Episode 386:
A new person appeared in Beelzebub’s field of vision.
It was Diablo who was destroyed by the king.
The Fairy King used his specialty, illusionism.
[Beelzebub. Stop giving up. You can’t swallow the essence.]
[Shut up!! On some of the subjects of the original horse!!]
Beelzebub was furious and spread his poison.
The image of Diablo melted away and the Elven’s body turned purple.
[Kkkkkk. A devil terrorizing a child. You’re playing like you look.]
The doppelganger, who was still maintaining his form, taunted Beelzebub.
[Fake things. Hasn’t it disappeared yet?]
Puuk.
Beelzebub drove a thorn directly into the doppelganger’s body.
Cheeeeeeeek!!
Blood flowed from the bulging red eyes.
But it was strange.
It’s a poison that’s strong enough to destroy its form.
Rather, I felt like my magic was being sucked out.
I felt my blood run cold.
[You…what are you?]
“Well. “Who could it be?”
The doppelganger grinned and shook its body.
The skin, which had turned purple and rotten just a moment ago, had returned to its original state.
[No way…]
I knew it the moment my suspicions became confirmed.
That he had been played by Rosaria’s power.
“Did you enjoy your dream?”
[Kills.]
“Isn’t that the authority of only the strong?”
The trembling that happened just a moment ago was nowhere to be seen.
Kick… Kick Kick….
[Does something like a key discuss the power of the original demon?]
“That’s stupid.”
[…!!]
“Where do you think this is?”
You are no longer strong.
He said this while confirming that his power of existence had weakened incomparably at first.
“I think we’ll take the time to get to know each other from now on.”
Taehyun unleashed the magic power he had recovered in Rosaria’s personal space.
Although it is temporary.
Its power was no less than that of Beelzebub.
“If you don’t like it, just leave.”
* * *
What we said was about taking time to get to know each other.
Those weren’t just empty words.
This was an artificial image world created by Rosaria.
This is because it is the best place for Taehyun, who is a contractor at Rosaria and is already living with a monster called a doppelganger in the world of imagination, to show off his skills.
Pupupupupup.
All kinds of thorns pierced Taehyeon’s body.
A miasma symbolizing Beelzebub’s power enveloped the body.
Obviously, its size is not insufficient compared to the one used on Igmun’s clone.
It is a magical power that Kim Tae-hyun, who has a human body and mind, cannot withstand.
I’m sure that’s the case.
“You’ve become weak.”
Taehyun grinned and smiled bitterly.
Is that all?
Taehyun was quickly analyzing the magical energy being injected into his body.
It was to find the magic of the Fairy King contained in Beelzebub’s magic.
There was no way Beelzebub did not know that fact.
On rare occasions, Beelzebub’s excited body spewed out venom, but the more it did, the more Taehyun was able to absorb it all and get closer to the source of magical power.
Kiiiiing-.
Kiiiii-.
The two magic stones of the demon race and the vampire race let out screams and accelerated.
He absorbed Beelzebub’s magic power with the skill ‘True Blood’, refined its power with ‘Heart of the Great Devil’, and took advantage of the opportunity with ‘Eye of the Watcher’.
[You’re making a fuss!!]
Suddenly, a memory of coming back to the fairy tribe came to mind.
I felt like I finally understood.
Not because this whole situation would allow her to fully digest her power.
Elven, the fairy king inhabiting his body.
It was to separate her.
[The King of the Underworld, you damn bastard…]
Only then did Beelzebub, who realized why he had been lured here, burst out in anger.
Taehyun had already accepted a large portion of Beelzebub’s magic stones.
Even Beelzebub’s power is limited by ‘devil’s saliva’ and ‘predation’.
If things continued like this, the Elven’s magic power would be traced to them.
If it’s a key, you don’t know what variables it might cause.
It must be stopped.
Such thoughts filled Beelzebub’s mind.
The blue eyes symbolizing the Elyos scanned Beelzebub’s body.
Numerous racial wars in which we participated in by submitting to the King of the Underworld.
Among them, the Absolute of the Upper World who cut up Beelzebub’s entire body came to mind.
It was creepy.
Instinctively, I shoved the thorn into the hole.
No, I tried to shove it in.
Crack.
The predatory maw that came out of Taehyeon’s body chewed up the thorn and swallowed it.
“Have I become stronger? “Have you become weak?”
Taehyun returned exactly what Beelzebub had said a moment ago.
[Noooom!!!]
A huge poison exploded from Beelzebub’s body.
That’s it. Paz, that is.
Not only was it infecting the area, it was dominating the space.
Whether willingly or unwillingly.
The magic stone, which can be said to be the source of power, ran wild.
It was natural that the amount of magical power Taehyun was receiving increased rapidly.
Even though it can be said to be a world of imagination.
Whoops.
Taehyun vomited blood.
But at least his face was smiling.
This is because it is clearly visible to the ‘eyes of the beholder’ that has been strengthened to the limit.
Inhabited by Beelzebub’s magic.
Another magical power that I have never seen before.
What color should it be?
Although it is engulfed in purple magic.
The color of the original magical power.
‘Radish greens.’
I realized that magical power has no color.
Hwaaaah.
Unlike the shaking blue eyes.
Purple magical power bloomed within the red eyes.
Ugh.
A swamp of predation spread out beneath my feet.
“that day. “Let’s take a look at what happened.”
Kwaduk!!!
The maw of predation swallowed Taehyun and Beelzebub’s bodies.
The two beings who shook the personal space disappeared in an instant.
The place where Taehyun and Beelzebub disappeared.
A maw of predation suddenly appeared there.
Ugh.
A doppelganger appeared from the gaping maw.
The battle between Taehyeon and Beelzebub was contained in the evil glowing red eyes.
[Damn the original guy. You’ve grown amazingly.]
The technique Taehyun used a little while ago was definitely unusual.
The Archduke’s power is only helpful.
The status of Kim Tae-hyun is that he is already at the end of the chosen class.
It seemed to have reached the entrance to the Archduke.
If it continues to grow like this.
He will soon be able to achieve the same status as a full-fledged Grand Duke.
By then, there would be only a handful of people in the underworld who could deal with Taehyeon.
Smirk.
The corners of his mouth went up.
[I need to brace myself.]
The doppelganger whistled and escaped the world of images.
Just like Taehyun, the opportunity has not yet come to him.
But it will come soon.
I planned to watch quietly until then.
* * *
Originally, I had planned to infiltrate Beelzebub’s mental world and read his memories.
Beelzebub’s resistance was stronger than expected.
Taehyun was thrown out somewhere in this guy’s world in an unstable form.
It was a world dominated by an unstoppable poison.
unconscious.
But it was instinct.
Taehyun moved diligently so as not to miss the flow of colorless magic power.
How far did he move to avoid the poison?
We soon arrived at a place where there was a huge magic stone.
The three bodies that form the basis of Beelzebub’s power.
The horn of the great devil.
The Great Devil’s Tail.
The heart of the great devil.
What was in front of me was the heart of the Great Devil, which had the most magical power among them.
Predation could not be used.
Because the current Taehyun has exhausted all his magical power just by approaching this place.
No, would something like a skill be activated here?
Taehyun thought so and approached the magic stone.
[It’s finally here.]
Just like Rosaria.
It was the compassionate voice of a mature woman.
Taehyun’s hand, which was pointing towards the magic stone, stopped in midair.
‘Fairy King?’
[It was called that way once.]
‘….’
[Key. Do you also covet my power?]
The voice that asked that question was extremely gloomy.
‘It looks different from what I heard.’
In order to deal with the Fairy King, not only Beelzebub but dozens of other great demons he had under his control had to be deployed.
The Elven Fairy King that Taehyun thought of was a little stronger.
Did you read those thoughts?
A giggling voice echoed in Taehyun’s head.
[You would know by looking at the T-phone, right? Staying in this state for too long can cause significant damage. It’s rude to read your memories. You couldn’t have come to me in this state and tried not to read my memories, right?]
Taehyun flinched.
This means that Beelzebub can read Taehyun’s memories.
I don’t think he has that much reason left, but there wasn’t much time.
‘Come with me. Fairy King.’
[Is that a suggestion?]
‘If I stay here, won’t I just get swallowed up by Beelzebub?’
[I’m a little disappointed.]
‘…?’
[I thought you would make an interesting offer to me just like you did to Typhon.]
‘….’
[Did you really think that if I said, ‘I’m here to save you, let’s go out’, he would just accept it?]
My mind went blank at the unexpected situation.
It was difficult to say no.
Of course, since I was forcibly swallowed, I just decided that I would want to escape.
‘Nothing is easy.’
I remembered the case of Typhon.
At the time, the guy didn’t seem to be very interested in the revival of the giants.
I just needed new motivation to come back to life.
In Typhon’s case, it was Rosaria.
What about the Fairy King?
There was so little information about her.
[I can’t believe I’m thinking like that now. Don’t you think it’s too insincere?]
Karrrrr.
The Fairy King burst out laughing.
[I hoped that ‘the man’ chosen by God would come. Well, you have your own cute side, right?]
‘Is there something else you want?’
[Hmm~ There is something I want. Will I be able to listen to it with my body? It won’t be enough? No, I’m sure. It’s absolutely impossible with that body.]
‘….’
Taehyun was once again lost in thought at the Fairy King’s confident attitude.
A little while ago, she said something that sounded like she was waiting for the King of the Underworld.
then.
‘I will let you meet the king.’
The Fairy King, who was grumbling at the sudden proposal, showed interest.
[How?]
Taehyun shrugged his shoulders.
‘I’m walking the same path he took. There is nothing that cannot be done as long as it is not detrimental to the king’s plans. ‘I don’t think it would be too late to tell them the conditions then, right?’
In the memory, the king mentioned the word fairy, and immediately after, a quest for the fairy race occurred.
Rosaria also said that the past king wanted to meet the Fairy King, so it was a good offer for both parties.
[good. Then, shall I promise?]
‘I can’t use the skill here…’
This is the moment when I want to say I can’t.
All of a sudden, it seemed like colorless magic was coming out of Beelzebub’s magic stone.
The ten-year-old girl seen earlier appeared.
[Hold my hand. That becomes a contract. The key of the King of the Underworld.]
When she hesitated, she held Taehyeon’s hand with both hands.
It was an instant.
Both eyes lost their function due to the colorless magical power that was softly blooming.
Something writhing flowed into my body.
[Fate… unhappiness… future… the king…]
She seemed to be saying something.
After a while.
I couldn’t hear anything anymore.
* * *
I opened my eyes.
The first thing that came in was Beelzebub vomiting purple liquid.
next to it.
There was a ten-year-old girl, Elven, in the dock.
[Khaak… Kak… Why…]
Beelzebub vomited as he reached out his hand to the Elven that had been separated from his body.
I’m trying to swallow it again.
Sigh.
Taehyun grabbed Beelzebub’s shaking arm.
Cheeeeeeeek.
Just approaching the magic stone consumed a significant amount of existence power.
My body was not protected from its venom.
Taehyun bowed down, hugged the Elven and stepped back.
My legs were so weak that I even stumbled.
[Give me… let go….]
The grand duke’s dignity is nowhere to be found.
It had an ugly appearance, not surprising even if it were a fly.
[Give it to me…!!]
Beelzebub’s red eyes were shining as he shouted.
