The 31st Piece Turns the Tables - Chapter 352
Episode 352:
The black burning fist of the mountain.
Tsuzzzzzzzzzzzz…
Except for the sleepyhead, the eyes of the rest of the staff widened.
Since it was a fairly unusual change at first glance, such a reaction naturally followed.
Whioooooo…
Living things increase the value of an object to its limit by engraving the object of reverence on it. It imprints a nobility that goes beyond utility.
Before the transfer, the action would have simply been to create a slightly better-looking object, but in the current situation, it could even affect the abilities of the object.
An engraving that looks like a dragon climbing a rocky mountain.
I suddenly felt like someone was reminding me.
‘This is…’
Kangseol looked at the messages that came to mind in detail.
[New Item: The Fist of the Mountain changes into New Item: Legacy of an Age.]
[New Item: Legacy of an Age is born!]
[Amazing discovery! Witnessing the birth of a new object.]
“Hmm… Now this item is Tancrid’s final legacy.”
The sleepyhead’s words could no longer be heard properly.
Although there have been cases where a sacred object has been handed over or acquired, its birth has never actually been confirmed.
‘Where…’
[Novel: Legacy of the Age]
Grade: Novel
Appropriate level: None
Attack power: (+8 per level) (current additional attack power +344)
Durability: 200/200
Weight: 2.0kg x 2
Holds the ground for a long time A fighting armor that inherits the energy of the dragon it protected. It is a new item created by adding the essence of a glacier to the scales of an earth dragon. Because it is blessed with the blessings of the oldest tree, the sleepyhead, it is highly effective even among new items.
Basic ability: All abilities + 50
Special ability: Spell range and destructive power increase by 100% Enter meteor shower state when dealing with a friendly opponent Basic ability increases step by step as the battle progresses.
‘…100% increase?’
There is no doubt that the Fist of the Mountain is a powerful new item that can be obtained in the beginning, but the adventure of Snowfall is now quite advanced.
No matter how meaningful the item was to Jamard, it was difficult to use it based only on the magic range and 50% increase in destructive power options, as other abilities did not keep up with the level.
However, the legacy of the newly born era perfectly solved those difficulties.
First, the magic range and destructive power, which were core options, increased significantly from a 50% increase to a 100% increase.
Jamard is a shaman who uses such magic, so the power he can exert is literally doubled.
Of course, since there was a 50% increase option before, it may be less noticeable than that, but it was the best weapon for a shaman.
And the second basic ability increased ridiculously.
The existing Fist of the Mountain gave a total of 23 additional abilities, but this was a very low number.
‘It was a new item I got in the beginning…’
But now, I was able to increase my ability by almost 300 at once, which was more than 10 times more.
‘No, this is the way it should be… Even if I had worn other non-exclusive weapons, my stats would have been raised this much.’
Since I used the Fist of the Mountain, which is the most core equipment among the core equipment, while crying because of one option, the increase in basic abilities will be even more noticeable.
After replacing a 20-year-old old refrigerator, there was a gap as if an ice purifier was installed in the refrigerator.
And the other options were great too.
When engaging with an enemy, the meteor shower is maintained and basic abilities are increased.
‘I’ll be able to use it properly until the second half of the game.’
When a tiger dies, it leaves its skin, and people leave their names, but dragons leave their equipment.
Whioooooooo…
Jammad taming the black armor with a flick of his hand.
“The rough taste is gone.”
The sleepyhead frowned at the harsh evaluation, but laughed again.
“It’s her energy that remains in the garden.”
“….”
Jamard slowly closed his eyes, probably remembering Tancred’s last words.
Since it was an awkward situation to talk about, Kang Seol checked the newly acquired titles.
[Achieve the special achievement ‘Natural Death’.]
[Obtain the special title ‘Environmental Protector’]
[Achieve the special achievement ‘Crisis’]
[Obtain the special title ‘Lucky Person’.]
[Special title: [Environmental Protector]
Related Achievements: Environmental Protector (Adventure: Dragon’s Helper)
Special Ability: When causing death to an enemy using environmental damage, the experience gained from the target increases.
[Special Title: Lucky One]
Related Achievement: Critical Strike (Adventure: Dragon’s Helper)
Special Ability: When running away from a powerful enemy, you become immune to Status Abnormality: Fear.
‘Hmm…’
Neither of them were such good options.
It wasn’t very often that we had to hunt enemies using environmental damage, and there weren’t that many cases where we ran away from powerful enemies.
‘It’s better than nothing, but…’
It was literally a special title.
Usually this was normal.
That’s why Snowfall was happy when a battle-related title came out.
‘Then this harvest…’
Jamard took it all.
On the one hand, Kang Seol liked it, but on the other hand, she felt an inexplicable anxiety.
I would soon be able to confirm the true nature of that anxiety, but in any case, I had the feeling that I was not standing on the road.
‘I guess I’ll have to do a self-inspection soon.’
Is this really true? The question slowly raised its head.
“Okay… then would you all please leave my garden now?”
At the sleepyhead’s greeting, Tantuinu stepped forward and slightly lowered his head.
“Thank you for your help, old tree.”
“Help? “This is a deal.”
A sleepyhead pointing at the snowfall with its stem.
“That man did the garden a favor, so I also did a favor. Now that I think about it, I see that he also has a connection with Tancred. It’s ironic that her last place was in my garden. “Would you like me to see your future, young dragon?”
A sleepyhead who remembers his relationship with Tancred and tries to give advice. Tantuinu thought for a moment and shook his head.
“I am okay. Azanik has retreated and I will be safe for a while. So, instead of me…”
Ugh…
She pointed at Snowfall.
“Can I use this opportunity to receive favor for this person?”
“Hmm… why?”
“It is these people, not me, whom my mother has entrusted the future to. “I want to help them.”
“Hehehe… Tancred, she was deep in thought too.”
Although Kangseol was embarrassed by Tantuinu’s sudden cooperation, he had no intention of wasting the long-awaited opportunity.
In times like this, staying quiet was a way to get a little more out of it.
“good night. “Let’s take a peek into the future of this little creature.”
A kind of prophecy.
Or a trust.
In the eternal world, there was a system like this.
A system in which the prophecy of a transcendent being intervenes in upcoming choices.
If the transcendent person said that he would be unhappy, he had to struggle to avoid being unhappy in order to avoid danger, and if he said that he would be lucky, he had to find a way to maximize that luck.
However, Kang Seol was not particularly pleased with the prophecy system.
‘You said it as if something had been decided, as if there was fate.’
If everything happens as they say, isn’t that fate and everything has already been decided?
The anticipation of rolling the dice will disappear and all desires will lose meaning.
“Your future is messy, little creature. There are too many variables in the future… Uhm….”
Kang Seol said with a grin.
If things continue like this, ‘I don’t know?’ It seemed like I was going to be kicked out with those words.
Even if you don’t like prophecy, isn’t it human nature to want to at least try to refer to it?
“What about the nearest future?”
“That’s why I’m saying it.”
“… yes?”
Kang Seol’s expression hardened.
It was because the words sounded somewhat strange.
“…your future is cut off.”
Kang Seol instinctively knew what this meant.
“I’m going to die. you. “In the near future.”
“To die… that’s… impossible…”
“To be exact, it means that there is a very high probability of dying. Hehehehe… Don’t be too upset.”
– You speak like a bastard.
– ??? : Death is natural! Don’t be too upset. me? I live long? If you ask me, I wonder if you lived as a tree too lol
– Shocking! There will be nothing to see in the future!
– do not die! There’s nothing to see when you die!
[Prophecy: An ominous future is predicted.]
[Prophecies do not bring definite results.]
[Prophecies may or may not come true depending on future choices.]
[Future choices will determine many things. ]
Jamaard and Tantuinu protested when they heard that Snowfall would die in the near future.
“That… that can’t be possible! As long as I am there, snowfall….”
“That’s right. Tree! He…”
The sleepyhead yawned.
“Ha-am… That’s what it says. “That’s the future I see.”
He tapped the shoulder of Snowfall, who was standing blankly, with his stem. Kangseol looked into the sleepyhead’s eyes with blurry eyes.
“I don’t see any possibility for you. For what reason? You will have to find the answer yourself. Umm… I’m sure there’s something I can say that will help you though… Umm… Ah! okay!”
The tree said.
“There are no shortcuts. The wise already know that. That’s why I just run fast on the designated path.”
“You just run fast….”
“Sometimes a sound mind will keep your order. “You who have no process, only results… that may protect your future.”
There were no more words.
This is the only clue I got.
To dismiss it as nonsense spoken by a tree was not something to be taken lightly since it was the entity that had blown away Azanic across the continent.
It was a matter to ponder deeply.
The sleepyhead yawned and lowered his head.
“You’re sleepy… Now leave…”
* * *
Snowfall and the others were transferred to a forest connected to the underground garden.
I couldn’t ask him to send me away like Ajanik. Perhaps because the sleeper used his power once, the only place where he could transfer was nearby.
Still, it was steadily heading south-east.
Anyone who hears that the schedule was delayed for a moment due to being chased by a dragon will think it’s nonsense spoken by a drunkard.
Snowfall looked at Tantuinu, who was deep in thought, and said.
“Tantuinu is an ominous prophecy. Tantuinu left it to me….”
Tantuinu shook his head.
“This is the future that my mother chose. “I was once foolish and doubted the future, but now I believe.”
“Tantuinu.”
She smiled broadly.
This may have been the first smile I saw during my trip.
“Follow your mother’s will. “I hope we meet again someday.”
[The charm activates. I get additional crush.]
[I get the helper ‘young Tan-soo’.]
[‘Young Tan-in’ is immortal
.
]
The earth dragon flew into the sky before my eyes.
A mysterious feeling, like a midnight dream.
But that dream did not end well.
“If I keep this up, I’m going to die…? “I heard that this is why I hate things like prophecy.”
Is the future actually set?
Maybe he jumped into that picture.
After Tantuinu left, Snowfall continued to walk southeast.
day.
Two days.
And one week.
I didn’t choose the faster route.
Walking itself will give you time to organize your thoughts.
I had to think.
I couldn’t just ignore what the sleepyhead said.
When two weeks had passed, Snowfall asked Jamard, who was walking with her, up a mountain with no one around.
“Why are you outside?”
“The shadow is uncomfortable because it is being eaten by Tantuinu’s huge egg.”
“Oh, that’s right.”
Kang Seol chuckled and continued asking questions.
“Jamade, have you achieved everything you wanted?”
Jamard responded with an expression as if asking what he was talking about.
“I still have a long way to go. “What I want is higher up.”
That’s his answer.
And then the question came back.
“Does it bother you that you’re going to die?”
“… I guess?”
“As long as I’m here, you don’t have to worry. “Who would dare send you back to dust?”
That’s correct.
But at the same time, it was a thought-provoking statement.
Suddenly, it seemed natural for Jamard to be by his side. It may be seen as a natural relationship between a summoner and a summoned beast, but the relationship between the two was different from a normal relationship.
He couldn’t be by my side at every moment.
While the snowfall’s summons were on a break, Jamard was the only one who could properly exert his strength.
In some ways, I continued to get stronger, but the anxiety persisted.
And if you think about the time when that anxiety was greatly heightened, it was when Jamard reached the highest level.
When Snowfall saw him passing through that dark tunnel with all his might, she felt something.
Now I can’t remember exactly what I felt back then. But it was definitely related to anxiety.
‘Someday… I too will reach that light…’
Someday I will reach that light.
But at some point, it’s an abstract word.
‘… how?’
The snowfall suddenly stopped just before the summit, as if struck by lightning.
“Why are you doing that?”
When Jamard asked, Kang Seol gave a cursory answer and walked on.
‘How are you going to get there? I am?’
I realized the reality of anxiety.
If things continued like this, Snowfall would never be able to reach the highest level.
It was only his summons that became stronger.
It wasn’t Kang Seol himself.
Snowfall arrives at the summit with a serious expression.
Ddduddudd…
“Hey Snowfall.”
“….”
“Snowfall!”
Snowfall suddenly turns her head at Jamard’s words.
“Look over there!”
The whole earth shook.
Kangseol wondered if there had been an earthquake, but after looking at the direction Jamad’s finger pointed, Kangseol was able to figure out the cause of the shaking.
“What the heck…”
Dddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd of of
…
A village visible at the bottom of the mountain. And the corner of the huge structure that swallowed up the village. The structures seemed to be connected underground.
AA AA AA-!
A scream echoed through the mountains.
They are probably the villagers caught up in this strange phenomenon.
When Kang Seol saw that structure, something came to mind.
“I’m sure that’s….”
It’s already been a year since we broke through the labyrinth of asceticism that engulfed Toki.
In front of him…
[Amazing discovery! A jet-black labyrinth is discovered.]
[Certificates of qualification (jet-black) are scattered throughout the area.]
“It’s a labyrinth.”
Another labyrinth appeared.
