Chapter 243

Episode 243. First Failure (1)

Integrated Shelter.

In front of the gate connected to the stage.

Right.

Byullim bit her nails again.

“Stop biting.”

Yoon-taek scolded him, but Byeol-rim pursed his lips.

It was not difficult to know Taeyang’s situation at the integrated shelter.

This is because there were other players in the integrated shelter other than Taeyang and Messiah who went over to the dimensional labyrinth with the broadcast turned on.

At first, the atmosphere was not bad.

The bloody lightning, the deaths of the Orc camp players, and Cain’s unconsciousness were regrettable.

However, it is the earthlings who receive the information through broadcasting.

The most important thing is the sun and the Messiah.

If they didn’t die or get hurt, Earthlings could gather their hearts and cheer.

It was.

Starting from the death of Messiah, the atmosphere of the integrated shelter completely subsided.

It was definitely a positive thing that Taeyang took over Baal’s divinity against Dantalian, but Byullim and other people were not happy.

At that point, Byulrim chose to see his brother return with his own eyes rather than being informed of the situation by other players.

I decided to wait in front of the gate.

And the lights on the gate connected to the stage came on.

That was 6 hours ago.

The unconscious Cain and Salomon, who lifted him up, return.

Yuri Maximoff brought the body of the Messiah.

A look like a defeated soldier.

Many players gathered in an instant, but they broke through the crowd and entered the inn to talk again when the sun came up.

It seemed that Taeyang and Ran had gone up to a higher floor in order to repel Dantalian’s pursuit.

“Aren’t you curious? Is Taeyang hyung doing well?”

“If you are curious, come in. I won’t dry it.”

“I want to too.”

Yoon Taek sighed.

In fact, he was doing this because of the sun’s command.

‘Isn’t the shelter safe too? You stick around while I’m working.’

‘yes?’

‘I’ll check it through the broadcast. If it is confirmed that they are apart, it is 10 per 10 seconds.’

Of course, Yoon-taek, an ordinary player unlike Tae-yang, did not get sick just because he was beaten, but it was not easy for Yoon-taek to go against Tae-yang’s planting, who had now risen to the same level as the demon king.

Seeing such a glow, Byeollim shrugged.

“It’s because it’s hard to hear. Please understand. It’s hard to bear when I hear that things are getting difficult.”

Byulrim was a person who was used to approaching rather than waiting.

I’ve been taught that since childhood.

If there was something I wanted, I had to work hard to get it.

Not just whining with words, but working and persuading others. The kind of effort you put into practice.

The family unit’s misfortune that Taeyang and Byeolrim experienced when they were young made her that way.

‘Perhaps my brother is the same.’

It’s the same, so he didn’t wait and connected to Dantalian to save himself.

Anyway, Byeolrim found this moment very difficult to bear.

Hearing the Messiah’s words, he decided to wait at the shelter, but when he heard the news that the sun was in trouble, he kept raising his head to want to go to the gate to help his brother.

Even if you objectively know that she is not helpful, the mind is not a realm that people can freely control.

“Eh. okay. wait wait wait.”

Giving up on persuasion, Yun-taek sat down next to Byul-rim.

and.

Jump up.

Byulrim rose from his seat.

Other players waiting around the gate as well.

Whoops.

A light came on at the gate.

“uh? Are you coming?”

“Prepare for battle!”

3 major S-rank clans.

Astronomy and Steel Wolf Agrippa Knights unfolded battle formations in front of the gate.

It was the same when Salomon and Yuri Maximoff returned.

It was prepared in case a demon, not a player, entered through the gate.

Of course, there were cases where the demon king entered the shelter without going through the gate, but it is still better to be prepared than not to do it.

Then Ran and the bloody sun appeared.

“brother!

Byeolrim’s words did not reach the sun.

This was because the players who checked the sun’s condition also vomited their worries at the same time.

Blood bursting from the chil-gong.

Wounds on various parts of the body during the course of battle.

Taeyang’s physical condition was miserable even at first glance.

The sun denied them access.

Players split like waves in the air waves that stretched out gently.

“brother... ... .”

The gaze of the sun touched Byulrim for a moment.

regret self-blame regret.

Various emotions swirled in his eyes.

Taeyang muttered something, but soon passed through Byulrim and entered the crowd.

***

“Damn it!”

Kwaaang!

The wall of the integrated shelter inn, which must have been applied with the ‘indestructible’ system, was shattered.

it’s a shame.

Beyond regret, resentment explodes.

“It shouldn’t have gone this way.”

thump thump.

I hit my head against the pointed part of the collapsed wall.

The sharp cut tore the skin, and red blood flowed down the sun’s forehead.

bitter pain.

I felt like I couldn’t stand it if I didn’t torture myself.

“Damn damn damn!”

The decision to retreat was clearly correct.

If the sun could have solved all the problems by killing Dantalian, then the sun might have made the choice of exchanging lives with Dantalian.

But it is not.

After the party solidified into a 4-member system, it is Taeyang and his party that have been ‘always’ successful.

Even the achievements that can be obtained, not just successes, have repeated such successes that they are almost always maximized.

But what about now?

Even though he took Baal’s divinity, he could not kill Dantalian and even the Messiah died.

obviously a failure

The point at which no one can speak first.

Fire gushed from the connecting gates in Yuri Maximov’s clan house.

“The atmosphere is not good.”

skinny body type.

Red hair down to her waist.

It was the 56th rank Demon Lord Gremory.

The party looked at her, not surprised.

The reason they were able to successfully return to the integrated shelter in the first place was because of Gremory’s help.

Gremory looked at the sun.

“Are you feeling well?”

It’s not about injuries.

It referred to the divinity of Baal that the sun forced into his body.

“Honestly, it’s ambiguous.”

Baal’s divinity.

I’ve been curious to put it into my soul, but I haven’t been able to do it yet.

Simply put, the current state of the sun was like a snake that swallowed its prey whole.

Snakes have time to digest their prey without moving for a day or two in a sitting position.

Taeyang seemed to need that kind of time too.

Gremory nodded lightly and continued.

“Once, we succeeded in hiding the integrated shelter. Since 15 dimensions are superimposed, even a pursuer like Barbatos won’t be able to get in in a short time. As long as you don’t attack all 15 dimensions.”

The integrated shelter was originally a dimension connected to the 24 dimensions.

Gremory short-circuited the connection points of 15 dimensions and opened them at the same time to enter the unified shelter.

Simultaneous access in 15 dimensions.

It was a countermeasure that took advantage of the small number of transcendentalists.

“It seems safe.”

“It is not a particularly positive situation. Because the dimensional labyrinth itself will collapse soon.”

“yes?”

“It’s just what I heard.”

After all, it was the 72 Demon Lords who maintained the dimensional labyrinth.

Through this war, many demon kings, including the number one Baal, were killed or injured.

The dimensional labyrinth is the central point that binds the 72 devils together as a stepping stone for invasion of a huge dimension.

Since the center point was broken, it was a natural procedure for the demon kings to leave each other and forcibly connect the 72 dimensions to fall apart.

“Um... ... .”

Not good.

What Taeyang needed most at this moment was time.

Time to digest Baal’s divinity.

said Salomon, leaning his shoulders back in his chair.

“If I can’t make it on time, I will give up.”

The sun also nodded.

It would be nice if you could fully integrate Baal’s divinity, but if you lose your way back because you’re obsessed with it, it’s a complete turnaround.

When the 72 dimensions are split and the demon kings all leave, the source of power virtually disappears.

In other words, it was like a story that a return to Earth would become virtually impossible.

Ran muttered with a blank expression.

“There must be a reason Dantalian just let you go.”

I had to crawl out again to find the Authority in the first place.

“If you’re going to return to Earth, you have to find a way before that.”

“yes.”

“shit. It would have been nice if Baal’s authority was space-related... ... .”

Explosive expansion of the event horizon.

and matchless.

Unfortunately, the three powers contained in Baal’s divinity were also not powers related to space.

“Strictly speaking, it has to do with space... ... . It has nothing to do with movement. shit.”

“... ... There is a way.”

The sun opened its eyes and asked.

“Is there any other way to get back to Earth?”

Gremory nodded gently.

“You should have told me earlier!”

“Calm down.”

Gremory raised a skinny hand to calm the sun.

“What are you talking about?”

“First of all, it is difficult to find the power of large-scale spatial movement. No matter how transcendental, it is not easy to move to another dimension.”

It is extremely rare for hundreds or thousands of people to return.

But it’s not entirely non-existent.

“There is a way back. but... ... .”

Gremory pursed her lips for a moment.

and.

“What are you hesitating about? Gremory.”

An unfamiliar voice came from beyond the gate.

An unfamiliar voice rang from the other side.

“Clearly there are no intruders.”

“I checked. No matter how much the demon king... ... . Fifteen demon kings joined forces? this short time?”

Hard.

Sureureung.

Cain draws his sword and Yuri Maximoff shrewdly takes his place.

Salomon hurriedly took out a cigarette, and Ran opened a fan.

The sun also rose from its seat.

cooong.

The entire space rang just by appearing.

I didn’t suppress it with mana to pressure the opponent.

The overwhelming mass of mana was suppressing even the atmosphere.

The sun’s pupil dilated.

“This mana... ... .”

“You should get used to it. I have to get used to it. You’re borrowing it like that, right?”

A thick voice laughed softly.

Top predators classified in dimensional units.

Dragons of the race that are closest to transcendence from birth, so the existence of transcendence does not come out well.

“It’s been a while, Yoon Taeyang.”

Balak, the king of dragons, appeared.
