Regressing with the King’s Power Chapter 297

Episode 297:

The very first.

The law of the Abyss created by the King of the Underworld.

That intangible law applied to everyone who exists in the Abyss.

It also prevented monsters of higher species or higher from crossing over to Earth.

It also prevented monsters of the highest level or higher with gate technology from moving to other areas within the Abyss.

If there were no such restrictions, it was thought that war between Earth and the Abyss would continue due to indiscriminate movement.

The king did not stop the monsters’ struggle, but he also did not want the power of the underworld to be weakened by cutting off his own flesh in that way.

Even if you put up a big fence, things don’t always go as expected.

one two.

Each of the previous great princes found ways to circumvent the restrictions.

The methods of complementing and avoiding them conflict repeatedly.

Nowadays, when the highest level monsters cross the gate, they are made to pay a corresponding price.

Loss of existence.

Just deviating from the law causes an intangible force to pressurize the entire body, ultimately leading to extinction.

Taehyun also felt it.

‘That is not a power that can be denied.’

It’s literally a law.

It is no different from the Archduke.

There was a time when I thought that way.

It wasn’t.

Now that the king has disappeared.

Just like the previous archdukes did.

Modern princes have discovered ways to avoid the Law of the Abyss in various ways.

This was the case with movement through alter egos planted in the highest-ranking members of the family, such as Igmun.

Like Jormungand, there was also a way to lower the rank by using spirit.

The easiest way was to use humans as contractors.

As Earth’s anti-aircraft contractors become stronger, the limits on how they can move in the Abyss become looser.

Taehyun paid attention to those things.

Until now, he had used his human body to freely travel between the Earth, the Abyss, and the deepest depths.

However, as he grew older, the restrictions of the Abyss recognized Taehyun as a monster.

When the ‘higher species’ eyes’ were followed by the ‘higher species’ heart’.

Constraints were at their peak.

Just like the archdukes did.

Taehyun came up with a way to minimize the limitations of the Abyss.

Training the body, not magical power.

In this way, it maintained its original human nature rather than a demonized body.

He tried to overcome the limit in a different way than Min Ji-hong or Kassim Jort.

That thought was not wrong.

Although it was still impossible to avoid the limitations of the Abyss due to its vast skill and magical power.

Taehyun’s rapidly growing physical abilities helped him not to forget that his essence was as a human being.

That is why Taehyun was able to travel to the deepest level with relatively few restrictions using the ‘Apostle of the Gate’.

Taehyun can’t be the only one with such abilities.

Even if they are not a higher species, there will be more beings that can use the gate.

However, with their power, they cannot move the Archdukes at will.

Taehyeon’s specialness in turf wars originated here.

A ‘summoning skill’ that can be used at any time as long as the conditions are met.

‘Gate Apostle’ that can replace the role of a large gate.

‘Predation’ that can lower the opponent’s rank.

‘Energy Drain’ that can fill in insufficient magical power.

We have already confirmed that Rosaria can be moved to various places in the deepest layer by using these skills.

It was still necessary to send her out of the deepest level and to have her power reduced to that of an SSS level monster.

That alone was sufficient income.

“Once you reach the level of a large supply, you will quickly recover your strength, and you will be able to demonstrate a level of power that puts your level of power to shame.”

Taehyun calmly mentioned that fact.

Quad deuk. Quad deuk.

The maw of the predator bit into Rosaria and Typhon’s arms.

[Pfft… What are you doing to your body…!!]

Unlike Rosaria, who was moaning.

Typhon frowned and shouted.

The force was so strong that my head was pounding.

“What are you doing? “It’s a task so that we can all get to the castle safely.”

Taehyun responded as if Typhon’s reaction was not important.

[What…]

Typhon’s expression was one of confusion at the lack of explanation.

[Just keep quiet and watch. If you shout, it won’t end in you going crazy.]

Following Taehyun, Rosaria sarcastically said that it was too bothersome to explain.

Normally, Typhon wouldn’t give in to that level.

Rosaria’s tentacles were still touching his body.

I can’t believe I gave up one of my arms and it felt like this.

[Hehe… Yes… We’re on the same boat, aren’t we?]

Typhon said that and relaxed his guard.

A look of disgust bloomed on Rosaria’s face.

“don’t worry. “It will be over soon.”

Taehyun said that and strengthened the ‘Heart of a High-ranking Race’ and ‘The Eyes of a High-ranking Race’.

The status of the two archdukes was clearly visible in the synchronized enemy eyes.

SSS grade highest.

Rosaria’s body, which had been in a series of battles, and Typhon’s body, which had not yet fully recovered, were reduced to that level.

Coincidentally, Taehyun’s awakening level has also grown to SSS level.

In terms of physical specifications, there seemed to be enough to move both of them.

“good.”

Tiring.

[Skill Gate Apostle (SSS) has been activated. Calculate the coordinates. Specifies the location.]

Quaaaaa.

A huge gate was created above Taehyun’s head.

It is a size that would not be surprising even if it was assisted by a large gate.

It’s bigger than when I practiced before.

This was the result of Taehyun’s awakening level increasing after making a pact of summoning with Typhon.

[Are you telling me to get over this?]

“No. “There is no need for that.”

[…?]

“Just borrow some magic power.”

Tiring.

[Skill Energy Drain (SS) has been activated. Specifies the target.]

Sigh. Sigh.

Magical power, which took the form of a chain, wrapped Typhon’s limbs.

Tsuzzzzzzzzzz.

With that alone, the magical energy that had been consumed was quickly replenished.

Of course, Typhon didn’t look good after being pulled out of magical power twice after Rosaria.

[They are trying to suck out the marrow of your unripe body.]

“I will reverse summon you from now on. If the Law of the Abyss comes into play, the load will be significant. “Please take care of yourself when you arrive.”

[Usually, I start with that explanation first…]

Taehyun did not wait for Typhon to finish speaking.

Tiring.

[The summoning skill Typhon (SSS) has been activated. Specifies the target.]

What we are trying to do now is not a normal summoning, but a reverse summoning.

Wrinkles appeared on Taehyun’s forehead as he controlled his magical power.

[Calculate the coordinates. The location has been specified. Magic power consumption accelerates.]

Giiiiing.

The sound of the ‘heart of a higher species’ accelerating to support magical power could be clearly heard.

It didn’t take long for the skill to fully activate.

Puzzle!!

Typhon’s massive body was sucked into the gate in the blink of an eye.

To blow away an anti-aircraft gun from the deepest level of the Abyss.

If other people had seen it, it would have been an unbelievable sight.

It was the same for Rosaria, who had already experienced it.

[I wonder if it is truly an amazing ability.]

“Whew… Let’s just fill up our magic power and let’s go right away.”

[Hehehe. Yes, come here.]

Rosaria’s tentacles gently stroked Taehyun.

With that alone, the mana filled up quickly.

[The magic power stored has increased a lot.]

Rosaria has already taken a lot of magic power from Typhon.

The magic flowing into Taehyun was stronger than before.

Certainly, the magic power exceeding 500 is unbelievable even compared to other stats.

“It’s still not enough.”

Taehyun was not satisfied with his current growth.

It is essential to summon the Archduke in the future war.

‘Maybe I’ll summon both at the same time.’

To prepare for such a case, it was necessary to increase magical power as much as possible before other stats.

Tiring.

[Summoning skill Rosaria (SSS) has been activated. Specify the target.]

[Calculate the coordinates. The location has been specified. Magic power consumption accelerates.]

[Don’t wait at the castle.]

“Okay.”

Puzzle!!

Just like Typhon did.

Rosaria’s body was sucked into the gate.

Now all that was left was Taehyun.

‘As long as we cross this gate, this plan will end successfully.’

Taehyun thought that as he stepped into the gate.

A red message appeared before my eyes.

Tiring.

[You cannot pass through the gate.]

[You must lower your level of existence.]

‘Isn’t that possible?’

Taehyun chuckled at the situation that wasn’t resolved easily.

I thought that the increased grade might only apply to me as an exception.

In fact, it seemed to have the opposite effect.

‘Is it because of the higher level?’

Alternatively, it may be a temporary restriction using the ‘Heart of a Higher Species’.

Taehyun quickly gathered his thoughts.

It is not difficult to temporarily lower magical power.

However, the term “existence” bothered me.

As time passes, the risk of using the ‘Heart of a Higher Species’ may disappear.

Taehyun didn’t have much time.

Unlike Rosaria or Typhon.

There is no one anywhere in the Abyss who can summon Taehyun.

“I can’t help it.”

Taehyun canceled ‘Apostle of the Gate’.

Tiring.

[Skill Stealth (SSS) has been activated.]

Ssssssut.

The body assimilated with its surroundings.

Leaving behind the collapsed 2nd castle of Orgal.

Taehyun took a step forward.

* * *

Orgal arrived about three hours after Taehyun left.

Considering the distance from the 17th castle that was fighting Rosaria, this is an unbelievable speed.

Immediately after Rosaria disappeared from the battlefield.

Orgal realized that Taehyun had summoned Rosaria.

Oath of Summoning.

Is it impossible for an ordinary human to dare to summon the Archduke?

Kim Tae-hyun is the key chosen by the king.

Since he was the one who summoned Igmun from Beelzebub’s castle, it wouldn’t be surprising if he could do more.

What Orgal faced when he returned like that.

It was the two collapsed castles and their own descendants struggling.

[Orgal. Typhon… has been resurrected.]

[It is presumed that many castle lords, including Gort, have disappeared.]

[There are no 2-star survivors.]

The highest-ranking species that fought a turf war with him in the past.

They are all posting negative reports.

Normally, it would not be surprising if the head was ripped off.

However, the bleeding was too much.

Rosaria.

He brought this on himself because his judgment was clouded by the lure of being able to take that damn woman’s head.

[Everyone return to your place.]

[If you come back.]

[Rearrange your troops. There will be an invasion by other guys.]

Fearing that Orgal would change his mind, the family members quickly dispersed.

Orgal, who was left alone in the ruins of the castle, gritted his teeth.

[Kim Tae-hyun… You are crawling….]

Dream demons and giants.

Taehyun, who has acquired the power of two races, is no longer just a contractor.

It wasn’t even the weak king’s key that could be obtained whenever he wanted.

Now that we have formed a single force.

Its existence alone had to be seen as the next major supply.

Wow.

Orgal swallowed his struggles and headed toward the main castle.

We had to prepare for the reactions of other archdukes who heard the information.

Just as he thought.

It didn’t take long for news of Typhon’s resurrection to reach the other princes.

* * *

The deepest part of the Abyss.

A huge castle floated under the red sky.

It was so huge and majestic that if anyone on Earth had seen it, they would have thought it was a fortress.

grandee.

It was the castle of Lucifer, otherwise known as a fallen angel.

[Right. Has Typhon awakened?]

Lucifer muttered quietly after receiving the report from his family.

[Kim Tae-hyun.]

Lucifer spoke the name of the human who woke Typhon.

Rosaria’s contractor.

The key chosen by the king.

[King of the Underworld.]

A man with the Archduke, who ruled the Abyss in a human body, at his feet.

The key is to become the MacGuffin of the race war that even the King of the Underworld could not end.

It wasn’t surprising that the dead archduke was resurrected.

Rather, it made me laugh because I could guess what the king was thinking.

[I have a feeling what the key’s role is.]

Predation.

The power that symbolizes the king is simply the power to grow the key.

[I guess he wants them to grow and grow like he did, and to have them under his feet. Our Grand Dukes.] Just

as in the past, the king made Rosaria, who was just an ordinary monster, into a Grand Duke to keep other Grand Dukes in check.

Crack.

Lucifer bit his teeth without realizing it.

Two of the Abyss’ archdukes have already attached themselves to Kim Tae-hyun.

Typhon would recover quickly and regain his former power.

[I don’t think so.]

Lucifer spread his gray wings.

I thought of a person who had been prepared for times like this.

A human who accepted his gray magic power into his weak body.

Yet, people rejected that power, dismissing it as something dirty.

Cody Cruz.

[Call him.]

The servants bowed their heads at Lucifer’s command.
