Regressing with the King’s Power - Chapter 201
Episode 201
In the world of images, the measure of strength is mental strength, and the person who can exert the greatest power is the owner of that world.
In that respect, another Taehyun.
It was no exaggeration to say that doppelgangers were the best in the world of imagination.
That was the reason why Taehyun couldn’t beat him in the world of images.
Even though I was trapped again.
As Taehyun grows rapidly, the magic flowing into the world of images is also incomparable to before.
In the world of imagination, it is not strange to call oneself a king.
It was no different from having Vampire Lord Igmun right in front of me.
[Amazing.]
Igmun muttered calmly.
Even though it is an alter ego, it is a power that has no rival except the Archduke.
It would be strange not to be interested in a being that can easily block such power.
[You guy. Is it a device to protect the key?]
Igmun asked once again.
However, the answer that came back from the doppelganger was unexpected.
“The tongue is long.”
[Ha.]
Igmun laughed.
It’s an arrogant attitude that is just as arrogant as one’s own.
The only person who could show such an attitude in front of the Archduke was the same Archduke.
so.
[I’ll check. Are you worthy of your status?] Blood-
red magical power welled up from Igmun’s body once again.
[Blood Field.]
Hwaaaaaaa.
The surroundings instantly turned into a blood-red world, as if it had been painted with paint.
Taehyun’s eyes twitched.
This is because he noticed that his world was being eroded.
The image world itself is a field.
Should I add a new field to that place?
It was an eccentric feat that could not have been accomplished unless it was a monster of the Archduke’s level.
“This is ridiculous.”
Quaaaaaaaaa.
Dark red magical power also bloomed from Taehyun’s body.
and.
Hwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
‘Apocalypse’ unfolded above the magical power overlaid by Igmun.
Pajik. Fazizik.
When the two areas touched, sparks flew out everywhere.
It seemed like a push-pull pattern was going on, and the world of images was divided into two areas.
Igmun’s ‘Blood Field’ and Doppelganger’s ‘Apocalypse’.
Up Down Left Right.
The areas each person dominated began to encroach on the other areas.
It was Igmun who took action first.
With a gesture, hundreds of blood swords were created in the air.
“Hoo.”
Taehyun gave a small exclamation.
It’s not just about the number.
Each one was of such a size that it would be embarrassing to even call it a great sword.
The magical power contained in each great sword could also be said to be the season of SS-rank monsters.
Even though I am facing such a blood sword.
The corners of Taehyun’s mouth rose.
Taehyun waved his hand like Igumoon did.
Sssssssut.
Likewise, hundreds of black swords were created in Taehyeon’s field.
It was natural that each one contained magical power comparable to Igmun’s.
[Hoo.]
This time, Igmun gave a small exclamation.
I knew it right away.
The black sword in front of me was not an original technique, but was copied from a blood sword.
Even the number was the same.
It is provoking.
The Grand Duke himself.
Himself called the master of blood.
[I’ll join you if you want.]
Igmun nodded.
It was like watching cavalry advance.
The blood sword slowly moved towards the doppelganger.
The same was true for the black sword.
The field became quiet.
And when the blood sword and the black sword that were at the forefront collided.
The space shook with the explosion.
Such explosions occurred in succession.
The world of images was shaken like never before.
“It is an appropriate technique for a prelude.”
Beyond the explosion, Taehyun smiled darkly and said.
Sigh.
Igmun snapped his fingers.
This time, a blood sword large enough to fill the red sky was created.
Each one was as big as a castle pillar.
It goes without saying that the magical power it contains has increased.
If those many things fall, the leadership of the world of images will be shaken.
[Are you ready?]
Igmun smiled darkly and was about to give the order to fall.
“You can’t do that.”
Sigh.
Taehyun snapped his fingers.
Coo coo coo coo coo.
The mental world began to shake.
Damn. Damn it. So so so so so.
The land, which was like a desert, was divided.
[….]
It wasn’t just the earth that was splitting apart.
The red sky split and cracks began to form in the quivering space.
[You guy….]
Igumoon blurted out his words as if he was dumbfounded.
Taehyun Kim.
No, that unknown guy is destroying the world of images on his own.
The collapse of the world of images leads to the extinction of the ego.
[You guy. Are you planning to die together?]
Igmun clicked his tongue as he said that.
The plan was to take over the image world and control Kim Tae-hyun’s body.
But what if your thoughts disappear along with space?
In the end, there is no other choice but to send a separate subordinate.
However, what the doppelganger was aiming for was not something like Donggwijin.
“Am I with you? “You’re thinking too much.”
The doppelganger smiled darkly and gathered magical power.
It’s not just apocalypse.
The magical power of predation overflowed from every corner of the imaginary world.
Before I knew it, Igmun’s Blood Field, which had been maintaining its peak, had been reduced by one-third.
It goes without saying that the momentum of the blood test has decreased.
In inverse proportion to that, the energy emanating from Taehyun’s body was becoming more and more powerful.
All the magic power of the world of images is concentrated in the body.
[Ha.]
Igmun, who was watching, laughed.
I caused the world of imagination to run wild and gathered its power into my body.
It was a technique that no matter how great the Duke was, he could not do it without the main body.
That also means that his alter ego, Igmun, cannot be stopped.
Even if we had to fight further, the outcome was obvious.
[Why is someone of your size sleeping here?]
“I don’t know.”
Taehyun said that and clenched his fists.
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
As if responding to will.
The magic that flowed from his body hit Igmun like a tidal wave.
As if a tsunami was breaking the dam.
The Blood Field was easily destroyed.
Ugh.
Igmun’s body was surrounded by the maw of devouring.
“Give up your magic power and get out.”
[Huh… I guess I was hasty. I never thought there would be a guy like you at the key.]
Igmun’s expression was smiling as he said that.
It was not the face of someone who was being preyed upon.
[Let’s see again.]
That’s the last thing I said.
Kwasik.
Igmun’s face was eaten.
Quad deuk. Quad deuk.
Soon, the magical power of predation engulfed my entire body.
* * *
Whoosh.
Taehyun vomited blood.
Following ‘Apocalypse’, his physical abilities have been raised to the limit through ‘Blood Rush’.
In that state, I overused many skills.
All of the wounds were regenerated with a ‘blood rush’, but the problem was mental strength.
Even though his overall stats have improved, it was a miracle that he survived until now.
“Ugh.”
Taehyun groaned and drank the magic potion.
The magic power was being depleted.
‘That guy…’
Even without seeing what was happening in the world of images, I could fully expect it.
Overuse of skills was expected.
The problem is that the speed of recovery is not keeping up with the speed of consumption.
‘If this continues, I won’t be able to last even 30 seconds.’
In the meantime, I had to get out of here.
If you faint in Igmun’s realm, it will be difficult to avoid death.
It was when Taehyun tried to force his body, which was not moving properly, to move.
Wow.
Suddenly, Igmun’s hand grabbed Taehyun’s shoulder and stopped him.
“…!!”
Taehyun, surprised, raised his hand to shake it off.
No, I tried to shake it off.
“Ugh…”
My body didn’t move.
Igmun’s red eyes were squeezing Taehyun’s body.
[It was truly an interesting experience.]
Blood flowed from Igmun’s mouth as he said that.
No, not just from the mouth.
Grumbling.
Igmun’s body was melting.
Just like when he first appeared, his body was bleeding.
‘This guy can’t believe it…’
Only then did Taehyun understand the situation and stared at Igumoon, who was left with only his upper body remaining.
[Hehe. See you next time at my castle.]
Those were the last words.
Igmun’s body completely melted.
What seemed like a mountain just a moment ago disappeared in an instant.
dump.
Taehyun sat down due to the feeling of helplessness that came later.
At the same time, multiple message windows appeared.
Tiring.
[You have feasted on a part of a huge being.]
[Strength increases by 20.]
[Stamina increases by 20.]
[Speed increases by 10.]
[Magic power increases by 15.]
[General skill Blood Rush (S) The magic power of the summoning skill Igmun (S) has been readjusted.]
“
Ha… ha…”
Even though it is a clone, it can prey on the Archduke.
Once again, I realized the existence of the doppelganger.
Taehyun stumbled and got up.
‘I don’t know where Igmun’s men will attack again.’
I had to get out of here first.
Taehyun’s expression as he left the Temple of Blood wasn’t bad.
* * *
“80% of the identified Saechullian believers have been quarantined and detained. 30% of them turned out to be mines.”
“30%… That’s a huge number.”
Ji Jin-hee said with a stern expression upon Ko Tae-wook’s report.
“What happened to those guys?”
Go Tae-wook immediately understood that the people Jin-hee Ji was talking about were the masterminds of this incident.
Min Dae-hee, the leader of the Saechullian cult.
The shadow of the Triad Samrodu.
And Min Ji-hong, the leader of the malicious guild.
“We are currently pursuing the shadow together with the cult leader Min Dae-hee. “I’m using anti-warp skills, so I’ll be able to corner you soon.”
“The guild leader of the malicious guild?”
As a result of torturing the remnants, I quickly learned that the guild leader of the malicious guild was not Shadow, but Min Ji-hong.
Since it was confirmed that there were remnants of the Triad and Malicious Guild behind the New Cheollian, I thought they would reveal themselves if they were cornered.
All that was revealed so far was only a shadow.
“It’s still a mystery.”
“I see… I guess the only thing I can trust is the development of a vaccine.”
“The Alchemist is trying hard, but… “They say it’s not effective yet.”
“If necessary, use government ties to provide support.”
“All right.”
“Have you heard from Taehyun yet?”
Ji Jin-hee asked, unable to erase her worried expression.
A considerable amount of time has passed since Taehyun left for the Abyss without participating in the subjugation of Saechullian.
I didn’t expect something to happen to someone of that level of skill, but that didn’t mean I wasn’t worried.
“It is said that it was not found even in the deep safety zone.”
“I see…”
It was when Ji Jin-hee sighed in regret.
The door to the association president’s office opened and an association employee came in.
“President of the Association!! “This is a report that the Saechullian cult leader has been cornered!!”
“What about the shadow?!!”
“It appears that the shadow is also present.”
Shadow’s skills, as judged by the existing association, were at the level of an S-class advanced player.
However, the skills he displayed while escaping were beyond imagination.
He had been upgraded to the highest S grade, which was the level of national power level players in the past.
Currently, there were not many people in New Korea who could compete with that level of power.
The subordinate continued the report.
“Currently, player Park Seong-jin, Kwon Kang-hyuk, guild leader Kwak Si-yang, and guild leader Kwak Si-yang are leading the lead troops and gathering at the scene.”
“Good.”
It is no exaggeration to say that they are the greatest force of the new Korea.
Ji Jin-hee placed her hand on Go Tae-wook’s shoulder.
“From now on, you are the temporary president of the association.”
It was a plan that had already been discussed in advance.
“Please take care of yourself.”
“egg plant.”
Ji Jin-hee nodded and left the association president’s office with her subordinate.
Ko Tae-wook bowed his head and sent Ji Jin-hee off.
