Episode 194
Unlike other archdukes registered in the summoning skill, Rosaria is an archduke who has officially signed a contract.
If you want, the easiest way is to use skills.
Nevertheless, the reverse summoning was attempted for two reasons.
The first was the load on the body.
The existence of the Archduke consumes enormous magical power just by maintaining its summoning.
Consuming magical power means consuming mental power.
As Taehyun became stronger, the pain of maintaining the summoning became less severe, but it was a pain he did not want to experience.
The skill will not be activated unless it is a life-threatening situation.
That was the reason for using the skill ‘Rosaria’ as a hidden card.
The second reason was because of the gaze of those around me.
Players and monsters are polar opposites.
Among the awakened people involved in summoning monsters, there were especially many demons.
These days, I am particularly scared of the existence of the Archduke.
If it is known that Taehyun summoned a monster, he will not end up alone.
Of course, in addition to these reasons, I also had a strong desire to test reverse summoning.
In theory, all that is needed for reverse summoning is a physical gate, sufficient magical power, and summoning skills.
I was confident.
Newly registered skills ‘Energy Compose’ and ‘Energy Drain’.
Just as Ricky Harlis applied the two skills in various ways, Taehyun will also be able to use them in various ways.
“It’s been a while.”
Taehyun said while looking at Rosaria.
Surrounded by purple magic, she responded with laughter.
[Hehe. Entering her lady’s room without knocking. He is truly a passionate contractor.]
The last time we met was at Orgal’s castle.
I wouldn’t say it’s been a long time, but it’s definitely the first time I’ve heard her last name since signing the contract.
Sigh.
She snapped her fingers.
Phew.
A sudden wind blew away the magical power scattered around.
Taehyun’s expression hardened at the sight of Rosaria that was revealed later.
“… … .”
Bat wings. Two horns. A sultry appearance on the body of a human woman. Tentacles that you can’t tell how many there are.
Up to this point, it looks the same as before.
however.
‘One arm and one wing… .’
Taehyun knows better than anyone how great her power is.
Also, the only person who can harm the Archduke is the Archduke.
“That arm. Could it be because of Orgal? ?”
[It is not the contractor’s concern. You’ve become stronger than that. It really is an interesting body.]
“… … .”
Taehyun was speechless at the sight of Rosaria looking relaxed.
[I guess there’s nothing left to hide since I’ve shown myself like this.]
While saying that, Rosaria waved her arms.
Kwajangchang.
With the sound of breaking, the truth hidden by hallucinations was revealed.
The place where Taehyun is standing is inside the castle.
Nevertheless, the red sky of the Abyss was visible.
This is because the part that could be considered the roof of the castle was blown away.
No, it’s not just the roof.
Looking around, the castle was completely destroyed.
Taehyun recalled how she mentioned Igmun a while ago.
If Igmun suddenly attacked her, it was because he thought he might be involved.
“I’m sorry… .”
Taehyun said that with sincerity.
The opponent is an archduke who can be said to be the highest species among monsters.
From player Kim Tae-hyun’s point of view, he is an enemy, but from contractor Kim Tae-hyun’s point of view, he is also a sworn partner.
Taehyun can’t help but feel a sense of debt.
Rosaria started giggling.
The tentacles beneath her feet stirred.
[Ahahaha. Do you know how to do something like that? If I had known this would happen, I would have given up my other arm as well.]
“… … .”
Rosaria, who had been giggling for a while, suddenly stopped laughing.
[There is nothing to worry about. Just because he’s an archduke doesn’t mean everyone gets along well.]
“That arm. “Why isn’t it playing?”
[Because Orgal’s magic still remains. But it won’t take long.]
“Thank goodness.”
It didn’t seem like he was empty words, seeing as his magic power was gradually getting stronger.

[What’s going on here? It seems like it’s quite unreasonable, doesn’t it?]
Rosaria asked, looking at Taehyun’s tattered clothes.
There was quite a bit of magic conflict while crossing the gate.
If it weren’t for a player like Taehyun, it would have been a collision that would have torn his entire body apart the moment he crossed the gate.
“I want to ask you something.”
Taehyun said while drinking healing potion.
[Tell me.]
“Rosaria. “Why didn’t you tell me about the king?”
Rosaria covered her mouth in response to Taehyun’s question.
It was playful, but at the same time, it was an expected reaction.
Taehyun wasted no time in driving the wedge.
“I want to meet the king. As a bonus, I’d like to hear everything you know about keys.”
Rosaria burst into laughter again at his bold attitude.
[Ahahahaha. Have I finally realized my destiny? It’s earlier than I thought.]
“… … .”
[How did you find out? Orgal. Did that beast-like guy tell you?]
Rosaria asked with confidence.
Taehyun survived against Orgal before calling him.
A power that naturally symbolizes the king.
It was natural to think of ‘predation’.
Since Orgal is aiming for the throne of king, he must have tried to get his hands on Taehyeon somehow.
But her expectations were spectacularly wrong.
“You are mistaken. “It’s not an organ.”
[Huh. Then who on earth are you talking about?]
“It is God.”
[…] … !!]
At Taehyun’s calm words.
Rosaria’s playful expression changed.
* * *
[…] God?]
It was my first time.
Seeing Rosaria’s panicked appearance.
“okay. “In our world, it’s called No Name.”
[where… Where did you see him?]
Rosaria asked with a trembling voice.
Taehyun felt like teasing him for a moment, but Taehyun immediately revealed the truth.
“It’s a place called America. “This is where Archduke Lucifer’s contractor is located.”
[after… Hehe… Lucifer’s contract… He is also very consistent.]
Rosaria muttered with a bitter smile.
It was also an expression Taehyun had never seen before.
“I think we can talk now. “I think we’ll have a good time together, right?”
[Is he still there?]
“I just met him by chance. And now it has completely disappeared. “It’s your turn.”
[…] … .]
“The key to ending the war in the Abyss. “You probably know something about this.”
If Taehyun refuses to answer, there is nothing he can do.
‘I have no choice but to dig into Asmodeus or the deepest level.’
To investigate the king, you must be at least an SSS level monster or archduke.
This was a fact I found out after dealing with numerous monsters after returning.
Unless there are major changes in the future.
‘The Hanbit Guild is eventually connected to Asmodeus.’
That’s why Taehyun was able to stay on Earth and grow leisurely.
But after meeting God, everything became uncertain.
The price of regression.
Abyss War.
Countdown to tribal war.
Why did the king choose him?
There was a need to meet the king as soon as possible.
[You are right. Surely this… This is an unexpected situation.]
Fortunately, Rosaria’s response was positive.
“What is the answer?”
[It’s not a short story.]
“That’s good. “I came here with the same intention in mind.”
Taehyun walked past her.
and.
dump.
I sat down on a throne made of an unknown material.
[Hehe. That kind of attitude towards your wife. She took a hit.]
Rosaria’s not-so-short story has begun.
* * *
Although there was some overlap with what God showed.
There were many parts that Taehyun was hearing for the first time.
This is because the time period of the story is different.
“therefore. “The name of that giant dragon is Baal?”
Taehyun asked back as if confirming.
[okay. He is a being who has been called the Demon Dragon King for a long time. In addition, it is known that he was the first to take control of the lower world by creating the title of Grand Duke.]
“Then what about Baal? Is he reigning as the king of the upper world?”
A new aspect that became clear through Rosaria.
The fact is that the Abyss is divided into the upper world and the lower world.
Below the red sky is the lower world where monsters live.
Above is the upper world where the Heavenly People live.
[It is like that now. However, what he is aiming for is not simply the king of the upper world. What you’re aiming for is probably God’s position.]
“god… ?”
[okay. There are a few among the archdukes. Even though they are creatures, they covet God’s place.]
Orgal appeared in Rosaria’s mind.
“That’s strange. According to you, Baal was the ruler of the underworld. People from the commercial world follow a guy like that? “The one who is targeting the god who created them?”
Rosaria responded cynically to Taehyun’s question.
[joy. How much time do you think has passed since God created us? Eons of time is enough to shake existence several times.]
“… … .”
Taehyun was silent and organized his thoughts.
Baal ascended from the Lower World to the Upper World, and the king conquered the Lower World during that time.
And they, who have become the rulers of the upper and lower worlds, are waging an endless war.
why?
A few questions came to mind.
“The king was definitely a human being like me. Why did he become the ruler of this place?”
[Don’t you know? Our world is made up of the law of the fittest.]
“also… is it.”
[okay. The Earth is ruled by weak humans. There is no reason to leave a place like that alone.]
The puzzle in my head was put together.
The king.
Why was the crying boy so desperate?
Why did you turn your back on Earth and come to the Abyss?
[iced coffee. I still can’t forget it. This is the scene when he made the previous princes kneel.]
Rosaria spoke as if recalling an ecstatic memory.
“so. “Why did you choose me?”
Now was the important part.
[How can I know his thoughts? However, you said it out of habit. ‘We can never win the war with our current fighting power. The key to ending the war is not in my hands.’]
It cannot be said to be a clear answer.
Taehyun next mentioned the countdown to the race war.
[Ask the king directly about that. At this point, it seems like her real wife has shown sufficient sincerity.]
“… good. Then, the last question. “Where is the king now?”
He was a king who thought he could only find it by meeting Asmodeus.
However, if it is Rosaria, a higher being than that.
Maybe we know its whereabouts?
Above all, Rosaria appears to be friendly to the king.
[I do not know either.]
“what?”
[Because he is a very new person. I don’t know how many thousand years have passed since I haven’t seen you.]
I felt like my eyes were getting dark.
Even though the Abyss and Earth have different times, it is thousands of years.
That was when Taehyun was thinking like that.
[But Asmodeus. It’s different with that guy.]
“what?”
It was when Taehyun was about to ask the reason.
[Ahaha. You’re not asking me to tell you with my bare mouth, are you?]
“… … .”
Rosaria’s eyes began to sparkle as she smiled sinisterly.
