Episode 242. The Dantalian Plan (9)
It is not easy to be acknowledged by society even though you are a dislike.
This is because recognition is a domain that relies more on subjectivity than on objectivity.
The reason why it was difficult for black stars and Asian stars to come out in the past in Western sports games is also in line with this.
Asians have poor physical abilities and are timid.
Black people are too easily swayed by their peers and more likely to do drugs.
Perceptions that made their recruitment negative in the past.
In fact, East Asians tend to have less athletic ability than other races, but that is not a reason to undercut an individual player’s ability.
The same goes for black people.
However, this perception did not work so objectively.
In severe cases, even if results are actually produced, there are even cases where they are dismissed as a factor called ‘luck’.
Then, what is needed to break this negative perception?
It is an ability.
overwhelming ability.
The overwhelming ability to compare with other samples has the power to take the evaluation into the realm of objectivity, not subjectivity.
Dantalian was like that.
He always manipulated the board from behind and always tried to keep direct combat to a minimum.
Other demon lords treated Dantalian as a sly and terrifying figure.
A very suitable position to be disparaged.
But he always wins in big and small games.
Regardless of the opponent, Dantalian always smiled.
The most valuable reward has always belonged to Dantalian.
Didn’t Taeyang witness how Dantalian turned Purkas like a washing machine right away?
Purkas, who was gnashing his teeth while watching Dantalian, eventually rolled up his tail and lost his signature power, kill, to the sun.
It was a disaster that occurred despite the fact that Barbatos and other demon kings secretly assisted Purkas behind the scenes.
Objectively, Dantalian was strong.
The sun also became strong enough to pierce the demon king’s lungs, but not enough to predict victory from Dantalian.
– It’s hard for you alone. Objectively yes.
“yes. It’s hard even when all the players gather.”
– I need another breakthrough.
with Hyun-hye.
And the solution I came up with after struggling with other players.
That was Barbatos.
Barbatos, who boasts a powerful force in the dimensional labyrinth, was also a danger to the sun.
However, at the same time, it was undeniable that he was one of the few beings who could show it against ‘that’ Dantalian without adding or subtracting.
Lee Jae-yi (以夷制夷).
Barbarians are defeated with barbarians.
Barbatos was upstairs than I thought, so things almost went wrong, but fortunately, it was close.
“Barbatos... ... .”
Blood dripped from Dantalian’s mouth, whose chest was pierced.
The pages of the red-covered book turned quickly and magic was used, but the wounds were not healing at all.
“Finally got it.”
Rather than an arrow, it was the size of a short spear.
The arrow that pierced Dantalian’s chest was a vicious object as thick as an adult’s forearm.
The power of Barbatos, tightly packed inside a large arrow, violently overturned Dantalian’s lungs.
Cool.
Dantalian let out a bloody cough and immediately pulled out an arrow.
quadruple.
“Where!”
I love you!
Barbatos immediately feeds arrows into the great bow.
But this time Dantalian was faster.
glass mask.
Clink!
The shape of Dantalian turned into broken glass and fell to the floor with a short spear belatedly stuck.
“Ha, do you think you can run away!”
Barbatos is a hunter-born transcendent.
And in general, hunters refer to beings who hunt beasts stronger than themselves with traps and relentless pursuit.
It is a story that Dantalian’s novelty is bound to fade in front of Barbatos.
Nine tails.
I’m going to go to the middle of the day.
Nine arrows are placed on the pulled strings.
Tuung.
Arrows that pierce the air as if they had their own will.
Soon, Dantalian broke from hiding and appeared.
It was like a savage warrior clad in steel armor.
Barbatos twitched his lips.
“You think your wounds will heal if you change your appearance!”
change of the sky.
The 36th eye contemplating suffering.
1,000 Dantalians are born and at the same time 999 Dantalians lose their form.
-... ... It’s a perfect counter.
“I didn’t expect it to be like this.”
I thought of using Barbatos’ hatred to break off the pursuit, but I didn’t expect the battle to continue to this extent.
In fact, the reason for the difference in combat power between Barbatos and Dantalian was simple.
– It seems that the battle above was not as rough as expected?
Dantalian forcibly entered the dimension with the repulsive barrier and was hit by a blast, and even fought Baal in it and suffered great wounds.
On the other hand, Barbatos’ battlefield wasn’t as rough as I thought.
In addition, he made use of the trick of surprise to overpower the steamer, which made it more difficult for Barbatos to lose.
Worse still.
On Barbatos’ side, the demon lords began to appear one by one.
On the other hand, the demon lords who had been chasing Dantalian did not show up.
As soon as he confirmed the appearance of Barbatos, he seemed to have let go of his tail.
“Ran!”
“huh.”
Hoo-wook.
The protection of the wind that aids movement wrapped around the body of the sun.
“I’m going?”
“uh. It is an opportunity not to be missed.”
“... ... .”
Instead of saying anything, Ran looked at the sun.
The sun read the worry in her gaze.
“Now or never again.”
If things went on like this, Barbatos might be able to handle Dantalian with ease.
Dantalian knows the sun.
And Ran knows.
Of course, he also knows that attacking with sound waves is not compatible with Ran’s wind sorcery.
“Are you saying it was intended?”
“Of course. Baal’s divinity handing over to Barbatos is a terrible number even for me.”
An elderly woman smiles gracefully.
Dantalian changed his appearance like a chameleon before he knew it.
The wound seemed to have healed, but Taeyang, who could directly feel divinity, knew that the wound had not healed.
“So you made a one-on-one composition like this?”
“That sun. Are you confident? With that mole?”
The great magic ‘Melody Burst’, created by intertwining the five powers, is a magic that focuses on deterrence rather than destruction.
Of course, it is a great magic that brings destruction to ordinary creatures living in the dimension, and it is a story that only applies when the target is a transcendental being.
“Let’s hold on. Because the duration of magic is not long.”
Kwaaaak.
Dantalian’s fist clenched again.
focused sound waves.
The sun charged at Dantalian again, spitting blood from its seven balls.
‘I feel sorry for Arasil.’
If he hadn’t been reverse summoned, it would have been of great help in holding on.
cooong.
With Jin-Gak, raise Jin-Ki from the bottom.
A group of stars that had suddenly formed spread out on the right foot of the sun.
“Starburst high kick.”
Parala Rock!
Before I knew it, the page that opened my skin spat out a shield made of mana.
quadruple.
The sun didn’t stop.
From Transcendence Jin-gak to Mu-gong Jeong-ui-haeng and Yeokcheonji-gong Pacheon.
Spit out all the numbers you can.
Quadduk.
shield is broken
Parching!
Sound waves block the sun’s body.
Cuckoo!
Tongchun, which crushes the entire space, unfortunately only crumples the empty space.
fast.
The fist that had been stretched out was locked in Dantalian’s guard.
The sun gritted it.
Clearly, the offense and victory were with him.
Dantalian’s condition couldn’t have been worse.
He even controlled the great magic to temporarily stop the demon king, including Barbatos.
Dantalian’s defenses were also slowly stripped by the sun.
Dantalian’s arms were not as strong as those of Baal.
The sun’s fist was touching Dantalian’s body.
As the blows overlapped, I felt the shaking divinity.
If you look at the situation, you are on the verge of victory.
one.
Dantalian’s expression is relaxed.
Even though they are cornered, they do not even show the will to create a variable.
“Amazing. I thought I could win enough. what is this... ... .”
Even leisurely praising the sun.
“shut up.”
Quadduk.
Dantalian’s right arm is broken when he raises his guard.
At this point, the sun felt like it was being chased.
Dantalian asked.
“Are you all right?”
Taeyang stepped on Jin-gak instead of answering.
“It’s a bad choice to bring in Barbatos.”
“Rather than you... ... .”
“The divinity of Baal. Do you think they don’t know?”
Kaaaaaaang!
Again, the sound waves are concentrated.
However, this time it did not hit the sun.
Dantalian muffled his voice.
“I will let you go.”
“what?”
“If you pursue me from here to the end, you will eventually be destroyed.”
The evil snake began to whisper sweetly.
“Killing me isn’t your goal on earth, is it?”
“... ... .”
“You should think about the following. Shouldn’t you take your sister and return to Earth? I don’t intend to be caught easily, but do you think I can get out of here smoothly even if you catch me?”
“Don’t talk bullshit.”
aww
The sun gritted it.
It was all the more so because the story was damn right.
The process by which Baal’s divinity is fused.
The presence was well pressed.
But what if they think back a little bit about why Dantalian chased the sun?
Of course, they couldn’t be sure, but the hypothesis alone was enough reason to aim for the sun.
Even if it’s not that, if the sun that killed Dantalian right away shows a tired look, that’s it.
Even if it wasn’t Baal’s divinity, there was another free divinity, so there was no reason for other demon kings to leave it alone.
‘X feet.’
Now is the low time.
There’s never been a better opportunity than now.
Dantalian’s words are right from one to ten.
Even if the sun killed Dantalian right here and now, nothing would be solved.
“If I die, you die too. On the other hand, if I escape alive... ... You might as well be looking for an opportunity to escape.”
Whoops.
The Dragon King’s enormous mana swelled up through the body of the sun.
At the same time, the sun looked at one side of the battlefield.
where the lan is.
Dantalian grinned.
“You did well.”
