Chapter 112

Episode 112. Dalian (2)

A dark-skinned soldier looked down at the stage and stroked the mane of a battle horse.

purr.

The electric horse, with skin as black as the soldier’s, laid back its ears and stuck out its teeth.

He even kicked the ground with his hooves.

It is the clearest display of anger that words can give.

At that, the 66th Rank Demon King Cimmeries laughed heartily.

“guy. me too. After seeing player Yoon Taeyang, I am not satisfied.”

This was a common phenomenon not only for Cimmeries, but also for layer pillars on the 1st to 15th floors where the sun passed recently.

It was because after watching Taeyang’s play, he became unsatisfied with the slightest flash.

cooong.

As Chimeries rolled his foot lightly, a huge screen appeared in the air.

It was the result of visualizing the imaginary space in his head.

Mana management that is difficult even for a few demon lords.

Chimeries didn’t change even a single expression.

Anyone who was in charge of a position in the dimensional labyrinth could manage the level of Chimeries.

The screen implemented by Cimmeries was the shape of a huge library.

The name of this library where all the information that happened in the demon realm is recorded is ‘omniscience’.

It was managed by the 3rd rank demon king, Bassago of Prophecy.

Cimmeries found the part of the dimensional labyrinth with skillful hands.

Everything that happened in the dimensional labyrinth was recorded in the book as a mana arrangement and stored in the dimensional labyrinth part.

Chimeries searched the parts for a while and took out a book.

The book Chimeries took out was considerably stained compared to other books.

Pararak.

At the same time as the soiled book revealed my inner flesh, the shape of the library that Chimeries realized was drastically distorted.

It was a process of projecting the contents of the book.

purr.

Chimeries’ electric horse, which had been planted on the ground, raised its head and looked at the screen.

The sun in the screen was engaged in a decisive battle with PX-4889.

“It is a brilliant talent. No other player I’ve seen recently can compare.”

Purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

The horse nodded as if agreeing with Cimmeries.

The end of this video was the scene where Taeyang accepted the proposal of the last Balak on the 17th floor and entered the white door.

And from the other side of the door to the glimpse of Dantalian.

Cimmeries, who had been watching Taeyang for a long time, smiled.

The video was edited, so I couldn’t know the details, but I guessed roughly.

“Balak’s temperament is still Dantalian. The hair is still alive. An exquisite plate was laid.”

Ballack’s editing was flawless.

If I hadn’t seen it beforehand, I wouldn’t have noticed anything.

Chimeries was also able to notice it thanks to his interest in player Yoon Taeyang.

“Dantalian’s ways are always vicious. It’s something that even Balak is doing. Is it sponsorship?”

Due to Dantalian’s personality, it was unlikely that he would be a general supporter.

Perfect control or something of that level is at stake.

Dantalian was a demon king who knew how to influence in a way that even the contractor himself could not perceive.

This wouldn’t be good for the sun.

Cimmeries stroked the electric horse’s mane.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a tower with enough talent to clear it. It’s not worth leaving it like this. Do you think so too?”

purr.

The electric horse trembled.

“Separately, I have something to pay back to Yoon Taeyang.”

Almost caused the stage collapse of the Endless Express, but it was the sun’s work.

And on the contrary, he was the fault of Cimmeries who designed the stage.

At that time, Cimmeries forcibly adjusted the situation by using his position as the Demon King.

It was clearly a violation of the sun’s rights.

Some may insist that it is a natural right of the strong.

But for some, it is a debt of the heart.

Cimmeries belonged to the latter.

A black soldier rode on a black electric horse.

“Hey! Go to the 18th floor!”

***

[6-3 Dalian: Dalian with Balak the Demon King]

The system window was cut.

Dantalian explained the stage in a kind tone.

“Dalian lasts 11 minutes. Three times for 3 minutes per round. There are two breaks of one minute each. If your feet are firmly planted on the ground even after the sparring is over, it is your victory.”

“Oh there. Dantalian? Why are you here...”

“There are three conditions. first. Ballack’s and Player’s physical specifications are the same. The equipment also wears the same equipment as the player’s. second. Balak can only use as much mana as the sun can handle. It’s intuitive, so no other explanation is needed. and the last third. Balak can only use as many skills as the sun can use.”

“Wait a minute.”

The sun let out a laugh involuntarily.

I was curious about Dantalian’s presence here, but when I heard Dantalian talking, my curiosity disappeared from my sense of absurdity.

-Let’s exclude Belial for now. wealth power. I don’t know that deterrence forces the soul to sharpen, but it must be a good thing. But it’s not working right now. Artifacts like lightsabers and great contraptions are certainly valuable, but I don’t think they’ll be enough to get the extra stats guaranteed by the power of wealth.

There were a lot of players who were carrying things that were more valuable than the sun right now.

Since the property of the sun was not very competitive compared to other players, there was a high possibility that the ability growth that could be obtained with the power of money would also have some limits.

-Then, the Power of the Stars and the Authority of Perception. one of the two Is it just an added combat power or a weakness... ... .

The sun suddenly opened its mouth.

“that.”

“yes?”

“That book. Is it yours?”

The sun looked up at the book floating over Dantalian’s right shoulder.

To be precise, the red jewel embedded in the center of the book.

If the sun’s memory is correct, that jewel was the one that protected the sun from Balak’s front paws.

The sun looked at Dantalian.

“Are you the one who saved me?”

“this. I didn’t bother to reveal that it would affect the power selection, but it was discovered.”

Dantalian smiled slyly and shrugged.

Belial looked at him and wrinkled her nose, and Decavaria furrowed her brows in displeasure.

“Dantalian is cowardly.”

“This isn’t fair!”

“under.”

The sun bit his lip.

– What are you worried about?

– He said he saved me.

-Aren’t you supposed to choose between Decavaria and Dantalian anyway?

– Wrong.

-There will be a face-to-face from the first floor. Let’s go coolly to Dantalian!

Viewers’ opinions seemed reasonable.

But the sun was troubled.

‘why?’

The sponsorship offer from the demon lords definitely had elements that could be of help to Taeyang.

This was especially the case with the authority of the detective.

That’s why I didn’t want to accept Dantalian any more.

The reason is simple.

Because Dantalian’s intentions were unknown.

It is because I do not know the intention of reaching out to him from below.

Taeyang did not trust others.

Exactly, I couldn’t trust anyone except for a few people.

It had to be.

It’s because I met so many ugly people after losing my parents.

Evil business owners who rob minors of their wages.

Humans like cockroaches clinging to the story of Sun’s success.

Disgusting people who approached Byeolrim because they were poor and had smooth faces.

Even the humans who fled after hitting the back of the sun when Dantalian became a big box office success and the King of Fist faltered.

The only reliable people in life were Hyeon-hye and her parents.

I have met hundreds of thousands of people, but only six people I can trust.

To Taeyang, trusting humans was like taking an absurd gamble with probability.

Not even a human, but a demon king.

And, crucially, one more thing.

According to the revealed circumstances, the fact that ‘Balak attacked the sun and Dantalian blocked it’ was established.

There are two Demon Kings who intervene on stage.

This was a story that Balak’s actions were not temporary errors, but precise interactions made through causality.

Indeed, the demon lords were moving beyond the game setting.

The sun’s eyes sunk.

Soon the sun shook its head.

These little details didn’t matter.

The important thing right now is clearing the stage.

‘You have to choose a sponsor. It’s a damn choice.’

support.

It means to support and help from behind, but in other words, it also means that you can control the actions of the sun with that support and help.

At least until Byeolrim was saved, Taeyang did not want to be interfered with by anyone.

But it was a situation where I couldn’t choose.

Rule 7 All stages are designed to be cleared by the player’s ability.

This means that players should do the best they can.

And if Dantalian’s sincerity is included in that maximum.

“You can take it slow. You have to deal with the demon king, so please think carefully about your strength and what you need.”

It was then.

Woowook Boo.

The dimension is torn like a curtain.

all over again.

A black soldier appeared on a black horse.
