Regressing with the King’s Power - Chapter 417
Episode 417
Taehyun looked around.
It was so desolate that it could not be said to be the world of her imagination that I had seen before.
Diablo’s Horn.
He must have been fooled by the red and purple magic power emanating from the Archduke’s thoughts.
“Guild leader Yoo Ah-young. “I guess he’s more popular with the archdukes than he looks.”
Taehyun joked when he saw Yoo Ah-young, whom he hadn’t seen in a long time.
They said it was a spare.
He was also afraid of being encroached upon by the power of the Archduke.
It was clearly the highest species, with perfect red eyes and overflowing with sinister magic.
Even Kasim Jort would not be able to look this perfect.
‘Because he gave up being human and became a complete monster.’
The corners of Ayoung’s mouth turned up slyly as she looked at Taehyun.
The sight was familiar yet unfamiliar.
“Rosaria’s real contractor came to visit us in person.”
It was clearly Ayoung’s voice.
Taehyun wasn’t so simple that he couldn’t see the insidiousness in it.
“Diablo.”
A being who entered Ayoung’s mental world and succeeded in completely dominating her body.
The name of the man who was once a complete archduke was mentioned.
In my memory, he must have been destroyed by the king.
How could such a guy appear on Earth, which is not even the Abyss?
Taehyun’s eyes landed on the foreign object growing on Ayoung’s head.
One of the three sources of power possessed by higher-ranking demons.
The horn of the great devil.
It was too small to be said to belong to an archdemon, let alone an archduke, but that alone revealed an undeniable presence.
Although it is weak, it probably contains the power of Diablo.
That weak power would have created the current situation.
I was able to infer it without difficulty.
‘Has it completely eroded Rosaria’s magical power? This is dangerous.’
We already knew that she rose to the top of the players while Taehyun and Cody Cruz were away.
It was also not difficult to predict that he would have achieved explosive growth as he became accustomed to handling the power planted by Rosaria.
But only because it looks the same now.
“The reunion after a long time was ruined.”
Taehyun clicked his tongue and strengthened his purple magic power.
This is her imagined world controlled by Archduke Diablo.
The plan was to use ‘Ataraxia’ to regain ownership of her body.
However.
“Kick…kick….”
Ayoung burst into an uncharacteristically frivolous laugh.
“I can’t believe a contractor like Rosaria is being so stubborn. “It seems like there have been a lot of useful bugs while the main demon was sleeping.”
Cough. Coo.
Her fingernails grew long and a pair of wings spread out on her back.
It is ‘demonized’.
“It’s too much to say it’s just an image world.”
When using the body of an archdemon, the strain on the body is considerable.
If Ayoung’s spirit was used excessively in this situation, there was a high risk that her spirit would collapse.
He grumbled for a moment, saying that he could easily use the skills he had worked so hard to obtain.
Instead of the purple magic power that Taehyun had calmed down, he unleashed dark blue magic power.
The card was changed to ‘Demonization’ to drain stamina.
“That power!! “It’s Gorper’s!!”
Diablo, excitedly borrowing Ayoung’s body, shouted.
“We’ll talk quickly.”
Taehyun suggested a bet.
How about the one who wins taking ownership of the body?
Diablo exploded into laughter and refused.
“The more bodies, the better. “Your body is already as good as your original demon’s.”
Why are you making such a suggestion?
Then, he aimed at Taehyun’s body with his extended fingernails.
Kyaang!!
Taehyun didn’t care and struck away his thorn-like nails.
It looked as if great demons were clashing.
‘I’m embarrassed.’
I clicked my tongue at the unpleasant situation.
What Ayoung was emitting was no longer Rosaria’s magic power.
The same goes for the power being radiated.
A new power that is fundamentally different from ambition.
My body seemed to be stiffened by the power of ‘fear’.
‘Is this even in an imperfect state?’
They say the Grand Duke is the Grand Duke.
Taehyun acknowledged its enormous presence.
“Come to think of it, this has happened before.”
He muttered as he struck away her claws that were fiercely aimed at him.
3 years ago.
It was Rosaria’s magic that swallowed her up.
It seemed similar to the current situation in that he had subdued her who was running away.
Of course, the difference was that now she had achieved incredible growth and was embracing the Archduke’s power even more deeply.
In addition to the power of Rosaria, I also accepted the fragments of Diablo.
Except for Taehyun, there is no one else who can subdue her.
I stepped back and widened the distance.
“Where are you running away like that? “There is no way out.”
Yoo Ah-young flapped his wings and closed the distance in an instant.
Taehyun used his spirit to slow down Ayoung’s movements.
“You even use the power of the dragon clan!!”
Diablo was glad to see Taehyun’s strength exceeding his expectations.
This is exactly what he wants.
This is the body you want.
He expressed his blatant desire for a stronger body.
“There is no point pouring out nonsense carefully.”
Taehyun said that and looked at his body.
Since it is a world of images, there is no problem with high-speed playback.
What is used here instead of magical power is mental power.
From Diablo’s perspective, it wouldn’t have mattered if her spirit was destroyed, but Taehyun’s situation was different.
‘I can’t help it.’
Taehyun’s preferred fighting method is very close combat.
In the ‘demonized’ state, it was difficult to engage in a proper fight.
She wanted to use Beelzebub’s poisonous magic, but doing so would only further shake her unstable spirit.
The same goes for ‘predation’.
Above all, it was unclear how Diablo would react when faced with the power of the king.
‘That Beelzebub guy caused a fight.’
That’s what a downtrodden guy does.
Diablo, who has tasted death, may lose control and go berserk.
In the current situation, it is not a leftover talent, but a true attack method.
A simpler method seemed appropriate.
When it comes to variables, the fewer variables, the better.
“I have to beat it up and take it out.”
‘Demonization’ was lifted.
Right after.
Quad deuk.
Brown magical energy bloomed from the body that used ‘Demon Beast Fire’.
“Old man. Have you ever heard of Orgal?”
“…!!”
Diablo was impressed by the stronger magical power.
Ignoring that reaction.
Ancient Chinese martial arts fifth form penetrator.
Quang!!
A merciless attack followed.
* * *
Taebaek, the first form of the new Korean ancient martial art.
Pop!!
Yoo Ah-young’s body, which was hit directly by Tae-hyeon’s hand, was bent abnormally.
And it immediately achieved high-speed playback.
Puff poop poop.
Long nails dug into Taehyun’s chest.
Even with just one horn, it was using power that was comparable to that of an arch-demon.
“I will ask. “How can humans contain such power?”
Are you a contractor for Beelzebub?
Diablo asked that question.
‘It’s gibberish.’
Taehyun felt a sense of déjà vu from what he said.
It was a feeling I had felt before when dealing with Gorper in the past.
‘Is this guy’s memory not complete?’
If you think about it, it’s natural.
This guy has already disappeared once.
No matter what it took to be resurrected.
There is no way there is no risk.
Typhon and Elven.
It was easy to infer it by looking at their actions immediately after resurrection.
“One won’t do it.”
Immediately after, a red horn sprouted on Ayoung’s forehead.
Another horn was artificially created using her body.
The power that was oppressing Taehyun was further strengthened.
“…!!”
I couldn’t breathe as it felt like my whole body was being stabbed with a knife.
Those who resist Taehyun’s spirit must feel this way.
“It really is a great body. “This is truly amazing mental strength.”
Clap clap clap.
Diablo applauded as he watched Taehyun resist his power.
How disgusting it is to treat Ayoung’s appearance so casually.
Taehyun frowned without realizing it.
That appearance was interpreted differently by Diakblo.
“That’s right. “I wonder how much you can endure.”
Kuddddd.
A third horn was created.
I haven’t been able to create the tail and magic stone yet.
With that alone, I could feel the presence of the three or so great devils that had been installed on Earth.
Phew.
Extended nails.
A sharp thorn pierced Taehyun’s shoulder.
Phew.
Another thorn pierced Taehyun’s leg.
I felt a firm determination not to miss out.
“Obey.”
The remnants of the Archduke who were right in front of us gave an order.
Taehyun raised his hand and grabbed her shoulder.
“You came here on your own.”
“…?”
The guy with Ayoung’s face looked like he didn’t know what was going on.
There was no answer to the question.
From now on, you will feel it with your own body.
Kiiiiing-
Kiiiiing-
I created two magic stones within my body.
In a world of images dominated by red and purple magic.
Hahahahaha.
Dark red magic bloomed and darkness fell.
“…!!”
Yoo Ah-young’s body flinched as she felt something unusual.
He sensed the energy of the being who defeated him from the dark red magic power.
“It’s already late.”
Taehyun strengthened ‘Apocalypse’.
Sigh. Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
The ‘chain of restraint’ was wrapped around Ayoung’s body.
Magical power was sucked in through the chain.
The absorbed magic power quickly filled the demon and vampire magic stones.
The appearance of cowering from the power of ‘fear’ just moments ago was nowhere to be seen.
Diablo seemed unable to acknowledge the fact that even though he had three horns, his powers did not work.
“When did you become an enemy archduke?”
Remnants, etc.
Like fragments.
“You were storing enormous power without knowing the subject.”
Taehyun mocked Diablo.
“I have already obtained the power of the Archduke myself.”
A huge spirit weighed down Ayoung’s body.
The evil beast’s hand grabbed her shoulder as if it would break it and did not let go.
“…!!”
But he realized that he had fallen into a trap.
“Gotcha, Diablo.”
It was already too late.
* * *
Taehyun no longer hid his strength.
The world of images was shaken by the magical power unleashed with all its might.
Through the chain that is wrapped around Ah-young, through the nails she drove into, and through the hand that Tae-hyun is holding.
The enormous magical power was quickly absorbed.
I was planning on absorbing the parasitic power of Diablo like this.
Purple and red magical energy was seen writhing in Yoo Ah-young’s body.
Eventually, Diablo came out of Yoo Ah-young’s body.
Otherwise, he would have been sucked into Taehyun.
[What a ridiculous guy.] He said
he couldn’t believe how humans could use this kind of power.
He said that the only person who pushed him to this level was ‘that guy’ who destroyed him.
The guy muttered to himself.
[There’s no way you’re that guy.]
“You still don’t understand the situation.”
Taehyun mockingly imitated Diablo’s tone of voice.
He ridiculed the Archduke’s imperfect memory, saying that nightmares repeat themselves.
“Don’t worry, Diablo.”
Then, the power that there was no longer any reason to hide was released.
Ugh.
A huge maw protruded from beneath my feet.
“I will personally send my regards to Beelzebub.”
[…!!]
There was no way for him to do anything.
Quad Deuk!!!
The maw of predation bit into the archduke’s thoughts.
That was the end of it.
