Regressing with the King’s Power - Chapter 298
Episode 298
It was quite a while before Taehyun returned to Rosaria’s main island.
Since I was moving while avoiding Orgal’s demonic beasts with a body that was not fully recovered, it was inevitable that my speed would slow down.
Rosaria and Typhon, who had already arrived, were bickering in the castle, and the dream demons and giants were living together as if they had never fought before.
It was a peaceful sight that was unimaginable not long ago.
Ignoring the crowded situation, Taehyun looked at the status window.

The awakened level has increased, the stats have grown, and Typhon’s magic magic in the summoning skill has gone down.
The percentage of turf wars and tribal wars was rising.
Is that all?
“It’s the element of origin…”
A skill I’ve never seen before.
A skill that was clearly influenced by Typhon was registered.
Taehyun tried the skill without hesitation.
Tiring.
[Skill Source Element (SSS) has been activated.]
[Understanding the skill is insufficient. Activation of the skill is cancelled.]
“Hmm.”
It took a moment for Taehyun to show a regretful reaction.
I turned my attention to another skill registered in the status window, ‘Devil Gate’.
Tiring.
[Skill Devil Gate (SSS) has been activated.]
[Understanding the skill is insufficient. Activation of the skill is cancelled.]
“Huh.”
The skill’s activation was canceled twice in a row.
Cases like this are rare, so it was natural for Taehyun to feel discouraged.
‘Even after reaching SSS level, understanding is lacking.’
It was an unexpected situation.
At the same time, judging from the experience so far, the answer was already available.
‘A desperate situation that requires the use of skills.’
And usually, you learn that during battle.
That’s when Taehyun was thinking that way.
[Ruthless loss!! Get out of her castle right now!!]
Rosaria’s angry voice was heard.
Then Typhon’s boisterous laughter was heard.
[Hahahaha. How long are you planning to push away the main body?] When
Taehyun turned his head, Rosaria and Typhon were bickering on one side.
Typhon was looming around Rosaria, who was sitting on the throne.
“Tsk tsk. “I can’t stand it anymore.”
Taehyun clicked his tongue and looked at Typhon with pitiful eyes.
Rosaria’s castle is a castle built for the Hwangma tribe.
Therefore, originally Typhon’s large body would not have been able to enter.
‘It’s a needlessly convenient ability.’
Typhon controlled his magical power and shrunk his body to the same size as Rosaria.
Rosaria was feeling uncomfortable at that sight.
[I propose to you once again.]
Typhon spoke with great dignity.
Thanks to the already ruined image, there was no way he could feel his dignity properly.
[Shut up. Shall I pluck out those lewd eyes and dirty tongue?]
Rosaria’s tentacles swung as if they were going to cut out Typhon’s red eyes at any moment.
[Hehehe. The main body is ready to grant its body to you at any time.]
[…!!]
Kwaang!!
Rosaria couldn’t bear it anymore and swung her tentacles.
It had the power to finish off one of the highest species in an instant.
But the power of those tentacles.
Rather than gouging out the enemy’s eyes from Typhon’s guard, I had to be satisfied with just hitting his body.
[bloke!! Hold on until the end!!]
Rosaria swung her tentacles without stopping.
It looked like he was being whipped.
Typhon seems to be holding on to it, saying he will endure it until she gives him permission.
‘That’s shit.’
This is when Taehyun thinks so.
[Queen of nightmares!! Stop that rude attitude right now!!]
Erebos, who was watching on the other side, shouted.
Erebos, who had adjusted the size of his body, was unable to let go of his anger and was leaking thunderbolts through his body.
[Erebos. Do not intervene, but watch.]
[But father…!!]
[Your mother also rejected her true identity at first. However, it was also the true God who broke his stubbornness.]
[King…]
Erebos gritted his teeth at Typhon’s resolute attitude.
However, for the clan, the Giant King’s orders are absolute.
Erebos reluctantly lowered his head.
[I understand…]
Meanwhile, I glanced at Taehyun, who was looking at the status window on one side.
They think that Taehyun, who is Rosaria and Typhon’s contractor, might be able to stop them.
“Tsk. “It’s not a child.”
Taehyun clicked his tongue and approached Rosaria, who was still hitting Typhon’s head and face.
[Rosaria. It would be difficult if people on the same side did this.]
[Contractor, stay still. This is a matter of pride for the woman. How can you calm down even after looking at that insidious face?]
Oops. Sigh. Sigh.
[Hehe. Has your strength not yet returned? With this level of power, it is impossible to bend the original mind.]
Typhon endured Rosaria’s beating and took a step closer.
Those red eyes were shining like never before.
Aspiration or longing.
Who could look at the Archduke like that?
Oh soso.
Typhon’s obsession with Rosaria gave me goosebumps without even realizing it.
‘It’s a big deal. If we leave it like this, it won’t be surprising if something happens.’
Taehyun blocked Typhon’s path, ignoring the tentacle’s slap.
[hmm? Move over, contractor.]
Typhon glanced at Taehyeon for a moment and said indifferently.
Although the tone was polite.
It was clear that Taehyun would not let anyone interfere with him.
“Typhon. “Don’t you think that’s rude to Rosaria?”
Typhon’s expression hardened at Taehyun’s words.
[Hey contractor. No way, a contract with the main body….]
Before Typhon could finish speaking, Taehyun continued.
“You don’t have as much power or prestige as before, but you’re showing off to the end. Typhon is ugly.”
[…!!]
I’m sorry.
A thunderbolt flowed from Typhon’s red eyes.
Grumbling.
A flame incomparable to that of Tartarus rose from his body.
Just like Rosaria.
It seemed like you could kill one or two of the top species just by touching them.
Tiring.
[Skill Stone Skin (SSS) has been activated.]
[Skill Stone Skin (SSS) has been strengthened.]
In addition, Taehyeon, who used the 3rd form of Geumgang, a new Korean ancient martial art, approached Typhon.
I don’t know what to do.
My whole body tingled just by getting close.
Maybe after just one minute like this, part of my body will explode.
Taehyun tried to ignore it and whispered into Typhon’s ear.
“Rosaria likes strong beings. “That’s why you follow the king.”
[…!!]
Typhon’s eyes opened wide.
I hope so for a while.
Grrrrrrr.
Pazzzzzz.
The power that had been manifested without my knowledge faded away.
[I see… He’s the king. I understand why you rejected my former self.]
Typhon nodded as if he understood.
Taehyun looked at Typhon and nodded.
‘This kid… bears an uncanny resemblance to guild leader Kwon Kang-hyuk.’
Muscle idiot.
Typhon, unaware of Taehyun’s thoughts, looked as if he had found the answer to his life.
Soon the gaze alternated between Taehyun and Rosaria.
[Rosaria. The strength of the past will be restored for you. I will inform the Abyss of my greatness.]
[You crazy bastard. What nonsense are you talking about?]
Rosaria, who could not hear what Taehyun said, frowned and swore.
[Even the way you look angry is beautiful. However, when that time comes, you will not be able to reject your true self.]
[Really… you want to die.]
Tsuzuzuzu.
Rosaria once again unleashed purple magic power.
This time Taehyun blocked her path.
“Let’s calm down. “Because I have a lot of work to do.”
[contractor. I was told not to interfere. The main lady is to kill that guy in this castle right away…]
“Rosaria. “Let’s at least allow Typhon to go out on his own feet.”
[What do you mean?]
“Typhon. Shouldn’t you reunite your tribe?”
It meant that the land of the giants that had been occupied by Orgal should be recovered.
[Hehe. Of course.]
“You must be busy to bring back the scattered giants, right?”
It was Erebus, not Typhon, who answered.
[There is no need for that.]
“…?”
[The giants who sensed that my father was resurrected must be gathering here.]
Taehyeon whistled at Erebos’ words.
“Good. If that were true, things would be much easier.”
[Hmm?]
Erebos and Typhon tilted their heads as if wondering what it meant.
Taehyun didn’t feel the need to answer.
“Then, let’s say the real ground-breaking begins when all the giants gather.”
Taehyun took a moment to make eye contact with Rosaria.
“You probably need a new place to stay, right?”
He gave Typhon and Erebos a friendly broker’s smile.

Earth at that time.
Jeong Tae-woo of the Hanbit Guild was looking through the report.
The Hanbit Guild was growing day by day, and just by looking at the report, there were plenty of figures showing how rapid growth had been achieved.
“This is all thanks to former General Secretary Kim Hyun-tae.”
Hyuntae Kim.
He, who had invested a huge amount of capital in Hanbit Guild, had now resigned.
Instead, he said he had other things to do and introduced me to a talented player.
The new general manager was so good at his job that Jeong Tae-woo was able to just sign autographs, and thanks to this, he was able to secure personal training time while increasing the size of Hanbit Guild.
Jeong Tae-woo. Choi Chi-soo. Geohan Park.
That was why the three initial executives were able to obtain S-class player licenses at the same time.
“Anyway, it looks like the gray disease has been completely suppressed.”
Is that why?
The demons who were running rampant with the disease on their backs were quiet.
“I never thought New Korea would grow this big.”
New Korea, which entered the ranks of great powers with Kim Tae-hyun at the forefront, has now become a power that can be called one of the top three with its own power alone.
That’s it.
A new secretary has arrived.
“Guild leader. “This is a report from the strategy leader who was dispatched to the middle layer of the Abyss.”
“Ah, leave it there.”
The moment I put the report up and was about to leave.
She turned back as if she had suddenly remembered something.
“But I heard an interesting story.”
“hmm?”
“It is said that Strategy A Team has discovered an interesting key in the depths this time.”
“key?”
“yes. “You mean it’s something you can’t find out even with A-level measurement skills?”
Jeong Tae-woo’s expression became strange at the unexpected report.
“They say it’s impossible to determine even with A-level skills. Let’s leave the request for analysis to Alchemist for now.”
Usually, such items have enormous value.
‘It would be nice if it was the key to Treasure Island.’
Jeong Tae-woo had a happy imagination.
Without even thinking about the catastrophe the key would bring.
