Episode 294
Taehyun and Rosaria looked at each other and burst into laughter.
It’s like the castle is occupied by uninvited guests even though there is no owner.
Even though I was completely injured, I couldn’t help but laugh.
‘Up to this point, everything goes according to plan.’
This was my intention ever since I made the plan to invade Orgal’s 2nd castle and resurrect Typhon.
A heart capable of moving the Archduke’s body.
There was no way it could be completed by simply grinding the powerful magic stones into a few high-ranking and top-ranking species.
[You worked hard.]
“I said.”
Taehyun didn’t necessarily reject Rosaria’s praise.
This is because, as the saying goes, it was not easy to infiltrate this place while maintaining ‘secret’.
It would have been perfect if the work had begun without attracting the attention of the top species.
In the end, it was not a bad result.
Of course, the best situation is after they wake Typhon up by themselves.
It was to summon Rosaria, who was engaged in combat with Orgal.
The plan was progressing as expected.
Rosaria looked at the magicite being created in Orgal’s chest cavity.
Even though she can’t see the progress of the quest.
[I can’t believe it’s already half full. It’s more than I thought.]
He showed the delicacy of immediately noticing the lack of magical power.
“Can you fill in the rest?”
Taehyun asked while examining Rosaria’s physical condition.
I don’t know if it was before.
I know how Igmun and Beelzebub fought.
It was not difficult to guess how she would have gained time against a guy whose mind control was not effective.
[Hehe. You look down on your real wife too much.]
Taehyun sighed as he saw her still answering confidently.
Rosaria is also a grand duke.
That pride didn’t go anywhere.
‘We need to reserve a little more of her strength just in case.’
After organizing his thoughts, Taehyun opened his magic power.
“Stay there.”
[Hmm?]
Tiring.
[Skill Monster Heart (SS) has been activated.]
[Skill Energy Drain (SS) has been activated. Search for target.]
Gheeeeee.
For a moment, I hope that a magic stone will form in a corner of Taehyun’s heart.
Pazzzzzzzzzz.
Dark red magical power spread out around.
It took less than 10 minutes for the magic that escaped through the broken passage to fully explore the vast castle.
‘About 100 of them.’
There were more entities alive than expected.
Maybe they were the ones who arrived late.
Anyway.
‘thank you.’
Now, each and every one of them was good prey for Taehyun.
[Hoo. Manipulation of magical power has become more precise than before.]
Rosaria, who realized what Taehyun was trying to do, looked pleased.
It was like a teacher rejoicing in his student’s accomplishments.
“Say.”
Tiring.
[Skill Energy Drain (SS) has been strengthened. Magic power consumption accelerates.]
Tsuzuzuzuzu.
Taehyeon’s body absorbed the magic power of the remaining remains in the castle, and that magic power was injected into completing Typhon’s magic stone.
All over the castle, high-ranking monsters withered and died without knowing why.
So another 10 minutes.
When all the magical power of the remaining monsters in the castle was absorbed.
The progress of the quest had risen to 75 percent.
“Phew….”
Taehyun exhaled once again.
As if summoning Rosaria wasn’t enough, he used ‘Energy Drain’ excessively.
Even though fatigue was minimized with the ‘heart of a higher species’, subordinates slowly enveloped the body.
[That’s enough, contractor. From now on, I will let the main lady finish it.]
Taehyeon obediently retreated at Rosaria’s words.
As she said, she did everything she could in Taehyun’s line.
Quaaaaa.
Purple magical power overflowed from Rosaria’s body.
‘Did he still have this much strength left after dealing with Orgal?’
Taehyun didn’t show anything and watched as Rosaria’s tentacles wrapped around Typhon’s magic stone.
Tsuzzzzzzzz.
The plump tentacle withered little by little as its magic power was taken away by the magic stone.
The progress of the quest seemed to increase rapidly in proportion to that.
A magic stone that could not be completed even though the highest and highest species were replaced countless times.
It was a moment when I felt once again what a gap there was between the Grand Duke and the top class.
Also, suddenly.
‘How did Rosaria, a dream demon, obtain this power?’
I had a doubt.
And the answer is why.
‘It seems like it might have something to do with the king.’
Taehyun didn’t even think about that for a moment.
Tiring.
[Progress: 100%]
[Quest is completed.]
[Quest rewards are registered.]
[The magic power of the summoning skill Typhon (SS) is changed.]
The message that was waiting appeared in front of me.
I saw Typhon’s chest, which had a huge hole in it.
There was a huge magic stone filled with a mixture of dark red and purple magical energy.
Quad deud deuk.
Flesh began to sprout from the areas with holes around the magic stone.
The body is responding to the magical power supplied by the new magic stone.
[It was a body that was not completely dead from the beginning. It was at a level where someone among the Archdukes could bring it back to life at any time if they wanted to. Of course, if it weren’t for you, no one would have thought that way.]
None of the archdukes had any intention of saving their lives.
It seemed clear what that meant.
“You look unconscious?”
Taehyun asked, listening to her words.
[It seems like the power of existence has returned. To awaken consciousness, the power of the ‘Contractor’ will be needed.]
Currently, Typhon is nothing more than a lump of magical power in the shape of a giant.
‘The power of the contractor.’
I thought I knew what that meant.
There is no way the magic power would have changed just because it was a quest reward.
I looked at the status window.
The magic power needed to summon Typhon was adjusted to perfectly match Taehyun’s magic power.
The status window doesn’t lie.
And in all this will.
‘No name.’
I know he’s playing a trick.
Taehyun then tore up the last scroll he had left behind.
Wow.
In an instant, all the magical power in my body was restored.
Tiring.
[Summoning skill Typhon (SS) has been activated.]
Deddeuddud.
For a moment, let the lowest level of the castle shake.
Typhon’s huge red eyes opened.
and.
[Contractor!!]
At the same time Rosaria shouted.
Kwaang!!
A huge hand struck down where Taehyun was.
* * *
Taehyun narrowly avoided the attack.
‘Higher Species Eyes’ is being activated in ‘Higher Species Heart’.
It wasn’t that difficult.
More than anything.
‘Slow.’
Even if Rosaria did not shout, the speed of the attack was not fast.
Typhon’s hand moved again.
It’s still a slow movement.
[You still can’t tell the difference between a friend and a friend and use your strength first.]
Rosaria clicked her tongue.
“Stop. Typhon.”
Taehyun said that while dodging his hand.
However, it doesn’t seem like such a thing is heard.
Pazzzzzzzzzz.
The large body was wrapped in lightning.
[Tsk tsk.]
Rosaria, who was watching, retreated from a distance and prepared a counterattack
.
“for a moment.”
Taehyun blocked Rosaria’s attack.
[Why are you doing that?]
“It’s strange.”
I could see it clearly in my eyes.
Although it is said to have breathed life into it.
It is a body that has been sealed for a long time without being able to die.
Moreover, the magical power is supplied by artificially created magic stones that are not even mine.
It was surprising that it wasn’t flowing back.
Pow. Pow.
thud. Cooung.
Parts of the body exploded and parts of the body fell to the ground.
It was the price of trying to use power with an imperfect body.
Is it unfortunate or fortunate?
“Is high-speed playback alive and well?”
Taehyun, who had distanced himself from Rosaria, looked at Typhon, who had started playing.
[If things continue like this, it will only hinder the plan.]
It was just as Rosaria said.
Burglary from empty houses cannot last forever.
Even at this very moment, Orgal would be coming with his troops.
Due to the sudden disappearance of Rosaria and the resurrected Typhon, the anger was even greater than before.
“I don’t think we can handle it with our current power.”
Taehyun muttered as he glanced at Rosaria, who looked unusually tired.
An exhausted archduke and a former archduke who has just come back to life and is neither mentally nor physically intact.
Likewise, Taehyun is tired from dealing with two top-ranking species.
Being surrounded by Orgal’s large army would be the worst.
[Come to your senses, T-Fon!! You don’t even remember the original woman’s face?!!]
Rosaria rarely shouted.
However, Typhon was still struggling to use his powers, repeatedly exploding and regenerating.
Grumbling. Quang.
Suddenly. thud.
Fazizik. Pow.
Various elements seemed to surround the body and then exploded, creating a believable melody.
Wow.
Under the unfocused red eye of Typhon.
A roar flowed from its huge mouth.
The cries seemed to show no hostility toward the prey or any purpose to the action.
at that time.
Grumbling. Rumbling.
Rosaria’s tentacles bound Typhon’s body.
How powerful the struggle is.
Even though hundreds of tentacles were attached to her, Rosaria’s body was still staggering.
[It looks like the contractor will have to visit in person.]
“And you?”
[If the main woman does not hold on to it, it will most likely destroy itself. Didn’t we all come here to die together?]
Taehyun nodded.
There wasn’t much time.
You can either abandon the insane Typhon and escape with Rosaria.
You can either take the risk and enter Typhon’s world of images.
There were only two options.
step.
‘Either way, the risk is enormous.’
If you enter the image world and fail to awaken Typhon, or if it is too late and you are completely surrounded by Orgal’s troops, it will be over.
No, Taehyun could somehow escape to Earth.
Rosaria and Typhon will be captured by Orgal and will suffer a shame worse than death.
so.
“It won’t take long.”
[These are truly reassuring words.]
Rosaria’s red eyes flashed.
at the same time.
Tiring.
[You are under the skill queen’s blessing (???). It is synchronized with the skill Demon’s Heart (SS).]
[Skill Ataraxia (SS) is temporarily changed to SSS grade.]
[Skill Ataraxia (SSS) has been activated. Specify the target. Magic power consumption accelerates.]
Huaaaaaaa.
Taehyun’s red eyes turned purple.
[Try to settle the matter properly.]
Wait a moment to hear Rosaria’s voice.
My vision was reversed.
* * *
Taehyun looked around.
Even though the ‘eyes of a higher species’ are in effect.
‘dark.’
For some reason, there was nothing to see.
Is that all?
I didn’t feel like I was popular either.
“Typhon!!”
Taehyun’s voice came back as an echo.
suddenness.
Grumbling.
A fire broke out in front of my eyes.
Damn it.
An ice wall rose right next to me.
Fazizik.
An electric current flowed behind my back.
Quad.
The ground beneath my feet lifted.
Hwiiing.
The wind blew overhead.
Taehyun watched all the elements and completed preparations for unlocking magical power.
‘It’s a loud welcome greeting.’
Tiring.
[The eyes (SS) of the higher-level skill species have been strengthened.]
[The heart (SS) of the higher-level skill species has been strengthened.]
[The additional effect ‘Insight’ appears.]
Hwaaaak.
Taehyun’s eyes became darker than ever.
Damn it. So so so so so.
A crack appeared in the space as if a barrier had been broken.
And what you see is.
It was a huge statue depicting a giant.
Five statues were each wearing an element and showing off their power.
Taehyun walked into the middle of it.
Surrounded by statues of giants, I felt like I was a dwarf.
One of the statues.
The flame giant’s red eyes flashed.
[Human.]
That was just the beginning.
[Kim Tae-hyun.]
[King’s Key.]
[Rosaria’s Contractor.]
[He who awakened the Giant King.]
Five pairs of red eyes flashed one after another and looked down at Tae-hyeon.
Taehyun raised his head and his red eyes flashed.
“Typhon. “Reveal your true self.”
[….]
The five chattering statues fell silent.
The silence didn’t last long.
Flashing.
At Taehyun’s feet.
I felt a huge magical power.
Taehyun instinctively raised his magic power and jumped.
And what you see is.
The eyes were bigger than the size of the five statues combined.
“…!!”
Take a moment to be surprised.
[What is going on here? King of an insignificant race.]
Typhon’s eyes asked.
