Regressing with the King’s Power - Chapter 293
Episode 293
: The world of imagery.
It is a world where everyone has at least one, whether humans or monsters.
It is familiar to dream demons with the power of mind control, but ordinary monsters must be of a higher species to be recognized.
For Taehyun, it was a place he had become familiar with since he had been associated with Rosaria’s doppelganger since he was an S-rank player.
A place where he grabbed a doppelganger, a place where he summoned a monster and handed it over to a doppelganger, and a place where training with Rosaria took place.
This is because it was all an image world.
So, for Taehyun, the world of images was a place of struggle.
To defeat someone and grow further, to survive against an opponent that cannot be dealt with.
‘Well, it’s like a double-edged sword.’
A doppelganger entangled in a world of images.
If you are defeated by a guy who looks exactly like Taehyun, you will lose control of your body.
But even taking that risk into account.
‘The overwhelming power of this guy is just as attractive.’
How many monsters have been passed on to him in the world of images so far?
Even though it’s not the real body.
‘The archdukes also couldn’t find a bone in front of him.’
At least in the world of imagination, the doppelganger is stronger than Taehyun.
Taehyun acknowledged and accepted that.
The more I became an SS-rank awakened and used Rosaria’s power more powerfully, the more confident I became.
Before you know it, you too can surpass the limits of your limiter when you enter the world of imagery.
Limiter.
A force so great that the external body cannot yet handle it.
I entered the world of imagery several times and tested its power.
Although my mental strength was severely depleted.
It was definitely enough to use as a secret trick.
In a way, by using Rosaria’s power, he gained a power even more terrifying than her mental control.
How many times did I come in and out?
The doppelganger, who had acted like they were going to fight at first, became quiet.
Taehyun, who had no intention of fighting, immediately jumped out of the mental world as soon as he saw the slightest sign of battle.
Even the Grand Dukes couldn’t get away that way, but Taehyeon was no longer a child that he could control as he pleased.
No, there is nothing you can’t do if you set your mind to it.
Taehyun’s growth is slowed down, which is not good for either of them.
Because of this, the doppelganger quickly lost interest in Taehyun’s visit.
At most, Taehyun played with Muron for a bit when he brought Muron in.
so that.
Even when Taehyun entered the virtual world with the four top species.
The doppelganger had a sour expression.
* * *
A huge castle built under a red sky.
Another Taehyeon on the throne there.
The doppelganger was sitting there.
As Taehyun Kim grows bigger, his power also becomes stronger.
His red eyes were incomparably clearer than before, and even without any control, dark red magic flowed out from within his body.
Just by sitting there, I could get a general idea of what Taehyun was doing outside.
With that alone, there was no time to be bored.
Taehyun Kim.
This is because everything that the owner of this body does attracts attention.
Although Taehyun didn’t know.
The reason why doppelgängers have become quiet recently is for a similar reason.
[Interesting guy.]
Taehyun is no longer an ordinary human being.
The S-class level established by humans in the past.
If it were still at a level worse than that of an insect, the death outside would have led to the death of the world of images.
But not now.
I awakened the power of the highest species and obtained the power of the highest species.
By steadily adapting that useful power, I obtained a transcendent body.
[I don’t mind dying.]
Now the meaning of his death is different than before.
If the outer bowl breaks.
At the same time, you will be encroaching on that body.
That’s why I didn’t bother to interfere even when Taehyun was in a dangerous situation sometimes.
Rather than needlessly interfering and prolonging his life.
I wanted to see Taehyun struggle more.
I don’t know when he will truly die.
[I can’t live up to my name if I go on a rampage like I do now.]
I was planning on watching over him quietly until then.
At that moment, I felt Taehyun, who had entered the world of imagery, unleash his magic power.
I couldn’t look outside for a moment because I was thinking about something else.
Just looking at the flow of magical power, it looked like a battle had taken place outside.
[Tsk. Are they now bringing those guys here too?]
The doppelganger shook his head as if it was pitiful.
Compared to before, he has become incredibly stronger.
I can’t believe he’s still begging those guys.
It seemed like there was a long way to go before dealing with the Archduke.
[It would be better for me to go out myself.]
But there is no way he would allow that.
As Kim Tae-hyun grows, his strength also becomes more perfect.
At the same time, mental strength is also growing.
Although Taehyun, the person involved, did not know.
As it happens, the Grand Duke who made the contract was Rosaria, and the magical power she imprinted in the oath of summoning was preventing Taehyun from going wild easily.
This was a measure taken after recognizing the doppelgänger that was present in the world like a ghost.
[So, deal with guys like that outside.]
The doppelganger said as if it was annoying and went back to sleep.
* * *
Taehyun smiled at the magic he felt in his body.
After successfully taking control of the world of imagery.
It was the second time after Erebos that a monster was attracted.
I looked at every aspect.
Ogre King Gort.
Troll King Berthe.
Wolf King Wolvern.
Nodrak, the greatest warrior of the Gnoll tribe.
Gort and Berth were Erebos-class people who used one power.
Ulvern was about Aether and Nodrak was about Muron.
[Could it be that they used mind control on all of us?]
[This is outrageous.]
[They would do something like this now…]
[Don’t act rashly. [He’s like a rat who doesn’t know what tricks he might be hiding.]
Gort, who was the first to understand the situation, said that.
“What a rat. “That’s harsh.”
Taehyun grinned, feeling all the magic in his body restored.
“Let me tell you one thing. “This is a place where mental strength determines the outcome.”
If the outside world is a contest between the body and magic power, the world of images is a place where existence is proven through mental power.
[Catching Rosaria. There is no reason to be afraid of being caught by a contractor or something like that.]
[It won’t even buy you a little time.]
[Clark. They look at us as funny as Colon.]
[….]
These are the guys who let their guard down just a little while ago and gave Taehyun a chance.
However, rather than being wary of the world of images he was encountering for the first time, he seemed intrigued.
‘As expected, you are arrogant.’
Taehyun thought so and focused his attention on Gort.
He was the only one who didn’t seem to let his guard down and seemed to be concentrating.
“You will find out when something happens. “Who was it that made fun of me?”
Tiring.
[Skill Knight King’s Passion (SS) has been activated.]
Kugugugung.
The sudden force of gravity crushed the four highest species.
It was the first type of aggressive skill that Taehyun mastered.
[Just this much…]
Tiring.
[Skill Lord’s Awesomeness (SS) has been activated.]
Kugugugugu.
[….]
“I guess it’s starting to feel more real now.”
Cooung. Cooung.
Only then did the top species move their bodies.
It meant that he would not let Taehyun attack quietly.
“Not yet.”
Tiring.
[Skill Apocalypse (SS) has been activated.]
Kugugugugugung.
chain. gravity. paralysis. Addicted. Dominance of the five senses.
In addition, the various skills mixed together slowed down the steps of the top species.
Skills that did not work outside were working properly.
“This makes it clear. “I think my mental strength is superior to your mental strength.”
Gort and Bert survived the ‘apocalypse’ and approached Taehyun.
Cooung. Cooung.
Every time they took a step, the world of images seemed to vibrate.
Tiring.
[Skill Dragon’s Rage (SS) has been activated.]
Crrrrr.
[…!!]
[…!!]
Gort and Bert stopped at the weight, which was different from before.
Taehyun looked at that and shook his head.
“I’m disappointed. “This side is still confident in their skills and mental strength.”
[I will kill you.]
[I will chew you up.]
[I dare you to catch Rosaria.]
[This is just a lie.]
Just like it was outside.
The power of strengthening was manifested in their bodies.
As if Taehyun had been waiting, he strengthened his skills.
As the four passions overlapped, the oppressive force became even stronger.
“Let’s have a good time.”
The expressions of the four highest-ranking species hardened.
* * *
How much skill did you use?
How much mental power did you use up?
Taehyun was able to achieve victory against four top-tier players.
“It’s tough.”
The mind was destroyed and high-speed regeneration stopped.
Until then, Taehyun had used hundreds or thousands of skills.
In particular, since Gort held on until the end, Taehyun had no choice but to use up a lot of his mental power.
“He was a tough guy despite his appearance.”
Even though Taehyun said that, he didn’t prey on them right away.
This is because their magic stones must be used to revive Typhon.
Now, the next plan was to go outside the mental world and use the magic stones of those whose minds were destroyed as consumables.
That’s it.
Ugh.
“…!!”
The magical power of predation was created at Taehyeon’s feet.
Taehyun instinctively unleashed his magic power.
Tiring.
[Unique skill Predation (SS) has been activated. Expands the scope.]
Stand tall.
The predatory maw that was about to devour the four monsters stopped moving.
This was because Taehyun took ownership of the magical power.
“What are you doing?”
Taehyun looked to the side.
There was a doppelganger there, smiling heartily.
[What are you doing? He said he wanted to eat something.]
The doppelganger nodded.
Ugh.
The magic power of predation, which had spread like a swamp, raised its mouth once again.
“Tsk.”
Taehyun clicked his tongue and nodded.
Ugh.
Another maw raised its head from beneath Taehyun’s feet.
Kwasik. Quad deuk.
The two maws started biting each other.
It was a battle between a predator trying to eat and protecting the four highest-ranking species whose minds had already been destroyed.
[You look tired?]
Smirking.
The doppelganger raised the corners of its mouth and sneered.
“okay. So don’t bother me for no reason.”
Taehyun said sharply.
[Are you trying to use it to resurrect the Giant King? Even if you feed them anyway, it won’t be enough to revive them. Is that all? The Giant King is not as easy to handle as you think.]
“Now that you know, why don’t you take a nap?”
Taehyun and his doppelganger’s red eyes met.
wee.
We read each other’s thoughts.
[They were trying to make up for the lack of magical power by summoning the Archduke.]
‘This guy is clearly testing me.’
[Isn’t it?]
“Well.”
Taehyun didn’t answer.
After a brief standoff.
[Do whatever you want.]
The doppelganger got out of the way.
In an instant, the magic power of predation evaporated.
[I have one piece of advice. grandee. Don’t look down on those lesser things. You don’t know their true power yet.]
“….”
[Get out of my house.]
That was the end.
Taehyun was expelled from the world of images.
* * *
Wait a moment for your vision to reverse.
There were four top species that had stopped moving in front of me.
‘This is the real power the Archduke possesses.’
Taehyun thought about what his doppelganger said.
Well, nothing came to mind right away.
Now was the time to focus on Typhon’s resurrection.
“shall we start.”
Tiring.
[Skill Energy Drain (SS) has been activated. Specifies the target.]
Tsuzuzuzuzu.
Four chains and tentacles wrapped around the four highest species.
Even though I’m tired.
They are guys whose presence itself is heavy.
[Progress rate – 60%]
In an instant, the quest’s progress rate jumped to 60%.
‘As expected, this isn’t enough.’
By using ‘Energy Drain’, Taehyun’s magical power was also fully filled.
Tiring.
[Skill Gate Apostle (SS) has been activated.]
Quaaaaa.
A huge gate was created.
and.
Tiring.
[The summoning skill Rosaria (SS) has been activated. Specify the location.]
The second skill was used with a feeling of exhaustion and loss of magical power.
It’s shaky. It’s shaky.
Rosaria appeared with a spark.
“You’re a total mess.”
[That seems to be the same for contractors as well.]
Without caring about their own appearance.
Taehyun and Rosaria burst into laughter.
The lowest level of Orgal’s second castle.
Now was the time to start robbing empty houses in earnest.
