Episode 411:
Hi Kraken Zelga.
It is the highest species living in the Demon Sea and is ranked 50th in the ranking of clans boasted by Grand Duke Jormungand.
Over a hundred tentacles toyed with and crushed numerous monsters, and not only the Sea Clan but also other species trembled just by looking at his red eyes.
As the great warrior and king of the Kraken.
He proudly enjoyed all the glory.
But everything he enjoyed collapsed when he met a person.
Taehyun Kim.
The key to the Underworld King, a contractor of Grand Duke Rosaria and now known to all top-ranking species.
The great Kraken king had to lose a lot when he met him.
his lord.
The reason was that he did not like the guide’s attitude toward the subject of trespassing on Grand Duke Jormungand’s territory.
Of the hundred tentacles it boasted, all but ten were lost.
However, his attitude was so arrogant that he warned that if he was seen again, he would not leave him alone.
In the face of his enemy’s fierce red eyes, Zelga could not even utter a single word and had to keep running.
I only realized this after hiding myself deep in the sea where he wouldn’t find me.
Due to his decline in rank, he was no longer the archduke’s proud warrior.
It was shameful and humiliating.
Even if it was belated, he thought of jumping into a turf war and fighting violently for the Archduke.
It wasn’t long before Jormungand came.
[Jelga. I will give you a chance.]
The Grand Duke said so and ordered us to cross the gate and head to Earth.
Kim Tae-hyun’s home planet.
He said that the people there were not as strong as Kim Tae-hyun and that it could be an attractive hunting ground even for him who was downgraded now.
Kim Tae-hyun ordered to hunt humans with peace of mind, knowing that he would be trapped in the underworld and wandering around for eternity.
[Restore your status by trampling and dominating. So, return to your throne.]
Following the grand duke’s solemn command, Zelga led the large body and crossed the gate.
It wasn’t easy.
Due to the downgraded power of existence, the Law of the Abyss was able to be minimized, but the curse could not be completely avoided.
After arriving on Earth, humans formed an area they called a dungeon to maintain the scattered existence.
It was a second-best solution implemented because the existence power of this insignificant planet could not handle its own.
It miniaturized its massive body and devoured humans who entered its territory without knowing what it was.
The power was so small that nothing like restoration of status was achieved.
Nevertheless, just knowing that this was Kim Tae-hyun’s hometown and that he had a similar appearance was enough to provide satisfaction.
Before I knew it, Zelga was enjoying hunting humans here.
He ate countless small creatures and understood their culture, language, technology, etc.
Intelligence has increased.
Some of the tentacles lost to Kim Tae-hyun were regenerated, and a slight recovery was achieved.
The dungeon has been expanded.
The more this happened, the more people sacrificed their lives to prevent the expansion of Xelga’s territory.
It was an easy hunt.
As the Grand Duke said, a monster like Kim Tae-hyun did not exist.
Here, I will recover all my strength and become famous as a strongman of the Demon Sea again.
I will return to being the Archduke’s faithful confidant.
But at some point, I felt a sense of déjà vu.
It didn’t take long for him to realize that the sense of déjà vu was connected to the gate he had passed through.
The flow of time has changed.
It was meaningless to him, who had an infinite lifespan, but it was a change that could have various meanings to the humans here.
The gate to the underworld was blocked, but only then did I understand.
What did his master mean when he said not to worry about Kim Tae-hyun returning?
Around that time, changes occurred on this planet as well.
A huge distortion of magical power occurred.
That meant that someone who could be said to be the highest-ranking member of the Archduke’s family had appeared.
I was happy, but at the same time nervous.
With the appearance of an unknown person, the power he could expand increased, but if he did not recover his power as soon as possible, it would be difficult for him to reign as king even here in the land of insects.
The subsequent distortion of magical power confirmed that thought.
It expanded its territory rapidly and took the lives of many invading insects to stop it.
Before I knew it, Xelga had recovered twenty tentacles.
This is enough.
Zelga prepared to leave the dungeon.
With just one release of magic power, the demonic sea swallowed up the bugs.
If you activate the brake like this and swallow tens of thousands of tiny creatures, you will be able to recover at least one more tentacle.
At that time, an unexpected bug blocked the Demon Sea.
Ice wall.
She was a young woman who had entered Zelga’s territory several times.
The woman’s magical power slowed down the progress of the Demon Sea.
How funny it was to see him throw his life away like straw to save others.
Giggling.
For the first time in a long time, Zelga laughed, waving his tentacles.
Anyway, the moment this place is destroyed, all the bugs will be swept away by the Demon Sea.
In the end, it will be swallowed and reduced to its own prey.
[A trivial struggle.]
Xelga moved his shrunken body.
The woman who used the ice wall was unable to resist and surrendered her body to the tentacles.
His body was trembling as a result of fighting against the enormous magical power.
Nevertheless.
There was no trace of fear in his raised eyes.
“Come at me, monster.”
Even while the woman was vomiting blood, her lips were moving.
The arrogant attitude ruined Zelga’s mood.
Above all, the language the woman spoke a little while ago.
Isn’t that called New Korean?
The image of Taehyun Kim that I had forgotten overlapped.
[How arrogant.]
The tentacles wrapped around the woman’s body were loosened.
I had no intention of eating it easily.
After teaching this weak human about the power of the highest species, he planned to slowly pull out his heart and take it.
[All of this for Jormungand…] This
is the moment when Xelga is about to perform a sacred ceremony while mentioning the lord he serves.
Inside the dungeon.
A moment ago, a huge distortion of magical power occurred where he was.
At first, I thought the gate that had lost its connection to the lower world had been reactivated.
But no.
‘Something’ came through the activated gate.
How enormous is that power.
Xelga was embarrassed and unknowingly put his strength on his tentacles.
[Could it be… Archduke…?]
It wasn’t Jormungand’s.
If it had been him, all the demonic creatures in the dungeon would have recognized their true owners and been returned to them.
[Then what?…]
Xelga trembled at the huge presence approaching towards him.
“Kahak…”
The woman could not withstand the force of the tentacle and groaned, vomiting blood.
This is exactly what Zelga wanted.
He couldn’t help but laugh at the sight of the woman.
If the entity that is quickly approaching this direction is an enemy, Zelga will also end up in a similar situation.
[This…!!]
There was no time to hesitate.
Although it was not enough, it brought out the power of my master, Runaway.
Fuwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
The number of tentacles that had only been twenty was instantly regenerated into nearly fifty.
Using this power will only be temporary.
I had to delay as much as possible the approach of that unknown entity.
Before you know it, Zelga, who was the owner of the dungeon, is a mere creature in front of you.
I ended up in the same position as Lim Ah-young.
The waves of the Demon Sea swirled around like a whirlpool.
It was no use.
Wow!!
The demonic sea parted and a being appeared.
A person who shouldn’t be here.
He is the one who brought himself, a great top species, to this planet called Earth.
[Kim Tae-hyun…!!]
Tae-hyun’s expression as he looked at Zelga stuttering was strange.
“Hi Kraken Zelga!!”
Suddenly.
Taehyun grabbed Zelga’s tentacle and waved it as if he was happy.
And suddenly.
“Huh… Lim Ah-young…?”
I found a woman moaning, wrapped in another tentacle.
[….]
“Jelga… you bastard….”
Until Taehyun’s attitude changed.
It took less than 30 seconds.
* * *
Lim Ah-young came to her senses as the liquid flowed into her mouth.
As the liquid completely soaked into my body, I felt the pain ease.
After a while, it felt like someone’s hand was searching inside my chest, and a pure white light enveloped my body.
He used a scroll on her behalf as she had no power to lift a finger.
The inside was so messed up due to the influence of reflux.
It was a few more minutes later that Ayoung fully came to her senses.
Not far away, someone was shouting in New Korean.
My blurry vision became completely focused.
My hazy consciousness became clear.
at the same time.
“Hi Kraken!!”
She screamed and jumped up.
It was because he remembered what he was dealing with.
and.
“Ah…”
I was dumbfounded by the situation in front of me.
A monster that radiates a huge presence and devours countless players.
It had its tentacles curled and its red eyes were downcast.
The huge body was trembling so clearly that it could be seen at a glance.
It was like seeing a child being scolded for making a mistake.
“What the hell is this…”
Ayoung looked at the back of the man who did not lower his voice even in front of the High Kraken.
I couldn’t see the face, but the voice was familiar.
No, it’s not what I’m used to.
“You…”
That was because it belonged to a man I thought I might not be able to hear anymore.
“Kim…Taehyun…?”
Ayoung said the name.
That alone made my voice tremble and my vision blur.
What came back was a calm voice that contrasted with hers.
“Are you awake? Wait a moment. “I’ll just take care of this and then treat you.”
As Taehyun said those words, dark blue magic bloomed from his body.
Taehyun’s voice urges you to swear obedience.
High Kraken shook his head several times.
Each time, a one-sided beating followed.
Many of the High Kraken’s tentacles that had regenerated were torn off.
Only then did the monster accept the dark blue magic power as if it had no choice.
“Stay in the corner until I find you. “Don’t even dream about the brakes.”
The High Kraken let out a groan-like sound and went back the way it came.
Only then did Taehyun approach Ayoung.
“What the hell is this… “What…”
“Thanks.”
“what…?”
“Thanks to you, I came to the right place.”
“What…”
He said he was able to choose without hesitation thanks to her opening up his magic power to its limits.
Taehyun let out an incomprehensible sound.
and.
“I have a lot to ask.”
Smirk.
Taehyun raised the corners of his mouth and showed his characteristic relaxed smile.
Just that sight filled me with so much relief.
Ayoung was nodding her head without realizing it.
* * *
The world was being shaken anew.
Three unexplored dungeons rated SSS+.
One of them broke, and survivors testified that the player from New Korea sacrificed his life to avoid the worst.
People revered Lim Ah-young, a SS-rank player who sacrificed her life.
Not Japan’s Yoshikawa Tsurara, who clings here and there like a hyena.
She was talking about how worthy of the name saint.
That kind of gossip didn’t last long.
This is because it became known that China activated the gate at the New Delhi conference hall.
Numerous countries poured out their anger.
Of course, world peace.
They were ridiculed and despised, saying that they were of no help to the planet Earth.
Racist terrorism, which had barely subsided after the Gray Disease, has increased rapidly.
The enthusiasm for revering Lim Ah-young as an Oriental saint has cooled.
Despite clear evidence, China denied it and blamed the incident at the conference hall on the gate experiment conducted indiscriminately by countries around the world.
Rather, he declared his will to unify India and Taiwan, which are involved in a territorial dispute, saying that he would no longer tolerate those who divide the two major countries.
The World Players Association and the Federation of China supported China.
Afterwards, the United States exposed Vincent Chang’s corruption, and it became a muddy fight.
And suddenly.
Gate breaks occurred in Taipei, the capital of Taiwan, and New Delhi, the capital of India.
I had no doubt that the national power level Su Jinchang and Azaruddin Ismail would block it.
Contrary to popular opinion, the attack force led by the two national powers was repeatedly defeated.
Only later did it become known that the monsters that appeared in the capital were SSS+ level monsters.
Taiwan and India were devastated by the huge dungeon located in the capital.
P50, which includes Taiwan and India, requested help from each country’s player associations, and several named players from New Korea were dispatched to the scene.
