The 31st Piece Turns the Tables - Chapter 28
Episode 28
The Lost Summoner’s Adventure came to mind.
adventure. ‘The Vanishing Summoner’
Kongori’s black magic job training center, the Prophet of Darkness. There are many talented teachers here. But unfortunately, the Shadow Summoner who will be your teacher has not been heard from since he went to Novira not long ago.
If you continue like this, you may miss the most important part of the beginner course. You decided to go to Nobira yourself and find traces of your teacher.
Objective: Find traces of Shadow Summoner Chao in Novira.
Current time remaining: “None”
‘It doesn’t seem like there’s any harm in waking up early as a side quest.’
Since the next adventure has not been decided yet, it would not be a bad choice to head to Nobira, including this adventure.
Kang Seol then told the manager that he would strengthen his abilities.
“All right. Please follow me.”
The same process as last time continued and Kang Seol was left alone in the dark room.
Whoa…
A tree-shaped ability window, also known as a skill tree, came to mind.
‘The ability score I currently have is 4 points. Then the answer is fixed.’
Of course, the main weapon, Shadow Summon, had to be strengthened.
[Strengthens Shadow Summoning.]
[Uses 4 ability points.]
[Now, when a Shadow Summon is successful, the transmission of the summon is smoother than before.] [
You can now summon two Shadow Summons at the same time. However, there are cases where simultaneous summoning is not possible.]
[Now, when shadow summoning is successful, at least 50% of the summoned creature’s abilities are preserved.]
[Shadow summoning has reached a certain level. 10% of the abilities of all summoned pets are transferred.]
A message came up saying that one ability had been strengthened. There were two most hopeful messages.
The first is simultaneous summoning.
‘Now you can summon Karuna and Jamard at the same time.’
Second, the ability transfer rate was increased by an additional 10%.
In other words, 50% of the original ability can be used by default, and the titles, equipment, and other additional abilities of these summoned creatures will guarantee at least 60%, if not 70%, efficiency.
Although Kang Seol didn’t know much about the level of other transferees, he could be considered a one-man army at this level.
Karuna was not a boss to be defeated through battle in the first place, and Jamard was a boss to be defeated by weakening it using a special gimmick with a five-person party.
Therefore, they were much more powerful boss monsters than regular bosses, and their current abilities would show a huge difference from the abilities of regular transferees.
Suddenly, I remembered what one person said in anger.
– why! why! Even though he’s that strong… his adventurer points don’t fully show the difference in power! The difference in score from 2nd place is 2 times… then 10 times… no, dozens of times stronger… The
thought of about 10 people following each other made a slight wrinkle between his eyebrows.
* * *
After stopping by a few more places, Snowfall returned to her lodgings.
I had quite a bit of wealth piled up, but I didn’t use it carelessly because I had a specific use in mind.
He organized the situation before the adventure ahead.
‘From now on, the route of movement is important.’
Adventures in the Eternal World are largely dependent on where the adventurer is currently located.
For example, if it takes place in a quiet mountainous area where nothing happens, there is nothing special about it.
If you stayed in a place like that for months and years, it would be difficult to get stronger even if your life was spared.
In other words, it is different from a typical RPG in which appropriate adventures are provided automatically as time passes.
In order to become stronger, you had to move your base periodically and enter the eye of the storm where many things were happening around you.
‘Is it time to leave Kongori?’
I got most of what I could from this place. Now, only adventures with low efficiency and low reward value remained in Kongori.
In order to become stronger, I had to get out of here sooner or later.
However, one thing I am worried about is that if you leave the starting point, the dice cycle begins in earnest.
The roll of the dice refers to the roll of the dice when a player leaves an area, and this is common in most areas.
Just as when you go on a trip and you don’t check the weather forecast there, you’ll be in big trouble, the same goes for the dice.
For example, right after the snowfall crosses to Novira, the dice will be rolled, and if a low number is rolled, there will be a penalty. On the other hand, if you get a high number, you will encounter unexpected luck in your adventure.
‘Still, the risk is much greater.’
If a low number of dice came up, the adventure was automatically selected and the difficulty level was unusual.
So, taking this into consideration, players prepare sufficiently and move to the area. Always keep the worst in mind.
‘Preparations are over. ‘I’ve become strong enough.’
The snowfall has already become so strong that Kongori’s other residents cannot handle it.
The only problem was the presence of predators.
The information about the Predator Guild obtained from the Information Guild was quite ominous. Although he wasn’t making any special movements right now, after increasing his strength, even Kang Seol could be targeted.
Whatever the circumstances, it is obvious that he is suspected of murdering four guild members.
And Kang Seol was not the type of person to leave her worries behind.
‘I’ve finished the predator side and am leaving here now.’
Now he will leave.
* * *
Snowfall continued for a few days in Kongori, and the transferees arrived at Kongori after their adventure.
“Kkeok….”
The second floor of the bar.
All the men dressed in quite luxurious clothes were drinking with tobacco in their mouths.
It is said that each person’s impression is different, but these people had such grim faces that their luxurious clothes lost their meaning.
“So it’s all gone?”
“Seo Jin-cheol, Baek Sang-gyu, everything?”
“It didn’t come back. He was even pronounced dead.”
“under! All useful babies are short-lived. “Still, they were tough kids.”
If you knew how Seo Jin-cheol and Baek Sang-gyu died, this story would be easy to understand, but anyway, they only remembered their vicious appearances.
The tough-looking people were from the predator guild.
These people were some of the quickest to adapt to the changing world. Of course, the direction was somewhat negative.
The eyes of the predator guild members turned to one place.
One guild member asked the man sitting at the head table.
“What should I do?”
“It was about work, right? “Those guys.”
“yes. “That’s why you took two more with you, right?”
“It’s getting annoying. “At an important time… what is your name?”
“Snowman… he said. “I checked and found that he had already returned.”
“Hmm… why did he die?”
“who? “You mean Baek Sang-gyu and Seo Jin-cheol?”
“Yeah, I’m not one of those guys who goes anywhere and gets beaten up.”
“If anything, I would have killed him. “They are such shark bastards.”
The nickname of the Predator Guild Master was Great White Shark.
It was a nickname befitting the fearsome appearance and owner of the predator guild.
“yes? Then what do you think about the fact that those friends died instead of the person who went to do the work? Did those bastards sacrifice themselves for him?”
“Not at all.”
“Then you killed him, right?”
“It looks like the snowman noticed the work and killed it. “I just don’t know how.”
“I heard he looked like a monk… What kind of power came out of him to send four of his family members away?”
“Maybe it’s a trap using information?”
“That makes sense.”
“Common sense tells us that immersing four people is not an easy task. “It’s not like I was even aware of the attack.”
The great white shark’s mouth was torn.
A disgusting scar crossed his lips.
Words like a snake’s whisper came out through the gap.
“For now, I’m keeping an eye on it. There is plenty of time anyway. “As long as he doesn’t leave Kongori.”
“Wouldn’t it be enough to have a few kids soak it?”
“You bastard. In everything, precedence is important. Even if killing is a foregone conclusion, how to kill is important. “We have decided to move with justice now, so if we kill someone on sight, there will be problems.”
“Oh, that’s right. But is this a good thing for us to do with justice? “Because the behavior of those bastards does not give you any confidence.”
“Will they believe us?”
“That’s not true, but….”
“We’re just drinking sweet water from each other and pretending not to know each other.”
Seup-
Huuuuu…
The white shark’s tobacco has turned black.
He suddenly thought of something funny and chuckled with an evil smile on his face.
“Would you like to tell me something interesting?”
“What is it?”
“If it weren’t for that snowman or something, all of our guild members would have come back alive from this adventure.”
“Isn’t it obvious?”
“No, kid. Have you seen any other guilds? Everyone died from embarrassment during this adventure. “There are places where half are dead.”
“Is that true?”
“Yes, this world is that kind of place now. But we’re the only ones who haven’t suffered much damage. Why? Because you’re strong? “Then why are we the only ones who are strong?”
“I… I don’t know.”
The great white shark exposed its teeth and spewed smoke.
His shining gold teeth revealed his ugly side.
“Because I’m strong. Because humans themselves are strong. Beating, killing, and betraying someone. You have no qualms about these things, right? “Other people absolutely loathe such things.”
“Is it good?”
“Puhuh… that’s good. Now look. We will start our business from this Kongori. “Do you know how ugly Jeong Won-cheol, who runs the justice guild with his foul language, is?”
“I know.”
“Woncheol Jeong reached out to us because he had no power to control the internal affairs. Because we are strong.”
“It’s probably because of my brother who is ranked second.”
“anyway. He brought in a tiger to control the sheep and wolf cubs. How dare the wolf…”
“What do you plan to do?”
“We should pretend to help Jeong Won-cheol and swallow up the Justice Guild whole. And after gradually swallowing up other guilds, we turn to the human business.”
It was the first time they had heard of the details, so the ears of the guild members turned to him.
“Do you know why we were at the bottom before?”
“I’m not sure.”
“Because there is a law. “Because there is a law.”
“yes?”
“Look at this beautiful world now. Even if you stab someone to death on the street, you won’t get caught. “With transferees.”
“ah!”
“The law disappeared and violence took its place. In the end, the one who understands this violence best will stand at the highest position.”
“Is that your brother?”
“yes.”
After finishing speaking, the great white shark pondered for a moment as if the guild member’s last words were bothersome before speaking.
“No, there’s one more guy.”
“Isn’t there one more person that’s private?”
“Yeah, that guy also earned a ton of points. He must be up to something. “We have to find that bastard.”
“Find it? “Kill me?”
“If you follow what I say, I’ll give you a reward or I’ll kill you.”
“I’ll have the kids search for it as much as I can.”
“Don’t just say it, man. From now on, what we do is the same as management. “We will increase the number of employees in an octopus manner and sell them to appropriate places.”
“This came from the Planning Justice Guild first, right?”
“The offer was made there. Jeong Won-cheol’s bag strap is short, but his hair is usable. “Let’s not kill him if possible.”
It was then.
A man burst through the bar door.
“older brother! older brother! “Where are you?”
“Brother, here you are, you bastard.”
“You were there. Jeong Won-cheol… No, that bastard is looking for you.”
“why? me?”
“I heard there’s something you need your help with, right? “Some crazy bastard came into the Justice Guild on his own, looking for his younger brother.”
“alone?”
It was strange.
No matter how low the level is, it’s struggling with just one person.
“It seems he is stronger than I thought. “We tried to suppress it by force, but there were injured people, so there is a lull right now.”
“You’re asking me to cut off an arm or kill you as an example. It’s annoying… No, you fought alone? “Is he really private?”
“Maybe so.”
“I need to prepare in advance. If I don’t think so, I should take his side.”
Similar information was delivered to Kang Seol, who was preparing for the journey at the same time.
