Regressing with the King’s Power - Chapter 177

177

: One Strike.

“Cough…cough…”

With one single blow, Geohan Park fell to his knees.

He was coughing as if he couldn’t breathe.

“What is going on here…?”

“Geohan… so simply…”

The two men were watching.

Jeong Tae-woo and Choi Chi-soo muttered as if they couldn’t believe it.

The others who were watching without thinking about it did the same.

There were quite a few rumors in other guilds that Park Geo-han had a bad personality.

Nevertheless, the reason I couldn’t criticize him openly was because I was confident in his skills.

Geohan Park, Dokja Talchum.

He was a talented player even in Grade A.

“Taewoo… what is that person?”

Choi Chi-soo asked in a dazed voice.

Hyuntae Kim.

They have two skills at the same A level as themselves.

I thought it wouldn’t work for Park Geo-han.

This is because I have never heard of the name Kim Hyun-tae before.

The general probability was that for the same level, the probability of an unknown player beating a famous player was less than 20%.

“Aren’t you guys…? Other than being a grade A player…”

“That skill is grade A?”

“….”

Jeong Tae-woo and Choi Chi-soo were also grade A players.

Like Geohan Park, he is a talented person who ranks high in A grade.

Nevertheless, I did not have the confidence to put Park Geo-han to sleep with one blow.

‘I don’t know if it’s S rank.’

Top-tier players like Park Seong-jin, Kwon Kang-hyuk, Kwak Si-yang, and Yoo Ah-young naturally came to mind.

Among the S-ranks they knew, I looked for the name Kim Hyun-tae.

Naturally, there were no matching faces.

‘Could it be that the license is forged?’

“I know what you’re thinking. “I checked the license properly.”

Jeong Tae-woo also spoke with an expression that did not make sense.

At that time, Taehyun, who had defeated Park Geohan, came down to the sparring hall.

Park Geo-han was still on his knees, vomiting.

“Hey. I almost lost. “It was a narrow difference.”

“….”

“….”

Jeong Tae-woo and Choi Chi-soo were left speechless for a moment due to their sly attitude.

It was Jeong Tae-woo who came to his senses first.

“Player Kim Hyun-tae. “What on earth is it?”

“What do you mean?”

Taehyun shrugged his shoulders as if he had no idea what he was talking about.

“Really… I mean, is it really grade A?”

“Didn’t you check my license yourself?”

“….”

Jeong Tae-woo was once again at a loss for words at the obvious answer.

“Oh, and the position of leader of the strategy that I had bet on.”

“A promise is a promise… so I will hand over my position.”

“no. “I hope that it will be left to the player who left it behind.”

“May I ask why?”

“Actually, I have heard of Park Geo-han’s skills. “The nickname ‘Dokja Talchum’ is quite famous.”

‘What on earth did you do to defeat that guy with one blow?’

Jeong Tae-woo and Choi Chi-soo wanted to ask that question, but they couldn’t bring themselves to say it.

“Is there anything else you want?”

It was a question I had already been thinking about.

“Please give me the position of secretary of the Hanbit Guild.”

“You’re the secretary?”

“yes. “I understand that the guild leader is in charge of everything now.”

“That’s true, but…”

The work of a guild isn’t much different from that of a regular company.

In addition to forming a raid team to explore the Abyss, guild members in administrative positions such as accounting, personnel, sales, and general affairs were essential.

The problem is that even those guild members can’t stand Park Geo-han’s personality and leave.

“You can hold an administrative position with this level of skill…”

Jeong Tae-woo trailed off as if he couldn’t understand.

If it’s the skill you just saw.

Even though he held the position of leader of a large guild, he had no shortcomings.

But the secretary of the Hanbit Guild, which has not yet established itself, is far from glorious.

It was a choice that was difficult to understand through common sense.

“It’s not a chore. “Only when your inner life is strong can you live well outside.”

Jeong Tae-woo’s eyes sparkled at those words.

“Oh… I guess you really know something.”

“hey. Tae-woo….”

Choi Chi-soo grabbed Jeong Tae-woo’s shoulder and looked at Tae-hyun.

Those eyes were full of doubt.

“I understand. “Suddenly, a guy I don’t know very well is suddenly asking for the position of general manager.”

“Honestly, what are you thinking about joining our guild? I can’t help but ask the true meaning of that. Just in case, a spy from another guild….”

“I will make a donation of 30 billion won to the Hanbit Guild.”

Taehyun answered, interrupting Choi Chisu.

“yes?!!”

“what?!!”

The two surprised people shouted at the same time.

Although they were proud of having touched quite a lot of money, 30 billion was still an unimaginably large amount for criminals.

“No… Why so much…”

Jeong Tae-woo, who was carrying a large loan, asked in a trembling voice.

“Think of it as an investment for the future. “I believe in the vision you two have.”

“….”

When it came out like this, it was difficult for Choi Chi-su to push it away any longer.

This is because 30 billion won is the investment amount that can help Hanbit Guild grow to the next level.

“And the player who got kicked out. “There should not be a repeat of guild members going out on their own.”

“I will sting Geohan…”

“Even if I break his leg with a club…”

The two were already ready to listen to anything Taehyeon said.

But Taehyun lightly shook his head.

“You two have positions. “I will educate you myself.”

It was hard to see clearly because it was covered with messy hair.

The two people had to feel an eerie look in Taehyun’s eyes.

* * *

Taehyeon, who was entrusted with Park Geo-han’s training, left the sparring hall.

‘This will be enough for now.’

If Tae-hyeon remembered Jeong Tae-woo, he would have been able to lay the foundation for the guild’s growth with a donation of 30 billion won.

Additionally, the secretary position is the best position to check how the guild is running.

From now on, everything that happens in the Hanbit Guild will come to Taehyeon.

All of this is a grade A license issued by Ji Jin-hee.

This was possible because of his status as Kim Hyun-tae.

‘The die is cast.’

For Taehyun now, it is more efficient to use the four major guilds than to grow the Hanbit guild.

Still, the reason it was such a hassle wasn’t just because of affection.

SSS grade monster Asmodeus.

The one who pushed Taehyun to the brink of death and made him awaken.

The idea was that if I contacted him, I would be able to find clues about the source of Taehyun’s power, the ‘King’.

‘I can’t use skills like bombs without risking it forever.’

From doppelgangers trying to steal your body to arbitrarily changed status windows.

It was clear that the king who brought Taehyeon back knew something.

The problem is that there are about 15 years left until the Hanbit Guild discovers Asmodeus’ territory.

Although it is said that the passage of time has sped up through regression.

We couldn’t just wait for Hanbit Guild to grow on its own amid various variables.

That’s why I signed up under the pseudonym Kim Hyun-tae, not Kim Tae-hyun.

‘Jung Tae-woo said that he solved the initial financial difficulties through investment through refusal.’

It will be 5 years from now that I meet that rejection.

Taehyun had brought the time forward by at least 5 years.

In a way, the time coincided with the major events happening now.

‘I can leave the general affairs work to Secretary Yoon… I’ll just go to the Abyss first.’

There were many skills that I had not yet tested in practice.

Previously.

“How long are you going to watch?”

Silence fell on the quiet street.

A woman came up behind Taehyun.

“I didn’t know you also had a hobby of dressing up?”

“….”

Taehyun was speechless as he looked at the woman.

She wore a school uniform from a nearby girls’ high school, messy hair, and glasses.

It was my first time seeing a woman with dyed green hair.

“What are you doing here? “Guild leader Yoo Ah-young.”

Taehyun figured out the other person’s identity right away.

“oh. Have you already been caught? “I tried following something similar.”

“It’s not similar at all.”

“Ahaha. With a straight face. “That’s too much for someone who only sent a bouquet of flowers as a discharge gift~”

Ayoung said, naturally crossing her arms.

“I just sent it to say hello. And first, take off your arms…”

“Let’s use this as a discharge gift. I will not tell you? “What are you doing, creating a new identity?”

Ayoung asked, pointing to the building where Taehyun came out a little while ago.

“I just thought it was a good guild.”

“You’re not telling the head of the Information Guild to believe that, are you?”

Ayoung’s eyes narrowed behind her glasses.

“Is that all that matters?”

“Hmm~ Rather than that, should we go on a date?”

Ayoung looked at Taehyun with sullen eyes.

“I’ll pay you what you owe me.”

At the word debt, a forgotten promise came to Taehyun’s mind.

“Come to think of it. “I was planning on spending some time separately with Guild Leader Yoo Ah-young.”

“hmm? It’s unusually powerful, isn’t it? Do you like it!!”

“I can choose the location, right?”

“Hehe. where are you? Abroad?”

“Well, it’s definitely not domestic.”

“call!!”

Excited, Ayoung jumped up and down and gave strength to her arms.

After a while.

Arriving at the Night Walker headquarters, Ayoung’s expression hardened.

The two crossed the warp gate heading to the deep side side by side.

For SS-rank players.

Taehyun’s one-on-one tutoring has begun.

* * *

The deepest part of the Abyss.

Although the succubi were usually very playful, there was a lot of tension throughout the castle.

[Queen. The Vampire Lord has arrived.]

[Everyone, leave.]

Only Rosaria commanded in her usual alluring voice.

[Yes.]

After a while, the door opened and a man in a bright red coat came in.

It was a man with pale skin and blond hair.

Vampire Lord Igmun stood in front of Rosaria.

Succubus Queen Rosaria welcomed a guest after a long time.

[You took a heavy step. It’s a vampire.]

[Something like a dream horse is making fun of his cheeky mouth.]

[Hehe. This is the original woman’s castle. You must watch out for that vulgar mouth.]

[….]

[Tell me your business.]

[I’ll give you a chance. A person who signed a contract for four years. [Call Taehyun Kim.]

Igmun growled without removing his hand from his coat.

[Why?]

[That guy is using my power.]

Crackling.

Rosaria laughed out loud at the unexpected words.

On the other hand, I understood how Taehyun, who didn’t even have a contract, was using Igmun’s power.

[Then why don’t you go see it in person?]

[Now. This me. Is it mocking?]

Kwagwagwagwa.

Blood-red magic exploded from Igmun’s body.

Poseok. Poseok. Poseok.

Structures touched by magic began to explode.

[Hehe. I’m still impatient.]

Rosaria said with a mocking smile.

[Speak. Why is that guy using my power without a contract?]

[Because he is a person who is interested in the two Grand Dukes… The contractor’s difficult future is bright.]

It was natural for Ig-moon to feel ignored by the Zen question and answer.

[I won’t ask twice. Answer. You damn dream.]

[You’re dumber than you look. Bloody Prince.]

Rosaria’s red eyes became increasingly red.

There was no longer a smile on her lips.

[Before we even became Grand Dukes. Isn’t there someone who occupied the Grand Duke’s seat in a human body?]

Unusually, Igmun’s eyes shook greatly.

[No way…]

Even for him, who had lived for ages, vague events from the past came to mind.

[More than that, I would lose my respect if I just let the guest go.]

Rosaria got up from the throne.

A huge magical power rose from her body.

[Insolent.]

Igmun even created magical power.

Starting with the magical powers of the two archdukes colliding.

A huge explosion occurred that shook the castle.
