Chapter 110
Episode 110. Dragonic lab (10)
People die when struck by lightning.
However, few are prepared for the possibility of being struck by lightning.
Only a worried child, a neurotic, or a slightly peculiar type of person thinks, fears, and prepares for the possibility of being struck by lightning while living a daily life.
The methods are varied.
Wearing small metal items such as eyeglasses, watches and necklaces.
Wearing insulators such as rubber boots and raincoats as everyday clothing.
Avoid walking around the water’s edge.
Do not use items that can cause lightning strikes, such as umbrella fishing rods, etc.
But on a sunny day in the middle of Seoul, if you see a person wearing rubber boots and raincoats walking around Cheonggyecheon and shouting that it is dangerous to live near the water, most people will laugh at him or avoid him.
Of course, no one who is mentally healthy wants death.
Then why don’t people usually prepare for lightning?
I don’t know about others.
However, the sun answered like this.
“I do what I can.”
Getting hit or avoiding falling lightning with astronomical odds is, so to speak, destiny.
The impact that an individual can have on the outcome is infinitely small.
It was a question of ability.
A strong and courageous adult man can run to rescue a child trapped in a house on fire.
But the boy, who has a hard time even opening the stiff door, can’t do that.
Therefore, the sun did not prepare for the problem of being struck by lightning.
And for the same reason, I hadn’t even thought of the current situation.
Quad de de de de deuc.
One wall of the stage turned into a dimensional door without any warning.
A huge, irresistible force distorted the space.
And soon, a huge object devastated the stage and was attacked by the sun.
A bombing that far exceeded the speed of sound.
All of this happened before the sun was even aware of
it, and it didn’t change anything.
It was like dodging a thunderbolt.
There was nothing the sun could do in front of this huge wave of power.
Aaaaaaaaaaaagh!
Taeyang’s body managed to react only when the belated roar hit his eardrums.
“Huh!”
The startled sun threw his upper body back.
An antique scale pattern was reflected in the dilated pupil of the sun.
Not the scales of PX-4889, which were half-rotten under the steel armor, but the scales of a healthy, dynamic creature.
Kwadeuk.
The huge object hit by the sun trembled.
Was it a muscle movement?
Curves as graceful as the patterns express the extreme physical beauty that reptiles can have.
“This crazy.”
The sun realized belatedly.
The huge object that was right in front of him was the dragon’s paw.
-They were my favorite panties.
– Are you Jirim too? I’m stingy too…
-Ah… I have to wash my hands today. lol.
– I’m not the only one who’s tired. Haha I’m glad
– No, what is it? It’s surprising people and makes a fuss. ㅡㅡ
– Wow really. I almost had a heart attack.
[‘People who care about friends’ donated 1,000 won!]
[Yeji Yu, 6th grade, 3rd class, Eojin Elementary School, is it okay? You have a weak heart, so you always rest during gym class. If you have a heart attack, please contact me.]
-Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
-If you have a heart attack, you can’t contact me, you idiot~.
-Is this the sentiment of elementary school students these days… Let’s do something sweet.
-Reality: Yeji, over there your boyfriend is passing by. Haha Yeji: Mr.! Do you want to die?
-Ah haha This is our emotion.
gulp.
Taeyang, who unconsciously swallowed saliva, bent his head and looked up.
It was a red jewel that seemed to have been seen somewhere.
The light that spread from the red jewel became a shield and blocked the front paws.
“… … What is going on?”
***
Dantalian bent his head and looked at Balak, who put his arm through the portal.
“Shouldn’t you keep your dignity as a king like this?”
Balak, whose forehead had a thick sinew, wrung his shoulders.
Quad de de de de de de deuc.
The dragon’s paws pressed against the red shield.
The balance started to go to the shield that I wanted to endure.
Dantalian swung his arm as if he were conducting.
Parala Larak.
The book floating on Dantalian’s shoulder fell over by itself, and the red jewel strengthened the shield.
Balak showed this.
“Are you going to try it?”
“I don’t want to make things big.”
Belial grumbled with her arms crossed.
“Balak This is disrespectful not only to us but also to the rest of the demon lords.”
Andras also messed with his raven hair.
“That’s right. The dimensional labyrinth is everyone’s promise. Players are everyone’s property. Isn’t this too selfish to say that the rest of the 71 demon lords have to suffer for your own self-interest?”
Balak laughed wildly.
“Funny. Since when did we care about others? The dimensional labyrinth is just a miracle created by the tediousness of the 72 devils.”
“haha. It started, but not now. Do you know?”
“There is no compromise as long as an innocent dragon has lost his life.”
coogu palace.
Dark red-brown mana covered Balak’s body.
“Ha Balak. Aren’t you going too far because you want to listen?”
Parching.
Belial waved her hand in the air.
“We already listened to your insistence on breaking the rules of the labyrinth once. It’s hard to come out like this.”
In Belial’s hand, the spear of the Heavenly Soldiers was broken in half.
“I’m not asking for a lot of Ballack. As much respect as we have shown you. That’s all you want. Dantalian cares for you as much as you care for your tolerance. Why can’t you understand that?”
“under! That’s funny. You don’t know what I think of dragons.”
“I don’t need to know. The important thing is that we’ve conceded once, so it’s your turn this time.”
In fact, Belial, who was not the person involved, did not have to react this far.
Belial is on the friendly side with Dantalian, but even taking that into account, there was no reason to be so directly confrontational about a player’s life.
Balak’s behavior was a problem.
Balak’s arrogant tongue not only insulted Dantalian, but also crushed the rest of the demon lords along with him.
Belial was not a demon king who could ignore this and move on.
And Andras too.
coogu palace.
As Andras rose from his seat, numerous crow feathers wrapped around him.
cooong.
Balak pulled out his right arm, which had been lodged in the dimensional door.
“Do you think this body will back down by just this much?”
“haha. I guess it reminds me of the past when I warm myself up in the vicious spirit.”
The shadow of Andras shook as sharp thorns.
“When I was young, I was excellent at grilling lizards. Would you like to check it out?”
Demon King Decavaria of the 69th rank, watching the situation, murmured in a cold sweat.
“Ugh. I hate this situation Turtle.”
“Me too. I should go first.”
“To fight at a party that came to laugh and chat. Damn I guess I’m not a warmonger.”
When Decavaria and the two demon kings tried to leave, Dantalian stopped them.
“You don’t have to go.”
“what?”
“Balak, I have a suggestion.”
For Balak, the situation is clearly burdensome.
Outwardly, he was ferocious and strong, but Balak was one of the 72 demon kings who was the most pragmatic.
‘If you throw a fishing rod in this composition, you’ll catch it knowing it’s a trap. Isn’t that right, Balak?’
Dantalian smiled softly.
“You may not like it very much, but it will be worth listening to. How is it?”
Balak looked straight at Dantalian.
Soon he nodded and replied.
“Talk about it. I’ll listen to you last.”

17th floor. Dragonic Lab Stage.
Kwajik Kwajik.
The sun nervously trampled the remains of PX-4889.
The question of the giant dragon’s paws remained unanswered.
There was only one thing the sun could know.
That a transcendent being, which the current sun could not stand against, aimed at the sun and protected it.
Hyeon-hye, who watched Tae-yang’s nervous kicks, murmured.
– What was it really?
Dantalian is a ‘game’, and the ‘game’ had to be designed so that users could clear it.
Of course, there were cases where it seemed that it was not because of the overwhelming difficulty.
It was the kind of problem that users could solve if they ‘better’.
But it just wasn’t the case.
No matter how advanced modern technology is, an individual cannot survive an earthquake, tsunami, or landslide.
The dragon’s front paw, which had just been rammed by the sun, was that kind of disaster.
A disaster that appeared outside the setting that was not even notified by the system.
“Hyeon-hye, did we touch something wrong?”
-what?
“Or is my growth pace too fast for the system to check on itself?”
Hyun-hye could not answer right away.
It was because there was nothing that she could think of as a cause or precursor.
All programs work only in the injected way.
Like PX-4889, who can’t move even if he dismembers himself in front of his eyes.
It has to be.
“… … Something is wrong with this.”
Quaang.
At the kick of the sun, the steel that once moved on its own with intention turned into pieces of scrap metal and rolled on the floor.
Taeyang involuntarily spat out curse words as it seemed to be the fate he almost suffered right before.
“shit.”

-Tell me how many times mom! My Name!!! Tell me how many times mom! My Name!!! Tell me how many times mom! My Name!!!
Taeyang couldn’t read the explosively going down chat.
Even if you don’t want to be conscious, your body trembles on its own.
Even if you try to catch it, the spirit that floats on its own.
The sensation Taeyang felt was similar to receiving an achievement reward for the first time.
Salomon laughed at the trembling sun.
“This looks like he’s been drunk on some kind of drug.”
“Salomon, you are no different, are you? But this time, it’s particularly severe. Because I got several.”
I looked at the sun with my eyes shining, wondering if Ran was curious.
After 30 seconds, the sun woke up from the afterglow and answered.
“Twenty.”
“what? 20?”
“You’re crazy.”
“Twenty… … . The average of A-rank players is… … .”
It was the moment when the three players made a fuss at Taeyang’s words.
Whoop!
The vision of the four players reversed.
The auditorium on the 17th floor stage where all the remaining Demon Kings escaped.
Balak hit the four players with a twisted smile.
“Congratulations. You cleared stage 17.”
“… … .”
“Muscle strength measurement, horsepower measurement, and combat power measurement. It was a stage worth seeing after a long time.”
“… … .”
“He did a good job killing the researchers. It was the first time I had so many dragons die at once on my stage. It was a rare scene.”
“… … .”
The four players did not respond to Balak’s words.
Balak’s words contained congratulations, but his tone did not.
The non-verbal expressions contained in the text conveyed the condition of Balak.
Curse Rage. and perseverance.
No one wants to touch a volcano that is about to erupt.
Especially if the volcano has the name Balak the Dragon King.
As soon as the four players didn’t say a word, Balak shook his head.
“It is the door to the next stage.”
kugung.
Four doors rose behind Balak’s back.
A red door that means reinforcement.
The green door signifies recovery.
A golden door that means money.
and a white door.
The brows of the four players twitched at the same time.
Not three, but four doors.
It was clearly heterogeneous.
Balak raised an eyebrow.
Then he looked directly at Yoon Taeyang and said.
“This is the door for you. Yoon Tae-yang.”
“… … what?”
“If you clear it, I will hand over some of my powers.”
For an instant, silence prevailed.
“In your players’ way, yes. You can see it as a legendary card.”
