Episode 410:
How much time has passed?
‘I can’t feel it.’
Taehyun had that thought in his head.
Just thinking about it made me feel like my body had changed.
Is it just a feeling now?
Time would tell.
In fact, all of this is not just a feeling, but leads to real change.
Countless memories were erased and re-engraved, and enormous magic power repeatedly entered and exited the body.
Now the sensation of my body was faint.
I don’t know, but a considerable amount of time must have passed.
I just vaguely thought that way.
‘I’m going crazy.’
[It would be difficult to go that crazy.]
Taehyun opened his eyes at the unexpected voice.
‘you…!!’
A space where there was nothing.
Elven existed in a space where nothing was visible.
[okay. What was the magic power of the Shinsu?]
The Elven asked as if joking.
‘That’s what you mean…’
[Huh~ You’re showing a shameless attitude even after stealing something that belongs to you.]
‘What?’
[Thanks to you being chosen by the Shinsu, Bonyo became a mere fairy king.]
The fate of the fairies is said to be with the Shinsu.
so.
[It means that now you have to grow up before Bonyo can regain his original strength.]
‘….’
He poured out the burdensome words without any hesitation.
Taehyun made an excuse, not an excuse, saying it wasn’t his fault.
‘How long do I have to stay like this?’
[Of course, it is not until the magic power of the divine beast is accepted.]
The red eyes of the Elven who said that were curved like a crescent moon.
‘You’re trying to deceive me.’
[Hmm?]
‘I am already aware that time has been distorted.’
That was a guess.
Taehyun’s guess based on Noname’s words.
[Hoo.]
He reacted as if he didn’t know that the Elven would know that much.
Fortunately, the guy didn’t seem to be aware of the existence of the no-name that Taehyun came up with.
You can read thoughts and yet not perceive God.
It was a truly ironic situation.
‘If you think of me as a true contractor, why can’t you think that it would be better not to deceive each other?’
If you are going to tell a lie, you must be prepared to pay a reasonable price for it.
Taehyun warned quietly.
[….]
‘How much time has passed outside?’
[It didn’t take long.]
This time, the Elven’s red eyes were curved like a crescent moon.
Rosaria’s acting seemed better.
‘I’m not asking based on your standards. It couldn’t have been more than a day or a week.’
Of course, what Taehyun felt was only for that long.
If that were the case, Noname would not have mentioned the long period of time.
The Elven, who read my thoughts without even knowing what was happening, gave me an expression that seemed to displease me.
[If you’re talking about the time of the summer, would it have been a month by your standards?]
That was within my expectations.
Next, when asked about the time on Earth.
[3 years.]
‘…!!’
I couldn’t help but be shocked.
It’s as if he knows what Taehyun is thinking.
The Elven waved his hand once.
Colorless magic created an illusion.
The first thing that came to mind was the battle between monsters taking place in the underworld.
The highest species, the highest species, were swarming and coming out of the gate.
It seemed as if there were some restrictions on the gate, and some of the top species were unable to completely escape.
At the head of the escaped monsters was a familiar face.
Mephisto, an ancient great evil like Gilfer.
The guy who has reached the entrance to the Grand Duke is leading his army to attack area 15.
Rosaria Gilper Typhon was using her power against the demonic forces.
There were seven dragon elders being dragged by Taehyun, and some of the upper and highest species of the giant dream demon tribe led by Erebos.
It was a fierce battle to protect the Shinsu that had bloomed in District 15 and Taehyeon, who had been assimilated into the Shinsu.
[If you don’t wake up quickly, they will be in danger. Right now, it’s just that arrogant arch-demon, but if Beelzebub comes, he’ll be pushed aside in an instant.]
It’s not wrong.
It’s not bad power, though.
If it’s Beelzebub, which didn’t focus on extinguishing the Elven and stormed all three vital points, it’s likely.
You will be able to easily deal with the fallen Giant King, an archdemon who cannot use the power of the Queen of Dream Demons that is outside of her domain.
The moment Beelzebub, who had a considerable army among the archdukes, put all his effort into this place, they would not be able to hold out any longer.
‘I have to leave right now.’
[There is no need to overdo it. There is a limit to the power your body can accept anyway. It is better to store as much power as possible. You probably know that, right? I know
that my mind and body have changed significantly.]
Taehyeon, who was merely the next Great Provision, acquired the power appropriate for the Great Provision by assimilating to the magical power of the Shinsu.
If I can achieve complete assimilation with Shinsu like this, I will definitely do it if I spend enough time here.
‘It wouldn’t be too much of a stretch to surpass the Archduke.’
[okay. You, too, will reach the level that Bonyo reached.]
The Elven in its prime was said to have a power that could not be defeated even by two Archdukes.
That power was possible because he was a fairy king who was chosen by the divine beast.
She honestly told us the secret of her strength.
[It’s also surprising. I can’t believe that such a divine beast chooses you over Bonyo this time. I thought there must be a reason why the Queen of Dreams fell in love with a man named King Hagye. [It seems to be even greater than I thought.]
The expression on the Elven’s face as he said that looked relaxed.
Although he lost the enormous magical power that he could use through divine water, he no longer had to take responsibility for it.
[There is nothing to look at with those eyes. Even if it is not the power of a divine beast, Bonyo is not inferior to the Archduke. The power of anti-magical power is also not going anywhere.] They say
that not everyone can become the king of a species.
She giggled to herself.
[In any case, it would be convenient to absorb the power of the divine beast when you can. It’s not an opportunity that comes around anytime soon.]
‘This is enough.’
[I guess you didn’t understand Bonyo’s words properly. It may be enough to be called the Grand Duke right now, but it is not enough to completely avoid the restrictions that you call the ‘Law of the Abyss.’] The
King of Hagye said that he would have wanted Taehyeon to fully accept the power of the Divine Beast.
He emphasized that at this level, it would be impossible to deal with a large number of archdukes not only in a tribal war but also in a turf war.
[Why are you so impatient?]
‘It’s the power I’m trying to gain to protect.’
[….]
‘What’s the point if too much time passes and everything disappears?’
The situation in District 15 was the same right now, but I was concerned that three years had passed on Earth.
[It doesn’t look bad. But those in the upper world won’t consider that.]
‘Just keep it in mind. so.’
How can I take this huge magical power with me from Shinsoo?
Taehyun asked about that.
I took a moment to sigh at that firm attitude.
The Elven spoke obediently, as if raising both hands.
[If it had been someone else, it would have been impossible. It is not a difficult task for you, the contractor of Bonyo. Summon Bonyo here.]
‘…?’
[This is the body that was once chosen by the divine beast.]
He said he could take on Taehyun’s role for a little while.
While Shinsu was hesitating, he said that he could just get out of here.
‘Easier said than done.’
I remembered the status window I last checked.
The magic power needed to summon an Elven was 10000.
Considering that the magic power needed to summon Rosaria and Igmun was 250, this is a ridiculous number.
The Elven snapped his fingers as if wondering what he was thinking.
[Have you forgotten where this is?]
She stretched out her arms.
A huge magical power swirled around.
[This is neither the ‘outside’ nor the ‘imaginary world.’]
What is important is ‘will’ and ‘existence,’ not magical power.
[Don’t get caught up in things called skills.]
She emphasized that you should leave your body to the flow of magical power.
‘Will and presence.’
[The greater the will, the greater the power of existence.]
It was an incomprehensible sound, but one thing was clear.
‘Immense magical power must be concentrated.’
Got into action right away.
There is so much magical power around.
I was able to make Yeouiju without difficulty.
Coo. Coo. Cough.
The huge Yeouiju seemed to be compressed little by little and transformed into a colorless dragon heart.
Next, I imitated the skill ‘Heart of the Great Demon’ and created a Demon Stone.
I created a vampire’s magic stone by imitating the skill ‘True Blood’.
I closed my eyes to concentrate a little more.
Keying-.
Kiiii-.
Kiiiii-.
The three types of magic stones rotated violently.
An incomparable amount of magical power was concentrated compared to when it was used as a skill.
Without stopping, he accelerated further and further.
‘10,000 horsepower.’
All attention was focused on concentrating that enormous magical energy in one place.
How much time has passed like that?
A foreign energy that I felt from the moment I thought of accepting the power of the Divine Beast.
I had the illusion that the twist of time had stopped.
[It’s not an illusion. You did a great job.]
Open your eyes.
There was an Elven who had transformed into a mature woman.
[Bonyo will buy time. Get out of that gap.]
Taehyun asked how.
[If it’s a method, don’t you already know it?]
‘What?’
[All you have to do is follow the magic power that feels familiar to you.]
‘What do you mean by magic power that feels familiar to you…’
Before you even say that.
Quaaaaa.
Several gates were created around Taehyun.
The number of gates that were only a few quickly increased to dozens or hundreds.
‘indeed.’
As I faced the gate, I felt like I knew.
What does it mean to follow familiar magical power?
[The choice must be made carefully. If you go through the wrong gate, you can easily end up lost in another dimension.]
I thought I should tell you about that right away.
Taehyun chose one of hundreds of gates.
Consciousness was cut off with the impact of my body being thrown away.
* * *
“Why all of a sudden!!”
Lim Ah-young cursed at the sudden situation.
Compared to his usual noble appearance, his appearance was clearly unfamiliar.
Nevertheless, those who were forming the party together could not even show a reaction of surprise.
They were swept away without a trace by the invading demonic sea.
If Ayoung, who had unlocked her magic power in advance, had not used her skills with all her might, the entire raid team that entered the middle layer of the dungeon would have been wiped out.
Damn. Damn it.
The ‘Ice Age’ she was unfolding was cracking.
Tiring.
[Skill Ice Age (SS) has been strengthened. Magic consumption is accelerated.]
[Skill Ice Heart (SS) has been strengthened. Magic consumption accelerates.]
I tried strengthening two skills, but it seemed like I wouldn’t be able to last long.
“Everyone get out!!”
At her shout, the surviving players and porters hurriedly ran in the direction they had come from.
A life-threatening situation.
The sight of him calling himself a named player and boasting about his license was nowhere to be seen.
Grumbling.
Blood flowed from my nose.
It was a symptom accompanying magical power reflux.
There was no time to drink the potion.
If you relax just a little bit, the ice will shatter into pieces and the devil will eat every single person.
‘shit.’
She cursed again.
if.
I was wondering what it would have been like if 10 people from the national power level who had never formed an attack force for political reasons were here.
‘no.’
She shook her head.
A man who disappeared three years ago.
Even as a student.
Even as a player.
Kim Tae-hyun, who was his classmate and was called the best force in New Korea.
If he was there, it would be in a dungeon like this.
Wouldn’t it have been a minor attack?
I thought I had reached the end of the SS grade, but I thought I was just around the corner from the SSS grade.
In the end, I was going to die without being able to catch up with him.
Damn. So so so so so.
A liquid that was neither blue nor red flowed out from between the broken ice.
It was a magical sea that was only found deep in the Abyss.
Once a crack appeared, the ice wall she had created began to melt quickly.
And suddenly.
Kwasik.
A huge tentacle came out and wrapped around her body.
“Big…”
A moan escaped from the tightness that felt as if the bones of my entire body were being crushed.
Eventually, the owner of the tentacles appeared behind the completely melted ice wall.
Kraken, an SS-class monster that was once considered unattackable by humans.
A monster with power incomparable to that guy.
“Hi…Kraken….”
Ayoung spoke to the owner of the dungeon.
