Episode 336:
The Deepest Level.
Deep in a hidden realm.
The size of the 66 castles of Beelzebub located there was on a different level from ordinary castles.
Of course.
This is because Beelzebub was training troops to perfect the ranking of the princes and have a justification to challenge the King of the Underworld in order to lead the turf war to victory.
The further outside the castle you go, the more difficult it becomes to completely block the magic.
Even putting that aside, it was a place that could train tens of thousands of monsters.
Monsters also reproduce like humans.
The process varies greatly depending on the species.
Some species have no gender, some are hermaphroditic, and some live a life similar to that of humans.
Like the Demon Beast Tribe, the Demon Tribe, which encompasses various species, included all of these forms.
Even at this very moment, a baby monster was born through same-sex mating, a high-level species was born from the beginning, and a monster close to the highest level was created.
All of these would later be strengthened with Gorfer and power and become Beelzebub’s faithful dogs.
Taehyun visits here.
This was certainly the case until Gorper took on the doppelganger entangled in the world of images as his new lord.
A huge hall where Gorper’s throne is located and where meals are held at the same time.
Taehyeon, sitting on a throne made of dragon bones, was watching the entire hidden area as if he were watching.
The developed red eye strengthened the eye power to the point where one could see even the edge of a distant area.
Gorper’s body was seen landing on the ground.
Unbelievable energy and magic detection.
The appearance was not much different from the image world.
[It has begun.]
Taking over Taehyun’s body.
He, otherwise known as the doppelganger, said with a grin.
Gorper arrived in front of the humans who had crossed the gate and started searching, and the battle began immediately.
The humans were Taehyun’s colleagues.
Taehyun Kim.
No, he who is called a doppelganger is someone I have seen quite a bit.
They are one of the strongest people in their world, and they are organized to find Taehyun, who is their vessel.
Like a fighting pro.
Their movements against the Great Devil were unusual.
He has grown tremendously compared to when I first saw him.
But to that extent.
[You cannot be an opponent of the Great Devil.]
He watched the battle again.
Gorfer uses most of his magical power to form a spell with himself.
He is unable to use the power he deserves to be called the Great Devil.
However, there was a gap between humans like David and Goliath.
What if you could have used that level of power when dealing with Taehyun?
Before I could do anything, I would have been pierced by those poisonous nails and died.
[That’s what being weak is all about.]
The doppelganger snapped its long fingers.
It seemed like a scream could be heard from somewhere in the castle, and the magic power within the body became thicker.
The devouring magic that had been spread throughout the castle through just the actions of a moment ago had consumed the five high-ranking species.
Higher species.
For him now, he can’t even be considered a meal.
At least they were enough to enjoy their regained power.
[How I hoped for a situation like now.]
The doppelganger smiled and snapped his fingers again.
Sigh. Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
I sensed something being dragged hastily along with the sound of a chain being dragged.
Soon, the door to the hall opened with a clicking sound.
A top-class monster, one of Gorper’s henchmen, has appeared.
It’s not even the highest level species.
Compared to the Great Devil, it is only at a much lower level.
At most, it would be as good as Centamion, the first demon beast Taehyun faced.
The guy with bat-like wings looked surprised when he saw Taehyun sitting in Gorper’s seat.
This is because the castle owner, Gorper, is not visible and a human reassembled with the body of another race is sitting on the throne.
And that too while holding his own leash.
The highest type of devil.
Goma shouted and tried to rush at Taehyeon.
However, before it could spread its wings, Goma’s body was thrown to the floor by the tightened chains.
Taehyun burst out laughing when he saw that.
Magical energy scattered from Goma’s body.
As a member of the Great Devil, he was given some of the power of desire from the beginning.
and.
[I chose the right one.]
That was the reason why Taehyun chose him out of all the monsters.
Taehyun, satisfied with his ability to detect magical power, lifted the chain.
Susssseu.
The chains that were controlling Goma’s body disappeared completely.
Goma, who was radiating magical power, looked at Taehyeon and expressed his fighting spirit.
[Who are you?]
[You are the new owner of the castle.]
[…!!]
Goma’s body froze at the unexpected words.
Taehyun grinned at the sight.
It was natural for Goma to think that Taehyun was making fun of him.
The highest grade mass-produced by Gorper.
The goma’s wings flapped.
That alone was enough to reach Taehyun’s nose.
That’s when the guy’s sharp nails were about to swing towards Taehyun’s neck.
Phew.
Before that, something penetrated Goma’s back.
It was a blood-red sword.
[Knock… Knock….]
Goma’s sharp nails scratched the floor.
This is to remove the blood sword that penetrates the back and stomach and is stuck in the floor.
[It’s pathetic to have no power.]
Taehyun said as if looking at a poor creature.
The sight was not at all different from how the Archduke looked at others.
While Taehyun was lost in such sentiments.
The goma’s wings flapped.
Although it will be painful, I intend to throw my body upward and escape the blood test.
[Where.]
Taehyun chuckled and pointed to Goma’s wings with his index finger.
Puff poop.
The three blood swords pierced both wings as well as Goma’s neck and slammed him back into the ground.
Thick blood soaked the floor.
[Kak…]
Goma twisted her body, but it seemed impossible to escape.
It’s surprising that it penetrates its own hard leather, but it doesn’t even have super-fast regeneration.
That meant that the opponent’s magic power was much higher than his own and that there was something in the magic power that would interfere with regeneration.
Belatedly, Goma’s expression hardened.
He thought it was simply an intruder while Gorper was away, but his thoughts changed when he found out that it was not his opponent.
It’s not like it’s the highest species.
At least a great devil like Gorfer.
Either that or else.
[Arch…]
Except for higher-ranking species that catch prey, going outside the territory is strictly restricted.
Therefore, even Goma, who was born and raised here, has no choice but to have dark news about things outside of her territory.
He examined the blood sword that pierced his body.
It was similar to Igmun’s, the so-called Vampire Lord.
This is ridiculous.
The fact that the Archduke, not Beelzebub, is coming here.
[Who… are you… why…]
[Can’t you understand the situation?]
Taehyun snapped his fingers again while saying that.
Tsuzzzzzzzz.
Without even asking what Goma said, the magic power was sucked out.
This is a technique that Taehyun calls ‘Energy Drain’.
It is imitating Igmun’s power, ‘absorption’.
Sigh. Continue.
Goma’s body, which was robbed of its magic in an instant, dried up like a mummy.
yet.
Poseok.
The body of the highest-ranking monster, which had not even the slightest magical power left behind, was destroyed.
The absorption was so meticulous that even the strongest magic gemstones of the highest level were crumbled to pieces.
‘Energy Drain’ used by Taehyun.
It was a level that could not be compared to that.
[It’s really not that bad.]
Isn’t it comparable to the original power?
Even at this level, there is no significant difficulty in moving.
Rather, from now on, I had to expand my bowl by catching famous ones among the top species.
Archdemon Gorfer.
This guy is the first stepping stone.
The doppelganger, who was enjoying the magic of the body, suddenly cursed.
It is directed at the king who has always sealed himself in a world of images, which even the Grand Duke despises.
It took less than two years for Taehyun to create the current bowl.
In the world of imagination, it was a time that was difficult to express with the word distant.
Damn king.
Damn you guys.
While swearing like that, I observed the current situation.
The battle was in full swing even during the brief moment he was taking care of Goma.
[Rosaria guy. I made a spare.]
The image of a woman came into Taehyun’s eyes.
Yoo Ah-young.
It was a human woman I had met once in Jeju Island.
At that time, it was no different from a bug that attacked me without knowing the subject.
When he gained Rosaria’s power, he was able to withstand Gorper’s attack by fluttering purple magical energy, albeit a weak one.
If it weren’t for her, the party would have been completely destroyed.
Gorper was taken aback for a moment by the unexpected power.
Soon after using the power of the great devil, a seriously injured human appeared.
[Was it unfortunate?]
The life of the weak is always miserable.
And there was one person inside himself who was struggling.
When the spell is over, Gorper will become a grand duke, his desire to have a body will come true, and he will have a stronger grip on the body.
That’s it.
I heard someone’s voice in my head.
The original owner of the vessel.
It was Taehyun Kim.
[Let’s start with this one too.]
* * *
The doppelganger opened his eyes.
A pure white space came into view.
Personal space.
Similar yet different from the world of images.
It was an area that only great supply beings could handle.
[Have they been hiding in a place like this?]
Two doppelgängers in front of them.
He said while looking at Taehyun and Rosaria.
“It looks like you knew.”
Taehyun, who had completely recovered from physical and mental fatigue, said this.
[Didn’t the woman tell you? It’s impossible to completely fool that guy’s feelings.]
Rosaria clicked her tongue and answered.
That confidence even in front of the Archduke.
It seemed like it would be a more intense battle than I thought.
[Isn’t this the last struggle? Are you ready?]
The doppelganger asked with a grin.
I knew right away that it had not been completely eroded by Rosaria’s power.
He is also worried that he will be discovered, so he hides in the personal space created by Rosaria rather than in the world of images, looking for an opportunity.
Still, I waited.
It was to completely consume Rosaria and Taehyeon.
Revealing his identity like this probably means that the stage to defeat him is ready.
[What kind of trick did you prepare this time?]
[What a trick. [You have a bad habit of speaking on a subject that has been robbed.]
Rosaria criticized the doppelganger for being a shameless person.
[Personal space. It really is an interesting structure.]
The magical power of the said doppelganger began to assimilate with the surroundings.
[contractor! That guy is reading the structure of space!!]
“What…?”
Taehyun asked back as if he was dumbfounded by the unprecedented and unprecedented act.
[Did you think you would have a chance of winning if you recovered your body?]
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
The pure white area was covered with dark red magical power.
[Why did you think it would be worth it to just have one Archduke at the forefront?]
Tsuzuzuzu.
The dark red magic power swallowed up the purple magic power.
Just right.
The doppelganger snapped his fingers.
A personal space formed by Rosaria.
The space began to shake unstably.
[…!!]
“…!!”
It was an instant.
A pure white space.
Like a desert under a red sky.
What changed to the original image world.
[Now you know for sure. Who is in control?]
Smirk.
The corners of the doppelganger’s mouth rose.
[I am the master of this world.]
Tsk, tsk.
In many places, the maw of predation appeared as if it were serving its master.
An incomparable fighting spirit radiated from the guy’s body.
[I am the owner of this body.]
