Episode 427:
Tiring.
[The enhancement of skill Ataraxia (???) has reached its limit.]
[The consumption of magic power accelerates.]
[The target’s mind collapses.]
Taehyun, not paying attention to the message that came to mind, raised his magic power.
Hahahahaha.
Purple magical power ravaged Mephisto’s mind.
Anyway, what Taehyun needs is his body and the magic power that resides in it.
I didn’t care about the guy’s spirit being destroyed.
It took about a minute to read the memory.
It was enough time to figure out that the demons were cornered and that Beelzebub’s condition was not normal.
[Kak….]
In addition to Taehyun scanning his mind, Mephisto’s body began to deteriorate due to the risk of not fulfilling the contract.
The existence that we worked so hard to achieve is being permanently damaged.
It was difficult.
“Gilfer!!”
Taehyun, who lifted ‘Apocalypse’, called out to Gilper.
Gilper understood the meaning and came over, flapping his wings.
Tiring.
[Skill Binding Chain (???) has been activated. Specifies the target.]
Sigh. Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Two chains wrapped around Mephisto and Gilfer.
[Wait a minute….]
Gilper was unable to hide his embarrassment at the chains that forcibly bound him.
It reminded me of Taehyun’s rough hands when he handed over the power of the great devil.
“This is not the time for friendly bickering.”
Because Mephisto’s presence was decreasing by the minute, there was no time to proceed as slowly as before.
Tiring.
[The enhancement of the skill Energy Drain (???) has reached its limit.]
[The enhancement of the skill Great Devil’s Heart (???) has reached its limit.]
[The enhancement of the skill True Blood (???) has reached its limit. The limit has been reached.]
Kiiiii-.
Kaaaa-.
The two magic stones absorbed Mephisto’s power as if screaming.
The absorbed magical power was delivered to Gilfer through Taehyun’s magic stone.
But even though the speed was slow, it was too slow.
If things continued like this, it seemed like Gilpere would lose more magic power than he would gain.
‘That Mephisto guy. ‘You’ve done the right thing.’
Taehyun clicked his tongue and released purple magical power.
Tsuzzzzzzzz.
Behind Taehyun’s back, tentacles began to take shape one by one, and the number quickly reached ten.
Mephisto’s magic, absorbed into each tentacle, was overflowing.
[Now wait….]
“It will sting.”
Puff poop poop.
[Coughing….]
It took a moment for Gilfer, who was pierced by ten tentacles, to vomit blood.
Mephisto’s magic power was flowing into the dug-in tentacles.
It was a much higher level of power compared to the ancient times when he had power.
Even though Gilfer has regained his ancient body, there is no way that there will be no pain in accepting such power.
The limbs, horns, and wings were repeatedly exploding and regenerating, reorganizing themselves into a more solid body.
As I persevered, a huge amount of magical energy was building up every moment.
From the side, Typhon watched the scene with envy.
“Not yet!!”
Taehyun, who was concentrating on mana control, suddenly plunged a demon claw into Mephisto’s chest.
and.
Kwaduk!!!
A magic stone was pulled out in Taehyeon’s hand.
The light, which still contained considerable power, was so bright that I had an instinctive desire to devour it using predation.
‘This is not mine.’
The benefit gained from strengthening Gilfer’s power is greater than the benefit gained from Taehyun’s predation.
It was difficult to covet something small and miss out on something big.
He shook his head and shoved the magic stone straight into Gilfer.
Kiiiiii-.
Kiiiiing-.
The two magic stones resonated and made a roaring sound.
The existing magic stone and the new magic stone began to collide.
If you can’t completely control the new magic stone.
‘It will be consumed by Mephisto’s thoughts.’
[Ugh….]
Gilper, who was barely able to control the magical power transmitted through the chains and tentacles, showed symptoms of reflux.
“There is still a long way to go.”
Taehyun pulled out the dragon slayer sword and cut off Mephisto’s horns and tail.
Absorbed all the magic felt there and created a new magic stone.
It wasn’t difficult since I had already tested it with Yoo Ah-young.
And if she made it through.
‘There’s no way Gilpere can’t do it.’
Crumble.
This is when the compressed and condensed magicite eventually took on a small shape.
Phew.
Taehyun inserted a new stone into the spot next to where he had inserted Mephisto’s magic stone.
Gilper, who had been bent to the waist, continued to pour out blood.
How eerie that sight is.
[Oh my…]
[Oh my God…]
[What on earth did I do wrong…]
Typhon and the giants who were watching shook their heads.
[Brother. Then, I was able to catch the Great Devil…]
Erebos, who had worked with her a few times, tried to stop Taehyeon.
“Don’t interrupt. “Just keep quiet and watch.”
Taehyun said, concentrating on infusing a little more of Mephisto’s magic power.
And just in time.
Changes began to occur in Gilper’s body.
* * *
The changes in Gilpere’s body were evident.
‘Evolution.’
However, getting to that stage seemed far away.
The magic power steeped in power is forcibly injected into a body that has always had limitations after losing its power, and is eating away at the body.
It’s no longer possible.
Gilper thought so.
“can do.”
Taehyun’s voice was heard from somewhere.
Concentrate your mind and focus on controlling each type of magical power.
If Mephisto did it, he can do it too.
They say that if you give up here, there will be no reason to give up the power of desire.
Even though it’s such an obvious statement, why does my heart beat so much?
Gilper once again grabbed hold of the enormous magical power he was trying to let go.
I felt it.
Mephisto’s power ‘Soul’.
Gorper’s power ‘Desire’.
Beelzebub’s power ‘poison’.
Diablo’s power ‘Fear’.
Rosaria’s power, ‘Mental Control’.
and.
The power of the king that devours all this power.
No, Kim Tae-hyun’s power ‘predation’.
Kwaduk!!
The sound of something breaking inside Gilper was heard.
It was an epiphany and a harbinger of evolution.
Mephisto is a man who briefly possessed the three powers and achieved the enlightenment of evolution.
It was not difficult to recall the power that had been forgotten due to the magical power forcibly injected by Taehyun.
Her body was covered with magic of all colors.
The magical powers that were tangled up and keeping each other in check repeatedly mixed and dispersed.
If Taehyun had not dragged her into the world of images or personal space, she would have eventually disappeared without being able to overcome the backflow of magical power.
The three magic stones that were constantly clashing began to calm down little by little.
At some point, I could see that the magic power flowing through her body was unified.
I opened my eyes to
see Taehyun smiling with a tired face.
[Finally.]
Gilpere unleashed dark blue magic power.
Together with Gorper, he was born with the power of desire, but had to lose it.
And now.
I was able to recognize that a new power had arisen to replace my desires.
The name of power is.
[Evolution.]
It was a power worthy of someone who had degenerated, but regained his original power and achieved the rank of Grand Duke.
“Is this the birth of a new demon king?”
Unlike Mephisto, Gilpere’s magic power did not feel the slightest fluctuation.
In that short period of time, all of the magical power in my body was melted into my own.
Just as the Underworld King made Rosaria a grand duke.
Taehyeon also led Gilpere to a new path.
That’s it.
[Kim Tae-hyun. [Bonma’s brother.]
Gilper, who had completely calmed down before he knew it, looked at Taehyeon with even deeper red eyes.
[I am truly grateful to you.]
After saying that, Gilper opened his magic power.
Tiring.
[The mastery of the skill ‘Great Demonization (???)’ has increased.]
[The mastery of the skill ‘Heart of the Great Demon (???)’ has increased.]
I hope you are satisfied with the messages that keep coming up for a moment.
Gilper lifted his ugly fingernails.
“…?”
[If you got help, shouldn’t you repay it?]
Before Taehyun could say anything.
Phew.
Gilpere’s thorn pierced Taehyun’s chest.
and.
Tiring.
[‘Great power’ pledges obedience.]
[A pact of summoning has been made with ‘Great Demon Gilfer’.]
[Summoning skill Gilfer (???) has been registered.]
[Skill ‘Omen of Evolution ( ???)’ has been registered.]
For a moment, Taehyun was reminded of new possibilities as the messages kept appearing.
“Can you take it out now?”
Taehyun said, pointing to Gilpere’s thorns that were still stuck.
[Because I don’t think the intention has been conveyed sufficiently yet.]
What does it feel like when you get stabbed yourself?
Gilper asked with full of selfishness.
Taehyun looked away, saying he didn’t know what he was talking about.
at that time.
“Ugh… Ugh…”
Ryusbo groaned as he came to his senses.
“At least the bowl looks fine.”
It looked truly pitiful to see Diablo losing his power.
[The main demon will take care of it.]
It is said to be a body containing fragments of Diablo.
He said that if it is not properly dealt with, problems may arise.
Those words reminded Taehyun of an idea.
“The fact that he can cause trouble means he’s still useful, right?”
[….]
[….]
Looking at Liu Shibo moaning, not knowing how my fate will change in the future.
Smirk.
Taehyun smiled.
* * *
[Mephisto’s news is late.]
Mammon openly showed his discomfort.
Whether the battle was won or lost.
There should have been some communication from Mephisto by now.
[Please wait a little longer.]
Mamon tried to calm his emotions after hearing his subordinate’s words.
The reports that came in afterward were all unsatisfactory.
It has been confirmed that the great evils that crossed over to Earth, starting with Zordiak, have disappeared.
The magic connected to Diablo’s horn has completely disappeared.
[It is said that Asura, who was fighting Lucifer’s army, was defeated due to Igmun’s intervention.]
[….]
[It is said that Hazard awoke from hibernation.]
[It seems that Rosaria contacted Hazard. Traces of battle were found in the area.]
[….]
How can the situation go so badly?
At this point, I couldn’t help but think again about the curse of the divine beast.
[Has even Geary Hazard woke up?]
This is the moment when Mammon muttered that.
[Mamon. A person named Ryusbo came to visit. It is said to be a messenger from Mephisto.]
Mamon frowned at the unexpected messenger.
Something didn’t feel right.
[Drag him.]
After a while, Mamon faced Ryusbo and frowned once again.
It was surprising that Liu Shibo, who was supposed to be on Earth, was here, but his appearance was unbelievable.
[Why are you here?]
Liu Shibo’s eyes were strange.
It felt like I was under Rosaria’s mental control.
However, Rosaria said a little while ago that she was with Hazard.
“Mamon.”
[….]
The voice that came from Liu Shibo’s mouth cleared up my complicated thoughts.
[Kim Tae-hyun.]
He chewed and spit out the name of the man who was controlling Liu Shibo’s body.
“Mephisto has disappeared.”
[…!!]
“I also have Diablo’s horns.”
[…!!]
Mamon growled involuntarily as it reminded him of Rosaria’s appearance a few days ago.
“Do you even know how to make that kind of expression?”
[…Say what you want.]
“It’s simple.”
Taehyun stated the conditions and Mamon was furious.
