The 31st Piece Turns the Tables - Chapter 314
Chapter 314
The places where the Yaksha reappeared were mostly cities that he had once swept through.
“Aaaah!”
“You have to move away!”
Now, there were citizens who were scared and ran away at the mere sight of the mask, but those who had at least some understanding of what was going on stopped running and looked back.
They could be seen not only in the city where Yasha and Kangseol and his party were currently fighting, but also in other cities they passed through.
Their battle began in the fields of Sangyo, but they could be seen all over the Khan Continent.
This was a trace of boundary transition that would later be called Yachaheun.
The citizens of Hucheng, the space where Kangseol and his party actually exist, paid attention to the fight.
“Isn’t that… Seolhong… Seolhong?”
“That’s right! that’s right!”
“Didn’t Seolhong die on Giseom?”
“Who else is fighting that mask?”
“You wouldn’t know it if you saw it? “He must have been a great man who went above and beyond for Khan!”
There was an old rumor in the East that when a khan was in danger, there were great men who would rise up on their own accord.
I don’t know if this was actually the case, but in the current situation, it was quite credible.
[Glow-in-the-dark ears use flying hail.]
[Fires projectiles sporadically. The size and destructive power of the projectile increases as the surrounding area is full of frost energy.] [
The projectile does not disappear immediately after impact and continuously emits frost energy, chilling the surrounding area.]
Crumbling…
Luminous ears. When I put my hands together, ice shards were created in the air.
A size much larger than that of an adult’s head.
As the glow-in-the-dark ghost’s eyes lit up, they all turned towards Chiu.
“under!”
[Chiu uses a whirlwind.]
[The projectile temporarily loses its target.]
[Projectiles that come into contact with the whirlwind do not know where they will go.]
Whoo! Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc
their the hailstones came into contact with Qiu’s tornado and were scattered in all directions.
Kwazijijijik-! Kwazizig!
A piece of hail that just hits the ground creates a large groove that settles there and grows larger.
Some of them collided with the transparent barrier holding the space together.
“Aaaah!”
“Dangerous!”
Citizens were scared and tried to avoid the hailstones, but it seemed difficult because the speed of the projectiles was so fast.
Touuuuung-!
Kwazizig-!
Fortunately, the projectile bounces off when it hits the wall.
“Phew… Phew….”
“I lived.”
This provided a basis for citizens to stay nearby with peace of mind. There were few people who wouldn’t look back at someone at least once if they fought for them.
That was the current situation.
“Don’t… avoid…”
“Are you telling me to die?”
“I’m getting scolded… by Maegu.”
Paaaa-!
Chiwoo snuggled into the glow-in-the-dark demon’s arms.
The glow-in-the-dark demon reflexively stretched out his hand to block his charge.
A normal opponent would not have dared to approach a glow-in-the-dark demon. The glow-in-the-dark demon was famous for freezing anyone it came into contact with.
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch…
However, Chiu had a special power that could offset the power of the glow-in-the-dark demon.
The brilliant power planted by Hyemyeong shone.
“Uh… uh….”
“Just one shot.”
Damn it…
The glow-in-the-dark demon hurriedly surrounded its body with a solid block of ice.
Kwajiiiikik-!
And Chiwoo’s fist falls on top of it.
“Aaaahhh!”
The ice that protected the glow-in-the-dark ears shattered in an instant.
Chiwoo, who saw this, was filled with confidence.
Duoksini’s judgment was correct.
To the ghosts, the power of Hye-myeong held by Seol-hong and Chi-woo was truly terrifying.
“What is this?…”
It was natural that an immortal-level glow-in-the-dark demon would be indifferent to them.
A fish cannot resist a bird’s beak.
“Let me ask you one thing.”
“It hurts, human…”
“What is the purpose?”
“… purpose?”
“Okay, purpose. Yacha, even if that’s the case, don’t you two have a purpose?”
“I don’t have anything like that…”
“What?”
The glow-in-the-dark ear stuttered and scratched its head.
“Maegu… told me to do this… or I would be imprisoned in Sacheon Prison again…”
Chiu’s eyebrows twitched.
There didn’t seem to be any lies in what Nightgwang-gwi said.
He was just a puppet following Maegu’s instructions.
Whirling-!
The blade bounced off the battlefield between Chiu and the glow-in-the-dark demon.
Chiik…
Maegu is also there, having been pushed away by something.
“Maegoo!”
When the glow-in-the-dark ghost called Maegu, she frowned.
“What are you doing when you can’t subdue a single human, glow-in-the-dark bastard?”
“But… Maegu too…”
“Be quiet! Humans can never defeat us. “Because we are ghosts that even the Four Heavenly Prisons couldn’t confine.”
“That’s… that’s not right…”
Piiiiiiing…
Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssther aside!
A blade protruded from the fog.
“It’s no use!”
Kaaaaaaaaaa!
Maegu’s vicious claws struck Seolhong’s blade.
Jeok… Jeok…
Seolhong walks out of the fog.
Like Chiu, she was also surrounded by a golden aura.
“That power… it’s annoying! “It’s literally the worst when it comes to preventing the invasion of ghost energy.”
“I agree with you.”
“… I can’t help it. It might also have an impact on the Yasha fight…”
“Huh? Huh? what?”
Maegu exchanged a look with the glow-in-the-dark ghost.
Only then did the glow-in-the-dark ghost realize what Maegu was thinking.
“okay!”
Seuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
[The glow-in-the-dark spirit uses bitter cold.]
[Spreads frost energy around.]
[Nearby enemies are exposed to frost energy.]
The surrounding temperature drops rapidly.
To make matters worse, Maegu also showed off his tricks.
[Maegu uses the fog of diffusion.]
[Maximizes the area effect of allies, including himself.]
[The range and effect of the area are increased.]
Blah blah blah…
The energy of frost spreads across the entire space. It started to fill up.
When the situation reached this point, Chiu and Seolhong also joined in.
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
at the combination of the golden energy creating an even bigger aura than before.
“Ugh….”
“They hid.”
Not only did the frosty fog fill the entire field of vision, but it also drastically lowered the surrounding temperature, restricting Seolhong and Chiwoo’s actions.
Glow-in-the-Dark Demons and Magu gain the upper hand simply by taking control of space even without performing any special attack actions.
Chiu and Seolhong decided to respond as they had agreed beforehand.
But right then.
Sigh…
The frost energy could not maintain its shape and began to melt.
Has he even given up on fighting?
No, it wasn’t.
The situation came into view as even Maegu and the glow-in-the-dark ghost were separated from each other in embarrassment.
Rumbling…
And behind it, someone spouting huge flames was driving the yaksha. That’s why we were able to confirm that something like this had happened.
* * *
Kaaaaaaaaaaaa!
The Yaksha did not say anything.
The sight of him silently swinging his sword looked like a landscape.
“….”
Karen, who was dealing with him, also kept her mouth shut for a long time.
Whilick-!
Again.
Irregular movement.
The Yaksha ignored the sword stabbing at his abdomen and aimed the sword at his neck.
“Ugh…”
The night crow also noticed the yaksha’s attack and took his step away as quickly as possible, but had no choice but to allow it to be cut on the shoulder.
Chuuuk…
Puhwaaaak…
The original blood regenerated the night raven’s wounds, and the yaksha’s wounds were filled by the yaksha itself.
“It’s so monster-like.”
“….”
Pod-!
Kaaaaaaaa!
An opponent whose remaining talents do not work.
They had no choice but to evaluate each other that way.
If you look away even for a moment, the sword will fly towards your vital spot.
Kaaaaaaaa! Kaaaaaaaaaa!
Apart from their fierce fight, the sound of swords clashing against each other was clear.
Whilick-!
The sword flies towards the neck again.
“Where!”
Karen defended the attack by raising her grief.
Biting, squeezing, squeezing…
A brief power struggle.
Although I had to give my best at this moment, it was relatively better than having to follow the movement of the sword.
Because I was given time to squeeze in some free time.
After clashing swords with the yaksha, I started thinking a lot.
– Think less, Karen.
These were the words that Lane always repeated to Karen.
– Once you draw the sword, leave it to the sword. The sword is the knight’s will. Hesitation and hesitation are also reflected in the sword. So you should only think about defeating your opponent. You think too much Karen. hmm! Yeah, what can I say? It was so…
wrong.
I was scolded for thinking too much, but after drawing my sword, I thought of it again. Are there any other skits like this?
“cheer up!”
“Don’t lose!”
“please! Please win!”
A sound was heard.
Complaints that sound like howling beyond the curtain.
How evil the yaksha is and how harmful his existence is to the world.
– You are so sweet Karen. Being kind is the worst thing for a clumsy prosecutor.
Yaksha’s sword and Bitan put their heads together and tried to push each other away.
The dissonance created by lines soon influenced Karen as well.
Many questions were resolved and even more questions were raised.
Karen, the immortal knight.
She is now…
“Do it in moderation!”
I was feeling afraid.
[The time of self-disposal has arrived.]
[The probability of enlightenment occurring in a short period of time increases significantly.]
The eyes inside the mask of the yaksha that embrace endless darkness.
Karen, who saw that, thought that time was passing slowly at some point.
‘There was a time like this…’
When defeating the attack of Rayne, the Knight of the Sun. Like when I made a bet with Moby Dick.
I thought as I split the sword.
‘It can’t be helped.’
I let the dark instinct of the flying Yasha stop me.
I had to think.
– Karen.
“… uh?”
– What are you thinking, you idiot?
what.
Where did the yaksha go?
Lane, a man with a bushy beard, was sitting around the campfire, looking at Karen.
“Yaksa….”
“Yaksha? “I’ve already put in enough vegetables… but take it.”
A crude bowl of hot stew was handed to Karen.
“Ahhhh… it’s hot!”
“It’s because you have to boil it for a long time to get the best taste. “Just like you.”
“So that’s why you put out that much porridge again today?”
“Hahaha! “Well, it has that meaning.”
Karen, who was stirring the stew with a spoon, asked Lane. Could it be that he came to give us an answer?
No, it seemed like this was just a memory I had forgotten.
“You know, Lane.”
“swimming?”
“… Let’s finish eating and then talk.”
“I swallowed. “Say it.”
“I think I met a really strong prosecutor.”
“me?”
“… not.”
“Hmm… I thought I eliminated all the other strong guys except this lane… I was really sloppy too.”
“Oh, stop talking nonsense…”
“This guy! “I can’t treat my teacher’s words like gold!”
“a little!”
Slurp…
Lane said, drinking hot stew.
“How is he?”
“huh? what?”
“Swordsmanship.”
“Why swordsmanship?”
“Stupid swordsman is all about swordsmanship, so what else is there?”
Karen pointed to Lane’s chest.
“here.”
“The pectoralis major is an important virtue, but….”
“No, the mind.”
“…go ahead.”
She continued her explanation.
“I met a prosecutor who felt like this place was clogged.”
“so?”
“It didn’t shake at all. It just seemed like the sword was moving on its own. So I’m scared. “I’m afraid I’ll lose.”
“I…”
“Aren’t you scared? A heartless prosecutor. “I wonder how scary a guy with castrated emotions must be…”
“I met him.”
“… what?”
“No…”
Clatter… Clatter…
Lane said, scratching the bottom of the stew.
“I tried killing him. “With these hands.”
“….”
Lane talks casually about murder. I forgot about it for a moment, but the number of wicked people who died by his hands was countless.
“This guy was strongly possessed by an evil spirit. The number of imperial citizens killed by this bastard alone was dozens… no, it could have been over a hundred. “I was shocked when I first saw that skill.”
Perhaps there might be an answer to Lane’s story.
“How did you win?”
“How do you win? “I won by stabbing hard.”
“… Eh?”
“That’s it. “Why did you expect anything?”
“No, that’s not right… I shouldn’t have done that…”
“Puh-huh… I thought I’d say thank you for taking care of my teacher who had been drinking and beating me up, but he avenged me as expected.”
“Wasn’t he strong?”
“It was strong.”
Karen looked into Lane’s eyes.
“But I was stronger. “That’s it.”
Lane’s eyes were no different from those of a country bumpkin.
It meant that there was nothing special about him.
However, no one in this era would deny that he is the strongest knight.
“Karen. “I know what you’re talking about.”
“yes? also.”
“I’ll give you the answer. “Then are you going to follow along?”
“Uh… listen?”
“Tsk tsk… guy.”
Lane placed his hand on Karen’s head.
“The sword is everything.”
“A.C….”
“Listen quietly. “If you’re going to talk about your feelings and all that.”
Sigh…
He picked up a tree branch that had fallen on the ground.
“How can I pierce your heart with this branch?”
“What are you talking about… It’s scary.”
“No, think seriously.”
Karen said after thinking carefully about Lane’s words.
“First of all, tree branches can’t pierce the armor, so we’ll have to take advantage of the gaps where the armor is removed, right?”
“and?”
“It would be a good idea to take advantage of the time when he is asleep so that he cannot respond.”
“and?”
“Hook! how is it?”
“It was wrong from the beginning.”
“What really! “What is the answer?”
“The method you use is one that only strategists use. “This is not the method of inspection.”
Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssserie
…
It can break through.
Somehow, Karen had that thought.
That branch would pierce his chest armor and reach his heart.
“Do you understand?”
“….”
“All the processes you have thought of can be condensed into one simple process of further honing your skills.”
“… ah!”
“That’s the prosecutor. “That’s the article.”
Lane expanded his explanation.
“The sword is ultimately a means. Because we are the ones who use the sword as an efficient means to achieve our goals. “If I had a better tool than a sword, I would have brought out my heart or something like you said.”
“… I see.”
“Are you disappointed? “Because there is no romance.”
“No, not really.”
“Hmm… I’m disappointed. “Then let me tell you something that may be helpful to you now.”
Karen listened.
“The reason why he was able to murder that heartless prosecutor is a lie.”
“… What are you talking about?”
“Actually, I respected you, Master. “I got hit a little bit, but it’s a common occurrence.”
“….”
“He mutilated Master’s body so that it was unrecognizable. “The moment I saw that, something boiled in my heart and I couldn’t hold it back.”
Lane said it as if it was a secret.
“I cried a lot. I’ve never cried so much in my life. I chased after him and fought him. It was an opponent I could never, ever beat. But…”
he continued, tilting his head.
“For some reason, the sword was visible that day.”
“what?”
“My arms felt lighter than usual. The technology went in neatly. “Isn’t it amazing?”
“What is that…”
“Maybe… the mind can also be a tool that can be used along with the sword. How do you feel? “This is the answer.”
“… Rain becomes stronger when he cries. … It’s not cool.”
“All those who laughed at the man’s hot tears died by my hands. Do you want to join them too?”
Sigh…
They look at each other with a grin.
A wall that Karen cannot overcome.
Knight of the Sun, Lane.
“Karen, a clumsy prosecutor castrates emotions. And…”
He nodded.
“A strong prosecutor even uses emotions. Use your heart as firewood to burn even brighter! Then, one day, the sun of Montra may reach me!”
“I have no energy at all!”
Lane laughed.
“Don’t be a sloppy prosecutor, Karen.”
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
The landscape instantly melted into flames.
A flame erupted that would burn even Lane to its bones.
“
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-
Huo Woo-woong …
Paaah-!
Raven Karen’s movements changed completely.
[Uses a star.]
[Creates heat while spinning and also absorbs heat within a certain radius.] [ The range of all fire attacks increases by 150%.]

[All damage received while spinning is reduced by 50%.]
[500% damage is split per rotation.]

[Rotation speed increases by 50%.]
[Rotates 120 times.]
Huaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
“Wow! “Twirl and spin!”
A momentary rotation.
Bitan complained of dizziness.
Kakaa Gakkaga…
The yaksha is swayed by shock and is pushed away.
“Kahahahaha!”
Grrrr rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…
It was her flame that cleared away the frost fog, a collaboration between the glow-in-the-dark demon and the magu.
Grumbling!
Her scarf was layered over her armor as if it were steel.
The flames formed a certain shape and some began to envelop the heartbreak.
Rumbling…
“Huh?”
【Chiiii….】
As the flames covered it, the blade of grief became sharp like a sawtooth.
【I like this!】
[Enlightenment! A new ability is awakened.]
[Night Raven: The Shadow Hand is transformed.]
[Night Raven: Incomplete Combustion is awakened.]
[Night Raven: Incomplete Combustion is born!]
Rumbling…
A thick helmet with a flickering flame. .
Karen, the kind-hearted prosecutor, spoke with her heart full of sorrow.
“Thank you Yacha!”
“….”
“Thanks to you, I’m starting to see it.”
The incredible density of the fight brought enlightenment like water flowing from a dam.
see.
The road to Lane.
The road to the sun.
[Get ready. A great step is imminent.]
[The time of driving away turns into a meteor shower.]
[Meteor shower! If the meteor shower condition is maintained, enlightenment will continue to come.]
The entire area will be covered in a sea of fire . Their fight, which turned them into , continued while Khan’s people watched.
