Shincon’s One Coin Clear - Chapter 176

Episode 176. Demon Realm Trial (4)

“… … What’s up, Dantalian.”

I obviously rejected Barbatos’ offer to get away from Dantalian.

Dantalian came to Purkas, who decided to become an isolated island.

“Did I have more beans to eat?”

“It’s Congo. Aren’t the language choices too revealing?”

“It’s not a word.”

“That’s what it is, though.”

Dantalian smiled and looked at Purkas.

Of course, a fox like Furkas would be used to hiding his emotions, but the fact that he didn’t show hostility on the surface seemed enough room for a conversation.

“I don’t want to mix things up at length. How about starting with business?”

“This is disappointing. I’m here to make you a very good offer.”

“Listen.”

displeased tone.

A positive answer that didn’t suit him.

I decided to take the damage.

I was willing to take a handful of damage more.

… … If it ends perfectly.

In a plain, Dantalian voice, he presented his business.

“I will provide player Taeyang Yoon to your dimension invasion for free.”

“… … What do you mean?”

“You don’t have to twist. haha. Of course, I know it’s hard not to take my word for it, but it really is.”

“free. Are you offering Taeyang Yoon to help me invade my dimension without expecting anything in return?”

“yes. The power you mined is entirely yours. Didn’t the Chimera, the tool used for the dimension invasion on this floor, also break and lose your face? If player Taeyang Yoon puts himself in and does at least a part of Chimera’s work, some of the silliness will be filled, and you will save face to some extent in the sense that I helped you.”

Purkas brushed his beard and quickly shook his head.

Dantalian gains.

The first thing that comes to mind is Yoon Taeyang’s growth.

The demon king makes the dimensional labyrinth extremely difficult, but the highest difficulty level that can be created for each floor is fixed.

Clearing stages below the 36th floor was no longer a meaningful experience for Taeyang, who came up with only the best rewards available for each floor.

‘The intention is to not stop the growth of the sun by participating in power mining that is obviously more difficult than the same layer.’

Furkas looked at the sun standing behind Dantalian with his arms crossed.

As Dantalian continued to speak, the first hypothesis he thought of seemed to fit.

“If you accept this offer, you will have to file a complaint with Baal and the Steering Committee. Player Taeyang Yoon, if you treat the staged dimension as one floor and clear it, you will be able to participate in mining for a total of six dimensions, from the 30th floor to the 35th floor.”

“In the dimensional labyrinth system, there will be no exceptions to the problem of involving players in climbing floors.”

“yes. doesn’t exist. Not yet. If you don’t have it, why don’t you make it? This time, more weight will be placed on repairing the relationship between you and me than climbing the player’s floor.”

No matter how heavy the laws related to players are, they are light compared to the interests of the two demon lords.

To put it more precisely, the weight of a mortal is meaningless in front of a transcendent.

A wrinkle formed on Purkas’ forehead.

I understood Dantalian’s business.

But there was a part that couldn’t be explained by that.

And if he did not understand Dantalian’s intentions, Purkas could not accept Dantalian’s business.

Because there may be greater damage from there.

‘Not enough.’

Yoon Tae-yang’s growth.

Of course, it’s a good thing from Dantalian’s point of view, who supports him.

However, the return to Purkas is too great for the match made for that one thing.

And you don’t get much for what you put in.

With enough effort to meet Baal and the Steering Committee and convince them, you can do a few more things.

Of course, other than that, Dantalian has a few more things to take.

Just a few minutes ago, Barbatos offered Furkas a check on Dantalian.

It was openly known that Purkas and Dantalian had a bad relationship, but this was the first time they had such a sharp confrontation.

From Dantalian’s point of view, it could have been that he made this suggestion to stop Furkas from stepping on it.

‘But wouldn’t Dantalian know my heart?’

Considering the way he showed, that’s not the case.

Judging from his actions, Dantalian clearly read Purkas’s heart and worked.

“… … Convincing Baal won’t be difficult. Agares is a difficult opponent, but he is also not a difficult opponent. As long as the consent of the 1st rank demon king and the 2nd rank demon king is obtained, after that… … .”

Then there is only one answer.

“Isn’t the Dantalian situation worse than expected?”

pop.

Dantalian’s mouth closed at Purkas’s words.

“The ability to make a plate. reading ability. You have clearly verified this opportunity.”

“… … .”

“You dare to come to me and try to do business at a loss. Then the story is obvious.”

Simple.

I’m just trying to use an expedient way because going up causes more damage.

And that possibility.

“Did Savnak and Astaroth fall for Barbatos’ tongue? No, not yet.”

Barbatos reached out to Furkas about five minutes ago to work with him.

The failure of this job must have been unexpected to Barbatos as well as to Furkas.

Of course, it was right to propose to nearby Purkas first and then go to them.

If so, Barbatos has not yet been contacted, or has only now been contacted.

On the other hand, Dantalian, who designed this project, had a lot of time.

“I gave up even though I had a lot of time. You don’t have the confidence to offer better conditions than Barbatos.”

The 43rd Rank Demon King Savnak.

The 29th rank demon lord, Astaroth.

He is the Demon King who manages the 31st to 33rd floors and the 34th to 36th floors respectively.

“but. Savnak is naive, but he owes Barbatos. The story of her white horse is famous. Astaroth is… smart. Enough to not be seduced by your words.”

“She’s more tricky than smart.”

Astaroth’s disposition is vicious.

In some ways, it is all the more so because there is even a part that is detached from matter.

“Aren’t you a person who prefers the loss of others to his own gain?”

She is the demon king who will give Barbatos strength just because Dantalian is a demon king famous for ‘not taking damage’.

I just looked at Dantalian with calm eyes.

Dantalian shrugged.

“Honestly, it’s not that I don’t have the confidence to convince you.”

“Then you don’t mind if I refuse?”

“but.”

Dantalian looked at Purkas.

The eyes are like snakes.

“Things went awry and Barbatos would have come looking for you. I want you to pay for what you did. And you would have said no. The reason is that he didn’t want to be involved with me. Because I thought that even if I decorated it as meticulously as this time, I might lose money.”

Dantalian asserted.

A simple prediction that can be inferred from Purkas’ temper.

But it was also true.

“Then you must have thought again the next time you met me. Let’s do a little more damage.”

That too was true.

“But you must have thought of it at the same time. damage suffered in the past. damage now. and future losses.”

“… … .”

“You will try to pay it back someday. It’s obvious. I’ll wait until I forget about this. You’re not going to do anything in my field of vision. why? If you don’t, you’ll suffer more damage.”

… … This too is true.

Is this an optimistic assertion?

Is it a passing over that he predicted after seeing the situation that was flowing in a reasonable way?

Purkas’s insight exclaimed that it was neither.

‘then.’

Purkas felt goosebumps rising up his spine.

Dantalian, who had approached Purkas before he knew it, muttered in a low voice.

“That is annoying. So now I’m trying to adjust the profit and loss calculation. one hundred years. thousand years. It’s a long time to care. Aren’t you going to get tired of each other?”

Purkas did not answer.

“Do you have any reason to say no? If you look at it rationally, it must be the picture closest to the ideal. for you.”

It’s true.

“under.”

Dantalian let out a light sigh and twisted his lips.

“The reason you rejected Barbatos’ offer.”

Reasonably realizing that it would be a loss, Furkas rejected Barbatos’ offer.

Dantalian was pinching it.

“… … .”

Tsk.

Dantalian lightly clicked his tongue and moved on.

“If you refuse… … .”

“End with this. I hope there are no other additional deals.”

Purkas muttered to Dantalian’s back as he walked away.

“No, it shouldn’t be.”

Dantalian felt the materialization of ‘death’ felt behind his back.

The manifestation of Purkas’ power killing method.

If you fight, you can’t guarantee victory 100%.

Dantalian, then, had no intention of fighting.

Like Purkas, Dantalian was not a born warrior.

Just a slightly better copycat.

“There is no next.”

Dantalian laughed.

***

After returning to the shelter, Taeyang explained the situation to the party.

Somehow, he got caught up in Dantalian’s affairs.

That’s why I had to perform a series of dimension invasion stages that were much more difficult than the other stages.

The reason Dantalian didn’t stop was because Taeyang agreed with Dantalian’s intentions.

The sun has become too strong compared to the east layer, and it is difficult to promote growth before the 36th floor.

Rather than stopping growth, it is the right decision to increase the difficulty.

“You know, it will be difficult. It’s because of me that I had to go down a difficult path. If there are people who don’t want to go… … .”

“Ah, that’s it.”

Ran interrupted Taeyang with an annoyed face.

“The answer is already decided, so do you really need to ask?”

Hoo-wook.

Salomon exhaled smoke and shook his head.

“It is an expression of our willingness to respect our wishes. Absolutely important.”

“Are you always obsessed with useless formalities?”

“Because the human mind has no form, we need a standard to measure it. And that standard is what we call form. Do you think the formal part is useless?”

“Ugh. I mean.”

Leaving the two quarreling behind, Messiah asked.

“How did you manage to get your opinion through among the demon lords?”

“uh. what.”

In the original story, it was decided that only Taeyang would go through the Dimensional Invasion stage, but Taeyang strongly insisted that Ran and Salomon Messiah Party be included.

This is because there are clearly limits to what the sun can do alone.

It seemed reckless that the player only voiced his voice in the deal between the demon lords, but in the end it was accepted.

This is because Taeyang’s successful stage clearing was the result of matching the interests of Dantalian and Purkas.

As Dantalian said, as long as the understanding of the demon lords matched, the treatment of the players changed very easily.

After hearing the story, Ran murmured.

“Honestly, if the demon kings want it, can’t they just let them graduate from the dimensional labyrinth?”

“Graduation is difficult, but they say they can send you to the 71st floor.”

“Oh, can you let me go?”

The sun shrugged.

“Uh. However, with the current level of specs, we will die with a very high probability.”

Salomon shook his head.

“The top is the 72nd floor, but I can only send you up to the 71st floor.”

“I asked that too, but even if you don’t hear the answer, you know?”

“I told you to go up if you’re curious.”

Taeyang formally smiled and inspected the equipment.

The equipment that comes from the card doesn’t really need to be managed, but the rest of the items didn’t.

After reading Taeyang’s expression, Ran asked.

“Why are you in a hurry again?”

“what.”

“Looking at it, I’m eager to go up again quickly.”

“ah.”

The sun smiled awkwardly.

“For what?”
