Episode 228:
A black sickle made with the skill ‘Apostle of Darkness’.
A scythe worthy of being a unique grade struck Asisat Ebi in the neck.
Kyaang!!
An unbelievable sound echoed through the factory as a result of a person’s neck colliding with a blade.
Wow.
Taehyun kicked her in the abdomen with his magical foot.
It felt like it hit the body of a monster, not a human body.
“It’s sturdy.”
Taehyun muttered as he watched her get up.
The magical power emanating from the body has changed.
This was proof that he was no longer relaxed enough to fight the battle while controlling the power of the Archduke.
“Is it difficult to break this much?”
The moment Taehyun said that and was about to attack again.
Tiring.
[The proficiency of the skill ‘Dark Beast (S)’ has increased.]
[The proficiency of the skill ‘Dark Apostle (S)’ has increased.]
[The proficiency of the skill ‘Blood Rush (S)’ has increased.]
[ It has adapted to the body’s proficiency. Strength increases by 1.]
[I have adapted to my physical proficiency. Speed increases by 1.]
[I have adapted to my physical proficiency. Stamina increases by 1.]
Multiple messages appeared before my eyes.
Each skill is close to the season, ‘Blood Rush’ and ‘Demonization’.
Since those skills are used at the same time, the load on the body cannot be light, and the body is also growing to withstand the skills.
‘It’s free. It’s free.’
Unlike Taehyun, whose satisfaction with the current situation was welling up, Asisat Ebi’s embarrassment was growing.
She was originally an A-grade player in the Nigerian Association.
The unique skill is ‘Separated World’, which is rated A.
It was a downgraded version of Tsai Mingmin’s ‘Silent World’, but as a barrier skill, it had the effect of blocking the surrounding area.
However, her fate changed after she accidentally became an anti-aircraft contractor.
Among the monsters of the Abyss, the dragon tribe boasts innate strength.
Hazard is the Grand Duke who rules over the dragon race and is called the Dragon Lord.
Just by receiving some of his power, ‘Separated World’ grew from Class A to Class S.
Is that all?
Two new skills were created.
SS grade skills ‘Demon Dragon’s Mettle’ and ‘Blue Dragon’s Scales’.
Originally, the body that couldn’t withstand the powerful skill would have exploded.
Is it thanks to Hazard’s arrangement?
Just by possessing the skill, the Awakened grade changed from A grade to SS grade.
It’s a growth type at least.
It was an unbelievable change for her, who had been stagnant at the highest level of A grade.
One S-grade skill and two SS-grade skills.
Although due to the nature of the SS level player license test.
Although the license could not be obtained because the power of the anti-aircraft contractor could not be revealed.
By limiting the use of the anti-aircraft contractor’s power, he was able to instantly surpass SS-level players.
Against monsters, against demons, and against players.
I wanted to test this ridiculous power.
I was confident.
With this power, of course, Cody Cruz was pushed down to second place in the world player rankings.
It’s worth a try with Kim Tae-hyun, who has recently risen to No. 1 in the rankings.
Around that time, Hazard gave an order.
[Bring in Taehyun Kim, Rosaria’s contractor.]
That’s why Asisat Ebi created this informal event.
Here, under the pretext of testing his strength, he subdues Kim Tae-hyun to clarify the relationship between superiors and subordinates.
If you defeat Kim Tae-hyun, all you have to do is take him to Hazard.
Even if we lose, we hand over the appropriate information and reconcile.
‘It’s a plan that has nothing to lose to me.’
That’s what I thought.
Kyaang!!
Taehyun’s scythe once again scratched Asisat Ebi’s body.
Regardless of the protection provided by the ‘blue dragon scales’, the pain of being torn to shreds was vivid.
Above all, that ridiculous speed and strength were already beyond her knowledge.
Although the magical power and physical strength stats have temporarily increased thanks to the ‘Demon Dragon’s Mettle’ and ‘Blue Dragon’s Scales’, the speed still remains the same.
Even though.
‘There’s this much difference?’
Kwaang!!
This time it was a fist, not a scythe.
A fist transformed into a magical beast struck her back.
She was trapped in the ‘separated world’, a barrier she created.
‘I… can’t do anything?’
Doesn’t the way you look now resemble a punching bag?
Thanks to the ‘blue dragon scales’, there were no physical injuries, but there was quite a bit of mental shock.
Before I knew it, the expression on his face had also changed.
Taehyun was laughing heartily at the constantly rising stats, and she was busy contorting her expression as she hit the wall every moment.
This scene repeated for about a minute.
‘There is no way the magic consumption would be small while maintaining that kind of momentum…’
Before she knew it, she was rationalizing it like that.
If you withstand this attack.
If we keep them from consuming only magic potions and fatigue potions, the victory will ultimately be in jeopardy.
That was the judgment.
Taehyun read her thoughts without difficulty.
“Wrong.”
The 4th form of Bagua, a new Korean ancient martial art.
Quad deuk.
She was once again thrown back by the magic power that swirled from Taehyun’s hand.
“Anyway, an attack like this can’t cause damage… Ugh…!!”
Unlike before, she spurted out a handful of blood.
It was because his internal organs were shaken by the Bagua.
Taehyun saw through the weakness of the ‘blue dragon’s scales’.
“Cough… Why….”
Kwaang!!
Taehyun’s strengthened feet trampled her as she tried to stand up.
“I think you’re misunderstanding something… Did you think I was serious about dealing with you?”
“No way…”
Before she could finish her sentence, a black scythe struck her left arm.
Originally, it should have been deflected with the ‘Blue Dragon’s Scale’ effect.
However, her skills were becoming unstable due to the continued attacks.
There was no way Taehyun, who had strengthened his ‘eyes of a higher species’, would not know that.
Suddenly.
The arm was cut off cleanly, ignoring the protection of the ‘blue dragon scales’.
“Kwaaaah!!!”
She screamed from the overwhelming pain.
Taehyun tilted his head as he looked at that.
“what. Is there no super-fast playback ability? These days, both dogs and cows are used.”
“Kuh…huh….”
She tried to get up, stopping the bleeding in her arm.
Taehyun was not one to be left alone.
With your foot pressed against the nape of your neck.
Taehyun aimed the sickle he was holding at her neck.
Penetrating the ‘blue dragon’s scales’ like a piece of paper.
Juruk.
Red blood flowed.
‘How…’
I didn’t have time to think any further.
Pazzzzzz.
The scythe surrounded by blood-red magic tightened around my neck.
‘It gets cut off.’
If you get hit by this attack now, your head will be cut off.
“Now wait a minute…!! Kim Tae-hyun player…!! “I…”
Every time she opened her mouth, blood flowed from her neck where it touched the blade.
Taehyun watched quietly and opened his mouth.
“Anything to say?”
Grumbling.
Before she knew it, the scythe had dug into her neck and her blood had been cut.
“Do you know why anti-aircraft contractors were created?!!”
The scythe dug into my neck a little more.
Rumbling.
Before I knew it, the blood that had flowed began to soak the floor.
“Ha Hazard said he was going to attack Rosaria!!”
There was desperation in his voice.
“Now we can finally communicate.”
“Haa….”
That’s when she breathed a sigh of relief.
“But that’s it.”
Suddenly.
The scythe cut off one of her other arms.
“If I did something wrong, I should be punished, right?”
In the screams of Asisat Ebi.
Taehyun said with a grin.
* * *
Taehyun poured healing potion on Asisat Ebi’s severed arm.
‘You posted it very well.’
I never thought I would come this far and be able to increase my stats and skill proficiency.
‘It’s the scale of the blue dragon. It’s a coveted skill.’
‘Stone skin’ or magical power enhancement used in the past.
It was a physical strength that was enviable even compared to the ‘geumgang’ of the white wolf that he had recently mastered.
It is said that the power was adjusted to increase stats and proficiency.
If only one of ‘Demon Beast Fire’ or ‘Blood Runaway’ was used.
‘I wouldn’t have been able to pierce those ridiculous scales.’
“Whoa… he’s really… a scary person.”
After stopping the bleeding, Asisat Ebi muttered.
Before I knew it, the tone of voice had become polite again.
“There is a saying that only if the horse that goes to New Korea is good, the horse that comes back is good.”
Taehyun said with a friendly face.
Oh soso.
Goosebumps appeared on Asisat Ebi’s body.
“so. Would you like to hear the story?”
Taehyun got to the point.
The reason I flew all the way to Nigeria.
The reason I saved her life.
“Oh, and it would be best not to try to cheat just because the Awakened Pact is not concluded. “You know Rosaria’s power well, right?”
“Yes…”
Asisat Ebi answered in a voice that had lost all momentum.
Rosaria’s power is mind manipulation.
Taehyun was able to subdue himself by using Hazzard’s power, Haki, without using that power.
If you put your mind to it, you can read your own thoughts at any time.
Even if his spirit is completely destroyed.
Taehyun, whom she understood through a short discussion, was that kind of man.
‘As expected… we need to form an alliance.’
As long as I made up my mind, there was no need to hesitate.
“The reason Hazard is targeting Rosaria is because of a turf war…”
Taehyun also knew this.
Still, I listened quietly.
It was for the next information.
“Tell me why anti-aircraft contractors were created.”
Rosaria was friendly to Taehyun, but did not tell him the details.
Sometimes when I’m in a good mood.
Or, unless there is a one-to-one exchange of information, no response is given.
Even if it was to avoid interfering with the king’s will, it was quite annoying from Taehyeon’s perspective.
In that respect, the information Asisat Ebi shared was worth taking the time to listen to.
“There are seven princes in the Abyss who claim to be kings.”
“however?”
Taehyun asked, pretending to know nothing.
“But there are several others who are called great supply beings. From what I heard, the monster called Asmodeus is the closest to the Grand Duke…”
The corners of Taehyeon’s mouth went up at the name Asmodeus.
I think I found the right Willie this time.
* * *
“Damn you bastards!!”
Lee Jeong-su shouted in indignation.
The shadow that had been having a secret relationship with him was killed by Kim Tae-hyun.
The Players’ Association had its tail on its heels.
There is already an anti-warp barrier in effect in the area, making it impossible to escape.
No, why did he, the vice chairman of Taesan Group, which controls the business world of New Korea, have to run away in the first place?
‘Maybe we were in too much of a hurry…’
To launch the Taesan Guild.
I just temporarily lent Mine’s help for the future of Taesan Group.
“Where is Jeongjae?!!”
Jeongsu Lee shouted.
Although it was a villa, it was of a size that would not be strange even if it were a small kingdom.
It was natural that hundreds of bodyguards composed of top-level awakened individuals were stationed there.
“You are currently receiving a medical examination in the research building.”
“Damn… just a little more… just a little more and everything will be within reach…”
This is Lee Jeong-jae, whose potential has blossomed after taking the potion given by the shadow the other day.
In addition, after receiving all kinds of strengthening procedures, he has now achieved the strength equivalent to that of an S-class advanced player.
If it weren’t for this situation.
He was proudly inaugurated as the guild leader of the Taesan Guild, which was enough to relieve the pressure from the Players Association.
However, all of this was ruined because of one kid named Kim Tae-hyun.
‘Damn Kim Taehyun!!’
It was natural for Lee Jeong-su to swear.
It was then.
“This is still the same.”
An unexpected man appeared in front of Lee Jeong-su.
