Regressing with the King’s Power - Chapter 238
Episode 238
Purple magic and blood red magic collided once again.
‘Ugh…’
Taehyun moaned softly.
Taehyun is said to be the best among players.
His limbs were flying just as the magic waves collided with him.
However, if what creates the magic wave is large-scale supply, the story is different.
Just like the castles of Rosaria and Orgal.
The strength of the two archdukes collided and the castle was already significantly damaged.
‘Should I be surprised?’
Taehyun regenerated his flying limbs and watched the movements of the two archdukes.
Even though a situation like this has been created, no damage is suffered.
The castle’s owner, Beelzebub, is also amazing.
‘This guy Igmun can’t even be compared to before.’
It was completely different from the imperfect images seen in Hong Kong or the Temple of Blood.
This time, it was not like an alter ego, but because he was summoned with a significant portion of his power.
Of course, it was difficult to say that it was the real body, so it was slightly pushed back by Beelzebub.
‘Does it feel like a shrimp caught in a whale fight?’
Taehyun thought so and completely regenerated his body.
Purple magic force forcibly injected by Beelzebub.
Is it because I have adapted to that poisonous magic power?
The poison that had been coursing through my body had completely disappeared.
No, on the contrary, because my stats have increased, I feel like my body has become stronger than when I first came here.
Even with a body like that, the only thing I could do was stay away and try to regenerate my body.
‘The important thing now is to maintain Igmun’s summoning.’
Just like I did when I first summoned Rosaria.
My head felt like it was going to explode.
Unlike Rosaria, who has officially signed a contract, summoning Igmun is still a heavy burden on the caster.
Rather than participating in battle clumsily, it was better to observe and check the timing for exit.
‘We must leave this place as soon as our purpose is achieved.’
Otherwise, you’ll get caught up in a fight between Beelzebub and Igmun.
I’ll be obsessed with the winner of the two.
Either way, it was not a good situation for Taehyun.
Kwaang!!
Once again, the magical powers of the two archdukes collided.
Beelzebub used magical power to bring Taehyun, who was rolling his head, back to his side, and Igmun’s blood-red magic power repelled that power.
[You vampire… have you decided to become a minion’s henchman?!]
Beelzebub shouted, annoyed by the constant interruptions.
[It’s none of your concern. King of bugs.]
Igmun grinned and countered.
Like other archdukes.
Beelzebub and Igmun were not close friends either.
On the contrary, Beelzebub, who was a prominent figure among the archdukes, did not like the newly crowned archduke Igmun Rosaria Orgal Jormungand.
‘It’s just as Rosaria said.’
This guy is Lucifer, who surrendered to the king and survived.
And with the exception of Hazard, who ruled the dragon tribe in place of Baal’s departure, they were in a hostile relationship.
‘Okay, fight like a dog, Igmun.’
The corners of Taehyun’s mouth rose.
I expected that Igmun would not move as expected.
Likewise, he won’t leave Beelzebub alone.
Although the process was a bit off, it ultimately went as planned.
one thing.
The ultimate goal of coming here.
Except that the potion bottle containing ‘Belzebub’s blood’ was lost.
‘Variables are painful.’
The infinite backpack melted while being attacked by Beelzebub.
The same goes for the contents inside.
From now on, the recovery of magic power and stamina depended entirely on Taehyun’s control.
‘We must take advantage of the opportunity to replenish our magic power through energy drain… and draw out Beelzebub’s blood once again. Otherwise, it makes sense to take care of at least a body part.’
Easier said than done.
Participating in this chaos and achieving one’s goal is tantamount to sacrificing one’s life.
At that time, Taehyun, who had strengthened his ‘eyes of a higher species’, was waiting for an opportunity.
Suddenly, Ig-moon turned around and looked at Tae-hyeon.
There was a wry smile on his lips.
[It’s obvious what you’re thinking.]
Aaaah.
Igmun snaps his fingers.
Puff poop.
“…!!”
A blood sword was stuck in Taehyun’s limbs.
It happened at a speed that I didn’t even realize.
[The key is to play along, but wait patiently for action.]
Igmun, who emphasized that he was in control of the situation, faced Beelzebub again.
‘Damn it…’
Taehyun cursed inwardly.
I could feel the magical power escaping through the blood sword stuck in my head, as if I was being caught in a ‘chain of restraint.’
If things continued like this, even if a gap appeared, there would be no magic power left to use the skill.
Quang.
An explosion occurred in the area once again.
Beelzebub’s body was torn to pieces, as if Igmun had used some kind of technique.
When I raised my head, Igmun was already approaching me.
[Because you summoned me with the power of the king. It would be difficult to act as if you were my contractor.]
As Igmun said those words, magical power gathered at his fingertips.
Giiiing.
A blood test in the shape of a cross was made.
I knew it instinctively.
‘If you get hit, it’s over.’
You won’t die because you’re using ‘Blood Rush’.
‘Escape is also through water.’
You have to avoid that attack at all costs.
With that thought in mind, Taehyun moved his body.
But all he could do was toss and turn because of the blood sword stuck in his limbs.
Chi profit.
This is the moment when a red cross is about to be engraved on Taehyun’s forehead.
Phew.
Beelzebub’s claws extended from a distance and pierced Igmun’s chest.
The cross that seemed ready to be engraved on my forehead quickly disappeared.
[A lump of blood. You’re being picky in my castle without even knowing the topic.]
Puhwaak.
The magic power that emanated from Beelzebub’s hand enveloped Igmun’s body.
[…!!]
Igmun’s pale skin turned purple.
It is poisoning the Archduke.
Igmun also did not sit still.
Phew.
Igmun’s claws pierced Beelzebub’s chest.
[The key is mine. King of bugs.]
Pazuzuzuzu.
The bloody magic that emanated from Igmun’s body began to absorb Beelzebub’s magic.
Poison and absorption.
Watching the two powers engage in a tense battle.
‘You bastards. It would have been better if it had been like that a long time ago.’
The corners of Taehyun’s mouth rose slightly.
From now on, it would be a race against time.
* * *
Rosaria is not summoned in Beelzebub’s castle.
That was a prerequisite that Taehyun had already envisioned in his mind from the moment he thought of visiting Beelzebub.
He heard about Beelzebub’s trauma and became stronger by obtaining Ataraxia.
Taehyun knew that he wouldn’t be able to fight Beelzebub with that alone.
This is because we have already known after a few encounters that trivial tricks will not work.
I looked at the status window several times.
And found it.
The summoning skill ‘Igmun’, whose magic power has been reduced to a critical point.
In the Temple of Blood, Taehyun preyed on Bloodia and the doppelganger preyed on Igmun’s alter ego.
Thanks to this, the magic power was greatly reduced, and the magic power stat, which had been gradually accumulating, had already met the conditions for summoning Igmun.
‘Though it’s a bit scary considering how much magic power is maintained.’
It also seemed like something could be done by making good use of ‘Apocalypse’, ‘Blood Rush’, and ‘Energy Drain’.
And with a certain amount of variables and expectations mixed in, Taehyun succeeded in drawing the picture he was drawing believably.
Kugugoogung!!
Kwaang!!!
Igmun and Beelzebub, the two princes who once attempted on his life.
They were now threatening each other’s lives.
Rosaria’s comment about the power of the princes came to mind a while ago.
[Powers of the same type as Beelzebub and Orgal do not have a good compatibility with Igmun. This is why it is difficult to guarantee victory or defeat even if you compete with all of the great dukes compared to the military power that Igumun possesses.]
However, this only applies when both sides are of equal strength.
This is Beelzebub’s castle where he can demonstrate his best power.
The Demon King was spitting out venom as if he was going to chew up Igmun at any moment.
It is a poison so terrible that even Taehyun’s body, who is far away, melts.
It was surprising that Igmun did not die even though he took the attack directly into his body.
Igmun was fighting back by absorbing Beelzebub’s magic power, but surprisingly, Beelzebub’s magic power showed no end.
At this rate, it looked like Beelzebub’s miasma would melt his entire body before absorbing his magic power and regenerating his body.
Poseok.
“…!!”
I looked at Taehyun’s body.
Two of the four blood swords that were embedded were missing.
This is proof that Igmun has no power.
‘It’s difficult when the balance is broken.’
If Igmun disappears, it is as clear as day who will be targeted next.
Poseok. Poseok.
Soon, all the blood swords stuck in his body disappeared.
Quad deuk. Quad deuk.
Taehyun’s body began to regenerate at high speed.
Before I knew it, all of the magic that had been filled with Beelzebub was gone.
It was filled with Igmun’s blood magic power.
* * *
[Did you think you could beat me with such a clumsy body?]
Squeak. Squeak. Squeak.
Beelzebub, who had won, let out a bizarre laugh.
[Thank goodness this is your castle.]
Igmun laughed as if he didn’t like it.
Before he knew it, half of his blonde hair had turned purple.
Each Grand Duke’s castle is equipped with provisions to maximize the power of the main body.
In that respect, the miasma scattered throughout Beelzebub’s castle.
The poisonous magic power was giving Igmun an unpleasant shock just by touching it.
[If I kill you here, you won’t die. That looks pretty good. Wait. My army will soon invade your castle. It’s been a while since there will be an empty seat for the Grand Duke.]
Beelzebub said with a chuckle.
Igmun’s face distorted.
As he said, if he died here, he would not disappear, but it was not without risk.
What if the main body left in the castle becomes weak and Beelzebub decides to attack?
In the worst case scenario, I might end up in a life-or-death battle.
[Leaving only the head to decorate…]
This is when Beelzebub is about to rip off the head with his final mockery.
Phew.
Something came out of Beelzebub’s chest.
[…?]
[….]
The two Grand Dukes expressed doubts about the sudden situation.
Taehyun was the one who broke the mood.
“I told you, Igmun. “Let’s join hands with me.”
Tiring.
[Skill Energy Drain (S) has been activated. Specifies the target.]
[Skill Energy Drain (S) has been strengthened. Magic consumption is accelerated.]
[Skill Energy Compose (S) has been activated.]
[Skill Energy Compose (S) has been strengthened. Magic power consumption accelerates.]
Quaaaaa.
A magic bullet that absorbed Beelzebub’s magic and instantly grew in size.
Kwaaaang!!!
Just like that, he hit Beelzebub in the back.
Although it was used in a hurry, it is as powerful as the season of an SSS grade monster.
Even such attacks did nothing to shake Beelzebub’s body.
However, it was also an opportunity where Igmun had nothing better to do.
Quad deuk.
Igmun’s hand, strengthened by blood-red magic, tore off Beelzebub’s arm that was piercing his chest.
Not to be outdone, Beelzebub also tears off Igmun’s arm that is piercing him.
In an instant, two arms fell to the floor.
The two archdukes widened their distance and began playing at high speed.
[You guy. It’s not useless.]
Quaddeuk.
After saying that, Igmun expelled poison from his body.
The scent of blood stung my nose as the blood-red magic power burned the miasma.
“Because it will create a gap. “Take a big hit.”
Quaaaaaaaaa.
Dark red magical energy bloomed from Taehyun’s body.
He had already recovered enough mana by absorbing Beelzebub’s mana for a short period of time.
It is an added bonus that while the two were fighting, the magic of Beelzebub surrounding the castle weakened.
Tiring.
[Unique skill Predation (SS) has been activated. Specify the target.]
Oh my.
The magic of devouring consumed Beelzebub.
[How dare you!!!]
Toward Beelzebub, who is furious.
A huge blood sword created by Igmun.
The cross that judges the devil was put down.
