Chapter 173 Daehyun Group
Lerlia.
stronger than expected No, her movements were absurdly fluid to say that she was simply strong. It means soft, elegant, splendid and elegant.
Not just a remnant of the soul imitating swordsmanship, but like a person who actually uses a sword. Shall we say that it contains intention and thought beyond the shape that high-ranking knights often say?
The flame magic blade that scattered thickly was terribly strong, but there was also flexibility within that strength.
Jihoo was curious.
‘Is the original swordsmanship like that? Or is it thanks to the ego?’
Check it out.
Ji-hoo, Lee Hee-yeon and Kim Mi-ji did not even move. However, Lerlia alone was enough to deal with the 12 hell dogs nearby.
“… … This is too big.”
Lee Hee-yeon said as if it was absurd.
Kim Mi-ji, who was next to her, nodded as if it were the same.
“Yes, the level is also the level, but is that a swordsmanship that makes sense? Even to me, who doesn’t know much about swordsmanship, it’s amazing.”
Everyone agreed to Jihoo’s words.
That’s right.
“Come on.”
Jihoo called Lerlia.
Crystals of chloride were extracted from the hell dogs she had caught, and the crystals had an average concentration of 30%.
I checked her information.
『Lerlia of Fire [Asmodian/Fire] [Ghoul] [Lv. 11] [Experience – 26%]』
: Lerlia, a pure-blooded demon who was born with pure blood, received the grace of the demon king and died fighting on the battlefield. After that, he met a black magician with great skills and was reborn as a ghoul close to perfection.
Also, due to the intervention of a mysterious power, it is possible to raise the level by consuming the same attribute of ‘chlorine’.
* [Refined Demon King’s Grace]
* [Advanced Command Talent]
* [Ghoul of Flame (50%)]
* [Growth Predation]
* [Ego (Lv. 01) (59%)]
“Let’s just eat one of the 30%.”
Jihoo passed a crystal of salt to her.
OK.
Ssssssssssssssssssss
The crystals turned into small particles and were absorbed into her body.
– Absorbs high concentrations of chloride.
-Experience of [Lerlia of Flame] is greatly increased!
-[Ego]’s experience will increase significantly!
also rise separately.
Jihoo’s setting to directly give experience to the ego worked.
First of all, the experience of Lerlia itself rose by 10% at once. Considering that the previous EXP was 1%, it seems that the EXP increased just by hunting.
『Lerlia of Fire [Asmodian/Fire] [Ghoul] [Lv. 11] [Experience – 36%]』
The following is [Ego]’s experience.
A total increase of 20%.
[Ego (Lv. 01) (79%)]
‘If I feed a few more, the level will go up.’
The decision to chlorine was a waste.
If you have an average 30% chloride crystal you have now, you can use Jihoo’s extraction and combination to make more than 80% [chlorine beads].
But experimentation is important.
Accurate performance of [Growth Predation].
‘Let’s just feed 7 more.’
I wanted to see how the description window would change if I raised the level of [Lerlia of Flame] itself.
“Ah, what a waste!”
“Are you going to eat them all?”
The two of them looked at each other and said.
It was worth it. 50% was sold for 200 billion won. The 30% will be much cheaper, but I know that Jihoo can combine these to make 50% or more.
Didn’t 800 billion won just be thrown away with just 7 simple calculations?
Hearing that, Jihoo felt it too.
“… … Hey, it’s a waste of me to say it myself.”
But even this 800 billion was earned by Lerlia. The stronger these ghouls become, the greater the benefit they will bring.
– Absorbs high concentrations of chloride.
-Experience of [Lerlia of Flame] is greatly increased!
-[Ego]’s experience will increase significantly!
-[Ego (Lv. 01)] level rises!
‘Ego hasn’t expected it yet.’
No change.
[Ego] will have to grow, have a certain consciousness and carry out complex commands will have to be at least level 4.
What matters now is the overall level.
– Absorbs high concentrations of chloride.
-Experience of [Lerlia of Flame] is greatly increased!
-[Ego]’s experience will increase significantly!
-『Flame Lerlia [Asmodian/Fire] [Ghoul] [Lv. 11] The level of [Experience – 96%] increases.
“… … ?”
A change has occurred.
It is said to be a ghoul, but it was a very good quality corpse, and it was made by President Jung Woo-yeon, so the appearance was a normal demon itself.
However, there were bound to be subtle differences. The ones with faded colors, cloudy pupils, and stitch marks on one side of the head that had been shattered.
But, that has faded.
It didn’t disappear all at once, but if it went up a few more levels, it wouldn’t look like a ghoul at all.
『Lerlia of Fire [Asmodian/Fire] [Ghoul] [Lv. 12] [Experience – 3%]』
: Lerlia, a pure-blooded demon who was born with pure blood, received the grace of the demon king and died fighting on the battlefield. After that, he met a black magician with great skills and was reborn as a ghoul close to perfection.
Also, due to the intervention of a mysterious power, it is possible to raise the level by consuming the same attribute of ‘chlorine’.
* [Refined Demon King’s Grace (+1)]
* [Advanced Command Talent (+1)]
* [Ghoul of Flame (50%)(+1)]
* [Growth Predation (+1)]
* [Ego (Lv. 02) (33%) (+1)]
“… … ?”
What is this?
Jihoo used [Detail].
[+1]
: The level of the object rises, and the level of the sub-option is given +1. As you rise above a certain level, the options themselves change.
It was like this.
It’s not bad.
No, it’s actually huge.
Level 9 to 10 is a huge difference. 10 to 11 is smaller than that, but that is because one ‘step’ changes.
When you go up to level 10 or higher, the level itself starts to make a difference. The difference between levels 10 and 11 is much greater than between levels 8 and 9.
“like this… … Raise Lerlia’s level to 13.”
Among all the armaments Jihoo has now, the highest level must be this [Desolate Flame]. Next is the [Cold Flame Shrine] and the last one is [Lerlia].
Practically speaking, it means that only these three pieces of equipment can deliver effective blows to [Cerberus], the boss and gatekeeper of the 11th floor.
‘The effect is certain. If I get enough SP, I should put [Growth Feed] on the [Dragon Witch] and [Witch’s Robe].’
I was studying this [Growth Predation] little by little through [Understanding], but it had a lot of systemic elements mixed in it. In other words, the degree of difficulty was high because it was a twist through SP to do something that is generally impossible.
I mean it’s hard to understand.
So I have to consume SP… … .
‘About 30,000 gathered today alone.’
Including the SP that came from the hell dog that Lerlia hunted. Survival SP comes in more than expected.
[Cerberus].
It was a dog from hell with three heads. It is said to be the pet dog of Hades and the last feat of Hercules, but here it is just a monster.
Of course, outrageously strong.
[The Cold Knights].
They have been beaten several times here. Two of the dead also came out of this place, and it was such a difficult gateway that they had to come down the tower again.
But Geary overcame it.
Like Jihoo, he must have overcome it with equipment and experience made with by-products from coming up here.
‘I’ll meet the Knights of the Cold at this rate.’
You probably haven’t even heard that Jihoo is here because the auxiliary team can’t join you from the 11th floor onwards.
‘The 13th floor must have been solved.’
While Jihoo was thinking about that, Lerlia hunted 10 more hell dogs and fed all of the [Crystals of Flame] to Lerlia.
OK.
Reached level 13.
The object level was 13, and the rest of the options had a value of (+2) attached.
“Then shall we go catch Cerberus?”
Heeyeon Lee and Miji Kim answered Jihoo’s words with nervous faces.
“let’s go.”
“can do!”
Tension is natural. But there was also confidence in it. With the artifact Jihoo made, it was not difficult to endure.
Jihu and Lee Ghoul Lerlia will take the powerful blow.
* * *
Daehyun Group.
Chairman Jeong Woon-chul was looking at the convened presidents with a hard expression. I don’t know how it happened.
‘Was it my greed?’
no.
To be greedy, it was a very natural desire.
I wanted to live long. He lived only 80 years and had too much to die.
Also, there was a lot of work to be done.
I tried to find an [elixir] that was said to revive even the dead, but even that couldn’t overcome the heaven-sent lifespan.
It is a thousand wheels.
So I was angry with the sky. Why did he give it the same lifespan as other dogs and pigs or lower class people?
I looked away.
‘Another god. It looks like a devil, but it’s better than this sky!’
The first to approach was a group called [Nocturne]. He doesn’t even know. A group of fanatics who serve the gods of the other world, but the conditions they offered were too sweet.
‘Eternal life!’
What could be sweeter than that word? This much money and this strong power are nothing in front of eternal life.
however… … .
It all started to come down in an instant.
“… … Daehyeon Heavy Industries, which dug natural magic stones in British submarine mines, was withdrawn, all PMC hunters who had entered the US were expelled, and the artifact factories built in China were suspended. And in the [Korean Hunter Association], even the semi-defense qualifications and the right to enter and exit dungeons were frozen… … . In addition, even the intellectual property rights borrowed from the [White Magic Tower] became pieces of toilet paper, and disciplined by the [World Portrait Management Committee] and [Multilateral International Defense Agreement]. No, I was just told to leave.”
That’s not all.
All research cooperation with Samhyeon was cut off, and the demilitarization agreement with Russia in Africa was also unilaterally cut off.
Related news spread all over the world, and the market capitalization of Daehyun Group was halved in a matter of days. If it was only that much, I would have tried to hold on somehow.
But that wasn’t all.
When it comes to business, there was no debt, and a large and strong company like Daehyun had no choice but to take out bigger loans.
A drop in the group’s credit rating?
it could be.
Even so, I do not threaten to pay off the loan overnight in this way. If you don’t pay it back, you don’t even shout that you will be ‘forced debt performance’.
And that is for the Daehyun Group, not just a small and medium-sized company. Banks that normally couldn’t be heard turned their backs in an instant.
It was the same with the bank, which had eaten up a lot of money and knew that biting each other would kill each other.
Daehyun Group.
Chairman Jeong Woon-chul had to receive all these reports in just a few days. He didn’t know why, but he remembered a rumor he had heard.
‘Heroes under the moonlight.’
It was just a rumor.
A gathering of powerful people who rule the world from the shadows, such as the Illuminati and Freemasons. I heard that they actually existed in the past, but no one had seen or experienced them.
It’s just a rumor.
However, I got goosebumps on the skin of Chairman Jung Woon-cheol, who built the Daehyeon Group. That slight tension turned into a sharp blade aimed at his neck.
‘A few days ago, after the Royal Knights incident.’
I also received a report from that time.
Everything was drawing a picture, and President Jeong Woon-cheol was not an idiot who knew nothing, having reached this point.
“There is still time.”
maybe there isn’t
But there is always hope.
Even if the sky falls
“Non-performing assets… … No, sell everything that makes money, and reduce the number of employees by more than 40%. Cut the body in half… … Lie down.”
That was the best he could do.
It is best to duck down when a storm comes.
However, a black shadow appeared in a corner of the conference hall, where no one could see. And the surroundings went dark in an instant.
