Regressing with the King’s Power Chapter 96

Episode 96

A message window appeared in front of Taehyun.

It wasn’t just one, it was several.

[Skill use has been detected. I took a great step (A). It resists with mysterious power. Resistance was successful.]

[Skill use detected. Trapped in Hunter’s Eye (B). It resists with mysterious power. Resistance was successful.]

[Skill use detected. You are under mind control (A). It resists with mysterious power. Resistance was successful.]

In addition, five or six more messages came to mind.

‘this. Are they already keeping it in check?’

It was a situation I had only heard about in my previous life.

Taehyun burst out laughing.

Abyss is an unknown world.

As there were many places that had not been explored yet, it was even called Abyss Dream.

In particular, the deep area where high risk, high return was applied was also an opportunity for some talented awakeners to make a fortune.

The emergence of a new powerhouse implies new competition.

It was common for players or Mines who used the deep area as their base of activity to use tracking skills on defenseless new faces.

Just like what you did to Taehyun.

‘I guess it’s because it’s a friendly match period. There are too many to keep in check.’

Among the skills that appeared in the message window, there was an S grade, but it was not enough to pierce the power of predation.

Taehyun thought nothing of it and left the safety zone.

A desert-like landscape unfolded, and large monsters were seen wandering around.

‘The first priority is to contact the monster team.’

Taehyun recalled what Ayoung said before he came to the Abyss.

The last contact with the monster team was ten hours ago.

It was said that the monster team would be hunting near a huge tower in the depths.

‘It’s a tower. Surely it’s not Yongin’s Tower?’

Taehyun strengthened his legs as he remembered one of the dozens of towers in his memory.

* * *

Sigh.

“Keeeeek.”

Taehyun’s light swing of the sword broke Shuffle Worm’s body in two.

Even though no special skills were used, the A-class monster died in vain.

‘Good.’

It was the first time I had wielded a sword against a monster in a long time.

Taehyun expressed satisfaction with the texture that exceeded expectations.

Lately, I’ve been dealing with only demons, so I’ve forgotten about it.

Players are inherently hunters of monsters.

Is that why?

It seemed as if Reddick, whose physical abilities and unique items had increased significantly during the friendly match, was screaming with happiness.

Phew.

Taehyun cut open the shuffle worm’s body and took out the magic stone from it.

It was covered in sticky liquid, but I didn’t care and put it in my backpack.

This is because in the case of monsters, points are converted into magic stones.

I had just borrowed an infinite backpack from Ayoung in preparation for times like this.

‘Later, when I drink the potion, I’ll have to drink it with my mouth open.’

With that in mind, I ran for about two hours.

A huge tower began to appear in front of Taehyeon, who had defeated nearly a hundred monsters.

‘Was it really Yongin’s Tower?…’

Just as there are numerous architectural styles on Earth, there were numerous towers in the Abyss.

It is not easy to distinguish them all one by one.

However, the Yongin Tower was unique in its appearance.

This was because the height was so high that the end was unknown.

The tower rising through the red sky was infamous even in Taehyun’s past life.

It is said to be a place where dragons that feed on the player’s blood live.

‘It would be impossible to attack at the level of current players.’

Taehyun’s expression darkened slightly as he recalled memories of his past life.

As the name suggests, the type of monster that inhabits the tower is the dragon type.

The problem is that S-class monsters appear from the first floor of the tower.

Moreover, it was different from the usual way of clearing one floor at a time.

Yongin’s Tower has a structure where when a monster in the lower layer dies, the monsters living in the upper layer gradually descend to the lower layer.

An endless rush of monsters coming down from the upper levels with no end in sight.

Therefore, even in my past life, I had never heard of someone climbing more than 10 floors of a tower.

In order to escape, you must activate a special device located at least on the 5th floor.

‘It’s a place where at least ten S-rank advanced players must form a party to go up to the 5th floor. With the power of the new Korea, if you make a mistake, you will be annihilated.’

In other words, it is impossible to attack at this point.

No matter how important it was to get points, I didn’t think Park Seong-jin and his group would be unaware of the danger.

This is because if you become an S-class advanced player, your sense of sensing a crisis is that much better.

Unlike dealing with demons, party play with monsters is better than individual play.

Especially if the party members are S-rank players, the synergy effect goes without saying.

‘Were there any useful dungeons around here?’

Around the time Taehyun was searching through his memories.

A man came running from the other side.

‘That person…’

Although I had only met him in person a few times, he was a familiar face in many ways.

“Kim Tae-hyun player!! “You have come to the Abyss!!”

Seo Han-gil, a member of the monster team, stopped in front of Tae-hyeon.

It seemed like he was genuinely happy to see me.

“yes. Mine is now at an end. “I guess you didn’t hear from me as expected.”

Currently, New Korea is in a time where even one player is important as it involves eradicating the remnants of the Triads.

The impact extended to friendly matches as well, and communication between Earth and the Abyss seemed disorganized.

Of course, Taehyun himself was the one who pulled the trigger on all of these incidents, so he had no intention of complaining or feeling proud.

I just quietly do my best in my duties as a national representative.

“Where are players Seongjin Park and Siyang Kwak?”

“Oh, they just need to go a little further from here.”

“I thought you would act together, but I’m surprised.”

“haha. How easy is it to work hand in hand with experts in friendly competition? “I am moving separately.”

“Is that so.”

Taehyun said casually and looked around.

We came to a place not far from Yongin Tower.

However, strangely, there is not a single monster in sight.

It was as if someone had swept it away in advance.

Seo Han-gil opened his mouth again.

“I also heard about Jang Jin-su. It’s a shame… I never thought something like that would happen in our new Korea.”

Jang Jin-su’s disappearance was considered a confirmed death within the new Korea.

“yes. “He was truly a great man.”

Taehyun, remembering his end, sighed as if he was truly sad.

After a brief period of mourning.

Seo Han-gil showed his natural good-natured expression.

He pointed toward Yongin Tower.

“Now follow me. “From now on, I will guide you to where the two people are.”

Shoo shoo shoo. Shush.

Two men began running quickly across the desert-like land.

* * *

The two people stopped right near the entrance to ‘Yongin’s Tower’.

“You have taken up your position in a dangerous place.”

Taehyun looked around and said.

What looked like a simple tent, a bed, and a bonfire caught my eye.

Things commonly seen in temporary safety zones.

These were the things Taehyeon, who worked as a porter, had to carry around with him.

“ha ha ha. I had that same reaction at first too. Still, even if a fire was lit around this tower, monsters did not gather. Guild leader. No, it was thanks to the insight of player Kwak Si-yang.”

It’s not wrong.

A powerful energy emanating from the tower of Yongin.

That energy was blocking the approach of most monsters.

“But I can’t see them.”

I looked around, which, unlike other places, was a particularly empty plain.

There was no one in sight except the tower and the wide open ground.

“It looks like he went out exploring for a while.”

The way he spoke as if he was used to it.

“Player Seo Han-gil.”

“hmm? “Why but?”

Taehyun looked at him intently for a moment.

“Is there something on my face?”

“Of course you won’t just say it, right?”

“What do you mean…?”

Tiring.

[Skill Binding Chain (A) has been activated. Specifies the target.]

Sigh. Sigh.

Chains created by dark red magical power tightly surrounded Seo Han-gil’s body.

“Why is he acting like this all of a sudden?!!”

Seo Han-gil, embarrassed, shouted and tried to remove the chain.

But the more I did it, the tighter the chain became.

“I ask again. Seongjin Park and Siyang Kwak. Where are you?”

“What on earth are you talking about!!”

“I know. “You joined hands with Japan.”

“…!!”

“This area near Yongin’s Tower is where monsters of at least S rank appear. “It’s not a place for you, a mid- to low-level S-class person, to wander around alone.”

Seo Han-gil’s face darkened at the unexpected words.

“I ask this as a former representative. “What did you do to those two people?”

“Ha… Haha… He’s a quick-witted friend.”

Taehyun didn’t answer but clenched his fists.

Crack. Wow.

Seo Han-gil’s shoulder was dislocated due to the pressure of the stronger chains.

“Tsk…”

“Say it. Depending on what you hear, your life….”

At that time.

Shhh.

Taehyun instinctively took out Reddick from his waist and swung it.

Kyaang.

A cross-shaped dagger fell to the ground with a heavy impact.

It was a dagger as bright as blood.

‘Blood test?’

The dagger that Taehyun struck melted away.

“Hoo. “Did you block my sword?”

Far away.

A man appeared behind Yongin’s tower.

It was a face Taehyun was familiar with.

China’s last national power player to participate in a friendly match.

A man who is evaluated as the de facto leader of the Chinese national team.

Blood Sword Zhang Linfeng.

Taehyun frowned at the unexpected appearance of this person.

According to the information Tae-hyeon understood, Seo Han-gil joined hands with Japan.

“Zhang Linfeng? “What is this doing?”

Taehyun has already defeated two Chinese representatives.

There was no longer any courtesy to be shown to them.

“What are you doing? To the subjects of the great nation.”

‘Could it be… did they change again?’

Taehyun looked at Seo Han-gil with an expression of boredom.

He slowly averted his gaze.

“I guess you understand. The person in front of you has sworn allegiance to our great nation. “We even signed the Awakened Pledge.”

Seo Han-gil’s face, which had been avoiding eye contact, suddenly distorted.

“I couldn’t help it… If I hadn’t done that, by now I would have…”

“It’s done.”

I was planning on holding them for the crime of conspiring with Japan anyway.

There was no need to listen to excuses.

“so. Where are the players Seongjin Park and Siyang Kwak? “This is your last chance.”

Seo Han-gil, bound by chains, pointed to the tower with his chin.

It meant entering Yongin’s tower.

Taehyun sighed.

I didn’t think those two people went in willingly.

But for whatever reason.

‘With just two people. ‘It’s impossible to hold out there.’

Did he read Taehyun’s thoughts?

Before I knew it, Zhang Linfeng had come right in front of me and opened his mouth in a mocking manner.

“Don’t worry too much. If you go first, they will soon follow. No, maybe they’ve already gone first and are waiting. “The energy I feel from that tower is not normal.”

Xu Xin Tsai Mingmin Zhengzhi and Zhang Linfeng.

Taehyun clicked his tongue at the constant attitude.

“For a great country, they are acting like little people.”

“what…?”

Looking at Zhang Linfeng, who had thin veins growing on his forehead.

“Are your knees strong?”

Taehyun activated the skill.
