Episode 166
Skill ‘Monarch’s World’, a skill created only for Taehyun by combining ‘Monarch’s Heart’ and ‘Silent World’.
It is a field that increases one’s own abilities and lowers the abilities of monsters, and is a skill that drove Medusa into a corner.
That power was used once again.
Hwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
The entire area was enveloped in darkness.
Taehyun’s red eyes showed the appearance of a basilisk.
He seemed confused at first, but now he seemed more interested.
Even though the ‘monarch’s spirit’ and the ‘monarch’s world’ are weighing down both.
It was different from the flustered Medusa.
‘indeed. ‘Can I endure this much?’
Taehyun gave a small exclamation.
As expected, an easy victory seemed unlikely.
‘Cody Cruz guy. ‘You did a good job catching this guy.’
SS level license award ceremony.
I knew it right then.
At this point, the only person with similar skills to him is Cody Cruz.
From past life to present life.
During Taehyun’s two lives, he was a man who was always called the strongest.
The being that such a man went to great lengths to capture was a basilisk.
I had no intention of catching it easily from the beginning.
[With a bug this strong… it certainly wasn’t enough for Medusa.]
“The guy who took off the undercoat was bluffing.”
Despite Taehyeon’s ridicule, the Basilisk remained steadfast.
[Tell me. Who gave you this power?]
Blue and red eyes scanned Taehyun.
You are reading.
The source of Taehyun’s magical power.
A magic power as ominous as his own.
Not only that, but it also has the red eyes of a higher species.
It’s a combination that you can’t help but be intrigued by.
What kind of mongrel did the Grand Duke take interest in and signed a contract with?
That was what Basilisk was curious about.
Taehyun grinned as he looked at the basilisk.
Since he was showing composure with himself in front of him, I could already see what kind of end he would face.
“You guys only come to your senses when you get hit.”
Tiring.
[Strengthens the skill lord’s spirit (AAA). Magic consumption is accelerated.]
[Unique skill Predation (AAA) has been activated. Specifies the target.]
[The overlapping effects of the skills Monster Eyes (AAA) and Predation (AAA) have been activated.] [
Skill Monster Eyes (AAA) are temporarily transformed into the Eyes of a Higher Species (AAA).]
Is it because the eyes of a higher species have been opened?
I could see the magic flowing through the Basilisk’s body and the two magic stones embedded in its chest.
Taehyun pointed his index finger at one of them.
“Bite.”
Ugh.
A huge maw opened at the basilisk’s feet.
The basilisk, which had been quiet the whole time, wriggled.
The corner of the guy’s mouth rose.
[is it. You swallowed Medusa with this power.]
“Correct answer.”
Kwasik.
The magic of predation consumed the basilisk.
No, that was the moment I thought about it.
The guy’s magic power was boiling over.
Taehyun did not miss that moment because he had the ‘eyes of a higher-ranking species.’
‘Regurgitation? No, that’s…’
That was the moment when I thought the predator had completely swallowed him up.
[It’s an interesting power.]
“…!!”
Taehyun quickly ducked when he heard a voice behind him.
Pow.
“Ugh…”
Even though he still maintains the ‘shadow skin’.
Taehyun’s right arm exploded without strength.
“I didn’t think of this.”
My face suddenly grimaced from the unexpected pain.
He lost an arm, but it was clearly visible.
Moulting.
This was the reason why the guy was able to escape from predation a little while ago.
‘Escape from the monster…’
Unlike Taehyun, who was dumbfounded, the basilisk that had just been punched looked happy.
This is because the joy of trampling on someone who was powerful is no different for humans or monsters.
[It was a fairly plausible attack.]
‘You were complacent.’
Ever since I lost an arm, my magic power has been unstable.
No matter how well-trained your body is.
The proportion of arms in the human body is by no means light.
Center of gravity and balance.
In addition, it was natural for a decline in abilities to follow.
‘First, buy some time.’
Playing with my feet non-stop.
I poured the potion into my mouth.
bang. bang. Quang. Quang.
The space to step into was completely blown out by the Basilisk’s technique.
‘The monarch’s domain’ and ‘The monarch’s mettle’.
It was a possible attack because the skill that was pressing was weakened.
[Don’t run away. It’s a bug.]
The basilisk shed its skin once again.
The moment when I thought his presence had completely disappeared.
Kwaang!!
Taehyun’s left leg exploded.
dump.
Taehyun collapsed awkwardly.
“Tsk…!!”
I instinctively raised my head.
Jerk. Jerk. Jerk. Jerk.
The Basilisk, which had stopped attacking, was approaching.
[I will ask again. Who gave you strength?]
“Haa… haa… it’s tough.”
Taehyun took a deep breath and lifted himself up with his free hand.
The basilisk was already right in front of us.
Nevertheless, he no longer attacked Taehyun.
A margin that only those who have achieved victory can afford.
This guy is already determined to win.
[Come under me. Don’t leave it to me to manage this dungeon.]
“Haha… I’ve been receiving job offers from monsters for a long time… The guy who used to get rid of the bottom…”
The Basilisk’s eyebrows twitched at the word bottom.
I don’t know exactly what it means.
Because it seemed clear that he was mocking himself.
[It’s a shame.]
The basilisk that said that began to grow bigger.
A giant body measuring up to 5 meters long, with scales that are a mixture of blue and red.
Non-humanoid body.
A magical power incomparable to before flowed from the gigantic body.
[I am a being who serves Grand Duke Jormungand. I will punish you severely.]
‘Crazy guy. ‘I just want to eat it.’
Taehyun thought so and checked the magic power level.
It was worth the time gained.
Enough magical energy has been accumulated for the next skill.
[Skill Blood Rush (AAA) has been activated. The body is activated.]
Bright red magical power bloomed, and a familiar message appeared.
[A great power awakens. Muscle strength increases. Strength has increased to 270.]
[Great power is awakened. Stamina increases. Stamina has reached 270.]
[A great power awakens. The speed increases. The speed has become 270.]
[A great power awakens. Magic power increases. Magic power has increased to 350.]
Is this the result of Taehyun’s courage growing?
The limit to ability level increase was higher.
Crack. Quad deuk.
Wow. Wood clatter.
The skill ‘Blood Rush’ has ultra-fast regeneration ability.
Taehyun’s torn limbs were regenerated in an instant.
Kwasik.
Belatedly, the basilisk’s mouth swallowed Taehyun.
After chewing it and putting an end to his life.
I was planning on swallowing it whole.
However.
That’s it.
[…!!]
The Basilisk’s large body flinched as its mouth could not be closed.
Numerous SS-class monsters were torn apart by this power.
The power to withstand such force.
shaking.
“Sigh…”
Taehyun, who had been holding on precariously, threw himself away with all his might.
Kwasik.
The basilisk’s mouth closed belatedly.
Blood-red magic entered his shiny eyes.
[Right. It was Igumoon who gave you strength.]
There was no need to answer that question.
This is because rebirth does not mean that the pain goes away.
Taehyun moved his fully regenerated limbs.
“basilisk. “That would have been the last chance.”
[Mudbloods don’t know the topic.]
“I told you. “I know quite a bit about you.”
Taehyun raised all his remaining magical power.
Quaaaaaaaaa.
The lack of magical power was replaced by absorbing the magical energy that had been scattered earlier.
It was an instant.
The entire area was surrounded by the magical power of satiety.
[…!!]
Pow. Pow.
As soon as the Basilisk caught its eye, a series of explosions belatedly occurred.
Taehyun’s body was already completely protected by the magic of predation.
The basilisk attempted to escape once again.
The idea was to avoid this attack for now.
but.
No matter where I ran, predators were already waiting with their mouths open.
[Nonsense…!!]
“It doesn’t make sense. Me now. “There’s no way you’re weaker than that guy, right?”
Taehyun sighed and approached the guy.
I could see it clearly with the ‘eyes of a higher species.’
The embarrassed guy’s magical power is trembling inside.
[I am the Archduke of Jormungand…!!]
“I am not like the Archduke.”
Taehyun grabbed his hand aimed at the basilisk.
Kwagwagwagwagwagwa.
Like a wolf stalking its prey.
All the magical energy in the area was attached to the basilisk.
“This is the power of the king.”
Quad deuk. Quad deuk.
Kwasik. Kwazizig.
Wood-dud-dud-duk.
It is an SS+ grade monster that received strength from Archduke Jormungand.
A basilisk that dominates two unexplored dungeons.
The body of that great monster began to disintegrate.
* * *
‘Predation’, ‘The Monarch’s World’, ‘The Monarch’s Mettle’, ‘Shadow Skin’, ‘Blood Runaway’, ‘Monarch’s Eyes’.
The skills maintained to deal with the Basilisk were unlocked one by one.
dump.
Taehyun lay down on the floor and exhaled.
Quite a few messages appeared before my blurred eyes.
[You have feasted on a huge being. Strength has increased by 1.]
[You have feasted on a huge being. Stamina has increased by 1.]
[You have feasted on a huge being. Magic power has increased by 1.]
[You have feasted on a huge being. Speed increased by 1.]
….
‘I almost died.’
No matter how much help I received from other SS-rank players.
It was difficult to understand how Cody Cruz caught this guy.
‘Still, the hard work was worth it.’
Even after catching Medusa, the climb didn’t go very far, but this time it was different.
The message announcing the increase in stats was still emerging.
At that time, a shout was heard outside.
When the boss of the double dungeon, Basilisk, died, the monsters began to run away.
Milan and Barcelona.
It was the moment when two unexplored dungeons were conquered.
‘Ha… the union… ‘Maybe not yet.’
Taehyun recalled memories from his past life.
The boss of the unexplored dungeon in Paris is ‘Telichios’.
It was a magician-type SS-rank monster.
As expected, this guy’s power was similar to that of Medusa.
I heard that his ability to move around the dungeon made the raid team quite difficult.
‘It probably took about 10 days.’
The main members are very prominent people.
There would be no major sacrifices in the strategy, but the title of first would be handed over to New Korea.
‘I’m tired.’
I didn’t even have the strength left to drink a bottle of potion.
Rather than that, a rebound was slowly coming from the excessive use of ‘Blood Rush’ and ‘Predation’.
‘It would be embarrassing if someone else showed me my current state…’
While Taehyun was thinking like that.
I heard someone approaching quickly.
“Kim Taehyun…!!”
It was Lim A-young.
‘Ha… Should I say this is fortunate…’
“…!!”
Ayoung was surprised for a moment after checking Taehyun’s condition.
She made eye contact and nodded.
Tiring.
[Skill Ice Age (S) has been activated. Specifies the target.]
Blah blah blah.
She, with a tired expression, froze Taehyun’s arms and legs.
‘Because he’s quick to notice.’
Taehyun was able to close his eyes with a peaceful mind.
