Chapter 67
Episode 67. Long Day (5)
The two Demon Kings leaned against their backs and looked at the broadcasting screen.
Demon King Andras with the head of a raven and the body of an angel.
And a young man with flaming blond hair, fair skin, and holding a book encrusted with red jewels. Dantalian.
The place they were looking at was a temple half destroyed by the sun.
Even though the sun was down, the sacrifice was maintained.
A man in a black hood was skewering the two players again while performing a ritual.
Dantalian let out an exclamation.
“Hoo Alpha Solar? Alpha Solar on the 10th floor?”
“Isn’t it the most fun way to unleash a monster you can’t handle?”
Dantalian touched my lips.
“More than that, a single player knows Alpha Solar. It is unusual.”
Solar, the sun spirit, was a rare being.
It was because it was a spirit that only inhabited a specific dimension, not Eden or Changcheon.
More precisely, it was a species that could only be found in the colonial dimension of Demon King Cimmeries, who was in charge of building the 10th floor.
Dantalian knew this well, as he had once been intrigued by the sun spirit Solar and tried to purchase his colonial dimension.
Unfortunately, Cimmeries did not sell the dimension, only providing a few samples.
“I am not a single player.”
“then?”
Andras snapped his crow’s head.
“Since it’s the 10th floor, it must be Cimmeries’ attendant. A case like you.”
“When you say the same case, do you mean trials?”
“okay. At that time, Archduke Barbatos requested it.”
The 8th rank Demon King, Grand Duke Barbatos.
Dantalian’s mouth hardened into a straight line.
“It looks like you asked me to test if I could stand against Alpha Solar.”
“That sounds interesting.”
“It’s not persuasive to say that it’s interesting with that expression.”
Andras waved his arms.
“I guess the rumors were true?”
“What rumors are you talking about?”
Dantalian pretends not to know and pretends not to know.
Looking at that natural face, Andras laughed inwardly.
It was quite a famous story among the demon lords that Barbatos tried to intercept his ball while he was diligently trying to penetrate the connection between Dantalian Earth and the dimensional labyrinth.
A moment of silence ensued, and Dantalian changed the subject.
“So Yuri Maximoff is capturing Alpha Solar? As it is?”
“no. There was another player that Barbatos paid attention to during this time. It wasn’t Yuri Maximoff. Well, in the end, she caught the attention of Barbatos on this stage.”
“Then who is the subject of Barbatos’ trial?”
Andras shrugged.
“well. I can’t remember exactly, but it must have failed. If he had grown up with the support of Barbatos back then, there would be no way we wouldn’t know now.”
Dantalian snorted lightly.
I put my own arms through the ordeal, but the player in question did not overcome the ordeal.
In other words, it meant that it was a case that proved that Barbatos was wrong.
“It is unfortunate.”
“Anyway, things got nasty. From Barbatos’ Alpha Solar to your trials. Isn’t it a situation where you face two trials in one stage?”
“That’s ironic. that’s rather good I’m sorry for Mr. Barbatos, but it will be a place to prove that my eyesight is a little better.”
Andras laughed out loud at Dantalian’s words.
“Ha ha ha!”
“Why are you laughing?”
“Is that rebellious temperament of yours still the same?”
“It’s a half goal… … .”
As Dantalian was about to continue, the screen flashed.
As ‘noon’, the actual start of the Long Day stage, a powerful light began to shine down on the entire stage.
and.
Koo Goo Goo Palace.
Alpha Solar, the king of the sun spirits, sat down burning the altar.
***
“Damn, damn, damn!”
Player Jinneman kicked the ground.
Every time he moved his legs, his muscles twitched dynamically.
from the thighs to the back and shoulders.
The tattoos are densely drawn on the bumpy curves.
He was a warrior who was born in the line of fire and spent most of his waking hours in struggle.
At the same time, he was also the man who caught Barbatos’ eyes.
But now Zinnemann was not fighting.
More precisely, he was running away from ‘another death’.
Kurrrrrrr.
A tingling heat radiated from behind.
“Damn Assunta!”
warrior vs warrior.
human to human.
tribe to tribe.
Wars and fights are between beings who are in a good position.
The tiger swinging its claws against the rabbit is hunting, not fighting.
Jinnemann humbly accepted the fact that he was the prey to the huge flame spirit behind him.
How to fight a being that does not pierce a sword, does not bleed, and is even made of flame itself?
“Uhhh!”
Jinneman burst out with a roar, and beams of light rained down behind him.
Aaaaaaaaagh!
Only Jinneman grabbed the sword from his back and looked around.
‘The sun is getting hotter. Soon the phenomenon that happened at noon will happen again.’
Before that, I had to find a place called ‘village’.
Before I met that goddamned sun spirit, the player under his sword told me that if I went inside the ‘village’, I could get out of the sun.
‘Asunta, grant me coolness, wisdom, courage, and anger… … .’
Just then, a group of players appeared on the other side of Jinne Bay.
“what. is it very big? hey. Have you ever seen a guy like this?”
“Isn’t this a normal Solar?”
“Catch it?”
When you go up to the 10th floor, you will open your eyes to achievements and rewards.
And luckily for Zinnemann, he got his chance when he met some ignorant and greedy players at a moment of great need.
“thank you. Assunta! I didn’t wish you luck!”
Taking advantage of Alpha Solar’s nerves, Jinneman escaped.
He thought as he walked through the woods.
If it wasn’t for that sun spirit, I swear he had nothing to fear.
Searching the forest like a wild beast, he eventually found a village.
“Is this a town where you can avoid the sun’s rays?”
The smell of blood is thick.
Even looking at it, it seemed that a considerable number of players had died in the village.
kudeudeuk.
Only Jinne grabbed the curved sword and raised his spirits.
“I will offer you my passion and another neck.”
If it weren’t for that goddamned sun spirit that didn’t pierce and bleed, Jinneman was always a man who would advance with his chest open.
he entered the village.
And I met a man.
A man with both fists stained with blood.
it was the sun
Only Jinne looked at the sun and smiled ferociously.
“No regrets. A warrior whose fists are dyed red.”
cooong.
Jinneman stomped his feet loudly.
At the same time, I swung my curved sword.
“What is this?”
lion’s claw.
Jinnemann’s curved sword violently ripped through the air and charged at the sun.
The sun took a step back and leaned back.
Knowing that the power contained in the curved sword was unusual, he tried to drain it.
Only Jinne smiled in contemplation.
Many warriors made the same judgment because of his strong swordsmanship.
But at the same time, Zinnemann’s sword was ferocious like a lion, tenacious like a hyena and flexible like a snake.
“Taha!”
Serpent’s fangs.
Jinne’s unique song that bends flexibly.
“Oh, quite.”
The face of Taeyang, who tried to avoid it by bending his waist moderately, was surprised.
Fighting!
At the same time, Taeyang’s waist bent abnormally.
It was such a rapid and rough movement that even Jinne’s elastic sword couldn’t reach it.
“bloke! You look like a rat!”
“What about a rat?”
Huung.
As the sword passed, the sun rose up and charged Jinneman.
Jinnemann also did not back down and held out the other shoulder.
An opponent who doesn’t even have a blade.
He believed in his own armour-like muscles and intended to press them as they were through the shoulder charge.
and at the same time.
blah blah
The sun’s fist stuck to his chin.
The elastic blow shook Jinneman’s brain.
“This is crazy. Are you pushing your body at random?”
All Jinne could do was desperately hold on to the consciousness of flying.
The sun’s foot pierced Jinnemann’s abdomen.
Jinnemann’s back bent 90 degrees.
Whoops.
“Take a taste. It’s no joke.”
It definitely tasted like losing a muscle mass.
At the same time, Zinnemann’s tattoo flashed.
Fighting spirit.
The sun jumped back.
Whoa!
The curved sword cut the afterimage of the sun.
The sun gleamed.
“what? Is it doping?”
Jinneman’s face twisted.
“It’s not doping, it’s faith!”
Whoo!
A faster and more violent sword attack.
Taeyang shed Jinneman’s sword with a simple movement.
Swing your sword again and avoid the sun.
“I got it. That’s about it.”
The sun nodded, and Jinneman groaned.
“You bastard! Face it straight!”
“upright?”
“okay! Don’t dodge here and there like a coward, let’s face it!”
It’s just a provocation.
A provocation that touches one’s self-esteem and hopes to shake one’s composure.
And the provocation was quite successful.
“You are a coward.”
Tuung.
The color of the sun has changed.
At the same time, only Jinne froze.
A huge presence gripped him.
It was a momentum of such density that it would not be defeated even if it was brought to Alpha Solar, the sun spirit that had been chasing Jinneman until just now.
“How could this man be so ignorant… … .”
“It’s done.”
cooong.
The sun stepped on the advance.
A milky white electromagnetic wave rose from his feet.
‘The front foot that steps more seriously. It’s like a lion.’
A pair of solemn, secretive, yet agile feet.
Knee joints, back and shoulders that carry and amplify the impact intact.
And a fist that strikes and rises in a perfect trajectory.
It was only then that Jinnemann realized that the sun and the spirit that had been chasing him were no different.
“I have escaped the tiger and entered another tiger’s den.”
A warrior who does not recognize his opponent will die.
With a moment of reflection, Jinneman grabbed his sword.
It was a mindset to wield until the moment of death.
and.
blah blah
The sun’s fist hit Jinnemann’s jaw.
Only Jinne, whose knee was free, collapsed as it was.
Then, a red beam of light shot from the other side.
Aaaaaaaang!
“Where is the last hit!”
Taeyang growled and grabbed Jinneman by the collar and jumped.
It was a movement that came out instinctively like a monkey guarding its prey.
It was known that there were no achievements for killing a lot of players, but there was no way to know.
Meanwhile, Hyun-hye, who confirmed the identity of the enemy, muttered in a confused voice.
-what? why sola? why?
something impossible.
Isn’t it that the sun spirit Solar doesn’t recognize the characteristics of Miller Town, the town where the sun set foot in the first place?
“Your stomach looks bigger than the others?”
In a short moment, Taeyang entered the building and finished the confirmed kill by breaking Jinneman’s neck.
It’ll be troublesome if he regains consciousness and bothers me.
-The judgment that came into the building is good. The building serves as a barricade against them… … .
Once again, the beam burst.
Aaaaaaaang!
The sun blew into the building next door, dodging the Alpha Solar’s rays.
A house in Millertown was literally blown up.
-I can’t. I’m sorry.
The sun’s brow furrowed.
“Should I fight?”
Solar, the sun spirit, was a monster that could not be caught.
To be more precise, it could be made incapable of combat, but it could not be killed.
This is because sunlight restores the body.
Conversely, it was said that it naturally fades when there is no sunlight, but if you can forcibly turn this daylight into night, it must be a great wizard.
Another feature of the Sun Spirit.
Once engaged in combat, it will follow the player until it is killed.
It even went so far as to self-destruct to kill the player.
In other words, at the moment of fighting, the plan Hyun-hye had established was bound to go wrong.
Of course, it went seriously wrong when the sun spirit attacked the village in the first place.
As I was thinking about it, the ray of light shot once more.
Eventually, the sun shook its head.
“I don’t know Mr. E.”
