Regressing with the King’s Power - Chapter 295
Episode 295:
An insignificant race.
It must have been referring to humans.
“If it’s a joke, get rid of it. “I don’t have much time.”
Taehyun said that while looking at the eyes under his feet.
This is Typhon’s imaginary world.
It is not strange if an egg other than the eyeball talks to you.
Rather than a bebe twisted maze.
‘This intuitive world might be more comfortable.’
Even while I was thinking that, my eyes continued to watch Taehyun.
“More than that.”
Taehyun stopped talking and made eye contact with the red eyes at his feet for a moment.
“Were you conscious?”
He asked crookedly, with a hint of displeasure in his voice.
If you are conscious to this degree, it is not difficult to control the external body.
If Typhon wants to.
It also meant that Taehyun and Rosaria did not have to go through that trouble.
‘Rosaria will gnash her teeth if she finds out.’
With that in mind, it is time to try to infer Typhon’s intentions.
This time a voice came into my head.
It was a low sound that sounded like scraping metal.
[That’s a cheeky question. I have never once lost consciousness.]
‘It’s not like I’m bluffing.’
[It’s not a bluff. Cheeky human being.]
‘…!!’
Taehyun’s eyes twitched.
He has always invited archdukes into his imaginary world, but this is the first time he has entered it himself.
‘I wonder… I can read thoughts.’
At the same time as I thought that, my huge eyes curved like a bow.
It was because I really read Taehyun’s thoughts.
[Hehehe. Isn’t that kind of natural in the real world?]
Typhon’s laughter rang loudly in my head.
“Tsk. “How can all the archdukes be so arrogant?”
Taehyun clicked his tongue and shook his head.
I had no idea how to persuade him when even his thoughts could be read.
[Hehehe. I don’t think this is something an uninvited guest would say.]
I frowned at Typhon’s sinister smile.
Even so, I couldn’t put off what I had to do.
“Ask again. “If you are conscious, you have control over your body, right?”
[Then what can I do?]
“What can I do? “We have to take him outside.”
[Hahaha. Are you like this?]
“Yes. “I am you.”
Taehyun said, looking at the snow beneath his feet.
It was different from what I saw in the memories of Tartarus and Erebos.
At that time, Typhon felt a sense of responsibility and mission worthy of the name king.
But what can I say now?
“You look like a kid.”
Where has the majestic Giant King gone and what remains is this guy who only plays with words?
‘Or maybe Tartarus and Erebus were overly deified.’
Is it because I read Taehyun’s thoughts?
Typhon answered immediately.
[The original body is a body that has been destroyed once. Even if consciousness remains, it cannot be the same as before.]
“That means…”
[Just because you brought the original body back to life. He said he had no intention of becoming the king of giants again.]
It was an unexpected statement.
The reason Taehyun and Rosaria went ahead with the plan despite taking risks was to obtain the power of ‘Grand Duke’.
But what the guy in front of me is saying right now.
‘Are you not planning on coming back to life? Or is it simply that he will not fulfill his duties as the Giant King?’
Either way, it wasn’t good news for Taehyun.
“If you’re not the Archduke, I don’t need you either.”
[Hehe. Just because you don’t become the king of giants doesn’t mean your natural power goes anywhere.]
“I don’t like puns.”
[Same. Did you know that you could control the body at will just because it was the life you breathed into it?]
“Do you have any awareness of the time when you were called the King of Giants in the past?”
Have you been thinking too much about being locked away for so long?
Or is it because Orgal’s magical power has caused a change of heart?
[Both are wrong. Memories of the past remain vivid, and Orgal’s magical power had no effect on me.]
“Then you will know why I resurrected you.”
[I know. All those complicated thoughts are being read by the eyes of the main body.]
“Become a grand duke again and lead the clan. “There are still quite a few people waiting for you.”
Taehyun thought of Erebos and Aether.
It’s not just the remnants they lead.
There were definitely giants hiding everywhere in the Abyss like Tartarus.
What if Typhon is revived and the giant survivors gather again under him?
What if Tae-hyun and the Hmong Demon tribe continue to provide their full support?
We are currently in the middle of a turf war, which is a good time to steal what belongs to others.
It wouldn’t take long for the giants to regain their former prestige.
[The original body is a being that has been defeated once.]
Typhon and Orgal appeared on one side of the image world.
The enormous magical power symbolized the clash between the powers of the two great dukes.
Jormungand belatedly entered the war.
2 to 1.
Jormungand, who was the archduke at the time, and Orgal, who was aiming for the position of archduke.
The two great supply monsters worked together to defeat Typhon.
‘Was it such a monster that Orgal alone could not handle it?’
Seeing his past defeats with his own eyes, he was even more difficult to miss.
So I can’t understand it even more.
Even though he was defeated in a mean way, he still looks like this.
“Do you have no desire for revenge on Orgal?”
Taehyun said that question out loud.
[Hehe, revenge. Do you think you can move your body with such childish emotions? Moreover, there is no reason to follow the words of humans or something like that.]
“Don’t act like a brat, Typhon. “Wasn’t you a king in the past who thought terribly of his people?”
[They are of the same race.]
The giant’s eyes darkened once again.
They are laughing at it.
Taehyun’s question.
[I know you ate Tartarus. The same goes for subduing Erebos and Aether.]
“….”
[If the main body had not died. The children’s power would not have weakened. You wouldn’t even be here.]
“….”
That’s not wrong.
Taehyun figured it out.
Although the population of the giants is small, some of their children inherit their powers.
If Erebos’ power had not weakened, Taehyeon would have had to risk his life several times.
[How about making Erebos the king?]
“….”
[If you don’t even like that, how about you become the king of the giants?]
Taehyeon was at a loss for words.
For a human to become the king of his clan?
No matter how tasty it may be, this is not something a former archduke would say.
‘Unfortunately, T-Phone is a card that must be discarded.’
Taehyun made a quick decision.
[That’s a refusal.]
Tiphon giggled after reading Taehyun’s thoughts.
There is no dignity to be found in that smile.
All I feel is frivolity.
“Negotiations have collapsed. It’s a shame. “I thought you would be a good partner.”
[You probably needed someone to act like a limb. Your old-fashioned suggestions leave me uninspired.]
Only then did I think I understood.
Typhon dies once.
‘You must have lost the spark of life.’
[I had no desire to come back to life. At best, it will lead to a boring life. king. Turf war. tribal war. This means that nothing has any meaning to the original body. Orgal? Did you think I would at least grab his hand to get revenge on him?]
Taehyun nodded at the mocking words.
I never thought I would be rejected like this.
I had no idea that I would miss out on such a huge power event for such a ridiculous reason.
“I don’t have the decency to see Rosaria.”
By now, Rosaria must be holding out outside, hoping that Taehyun will fully awaken Typhon’s consciousness.
And Taehyun completely failed.
That’s it.
[Rosa…Ria…she is still beautiful.]
Typhon, who had always been cynical, gave a plausible reaction for the first time.
“….”
Taehyun’s eyes twitched in embarrassment.
I belatedly remembered what Rosaria had said.
Although Typhon constantly courted Rosaria.
It is said that Rosaria only took advantage of Typhon’s giants and steadfastly rejected them.
A sad story, not a secret story.
‘Rosaria said it indifferently.’
Thinking about it now, it would have been rare for a monster the size of an archduke to express his feelings to someone like that.
‘This is it.’
As his mind cleared, the corners of Taehyun’s mouth rose.
“Typhon. “I’m making you an offer you can’t refuse.”
Taehyun stated a few conditions.
and.
[That’s a bit tempting.]
A muscular human approached from behind.
I felt such a huge presence that I could tell right away that Typhon was a polymorph.
“how is it?”
Taehyun once again reviewed the ridiculous terms of the contract.
[The original body does not like lies.]
“Don’t worry. “It’s the same for me too.”
Hahahaha.
Typhon burst out laughing heartily.
The red eyes of the guy who said that were burning in an incomparable way compared to before.
[The suggestion. I will accept it.]
Sigh.
Typhon stretched out his fist.
Tehyun put his fists together.
Tiring.
[The magic power of the summoning skill Typhon (SS) has changed.]
[The skill source element (???) has been registered.]
[The level of the body increases. The awakening level is readjusted.]
“Huh.”
It was a time when I was dumbfounded by the messages that came to me one after another.
[Hehe. Please take care of me, contractor. I think it’s more noisy outside than that?]
“Orgal’s relatives must have arrived. “It would be difficult for Rosaria alone.”
[I don’t think I would feel at ease if I got hurt by Rosaria’s beautiful tentacles. Is there a way to get out of the castle? The main body cannot yet exert its full power.]
Two archdukes who cannot demonstrate their full power.
Getting them out of Orgal’s castle was the final puzzle of the plan.
and.
“Don’t worry. “I have a way.”
Taehyun was ready to solve the last puzzle.
* * *
Orgal’s second voice.
It wasn’t long after Taehyun entered Typhon’s mental world that the highest-ranking people began to gather there.
Except for the castle commander, all of the useful troops were led by Orgal.
After Rosaria disappeared, the subordinates of 6 to 15 stars came belatedly with their troops at the order of Orgal, who was enraged.
Intruder of the castle.
Never miss Taehyun Kim.
Orgal’s messenger was the only one.
There were only fifteen individuals of the highest species, 6 to 15 stars, who reluctantly moved.
They couldn’t understand.
Even the highest level species deployed at 2 stars has tremendous power.
Top species of 3 to 5 stars volunteered to apply.
Still, I couldn’t understand that they couldn’t handle even a single human being.
However, questioning Orgal’s orders is treason.
It didn’t take long for the family members who arrived at Castle 2 one after another to sense something strange.
The entrance to the castle.
This is because the demonic beast tribe that should be there could not be found.
This is the moment when the highest species of the 6 castles arrived first and are about to enter the castle.
Grumbling.
Wow!!
A tentacle flew from somewhere and pierced the body of the top species that was standing in the lead.
[Khak…]
The highest species looked at the end of the tentacle.
There was Rosaria, who disappeared during the battle with Orgal.
Why is the Archduke here?
Before I could even say those words.
Wow!!
Rosaria’s tentacles tore the rigid body of the highest species to pieces.
[Hmm~ She really liked this place.]
Rosaria appeared with her nose dripping.
The monsters screamed at the sudden appearance of the Archduke.
In order to forget about fear, he began to vent his speculation.
At that time, another top species stepped forward.
[Hehehe. Rosaria, you are overdoing it.]
Those words changed the atmosphere.
The red eyes of other top species flashed.
[Indeed.]
[Isn’t this a normal condition?]
[Magic power is unstable.]
[Click. There is no way you can be okay with running away after dealing with Master Orgal.]
All kinds of dirty talk was poured out on Rosaria.
[Huh~ This is so embarrassing.]
Rosaria burst out laughing as if she didn’t care.
What they said is not wrong.
Due to the restrictions of the Abyss, the Archdukes cannot fully use their power if they leave the area.
In that state, he battled Orgal, was summoned, and even poured out his magic power.
A considerable amount of energy was expended trying to hold down Typhon’s body, which had been running wild just a moment ago.
It would be strange for any archduke to be in a normal state.
[There is no need to deal with it.]
[It will be enough to hold it until Orgal comes.]
[Everyone be careful about mental control…]
That is the time.
Keying.
Rosaria’s red eyes met a top species.
Suddenly, the highest species tore off its head with its own hands.
[Who did you say you were trying to gain time against?]
Ahahaha.
Rosaria burst out laughing as she watched the top species fall.
[You will have to pay a heavy price for looking down on the main woman.]
This is the moment when hundreds of tentacles are fluttering about to attack the enemies.
thud. thud. Boom. Boom.
There was a huge sound from inside the castle.
The sound was so loud that it went beyond the castle and even made the ground outside vibrate.
[This is….]
[No way….]
[This doesn’t make sense….]
One by one.
The top species’ expression began to harden.
and.
Kwaang!!
The castle gate was shattered and a large figure appeared.
[Ro~ja~ri~ah~.]
In a voice that sounds like scraping metal.
Come on.
Rosaria’s face crumpled.
