Episode 499:
When Taehyun crossed the gate, he found himself inside the dream demon’s castle.
‘Elven guy. Why didn’t you send me to Rosaria’s side right away?’
She has assimilated with Shinsu and knows the coordinates of most of the underworld.
No matter how tired I was, I never thought I would have made a mistake.
So it’s probably one of two things.
I wish Taehyun’s walk had taken a little longer.
‘There were more things to worry about than moving me.’
When it comes to the realm of the fairies, there are only Taehyun and Tolkien.
What’s there to worry about?
That’s when I was thinking about that.
[Crackling. He is human.]
[Karrrrrr. This is Kim Tae-hyun.]
[I guess I’ve come to visit the queen~ Cry rrr.]
[Crrr. Karrrrr. Now, is that person also an archduke?]
[Can we say that a person who has made a contract with all archdukes is an archduke~ Cry.] The
familiar sound of laughter made me smile.
Be it the first time or now.
“You guys are still the same.”
What about Rosaria?
In response to Taehyun’s question, one of the highest-ranking species stepped forward.
It seemed like he was the most senior of the succubi surrounding him.
[Nice to meet you, Taehyun Kim.]
“And you?”
[I am a lowly servant who has been selected as a new member of the queen’s household. I will guide you to Rosaria.] I
followed her, who claimed to be my guide, to Rosaria’s residence.
It was quite a distance to the inside of the castle, and succubi and grand succubi appeared from various places and were chatting among themselves.
‘Did another new person come in in the meantime?’
The Archduke’s presence also affects his surroundings.
Therefore, Rosaria, whose power was weak, kept low-level succubi by her side, raised them, and distributed them throughout her territory to strengthen her power.
It could not be denied that it was an efficient strategy because it was an individual that could reproduce through dreams alone without any special mating.
‘Of course, that’s possible assuming her condition is normal.’
The current fallen Rosaria would not have had much influence on them.
[If you feel uncomfortable, we will bite everyone.]
The guide asked in a nervous voice.
At some point, Taehyeon moved directly to Rosaria’s residence.
Therefore, unlike before, individuals who had just grown up only heard of him through rumors, without the opportunity to talk to him.
Although rumors tend to be exaggerated.
Even taking that into account, they were all legendary.
He invaded the castle alone and made a contract with the Succubus Queen.
He defeated Erebos, who was leading the giants at the time, and led the battle to victory.
Resurrect the Giant King and the Fairy King and force them to make a contract.
In addition, he is a human who has made contracts with all of the other Grand Dukes.
The strongest contractor who revived the demon tribe, which was the weakest among the archduke’s forces, along with the fallen giant tribe.
In particular, the subjugation of the succubus Fairy Muron, who could be said to be the queen’s confidant, was a famous anecdote among the highest species.
She was one of the strongest of the Dream Demon tribe at the time, and has now grown into a Grand Succubus Fairy and leads many Succubus Fairies.
Expectations and envy.
Those emotions were in the enemy’s eyes.
“it’s okay. “It’s not like it wears out just because you look at it.”
Taehyun spoke indifferently and hurried on his way.
‘Is he the queen’s contractor?’ or ‘Is he the last archduke who ended the turf war?’
Each one was followed by red eyes mixed with admiration and anticipation.
‘Okay, a lot of people are looking at me.’
Tsuzzzzzz.
very little.
Purple magic flowed into the surroundings.
[Carrrr!!! It’s purple!!]
[That’s ridiculous!! Caught.]
[Caught. The same level as the queen?!!]
The dream demons who sensed Taehyeon’s presence made a fuss here and there.
Even if it is downgraded, it is an existential power that even the highest species cannot reach.
Even the guide in front of me could be seen with the naked eye shaking.
Those who are exposed to Taehyun’s magic here today will grow faster.
Strengthening Rosaria’s power is no different from strengthening one’s own power.
Even though Taehyun was downgraded to SSS level, he still poured out his magic power.
‘Eat a lot and grow quickly.’
Cough.
Brother, I’m dying.
Crackling.
Intense moans erupted from everywhere.
“The number of individuals has increased a lot while we haven’t seen each other?”
Taehyun asked, ignoring the dreams of the demons.
The guide, who had achieved the highest rank, let out a heavy breath and turned his head.
This is because the dream demon’s true nature is having a hard time suppressing its attempts to awaken due to the harsh force of existence.
[On the outskirts of the castle… ugh… these are the new guys we brought in… not long ago… haha… I grew up and took on the role of guide to the castle…]
Maybe I’m being presumptuous and attacking them. Should I do it?
I nodded, looking at the guide who dared not make eye contact.
‘It’s growth.’
A guide to the highest species.
I looked at the appearance of the Grand Succubus Knight.
The level of monsters set by players will be around SSS.
It is slightly inferior to Muron, who stayed in the Succubus Fairy in the past.
Even so, you grew up recently.
To have the highest-ranking species, which was only a small number, serve as the castle’s guide.
‘That Rosaria guy. My power has increased a lot without me knowing.’
“How many of the highest-ranking species guard the castle?”
The guide was silent for a moment at the sudden question.
It’s being evaluated.
Is it okay to tell confidential information to the man in front of me?
The thought didn’t last long.
In any case, he is the master’s contractor and the strongest archduke who ended the turf war.
If I were found out by telling a lie, I wouldn’t be able to handle it.
[…Thirty top species, including me, are stationed there.]
“Thirty…”
Even considering that Rosaria, who has been reduced to the level of the highest species, is having a hard time protecting herself.
It was an excessively large number.
I realized that Rosaria’s condition was more serious than I thought.
‘Is it possible to collect the top species that can be counted by hand to this extent?’
Just confirming that was worth the effort.
[This way.]
An hour had passed by the time the guide passed several illusion barriers and reached the destination.
The guide bowed his head in front of the huge door.
[Queen. [The only contractor and benefactor of the Dream Demon tribe visited.]
He was scratching his head, surprised that he was being called by such an unfamiliar name.
Ddddddddd.
The huge door opened little by little.
[Please go in.]
“Okay, thank you for the guidance.”
[It’s an honor…!!]
I watched the guide disappear in a hurry with a blush on his face and entered the door.
A space that can accommodate hundreds of people.
Supplies of Igmun, Orgal, and Typhon were displayed around the throne symbolizing the queen’s authority.
“Rosaria. “This level of hallucination doesn’t work for me anymore.”
Tiring.
[Skill Dream King’s Eyes (SSS) has been activated.]
The red eyes became even darker, and a flow of purple magic power was seen spreading throughout the space.
This is the moment when I recognized and understood the flow.
Damn it.
The illusion shattered with a crack.
What was revealed was Rosaria sitting on the throne with a tired expression.
[The main woman’s hallucinations like this don’t even buy time.]
“….”
Unlike her, who faced her with a smile, Taehyun’s expression hardened.
This is because Rosaria’s presence is poor.
‘It’s worse than the last time I saw it.’
It seemed like he didn’t even have the strength to restore his own existence.
Even Taehyun, who was downgraded to SSS, feels that way.
The weakness felt by the person involved must be more than that.
[There’s no need to make that face. Isn’t this something that can be resolved once the contractor regains his power?]
“Tsk.”
I frowned involuntarily at the casual way he spoke.
The final battle in the world of images.
This is because he was the one who forcibly brought her down there.
He might be a little angry.
Rosaria still greeted him with a benevolent face.
[It looks like the contractor hasn’t regained his strength yet. What happened to the main woman’s castle?]
“The elven told me to come get some air.”
[Hmm. In that case, there are only Tolkien and the Elven in the fairy realm.]
“Don’t worry. I’ve said enough to the Elven. “She’s not stupid enough to touch an important power in the lower world.”
Rosaria burst into laughter at Taehyun’s words.
[The charm of a contractor is that he can be somewhat absent-minded at times.]
“…?”
[Well, it’s not that important. So, did you fully see the newly renovated castle?]
“I saw a lot of people I hadn’t seen before. “It seems like we’ve brought in quite a few top-tier species as well.”
[Muria. [You heard it from that child.]
The name of the highest species that was in charge of guiding the route was Muria.
She confirmed.
[Compared to the past, the main lady now has many top-ranking servants. Isn’t this all thanks to having a good contractor?]
The weakest of the great warlords.
She, who had such a label, is now forming a force that rivals other archdukes.
Of course, it doesn’t mean much until she, the queen, finally regains her power.
[Has the memory still not returned?]
Taehyun shook his head.
I received a lot of information from Noname in a place called the remnants of the world of images, but I couldn’t remember much of it right now.
This is because it has fallen and sorcery is in effect.
Nevertheless.
‘The King of the Underworld is dead.’
I remembered those words clearly.
‘It’s better not to tell this.’
What if Rosaria, who follows the Underworld King more than anyone else, finds out about it.
‘You don’t know what kind of behavior they will show.’
Although he is the most dear of the archdukes, it would be best to avoid variables if possible.
“I plan to look for the Underworld King as soon as my strength is restored. “I can’t just intrude into the upper world, so I’ll have to talk to Lucifer.”
[Lucifer… It won’t be easy. Isn’t the spell still being applied?]
“Yes.”
I know that even if I go to Lucifer, I won’t get a detailed explanation.
This is because the Grand Dukes were downgraded and the ban became more severe.
“First, I plan to meet the archdukes one by one. Igmun Orgal Jormungand. “These guys can’t be trusted at all.”
They were sent back to recover in their respective areas, but who knows what plans they have next.
We had a light chat.
A few hours passed by just like that.
[Don’t overdo it.]
“I think that’s what I should say.”
[…It seems like the main girl’s worries are pointless. Where do you plan on going next?]
Taehyun mentioned the territory of the vampires.
[Hmm. It’s because of Igmun. The main woman is not very reluctant. He’s the type of guy who will betray his contractor whenever he gets the chance.]
“There’s no way he’d attack me without going crazy, right?”
[Even so, you must not let your guard down.]
At her gesture, the gate opened.
[I heard that the castle is being expanded. I will get stuck and regain my strength.]
I can’t understand what that idiot is thinking.
The sight of Rosaria shaking her head seemed to be an Elven criticizing Tolkien.
[Please be careful.]
With that, I conclude.
Taehyun crossed the gate with the coordinates engraved on Igmun’s territory.
* * *
The deepest layer. The realm of the vampires.
[Master. This is a report that Kim Tae-hyun has appeared near the management area.]
[It’s been a while since you took heavy steps.]
Ig-moon muttered as if he was annoyed.
[Shall I lead you here?]
[Leave it alone. This guy doesn’t know the coordinates of this place. There must be a reason why I came here on my own.]
[I understand. I will give orders to my subordinates.]
Sesssss.
It seemed as if the family had just seeped in and disappeared.
[I hope they don’t resort to modifications.]
Kim Tae-hyun, his new contractor.
Every time I met that guy, I never felt so healthy.
The Vampire Lord, who was defeated and became the highest species, sighed.
