Episode 199
All skills used by awakened people are affected by magic stats.
Taehyun’s magic stat, who is currently using ‘Blood Rush’, is 500.
No matter how much I do, only Blooddiaragon has reached SSS level.
It was enough magical power to break through my exhausted mind.
Red eyes flashed after using the skill ‘Complete Hypnosis’.
[eww… ah… .]
Bloodia could not resist the magic that entered her mind.
* * *
The beginning. Middle layer. Deep part. The deepest layer.
The various boundaries that divide the Abyss were all created by humans.
A monster that can be said to be an obstacle to exploration.
It was to determine their location.
Even though the Abyss was overflowing with magical power compared to Earth, the concentration of magical power was different depending on the location.
The deeper you go inside, the thicker the concentration of magical power becomes, and the higher-ranking monsters instinctively head inward.
That was why you could often see S-class monsters in the depths.
A monster that devours countless monsters and players and is gaining notoriety in the area.
The same was true for Bloodia.
Grand dukes who call themselves kings of the region.
It’s been so long I can’t even remember since they stopped fighting over territory.
Bloodia was growing its own power in the depths.
Around the same time.
It was inevitable that I would meet the infamous Asmodeus.
[Bloodia. Come join me.]
Asmodeus’ red eyes flashed and he proposed an alliance.
[I will ascend to the position of Grand Duke. I promise you a position you won’t be intimidated by.]
To ascend to the position of Grand Duke.
Even for a high-ranking species like Bloodia, those words seemed like a dream.
Asmodeus casually talks about such a dream.
When I looked at this guy, I couldn’t help but laugh.
[It doesn’t make sense.]
Bloodia taunted Asmodeus.
Bloodia’s subordinate.
Dozens of S-class monsters surrounded Asmodeus.
[It’s a shame.]
Asmodeus smiled darkly and unleashed his magic power.
It was a one-sided massacre.
The high-level monsters gave their orders without even being able to offer any resistance.
Afterwards, the two SS-class monsters fought.
It took quite a long time for the match to be decided.
The result was Bloodia’s overwhelming defeat.
Nevertheless, the reason it took time was because of Asmodeus’ attitude.
Asmodeus tried to persuade Bloodia several times, but was rejected.
[If you change your mind, come back. step.]
Quad deuk.
Asmodeus ate Bloodia’s mouth.
Crash. Clutter.
[Until then, you will live your whole life in ridicule.]
Bloodia belatedly screamed.
The wounds left by Asmodeus did not regenerate easily.
Abyss is a diet of meat and dogs.
There is no better prey than a superior species that has lost its power and has been injured.
Numerous higher-ranking species targeted Bloodia, which could not recover its former strength.
As usual.
It was the day he destroyed one of the higher-ranking species that was targeting him.
Igmun’s family came to visit.
To go under the Archduke.
Among them, becoming a member of a family that can be considered the highest executive.
It was also an opportunity for the higher-ranking species to take a leap forward.
Is it because of the previous defeat?
Bloodia obediently accepted Igmun’s power.
He was overflowing with power riding the blood-red magic power.
Bloodia realized that she had jumped over the wall one level.
Nevertheless.
The flesh that Asmodeus ate did not regenerate.
[It’s ominous magical power.]
Igmun clicked his tongue as he saw Bloodia not fully regenerating.
Even the Grand Duke’s own power could not cover the magical power left behind by a higher-ranking species.

It was something that hurt my pride.
[I’ll give you a new gift instead.]
Wow.
A third red eye appeared on Bloodia’s forehead.
[This eye will give you new strength.]
Igmun said with a bitter laugh.
[I will follow the Lord’s orders.]
Bloodia swore obedience to Igmun.
[I will entrust the Temple of Blood to you. Everything that those eyes see will be reported.]
Bloodia, under Igmun’s orders, headed to the deepest level.
A considerable amount of time has passed.
At that time, Asmodeus was being chased by Orgal.
He is holding on to his life while being chased by the Archduke.
Even while being chased, news came that one of Orgal’s men had been defeated.
Top species.
He was a guy that Bloodia usually rated higher than herself.
Wow.
Bloodia’s feelings for Asmodeus boiled over.
Did he read those thoughts?
Igmun gave new orders to Bloodia.
[Throw bait to Rosaria.]
Igmun’s expression looked happy as he gave that command.
A territorial war between archdukes that took place in a time when memories of the past were dim.
Igmun passed the signal to Bloodia.
Rosaria is evaluated as the weakest among the great dukes.
Moreover, there were a lot of rumors recently that Rosaria and Orgal had a fight.
That was why Bloodia attacked Museyran, a member of Rosaria’s household.
Many monsters died, and the surviving succubi were bitten by Bloodia directly.
Museyran was no exception.
A feeling of fullness filled me.
After eating a few more of Rosaria’s household members, Asmodeus is next.
With that in mind, it was time to wait for the next command.
Rosaria’s new family.
I expected him or Rosaria herself to make a move.
But what came was.
It was one human being.
A player on Earth who thinks Bloodia is a bug.
[ah… ah… .]
Bloodia’s eyes consumed by Taehyun’s magic.
Bloody tears flowed from the three red eyes.
* * *
“Whoa… “It’s tough.”
Taehyun sighed after canceling the skill.
‘Complete hypnosis’ and ‘blood rush’.
Perhaps because I maintained both skills, the mental load was great.
In particular, unlike other skills registered to prey on family members, ‘Complete Hypnosis’ is a skill passed down directly from Rosaria.
Even though the skill was maintained for about 3 minutes, the mental power consumption was extraordinary.
“In the end, are there no clues about Asmodeus?”
In that case, there was no more need to see Bloodia.
I looked down at Bloodia, who could not recover her broken mind and body.
The three red eyes were trembling.
He was never a guy to look down on.
‘Apocalypse’, ‘Eyes of a Higher Species’, ‘Rampage of Blood’.
If I didn’t have these skills, I wouldn’t have been able to keep up with Bloodia’s movements.
Is that all?
Each enemy contains one skill at a time.
Out of all the guys I’ve dealt with so far, there was no one like this.
In other words, it’s not that Bloodia is weak.
‘I have become stronger.’
There is nothing more thrilling than the moment you realize your growth.
The corners of Taehyun’s mouth rose.
Click. Click.
Top-quality magic potion and fatigue potion.
I quickly emptied the two potions.
and.
Tiring.
[Unique skill Predation (SS) has been activated. Specifies the target.]
Ugh.
Dark red magical power spread out beneath Bloodia.
“Eat it up.”
Quad!!
The magic of predation engulfed Bloodia.
“Chew it thoroughly.”
gulp.
Can’t resist or scream.
The first SSS level monster I faced after returning.
It took less than a minute for Bloodia to be devoured.
The predation that chewed and swallowed the flesh disappeared without a trace.
and.
Tiring.
[You have devoured a huge being.]
[Strength increases by 5.]
[Stamina increases by 5.]
[Speed increases by 5.]
[Magic power increases by 5.]
[The magic power of the general skill Blood Rush (S) has been readjusted.]
[The magic power of the summoning skill Igmun (S) has been readjusted.]
“her… .”
Is it predation that has changed?
Or is Blooddia the prey?
It didn’t matter either way.
Taehyun opened the status window.

Jormungand (S) – Summons the Demon King Jormungand. Horsepower: 9000
Physical abilities increased slightly.
The magic stat exceeded 450 even without receiving a buff.
The magic power of ‘Blood Runaway’ was also reduced by 50 compared to before.
Although the load is considerable, it is a skill with guaranteed effectiveness.
Rather than simply increasing the number of skills, it was more beneficial to increase the proficiency of existing skills.
If the magic power is around 150, it would be no problem to use it at the same time as ‘Apocalypse’.
But the biggest change among them all.
‘The magic power to summon Igmun has decreased?’
The only one Taehyun made a pact to summon was Rosaria.
The reason why other archdukes are registered in the summoning skill.
There was a high possibility that it was because he had devoured his subordinates in the previous battle.
At first, I couldn’t even think of activating the skill due to the absurd magical power level.
It has been confirmed that the magical power can be reduced by feasting on subordinates.
‘Is it worth a try?’
Of course, even if summoned, Taehyun would have to take care of it.
Do you know anything?
There will come a day when this skill will be needed.
Eat.
Taehyun, who had been making various assumptions for a moment, burst out laughing.
Rosaria, Igmun, Orgal.
It reminded me of the time I faced the three archdukes.
‘There is no need to invite death.’
Taehyun shook his head and moved to leave the temple.
at that time.
Giiiiiiing.
Red magical power swirled before my eyes.
This was the location where Bloodia’s body was until a moment ago.
‘uh… ?’
The blood-red magic seemed to draw a six-pointed star and then formed a single shape.
[It’s you again.]
“… … !!”
Taehyun flinched at the voice he had heard before.
It only took a few seconds for the blood-red magic power to take full form.
A handsome man with pale skin and blonde hair.
Even though he looks like an ordinary Westerner.
That entity is called the Vampire Lord and is the entity that rules the Abyss.
[It’s been a while. Rosaria’s henchman.]
A man with a smile on his face.
His red eyes flashed.
That alone made me feel an unrivaled magical power.
“grandee… Igmun.”
Taehyun said the man’s name.
