Episode 332
‘Predation’ is scary not just because of its vicious teeth.
‘Colorless and odorless.’
As the expression suggests, it appears without warning and bites.
In that respect, Gorper was no different.
Ugh.
[…!!]
This is the moment when Gorfer realized that a huge maw had opened up behind him.
Kwaduk!!
The maw of predation swallowed both arms.
Just like Gorper did to Taehyun.
It seemed insignificant, as if the body of a lower-ranking species was being torn off.
Quad deuk. Quad deuk.
The vicious maw chewed ravenously on both of the Great Devil’s arms.
“Has it been proven now?”
Taehyun asked mockingly.
I wanted to target the whole body, but I saw it clearly with the eyes of a higher species.
In my current state, I cannot prey on anything except my two arms.
Even if predation is used, this is the best.
‘It’s an unbelievable monster.’
Taehyun thought so without showing it.
Gorfer was equally surprised.
[What is this power….]
“…?”
Taehyun tilted his head at Gorper’s reaction.
Just like other archdukes did.
I thought that he would also see the predation and recognize that Taehyun was the key to the king.
Obviously a little while ago.
I heard them muttering about the king.
Even though he is the highest-ranking member of Beelzebub and knows the king, he does not know the existence of the key?
Something wasn’t right.
And something that can affect monsters to this extent.
‘Law of the Abyss?’
[Why is this power proof that the power of the great princes can be used?]
“….”
Taehyeon was at a loss for words.
I never thought that Gorfer wouldn’t recognize ‘predation’.
The surprise attack from earlier was done with the intention of taking away both of Taehyun’s arms by revealing the information that Taehyun was the key.
Other than ‘predation’, there was no way to prove that he was the key.
[Are you aiming for a surprise attack? I didn’t see him as that kind of guy.]
Chuckle.
Gorfer laughed and regenerated his arms.
[Negotiations have collapsed. Is there anything more to say?]
“Key.”
[…?]
“You don’t know about the King’s Key?”
[What is the king and what is the key? What nonsense are you talking about?]
“…!!”
Taehyun was startled without even realizing it.
The guy who was aware of the king just a moment ago now stops recognizing the king for a moment.
‘There is no way the highest species has dementia.’
A plausible possibility is that the ‘Law of the Abyss’ is interfering with this guy’s memories.
It didn’t matter to Taehyun.
‘I have no choice but to find out the rest myself.’
In Taehyeon’s red eyes, every part of Gorper’s body was identified.
It would have been impossible to hit it to the extent that it would not be able to play at high speeds, but it would have caused a small amount of shock.
For now, it was enough just to increase the progress of the quest.
“Chew it.”
Ugh. Wow.
Mouths spread out everywhere.
[You’re joking too much.]
Puhwaak.
The poisonous magic took the form of a maw.
Soon, several maws were tangled together.
In the meantime, Gorfer flapped his wings again and floated into the air.
“Where?”
Four mettles and chains were focused on him.
At the same time, Taehyun’s large body bounced as he stepped on the slope.
Tiring.
[Skill Dark Apostle (SSS) has been activated. Specifies the shape.]
Tsuzuzuzu.
A huge scythe was grasped.
‘Devil’s saliva’ was shed on the black blade.
Chi profit. Cheeik.
The scythe, flowing with poisonous magic, swung towards Gorfer’s wings.
Kyaang.
Gorfer’s tail struck Taehyeon’s scythe.
Taehyun was the one who jumped out with a metallic sound.
[It’s useless.]
From top to bottom.
Gorfer looked down and said,
The purple magic power subsided from its body, and the original dark blue magic power was seething.
[The spell begins.]
Immediately afterwards, an unknown language came out.
‘It’s not the language of monsters or anything like that.’
Just listening to it gave me the creeps and I felt like I couldn’t stay still.
That’s it.
Tiring.
[The cooldown of skill Ataraxia (SSS) has been lifted.]
[Skill Ataraxia (SSS) can be used.]
Following Beelzebub Igmun Hazard Orgal.
It was a message that the seal on the last main skill had been lifted.
‘I bought enough time.’
There was no longer a need to stick to close combat.
Tiring.
[Skill Gate Apostle (SSS) has been activated. Specify the location.]
[Unique skill Predation (SSS) has been activated. Specifies the target.]
[Skill Dark Apostle (SSS) has been activated. Specifies the location.]
Quaaaaa.
Ugh.
A huge gate was created above Gorper, and a predatory maw surrounded it.
I felt a sense of helplessness as all my magical power was drained away.
Gorfer flapped his wings as if he was annoyed and moved his large body to a place where the two skills could not reach.
at the same time.
Suddenly.
Taehyun’s scythe, which moved to the ‘Apostle of Darkness’, touched Gorper’s right wing.
It’s incomparably sloppy compared to before.
‘soft!!’
This was because most of the magic power was lost when the spell began.
Cooung.
Gorfer’s feet once again touched the floor.
As soon as Taehyun reached the floor, the guy’s nails pierced him.
Step by step.
Should I call it a thorn?
Should I call it an awl?
The scythe was broken without being able to block it ten times due to the constant onslaught of various sizes.
The moment when five thorns aim at your limbs.
Lots of cards!!
The maw of ‘predation’ ate my nails.
In that gap, I was able to approach him once again.
Taebaek, the first form of the new Korean ancient martial art.
The huge demonic beast’s arm swung towards Gorfer’s neck.
Wow.
“…!!”
Gorfer’s tail knocked Taehyun’s hand away.
My strengthened hands tingled with strength incomparable to my fingernails.
Developing the first form of ancient Chinese martial arts.
Quang!!
Once again, Tails knocked Taehyun’s fist away.
Yet, an unknown language was constantly flowing from his mouth.
Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom.
White Lang and Sansha performed with their bodies strengthened to their limits, and they were constantly burning.
Unlike Taehyun, whose entire body was drenched in sweat, Gorper appeared to be fighting with his arms crossed and only his tail.
This is to focus on completing the spell.
Baldness. Village view. Cheokgyeong. fairyland. Penetroscope.
Taebaek. Mountain scenery. Bagua. Consideration. Decimal.
Attacks that would have killed a normal top-tier species were launched indiscriminately.
The 6th form of ancient Chinese martial arts, Xinhua Jing.
Kwaang!!!
Grumbling.
Gorfer was pushed back.
The predatory maw that was preparing behind him bit the guy’s tail.
No, the moment you are about to bite.
Kyaang.
Surprisingly, its tail popped out of its mouth.
However, Taehyun already knew that predation would fail through the ‘eyes of a higher species.’
While buying a little time.
New Korean ancient martial arts 7th type plain.
Before I knew it, my tightly clenched fist and straight palm were touching Gorfer’s abdomen.
[…!!]
Quad deuk!!!
[Kak…!!]
For the first time, Gorfer stopped casting and groaned.
The fist, which is the principle of sutra, and the intestine, which is the principle of the eight trigrams.
This is because the two skills overlap while the physical stats have been raised to the maximum.
Through the ‘eyes of a higher species’, I could see Gorfer’s magic power shaking.
Although it did not cause reflux.
It was enough to stop the spell he was reciting.
Sigh. Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
The ‘chains of restraint’ touched Gorfer’s body.
This is to make up for the lack of magical power.
Even though the chain was melting, it faithfully performed its role.
Phew.
Gorfer’s tail pierced Taehyun’s abdomen.
“Ugh…”
gasp.
Now I’m vomiting blood I don’t even know what color it is.
Gorfer’s mouth spoke again, an incomprehensible spell.
Taehyun took a step closer to the guy.
Coo. Cough.
The guy’s tail stuck out from behind his back.
Wouldn’t it be strange if I died right now?
The ultra-fast regeneration of blood-red magical power made Taehyun’s movement possible.
Taehyun got right in front of the great devil.
It was at the same time that Gorper stopped casting.
[The spell is complete….]
“Don’t talk nonsense.”
Tiring.
[Skill Ataraxia (SSS) has been activated. Specifies the target.]
[Skill Ataraxia (SSS) has been strengthened. Magic power consumption accelerates.]
“Look into my eyes.”
Hahahahaha.
Purple magical power enveloped the two giants.
* * *
When I first encountered Gorfer, I couldn’t use a single skill.
Currently, Taehyun can use all of his main skills except for ‘Memorize’ and ‘Element of Origin’.
While regaining skills one by one.
The great devil’s momentum, which was like a mountain, was declining compared to before.
There is no change in the fact that he is incomparably stronger than Taehyun.
It was effective to allow multiple attacks because I couldn’t control my curiosity and to use a large amount of magical energy to complete a more perfect spell.
That’s why ‘Ataraxia’ worked.
It was an incomplete memory.
He was born as an archvillain on par with Diablo Beelzebub.
Because he could not take one more step, he could not ascend to the position of Grand Duke.
Likewise, while Diablo disappears and Beelzebub sharpens his sword of vengeance.
The guy didn’t grow at all.
“Cough.”
Taehyun opened his eyes with blood pouring out.
‘Ataraxia’ was canceled midway because it was pierced by Gorper’s tail.
‘shit.’
Contrary to the swearing, there was income.
Because I could tell that this was part of Beelzebub’s hidden territory, and that demons who would fight the turf war were being trained not far away.
Phew.
Taehyun belatedly pulled out Gorper’s tail.
[Kick… Kick… Kick….]
Gorfer, who was also released from the skill, let out an eerie laugh.
The guy shook his head.
Although ‘Ataraxia’ was imperfect, it was because its spirit was not completely destroyed due to its unique magic resistance.
Giggling.
[That bastard… It was the king’s key!!]
There was madness in Gorper’s enemy’s eyes as he said that.
While Taehyun searches for memories.
Incomplete memories have returned completely, even if only for a moment.
Creepy.
[…!!]
A huge force was released, enough to overwhelm the spirit of the four.
[A key!!]
Gorper shouted, unable to contain his joy.
[You are mine. I cannot yield to anyone.]
Just like the other archdukes did.
Gorper, who regained his intact memory, also showed a reaction not much different from his initial thoughts.
“Beelzebub will be happy to hear it.”
[No one can stop desire. Even if he is an archduke.]
Gorper revealed his true colors.
The desire suppressed by hunger awakens, and the memories erased by the king return.
I fully recognized the value of the treasure in front of me.
[It will not be eaten and it will not be offered to Beelzebub.]
The title for Beelzebub has changed from lord to lord.
Fighting. Patter.
The chain surrounding Gorfer’s body broke.
As soon as Taehyun strengthens his spirit.
[The Great Devil will become the Archduke.]
Gorfer spoke as if declaring, exuding venom.
The magic power in my body began to boil as if my skills had gone out of control.
“…!!”
Taehyun’s magical power was suddenly lost.
A message came to mind that the skill ‘Devil’s Saliva’ was resistant to poison.
My eyes flashed from the poison that I could not stop.
Pain followed as if my red eyes were burning.
[The Great Devil will enter the turf war.]
The words uttered as if declaring were filled with an irresistible power.
Taehyun gathered his blurry focus and strengthened his spirit.
Gorfer’s appearance changed to that of the humans he had eaten.
I could see people suffering from Taehyun’s skills.
It’s mocking.
“Bad taste…”
[That’s the devil.]
Smirk.
The corners of Gorfer’s mouth rose.
[It’s a key. The spell is complete.]
‘When…!!’
Even though dozens of skills interfere.
Gorper’s large body approached Taehyeon.
Tiring.
A message emerged that ‘Predation’ was resisting an ominous magical power.
Nevertheless, the man’s magic power that he could not stop was boiling inside his body.
No, the magic power that I allowed when I first got hit by that guy was belatedly stirring inside me.
[It’s a weak start.]
Pugh.
Gorper’s nails pierced Taehyeon’s eyes.
[The apocalypse is huge.]
Coo coo coo coo.
The purple magic power blooming from Taehyun’s body turned dark blue.
It was Gorfer’s own magic power, not Beelzebub’s.
His eerie voice came through my darkened vision.
[The spell has begun.]
[Beelzebub’s contractor. Kasim Zort couldn’t endure much.]
[Rosaria’s Contractor. The King’s Key.]
[What about you?]
Quaduk.
Gorfer’s tail got stuck in Taehyeon’s magic stone.
“Kak…!!”
one two.
Taehyun’s skills began to be canceled.
The message that the progress of the quest was increasing proportionally struck my ears.
[Progress rate: 75… 77… 78… 79%]
‘Why…’
Tiring.
[Encroached upon by enormous magical power.]
That is the last message.
Slurp.
Taehyun’s body collapsed.
