Episode 329
: A phenomenon that occurs when awakened people use skills excessively or fail to control them.
Backflow of magical power.
The phenomenon that all awakened people pay attention to sometimes appeared in the form of runaway and sometimes in the form of a seal.
While research progresses and fails repeatedly.
Those who have reached the limit in controlling their magical power have learned how to freely handle runaway and seals.
This was used to force a surge of magical energy to maximize the efficiency of the skill, and to forcibly seal the magical energy to avoid detection.
The method chosen to activate the skill ‘Devil Gate’ was the latter.
Runaway and sealing.
Although it is easy to control for Taehyun now.
Even he didn’t know one thing.
‘Devil Gate’ is not Kasim Jort’s pure skill.
It is said that the magic of the great devil Gorfer is mixed and strengthened by the power of desire.
That was why all of Taehyun’s skills were sealed in return for forcibly activating the skills.
[What is it?]
Gorper was startled by the energy radiating from Taehyun’s body.
Purple magic power symbolizing the power of Beelzebub.
You can tell at a glance.
That isn’t the magic power that is leaking out because it was eroded by one’s own attack.
I am the archduke alone.
The magic power of Beelzebub is emanating.
Like Cassim Zort, the contractor of Archduke Beelzebub and Archdemon Gorfer.
I couldn’t help but ask.
[What is it? That power.]
Taehyun exhaled in response to Gorper’s question.
Blood mixed with purple and black was spit out.
“thanks. “Thanks to you, I survived.”
Chii Iik. Chi profit.
Taehyun said this, welcoming the purple magic that bloomed in his body.
The poisonous magic power was mixing with Gorfer’s magic power inside.
Thanks to this, my dried up magic power is slowly recovering.
The only thing whose seal-like cooldown was lifted was ‘Devil’s Saliva’.
If the internal magic was controlled like this, other skills would also be possible to use.
‘It will take quite some time to use them all, though.’
If you can somehow use ‘Heart of a High-Range Species’, it will only be a matter of time before the cooldown of other skills is lifted.
Tiring.
[Skill Devil’s Saliva (SSS) has been strengthened. Magic power consumption accelerates.]
Cheeeeeeeeeek.
Poisonous magical energy was seething in my body as if running wild.
It is burning a small ember at once until it spreads like a wildfire.
The effect was not light.
Gorfer’s fingernails, which were stuck in his body, melted away, like a tooth falling out.
[….]
Gorfer watched quietly as if he could not believe it.
It’s different from before.
The guy started to panic for an unknown reason.
The current Taehyun was not a player too immature to miss such an opportunity.
One lap.
Two wheels.
third round.
When the purple magic that swirled through my body passed three times.
“…!!”
I could feel different types of magical energy that had been sealed writhing.
The first thing to react was Igmun’s blood-red magic.
Tiring.
[The cooldown of the skill Blood Rush (SSS) has been lifted.]
[The skill Blood Rush (SSS) can be used.]
There was no need to check all the messages that came to mind.
Taehyun awakened his blood-red magic.
Tiring.
[Skill Blood Rush (SSS) has been activated.]
Bloody magic bloomed above the purple magic.
[A great power awakens. Muscle strength increases. Strength has reached 400.]
[A great power awakens. Stamina increases. Stamina has reached 410.]
[A great power awakens. The speed increases. The speed has become 400.]
[A great power awakens. Magic power increases. The horsepower has increased to 570.]
Quad Deuk. Quad deuk.
The two severed arms regenerated at high speed.
It was a red arm that appeared to belong to a vampire tribe.
All stats 400.
It wasn’t a bad number even though the skills couldn’t be duplicated.
In particular, the magic stat has increased significantly, and the speed at which the magic power in the body rotates has become even faster.
It was around that time.
[That’s Igmun’s magic power…]
Gorfer, who had worked hard to sort out the confusion in his head, asked.
[What are you doing?]
Not only is it not enough to use the magic power of his master, Beelzebub, but he is also using the power of Archduke Igmun.
Taehyun didn’t answer and just focused on the rotation of his magic power.
Normally, I would have mocked him and provoked him somehow.
Because provocation was a basic virtue before dealing with the highest species.
but.
‘Not now.’
Its magical power was enough to spark a handful of sparks in the sealed magical power.
Now, for Bang Chae-su’s safety, it was time to use all of his magical energy to turn off the cooldown of ‘Apostle of the Gate’.
[If you don’t answer, I’ll take care of that old bug first.]
Gorper took the hostage.
Unlike the average top species, it ate numerous humans.
Sometimes I ate it while playing with it, sometimes I ate it while talking, and sometimes I ate it while manipulating it with my hands and feet.
So, he knew how to deal with people well.
Taehyun remained silent and focused on detecting magical power.
Gorfer’s eyes sparkled.
[is it. You are not in a normal state.]
‘…!!’
The corners of Gorfer’s mouth twitched.
[Then the story is different.]
Its huge wings flapped.
Huh.
A hand the size of a head stretched out, aiming for the neck.
Taebaek, the first form of the new Korean ancient martial art.
Kwasik.
Taehyun slapped Gorper’s hand away.
Although I did not receive the buffs from ‘Demon Beast Flower’ and ‘Apocalypse’.
A different aspect from before unfolded with ‘Devil’s Saliva’ and ‘Blood Rush’.
Gorper also seemed quite surprised to see Taehyun slapping away his hand.
That’s it.
Tiring.
[Skill Energy Drain (SSS) cooldown has been lifted.]
[Skill Energy Drain (SSS) can be used.]
Taehyun frowned.
This is because he is not the ‘Apostle of the Gate’ that we have been waiting for.
[Do not refuse. Doesn’t this bring back bad memories?]
Gorper waved his hand again.
It’s not like limbs are cut off in vain like before.
‘I still don’t have enough stats to properly engage in close combat.’
The only way to avoid fatal injuries was to use ancient martial arts to create distance.
I glanced at Bang Chae-su.
Now my whole body was stained purple to the point where I couldn’t even moan.
‘More horsepower is needed.’
Quaaaaa.
Taehyun raised his magic power.
Not the original dark red magic power.
Beelzebub’s purple magic and Igmun’s blood red magic mixed together and flowed.
[Hoo.]
Gorper looked like he was seeing something rare.
Taehyun straightened his posture.
In order to hit ‘Energy Drain’ in the current situation where skill use is limited.
‘You have to dig into your arms.’
There was no need to worry.
Taking risks is something I am used to.
Geumgang, the 3rd form of the new Korean ancient martial art.
Train your body.
They rushed into the guy’s arms.
Developing the first form of ancient Chinese martial arts.
I raised my fist.
Gorfer smiled and snapped his fingers.
The guy’s poisonous nails collided with Taehyun’s poisonous fists, creating a loud noise.
Grumbling.
Taehyun was the one pushed back.
I changed direction without stopping.
Chonjing, the second form of ancient Chinese martial arts.
The third form of ancient Chinese martial arts.
Quang. Quang.
The two attacks, which were the principle of ascent, quickly struck off two of Gorper’s claws.
One step forward again.
New Korean ancient martial art 2nd type Sangyeong.
The two thorns targeting the vital area melted.
I gave strength to the foot I stepped forward.
The fourth form of ancient Chinese martial arts, Xuanjing.
Quang.
I struck out the three thorns that came at me again.
My fist tingled as I raised it.
Ancient Chinese martial arts fifth form penetrator.
I hit the five thorns with my fist.
New Korean Ancient Martial Art 5th Style Goryeo.
He kicked out three thorns.
Before I knew it, the distance with Gorper had completely narrowed.
The 4th form of Bagua, a new Korean ancient martial art.
Quad deuk.
Chii Iik.
A palm filled with poisonous magic touched Gorfer’s lower abdomen.
[You have an interesting talent. But that’s just it.]
Kwasik.
Gorfer’s hand grabbed Taehyun’s arm.
Chi profit. Chii Iik.
The purple magic power emanating from both arms began a struggle of strength.
[Did you think this would reach Gorfer?]
This is the moment when Gorfer’s red eyes, smiling frivolously, meet Taehyeon.
Pupupupupup.
Five awls were driven into Taehyeon’s limbs.
It was Gorper’s fingernail that was regenerated at high speed.
[Giggles.]
Gorfer let out a frivolous laugh and injected magical power into Taehyun’s body.
Chi profit. Chii Iik.
In the tug of war of purple magical power, Taehyun’s began to be pushed aside.
Gorfer’s laughter grew louder as his prey struggled.
at that time.
Wow.
Taehyun’s other hand grasped Gorper’s nails embedded in his body.
Tiring.
[Skill Energy Drain (SSS) has been activated. Specifies the target.]
[Skill Energy Drain (SSS) has been strengthened. Magic power consumption accelerates.]
Pazuzuzu.
Lower abdomen and nails.
The two hands that touched Gorfer’s body began to absorb magical power.
[This power. It resembles the power of Igmun.]
Gorfer said so and increased the magical power injected.
I know that the person in front of me is not in a normal physical condition.
However, he is gradually regaining his strength by confronting himself.
I don’t know where that power ends.
He realized that he could kill someone like Kasim Jort any number of times.
It’s enough to make me a new contractor.
[What is your desire? I, Gorfer, will listen.]
Gorfer’s hand grasped Taehyeon’s head.
If you want, you can twist its neck and kill it.
Nevertheless, Taehyun only focuses on absorbing magical power.
There was no reaction.
Pazzzzzz.
The magic power that was at its lowest point quickly rose up.
‘Devil’s Saliva’, ‘Blood Rush’, and ‘Energy Drain’.
The three skills were strengthened to their limits, and the magic power scattered.
Gorfer also increased his magic power to cast a spell.
Taehyun concentrated on the magic power within his body so as not to lose that power.
Fazizik. Pajik.
I felt a new skill being awakened by the rotation of the huge magical power.
Tiring.
[The cooldown of Skill Gate Adept (SSS) has been lifted.]
[Skill Gate Adept (SSS) can be used.]
“…!!”
Taehyun’s eyes opened wide.
There was no time to hesitate.
All magical power was used to activate new skills.
Tiring.
[Skill Gate Apostle (SSS) has been activated.]
I turned my head and looked at Bang Chae-su.
The already half-dead body of Bang Chae-su was recognized.
[The target has been identified.]
I recalled the coordinates of the Players Association.
[Location has been determined.]
Quaaaaaaa.
A gate suddenly appeared and swallowed Bang Chae-su’s body.
Gorper did not miss that opportunity.
Suddenly. Suddenly.
Toouk. Tuk.
Taehyun’s arms were cut off with such ease, as if tearing off the limbs of an insect.
Chi profit. Chii Iik.
Due to Gorper’s magic power already encroaching on his body, the speed of ultra-high-speed regeneration was significantly slowed down.
[Your desire was salvation.]
Chuckle.
Gorfer laughed and picked up Taehyun’s head.
It’s mocking.
A foolish human being who missed a golden opportunity to inflict damage on himself in order to save another human being.
Gorper’s magic power consumed more than half of Taehyeon’s body.
Only then did Taehyun’s mouth open.
“Are you really a member of Beelzebub?”
Gorfer’s red eyes sparkled.
[It is not like an ordinary member of the family. Speaking of Gorfer of Desire among the demon race…]
“There is no reason to make a pact with someone like you who is not even Beelzebub.”
This is the moment I said that.
Tiring.
[The cooldown time for the skill Heart of a Higher Species (SSS) has been lifted.]
[The skill Heart of a Higher Species (SSS) can be used.]
One minute felt like 10 hours.
The order has changed somewhat.
It was a skill I had been waiting for for a long time.
Tiring.
[Skill Heart of a Higher Species (SSS) has been activated.]
Kiiiiing.
In Taehyun’s body.
Another heart was created.
