Chapter 166
Episode 166. Plague Eradication (14)
A weapon developed by Aris, Urf’s older sister and head of the bioweapons engineering section.
Undead Soldier.
I couldn’t help but admit that it was a truly innovative, shocking and great invention.
The undead soldier, whose 10th generation supercomputer followed her will and repeatedly improved, almost prevented the destruction that the demon king put into the dimension.
“Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”
The cries of sea dragons, which sounded like human screams, shook the entire fortress.
Regretful.
To begin with, Undead Soldier was a failure.
why? Because I couldn’t kill the sea dragon.
He cut off all his limbs, punched holes in his torso, and once had his head torn in two, but the sea dragon did not die.
Sea dragons have undergone several metamorphoses.
After the first metamorphosis, the sea dragon grew in size.
The war situation, which had been pushed back just because it came out after being covered in an eggshell for a while, quickly returned to the Middle Ages.
Even after the supercomputer clearly recognized the situation, the situation did not change.
As time went on, stronger undead soldiers came down and more effectively dealt with the sea dragon, but the weight leaned towards the sea dragon.
The metamorphosis ended more and more quickly, and the sea dragon became stronger exponentially each time it metamorphosed, while at the same time recovering from its wounds.
The appearance of the sea dragon, which was thought to resemble the Sphinx when it first appeared, is now completely different.
The skin became shiny and hard at the same time as if it were covered with jewels.
Bigger and sharper teeth chewed and swallowed hundreds and thousands of undead soldiers without hesitation, and the body that was thought to resemble an animal became closer to the disgusting living weapon like an undead soldier.
The Sun and the others couldn’t understand it, but that was the true face of the Chimera that Purkas had cultivated in combination.
In a short time, the sea dragon had become something hideous, like an undead soldier who could not be called a resemblance.
And the players, Taeyang and Ran Salomon, realized that it wasn’t just their appearance that changed.
The air that blows is different.
The pressure felt by the skin is different.
And the physical force exerted by the lightly moving body is different.
From the moment the war situation changed, Taeyang and his party didn’t just watch.
“Ran!”
Powerful Nansin (怪力亂神) – Typhoon (颱風).
Suddenly, Ran ascended into the sky and commanded all the winds in the area.
It was a gigantic wind technique with perfect timing that matched the attack tempo of the undead soldiers.
Quad de de de de de de de deuc!
The ferocious blade of the wind scratched the jewel-like skin of the sea dragon.
“Kurrrrr!”
But he didn’t seem to care.
“Is it true that this is taking damage?”
Neither Ran, Salomon, nor Hyeon-hye could give a definite answer.
The sea dragon’s reaction was lukewarm.
Something is wrong.
“Does this make sense?”
-No matter how much I resisted with plasma… … .
Of course, Taeyang has the best firepower among the group, but if you ask if Ran or Salomon’s firepower isn’t enough, it’s not.
Salomon’s next attack was also the same.
The only thing that works is the technology of the sun.
– For what?
momentary worry.
Soon the sun hit my forehead.
“divinity!”
divinity.
Dantalian’s own rank given to the sun.
“What if Purkas gave away his rank to the sea dragon?”
to some extent explained.
– No, it makes no sense. Then you shouldn’t have been hit by Salomon’s magic either.
“That was before you metamorphosed.”
– You said you had the personality of Purkas while you were metamorphosing?
“Maybe something like that?”
-that… … .
“It’s a monster that has plasma ’empowered’ in the first place. Calculated in terms of the dimensional labyrinth, it means that the sea dragon also received an S-rank card from Purkas.”
Dantalian explained that the authority given by the demon king goes up in rank just by holding it, regardless of sponsorship or cards.
And the difference that occurs when a player who has risen in rank like that and other players fight.
At least from Sun’s point of view, the story Dantalian had told and the case of the battle with the sea dragon seemed to match exactly.
-But then the back and forth… … .
Hyeon-hye reacted negatively, but the sun shone in her eyes.
“Let’s experiment. Regardless of my logic, it matters whether or not my attacks break his defenses. Salomon!”
In conclusion, Taeyang’s reasoning was sensational and lacking in evidence, but correct.
The Chimera Sea Dragon created by Purkas was an aggregation of the bodies of various monsters and the powers Purkas himself had collected from multiple dimensions.
For the sake of physical balance, those powers were not functioning 100%, but through repeated metamorphoses as Purkas made them run ‘out of control’, they were now perfectly awake.
Power Plasma.
Power Preva (餓鬼)
Power hardening (硬化).
The Chimera’s body was slowly crumbling from the inside, but regardless of that, the status it inhabited went up.
Of course, Taeyang did not accurately pinpoint the details, but merely inferred through intuition.
Smoke Pistol – Type Gatling.
Do-do-do-do-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Smoke bullets fired at 200 rounds per minute hit the sea dragon’s wide back, but the sea dragon did not budge.
On the other hand.
Starburst High Kick.
Quad de de de de deuc.
With a sound that could be heard at first glance, the sea dragon’s forepaws visibly distorted their shape.
“Kurrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!”
A violent reaction is a bonus.
conclusion.
The sun’s attack works, but the other player’s attack doesn’t work.
-Is this situation getting serious?
-Hey, isn’t this really dangerous…?
-How did Yoon Taeyang catch that by himself?
– Can’t catch it…?
-If I could catch it, I would have caught it from the bottom of the cliff without having to drag it up like this.
-Evanderan
and Salomon looked at the sun at the same time.
Their hearts were also not different from the viewers.
The fact that the sun’s attack was effective was encouraging, but it seemed that the sun alone was not capable of catching the sea dragon.
“Can I catch it?”
That is why Ran’s question was extremely realistic.
No matter how strong Taeyang and his party are, they are still players.
player.
To put it bluntly, in the end, the player is just a creature that the demon king destroyed or entered the dimensional labyrinth instead.
A monster born with the purpose of ‘destroying’ the dimension and a living being in the dimension.
It was self-evident which way the scales were tipping.
“Do I need to catch it?”
Salomon’s question was reasonable.
The idea of making a deal with the demon king may have been wrong.
A transaction is an act between equals.
It was difficult to say that the gap between the player and the demon king was reachable even as a joke.
In other words, Salomon and Ran realized reality again.
The few remaining undead soldiers threw themselves at the sea dragon.
A sharp sword, a heavy hammer, a pointed spear.
Or something magical.
I tried to reach the sea dragon through all means, but it stopped at the attempt.
the sun murmured
“that’s right. I might not be able to catch it.”
“then… … .”
Ran’s words were cut off.
“And yes. If you calculate the profit and loss, you might be better off not taking it.”
Shouting out loud that they would make a deal with the Demon King was an action that was able to be established because Taeyang and his party had overwhelming force ‘compared to the stage’.
Sun’s lips twisted.
“You think you can’t?”
that monster.
Do you think it’s impossible for us to hunt?
“You can do it.”
if. do.
A line that someone would hate saying that he is like an old man.
Unknowingly, Ran looked back at the sun.
I remembered the steps of the sun.
Someone who fought openly with the boss maniac warrior who was systematically created to ‘avoid’.
It is the sun.
Who is the man who jumped over the 10th floor gap and rose to the top of the same generation with the specs that had just graduated from the 15th floor in the clan war?
It is the sun.
Who is the man who managed to fight against the demon king, the creator and manager of the dimensional labyrinth, and even overcome it?
This too is the sun.
She reflected for a moment.
‘It’s not much different now.’
Yoon Taeyang always chose this path and walked it.
Ran’s opinion didn’t matter much.
Even when we only hoped that it would not be possible, Taeyang did it.
Even when I was forced to help, I did it in the end.
Even when time passed and he blindly believed in the power of the sun, he did it without change.
Disbelief, hindrance, and pressure from blind trust couldn’t stop the sun.
It is the same this time.
It seems impossible, but Taeyang does it if he thinks he has to.
Ran seemed to know a little bit about a man named Taeyang.
“It is terrifyingly blind. Again.”
The goal of conquering the dimensional labyrinth.
We move under the belief that all immediate difficulties will eventually become the basis for that goal.
The sun knew how absurd the goal was.
Nonetheless, it is intended to be achieved.
That’s why, even if there are any ridiculous adversity in the process, they will bump into it.
After fiercely calculating and concocting a method, he finally made it.
The grinning Taeyang spoke in front of the sea dragon, which had become a monster in its true sense.
“All we have to do is do what we prepared.”
There is no option not to.
do everything you can
The next thought is passed on to the next.
“Salomon.”
“ah.”
Smoke Magic: Dust Gate.
As if he had been waiting, the smoke gate opened behind Taeyang’s back.
At the same time as the body of the sun jumped into the smoke gateway.
Aaaaaaaang!
The intact left forepaw blew away the space where the sun stood in a radius of about 30m.
“The fortress that is standing still is useful. Dissolution.”
pounding. pounding.
The two dragon hearts pulsate vigorously.
The mana circuit, which had been wrung out until the very last thread, was flowing abundantly before anyone knew it.
Wooddeuk.
The sun broke its neck and jumped toward the sea dragon.
The sea dragon’s intact left forepaw cuts through the line of movement.
Smoke Magic: Dust Gate.
Salomon’s proper assistance helped to evade the attack.
It was upstairs in the fort where the sun reappeared.
To be precise, the part that Ran and Salomon had damaged through the plasma weapon at the beginning of the battle.
“Kurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!”
The sea dragon rushed at the sun without even giving it a chance.
It was because he instinctively knew that that short gap would be the beginning of a powerful attack.
“To street fighting! flan… … How many were you? Finally, anyway!”
The sun entered the building with a sigh.
At the same time, the wall exploded.
Of course, it was the sea dragon’s handiwork.
Quadd deed deed.
Part of the wall collapsed, but the fortress, built through a process that Earth’s architects couldn’t understand, survived.
Sigh-.
Salomon muttered as he chewed on the cigarette he was biting into.
“Plan A failed completely.”
The plan is to use the undead soldier to drain his strength and easily deliver the final blow.
“It is not a failure.”
Ran, who had come down to the ground before he knew it, answered.
It’s literally not a failure.
It failed to drain the power, but consumed most of the undead soldiers.
He also succeeded in grasping the power of the sea dragon.
I can’t say I’ve seen it all the way to the bottom, but I’ve figured out its characteristics and the magnitude of its power.
but.
back.
Power went into the hand holding the fan.
One of the most powerful spells she can perform, the magic of superpowers.
However, the sea dragon did not seem to have suffered any damage.
A situation where Salomon and Ran could hardly contribute.
I can’t help with the utility part, but most of the situations that Taeyang has to solve.
“How did you see the possibility of an attack here?”
