Episode 316:
Under the red sky.
A vast, desert-like surface.
Taehyun arrived in the image world and checked his physical condition.
As soon as I came ‘inside’, my tattered body was completely restored.
This is because the body has been reorganized with presence and mental power.
at that time.
Kaaaaak.
It seemed like such a scream could be heard from somewhere.
‘Has it begun?’
Taehyun burst out laughing.
I know it’s not an illusion.
Among monsters, the dragon race has a natural body.
Among those dragon clans, excluding the Lord, the clan leader is considered the strongest.
As for Bordeaux, the head of the Blue clan.
Wouldn’t it be possible to reduce the doppelganger’s complaints a little?
With that thought in mind, I gave up on feasting from the ‘outside’ and brought it into the world of images.
‘Fortunately, the bait seems to have been satisfactory.’
It’s a shame that I can’t prey on him.
For now, I had to focus on preying on the guy in front of me.
[It’s an image world. Are you really planning to eat the main dragon here?]
Asisat Ebi asked, giggling.
This is because he understood what Taehyun was thinking in bringing him here.
“I hate playing around.”
[Don’t think you will be defeated easily. Thanks to you, the main dragon also regained his strength.]
Assat Ebi said and raised her magical power.
Unlike ‘outside’.
The world of imagery is a place where the involvement of mental power becomes greater.
This fact was proven by the fact that all of the wounds from the outside attack had returned to their original state.
Of course, the chains surrounding his entire body were loosened.
[You underestimated the Archduke’s power of existence.]
Seueueu.
Asisat Ebi’s seven-colored hair fluttered.
Seven skills that could not be used outside due to the risk of a weak body.
It was to unleash that power all at once.
“Aren’t you tired of fighting outside?”
match.
Taehyun slapped his palms together.
at the same time.
Ugh. Ugh.
Without any foreshadowing.
The huge maw revealed its teeth.
[Predation. [It would have been good to use it when Asmodeus was around.]
Asisat Ebi savored it as if she felt regretful.
It’s because it’s disgusting to see Asmodeus using it over and over again as soon as he disappears.
Is that why?
[The main dragon will not allow it here.]
Kugugugu.
A huge spirit overwhelmed Taehyun.
It was a characteristic of the Gold clan.
Next, red, silver, black, green, and white.
All six mettle skills were used except for the Blue clan’s characteristics, considering that Taehyun might activate ‘Root Element’.
But why?
Taehyun’s expression as he endured his spirit seemed insignificant.
Asisat Ebi’s face frowned.
Because it is not the result she expected.
[What kind of trick did you use?]
“There’s nothing to be surprised about. “Because there is no problem with them.”
[What?]
“Image world. “How many monsters have visited this place?”
[….]
“How many of them do you think were archdukes?”
[…!!]
Only then did Asisat Ebi’s face harden.
It reminded me of the real owner who rules this place.
[But you…]
It’s not that guy.
That was what Hazard, in the form of Asisat Ebi, wanted to ask.
Taehyun read her thoughts and shook his head.
“I fought with this guy countless times. And you now. “I’m not even in the top five of those invited.”
[…!!]
Exactly.
Taehyun snapped his fingers.
The maw of devouring narrowed the distance.
[This is absurd.]
Tsuzzzzzzzz.
Asisat Ebi burst out laughing and showed off her spirit.
It was aimed at Predation, not Taehyun.
Kwasik.
Some of the maws were crushed by the Gold clan’s spirit and burst.
Damn.
Some of the maws were frozen by the Silver clan’s spirit.
Hwareuk.
Some of the maws were ablaze with the Red Clan’s spirit.
Chi profit.
Some of the maws melted due to the Green Clan’s spirit.
Suddenly.
Some of the maws were cut off by the White Clan’s spirit.
Wow.
Some of the maws trembled and disappeared from the Black clan’s spirit.
Fazizik.
Many of the jaws were electrocuted and paralyzed by the Blue clan’s spirit.
Nevertheless.
Ugh. Wow. Ugh.
More maws were created around her than were destroyed.
[I don’t understand.]
Even though I have a human body.
There is no way there could be such a difference in existence.
at that time.
Kwaduk!!
One of the maws that had withstood the seven attacks bit her arm.
Quad deuk. Crack.
The scales of the dragon that covered his entire body were torn off without any effect.
It was an incomprehensible difference.
Even though his own power doesn’t work.
Kim Tae-hyun’s power works very well.
Even though I thought she was more rational than anyone else.
“There’s nothing special about the scales that the dragon race boasts about, right?”
Smirk.
I ended up falling for Taehyun’s obvious provocation.
Crrrrr.
The power of a demonic dragon that only Hazard among the dragons can use.
He brought out the power of the King of Sanggye.
[Receive Bonryong’s eighth defeat.]
It’s an unknown situation.
Still, one feeling was clear.
[I will subdue that arrogant attitude.]
This is the power I brought out with that thought in mind.
dump.
Suddenly, Asisat Ebi’s knees buckled.
Grumbling.
Took. Pop.
Black blood flowed from the nose to the mouth, soaking the desert sand.
[What…?]
This is when Hazard was unaware of the changes that had occurred in his body.
“You’ve finally arrived.”
Psssss.
Taehyun, who lifted the jaws of ‘predation’, stood in front of her.
Taehyun, who was enjoying the expression of not knowing what happened, opened his mouth.
“rebound.”
[…!!]
“It’s what’s happening in your body. “The expression ‘reflux’ is also used… but the name doesn’t matter.”
Taehyun spoke casually and gathered his magic power.
[There is no way the main dragon could fall into something like reflux… no way…]
“Yes. Didn’t you say it with your own mouth? “It’s a boring body.”
[…!!]
“I was definitely surprised. Asisat Ebi. “I can’t believe she exerts this much power with her body.”
These were not empty words.
Her body, inhabited by Hazard, is Erebos, even if it only lasts for a moment.
It showed more power than that.
If it had been Taehyun just a few months ago, he would have been overpowered.
[Ha…]
Only then did Hazard realize his mistake and burst into laughter.
Hazard’s attention had always been focused on the collision of keys.
Either ‘outside’ or ‘inside’.
What happens when someone other than the key uses the king’s power is overlooked.
“I can’t believe someone with your level of existence can use the power of the Upper World King twice in a human body. “I was too greedy.”
[….]
“I couldn’t believe I failed the first test. “It’s not even funny.”
I couldn’t say anything despite Taehyun’s ridicule.
It was because I couldn’t believe the reality of being on my knees to a person I always thought was inferior.
It’s because I can’t admit this ridiculous mistake.
Either way.
It didn’t matter to Taehyun.
“Now it’s time to take the second test.”
Tsuzuzu.
Purple magic bloomed in Taehyun’s red eyes.
Asisat Ebi burst out laughing at that proud appearance.
[As if being dragged into the world of images wasn’t enough, he said he would use Rosaria’s power once again.]
“Can’t we?”
[Crazy guy.]
“This is the ultimate compliment.”
At the same time, Taehyun’s red eyes became redder than ever.
Tiring.
[Skill Ataraxia (SSS) has been activated.]
Asisat Ebi.
No, it seemed like that sound was heard in Hazard’s head.
* * *
I opened my eyes and the first thing that came to mind was a cave.
“A place like this.”
Taehyun said and took a step forward.
The ground, which looked like a desert, was soft.
“It’s a unique taste.”
What caught my eye was the imaginary world of Asisat Ebi.
Judging by its rough composition, it seemed to be inside the body of something.
That something is probably a dragon.
Grumbling.
Pop.
Something fell from the ceiling that seemed ten times higher than Taehyun’s height.
Chi profit.
Smoke rose from the melted shoulder.
Strong acid.
It was miasma.
“I guess I should give up the idea of going there slowly.”
Tiring.
[Skill Energy Drain (SSS) has been activated. Search for object.]
Pazuzuzu.
The magic power spread out in the form of tentacles.
It didn’t take long to find the target.
“It’s hidden far away.”
I would like to go with ‘Apostle of Darkness’ or ‘Apostle of the Gate’.
It is a world of images within a world of images.
I might end up in a strange place.
Taehyun quickly moved his feet.
Before long, Asisat Ebi was found embedded in seven teeth.
It looked truly pitiful.
“Has even the world of imagination been encroached upon?”
This is the moment when Taehyun said that and took a step closer to her.
[Stop.]
Asisat Ebi opened her mouth.
“Hazard.”
Taehyun was not surprised and spoke the name of the being inside.
It was a situation I had expected from the moment I was drawn into the world of imagery.
[Have we finally come this far?]
I could sense the absurdity in that voice.
This is because I know that the reason Taehyun came here was to make a ‘pledge of summons’.
“I received a report that the contractor was being treated too harshly.”
[The main dragon saw you too easily.]
I could feel the seven magical powers of the dragon race in the molars.
It was probably a method created to conclude a one-sided contract.
Those seven magical powers were flowing into one heart located in Asisat Ebi’s body.
This is no ordinary heart.
Dragon Heart.
Her heart was already emitting a power that was no different from his own.
[surely. If you feast on this, the main dragon will have no choice but to make a pact of summoning with you. But will it be okay? That means that this body will no longer be useful to the main dragon.] It meant that
if Taehyeon feasted, he would kill Asisat Ebi.
It’s a pretty plausible threat, though.
“This is a matter for which I have already received permission. “Just take care of the cleanup.”
[….]
The first thing Taehyun asked before visiting Hazard.
Taehyun had foreseen the current situation and relieved her of the burden by agreeing to the proposal.
More than anything.
‘There’s no way you could easily throw away a body like this.’
I know very well how rare it is to have a body that can absorb the magic power of the Archdukes.
Even if Taehyun forces Hazard.
Her body will not be disposed of easily.
Looking at Yoo Ah-young’s case, there was a high possibility of using it as a spare.
[This was really caught by a crazy person. Predating the main dragon means taking on that burden. Can you handle it?]
Hazard asked as if it were something grandiose.
“As long as you don’t betray me. “I will cooperate to some extent.”
[…He is a cocky person to the end. good night. Eat me…]
Even before Hazard finished speaking.
Ugh.
Kwasik!!
A huge maw swallowed Asisat Ebi’s body.
Quad deuk. Quad deuk. Quad deuk.
Tiring.
[Quest ‘Summoning Oath – Hazard’ has been completed.]
[The magic power of the skill Dragon’s Rage (SSS) has been readjusted.]
[The magic power of the summoning skill Hazard (SSS) has been readjusted.]
In addition, it preys on huge power . With the message, the stats went up considerably.
“Let’s go out now.”
It was at that time that Taehyun tried to escape the two worlds of images without any regrets.
I didn’t feel it because I was dealing with Hazard.
A huge presence was detected.
Familiar magic power.
The incredibly weak being was also present.
* * *
Flutter.
Bordeaux, tattered, fell to his knees.
[Let’s stop eating now.]
The doppelganger looked down at Bordeaux and gestured.
Ugh.
The maw of devouring opened its mouth behind him.
That’s it.
[Hmm?]
The doppelganger stopped moving.
“I didn’t know there was still life left.”
When I turned around, Taehyun was there.
[I am eating. When you’re done with your business, go away.]
The doppelganger waved his hand as if he were dealing with an annoying customer.
“Is that possible?”
Ugh.
Taehyun pulled out the mouth of a predator.
[What are you doing?]
No answer.
Taehyun felt magical power.
A feeling of exaltation, dominated by enormous power, enveloped my entire body.
[Have you developed an attachment to the prey you passed over once?]
“I’m hungrier than I thought. even I did not know.”
From the doppelganger’s point of view, he didn’t really like that answer.
[You’re crossing the line.]
Ugh. Tsk, tsk, tsk.
A predatory maw appeared behind Taehyeon.
Even though it is a situation where it can be ripped off right away.
Taehyun did not back down.
“I have to eat that.”
Is it because it gorged on Hazard and its magic power was not yet digested?
Ugh.
A maw bigger than ever opened beneath my feet.
[Crazy guy.]
For a while, this was the second time I heard it in the image world.
“If you’re scared, just run away.”
Smirk.
The way he speaks arrogantly.
It was no different from the Archduke.
