Episode 393
“It would be great if it were like this already.”
Taehyun said without question to anyone.
I said it with a big smile.
It was close to a sarcasm directed at those who tried to take advantage of him.
[Unless you decide to die!!]
Without even looking back.
Igmun shouted, blocking the doppelganger’s path.
This is because he has to take on the risk again if the contractor dies.
This time, Rosaria is evaluated as the weakest of the great dukes.
I didn’t know if I would be downgraded to the point of being on the same level as her.
After colliding with the doppelganger and losing strength, I tried to easily obtain both Elven and Kim Tae-hyun.
[Is your life so worthless?]
Igmun chewed and spat it out.
The hand holding the blood sword trembled with rising anger.
No matter how much it takes to attract yourself.
I guess he didn’t know that he would let go of the sword in front of the guy who even chewed up his own blood sword.
Igmun poured out his boiling anger at his doppelganger.
Suddenly!!
Tsuzzzz!!
The magic power of the predation cut by the blood sword was absorbed by Igmun.
predation and absorption.
It was a battle of magical powers to devour each other.
Meanwhile, the Elven was also showing a similar reaction to Igmun.
[I managed to escape from Beelzebub. Now, I am being held captive by a crazy contractor.]
He said that this is something that cannot be done without going beyond boldness and going crazy.
Her grunting echoed in Taehyun’s head.
‘I didn’t know you would think of me as a contractor.’
[Do not put the main point to the test. It is a promise that can be canceled at any time.]
‘Be cold.’
The Elven felt a strange emotion at Taehyun’s sly reaction.
It’s a feeling that I thought had become dull after being poisoned for a long time.
It had been a while since I met Taehyun, and I could vividly feel the change in my emotions.
[They said it was a key. It truly has an unusual presence.]
‘What?’
Taehyun took a moment to ask a question in response to the incomprehensible muttering.
[You have nothing to know. It is a ‘revocable promise’. Just keep this in mind.]
Taehyun nodded at the Elven’s threat.
The Elven let out a small breath.
Now that she was in contact with his body, she could read Taehyun’s thoughts if she concentrated just a little.
And that this reckless contractor is not doubting his own words.
Although she did not directly enter into an oath of summoning, it was a promise made through her magic power.
Taehyun didn’t know it, but it was a promise that was as risky as the oath of summons.
After being encroached upon by Beelzebub for a long time, her existence was also greatly reduced.
The once brilliant magic gemstone was damaged and seemed unable to exert its proper power.
We will have to create a new magic stone.
So, if you lose the contractor again without even forming a complete magic stone.
This time, there was a high possibility of extinction without any possibility of recovery.
This is a more serious situation than Igmun, who is angry that he will be destroyed.
When I thought about that, I suddenly got angry and started screaming.
‘He’s a hysterical fairy king.’
Taehyun thought that and quickly took a step back.
The Elven and Igmun were still talking inside and out, but it was ignored.
‘It was definitely dangerous.’
Taehyun recalled the situation from a little while ago.
I didn’t intend to give up my life so easily.
They say they put down a dragon slayer sword.
Even though I closed my eyes.
All my attention was focused on the energy feeling.
I was confident that I could avoid the doppelganger’s predation at least once.
Of course, even that may have seemed like a reckless act to them.
I grabbed the dragon slayer sword that I had left on the floor again.
Just by turning the magical power, the ‘root element’ was activated and a thunderstorm raged.
In front, Igmun was fiercely swinging his blood sword, and behind his back, an Elven was emitting colorless magic and gathering magic power.
It felt like I had a shield that could block everything and a spear that could pierce everything at the same time.
“Now I need to hear the story. “What is that guy?”
Elven clicked her tongue in response to Taehyun’s question.
I don’t like the commanding attitude.
Still, I couldn’t help but answer.
[Didn’t I tell you? It is a thought created by Bonyo’s magic power.]
“Simply. And in detail.”
Taehyun said while keeping his eyes on Igmun, who was furiously tearing apart the maw of the predator that surrounded me.
This was to avoid the body at any time if the gate was breached.
The Elven’s explanation continued.
[Bonyo’s magic contains life. Wouldn’t it be natural that side effects would follow if someone who can’t handle that power uses it?]
“Is that what embodies thoughts?”
[You understand well. Bonyo’s magical power has judged that that doppelganger is the most evil thought and weakness inherent in you.]
Taehyun nodded.
The Elven is saying that the existence in front of her is a side effect of her power.
If someone who lacks his power uses it, his inherent thoughts will materialize and threaten his life.
‘It’s not wrong.’
It was natural that a doppelganger was implemented.
Among Taehyun’s weapons, the strongest skill is definitely predation.
This guy can be said to be Taehyun’s strongest protector and enemy at the same time.
[There is no reason in the thoughts embodied by Bonyo’s magic. I just do my best to destroy those I regard as enemies.]
‘Enemies…’
Only then did I understand why Beelzebub had been unable to digest the Elven for such a long time.
Just like Taehyun did a moment ago.
What if, in a hurry, the Elven’s magic touches Beelzebub’s inner thoughts?
We may not know it, but something catastrophic would have happened to the entire Abyss.
‘I ended up with an absurd guy.’
This is when Taehyun thinks that with this guy’s power, it would not be too much of a stretch to restore Typhon to perfect condition.
Kwasik!!
Igmun’s arm, holding the blood sword, was torn off by the suddenly rising maw of predation.
[You bastard!!]
Ig-moon, along with Noseong, plunged the blood spear into the doppelganger’s body.
Tsuzzzzzz!!
The magical power of the doppelganger was sucked in through the blood spear.
Kwasik!!
Even that was just eaten away without a trace by the maw protruding from the doppelganger’s body.
[I guess the thoughts inherent in you can only be dealt with at the level of the archduke’s body.]
At the Elven’s words, Taehyun looked around.
Typhon Rosaria Gilfer and others were watching the battle outside the blood field that Igmun had spread.
Those who were once archdukes, those who hold the position of archdukes, and those who want to become archdukes.
All of them can be said to have power beyond common sense, but if their opponent is a doppelganger, they cannot avoid extinction.
‘I won’t let you get involved in this battle.’
[Why?]
Elven asked Taehyun’s promise.
‘Power loss is a specification.’
[Could it be because they are colleagues?]
The Elven’s laughter echoed in my head.
[He said he was a colleague, but in reality, he was a burden.]
“I would even say that.”
[You probably think of it as something that needs to be protected at all times. He probably thinks that he can’t do it except himself.]
“….”
[Even though he’s already a grand duke, he’s not lacking in arrogance.]
“You’re giving me undeserved praise.”
[Don’t be mistaken. Bonyo’s magical power is not that easy. [This means that it is only a matter of time before arrogance becomes death.] He
spat out harsh words, saying that the Elven was already acting as if he were an archduke.
at that time.
Ugh. Ugh. Wow.
Magical power extended like a shadow from the doppelganger’s body and surrounded the area.
It was towards the blood field that Igmun had spread out.
Igmun, unable to regenerate his arms, took advantage of the opportunity to throw his body back.
Crack. Quad deuk.
Damn it. So so so so so.
It took less than 5 seconds for the predator to devour the entire blood field.
Even the current Igmun.
“I guess I’m no match for you, the irrational guy.”
Once again, the realm of the doppelganger felt so distant that I got goosebumps.
[Contractor!!]
The moment the blood field was broken.
I could clearly hear Rosaria’s voice shouting.
But even for a moment.
Ugh. Ugh.
The Maw of Predation took its place and blocked access from the outside.
The doppelganger also defined Igmun and the Elven as enemies.
When I looked at Igmun, his face was distorted like never before.
“Don’t come in!!”
Taehyun shouted.
Following Beelzebub, we faced ancient great demons.
If we overdid it here, Rosaria’s reputation could have suffered.
Rosaria could not be lost in the plan created to revive Typhon.
Taehyun’s eyes turned to Igumoon.
“But you are different.”
He made a pact of summoning, but even if his reputation is damaged by the disappearance of his alter ego, it is not very important to Taehyun.
Rather, I didn’t know if I could use him more effectively under the pretext of restoring my status.
[Don’t you dare look at Bon-gwi like that.]
Ig-moon, who realized what Tae-hyeon was thinking, growled.
That didn’t take long.
This is because the doppelganger recognized Igmun as the obstacle that needed to be eliminated first.
Kwaduk!!
The predatory maw ate up the blood spear thrown by Igmun without hesitation.
[Abominable!!]
Tsuzuzuzu!!
Blood-red magic bloomed from Igmun’s body.
Magical energy covered the arm that had been torn off and could not be regenerated.
Blood-red magic took the shape of an arm.
Although it cannot perform ultra-fast regeneration, it was made to perform the role of an arm using magical power.
[The original spirit does not back down.]
As Igmun said that, he took a step towards the doppelganger.
It seemed like he was very proud of himself for avoiding the maw of predation.
The doppelganger also took a long stride towards Igmun.
Cough. Coo.
A huge blood sword was created in Igmun’s hand.
It was one of Igmun’s seasons called the Sealing Sword.
Although it is not the main body, its power is incomparable.
[It will be enough to trample on you.]
He said it as if he was chewing it up and spitting it out.
Igmun threw down the blood sword.
Ugh.
The maw of predation blocked his path.
Phew!!
The blood sword pierced the mouth and pierced the center of the doppelganger’s body.
Tsuzzzzzzzz.
The magic power emitted from the blood sword enveloped the doppelganger’s body.
The predatory maw opened its mouth to chew and swallow the blood sword stuck in my body.
Each time, the blood sword resisted by absorbing magical power more fiercely.
Poseok.
The doppelganger’s body dried up.
It seemed as if Igmun’s power would break the predator.
Taehyun clenched his fists without realizing it.
However, it was a fleeting wish.
[It’s not enough.]
The moment I heard the Elven’s words in my head.
Ugh.
The area surrounded by predation.
A huge maw hidden beneath my feet appeared.
[…!!]
Kwaduk!!
The maw bit Igmun’s foot.
Tsuzzzz!!
Igmun radiated the power of absorption from his entire body.
Wow!! Wow!! Wow!!
The maw bit Igmun’s body endlessly.
A pitiful body that is unable to reproduce at high speeds and is deprived of magical power.
The power of absorption had completely disappeared from the clone’s body.
Jerk. Jerk. Jerk.
The doppelganger moved quietly.
I looked at Igmun, whose limbs were torn from beneath my feet.
[That guy… his original ghost…]
Don’t look at him with those eyes.
Igmun spoke with difficulty.
Smirk.
The moment the guy’s mouth twisted up.
Ugh!!
Kwasik!!
The mouths continued eating where they had stopped.
The guy who finished eating raised his head.
The guy’s eyes were looking around and were fixed on Taehyun.
Even though he ate the archduke’s double body.
The shiny red eyes still seemed hungry.
