Episode 447:
Rattling.
The strong body that had crushed countless monsters until now trembled.
Gula looked down at his trembling body as if he couldn’t believe it.
I raised my head and looked around.
A darkness made up of the magical power of the underworld had descended.
It’s not some kind of talent.
Because Gula’s perception ability was declining just by being in this space.
Is that all?
The more he resisted, the stronger the chains constricting his body became, and all of his spiritual power was draining away.
proportional to that.
The blue eyes of my prey in front of me glowed more and more intensely.
It is being absorbed.
A famous slave hunter in the 10 heavens, he will become a member of the Absolute’s family and become a member of the great war.
[This power of Gula!!]
Kwajik. Kwazijic.
“He’s a tough guy.”
Taehyun did not hide his admiration as he watched Gula forcefully break the chains of restraint.
However, enough spiritual power had already been absorbed.
[Immense power has been refined. Spiritual power has increased by 1.]
That message came to mind ten more times.
Tiring.
[The grades are remeasured.]
[The grades of all skills are measured as D.]
‘Bingo.’
Taehyun smiled slightly at the situation as expected.
When the status window’s spiritual power reached 75, the seal blocking the skill was unlocked one level further.
‘Wasn’t he a sloppy guy after all?’
The higher the magic stat, the more difficult it becomes to raise.
Spiritual power would be no different.
A little while ago, the Elyos were only able to rise from 50 to 60 after absorbing the power of five people.
On the other hand, Gula single-handedly increased Taehyun’s strength from 60 to 75.
Even at this moment, Taehyun’s spiritual power was continuing to rise, and each time, Taehyun’s blue eyes glowed more vividly.
There is nothing more exciting than growth, so it is time to savor its sweet power.
Wow!!!
Gula has completely broken the ‘chain of restraint’.
[Crara!!]
With a shout, I took out a straight-shaped weapon that had never been revealed from my arms.
In Gula’s hands, it was nothing more than a dagger, but in Taehyeon’s perspective, it was no different from a long sword.
The enormous divine power wrapped around Jikdo was noticeable.
Worth at least a unique level.
‘No way… Legendary level?’
Even if I pull out the dragon slayer sword and block it, in my current condition.
‘Dangerous.’
Taehyun dodged it just at the timing when Gula swung hard.
It must have split the air.
Suddenly.
“…!!”
That alone split ‘Apocalypse’.
[How dare you try to eat this Gula!! A mere slave!!]
Gula roared from beneath the disappeared darkness.
That alone caused a gust of wind to blow throughout the area.
‘It’s more than I thought.’
Just by having a muscular body, this guy has already surpassed the top intermediate level.
But now.
This guy started a new change.
The body, which was filled with muscles, is expanding once again.
Of course, the power to break the ‘chain of bondage’.
‘Strength that cut down even the apocalypse.’
It looked as if the power of reinforcement had been used.
I was fascinated by the stronger presence reflected in his blue eyes.
If the ‘predation’ skill had been unlocked, I wouldn’t have put up with it.
Taehyun looked at the status window.
As the grade increases to D, the skills that can be used increase.
Without hesitation, I used one of the anti-aircraft skills that had been unlocked.
Tiring.
[Skill True Blood (D) has been activated.]
Kiiiii-.

I felt a vampire magic stone being created inside my body.
A skill that contains the power of ‘absorption’, which has the best synergy with ‘Energy Drain’.
A new chain of restraint was used.
Every time Gula swung the straight sword, not only did the chain break, but an elongated sword energy was shot out.
‘Don’t overdo it.’
Taehyun pulled out his dragon slayer sword and circled around the guy.
Fazizik. Pajik.
The blue clan’s unique spirit was awakened and sparks flew.
There is no buff effect because the ‘root element’ is not activated, but at least in the current state, it looks better than taking that sword with your bare body.
‘It’s done in just one go.’
Tiring.
[Skill Knight King’s spirit (D) has been strengthened. Magic consumption is accelerated.]
[Skill Lord’s Mettle (D) has been strengthened. Magic consumption accelerates.]
Kuung. Coogugung.
Although the two spirit skills were weak, they slowed down the guy’s movements.
Sigh. Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
I got on his nerves with ‘Chains of Binding’ and ‘Energy Drain’.
Gula, who had experienced a considerable sense of divine power a little while ago, showed signs of running wild and swinging his sword.
Every time Taehyun, the target, dodged here and there, the vicious sword energy clawed all over the temple.
The opportunity came unexpectedly.
Suddenly, Gula’s attack stopped.
And that too in a fairly unnatural posture.
The gigantic Gula was struggling to keep the straight sword raised in the same position.
‘…?’
Taehyun stepped back and watched Gula’s actions.
It was a blatant move that could hardly be called a trap.
It seemed like something was wrong, as the divine power flowing around the guy’s body became unstable.
‘suddenly?’
[Kahak…!!]
Gula screamed and tried to swing his arms.
The raised arm did not move, as if it had become one with space.
[It’s because of the rules of the City Temple!!] The one
who shouted that was Tolkien, who was watching the battle with bated breath.
King of Sanggye in return for drawing his sword in a non-combat zone. Or, it is clear that the magic of the master of the 10 heavens was at work.
He poured out his thoughts one by one.
‘Then what about me?’
I wanted to ask that, but it wasn’t the time to waste any more time.
Whether it is the magic of the King of the Upper World or the magic of the master of the Ten Heavenly Realms.
Crackling.
Taehyun strengthened the hand holding the dragon slayer sword.
In that brief moment, the chains of restraint had completely wrapped around Gula’s body.
This is when the message that my physical strength stat is increasing came to mind five more times.
The guy’s presence seemed to have noticeably weakened.
‘Now is the time.’
Crack!!
Taehyun jumped in and plunged his dragon slayer sword into Gula’s defenseless chest.
‘Energy Drain’ and ‘True Blood’ have been strengthened.
Pazuzuzu that is!!
Taehyun expended a large amount of magical power and poured out a large amount of electricity, but soon a considerable amount of divine power rushed into Taehyun’s body.
[Immense power has been refined. Spiritual power has increased by 1.]
Kiiiii-.
The magic stone, which had been downgraded to D grade, spun furiously and refined the divine power that was being sucked in.
10 seconds… 30 seconds… 1 minute passed.
At the same time as the spiritual power stat reaches 80.
Cooung.
Gula’s body, stripped of most of its spiritual power, fell forward.
Tiring.
[The grade has been remeasured.]
[The grade of all skills has been measured as C.]
Another level of seal has been released.
‘There is no other medicine.’
Taehyun raised the corners of his mouth as he looked at Gula, who was completely injured.
[Oh…]
Tolkien shed tears of emotion, not befitting the title of Meister.
* * *
“Ah….”
Taehyun moaned involuntarily at the new power filling his body.
‘It is a completely different power from magical power.’
If magic exists only for the amplification and destruction of power.
‘Divine power is close to power.’
The concentration of power itself is at least similar to that handled by the Great Demons.
‘I’ll have to explore it when I get back to the underworld.’
The remaining time limit for the quest is 8 minutes.
There is some time left before returning to the lower world.
Taehyun had no intention of wasting that time.
Reached C grade and three more skills were unlocked.
‘I should try it.’
Tiring.
[Skill Ataraxia (C) has been activated. Specifies the target.]
[‘Mysterious power’ resists.]
[Activation of skill Ataraxia (C) has been cancelled.]
“….”
Taehyun was left speechless by the skill that bounced off him as if it was obvious.
Is it because of the skill level or the special environment of the temple?
There wasn’t enough time to figure out why Rosaria’s skills weren’t working.
[Well, you’re amazing… you caught Gula…]
Tolkien, who kept in mind what I said at the auction house, came up late and paid tribute to Taehyeon.
They say he is the proud meister of the clan.
The sight reminded me of a hopeless child.
[In front of Gula… don’t be arrogant… don’t tremble…]
Gula, who had lost most of his spiritual power due to energy drain, spoke as if he was vomiting.
[Are you not letting your guard down and not being able to admit defeat? It’s ugly.]
Taehyeon mocked the slave hunter who had once overwhelmed him.
[Clark clack…. The Absolute is coming….]
[Struggling until the end…]
Unlike Taehyun, who calmly accepts the situation.
[Oh no…!!]
Tolkien shouted in shock.
From Gula’s perspective, it was a truly satisfying response.
[Giggle…. Horus…. He is coming…. You will not be able to escape the bondage of slavery….]
Gula cursed as if he was prophesying.
[You have to run away too…!!]
The Absolute is a completely different being.
Tolkien, recalling his last nightmare, shouted loudly.
‘The absolute ruler of the 10 heavens… Horus…’
They are the same as the great dukes of the heavens.
If he was in perfect condition, he’s someone I’d like to face at least once.
‘We must never meet now.’
Even if I had obtained the spiritual power stats, I didn’t know that there was an absolute gap. [
I spend
time hiding inside the Tolkien Temple…]
This is the moment to say that.
Cooung.
Suddenly, it felt like the temple was shaking.
And belatedly.
Creepy.
A huge presence enveloped the temple.
It wasn’t speculation or survival.
The energy that comes from simply existing.
‘This… is the power of existence of the Absolute.’
Taehyun stuck out his tongue at the sheer absurdity.
There was no difference between dealing with it in its current state and doing something about it.
I checked the skill and quest time limits in the status window.
‘There are 5 minutes left. I somehow make time.’
Phew.
Taehyun pierced Gula’s chest with the dragon slayer sword.
This is to suck out all the remaining spiritual power left in order to save the guy’s life.
[Kak…. Kul… Luck…. Kk… Huh….]
Gula spoke words that were so muffled that I couldn’t understand them.
The meaning was clear.
You guys can’t escape from here.
When all his spiritual power was taken away, his body dried up on the floor of the temple.
[all… It’s all wrong….]
Tolkien continued with a bewildered expression.
Meanwhile, the distance from the gigantic being was rapidly shrinking.
[Don’t worry, Tolkien.]
[You’re only doing this because you don’t know Horus…]
Taehyeon bent down and placed his hand on the dwarf’s shoulder.
[I will take you to the underworld no matter what happens.]
[….]
There is a lot of work to be done in the underworld, so don’t forget the promise you made at the auction house.
Taehyun’s expression was so confident as he said that.
Tolkien nodded without realizing it.
* * *
[Insignificant things used power in the temple.]
Horus clicked his tongue and sensed the divine power flowing from inside the temple.
It’s not just spiritual power.
horsepower.
A miscellaneous power that only monsters from the underworld can use.
Considering the two forces mixed together, it could be expected that there was a battle to capture slaves.
Only the Absolute can use power in the temple.
If those who do not use power, the magic of the master of the 10 heavens will be applied and they will be hunted by the Absolutes sent afterwards.
[No matter how humble the slave hunters are, they wouldn’t know that.]
Horus sped up inside the temple as if he couldn’t understand.
Before long, we reached the innermost part of the temple, where a high concentration of magical power and chaotic divine power could be felt.
Beyond the aisle.
I could feel the energy of the high quality and top quality that Horus was aiming for.
[Little things made a big difference…]
Before I could finish the sentence.
Hahahahaha.
Darkness fell around.
and.
[Welcome Horus.]
A pair of red eyes glowing in the darkness welcomed him.
