The 31st Piece Turns the Tables - Chapter 277
Episode 277 It’s
so hard!
The crack in the seed quickly spread throughout the seed.
The golden energy became more intense.
Whoa…
Everyone except Mia used their palms to block some of the light entering their eyes as the light spread out.
Blah blah blah!
Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssing…
Something sleeping inside the seed awakened with a mysterious mist.
An appearance that leaves everyone here, including Kang Seol, who was the first to confirm its existence, confused.
[The All Self is born.]
[The All Self is a mirror-like being that obeys the minister.]
The naked In-young was kneeling with her head down.
Snowfall cautiously approached the figure where a dazzling light was spreading.
Swoosh…
“Snowfall! “Isn’t it dangerous?”
Chi-woo tried to stop Kang-seol, but Kang-seol waved his hand and said that it was okay to worry.
Kang Seol made In-young raise her head slightly.
“….”
Eyes.
Inyoung’s eyes looked exactly like Kangseol’s.
At that moment, Kang Seol realized.
‘This… is a being connected to me.’
I don’t know how I can understand it right now, but it also occurred to me how to move this one self and how to use it.
The mouth of all clones opened.
“It’s fascinating…”
“What you said…”
“I said…”
When the clone spoke, everyone looked at Kang Seol in shock.
Kang Seol shrugged and answered.
“I’m talking now.”
Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss-

– Ho… That’s amazing. Is the self established as an entity that responds to ministers?
‘I think it’s there, but the energy is weak.’
– If you have an ego, that alone is a dangerous enough force. Because you never know when someone might rebel against a minister.
‘But I don’t think there’s any need to worry too much.’
– Why?
‘While the ego energy is weak, self-awareness is clearly imprinted.’
Ur was surprised.
– Does that mean you understand and accept your situation?
‘Yes, I think so.’
– I see… I finally understand.
‘what?’
– Why was so much time needed? Creating a creature that looks exactly like you is difficult, but it doesn’t have to take this long. However, an alter ego that is absolutely loyal and can even think for itself will definitely have to go through this process. That’s fun.
Sigh…
As Snowfall stood up, the clone also stood up.
After doing a few more verifications, Kang Seol was confident that this alter ego would be useful in the future.
Gooooooo… As
Kangseol stretched out his hand, black energy began to cover the golden clone.
Whirling-!
Whirring!
[All the alter egos assimilate with the minister.]
“Oh my god…”
“That’s… snowfall, right?”
The appearance of all the clones was exactly the same as the snowfall in front of them. Even Seolhong and Chiwoo, who were next to him, looked so similar that it was confusing, so other people wouldn’t have noticed.
– Master… that guy… is fake…
– I… really…
Kang Seol took actions such as poking the clone’s body or checking the skin of several parts, and then sucked him in.
Whirring!
Sigh…
Snowfall’s entire self is sucked into the shadows.
– What is the lifespan?
‘I don’t think there is such a thing.’
– What happens if I am attacked? Will it hurt you too?
‘I can sense it, but I don’t think it does any damage. The clone may disperse for a while, but it seems that it can continue to regenerate as long as I live and supply the magic power.’
– Perfect! That nasty guy called Wattalla or something gave you a pretty big gift.
Kang Seol looked at her hands for a moment and then laughed. Although I had not yet used it, I was confident that this ability would be of great help in the future.
* * *
The promise that crossed time was kept.
After sitting and chatting happily for a while, Kangseol’s group slowly prepared to say goodbye.
Mia was smiling as she saw off Snowfall.
“Mia, what are your plans for the future?”
“I will stay here and paint. And… I will wait for Hyemyeong.”
“….”
“Don’t think I’m foolish. Hyemyeong said I’ll come back someday.”
“Then I’ll come back someday.”
The wandering Mia was no longer there.
‘It’s changed a lot.’
I never could have guessed that they would end up intertwined like this, but now it’s even endearing.
Kang Seol left his last words to Mia.
“I hope you find peace Mia.”
“…Thanks to the snowfall. I am happy now. “I hope you find rest someday.”
Kang Seol and his group leave the place like that.
Now that the urgent matters had been resolved, minor issues had to be dealt with.
First, let’s start with how contact with Hye-myeong changed what happened to Seol-hong and Chi-woo.
When Kang Seol asked them about this, Chiu and Seol Hong tilted their heads.
“There isn’t much change right now.”
First of all, Seolhong, whose hair has only partially changed.
She had no idea what had changed.
“I…”
On the other hand, Chiu hesitated to answer.
“So much has changed that I don’t know what to say. What Hyemyeong left behind for me is so vivid. “How did you not know this?”
It’s not like I didn’t know.
Hyemyeong said that he would wake up after thinking of himself, so it must have been so.
Chiwoo’s energy was quite different from before.
‘… You helped me, Hyemyeong.’
Perhaps, if Hyemyeong had found Kangseol, she would have been of great help to him.
While Kang Seol was thinking this, Ur spoke to her.
– I think I’ll have to stop by the city sometime soon.
‘city?’
– Yes, the ability tree.
Since you have accumulated a lot of ability points, you will be able to use them to do anything. Plus, since I had all my clones, I had room to experiment with various things.
‘Now that I think about it… I kept moving to fight the war.’
Since all attention was focused on Seolhong’s fight, there were also pending issues that were put on the back burner.
‘But since the retrieval of the wilderness spirit has been completed, there will be no worries for the time being.’
However, it was only a wind of snowfall and did not actually happen.
A fact that I learned through archivists who appeared only after several hours had passed.
– Death Flower Seolhong.
“… yes.”
– Is there any excuse for your disappearance?
It was the fact that Seolhong, Chiu, and Seolhong’s dragon stone, Kangseol, had been missing for a few days.
After Mia disappeared into the picture, reality changed slightly. This was the aftermath of the changed reality.
‘… missing? The archivists must have missed our mark!’
Archives would not have been able to follow the past in the picture, and it may have been difficult to trace Seolhong’s traces in the changed present.
“That’s…”
Seolhong and Kangseol exchanged looks.
I didn’t feel the need to reveal it in detail, so it was only appropriate to explain it in moderation.
Seolhong explained appropriately to the recorder.
While attempting the ordeal, he was involved in an accident and was temporarily out of position. The recordists did not seem to believe that statement at all, but they were unable to strictly verify it.
Plus, it seemed like they had other important issues.
– Yonghwayeo’s next trial has been decided.
“What is that… wasn’t this ordeal something Yonghwa had been planning to choose for himself for a while?”
– It certainly would have been so. However, because the news was cut off in an urgent situation, the changed matter was not delivered to you. The Khan Empire is currently suffering from weightlifters.
‘What does this mean again?’
Kang Seol looked at Seol Hong and Chi Woo with wide eyes, but they didn’t seem to know anything either.
“Weightlifting… who would rebel against the Dragon Emperor…”
– Demon.
“… yes?”
– Monsters and ghosts are rampant, and the entire Khan region is in great turmoil. Accordingly, the Dragon Emperor mobilizes the military and extends a helping hand to various parts of the continent, but the situation is not easy. This means that what happened was an organized and massive movement.
“That can’t be possible…”
– Hereby, I will convey the will of the Yongje to all Yonghwa, so get ready!
“yes!”
Seolhong
falls to his knees and bows his head.
Chiu and Kang Seol also followed her.
– Another ordeal befell Khan. I command the Yonghwas.
“….”
– Look at all people.
“I will follow your wishes.”
– Now raise your head. These are the solemn words of the Dragon Emperor. Accordingly, all Yonghwa will be dispatched to places where they are useful.
If the Dragon Emperor has finished speaking, the other person is just an official. Chiwoo woke up as if he had a seizure.
“Archivist!”
– … Chiu-ro.
“What an ordeal! What happens to the trials? “We have just finished our ordeal…”
– No action will be taken regarding the previous ordeal for the time being. It will resume after the situation calms down. Even if you overcome the ordeal, you also delay reporting it.
“Well… can’t you just accept it for us? Just now…”
– That can’t be true.
“Chiu…”
“Tsk… Then what about this ordeal? “No, this counts as an ordeal, right?”
Is even the phrase “watch over all people” part of the ordeal? Chiu is asking that now.
– Yes. However, in the case of this ordeal, the evaluation criteria are complex, so approach it with all your heart.
“…Does the dispatch area also vary depending on rank?”
If the dispatched area also varies depending on the ranking, the higher the ranking, the more dangerous it is, but it will be assigned to an area that is more advantageous in evaluation. If so, the gap could widen before it even begins.
Chiu is now pointing out that point.
– Yes.
“Damn it…”
At least if the recorders accepted the wilderness order, their ranking would quickly rise and they could be dispatched to such areas, but unfortunately, the situation seemed to have changed while contact was lost.
Seolhong was ranked 50th before taking on this ordeal, so he will probably be dispatched to a region worthy of 50th place.
Chiu was dissatisfied with that.
It was as if we had worked hard to create a wilderness that did not exist in reality, but our efforts were not rewarded right away.
However, Seolhong had different thoughts.
“Chiu’s evaluation criteria are complex. “Don’t be too upset.”
“This is your job, but how…”
“It’s the country’s job to save all people, so evaluation shouldn’t take priority.”
Archivist’s words.
– It means right. Then, you are heading to Songjo from now on.
“What exactly should I do there?”
– There, you…

It’s dark!
I can’t see anything! The Song Dynasty is ruined!
– I guess the space is really wide. How many people are there in Yonghwa, but why don’t they send one to Songjo?
– The vigilantes and dispatched troops will soon reach their limits…
– No, I’ve only had one or two related adventures, but isn’t that too much? Isn’t this the end of blocking waves for the rest of your life?
– Jeon: But is there a reason to protect the city? Should I just run away?
– Chansung

[Subject: Is there anyone here who has some strings attached to Yonggung?]
Bring some good Yonghwa. ㅠㅠ Come. The military is a little…
– The place where it is most difficult for transferees to infiltrate is Yonggung, so lol
– How many of them in Yonghwa are transferors?
– It must be a dragon stone.
– Ah ha
– Well, what power do they have when they are the ones who keep up with Yonghwa?;;
Khan’s city of Songjo.
It was a city that was not very developed because there was a large mountain nearby and traffic was difficult. The vicinity of the city is still infested with bandits and frequent raids targeting commercial travelers take place.
However, recently, all the bandits and thieves have disintegrated.
They were able to defeat even Khan’s troops.
However, due to the unprecedented proliferation of monsters that occurred in the mountains and the ghosts crossing the border, they were not properly prepared and were easily swept away.
Monsters and ghosts soon began to invade the city.
Afterwards, the monster’s first major air raid was carried out, and it was only with the help of the central army, which had been dispatched to prepare for the recent incident throughout Khan, along with the vigilante group, that the air attack was prevented.
But the damage was severe.
A large number of transferees, who had confirmed the power of the monster, deserted, creating a hole in the military.
As a result, we reached a situation where we had to give up facilities around the city one by one.
Now is the time when the survival of the city becomes truly uncertain.

– Wow, is that Seolhong? But you’re in Songjo now?
– Uh haha
– But I’ve never heard that Seolhong is strong?
– It’s okay if you ride a giant soldier.
– Doesn’t the old lady next door count if you ride a giant bottle?
– If you ride a large soldier and don’t count, isn’t that also a problem?
– There are no large soldiers in the Song Dynasty ㅠㅠ
Kiiik…
The carriage door opened.
Chuck…
Chuck-!
The soldiers lined up around the carriage followed the commander’s movements and saluted.
“Chuung!”
“insect!”
Snow red that falls a little shyly. The soldiers could not hide their disappointment when they saw her like that.
Her appearance doesn’t seem to be anything special.
“Mr…. I knew it would be like this.”
“Quiet… I can hear you.”
The soldiers muttered dissatisfiedly.
and.
Squeak…
Two more people got off the carriage.
“… uh?”
Those two people were Kangseol and Chiwoo.
