31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 350)
Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
The scene where Ajanik was transported to a forest somewhere on the continent was extremely exhilarating..
‘‘Quick Exit’ sponsored Madness by 2,000.!
[As soon as Ajanik came to work, I took sick leave and left work..]
- It's ridiculous haha. What kind of poison is it?;;
- I came to my senses after getting hit by a night crow.
- Ha, just one round! Let's play one more round!
- ??? : I don't like it, you're bad. (1 win, 1 loss, undefeated))
- It is said that they never met again.
- Did you cast Ajanik as a cameo??
As Azanik disappeared, countless messages emerged..
[Faction: The Celestial Dragon's Black Sky Plan is disrupted.]
[The opening of the hidden adventure ‘Great World: Black Wings’, where you can acquire the era calendar, will be delayed..]
[Azanic the Celestial Dragon's condition becomes unstable. He will be silent for a long time.]
[The Celestial Dragon's anger has reached its peak. His entire nest is on high alert..]
[The forces that were watching the Sky Dragon begin to stand up all at once..]
[Various anomalous adventures may arise..]
……
Snowfall and Jamard's joint attack really worked well for Ajanic..
And now, even though they witnessed that fact up close, there were some who found it difficult to accept it..
“oh my god… Ajanik….”
Tantuinu, who still had the broken red prison hanging around his neck, couldn't believe what was happening..
It's Azanic.
The opponent was a giant whose name was used as a concept even on the continent..
To inflict near-fatal wounds on a monster of that era?.
Tantuinu's gaze shifted to Snowfall and Jamad..
‘I can't believe you both kept your promises.….’
Tantuinu remembered what Snowfall had said when she handed him the map of the underground garden..
- When the dragon enters the pit, there is only one chance. Even if you notice an attack, you won't be able to escape right away..
- Its defense is strong. The chance that the attack won't work on him is?
- I'll take care of that. What's important is having enough destructive power to take advantage of the given opportunity. Is it possible??
- …I have confidence.
Snowfall and Jamard’s expressions at that time gave me goosebumps for some reason..
For this plan, Kang Seol and Jamard never once counterattacked Ajanik while being chased. No clues were given so that it would not be easy to guess their power..
Perhaps that was the reason why Azanic rushed into the abyss without hesitation like a wolf hunting a rabbit..
‘…amazing. No, honestly, I didn't even expect it.….’
Over thousands of years… Or perhaps, for a dragon with no lifespan limit, the lives of creatures living on the ground were laughable..
Their will, their beliefs, their everything.
‘Come to think of it….’
Snowfall also helped me when I met Azanic at the entrance to the underground garden..
If it weren't for him, I would have been captured without even setting foot in the underground garden. It was obvious that he would have been robbed of his mother's descendants and killed..
‘How does Kangseol act like he knows everything??’
He had a detailed knowledge of the topography of the place, as if he had frequented the underground garden..
No, in fact, if I had only accepted Kang Seol as my helper, I would have succeeded in escaping, but I would not have been able to take revenge on Ajanik in a good way..
Her eyes turned to Jamard..
‘really… I hurt Ajanik..’
How many people in Pandea can hurt a dragon?.
Dealing a blow to a dragon was not something that could be done easily. Even if I laid the plan like Kang Seol did, I couldn't think of anyone who could do it properly..
‘Me too….’
Even Tantu'inu would shake his head if asked to make an attack that would hurt Ajanic..
She is also a dragon looking at the supreme state..
However, it was impossible to surpass Ajanik, who had already far surpassed the supreme level..
She remembered the words of her mother, Tancred..
She said this as she entrusted herself to Tantuinu to survive in the red prison..
- …Head to the forest of the sleeping, child..
- Mom, I think you're wrong. I no longer have the strength to resist Azanic's pursuit... There is no one left to help us. Even if we get there….
- Old relationships will stay there for a while. The sprout you've been waiting for all along will break the ice and stick its head out..
- …Is there still hope for my mother??
- In nature, new winds sometimes start from unexpected places..
- I will take my mother's words.
It was blind faith at the time..
No, actually I didn't believe it..
‘A sprout breaks the ice and sticks its head out.….’
After looking at Snowfall and Jamad for a moment, Tantuinu nodded and made a promise..
‘Let's bet our future on these people..’
Her reminiscence was broken by the words of the old tree..
“Yes, it's been a really long time. A small creature visited my garden. There must be a reason why you even woke me up from my sweet sleep to talk to me..”
The sleepyhead yawned in front of Kangseol and his group, who were amazed at how such a huge life could survive..
“Hmm… I'm sleepy, the forest breathes only when I fall asleep..”
The attitude of saying don't bother me and just talk about business quickly. It was eccentric, but it seemed like he was doing his duty..
snowfall stepped forward.
I thought hundreds of times in my head what I would ask for in return for taking care of the garden..
A choice will soon occur to him..
“however….”
However, before I could think of a choice, I ran into an unavoidable situation..
“Ugh….”
Jamard's body trembled..
“jamard?”
“Aaaaaaaaaaa!”
He grabbed his head and hit the floor. Kang Seol turned his eyes to the sleepyhead with an urgent expression..
[Jamard's condition is unstable..]
[Jamard's loyalty decreases..]
[If loyalty continues to decline, unpredictable things can happen.]
The same message as when Karuna went berserk after meeting Karen the other day..
“The power is running out of control. If things continue like this, it will be a long way from reaching the desired level. This is the reward for using too much power..”
Kangseol bowed his head to the sleepyhead without any hesitation..
“please help him.”
“Is that what you want? I could give you something more valuable.”
He shook his head and answered.
“I set the price.”
“…….”
Actually, it didn't make sense..
Even the confident Karen was stuck in nothingness and had not even received any news about how to reach the perfect state, but Jamard reached the perfect state overnight without any sign..
‘…That's unreasonable. to keep a promise.’
Jamard had drawn strength beyond his original state and was directly enduring the side effects..
In this situation, there was nothing Jamad’s owner, Kang Seol, could do..
‘but… It's different if you're a sleepyhead.’
If this old tree is old enough to create something new, it will definitely be able to correct Jamaard's condition..
Like Azran, Prince of Frost, who stabilized Blaine, which was on the verge of extinction in the past..
“Luckily, Tancred, the energy she left behind in the garden still remains. If this is….”
“Those words are…”
“You can't be sure of the results. do your best.”
Probably speaking to Jamard..
* * *
Squeaky…
His stem dug into Jamaard's body..
Squeak…
Tree trunk tearing through skin.
Even Kang Seol wondered if he had ever seen someone other than himself reach the highest level, so it wouldn't be surprising if something happened..
“Ahhh… Ahhhhh!”
[Jamard's condition is unstable..]
[Jamard's loyalty decreases..]
“Suffer, it will lead you to the right path..”
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
Damn it…
Snowfall was startled by the sudden noise and looked at Jamard’s feet..
‘feet….’
Tantuinu was equally surprised..
“Stone… I'm turning into a stone.”
“no… Jamard, Jamard!”
Damn it…
Jamard's body was turning to stone, as if it had caught the Basilisk's gaze..
The petrification proceeded at a very slow rate, but it could not be slowed down..
Kang Seol looked at the sleepyhead's face, and he was also frowning as if the situation was not going well..
“It's an amazingly strong life force. My body should have already been eaten by the source and broken, but why is it still alive...? . Little creature... Be strong! It's a sad life to be reduced to dust here.!”
“…What is Jamard's situation??”
Jamard's awakening was also a very important situation for Kang Seol. No, he was in a situation where he could have lost him rather than reach the level in the first place, so he was worn out..
The sleepyhead said sadly.
“If you don't overcome the pain, you will never reach the next step... The suffering he is experiencing is the work of a pioneer..”
Those who run ahead of others will be hit by the wind blowing in front of them. These were the people who ran despite the wind tearing their skin and being pushed backwards..
‘pain… It's pain?’
When asked if there was any way to help, Kang-seol felt resentful of the old tree for only asking riddles, but Kang-seol came up with something she could do..
‘What you can do... It's pain... pain… pain!’
I trusted Jamard, but it was too much pain to just watch..
And, it seemed like I found a clue through a flash of inspiration..
Because I had a similar experience before..
That is, the experience of almost losing Karuna when he was fighting against the Black Knight because the red energy connected to him was cut off..
And when I held on to it and put it back together again, the experience of returning to a whole state..
‘It is the blood of the beginning! There is a possibility if it is the blood of the beginning.!’
Snowfall still remembers that Finn Modria, the original blood master, had similar abilities..
That was the only strength I had to walk right now..
I had to bet on the possibilities it had..
Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssd…
Kangseol concentrated his mind and placed his hand on the tree trunk connected to Jamad..
‘Jamard and I are related by blood..’
Imagination.
Imagine.
Connected with Jamard.
And sharing his pain.
Slurp…
The stems are starting to turn black..
Snowfall frowned with her eyes closed..
‘No, more… more….’
The trunk of the sleepyhead tree, which had been stained black, has returned to its original color..
‘more!’
Tsuuuuuu…
Then it started to heat up and this time it turned dark red..
That dark red energy immediately reached Jamard..
[enlightenment! Awaken new abilities.]
[Lineage: Awakening to sharing pain.]
[Lineage: Pain sharing is affected by Continuity: Superior lineage..]
So bad so bad…
When Jamard's lower body completely turned into stone, the two were finally connected..
The spirit of snowfall soon caught up with the wind that was pouring down on Jamad..
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!
‘Ughhh….’
The son-in-law becomes dark..
The whole place turned black, but a faint light came from the front..
Simply walking causes all your senses to become filled with pain. Even though Kang Seol felt like she was going to lose her mind from the pain, she remembered someone and persevered..
‘More than this… It was a worse pain?’
The pain that Jamad endured must have been twice as much as the pain that Kang Seol is experiencing now..
Because now Kangseol is sharing his pain..
“Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
Screams come naturally out of the mouth..
There's nothing I can do about this pain.
Can not help it….
Snowfall instinctively recognized that she had to move toward the light. All you have to do is walk.
‘but….’
The concept of walking felt so heavy..
The more I walked, the worse the pain got..
Jeopuk…
‘Ughhh….’
difficult to walk.
It's hard to walk.
I can't walk.
I don't want to walk.
‘Won't you walk?….’
If this is to overcome the supreme wall, does that mean that everyone who reaches it must suffer this much?.
It's so painful…
so great.
I was overwhelmed by it..
dump…
That was when Kangseol lost his strength and put one knee on the floor..
“Ugh….”
Seueuugh…
“Ugh….”
someone was groaning.
I heard him moving little by little..
Snowfall opened her eyes in pain..
‘…oh my god.’
Jamard was crawling on the floor.
He was already overcome by pain and was facing forward with his eyes closed..
Maybe my senses were torn apart by too much pain. That sight caused snowfall.
Jeopuk…
Jeopuk…
It was painful, but not as painful as watching him..
Before I knew it, the light was getting closer.
Seueuugh…
Only then did Jamard stand up and start walking..
“No more… no more….”
he stopped.
Have I run out of energy?.
Tuk…
Snowfall hit his backboard..
“…Snowfall, is that you??”
“okay.”
It was reported that Jamard was smiling..
Jamard giggled and blurted out a word..
“You looked ugly..”
“…….”
“I can't walk anymore. I'm out of strength. so….”
“I get it.”
Snowfall pushed Jamard's back with her shoulder and together they headed towards the light..
Hwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
It was a moment of mental collapse and reassembly..
* * *
Blah blah blah-!
Puuk…
Jamard has completely turned into stone..
Kang Seol bowed his head and showed no reaction..
Tantuinu closed his eyes..
“You failed... Oh my, this can't be happening….”
“……”
“Old tree, can’t even a snowfall take your breath away??”
right then.
“Hehehehe… It's special, it's really special.”
“…yes?”
“They have achieved it, young dragon. These little creatures did it themselves.”
“what is that….”
right then.
“Wow….”
Snowfall raised her head and hurriedly removed her hand from the stem..
There was blood at the corner of his mouth..
“snowfall!”
Tantuinu came and supported him..
“ha… ha….”
When pain and patience stand side by side, joy comes. The world she glimpsed briefly as she blindly walked through a tunnel filled with light made Kang Seol feel both frustration and joy at the same time..
The question of whether one can reach that light on one's own and the excitement of peeking behind it..
“Is it okay??”
“Ahhh….”
Instead of answering, Kangseol looked at Jamad..
He has completely turned into stone.
Tantuinu lowered his head..
“Jamard is….”
Jeokjeok…
At that time, Jamard's statue began to crack..
“Oh my... medical charge….”
Blah blah blah blah…
So so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so0-!
Kwaziyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy…
Jamaard's statue completely collapsed, and something awakened within it..
A being that is not black but a complete entity.
Whioooooooooooo…
[Get rid of it! Break free from the shadows.]
[You can define your own entity.]
A troll with small lines on its body and skin that was partly like rock looked back..
“I feel like I was born again.”
Kangseol and Jamad looked at each other and laughed..
[Walking San Jamard is born!]
[The walking mountain jamad reaches the state of complete supremacy..]
