Episode 212:
What is the best skill in the world?
That was a common question in these days when awakened people have become commonplace.
The answers varied depending on the points being targeted.
Those who focused on saving people answered that it was healing or buffing skills.
Those who focused on exploration answered that it was an exploration skill.
So what is the strongest skill?
This time, numerous players provided answers.
A physical skill that can take your life in an instant, depending on your level of proficiency.
A magic-type skill that is evaluated as having the strongest firepower depending on its characteristics.
A summoning skill that can summon vicious monsters depending on the level.
Summoning-type skills and magic-type skills.
It was Kasim Jort who possessed all physical skills.
The expression that he was strong was so simple that it even felt inadequate.
The SS-rank summoning skill ‘Devil Gate’ was canceled due to Taehyun’s interference.
SS grade magic skill ‘Dystopia’.
SS grade physical skill ‘Demonization’.
A mine whose three skills are all SS grade.
It goes without saying that the control over magical power had reached its limit.
He was always the number one figure in the world of demons.
And that’s it.
The same was true for a player named Kim Tae-hyun.
Quad deud deuk.
‘Blood Runaway’ was activated and Taehyun’s torn body was regenerated.
Like Kassim Jort’s body, it was a red arm that could hardly be called human.
“Second half. “Should we get started?”
Taehyun was the one who moved his body first.
Even though it did not receive Apocalypse’s buff, it was a much lighter movement than before.
Speed stat of 385.
A body like a flash of light entered Kassim Jort’s arms.
A demon-type monster that is 3 meters tall.
Being large also means that there are many areas to aim for.
Cooung.
Kassim Zort, who withstood Taehyun’s fist, raised the corner of his mouth.
He became a top-level magician just through research on magical power.
The body of a top-class monster that was completed by compiling the results of research.
There would be nothing more interesting than trampling on a player who had trained his body.
Boom.
Kassim Jort’s fist split the air.
Fast and threatening.
But that was all.
‘It shows a lot of clumsiness.’
Quang.
[…!!]
Cassim Zort’s massive body shook as he was cast at extremely close range.
That was the beginning.
Quang. Quang. Quang. Quang.
Three Gorges, an ancient Chinese martial art that acts as a principle of ascension.
Taehyun caught the flow and hit the technique one after another.
Chongyeong and Cheokgyeong.
Following Sungyeong, Inhwagyeong tapped the body.
Next, Shin Hwa-kyung.
Quang!!
Half of Kassim Jort’s body flew away.
It was so powerful that if I hadn’t instinctively avoided it, my entire upper body would have been blown away.
The moment when bubbles appear along with purple magic.
The half-body that flew away was quickly restored.
Taehyun was shocked when he saw that.
“I admit it. “Your tenacity is better than mine.”
‘Demonization’ is a similar type of skill to Kwon Kang-hyuk’s ‘Beast Protection’ or Taehyun’s ‘Demonization’.
However, it was much more threatening as it acquired the body of a complete SS-class monster.
‘If other guys had used it, it would have been much harder.’
For example, what if a martial artist like Ji Jin-hee had this skill?
At that time, Taehyun would not have been able to hit the target with the technique as easily as he does now.
But Kassim Zort was not unmanned.
No matter how many skills he has awakened.
The combat method is close to the magician class.
In other words, if Taehyun’s physical ability was sufficient, there would be no reason for him to be pushed out.
“I should have made good use of my major.”
Taebaek, the first form of the new Korean ancient martial art.
Kwasik.
The blade of the hand that came down broke Kassim Jort’s arm.
[I have adapted to my physical proficiency. Strength increases by 1.]
[I have adapted to my physical proficiency. Speed increases by 1.]
For the first time in a long time, a pleasant message window appeared.
It seemed to be because he was perfectly controlling the intense movements of ancient martial arts while using ‘Bloody Rush’.
The corners of Taehyun’s mouth rose.
This is a stat that was already difficult to raise.
‘It’s better.’
This is what happened.
Before meeting Min Ji-hong, I thought it would be a good idea to check the synergy effect between ‘Blood Runaway’ and ancient martial arts.
At that moment, Kasim Zort was recovering from his wounds without getting tired.
[Do not avoid divine punishment.]
“Don’t avoid it yourself.”
Kassim Zort countered Taehyun’s swinging fist.
However, the results were quite different.
Quang.
With a loud noise, Kasim Jort’s arm was broken.
This was due to the additional magical power released from Taehyun’s fist immediately after the collision.
The second form of a new Korean ancient martial art that explodes the energy concentrated in the fist. Mountain scenery.
The technology was applied to maximize magical power.
Crack. Wow.
Kasim Jort’s broken arm immediately returned to its original state.
This is a regenerative ability that an average player would have thought ridiculous.
However, it was insignificant to Taehyun, who had experienced all kinds of hardships before birth.
“Is this the end of the remaining punishment?”
[….]
Kassim Zort was silent.
“Is it really not there?”
[You bastard…]
The first curse came out of Kasim Jort’s mouth.
I laughed at the disappearance of pretense.
“young. “He pretended to be nice.”
Whether or not he has any left.
The enlarged body in front of me would make a good punching bag.
* * *
Quang.
The right arm exploded with a loud noise.
In an instant, purple magic blooms and the arm regenerates.
At the same time, his left arm exploded and his right leg broke.
Boom.
Kassim Jort’s huge hand waved as if swatting away a fly.
However, Taehyun was not a fly but a wild beast hunting for prey.
New Korean ancient martial arts 6th form. Decimal.
Taehyun’s leg hit Kassim Jort’s head.
To be precise, it was aimed at the horns on the head.
Kwasik!!
Degururu.
The broken horn rolled across the labyrinth floor.
There was no significant change in appearance.
but.
‘Magic power has decreased significantly.’
Taehyun noticed the change and did his best to block the guy’s attack.
The heavy attack became a little lighter.
Taehyun, who was holding Kassim Jort’s arms, concentrated his strength on both hands.
Quad deuk.
The guy’s arm was pulled out due to his ridiculous strength stats.
“what. “Are the horns really your weak point?”
Taehyun grinned at Kassim Jort, who could not regenerate like before.
Taehyun is still using the ‘higher species eyes’.
I knew right away that unusual magical power was gathered in its horns.
‘Is this a skill you received from Beelzebub?’
Otherwise, there is no way such ridiculous playback would be possible.
It was just as Taehyun expected.
It was also true that the SS grade skill ‘Demonization’ was a skill acquired by Kasim Zort when he signed a contract with Beelzebub, and that horns were the source of ultra-fast regeneration.
Normally, there would be no way to check that hypothesis.
Taehyun found out by steadily tapping his body.
‘There was another outrageous guy.’
As Kasim Zort thought this, he thought of Min Ji-hong.
I vividly remembered the day when he first came to me asking to hold hands with me.
Mine is famous in the shadows as a black hole.
Whether it is the guild leader of a malicious guild.
That didn’t matter to me, who was already on the verge of immortality.
The only thing that caught my interest was that he was an anti-aircraft contractor.
Min Ji-hong was a man who truly deserved the name Orgal’s contractor.
And now.
I felt the same way from Taehyun as I did back then.
Tiring.
[The other person expresses awe. Charisma increases by 1.]
Kasim Zort began to laugh.
This made him the fifth person to avoid punishment.
Cody Cruz. Ricky Harlis. Jihong Min. shadow.
And Taehyun Kim.
[Among them, you were by far the most interesting.]
Kasim Jort spread his arms.
It was a reward given to those who avoided divine punishment.
“Crazy guy.”
Taehyun’s whole body was surrounded by magical energy.
Hehehehe.
My body trembled from the magical power that had been strengthened to its limit.
The target is the magic stone located opposite the heart.
Taehyun saw with his superior’s eyes that the guy was completely defenseless.
and.
Kwasik!!
The sharply forged hands of a monster.
I extracted Kasim Zort’s magic gem.
Cooung.
Its massive body fell to the floor of the labyrinth.
Taehyun canceled ‘Blood Rush’.
This is because I think we have already seen sufficient results.
[Do you think he’s dead?]
“Huh.”
This time, Taehyun couldn’t help but be surprised.
Following the heart, which can be said to be the lifeline of humans.
He even pulled out the magic gemstone, which can be said to be the lifeline of monsters.
I can still feel the warmth from the magic stone in my hand.
‘Is it really immortal?’
Even in his past life, as far as Taehyun knew, such a skill was not known.
[Clark. You look surprised.]
[This body was chosen by God. Isn’t it strange that he is immortal?]
“….”
[Come under me. Swear your loyalty to me by sacrificing your life.]
[Then you will learn the secrets of the universe.]
“I’m not interested.”
[Well, I knew you would say that.]
Taehyun sighed at the response that it was no big deal.
From the looks of it, the guy isn’t sure about death.
It seemed like I wouldn’t be able to gain any skills even if I feasted on him here.
[My role ends here. Thanks to you, it was fun. This is the reward.]
Purple magic seemed to be swirling from the body of Kasim Zort, who should have been a corpse.
Soon, it resonated with the magic stone that Taehyun was holding.
The previously canceled SS grade skill ‘Devil Gate’.
It’s a skill whose cooldown hasn’t fully returned yet.
‘You went on a rampage using your body as collateral.’
Taehyun, who understood the situation, clicked his tongue and widened the distance.
Quadddddd.
A crack appeared in the space and a gate was created.
‘Devil Gate’ was not an ordinary summoning skill.
Unlike in most cases, only monsters that have made an oath of summoning can be handled depending on the awakened person’s abilities.
Devil Gate was capable of attracting all the monsters in the area.
The location marked by Kassim Zort is the deepest level of the Abyss.
Cooung.
The first one to come across was a dragon with blue scales.
Then one by two.
Monsters that Taehyun had never seen before jumped out.
Even at the minimum level of horsepower felt, it is rated S+.
[Puh-huh.]
It might not be possible to deal with Kim Tae-hyun here, but it would be enough to drain his stamina.
[Have fun!]
His shriveled body completely melted together with the magic stone.
The gate closed as soon as Kassim Zort died.
“This guy until the end….”
Taehyun looked ahead.
The number of monsters that crossed over in that short period of time easily exceeded 100.
The corners of Taehyun’s mouth quietly rose.
“Are you giving me a gift?”
It was already a shame that I couldn’t feast on him.
But how dare you personally summon a monster like this and leave.
“thank you for this food.”
Tiring.
[Unique skill Predation (SS) has been activated. The target is not specified.]
Ugh.
A huge maw opened beneath the monsters who had just entered the labyrinth.
After a while.
The screams of monsters being chewed to the bone echoed throughout the labyrinth.
