The 31st Piece Turns the Tables - Chapter 192
Episode 192
Kwaaaaaa!
Like tree branches being uprooted by a storm, all the people within the range of the black waves exploded.
The mansion was literally split in half.
No, at a time like this, it would not be appropriate to say that it was split in half.
has disappeared.
It would be correct to express it that way.
“Whoa… whoa…”
Marcelo’s subordinates, who saw the amazing sight before their eyes, took a step back in surprise.
Pot-!
“Ugh….”
Pit-!
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu its its…”
At best you can look at it positively, it’s a bunch of losers.
Moreover, since they were members of a cartel, one person cut down the remnants without mercy.
By the time the dust that rose in the aftermath of the mansion’s destruction settled, the whole situation had ended.
“Let go of this! “Let go!”
“Shut your mouth, Marcelo. “If you want to die a little faster, it’s okay to talk about it.”
One person took advantage of the attention paid to the fight between Karuna and the twins and caught Marcelo, who was trying to run away.
He predicted victory or defeat before the fight was even concluded and tried to get out.
Then, he was suddenly caught by one person.
Even though it wasn’t just one person, he may not have succeeded in escaping because Kang Seol was aware of his presence, but in any case, Marcelo’s escape ended in failure.
“You crazy bastards… you dare touch us… you are now dead.”
After forcing Marcelo to put his head down on the ground, one person retrieved the object he was holding tightly.
“This is what I deserve….”
“Damn you bastard… Are you making things so big just because of one thing?”
“One thing? No, it’s the punishment for past sins.”
Snowfall looked at Karuna, who was immersed in a lingering mood for a moment, but it didn’t seem like it would end anytime soon, so she turned her head and approached Marcelo.
“… hey.”
“you you!”
“Do you know anything?”
“What… goats?”
“Yes, those guys who make a living by eating grass and causing annoyance in front of you.”
“Do you think I’ll tell you?”
“no.”
Marcelo’s eyes moved back and forth. After a moment of silence, he spoke.
“If I tell you everything… will you spare my life?”
Kang Seol answered calmly.
“No way.”
“Tsk! Then, fuck you, you bird…”
The moment Marcelo struggled and tried to take the weapon out of his arms.
Suddenly!
One person pulled out a sword and struck Marcelo in the neck.
“How dare you….”
“There is a surprisingly strong corner.”
“If I survived here anyway, I would have been disposed of by the cartel. “You probably knew that better than anyone else…”
Karen put down Marie, who was carrying her.
Ugh…
“Ugh…”
Marie seemed to wake up.
“number of animals!”
[Intermediate insight is activated.]
[There is a sign of poisoning.]
Kang Seol took out the antidote from his belongings and poured it into Marie’s mouth.
“Ugh… it hurts…”
When Marie started to wake up in pain, one person helped her.
“Marie are you okay?”
“Be loud… you idiot.”
Fortunately, there didn’t seem to be any life-threatening effects.
Kang Seol watched closely as Karuna showed shocking behavior again.
‘I’m anxious…’
Perhaps sensing his concern, Ur explained the current situation from the shadows.
– Rest assured. I think it’s probably because of the aftermath of breaking the wall.
‘Isn’t it dangerous?’
– It could be dangerous. But it can’t be helped. If something suddenly fills up in an empty place, you can’t help but panic.
Ur seemed to have noticed that Karuna’s ego was defective.
– I found out while assessing the level. On the outside I felt like a stiff doll, but on the inside I was seething. If you completely tear down the wall, your personality might change a bit.
Kang Seol wasn’t too worried about that part.
Would it be possible to become as vicious as the Black Knight?
And I hoped that Karuna would return to normal.
Whioooooo…
Contrary to the worries about snowfall, Karuna was quite peaceful.
After pouring out his anger, he felt so refreshed that he could even describe it as exhilarating.
Karuna’s action of absorbing the Black Knight was actually not an appropriate action.
A person would swallow a lump of lead and gain weight, but would experience an unbalanced state in which he would not be able to digest the lump of lead.
And the great anger that arose in his heart would eventually eat away at him from the inside, as he had faint emotions.
Fortunately, there was a variable.
Thanks to the resonance ability that Kangseol inherited, Karuna was able to feel his emotions as well.
The calm ripples of emotion conveyed by Kang Seol both cooled and melted the hot anger.
And the anger that was refined in that way was expressed outside like this instead of exploding inside.
If there was no ability called resonance, problems would have arisen during this process.
Even if it is such a trivial ability, it has its uses.
Srrrrrrrrr…
The black wave that destroyed the mansion began to be recovered by Karuna.
Eventually, the wall blocking the twin knights’ state finally collapsed.
Whioooooooooooo!
Karuna with black waves rippling.
He had a heavy energy before, but now he was so strong that it felt like there were no gaps, so powerful an energy swirled around him.
And the aftermath continued to Karen.
“… uh?”
She too was suddenly engulfed in flames.
[The twin knights’ connected souls are activated.]
[The grades of the two summons are strengthened to Transcendence grade.]
[The two summons now display their original power.]
[The two summons are now qualified as generals.]
[Great generals can walk their own paths.]
[Abilities are strengthened depending on the path chosen.]
[Twin Knights: Karuna’s Moonlight Clash is strengthened.] [
When Moonlight Clash is activated. The full moon state is now maintained at all times.]
[Twin Knight: Karen’s flower of fire is transformed into a star.]
[Damage per rotation increases and the flames it creates are greatly strengthened.]
[Twin Knight : Karuna’s continuation: The black wave is strengthened.]
[The ability value lowered by the black wave increases, and the slowdown rate also increases accordingly.]
[Twin Knight: Karen awakens a new ability!]
[Twin Knight: Karen Last: Awakens her best friend.]
[Twin Knight: Karuna’s physical abilities increase significantly.]
[Twin Knight: Karen’s physical abilities increase significantly.]
[Twin Knight: Karuna awakens to stand on her own.]
[ Twin Knight: Karen learns to stand on her own.]
[Ability level increases continue even if all Twin Knights are not summoned.]
…
A lot of messages came to mind.
– I finally broke the wall.
As Karuna went through change, Karen also went through change.
It was also because of their connected souls, and in fact, Karen was prepared earlier than Karuna.
When she shook off Jinn’s afterimage in Yognathun, she might have been able to go to a higher level.
However, that was blocked due to Karuna’s level, and when Karuna raised her level one level, she smoothly rose to her level.
Kang Seol put aside all of his intuitive abilities and read only the parts he needed to pay attention to.
[Continuous: Black Wave]
Continuously emits black energy. The black energy affects the opponent and stacks. Black energy reduces abilities by 1-3% per stack and slows down by that amount. Stacks can reach a maximum of 10, and when the maximum stack is reached, damage received increases by 20%.
– This is ridiculous haha
– Karuna has become the leader in farting…
– Smell 10 stacks!
– At that point, wouldn’t it be a poop fart?
[Continuous: Best Friend]
Continuous: Surprise Appearance always activates, and the creature with the greatest sympathy appears.
– This sounds far away, right?
– You should have seen what a surprise appearance is lol
– Anyway, it’s a good thing, huh~
– The ability points are taken according to the ability points, so it should be good…
– It’s not even a bean, so why are you promoted twice?…
– It’s not even a bean. Why are you promoted twice?…
– And what is the general’s path?
– I know?
The general’s path, which viewers questioned, was something that Kang Seol knew.
An ability gained when the knight class reaches a certain level.
This could be seen as similar to a tendency.
If you mainly use heavy armor and shields, it’s like the Path of Faith. If you mainly use a two-handed greatsword, it’s like the Path of Achievement.
‘Will it be chosen naturally later?’
Just as Jamad became a great sorcerer and was able to use source power, they will also gain new abilities.
‘hmm?’
After confirming his abilities, Snowfall noticed something falling near Karuna.
‘This… is that stopwatch?’
The watch that took the life out of lunch and dinner.
It’s now in Kang Seol’s hands.
“It was a little… strange.”
It was bizarre to see a clock eating your lifespan, but that wasn’t the only important thing.
The point is that this watch does not simply suck life away, but triggers aging.
In other words, wouldn’t it be possible for the user’s time to pass that much faster when using this watch?
It was amazing how a single consumable could control time.
Snowfall grabbed the watch.
A watch with cracks on its surface.
[Unfair Stopwatch]
Grade: Treasure
Appropriate level: None
Weight: 0.1kg
Special ability: Greatly increases the user’s abilities, but costs the user time every second. Currently, it is broken and it is impossible to know how much the ability level increases or the time it takes for each second.
[Intermediate Perception activates.]
[I think it can only be used once.]
“… What is it?”
Kang Seol put it in her arms.
Ur looked at the watch he had in his arms for a long time.
* * *
Fortunately, Marie recovered quickly.
Among the abilities he had, he had a recovery-type ability, and the poison that made him unable to move his body seemed to be an ordinary paralyzing poison.
After the situation was resolved, Kang Seol spoke to Han Yeo-yeo.
“I’m glad you’re safe.”
“… It’s thanks to my brother.”
“But it feels like something has changed.”
“yes?”
“In a good way.”
“Ah… Is that so?”
The atmosphere and skills were very different from before, so it was not unreasonable for Kang Seol to say this.
‘I felt it last time too, but I’ve grown a lot.’
Scratch, scratch…
A few people scratched their heads in embarrassment.
“It looks like you went through some hardships.”
Nod…
He acted honestly, like a younger brother showing a test paper to an older brother who was on leave from the military.
Kang Seol saw that and laughed.
“Still, I’m glad you’ve grown.”
Twitch… Twitch…
About one person twitched, unable to control the corners of their mouths.
Deep!
“ah!”
Marie stabbed him in the side.
“Dawn looks stupid.”
“okay?”
Marie said that and looked at Snowfall.
She didn’t seem to understand the situation very well.
While she was unconscious, Marcelo’s gang was devastated and disappeared from Azelfog.
“Summoner… Summoner….”
“What’s wrong, Marie?”
“Were you a summoner?”
“Ah, are you talking about my brother? huh. Mari also read the letter Noeul sent. “At that time, Marie said it was a lie when she asked how Jeonja would break through the labyrinth.”
“Are you talking about the ascetic?”
“Yes, that ascetic. brother! “Wasn’t that your brother?”
Nod.
Kang Seol nodded.
Marie asked, her eyes widening at the reaction.
“Did I really break through the labyrinth? “How was it?”
“It’s just…”
– It was like shit, what… (taking a long drag on a cigarette)
– (showing signs of alcoholism) Don’t even bring up that!
– The fangirl probably wasn’t expecting that kind of answer…
– Is this difficult? You set fire to the heart of another fangirl! Can someone please call 911?
Mari was obsessed with Kang Seol and asked her various questions.
“Then what exactly is your score?”
A question like this.
“11 million points? No, why didn’t I see it? how? No… how?”
– Haha, that’s because I got stuck because of the labyrinth^^
– Oh, really, stop it. It’s embarrassing.^^
– Actually, there’s a lot more than that, but I guess the rumors haven’t spread that far^^?
Marie nodded and said.
“I see, somehow… Dawn was so annoying… I didn’t know there was a brother like this.”
– One person’s shoulders are now higher than Everest.
– Eom Heung-gil: What’s wrong with this? Not here?
– Feeling proud of your brother-in-law hahaha
– Mahahaha are you guys like this?
One person asked Kang Seol.
“Have you ever seen me fight?”
“No, I didn’t see it.”
“… I see. “You didn’t see it.”
His face was colored with despair.
He clearly looked disappointed.
“Still, I can see how much my skills have improved. Right, Karen?”
Karen responded while dealing with Coco as if she was not interested in the conversation.
“Why do you keep stopping by… Huh? Uh… right. It was clumsy before. “It looks like you’ve cured your weak side a bit?”
“I mostly did difficult things. “I feel like my mind is weaker than my body…”
The changed appearance of one or more people passed through Kang Seol’s mind.
Their cruelly callous appearance and determination.
‘But is it okay because the good parts still remain?’
Marie said.
“new year! What do you plan to do now? If the adventure hasn’t been decided yet…”
“It’s been decided for the time being.”
“I see…”
Marie’s shoulders slumped. She seemed greatly regretted.
Kang Seol ended the meeting by telling Han Yeo-myeong to meet her at Azelfog after this adventure.
* * *
Snowfall awaits the transition in a few days.
It had been quite a while since I waited so calmly for the start of an adventure. It was because I had never gone on an adventure as planned before.
This is Kang Seol’s first time searching for horses after obtaining the compass from Lian.
Things work out smoothly only when the first button is clicked well.
The reason I left the hotel before the fight with Marcelo was to set up an adventure in advance.
“As expected, the arrow pointed to the goal run.”
– Goal run?
Ur questioned the name he was hearing for the first time.
Kang Seol responded to that question with a smile.
Jiiiiiiing –
His body, engulfed in a halo of light, was transferred to a damp cave.
Grumbling…
Snowfall lit the torch prepared in advance.
He frowned.
‘This place… has bad memories.’
[The next adventure begins.]
[The twenty-fifth adventure begins.]
[Adventure 25. Grave of the grave robber]
…
This was the place where one of his horses, Golan the grave robber, slept.
