The 31st Piece Turns the Tables

Episode 528

– Thank you.

do not see with your eyes

I can feel the breath of the living here.

Some are hot and some are cold.

I feel nothing from those who call themselves guardians. They are the ones who gave everything to that white tree.

Poor guys.

No, I am no different from them.

It’s not any different.

Live a life without emotions.

Live a life without expression.

I already understood in childhood that reality is cruel, and now I barely understand the mission hidden behind that cruelty.

Have you ever been loved?

No, have you ever received attention?

Grrrr…

there it is.

Just once.

I definitely felt it.

That someone… is watching.

And what was in that gaze was none other than affection.

You are here now.

I can tell.

I can’t see it, but I can feel it.

Slurp…

I have to get closer.

What does it feel like?

Oh, you don’t know me.

It’s okay, I know.

– thank you.

My hands are warm.

It’s warm after all.

So let me help you.

If I don’t help you, you don’t have time.

– Such… Mobs…

– … I respect your decision.

Hello guardians.

And…

– Thank you.

Nice to meet you.

Thanks to you, I know I’m not alone.

[You inherit the legacy of ‘Mobs’.]

[Inherit the abilities of the dead.]

[Inherit the Troublemaker.]

[You inherit the Troublemaker.]

[Everything you destroy The object is divided into more fragments.]

[The destructive power can be adjusted.]

[The damage of the fragments increases.]

[Calling: The contents of the things that must be recovered are changed.]

…

Heart-warming snowfall .

‘… I knew it.’

Mobs immediately recognized Snowfall, who had watched her from hatching to growth.

She didn’t know if it was a characteristic of the Guardian entity or because she was blind, but she chose to sacrifice herself without hesitation.

Was the warmth of childhood the only and greatest value to Mobs?

‘… It’s bittersweet.’

We didn’t share much affection or spend a long time together, but was that enough for Mobs?

Guardians say:

– The white tree perked up.

Slurp…

The pure white tree trunk instantly grabbed Karen and Karuna’s wrists.

“What…”

Whirling…

The trunk left marks on their wrists and returned to the white tree.

[Acquire the Seal of the White Tree.]

[You can resonate with the White Tree at any time.]

…

‘Seal of the White Tree?’

– Now the white tree will remember your existence.

– Don’t forget, you must one day become one with the white tree.

[It seems like he has made an important choice.]

…

While a very suspicious message was emerging, the Guardian held out his hand, showing his palm.

– Now leave.

Touuuuung-!

“Ugh…”

All three knights, including Kangseol, were blown away by the energy flowing from the guardian.

After straightening my posture and looking around, I found myself in the middle of the Tamuto jungle.

“….”

“….”

“… a dream?”

Everyone is in a dazed state as if they are dreaming. That’s because everything I just experienced in the ruins of the Tamuto Jungle was unfamiliar and difficult.

The seed that created the continent lies dormant in the bodies of the twin knights and must be brought back someday. These are facts that, if you had heard about them from someone yesterday, you would have waved your hands at them as if they were nonsense.

However, Kang Seol, who had glimpsed Karuna’s fragmentary memories, had a faint feeling that all of this may be an exaggeration, but it was close to the truth.

‘Probably two more.’

Karen and Karuna’s expressions were cold.

“What a strange day.”

The Black Knight said, looking into the distance. I had forgotten, but the Black Knight and Snowfall and his party were enemies, and now that they have escaped from the ruins, their relationship has become even more ambiguous.

Sigh…

The situation naturally surrounds the Black Knight.

“What are you going to do by taking me down?”

Karen said with a frown.

“You… are the other half of Karuna!”

“It certainly is. “But now we are taking different paths.”

“Then…”

“If the paths we take are different but become one, does it truly become one?”

“That’s…”

This time, the Black Knight turned his attention to Karuna.

“If one of you and I had to break our will… would that moment be now?”

“….”

“I will do my best to achieve my aspirations. “I guess the same goes for you too.”

Now that the atmosphere was becoming uncertain for a battle, Snowfall asked the Black Knight.

“Why are you lending your strength to the immortals?”

“Siloi is strong. “If I were to choose the strongest person in this land, she would be the only one.”

“….”

Kangseol also agreed with that part.

Of the 10 legendary horses, she is the only one whose whereabouts have been identified, and she is still continuing her dangerous steps with legendary inaction.

“The answer is because she is the only one who can answer my questions.”

“question?”

The Black Knight turned his attention to Karen and Karuna.

“Montra… Empire of the Sun. “Have you ever felt something strange?”

“… what?”

“The mighty empire was destroyed overnight. Not only that, but even the traces disappeared. “No one… no one… remembers the Empire.”

“That’s Liona and the group of usurpers…”

“Then where is that usurper now?”

“That’s…”

Neither Karen nor Karuna could answer this. No, I didn’t want to answer. I’m afraid I’ll be approaching an ominous fact.

“After finding myself, I followed Montra’s traces. “I believe that history will remain everywhere.”

“….”

“No. Erased from the world. Montra disappeared that day. “As if I wanted it to disappear.”

“What are you trying to say?”

“Karen. “Did you see the day the sun went down?”

“What are you talking about!”

“The royal family’s guardians and Jin-eul.”

The day when the ecliptic caught fire.

– Inspired Lane!

– Karen! be careful! There is a traitor among the Guardians!

“Obviously… we encountered it.”

“… and?”

“… I didn’t see it.”

“….”

Three silent knights.

Karen’s hands trembled.

The scent rising from within her.

It smells like doubt.

“No way…”

“Stop.”

Karuna blocked the conversation between the Black Knight and Karen.

“It’s speculation.”

“I think it’s a questionable suspicion.”

“So… what do you want?”

“… I just want to hear an answer. “About having no place to return to.”

“To whom!”

The Black Knight answers.

“jin.”

“… you.”

“See you again then.”

Piiiiit-!

The Black Knight turned his back and quickly widened the distance and left.

Karen joked for no reason.

“Kahaha! “I should have just hit him and killed him.”

“… I agree. “I regret it.”

“Okay… then where should we go now?”

Snowfall looked up at the sky and answered.

“Well… where should we head now?”

“…you’re going, right?”

Kangseol looked at Karen and smiled.

* * *

Two years ago, the central continent of Pandea was shaken by war.

This is because of an incident that coincided with a disaster.

The primal being that dominates the trolls’ blood has awakened.

The Tribal Alliance used that power to quickly expand its power and push out other races and monsters in the central continent.

And now trolls have taken hegemony over the central continent. It is at its strongest in history since the emergence of trolls.

Even more so than when the six original gods existed unharmed and the six great tribes under them were holding on tightly.

If this continues, they may become the owners of the new era.

If only it solved one problem.

“Honestly, I don’t know if this is the right thing to do.”

“So do i.”

“Please stop talking.”

“Zando… Goyan… the dead Magra will wake up immediately when he sees your burnt manners.”

“Tsk tsk… You probably scolded me loudly. But I don’t know if it’s out of politeness.”

“Hmm…”

Zando was a troll who was deeply involved in a series of events that occurred at Yognatun Volcano.

A tribe that worships the fire monkey Purga, the original god of sulfur.

Chief of the Sulfur Skull Tribe.

“Well… I really didn’t know you would make this choice.”

“The choice… has not been made yet. It’s a process of finding my own answer. “That’s why I came all the way to this stone mountain where there was nothing.”

“Kuhk….”

“Are you going to be okay? “We, the elders, are like an island far away, but you are the leader of the tribe.”

“…Whether it is okay or not is up to those who will come here today.”

“… you’re late.”

Whioooooooo…

the wind is blowing.

Everyone’s eyes follow the wind as if possessed by a ghost.

“You came at just the right time.”

Sound remains where the wind passes by.

“… I do.”

Yes.

A warrior of gusts of wind.

The last survivor of the Reed Wind Tribe, where Genshin and the entire tribe were uprooted due to a bad incident.

He was the youngest person to be elected to the Council of Elders, but he was also an unfortunate person who had no choice but to watch the destruction of his tribe.

It was said that he wandered the world after leaving the Presbyterian Church, but he appeared here.

“I know you’re not in a position to do anyone’s errands… Was I mistaken?”

“….”

Hane, who must have been bothered by Zando’s words, tried to reach for the sword at his waist, but smiled back.

“It depends on the errands.”

“… What about the others?”

“Because I walk particularly fast. It will probably arrive soon…”

Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Theo Theothe

Those who approach without hiding their energy.

“… hmmm.”

A group appeared with loud laughter.

“Nice to meet you! Elders! “Everyone isn’t dead yet!”

Ungola of the black thunder.

And his forces.

And next to it is Glacier Maw, which recently formed the largest independent force.

Lastly, its leader, Bron of the Great Sea.

“I’m sorry! “I know you’re busy, but I thought we could at least talk to each other!”

“…Bron.”

There was only one person here who remembered Bron from the past, and most people only heard about his existence through legend.

The same goes for glasses.

“…is it a negotiation?”

“Negotiation is a good word. “Did you also say…?”

“okay.”

“Hmm… Still, I’m dozens of generations older than you… Let’s see… I’m a few generations older than you…”

“Are you here to show off your old body?”

“No, no. ha ha ha! “It’s just…”

Bronn stuck his head in front of Zando’s nose. The look in the eyes of the person who crossed the line of fire froze Jando.

“I’m regretting that if I had known you were this arrogant, I would have supported the side that wanted to kill you.”

“….”

“Well, I’m here to talk about good things! “Let’s skip over the little things.”

He led the meeting.

By far the most talked about topic was the Daewon Shinje.

“The purpose of this Great Wonshin Festival is… to restore the blood god to its integrity, right?”

“….”

“As expected… you were reluctant from the start of the general mobilization order…”

“Weren’t you not even planning on joining the alliance anyway?”

“Um… who is it? “Who led this?”

“….”

“Purganya? Ambika?”

The elders hesitated to answer, but Jando answered calmly.

“Both.”

“….”

“Wonshin is displeased with the diminished power and influence. Originally, we would not have chosen drastic methods that required large-scale sacrifices, such as the general mobilization order and the Great Wonshin Festival, but…”

He explained the reason why things came to this.

“Jamade is all because of him. “Geuamong’s death makes them anxious.”

“ha ha ha! also. After cutting out the three original gods during the festival of blood, you get scared when one of the remaining three is reduced!”

“Stop speaking! Wonshin…”

“…Does everyone agree with this move?”

The council of elders hesitated.

It’s a glass too.

“Do you agree with this pathetic plan to give everything away instead of submitting to those who have had everything since birth?”

“… There is confusion internally as well.”

“Ha… as expected.”

“But… there is no choice but to enforce the Daewonshin system.”

Jando gritted his teeth and said.

“Hey… there’s no way! Genshin’s power is great! Even if we fight back…”

“Even if…?”

“… the majority will die.”

“Aha….”

Hahahaha-!

Ungola smiled and asked back.

“so?”

“… what?”

“What does that mean?”

“Purga and Ambika are alive and well. And after that…”

“So?”

“….”

“You have a long excuse for not fighting.”

“… Could you choose another way?”

“I have grand plans!”

“… Let me listen.”

Bronn grinned.

“Fight!”

“….”

“It’s a great plan, right?”

“… I wasted my time.”

“I don’t care if everyone dies! No, if you stop us, we will all die.”

“….”

“But if you help us…”

The elders waited for Zando’s words.

Jando took a deep breath and said.

“What are the odds?”

“Now we can finally talk. “There is, obviously.”

“Specifically.”

“Be specific… um….”

ugh… the stone

mountain shook.

The area right next to the mountain they stepped on cracked and created a crack.

And the crack let out a sound.

“Zando…”

Jando and the elders retreated in horror.

“No way… this mountain…”

slurp…

the corner of the hill was torn apart to create snow.

What is carved into the mountain is someone’s facial features.

“It’s been a long time…”

“…Jamade!”

Dodddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd~!

Jamard, the one who felled the mountain, stood up.

Grand.

Pressure weighs on my chest.

Suddenly…

Zando fell to his knees as he gained the mighty power of Genshin.

“Ah…ah….”

The blood festival returns.
