The 31st Piece Turns the Tables - Chapter 91
Episode 91
The most secret place in the fairly open Fire Altar.
There, Zando, the leader of the Sulfur Skulls, and Magra, the elder of the tribal alliance, were having a conversation.
“ha ha ha! “I never dreamed that Magra would listen to my request.”
Zando, a red-skinned man with a skull tattoo all over his face, extended his hand to Magra, who was wearing a robe, and repeatedly expressed his happiness.
Magra responded bluntly, perhaps dissatisfied with his attitude.
“Stop saying hello. You called me because you needed help, and I just responded. But don’t expect much. “I am no longer in a position to be tied down to a tribe.”
“It’s okay, it’s okay!” “It is all thanks to Magra that the Sulfur Skull Tribe has been able to grow so much, so why do you think we can be overly greedy?”
“Hung Jando. Only sweet words have increased. Don’t act lightly. “Aren’t the other unit commanders here?”
“I have to do this entirely on my own. “With the help of your unit leaders, the elders of the tribe will say that you have finally ascended to the position of chieftain with the halo of your bloodline.”
“… That makes sense. “I hope you have that kind of ability.”
An unidentified troll called Magra looked around Zando’s ornately decorated room with displeased eyes, wondering what he was dissatisfied with.
Zando, the chief and high priest of the Sulfur Skull Tribe, spoke to Magra while observing his thoughts.
“The Rock Fang faction collapsed when Jamard was defeated by a mysterious adventurer called Snowman. They were quite annoying, and it felt like I lost a tooth. The rock tusks were a stumbling block to the Sulfur Skull.”
“Jamadra… You mean a child from the same generation as you.”
“Yes, to be exact, he was from the same generation. Now I have returned to the bosom of the original god.”
“You seem quite satisfied that the child is gone?”
“How did you know? Hasn’t the competitor who will lead the next generation of the Glorious Federation been eliminated? What’s more, that bastard opposed my opinion on everything, and his distrust of the original spirits was rampant! I’m better than that guy…”
Kwaang-!
Magra struck Datak.
“….”
He looked as if he couldn’t open his eyes and see Zando’s self-indulgence.
“…Elder?”
“You are still young, Jando.”
“I am neither old enough nor in a position to solve riddles anymore.”
“It means you can’t overcome your limitations.”
“… I don’t really understand.”
A terrifying flame seemed to bloom from Magra’s eyes.
He scolded Zando for his foolishness.
“Trolls are loners. “No one wants to mix with us.”
“Isn’t it because everyone is afraid of us?”
“I ask you, do you want to be afraid of other races?”
“Isn’t it obvious? “Do you think I’m a fool?”
“… That’s a shame.”
“yes?”
“… Jamard shouldn’t have left like that.”
What Magra said was sincere.
He remembered Jamard from the past.
A person who overcame many obstacles at a young age and became the chief of a tribe through his own efforts.
– Heung I plan to go beyond our limits. I have no intention of being oppressed by your outdated rules, and I will overthrow the Federation someday! I will be the king of everything in the world! A king who is served by others with respect, not fear! Genshin is nothing more than an obstacle to getting there!
‘Perhaps he was the young blood that the Federation needed the most.’
Federation of troll tribes.
Among the world’s powerful people, there were those who ignored trolls, but there were few who even ignored the tribal alliance.
Mountains, sulfur, waterfalls, clouds, lightning, gusts of wind, etc. A gigantic creature created by the gathering of large tribes.
They were a group of magical and primitive people.
Although it was clear that powerful forces had gathered, there was a fatal problem in the alliance. It was an overcoming of innate wildness.
Trolls are easily excited and easily discouraged. If you can’t control your mind and instincts, it would be very difficult to break down the wall to become powerful, and that was the limit that trolls had.
That is why, far from being equal to many races, they have been treated as animals and have continued the history of humiliation.
But how funny must it have been that Jamard, who was only a young troll, declared that he would overcome the limitations that had been suffered from like a hereditary disease for a long time.
‘… Jamard, was your grand dream only this big? ‘I can’t believe you left so easily.’
Zando looked closely and spoke to Magra.
“Um… Magra?”
“Yeah, no. Don’t mind what I say. Is there anything you want? “What about the offering?”
“I already prepared it at the altar.”
“Okay, it’s not my place to step forward, but I will grant your request.”
“thank you!”
It was then.
Kugugugoong…
“What is it?”
The side of the altar is steep on one side! He shouted in surprise when it turned off.
“What’s going on?”
One of the altar soldiers approached him and spoke quietly.
“It seems that there is a problem with the central axis of the altar. “The linkage with the chain is not smooth.”
“The central axis, which had been standing still, moved?”
“I… that…”
“Speak!”
The soldier caught a glimpse of Magra, who was talking with Zando about the ancestral rites to be held today, and whispered to Zando.
“It looks like a rat came into the altar.”
“what? What is it?”
“Not yet exactly… For now, we have deployed some of the soldiers who were inspecting.”
“Well done. I said it was just one person, so it will be resolved soon. By the way… how did you come up with the idea of touching the central axis? Is it someone inside? How dare you provoke the Sulfur Skull? “We must clearly reveal his identity!”
“yes!”
Magra was quietly waiting for Zando’s conversation.
He showed no signs of agitation even though the temple was shaking, and his balance was not disturbed at all.
Zando studied Magra’s countenance and tried not to offend him.
“I’m sorry, Magra. The enemies are afraid of our actions…”
“Oh, I don’t care. “I’m just concerned about the intruder’s purpose.”
“yes?”
Zando knew well that Magra did not lie, so he listened to him.
“If the central axis is disturbed, a significant amount of magical power must be used to bear the weight of the altar while it is repaired. “Who could that be?”
“That would be… that cup too.”
Sigh…
Magra’s eyes burned.
“It looks like they are planning to tie you up… I’m concerned that something like this happened so close to the Genshin Emperor.”
“What is he aiming for?”
“You can’t judge anything because you don’t know the identity. However, there is a possibility that it is a disturbance bucket. “You’re doing some pretty cute things.”
“I am sorry. “For something like this to happen at a time when the elder is visiting… I feel so embarrassed that I feel like I want to go into a rat hole.”
“Control your mind. Now that you have become the chief of a large tribe, you must have the courage to match.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
Jando led the conversation, feeling fortunate that Magra did not say anything about this incident.
“This time, if the Sulfur Skull can expand its influence beyond Nevenia’s borders, then this Zando…”
“Zando.”
“yes?”
Magra interrupted Zando.
“I guess it bothers me.”
“Someone…”
“Someone who broke into the temple. What are you aiming for? “Even if I turn the pivot and tie you up, there won’t be any damage unless something happens inside.”
“That will delay our expedition even just a little…”
When he felt that Magra was displeased, Zando stopped what he was saying.
“Kango! pharmacy!”
“Krrrrr….”
“Yes! Magra!”
Warrior Kango is a man ruled by instinct.
He was truly amazing in terms of his sheer force.
Jose was like Magra’s right-hand man who controlled him. These two were the trolls who crushed Yu Mira and her group.
“Go down and see. If there is a problem, solve it.”
Jose nodded.
Jando smiled brightly and welcomed this fact.
“It would be great if Joje and Kango come forward! “You will show your despair to your enemies.”
“Hmph, now that you are the chieftain of the Sulfur Skull, you can’t move about something like this. “Don’t worry and focus on regaining your balance.”
Zando was moved and nodded his head vigorously.
“Thank you so much, Magra.”
“okay. “I just needed to know gratitude.”
Magra was reluctant to be thanked, as if he felt uncomfortable.
“Why are you doing that?”
“Something… I feel like I’m missing something.”
* * *
Rumble…
At the moment the trolls dispersed to search for Mael, Jamaard and Yumira and the others arrived at the cage holding the prisoners.
“Hehehehe… stop… don’t…”
“Get me out of here! please! please!”
A place where screams and clamor abound.
Mira Yu checked the inmates with bloodshot eyes.
“Hey, what are they?”
“They are abandoned sacrifices. “It will be used in the original ritual.”
“Seueueup….”
A troll who appeared to be a guard came up to Yumira’s side.
Whoosh… Whoosh…
“The flesh looks tender, but it would be a shame to use as an offering.”
Jamard asked.
“…Do they eat humans? “Isn’t it a pretty old tradition?”
“Hehehe… once you get a taste for it, you keep coming back for it. “The smell of the weak that only they have makes my blood boil.”
Jamard looked around.
“By the way, do you manage the iron bars?”
“But aha… okay. If it looks good to me, I’ll give you a chance to taste it too. It’s difficult right now because it’s the Genshin System period, but in the future…”
“Are you going to manage it?”
“Is that so?”
“Then that’s it.”
“… what?”
Jamard instantly reached out and grabbed the troll’s head.
“Hey…”
“Use your keys carefully.”
Quasi profit-!
The troll, who was sitting near the iron bars and grinning, jumped up in surprise at what Jamaard had done.
“You… you…”
“Hmph!”
Mira Yu broke free in an instant and pulled out her hatchet from Jamard’s waist and threw it away.
Whirling-!
Fuquaaaaak-!
“Turn it off… turn it off….”
Shake it off.
Jamard said, handing the remaining hatchet to Yumira.
“There are two keys. Since there were quite a lot of people, it seems like they were divided into two areas. “You take charge of this place.”
Nod.
Jinglang.
Jamard handed me the keys and left.
Mira Yu came closer to the iron bars.
“Mi mummy! Aren’t you a mummy? How did you get here….”
“Mira… Ugh….”
“Mr. “Everyone… was alive.”
“Hey! Where did you come from? Did you come to die? “What is that troll again!”
“I do not have time. Kibo… Where’s Kibo?”
at that time.
“Mummy! back!”
Pushuuuk!
“Ugh… wow…”
A huge nail penetrated Zirmo’s chest and was soon torn in two.
Sigh-!
In an instant, Jirmo lost his life. Mira Yu looked at the person who did this.
“Jirmooooo! You … you … this dog …. ”
“ Is there another rat? It’s a good thing you came here. “You are that girl back then.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, but I’ll kill you!”
It was Jose who appeared behind bars.
The fishy smell of blood made Yu Mira dizzy.
Whilick-!
Kaaaaaaaaaa!
The hatchet struck Jose’s claw.
“I felt it back then too, but it’s pretty good!”
Kaaaang-!
Kaan-!
Mira Yu felt it while fighting with her opponent.
After meeting Jose once, she judged that he was slightly stronger than her.
‘I can’t win at this rate…’
My body was already exhausted from the rough chase, my mind was clouded, and I hadn’t been able to eat properly. Perhaps, if this battle continues, it will ultimately end in her defeat.
That’s why she was at the beginning of the fight.
I thought that this moment when the opponent was off guard was the only way to turn the game around.
Think briefly and act boldly.
This was Kibo’s teaching.
Wow!
[I Like Alone’s Double-Edged Sword is activated.]
[Total attack power increases by 50% for 30 seconds.]
[Total attack power is reduced by 50% for the next 20 seconds.]
[I Like Alone’s Biting Fangs is activated. ]
[Interrupts the designated target’s evasion ability for 2 seconds.]
[Bloody Adjutant is designated as the target.]
“What?”
Pot-!
2 seconds.
In that short period of time, I had to crawl into Jose’s arms.
However, it was almost impossible to avoid all the raining blades and sneak into Jose.
“haha!”
Sssssssssssssssssss-!
Because my posture was so low, I was unable to completely avoid the flying blade. To avoid the blade, you had to step back.
But then there will be no next chance. So I didn’t back down.
“This….”
Ouch!
A fingernail scratching straight across where the left eye is.
The pain was severe, but fortunately my eyes were open.
Now what she was looking at with wide eyes was Josee’s neck.
Quasi profit-!
The hatchet was lodged in Jose’s neck.
“Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
!
“die! die!”
Kwasik! Kwaziik!
Kuuuuung…
[Blood Adjutant defeated.]
[Additional reward obtained.]
“Haa… haa….”
The straight wound on the eyelid will remain as a scar. But it’s okay. Because I survived.
[The effect of the double-edged sword of I Like It Alone is activated.]
[Total attack power is reduced by 50% for 20 seconds.]
Kujik-!
I barely managed to pull the hatchet from Jose’s neck when I felt a presence again.
“Krrrrr….”
“Holy shit….”
Kango appeared, dragging an axe.
Now there is no way to fight back. Kango found her.
“Kwaaaa!”
Buuuung-!
Kango approaches, swinging his ax loudly.
Although she imagined a terrible future, Yumira did not close her eyes.
at that time.
Sigh-!
A huge hand appeared and grabbed Kango’s head.
“It’s been a while, Kango. “Is the old man well?”
“Kr… kr?”
“Then goodbye.”
Jamard, the owner of the huge hand, slammed Kango’s head down on the floor.
Kwajiiiikik-!
Persevere…
Jamard, who had taken care of Kango in an instant, spoke to her.
“Hurry.”
The cracks slowly began to widen.
