Chapter 257

Episode 257. Dantalian (3)

‘What kind of existence was I?’

Transcendentalists who have lived a very long time often lose themselves.

It doesn’t change drastically in one day.

It is a phenomenon in which one’s image becomes absurdly far from the image one remembers after living too long.

Dantalian had been thinking about the cause of the phenomenon.

At first, it was diagnosed as too much memory accumulation.

All beings live in an endless now.

It is not now, and the past, where the present is not helpful, is naturally excluded.

However, memory is a component of existence, even if it is not helpful in the present life.

That is why transcendentalists live a very long time and often lose themselves.

‘I thought so.’

Dantalian was more obsessed with the problem and found a different answer of his own.

It has nothing to do with memory.

It is a phenomenon resulting from imperfection.

Mortals are imperfect beings.

Transcendents escaped mortals, but they were not perfect beings.

It was proof that it could grow.

If there is nothing lacking, there is nothing to add, but aren’t transcendents constantly wanting to add something?

That’s all.

It happens because we are imperfect beings.

However, there is one crucial difference between mortals and transcendents.

A transcendental being is a being who is qualified to pursue perfection.

Dantalian realized that as soon as he transcended.

At the same time, I also realized that I am an infinitely insufficient being to pursue perfection.

It was shocking to Dantalian, who had lived his entire life as a perfect being.

‘Perhaps it was from then.’

Dantalian was constantly obsessed with strength.

Obsessed with the perfection of the soul.

So, regardless of means and methods, he devoured the authority.

I was not interested in the right or wrong way.

The only thing that matters is the fact that you’ve moved on.

That’s how I constantly craved the next step after the next step.

I lived like that for a very long time.

And I lived like that for too long.

‘It was definitely long.’

So Dantalian was unaware of when and how he changed.

Kwaji Jik.

Trinity Synthesis – Super Dantalian’s armor breaks terribly.

It is a body that has been broken even by the authority wielded by the mortal Yuri Maximoff.

If he was fine in front of the transcendent, Yoon Taeyang, that would be even more strange.

Dantalian smiled at the sun.

Ruin all your plans like this.

I didn’t hate the sun.

Dantalian’s feelings about the sun rising from his heart are rather positive.

“Amazing.”

Instead of answering Dantalian, the sun completely shattered the colossus’s arm.

Kwajijik!

I want to show Yun Taeyang to others.

That the work I looked for and created grew this much.

Dantalian himself was surprised that he could have these feelings.

-$%#$^@#.

Noise leaks out of the speaker.

The tactical planning system built into Super Dantalian causes an error.

This is a limitation of the tactical establishment system.

Barota is clearly a transcendent person’s ability to perform tactics ‘completely’.

And Super Dantalian establishes tactics based on the data he collects.

But the sun twists the very laws that operate in the world.

Since the collected data is meaningless, there will always be wrong answers.

‘Is this the third great magic?’

Even if a broken body can be repaired endlessly, not taking the initiative in battle is fatal.

Dantalian escaped from the passenger seat without regret.

He wasn’t emotionally hostile to Taeyang.

‘But I have to do what I have to do.’

Looking forward to the growth of Yoon Taeyang.

And Dantalian himself growing up.

It is compatible.

Kwakwagwagwang!

Yoon Tae-yang can be seen through the terribly broken steel wreckage.

The falling Dantalian gripped his hand tightly.

Quad de de de de deuk!

Right before the space collapsed, Yoon Taeyang pulled himself out.

‘Sense like a beast.’

It’s obviously magic made in a blind spot, but the response is unmatched.

“That one!”

Starburst High Kick – Canon Form.

Dantalian’s existence splits into 10,000 branches.

This time it’s not a paving stone for an attack.

“Shall we play tag?”

“hey! If you want to save Yun Byeol-rim, you’d better follow me. yes?”

“nyah! This way!”

“Sometime.”

Dantalian, a slender young man.

The ferocious thug Dantalian.

Dantalian, a sweet girl.

A serious middle-aged Dantalian.

... ... .

Ten times a thousand.

As many as 10,000 Dantalians take Yoon Byeol-lim’s life and death hostage and spread throughout the integrated shelter.

However, Yoon Taeyang’s expression is calm.

‘Why?’

Yoon Byeol-lim is a precious existence that cannot be exchanged for anything to Yoon Tae-yang.

Since such an existence was taken as collateral, how could Yoon Taeyang afford to afford it?

‘Something’s strange. It is awkward. why... ... .’

The sun murmured as it looked at Dantalian.

“You never go beyond expectations in a direction like X, do you?”

It’s different from the current situation, but Balak and Yoon Taeyang predicted that Dantalian would hide in the integrated shelter in the first place.

But the timing was a problem.

Bassago promised to deliver Dantalian to the integrated shelter with Balak and Yoon Taeyang fully prepared.

Anyway.

I was ready to face Dantalian at the integrated shelter.

Gremory, the 56th rank demon king, in charge of the 19th to 21st floors of the dimensional labyrinth.

Her nickname is Truth.

‘It’s different from other powers I’ve used so far. The price won’t be light.’

‘... ... .’

‘I’ll say it again, carving the authority on the body is like carving the soul and making a pattern with the scars. can never get better still... ... Would you like to?’

‘It doesn’t matter.’

The right eye of the sun burned abnormally red.

Dantalian belatedly realized the reason for the awkwardness.

“Those eyes are the same color as Gremory’s hair.”

“okay. It is her power.”

Gremory’s nickname and her authority.

‘Truth’ was functioning in the pupil of the sun.

Yoon Taeyang was looking directly at Dantalian himself among 10,000 alter egos.

Flash.

Taeyang suddenly felt his right vision blurred.

This was due to overload in the process of processing a lot of data.

It’s not just blinding.

The soul, the divinity itself, was being shaved off in real time.

If all the scars engraved by Gremory are shaved away, the ‘Truth’ power will no longer be usable.

This means that there will be no way to catch Dantalian.

“Damn it.”

The sun quietly cursed.

According to the original plan, it should have been a risk-free fight.

Because Balak would have been here.

The main goal of the plan was for Taeyang to deal with Dantalian while Balak guarded Byulrim.

But there was no ballack in this place.

Will he be able to fight Dantalian while protecting Byulrim?

‘no.’

Dantalian is a wizard.

The moment the offensive initiative passed to Dantalian, the tide, which had tilted toward the sun, would have tilted toward Dantalian.

To kill Dantalian, the sun must be on the offensive.

Taeyang did not have much time to wait for Balak to come.

The only realistic victory plan is to finish this fight before you go blind and get caught.

“Yuri Maximov!”

The sun screamed and threw something at her.

clap.

“This?”

The shotgun of Barbatos who has risen to the top of power.

Yufinel Type 37.

“I don’t know how many feet there are.”

Along with the words, the sun told me to leave with a chin.

The meaning is simple.

Protect Byulrim from Dantalian’s alter egos.

Before Yuri Maximoff could nod his head, the sun shot out first.

Quadduk.

The remaining result is now one of two.

Dantalian’s alter ego captures Byulrim.

Or the sun kills Dantalian before then.

Eyes that see through the truth.

Dragon King’s body.

matchless momentum.

Finally, the warrior who reached the stage of perfection rushed towards the enemy.
