Part 2 Episode 28
“Tsurara. grow.”
Shinji Nakata waited for an answer in front of the saint’s barracks.
After a while, a haggard-looking saint opened the door.
“Shinji…?”
“I’m going in.”
He went in without even having time to hear an answer and closed the door to the barracks.
“Why at this time…”
It was a visit that was not like the Shinji Nakata she knew.
“Don’t be surprised. “I am by your side.”
“What….”
There was something in front of her that she had no idea about.
Ssssss
Taehyun came out of hiding.
“evil…!!”
The saintess screamed and took a step back.
Even at a glance, it seemed like he was afraid of Taehyun.
Shinji Nakata watched the scene with a stern expression.
“You’re definitely not crazy.”
“Watch your mouth. “I could cut your head off right now.”
Shinji Nakata said, calming her down.
“I will keep this in mind… but it is true that the saint is not in her right mind.”
“Don’t test my patience.”
It’s a disaster.
Demonic energy rose from Nakata Shinji’s body.
‘That’s creepy.’
He put his magic into living.
It was a power worthy of being called a national power level.
“Shinji… why… why…”
Hiccup.
The madness is everywhere and he is so embarrassed that he can’t even make eye contact.
‘It’s worse than I thought.’
past. Taehyeon himself once made a saint obey.
A battle of strength and power.
In the end, I was able to win only by taking out the card called Predation, but it did not instill the same fear as now.
‘Dopple guy. ‘You engraved it very well.’
To make someone submit by imprinting fear in them to the point where their mind is broken.
Taehyun didn’t know that this was the doppelganger’s preferred method.
“Okay then, let’s get started.”
“What what…”
“The demon sword said he would take care of the demon staying inside me.”
He has already signed the Awakened Oath in his barracks.
“Shi Shinji… no…”
“Don’t worry. “No harm will come to you.”
“No… no… that guy is you too…”
Tuk.
A saint fainted at Shinji Nakata’s capital.
He took out a scroll from his arms.
“This is a scroll where Tsurara’s skills are stored.”
“Is there something like that?”
You turned an S-rank mind control skill into a scroll.
If this fact were to become known, it would send ripples through the world.
“It begins.”
Jjiik-.
The scroll was torn apart and white magic enveloped the three of them.
Tiring.
[Specific to skill Holy Revelation (S).]
[Mysterious power intervenes.]
[Mysterious power does not resist.]
[Skill Holy Revelation (S) penetrates.] Since
there is no predation, mental skills It hits easily.
Taehyun did not refuse and accepted the magic power.
Wow.
Let’s open our eyes.
Ugh.
A huge maw was visible.
The saintess screamed.
He swung his sword.
Taehyun quietly crossed his arms.
Suddenly.
The mouth of the predator was cut off by the sword swung by Shinji Nakata.
[What are we going to do?]
The doppelganger sitting on the throne beyond the cut-off Predation asked.
“I brought a guest.”
The doppelganger’s gaze saw the demon sword and the trembling saintess behind it.
“Yoshikawa Tsurara. Common name saint. “I want her back to her original state.”
A saint is an essential force to climb the tower.
He expressed his position that it would be difficult if he was not in his right mind like he is now.
[I refuse.]
The corner of the doppelganger’s mouth twisted.
[I am the prey that I devoured.]
Kyaang!!
“…!!”
In the blink of an eye, the swung Byakuya was blocked by the doppelganger’s index finger.
Step by step.
The doppelganger’s index finger competed with Byakuya as if it were a blade.
[What. This guy.]
“I’m embarrassed to ask you with my bare mouth.”
The ghost sword ground his teeth at the natural conversation between Taehyun and his doppelganger.
“also. “Was it a loss?”
“Do you look like I’m in the same company as that bad-tempered guy?”
Taehyun’s tone naturally changed into a lower tone.
This is because here you no longer need to worry about what others think.
“Don’t talk nonsense. “You too will be dealt with soon.”
“Devil sword. “The awakened people’s oath is still valid.”
Taehyun pointed at his doppelganger and pretended to slit his throat.
[….]
“….”
“If you want to return the saint to the way it was, just catch that guy. “I didn’t lie or anything.”
If it had been a lie, the Awakened’s oath would have become a bondage and sanctions would have been imposed on Taehyeon.
“I thought about trying to have a nice conversation, but as you can see, he’s a rough guy. “We will negotiate the conditions for saving the saint, so show off your skills for a moment.”
Taehyun looked at his doppelganger.
“Wouldn’t it be better for you to have a strong fighting ability?”
[Don’t use your tongue. I don’t think you know what your intentions are.]
He mentioned the names of Lucifer and Rosaria.
[The power of the Archduke. That bug’s skills are related to those. In comparison.]
The doppelganger looked at the demon sword that was glaring at me.
[This guy is one guy at best. Even if they say they are strong, they are only among bugs.]
The demon sword’s fighting spirit became even stronger at the remark calling itself a bug.
The ghostly spirit symbolizing him shimmered like a haze.
[Don’t show your teeth carelessly.]
Oh my.
“…!!”
Before I had time to react, the maw beneath my feet swallowed the demon sword.
‘It’s not an attack aircraft… It’s a barrier.’
“Your strength has come back quite a bit?”
[It’s thanks to you making magic stones here.]
‘I was able to recover this much strength at only a B grade. After all, the growth of power is incomparable to that of a mortal body.’
Tae-hyun also has a dream, but if he fights him now, it will only be a war of attrition.
[so. I guess I didn’t think they would welcome me just because I brought a toy.]
The doppelganger’s finger twitched.
It meant that if he didn’t like it, he would prey on Taehyun as well.
“If I were to occupy this body now, would I be able to use it properly?”
Currently, Taehyeon’s body is at the level of a B-class awakened person without the use of ancient martial arts and magic stones.
“The winner is after all the princes have been defeated.”
At that time, you will also be able to fight against your doppelganger.
“And the ghost sword.”
Taehyun opened his mouth as he looked at the ghost sword that was still trapped in the barrier of predation.
“You probably don’t know how useful that guy is.”
The current Taehyun can imitate all the skills of the three thousand worlds.
The same goes for the doppelganger who reads Taehyun’s memories.
in other words.
“That guy’s existence touches Igmun.”
Ghost Sword’s S-rank skill ‘Soul Taker’.
The magical power of the cut down monster is used to strengthen one’s physical abilities.
Lucifer and Rosaria.
A saint in contact with two grand dukes.
Vampire Lord Igmun.
Although it is only one person, it is a ghost sword that is in contact with the Archduke who can directly help the current guy.
It is obvious which one will be more helpful.
The proof was that the ghost sword was not killed at once, but was confined in a barrier.
“Don’t pretend otherwise. “I have a pretty good understanding of your personality.”
[It’s annoying….]
“Dopple. “You too.”
[Don’t call me friendly.]
Taehyun shrugged.
“Either way, what we need here is clear.”
Taehyeon uses the saint to climb the mountain and increase his strength.
The doppelganger uses the ghost sword to increase its strength.
This was possible because both parties had confidence that they could surpass each other’s strengths.
“So don’t act for nothing.”
The doppelganger burst into laughter at Taehyun’s words.
[I accept it.]
When the doppelganger snapped his fingers, a chain wrapped around the trembling body of the saint.
at that time.
Kyaang!!
The ghost sword that cut through the veil of predation appeared with a vicious and murderous appearance.
By absorbing the power of predation, it was spewing out unprecedented power.
[This exceeded my expectations.]
The doppelganger snapped his fingers as if satisfied.
The continuously created maw attacked and the demon sword continued to cut away.
Every time that happened, the presence of the ghost sword became stronger.
And geary.
Phew.
The demon sword pierced the doppelganger’s neck.
[….]
The doppelganger’s mouth was smiling.
Crack.
The soaring maw swallowed the demon sword.
“…!!”
Even though the ghost sword was screaming in pain, it did not let go of its grip on the sword.
[It’s still too much for you.]
Quad Deuk!!
Another maw ripped off my arm.
The guy pulled out the sword stuck in my neck and swung it.
Suddenly.
The head of the ghost sword was cut off so easily that it seemed like nothing.
[That bug had a taste for being a tormentor. It’s a shame.]
“Can we say the negotiations worked?”
[Do it yourself.]
With those words, the doppelganger disappeared.
“To be shy.”
Taehyun pulled out the dragon slayer sword.
The saintess, who had lost all her magic to the chains, was not able to recover.
“Shinji…”
The sight of him searching for the ghost sword was so heartbreaking.
Suddenly.
Taehyun swung the Dragon Slayer sword without hesitation.
* * *
The arrival of the supply corps led by Park Seong-jin and Masahiko Kimura was as scheduled.
And as originally promised, the joint mission between New Korea and Japan began.
Originally, he had decided to join the New Korea side alone, but he later changed his mind.
It was the first time in the history of the New Korea and Japan that 500 people, including the supply corps, and 7 S-class players, had moved.
“I heard a lot from the president of the association.”
Taehyun nodded as he looked at the man approaching him.
“Nice to meet you. Player Park Seong-jin.”
“They said it wouldn’t be appropriate for your age, but it was true.”
Park Seong-jin also nodded as he calmly accepted his greeting.
‘This is a talent that will become the next national powerhouse.’
Ji Jin-hee praised her until her mouth was dry.
At first, I thought it was an excessive compliment typical of Ji Jin-hee, who is thirsty for talent.
But no.
Kim Tae-hyun, who met him, had eyes that made it hard to believe that he had recently grown to B-grade.
‘I never thought I’d want to draw my sword against a B-class awakened person.’
In my heart, I want to test whether Ji Jin-hee’s words are true or whether my own senses are correct.
Unfortunately, there were too many eyes watching.
He looked at the two national power levels on the Japanese side.
Demon sword and saint.
There is no benefit in showing them the full power of the new Korea.
‘Perform the mission together with the national power level. I’ll have to keep my head strong so I don’t get stabbed in the back.’
Even putting aside the healer-type saint, the demon sword can display as much power as all the Japanese players combined if it puts its mind to it.
If there was a conflict between them, he would have to risk his life to stop it.
It was natural for Park Seong-jin, who had just reached the third floor, but it didn’t take long for him to change his mind.
* * *
A month has passed.
Even though I used my own shortcut, there were quite a few monsters that stuck to me.
and.
“That’s the entrance to the fourth floor.”
Yoo Ah-young pointed to the huge stone statue and said.
It has the head of a humanoid monster and the body of a beast-type monster.
“sphinx. “I’m the gatekeeper from the 3rd to the 4th floor.”
‘Sphinx? I think there was someone similar to him among the Absolute…’
At least, it was a monster that had never been seen in the underworld.
Even though there were monsters in front of them, the players did not prepare much for battle.
Yoo Ah-young whispered into Tae-hyeon’s ear as if to tell him the reason.
“That guy is not hostile to humans.”
‘Aren’t monsters hostile to humans?’
That question is just a moment away.
Soon the statue began to move.
The guy curled up and yawned, as if stretching.
[This is the first time this many people have come to be screened.]
Taehyun was taken aback by the sudden human language.
The Sphinx’s red eyes scanned over five hundred people.
and.
When I made eye contact with Taehyun.
The Sphinx’s face was distorted.
[You cannot pass by.]
