Chapter 148

Episode 148. Sponsorship contract (2)

I tried to cool my heart, but I felt a surge of anger in a corner of my heart.

It was the most intense and dirtiest feeling I have ever experienced.

I didn’t feel so bad when Dantalian dropped the show-like truth in order to reveal the truth of the dimensional labyrinth.

But this is the player’s reality.

The reality of human beings who mortgaged the earth.

Players are the objects and playthings of demon lords.

Just as the imperialists of the Western powers imported African blacks as ‘slaves’.

‘Disgusting.’

Fortunately, Taeyang was Korean.

A people who inherited the blood of the fighters who sacrificed their lives for independence.

I don’t know if that energy is really connected to my blood, but I know one thing for sure.

This is because they have been taught history since childhood.

The teachings left with their lives by dozens, hundreds, thousands of martyrs such as Ahn Jung-geun, Ahn Chang-ho, and Yu Gwan-soon.

If you don’t give up, if you risk your life and burn your soul, there’s nothing you can’t overturn.

The sun glared at my eyes.

What should he do at this moment when the determination to overthrow the demon king is once again deeply embedded in his heart?

Should we mobilize violent methods like Ahn Jung-geun?

Or do we need non-violent protests like the independence movement of martyr Yu Gwan-soon?

Neither.

In the independence movement, there were many ways.

There were also militants who recruited righteous soldiers in Korea, staged demonstrations, and engaged in do-or-die fighting.

On the other hand, there were fighters who went to Manchuria and tried to inform the world of Japan’s atrocities.

And there was a fighter who pretended to surrender to Japan, the enemy, pretended to be a naturalized citizen, and tried his best to overturn the game in it.

Bowing down to the Japanese does not make the fighter’s work worthless.

Independence is important.

So is the sun.

‘This humiliation... ... Wait a minute.’

Sun’s goal is to return to Earth with Byulrim.

Clearing the dimensional labyrinth.

To do so, he had to play with the demon lords’ rhythm.

I couldn’t get caught up in the blood right away and miss all of this.

tolerate

He endures everything with a single vein rising from his forehead.

cringe

The curtain rose with this grinding sound.

About eight demon kings were sitting.

71st Rank Demon King Dantalian 69th Rank Demon King Decavaria.

Other familiar and unfamiliar faces.

They will soon talk about the conditions they have prepared.

Taeyang was determined to obtain the best and best conditions by choosing the best of the conditions they said, bargaining, and sometimes even forcing himself to do so.

It would be difficult, but I was confident that I would not be fooled by being immature and foolish.

Even back then, when I was a King of Fist player, I was tediously negotiating salary.

However, things did not go as expected by Taeyang.

It was because the demon kings frowned and started to stand up one by one.

“Suddenly, what is this?”

Balaam also muttered with a puzzled face as if he hadn’t expected it.

In the meantime, there was a demon king who did not move.

The demon king smiling and smiling alone.

Should I say that too?

It was Dantalian.

The sun glared at Dantalian.

It seemed clear that Dantalian was up to something.

-??

-What kind of trick did you do?

-The contract with the terrorist Dantalian is the dog Eva.

-Really. According to what has been revealed so far, isn’t it actually because of that bastard?

-If you join hands with Dantalian, the dog is over;

– Hit Dantalian!

[‘Sorry Gobongbab’ donated 100,000 won!]

[Dantalian is the worst villain in human history who invaded the earth without permission and mortgaged the lives of 300 million people, not to mention Yoon Taeyang and you...]

– It’s the first time I don’t hate gobongbab...

eight people.

Taeyang’s skills were perfectly demonstrated, with as many as 1/9 of the 72 Demon Kings attending.

“I didn’t think a simple power increase was necessary. It will happen naturally as you climb the labyrinth.”

Throwing a general power increase factor can be done by other demon lords.

This means that the competition is relatively low.

That’s why Dantalian thought about something special for Taeyang that most players don’t have.

“So I prepared.”

The confident face of Dantalian.

The magic book floating on his shoulder began to unfold.

Para la la la rock.

Pages torn into chunks.

Then they flew around the sun.

“It is my divinity.”

“divinity?”

“Sacred!”

Instead of the sun, who did not understand, Balaam was surprised and made his flagship.

Dantalian calmed Balaam with a wink and continued.

“Of course not all of my divinity. part of it.”

“Please explain first. What is it? What’s good?”

“I think the most likely stumbling block to you is the other demon lord’s contractors above. The most effective weapon against them is this divinity.”

Although it didn’t show as much impact as the sun, there were players who could see the buds of transcendentalists.

The fact that the Demon King decides on sponsorship in the first place.

In other words, thinking about giving away some of his authority meant that.

In other words, it is a story that a player who is not formidable even in terms of talent started accumulating achievements before the sun.

“When you accept divinity, your soul also has what is called a ‘status’ as a transcendental being.”

“case?”

“hmm. To put it simply, it is a story that this alone creates resistance to the demon lord’s ‘power’ exercised by other players.”

Minerva, the leader of the Witches Clan, sponsored by Andras.

When she used the ‘Light of Destruction’ power, no player could resist.

The moment you get hit, you are literally destroyed.

In game terms, it is an ‘undefensible’ skill.

There were two ways to survive against this power.

Avoid attacks completely.

Or being another sponsored player.

The reason why a normal player can’t resist and die when exposed to the light of destruction is because the light of destruction itself is strong, but also because the power level is ridiculously high compared to the player’s soul.

“What’s the difference between being another sponsored player?”

“If you have the power sponsored by the soul, that alone raises the rank of the soul.”

If hit, it will take damage, but it won’t be able to fight back and be swept away like players with lower spirit levels did.

In other words, it is a story that resistance to authority is created.

-In terms of an RPG game, is it like a boss monster judgment? It doesn’t take abnormal status, takes less damage, and has high resistance.

“you’re right.”

the sun asked

“According to what you said, doesn’t that just mean that the status naturally follows even if you acquire other powers?”

“you’re right. But is it the same as the one that came along so naturally and the one I gave you?”

It is said that he was suddenly promoted, but that is the level of a player.

Even if Dantalian took away his divinity, the sun’s divinity wouldn’t be immediately upgraded to the level of a demon king, but that level would be incomparable to other players.

In other words, it becomes a boss monster among boss monsters.

“Of course, in a general case, it would be a more efficient choice to inherit some of the powers like the Light of Destruction. What do you do if your soul level is high? I have no sword to wield.”

“But I am different.”

The sun nodded.

At that, Dantalian twisted his lips.

“you’re right. you are different It’s because he took possession of Balak’s power on his own.”

In this situation, if the sun receives Dantalian’s divinity, a hierarchy is created between the sponsored player and the sun, just as there is a hierarchy between the normal player and the sponsored player.

“Of course, this hierarchical relationship is not absolute. If you observe the real high-rise wires, it’s not uncommon for players who have been sponsored to lose to players who don’t, and even die. How are you? These are my conditions.”

Taeyang fell into trouble at Dantalian’s words.

Dantalian told me the good things about divinity, but I know it’s definitely useful.

But is this so obviously good compared to other powers?

Is it a story that other demon lords go back to without even trying to convince me?

It was then.

“This is a story that can be told externally.”

Right.

A large red orb appeared surrounding the sun and Dantalian.

At the same time, the broadcast was cut off.
