Episode 285
With the message that a huge amount of magic power has been devoured.
Many stats have increased.
There was the head of the giants kneeling in front of him.
[Why?]
Erebos asked as he looked at his torn limbs.
The power element of the giants.
Strengthening the power of the Demonic Beasts.
Even though he used two powers, he was defeated.
It was an inexcusable defeat, and Erebos clearly acknowledged that fact.
The insidious power that Taehyun has been hiding all along.
This is because I realized where the source of ‘predation’ came from.
Of course, it is not inferior to the power of the archdukes.
The power of the one who placed all that power under his feet.
If it’s as Taehyun showed with ‘Apocalypse’ and ‘Memorize’.
He had to become a sacrifice to resurrect the Giant King.
But why?
Does it just stop at this level?
[Are you looking at me funny?]
Erebos asked.
Numerous dream demons are watching from the front, and giants are watching from the back.
Thinking back on what Taehyun had done so far, it wasn’t surprising that it was an act meant to humiliate him.
However.
“No way.”
Taehyun shook his head and said that sincerely.
The game has already been decided.
Erebos knelt down and gave his life for the revival of the giants.
Predating Erebos in such a situation.
‘That’s stupid.’
Even if Taehyeon devours all of Erebos’ body, the stats he can gain are limited.
So, just follow the original plan.
It is beneficial to solidify the ruling system and then place the giants underfoot.
‘If you become more greedy.’
It would also have been impossible to manipulate the giants who were spewing ferocious murderous energy behind them.
There are limits to loyalty that can be suppressed by force.
You have to win my heart.
Even if it is a monster rather than a human.
Taehyun was the type of person who thought that way.
‘The stat increase has been sufficient.’
As a result of using so many skills, my physical condition is not good.
I haven’t checked the status window yet, but I could tell just by feeling the energy.
That he has once again achieved great growth.
It has become a being comparable to the highest level of monsters.
Not compulsory like in Beelzebub or Jormungand.
It is a result achieved arbitrarily.
So I was even more proud.
“Erebos. “I don’t know if my sincerity was conveyed well.”
[….]
Erebos was silent, as if lost in thought.
He was so lost in thought that he seemed to have forgotten about the regeneration of his limbs.
There was silence on the battlefield.
gulp.
Muron and the dying Aether, who were watching, swallowed dry saliva.
The giants and dream demons watching from both sides were no different.
You know it.
According to Erebos’ answer here.
Their fate is determined by Taehyun’s attitude.
Erebos’ silence did not last long.
[Is everything you showed true?]
The title for Taehyun has changed from you.
The corners of Taehyun’s mouth rose as he knew what that meant.
“Think about that on your own. “What is the answer?”
[…You’re giving me trouble.]
Erebos snorted.
Taehyun used two skills.
He infiltrated the mind with ‘Ataraxia’ and regenerated the recorded memories with ‘Memorize’.
There was some ‘exaggeration’ and ‘directing’ depending on Taehyun’s intention.
The essence of what I wanted to convey was clear.
Resurrect the giant king Typhon and lead the turf war to victory.
Inherit the power of the king and lead the tribal war to victory.
There is no way that meaning was not conveyed to Erebos.
[I saw your ambition well.]
Quadeuk. Quad deuk.
Pazzzzzzzzzz.
For a moment, sparks flew from Erebos’ body.
The torn limbs began to regenerate.
[You guy…!!]
Muron, who had been watching the whole time, showed signs of speculation.
It was thought that Erebos was about to start the battle again.
but.
[Giant is Kim Tae-hyun. I will follow you.]
Erebos, whose limbs had been regenerated, fell flat.
and.
Cooung.
The huge head was slammed to the floor.
He swore obedience just as he had done to Orgal in the past.
The difference from then is that it was not forced by force.
The difference was that it was an arbitrary action.
And following Erebos.
Cooung. Cooung. Cooung. Cooung.
All the giants who were watching, including Aeter, took the same posture.
A gigantic race that appears only in mythology.
It didn’t feel too bad to receive their oath of obedience.
“Today’s promise. “You won’t be disappointed.”
Taehyun said as if he was making a promise.
Tiring.
[Skill Memorize (S) has been activated. ‘Fragments of a tribal war’ were recorded.]
It was a bonus to smile at the pleasant message.
* * *
The castle was successful.
This is because the dream demons did not suffer any damage when faced with the giants led by Erebos.
Taehyeon and Muron, who went into battle, suffered quite a few injuries.
As befits those with the power of the highest class, they showed monstrous resilience and the 5th Star had a festival atmosphere.
[This battle is just the beginning!! Everyone, brace your defenses!!]
Muron shouted sharply at the released dream demons.
[Cawl.]
[Muron, I’m so scared. Cawl.]
[Cawl. We also want to rest.]
[I miss Rosaria. Caught.]
[Caught. Me too.]
[These….]
This is when Muron is about to shout again at his still indifferent subordinates.
“It’s okay. “For about today.”
Taehyun, who had finished recovering, said with a smile.
Tae-hyeon’s appearance heated up the atmosphere of the Dream Clan.
[Kim Tae-hyun….]
Muron only gritted his teeth as he watched, but couldn’t say anything.
Because I know.
This war is all Taehyun’s fault.
Without Taehyun, the 5th castle would not only have been taken over by the giants, but would have been massacred.
[Damn it.]
Muron cursed softly.
It was to myself, not to anyone else.
Taehyun, who thought he was beyond his power, incorporated the giants into his power without a single casualty.
[This is how you are disqualified from being the lord of the castle.]
“There is nothing to blame yourself too much for. Because Erebos was a monster.”
Taehyun said this while looking at the giants resting outside the castle.
[Is it someone like a human who can comfort me?]
Sting.
Muron showed hostility with a murderous face.
How childlike he looked.
“It’s a mockery, you idiot.”
[You guy…!!]
Taehyun laughed at the sight of Muron showing off his fierce speculation.
However, he received recognition from Erebos, whom he met as an enemy.
This is because I thought I did not receive recognition from my ally, Muron.
[Myuron is angry!!]
[Caught up!! Why are you taking out your anger on us?]
[Everyone jumps and cries.]
The dream demons, unable to withstand Muron’s fighting spirit, hid in a corner of the castle.
“Just right.”
While saying that, I looked around.
The only ones left were Taehyun and Muron.
You will have to return to Rosaria’s true nature after a while.
The only time I can take the time to resolve my relationship with Muron is now.
“Muron. “You still know that I am the commander of this castle, right?”
[You bastard…]
“Give the final command.”
[What kind of trick are you trying to pull?
]
Even before I finished saying that.
“Try to break me.”
[You think I can’t do it!!]
Purple magical power bloomed from Muron’s body.
He realized what Taehyun wanted to do.
How dare you challenge the dream demons with mental control?
[I’ll make you lick my feet.]
“That’s not bad either.”
Tiring.
[Skill Ataraxia (SS) has been activated. Specifies the target.]
“Of course, it would be impossible.”
With a bitter laugh.
Each piece of purple magical power was united into one.
* * *
[Kahak….]
Muron let out a groan mixed with pain.
Grrrr.
My arms and legs were shaking.
No, it’s not just my body that’s shaking.
The spirit of the highest level monster was trembling.
The overwhelming fear and dread that can only be felt before the Great Battle.
It was the result of those forgotten emotions taking over my mind.
“Is it because they are a dream demon tribe? “You lasted a long time?”
Taehyun said indifferently, looking down at Muron.
It’s as if he’s looking at the sewage rather than himself.
Nevertheless, Muron could not say anything.
As I look at Taehyun smiling, I am reminded of the monster I encountered in the mental world a little while ago.
“There’s nothing to be too scared of. “That guy is something that not even the Archduke can do anything about.”
Even the Archduke can’t do anything.
Muron got tired of Taehyun saying those words so casually.
I finally found out.
Why does Rosaria cherish the contractor so much?
How was it possible for the Mongma tribe, who had been struggling to maintain their castle until now, to start a turf war?
[Have you always harbored such a being?…]
Muron’s tone had suddenly become more polite.
Taehyun laughed out loud at the quick change of stance.
There are some, like Erebos, who can’t do it with strength.
There are bound to be some who give in to such overwhelming power.
“It’s going to be busy going forward. There will be a battle ahead that you cannot handle alone. “We will have to join forces with Erebos.”
It is said that he swore obedience to Taehyun.
To join forces with another species, the giants.
Those were words that were like humiliation for a top-class monster.
Nevertheless.
“What is the answer?”
[I will follow.]
Muron did not hesitate at all in response to Taehyeon’s question.
In a different sense from Erebos.
It was absolute submission.
* * *
Tiring.
[Skill Gate Apostle (SS) has been activated. [Specify the location.]
This is the nature of Rosaria, which I have visited several times already.
Calculating the coordinates wasn’t difficult.
Pazzzzz ie.
Sparks flew from Taehyun’s body after crossing the gate.
It just moved from the deepest layer to the deepest layer.
Nevertheless, it felt like my whole body was being weighed down by the laws of the Abyss.
[You’re back.] As
soon as I crossed the gate, I heard Rosaria’s voice.
“okay.”
[The more I look at him, the more amazing he is. [He has become more dignified in just a moment.]
Rosaria, noticing Taehyun’s change, raised the corner of her mouth.
I knew that I had succeeded in getting to Mercury without even having to ask.
It seems like it’s great.
One of Rosaria’s tentacles stroked Taehyeon’s head.
Taehyun grabbed the tentacle and pulled it down.
“I have a lot to tell you.”
[Hehe. I’m shy. Come closer.]
Taehyun and Rosaria looked at each other.
[Suddenly, his eyes were deep enough to make her heart flutter.]
“That’s a terrible sound.”
Taehyun ignored her words and opened his magic.
Purple magical power blooms.
‘Ataraxia’ was activated once again.
* * *
[Giants… they made an interesting move.]
“When Typhon is resurrected, we will need strength.”
[It sounds like the resurrection has already been successful.]
“Isn’t it?”
[Ahahahaha.]
Rosaria laughed at Taehyun’s confidence.
The place where Typhon’s body is sealed is Orgal’s second castle.
Of course, there are many top-level monsters and high-level monsters.
This is a place that Orgal can visit if he wants to, even if he takes into account many risks.
A castle that not even the Grand Duke dares to enter without permission in case something goes wrong.
A person talks about such a place so casually.
[It seems like the only person who makes the main woman laugh is the contractor.]
“High risk, high return. “Now that we have the giants in our hands, there is no need to delay our plans any longer.”
Taehyun shrugged his shoulders and answered.
[Even with the 2-star monsters, you will have to catch Orgal’s attention to completely remove Typhon’s body.] It is
not good that Rosaria is already moving.
Igmun and Beelzebub will be waiting for an opportunity.
In other words, he couldn’t expect any help from her.
[Of course there must be a good plan, right?]
Rosaria asked with a smile.
A way to awaken the sealed body of Typhon by diverting the attention of the 2-star monster and Orgal.
It’s a situation that makes me dizzy just listening to it.
“what.”
This is Taehyeon, who has lived for decades in the new Korea where other countries are concerned.
“It’s easy.”
The adaptability was not much different even at the deepest level.
