The 31st Piece Turns the Tables - Chapter 386

Episode 386: Thrilling

…

Kang Seol became a shadow and became one with Yu Rim.

‘Is this what it feels like to be someone’s shadow?’

Although it was painful, the feeling of distance from the spirit was also tickling.

The initial pain gradually subsided and it was now difficult to distinguish it from pleasure.

‘It was crazy…’

Trying to become a shadow in a human body to protect someone precious.

I didn’t think I could do it again.

‘No… if you ask me to do it again, I’ll have to do it.’

It was something that had to be done.

In order to save Yurim.

The mind is unpredictable and, unlike reason, closes its ears to possibilities. Pretend not to see even if you see, pretend not to hear even if you hear.

‘What happens to me now?’

Should I leave myself to the sea of consciousness like this?

“Seol-ah! Where are you! Seol-ah!”

Someone called him.

It was Yurim’s voice.

Kang Seol was startled and stretched out her hand.

Something caught.

‘… hair?’

Slurp…

It was a huge wolf wearing a mask.

Kwajik…

“Ugh….”

The wolf bit my hand so hard that it slightly hurt.

Kang Seol quickly pulled out his hand.

Sigh…

someone grabbed his body.

“You can’t approach Seol-ah.”

“Yurim? That wolf…”

Yurim’s voice.

It was Yurim who caught him.

She said, looking at the wolf.

“Yacha….”

“… Yacha?”

“huh. If you approach it, it will bite everything. “Because it’s always been like that.”

Yurim guided Kangseol.

So as not to be captured by the yaksha.

So the two became one for a moment.

* * *

Shinyu said as he watched the changes Yurim went through.

“Is the snowfall there?”

“… Here it is.”

Shin Yu did not want to kill Kang Seol.

Even in my devastated mental world, I did not want to abandon the relationship that had been connected from reality.

– Kill her… kill her.

On the other hand, the illusion continued to mutter.

He constantly told me to kill Yurim.

Fantasy has triumphed.

Yu-rim will soon die at Shin-yu’s hands.

“Let’s come to a conclusion.”

Nod…

Yurim’s energy has changed.

It was overheated, like a volcano about to explode.

Sabak…

Sabak…

The two walked sideways with their swords and drew a circle.

The round moon will soon be complete on the snowy field.

When the lines were connected to form the moon, the two rushed across the moon.

Paaaaaaaaaa!

Paaaaang-!

The moment they closed their eyes and jumped towards each other, they both realized at the same time.

‘I’m faster!’

‘Yurim is faster!’

Yurim, who was in a raven state, continued to emit darkness from the hem of her clothes. It was as if the night had become human.

The darkness guided her.

Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

?

The swords clashed.

Even if this fight turned into a power struggle, Shinyu didn’t care.

Pajijijijijik…

Because his energy driving the thunderclouds was able to emit enormous power.

Biting, squeezing,

squeezing, squeezing…

But surprisingly, Yurim didn’t back down even an inch. For the first time, her sword did not dodge Xin Yu’s sword.

Yurim had been able to see the movements well from the beginning. Now that the forces were equal, the outcome of the fight was not easy to predict.

“Mmm!”

It’s a joke!

Shin Yu’s sword went wild as if in a fit of convulsions.

Taang-!

The sword deviated from its trajectory and the two compared their skills.

Tadaang-

Ting!

The sound of wind falling and even the sound of a sword being struck with a sword.

The two were unable to inflict even a single serious injury on each other.

Wow!

Bah!

Exchanging kicks with each other.

It was a check to measure the distance, but at the same time, the battle went into a lull for a while because it was far away.

“… It’s frustrating.”

“Same.”

Yu-rim suppressed the power of the yaksha as much as possible to avoid being eaten by the yaksha, and Shin-yu hid the shape of the storm sword for fear that Yu-rim would use the yaksha’s power to duplicate his swordsmanship.

Thanks to you, there is a deadlock.

“… I guess it won’t work.”

It was Shinyu who made the decision first.

Pachijijijijijik-!

His sword cried.

“If you can take this away… take it away.”

“….”

Paaaaaaaa!

Shinyu jumped like he was flying.

Hwii…

Paaaaaaaaaa!

Fox rain.

But I couldn’t even see my hands properly.

Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga…

The speed of the sword wasn’t the problem.

The shape of the sword was not visible.

A sword that cannot be stolen.

It is a sword that cannot pierce.

Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss–––––––––––been my way

to the ground!

Tadang…

Someone grabbed Yurim’s hand and held it.

Shin Yu’s sword flew into that exact spot.

Kaaaang-!

“Hmm…”

It was snowing.

The two became united through the night raven.

Naturally, they were able to muster the strength of two people.

“Where!”

It’s hard to shake…

the energy of a storm.

A career that is thrilling.

I could barely keep up with the movement, but it wasn’t enough for the power that drove the thundercloud.

‘It’s the flow… you can’t catch the flow.’

A flow of force, not a flow of movement.

It was exactly as Shinyu calculated.

Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss-!

The sword aimed to pierce Yurim’s chest was shot forward with a thunderbolt in it.

It seemed too late to defend with the dulled sword.

‘Give me your shoulder in exchange…’

At that time, a black hand came out from her sleeve.

Whirring!

“Huh….”

Each hand aimed at Shinyu’s dangerous place.

Kaga River-!

Shin Yu also had no choice but to retrieve the sword and remove the shadow.

However, this did not mean that the attack was completely ineffective.

Pajijijik…

Kwaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Shinyu kicks Yurim’s stomach with his foot.

It wouldn’t be a normal shock because it was full of energy.

“Ugh….”

Kwajik-!

Kwasik-!

Yurim fell, rolling heavily on the floor.

Whioooo…

The shadows aligned her cracked bones and realigned her torn muscles.

Kang Seol did his best to keep her from getting hurt. Even if it became a shadow, its actions were still the same.

Still, there were some things that were getting better.

The movement was catching up.

However, when Shinyu was imbued with the energy of a storm, even defense was difficult.

Shinyu decided to exploit that weakness and took a step back.

Crash…

Shinyu took the lead.

It didn’t look like he had given up.

“It’s over.”

Xinyu’s hands were shaking.

It’s a slash…

It’s a slash.

It looks like he is about to attempt another slash from before.

The energy I felt was much greater than before.

‘…you won’t see it.’

Yurim was frustrated.

His sword… I couldn’t see it.

Whiiiiing…

time stops.

Shinyu’s power and Shinyu’s sword were still standing still.

The same moment that Kang Seol sometimes experienced also came to Yu Rim.

Something has changed in the surrounding air.

It’s an unpleasant smell and a memory I don’t want to recall.

Behind Shinyu, there was someone leaning against a tree.

That’s an illusion.

Otherwise, Shinyu would have immediately turned around and split the author.

“… Yacha.”

A masked wolf was leaning against a tree, looking this way.

I looked straight at her.

“… Yacha, are you trying to bite me?”

Swish…

Swish…

The wolf shakes his head.

“… I will die as soon as you wish.”

The wolf spoke for the first time in response to her barbed words.

“I never wanted that.”

“… what? “What did you just say…”

“Yu-rim, I don’t want to bite you. The only thing I bite is other than you. “They are the ones who put you in danger.”

Yurim became angry at Yasha’s remonstrance.

“Do not lie! You’re planning to destroy me again! Always me… you always me!”

Even though I burst into tears, no time passed. Maybe because it is a dream world, anything is possible.

“Ugh… Ugh….”

“Don’t cry, Yurim. “Are you afraid of dying?”

“… you learned what happiness is.”

“….”

“You discovered real laughter.”

Sabak…

Sabak…

The wolf came.

There was no foul odor.

“I never tried to bother you, Yurim. I’m sorry if you felt that way…”

Yurim raised her head and looked at the wolf.

The wolf laughed.

At first, I felt beyond the mask.

At that moment she became aware of the existence of the yaksha.

“You… no way…”

“I was just trying to protect you. “I…”

The wolf’s voice changed.

From a fierce and rough voice to a refreshing voice.

In a girl’s wet voice.

“Because it’s you.”

In Yurim’s own voice.

Yasha, a personality created by a girl who fell into hell to protect herself.

The Yasha did not intend to harm Yurim.

They were just trying to protect Yurim by raising thorns.

Everything went wrong and caused harm to the world.

“Ah…”

Yurim hugged the wolf.

said the wolf.

“Will you forgive me?”

“I’m sorry… I pushed you away…”

“It’s okay. I just need you to be okay.”

The Yaksha asked.

“I don’t have time. No, not for us… Yurim, you feel it too, right?”

“….”

“I already know what choice you will make. So what do you want me to do?”

Yurim said to the wolf.

“Please help me…”

The wolf stopped.

“Help me… to protect my final happiness. “Lend me your strength.”

The wolf laughed heartily.

“good! “Let’s show that guy the infinite possibilities that Yaksha has.”

The wolf turned around and looked at Shinyu.

“… This is the Yasha’s last appearance. “Hold your sword.”

Time slowly began to move.

“I’m going, Yurim. “You can follow along, right?”

When the wolf asked, Yurim held her sword straight and looked forward.

At that moment, time accelerated.

No, the sword of Divine Yu came at an incredible speed.

Hwioooooooo…

Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…

A slash from the storm sword.

How can an unfinished sword show off such perfect power?

A line containing tremendous power came down.

A power that seems like it can never be resisted.

It was truly a storm.

And two beings running towards the storm.

It was a wolf and Yurim.

A wolf happily sticks out its tongue and disappears in the wind.

– You will see Yurim! Follow the path! It’s nice weather!

Slurp…

The wolf running across the snowy field became blurred and disappeared.

Yurim moved following the footprints the wolf had left on the snowy field.

Broken…

Yurim’s mask began to break from the ends.

Her lips were revealed, her pointed nose was revealed, and her burning eyes were revealed.

Finally, the unmasked Yaksha surpassed the odds.

There was no visible movement.

I could see the flow.

The flow of power.

The flow was so beautiful that it looked like a tangled thread. That’s why it’s an unfinished sword.

The sword was inserted into the gap created by the disharmony.

Touuuuung-!

her teacher. The clear sound that comes when sword master Yuhyeon succeeds in a perfect defense.

At the same time as that clear sound, Yurim’s sword was pulled back and shot forward like a hummingbird.

“Aaaah!”

Fuuuuuuck…

Steel digging into flesh.

The feel of this was clear.

…

Time didn’t stop.

The two stopped quietly in place.

“… Did you even read this, Yurim?”

“… huh.”

“Amazing… Amazing… I lost…”

Fuhuaaaak…

Slurp…

Xinyu pulled out his sword and fell backwards.
