31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 204)
Crumbling-!
A powerful thunderbolt that strikes from top to bottom with a thunderous sound.!
Yahum's body was so black that it looked like a shadow..
However, this blow was a blow that controlled the power of the snowfall..
“Can not be done! The ghost king will be angry.!”
“Okay, stop! If Yahum dies, you won't be safe either.!”
Ghosts running wild all over the street.
It was a threat that would normally have been dismissed as nonsense, but what they said was true..
In fact, during the process of upgrading equipment in the world of eternity, there was a case where a manager in the west was killed, and the horses that did that were all killed soon after..
Cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure…
When Yahum fell with his head on the floor, all the demons were shocked and tried to come out..
However, even that stopped when Kang Seol placed her hand on the back of Yahum's fallen head..
I thought that if I made a hasty move here, my head might get crushed like a watermelon..
“Rest assured, I won't kill you..”
“human!”
“Instead, I need to prepare a place where it's comfortable to talk..”
Snowfall took out Jema's jar from her belongings that she had obtained earlier..
“Jema's jar!”
“stop!”
The jar where Ramu, the thunder demon, was sealed..
Ramu, the thunder demon, was an embarrassingly weak demon compared to Yahum, but the jar of Jema that restrained him was the real deal..
If the total value of Jema's jar containing Ramu was 100, then Ramu was only worth 10 and the rest were all worth the value of Jema's jar..
Since it was such a rare and powerful item, it was natural for other ghosts to be scared and embarrassed..
“jamard.”
“okay….”
As Jamad chanted an unknown spell, the amulets attached to Jema's jar emitted light..
Hwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
For a moment, light exploded from inside the complex and a deafening sound rang out..
Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss For…
Yahum turned into smoke and was instantly sucked into Jema's jar..
[Yahum, the master of the Ghost Gate, has been sealed..]
[Now that you have proven your worth, you can demand a suitable reward from the master of the ghost gate..]
[Adventure objective met.]
[When the time limit runs out or you select a reward, you can finish the adventure..]
“Oh, like that!”
“Yahum!”
Snowfall said while holding Jema's jar in her arms..
“What are you doing?”
“…what?”
He gestured to the four pillars on which the tent was spread..
“Put it away.”
“Well, it can't be….”
Sigh…
When Snowfall lifted the jar and showed signs of breaking it, the ghosts were scared..
“Ah, I got it.!”
Except for the two dead ghosts, the remaining ghosts moved in unison and removed the pillar..
Kuguuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
“brother!”
“snowman!”
Snowfall standing awkwardly with blood on the corner of her mouth.
If you remember being sucked into the tent with Yahum, he seemed overly calm..
Yeo-myeong Han and Philia rushed to check on Snowfall’s condition..
“It's okay, it's okay?”
“We have to get out of here! They….”
“But that ghost earlier….”
Knock, Knock.
Snowfall pounded Jema's complex.
“From now on, you just need to keep quiet..”
“yes?”
“Yahum will wake up soon, let's wait a moment..”
Han Yeo-myeong and Philia seemed to have escaped the mental shock while Kang Seol was fighting..
The calm, calm figure was the first thing that caught Kang Seol’s eyes..
‘I still have a lot of regrets..’
The combat performance may have improved slightly, but in Snow's eyes, it was still insufficient..
‘but….’
Considering that this is a place where you need to collect as many as 5 Exalted Exaltations to get there, they may be growing at their own appropriate pace..
After a while, Jema's jar shook slightly..
rattle…
rattle…
“Mmm….”
“He seems to be slowly coming to his senses..”
Yahum's voice seemed to come from a cave..
【What does this look like? no way… I lost?】
“I won, but wouldn't it be more dangerous in some sense to be in there??”
【Hehehe… That too. Ouch… How hard did you get hit? I don't remember a thing..】
Kangseol said with a grin..
“Yeah, it was pretty smashed..”
【Heeheehee! But what are your intentions, keeping me alive instead of killing me??】
“They say that if one of those ghosts kills you, you will reach the ghost king..”
【Yes, that's right! There was a ghost king… If you had killed me, the Ghost King might have hated you. Because the demon king is such an unpredictable guy. however….】
rattle…
【Where did you come from??】
- We're curious about that too..
- I saw it. I grew up just like everyone else
- But he's a good kid.
- I think he must be a regressor haha.
- Teacher, why don't you shorten the novel a little??
Kangseol responded lukewarmly..
“Not really, just like everyone else.”
【no… different. I can feel it. something is different.】
In response to Yahum’s questioning, Kang Seol rolled her eyes and said,.
“so? I guess it’s cozier in there than I thought? When I see you wasting time with these un-poetry stories,?”
【ah! narrow! It's narrow! The thought of living in such a small place makes me want to smash my head in..】
rattle…
【You must have a purpose for sealing me too..】
“of course.”
【Tell me what you want to get in return for releasing me..】
A choice soon occurred to Kang Seol..
[Yahum, the master of the Ghost Gate, appears to be willing to grant your request. What would you ask of him??]
1. I want to take the soul of something someone else left behind..
2. Strengthen the soul of one of the items you have..
3. I am interested in naturalization.
4. Where can you go through the ear gate??
……
“Bring your power to my equipment.”
【It's the same request as them. good night! What object do you want to strengthen??】
Next, the words that came out of Kang Seol’s mouth were truly shocking..
“Everything I brought here.”
【Wow, you're crazy.!】
“Otherwise, why would I have saved you??”
【…….】
Snowfall brought a total of 5 Buddhist treasures here..
‘If the adventure had proceeded normally, there would have been only one strengthening of the Buddhist Expropriation..’
The condition is to create a situation to fight Yahum and defeat him, but not kill him. Snowfall satisfied that unreasonable condition..
【…I'll have to ask the ghost king directly about this..】
“what?”
【Anyway, if the Ghost King raises an issue later on, all the power gained here will be lost. So he asks the doctor before making a problem..】
rattle…
Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss For…
Black smoke billowed out from Jema’s complex. I hope so for a while.
【Okay, the ghost king gave permission..】
“I gave permission?”
【Okay, so break the seal right away..】
Kangseol said while looking at Jamad..
“jamard.”
“I get it.”
Jamard mumbles a spell..
Whioooooooo…
Yahum came out of Jema's jar..
Popping…
“My body became dizzy in that short period of time. Hehehe… where….”
Quasi-profit!
Yahum crushed the jar with his foot. Then he looked down at the three humans and turned and walked back again..
“Follow me, humans..”
* * *
thud…
thud…
The path Yahum walked was a night path with cherry blossom leaves fluttering..
All you see around you is a wide plain. Even that looked black due to the darkness..
“Stick close, humans. If you get lost here, you will never get out alive..”
“what does that mean?”
“Literally. This is a place full of resentment. Because it is a place where ghosts are born. Hehehehe….”
Han Yeo-myeong and Philia tensed at those words and stood close to the center, but Kang-seol went closer to the edge..
Sigh…
Snowfall reaches out her hand in the air for no reason.
That moment.
“Come on!”
“We're together!”
In the darkness, several hands suddenly tried to pull the snowfall..
pot-!
Snow falling quickly.
“Hehehe… how?”
“It's an amazing place.”
“It would be even more amazing that you are not afraid of ghosts.”
Kang Seol nodded..
Indeed, this is a place where hatred and anger bubble up. My heart boiled like lava.
Even though I didn't do anything in particular, my emotions were fluctuating as if I had been hit by a turbulent storm..
And then my heart became infinitely cold again. It's so cold that I never want to set foot in the human world again..
Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss For…
Cherry blossom petals scattered.
It was beautiful and mysterious, but at the same time vain..
“would be dead.”
Everyone's attention was focused on what Yahum said over his shoulder..
“You two.”
Those two are Han Yeo-myeong and Philia..
Han Yeomyeong and Philia looked at each other once, then looked at Yahum..
“You two wouldn't even be able to overcome 12 ghosts. If it weren't for that human, you would have been dead. Perhaps the soul was crushed, refined, and reborn..”
“…….”
“…yes.”
“The stride length is probably different. Like adults and children. You idiots may not have realized it, but it was as if you were protected by that man. Well, hehehe... It's none of my business.”
Yeo-myeong Han and Philia also had guesses in their hearts. All of this went according to Kang Seol's plan..
They found it difficult to even breathe just by facing Yahum's presence..
However, after confronting the giant Yahum, Snowfall packed him into a small jar and returned..
What more do I need to say? It was just a story about the difference between people..
‘too… You're strong.’
I thought I was catching up a bit, but instead I was walking further away..
In an age where violence was rampant, Snowfall continued to reign as order..
Yahum said to a group of people.
“you! You can't control your anger.!”
“…….”
“Clumsy and clumsy. Basically, if the person wielding the knife is clumsy, they just cut their own fingers... Hehehe!”
He also said something to Philia..
“Coming here with an infinitely weak heart... What suits you is a punishment, not a reward... I was lucky! Because I met that man.”
“…….”
“Well, luck is also one of the most important things in life, so it is not a flaw..”
Yahum stood tall..
“We're all here.”
At the place we arrived, there was an altar and nothing else..
“Pass the item here.”
Work began with Philia’s items. Yahum muttered as he placed Philia's bow on the altar..
Hehehehehehehehe!
Hahahahahaha!
A deafening sound echoed from all directions, and something like a sticky thread continued to enter the bow..
Grumbling!
A ghost fire stuck to the bow for a moment and then disappeared..
Kang Seol looked at the scene and was lost in thought..
‘That's naturalization….’
In fact, naturalization was not the exclusive domain of the ghost community here..
‘Although it is the exclusive property of ghosts.’
Among the ghosts of the East, there were quite a few who dealt with the mystical flame of naturalization. It's just that there are very few cases where non-ghosts can use this naturalization. Gwimun granting naturalization was a special case..
Anyway, it is not clear exactly whether the power contained in this flame is the power of spirits or the power of Mother Nature, but its strange efficacy is known..
‘It produces different effects depending on the attached ghost..’
It could be considered the same as possession. Just as a specific ghost attaches itself to a person and imprints the ghost's characteristics, the ghost also attaches itself to the equipment and draws out the ghost's power..
Ghosts become attached to equipment through the naturalization process..
The ghost symbol on the front of the equipment means that the equipment is possessed by a ghost..
However, unlike possession, which has a strong negative connotation, when possessed by a ghost, the basic performance of the equipment increases significantly according to the user's level..
And what follows is a new unique ability..
As its value is high, it is an equipment that is very difficult to strengthen and reconfigure..
It was a rare opportunity in Pandea to strengthen such equipment and give it new abilities without risk..
“take it, next.”
One or more swords also went through the same process, and the items of Kangseol were handed over in the following order..
“…This is the first time I have seen such a sharp robber in my life..”
- whatever! Do you want to go back into the complex?!
- Hey, don't do anything stupid, just put some money in there..
- A bank robber came to the bank in a tank.….
Wow!-!
“Well, it's better than disappearing and returning to the ghost king.….”
Grumbling-!
5Naturalization surrounded the dog's belongings..
Yahum said as he looked at the burning things..
“Foolish human being, how dare you covet so many valuables... Maybe something is wrong with your body.”
“more?”
“You can see things you can't see... You step into an area you shouldn't go through, or….”
He glanced back at the snow..
“Being consumed by demonic energy and emitting demonic energy on its own.”
“Does it mean I become a ghost??”
“Half human, half ghost, hehe... If the worst happens, that's what happens, so don't be too scared. I can't believe I'm already shrinking….”
Yahum hoped that Snowfall would shrink at least a little, but unfortunately, Snowfall did not show any change in expression..
Rather, he said this with a shameless face..
“at all.”
“Ugh… Why do I not like that shameless face so much? ruler! became!”
