Episode 280
[Kim Tae-hyun, Rosaria’s contractor.]
Erebos opened his mouth as he saw Tae-hyun suddenly interjecting.
“Do you know me?”
Taehyun shook off the thick blood on his great sword and looked up at the large body.
Taehyun’s hand holding the sword tingled as if sparks were flying even in the blood.
‘It’s a thunderstorm. Is it the power of the giants?’
The incredibly powerful fire that Tartarus had emitted the other day came to mind vividly.
Looking at it now, he also used the power of the giants.
However.
There is no way that the level of power used by the monsters that could not overcome the wall and the monsters that did overcome the wall would be the same.
Erebos’ thunderbolt had a power completely different from that of Tartarus.
The shock of Muron, who was hit directly by that force, did not seem small.
This is because the thunderbolt of Erebos still remains and flows within the body.
If it wasn’t Taehyun.
He would have ended his life in vain.
Quad deuk. Crack.
Erebos’ arm, which was cut off by the ‘Apostle of Darkness’, began to regenerate at high speed.
“wow.”
Taehyun was a little amazed when he saw that.
High-speed regeneration is an insignificant ability for top-level monsters.
The speed and number of times vary depending on the horsepower and control you have.
In that sense, it’s a huge thing, reaching 10 meters.
Erebos is an arm, a leg, or a red eye.
It showed uniform regeneration speed regardless of the area.
Even though he had already received fatal injuries from Muron several times.
It was a different feeling than when I saw it from the castle.
‘Does the power of electricity attribute affect regeneration speed?’
That’s when Taehyun was thinking about it.
[human. Taehyun Kim. It was during a sacred duel. Why did you intervene?]
Suddenly.
Erebos asked, thrusting his huge face forward.
Taehyun smiled at that sight without realizing it.
“A fair duel between monsters. A passing dog will laugh.”
[….]
This much leeway in putting yourself in front of yourself.
Besides, the one who broke the rules first showed such confidence?
Even Erebos fell silent at that attitude.
It’s not wrong, though.
Because it was not appropriate for a human to say such a thing.
[Don’t interrupt…]
Muron, who recovered his body belatedly, said this.
There seemed to be no physical impact due to the high-speed playback.
The fact that he was driven to the brink of death and that he received Taehyun’s help seemed to have greatly hurt his pride.
Taehyun clicked his tongue when he saw that.
“You already missed your chance.”
How dare you make such a mockery of yourself, the highest-ranking species.
It’s time for Muron to shout with speculation.
“Shut up and follow me. Muron.”
Quaaaaa.
A fierce spirit emanated from Taehyun’s body.
[…!!]
It was a level of speculation that Erebos, who was watching, was impressed.
Cutting off the arm wasn’t a coincidence due to the effect of surprise.
Unlike Erebos, who thinks like that.
[How dare you…!!]
Muron, whose pride had been seriously hurt, shook his body and tried to release his magic.
Taehyun was not one to just sit back and watch.
Tiring.
[Skill Apocalypse (SS) has been activated. Specifies the target.]
Quaaaaa.
The opened magical power instantly created a realm of darkness.
Sigh. Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
A chain flowing from the darkness wrapped around Muron’s body.
Muron is exhausted from having already used considerable strength in the fight against Erebos.
The skills used by Taehyun, who was in a perfect state, could not be easily defeated.
He probably didn’t even know how to use the skill on himself.
Quadddddd.
The chains that bound Muron’s body were pulled taut.
Tiring.
[Skill Binding Chain (SS) has been activated. Specify the target.]
[This….]
Muron’s face was colored with anger as the pain felt as if his wings would break off.
“Answer me. “Who am I?”
It seems like Taehyun doesn’t care about her feelings.
I asked indifferently.
[Release… you bastard…]
Tiring.
[Skill Binding Chain (SS) has been strengthened. Magic power consumption accelerates.]
Crack. Quad deuk.
As the skill strengthened, the tightening force of the chains of restraint became stronger.
Top species.
Succubus Fairy.
Muron, a member of the highest class who was given power by Rosaria.
Her body began to break down from Taehyun’s skills.
It is a skill only used by humans.
Nevertheless, it was no less powerful than the fist of Erebos.
“I asked who I was.”
Ddddddddd.
One wing was broken by the tightening chain and fell off.
Surprisingly, high-speed playback is also not possible.
A moan escaped Muron’s mouth.
Taehyun’s magical power, who received the ‘Apocalypse’ buff, was stronger than expected.
There’s nothing that can’t break the chain.
To do that, you have to do your best.
If that level of power was used, there would no longer be any strength left to deal with Erebos.
It was as obvious as fire that the remaining troops would be trampled by Erebos and the giants.
So for now.
[Damn it…]
Muron cursed and lowered his head.
I had to listen to what Taehyun said.
[Kim Tae-hyun… Rosaria’s contractor….]
“Yes. “You remember what I said, right?”
If you don’t do it right.
If you put your castle at risk.
He said he would take command authority himself.
Although I scoffed at the time.
This was a situation that suited those words perfectly.
Belatedly, I realized that I had been caught in a trap set by Taehyun.
I was about to say something cursing.
Crack. Quad deuk.
I had no choice but to swallow the words that were up to my chin due to the tightening chains.
“A promise is a promise. “Choose.”
[….]
“I wonder if I will win the battle by leaving Erebos to me. “Will you make sacrifices to show off your humble pride?”
Muron is also an SSS-level monster with a strong sense of pride.
He is the commander who has protected the 5th Star until now.
Now that I fully understand Taehyun’s power and remember my priorities.
The worries didn’t last long.
She put down her pride as a member of the highest class.
[I will follow….]
“He’s a good kid.”
Taehyun unlocked ‘Apocalypse’.
Passsss.
In an instant, the darkness cleared and the surroundings returned to their original appearance.
The sight of Erebos with his red eyes quietly flashing came into view.
“Did you wait long?”
[You were the actual owner of the castle.]
Erebos, who watched the process of Muron’s surrender, commented thus.
Taehyun also did not deny it.
“okay. From now on, I am the commander of the castle. If you defeat me, it means that you can enter the city without blood this time.”
At those words, Erebos shook his large body.
[Phew. Do you think I will believe that again?]
This is a duel I have already won once.
From the moment Taehyun intervened, Muron was as good as defeated.
And yet you challenge me to a duel again.
[You look at me funny.]
“That can’t be possible.”
Taehyun shook his head.
You know it too.
How contradictory your current actions are.
so.
“I have a new proposal.”
[Say.]
“If you defeat me, there will be no more battle. Let me hand over this castle and one more castle. Of course, that includes your right to decide whether to take me alive to Orgal or eat me.”
[…!!]
Erebus couldn’t help but hide his surprised expression at those words.
You can get your hands on two castles that symbolize the Grand Duke’s domain, as well as Kim Tae-hyun, the contractor.
[How can I believe that?]
“Hmm… I plan on keeping my promise. Even Muron’s head as a token….”
That was then.
Kwaang!!
A huge boulder fell on my head.
Taehyun avoided it without difficulty.
[older brother!! Are you okay!!]
The one who threw the rock was Aeter, who jumped out of the group.
[Aiter. You are doing something for no reason.]
Erebos quietly advised.
[How dare you… break your promise… like this…]
Grrr.
Aether was angry like never before.
To him, Erebos is the new king.
A new leader who will revive the giants.
From the moment he cut off Erebos’ arm, Taehyun was nothing short of a bitter enemy.
[Calm down, Aether.]
Despite Erebos’ words, Aether’s body jumped out first.
Phew.
As befits the hot-tempered giants.
The body moved based on instinct rather than reason.
He put his clasped hands down.
Muron was unable to fully recover from the power of Erebos and Taehyun’s skills.
And Taehyun stands still.
It was to deal with both.
Kwaang!!
Aether’s fist cracked the floor and scattered rocks.
Unlike Muron, who hastily used his wings to avoid it.
Taehyun narrowly avoided the fist.
The giant’s red eyes followed the movements of the two beings.
Suddenly.
An outstretched arm caught the flying Muron.
And this is the moment when another arm is about to grab Taehyun.
Suddenly!!
Aether’s strong muscles were cut by something.
It didn’t take long to realize that it was caused by the great sword Taehyun was holding.
Aether is also a top-class monster.
The severed arm quickly regenerated at high speed.
That’s not all.
Come on, come on, come on.
Coldness emanated from the body.
Typhon’s blood relative and heir to his power.
Aether of cold air.
This was the name he was once called when he became infamous.
The cold air that erupted engulfed Taehyun and Muron.
The creature that had been pulsating just a moment ago turned into an ice crystal.
[How dare you not know the topic…]
Aeter huffed.
[You’re excited, Aeter.]
Erebos smiled and placed his hand on Aeter’s shoulder.
He had a tendency to become especially excited about his brother’s affairs after losing Typhon.
[Brother, are you okay….]
Aeter could not finish his sentence.
Chi profit. Chii Iik.
This is because his ice began to melt along with the purple magic power.
It happened in the blink of an eye.
Tiring.
[Skill Devil’s Saliva (SS) has been strengthened. Magic consumption is accelerated.]
[Skill Apocalypse (SS) has been activated.]
[Skill Demonization (SS) has been activated. Specifies the part of the mimicry.]
[The eye of a higher-ranking skill (SS) has been activated.]
[The heart of a higher-ranking skill (SS) has been activated.]
For a moment, wait for the purple magic and dark red magic to soar from Taehyun’s body. .
The ice completely melted, revealing Taehyun, who was emitting evil magical power.
New Korean ancient martial arts 6th form, Sibjin.
Kwaang!!!
Taehyun’s fist, transformed into a demonic beast, was lodged in Aeter’s chest.
[Whoops…!!]
As Aether fell backwards, the ground rang.
Sigh. Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
The ‘chains of restraint’ quickly bound its large body.
Tiring.
[Skill Energy Drain (SS) has been activated. Specifies the target.]
Tsuzzzzzzzzzz.
The chains surrounding Aeter’s body began to absorb magical power.
[Pfft…]
Aeter groaned at the unexpected technique.
I never thought that humans would use such advanced technology.
He tried to move his arms to shake off the chains.
But the more you do that, the more powerful the loss of magic becomes.
It meant that Taehyun’s magical power was greater than his own, the highest species.
[What the…]
What kind of ability does this make no sense?
Following Beelzebub, it is the power of Igmun.
If things continue like this, it’s only a matter of time before something happens.
As Aether was thinking that, it was the moment when he was about to unleash his cold magic once again.
“Stop moving.”
Before I knew it, Taehyun’s great sword had reached Aeter’s neck.
“If I move even a little, I’ll cut you?”
Chi profit. Cheeik.
As he spoke, a poisonous magical power bloomed in the body of the great sword.
It was Beelzebub’s purple magic power.
I knew it instinctively.
If it touches that sword, high-speed regeneration will be useless.
It’s a moment where you can’t do this or that.
Fazizik. I don’t know what to do.
There was a thunderstorm.
at the same time.
Damn it.
There was a crack in ‘Apocalypse’.
thud. thud. thud. thud.
It didn’t take long for ‘Apocalypse’ to completely collapse.
[Rosaria’s contractor. [He was anxious to die.]
There was Erebos, emitting electricity from all over his body.
[Still with this kind of power…]
Muron’s body stiffened from the power that was incomparable to when he fought.
Everyone is afraid.
“There was a loud knock on the door. Have you considered accepting the new conditions?”
Taehyun’s face was smiling as he said that.
