31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 153)
Frozen…
A crow with hazel eyes burst out..
‘Mmm, I can last another day now?’
His creation is a crow that shares its master's vision.
Now, creating a creature was possible with only a split second of time, but using it was another matter..
‘First of all, as the number of crows increases, vision becomes a bit blurry... I can't hear well.’
Perhaps because the ability to hear sounds was a recently added ability, its effectiveness was extremely poor..
It was possible to operate several crows at this level if all you wanted to do was maintain visibility, but when trying to eavesdrop, it was difficult to maintain even a single crow..
And, another problem.
Frozen…
“Ugh….”
When the creature exploded while I was concentrating, a shock wave was sent all the way to Kangseol. In a way, this was natural.
What a creature needed to move was the creator's consciousness or reason, and if the creature that received it suddenly exploded, it would inevitably have repercussions on the creator as well..
‘Well, anyway, this is a good level..’
Snowfall is the kind of person who is not satisfied with anything, but just raising the level of creation to this level in a short period of time was actually amazing..
smart.
“Snowman. I received word from Frannan that preparations are complete..”
“I'm going out.”
I profit…
Snowfall followed the pilgrims..
Perhaps because they had been informed in advance that a ceremony would be held, the branch was quiet..
It's good…
When I held the large door on both sides and opened it, a very large space appeared..
“So you came.”
“yes.”
“Come this way, and take out that demon too..”
A few pilgrims, Chameli, Marcon, and Frannan were with them, looking out for the surroundings..
Sigh.
Snowfall laid bottled grief in their midst.
【How stupid! you are all idiots!】
“like… What is stupid??”
【anyway! I have absolutely no intention of cooperating! 'Cause I've never been like that before!】
“Why have we never cooperated??”
【That's right, I used it all!】
“also?”
【That's right, because I'm a demon!】
Frannan said.
“You devil, you foolish devil. That can't be the answer. Should I tell you the real reason??”
【Do not say! Do not say!】
“You didn't learn. Cooperating with others and knowing that it is better.”
【no!】
“I'm going to teach you that from now on, so why don't you follow me quietly?.”
Frannan shook his head and let go of his grief..
Marcon stepped forward and said.
“I am still against it. It is still too dangerous for a mere human to handle demonic spirits.!”
“That's your opinion.”
“…Are you sure??”
“me?”
“Yes, I would like to ask Snowman if you are sure that it is possible to subdue demons through this ritual..”
“That's right….”
Frannan turned his gaze to Kang Seol. Snowfall received the attention without notice..
Suddenly, he wondered if this was how he felt when Veil took him away a long time ago..
‘No, it's different from back then..’
Frannan, who was young at the time, was desperate, and Bale may have considered that more important than his potential. Really, maybe we weren't sure if Frannan would make it big..
The situation then and the situation now are different..
Dealing with demonic spirits? It's so rare that it's hard to find a precedent..
So is it impossible? That's not it again.
There are so many variables that can be predicted, but in theory it was possible..
And, the young man in front of him now had the ability to control those variables..
‘This is a guy who learned the secrets of creation in just one night, even if it was just baby steps. If this guy can't do it, the others probably can't either..’
Frannan nodded..
“I'm sure. So let's do our job properly.”
“…All right.”
Frannan approached Kang Seol..
“Hey, get on your knees. 'Cause you're gonna lose consciousness soon.”
“…What should I do after this??”
I had already heard from Karen how the Jinju succession ceremony was held..
But at the same time, I asked the question because I had to suppress my grief..
“Consciousness and sorrow will join you in the inheritance of this pearl. Have you ever learned something through the power of creation? Imagining and dreaming, then simplifying and bringing it out..”
“…yes.”
“Jinju's succession can be seen to be the same way... The problem is that guy, and it's surprisingly simple. It's the same way to charm people..”
“People… How to bewitch?”
“Yes, we'll probably hit and fight as soon as we go in. This guy's mental world is his domain, so he will desperately harass you. You have to fight against him and take out as much of his strength as possible..”
“and?”
“Set a trap. Do you know when those who are being tortured are most likely to reveal their secrets??”
“I do not know.”
Frannan grinned..
“That's when the torture suddenly stopped. That's when most people's hearts break.”
“yes?”
“Anyway, let’s go inside and think carefully about the meaning. My magic will assist you, so take care of the rest inside. Okay, let's begin now..”
Clap. Cheolkeong-!
Marcon placed chains slathered in holy oil around him..
“It will prevent evil spirits from spreading. Also, you won't be able to notice it from the outside..”
“haha… Then, when I'm ready, it'll begin. where….”
Taaak-!
Frannan snapped his fingers..
Jiiiiiiing…
A magic circle unfolded with snowfall, grief, and pearls in the center. The magic circle was incredibly gorgeous even at first glance..
“If you fail, don't worry, I'll kill you cleanly..”
“please.”
“haha….”
Wow!-!
Karen and Karuna muttered an unknown spell..
Crash… Clap…
The shape of the pearl began to change.
Then it turned into a large wrapping cloth and tried to swallow the snowfall in one bite..
Then, Frannan clapped his hands..
Wow-!
[Flanni Season: Uses a large-scale amplification magic circle.]
[All pre-installed magic circles are activated in a short period of time..]
Jijijik… crackling…
The wrapping cloth remained still and expanded even further..
“Awesome….”
Frannan with veins on his forehead.
Mysterious characters emerged from the magic circle and began to be engraved on the snow, heartbreak, and pearls..
“Ugh… So far!”
Whirly Whirly-!
When Frannan released his strength, Jinju finished what he had originally set out to do..
[The pearl's test begins.]
[Snowman's succession ceremony is held..]
Snowfall and sorrow disappeared into pearls.
“Phew… I wonder if the guy that comes out is an abomination, a holy relic, or something else... I guess I'll just have to watch for now..”
* * *
In the world, there were things that were determined from the moment we were born..
Ships will float on the water, birds will fly in the sky.
They were given that fate from birth..
Then, the newly born black being here is?
‘I am….’
will wander.
Forever, a world stained with blood and corpses.
“Ugh… Oh my gosh….”
I saw a knight dying unjustly before my eyes..
Feel sorry for me, this is a battlefield and he lost..
Along with that, tattered corpses were all around him..
He will lose his life on the battlefield.
Contrary to the black being.
‘I am… Because I was born here.’
A being stained with many people’s resentment and regret. The embodiment of evil born from their grievances..
that was him.
There was no love, no hope, no faith here..
There was only death and screaming..
“Shall I help you??”
“Cough….”
“Accept me, I can help you.”
“who….”
“it's me….”
The fallen knight muttered as he looked at nothing..
“iced coffee… my sadness... It's my regret.”
The knight held the hand of the dark being..
“Grief… . me… Send me back to my homeland.”
That's how the black being got a name..
After consuming the man's body, the grief refused his request..
“no. You don't know how to do that? Now I'm going to kill as much as I want!”
support…
The surroundings became distorted..
The grief gradually grew as I regained my sense of self..
Suddenly, he regained his prime appearance..
Like a large devil, his muscular body was extremely ferocious..
“iced coffee… I see! Trapped here with that damn human.!”
“It's here now?”
“eww?”
Snow falling suddenly from behind.
Grief shouted..
“me… Did you wait??”
“Yeah, I've been through this quite a bit, so I came here quickly..”
“Hehehe… Hey, I'm heartbroken. You are human at best.”
“I am human and you are heartbreak at best?”
“Don't be fussy!”
Ujijijik!
When Grief swung his fist, the radius shattered..
It felt somewhat different from when I was helplessly held by Kang Seol..
“This power! This superior power! Can you feel it??”
“I'm excited.”
“okay! Now do you know the difference between you and me??”
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
Chii Iik…
“Ughhh….”
In Kang Seol’s hand, there was a pure white sword..
“Where did that come from?”
“well….”
“Too bad the sword met the wrong master..”
“I feel more sorry. Because the owner got the wrong weapon. I don't think it's black.”
“what?”
Whirling-!
Something strange happened.
His pure white sword now turned into a winged staff..
“I'll crush you!”
Whoa whoa-!
The fist that Grief swung did not reach Kang Seol..
He bent his back to avoid Grief's attack and immediately swung his staff and cast a spell..
whilick-!
The shadow hand poured rainwater.
Plop! Powok!
bub bub buk!
“Ugh… Wow!”
The heartbroken heart that had been beaten turned around and aimed at snowfall..
Kwaaaaang-!
Likewise, the snowfall that was easily avoided waved his wand..
This time, a flock of crows with red-brown eyes appeared..
food deukdeuk…
Tok tok tok!
Toto Talk!
A flock of crows flew hither and thither, harassing Bitan..
“Hey… You are nothing without your summons!”
“That doesn't apply to you either.?”
“…what?”
“You can't do anything alone.”
Bitan must have been shocked by those words, but even after crushing all the crows, he stared blankly at Snowfall for a moment..
His body got a little smaller..
The shock in the mental world was conveyed to him in real time..
Snowfall looked at the staff and muttered lowly..
“As expected, I think this is comfortable.”
Whirling!
The staff has now been transformed into a fighting armor..
“…I will definitely corrupt you. I'll make you indulge in blood and enjoy the extinguishing of life!”
“I don't like it that way.”
Kwazijic!
Kwasik!
Grief was onslaught..
Half of the shots were missed, and even if they hit, half of them were successfully defended by Kangseol..
However, they continued to attack..
“This is good!”
whilick…
The snowfall changed direction in the air and struck the heartbroken cheek..
Whoa whoa whoa-!
patter…
Grief's big body fell off and his body shrunk a little..
“Wow... Oh my... It hurts!”
“I've done too many bad things. How about trying something good now??”
“Kick… Don't try to convince me. I was born like this in the first place!”
“…….”
- You didn't learn. Cooperating with others and knowing that it is better.
Grief cried out and charged..
“Don't try to teach me!”
“ha….”
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
Grief was a demon, but unlike some terrible demons, he was big and strong, but he didn't know how to control that power..
I just swing it recklessly.
It's okay so far.
Until I met the snowfall.
“Phew….”
Snowfall’s eyes changed.
He has always felt Jamard's sharp senses, and through training with Tokiwa, his skills have reached a level of maturity that is difficult for grief to overcome..
green onion-
“Like this….”
Whoa whoa…
“Whoop….”
Yes.
Kwasik-!
“Argh! it hurts!”
Wow…
“K….”
Really, heartbreak was nothing alone.
Just a lump of resentment and hatred. And it was just that he was lucky enough to gain great power..
“Hi-Hi… I knew I would lose! Bonus….”
Whoa! Powok!
Heartbreak didn't give up.
No, actually, I wanted to give up..
But if I gave up, it was over..
Rather than simply surrendering, the existence of the demonic spirit itself will disappear..
‘Existence… I can't lose... . Self… I have to protect it.’
Grief shouted..
“Aaaah! You son of a bitch!”
The heartbreak continued to diminish, but the fight continued..
How stubborn a being called a demon is, to the point where Kangseol is amazed..
How much did we fight like that??
“Huh... Heo Eok….”
The heartbreak was such a huge blow that I lost consciousness for a moment. Everything around was pitch black, and there was no snowfall..
And, grief finally realized that his violence could no longer go on..
“under… haha… Hahahaha! After all, you must be exhausted! Because we are human! Did I win? You won, right? After all, humans are weak on the inside! Just wait a moment, it will corrupt your mind quickly.….”
flinch…
“Ugh… My body hurts so much... . He was a very strong person. But what to do with this? In the end, this grief won... Doesn't it look like he was trampled alive??”
flinch…
“Ugh… I think I need a little rest... hmm?”
In front of such sorrow, a warm flame appeared.
“…fire?”
And the devil's room that contains it.
A statue of a terrible demon was carved into the door..
Cheolkeong-!
the door is open.
As if I was waiting for heartbreak.
“Hehe… It's the perfect place for me. Just wait a moment, human. After resting here for a bit... I'll put an end to it.”
It seemed like a carved devil was whispering.
It's here.
This is where you stay.
“Well then, I'll see you later..”
Bitan entered the devil's room looking tired..
It's good…
Cheolkeong-!
The door closed, and there was silence for a moment..
But suddenly, a large hand was placed on the devil's statue..
The hand spun the room around..
However, for some reason, on the other side of the devil's room, there was a sculpture of a woman with her eyes closed in a benevolent manner..
A sacred feeling, very different from what grief had imagined..
In fact, the snow did not hide, but rather the grief became smaller..
“…What type of lantern is best? Well, anyway….”
The place Bitan entered, thinking it was the devil's room, was inside a lantern that Snowfall had made using pearls..
Snowfall smiled while holding a lantern radiating sacred energy..
“…Got it.”
