Episode 346
“Huh. hook.”
How many push-ups did you do?
Sweat poured down my back, shoulders, and neck like rain.
One hundred. Five hundred. A thousand.
After that, I don’t remember much.
I continued to do it for an hour without stopping, so I think there were over 5,000.
“Whoa.”
Taehyun exhaled and stood up.
Awakening grade SSS.
The time when stats go up just by doing bodyweight exercises is over.
Nevertheless, Taehyun cooled his head by doing bodyweight exercises whenever he had time.
This is because I feel like my head is in order when I exercise like a machine.
I looked around.
The house I returned to after a long time was equipped with all kinds of new equipment.
All Taehyun did was occasionally stop by and sleep, but his aunt and his wife and secretary Yoon Mi-so cleaned it and filled it with things as if it were someone living there.
I stood in front of the full-length mirror placed on one side.
Developed muscles came into view.
His body was so strong that it was incomparable to when he was working out at the Blackhead Training Center.
Height 182 and weight 80.
It was the number recorded in the chart handed over by the intensive care unit director.
In addition, all other values were displayed above the standard value.
But what good is all that?
It might not work against demons.
Taehyeon’s battle was no longer something that could be done with the human body.
The monster’s body.
Also, a body of the highest species was essential.
Maybe this kind of exercise is also done to remember that one is human.
That’s what I thought.
“The number of secret friends has increased.”
It was only a few hours ago that I woke up in the intensive care unit and left the conference room.
‘Strike the player first before the gate break occurs.’
We needed time to put those words into practice, and we decided to prepare individually until then.
The association’s job was to establish a national organization that could replace the World Players’ Association through the P20, and Taehyun’s job was to conduct turf wars in the Abyss and identify the trends of the archdukes.
‘Already a month.’
It would be right to go to Rosaria’s castle as soon as possible.
Taehyun couldn’t do that.
For some reason, I couldn’t pass through the gate to the Abyss.
‘The law of the Abyss has become stronger.’
That was the only reason that came to mind.
Either by using a physical gate or by using skills such as ‘Gate Apostle’.
Although all existing methods were used, the Abyss did not allow Taehyun to enter.
Other players were equally confused by this unusual situation, and Seo Sang-ik was currently trying to figure out the situation, saying he would find a way.
Taehyun visited the house to do things he had not been able to do before.
‘They said the items I had entrusted would be completed within this week… .’
It was said that the items requested for the Balaur Scale and Bordeaux’s Red Eye, which were entrusted to the Alchemist, will be completed within this week.
If it was late anyway, it would have been better to return with proper equipment.
Taehyun, who visually confirmed that there was no problem with his body, opened the status window.
“What has that guy done?”
The moment when my body was taken away for a moment.
Taehyun’s body was reassembled into the monster’s body as if it were Lego.
As a result, most of the temporarily increased stats returned to their original state, but the magic stats increased significantly.
This is enough to forcefully summon an archduke who has not signed a proper contract.
‘Still, there was income.’
I couldn’t help but laugh as I looked at ‘Lord of Desire’ in the skill window.
It is not something like the ‘Devil Gate’ that Kassim Zort strengthened with the power of Gorfer.
Great devil.
‘The power of Gorper.’
That power, the dark blue magic power it gave off, was absorbed as is, not just part of it.
I have already used the skill, which can be considered an enhanced version of the ‘Awakened Oath’, on a doppelganger.
‘This power can make up for the gaps in the oath.’
The Awoken’s Pact is a covenant that can be made between Awakened people, and it can be broken by a great player like Ricky Harlis.
The ‘Lord of Desire’ was able to exert a restraining power that even his doppelganger had no choice but to fulfill.
That means.
“It also works for archdukes.”
Before summoning the archdukes in earnest from the world of images, there was one condition that was set with the doppelgänger.
The guy claimed ownership of the body, and Taehyun only once.
He made it a condition that he would appear and lend his power when he needed it.

This is because I knew that permanent restrictions could not be enforced in the current state where the skill level was still immature.
As a result, Taehyun was the winner of the bet, and he was able to use his powers at least once.
I was sure.
There is now a way to put a leash on doppelgängers and archdukes.
“Gorper, you piece of luck.”
Although it is clear that he is the one who gave Taehyun a hard time.
Since I had handed over the coordinates of the hidden area and my authority, I no longer had the heart to hate.
Taehyun organized the situation in his head.
‘First, check the situation of Rosaria and Typhon. ‘Dominating the hidden realm comes next.’
Gorper, the lord of the castle, has died.
Beelzebub might have sent a new member.
Since the coordinates were memorized in the ‘Apostle of the Gate’, it was not difficult to re-enter.
‘Next time, I’ll attack you properly prepared.’
Whoever becomes the next castle lord.
Even if there is a great evil that surpasses Gorfer, you must be prepared.
Taehyun started exercising his lower body with his fighting spirit burning.
An ordinary day for an SSS-level player was passing by.
* * *
Taehyun stayed at home the next day and concentrated on training.
It’s not a bad idea to lie down at home like Hanryang and feel each muscle of your body without time constraints.
Of course, I wore earrings from time to time to take care of things that had been pushed back.
Players Association, Onsaemiro, Night Walker, Alchemist, Doge Corporation, etc.
Because there were a lot of things that had happened.
After finishing my core workout and putting on my earrings, I received a call from secretary Yoon Miso.
Taehyun contacted her again and heard the report.
[This is the new report on the Hanbit Guild.]
Secretary Yoon Miso spoke in a voice full of discipline as always.
“Thank you for your continued hard work regarding the Hanbit Guild… How is P20 doing?”
[China and the United States have not yet announced their intention to participate… I think we can come up with an appropriate assortment.]
“If the president of the association does anything, please provide adequate support without being caught.”
[All right.]
In addition, various reports continued.
Most of these are things you can find out through Night Walker.
It wasn’t a bad idea to hear the overall situation briefed like this.
Above all, Miso Yoon, who was chosen as the secretary, was more capable than expected, and what started as a small business soon grew into a mid-sized business.
All of this involved capital earned by Taehyun through his player activities.
‘Still, it’s amazing resourcefulness. If I do well, I won’t be inferior to Yoo Ah-young.’
Hanbit Guild was growing as much as Taehyun’s company.
If the current growth rate continues, it will be in the next two years.
In it, you will grow to a level similar to your previous life.
After hearing the entire report, Taehyun turned on the screen that Miso Yoon had installed.
Leaders of each country declared the end of the gray disease.
‘Now that I think about it, I couldn’t confirm the quest.’
The changes in stats and skills were so noticeable that I forgot the quest existed.
That’s it.
Tiring.
[Progress: 100%]
[Quest ‘Gray Disease’ has been completed.]
“Is it finally over?”
Venom of gray disease.
It is a disastrous epidemic that started using his magic power.
This time too, there were numerous casualties, but compared to the previous life, the numbers were small.
“It’s a shame there is no quest reward.”
Gray Disease has been registered since the quest function was first introduced, so I have never thought about compensation.
Moreover, since it was not a one-time quest like before, it was unreasonable to expect stat or skill rewards.
While I was thinking about that, suddenly.
Tiring.
[I recognize a huge being.]
[A huge magical power awakens.]
The purple and dark blue magic power contained in Taehyun’s body flickered.
“… … !!”
I was momentarily taken aback by the sudden situation.
Messages appeared one after another before my eyes.
[The magic power of the skill Devil’s Saliva (SSS) has changed.]
[The magic power of the summoning skill Beelzebub (SSS) has changed.]
[Skill eyes of the highest type (SSS) have been changed to eyes of the highest type (SSS).]
[The skill Heart of a Higher Species (SSS) has been changed to Heart of the Great Devil (SSS).]
[Skill Demonization (SSS) has been registered.]
“What is this…?” .”
It was an unexpected reward.
‘Demonization’ followed by ‘Demonization’.
In addition, the main skills, ‘Eyes of a High-Speed Race’ and ‘Heart of a High-Speed Race’, have also been upgraded to a higher level.
‘It’s not a bad skill.’
The description of the skill was enough to give an idea of its power.
“One more reason to return to the Abyss quickly.”
The deepest layer.
There must be someone inside who can test this power.
at that time.
I received a call from Seo Sang-ik.
[Have you found a way to go to the Abyss?]
Taehyun asked without hiding his expectations.
[no. The reason I’m contacting you this time is because of an item you ordered earlier.]
[Is that so.]
Without realizing it, there was regret in my voice.
[There are still some spares, but… The lineup that Taehyun will use is complete. Would you like to check it out?]
[Let’s go now.]
* * *
[welcome.]
When I entered Alchemist, Seo Sang-ik, who was waiting for me, immediately guided me to the product laboratory.
There, the items that Seo Sang-ik and the craftsmen had made over the past month were on display.
It was an infinite backpack with improved performance, a black belt long enough to wrap around the upper body, thin scale-shaped armor, and a white suit and shoes.
“Because these materials are so precious, we handle them with care… “It took longer than I thought.”
“Quality is more important than time.”
“Would you like to try it?”
Seo Sang-ik said that with a confident expression.
“of course.”
Taehyun took off his training clothes and put on scale-shaped armor.
It clung to the body as if it were not just armor but an original part of the body.
Immediately, the message that my physical strength had increased came to mind.
“Yongringap. This product is made from the scales of a gold dragon. Not to mention durability, and the size changes depending on the wearer’s body type.”
Seo Sang-ik continued explaining the remaining items one by one.
The main content was that they were all of the highest level among the unique grades, and because they used dragon scales, they would not be damaged by most impacts.
“It also has a self-healing function if the wearer has enough magical power. “It is a technology patented by Alchemist.”
It’s a bonus that he shows his pride in the guild every now and then.
The climax was a sword made from Bordeaux’s red eye.
The blue sword body had a red eye on the handle.
“Dragon Slayer Sword.”
Seo Sang-ik spoke the name of the sword with an overwhelmed expression.
“It’s a sword that slays dragons… .”
The name was so direct.
Taehyun laughed.
“The magic power of the blue dragon residing in the enemy’s eyes. Thanks to this, it has the properties of lightning.”
“If this is enough… .”
“yes. “It is a legendary grade item.”
Seo Sangik straightened his shoulders and said.
Taehyun picked up the sword and imbued it with magic.
Paz, that is. Pazzu ie.
The sword reacted to magic and sparks flew.
The power was so unusual that Seo Sang-ik, who was nearby, retreated.
My head stood up on end due to the effects of the thunderbolt.
Is that all?
Tiring.
[Skill Source Element (SSS) has been activated.]
“… … !!”
Erebus. And just like when he received Bordeaux’s power, his stats increased.
The skill was activated simply by infusing magical energy into the sword.
‘Amazing, Great.’
Taehyun was satisfied with the way to use the skill he had unexpectedly discovered.
I wanted to try this new item right away.
At that time, a thought occurred to my mind.
“Guild leader. “Where is the biggest dungeon now?”
