The 31st Piece Turns the Tables

Episode 562

[Frannan is a passionate explorer and wizard who pursues reason.]

[Frannan is not affected by the magic of accumulating karma.]

[Frannan tickles providence.]

[Frannan is a demon spirit that he created himself. I can handle it.]

…

for some reason.

Why?

Why did this scruffy old man knock me down?

Grabo staggered to his feet.

The braggart that Frannan had lifted into the air wiped the demon spirit, which had shrunk back to the size of a hand mirror, with a handkerchief.

“Oh, once you use it, you have to clean it. “Otherwise, they won’t like it.”

“….”

“You don’t understand, right? “This situation.”

The old man had his eyes fixed on the braggart and did not even glance at Grabo.

“That’s right, these guys are basically incomprehensible. “I tried to understand, but I just realized it was a waste of time.”

This guy… is strong.

I don’t have any muscles and my magic power isn’t that great.

He’s just a wizard.

But it’s strong.

“I once attended a conference and met a guy who told interesting stories. This guy was talking about the fastest way to turn an animal into a human. “No one was listening to him, but he was strangely interested.”

Haa…

Knock…

Knock…

The braggart shook his body.

【It feels good!】

“Haha guy… Anyway, I still remember what he said. “The fastest way for an animal to one day become a human… is to make it think.”

thought?

What are you talking about?

“He was ignored and couldn’t find a suitable investor. Because radical experiments were necessary and ethical issues inevitably arose. I thought Magic doesn’t develop because of people who are stuck like old wizards. When I reach that age, I will tear down the fence blocking the development of magic in the name of ethics. And now, standing in front of you, I am as old as they were back then.”

An old wizard.

The eyelids have now become as heavy as Mount Tai, covering half of the pupils.

Although his strength was fading, his wisdom was at its peak.

“Now, I sometimes think of that young man back then.”

Sigh…

“That guy back then… was me.”

“Uuuuuu….”

“It’s literally the cry of an animal. The fence has been cleared. “This is the remnants of my dreams from my youth when they became kindling… Enjoy it.”

Paaaaaaaaaaaa!

It moved!

It’s gone!

Grabo’s skin caught Frannan’s position through the tremors of the air.

Baaaaagh-!

Fist clashes with fist and kwajiiiik

!

Frannan shoved Grabo with his shoulder, sending him flying.

Paaaat!

Grabo jumps up and runs towards Frannan.

die!

Whoa!

Die!

Whoa!

Frannan was not hit by Grabo’s fist at all.

“My punch is so fast you won’t be able to dodge it for another three seconds.”

what?

What is he saying now?

“You didn’t answer, so I guess that’s it.”

Piiiiing-!

Frannan’s fist broke the air resistance and struck Grabo’s chin.

Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

… uh?

Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Kwaaaaaaaaaa!

Pangle Pangle.

A view where the sky appears to be upside down.

Grabo realized that he had momentarily lost consciousness. It’s never been like this before.

“Aaaah!”

Nonsense.

Why?

Why can’t I avoid it?

That is.

It’s because of what that man said.

What did you say?

Pout…

A man cleaning his hand mirror.

“My punches are so fast you won’t be able to dodge for five seconds this time.”

Of course.

What does it mean?

“Ugh….”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about. “You didn’t answer, so I guess that’s it.”

This is it.

Incredible power.

Is it because of that hand mirror?

First of all, you have to avoid it…

Piiiiing-!

…can’t avoid it.

Kwajieeeeek-!

Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Grabo, who seemed to be several times, perhaps ten times larger than the old man’s body, was beaten to the ground.

Fuwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah…

Grabo spewed out black blood from his mouth.

However, his eyes did not lose their composure.

“Good eyes. “It’s not the eyes of an animal.”

“Uuuuu….”

“Are you going to call me a coward?”

What do we do?

I don’t know the language of humans other than my master.

I… I

have to answer Grabo.

Yes, Grabo will answer.

But Grabo can’t answer.

So you do it for me.

….

“As expected, it consumes a tremendous amount of magical energy.”

The man said to Grabo, who stood up unsteadily.

“The braggart will not consume any magic power for the next 10 minutes. “You think so too, right?”

No…

no…

no! That’s a lie!

“Uuuuuu….”

“I don’t understand either. He didn’t answer…”

At that time, Frannan’s magical reaction was captured by his senses.

“… Did you answer?”

A negative magical response erupted from Grabo’s body.

A braggart asks a question to the other person and makes them decide whether it is true or false.

If you don’t answer or answer a lie as true, the braggart unleashes the power contained in the question.

This power can do most things that are possible with magical power.

However, if the question is too big of a lie, the resistance called sense comes on.

The opponent becomes confident in his choice based on this resistance. In other words, a lie that is too big will be revealed on its own.

The moment the other person chooses the correct answer, whether true or false, the braggart loses its power. And now Grabo has answered brilliantly.

No, the braggart will continue to consume magical power.

“….”

Psik…

Frannan laughed like a devil.

“Thoughts are stairs, and now you have taken the first step. “Let’s go up like inertia.”

Grabo focused on his inner voice.

What happened?

The hand mirror won’t disappear!

They said it would disappear!

Even if you ask a question, there is no return.

Seuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…

frannon took out the handkerchief from earlier. This too is a demonic spirit.

“I forgot. “I forgot again.”

【huh? Did I forget again?】

“That guy made a braggart’s choice.”

【really? What did you say?】

“‘True’.”

【Really… really?】

Handkerchief glared at Frannan.

Reversal of choice.

There is also a critical point in this.

Frannan nodded with an expressionless face.

I just hope that the reversal does not exceed the critical point.

【Um… That’s right! You forgot! 】 【Really

? It was a bluff! Hahahahaha!】

A creepy conversation between demonic spirits.

At that moment, the braggart’s magical power consumption disappeared.

Knock…

Knock…

Frannan wipes the braggart with a blinker.

“It was a difficult time, but I think it worked out somehow.”

come.

Paaaaaaaaaaaa!

Quasi profit!

Kwajieeeeek!

Frannan and Grabo began a brawl, exchanging blows.

Quasi profit!

Kwagagagagagagag!

it hurts.

Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

It hurts!

sick?

I feel pain?

Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

The two distance themselves after a terrible fight.

“Huu… Huu….”

“Uuuuuu….”

The two were covered in blood.

“Does it hurt? If a magical explosion occurs when hitting, the impact will be greater and the barrier will shake, causing great pain. Niruko of Taurus told me this. Although he is dead now. Anyway, the interesting thing is that this power inflicts greater damage on the target trying to maintain a smooth flow of magic power. For example… like a wizard.”

“Uuuuuu….”

Wizard?

What are you talking about?

“If you felt pain, it means that something inside you is awakening. “Maybe you woke him up.”

I woke you up?

who?

At that time, the owner’s voice seeped into Grabo’s mind.

– Grabo I would have told you not to be late.

no.

I have to go.

We need to get out of here.

Sigh…

Grabo bulged his muscles.

Can I kill it?

It’s impossible to kill this man now.

You have to run away.

Sigh…

I felt strength in my thighs.

Frannan noticed this and took out a coin.

Sigh…

“You can’t try to run away. Wake up you lazy bastard.”

【What… Don’t wake me up…】

“He’s trying to be diligent. “He’s too lazy to run away.”

【Okay… let’s live lazily. Running away is a hassle.】

Whioooooooo…

The lazy one spread his influence in the surrounding space. A power of a different nature from ordinary magic.

Battles using demonic spirits are a world built by Frannan.

“This guy is all good, but the conditions are too critical. “The trigger condition for being lazy is that you have to tell the other person your biggest secret that you don’t want to tell.”

“Ugh….”

“Zodiac’s tactical weapon, Thunder, will hit this place in a moment. Perhaps this ridge will turn into a terrible magical distortion terrain beyond the inferno, and no one will be able to cross it. Of course you will burn to death too. My role is to keep you here until then. “The specified coordinates are not in space.”

Sigh…

Frannan’s thumb pointed at him.

“grow. So, if you don’t remove my magic signal now, you will never be able to cross the ridge. “Of course, there is also an army of trash that will come after you.”

must be killed

This man.

You have to kill me here and now.

“Aaaah!”

“Okay, let’s continue.”

Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa8551114588 there?

Kwahiah ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Blood splatters and flesh falls off.

The fight between the old wizard and the giant will definitely come to an end someday.

Kwaaaaaaaa!

Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

However, the reason the end came was not because someone fell.

Grabo realized that.

You have to go to the owner.

Quaaaaaaaaaaa!

How can I kill this man? Even if you hit it, it won’t die.

Because…

Frannan’s face was reflected in the pupil.

Frannan’s face, reflected in the mirror called Grabo’s eye, had a smile on his face.

He is already dead.

A person prepared to die.

Fighting with a corpse.

So you can’t kill it.

What should I do?

How can I move beyond the ridge?

‘Okay… what should I do…’

Grabo couldn’t control his body for this moment.

I ended up thinking about it.

I have to think about it.

It awakened the sleeping wizard within him. However, the wizard has also long been immersed in the black evil called Grabo.

Together, they come up with a way to kill the old wizard.

“Aaaaaah!”

Grabo now steps into magic.

Into the memories of the old wizard.

[enlightenment! Grabo awakens a new ability.]

[Power: Overwhelming power has a huge impact on enlightenment.]

[Grabo uses fantasy season: overwhelming magic.]

…

Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup There there there there has been

a huge impact . ‘s body turned blue.

The enormous magical power turned his body into a powerful storm. This monster has now even begun to destroy magic.

“…You climbed the stairs.”

Frannan smiled brightly.

Kwajijijijijijijijijijik-!

His body was crushed by the magical power from Grabo’s hands, and the fragments that were once body parts were scattered.

‘I have to go… I have to go now…’

Whioooooooooooo…

Frannan’s body exploded and the artificial eye in the eyepatch popped out.

The artificial eye shattered and black smoke appeared. It formed a shape and wrapped around Grabo’s body.

[Frannan uses Illusion Season: Excessive Curiosity.]

[Frannan is a demon spirit.]

[Frannan is the first demon spirit that can determine its power immediately after birth.]

…

In the voice of a demon spirit , He whispers in Labo’s ear.

【You cannot cross the ridge. You will burn to death here.]

Everything was decided with Frannan’s one word.

[Frannan chose stubbornness.]

[Stubbornness is selfish.]

[Everything is as I wish!]

…

A demonic spirit that superimposes my thoughts on the other person’s thoughts. Frannan, who had become a terrible demon spirit and stubborn person, blocked Grabo.

With the ridge in front of him, Grabo could not move even a single step.

Frannan turned beasts into humans.

The beast had to think desperately to survive and that awakened its ego.

And that ego crushed Frannan. However, this also did not deviate from his prediction.

People who have come to think cannot resist stubbornness. From the moment Grabo met Frannan here, he could never cross the ridge.

Everything is as he intended.

But something happened that Frannan could not have predicted.

“Ah…”

A sound came from Grabo’s faltering body. The guy said.

“Wizard… please help me… it’s not Grabo… it’s Syndio.”

“….”

“I don’t want to die… I’ll help you… Please let me go.”

Is it true or false?

Is it truth or a lie?

Faced with a choice to make, Frannan became conflicted.

The words were clearly spoken in a woman’s voice… in neat sentences.

Frannan spoke to gather his thoughts.

[Before becoming an official wizard, a wizard makes a pledge to his teacher that he will not have any faith. A pledge to follow the truth and protect reason.】

“Wizard…”

【A wizard believes only when necessary.】

He is unwavering.

A scale wizard who protects order.

The path he lived was resolute.

【I’m stopping you here.】

What is needed to protect the ridge is reason, not faith.

Grabo’s crying-like words were spat out again. This time it was another woman’s voice.

“… You’re quite the wizard.”

【That was the correct answer.】

“Goodbye Sindio.”

Sindio screamed.

“Immortal! “I curse you… I curse you…”

She woke up and remembered what felt like yesterday.

– Jian.

– Sindio It’s cold. Cover mine here too.

– Are you worried about me?

– Don’t wizards have to worry? I didn’t know.

– … Since it was given to me, I will cover it.

– ha ha ha!

– You are not mistaken, are you?

– Is it an illusion? I have no idea what you’re talking about. What about me?

– … That’s Okay.

A man and woman laughing.

Bonfire conversation.

Perhaps that day was the happiest moment?

It was as clear as a dot in my memory.

– Jian Can you see there?

– Oh, I’m watching.

– It’s a shooting star! meteor!

– No one born in the North dies without seeing a meteor shower.

– Still… it’s important to watch it together.

– … That’s right. As expected… it’s beautiful.

There is also a meteor shower in the sky here.

The largest meteor, the Thunderbolt, flew in the distance to destroy Montra’s defensive wall, followed by smaller meteors, the Thunder, following it.

And then one meteor broke off and shot towards the ridge.

“Ahh… ah….”

Sindio, in Grabo’s body, shed a huge amount of tears from his big eyes.

– Shin… Dio I hope you… reach peace….

“Ah… Jian… It’s Yoosung. Can you see it there too? “It’s a shooting star!”

A voice filled with tears.

Frannan says:

【… It may not have been the correct answer.】

What is the correct answer?

What was the correct answer?

No, there may not have been an answer from the beginning.

【… I was not going to be a wizard.】

“Glittering … Thank

you

… ”

“For giving me a shooting star.”

A meteor left footprints on the ridge.

After receiving a shooting star as a gift, she finally reaches peace.

Kwahiah ah ah ahhhhhhhhhhh!
