Chapter 151

Episode 151. Sharks’ floor (2)

Before entering the stage on the 25th floor, Taeyang and Ran contemplated once again.

– Players. Honestly I... ... I don’t know, sun. How you treat it, I’ll leave it up to you.

It’s different from dealing with Ran and Salomon as colleagues.

While ascending the dimensional labyrinth, Taeyang has been killing players he thought were NPCs without hesitation.

While faking the terrifying sensation as a hallucination of the game.

However, it turned out unequivocally that they, too, were real.

After deliberation, the conclusion reached by the sun was of a kind that might be terrifying from the outside.

The sun with determined eyes murmured.

“I would try not to kill anyone, but I can’t kill anyone.”

Avoid needless killings.

But a murder that might be necessary... ... do.

The level of difficulty between suppression and murder was distinctly different.

Taeyang had overwhelming force on the same floor, but despite that, he wasn’t confident in completely clearing the stage with just suppression.

‘Someone will criticize me. Not most.’

But I have no choice but to accept it.

Honestly, Taeyang wanted to ask those who would criticize him.

If you are, can you live in this world without committing murder?

does not exist.

No, it would be a miracle if he survived.

The sun has come too far to say anything nice about ethics and morality.

0 to 1 is large, but 100 to 101 is not very different.

I didn’t want to use this as an excuse, but the reality Taeyang faced was cold.

“I honestly think you might regret it.”

But for now, this choice was Taeyang’s best.

At that time, thinking that the regret that would trample on Taeyang’s heart would function as a punishment to scold Taeyang for his mistakes, Taeyang took his party and set foot on the 25th floor stage.

***

The 25th to 27th floors were the floors of the 44th rank demon king Sharks.

Shax is a demon king in the form of a stork.

“Aren’t you going to show up?”

“Sometimes they appear and sometimes they don’t.”

The Sharks’ nickname was predatory.

plunder.

It means to use violence to take someone else’s property by force.

Did you place importance on tinnitus and design the stage accordingly?

Or is it that the things I like are projected onto the stage?

The overall keynote penetrating the layers of the Sharks could be summarized in two words.

[9-1 Ogre Village: Loot the supplies of the Ogre Village.]

The faces of the players who were assigned together around them hardened.

“Damn it, an ogre colony.”

“Aren’t you the top predator among monsters?”

“I saw these guys on the 20th floor, but if they were the same as back then, might they be worth doing more than I thought?”

“Tsk. Do you think it would be like a village with one or two and dozens?”

“I heard that there are often guys who look the same but are much stronger. You have to be suspicious.”

Some players glanced at Taeyang’s party.

A situation in which players must work together.

If Taeyang, the super rookie of the clear-cut dimensional labyrinth, rallied the players, it might be easy to get there.

-The ogre village is lucky.

Hyeon-hye muttered in an excited voice for the first time in a while.

The ogre was the opportunity to make known the name of Azur Murph, who was famous as a Dantalian raider.

Ogre wasn’t the type of monster you would see often.

However, it appeared everywhere from the lower floors to the upper floors.

It is a story of a monster with a low appearance frequency but a high appearance range.

Of course, the ogre that appears on the 20th floor and the ogre that appears on the 40th floor have basic physical specifications, intelligence, and habits of building a group.

Many parts were different.

In fact, before the establishment of Azur Muff, it was the only theory that it was better to classify it as a completely different monster with the same name and deal with it.

Azur Muff tried to find common ground by tying ogres that appear throughout the dimensional labyrinth into one category.

And it worked.

Azur Murph found that although intelligence does change behavior, ogres have clear common traits.

There were quite a few small things in common, but there was one tip that could be used representatively.

Of course, Taeyang did not intend to risk his life in an experiment.

-This time, it would be more efficient to press down with brute force rather than attack.

“That is something I am very good at.”

-It’s better not to expect artifacts. There may be items left behind by players who stopped by before, but most of them are damaged.

“Did I say that the maximum volume you can get is about the inner end of the monster?”

-Even if you don’t, you have to knock down a powerful monster, so it’s not efficient, but that’s how it is.

The strategy Taeyang and the others set up in the treasure hunt stage was simple.

Let the sun take care of the monsters who are openly hunted by Salomon and Ran.

As the magical wind and fog enveloped the forest, the main strategy was for the Messiah, who had become a vampire, to rob the nest while the monsters ruling the area attacked the sun.

-nice. Looks like the Messiah is finally getting a proper role.

– Even when stealing, 1 serving is a vampire naturalization. lol.

Starburst High Kick – Canon Form.

Wow!

Kieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Act of Justice 1 Meal – Tongcheon.

Wow!

Wow wow wow!

Act of Justice 4th Ceremony – Cheongoong (天轟): Yun Taeyang Ceremony Arrangement.

Whoa!

Oh oh oh!

It was a battle that the sun was fighting alone, but the enormous scale made other players around it unable to even approach it.

The reaction of Sharks, the 44th rank demon king who was watching him from above the stage, was the same as the other demon kings who had been watching the player of the sun.

“I’ve heard that it’s great, but I didn’t think it would be this much.”

The rare monsters the Sharks had plundered for the stage were all dying, but it was rather good.

It wasn’t easy to find a rare ‘treasure’.

In other words, Taeyang Yoon stimulated the Sharks’ predatory instinct.

“You said you already signed a sponsorship contract? joy. There is nothing that cannot be taken away.”

As long as Taeyang Yoon tells the terms of the contract with Dantalian in detail, he can find a loophole and cancel the contract, or exert a stronger influence through clever overlapping contracts.

There were many ways.

Back when the Shax were rolling their heads at the sun in the sky.

“It’s better not to.”

A heavy bass sound rang in Shax’s eardrums.

Shaxx turned his head in surprise.

There was a hunter wearing a green suit and a green fedora, but with a shotgun behind his back.

“Barbatos... ... !”

It was Barbatos, the 8th rank demon king.

Barbatos watched the sun play with those bright eyes regardless of the Sharks’ vigilance.

“I confirmed it through the video, but it seems to have gotten stronger in the meantime. It’s definitely a thing.”

“Barbatos. Why are you here?”

“plunder. You better quit.”

“what?”

“Do I need to explain more? You should know better.”

At Shax’s question, Barbatos looked at him in silence.

Barbatos averted his eyes involuntarily to his unique green eyes that seemed to see through everything.

“Dantalian is a tenacious demon lord.”

“Persistent? Dantalian?”

“Yes. Much more than you know.”

Aaaaaaaang!

A huge wave in the forest shook the wings of the Shax.

“Write.”

To think that we had to let a player like him go at Barbatos’s words.

Shaks swallowed his saliva involuntarily.

Looking at the Sharks, Barbatos thought.

‘It’s good that you came.’

At the same time, I turned my head and looked at Yoon Taeyang, who was fighting like crazy.

The work of Dantalian, who has grown at an unprecedented pace in the dimensional labyrinth.

If the Sharks had been left alone, would Taeyang Yoon have been caught in the Sharks’ clutches and cut off Dantalian?

Or rather, did he tie Shax to his lasso and turn it into a prize?

Barbatos was convinced.

‘Whatever is clear will accelerate growth based on that.’

That was not the direction Barbatos wanted.
