Episode 311:
Fuuk.
Asmodeus’s other claw pierced the neck of the green dragon barely surviving in the corner.
They all seem to be stuck on long thorns and squeak.
It reminded me of chicken twisted on a skewer.
It wasn’t enough to single-handedly deal with five of the highest-ranking people, and left them in a dying state.
That alone is already poisonous enough.
What surprised Taehyun was something else.
A familiar energy that can be felt in Asmodeus’ red eyes.
Madness.
It was an immature aura often displayed by those who were intoxicated by the power they witnessed while crossing countless lines of fire.
‘Did he run away?’
If there were no risks, there is no way I wouldn’t have used it.
In other words, there was a risk in using this power.
‘Hazard’s plan was half successful.’
If Chronis had not dealt with Taehyun in the first place.
What if Asmodeus had not been able to mount a plausible defense against multiple dragons?
Taehyun might have had to resort to ‘predation’ by now.
So even more so.
Your stance from now on was important.
If you use predation here, it will really go as Hazard intended.
It is not difficult to predict how a hazard that has achieved its goal will turn out.
‘Those guys will die if I leave them like that.’
Five dragons cackling behind Asmodeus.
The scales, which Taehyun could only pierce by using ‘Demon Beast Painting’ and ‘Devil’s Saliva’, were pierced so cleanly that it seemed pointless.
Belatedly, the ‘eyes of a higher species’ captured the magic power contained in the fingernails.
Beelzebub’s poisonous magic power.
There was no shortage of venom on the fingernails.
‘How could that guy…?’
Taehyun keeps Bordeaux in check.
I strengthened my skills once again.
Tiring.
[The skill Eye of the Higher Species (SSS) has been strengthened. Magic consumption is accelerated.]
[Skill Heart of the Higher Species (SSS) has been strengthened. Magic consumption is accelerated.]
[Additional effect Insight appears.]
I scanned the approaching body of Asmodeus.
Is it because some of my reason has been lost?
The inside of Asmodeus’ body, which was unprepared for the insight, was seen inside.
“…!!”
Taehyun was surprised by the unexpected appearance that was soon revealed.
‘Magic stones… three?’
My eyes trembled as I watched, without realizing it.
Both of his chest.
And underneath it, another magic stone was formed.
To be exact, it looked like black and purple magical power was emanating from the magic stones formed on both chests and mixing with the remaining magic stones.
three hearts.
Three magic stones.
‘how…?’
It was a problem on a different level from Taehyeon drawing on the power of the princes.
As I understand it, the highest species will have power when they are in large supply.
There are cases where they are born with great power from the beginning, and there are cases where they grow little by little to reach the level of power.
However, I have never heard of someone imitating the power of the Archduke with three magic stones.
Although Erebos briefly possessed the power of Typhon and Orgal.
After Typhon was resurrected, his original power became stronger, and Orgal’s power disappeared completely.
However, no matter how you look at that power.
‘It resembles the magic power of Beelzebub.’
I felt a stronger power than the ‘devil’s saliva’ used by Taehyun.
There were two hypotheses that could be developed.
One is that Beelzebub is already cooperating with Asmodeus.
However, I heard that Asmodeus is on bad terms with both Orgal and Beelzebub.
‘Has the rumor been wrong?’
Considering Beelzebub’s hatred for the king, it would not be strange for him to join hands with the King of Upper World.
Unless there’s more that Taehyun doesn’t know between them.
The second is that the power of the King of the Upper World that Asmodeus received helps him use the power of other great dukes.
‘I’m not sure about this either.’
Above all, if it is true, it is not explained why it is Beelzebub’s power that is being used now and what it has to do with the fact that there are three magic stones.
Everything was uncertain.
Nevertheless, one thing is certain.
‘Am I also in his attack range?’
There is no way that a guy who has already gone berserk will have the same sense of reason as before.
Taehyun glanced at Bordeaux.
The guy probably had similar thoughts, but his expression didn’t look very good.
“I think we have similar thoughts. Shall we call a truce?”
[You’re talking nonsense.]
Bordeaux growled and flashed his red eyes.
“but. “It’s not the time to ask each other’s permission.”
Tiring.
[Skill Stealth (SSS) has been activated.]
[Skill Stealth (SSS) has been strengthened. Magic power consumption accelerates.]
Ssssssut.
Taehyun’s body disappeared as if melting into the cavity.
Asmodeus’ opponent was handed over to Bordeaux until the power was figured out.
It is a skill that has become strong enough to deceive the eyes of the highest level species.
It wasn’t easy for Bordeaux to understand Taehyun’s movements if he wasn’t focused.
The courage I was bragging about didn’t work.
[This is a guy who won’t feel refreshed even if you change his mind.]
In my heart, I want to cover this entire vast cavity with my thunderous magic and spirit.
However, even though I gritted my teeth, I did not move according to my emotions.
This is a space prepared to test the power of the key to explore the fate of the clan.
I couldn’t do anything ugly while she was watching.
[It would have been better to bring in the leaders.]
Bordeaux later regretted his careless response.
It also included regret for the elders of the six races who were unable to fulfill the Lord’s orders.
Taehyun Kim and Asmodeus.
[I admit it.]
I didn’t think it was necessary for two leaders to step forward to test the strength of those who were still at the top level.
This is because the heads of the dragon clans are all leading their respective clans in a turf war.
[It was a mistake to try to test you at the level of an elder.] Just
because you are an elder, your position is not light.
Just below the rod.
There are seven heads representing each clan.
Excluding the leader, there are a small number of elders who are called the pillars of each clan.
In time, some of them will become the heads of their clans.
So, I thought that even bringing in one person from each clan would be an overkill.
But now that I look at it.
[It would have taken two leaders to capture you alive.]
Bordeaux said, evaluating Asmodeus’s power as equal to his own.
It was rare for a proud dragon race to recognize another race as equal.
[….]
Asmodeus just flashed his crazy red eyes without answering.
[Your situation is different from Kim Tae-hyun.]
Bordeaux unleashed his magic.
Anyway, what Hazard wants is to see the reaction when the powers of the two keys collide.
In the case of Asmodeus, it seems that it is difficult to control his power anymore.
Kim Tae-hyun is also hiding now, but he will eventually have no choice but to use his power.
Kyaang.
Asmodeus’ poisonous nails touched Bordeaux’s scales.
Unlike the previous five dragons, it could not pierce Bordeaux’s scales.
Bordeaux also seemed surprising.
He suffered the humiliation of having his scales ripped off by Taehyun’s attack a little while ago.
If what Asmodeus uses is related to Beelzebub’s power.
This is because I thought I would give up at least a little bit of skin this time.
Bordeaux’s red eyes glanced at Asmodeus once again.
[is it. It looks like your body isn’t normal either.]
Bordeaux smiled and polymorphed into a humanoid.
Due to the wounds sustained in the battle with Taehyun, regeneration was not complete.
I was planning to save my magic power for the time being.
Once again, the poisonous claws targeted Bordeaux.
This time it was a face.
[Do you think this will continue to happen?]
Kwadeuk.
Bordeaux caught the thorn right in front of his nose.
and.
I don’t know what to do.
The unique nature of the Blue clan.
The energy of the thunder attribute flowed through the nails.
[Ki…Ah…]
Asmodeus was the first to react.
The spirit was just the beginning.
Magic that has always been considered trivial and never used.
Attribute magic appropriate to the season of the higher species was used one after another.
Asmodeus withstood the force and narrowed the distance.
A poisonous fingernail was lashed out at Bordeaux.
I was planning to just stick it in and warm it up.
Sigh.
Crackling.
At that moment, fingernails similar to Asmodeus grew on Bordeaux’s hands.
Is the length similar?
Kyaang!!
Asmodeus’ fingernails were broken in one attack.
[The bones of the demon race cannot be compared to those of the dragon race.]
Suddenly.
Bordeaux slashed Asmodeus’ chest.
I don’t know what to do.
Sparks flew and Asmodeus’ body began to explode.
[Kia… Ah…]
Leaving behind the screaming Asmodeus.
He turned to the five elders who were dying from the thorn stuck in their necks.
[Rod is watching. [You look pathetic.]
While saying that, Bordeaux personally pulled out the poisonous fingernails.
Only then did the five dragons’ painful screams turn into moans.
[Recover your body. Kim Tae-hyun is hiding, so you have to be careful.]
That’s the time.
[Kia… Ah…!!]
Flap.
Asmodeus shouted and a pair of wings unfolded.
Although it was torn apart countless times by the six dragons.
Now, it was reproduced at high speed and there was nothing strange about it.
No, one side is a bat-like wing unique to the demon race.
On the other side.
[It belongs to our clan.]
Bordeaux said, frowning.
A leader-level hybrid of a demon race and a dragon race.
Even though he has lived for a long time, this is something he has never heard of.
[If you have anything to hide, you will have to take it all out.]
Pazzzzzzz.
The spirit of lightning exploded through Asmodeus’ body.
Is it because it was piled up because it could not be used by Taehyun?
[Good!!]
Bordeaux burst into laughter with rare excitement.
[Kiaak … !!]
Asmodus screamed.
Fuhuaak.
Take a moment to let purple magic bloom from your body.
Chi profit. Chii Iik.
A poisonous mist spread throughout the cavity.
Asmodeus then bowed.
Quad deuk. Quad deuk.
My spine was bent and my hands were on the floor.
And suddenly.
Magical power gathered in the guy’s mouth.
[…!!]
For a moment, I was taken aback by this unexpected sight.
Quaaa!!
The purple magic energy fired was aimed at the five dragons who barely escaped injury.
[Boss!!]
Bordeaux’s spirit was crushed belatedly.
The breath had already hit the five dragons.
[this… Hybrid…]
Bordeaux got excited and released his polymorph.
I realized that I could no longer deal with them for the purpose of capturing them alive.
A battle between the two highest species.
“….”
Taehyun was watching quietly.
* * *
Taehyun captured this ridiculous battle with the enhanced ‘eyes of a higher species.’
There was one thing I found out.
Asmodeus’ power comes from the demon and dragon races.
‘It radiates magical power constantly.’
It seemed like I would have to extract a magic stone or use satiety to calm it down.
‘Even if predation is used now, it is difficult to see any effect.’
I had to wait.
Until the moment comes when we can overturn the board that Hazard has laid down.
at that time.
[Wow….]
“…!!”
A gold dragon rolled over with half of its lower body blown off by Asmodeus’ breath.
Although he was in such a state of death that high-speed regeneration was not possible, his life seemed to be alive.
“Is there such a windfall?”
[You…]
“Shh.”
Taehyun raised his finger at the guy.
Although it is temporary.
Due to Hazard’s interference, his stats have dropped significantly.
It was difficult to attract the attention of those around me.
Tiring.

“I’ll finish it right away.”
