Episode 240
There was a huge dragon in front of me.
When looking at the uniqueness of the dragon race that matches the color of the scales.
The guy in front of me, who possessed all the symbolic powers, was definitely a being worthy of the name Demon Dragon.
The Grand Duke in the memories shown by Noname.
Baal, the first Grand Duke Demon Dragon King.
It was so large that it obscured the red sky of the Abyss.
The owner of that huge body opened his mouth.
[The lower world cannot disobey the orders of the upper world.]
A statement that cannot be rejected.
The target of that expression was a man.
A human less than two meters tall standing tall under the red sky of the Abyss.
Caught in the red eye.
A being that emits sparks of magical power throughout its entire body.
He was the king who conquered the underworld where Baal left and became the new ruler.
Taehyun was standing right next to the king.
‘king!!’
This is when Taehyun is about to shout without even realizing it.
Surprisingly, it was the king who spoke first.
“Was the regression satisfactory?”
“…!!”
Taehyun opened his mouth when he turned his head and saw the king smiling.
‘Where on earth are you… and what are you doing…!!’
But as always, no voice came out.
Seeing Taehyeon like that, the king opened his mouth.
Every word he said was stuck in my head.
“It was human, but it wasn’t human. “It wasn’t a monster, but it was more like a monster than anyone else.”
The flame, which was once red, turned blue.
“I thought I could end this evil relationship if I became the conqueror of the Abyss.”
The blue flame turned white.
“I wish you would take a different path from me.”
The pure white flame turned black.
yet.
“Don’t set limits for yourself. “Go beyond the limitations of being human and go beyond the Great Duke.”
The king’s whole body was engulfed in dark red flames.
Hahahahaha.
Even Beelzebub, who had been seen in Rosaria’s memories, was busy screaming as the flames rose up.
Red. Blue. White. Black color. Dark red.
It was a flame as colorful as the various colors and as hot as the various colors.
Baal burst into flames and released his breath.
Magic power so great that it feels as if the Abyss is vibrating.
The corners of the king’s mouth rose as he faced that magical power.
“good.”
Grumbling.
The fire rising from the king’s body became stronger.
Some of the intensified flames transferred to Taehyun.
“Go and complete your journey. Taehyun Kim.”
There was a loud noise.
The space trembled and the red sky began to collapse.
It is the power that stopped Baal and made even the princes of the Underworld tremble with fear.
But for Taehyun, that power is.
It was a flame that was warmer and more comforting than anything else.
Tiring.
[A great power awakens.]
[The level is readjusted.]
It seemed like a voice like that was coming from somewhere.
* * *
Taehyun opened his eyes.
I could tell it was Rosaria’s castle just from the open ceiling.
‘I feel like I’m losing my mind too often these days…’
That’s what I thought as I got up.
This was something that could not have happened on Earth.
This is because there are not many players or magicians left who can even touch Taehyun.
If it weren’t for anti-aircraft contractor Cody Cruz or Kassim Jort Min Jihong Asisat Ebi, even the five sums wouldn’t have been able to endure.
Whenever Taehyun comes to Abyss, he is pushed to the limit.
The Archduke is also the Archduke.
The big thing is that there are still quite a few monsters that surpass Taehyeon.
‘For stable growth, we have to deal with SSS level monsters.’
It was also the reason why we had to settle the affairs of Earth as soon as possible and move to the Abyss.
‘Still, my stats have increased a lot in a short period of time.’
Originally, the reason Taehyun visited the Abyss was for Beelzebub’s blood.
But Rosaria, Beelzebub, and Igmun.
By intertwining with the three great dukes, his stats increased significantly.
Now, it seemed like it would be a good idea to go out on a proper hunt for descendants rather than SSS-level monsters.
Is that all?
‘It wasn’t a dream.’
Taehyun’s awakened rating, which had been at S for a long time, had risen to SS.
It was time to take a good look at the status window.
[You’ve been lying down for quite a while this time.]
Slurp.
Before I knew it, Rosaria’s tentacles had approached and wrapped around my body.
Taehyun shivered involuntarily at the unfamiliar touch.
[Hehe. It’s like seeing a cute puppy.]
“You say scary things so casually.”
Taehyun said that and tried to move his body.
Beelzebub’s limbs were blown off and regenerated repeatedly.
The last one was clearly a body that represented the devil race among monsters, but Taehyun’s body had returned to its original state as if it had never happened before.
‘Will it return to its original state over time?’
That was different from Min Ji-hong, who accepted the body of a monster.
While I was thinking that, Rosaria opened her mouth with a sober expression.
[Huh. You made a pretty bold plan. Did you not trust the original woman?]
‘Did you read her memories?’
No matter how good Taehyun’s recovery was, it was not a wound that could be healed with time.
The reason he was able to move now was because Rosaria injected him with magical energy to restore him.
It’s like reading Taehyun’s memories after he fainted.
Because it would be nothing to her.
“No way. Igmun and Beelzebub. “I just decided that it would be beneficial to weaken the power of both guys at the same time.”
Taehyun answered as if it was no big deal.
She knew it too.
It’s not that he doesn’t trust himself, he just chose the side that is more beneficial to the turf war.
Still, the reason I feel this way is probably because I see the king’s image in Taehyun.
[I’m a contractor. I will be sad when you die.]
“…?”
[You won’t have the courage to see the king in the future.]
“Well…”
‘That’s your situation.’
Taehyun didn’t bother to say anything.
[so. I had an income, but your purpose seems to have failed?]
Rosaria drew a line in the air with her hand.
A crack appeared in space and a subspace gate opened.
Toouk.
The arm of Beelzebub that Taehyun was carrying fell.
[It is truly an unclean arm. Bringing this would have been the next best thing, right?]
“Yes.”
Taehyun admitted obediently and placed his hand on Beelzebub’s arm.
Chi profit.
Purple magic bloomed and poison seeped into my fingertips.
It seemed like Beelzebub was showing off his courage with just one arm.
‘You managed to bring something like this.’
Taehyun clicked his tongue and took his hand away.
Because the situation was so urgent, I picked it up even though I knew it was going to hurt my body.
However, if I were to ask him to hold it again now, it was a presence that I wanted to refuse.
[This is truly poisonous. You brought this well.]
Rosaria also frowned as if she was seeing something dirty, as if Taehyun’s thoughts were different.
“Don’t be like that. “If I hadn’t been able to save this, it would have been dark.”
Perhaps it was a bigger harvest than previously thought.
It would be easier for research to have a whole arm rather than a few drops of blood.
‘I might faint if I see this in Alchemist.’
It is the arm of the Archduke.
If they were crazy about research, they might discover things that Taehyun couldn’t see.
[So what are you going to do with it?]
“I’ll have to take it to Earth. “I’m going to hand it over to the good guys.”
Sufficient materials were provided.
An Alchemist led by Seo Sang-ik would have been able to achieve results quickly.
but.
[It’s impossible.]
Rosaria said with a stern expression.
Taehyun tilted his head at the unexpected reaction.
Rather, I thought she would be happy to get rid of something she didn’t want to see.
[You are mistaken. What the woman is saying is that you can’t cross the gate with that hideous thing. At most, I can take it to the deep level.]
“…!!”
At that moment, Asisat Ebi’s words appeared in Taehyun’s mind.
It is said that the stronger the magic power of the anti-aircraft contractor, the higher the level of monsters that can come to Earth.
“Are you saying you can’t even get over one arm like this?”
[It’s only one arm. The contractor is looking at the ‘Law of the Abyss’ too lightly.]
“Law of the Abyss?”
[Hmph.]
Rosaria’s expression turned strange again.
“Of course you don’t want to tell me.”
[Don’t be sad. You will find out little by little.]
“It can’t be.”
These were not empty words.
Taehyun really wasn’t sad.
Because I already found a great information book called Asisat Ebi.
‘I’ll have to see you again soon.’
I came to New Korea after saying I would contact you again.
It occurred to me that the use of her might be more than I expected.
[So what are you going to do? Just in case, I’m telling you, it won’t be of any use if you drain the blood from that arm.]
“What? why?”
Taehyun, embarrassed, asked back.
In fact, if it was not possible to carry the arm as is, they tried to take a separate piece of skin or muscle.
However, Rosaria just laughed without answering.
Taehyun, who was always confident, was embarrassed, and it was a lot of fun for her.
‘Rosaria would never lie about something like this.’
Taehyun quietly looked at the arm that was emitting venom.
If you feast, there will definitely be a significant stat increase.
But not for that.
‘It’s such a waste.’
It was like trading Taehyun’s stats for a vaccine against gray disease.
Unless the gray disease is solved, the demons will make a fuss, which will cause a setback in future plans.
However, visiting Beelzebub again would be absolutely crazy.
‘A trick doesn’t work twice.’
This time, there was a strong possibility that the guy also gritted his teeth and strengthened his defenses.
It was when Taehyun was struggling with such thoughts.
[good night. We have achieved a great victory thanks to you, so please help us. Devote his arm.]
Taehyun sighed at the disappointing answer.
“That doesn’t help much.”
[Why do you want to use Beelzebub’s?]
“What…?”
[Did you say Venom? The guy you defeated.]
Taehyun nodded.
[The contractor has grown incomparably since then. Probably, if the past you can be defeated.]
Rosaria looked into Taehyeon’s eyes for a moment and continued.
[Wouldn’t you be closer to Beelzebub’s family now? If you are the current contractor, you will be able to use some of the power just by feasting on that monster.]
“…!!”
* * *
Quad deuk. Quad deuk.
The magic power of devouring tore off Beelzebub’s arm.
I feel satisfied with the delicacy after a long time.
The predator was devouring every single poisonous finger.
‘Predatory guy. It seems like you’re chewing more carefully than usual.’
This is when Taehyun is thinking thoughts that do not fit the situation.
The message I was waiting for came to mind.
Tiring.
[A portion of the ‘Poison of the Source’ has been consumed. Resistance to poison increases.]
[You have feasted on ‘enormous magical power.’ Stamina increases by 10.]
[You have feasted on ‘huge magical power.’ Magic power increases by 10.]
[The magic power of the summoning skill Beelzebub (SS) is readjusted.] [
The general skill Paralysis (SS) has been re-registered.]
[The general skill Paralysis (SS) has been changed to Devil’s Saliva (SS). changed to.]
“…!!”
My eyes opened wide at the superior effect.
I was aware to some extent that the stats would increase and the magic power of the summoning skill would be readjusted.
But the skill ‘Paralysis’ used to create Apocalypse has been re-registered?
It doesn’t stop there.
‘It’s registered as a new skill?’
Calming my trembling heart.
Taehyun hurriedly opened the status window.
