The 31st Piece Turns the Tables

Episode 463:

An old castle adorned with darkness.

All of the owners of this fortress in the past have died, and now those who despise its spirit and value have taken over the fortress.

That place…

That place…

“Master, this place is as bad as ever.”

A man accompanied by a somewhat immature-looking student. Apart from this unpleasant place, the disciple was proud of his teacher.

The fact that the teacher could walk here with confidence was in itself a testament to his high status.

“It’s okay now, but when you enter the venue, don’t say anything or show any reaction. “The people gathered here are people who can show their anger just by your presence.”

“Haab… yes. “I will keep that in mind.”

The fortress was old but grand.

Although it is now in decline, it can be seen that it was once prosperous.

“I… Master.”

“What is it?”

“What kind of person is the person who killed Shurajin?”

The master walking with his disciple was known to the world by the name of Gregory.

A master of shadows and one of the greatest figures of our time.

“It’s nothing to worry about at all. Shurajin died because he was weak. Just keep that in mind.”

“… Apart from Jian who betrayed him, it must have been the work of those who were attached to him. … Did you see the shadow it left behind?”

“… saw.”

“It was no ordinary shadow.”

Sigh…

Gregory put his hand out in front of his student and stopped him.

“Don’t say anything from now on. “The moment you open your mouth is the time of your death.”

“….”

That one…

That one…

Gregory approaches and sits down at the round, ring-shaped table.

“You came. “Shadow Man.”

“Hekina-dono.”

Hekina of the high wings.

One who acts like a human and talks like a human.

But he was a troll.

The head of the Great Wings of the Great Tribe that serves the God of Clouds.

No one could question that he was here.

“Such a title is inconvenient… Do whatever you want.”

“I will sit down.”

“I don’t own this place, so don’t ask me for permission.”

후우우우웅…

후우우우우우웅…

후우우우우우우우웅…

실내에 있으나 엄청난 압박감이 느껴질 만한 마력 파동이 근처에서 느껴졌다.

“… you’re here.”

“It is a magic power full of arrogance and madness.”

Kuu Woong …

I heard a sound that seemed to be sitting down around the citadel.

Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss–

c However, the energy was the same.

It was clear that he was a madman.

He came into the fortress.

“Hmm… Is it just the two of you?”

“Azanik, are you here?”

“So, what is that person behind you?”

“I am your disciple.”

“I thought it was a snack like this.”

“You’re joking too much.”

“It’s not a joke, so you don’t need to worry.”

Azanik glared in human form.

Soon the reptile’s cold eyes scanned Gregory’s student and then fixed on Gregory. The disciple’s legs became weak and he was trembling just by looking at him.

Gregory, on the other hand…

swoosh…

calmly made eye contact with Azanik.

“… That’s funny. “It’s also fun.”

Azanik knew that very few people had made eye contact with him so far, so he internally acknowledged Gregory.

He said as he sat down.

“I want to taste your meat someday. “I wonder if he is as cocky as the owner of his body.”

“I will take it as a compliment.”

“I came because I had something important to talk about today. But I can’t see Agras?”

“Here he comes.”

Jeok…

Jeok…

A wizard in shabby clothes moved a chair and sat down.

“You’re late.”

“It’s surprising that you know that.”

“I have a few things to coordinate. “The first plan has already gone awry, so there’s no need to rush, right?”

“You say anything with your mouth open… do you want to be punished?”

“If it’s a punishment, I’ll take it after everything is over. “If you’re still interested in my punishment then.”

“…Agras.”

Agrath, the great one.

A person who has surpassed the human lifespan.

He, who was committed to evil deeds, suddenly disappeared and many people thought he was already dead.

But he was alive.

Still clear.

“First, I would like to express my gratitude to everyone who responded to the urgent summons and begin with the summary of the case.”

The reason why they had no choice but to get together in a hurry.

“The Confederacy collapsed as planned. However, everyone knows that this is only half a success.”

“Didn’t the plan go somewhere?”

“It’s not like that. No, even if that were the case, it wouldn’t have been possible to stop it. “This plan must have been something we couldn’t stop even if we knew about it.”

A new drug containing the blood of three giants is distributed and infected with frost fever. By exploding those infected with frost fever, they are reduced to enormous magical power and absorbed into it to resurrect the three giants.

Agras was clearly confident of success until halfway through. But when the infected met the foreshadowing of the explosion sooner than expected, they realized that things were going strangely.

“Someone was involved in this. “We completely sealed the end of frost fever.”

“Exactly what method did you use?”

“I’m not sure… but I think it probably tapped into the resonance of Frost Fever. Do you feel like you joined the resonance and manipulated the flow? We promoted an explosion and prevented it again. Wow… that’s an amazing method.”

“This is not the time for admiration.”

“It was an incredible opponent. A huge amount of preparation time was saved with just one move. Even though I am an enemy, I have no choice but to admit it. “Isn’t that right?”

“….”

Azanic was displeased, but Agras was not wrong.

In fact, when asked if even he could prevent the explosion of frost fever, he could not give a definitive answer.

“This has bought our enemies some time. “Perhaps what they are aiming for is the collapse of Congress.”

“Stop talking nonsense, Agras. Of course there must be a solution, right?”

“of course. That’s why I gathered a lot of atromil.”

Agras said, placing his hand on his chin.

“We have begun manufacturing the Atromil bomb.”

“bomb? “The Federation has already collapsed, so what can we use it for?”

“This is a bomb that will bring back the explosion of frozen infected people.”

“….”

“To put it simply, the wizard who prevented this incident broke into the resonance of the infected and placed an incredibly strong lock on them. “It is so strong that it will never be relieved by normal horsepower response.”

“Use a bomb to destroy it?”

“yes.”

“… When will the bomb be completed?”

“I’m not sure, but it might take ten or twenty days.”

When Azanik frowned, displeased with the delay in time, Agras calmed him down.

“On the other hand, we are preparing for the direct resurrection of the three giants.”

“… what? “Is that possible?”

The three giants were kings of an old age.

Bringing them back to the present was that difficult.

“There are people who offer to help. “No, more accurately, you accepted my request.”

Gregory, Hekina, and Azanik expressed their doubts.

“A new helper?”

“Are they trustworthy?”

Agras laughed quietly and then shouted.

“Please come in.”

Swoosh…

Buk…

Buk…

A man and a woman quietly approached.

The man’s side was a pale elf wearing black armor.

“Hmm….”

“Ho….”

Unusual power.

“You came from Yeongsaeng Church.”

“Youngsaenggyo?”

“Wasn’t the lineage of life cut off after the immortal disappeared?”

“Even so, it still remains a powerful group. It also holds secrets related to immortality and eternal life, so it will help in this resurrection ceremony.”

The Black Knight was about to sit down on the chair when Azanic spoke to him.

“It won’t be that way.”

“….”

“I’ll say it again. “It won’t be that way.”

“Hwiyu…”

The woman standing behind the Black Knight took off the hood of her robe.

I flinch…

His outstanding appearance is enough to embarrass everyone. It was evaluated as being the most outstanding piece of sculpture created in the name of human beings.

“If you had left me sitting like that, I would have gone back.”

“… Because I didn’t recognize you?”

“Because I don’t want to be with people who don’t know how to judge others.”

“name is?”

“Call me Shiloh.”

Siloi.

It’s a name I’ve never heard of.

Still, something was ominous.

Plus, it’s an unfathomable power.

I knew it was strong, but I didn’t know how strong it was.

Duruk… As

Azanik glared at Siloi with his reptilian eyes, Siloi grinned.

“It’s annoying, so let’s get straight to the point. The offer was interesting. Are you trying to resurrect the three giants? “What are you planning to do by resurrecting those guys?”

“…Do you want to know that much?”

“It’s okay if you don’t want to say anything. “Because there are things we need to protect each other.”

“What is the answer?”

Shiloi laughed.

“good! “I will help revive the three giants.”

Afterwards, small talk was exchanged and the members of the council dispersed.

“Master, is it right to join hands with the council?”

“… Their ends are only my means. “It’s probably the same for them too.”

Gregory leaves.

“… Is this really the only way left for us, Barbra?”

Hekai leaves.

“The atromyl blood vessels are taking shape.”

“Hmph, that’s one of the reasons I won’t kill you.”

“I guess I need to come up with more reasons not to die like this. But as expected… the dragon’s body is different. “I never thought atromil would penetrate without any side effects.”

“It doesn’t feel good to feel like I’ve become your test subject, but I feel a huge power.”

“Once the blood vessel is complete… Azanic will become the ruler of the entire land.”

“I guess so… but why is that troll with me?”

“Their power is not huge, but it cannot be ignored. “There is no one like them to keep the Baldu tribe in check.”

“Hmph…what happened? And… speaking of Shiloh…”

“Ah! How was it?”

“I don’t know. “I couldn’t feel anything from him.”

“It was the same for me too. However, as long as you use it as part of a plan, there will be no problem. It won’t be a problem later. “If Azanik gains great power.”

Azanic and Agrath left.

“Taliade.”

“I thought I told you not to call me that? “What are you going to do if you get caught?”

“…Siloi. What do you plan to do? Why did you accept their offer?”

“Ahaha! They use each other. I guess it’s the same for them too? “I knew as soon as I saw that each person had different ideals and plans.”

“The three giants… they are dangerous people.”

“Oh, you said you saw it. how was it?”

“He was the worst tyrant. There was no contact with me. “All races were enslaved.”

“The three giants or whatever, it has nothing to do with me. “In the end, it all gets eaten up by the biggest plan.”

“Is that biggest plan your plan?”

“well? “You’ll find out when you go, right?”

“….”

the black knight asked.

“What about the Shinigami you mentioned?”

“I found it. two.”

Finally, the Black Knight and Shiloi left.

When Kangseol heard the name Agras, he tried to control his emotions.

“What’s wrong with snowfall?”

“No… no.”

The yaksha within him expressed his anger at the name Agras. Snowfall had to work hard to control it.

“I’ll tell you about the council’s plans I knew about.”

The council’s plan presented by Jian was close to the draft, but not significantly different.

“They plan to achieve two goals at the same time with one means.”

Snow and his party were shocked when they heard about the enormous impact that would spread around Holm, the vector of the frost plague.

“… We must convey this to Ur in time.”

“uh? Uh…”

“Let’s start with that first.”

When Kang Seol looked at Sindio, she nodded.

“I will take my time looking at the ruins and then deliver the snowfall and news first.”

“uh? okay. “That would be a good idea.”

Kangseol and Sindio went back up the same way they came in.

Kang Seol quickly wrote down the information Jian said on the note.

“Take it slow. … hmm?”

Sindio looked at the sky and blinked.

“I guess there’s already a reply.”

The bird sat on Sindio’s hand and raised one paw.

Kang Seol unwrapped the note and unfolded it.

The first sentence of the note erased the expression from Kang Seol’s face.

– Ur is dead.
