Regressing with the King’s Power - Chapter 181

Episode 181:

Cody Cruz, the world’s strongest player.

He looked unusually weak.

‘Archduke Orgal… Is even this man cautious?’

On the one hand, I understood.

If Taehyun had faced him too, he would have been busy trying to survive.

These feelings are shared by Taehyun and Cody Cruz, who survived their encounter with the Archduke.

It felt like I knew only two people in the whole world.

“That doesn’t change anything.”

“….”

“Our goal is not the battle with the Archduke, but the survival of other players. Or it’s about confirming life or death.”

Only then did Taehyun’s eyes come into Cody Cruz’s eyes.

A pair of red eyes.

The eyes, symbolizing the anti-aircraft contractor, were stained red.

“Just as you saved your life from the Archduke. “Me too.”

The two haven’t shown off all the skills they have yet.

in other words.

It meant that there was a hidden card that could save one’s life even when facing the Archduke.

“Right. “I showed myself weak.”

Cody Cruz shook his head.

Finally, he remembered that the man in front of him was the only player he recognized.

“…Even beyond the warp gate, the road is difficult. “I will go first.”

“That’s right.”

Cody Cruz took the lead and crossed the gate.

Because the gate was incomplete, Taehyun waited for about 5 more minutes.

‘I hope you’re safe.’

The events in Guangzhou and Jeju Island came to mind.

Ricky Harlis

She had a debt from Jeju Island.

‘I hope we don’t end up in the worst situation.’

Originally, he was destined to die in Guangzhou.

Because I was the one who twisted that fate.

I hoped she wouldn’t meet the same end as other players.

After 5 minutes.

Taehyun crossed the gate.

* * *

The deepest part of the Abyss.

A hidden area that ordinary monsters cannot even dare to approach.

Orgal’s castle was located there.

[What happened to the rat?]

Archduke Orgal.

He, otherwise known as the Demon Beast King, asked lowly.

Soon the monster in charge of managing the castle came in, bowing his head.

[It is said that they have now reached the outskirts of the castle walls.]

[It’s taking longer than expected.]

[Sorry for my sin… This guy has so many amazing talents…]

The being in charge of managing the castle is also an SS+ grade monster. But.

I didn’t dare to look Orgal in the eyes.

[It’s a trick… It resembles that lowly thing from Rosaria.]

[I’ll take action myself.]

The monster answered, hitting its head on the floor.

at that time.

“While I was out for a moment. “Something interesting happened.”

A man came into Orgal’s room.

[Are you here? Contractor.]

The man who approached Orgal bent one knee.

Coincidentally, it was right next to the monster with its head stuck.

“indeed. “There are a lot of interesting guys at the deepest level.”

Even though the man spoke in New Korean.

Orgal had no difficulty understanding.

This was because the man had already sacrificed many new Koreans.

[Have you met Asmodeus?]

“Unfortunately, we had already left the area. instead.”

The man took out the supplies for three monsters from his backpack.

[…!!]

The eyes of the monster that was bowing its head widened.

All of them were monsters of the same level as himself.

“These are Asmodeus’ subordinates. “This should have been enough to say hello.”

Orgal snapped his thick fingers.

Srurr.

The magical power that emanated from his hand enveloped the blood-soaked water supply.

The remaining magical power is absorbed by Orgal.

On the contrary, his brown magic was in the supply and demand.

The lifeless eyes flashed red.

It looked like the neck of a stuffed animal.

[Add these to your collection.]

At Orgal’s command, the monster carefully moved the supply and demand.

The heads of four humans who recently invaded the castle.

It was right next to it.

The man who checked the faces of the humans showed interest.

“That’s interesting. “You mean they reached this place?”

[Do you know these guys?]

Orgal’s indifferent red eyes turned to the man.

“They are among the top ten in the human world. But you were the opponent. “You were unlucky.”

[Cluck, click. [It’s ridiculous to see two pieces of meat competing against each other.]

The Archduke’s ridicule was not limited to just the intruders.

It included the entire human race.

However, the man was neither displeased nor angry.

As he said.

This is because for the Archduke, being a SS-level player is no different from a meal.

“I will catch the ones I haven’t caught yet.”

The man stood up and said.

Orgal snapped his fingers.

[no. There is no need for that.]

“…?”

[Should I steal the credit from the person who has been chasing me all this time?]

“It is indeed an idea fit for a monarch.”

The man answered with a grin.

[I will give you a new order.]

“Give it down.”

[A new intruder has entered. Bring their heads.]

‘Is this another SS-rank player?’

This is not a place the average player can find.

There are currently 11 SS-ranked players worldwide.

Four of them have died and one is expected to die soon.

Another intruder out there.

‘As of today, humanity will greatly retreat.’

It wasn’t important to the man anyway.

“All right.”

The man quickly left the room.

* * *

As I crossed the gate, what I saw was an endless field.

And far away.

I saw a huge castle that seemed to have existed only in the Middle Ages.

‘It seems like all archdukes have similar tastes.’

Taehyun remembered that Rosaria’s last name was similar, and concentrated his magic power.

This is because there is nothing good about being caught sneaking in already.

“This way.”

Cody Cruz, who had already completely killed his presence, gestured to Taehyun.

Taehyun followed him and hid behind a rock.

There were five giant ogres wandering around the castle entrance.

‘It’s not difficult to handle, though.’

I thought about the succubus in Rosaria’s castle.

As soon as they were hunted, there was a high possibility that other monsters would flock in droves.

“How did you get in last time?”

Taehyun asked quietly.

“I went in after taking care of the ten half-ogres that were the existing guards.”

“….”

Taehyun’s dumbfounded expression.

Cody Cruz smiled bitterly.

“At that time, I didn’t know that that place was Orgal’s castle. “At best, I thought it was just a colony.”

“So what now?”

“Use this.”

Cody Cruz took out a scroll from his bag.

The word ‘Hide’ was written at the end of the scroll.

It was a stealth scroll.

“Stealth… It’s the most basic infiltration method.”

While saying that, he pushed the scroll towards Cody Cruz.

“…?”

“My skills will be more sophisticated.”

“…is it.”

Cody Cruz put one back in and tore the scroll open.

Sssssssuk.

His body disappeared.

Sssssssuk.

Taehyun also went into hiding just by covering himself with magic.

The two people, avoiding the Giant Ogre’s eyes, quietly sneaked into the castle.

* * *

There was no need to open the door.

This is because there was no door to the castle that could accommodate tens of thousands of people.

It had been about five minutes since the two entered the castle.

Tiring.

[‘Great forces’ are at work. The use of magical power is restricted.]

With a simple message, the two people’s hiding status was lifted.

“I think I got caught.”

“I guess so.”

I expected that I would not be able to continue using this method.

The two people simultaneously covered their bodies with magical power.

Is it unfortunate or fortunate?

There was no trace of the monster immediately.

This was when Taehyun was about to suggest that we split up and search.

“An unexpected celebrity has come here.”

“…!!”

“…!!”

Taehyun and Cody Cruz.

The two people turned their heads in the direction from which the voice was heard.

Taehyun was especially surprised.

‘New Korean?’

The epicenter of the voice.

There was a man on the second floor balcony.

A face that looks like someone in their mid-thirties.

There, a man was shining with red eyes.

‘This is my first time seeing him.’

I glanced at Cody Cruz.

He also looked like he was seeing him for the first time.

“I tried to just slit the head and go back.”

The man jumped down in front of the two people.

“I should say hello to them since they are famous people. Malicious guild leader. “This is Min Ji-hong.”

Grinning.

It was the moment the man smiled.

Cody Cruz threw his sword.

Taehyun thought the man would hit or avoid him.

but.

Quaaaaaaaaa.

A dark sphere floated in the air with a pure white glow.

‘Is that… a black hole…?’

dark sphere.

The black hole swallowed the sword energy as it was.

It was three times larger than the one used as a scroll.

The two people were speechless in this unexpected situation.

“Looking at your reaction, it seems like you know this skill.”

“you. “Who are you?”

Cody Cruz asked lowly.

“Didn’t I tell you? “My name is Min Ji-hong.”

Min Ji-hong chuckled.

“….”

This time, Taehyun pulled out Valhalla and fired sword energy.

nettle liquid.

Even though it was clearly aimed at Min Ji-hong.

Quaaaaa.

The sword energy was literally sucked into the black hole.

‘It’s on a different level from what was used as a scroll.’

Additionally, the additional effect of ‘Black Hole’ disables the skill.

If I didn’t get rid of that black sphere floating in the air, the skill would be useless.

at that time.

A message appeared before Taehyun’s eyes.

[Skill use has been detected. I got caught in the black hole (S). It resists with mysterious power. Resistance was successful.]

‘Oh my.’

Naturally, I thought a message would appear saying that ‘Apocalypse’ could not be used.

‘But this is a different story.’

Taehyun quietly called Cody Cruz.

“Cody. “There is a good operation.”

“Listen.”

“Please deal with the author yourself. In the meantime, I will look for Ricky.”

“….”

“I guess the situation hasn’t been assessed yet. Both of you. “There is no escape from here.”

Quaaaaaaaaa.

The magic power emitted by the black hole became stronger, creating an attractive force.

Jijijijijik.

“Can you do it?”

Taehyun asked as he resisted being dragged away.

“Let’s give it a try.”

“great.”

Taehyun released his magical powers without delay.

Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

Dark red magic spread around.

Many of them were sucked into the black hole.

“You’re wasting magical power needlessly.”

Another ‘black hole’ was created.

The suction power became stronger.

‘As expected, this guy is no ordinary guy either.’

At first glance, he seemed to have similar skills to Taehyun or Cody Cruise.

And red eyes.

The fact that humans are proudly walking around here.

It also meant that this guy was Orgal’s contractor.

‘What do you know?’

Tiring.

[Skill Apocalypse (S) has been activated. Specify the target. The consumption of magic power has accelerated.]

Huaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?

Darkness fell over the area.

And the moment when all kinds of skills are aimed at the man.

“Didn’t I say it was useless?”

Another black hole was created in thin air.

Quaaaaaaaaa.

Three black holes swallowed the darkness.

[Skill Apocalypse (S) has been unlocked. Cannot be reused. Cool time: 22 hours 7 seconds.]

The darkness disappeared in an instant.

and.

“This guy…”

“Hmm…”

The red eyes of the two embarrassed men met.

Taehyun was nowhere to be seen.
