31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 179)
Ur began to explain step by step..
“The easiest way to resurrect a shadow wolf is to return it to a summon. Once a strong relationship is formed, it is easier to return to its original form..”
“But didn't you say that's not possible??”
“Okay, there are two reasons why you can't use this method. First, I heard that Shadow Wolf wasn't even your summon in the first place? Second, your pathetic shadow..”
“my shadow?”
Whirling-!
The little spirit explained arrogantly, with the expression of an old man with a flowing beard, as if he was omnipotent when it came to handling his own body..
“Yes, your shadow is terrible..”
“what is that….”
“I took a close look at the spirits that reside in your shadow. It was pretty good, huh? There are children who have various circumstances... However, you are currently immature to deal with them..”
“…….”
- Let's listen, let's listen…
- Hey boy! The snowman is a bit immature, but the words are too harsh.!
- The kid is good.!
Ur is taking out the snacks he brought out earlier with a grumpy expression on his face..
Tsk tsk tsk tsk…
“But now that this body, the pinnacle of magic, has joined... . Plus, shadow wolves come in? It may not be possible to get in in the first place, but it will probably explode..”
“who?”
“Of course your shadow.”
“…….”
The snowfall was very disconcerting..
‘Did I grow too fast??’
Hexagons are often used when evaluating someone's abilities. If it grows evenly, its abilities will resemble a perfect hexagon, but the current snowfall is probably closer to a triangle than a hexagon..
‘Is it the quality of the summons, their combat ability, and their level of rapport?….’
Ur was pointing out that the quality of shadow magic and the total amount of shadows were inferior to other abilities..
‘However, the shadow space has expanded in its own way.….’
Purga's Blessing, the Attuner's Singularity, and even the effect of wearing the Abomination..
There are already a lot of options to increase the maximum amount of shadow space..
‘But it's still not enough….’
The absolute value of the total amount was never insufficient..
However, considering the level of the summons he had in his early 20s, it was true that the shadow space was insufficient..
Legendary 2nd stage, Transcendence 1st stage, Immortal 1st stage.
In particular, the twin knights were showing signs that their rank would rise again soon after meeting the black knight, so it became even more of a problem..
When Kangseol listened to Ur’s words with a serious expression, he said:.
“Don't be too disappointed, the shadow is also a branch extending from me. If you pay a little attention, training yourself is not a task..”
- Ur… you were a good guy?
- Still, I have no intention of releasing it.…
- The owner has no intention of giving socks to Dobby.….
“First of all, you need to know one thing. No matter how successful you were in communicating with the shadow wolf, you couldn't properly handle even half of its power. Do you know??”
“Of strength… half?”
“Yeah, but it can't really be said to be your fault. He's probably never even seen his group. The best way to survive in the wild is to learn everything from your parents. It can't fail and is even stable. You know what? Shadow wolves don't grow that big to begin with..”
“But why was Coco so big??”
“You must have chosen that yourself. To grow bigger. If that power had been used elsewhere, it would have been several times stronger. Because shadow wolves are a notorious race. There….”
Ur chuckled..
“There are powers that are just right for you right now..”
“power suitable for me?”
“Okay, I'll tell you about that later. Anyway, since you can't revive it as a summon, you'll have to choose another method. When this body decides... I think it would be a good idea to use your other abilities..”
“If it's my other abilities….”
Snowfall rarely used any other abilities except summoning..
Especially in the case of magic, I didn't even touch it..
‘Oh, no way?’
Ur said, raising his finger..
“Your noisy crows. That's a creature?”
“that's right.”
“It's about making cocoa or something into a creature..”
“Then it shouldn't work, right? reason….”
“Of course, we have to refine the source and recreate it. Rest assured, your memories and reason will continue intact. This is the clan that was created that way from the beginning..”
“Well, I'm glad... But how?”
“It's hard right now.”
“…….”
“If you want to try that method, you'll need a lot of Shadow Essence. But… Isn't there one??”
“What is the essence of shadow??”
“It is literally sacrificing the shadow. Well, since it's a return to the origin anyway, it's not a painful or cruel process, but an offering is an offering. In the past, creatures were caught alive and used as sacrifices, but I don't know if that's the right thing to do from a modern perspective..”
“That was right in the past?”
“It wasn't right even then. However, it was public..”
- You commit crimes like you breathe.?
- I feel like I'm talking to a big guy who washed his hands haha.
“Anyway, this body will find a way..”
Kangseol looked at Ur, who was making a rant, for a moment and then asked..
“Ur, what is your strength now??”
“Even 1/10th of the original strength cannot be used properly. This is not a joke. but… In a body like this, ability is greatly dependent on power, so if you use power wisely, it is possible to narrow the gap..”
warrant.
This will apply to both magicians and mavericks..
‘Thanks to the singularity, I was able to get one more.….’
Ur said.
“I don't know how you did it, but since you preserved the power of this body as much as possible, the recovery of strength will be faster than expected. and… If it weren't for an unknown situation in the first place, you wouldn't have been my opponent..”
- Ur (0 wins, 0 draws, 1 loss))
- Excuses lol
- But actually, I almost lost haha.
“Alkatron's morale was not as concentrated as expected, so his resurrection was delayed and his restored strength was below expectations. It's really strange... Maybe there was a water leak somewhere. Well, bygones are bygones. Hey, summoner. I also have a goal.”
“Finding traces of Kagon?”
“You're kind of perceptive, that's right. We will find traces of Kagon by your side. Why did the powerful Khagon Empire disappear, and why is there not a single fragment of Khagon in your memories? I'll have to check it out.”
Snowfall was also something I was interested in..
Also about how he was able to read the words there..
“Even so, my work comes first.”
Of course, it was in second place..
“Of course, your work will be very minor compared to mine. I'll get it over with quickly.”
“well….”
Jamard secretly laughed in the shadow space..
* * *
Doo doo doo doo!
People looking at the back of the black thunder troll leaving after confirming its identity..
Among the expedition members, they were members who took a detour..
“oh my god… They handed over food and left..”
“They are the black thunder we know?”
“As is known, he was big and scary-looking.….”
The wire lion asked Mael.
“…How did it get by??”
“It was a bit more difficult than this. Well, even then, I went there comfortably thanks to Snowman.….”
The iron lion's gaze shifted from Mael to the snowfall..
This expedition was a difficult mission even for Cheolsaja. However, the two who went against his wishes from the beginning of the expedition were actually the core of the expedition's strength..
The wire lion spoke out of his mouth without realizing it..
“That's amazing... . really.”
“…You must be a great person..”
“Seeing as I can't accept it, maybe I'm getting old. Hey, what's your name??”
“Mael.”
“The meaning is?”
“star child.”
The wire lion stroked his chin and said.
“You mean well. don't remember.”
“your name is?”
“Neil, this is Neil the Wire Lion. It doesn't matter if you just call me a wire lion.”
“Neil. I will remember.”
“When this is over, we'll all disperse, but I'll make sure to keep your names engraved..”
In any case, there was no particular danger while the expedition went up the mist hills..
The wheels of the carriage continued to turn and they finally passed the border of Adeline..
The news that the expedition had safely passed the border of Adeline was good news for Libra as well..
No matter what, there are people coming who will explain the results clearly..
Doo doo doo doo…
The attention of the magicians residing within the tower was turned entirely to the expedition, to the extent that all work carried out by the Libra Magic Tower was temporarily halted..
“It's coming! I see a procession!”
“Stupid guy! You were supposed to post the report by afternoon! Pay close attention and do it on time….”
“ah! Sorry, sorry.”
It wasn't just the young wizard who paid attention..
“Wow!!”
“The Expedition Returns!”
However, someone poured cold water into the hot atmosphere..
“…There are fewer carriages.”
“Of course it will give….”
“It's decreased too much….”
“…….”
In an instant, all wizards became quiet..
Other magic towers of the Zodiac also sent dispatches to hear the results of this expedition..
Among them, the people who interacted with Snowfall were Blaine and Prine..
“Prine….”
“he… I did it.”
“That scale... Are you saying it was the best??”
“yes Rather, it brought a brighter future than the results I had vaguely seen.!”
Blaine laughed bitterly..
“If so, that's it. He gave me strength.”
Meeeee profit…
Clap.
The carriage door was opened and people got out..
No one looked healthy.
“…….”
chin…
When Frannan got off with one eye bandaged, the gatekeeper was shocked..
“Seo, Your Majesty!”
Frannan said.
“We will report on the results of the expedition and discuss future events, so please summon the other saints immediately..”
* * *
The expedition team felt like monkeys in a zoo..
[start to relax.]
[This is a simple base.]
[Base rest begins.]
[Rest 10. Libra’s Magic Tower]
Rest 10. ‘Libra’s Magic Tower’’
The Magic Tower of Libra, which is in charge of the major axis of the zodiac..
Unlike the normal situation where outsiders cannot stay inside the tower for a long time due to extreme aversion to outsiders, many outsiders are currently staying inside the tower..
Those who participated in the expedition can currently leave only after the expedition's treatment is decided according to the guidelines inside the tower..
Adventurers must fully rest and train here or at other rest areas and prepare for the next adventure..
Goal: rest and maintenance.
I feel tired when I fail to achieve my goals.
Current remaining time 「Unknown」
‘Does the time limit run out only after the expedition's results are reported? This is a good thing. rather than that….’
Snowfall was now in a breathtaking space with Frannan..
The other members of the expedition team are taking a rest after undressing, so why is he sitting with Frannan looking so shabby?.
That was because he was a person very deeply involved in this expedition..
Lidwen and Cartezin.
The two, another sign of Libra, were sitting across from Kang Seol and Frannan with grim expressions..
Cartejin, with his finely grown white beard, said:.
“Are you telling us to believe that now??”
“If you don't believe it?”
“You're crazy... Totally crazy….”
“Libra is dead. No, more accurately, it was mixed with the spirit of great evil..”
“For something to be said after losing the majority of the expedition, it has no context.….”
At that time, Bornuil, in the form of Ur, intervened..
“Oh hohoho… Cartejin, you're still holding on to useless things..”
“…Borneuil?”
“Haven't I told you repeatedly that it's blocking your progress? Oh hohoho… is not it?”
“See, Borneuil! Are you really a scale??”
“I don't know how to make you believe it, but it's true anyway. I'm Bornouil..”
Bornuil told them everything that had happened in Alcatron and the expedition's struggles..
“Frannan's eyes are like that….”
“It's a shame, but there was no way. The way he made his decision was also great..”
“…….”
Frannan said.
“We believe that what happened here should not be spread..”
“what! no then….”
“I also agree. If they hear a rumor that a great evil has come out into the world, magic-mad people and power-craving monarchs will immediately try to dissect Bornuil..”
“ha… That's a difficult problem. Can we silence the expedition team??”
“If you give enough compensation, word won't spread before you're ready. Isn't it??”
“This is a wise statement. We will prepare a compensation plan based on the report..”
“great.”
Ridwen said, looking at Bornuil..
“But… Do you intend to perform the duties of the tower owner in that body??”
“why do i do that?”
“…yes?”
“I am a publicly dead person. Libra has lost its top lord, so it must welcome a new top lord. We need your opinion.”
Bornuil looked around at the three of them carefully and said,.
“Which of these three suits Libra?.”
“…….”
“…….”
Frannan closed his eyes and the other Aspects rolled their eyes. Frannan looked exhausted..
Cartejin said.
“Frannan, you messed up my research once before. Do you remember?”
“ah… that? I was just trying to help, but the result was wrong..”
“to apologize.”
“what?”
“Apologize right now.”
“It's useless... I get it. I still feel sorry about that..”
“good night. Then I want you to be my scale.”
Ridwen glanced at Cartejin, and Frannan responded with a dumbfounded expression..
“what?”
“After forgiving what happened back then, you are the most suitable wizard for Libra..”
“You're crazy... A drunkard….”
“This is something I have been thinking about for a long time. This was before you even left. It's just happening as nature goes..”
Lidwen also agreed..
“yes. It's something we've shared for a long time. The issue of who will be the next Libra. Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk….”
“Among us?”
Lidwen and Cartejin looked at each other..
“Yurin, her opinion was fully reflected..”
“…Yurin?”
“She always praised you. Except for the bleak part... Well, she's still pretty, but she's a lot better now.?”
Frannan seemed to be out of his mind and kept repeating Yurin's name..
“Yurin… me….”
“You are a great wizard, Frannan. It seems you're not the only one who doesn't think so..”
“…….”
“Even if it’s just for Yurin’s sake, become a scale.”
At that time, Bornouil once again entered the conversation..
“Oh hohoho! We'll talk about it later among ourselves, but for now we'll have to prioritize treating our guests..”
“That's right, this kid saved the expedition.?”
“In a broader sense, bigger things were also saved..”
“And I plan to be with Bornuil in the future... I guess I'll have to compensate separately..”
Ridwen, Cartesin, and Bornouil shared their opinions..
“How about a lie-detecting baton??”
“It's old-fashioned..”
“What about a pair of male and female fantasy butterflies??”
“It is not a return that an adventurer can manage..”
“then….”
I don't like this, I don't like that either.
Bornuil refused everything they proposed, giving reasons..
“this… Are you doing this on purpose??”
“Is there something you want? You're being unreasonable, aren't you??”
“Oh hohoho… is it?”
“Tell me what you want.”
Bornuil took a quick look and put in the firewood for them to burn..
“crown of order.”
Grumbling…
Come on…
“Borneuil!”
“Are you sane??”
“Oh hohoho….”
Bornouil just laughed, as if he was embarrassed..
