Episode 420:
Tiring.
[Skill Watcher’s Eye (???) has been activated. Specifies the target.]
Taehyeon’s eyes were colored red and blue.
At the same time, the flow of magical power in her body was clearly visible.
Purple magic seeped into every part of the body damaged by Diablo’s magic.
Right now, the green magic power cannot exert its full power, but once the magic power in the body calms down, the two types of magic power will naturally blend together.
‘This should be enough.’
Starting now was important.
Taehyun scanned her magic power as if checking for vaccine rejection and used the next skill.
Tiring.
[Skill Energy Compose (???) has been strengthened. Specifies the shape.]
Quaaaaaa.
The dark red magic that bloomed in Taehyun’s body was absorbed into her body.
“Kah… Ugh….”
Quad-dud.
I could see magical power condensed next to her heart taking shape.
Another heart possessed by those who have reached a level beyond the completed human body.
A magic stone that imitates the heart of a monster.
Taehyun created it artificially.
Even inside someone else’s body.
“Uh…ah….”
Ayoung twisted her body in pain.
Sigh. Sigh.
The chains of her restraints tightened as she twisted her body.
It was absorbing a certain amount of magical power to prevent it from running away.
The absorbed magical power was sucked into the vampire magic stone created by Taehyeon.
About an hour had passed like that.
A satisfactory level of magic gemstone was created that could be considered an SSS grade monster.
‘Whether or not this can be maintained is at the discretion of Guild Leader Yoo Ah-young.’
It is a magic gem that is far inferior to that of the highest level species that was forcibly created without being registered as a skill.
Surely, if he had exerted too much power like before, the magic gemstone that could not bear it might have exploded inside.
On the other hand, if she succeeds in keeping this magic stone intact and making it her own.
‘It would greatly reduce the burden of using Rosaria’s power.’
Taehyun took out the hand he had been putting in.
dump.
Ayoung knelt down and touched the floor.
Ultra-fast regeneration occurred, and no traces of piercings were left anywhere on Ayoung’s body.
“Huh… gasp….”
She let out a deep breath.
Only a trace of blood stuck to the corner of his mouth showed that Taehyun had been stabbed in the abdomen just moments ago.
“This… what the hell…”
Ayoung’s expression hardened at the magic gemstone she felt in her chest.
She also realized what Taehyun had done.
“This is a power that I would have naturally acquired if I had originally become an official anti-aircraft contractor.”
I explained it.
The Archduke’s magical power is not at a level that can be received by a human’s physical or mental power.
Beyond the completed human body.
If you do not obtain the power of the realm of the highest species, one day either your mind or your body will collapse.
“….”
She also seemed to immediately understand the effects of the newly created magic stone.
The magic power that could be used right away was weak, but it was different from when he had only one heart.
Green magic was flowing from the original heart, and purple magic was flowing from the magic stone created by Taehyun.
Perhaps if the two magic powers are completely mixed.
“Phew…. It will never be compared to before.”
As if reading her thoughts, Taehyun said this while wiping the sweat from her forehead.
“Why… to me…?”
It was a task that could have torn Yoo Ah-young’s body to pieces if he had failed to control his magic power.
Because I was so focused, half of my 800 magical power was worn away.
You wouldn’t know if it was yours.
She knows that Taehyun would never risk risking someone else’s life.
That is why I am asking.
Why do you make choices that go against your usual beliefs?
“Because I can’t stay in New Korea forever.”
“Are we going back to the Abyss?”
Taehyun nodded.
The sooner you return to the Abyss, the better.
If it was delayed, it wouldn’t be helpful to this world in the end.
“Don’t worry. “I plan to take care of Diablo and then leave.”
“That’s not what I meant!”
She seemed unusually emotional.
It is thought that Taehyun, who returns after three years, will immediately disappear again.
He said that three years had passed in a short period of time.
If that’s the case, then it may be several years later.
‘To make you wait again! I’m trying to get ahead alone again!!’
He said that he would go to the Abyss with him because of this.
In fact, when it comes to exploration, two people are better than one.
She asserted her own arbitrary logic and insisted on accompanying him.
The way Yoo Ah-young behaved like a child despite her age was exactly the same as the Yoo Ah-young I used to know.
“You’re in trouble.”
“No matter how I look at it, it is the national power…”
It is said to be the strongest among the national power levels.
She was about to say that, but Taehyun cut her off and unleashed his magic power.
“I can assure you that if we enter the deepest level, Guild Leader Yoo Ah-young will not be able to last even a day.”
“….”
It’s weak.
So, grow up as soon as possible and reach an equal position.
Taehyun provoked her with obvious words.
“No, it would be difficult to think of the growth rates of a ‘monster’ like you and an ‘extraordinary genius’ like me at the same rate…” “
There’s nothing to worry about.”
Quaaaaa.
Purple magical energy bloomed from Taehyun’s body.
“…!!”
“There is nothing more important to a player than actual competition.”
Her body trembled as she remembered the pain from just moments ago.
She said gibberish that she was still a patient and was not in a state where she could properly use magical powers.
It was an unimaginable change in attitude compared to when he was anxious to confront Taehyun.
That’s why the magic stone creation process a little while ago was painful.
However.
“You don’t have to worry about that either.”
Taehyun dismissed her concerns.
Tiring.
[Skill Ataraxia(???) has been activated. [Specify the target.]
Unlike the blue eyes, which were deeply sunken, purple magic overflowed from the red eyes.
“Ah…”
Ayoung moaned without realizing it.
“Wouldn’t it be better to sell voluntarily?”
This is Taehyun saying that.
He didn’t look any different from Diablo, who called himself the Lord of Terror.
* * *
The headquarters of the New Korea Players Association, about a quarter of which was lost in the battle with the Great Devil.
A significant portion of the barrier wall and barrier mobile gate were destroyed, and repairs were still in full swing three days later.
In the first restored office of the president of the association, people who could be said to be the best forces of the new Korea gathered together.
In the SS grade, there were Ji Jin-hee, Kwon Kang-hyuk, Kwak Si-yang, Lim Ah-young, Ahn Hyun-soo, and Seo Sang-ik, and in the SSS grade, there were Park Seong-jin and Yoo Ah-young.
And now, a player that cannot be measured by grade.
Taehyun, who can be said to be the best force in New Korea, was receiving everyone’s attention.
“I don’t know how long it’s been since we’ve had an in-person meeting.”
Ji Jin-hee said this with an emotional expression on her face.
“As you get older, you become more cautious.”
Kwon Kang-hyuk grumbled, but unlike usual, no one said anything to him.
This is because I know that despite what he says, he is deep inside.
Above all, Taehyun, who is considered the strongest in the entire history of New Korea, has returned.
Today, no matter what happened, I was able to laugh it off.
“Hehehe. “Then, shall we start by hearing why my younger brother went diving for three years?”
When Kwon Kang-hyuk asked slyly, Tae-hyun stood up and bowed his head politely.
This is because I know that although it was not intentional, it ultimately made me worry.
“sorry.”
Taehyun started with an apology and then spoke of an alibi he had thought of in advance.
They said they couldn’t contact you because it took a long time because they stepped into a strange place at the deepest level.
The companions looked like they believed what Taehyun said.
“As expected, the Abyss is a place with endless possibilities. “A place worthy of confining player Kim Tae-hyun.”
Seo Sang-ik spoke with a curious expression characteristic of a researcher.
Not long ago, the Alchemist Guild headquarters was dungeonized and many guild members died and the facility was destroyed, but he quickly came to his senses and focused on recovery.
“Then there’s a good chance that Cody Cruz is still alive.”
The person who said that was Park Seong-jin.
The only player in this battle to reach SSS level.
If his power is stabilized, he will also attain the title of national power level.
Taehyun told me that would happen.
“This will reorganize the balance of the world.”
Those gathered in the conference room nodded at Kwak Si-yang’s words.
Taehyun Kim and Cody Cruz.
It was not difficult to predict that if the two players, who deserved the title of national power more than anyone else, returned, the landscape of the world led by the four major organizations would change.
At the center will be a new Korea and the United States.
“What do you plan to do?”
It was Lim Ah-young who asked that question.
She is the boss of a dungeon that Taehyun has not conquered.
He is the person who witnessed that High Kraken Xelga was not dealt with.
Therefore, he recognized earlier than anyone else that Taehyun’s way of thinking was different from that of the average player.
“I heard that China just declared war?”
Taehyun mentioned the possibility that Ryuusbo was assimilated with Diablo’s horn.
The faces of the companions all hardened.
“I heard that crazy guy is being really mean. “There was a reason to believe it!!”
Kwon Kang-hyuk growled and shouted.
No matter what country it is, the place where the country’s greatest power gathers is the association headquarters.
Because of this, China lost a number of top-level players in an explosion known as the gate break.
However, I did not understand why Liu Shibo, who happened to survive, was talking about war.
Taehyun did not reveal that the explosion that occurred at the headquarters of the Chinese Players Association was caused by the Yeouiju he had thrown.
‘Not everyone needs to know the truth.’
Only Yoo Ah-young, who vaguely guessed Tae-hyeon’s actions and thoughts, was making a strange expression.
“So Taehyun, what do you think they want?”
“You must have heard the report from Guild Leader Yoo Ah-young.”
Association President Ryusbo mentioned information about cannibalism.
“That’s… true?”
Kwak Si-yang asked back in a trembling voice.
“well. “I haven’t seen it in person, so I can’t be sure.”
“Oh, does that mean you don’t trust my information?”
Taehyun laughed at Yoo Ah-young’s joke.
“It’s not like that.”
Diablo’s power is fear.
Association President Ryusbo and Diablo’s Horn could not have completely assimilated.
So, if there are casualties in war, it will be to feed off those emotions and become stronger.
“It sounds crazy, but my brother said that, so it must be true.”
Kwon Kang-hyuk gave strong support.
“Then would it be right to ask President Koh Tae-wook for cooperation?”
Taehyun shook his head.
As with all things, the traditional method takes a long time.
“Evil must be punished with evil.”
“….”
“….”
“….”
There is no one here who does not know Taehyun’s personality.
We repay what we have suffered many times over, and in the process, we eventually achieve things that were thought to be impossible.
“For the record, I’m still missing. There is no need to move on a national basis.”
“Are you saying you’re going to handle it… on your own?”
Taehyun nodded.
“I am enough alone.”
Everyone looked dumbfounded at the answer that seemed to have been the intention from the beginning.
Only.
“Shit… Now I finally realize that my little brother is back!!”
Kwon Kang-hyuk chuckled.
“Ah, boy… have you decided to walk the path of Sura…”
A single tear flowed from Ahn Hyun-soo’s reddened eyes.
