Shincon’s One Coin Clear

Episode 249. Barbatos (2)

Ran remembered the battle with Dantalian as the most horrifying experience.

At that time, it was honestly a miracle that Taeyang and his party survived against Dantalian and the demon lords.

Although the Messiah died, to be honest, I had to breathe a sigh of relief at the fact that only the Messiah had died.

However, I didn’t think it was terrible simply because it was difficult and painful.

Ran keenly felt helpless in battle.

After seeing the end of wind magic, he reached the stage of transcendence.

I have reached the pinnacle of a field where there is no place to rise further.

but still weak

It was a hard reality to accept.

Dantalian Baal Barbatos.

Ran couldn’t do anything in front of the demon lords who claimed to be angry.

Ran felt a burning thirst.

I felt a longing for greater power.

However, I couldn’t see a way to solve it.

The way transcendents become strong is different from mortals.

divine power.

Concepts close to the unknown to Ran, who has just become a transcendent.

Ran wanted to know about them.

It was for this reason that Ran visited Gremory at the integrated shelter before the start of the war.

“Is there any other way for Transcendentalists to become stronger besides gaining authority?”

“Of course there is. Isn’t player Yoon Taeyang doing it now? How to obtain and harmonize with the divinity of other transcendental beings.”

“… … Other than that?”

Gremory thought for a moment before answering.

“If you want another way… … There must be a principled way.”

“A principled method?”

“If you want to wield the sword better, shouldn’t you, of course, swing the sword at least once more?”

Gremory smiled.

“Transcendence is a phenomenon that occurs when a certain limit line is exceeded.”

“phenomenon… … .”

“yes. Transcending the status quo doesn’t turn an ordinary human into a dragon. A swordsman wields a sword after transcending, and a wizard still explores magic. Vampires still crave blood. The essence does not change.”

A swordsman can become stronger by training a sword, and a wizard can become stronger by exploring magic.

Gremory brought out a method that Ran implicitly excluded.

“Then why do transcendentalists gather divine power?”

“Because it’s faster to achieve something by stealing something from others than to realize it yourself.”

Ultimately, it is a matter of efficiency.

Transcendence means extreme.

Reaching the limit means, in other words, infinitely closer to the end.

What if ordinary people run 100m?

1 second 2 seconds. In severe cases, a time difference of more than 10 seconds is widened.

However, the story is different when athletes in the Olympics run.

Victory and defeat are divided in 0.1 second and 0.01 second increments.

The world isn’t that different from a game in a way.

The higher the achievement level, the higher the level, the lower the expected value of growth over time.

“When I was a mortal, selling one thing honestly was competitive. In fact, most of the transcendentalists who have reached the state of their own transcendence in that way. But once you enter the transcendental world, the story changes. Because there is a new method of growth called divinity and power.”

As with divinity, authority explosively increased the expected growth rate of the transcendentalists who were blocked by the wall.

“Ultimately then… … .”

“no. I don’t know which way is better. It’s just a matter of efficiency. You don’t have to follow the path others have chosen. It is just a methodology.”

“The methodology?”

“Isn’t that the same as considering efficiency? Not all Transcendentalists think like me. Some even think the answer is to dig just one well, the way they reached transcendence.”

“… … But don’t other demon kings also seek growth by collecting power and divinity?”

Player Ran might think so. Because I only saw transcendentalists who coveted authority. In fact, there are other reasons for that.”

The answer was simple.

“The group called the Demon King is just like that.”

There are many transcendentalists who only sell one well.

And if such a transcendent is weaker than the demon lords, that is not the case either.

However, the 72 Demon Lords who gathered for the massive dimension invasion project started by Baal had a consensus in terms of methodology.

“Well, Baal seems to have thought a little differently.”

Gremory patted Ran on the shoulder to encourage her.

“There is no single answer. It is not only the trail that the first climber stepped on.”

“ah… … .”

What Gremory had told me was not particularly a great secret.

Or rather, it was a natural story at the level that objects fall from top to bottom and people need to breathe to live.

Actually, I didn’t even know.

insufficient time.

desperate heart.

Several factors only narrowed her vision.

Gremory’s principled answer became an answer to Ran.

Ran found answers the way she had been through.

rumination.

I retraced my experience, retraced my learning, and further retraced myself.

And within that, Ran caught an inspiration.

‘Dantalian’s super-magnificent magic.’

A new paradigm that builds new magic by stacking magic and magic.

Even authority is used as material.

The super-magnificent magic that was realized on the battlefield was something that could not be established with theory alone.

Millions of experiments.

And if there is no sense of pioneering an unknown path or near-infinite time, it cannot be done.

“And a way to use all the elements you have.”

Ran was a half transcendent.

Although he has become a transcendent, he only has one power.

The divinity that originated from the sun was insignificant compared to the others.

so.

I had to somehow make use of everything I had for one serving.

Dantalian’s supermagic was an attractive method.

Of course, Ran didn’t have thousands of spells like Dantalian.

Magic theories that have been cross-validated in hundreds of dimensions.

The time I lived and the authority.

Compared to Dantalian, it was full of shortcomings.

However, I was able to follow as much as I lacked.

A skill given by the dimensional labyrinth.

Artifact.

Wind tricks.

Even if it wasn’t magic, there were many materials to use.

Above all, the idea to tie everything together was in Ran’s head.

Big la la la la rock!

Big la la la la!

Big and la la la!

Ran calmly waved a fan between the gaps where Balak’s dragon army rushed valiantly.

The magic of Isan.

Wind Craft.

Powerful Nansin (怪力亂神) – Hot Wind (裂風).

The wind moves like Ran’s limbs.

It’s not just limited to the battlefield.

Ran’s wind covered the entire ‘Mawangseong’ stage.

Key Yiing-.

Wind tricks work.

Divinity vibrates.

Ran’s spirit leaped to a higher level.

I gathered all the information that the wind touches.

Some places are hot, some places are cold.

Call: Ice Field.

Call: Lightning.

Simple heating and cooling.

Man-made climate manipulation on a dimensional scale.

A heat imbalance develops on the planet.

Kiyiying-.

Divinity vibrates.

A gigantic scale of energy that would have been unimaginable in the days of mortals stirred violently in the sky.

A combination of skills and techniques based on wind magic.

The amount of technology involved in the process is new blood compared to Dantalian’s sophisticated super-giant magic circle.

However, he said that even if he went to Moro, he could only go to Seoul.

The scale and quality of Ran’s magic was comparable to that of Dantalian’s colossal magic.

Mystery – Genius One Woo (千載一遇).

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-.

The convection created by manipulating all the planet’s climate converges into one point.

typhoon.

A Lan-style super-giant wind craft typhoon.

Quadd deed deed!

The pillars of Barbatos’ demonic castle began to shake.

***

“Dantalian!”

“It was Dantalian!”

The Demon Kings thought so at first.

The method of combining magic and magic to create greater magic was Dantalian’s exclusive possession.

However, I soon realized.

“It’s not Dantalian.”

It was too immature to say that the process of building was Dantalian’s.

Dantalian’s specialty, magic, was rarely used, and the divinity cut into mana was weak.

And crucially, the techniques used in the process of building super-magnificent magic became familiar.

I don’t know the wind magic that is the base, but there are artifacts and skills that are mixed in between.

Crossel’s eyes flashed.

“There was a new Transcendentalist.”

It wasn’t only Crossel who noticed.

The 30th Rank Demon King Forneus and Barbatos.

The other three Demon Lords too.

noticed at the same time

“A new divinity… … !”

“A new transcendent from a player!”

Barbatos retraced the previous battlefield.

Dantalian and Yoon Taeyang.

One female player stuck between them.

Another transcendentalist who went through a chase where two transcendentalists chased after each other with all their might.

There was no presence and the situation was urgent at the time, so I didn’t care.

“Balak joined hands with Yoon Taeyang and the others.”

Balak’s painting is clearly visible.

“Three Transcendentalists and a bunch of small pieces. Still arrogant but… … .”

Now, to some degree, the balance has been struck.

Of course, the dragon army was still dying like moths.

Arithmetically, Barbatos and the demon kings had an advantage.

However, the fact that the situation was being pulled as intended by the other side was definitely uncomfortable.

Just looking at it now, the eyes of the demon kings were focused on the newly appeared transcendent.

“New divinity!”

“Crossell! I will stop that!”

The two nearby demon kings rolled their eyes and rushed at Ran.

Even though they knew it might be the enemy’s trick, their movements were quite reckless.

The loss of the divine power seen while being bound in the dimensional labyrinth.

I take the damage thinking that even a part of it can make up for the damage I’ve seen so far.

Although it is a small divinity, it cannot be denied that if you eat it, you will be full even a little.

There is only one authority, but where is it?

The first to rush towards the wind sorcerer was Forneus, who was in the nearby terrain.

At the same time as the judgment that Forneus might monopolize the divinity, Crossel jumped in, and the 26th rank demon king Bune and the 55th rank demon king Orobas, who were relatively distant, also noticed.

The only quiet one was Scholas, the 36th rank demon king who was on the other side.

“Hey, Forneus! It’s dangerous to go alone! There may be Yoon Taeyang!”

“No, it’s okay to be alone!”

“shit! How about sharing the divinity?”

“How do we share the newly blossomed divinity? Whoever ate first wins!”

Crossel and Forneus even kept each other in check.

Quadd deed deed!

Demon lords who did not move in front of the magic created by Dantalian.

Forneus and Crossel raised their divinity and threw themselves into the storm of Ran without hesitation.

A selfish act of not considering the remaining four demon kings on the battlefield.

The broken trust between them was clearly exposed.

Ha Barbatos let out a blank laugh involuntarily.

At the same time, a large presence swept over from the sky.

An existence that is often talked about as an ignorant mana reserve even among transcendentalists.

It was the dragon king Balak.
