The 31st Piece Turns the Tables - Chapter 142
Episode 142
[The Black Knight enters the first stage of the Moonlight Full Heaven, the current moon.]
Huuuuu…
The bluish aura that spread throughout the Black Knight’s body was identical to Karuna’s.
Soon Karuna’s body also burned like a black knight.
[Karuna enters the first stage of Moonlight Full Heaven, the current moon.]
Karen let out a suppressed moan.
“Oh my god…”
Karuna, who saw that, asked the Black Knight a heavy question.
“who are you?”
The Black Knight, who thought there was no way he could answer, somehow answered the question.
“Indeed… it’s the same.”
“… what?”
“Every mirror asked me the same question when it faced me.”
Srrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr-
his-grief-cry-cry.
“You will soon join them too.”
Kang Seol withheld judgment regarding the Black Knight.
‘Dangerous.’
His thoughts and existence were more dangerous than his powerful force.
Just by looking at his appearance, it was clear that he was related to Karuna.
It’s probably related in a bad way. If they had a good relationship, they wouldn’t have raised their swords against Karuna.
Huuuu…
flash!
Karuna’s eyes glowed blue.
Two blue lights instantly created chaos around the area.
Kaga River!
Kagang!
The speed was unpredictable, as if blue stars were fighting.
Snowfall said that their fight was a fight, but Karen’s confused appearance was also embarrassing.
“Why….”
Huaaaaaaaa!
[Karunaga enters the second stage of the moonlight full moon (half moon).]
Whoa!
The Black Knight saw that and sneered.
“… no use.”
As the Black Knight raised his energy, an energy that was hard to believe was in the current moon state was released.
Phew…
crash.
Kaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Two knights clashing swords.
The black knight said.
“That wouldn’t be acceptable.”
“… what are you talking about?”
“That you are a fake.”
“Fake…?”
“Just die.”
[The Black Knight enters the 2nd stage of Moonlight Chungcheon (half moon).]
Quaaaaaaaaa!
A storm of greater power than Karuna’s full moon phase flowed from the Black Knight.
Ga-ga-ga-ga-gak!
Karuna’s sword slowly tilted back and approached his neck.
[Karunaga enters the 3rd stage of Moonlight Full Moon.]
Quaaaaaaaaaaa!
Karuna pushes away her grief with the power of the full moon.
“Ho… That’s a pretty useful piece. I can’t believe you can make it that far. “One…”
A tremendous amount of power exploded from the Black Knight’s body.
Hold on!
[The Black Knight enters the 3rd stage of Moonlight Full Moon.]
Overwhelming power.
Before Karuna was devoured by the huge blue force, another sword came in with a scream.
“no!”
Huuuuuung-!
Kaaaaang!
Karen’s sword struck down the black knight.
“Annoying….”
Crack!
The Black Knight’s vambrace shed her sword once and threw it away.
Huuuuung-!
The moment the Black Knight’s concentration was dispersed by Karen’s intrusion, Snowfall appeared behind Karuna.
Rotate your waist and kick your feet up in the air.
What Kangseol was aiming for was exactly the Black Knight’s head.
Baaaaagh-!
Ugh-!
The Black Knight must have been unable to properly defend himself against this attack, so he rolled on the ground several times to relieve the shock.
However, the Black Knight wakes up as if nothing happened.
As expected, there was no major damage.
But all these connections were for the next time.
[Karuna uses Moonlight Clash.]
Sooooooooo!
Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssstw!
Karuna’s Moonlight Climb moves in a beautiful arc.
It was as fast as a beam of light, but the Black Knight snorted and squeezed out his grief.
[The Black Knight uses the Moonlight Strike.]
Drudduddudduddudduddudduddudduddudd…
Power enough to make the ground tremble.
Kwajijijijijijijijik!
The moonlight slash mixed with ominous energy collided with the slash fired by Karuna.
For a moment, the point of impact was distorted and a strange phenomenon occurred.
[The mirrors face each other.]
“Kwaaaaaaaaaa!”
“Kuheook….”
Both Karuna and the Black Knight screamed in pain.
A strange voice echoed throughout the space.
– I never thought that the item we were aiming for would fall into Jin’s hands…
– Is that why it didn’t take this long? By the way, what about that girl?
– Let’s think about it later. Even if he dies… as long as we retrieve the seeds later, that’s it.
“Kaaaaaaak!”
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa8551114588 there?
The space where the moonlight attack was entangled distorted once and then exploded. The wind caused the Black Knight, Snowfall Karen, and Karuna to fly backwards.
Cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu–
tn2 said the strange voice still echoing.
– I can’t control the power of the seed! Divide!
– damage! It collapses!
– They escaped! They escaped the temple!
The Black Knight was the first to wake up, staggering.
“Heo-eok… Heo-eok… I will definitely get it back. Revenge… I will achieve revenge.”
The black knight aims his sword in the direction where Snowfall and Karuna flew. His grief gave way to maniacal laughter.
【Hehehe! I’ll get it right this time! This time, I’ll stab you!】
[The Black Knight’s Grief uses a meteor.] [The
Black Knight’s Grief pierces a certain path.]
[The Grief deals 170% of the weapon’s attack power to all enemies in the path. Inflicts damage.]
[Enemies hit by Grief receive the Unholy Wound effect.]
Bullwow!
Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!
Grief turned to the fallen Karuna.
Snowfall quickly tried to block it, but the distance was too far. Instead, someone else jumped in front of Karuna.
Grumbling…
Kagagagagagak-!
Karen’s spark of grief blocked the path. Fortunately, the grief did not penetrate Karuna.
“Uuuh…”
【Heeheehee! I’m stuck! It’s blocked again!】
Whirling…
The grief returned to the Black Knight.
Karen said.
“don’t do it!”
“Continuing from before… Wait a minute, this voice…”
The Black Knight stopped abruptly.
Due to his strange reaction, the pilgrims, including Chameli, stopped attacking for a moment.
“Karen, really…Karen?”
“….”
“Lie….”
Karen took off the helmet she was wearing.
Even her face is identical to that of her when she was alive.
The Black Knight cried.
“Karen! Alive… was… it was me! I am Karuna!”
“… you?”
“That bastard is a fake! It’s part of a torn piece! “I… I am truly your flesh and blood!”
“Torn pieces… fake….”
“Yes! I… have… been looking for you all along. “I was trying to find you… by putting the pieces together.”
“… me? why?”
“Of course…”
The Black Knight’s burning eyes took on a more vivid color.
“It’s revenge. I’m taking revenge on those guys! Tore us apart… destroyed Montra… and made me like this…” “
… no.”
“Their blood… what?”
Karen looked at the Black Knight with sad eyes.
“You… are not the Karuna I know. Karuna is kind and warm. “You… you are a monster.”
“Karen!”
Patter…
Karuna and Kangseol gathered themselves and stood up. Karuna said to the black knight.
“Now… I remember a little bit.”
Karen was worried about him.
“Karuna…”
“I… was broken. “That’s why I don’t remember.”
“The real one is me! “You…”
Sigh!
“
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…”
Karuna and the Black Knight held their heads at the same time.
[Karuna’s condition is unstable.]
As the eerie message came to mind, Snowfall became nervous.
‘this!’
Karuna was in danger.
I was in this situation when I met Karen the other day.
‘First of all, let’s get Karuna and the Black Knight away…’
But then the Black Knight suddenly screamed.
“Kwaaaaaaa!”
A sound similar to the roar of an animal.
Snowfall prepared for the attack that would come later. However, the Black Knight’s actions were exactly the opposite.
“Kwaaaaaak!”
Paaaaat!
Faaah!
He ran through the rainy mountain road at great speed. So much so that I can’t even think of pursuing it.
A choice occurred to Kang Seol.
[The Black Knight chose to flee. What would you do?]
1. [Risk factor: Slush and rough road ambush] Catch up.
2. [Required: Tracking ability] Track.
3. Give up the chase.
4. Head to another base.
…
Philia approached Kang Seol.
“… The chase must be difficult.”
“….”
Snowfall looked back at the fallen Karuna.
Shoot…
Only the pits and rubble everywhere proved the unbelievable things that happened here.
* * *
Fortunately, Karuna was able to recover quickly after the Black Knight left. Perhaps the conflict between the two was the cause of the instability.
“Whoa….”
Kang Seol couldn’t believe this situation at all.
‘There was another Karuna?’
The identity of the Black Knight is another Karuna.
I was curious about what was going on, so I waited for Karuna to wake up.
“Woke up! “Wake up, master!”
“Oh yeah.”
Karen made a fuss, urging the snow to fall.
Her hands were shaking.
‘You’re nervous.’
Maybe he doesn’t know how to deal with Karuna when she wakes up. I could feel that agony in her eyes as well. It was clear that he was probably trying to force himself to be bright.
Kangseol thought that he needed to stay centered in times like these, so he approached Karuna, who had woken up.
“Karuna.”
“… master.”
“How did this… happen?”
Karuna answered with her eyes closed.
“Some of my memories… have come back.”
“Can you tell me?”
He glanced at Karen and said:
“yes.”
Karuna’s story goes back a long time.
“After I was attacked on the road to Montra and fell into the valley, all my memories disappeared.”
“I said so.”
“I wasn’t dead at that time. I was rescued by someone. “They are probably the ones who made me like this.”
“… and?”
“I only have very… fragmentary memories, so it may not be accurate. I was treated by them every day with strange medicines and rituals. “So as not to rebel and follow them.”
Karuna looked at the ceiling.
“And as if it had reached its limit, something inside me boiled over and my being split apart.”
“Splitting of existence?”
“Numerous fragments shared personalities and powers, and they wiped out everyone in the temple.”
“And after that, the fragments absorbed each other?”
“I don’t know that much. but… “Maybe so.”
Things I can roughly understand.
In this urgent situation, other details were not very important to Kang Seol, so he left the table to talk to Karen.
Karen looked at Karuna with worried eyes.
“There’s no way… right?”
“Are you not going to ask me if it’s fake?”
“Do you want me to ask? “If I were to ask you, what would you say?”
“Well… I guess I’m a fake, so I’m sorry?”
“Kahaha! That’s right, I think I’ll answer that exactly.”
Karen’s expression hardened.
“Really… Karuna.”
“Karen, that doesn’t matter. At least for me.”
“… Then what’s important?”
“In this life, we will go to the sea together. “I will definitely show you the sunlight breaking on the waves.”
“Is that enough?”
“okay.”
Karuna’s expression did not change, but Karen’s expression gradually became distorted.
“That kid is also… Karuna, right?”
“… it’s me.”
“They don’t look alike at all!”
“I think it was my negative emotions that he took from me. “Fragments like revenge, hatred, and despair.”
“… It must be painful, right?”
“It will be very painful.”
“There is no way to save it…”
Karuna shook his head.
Karen asked.
“Are you going to fight?”
“I won’t avoid it.”
“You mean you intend to fight?”
“If that happens.”
Karen said with a stern expression.
“Then I’m with you.”
“Karen. You don’t have to choose. Later…”
“It’s strange that the one who won the fight was really Karuna. Right? It’s so weird! So… what I want to say is….”
“….”
Karen smiled brightly.
“I want to go to the sea.”
“….”
“For sure in this life! I want to go to the sea. Are you going to take me with you?”
Karuna smiled and stroked Karen’s head.
* * *
A blacksmith shop in a village that was once in an uproar.
An hour ago, the three people, including Kangseol, Philia, and Chameli, faced each other and had a conversation.
“The opponent was too strong.”
“It’s not your fault, brother. There was a misunderstanding about the Black Knight’s power. That… was not a power that an individual could control. “Let’s go back to our home country right away…”
Kang Seol asked.
“Even if we get word to Baranoa, it will take at least a few months for help to arrive. Is that correct?”
“… that’s right.”
“Moreover, is it possible for the Black Knight to catch up on a situation he missed again?”
“It’s impossible right now with this much rain pouring down.”
“Hmm…”
Kang Seol rested his chin and pondered.
Meanwhile, Philia added a word.
“But we might be able to resume tracking after the rain stops. “It probably left traces during the battle.”
“But… if we chase them again, will we have any left?”
Everyone’s expressions changed at Chameli’s words.
Snowfall and Philia. And Chameli’s expression when she confirmed it.
Kang Seol answered.
“There is one thing worth trying…”
“Me too…”
Chameli burst out laughing after hearing the details of the two’s story.
“Then let’s prepare for the next battle as quickly as possible.”
Snowfall came out of her thoughts.
It was still raining outside and it was unclear how much time was left before the second clash with the Black Knight.
‘In times like these, I need to be more centered.’
The summoner’s crisis is his crisis.
I had to get through this ordeal well.
Ugh…
Snowfall receives molten iron with the help of the village blacksmith.
What he is looking at now, placed on the solid frame, is Jamard’s Mountain Fist. Jamard, who was angry and asked what kind of disrespectful behavior he was doing to a sacred object, could only watch Kang Seol’s actions due to the circumstances.
It was originally a biological metal ingot that was planned to be used later when it was blocked by the wall of growth, but Snowfall took it all out after the battle with the Black Knight.
‘I’m not usually good at things like gambling…’
Rumbling…
Molten metal flowed down on San’s fist.
Anyone who saw this scene would have screamed, asking what kind of bizarre thing this was.
[The bio-metal is interested in the ‘Fist of the Mountain’.]
[The bio-metal explores the ‘Fist of the Mountain’.]
‘But this time… I have no choice but to do it.’
The living metal was sucked into every nook and cranny of the sacred mountain’s fist.
