The 31st Piece Turns the Tables - Chapter 282
Episode 282
Adventure 33-(Special) ‘Usurper Yasha (夜叉)’
Khan, the great name of the East.
New names are added to Khan’s old values, and we are about to take another great step forward.
But now, more important things are happening than the war. A significant incident that could possibly put a dent in Khan’s greatness.
Currently, the entire area of Khan is infested with ghosts and monsters. While researching this, you hear from a ghost that the yaksha has broken the boundary.
Then a ghost wielding a strange sword appeared in front of you.
Goal: Suppress an unidentified ghost or avert a crisis.
CAUTION This adventure is very dangerous.
Please note that situations in this adventure change from moment to moment.
Current remaining time 「Unknown」
【Aaaaaaaaaah!】
As soon as Kangseol confronted the yaksha, he heard a scream. The scream was none other than a scream of sorrow.
【It hurts! It hurts so bad!】
“… What?”
Whiiiiiiik-!
Snowfall slowly retreating behind.
Chiwoo, who was inside the carriage, also got out and kept the opponent in check.
“Suddenly attacking a carriage… huh? “You’re a ghost, right?”
Snowfall confirmed the state of grief.
“heartbreak?”
【Ah… it hurts so much… my body… can’t move…】
“Grief!”
【….】
There was no reply to the sorrow.
He probably looked like he had fainted.
Fainting from grief was a problem, but the most important problem was that the culprit was still standing there with flames pouring out of his eyes.
– Dangerous snowfall.
Jamard warned Kangseol, and as if this wasn’t enough, even Ur intervened.
– Go away, snowfall. Something is strange.
‘Strange?’
– As well as the guy’s energy, the energy felt from that mask and sword is unusual. It’s infinitely ominous. I think the grief was probably caused by that sword.
Crackling…
it’s still the same.
Kang Seol recalled the mask the other person wore and the unusual-looking red sword.
Clearly, the author was a yaksha.
Yasha was not a word created overnight.
It was a name that has been around for a very long time.
That sword and mask.
“Yasha….”
“Krrrrrrr….”
The ghosts called the person whose soul was stolen by that cursed object Yasha.
And Kang Seol was aware of the ominous power that resided in that sword.
However, I thought that I would be able to endure it if it were the demonic grief. It was immediately apparent from the first collision that this was a wrong decision.
‘I was looking for a yaksha, but I found it…’
Kangseol couldn’t be happier.
The energy felt from the monster I was facing was so enormous that I had never expected it.
‘But…’
Chiwoo also looked nervous as he prepared for the Yasha’s next move, then tilted his head.
“Is he a little strange?”
The yaksha was standing in a strange posture and suffering from jerky movements.
“Ah… ah….”
At that moment, the surrounding space became chaotic.
Whoa…
Two figures suddenly appeared out of thin air.
It was not difficult to tell that they were ghosts from their masked appearance and radiating energy.
One was stocky and wearing a cool-looking mask, and the other had a fox mask with a tail and ears. It was probably a fox ghost.
said the little ghost.
“My energy is distorted. Hey Yasha… Let’s go back….”
“I can’t stay in this world any longer Yasha. “Your body…”
Kang Seol and Chi Woo widened their eyes.
‘It doesn’t make sense…’
The two ghosts were far behind the yaksha, but they still contained enormous energy.
An energy that can only be felt from beings who are more than immortal.
They were dangerous enough to make your hair stand on end.
“Are you… an enemy? “Then let’s get rid of it.”
A mysterious energy gathered in the hands of the fox ghost.
Whiiiiiii…
[Maegu uses Sweet Illusion.]
[Targets hit by the projectile have a high probability of falling into a status ailment: charmed and unable to activate defense mechanisms.]
The place where the energy is headed is Snowfall. It wasn’t Chiu’s side.
“Chiu! Danger…”
At that moment, golden energy erupted from Qiu’s body.
Huaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
The surroundings suddenly became chaos.
As if a storm had passed.
“What…”
Kang Seol also looked at Chi Woo in confusion.
What on earth is this?
Clearly, even if Chiu was able to block this energy, he would have had a much harder time than he is now.
However, Qiu did not react in any particular way, but a golden energy suddenly rose up and drove away the demonic energy.
‘This can’t be right…’
Someone’s scent remained in that energy.
Although Chiu, the person involved, was equally dazed, he was able to fully predict why this energy occurred.
– what’s this?
– haha! You’ll find out later.
– later?
– Yes, if the trip to a distant place ends.
– Tell me more about what it is.
The realization that Hyemyeong came to young Chiwoo and left behind. Now it was slowly sticking its head out.
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
?
As the golden energy wavered, the yaksha growled.
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu her her her her her her her she her her she her she she her her she she she she her it it it it it it it or it or it or it or it/
or it it was? I can’t do this. I’m going to have a seizure soon. Glow-in-the-dark him…”
“Ah, I understand! “I’ll catch you!”
A small ghost called a luminous ghost clung to the yaksha’s body. The Yaksha surrendered herself to the Night Demon without much resistance.
Damn it…
The Yasha’s body gradually froze.
“Come back quickly! “Go to your hometown!”
Chijijijijichichi…
Chijijijijijichik…
In an instant, the space became distorted and their figures disappeared before their eyes.
It only took a moment for the beings that had been putting a lot of pressure on Kang Seol and Chi-woo to disappear.
“… What are those ghosts? Yacha? Yacha?”
“….”
Kang Seol looked at the limp heart and sighed.
At that time, Jinryeo came running from behind, carrying Gokbi on her back.
“finger! No, that… Kangseol! Please help us!”
“Are you… Jinryeo?”
“Gokbi was seriously injured!”
* * *
Jinryeo and Gokbi got into the carriage that Kang Seol and his party were riding in and moved towards the garrison.
Whenever Gokbi’s expression became distorted whenever he felt something shaking, everyone held their hands tightly.
Jinryeo kept wiping the sweat from Gokbi’s face as he went.
Fortunately, Kangseol was able to provide first aid, so it wasn’t life-threatening, but even so, he lost too much blood.
Rumbling…
The carriage finally arrived at the station.
A garrison located in terrain that is unlikely to be easily found on Ki Island.
“Seolhong… you came.”
“Brother.”
Taeyul greeted them with a haggard look.
Since the news of Jinryeo and Gokbi had not yet been received, he could not greet Seolhong with such joy.
“I think we need to urgently call a doctor now.”
“… what? “What do you mean?”
“That’s…”
squeak…
“Heh… hehe… Taeyul.”
“Is it true?”
When Jin-rye and Gok-bi appeared in the carriage, Tae-yul’s complexion brightened, but then darkened again when he saw Gok-bi’s blood-soaked clothes.
“lawmaker! Bring in the congressman! hurry!”
When Seolhong and his party arrived, the garrison became noisy again.
The dark atmosphere of the garrison instantly brightened, just like when Shinyo and Jangdu arrived.
While Kang Seol and his group looked around the station, Tae Yul headed to the hospital bed with Jin Ryeo and Gok Bi. He heard about the situation there through Jinryeo.
“what? Is that really true? “A ghost existed that you and Gokbi couldn’t even touch?”
“Yes… If we hadn’t come across the carriage, we would have been by now…”
“The carriage… Are you really talking about Seolhong’s carriage?”
Nod…
Jinryeo nodded and continued explaining.
“If it wasn’t for Kang Seol, I would have definitely suffered a great disaster. “I said Kunna would face Daeun in the morning, but I don’t know…”
Taeyul said with a long sigh.
“Thank goodness heaven helped.”
While they were talking, Gokbi came to his senses.
“Ugh….”
“Gokbi! “Are you conscious?”
“Taeyul… I guess I lost my mind.”
However, Jinryeo, who was looking at them having an emotional reunion, soon found himself in a difficult situation.
– Jinryeo.
‘Kunna?’
Kunna, the jinn who signed a contract with her, spoke to her. And then I handed over the business.
‘what? suddenly? Now wait a minute, if that happens, I’ll be in trouble!’
– That is the situation of you humans. Will you reject the law?
Jinn contractors had to follow Jinn laws.
Although it was a law to accommodate Jin’s whims, the contract was maintained only if it was fulfilled.
‘But how on earth can I explain this…’
– It’s your job.
‘too bad!’
Jinryeo carefully approached Taeyul, who was looking at Gokbi who was sleeping again.
“Um… Taeyul.”
“You worked hard, Jinryeo. “Thanks to you, I was able to protect a lot of things.”
“Hehe… well… I have something to tell you…”
“It looks like you have something to say. “Speak.”
Jinryeo closed his eyes tightly and said.
“That is… the law of Kunna was moved.”
“… Your djinn asked something from you. “What was that?”
“Well…”
Jinryeo pouted her lips as if she was in trouble and then spoke quietly.
“… I think I will have to move with Seolhong for the time being.”
“….”
“You may all be embarrassed, but this is Kunna’s dogmatic opinion that does not even contain my personal opinion as much as the intestines of an ant.”
“Go ahead.”
“yes?”
“I told you to do it.”
“Eh? Don’t you hold on? Aren’t we even that close? “Maybe I was the only one who was so nervous for no reason…”
Taeyul answered with a grin.
“That’s not why. What can be achieved through forced loyalty? “Don’t worry too much about it.”
“Taeyul….”
“Jin gives advice for the world and the contractor. Perhaps spending time with Seolhong will help you more.”
“But Seolhong is definitely Taeyul’s competitor?”
“Yes, he was a competitor. However, there are no permanent enemies or permanent friends. A crisis has arrived in Cannes. It’s a difficult time to overcome with just Taeyul’s strength right now. “Everyone must work together.”
Jinryeo looked impressed by Taeyul’s words.
“Don’t get caught up, Jinryeo. If it traps you.”
“I will keep this in mind! “I… But…”
She said what she wanted to say, ignoring Taeyul’s touching advice.
“It’s okay if you don’t promise to come back, right?”
“Tsk… Tsk… That’s it.”
“And my salary is….”
“Okay. “I will take care of you without being harsh.”
“As expected, Taeyul is the best. “I plan to come back anytime, as long as Kunna allows me!”
“Those are empty words.”
“As expected, Taeyul, you are quick to notice!”
* * *
Jinryeo quickly rushed over and told Kangseol what had happened. I thought it would be better to have Kang Seol, who at least knew each other’s names, than to Seol Hong, whom we had never met.
Although he was free, he had to use his strength to become friends with Kang Seol in order to be by Seol Hong’s side.
Kang Seol, who heard the story, asked back as if it were absurd.
“So… what?”
“For the time being, Kunna tells me to chase after Finger… no, Kang Seol.”
“Who is Kunna?”
“Jin! “Oh, this is Jin who signed a contract with me.”
“….”
“Taeyul gave permission. yes?”
When I relayed this to Seolhong, he said, ‘Do it that way.’ The word came back.
As a result, Jinryeo moved in with Seolhong for the time being.
That evening, Seolhong, Shinyo, and Taeyul gathered together in a tent at the garrison.
Of course, there were also those who followed them.
“Fuhahaha! It seems like you’re not really out of your mind. “Now, I see people mistaking their place.”
“masthead! “Am I standing properly now?”
“… what?”
Shinyo pinched Jangdu’s thigh to tell him to be careful, but due to Jangdu’s strong muscles, he could only give a stinging sensation. Still, Jangdu pursed his lips and looked somewhere else, as if Shinyo’s intention had been properly conveyed.
Shinyo sighed lightly.
“I had no idea the three of us would come together like this.”
“Me too. I’m so glad and grateful that everyone came here after listening to my request. “You two were the only Yonghwas in this area who were able to normalize the city, so you needed help.”
Taeyul nodded to Jinryeo.
Jinryeo soon explained the situation on Giseom.
“It’s full of ghosts and monsters. The scale of the enemies is beyond imagination. “If we collide head-on, there will be enormous damage.”
“How does it compare to the size of the garrison?”
“The power difference will be at least ten times greater. This is also set to the minimum. “It is impossible to deal with them with untrained people.”
“….”
Taeyul closed his eyes for a moment and continued thinking before saying this.
“Giseom is, at best, a city made of stones and wood. If I had the same mindset, I would have waited for the support of large troops and then taken it down completely. One…”
He bit his lip.
“There are still imperial citizens remaining inside.”
“Is that true?”
“Jinryeo and Gokbi confirmed it. “It looks like he hid in a cave to avoid ghosts and monsters.”
“Hanshi is in an urgent situation…”
The situation was so difficult that even Shinyo frowned.
Taeyul spread his fingers.
“5 days.”
“Five days?”
“In five days, some of the central troops dispatched to the restored city will join us. Among them, giant soldiers are also included. If we do that, our power will be equal to that of the enemy, and the damage to our troops will be much reduced in the battle to reclaim the city.”
Jinryeo shook her head.
“I can’t last five days. “The food in the crypt has long since run out, and they have been starving for several days.”
“….”
“And the worst part is… I suspect an infectious disease. “The number of people complaining of unexplained symptoms is increasing one by one.”
Taeyul looked at Gyujin sitting next to him.
Gyu-jin was a great shaman who was looking to become the next great shaman, but now he was Tae-yul’s subordinate.
“Wherever ghosts gather, pestilence always follows. Moreover, the crypt is a place vulnerable to diseases. Perhaps what Jinryeo said is true.”
Seolhong, Shinyo, and Taeyul talked about the revised strategy late into the night.
And finally it came to a conclusion.
Taeyul said after drawing the attention of the audience.
“Originally, I would not have used this method. “Everyone who takes on this task must risk their lives, and the probability of success is at least 50%, or more accurately, 50%.”
“….”
“But the situation right now is not worse than I expected.”
He grinned.
“Because you are here.”
