The 31st Piece Turns the Tables - Chapter 132
Episode 132
This was a long time ago.
“I’m awake!”
“Wow… you’re awake!”
“Finn is really great….” All
the surrounding players who heard the news about the snowfall on the game board came running.
“You broke the labyrinth of penance?”
“This… was it possible?”
“How many of my words have been eaten!”
“pin! “It’s Finn!”
Until now, the labyrinth of penance had never been broken through.
No matter how much the ability level increased, the mind-shattering ruins like the Labyrinth of Asceticism were too much for even strong horses.
Moreover, it was considered a foolish act to put a raised horse into the maw of a labyrinth where it was at risk of death.
Meanwhile, the gods were surprised when Snowfall finally broke through the labyrinth.
“The blood of the beginning is definitely amazing….”
“You haven’t even fully awakened yet, right?”
“Snowman must have done a good job, didn’t he?”
“What will come out? What will come out? What will come out?”
“Let’s be quiet…”
A labyrinth of asceticism that has never been conquered. What treasures can you find there?
“uh? But this…”
[Finn Modria’s quirk: A strong sense of goodness comes into play.] [
Finn Modria ignores the options and acts.]
[Behavior is influenced by his usual disposition.]
“Uh. … uh?”
“ruined! “Finn…”
While Kang Seol kept his mouth shut and watched the results, the gods started talking as they wanted.
“Soul liberation?”
“it’s crazy!”
“If you do this, you’ll lose all your rewards!”
Whirling…
the sound effect of the soul’s blessing continues.
Everyone withheld judgment for a moment due to the feast of countless additional abilities.
“uh? Still, with this much additional ability….”
“No, if you had chosen a magical beast, do you know what I would have given you?”
“Even if only the shepherd was chosen….”
“The liberation of the soul must be lost. “It’s because of this eccentricity…”
“Why go through all that trouble…”
“Everyone, be quiet, Snowman, you’re trembling.”
Snowfall was not angry or irritated. For him, the current situation was somewhat predictable.
‘I thought so…’
Finn was special.
The primordial blood that Finn obtained was something that he obtained by chance thanks to his noble nature, so it was not necessarily a loss due to his eccentricity.
‘… Why?’
Why did Finn make this choice? Kang Seol was curious about that.
In the end, it was Finn who went through the hardships, not him, so he didn’t feel any different when Finn made an odd choice.
I’m just curious.
Therefore, Kang Seol quietly watched his actions.
[Fin Modria rips the hem of his clothes.]
[Fin Modria carves something into the hem of his clothes.]
[Wraps something with the hem and puts it into the Harvester’s Lantern.]
[The Harvester’s Lantern returns to its original state.]
But it snows . A situation occurred that made me feel embarrassed.
“uh?”
“… What are you doing?”
“check! “Check it out quickly!”
“What’s missing?”
Snowfall opened her mouth after checking Finn’s belongings.
“… doesn’t exist.”
“what?”
“I don’t have anything?”
“It’s gone…”
An item has disappeared from one’s belongings. It was something that should never be lost.
“There is no original blood!”
* * *
Snowfall unwrapped the cloth that Finn had left behind and checked what was inside.
‘Finally confirming it.’
What on earth is written in this letter?
– Finn Modria leaves a note to the Ascetic. If you have found this letter, you have probably reached the end of the Labyrinth of Asceticism and liberated the souls trapped within the Harvester’s Lantern.
Finn left this letter with a specific target in mind.
– First of all, I would like to express my gratitude. Because of your actions, countless souls trapped in the labyrinth will have regained their freedom. According to nature and according to their wishes.
The content wasn’t very long.
– Guiding those who are lost is valuable in itself, but your good deed must be rewarded. For that reason, I am leaving my items here.
Kang Seol stopped reading the letter and checked the small crystal vial.
A red liquid that fills about 1/3 of the vial and is flowing.
– It is the blood of the beginning. Originating Blood is an item that can greatly increase the power of blood flowing in the body. If the user works hard, his/her true value will gradually be revealed.
This vial was originally full of primordial blood. The person who took more than half of the dose was Finn, the original owner.
– But unfortunately, it is not a flawless power. The process of taking the primordial blood is extremely painful and lengthy. Also… there are side effects.
‘Side effects?’
Kang Seol’s eyes widened as she heard this for the first time in her life.
How can Snowfall know everything that happens on the game board?
Because everything that happened on the game board was conveyed through interface messages.
– The more you become addicted to the blood of origin, the more someone’s will invades your mind. The meaning is good but evil, like a very young child. If the person who obtains this object loses focus and becomes encroached upon by its meaning, there will be dire consequences. I also… couldn’t dare to touch the last remaining primordial blood. Since then, I have been thinking about what to do with this item.
‘… It was like that.’
I didn’t know about snowfall.
What kind of problems was Finn experiencing due to the Blood of Origin?
– And after going through this labyrinth, I decided. I decided to leave this item here.
“….”
– I hoped to obtain this item one day, when someone with an indomitable spirit conquered the Labyrinth and freed all the souls. Please use it with care. And…
boom!
Snowfall blew off the specially treated caps of glass vials. And without hesitation, I drank the contents inside.
Suddenly…
a bitter taste fills my mouth.
A very strong scent came out from all parts of the body, including the nose, ears, and mouth.
My whole body started to feel hot.
– I hope I can meet you someday.
That was the end of Finn’s letter, and Snowfall dropped the cloth used for the letter.
Tap…
clunk!
“Ouch…”
Park Chang-sik looked at Snowfall with surprised eyes and took a step back.
“That… that…”
Kang Seol’s body rose slightly into the air.
Snowfall, unable to hold back her moans any longer, screamed.
“Kwaaaah!”
Crunch… clunk…
it was a strange thing.
Snowfall’s missing right arm began to regenerate.
The sticky red mucus twisted together like threads, forming a lump. And it gradually took the shape of an arm.
[I accepted the blood of the beginning.]
[The blood of the beginning stirs the body.]
[The blood of the beginning turns the body into a perfect state.]
Cheeeeee… It snows
, spewing out a red haze like blood with a will. He created an arm, and as if that wasn’t enough, the bad energy inside his body spewed out.
“Uuuuuu…”
Park Chang-sik was horrified, covered his nose, and walked further away from Kang-seol. There was a smell around Snowfall that made me feel like it would be dangerous if I breathed that air.
Wood-dud-duk…
“Kwaaaaaak!”
There was a sound as if Snowfall’s bones were being reassembled.
[The body returns to purity.]
[The primordial blood is satisfied and expands its territory.]
And the moment I felt that it had stabilized to some extent, a second shock was delivered.
Kuung…
“Kuhhuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuisss!s wasssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss for forewords
, whistling… whistling…
A long shadow stretched out behind the snowfall.
They were Karen, Karuna, and Jamad.
They each suffered from being connected to the snowfall and red lines.
“Kuhuhuhuhuhhh….”
“Kwaaaaaak!”
“Aaaahhh!”
[enlightenment! Awakens a new ability.]
[Passive: Awakens a blood relative.]
[All beings belonging to a blood relative have their life force absorption increased by 10% when there is another blood relative nearby. There is no overlap.]
Gulp… Gulp…
The red line connecting the snowfall and the summoned animals gurgled, blood flowing out.
[enlightenment! Awakens new abilities.]
[Continuous: Awakens the progenitor.]
[Forms a lineage. The body’s recovery speed increases rapidly.]
[Enlightenment! Awakens a new ability.]
[Continuous: Awakens an excellent lineage.]
[A being that inherits the blood of the ancestor has all stats increased by 20%.]
Whirring!
As soon as the snowfall summons inherited their bloodline abilities, they returned to the shadows.
“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu her her…”
Snow herb with bloodshot eyes slowly fell to the ground.
[The blood of the beginning flows into the ability tree.]
[New abilities are unlocked in the ability tree.]
“Haa…”
Snow sighs softly.
After he got down to the floor, he wiggled his bare right arm. There seemed to be no problem with his arm moving properly as he intended.
‘Amunde’ sponsored Madness by 1000!
[Weren’t you using a prosthetic hand? I was expecting a human body transformation…]
– I had no arms, but I got them again.
– After washing the dishes, I got an arm that wasn’t there before?
– Come out, the all-purpose gadget arm!
– What kind of product is it that has such effects as soon as you drink it?
– For a moment I couldn’t believe my eyes;;
– Isn’t it a scam?
[The Originating Blood falls asleep as if satisfied.]
[The special achievement ‘Sea of Blood’ is achieved.]
[The special title “Progenitor” is obtained.]
“Huh…”
The Originating Blood was an ability that could be developed. .
Just as Finn tamed the original blood and created countless seasons, the current effect was not the end.
‘Still, he’ll be asleep for a while…’
Snowfall looked at the harvester’s lantern. Now that place was empty.
He looks alternately at the empty lamp and the empty medicine bottle.
‘If I didn’t know that the blood of origin was there… would I have chosen the option of soul liberation?’
– And while living, if possible, do good deeds sometimes.
Toki’s words hit Kang Seol’s heart like a thorn, and no one can know the outcome of something that hasn’t happened yet.
“Ha…”
Next is the title obtained by overcoming this labyrinth.
[Special Title: Godfather]
Related Achievements: Anything like this (Adventure: Sharing the Pain)
Special Ability: Mental Magic Resistance die always has an additional value of 2.
[Special Title: Progenitor]
Related Achievements: Bloodbath (Adventure: Sharing the Pain)
Special Ability: Bloodline development speed increases by 10%.
[Achievement Title: Ascetic]
Related Achievement: True Asceticism (Adventure: Pain Sharing)
Special Ability: The probability of the level of newly created abilities rising to the season is greatly increased.
‘It’s all a good effect.’
In this battle, I really felt how much influence the magic resistance dice had on the battle. As such, the additional dice value of 2 was definitely great.
‘The progenitor’s ability is… bloodline.’
Since he drank the blood of origin, he seemed to have received some of its effects.
‘And the feat title.’
The feat title was the first title obtained as a shadow summoner.
Unlike the first title, this title is received only by completing the relevant achievements, regardless of order. As expected, the effect was enormous.
‘The difficulty level of achievement was that much, but….’
With this, Kang Seol’s title was confirmed.
Now there was only one step left to escape the labyrinth.
Crash.
A very small box was formed at the foot of the snowfall.
Something that looks exactly like a ring box.
Sweet.
When Kang Seol opened it, there was a ring inside.
[Check the gift of the labyrinth.]
[The level increases.]
[The level increases.] [
Acquire ability points.]
[Albuza’s special ability is activated.]
[Acquire additional ability points. ]
[Obtain the Ascetic’s Seal (Harvester).]
[Amazing discovery! You discover a completely new type of relic.]
[With your poor wisdom, you cannot understand this relic.]
‘This is the entrance card to the labyrinth….’
There were many types of labyrinths all over the continent, not just labyrinths of asceticism. .
To enter there for the first time, you needed a labyrinth token, which was an invitation, but the number was limited.
‘But if you have this seal…’
As long as you have the seal you receive when you break through a labyrinth, you can enter any labyrinth without a certificate.
Of course, this seal was not simply used as a pass. Rather, it was often used with a different meaning.
‘The seal itself is powerful.’
The seal demonstrated special performance that ordinary equipment could not have.
[Inexplicable: Ascetic’s Seal (Reaper)]
Grade: Mysterious
Appropriate level: None
Resistance: None
Durability: 200/200
Weight: 0.1kg
A seal given to those who have overcome the labyrinth of asceticism.
Basic ability: Does not use the equipment slot. Durability recovers over time.
Special ability: Ignores the curse of monsters.
‘It’s just like what Finn got.’
– Ignore the Abomination Curse?
– So you can just wear ugly things?
– That’s awesome ㄷㄷ
– It’s spinning haha. Even if you tell me to put this in the equipment compartment, I have to wear it.
The ring was very thin and had a reaper’s skull engraved on it.
Kang Seol thoughtlessly put this ring, which looked like a layered ring, on the finger that already had a ring on it. Then he turned to Park Chang-sik and tried to speak.
“Now turn around….”
“….”
Kang Seol couldn’t finish his sentence.
This was because Park Chang-sik was looking at the ring in the ring box with empty eyes.
He shook his head and approached Kang Seol. And said to him.
“I don’t deserve this.”
“yes? What is that…”
“I had to kill my colleagues in the labyrinth with my own hands… and I couldn’t save anyone.”
“I blame myself…”
“But you saved everyone.”
“….”
Park Chang-sik’s eyes looked earnest.
Perhaps he made a decision after seeing the snowfall liberating the souls.
“Only you brought the Labyrinth to its knees. … I was broken here. I probably don’t plan on coming to a place like this anytime soon… and I probably don’t need this stuff either. Please use it for me.”
A mysterious grade seal.
How would he feel about handing over a treasure that only appears in labyrinths to someone else?
Looking at his stiff expression, Kang Seol couldn’t say no.
“I will use it with care.”
“Thank you… thank you. My colleagues would also want this….”
A ring with the symbol of a demonic beast engraved on it.
When Kang Seol put the ring on her other finger, something strange happened.
Swoosh…
Slap!
Chrrrrrr…
The seal and seal were connected by a thin chain.
Snowfall immediately checked the status.
[Mysterious: Ascetic’s Seal (Demon Beast – Harvester)]

– A double bar ring haha
– It’s a ring in the style of an old guy who plays heavy metal.
– It’s a ring that looks like it could be sold by a cat that couldn’t hold it haha.
Now it was time for Kangseol and his group to go back after their long trip.
Pusssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…s
-blue?
It
is soon.
Jiiiing –
The place they returned to was near base Audenin.
“Huh… Huh….”
“Woah….”
They had been trapped in the labyrinth for a long time, breathing in humid air. When the fresh air they had longed for entered their lungs, their bodies reacted violently.
As they collapsed on the floor and laughed, a message appeared in their field of vision.
[The following is the current score ranking up to Adventure 18.]
