Episode 368:
The three women, who clearly took human form, were clad in armor of brilliance.
It was something Taehyun had seen before.
Cody Cruz’s skills.
‘Holy Night.’
At Jormungand’s misdeeds, all eyes in the Temple of Blood turned to those clad in brilliance.
[I ended up committing this…]
Igmun’s red eyes trembled uncharacteristically.
upper and lower world.
Elyos and monsters.
As the name suggests, Elyos have greater power than monsters.
Nevertheless, the balance was maintained due to the relatively large number of individuals and the absolute power of anti-aircraft.
Due to the laws of the Abyss, where intangible forces operate, Elyos cannot wander around freely.
Just as the Archdukes used some method to avoid the laws of the Abyss, the Elyos also had a method.
Also, since they were summoned by Jormungand with the intention of winning this bet, I thought they would not be low-level Elyos.
The prediction was correct.
The person who walked out of the gate was neither a low-class nor a middle-class, but a high-class Elyos.
Valkyrie.
[It’s been a while since I last saw you.]
Rosaria said, looking at their armor.
Contrary to the friendly tone.
The disgust in his voice could not be hidden.
Likewise, the expressions on the faces of the three suddenly summoned Valkyries were also not good.
[You got caught.]
[Is this Jormungand’s doing?…]
[Rosaria and Igmun… It’s a trap.]
Their eyes, hidden by golden helmets, glowed blue.
Blue eyes contrasting with the monster’s red eyes.
A spear of brilliance was created in the hand wrapped in armor.
[Let’s hear the name.]
Rosaria asked with a grin.
[There is no reason to answer the monster.]
One of the Valkyries replied, pointing a spear at her.
Such a proud attitude in front of the Grand Duke.
Unlike other monsters who were holding their breath, Taehyun gave a small exclamation.
[Who do these insignificant things dare to aim their spears at?]
Igmun, who usually looked down on Rosaria, could not bear it and showed his teeth.
Although they are enemies on the outside, Rosaria is also the Grand Duke.
For such an archduke to be ignored is the same as being ignored himself.
It is said that those gathered here are divided into three areas.
Now that they had a common enemy called the Elyos before them, they had to be seen as being tied together into the larger category of monsters.
There are as many as three archdukes there.
Even if they are the highest level Elyos, they should not take that kind of attitude.
Rosaria, who had not responded to the harsh insults, opened her mouth.
[Gune Eir Scal.]
[…!!]
[…!!]
[…!!]
[That’s your name.]
Rosaria, who read their memories for a moment, burst out laughing.
It was a mocking laugh that said he couldn’t hide anything in front of himself.
Keying.
The Spear of Radiance he was holding gave off an even more intense light.
The three Valkyries hurled their spears at the three archdukes.
Wow.
A shock wave of brilliance spread throughout the area.
‘This is crazy.’
It’s unbelievable power.
Even though it was a lightly swung attack, Taehyun’s senses told him that each of the three Valkyries’ attacks was comparable to a single Yeouiju.
It’s time to open your magic to power beyond your imagination.
[Naughty.]
[Insignificant.]
[Ahahaha.]
Jormungand. Excuse me. Rosaria waved her hand lightly.
Hehehe.
Quaaaaa.
Tsuzzzzzz.
That alone canceled out the huge shock wave.
The three Valkyries raised their brilliance again.
It was a power that those who knew the existence of the upper world otherwise called sacred power.
[Calm down.]
Jormungand quietly advised them amidst the tense tension.
The tone was soft, but it contained an undeniable power.
[Your opponents are not us.]
Rosaria continued.
[I can kill you if you want.]
Igmun said and snapped his fingers.
Tsuzzzzzzzzzz.
Blood-red magic surrounded the area.
A very large blood field was created.
In addition to the barrier operating at the Temple of Blood, the power of Igmun’s descendants was further strengthened.
[oh. [You can also be a coward.]
It’s time for Rosaria to say that.
Sigh.
Jormungand also snapped his fingers.
Crrrrrrr.
The overflowing blue magic power instantly formed a demonic sea.
The magical power of Jormungand’s subordinates began to rise rapidly.
“Rosaria, what about us?”
Taehyun asked while looking at Rosaria.
[….]
Let her be silent for a moment.
[contractor. Can you at least create a world of images?]
“….”
In order to compete in the world of images, Rosaria must continuously participate in battles.
That did not meet the conditions of the bet.
“You shouldn’t talk.”
Tiring.
[Skill Apocalypse (SSS) has been activated. Expands the range.]
[Skill Great Demon’s Heart (SSS) has been activated.]
[Proficiency of all skills increases.] Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamwhere the range?] [
Skill Great Devils Heart (SSS)?]?
Kiiiiing.
Darkness fell around Taehyun.
Before I knew it, four fields had formed in the Temple of Blood.
A vampire who unlocked magical power in the blood field created by Igmun.
An ocean current tribe that unleashed magical power in the magical sea created by Jormungand.
Three Valkyries emitting brilliant light.
and.
Those who raised speculation in Taehyeon’s apocalypse seemed to be confronting each other.
Sparks flew whenever the four areas touched.
[ruler. Then we will retreat.]
[Do not pollute your home’s castle.]
[Igmun. You’re not good at welcoming guests.]
Self-sseu.
Ssssss.
Ssssssut.
Without even thinking about who was first, the three archdukes disappeared.
They used their own techniques to escape the area.
He’s probably sitting leisurely not far away and watching.
The bet Jormungand proposed was who would hunt more Elyos.
‘You can’t hunt them all at once.’
The military power that Taehyun had brought with him was considerable, but there had to be a reason for choosing only three Valkyries as his prey.
‘It is ideal to distribute them one by one. ‘Use the ruler of desire…’
That’s when Taehyun thought.
Wow!!
“…!!”
[…!!]
[…!!]
Starting with the head of one of Jormungand’s servants being blown off.
The battle has begun.
* * *
[How dare you guys try to choose an opponent?]
Valkyrie Gunne has stepped into the realm of Apocalypse.
Every time she walks.
The surroundings became bright, putting the darkness of the apocalypse to shame.
“You’re going to take on ten by yourself?”
Is it arrogance or confidence?
“You’ll find out when you check.”
Tiring.
[The skill Eye of the Highest Species (SSS) has been activated.]
[Skill Apocalypse (SSS) has been strengthened. Magic power consumption accelerates.]
Coo coo coo coo.
Sigh. Chrrrrrr.
Valkyrie Gunne quietly looked at the pressure that was weighing her down and the chains that surrounded her.
But even for a moment.
Let’s swing the spear.
Wow!!
‘Apocalypse’ was shaking uneasily as if it were a living creature and had been hit directly by the spear.
“…!!”
[Don’t look down on them.]
Gilpere’s voice rang in my head.
It was a technique possessed by only a few top species.
“Do you know each other?”
[well. I just want to tell you that they are at least as good as Bonma’s heyday.]
“…!!”
The current Taehyeon cannot completely compete with Gilper, who has given up his powers.
The Valkyrie in front of me.
She’s on the same level as Gilpere in his prime?
Gilpere’s voice continued.
Her voice was urgent, as if she, too, was an unexpected opponent.
[The powers of the Elyos are determined according to the master they serve. Their master is Odin of the 7 Heavens. His power is ‘Rune.’]
‘Rune?’
[okay. It allows you to use the collected runes no matter what the target is.]
“It’s ambiguous. A little more accurate information….”
[That is the Elyos. In particular, that guy seems to be able to manipulate at least five runes.]
As she said, a slightly darker brilliance was flashing in five places on Gunne’s body in the ‘eyes of the highest species’.
It even makes you feel as if there are five magic stones.
When Taehyun was looking at Valkyrie’s body.
Valkyrie Gunne also saw Taehyun and his group at a glance.
Giants who have been reduced in size.
A demon tribe whose identity is hidden.
A polymorphed dragon.
Plus, there’s a human who smells something unpleasant.
What’s even more surprising is that the leader of all the powerful people in the Abyss appears to be that person.
[You will find out when you open the ship.]
Gunne swung the spear once while casually saying the scary words.
Huh.
[I’ll try it.]
Pazizik.
Erebos, wearing a thunderbolt, stepped forward.
His fist, one of the best among the highest species, collided with the spear.
And then something unbelievable happened.
bang!!
Erebos was thrown away.
The repulsion was so strong that if Apocalypse’s chains had not held it, it would have been thrown back into the sea or the blood field.
‘strong.’
Enough to deal with everyone here.
Only then did I understand why Jormungand had brought these guys.
From the beginning, I thought that the top 10 species from each clan would hunt these guys.
In fact, these Valkyries were about to make their subordinates hunt.
What if one of the others gets pushed out?
Rather, ten of the highest species have to deal with two Valkyries.
‘The numerical advantage disappears.’
In the worst case, you may end up dealing with all three Valkyries.
The subject of the bet is who will hunt the most Valkyries.
A failed bet means you have to abstain or lose your life.
Jormungand does not want the key to die, so he is trying to create a situation in which Taehyun has no choice but to abstain.
‘As expected, you’re pulling an interesting trick, Jormungand.’
Even as he was shaking his head, Gunne was approaching, enduring the aggression from the seven elders.
If this continues, we will have no choice but to enter into an all-out war.
‘It takes ten of the highest-ranking species to be equal to only one Valkyrie.’
So what if you put Valkyrie in a fight with another guy?
The shorter the worry, the faster the choice, the better.
Tiring.
[Skill Master of Desire (SSS) has been activated. [Specifies the target.]
Dark blue magical power bloomed from Taehyun’s body.
“Valkyrie. “How about we hold hands?”
[….]
Gunne, who had been advancing despite his defeat, stopped moving.
The only thing visible, hidden by the helmet, is the eyes and mouth.
I could clearly see that it was absurd.
[That power. It’s Gorper’s.]
“If you knew, it would be quicker to talk about it.”
Taehyun made an interesting proposal to Gunne.
If all three Valkyries, including her, support him.
I will end this battle right now and help you get out of here.
“You know that what I said wasn’t a lie.”
Because those blue eyes seemed to see through lies.
Gunne’s worries did not last as long as expected.
Huh.
I heard light flashing from her window.
Grrrr.
The radiant light simply extinguished the surrounding dark blue magical power.
“It’s a shame.”
[Be careful. It doesn’t go well with your lack of skill and desire.]
“Please tell me about that earlier.”
Taehyun grunted and pulled out his dragon slayer sword.
Gunne is extending his spear.
‘It flows without blocking.’
To avoid repeating the mistake Erebos made.
Taehyun lightly pushed away her stabbing spear.
Just that.
Kigigigigeek.
The Dragon Slayer Sword screamed.
“…!!”
It felt like the skin on my hand holding the sword was peeling off.
‘It’s not an ordinary window?’
[That weapon is also made of runes.]
‘Please tell me about that sooner…!!’
Gunne turned around and swung the spear, blocking it with his dragon slayer sword.
Taehyun’s body bounced from the impact.
It was a strength that did not match his size.
[That is also Rune Armor….]
“Don’t just say that!!”
Taehyun raised his magic power, ignoring Gilpere’s voice.
With that as a signal, the seven elders appeared in their original form.
A huge spirit was focused on Valkyrie.
But it seems like such spirit is ridiculous.
Fuhuaak.
In an instant, the wings of the two elders were torn off.
[Khahaha!! Ouch…!!]
The giant body of Erebos bounced off.
Only Gilperman.
Kyaang.
He only blocked the Spear of Radiance with his poisonous claws.
“Look at that.”
It seems like he doesn’t like Taehyun.
The following skill was used.
