Episode 216
Kugugugugu.
The frequency of the labyrinth shaking has increased.
This also meant that collapse was just around the corner.
At that moment, Taehyun’s magic power was also released to its full potential.
‘Failure is death.’
The gate is created using ‘Energy Compose’ and ‘Energy Drain’.
It was a risky gamble.
Normally, I would have tried it after sufficiently ensuring safety.
Taehyun didn’t have much time right now.
Tiring.
[Skill Apocalypse (S) has been activated.]
Darkness fell where Taehyun’s magic touched.
I can feel my physical abilities increasing.
But that alone wasn’t enough.
[Skill Apocalypse (S) has been strengthened. Magic power consumption is accelerating.]
Kugugugu.
[Output 60… 70… 80… 90… 100%.]
[Skill enhancement has reached its limit. The consumption of magic power is accelerating.]
I felt my magic power draining away quickly.
Taehyun used the second skill.
[Skill Blood Rush (S) has been activated.]
[A huge power awakens. Muscle strength increases. Strength has increased to 360 (380).]
[Great power awakens. Stamina increases. Stamina has reached 360 (370).]
[A great power awakens. The speed increases. The speed has become 355 (370).]
[A great power awakens. Magic power increases. Magic power has increased to 500 (520).]
Blood-red magic power mixed in on top of the dark red magic power.
Ddddddddd.
My body, strengthened to its limit, was unable to withstand the load and began to tremble.
‘Is this what it is now?’
‘Apocalypse’ and ‘blood rush’ were used together.
Nevertheless, the stat increase was not large compared to before.
It seemed to be because a lot of stamina had been used up due to the successive battles.
520 horsepower.
Magic power that even SS-rank players wouldn’t dare dare.
I can say without a doubt that no player has ever been touched by this level of magical power even in his past life.
‘This is enough buff. The problem is how to procure magical power.’
Taehyun used the next skill.
Tiring.
[Skill Energy Drain (S) has been activated. The target is not specified.]
Pazzuzu.
The magical power that escaped Taehyeon’s body was scattered throughout the labyrinth.
There was no magic power to be explored.
Because there are no demons alive here anymore.
[Skill Energy Drain (S) has been strengthened. Magic power consumption accelerates.]
Pazzuzuzuz.
This time, the magical power that erupted even more intensely penetrated the walls of the labyrinth.
Even the magic power that flowed into the labyrinth is being sucked up.
‘This is it.’
It is a labyrinth that is collapsing anyway.
Will it collapse in an explosion like this, or will it collapse because all its magical energy is taken out?
It was of no importance to the person who would be leaving here soon.
Magic power began to build up quickly.
‘Apocalypse’, ‘Blood Runaway’, ‘Energy Drain’.
The amount was not enough to maintain three skills.
Taehyun used the last skill.
[Skill Energy Compose (S) has been activated.]
Quaaaaa.
A condensation of magical power was created before my eyes.
‘A little more like a gate.’
Pajik. Fazizik.
According to Taehyun’s will, the aggregate gradually changed into the image of the gate.
It didn’t take much time.
Even though it looks like a gate, something that is sufficient has been created.
‘Imitation alone is the limit.’
Is it because it’s not a skill?
The artificially created gate seemed unstable at first glance.
Especially now, in an unstable environment teeming with magical power, passing through a warp gate is tantamount to suicide.
Taehyun wanted to minimize that risk.
The late Ricky Harlis.
She created a small gate by applying ‘Energy Drain’ and ‘Energy Compose’.
‘There is no way that two skills were simply fused together.’
There must be something special that only she knows about.
And Taehyun was about to give an answer to that.
[The eye of a higher-ranking skill (S) has been activated.]
A flow of magical power was seen in Taehyun’s red-stained eyes.
Fazizik. Pajik.
A gate with sparks flying due to the unstable flow of magic power.
Taehyun put his hand into the center of that place.
Go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go
The unstabilized magical power completely pulverized Taehyun’s hand.
at the same time.
Quad deud deuk.
The ultra-fast regeneration triggered by the ‘blood rush’ restored the body.
Destruction and rebirth were repeated.
A state of chaos whose coordinates have not yet been determined.
‘It’s the climax.’
Tiring.
[The summoning skill Rosaria (S) has been activated.]
A lot.
A huge amount of magical power escaped from Taehyun’s body.
It’s different from Alchemist’s reverse summons.
At that time, a large gate with proven performance served as a medium.
What Taehyun’s magic was currently being injected into was an unstable gate created through the fusion of skills.
‘The more you know Ricky Harlis, the more she is an amazing woman.’
Even if you are expert in horsepower control, it is not a load you can handle.
It felt as if the body holding the skill was collapsing and the brain squeezing out magical power would burn out at any moment.
Of course, Taehyun is aiming to achieve the results she has practiced over the years.
Even as I was thinking that, nearly 500 horsepower was sucked into the gate.
The deepest part where Rosaria is located is being searched to set coordinates.
Fazizik. Pajijijik.
Sparks flew from the gate and the noise became louder.
Taehyun’s expression changed as he was injecting magical power.
I felt it.
A deep magical power that can only be felt in the deepest layer of the Abyss beyond the gate.
The familiar magical power of Rosaria.
Tiring.
[Skill Portal (S) has been registered.]
[Understanding of magical power increases. Magic power increases by 1.]
Kugugugung.
The labyrinth shook once again.
Taehyun was carrying Yoo Ah-young, who had already fainted.
Crossed the stabilized warp gate.
* * *
[Orgal has returned. Follow me.]
“You’re late.”
[It’s none of your business.]
“….”
Min Ji-hong frowned.
The guy in front of me is an SS-class monster.
Min Ji-hong could easily handle it if she wanted to.
‘Shall I kill you?’
Min Ji-hong thought for a moment and shook his head.
This is Orgal’s castle.
No matter how much Min Ji-Hong is, working here is tantamount to suicide.
Even if you are Orgal’s contractor.
‘Damn Orgal bastard. ‘What are you doing by holding someone like this?’
Min Ji-hong clicked his tongue as he walked after the monster.
I returned to the castle immediately at Orgal’s call.
Actually, he was away, so I was waiting at the castle for the second day.
‘Igmun and Rosaria have moved.’
He recalled what the monsters were whispering about.
I know that Kim Tae-hyun is Rosaria’s contractor.
That’s also why they call him Orgal Key.
‘Could it be that Kim Tae-hyun is involved here too?’
If it were the same, it would be a ridiculous assumption.
‘It’s a key…’
I’m not sure what that means, but I do know that it’s special.
That’s why I planned to capture Kim Tae-hyun alive and find out.
His partner who entrusted him with the work.
A shadow appeared.
‘It’s not that I don’t trust him, but…’
I feel uneasy.
Kasim Zort, who truly inherited the power of Archduke Beelzebub.
Will that grumpy guy be able to keep Kim Tae-hyun in check?
Just as I was thinking about that, I arrived at Orgal’s room.
[Orgal. I brought the contractor.]
[Let him in.]
The subordinate gestured to Min Ji-hong.
It meant to go in quickly and bow your head.
Min Ji-hong, who was prostrate in front of Orgal, raised his head.
“I almost caught Kim Tae-hyun. “Why did you call me?”
[Hehe. Indeed, you have an arrogant attitude, befitting my contractor. You can leave Taehyun Kim alone for a while.]
“…?”
Catch Kim Tae-hyun, he is the one who was so angry.
But suddenly you can leave me alone?
It was when Min Ji-hong was about to question the attitude that he did not understand.
[Asmodeus and Hazard held hands.]
“…!!”
Min Ji-hong’s expression twitched.
Asmodeus is aiming for the position of Grand Duke, and Dragon Lord Hazard is known for being violent among the Grand Dukes.
‘Those two joined hands?’
The relationship between the enemy and the enemy is already unclear due to the turf war.
Min Ji-hong’s head turned quickly.
[Bring in Hazard’s contractor.]
‘Is that really… that’s it?’
Only then did he understand why Orgal had called him.
The anti-aircraft contractor currently identified is Kassim Jord, Cody Cruz, and Kim Tae-hyun himself.
Igmun has no contract because Zhang Linfeng is dead.
Jormungand has not yet created a contract and Hazard’s contract is unknown.
‘Creating a contractor carries some risk, even for the Archduke.’
This was something he found out while watching from Orgal’s side.
Orgal plans to put pressure on Hazard by holding the contractor hostage.
“This is not an easy task and you do it without any hesitation.”
Min Ji-hong said this, as if revealing the repulsion that had caused him to wait for so long.
[He says he wants to die.]
This is the moment when the magic power begins to spread out of Orgal’s body.
“Who would deny that? “I will catch you and kill you.”
Min Ji-hong smiled and left Orgal’s room.
At the same time, there was a monster following him.
It was the SS-rank monster that was shown to Orgal a moment ago.
[Crazy person. How dare you treat Orgal like that…]
As if there was nothing more to hear.
Suddenly.
Min Ji-hong’s hand blade cut off the monster’s neck.
Degurrrrr.
The neck, separated from the body, rolled around on the floor.
‘I guess I’ll have to bring this plan forward.’
Of course, I planned to check what happened in the labyrinth before that.
By now, Kim Tae-hyun has either been captured alive or trapped in the labyrinth and facing death.
‘It’s probably one of the two.’
After a while.
Min Ji-hong, who sucked the monster’s body into the black hole, crossed the gate.
* * *

The stat has increased.
The difference from when I entered the labyrinth was that two skills were registered.
General skill ‘Portal’ and summoning skill ‘Typhon’.
“It looks like the portal could be useful…”
The magical power of the summoning skill ‘Typhon’ was 99999.
In fact, it was as if it could not be used.
“The skill has been registered, but it cannot be used….”
How the magic power would be adjusted was something that could be determined by feasting on the giants we would meet in the future.
While Taehyun was thinking like that, Rosaria approached.
[You’ve become stronger again in such a short period of time.]
“I met an interesting guy in the labyrinth. “What about the recovery of the woman you brought in?”
[Hehe. Don’t worry. Since I injected the original woman’s magic directly, it won’t take long.]
“Thank you.”
[From my memory, it seems like I have feelings for the contractor.]
Rosaria said nasally.
“…It’s not like that.”
Taehyun quickly drew a line, thinking that it was the same for a demon or a monster to make a mistake.
[The logo of a cold-hearted man who does not know how women feel.]
Taehyun changed the topic to Rosaria’s continued teasing.
“More than that, how is the turf war going? “I don’t think there are many succubi in the castle.”
He was away for only about 3 days in Earth time.
However, in the Abyss, where the time flow was different, there was no shortage of fighting a few battles.
[Isn’t Igeumoon anxious because he can’t kill his wife? Orgal’s movements are also unusual.]
The two archdukes are putting pressure on him.
As expected, Rosaria seemed to be flocking.
“Rosaria. Do you know anything about Typhon?”
Rosaria’s eyes sparkled at the unexpected name.
[Hoo. It’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time. He was the Grand Duke before Orgal.]
“As expected…”
Tartarus’ memory was not wrong.
[I heard that he is currently sealed somewhere?]
“So you’re saying he’s not dead yet?”
[okay. It’s probably somewhere in Orgal’s territory. [It is the fate of those who are brought down.]
This is the moment when one of Taehyeon’s hypotheses is proven.
Great supply monsters do not die or kill easily.
[Why is Typhon asking?]
“To turn an unfavorable war situation, you have to shake up the situation.”
[…?]
Rosaria looked like she didn’t know what he was talking about.
In response to the expected reaction, Taehyun raised a second hypothesis.
“Giant King Typhon. “I plan to attract him to our side.”
[That… what…?]
Is this nonsense?
Her expression when looking at Taehyun was exactly like that.
Taehyun gave me a kind smile.
“Rosaria. Let’s make him a grand duke again.”
The Abyss held by the seven great dukes.
The first rift would begin with Typhon.
