Episode 283:
Giants.
Even among the vicious monsters of the Abyss.
A race that is at the peak of physical ability.
Currently, it is on the path of decline after being defeated by the demonic beast tribe led by Orgal.
That was just a disaster that occurred due to the defeat of the Giant King and the small population of giants.
The strength of each individual was still a race that was evaluated at the top, just like the dragon race.
To Erebos, who leads the giants and is called the next giant king.
Kwasik. Crack.
Taehyun’s ancient martial arts were effective without stopping.
[This is outrageous.]
I couldn’t blow off his leg with one hit.
The supporting bones cracked.
Immediately afterwards, Erebos laughed as he followed Taehyun, who was running away like a rat.
The Eye of Erebos is also of the highest species.
That’s why I was able to see it.
The remnants of the Great Duke flowing from Taehyun’s body.
Igmun Orgal Beelzebub Hazard.
The magic power of your archduke.
Even if it is the Archduke’s, it is insignificant compared to what the highest class possesses.
However.
The ‘source powers’ that had to be fought fiercely were being properly harmonized within the dark red magical power.
The result was that the blessed body was falling apart every moment.
This was also the reason why Erebos could not end Taehyeon even though he was using the power of thunderbolt.
Pow.
Taehyun’s arm, which was escaping, was exploded by Erebos’ thunderbolt.
He was the master of fighting in close combat, ignoring the thunderbolts that surrounded his body.
It’s natural that once you’ve experienced it, you’ll never think of trying it again.
“It fucking hurts.”
Taehyun grumbled and rushed to the feet of Erebos once again.
Ancient Chinese martial arts fifth form penetrator.
Quang.
Only one attack hits.
Pow. Pow.
Arms and legs exploded one by one.
Taehyun frowned as he looked at his regenerating limbs.
I thought I had gotten used to it after being treated harshly by Beelzebub and Jormungand.
This is because I can’t get used to the pain of my body bursting and regenerating.
As soon as the playback ended, Taehyun rolled over.
Erebos’ foot landed on that spot, and for a moment, Erebos’ red eyes flashed.
I finally caught Taehyun’s movements.
[Noob!!]
Paz, that is. That’s it.
Erebos’ fist struck Taehyun’s body as he tried to aim behind him.
Kwaang!!
Even though he guarded for a moment, Taehyun’s arms exploded.
He gave up his arm and saved his entire body.
Even that blown off arm.
Quad deuk. quaddddd.
It was regenerated at high speed in an instant with blood-red magic.
What makes me think that this body is human?
What makes you think that magic power is just a contractor?
[Puh-huh.]
Erebos started laughing without even realizing it.
Rosaria, the weakest of the great dukes.
It was only recently that I ignored the dream demon tribe she led.
He is a person who survived wars in the past by using the Giant King’s selfish intentions.
That’s her.
When I heard that a turf war had been started using human contractors, I thought it was crazy.
It is said that he could not withstand the pressure of the great dukes alone without the Giant King.
So, I’m trying to make one last effort before I die.
That thought did not change when I met and dealt with Muron.
The dream demons are still weak, and Rosaria, with these guys under her, will not be able to continue her position as archduke for long.
But Taehyun Kim.
After several fights with this damn human being in front of me.
Those thoughts disappeared completely.
Human (人間).
Insignificant insects that exist to be trampled by their own monsters.
A bug that I thought I could kill whenever I wanted to.
The spirit of speculation is being raised in front of the leader of the giants.
He was the perfect warrior.
So much so that it reminds him of his past king, Typhon.
The spirit of victory was overflowing.
Although I am playing with his cunning tongue and making a bet.
Regardless of winning, I wanted to try everything.
I wanted to check out all the power he was hiding.
so.
[Use the power of human Rosaria.]
Erebus said this after stopping the attack.
The thunderstorm that had devastated the area stopped.
Taehyun was given a chance.
Whether you use Rosaria’s power.
Whether to use that vicious power from a moment ago.
I encourage you to show all the power you have.
but.
Taehyun, covered in blood all over, shook his head.
A colorful light leaked out from the enemy’s eyes, which had awakened the power of the highest species in a human body.
“not there yet.”
Right after that.
New Korean ancient martial arts 6th type plain.
Kwasik!!
The 6th form of ancient Chinese martial arts, Xinhua Jing.
Kwaang!!
Erebos’ massive body shook due to Taehyun’s surprise attack.
Cooung.
The defenseless body could not withstand the shaking and collapsed.
[Phew. Is that more powerful than words?]
Erebos’ body shook as he fell.
I saw Taehyun take a leap.
He could be seen concentrating his magic power on his huge arm, aiming for his own neck.
Skill ‘Demonization’.
That cheeky attack that can be felt by Orgal’s magic power.
Regardless of how you feel, if you allow the attack, quite a bit of shock will wash over your body.
Erebos’ magic power was reversed.
[You are not the only one who possesses that power.]
Wait a moment for your red eyes to flash.
Quaoooooo.
Brown magical energy bloomed from the giant body.
* * *
Tiring.
[Withstands enormous force. Stamina has increased by 1.]
[Refines enormous magical power. Magic power has increased by 1.]
[Condenses enormous power. Strength has increased by 1.]
[Contains enormous power. Speed has increased by 1.]
Messages appear one after another.
Each and every one of them was satisfactory.
Quang!
That’s why Taehyun can smile even though his arms are flying off from Erebos’ thunderbolt.
‘Indeed, the next King of Giants. Just by dealing with them, your stats don’t stop increasing.’
I can definitely say that it is another top species watching from the corner over there.
Even if you fight Muron and Aether at the same time, it would be difficult to expect this level of stat increase.
This meant that Erebos had a level of strength that was different from that of other SSS grade monsters.
‘Maybe he’s similar to Asmodeus.’
Asmodeus in Rosaria’s memories.
Its power has not yet reached the Archduke.
It clearly had the greatest power among the highest-class monsters.
The same goes for Erebos, who we are dealing with now.
‘The battle ahead is on a different level than before.’
Kwaang!!
Erebos’ fist read the movement and struck Taehyeon’s body.
The guarding arm was broken and regenerated in an instant.
A pain that feels like it’s going to blow your mind.
Twisting.
Dark red magic flowed out from Taehyun’s red eyes as he clenched his teeth.
‘It’s still worth holding on.’
If it had been like before, we would have immediately resorted to predation to overcome the crisis.
But it was no longer possible to do it that way.
This is because I had a lot of feelings from Jormungand, whom I met earlier.
The power he used went out of control.
I realized this while going back and forth between the lines of fire during the confrontation at that time.
If you rely only on predation, you won’t be able to surpass the great dukes in the end.
In order to control the runaway power, you need to build up more proper stats.
‘The king told me to surpass even the princes.’
That thought wouldn’t be wrong.
The border between life and death.
Mental power and body that have already transcended the human vessel.
Taehyeon had already taken a step into the path that the king had taken in the past.
Even though I, the person involved, did not know.
‘Raise your stats as much as possible here.’
Kwaang!!
New Korean and Chinese ancient martial arts.
The seasons reborn from the awakened body pounded on the body of Erebos.
And suddenly.
Quaoooooo.
Brown magical power bloomed from Erebos’ body.
‘This…!!’
This is the moment when Taehyun stops moving due to a familiar force.
[That arrogance. Will I still be able to remain the same in the face of this power?]
Sting.
A fist like a shooting star swung.
‘Thunderbolt’ and ‘Strengthening’.
A huge arm surrounded by two powers attacked Taehyeon.
‘I have to stop it…’
It was my instinct.
‘Blood Runaway’, ‘Demon Beast Flower’, ‘Magic Power of Predation’, ‘Stone Skin’, and ‘Ancient Martial Arts’.
We defended ourselves with everything available.
That choice saved his life.
Kwaang!!!
dump.
Taehyun’s body, with half of his body blown away.
I fell to the ground helplessly.
* * *
Quad deuk. Quad deuk.
Igmun’s blood-red magic regenerated his body.
Wow.
Taehyun put his hands on the floor and got up.
Just for a moment.
‘I lost consciousness.’
The shock was even greater because I never expected to use two powers.
What if Erebos had made a follow-up hit there?
‘It was dangerous.’
Sometimes I blame myself for my mistakes.
I had a doubt.
‘Isn’t it finished? ‘I didn’t finish it.’
The doubts did not last long.
“That power also carries risks.”
Paz, that is. That’s it.
Taehyun said this while looking at Erebos’ swollen right arm.
Although it is wrapped in lightning.
It was clearly visible to the enhanced ‘eyes of a higher species’.
Destruction and rebirth are repeated.
Just by overlapping two powers.
“I know that feeling.”
While saying that, I checked the status.
There is no problem in continuing the battle, except that the magic power is low due to repeated high-speed regeneration and skill use.
[Amazing. I never thought I would be able to endure this.]
Erebos said that with all his heart.
The magic power of Orgal planted in him when he took him as his subordinate.
Even though I endured humiliation and used that power.
The tough vitality could not be cut off.
The reason I haven’t used my power until now isn’t just because of pride.
Erebos is the being who will lead the revival of the giants.
Even his chosen rigid body found it burdensome to contain two powers.
I rolled my huge red eyes and looked at my arm.
The repetition of destruction and rebirth was like watching Typhon’s.
In the meantime, he could see that Orgal’s power was trying to devour his own power.
As Taehyun said, it was not a technique that could be used for a long time.
However.
[Phew. That’s enough time to turn a human into a mess.]
Uddudeuddeuk.
Erebos’ left arm swelled.
At the same time, destruction and regeneration became faster.
“You’re a very manly man.”
Taehyun clicked his tongue and rolled his head.
‘This is no difference in close combat.’
The stats have been raised sufficiently.
From now on, it was time to do our best to win.
Watching Erebos use the power of strengthening on his legs.
Taehyun reorganized his strength.
Tiring.
[Skill Energy Drain (SS) has been activated. Specifies the target.]
Pazuzuzu.
[Gurgling.]
[Surprising.]
Sharp chains tightened around the bodies of Muron and Aeter, who were far away.
At the same time, Taehyun’s magical power began to build up quickly.
next.
[The eye (SS) of a higher skill species has been synchronized with the heart (SS) of a higher species.] [
The characteristic ‘insight’ of the eye (SS) of a higher skill species is strengthened.]
[The heart of a higher species of skill (SS) The additional effect ‘Canceller’ is activated.]
[The cooldown of skill Apocalypse (SS) has been canceled. 200 magical power has been consumed.]
The cooldown time for all skills has been canceled due to the effect of ‘Heart of a Higher Species’.
Tiring.
[Skill Apocalypse (SS) has been activated. Specify the target. Magic consumption accelerates.]
A certain darkness fell on the prey.
All of this happened while Erebos controlled the two powers.
[Such a trick again.]
Sigh. Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Kugugoogung.
Chains, gravity, and all kinds of miscellaneous magical powers are mixed together.
That’s what Erebos commented on when he saw the ‘Apocalypse’ that was strangling him.
This is a technology that has already been broken once.
Now even stronger.
I thought this could be broken without difficulty.
Of course, Taehyun had no intention of leaving it that way.
“You’d better concentrate.”
Quaaaaaaaaa.
Taehyun’s red eyes, filled with blood-red magic, were unusual.
With that said, finally.
Quang.
A giant who uses two powers.
A human who uses multiple powers.
The bodies of two transcendent beings were mixed.
And the end.
“Look into my eyes.”
Tiring.
[Skill Ataraxia (SS) has been activated. Specifies the target. Magic power consumption accelerates.]
As always.
It was Rosaria’s technology.
