Chapter 30
Episode 30. Conversation (1)
“What is the equipment name?”
“The Crystal of the North Wind.”
The unique card Ran chose is equipment.
More precisely, it was an ornament.
That’s how it was when I heard the name.
Pararak.
The sun crossed the category.
Of course, the equipment Ran chose was also in the solar category.
“Ah, I found it.”
Crystal of the North Wind.
Looking at the picture, it was difficult to say that it was an accessory.
Once it was too big.
A jewel the size of a fist of the sun.
As a valuable item, it would have great value, but it could not be used as a weapon, and it seemed ambiguous to keep it.
Not to mention annoying in combat.
“Is this really the right size?”
“That’s right.”
“To receive synergy, you would have to make it in kind. Are you okay?”
“I’m thinking of hanging it at the end of the debt.”
The synergy was ‘Agility +1 Intelligence +1 Wizard +1 Mana Freeze +1’.
It’s a little disappointing that more than two synergies aren’t sticking together, but objectively, the synergy itself wasn’t bad.
I don’t know what the setting of the sun is, but I’m an agile intellect mage. All of them are synergies that suit Ran.
In particular, the eye-catching synergy was mana freezing.
Mana freeze was a very unusual synergy.
Usually synergy gave additional stats (strength, agility hero, etc.) or special effects (vampire divinity, etc.) when conditions were met, but mana freeze granted skills when conditions were met.
-Skill: Mana Freeze – Cannot use mana for 1 minute. Freezes mana in the space you designate for 1 minute.
It’s an extreme double-edged sword.
At the same time, it was also a tactical weapon that could be used effectively if there were reliable companions.
“Can I use Mana Freeze?”
Mana Freeze was a synergy that would take effect when only two were collected.
Ran shook his head excitedly at Taeyang’s question.
“doesn’t exist. This is my first time. I think it will come in handy if I get it.”
“If you use it, it will be fatal for you too?”
Mana was a word that encompassed all of the mana in Eden and the energy in the blue sky.
And Ran is a shaman who can handle the wind, and of course he used Ki to deal with the wind.
Physically-based occupations such as fighters like the sun or warriors can play a role to some extent even if ki is frozen, but Ran literally has no choice but to become a scarecrow if he uses mana freeze.
Ran shrugged.
“So you better understand the importance of this skill.”
Finally, a skill was attached to the crystal of the north wind.
Skill: Call Ice Field.
It was a skill that covered the surrounding land with ice, but it seemed like a skill that was quite suitable for Ran, who had good mobility.
“Which card did you choose?”
“Slot extension ticket.”
“Huh.”
Ran didn’t respond.
It must have been because Taeyang had so many cards.
Rather, it was in the chat window that the reaction was intense.
-this is right?
-I don’t know.
-Yoon Taeyang Special) Is this correct? did this happen? Isn’t this crazy? → All right. done I do not die.
-ㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ Sunjal egg.
– Add one. kill this? → kill.
– Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Belial asked.
“Then would you like to enter the stage right away?”
“Is that so?”
At that time, Hyun-hye came to me quietly.
-Taeyang, wouldn’t it be nice to take a look at the store?
“Oh right.”
The sun, which was about to move without thinking, stopped.
shop.
If you have more than 100 gold, you can see 3 cards in each shelter.
It was a really dire probability to find a card with a rare grade or higher in the store, but
‘because there is no loss.’
At the request of the sun, Belial obediently went in to get the card.
Taeyang was half convinced as Belial returned with an expression that showed no sign of annoyance or annoyance.
‘This must be a dummy.’
It was clear that the air waves I felt belonged to the demon king, but the actions I took were very uncharacteristic of the demon king.
This is rather an NPC placed for the player.
Soon Belial laid out three cards in front of the sun.
-Cradle of Wisdom: Intelligence +1
-Guardian’s Handkerchief: Agility +1
-Pandemonium Soldier’s Girdle: Strength +1
-Hmm. As expected.
Hyeon-hye’s words were literally the store as expected.
I didn’t expect anything.
“What’s over there?”
Ran answered Taeyang’s question in a calm voice.
“1 strength, 1 sword strength, 1 leggings, 1 agility, shoes.”
Same thing over there.
-Wow, the store cards look like garbage.
– The odds are extremely bad. You have to go beyond the 15th floor to get a good grade.
-The first shelter perk was a real hit.
-Actually, opening a card shop under the 15th floor is not very common unless it’s Yoon Taeyang. Haha
-ㅇㅇ Someone collected 100 gold or 200 gold from the 15th floor onwards. lol.

“Finally, we are entering the stage.”
Belial’s languid voice echoed in the room.
Sun’s prediction was correct.
Belial guarding the tavern was a doll created by the ‘real’ Belial supplying magical power.
The ‘real’ Belial was observing the players on the 7th to 9th floors in her room.
To be more precise, she was observing the sun.
“Saint Apocalypse. It is a stage where you have to survive against the fallen angel army for 12 hours.”
The man sitting across from me murmured.
“In Andromalius-sama’s evaluation, I heard that he showed more skills in the boss raid format than in the battle royale. I don’t know again in this survival genre.”
“oh. You said that the skills you showed in the battle royale were less revealed?”
smart smart
“Did anyone else come?”
“Iknow, right. You were the only demon lord who gave me words. There are many customers today.”
Belial got up to take care of the guest.
Another man sitting across from me grumbled.
“It’s only a stage on the 7th floor, so why are we gathering like this because there’s something to see?”
Belial opened the door.
In front of her stood a tall man wearing a fedora.
The book with the red jewel in her right hand was impressive.
“Oh, Mr. Dantalian?”
“haha. hello. This is the first time since I ran into Mr. Andromalius last time, right?”
“What are you doing here?”
“What do you think? I came to see how the stage is going. Would it be okay?”
Belial slightly raised her eyebrows.
“Is it because of player Yoon Taeyang?”
Dantalian laughed.
“I think I will have entered the 7th floor stage soon. He’s the person I’m keeping a close eye on these days.”
“Come on in.”
“thank you.”
Dantalian took off his fedora and entered her room.
“By the way, it’s the 7th floor. Is it a floor that rewards your category?”
“yes.”
“It will be fun. Which card did he choose?”
“What do you think you would have chosen?”
Belial asked seductively.
Dantalian smiled.
“hmm. Let me guess. Would you like to make a bet?”
“Is there anything you want to bring back that you picked up last time?”
“Nothing like that, but in terms of motivation?”
Belial shrugged.
Dantalian licked his lips slightly.
Perhaps it was because of the previous burn, but there was no sign of him coming over.
“Then what? Shall we make a simple prediction?”
Dantalian picked up the category.
After looking through the categories for a while, Dantalian immediately replied.
“Nothing. choose right away Slot Expansion Ticket.”
“Slot extension? Won’t you change?”
“It’s not even a bet. what.”
Just then, a thick male voice came from inside.
“Dantalian. Isn’t the rumor that you’ve been robbing demon lords’ pockets these days?”
“Are there any guests inside?”
Belial lightly nodded in affirmation at Dantalian’s question.
It was very unexpected.
The demon lords wanted a stimulating scene, and such a scene was on the 15th floor, the middle floor rather than the lower floor. And it was directed much more on high floors above the 36th floor.
The scenes on the lower floors were not without great demand, of course, but most of them were leisurely enjoying the recorded footage.
So, it was not uncommon for the demon king to personally move to watch the live broadcast.
There were two more Demon Kings in the room.
It seems like a small number to be surprised by two people, but it’s a lot for just watching the 7th floor stage.
“I heard that you are famous. It’s a sprout that will come up on my floor soon, so I came to see it.”
“Oh Cimmeries. It is you.”
The 66th rank demon king. Cimmeries.
He was an impressive black man with a solid body.
The straight and upright posture and the unique firm energy reminded me of a soldier with a strong military discipline.
He was also the Demon King in charge of the stages on the 10th to 12th floors.
“What am I When this guy came, I followed him.”
Following Cimmeries, another man stood up and asked Dantalian to shake hands.
Chimeries wasn’t even small, but when the man next to him stood up, his presence was relatively dead.
“Oh Ballack. It’s been a while.”
“okay. I am not happy.”
Instead of a handshake, the giant hand tapped Dantalian’s hand.
The 62nd rank demon king, Balak the Dragon King.
He is the dragon lord who takes charge of the stages of the 16th to 18th floors and bows down to all the dragons living in the underworld.
If Cimmeries reminded me of a soldier, Balak reminded me of a tyrant.
To be precise, it’s like a war-mad tyrant.
The atmosphere and actual disposition were not different.
Balak was open to his feelings, quick-tempered and ferocious, and was always a noisy figure.
“Kuhm.”
Ballack didn’t like Dantalian, who was always spinning around and couldn’t tell what he was thinking.
Of course, Dantalian was also smiling on the outside, but he didn’t particularly like Balack.
After greeting, the four demon kings sat down on chairs.
Belial beckoned, and a large image projected in front of them.
“what. Have you already started?”
“It’s been a while since I started ballacking. Didn’t you already enter the stage when Mr. Dantalian knocked?”
The 7th floor stage, Saint Apocalypse, was about surviving an army of fallen angels that invaded the city.
Balak, who grasped the origins of the stage, muttered in a low voice.
“You use it well. Is it Godom?”
“that’s right.”
Belial affirmed.
The Saint Apocalypse stage was inspired by an incident in which a city on the edge of the Pandemonium was invaded by angels and destroyed.
This was an actual event in the demon realm.
“Didn’t a corps commander-level fallen angel come in?”
“I remember that too.”
Belial puffed out her chest and said confidently.
“I put a lot of effort into implementing it. 3 centuries ago, 6 souls of 7th circle mages were burned to prove the power of a fallen angel of the rank of a legionnaire?”
“Burning six souls on one stage? You’re crazy.”
“These days, demon kings and demons are tricky. It’s not uncommon for people to be bitten for nothing. I also had a hard time with a claim coming in a while ago.”
“It was a very difficult decision. There must be a lot of people who argue and raise more when it comes to history like this.”
Even while the demon kings were chatting, Taeyang and Ran performed the stage.
In the video, Taeyang quickly grasped his surroundings and started a guerrilla war against the Fallen Angel Corps by walking around with Ran.
Seeing the movement of the sun, Cimmeries’ eyes twinkled.
“surely. I think I know why the other demon lords admired it. The battle sense is sharp. That player.”
Balak had a grumpy face.
“I don’t know. Aren’t the specs too exaggerated compared to the floor?”
“That, too, is his ability.”
“Right. Can you show your competitiveness even if you go upstairs? I mean, I don’t know.”
Dantalian tapped his knee.
“A corps commander-level fallen angel. Can Taeyang Yoon defeat even a fallen angel with a corps commander level?”
Balak laughed at Dantalian’s words.
“No. It is said that his specs are excessive on the 7th floor, but that is all. Even though it was 3 centuries ago, if you are a fallen angel at the level of a corps commander, your specs are enough to be used on my stage.”
Cimmeries nodded.
“Boss on the 18th floor. It’s an apt metaphor. He has the senses, but he doesn’t seem to be able to overcome his weight class.”
“I agree.”
Belial also agreed with Cimmeries’ opinion.
Dantalian’s eyes twinkled at this and asked again.
“Would you like to bet?”
