Regressing with the King’s Power - Chapter 357

Episode 356

Jormungand and Igmun responded immediately to Taehyun’s suggestion.

[What if you don’t like it?]

[Bullshit.]

That’s the reaction I expected.

Taehyun showed off his still-relaxed magic power.

“If that happens, I’ll have to summon Hazard and Orgal Beelzebub. “It’s no problem to summon the already weakened archdukes.”

In fact, in the image world, Taehyeon summoned six archdukes.

Objectively, Taehyun’s power is barely enough to summon two archdukes at the same time.

Kim Tae-hyun, who had been wandering around the area until now, would have never known this.

That uncertainty made it possible to set up a negotiating table with the Archduke.

[Puhuhuh. [Do you think I will be afraid?]

Jormungand said casually and burst into laughter.

This is the castle of Jormungand.

Just as other princes were able to exert their maximum power in their castles, he was the one who had the greatest advantage in the Horse Sea.

“Jormungand. “What do you think happened in the world of images after you disappeared?”

[…?]

“To that guy. What kind of reward do you think you received for the power of the Great Devil?”

[…!!]

Jormungand’s expression wavered as he understood Taehyeon’s words.

[You guy….]

“Yes. “I was able to manifest him here.”

[…!!]

[…!!]

Jormungand was not the only one who understood those words.

[under…!! You can summon that damn thing? Why don’t you try it right now?!!]

Igmun shouted in a voice that seemed to be filled with evil.

Know.

You need the main body to deal with that monster that uses the king’s power.

Still, the reason he shouted like this was for his own wounded pride.

Whether congenital or acquired.

All beings who become great dukes are beings who reign as kings of their species.

The person who brought those great dukes to their knees was the King of Underworld.

He created the laws of the Abyss through some kind of magic, and the princes had to cut down their existence to survive under those laws.

‘Existence’ refers to the size of a being, both physically and mentally.

The moment when you question your own existence, regardless of your power.

A great power is bound to decline rapidly.

There is no choice but to be eliminated and downgraded.

That is why Rosaria maintains its dignity even though it is called the weakest of the archdukes, and it is for the same reason that it is not afraid of battle with the archdukes.

The same goes for Igmun.

Although he cannot be said to be the strongest of the Archdukes.

I never thought that I would be defeated by others.

This is because admitting that an archduke has been defeated by another archduke means a loss of existence and no longer able to reign.

This is no different even if it is an alter ego with less power than the main body.

[If you dare.]

The doppelganger has already trampled on his alter ego several times.

It wasn’t even a similar force.

Every time we met again, Igmun also drew more strength from his body.

It grew stronger and crushed it with overwhelming force, devouring it and destroying it.

It was the first feeling of defeat I experienced after ascending to the position of Grand Duke.

Not even a king in his prime.

At best, to ‘the thoughts sealed by the king’.

Wow.

[bloke…!! Take that guy out right now!! Only this time, the original spirit will tear it to shreds.]

As Igmun said this, he unleashed blood-red magical power.

‘A surge of blood.’

The power that Taehyun gained by preying on Zhang Linfeng.

Igmun’s power began to rise rapidly.

[You are imitating the power of the main throne well.]

Jormungand was astonished when he saw that.

Igmun’s power is absorbed.

The ‘blood rush’ is a distant past.

When the two archdukes faced off, Igmun imitated Jormungand’s power and made it his own.

It’s not just that something like that was stolen from Kim Tae-hyun, but it’s also unreasonable to use it in front of its original owner.

[Why don’t you use that great power too?]

As he said that, two blood swords were created in Igmun’s hands.

Keying. Keying.

A strange magical power flowed from the two swords, which were made as if blood had coagulated.

Ig-moon aimed one of the two blood swords at Tae-hyeon.

[Don’t think that the same move as before will work this time too.]

“….”

[Puh-huh. Did you even take out the sealing sword? You seem to be uncharacteristically nervous.]

[Don’t use your snake-like tongue, Jormungand.]

Tsuzuzu.

Igmun swung another blood sword at Jormungand.

Normally, I would have chosen to confront it rather than avoid it because of my pride.

But for some reason.

‘You avoided it?’

Jormungand twisted his body without dealing with the blood sword.

It was an unusual choice that Taehyun knew.

‘It’s an attack that even Jormungand is wary of. The sealing sword… must not be touched.’

I had a feeling that the situation might turn out to be unfavorable.

It’s not a bad situation for two archdukes to engage in a melee, but when they use unexpected techniques like Igmun, the variables increase.

Taehyun had to take control of the situation as much as possible, and to do that, he needed to calm down Igmun’s excitement.

“Igmun. It’s not a bad offer for you either. Just listen to it once…”

[Shut up.]

Igmun growled and snapped his fingers.

OK.

“…!!”

Puff poop poop.

The blood sword fell into the spot where Taehyun was standing just a moment ago.

If you hadn’t used the ‘Eye of the Highest Species’ to keep an eye on the guy’s movements, the casting speed would have been enough to allow for about two casts.

[What a rat.]

“You are the oath of summoning!! Why don’t I make a bet with an oath of subordination?!!”

The moment Igumoon was about to snap his fingers again, Taehyun shouted first.

[I should cut out that tongue and throw it away.]

Pup pup puk. Pupupupupup.

The area began to fill with blood swords.

Jormungand was far away.

Although the sealing sword in both hands of Igmun is annoying.

First of all, since Ig-moon is attacking Tae-hyeon, he wants to avoid a situation where he gets involved and suffers damage.

Ordinary archdukes wouldn’t be able to do that.

Jormungand was a grand duke who knew how to put utility before pride.

On the contrary, he was even laughing as he watched Taehyun using the rush of blood to avoid his body.

It is said that Kim Tae-hyun’s eyes and movements exceed those of the highest level.

Even so, there is a limit to avoiding Igmun’s attacks.

In the end, the moment you touch that sealing sword, you will not be able to escape from here.

At that time, all you have to do is deal with Ig-moon and take control of Kim Tae-hyun, who is unable to move.

[Puh-huh.]

Jormungad couldn’t hold back the laughter that came out.

That’s it.

“Release!!”

[…!!]

At Taehyun’s shout, Igmun’s body, which had been continuously attacking in waves, suddenly stopped.

An ancient prince who ruled in the past when Jormungand and Igmun were called the highest species.

The queen of Mongma and Demon Sea whom Igumoon treated as his lord.

Taehyun uttered the name that had already been forgotten by many people.

The effect was great.

[You… why that name…]

Igmun’s eyes shook like never before, as if Beelzebub was reminded of a past trauma after seeing the predation.

“I saw it in Rosaria’s memories.”

[…!!]

“I was surprised. “I also never thought you had a time like that.”

[Guy…]

Immediately Igmun realized what Taehyun was talking about and his face turned red.

It wasn’t just anger.

“Orgal Beelzebub Hazard. It’s no problem to summon you now if I want to. “And yet I would have summoned you without even thinking about it.”

[There is one more reason for the original ghost to rule over you.]

“Skill Memorize. “It’s the art of conveying what I see to others.”

[…!!]

Igmun clenched his teeth.

[Before that, you will swear allegiance to the original ghost.]

I could feel the will to make it come true in Igmun’s voice.

“It’s because you’re so deaf. Preparations have already been made. If my body loses control of itself, not only the Archduke but also tens of thousands of monsters around the world will share those memories. “You know that with Rosaria’s power added, it’s not impossible, right?”

[He… how dare he… believe in a small talent….]

“It’s not a small talent.”

Hahahahaha.

Taehyun, who had unleashed his magical power, used the skill ‘Heart of the Great Devil’.

Admiration passed over Jormungandr’s face at the sudden increase in his presence.

“I promise. “I don’t think it’s an offer worth your loss.”

Silence followed.

When seconds that felt like years passed by.

Igmun opened his mouth as if chewing and spitting out.

[Tell me.]

Jormungand’s face distorted at Igmun’s attitude.

This time, I thought things were going as I expected.

However, Igmun’s attitude changed after Lilith was mentioned.

What secrets did Rosaria share with my contractor?

Think about that for a moment.

Taehyun proposed a duel in neutral territory.

The condition was that he would hand over full ownership of Igmun’s memories.

[Is your liver swollen?]

Igumoon asked as if he was dumbfounded.

“Of course, it would be difficult if you were the opponent. “Please appoint someone to take your place.”

[Ha… Haha….]

Igmun finally couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter.

Every time we meet, we become stronger.

Aren’t you now looking down on your highest level of authority?

[How can I trust what you say?]

Igmun used a skill as if he had been waiting for the question.

Tiring.

[Skill Master of Desire (SSS) has been activated.]

Dark blue magical power bloomed.

The power of the great devil Gorfer.

It was a power that even Igmun was unaware of.

[You have acquired an interesting power.]

“What is the answer?”

Quickly.

Igmun gritted his teeth and released the blood sword.

The moment Taehyun brought up the story of that day.

He already had no choice but to be dragged away.

[good night. The highest level of original spirit….]

[Wait. Everyone is mistaken. The owner of this castle is the main throne.]

Jormungand looked at Taehyeon and clicked his tongue.

[Kim Tae-hyun. You created an interesting stage again.]

“Igmun agreed. “If you say no here, things will get pretty interesting.”

[Don’t worry. It’s not that I don’t like entertainment. However, if it continues like this, there will be no benefit to me.]

“…?”

Taehyun nodded as if asking what he wanted to say, and Jormungand extended his index finger.

[I would like to add one condition. What about the group competition?]

[You’re playing tricks. Jormungand.]

Igmun, who was listening, growled.

[I know full well that you lack useful servants.]

[Don’t be a dick. How many people do you want me to eliminate here?]

[Puh-huh… If you can, try it.]

Taehyun shrugged his shoulders at the nervous battle between the two archdukes.

What I originally thought was a solo exhibition.

‘It’s a team event…’

It’s an opportunity to see their top class.

not bad.

“good. “The number should be ten each, right?”

[It’s appropriate.]

[….]

When Taehyun immediately accepted Jormungand’s proposal, Igmun had no choice.

[I will tear them both to death.]

“The date is one month in Earth time. I will bring Rosaria with me just in case.”

Taehyun used ‘Lord of Desire’ again.

The reward was a summons pledge with life and memory as collateral.

[Accept.]

[Accept.]

Dark blue magic flowed into the bodies of the two archdukes.

One month later in Earth time.

An absurd stage has been prepared.
