The 31st Piece Turns the Tables

Episode 522

Whioooooo…

The shadows that had covered the surroundings in darkness were slowly drawn into Snowfall’s body.

“Haa… haa….”

The cold sweat seemed to have dried and disappeared, leaving only a feeling of emptiness.

Kangseol frowned as he held the glass bottle rolling on the floor in his hand.

At a time when he was on the verge of losing his original blood, he tried to avoid a dangerous situation as much as possible, but the situation was as if to make matters worse.

‘But fortunately… there were no major problems.’

Was it the will of the originator or the will of the beginning that was contained in the transparent liquid?

“Well… Anyway.”

Even now, it feels like the shadow is wriggling and digesting the beginning.

Kang Seol confirmed the changes through the message.

[Power: The King of Shadows rises to a higher level.]

[Power: The King of Shadows takes over the shadow of origin.]

[Now the Snowman’s shadow is smarter.]

[Now the Snowman’s shadow is It can become more flexible and harder.]

[The Snowman’s shadow now grows faster.] [

The Snowman’s shadow can now exert its influence over a wider range than before.]

[The Snowman’s shadow can now extend beyond himself .] It can affect the shadow of a low-level opponent.]

…

First, a bunch of messages came to mind.

‘So this shadow has become much stronger than before?’

The shadow of snowfall was both hard armor and a sharp spear to him.

What I realize every time I continue to reach a higher level than before is that the fundamentals are thoroughly important in the fight against the strong.

Such as fast swordsmanship movements.

Snowfall’s shadow is an entity that effectively assists with these basic aspects, so strengthening the shadow was quite effective.

[The beginning gives life to the snowman’s shadow.]

[The shadow given life restores the body at a rapid rate, and the recovery speed and recovery speed is proportional to the amount of shadow stored in the shadow space.] [The beginning gives life to the shadow space

. Expand greatly.]

…

‘… Huh?’

Snowfall begins to read the contents of the message again carefully.

Surprisingly, the content was that the shadow can now take over some of the roles played by the original blood.

Sigh…

I see a wound on my palm.

Whioooooo…

In an instant, a shadow rushes in and sutures the wound.

“Haha….”

Only a few shadows were used.

Even that filled up again in an instant.

One of the problems that the Originating Blood previously had was its rapid exhaustion in proportion to its strong recovery.

The problem is that as recovery continues, fatigue accumulates in the body, making the fight more difficult and leading to exhaustion.

For Snowfall, the shadows stored in the shadow space did not have much of an effect on the battle, so it could clearly be seen as an improvement over before.

‘The question is, how far can one’s recovery go?…’

The vitality felt was actually stronger than the original blood that had previously flowed through the body.

This means that the shadow can now take over the role previously played by the original blood.

Sigh –

Hwiooooh…

Sigh –

Hwiooooh…

The process of recovery is fascinating, so Kang Seol draws his palm over and over again. Now I could only see that I had truly escaped the human realm.

– Brother, why are you being so scary?

– Say it in words…

– Hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee…

– (｡ ́ ︿ ̀｡) I’m scared ㅠㅠ

The effect that the vitality of the beginning had on the shadow also affected other abilities.

[Passive: The ability of Sticky Darkness is changed.]

[Passive: Sticky Darkness maintains its effect.]

[Passive: Creatures created with Sticky Darkness become stronger than before.]

[Passive: Abilities affected by Sticky Darkness . are strengthened.]

[Season: Pure shadow replaces the Dark Life’s body.]

[Season: Shadow Life is ready to advance to a higher level.]

[Season: The number of the Crow Army increases, and the Raven Soldier’s abilities increase. increases.]

…

The shadow of the beginning also affected creation. Now, Kang Seol has quite a few abilities that utilize creatures, and it’s good to see that those abilities have become stronger overall.

– The Initiator… A guy with great satiety.

– The taste is very stable…

Shoot…

shoot…

It rained on tetras.

No, it rained not only in Tetra but in the entire West.

“… Is it that time?”

The time when the sky cries.

A phenomenon that occurs only in the western part of Pandea, a very long rainy season occurs every year on the way from spring to summer.

Snowfall was strong enough to shake off the moisture that had soaked into my clothes in an instant without catching a cold even when it rained, but I decided to use an umbrella for this period.

“Let’s take a short break!”

“Okay, let’s avoid the rain first.”

Tetra’s rebuilding continues even if it rains. No, it has no choice but to continue in the first place.

This rain won’t stop easily, and if rebuilding is stopped during that period, it will take a very long time for the tetras to find themselves.

Shoot…

Kangseol gave the twin knights clothes to wear during the rainy season.

Fortunately, Tetra’s stores remained intact, so it was easy to find clothes that fit.

The three of them stood side by side with umbrellas and quietly looked at Tetra.

I already said hello to Chameli at dawn. She was sad that Kang Seol was leaving, but she couldn’t stop him.

Because Kang Seol is that kind of person.

A person who cannot stay in one place for a long time.

She promised that whenever Snowfall came to Baranoa, she would welcome him with hospitality.

‘… Will I come again?’

Shoot…

Snowfall was lost in thought as she looked at the rain-soaked city.

Memories of places I had passed by until now slowly came to mind.

Places that are nostalgic but can never be returned to.

That’s how big Pandea was, and that’s how clear Snowfall’s path was.

‘Until I gather all the remaining horses’ resources…’

And I don’t know what Immortal’s plan is, but since it’s clear that it will definitely lead to something bad…

no, I have to stop her.

Now I have met most of them except for the horses that challenged me to ascend to heaven.

‘There are… four left.’

Four horses, including the reclusive Orgo.

They were all not far away.

“…Are you leaving?”

Kiiing –

Griz approaches Kangseol with Sophia.

Instead of answering, Kang Seol grinned.

“… I’m sorry. All my friends are leaving me. “It’s probably because the charm of this grease is unsightly.”

Griz said hesitantly.

“Milan was truly… a great person.”

“…Did you?”

“yes. He didn’t know anything, he was brave… and enterprising. “This time too, I feel his greatness.”

As Snowfall tilted her head, Grizz shook her hand.

“For giving me a new friend. That alone solved all the problems, right? “Milan is the smartest person in the world.”

We hold hands and say goodbye.

“If you have any problems at any time, please let me know. “I will consider helping you even if I am very busy.”

“… Are you from Goryeo?”

“Isn’t that enough?”

“… That’s enough.”

A message came to mind saying that Sophia and Grizz had been welcomed as helpers.

Click…

Griz presents a brooch to Kangseol.

“With this, I can know where you are no matter where you are.”

“I’m a little reluctant…”

“Be quiet! Just in case, would you like some Milano? All you have to do is tell it without saying anything…”

“I decline. “I hope you are satisfied with me.”

“Tch…”

This concludes the matter with Grizz.

Okay, now

all that’s left is… “Are you done with your business?”

“… Mael.”

“ha ha ha! Who would have guessed that we would come together again like this?”

Mael chuckled and patted Snowfall’s back.

Then he spoke quite seriously.

“…Two years ago, the world changed overnight.”

“….”

“Snowman… Ah, did I ask you to call me Snowfall now? … I think he might know something about this…”

Snowfall looked at Mael with wary eyes.

The person talking to him now is Mael, the young shaman who went through hardships together a long time ago, or is he an elder from the Relic Society?

“… I know.”

“Oh oh!”

Mael takes out a thick book from his arms and quickly flips through the bookmarks. He asks a question brightly while holding a writing instrument with a feather.

“Can you tell me? I wonder! “There is a gap in the history of this Mael.”

Frayed cover.

The text on the cover was written crookedly.

Mael is just curious about the world.

Blood…

he was the same.

“Where should I start talking…”

Shoot…

Mael listens to the story of the world along with the sound of rain. The story was truly mysterious.

“It was suspicious that Bronn from Glaciermaw came back alive one day. After all… it had something to do with you.”

A story from Mansang Library.

Collapse of the Federation due to a new drug market.

An alliance of three major tribes in an ungoverned area.

Dangerous beings who joined the council.

Descendants of ancient dwarves.

“Now wait… Are you a descendant of Sirion? “That’s amazing!”

Mael spits about this, even putting a separate footnote on it.

“Then…”

Mael asked with a serious expression.

“How did it end?”

“….”

“The reason the world has changed like this… is there, right?”

Snowfall mentioned the existence of immortality. And how the war of the times ended.

“… Is that so…”

“… Mael?”

Mael’s reaction was somewhat strange.

“Now I understand. “His actions and the reason he met you here.”

“… What do you mean?”

“I have something to tell you. Do you know what the biggest thing that happened two years before the snowfall was?”

Changes in Pandea that occurred after the Era War. Speaking of the biggest event among them….

“Gorgogia.”

“… you’re right. According to records, it is a forgotten land that Guardian Tancrid once mentioned in passing. The so-called land of the first dragon.”

“….”

“They say there is a route to that land in the westernmost waters… but no survivors have been found.”

“Hmm…”

The conversation with Mael wasn’t bad.

When Kang-seol gave him information that no one else would hear, he also gave Kang-seol the information he needed.

“snowfall. “There are people looking for you, right?”

His insight is unrivaled.

“… How?”

“I can’t see Jamard. And Ur too.”

“….”

“Hmm… maybe it has something to do with you.”

“… That thing?”

“It happened recently. “It happened in the western waters.”

Mael spoke thoughtfully.

“A trading ship was rescued after being caught in a storm and drifting in the Western Sea. The crew told strange stories.”

“What are you talking about?”

“They say the black dragon flew towards the western land.”

“….”

Black dragon.

Now that Azanic is dead, there is only one black dragon left on Pandea.

“… Tancia.”

“As expected, you know the identity of the dragon.”

“I am Tancrid’s child.”

“Fight with you until the end?”

Nod…

“Tansia’s whereabouts….”

“That’s the end. This side is also looking for a way to enter Gorgozia, but the black dragon ah… Unless you contact Tansia and ask….”

Gorgozia, the land of the first dragon.

There was a high probability that Tansia was in the land that was said to contain secrets.

‘… You’re safe.’

It’s okay if you’re alive.

We will meet someday.

“There is no news from Ur…”

At that time, Mael says something that will get Kang Seol’s attention.

“Jammard has some solid information.”

“… Is that really true?”

“Haha… it’s strange not knowing. “The reason the tribal federation has been in disarray recently is also related to this.”

he says

“The tribal federation’s general mobilization order has been issued. The largest Genshin Festival ever was scheduled… Jamard, he…”

The general meeting of the Troll Tribal Federation that Jamard had heard about over and over again.

“We’ll be heading there that day. Definitely.”
