Regressing with the King’s Power - Chapter 305
Episode 305
Taehyun’s red eyes flashed.
‘You bastard…’
he spat out a curse.
That’s not Hazard.
It was aimed at the doppelganger in the world of images.
‘Ataraxia’ worked successfully.
Maybe that was Taehyun’s skill.
Or maybe Hazard accepted it arbitrarily.
In any case, she entered Taehyun’s mental world.
The fact that the hazard in front of me was not moving proved that fact.
the problem is.
‘Why am I refusing?’
Originally, Taehyun should have gone into the world of images together.
I was planning to make a deal with him there, holding his lifeline.
The plan was to find out their intentions and exploit their weaknesses as leverage.
But it all came to nothing.
This is because the doppelganger did not allow Taehyun to enter.
I quickly organized my thoughts.
The first plan was foiled.
‘We must somehow take advantage of the current situation and lay the foundation for a reversal.’
I looked around.
He could see the dragons watching him with stern expressions following Hazard’s orders.
There was no composure on his face like before.
fear. Or nervousness.
Everyone seems anxious about what kind of punishment Hazard will impose.
‘Maybe it’s a good thing.’
When you head to the world of images, your body becomes defenseless.
It wasn’t a bad move to feast on all the remaining guys before Hazard came to his senses.
‘Or deal with that guy.’
Taehyun glanced at Bordeaux, who was supporting Hazard.
That’s it.
[bloke!! What did you do to Rod!!]
Bordeaux, who noticed something strange, spoke out.
The force was so strong that my whole body felt tingly.
“You’re quick to notice.”
Aiming for a surprise attack is a failure.
Taehyun admitted that he had woken up obediently.
[I will ask again. What did you do to Rod?]
Pajjik.
A spark flew out of the guy’s red eyes.
If you do something stupid, you will immediately use your spirit.
“What an act. “I just gave in to what Hazard wanted.”
It’s not a lie.
Even at this very moment, my head is pounding.
That meant that there was a battle with the doppelganger in the world of images.
Given his personality, he would have used ‘predation’.
“There’s no way a being as big as a grand duke could be defeated by a person as small as a bug, right? Ah, if we lose… does that mean that Hazard is no better than a bug?”
It was an obvious mockery.
How does it feel to be troubled by people who ignore you so much?
[You bastard!!!]
It’s so bad!!!
At the same time, sparks flew from Bordeaux’s eyes.
Tiring.
[The use of magic power has been detected. I was struck by ‘fatal spirit’. It resists with mysterious power. Resistance was partially successful.]
[‘Fatal Mettle’ is at work. Stamina decreases by 10.]
[‘Fatal Awe’ is in effect. Speed decreases by 10.]
‘This guy is no slouch either.’
Grumbling.
Blood flowed from Taehyun’s nose due to the crushing spirit.
I guess I’m tired from using skills continuously.
Bordeaux was also strong enough to compete with Erebos on his own.
It also deals with similar brain properties.
“Let’s try it like this?”
He pointed at Hazard, who was still motionless, with his chin.
It was a threat that I thought was quite plausible.
Bordeaux’s spirit did not diminish one bit.
[Get away from Rod!!]
Pajijijijik.
The spirit radiating from his body actually became stronger.
I hate to admit it, but it was a great response.
If he had shown even the slightest sign of flinching, Taehyun would have taken advantage of the opportunity.
‘It’s difficult.’
At this rate, they are going to attack regardless of whether Hazard gets involved.
I have never been attacked while maintaining ‘Ataraxia’.
What is certain is that if something like that happens, it won’t just end up as regurgitation.
‘I can’t help it.’
Quaaaaa.
Magical power bloomed from Taehyun’s body.
The ‘high-ranking heart’ throbbed as magic power was drawn out twice.
‘This is not enough.’
Because I overexerted myself, ‘Apocalypse’ cooldown time had not returned yet.
The magic power to maintain ‘Demonization’ and ‘Rampage of Blood’ was also considerable.
Defeat him at once.
Something was needed to prevent other dragons who were keeping an eye on them for survival, etc., from intervening.
It was natural that the new skill ‘Element of Origin’ came to mind.
Coincidentally, this guy’s spirit also has the attribute of a thunderbolt.
The intention is to maximize their physical abilities at once and subdue them with ancient martial arts and predation.
however.
“…?”
Grumbling.
Bloody tears flowed from Taehyun’s red eyes.
Grumbling.
It was the same with the nose.
The throbbing in my head also became stronger.
‘Is the battle in the imaginary world intensifying?…’
It is a place where time flows differently from reality.
When your body can hold on even a little.
‘We need to get rid of that troublesome guy as soon as possible.’
Quaaaaa.
Magic power was released.
This is so that he can use the ‘root element’ whenever his spirit strikes.
however.
[Stop. Taehyun Kim.]
“…!!”
[…!!]
Stand tall.
Taehyun and Bordeaux, who were tightly looking for a gap, stopped moving.
Before I knew it, Hazard’s red eyes were focused on Taehyun.
‘Already… got out?’
Even if what is in front of you is the body.
If it was a doppelganger that Taehyun knew, he would not easily miss his prey once he came across it.
[indeed. It was an amazing meeting.]
Hazard’s red eyes were shining with interest as he spoke.
“It’s faster than I thought?”
Taehyun asked, trying not to show his embarrassment.
[There is a cause and effect in everything.]
Hazard lifted his pretty lips.
It was a smile that anyone would fall in love with if they didn’t know that it was actually a dragon.
[However. It’s a bit scandalous.]
One of Hazard’s seven colored heads.
Green hair was shaking.
Tiring.
[‘A great force’ is at work. It resists with mysterious power. Resistance failed.]
[‘Poisonous spirit’ is at work. I have an addiction(???). Stamina decreases by 20.]
[‘Poisonous spirit’ is in effect. I have an addiction(???). Speed decreases by 20.]
Chi-ik. Chii Iik.
Taehyun’s body became hot as if he were addicted to a poison.
[Why don’t you use the king’s power directly?]
Among Hazard’s seven colored hair, the golden one was shaking.
Tiring.
[‘A great force’ is at work. It resists with mysterious power. Resistance failed.]
[‘Heavy spirit’ is at work. I was suppressed(???). Stamina decreases by 20.]
[‘Heavy spirit’ is in effect. I was suppressed(???). Speed decreases by 20.]
Crash. Clang.
[Why are you anxious because you can’t experience the power of the real dragon?]
Among Hazard’s seven colored hair, the black one was shaking.
Tiring.
[‘A great force’ is at work. It resists with mysterious power. Resistance failed.]
[‘Sinister spirit’ is at work. I was caught in confusion(???). Stamina decreases by 20.]
[‘Ominous spirit’ is in effect. I was caught in confusion(???). Speed decreases by 20.]
Ping-.
My vision reversed and my vision became blurred.
This is because the three types of spirit used by Hazard were concentrated.
[Can you endure this?]
Taehyun shook his head.
Even though Hazard encountered his doppelganger, he escaped too quickly.
It must have also used the power of predation.
However, he is telling Taehyun to use that power once again.
That means only one thing.
‘It’s not just a fight with a doppelganger.’
There was clearly some kind of transaction.
That was probably why he blocked Taehyun’s approach.
‘I don’t feel like it either.’
Taehyun thought so as he endured three types of defeat.
Hazard seemed to want something from Taehyun.
These attacks will continue until we get it.
I didn’t like that.
‘I can’t help it.’
Summoning skill.
It was time to put Plan B into action.
Quaaaaaaaaa.
[Hoo.]
Hazard’s eyebrows rose as if Taehyun’s choice was unexpected.
This is because I know that what I chose was not ‘predation’.
“You were the one who started first.”
This is the moment when Taehyun’s red eyes flash and he is about to use his skill.
suddenness.
All the suppressed spirit disappeared.
[Kim Tae-hyun. Your knees seem quite expensive.]
“What a trick.”
Taehyun asked without hesitation.
[If I kill you, won’t that monster come out? There is no need to create such a tiring situation.]
“….”
[I wanted to meet you. [This is the key chosen by the king.]
Looking at Taehyun drenched in sweat.
Hazard smiled kindly.
The sight reminded Taehyun of some madwomen in his memories.
* * *
[You passed the main dragon’s test with flying colors.]
Hazard said with a satisfied expression.
“At this point, I can’t even laugh. so?”
[I will not harm you.]
“Are you asking me to believe that?”
Taehyun looked around.
Yongin. Jackie Chan-class Worm-class Ancient-class pureblood dragon.
And following the top-class blue dragon Bordeaux, the dragon lord Hazard.
In comparison, Taehyun is exhausted and his only strength is Asisat Ebi.
It would be difficult for even her to be at full strength.
[Weren’t you planning on summoning Rosaria and Typhon anyway?]
Although he didn’t show it.
Taehyun was inwardly surprised.
As the saying goes, Plan B’s main plan is the summoning skill.
[It would be okay to summon Igmun. From what I heard, that’s how you escaped from Beelzebub’s castle, right?]
“….”
We thoroughly investigated Taehyun.
His meticulousness was evident, different from that of other archdukes he had met so far.
If we had to compare it.
‘Is he similar in personality to Jormungand?’
This is when Taehyun thinks so.
[Bonryong will make a not bad offer.]
“Are you asking me to become a contractor?”
[I guess other guys made similar suggestions.]
Hazard responded that it wasn’t surprising.
“Then you know the answer, right?”
Hazard laughed out loud.
That sight was eerie in a different way than Rosaria.
[Rosaria and Typhon. Those guys are only half-baked. Swear your obedience to me. If you do that, I will help you fulfill your responsibilities as the King’s Key.]
It’s not a bad offer.
What if the Grand Duke with whom Taehyun first made the oath of summoning was someone other than Rosaria?
If only we had been able to carry out the plan from the beginning with the help of a force that was like a thousand demons.
Territorial war and tribal war.
It would have been much easier to carry out this unknown quest.
‘The time to meet the king must have also decreased.’
However.
As before, the answer was already decided.
“It’s a refusal.”
[Hoo.]
“How about making a pact of summoning with me? “If you accept it, I will double the territory of the dragon clan from what it is now.”
On the contrary, he presented an absurd proposal.
Hazard burst into laughter again.
He fell into a boldness that his contractor, Asisat Ebi, did not have.
[That tongue is just like Rosaria’s.]
Taehyun shrugged.
“What is the answer?”
[There’s nothing that can’t be done. I can just get rid of that weak contractor and use you. But before that.]
Exactly.
Hazard snapped his delicate fingers.
Sssssss.
The surroundings began to change.
What appeared was a huge cave.
The many dragons and Asisat Evie were nowhere to be seen, and the only ones present were Taehyeon and Hazard.
‘Could it be… that all of this was a hallucination from the beginning…?’
No, there are a lot of strange things about that.
Taehyun’s current situation is a type of spirit that Hazard possesses.
Or, it was concluded that it was the power of the barrier.
[You seem to be thinking a lot.]
“….”
[You passed the test, so I should give you a reward. Follow me.]
With those words, Hazard entered the entrance of the cave.
Taehyun follows her.
I took a step inside the rare.
