Regressing with the King’s Power - Chapter 145

Episode 145

[What is it? That power.]

Venom asked, calming his trembling antennae and shivering body.

“I told you. “It’s the power of the king.”

Taehyun said, controlling his dark red magic power.

[King…?]

Squeak. Squeak. Squeak. Squeak.

Venom laughed out loud once again.

You call yourself a king rather than a grand duke.

What kind of crazy person would do something like that?

On the other hand, Taehyun, the person involved, still seemed to think it was no big deal.

“Everyone had similar reactions before they were eaten.”

[….]

Only then did Venom stop laughing.

I realized it.

Taehyun is not joking.

He is eating himself, who is not even a parasite but the ruler of this dungeon.

[Does he even have the same abilities as me?]

It’s time to have a ray of doubt about his bold attitude.

At Taehyun’s hand gesture, dark red magical power changed its form.

Ugh.

It was a maw made of dark red magic power that could swallow up Venom’s large body.

That power is more sinister than the gray magic flowing through the dungeon.

Quagwagwagwagwa.

Rushed towards the target.

A moment of hesitation.

He belatedly dodged the attack, but his hesitation resulted in giving up one arm.

This is because the speed of ‘predation’ was as fast as that of Venom, which uses wings.

Quad deuk.

[…!!]

Venom could not hide his surprise at the torn off arm.

Chairman Jeong’s body had adapted to some degree.

Even now, his original strength is gradually returning, but his arm, which was not even injured by the previous attack, is torn off in an instant.

[What kind of obscenity is this?]

Venom clicked his tongue, imitating a human.

Pain wasn’t an important sensation to him.

I just have doubts about this new power.

On the other hand.

[I have devoured a huge amount of magical power. Speed has increased by 1.]

[A huge amount of magical energy has been consumed. Speed has increased by 1.]

[A huge amount of magical energy has been consumed. [The speed has increased by 1.]

Taehyun was satisfied with the message window that appeared.

“you. “He’s got quite good nutrients, right?”

[What…?]

“Bring it. “The other arm too.”

Once again, the maw of predation aimed at Venom.

This time, Venom didn’t waste any time and quickly dodged.

Than your own solid body.

It was acknowledged that that unknown magic power was sharper.

It’s not just sharpness.

Even his own strength, speed, was catching up.

Food is great. Food is great.

Venom’s wings moved constantly.

If you let go of the slightest tension, you become prey.

[This… this is ridiculous…]

Venom reacted in bewilderment to the sudden change in the situation, and Taehyun was equally embarrassed.

‘That guy. Has he grown in the meantime?’

Since I didn’t use ‘Blood Rush’, the speed felt completely different.

Even with the magical power of a determined predator, it is difficult to properly capture its movements.

If the game continued like this for a long time, it was obvious that Taehyun’s magic power would run out first.

‘then.’

Tiring.

[Skill Monster Eyes (AA) has been activated.]

As Predation was used, the red vision became even darker.

and.

An unexpected message window appeared.

[The overlapping effects of the skills Monster Eyes (AA) and Predation (AA) have been activated.]

[Skill Monster Eyes (AA) are temporarily transformed into the eyes of a higher species (AA).]

Tsuzutsu.

Just like when using ‘Blood Rush’.

I felt as if the opened red eyes became even more intense.

Up Down Left Right.

Venom moves quickly and avoids ‘predation’.

The guy’s movements seemed distinctly slow.

Taehyun extended his hand towards Venom.

‘If you see the path, you can’t miss it.’

Wow.

As I grasped my outstretched hand, the magic power of predation differentiated into several.

One of them.

The magic power differentiated into a small maw succeeded in biting off one of Venom’s legs.

Quad deuk.

[…!!]

Venom’s movements slowed down due to the unexpected attack.

‘bingo.’

Quad deuk. Quad deuk.

The remaining limbs were swallowed up in an instant.

[I have devoured a huge amount of magical power. Stamina has increased by 1.]

[A huge amount of magical energy has been consumed. Stamina has increased by 1.]

[A huge amount of magical energy has been consumed. Strength has increased by 1.]

[A huge amount of magical energy has been consumed. Speed has increased by 1.]

[A huge amount of magical energy has been consumed. Magic power has increased by 1.]

‘I’ll finish it like this.’

Wow.

This is the moment when the combined magic power is about to engulf the body.

Cheeeeeeeek.

Strong acid spewed out from Venom’s mouth.

It was enough to fill the entire area.

“…!!”

While the predator’s magic slowed down for a moment, it used its wings to increase the distance.

Chii Iik.

The floor of the laboratory that had become a dungeon melted.

Taehyun had no choice but to widen his distance as the amount of damage was beyond restoration.

[I admit it. That I was looking down on him.]

‘Oh no.’

In that gap when Taehyun widened the distance for a moment.

The gray magic power that was filling the laboratory gathered into Venom.

I decided not to take any more risks and just put my all into it.

Quad deuk. Quad deuk. Quad deuk. Quad deuk.

New limbs were created in place of the torn limbs.

They looked even more bizarre than before, having already abandoned their human form.

Chi profit. Chii Iik.

Eyes, nose, ears, etc.

Acidic liquid flowed from all over the body.

The body of Association Chairman Zheng Zhi, who had been the host for the unbearable magical power, began to collapse.

‘That might be a bit dangerous.’

Tiring.

[The unique skill Predation (AA) is strengthened. The consumption of magic power accelerates.]

Taehyun surrounded his body with the magic power of satiety.

It was clear that the guy was targeting his body.

just as expected.

[That body is mine.]

Venom flew in at a speed that was unbecoming of its massive body.

Cheeeeeeeek.

I don’t know what to do.

The two magical forces collided and sparks flew.

It was Taehyun who won first.

Quad deuk. Quad deuk. Quad deuk.

The predatory magic pierced through the gray magic and bit off the guy’s limbs once again.

A message about my stats rising appeared before my eyes.

Nevertheless.

[Give me that body!!!]

He threw himself in, not even caring that his entire body was torn apart.

It was to use Taehyun as a new host.

‘This guy is confident of infecting me.’

Normally, I would have somehow widened the distance and blocked access.

‘I don’t have much magic power left.’

Taehyun didn’t even have that option right now.

‘Eyes of the Monster’ has been unlocked.

The purpose was to channel as much magical power into predation.

Quad deuk. Quad deuk.

Meanwhile, Venom was right in front of us.

It was the result of repeated regeneration using the constantly surging magic power of the dungeon.

‘Disgusting bastard.’

at that time.

A thought occurred to Taehyun’s mind.

A way to definitely end Venom even in his current state of low mana.

I can’t say there is no risk, though.

If successful, you can see the same effect as feasting on Venom.

‘Shall we try?’

Before we knew it, Venom, who had broken through the magical power of predation and was completely destroyed, reached Taehyeon.

[It is my victory. Your body is now mine…]

“No.”

Wow.

Taehyun placed his hand on Venom’s body, which had begun to regenerate.

“I am the one eating.”

Gray magic power and dark red magic power began to tangle.

* * *

What Venom could see was no longer his dungeon.

The red sky symbolizing the Abyss.

And likewise, a desert-like land somewhere in the Abyss.

Venom could tell that he had entered Taehyun’s mental world.

Before he knew it, his fully regenerated body began to shake.

[Eating me?]

Squeak. Squeak. Squeak. Squeak.

What on earth was he thinking when he said that?

The world of imagery is the best place to start ‘erosion’ beyond ‘infection’.

Once the erosion is over, Kim Tae-hyun’s body will be under his control.

This is when Venom is enjoying his victory and letting out a bizarre laugh.

Suddenly, the antennae began to stiffen.

It captures the response of magical power.

And that’s not a small amount of horsepower.

A person’s image belatedly appeared in Venom’s eyes.

[Who are you? You.]

This was a world of images.

Unless you are a special being like yourself, you cannot invade or even exist.

“This is ridiculous.”

A man appeared with a familiar voice.

[You… Taehyun Kim?]

Venom tilted his head at the incomprehensible situation.

Clearly, his intrusion was perfect.

This guy must be exerting all his power just by maintaining the balance of his magic power outside.

In other words, there is no such thing as the ability to enter the world of images.

But why?

Is he here?

“Now, if we keep doing this, are we even letting bugs in? “I’m going crazy.”

[you. Who is it?]

Venom asked, feeling an unusual magical power from the other person.

I belatedly remembered what Taehyun had said.

To eat yourself.

“Shut that stinking mouth. “The bug of Beelzebub.”

Taehyun, his red eyes flashing, spoke as if he was annoyed.

[How dare you….]

Softly.

Just for a moment, let Venom’s large body tremble.

The gray magical power overflowing from his body spread throughout the area.

The erosion of the world of images has begun.

[I will punish you after that.]

Venom glared at Taehyun, showing his ugly teeth.

but.

Quaaaaaaaaa.

The overwhelming magical power emanating from Taehyun’s body.

The dark red magic power began to push out the gray magic power.

[This is…]

The magic power that bit his own body.

That force was pushing away his own power.

[How…]

I came here with a lot of the dungeon’s magic power.

Even if you look in the Abyss, you won’t find many beings that your current self cannot erode.

however.

why.

“People these days really don’t know how to be polite.”

Taehyun said, unleashing endless magic power.

It was a completely different level of concentration than when I had just met him outside.

Venom’s gray magic has already mixed with the dark red magic and lost its color.

“I can’t believe I can unlock magic in my own home. “Are you crazy?”

[You… no way, Archduke….]

“Didn’t I tell you? “Shut that stinking mouth.”

Sigh.

Taehyun flicked his hand.

A chain was created from the magical power that spread throughout the area.

Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Sigh.

It was the skill ‘Chain of Binding’ that Taehyun used.

In an instant, Venom’s whole body was pulled taut.

[Let go…!!]

Venom does not feel pain.

This is because it constantly regenerates and can be resurrected at any time through the host’s body.

A semi-immortal body.

but.

“I’m curious.”

Sigh.

When Taehyun flicked his hand again, hundreds of blades were created in the air.

Each one contained magical power that could easily cut off Venom’s body.

“When will that life end?”

Smirk.

Taehyun smiled sinisterly and approached Venom.

I flinch. I flinch.

It didn’t take long for Venom’s chained body to understand the situation.

Rattling.

Instinctive fear.

The half-immortal’s body began to tremble violently as he finally predicted the identity of the person in front of him.
