Regressing with the King’s Power - Chapter 133
Episode 133
[Taehyun. How do you feel?]
A man’s voice came from the speaker.
It was Seo Sang-ik, the leader of the Alchemist guild.
He was currently watching Taehyun from beyond the wall.
“well. “There is no change in the status window.”
[Would you like to try the skill?]
“I understand.”
Taehyun activated skills one after another.
Tiring.
[The unique skill Predation (AA) cannot be used.]
[The skill Shadow Skin (AA) cannot be used.] [
The skill Lord’s World (AA) cannot be used.]
[Skill Lord’s Mettle (AA) ) cannot be used.]
[The skill Binding Chains (AA) cannot be used.]
[The skill Queen’s Man (AA) cannot be used.]
[The skill Complete Hypnosis (AA) cannot be used. .]
A huge magical power that would normally make one squirm just by recognizing it.
‘I don’t feel it.’
It felt as if it had been blocked by a hard stopper.
There are now two skills remaining.
Taehyun used ‘Monster’s Eyes’, which is relatively less burdensome.
Tiring.
[Skill Monster Eyes (AA) has been activated.]
The vision seemed to turn red.
Before I knew it, Taehyun’s eyes reflected in the mirror wall had turned red.
‘There is no need to use Blood Rush.’
This is because it was confirmed that nothing had changed since before drinking the potion.
[How do you feel?]
“It’s the same.”
[Is that so…]
The two people sighed together.
The purpose of making potions in the first place was to use sealed skills.
If the seal is still not lifted, this potion should be considered a failure.
After a while.
The two met face to face in the guild leader’s room.
Seo Sangik carefully handed over some documents.
“As I said last time. A total of 20 rare ingredients were mixed into the potion that Taehyun drank. “They all contain ingredients to sensitize magical power.”
“yes. “That’s what you said.”
Taehyun nodded.
“But looking at the results now… except for one skill that was activated a little while ago, no movement of magic power has been checked… You invested 10 billion won, but you have no shame.”
Seo Sang-ik bowed his head and apologized.
To Taehyun now, 10 billion is not a lot of money.
Even if we only accept sponsors who are anxious to line up right away, we will receive 100 billion won.
Nevertheless.
The reason Seo Sang-ik apologized was because of the disappointment Tae-hyun felt.
New Korea’s S-rank player.
New Korea’s best chemist.
The guild leader of Alchemist, the best blue-collar guild in New Korea.
Although it was a great background, it was nothing compared to the name of national power level.
Such a national power player came first and asked for it.
He took the risk and revealed that his skills were sealed.
It was something you couldn’t do if you didn’t trust yourself.
As a person, I wanted to repay that trust.
but.
‘I wonder how this curse came to be…’
I can’t solve it.
He made it using the best ingredients he knew, but there wasn’t even a single movement.
He had been confident that he could lift any curse skill until now.
There is no longer any way within the new Korea for him to be unable to break the seal.
It was the same as admitting that fact.
‘I can’t believe that a power equivalent to that of a national power has been sealed…’ Even
thinking about his S-rank skills being sealed right now, he feels the despair of losing his country.
Seo Sang-ik couldn’t even imagine how much disappointment and frustration Tae-hyun must feel.
Taehyun was the first to speak in the silence.
“There is no need to be too sorry. “It’s enough for the guild leader to know that he can’t do anything about it.”
“What do you plan to do now?”
Seo Sang-ik carefully asked what his next move would be.
Taehyun is currently attracting attention from all over the world.
Is it known that he, who is considered the greatest force in the new Korea, is not perfect?
With that alone, it was impossible to predict what kind of checks would be placed on the new Korea.
It’s a fact that very few people know now, but if he hides himself like this for a long time, all kinds of rumors are sure to spread.
‘It has to be resolved before the license award ceremony.’
The SS level license award ceremony will be broadcast live simultaneously around the world.
Taehyun didn’t mind if he didn’t get an SS level license right away, but Ji Jinhee seemed like he wanted to accept it if possible.
‘Well, an SS-level license would be quite useful at this point… More than that, you’re a fucking doppelganger. Why on earth are you hiding again?’
When I thought of the doppelganger who disappeared so quickly, I couldn’t help but curse.
At this point, I felt like I had to lift the seal before I could try talking to him or fighting him.
Seo Sang-ik, Plan A, failed.
Now there was only one way that came to mind.
“I guess I’ll have to look for someone overseas.”
“….”
At the word overseas, a woman came to Seo Sang-ik’s mind.
“Are you planning on meeting Ricky Harlis?”
A woman who is considered America’s national power and the strongest magician.
A powerful person rumored to be able to cancel even the ‘Awakened Oath’.
Taehyun didn’t bother to hide it.
“yes. “I’m thinking of walking up to her.”
“okay. Please… I hope there are good results.”
Seo Sang-ik bowed politely once again and Tae-hyun bowed his head.
“thank you.”
Taehyun quickly left the building.
Ricky Harlis.
First it was time to find out where she was.
* * *
Association President Jeong Zhi was chewing a cigarette and playing baduk.
Percussion. Percussion.
He was lost in thought as he placed the black and white pieces of Baduk alone.
‘That’s not good.’
Not only did they miss out on winning the Asian Player Friendly Tournament, but they also lost three national power players.
Moreover, the war of unification could not be completed.
Percussion. Percussion.
“Hmm…”
The black baduk egg swallowed the white baduk egg and grew in size.
Once the black house gained momentum, it began to expand rapidly.
If this continues, hegemony in Asia will be handed over to New Korea.
No, they have already achieved the status of a great power like themselves, and Asia’s first SS-level player has emerged.
It was unknown whether its external image had surpassed that of China.
“Tsk. Stupid guys. “You’re making things this complicated.”
Chairman Zheng Zhi thought of the three late exponents who had died.
Even for Xu Xin and Cai Mingmin, losing Zhang Linfeng was a big loss for him as well.
A man came to mind.
A man who is interfering with his own success at every turn.
Kim Tae-hyun of New Korea.
“This kid… his arrogance is sky-high.”
Life seeped out of his body.
The day is not far when we will have the United States under our feet with the unification of the continent.
It’s like this, being swayed by just one player.
It’s time for Chairman Zheng Zhi to let go of his anger.
A secretary dressed in traditional Chinese clothing came in.
“President of the Association. “This is a report from the Guangzhou laboratory.”
Chairman Jeong Zhi took the documents handed to him by the man and quickly began to turn them over.
The frowning expression gradually became brighter.
It was about the creation of 300 additional S-class enhanced awakeners in the Guangzhou laboratory.
Among them, there are 5 who can be registered as S-rank players.
It was an appropriate number to fill the vacancies lost during the Unification War.
“That’s right. “There is no way our great nation will collapse that easily.”
More than anything.
“They say it was finally successful.”
“No way…”
“Yes. “Complete demonization.”
Chairman Jeong Zhi burst out laughing as if he was proud.
“We will reduce it.”
The secretary bowed his head in respect.
“Hehe… I’m finally getting results I like. “Guangzhou is definitely performing better.”
There are numerous research institutes in mainland China.
In particular, research institutes in Beijing and Shanghai are pouring in an amount equivalent to the annual budget of most countries.
Nevertheless, the Guangzhou research institute achieved something that had previously not achieved any significant results.
For China, which had lost its national electricity supply and was seeking new power sources, this was a welcome achievement in the midst of a drought.
“Have the prisoners and demons been replenished yet?”
“Negotiations will be completed within this week.”
“good. I like it very much. “Send it to the Guangzhou laboratory as soon as it is ready.”
At that time, Chairman Jeong Zhi was envisioning a new future.
Another secretary wearing traditional clothing came in.
It was a woman who managed the official schedule.
“President of the Association. “This is an emergency call.”
“Something?”
“They say Ricky Harlis has arrived at headquarters now.”
“…!!”
“She is asking to see the president of the association.”
“Without any contact?”
“Yes… I’m waiting in the living room right now.”
“Hehe. You come to me without an appointment. “It seems like our match looked quite ridiculous.”
“Shall I refuse?”
“no. Please take us inside. “It’s not polite to throw away a customer.”
“All right.”
“You should go out too.”
“yes.”
Two secretaries left the association president’s office.
Not all national power levels are the same.
In that respect, Ricky Hallis was a player who was evaluated as a much higher level player than Association President Jeongz.
‘Ricky Harlis. She is cocky and fearless….’ Since
she is called the left hand of Association President Kevin Lee, it is impossible for her to blatantly shut her down.
Above all, she couldn’t have come here for something unimportant.
After a while.
Chairman Zheng Zhi welcomed America’s national power class with a friendly smile.
* * *
New Korea. Night Walker Seoul Branch.
Taehyun was checking information in the VVIP reception room.
It was about America’s top players.
There are a total of ten national power levels, and the number of S-level players is close to 100.
Taehyun’s hand, which was looking at the lowest-ranked players, eventually stopped at second-ranked Ricky Hallis.
‘Is the current location Beijing?’
The last information was that she was heading to Beijing as an unofficial envoy.
‘I didn’t understand the purpose.’
No matter how much of a Night Walker I am, I can’t guess about history that hasn’t happened yet.
In that respect.
At this point, there was quite a bit of information that only Taehyun, who had returned, knew.
Her next destination, which is currently visiting Beijing, is the headquarters of the China Players Association and a meeting with the association’s president, Zheng Zhi.
‘I wasted more time than I thought making potions.’
I hoped that the problem would be resolved in Seo Sang-ik’s hands as much as possible.
This is because if Taehyeon receives help from a foreigner, he will also have to pay a corresponding price.
And when it comes to big names like Ricky Hallis, the price is often not money.
Taehyun checked his watch.
The image of a wolf and a fox rolling their heads and growling came to mind.
‘I need to meet you soon.’
A representative was called to purchase information that would give her access.
If I had time, I wouldn’t have had to go all the way to China.
‘It would have been enough to make an official appointment and invite them to New Korea.’
But the problem was that the time was limited.
Ricky Hallis is ranked second in the U.S. national power class and is considered one of the best magicians.
Until she went missing in Guangzhou.
There wasn’t much time left.
