Episode 330
Skill ‘Heart of a Higher Species’.
It is neither a skill that uses the magic power of the great masters nor a direct attack skill.
However, for Taehyun, it was the most important skill other than ‘predation’.
Kiiiiing.
The magic gem that was created inside the body accelerated.
At the same time, the magical energy inside that had been shaken began to align as if it had found its way.
‘done.’
The corners of Taehyun’s mouth rose.
Because the shaking is so severe, it will take quite some time to sort it out.
Now that ‘Heart of a Higher Species’ has been activated, it was only a matter of time before the cooldowns of other skills were lifted.
More than anything.
Tiring.
[The efficiency of the skill Devil’s Saliva (SSS) increases.]
[The efficiency of the skill Blood Rush (SSS) increases.] [
The efficiency of the skill Energy Drain (SSS) increases.]
[The Apostle of the Skill Gate (SSS) )’s efficiency increases.]
The four skills being activated have received new buffs.
This is not ordinary reinforcement.
Increasing efficiency means raising skill level, and for Taehyun now, it was an invaluable benefit.
So much so that the ultra-fast regeneration that had been interrupted by Gorper’s magic began again.
Crumble.
The vampire monster’s arms grew once again.
Crack.
Taehyun grabbed Gorper’s arm, who was holding his head with both hands.
Ten red nails were dug into the thick arms.
Pazzzzz.
Chi profit. Chii Iik.
The ‘Energy Drain’, which had been strengthened to its limit, weakened its magical power, and the ‘Devil’s Saliva’ melted its rugged arms.
dump.
Gorfer watched quietly as Taehyun melted his arm and escaped.
[This is outrageous.]
This was the reaction shown by the highest-ranking species and arch-dongs that Taehyun had faced so far.
Gorper was no different.
The memories the king erased came back and he fell into a panic for a moment.
The magic power he is emitting now is by no means light.
Even if it means using Beelzebub’s magic power.
He even used Igmun’s power to absorb his own magic power.
Gorfer’s red eyes flashed.
Two magical powers residing within Taehyun’s body were noticed.
Among them, a magic gemstone that was as good as the top-class ones stood out.
It was a heart that wasn’t there until a moment ago.
[You use the same power as us. It’s a really interesting bug.]
When I sent Bang Chae-su a little while ago, I thought it was an extremely ‘humane’ bug.
The virtue of insects that risk their lives for others even while sacrificing their own bodies.
Human nature.
Watching those who betray their virtue in the face of death was also a great pleasure.
But now I see it.
Isn’t this a guy who resembles them just as much as Kasim Jort?
It is understandable why that power was not used from the beginning.
[You must have fallen under my spell.]
I don’t know how you obtained Kasim Jort’s skills.
I don’t know how that power was activated.
In the process, his own magic must have been activated.
[I would have had to lose a lot of my strength.]
The situation was organized in Gorper’s mind.
The guy in front of me was not in a normal state the moment he met him.
With that body, I bought time and accepted the magic power of the great devil, lifting some of the restrictions of the spell.
I provoked myself with that insect-like body and drew out my strength.
This is something that even the highest species cannot do carelessly.
[I don’t know who’s behind it, but it’s clear that he’s crazy!!]
Gorper burst out laughing for the first time in a long time.
This is because of the joy of discovering such delicious food.
On the other hand, Taehyun, the person involved, seemed unconcerned.
‘The magical power is more twisted than I thought.’
The quest’s progress was stuck at 55 percent, and a few more skills needed to be unlocked to defeat Gorper.
‘I don’t know if the old man arrived properly.’
A face that was poisoned and had a purple complexion came to mind.
As he uses ‘world fragments’, his existence value is above SS level.
Ultimately, the body belongs to an untrained old man.
It would be dangerous if first aid was not administered quickly.
Fortunately, he wasn’t even at the level of an SS-level player, so he wouldn’t have been restricted by the Abyss.
I could only assume that it had been found and moved safely.
Gorper’s magical power suddenly surged.
[I guess I should repay you for making me happy.]
Chiik. Cheeik.
Puhwaaaak.
The poison emitted from the body darkened the area.
[Let me formally introduce you. Gorfer is a member of the highest class who was given the 66th castle by Beelzebub and has been called the Great Devil of Desire since ancient times.] Gorfer
looked at Taehyeon with shining eyes.
It was the expression of a predator that found tasty prey.
‘Be a predator.’
Although it was a bad situation, I burst out laughing without realizing it.
There was no hesitation in sending Bang Chae-soo to Earth.
“I am a contractor from Rosaria. “I don’t know your name.”
Taehyun answered bluntly.
I decided to complete the quest anyway.
I was thinking of getting more information out of him.
[It was you!!]
Gorper was so moved that he poured out various words to himself.
I heard that Rosaria’s contractor succeeded in eluding Orgal’s pursuit.
It is said that the bug survived even though it invaded Igmun’s territory.
[At first, it was a rumor that was difficult to accept, even as
a joke.] A bug-like person could successfully escape from the Archduke.
What about Rosaria’s contractor, who is considered the weakest of the archdukes?
Gorfer thought there were rumors going around while he was in the hidden realm.
Meanwhile, Taehyun’s expression while listening to Gorper’s words was strange.
‘It seems like this guy is way behind in terms of information.’
Otherwise, it was difficult to understand why a person of the highest rank did not know the news that his lord’s castle was destroyed by Taehyeon.
It was also new to call themselves the Great Devil, unlike other top-ranking members.
‘It’s worth finding out.’
This is the moment when Taehyun thought so.
Tiring.
[The cooldown of Skill Apocalypse (SSS) has been lifted.]
[Skill Apocalypse (SSS) can be used.]
The seal of another skill that has been waiting has been lifted.
[Hoo. The magic power has become even stronger.]
Gorfer’s red eyes narrowed.
Although it is still nothing compared to his magical power.
It’s amazing how the risk is lifted even after being under a spell.
[Show me. What kind of tricks are you going to pull off this time?]
“I heard the landlord wants it.”
Tiring.
[Skill Apocalypse (SSS) has been activated. Specifies the target.]
“I have to listen.”
Kugugoogung.
Darkness fell over the area.
* * *
Gravity weighed down and an unknown chain groped Gorfer’s body like a viper’s tongue.
There were a few other things that worked, though.
The presence of Gorfer was not enough to cause much concern.
[Hmph.]
Gorfer put his hand, which I don’t know when he regenerated, under his chin and burned it.
My head tilted.
It’s a pretty decent feat.
but.
[It is impossible to run away from the Archduke like this.]
He gave a cool-headed assessment.
After Kasim Zort’s death, he had trouble satisfying his hunger and remembered memories of the past that the king had erased.
But now.
Gorper’s interest was completely shifted to Taehyeon.
Something like Kassim Jort.
Things like the memories the king erased.
It was none of my business right now.
Just delicious food in front of you.
They just focus on harassing Rosaria’s contractors.
[Are there any more?]
Gorper said, looking through Taehyeon’s body.
‘It’s a monster.’
I wasn’t planning on doing anything with ‘Apocalypse’.
More than I thought.
The guy’s magic resistance was high.
‘Why isn’t this guy known?’
As for the highest species, I have also talked with Erebos a few times.
This is because it is rare for a name from the deepest level to not be known.
Right now, among the highest species, there were very few people who didn’t know about Erebos.
It usually happens when a group gathers.
Even in the Abyss, the hierarchy among monsters was a big concern.
The princes are ranked and their descendants are ranked.
The highest species currently identified is about 200.
They all had their own rankings.
‘I said that Erebos in the past was around the top 30.’
Also, Typhon was sealed and his power was weakened.
It would be possible to rank in the top 10 now.
However, this is the first time I have heard of Gorfer, even though he is called the Great Devil.
To put it bluntly.
‘It is not an ordinary top species.’
For reasons I don’t know right now, he’s not showing off his skills.
Even if Taehyun was in normal condition, he was a guy who would have had to face a life-or-death match.
That guy said with his own mouth that he was a member of Beelzebub and that he was the owner of the castle.
No, not in the first place.
‘Was there such a thing as 66 stars?’
Although Beelzebub boasts a vast territory even among the great kingdoms, including the territory of the past Diablo.
From Taehyun’s memory, there was no such thing as 66 stars among them.
[What are you thinking? I asked if there were any more.]
The guy asked, chuckling.
This is because a new desire blooms in my body at the thought of harassing and violating her.
Taehyun confirmed his magic power.
Since multiple skills are still being used, magical energy consumption is high.
However, just because ‘Apocalypse’ was activated, the stats increased once again.
The chain that passed by every now and then was absorbing the guy’s magic power.
Gorfer would find that level of magical power ridiculous.
From Taehyun’s perspective, that alone was enough to maintain his skills.
‘Try a little more.’
Other skills have not returned yet.
Since the cooldown of ‘Apocalypse’ was lifted, it was not difficult to use that sub-skill.
[If there is nothing more to show….]
Gorper approached Taehyun before he could finish his sentence.
“Kneel. Gorfer.”
Tiring.
[Skill Knight King’s Mettle (SSS) has been activated. Specifies the target.]
[Skill Lord’s Mettle (SSS) has been activated. Specifies the target.]
Kugu Palace. Kugugoogung.
Two huge forces crushed Gorper.
Nevertheless.
[Ambition. It is the power of the dragon race.]
The Great Devil’s expression did not waver.
* * *
A strain was placed on Gorfer’s body.
Although the Balaur are considered the strongest creatures in the Abyss.
That also applies only among monsters of similar level.
To the Great Devil, the dragon’s strong body was like a piece of paper that could be easily torn apart.
Because I knew it.
The power that Taehyun is giving off right now is his spirit.
Among them, they belong to the Gold clan and the Black clan.
[What on earth are you?]
It was a question that implied many things.
The master’s contractor, Kasim Zort, was also unable to properly handle the power of poison.
Only with the help of Gorper’s power was it able to demonstrate the power that could be considered the highest species.
But it’s just that a contractor from Rosaria uses such a variety of powers.
What happened while you were away?
Although Gorper himself was not aware of it, he spent a long time in the 66 Castle with his memory intact.
It was natural that he, who did not become a grand duke, could not hear the word ‘key’ and did not recognize it even when he heard it.
Beelzebub also did not know that fact.
[How many years have passed since I was fooled by the king?]
I increased my strength.
In an instant, Dasu’s spirit was shaken off.
He strengthened his skills and prevented Taehyun from being released.
[They say he’s Rosaria’s evildoer, and he’s quite capable of imitating Hazard’s power. It’s also surprising that they came up with the idea of defeating the Great Devil…]
Before Gorper could finish his sentence.
Tiring.
[The cooldown for the skill Dragon’s Rage (SSS) has been lifted.]
[The skill Dragon’s Rage (SSS) can be used.]
“It’s a long story. “The Great Devil.”
Tiring.
[Skill Dragon’s Rage (SSS) has been activated. Specify the target.]
A new spirit has exploded.
