Episode 224
Quad Deed.
Orgal’s brown magic was added to the original magic.
The face of the guy who flew away started playing at high speed.
At the same time, the shadow spread widely beneath his feet.
This guy has become an SS+ grade monster.
The scope was by no means small.
‘This might be a bit dangerous.’
Taehyun widened the distance and retreated to where reporter Kim was.
‘Sufficient filming took place.’
From now on, there seemed to be no need to conserve strength.
Taehyun used ‘apocalypse’ again.
Tiring.
[Skill Apocalypse (S) has been activated. Specifies the target.]
Huaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
It was a skill specific to shadows.
Sigh. Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Dozens of chains wrapped around his body.
[…!!]
Strong power dulls the senses.
It was no different from a shadow.
My current self clearly has the body of an SS-class monster with human skills added to it.
‘Are you saying this isn’t enough?’
Now I even have doubts.
Kim Tae-hyun could publicly execute himself if he wanted to.
Why did he create this stage?
Why did you push yourself into such a corner?
However.
Taehyun was not kind enough to explain the reason to his prey.
“It’s just perfect to eat.”
Taehyun approached and brought out the magical power of predation.
I don’t know how long I’ve waited for this day.
Ugh.
The shadow stared at the unknown magic power that was trying to devour it.
[This is it… your secret.]
“Correct answer.”
Kwaduk!!
The magic power of predation engulfed the shadow’s body at once.
Quad deuk. Crack.
[Kk…kkk….]
Even at the moment of being chewed and swallowed.
Despite the pain of my whole body being torn apart.
The shadow laughed.
It was absolutely not the attitude of a dying guy.
[Didn’t I tell you… that I won’t die alone…]
‘This guy can’t believe it…’
This is the moment when Taehyun is trying to strengthen his predation.
Sssssssut.
Amid the dark red magic of apocalypse and predation, the shadowy body with its limbs torn off suddenly disappeared.
“…!!”
Variables include the monster’s rigid body and skills.
An obsession that doesn’t give up even in the face of death.
He succeeded in activating the skill while surrendering his body to predation.
It was an adventure I had never experienced before.
“This is my first time experiencing something like this.”
Fortunately, Taehyun had a skill that was useful in times like this.
Tiring.
[Skill Portal (S) has been activated. Search the coordinates.]
The skill traced the magic power of the shadow that remained in Apocalypse.
[Coordinates have been specified. The gate is activated.]
Quaaaaaaa.
The warp gate opened.
Taehyun chased after the runaway prey.
* * *
New Korea Players Association headquarters.
A monster suddenly appeared in the sky above that place.
To be exact, it was a shadow that had been torn apart by predation, leaving only the body.
[Huh… Success.]
This is the place chosen as the place to meet the end.
The power gained by giving up being human.
The plan was to take as many players as possible before this power disappeared.
“It’s a demon!!”
It all started when someone discovered him.
“It’s that shadow, right?!!”
“Why did the guy in the garbage dump…!!”
Those who shouted that were all players of the association.
We also know that Shadow was imprisoned there and is engaged in a battle with Taehyun through the video sent out.
But then the monster appeared before their eyes.
Quad deuk.
The torn body of the shadow began to regenerate.
Although the speed has slowed due to the effects of predation.
[Not bad.]
There was no problem in erasing the association in front of me.
Sssssss.
The brown magic spread and engulfed the entire area.
This is a plan that has been in preparation for over a dozen years, traveling back and forth between Earth and the Abyss.
Those plans collapsed one by one for Kim Tae-hyun, and he ended up giving up his life.
What remains is his partner.
For the guy.
If you don’t meet a meaningful end, it doesn’t pay off.
‘There isn’t much time left for him to remain conscious.’
The magic power of Orgal accepted by Min Ji-hong.
I refined it once again and only accepted a small portion of it.
Nevertheless, the brown magical power was eating away at his body every moment.
Although he is the one who used the key to skill overload, he is not allowed to own it.
‘Suffice.’
Anyway, the best thing you can do right now is to shed as much blood as possible.
After that, Min Ji-hong would take care of it for me.
There was no need to activate the skill.
Just by raising the magic power of the whole body, the shadows in the area were sucked in.
Originally, the skill he awakened, ‘Apostle of Darkness’, was merely a simple materialization skill.
He went beyond limitations and succeeded in applying various methods.
He embodied the scythe and also jumped through space.
And now that I have accepted the power of the monster.
[I will show you the truth.]
It was possible to bring the darkness from the deepest level of the Abyss to Earth.
Regardless of people or buildings.
Everything in the area was shrouded in shadow.
Monsters live in the deepest layers.
Everything marked with his magic would become a sacrifice to summon those monsters.
Screams erupted from everywhere.
Some people struggled using their skills, while others began begging for their lives.
‘It’s already late.’
The corners of the shadow’s mouth rose.
Soon, the new Korea will become the fertilizer for a new era.
It was then.
I don’t know what to do.
The gate opened right in front of the shadow.
“A rat is only a rat if it runs away.”
A familiar face, Kim Tae-hyun, appeared there.
* * *
[You rat.]
The shadow shook its perfectly regenerated body.
[Indeed.]
Taehyun Kim in front of me.
[You have the right to say that.]
An SS-class monster once known as the ruler of the deep.
Even though it had become an SS+ grade monster that had surpassed its limits, there was no way it could be defeated.
In a little while, some of the deepest levels will be summoned here.
There is no way Kim Tae-hyun, who is more sensitive to magical power than anyone else, does not know that fact.
So I took them hostage.
All of those trapped by his magic were marked.
If you put your mind to it, you can turn their bodies into pieces of meat in an instant.
[You’re bluffing.]
The shadow clicked its tongue as it watched Taehyun coming out of the gate.
The skill is already in effect.
If the skill was stopped, a huge explosion would occur as a result of the backlash.
Its power is enough to blow away not only the association headquarters but the entire area.
‘The explosion cannot be blocked even with the skill from before.’
Even though that would be the case.
“Is the skill being displayed this far? “It’s pretty good, right?”
Taehyun was still relaxed as he looked around the darkened surroundings.
It was as if he was dealing with someone else’s business.
[Have you given up on even the bare minimum of resistance?]
The shadow chuckled, amplifying its magical power.
There is only one magic stone left after losing its heart.
I could vividly feel a huge magical power seething there.
His own body became a kind of detonator.
Even if the slightest impact is applied, the explosion can be uncontrollable.
All Taehyun Kim can do is just watch or get out of here.
No matter what choice I made, it was a painful defeat.
“You’re wrong Shadow.”
Tiring.
[Skill Apocalypse (S) has been activated.]
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
The ‘Apostle of Darkness’ developed by Shadow.
A new darkness was layered over it.
[Is this it again? You don’t have the ability to learn.]
Pajijik. Pajijijik.
The two realms collided, sparks flying everywhere.
Just that.
dump. dump. dump.
Players in the area fainted.
“That’s the one who doesn’t have the ability to learn. “What I thought was just buying time turned out to be a hostage.”
Taehyun, with red eyes, approached the shadow.
If it had been Kassim Jort, Taehyun would have become a victim without him being able to do anything.
However, although the shadow was transformed into a monster, it did not reach that level.
The proof was that Taehyun’s apocalypse could not be completely destroyed.
“It’s a long way from Kassim Jort.”
[Kkkkkk. I don’t think you’re crazy either?]
The shadow laughed.
Those eyes.
Isn’t it closer to mine than a player?
Why didn’t I know about that until now?
The real face behind that mask.
However.
It’s already too late.
[I can’t turn back anymore.]
Quadddddd.
1 min.
Now, as time passes, this place will become part of the Abyss.
Tiring.
[Skill Apocalypse (S) has been strengthened. Magic power consumption accelerates.]
Pazzuzuzuz.
[It’s no use!!]
The shadow burst into flames, ignoring the sparks flying out.
“Have you already forgotten?”
[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.
Taehyun’s red eyes became even darker.
There is no way the shadow would not notice the change.
Hwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
The entire area was immediately under Taehyeon’s control.
At the same time, the things marked by the shadow disappeared.
It was the result of ‘apocalypse’ becoming stronger beyond its limits due to the ‘blood rush’.
“shadow.”
Jerk.
Taehyun walked towards his prey.
“I’ve been waiting for this moment.”
[I’m still just touching this body…]
It was before the shadow could finish speaking.
Phew.
Taehyun’s hand dug into the shadow and grasped the magic stone.
It was a surprisingly clean blow.
The detonator has been touched.
The shadow’s magic began to shake unstably.
[Cruch… Crunch… Tsk….]
I could feel the magic power swirling around the magic stone.
There will be a huge explosion.
Although it may not be able to bring up the deepest level.
The entire area will disappear without a trace.
That wasn’t a bad ending either.
[Kim Tae-hyun. He only makes a mistake at the very end.]
“I’m curious. “How long will you last?”
Tiring.
[Skill Energy Drain (S) has been activated. Specifies the target.]
Sigh. Sigh.
‘At best, the magic power is Blooddia level.’
That’s about Blooddia before using its full power.
Naturally, the effect of ‘Energy Drain’ was effective.
[…!!]
The magic power of the swirling shadow began to weaken little by little.
Tiring.
[A huge amount of magical power has been absorbed. Magic power has increased by 1.]
[A huge amount of magic power has been absorbed. Magic power has increased by 1.]
Quaaaaa.
Red and black magic bloomed from Taehyun’s body at the same time.
In addition to the outpouring of blood, the magical power of predation was unleashed.
Tiring.
[Unique skill Predation (SS) has been activated. Specifies the target.]
Ugh.
“Anything to say?”
It holds a magic stone and is surrounded by the enhanced magic of apocalypse and devouring.
Taehyun, who had blocked all the moves the shadow could take, asked.
Tiring.
[The opponent feels a sense of awe. Charisma has increased by 1.]
The message represented the shadow’s feelings.
“I guess it doesn’t exist.”
Quad deud deuk.
A huge maw.
It swallowed the demon who had become a monster.
* * *
Tiring.
[You have feasted on a huge being.]
[Strength increases by 1.]
[Stamina increases by 1.]
[Speed increases by 1.]
[General skill Dark Apostle (S) has been registered.]
[General skill M. The magic power of Sign Language (S) is readjusted.]
[The magic power of the summoning skill Orgal (S) is readjusted.]
Grinning.
The corners of Taehyun’s mouth rose.
I took great care of not only my skills but also my stats.
More than anything.
‘It was this way as expected.’
A demonic demon.
Or a higher-species monster.
Only at that level can the skill be registered and the probability of the stat increasing increases.
It was a moment to confirm that my choice was not wrong.
Hahahahaha.
Apocalypse has been lifted.
Players lying down in the area were noticeable.
Although his magic power was taken away during the Season of Shadows, his life would not be in danger.
“It’s going to be noisy again.”
A demonic demon.
The players association behind Mine.
The lines dividing good and evil have become blurred.
It was as obvious as fire that the chaos would intensify.
As Taehyun thought, the death of the shadow became the starting point of chaos.
It started in an unexpected place.
