Chapter 228
Episode 228. Catch up (3)
Somewhere in the back alley of the integrated shelter.
Byullim sat down on the wall.
“Ha, I’m going crazy.”
In fact, she knew too.
She is being forced.
“No, this is an excuse.”
Byulrim let out a sigh.
I honestly did.
Ran Messiah Salomon.
It is the sun that wants to separate the three that climbed the tower together with the sun.
What is Byeolrim?
Calmly thinking, there is nothing better than the three of them.
Fog enveloped the streets while Byulrim painted on the floor with his fingers, with a gloomy expression on his face.
Swoop.
Byulrim asked without even looking back.
“Messiah?”
“okay.”
“Long time no see.”
As a popular streamer, Byullim’s voice was quite charming.
Pleasantly booming voice.
Even though the rugged emotions were fully contained in it, it was not visible.
There was an exchange between Byullim and Messiah.
This is because most of the skilled Dantalian streamers have interacted with each other at least once.
Since Byulrim’s English skills were quite good, there was no difficulty in communicating even when he was a user.
In the first place, Byulrim was also active in trying to expand its foot among streamers.
“Long time no see.”
Byeolrim asked instead of greeting.
“Did your brother call you?”
“Why do you want to go up so much?”
Byulrim pursed his lips and answered.
“… … It’s abnormal to stay sane while in the dimensional labyrinth. know?”
“I understand.”
“Me too, honestly… … I am not in good spirits.”
Byeollim stayed suppressed for a very long time in the land picking stage.
Prisoner camp of the elven camp.
The place where Orc and human camp prisoners were accommodated without distinction.
“To be honest, I saw a lot of things I couldn’t see. If the synchro rate was normal, he might have committed suicide.”
“not good… … Did you get a job?”
“huh. what… … But I wasn’t hurt that badly.”
The elven guards were indifferent to the fighting between the prisoners.
Fortunately, she was able to overcome such incidents by accumulating specifications that were compliant compared to characters of the same class.
And Byeolrim prevented the people around him from experiencing such a thing.
Only to people behind bars like her.
“I saw all sorts of disgusting things in the cage on the other side.”
The way elves ravage humans.
The appearance of orcs trampling on humans.
Among them, the hardest thing for Byullim to endure was the way humans trampled on humans.
“Humans did everything possible for humans.”
Fisting, gaining unequal authority, sexually torturing, and even… … Even eating when food is scarce.
“If the game hadn’t gotten weird, I would have just killed myself and got out of it.”
But I couldn’t.
Players connected to Dantalian did so instinctively.
“There were people who held each other in the process.”
user ball.
Wizard Jordan.
and other players assigned to the same cage.
Byullim let out a long sigh and buried her face between her knees.
“It’s the life they saved while dying.”
The reason for giving up their lives was, absurdly, ‘I have to use the NPCs to deliver information to get closer to Clear even by 1cm.’
Byulrim nervously raised his head.
Messiah saw deep scars through Byulrim’s eyes.
Mental scars that can be found on wounded souls.
“I was the one who saved them from dying. Then me too… … Isn’t it right to add at least one hand to clearing the dimensional labyrinth? What would I do to commit suicide? Just do what everyone else does. Is that weird?”
Byulrim’s voice became furious.
“If you’re just going to wait, like my brother said… … .”
“Byeollim.”
“If that’s the case, I’d rather die on the spot!”
Messiah asked in a dry voice.
“Aren’t you alive?”
“okay. lived So I’ll continue their maintenance… … .”
“Stop acting foolishly.”
“No kidding!”
Unknowingly, Byulrim raised his voice and looked at the Messiah in surprise.
The face of the Messiah looking at her was distorted like a thug.
“I ask. What can you do?”
at the words of the Messiah.
No, Byullim was speechless at the Messiah’s purple hair.
“hey. Let’s be more honest. Does your move like that help the human camp? Isn’t that what satisfies you?”
“… … .”
“Which one is for those players who sacrificed for you?”
Byulrim shut his mouth.
“Yoon Taeyang is now a member of our human camp… … No, it’s the final weapon of the player faction. Except for you, all players believe in one of them and go. You know that?”
The Messiah’s words were true.
“Yoon Taeyang has built a flawless career so far. No matter how strong the opponent appeared, I won and no matter how extreme the situation, I escaped. Yoon Taeyang has one fatal weakness.”
Byeollim sighed and bowed her head.
Messiah’s unique glinting eyes stabbed Byullim sharply.
“There could be cases where I can’t use my strength in an important place because I’m being swayed by you. And what if it repeats itself?”
“… … .”
“The sun will waver helplessly. Players, camps, clears, whatever, they all have no meaning. It’s behind the scenes. Putting you in danger is more important to Yoon Taeyang. You know better than that, right?”
“… … Because you came in to save me in the first place.”
“okay. There are things only you can do Hide well and be as inconspicuous as possible. It’s worth more than what the player ball and Jordan risked their lives to do.”
that’s the reality
Messiah brushed her hair.
“please. Yoon Taeyang saw you alone and entered the dimensional labyrinth. what if you die 300 million people? I don’t know. I don’t know if Yoon Taeyang would even care about that.”
“brother is… … .”
“I know a little bit about Taeyang’s family history. You said you were the last family.”
Byulrim finally lowered her head.
“Byeollim Do you know why I logged on to Dantalian?”
“… … To save the world?”
“That was a superficial reason.”
“Were there other reasons?”
“It is like the sun.”
Messiah smiled.
Fangs flashed sharply between his lips.
“To save my family. Unlike the sun, I failed. I couldn’t even do anything. okay. You were alive on the 36th floor, but my family wasn’t.”
“… … .”
“My sister was a beginner who had never passed the 10th floor. I’m pretty good at it, but yeah. It was newbie by my standards. My older sister disappeared from the fifth floor.”
“… … .”
“I searched the 5th floor like crazy. I waited for a very long time at the shelter. I just searched for it while frantically talking about saving the world.”
The reason why the Messiah logged on to the game claiming to save 300 million people.
It was two things.
Because his family is in it.
And when I lost her, I didn’t want to be pitied.
“I couldn’t find my sister. But I thought I should save the others.”
I came up with such a promise.
Commitment becomes obsession, and that obsession even became the origin.
On the level of psychosis, so to speak.
“however… … Yoon Taeyang is a crazy bastard.”
Even though Messiah obsessed to the level of mental illness and followed him while sharpening his mortal will, the distance widened.
The sun is incredibly strong.
To be honest, it was hard to follow.
“He made me question my existence. Is there any reason for me to follow you? There is a kid in front of me who is this good. By the way, Mr. X. somehow i followed And do you know what I was thinking?”
Byeollim looked at the Messiah.
His eyes always looked crazy somewhere.
that of a fanatic.
“You don’t have to be the same. I don’t have to do better, and I don’t have to do what he does.”
The Messiah continued to speak like he was chewing.
“I just have to do what I do.”
“… … .”
“That’s all.”
Sunlight broke through the fog.
Chi-Ik-.
Air bubbles rose from Messiah’s skin touched by sunlight.
Messiah took a step into the shadows.
“Yoon Taeyang has Yoon Taeyang’s bowl and I have my own bowl. And I can’t do the things he does, and he can’t do the things I do.”
“… … .”
“I am doing what I can.”
“I am… … .”
“You do what you can too.”
After staring at Messiah for a long time, Byeolrim let out a deep sigh.
Her choice was surrender.
“I won’t go.”
“Good idea.”
“it’s okay.”
Byeolrim, who had been grumpy, got up from his seat and walked out of the alley.
***
The biggest feature of the Transcendentalist.
It means throwing off the bonds of mortality.
Transcendentalists cannot die naturally.
What is the life of transcendental people like?
Most transcendentalists remember the time right after transcending as the happiest time.
In fact, it is more correct to describe that period as a mortal with overwhelmingly stronger power than other mortals, rather than expressing it as a transcendental person.
‘If player Yoon Taeyang had transcended normally, he would have been enjoying life in full swing.’
Dantalian laughed as he put his hand through his open chest and pumped up mana.
‘Well, if it wasn’t for me, there wouldn’t have been anything to transcend. It doesn’t matter.’
After all, those who have just transcended enjoy various things.
according to your beliefs.
Justice is forcibly given to the absurd reality, and history is restored by lifting the veil of the past that was surrounded by darkness.
It is also normal to seize power and rule the world and spend hundreds of years surrounded by desire.
Some aim for a higher realm, some for deeper pleasure, and some for human perfection.
for a very long time.
and realize
The fact that human desire is fleeting in front of infinite time.
desire will.
It is a resource that is eventually consumed.
‘From the moment you know that death is very far away, the real life of a transcendental person begins.’
The moment the transcendental person realizes that fact, he is half-transcended from desire.
The reason why humans are bound to be tormented by desire.
I live for 100 years at most, but there are many things to do.
Because I want to sow as many seeds as possible, prosper my civilization, and enjoy more pleasures.
But once the brain realizes that the body is not designed to die, it instinctively makes the decision.
You don’t have to want pleasure.
It’s a pleasure to taste someday in life anyway, but there’s no need to fret your body right now.
Wouldn’t it be possible to enjoy everything stably if we put rational judgment first and promote physical safety?
What happens when this series of processes are repeated and the transcendentalist perfectly adapts to transcendence?
‘It becomes lonely.’
The process of enjoying all that mortals can enjoy.
In other words, it is a family in which transcendents are excluded from mortal society.
Transcendental beings are incomparable to existing mortals.
When a mortal lives with a transcendent, the mortal has no choice but to revere the transcendent.
Awe.
It is a story of respect and fear at the same time.
All living beings instinctively avoid beings different from themselves.
Mortals who have transcended the limits of their species can no longer be seen as beings like them.
The distance naturally spreads like that.
The transcendent is a lonely existence.
Can not help it.
72 Devil.
In a way, it was inevitable that a group of transcendentalists came into being.
The transcendentalists who were shunned in the dimension eventually turned their eyes to the outside of the dimension.
Of course, there are exceptions, but even if you don’t look outside, you have no choice but to welcome him when another transcendent approaches.
As such, a link is created one by one, and a group of transcendental beings is created.
make a society
‘Then the fun part.’
After being exposed to the same environment as human society again, the demon lords’ desires begin to boil again.
Because most of them are beings who have transcended through enlightenment related to armed forces.
Competing to see who is stronger was inevitable, and the level of strength is on a different level from that of the mortals, so the scale grows.
It’s obviously a battle, but it’s a war from the outside.
It’s at the level where an entire dimension is blown away, so I have no choice but to name it war.
That’s how the rank war broke out.
“That’s the story that it was the demon king’s instinct after all.”
And now.
In the dimensional labyrinth, the 2nd Demon King Rank War was taking place.
The heat of war amplifies even the slightest emotions and makes them confront each other.
‘of course… … I can’t say that Gremory doesn’t have the power.’
Demon lords who had suppressed violence for a long time lost control when they saw the violence erupting.
It was as if a suppressed dam had burst.
To give a close reason, the power of amplification that Gremory spread would be the reason, but if you look closely, there is a more primitive reason.
Why do they belong to the 72 Demon Kings out of many groups of transcendentalists?
Why is a demon king a demon king?
Among the transcendents, there are definitely those who are not demon lords.
But why do they define themselves as demon kings and act up to their names?
because that’s what it is
Because he is such a being, he joins the group named Demon King and behaves accordingly.
Is Gremory the only one who can’t understand it?
Agares takes off his old man’s mask and returns as a warrior and wields his sword.
Barbatos wants to find Dantalian, but… … Unfortunately, the wealth accumulated on a regular basis was great.
If he had disappeared as soon as he started like Dantalian, he wouldn’t have known. Unfortunately, he didn’t.
Obviously, the beginning was the confrontation between Barbatos and Dantalian, but now the situation was too messed up to be seen as a simple confrontation between two demon kings.
“Ha ha ha ha ha!”
In the meantime, Baal laughed madly.
When you wave your arms, the sky trembles, and when you stamp your feet, the ground cracks.
Among the 72 demon lords, the most god-like dignity.
The same goes for transcendentalists who want to make a fortune.
Baal was also the most thrilling and attractive prey when drunk.
Koo Goo Goo Goo.
‘The seventh.’
The month-long battle halved a total of seven floors from the 65th to the 71st floor.
The dimensional labyrinth could not withstand the aftermath of the battle of the transcendentalists.
It is only natural that transcendents fight in a place originally designed as a battlefield for mortals.
There are no fatalities yet.
‘But soon.’
if you’re ready
Dantalian’s eyes lit up.
‘Baal.’
your neck soon.
drop it
***
The Tomb of Glory on the 55th floor.
Players from the Orcs and Human camps lined up.
The player who stood at the forefront was Yoon Taeyang.
the sun laughed
“Let’s go!”
