31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 186)
Jerry said, putting his head down to the ground to avoid eye contact with Karuna..
“Why are you doing this to me? why….”
Crash…
In response to Jerry's shameless attitude, Gyeongtaek gritted his teeth and said,.
“How can you be so shameless about a subject you hunted by dragging a former person into it??”
“ah… Is it because of the dead transferor? You had a colleague too, right? They weren't very strong... I'll compensate you! You just have to compensate! That's it then?”
“compensation… It's a reward!”
Gyeong-taek Kyung-taek was angry at Jerry's reaction and tried to harm her. However, he could not achieve it because his colleagues were holding on to his arms..
Jerry had no idea what was wrong with what he had just said..
It's like an expression that says, 'Why are you so angry when you say you'll compensate?'.
Kang Seol looked down at her and asked.
“Ryan Kuros. Why did you turn him into a shadow??”
“Rihanna? Ah, that troublesome... Is it because of the shadow that doesn't sell? Don't say anything! I'll give it to you for free!”
“No, I'm asking about the circumstances. Why did you turn Rian into a shadow??”
Jerry desperately tried to survive..
However, the words she chose only made Kang Seol's heart heavier..
“Wow, wandering adventurers have less work to do... No one is looking for me….”
“This man had a place to go.”
“Did you do that? I did not know. It's a shame. huh? How much is it? I'll compensate you.”
As Jang Sachi continued to play with his tongue, Kang Seol asked..
“How much do you think it will be??”
Jerry couldn't answer that dangerous question quickly..
Without waiting for her answer, Kang Seol made another request..
“Tell me what you know about Yeongsaenggyo.”
“zero… About living school?”
“okay.”
“If you tell me, I will save your life.?”
Kang Seol said with an expressionless face..
“No, I won't bring it back..”
“…….”
Her death was certain..
Kang Seol was already treating her like a corpse. That's because her life was like a fly that would fly away with just one wave of her hand..
Jerry didn't want to die.
However, with all her wisdom, she couldn't think of a way out of this hellish moment..
she had to take her time.
“W, how much do you know about Yeongsaengyo??”
“A cult united around a cult leader.”
“It's not wrong... Then let me explain from the beginning.?”
Jerry thought it was better.
The more we talked, the more time I had to find his loopholes, and during that time, I thought Seris Gatif might do something..
The latter was honestly hard to expect, but it was still the only rope that could save her in this situation..
“Yeongsaenggyo originated from the birth of Demon, who was later called Immortal. He became the leader of the cult and gathered many people under his command..”
“and?”
“There were some evil people among them that they couldn't deal with, but they were obedient to the immortals. And the rumor that the Church of Eternal Life engaged in evil acts against Pandea is a somewhat fabricated rumor. Sure, he did some bad things, but it was all under the surface.….”
“Hey, it seems like they're intentionally spinning the story to add some flesh, but what I'm curious about is the Eternal Life Church after the Buddha left..”
“After the immortal left… You're talking about the recent Eternal Life Church. Ah Okay. After Immortal left to become a god, the Eternal Church was divided into four tribes..”
“The tribes were divided?”
Originally, Yeongsaenggyo was one gigantic life form..
The great power that came from a single sect was enough to make the name Youngsaengyo Church a symbol of fear..
Jerry responded while looking closely..
“Me, I don’t know, but… Could it be that unity is not working well because of the empty space of immortal existence? There is no central point to unite church members..”
“Yes, which of those tribes are you related to??”
“I have been dealing with Bria, the owner of the Shadow Tribe. If I collected the shadows and offered them to Bria, she would bestow me wealth..”
“hmm… Briara… However, I know that this method is not the method of the Yeongsaeng Church..”
Jerry bowed his head in surprise..
“…For quite some time now, Yeongsaenggyo has been focusing on gathering strength..”
“Why??”
She looked up at the snowfall.
And then he said something shocking..
“Resurrection... Because it's imminent.”
“…what?”
“immortality… Uh oh….”
Jerry suddenly couldn't speak and drooled. She began to have small veins around her eyes..
And then.
Fuwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Blood and flesh splattered all over the group..
“Wow!!”
“…….”
Jerry's head exploded like a watermelon..
[Killed Jerry the Merchant.]
[Jerry's valuables are created.]
[Adventure objective met.]
[When the time limit runs out or you select a reward, you can finish the adventure..]
Ur said as if he was in trouble..
- Was this the reason for the uneasy feeling I was feeling earlier? The level is reasonable for an allusion.?
‘Should I revive it??’
- Haven’t you heard everything? And as I said before, your shadow space is completely empty right now. It would be best not to even think about new summons for the time being..
It's not an easy sight to see a person's head exploding like a bomb right in front of your eyes, so Snow Seol couldn't just act calmly..
‘By the way, it’s resurrection… Immortality is coming back?’
- immortality? Do you know this guy??
‘know.’
You can't say you don't know.
Because the immortal was also Kang Seol himself..
“anyway… first….”
Slurp…
But suddenly, a shadow came out of Jerry's dead body..
It was the shadow of a different woman than Jerry..
“you are… What is it? What have you done to my cute minion??”
“…what are you?”
- like… That wasn't a general implication. no wonder….
The shadow woman's expression scrunched up..
“okay… You killed my cat..”
“Are you Bria??”
“…I'll find you and turn you into a shadow.”
Kang Seol smiled, showing his teeth..
When it came to horses, he sometimes showed signs of madness..
“I'll find you first.”
“joy….”
Puhwaaaak!
When Snowfall waved her hand, Bria's shadow was crushed like paint..
Kang Seol shook his hands and did not think her appearance was a big deal..
[Power: Your influence over the Church of Eternal Life increases..]
[Power: Changes to a hostile relationship with the Yeongsaeng Church.]
[Force: May clash with Yeongsaeng Church.]
[Force: Yeongsaeng Church is very interested in your actions..]
- I have a feeling that we will collide often.….
Kangseol did not respond to Ur's words at all. It just happened..
Rather, there was something important left to do..
So many shadows met death at the hands of Karen that it was almost annihilating..
However, there was still a living shadow.
“Ugh… Ughhh….”
Lian, whose speech was still slurred, was his shadow..
Kang Seol approached Lian, who was not coming out of the cage..
The extremities of Lian's body were horribly crushed, and the shadows from his body were disappearing endlessly into the air..
The collapse accelerated when his owner, Jerry, died..
crispy…
Rihanna's right foot was broken..
thud…
Ryan lost his balance and fell down.
- This guy… It's on the verge of disintegration..
‘…Could it be??’
- If you fiercely refuse to become a shadow with even a little bit of intelligence left, it is not impossible. Perhaps the signs of collapse came a long time ago..
‘How to avoid it?’
- does not exist.
‘Right.’
Kangseol made eye contact with Rian..
“Ugh… Ughhh….”
It seemed like Kang Seol knew what he was saying..
“at home… I want to go?”
Lian, who barely had any left, nodded desperately..
Kang Seol bit his lips and said.
“Let's go back, home.”
Hiccup-
Only then did Lian smile brightly..
and.
Pussssss…
It became a shadow and scattered.
Snowfall traced the spot where he had scattered..
But all I could hold on to was regret and pity..
[‘The legacy of ‘Rian Kuros’ begins..]
Rian's memories poured into Kang Seol..
* * *
This is Ryan's memory.
“Rian, what are you laughing at so much??”
“Because this adventure is the last. I'm really going to hit you now.”
“In all the time I've been doing this job, I've never seen anyone as talented as you... You say you quit every time.”
“There's a person who suits everything. People like me are not capable of doing good things. They are small-minded and immature at handling things..”
“It's getting better, right? Then it's done, isn't it??”
Lian replied with a grin..
“On the one hand, it may be becoming dull. Sorry, I'm really not into this..”
“Okay… I can't help it. But every time I said I was quitting, I was never told what I would do if I quit..”
“Want to hear it??”
“I can't stand being curious. tell me.”
At the words of a fellow adventurer, Lian shared his plan..
“With the money I've saved so far, I'm going to cultivate a field near my house..”
“Huh? That's all?”
“yes. Still, it's something I never dreamed of before doing this..”
“Hmm….”
“I rented land from a landowner and did a sharecropping... There was a day when a son of a bitch came in fighting with the landowner's son..”
“Oh my... so?”
“I scolded the bastard. Without even asking why he fought. It turned out that the landowner's son had been teasing my son by calling him the son of a poor man..”
“…….”
“I couldn't say a word. Because it's true.”
Lian's eyes were watery..
“Because I'm poor.”
“rian….”
“Poverty is scarier than infectious diseases..”
“what does that mean?”
“It's not only hard on me, it's hard on everyone around me. Poverty is... It's contagious like that..”
“So you became an adventurer..”
“Yes, I benefited a lot thanks to you. ha ha ha!”
Lian said, dreaming of his distant hometown..
“I will till the field. Not someone else's field, but this Ryan's field.”
“Hehehe… Interesting.”
“Is pumpkin good for you? I also thought about grapes.….”
“Whatever it is, do whatever you want. But you know what?”
“yes?”
“You, who are always in tears, are smiling at least when you talk about your family.?”
“…….”
“I guess I miss my family more than shaking off poverty..”
“Maybe so.”
“Go back. Now I can live as a proud father..”
Shortly after this conversation, Rian was attacked by unidentified monsters and collapsed, bleeding from his head..
“rock… Baby… to do….”
blurred vision.
And the regrets.
“me… Go home... to do….”
* * *
With that memory in mind, Kang Seol, relieved of her headache, clenched her teeth..
The emotions that Rian felt pierced Kang Seol’s heart without any filtering..
“Whoop….”
I felt nauseous.
“Tongue, bro? are you okay?”
“ha… ha….”
Hyomin, a member of Jo Kyung-taek's group, was surprised to see Kang Seol's face..
“Look at the cold sweat! Something….”
“no… it's okay.”
[‘I inherited the legacy of Lian Kurosu..]
[Passing on the powers of the dead.]
[Innate Talent: Inherits the Traveler's Compass.]
[You can use the traveler's compass on your adventures.]
[Calling: The contents of the things that need to be recovered are changed..]
‘In the end, did this ability come back??’
Rihanna's innate talent came back to Kangseol again..
The traveler's compass was a highly valuable ability among innate talents, also known as game changers..
The capabilities of this compass were very simple.
A visual representation of the direction and distance of the adventure goal..
And now, the adventure in which Snowfall uses this compass is…
[Use the traveler's compass for your calling: things that need to be recovered.]
[The compass shakes.]
dddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd…
A huge arrow suddenly appeared in his field of vision..
‘Far away, and southwest? … no way?’
When I looked at the map drawn in my head, there was one thing that came to mind:.
‘I'm not sure, but... I'll have to check it out.’
Snowfall, who acquired the traveler's compass, can now set out to find traces of his sleeping horse throughout Pandea..
Perhaps, we will reach that goal much faster than before..
After Urga Kangseol finished telling the story, he spoke to me..
- like… It's funny, I just felt a mysterious force coming over you. Is it your strength??
‘Well, there are various reasons….’
Gyeong-taek, who did not know that Kang-seol was talking to Ur, was worried and asked about him..
“brother? It's okay?”
“Yes, Gyeongtaek..”
“What a relief. first….”
“Gyeongtaek, can you give me just a moment??”
“yes? Ah, okay.”
“Okay, just stay away from me for a moment..”
Having witnessed the power of snowfall, it was no wonder that a feeling of awe developed in the group..
Gyeong-taek Cho and his group retreated and were close to the wall. Ur, who roughly guessed why Kang Seol told Gyeong-taek to step down, said..
- Tsk tsk… I never thought I would find this amount of shadow essence so quickly. I guess you're lucky.
Still, Coco's resurrection remains..
‘How do I wake Coco up??’
- Simple. Just draw it in your head like you did when you created your crow. However, hold the source tightly in your hands..
Kangseol took out Coco's source from her arms..
- get started.
When Kangseol closed his eyes and concentrated, the black beads pulsated..
Exciting…
Exciting…
And at the same time, the black haze that spread around, or the essence of shadow, began to rotate violently around the snowfall..
Whioooooooooooo-!
“I… What is that?”
“…What are you doing now??”
Crumbling rumbling-!
In the black haze, whenever lightning struck, a trace of a wolf shape appeared and disappeared in an instant..
- Resurrection is imminent! wake him up!
Kang Seol smiled and held onto Coco's roots tightly, in a way that did not match the tragic situation..
“Come here, Coco... I have to go for a long walk.”
Whioooooooo-!
The shadow vibrated violently at those words..
