31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 102)
Chao's urgent voice shattered the peace in front of the campfire..
“Hurry! what are you doing?”
“If a pursuer comes, shouldn't you just fight instead of running away??”
Since Kang Seol didn't know what she was being chased by, she thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to witness their identity and the power they had through this conflict..
‘Since you have to go on an adventure anyway, there is no harm in accumulating information in advance..’
Kang Seol was confident..
As many as 3 legendary level summons.
In addition, due to various reasons, I thought that I could not be defeated by anyone with my current military force..
That idea was further confirmed by the complete destruction of the Fire Temple..
he couldn't be defeated.
That was a cool analysis..
‘Moreover, even if it's dangerous, it's okay if I get rid of it..’
It didn't make sense that Snowfall's powerful summons couldn't even give him time to escape..
Therefore, he took this into consideration when speaking to Chao..
But what came back was Chao's bewildered expression and her action of forcing Kang Seol to stand up..
“That's stupid! Are you going to die here? The chaser is a shadow hunter!”
“shadow hunter?”
shadow hunter.
It was a group that had memories of hearing about snowfall..
In the eternal world of Pandea, players had many basic classes to choose from, but there were also many more hidden classes..
And, in addition to visible differences such as abilities and abilities, there were other invisible differences between the jobs..
For example, the fact that for each profession there are groups that are close or conflicting in terms of worldview, such as friendly relationships or conflicting relationships..
The Inquisitor had a very close relationship with the Church, but was in constant conflict with the fanatics, and the Wizard had a bad relationship with the mechanical engineers..
Like this, there were many conflicts in the profession, and Shadow Summoner was no exception..
‘If you are a shadow hunter….’
A group that hates shadows, especially shadow summoners..
According to Pandea's sentiments, pulling out the shadows of corpses and using them as servants was itself considered a vicious witchcraft..
Most people just look down on them, but shadow hunters go out of their way to hunt shadow summoners..
This was all Kang Seol knew..
‘Because I never collided.’
So, Kang Seol did not know what shadow hunters meant to shadow summoners..
Is that why?.
Chao's hyper-vigilant reaction raised a sense of foreboding from the snowfall..
‘This… It's dangerous..’
Chao shouted to Jiang Seol..
“If you understand, run now! Go west! See you there! As long as they both survive safely.….”
The snowfall ran without delay..
Soon, someone was heard shouting from afar..
“The witch runs away! catch it!”
This meant that the pursuer was quite close, so Snow did not stop running without even looking back..
pot-!
His excessively high stats now make him look less like a caster..
Sasak…
pot!
The way he casually made his way through the bushes seemed like a job based on agility. No one would look at him now and think he was a summoner..
Kang Seol was a person who did what he had to do..
I told you to run, so I ran..
I didn't stop walking until I was out of breath..
“Huh... omg….”
His physical strength was now greater than that of most warriors or knights, so the fact that he was panting meant that he had already covered a considerable distance..
“ha… ha… everyone….”
Hehehe…
The night wind was strong.
As the cold air entered his lungs, he came to his senses and continued speaking..
“Huh... omg… Where has everyone gone??”
Jamard and the Twin Knights.
They started running together after talking and disappeared after a while..
Have we returned to the shadow space?.
Kang Seol felt puzzled about their behavior as they returned without telling him..
purr…
Wow! keung!
“Damn it.”
The chase was continuing..
The sound of that hunting dog has been chasing me since a while ago..
Even if you think you've been left out, it catches up to you after a while..
The pursuit was so persistent that I suspected it might be magic..
‘I guess I'll have to shake it off.’
Since the summons are fine, you should be able to get rid of the hounds quickly..
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
Snowfall gathered strength in her hands as she ran..
The dark energy immediately condensed into his hand and headed toward the shadow space..
But what it brought was not Karuna, Karen, or Jamad, but only despairing news..
[In the area of influence where there is no light.]
[Shadow summoning is not possible.]
“…what?”
- That's stupid! Are you going to die here? The chaser is a shadow hunter!
Why Chao issued an urgent warning.
- This adventure is a dangerous adventure.
Why this adventure wasn't an easy one.
A lot of that was implied in the sentence that just came to mind..
“Hehehe… Why don't you keep running away??”
Only the pursuer's voice could be heard from afar..
A warning light turned on on Snowfall's head..
‘This… Dangerous.’
Snowfall did not hesitate.
If the speed wasn't enough to outrun the chase, faster was enough..
Snowfall kicked the heel of her left foot with her right foot..
pot-!
pop-!
[Crisis escape is activated.]
[Movement speed increases significantly for a short period of time..]
The boots of a lifetime were created for moments like this..
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-!
The snowfall moved through the forest like an arrow, several times faster than before..
His speed was so great that all the monsters he encountered along the way were unable to react to the speed of the snowfall..
“ha… ha….”
Suddenly, an old memory came to mind..
I remember when I first fell to Pandea before I got Karuna..
I broke through the ruins with nothing but my bare body, my wits, and the knowledge of Pandea..
“Phew… after….”
And I got a powerful summon.
The victory continued.
Powerful summons continued to come into his arms and they continued to grow stronger..
But looking at it like this, it was like standing still..
He had powerful summons, but without them he was just as weak as before..
‘With just the shadow hand... I can't deal with it.’
To even consider going head-to-head with the Shadow Hunters like this was nothing short of crazy..
I just keep running.
Now, it seemed like no saliva was coming out of his mouth. Only gasping breaths escaped from my dry mouth..
and.
Grrrr… keung!
also.
I heard that damn hunting dog sound again..
“Hehehe… Kid, you're good. This is my first time seeing you, so I'll hunt you down later. Do you know where the woman you were with went to? Yeah, I mean Mirei..”
For a moment, Snow could not believe her ears..
‘Mirei? It's Mirei?’
The name of the woman who was with Kang Seol was Chao. But the hunter is looking for ‘Miray’..
Even in the confusing situation, Kang Seol felt that the name Mirei was somehow unfamiliar..
‘Mirei! Mirei was excommunicated!’
Woman driven out of Gregory's territory.
She was not one of Gregory's many disciples. She was one of Gregory's three favorite students..
‘Gregory's third disciple Mirei!’
Kang Seol unconsciously cast his gaze in the direction where the name Mirei was mentioned..
Soon, the insight eye caught the opponent and read the information..
[Blind Malachus]
Rank: Hero
estimated level : 20~24
Malachus hunts shadowcallers.
He is convinced that ministering to the shadows is wrong, and this has to do with the misfortune he experienced as a child..
He is accompanied by his trusty hunting dog, Dir..
Malachus and Dir are a nightmare for shadow summoners..
Basic Abilities: [Footprint Tracking 1], [Wild Vision 1], [Disabling Shot 2], [Real Pain 1], [Nocturnal 2]
Special Abilities: [Animal Sense 2], [Where there is no light 3]
‘A place without light, it was because of that.’
Wow! keung!
He found the only thing he could do in a chaotic situation..
After all, it's just running.
“Kid, give up. You will only die more painfully. Quietly surrender your head to this Malachus..”
Kang Seol didn’t react much to him and ran away. Even if you try hard to talk, it won't save you, so it will only drain your strength..
At that time, Kangseol felt a cold energy and turned around..
pot-!
“Ugh….”
Something grazed my earlobe..
It seemed like it was an arrow..
[Affected by Malachus' Disabling Shot.]
[Ring of Grace activates.]
[Deflects the Curse of Weakness.]
“Hoo! Did you have that kind of talent? Still, there is no next time.”
Crrrrr…
“Dir, bite off his neck..”
keung!
keung!
A large wild boar, or rather a black hunting dog the size of a wild boar, jumped out of the darkness..
‘this time… It must be difficult.’
I wasn't giving up, but it seemed like it would be difficult to block the attack without taking any damage. Even if we were attacked here, we should never give up our necks..
With a solemn heart, Snowfall defended her neck with one arm as Dir charged at her..
In the worst case scenario, prepare to lose an arm..
It was then.
Kwaaaaang-!
Someone quickly came to Snowfall's side and kicked Dir..
Kieeeenn… Kieeeng…
“Ugh… As expected, Mirei. You've been looking for it for a while.”
“ah… I'm sick of it, I'm sick of it. I'm tired of this popularity. But you can't hang around like this. I'm not your type.”
“Tsk tsk tsk tsk, kid. Mirei saved you..”
“Are you done by now? There is still no romance, Marcus..”
“Did you think you could hide your whole life, Mirei??”
Chao No, the woman whose identity is no longer certain saved Kang Seol..
“Ciao, did you fool me??”
“Haha, sorry. But I didn't deceive you on purpose. It was you who came and begged me in the first place..”
“Mirei… If you're Mirei, aren't you Gregory's third disciple??”
“Yes, you know me well. Then you know that I was excommunicated by him..”
“yes.”
“haha… What are you going to do, Malachus? Thanks to you, my identity has become clear. The sense of mystery has evaporated.”
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-
Instead of answering, Malachus sent an arrow..
Pak-!
And Mirei caught the arrow without any hesitation..
“This doesn't work.”
Snowfall was both impressed and puzzled..
‘It's a summoner?’
A summoner who catches an arrow fired by a hunter with his bare hands. something was strange.
“Look back at yourself, Mirei. What you look like... Other hunters will arrive here now..”
“Oh my, be scared. But what? I wasn't playing either.?”
“what?”
Taaak-!
Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss For…
She snapped her fingers and suddenly a black mist rose..
[Mirei uses black fog.]
“this… Black fog! Were there still any left? I knew I'd miss it!”
“Haha, you'll miss it. Anyway, unless I get close, the smell and sound will disappear..”
“Damn it!”
Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss For…
Thanks to this, even the snowfall was able to disappear into the black fog..
Mirei put his index finger to his lips to signal to be quiet and then carefully left the scene..
However, Malachus, who had just missed Mirei, suddenly spoke to Snowfall, who was hiding in the fog..
“Hey, kid. She's being fooled by that witch.”
I knew about Snowfall, so I wanted to yell at them to shut up, but if I did that, the black fog would be useless, so I didn't react and just walked..
“The witch is deceiving you! How dare you, a human! They are deceiving humans!”
What on earth does this mean?.
Mirei's complexion hardened..
“She's already dead! Mirei is definitely dead! I, I saw my arrow pierce her heart.!”
Snowfall didn't understand what kind of nonsense Malachus was talking about, but when he saw Mirei's hand holding him gaining strength, he felt something..
‘body… black?’
Her hands were blacker than those of about a dozen people, and her neck, glimpsed through the hood, was pitch black..
Malachus shouted..
“She is a shadow! It's already dead!”
