31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 356)
“…How can this happen??”
This is the past that snowfall experienced in heaven.
“What happen?”
Seeing him muttering as he rarely gets agitated, players flock from all around him..
“oh? this….”
“Is this really it??”
“fate… Do you mean to say?”
fate.
I didn't know it at the time, but even the gods did not use the word fate carelessly. Anyway, at that time, Snowfall experienced a truly fateful moment..
“no….”
A peerless swordsman from an Eastern family whose family business was swordsmanship..
Their parents gave them the names Shin Rip, Shin Hyeon, and Shin Gang..
The eldest son, Shin Rip, was the very image of a trustworthy eldest brother. He was said to be the best among the three brothers due to his powerful strength and his use of a heavy sword to match his strength..
The second child, Shin Hyeon, had a cheerful side that seemed somewhat fair, but he could swing an invisible sword as soon as he held it. Since he was the most active in outdoor activities, his name has already stirred up excitement in the East..
And Shin Kang, the third and final child, had different talents than his other brothers. No matter who he faced, he never lost his composure and was unwavering in his swordsmanship..
Those who own his sword are heavenly swords (天劍).).
In other words, it was said to be a sword sent from heaven..
Shinkang always rejected this name because it was too embarrassing, but he had no choice but to wear that name because it was constantly being used. His nature resembled his sword: he spoke little and was thorough and meticulous..
In this way, the brothers' swords all resembled their owners. People called them the One Swordman, the Two Swordmen, and the Three Swordsmen..
Although it was an old-fashioned nickname, it was also the word that best described them..
They wandered the continent to achieve a higher level, and at this time, Kang Seol's horse was Shin Rip, the eldest of the three brothers..
Since I had two trustworthy colleagues, I didn't bother making other colleagues..
Just like that, the group, whose reputation grew as they wandered the continent, reached the pitch-black labyrinth..
At that time, snowfall was confident.
These three will be able to conquer the labyrinth..
The three headed to different doors..
Shin Rip, the eldest and Kang Seol's horse, disappeared into the Gate of Blood, Shin Hyeon, the second, disappeared into the Gate of Light, and Shin Kang, the youngest, disappeared into the Gate of Darkness..
And Shin Rip died..
there was no sign.
He was eaten and died in the pitch black..
Because of this, Snowfall suffered greatly and could not even look at the eternal world for several days..
However, it was his concern for his other brothers that brought him back to the game board..
What happened to the second children, Shinhyeon and Shingang, who were left behind in the labyrinth??
Kang Seol hurriedly played as Shin Hyeon..
He didn't hesitate because the other brothers gave him as much affection as Shinrip..
When playing the world of eternity, you often come back to life as a character around Mal, and this was also the case in this case. The rule was that a horse that was stronger than that level could not be owned, but at that time, the Shin brothers were able to take ownership because they were just more talented than others..
But unfortunately it's a little late.
By the time Kang Seol took his authority, Shin Hyeon had already been eaten by the labyrinth..
Unable to stop the tragedy, Kang Seol rejected everyone's dissuasion and took possession of Xin Kang, the third child..
Xinjiang was not eaten by the labyrinth..
However, he was still standing in the middle of the demonic landscape. The hellish days in the labyrinth of Xinjiang continued..
he became stronger.
However, this did not mean that they could find the bodies of their brothers or take revenge on them. However, it just got stronger..
When he finally escaped the labyrinth without an arm, he became a swordsman who shook the continent..
And one day, as time passes, we will challenge humanity's greatest achievement, ascension..

[It gathers the darkness.]
[There was very little darkness.]
[The grace of darkness falls.]
[Intermediate swordsmanship proficiency increases.]
……
Even if you search all of Pandea, you will not find anyone who seeks the labyrinth for the purpose of training..
except for snowfall.
He dropped everything and began to objectify himself..
The souls usually housed in very small night beasts were also weak. There was a human soul that looked like it had never held a weapon in its life..
Chuhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
Snowfall that evades backwards after cutting its throat.
Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss For…
As soon as the night beast was cut down, the darkness that formed its shell dissipated and flowed into Snowfall..
[It gathers the darkness.]
[There was very little darkness.]
[The grace of darkness falls.]
[Intermediate swordsmanship proficiency increases.]
……
Even though he was only dealing with very small guys, his swordsmanship rose steeply and exponentially..
If other prosecutors had seen this scene, they would have wanted to visit the pitch-black labyrinth at least once, even if it meant risking their lives..
In fact, paradoxically, the current situation was possible because of the achievements that Kang Seol had already made..
The power of the mind was truly the optimal ability for hunting night beasts..
However, the problem was that Snowfall's other abilities were not comparable to it..
〔Grief, today’s work is over.!〕
“Okay, the end..”
The reason why Kangseol was able to endure the frustration was because Bitan was right next to him and talked to him..
When I was having a hard time mentally, I was able to achieve mental stability just by talking to someone..
Snowfall was thankful that Bitan was by her side..
Sigh…
I lifted up my heavy body..
I couldn't sit down.
After spending a few days here, Kang Seol quickly erased the option of returning to Seol Hong from her mind..
Because I found out it was impossible..
‘by the way… My eyes hurt a little….’
I couldn't see, so I closed my eyes..
When you close your eyes, your other senses become sharper and the power of your mind takes over the role of your eyes..
However, for some reason, the burden went to my eyes. I felt like my eyes were sore all day long..
Snowfall splits the day in half when no night beasts appear..
After hunting the night beast, I went through the process of reviewing the fight and refining my movements before falling asleep..
And when night came again, we hunted night beasts..
Training, rest, hunting.
I had a fulfilling day consisting of monotonous processes..
The level of swordsmanship gradually rose to a certain level, as if watching someone climb stairs..
However, now the small night beasts could not obtain skill, let alone darkness..
It must have been around that time..
Setting out to hunt bigger night beasts.
Crumbling…
thud… thud…
It looks similar in size to the night beast that visited the rocky mountain when I first came here..
Strangely enough, the spirit was walking in a straight posture holding a sword. In response, the night beast also appeared to be holding a sword..
‘That is….’
For a moment, an old memory came to mind..
The memories of when I lost Shin Rip and Shin Hyeon..
‘If I fail, I too….’
Since I promised myself not to have any sinister thoughts, I was able to quickly shake the distracting thoughts from my mind..
Phew…
Phew…
Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
Snowfall's attack has become much sharper than before.
An upward curve suitable for the term ‘Ilchwiwoljang’.
However, there is still a long way to go..
Step by step-!
‘It's not even a bone!’
Grief couldn't even cut the skin..
Crumbling…
whilick-!
Partszzzzzzzzzz…
Snowfall that lifted some of the energy of the ravens.
This was the power he could produce now..
“Phew… Concentration.”
Tsupaaaat-!
The opponent's sword strike was much fiercer than the sword strike of Kang Seol just now..
Taaaa-!
“Ugh….”
I almost missed the heartbreak..
I frowned at the pain of my hand being torn apart, but I had to deal with it first..
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-!
You are faster than your opponent.
Snowfall was so sure.
This was the basis for my decision to lower my head and aim for the guy's lower body..
Sigh.-!
I cut my knee.
A night beast flinching and leaning down on one knee..
‘it's okay!’
The moment when the snowfall turns back after deciding that victory has been won.
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!
palms pushing together.
It was impossible to avoid it because the entire front was covered..
I tried to use Nightmare out of habit, but now that the creation was sealed, there was no way to absorb the damage..
‘danger….’
I'm going to have a good time-!
Kuzyjik!
Kujijijik!
For a moment, I couldn't breathe..
Snowfall flew away, breaking trees as if they were bullets..
thud… thud…
“wake up! wake up!”
As the grief deepened, Kangseol suddenly came to his senses. But the night beast was already right around the corner..
Slurp…
A night beast reaching out its hand as if to grab the snowfall..
can't resist.
Die.
The only thing that came to Kang Seol’s mind was this thought:.
I don't want to die.
‘So vain... I… I am….’
The night beast that had caught the snow in its hand slowly grasped its hand..
Crumbling…
The snowfall gave way.
If you can draw on the power of the night raven, you can fight back..
we can get out of here.
You can buy it!
Partszzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!
“Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!”
painful scream.
A burning sensation came to my body..
The shadow that did not invade the arm as a boundary soon began to spread throughout Snowfall's whole body..
[Takes the form of a raven.]
[It's in an unstable state.]
[Force shadow overwriting.]
“Aaaaaaaaaaa!”
Krrrraaaa!
A night beast that is startled by the pain felt from the hand and beats the snow away..
Snowfall suddenly got up and ran towards the forest..
“Huh... Heo Eok….”
There was a hint of darkness in his hands and mouth..
Out of urgency, he grabbed my hand and bit it..
〔no! calm down! need to calm down!〕
“Huh... Huh... Huh?….”
I ran and ran and found a small lake.
I can't see it, but I can see it.
The power of the spirit illuminated the image of snowfall projected there..
Imperfect Raven.
An ugly, distorted figure as if covered in a black bag, and darkness around the mouth..
This wasn't snowfall.
The night beast he had been hunting for so long was bereft of reason..
looked just like them.
〔Calm down now….〕
“Ahhh… iced coffee….”
〔Come back! you idiot!〕
It is a side effect of using too much force..
Snowfall's pupils began to lose their light..
Ugh…
Wow…
Darkness leaked out from the corner of my mouth..
Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
In an instant, Snowfall flew back the way it had come and lunged at the night beast with which it had just crossed swords..
This time, without any grief, with my bare body.
Like an animal.
“Wow!”
That was the fragmentary memory he remembered from the labyrinth..
Sigh.-!
Fuwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Ugh…
[The grace of darkness falls.]
[Embraced in the arms of darkness.]
……
* * *
From then on, I only received fragmentary information, like a light bulb blinking..
Tore something, tore something apart.
And that process was repeated for quite some time..
I could feel it. The energy of the air has already changed several times..
And sometimes I hear someone's voice.
〔…You know, it's okay..〕
Ugh…
At that time, my senses came back with a flash..
〔It's boring, but it'll get better someday.〕
something.
I guess there was something I had to do.
After a few flickering memories, this time I was faced with a powerful moment..
【stop! don't kill me!】
“huh? This guy even talks?”
“…what? Really??”
“Because it's true?”
A voice as if heard underwater.
I instinctively rushed towards that voice..
Now my vision is back.
Huh…
Suddenly, a suspicious sword appeared..
It was a ghost-like swordsmanship, as if it had just appeared out of thin air..
Wow-!
My head was grabbed and my neck was in contact with the sword..
Ugh…
can't speak out.
“I thought this guy was strange, but was he really a night beast??”
【don't do it! Snowfall is a person! It's not a beast!”】
“…It's a person?”
Kwazijic…
One side of the snowfall's face broke down.
To be exact, the shadow on one side has come off..
His appearance is bizarre, as if part of his mask is broken..
Beyond the black shadows, his still warm skin was revealed..
Light returned to the pupil.
“…This guy isn't dead. older brother.”
“…Are you talking about living??”
“Hehehe… Heeheehee! Unbelievable! Oh no! You're really still alive?”
That… Jeopuk…
A man approaches and makes eye contact.
His beard and eyebrows had grown so much that he only occasionally showed flashing eyes..
And I felt that those eyes were very intense..
“Are you still alive??”
“…uh.”
“You were eaten by the labyrinth just now. How do you stay conscious??”
“…want.”
“I want to live?”
Even now, when things got to the worst, Snowfall muttered the words she still had in her heart..
“You have to be strong... I am….”
“…You're crazy..”
Another man next to him laughed..
“Heeheehee! I like it! First of all, you're alive! We are dead!”
“Who said they don't like it??”
“Brother too….”
“I like him more because he’s crazy..”
Kang Seol trembled and tried to examine the situation. He didn't even know what had happened to him just now..
I was out of my mind..
“You… who….”
“we?”
Partszzzzzt…
The souls of the two men were instantly consumed by darkness..
But the power of spirit showed that they were not eaten..
Whoa whoa…
The intense light emanating from the flashing eye light and the sword of the so-called younger brother..
Although this place was filled with the darkness of a labyrinth, the fact that they were clearly creating light did not change..
“Shinrip.”
“It's Shinhyeon, you bastard..”
Shinrip…
Shinrip!
Snowfall's eyes turned to Shin Rip..
Shin Rip said to Kang Seol who was looking at him..
“We are the pitch-black dead. You were like that too until just now..”
“I am….”
“It is impossible for us to escape the labyrinth. but….”
Whoa whoa…
Shin Rip sticks his sword into the floor.
If there are lights in the pitch-black labyrinth, they are them..
Ilgeomho Shinrip.
Geomho Lee, Hyun Shin.
“I know how to become strong... Okay, are you interested??”
For a long time, Kangseol tried to make a smiling expression by forcing his stiff face into a frown..
“crazy guy.”
These are the darkest lights.
Snowfall was the most foolish moth that rushed to the light.
