31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 394)
Holding support-!
The light that bloomed from grief was the force that drove Snowfall and Yurim to the very end that winter..
Whoop…
After taking a breath.
Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
I approached Jamard at once..
Umm-!
Jamard paused for a moment due to the change in movement, but that didn't mean he was in danger..
Taaaaaang-!
Jamard's expression after striking the snowfall sword was not good..
“…What a pesky force..”
grip support…
Paat…
snowfall that relieves strength.
‘…It's incredible power.’
My whole body was boiling..
The energy of the storm swept through my entire body, and magical energy enveloped my entire body in an instant..
However, the felt power of snowfall was not just the power of a storm..
Shinyu.
it was his strength.
When his power mixed with the power of the yaksha, it brought about a tremendous synergistic effect..
‘…I can follow you.’
the path of the yaksha.
the world he sees.
Grinding…
As Snowfall once again exerted her strength, a strong energy flowed from the sword..
Jamard glanced at him once and then took a stance..
Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
‘see!’
The blue line is connected.
I swung my sword in pursuit of the line..
Ahhhhh-!
Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
But the sword is immediately blocked.
‘why?’
Crash…
“You're still immature.”
Whoa whoa…
“Pfft….”
The path of the yaksha can be found by penetrating its movements. It did not mean that the Yaksha could see the path alone..
Jamard, who had reached the highest level, was also fully capable of responding to that power..
Although she took a step back, Kangseol wanted to bump into Jamad a little more..
Snowfall moves and Shinyu leads. There was no need to pay particular attention to the hand holding the sword. When one leaves one's body to the flow of Yasha, the sword entrusted to Shinyu moves toward the optimal direction..
“What is this?!”
Heartbreak screamed..
so natural movement.
Kaaaaang!
Kaaaang!
Even though I was thrown off the armor, I was not in danger..
Kaga River!
Kaaaaang!
When I swung my sword and aimed for Jamard's neck, Jamard used his armor to block the sword with the back of his hand..
Whoa whoa…
When the other fist flashed in my face, I bent my waist back and kicked my feet up..
Of course, Jamard avoided the successive attacks by moving sideways like a river and started the next attack..
Kaaaang!
Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…
Kaaaaang!
Cheeeeeeet…
Sweat and blood squirted out in a line, making a mess on the floor..
Like a painting, paint poured out endlessly. Minor wounds regenerated and broken bones healed quickly..
Snowfall's body was close to a monster, but Jamard's recovery power was also incredible, in addition to his origins..
The back-and-forth was uninterrupted. Jamard stopped breathing at some point and made it short..
Bulloooooooo…
Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
“Pfft….”
Whoops…
The battle was so tense..
‘If you make a mistake even once... die for sure.’
The snowfall has now followed the path of all the yakshas. Nevertheless, it was not easy to gain the upper hand..
The power in his fist was enough to collapse a mountain, and the magic spells were all fatal..
it was good.
Dancing on the edge of extreme tension was fun..
The other person was also sincere..
Even if it was fake, even if it was a look from a long time ago, Jamard was doing his best..
Whoa whoa whoa-!
During the attack, Jamard's fist hit Kangseol's face..
Because I prepared in advance, I avoided fainting, but I lost consciousness for a moment..
I stretched out my fists along the path of the Yaksha..
grip support-!
Quasi-profit!
Snowfall's fist also landed in Jamard's chin..
Even while being punched by each other, they did not take their eyes off the other person..
Because they know what fighting is.
Whirly Whirly-!
Paaaaat-!
Kang Seol retreated for a moment, leaving behind the sharp battle. For a moment, he had to regain his stamina..
‘My jaw was broken and my ribs were gone..’
When the original blood was boiling like now, I would have recovered in a few seconds, but I had to catch my breath and prepare for the next move..
Slowly, the burden of the yaksha was accumulating on my body..
My whole body was boiling..
Standing on the battlefield, and knowing that the opponent was my past self, made my whole body boil..
- Seol-ah.
Xin Yu said.
- It's not cold?
Kang Seol chuckled..
“okay… It's cold.”
They were already in the snowy field that winter. Our gazes were looking at the same place.
Sigh…
Jamard was wrapped in armor made of rock..
He preserved his magic power by using it only when absolutely necessary..
Perhaps, he is preparing for great power. Because it was a flow that I often used when I was with Kang Seol..
If Jamard releases that power at once through great magic,….
‘can i stop it?’
doubt about yourself.
Also, it is the disillusionment of one’s weak self..
Suddenly, those words suddenly came to mind..
It was a conversation I had with Shinyu a long time ago..
- Brother Kang said. He faces the wall and he feels like he's getting weird..
Maybe all these doubts started from there?.
- The path you have walked is your proof. You are not weak. Strong? Although it is a different kind of strength than mine. Kang said that all roads eventually come to a crossroads. The same goes for the path you walk..
‘no way… Are you facing a wall??’
His continued criticism and doubts brought Kang Seol to this point. Maybe he didn't even know there was a wall in front of him..
- Seol-ah. How much longer can I hold on??
‘…5 minutes at most.’
When I conveyed my meaning to Shinyu, I immediately heard an answer from him..
- There is a way.
‘…what?’
- For real this time. My brothers told me For sure… You can go one step further. can you trust me?
Kang Seol answered without any doubt..
‘believe.’
There was even a time when I received his sword directly. A sword that was even beautiful.
- ……thank you.
Kangseol turned his eyes to Jamad. He was shaking his head and frowning.
‘…I think they think the same thing..’
- what?
‘Maybe soon… I'm thinking of ending it.’
Kang Seol knew Jamad as well as Shin Yu, or rather, even better than Shin Yu..
I could read your thoughts just by your eyes and facial expressions..
“Pfft… Tsk tsk… It's a shame.”
“…There's a problem?”
“The will of the labyrinth intervened. They talk endlessly about killing you. flea… Well, it's okay if I enjoy it this much..”
“…….”
“Snowfall, do you remember? Memories of this day.”
Here now, it was winter with the snowfall stopped, but it was also the sharp rock mountain where I met Jamard..
“Everything, I remember.”
“I didn't tell you, but... Sometimes memories of this time came to mind..”
Jamard's thoughts that he didn't know about Snowfall.
“You were a restless idiot hiding behind scrap metal, back then you were.”
“…I knew that, but it was a bit harsh..”
“Tsk tsk… Well… well….”
Jamard's eyes became calm..
“You've come this far. The immature guy back then….”
“…….”
“However, the important thing is to take one step. Give it your all. Soon, I will lose control of my body to Labyrinth.….”
I'm sorry…
The magical power of the majestic mountain gathered around him. A great honor given only to those who overcome trials..
That beauty.
“If you die, die to me before then.”
I was able to overcome trials that I thought I could never overcome because I was with him..
However, now is the time to try to stand on your own..
Twaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
Jamard's hands clapped together and his fist was pulled back..
Whioooooooooooo…
It's the final signal..
“Pour it all out on this Jamard.!”
[Jamard uses great magic: stone fist.]
[Deals acid and shadow combined damage to the target..]
Jijijijijijijijik…
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
A huge spell that started from Jamard's hand..
The whole world was full of rocks. The fear Ajanik felt, now snowfall has faced it..
Whoa whoa…
Yaksha, show me the way.
‘…this.’
The blue lines converged in one place. To the center of the giant stone fist.
not avoiding a fight.
Is that the way?.
then.
sreung…
Wow…
Snowfall walked without hesitation towards the end..
If you don't believe in the yakshas, if you don't believe in the divine beings that have been fighting for so many years,….
I wouldn't have made it this far.
I asked Yurim.
Is this the right path?.
Of course there was no answer.
The body is light, the hardships are heavy..
grip support…
the sword cried.
A different energy than before flowed from the sword..
- Seol, our ancestors left this sword in their records. As it remains unfinished.
Time passed slowly.
Maybe Shinyu shared the same feeling..
Otherwise, these words, conveyed solely through intention, may develop as quickly as the thoughts in one's head..
- Apparently, the records say the sword was inspired by fleeing an approaching storm..
Shin Yu’s sword was clearly a storm. However, the storm we experienced that winter was all about fear..
rough and desolate.
- I was a fool. This is not a sword made of fear.
Shin Yu recalled what he heard from Shin Hyeon..
- Our ancestors were people who liked pranks. You must have intentionally twisted important parts of the record..
Our ancestors wanted to make their descendants realize this for themselves..
- In those days, witchcraft was rampant. The slash-and-burn village where our ancestors lived disappeared overnight. … The reason our ancestors ran away was probably not from the storm. In fact, that fact remains in other records that you haven't seen. That's where I found out too..
swarm of magic bandits.
It must have been a group of magic bandits chasing after them, making harsh noises of horses' hooves that resembled thunder..
So there is no storm anywhere in this story?.
- Are you disappointed??
Such a great sword, why?….
- Tsk tsk… There was definitely a storm. That much is clear. You know what I mean.?
Shinhyeon's words left a lot to Shinyu..
- Seol, the storm wasn't chasing you..
there was a storm.
- It was right in front of me. Our ancestors… He didn't run away from the storm.
At that moment, a tremendous flash of light and lightning exploded from Bitan..
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
- The magic bandits chasing after them, and even the traces of being trampled by them. Our ancestors jumped into the dangerous storm that would suck them all in..
not the sword of fear.
- This is the sword of fear.
Holding Holding Holding Holding-!
The sword advanced, cutting through the stone fist. As soon as the sword and the spell met, Kang Seol's mind became distant..
Towards the abyss, fell away.
* * *
The place where I came to my senses was complete darkness.
Just then, a story began.
[A long time ago, a man arrived in Kongori..]
Soon, a scene unfolds like a landscape.
It was a time when the snowfall had spread and we were just starting to get used to it..
[The man was weak, but he gradually gathered his strength..]
Ahhhhh-!
A bloody battle unfolded on the sharp rock mountain..
[Defeat the leader of the Rock Fang….]
Numerous incidents that occurred in the Great Forest.
[There were many incidents in the large forest adjacent to Nobira..]
[The world the man experienced was only negativity and sadness..]
- Heroes are lazy. You didn't save me. me… me….
- I am… He is a villain.
[Life wandered in search of light.]
- And while living, if possible, sometimes do good deeds..
- Please kill my brother, Jamard. That cursed body... Please kill me….
- Everny, it’s okay to fail. Because they are wizards, because wizards are a group of people who always fail..
[You must be exhausted. No, she's tired..]
[There was no light anywhere.]
[The man walks lonely through a world full of despair..]
snowfall walked slowly.
Suddenly, I sensed that a celebrity had appeared around me..
[Look around.]
I saw familiar faces.
Toki, Kiri, Zilliac.
All the horses he had experienced were walking around him one by one..
Snowfall walked in a daze..
As if possessed, forward.
[It's all the same. Even though I am trampled by many things, I have no choice but to get through it..]
[The man gathered his devastated heart and headed forward again..]
[Trials were always presented before him. Ah, everything. It's a library of all things..]
- I will banish them from the world..
[Yeah, this happened too..]
- really… You came….
[This… Yacha? Oops, let's talk about this later. It's going to be quite a long story..]
- I'm back from hell.
[Who would have known that a relationship that started from scratch would turn the North upside down??]
[The man had many other things going on. A chase with a vicious dragon, and a complex story involving the princess of an empire..]
[You've exhausted him from start to finish..]
After a while, the words came out again..
[Now again, look around.]
There wasn't.
There was no one around..
[The path the man walked was faster than anyone else's and rougher than anyone else's. Maybe it's natural to fall.]
- Okay, from here on I have to walk alone..
[It's okay to fall once in a while?]
[Falling is another proof that you are walking..]
Hehehe…
The day suddenly became cold.
[Something unexpected happens to such a man..]
- It's a surprise! What are you thinking, Seol??
[I met a girl in my dream..]
[The girl changed many aspects of the man..]
[Their meeting sparked countless sparks..]
[also… It hurt too.]
- Let's go back, let's go back together….
- …I am yaksha.
[That's right, it's the owner of the hideous mask she saw earlier. Isn’t it amazing??]
[Her existence represents the cruelty of the world..]
- Black… You can't pretend it never happened, Seol-ah. What we had... Everything that happened to me, Yurim… I couldn't make it happen like it never happened.
[Even though she is such a kind girl.]
[what? How much did we talk about??]
Jeopuk…
Jeopuk…
Kangseol realized where this place was. I knew it because it was a place I wanted to reach for so long..
[Are we there already? Well, then let me ask you.]
[You are at a critical crossroads. We've already come this far.]
The snowfall has stopped.
Since arriving here, I haven't stopped once..
However, I had no choice but to stop before the light came..
Because she is there.
No, everyone was there, including Yoohyeon..
was looking at him.
[is the girl smiling?]
Yurim took off her mask and was smiling brightly..
“…yes.”
[okay. So, what are you going to do??]
[Are you going to stop here??]
Snowfall shook her head..
he started walking.
slowly… very slowly…
went towards the light.
[This is the intersection.]
[Where all paths intertwine.]
[you are there now.]
This is the tunnel where Jamard and Karen encountered light..
Another name for that place, intersection.
[run.]
widely…
Cracking…
I started running.
“Huh... Heo Eok….”
I was out of breath..
I felt like my head was going to explode.
There was no sound in my ears except my breathing and the sound of my feet hitting the ground..
It soon became music.
[You must not forget.]
[that you are free.]
[that you are infinite.]
[Raven of the Veil, it's time to soar.]
I ran on an endless runway.
faster than anyone else.
stronger than anyone else.
took a step.
Dadada…
“ha… ha….”
And finally, I came out of the long tunnel..
As I came out of the light, I saw faces I missed..
Their faces are blurred, but they were all his descendants..
Karen and Karuna.
Jamad and Ur.
everyone was waiting there.
[This is a man's story.]
[No, it's your story..]
At that moment, the world disappeared.
Fuuuuuuk-!
After stabbing something hard.
“Pfft… Tsk tsk… In the end like this... It works.”
“…….”
The sword dug into Jamard's chest..
Kangseol made eye contact with Jamad with shining eyes and then grinned..
“…Serve.”
[your story will continue.]
[Your footsteps are the era.]
“iced coffee… That's right….”
[Have the world beneath your feet. Giant of the times.]
[The darkest light….]
Jamard's head slowly tilted downward..
“I miss you… That's right.”
[A giant of the era is born!]
[Climb to the highest level!]
[Successfully complete the lore adventure ‘The Darkest Light’.]
[The transmission of power begins.]
