Regressing with the King’s Power - Chapter 558
Episode 558:
The Elyos were not the only ones who felt the huge tremor.
While the enemies were distracted, Rosaria tore apart the two Demigod Absolutes.
I encountered Taehyeon, who was holding the dragon slayer sword, the source of the shaking.
‘Save your strength, contractor.’
One of the great dukes here.
No, even if both of them die.
‘Conservation of your power is of utmost importance.’
It seemed like he was saying that.
Taehyun shook his head.
The Dragon Slayer Sword has already become a weapon that is no different from a miracle in itself.
The current scene is a technique that applies the magical power contained in the sword and the power of the elements.
It’s called a general-purpose anti-Elyos killing machine.
This is a technology that Typhon is most likely using in the 4th Heaven.
Magic power and stamina consumption converge to zero.
The embarrassed Elyos used their divine power to resist, and without missing a chance, the lava surged in like a tidal wave and engulfed them.
Although there was virtually no damage to absolute self-sufficiency, quite a few Elyos from the 3 Heavenly Realm were extinct.
Hephaestus stuttered to find out the source of the technology.
[Isn’t this the power of the Giant King? Can something like this be used?]
Unlike his habit of stuttering, he didn’t look embarrassed.
If you smelt that sword with an anvil because it looks good for applying heat to the anvil, you can use it as a tool.
The blacksmith muttered to himself, observing the changes in the properties of the elements.
And suddenly.
thud.
The guy hit the ground with a hammer.
Damn it.
A small crack appeared.
Blah blah blah.
Radiance soared from the crack that spread like a spider’s web.
The disaster caused by Taehyun was sucked in there.
[The more I look at that sword, the more interested I become. Hand it over to God.]
The blacksmith stared at the dragon slayer sword with eyes filled with greed.
It seemed as if the sword itself contained the power of the great dukes.
‘….’
Whoop.
I sighed.
This is because it does not seem easy to subdue that stuttering absolute using only the power contained in the dragon slayer sword.
At this point, one might doubt Tolkien’s words that he was superior to Hephaestus.
I composed myself while thinking of the dwarfs who must be suffering in Middle-earth right now.
‘Tolkien. ‘Keep the tower upright.’
I hope the dwarf recognizes his hard work.
Taehyun raised the dragon slayer sword again.
“Blacksmith. Have you ever had your divine powers taken away?”
Toward Hephaestus, who tilts his head.
I aimed the dragon slayer sword that was beginning to be engulfed in blood-red magic.
* * *
The situation is neither good nor bad, but a tight battle.
All of the Elyos who are dealing with the Demons and the Sea Currents are showing more power than expected.
Just like monsters from the underworld who receive Elven support.
As time passed, it was getting worse.
I glanced at the divine beast that I could clearly see even from a distance.
Even though less than 10 minutes had passed since arriving at the Second Heaven, a considerable number of monsters disappeared.
The longer it is delayed, the worse it becomes for the summer.
‘Hurry, Elven.’
We haven’t deviated from the plan yet.
As soon as the battle began, the Elven used stealth to escape the battlefield.
The time promised to take control of Shinsu was 15 minutes.
Although it is still too early to say that it is the promised time.
‘The presence of Shinsu is unusual.’
Taehyun frowned as he looked at the large divine beast dispersing its noble divine power.
The power of existence is ‘twice’ that of the divine beasts in the 10th and 7th heavens.
‘The divine beasts of the 2nd and 3rd heavens resonate… or are they combined…?’
Since they have been living side by side with Shinsoo for a long time, it would not be unreasonable for them to make the impossible possible.
Of course, if that is the case, the burden on the Elven increases exponentially.
There’s no way they wouldn’t have done anything to deal with something like that.
‘You have to get their attention.’
So that the Elven can access the Divine Beasts more easily.
So that we can pull out all the traps prepared by the heavenly guys.
So sure that it couldn’t be blocked by Hephaestus’ grab.
Than Rosaria uses power.
‘I’d rather use it myself.’
Taehyun smashed the dragon slayer sword he had been swinging meaninglessly into the ground.
Several Absolutes were torn to pieces around them.
The small things that stuck while Hephaestus was defending.
“I admit it, blacksmith. Thanks to you, I got to nag Rosaria.”
[Well, have you given up?]
Hephaestus muttered.
“Honestly, I don’t know how your weapon works.”
[Hahaha, don’t make the obvious sound obvious….]
“But. This side has its side too.”
[…?]
“Just because you’re alive, the dwarves and dragons are being dishonored.”
[I would understand if you were a dwarf in the underworld, but why the dragon race?]
Taehyun gestured with his chin and pointed at the dragon slayer sword.
“The one who sacrificed himself to make this sword was the leader of the dragon clan. Bordeaux of the blue clan. He was a man who would do anything for his species.”
[….]
Whatever it is.
Whether it’s made from dragon scales, bone, or with eyeballs embedded in it.
What does it have to do with you?
It was as if he was asking that question.
“Whether you meant it or not. You insulted them Hephaestus.”
Face to face with the blacksmith who doesn’t understand anything.
Wow.
Taehyun unlocked 10% of his spiritual power.
[Oh, you also use divine power?]
It seemed like Rosaria could be heard shouting along with the blacksmith’s muttering.
He didn’t answer and held the dragon slayer sword.
Sssssss.
The dragon slayer sword that received divine power hid its owner’s presence.
[Oh.]
Hephaestus was not embarrassed and quietly wrapped around the brilliance.
He is a blacksmith.
It’s not suitable for combat.
Nevertheless, the force in the 2nd heaven is within the ten fingers.
It is a reputation created by the masterpiece that it has all put on and held.
There is nothing to see about Hephaestus without his armor except for his strength, but he is what he is now.
[After all, even my father can’t do anything.]
The brilliance of the armor and hammer became darker.
He expressed his intention to use his body to block whatever attack the King of Hagye attempted and deliver a fatal blow.
at that time.
“Good posture.”
[…!!]
Taehyun appeared from behind Hephaestus.
Grumbling.
Tentacles emitting purple brilliance wrapped around the armor.
[Huh?]
Hephaestus was thinking about how to respond to the unexpected attack.
Phew.
New magic power.
A foreign energy pierced through the armor.
A blood-stained brilliance was stuck in the shape of a sword.
There is no shock.
only.
Tsuzzzzzzzz.
Divine power was escaping through the sword.
The more I moved my body, the more I tried to escape, the faster I got sucked in.
[This is what it is…]
Hephaestus held the blood sword.
Chii Iik.
Another masterpiece of his.
The armor, which could even briefly catch Zeus’ thunderbolt, melted quickly.
[Uh huh…?]
“That’s a bad choice.”
Phew.
A purple thorn pierced through my chest.
It is an unfamiliar pain to the blacksmith god wearing the strongest armor.
Argh.
Hephaestus screamed without realizing it.
Kwasik.
Spear of Longinus.
The weapons used by the guys from the 7th Heavenly Realm pierced my thigh.
Argh!!
Kagak.
A sword made of gray brilliance pierced his shoulder.
Ugh!!
singly. singly.
Hephaestus’s screams grew stronger as more weapons were lodged in his body.
Before I knew it, the Absolutes and Elyos of the area were watching Taehyeon and Hephaestus.
“Louder!!”
Phew.
Argh!!
“Scream more!!”
Kwasik.
Argh!!
more. more. more. more.
As if it were a hedgehog, the blacksmith’s body accepted countless weapons.
[Father… please save me… it hurts…]
That voice is so pitiful.
How servile that attitude is.
Those who watched Hephaestus sniffling frowned.
One absolute being that the 2nd Heavenly Realm has nurtured with great care is breaking everyone’s morale.
[You idiot!!]
Zeus, who could not tolerate the current situation, tried to throw a thunderbolt.
Phew.
The demon king’s thorn pierced Zeus’ right arm.
[Are you looking at the main horse in front of you?]
Cheeeeeeeek.
The poison penetrated and the brilliance turned black.
The Thunder God’s massive arms gradually shrunk.
It was degenerated using the power of evolution.
That was just the beginning.
Hahahahaha.
The purgatory she summoned began to encroach on the thundercloud.
[Puuuuuuu.]
Jormungand also did not miss the opportunity and expanded the ‘sky’.
The presence of monsters and archdukes has increased significantly.
Argh. Argh.
Even then, Hephaestus’ screams continued, and many who tried to help were stopped or paid with their lives.
“Scream a little more!! Try it properly!!”
This was around the time when Taehyun started sticking his tentacles in.
Kiiii-.
The divine power emanating from the divine beast of the 2nd heaven became stronger.
sheen.
The brilliance of the Divine Beast descended upon the realm dominated by Heaven and Purgatory.
The two archdukes’ domains resisted for a while.
Shouts erupted from everywhere.
The monster’s body that touched the brilliance disappeared without a trace.
‘Was it this?’
A hidden trap.
It compresses the divine power of the divine beast and disintegrates things other than those who wield the divine power.
No matter how elven you are.
If it had touched the divine beast in its current state, it would have caused reflux.
It was around that time that changes occurred in Hephaestus’ body.
Fighting. Patter.
The weapons that had been inserted one by one were thrown out.
‘Completely regenerate and grow the Elyos who grew up under the influence of the Divine Beast.’
It’s an interesting trap.
Taehyeon praised the cards hidden by the enemies.
Gilfer and Jormungand were seen being torn apart by the enemy’s suddenly stronger offensive.
With the current brilliance, it seemed like at least two Absolutes had reached the level of a Heavenly Master.
[Contractor!!]
As Rosaria shouted, a vicious hammer aimed at her head.
Sigh.
Taehyun caught the blacksmith’s attack.
“It’s heavy.”
[Uh, why…]
He clearly recovered completely.
Thanks to the power of the divine beast, the ship has become stronger than before.
He looks like he doesn’t understand why his attack is blocked.
“Ask this guy about that.”
Sigh!!!
Taehyun drove the dragon slayer sword into the blacksmith’s skull.
and.
10% of magical power has been released.
Ugh.
The sleeping maw appeared.
“It’s a special meal.”
Eat it up, predation.
* * *
I once made a promise to Tolkien.
I will save my compatriots who were taken to the upper world.
Hephaestus is the absolute leader who is called the greatest blacksmith in the upper world and treats them as little more than useful tools or anvils.
I will prove to him that the dwarves’ talents are not inferior.
[May the Meister’s tools be with you, brother.]
I don’t need that kind of protection.
The small-bodied dwarf said so while handing over a modified dragon slayer sword.
Originally, I had planned to remodel it one more time before starting the race war.
Although it was improved with Hazard’s bones, as Taehyun grew, the fatigue accumulated on the sword did not easily recover.
And now.
As he became the King of the Underworld, he fully channeled his ever-greater power into the Dragon Slayer Sword.
Predation.
The vicious maw was summoned through the dragon slayer sword.
The reason he used his power through the broken sword was not just to save power.
Tolkien’s masterpiece, Dragon Slayer.
I will somehow keep my promise to this guy that I will deal with Hephaestus with this guy.
‘It’s my stubbornness.’
Quad Deuk!!!
[Ah ah ah… Buzz…!!!]
Hephaestus screamed, but it didn’t last long.
The maw swallowed him whole.
Rattling.
The dragon slayer trembled.
Predation is the power to take all the risks and benefits of a swallowed being.
The presence of Hephaestus, strengthened by divine beasts, and the weapons he was wearing is by no means light.
The power gained from predation a moment ago can be called predation in another sense.
“Once you start, you have to finish it, Tolkien.”
The vibrating dragon slayer sword was not withdrawn.
Either you can digest it and become stronger, or you can’t digest it and it just breaks down.
If things go well, it’s his fault for using the sword skillfully, and if things go wrong, it’s Tolkien’s fault for making the sword poorly.
I finished rationalizing on my own.
Burr. Burr.
This is when the dragon slayer sword, which understood its master’s intention, was trembling violently and concentrating on extinguishing the fire.
[…King of the Underworld!!!]
A loud sound was heard in the air.
and.
thud.
A second prey wearing silver armor appeared.
