Chapter 120

Episode 120. Turning the game upside down (4)

A book with a red jewel appeared in front of a skinny woman with red hair.

“Are you Dantalian?”

As soon as she finished speaking, the book opened and a middle-aged man wearing a bowler hat appeared.

“Long time no see. Gremory.”

The woman’s sunken cheek trembled at Dantalian.

“Dantalian. There are rumors these days that you are obsessed with players and follow them around the stage to watch them.”

“He’s a fun player. It is natural that he is promising, and his pace is overwhelming. I want to sponsor, but I don’t want to receive it, so I’m not the only one who worries these days.”

“Precious jewels are not easy to hold in your hands. Even if it wasn’t so, three Demon Kings gathered in the other viewing room.”

“this.”

Dantalian, who expressed bewilderment with an exaggerated gesture, asked Gremory.

“How about you?”

“What are you talking about?”

“Sponsorship.”

The 56th rank demon king. The truth of Gremory.

She is faithful, honest, generous, tears medicine. And it was the demon king who had the power of grief.

She was so versatile that even though there may be demons superior to Gremory in terms of combat, there are rumors that there will be no demons with more power than her.

This was also in line with the story of being able to have many sponsors.

“Aren’t you the demon king with the most patrons of all time?”

Gremory laughed at Dantalian’s words.

The shy smile made the protruding clown stand out more.

“Are you concerned? Do you think I will tamper with the prey you have marked?”

“Anyway.”

Dantalian lowered his bowler hat slightly to hide his expression.

Gremory’s other nickname was ‘the mortal-loving snake’.

She was famous as the Demon Lord who supported the most players and at the same time was friendly to the human race.

‘But her love doesn’t work all the time.’

The most valuable thing to a lion is by far the meat.

However, meat is meaningless to rabbits.

From Dantalian’s point of view, Gremory’s behavior was also like that.

Gremory would often offer ‘special’ stages for good players, but those stages didn’t really affect the players.

At that time, Gremory was on the 19th floor. I turned my eyes to the Imperial Palace Domitianus Stage.

It was a stage where the sun entered.

Gremory shook her head slightly, and her waist-length red hair fluttered dynamically.

“Imperial Domitianus. It’s a fun stage.”

The ancient times of a dimension that has now disappeared.

It was a stage filled with the stories of humans who followed both gods and demons.

The goal of the stage was to function as members of the imperial palace, find demon followers hidden throughout the imperial palace, suppress the rebellion, and revive the emperor who was afflicted with horse disease.

On the surface, that is.

The Imperial Palace Domitianus Stage was different from other stages that players had encountered so far.

The demon lords called this system ‘sub-quest’.

It was a rule to clear the stage by finding the goal hidden in the stage and fulfilling the goal.

The sub-quest of the Imperial Palace Dominicanus Stage had the exact opposite direction from the original goal (main quest).

Unlike the main quest, you become the ringleader of the rebellion, plan the rebellion, find demon followers, and join the rebellion orchestrated by the player.

This happened because the main audience watching the stage was the devil and the devil.

Gremory’s preference is to see humans win, but the demon kings rather want to see the opposing demons win.

It’s like Sammosa Jo, but anyway, it’s a way to suit the tastes of Cheok-joo himself while leaving open the possibility of scenes that the main viewers want.

‘I mean a smart woman.’

Dantalian looked at Gremory and narrowed his brows.

On the other hand, Taeyang and his party entered the Dominican Stage of the Imperial Palace and were proceeding with a sub-quest.

As such, it was an issue that would not have passed had Dantalian opposed it.

Dantalian shrugged his shoulders with an insignificant expression.

“Five months is enough time for player Taeyang Yoon to jump into the front line. At that time, you can file a complaint with the committee based on the play of the sun. If you do well, you might be able to clear the labyrinth.”

Gremory asked.

“What if the complaint fails?”

“It doesn’t matter. There are many ways to save one player’s life, as long as player Taeyang Yoon accepts my sponsorship.”

Of course, except for the sun, humans are excluded from Dantalian’s plan.

Gremory seemed to have something more to say, but this time Dantalian turned his head the other way.

“Is this an interesting stage?”

Entering the 20th floor without a break, the name of the stage where Taeyang and his party arrived was ‘Harmony of Lamentation’.

Harmony of Grief was a dystopian worldview in which humans were working as slaves to the devil.

The player becomes a revolutionary soldier who has been mingled with countless slaves and has to run away from demons or kill them.

Of course, there was a side quest unique to Gremory in the Harmony Stage of Grief.

slave cops.

Players were able to clear the stage on the condition that they find the revolutionary army (player) mixed among the slaves and hand them over to their masters.

Of course, it was not possible to clear it with more than one or two people, and the condition of persuading the owner demon based on the performance was attached.

Taeyang performed the stage in an effective way this time as well.

The ‘effective’ method mentioned here is to scrape together all the achievements that can be obtained by crossing sub-quests and main quests.

Taeyang disguised non-player human slaves as revolutionary soldiers to increase his performance, assassinated several demon guards and caused a riot in the labor yard, gathered other revolutionaries and reported them to the devil, killing the player gang. did.

In other words, it was like playing a drum, a janggu, and even a gong.

Taeyang and the three players who moved under his leadership also collected achievements sweetly, and Taeyang successfully finished the stage by stealing artifacts from the captain’s guard.

Dantalian murmured as he watched the busily moving sun and company.

“So far, it’s been a leisurely move.”

19th floor stage Imperial Palace Dominicanus 20th floor stage The harmony of grief.

Taeyang and his party spent less than 17 hours clearing these two stages.

On the 19th floor, thanks to Yuri Maximoff’s reinforced dungeon entrance, I was able to pick a stage that I could finish quickly through the advantage of being able to ‘choose’.

But the 20th floor is different.

Taeyang couldn’t choose, and the stage wasn’t over so quickly in the first place.

It was a stage with a quality that could last for a month at the longest, but Taeyang cleared the stage in just 9 hours.

Even clearing the stage and collecting more than 10 achievements each.

It was an astonishing achievement.

Then Gremory got up.

“... ... Are you going to do it?”

“yes. Because they deserve to know. Same goes for all the other players.”

Dantalian kept his mouth shut.

“If they don’t, they might not be able to climb the labyrinth.”

“That too is their choice.”

“Gremory.”

“Dantalian. If you don’t like my behavior, file a complaint with the committee you like.”

Gremory asked with a soft laugh.

Dantalian did not answer.

The demon king who has already filed a complaint against Gremory’s stage is full.

And the winner was always Gremory.

The committee almost always sided with Cheung-ju when it came to issues related to the stage.

“You know what other Dantalians call me.”

It was a story about two people.

Dantalian’s nickname is Cheonbyeon (千變).

This is partly because he takes a form at any time without a fixed body, but also because he is always thought to have more than a thousand plans in his head.

And the truth of Gremory’s tinnitus.

she always tells the truth

“That’s it.”
