Episode 769: The King is the Important One
The very first one.
When Bedrock Baaluje rose into the sky, it seemed like a black sun was rising.
The realm created by his presence and power was both ominous and enormous in itself.
So what about me now?
‘sun.’
It was the sun that burned itself and set the whole area on fire.
A heat and wave greater and more powerful than any explosion ever before turned the sky upside down.
-Koooooooo!
There was no loud noise or harsh wind.
It was a sound of destruction that spread out, eroding everything within its territory, terrain, and range.
One realization.
‘An explosion doesn’t necessarily mean it will explode.’
What I want.
It’s centered around the destination.
After all, an explosion is an act of blowing something up, and that’s what I want to blow up.
“you.”
Embracing Bedrock Baalujeda.
For the first time, anger appears in his eyes.
“…You’re being too arrogant!”
I guess I can’t just accept this.
Even in that brief moment, the guy’s strength moved.
[Concept, Revenge Reveals the Dagger!]
I, who should have been safe from retribution, also took the brunt of the fallout.
okay.
I thought so.
‘I expected this much.’
That’s why I wasn’t flustered.
It just adds strength to the arms that hold him.
-Koosh!
A shock wave that hits your whole body.
A feeling of being torn apart from within.
A terrible but sure blow struck me and swept away the King of the Worshippers.
-Kuaaaaang!
Below, the earth stirred as if celebrating the newborn sun.
The earth, unable to withstand the aftershocks of the explosion, rises, splits, and shatters, as if a transparent giant were dancing, stomping violently on the ground.

Even though we distanced ourselves, it’s still like that.
No one who set foot on the ground could stand.
[Concept, the king looks down at the kneeling one with satisfaction.] [Concept, the king looks at you.]
It was a bit out of the blue, but the concept he had caught my eye.
[SSS-class power, the eyes that gaze upon the stars turn on the twin wicks.] [Concept, the rebel glares at the king.]
Well, I didn’t stay still either.
‘He’s dead.’
With that thought, I briefly lost consciousness and then came back.
[Near Death (S) Lv.MAX] [Return of the Dead (SSS) Lv.7]
A body that is rapidly recovering.
The Return of the Dead skill, which was activated when returning from the brink of death, gave a buff.
[Title, the opponent of the Demon’s Slave House flashes!]
Titles that face powerful enemies also have their buffs strengthened.
A sudden surge of power.
I wanted to gather more strength, but I didn’t have the luxury.
-Pasasasasasa.
Because the guy moved with cracks all over his body, as if he had been hit by a severe drought.
Ridiculous vitality.
No, this is the power of concepts.
I’m thinking of giving you a shot before you fully recover.
‘There are things to check.’
[SSS-grade power, the unyielding swordsman flashes!] [Sword Steel] [Cut (SSS) Lv.MAX] [Soul Tear (SSS) Lv.9] [Slaughter (S) Lv.MAX] [Enchant (S) Lv.MAX] [Aurora Beam (SSS) Lv.MAX]
Overlapping skills.
There’s one more there.
[Hong Ye-cham (SS)]
A thrust with full force.
Phew.
The rainbow pierced the bastard’s heart, leaving an afterimage.
-Kwagagagagak!
The five-colored rays of light spread out in a wide range.
Bedrock Baaluje, whose chest area was pierced open, shakes his neck.

The dead skin cells that covered its entire body fall off, revealing its appearance.
“That’s too bad.”
Even though his heart was pierced, the bastard was calm.
Instead, he just looks at me with serious eyes.
“You exceeded my expectations, but you still don’t deserve it.”
It had an ambiguous meaning.
It means that you still can’t use shame to go up to the 100th floor.
[Concept: The King looks upon you with pity.] [He who would kill the King must have the appropriate qualifications.]
It means that I am not worthy to stand on equal footing with the king and kill him.
I thought it would be something like this.
Why didn’t the NPCs on the 99th floor even think about catching that guy?
Advertisements
Because in order to catch him, we needed to be on equal footing.
“You’ll have to see about that.”
Don’t I know that?
Before I knew it, there was a crown on my head.
[Dancing Master’s Crown (B)]
The grade and effect weren’t that great, but it had one special power.
‘Qualifications of a King.’
I have two crowns.
The Crown of Magnarok is held by Nyanfen.
This is the only thing left.
I thought it would work out somehow since I met the qualifications.
[A king without anything is meaningless.] [You need even a handful of power to be worthy.]
“This isn’t working.”
It didn’t work.
It wasn’t that disappointing.
Because I had been secretly thinking that this would happen.
The qualifications given by the crown are only a story of the system.
On the other hand, the king I have to deal with.
[Concept: The king looks with pity on those who possess the qualities of a king.]
He is a conceptual king whose interpretation follows the rules of the system.
The story goes that meeting the king’s conditions also has its own standards.
The guy’s hand slowly lifts.
The thorny blade grows out and becomes a blade.
“He who is not a king cannot kill a king.”
He then extended his sword towards the thorns falling straight ahead.
Because I just had no intention of taking it.
“You, come back qualified.”
[Concept, replacement changes revenge into certainty.]
The thorn that should have touched the Chaos Sword became blurry, and a burning pain was felt in my chest.
pang.
A thorn was stuck in my heart.
This kid is secretly petty.
He stabbed himself in the heart after I ate his own heart.
“He who has perfected the concept cannot go beyond this. Try to ask for my permission.”
“go away.”
Phew.
I kicked the guy.
The thorn in my chest was pulled out and blood gushed out.
-Wheww!

I fell to the floor helplessly, but it was okay.
I confirmed everything I wanted to confirm.
I kind of expected it to turn out like this.
I don’t regret dying.
I already had infinite coins anyway.
Above all else.
“I achieved what I wanted.”
Why did I fight and argue with that guy?
Support troops.
I waited for them to come.
To tie him up.
To save the smile cap that has been holding on until now.
“this.”
He also groaned briefly, as if he realized that he had made a mistake by being distracted by me.
Consciousness fades away.
then.
“See you again.”
It’s time to move on.
* * *
“Ugh!”
He got up with a sound that was either a shout or a scream.
bed.
The 96th floor is a safe zone.
“Wow, shit. It’s been so long since I’ve died, I can’t get used to it.”
“Yeah.”
He scratched the back of Deokchun, who was lying next to him, and helped him up.
Although his body has fully recovered, the shock and pain he felt when he died still linger in his mind.
It would have been better to relax my body and mind even a little.
[Mental Protection (SSS) Lv.MAX]
I’m already beyond the point where I can be shaken by that kind of thing.
I sat on the bed and turned on the community.
When you are resurrected after death, a certain amount of time passes.
It would be stranger if there was no delay in reviving a person.
“I wonder what happened.”
For now, we’ve succeeded in capturing the guy.
Just before I died, I saw reinforcements coming.
Advertisements
Since uncertainty was also left out, he wouldn’t have been able to run away.
‘There’s no answer if we confront them head on, but I’m sure the reinforcements know that.’
He has more experience fighting that guy than I do, so he wouldn’t have responded complacently.
Just keep a reasonable distance and observe the bastard to make sure he doesn’t disappear.
-Tiring. Tiring.
The alarms keep ringing.
I tried something and the members’ chat room was noisy.
[Nimary hair loss]: Kongdu! Kongduuuu!
[Meow Punch]: Are you alive? Are you alive?
[Lick the top of your head]: If you don’t answer, I’ll reveal that you’re a public servant?
“Is this guy licking?”
[Petit Gongdu]: Gongdu… is the one who hates licking…
[Lick the crown]: Did you see that? It’s supposed to come out like this?
[Meow Meow Punch]: Wow! The Gongdu Summoning Technique!
[Nimary Baldness]: I knew you’d be alive! Hahaha!
[Meow Meow Punch]: If you don’t come out, I’m going to spread the rumor that Gongdu is a really pretty and pink girl.
[Licks the crown of the head]: Oh? That’s a good idea too?
Nyangpun is also quite bad.
We were having a casual conversation, but when I checked the chat room log, it wasn’t like that.
“Hey. It’s been like this for almost half a day.”
“On the track.”
The first chat I posted to confirm my survival was 14 hours ago.
Has that much time passed since he died?
It may actually have taken longer since the battlefield would have been cleared.
If it’s long, … and if it’s short, it’s short.
Not only the members, but also other guys in the community were checking on my survival.
I wanted to say something, but my nickname is this crap.
Since there is no one who uses the nickname Evil Eye, there are people who doubt my identity.
“For now, I’m crying.”
I was at a loss for an excuse, so I just made up an excuse that I had cursed at the system and was banned from chatting.
Anyway, it’s a community so it can be blocked.
No, not that.
Let’s just let this slide.
[God Bless]: The cleanup is complete. The damage is severe, but we managed to observe the King of the Worshipers.
[s*xy Guy]: Brother! Sister! The coronation ceremony is almost here, where are you?
Advertisements
[Smile Cap]: This time I almost got really screwed.
“It looks like everything was handled safely.”
I checked other chats and got a general idea of what was going on.
I managed to observe the king of worshippers.
That doesn’t quite keep him captive.
Just making sure they don’t leave on their own.
It meant that if a crazy guy rushes in, a fight is unavoidable.
‘It’s not that there is no impact.’
The guy went back with his worshippers.
I couldn’t kill him because he wasn’t qualified to be a king, but it was still shocking.
Fortunately, it seems that Smile Cap also survived.
Knock knock. I tapped my fingers.
In the end, what matters is the qualifications of a king.
“To become a king, people are more important than territory.”
A concept is like a living creature.
It’s just invisible and you can’t tell how it moves.
In that sense, the concept he had, the king was a man of many words.
A king must have even a handful of power.
The territorial weight was almost negligible.
Well, if you think about it, the entire 99th floor is part of the tower, so it’s a bit much to claim it as your own land.
“If you only look at the battle, it seems like it could be a fight.”
At least I confirmed that damage was done.
Of course, this isn’t the bastard’s full power.
He didn’t move to kill me.
How I utilize the concept.
It was more about making sure he reached the level he wanted.
What if you had fought with all your might from the beginning?
‘It won’t be easy.’
Not only does he have the strength, but he also moves calmly even when injured.
Collecting concepts also helps to heal wounds.
The most difficult thing of all is using various powers.
‘There is a term.’
I observed that while fighting, even though he was called that guy, he didn’t use the concept without any restrictions.
Revenge from uncertainty. Confirmation again.
The concept did not change continuously.
Advertisements
Maybe it will take time to change to a different concept.
This is only a prediction.
So, what is the strategy?
“A monster is a monster. Even when injured, it didn’t react at all.”
The bastard didn’t even squirm in pain when he was hit or when his heart was pierced.
The bastard’s body is already nothing more than a vessel that holds concepts rather than a physical body.
It would be similar to the broken ones handing out gift boxes made of body parts.
Well, it may be a little shocking, but not to a significant degree.
That guy flinched just once.
‘When you absorb the concept.’
That was the biggest reaction he’d ever seen.
Should we say that this is a side effect of absorbing too many concepts?
It also seems like a good idea to aim for that part.
Of course, to do that, you must eventually obtain the qualifications of a king.
At that time, Nyangpen was about to ascend to the throne.
What should I do?
Suddenly a good idea occurred to me.
-Bang!
“What if I come back?”
The door opened and Lilka came inside.
