Episode 352:
An ancient dragon with high-quality magical power, even among the highest species.
Normally, I would have tried to feast on it somehow.
But ‘Lord of Desire’.
Not now that Gorper’s power had been obtained.
‘Eating it up is not the only solution.’
Taehyun’s body has already become stronger than before.
As he became stronger, not only did he improve physically, but his demonic tendencies became stronger.
Although my stats and body are getting stronger.
That great power can also become poison.
The task now given to Tae-hyeon is not to be subject to demonization, but to use it.
It was necessary to refrain from predation until one got used to the newly acquired power and body of the Great Demon.
Of course, that is not the only reason.
‘I need my own army.’
The great princes who control the species have enormous military power, but they cannot ignore the crowds that follow them.
Right now, Taehyun is running wild to avoid the restrictions of the Abyss.
In case the restrictions become stronger.
‘You never know what variables will arise.’
At worst, we had to keep in mind the possibility that Taehyun would lose the turf war and Asmodeus would win the race war.
In such a situation, can Taehyun and Earth be safe?
Even in order to prepare for a situation where you cannot know what is ahead.
‘We need talented guys.’
The area of Bordeaux is the perfect place to have a hideout.
The two highest-ranking dragons have already been submitted.
In addition, the five elders, including Regiel, were coveted talents.
Among them.
‘Did you say galleon?’
Fazizik. Pajik.
‘Predation’ and ‘passion’.
‘Masuhwa’ and ‘ancient martial arts’.
In addition, as a result of firing all kinds of skills, the guy’s body was completely destroyed.
Nevertheless, he was steadily resisting the chains of bondage.
I thought Regiel was the next leader, but that wasn’t the case.
If the succession position was to be decided by force, the next person should be an old dragon called Galleon.
‘Of course, it seems necessary to make them obey before that.’
Quaaaaa.
Magical power gathered into the galleon’s open mouth.
Even though he had absorbed a lot of magical power, he still attempted this level of breath.
It was truly a coveted dragon heart.
“You have to keep your promise.”
Taehyun strengthened his dark blue magic power.
[Ki…Ah…Ah…]
Galleon struggled under the Great Devil’s spell.
Physically, he was clearly defeated.
He told me to quickly fulfill the contract.
The dark blue magical power is eating away at my body and mind.
Unlike the other elders, whose will had already been broken and there was no strength left to resist.
Only he refused to give in.
If you give in like this, you will gain physical stability, but you will end up becoming Taehyeon’s servant.
For the Galleons, who had lived their entire lives with other species under their feet, it was a shame worse than death.
[Ka…aak…!!]
I could feel the spirit in Galleon’s shout.
Resistance risking one’s life.
Therefore, it was not easy for Taehyeon to force his authority.
‘also. ‘Is there a limit to what can be enforced depending on the state?’
In order to complete the spell, it was necessary to trample on his spirit a little more.
Purple magic power bloomed from the body.
The moment the red eye met the galleon’s huge pupil.
Tiring.
[Skill Ataraxia (SSS) has been activated. Specifies the target.]
Dark blue followed by purple magic penetrated Galleon’s body.
I planned to delve into the world of images, read his memories, and subjugate his mind.
Tiring.
[Skill Ataraxia (SSS) has been strengthened. Magic power consumption is accelerated.]
[Fatigue accumulation is accelerated.]
Tsuzuzuzuzu.
Reinforced purple magical power scattered in all directions.
As Taehyun strengthened his skills, the other four elders who were tied together also let out moaning screams.
[Galleon…]
[It’s dangerous anymore…]
[No… it will disappear…!!]
[Kiaa…] If
the people around them are like this, then How terrible would Galleon be when all his magical power was concentrated on him?
The four elders, who sensed that the eldest member of the clan might disappear, all showed their spirit.
Although he was struck by Taehyeon and was incapacitated.
Everyone had their own feelings about the Galleon’s resistance.
Although it was weak, it was enough to disturb Taehyun, who was concentrating on ‘Ataraxia’.
Tiring.
[Skill’s Eye of the Highest Species (SSS) has been activated.]
[It resonates with the skill Great Devil’s Heart (SSS).] [
Additional effect insight is displayed.]
[Skill proficiency increases.]
Purple-stained The red eyes became even darker.
What they were doing caught my eye.
‘Look at this?’
Even while being powerless due to ‘chains of restraint’ and ‘energy drain’.
A huge amount of magical energy welled up from the five dragon hearts, and the power that resonated in the form of spirit was concentrated on Galleon.
Among the five elders, he is concentrating all his remaining power on the one who has the best chance of winning.
Fazizik. Pajik.
The more their Dragon Hearts squeeze their magical power.
The magic power absorbed through energy drain also increased.
‘Ataraxia’ was strengthened without any help due to the sudden influx of magical power.
If this continues, the spirit of Galleon will be destroyed.
In the end, they would have no choice but to feast on the corpse of the dead one.
Galleon’s memories flowed into Taehyun’s mind like a torn film.
It was not easy to read the memories, perhaps because the resistance grew stronger after receiving the power of the elders.
It’s time for Taehyun to penetrate deeper.
[Did you dare try to subjugate the main dragon?]
Galleon’s roar rang in my head.
‘…!!’
Talking to me while suffering from ataraxia?
Dismissal!!!
The skill was canceled at the same time as it felt like a fuse had blown in my brain.
An energy that had never been seen before was surging from Galleon’s body.
‘Runaway?’
Pajik. Pajik.
The galleon’s massive body was regenerating at high speed with sparks.
The chains of restraints that had been placed around the body to use the energy drain were broken one by one.
[This power… I’m not using it against humans or anything…]
Kwajik. Kwasik. Kwasik.
It seemed like the chains that were binding me were broken one by one, and the thunderstorm surrounding my body disappeared.
The body of the guy who soared above the rare once again began to change.
The huge wings disappeared as if they had degenerated, and the fat lizard-like body became longer than before.
On the blue scales, more sparks than before were wrapped around the body.
It looks like an oriental dragon.
It was no different from the blue dragon.
[I admit it. You are the first to see this.]
Quaaaa.
Magical power condensed out of Galleon’s mouth.
‘It’s not breath.’
Unlike breath, the range was not wide.
Its shape was more like a bead, neater than a magic bullet.
“Maybe it’s Yeouiju?”
Whatever its shape.
The magical power felt was superior to the breath I had faced so far.
The problem is that the power of the beads that reveal the energy of lightning continues to grow.
‘Even if it turns into a demonic beast… it is not a power that can be received with physical ability.’
Even if you endure it, considerable bleeding is expected.
A match like that was out of the question.
Tiring.
[Skill Energy Drain (SSS) has been strengthened. Magic consumption is accelerated.]
[Skill Energy Compose (SSS) has been strengthened. Magic power consumption accelerates.]
Pupuk. Puff poop poop.
Tsuzzzzzzzz.
Quaaaaaaaaa.
A huge amount of magical power gathered through the chains that bound the four elders, including Regiel.
I aimed my dragon slayer sword at Galleon.
A blue bead filled with the properties of lightning was created at the tip of the sword.
It imitates Galleon’s technology.
[Arrogant…]
“It’s short for a will.”
With that said, finally.
Two Yeouiju collided.
* * *
It was a pretty messy battle.
A new type of breath created by Galleon.
Yeouiju clearly showed great power.
The more it was used, the less powerful it became.
Taehyun was also less powerful, but the source of magical power he used was different.
Unlike Galleon, who concentrated his magical power, Taehyun dealt with Yeouiju, created by squeezing the dragon hearts of the four elders.
In the end, it was a battle where the winner was decided.
The small Yeouiju made by Taehyun hit the center of Galleon’s body.
Pow!!
Although it was a small hole, its power was not light.
thud!!
The massive body of the guy who had always been radiating energy as if he were the god of lightning crashed.
Fazizik. Pajik.
This time, perhaps because all of its power had been used up, the body that had turned into a blue dragon was changing back to its original form.
“He’s a hot guy.”
Taehyun said while looking at the collapsed tower.
It was the result of Galleon’s Yeouiju.
[Cl…Cl…Cl….]
From the blue dragon to the form of a dragon.
From dragon form back to human form.
Galleon, who had already used up all of his magical power and had no strength left to maintain his body, let out a sound that could be either laughter or groaning.
[Skill Master of Desire (SSS) is enforced.]
Crrrrrrr.
Dark blue magic bloomed from inside Galleon’s body.
The magic power of the Great Devil that he had accepted by attacking him earlier had been forced upon him.
Even though he was defeated in the first round, he did not submit to Taehyeon.
He fought a second battle, even breaking the magic contract, but lost.
That risk has only now emerged.
[Master…..]
Galleon’s red eyes were shaking as his mental breakdown began.
His speech was slurred, and the blue scales that symbolized his clan had rotted away.
If you want to save it, it is not impossible, but it will no longer be as majestic as before.
‘It was unfortunate.’
If you try to covet a cow, you can lose the cow.
If Galleon, who lost his power here, is left alive, the four elders watching from behind will someday target Taehyun.
Taehyun placed his hand on Galleon’s head.
Tiring.
[Unique skill Predation (SSS) has been activated.]
Oh my.
The maw that rose from beneath Taehyeon’s feet began to tear at the old dragon’s body, which had lost its strength.
Kwaduk!! Kwaduk!! Kwaduk!!
[Master… Why…]
Galleon, who had already been engulfed by the spell, was completely obedient, but Taehyeon only intensified his predation.
Kwasik!!!
The maw of devouring swallowed the galleon without leaving a single scale.
Taehyun looked back while checking the message that some stats had increased.
There were four elders there, stained with despair and anger.
“What is the answer?”
[Kill….]
[I would rather die than be fooled by insects.]
[You will not be safe either.]
[The curse of the clan will be with you.]
The answer of the four elders was as expected.
“I didn’t say I had a choice.”
Tiring.
[Skill Master of Desire (SSS) is mandatory.]
[Skill proficiency is insufficient.]
It seems that he developed resistance to magic because he watched Galleon’s struggle.
‘Tsk. It’s a shame, but there’s nothing we can do.’
[bloke!! Even if you have to make us all submit, you can’t make us obey…]
Garot shouted as if it was laughable.
“Win.”
Taehyun snapped his fingers.
Ugh.
[…!!]
[…!!]
[…!!]
[…!!]
Before the four elders had time to say anything, the maw of devouring swallowed Garot.
A message came to mind that my stats had increased, just like when I was Galleon.
at the same time.
[Skill Master of Desire (SSS) is mandatory. The target has been identified.]
Crrrrrrr.
Regiel Satiel Malthael.
Dark blue magical power bloomed from inside the bodies of the three elders.
By reducing the magic power scattered among the four elders by one, the control of the power became stronger.
“Obey.”
Taehyun ordered.
and.
[I will follow.]
[I will follow.]
[I will follow.]
Boom. thud. thud.
The three elders, who had strong pride, hit their heads together without any regard for who would go first.
Even if it was a false loyalty forced by skill, it wasn’t bad.
The future battle will become even more intense.
“Don’t worry. I have no intention of exploiting the Blue clan.”
Smirk.
Seeing Taehyun smiling bitterly.
[….]
[….]
[….]
The three elders’ red eyes shook violently.
