31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 172)
The changes that began when Snowfall placed the rock giant's core in her hands..
[The rock giant's core fills the mountain's source.]
[The mountain energy of the rock giant's core is 'abundance'..]
[The source of the acid cannot be absorbed completely..]
[The overflowing power of the Source strengthens the Shaman's abilities.]
[Volcanic Armor persists: strengthened by Earth Armor.]
[Firestorm Stance's continuous abilities are strengthened all at once..]
[Status Abnormality: Immune to petrification.]
[Source power: The mountain is full.]
Patter-patter…
“I… What is that?”
“what is happening?”
“A giant... It's disappearing.”
Kungkung's body turned into dust and was absorbed into the bead that Kangseol held in his hand. And the bead was being absorbed into Kang Seol again..
sssss…
Where Kungkung's body had completely disappeared and even the core of the rock giant that Snowfall had placed in his hand had disappeared, there stood a man wearing solid armor made of rock..
‘this… source force.’
It was my first time seeing it in person, but it was a force that felt completely different from magic..
Until now, using volcanic armor required concentration of consciousness, but now there is no need to go through that cumbersome process..
Kangseol nodded while checking the new changes..
‘I see, it has been changed to activate automatically..’
In that case, I think activation speed is important, but it didn't matter if I checked this part later..
- I buy source power, never used it..
- Something touches my heart;;
- what; I thought it was pointless, but I got it.!
- Source power, but how do you use that??
- I get it but don’t use it.;
There were several reasons why Snowfall did not use source power until now..
The biggest reason among them was that in order to use source power, you had to build up empty source power from the beginning..
This is usually called training or practice..
The power of nature that a great shaman wields is not something that can be obtained as easily as water gushing from a faucet..
If you want to use it that way, it is correct to fill the water tank first in order..
And the first button has just been sewn.
- Hey, can you feel it??
Jamard asked Kangseol.
‘I'm talking about this power?’
- Yes, I've seen it used by monsters from the Tribal Alliance a few times... I didn't know I would gain this power so quickly..
Another reason why it was difficult to use source power was that at Kangseol and Jamad's current level, it was difficult to use source power as naturally as breathing..
In order to use power comparable to combat ability, preheating was necessary..
‘Well, this part will gradually get better. than that…’
According to the information I recalled earlier, the first achievement was obtained by defeating Kungkungi..
[First title: Superhuman]
Related Achievements: The Path of the Superman (Adventure: Gatekeeper Kung-kung))
Special Ability: Every hour, with a certain probability, one of your abilities or abilities is randomly strengthened for 5 minutes..
‘I can't quite feel it. I guess I'll have to actually activate it to find out..’
- Good things?
- well… Wouldn’t it be a bit ambiguous to say 5 minutes of reinforcement every hour??
- 5I guess we'll have to look at the numbers to see how much it gets strengthened in minutes..
- ㄹㅇ I think this will go back and forth between poop and soybean paste depending on how it is applied..
Kang Seol’s thoughts were not much different from those thoughts..
I decided to wait and see about the title since I could judge how powerful this title is based on the reinforcement value or reinforcement method..
Snowfall has completed a short inspection of its abilities..
The time spent up to this point was less than 1 minute..
That means I only skimmed through it..
Normally I would have looked through it carefully, but now was not the time to be so relaxed..
As Snowfall walked towards the expedition team, they squinted at Snowfall..
“saw? My body was turning black..”
“That dog also grew as big as a house..”
“He's Frannan's disciple.?”
“Frannan is not your disciple.?”
Frannan, who was listening to the story nearby, approached Kangseol..
“Hmm… They seem like noisy guys. So, what on earth are you hiding and how much? The force that crushed that rock was a force I had never seen before..”
“This is it.”
“well… We'll have to wait and see. Let's go there faster than that..”
“Why are they gathered together??”
“Because a lot of people died. and… Because some people will die soon.”
Kang Seol remembered the injured man that the iron lion was carrying on his back earlier..
“no way… Yofimba?”
“Yeah, I guess it's difficult to treat..”
- If I feed it the blood of the beginning, won't it survive??
- Are you a newbie? That was the first thing I experimented with as soon as the snowman got blood..
- You failed.;
- ㅇㅇ I guess it’s because it’s diluted.
They approached the expedition group surrounding Jofimba..
When I looked at Yofimba's side, I saw that many of his colleagues who had already lost their lives to the debris were lying down as if they were sleeping soundly..
Jofimba’s complexion was pale..
“Cough… Cough….”
“Yofimba! Right now I….”
“Why are you screaming so hard my ears hurt?.”
Colleagues from the Relic Society cried out for Jofimba and shed tears..
“Don't die, Yofimba! I'm still conscious! Bishop, Jofimba… Our friend Yofimba….”
“…….”
Yofimba chuckled..
“You idiots... Don't ask for something you can't do. This is something from Baranoa... Even if you bring a head, you can still laugh... This is not possible. … This thing is definitely dead. Look at that expression. Hey, girl. Can you do me a favor??”
“Please speak, Jofimba..”
“I have something to leave you with. that… It's possible?”
“All right.”
Wow!…
A gentle breeze blew, and a brilliant emblem was carved on Jofimba's blood-stained forehead..
[Chameli uses retrospectives.]
[Target becomes immune to all damage and attacks.]
[Subject does not feel pain.]
[Target cannot use all abilities.]
[After a while, the subject is certain to die..]
The stigma of death given to Jofimba..
This may have bought us some time, but it left us with no hope whatsoever..
“why… why….”
“It feels a lot more comfortable... . Guys, keep your creepy faces aside. And there Mael, come closer..”
Mael approached Jofimba with a cruel expression on his face that had not yet calmed down..
“What are you so afraid of? Mael, you damn troll..”
“Yofimba….”
“Straighten your shoulders! Why are you sitting there looking so depressed??”
“sorry.”
The sight of a large troll bowing its head in agony to a dwarf was quite a strange sight..
“You've been like that since the first time I saw you. His personality is too soft, and it doesn't match his big body and fierce wildness.….”
“There is no way to live the way you live, right??”
“Yes, that's right. You're handsome... . men and horses.”
“…Yofimba. Please leave a comment. Ready to record.”
Yofimba cleared her voice and spoke to the remaining members of the Relic Council..
“You fools who have lost their cowards in the Relic Society, this Yofimba is about to die the happiest of deaths. That is, something old and old dies in a living, breathing ruin. It's the death I've always dreamed of... But if there's one thing I regret, it's that I didn't see beyond that door. So if you consider me a friend….”
He smiled and continued..
“Instead of me, you guys come see it. After my death, I will leave the door open for the dwarves, so later… Much later… Come find me and tell me what was out there.”
Mael responded with a grin..
“As a troll, the door might be a bit narrow for me..”
“Mael, come crawling! You're a bit of a bitch, so it's okay to suffer a little..”
“ha ha ha….”
Clap…
“This gun… You use it. You know the workshop I deal with?”
“Thank you, Jofimba.”
“And you bastards of the Relic Society, listen carefully. We are now in a place no one has ever reached. We are a relic society. They are crazy people who are more hungry for the secrets of the ruins than for the people they are related to or have slept with..”
His eyes scanned the remaining members of the Relic Society one after another..
“I honestly don't think you all will survive. but… If a miracle happens and one of you goes out into the world, tell us what happened here. And tell the world.”
“…….”
“We've peeked into a secret! We fought here. Okay, now that I'm done talking, everyone go away..”
Mael took Jofimba's hand..
“Jofimba, I will record your life and keep it on the edge of the Antiquities Society's library..”
“until the dust settles?”
“Of course.”
“haha… Born with blood and flesh, and dying with books... that… It's killing me….”
Tuuk.
That's how Yofimba, an official of the Relic Society, died..
* * *
“Come on, open the door..”
A huge key remains where Kungkung disappeared..
The wire lion held it and approached the keyhole..
He hesitated for a moment before inserting the key and said to Mael:.
“Sorry, troll. … I apologize for my rudeness so far..”
Apparently, Mael's desperate actions for him and Yofimba had changed his mind..
Clap-
Geek…
When the key went into the hole, the door opened with a noise. It felt like a door that hadn't been opened for a very long time..
“If you're angry, you can hit me.”
“If I hit you, you'll be the first one here and through the dwarf's door..”
“…….”
- lol
- One room to Yopimba.
Mael said, shyly stroking his upper body that exposed his bulging muscles..
“When you get out of here, buy everyone a drink..”
“what?”
The words Mael spoke just now were very timely words that would ease everyone's tension. The wire lion said with a smile.
“Yeah, I'mma live big, just give me a chance.”
As the mood calmed down, everyone headed down..
Stop.
However, Snowfall, who was following them from behind, suddenly hesitated..
“What's wrong?”
“…no.”
Before the door opened, Kang Seol was looking at the sentence written on the door for a long time..
‘what?’
The feeling of déjà vu that I felt the other day at the mention of lighting came again here..
Snowfall clearly had a good memory. He tended to remember past events in detail and rarely forgot anything unless it was too detailed..
That's why he began to question this as he often couldn't remember his memories after being transferred..
‘I confirmed that if I retrieve my words, my memories will come back... . However, this feeling is completely different... This… different.’
How Kang Seol felt after seeing the words.
I don't know but I know.
The memories scattered among the words felt like reading a book with partially torn pages, but now it felt like reading a book where the pages were still in place but the content had changed..
It feels like reading a new revised edition..
“cell.”
“yes?”
“No, definitely… It seemed like it was written that way.”
“What is it, really?….”
So, Snowfall followed the expedition team and headed downward..
And, after the others left, there was someone left at the door..
it was tori.
“Sorry, I'm done here.….”
Slurp…
Tori disappeared like that..
* * *
pop…
pop…
Alkatron, 5th floor underground.
“I feel it… this… It's really amazing.”
“This energy... Everyone can't fall apart!”
“The landlord seems to be quite polite. You're this strong, but you just watched us storm into the living room..”
A terrible energy was conveyed even to Snowfall’s skin..
The 5th basement floor wasn't that dark. Strangely enough, a soft light was floating in the air..
snowfall said.
“The meaning of welcome is... Probably not?”
“It's obvious. It must be one of my whims.”
“I hope something appears quickly….”
Just then, someone's voice was heard..
“Frannan, it's Frannan! Oh hohoho.”
Frannan's expression hardened..
“This voice... Damn, I wasn't even expecting it.….”
Ye’s voice was heard again..
“It's me. It's Bornouil..”
Borneuil.
The purpose of the expedition team's visit here, and the person who wanted to retrieve at least a body..
Libra, Bornouil.
Slurp…
Hung… Hung… Hung…
A lump of flame was created in the air and continued like a road..
And at the end of the road, an old man with a bent back was standing behind him..
someone among the wizards shouted.
“Borneuil! Borneuil!”
“Tower owner! It's us! Are you safe??”
Frannan raised his hand to stop them..
“You idiots... Why are you asking that??”
“yes?”
“That guy is not a scale.”
The old man laughed sinisterly..
“Oh hohoho… Frannan, did you notice??”
“Where is Bornouil??”
“In this... Yes.”
“you… who is this?”
“I am… It's over there.”
Bornouil raised his head..
Hung… Hung…
A new flame has risen.
There, as if wearing a straitjacket in a mental hospital, there was a figure floating with chains wrapped around his limbs and even his face covered with a mask..
“…I can't tell just by looking at that.?”
At that time, the old man's new brother flinched..
A terrifying and fearful voice came from him..
“Stay still! still….”
It seemed like his soul was not the only thing that existed in Bornouil's body..
Frannan stiffened his countenance and asked.
“Hey, you fearless bastard who entered the body of a scale..”
“Are you talking about me??”
“yes you.”
The one who dragged them to this secret place and even stole Libra's body..
“you… What?”
The red-eyed evil with the face of Borneuil smiled..
