Episode 70 Laying the groundwork

2Nd floor, playing with fire.

3Rd floor, Saro’s Gate.

Four floors, one hundred fires.

Floor 5, Natural Trap.

The 6th floor, the land of knights.

And about a month.

We reached the 6th floor before we knew it.

Krashu, who established all the previous floors as the shortest distance, and the three of them were moving forward.

There were quite a few battles, and the amount of time I spent in the Palace of Demons was long.

Krashu and all three of them were in a state of wear and tear.

But that’s only superficial.

Krache and Lakradion ran from the front and fought against the swarm of giant ants holding their weapons together.

“Are those two monsters? Their stamina never gets tired.”

Watching the battle between Krashu and Lakradion, Derek said in a tired tone.

That’s probably because those two people were fighting almost non-stop all the way to the 6th floor.

What in the world are these two being chased by, why are they so crazy about fighting?

As if it was a waste of time, the two did not know how to rest.

“It’s nice to see. It’s been a while since I’ve seen Lark unnie be so motivated.”

Derek didn’t deny it.

In the past, Lakradion only swung his sword every day, but all his will was broken.

She doesn’t usually express her emotions well, but Derek knew well that she was always into mannerisms.

But now it was different.

As she broke through to the 6th floor with Krashu, she was gradually regaining her former vigor.

And among them, what energized her the most was the sparring with Krashu during the intermission.

「Lacladion, let’s sparr with me.」

When they first heard that, Derek and Penicelli instantly wondered if he was crazy.

A busy yard to attack the Demon Palace.

It was absurd to say that he would lose his stamina through sparring when he should be resting.

But for some reason, Lakradion responded.

Both of them were absurd, but they couldn’t say anything when they said they would do it.

In the end, the two watched in silence.

「I can’t use too much power, so it’s okay with a pure sword without an aura.」

「Yes, I see.」

Fortunately, both of them didn’t use Aura.

The result of the battle that began was Krashu’s complete defeat.

In fact, it was disappointing to say that it was an expected result.

Because Derek and Penicelli heard that he defeated Fendal overwhelmingly.

I thought I would be equal even if I couldn’t do it, but I never thought I would lose so easily.

The two looked suspicious, but Lakradion’s eyes widened.

To be honest, Krashu’s sword was ordinary.

To be exact, it was closer to Dunjae’s sword.

It was the result of a combination of numerous variables, secret techniques, and situational predictions against Fendal.

It was because the path that Krashu devoted himself to the sword was not very high.

Lacladion realized.

He means that he, who does not have even the slightest bit of talent he possesses, struggled to the point where he was on a different level from himself and came up to this far away.

The next day, and the day after that, Krashu asked her to fight her.

Lacladion responded to Krashu’s sparring each time.

The result was nothing to say.

Krashu rolled on the floor every time, and was defeated.

But Lakradion gradually felt it.

As if he were copying himself, Krashu began to put his own basic skills into his body.

‘Lacladion is a person with a reputation for basic skills alone.’

She had a sword that was so honest that she was sometimes destroyed, but she only tempered that honesty and reached the beginning of her master.

Krashu saw many geniuses.

They were all great and outstanding.

But it grew based on their talent.

It was different from the background at the beginning of the master, where Beomjae barely climbed over and faced the wall at the end.

Krashu is not a genius.

So ironically, Lakradion was the most suitable for those who could refer to the foundation that Beomjae had built.

No matter how much you refer to genius, in the end, the basis is different.

That’s why Krashu decided to copy her sword.

Knowing that she lacks basic skills, she is determined to grow even by copying La Cradion’s basic skills.

I felt that will intact every time I sparred, and somehow Lakradion laughed.

It is poisonous.

And in a way, she had no pride.

Because stealing and learning other people’s things is a disgraceful thing for a swordsman.

However, he is a direct descendant of Valheim, who is said to be the strongest.

She thought she would steal her basic skills even though there must be many people who are much greater than her.

How absurd.

But she was as sincere as the tenacity in her eyes.

The tenacity to achieve everything without fail.

It was frighteningly intense.

And seeing that, Lakradion realized.

How was he able to defeat Fendal at such a low level and become so strong?

And why Lakradion felt that he would become stronger in the future.

‘I realized how meaningless self-esteem is.’

And La Cradion saw her eyes, so she let go of her pride.

If Krashu wants to learn from himself.

I will also learn from Krashu about his anomalies.

Even though it seemed like he was passing on basic skills to Krashu in Dalian.

When attacking the Demonic Palace, on the contrary, Lakradion started to learn from Krashu.

Krashu was full of anomalies.

Having mastered all sorts of miscellaneous things, he took out each and every one of them and fought while reflecting on them.

The sight made Derek and Penicelli admire.

Because Krashu, who jumped over the wall and wielded the Black Flame, was overwhelming.

So, La Cradion stopped pursuing only his honesty after seeing such Krashu.

There are many ways to be strong.

Only going straight is sometimes not the answer.

I was just starting to realize that fact.

And for her, it was also a step towards getting over her wall.

So naturally Lakradion became fun.

She took only one step up the wall, but the pleasure was indescribable.

For a swordsman, nothing was as valuable as that handful of realization.

「Krashu-sama, can I ask you one thing?」

When I entered the entrance of the 6th floor, Lakradion asked Krashu a question.

「Why do you run to become so strong?」

Will he be able to go further if he also aims for the same?

When she asked why she asked, Krashu glanced at her and replied.

「To stop the end of the world once and for all.」

Lacladion blinked.

It was such an absurd statement, but it was because Krashu felt his sincerity.

The end of the world.

I wondered why the normal world would perish.

I wondered if I could become that strong only if I set that goal.

Sometimes, she thought, a big imagination held at a young age can become a big goal to be devoted to in the future.

Without realizing that everything he said was sincere.

Anyway, thanks to that, Krashu and Lakradion continued descending the Demon Castle with almost no rest.

The place they arrived before they knew it was the 6th floor of the Palace of Demons, the guardian’s room.

A plaza where various stone statues stand side by side with the walls becoming one body.

From noble mtl dot com

A stone statue of a guardian guarding the 6th floor at the center was waiting for them while riding a stone statue with a giant shield and sword on its back.

Purreuk-

At the appearance of the four people, the stone statue of the horse trembled as if it were alive.

If you break through this guy, you’ll be on the 7th floor.

It was Krashu Ne who would face Rakuten just one more floor away.

“Cream.”

As Krache quietly called, Crimson Garden slowly flapped its wings and soared up over the plaza.

Looking at that, Krashu glanced around.

On the way here, Krashu and everyone found traces of someone passing by.

And the trace belonged to Fendalod.

As Fendal declared, Fendalord entered the Demonic Palace earlier than Krashu and was challenging.

Isn’t it a lie to know the shortcut? He was breaking through the Demon Palace at tremendous speed.

In the first place, until just before the 8th floor, it was Fendal Road that I frequented every day.

It must have been a piece of cake for them.

‘I thought it was a bit excessive to openly sell traps.’

I thought Fendal wasn’t a very honest guy, so he must have messed with it.

Unexpectedly, Fendal hadn’t done any tricks on the way to here.

I wonder if he was thinking of challenging Nakcheon more squarely than he thought?

‘A guy like that would have done something in the Demonic Palace long ago.’

Unfortunately, Krashu did not rate Fendal that highly.

“Mr. Krashu.”

At that moment, upon hearing La Cradione’s call, Krashu turned his head.

She seemed ready to fight at any moment, and as time went by, she was gradually regaining her radiance.

As if this was the path she was supposed to take.

Her light was like light.

“Okay, now I have to go to the 7th floor.”

Krashu said that, and gradually raised the extinction and erosion.

Then, the heat passed through Krashu’s body, and his physical abilities increased to the extreme.

Damn it!

At that moment, the stone horse started to run along with the guardian.

I felt the ground shake as the horse ran, several times taller than a human.

Krache and Lakradion spurred up the floor at the same time.

Krashu and Lakradion have worked together for the past month, coming down to the 6th floor.

The two arrived in front of him before the stone statue horse was running.

The guardian, the owner of the embarrassed horse, hurriedly tried to defeat the two with a shield and a sword, but the two avoided them like flowing water.

Seoguk, Hwareuk!

The sound of cutting and burning resonated in an instant.

Krashu’s sword wrapped in black flames with Ignis and Lakradion’s sword wrapped in an aura blade cut off the front legs of the horse statue.

Kooung!

Because of the forelimbs that disappeared in an instant, the stone statue fell headlong and the guardian fell.

However, unlike ordinary humans, guardians did not die from falling off horses.

He just dropped some crumbs.

Immediately, I got up from my seat and stretched out my sword at the two of them.

The stone sword was truly intimidating.

It was strong enough for a weapon fortress, but the opponents were Krashu and Lakradion.

The two swords crossed as if joining together and received the sword at the same time.

Kooung!

The power of the stone statue far surpassed that of a human, to the point that the floor beneath Krashu and Lakradion’s feet was hard and cracked.

However, the two did not back down in the slightest despite that power, and rather raised their auras.

Wheek!

The moment Lakradion and Krashu’s sword soared into the sky at the same time, the stone statue couldn’t overcome its power, and as it rose, the sword of the moon rose.

Between the gaps.

The stone statue hurriedly gathered the shield forward, but Lakradion dug in between them first.

The sword of Lakradion, containing honesty, blocked the shield from the front.

“Krashu!”

Following that call, Krashu quickly reached the inside of the Guardian with heat.

A sword raised upward, a shield blocked by Lakradion.

There was nothing to protect his empty body.

Krashu’s sword slashed with all its might at the power source that was driving him inside the Guardian.

Kwaddeuddeudeuk!

The stone statue was split apart, and the guardian’s body was severed along with the power source.

Guardians who lost their power source collapsed as they were, and Lakradion and Krashu quickly moved away from the guardians.

It is safe to say that it was truly a breath of fantasy.

“I feel it again, but I don’t need much except for directions.”

Seeing that, Derek patted him on the stomach and let out his wacky grin.

Originally, Lakradion alone was at the level of lightly attacking the 6th floor.

With Crash added to it, of course there was no reason for him to step out.

“I don’t think I have anything big to do either.”

She used divine magic a few times as she was not without injuries, but she tasted regret.

But they know.

Just to the point of saying that I wouldn’t be able to fight so comfortably against Nak-cheon, whom I would soon meet.

[ Hey. ]

While Krashu was lightly warming up while extinguishing the extinction and erosion.

Crimson Garden descended upon his shoulders.

At that moment, Krashu noticed that her eyes were looking somewhere.

That was none other than the 7th floor door that opened after the 6th floor guardian died.

“Cream?”

Crimson Garden showed a slight displeasure when Krashu reacted curiously.

[ The energy of the trap is very strong. ]

At that moment, Krashu’s eyes turned to the entrance.

Krashu immediately moved to the entrance on the 7th floor.

Of course, there was nothing that made me feel crash.

It’s just that Crimson Garden, which has lived through countless years, will feel it.

A bleak smile lingered on Krashu’s lips.

Because I knew very well who prepared the trap.

‘Has it started?’

This is Fendal’s work.
