The 31st Piece Turns the Tables

Episode 419:

Aeorian, Guardian of Star’s End.

He was waiting for Maradum’s resurrection and guarding his statue.

Sereung…

Without delay, Kang Seol drew his sword and stepped forward.

It was an action to protect the party because they were an opponent who could not let down their guard.

Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

of of of of course.] [Aeorian uses Iron Blade Crushing.]

[Throws the ax and makes it come back.]

[Causes a large shock wave and deals additional damage to the target standing at the turning point.

Confucius!

Grief collided with the axe.

Let’s go together…

Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…

Chiik…

The snow was rushing out, creating grooves in the floor.

Pak-!

The ax returned and was caught in the Aeolian’s hand.

Phew…

Kangseol bent his neck from side to side and took a deep breath. The opponent’s combat power was unusual.

“Shouldn’t we help too?”

“that’s right! Let’s join forces first…”

“Just leave it alone. It looks like he’ll have to handle it alone anyway.”

“… yes?”

“What is that…”

As Ur muttered, a text message appeared in Kangseol and Han Somi’s message window.

[The resurrection ritual of Maradum, the Wizard of Ashes, uses the power: Stone of Time.] [The

Stone of Time recharges Ashes over time.]

[Forced Guardian Aeorian until enough Ashes are collected. cannot be defeated.]

[Forced Guardian Aeorian is immune to status ailments until sufficient Ashes are collected.] [As the

Ashes are collected, Maradum becomes more powerful and uses various abilities.] [The more Ashes are collected, the more powerful

Maradum becomes . Aeolian becomes powerful and uses various abilities.]

[The Time Stone is currently in an overcharged state. It is indestructible.]

[The abilities of the Time Stone can no longer be read.]

[The abilities of Maradum can no longer be read.]

…

That information also flows to Ur and Mariju. came in

To them, it felt as if these were facts they had known from the beginning.

“I never thought you would use such a cute trick….”

Kaaaaaaaaaaaa!

[The Aeolian uses a hand-to-hand assault.]

[Deals 80% of strength damage to everything it hits and is greatly knocked back.] [

If the pushed enemy hits a wall or structure, it takes the same amount of damage one more time. ]

Wow!

Snow falling far behind.

“Ur! “You can’t kill this guy.”

“Know. So, it’s a pain in the ass. Did you say Maradum? You used your head.”

Ur said to Mariju and Han So-mi.

“There is currently no way to kill that dwarf.”

“Then what should I do?”

The only person here who could withstand the Aeolian onslaught was Snowfall.

Compatibility also existed in Ur.

It was a burden for him to be immune to freezing, which was his organ, but to rush at him so mercilessly.

So, Kang Seol takes charge of Aeolian.

Ur said as he looked at the stone statue of Maradum.

“If only this part is resolved, the problem is simple.”

“You’re destroying the statue!”

“No, just watch. “It’s not that simple.”

Ur led the group to the stone statue. We are going to manipulate the beads.

“Do you enjoy traveling?”

“I don’t particularly like…”

“I don’t like going far away.”

“okay? “It’s a pity, then it’s going to be a bit painful.”

“… yes?”

“yes?”

Jiuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuing…

[The Time Stone opens the predestined door.] [

Chasing

Maradum.]

Huiuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

beuuuuupuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuueseded in front of their eyes.

“Hurry up. “Please give me a snowfall.”

“… Whatever it takes, do it quickly.”

Huh…

Huh…

Huh…

The three of the group disappeared through the hole.

Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

The conflict between Snowfall and Aeolian has begun.

* * *

Chijijijijiji…

“Ahh! “Your body…”

“You’ll be fine.”

“Are you okay?”

“This is…”

The group, except Ur, were busy looking around.

“No way… right?”

“This can’t be right…”

Ur smiled and said to them.

“Your prediction is correct.”

“Oh my… it’s an ash throne!”

“So is this all ash?”

Something fluffy floating in the air.

The phlegm was boiling and the inside of my mouth was stuffy.

Marijuu, who could not help but be amazed by the fake ash throne implemented in Star’s End, was truly overwhelmed.

“This is… the Ash Powder Throne… lost history…”

“Didn’t you say you hate traveling?”

“Well… that’s when you travel! “If it’s a ruin, you’re most welcome!”

“Unfortunately, this is not a ruin.”

Ur frowned.

“It’s a battlefield.”

“… yes?”

“No way… here…”

“Yes, Maradum is here. This guy used some tricks. “They used us as a conduit.”

“yes? “Aisle?”

“If we fail to stop Maradoom here, Maradoom will cross into reality through the door we open.”

“Well… shouldn’t you have come over in the first place?”

“Then they would all have been killed by that vicious warrior. “I think the nickname ‘Immortal’ suits him better than anyone else.”

“….”

Marijue stroked the surrounding stone gate.

“It’s an ashes throne… It’s not fake… It’s not something you watch from afar… It’s real…”

“Yes, it’s real, so let’s hurry up and find Maradum. The real Maradum will be here too.”

“But… why is there such a fuss?”

“… It seems like it was connected to this timeline from the beginning. It’s that day. “The day Maradum visited the Ash Throne.”

Han So-mi had a question.

“That’s… strange, isn’t it? Maradum’s plan began after the collapse of the Ash Throne…”

If Aeorian exists in the present, the place they arrived at must also be in the time zone when Aeorian was resurrected.

“Well… time magic isn’t that simple. All you know is that you believe that it is so. There is nothing fixed about this power. That’s why it’s dangerous magic.”

“yes? “What do you mean?”

“This current timeline is just an illusion. “You’ve probably heard that if you change the past, you can change the future, right?”

“yes! Then we will definitely create a dwarf kingdom….”

“That can’t be done. In the first place, that object that was arbitrarily named the Time Stone does not have that much power. “The number of people with that kind of power is limited.”

“… So we can’t change anything? It’s so difficult…”

“Don’t try to understand the phenomenon. There is almost nothing I say that you can understand. “Just do what you’re told.”

Ur was confident.

“If you just do what I tell you, you can all return to reality safely.”

“Is that a promise?”

“Yes, it is a promise. “I have never broken a promise.”

Phew…

Ur opened the stone door.

Kugugugugugu palace…

A deafening noise poured out from inside.

Originally, the words would have been unintelligible, but because Ur was there, things went a little easier.

[The magic spell of Ur, the frost storm, is activated.]

[Interpreting an unidentified language.]

[Interpreting the language.]

[Language interpretation is complete.]

“Block! “Stop him!”

“Don’t let them get close to the throne!”

“Sirion! Unstoppable! We are defeated. Come on…”

As soon as the group heard those words, they ran towards the direction from which the sound came.

They were strangers, but that didn’t matter in this situation.

It is a world where there are only old people and children. The only thing that threatened them was an upcoming meeting.

Whiiiiing…

“Ugh… the wind…”

“It’s a cliff! The Ash Throne… This is what it actually looks like!”

A large groove was carved in the shape of a ring around the throne.

A height close to a cliff.

But it really suited the atmosphere of this place.

“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuues

in front of me along with someone’s moaning.

“… Maradum.”

“He… Maradum!”

[The appearance of Maradum, the Wizard of Ashes, has been captured.]

[Maradum uses time to attack.]

[Maradum’s Stone of Time can be destroyed.]

Maradum was grabbing someone’s neck.

A familiar impression.

The one who was subdued was Sirion, the king of ashes.

“Ma Maradum….”

“It looks like a guest has arrived. Let’s end it now.”

Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

going going it

“Oh my god… what did you do…”

Han So-mi frowned.

This is because when Maradum let go of his hand, Sirion fell into the cliff.

It was as if they had discovered a torn page from history.

Ur muttered.

“If we destroy that orb he has, we can go back and sleep in a warm bed.”

“….”

“….”

“Look for an opportunity. You don’t have to do anything. So… act as carefully as possible.”

Maradum asked, holding the Time Stone in his hand.

“…who are you?”

“The guest you invited.”

Maradum was silent for a moment, then muttered in his beard.

“Right. Was the plan successful? But… it happens to be at this time of day.”

Maradum recognizes the identities of Ur and the two women with just one word.

Since he is a time wizard, does he also see through what happened in the future?

“So far, it’s still going to be a lot different in the future.”

Maradum’s red eyes stared at Ur.

“I am omnipotent.”

“You are so mistaken.”

Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

…

Ur’s body started to freeze.

[Ur uses body freeze.]

[Agility decreases

slightly.] [Magic recovery speed increases significantly.]

Blah blah enemy…

“This is not my specialty… I’ll borrow it.”

[Ur uses the ice flower.]

[The frost fist strikes repeatedly. The damage of a single attack is the same as that of a Frost Fist, and when hitting the same target, 10% additional damage is applied for each combo.] [

If the combo is successful, the target is slowed.]

Kwagwagwagwagagagagak-!

A blue fist flew towards Maradum.

Whoa…

The Stone of Time vibrated.

[Maradum uses time slowdown.]

[All force applied to Maradum above a certain speed slows down.]

Jeeeeee…

As the wave stirred, Ur’s ice flower slowed down.

Maradum is already out of the ice flower’s range.

Maradum spoke calmly.

The fast-paced battlefield seemed to wait for him at his own pace.

“The Aeolian… what did he do?”

Kwasik…

Kwasik…

Ur’s arms turned into mantis blades.

[Ur uses the ice scythe.]

[All bleeding caused by the ice scythe causes frostbite.]

Faaaaat!

Ur tried to rush to close range to Maradum, but his movements were also affected by time slowdown and slowed down.

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

!

An attack of ice scythes shaking in all directions. It was a sharp attack, but only the slash aimed at Maradum slowed down.

Other slashes cut through other things senselessly.

“… Tsk.”

“It’s useless. “I ask again, what about Aeolian?”

“Your servant is not coming. “I met an opponent I could never beat.”

“… Time will tell that too.”

Ur laughed at him.

“You overestimate the power of time.”

“The timing is perfect.”

“Well… even if it’s perfect, you’re not perfect in handling it, right?”

Kugugu Palace…

One of the giant stone statues at the entrance to Daejeon, which had been cut by an ice scythe, began to fall.

“Now!”

Huh…

Marijuu’s magic wave, which was hiding and waiting for an opportunity, trembled greatly for an instant.

[Mariju uses the giant’s hand gesture.]

[For a short period of time, the force with mass acts in the direction guided.]

[At this time, the magic power is affected by intelligence.]

Kugugugugugung…

A dwarf stone statue. I fell towards Maradum.

It looked like it would crush Maradum in an instant.

however.

[Maradum uses time stop.]

[Stops non-living objects.]

Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

the statue was floating in the air and did not move at all.

at that time.

Sigh!

Quick-!

[All college students use Silent Compulsion.]

[The arrow does not make a sound.]

[The destructive power is reduced by 50% and cannot penetrate armor.]

“… Huh? “You got it right!”

Han So-mi’s arrow, looking for an opportunity, accurately hit the stone of time.

As a result, a small crack appeared in the Stone of Time.

Maradum’s expression changed.

A voice was heard complaining about him from afar.

“Maradum! “Did you really do all this?”

“Put everything back to normal! “You ugly wizard!”

Old dwarves and overly young dwarves tried to join the battlefield in droves.

The weapons were heavy and wouldn’t be of much help, but I could feel their spirit.

“…bugs.”

Quaaaaang-!

Maradum, who was out of range of the statue, blocked the entrance to the Great Hall with it.

Whioooooooo…

[A certain amount of ash has been charged.]

[Maradum can control time.]

Maradum muttered.

“All life, young and old, is weak. You can’t escape it either.”

“….”

Paching…

He equips the ice scythe just like before and jumps towards Maradum.

Maradum clicked his tongue.

“Be a child, wizard.”

[Maradudum uses immature mature.]

[The target comes to the past time.

]

The Stone of Time shot out light toward Ur.

“no!”

“Avoid!”

It’s already late.

The beam hit Ur precisely in the solar plexus.

Then Ur’s body swelled endlessly.

“Aaaaaah!”

The image of Ur from the past when he became a gigantic spirit and threatened the snowfall appeared.

This is something Maradum did not expect either.

Huuuuuuung-!

Ur’s huge fist was about to hit the stone floor where Maradum stood.

“Huh…”

Maradum, looking embarrassed, quickly shot out the light once more.

Huaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Light once again reached Ur.

Fortunately, before he smashes the throne.

“….”

But Ur was nowhere to be seen.

“Kk…kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk…”

Displeasure welling up from the inside.

“A wizard, a wizard….”

“Where is it!”

Maradum was afraid.

The appearance of Ur that had just changed was something even Maradum could not understand.

“Where is it? The correct answer is…”

Maradum looked down at the Stone of Time.

His face was reflected in the stone of time.

And I saw a blue glow in one of his red eyes.

“It’s inside you.”

“Keuuuuuuu!”

Bajjik…

Maradum gives strength to both hands.

He acted like he was going to destroy the Time Stone.

“no!”

Huaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Maradum quickly shined a light towards himself.

Ugh…

Maradum was aging quickly.

And Ur bounced out.

“Huh… Huh… What are you? “What on earth is this…”

Maradum exposed himself to light and quickly regained his body’s vitality.

And then he tried to shine another light towards Ur.

The power that makes you grow old.

But the hand didn’t move.

It’s scary.

I thought that if I moved his time, something else might happen and hold me back.

“Are you scared? “That’s what time is.”

In the end, Maradum’s actions were quite appropriate.

Ur was likely to be at his weakest now.

In the first place, it was nearly impossible to bring him back to his childhood, as he had been alive since the days of the Khagon Empire.

Ur grinned and looked at the Stone of Time.

“It won’t be long before it breaks.”

“Who the hell are you?”

Ur, the original mage.

Even the almost omnipotent power of time was just an illusion before him.

“Wizard, that stone you cherish….”

“The Stone of Time is not just a stone!”

“Tsk… right… the people who made it… also said something like that. Who dares to be arrogant in front of someone…”

Maradum’s pupils shrank.

“… you?”

“So I killed a lot of them. The magicians of time. “Question here.”

The wizard caught up in madness witnessed madness itself.

Ur’s eyes glowed blue.

“… How many people did they kill?”

Damn it…

Frost formed on his hands.

Compared to the terrible past I had just seen, it was an infinitely benevolent light.
