The 31st Piece Turns the Tables - Chapter 195
Episode 195
: This is from the early days when Kang Seol was planning the grave robber’s residence, which is now a tomb.
“So why is this…”
A man stuck in a corner alone, unable to take his eyes off the game board.
A god wearing a strangely shaped mask covered in leaves and branches was enjoying the game alone.
He was a player who mainly enjoyed solo play.
Snowfall approached him.
“Um… Paulownia tree.”
“So why… huh? “Snowman, what’s going on?”
Paulownia Tongtong Paulownia was a famous player at the time.
On the other hand, Kangseol was relatively discouraged as he had never left a significant mark while playing the world of eternity.
“I have a favor to ask you.”
“ask? Ah… please!”
The paulownia tree was unusual. He did not hang out with others and only enjoyed playing games alone.
Nevertheless, it was because of his words that he became quite famous.
“You helped me last time, so of course I should help you too. Of course, this is somewhat empty talk. “Actually, I don’t want to do you a favor.”
“….”
He also had a unique personality.
“Is the golemologist still alive?”
“Isn’t the greeting too harsh?”
“Ah…”
“Yes! It’s alive! It was made until the end of the season. “This is a secret.”
“That season!”
At that time, even considering that the Eternal World was in its infancy, there was a severe shortage of top players.
The reason is that if you do something, everyone ends up dying on the adventure, so everyone avoided risky adventures, and as a result, growth slowed down significantly.
Sometimes, there are players who succeed in a series of dangerous adventures, but ultimately die in vain.
In other words, the words that reminded us of the seasons themselves were not common.
However, when Kang Seol came to see this man and told him that he had created a season that could be said to be a symbol of a top player, the young Kang Seol’s eyes couldn’t help but widen.
Anyone who is an expert in their field is bound to look at them with envy. The snowfall was like that too.
“Wow… that’s amazing. “When shall I at least step on the threshold of the season?”
“Hahaha! “It may be too much, but even Snowman can see the buds.”
“really?”
“Of course those are empty words.”
“….”
That’s why it’s so weird.
Kang Seol, who was young, endured the discomfort of conversation and continued speaking.
“So, a favor….”
“A favor?”
“I was given a blank sentinel golem…”
“I heard. It would have been a loss-making transaction. “Wasn’t the treasure we traded quite valuable?”
“yes. Still, the golem is more urgent than that…”
“I won’t be able to protect anything with such an insufficient sentinel golem…” “
… So, please help…”
The plump paulownia tree opened its mouth.
“ah! “Are you asking for renovation?”
“yes that’s right.”
“When it comes to golems, that plump paulownia tree is their specialty. remodeling? Of course, I’m not doing it. Now I’m just showing off what my horse will do! Rather, how are you trying to reform it?”
“So, the direction in which we want to renovate is….”
After hearing the whole story, the paulownia tree expressed disapproval.
“Um… are you okay? Efficiency can be improved, but it would be a waste to keep something like that in a treasure trove.”
“After all, my strength comes from the treasure trove.”
“And just because you use the treasure’s abilities doesn’t mean you’re invincible. “Some treasures often have restrictions that are comparable to those of monsters.”
“But I can’t protect it without that. “My combat ability is rather average.”
“… great! So let’s get started right away! “Snowman’s treasure trove… or what was it?”
“Goal run. Golan, the grave robber.”
“From now on, I will train an invincible golem to protect the grave robber Golan’s warehouse!”
“Wow!”
“Of course, I’m not making it, it’s my words making it, so applaud in moderation!”
“… yes.”
As expected, Paulownia was a difficult man.
* * *
Snowfall briefly remembered the story of how the large sentinel golem came here.
I felt like the memories of that time were coming back.
Adventure 25-2. ‘The giant outside the mouse hole’
The worst situation of losing one’s life to a rock falling from the ceiling was avoided, but that doesn’t mean the situation is good.
The good news is that we found out that the ground here is very unstable.
You found your way forward and were able to find a rat hole that the grave rats were using.
This rat hole appears to have been a passage used by tomb rats to escape with treasure from the treasure trove.
There you can see a door leading forward.
However, there is also a huge golem spinning in front of it.
I guess I’ll have to do something with that golem to get out of here.
Goal: Defeat the golem or move to the next gate without being detected.
Currently, the remaining time “ about 2 days ”
Kuwoung …
Kuu -woong …
Golem, renovated by Odong Tongdong Paulownia, was turning around the treasure treasure.
A large pillar was erected in the center, and the golem continued to circle around it.
Coo…
Coo…
Karen tilted her head and said.
“why? “Can’t we just destroy it?”
Both Snowfall and Ur showed their disapproval.
[Medium Perception is in effect.]
[Physical Shock Mitigation is in effect.]
[Elemental Damage Reduction is in effect.] [
Giant Force is in effect. ]
[Radiant Mirror is in effect.]
[Life Regeneration is in effect. [It is working.]
[Elemental restoration is working.]
[The thorn armor is working.]
…
There were countless other messages. Snowfall was silent for a moment.
‘Was the remodeling too outrageous?’
A masterpiece created with great effort by the paulownia tree.
Snowfall’s Seonjian read the information on the golem passing in front of him.
[Masterpiece: Paulownia Watchman]
Grade: Hero
Estimated level: 32~36
The watchman golem always appears wherever there are important items. However, it is slow, dull, and clumsy.
However, the watchman of the paulownia tree is different.
If you wonder why there are so few corpses when so many people have targeted this treasure trove, just check at the feet of this golem.
As long as there is treasure, it will be difficult to suppress the watchman in this space.
Surprisingly, this golem was not made of paulownia wood.
Basic Ability: [Temporary Storage 3] [Treasure Power 5] [No Sparing 3] [Annihilation 5] [Self-Regeneration 5]
Special Ability: [Persistence: Golem’s Realm 2]
Snowfall reads the information of the paulownia tree sentinel and waits for a while. I was worried.
‘If the watchman is operating properly, you can’t squeeze in.’
The door through which the watchman had just passed came into his sight.
‘The watchman uses the power of treasure. ‘It’s not easy to subdue the watchman inside this treasure trove.’
A golem that uses the power of treasure.
It was a masterpiece created by the paulownia tree through repeated modifications.
– What is that school bag that the golem is wearing?
– If you put treasure there, doesn’t it count?
– Looks like Grandpa Mangtae.
As viewers pointed out, there was a basket-like space on the paulownia watchman’s back.
Ur spoke in a hesitant voice.
– It seems possible to destroy it, but it would take too long. The barrier that can be felt alone is more than ten layers. It would take an entire day to break such an ignorant piece of metal. In this area, if you get hit even once, you’re headed straight to the next world.
Karen asked back.
“Then what? “Is it possible to pass through here without that golem knowing?”
“It’s impossible.”
Kangseol spoke clearly.
There is a magic circle installed on the floor in this room.
When unusual movement is detected, information is delivered to the paulownia tree watchman and the intrusion is discovered.
“Unless you fly, you are guaranteed to be caught by the golem.”
The Paulownia Watchman’s level is only a hero, but he has gained a power greater than his capabilities with one condition.
That I can’t leave this room.
‘The problem is we have to get through here.’
A choice occurred to Kang Seol.
[This room is guarded by a paulownia tree sentinel. What would you do?]
1. Try to talk to the paulownia tree watchman.
2. Attempt to infiltrate the paulownia tree guard.
3. Search the grave rat’s abode.
4. One person gets attention and the rest escape.
…
All of them were inappropriate options.
Particularly in number 3, I was convinced when I saw the miserable corpses of dead rats in the tomb that had exploded on the road leading to this rat hole.
– Colliding with that golem is like forcing the already weak ground to collapse. Head-on collisions must be avoided.
Karen asked, laughing at Ur’s words.
“If it collapses, you can take it out again, right?”
– There is no such magic left. Even then, I barely managed to squeeze out the remaining magic power.
“Then what should we do?”
Kang Seol put his hand on his chin and said.
“I think there’s one way…”
“There’s a way?”
Ur guessed what Kang Seol was going to say and spoke.
– Are you trying to use that stopwatch?
“I’m a little worried.”
A fair stopwatch used by triplets, no, twins since one of them was already dead.
Somehow, when the fair stopwatch came into the hands of Kang Seol, it changed into an unfair stopwatch, and its level changed from an eyesore to a treasure.
Kang Seol was considering whether he could use the stopwatch.
– You’re quite the brainiac. The golem seems to be using treasure to repel intruders due to differences in weight… Perhaps the treasure should be put into the inlet hanging on its back.
In that short period of time, Ur understood many aspects of the Paulownia Tree Watchman.
– Put it in. It will stop working the way you think it will.
“How can you be sure of that? “It may not work on the golem, and the stopwatch may not have much left.”
– You can trust it. At least I guarantee the quality. I can even know the remaining time and operating range of the stopwatch.
It was an absurd statement.
“You guarantee quality? why?”
– Because it’s Kagon’s item.
“… what?”
– That stopwatch belongs to Kagon. I knew it at a glance.
“You mean the empire you lived in?”
– okay.
It’s absurd, but the stopwatch was suspicious from the time I first got it.
“The ability was so absurd…”
The ability to gain strength by burning one’s life… It was definitely not a common item.
– To correct this, we are not manipulating lifespan, we are manipulating time. Kagon had advanced magic capabilities to the point where this was possible.
“Manipulating time…”
– At the time I was imprisoned, Kagon’s magic system was divided into two. Time and words. This is a by-product of temporal magic.
“But then, is it right to use it here?”
Although it was such a valuable item, it seemed a bit of a waste to use it to defeat the golem.
However, Ur’s judgment was different.
– Having useless items is just a burden. Rather, you need to bring out the magic that is inside you. That watch is like a seashell with a pearl inside.
“pearl?”
– That’s the difference between magic and magic. Magic uses condensed magical power and the recovery rate is overwhelming. The same goes for the magic contained in that watch.
“… What do I do with that magic power?”
– Aren’t you still uncomfortable because of my lack of magical power? It’s at that level.
“Can’t I take out the clock’s magic directly?”
– So who starts that clock? For reference, the stopwatch is on the verge of collapse, so whoever uses it will explode.
“….”
– That magic power cannot be touched by anyone but me. If an ordinary wizard were to covet this unique magic power, his entire body would explode and he would die. Unless you are in this body, the origin of magic, you cannot touch such pure, condensed magical power.
– I’m not ordinary lol
– I’m not even a person lol
– If I die, I die lol
In the end, I decided to use a watch.
Boom… Boom…
In the meantime, the paulownia tree watchman was spinning around.
– Who will put the watch in it?
Kang Seol said.
“I have to do it.”
You created it, so you destroy it yourself.
– Get ready for it to come.
Whirling…
Snowfall held the watch tightly in her shadow hand and waited for the timing.
Thump…
thud…
The closer the paulownia watchman got, the more the tremors grew.
Cuuuung…
‘Now!’
Snowfall’s shadow hand carefully placed the stopwatch into the pocket carried by the paulownia watchman.
Boom…
Boom…
The paulownia tree sentinel showed no reaction and continued circling the pillar.
“… Nothing happens?”
– Wait, it will start now.
At the same time as those words were spoken, the stopwatch was activated.
[The Paulownia Watcher uses temporary storage.]
[Consumes the durability of the stored items to activate abilities.] [
The Paulownia Watcher uses the power of the treasure.]
[Slightly amplifies the power of the treasure. ]
[Treasure: Unfair Pocket Watch is activated.]
[All abilities of the Paulownia Tree Sentinel are ??? Increases by %.]
[Per 2 seconds ??? Years of life are lost.]
Tick tock…
Suddenly, the sound of the second hand began to be heard.
Kuung …
Kuuung …
The paulownia tree watchman rotated with a pillar even though the initiative was triggered.
‘It will be a while before we know the results.’
But contrary to his expectations, the response came immediately.
His body was intact until the paulownia tree sentinel was hidden by the other side of the pillar.
Quirk…
By the time he got out of the pillar and came into Kang Seol’s field of vision, his body was broken in various places.
Fuss…
Pussss…
Dust flew from the golem’s body.
Kang Seol opened his eyes wide.
“This is the power of time….”
– To be exact, it is the power of Kagon. It may seem convenient, but it was a skill that was talked about even at the time. Contrary to what was said, the side effects were severe. Well, anyway…
Pusssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
at…
of
the paulownia tree sentinel’s body slowly tilted and finally fell.
Couuuuuuuuuuck!
[Masterpiece: Defeated the paulownia tree sentinel.]
[Additional rewards are given.]
[Achieve the special achievement ‘Blowing your nose without using your hands.’]
[Obtain the special title “Invisible Hand.”]
Whioooooo …
A strong wind blew at the place where the paulownia tree watchman was. A huge blue sphere floated up.
– Excuse me fairy.
“… uh?”
Whirling…
Karen was sucked into the shadow space.
[Sealed Ur’s maverick is activated.]
[Sealed Ur acquires additional abilities of the unsummoned Karen.] As Snowfall
looks at Ur with wary eyes, Ur raises his finger. He said while stirring.
“It is a necessary process. Then…”
Pajijijik…
[The sealed magical power of Ur is activated.]
[Interprets the unidentified magic power.]
…
The blue bead is like a skein of thread. It was released and sucked into Ur’s body.
