The 31st Piece Turns the Tables - Chapter 204

Episode 204

: Rumbling!

A powerful thunderbolt that strikes from top to bottom with great force!

Yahum’s body was so black that it looked like a shadow.

However, this blow was a blow that controlled the power of the snowfall.

“Can not be done! The Ghost King will be angry!”

“Stop that! If Yahum dies, you won’t be safe either!”

Ghosts running rampant along the streets.

It was a threat that would normally have been dismissed as nonsense, but what they said was true.

In fact, in the world of eternity, there was a case where a western manager was killed during the equipment upgrade process, and the horses that did that were all killed shortly thereafter.

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu of the Hide…

As Yahum fell down with his head on the floor all the ghosts were startled and tried to come out.

But even that stopped when Kang Seol placed her hand on the back of Yahum’s fallen head.

I thought that if I made a hasty move here, my head might get crushed like a watermelon.

“Rest assured, I won’t kill you.”

“human!”

“Instead, we should prepare a place where we can have a comfortable conversation.”

Kangseol took out Jema’s jar from his belongings that he had gotten earlier.

“Jema’s jar!”

“Stop!”

The jar where the thunder demon Ramu was sealed.

Ramu, the thunder demon, was an embarrassingly weak demon compared to Yahum, but the jar of Jema that restrained him was the real deal.

If the total value of Jema’s jar containing Ramu was 100, then Ramu was only 10 and the rest were all worth the value of Jema’s jar.

Since it was such a rare and powerful item, it was natural for other ghosts to be scared and embarrassed.

“Jamade.”

“Yes…” As

Jamard chanted an unknown spell, the amulets attached to Jema’s jar emitted light.

Hwaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

For a moment, light burst from inside the complex and a deafening sound rang out.

Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

the the urn became smoke and was instantly sucked into jema’s jar.

[You have sealed Yahum, the master of the ghost gate.]

[Now that you have proven your worth, you can demand an appropriate reward from the master of the ghost gate.] [The

adventure goal has been met.]

[The adventure ends when the time limit expires or you select a reward. You can do it.]

“That and that!”

“Yachum!”

Snowfall said, holding Jema’s jar in her arms.

“What are you doing?”

“… what?”

He gestured with his chin at the four pillars on which the tent was spread.

“Put it away.”

“That can’t be possible…”

Sigh…

When Kangseol lifted the jar and showed signs of trying to break it, the ghosts were scared.

“Oh, I got it!”

Except for the two dead ghosts, the remaining ghosts moved in unison and removed the pillar.

Kuguuuuung…

“Brother!”

“Snowman!”

Snowfall is standing there awkwardly with blood on the corner of her mouth.

If you remember being sucked into the tent with Yahum, you seemed overly calm.

Yeo-myeong Han and Philia rushed over to check on Kang-seol’s condition.

“Are you okay?”

“We have to get out of here! Those guys…”

“But that ghost from earlier…”

Knock knock.

Snowfall pounded Jema’s complex.

“You just need to keep quiet from now on.”

“yes?”

“Yahum will wake up soon, so let’s wait a moment.”

Han Yeo-myeong and Philia seemed to have escaped the mental shock during Kang Seol’s battle.

The calm, calm figure was the first thing that caught Kang Seol’s eyes.

‘I still have a lot of regrets.’

Although his combat capabilities may have increased slightly, in Snow Snow’s eyes, it was still insufficient.

‘Well…’

Considering that this is a place where you have to collect as many as 5 fire exorcisms to get there, they may be growing at their own appropriate pace.

After a while, Jema’s jar shook slightly.

Rattling…

Rattling…

“Uhmmm….”

“It looks like he’s slowly coming back to his senses.”

Yahum’s voice seemed to come from inside a cave.

【What is this? Could it be… I lost?】

“Isn’t it more dangerous in some sense to go in there even though you won?”

【Hehehe… That’s right too. Ouch… how hard did I get hit? I don’t remember anything.】

Kangseol said with a grin.

“Yes, it was very shattered.”

【Heeheehee! But what are your intentions by keeping me alive instead of killing me?】

“I heard that if one of those ghosts kills you, you will reach the ghost king.”

【Yes, that’s right! There was a ghost king… If you had killed me, the ghost king might have hated you. Because the demon king is such an unpredictable guy. But…】

Rattling…

【Where did you come from?】

– We are curious about that too.

– I saw it. I grew up like everyone else

– but I was a bit of a blue-chip kid.

– I think he must be a regressor lol

– Teacher, why don’t you shorten the novel a little?

Kangseol responded lukewarmly.

“It’s not really like other people.”

【No… it’s different. I can feel it. Something is different.】

In response to Yahum’s questioning, Kang Seol rolled her eyes and said,

“so? I guess it’s cozier in there than I thought? “What if I see you killing time with this kind of un-poetry talk?”

【ah! narrow! It’s narrow! The thought of living in such a narrow space makes me want to smash my head right off.】

Rattling…

【You must have a purpose for sealing me too.】

“Of course.”

【Tell me what you want to get in return for releasing me.】

A choice immediately occurred to Kang Seol.

[Yahum, the master of the ghost gate, appears to be willing to grant your request. What would you ask of him?]

1. I want to take the soul of an object left behind by someone else.

2. Strengthen the soul of one of the items you have.

3. I am interested in naturalization.

4. Where can I go through the ear gate?

…

“Infuse my equipment with your power.”

【It’s the same request as them. good night! What item do you want to strengthen?】

The words that came out of Kangseol’s mouth next were truly shocking.

“Everything I brought here.”

【You’re crazy!】

“If I hadn’t done that, why would I have saved you?”

【….】

There are a total of 5 fire exorcisms that Kangseol brought here.

‘If the adventure had proceeded normally, there would have been only one reinforcement of Buddha’s appropriation.’

The condition is to create a situation to fight Yahum and defeat him, but not kill him. Snowfall satisfied that unreasonable condition.

【… I’ll have to ask the ghost king directly about this.】

“What?”

【Anyway, if the Ghost King raises an issue later, all the power gained here will be lost. So, before you make a problem, ask the doctor.】

Rattling…

Swoouuuu…

Black smoke billowed out from Jema’s complex. Let’s do that for a while.

【Okay, the ghost king gave permission.】

“You gave permission?”

【Okay, so release the seal right away.】

Kangseol said, looking at Jamad.

“Jamade.”

“I get it.”

Jamard mumbles a spell.

Whioooooo…

Yahum came out of Jema’s jar.

Slurp…

“My body became dizzy in that moment. Heeheehee… where….”

Kwaziiik!

Yahum crushed the jar with his foot. Then he looked down at the three humans, turned around, and walked back.

“Follow me, humans.”

* * *

Boom…

Boom…

The path Yahum walked was a night road with cherry blossom leaves fluttering.

All you see around you is a wide plain. Even that looked black due to the darkness.

“Stick closer, humans. “If you get lost here, you will never get out alive.”

“What do you mean?”

“That’s literally it. This is a place full of resentment. Because it is a place where ghosts are born. Hee hee hee…”

Han Yeo-myeong and Philia tensed at those words and stood close to the center, but Kang-seol went closer to the edge.

Sigh…

Kang Seol puts his hand out in the air for no reason.

That moment.

“Come on!”

“We’re together!”

In the darkness, several hands suddenly tried to pull Snow Seol.

Pot-!

Snowfall that quickly withdraws its hand.

“Hehehe… how do you feel?”

“It’s a fascinating place.”

“It would be more surprising that you are not afraid of ghosts.”

Kang Seol nodded.

Indeed, this is a place where hatred and anger bubble up. My heart boiled like lava.

Even though I didn’t do anything in particular, my emotions fluctuated as if I had been hit by a turbulent storm.

And then my heart became infinitely cold again. It’s so cold that I never want to set foot in the human world again.

Seuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…

Cherry blossom petals fluttered.

It was beautiful and mysterious, but at the same time vain.

“He would have died.”

Everyone’s attention was focused on what Yahum said over his shoulder.

“You two.”

Those two are Han Yeo-myeong and Philia.

Han Yeo-myeong and Philia looked at each other once and then looked at Yahum.

“You two wouldn’t have even been able to overcome the 12 ghosts. If it weren’t for that human, you would have been dead. “Perhaps the soul was crushed, refined, and reborn.”

“….”

“… Yes.”

“I guess the stride length is different. Like adults and children. You idiots may not have realized it, but it was as if you were protected by that man. Well hehehe… it’s none of my business.”

Yeo-myeong Han and Philia also had guesses in their hearts. That all of this went according to Kang Seol’s plan.

They found it difficult to even breathe just by facing Yahum’s presence.

However, after confronting the giant Yahum, Kang Seol packed him into a small jar and returned.

What more do I need to say? It was just a story about the difference between people.

‘It’s so… strong.’

I thought I was catching up a bit, but instead I was moving further and further away.

In a time of rampant violence, snowfall continued to reign as order.

Yahum said to a group of people.

“you! “You can’t control your anger!”

“….”

“Clumsy and clumsy. Basically, if the person wielding the knife is clumsy, he will just cut his own finger… hehehe!”

He also said something to Philia.

“You came here with an infinitely weak heart… What suits you should be a punishment, not a reward… You got lucky! “Because I met that man.”

“….”

“Well, luck is also one of the most important things in life, so it is not a flaw.”

Yahum stood tall.

“They’re all here.”

At the place we arrived, there was an altar and nothing else.

“Hand the item here.”

Work began with Philia’s items. Yahum muttered as he placed Philia’s bow on the altar.

Hehehehehehe!

Kihahahahahaha!

A deafening sound echoed from all directions, and something sticky and thread-like continued to enter the bow.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!

A ghost fire stuck to the bow for a moment and then disappeared.

Kang Seol looked at the scene and was lost in thought.

‘That’s naturalization…’

In fact, naturalization was not the exclusive domain of the ghost community here.

‘Although it is the exclusive property of ghosts.’

Among the ghosts of the East, there were quite a few who dealt with the mystical flame of naturalization. It’s just that there are very few cases where this naturalization can be used by non-ghosts. Gwimun granting naturalization was a special case.

In any case, it is not known exactly whether the power contained in this flame is the power of spirits or the power of Mother Nature, but its strange efficacy is known.

‘It produces different effects depending on the attached ghost.’

It could be considered the same as possession. Just as a specific ghost attaches itself to a person and imbues it with the ghost’s characteristics, the ghost attaches itself to equipment and draws out the ghost’s power.

Ghosts are made to attach to the equipment through the naturalization process.

The “ghost” symbol attached to the front of the equipment means that the equipment is possessed by a ghost.

However, unlike possession, which has a strong negative connotation, when possessed by a ghost, the basic performance of the equipment increases significantly according to the user’s level.

And what follows is a new unique ability.

As it is worth a lot of money, it is an equipment that is very difficult to strengthen and reconfigure.

It was a rare opportunity in Pandea to strengthen such equipment and give it new abilities without risk.

“Take it next.”

One or more swordsmen also went through the same process and the items of Kang Seol were handed over in the next order.

“… I have never seen such a sharp robber in my life.”

– whatever! Do you want to go back into the complex?

– Hey, don’t do anything stupid and put some money in there.

– A bank robber came to the bank in a tank…

Wow!

“Well, it’s better than disappearing and returning to the Demon King, but…”

Grrrrrrrrrrr!

Naturalization surrounded five objects.

Yahum said as he looked at the burning things.

“Foolish human being, for coveting so many valuables… something may be wrong with your body.”

“more?”

“You may see something you cannot see… or you may step into an area you should not enter…”

He glanced at the snow and turned around.

“Something like being consumed by demonic energy and emitting demonic energy on its own.”

“Does this mean I will become a ghost?”

“He’s half human and half ghost, so hehe… If the worst happens, that’s what will happen, so don’t be too scared. “No way, he’s already shrinking…”

Yahum hoped that Kangseol would shrink even a little, but unfortunately, Kangseol didn’t show any change in his expression.

Rather, he said this with a shameless face.

“at all.”

“Ugh… why do I not like that shameless face so much? ruler! It’s done!”

Unlike before, objects began to emit different colors.

Kang Seol confirmed that the objects that were emitting heavy energy had changed.
