31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 239)
Shoot aaaaa…
Crying-!
As always, rainy nights were accompanied by depression and fatigue..
As the pitch-black night sky continued to pour out something, humans living on earth were busy avoiding the by-products..
Inside a building with a roof, under an umbrella blocking the sky.
There is a unique smell when it rains..
This smell is both cummy and paradoxically refreshing..
Daesan enjoyed this smell on days when it rained and there was no bloody fighting..
Blood battles were a great way to make him feel alive, but on the contrary, they had a negative impact on his daily life on days when there were no blood battles..
I have more thoughts and worries.
Sadness grew and emotions heightened..
Nevertheless, Daesan liked rainy days..
At times like that, sometimes even Kwak Seong and Daeha would come together and work on big projects, and that memory remained really fond..
Shoot ahhh…
Today too, it smelled like a rainy day..
One thing that was different from usual was that all kinds of different smells were mixed together..
‘It's an intruder!’
When has so many visitors visited our home?.
Moreover, without prior notice.
Wow!-!
Daesan rolled up the cloth and pulled out a large sword from within it..
Dadada…
You could mistake it for rain, but it was clearly the sound of intruders running across the roof..
Daesan increased his speed as much as possible, but made no sound. It seemed like the intruders were targeting Gwakseong, not themselves..
Soon, he reached Gwak Seong's residence and shouted..
“Adult Kwak Seong!”
“Daesan!”
Quasi-profit-!
Daesan kicked the door down and jumped inside..
Sporadic shouting was heard throughout the mansion..
“Stop it ahhh-!”
“Protect Adult Kwak Seong!”
At that moment, assassins poured in from all directions..
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!
Fuwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
The body of the assassin who appeared first was cut in half..
“step back!”
Having said this, Daesan knew that the situation was not easy..
I told him to step back, but there was nowhere to go..
Puhwaaaak-!
Puhuaak!
Every time the giant sword moves, two or three people are killed..
If Daesan were here alone, he would have easily defeated them..
But now here was Kwak Seong, whom he cherished, and he had to protect him..
Having always fought alone in the arena, he realized at this moment how arduous and difficult it was to protect others..
Wow…
“Ughhh….”
It was a blow that would never have passed..
However, because Gwakseong was dangerous, he had to throw his body to stop it..
Then, the assassins changed their methods..
Instead of targeting Daesan, they persistently aimed for Gwakseong..
The scratches on his skin continued to increase..
If you make a forced move to protect Gwakseong, assassins will take advantage..
I didn't know how long the fight would last, but when there was a brief lull, Daesan became dazed..
‘…It's poison!’
It was no ordinary poison..
Those who openly stabbed the blade could not have applied anesthetic or paralyzing poison to the blade..
Chii Iik…
My flesh rotted away even during the fight..
If I cut off my arm right now, wouldn’t I be able to survive??
However, I had to immediately put that thought out of my head..
Crackling!
‘As for adult Kwak Seong... At least as much as Kwak Seong.…!’
I had to be rescued from this merciless swamp of death..
“This guy!”
Fuwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
I swung the huge sword until I ran out of breath. The assassins also glared at Daesan as if they were fed up..
It is clear that Daesan has been poisoned with a poison severe enough to cause seizures, so why does Daesan become more and more violent?.
Dozens of assassins clung to one Daesan, but they didn't leave a single major wound other than a scratch..
The leader of a group of assassins who did not speak during missions also had no choice but to open his mouth before he died..
“…monster bastard.”
Parse words-!
The head of the last assassin was caught in Daesan's hand and smashed..
This majesty, this power was the conqueror Daesan..
“…Daesan!”
“Tongue, bro.!”
“…….”
Daesan stood still and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth..
“…Are you okay??”
“Daesan! It's you! Are you really okay??”
Daesan's arms and chest turned black. It was a phenomenon that could only be considered necrosis..
Daesan was dying..
“Phew… I don't mind anything like this….”
stumble…
Cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure-!
Daesan fell backwards and gasped..
“Huh... Hehehe….”
“Is there anyone! lawmaker! Bring in the congressman.!”
“Dae, Daesani….”
“hurry! hurry! Daesan is dangerous!”
“Ughhh….”
Daeha ran towards Daesan..
“Tongue, bro.!”
“Daehaya….”
Daesan, who was actually dying, was somehow calm, but Daeha and Kwak Seong's faces were horribly distorted..
“Treat me… come closer….”
“older brother….”
“Come on, it's time... does not exist.”
Daesan held Daeha’s hand tightly..
Even at this moment, the time of death was passing. Before I knew it, necrosis had progressed to the neck area..
“What I said... Do you remember??”
“What, what….”
“I have to repay you... to say….”
“I remember!”
“Don't forget... grace….”
“yes! yes! All right!”
Daesan's hands were gradually losing strength. He said to Kwak Seong.
“Kwak Seong… Adult….”
“Hey! You can't die! You must not die without my permission.!”
“Phew… Kwak Seong… What I want to ask is... there is.”
“What was that! I'll answer everything! So don't die, Daesan!”
Daesan's face began to turn black..
“I am… Was he useful to you??”
“You useless bastard! What does that mean??”
“It's important to me.”
“…Yeah, very… It was useful.”
Daesan's face turned pitch black, and now even the whites of his eyes have turned black..
He smiled showing his teeth.
“Well, that's a good thing... . Please treat me very well.….”
“Hey! Don't die, you bastard! If you go, I... I am….”
Daesan's breath caught..
“thanks to you… Even this lowly bastard in this damn world... well… I’m going to play… . Thank you, ah… friend….”
* * *
Crying-!
Snowfall woke up in tears with a thunderous sky.
“…ji.”
Messages fill his vision.
[‘He inherited the legacy of Daesan..]
[Passing on the powers of the dead.]
[Inherit the Conqueror's Banner.]
[You carry the conqueror's banner.]
[You now gain 20 random stat points when you defeat an opponent of a certain level. The cooldown for this ability is currently 30 days, and as the ability's mastery increases, the stat values gained increase and the ability's cooldown decreases..]
[Calling: The contents of the things that need to be recovered are changed..]
“ha… ha….”
Snowfall took a deep breath..
- I guess calling is no joke.
- What? It’s like that every time, tsk tsk
- This ability increases by 20 every month.?
- If I had gotten this in the beginning, I would have eaten the Conqueror with my fingers by now haha.
- Isn’t it still early days??
He paused when he saw the box forming at his feet..
I didn't really feel like checking right now..
Sigh…
After putting the box into her belongings, Kang Seol saw Kwak Seong coming down the back stairs again..
“It's over?”
“yes.”
“I came down and looked because I heard a sound of pain..”
“it's okay.”
Kang Seol bowed his head towards Kwak Seong and left the charnel house..
Snowfall's errands were already over, and she had to calm down her intense emotions..
Thanks to this, Kwak Seong was able to stand alone in front of the charnel complex in Daesan for the first time in a long time..
“Daesan, you useless bastard.….”
He said as he swept away his large sword..
“If it's a rainy day, I still want to stop by sometimes..”
A benevolent, very kind smile appeared on his face..
“If you think of this lacking Kwak Seong as your father..”
Geogeom stopped crying anymore.
* * *
The carriage was running on a rough road..
Inside the carriage were Snowfall, Cheonju, Seolhong, and Bitan..
The location of the next Trial of Braves was decided, so we left Liaochuan in a hurry..
“I wanted to stay longer….”
Heavenly Father hastily responded to Seolhong’s words..
“Seolhong! Seolhong is the ‘blood of the dragon’ who will rule over Khan one day. You should also consider the other citizens of the empire who have not yet met Seolhong.!”
“When you say it like that, it seems like that.….”
“It's not like that, it's like that.!”
The people of Liaocheon cheered Seolhong wherever he went..
For the first time in her life, she received great hospitality from people..
The women at the market handed Seolhong homemade snacks, which he accepted without hesitation..
Of course, this was possible because Kangseol, who is learning how to cook monsters, was by his side and checked to see if there were any foods containing dangerous substances..
In Yocheon, Seolhong was the emperor..
It was her first experience like this and she had no tolerance..
My cheeks were red and pale as I walked on clouds all day..
The snowfall let her enjoy it. Anyway, if I head to another area, this sweet daily life will end..
It was just an aberration in the middle of the day.
Seolhong asked Kangseol, who was quietly looking at her..
“But, why did you go to Daesan at that time??”
“that….”
Kang Seol was about to answer in a roundabout way, but Bitan shouted bluntly..
【This guy cried!】
“…heartbreak.”
【This guy cried so hard! i saw!】
When Seolhong and Cheonju covered their mouths with one hand and looked at Kangseol like he was a strange person, Kangseol tried to hold on to Bitan..
【Wow-!】
Bitan jumped high and crossed over to Seolhong..
“Wow!”
As Kang Seol continued to try to hold on to Bitan, Bitan grabbed Seolhong's head and screamed..
【Let's go, girl! night crow!】
“…to?”
【hurry! Whirly Whirly!】
When Bitan made a sound effect with his mouth, Seolhong laughed..
“What is that, sea urchin?”
“oh! caught!”
Grief returned, caught in the clutches of snowfall.
【Ouch!】
Grief quickly became limp as it was caught in the grip of snowfall..
The carriage became quiet..
Kang Seol asked Seol Hong..
“By the way, why was Tumaku chosen as the destination this time??”
Tumaku was a special place.
The commonly referred to coal mining town was Tumaku, and strangely enough, it was an area where the private sector purchased abandoned mines and developed them..
Therefore, Khan signed a contract for a certain period of time to purchase ore mined there..
Tumaku's mine gained a seller who would stably purchase all of the mined volume, and although Khan paid a higher price than developing it himself, there were no direct coal mine development costs, so it was a mutually satisfactory transaction..
“that is… There is one thing worth thinking about..”
“What is it??”
“Among the mines in Tumaku, only the Sodong mine, which boasts the largest scale and the most up-to-date equipment, is owned by a different owner. It seems that some bad news has been coming to Khan recently..”
“Was there contact from another country??”
“Well, I guess so. They probably said they would buy the ores at a higher price. As for the Sodong mine, the contract period ends this year... Khan is also troubled by this..”
“We may have to negotiate with the Sodong Mine..”
“That's the most likely possibility, but I think it would be very awkward if given as a trial..”
Snowfall could guess the reason..
Unlike other Yonghwas, Seolhong did not have a support base..
She was also not given anything to use in negotiations with the Sodong Mine..
‘It's definitely going to be difficult..’
Negotiations were expected to be difficult unless Kang Seol blew up a competing business partner..
“Well, it will arrive soon, so it will be something to think about after the ordeal..”
“okay.”
Snowfall nodded and was silent..
‘Something will happen in the future.' It was better to just anticipate this and move on. Anything more than that is like buying and worrying about it..
‘Come to think of it… You haven't given it to Karuna yet..’
Before getting on the carriage, Snowfall opened the box given to her as part-time payment..

……
Bloody Loser and Awl of Deep Anguish were kept in my inventory as I didn't have any summons to use, and Metallurgy Shroud and Ring of Blood were quite useful so I gave them to Karuna..
[metallurgy curtain]

A cloak made of a material imbued with supernatural resilience..

Special ability: Stamina recovery increases in proportion to the stamina lost during battle. Increases up to 100%.
Great performance for drivers to use.
Karen and Jamard also had something to covet, but what could they do if they weren't there?.
[ring of bloodshed]

A ring containing condensed negative energy from a terrible blood clot..

This is also for Karuna.
Since Karuna returned alone, he took most of the accumulated equipment..
Karen will probably be upset if she finds out about this..
Snowfall had Karuna wear the Metallurgical Veil and Blood Ring while moving..
[Equip Moonlight Knight Karuna with the Metallurgical Veil.]
[Equip Moonlight Knight Karuna with the Ring of Blood.]
- …thank you.
‘what… I have more questions than that..’
As Kang Seol went, he tried to ask about the direction he should take in the future. At the same time, the situation of other summons trapped in nothingness also.
However, his question did not follow.
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
“Wow!!”
“Heh, it's shaking! The carriage must not fall over.!”
With a roar, the mountain path they were climbing shook..
They enter Tumaku and head toward the mine..
Kang Seol stuck his head out and looked outside at the sudden situation that occurred..
“Can you see it? what on earth happened….”
Snowfall’s complexion frowned..
“Seolhong.”
“That smoke….”
“Maybe this ordeal isn't a negotiation..”
Seolhong opened his eyes wide..
“Looks like there's a problem at the mine..”
