Shincon’s One Coin Clear

Episode 226. Catch up (1)

Integrated Shelter Inn.

Salomon asked for a cigarette.

write-.

ha.

A cigarette that was forced to smoke in order to learn the family’s secret art, Smoke Magic.

When he came to his senses, cigarettes had become the biggest pleasure in Salomon’s life.

‘It’s something you don’t know even if you know.’

As a child, when he had not yet learned to smoke, Salomon would vomit several times because he could not stand the smell of cigarettes from his father.

I honestly don’t know.

Did you not like the smell of cigarette smoke?

Maybe he didn’t like the arrogant scoldings of his father, who gave off a dirty smell.

‘Well, if I had to ask, I hated both.’

And now.

Salomon Arcraptor’s father, Benjamin Arcraptor, does not exist.

Therefore, there is no rebuke coming out of his mouth.

Also, the same was true of the cigarette-stained smell that Salomon hated.

For his father, for his family, for magic, for battle, for Salomon’s own mental health.

After lighting a cigarette for various reasons, Salomon’s nose was so numb that he couldn’t smell the smell of cigarettes.

The two things Salomon Arcraptor hated most in the world had really disappeared from his world.

Whoa-.

A puff of cigarette smoke stretched out from Salomon’s exhalation, obscuring his vision.

“Is it true that he disappeared?”

Benjamin Arcraptor’s rebuke became Salomon Arcraptor’s blood, flesh, and magic and slumbered.

The body of Salomon Arcraptor was probably soaked with the tobacco-stained smell from his father.

“A useless thought.”

write-.

Salomon inhaled the smoke deep into his lungs again and looked out the window.

The A-grade inn is located right in the center of the shelter and is quite high, so if you look out the window, you can see the panoramic view of the integrated shelter.

Players roar like ants around shelters and gates.

The reason why they are working so hard is that this is the most upheaval period since the establishment of the dimensional labyrinth.

That’s also in favor of the human faction players.

thought Salomon, looking down at them with a rather self-deprecating expression.

‘Of course, it’s thanks to the great player Taeyang Yoon.’

Thanks to Yoon Taeyang, the Orcs and Human camps had a temporary but ‘flawless’ alliance under the contract between the best shaman and wizard in each camp.

The case of concluding an alliance with an orc with a single punch was called a one-power pact among the players in the human camp.

The sun looked like it was going to rise any moment after the signing of the agreement, but that wish did not come true.

It was because there was a need to secure the elven camp.

It’s true that the elves camp isn’t a threat if you stick together fairly, but if you get stabbed in the back of the head, it’s a different story.

For an alliance to be strong, trust must be strong, and for trust to be strong, the back of the head must not be itchy.

Of course, the delay would be within three days.

“Whoa.”

After burning three cigarettes in a row, Salomon finally smoked a cigar.

Added to that, I sucked hard.

Parss.

Strong smoke filled the room, and hot smoke from the cigar burned Salomon’s lips and tongue.

A large amount of nicotine, which was incomparable to that of ordinary cigarettes, shook Salomon’s eyesight.

“shit.”

thought.

I had to think.

thoughts, not thoughts.

Salomon sat on the sofa and continued his thoughts.

Taeyang, who had concluded the agreement with his younger brother, called in the party members, namely, Messiah and Ran Salomon.

and declared

“You don’t have to come up.”

Taeyang told them everything because he couldn’t hide the truth from his colleagues even if he didn’t know from others.

How the dimensional labyrinth was created.

What was the devil’s goal?

What awaits at the end of the labyrinth.

and determined

“… … So there is no point in climbing the labyrinth. There is nothing left that we want at the top.”

The sun’s party rises or does not rise, but the situation is the same.

This is because there is no ‘advanced force’ in the player’s camp anymore.

The high-end force is the sun, and the rest is only meant to support the rear of the meat shield skirmisher.

Either way, when it comes to the value of one soldier, Taeyang did not want to consume his precious comrade.

I thought there was no reason to risk my life and climb the dimensional labyrinth.

That’s why he insisted that the party be the ‘exception’ not to climb the labyrinth.

“It’s absurd to think about it again.”

Of course, Salomon at the time was not thinking much different than he is now.

It is a story of protest.

But the sun asked.

“Then what can you do?”

It was said to Salomon, but it was a message to the other two as well.

Salomon and Lan Messiah had no choice but to become dumb who ate honey in front of that question.

‘What can I do?’

Of course, Salomon, Ran, and Messiah.

I couldn’t accept this situation.

It wasn’t a matter of pride.

No matter how close your colleagues are, you can’t just leave your future to your colleagues and do nothing.

That’s what losers do.

If Salomon were such a passive human type, he wouldn’t have even left the Endress Express stage in the first place.

“Whoa.”

Once again, the heavy smoke engulfed the son-in-law.

What can Salomon choose?

If you want to climb the labyrinth like the sun.

so that the action is not meaningless.

To not sit helplessly and wait.

Salomon had been thinking about it.

how much time has passed

smart smart

A knock came through the door.

There were three half cigars lying next to the sofa.

“come in.”

rattle.

it was lan

As soon as she entered, she coughed and opened the window.

“Cool. hey! Are you going to die of rotting lungs?”

“Ah, I was thinking about it.”

“I’m thinking, I’m sleeping…”

Salomon, half-blind, asked in a muffled voice while biting on his fourth cigar.

“Way… … ? Did you think?”

How to climb the labyrinth by following the sun. or justification.

Ran, who swung a fan to get the poisonous smoke out of the window at once, replied with a wrinkled nose.

“one thing.”

“iced coffee.”

“you?”

“I also thought of one thing. But what about the Messiah?”

“yet… … .”

Salomon nodded.

Salomon and Ran opened their mouths at the same time with a slight silence.

“We must become transcendentalists too.”

If you become a transcendent and become a meaningful force, your worries will be solved.

It will be helpful in the process of climbing the labyrinth, and you will be able to actively find the answers you were trying to find in the process of climbing the labyrinth if you become a transcendental person.

the end of the spell.

And the Endress Express stage being fully dimensional.

opinions gathered.

“That’s the problem. How to become a transcendentalist.”

“okay. That’s the real problem.”

Salomon rubbed his eyes.

It wasn’t difficult to come up with an answer.

The problem is the road to the answer.

Ran was the first to comment.

“The simplest way is to collect achievements.”

Achievements.

This is the way the sun has guaranteed.

Taeyang said from the beginning that the achievement system itself is in line with the principle of divinity calling its own strength.

This is in other words.

“okay. It means that if you collect a lot of achievements, you might be able to create a divinity yourself.”

“Why do you look so skeptical?”

“But Dantalian said that demon lords are wary of the appearance of a new transcendent. That too badly.”

The demon lord hates the appearance of a transcendent.

In common sense, did such people create a way to transcendence?

Salomon didn’t think so.

“Structurally, the way to obtain divinity through achievements is highly likely to be blocked. I am.”

“surely. Even hopefully… … There is a high possibility that the achievement itself is so inefficient that it is close to impossible.”

Ran nodded.

Although they couldn’t confirm the objective evidence with their own eyes, their predictions were correct.

In fact, even in the process of the divinity of the sun blooming, achievements exerted the least influence among various skills and artifact powers.

Taeyang, who has accumulated the most achievements among all players, did the same.

Even if you climbed the tower all the way, it was impossible to create a divinity with achievements.

“Do you have any other alternatives in mind, Salomon?”

“How about powers?”

Get empowered support.

In other words, get a Legend grade card.

This time, Ran shook her head.

“No, authority is also not the answer.”

Until now, no player had obtained a legend grade card, but there were many who obtained the authority.

Which of them became transcendental?

Of course not.

In the first place, isn’t this also the form the devil pays to the player?

In principle, it was no different from the idea of gaining divinity through achievements.

Ran and Salomon sat opposite each other on the sofa.

The two contemplated again for a long time.

Salomon asked for another cigar and Ran shook his fan.

A long silence flows like that.

Salomon and Ran opened their mouths at the same time.

Salomon’s answer.

“divinity.”

Ran’s answer.

“relics.”

And Ran nodded first.

“Ah, the divine would be faster.”

“But what does a relic mean? You can see the possibility of transcendence with artifacts?”

Of course, that’s what Salomon had in mind as well.

Another name for a relic.

transcendent weapon.

Wouldn’t it be possible to transcend using this?

In fact, Taeyang, who used Night Horses, got a sense of flowering and achieved transcendence by using After Apocalypse.

“But that was only possible because the sun had divinity.”

“By focusing differently. The point is that transcendence weapons are a way to experience transcendence. Let’s start from there. Hmmm, of course I admit that gaining divinity is a quicker way.”

Both the method proposed by Ran and the method proposed by Salomon had strengths and weaknesses.

Acquiring the artifact had a practical possibility, but the possibility of access to transcendence was slim.

Conversely, obtaining divinity was the surest way to approach transcendence, but the way to obtain it was at a loss.

“Hmm… … .”

I was speechless again at the vague story.

Then, once again, there was a knock at the door.

“who?”

“Messiah?”

Ran, who identified the person through the vibrations of the air, stood up first.

rattle.

A white-haired man with pale skin and crazy-looking eyes.

was the messiah

“It’s late.”

Ran smiled a little.

Messiah smiled and shook her head.

“That’s what you mean.”

Messiah blurted out his words and moved his body a step.

And Ran and Salomon rose from their seats at the same time.

– It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you. both.

It was a skinny woman who appeared behind Messiah’s back.

The red hair that has lost its luster covers a body that is almost like a skull with a crumbly texture, and even the protruding cheekbones are a category of beauty.

The translucent woman laughed helplessly.

-hmm. I don’t need to explain. Because I was already talking about it. Yes?

“Gremory?”

“Why are you here… … .”

The 56th rank demon king descended in the form of an oracle. It was the true Gremory.
