The 31st Piece Turns the Tables - Chapter 81
Episode 81
Finding the culprit who made the village sick was found through an unexpected clue.
There was a difference between Gunt’s actual face and the face in the child’s drawing.
If I had passed by without paying attention to the picture, it could have taken quite a long time to figure out that Gunt was behind all of this.
“Hehehe… it should have been removed that day too. “They even come to my home and disrupt it.”
“Did you also plan what happened in Dungeon Village?”
“Then who else is there? Heeheehee!”
Just-!
As soon as Gunt’s fingers collided, the cries of monsters were heard around the village.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
…
“Guu Gunt Master!”
“How can this be… What are you doing now…”
“Aaaah! “There are monsters outside the bar!”
And the monsters were slowly narrowing their siege to where the snowfall was. Kang Seol asked him a question.
“Where did these monsters come from?”
“Wait a minute! It’s unfair that you’re the only one asking the question. Do it like this. “I like deals, so how about we ask one question if we each answer one question?”
“It’s good anyway. “Answer me.”
“Of course, these are the corpses of the sick. Did you get the answer?”
“… okay.”
The villagers were taken aback by Gunt’s changed mood.
“teacher! “How could you do such a terrible thing…”
“Wasn’t he staying to save us?”
Gunt laughed.
“Salvation? Ha ha ha ha ha! “I am your salvation?”
“Oh, wasn’t it?”
“You idiots. “If you try to pass your salvation onto someone else, you will end up suffering for the rest of your life!”
He said that and took something out of his pocket.
Black vial.
It was an object that Snowfall had seen in the scroll.
“I am the one who spread the fog bottle. This drug will put you to sleep and eventually turn you into a corpse. Unfortunately, this is not the reality of salvation you were hoping for.”
“Nonsense….”
“Mr. Gunt, come to your senses! “I don’t know why you’re like this, but…”
“If you don’t know, keep your mouth shut! Hehehe!”
Kangseol realized that the medicine bottle that Gunt was shaking was a sleeping medicine. And I was shocked to learn that all of this had happened because of that drug.
‘Why on earth does Chao need that medicine?’
What kind of benefits does that terrible medicine have that he doesn’t know about? It was difficult to even guess the snowfall.
“Now it’s my turn to ask questions. “How on earth did you know that I had planned this?”
“….”
“If you don’t answer, there will be no more conversation.”
“I was looking for you.”
“Why?”
“I’ve already answered your question.”
“You should have asked me at the damn time. good.”
“…Is there a cure for fog disease?”
Gunt opened his mouth and laughed.
“what! Hehehe! okay! You’ll need that. there is! Of course there is!”
“Ask a question.”
“Why did you chase me?”
“I’m interested in what you have.”
“Hey, I hope I made my answer clear. Even if you don’t look at that item, it will cure the fog disease. “Is your friend sick?”
“I have just one question. “What kind of trick did you use to deceive the villagers?”
“Should we say that it is the totality of anthropology and magic learned through simple deception techniques and illusions? “It’s so high-level that you won’t understand it.”
The conversation was going on for quite some time.
Kang Seol was slowly feeling that Karen, who was standing next to him, was reaching the limit of her patience.
“I think this will be my last question. So how did you know this Gunt was the one you were after? He definitely changed his face…”
“It’s that picture.”
The picture that Kang Seol pointed to depicted Gunt’s old face. Only then did Gunt realize the reason why his identity was revealed and laughed.
“Heeheehee! I’m like this? You didn’t change your face and release the hint! That’s why I got caught. Well… it was a simple one. So, what do we do now? “Oh, there was only one question.”
“Does not matter. “I’ll answer that much.”
Karen stepped in front of Kangseol.
And he gave Kang Seol’s answer instead.
“I will crush you and turn you into powder.”
“Heeheehee! “Well, that might be fun too!”
Crunch…
Crunch…
A pile of blood appeared on Gunt’s face.
His black veins, which sprouted out in a disgusting way like the roots of a rotten plant, eventually broke through his skin.
“Aaaah!”
“Hehehe! “I don’t need a face like that anymore!”
Ddude…
“I’m going out!”
“Where? “There are monsters outside!”
“Get out now! “This place looks like it’s falling apart. Is that the problem now?”
Whoa…
A black energy was created in Kangseol’s hand.
Whirling-!
And then the huge troll Jamard appeared.
“Please take care of the people.”
“I get it.”
Jamard ran to the village hall, carrying Sera on his back, following the people who were more confused by the appearance of a troll bigger than Gunt. There are still patients there and it would be much more bearable than a small house like this.
Jamard slowly followed them and destroyed the monsters that got in his way.
Kwaziik…
Meanwhile, Gunt began to gradually grow bigger.
“I should have killed him then… hehe!”
Kang Seol’s insight eyes quickly read the information about him who had turned into a monster.
[Hypocrite Gunt]
Grade: Rare
Estimated level: 13~18
A being who uses various knowledge, including self-study in medicine and pharmacy, as a weapon. His most fearsome weapons are the corpses he wields.
Basic abilities: [Vitality medicine 1] [Drug rapport 1] [Hypnosis 1] [Face stealing 1] [Body strengthening 1] [Poison 1] Special abilities: [False salvation 1] And when Kang Seol saw that, he was momentarily
embarrassed
.
‘…Why are you so weak?’
Kangseol, who had to deal with him with only Jammad on a long-distance adventure, did not know Gunt’s exact skills.
Gunt, not knowing what Kangseol was thinking, mocked him.
“This is my real face. Voila! how is it? “It’s terrible, right?”
Gunt’s face looked like a torn persimmon and could not possibly be seen as a human face. The eyes, nose, and mouth were all grotesquely distorted, and the skin was also crushed.
“Hehe, first of all, let’s start with the annoying woman…”
Suddenly!
Gunt felt the gaze shift and hurriedly checked his condition.
Before he knew it, his two legs were cleanly cut off.
Chi-ik-ik…
And tremendous heat and pain surged from the amputated area.
“Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Karen waited without finishing him off.
“Show me more. “I’ll wait for you.”
“You are making a mistake! hang on! “I’ll crush it in no time!”
[Gund uses Vitality Medicine Administer.]
[Body regeneration greatly increases.]
Wow!
Like a twisted skein of thread, he created a new leg.
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
In the meantime, Karen continued to cut off the necks of the corpses that were approaching Kang Seol.
“Everyone has become weak.”
“Such an insult….”
“Do your best. “You pissed me off this much.”
“… I’ll kill you.”
[Gund uses body strengthening.]
[Strength increases by 50%.]
[Agility increases by 20%.]
[Stamina increases by 10%.]
Whoa!
Gunt’s fist stretched out, and a tremendous amount of wind pressure arose from there.
but.
Suddenly!
Gunt once again lost a body part, feeling himself floating in the air below his elbows.
The outstretched arm was cut off by Karen’s sword.
“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuull as will be ours!”
“… How can this be?”
“This can’t be happening… Come, come! “Come to the owner!”
Grrrrrr!
thud!
Thump thump! thud!
Corpses covered in a strange slime gathered near the community center and rushed towards Gunt.
Clap la la la rock!
[Gund uses the special ability: False Salvation.]
[All abilities of absorbed corpses are absorbed while the ability lasts.]
Gunt’s body sucked in the corpses like a huge whirlpool sucking in a ship. And gradually it turned red like blood.
“Hehehe! “Will it be different this time?”
Karen waited even for that.
Pot-!
Gunt is definitely much faster than before.
The movement felt completely different from before.
“ruler! die! die!”
Gunt stretched out his fists again.
Huaaaaaaaaaaa!
but.
Whi-profit-!
Whick!
Karen was also dodging Gunt’s attack so easily, as if her previous movements were just a joke.
Gunt, who saw this, was greatly embarrassed.
“This can’t be happening… This can’t be happening…” “
… Is this the end?”
Even as Karen was dodging, she looked at Gunt with disdain.
“Aaaah! Don’t look at me like that!”
Whoa!
Huuuuuung-!
Movement that resembles a person who has not learned how to swim struggling in the water.
However, Gunt’s movements actually became very fast.
Enough to match Karen’s speed.
However, the movements were so simple and the fighting techniques were obvious. That’s why Gunt’s fist can’t reach Karen.
Karen began a counterattack, as if she was determined to see the end now.
Sreung-seo-
keuk-!
Cheeeeeee…
One of Gunt’s legs is cut off.
“Kwaaaah!”
“Why…”
Suddenly!
Cheeeeeeee…
“Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-oh… it hurts…”
“… Why?”
Push!
Push!
Sigh-!
“Kwaaaa!”
All of Gunt’s limbs were cut off.
However, perhaps thanks to the enormous vitality he gained, he only continued to bleed out and did not faint or die.
“Aaaah! why! why! why!”
Push!
Pushyuk!
“Hey…”
Karen asked Gunt while holding her sword in his stomach.
“If you’re so weak… why do you do such a terrible thing…”
“Cough… hehehe… was I weak? “I’m sorry!”
“Shut up!”
“Hehe… hehehe….”
Gunt said, blood pouring out of his mouth.
“But… can’t we do that?”
“… what?”
“If you are weak… are you deprived of the right to be evil?”
“What are you talking about…”
“Because I’m weak, should I be kind and quietly accept the life I’ve been given?”
“You son of a bitch!”
Karen grabbed the dying Gunt by the collar. But Gunt seemed to have already given up his regrets and just laughed.
“Hehehe… You can’t kill me. “I’m saying this because I’m thinking of you?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Cancellation of contract… You’re looking for it, right? “If I die, you won’t be able to find me, right?”
“… you damn bastard.”
Karen backed away from him slightly.
It seemed like Gunt would never be able to respond if he couldn’t control his emotions and hit his face.
Sigh –
Instead, Kangseol approached Gunt.
“Where is the Gunt cancellation?”
“oh? Is it a deal? great! But let’s change the rules. “If you listen to me, I’ll tell you the location of the contract… clack…!”
“Until the end…”
“If you refuse, I will die like this.”
When Gunt suddenly made a cold expression, Kangseol frowned.
“good night.”
“I couldn’t reveal it to anyone because I was afraid my identity would be discovered. “I killed everyone who heard me!”
“There is no time. you will die soon “Speak quickly.”
“Okay, okay…”
Gunt started talking.
“When I was born, my face was shaped like this. My parents sold me to a slave trader when I was walking. “Your parents are very patient. How did you endure it until then?”
“….”
“Unfortunately, the place where it was sold was the old wizard’s laboratory. Do you know what happened to me there? ah! “I won’t say this, hehehe.”
It was a past that became more real the more I listened to it.
And it was an unpleasant fact.
“I was given some free time during a hellish day, and luckily I was able to read the books in my old man’s lab. Most of the trivia was learned at that time. Do you know what your favorite book was?”
“I do not know.”
“Cough… It was the Bible of the old man’s faith and the biographies of heroes. Do you know why I liked that the most?”
“Why?”
“Hehehe… I think salvation will come to me too. When I read it, I wonder if some god or hero will wipe out this damn lab and get me out of there. That’s right, just like those stupid villagers from earlier.”
Gunt continued talking.
“Salvation did not come, and it was my own strength that broke the cage. The old man let his guard down. If I had known I would die so easily, I would have killed it sooner. Hey guys, when all of this is over, you will be heroes to the townspeople, right?”
“….”
“I envy them. I found salvation at the right time. Hehe… Should I have waited a little longer?”
“Gund.”
“Heroes are lazy. You didn’t save me. Day… Day….”
“Tell me the location of the cancellation.”
Gunt swallowed blood-stained saliva and spoke.
“If you open the handle of the bag I brought, powder will come out. “If you dilute it in water and use it, you will be able to keep the village people in order.”
“What about other villages?”
“Everyone is dead. “I was on my way to kill him.”
“Why did you do this?”
“Just curious. I wondered if salvation really existed or if it was just a story made up by others. But there really is… salvation.”
Sigh…
Kangseol stood up to take care of the cancellation.
“Can I ask you one thing?”
“….”
“Can I… be forgiven…?”
Karen listened closely to Kang Seol’s answer.
She wanted to hear what his answer would be.
Kang Seol answered with emotionless eyes. As if talking about something that has already been decided.
“no. “You will go to hell.”
“Hehe… Then we can find the gates of hell without getting confused.”
“I want to ask you something too.”
“….”
“What I said to Sarah. “Did you really mean it?”
“Ah… about that.”
Gunt sobbed and confessed as Sarah fell asleep.
– But Miss Sarah was different. Miss Sarah made many people happy just by her presence and overcame misfortune with strength. You made me realize many things through your actions alone.
“I won’t say no.”
Toouk…
After that answer, Gunt’s eyes became cloudy and a message came to mind.
[You have defeated Hypocrite Gunt.]

[Obtain the title “Savior.”]
