Chapter 72
Episode 72. Integrated Shelter (1)
Dantalian grinned.
“It’s been a while since I saw you. Player Yoon Taeyang.”
The chat window slides down.
-Why is he here?
-? It’s not on the 3rd floor here.
-Danha (meaning Dantalian High).
In fact, it was not uncommon for demon lords to appear on other floors.
Demon King Balak, who was in charge of the 16th to 18th floors, appeared on the 30th floor, and Demon King Gremory, who was in charge of the 25th to 27th floors, appeared on the 17th floor.
but.
Nothing like this had ever happened below the 15th floor.
-And the only players here are Yoon Taeyang and Ran. Isn’t this actually just coming to meet Yoon Taeyang?
-And Yoon Taeyang is a real legend. Every time I do something, I find a hidden piece by myself.
– ㄹㅇ If you just do something, it’s the first time ever.
-First experience expert ㅗㅜㅑ.
-At this point, wasn’t Yoon Taeyang the operator?
– Lol lol.
Taeyang looked at Dantalian without saying anything.
I waited for Hyeon-hye’s help in my heart, but Hyeon-hye also didn’t say anything.
Whether it’s viewers, Hyeon-hye, or former ranking No. 1 KK who may be watching the broadcast.
It was an unexpected situation for everyone and it was the first time.
Dantalian told Andras.
“Let’s evaluate first.”
“Would that be better?”
“Anyway. The explanation will be a bit long.”
Andras’ raven hair snapped.
cooong.
A large stone slab fell from the sky.
[It wasn’t surprising because the floor below had already proven his overwhelming skills that set him apart from other players. That’s why it was subjected to a more severe ordeal, and player Yun Taeyang overcame it admirably. No more rhetoric needed. The trials up to the 15th floor were not able to scrape off the potential of player Yoon Taeyang to the end. How many such players have there been in all time? It’s just amazing.]
[Acquisition: Andras certified S+ grade.]
[Additional reward: 130 gold.]
S+ grade.
The sun nodded.
deserved it
9th to 12th floors.
In other words, even if you think about it compared to the Cimmeries floor, it was much more difficult.
“To be honest, Dracula and Yuri Maximoff crossed the line a lot.”
-I was worried because I sucked too much on the 14th floor, but I’m glad.
I would have been embarrassed if I hadn’t received it.
Andras spoke in a benevolent voice.
“So far, it’s been great. Even among the demon lords upstairs, there is talk about you.”
“Hmm, I’ll appreciate the compliment.”
“Haha, you don’t know what. It’s not something to listen to.”
Andras leaned over and whispered as if telling a secret.
“All of the demon lords above are stimulating and sadistic. They will put you on a harsh stage and enjoy watching you struggle.”
“That’s about it. Wasn’t it the same for you?”
At the words of the sun, the corners of Andras’ eyes curled.
“At least we imposed trials fairly on all players. that’s the rule But from now on it won’t be. You’ve become famous, and the demon lords above will want to test you.”
The sun’s eyebrows twitched.
“Did you read it? ‘With the trials up to the 15th floor, player Yun Taeyang’s potential could not be scraped to the end.’”
“Ah.”
“In the later stages, demon lords will want to see your limits.”
Andras explained.
Taeyang seemed to be a ‘large rookie’ player of the human race after a long time.
Some devils will genuinely wonder about the limits of the sun, and some devils will project their desires by plucking such buds.
He even said that maybe the demon king who made the stage for the sun might appear.
“Is it going to be difficult in the end?”
“It wasn’t meant to be, but it looks like a scare. That’s right. You will need to prepare your mind. As you say, it will be difficult.”
Then Dantalian stepped in.
“That’s why I came.”
As the sun looked at Dantalian, he spread his arms in an exaggerated gesture.
“Before that, I guess I need an explanation first.”
“explanation?”
“About why you only had 5 options.”
The head of the sun bends crookedly.
“okay. I honestly thought it made no sense. No matter how many achievements I have accumulated.”
“you’re right. It may not have been an easy choice, but if you followed the rules correctly, there were at least 200 more options you could choose from.”
200 pieces.
Considering the size of the vast library, the number is small, but considering that Taeyang searched every nook and cranny of the library and found only 5 options, there were plenty.
“Are you saying you arbitrarily shortened it now?”
“you’re right. That is the ‘trial’.”
Dantalian continued his explanation.
test.
A situation in which the Demon King personally interferes with a particular player’s situation.
“And with a high probability you will experience more of this.”
Taeyang pondered over how to react.
The bottom line is that Taeyang is such a great player that the NPCs arbitrarily raised the difficulty.
-and. Hahahaha Because you’re so good at it, you mean that the system adjusted the difficulty on its own?
– ㅋ ㅋ ㅋ ㅋ It’s great.
– It’s a really cool game.
-I can feel the developer’s tenacity rather than Godgame.
-Yes… It’s the tenacity to make it impossible to clear even if you die.
-and. Ha ha ha This but is it true that Yoon Taeyang can break it?
– Really. Actually, you have to clear the one-tri. I can’t even log out.
Dantalian continued.
“Of course, the Demon King has to pay the price if he commits such a thing.”
“cost?”
“Isn’t there a law that compensates employees who have paid for their labor?”
Dantalian held out his hand toward the sun.
At the same time, the book he was holding spread out in the air.
“I will suggest player Yoon Taeyang.”
Tuung.
A wave of mana arose from the red jewel embedded in the book.
At the same time, the surroundings of the sun flickered black.
“What is this?”
The sun looked around.
Until a second ago, neither Ran, who was standing next to him, nor Andras, who was standing on the other side, were nowhere to be seen.
Taeyang instinctively realized that the place he was standing in was a different and different place.
Anxious, he muttered quietly.
“Hyeon-hye?”
-I see. The broadcast is going on.
Dantalian smiled at the sun.
“You must be perplexed.”
Were you upset?
Of course.
Because it’s something I’ve never experienced before.
“Anyway, I will suggest it. Player Yun Tae-yang. Please accept my support.”
“support?”
At the mention of Dantalian, augmented reality appeared.
[Dantalian of the 71st rank Demon King, Cheonbyeon(千變) offered sponsorship to player Taeyang Yoon.] [
If you accept the offer, Player Taeyang Yoon can inherit some of the ‘powers’ of Demon King Dantalian.]
-It’s crazy authority ?
Hyeon-hye let out an astonishment.
-Hidden class.
– Crazy.
– No, was Dantalian a game like this hahahaha.
-I’m going crazy production crew. ㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ I made content and didn’t show it to the user. lol.
-A route that only those who are good at games can see.
-No, the standards are too high. What is Yoon Taeyang’s exclusive route?
The sun swallowed its saliva.
He reflexively furrowed his eyebrows to hide his surprise.
“warrant? succession?”
Dantalian nodded.
“Oh, yes. I was too hasty. sorry. Let’s just say I’m going to explain it first.”
Huung.
One of the black walls surrounding Dantalian and the sun opened and a screen appeared.
On the screen, a player was fighting a battle.
Hyeon-hye looked at the screen through the sun’s eyes and murmured.
-Minerva.
Dantalian clicked his fingers.
“The player on screen is a woman named Minerva. She is an elite witch from the Witch’s Forest in the Eden dimension. You’ll know who she is when you enter the integrated shelter, but she’s also a highly influential player who heads the clan called ‘Witches’.”
As Minerva in the screen made a sign, lightning fell from the sky.
Kwalung.
The monsters she was dealing with were roasted.
The mana flowing out of her fingertips represented her skill.
The monster continued to pop out.
Even if it was scorched by lightning, burned, torn by the earth, or submerged in water, it attacked endlessly.
The witch Minerva on the screen twitched her lips.
Soon she murmured.
Power: Light of Destruction.
Dantalian, who was looking at the screen, supplemented the explanation.
“It’s the nickname of Andras of Ruin.”
Dark red lumps of light fell towards the monsters, and the monsters that touched the light disappeared as they were.
The realism of the video was so great that Taeyang’s skin throbbed as he stared at the screen.
“Minerva is a player of the human race that was most recently sponsored by the demon lord.”
Dantalian looked back at the sun.
“After receiving the backing of Andras, she gathered the witches spread throughout the dimensional labyrinth into one group. She was a strong player even without it, but could she have done it without her sponsorship?”
Dantalian smiles.
In the eyes of the sun whose intentions are unclear, it is a puzzled smile.
“The Yuri Maximov you dealt with was also sponsored by the Demon King.”
The sun’s eyes flashed.
“Of course, when I was dealing with you, I was not sponsored yet.”
“I must have gotten stronger.”
“Most of the rankers mentioned in the human race right now are like that. Yet ‘you never know’. empty cain. Players who stand out are receiving the patronage of the Demon King.”
The story that came out of Dantalian’s mouth was shocking.
-omg.
-It was a league of their own.
—– There was a reason why players lose.
-That’s not it. Think Yuri Maximoff. Haha Yun Taeyang, who has a skill set on the 15th floor, went half-and-half with Yuri Maximoff on the 10th floor.
-Yoon Taeyang won.
-10th floor skillset Yoon Taeyang would have won?
the sun asked
“I have a question.”
“Please speak.”
“What does the demon king get?”
Right.
Dantalian’s fingers collided.
“What the demon king gets. It’s a show off and a sense of accomplishment.”
“splurge? Achievement?”
“You show off your eye by sponsoring a strong player before they make their ‘full’ prominence. Likewise, I feel a sense of accomplishment as I grow players through sponsorship.”
The sun’s eyebrows twitched.
no this is a must
“It’s not like having a pet.”
Dantalian laughed.
“Pets! That’s a very apt analogy. Indeed, some Demon Lords approach players in that way. but.”
Dantalian laughed.
“I am not. I approached you with the concept of an ‘investor’.”
“investor?”
“Yes, investors. I’m a very meticulous demon king. A sense of achievement. This doesn’t apply to me. I hope you grow up and have an influence on the map of this dimension labyrinth.”
“You want to have the influence and do whatever you want?”
“That’s right. Of course, the player Taeyang Yoon has good performance and has a strong influence. Based on that, I sponsor ‘power’ and direct your actions so that you can further expand your influence.”
Right.
Dantalian snapped his fingers once more, and the screen showing Minerva changed.
It was also a great force.
– Heo Eok.
Hyunhye caught her breath.
“The designers of the dimensional labyrinth are all 72 demon lords, but there is no demon lord who provides information to the players. I will provide information to you in addition to ‘authority’.”
Dantalian held out his hand to the sun.
Once again augmented reality appeared.
[Dantalian of the 71st rank Demon King, Cheonbyeon(千變) offered sponsorship to player Taeyang Yoon.] [
If you accept the offer, Player Taeyang Yoon can inherit some of the ‘powers’ of Demon King Dantalian.] The
red jewel shines exhaled
The sun smiled at Dantalian’s pale palm.
And answered.
“no.”
– Sun?
“I won’t take it.”
Dantalian’s smile broke for the first time since their meeting.
