Chapter 116

Episode 116. Dalian (6)

[I have met many players so far, but the player Taeyang Yoon is stronger than any other player. At least on the 18th floor, there was no player stronger than this, and I can assure you there will be no more in the future. Outrageously, he slaughtered a dragon, took two dragon hearts, and became the closest person to a dragon among humans in the dimensional labyrinth. I hate to admit it, but even the possibility of a transcendent person was glimpsed in the human subject. Personally, I wish that player Yoon Taeyang would die. But he will probably overcome them all and reach the front line.]

[Acquisition: Balak Certified Z-Grade.]

The most surprising thing was seeing the sun’s ‘comprehensive evaluation’ written by Balak. It was the fact that the demon lords were more surprised than the sun when they first saw the Z class.

“It’s surprising that it’s a Z-rank.”

“oh. Are you serious? Giving a Z-class to a player who slaughtered a Balaur?”

“The day is coming when Balak will give human players Z-ranks!”

The sun frowned and looked at the demon lords.

“What is the Z-rank?”

“Kuhm.”

While the two demon kings were talking, Decavaria, the 69th rank demon king, approached the sun.

“Z rank is the highest rank that the demon king can give.”

“The highest grade?”

“okay. Generally, grades that can be given range from F to S+. Well, the S+ grade was not originally a grade, but thanks to some players who showed strength outside the standard, it was newly created.”

“Okay, what is the Z-class?”

Decavaria raised one eyebrow at the words of the sun that cut off her words and entered.

“Why what?”

“Keuheum Z-class has different standards. If the rest of the ratings are absolute ratings, the Z rating can be seen as a relative rating.”

“Relative evaluation?”

“okay. The Z rank is the rank given to the player that the demon king thinks is the best among the players he has ever met. You are the only player in the dimensional labyrinth who received Balak’s Z-rank.”

At Decavaria’s words, the sun peeked at Balak.

“... ... Didn’t he hate me?”

“I guess I had no choice but to acknowledge my abilities apart from my dislikes.”

Balak, who heard the two of them, frowned.

The reason Balak gave Taeyang a Z rating was simple.

Balak and Taeyang battled, and as a result, Taeyang won.

I couldn’t help but give Taeyang a Z grade because of his face as the head of the floor.

“It’s a damn thing.”

Although there are aspects of him being swayed by emotions, Balak was a demon king who thoroughly distinguished public and private affairs in his own way.

– Wow. Yoon Tae-yang, a man who has no choice but to admit it even if he hates it.

-It’s kind of cool.

– Ha ha ha ha But I think Ballak is manly in his own way. Even if I lose, I don’t even have seizures to try again.

– ᄏ ᄏ When you play games with the Iljins, you play until they win.

-If you don’t lose, you’ll get hit again for not paying attention.

-It’s a good thing to just coolly surrender.

-Guys...

-What kind of lives have you guys been living...

Decavaria grinned.

“You can be proud of it. As long as you don’t die and roam the dimensional labyrinth, Balak can’t give another player a Z rating.”

“Oh, is that enough?”

“okay. Is it a rating given to the best player you have recognized? There are many demon lords who don’t give it at all. Neither Dantalian nor Belial probably ever gave a Z-class? Oh, Andras gave it to me, but I think I heard he died on the frontlines some time ago.”

“hmm. I wasn’t curious about it until then.”

“Kuhm.”

At the resolute conclusion of the sun, Decavaria cleared his throat again.

And Decavaria, who glanced at the sun, quietly opened her mouth.

“So, sponsorship... ... .”

“Oh, the sun. how is it? power of gold. I’ve been thinking about it, and if it’s you, I think it’s okay to sponsor the power of demagoguery. If you want to go unconventional, both are good.”

Decavaria frowned at Belial who intervened, then screamed in surprise.

“There is no such morality... ... what what Two?”

“Of course, there will be a few restrictions. Executing both powers is a challenge for most players. sun. Your soul is also quite tempered, but you’ll have to go through 30 floors to digest it properly. How are you interested?”

“Two.”

The sun lightly stroked his chin and looked around.

“hmm. Where is Chimeris? did you go?”

It’s not that it’s not, to the extent that just renting a body is treated as ‘power’.

Enduring the difference in class is difficult for a normal living being, but considering the rejection reaction that occurs during the process of combining bodies of different species, there was no way that a normal player could endure it.

But the sun was different.

You have already consumed 2 dragon hearts.

In addition to that, thanks to the half-man, half-dragon privilege obtained on the 16th floor banquet hall stage, a part of his body was transformed into a dragon.

Thanks to this, the rejection reaction was extremely reduced and I was able to endure it to some extent.

“Ability is also ability, but meeting these conditions without even knowing it.”

He’s an incredibly good guy.

Balak looked at the sun with mixed eyes.

The burning anger has cooled somewhat.

Ballack was pragmatic and selfish, but not without occasion.

Not admitting defeat here is what real losers do.

Dalian seemed fair, but Balak had the advantage, and Taeyang did everything he could to secure victory from Balak even in the midst of a disadvantage.

A conqueror would humbly admit defeat in a battle and win the war.

Of course, that didn’t mean I had a positive view of the sun.

“To die a violent death while climbing the tower... ... It won’t be long.”

Still, the day to pay back will come back someday.

Balak, who made a promise in his heart, soon disappeared.

“nice. many.”

Taeyang shouted coolly as if he had drunk alcohol.

It was worth it.

722 gold coins with 175 achievements.

And above all, the seventh slot that was finally opened and the legend card that proudly filled that slot.

It was a text that made me hungry just by looking at it.

-I never thought I would get the 7th slot so easily.

Obtaining the right to expand the slot as a reward for the Z-class on Ballack’s floor was a very big achievement in Hyun-hye’s opinion.

It’s not to the level of a legend card, but to the point where it’s slightly below that.

– But is there any reason to like it this much?

-That’s it. Isn’t opening all the card slots something most ranker players do once in a while?

– Even the moon has been opened.

-You opened early.

– Is that so?

As viewers say, opening all card slots with slot expansion tickets is something that quite a few ranker players have succeeded in.

And each time, controversy followed the player’s choice.

The reason was simple.

This is because there were many cases where you had to choose ‘instead of a card with good performance’ when obtaining slot expansion rights.

So was the case with the sun right away.

When I got the 6th slot extension ticket from Belial, I chose the slot extension ticket, leaving aside the option of a regular card, Nosferatu’s Cloak, a fragment of the sun’s brilliance.

Even if you look at the regular card, the fragment of brilliance, you had to use a unique grade card as an opportunity cost to get a slot expansion right.

That’s only the 7th floor option.

I didn’t know that slot expansion rights would appear along with some other good rewards as I went upstairs.

-There are many cases where you choose to be unique or throw away an artifact, but it is really meaningful to get something like this.

As the number of slots increased, the concerns deepened.

Hyeon-hye, whose voice sounded rather excited, let out a small cough.

-Keuheum. Now, shall we think about which card to insert and which card to remove?
