31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 355)
Kang Seol naturally looked at the being hanging on his arm at the sound of a comment as if he was watching..
Of course, that didn't mean I could see anything..
“…heartbreak?”
【if… I shouldn't be there?】
“…….”
- It's like running into a local resident while singing in an elevator..
- Moving naturally into the medley!
- Tsk tsk tsk… It could destroy the world... Ah, mom! Just knock and come in! world… what? I didn't say that! Oh, Mom must have heard wrong.!
Kang Seol was prepared to struggle alone in the pitch-black labyrinth, but unexpectedly, she learned that grief could be with her..
【I… Grief should try to find a door right now?】
“…no.”
【You can stay?】
“huh.”
Grief is not a summon and has life, but it cannot be placed in the same box as other creatures..
he is a devil.
In other words, it was a soul and a weapon..
That is why, even though you have stepped into a pitch-black labyrinth, you can travel through all areas without any problems..
Snowfall's heart sank..
It was not a feeling born of any fear or surprise..
This soft, soft feel in my hand made me enjoy the relief of being with someone..
Sze… Zech…
he asked, stroking his heartbreak..
“So, will you help me now? I can't see my friends for a while.”
Thump thump!
I heard the sound of grief pounding in my chest..
【good! Because grief needs to help the weak guy!】
“……okay.”
- Thank you, weakling.?
- Young kids can't lie either.
- Grief is so nice! Help even the weak ones.
- Information) Snowman is able to plant rice using honey chestnuts by himself..
- Even double cropping is possible.
- The problem is that here you may end up planting rice in reverse haha.
It really bothered me to be called a weak guy, but I endured it because it wasn't really wrong..
[The conditions for the hidden adventure ‘Adaptation Period’ are met..]
[A sudden adventure ‘adaptation period’ occurs..]
[This adventure is very dangerous.]
……
The above message popped up in the message window, but unfortunately nothing was visible..
The message window was originally designed to emit soft light so that it could be distinguished, but as darkness engulfed the surroundings, nothing could be seen..
First, we decided to gauge snowfall by assessing the surrounding terrain. From what he remembered, this wasn't such a cozy place. Also, if you were reassured that it was indoors, you could have been hit in the back of the head..
‘The same goes for the Labyrinth of Asceticism and the Underground Garden..’
Obviously, the sky that was visible even though it was underground, and the environment that metastasized arbitrarily were not normal..
The Jet Black Labyrinth also had similarities to them..
‘first floor….’
The texture of the floor is not tidy.
It felt like I was stepping on a wide rock..
‘The place hasn't changed.’
When I went in and out of the pitch-black labyrinth three times in the past, I remember hearing someone say that the floor had this texture..
‘It's a rocky mountain.’
The first starting terrain is a rocky mountain.
It was a forested terrain with several small lakes surrounding it..
‘I brought drinking water, but… I have to go down to the forest because I don't know when I'll be able to escape..’
It was wise from a long-term perspective to go down to the forest where hunting was relatively easy, as the food material was not enough to last for 1,000,000 years..
‘by the way… Did everyone head somewhere else??’
I didn't see where the last two masked people were heading, but I thought we wouldn't run into each other..
And just like the Labyrinth of Asceticism, we will meet again when we reach the end of the Dark Labyrinth..
‘what… I have no intention of meeting you.’
While Snowfall was standing still and thinking, Bitan grabbed her sleeve and dragged her..
【what should we do now?】
“Shhh… You may have enemies, grief. you have to speak quietly.”
【like this?】
The volume of the lament was so loud that even if it was turned down, the volume was still loud..
“more than that.”
【Ugh….】
〔like this?〕
Like a pout! Words of sorrow echoed in my head as if.
I've done something like this many times before, but I've never done it consciously..
- Okay, how did you do it??
Since Kang Seol was already used to talking with summoned beasts, she was able to answer quickly..
〔hmm… Heartbreak will tell you! I tried to speak quietly and that was enough.!〕
- …Well, anyway.
Snowfall fumbled around..
The search has finally begun.
There was an object that gave off a heavy presence nearby..
‘It's a rock. How big is it??’
Snowfall that confirms the width of the rock.
The rock was large enough for several people to spread their arms around it..
Snowfall, carefully checking the surrounding area..
My guess was that it seemed to be a place high up on Dolsan Mountain..
Phew……
Since we had already set sail, I had no intention of looking around the port..
Kang Seol sat down on the floor and crossed his legs..
It wasn't that this posture was particularly comfortable, but from what I heard from Hyemyeong, there was no better posture for doing things that required concentration..
the world of unknown.
where is this place.
Where are you standing again?.
Snowfall had an ability suitable for times like this..
[Intermediate insight activates.]
[Surrounding terrain feels blurry.]
[A strong wind blows.]
[Intermediate insight activates.]
……
Although I couldn't check the messages that came to mind, I felt like the phrase written in the message was stuck in my head..
Important information, such as what the surrounding rocks look like and whether there are cliffs, was relayed to Kangseol..
〔Now what can I do here??〕
- …I have to adapt.
The gates located in the pitch-black labyrinth were not simply trials that had to be passed to obtain rewards..
‘Rather, it is closer to practice..’
That was one of the reasons why I decided to turn this way when the pitch-black labyrinth was revealed..
5dog door.
And the pattern hidden there.
For convenience, it is also called adjunct..
There were hidden symbols of magic in dreams and martial arts in blood. Unfortunately for Kang Seol, there was no separate space in the Jet Black Labyrinth to perform the summoning spell..
Therefore, I had no choice but to choose the original attribute, Shadow, as the next best option, and of course I naturally performed the hidden attribute of this door..
‘The attachment here is….’
weapon skills.
The Shadow Gate had weapon technology as an accessory..
‘Based on her attributes, a woman like Lucia or something should have come here..’
It's your blessing that you ignored my own words to choose carefully..
Anyway, it is true that it felt a bit awkward for a summoner to have weapon skills, but Snow Seol was a transferencer who did not use a dedicated weapon, which is the rarest case among summoners..
He did not use a single weapon that a summoner might use, such as a book of spells, a wand, a staff, or a crystal ball..
‘No, because grief cannot be transformed like that in the first place..’
Grief is a weapon whose properties change as its form changes..
At first it was a lamp, but now it came out of the lamp and walked the world..
The form thoroughly followed the nature of the shadow. When combined with Jamad, it became a sword, and when combined with Karen or Karuna, it became a sword..
The problem is that when the owner, Kang Seol, uses it, the shape of the weapon changes arbitrarily..
‘There's really more than one thing that needs to be fixed.….’
I felt like I knew how messed up I had grown up to be..
Having a flexible form could have been an advantage, but it was the same as saying that there was no single type of weapon that had this advantage..
It was like a pearl on a pig's neck..
Snowfall was planning to make many things right here, no matter how long it took..
All the seasons born after the night raven belong to shadows..
Karuna's Asura and Karen's complete combustion were also like that..
There was nothing of his own..
Abnormal growth eventually reached a plateau..
snow falling down.
ha….
‘What should I start with??’
Snowfall leaned against a rock and tried to organize her plan..
If I didn't hear someone's presence.
thud…
thud…
Since Kangseol was hiding behind a rock, he intentionally killed his presence..
Crrrrrrr…
From the sounds of animals and the stench that reaches the rocks,.
And extraordinary momentum.
‘strong!’
If Jamard had been around, he would have been an easy opponent, but for now, he had to be as careful as possible..
thud…
thud…
disappearing beast.
As the two-legged beast disappeared, Snowfall sighed..
“ha….”
How can I be this weak?.
Bitan waved Snowfall's arm and said.
〔are you okay.〕
“…….”
〔Grief was also hidden.〕
* * *
About a week after Snowfall arrived here, he was able to come down to the forest..
Even in places where there was no light, there was day and night..
It's just that the sun and the moon are not what differentiates them..
Crrrrr…
thud…
thud…
I decided to call the bipedal beasts that walk through the forest night beasts. In fact, it was called that way in the past..
‘It's been a while….’
Night beasts only appear at night.
No, the time period when night beasts appear is called night, so the order may be wrong..
They were all different sizes.
Some animals were as big as a small garden, while others were much smaller than a human being..
‘Can I take it down??’
The power that Snowfall can use now is the power of the spirit obtained from the ruins of Watala..
And a half-sized night raven used without shadow summons..
Even this could not be achieved properly, so even half of the body could not be properly changed..
‘How on earth are you alive? me?’
It might be a miracle in itself to be alive after going through all the twists and turns..
The good news was that Kang Seol knew how to get out of the first gate, or more precisely, how to get to and from the second gate..
‘Hunting night beasts and gathering darkness.’
The problem is that we don't know how much of that number is left..
‘No, I said I could feel words... I'm sure I can feel it too.’
In fact, it was pointless to check how much more darkness needed to be collected..
The purpose of coming here from the beginning was not to obtain the Dark Labyrinth reward, but to become stronger..
He had no plans to get out of here until he was satisfied..
As night fell, Snowfall felt that night animals were gathering one by one in the forest..
Can you fight when you can't even predict the future? Although I was worried, there was an unexpected harvest. The spiritual power gained from the ruins of Wattala had a great effect..
The power of spirit could see through the nature of the night beast..
As if it had been coated with a fluorescent material, it accurately showed the location and behavior of night animals..
the problem is…
Wow…
It was the very essence of a night beast..
Soul inside a black shell.
That was the soul of a loser.
A soul that is not even sure whether it died in the labyrinth.
He didn't have any weapons and his clothes were far from fighting..
The eyes of the human-shaped night beast had no pupils and looked like a walking corpse..
It seemed like there was no reason left..
Phew…
Whoa whoa…
‘can do.’
For the first time in a long time, I felt like I was fighting without relying on the raven..
pot-!
Snowfall moves forward with confidence.
Crrrrrrr…
A night animal that turns its head reflexively.
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-!
The sword was lowered from top to bottom..
but.
Step by step-!
“what….”
I aimed for the largest size and most powerful spirit, but was unable to cut the night beast's ulna, or wrist bone..
Pajjik…
“Ughhh….”
The night beast stretched out its other arm and grabbed Snowfall’s shoulder. That one attack alone made his mind dizzy..
Wow!-!
Snowfall violently kicked the night beast, but instead of pushing the night beast away, Snowfall retreated far away due to the recoil..
“ha… ha….”
- I've only been eating raw so far, haha. I guess I'm not used to eating it cooked.?
- Don’t you like tataki?…
- Ah haha everyone else has grown up like that haha
Snowfall's vision was dark, but the situation seemed to be clearly visible on the viewers' screen..
Paaaat-!
Because it was not a sword arm, the original blood was allowed to recover and the snow rushed forward again..
‘You have to aim for the neck!’
Fortunately, the night beast did not move quickly..
It was just so hard that it was beyond imagination..
Grinding…
Snowfall has the energy of a night crow wrapped around its hands..
His hands soon changed to resemble the skin of the night beast in front of him..
A snowfall that digs into the arms of a night beast and uses the elbow of the arm holding the sword to strike its armpit..
Taaaaaang-!
‘this works!’
A night beast with its arms raised unnaturally.
It was a golden opportunity to slit his head, but the interval was not appropriate..
whilick-!
Snowfall rotated fiercely and swung the sword horizontally..
The night beast's other hand bent at a right angle to stop the grief from swinging towards its throat..
‘cut!’
Chuhwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
A sword cuts through the wrist with a tingling sensation..
At the same time, the floating hands and head.
Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
A night beast that kicks snow as if it still has nerves even though its throat has been cut..
Quasi-profit-!
“Wow!….”
Snowfall flying and hitting trees.
I was hit so hard that I couldn't even move my body..
Couuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
The night beast fell.
[It gathers the darkness.]
[There was very little darkness.]
[The grace of darkness falls.]
[Unexpected talent! Learn intermediate swordsmanship.]
[I understand the movement of the sword quite well..]
……
Even when positive messages came to mind, Kangseol did not lift his head..
The battle was won, but if you made a mistake, you died..
‘me… What are you doing??’
Did you act like you achieved something with these skills?.
It was a poor performance, as if to prove that the movements and strength shown in the raven state were not his..
“Ughhh….”
It seemed like the original blood needed more time to recover..
Snowfall was stuck on the bottom like a flounder and suffered..
Suddenly, grief placed its hand on Kang Seol’s head..
〔are you okay.〕
“…….”
〔It's my first time.〕
After hearing the words of grief, Kangseol bowed down a little more to deal with the pain..
It's been a really long time, and I briefly remembered the first time I was transported to Pandea..
