Episode 212. Strait (13)
White knuckles of fingers rose on Dantalian’s shoulder as he watched the crystal with his legs crossed and a white smile.
Dalgrak.
“Busy?”
“It’s been a while since I’ve seen you in person.”
Roaring.
Blue natural flowers burn vigorously.
At the same time, a book with a red cover turned its pages furiously.
Para-la-la-la-rock.
The flow of mana to the extent that Bassago’s black robes shake violently.
Bassago raised his bony arms to express his lack of will to fight.
“I’m sorry. There’s no way you’ll react so sensitively.”
“Vigilance is a priority for uninvited guests.”
“A guest. Weren’t we the ‘co-creators’ of the next demon king?”
Tendons sprouted from Dantalian’s forehead.
“Are you saying you want to claim a stake with just a handful of divinities?”
“this. can’t you? Dantalian. I didn’t know you were so narrow-minded. Didn’t you force a wide tolerance on others? Especially to Barbatos.”
“under.”
“It’s no use if you deny it. It is a truth that no one can deny that my traces are completely embedded in the next demon king’s divinity. No, did you have a tendency to cling to such a superficial honor in the first place? Oh, let me tell you in advance, I tend to be obsessive.”
Bassago’s light words, not like the 3rd rank demon king.
It’s an obvious mockery.
The moment a thick chain is about to burst out of the book.
“I’d need an ally like this.”
hard.
As Vassago’s bony finger bones rubbed against each other, the chain protruding from Dantalian’s book crumbled into powder.
“Dantalian was dangerous. You have made more enemies than necessary.”
“no. I can afford it.”
“Other demon lords won’t wait and see. The dimensional labyrinth... ... It won’t break.”
“yes. Taeyang will be recognized as an exception because I used too many hands.”
“But since a new competitor has been born for real, they will attack with all their heart. to you.”
It was a known fact.
And even such demon kings cannot destroy the dimensional labyrinth in order to catch and kill the sun right away.
Because the dimensional labyrinth was a project that took too much effort to do that.
It is also the reason why relatively quiet demon lords who value practicality rather than honor can remain silent.
Then, who will the anger return to?
The answer is simple.
The main culprit who gave birth to the demon king called the sun.
It is Dantalian.
“Dantalian. I’m busy.”
“I know.”
“And now I am advising you.”
The Demon King who knows the most tells Dantalian to worry about his safety.
What does this mean?
Dantalian grinned.
“Busy. How about you?”
“What do you mean?”
“Why don’t you try to reject me like the other demon lords?”
Bassago touched my robe.
“Because I have nothing to lose.”
Dantalian is the nucleus of change.
He is the head of the revolutionary forces who have risen from the bottom of the 71st rank and are trying to overthrow the bottom of the firmly established demon king society.
And in other words, clear water becomes cloudy.
“My insight goes up in value as the world gets darker.”
As the number of variables increases, the amount of information to be processed increases, making it difficult to make correct judgments.
Dantalian grinned.
The book, which aggressively showed off my inner flesh, became hot.
“You are arrogant. Aren’t you already valued in a high enough position? Do you think you can go higher?”
“Will you do it alone?”
“Oops. Your search is great but not complete. You are overconfident.”
“I know what the first thing Dantalian wants you to do is to transcend Taeyang Yoon.”
Dantalian kept his mouth shut and observed Bassago.
white bone.
It’s hard to read emotions.
‘confidence.’
Of course, there is a basis for such overconfidence.
The more you know the past and the present, the clearer the future.
The more data he accumulated over a long period of time with the power of search, the stronger his confidence would have become.
‘Did you read the number?’
Dantalian’s head became complicated.
up
He was also a true knight who valued righteousness and courtesy more than life.
He too knows how bleak the situation is, but as long as the choice is in his hands, he can’t get past it.
gulp.
The dry saliva moistened the esophagus very little.
When Mu-ryeong passes the baton to Akdo-gun, he does not retreat.
Mu-ryeong had to do it if he wanted to live.
Although politically perfectly dead inside the Astronomical Gate.
Isn’t that better than dying?
“Paid.”
“yes.”
“Retreat.”
“yes?”
Dozens of gazes are focused on Mu-ryeong.
Relief, gratitude, doubt, astonishment.
“Beat the drum. Get as far away from the spirit king and enemies as possible. In the elven camp, we eliminate as much as possible any act that would threaten us, and return to the human camp’s port. Immediately!”
Yusang was still chewing on the neck.
Mu-ryeong screamed.
“Can’t you hear me!”
“Yes yes!”
The belated sound of drums spreads.
“retreat! retreat!”
“Retreat!”
“Unfold the sails and row!”
When Mu-ryeong belatedly looked back, Akdo-gun was looking at him.
mischievous eyes.
Muryeong shook his head.
And he winked at the rest of the players in Astronomy.
Akdogun did not approach Mu-ryeong.
Neither took command nor disobeyed orders.
***
Cool.
A dark red liquid came out of Ran’s mouth.
The wobbly legs soon lose their strength.
The sun wrapped around Ran’s waist as he tried to sit down.
“are you okay?”
“Does it look okay?”
Of course not.
The sun looked at the gray-haired elf who had lost consciousness.
Originally, it was the body occupied by the spirit king of wind.
It is now empty.
Realizing that the fire spirit king was dead, the wind spirit king left the place in shock as if he had seen a ghost.
Huung.
Salomon and Messiah Byulrim returned to the salvage ship.
“sun!”
“brother! What happened?”
“How is it?”
Wooddeuk.
The sun bent his neck and pointed behind him.
The corpse of an elf whose head was smashed to make it unrecognizable.
And the ‘dead flame’ that shimmers like broken paint around it.
“You succeeded!”
Byullim clapped her hands for joy, and Messiah also smiled in relief.
Only Salomon looked at the sun suspiciously.
The sun summoned Arasil and showed that the consciousness was complete.
“It was easier than I thought.”
“uh.”
To be honest, even the sun surprised me.
the flowering of divinity.
A weak but first-hand experience of transcendence.
Among all the growth that Taeyang had achieved while climbing the dimensional labyrinth, the width was the greatest.
back.
power in the fist
It seems to overflow.
‘Power enough to stand against the demon lord.’
I haven’t looked at it, but I can tell.
Even though they were inferior, they had risen to a level where the adversary could do it.
The sun brightened and raised its head.
“I do not have time.”
Dantalian said that the flowering of divinity is the beginning of Time Attack.
what he asked for.
It had to be done as quickly as possible from now on.
