Part 2 Episode 16
“You ungrateful bastard.”
Taehyun grumbled as he looked at his non-regenerating legs and arms.
Predation and dream eating.
It was the result of two secret weapons colliding.
If it were him, he would never have used it so ignorantly, but it is still a radical use of magical power.
“But whatever. “I’m glad you’re alive.”
A smile appeared on Taehyun’s lips.
Even if it is destroyed, the doppelganger in the world of images is frighteningly strong.
The method of using magical power is unstoppable, and the overwhelming predation that comes from arrogance is also just as I remembered.
If Taehyun didn’t have the Mongsik card, his body would have been taken away without a move.
‘Thank you for being alive, Doppel.’
A faint smile appeared on his lips.
Just as they were unable to compete properly with their doppelgängers before becoming unified kings, they will stimulate each other and grow together this time as well.
“By the way…”
I looked around.
You are the only living thing in the vast desert.
There is a high probability that the body that has been taken over by the doppelgänger is causing chaos by now.
‘Even if I did, I wouldn’t be able to use my power properly.’
Predation can only be used in the world of images, but the moment it goes outside, it is subject to the same restrictions as Taehyun.
You probably don’t know that if you overdo it like that, your body will be permanently damaged.
‘I’m sure he wouldn’t do such a foolish thing.’
I remembered Bang Chae-soo, who belatedly said that he could handle his excessive drinking.
The magic tools he possesses will not be able to handle the remnants of predation.
‘Well… I’m sure the president of the association and guild leader Yoo Ah-young will do their best to stop it.’
No matter how much the doppelganger flies and crawls in Taehyun’s body, it is at the level of a mortal.
If Ji Jin-hee and Yoo Ah-young show off their full power, they will somehow be able to buy time.
Of course, this was also based on the assumption that the doppelganger would not overdo it, but I wondered if there was any reason to overdo it.
The situation outside is left to the two of you.
“then. “Let’s start working here too.”
Taehyun struggled to get up and crossed his legs in the middle of the desert.
A dream has the effect of invading the other person’s mental world.
Just as the doppelganger’s predation took Taehyun’s limbs one by one, Taehyun also regained some of his control over the world of images.
‘Dopple. ‘You still have a long way to go.’
The world of imagery is a place where one can maximize one’s existence through mental power rather than the physical body.
It can be said to be a good training place for Taehyeon, who just happened to become mortal.
Each limb is empty, making it difficult to maintain balance.
Still, after rolling around a few times, it became roughly similar to sitting cross-legged.
I tried circulating the magic power in that state.
Tsuzzzzzz.
A small amount of magical power gathers.
Even the reverberations that were scattered due to the collision of predation and dreaming a moment ago are completely absorbed.
next.
I worked on concentrating magical energy around my chest.
Hwii-.
I can hear the wind.
This is because magical energy is swirling around Taehyun.
How much more focused would you have been?
Right next to the heart.
Kiiiii –
A magic stone the size of a fingernail was created.
Although it is small in size and has an unsightly durability.
“not bad.”
You shouldn’t expect much from the beginning.
If only the amount of magical power increased and the body was trained a little more.
‘You can also imitate the powers of the great dukes using magic stones.’
The authority of the Nine Great Dukes, which can be said to be the pinnacle of all skills except predation.
Kiiiii- Kiiiii-.
The sound of a magic stone the size of a fingernail rotating makes my head pound.
As the magic stone accelerates, the blood and magic power of the whole body boils and the heart beats.
“Huuuu…”
Taehyun breathed out and felt the magical power flowing through his body.
Grade B by human standards.
My physical ability, which was at D level when I entered the world of imagery, has risen to a fairly high level.
‘This is the limit for now.’
If you become more greedy, the magic gemstone you worked so hard to create will not be able to handle it and will crack.
‘Let’s try to change it little by little.’
Sssss. Ssssss.
Taehyun’s eyes turned red.
This alone shares the doppelganger’s field of vision and allows you to see the outside world.
Yoo Ah-young and Ji Jin-hee were out of breath.
‘also. ‘It has potential.’
Although they may have had help from Taehyun, they were previously at the level of anti-aircraft contractors.
It was waging a plausible battle against a doppelganger using a deteriorated maw that could no longer be called a predator.
Taehyeon’s body rolled around every time Yoo Ah-young’s huge body hit with his skills and Ji Jin-hee’s ancient martial arts hit.
To be exact, the doppelganger in Taehyun’s body was rolling around.
“Oh my gosh, Doppel.”
Taehyun clicked his tongue and shook his head.
Still, it was quite admirable to see them using the curtain to minimize the impact.
He is handling his horsepower nervously, as if he is annoyed by the lower-than-expected output.
You can clearly see that he is shaking in a state of his body that is incomparable to the second time.
‘You two are doing for me what I couldn’t do.’
If it weren’t for his body, he would have applauded at least.
That’s it.
Tiring.
[The ‘Tower Manager’ demands that the action be stopped immediately.]
[The ‘Tower Manager’ says that it would be difficult to do this.] A
now familiar message appeared in Taehyeon’s field of vision.
The message that is emerging from the doppelgänger is being shared.
Tower manager.
A guy whose true identity is unknown even to players in the current world.
‘I need to meet this guy as soon as possible.’
If Taehyeon’s thoughts are correct, the tower was made with the divine beast of Middle-earth as a pillar.
If you manage such a divine beast, it would be safe to say that you are at least on the same level as the Elven of the past.
If you lose weight, it becomes tiring in many ways as you prepare for the lantern tower.
‘They said the tower is built the same way all over the world… so maybe we can get an answer to the twisted timeline.’
If we can return the twisted timeline to its original state, we can seek to elevate ourselves to the status of a constellation that we had previously aimed for.
‘Twelve zodiac signs. If we meet again, it won’t end with just a few hits.’
The reason for using the powers of the zodiac to return.
This is to regain leadership in the constellation war by becoming at least a high-level constellation.
Taehyun’s goal was to become a high-level constellation and return to the Constellation War.
For some reason, the Demon King failed, but the dragon that shares the same universe did it, so Taehyeon would not be impossible.
‘Wait, dragon. When I get back, I’ll kill you half first.’
Taehyun gritted his teeth, recalling the arrogant face of the dragon who betrayed his comrade.
If only he could survive in the current timeline and thus contact the Chinese zodiac.
‘Extinct constellations can be revived.’
I will somehow regain my original power.
It was a time when Taehyun was gathering his will alone.
As if he didn’t like the doppelganger in his field of vision, he started to forcibly create a predatory maw.
This is not a simple imitation that has been degraded like before.
‘That crazy guy…!!’
Taehyun’s vision turned red.
This is because the body outside is shedding tears of blood.
‘If I leave it any longer, I’ll get into an accident.’
Taehyun concentrated his mind to regain control of his body.
The intention is to regain ownership of the body the moment the doppelganger becomes exhausted and loses mental strength.
however.
[The ‘Tower Manager’ says the conditions for granting a penalty have been completed.]
[The ‘Tower Manager’ warns you not to blame yourself.]
[Skill ‘Pandora’s Box(?)’ has been registered.]
[Skill ‘Pandora’s Box(?)’ is activated.] An
unexpected message appeared in the shared vision.
What is a penalty and what is Pandora’s box?
The doppelganger’s angry feelings were shared as if he was the only one who was embarrassed.
There has also been a change in the world of imagery.
A box emitting light was created in front of Taehyun’s eyes.
“What is this…”
The brilliance emanating from the box is quickly absorbing the magical power of the world of images.
At the same time, the magic power stored in the magic stone is rapidly draining away.
How did you achieve this?
Taehyun stretched out his hand towards Gwanghwi.
The intention is to swallow it up in a dream.
At the same time.
[The unique skill Predation(?) has been activated.]
[The ‘Tower Manager’ is astonished.]
[Skill ‘Pandora’s Box(?)’ has been strengthened.]
[Warning. A penalty is given.]
[The awakening level is….]
A new message was seen in the shared gaze.
‘Did you use… predation?’
The sealed predation was activated in the form of a skill, and the maw opened.
Warning messages from the tower manager appeared one after another.
Crack.
A ‘border’ was visible beyond the maw that bit into the air.
‘This is…’
The boundary of the three thousand worlds.
It is a place that only those who control the Divine Beast can reach.
‘Why is this…’
[Get it right, Kim Tae-hyun.]
The doppelganger’s voice rang in my head.
[Three thousand worlds. [The one who rises to the top of the constellations is
‘me.’
After saying those words, my vision darkened.
Consciousness becomes blurred.
The last thing that appeared in Taehyun’s vision was the faces of Ji Jin-hee and Yoo Ah-young, who were shocked at the sight of the divided space.
* * *
I woke up to a pain that felt like my head was going to explode.
My last memory comes to mind before I lose consciousness.
The doppelganger paid no heed to the message sent by the tower manager and activated predation to show the boundaries of the Three Thousand Worlds.
The guy’s intentions are clear.
It probably means don’t act like a fool.
‘Dopple, this bastard… Even so, if you forcefully use predation like that…’
I tried to move my body with that thought in mind.
Sigh.
‘Chrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrsk…?’
I turned my head when I felt a heavy feeling in my arms and legs.
“….”
Taehyun was speechless after confirming the reason.
This is because several layers of chains of restraint are wrapped around the body.
It was not difficult to guess the cause of the current situation.
This may be because the doppelganger’s behavior went too far and the association took action.
‘I’m going to turn.’
I thought we had created a trusting relationship, but here we are again.
It is difficult to channel magical power due to the influence of the chain.
Even if we put off the possibility of breaking the chains.
‘If you forcefully remove the chain here, it will raise even more suspicion.’
This time, I might really be tortured by Go Tae-wook.
ha.
Taehyun let out a small breath and opened the status window.
Name: Taehyun
Kim Age: ???
Grade: B
Title: Fallen Man of the Three Thousand Worlds
[Unique Skill]
Predation (?) – Cannot be used
Dream Food (?) – Cannot be used
Pandora’s Box (?) – Cannot be used
‘What a ridiculous status window. ‘Aren’t physical abilities indicated separately?’
For an update that lost the trust it had built up, it is a boring result.
At least it was encouraging that the awakening grade grew to B.
In addition, titles were created, and ‘Dream Sick’ and ‘Pandora’s Box’ were registered as skills.
‘The downfall of the three thousand worlds…. It would be perfect to make fun of other guys if they see it.’
Extinct fellow constellations.
This is when Taehyun thinks of people with different personalities.
Tiring.
A new message appeared in my mind.
[The ‘Tower Manager’ proposes a quest to the ‘Three Thousand Worlds Fallen’.]
The Tower Manager.
It’s that guy again.
‘What kind of trick are you planning to pull again this time?’
Taehyun kept his mouth shut and waited for the guy’s next reaction.
[The ‘Tower Manager’ complains that he can’t help if it continues like this.]
“What…?”
[The ‘Tower Manager’ begs you to trust him.]
‘….’
[The ‘Tower Manager’ bursts into tears.]
The Tower Manager.
This bastard.
‘what…?’
A long time. A mysterious being whose identity no one has discovered.
It’s not enough for a guy like that to beg you to trust him… he bursts into tears?
It is a time when you have no idea how to react to an unexpected message.
[The ‘tower manager’ sobs that he has never forgotten his ‘brother’ for a day.]
“…!!”
I felt like I got hit in the head with a hammer by the word brother.
A name passed through Taehyun’s mind.
“You…no way…”
