The 31st Piece Turns the Tables - Chapter 174
Episode 174:
Crunch…
Crunch…
As Bornouil’s body was disappearing into the mouth of snoring and gnashing of teeth, Frannan was actually thinking about the past.
His teacher from the past, Bale, was looking down at Frannan, who had not yet ripened.
– There is a very nasty problem.
– yes?
– Why aren’t you doing your best in the Battle of Frannan?
– That’s…
– Shall I guess? Are you unable to trust others?
It was like that.
From a young age, Frannan thought of himself as someone who would take a different path from others.
Even though I had humble origins, I thought that my ending would be great.
As a result, I became aware of my own superiority and began to stop trusting others.
– If you try your best and fail… then it’s really the end…
– Why does that mean it’s the end? Don’t you have colleagues?
– … They are different from me. You will fail easily.
– Tsk tsk… You are a child who is out of sync with the scale that values balance. You’re putting more burden on yourself.
– Why should we trust others?
– Because it’s a wizard. Other people think wizards are great, but in reality, they are all fools who think they are great.
– Magic is great.
– Magic is like that. Probably not a wizard? These are people who can’t do anything on their own.
Card knock!
While Frannan was lost in thought, a message occurred to Kang Seol.
[Ur: Bornuil has been defeated.]
“Is it over?”
Someone from the Relic Society asked.
Frannan answered dryly.
“Who died?”
“As far as we know, there are two people.”
“Whoa… where are you?”
“Separately here… huh?”
After recovering the demon spirit, Frannan and the expedition team attempted to approach the corpses to confirm the identity of those who died in battle.
however.
“…uh, none.”
“What are you talking about?”
“A body… has disappeared.”
After hearing the expedition team’s words, everyone looked at each other and tried to understand the situation.
“What does that mean?”
“The body disappears?”
“It must be here…”
Then a voice came from the darkness.
“Are you looking for me?”
“… Damn it. “Somehow it seemed too easy.”
The being that appeared with a grin seemed clearly to be the corpse that had been here just a moment ago.
Because his head was broken and blood was flowing freely.
I couldn’t believe that someone like that could walk around safely.
“… Is it Ur?”
“I guess you can at least remember my name now. “I was a little surprised. You guys are pretty good, right?”
The blood drained from the expedition member’s face.
“That’s ridiculous!”
“How… obviously the demonic spirit ate my body…”
“Lie!”
One of the mercenaries charged at Ur with a sword.
“pup! “He’s definitely dead!”
chin-!
“Gagging…”
Ur strangled the mercenary who had just left and lifted him up.
“I can kill you at any time. They can even take your body too. Now that I’ve shown it to you, you’ll believe it. “My spirit never dies.”
Frannan laughed as if he were astonished.
“Haha, this is Won… I thought I definitely killed him…”
“It was an excellent blow. If I hadn’t been careful, I might have really died. Well… it’s a slim probability.”
“That ability… I guess the conditions for using it on living subjects are strict?”
“….”
“Otherwise, there would be no reason to use the corpse to scare us. is not it? “Wouldn’t it be okay if you took my body right now?”
“That’s outrageous. But… it turned out unfortunately.”
“Are you sad?”
“I was trying to choose the right person for the body to live in the new world, but I’m a little angry about the pain I haven’t felt in a long time.”
Pop…
The corpse that Ur was in fell down with a jerk. And instead, something appeared from beyond the darkness.
Kujik…
Kujijik…
The guy who appeared this time was on a different level, starting with his intimidation.
The air vibrated every time it stepped on the ground.
“I’ll… kill them all.”
The new object that Ur possessed was a creature with six arms and ugly fangs and horns.
Although he was huge, the muscles that filled his body revealed the level of his body.
As soon as Kang Seol saw the guy, he remembered the conversation he had with Tori.
– It would be impossible to attack head-on… But are Coco and Kungkung the only predators on the 4th floor underground?
– There were a lot of them, and every time they went on a rampage, Kungkung caught them all and killed them. I think I remember having another friend, but I can’t see him now? He was an unusual friend with six arms… Probably Kungkung killed him.
‘That body… it’s one of the predators on the fourth floor!’
Kang Seol had a feeling that things would not be easy.
Frannan muttered quietly.
“That’s why… if you give your all, the end result is bad…”
Frannan sighed as he rummaged through his arms.
There is only one other demon spirit he brought here left.
Snoring and Bruxism had also fallen asleep after feasting, so it was unclear whether Frannan would be able to defeat Ur, who had changed his body.
He failed.
At first, I had briefly hoped that the situation would be resolved easily if Ur was caught off guard and attacked with all its might.
Those expectations have now been spectacularly shattered and it has become an even bigger ordeal.
The first fight against the great evil after a break.
His alcohol-stricken mind was awakened and memories of the past were brought back.
Even when his colleague Yurin became an idiot because of his pathetic student.
– Tremendous! Why… Why are you doing this…
– You’re a wizard.
Even when his teacher, Bale, scolded him.
– Why should we trust others?
– Because it’s a wizard. Wizards are worthless.
“Right. “A solitary wizard is so helpless.”
Kuzizik…
said Ur.
“This guy’s body is pretty strong, but he can only use one type of magic. “I regretted that, so I left it alone for a while, but there was nothing I could do about it.”
Frannan sighed at the sight and tried to step forward.
Is this what it feels like to be a soldier being dragged into a hopeless war?
however.
Sigh…
“Why don’t you take a breather?”
“… you?”
Kangseol stepped forward instead of Frannan.
He said a few words to Frannan and slowly faded to black.
“I will take my time.”
[The hidden adventure ‘Solitary’ is activated.]
Adventure 22-5. ‘
Ur’, the prisoner who ate the scales and the reason why ‘solitary’ Alkatron was created, appeared. His seal has been loosened over the years, and he is finally awake and ready to go out into the world.
It must be stopped.
If you can’t stop it, you never know what might happen.
Goal: Defeat or seal Ur.
CAUTION This adventure is very dangerous.
Please note that situations in this adventure change from moment to moment.
Caution: This adventure is expected to be a long journey. Therefore, you may not be able to get proper rest.
Current remaining time: “None.”
In addition to the adventure information, a glimpse of Ur’s new body.
‘He’s also transcendent… Damn, transcendence appears all the time.’
Snowfall broke its neck and made a sound.
Tdu puk…
Ur was delighted with his appearance.
“okay! You were there! “I need a younger body than that old man, so it might be worth considering yours.”
“My opinion is?”
“…Do you really need it?”
“I’ll try my best too.”
“You will have to… because no one will be able to help you.”
Gooooooo…
A mysterious energy gathered around Ur’s body.
Frannan shouted in embarrassment.
“What…”
Jijijijik…
A transparent and solid barrier swallowed only Ur and Snow Seol and pushed out all the rest.
[Ur: Gaugoku uses a single wooden leg.]
[No one can intervene inside the curtain.]
A very simple ability.
However, if that ability is combined with the ferocious body that Ur possesses, it will boast terrifying efficiency.
Gaugoku, who was the owner of the body, also became a predator of the fourth floor.
Kang Seol chuckled.
“Why are you smiling?”
“Because it was appropriate. “Let’s get started.”
Snowfall guided the energy in her body as Jamard led.
Ddudduddud…
What was swimming quickly through his body was the original force of the earth. The newly acquired strength was crying out for him to be released quickly.
‘I didn’t want to use it if possible…’
Unlike other abilities, there were some very irrational aspects of source power.
The unreasonable part mentioned here was the part about the consumption of power.
‘Once you use the source power… it disappears.’
In other words, it is the same as a volatile ability.
If possible, it was best to defeat the enemy without using source power.
– He is strong. You’ll have to use all your strength. Saving money here is useless if you die.
Jamard sent deep consolation to Kangseol and poured out the source power of the earth.
Quad deud deuk!
A huge black stake was created from his arm.
Quasi profit!
Snowfall stuck it into the ground.
It’s so scary!
[Mountain Source Spell: Uses Land of Abundance.]
[The area is filled with the energy of abundance.]
[Earth Armor applies to everyone in the area.]
[Abundance gives birth to opportunities.]
[All Stats temporarily increase by 30%. Afterwards, the additional abilities slowly decline.]
[The probability of temporarily strengthening abilities within the area greatly increases.] [
The probability of awakening new abilities within the area greatly increases.]
The earth obtained through the rock giant’s core The result obtained by literally putting all of the source power into it.
Whirling-!
Karen and Karuna were also summoned to stay by his side.
Ur laughed.
“That power… you are also a branch extending from me. Shadow… is it? No, there’s something strange about you. good night!”
“What do you mean it’s good?”
“I want your body. It’s very uncomfortable to work as this guy. “Because I don’t really like using my body.”
Ssuk… Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss… sssssssssssssssssssssssss…
Snow and Ur collided, separated from the others by a transparent barrier.
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Snowfall struck by Ur’s fist.
However, the earth armor only slightly fell off.
Kang Seol grinned.
“It sure looks like that.”
“what?”
“Are you out of shape?”
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
“Uuuuk….”
With a single punch from Kang Seol, Ur’s body rises slightly from the ground. It was such a shock that the spirit that prided itself on being great became dizzy.
Ur quickly swung his six arms.
“Waaaaaa!”
Hung-! Hung-! Hung!
widely! Percussion!
Snowfall responded by dodging most of the blows and blocking a few others.
Although the expedition team seemed to be in a very precarious situation, Kang Seol actually continued to shed a faint smile.
What does it mean to do your best?
Unlike in the beginning, the snowfall was getting stronger at a very fast rate, making it difficult to utilize the existing power effectively.
And even with all his might, he didn’t clearly realize how much he could fight.
‘where… Shall we try it?’
A shout came out of my mouth.
“Aaaah!”
Shoo shoo shoo!
Burbubbubbubbuk!
Rather, the rapid succession of blows struck Ur’s body as if there were six hands of Kangseol.
“Kwa….”
Kwasik!
As much as you want.
Kwaaaaang!
“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…”
Really, feel free to do as much as you want.
Wow!
It’s a joke!
“Ugh… you…”
I met someone I could beat up to my heart’s content.
Although her hands were numb from the tingling sensation of hitting an iron plate, Kang Seol smiled.
The expedition team that was watching was horrified to see their fight.
“What is that…”
“What kind of power is that…”
“It’s overwhelming!”
“Are you winning?”
Now it’s hard to tell who the monster is.
In fact, it felt even more bizarre to see Snow smiling while fighting.
Frannan clenched his hands tightly as he looked at the battle scene.
“Really… it was insignificant.”
He now realized that he was putting his hopes on Kang Seol.
Although I learned that there will come a moment when I have to trust someone, I was not able to realize it.
I thought that perhaps both Yurin and Veil had been looking forward to a moment like this.
– Frannan, it will buy us some time, but defeating him here will not be the end. The fight against it will continue unless it goes back to sleep. I’m sure you know what I mean.
The words that Kang Seol left behind before fighting Ur. Frannan quickly realized what that meant.
“While he is preoccupied with the battle, we must find the word of his redemption! Otherwise, you have no chance of winning! “It will definitely be here!”
“yes!”
After hearing those words, the expedition was about to disperse in all directions when Mael appeared from the darkness.
“There is no need for that.”
“Mael?”
“We have found the location of the arrest warrant.”
“Is that really true!”
Mael pointed his finger toward the ceiling. There were a lot of things floating around that looked like fireflies.
“… What is that?”
“These are some of the insects I use. “It’s an insect called a starflower.”
“so? Why is that…”
“These friends scatter and glow following the traces of magical power. “There will be a lot of them sticking around your body.”
There were definitely insects like fireflies attached to the expedition team’s bodies.
Frannan twisted his mouth.
“Okay, so it’s the ceiling… Then the area around there should be brighter than it is now.”
“Please, Frannan.”
“I’m not good at using light magic?”
“yes?”
Chameli, who is well-versed in light magic, stepped forward in place of Frannan and spoke.
“You mean I just need to light up the surrounding area?”
“Yes, we need to start analyzing it as quickly as possible.”
“Okay, pilgrims. Please give us your strength!”
Tsuzuzuzutsu…
[Chameli activates Consecration: Dawn.]
[As long as Dawn lasts, it forms a light source and infuses warm energy into the affected target.]
“There is! “It’s over there!”
“But… isn’t it too long?”
Mael’s prediction was correct.
There were large letters written on the ceiling with clear words. But it was more than everyone expected.
In a way, it was natural since it was a powerful word that would trap the monster called Ur for a long time.
‘Okay, it’s only a few sentences… please…’
Mael carried the addict he had prepared on his shoulder.
“Please, Kiki!”
Squeak…
“Interpret!”
Kikigeek…
Kiki caught the letters written on the ceiling with his eyes.
