The 31st Piece Turns the Tables - Chapter 58
Episode 58
Kwajik-! Kwajijic….
It was my first experience of snowfall, with the clear sky and the ground I was standing on cracking. In the first place, the experience of peeking into someone else’s memories was a rare thing.
“Why… why!”
The gray knight roared and became angry.
She poured out her sadness and regret, turning gray like a burnt-out candle on the cake of a child celebrating her birthday alone.
“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
.
Rather, it was a situation where Karuna had to catch the snowfall, but Karuna could not be considered normal now.
“I… I couldn’t go.”
Is it because I learned that the gray knight waited for the blue-eyed knight until the moment of his death?
Karuna was in a state of mental shock and was unable to escape.
‘Fuck it, I can’t survive like this!’
I couldn’t face death in an unfamiliar place. I don’t know if this mental world was the space of an unrelated person, but unfortunately, it was the mind of someone who was closely related to Karuna, an important force.
Snowfall had to hold the reins of the group until Karuna came to her senses.
“Jamade!”
“That piece of iron is trouble! I get it!”
Whoa…
Whirring!
A huge Jamard was summoned and snatched Karuna and Snowfall and carried them on his shoulders.
Along with the sensation of my body floating, the snowfall expanded my vision.
[The eye of insight is activated.]
[Discovers the movement of heterogeneous magic power.]
The eye of insight is activated at the right time.
Golden eyes caught the rough current of magical energy in the collapsing world.
Like a drain, the magic power was continuously being sucked into one place.
‘The power of the crystal is running out!’
I didn’t know what would happen if I stayed here until the power of the crystal ran out.
“I have to get out there! Over there, Jamard!”
“I get it! “Run, hold on tight!”
Even though Jamad didn’t know Karuna, he couldn’t grab Snowfall too hard. If it were to break, it would have been a big problem.
Kang Seol held Jamard’s shoulders tightly and tried not to let go of the flow.
Wow!
“It’s fucking water!”
Waves came out of nowhere, as if there had been a sudden flood. The waves continued to push the group away.
with a splash-!
“Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu their a me their his their their their
theirs their “kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk …” “Hmm…”
Jamard seemed to think he shouldn’t do this, so he hugged Kangseol and Karuna and went into hiding.
Perhaps because of that, the strong current was less intense and they were able to gradually move forward.
‘Please, just a little longer…’
The end of the long escape was in sight.
Because I had such an incredible experience, I had no idea whether time passed quickly or slowly.
“Puh-haa!”
“Kek… Keek….”
Twaaaaaaaa!
Finally, Kangseol and his group were able to get out.
“The crystal ball was submerged in rainwater, damn it.”
“Cough…cough…”
Jamard found out why Karen’s mental world was submerged in water.
Qarring-!
Shoot…
the reality was that it was raining right now.
‘Is it because it’s the mental world that transference didn’t activate?’
Normally, it would be normal to move safely while being surrounded by a halo of light.
Kang Seol felt dizzy about the situation she had just experienced in which she had to escape with difficulty.
‘Hehe… Still, I’m glad you came back alive.’
In conclusion, I was fortunate to have completed my first adventure safely.
[The next adventure begins.]
[The tenth adventure begins.]
[Adventure 10. The Burned One]
Adventure 10. ‘The Burned One’
You have confirmed the mental world of a corpse scheduled for resurrection in the Great Forest. .
Surprisingly, the body’s identity was Karen, one of the guardians of the Montra Empire, which made a name for itself on the continent a long time ago. And in the process of confirming the identity of the corpse, your summon, Karuna, was also revealed to be one of Montra’s guardians.
Fortunately, you used your wits to escape the dangerous mental world. But unfortunately Chao was never found.
And now we are in a situation where such problems are so dangerous that they are considered trivial. Karen will soon wake up, free from her mental restraints.
Currently, Karen only has her instincts left, but it is presumed that she is very powerful. Also, on the day she regains her senses, something unpredictable may happen.
You have to choose.
Are you going to fight or retreat?
Goal: Eliminate Karen.
If you fail to achieve your goal, you will fall into the after-effects of ‘loser illness’. Also, your honor and reputation will fall.
Additionally, you will not receive accumulated rewards from previous adventures.
Current remaining time 「23:59」
When Kang Seol hurriedly looked back at Karen, his insight eye was activated.
[Karen: Knight of the Red Lotus]
Grade: Hero
Estimated level: 35~40
One of the guardians of the ancient empire of Montra.
A person who wields explosive power and rises to a powerful position in a short period of time.
Although she exerts great power as a single entity, she shows her greatest power when she is with her twin brother Karuna.
Basic abilities: [Montra Swordsmanship 5] [Burning 3] [Flower of Fire 4] [Flame Grasp 4] [Advanced martial arts 3] [Last-minute flip 2] [Red Lotus Cham (1)] [Burning Resistance 3] [ Pride 2] [Chivalry 1] [Crushing 1] [100 per diem] [Mental manipulation resistance 4]
Special ability: [Continued soul 5] [Balance 5]
‘Retreat.’
Kang Seol found it absurd that he had to choose between fight and flight as mentioned in the adventure description.
– crazy; Level 40? 40?
– They say it may be level 35.
– Those words are even more disgusting! Hahaha
– Currently confirmed highest level haha
– Are you kidding me? A level 40 character appears in front of an adventurer who is not even level 10?
– Hey… Is this something you can break?
Viewers were representing Kang Seol’s feelings.
‘The level difference is serious.’
Typically, bosses in solo adventures and party adventures were rare.
Karuna and Jamard were unusually heroic due to the nature of the adventure.
Because of this, Kang Seol was confident.
There were two rare hero-level summons at the beginning, and he knew what this meant.
‘No matter how many hero-grade summons there are, it’s impossible for the level difference to be this much.’
I thought that maybe it would be like this if Karuna and Jamard continued to grow and become complete.
Of course, it would have been nice to see that the level had already risen that much as a success.
“Damn it…”
Kangseol lamented as she was hit by the pouring rain.
This adventure was no different from failure.
Then Jamard called him.
“hey. “I don’t know what you’re thinking, but I think you need to make a decision quickly.”
“what?”
“Look over there.”
Dddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd…
The direction Jamard pointed was where the stake where Karen was, and of course she was wrapped in chains and chains.
And now, the chains were breaking one by one, bringing with them a huge shaking.
‘I’m trying to wake up!’
Powerful spirits require a lot of life force when resurrected. That’s why the Great Forest was chosen as the location for the resurrection ceremony.
The vitality of the great forest was now gathering at the place where Karen’s stake was stuck.
Tsuzuzuzu…
The surrounding bushes began to turn pitch black.
“Run away!”
Snowfall quickly retrieved Karuna and Jamad into the shadow space and then kicked the heel of his left foot with his right foot. To use the boots of a lifetime obtained as an additional reward at Griz’s secret laboratory.
Pot-!
pop-!
[Crisis escape is activated.]
[Movement speed increases significantly for a short period of time.]
Snowfall ran without looking back.
I couldn’t tell whether I would become a mummy or be reduced to dust if I was caught up in the absorption of that life force.
‘hurry! ‘Faster!’
Dadadada…
sparks continued to emerge from the heel of the overheated boot. Just when I thought that the snowfall had completely escaped Karen, creating a path of flames, a blinding flash of light exploded along with an enormous explosion.
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Bleep-
My ears were deafening, as if I had been bombed.
Snowfall fell over due to the shock wave.
“Aaaah!”
Since we were running at such a fast speed, the snowfall did not stop us from getting hit.
‘My whole body hurts. ‘Have you gotten away with it?’
Snowfall blinked as she looked back at the center of the enormous wave. An unbelievable scene unfolded.
Puss…
Suss…
All the trees where he passed were withered and dead. Considering that we were quite far from the epicenter of the situation, it was a shocking scene.
‘If the wave had spread out in all directions…’
the trees in the forest would have died in droves.
Of course, the Great Forest is so large that a wound of this magnitude would not be a flaw, but even so, it was not without damage.
Whirling-!
Snowfall summoned Karuna and Jamad again just in case.
Karuna seemed to have recovered slightly from her mental panic. Kang Seol asked a question because he seemed to have the energy to answer.
“What happened?”
“…Karen is my twin sister.”
“What is Monttra again?”
“I do not know. “I don’t know how much time has passed since then, but there is a sense of temporal gap…”
Jamad criticized Karuna’s behavior.
“Wasn’t the iron broken?”
“Please refrain from speaking.”
“Who was it that became a pain in the ass for your master?”
“…sorry. master.”
Snowfall was so good that Karuna came to her senses.
And now he couldn’t pay attention to trivial matters.
‘Should I take the penalty and give up the adventure?’
If you give up on the adventure, you will suffer a loss penalty, your reputation and honor will drop, and you will not be able to obtain any rewards.
‘It’s just a fatal penalty.’
If you were to ask if that was more important than life, you would of course say no, but Kang Seol was a player aiming to become the strongest.
Losing everything that had been accumulated so far along with the gap in adventure was completely contrary to Kang Seol’s goal.
At a time when Kang Seol was worried, Karuna started crying.
“master.”
“Karuna?”
“I have a favor to ask you.”
Kang Seol could guess what kind of request he was talking about.
“We have to get back to Karen.”
“…I can’t win right now.”
“I’m not going there to win. “I’m going to save you.”
That sounds correct.
Kang Seol bit her lip and didn’t know what to do. And he thought back carefully about what he had said.
‘Right now… we can’t win… now… now?’
There are several adventures that Snowfall has overcome so far, and there have been several times when she has experienced ridiculous levels of difficulty.
And there was a theory he established while going through those adventures.
‘An adventure that can’t be completed now has little chance of being assigned in the first place!’
That’s why the early, middle, and latter parts of the adventure are divided into different parts.
The system throws challenges that the player can somehow overcome, as if fate is preordained.
And now let’s apply that theory here.
‘Rather, it’s now that I can overcome this adventure. Think, think! snowfall!’
Level difference close to 30.
A terrible gap that could result in death with one light punch. There must be a way to overcome this gap.
‘I have to find something? What tool can I use right now?…’
Kangseol suddenly thought of a tool that he could use because it was now. No, rather, it is a means that must be done now.
‘Lion’s Shinrikyo!’
When I first thought about it, I thought I had to stop their evil deeds. Therefore, I thought that the Shinrikyo of the Dead was the enemy of this adventure.
‘No, they are the enemy, but….’
There is a saying like that.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
‘We have to use them!’
The question is how to use it.
Anyone else would have thought about wasting a lot of time here, but Snowfall was different.
This was the area in which he was most confident.
