31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 177)

It was truly an amazing situation.. 

Only Ur, who took so much effort to seal it, can bring the expedition team back safely.. 

“that… what is that….” 

“…So what happens then??” 

The expedition's agitation came.. 

Snowfall, Frannan, the few remaining mercenary lords, Chameli, and Mael stepped forward.. 

They were each representative of the expedition team.. 

Of course, the title of Disciple of the Snowy Aspect weighed a little less than others, but considering the achievements made during the expedition, it was worthy of being placed at the top.. 

Anyway, they came forward to talk to Ur to sort out the situation or to better understand it.. 

The Ur inside Kiki's body frowned for a moment, and then, as if it had a good idea, it twisted its mouth in a mean way and spoke.. 

“ah… Oops, I guess I was too hasty. good night! I will take you out of this pitch-black world and send you to a world of brilliant light.!” 

“Is it true??” 

“I really?” 

It was clear to anyone that Ur had a grudge against the expedition team and would not cooperate, but as if something had blown his way, he suddenly came up with a solution.. 

However, after all, Ur was Ur.. 

“Instead, I will go out into the world with you..” 

“what?” 

“Hurry and break the seal and resurrect me. Then this Ur will reward your loyalty..” 

“This bastard….” 

“Puhahahaha! What did this monkey just say??” 

“You're probably asking for a back scratch.!” 

- It runs really well haha. 

- But you guys... Are there any measures?? 

- You're not just laughing, are you? huh? 

Ur's cheeks were swollen.. 

It looked like the face a monkey would make when it was very angry.. 

“Go, goan bastards… joy!” 

Ur crossed his arms and turned back.. 

“Then I understand that the negotiations have collapsed..” 

“…….” 

“If dying here isn't so bad, there's no reason why you wouldn't understand my offer. Is it possible that they are not fully aware of their situation? hero? It's good! You probably want to be a hero.” 

Ur's words pierced the hearts of the hesitating mercenary lords like a dagger.. 

“The heroes who sealed Ur, the magic and root! First, will future generations remember your names? There is no way you would know what happened here, much less be curious! Because that's human! You selfish people.!” 

After speaking passionately, Ur seemed satisfied with what he had just said and tried to drive a wedge.. 

“You will be forgotten here with me! forever….” 

One of the expedition members shuddered and said,. 

“Poetry, I hate it….” 

From that point on, the members of the expedition trembled with anxiety.. 

“Lord, I don't want to die.” 

“I didn't even think about dying.” 

“Rather than dying, it's better to talk to Ur more.….” 

“What happens when the seal on Ur is released??” 

“Unsealing and resealing….” 

“If we break the seal on Ur, will there be any way for the world to know that it was we who broke the seal??” 

In the end, the conversation continued into a direction where it should not have flowed. Ur's speech seemed to shake people's hearts.. 

Frannan said, waving his hands.. 

“Let's talk amongst ourselves.” 

“Anyway. There will be only one answer in the end.” 

The actual leadership of the expedition had separate conversations about the thorny issue.. 

“This guy... You've made a troublesome deal..” 

“If things continue like this, we'll be cornered just as he wants..” 

“Is there any way to use it to escape without breaking the seal??” 

“Wouldn't it be impossible? As Bornuil said, that guy who entered Kiki's body has no power right now. He must have left it in the main body..” 

“Haaa….” 

People held their itchy heads and said,. 

At that time, someone spoke sadly in a tone of abandonment.. 

“perhaps… Maybe it would be better for the world if we were forgotten along with Ur..” 

“This is ridiculous! what is that….” 

“Then, since that crazy devil can't really help us, what are we going to do after the seal is broken? I hope you don't plan on fighting that devil again.?” 

“…….” 

“We must not forget this. We lost to the author once. If it weren't for Snowman, he would have been a corpse lying around by now. That devil has a life force tougher than that of a bug. I'm sure it'll cause a lot of trouble when I go out into the world..” 

everyone is confused. 

If I tried to escape from here holding the devil's hand, I felt like all my efforts so far would have been in vain, and it was very unfair to sleep here with the devil.. 

However, until this moment when everyone was making a fuss, Snow Seol had not said a single word.. 

“hmm?” 

Frannan asked him a question while he was thinking deeply. I was hoping that there might be some way for the person who sealed Ur.. 

“what are you thinking?” 

“ah… I have a moment of doubt..” 

“So what is the question??” 

“If Ur is resurrected, what kind of body will it be??” 

“what?” 

“If we have to resurrect him, which body should we resurrect, the original human body or the spirit body??” 

Kang Seol’s question was unexpected, but Frannan didn’t bother to ask.. 

He was a former prisoner, and perhaps it was natural for him to think about his own safety rather than the fate of the world.. 

‘Are you planning to resurrect him?….’ 

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed.. 

However, Frannan did not reveal it and told Kangseol. 

“hmm… There was only dregs of magic power left in his original body. Maybe he wants to be resurrected as a spirit body too.?” 

“Elemental body… It's a spirit….” 

“I thought there was a way, but it seems there wasn't..” 

Chameli said in a dying voice.. 

“No matter how much I think about it, I can't accept that devil's offer. Like this we are here….” 

“…I think there is.” 

“yes?” 

Someone's voice heard her lament. 

It was the voice of snowfall. 

“I think there's only one way..” 

Frannan asked in surprise.. 

“what? how!” 

“I am… I will reap the author.” 

Now I finally understand. 

Snowfall was planning to turn Ur into a shadow summoner.. 

“That sounds crazy! He's on a different level from a roaring demon spirit! No matter how much you….” 

“Calm down and listen to me..” 

“No need to listen….” 

“Mr. Frannan.” 

“…….” 

Seeing Snow's serious face, Frannan had no choice but to surrender in the end.. 

“after… Tell me.” 

Frannan calmly listened to Kang Seol’s story. The expedition members also made strange expressions at first, but as they gradually understood the meaning of the snowfall, they began to look confused.. 

“uh?” 

“this… if….” 

Snowfall finished the story. 

“However, I am not sure if this is possible, so I would like to ask for your wisdom..” 

“her… haha… Yeah, that could be it..” 

“Mr. Frannan?” 

“No, it would be right to focus on the possibility. no! This may be the only way.” 

Mael also nodded.. 

“It is one of the principles that make up the world. No matter how hard you try, you won't be able to escape. I just have a few concerns..” 

“worry?” 

“Snowman, are you okay? Being tied to the author means….” 

“Because there is no way. And after hanging out with him once, I'm sure he'll be helpful on my way..” 

Frannan asked playfully.. 

“What Mael is asking is whether you might be falling for the author's trick. yes?” 

As Mael shrugged, the snowfall shook the lantern.. 

The grief that had been silent in the lamp was taken aback by the wind.. 

【Shake, shake! Is it an earthquake again??】 

Frannan looked at that and said. 

“That won't happen. However, the chances of him getting over it like we thought are slim. So I was thinking, why not use Borneuil??” 

“The scales?” 

“Yes, if the old man made us suffer, he should suffer too..” 

Everyone nodded after listening to Frannan's continued explanation. The plan is now somewhat structured.. 

The expedition called Kiki from far away.. 

“Hey, ur!” 

“hmm… Have you made up your mind? There would have been no other choice.” 

“We want to talk to Bornouil.!” 

“what?” 

“To seriously consider your proposal.!” 

“Hmm… good night.” 

Kiki's eyes fluttered and an old man's voice came out.. 

“Oh hohoho! did you find me?” 

“Borneuil….” 

Frannan asked Borneuil if they could talk privately.. 

“Rest assured. Ur is not listening now.” 

“then….” 

Frannan explained the plan to Borneuil.. 

“Ohh… Oh my... Oh hohohoho!” 

After hearing the plan, Bornuil spoke to the expedition team.. 

“Who came up with this ingenious method??” 

“This is my student.” 

“Frannan, you had such a hard time taking in no disciples, but you finally did it. very good!” 

“what… That's how it happened. if….” 

“Gladly! I'm willing to sacrifice my body to make it happen! If this is the only way I can repay you, it's Borneuil! You can do as much as you want. and… Making fun of Ur is also quite fun. Oh hoho….” 

So, I finished preparing and woke up Ur.. 

Ur asked confidently.. 

“What?” 

“I will change the conditions.” 

“condition? Where should I listen?.” 

“we can't break the seal.” 

“If that's the case, then it's probably a trivial matter..” 

“But there's one way to get you out.” 

“what is that?” 

snowfall stepped forward. 

“Being my summons.” 

“You're crazy.” 

“This is the only way. We have no means of breaking your seal..” 

“Hmm….” 

Ur was worried for a moment.. 

‘If morale had been properly collected, we would not have suffered this humiliation... It's a summoned beast... That's fun. Well, for a little while it might not be that bad..’ 

After leaving here, kill the summoner and you're done. All you have to do is gather new strength.. 

‘I am the root of magic, dare you try to make me a summoned beast?’ 

Ur gritted his teeth as he looked at the summoner's shameless face. I also have pleasant dreams of seeing that face crumpled miserably.. 

“good night! If it's that much….” 

“And there is one more condition.” 

“There are a lot of conditions..” 

“Bornuil's spirit is also with you..” 

“what? Even this person’s soul?” 

“We are the ones who came to save the scales. That was the purpose from the beginning. If he is revived, his soul will be with him..” 

“Umm….” 

I immediately realized what the crying people were trying to do.. 

‘You're going to use the old man's soul to control me. They seem like idiots….’ 

Ur was not the place to fall for such an obvious move. But now I decided to pretend to be fooled by them.. 

Bornuil actually had nothing to do with him, so if you remove it later, that's it.. 

“good night!” 

“Throw away your monkey body and return to your spirit body. Soon, there will be a ceremony.” 

Geek… 

Ur said. 

“I won't say it twice?” 

“We're risking our lives too, so let's focus on each other..” 

“good night. You probably know the process.?” 

“Death is the beginning of a new birth. Is there anyone who understands it better than me??” 

Slurp… 

Smoke came out of Kiki's nose.. 

It was like a faint haze, seeping into the elemental body of Ur wrapped in a chain of reconciliation.. 

“Ugh… There's nothing I can do right. Hey, I've separated my powers, so you should be able to summon me at your level. Now destroy my core.” 

“If it's sealed, isn't it even possible to kill yourself at will??” 

“Was Kagon’s seal funny? Now, just being able to transfer power and speak in a sealed state is nothing short of a testament to the greatness of Ur..” 

“I get it.” 

A huge rock stake was lifted by Snowfall and driven into the chest of the bound Ur.. 

“Heheheok….” 

And then. 

As previously promised, Chameli took action.. 

Wow!… 

[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..] 

“what? what are you doing….” 

Suddenly Ur trembled and hung his head.. 

“Oh hohoho! Success! For now, the cry has been put to rest..” 

“Borneuil! There is no time! hurry!” 

“great!” 

Bornuil, who had temporarily taken over Ur's body, began to say strange things.. 

“From now on, I, Ur, will truly serve the Snowman until my last breath and value life. Also, we will not hold any grudges against the expedition team, much less harm their lives. This Ur, I will walk together, away from evil and close to good, as my master, the Snowman, leads. If you violate this!” 

Ur… No, Bornouil's eyes shone brilliantly.. 

“I will repent by disappearing from existence! Oh hohohoho!” 

Puuk… 

Ur's head hung low.. 

[Ur: Shays has been defeated..] 

“then….” 

Snowfall stretched out her hands forward.. 

“Serve!” 

Fazzzzzzzzzzzzz, that is.! 

Black energy swirled around. 

In the meantime, the level of snowfall has increased significantly.. 

However, at that level, Ur will not be able to be harvested as a summon.. 

‘So I tried to transfer the power.’ 

Ur pushed all powers other than the original source into one place.. 

Therefore, the summoning difficulty has been lowered significantly, reaching a level where Snowfall can be summoned.. 

And the plan was to use the previously transferred power as if it were an explosion to escape the expedition, so it was a great fortune for the expedition that Ur was such a transcendental person.. 

Jijijijik… 

[Successfully summons the sealed shadow of Ur..] 

[Trying to pass on.] 

[The level of summons is significantly higher..] 

[No power except the source can be passed down..] 

[The magic path is passed down completely..] 

[The Orchestrator (Singularity) activates..] 

[Additionally, higher level abilities are inherited..] 

[The maverick general is completely inherited..] 

Holding support! 

A tiny ghost escaped from a pile of chains.. 

Sigh.… 

The ghost was wearing handcuffs, and a small chain connected the handcuffs together.. 

Ur's eyes sparkled.. 

He placed his hand on the corpse of the already dead spirit and said:. 

“first… Let's get out of this damn place.” 

Jiiiiiiing- 

[Sealed Ur uses the breath of the whale..] 

[Rises with explosive power.] 

“Everyone be prepared!” 

“Expedition! Don't fall!” 

Soon, with tremendous force, they rose, breaking the ceiling of Alkatron.. 

Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-! 

Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! 

Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! 

“Ughhh….” 

A pillar of light so large that it can be seen from a very far away has appeared on the ground.. 

Whioooooooooooo… 

They rose into the air in an instant. 

“Bar, it's outside!” 

“It's dazzling….” 

“Sunshine... It was morning?” 

“Now, wait! fall down!” 

“Everyone, don't lose your hands!” 

[Chameli uses Consecration: Glide.] 

[Falling speed is greatly reduced.] 

“ha ha ha!” 

“It's success!” 

“we did it!” 

“I survived safely... black….” 

The expedition team enjoyed victory before they even set foot on land.. 

Ur laughed at that sight.. 

He decided that now was the time to make his plans come true.. 

“Now, you… you….” 

widely. widely…. 

Until the moment everyone landed on the ground, we couldn't continue crying.. 

After a while, he said. 

“Why? Why do I feel like I shouldn't kill you guys??” 

“That's right... Because Borneuil promised while you were sleeping.” 

Bornuil's voice came from Ur.. 

“Oh hohohoho! Ur seemed busy, so I promised instead..” 

“There are as many promises as there are... for a moment….” 

Ur looked down at his body.. 

After waiting for a while, Kang Seol spoke to the devastated man.. 

“A spirit must keep its promise. It's one of the world's strongest rules.” 

“Nonsense… Dare me!” 

“If you rebel against me, your existence will disappear this time, Ur..” 

Ur shouted at himself as if he was causing a split in his ego.. 

“You made a promise like that!” 

“Oh hohohoho! I was fooled, why??” 

The lamp of sorrow approached Ur floating in the air.. 

Jorororo… 

Grief spoke to Ur.. 

【hmm… hmm… You know I'm a senior?】 

“…what?” 

【You know what? that… anyway….】 

A small demon whispered into the ear of Ur, the elemental being.. 

【Let's corrupt that bastard together. If you help me, I can do it in no time..】 

“…….” 

【Do you want some beef jerky? I hid that kid secretly. Hehehe… how is it? The severity of my senior.】 

“…No, this can't be happening.….” 

Leaving Ur alone, who seemed to have lost the will to live, Kang Seol checked the abilities of his newly acquired pet.. 

And then I opened my eyes wide. 

“this….”
