31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 266)
purr…
Quasi-profit…
A huge foot with sharp claws that could hardly be considered a human foot trampled the ground..
kujik…
“has disappeared! They were here just now.”
“…….”
“What do we do? Where have you disappeared to?!”
A monster with countless vicious teeth.
They are several times the size of a human and the energy they emit is nothing short of vicious..
Those who appeared on the plateau were monsters with great strength, called ghosts in the East..
Although the number of ghosts that appeared on the plateau was not large, they were all radiating powerful energy..
They were standing near the place where Kang Seol and Hye Myeong had been staying until just now, stamping their feet..
“Must kill! I want to kill!”
“I need to drink blood... Their blood!”
slurp…
A huge being approached their side. However, despite its grandeur, the ground shook did not occur..
A movement that only makes you feel uncomfortable for a moment, as if darkness is falling..
He was the one who shot a black meteor at Kang Seol. A powerful demonic energy emanated from his very presence..
“That's right! They're gone, what should I do?!”
Seueuugh…
His name is Geunseon, and he was one of the three generals of the ghost army led by the evil dragon Hwageumu..
He looks down for a moment at the ghost under his command..
“…Does not matter. I can feel their energy.”
Whirly Whirly-!
They say he returns to the form of a small child..
“We catch them here..”
“What if I catch it? What are you going to do when you catch it??”
Ghosts looking at Guseondae with expectant eyes.
They coveted the body of the living. They wait for your answer with expressions filled with greed..
“…….”
“huh? Come on, they say so!”
Even though he was leading the ghosts, he was a special being different from them..
His emotions are not particularly affected by food cravings or other desires..
The Three Ghost Generals were such special and superior beings. Even so, since it is the leader's role to boost the morale of the chess pieces, he had no intention of neglecting that role..
“Enjoy it to the fullest... Massacre... A ravenous meal.”
“Hehehehehehe….”
“good! Let's catch them!”
At that time, the ghost, whose face looked as if it had been boiled, kicked something and said..
“What are all these??”
The barrel that fell from the ghost's kick was full of scrolls..
These were some of the paintings that Mia and Hyemyeong were carrying around. Pictures that I couldn't take care of in an urgent situation..
They were irreplaceable and precious things to Mia, but unfortunately, they were of no value to the ghosts gathered here now..
“burn this place down.”
“Hehehehe!”
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr-!
The place where Hyemyeong and his party were staying was set on fire by a ghost who created a large flame from his body..
and.
- 3After some time, the ruins will face harm..
Even though Kang Seol quietly watched the golden statue, the next words were not heard. The image of Wattala, who only says what he wants to say and keeps his mouth shut..
Snow Seol had no choice but to confirm at least the information given..
Adventure 33 - (Special) 'Watala's Legacy’
You have been drawn into the painting of Mia, a young-an woman, by her uncanny power..
However, as you attempted to enter the ruins of Wattala the next night to search for the mysterious drop wilderness, you encountered an unexpected situation..
A day before the ruins of Wattala were opened, they were attacked by an unknown group..
It's not just this.
Perhaps to counter external threats, the golden statue obtained from the ruins of Wattala opened the ruins a day early, and you and your group hurriedly evacuated there to avoid the threat..
The situation has become urgent and confusion has increased, but there is a way to overcome this situation..
Finding the wilderness.
Objective: Obtain wilderness command or eliminate threats.
Be careful, this adventure is very dangerous.
Be careful, this adventure changes from moment to moment..
Current remaining time 「Unknown」
‘Damn it….’
There wasn't as much time left as I thought.
‘I thought I would be able to visit the ruins at least a few times.….’
Things getting messed up like this happened all the time, so I wasn't very impressed..
I'm glad I was nervous this time too..
‘That power is definitely true. But why is it already like that?….’
In the past, among the three generals of the ghost army, the traces of Mr. Seon Dae became unknown..
The magistrates said that there was some kind of deal between Hongcheon and Geun-dae, or that Geun-dae went into hiding to hide his power, but they were all wrong..
He died here, in the ruins of Wattala..
Hyemyeong used the Spirit of the Wild and burned him to extinction..
That was the trend of the times so far..
‘Now we haven't obtained the spirit of the wilderness, nor has Hyemyeong gained strength. This is the worst situation.’
Mia's warning was right..
- The world in the picture is literally a new world. We cannot expect what has already happened to happen again. Choices are divided into various paths and will lead to good or bad things..
- That means… Are you saying that something different from the original past could happen there??
Something different from the past has already happened. It is also a very important thing that determines the success or failure of a job..
‘3Day….’
We must overcome more than half of Wattala's ruins within the next three days..
Therefore, only by obtaining the wilderness spirit can we respond to the threat..
- Just let the snowman open the door! bang! You can't go out and kill them all.?
- ㄹㅇ That’s not right.?
- I don't know what came, haha, that's right..
There were two reasons why Kang Seol hesitated to deal with Geun Seondae directly..
first. Even though he was immortal, he had mid-level strength. It was difficult to make an exact comparison with the same level of immortality, the Dark Shiny, but if you remember that the Dark Shiny that you faced in the Sodong Mine lost some of its strength due to the aftereffects of resurrection, the Daekshini with full strength would be much stronger than that..
And secondly, this reason was actually the most important.
‘That's what I am now... Compatibility is the worst.’
That was because he was a completely different type of ghost than the one he had seen before..
If Eoduksini was a swordsman with the quality of sharpness, then Guseondae could be said to be a sorcerer with the quality of hardness..
Of course, the compatibility between Kangseol and the hexist is not that bad, but since he is a 'ghost' who is a hexmer, problems arise..
“Snowfall, what should I do? Who the hell are these guys??”
My thoughts end there.
The group was shaking with anxiety.
The only person in the group who knows exactly how the series of events unfolded is Kang Seol..
We had to give them as much anxiety as they could handle..
“It seems there are others targeting the ruins..”
“Dear… Could it be that they are ghosts??”
“…It seem to be like that.”
Chiwoo clicked his tongue..
“Umm… What should I do? Waiting here and then taking them by surprise?”
“It's impossible, there is a strong person on the other side..”
“…It's hard for you to handle it?”
“I'm not sure.”
“That's really bad news. Then another way is?”
Sigh…
Snowfall pointed forward with her finger..
“Breaking through the ruins.”
“what? How is that possible?….”
How does that work? Chiu was about to ask, but then he remembered how they got here and closed his mouth..
Mia became an adult and was living in the near future. She said that she didn't die in these ruins.
If she overcame the current crisis here, it would probably be because she broke through the ruins as Jiang Seol said..
The only difference from then is that the group has increased significantly..
Chiwoo nodded..
“Okay, Seolhong?”
“I don't think there's any other way, let's do as Kang Seol says..”
Seolhong and his group’s trust in Kang Seol was absolute..
Based on that trust, Kang-seol and his group decided on their future actions with ease, and the same was true for Mia and Hye-myeong..
Since Hye-myeong was practically Mia's guardian, she had no choice but to do as he wished..
“Well then, I'll try to guide you through my memories..”
Hyemyeong started giving directions..
* * *
That… Jeopuk…
The ruins were more winding and complicated than expected. I went down the stairs, then up the slope again, and sometimes spun around and came back to the original position..
“I think I'm back to my original place?”
“…Originally, there was a terrible ordeal around here. That's why I got confused.”
Kang Seol recalled the hardships Hye Myung had to go through to obtain the golden statue, and nodded..
‘Moving coffins, burning nightmares, black jars. I managed to overcome everything... . Hyemyeong is.’
The first trial to obtain the Golden Statue was also very tightly structured, and Hyemyeong surpassed them all even before obtaining the Golden Statue's power..
Siiiiiiit…
Tuk…
“Wow!!”
A poisonous snake with a pointed head, clearly venomous, fell from the ceiling..
However, when it fell, the neck was already separated..
Snowfall had already taken care of it..
Mia was trembling and clung to Hyemyeong's back..
“scared….”
“Don't be scared, Mia. The people here at the Relic Society are as strong as me..”
“still…”
“It's safe if you stick close. Let's move forward step by step.”
“…okay.”
Hyemyeong comforts Mia and moves forward. And the snowfall group walking next to it.
Snowfall suddenly looked to the side..
A wall with unknown text written in large letters.
At that moment, the golden statue opened its mouth..
- Realize that mind and body are not separate..
“…what? what did you just say?”
- …….
The golden statue becomes quiet again.
- Ah, I'm starting to get annoyed haha.
- He just says what he wants to say and then disappears haha.
- He uses the Asa style of speaking haha
The scale of the ruins was quite large..
I walked for a long time, but now I was able to reach the place where the golden statue was..
Feels like I'm in a huge auditorium.
Hyemyeong said while touching the golden statue..
“When you get the golden statue.”
“Ah, yes.”
“Someone's memory suddenly came to mind, probably that of someone named Wattala.?”
“…….”
Hyemyeong told a series of stories..
“A person named Watala faced the limitations of his body due to a congenital problem. He realized he couldn't go beyond his limits and tried another method.….”
Tuk-tuk…
Hyemyeong taps her temple with her index finger..
“It's the spirit.”
“hmm….”
“You use your mind instead of your weak body. hmm… Is it too difficult to explain??”
“No, keep going..”
“Wattala mastered studying using the mind. And he fought evil all his life, and before he died he put everything he had into this place..”
In the ruins of Wattala, the studies that Wattala acquired during his lifetime lie dormant..
Hyemyeong touched the golden statue of God..
“This golden statue also contains the power of Watala..”
Kangseol answered without being very surprised..
“That's right.”
“…Aren’t you greedy? a higher level.”
“It's not that I'm not greedy.”
Hyemyeong's eyes shook..
He had different thoughts about snowfall than expected..
“perhaps… Shouldn’t this statue have gone to you??”
“…….”
“God didn't show me any way. If you unleash the power of this god, you will surely face the harm that will come.….”
“Hyemyeong.”
“I may have just missed your chance. Yes, the real owner of the statue is….”
“Don't pass it on.”
“…what?”
Kang Seol said while looking at Hyemyeong’s shaking eyes..
“You are the owner of the statue.”
“…….”
“It's already in your hands, and the fact that you're the owner doesn't change..”
“…ha ha ha! okay. That's right. Maybe he was trying to pass everything on to you under the pretext of personal identity. Hearing those words really brings me to my senses..”
The golden statue belongs to Hyemyeong..
It's a past that shouldn't be changed.
Kang Seol and Hyemyeong smiled and faced forward..
* * *
Jeopuk…
Jeopuk…
After walking a bit again, they arrived at a place that was much grander than the space they had just seen..
“here is….”
“Yes, that's probably where the bell you're looking for sleeps. Likewise, trials will be prepared..”
“…okay.”
snowfall was embarrassed.
‘The trials and tribulations I know… different?’
The second gateway to the ruins of Wattala.
The ordeal there began in a black dark room..
Obviously, in the past.
‘Damn it….’
Kang Seol looked at the golden statue and bit her lip. There was something written on the wall here too..
The mouth of the golden statue opened.
- The infinite spirit dwells in a body as small as a handful of dust..
“…so?”
- Wattala is not talking about the imperfection of the body. Depending on the vessel called the body, the spirit can sometimes become a stream, and sometimes it can become an ocean..
The golden statue spoke of the purpose of this ordeal..
- Watala will test your body.
Kangseol, Hyemyeong, and Chiwoo looked at each other. The first trial that can only be known by directly experiencing it with your own body..
The person who stepped forward first had a high risk of injury..
Sigh…
Hyemyeong stepped forward first..
“I'll try first.”
nod.
As Kang Seol and Chi Woo nodded, Hyemyeong kicked the ground..
Taat-!
“hot-!”
rattle…
As I entered beyond the deep groove, the steps shook..
Huh-!
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!
Soon, the identity of the ordeal was revealed..
‘The pattern on the footrest is different..’
Lotus flower patterns, egret patterns, turtle patterns, and pine tree patterns were all mixed up..
fault.
Kwaaaaang-!
When I stepped on the turtle pattern, the platform turned into a pillar and rose up..
“black….”
Hyemyeong barely escaped by tilting her chin back..
Whoa whoa…
A golden glow flowed from Hyemyeong’s body. I made this decision because I felt like I would get seriously injured if I didn't defend myself..
As a result, the judgment was correct.
Hyemyeong steps on the egret and lotus patterns in succession due to her disheveled posture..
Taaang-!
flying iron ball.
And to the shaking floor.
“Taaaaaat-!”
Hyemyeong was unable to respond in any way to the flying metal ball as he was trying to maintain his balance..
Wow!!
He returns to the starting line after being hit by a metal ball on his forearm..
“Ouch….”
“…….”
Hyemyeong was in tears..
Even though I surrounded myself with energy, the shock was significant..
He looked at Chiu..
Chiu received that gaze and nodded..
“Okay, snowfall is coming next..”
“me?”
“The less trial and error you have, the better. ruler!”
- Chiwoo hahahaha
- Chiwoo is a MacGuffin. When Chiu steps forward, the whole situation ends in a dull way. after… As expected, Chiwoo!
- Macguffin Chiu! The power to never let go! awesome!
I was a little nervous because it was my first time experiencing snowfall..
“good.”
fault-!
‘It wasn't a turtle.’
There will definitely be rules.
‘then… It's you!’
Snowfall stepping on pine trees.
Tooung-!
The iron ball was fired.
‘no?’
Do the rules change with each challenge??
Snowfall leaned forward to avoid the iron ball..
‘Let's do whatever we can.’
Get on, get on, blame!
Lotus, egret, turtle.
patter…
peeing-!
Clap…
A lotus flower platform falling out, and an arrow flying from somewhere at the same time..
With a superhuman sense of balance, he turned his body and hit the arrow while leaning on the turtle's footrest..
Kwasik-!
‘Is it a turtle platform??’
I thought it wasn't a turtle platform, but what are the rules?.
pot-!
I threw myself away again.
This time the turtle step.
What I heard this time was not a clanking sound..
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
“ah….”
An iron pillar flew from the front and struck the snowfall..
“Wow!!”
Mia held her head in a situation where she couldn't help but feel fear..
[The bones of origin absorb the shock..]
[The bones of origin are in an empty stomach..]
[Primordial Bones absorb all shocks.]
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
peeing…
Snowfall flying backwards due to impact.
Sigh.…
Chiwoo swallowed his saliva as he watched the snow falling gently..
gulp….
“uh… So what’s next… I…”
“wait.”
Snowfall stopped Qiu from speaking..
Chiu’s expression noticeably brightened..
Crackling…
Kangseol tilted his head to one side and said.
“Because I think I know.”
