Regressing with the King’s Power - Chapter 442
Episode 442
‘It’s huge.’
That was the first feeling that came to Taehyun’s mind when he felt the energy of the giants unfolding before his eyes.
Like the masters of the three heavens, Grand Duke Lucifer has never met.
The energy they gave off made Taehyeon, who had achieved the status and presence of a grand duke, feel frustrated.
It is known that the Grand Duke cannot deal with a Heavenly Master outside his territory.
Lucifer, who received the power of the King of the Underworld, is beyond even such common sense.
[Amazing. It is impossible for his power to increase so much in such a short period of time.]
[As expected, the King of the Lower World is someone who should not be left alive.]
[…The King of the Upper World will solve this problem. First of all, the priority is to suppress Lucifer in front of us.]
The three masters of the heavenly world assessed the power radiated by Lucifer.
Compared to the past when he was called the master of the 1000 world, his power was still insufficient, and it was difficult to believe that it had been amplified in a short period of time.
[Gandharva. We will deal with Lucifer, so you follow the King of the Underworld…]
Stop him.
This was before the master of the third heavenly world even finished speaking.
Quad deuk. Quad deuk.
Two new pairs of wings sprouted from Lucifer’s body.
[You’re saying a lot of nonsense.]
[What…]
[Do you still think you’re an Elyos even though you opened your blue eyes?]
The owner of the 3rd and 4th heavens frowned as he watched the gray magic power getting stronger.
I hate to admit it, but I feel like if we leave it like this, Lucifer will regain the power that made him the master of the first heaven.
What if they miss Lucifer here?
Unlike the Lower World King, whose goal is to compete with the Upper World King.
If Lucifer had a grudge against the Elyos, he would turn the heavens upside down as he saw them.
Since I knew the structure of the Upper World well, it wouldn’t take long to reach the 1st Heavenly Realm, where I came from.
[It seems that the priority is to do everything in our power to catch Lucifer in the ‘outskirts’ of this place.] The
other masters agreed to the words of the master of the 2nd heaven.
In that moment, Lucifer opened his huge wings, symbolizing the Absolute One of the Heavenly World.
Although it may have lost its unique brilliance, its power, burning with gray magical power, far surpassed that of the absolute.
Kagak. Kagak. Kagagagak.
Lucifer flapped his four pairs of wings and clapped his two swords.
The energy waves that formed each time irritated the nerves of the three heavenly masters.
[Humans chosen by God. [There is nothing good about pretending to be with a guy who has the power of reincarnation.]
So, I told him not to disturb the guy who left first and to just focus on himself.
[Did you choose to become the King of the Underworld’s dog? Considering your origins, this is an extremely ridiculous behavior.]
Despite the mockery of the master of the second heaven, Lucifer was not shaken in the slightest.
The master of the upper world and the grand duke of the lower world.
Elyos from the upper world and monsters from the lower world.
This is because they feel once again that they are anxious because they cannot eat each other, but in fact there is not much difference.
[Didn’t that guy say that? Partner.]
Lucifer smiled coldly and his wings flapped.
[I am here as the Grand Duke of the Underworld.]
The power of ‘rebirth’ surrounded the three heavenly masters.
[Do your best when dealing with the Archduke. God’s failures.]
Lucifer’s sword was cut.
Quagwagwagwagwa.
The blue sky split.
‘crazy.’
Taehyun cursed and watched the huge battle.
And suddenly.
Hwaaaah.
Gwanghwi began to stir once again.
‘No… just a little more….’
I want to see this huge battle just a little longer.
I want to know the end of this battle.
Even though Taehyun aspired to follow those who surpass me.
The light of brilliance never seemed to fade.
Tiring.
[Trace of memories ends.]
[Skill Memorize (???) has been unlocked.]
Huaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah?
With a blinding light.
[…it’s still early…for you…]
Noname’s voice that seemed to say that was the only thing that echoed in my head.
* * *
When I opened my eyes, all I saw was blue sky.
Unlike the earth, where pure white clouds floated sparsely, it was nothing but blue.
It looked similar to the red sky of the Abyss, only the colors were contrasting.
‘Is this… upper world…?’
The last scene in my memory was right under the blue sky.
Taehyun’s suspicions were perfectly reasonable.
‘….’
The confusion did not last long.
I thought about how I ended up in the same situation I am now.
As the Elven had told me, the moment when Rosaria Typhon Gilfer’s magic was boiling over while assimilating with the Divine Beast to contact the Void Rock.
And so, the moment when I was sucked into one of the gates in front of me.
‘It’s a disaster.’
Because the risk of accessing Void Rock was so high, I planned to take a little more time to implement it.
However, I was suddenly moved in a situation where I was completely unprepared.
‘What do I have to do to get back…’
It was a moment when I was thinking about that and looking around the surroundings, which were almost like empty fields.
Tiring.
[Quest ‘Traces of the Underworld (???)’ has been created.]
[Success reward – ‘???’]
[Time limit – 1 hour, 1 minute and 59 seconds…. 58 seconds…. 57 seconds. […]
I was surprised to learn that the status window worked even in the upper world.
[‘Great power’ penetrates. Some resistance was achieved with ‘mysterious power’.]
[Skill use is restricted.]
[Magic use is restricted.]
‘What…?’
Taehyun looked frustrated at the successive messages.
‘Management of magical power is not natural in the upper world.’
That’s because the Elven’s words came to mind too late.
In a sudden situation, there is no time to look at the status window.
‘…!!’
I felt a huge presence.
An energy that is foreign yet experienced once.
Like Eir Skal, the Valkyrie who was killed by Igmun.
‘Elyos!!’
Taehyun hurriedly looked around for cover, but there was no way he could hide in a place that was almost like an empty field.
Even though there is still quite a bit of distance left.
[this. Gula here. Unthinkable. A slave was found.]
The voice of the Elyos who recognized Taehyeon was heard vividly in my ears.
It’s a waste of money.
While Taehyun was thinking this, the Elyos in question approached him.
‘big.’
Just like the felt presence, it was like seeing another side of Orgal, as his body itself was 3 meters tall.
Of course, the appearance of the skin and bones was the exact opposite.
That was not all about its unusual appearance.
Burn marks were visible here and there on the body, where the bone skin was exposed.
An unidentifiable piece of cloth was covering the body sparsely.
It was far from the Elyos that Taehyun saw in his memories.
‘Isn’t it the Absolute One?’
[Hmm. Looking at your outfit. Not usually a slave. I think it’s the Absolute’s ‘pet’?]
The guy tilted his head, looking around at Taehyun in a hoarse voice.
He muttered to himself that he didn’t know why a pet was wandering around in a place like this, without any warning.
‘It is dangerous to attack hastily.’
I wonder where this place is in the Upper World.
I wasn’t quite sure what the message that came to mind a moment ago meant.
Taehyun looked behind the guy who was talking to himself.
“…!!”
There, a humanoid monster with a small body and a bushy beard was bound there.
Although they looked different, they were not the only ones like that.
‘Monster…? Is this guy catching monsters…?’
This is the moment when Taehyun thought that.
[Gula. decision. [I did.]
The guy who rambled alone came to a conclusion and turned to Taehyun.
There was a sinister look in his eyes.
[The pet that ran away. Even if I catch it again. It’ll be a problem. No. Even if I sell it again. It won’t be a problem.]
“….”
[Here. come. You are a slave hunter. Gula himself. I will take it from you.]
Then, the moment when brilliance seemed to gather in his hands.
A chain identical to the one binding the monster behind was created.
[Thoughts of running away. It’s better not to do it. It makes Gula angry. The slave who saved his life. None.]
Contrary to his appearance, his speaking style is more choppy.
Rather than speaking about myself in the third person.
‘A slave hunter or something else has this kind of existence…?’
Taehyun was surprised by the fighting spirit shown by the skinny guy.
‘No, no.’
Taehyun shook his head.
It’s not that the guy in front of me is great, it’s that his own power has been reduced.
I once again realized how limited the power the Valkyries of the Underworld used was.
[Your origin. History. I will listen to it gradually. first. From this…]
Gula, who had come right in front of us, bent down and held up a round chain.
It meant sticking your head in there.
‘….’
I didn’t know that the moment I put my head in there, I would end up in the same situation as the monsters caught behind me.
Once that happens, you will truly be in an irreversible situation.
‘If that’s the case…’
I’ll try it.
The thought of having to take care of myself was everywhere.
Taehyun released his magic power.
A meager magical energy flowed out that could not be compared to what was expected.
[The grades are remeasured.]
[The grades of all skills are measured as F.]
‘What…?’
I was momentarily taken aback by the unexpected message.
I barely managed to avoid Gula’s hands trying to forcibly put chains on me.
Although the magic power itself was limited, it was possible because the physical abilities themselves were intact.
I used the skill right away.
Tiring.
[Skill Knight King’s Tempest (F) has been activated.]
Kuung.
Although the weak gravity was pressing on Gula’s body.
[hmm…? you. Runaway slave. Pet. To Gula. What. Did you do that?]
The guy who wasn’t shocked at all just tilted his head.
Tiring.
[Skill Dragon’s Rage (F) has been activated.]
[Skill Dragon’s Rage (F) has been activated.]
‘There is no answer.’
Only then did you realize the situation you were in.
Taehyun quickly moved his feet.
* * *
[You… stupid guy!!]
Rosaria shouted in front of the Divine Beast.
The person who said that was, of course, Typhon.
Rosaria, who heard about the situation through the Elven, is reprimanding Typhon along with Gilfer.
[Bobonsin didn’t know that the contractor had been assimilated with the divine beast…]
[Don’t make cowardly excuses!!]
As Rosaria shouted angrily, Typhon slumped his shoulders.
Although he is able to endure even the tentacles that Rosaria deliberately wields, he is particularly hurt by her harsh words.
[I never thought the Giant King would have this
kind of side…] [Such an idiot…]
Gilfer and the Elven looked at him pitifully.
But that was only for a moment.
They put their heads together and came up with a solution.
It was fortunate that Orgal and Hazard left to take care of their own forces.
[He is already a contractor who is no different from a grand duke. Won’t he come back on his own?]
Typhon expressed his opinion, citing Taehyun’s strength.
Rosaria shook her head after hearing the Elven’s words.
[The Fairy King said. It is said that if you go to the upper world with the power of a divine beast, you will not be able to use magical power for a while.]
This is because the power of the upper world suppresses the power of the lower world.
Even the Elven said that at first, all they could do was move while keeping their presence out of sight.
It was said that the reason the beings of the lower world were able to exert their power in the upper world during the race war was because the king of the lower world canceled out the king of the upper world’s magic.
[Elven. Is there no way for the contractor to return?]
Rosaria asked in the Elven’s mind.
[There is nothing that can be done here. At most, it would be to protect the divine beast.]
[….]
[Depending on its presence, there will be a limited time for staying there. If it’s the contractor’s presence… maybe an hour.]
One hour.
Rosaria, who had passed the message to Gilfer and Typhon, nodded with an anxious face.
[Let’s pray that nothing bad happens until then.]
I’m sure they won’t do something reckless like engage in battle with the Elyos in an unstable state.
Even as Rosaria muttered to herself, she couldn’t hide her anxiety.
