The 31st Piece Turns the Tables - Chapter 72
Episode 72:
Snowfall went down the long passage while being protected by Jamad.
Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

“doesn’t exist! “There are no walls!”
“Okay, let’s go down like this.”
Karen and Jamard steeled themselves, remembering that they had put in a lot of effort to seize this opportunity.
Slowly, the end of the long passage began to come into view.
“Fall!”
“Hold on tight!”
Ugh…
When I finally got out of the passage, emptiness came over me.
“Eh? Mo
…. ”
‘water?’
Snowfall never expected that there would be an underground lake of this size. The impact of the fall caused him to fall down quite a bit, but Jamard grabbed his hand and pulled him up.
“Fuha!”
“Kek… Keek… a lake.”
“Everyone seems to be safe, so let’s go out first.”
Clutter, clang.
The group finally left the underground lake with Karen draining the water from her armor and getting out.
“If I had fallen in the middle of the lake, it would have taken a year to get out.”
“Is the groundwater coming out of this place scattered throughout the canyon?”
“Well, it’s not that important.”
“I’m glad I fell into the lake. “You weren’t hurt.”
“The ceiling is really high? “I think the size of the community is quite large.”
It was just as Karen said.
Snowfall looked around the space they were in and checked the terrain.
Bumpy stalactite pillars and hard, slippery ground. And a huge co.
Snowfall touched the bulging part of the cloak to check accurately.
Tuk.
[Venta’s Curtain activates.]
Huaaaaaa…
[The surrounding area becomes brighter.]
“Ugh, it’s dazzling!”
– Karen lol
– *_* My eyes!
– Sergeant Kyle, it’s time to leave for duty.
“Come to me and you will feel better.”
“Ha, it’s much better. “You’re not a general store, but you have a lot of unusual items, right?”
“It’s the result of all our efforts.”
“I won’t deny it. Good, it looks good. Hmm…”
Karen said, looking at the surroundings illuminated by light.
“It’s all spider webs. Do you see that?”
“ceiling?”
“Yes, there was a reason there was a hole in the ceiling. “I climbed the spider web all the way there and dug a hole.”
At that time, a quiet message came to mind.
[The main content of ‘Her Last Descendant’ is changed.]
[‘Her Last Descendant’ is changed to ‘Predator Beneath the Canyon’.]
Adventure 11-1. ‘Predator under the canyon’
Finally, after a long search, we caught traces of the spider. You have escaped the Koopa, the predator of Shadow Canyon, and chased it all the way to the home of Spider, another predator of the Canyon.
There is no way that this large cavity does not have an owner.
You must find out who owns this place and end the long chase.
However, the owner here will not welcome you.
Goal: Obtain the blood of Anakindria’s last descendant.
If you fail to achieve your goal, Xiamen’s favorability decreases and you fail to re-sharpen the Red Lotus Sword.
Current remaining time 「71:59」
Snowfall clenched her fists.
‘You’ve come to the right place!’
The change in the adventure content was nothing short of proof that Snowfall was going in the right direction.
Jamard asked.
“What are you going to do?”
“uh?”
“The last descendant or something was snatched away by a large bird.”
“No, maybe it’s not a descendant.”
“Do you think that too?”
“The spider was big, but it doesn’t make sense for it to have a cavity this size to itself. “Plus, there are spider webs all over the ceiling and walls. There’s no way he could have made all these webs by himself.”
“I agree. If a house is this big, the owner should be that big too. “He’s probably a minion.”
Karen urged while listening to their conversation.
“The conclusion is that we have to move forward, right?”
“Okay, let’s go.”
At that time, I heard a whisper from somewhere.
It was a voice as light as a breeze.
– Come closer… closer…
Kangseol asked the two with wide eyes.
“Who said that?”
“no?”
“I am not.”
“I just heard talking…”
“What?”
“Isn’t it… Let’s go first.”
Karen placed her hand on the shoulder of Kang Seol, who was taking steps. And then he pulled a prank that only kids would play.
“woah!”
“… What are you doing?”
“I’m not surprised.”
“Don’t play around.”
“It’s not a joke, I just confirmed it.”
“check?”
“What did you say you heard talking earlier?”
“Come closer, come closer.”
“Hmm…”
The three’s gazes crossed.
These are the three who rolled and rolled in Pandea.
By this point, everyone should have noticed.
“Mental magic.”
“They even use mind manipulation?”
“That must be a pain in the ass.”
Karen said, pounding the exact center of her chest.
“Believe me. “I don’t know anything about mind magic…”
“Resistance to mind manipulation? “It’s sealed.”
“Oh my…”
Jamard warned the group as he slowly headed forward.
“Seeing as there are no enemies nearby, it seems like a mental attack was made from a very long distance, so I guess this level is pretty high.”
“It would be nice if I was only familiar with mental magic, but the opponent is a spider. “Everyone remembers, right?”
“I remember. Eight eyes on eight legs. “That’s true for regular spiders.”
“Since it has settled in a place like this, it will be big and even if all our legs combined, it will be no match for it.”
“Let’s go while being careful.”
As Venta’s curtain brightened the surroundings, Kang Seol and his party continued to move forward.
Sticky spider webs were spread everywhere, but what was unusual was that dishes and miscellaneous items with old carriages and rare patterns were also tangled in the spider webs and lying around.
And even the white bones.
“You ate a lot.”
“… I know.”
Kang Seol felt bitter after witnessing the end of the victims over a long period of time.
‘Is Kiri here too?’
It had been more than 10 years since Kiri lost his life in vain, so he could have been one of the white bones lying around over there.
Tuk.
He held up the snow-covered skull and looked at the black hole where both eyes had been.
You too will face this kind of ending someday. I didn’t want it to be like this… but
the terrible echo kept coming back to me.
Swish.
Snowfall shook her head and put the skull in a corner.
A whisper of courtesy was once again delivered to Snowfall’s ears.
– Come closer, child… Receive the grace of fire…
Crackling…
Snowfall frowned.
Swoosh –
Karen, who was walking ahead, blocked the snowfall by extending one arm horizontally.
“stop.”
Before I knew it, Jamard was behind Snow Seol.
It was to protect him.
Snow covered the entire space, including the ceiling. All he could see were red circles.
Kiiiii-!
They were all spider eyes.
Even though the goosebump-inducing legs were busy moving, no sound was heard, which made the sight even more repulsive.
– For the life of fire… sacrifice your flesh…
“It’s loud.”
Snowfall said to his summons.
“Kill them all.”
Kiiiiiii-!
Spiders similar in size to the one that Koopa had disappeared with came flocking from all directions.
[Jammard uses rock armor.]
[The special effect of Fist of the Mountain is activated.]
[Snowman receives the effect of rock armor.]
First, Jamard surrounds Snowman’s body with rocks to protect him from spiders. did.
Whoa!
Kwasik!
The spider’s head exploded with a light swing.
[Experience points are accumulated.]
[The sulfur spider was defeated.]
Chiik…
The spot where the blood of the sulfur spider touched was slightly dented.
“The blood smells like sulfur. Be careful. fairy!”
Pot-!
Karen had already killed a few spiders and was kicking the head of another one.
Puhwaak-!
[Experience points are accumulated.]
[The sulfur spider has been defeated.]
“Kahaha! Are you kidding me? “Is this it?”
Sigh-!
Karen’s right shoulder armor was exposed to the web spewed by one of the numerous spiders.
“Hwaap!”
Karen felt that the spider web was unusually strong and spun around.
Whi-profit-!
The large spider rose into the air and fell head first.
Pajiik…
Kiik!
Kwasik!
[Experience points are accumulated.]
[The Sulfur Spider has been defeated.]
“Do you like it hot? So do i!”
Karen is all gray.
If there was one thing that burned in her reduced to ashes, it was her eyes.
Red eyes were shining with heat.
“I’ll kill all the spiders!”
Kwasik!
[Experience points are accumulated.]
[The Sulfur Spider has been defeated.]
Jamard swung the carriage wheel from behind.
Huh-!
Puhwaak-!
Chi-ik!
thud! Coooooo!
[Experience points are accumulated.]
[The sulfur spider has been defeated.]
Ki… Kiik!
I could feel the spiders panicking.
Whispers continued to reach Kang Seol’s ears.
– Don’t resist… Embrace the fire…
“Hey. “Are you listening?”
– ….
“I’m waiting there. “I’ll be leaving soon.”
When it seemed like Snowfall was in danger, Karen and Jamard stepped in and crushed the spider.
The large number of spiders gradually began to decrease.
Kiiii!
When one spider turned and ran away, crying, the other spiders also cried and ran away after it.
“Shall I chase you?”
“No, let’s move slowly because we don’t know what might be hiding.”
“Whatever.”
The floor was soaked with spiders’ blood.
“Should I call this blood or sulfur?…”
“It’s annoying, but it’s not really a problem.”
Kangseol put the blood pouring from the spider’s corpse into one of the bottles he brought beforehand.
[Obtained the blood of a sulfur spider.]
‘As expected.’
These spiders were not descendants of Anakindria. Either that subspecies or a completely different species.
“I don’t think it will end easily.”
“Snowman, look here.”
There was more than just spider webs in the cavity. Cocoons wrapped in spider webs also gradually appeared.
“cocoon?”
“There’s something inside.”
“… Isn’t it a spider?”
“No, it seems like he was prey to a spider.”
Saying that, Jamard whipped out a piece of broken wood and tore the cocoon.
Jjiik-
“Be terrible.”
Karen made a disgusted expression.
Inside was a mummified body with all its bodily fluids sucked out by spiders. It was so sad to see him die, shedding tears of blood.
Kang Seol became increasingly angry at the thought that Kiri would also have died like that.
“Let’s go, we’ll finish everything, spiders or whatever.”
Jamard asked Karen.
“Is it okay if I can’t draw my sword?”
“So, wouldn’t it be okay to pick it up in advance?”
“Can you swing it?”
“… That’s right. “Just hit it and destroy it like you did.”
Although Karen said it casually, her condition was actually serious. She must be suffering inside because she cannot draw or swing her sword for someone, as if her heart is locked.
‘But there’s nothing I can do, so I’ll just have to wait and see.’
Watching.
Snowfall was the only option for her.
Jerk. Jerk.
The common passage gradually expanded.
It continued as if there was a huge being inside.
“master. I guess…”
Stand tall.
When Karen stopped walking, the group followed suit.
“I think this is it?”
It’s so huge that you might mistake it for a dragon’s nest.
Spider webs and cocoons everywhere.
In particular, the sight of so many cocoons piled up as if to show off made Snow Seol dizzy.
Kiiiii…
– Hehe… He came all the way here on his own feet… What a fun kid. I am Atarak. Anakindria is the last descendant she left behind.
Kang Seol raised his head and looked at the wide space.
A spider of such overwhelming size that it could not be described in words as truly gigantic was hanging on a diagonal spider web.
The insight eye filled her eyes with information.
[Atarak: Anakindria’s last descendant]
Grade: Hero
Estimated level: 18~30
Anakindria, the ancient fire spider queen.
At one time, everyone in the world feared her presence.
But she is gone, and now her legend is also forgotten. And a new Queen Spider, who inherited her blood, appears and her name is Atarak.
Basic Abilities: [Bite 2] [Neurotoxin Injection 3] [Spider’s Whispers 2] [Sweet Dreams 1] [Cobweb Bomb 1] [Passive: House Protection 1] [Passive: Movement Capture 1] Special Abilities: [Sulfur Saturation 1
]
‘Hero level…’
Snowfall’s eyes became fierce.
As expected, Atarak was not an ordinary opponent.
Kiiii…
– Talking to food is an unfamiliar experience… but since you’ve whetted my appetite, I’ll give it a chance… kid.
Kiiii…
– I’m still hungry and you can’t satisfy me. Bring more… more prey to the canyon.
“What is the price?”
Kiyi…
– I will grant you the grace of fire.
A choice appeared before Kang Seol’s eyes.
[You face the giant queen spider Atarak. But instead of preying on you, she made you an unpleasant proposition. How would you answer?]
1. What is the grace of fire?
2. I will accept whatever it is. The new fire queen.
3. Is Anakindria dead?
4. Please tell me exactly what I need to do.
5. Any other suggestions?
…
This kind of suggestion was quite refreshing, so normally, Snow Seol would have been very cautious and cautious in his response.
He postponed his answer and looked around.
Numerous cocoons.
Many lives were lost here. Also his horse Kiri.
So there is no compromise.
Kang Seol smiled at Atarak.
And he answered like this:
“I decline the offer. Now get ready to fall out of there.”
Atarak trembled with rage.
Kiiiii-!
– Kill all those little guys!
