The 31st Piece Turns the Tables - Chapter 172
Episode 172
The change that began when Snowfall placed the rock giant’s core in her hands.
[The rock giant’s core fills the mountain’s source.]
[The mountain’s energy held by the rock giant’s core is ‘abundance’.]
[The mountain’s source cannot be absorbed completely.]
[The source’s overflowing energy Power strengthens the shaman’s abilities.]
[Volcano Armor is continuous: strengthened by Earth Armor.] [
The continuous abilities of Fire Thunder Stance are strengthened at the same time.]
[Status Abnormality: Immune to petrification.]
[Original Power : The acid is full.]
Patter-patter…
“Um… What is that?”
“What is happening?”
“The giant… is disappearing.”
Kungkung’s body turned into dust and was absorbed into the bead that Kangseol held in his hand. And the bead was being absorbed into Kangseol again.
Susssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss…
Thumps body completely disappeared and where even the core of the rock giant that Snowfall had placed in his hand disappeared, there stood a man wearing solid armor made of rock.
‘This is… source power.’
It was my first time seeing it in person, but it was a completely different feeling from magic.
Until now, you had to concentrate your consciousness to use the volcanic armor, but now you don’t have to go through that cumbersome process.
Kang Seol, who was checking the new changes, nodded.
‘I see, it has changed to activate automatically.’
In that case, the activation speed seems to be important, but it was okay to check this part later.
– I have never used the source power.
– Something touches my heart;;
– what; I thought it was nothing, but I got it!
– Source power But how do you use that?
– You get it but don’t use it;
There were several reasons why Snowfall did not use source power until now.
The biggest reason among them was that in order to use source power, you had to build up empty source power from the beginning.
This is usually called training or practice.
The power of nature that the great shaman wielded was not something that could be obtained as easily as water gushing from a faucet.
If you wanted to use it that way, it was correct to fill the water tank first in order.
And the first button has just been sewn.
– Hey, do you feel it?
Jamard asked Kang Seol.
‘Are you talking about this power?’
– Yes, I’ve seen it used a few times by the monsters of the Tribal Alliance… but I didn’t know I would gain this power so quickly.
Another reason why it was difficult to use source power was that at Kang Seol and Jamad’s current level, it was difficult to use source power as naturally as breathing.
In order to use power comparable to combat ability, preheating was necessary.
‘Well, this part will gradually get better. More than that…’
According to the information that came to mind earlier, the first achievement was obtained by defeating Kungkungi.
[First Title: Superhuman]
Related Achievements: Path of Superhuman (Adventure: Gatekeeper Thump)
Special Ability: Every hour, with a certain probability, one of the abilities or abilities you have is randomly strengthened for 5 minutes.
‘I don’t feel it right. I guess I’ll have to actually activate it to find out.’
– Good things?
– Well… isn’t it a bit ambiguous to say 5 minutes of reinforcement every hour?
– I think we need to look at the numbers on how it strengthens for 5 minutes.
– ㄹㅇ I think this will go back and forth between poop and soybean paste depending on how it is applied.
Kang Seol’s thoughts were not much different from those thoughts.
I decided to wait and see about the title since I could judge how powerful this title was based on the reinforcement value or reinforcement method.
Snowfall completed a short inspection of its abilities.
The time spent up to this point was no more than one minute.
That means I only skimmed through it.
Normally I would have looked through it carefully, but now was not the time to be so relaxed.
As Kangseol walked towards the expedition team, they squinted at him.
“saw? “My body was turning black.”
“That dog grew as big as a house.”
“Are you Frannan’s disciple?”
“Isn’t Frannan your student?”
Frannan, who was listening to the story nearby, approached Kangseol.
“Hmm… they seem like noisy guys. So, what on earth are you hiding and how much? “The power that crushed that rock was a power I had never seen before.”
“This is it.”
“Well… we’ll have to wait and see. “Let’s get there faster than you think.”
“Why are you all gathered together?”
“Because a lot of people died. And… there are people who will die soon.”
Kang Seol thought of the injured man that the former iron lion was carrying on his back.
“No way… Yofimba?”
“Yeah, I guess it’s difficult to treat.”
– If I feed him the blood of the beginning, won’t he survive?
– Are you a newbie? That was the first thing I experimented with as soon as the snowman got blood.
– You failed;
– ㅇㅇ Is it because it was diluted?
They approached the expedition team surrounding Yofimba.
When I looked at Yofimba’s side, I saw that many of his colleagues who had already lost their lives to shrapnel were lying down as if they were sleeping soundly.
Jofimba’s complexion was pale.
“Cluck…cluck….”
“Yopimba! “Right now, I…”
“Why are you yelling because it hurts my ears?”
The colleagues of the Relic Society cried out for Yofimba and shed tears.
“Don’t die, Yofimba! I’m still conscious! Bishop Jopimba… Our friend Jopimba…”
“…”
Yopimba chuckled.
“You idiots… don’t ask for ridiculous things. Something like this… even if you bring in Baranoa’s head… it’s not possible. … This thing is definitely dead. Look at that expression. Hey girl. “Can you do me a favor?”
“Please speak, Yofimba.”
“I have something to leave you with. “Is that… possible?”
“All right.”
Whioooo…
A breeze blew, and a brilliant emblem was carved on Jofimba’s blood-stained forehead.
[Chameli uses Reminiscence.]
[The target becomes immune to all damage and attacks.]
[The target does not feel pain.]
[The target cannot use all abilities.]
[After a while, the target becomes clear. It leads to death.]
The stigma of death given to Yofimba.
This may have bought us some time, but it left us with no hope whatsoever.
“Why… Why….”
“It’s a lot easier… Guys, get out of the way of your creepy faces. And come closer to me, Mael.”
Mael approached Yofimba with a cruel expression on his face that had not yet calmed down.
“What are you so afraid of? Mael, you fucking troll.”
“Yopimba….”
“Spread your shoulders! “Why are you sitting there looking so depressed?”
“sorry.”
The sight of a large troll bowing its head in pain to a dwarf was quite an unusual sight.
“You’ve been like that since I first saw you. He has an excessively soft character that doesn’t match his large body and fierce wildness…”
“There’s no law to live the way you want, right?”
“Yes, that’s right. “You’re so handsome… man.”
“…Yofimba. Please leave a comment. “I’m ready to record.”
Yofimba cleared her voice and spoke to the remaining members of the Relic Council.
“You fools who have lost their cowards in the Relic Society, this Yofimba is about to die the happiest of deaths. The old and old dies in a living, breathing ruin. It’s the death I’ve always dreamed of… But if there’s one thing I regret, it’s not being able to see beyond that door. So, if you consider me a friend….”
He continued with a smile.
“You guys come and see it instead of me. “After my death, I will leave the door open for the dwarves, so later… very later… come to me and tell me what was on the other side.”
Mael responded with a grin.
“As a troll, the door might be a bit narrow for me.”
“Mael, come crawling! “You’re so obnoxious, it’s okay to suffer a little.”
“Hahaha….”
Clap…
“This gun… you can use it. “You know the workshop I deal with, right?”
“Thank you, Yofimba.”
“And you bastards of the Relic Society, listen carefully. We are now in a place no one has ever reached. We are a relic society. “They are crazy people who are hungrier for the secrets of the ruins than for the people they are related to or have slept with.”
His eyes scanned the remaining members of the Relic Society one after another.
“I honestly don’t think any of you will survive. But… if a miracle happens and one of you goes out into the world, tell us what happened here. And tell the world.”
“….”
“We peeked into a secret! We fought here. “Now that I’m done talking, everyone go out.”
Mael held Jofimba’s hand.
“I will record your life and keep it at the edge of the Antiquities Library of the Relics Society.”
“Until the dust settles?”
“Of course.”
“Haha… born with blood and flesh and dying with books… that’s… killing me…”
Tuuk.
That’s how Yofimba, an official of the Relic Society, died.
* * *
“Now open the door.”
A huge key left where Kungkung disappeared.
The wire messenger held it and approached the keyhole.
He hesitated for a moment before inserting the key and spoke to Mael.
“I’m sorry troll. … I apologize for my rudeness so far.”
It seemed that his heart had changed due to Mael’s desperate actions for him and Yofimba.
Clang-
Kikikik…
When the key went into the hole, the door opened with a noise. It felt like a door that hadn’t been opened in a very long time.
“If you’re angry, you can hit me.”
“If I hit, you will be the first here to pass through the dwarf’s door.”
“….”
– Hahahahaha
– One shot to Yofimba’s side.
Mael said, shyly stroking his upper body that exposed his bulging muscles.
“When you get out of here, buy everyone a drink.”
“what?”
The words Mael spoke just now were very timely words that would ease everyone’s tension. The iron lion said with a smile.
“Yes, I will live big, so please just give me a chance.”
As the atmosphere calmed down, everyone headed down.
Stop.
But Snowfall, who had been following them from behind, suddenly hesitated.
“What’s wrong?”
“… no.”
Kang Seol was looking at the sentence written on the door for a long time before it opened.
‘what?’
The sense of déjà vu that I had felt from the lighting statement before came here again.
Snowfall clearly had a good memory. I had a tendency to remember past events in detail and rarely forgot things unless they were too detailed.
That’s why he began to question this as he often couldn’t remember his memories after being transferred.
‘I confirmed that if I retrieve my words, the memories come back… But this feeling is completely different… This… is different.’
This is how Kang Seol felt after seeing the words.
I don’t know, but I know.
The memories scattered among the words felt like reading a book with partially torn pages, but now it felt like reading a book where the pages were still in place but the content had changed.
It feels like reading a new revised edition.
“cell.”
“yes?”
“No, it seemed like it was written that way.”
“What is it really….”
So Snowfall followed the expedition team and headed downward.
And after the others left, there was someone left at the door.
It was Tori.
“Sorry, I’m done here…”
Slurp…
Tori disappeared like that.
* * *
Drop…
Drop…
Alkatron, 5th floor underground.
“I feel… this… “It’s really huge.”
“This energy… it must not all fall away!”
“The landlord seems to be quite polite. “You’re so strong, but you just watched us storm into the living room.”
A terrible energy was felt even on Snowfall’s skin.
The 5th basement floor wasn’t that dark. Strangely enough, a soft light was floating in the air.
Kang Seol said.
“The meaning of welcome is… isn’t it?”
“It’s obvious. “It must be one of my whims.”
“I hope something appears quickly…”
Just then, someone’s voice was heard.
“Frannan Frannan! Oh hohoho.”
Frannan’s expression hardened.
“This voice… I wasn’t even expecting anything…”
That voice came again.
“It’s me. “It’s Bornouil.”
Bornouil.
The purpose of the expedition’s visit here, and the person who wanted to retrieve at least a body.
Libra Bornouil.
Slurp…
Hung… Hung… Hung…
A lump of flame was created in the air and continued like a road.
And at the end of the road, an old man with a bent back was standing behind him.
One of the wizards shouted.
“Bornouil! Bornuil!”
“Lord Tower! It’s us! “Are you okay?”
Frannan raised his hand to stop them.
“You idiots… why do you ask that?”
“yes?”
“That guy is not a scale.”
The old man smiled sinisterly.
“Ohhohoho… did you notice Frannan?”
“Where is Bornouil?”
“It’s… in here.”
“Who are you…?”
“I… am over there.”
Bornouil raised his head.
Hung… Hung…
A new flame appeared.
Floating there, as if he were wearing a straitjacket in a mental hospital, was a figure with chains wrapped around his limbs and even his face covered with a mask.
“… I can’t tell just by looking at that?”
At that time, the old man’s new brother flinched.
A terrifying and fearful voice came from him.
“Stay still! Still…”
It seemed that Bornouil’s soul was not the only thing that existed in his body.
Frannan asked, his expression hardening.
“Hey, you fearless bastard who entered the body of a scale.”
“Are you talking about me?”
“Yes you.”
The one who dragged them to this secret place and even stole Libra’s body.
“What are you…?”
The red-eyed evil with the face of Borneuil smiled.
