31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 195)
This was in the early days when Kangseol was planning the grave robber's residence, which is now a tomb..
“So why is this….”
A man stuck in a corner alone and unable to take his eyes off the game board.
A god wearing a strangely shaped mask covered in leaves and branches was playing the game alone..
He was a player who mainly enjoyed solo play..
The snowfall approached him..
“I… paulownia plump paulownia tree.”
“so why… uh? Snowman, what's going on??”
Paulownia Tongtong Paulownia was a famous player at the time..
In contrast, Snowfall was relatively discouraged as she had never left a significant mark while playing the world of eternity..
“I have a favor to ask you..”
“ask? iced coffee… ask!”
The paulownia tree was unusual. He did not socialize with others and only enjoyed playing games alone..
Nevertheless, it was because of his words that his name became quite famous..
“Since you helped me last time, of course I should help you too. Of course, this is somewhat empty talk. Actually, I don't want to do you a favor..”
“…….”
He also had a unique personality.
“The golemologist is still alive.?”
“Isn’t the greeting too harsh??”
“ah….”
“yes It's alive! It was made until the end of the season. this is a secret.”
“That season!”
At that time, even considering that the Eternal World was in its infancy, there was a severe shortage of top players..
The reason is that if you do something, everyone ends up dying on the adventure, so everyone avoided risky adventures, and as a result, growth slowed down significantly..
Sometimes, there are players who successfully complete a series of dangerous adventures, but ultimately die in vain..
In other words, the words that reminded us of the seasons themselves were not common..
However, when Kang Seol came to see this man and told him that he had created a season that can be said to be a symbol of a top player, the young Kang Seol couldn't help but widen his eyes..
Anyone who is an expert in their field is bound to look at them with envy. Snowfall was like that too..
“and… That's amazing. When will I at least step on the threshold of the season??”
“Hahaha! That might be too much, but Snowman can see the buds too..”
“really?”
“Of course, these are empty words..”
“…….”
This is why I turn around.
The young Kang Seol endured the discomfort of conversation and continued speaking..
“So please….”
“Please?”
“I was given a blank sentinel golem.….”
“I heard. It would have been a loss-making transaction. Wasn't the treasure traded quite valuable??”
“yes. Still, the golem is more urgent than that.….”
“A sentinel golem like that would not be able to protect anything.….”
“…so please help me….”
The paulownia tree opened its mouth..
“ah! Is remodeling a request??”
“yes that's right.”
“When it comes to golems, plump paulownia trees are their specialty. remodeling? Of course, I'm not doing it. Now I'm just showing off what my horse will do! Rather, you want to modify it in some way.?”
“So the direction you want to remodel is….”
After hearing the whole story, the paulownia tree expressed disapproval..
“hmm… Are you okay? Efficiency can be improved, but it would be a waste to keep it in a treasure trove..”
“Anyway, my strength comes from a treasure trove..”
“And just because you use the treasure's abilities doesn't mean you're invincible. Among treasures, there are often things that have restrictions that are comparable to those of monsters..”
“Still, I can't protect it without that. My fighting ability is rather mediocre..”
“…great! So let’s get started right away! Snowman’s treasure trove… No, what was it??”
“Goal run. Grave Robber Golan.”
“From now on, I will be training an invincible golem to protect the grave robber Golan's warehouse.!”
“Wow!”
“Of course, it's not me who makes it, it's my words that make it, so please cheer in moderation.!”
“…yes.”
As expected, Paulownia was a difficult man..
* * *
Snowfall briefly remembers the story of how the large sentinel golem came here..
I felt like the memories of that time were coming back..
Adventure 25-2. ‘The giant outside the mouse hole’’
We've avoided the worst case scenario of losing our lives to rocks falling from the ceiling, but that doesn't mean we're in a good situation..
The good news is that we found out that the ground here is very unstable..
You found your way forward and found a hole that the grave rats used..
This mouse hole appears to be a passage used by grave rats to escape with treasure from the treasure trove..
Over there, I see a door leading forward..
But there is also a huge golem spinning in front of it..
I guess I'll have to do something with that golem to get out of here..
Goal: Defeat the golem or move to the next gate without being detected..
Current remaining time: approximately 2 days」
Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
Cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure…
A golem remodeled by a paulownia tree was circling the treasure trove..
A large pillar was erected in the center, and the golem continued to circle around it..
Cooung…
Cooung…
Karen tilted her head and said.
“why? Just destroy it.?”
Both Snowfall and Ur showed their disapproval..
[Intermediate insight works.]
[Physical shock mitigation is at work.]
[Elemental Damage Mitigation is working.]
[Power is at work.]
[A brilliant mirror at work.]
[Vitality regeneration is at work.]
[Elemental Restoration is at work.]
[Thorn armor is in action.]
……
There were countless other messages posted. Snowfall was silent for a moment.
‘Was the remodeling too outrageous??’
A masterpiece created with great effort by the paulownia tree..
Snowfall's Seonjian read the information of the golem passing in front of him..
[Masterpiece: Paulownia Tree Sentinel]
Rank: Hero
estimated level : 32~36
Sentinel golems always appear wherever important items are located. However, it is slow, dull and clumsy..
However, the watchman of the paulownia tree is different..
If you wonder why there are so few corpses when so many people have targeted this treasure trove, just check under the feet of this golem..
As long as there is treasure, it will be difficult to suppress the watchman in this space..
Surprisingly, this golem is not made of paulownia wood..
Basic Abilities: [Temporary Storage 3], [Treasure Power 5], [No Sparing 3], [Annihilation 5], [Self-Regeneration] 5]
Special Ability: [Passive: Golem's Realm 2]
Snowfall read the information from the paulownia tree watchman and thought for a moment..
‘If the sentinel is working properly, you can't squeeze in..’
The door through which the watchman had just passed came into his sight..
‘The watchman uses the power of treasure. It's not easy to subdue the watchman inside this treasure trove..’
Golem that uses the power of treasure.
It was a masterpiece created by paulownia plump paulownia tree after modification after modification..
- What is that backpack that the golem is wearing??
- If you put treasure in there, doesn’t it count??
- Looks like a crazy old man.
As viewers pointed out, there was a basket-like space on the paulownia watchman's back..
Ur spoke in a hesitant voice..
- It seems possible to destroy it, but it would take too long. The barrier that can be felt alone is more than ten layers. It would take an entire day to break such an ignorant piece of metal. If you get hit even once, you're headed straight to the next world..
Karen asked back.
“So what should I do? You can pass by here without that golem knowing.?”
“It's impossible.”
Snowfall spoke clearly..
There is a magic circle installed on the floor in this room..
When unusual movement is detected, information is transmitted to the paulownia tree watchman, and the intrusion is discovered..
“Unless you fly, you're bound to get caught by the golem..”
The Paulownia Watchman's level is only a hero, but he has gained power greater than his capabilities with one condition..
That I can't leave this room.
‘The problem is we have to get through here..’
A choice occurred to Kang Seol..
[This room is guarded by a paulownia tree sentinel. what would you do?]
1. Try talking to the paulownia tree watchman..
2. The paulownia tree watchman tries to sneak in..
3. Search the grave rat's abode.
4. One person gets attention and the others escape..
……
All were inappropriate options..
Particularly in number 3, I was convinced when I saw the miserable corpses of dead rats in the tomb that had exploded on the road leading to this rat hole..
- Colliding with that golem is like forcing the already weak ground to collapse. Head-on collisions must be avoided.
Karen smiled at Ur’s words and asked.
“If it falls apart, you can get it out again.?”
- There is no such magic left. Even then, I barely managed to squeeze out the remaining magic power..
“So what should I do??”
Kang Seol put his hand on his chin and said.
“I think there is one way.….”
“There is a way?”
Ur guessed what Kang Seol was going to say and spoke..
- Are you trying to use that stopwatch??
“I'm a little worried.”
A fair stopwatch used by triplets, or rather by twins since one of them was already dead..
Somehow, when the fair stopwatch came into the hands of Kang Seol, it changed into an unfair stopwatch, and its level changed from a hideous thing to a treasure..
Kangseol was considering whether he could use the stopwatch..
- It's quite a bit of a headache. It seems that the golem uses treasure to repel invaders due to differences in weight... Maybe I should put the treasure in the inlet on that back..
Ur figured out a lot of things about The Paulownia Watchman in that short period of time..
- Tuck it in. It will stop working the way you think it will..
“How can you be sure of that? It may not work on the golem, and the stopwatch may not have much left..”
- You can trust it. At least I guarantee the quality. I can know the remaining time and operating range of the stopwatch..
It was an absurd statement..
“You guarantee quality? why?”
- Because it’s Kagon’s stuff..
“…what?”
- That stopwatch is Kagon's item. I knew it at a glance.
“I'm talking about the empire you lived in.?”
- okay.
It's absurd, but the stopwatch was suspicious from the time I first got it..
“Although his abilities were so absurd,….”
The ability to gain strength by burning one's life... It was definitely not a common thing.
- To correct this, I'm not manipulating lifespan, I'm manipulating time. Kagon had advanced magic capabilities to the point where this was possible..
“Adjusting the time?….”
- At the time I was imprisoned, Kagon's magic system was divided into two. Time and words. This is a by-product of time magic..
“But then, is it right to use it here??”
If it was such a valuable item, it was a bit of a waste to use it to defeat the golem..
However, Ur’s judgment was different..
- Having useless items is just a burden. Rather, you need to bring out the magic that is inside you. That watch is like a seashell with a pearl inside..
“pearl?”
- That's the difference between sorcery and magic. Magic uses condensed magical power and the recovery rate is overwhelming. The magic contained in that watch is the same..
“…What do you do with that magic power??”
- Aren’t you still uncomfortable because of my lack of magical power? It's at that level..
“Can’t I take out the magic power of the watch directly??”
- So who starts that clock? For reference, the stopwatch is on the verge of collapse, so whoever uses it will explode..
“…….”
- No one but me can touch that magical power. If an ordinary magician were to covet unique magic power, his entire body would explode and he would die. Unless you are in this body, the origin of magic, you cannot touch such pure, condensed magical power..
- I am not ordinary haha
- First of all, I’m not even a person haha.
- If I die, I die lol.
In the end, I decided to use a watch..
thud… thud…
In the meantime, the paulownia tree sentinel was spinning round and round..
- Who's going to put a watch in it??
snowfall said.
“I have to do it.”
You made it, you destroy it yourself.
- It's coming, get ready..
Whirling…
Snowfall held the watch tightly in her shadow hand and waited for the timing..
thud…
thud…
As the paulownia tree watchman approached, the tremors grew..
Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
‘now!’
The shadow hand of the snowfall carefully placed the stopwatch into the pocket carried by the paulownia watchman..
thud…
thud…
The paulownia watchman showed no reaction and continued to circle the pillar..
“…Nothing happens?”
- Just wait, it's starting now..
At the same time as those words were said, the stopwatch was activated..
[Paulownia Sentinel uses temporary storage.]
[Activates abilities by consuming the durability of stored items.]
[The Paulownia Sentinel uses the power of the treasure..]
[Slightly increases the power of treasures.]
[Treasure: Unfair Pocket Watch activates.]
[All abilities of the Paulownia Sentinel increase by ???%..]
[2Lose ???years of life per second.]
Tick tick…
Suddenly, the sound of the second hand began to be heard..
Cooung…
Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
The paulownia tree watchman rotated around the pillar without fail even though the stopwatch was activated..
‘It will take some time before you know the results..’
However, contrary to his expectations, the response came immediately..
His body was intact until the paulownia tree sentinel was hidden by the other side of the pillar..
Geek…
By the time he got out of the pillar and came into Kang Seol's field of vision, his body was broken in various places..
Pusss…
Pusssss…
Dust flew from the golem's body..
Snowfall opened her eyes wide..
“This is the power of time….”
- To be exact, it is the power of Kagon. It may seem convenient, but it was a skill that was talked about even at the time. Contrary to his words, the side effects were severe. Well, anyway….
Pusss…
Pussssss…
I profit…
The body of the paulownia tree sentinel slowly tilted and finally fell..
Couuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
[Masterpiece: Defeated the paulownia tree sentinel..]
[Additional rewards are given.]
[Achieve the special achievement ‘Blow your nose without using your hands’.]
[Obtain the special title “Invisible Hand”.]
Whioooooooo…
A strong wind blew at the place where the paulownia tree watchman was. A huge blue sphere floated up..
- Excuse me, fairy..
“…uh?”
Whirling…
Karen was sucked into the shadow space..
[The sealed maverick of Ur is activated..]
[Sealed Ur acquires additional stats for the unlocked Karen..]
When Snowfall looked at Ur with wary eyes, Ur waved his finger and said,.
“It is a necessary procedural process. then….”
Grinding…
[The sealed magic path of Ur is activated..]
[Interpreting unidentified magic power.]
……
The blue bead unraveled like a skein of thread and was sucked into Ur’s body..
