Regressing with the King’s Power - Chapter 251
Episode 251:
New Korea Players Association. Association President’s Office.
Five people were sitting there.
They were Ji Jin-hee, Go Tae-wook, Park Seong-jin, Kwon Kang-hyuk, and Kwak Si-yang.
A considerable amount of time has passed since Ji Jin-hee returned to active duty.
From then on, Ji Jin-hee maintained a closer cooperation system with the four major guilds.
The same was true for information sharing like now.
“I will meet with Guild Leader Seo Sang-ik and Vice-Guild Leader Jeong Han-su separately.”
“There are a lot of hardships.”
Ji Jin-hee nodded and responded to Go Tae-wook’s words.
Seo Sang-ik was busy creating a vaccine for gray diseases, and Jeong Han-su seemed to be busy running the guild on Yoo Ah-young’s behalf.
Of the four major guilds, only Onsaemiro and Magicians’ guild leaders Kwon Kang-hyuk and Kwak Si-yang can barely spare the time.
“Oh, I’m busy too. Why do you keep calling me to come and go?”
Kwon Kang-hyuk grunted in his characteristic grumpy manner.
Ji Jin-hee laughed at that sight.
“Don’t lie. “Didn’t you come here first because you wanted to meet Taehyun?”
“….”
Kwon Kang-hyuk was shocked by Ji Jin-hee’s words, who clearly read his thoughts.
Even while the world is in turmoil, Taehyun always comes and goes.
I can’t tell you how surprised I was when I heard that I had entered the deepest level alone this time.
As soon as Taehyun returned from the Abyss, he trampled Yoo Ah-young and the saint.
And now there are a lot of rumors that he is spending most of his time at the association and running around Lim Ah-young.
No, this was also past tense.
After handing Lim Ah-young over to the intensive care unit, he disappeared again.
‘Fuck… I want to be rolled too.’
As Ji Jin-hee said, the meeting was called for a good reason for Kwon Kang-hyuk, who was excited.
However, his pride did not allow him to accept it easily.
“joy!! “There is a strange rumor going around the association. Is it true?!!”
Kwon Kang-hyuk dragged Tae-hyun in to change the topic.
A rumor that recently started in the Players’ Association and reached the ears of the general public.
Taehyun Kim and Yoo Ahyoung.
Taehyun Kim and Ayoung Lim.
Kim Tae-hyun and a saint.
I was asking about that strange relationship.
Ji Jin-hee couldn’t have known about that rumor.
“Hmm… I heard it too.”
“So, my brother really
killed those three people…? ”
Kwon Kang-hyuk could not bear to continue talking.
Even though Lim Ah-young is like that, she knows the skills of Yoo Ah-young and Seongnyeo well.
“That’s right. I don’t know what the saint is like, but guild leader Yoo Ah-young and player Lim A-young are both receiving treatment in the intensive care unit. “If it were a slander… it would be a slander.”
gulp.
The sound of Ji Jin-hee swallowing dryly was heard.
This is because I cannot understand the true meaning of the action.
It was Kwak Si-yang who broke the mood.
“I’m sure Taehyun Kim didn’t do that without thinking.”
“I guess so. “He’s always a few moves ahead.”
Seongjin Park calmly accepted the words.
He was one of the few people who truly recognized Taehyeon’s insight.
“This is not a child who would do anything that would be harmful to the new Korea.”
It was the same for Go Tae-wook.
“okay. “It won’t be too late to hear that directly from Taehyun later.”
Ji Jin-hee was no different.
‘What are you thinking?’
‘I’ll tell you later.’
With that thought in mind, I was in a natural mood.
‘Everyone is so pretentious.’
Ji Jin-hee grunted and shook her body.
Everyone here, except for Go Tae-wook, a non-combat player, clearly overcame the wall in the process of capturing Hydra Fenrir.
S-rank top player.
A state that was called the national power level and the strongest.
Of course, Seongjin Park and Siyang Kwak, who have grown up with him since his rookie days.
This is an area that even Ji Jin-hee, who was called the strongest player in New Korea, could not reach.
Just by becoming entangled with Taehyun, the four of them conquered that level at the same time.
Desire for growth.
Desire for learning.
In fact, all four of us have similar feelings about wanting to be with Taehyun.
‘Everyone was anxious to hang out with Taehyun.’
Only Ko Tae-wook, an observer, could see the current heat rationally.
‘Taehyun, that guy. If you do something wrong, you might have to be held captive all day.’
That’s what Go Tae-wook thought as he saw Park Seong-jin with shining eyes and Kwon Kang-hyuk even snorting.
Of course, they all didn’t know that Taehyun had anticipated this and was avoiding them.
‘Well, we can’t tie it to the association forever.’
Even when sparring with Lim Ah-young, Tae-hyeon set up a curtain and forbid anyone to approach.
Not long ago, she came to see the saint personally for her work, and now that Yoo Ah-young and Im Ah-young are being treated side by side in the intensive care unit, their whereabouts are unknown again.
“Hmm.”
The second person to break the silence was Ji Jin-hee.
“I’m sorry for keeping you busy, but it’s an important time, so please understand.”
Important time.
There was no one who did not know its meaning.
Following the shadow, Min Ji-hong and Kasim Jort were allowed to invade the association.
A country that cannot handle mine.
No matter how many associations in the world could properly prevent the invasion of two SS-ranked demons, whatever the reason, it was true that trust in New Korea players was significantly damaged.
“Three times will never work.”
Ji Jin-hee said in a stern tone.
“I heard that they are setting up a gate zone where high-ranking guilds in New Korea can immediately apply.”
Kwak Si-yang mentioned the association’s new defense system.
“That alone has its limits. “Kasim Zort… he probably won’t be able to deal with even if all five of us here attack him.”
That was Ji Jin-hee’s impression after dealing with him in person.
“So, aren’t you saying you want to meet your younger brother and have a hot relationship? From what I heard, it seems like Yoo Ah-young also reawakened after mingling with Kassim Zort.”
Growth type or not.
In order to overcome a wall, you need not only effort but also sufficient experience.
The experience is qualitative, not quantitative.
In other words, it was a battle against the strong.
And Taehyun was the only strong person in the new Korea who could teach them.
If they had similar strength and were training, they would fight each other.
‘It’s something that could easily allow demons to invade again.’
“There are limits to relying on Taehyun.”
“Then what do you want to do?”
Kwon Kang-hyuk asked back bluntly at Go Tae-wook, who was thinking similarly.
“We are planning a defense system that can be used even when Taehyun is not around.”
“Has the president of the association finally made a decision?”
Park Seong-jin, who had been quiet the whole time, asked as if he had a guess.
Go Tae-wook nodded.
“I decided to get help from a saint. “Unlike paying significant compensation and compensation like now, this is a condition that our association can use whenever it wants.”
It was nonsense.
The saint’s ‘ultra-fast regeneration’ is a blessed ability that no one else has.
Does this mean that the association can use the help of such a person without compensation and whenever it wants?
“It’s Japan… I thought the president of the association would be against it until the end?”
“joy. “I guess it’s no longer time to be stubborn.”
“Hmm…”
Ji Jin-hee was silent at the reactions of Kwak Si-yang and Kwon Kang-hyuk.
This is because the conditions mentioned by Go Tae-wook were not delivered by him, but by Tae-hyeon.
“It went well. If it’s her skill ‘ultra-fast regeneration’, it might be worth a try. What is the price? “To receive power like hers, you would have to pay a considerable price.”
Kwak Si-yang asked without much thought.
“Ten B-grade players depending on the time of year. Five Grade A players. And we decided to support one S-rank player. And, if necessary, support from Taehyun Kim.”
“It’s an obvious deal.”
“joy. “It’s an obvious trick.”
“Well, it’s not a bad deal.”
Everyone had a similar reaction.
Because they know it too.
Support from Grade B, Grade A, and Grade S players depending on the period.
That’s just an excuse for show.
Actually, he is ranked number 1 in the world player rankings.
It was probably to show off that Kim Tae-hyun was behind them.
“Taehyun has already agreed to this.”
Go Tae-wook recalled Tae-hyun’s appearance as he had informed him a few days ago.
He returned from the deepest level of the Abyss and provided key support in the production of a vaccine, and as if that was not enough, he went to Japan and made a secret pact with a saint.
It was as if he was predicting how things would turn out in the future, and it was something only a seasoned politician would do.
“Of course, when I meet Taehyun, I plan to tell him about the training of S-rank players.”
“yes!!”
Kwon Kang-hyuk shouted without realizing it.
This would be the first time in nearly 10 years that I agreed so much with Ji Ji-hee’s words.
“Alchemist says progress is being made in vaccine development. “I think we will be able to achieve significant results in about a month.”
“Is the counterattack finally beginning?”
Seongjin Park muttered while stroking the Raseonchilji.
As I watched the demons install the gray disease, it accumulated quite a bit.
“Until a vaccine is developed, the New Korea Players Association and Alchemist buildings must be protected as the most important facilities.”
Afterwards, Ji Jin-hee was giving detailed instructions.
Kugugoogung.
Suddenly the building began to shake.
“This power….”
“…!!”
“SS grade…?”
“….”
“Fuck!!”
With various reactions, the five players got up from their seats.
It instinctively reminded me of the Har-Sultan terror attack.
There was no shaking like this even when Taehyun was beating Lim Ah-young in the training room not long ago.
‘It’s probably a re-attack by Kassim Zort.’
That’s when I was thinking about it.
Kugugoogung!!
A wave stronger than before shook the building.
Just then, the secretary who had been waiting outside came in.
“What happened?!!”
Ji Jin-hee asked loudly.
“It is said to be a magic wave that appears while player Taehyun Kim is merging skills.”
The secretary answered, unable to contain his embarrassment.
“what?”
“Skill fusion…?”
“Then…” “So
you’re saying it’s not magic release…?”
In the words of the secretary.
New Korea’s top players were speechless.
* * *
“Uhm….”
Bang Chae-soo lost consciousness for a moment.
He came to his senses as the potion entered his mouth.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
Taehyun said, alternately pouring fatigue potion and healing potion.
“Fusion is…?”
Bang Chae-soo asked about skill fusion.
There were four fused skills.
Although it was less than before, it took a whopping twenty hours.
This also meant that each skill had outstanding abilities and that the newly created skills were unusual.
“Can you confirm?”
Bang Chae-soo asked in a trembling voice.
“Of course.”
Taehyun opened the status window.

‘Energy Compose’ and ‘Energy Drain’ were fused to become the ‘Heart of a Higher Species’.
The ‘Apostle of Darkness’ and ‘Portal’ were fused to become the ‘Apostle of the Gate’.
The stats rose slightly to bear the weight of the two skills, and the summoning skill was the same as before.
‘Apostle of the gate to the heart of a higher species.’
Even the name is unusual.
“You look like you want to use the skill right away.”
“this. “Have you been caught?”
“Isn’t it obvious? Let’s go. “It won’t be long before people from the association start flocking in.”
The magic wave felt a moment ago when Taehyun’s skill fusion was completed was definitely unusual.
For top level players, SS+ grade monsters would have seemed to unlock magical power.
I could feel people flocking to Taehyun’s vibe.
“I’m sorry for the inconvenience.”
“Say.”
Taehyun nodded and then disappeared.
The skill ‘Stealth’ was used.
Not long after Taehyun left.
Suddenly.
The door to the lab opened roughly.
“Brother!!”
The huge Kwon Kang-hyuk shouted and lunged forward.
After that, the faces of Ji Jin-hee, Park Seong-jin, Kwak Si-yang, and Go Tae-wook were seen.
“Heh heh. So many unexpected guests…”
“How did this happen?”
Go Tae-wook asked while looking around the lab.
but.
“Would you like some tea?”
That was all Bang Chae-soo had to say.
