Chapter 261
Episode 261. Return (1)
Yuri Maximov exhaled heavily.
“ha.”
Arms and legs trembled uncontrollably.
She desperately opened her eyes.
It is because of blurred vision.
Shaking her head for a moment, she opened her eyes again.
“ah.”
Yuri Maximoff’s field of vision, swaying hazy, was colored with colorful and beautiful light.
“This… … .”
An amusement park that was like my parents when I was young.
The finale at the amusement park, which was quiet without a single customer, was always a fireworks display.
The fireworks bursting out in all directions left her memories as a scene from a fairy tale.
Such a scene that I could only see in my dreams very rarely since childhood.
Did Yuri Maximov’s body, which had reached its limit, fall asleep?
So are you dreaming?
The strength in his hands was released.
The holy sword, which she had been holding tightly to live, slipped out of her hand in vain.
“Yuri-.”
A woman’s voice stretched out.
Memories resembling fairy tales she read as a child came to her.
Static electricity crackling with cold and heat.
Was the fantasy that remained in her memories so hot, cold, and stinging?
Yuri Maximov laughed.
There were no regrets.
she did her best
I thought that if I could decorate the end of my life in this way, it wouldn’t be bad as it is.
‘I’m sorry mom.’
I made a promise to myself, but I couldn’t keep it.
Clink.
The magic shattered with the sound of glass breaking.
Colorful shards were embedded in her body like broken glass.
“uh?”
Yuri Maximoff looked at me involuntarily.
I was hit directly by magic, but there was no pain at all.
“what… … ?”
She raised her head.
there was nothing.
Hundreds of spells that were attacking her.
And the alter egos of Dantalian who swarmed the streets.
***
After killing Dantalian, Taeyang met Byulrim.
There were no hugs or anything like that.
“Are you alive?”
“… … huh.”
“I’m glad.”
Check the face, make sure the limbs are attached well, and that’s it.
It was originally like that.
It will be like that in the future.
Although they dealt with the last stumbling block to return to their hometown, the integrated shelter had the atmosphere of a funeral home.
However, there was no time to care about the atmosphere or comfort the victim.
Taeyang fell into a deep sleep after renting the lower floor of the integrated shelter inn, which luckily remained intact.
-After sleeping for a week, we thought something was wrong with you.
“Did you sleep that much?”
– Oh really.
Balak and the rest of the party returned to the integrated shelter two weeks after the sun awoke.
The gate closed completely after the sun set, but it seemed that Dantalian had blocked all means of entry into the integrated shelter, so there was no other way than to waste time.
It was a much later return than promised, but Taeyang welcomed them without a word of complaint.
It was because Gremory couldn’t see where he had gone, and the sun didn’t have space-related powers, so he was confined to the room.
To be honest, I was worried because I thought I was living in a duck egg in the Nakdonggang River.
After the death of Dantalian, Balak and the dragon army completely occupied the dimensional labyrinth.
Most of the demon kings left the dimensional labyrinth.
In addition to that, there is neither Barbatos nor Dantalian.
In the dimensional labyrinth, there was no talent to match Balak and the dragon army.
It seemed that all the Elf and Orc faction players had either died or had been subjugated to the Dragon Legion.
If the sun hadn’t made a deal with Balak, the human camp players would have suffered the same fate.
Also, in the process of rearranging the dimensional labyrinth that was about to fall apart, Ballack moved the Endless Express stage from the 12th floor to the 71st floor.
It was a blunt consideration in the name of being easy to manage when you stick together.
In fact, it seemed that he had a bit of a psychological debt because he poisoned Taeyang with Dantalian.
Of course, Taeyang also kept his promise and handed over the divine dragon flower to Balak again.
The sun stretched as it walked outside the inn.
“It’s chacha.”
Wooddeuk.
Along with the stretching, the cool sound of bones rang in my ears.
Taeyang’s outfit was jeans and a black leather jacket.
Rather than a player in a dimensional labyrinth, the clothes that an ordinary Korean youth would wear.
“Well, even when I usually fight, I wear similar clothes.”
-What are you like?
“What is it?”
– Wearing it without much thought.
“I have no idea. I have my own philosophy too, right?”
As the sun frowned and looked up at the sky, Byeollim asked.
After all, normal pants and shirts, not the full plate mail I usually wear.
It was an outfit close to everyday wear on Earth.
“Are you Hyeon-hye?”
“ok.”
“he. I want to see you soon too.”
-I want to see Byeolrim too.
People gathered as the sun came out of the inn.
Ran and Salomon Yuri Maximoff.
Cain and Rabin.
Eom Yun-taek and the players of the Clan Flame.
Players who knew the sun and players who didn’t were all gathered and waiting for the sun.
It was because today was the day to climb the 72nd floor of the dimensional labyrinth.
Players murmured in front of the integrated shelter gate.
“at las… … .”
“Can you escape this fucking dimensional labyrinth?”
“shit. It’s boring, boring.”
“I don’t think it would be bad to live here.”
“I know. Tired, tired, but I haven’t seen a city in Eden better equipped than an integrated shelter.”
“I can’t go. All of my living is already here. I also made a family.”
“But how? Now, the integrated shelter is also the territory of the Yongin people. I have to go back.”
“Even those from the ecliptic said that here is better than the ecliptic.”
“nice. it’s a shame.”
The reaction of the players was perhaps natural.
It is also true that the integrated shelter is a megacity that can accommodate a population of 100 million.
In addition to that, dozens of cultures from the Eden Changchun district are harmonized, and the infrastructure is well-established due to the combination of magic and science.
In addition, even mortals were subject to the ‘mutually indestructible’ rule.
It has become a crime-free zone.
If you look at the name tag of the waiting area for the stage, the integrated shelter was surprisingly, no, openly a good place to live.
“It seems like I only went back and forth between the inn and the workshop while climbing the labyrinth.”
“You came to my house too.”
The sun nodded at Yuri Maximov’s words.
“Oh, that’s it too. I see. With Clan House… … I also went to the arena. Sniff. Still, I’m sorry. Shall we stay a little longer?”
Some of the players around him who had been listening to Taeyang’s self-talk looked at him in contemplation.
“ah. Joke joke.”
The sun smiled and waved her hand.
In fact, even if I wanted to stay longer, I couldn’t.
Ballack said that there are not one or two Yongin who have already decided to move into the integrated shelter.
Taeyang’s expression suddenly darkened as he looked at the players.
Hu-wook-.
As usual, Salomon murmured, biting a cigar.
“I can’t imagine what kind of expression he would have made.”
“… … .”
“I don’t think I’ve ever seen him smile happily. is not it?”
A pleasant smile.
At that, the sun nodded.
“I know.”
Messiah didn’t laugh very well.
And the laughter I saw from time to time was always twisted somewhere.
There must have been something at the base of that laugh that Taeyang and the party couldn’t understand.
And that something is now forever unidentifiable.
momentary silence.
write-.
Salomon murmured, smoking a cigar.
“Thank you, Sun. If it weren’t for you, independence in our dimension would have been a difficult task to solve.”
“You did something. Of course I have to help.”
Ran asked.
“Are you not going up?”
“okay. I have to go back to my hometown.”
Salomon’s goal was to climb to the top and free the Endless Express stage from the dimensional labyrinth.
As a result, they achieved independence, so there was no reason to go outside.
“I intend to go back and work out a way to end the winter. Some ideas came to me while dealing with transcendentalists.”
“That is fortunate. You worked hard, Salomon.”
“you also.”
The sun shook hands with Salomon.
“… … You’ve worked hard, Salomon.”
“bye.”
Ran and Yuri Maximoff greeted each other, and Rabin and Cain Akdo also came up to say goodbye.
It didn’t take long.
It’s because there weren’t many players who had a relationship.
In fact, everyone in Taeyang’s party was like that.
Salomon grinned as he saw Taeyang and the others seeing them off.
“What are you looking at? Like I’ll never see you again.”
“Because I might never see you again.”
“Unexpectedly, I will be able to see you again soon.”
Salomon lightly shook his hands and disappeared into the gate.
Huung.
As I crossed the space, the unique vibrations soaked the skin of the players.
the sun murmured
“Lan Cain.”
“huh. I am ready.”
“I am ready too.”
The dimensional injection device Baal installed on the 72nd floor: Alpha is a magic circle that consumes one divinity to return a soul to its home dimension.
Spatial magic that does not require location coordinates and is activated by consuming mana latent in the dimension, not the caster’s mana.
Even though there is a limit on the number of times, it is a skill that can rise to the top of authority.
Taeyang and Lan Kain were scheduled to be the targets of the dimensional injection device, representing each dimension.
Suddenly, Cain bowed his head to the sun.
“sun. Thanks again.”
“Ah, what else?”
In order to operate the dimensional injection device on the 72nd floor, divinity was needed as a power source.
It means that two more divinities were needed in order for the three dimensions to return even after excluding the already loaded divinity of Lucifer.
The sun readily gave up the divinity of Barbatos and Dantalian.
“I’m giving it to you because it doesn’t mean anything to me. Don’t be burdened.”
divinity.
Simply put, it is a condensation of mana and authority, and philosophically, it is a proof of one existence.
Transcendentalists were able to become stronger by assimilating the powers condensed in the divinity of other transcendental beings.
But really the sun didn’t need divinity.
‘Because I came up and left.’
Did you say you can see as much as you know?
After stepping on the next stage, I realized that blindly gathering power is not particularly efficient.
The number of powers and realms are not proportional.
It was like that just by looking at the sun right now.
Dantalian, who gathered hundreds and thousands of powers, could not step on the next stage of transcendence, but Taeyang, who gathered around 10 or so powers, did not step on the next stage.
‘Of course, I only stepped on the threshold of the next level.’
Dantalian saw the state of the sun and expressed it as ‘completion’, but the sun knew it.
It was absurdly insufficient to describe it as complete.
The sun still has a long way to go.
And it didn’t take more power to climb that path.
As it was his first trip, it was difficult for Taeyang to tell which path was the right one, but he could tell which one was the wrong one.
“Even if you don’t need it, it’s something I long for. I will appreciate it even more if the situation suits you.”
“Hey.”
The sun waved its arms violently at Cain’s respectful gratitude.
Taeyang was rather worried about Cain.
“Would that be okay?”
Ordinary souls cannot bear the pressure that arises during the magic circle’s operation.
That’s why the demon kings needed a transcendental person in the first place.
But Cain did not transcend.
Although it reached the edge, it was not enough to say that it was transcended.
Knowing that fact, Cain nodded.
“I have already decided.”
In fact, the players from Eden were always in a difficult situation.
The dimensional labyrinth is now Balak’s territory.
In the yard where the integrated shelter had to be emptied for the Yongin people, it was no different from other areas.
Salomon’s Endless Express stage, which is now on the 71st floor, was also too difficult to accommodate all players from Eden.
If you live on the 72nd floor, there is a possibility that the magic circle will be damaged, so that is not acceptable.
Not just a few people, but as many as 100 million refugees are faced with a situation where they will lose their place and struggle.
Without Cain’s sacrifice, the players from Eden had nowhere to go.
“Someone has to do it. Even if it fails. If someone has to do it, wouldn’t it be right for me to do it?”
The sun shrugged.
I didn’t know the situation, so I had nothing to say.
Huung.
The gate started to vibrate.
Taeyang and Lancain stood in front of the gate.
“Then let’s go.”
