The 31st Piece Turns the Tables - Chapter 102

Episode 102

Chao’s urgent voice shattered the peace in front of the bonfire.

“Hurry! what are you doing?”

“If a pursuer comes, wouldn’t it be okay to fight instead of running away?”

Since Kang Seol didn’t know what she was being chased by, she thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to witness their identity and the power they possessed through this conflict.

‘Since we have to solve the adventure anyway, there is no harm in accumulating information in advance.’

Kang Seol was confident.

There are as many as three legendary level summons.

In addition, due to various reasons, I thought that I could not be defeated by anyone with my current military force.

That idea was further confirmed by the complete collapse of the Fire Temple.

He couldn’t be defeated.

That was a cool analysis.

‘Moreover, even if it’s dangerous, it’s okay if I get rid of it.’

It made no sense that Snowfall’s powerful summons could not even give him time to escape.

Therefore, he took this into consideration when speaking to Chao.

But what came back was Chao’s bewildered expression and her action of forcing Kangseol to stand up.

“That’s stupid! Are you going to die here? “The pursuer is a shadow hunter!”

“Shadow Hunter?”

Shadow Hunter.

It was a group that also had memories of hearing about snowfall.

In the eternal world of Pandea, players had many basic classes to choose from, but there were also many more hidden classes.

And in addition to visible differences such as abilities and abilities, there were other invisible differences between the jobs.

For example, the fact that for each profession, there are groups that are close or conflicting in worldview, such as friendly relationships or conflicting relationships.

The Inquisitor had a very close relationship with the church, but was in constant conflict with the fanatics, and the wizard had a bad relationship with the mechanical engineers.

Like this, there were many conflicts in the profession, and Shadow Summoner was no exception.

‘If you’re a shadow hunter…’

A group that hates shadows, especially shadow summoners.

According to Pandea’s sentiments, pulling out the shadows of corpses and using them as servants was itself considered an evil form of witchcraft.

Most people just despise them, but shadow hunters hunt shadow summoners.

This was all Kang Seol knew.

‘Because I never collided.’

So, Kang Seol did not know what shadow hunters meant to shadow summoners.

Is that why?

Chao’s hyper-vigilant reaction raised a sense of foreboding from the snowfall.

‘This… is dangerous.’

Chao shouted to Kang Seol.

“If you understand, run now! Go west! See you there! If both of them survive safely….”

Snowfall ran without delay.

Soon, someone was heard shouting from afar.

“The witch is running away! Catch it!”

This meant that the pursuer was quite close, so Kang Seol did not stop running without even looking back.

Pot-!

His excessively high abilities no longer make him look like a caster.

Sasak…

Phat!

The way he casually made his way through the bushes seemed like a job based on agility. No one would look at him now and think he was a summoner.

Kang Seol was a person who did what he had to do.

I told him to run, so he ran.

I didn’t stop walking until I was out of breath.

“Huh… huh…”

His physical strength was now greater than that of most warriors or knights, so the fact that he was panting meant that he had already covered a considerable distance.

“Haa… haa… everyone….”

Hwieeee…

the night wind was strong.

As the cold air flowed into his lungs, he came to his senses and continued speaking.

“Whoa… whoa… where has everyone gone?”

Jamard and the Twin Knights.

Apparently, after talking, they started running together and disappeared after a while.

Have we returned to the shadow space?

Kang Seol felt puzzled about their behavior as they returned without telling him.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

! Wow!

“Damn it.”

The chase continued.

The sound of that hunting dog has been chasing me ever since.

Even if you think you’ve been left out, it catches up with you after a while.

The pursuit was so persistent that I suspected it might be magic.

‘I guess I’ll have to shake it off.’

Since the summons are fine, you should be able to get rid of the hunting dogs quickly.

Whoa…

Kang Seol gathered strength in her hands as she ran.

The dark energy immediately condensed into his hand and headed toward the shadow space.

But what it brought was not Karuna or Karen Jamard, but only despairing news.

[You are in the area of influence in a place without light.]

[Shadows cannot be summoned.]

“… What?”

– That’s stupid! Are you going to die here? The pursuer is a shadow hunter!

The reason Chao issued an urgent warning.

– This adventure is a dangerous one.

The reason why this adventure was not an easy one.

A lot of that was implied in the sentence that just came to mind.

“Hehehe… why don’t you keep running away?”

Only the pursuer’s voice could be heard from afar.

A warning light turned on in Snow’s head.

‘This… is dangerous.’

Snowfall did not hesitate.

If the speed wasn’t enough to outrun the chase, being faster would have been enough.

Snowfall kicked the heel of her left foot with her right foot.

Pot-!

pop-!

[Crisis escape activates.]

[Movement speed increases significantly for a short period of time.]

The boots of a lifetime exist for moments like this.

Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss-!

The snowfall moved through the forest like an arrow several times faster than before.

His speed was so incredible that all the monsters he encountered along the way were unable to react to the speed of the snowfall.

“Haa… haa….”

Suddenly, an old memory came to mind.

I remember the first time I fell on Pandea before I got Karuna.

I broke through the ruins with nothing but my bare body, wit, and the knowledge of Pandea.

“Whoa… whoo…”

And I got a powerful summon.

The victories continued.

Powerful summons continued to come into his arms and they continued to grow stronger.

But looking at it like this, it was like standing still.

He had powerful summons, but without them, he was just as weak as before.

‘I can’t deal with the Shadow Hand alone.’

To even consider going head-to-head with the Shadow Hunters like this was nothing short of crazy.

Just keep running.

It seemed like no saliva was coming out of his mouth anymore. Only gasping breaths escaped from my dry mouth.

and.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

also.

I heard that damn hunting dog sound again.

“Hehehe… kid, you’re good. This is my first time seeing you, so I’ll hunt you down later. Do you know where the woman you were with went to? “Yes, Mirei.”

For a moment, Kang Seol could not believe her ears.

‘Miray? ‘Mirei?’

The name of the woman who was with Kang Seol was Chao. However, the hunter is looking for ‘Miray’.

Even in the confusing situation, Kang Seol felt that the name Mirei was somehow unfamiliar.

‘Miray! Mirei is excommunicated!’

A woman driven out of Gregory’s territory.

She was not one of Gregory’s many disciples. He was one of Gregory’s three favorite students.

‘Gregory’s third disciple Mirei!’

Kang Seol unconsciously cast his gaze in the direction where the name Mirei was mentioned.

Soon the insight eye caught the opponent and read the information.

[Blind Malachus]

Grade: Hero

Estimated level: 20~24

Malachus hunts shadow summoners.

He is convinced that ministering to shadows is wrong, and this has to do with the misfortunes he experienced as a child.

He is accompanied by his trusty hunting dog, Dir.

Malachus and Dir are a nightmare for shadow summoners.

Basic abilities: [Footprint tracking 1] [Wild vision 1] [Incapacitating shot 2] [Real pain 1] [Nocturnal 2]

Special abilities: [Animal sense of smell 2] [Where there is no light 3]

‘Where there is no light It was because of that.’

Wow! Wow!

He found the only thing he could do in a chaotic situation.

After all, it’s just running.

“Give up, kid. You will only die more painfully. “Quietly give your head to Malachus.”

Kang Seol didn’t react much to him and ran away. Even if you make an effort to talk to them, it won’t save you, so you will only lose strength.

At that time, Kang Seol felt a cold energy and turned around.

Pot-!

“Ugh…”

Something grazed my earlobe.

It seemed like it was an arrow.

[Affected by Malachus’ neutralizing shot.]

[The Ring of Grace is activated.]

[The disabling curse is deflected.]

“Hoo! Did you have that kind of talent? But there is no next time.”

Crrrrr…

“Bite off Dir’s neck.”

Wow!

Wow!

A large wild boar, or rather a black hunting dog the size of a wild boar, jumped out of the darkness.

‘This time… it’s going to be difficult.’

I wasn’t giving up, but it seemed like it would be difficult to block the attack without taking any damage. Even if we were attacked here, we should never give up our necks.

With a solemn heart, Snowfall defended her neck with one arm as Dir charged at her.

In the worst case scenario, prepare to lose an arm.

It was then.

Quaaaaang-!

Someone quickly came up to Kang Seol’s side and kicked Dir.

Kieenn… Kieeeng…

“Ugh… As expected, Mirei. “You’ve been looking for it for a while.”

“Ah… I’m so sick of it. I’m tired of this popularity. But you can’t hang around like this. “I’m not your type.”

“Tsk tsk tsk kid. Mirei saved you.”

“Are you all tired already? “There is still no romance, Marcus.”

“Did you think you could hide your whole life, Mirei?”

Chao No, the woman whose identity was no longer certain saved Kang Seol.

“Chao, did you trick me?”

“Haha sorry. But I didn’t deceive you on purpose. “You were the one who came and begged me in the first place.”

“Mirei… Isn’t Mirei Gregory’s third disciple?”

“Yes, you know me well. “Then you know that I was excommunicated from him.”

“yes.”

“Haha… what are you going to do, Malachus? Thanks to you, my identity has become clear. “The sense of mystery has evaporated.”

Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssss-

Malachus sent an arrow instead of answering.

Pak-!

And Mirei grabbed the arrow without any hesitation.

“This doesn’t work.”

Kang Seol was both impressed and puzzled.

‘Are you a summoner?’

A summoner who catches an arrow fired by a hunter with his bare hands. Something was strange.

“Look back at yourself, Mirei. “Your appearance… Other hunters will arrive here now.”

“Oh my, you’re so scared. But what? “I wasn’t playing either, was I?”

“what?”

Taaaak-!

Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssuuuuuu…

She snapped her fingers and suddenly a black mist rose.

[Mirei uses black fog.]

“Oh… black fog! Were there still any left? “I knew I would miss it!”

“Haha, you’ll miss it. “Anyway, unless I get close, the smell and sound will disappear.”

“Damn it!”

Seuuuuu…

Thanks to this, even the snowfall was able to disappear into the black fog.

Mirei put her index finger to her lips to signal to be quiet and then carefully left the scene.

However, Malachus, who had just missed Mirei, suddenly spoke to Snowfall, who was hiding in the fog.

“Hey kid. “You are being deceived by that witch.”

Since I knew about Snowfall, I wanted to shout at him to shut up, but if I did that, the black fog would be useless, so I didn’t react and just walked.

“That witch is deceiving you! How dare humans! “You are deceiving humans!”

What on earth does this mean?

Mirei’s complexion hardened.

“She is already dead! Mirei is definitely dead! “I saw my arrow pierce her heart!”

Kangseol didn’t understand what nonsense Malachus was talking about, but when he saw Mirei’s hand holding him gaining strength, he felt something.

‘Your body… is black?’

Her hands were blacker than those of about a dozen people, and her neck, glimpsed through the hood, was pitch black.

Malachus shouted.

“She is a shadow! “You’re already dead!”
