The 31st Piece Turns the Tables

Episode 476

Kaaaaaaa!

Kang!

The battle between Karuna and the Black Knight did not seem like it would end easily, just looking at the atmosphere of the preliminary battle. It was the complete opposite of the atmosphere on the battlefield for both sides, which began with an exploration war.

The Black Knight’s outstretched foot.

Faaaaaaaaaaa!

chin-!

The armor on the back of his arm repelled the attack.

Whoa…

Karuna used Ganzo to pull the Black Knight.

“Sigh!”

Despite the unexpected force, the Black Knight’s balance did not collapse.

Kkrikkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

!

Two knights crossing swords.

Because they were transcendents, it was not a flashy fight.

It was a cautious movement, as if walking on thin ice, as if a small loophole could lead to a fatal defeat.

“Why… are you in the Eternal Life Church?”

“Because each person has their own circumstances.”

“… What are you planning!”

“Do you think you can stop it if you know?”

Whoa whoa!

“Ugh…”

The Black Knight kicked Karuna’s abdomen with his knee.

Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

…..

The subsequent combined attack was blocked by Karuna using Manzo to push away.

The battle between the two seemed likely to reach a stalemate for a while.

And the place that showed a similar pattern was, of course, the place where transcendentalists met.

Gregory stroked his chin.

“Things got a little complicated.”

“The ring of aspiration… This is truly the power of the age of struggle. Honestly, I never expected it to show this level of power. “It was my mistake.”

Aggras trembled when he saw the power that had even enveloped Azanik and made him howl.

“To think that that power would extend to Lord Azanic… It’s truly absurd. And you guys who made things happen like this must have been prepared, right?”

Karen and Kang Seol stand with expressionless faces.

Snowfall nodded in the direction of Agras. It was a signal to Karen.

“Come here wizard. “I will explain it well.”

“Ah… I don’t like it. Just by looking at him, he is full of motivation. “I don’t like people who are overly passionate.”

[Agras uses the power: Defeatism.]

[Agras stains the opponent with negativity.] [

Targets branded with Defeatism have 100 Vigor.]

[Vigor decreases when damaged in battle. It’s possible. Conversely, when damage is inflicted, vitality is restored.]

[If it loses all vitality, it becomes Agrath’s doll.] [

Agras’ doll can move according to Agras’ will and become his host.]

“It is said that the compatibility is lost. …”

“I can’t help it. So, do you want to deal with this side?”

“Hmm… neither one looks easy. Please finish it quickly and help me. “I’m not an expert in combat.”

“I get it.”

Gregory promises to end the snowfall early and help Agras.

Paaaaang-!

Karen disappeared after Agras soared into the air.

Gregory and Snow Seol are left alone.

As if by fate, they recognized each other.

Gregory calmly glared at Snowfall. Kang Seol had something to say to him, but Gregory spoke first.

“Right. “Is it the same species?”

“… I guess so.”

“I think you’re still a little old.”

“Do you want an honorific title? “I tend to refrain from dealing with wicked people.”

“I just want to know.”

Woooooo…

Kang Seol went into a state of excitement over Jian’s death. This can’t have good results. The opponent was strong and I had to refine my fighting spirit.

Sharp, very sharp.

Colliding recklessly is the clumsiest way to deal with fighting spirit.

“I had a feeling that the conversation would make sense, but was I mistaken?”

“I’m just curious. You don’t fit in with the council.”

“It’s hard to know whether this is a compliment or a criticism.”

“Literally. “I don’t think you would be the type of person to be caught up in the council’s nonsense.”

“You speak as if you know me well.”

“In addition to the value of the name, its weight.”

“If that’s the case, then it’s definitely worth talking about.”

Gregory asked, assuming a comfortable posture.

“Why are you fighting?”

“… what?”

“Isn’t there a reason to fight?”

“I can’t reveal it.”

“Hehe… Well, there might be various reasons. The whole world is fighting. Fighting is nothing special. It is just a convenient means and process to reach a conclusion. Even among those who fight, there are real and fake ones. “It’s easy to tell them apart.”

Gregory raises his finger.

“Why are you fighting?”

“Why are we fighting?”

“Science for the convenience of mankind and faith to approach God ultimately have a purpose. Me too. “I also have a dream.”

“It was a dream…”

Kang Seol listened calmly to Gregory’s words. It’s like getting time to organize your thoughts and sharpen your fighting spirit.

“Living in a peaceful world. “Being able to relax quietly without anyone making a fuss.”

“… It’s a long way from what you’ve done, isn’t it?”

“It is a sacrifice of the present for the future. “It’s a little noisy.”

The surrounding area was full of loud noises.

The battlefield where Keshii, Deki, and the troops of the Council fought together was dizzying.

“Have you ever thought about the power you have?”

“shadow?”

“Yes, it is a powerful and close to the source force. In fact, every power has potential if you dig deep. “But the shadow is special.”

“why?”

“Because it is closest to the darkness that existed before the creation of the world. “All life in this world is based on darkness.”

“This is my first time hearing this.”

“This fortress, Azanic, and you are ultimately made of darkness. So even though they are different, they have at least one thing in common.”

Unpleasant, sticky feeling.

Snowfall predicted where Gregory would reach his conclusion.

“… That’s right. “We can be united as one.”

Gregory was purely crazy.

“It turns everyone into a shadow. Then the world will be quiet. “There won’t be any fighting.”

“You’re crazy. Listen up to that point. The reason I fight isn’t for one reason, and it’s not that great. But if you try to block my path here…”

Sreung…

Huung…

Kang Seol took a stance while holding the heartbreak.

“I will cut you down.”

“… It’s good to be young, and I like that youth too. You know what? Fighting against the strong gives inspiration. Moreover, if it is of the same species, it goes without saying.”

Taaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahchchchlightlight mark!

“I hope my fight with you gives me some inspiration.”

Whioooooo…

[Gregory uses Power: Stealth.]

[Gregory can summon as a shadow regardless of the target.] [Gregory can summon as a shadow without the target’s consent.]

[Gregory can summon as a shadow without the target’s consent.] [Gregory can summon as a shadow without the target’s consent.

] The target can be summoned as a shadow in a special form.]

[Gregory’s shadow space is vast.]

…

[The opponent is a master of shadow summoning.]

[This is a battle that gives each other tremendous inspiration.]

[Meteor shower (流star rain)! If you maintain the meteor shower state, enlightenment will continue to come to you.]

Whioooooo…

When Gregory clapped his hands, squad-sized summons came pouring out.

‘… You’re here.’

A lot will change depending on what kind of summons Gregory has… that is, what kind of hand he has.

First of all, it did not seem to be a special summoned beast, perhaps because it was meant to be an exploration war.

“It’s an army that the now-vanished Kingdom of Temoho was secretly experimenting with. “It was discarded a long time ago, but now it’s in my hands.”

“What do they mean?”

Sigh…

“Is that important?”

Paaaaaaaaaa!

A shadow approached at incredible speed.

Sssssssssssssssssss-!

And the snowfall that decapitates the shadow as soon as it gets close.

“…Are you planning to save your strength?”

“You too.”

“Well, okay. “Let’s watch.”

The fight will not be decided in an instant. Just by looking at each other’s eyes, the two can tell that they are an unusual match.

We had to hide the gaps as much as possible and explore the opponent’s weaknesses.

‘It’s important to move on to the next step without harm.’

Today will be a very long day.

Even if you defeat Gregory with all your might, if you can’t stand up, it’s Kangseol’s defeat.

I kept thinking about Ajanik falling into the canyon, but for now, it was best to move my body step by step.

Faaaaaaaaaaa!

As I was cutting off the head again, I saw the shadow of the head I had cut off earlier being regenerated.

‘Even playing… it’s annoying.’

We know that shadows have some degree of regenerative ability. But not everyone is like that.

And this is not to some extent. Attaching a severed head in an instant means there is hidden power.

Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss-!

Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!

A shadow that takes its bearings and calmly engages. Even if you could easily suppress one or two shadows, you had to exert effort to defeat a dozen shadows at once.

It’s very inefficient, and that’s probably what Gregory is aiming for.

Wow!

Paaaaaaaaaaaa!

Snowfall deftly aims for the head and blows it away. The shadows also had overwhelming physical abilities compared to regular shadows, but Kangseol’s physical abilities were already higher than that of a swordsman of the same level.

“….”

“….”

Ssssssssssssssssssss!

Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss-!

The same information is just repeated.

Snowfall escaped the siege by giving a sword to the shadows surrounding her, and the shadows narrowed the siege again.

Battles like this happened several times.

“… So far.”

Paaaaang-!

Snowfall suddenly threw a flying sword. Bido flew quickly and targeted a specific shadow.

The understanding is over.

I got the hang of it after cutting myself dozens of times.

There is a center.

This regenerative power always had a shadow supporting the center.

This guy raised his momentum as if he was going to step forward, but strangely, he brought different shadows to the forefront.

And this guy has never been hit by Snowfall’s attack before.

Because it didn’t come close in the first place.

“it’s you.”

Sssssssssssssssssss-!

A few shadows blocked the road ahead.

However, Bido always sticks to the other person.

[Song of the Sword: Uses Destiny.]

[You can raise the blade in the air and use it for attack and defense.] [

At this time, the blade continuously consumes durability and exerts 100% of the weapon’s attack power.]

Yuhwa’s power passed the obstacle and guided Bidou to the target’s eyebrows.

Kwaziik…

As soon as I got into the rain, I suddenly felt a presence behind Snowfall.

‘this!’

Was there a hidden shadow?

No, even if that were the case, I would have definitely noticed.

Then it is Gregory.

‘Xinyu!’

The right hand holding the grief reacted like a thunderbolt.

Paaaaaaaaaaaa!

Ga-ga-ga-ga-gak!

The attack was blocked.

My muscles seemed shocked, but they recovered quickly.

“Hmm… I never thought this would get blocked. “It was clearly a loophole.”

“… It’s insidious.”

“Gregory is a sullen weakling. “I can’t do anything without summons… I thought I had definitely tricked you.”

“Why hasn’t this level of skill been revealed?”

“You just have to kill them every time they reveal themselves. It’s simple. Of course, it’s the same today.”

Patter…

Kangseol shook off the shadow from his sword and looked at the situation. Gregory has been acting completely unexpectedly.

He immediately stepped forward with his sword in hand.

It was a somewhat unusual-looking sword.

It felt as if the armor and sword were connected as one, connecting from his shoulder to the tip of his sword.

“He is a disciple.”

“… what?”

Whoa…

The sword trembled slightly.

[Gregory uses the seventh disciple Seini.]

[Strength increases by the amount of shadows lost during the battle.]

[Adds stats to Gregory equal to the amount of shadows lost during the battle.]

[Only one Shadow Weapon can be used at a time. .]

…

“Isn’t it fascinating? “Is it possible for the human soul to materialize?”

“… It’s absolutely bizarre.”

“It’s not a very different process from training a demonic spirit.”

“Were you sacrificed for your purpose?”

“Sacrificing one’s soul for a cause is noble. than your physical abilities. “I don’t think it makes sense.”

“….”

“I think we both came to the same conclusion. “Of course, only with strong power will obedience follow.”

“It might be an illusion to have a conversation. “I understand that no disciples are accepted after the third time.”

“You mean Mirei. That’s right, I’m not taking any disciples anymore. “It’s just… an excuse.”

“Are you going to attract victims to achieve your goals?”

Gregory chuckled.

“Can’t we do that?”

“I’ll just…kill you.”
