31The second piece overturns the game board (Episode 450)
Karen asked, looking at the fire that displayed its unique power..
“…what is this fire?”
- The flame used to create Jin. It's pure, powerful power..
Jian muttered..
“The legend that Jinn was born from fire wasn't a lie.….”
Karen was fascinated by this power, but also questioned Razin's intentions..
“Rajin, why did you create Jin??”
- …….
Grumbling…
Rajin shuddered and flinched..
- yet again….
Montra's patron saint missed something.
- I wanted to go back to that time again.
“…ah. Jin was created to imitate the guardian castle..”
Rajin wanted to go back to the time when there were many similar beings besides him..
To a time when Rajin didn't have to be special. To a time when it was okay to just be normal..
Karen chuckled..
“So, how do you feel??”
- Jin is a powerful being, but it is different from the Guardian Castle. They all only follow my intentions and have no purpose like the guardian star..
“…is it.”
The reason Rajin feels a strong sense of kinship with Karen and Karuna. This is because at one time, they were united around the powerful premise of protecting Montra..
Those who worshiped Jin used to say that Jin was wise. However, to be precise, this is incorrect..
Jin is just not stupid..
Like Rajin, he is a being who has no intention or will to devote his whole heart to something..
That's why Rajin is lonely.
Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssd…
Tuk…
A red crystal fell into Karen's hand..
- That decision will give you direction. It's been a week since those seeking the fragments headed to the sealed location. Since there hasn't been any news yet, there's probably a problem..
“Things to note?”
- If the door is fine, leave the seal as is, but if something is wrong with the door, kill Jin. That's what I said to him.
Ugh…
- Karen, let me say the same thing to you..
Tuk…
Karen smiled brightly as she put a red crystal in her waist pocket..
“It's easy.”
Karen turned around, smiled at Kang Seol, and was about to leave to fulfill her mission. As if she remembered something, she asked Rajin..
“You know, Razin! You can ask me anything?”
- Is it important??
“It might be important... Maybe not. Maybe it's a childish thing to say.”
- It's like Karen. I'll answer your questions.
Karen asked, scratching her head. She also finds the level of her questions embarrassing..
“I used to be confident, but after meeting Rajin, I suddenly don't know. Hey….”
The question she asked Rajin was a very simple question..
However, Rajin felt a resonance within him. And she created another line that connected her.
- Let me answer your question. Karen…
* * *
Jeopuk…
Jeopuk…
Siaaaaaa-!
A red snake fell from the ceiling and opened its mouth wide. Judging by the momentum, it looks like it's trying to devour the man in the falling position in one bite..
pot-!
Paaaat-!
The man raised both arms upward and wrapped magic around them..
Whioooooooo…
As the dreary gray magical power swirled around, the shape of the arm became blurred..
And soon something amazing happened.
kii……
Pusssssss…
Before the snake could eat the man, it turned into crumbs and disappeared..
The huge monster rotted and crumbled in an instant..
“This place is really annoying..”
Where the snake fell, the path it had taken was clearly visible..
Even the corpses of the monsters that fought with the man's minions.
Of course there were no living creatures..
The man was left alone and accepted it..
The subordinates were just a nuisance to begin with and did not have a special bond..
Rugier of Corruption.
He was the successor to a northern outskirt kingdom that did not belong to the Federation. Although it is now destroyed, the name of Rugier is still known to those around him..
And by the time his name hit the feds, there was a huge bounty on his head..
He was currently a member of Congress. It was also Rugier who received the opportunity to give Rajin a fair test..
“I understand now that these guys are out of their minds..”
Razin's test was cruel, beyond vicious. The depth of the crater where the fallen Jin was confined was more vivid than any hell Luzier had ever experienced..
Within a week, all of his subordinates except Lujier collapsed. Half of those who fell during the battle.
The other half collapsed while complaining of mental distress..
“I would have arrived much faster if I hadn't brought a lot of luggage from the beginning..”
This was the only comment Luzier could make after losing all his subordinates. And when his subjective review was judged objectively, it was not wrong..
It was only after all of his subordinates were killed that the pace began to pick up. Not having to worry about anyone meant that Lu Jie could use his abilities to the fullest..
His powers were wide and lethal..
“I'll have to say that next time I'll go alone..”
He muttered and stood in front of the door with grooves made of red combs..
The huge door didn't look like a human could dare open it..
“The door is fine. In vain.”
At that time, the voice of an evil person was heard from inside..
- Has Rajin's drop arrived?….
“…You know how to speak?”
- The name and color is Jin. I can understand everything you guys say in just a few minutes..
“I see, it's pretty good..”
Lujie grinned..
“You're trying to trick me?”
- you? why?
“That's because you can't get out of there. Usually, you trick foolish people into opening the door.?”
- Tsk tsk tsk… It's only appealing if the level is right..
“…Saying that the level is not right?”
Jin's voice was very calm and peaceful, unlike what Rajin said..
- My power is not something that an inferior person like you would covet who cannot even handle the power I have..
inferior.
It was Rugier’s sore spot..
When his kingdom was destroyed, the words his father, the late king, said as he fell by the sword still haunted Lu Jie..
If only you were a little better.
“…gibberish.”
- The power of life and death is more powerful than anything else. Just as Rajin's flame bloomed life and created all djinn, a matching power can destroy all djinn..
“My strength... That's about it?”
- I'm just saying possibilities. If you were you now, you would have died the moment you were placed in front of Jin..
eat…
Rugier laughed..
“It was quite a plausible persuasion. For a guy who is stuck somewhere and just wasting time. Didn't you get subdued by Rajin in the end??”
- Rajin is afraid of me.
“Pfft… How could Razin be afraid of the Jinn he created? sounds that make sense….”
- You were fooled by her. She created all the djinns, but one djinn was the exception..
“…what?”
Luzier was embarrassed..
The power of Rajin, witnessed from a short distance away, was truly worthy of being called the first Jin. I also had no choice but to accept the fact that Razin created all Jinn..
But now, Jin on the other side of the door was saying that wasn't true..
- I am Bisin. Remember my name. I was not born from Rajin's embers.
“then….”
A voice like scraping metal was heard from beyond the door..
- i am the embers.
Luzier said he himself was an ember..
“…I'm telling you to believe it now?”
- It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. Razin created Jin using embers, but infinite creation was beyond reason. The embers rejected Rajin for the last time with the creation of Kunna. and… I woke up from the embers.
Secret history, not secret history.
- The embers are a symbol of life. Many lives were created in it. But paradoxically, death marked the end. With the birth of this rain god.
“…It's definitely an interesting story. I heard you well..”
- Okay, if you know the truth, get the hell out of here. Telling this story was also just a favor towards an unsophisticated being..
Bisin continued to tease Rujie. Luzi had no desire to win or a strong desire to win. He just wanted recognition of his existence..
However, Visin treacherously did not acknowledge Luzier..
“…What will you do if I leave like this??”
- It's an unnecessary question. It has nothing to do with you.
“You asked. What are you going to do?.”
Bishin said, thinking over each word..
- Just be patient. I hope that one day I will meet someone who will gain the truth. I promise him all the glory that comes from doing so..
Luzier blurted out without realizing it..
“To me… Are you saying you're not qualified? Now you are complaining because you can't even open the door.?”
- You are sorely mistaken. A door like this can be opened at any time..
Kugugugugugugung…
the door vibrated.
Kiyiyi profit…
The shape of the door is slightly distorted.
As tears welled up and my vision blurred, the door became blurry..
- Why do you doubt my power even after seeing Rajin not looking for me himself? It's literally as intelligent as an insect..
“Shut up! what do you know!”
- You know… That you are struggling with an inferiority complex and a rough existence..
“stop… you are corrupt I won't listen to you..”
- Corruption? It was packaged quite nicely. Have you not seen Razin's black flame? Do not categorize us by your human standards. Because it makes me nauseous..
“It's definitely okay to talk like you know something.….”
- Your father resented you, Rugier. If you had been a better squire, the kingdom would not have fallen..
With that, Rugier's emotions exploded..
“Aaaah! You son of a bitch! That mouth... mouth….”
- It's over, I'm glad he's such an immature guy..
“…what?”
something was strange.
Rugier felt ominous and looked around. Only then did my blurry vision begin to return to clarity..
“…oh my god.”
He was opening the door now.
With all my might, I tried to push the door open..
A door that humans thought could never be opened was showing through a gap into the dark beyond..
Even that was too much for the monster beyond the door..
- Humans are easy creatures to deal with. Faith decreases and doubt increases. The weak part is inflated and the strong part is marginalized..
“What did you do... what did i do….”
- You are right. Bishin was trapped, unable to open even one of these doors. Until just now.
“why me….”
- By reaching this point, your mind has already been contaminated. The process by which you arrived here was also arranged by me.….
Luzier frowned and shouted as he faced the writhing being in the dark..
“Wait, wait! They say I don’t deserve it! So me….”
- The moment you opened the door, nothing mattered.
“this….”
Black gin enveloped Lu Jie’s body..
- Take it well.
Wood clatter…
“Wow!!”
* * *
…Ouch!
“huh?”
A strange feeling rose up through my body, as if someone's scream had swept through the entire space..
Karen said, picking her ears with a sour expression..
“Did I hear it wrong??”
Tuk…
Grumbling…
Karen grew a flame on her index finger and illuminated the surroundings..
Following the guidance of the red crystal, we moved towards the deep part of the crater and soon the surrounding area became dark..
Rustle…
Kiyi…
A fire-breathing monkey emerged from a crevice in the rock..
sreung…
Fuwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
The monkey was cut in half without even pulling out the sword..
“It's crude. Is this an artificially created monster? why here?”
Karen kicked the monkey's body and moved along the path..
And about an hour has passed.
Tuk…
“what… this.”
The body of the monkey cut down earlier was lying in the same position..
As I followed the road straight, the same place as before appeared..
Kiyi-!
Squeak…
Tuk……
The same monster appeared in the same location.
The same body was placed on top of the monkey's body..
It was a mirage that brought Ruzier and his subordinates to the brink of annihilation..
“It's a trick.”
Cheeeeee…
As she radiated heat, the space around her distorted..
Soon, the clumsily hidden path was revealed..
“I found it!”
Karen found the path that Luzier found after struggling for a week in less than a day..
Sigh…
As Karen entered the path, humming, a sticky and unpleasant sensation came over her..
hook…
Karen extinguished the flame on her index finger and took a stance where she could draw her sword at any time..
Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssd…

A subtle flame lit up her armor..
“…the door is open?”
