The 31st Piece Turns the Tables

Episode 394

: Pajijijijik-!

The light that bloomed from grief was the force that drove Snowfall and Yurim to their final destination that winter.

Sigh…

After taking a deep breath.

Paaaaaaaaaaaa!

He approached Jamard in an instant.

Umm-!

Jamard paused for a moment due to the change in movement, but that didn’t mean he was in danger.

Taaaaaang-!

Jamard’s expression did not look good after he struck down the snowfall sword.

“… What an annoying force.”

I’m going to go to the middle of the day…

I’m going to go to the middle of the day…

Snowfall that relieves the power.

‘… It’s an incredible power.’

My whole body was boiling.

The energy of the storm swept through my entire body, and magical energy enveloped my entire body in an instant.

However, the power felt by the snowfall was not just about the energy of the storm.

Shinyu.

It was his strength.

When his power mixed with the power of the yaksha, it brought about a tremendous synergistic effect.

‘…I can follow you.’

The path of Yaksa.

The world he sees.

It was hard to shake…

As Kang Seol gave strength once again, a strong energy flowed from the sword.

Jamard glanced at him once and then took a stance.

Paaaaaaat-!

‘see!’

The blue line is connected.

I followed the line and swung my sword.

Huaaaaaaaaaaa!

Kaaaaaaaaaa!

However, the sword was immediately blocked.

‘why?’

Grumble…

“You’re still immature.”

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

.

_ This did not mean that the Yaksha could see the path alone.

Jamard, who had reached the highest level, was also fully responding to that power.

Although she took a step back, Kangseol wanted to bump into Jamad a little more.

Snowfall moves and Shinyu leads. There was no need to pay particular attention to the hand holding the sword. If you leave your body to the flow of Yasha, the sword entrusted to Shinyu will move in the optimal direction.

“What is this!”

Heartbreak screamed.

Such natural movements.

Kaaaaang!

Kaaaang!

Even though it bounced off the armor, it was not in danger.

Kaga River!

Kaaaaang!

When he swung his sword and aimed at Jamard’s neck, Jamard used his armor to block the sword with the back of his hand.

Phew…

When the other fist flashed across my face, I bent my waist back and kicked my feet up.

Of course, Jamard avoided the successive attacks by moving sideways like a water stream and started the next attack.

Kaaaang!

Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

…

Cheeeeeet…

Sweat and blood squirted out in a line, making a mess on the floor.

Paint poured out endlessly like a painting. Minor wounds regenerated and broken bones quickly healed.

Although Kang Seol’s body was close to that of a monster, Jamard’s resilience was also incredible, in addition to his origins.

The back-and-forth was uninterrupted. Jamard stopped breathing at some point and made it short.

Tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

!

“

….

”

‘If you make even one mistake… you will surely die.’

The snowfall has now followed the path of all the yakshas. Nevertheless, it was not easy to gain the upper hand.

The power in his fist was enough to collapse a mountain, and the magic spells were all fatal.

I liked it.

I enjoyed the precariousness of dancing on a platform of extreme tension.

The other person was also sincere.

Even though it was fake, even if it was a look from a long time ago, Jamard was doing his best.

Whoops!

During the attack, Jamard’s fist hit Kang Seol’s face.

Because I prepared in advance, I avoided fainting, but I lost consciousness for a moment.

He stretched out his fists along the path of the Yaksha.

I’m so tired!

Quasi profit!

Snowfall’s fist also landed in Jamard’s chin.

Even while being punched by each other, they did not take their eyes off the other person.

Because they know what fighting is.

Whirring!

Paaaaat-!

Kang Seol retreated for a moment, leaving behind the sharp battle. I had to recover my stamina for a while.

‘My jaw was broken and my ribs were gone.’

When the blood of the beginning was boiling like now, I would have recovered in a few seconds, but I had to catch my breath and prepare for the next move.

Slowly, the burden of the yaksha was accumulating on my body.

My whole body was boiling.

Standing on the battlefield and knowing that the opponent was my past self made my whole body boil.

– Seol-ah.

Xin Yu said.

– Isn’t it cold?

Kang Seol chuckled.

“Yeah… it’s cold.”

They were already in the snowy field that winter. The eyes facing each other were looking at the same place.

Sigh…

Jamard was wrapped in armor made of rock.

He preserved his magic power by using it only when absolutely necessary.

He is probably preparing for great power. Because it was a flow that Kangseol often used when he was with him.

If Jamard unleashes that power at once through great magic…

‘Can I stop it?’

It’s doubt about yourself.

It is also the disillusionment of one’s own weakness.

Those words suddenly came to mind.

It was a conversation I had with Shinyu a long time ago.

– Kang said. He says he feels strange when he faces the wall.

Maybe all these doubts started from there.

– The path you have walked is your proof. You are not weak. Strong? Although it is a different kind of strength than mine. Kang said that all roads eventually come to a crossroads. The same goes for the path you walk.

‘Could it be… that I’m facing a wall?’

His continued criticism and doubts brought Kang Seol to this point. Maybe he didn’t even know there was a wall in front of him.

– Seol-ah. How much longer can you hold on?

‘… 5 minutes at most.’

As soon as I conveyed my thoughts to Shinyu, I immediately heard an answer from him.

– There is a way.

‘… what?’

– For real this time. My brothers told me Surely… we can go one step further. Can you trust me?

Kang Seol answered without any doubt.

‘believe.’

There was even a time when I received his sword directly. A sword that was even beautiful.

– … thank you.

Kangseol turned his eyes to Jamad. He was shaking his head and frowning.

‘… I think they think the same thing.’

– what?

‘I’m probably thinking of finishing it soon…’

Kang Seol knew Jamad as well as Shin Yu, or even better than Shin Yu.

I could read his thoughts just by his eyes and facial expressions.

“Hehe… Hehe… That’s a shame.”

“…There’s a problem, right?”

“The will of the labyrinth intervened. They talk endlessly about killing you. Annoying guy… I guess it’s okay if I enjoy it this much.”

“….”

“Do you remember the snowfall? “Memories of that day.”

It was a winter with frozen snowfall here, but it was also the sharp rocky mountain where I met Jamard.

“I remember everything.”

“I didn’t tell you, but… sometimes memories of this time came to mind.”

Jamard’s thoughts that he didn’t know about snowfall.

“You were a restless idiot hiding behind scrap metal.”

“… I knew that, but it was a bit harsh.”

“Kuhk… well… well….”

Jamard’s eyes became calm.

“You’ve come this far. The immature guy back then….”

“….”

“One important thing is one step. Give it your all. Soon, I will lose control of my body to Labyrinth…”

He was shocked…

The magical power of the majestic mountain gathered around him. A great honor given only to those who overcome trials.

That beauty.

“If you die, die to me before then.”

I was able to overcome trials that seemed impossible to overcome because I was with him.

But now is the time to try to stand on your own.

Taaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahchchchlightlight mark!

Jamard’s hands clapped together and his fist was pulled back.

Whioooooooo…

It’s the final signal.

“Pour it all out on this Jamard!”

[Jammard uses a great spell: Stone Fist.]

[Inflicts acid and shadow combined damage on the target.]

Ujijijijijijijijik…

Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

A huge spell that started from Jamard’s hand.

The whole world was full of rocks. The fear that Ajanik felt was now met by Snowfall.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…

Yacha, show me the way.

‘… this.’

The blue lines converged in one place. To the center of the giant stone fist.

Not avoiding a fight.

Is that the way?

then.

Sreung…

Paaah…

Kang Seol walked towards the end without hesitation.

If you don’t believe in the yakshas, if you don’t believe in the divine powers that have been fighting for so many years…

you wouldn’t have reached this place.

asked Yurim.

Is this the right path?

Naturally, there was no answer.

The body is light and the hardships are heavy.

The sword

cried.

A different energy than before flowed from the sword.

– Seol’s ancestor left this sword in his records. It remains unfinished.

Time passed slowly.

Maybe Shinyu also shared the same feeling.

Otherwise, these words, conveyed solely through intention, may develop as quickly as the thoughts in one’s head.

– The records clearly stated that the sword was inspired by fleeing from an approaching storm.

Shin Yu’s sword was clearly a storm. But the storm I experienced that winter was all about fear.

It was rough and desolate.

– I was a fool. This is not a sword made of fear.

Shin Yu recalled what he heard from Shin Hyeon.

– Our ancestors were people who liked pranks. You must have deliberately distorted important parts of the record.

Our ancestors wanted to make their descendants realize this for themselves.

– In those days, magic was rampant. The slash-and-burn village where our ancestors lived disappeared overnight. … It must not have been from the storm that our ancestors fled. In fact, that fact remains in other records that you haven’t seen. That’s where I found out too.

A swarm of magic enemies.

It must have been a group of magic bandits chasing after them, making harsh noises of horses’ hooves that resembled thunder.

So there is no storm anywhere in this story?

– Are you disappointed?

Why is such a great sword…

– Tsk… There was definitely a storm. That much is clear. You know what I mean, right?

Shinhyeon’s words left a lot to Shinyu.

– Seol-ah The storm wasn’t chasing me.

There was a storm.

– It was right in front of me. Our ancestors… didn’t run away from the storm.

At that moment, a huge flash of light and lightning exploded from Bitan.

Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

– Even the traces of the chasing magic bandits were trampled by them. Our ancestors jumped into the dangerous storm that would suck them all in.

It is not the sword of fear.

– This is the sword of reverence.

I’m going to go to the middle of the day!

The sword advanced, cutting through the stone fist. As soon as the sword and the spell met, Kang Seol’s mind became faint.

It fell towards the abyss.

* * *

I came to my senses in complete darkness.

At that moment, a story began.

[A long time ago, a man arrived in Kongori.]

A scene soon unfolds like a landscape.

It was a time when the snowfall had spread and we were just starting to get used to it.

[The man was weak, but he gradually gathered his strength.]

Aaaaaaa!

A bloody battle unfolded on the sharp rock mountain.

[Defeating the leader of the Rock Fang…]

Numerous incidents occurred in the Great Forest.

[There were many incidents in the great forest adjacent to Nobira.]

[The world the man experienced was only negativity and sadness.]

– Heroes are lazy. You didn’t save me. Me… me…

– I am… a villain.

[Life wandered in search of light.]

– And while living, if possible, do good deeds sometimes.

– Please kill my brother Jamad. Please kill that cursed body…

– Everny It’s okay if you fail. Because they are wizards, wizards are a group of people who always fail.

[You must be exhausted. No, I was tired.]

[There was no light anywhere.]

[The man walks lonely through a world full of despair.]

Snowfall walked slowly.

Suddenly, I sensed that a person had appeared around me.

[Look around.]

I saw familiar faces.

Talkie Kiri Ziliac.

All the horses he had experienced were walking around him one by one.

Snowfall walked in a daze.

Forward as if possessed.

[It’s all the same. Even though he is trampled by many things, he has no choice but to overcome it.]

[The man gathered his devastated heart and faced forward again.]

[Ordeals were always given to him. Ah, everything. This is the library of all things.]

– We will expel them from all things.

[Yes, something like this happened.]

– Really… he came….

[Is this… Yasha? Let’s talk about this later. It’s going to be quite a long story.]

– I’m back from hell.

[Who knew that a relationship that started in the world would turn the North upside down?]

[There were many other things that happened to the man. The chase with the vicious dragon and the complicated story with the princess of the empire.]

[Everything from start to finish exhausted him.]

After a while, the words came out again.

[Now look around again.]

There was nothing.

There was no one around.

[The path the man walked was faster than anyone else’s and rougher than anyone else’s. Maybe it’s natural to fall.]

– Okay, from here on, I have to walk alone.

[It’s okay to fall once in a while, right?]

[Falling is another proof that you’re walking.]

Whiiiiing…

The day suddenly got cold.

[Something unexpected happens to such a man.]

– Surprise! What are you thinking, Seol?

[I met the girl in my dream.]

[The girl changed many aspects of the man.]

[Their meeting sparked many sparks.]

[It was also… painful.]

– Let’s go back. Let’s go back together. …

– … I am Yaksha.

[That’s right, he’s the owner of the terrible mask she saw earlier. Isn’t it surprising?]

[Her existence represents the cruelty of the world.]

– Ugh… I can’t do something that never happened, Seol-ah. Everything that happened to us… and to Yurim… I couldn’t make it happen.

[Even though she is such a kind girl.]

[Huh? How much did we talk about?]

Over there…

over there…

Kangseol realized where this place was. I knew it because it was a place I wanted to reach so badly.

[Are we there already? Then I ask you this.]

[You are at a critical crossroads. [We have already come this far.]

The snowfall has stopped.

Since arriving here, I haven’t stopped once.

But I had no choice but to stop before the light came.

Because she is there.

No, everyone, including Yoohyeon, was there.

was looking at him.

[Is the girl smiling?]

Yurim, who had taken off her mask, was smiling brightly.

“… yes.”

[okay. Then what do you plan to do?]

[Are you going to stop here?]

Kang Seol shook his head.

He started walking.

Slowly… very slowly…

I moved towards the light.

[This is an intersection.]

[A place where all roads become intertwined.]

[You are there now.]

This is the tunnel where Jamard and Karen encountered light.

Another name for that place is intersection.

[Run.]

Tapping…

Tapping…

Started running.

“Huh… Huh….”

I was out of breath.

I felt like my head was going to explode.

There was no sound in my ears except for the sound of breathing and hitting the ground.

It soon became music.

[You must not forget.]

[That you are free.]

[That you are infinite.]

[Crow of the Veil, now is the time to soar.]

I ran on the endless runway.

Faster than anyone else.

Stronger than anyone else.

I took a step.

Dadada…

“Haa… haa…”

And finally, we came out of the long tunnel.

As I came out of the light, I saw faces I missed.

Although their faces were blurred, they were all his family members.

Karen and Karuna.

Even Jamad and Ur.

Everyone was waiting there.

[This is a man’s story.]

[No, it’s your story.]

At that moment, the world disappeared.

Fuuuuuuk-!

After stabbing something hard.

“Tsk… Tsk… this is how it ends up…”

“….”

The sword dug into Jamard’s chest.

Kang Seol made eye contact with Jamad with shining eyes and then smiled.

“… serve.”

[Your story will continue.]

[Your footsteps are the times.]

“Ah… That’s right…”

[Have the world under your feet. Giant of the times.]

[The darkest light….]

Jamard’s head slowly tilted downward.

“I miss you… I mean.”

[A giant of the era is born!]

[Ascend to the highest level!]

[Successfully complete the lore adventure ‘The Darkest Light.’]

[The lore of power begins.]

…
