– Volume 21, Chapter 2
502. Demons on the 93rd floor (1)
93rd floor.
It was now in the mid-90s. Taesan headed for the stairs.
At that moment, the space opened up.
Goddess Barbabambana was not. It was a different existence.
Wow!
As the space shakes, the being on the other side returns to the labyrinth.
He was a shop owner.
His face was as red as a goblin.
His thick beard trembled and his fists were clenched tightly.
The only visible emotion is anger.
“Why are you like that?”
Taesan said expressionlessly. The shop owner widened his eyes. I ran towards Taesan.
Warak.
He grabbed Taesan by the collar.
“What happened!”
“Even if you suddenly say that.”
“why! why!”
The shopkeeper shouted with a distorted face.
“Why are my people serving you!”
Taesan realized why the shop owner was angry. Taesan said calmly while being grabbed by the collar.
“In the process of clearing the quest, I got something extra to gain. That was what people believed in.”
“You bastard!”
The hand holding the collar is even more powerful. The shop owner’s face is distorted to the point where it can no longer be contorted.
“dare! Dare to seduce my people! I can’t do this! They are my people!”
“Even if you say so.”
I couldn’t do anything about the faith I had already acquired.
Taesan grabbed the hand holding the collar. For a moment, the store owner shuddered and opened the distance with a bang.
Taesan lightly tidied up his clothes
.
“I am embarrassed that you suddenly acted like this after I made your wish come true.”
What the shop owner wanted was the death of the transcendent.
Anything else was not a condition of the quest.
Taishan killed the Transcendentalist. He completely cleared the quest he wanted, but now he suddenly complains. Taishan couldn’t understand the shopkeeper.
“Don’t be ridiculous! They
must serve me! Me, the true king, no one else!”
“Then go and erase my faith and overwrite yours. Until then, I will not be involved.”
“this person…!”
The shop owner trembles.
At that moment, the floor collapses again and Barbababamba appears.
[An outsider has entered.]
The voice was cold and relentless.
A mechanical voice different from usual.
The tone was similar to when Taesan first met Barbabamba.
[You were in charge of the shop in the labyrinth for your wish, and now that wish has come true. The relationship between you and Labyrinth is over.]
“But!”
[The condition of the quest is the death of the transcendent. If you had hoped for faith, you would have had to weigh it with that other hope. But you didn’t tell me about it when you entered the labyrinth.]
Taesan realized what Barbaba Bamba’s tone was.
It was the attitude of dealing with an intruder who had nothing to do with oneself who was really dealing with an outsider.
[As your wish comes true, the labyrinth has nothing to do with you. Originally, the intruder should be eliminated right away… but there is one last note. don’t let me watch Go away.]
Kwakdeuk.
The power of Barbaba Bamba was manifested.
The shop owner is forcibly evicted. The shop owner tried to spit out something, but all of it was buried under the authority and disappeared.
The shop owner was kicked out of the labyrinth just like that.
[finished. can’t come back here anymore As long as you don’t wish for a new wish.]
“You’re calm.”
[This time, it’s an obvious problem on the other side. If you hoped for faith, you should have put that in your hope in the first place. Even the person himself thought that it was impossible, giving up, but then going wild because he saw potential, it’s hard for me to treat him like that.] [
It doesn’t matter. In the first place, that guy doesn’t see
us as anything more than a tool.]
The ghost said nonchalantly. Come to think of it, the ghost always hated the shopkeeper.
[Taesan. The reason he showed favor to you was because you were a tool to fulfill his wishes, not because he saw someone like you.]
[It’s over anyway. There is nothing to encounter unless you head there yourself.]
It was as Barbaba Bamba said. The quest is already over.
Taesan
had no intention of getting involved any further. He’s obviously done everything he’s supposed to do.
[If the wish is fulfilled, the contract is over. After that, it’s at the mercy of wizards and contractors. you have to keep that in mind The same goes for you.]
Barbaba looked up into the air.
[What you want is a clue to becoming a transcendent. That’s all. If you’re hoping for more than that and want to do something, I’ll intervene.]
[I know, so you don’t have to worry too much.]
A beautiful voice rings out. It was a green witch.
[I have no intention of asking for more.]
[This is a warning just in case. Well, if it were you, you wouldn’t have to worry about that.]
Taesan also turned her gaze to where Barbabamba was looking.
The energy of the green witch was being felt there.
“Long time no see.”
[yes. I saw something quite interesting.]
The green witch’s attitude toward Mount Tai
was very polite. The tone of voice also changed to respect.
“Are you respectful?”
[Because you have reached a level of greatness that I could not reach. It’s only natural to treat them appropriately.]
“You don’t have to.”
[No.]
But the green witch said firmly.
[It can’t be. Those who have risen to the top deserve to be treated accordingly. Taesan-nim also speaks flatly to me
.]
“If that’s the case…
Taesan didn’t dwell on his attitude. He treated me with the same attitude as when I first met him. So I didn’t pay much attention to the store owner’s flat words.
However, if the other person said that, there was no reason not to change.
“Did you find a way?”
The green witch’s wish is to find a clue to becoming a true transcendentalist.
With the contract with Taesan, she must have seen a lot, but the green
witch shook her head.
[Not yet… I don’t know. It cannot be reached by faith, so it gathers fear and fear. I think there is a possibility, but it got stuck on the other side of my mind.]
“It’s vague.”
No one really knew if it could be reached that way.
[Did you say Remidaos? He is much stronger than me. Even though he was defeated by Taesan-sama, there would be no one to stand against in the universe except for a very few.] Even
such a person could not reach the stage that the green witch wanted in the end.
The green witch realized again what she wanted.
“Think slowly. My contract with you still remains.”
[Thank you.]
The green witch thanked her briefly and left.
The final cleanup is indeed complete. Taesan went down the stairs. There was no shopkeeper waiting for him all the time.
Only shops without owners were visible.
“Is it Self from now on?”
It seemed that he could buy the equipment he wanted if the price was right. It didn’t mean much.
[Starting the 93rd floor quest.]
[Clear the conditions of the 93rd floor.]
[Reward: A fragment of light dyed black.]
[Secret reward: ???]
I couldn’t figure out what the conditions for clearing were in the description.
It must mean listening directly to those who are waiting.
Taesan opened the door. The person waiting there greeted Taesan.
[Did you come?]
[You drank. I met Lucifer.]
Black hair flowing down to my feet.
Cat-like sharp eyes.
A long black dress.
The demon looked the same as when we first met.
However, the attitude towards Taesan was definitely different. The eyes that at first seemed to test Taesan had now changed to a light of friendship and liking.
Looking at Mount Tai, she was amazed.
[It has reached a stable level. What kind of divinity is there? I can’t easily subdue him either.]
“That’s too much praise.”
[no. Really. I don’t know if it’s a general level, but if you’re a heterogeneous person, you can endure it enough. you’ve gotten a lot stronger And… it seems that he realized something.]
Taesan noticed what was inside him.
The drinker also seemed to have figured it out.
Taesan asked the demon.
“Is the 93rd floor a demon-sama’s quest
?”
[No.]
The demon shook his head and took a step back.
[I want to, but I can’t. It’s a different guy this time.]
[It’s me.]
Kwajijik.
Space is broken and crushed. A muscular man makes an appearance.
[A long time. A mixed entity.]
With huge horns and reptilian red pupils. And
black aura flowing from the whole body.
Baal grinned.
[You are the devil. I encountered Baal.]
[This quest is carried out under my leadership. The Demon God is a simple link.]
[Thinking about it again, I don’t like it.]
[Isn’t the story already over? drank. It is necessary. either to him or to us. and to you If it’s too late, it’ll get in trouble.]
[I accepted it because I knew it.]
[That’s fortunate. Then let me take care of your dear one for a while.]
Baal smiled and raised a finger. Black energy enveloped Taesan.
[Mixed existence. Follow me.]
Taesan did not resist the energy. The body left the labyrinth and moved to another place.
[I’ll warn you once again.]
I heard a faint voice.
[You and I definitely signed a contract. But now they
are nothing more than shattered shackles that have been corroded. If you play around with him…]
[I have no intention of doing that now. You must be very worried too.]
Baal replied leisurely.
voice is muffled Taesan moved to a space where there was only darkness.
[This is probably the second time.]
An area where there is only darkness, but darkness plays the role of light.
It was the realm of Baal.
Baal sat down in a chair made of darkness.
[I heard the story. Essential. The old man is back. In the process, we solved the problem of Ouroboros and dealt with the worthless fragments.]
“You know.”
[I have information. I came up there and this is it.]
Baal sees Mount Tae.
A contemplative gaze reads him.
[…You’ve gotten stronger. And it was getting closer. But I still don’t know which way it will turn.]
“Why did you call me
?”
Taishan’s eyes sank.
“What do you know about me?”
his secret.
what’s inside him.
Where did he come from and how was he mixed?
Baal knew from the beginning that Taesan himself was only beginning to know little by little.
[The reason I called you is not so great. Right now.]
Baal turned around with a small laugh.
[You have been running very hard. I haven’t taken a proper rest yet.]
“That’s right.”
Taesan did not deny it. He became strong as a monster. But in the meantime, I never really took a break. In the first place, mental fatigue was also resolved by leveling up, so there was no need to take a break.
[So why don’t you take a break once in a while?]
“If it’s a break.”
[The demons have regular meetings hosted by me. All demons with domains gather there. And you also have a foot in the devil.]
Taesan made the realm of Belial her own. He had a demon realm. As Baal said, the devil had one leg over his existence.
[How about it. Do you want to participate in our gathering?]
Level up with skills.
