31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 248)
Some time has passed since the giant soldiers entered the mine..
Although the miners have already been recovered, people gathered around the Sodong mine and waited for news..
“Okay, the elevator is moving.!”
“Didn't something go wrong again??”
“no! Something comes up from below.”
Even the miners who were saved, including Seongchi, the owner of the mine. Everyone held their breath and waited for the elevator to come up to the ground..
How many nights and how many days did it take to reach a moment like this?.
Yonghwa disaster prevention and recorders related to this incident were also looking at the mine entrance..
Seolhong should not have died here..
He was too precious a person to die in a place like this. And also her dragon stone in her bond with her.
First, disaster prevention and record officials knew the severity of the situation. The situation where the Great Demon Darkness has been released has already gone far beyond what can be done by individual efforts..
“Has the great shaman arrived yet??”
“Since you have just departed from Hongyeon, there is still a long way to go before you arrive at Tomaku.….”
“Sheesh! If Seolhong’s words are true, then Darkness has come into the world. But how can you be so carefree??”
While Bangjae and his subordinates were talking, the entrance to the mine became noisy..
“come! You came!”
Cheolkeong…
Cheolkeong…
Giant soldiers advancing in front of people in the dark. Because the number of giant soldiers was considerable, the sight was quite spectacular..
Everyone looked for the giant soldier that Seolhong was riding..
If this miracle had ended with her death, the residents of Tomaku might have lived a life of abandonment of faith in the future..
“There it is!”
“Seolhong came back alive.!”
“There's one more person in the cockpit?”
“This is Seolhong’s Yongseok! He was alive.?”
Cheeeeee…
The cockpit was opened and snow and snow fell. Seolhong's face was dark because he had been in and out of the mine without being able to wash. It was the same with snowfall.
The difference between the two faces is that Seolhong's face has clear tear marks that have erased the soot from shedding tears continuously..
The painters delivering the news raised their fireballs..
They use magic to depict phenomena.
They now waited with their brushes in hand to capture the decisive shot..
Soon, the moment they had been waiting for came.
With a fluttering sound, Seongchi, the owner of the mine, bowed his head and bowed to the floor..
“I think it is a grace bestowed by the gods of heaven and earth who took pity on the lives of moles. Thank you very much.”
“Seongchi.”
“Thank you for your hard work. I will never forget the grace I received from Yonghwa as long as I live..”
“Wow! Seolhong!”
“Seolhong! Please take a look here!”
Seolhong, who lived without being loved.
When she left the Dragon Palace, there was no one to see her off..
A past life where it was thought that being away from everyone's attention was probably natural..
“Here you go! here!”
“You're back!”
“thank god! thank god! black….”
It was a past that I couldn't even imagine now, surrounded by so many people..
“snow red!”
“Disaster Prevention Brother.”
“What happened? I know your Yongseok is safe. Wasn’t there one important problem??”
Bangjae asked, hoping to learn the truth from Seolhong’s mouth..
“It's dark, what happened to it? The guy….”
“I collapsed.”
“…what?”
“It was dark and I collapsed..”
It's dark so you're saying he died of natural causes?.
Bangjae looked at Seolhong for a moment and then turned his gaze to Kangseol..
“no way… Probably not what I think?”
“…….”
Seolhong told Bangjae the truth. If you hide it, you will attract unnecessary suspicion..
“It is assumed that all of Sodong's abnormal demonic powers are caused by darkness. As the darkness disappeared, the demonic energy subsided to the point where I no longer needed to wear protective clothing..”
“Seolhong… Really? It's dark so you're dead? The weapon of the giant soldier….”
The commander approached and shook his head..
“By the time we arrived, the situation was already over..”
That means that Kang Seol alone defeated Eoksini. Words that are nothing short of a bombshell.
Bangjae turned around with an expressionless face..
“The archivists will check for details. The truth will be revealed then. You worked hard, Seolhong..”
“Thank you, brother..”
“Take a break.”
“yes.”
A few days later, rumors that Eodukshini's life had come to an end began in Tomaku, spread to other nearby areas, and eventually throughout Khan..
But people trembled rather than rejoiced at that fact. Because the resurrection of darkness occurred, which should never have occurred..
That meant that the legendary evil dragon Hwageumu could also be resurrected..
Khan's great sorcerer arrived at Sodong Mine, saw the traces of the battle, and said:.
- The resurrection of darkness is a fact.
And it ended like this.
- Also, the death of Eoduksini is also true..
The great sorcerer's words, along with the picture of Seolhong covered in soot and Seongchi bowing to her, and several giant soldiers standing behind her, conveyed to the people of Khan that something like a miracle had happened in Tomaku..

“Did you call me?.”
“…Welcome. Dalyoung.”
Dragon Emperor Hongcheon summoned a man in the dark of the night. The attire of the person called by the Dragon Emperor was unique..
The rest of the clothing was not much different from that of the Dragon Emperor's subjects, but the eyepatch tied over his eyes was a clear difference..
The man, Dalyoung, was a member of the Youngan tribe..
The Youngan tribe is a special entity with deep roots in Cannes and has produced talented individuals who will leave a mark in history..
Youngan people lose their eyesight when they have a coming-of-age ceremony..
No double entendre, you really lose your eyesight..
And in return, you gain special abilities that are different from others. The deep involvement of the Youngan tribe in Khan's history was also achieved based on these abilities..
“were you looking at the sky?”
“That's right. I'm not as good as you, but I can imitate reading..”
Dalyoung could read astronomy.
Instead of giving up my eyesight, I was able to sense the energy of the sky..
Based on this ability, he was given the position of planetarium in Cannes..
“I didn't know. So I found you.”
“I'll check.”
Dalyoung stands side by side with Yongje for a moment and looks up at the sky..
Even though I couldn't see it, I could see it.
“Okay, how did the sky come out??”
“Not good.”
“That's clear.”
“The great star's energy has waned. It wasn't to this extent just a few days ago.….”
“You know it too. That star is my star.”
“…….”
“okay… I did.”
“There have always been instances where the Dragon Emperor's energy fades for a while. Perhaps your recent health….”
“It's not a health issue. It is natural that soil that has been deprived of nutrients for a long time becomes a wasteland. I never thought I would say that there are things in this world that cannot be resisted, but it is true..”
Yongje saw Dalyoung.
“I'm falling apart.”
“…You've overcome everything, haven't you??”
“What I have overcome is just a wave, not a flow. Have you heard of the term “power of the times”??”
“I remember a clan elder once told me:.”
“The power of the times, I call it the era calendar. I believe that those who led great changes on the continent had this power. How do times change? You can go beyond a tiger to become the king of a mountain and rise to the peak of a beast, but you can never change the era..”
Yongje’s regretful words continued..
“All along, the new era of this land has been changed by rational beasts. The beast called human. Of course, this does not mean that all humans can change the times. A new wave must have a source. Where the waves begin.”
At this moment, Dalyoung was able to resolve his doubts about Yongje's recent actions..
“No way, this bravery too….”
“Yes, preparing for the next era. The goal is to find a child who can create waves to prevent Khan from being swept away by the waves. Cracks have already begun in Pandea, and Darkshini's resurrection is probably one of those small cracks..”
“However, since the Dragon Emperor is so healthy, how can the Dragon Flowers grow?….”
“I'm old. He lived for 300 years, so how could he be fine? I'm broken.”
The Dragon Emperor said bitterly.
“Lately, I've often felt like my mind has become blurred. This is a completely different phenomenon than aging, maybe….”
“dragon blood!”
“okay. Hwagmu's blood may have extended my lifespan, but it seems he doesn't intend to guarantee me a comfortable end. haha… Hey, vacation.”
Seuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
Banghyu appeared from a dark place..
“yes. I'm waiting for you to come.”
“Invite the flowers engaged in a war of dragons to the Dragon Palace. I will treat you not as my child, but as a guest who will make Khan great..”
“We will prepare grandly. However, there are also concerns that a conflict may arise between them..”
“No need to intervene. A person who cannot solve even such trivial problems will achieve nothing..”
“All right.”
* * *
Bubbly…
Bubbles rose from the warm water.
“It's really better?”
“The bodies of the Lang people are different from humans! Of course you recover quickly. How are you? ha ha ha!”
Chiwoo looked at Snowfall for a moment as they soaked in the hot springs together..
“under… under… damn….”
Even though Kang Seol was not from the Lang tribe, he looked clean as if he had not been in any trouble..
Anyone who sees it would never think that he was the one who fought the Dark Lord..
“Thank you, Chiwoo.”
“…joy.”
“Disaster prevention?”
“I guess disaster prevention doesn't like hot water. That's why it's so cold, right? If you're a man, you should enjoy hot springs like this..”
Snowfall and Chiwoo relaxing in an open-air bath.
The struggle was temporarily halted due to a major event called the resurrection of Eoduksini. Archivists tell us to rest until further contact..
“eww… It's hot.”
“under….”
Kang-seol was dumbfounded by Chi-woo’s uncle-like exclamation..
‘No, it's been a while for me too?’
As I soaked more than half of my body in this warm water, I felt dazed for a moment..
Boo-grrr-rrr.…
For a moment, bubbles rose around the snowfall..
【Ugh.….】
Well done…
That's where the grief came out..
“…what are you doing?”
【3minute! I lasted 3 minutes!】
“…It's amazing?”
Snowfall was meant as a courtesy, but there was one more person here..
“What is this, you bastard! That little thing was cocky and dived for 3 minutes?”
【Grief is the biggest of all sorrows.?】
“There are many heartbreaks.?”
【no! Grief is one thing. So the average is whatever you want..】
strange logic.
But the opponent was Chiwoo.
“Well, that's right. It wasn't a small thing, was it? But the king of diving is me! 3 minutes? I can do 5 minutes!”
【Try it! I will also update the record!】
wind…
Meanwhile, Kang-seol sighed as he saw Chi-woo suddenly engaging in a diving contest with Bitan..
Snowfall had not yet checked the items obtained from this adventure. I was called here and there for a problem related to the darkness, and I was away from a dangerous situation for a while..
‘Still, I have to check before the next trial..’
If it had been in the early stages of the War of the Dragons, I would have set it aside and checked the reward first. At that time, I didn't have anything other than summoning skills, so I had to get something new as quickly as possible..
‘It's different now.’
Squeak…
Kang Seol took his hand out of the bath and looked at it for a moment..
Sometimes I couldn't believe that I defeated Darkness alone..
I wondered if I had ever felt that much pain in my life. He's already died once, but the pain was worse during the battle with Dark Sini..
‘I gained a lot from this battle..’
There were some rewards that haven't been confirmed yet, but whatever the rewards are, they won't compare to what Snowfall got herself..
‘Two seasons were opened at once.….’
The darkness was opened with Asura..
Asura was another word for extra sense..
My skin felt like it was stretched like a giant parasol..
The senses spread out and information about things that entered the area was read in an instant..
Could someone penetrate into this area and carry out a sneak attack??
Snowfall shook her head..
There was a reason why it was considered seasonal even though it was a continuous ability..
And the attack aircraft, Darksword..
If the night sea strikes a wide area at once, the darkness slithers through the gap and delivers a powerful slash. It was proven at the end of Darksini that the extent of power that the Shadow Slash actually possesses..
After gaining these two abilities, Kang Seol was completely transformed. Instead of being a summoner who is not good at summoning, I have become a summoner who is good at summoning..
- It's amazing that Ssammotjjin has grown this much.…
- I stood up on this earth with my bare fists!
- It really feels like I'm watching some kind of founding myth haha.
- I miss Karen, Ur, and Jamad.…
- yes? who is that?
Snowfall came out, leaving the two still underwater alone..
I went outside for a moment to get some fresh night air, but the chilly wind seeped into my collar..
I felt a little stuffy.
It's peaceful, but something feels uncomfortable..
Kang Seol thought for a moment about how to explain this feeling, then nodded..
‘It's not like I'm fully back yet..’
The vacuum of summoned animals still existed..
Because Karuna can't do everything alone..
“Wow, I'm disappointed... Was I expecting it for no reason??”
At that moment, someone's voice reached Kang Seol's head..
- hey.
“…uh?”
It wasn't Karuna's voice..
- hey.
“…ur?”
- Can you hear me??
It was definitely Ur's voice..
