The 31st Piece Turns the Tables - Chapter 222
Episode 222
Whoa whoa!
“Puuuu-!”
Pupu gets hit by Bitona and flies away.
This giant octopus did an excellent job of slowing down Bitona, but for a moment it seemed like it would not be able to intervene in the battle.
Still, Santos was definitely saved.
Santos shouted as he saw the grief that had turned into a sword.
“Why did you come, Bitan! “If we do this, no one will remember us.”
【There’s no need to remember! Because we will return alive!】
“You… huh? “But were you a sword?”
【huh! I was a sword!】
“Ahahaha! It’s a good thing. “The situation was like this, but it happened to be a car that needed a knife.”
Grief told Santos.
【I’m going to push me into that bastard and bite me into a mess.】
The skeleton thought for a moment and had no choice but to nod.
Nod…
Kiiiiiii…
Vitona clicked her tongue as if feeling unpleasant towards Santos, who was glaring at her with a sigh in her eyes.
“Goes!”
【Go!】
Pat!
Santos somehow felt lighter.
He attributed this phenomenon to mindset.
I expected that just the small comfort of having someone watching over him would help him move away from his fear and make it easier for him to move.
That was only half true.
In fact, it is clear that his previously intimidated movements have gained confidence, but the power of grief itself has made Santos like the wind.
Kiiiiiii-!
[Vitona of Enchantment uses glacial pellets.]
[Fires a large amount of projectiles forward.]
[If you are hit by a projectile, you will be exposed to the status ailment: slow.]
Patter-patter-!
Glacier projectiles resembling icicles rushed toward Santos.
‘You can’t avoid them all.’
I’m so exhausted that I’m sure I won’t be able to move.
‘First of all, if you hit it as much as possible and avoid the critical spot…’
Ugh…
The icicle was already right in front of my nose.
Santos waved his grief.
Sigh…
I felt the sensation of cutting soft bread with a sharp knife. The cut is so sharp that it gives even oneself goosebumps.
That was heartbreak.
Furthermore.
Sssssssssssssssssss-!
Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!
‘Are my movements faster?’
No, it didn’t seem like he was getting faster. Grief is fast.
Swoosh –
Swoosh –
Santos naturally steps forward as if cutting through the snow.
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
of the icicle the one was following appeared at a completely unexpected angle perhaps because it was in a blind spot. It was already too late to react.
‘First, twist your waist…’
But.
Whirling-!
The blade of grief became flexible like a whip and swatted away the flying icicles.
And at a very fast speed.
Kiiii…
The battle aspect was noticeably different from before. Vitona seemed quite taken aback by the sight of Santos, who had not suffered any damage.
‘I might be able to….’
With grief, with this sword, I might be able to survive.
Such a weak belief arose in Santos’ heart. Although it was a precarious trust that seemed likely to break at any moment.
Kiiiiiii…
[Vitona of Enchantment uses voluntary assistance.]
[Some of the creatures in the area that heard Vitona’s voice assist her in the battle.]
[Vitona’s voice becomes stronger over time. [I lose.]
A strange cry like tinnitus.
Seuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
The shadows of fish were cast under the drift ice.
Pot-!
Fish jumping out of the water.
There was something like armor wrapped around the bridge of his nose, so it felt like his bones would break if he even brushed against them.
Whoop…
Santos swallowed the wind and let out a sigh. If anyone asked the reason for this behavior, it was because Grief had orchestrated it that way.
Moment.
The sword blade of grief flashed and moved freely.
Pababababat-!
Santos saw clearly.
With him at the center, the violent fish bounce left and right, like the Red Sea splitting.
Also, in the process, a red line appears for them.
Thump, thud, thud…
The fish were cut into two straight pieces, as if they had been measured with a ruler, and fell onto the drift ice.
【It tastes good!】
Grief was chomping at the bit with fish flesh in the mouth that formed on the blade.
This pitch-black sword proved it.
That he is trying to protect his own values and Santos.
Kiiii…
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
Vitona’s tail swings roughly sideways, as if sweeping away drift ice.
Santos had already been bounced several times by that tail and flew away.
As he watched the strange movements of Bitona’s tail, he felt overwhelmed and began to flinch.
Phew…
it’s coming.
Must be avoided.
He couldn’t avoid it last time, but if he tries again…
Then the meaning of grief reached him.
Santos.
I’m going to cut it.
Swing me around.
Santos broke the stance he had taken to avoid and rushed forward recklessly.
All that came into view was the color of Vitona. When the tail finally reached Santos, breaking the ice floe, he screamed.
“Aaaaaaaaa!”
Huuuuuuung-!
A semicircle that appears to have been drawn with a fine art tool bisects the front. The world that had been colored with the colors of Vitona soon revealed a different color.
Red.
Red blood fell like rain.
It was only after that that I recognized the rough sound of breaking.
Puhwaaaaaaaaaaa!
“Be bebe…”
The hot blood turned the skull red.
Vitona was a cold being, but his blood was hot. That’s why it can be defeated. This is an opponent that can be defeated.
Kiaaaaaaaaa!
Quaaaaang-!
As Vitona started screaming and causing a fuss, Santos suddenly burst into laughter.
“Puhuh…Puhhahahaha!”
The fire in his eyes burned brighter.
“This is you.”
Grief answered.
【Yes, this is my grief.】
Kiiiii- Vitona
cried loudly once again.
Then this time, the sirens crawled up onto the drift ice. Even at first glance, there were a lot of them.
They realized that the song of fascination was not working and charged at Santos with their long fingernails.
Hey!
They approach making strange noises.
Santos thrust his grief forward.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
will will be us,
we will tell us that
Grief was different from other swords.
He took their lives more accurately and more completely than they did.
This was possible because it was the accumulated grief of experiencing numerous deaths. He led the inspection first by predicting how the opponent would move.
Puhwaaaaaaaaa!
Fuwaaaaak!
Every time Grief swung, a fountain of blood spattered.
Because it is a creature that resembles a human, it did not feel guilty or deny its past life.
As always.
Sirens, whose numbers have been reduced to some extent.
Among them, there was one who tried to turn the situation around.
Fuuuuuuuck!
Siren, who received a sword strike from the front with her abdomen, was bleeding from her mouth and tightly clutching her heart with both hands.
Good!
Wow!
Yiiii!
Many sirens latched onto her, trying to stall for time.
Another siren came up behind Santos.
Now that the sword was captured, he had to either give up his grief or deal with the Siren with his bare hands.
Everyone thought so.
but.
Santos did not let go of the handle. Instead, grief moved.
Whirling-!
The blade changed into a chain, leaving the handle intact, forming a blade on the other side.
Santos threw it back without even looking.
Fuuuuuujik-!
The grief that steadily broke his heart returned and slaughtered the other siren.
Grief covered in blood laughed.
【Hahahahaha!】
“Haa… haa…”
Santos was feeling the limits of his physical strength in a battle he had never experienced before. The good news was that grief led the whole situation, so all he had to do was swing.
Puhwaaaaak-!
Puhwaaaaaaaaa!
Eventually, numerous siren corpses piled up on the drift ice. There was no one alive.
Still, I couldn’t say that the situation had improved.
Because something strange happened to Vitona.
Kyaaaaaaa!
The blue lights that seemed to be the souls of the Sirens were sucked into Vitona.
[Vitona of Enchantment uses Soul Harvest.]
[Souls bring strange vitality.]
Ujijijik…
Vitona’s severed tail has been reborn.
Santos’ eyesight became dizzy.
That’s right, the monster they were fighting was Vitona.
A monster that ate the souls of countless sailors.
Vitona was not an ordinary monster.
Fortunately, it was a skeleton and a demon spirit that didn’t have to worry about their souls being taken away, so if it had been anyone else, they would have given up their lives and souls a long time ago.
I felt like I would never be able to finish her.
“Huh… Huh….”
At that time, Grief spoke up.
【Captain.】
“Heo-eok… Rain… Heo-eok… Grief….”
Grief judged the situation calmly. And gave advice to save Santos.
【You have to stab the heart. When a living thing stops beating, it is as good as dead.】
This is the same truth as the faith he has learned for a long time.
“Huh… Huh….”
【You can do it, right?】
“I don’t know.”
【… I can do it.】
“… Yes.”
【Tell me you can do it, Captain!】
As the heartbreak cried out, Santos clenched his teeth.
Crackling…
“I… can do it. Santos, the sea man… can save the sailors!”
【good! You save the sailors and I will save you.】
“Yes!”
【Let’s go!】
“Aaaah, let’s go! “The sea men are coming!”
Patter-patter-!
Flying glacier debris.
As if to prove that Vitona is still alive, the size of the glacier fragments has become much larger.
But the same move couldn’t work.
Chuwaaaaagh-!
Cut down a huge glacier fragment
and voila!
It seemed like the road to Beja had opened again.
The road leading to Vitona.
Kiiiiiii-!
Finally, we almost reached Bitona.
“Aaaah!”
But just then Bitan spoke.
【Captain! I can’t see the tail! Be careful!】
“What….”
Bitona’s tail, which was always out of the water, disappeared.
Santos soon learned why.
Kwazijijijik-!
Vitona’s tail, which broke the drift ice under the water, appeared right in front of Santos.
“Uuuuuu….”
Santos twisted his back because he had already heard the warning. However, it seemed inevitable that I would get hit by Bitona’s tail even a little.
If I bounce back like this, what’s the next opportunity?
Can you stand up?
Santos’ mind became confused.
A cry was uttered that blew away all his thoughts and suggested only one path.
【Throw it!】
Although Santos had no hair, he felt as if the top of his head was standing on end.
And as if he had heard an oracle, he threw out his grief with all his might.
Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss-!
Whoa whoa!
Fortunately, Santos was knocked aside by the tail and fell to the side. Santos barely managed to avoid the tail’s attack.
What happened to the heartbreak that was thrown out of his hands?
Sssshhhh…
The black flesh flew away.
As it flew, it aimed precisely at Vitona’s body.
And finally.
Santos shouted.
“Bitaaaaaan!”
【Oooooh! Is that there?】
Puhwaaaaa!
Grief pierced through something along with a sharp cracking sound.
Bitan screamed as it pierced Vitona’s torso and escaped through the other side.
【It’s not the heart! Something strange has exploded!】
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu the “Ahhhhh…
Soon Vitona’s body glowed dazzlingly blue.
Puhwaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Blue light flew in all directions.
They were souls.
What grief pierced was Vitona’s soul pouch. And when the soul bag burst, the souls inside came out one after another. The souls scattered in all directions and fled from Vitona.
Santos’ face was filled with joy.
This is how they achieved freedom.
“I saved everyone…”
At that time, Vitona became desperate and swung her tail, targeting Santos.
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuthe
the the grief was thrown away and as long as you killed the swordsman Mr Santos, you were close to victory.
Santos is now out of energy.
Since you can no longer resist, you will be hit by that attack and disintegrate into fragments.
He removed the fire from his eyes and closed them.
But contrary to his thoughts, the tail did not sweep him away.
“Block!”
“It’s after the captain!”
“Don’t let them target Santos! “It’ll be too cramped if he comes in!”
The blue souls clung to Vitona’s body, preventing it from moving.
Naturally, some of them were people Santos knew.
“Santos! “You waited!”
“Why did you make me wait so long!”
“Ha ha ha ha ha! “You idiot, I thought you would come!”
“What did I say! You said that idiot would come back, right? Hahahahaha!”
The crew of the Blue Spirits Sea Man laughed at Santos.
In that brief moment when all the other souls escaped from the soul bag and fled, they gave up their most desired opportunity to escape and helped Santos.
Santos wasn’t alone in being stupid. Everyone on board the Sea Man was stupid.
The lumpy soul pirate said as he attacked Vitona’s eyes.
“Don’t move, you snake!”
“ha ha ha! “Don’t struggle anymore, because this will be your last breath!”
Kiiiii-!
For some reason, these souls are full of confidence. They all looked in the same direction as they restrained the distressed Vitona.
Darkness without the sun rising.
Their ship, the Sea Man, appeared in the dark, lightless sea.
With grief wrapped around the bow of the ship.
Snowfall, who was on the boat, was lying on the drift ice. Pupu put him down first.
The reason why Pupu acted like that was soon revealed.
The black chain wrapped around the bow cried out.
【Puuuu!】
“Puuuuu!”
Pupu threw the Sea Man at Bitona with all his might.
Uddddud…
The legend of the Alphrina Strait.
Vitona took the souls of the sailors and prevented them from sleeping forever.
Whoa…
The pathetic captain who lost his crew one day encountered a pitch-black sea urchin on the stormy sea.
【Grief is great!】
You will be saved by him.
Puaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Kiiiiiii…
The prow wrapped in grief pierced Vitona’s body.
On the bow, a blood-covered pitan chewed a piece of flesh and spoke.
【It was accurate this time.】
Chuuuuuk…
Vitona’s body went limp.
She will never wake up again.
A few lines of a story with the name of grief were added to the old legend of the Sea Man, which had been dormant for a long time.
