Episode 371
[Kim Tae-hyun, you damn bug!! Are we going to die together?]
Devlin let out a rage as he absorbed Taehyun’s attack.
It was a battle worth risking your life for.
The match went back to square one.
No, rather, Devlin’s vitality is fading away at this very moment.
It is a battle where the only thing to lose is loss.
The blood sword in her hand trembled.
If it weren’t for the thunderbolts running through my body, I would have cut my limbs into pieces long ago.
“I guess so if the battle continues like this.”
Taehyun said this as he checked on his group entering the area of the Blood Field.
[What nonsense are you talking about?]
Weren’t you the first to accept the conditions Jormungand put forward?
Devlin shouted.
Although I am naturally hot-tempered.
It was difficult to maintain my senses as I was playing with words even as the shadow of death approached me by the minute.
“iced coffee. It was like that. I just realized that the Elyos were stronger than I thought and that if things continued like this, things would only go as Jormungand wanted. “If we recognized it now, wouldn’t we have to correct it?”
Devlin’s body shook at his shameless attitude.
It is unbearably disgusting. [How dare
you interfere with the battle of your hometown
…. for that reason?
Shhh. Hiss.
The blood sword flicked its tongue as if representing Devlin’s feelings.
That’s it.
Verona approached and placed a hand on her shoulder.
Tsuzzzzzz.
The magical energy absorbed from the blood field was contained in the body.
It was an action to hide her magical power, which had begun to decline a little while ago.
[Calm down, Devlin. [Now…]
There isn’t much time left.
Verona swallowed those words.
If things continue like this, only the woman who used Blood Flower will die.
Wow.
Devlin bit his teeth.
This is because I am not aware that the power that was gnawing away at my body is slowly showing its limits.
Before the first magic stone shatters.
Before other guys find out about this and take advantage of it.
[I will tear one of them to death.]
Devlin, who found reason with Verona’s help, unleashed his magic.
Taehyun’s group and even the three Valkyries flinched from the overwhelming magical power.
Taehyun is also a user of ‘Blood Rush’.
I did not know that the cost of using such power was considerable.
“I guess there isn’t much time left.”
[…!!]
[…!!]
[….]
[….]
Taehyun grinned at the expected reaction.
Now, let’s overturn the order Jormungand created.
It was time to make a new plan.
“I propose a bet. I can assure you that it will not be bad for you either.”
That look.
He seemed just as cunning as Jormungand.
* * *
Tsuzzzzzzzz!!
Upon hearing Taehyun’s suggestion, magical energy exploded from Devlin’s body.
bloke. bloke. bloke. bloke.
[This guy is worse than a bug!!]
Kaaang!!
Taehyun hastily blocked Devlin’s magical power with ‘Apostle of Darkness’.
With just one blow, the sword created with skill shattered.
“I thought it wasn’t a bad offer?!!”
Those words sounded like mockery to others.
The proposal was not complicated.
Whoever wins the grand battle holds the power over the life and death of others.
The message was that Taehyun would persuade the Valkyries if they accepted it.
When I saw Gunne and Skaarl watching from afar, I could see that they had already accepted it.
Otherwise, there would be no way the lowly warriors of the Upper World would not take advantage of an opportunity like this.

So you should ignore it.
You must not play with that treacherous tongue.
Reason, with not much instinct left, was saying that.
“Think about it carefully….”
Wedge.
Kyaang!!
Taehyun raised the recovered dragon slayer sword and struck down the blood sword aimed at his neck.
It was Verona who attacked, not Devlin.
[Such a suggestion. Do you think you will accept it?]
Unlike Devlin, Verona spoke in a calm tone.
‘Is this guy the real leader?’
Taehyun thought as he looked behind her.
Igmun’s household has been greatly reduced to six.
They were all unusual guys.
‘Just looking at this guy right now…’
Taehyun thought as he looked at Devlin, who was radiating ghostly energy and the scent of blood as if he were blood incarnate.
Although they were originally one of the strongest among the vampire clan.
It became stronger due to the influence of the barrier and blood field installed in the Temple of Blood.
Is that all?
The blood field spread by Igmun is being accepted into the body.
No matter how risky the power is.
‘I guess everyone has a secret secret.’
It was fortunate that Devlin’s energy was gradually weakening.
[What kind of bait did you give to those lowly creatures?]
Devlin said, keeping an eye on the Valkyries who were watching quietly from a distance.
“It’s a bit much since I’ve made new secret friends.”
[That guy…]
Unlike his smiling face.
Taehyun recalled the conversation he had with Scal a little while ago.
Not even ten minutes have passed.
This happened while I was desperately blocking the attack she was making.
* * *
“It’s definitely a great attack. “You don’t think it will work against the archdukes, do you?”
[It’s none of your business.]
“Think carefully, Valkyrie Skaarl. Do you think Jormungand will let you go if you defeat us? “What about Igmun and Rosaria who lost their families?”
[….]
Her lips exposed under the helmet were closed.
Because I know.
This is the grand dukes’ pastime.
No matter how many of the Archduke’s descendants are defeated.
“You cannot return from here alive.”
Taehyun spoke out her thoughts.
Quaaaaa.
Radiance once again gathered in Skaarl’s hands.
Tiring.
[Skill Gate Apostle (SSS) has been activated. [Specify the location.]
The arrow of brilliance was sucked into the gate.
Quang.
The explosion sound occurred inside the Blood Field at a considerable distance.
“My magical power is still sufficient. If you take your time. “Who will be at a disadvantage?”
[I installed it, relying on my humble talent.]
Paz, that is. That’s it.
More brilliance gathered into Skaarl’s bow than before.
‘Five… no, ten shots.’
This is not at a level that can be blown away with the ‘Apostle of the Gate’.
[If you block it, it will be broken. That is the mission of Odin’s Valkyries.]
“Oh, that’s right.”
Tiring.
[Skill Gate Apostle (SSS) has been strengthened. Magic power consumption accelerates.]
Quaaaa. Quaa. Quaaaaa.
Ten gates were created around Skaarl.
[Something like that.]
There was ridicule in Skaarl’s voice.
It’s absurd that Taehyun is only trying to block his attacks to this extent.
Soon, the arrow that left the demonstration made a sound that felt like the air was going to burst.
It even felt like the space had been torn apart.
Seven out of ten shots went through the gate.
If you want to avoid it, you can avoid it.
However, even then, the safety of the party confronting Gunne cannot be guaranteed.
I concentrated my magic power on the ‘eyes of the highest species.’
Tiring.
[Unique skill Predation (SSS) has been activated.]
Ugh.
A huge swamp was created beneath Taehyun’s feet.
The moment when an arrow like God’s judgment approaches.
Ugh.
The maw, which had grown in size, revealed its teeth.
Kwaduk!!
bang. bang. bang. bang.
An explosion was heard inside.
Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. Tsk.
The maw of predation just licked its appetite as if it didn’t care.
[Predation…!!]
Valkyrie Skaarl groaned and muttered as if chewing.
“Is your reaction strange?”
[Why do you have that power…]
Taehyun tilted his head as he looked at Skaarl’s blue eyes shaking inside the helmet.
These are the people who came to spy on Ha-gye.
No matter how long they stayed in the underworld.
It was strange not knowing the identity of Taehyeon, who caused a turf war and devastated the underworld.
Except for one reason.
‘Is this the law of the Abyss again?’
An absolute restriction imposed by the King of the Underworld as a safety measure.
If it’s the power that shakes even the memories of the Grand Dukes, it’s no wonder they don’t recognize Taehyun.
Of course, it seems like there was some change in my memory due to the attack a little while ago.
[I see… the key… you… the master was looking for…]
Skaarl’s blue eyes trembled.
It was not unfamiliar to see him confused as to whether a new memory was being put together in his head.
It was an opportunity.
Something that can cause minimal shock to the guy.
but.
Taehyun calmly bit into the mouth of Predation.
‘I can’t finish it all at once anyway.’
I could see it clearly in my eyes.
Every part of its body was stained red, and as soon as it was injured, a radiance covered that part with blue.
This meant that it was not yet possible to completely devour it through ‘predation’.
‘I guess it means there’s still something hidden.’
If the battle continues like this, it will be dangerous.
Even if we defeat Skaarl here, Gunne remains.
Even if you defeat Gunne, you have to deal with Eir.
In the process, some of Taehyeon’s forces would inevitably disappear.
‘It’s not a good picture.’
As if it wasn’t enough to take back the magical power of predation, he put the dragon slayer sword at his waist.
[What does it mean?]
“I want to talk.”
[Still saying such nonsense….]
“The proposal I am making from now on is not as a contractor for Grand Duke Rosaria, but as Kim Tae-hyun, the key to the King of the Underworld.”
[….]
How sweet was the bait called the Underworld King.
It didn’t take long to convince the two Valkyries who had no idea.
This was when Devlin used Blood Flower and Eir used the Spear of Longinus, aiming for each other’s lives.
* * *
“I’ll say it again. Even if we start an all-out war among ourselves, we will be annihilated. Rosaria and Igmun will lose their main forces, and the final winner will eventually be Jormungand.”
[Bullshit.]
[Bullshit.]
[Nothing to listen to.]
[We will also use Blood Fire.]
Four other top-level species, who had been watching the situation the whole time, stood next to Devlin and Verona.
Here, I felt a resolute will to burn my life to the end, not to be fooled by those snake-like words.
[….]
Only Verona remained silent.
As she looked at the others excited, she looked at the situation.
Devlin’s blood painting lasted 20 minutes at most.
When she disappears immediately afterwards, their fortunes are once again shaken.
On the other hand, Valkyrie and Kim Tae-hyun’s group are still at full strength.
Her eyes turned to Gilfer, who was among the crowd.
[Inviting the Great Evil….]
How did Taehyun become Beelzebub’s elite troop?
It is unknown whether the ancient great devil was brought into the party.
One thing is certain.
If an all-out war continues like this, they will suffer the greatest loss.
On the other hand, Taehyun Kim and Devlin.
What if it’s just the two of you competing?
If only Taehyun Kim could get his hands on it, he would be in the same situation as now.
It can be overturned in an instant.
It is not a win that cannot be accepted.
No matter what tricks Kim Tae-hyun does.
The current Devlin is an ancient archdemon.
They have enough power to overwhelm even the Valkyries in front of them who are considered to be on the same level as them.
[Devlin.]
[Have you made a decision?]
[….]
There was no need to talk too much.
[If that’s what you thought, then that’s what it is. It worked out better.]
Devlin’s red eyes towards Taehyun took on a sinister, murderous look.
[Arrogant human being. Try using that great power.]
“It’s a great choice.”
Tiring.
[Skill Master of Desire (SSS) has been activated. Specifies the target.]
Puhuaak.
Dark blue magical power enveloped the area.
The winner takes everything.
A pact was made between the mighty and the mighty.
at the same time.
Devlin came brandishing two blood swords.
Kyaang!! Kyaang!! Kyaang!!
My hand was tingling as I blocked it with the dragon slayer sword.
‘Did you say it was blood painting? He must have overpowered Valkyrie with that power.’
Just like Skaarl did.
Taehyun is a person that is difficult to deal with in a true attack.
then.
Tiring.
[Skill Blood Rush (SSS) has been activated. A huge power is awakened.]
[Skill Great Devil’s Heart (SSS) has been activated.]
Kiiiiing.
With blood-red magic.
A huge magic stone was created within the body.
“There’s nothing I can’t do, right?”
