The 31st Piece Turns the Tables - Chapter 108
Episode 108
Kwaaaaang-!
Dead hunters scattered here and there.
Since each of them was lying down with an expression as if they didn’t even know what had hit them, I could tell that the opponent was a very capable person.
However, even such a strong being could not deal with all enemies.
“Cough…cough…”
“You’re weak, witch.”
“Haha… for health reasons.”
Several arrows were stuck in Mirei’s body.
The battle was her defeat.
Dir, the hunting dog, walked out of the forest.
Crrrrr…
Those teeth that left scars on her several times were the ruthless companions of Malachus.
Soon Malachus, Dir’s master, appeared.
He seemed confident enough to calmly appear on the battlefield even though he was blind.
His gray-white glass eyes were dead.
“That dog… I see. “You were quite a contradictory child, too.”
“You’d better shut your mouth. “If you want to breathe a little longer.”
“Haha… It hurts so bad… Couldn’t you have treated me more gently?”
“…Where is he?”
“… I don’t know what you’re talking about?”
“Don’t think about cheating. It definitely smelled like a shadow. “Is he here?”
“Are you not planning on being satisfied with me?”
“Answer me.”
“….”
“Answer me or this dagger will pierce your heart.”
“Stab.”
“… what?”
“Stab me, you coward. Poke my heart 100 times. “I tell you.”
Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
became so sensitive that she could sense what kind of intention Malachus was approaching her with.
‘Is this the end? The research also failed. I guess it was too much, Sodin. Sorry.’
It was clear that she would die here and the snowfall beyond the wall would also die. A lifetime of research will end here in vain.
‘No, I have to buy time. ‘You can’t just give me my life!’
I thought I should buy some time before I die.
“Hey Malachus.”
“….”
“I have a question, you know? Are villains supposed to talk loudly when they get a chance to kill the main character? “Be faithful to your duty.”
“I am not a villain.”
“Haha… You’ve already killed me once and you’re still saying things like that. “Is self-objectification really bad?”
“I am not a villain.”
Malachus turned his head in Mirei’s direction.
“I am the judge.”
“Referee? “Judgement for what?”
“… you.”
“what?”
“You shadow summoners.”
“What did we do wrong? No, that’s not it. “What are you saying that I did wrong?”
“Your existence. “That in itself is wrong.”
“Haha, it’s completely twisted. Why did you think like that? “Have you… suffered something from a shadow summoner?”
A flinch…
came the reaction.
Like a fisherman who noticed a bite, Mirei didn’t miss the moment and dug in.
“I think it has something to do with those eyes… or resentment… or something like that?”
“… It has nothing to do with you. “With you, who is weaker than me.”
Malachus’ eyeballs groped Mirei.
A haggard look.
Eyes that are even more cloudy than that.
The eyes of those who live solely to achieve their goals.
Those eyes were the eyes of someone who had castrated a life for no other purpose.
But then.
Ujijijijik….
“It was there.”
“Damn it…”
The tree house made a strange noise, and Malachus realized that someone was there.
The snowfall was definitely there.
Slurp…
thud… thud…
“I will cut off your lifeline and kill you too.”
“… Then what gets better?”
“Rest… my weary life can approach rest.”
“Crazy guy.”
Malachus came to Mirei’s side. Now they are close enough to hear each other’s breathing.
Mirei did not avoid Malachus’ gaze.
It wasn’t like Mirei would react if she looked at her like this anyway, but she just didn’t want to ignore death.
“Goodbye witch… hm?”
Whoop…
whoop… Dir,
the clever hound, came up and stopped Malachus from doing so.
“Why are you doing this, Dir?”
Something felt strange.
Twisting… Twisting…
“… Dir?”
Dir thrust his head towards Malachus.
It was like a desperate struggle to let people know that they had to get out of this place quickly.
An alarm bell rang in Malachus’ mind.
“damn!”
Pot-!
Malachus retreated in an instant, and soon the situation that Dir had warned about unfolded.
Kwahiah ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!
The entire wooden house exploded with a huge explosion sound.
And the lyrics induction device inside it was revealed.
Patter!
“Uh … uh … I’m scared … I’m scared …”
Malakus shook his head on the ground and sheds a seizure.
Since he was blind, he couldn’t tell what was going on, and he could only hear tinnitus constantly in his ears.
Even so, there was something strange about that reaction.
Mirei couldn’t figure out why Malachus was reacting like that, but she decided it was an opportunity.
And then I looked back at the place where the treehouse was.
Pussssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssvssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
even even though the walls had once been the wall, and two chained beings were seen.
Beep!
Beep!
The red light on the lyrics guidance device continued to flash and a warning sound sounded.
Mirei shouted after seeing that.
“… was it successful?”
* * *
I feel like I have passed through a dark tunnel. Snowfall has now passed the final hurdle.
Sigh…
Sigh…
He and Jamard were tied up in chains.
For some reason, I was clearly inside a tree house, but when I opened my eyes, the walls and ceiling were all gone.
‘Let’s focus.’
Putting the minor problem aside, he continued to concentrate.
[You are in the area of influence in a place where there is no light.]
[Shadows cannot be summoned.]
Whirring!
Whirling!
Karuna and Karen returned to the shadow space.
The Malachus I met back then must be here. But this too was a minor problem.
Now was the most important moment.
Jjijijijijijijiji!
Black veins and black eyes.
The snowfall conditions were unusual.
It was then.
Whiiiiiii.
“Kaaaaaa!”
Snowfall let out an evil scream.
The veins protruding from his neck and the chain shaking showed that something unusual was happening.
– Monga… Monga is waking up…
– I woke up at dawn. what’s the matter?
– Snowman seems to be escaping.
– Haha but what is that!
– Crazy;; But what do you think is wrong?
– Isn’t it going to explode like this?
– Then you can’t!
“… oh my god.”
Mirei looked at that and muttered in disbelief.
ping!
Peeeeee!
ping!
The chains were breaking one by one.
The chains that bound Jamad were still the same, but the chains that bound Kang Seol were broken.
There were no changes for Jamard either. At some point, he turned into water and escaped through a gap in the chain, heading towards Kang Seol.
“Success… Sodin’s success…”
At the same time, Snowfall’s appearance also changed.
My entire body was stained black as if it were covered in chestnuts.
“Finally….”
Sssssssuk.
The shadows even began to cover Snowfall’s face.
Phew.
Snowfall became a black man.
Was he eaten by the shadow?
Cheeeeeeeek-!
A fire monkey pattern was drawn on Kang Seol’s face.
Purga’s grace remains.
However, the pattern was not the same either.
It melted and came down to the corner of Snowfall’s mouth.
A golden glow was flowing from his eyes, and on the corner of his mouth was a tattoo symbolizing Jamard’s fangs made by melting the pattern of Purga.
Patter…
Ping! Piiiiing!
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Finally, the chains burst.
A huge number of messages came to Kang Seol’s mind.
A burning body of snow.
He checked the first message that came to mind.
[Breakthrough the wall of enlightenment.]
[Enlightenment! Awakening new abilities.]
[Season: Awakening the night raven.]
[Season: The night raven is born!]
[Achieving the first achievement, ‘My Path.’]
[Achieving the first title, ‘The One Who Walks Alone’ ]
[Achieve the special achievement ‘Infinite Path’.]
[Obtain the special title ‘Master of Shadow’.]
The messages continued to come up.
[Takes the form of the shaman ‘Jammard of the Volcano’ and a night raven.]
[Absorbs the abilities of ‘Jammard of the Volcano’.]
[Profession: Fighter.]
[Shadow hand is affected by strength. ]
[You can use Volcano Armor.]
[You can use Volcano Stance.]
[Passive: You can use Transfer Flame.]
[Passive: You can use Heat and Warmth.]
The birth of a season.
Snowfall only imagined that she would inherit the season, but never dreamed that she would become the owner of the new season.
‘Aaaaaaa’ sponsored Madness by 1000!
[10 points… 10 points…]
– Combination… Combination!
– All armored vehicles enthusiasts support this.
– The shadows know this.
– Are you ready, Ja?
– Of course, snow!
‘Jeolgi’ sponsored Madness by 700!
[A season comes out here? A night crow? Hahaha, my heart, don’t show off.]
– My blood… my blood is boiling! The blood on this body!
– Bubble Bubble
– … Are there any cool sound effects other than the delicious ones? Not something like stew.
– Eom Seong… Then
Kang Seol turned his gaze and looked at the situation.
The first thing that caught my eye was Mirei.
“Miray.”
“Like a hedgehog? Hahaha… First of all, can you please knock down that bastard in the forest?”
“… All right.”
Snowfall headed to the forest where Malachus was hiding.
Crrrrrrr…
“The scent of the shadow is strong. Did it end up being eaten?”
Kang Seol secretly looked at her changed body and answered:
“I like it, but what about you?”
The fang symbol opened and words came out.
“This feeling of moving flesh and bones… It’s been a while. “I am also satisfied.”
Malachus’ bewildered voice came from the forest.
“A terrible being has been born. I will save you from that terrible life.”
Kangseol asked Jamad.
“Is it terrible?”
“It’s a damn good life.”
Pot-!
Pot-!
Crrrrrrr…
I could feel the presence in many places.
Malachus started hunting.
“This movement… I’ve felt it before, but it’s not an ordinary living thing.”
“I know.”
“snowfall. How do you feel? “It’s best to leave this guy to this body.”
Jamard spoke in a vague tone, but it was Jamard who was accustomed to close combat, not Kangseol.
Kang Seol nodded.
At that moment, the presence felt in many places diminished to both sides, but did not diminish further.
Wow!
‘Right…or left?’
Before Kang Seol could make a decision, Jamard moved his body. Feeling awkward. This is what it would feel like to have my body moved by someone else.
Huh…
whoo!
Kieeeenn!
Ujijik!
Wow!
A light touch.
Dir flew away, destroying the tree with just that.
Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss-!
However, Malachus’ arrow aimed at that gap flew. The hunter and the hound were great comrades in arms.
“hmm?”
If things continue like this, multiple arrows will be allowed on the back.
but.
Whirling-!
Pop!
grasp!
Pop!
All three arrows were captured.
Snowfall, who had become a night raven, stood still, but his shadow hand came out from his back and snatched the arrow.
The accuracy to catch all three arrows and the strength to hold the arrows.
The shadow hand has also changed so that it cannot be ignored anymore.
After enlightenment, Kang Seol became something incomparable to before.
“Wow, that’s pretty cool.”
Jamard praised Kang Seol’s reaction.
Although Jamad was the one who struck Dir right now, it was Snowfall who swung the shadow hand.
There was a moment of silence from beyond the forest, and Malachus’ voice came through.
“This… this power… what are you?”
Kang Seol asked back.
“me?”
The fang symbol was excited.
“Or us?”
