Part 2 Episode 46
Taehyun opened his eyes feeling a headache.
The first thought that came to mind was:
‘It seems like I’m losing consciousness more often these days.’
It was a lament for myself.
Losing consciousness during battle means that your strength is lacking or mediocre.
I wouldn’t know if it was outside.
Samcheon World is Taehyun’s hometown and a place called his microcosm.
It was not pleasant for Taehyun, who had ascended to the Constellation, to repeatedly lose consciousness here.
‘So where is this again…’
Suddenly.
“….”
The limbs were chained.
‘Chains of restraint…?’
It is not a toy that players imitate, but an object whose workmanship is comparable to that of the heavenly world.
Taehyun saw a ghost sword with a similar appearance next to him.
Although I had recovered from most of the wounds I suffered with the Protestants, I was still unable to come to my senses.
‘Something happened.’
Tolkien’s suddenly strengthened ‘Pandora’s Box’.
Thanks to this, I lost my mind and was completely trapped in a situation where I had no idea where I was.
‘It’s probably not Jormungand or Igmun.’
The same goes for the demon tribe and the demon beast tribe that invaded their territory, but they are confident that they can resolve this through dialogue.
But what if it’s the sinister Jormungand or the enemy-filled Igmun?
No matter what Taehyun said, what was waiting would be an experiment or torture.
“….”
As I thought about that, I once again realized the urgency of the situation.
“Tolkien. “It’s an emergency.”
I called, even mentioning the name Tolkien, but no message was heard.
“The tower manager. Dwarf brothers. “Can’t you hear me?”
Normally, you would be shocked and react in some way.
Gradually. Gradually.
All that could be heard was the sound of chains made by Taehyun twisting his body.
Just when I was thinking that I had somehow been dragged into a strange place.
Slurp.
There was a sound like something sliding and a familiar face appeared in the field of vision.
“You…”
[See you again?]
Mule, the highest species of the Dream Demon tribe.
Before I knew it, Rosaria’s family members came right in front of me and greeted me.
“Ha…. It’s a blessing in disguise.”
Taehyun breathed a sigh of relief.
This is because if it is the territory of the dream demons, the risk of being in trouble is greatly reduced.
They are the type that enjoys mental attacks more than physical harm.
The danger level of the situation has gone down significantly.
[You said you would come visit me in person, but you don’t mean it? Even struggling to escape.]
Mul sarcastically.
“You’re doing too much. I think he owed me something. “If you treat a noble person like this, it will be useful.”
[What a loud tongue. I wouldn’t believe it if the queen’s power resided in that tongue.]
“Where am I?”
[I think the question is wrong. For now, I’ll tell you that it’s the 4th floor.]
‘It’s the dream demon territory on the 4th floor.’
It was only then that Taehyun, who had been resting for a while, took a close look at Mule’s appearance.
“you. “You’ve grown?”
[Kim Tae-hyun. Thanks to you. I received some grace from the queen.]
Grumble. Grumble.
She took out five tails.
There was pressure to suppress them if they did anything foolish.
It was a funny show of strength for Taehyun, who had gone all the way to Dokgojin a little while ago.
“That’s good. But again, if you treat your benefactor like this, it will be bitter.”
Taehyun demanded that the restraints be released.
The answer came from an unexpected place.
[You are a bold person, just like I heard.]
My body stiffened at the sound of a voice full of kindness.
Mule also lowered his head with a mischievous face typical of the Dream Demon tribe.
Slurp. Sreuk.
Taehyun made eye contact with the being that appeared before his eyes.
My heart is racing.
“Rosaria.”
[okay. That is the name of the original woman.]
The succubus queen facing him had red eyes shining.
The end of the tribal war.
Her fading face passed by like a ray of light.
“at las.”
I remembered the moment I was looking forward to meeting her when I returned.
“We met again.”
The corners of Taehyun’s mouth rose.
* * *
[Hmm~ You’re talking as if you know the real woman.]
Rosaria said without avoiding Taehyeon’s eyes.
This was what she did when she thought about other people’s reactions.
“Don’t you already know?”
The corner of Rosaria’s mouth twitched.
The boldness of not avoiding eye contact even when facing the Archduke.
[Did you say Kim Tae-hyun? You stimulate her curiosity.]
[Queen. If you command, I will personally interrogate you.]
[It is done. Even though I look like this, I’m not a guest.]
Rosaria’s red eyes narrowed.
[It looked like he had something to say to his wife. Now that I look at it, they focus on checking their skills… I guess they’re hiding something?]
‘That’s strange.’
Mental control can be most effective when the opponent is unconscious.
If it was the Rosaria that Taehyun knew, it would be enough to scan his memory without a trace.
But to get such a lukewarm response.
‘Couldn’t you read the memory? Or… are you just pretending not to read it?’
Either way, she’s demanding answers from Taehyun.
It’s as if he wants to listen and judge for himself.
My body is not free.
For now, it was my duty to follow her words.
“first. “Just to clarify, I am not Igmun’s contractor.”
[Also, he is not the main woman’s contractor. But you used ‘absorption’ and ‘mental control’ in a plausible way.]
‘I watched the battle.’
For her, her personal space would be more than destroyed.
[What was that power?]
Grumble.
One of Rosaria’s tentacles caressed Taehyun’s face.
“You couldn’t read my memory?”
[This is what I want to hear from your lips.]
Rosaria emphasized with a benevolent smile.
The truth was different.
I tried to read the memory as Taehyun said, but something stopped me.
There wasn’t much that could be saved from Nakata Shinji, who was able to read memories.
Rather, I just found out that he also had strong doubts about Kim Tae-hyun’s existence.
“….”
Taehyun quickly grasped the situation.
‘Rosaria is not the enemy.’
Like a doppelganger, an ally who can be said to be one’s greatest strength.
That didn’t seem to be any different even now that the timeline was twisted.
“Then it will be quicker for you to enter my world of images.”
[A person who recommends the world of imagination to the main woman. I can’t figure out the intention at all.]
“But you don’t prefer dirty methods like torture.”
Rosaria burst out laughing at Taehyun’s words.
“Succubus Queen. “Let me ask you one question.”
[Kim Tae-hyun. You are only allowed to answer the Queen’s questions…]
Mul, who had been raising his voice, silenced himself at Rosaria’s hand gesture.
[Try it.]
“Since when did the archdukes become imprisoned in the tower?”
[Being trapped in a tower… That’s an interesting question.]
Taehyun continued as he watched her reaction.
“What is your relationship with the tower manager? “What is your relationship with Igmun?”
[It’s a series of incomprehensible questions. Do you really want to hear an answer from the real woman? Or are you just guessing the reaction?]
She figured out the reason for her sudden action.
It was truly her insight.
‘I see…’
As Taehyun continued, Rosaria showed no particular reaction.
It seemed as if there was nothing strange about the current tower system.
‘The laws of existence are at work.’
In other words, the current Rosaria was not powerful enough to handle what Taehyun knew.
“I’m sorry Rosaria. “Maybe I can’t say that out loud.”
[I can’t believe you’re acting like that now. I’m disappointed.]
“This side is not free from the ‘tower’s gaze’ either.”
but.
“You have a way, right?”
Slurp.
Taehyun’s eyes turned red.
The chain is absorbing magical power, but it is forcibly manifested.
I felt like reflux would occur just because of that, but I didn’t care.
I could see the familiar magical power remaining in her body.
Dark blue.
[That’s Gorfer… no, it’s Gilfer’s.]
The corners of Rosaria’s mouth went up at Taehyun’s words.
[Mule. Be alert to your surroundings.]
[But queen…]
[Don’t make me say it twice.]
[I understand…]
Mul used five tentacles to spread purple magic throughout the area.
[Wouldn’t it be ruined if my wife entered your mind?]
“Don’t worry.”
Taehyun’s mental image is not that weak.
Additionally, unlike in the past, the awakening level is now SS.
Even if Rosaria penetrated the world of images, there was no need to worry about it collapsing.
[Why are you smiling?]
“Because I remembered an old memory for a moment.”
[Hmm~.]
Rosaria, who was snoring for a moment, suddenly.
Phew.
A tentacle was inserted into Taehyun’s abdomen.
Huge power.
Purple magical energy began to circulate throughout my body.
[If it’s a disappointing story, she will handle it in her own way.]
“Cough… okay… it won’t be disappointing.”
at the same time.
Tiring.
[Skill ‘Mental Control (???)’ has been activated.]
Taehyun recalls a skill he is familiar with.
I closed my eyes once again.
* * *
Red sky and desert.
Rosaria and Taehyun were standing face to face in a place that symbolized the world of images.
The chains of bondage no longer existed.
[It is truly a desolate place.]
“Yes. “For some reason, I feel like I can tell you the truth here.”
This is the moment when Taehyun says that.
Ugh.
A huge magical force unfolded beneath my feet.
It was a precursor phenomenon that appeared the moment the doppelganger used Predation.
[Kim Tae-hyun.]
A doppelganger appeared not far away.
“Dopple. “I’m glad you seem to be safe.”
He said he had a hard time dealing with the Blood Demon Church guys.
That’s what I’m trying to say.
Kwaduk!!
The mouth that was opening the teeth closed.
If it weren’t for Rosaria’s tentacles, it would have been devoured.
[Huh. What kind of situation is this again? [Why is someone here who should be in someone else’s body?]
She knew about the existence of a doppelganger in Shinji Nakata’s body.
But now that I’m in the world of images, it’s not enough to just appear, it’s a sudden attack?
It was an attack that, if she had not offset it, Kim Tae-hyun would have been completely damaged.
“Dopple. Dokgo Jin I solved that problem, so calm down. Now, first of all, to Rosaria….”
[Bullshit.]
OMG.
Another maw popped out next to Taehyun and Rosaria.
Wow.
Rosaria’s tentacles were one step ahead and destroyed the maw.
[You bitch, don’t interfere. [On the topic of uninvited guests.]
[I heard about it from Mule. You’re a rude guy.]
Rosaria’s lips twisted.
This was the look he showed to the princes who ignored him.
[It’s because I’m weak.]
Exactly.
When the doppelganger snapped his fingers, mouths popped out from all over the place.
A level that cannot be compared to when using the ghost sword’s body.
As Taehyun regained his strength, the doppelganger’s seal was also loosened.
Rosaria took out her tentacle.
“No, wait. We are not enemies…”
[Shut up.]
[Stay out.]
Kwajik.
The maw and tentacles of the predator clashed.
[If you keep such a lukewarm mind in the future battle, this body will end up like trash again.]
The doppelganger shouted as if chewing it up and spitting it out.
“I understand, so calm down. Rosaria is not the enemy.”
[Pathetic guy. Whose will it be?]
Exactly.
When he snapped his fingers, the maws once again targeted Rosaria and Taehyun.
It is so powerful that it is difficult to counteract it unless it is even a dream come true.
‘Do you really want me to reveal something that was just a dream?’
If that happens, one out of three will get hurt.
There is no way a proper conversation can take place when the balance is broken.
[Look!! Even after being treated like that, you still keep your head up!!]
Oh my gosh.
This is the moment when the maw surrounding Taehyun is about to sink its teeth into it.
Puff poop poop.
A bundle of tentacles pierced the predator.
[A bug. Didn’t you hear me not to interfere?]
[It’s unpleasant. Igmun’s tongue isn’t as rough as yours.]
[What a weak guy. He doesn’t even know the topic…]
[Who was he talking to?]
The magic power of the two beings collided without Taehyun being able to intervene.
Michael and Gabriel.
Their comrades who fought against two gigantic enemies and perished.
“….”
Taehyun quietly watched as the gigantic being crashed down and hit with magical energy.
“This zodiac sign is all because of you.”
