Episode 247:
Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Taehyun swatted away the tentacle of purple magical power.
Even though I was receiving Apocalypse’s buff, my wrist was throbbing.
‘It’s the first time I think about it.’
Fighting with the grown Yoo Ah-young like this and dealing with Rosaria’s tentacles embodied in Ah-young’s body.
Yoo Ah-young was a top S-rank player until a little while ago.
The magic power was steadily increasing just by using Rosaria’s power.
Before I knew it, its power had reached a level suitable for a monster rather than a player.
SS-rank monsters, not SS-rank players.
‘At least I’ve surpassed Yoo Ah-young in my previous life by a long way.’
Because of her regression, Ayoung’s life also changed a lot.
It remains to be seen whether the ending will be a comedy or a tragedy.
‘Whatever.’
If Ayoung is the one using the power of an SS-class monster, the story is different.
Crack.
Taehyun blocked Ayoung’s fist, which embodied the gauntlet.
At the same time, the tentacle behind his back swung, aiming for Taehyun’s face.
Huh. Huh. Huh.
The three tentacles swung at an incredible speed.
It was also an angle that Taehyun would have had a hard time avoiding if it weren’t for his ‘high-ranking eyes’.
‘It is understandable that Kassim Zort suffered.’
If it has this much power.
If it weren’t for the divine power he showed in the labyrinth, he wouldn’t have been able to do much either.
I was thinking about that while avoiding the tentacles.
Pow!
Suddenly, magical power exploded near Taehyun’s shoulder.
The moment her red eyes flashed, her skill ‘Amazone’s Awesomeness’ was activated.
‘That’s tricky.’
When human technology is added to the power of a monster, the power is multiplied, not doubled.
Moreover, the power that Ayoung uses is not that of an ordinary SS-level monster, but the power of an anti-aircraft gun.
It was a magic control that would not be strange even for a mature anti-aircraft contractor.
‘Surprisingly, we are a good match.’
Pow. Pow. Pow.
A series of explosions occurred where her red eyes were illuminated.
A saint, of course.
It seemed that the power of the late Zhang Linfeng and Ricky Harlis had already been surpassed.
‘I would believe it if you said he was a real contractor from Rosaria.’
The extent to which one can usually read the other person’s mind or create an opening.
Taehyun’s use of Rosaria’s power was just that.
There have been several battles that have crossed the line of fire against those of high rank.
In order to use mental skills, it was essential to relieve the opponent’s power.
Therefore, most battles took place in close combat.
On the other hand, Ayoung’s use of power was different from Taehyun’s.
More primitive.
‘There is no hesitation.’
Moreover, Ayoung’s red eyes also have the same effect as the ‘eyes of a higher species’.
Like Taehyun, he was reading and reacting to the attack timing like a ghost.
‘He acted like a slob to me. Are you giving everything to Yoo Ah-young?’
Quang!
Taehyun caught Ayoung’s fist that was aiming for his face.
and.
Tiring.
[Skill Dark Apostle (SS) has been activated. Specifies the shape.]
Ssssss.
A black dagger was created in Taehyun’s other hand.
at the same time.
Suddenly.
An unknown dagger cut Ayoung’s hand.
She frowned and stepped back.
“It looks like you don’t have any regenerative abilities?”
Taehyun asked, throwing her severed hand into the corner.
“Baby… what are you doing to a lady?”
Contrary to what was said, there didn’t seem to be much of a shock.
licking.
Ayoung licked her bleeding wrist.
For a moment, I hope purple magic will dwell in the cut area.
The bleeding soon stopped.
Taehyun, who was watching the scene indifferently, aimed his dagger at him.
“If you don’t have the power of a saint. “I guess I’ll have to live as a one-armed person from today.”
“….”
Whoever is moving that body right now is Rosaria or Ayeong.
Even if it were true that the saint was a failure, it was a warning not to mess with it.
From today, she will become Taehyun’s property.
Ayoung read Taehyun’s thoughts.
“I’m jealous~”
Ayoung frowned and released her magic.
Purple magical energy took the shape of a severed hand.
“Let’s finish this quickly. That power. “It won’t be useful for long.”
Ssssssut.
Taehyun, who said that, canceled the ‘Apostle of Darkness’.
The dagger in my hand disappeared.
Ayoung’s red eyes narrowed as she watched.
“what do you mean?”
“I’ll give you a chance. “I’ll handle the last draw.”
The tenacity and reflex speed that Ayoung is showing right now are not human.
I couldn’t tell what kind of backlash would occur if I tried to suppress it half-heartedly.
‘More than anything.’
If you don’t cut off the roots, the same thing may happen again.
‘It’s done in one go.’
New Korean ancient martial arts 3rd form.
Gold was used and dark red magical power was applied over it.
The corners of Ayoung’s mouth rose as she watched.
He realized that Taehyun was sincere.
“Will you regret it?”
“You only get one chance. “I can’t take responsibility for what happens next.”
The number of tentacles that Ayoung wields has increased to six.
at the same time.
Puff poop poop.
The tentacle, which had been reduced in volume, got stuck in Taehyun’s body.
A stream of fresh blood flowed from the mouth.
“It stings.”
“Hehe. “If you’re bluffing, it’s cute~”
Ayoung used her tentacles to pull Taehyun in.
It’s time to mock the confidence that dares to show off in front of you.
Tiring.
[Skill Devil’s Saliva (SS) has been activated.]
“…!!”
Chi profit. Chii Iik.
Purple magical power bloomed from Taehyun’s body.
The poisonous magic power began to melt the purple tentacles.
Ayoung’s body was shocked by the unexpected power.
This is the moment when she tries to pull her body back.
Wow.
“Where?”
“…!!”
Taehyun’s hand grabbed Ayoung’s neck.
As Ayoung’s other tentacle tries to target Taehyeon’s neck.
Sigh. Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
The chain that was targeting prey entangled the tentacles.
It was a ‘chain of restraint’ materialized through magical power without the use of skills.
Wow. Crash.
Ayoung’s body, which had belatedly unleashed its skills, began to shake to free itself from the chains.
However, Taehyun’s skills had already reached a level where even SS+ level monsters could not solve them.
Quad deuk. Crack.
The ‘chains of restraint’ were gradually breaking her body.
“baby…!!”
Ayoung shouted, spitting out blood.
Taehyun covered her mouth with his other hand.
and.
The moment when two people’s eyes met.
Tiring.
[Skill Ataraxia (SS) has been activated. Specify the target. Magic power consumption accelerates.]
“Look into my eyes. Yoo Ah-young.”
“…!!”
Hahahahaha.
Purple magical energy enveloped the two people.
* * *
In Ayoung’s imagined world, there were many high-rise buildings.
When I entered there.
The first feeling I felt was loneliness.
‘You could call it a forest of buildings.’
The tallest among many buildings.
A huge tentacle that had swallowed up a skyscraper touching the sky was visible.
“What are you doing there?”
Taehyun is a small woman at the end of the tentacle.
I asked, looking up at Rosaria in the distance.
[Hehehe. It looks like the seed has finally bloomed.]
“It’s a seed…”
[Yes. I implanted some of my power in her. You don’t like it?]
You don’t like it?
My face naturally frowned.
“I would have told you not to touch my person.”
Taehyun spoke in a crooked manner like never before.
[You look so angry. Weren’t you a child who didn’t care? [Did she just stimulate his suppressed desires?]
It was an innocent question, as if he really didn’t know.
“Rosaria. “It is none of your concern.”
As Taehyun said those words, power naturally filled his eyes.
anger. Or fighting spirit.
He is feeling that way towards a being far stronger than himself.
[Hehe. Those are nice eyes to look at. “Shouldn’t you have paid that much attention a long time ago?”
Rosaria narrowed her eyes as she said that.
Wiggle.
One of the countless tentacles moved.
At the end of it was the unconscious body of Ayoung.
It used power similar to that of an anti-aircraft contractor with only the power of a single tentacle.
“Don’t do anything strange. “Free me.”
It was an order, not a request.
If Rosaria refuses, we have even calculated how to properly fight here.
[That’s difficult.]
“That’s surprising.”
Quaaaaa.
Dark red magical energy bloomed from Taehyun’s body.
It’s not like I’ve saved it like I did when I was dealing with Ayoung a little while ago.
He showed his full potential just like when he was active in Abyss.
“No matter how much you do, it won’t be easy.”
This is not the Taehyun of the past.
At least here in the world of imagination, it was worth a try.
[You’re excited.]
“No jokes.”
Even at this moment, Ayoung’s body must be collapsing as a result of dealing with excessive force.
If I didn’t hurry, I might have to spend another long time in the intensive care unit.
‘I guess I’ll have to melt the tentacles first.’
It’s time for Taehyun to use his newly acquired power of Beelzebub.
[Remove that poisonous power and calm down. This is also for the contractor. Didn’t you say that Orgal and Beelzebub’s contractors were enemies?]
“Put it easy.”
[Because I feel like I’m paying attention to things there and neglecting the ‘turf war’. Wouldn’t you also feel relieved if there was at least one human who accepted my power?]
“….”
It’s not wrong.
In fact, Ayoung single-handedly drove out Kassim Zort.
If she was just a moment ago.
‘It will definitely fill my empty spot.’
The risk is that you may not be of sound mind.
“It’s difficult to gain power by risking your life.”
Can you use that power without damaging your mind and body?
What Taehyun wanted to ask was that point.
[Isn’t that the same for contractors? You are trying to carry all the burden by yourself.]
“….”
Rosaria returned exactly what Taehyun had said to Jinhee Ji.
She continued.
[You have plenty of potential to become my contractor. You look at that child too easily.]
“She is a woman who would be in trouble for being a failure.”
Yoshikawa Tsurara is also one of the world’s leading players.
Even such a woman could not accept Rosaria’s power and could not become a complete contractee.
It is said that Yoo Ah-young’s potential is great.
That’s right, he’s about an SS level player.
It was natural for Taehyun to react like this.
[Don’t worry. Doesn’t it seem like we are at least a better match than that kid?]
“Even so, I don’t understand. “You have me.”
Even if Taehyun uses the power of other archdukes.
The official contractor was Rosaria.
One contractor per archduke.
There is no way she could escape that law.
[I’m a contractor. How long do you think you can be with me?]
“…?”
That’s when Taehyun was about to ask what he meant.
[Let’s talk about the details slowly. A guest just happened to arrive here too.]
“What are
you saying….” [Please come back quickly.]
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?
Taehyun’s body was sucked into purple magic power.
When I open my eyes again.
I saw the saint and Ah-yeong, completely devastated.
It seemed like the current situation needed to be resolved first.
Tiring.
[Skill Energy Drain (SS) has been activated. Specifies the target.]
Pu pup puk.
The thinned magical power became lodged in the saint’s body.
Expulsion, not absorption.
Now, this level of control was no big deal.
Taehyun injected Igmun’s magic into her.
“Uh…”
It wasn’t long before the saint came to consciousness.
The physical wounds seemed to have completely recovered thanks to the ‘ultra-fast regeneration’ activated by injecting magical power.
“Are you okay?”
“…!!”
The saintess looked very surprised when she saw Taehyun’s face.
“Kim Tae-hyun…player….”
I looked at the saintly woman who was shaking.
He looked like a psychopath from the past.
‘Could Yoo Ah-young also be like this?’
The more I thought about it, the more ambiguous it seemed.
but.
For now, resolving the situation came first.
Taehyun approached the saint and held out his hand.
“Yoshikawa Tsurara player.”
“yes yes…!!”
“Would you like to be secret friends with me?”
“yes…?”
It was an unexpected suggestion, though.
The saint’s answer was predetermined.
