31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 163)
Shoot ah…
Crying-!
The rain gradually became heavier and the thunder that thundered loudly across the plateau continued..
Holding support!
“Biguuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure!”
The power of the thunderbolt pulled out from Ungus went wild as if it was trying to set Jamard's whole body on fire..
“snowman!”
“Okay, it's okay.?”
“Wow!!”
Snowfall was also not free from pain because it took on the form of a night crow that had merged with Jamad..
“Biguuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu….”
Saliva dripped from the corner of his mouth..
‘It's an incredible pain... It feels like my brain is melting and flowing.’
The pain was so immense that all thoughts disappeared. They say it's a pain you get used to after a moment, but this intense pain only got worse..
‘Ugh… Does Jamard become stronger by going through this pain??’
When I absorbed Magra before, I probably experienced even more pain than this. My body burned alive several times, and even those times didn't go well, so I trembled in recoil..
support support…
As Kangseol admired Jamad's endurance and extraordinary skills, the thunderstorm gradually subsided..
Snowfall was released from pain early on, but Jamard still hadn't opened his eyes..
At that time, a voice came out from Jamard's tattoo on the corner of Kangseol's mouth..
“Thank you for your hard work, Ungus. Now I will carry it.”
Crying-!
Lightning flashed and the sky brightened, and at the same time, the crow's body also flashed for a moment..
[Absorbs Ungus' magic..]
[Volcanic Jamard is strengthened to Fire Thunder Jammad..]
[The level of the summon is strengthened to transcendent level..]
[Pets now qualify as Grand Shamans.]
[The Grand Shaman wields the power of the source..]

[The pet awakens the source power: thunderbolt..]

[Achieve the first achievement ‘You don’t have anything like this’.]
[Obtain the first title “Master of Transcendence”.]
……
Snowfall was the first to check the message that caught her eye..
‘source force!’
Ability to awaken upon reaching a certain level among great shamans.
It was a different kind of strength than that of an archmage..
‘But why did I wake up already??’
Jamard has just become a great sorcerer, and he is already able to control source power..
‘Is it because he can even handle the power of Magra and Ungus??’
Usually, there are great shamans who delve deeply into one type of magic throughout their lives, while there are also great shamans like Jamad who handle a variety of powers. A person who is not deep, but has realized wide power.
crunchy…
Grinding…
Because the absorption was completed, the bodies of Kangseol and Jamad were separated..
“Huh... Heo Eok….”
“I'm sorry for sharing your pain..”
“This is the pain of being split in half?”
Jamard nodded..
After briefly remembering the pain that had made him shudder earlier, Kang Seol laughed at Jamaard's calmness..
Jamard squeezed his hand for a moment..
Grinding…
A lightning flash appears above my hand for a moment..
Grumbling…
A flame appeared.
patter…
replaced by stones.
“this… source force….”
“I can handle it?”
“It seemed mysterious when the old men of the Federation used it, but in reality, it is a power of no consequence..”
“…….”
- It's no big deal if I can do it..
- Sir, would you mind? yes? Do you want to get hit??
- Wow, but that’s so cool ㄷㄷ
While Jamad was confirming the power he had awakened, Snowfall also confirmed Jamard's newly acquired power..
First, let’s briefly check Jamard’s abilities..
‘hmm… It's almost 1.5 times that..’
I remember the existing abilities of the same level, but the abilities are increased by a whopping 50% compared to the previous abilities..
‘You can kill most monsters just by punching them.….’
In the first place, when Jamard became legendary, the penalty for shadow summons disappeared..
In addition, Snowfall has optional equipment and abilities that double the summon's abilities, so Jamard actually has more power than a boss of the same level..
‘Of course, the level is not high yet.….’
In fact, this was because the adventures that Snowfall was experiencing were all 1 or 2 levels higher than the adventures that other people of the same level were experiencing..
[Lasts: Tingling]
- Every attack is imbued with the magical power of lightning. The power of lightning has effects such as thunder, lightning, and flash, respectively..
[Continuation: alert nerves]
- The force of lightning stimulates the nervous system. Significantly increases your physical and mental reflexes.
‘Saying that an attack contains magical power is the same as saying that a successful attack can cause a status abnormality to the opponent..’
You can even aim for additional damage from electric shock or confusion from tinnitus..
‘And these nimble nerves... Increase in combat power? You can just look at it as that... You have to actually experience the effect to know, but it's clear that it's a good ability..’
Abilities had to be scrutinized carefully..
When he becomes a raven, Jamard's abilities are the same as his own..
‘And the title is….’
[First title: Master of Transcendence]
Related Achievements: You don't have anything like this (Adventure: None)
Special ability: For each transcendent level summon, the summoner and all summons' abilities increase by 10%..
‘…It's over..’
transcendence level.
In the classification of monsters and summoned beasts, it was ranked higher than legendary..
In the world of eternity, this grade was determined based on various values, not just combat power, but even Kangseol could only guess what the criteria were..
What is certain is that if you encounter a transcendent level monster, there is no way to deal with it at this point..
That's what I mean under normal circumstances..
‘If Jamard was the enemy now….’
In reality, you'll have to face it to find out, but you probably won't be able to win..
It will be difficult for the twin knights to fully demonstrate their power in the face of overwhelming abilities and abilities..
Of course, Jamard was now an ally, not an enemy..
- Everyone is growing up, but Snowman is not growing up.….
- Jamard is going to blow the black thunder all by himself.;;
- ㄹㅇ Magra Jamard looks scarier now than when I first saw him haha.
While Kang Seol and Jamard were thinking about this and that, Ungola approached them..
He approached the body of his brother Ungus..
“…older brother.”
black and hard body.
Even in death, his majestic appearance did not disappear..
Ungus, the black and thunderous hero where everything is charred. Even the eyes of the now dead body were stained pitch black..
Ungola looked at that and muttered with his eyes closed..
“Rest in peace, my flesh and blood..”
The moment he said that, another message appeared in Kangseol's field of vision..
[Attractive presence is activated. Gain extra favorability.]
[Obtain the helper ‘Black Thunder Ungola’.]
[‘Black Thunder Ungola's level is Hero..]
[Helpers have a chance to appear in every adventure.]
[They provide help to the player based on their likeability.]
[Faction: Your influence over Black Thunder increases..]
[Faction: Increases your influence over the Troll Clan Alliance.]
[Force: Changes to friendly relationship with Black Thunder.]
[Force: You can exchange help with Black Thunder..]
[Force: Black Thunder is deeply interested in your actions..]
* * *
They returned to their village from the Plateau of Thunder.
Frannan said to Kangseol.
“I was late. I couldn't help it, but now I have to leave.”
“Yes, you do..”
Snowfall and Jamard told Ungola about their purpose. Ungola asked Jamad back..
“Alkatron? Are you talking about those eerie ruins??”
“Yes, Ungola. we decided to go there.”
“Hmm….”
Ungola's expression became strange after hearing Jamard's story..
“There is a road, but something feels off..”
“what?”
“There was a big earthquake in this area not long ago. There is a bridge in the direction of the ruins you are heading towards, but it was built so long ago that I don't know if it will still remain properly..”
“…All I can do is check it out.”
“I will also calculate the number..”
When Kang Seol's group heard that they would be able to depart safely again tomorrow, they were relieved and relieved..
“Phew... I thought it was really over when I got caught by the trolls..”
“Hahaha, Black Thunder is not a very malicious group. People often make such misconceptions simply by seeing the cruel treatment of those who arbitrarily invade their territory..”
Chameli responded coldly to Mael’s answer..
“Aren’t we the ones trespassing into that territory at will??”
“Ahaha, was that so??”
“I guess Mael doesn't suit me well.….”
“Ha ha ha ha ha… I think I'm a good fit?”
“eww….”
Those who witnessed the thrilling scene at the Plateau of Thunder were overcome by fatigue and easily fell asleep..
* * *
The next day, the carriage started rolling again..
Doo doo doo doo…
“But, why is the black thunder following me??”
“That's it... I think it's because of what Snowman handled with Jamard..”
“is it so? What's wrong??”
“No, on the contrary, it seems to have worked out so well that it seems to be taking on the role of our guide..”
“…It was right to choose this path..”
“well… First of all, there was a lot of time wasted hanging out with the black thunderstorm here, so the search team that went to the detour might arrive first..”
“But wouldn't we be faster??”
“that is….”
After a few days, the carriage stopped..
“Well, we’ve arrived.?”
“that… I don't think so.”
Everyone got off the carriage..
Black thunder and snowfall and the group stood in front of a steep cliff..
The other party members were dumbfounded..
Snowfall and Jamad saw Ungola..
“what happened?”
“The ominous feeling was correct. The bridge was broken because of the earthquake..”
Mael slaps his palm! and said, smiting.
“Oh, so there was a landslide on the detour. That's why the road collapsed.”
Chameli said with tears in his eyes..
“Hey Mael... Our road has collapsed too..”
- ??? : I heard that the house over there collapsed, so I went to take a look..
- But when I came to see it, my house had collapsed. As soon as I saw it, I started crying..
- What should I do, really lol
Snowfall and Frannan sigh when they see the collapsed bridge..
In particular, Frannan frowned and said,.
“this… This is difficult. If we take the detour, we will be a week behind the original schedule.….”
“In fact, even if you cross here now, the people on the bypass will probably arrive first..”
“So, I mean.”
Shoot ahhh…
They stare aimlessly across the street in the rain.
A choice occurred to Kang Seol..
[The bridge from Misty Hills to Alcatron has collapsed due to the earthquake. what would you do?]
1. Take a detour and move.
2. give up the expedition.
3. Abandon the carriage and move only the personnel..
4. look for another way.
……
‘hmm….’
Kang Seol examined the options as carefully as possible to find the most certain answer..
‘If it goes back like this, is that the problem?….’
I never would have guessed that the bridge on the side of the foggy hill collapsed..
If I had known this would happen, it might have been better for everyone to take the detour..
‘Well, I'm not sure what happened there either..’
At that time when Snowfall frowned and continued to think deeply, Ungola spoke..
“You don't have to worry too much, human. Brother, I will help you..”
“hmm? you?”
“Ungola is helping me.?”
“Because this has been our territory for a long time. It was also the ancestors of Black Thunder who built this bridge..”
“Considering the structure of the bridge... It doesn't seem to be made normally, is it Ungola??”
“I saw it correctly. It's the power of witchcraft. Fortunately, we have a record of the magic that built this bridge..”
“then….”
Ungola shouted after hearing Jamad's words..
“Shamans of black thunder! From now on, we will rebuild the bridge.!”
“yes!”
“Bring the shaman stones prepared in advance! use it as a guide!”
“yes!”
Kugoong…
Two huge shaman stones brought on a wagon were embedded in the foundation of the bridge..
Ungola said while looking at the huge rocks..
“That size would be nice. Made with rocks nearby.”
“get started!”
“yes!”
Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss For…
Whites began to appear in the shamans' eyes, and an unusual air current surrounded them..
Crying-!
A thunderbolt flew out and hit a huge rock..
crispy…
Huge rocks began to break into pieces. Of course, it was not possible to destroy all the rocks at once, so this process lasted for two days..
“Huh... Heo Eok….”
“This is enough... It seems like it's done.”
Ungola nodded..
And then he stepped forward and touched the floor..
“This side is ready too.”
There was a line drawn in animal blood on the floor that Ungola was walking on, with one side pointing towards the shaman stone and the other side towards the other shamans..
“Let's start.”
Rumbling-!
Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss For…
Prepared pieces of rock surfaced..
“Ugh….”
All of the black thunder shamans concentrated with veins standing on their foreheads..
patter…
Patter-patter…
Doo-doo-doo-duk-duk!
Pieces of stone flew in and began to build a bridge. Chameli was very surprised..
“Nonsense… How can this happen?….”
Frannan also stroked his chin and said,.
“That's fun. Is this the essence of witchcraft? It's a different kind of magic.”
A situation you cannot believe even when you see it with your own eyes..
A bridge began to appear in a space where there was nothing..
It didn't take long for a bridge made of rock pieces to be created in the empty air. Rather, the preparation period was much longer..
Toad doo doo doo duk…
“That's it.”
Although the width was not very wide, it continued perfectly enough for a carriage to pass all the way to the cliff on the other side..
“Send Gripto.”
“yes!”
Gripto, the troll's means of transportation, slowly crossed the bridge. My legs were fine..
Ungola shouted after seeing that his legs were strong..
“Now install the shaman stone on the other side! Once installation is complete, it will be perfectly fixed.!”
Kugoong…
* * *
A new bridge was built in just a few days. It was an achievement I couldn't believe even when I saw it with my own eyes..
‘It's a shame that this came from a black thunderbolt... Otherwise, I would have been in dire straits..’
We all seemed to think the same thing, and after getting on the carriage, we talked about the black thunderstorm..
“I'm so glad! I almost fell behind….”
“You may have suffered the indignity of having to turn back right before Alkatron..”
“If that were the case, I don't think I would be able to carry my face..”
“Without their help, the mission would have definitely been a failure..”
“I don't even want to think about what would have happened if I had ignored the trolls back then.….”
It's good…
Soon, the carriages began to pass one by one..
Snow and his party were on the last carriage..
Ungola said to Jamad as he saw him off:.
“Brother, Ungus, don't forget my brother..”
“Ungus is in here, Ungola..”
“…See you again. I'll be waiting for my brother's ambition..”
“okay.”
The carriage crossed the bridge safely..
Now you can really reach Alkatron if you stretch out your hand..
The group said nothing..
From now on, the party will face danger in earnest..
“Did you arrive first??”
“That would be true if the bypass repair was completed quickly..”
“Still, we will all arrive at the same time, so we can all start searching for Alkatron together..”
“…….”
Chameli spoke to Mael to relieve the heavy atmosphere..
“Mael? Why are you looking at me like that during the entire expedition??”
“Oh, I was comparing the excavation records about Alkatron with one of the ancient documents from the Antiquities Society..”
“is it so? Yeah, I'll have to see it….”
“Now, it seems clear.”
“…yes? I found something?”
Mael's expression looked darker than before..
“Just now, I think I figured out what the Alkatron was originally used for..”
