The 31st Piece Turns the Tables - Chapter 12
Episode 12
Kangseol clenched his fists as he watched Karuna’s body burn with moonlight.
‘How…did we get here?’
There are several ways to attack the Five Brothers. Among them, the method chosen by Kang Seol was the most difficult.
A way to divide the five brothers and make them fight.
The big picture was clear, but the conditions were quite difficult.
1. Use outcasts or other devices to sow chaos within the tribe.
2. Touch the rock fist, a sacred item of the tribe, to sow doubt in the hearts of the five brothers.
3. Make sure the strongest leader gets the Rock Fist.
4. Killing one of the brothers when the responsibility falls on the eldest, the chief. (You must set a goal by considering the curse you will receive. However, the second child is excluded from the goal.)
5. Now, if you stay still, the second child will persuade the brothers to rebel against the first child (except for the figures, the rivalry between the first and second children is fixed. This is a fixed event, but if the firstborn does not have a rock fist, the firstborn loses.)
6. Watch the firstborn win. (The reason why the eldest brother, not the 3 brothers, should win is because when he wins, he will be hit with the ‘grudge’ curse from the 3 brothers, making it easier to deal with him.) 7. When the
eldest brother is hit by the curse, defeat him.
All of these are things that Kangseol has been doing since midnight.
‘There is no hardship like this…’
The unexpected destruction of party members.
However, I came this far because it is an adventure where I can aim for the highest reward.
Now, that suffering will soon end.
The strategy he designed for the 5 brothers ended in 7 steps. And now I am taking the 7th course.
‘But there’s still a mountain to climb.’
Defeating Jamard.
The important thing here is that the first one with the rock fist is incredibly strong. So much so that party hunting is forced.
Moreover, Jammad is so powerful that Mael even warns him.
The characters of the five brothers in the initial basic adventure change each time, and the difficulty of this strategy is determined by the strength of the firstborn.
Perhaps Jamard will show strength beyond common sense.
Kang Seol’s hands tensed without realizing it.
‘How dare you rub that into a curse. Anyway, it should go as planned.’
Kang Seol’s thoughts ended there.
Now it was time to focus on the battle.
Because Jamad and Karuna just clashed.
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
“Kaaaa!”
“….”
Karuna, who was in a half-moon state, countered Jamard’s attack honestly.
Kwaaaaaaaa!
Chiik…
Karuna was only pushed back a few steps and didn’t seem to suffer any further damage.
‘At this level…’
It was proof that Karuna was capable of dealing with Jamad. In that case, you can leave Jamard to him.
Kwak-ga-ga-ga-gak!
The noise made when Karuna and Jamad collided was enough to reverberate throughout the entire area, but the tribe members were caught up in the madness and were unable to enter the venue.
‘I can fight with peace of mind because I couldn’t get close even when the brothers clashed.’
This was the reason why Kang Seol targeted the moment right after Jamaard killed the other brothers at the conference hall, rather than at any other time.
Jamard was now stranded with the snowfall on the top floor.
“How dare you aim for the rock tusks! “I’ll feed the corpse to the wild dogs!”
Let’s go!
Jamard mainly used primitive and straight attacks.
He was exhausted from the spell he wanted, and it was clear that he was trying to buy time to recover his magic power, but that was just Karuna’s fault.
Kaaaang!
Kang!
‘Damn… the penalty for summoning shadows is painful.’
Karuna was not weaker than Jammad.
I thought maybe Jamard, who doesn’t have a rock fist, and Karuna, who doesn’t have a penalty, would be like each other.
The problem was that Karuna’s ability was limited to 20% using low-level shadow summons, so even Jamard, who was exhausted from the grudge spell, could barely deal with it.
‘That doesn’t mean there isn’t a way, but… the timing…’
Jamard seemed to have figured out the extent of Karuna’s abilities, so he attacked even more frantically.
[Jammard switches to earthquake stance.]
Dedddddddddd!
Luckily, the spell was successful, and a huge amount of force emanated from Jamad’s body.
“Are you saying you only climbed the mountain with such strength?”
Jamard’s earthquake posture.
The ability to create vibrations by consistently consuming magical power.
It was an ability that Jammad unleashed when his stamina was consumed beyond a certain amount.
Whoa!
Ka-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga!
Karuna barely defended herself from Jamad’s fist.
Jamard launched an onslaught as if trying to break the Moonlight Sword.
Kaaaang!
Dudduddu!
Kaang!
Dude!
It seemed difficult for Karuna to deal with Jamad due to the vibrations radiating from the point of impact.
“Jamade is a mountain! “I will put everything under my feet!”
Kwa-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-gak!
Karuna tried to protect Snowfall but was pushed back again.
Jamard could not be defeated in the half-moon state.
‘That’s strange. It should be normal by now to be in a state of shock from the recoil of using the rock fist…’
This was something I confirmed while playing solo several times.
Based on his calculations and experience, it made no sense for Karuna, who was in a half-moon state, to continue to be pushed aside by Jamad.
‘Is something wrong? I missed something…’
Kang Seol looked back on the past process in a short period of time, but there was nothing particularly problematic.
This meant that there was a possibility that the problem occurred in the present rather than in the past.
Whoa!
There was only one difference between before and now.
Jamard’s very existence.
This happened because although Kang Seol has dealt with many eldest children, this is her first time dealing with Jamaard.
Jamard’s rock fist let out a loud roar.
Immediately after, his fist hit the ground.
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
“Kuh… Karuna!”
Kaaaang!
Kang!
Karuna knocked away all the rock fragments that were pushing towards Kangseol. As the Moonlight Sword let out a scream each time, I could feel that each rock fragment contained an enormous amount of experience.
‘Wait a minute, that rock fist…’
Kang Seol noticed that there was something strange about the rock fist.
A normal rock fist should be fully charged by now.
But for some reason, it continued to emit magical power.
“strength! “My whole body is full of energy!”
Probably so.
Rather than harassing Jamard with its recoil, the current rock fist continued to give him strength.
‘Oh my… how could this happen…’
In everything, there is a thing called probability.
In particular, the world of eternity was a worldview in which probability was very sensitive.
Just as Snowfall was able to obtain the Moon Seed, which she had never seen in 17 years of playing, when she played the Eternal World herself.
The ironic fate called probability causes players to fall.
‘The rock fist… blossomed into a mountain fist.’
A phrase written briefly in a setting book.
– Overview: Fist of the Mountain
「When the rock fist is filled with the energy of the earth, it blooms and becomes the Fist of the Mountain. “There are no other accurate records left about this object.”
An Easter egg that states that the rock fist receives the energy of the earth and exerts increased power.
Of course, something like that has never happened in 17 years. From Kang Seol’s perspective, not even once.
“This is why those who will work will become the ones who will, and those who will not will not…”
“Be crushed! ” “Invader!”
Quaaaang!
Kwaaaaang!
That was the fist of the mountain, a flowering fist of rock.
The moment Kang Seol realized something was strange, the situation had already happened.
‘Shall I run away? ‘Is there any option left for me now?’
Experience is Snowfall’s most powerful weapon.
Now, that experience was useless.
Kwakagagak!
Kwakagak!
“I’ll crush you and crush you!”
Jamard was furiously driving Kangseol to death as if he didn’t care about the curse or the reaction of forcibly drawing on the power of a divine creature.
Snowfall muttered with empty pupils in front of the fear of death.
“Karuna! Danger….”
Quagga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga!
Kwaaaaang!
Jamard’s attack sent Kangseol and Karuna flying far away.
“Keoheook….”
Kangseol’s vision went black for an instant due to the strong impact of being thrown into the wall.
* * *
Among the five players watching the game board was Snowfall.
However, when I looked at the game board, the situation was not good.
“Snowman, let’s run away.”
“Okay… let’s run away. I can’t break this. “Let’s just throw in a few horses and let those that can survive live.”
“….”
Kang Seol remembered this time.
I don’t remember his exact age, but he was very young.
A memory from when the legend of the Snowman had not yet ripened.
The party members were in danger because of their mistakes, and it was a moment when, as a leader, you had to decide what to do.
‘What was I thinking at this time? ah! I remembered…’
I feel sorry for the horses.
It’s so pitiful to die like this.
I’ve been working hard the whole time.
The delicate child probably thought something like this.
“Snowman….”
“I won’t run away.”
“why? You can’t win this? All it takes is a few horses dying…”
“No, not a few horses. We all worked hard to get to this point…”
“We’re okay…”
“That’s not true. “I’m not talking about players.”
“…then?”
“word. “How did the horses get here? They can’t die in vain like this.”
“…ha. “Just because of words?”
“…That’s reckless.”
Snowman is reckless.
However, all players who had played with him even once wanted to play with him again. His judgment was always accurate and he never thought the horse’s life was in vain.
I really played like a person living in that world.
“…I could?”
“There is still a way.”
Snowman had a formula that wasn’t a formula.
Crisis comes to everyone, anytime, anywhere, without reason.
What horse would die first in such a crisis?
‘A horse that doesn’t fight. A horse that runs away….’
You can’t win because you don’t fight, and you can’t win if you run away.
The reason Snowman’s words always created miracles was because they faced crisis.
“Fucking good! “Can you please save us?”
“Snowman please!”
“Sir… I’ll fight too, Snowman!”
A woman wearing a spear and shield mask spoke to the Snowman.
“Then choose your option, Snowman.”
“number 3. “I swing my sword and aim for the giant Jur’s ankle.”
“Really… will Snowman’s sword strike be able to save his comrades? The probability is expected to be very low….”
Rumble.
The dice roll.
As always, wearing the mask of probability, we ask about fate.
“The dice are rolling. “May a miracle happen to you.”
He was snapped out of his flashback before checking the dice’s eyes.

Kaaaaaaaa!

However, Karuna’s shadow had holes here and there. It seemed like I had faced several crises.
“I’ll put an end to it now…”
Jamard’s momentum was actually getting stronger.
The situation, which I thought would just end, became more and more serious.
Dudduddu!
[Jamade prepares for a landslide.]
‘Landslide!’
A technique used by Jamard with all his magical power.
If you get caught up in it, you will definitely die.
Stop.
Kang Seol forcibly held on to his body as it tried to run away.
And I calmly concentrated my mind.
‘Total damage from the earthquake-like landslide… I wonder if Karuna was fighting in a half-moon state… Around 5 minutes…’ If you
stop thinking, you’ll die.
‘How fucking long have you been passed out? You need to know the time…’
At that time, good news was delivered, as if Kang Seol had been waiting for him to find her.
Chijijijijiji!
Huaaaaaaaa!
[Karuna has entered the third stage of the moonlight full moon.]
Karuna’s armor shone with brilliant moonlight. That was the scene at the Forgotten Ruins of the Moon.
“it’s okay!”
Kwa-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-gak!
Jamard’s landslide is almost complete.
The sharp rocky mountain shook greatly.
“Look! “This is a mountain!”
[Jamard’s Landslide activates.]
“Karuna!”
Karuna raised his sword to the sky and drew in the moonlight.
His armor emitted a fierce blue light.
‘It’s not enough and you’ll be swept away by a landslide!’
That lack must be made up.
Jamard laughed at him for trying.
“Hahahaha! Be crushed by Tancred’s power!”
Kang Seol quickly pulled out the skills he had been saving to use when faced with an unexpected crisis.
“…I haven’t lost yet!”
Huuuuuung-!
A cool energy began to radiate from Kang Seol’s body.
[The volatile ability Moon Stage is used.]
[The curtain rises on the Moon Stage.]
[The main character is chosen.]
SssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssZZZZ howeveri
for the peaks of the sharp rock mountains. .
And the one who shined brightest in that light was by far Karuna.
Faaah!
[The main character is Karuna, the moonlight knight.]
[While the moonlight is shining, all of Karuna’s abilities increase by 50%.]
[Those who are not the main characters are asked to leave the stage.] [
While the moonlight is shining, Karuna’s abilities increase by 50%. All of their abilities except mine are reduced by 20%.]
What little strength was drained from the body of the supporting character, Snowfall.
And Jamard, another supporting character, was surprised by the power rapidly leaving his body, but quickly completed the spell.
“what!”
‘If we do this… we can overcome the landslide!’
After finishing the calculation, Kangseol showed his teeth and smiled reassuringly.
“Don’t lose, Karuna!”
[Karuna uses the Full Moon Crush.]
[The abilities are sufficient. [Full Moon Slash is improved to full Moon Light Slash.]
Karuna quietly recited and slashed his sword.
“The moon has risen…be humble…”
A tremendous amount of light emanated from his moonlight sword.
Karuna’s soft words echoed through the peak with a roar.
“Now I will carry out my will.”
Huaaaaaaaa!
Quaaaaaaaaa!
Countless rock fragments collided with a light so intense that it could be seen from anywhere on the sharp rock mountain.
Ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-gak!
Let’s go!
What if the calculation is wrong?
Landslide, earthquake readiness, even the fist of the mountain.
Were all calculations accurate?
But the choice has already been made and the die has been cast.
‘Please…please…’
“Kwaaaaaaa!”
Ga-ga-ga-ga-gak!
Kwazijic!
Huge crash sound.
Karuna’s momentum was great, but Jamard’s opponent was also tremendous.
A great tremor was felt throughout the mountain.
The ground on which the snowfall had fallen also trembled accordingly.
The roar and dust lasted for nearly 30 seconds.
It was caused by aftershocks, which were a side effect of the landslide.
Kwakagagak!
What was the result?
The snowfall waited for the dust to settle.
Sssssssssssssssss.
And soon the battlefield cleared of dust unfolded before his eyes.
