Regressing with the King’s Power - Chapter 445
Episode 445
Gula felt good.
This is because he obtained Taehyeon, who can be said to be the highest quality pet, following the pet that escaped from Horus, the absolute ruler of the 10 heavens.
Catching the dwarf who escaped from Horus and ran near the temple was also a great achievement.
What satisfied him the most was the top quality product he had acquired through considerable hardship.
[Hehehe. It couldn’t be the slave that Gula caught. Like the Underworld King. Slave of the planet.]
Gula, drunk after drinking a lot of Marzen, was shaking his body and chuckling.
None of the passing Elyos stopped Gula.
Because I know how violent he becomes when he is upset.
[It looks like Gula captured some useful slaves this time.]
[I heard that he seems to have captured the escaped pet of Horus.]
[It is indeed Gula. It’s worth getting drunk like that.]
[Is that all? I think they also captured a human from a planet called Earth?]
[Hoo. That might be worth something. The gate to Earth can no longer be opened, right?]
[That’s right. I don’t know how something that can only be found in the underworld fell into Gula’s hands.] [
It seems like a divine beast has bloomed in the underworld. In case you missed it there by mistake…]
[Shh. Watch your mouth. Absolute beings are guarding the area around the divine beast.]
[Forget the blasphemous words from earlier.]
The whispering of the Elyos was heard in Gula’s ears.
Puh heh.
Gula did not hide his laughter.
This is because their every word was tantamount to acknowledging the value of the slaves they had captured.
A message has already been placed in Horus’ castle.
Horus, who was fanatical about his underworld pet, would definitely pay a large sum of money to take the dwarf back.
[If you come in person. Mr. Gula. I guess I should at least say hello.]
Is that all?
A new human captured by Horus who visited him once.
What if it shows the highest quality product?
Horus’s character will undoubtedly pay a large price.
Perhaps he would make himself a direct descendant of the Absolute.
Phuhahahaha.
[Gula. I’m back.]
Gula shouted and entered the auction house where his slaves were kept.
However, the atmosphere at the auction house was unusual.
[what. Is this work?]
Gula grabbed an Elyos passing by and asked in a drunken voice.
[…!!]
The expression on the face of the Elyos who was startled when they saw him was strange.
Gula’s expression frowned at the unusual atmosphere.
I have an ominous feeling.
just as expected.
The premonition was not wrong.
[Gula… All the slaves at the auction house ran away…]
[What…?]
[Don’t worry. The credibility of our auction house is at stake, so we must track it down quickly…!!]
The Elyos who had been caught and lifted by Gula struggled.
[Gula’s. Good quality. Top quality product. I hope it disappears. kill. Answer.]
The Elyos, who had become contemplative, answered in gibberish.
Crack.
Gula ripped out the Elyos’ head.
* * *
‘It’s a mess.’
That’s what Taehyun thought as he felt the noise outside.
[I never thought he would commit such a reckless act…]
Tolkien, clinging to one of Taehyun’s legs, muttered in a trembling voice.
That’s because they know that the current uproar in this area is because of them.
No, to be precise, the chaos started when Taehyun removed the chains of all the high-quality items in the auction house.
The monsters of the lower world that are classified as high-quality goods are all violent.
Some impatient monsters forgot their own situation and started running wild, and Taehyun left the auction house with Tolkien while the monsters were attracting attention.
His footwork was so fast and his strange technique of hiding his body was so perfect.
Before they knew it, they were able to enter the empty plain where Gula and Taehyun fought.
[It’s over there!!]
Tolkien, who was hiding by clinging to Taehyeon, shouted and pointed ahead.
Indeed, in the distance I could see a huge castle made of ocher-colored material.
‘That’s the temple.’
According to Tolkien, the temple was the only non-combat area in the 10 heavens.
Just by going in there, safety is guaranteed.
It was said that no one from the 10 heavenly realms was allowed to fight.
Taehyun looked at the time limit for the quest.
’20 minutes.’
If it’s long, it’s long. If it’s short, it’s small.
What is certain is that it doesn’t seem like a bad way to kill the remaining time.
It was not clear what the conditions for completing the quest were arbitrarily accepted.
Considering that it’s just a trace of the Underworld, wouldn’t it be possible to return to the Underworld in the form of a reverse summon if we stay together until the quest’s time limit runs out?
That’s just what I think.
[What is the force guarding the temple?]
[I don’t know either.]
[What?]
Tolkien gave excuses, saying that he had escaped after hearing that it was the only non-combat area in the 10 heavens.
‘Isn’t it a lie to say this is a meister?’
It seems that trust in Tolkien has plummeted.
Taehyun clicked his tongue at the dwarf who was giving strength to the hand that was grabbing his leg.
Still, I can’t help but come this far.
I walked quickly, hoping that there would be no Elyos inside the temple who would be able to detect my ‘hidden spirit’.
I can already feel a lot of popularity behind the scenes.
Some of the monsters that escaped from the auction house are running away to the temple with similar thoughts to Tolkien.
After that, it was natural that the Elyos from the auction house were chasing him.
past.
I remembered the moment when I ran away from Orgal’s castle with Cody Cruz and was chased by monsters.
‘I don’t know if he’s still alive.’
There is no time to waste in the Upper World where you cannot access the Void Rock.
While I was reminded that I had to return to the underworld as soon as possible and end the turf war, I arrived at the entrance to the temple.
‘Does it resemble the design of an altar rather than a castle?’
Taehyun raised his spirits and stormed inside.
There were just huge stone slabs erected here and there without anyone guarding them.
For some reason, an unusual energy was felt in each of the stone slabs.
Then a message occurred to me.
Tiring.
[Recognize the traces of a huge being.]
[Recognize the energy of a huge being.]
‘…There is something.’
As Taehyun thought that, he kept his distance and glared at the slate.
[What are you doing? Let’s go inside quickly!!]
Tolkien was unable to hide his trembling voice for fear of being overtaken by the Elyos.
It’s not wrong.
Taehyun couldn’t shake off his gloomy feeling and entered the temple.
Unlike the shabby exterior, the interior was neat.
They said it was a non-combat area, but there were no guards.
Ssssss.
The deepest part of the temple.
There, Taehyun, who had come out of hiding, sat cross-legged.
[What are you doing?]
Not only is it not enough to be out of hiding, but you can easily become a target if you sit out in the open like this.
Tolkien fidgeted and rambled.
[They say it’s a non-combat area anyway?]
[But still…]
[Don’t make a fuss. Because it interferes with regaining magical power.]
Taehyun said that and closed his eyes and concentrated.
Tolkien was still floundering next to him, but that didn’t matter to Taehyun, who had started to concentrate.
‘Magic power is unstable.’
The pure yet powerful magic power was shaking helplessly.
It was a flow so weak and strange that it would be embarrassing to even call it a regurgitation.
‘This is the King of Sanggye’s spell.’
He was able to seal his magical power that reached the Archduke’s domain to this extent.
He couldn’t help but be amazed, saying that it was truly an amazing deterrent.
On the other hand, I sympathized with the feelings of the Grand Dukes who were unable to unleash their full power due to the Underworld King’s spell.
‘Regain magical power.’
Tolkien called this a non-combat area.
In the first place, Taehyeon did not enter the temple with the intention of avoiding battle.
‘It is impossible to escape from the Elyos in the upper world anyway.’
Therefore, I had to regain my sealed magical power as quickly as possible and prepare for a proper battle.
‘Being treated like a commodity by a guy like Gula once is enough.’
Tiring.
[Skill Watcher’s Eye (F) has been strengthened.]
Ssssss.
There is unstable magic in the enemy’s eyes.
There is weak spiritual power in the blue eyes.
Two conflicting forces blazed with difficulty.
Taehyun recalled the background of the skill ‘Observer’s Eye’.
Gunne Eir Skal, commander of the Valkyrie Corps of the Seven Heavens.
Can’t we also ignore the fact that a contract was made with Igmun and Jormungand in the meantime?
‘What is most suspicious is the contract with them.’
After fulfilling the contract and leaving a trace of the faint rune obtained, the ‘Eye of the Highest Species’ changed into the ‘Eye of the Watcher’.
Rosaria said that Odd Eye was unlucky.
In any case, it was the only hint for Taehyun to survive in the upper world.
Taehyun forcibly collided with two forces that could not fully accept his magical power.
I remembered the moment when the Grand Dukes removed the Underworld King’s spell.
A limit that threatens to destroy one’s existence.
You just have to break through that limit.
‘You can escape from witchcraft.’
Tiring.
[Unstable magical power flows back.]
[Perceives a mysterious energy.]
Magical power and divine power.
As the two contrasting forces clashed, all kinds of messages emerged.
How much time has passed?
Tiring.
[The new stat ‘Holy Power’ has been registered.]
[The proficiency of the skill ‘Watcher’s Eye’ has increased.]
[The skill ‘Watcher’s Eye’ has been fully awakened.]
‘…!!’
Taehyun checked the status window.
Strength: 640 Stamina: 640 Speed: 645 Magic: 835 Spiritual Power: 50 Charisma: 650
Eye of the Watcher (F) – Opens the eyes of the Elyos. Magic Power: 40
The new stat ‘Spirit Power’ and the changed skill ‘Observer’s Eye’ caught my eye.
I tried using the skill right away.
Tiring.
[Skill Watcher’s Eye (F) has been activated.]
A small amount of new spiritual power is felt.
I could feel the energy symbolizing the Elyos being consumed.
at the same time.
Ssssss.
Both eyes were colored blue.
Following complete red eye, complete blue eye was opened.
‘These are the eyes of the Elyos.’
Everything in sight seemed blue.
Tolkien, who was watching from the side, shouted.
[Now, your two eyes…!!]
He was shocked when one of his eyes turned blue.
His gaze as he looked at Taehyun changed with the eyes that only the Elyos could possess.
[Sit down without making a fuss.]
Taehyun said in a much lighter voice.
From the moment I opened my blue eyes, I felt that the inhibitions that had been weighing down my body were weakening.
The thought didn’t last long.
‘Regain skills one by one.’
Tiring.
[Skill Watcher’s Eye (F) has been strengthened. The consumption of spiritual power accelerates.]
My vision, which had been blue, suddenly turned red.
This is because the blue eye is released and returns to the red eye.
[Skill Watcher’s Eye (F) has been released. [Not enough spiritual power.]
The message indicated that the spiritual power used to maintain the skill had run out.
I’ve found a way to unseal the skill, but I don’t have the strength to maintain my clear eyes.
Unlike his overflowing magical power, his spiritual power, which was only 50, was holding him back.
‘It’s a disaster.’
That’s when Taehyun was thinking that way.
The entrance to the temple became noisy.
After a while, the Elyos chasing them came in.
[What did I say!!]
Unlike Tolkien, who hurriedly hides himself in a corner of the temple.
Taehyun was happy to see the Elyos standing in front of him.
“Did the nutrients come to me on their own?”
This happened when there were less than 15 minutes left in the quest’s time limit.
