Episode 225 – Ventilation
Scarlett completely controlled the wide range of light.
… Of course, this does not mean that the horse has been controlled, but the side effects have completely disappeared.
For example, if you use berserk, you will not completely lose consciousness, but your intelligence will be somewhat reduced and you will act based on instinct.
This means that immediately after using Berserker, you become exhausted and unable to move.
Of course, considering the combat power when using berserk, this is an unreasonable penalty.
Rather, I should say that I am glad that it ended like this.
‘Anyway, you don’t have to worry about Scarlett anymore.’
Although I lost consciousness and fainted right away, that area was the doppelganger’s area.
Monsters that sense that the doppelganger is dead may gradually approach, but at least there are no monsters around yet.
I will recover quickly, get up, and move again to find the exit.
When you look at Sally’s skills, it seems like she doesn’t have to worry.
“Is there now nothing left to do but wait?”
“Yes. “I think so.”
I got goosebumps for a moment. Stia, who had somehow escaped her labyrinth and ascended to the 1.5 Floor, answered to herself.
“Uh, uh… Stia. I’m here?”
“Yes. I was a little more lost than I thought. “When did you get here?”
“Um… “It’s been about an hour.”
“… Okay.”
Stia nodded her head half-heartedly, as if nothing had happened, but her slightly narrowed eyebrows showed that she was not in a very good mood right now.
He doesn’t seem to like the fact that I escaped the labyrinth first.
These days, Stia seems to think of me as her rival or something.
‘It’s a good thing.’
What Stia feels for me is not some kind of base inferiority complex. She’s competitive.
And a sense of competition, not a sense of inferiority, often promotes a person’s growth more quickly.
She, who was blessed by the stars before me, is feeling nervous about the fact that I have stepped into ‘divinity’ before her.
Excessive nervousness is actually poisonous… At least for her, you don’t have to worry about that.
Stia was someone who knew very well that if she was nervous and rushed, she could fall, and above all else, her confidence that she would be able to surpass me at any time was at the foundation of her confidence. There is.
That’s why she doesn’t get nervous and doesn’t feel inferior.
Just continue to become stronger as you have done so far, and use yourself as a stepping stone to grow further.
That’s probably the only thing on Stia’s head right now.
If Stia can use this as an opportunity to reach divinity faster than me, then all hail from my perspective.
I have a wish to become stronger, but that is only in order to defeat the Demon God and restore peace.
My wish is far from wanting to become stronger than anyone else and become the best in the world.
So, if a friend who fights demons with me becomes stronger, I am welcome.
And the one I’m most looking forward to is actually Dina, not Stia or Celie.
‘It’s not that I’m particularly partial to Dina or anything like that.’
It was because of the author’s official work.
‘Dina Polaris, the main character of the film, has the potential of the strongest person in the world.’
I don’t know if the strongest in the world really includes demons that are related to the beginning of this world.
‘If that’s true, it means she can kill even a large Dina demon.’
Of course, in a situation where nothing is certain, we cannot focus on supporting Dina while abandoning all the others.
The title of the world’s strongest person may only apply to demon lords, not demon gods.
But one thing is certain: Stia and I are among the strongest in that worldview.
So, if Dina grows well, she can become the strongest member of our party.
As I was watching the video of Dina wandering around her labyrinth in a daze, Stia approached her.
“Is it that good?”
“… What? No, I didn’t particularly like it so I watched it.”
“So she doesn’t like Dina? Should I tell Dina?”
“Oh, no. “That’s not what you’re saying.”
“It’s a joke.”
“… ….”

I was dumbfounded and glared at Stia, but Stia, who lightly glanced at me, came next to her and pressed another button.
“Hmm. “This way you can see other kids.”
“Uh. “She said it was the Tower of Babel, so I was honestly a little nervous, but she was kinder than I thought.”
“That’s right. “It’s a little surprising.”
Stia, who was watching her children while clicking various buttons, asked again.
“So, what were you thinking like that?”
“… Just. It’s nothing special. “Now that I look at it, I think everyone has become a lot stronger.”
“That’s right. “There is still a long way to go, though.”
“… Okay. “I’m still not sure if I can defeat the Demon King, let alone the Demon God.”
Having met the Demon King in person, I can say with certainty.
Honestly, the Demon King was a much stronger being than I thought. Now that I’m this strong, I don’t know… At least as of then.
Even against the two weakest positions among the Four Heavenly Kings, he had a hard time….
Even if you reach divinity, wouldn’t it be close to impossible to fight the Demon King alone?
Hero. Paladin. Saint.
These three people, blessed by the stars, form a special magic pattern when they are together.
That magic pattern has the power to greatly suppress the power of the Demon King, and in fact, it is the equivalent of a great magic.
A great magic created by the goddess for the purpose of eradicating the devil.
However, so far, there has been no case where any hero party has caused any real damage to the Demon King. Except for the ‘real Han Si-woo’ warrior party that returned several times.
‘The real Han Si-woo’s warrior party may have even reached divinity.
And if you think about it differently, it may actually be impossible to defeat the Demon King if you do not reach divinity.
So, in my opinion, divinity is only the minimum condition for challenging the Demon King, not the Demon God.
In order to defeat a demon god, you must reach the limit of divinity or even surpass that divinity.
This means that we must pioneer a level that no one in human history has ever reached.
“… Still, there’s a long way to go. Really.”
Stia, who was looking at me silently, shook her head.
“I always feel this way, but you worry too much.”
“… ….”
“We haven’t even caught the devil yet. “But why are you already thinking about defeating the demon god?”
“… That.”
“If we don’t overcome the devil, the world might perish? Well, that really might be the case.”
“It’s not that it might happen, it definitely will.”
Stia glanced at me, sighed, and pressed a button. Dang. Dang. She does and presses repeatedly.
Every time you press the button, only the video showing Scarlett’s fainting state is played from various angles.
“Trust us a little more. “We are strong.”
“… “But still.”
Before I could say anything, Stia cut me off and shrugged his shoulders.
“I know. It’s arrogance. “Right now, it’s hard to beat the devil, let alone the devil.”
“… ….”
“But you know what? I somehow… I don’t think I’ll lose. I’m not saying you can win right now, but if you fight later when you become stronger….”
“… Okay.”
“I’m sure we can win. So, please trust us a little more. “You try to hold everything to yourself too much.”
… Surely.
It seemed like she had been struggling on her own and had never tried to plan something with her colleagues.
Just train, train, and train again.
I was obsessed with having to become stronger as if I had an obsession, and I was buried in it.
“… Definitely needs some ventilation.”
“Yes. Have some peace of mind. Well, it’s not that we wanted to become a hero party, it just happened by chance, so who can blame us if we fail?”
“They’re all dead, so it doesn’t exist.”
I giggled at the nonsense joke.
At that time, break! A person entered the 1.5Th floor with a small halo of light.
Dina, who must have been tired from wandering her way, brushed her slightly dull hair behind her ear and slowly looked around her. She spotted us and approached us with a smile.
“Siwoo. And Ms. Stia.”
“Dina. “You came quickly.”
“Welcome.”
Dina nodded her head in our greeting and asked, keeping her smile.
“What were you two doing?”
“Just talk about what to do next….”
“The two of us are so close together.”
“… ….”
“The two of us are so close together.”
It’s okay to say it twice and not emphasize it….”

After Dina entered the 1.5 Floor, she soon began to clear the labyrinth one by one and gather together.
Now the only ones who had to wait any longer were Jasangnam, who was in the middle of a fun battle game, and Scarlett, who had just come to her senses and started working again.
Since those two still seemed to need a little more time, they decided to gather only the people who entered the 1.5Th floor and make their next plan.
I don’t think it will make any difference whether you make a plan after everyone gets together, or make it in advance and tell the plan to the two who will enter later.
The theme of the second floor is none other than grassland.
It is also a grassland full of monsters.
The escape method is simple. I wandered around the wide grassland needlessly, avoiding monsters as much as possible until I found the boss.
When you catch the boss monster, you can go to the next floor through the portal that is created.
… In fact, I didn’t even have any plans to build one.
I’m just asking you to be quiet so that the monsters’ attention is not focused on you.
