Episode 276
SS grade skill ‘Devil Gate’.
Like Shadow’s ‘Apostle of Darkness’, it was a skill I wanted to acquire.
I remembered the battle that took place just moments ago.
As the level of ‘predation’ increased, skill registration became more difficult.
It’s either a demon or a monster.
This was probably because the targets Taehyun used Predation on were beings with greater power than expected, and most of them had rare skills.
and.
‘Devil Gate’ was one of the few skills that Taehyun had developed so far.
‘Open the gate to the Abyss… It’s too abstract.’
Taehyun’s eyebrows furrowed as he read the explanation in the status window.
Predation may be registered while preserving the original form of the skill, or may be registered as a newly modified form.
This is because a newly registered skill is bound to be different compared to the original owner who has trained his/her proficiency to the limit.
Which one is ‘Devil Gate’?
Numerous monsters.
Is it Kasim Zort’s ability to summon SS-rank monsters at will?
Or is the skill itself special?
‘for a moment. If it’s a summoning skill, it can’t be in the general skill list… .’
Taehyun looked closely at the newly changed status window.
There are a total of seven registered summoning skills.
Rosaria. Excuse me. Orgal. Beelzebub. Jormungand. Hazard. Typhon.
‘They are all monsters that are either current or former archdukes.’
There have been no errors in the status window so far.
At the very least, there was a high possibility that Taehyun’s ‘Devil Gate’ was not a summoning skill.
For now.
‘I’ll have to check in another place first.’
If I used a skill here for no reason and a monster was summoned, it would be a disaster.
Taehyun was thinking this as he was about to leave the Night Walker building.
Rattling.
There was someone who came in first.
It was Yoo Ah-young.
“What, are you planning to go out again?”
She had come to visit after receiving word that Cody Cruz and Asisat Ebi had returned.
“There is nothing to do if I stay here.”
Taehyun said as he packed his bag.
As a VVIP room, a certain amount of top-quality potions and skills are always prepared.
“There’s nothing to do? “You just have to play with me.”
Yoo Ah-young looked at Taehyun like that and said as if it was natural.
“… “I don’t think this is something the head of the four major guilds would say.”
Yoo Ah-young’s mouth popped out at Tae-hyeon’s words.
“It’s not fun.”
Taehyun chuckled at his childlike attitude.
This is the Yoo Ah-young that Taehyun knows.
‘Have you accepted the given situation?’
I was glad to see that I had regained my characteristic cheerfulness.
“so. What is your relationship with Asisat Ebi?”
She brought out her original purpose.
Information collected by Jeong Han-soo at Tae-hyeon’s request.
After reading the information, I felt something unusual.
“She is also an anti-aircraft contractor.”
“… … !!”
Her eyes widened at Taehyun’s seemingly insignificant words.
“then… .”
“yes. Cody Cruz is also an anti-aircraft contractor.”
“under.”
Yoo Ah-young looked dumbfounded.
No way, player.
This is also due to the fact that the two people competing for the number one spot in the world are both related to monsters.
“What was said here. “Can I ask you something?”
Yoo Ah-young asked cautiously.
Although she is Taehyun’s assistant.
It was a matter of caution regarding anti-aircraft contractors.
‘Even if you don’t tell me, there’s nothing I can do about it right now.’
We will have to somehow gather information using Night Walker’s information network.
But contrary to what she thought.
Taehyun had already decided to trust her.
Unlike others, she is the head of the Information Guild.
‘I might be able to find out information I didn’t expect.’

Taehyun briefly told me about what he had shared with the princes.
Fukuoka’s gate break is Jormungand’s work, and the law of the Abyss prevents them from crossing the gate at will.
And there are currently two known anti-aircraft contractors among the Mines and three among the Players.
“Min Ji-hong is Orgal’s contractor… Kassim Jort… He’s a contractor from Beelzebub… ?”
It was a more shocking reaction than hearing that Asisat Ebi and Cody Cruz were anti-aircraft contractors.
“Isn’t it more plausible that Mine is an anti-aircraft contractor rather than the player?”
“That’s true too… .”
Yoo Ah-young belatedly agreed.
However, contrary to what is said, there are not just a few Grand Dukes of Rosaria’s size.
And even though he receives the power of the Archduke like himself.
It seemed quite shocking that, apart from Taehyun, there were several others who maintained their sanity.
“So Yoo Ah-young can also be the guild leader. “It’s not difficult.”
“Well, that’s right… .”
Contrary to what they say, except for Asisat Ebi, all of them are prominent players or minecrafters.
Ironically, he was able to win twice over Kassim Zort, who is considered the most vicious among them.
‘Maybe I… I may have become incredibly strong… .’
According to Taehyeon, the deceased Zhang Linfeng was also a contractor for the Great Duke.
With this, among the four players, two Mines had the power of an anti-aircraft contractor.
I thought it was a cursed power.
As Taehyun said, depending on how you use it, it can become a chosen power.
‘This guy endures this kind of force… ‘Have you been growing?’
I know how great Taehyun is without needing to hear more.
The more I learned, the more I felt a new sense of awe.
The path Taehyun took after ‘Temple of the Phoenix’.
Definitely, if only I could follow that path.
“I can do it too… Ugh… .”
suddenness.
Ayoung grabbed my neck.
“Guild leader Yoo Ah-young?”
She groaned as she couldn’t answer Taehyun’s question.
My knees suddenly buckled, and a new magical power was seething in my chest.
Ssssss.
Ayoung’s eyes turned red.
Giiiing.
It felt like a new heart was growing in one side of her chest.
No, that wasn’t an illusion.
‘This magical power… .’
Taehyun looked at Ayoung, who suddenly went crazy.
Power enough to cover the original green magical power.
Purple magical energy symbolizing Rosaria’s power was blooming from her entire body.
‘Why all of a sudden… .’
Taehyun thought so and raised his magic power.
Night Walker’s VIP room does not have a barrier like the training room.
If something goes wrong, the entire building could collapse.
‘That can’t be possible.’
Quaaaaaaaaa.
Taehyun unleashed his magical power.
Tiring.
[Skill High-Speed Heart (SS) has been activated.]
[The skill Eye of a Higher Species (SS) has been activated.]
[Skill Apocalypse (SS) has been activated. Specify the target. Magic power consumption accelerates.]
In an instant, the entire area was enveloped in darkness.
If she really went on a rampage, the intention was to subdue her in a short period of time.
Kugugoogung.
Sigh. Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Gravity and chains were ready to imprison her.
It didn’t take long for Yoo Ah-young’s moaning to subside.
She got up.
Fazizik. Pajik.
With sparks.
A dangerous amount of magical power scattered in all directions.
It was proof that she was not fully in control of her powers.
Two pairs of red eyes that wouldn’t be surprising if they belonged to a higher-species monster met each other.
“Guild leader Yoo Ah-young. “Did you suddenly want to join us?”
Taehyun asked, looking into Yoo Ah-young’s maddened eyes.
“… … .”
Of course, I thought he would answer with his characteristic nasal voice.
Yoo Ah-young just stood still without answering.
‘Have I lost my mind?’
When I looked closely at the red eye, despite its dark color, there was no focus.
Now was the opportunity.
Tiring.
[Skill Apocalypse (SS) has been strengthened. Specify the target. Magic power consumption accelerates.]
[Output: 100%]
Coo coo coo coo coo.
This skill is used at full power all at once.
For a moment, it felt like the building was shaking.
Chrrrrrr.
Dozens of chains wrapped themselves around her body.
I was planning to use ‘Energy Drain’ to suck out all the magical energy remaining in my body.
This is the moment to strengthen ‘energy drain’.
suddenness.
Damn. Damn it.
There was a crack in the ‘chain of bondage’.
‘Have I become stronger than before?’
Even if it went out of control, it was an enormous amount of magical power.
This is the moment when Taehyun sticks out his tongue and is about to use his next skill.
[Hehehe. You must have been quite scared. I’m a contractor.]
“… … .”
The voice I heard made me startle.
“you… .”
Taehyun looked at the red eyes visible through the broken chains.
Before I knew it, my unfocused eyes were staring clearly at me.
[Didn’t you miss your wife?]
“Why are you out there?”
I took a deep breath and released the magic power that had been concentrating on the skill.
The thing that looks like Yoo Ah-young in front of Tae-hyun.
It was Rosaria.
* * *
“What are you doing? this.”
Taehyun asked without hiding his displeasure.
Just because Rosaria has taken control of Yoo Ah-young’s body, a tremendous amount of magical power is released.
There is no way there is no risk.
It maintains its temporary form thanks to its powerful magical power.
Yoo Ah-young’s body, which has not yet been completed, is falling apart.
That alone would have meant spending a considerable amount of time in the intensive care unit.
[You look angry.]
“Say.”
The corner of Yoo Ah-young’s mouth went up at Tae-hyeon’s reply.
[However, the main woman also became quite impatient. In order to approach the contractor, I had no choice but to use this child.]
“Are you impatient?”
It was a word choice that was difficult to expect from the usual Rosaria.
[Asmodeus came to visit.]
“… … !!”
Take a moment to be surprised.
She continued.
[I have something urgent to say, so please return to the Abyss.]
That’s not an order.
It was a request.
* * *
Rosaria disappeared after saying those words.
Tae-hyun moved the collapsed Yoo Ah-young to the intensive care unit provided inside Night Walker and briefly explained the situation to Jeong Han-soo.
It took less than 30 minutes to go to the association and meet Go Tae-wook.
“Aren’t you going to tell me what’s going on?”
“It’s better if you don’t know.”
This is Ji Jin-hee, whose work has recently increased due to relations with China.
I didn’t want to put pressure on him by telling him about the Abyss.
‘There may still be spies left in the association.’
Since Jeong Han-soo was looking for it separately, it wouldn’t take long.
“Umm… Okay, I understand. “I will tell the president of the association separately.”
“please.”
“Don’t worry about here. “Thanks to you, New Korea’s power is no longer weak.”
Contrary to what is said, the new Korea’s military power is not shabby.
Now, even without Taehyun, he has enough power to be in the top five in the world.
This was due to the six SS-level players along with the solid and growing mid- to upper-level players.
Harsultan’s second attack was the perfect test of his skills.
‘Next time I come back, the gray disease may have completely disappeared.’
Is that all?
Ji Jin-hee and Ko Tae-wook will be able to improve Tae-hyun’s training methods and help other players grow further.
“then. “Please take care of yourself.”
With those words, Taehyun headed to the gate zone.
It doesn’t matter if you use the skill and move right away.
‘I don’t know how the laws of the Abyss will work.’
It was better to minimize mental fatigue and physical strain.
A large warp gate has been activated.
Kiiii.
The magic power of the association players was injected.
Tiring.
[Skill Gate Apostle (SS) has been activated. The location has been specified.]
Taehyun’s body crossed the gate.
What you see is.
It was the broken castle of Rosaria.
