Chapter 171
Episode 171. King of the Sky Chain Islands (1)
Taeyang murmured as he watched the built-in skill kill contained in the legend grade card kill method.
“I never thought I would really get this.”
Taeyang recalled his conversation with Dantalian.
“If you succeed in mining powers on stage, Purkas will probably give you another power and ask you to exchange them. And that exchange would be a very suitable form for players to use.”
“I guess so.”
“To put it bluntly, Purkas is going to make a pretty tempting proposal.”
The demon lord is the one who has been doing nothing but strengthening players for an immeasurable amount of time.
Of course, it is impossible to arithmetically define exactly how many days and hours, but it was clear that it was a time in which skill levels were bound to increase regardless of aptitude or interest in work.
“Weren’t we doing this just to get that offer?”
“no.”
Dantalian adamantly cut off his words.
“The authority we must obtain has been determined. how to kill No matter what authority Purkas offers or what conditions he offers, you must reject all of them and obtain the killing method unconditionally.”
“How to live?”
The translucent Dantalian nodded.
“I have given you divinity. If you meet the conditions, you can hit the demon lord. If you’re really lucky, you can even take your breath away.”
“yes.”
“The killing law is an extension of that.”
The Demon King is a selfish tribe.
The meaning of extracting the authority from the dimension in which another demon king was in charge was also a story of receiving the hostility of the demon king in question.
Although not as much as Dantalian, it was also thanks to his power that few demon kings were openly hostile to Purkas, who was unlikable in many ways.
“What is the law of death?”
“The way to live is… … To put it simply, it is the easiest way for a mortal to kill the demon lord.”
how to kill
To put it simply, it’s a way to kill.
Digging into a higher dimension, it was also the most efficient technique for separating the body and soul.
Of course, as the sun didn’t understand how to kill, it couldn’t function as an authority that could be used right away, but in order for the picture drawn by Dantalian to be implemented properly, the sun had to acquire this skill.
Divinity is a more valuable object to demon lords than to players.
From the 36th floor, it was not difficult to predict that all kinds of devil lords’ tricks would threaten the sun.
“It’s for show off, so to speak. Of course, it would be nice to be able to freely use the killing method before reaching the 36th floor, but it starts with owning it.”
No matter how young a child is, you cannot be rude when aiming a pistol.
A child is a threat even if he or she does not know how to use a handgun and whether or not he or she can handle the recoil properly.
“But will Furkas agree to the deal? If I had to classify it, wouldn’t it be possible to say that the signature power is higher than the power mined in the dimension? Listening to you… … The power of killing is special among them.”
“That’s right. But Purkas will accept the deal.”
“I heard that Purkas is sensitive to profit and loss calculations.”
“yes. So I will do more.”
Dantalian smiled and assured me.
At that time, Taeyang did not understand Dantalian, but the reality was really as Dantalian expected.
In order not to give Dantalian any benefit and to deviate from Dantalian’s expectations, Purkas rather gave the power to the sun.
-Expectations of expectations c.
– ㅇㅇ It’s a winner.
-It’s scary.
-I don’t really like it when I think that Dantalian made it this way… … That’s great.
The sun squeezed his hand.
Dantalian’s ability.
Is it good?
Preparations to ascend to the top of the dimensional labyrinth are being made step by step.
But what if Dantalian doesn’t want that?
What Dantalian wants is a mess.
Climbing the dimensional labyrinth is exactly what the sun wants.
Or finding a byeolrim.
It would be foolish to think that Dantalian would even care about something like this.
It’s not like that right now, but it was clear that someday, the goals that Taeyang and Dantalian would want to pursue would be different.
I had to prepare for that time.
Dantalian, who fools even the same demon king.
***
It was an archipelago of floating islands connected by huge chains that greeted the sun group heading to the next level.
“and… … .”
An exclamation escaped Ran’s mouth.
In the meantime, I thought I had seen most of the surprisingly amazing sights while climbing the dimensional labyrinth, but this was the first time.
archipelago.
A group of large and small islands.
The sight of huge land masses floating in the air being connected by chains to form a large group was quite awe-inspiring.
“Your seats are at the top. It’s the top.”
Purkas appeared and murmured.
At the same time, augmented reality appeared in front of the four players.
[10-2 King of the Sky Chain Islands: Sit on the throne of the Demon King and kill the warrior who wants to take back the world.]
“Sky Chain Fortress?”
“okay.”
Purkas shook his head.
“This is the source dimension of the golden chain I was going to give you.”
The sun looked at Purkas.
“Is it another dimension that made the process of dimensional invasion into a stage?”
“okay.”
– It’s strange.
Sent the sun’s crew to the invasion dimension once again?
At first glance, this is incomprehensible.
The sun already knows what Purkas’ goal is and knows the mechanism of the dimensional invasion.
He even used it to inflict damage.
– Even after that?
repeating this?
Hyeon-hye’s question was resolved by Purkas’s words.
“This time, there will be no meaning to such an insignificant maneuver. Because it is a dimension that has already been mined.”
Mining is over.
It is a story that Purkas has nothing to gain.
“… … Why such a dimension?”
“Do you think you will answer me?”
“but. That’s right.”
The sun shrugged.
Purkas looked at the sun like that.
The hardest stage on the 29th floor.
The most difficult stage that Purkas could give was the king stage of the Sky Chain Islands.
Repeated mining means that the invasion of the demon king has been repeated.
The natives of the archipelago have been fighting the demon king for a very long time, developing numerous fighting techniques that have not been empowered, evolving themselves, and winning strength to survive.
That is, it was high.
Quite a few players can’t even touch it.
‘It would be nice if he died on this stage, but it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t.’
Purkas secretly twisted his mouth.
“Yoon Taeyang, you are the demon king here.”
“Devil?”
“Geumdo, the topmost island of the archipelago, was originally the island where the king of this dimension lived, but after I invaded the dimension, it became my villa.”
From the point of view of the natives, it is the story of the Devil’s Castle or the Devil’s Island.
“The warriors of this dimension endlessly challenge to drive out the traces of the demon king from the golden sword. Usually, it is common for them to fight among themselves or die while climbing, but this rider is different.”
There is always such a generation.
A uniquely strong and talented generation.
The Sky Chain Isles was such a generation now.
“There are four warriors. It just happens to have the same number as you.”
Purkas laughed.
The warriors who have been fighting the demon king’s minions all their lives to develop their strength.
Players who have developed their strength while receiving training from the Demon King.
“It’s not a bad catch prize.”
***
The King of Sky Chains Islands stage wasn’t very loud in the first place.
It was because Purkas had originally intended to step out of that dimension.
It was easy to see that Purkas summoned the sun and his party to the stage when the native warriors had already conquered the area around Geumdo, Demon King Island, which Purkas had not reinforced, and attacked toward the final goal.
In other words, this stage was originally created to see a 4v4 match between the 4 warriors and the 4 members of the sun crew.
It must have been five minutes since Taeyang and his party entered Geumdo.
Huung.
A large shadow fell on the golden island of Demon King.
destroy the island.
Even at a glance, a meteor fell, a stone mass similar to that of a gold sword.
The magic of Isan.
A spell with evil intentions that threatens the entire island.
Reflexively, Ran swung the fan around the meteor.
“Where are the tricks!”
The knight wearing golden full plate armor swung his sword in the air with agile movements that did not match his appearance.
mystery cutting.
The sun jumped on the knight.
Wow!
Soon, two more warriors appeared and Salomon Messiah was attached sequentially.
Smoke and flame clashed, and
light and fog collided.
Dantalian grinned at Purkas, who was watching the stage.
“Are you repeating the same mistakes?”
“Dantalian looks like Yoon Taeyang’s babysitter.”
“haha. I’m worried about the damage you’ve done.”
Dantalian grinned.
“As the player who signed the contract with Taeyang Yoon, I care about my rights. We cannot rule out the possibility that you cannot distinguish between public and private affairs.”
Dantalian insults casually with a smile on his face.
Purkas responded with no response.
“And if I say that it is a dimension that has been mined, player Yoon Taeyang will not be fooled.”
Taeyang already had the experience of recognizing the two powers of Plasma Undead Soldier.
Quaching!
Coolin, a knight in golden full-plate mail, swung his sword.
Taeyang swung the back of his hand and tried to hit the black plane that was slitting his neck, but Coolin turned his orbit in the middle of it.
The sun also orbited oppositely, but could not avoid being stamped on the hand by the blade.
Surprisingly, Taeyang failed to hit the back of his hand for the first time after entering the dimensional labyrinth.
Culinary grinned.
“Where is a guy who fights with his limbs like a monkey against the weapons of civilization?”
“Ha, the sword is a weapon of civilization?”
“The monkey doesn’t know!”
Sword Road Step.
Efficient and not spilling my intentions.
Coolin, the strongest warrior of all time in the sky chain archipelago, did not lose an inch to the sun, who dared to compete with the demon king in terms of technology.
Hundred and eight defilements (百八煩惱) – the intent to kill.
The warrior’s sword went into the scabbard and came out lightly transcending the speed of sound.
A solid red line was drawn, and the sword attack aimed for the life of the sun with its own will.
Hundred and eight defilements.
The creatures of the Sky Chain Islands are the legacy of their ancestors.
And the skill reestablished by the greatest genius of all time, the chain of heaven, by collecting the traces of authority passed on to the demon king.
In other words, it was a skill worthy of reaching the level of authority.
still lacking though.
quadruple.
A sword strike that refracts the entire space and rushes towards the body of the sun.
The sun splattered red blood and narrowly scattered the attack.
“Hoo. surely. Would it be worth mining after 100 to 200 years?”
In Dantalian’s estimation, it seemed that the skills reestablished in the generation of Culin, an unsalted genius, could rise to the level of authority through the polishing of time if they were passed on.
There wasn’t even one skill that could rise to the level of authority.
The priest who took on the role of a healer in the group of warriors used high-level divine magic at a level that allowed him to glimpse the power of ‘resurrection’.
“No, this is already authority. Judging by the record, I even succeeded once.”
Dantalian looking through records in real time.
Purkas just watched the stage without saying anything.
Eventually, Dantalian’s mouth fell shut.
‘I’m going to blow 2 powers through the barrel.’
It’s strong, but it’s not as good as Chimera in the previous stage.
It was clear that the sun’s party would overcome even them and fatally hinder Purkas’ dimensional invasion project.
Furkas was now intentionally playing a losing game.
In other words, we were making a case of being harmed by Yoon Taeyang and Dantalian.
‘Pandemic trial.’
Dantalian, who had reached that point, smiled.
“Is Purkas going this far? It couldn’t have been an easy decision.”
“Because I have nothing to lose. I decided to fill up the damage that was in the hole.”
“I bet you would.”
Dantalian shrugged and a man in a green suit appeared from behind him.
The man took off his fedora.
“Barbatos.”
“It’s been a while. Dantalian.”
