Episode 174. Demon Realm Trial (2)
‘I knew that he was collaborating with Barbatos behind the scenes, but I thought he would recruit three more demon lords including Agares.’
To be honest, even Dantalian did not anticipate the situation in which half of the trial had already passed since the beginning.
The Demon King was a being who extremely disliked listening to other people’s orders.
In the first place, all beings who reached the level of transcendence in one field had no choice but to do so.
Pride and self-esteem worthy of the state were natural.
According to Dantalian’s calculations, the current situation, a collaboration between Furkas and Barbatos, was a situation where the navel was bigger than the belly.
‘In order to move a single demon lord like this, on average, it takes about 2 powers worth.’
It’s not exactly quantified, but it’s usually the case in Dantalian’s experience.
If you consider that Dantalian is a very resourceful demon king, you might have heard more.
This meant that Purkas and Barbatos were trading at least 8 Powers or something comparable in order to split only 5 Powers.
Dantalian looked at Barbatos with a new face.
Barbatos was a demon king who had no interest in the lower level of the dimensional labyrinth.
This is especially true for humans.
In fact, its movement was barely observed.
A couple of times found on the floor of Shax was definitely the end.
‘You have the same high regard for player Yun Taeyang as I do. No, more precisely, I am wary of my evaluation.’
The gazes of Barbatos and Dantalian, who were looking down from the jury seat, met.
Dantalian grinned.
Barbatos.
A man who is said to be the 8th rank demon king and the most competent hunter in all dimensions.
At the same time, he was also the demon king who bet on the orcs in the battle between the orcs, elves and humans on the top floor of the dimensional labyrinth.
It seemed that the hunter’s intuition was convinced after seeing Dantalian’s movements.
That Taeyang Yoon is a talented person who can reverse the aspects of competition among the top class.
“Barbatos, if you’re going to prepare, why don’t you take one more?”
Yeah, it wouldn’t have changed anything.
Baal opened his mouth.
“Testify.”
Dantalian raised his hand.
“We demand that the court ‘force the truth’ on the witnesses.”
truth coercion.
An attribute used when demanding the perfect truth in the Demon Realm Court.
The most dangerous weapon that strikes the soul if you tell a lie.
Baal looked at Purkas.
Purkas nodded.
“I allow it.”
Defendant Dantalian’s request and plaintiff Purkas’ permission.
And the permission of Baal, the judge, was dropped.
In response to Baal’s command, the Court’s ‘enforcement of truth’ trait engulfed the sun.
Dantalian suppressed the corner of his mouth that was about to rise.
The reason why he did not attack Purkas and only defended him in the story.
Because I was drawing this picture in the first place.
Dantalian doesn’t play losing games.
The way to win was also thought out from the beginning.
To ‘lie’ to the ‘forced truth’ trait.
If you get hit with the most primitive and powerful punishment given by the court, if you get judged first.
The verdicts of judges and juries become meaningless.
Double jeopardy (一事不再理).
A case in which a final judgment has occurred cannot be tried again.
Therefore, you cannot ask for the punishment again for the crime for which you have paid the penalty.
Dantalian smiled broadly.
“Player Yun Taeyang. You can testify.”
The sun looked at Dantalian.
“The only way out of this situation is your testimony.”
Dantalian has been through a lot of verification by observing the sun.
Competitiveness in confrontation with Talent Mental Power Demon King.
Taeyang exceeded the standards set by Dantalian in all of those tests.
So Dantalian reached out to the sun and caught him.
But Dantalian still doubted the sun.
No matter how talented a prospect is, there are times when it doesn’t grow as expected.
even a lot
“... ... .”
The jurors fell silent for a moment.
“That Yoon Taeyang.”
pounding.
The two dragon hearts in the heart of the sun began to pulsate violently.
“Before entering the 28th floor of Purkas, I contacted the ‘Oracle’ sent by the Demon King Dantalian.”
Kwalung.
At the same time as they concluded their words, the lightning of ‘Forcing the Truth’ struck the sun.
“It is true.”
Baal looked down at the sun, narrowing his eyes.
The sun, struck by lightning, had not a single strand of hair damaged and its eyes were straight.
No wonder.
In the first place, the lightning strikes not the body of the sun, but the soul spirit.
The part to focus on is the pupil.
It didn’t shake at all.
It would be impossible if you were struck by lightning.
But what Baal was observing was something else.
That which boils within the sun.
“That... ... .”
Barbatos opened his mouth.
“Since the witness admitted contact with Dantalian... ... .”
“no.”
The sun cut off Barbatos.
“Dantalian is the power of Purkas in the oracle. We never talked about the demon king’s dimensional invasion. In other words, Purkas drove Dantalian out based on unreasonable grounds.”
The words of the sun that entered after interrupting Barbatos.
At the same time, the Court’s ‘forced truth’ trait once again struck lightning.
flash
With the flickering light in front of his eyes, the sun gnashed his teeth.
dragon blood.
Dragon blood.
In fact, it is said to be the most valuable body part of the dragon’s body, along with the heart, recognized by the wizard Salomon, who has resided in the dimension where the dragon’s data can be obtained.
‘I don’t know if it’s right to describe this as a body part.’
Salomon said in the past that he had discovered a new property of dragon blood.
When you concentrate more than a certain amount of mana in your blood, it vaporizes and appears as a ‘mental system magic absolute resistance’ characteristic.
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Blood rushed through his veins and he felt indescribable pain.
The pain that started in the head of the heart quickly spread throughout the upper body and covered the lower body.
My teeth gnashed without my knowledge, and at the same time, a pure white light covered the sun.
The lightning, involving 72 demon kings, groped his body to injure the soul of the sun who told lies.
about 3 seconds.
An obviously long time different from the one before.
The destructive power, weakened by the sun’s blow, could not penetrate Balak’s immune system.
‘Are you saying I’ve seen it this far?’
Creepy goose bumps ran up my spine.
Aside from the pain, it felt like a chill in one side of my chest.
Before entering the 28th floor, the translucent Dantalian contacted the sun through the oracle, Dantalian had already seen this situation.
Dantalian drew a picture called ‘Pandemonium Trial’ using the characteristics of dragon blood that the sun could not find any use for, the personality of Purkas, and the containment of Barbatos.
After drawing a perfect sketch of victory, he even tested the sun once again by entrusting the final completion of the drawing to the sun’s fingertips.
In other words, I played with it perfectly.
Sun and Furkas Barbatos.
Furthermore, it is all of the ten demon kings including Baal and Agares who participated in the trial in the demon realm.
But is this really the end?
Didn’t you think about the number of cases in which the sun failed?
Did Dantalian see the future as far as the Pandemonium Trial?
If not.
‘How far did you look?’
The sun turned and looked at Dantalian.
The demon king who connected the earth to the abyss called the dimensional labyrinth.
I’m on the same boat now, but someday I’ll have to break it down.
Dantalian.
Beyond the white flickering lightning, Dantalian was also smiling white.
