Regressing with the King’s Power - Chapter 365
Episode 365
Lee Jeong-jae was dreaming and saw an eerie presence in his vision.
Red eyes slit like flies.
Wings that resemble those of a bat, but move in a way that does not match its gigantic size.
A snake-like tail and vicious horns.
A sullen mouth.
If anyone sees this bizarre being, the first word that will come to mind is devil.
Above all, the purple magic that surrounds the massive body and the nature that touches the skin.
Chi profit. Cheeik.
It was rotting.
It was as if a disease had appeared that humans could not do anything about.
It’s a disaster.
Gray diseases that have been compared to natural disasters.
Compared to what he is seeing now, it will be a fresh start.
Lee Jeong-jae was sure.
I wish I could wake up from this damn dream quickly.
It’s time to think like that.
The red eyes of a disaster-like being stared at Lee Jeong-jae.
Smirk.
A sound like scraping metal came out of the raised corners of the mouth.
[Do you think it’s a dream?]
‘…!!’
What if what was here was not consciousness but the body.
If I could make a sound, I would have screamed.
Whether it’s that great SS-rank player or the guild leader of the Taesan guild.
Because he looked worse than a bug in the face of the disaster right in front of his eyes.
It didn’t matter that what he now understood was the language of monsters.
‘How can a dream be so vivid…’
If it’s a dream, I want to wake up right away.
No, it was clearly a dream and I would definitely wake up.
He must be sleeping in a hotel in Beijing guarded by 200 senior guild members of the Taishan guild.
It’s time to think that way again.
[Isn’t the original demon asking? Bug.]
The disaster-like being opened its mouth again.
‘Who… are you…’
Lee Jeong-jae came up with a polite answer to the question that seemed to penetrate my thoughts.
That alone was the answer.
Because the other person seemed to have god-like power in this unidentified space.
[Tsk. The bug has inhabited something lower than before.]
‘Be careful what you say!!’
I reacted instinctively to the sound of Lee Jeong-jae insulting me.
This is because I have never heard of bugs in my entire life.
Even Lee Jeong-su, who was abusing me, didn’t call me that.
[….]
The disaster before my eyes made me pause for a moment.
And suddenly.
Lee Jeong-jae’s consciousness darkened as if he was about to fly away.
Before he knew it, the devil’s red eyes were staring down at him right in front of his nose.
[Ridiculous.]
The devil flicked his poisonous finger.
Phew. Deep.
“Khaak…!!”
Lee Jeong-jae screamed in terrible pain.
It must have had no shape.
‘Why this pain…!!’
Lee Jeong-jae looked down at his body.
‘…!!’
There was my body, trained with strong muscles without a single thread.
The devil’s claws were piercing that body.
[It’s a bug that doesn’t even recognize the image world. How urgent it was.]
Puuk. Deep.
It was a very light touch.
Nevertheless, from Lee Jeong-jae’s perspective, pain followed as if his heart was being cut out.
“Stop… please… stop…”
Lee Jeong-jae fell to his knees and cried.
Just by giving permission a few times.
He had completely lost his will to fight.
So much so that you think of yourself as a bug.
I felt a gap in existence that could not be bridged.
[Kick… Kick…]
The devil burst out laughing at that ugly sight.
[Even after doing this, he still can’t wake up… The original demon’s contractee is showing such a pitiful appearance…] A
hideous, murderous spirit spewed out from the devil.
Rattling.
Fear beyond recognition.
Grumbling.
The area between Lee Jeong-jae’s legs was wet.
I screamed for help several times.
Meanwhile, the devil did not stop searching through Lee Jeong-jae’s body.
How his contractor survived in disgrace.
Even in the world of images, I can only generate so little strength that I cannot fully maintain my consciousness.
It was definitely recognized.
[Tsk tsk tsk.]
Devil.
Beelzebub clicked his tongue.
If the contractor dies, there is a risk to yourself as well.
Anyway.
This bug accepted some of its magic power.
It is a body that can withstand the laws of the Abyss.
That alone was of inestimable value.
[Open your eyes. Bug.]
“Thank you….”
Puuk.
Beelzebub sunk his nails into Jeongjae Lee’s heart.
“Kak…Kakak….”
Blood foam boiled from Jeongjae Lee’s mouth.
Whoa whoa.
At the same time, purple magic bloomed from her shabby naked body.
Beelzebub is forcibly injecting me with his magic power.
“Kkeaa… Kak… Kaaaa…!!”
Lee Jeong-jae screamed.
Beelzebub continued to speak as if he was not interested in such things.
[Come to my hometown. I will make you the king of bugs. But before that….]
After a while.
Lee Jeong-jae’s consciousness was cut off.
* * *
“Aaaah…!!”
Lee Jeong-jae had a seizure and opened his eyes.
The devil whose red eyes were flashing in front of me just a moment ago is nowhere to be found.
I saw a familiar scene.
It was the bedroom where he slept.
This is the VIP room of a large hotel in downtown Beijing, where the Taishan Guild is in charge of escorting.
“Heo-eok… Heo-eok….”
Lee Jeong-jae breathed heavily.
My whole body was wet with sweat.
Rattling.
My body trembled as the dream from before came back to me vividly.
‘What…a fucking dream…’
Lee Jeong-jae got up from the bed, trembling.
I stumbled and took a step towards where the mirror was.
Chi profit. Cheeik.
Wherever I walked, the floor began to melt.
The magic power ran out of control again.
I grabbed the water bottle on the shelf.
Chii Iik.
“shit!!”
When the water bottle I was trying to drink from melted, I threw it away.
His image was visible through a large glass on the wall.
It was grimacing.
The skin exposed through the gown was stained purple, as if it were rotting.
Kassim Jort’s magical power, which I thought I would quickly get used to, was eating away at my body as time passed.
If things continue like this, they will be completely consumed and become no different from monsters.
‘Damn it…’
That’s the time.
Tiring.
[Awakening grade is readjusted.]
[Skill grade is readjusted.]
[Skill Beelzebub’s Thought (SSS) has been registered.]
[Strength has increased by 100.] [
Health has increased by 100.] [Speed has been increased
by 100. has increased.]
[Magic power has increased by 100.]
‘What…?’
Jeongjae Lee instinctively opened the status window at the unexpected message.
“Oh no… how can this be…”
I muttered without realizing it as the contents of the status window changed drastically in a moment.
The overall stats increased to an unbelievable level and the grade changed to SSS.
Is that all?
His skills ‘Heart of Flame’ and ‘Heart of the Monarch’.
‘Devil’s Gate’, ‘Dystopia’ and ‘Demonization’ by Kassim Sjort.
There, a new skill called ‘Beelzebub’s Thought’ was registered.
Kasim Zort’s skill demonization and the name Beelzebub written in the new skill name.
“…!!”
A thought passed through my mind.
“Ha… Haha….”
Lee Jeong-jae burst out laughing.
I realized it.
That he was chosen by an ancient evil.
Seen in a dream.
That it has the same power as that disaster.
Kikikikikick.
Lee Jeong-jae burst into laughter and shook his body.
An illusion as if one had become a great devil.
When the pleasure reaches its peak.
Phew.
“…!!”
A silver sword stuck out of his chest.
“Cough…”
Lee Jeong-jae twisted his body and turned his head.
There was a face that shouldn’t be there.
“Cody… Cruz…?”
“….”
Sigh.
Cody Cruz wordlessly pulled out the stuck sword.
Whoops.
Lee Jeong-jae vomited blood.
The color of blood is neither red nor black.
It was purple.
Cheeeee.
A venom rose from inside the pierced body.
My body recovered in an instant.
It’s an ability that didn’t exist before.
It took me a while to realize the changes that had occurred in my body.
“What are you doing… you… why are you here…”
Lee Jeong-jae asked as if he was chewing.
“….”
Cody Cruz, who was watching Lee Jung-jae’s recovery in silence, swung his sword again.
This time the blow was aimed at the neck.
Fit.
Blood splattered.
Even though I narrowly escaped, my uvula was cut.
Originally, that alone could have been considered a fatal wound.
Ssssss.
The purple magic instantly healed the wound.
It was as if I was watching the ‘high-speed regeneration’ of a saint.
“You bastard…”
Lee Jeong-jae growled, touching my neck.
Even if the opponent is the former world number one.
There is no reason to tolerate raids like this.
“I will kill you.”
Lee Jeong-jae used his skill ‘Heart of Flame’.
Grumbling.
Heat soared from the body engulfed in fire.
When I grabbed the sword that I kept next to the bed, the flames ignited the sword.
Cody Cruz looked at that in silence.
Suddenly.
He quietly swung his sword.
* * *
Rapid rise in stats.
Changes in Awakened level.
All of this happened suddenly.
The more Lee Jeong-jae’s body moved, the faster it adapted to the new strength.
Is it because the opponent is ranked 2nd in the world?
Every time we clashed our swords, I felt like I was growing.
On the one hand, I was able to realize how huge the gap was between me and Cody Cruise.
Suddenly.
Cody Cruz’s sword cut off one of Lee Jung-jae’s arms.
“Is this what the president of the association told you to do?”
Cody Cruz continued his attack without saying a word.
Suddenly.
Another arm was cut off.
Fortunately, the other arm had finished regenerating in the meantime.
“You… come into the Taesan guild. “I will give you everything.”
Jeongjae Lee said, widening the distance.
With that alone, I felt the pleasure of a strong person showing generosity to another strong person.
Cody Cruz continued his attack without saying a word.
“It’s a shame.”
Tiring.
[Skill Demonization (SSS) has been activated.]
[Skill Dystopia (SSS) has been activated.]
The huge bedroom was stained with a purple swamp.
“Did you still think you were the strongest in the world?”
Purple skin.
Nails that grow sharp.
Poisonous magical power.
Incomplete demon race.
Lee Jeong-jae, who had transformed into the form of a higher-species monster, chuckled.
“I lost my mind after being pushed away by Kim Tae-hyun.”
“….”
“It was better. “It would be right to break a sword that cannot be used.”
After saying that, Lee Jeong-jae swung his sharp claws.
* * *
“Kaha…!!”
Lee Jeong-jae, whose ‘demonization’ was lifted, collapsed with blood pouring out.
The red eye shook violently.
This can’t be happening.
No, it shouldn’t be like this.
He is a chosen being.
Not even Taehyun Kim.
There is no way I would kneel to someone like that who was pushed around by that guy.
But reality was cold.
As if it were a reaper’s scythe.
Cody Cruz’s sword was raised high.
‘I can’t die like this…!!’
Contrary to Lee Jeong-jae’s wishes.
The sword came down from top to bottom.
Suddenly.
Tuk.
Lee Jeong-jae’s body, strengthened through countless experiments and training, collapsed without strength.
Degurrrrr.
The neck, separated from the body, rolled on the floor.
“….”
Without saying anything.
Cody Cruz looked down at Lee Jung-jae.
* * *
Degurr.
Lee Jeong-jae’s neck rolled on the bedroom floor.
Blood was drawn along the rolling area.
Neither red nor black.
purple.
It was blood that could not be considered human.
Toouk.
My rolling head hit the furniture and stopped.
Until then, Cody Cruz had not lifted his sword and had stabbed his body and head.
I was watching a body that was separated into two.
suddenness.
Tsuzzzzzz.
head and body.
Purple magical energy flowed from the cut side of the body and continued like a string.
Degurrr. Degurrrrr.
Like winding up.
The head that had stopped moving began to roll to the other side.
Tuk.
The neck, which had been rolling for a while, stuck to the body.
Coo. Cough.
It’s like putting back the head of a figure that was pulled out.
Two hands moved my head back and forth.
Lee Jeong-jae, whose head was in the right direction, stood up.
All that remains is a scar.
It could be said to be a perfect joint surgery.
Lee Jeong-jae, who suddenly opened his red eyes, opened his mouth.
[It’s been a while, Cody Cruz. Or should I say Lucifer’s hound?]
“….”
In the words of Kasim Jort.
Cody Cruz quietly raised his sword.
