Episode 487 – Helter-skelter (9)
Everyone was wary of the name, the Great Demon of Laziness.
“You came to help?”
“Huh, why would the devil…?”
-Why does the Great Demon help humanity?
-Even students at Daehakwon wouldn't be fooled by this lol
-Oh lol, it's obvious at first glance, right?
-5252, the title of the Great Demon of the Commander-in-Chief is already held by a punk!
-You believe in the devil? You idiot!
-Really lol Just do the devil of sloth
-I really hate it when people keep calling me lazy lol
Only Lee Kyung-bok, who had already guessed it was a miracle, and Genom, who knew the game, calmly watched the situation.
“I didn’t do anything… Is there any need to fight…?”
Everyone was bewildered by Belphegor's subsequent words. As soon as Belphegor appeared, the NPCs collapsed.
Belphegor turned his gaze towards the fallen, as if the developers had anticipated such questions.
“These people are trapped in their own laziness… Just seeing me makes them feel that way…”
-oh…!
-Ah haha Belphegor Shack came to our house too
-Right ㅋㅋ The reason I'm a t-shirt is because of that grandpa ㅋㅋ
-Aren't the trolls just lazy?
-Tsk! It's the devil's fault!?
-Are you Belphegor?
While the viewers were joking, Belphegor's eyes turned towards the members.
“Except for those with strong wills like you… Anyway, let’s get to the point… If I go on any longer, I’ll become so lazy I’ll even stop breathing…”
With those words, burning letters began to appear in the air.
[I don't want to do anything.
It is a bother to punish or torment sinners who have fallen into hell.
But I don't want to increase my enemies either.]
[Hell is changing.
Demons increase their work and take sinners, claiming that they will use science and technology.
If this continues, it will become more annoying…]
As the flames died down, the letters, now reduced to ashes, were soon imprinted on the old parchment, replacing the ink.
The members burst into laughter at the two pieces of parchment that appeared before their eyes.
“No, are you writing this because you’re too lazy?”
“It’s because I’ve fallen into laziness and I don’t even want to fight.”
“But why did you appear here?”
-The pinnacle of eccentricity!
-Oh my gosh, now that I look at it, I stopped writing.
-Look at the clear concept lol
-I'm a three-day-old person, so maybe I'm better than the Great Devil?
– Seriously, why did you go through all that trouble to come here?
Soon the parchment burned away and Belphegor spoke again.
“When I wrote that, I thought no one could defeat the Great Demons… But seeing you guys changed my mind…”
Soon, new parchments appeared, accompanied by flames. There were three different types.
“With the other great demons gone, this annoying problem will disappear… If you won’t bother me, I’ll lend you my strength…”
-Huh? Are you really helping me?
-5252, was he really that ugly devil? LOL!
-What's wrong with using "chunom" instead of "tongsu"? LOL
-Ah, that bastard is synonymous with the commander (nods)
-So it turned out to be an outsourcing request?
-The devil of sloth and outsourcing, perhaps they go together surprisingly well?
The members scanned the parchment that appeared before them. Soon, Decibel's voice rose.
"Ah! I know this! It's something that appears a lot in rogue-lite games! Like a relic!"
"Ugh! Mr. Decibel, you've got experience, so you noticed right away! As you all can see, it's not just about good things. Where there's a gain, there's a loss. It's an equivalent trade-off!"
“Hmm, so this is indeed a devil’s contract.”
"Oh, it says that once you've made your selection, you'll immediately move on to the boss fight. It seems to be a replacement for the third phase, in preparation for the boss fight."
Choosing a contract triggers a boss fight. Opinions are divided in the chatroom.
– Damage increase and attack speed decrease? Why use this?
-You can use it if you hit it once lol
-Does this seem like it would be beneficial to Denunna?
-Really lol I gathered them and shot them with a charging rifle
-On the other hand, it is Ikle Kyung and Chunom who are at a disadvantage;;
-Isn't the cooldown reduction and tech function deletion a bit Eva-like?
-This is going to go out lol
-Who deletes random skills? LOL
-Would it be different if it were Manhae's Godple?

-What does the debuff effect reduction and recovery effect reduction mean? Is there recovery?
-Are you talking about consumables?
-All three are tricky?
Meanwhile, Eclipse reached out for a contract.
“Hmm… It feels like there’s a weight on my arm.”
“Oh, really? I guess it’s a way to feel the load.”
"I don't know the game, so I won't give my opinion. Instead, I'll just say one thing: it applies to all of us, so choose carefully!"
All members had to vote to decide, but Eclipse was able to experience it beforehand. Eclipse experienced "Heavy Body," which increased damage and reduced attack speed.
As the other members looked around, Lee Kyung-bok tilted his head.
"Isn't this the best? It's not an equivalent exchange, it's just a gain."
Everyone's attention turned to this. Lee Kyung-bok chose the "Unchanging Body" contract, which included debuffs and healing effects.
“Well… I definitely haven’t felt the need for anything like a restorative.”
"Attacks are something you can block or dodge, you know. And besides, isn't Purple Lord going to give you some extra assistance?"
The two nodded at him, but Genome glanced at him.
"No, that… I'm not sure if this is a spoiler. I'd agree with everyone else, but this contract will be particularly detrimental to you, Captain. And repair drones will come out later, right? When that time comes, this choice will be detrimental to all of us!"
Viewers who agreed with that explanation also changed their minds.
-Oh my gosh, so in the end it's not for Godple?
-You couldn't stand it anymore and got angry again?
-But it's true again, lol
-It's true that if the support gets nerfed, the whole team gets nerfed lol
-If it's a roguelike, doesn't this apply until the ending?
-It's a bit much to get nerfed alone in a co-op game;;
-Just don't sign the contract, right?
“Hmm, if it’s not essential, I guess I can skip it.”
“Oh, right. We did well among ourselves, you know.”
The members also changed their opinions. But Lee Kyung-bok immediately waved them off.
“Thank you for your concern, but I’m fine. It won’t be a big problem.”
Contrary to everyone's concerns, he said confidently, "I didn't feel any negative emotions."
"As you all know, operating a drone involves a sort of mini-game, right? As the effect diminishes, you just have to do it faster and more often."
The members opened their eyes wide at him and then smiled.
“Oh, really, it’s Master who’s talking about this, so it’s a bit harsh.”
“If Lord Purple is so confident, can’t we believe it?”
“That’s right. The captain has been doing show and prove again.”
As everyone changed their minds, Lee Gyeong-bok also smiled and joked.
"If you're really worried, wouldn't it be better if everyone just took care of it? If there's no damage, there's no need for repairs."
“Hmm… I’ll try…”
“Hey, Sir Icke! The captain is being rude! Rude!”
"No, Master, you're joking too much! We're not Masters!"
The members also laughed and clapped along.
* * *
After choosing the contract, Belphegor opened a portal. Beyond it was a large, railed tunnel.
-It seems to be connected to where Baalzebub is?
-Isn't that a mine cart coming from behind?
-Stop doubting the commander!
-But even if you're a commander, you won't get a purge day lol
-Really lol You are a craftsman
-Perm's hearing is amazing lol
-Grandpa;; Kids these days don't know what Somers is
The members immediately followed the rails. Fortunately, the platform came into view shortly after.
“There are demons.”
“I guess we’re not fighting the boss right away.”
“I think we should deal with the thugs first.”
The drone sent ahead detected the enemy. The other members also became alert, noticing the red dot on the minimap.
As I quickly followed the passage, I began to hear the voices of the demon supervisors.
“Baalzebub! Please, please give me just a little more time⋯!”
“The tribute will arrive soon!”
“Well, the Superintendent himself came forward…!”
I could sense the desperation and fear in her trembling voice. But there was no answer.
As a scream tore through the hallway, the members looked at each other with wide eyes.
“No, your subordinate right now⋯?”
“Hmm, I guess I should call him the Great Demon…”
“You are quite impatient.”
-What the heck lol I just deleted it
-Immediately. Kill.
-Really lol He's the great devil of greed, so why would he wait?
-If you wait, it seems like there won't be any problems lol
-Baalzebub: Can I just look at it this once?
-King Chiman Purge Day was outside?
-And you came out so disgustingly?
The members crossed the now-silent passage. A vast space soon appeared, filled with mountains of minerals.
In the middle of it all stood a large altar, and around it the overseers were trembling without even a groan.
“Ugh… what is this?”
“It looks like you’ve been poisoned.”
The supervisor's body was blackened and rotting. The air vibrated as everyone groaned in horror at the sight.
“Where is the tribute?”
The voice that followed was small, almost like a whisper, but it felt strangely irritating.
“Oh, this is the mosquito or fly buzzing around my ear.”
-Oh lol that's right lol
-I said something was annoying, f*ck
-I'm about to fall asleep, but I get so annoyed when I hear things like this lol
-He turned up the volume like this because he's the King of Paris lol
-What is it? Don't pay attention to these details!
Naturally, there was no way the members would have received any tribute. Realizing this, Baalzebub whispered again.
“If you have no offering, offer yourself. No one will desire the rotten flesh.”
At those words, everyone sensed the beginning of a boss fight. However, Baalzebub was nowhere to be seen.
'Are you hiding under the altar?'
Everyone turned their attention to him, but Lee Kyung-bok could sense their presence. Soon, he sensed a growing hostility, along with a growing number of them.
“Become corrupt, and you will be mine.”
At the sound of Baalzebub's voice, the altar opened, and countless parasites poured out from within.
“Ugh! This is so disgusting!”
“Be careful!”
“Everyone, get ready!”
The members immediately prepared to attack. However, the rain of Paris drones was not directed at them.
They dug into the body of the overseer lying around the altar.
-What is it? Are you undead?
-Is this why you killed him in advance?
-But it's so annoying lol
-Can't you even shoot a fireball?
-Right? Haha, so it was actually nerfed?
-5252, are you even going to warm up?
-Parishat haha look how friendly you are
The corpses of the demons, discolored black, rose and approached the members. However, that was all; there was no other aggressive behavior.
“I will take care of it!”
Eclipse, always at the forefront, charged forward with a boost. But just before he could swing his weapon, a barrier blocked his path.
“Purple Sir?!”
“What the heck!? What the heck!? It exploded!”
I wondered why, but the corpse exploded, throwing itself against the barrier. Black fluid bubbled and sprayed around the area.
"It's a suicide bomber. And it seems to have a movement speed reduction effect. Can you see the other suicide bombers slowing down too?"
Everyone's eyes widened at Lee Kyung-bok's words. Even Genome, who already knew his identity, was equally shocked.
"No, Captain, how did you know I was going to blow myself up? I was debating whether or not to tell you!?"
“I saw the scan was coming back and it was a demon, not an ordinary supervisor. Since it didn’t attack from a distance, I figured it could self-destruct.”
-Hahaha the scan judgment is good
-This guy's reflexes are really amazing
-This is the perfect assistant, Imari.
-Just trust and follow Captain Perfect!
Everyone nodded at Lee Kyung-bok's answer.
"Whoa! As expected of the boss! This is phase 1 of the boss fight! Actually, I've been holding back ever since the Belphegor contract, but the debuff reduction is really good for this boss fight!"
“Indeed! I was careless.”
“Then I’ll take care of it for you!”
When Decibel aimed his gun instead, Lee Kyung-bok raised his hand to stop him.
“No, if we just deal with it, the entire area will be covered in bodily fluids.”
“Oh, that’s right! Then what should I do?”
-Oh, first of all, it's a gimmick that opens the slow plate.
-Really lol It seems like that's the main thing rather than the self-destruct damage
-King Chiman Godple went straight through it?
– Seriously lol This hyung has such a good sense of gaming lol
-But I can't not catch it, right?
The viewers were wondering what to do, but Lee Kyung-bok smiled faintly.
“I’ll lure the corpses to a corner and then we’ll round them up and kill them.”
“Master?”
“Captain, isn’t it really dangerous for an engineer to have such stamina?”
"No, I will go. It is my duty to take risks."
Eclipse stepped forward again, this time with Lee Kyung-bok's help. But he, too, refused to accept it.
Instead of giving a long explanation, Lee Kyung-bok showed it through action.
“Eakle, you’re too big, so don’t worry.”
He ran forward lightly, waving his hands. With that, a barrier drone attached itself to his feet, forming a platform.
-WA! Superboard!
-Cheonma Gunlimbo ON!
-Oh my gosh lol I'm going to use this to draw aggro lol
-You were good at sandboarding in Japan, and you're also pretty good at airboarding, lol
-Is this the future of transportation? (Or not)
-Wow, this is going to be super fun
-King! You're trying to have fun by yourself!
Lee Kyung-bok narrowly avoided the suicide bombers and cornered them. The other members looked dizzy, but soon broke into laughter.
"Hah, since you're really the captain, there's no need to use consumables. The standard way to secure a safe zone is to set up a barrier generator in advance, right?"
“Oh, that’s a pretty good idea.”
"But that can only happen twice, right? Wow, Master, you really are⋯"
Preparations were complete amidst the collective sighs. Lee Kyung-bok successfully cornered all the suicide bombers.
“Captain! Come out now!”
“I’ll shoot you as soon as you come out!”
Despite the words of Genome and Decibel, who were waiting, Lee Kyung-bok did not come out.
“If you leave now, things will get messy again, so I’ll give you a signal!”
“Purple Sir?”
“No, Master! What about the remaining barrier level!?”
“If I do this wrong, it’ll be a team kill!?”
He didn't have enough power left to return, as he kept flying to collect the suicide bombers. While he waited for them to run out, the suicide bombers would scatter again, rendering the collection pointless.
"It's okay! I can just avoid it! Then I'll go!"
Of course, he had a plan. With that shout, Lee Gyeong-bok leaped over the suicide bombers, lifted the barrier, landed lightly, and ran.
“Shoot!”
“No, the real master is⋯!”
“Don’t miss this opportunity!”
“I don’t know!”
The members burst into laughter and launched attacks. In an instant, a barrage of light, plasma, and grenades flew in.
-Kyaa hahahahaha
-Evasion maneuvers ㅁㅊㄷㅁㅊㅇ
-What the heck lol What kind of action movie is this lol
-Is it too cliché to walk leisurely away from an explosion?
-Is this that blockbuster or something?
-to
-I can't stand clips!
None of them reached Lee Kyung-bok. Instead, the suicide bombers who were attacked set off a chain of explosions, spraying black fluid.
“Okay! Cut the board!”
“Wow! Isn’t this basically like there’s no penalty!?”
“Hmm! I guess I can show you my true abilities!”
Lee Kyung-bok smiled as he lightly adjusted the hem of his robe at the sight of the members rejoicing.
“I told you not to worry.”
But that joy was short-lived.
There was a violent shaking as if an earthquake had occurred.
“Eww! What the!?”
“Be careful!”
The minerals that had been piled up like a mountain began to pour down, and the altar began to rise from the ground.
Everyone sensed the change.
“I guess it’s finally showing itself.”
-What was hiding under the Paris bag?
-Ouch haha, going straight into phase 2
-There's not a single longboard? Is Fuzzy Day in top condition?
-Ah haha, just say it
-Immediately. Purge
-Waiting for Ssakparadas!
-Now, who should pay tribute?
The real boss battle started from now on.
