Regressing with the King’s Power - Chapter 82
Episode 82
Meanwhile, the second day of the Asian Player Friendly Match is drawing to a close.
Just like the day before, Taehyun was drinking tea at a cafe in Busan.
One difference is that there is a partner in front of you.
A man who drinks coffee silently without even looking into Taehyun’s eyes.
The infamous evil spirit looked like a puppy, only with a tail.
Eat.
When I saw that, laughter came out.
‘There’s no need to sympathize.’
There are many good players who lost their lives as a result.
There was no need for Taehyun to care about his feelings.
Instead, I looked around the screens installed throughout the cafe.
Neatly organized headlines from each newspaper and broadcasting station were flowing out.
‘No. 1 in New Korea green onion porridge. Still making steady saves on day 2.’
‘Kim Tae-hyun. Where does that power end? New Korean representatives aiming for the championship.’
‘Taiwan and Hong Kong Players Association. There are many strange things about the investigation into the deceased representative of our country.’
‘Asia’s largest mine cartel. ‘Two players died in a Triad attack.’
‘Ji Jin-hee, president of the association. He threatens that he will not make any compromises with Mine. A demon is another monster that exists on Earth.’
‘trot. New Korea player Kim Tae-hyun. S-rank demon samurai shinobi kappa hunting. Attached is a video of the on-site forensics team.’
‘Is Kim Tae-hyun even hunting down the triads? ‘The light and the dark about Samrodu, the best catch in a friendly competition.’
It’s all about friendly competition.
At the center of it all, Taehyun’s name was still floating around.
The residents are shrinking and the citizens are becoming more energetic.
“There is no more enjoyable pastime for good citizens.”
Taehyun said while looking at Ryohei Isaka, who had a dark expression on his face the entire time.
Only then did he open his mouth for the first time since entering the cafe.
“I will say one more time. “It is best not to touch Samrodu.”
“this. “I think things are different from when you first came to see me.”
It was only this morning that I came to Taehyun while hiding Gkungkkung.
Twice during the day.
Ryohei Isaka could keenly feel the gap between himself and Taehyun.
“….”
Taehyun continued, mocking him for remaining silent.
“You probably had no intention of helping me from the beginning. There are two conditions for the awakened person’s covenant with the saint. Have Kim Tae-hyun withdraw from the friendly match. “Take Kim Tae-hyun to the saint.”
“As expected… I knew.”
An absolute skill that even S-rank players and mines cannot refuse.
‘Complete hypnosis’.
This is Ryohei Isaka, who witnessed what Kenji Miyazaki looked like after being attacked.
It was natural for his expression to darken.
No, it was difficult to calm my slightly trembling body right away.
If Taehyun puts his mind to it, it will only take a moment for him to become Pain too.
“What are you going to do to me?”
“Ryohei Isaka. Let me nail it here again. I don’t like mine. And the guys who joined hands with those guys.”
“….”
“But we have to give him a chance for rehabilitation.”
“What if?”
“Please help me sincerely. I will also help fulfill the awakened oath.”
Ryohei Isaka’s eyes opened wide.
He was unable to keep his oath and was killed by a saint, but in order to fulfill his oath, he was killed by Taehyeon.
I thought there was no way for me to live anymore.
In such a situation, Taehyun, who realized everything, said that he would fulfill his pledge himself.
It was an incredible offer.
“Are you telling me to believe that?”
“The choice is yours.”
“….”
Ryohei Isaka’s head turned quickly.
If you refuse, you die.
But what if you accept the offer?
‘There are some doubts… but the possibility is not zero. But if this is also what Kim Tae-hyun intended….’
A series of thoughts with no answer one way or another.
“Trust me just once. “Maybe I can save you like you were saved by a saint, right?”
Smirk.
As I was looking at him in a dilemma, the corners of my mouth naturally went up.
It was midnight and the rankings were announced.
Taehyun turned his attention to the large screen.

[This is an amazing result. [New Korea is once again outpacing China’s rapid pursuit…]] An
excited announcer shouted, causing the cafe to become noisy.
‘It’s pretty.’
In a crucible of enthusiasm.
It was Taehyun who was watching the night view of Busan alone.

Day 3 of the Asian Player Friendly Tournament.
One of the triad hideouts located in Osaka, Japan.
An outsider appeared in a place that only a few executives knew about.
It was Xu Xin, China’s national team member and national power player.
He frowned as he passed through the warp gate.
This is because the man greeting her in front of her was different from what she thought.
“Hey, where’s Tetsu?”
“The boss is waiting upstairs. “I will guide you.”
A man in a suit bowed his head politely and said.
He was also an S-class demon belonging to the Japanese branch of the Triad Association.
Xu Xin was angry about the friendly match that did not go as expected.
“dare. Are you telling me to come or go? The arrogant bastard….”
“…!!”
Quang.
Xu Xin’s new form disappeared and slammed the man in front of him to the ground.
It happened in the blink of an eye.
This was the moment when those guarding the warp gate were about to use their skills due to an unexpected action.
The man grabbed by the neck raised his hand to stop their actions.
“Kkkkkkkk… He’s a guy with good sense. “If it had been just one second later, you all would have had your heads ripped off.”
“Cough… Mr. Xushin. The boss will be treated with respect….”
Quang.
Xu Xin once again lifted the man and slammed him down.
“dare.”
Quang.
“This body.”
Quang.
“Are you deceiving me?”
Quang.
“Small country bastards.”
Quang.
dump.
I just lifted it and plugged it in.
The S-class demon’s body could not withstand the force and blood spouted out.
“….”
“….”
“….”
The demons of the Triad who were watching from the side trembled.
Xu God, also known as the God of Strange Powers.
This is because I witnessed with my own eyes a power worthy of his great name.
“Now you finally understand the subject.”
Quang.
It was when Xu Xin was trampling on the fallen demon and trying to decide who to vent his anger on next.
“Mr. Xu Xin. Calm down. “We are not enemies.”
Upper floor with warp gate installed.
An elderly man appeared on the stairs there.
A member of the Samrodu and the man who controls the Japanese branch of the Triad.
He was a demon called Tetsu (鉄) in the world of darkness.
“hey. Tetsu. When you were in the place called Samrodu, did you disappear into something you could see? How dare you ask me to come and go?”
Despite Xu Shin’s death, Tetsu just smiled.
“Is that possible? But I know that Lord Xu is generous to the Chinese branch of the Triad.”
“bouncer. “If it weren’t for the association president’s request, this guy would have died right away, but he just kept his mouth shut.”
Even as he said that, Xu Xin let go of the man’s neck he was holding.
Day 3 of the friendly match.
Although I was a bit upset for a moment because things didn’t work out the way I expected.
He, too, was not foolish enough to take out his anger on Samrodu in front of him.
‘Anyway, they’re like rats.’
New Korea Japan China.
The reason why triads located in three countries are still alive and well.
In the background, there was some kind of secret agreement between the Chinese Players Association and the Triads.
Even Xu Xin, a member of the national power generation, cannot go against the will of the president of the association.
Xu Xin threw away the already unconscious man and shook off his hands.
“If it’s a trivial story, you’ll have to give up one of your wrists.”
“There is a place reserved for you. “I will guide you personally.”
Heedless of the terrifying warning.
Samrodu Tetsu bowed his head respectfully.

Tiring.
[Activates skill Binding Chain (B). Specifies the target.]
Cluck.
It was a sudden skill activation.
The man who was maintaining a tense battle with Taehyun hesitated.
That brief gap decided the winner.
Wow.
Taehyun’s fist, who was using ‘Stone Skin’, was stuck in Mine’s abdomen.
“Wow…!!”
The game was already decided, but Taehyun did not stop attacking.
[Activates skill paralysis (B). Specifies the target.]
After being ‘paralyzed’ and unable to move any further.
Pupupupupup.
The talisman took this guy’s life.
An S-class demon belonging to the Triad Association.
It was a meaningless death for an S-class advanced player.
A talented person unknown to the public.
Looking at his face, it seemed that his nationality was not Japanese.
‘Are you a mercenary hired by the Triad?’
The world is wide and there are many strong people.
There has never been a time when these words felt as real as they do now.
Leaving Mine alone as his life drained away.
I found a woman who was watching the situation in the corner.
On the outside, she is an ordinary woman in her 30s.
But the other side is a demon belonging to the Triad.
Her skills would guide Taehyun to Samrodu.
“I won’t tell you twice. Open the gate to Samrodu.”
The woman nodded at the dry command.
Soon the skill was activated and the warp gate opened.
However.
It was a trap that did not work for Taehyun, who had already glimpsed Kenji Miyazaki’s memories.
Tiring.
[Skill Complete Hypnosis (B) has been activated. Specifies the target.]
“Say it again. Open the ‘proper’ warp gate to Samrodu.”
Forcing an opponent’s skill through a skill accelerates the consumption of magical power and mental energy.
At the same time, the damage done to the opponent’s mind.
“Ugh…”
The woman poured out black blood from her nose and mouth, creating a new warp gate.
Rumbling.
dump.
The woman who vomited blood fell down and trembled.
Taehyun looked at the figure indifferently and headed toward the warp gate.
“good. Then, let’s go eat the main dish. partner.”
Another man was watching this entire process with a bored expression.
“….”
Isaka Ryohei, who no longer felt comfortable with the nickname “ghost,” nodded his head calmly.
