Regressing with the King’s Power - Chapter 111

Episode 111

My vision was blurry.

I know that it is neither reality nor a dream.

A place like a hazy fog.

‘Someone’ was talking to Taehyun there.

Taehyun’s consciousness approached ‘someone’.

Right in front.

There was a man with the same appearance.

Another Kim Tae-hyun who was completely caught red-handed.

I thought I was seeing something.

Still, I couldn’t help but ask.

‘What are you…?’

That was an instinctive question.

This is the reaction that any living being facing a doppelganger should be able to show.

Another Taehyun responded to that reaction.

He burst into laughter.

[hey. You are not handling ‘that power’ properly.]

‘What?’

[S rank? SS grade? It’s not even funny. What are you doing with the king’s power?]

‘Who are you? ‘Where am I?’

This is incomprehensible.

How does this guy know about the king?

Is it really like a dream?

Is it a world of unconsciousness?

It was a time when I was thinking of various possibilities.

Another Taehyun made a move.

Twenty-two dark red magical powers began to bloom from his body.

[If you don’t intend to do it right. That body.]

‘…?’

[I’ll take it.]

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Incredible magical power filled the space.

The fog-like blur cleared away and the world behind it was revealed.

A vast desert spread out under a red sky.

The corpses of countless monsters were thrown away there.

Quad deuk. Quad deud deuk.

Taehyeon’s magical power began to devour the corpses of monsters around the world.

My vision turned red.

* * *

The first sensation I felt was pain.

I moaned involuntarily due to the pain I felt in my arms and legs.

I saw a white ceiling in front of me.

As I moved my body, a creaking sound rang out.

“You finally woke up.”

Taehyun turned his head.

Ayoung was there.

Not Night Walker guild leader Yoo Ah-young.

Lim A-young, Tae-hyun’s Konkuk High School classmate.

widely.

She closed the book she was reading and came to the bed.

“This is….”

“It’s the new Korea.”

“I see… I fainted.”

I couldn’t help but laugh at the familiar situation.

I was able to recall the last memory without difficulty.

Rosaria was summoned to confront the being called Igmun.

I even remembered that the techniques she used had reached their limits in terms of magic power and fatigue.

It was probably after that that I lost consciousness.

“Taehyun Kim. “Wherever you go… wow….”

She was about to yell at Taehyun, but she caught her breath.

It was because I remembered that he was a patient.

Or rather, does he have the right to shout at Taehyun?

Unlike her, who was lost in thought, Taehyun was calm.

“How long have I been lying down?”

“It’s only been exactly 24 hours since I returned to New Korea. “In the meantime, I was treated regularly by the Association’s A-rank healer.”

“I’m indebted to you. “But why are you here?”

Taehyun asked with a questioning expression.

This is because Ayoung was a B-level player in the association and was building a career by exploring the Abyss.

“Are you really not interested in me at all?”

“Probably not?”

“….”

That was sincere.

Ayoung is a future SS-level player.

It’s just that I’ve been too busy with recent events to pay attention.

“…I became a Grade A player not long ago. “It just so happened that I was assigned a VIP escort mission.”

“Am I that VIP?”

Taehyun pointed at himself with his index finger.

Ayoung nodded.

“okay. Anyway, you… are called the future of the new Korea.”

“It is the future of the country. “That’s nice to hear.”

I couldn’t help but laugh at the completely different evaluation from my previous life.

“Anyway, I’d like to know about the current situation.”

Ayoung wordlessly handed me the tablet PC.

As if she was watching it too, the political and social trends came into view at a glance.

‘China’s ambition. It’s finally becoming a reality.’

‘The Chinese side. Hong Kong is its own territory. He announced his intention not to tolerate interference from other countries.’

‘Hong Kong-Taiwan declares alliance against China. ‘We will respond strongly to invasion.’

‘National power level Zhang Linfeng player. He was found dead.’

‘The Chinese side. This incident was announced as an extreme action by Zhang Linfeng and his personal forces.’

‘World Players Association. ‘We express our condolences on the death of Hong Kong Association Chairman Zhu Lichen and his staff.’

‘New Korea Association President Ji Jin-hee. They expressed their position that they will do their best to protect their country’s players.’

‘Kim Tae-hyun was caught up in the incident. ‘No danger to life?’

‘Taiwan side. I would like to express my gratitude to Kim Tae-hyun and New Korea for saving Hong Kong.’

“It’s a sight.”

Taehyun laughed again.

Some people even called themselves heroes.

Of course, most of the content was fiercely criticized by China, saying that it should be subject to an international trial.

“If it weren’t for you, Hong Kong would have been completely taken over by China by now.”

“why. “I guess there was a large army on standby?”

“….”

Ayoung tried to maintain a poker face after guessing correctly.

“that’s right. Although China denies it. “I think they were preparing a large army at the warp gate.”

“I guess so.”

Taehyun said as if it was no big deal.

In my previous life, China was the winning country.

Starting with Hong Kong, which was quickly occupied, Taiwan was also absorbed and unified.

This happened before the surrounding countries even tried their hand.

but.

China Hong Kong Taiwan.

It’s a foreign matter anyway.

Although it has become complicated now with various interests intertwined.

Since they were originally one country, Taehyun had no intention of becoming involved with them anymore.

The only reason I wanted to deal with Zhang Linfeng was to repay my debt in the Abyss.

It is nothing more and nothing less.

‘Anyway, as long as I stay in India, the goal is achieved…’

At that moment, Taehyun’s expression changed strangely.

“Lim Ayoung.”

“why?”

“Have you ever heard anything about India?”

“When I found you, the situation was so urgent… I didn’t hear that you had any special belongings?”

“….”

Taehyun fell asleep without realizing it.

Only one handbook will be prepared for the winning country.

This is because it is created and stored with the approval of all participating countries before the friendly match begins.

in other words.

In order to reissue a lost delivery document, approval from all participating countries must be obtained again.

“If I do this, I’m going to leave…”

Taehyun was sweating profusely.

at that time.

The hospital room door opened and President Ji Jin-hee of the association came in.

“Taehyun!! “I really won’t be able to live up to my name if this continues!!”

“haha. Sorry…”

Let’s let out an awkward laugh.

Ji Jin-hee, the president of the association, hugged Tae-hyeon.

* * *

Association President Ji Jin-hee’s nagging continued for over an hour.

The question was why did you forcefully deal with them instead of avoiding them?

It was a natural reaction since Taehyeon’s safety was more important to him than the situation in other countries.

‘I’m sorry for no reason.’

As for Taehyun, he cares about him.

All I could say was that the situation had to be that way.

“Taehyun. You are the future of our new Korea. “Please promise me that if you’re ever in a situation like that next time, you’ll take care of yourself first.”

“All right.”

“Whew. “This old man got excited and harassed the patient again.”

“no. “Your body has already fully recovered.”

Taehyun raised his arm with his strength restored.

It’s not that I wasn’t, but I felt light, probably because I was paying a lot of attention while I was unconscious.

“But let’s rest a little longer. “It’s been a while since the friendly match ended… I’m sorry.”

“no. More than that…”

Taehyeon spoke about the guide book that was lost during the battle.

“It was lost… Normally, there wouldn’t be much difficulty in getting it reissued. “Looking at the current situation, I don’t think it will be easy.”

“You mean they won’t admit it.”

“I don’t know about other countries, but China and Japan probably do that.”

“All right.”

“Are you… perhaps thinking of something else dangerous?”

“That can’t be right.”

For Ji Jin-hee, who truly cares about him.

Taehyun was just faithful to his role as an innocent grandson.

After Ji Jin-hee and Ah-young left.

Taehyun opened the status window.

Blood Rush(?) – ?

‘what?’

I tilted my head at the status window, which was different from what I expected.

He clearly preyed on Zhang Linfeng.

So, of course, he should have ‘Blood Sword’ at the bottom of his skills.

It was the first time I had seen this skill registered.

‘Blood rush?’

Taehyeon recalled the last battle with Zhang Linfeng.

The moment that instantly turned him, who had both his arms cut off, into a monster with all stats of 250.

I thought it wasn’t just a runaway, but I also didn’t expect it to be a skill.

‘I have a bad feeling.’

Just as he signed a contract with Archduke Rosaria and gained skills.

It was highly likely that Zhang Linfeng’s skills were also obtained through a contract with Grand Duke Igmun.

‘Otherwise there’s no way it would be marked as unusable.’

I tried activating the skill just in case, but no change or message appeared.

“Whew. “Even with this level of power, there is still a long way to go.”

He was now one of the world’s most powerful men, known as the nation’s powerhouse.

But from the perspective of knowing the future 15 years from now.

“It’s not enough.”

Demons active in the depths of the Abyss and outside of Asia.

I thought of strong players outside of the standards that are currently unknown.

Taehyun once again realized his weakness.

“You have to become stronger.”

There were two ways to effectively become stronger at this point.

Travel around the depths of the Abyss and deal with monsters.

Deal with monsters in unexplored dungeons.

Taehyun knew what would happen in the future, so there was no need to think long.

‘Let’s solve the unexplored dungeons first.’

I got off the bed and changed into the clothes hanging on the hanger.

I didn’t expect India to be lost due to the presence of Archduke Igmun.

However, the order would not change significantly.

Dungeon Break, which was coming soon, naturally came to mind.

A massive break that even two national power players could not handle.

An unexplored dungeon at Beomjinsa Temple in Kyoto.

If possible, it would be better to resolve it before a catastrophe occurs.

‘The Japanese association president will not give permission easily.’

However, he was reluctant to persuade Association President Ji Jin-hee, who was taking a hard line against Japan.

The thought didn’t last long.

A person who has the power to influence the president of the Japanese Association and who will not refuse his request.

A woman came to mind to help me get things done smoothly.

The woman who Taehyun destroyed in a friendly match.

Saint Yoshikawa Tsurara.
