The 31st Piece Turns the Tables

Episode 564

“….”

“Even if there’s something I don’t like….”

Ugh…

Kang Seol gritted his teeth and spoke in a suppressed voice.

“It’s you.”

“… this.”

Paaaaaaaaaaaa!

The snow moved like a beam of light and shed sorrow.

Sreung-!

Ka-ga-ga-ga-ga-!

The energy of the sword that cut down the long table collided with Milan’s staff and prevented it from moving forward.

“Haha… I never thought I would even exercise like this…”

[Using Season: Sea Urchin Slash.]

[Shoots a spinning sword strike.]

[The sword strike deals shadow damage, and the damage to the same target gradually increases. It decreases.]

…

Pabababat-!

Milan also hardened his face as the snowfall continued.

Jiiiing –

A jin was formed under his feet.

The jeans were unusually two-layered and their colors were different.

[The illusion of Milan: Uses useful defensive abilities.] [This

is an ability that is used at the right time.] [

It is a spell with an understanding of magic added.]

[It is a magic with an understanding of magic added.]

[External Activates the appropriate defensive ability in response to the threat.]

…

Suddenly!

The illusion of Milan was cut in half and fell.

Snowfall, which cut down Milan, looked back.

“Have you calmed down a bit? Rather, why on earth is he acting like this?…”

“This is just confirmation. “This is what happened.”

“ah! I never thought you would notice right away…”

Whioooooo…

Before they knew it, the broken table reappeared next to them.

Kang Seol met Milan here and could not avoid that meeting. That alone gave me some insight into the situation.

“You won’t be able to escape. “As long as you intend.”

“… you’re right.”

[Milan uses fantasy season: tailor-made.]

…

Milan uses all its abilities.

Even if he couldn’t handle it well, there was no weapon he couldn’t handle and he understood the origin of everything.

So all of his abilities were difficult to deal with. It is a power that goes beyond versatility and is close to omnipotence.

Based on this understanding, he uses bizarre powers.

Although it is the royal castle of Montra, it is a different place from the royal castle. Perhaps it is Milan’s own territory.

The way to get out of this space was simple. If you defeat him, you will probably be able to escape.

‘But…’

There was no need for that.

Milan’s illusion did not have the ability to hold him for long, and it was also impossible for Snowfall to defeat his illusion and escape this space during that time.

So fighting him was just a waste of energy.

“I’ll say it again, how about we sit down and have a chat? “It was a time I was looking forward to.”

“… sit down.”

Two people sitting across from each other at a long table.

Snowfall looked at Milan.

A look that took away the characteristics of Milan, which was truly his word.

The calm demeanor of a wizard.

It was nothing more and nothing less.

“That’s surprising.”

“… what?”

“Anyway, this is the middle of enemy territory. “Outside, all the life you’ve ever known is dying.”

“….”

“Are you acting calm? If not… have you given up?”

“Give up… maybe.”

“….”

“Don’t get me wrong, the reason I gave up was because I was wasting my time with you. “You will disappear after a certain period of time, so I plan to solve my own questions.”

“That’s a good decision.”

As for Kang Seol, numerous questions arose with the appearance of Milan.

“You… no, what kind of entity is the illusion in front of me right now?”

“Hmm…”

“Is this you after Ascension? Or… is it a remnant left over from before?”

“… it’s the former.”

“Damn it…”

Kang Seol touched his forehead.

The problem was nasty.

The illusions and self-immolations of the 10 legendary horses that Kang Seol had encountered so far were all traces left behind before they attempted to ascend to heaven.

Therefore, I had no idea about their actions after their ascension. However, the illusion of Milan before my eyes was created after the ascension, so it may have been like the current immortal.

And no matter how you think about it, it was difficult to interpret the fact that such a being appeared in front of him on its own accord. Perhaps all outcomes will be negative.

“Haa….”

Nevertheless, it is his current situation that needs to be resolved.

“… Did the immortal send it?”

“Maybe it’s true… maybe it’s not. He said oh now is it her? “She won’t know I’m here meeting you.”

“It’s not this way… Then ask again.”

Snowfall asked the most important question.

This is a question that depends on the future.

“Did you send the immortal?”

If the answer to this question is yes, we could have to deal with monsters like immortals over and over again.

“If you…”

“If you plan to deceive with lies, the conversation is over.”

“….”

“Answer me.”

“I won’t answer.”

Milan also responded with a stern expression.

“I can answer you only to the extent of my goodwill. “Everything will be known when the time comes, and the process will probably be clear.”

“What happened to you… or to you, after your ascension? “What on earth are you…”

“I can’t answer that either.”

“This doesn’t work, that doesn’t work….”

“Unfortunately, it does.”

Kang Seol actually breathed a sigh of relief that the other person avoided answering.

In a situation where I didn’t know if Milan was my friend or my enemy, I couldn’t believe everything he said. It would be better for the other person to avoid answering than to hear a false answer.

And it wasn’t just that Kang Seol had questions about the challengers.

“Ask about Montra.”

“I think I can answer this to some extent. “We’ll all meet up later anyway.”

If Karen and Karuna were together, this question would probably be the first thing they asked.

“Did Montra’s destruction… come about by themselves?”

“It may not be an appropriate expression, but it would be correct to say that he walked towards his own destruction.”

“Is it a mistake?”

“It is neither a mistake nor a failure.”

Intentional destruction.

‘Why on earth…’

According to the testimony of the twin knights, the Montra Empire was a loser that ruled all of Pandea at the time.

These are people who have completely conquered an era. Perhaps putting down the crown would only be possible if it rusted over time.

But why did the rulers of the era choose self-destruction?

“To survive.”

“… what?”

“It is to preserve that power.”

In an instant, Milan’s answer confirmed what Kang Seol had been thinking about all along.

“Era Calendar…”

“….”

“Montra… did not pass down the Era Calendar to anyone. “Oh my…”

Monttra self-destructed.

No, he attempted self-destruction and hid in death.

Waiting for the day of resurrection at the border.

There was no successor and no rival.

Because it was thought to have simply disappeared, the new era was filled with a new era calendar.

Without noticing Montra on the border.

Milan said.

“The power of staying in one era is the era calendar.”

“….”

“No matter what bad karma you accumulate or what achievements you achieve… you cannot escape from that bondage. …until today.”

“Did you fool the times?”

“And now, Montra has been revived and the powers of the two eras have merged to form a great era.”

Is this an immortal plan?

No…

“Did this guy named Jin… plan it?”

“This may or may not be the case.”

It’s the worst.

He would have harmed all the lives that followed him for the sake of the preservation of the era’s calendar.

What a resolute and fearful decision that is.

It is a sin that ordinary humans can never endure.

He was the worst human being and the worst emperor.

“Of all the evils born on Pandea, there is probably no one as talented as him.”

“….”

“I don’t know what you are planning, but is that a wish that must be achieved by annihilating all life?”

“What moves us is not hope. “It is the last ray of hope left.”

“what? What is that…”

“Don’t you know… that the end is coming?”

“….”

The end is coming.

The lives left in the land abandoned by the gods are waiting for the end.

The planet’s final season is coming.

It’s coming soon.

Milan might also know that.

He said with an awkward smile.

“Winter is coming soon. father.”

* * *

Clunk…

Clunk…

Karen and Karuna walked through the corridor, repeatedly breaking up and reuniting. Rajin’s flame was like that too, and the three didn’t really pay attention to it.

They were only curious.

About why all this happened.

It seemed like the whole world was laughing at the three of them.

It seemed like the whole world was trying to deceive them.

The three were clearly not one, but they were loners.

The place where the three finally reunited was the banquet hall at the end of the corridor.

– ha ha ha!

– Your words are so interesting.

– here!

I remember.

Karen and Karuna made their own memories at this banquet hall. There were days when I dressed up and danced, and sometimes I escorted Jin’s side.

I now miss the faces of the imperial nobles who filled this place, their faces shining with desire.

I firmly believed that they had turned into dust, but they came back and burned their lives.

This is the worst reunion.

It would definitely be the worst reunion.

How much more so for them…

Sigh…

Karen looked up at the door through which the emperor entered and exited on the second floor of the banquet hall.

Fuuuuuuu…

The door slowly opened.

It was so painful.

It was very painful for the three of us.

It feels like my heart is being ripped out.

When the door opened, a group of knights appeared.

Karen laughed without realizing it.

“Ugh… Kahahahaha!”

And one of the knights who opened the door and appeared also laughed along with her laughter.

“Puhahahaha! Hahahahahaha!”

As the two laughed, the other knights also laughed. Karuna was no exception.

“Hahaha….”

“Ahahahahaha!”

“Kheehee…heeheeheehee!”

“Hahahahahaha!”

Those who just laugh.

It was like friends who showed up wearing funny clothes and ran into each other in an unexpected place.

– Sir Lane.

Rajin was the only one who didn’t laugh.

“… Is it Razin?”

– Long time no see.

“It’s been a while.”

When Lane stopped laughing, the others also stopped laughing. The change in emotions was dramatic, as if watching a well-written play.

Guardian of the Montra royal family.

Those 10 people gathered in one place.

Karen said something vaguely to the giant with gray hair and beard.

“Rain, today is truly a dream-like day.”

“….”

“I remember this banquet hall. excuse me! There was music playing there, and there again…”

“Karen.”

“Ugh… Ugh… I’m scared… I don’t want to know… So don’t say it.”

She burst into tears in an instant, as if someone had suddenly stabbed her heart.

“I… don’t want to hear it…”

Raine’s gaze shifted from her to Karuna.

Karuna spoke to Rain with an extremely cold expression.

“Lord Lane. … Have you been deceiving us all this time?”

“Well, I guess that’s the case.”

“What happened to Montra that day…”

“I’m probably guessing, so I won’t go into much detail.”

Lane said, shifting his gaze to Karen, who was crying.

“Montra walked to his own destruction. We…”

He looked at his right hand.

“With these hands, I burned the empire.”

“Haha… Hahaha….”

“That’s it.”

The moment Karen heard those words, her pupils became cloudy.

To her, the whole world seemed to be turning gray.

The feeling of having your body cut to pieces thousands of times by those you trusted the most.

I continued to feel the pain that it might be better to die.

“Hak… haha… that’s right… hehe….”

She shed tears.

“Rajin… come to me.”

– … I guess this is all I can do.

“That’s… enough.”

Whioooooo…

Rajin’s flame was sucked into Karen’s mouth.

Her pupils, which had been cloudy, gradually regained their red color.

She played off her natural cheerfulness. Forcibly pushing her body to the edge of sadness.

“Then you’re playing the villain!”

Karuna chuckled.

“That is correct.”

Sreung…

Sreung…

10 swords were pulled out at the same time.

Lane laughed.

“So how do we divide the sides?”

“It’s just fine like this.”

“…Are you okay? “There are a lot of villains.”

“What are you talking about? This is the villain.”

“… what? Hahahahaha!”

He glared at her with gray eyes.

“Do you have what it takes to be a great villain? “The villain must be the strongest here.”

Karen laughed.

“Yes, that’s enough.”

“… If so, fine. “Start.”

Whoop…

She took a deep breath and let out a yell.

“The knight is the sword of the empire! The Emperor’s Shield! “We are heinous villains who have come to destroy you…”

He bit his lip and forced out the last words.

“It’s… you bad… bad… heroes.”
