Regressing with the King’s Power - Chapter 255

Episode 255

SS grade monsters and SS+ grade monsters are of different rank.

On the other hand, if you can defeat them, you can definitely be said to be an SS-rank player.

When Taehyun heard the news of Fukuoka’s gate break, he thought it was a golden opportunity to increase the number of SS-level players in New Korea.

Just like Yoo Ah-young and Im Ah-young.

The remaining four people.

Ji Jin-hee, Park Seong-jin, Kwon Kang-hyeok, and Kwak Si-yang are also talented players.

If Taehyun provided adequate assistance, it would be a great experience for growth for the four of them.

That thought changed two hours before the association meeting convened by Ji Jin-hee.

It was when I returned from China and met Jeong Han-soo.

Taehyun sensed something strange in Night Walker’s information.

The origin of the gate break is clearly Fukuoka.

However, the magic wave was heading towards New Korea.

“The rate of erosion is incredible. At the current speed… it will take less than a month to reach Busan.”

Jeong Han-soo hinted at the possibility that it could be the first SSS-level gate break.

It was something that had never happened in my previous life.

‘Is it another variable?’

Variables due to regression do not only occur in the Abyss.

Therefore, Taehyun remained calm while listening to Jeong Hansoo’s words.

If there’s one thing that catches me, it’s SSS level monsters.

‘If it’s someone like that, it’s a different story.’

If you go in with mediocre military power, you are likely to end up dead.

That was a fact that Taehyun, who had reached a similar level, knew better than anyone else.

In the end, Taehyun is the only one who can provide support in New Korea.

However, I was worried about the pitfalls on Main’s side if I vacated New Korea.

At the same time, Taehyun was also suspecting that the sudden gate break was the work of Kassim Jort.

‘Guild leader Yoo Ah-young’s power is great, but… it’s not stable.’

Yoo Ah-young, who uses the power of Rosaria, will be enough to deal with Kassim Zort.

But what if Min Ji-hong also joins?

Even if Lim Ah-young, who has reached the SS level, joins.

‘The power is clearly increasing.’

if.

What if there are a few more SS-rank players who can help them?

Even if Min Ji-hong and Kasim Zort attack, a sufficient response is possible.

It was seen that the tilted power pendulum was leveling out.

Grow four people from the top S-level players into SS-level players over the course of a week.

At first glance, it may seem like reckless bravado.

However, Taehyun already has a database named Lim Ah-young.

‘There’s no law saying it’s impossible for these people.’

Of course, from the perspective of the four people who did not know that fact, it was just absurd.

“Brother!! So you’re saying you’ll deal with us for a week?!!”

Kwon Kang-hyuk said in an excited voice.

He was more excited about being able to mix with Taehyun than by being told that he had to become an SS-level player within a week.

“Well, that’s how it happens.”

“Hahaha!! After all, my younger brother is loyal and loyal!!”

“What does this have to do with loyalty? No, rather than that, Kim Tae-hyun… is it possible to achieve that level of growth in just one week?”

Belatedly, Kwak Si-yang asked about realistic possibilities.

“I have experienced it. The difference between the highest grade S and SS grade is one piece of paper. “It’s just that the thickness of that single piece of paper cannot be ignored.”

It was an ambiguous statement.

Because in the end, it is up to the practitioner.

“Taehyun. “We don’t have much time… Are we really going to be able to do this?”

Ji Jin-hee asked again, referring to the realistic situation.

Contrary to his words, those eyes already showed his trust in Taehyun.

“it’s possible. This fact has already been confirmed through player Lim Ah-young.”

“no way…?”

“yes. “Once the treatment is over, she too will be able to be called an SS-rank player.”

“…!!”

“Hoo.”

“What?”

“….”

“Great… growth.”

Each of the five people expressed their emotions through their own reactions.

It was an expected reaction.

‘Well, even if it’s SS grade, the difference is big.’

Just like the S grade, the SS grade can be divided into levels.

If Yoo Ah-young was at the highest SS grade, Lim Ah-young would be at the mid-low SS grade.

If only the people in front of me were as good as Lim Ah-young.

‘The power of the new Korea becomes incredibly strong.’

Just like the other day.

To the extent that they do not allow attacks such as robbing an empty house by Kassim Jort or Min Ji-hong.

“It’s an offer I can’t refuse, no, there’s no reason to refuse.”

Park Seong-jin was the first to express his opinion.

The desire for growth lit a fire in his heart.

The spark is bound to spread.

“I ask you too.”

Following Kwak Si-yang.

“Khaha!! “It’s exciting!!”

Kwon Kang-hyuk shouted.

“Please do me a favor too.”

Ji Jin-hee spoke with a firm voice.

“Then let’s move to our seats right now.”

* * *

Five people, excluding Koh Tae-wook, who went to carry out his duties as president of the association.

Taehyun’s new trainees entered the training room.

It was a place I used with Lim A-young.

“A week from now. “You can’t leave here until I give you permission.”

Before starting full-scale training, Taehyun said as if he had nailed it down.

“haha!! “Closed training is good!!”

Kwon Kang-hyuk shouted happily and laughed.

Due to my personality, I liked this type of training method.

“Not bad.”

“Hehehe. “It’s been a long time since I felt like this.”

The same was true for Park Seong-jin and Ji Jin-hee, who could be said to be martial artists.

“Player Kim Tae-hyun… Is the training conducted in a sparring style?”

Kwak Si-yang asked with a shocked expression.

I had trained like that in the past before forming a team to attack unexplored dungeons.

Taehyun is skilled in close combat as well as controlling the battlefield using magical power.

So, I thought that this time too, the four of us would face one Taehyun.

Taehyun shook his head.

“It’s hard to feel the right pressure that way. “This time it will mostly be a battle with yourself.”

“Hoo… what?”

“I will use my skill to hallucinate. “If you overcome it, you will grow, and if you don’t overcome it, you will have to live in the intensive care unit for the rest of your life.”

“That’s terrible.”

“….”

“…!!”

“That’s…”

The four people’s faces hardened at the unexpected risk.

This is because we know that Taehyun’s hallucination skill has turned numerous demons into pain.

“You weren’t trying to climb over the wall without this much risk, right? For your information, Lim Ah-young took all of that into consideration and responded.”

It was a provocation.

Men and women as young as 20, much younger than you, have done it.

Obvious provocation.

The four of you didn’t know either.

“….”

“Hahahaha.” Okay, okay. “It should be like this.”

“Ha… At times like this, I just envy the guild leader Kwon Kang-hyuk.”

“Uhm… I’m not backing down either.”

The answer was no different from acceptance.

Taehyun gave a friendly smile.

“I thought everyone would do that. Then, everyone, unlock your magic power to its maximum.”

After a while.

The magic of skilled players filled the training room.

‘It’s not bad control.’

Although it was not as overwhelming magical power as Taehyun, it was a power with its own unique characteristics.

It was also satisfying that they didn’t push each other’s magic away.

It was just as Taehyun had figured out.

Ji Jin-hee’s strong yet sturdy magic power.

The rugged yet violent magic of Kwon Kang-hyuk.

Park Seong-jin’s sharp yet delicate magic.

Kwak Si-yang’s precise yet explosive magic power.

‘But this isn’t enough.’

Taehyun unleashed his magic power.

Quaaaaaaaaa.

Dark red magical power instantly engulfed the area.

It was natural that the magical power of the four people would be swallowed up.

‘This is Taehyun’s magic!!’

‘It’s a ridiculous amount.’

‘Has the gap widened this much?’

‘Fuck!!’

Seeing them with their faces hardened for their own reasons.

“I hope everyone has a good time.”

Taehyun used the first skill.

Tiring.

[Skill Ataraxia (SS) has been activated. Specify the target. Magic power consumption accelerates.]

[Output is limited. Output: 5%]

In the rush of dark red magic.

The four people fell into their own world of imagination.

* * *

The core of the training method I practiced with Rosaria was overcoming the battle with myself.

In that respect, ‘Ataraxia’ was the best training support skill for jumping over walls.

Taehyun adjusted the intensity of ‘Ataraxia’ to create virtual enemies for them, and the four players fought against their own enemies.

Kwak Si-yang. Ji Jin-hee. Seongjin Park.

Three people took turns destroying the weakened Ataraxia.

The last to come to his senses was Kwon Kang-hyuk.

“Heo-eok… Heo-eok… Heo-eok…”

About ten hours had passed since I started training.

Kwon Kang-hyuk escaped from the world of images and came to his senses.

Before I knew it, cold sweat was flowing like rain and my body was trembling like an aspen tree.

“Fuck… younger brother… I’ll call you older brother…”

“There’s no need. “Let’s go a little stronger this time.”

Without a break.

Tiring.

[Skill Ataraxia (SS) has been activated. Specify the target. Magic power consumption accelerates.]

[Output is limited. Output: 10%]

Taehyun’s magical power enveloped Kwon Kanghyuk.

“Fuck…!!”

At the same time, Kwon Kang-hyuk’s body began to stiffen again.

Tiring.

[The skill level of Ataraxia (SS) has increased.] A

pleasant message came to mind.

‘It’s not bad after all.’

There was still a lot of time left until the week ended.

* * *

The deepest part of the Abyss.

Grand Duke Rosaria’s castle.

Two beings were facing each other in the queen’s room.

It was Asmodeus who came as a guest with Rosaria, the owner of the castle.

[It is the promised time. I wish I could give you an answer.]

Asmodeus is rated as SSS level by human standards.

He asked, his red eyes shining.

[Has so much time already passed? Time is such a cruel thing.]

Rosaria answered calmly.

[What I want is your answer.]

Asmodeus pressed for an answer.

This is because a considerable amount of time had already been wasted trying to recruit her.

[It is a refusal.]

[….]

Asmodeus’ body shook.

It meant that he was trying to control his anger.

It is common to be rejected by archdukes.

However, the reason he was so angry was because Rosaria was being rude.

He suggested that they join him, mentioning the person behind him, and Rosaria asked him to give him time and urged him to come back.

It was not a bad answer for Asmodeus, who was disappointed with the strength of one archduke.

The result of that waiting is the current situation.

[I had no intention of being together in the first place.]

[Hehehe. Did you get caught?]

Rosaria laughed, waving her tentacles.

[….]

Asmodeus watched quietly.

suddenness.

He burst out laughing.

[Hmm~ Did you lose your mind at the woman’s rejection?]

[Rosaria. Come to think of it, you followed the king more than anyone else. I got the street number wrong from the beginning.]

[This is surprising. Isn’t it the same for you?]

Rosaria’s red eyes narrowed as she looked at Asmodeus.

It was because I sensed the fighting spirit radiating from his body.

[okay. Baal, the king of the upper world. He is the only king to me.]

[I have no intention of insulting your master.]

[Same. I also have no interest in your master. However, that ‘human’ is different.]

Although he is a human, he is a being that is talked about by monsters more than anyone else.

Rosaria did not know that the human Asmodeus was talking about was her contractor.

[Rosaria. While you follow the King of the Lower World, you tend to look down on the power of the King of the Upper World.]

[Put it simply. This is because the main woman does not like riddles.]

[That person is not the only one who has returned.]

Wiggle.

wee.

Rosaria’s red eyes wavered.

[Could it be… you have all your memories intact?]

The mysterious power used by the king.

transmigration. Or regression.

That is a power that even the Archduke, who boasts omnipotent power in the Abyss, cannot avoid.

In case of regression, the only person who can retain the memory is Kim Tae-hyun.

The only reason Rosaria knew that fact was because she peeked into Taehyun’s memories through the power.

For others, their memories of that time would still be incomplete.

However, it was the monster that provided the starting point for regression.

Asmodeus still has all his memories from that time?

Even this is the lower world, not the upper world.

It was a place where Baal’s power could not reach.

[Are you surprised?]

Asmodeus, who thought he had regained control, started shaking.

The fighting spirit emanating from his body became more intense.

[Hmm~ It seems like I’ve definitely succeeded in getting the main girl’s attention.]

Slap. slam.

Rosaria’s tentacles hit the floor.

[I need to take a peek at your memories. Come here.]

Slurp. Sreuk.

A tentacle engulfed in purple magic advanced.

[Rosaria. You are the weakest among the archdukes, right?]

[Ahaha. Do you want to test the power you received from the King of Sanggye? Cheeky kid.]

[Nothing that won’t work.]

Puhwaak.

The fighting spirit emanating from Asmodeus’ body turned into enormous magical power.

Rosaria’s eyes narrowed as the situation went far beyond her expectations.

[I’m sorry I feel like I’m putting my hands on the contractor’s prey.]

Ouch.

One of Rosaria’s tentacles split into dozens of branches.

[Don’t even think about escaping.]

Ouch. Oops.

Dozens of tentacles split into forks.

For a moment, I hope all those tentacles pounce on one prey.

Kwasik!! Kwasik!!

Asmodeus’ body was swallowed by tentacles.
