Episode 117
Kugugugung.
The ‘Monarch’s spirit’ was activated and a huge force of gravity came into play.
What if the target was a range rather than a single player.
The barrier installed in the sparring area was so powerful that it would have been easily destroyed.
‘Is this AA grade?’
Taehyun seemed satisfied with the output that exceeded expectations.
There is no need to concentrate to activate two skills like before.
At this point, I decided to test how much I could control my skills.
Meanwhile.
The party whose skills are weighing down.
Greger Gillespie’s expression changed.
‘Is this the ‘Awesomeness of the King of Knights’?’
I already knew about Taehyun before coming to New Korea.
The main skills are ‘Knight King’s Awesomeness’, ‘Paralysis’, ‘Stone Skin’, ‘Stealth’, and ‘Chains of Binding’.
I thought it was a skill that wasn’t that great.
‘It exceeded my expectations.’
The corners of Gregor Gillespie’s mouth rose.
My interest arose.
It was the first time since the saint that I felt interested in an Asian player.
Kwasik.
One foot I was standing on got stuck into the floor.
Although he was not putting up any special resistance, his stamina stat reached 230.
The power of the skill was worthy of recognition just by putting this much load on one’s body.
‘Or maybe his skill level was that great.’
Coo coo coo coo coo.
Kwasik.
The rest of his foot hit the floor.
If things continue like this, my entire body will be thrown into the sparring arena.
Nevertheless, Greger Gillespie did not take an offensive stance.
According to information, Taehyun is an all-rounder who does not shy away from close combat.
Suddenly, I became curious about the power of the other skills he used.
“hey. “Are you not using any other skills?”
he asked, putting his hands in his pockets.
“The attack now seems difficult enough, doesn’t it?”
“Don’t talk nonsense. If you want, you can create a barrier like this. “You know I can tear it like a piece of paper, right?”
“… … .”
Taehyun was silent for a moment.
It wasn’t wrong.
It is said that the installed barrier was made for the national power level.
The capabilities of the national power level also vary greatly.
‘You look stronger than Zhang Linfeng.’
The man in front of me, Gregor Gillespie, was a strong man with no rivals, at least not in Asia.
“My thoughts changed. “I’ll wait until you use another skill.”
He took his hands out of his pockets and crossed his arms.
“… … .”
“It’s about giving a choice. “I guess it’s a form of respect for someone who will soon kneel.”
Gregor Gillespie nodded.
It meant to hurry up and try the next skill.
Multi-skill awakeners have the advantage of being able to use various combinations, but they also have distinct disadvantages.
Just possessing a skill puts a strain on the awakened person’s body, and there is a limit to the maximum output of the skill.
Therefore, in a match of the highest class, one solid skill decided the winner rather than several mediocre skills.
“I’ll give it back exactly as it was said.”
“… … ?”
“Enough to use other skills. “Convince me that you are strong.”
I know it’s a provocation.
Nevertheless.
“under.”
Gregor Gillespie did not hide his bewildered expression.
Who could say such bold words to the national power of the United States?
Quaaaaa.
Blue magic soared from Gregor Gillespie’s body.
It’s not a skill, it’s just magic wrapped around the body.
Nevertheless, the stats increased as if a body strengthening skill had been used.
Kwasik. Kwasik.
He took one step at a time.
Every time, the sparring hall caved in.
“You have incredible tenacity.”

Taehyun said calmly.
Before we knew it, there were less than twenty steps left between the two of us.
Taehyun did not move or draw his weapon.
I simply increased the magic power used for ‘Monarch’s spirit’ little by little.
Before we knew it, Gregor Gillespie had arrived right in front of Taehyun.
‘A kid is a kid after all.’
Pride and bravado.
It was a common mistake made by those who gained power at a young age.
He thought that Taehyun was not using his skills due to unnecessary pride.
The blue magic that surrounded my body vibrated.
With the killing intent of wanting to blow up the existence in front of me at any moment.
His eyes turned to the audience.
Ji Jin-hee, the president of the association, was there with a stern expression.
‘There’s no need to bend your knee.’
If we put Taehyun in a dying state here, he will no longer be able to be stubborn.
When you’re thinking like that.
Kugugugung.
Gravity, a little stronger than before, pressed down on him.
It meant that Taehyun was pouring out his magic power.
“That’s boring. “The joke ends here.”
He concentrated magical energy into his fist.
at that time.
Kugugoogung!!
“… … !!”
Gravity became even stronger.
It was at the same time that the hand that was concentrating magical power began to harden.
“I will give you a chance. Use your skills.”
Taehyun said with a grin.
* * *
The corner of Michael Gore’s mouth twitched.
It was because of a conversation that could be heard through the barrier.
Although a fairly plausible barrier was operating, the advanced sense of the national power level was accepting the two people’s conversation without exception.
‘It’s over.’
Michael Gore clicked his tongue slightly.
It was because of Taehyun’s recklessness.
It was Gregor Gillespie, already famous in America for his hot temper.
Taehyun provoked him.
He willingly responded to the provocation.
The S-rank skill ‘Wolf Heart’ was used.
Werewolf was there.
An extra-standard strongman who radiates blue magic power from his 3-meter-tall body.
Michael Gore saw Gregor Gillespie’s stats.
Strength: 232 Stamina: 245 Speed: 228 Horsepower: 140
Stats comparable to those of national power level.
On the other hand, Taehyun’s stats are.
Strength: 200 Stamina: 200 Speed: 180 Horsepower: 280
Although it barely reached the national power level standard.
The horsepower is just too high.
No matter how many skills you have and how high your magic power is, there is a limit to the power that can be realized with intermediate skills.
The first grade you see, AA, is a variable.
Now that Greger Gillespie has activated the skill, the probability that that variable will even work has drastically decreased.
‘Hmm. ‘I don’t know if I can last a minute.’
Michael Gore recalled his bet with Taehyun.
His ‘request’ was simple.
New Korea should bow its head first and join hands with Japan to keep China in check.
On the contrary, Taehyeon demanded that the United States withdraw its hands from New Korea’s affairs and instead hand over ownership of the unexplored dungeons to the United States.
The match was decided from the beginning.
Will Michael Gore change Taehyun’s opinion?
The Awakened Pact was made on the spot.
‘what. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to instill fear here.’
Chairman Ji Jin-hee of the association was seen not far away.
Even though he is old, he is also an S-class advanced player.
Gregor Gillespie’s face froze as he sensed his power.
Kwaang!!
At that moment, Taehyun’s body flew and landed on the barrier.
Immense power.
Considering the difference in stats, both of the guard’s arms would have been broken for no reason.
Grinning.
He nodded toward Gregor Gillespie, who caught his eye.
It meant that it was okay to end this.
* * *
Meanwhile, Taehyun, who was stuck on the barrier, exhaled.
Even though it was surrounded by magical power, one of the guard’s arms was numb.
‘It’s outrageous.’
‘Heart of the Wolf’ is classified as the highest level among the beast-human painting skills.
I couldn’t even imagine how much my physical abilities had increased.
Originally, the stat gap would be difficult to win without the help of predation.
Nevertheless, Taehyun’s expression was not dark.
‘I don’t need to use the shadow skin.’
Even though it was his own doing, there are many eyes watching.
There didn’t seem to be any need to show it.
Above all, Taehyun had only used 30% of his power.
at that time.
Huh.
Gregor Gillespie quickly closed the distance and swung his arm again.
Taehyun turned to the side and widened the distance.
Gregor Gillespie didn’t bother to chase after him.
I’m enjoying it.
The feeling of a wolf chasing down its prey.
“It’s sturdier than it looks.”
This time, Gregor Gillespie was about to pierce both arms.
Dark red magic power surged from Taehyun’s body.
Tiring.
[Strengthens the Skill Lord’s Awe (AA). Specify the target. Magic power consumption accelerates. Output: 40%]
Kugugugung.
“… … !!”
Under different pressure than before.
Greger Gillespie’s expression changed.
“no way… .”
Kwasik. Kwasik. Kwasik.
Gravity, which I had completely shaken off, began to tighten my body once again.
At the same time, my body was gradually stiffening.
It was the effect of the skill ‘Paralysis’.
‘You were controlling your strength? Against me… ?’
This is ridiculous.
The stat difference is clear.
Just the magic stat. It is impossible to reverse the difference in the remaining three stats.
Common sense says so.
‘Hmm. Is it still worth holding on?’
Taehyun raised his magic power.
[Strengthens the Skill Lord’s Awe (AA). Specify the target. Magic power consumption accelerates. Output: 60%]
Stand tall.
3 meters tall.
The body of Gregor Gillespie, who could no longer be called human, stopped.
Apart from the oppressive pressure, my body began to stiffen at a rapid rate.
“under.”
Gregor Gillespie, who understood the situation, burst into laughter as if it were absurd.
It wasn’t me who was testing the other person.
This guy wasn’t hunted from the beginning.
At that moment, the words ‘I defeated Zhang Linfeng, who had a contract with the Grand Duke’ passed through my mind.
“OK. If you want it that way, I’ll show you.”
Quaaaaaaaaa.
Gregor Gillespie exploded with magic.
Blue magical power filled the sparring hall.
Taehyun quietly stared at the being in front of him.
A monster werewolf with a silver mane.
he roared.
Kwajangchang. Kwachang.
In an instant, the sparring ground barrier was broken.
It was natural that the power was conveyed to those in the audience.
dump. dump. dump. dump.
Almost 90% of them collapsed in an instant.
The only ones left were the guild leaders of the four major guilds, Ji Jin-hee, and Go Tae-wook with stern expressions.
Only Michael Gore was smiling.
“You brought this on yourself.”
Gregor Gillespie looked down at Taehyun with eyes sparkling with blue magic.
It is difficult for him to control his killing intent now.
So, I was planning on taking at least two of Taehyun’s limbs.
On the other hand.
Taehyun raised his magical power to its limit.
I could feel the horsepower of the 280 decreasing rapidly.
Tiring.
[Strengthens the Skill Lord’s Awe (AA). Specify the target. Magic power consumption accelerates.]
Tiring.
[Strengthens the Skill Lord’s Awe (AA). Specify the target. Magic power consumption accelerates.]
Tiring.
[Strengthens the Skill Lord’s Awe (AA). Specify the target. Magic power consumption accelerates. Skill enhancement has reached its limit.]
“Output 100%.”
Kugugugugugugung.
Dark red magic power covered the blue magic power.
I can’t move.
‘This is ridiculous… !!’
My eyes shook as I lost control of my body.
Only then did I realize it.
This is not a skill like ‘Knight King’s spirit’ or ‘paralysis’.
“you… why… .”
His words could not continue.
This is because Taehyun did not allow further conversation.
“Kneel down.”
To that overwhelming command.
dump.
The giant wolf kneeled down.
That was all.
