31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 187)
Crumbling!
Black lightning almost turned the interior of the basement into a honeycomb..
The space that used to be full of empty steel cages was now littered with flattened steel plates everywhere..
Kwasik!
Kwazisig!
Fortunately, Gyeong-taek Cho and his group were far away from Kangseol, so if they had observed this scene right next to them, they would have been destroyed by the storm of shadows..
Kuuuuk…
I was impressed by the snowfall that grasped Coco's roots..
I've been controlling the storm by holding onto the source for quite some time, but no significant changes have occurred yet..
‘Now the shadows have shrunk considerably.….’
The essence of the shadow that filled the space had already been sucked into Coco's source for a long time, and if it continued like this, it seemed like the storm would stop before it could be revived..
‘Was there not enough shadow??’
at that time.
Ppajik…
The core of Coco held by Snowfall began to crack..
“uh…?”
- You're finally responding now. It's a normal reaction, so pay attention..
The snow calmly obeyed the power emanating from the source..
Kwazijic…
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
‘…The source is broken!’
The black sphere shattered..
I thought for a moment that something might be wrong, but that was just unfounded..
Whirly rilirik-!
The black storm that surrounded him swirled and became smaller..
Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss For…
And then it disappeared completely.
However, Coco was not seen anywhere around..
panting…
When I looked back, I saw Coco sticking her head out from the shadow space..
It was a much better looking face than before..
[enlightenment! creates a new creature.]
[The new creation is a happy Coco.]
[The creature takes over Coco's memory of starving.]
[The creature inherits some of Hungry Coco's abilities.]
[New creation attributes are set to Sticky Darkness.]
[The new creature type is set to be a medium beast..]
[New related abilities can now be derived.]
[enlightenment! Creatures awaken new abilities.]
[Creatures can use Territory Marks.]
[enlightenment! Creatures awaken new abilities.]
[Constructs can now use Purgatory Flames.]
[enlightenment! Creatures awaken new abilities.]
[Creatures can now use bosses.]
[enlightenment! Creatures awaken new abilities.]
[Creatures can use Black Flesh.]
panting…
Coco sneakily exits the shadow space and rubs her head at Snowfall's feet..
- Mado is the best! Mado is the future!
- The best training, Ur! I will accept your advice!
- Coco, the cutest girl in the province, is back, so everyone get ready to go for a walk!
- The true teacher of this era, Ur!
Snowfall said while stroking Coco's head..
“Not all abilities are passed down.?”
- The obvious! Have you forgotten that it was not originally harvested as a summoned beast, but recreated as a creature? With your current shadow space, there is no way to use Coco as a summon. I feel fortunate that I can at least handle it like this..
Coco's abilities, which were full when we met at Alkatron, have suddenly decreased like beer with no foam..
‘Still, I'm glad they all have decent abilities.….’
Black Assassin is a sneak attack in the shadow space, and Boss is to raise the stats of all creatures, including the self, by 20%..
‘Purgatory Flame is an ability that existed before... Show area?’
As Snowfall was checking information about territory markings, Ur said:.
- It is the power of the shadow wolf. No, more accurately, it is the power of the subordinate shadow wolf..
‘…The shadow space continues to increase.?’
- Yes, as long as the shadow wolf stays in your shadow, your shadow space naturally expands. If you wait a little longer, there will be at least some breathing space in this narrow space..
Snowfall, who had no idea Coco had such absurd powers, stroked her chin..
Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk….
However, Coco was drawing attention to Kang Seol and was trying to swallow something..
【I... Please save me! This guy is trying to bite me!】
Snowfall realized by looking at the empty lantern that what Coco was rolling in her mouth was grief..
【I am not a cookie! No! It will definitely upset your stomach! Because it's true?】
Snowfall quickly rescues the heartbreak from Coco's mouth..
Grief safely entered the lamp and closed the door..
【Huh... Huh... Ugh… The smell of saliva. This shame... I'll make sure to pay you back, you damn mutt! hey! Please make sure the door is locked properly, yes.?】
Hehehe…
The snowfall closed the door of the lamp filled with sorrow..
Anyway, with the successful completion of Coco's resurrection, the entire purpose of coming here has been resolved..
‘Well, at the same time, Malachus' grudge has been resolved... I also obtained information about the Church of Eternal Life. And to solve Coco and Rihanna's problems at once?.’
I gained a lot from this adventure compared to the time invested..
Gyeong-taek felt sorry for Kang-seol for going out on his behalf, but in fact, Kang-seol was about to thank him..
Especially when it comes to helping me find Rian..
* * *
A few days later, Jo Kyung-taek and his party became anxious when they remembered that this terrible incident had all happened in the Gatif family, a noble family..
“Brother, what happens now? They're capturing us in Nevenia.?”
“That won't happen.”
“but….”
“I know it when I see it.”
Gyeong-taek Cho and his group found it hard to believe Kang Seol's boasts, but they knew that he was not the type of person to lie out of thin air, so they waited..
And after a while, like Kang Seol said, things started to work out smoothly..
《I really had an accident..》
“I'm sorry.”
《Not you. What is there to be sorry for? They are all guilty, so they are being punished..》
A young man was holding a crystal ball.
The person Kang Seol was talking to was the man reflected in the crystal ball..
The man in the crystal ball was Count Brispin. Before heading to Gatif Street, Snowfall first informed Brispin of this fact by express..
It was simply written that various situations could occur, but when I opened the lid, it was like a head-on collision between the Gatif family and their predecessor, Snowfall..
Brispin said, smoothing his mustache..
《It was a friendly relationship that had been going on for quite some time. The first targets were wandering adventurers, but now it seems they have extended their reach to transferees as well. Fortunately, there is a lot of evidence left, so there will be no chance of being attacked in return..》
“Thank you for your kindness.”
《I didn't do anything in particular... However, I have two concerns..》
“I will listen.”
Count Brispin spoke..
《First, rumors about the Gatif family's evil deeds have already leaked out. This will intensify the conflict between the settlers and the natives. This is not a good situation for Nevenia, who is already in a very tense state..》
“…….”
“Second, it is a problem regarding the Yeongsaeng Church..”
Count Brispin, who was staring at Snowfall's face, spoke about the Church of Eternal Life..
《They could be coming for you.》
“Looks like it's already tangled.”
《They are afraid. It is difficult to view them simply as a religious group... In particular, the inaction of the leader of the cult is not easy to believe even if you only hear of the rumors left behind..》
“You should be careful.”
《Please, be careful..》
Afterwards, Seris Gatif was put under pension..
It seemed likely that there would be discussions about her future treatment at Nevenia Royal Castle..
After things ended with Kyung-taek Cho, I broke up with him right away. Kang Seol couldn't do anything more than this, and Kyung Taek had no intention of accepting it either..
If a human gives an ant water because it appears to be thirsty, the water will eventually harm the ant..
Kyung-taek Kyung-taek should be satisfied with just seeing each other's faces occasionally. If they continued to move together, it would be detrimental not only to Kang-seol but also to Kyung-taek Jo..
- that… Did you go??
- I think I went?
- This is the time!
It was only after Seol Seol was separated from his group that he was able to check the rewards he had obtained from this adventure..

……
Ability score acquisition messages keep coming up endlessly. The basic amount of ability points gained from a linked adventure is only 2, but somehow the additional amount gained reached 4 times that amount..
- this… korean affection?
- 4What is a serving like a serving?…
- Auntie, I didn’t order this.…
However, the disappointing thing was that the items obtained were not that useful..
The Miser's Necklace has the ability to increase the amount of gold earned at the end of the adventure, and the Ring of Brilliant Snowfield has the ability to increase the value of just a jewel embedded in it..
Even though they were all treasure grade, their abilities were very disappointing..
‘Just like Jerry..’
Since the items were far from what Snow Seol wanted, they will all be handed over to the auction house..
The only thing that was useful was the cloak..
[Coat of the Dusky Road]
Grade: Treasure
appropriate level : 28 – 33
defense : 45
stamina : 130/130
Weight: 0.1kg
Cloak of ominous energy.
Contrary to what it looks like, it has very good thermal insulation properties..
Basic abilities: All abilities + 10
Special ability: At night, assimilates with the surroundings. When making a surprise attack while assimilated, all damage dealt increases by 15% for 20 seconds..
It was a cloak that might be used by an assassin or a thief. Karen's cloak was old so I gave it to her as a temporary one..
‘There aren't as many good items on the auction house as I expected..’
The items that sometimes come up are items that can be used by other professions..
Equipment was something that even abundant financial resources could not control, so this actually worked against the leading group..
Since the items used by the leading group can be effectively used by the latecomers, it becomes easier to catch up..
‘Still, it's a good thing that I can't wear screaming equipment..’
Because Ur was a spirit, it was impossible to wear equipment. If I had to set up equipment all the way to Ur, the snowfall would have been quite a headache..
After completing maintenance, snowfall is slowly preparing to leave..
Now there was just one thing left to do before leaving the Timbrian..
“What did you visit for??”
In the black night, a man wearing a robe asks in a low voice.
[This is a place to study black magic. The instructor residing here will ask you about your business. what would you do?]
1. [Required: Ability Points] I want to learn a new ability.
2. [Required: Ability Points] I want to strengthen my existing abilities.
3. I want to spar. Is there a suitable partner??
4. [Required: State of enlightenment] I would like to work as an educator here.
5. The person in charge of this place has business to attend to..
“This is because of strengthening and acquiring abilities..”
“I see, the Timbrian branch charges a small fee for private rooms... Are you okay? Whatever you do, it's open….”
“It doesn't matter.”
On the contrary, since Kangseol had been in a difficult situation in a public place, he wanted to give me a private room in exchange for money..
- please take this money!
- brother! brother! That's not how you do it…
- Why is the ability tree red and black??
- Did you put ketchup on it? brother? brother?
- Ouch! Jammin is bombing!
“Then this way….”
Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
The door closed, and when Snowfall put her hand on it, an ability tree appeared on the wall..
Ujijik…
I feel like it's more lush than before.
Snowfall's ability tree was a combination of red and black..
Whirling-!
Ur randomly jumped out and looked at the snowfall ability tree..
“like… I thought it was amazing, but it seems like something quite interesting has seeped into the tree.?”
“Move.”
“Umm… I've grown well in my own way, but... The level is far from sufficient..”
Kangseol tilted his head at Ur’s words..
“It's not enough?”
“In particular, even though you use creatures that much, you have no talent for special summons..”
“That's right... Because I was negligent.”
In the first place, it was Kangseol who only focused on summoning magic without even looking at the creatures..
‘Because I didn't have enough skill points so far..’
Ur said.
“How do you feel? This time, follow my words?”
“your words?”
“Okay, now that you've acquired a powerful creature, how about putting it to use? To let it rot like this is like burying treasure in the ground..”
“Umm….”
Currently, Snowfall has reached a level of summoning skill that exceeds what she aimed for in the low-level section. So, since there is nothing urgent right now, I became interested in what Ur said..
“What kind of ability is it??”
“You have to look for it to find out..”
“You have to look for it to find out?”
Ur said as he approached the wall..
“Have you forgotten? This body is like a teacher to all magicians..”
His eyes contained the tree of power..
“I am the magician and the beginning of everything..”
[The sealed magic path of Ur is activated..]
[Interpret the ability tree.]
[Interpreting the ability tree.]
[Ability tree analysis is complete.]
“…what?”
“Now, let's try some strength.?”
Whirly rilirik!
Ur was sucked into the power tree.
- Uh oh?
- What! There are people here... No, the spirit entered.!
- what did i just see?
It feels like watching a fairy tale put into pictures. As expected, there has been an unprecedented change in the ability tree..
Churrrrrp…
A serpent was moving on the snowfall tree..
- What is that guy!@!!
- pull it out!!!
- Crazy hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
- All respect. Ur, the progenitor of magic, became a serpent..
- Is it a hollow??
the snake said.
“I need to clean up some of the mess. We are wasting the nutrients needed for new power to germinate..”
fighting…
fighting…
The fruit that snowfall could never capture fell to the ground along with the branches..
[Cleavage falls off the tree.]
[Panic trigger falls off the tree.]
……
- Take me! ur!
- Magic is the future! Mado is the best!
“after… Maybe it's because it's been a while, but I won't be able to stay for long. Just this much this time. next….”
Ur headed towards the branch where creature-related abilities were intertwined and clicked his tongue..
“Tsk tsk… This is how it is... that is… Where did you hide??”
The snake even went behind the tree where the snowfall couldn't see..
shirilik…
shirilik…
Urga, who had been looking for something for a while, appeared with a sharp stem in her mouth..
There were dark red fruits hanging there..
And that fruit was said to be the largest fruit that Snowfall could currently harvest..
“This….”
