31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 279)
Seeing Kotaro's stiff appearance, Snowfall glanced at everyone with a blunt expression..
The transferees were taken aback by that cold gaze. And there was someone who was going through a more embarrassing situation than them..
‘body….’
It was Kotaro who froze on the other side of the snowfall with his hand on his sword sheath..
Kotaro believed that no one could stop him here in Songjo. Even the dispatched central army was swept away once, so there was no way there would be anyone left who could oppose him, who was ranked among the strongest among the Song Dynasty's predecessors..
‘just now… Who glared at me.’
Although he got into a fight with a soldier and became violent, he had no intention of escalating the matter. Of course, he had already spilled water, so he had to be prepared to exercise his skills to some extent..
So I put my hand to the scabbard. Never in her wildest dreams did she know that the sword in its sheath would not even be drawn out..
It was all because of Snow, who raised her hand on her sword and blocked her stance..
No, it was enough to shake off the movement itself and pull it out, but what made it impossible to move the body at all was the vague presence behind the man..
As the being looked down on me as if I was insignificant, my body felt like it was being crushed..
‘How can this happen?….’
As if his feelings were not being conveyed to others, someone in the group shouted..
“Kotaro!”
“Don't oppress us! We have the right to do whatever we want! Even if Khan is an empire, he can't manipulate us as he pleases.!”
A Jeon who speaks passionately as if he were a martyr..
Kang Seol answered him in a businesslike tone..
“I understand that you were given a choice for a certain period of time..”
“That's one-sided! All you have to do is follow what you decide.?”
That's right.
If only these were peaceful times.
“We are currently in a state of tension as we do not know when airstrikes will begin again in Songjo. And Khan is willing to do anything to protect the citizens of Song Dynasty. If everything had to be weighed on a scale of choice, the heaviest thing would be the lives of citizens, not your freedom..”
“that… uh….”
One of the transferees who was speaking in a fairly fluent answer stuttered. Instead, another transferee did the evil..
“It means that the lives of citizens are the top priority and we are not concerned about it.?”
“It's a bit exaggerated, but wouldn't it be similar? It's not like I'm asking much of you. Those who can protect the city will stay, and those who cannot protect the city are asked to leave the city even now..”
“This kid... All they want to do is kick us out.!”
Kang Seol was also a former governor and a close associate of Seol Hong, the city commander. At first glance, I could understand the position of the ex-convicts, but in this case, I could not support them..
“When danger is just around the corner, an unclear ally is actually a potential threat within. Moreover, in the previous air raid, a group of renegade looters emerged, so it is not a leap forward..”
“We have nothing to do with them!”
“Even so, as someone who has to defend the city, I cannot just rely on that promise and leave you alone. There is opposition from citizens, but I would like to avoid a situation where holes are created in the city's boundary network..”
When Kang Seol tried to calmly persuade them, those who incited their anger appeared..
“Leave us alone! I don't want to leave the city and I don't want to be controlled by you guys.?”
“Don't you usually call something like that an outlaw??”
And the anger crossed the line.
The eyes of the transferees slowly began to become bloodshot..
“What the fuck… Let's see, let's see, hey! that we are outlaws?”
“Outlaw? Does the bastard who clings to Yonghwa and fawns over him know that our lives are always crossing the line??”
“Yes, that's right! We have to fight so hard every time!”
Kang Seol could barely suppress a laugh from coming out..
‘I wonder why… Why are you acting like this??’
Their actions seem somewhat contradictory.
Snowfall felt that they were somehow not like Jeonja..
Transferees are usually selfish.
Their primary value was survival, not freedom..
Funnily enough, it was a strange group where the selfishness of wanting to live alone led to cooperation..
The conditions imposed by the Central Army were not that unfair..
If you wanted to stay in the city, your chances of survival were higher if you joined forces with the central army, and if you didn't want to do that, abandoning the city was much better for your survival..
However, they were now hoping to remain in the city, encouraging unrest..
‘It's strange?’
- okay.
Jamard also agreed with Kang Seol’s thoughts..
“stop… Stop it.”
Kotaro, who was the only one who noticed the true nature of the snowfall even for a moment, tried to stop the group's derailment..
“What's wrong, Kotaro? Are you scared? That bastard now….”
“Anyway, let's stop.….”
“Why should I stop? Even though you don't know anything about us, it's ridiculous to know anything about us.….”
Kang Seol smiled and answered..
“I understand you better than anyone else.”
“Fuck it.”
Biran shouted..
“stop! Don’t be rude to Yongseok! Yongseok, you guys….”
Despite Biran’s dissuasion, the confusion did not calm down..
No, that action actually provoked them more..
“Oh, don't even confront Yongseok.?”
“Crazy kids... Should I just close my eyes and kill them all??”
“What is understanding... you know us?”
A situation where even harsh words are poured out.
‘It's annoying though….’
To be honest, I didn't want to understand or hang out with transference people. If it had been Kang Seol in Jeon Ja's position, he would have definitely acted as he thought..
However, he was no different from Seolhong's right hand man who was dispatched here as a commander. I had to refrain from violent behavior..
In the end, when the tension reached a state of extreme tension, Kang Seol had no choice but to decide to reveal his identity..
“Because I’m a transfer person too..”
“…what?”
“So I can understand you. And I'm curious as to why this situation is progressing like this..”
Everyone paused for a moment when they heard that it was snowfall..
“you… It's a transfer?”
“yes.”
“Jeonja became Yongseok?”
“yes.”
“wait for a sec… where… a c….”
“pooh….”
“Puhahahaha!”
The transferees burst into laughter after confirming something..
“No, no.”
“…yes?”
“There is no name like yours anywhere in Song Jo’s rankings. They say you are strong?”
“You were a liar.”
“The rankings are all people we know. Either you're lying to avoid the situation, or you're the type of person who can't even keep up with us, let alone Kotaro..”
The eyes of the transferees continued to turn red..
- Snowfall, I got it. These guys….
Kang Seol nodded..
‘I felt it too.’
For some reason, I felt that this was not a typical reaction of transferees. Kang Seol realized the situation and sighed..
And then, the object that erased his presence stopped working..
[Turn off sound rumors.]
[Base visit information will be displayed.]
Messages that will soon emerge like a flood.
[Your information is private.]
[Your score is 24,156,800 points.]
[A rumor spreads that a great adventurer exists within Song Dynasty..]
[Crime rates across the city drop significantly.]
[Hidden adventures within the city are activated.]
[Tensions in the city ease.]
[Citizens have some hope for tomorrow.]
When I reached 20 million adventure points, I thought I would get something, but there was no reward..
I thought maybe I could get the first title if I reached 30 million points..
“uh… Wait a minute, what's in the rankings here?….”
“What, what??”
“Oh, that's a lie?”
“2,400only? 24 million?”
“It's my first time seeing numbers like this….”
“This is really that person?”
“What did you say your name was? Is it snowing??”
“I think he's Korean... No one is from the same place?”
They looked around, looked at the snowfall like a monster, and then retreated..
Although the adventure score was not everything about strength, it could at least serve as a useful indicator..
So, in general, those who had experienced countless acts of evil committed by those with high scores were afraid that Kangseol would suddenly change and attack them at any moment..
“Will you believe me now??”
“uh… Yeah, that's right.”
“I don't want to make a big problem.”
“We don't really have any major complaints.….”
The numbers were telling us what kind of person Kang Seol was, so everyone started to be careful about what they said when they realized that one mistake in their words could send everyone running away..
However, there were also those who did not welcome this atmosphere..
“so!”
“yes?”
“what's the matter… Hey you….”
“Are you saying we have to change our attitude just because you're a transference? why? why should i do that?”
At that point, the transferees also thought the man who had just left was strange..
“hey… Look at the score, what's wrong with you….”
“…Didn't you see the score? why stimulate….”
“score?”
At that moment, Kangseol taps the tip of his nose! the smell of hitting.
‘…Right?’
- Yeah, it's him..
As soon as Jamard answered, something unbelievable happened..
sreung…
Fuwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
“…uh?”
The head of the man who had just stepped forward was cut cleanly by the sword swung by Snowfall and fell to the floor..
Tuk…
There was silence for a moment due to shock, then it burned like fire..
sreung…
Srrrrr-!
“Wow, you crazy bastard!”
“I knew it would be like this!”
“They plan to kill everyone who refuses to comply! Kotaro! It can't be done, neither can we.….”
Transitors drawing weapons to fight against the snowfall.
“Kotaro?”
“everyone calm down.”
“Looks cool now! That bastard is us now….”
“Look carefully.”
“okay! I just got decapitated... uh?”
flinch…
The body with the severed head wriggled..
A person dies immediately if his or her head is cut off..
However, the corpse was squirming, which means that the dead person was not human..
“What the hell is this?….”
Jeopuk…
Jeopuk…
Snowfall walked up to the separated head and lifted the monster..
Chuuuk…
The human face was melting..
“oh my god….”
That moment.
pot-!
Papapot-!
At the same time, up to four people were scattered in all directions. They all came out from the transferors side..
“Wow!!”
Snowfall clapped its hands..
“Coco!”
Whirling-!
Coco bit the neck of the former who was running away in an instant..
Not to be outdone, Kang Seol also launched himself at the other fighter..
Quasi-profit-!
Snowfall that makes you hit your head on the ground and completely destroys you..
Crackling-!
In an instant, Coco bit off the necks of two people and took their lives..
And the last survivor who tried to climb over the barracks wall was eventually caught by Kang Seol..
“Heehee! Hehehehe!”
The captured man suddenly laughed maniacally..
Snowfall said dryly..
“I heard it smelled… You guys are ghosts?”
“I got caught! I got caught! Hehehe!”
Snowfall dragged the ghost back to its place..
The face of the person who had been decapitated earlier had changed into that of a ghost with its tongue sticking out..
Kotaro and other transferees were embarrassed with dizzy expressions..
“Oh my, this can't be... These guys… You were a ghost?”
“So until now….”
The snowfall confirmed the eyes of the transferees..
The red eyes had returned to their original state..
“oh my god….”
Biran approached and covered her mouth in despair. Then he looked at the other transferees with suspicious eyes..
It was the same for transferees too..
Everyone looked at each other and was suspicious..
Sigh…
“Oh no! Mi, please believe me!”
“I did not know! I have no idea! I have nothing to do with this!”
While they were proving their innocence, Kang Seol restrained the ghost and summoned Jamard..
Hehehehe…
Perhaps because it has reached the level of immortality, the appearance of being summoned has also changed quite a bit..
Before, it felt like just a lump of shadow coming out, but now it felt like a black fog slowly taking shape..
Of course, that scene was quite scary..
“Ear, it's a ghost!”
“Appeared again!”
- I'm Jamaden.?
- ghost! They say it’s a ghost! where! Where are you! uh… me?
Everyone was witnessing before their eyes the almost magical ability of seeing snowfall one after another..
In particular, Biran felt fear and respect at the same time as he looked at the snowfall..
As things started to fall into place, I didn't know what was going on, but I realized that he was no ordinary person..
I thought he was a strange person for somehow feeling relaxed even in imminent situations, but now I see that he was just overflowing with leisure..
Jamard said while looking at the restrained ghost..
- look at me ghost.
“Hi-Hi… Hehehehe….”
match-!
Jamard clapped his hands..
[Jamad uses the Dark Life Spell: Salja..]
[For a certain period of time, the target cannot harm its own vitality..]
Witchcraft used in preparation for taking one's own life.
Snowfall asked Jamard about this ability she had never seen before..
“What is that? dark life spell?”
- It's the power of the scriptures that guy said he got last time..
The scripture that Jamad mentioned once before..
- The immortality you spoke of is an ancient scripture found on that guy's bookshelf..
It can be seen as a part of the immortal books that remained in nothingness..
Unlike Jamad, Mael used all kinds of miscellaneous tricks, and the scriptures of immortality probably also included these tricks..
‘Anyway, it's a life of darkness.….’
Kang Seol turned around and looked at the transferees..
They were still blaming and doubting each other..
“You are a ghost too!”
“Ooh, don't be funny!”
Kotaro and Snowfall’s gaze crossed..
“Now you have to make sure.”
“…All right.”
Kotaro walked with long strides and arrived in front of the ghost..
“Hey, since when??”
“Heeheehee! The person who was fooled is a fool!”
“I can't believe I was fooled by this guy.….”
“Hehehe! No, you were scared. I'm just exaggerating it! you are so scared….”
Pooh wow-!
Kotaro's dagger pierced the ghost's thigh..
“Kiaaa!”
“shut your mouth.”
When Kotaro turned around, the transferees all thought for a moment and nodded..
“Is it okay to just follow the controls??”
Biran's face brightened noticeably at those words..
Snowfall nodded and then asked the ghost a question..
“where did you come from?”
“Hehehe….”
“Did you plan the monster's attack??”
“If so?”
Kang Seol frowned and said to Jamad..
“Is that life magic or something?….”
match-!
[Jamard uses the Dark Life Spell: Phi Bindae..]
[Subject feels a brief, unbearable itch.]
[With repeated use, you will become immune to blood bed bugs..]
“Ah haha! Ah haha!”
“Answer me.”
“stop… That's it!”
“Ahahahaha….”
The ghost that was drooling finally confessed..
“Yasha….”
“what?”
“The Yasha has broken the boundaries, and the demon king will fall..”
“…Yacha? It's called Yacha?”
“Our world has come.”
A ghost who speaks riddles.
Kang Seol asked a few more questions, but when he saw the ghost keeping his mouth shut, he ordered the soldiers to take the ghost away..
And I stood there blankly and repeated the words the ghost left behind..
Newly appeared names, Yasha and Ghost King.
Among them, Kangseol was particularly attracted to the name Yasha..
“The Yaksha has broken the border... Yacha, Yacha….”
Probably not.
No, you're probably right..
If a ghost uttered that name.
‘no way….’
Kang Seol sensed that he was caught up in something bigger than this Song Dynasty air attack..
If the horse that got out of his control a long time ago, the sword demon yaksha, and the yaksha involved in this are the same person... Things will definitely get bigger.
