31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 451)
Whoa whoa…
Cheeeeee…
Even as the uncomfortable heat eroded the surrounding rock, Karen calmly moved forward..
She seemed somehow in a good mood.
Consistently since the last conversation with Rajin.
- I used to be confident, but after meeting Rajin, I suddenly don't know. Hey….
“As expected, it was nice to meet Rajin. Such luck again... hmm?”
Before Karen knew it, she had arrived in front of the large door..
“The smell of blood... It's terrible.”
The door with the comb pattern was firmly in place..
Shut your mouth tight, the door looks like it'll never open.
eat…
“It's cheap, this shit.”
Whoa whoa…
Once again, tremendous heat gathered in Karen's hands..
Cheeeeee…
When her hand touched the door, something strange happened.
The door that had been closed tightly was gone, and a door with a large gap was already there..
kick…
A sneer was heard from behind her..
“You have more sense than the idiot who came before you..”
Jin's voice and human voice came out at the same time..
To be exact, the jinn ate humans..
“ha… Why does something always happen and appear? Are you being punished for being late often? If you had sent it to me first, this wouldn't have happened..”
“You seem pretty confident. If you had come first, this body would have been satisfied without complaint..”
Bishin saw that Karen was not affected by the craze of corruption, and realized that his opponent's skills were much stronger than Lujie's who came before him..
“The rain god, the rotting rain god..”
“your name? I'm Karen. You are the one who was sealed here.?”
“It was like that a while ago.”
“hmm… Can you please go back inside that door??”
“Are there any other options??”
“I told him to come back if he was behind the door, but he also told me to do whatever he could if the door was open..”
“Those are Rajin’s words. What do you think??”
“I plan to do something. Even though I'm like this, I tend to listen well..”
Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk…
Feishin laughed in Lu Jie's body..
“is it… Rajin sent another idiot..”
“You seem quite close to Rajin? Can't we just stop doing bad things? It's good to get along well.”
“You smell similar to Razin..”
“What, what?”
Karen was startled, raised her arms and sniffed..
“I washed it, what is it??”
“…A hypocritical and arrogant person.”
“…Do you know it just by smelling it? Gakone?”
Karen peeked open the door and frowned. It was filled with the corpses of the members of the council who had visited this place. It was full of traces of the animal taking a bite..
“It won't work, if you pick up anything.”
“Are you a colleague??”
“No, it's the enemy.”
“After all, you are a hypocrite..”
“…I killed them all?”
Bisin didn't answer..
Clap…
Karen raised one hand in swordsmanship..
Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssd…
With that alone, the momentum changed dramatically..
“I can't help it.”
“You're making a fuss about a mere piece of meat..”
Any further conversation was meaningless..
Bishin opened one hand wide and pointed it at Karen..
“Rot.”
[I use “Let the Rain God Rot!”.]
[Rot! replaces the basic attack. All attacks and abilities of the target take on the trait of corruption..]
[Corruption stacks up to 100 and deals significant damage once when the maximum stack is reached..]
Hwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
Without warning, a corruptive energy rushed into Karen..
pot-!
Karen tried to shake off the rain god's energy by making a large circle..
“no use. It's only delayed, it's inevitable.”
“hmm….”
whilick-!
Pollution that follows persistently.
Karen picked up the pace..
[Karen uses goblin walk.]
[Movement speed skyrockets and damage taken from frontal collisions is greatly reduced..]
[A remnant of fire is left in your path..]
Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
Cheeeeee…
Bishin stretched out one arm more..
Hwaaaaa-!
Another ray of corruption spread out and encroached on my son-in-law..
Karen increased her speed and escaped from the two streams of pollution..
Bishin realized that Karen was spinning around him and left some energy to spare..
Paaang-!
As expected, Karen took advantage of the gap where Bishin's vision was obscured by pollution and came in, swinging her flaming sword..
[Bishin uses fungi.]
[Injects a fungus into the target it hits, which doesn't go away easily.]
[Even if removed, it will proliferate again when exposed to the caster's attacks..]
[Mold accelerates the growth of decay.]
hook…
Whoa whoa whoa-!
Karen knocked Bisin away with a front kick, but he blocked most of the impact by crossing his arms..
Pusssss…
“…Tsk.”
A dark mold had formed on Karen’s gaiters..
Grumbling-!
She wrapped flames around her body and blew away the fungus. However, the fungus was not completely removed and spread throughout her armor..
patter…
Bishin, who had been pinned against the wall, shook himself off and got up. On the outside, there seemed to be no damage..
“I am Jin.”
“so?”
“As long as nothing special happens, you can live forever.”
“also?”
“you are a mayfly.”
“Where is this big mayfly? I'm a fairy.”
“It doesn't mean much. It's the same as a being that will decay and die anyway..”
“Even fairies live long lives... Don't be too dismissive. hmm… More than that, it's something special.….”
Karen grinned..
“Something we want to make, something special just for us.”
[Karen uses incomplete combustion.]
[Depending on your activity level, armor made of flames is added to your armament..]
Her incomplete combustion was originally a power that could only be used in the raven state. However, as she reached her highest level, these limitations disappeared..
Grumbling-!
A helmet formed of flame has been added to Karen's armament..
Clap…
Karen, whose head was enlarged, burst into laughter..
“Look at this, is your head big? It's not funny?”
“…You're crazy. Are you serious about giving it a try??”
“I think I'll lose?”
“Mortal strength and eternal strength are two different things. How do you think it's the same??”
kick…
Karen's appearance disappeared, leaving behind a haze..
When Bishin realized that he had missed her traces, he was startled and stretched out his hands in the direction where he felt her presence..
Paaaaang-!
Cheeeeee…
A situation where one is confused as to whether it is burning or decaying..
Bishin held on to Karen’s sword..
“what… movement….”
Her sword is faster than before.
Karen's face was hidden under the helmet, but her eyes were clearly conveyed..
Her eyes, as transparent as glass, caught fire..
Bishin, feeling cold, raised the power of his entire body and polluted Karen..
“Corrupt! Life!!”
[Bishin uses Aging.]
[Aging can only be used on nearby targets.]
[Maximizes corruption stacks while in contact.]
[Corrodes objects it touches.]
Cheeeeee…
Something happened that should never have happened.
The sword that was created through the efforts of Xiamen and Kangseol, the body of the sword of embers, was rotting away and disappearing..
If the sword body rotted and broke, everything was over. A knight who lost his sword would not be able to win against Bishin..
Bishin, who knew this well, smiled and strengthened the hand holding the sword..
“As expected, I won. Mayfly.”
* * *
This is the story of Karen wandering around, submerged up to her ankles in the supreme lake..
She stayed in nothingness and struggled to advance to the true state..
He did not seek help from Jamad, who arbitrarily reached the highest level first, or from Ur, who would pass by even the highest level without much inspiration..
This is her fight.
Furthermore, it was a matter that she had to experience directly in order to share enlightenment with her brother Karuna..
She fell into meditation all the time. Moving the body was a matter of later, now was the time to sort out enlightenment..
Karen is neither a shaman nor a wizard, so she couldn't help but think of a knight who was stronger than her..
‘…lane.’
Sun Knight Lane.
She tried to remember his teachings for a long time, except while she was sleeping..
It's been quite a difficult time.
The supreme state that I should have reached a long time ago felt so far away. What was seen in Yasha's sword, Rain's teachings.
The two were not clearly connected.
The more I tried, the more I struggled to remember the past, but because it was so long ago, I couldn't remember all of Lane's teachings..
It was frustrating and painful..
Does Rain not appear anymore?.
Did something like escape from his shadow happen?.
‘No, there is no choice..’
Rain was, so to speak, the biggest tree in the world. There was no way I could easily escape the shade under that tree..
As I got used to thinking about his teachings outside of my sleeping time, I eventually came to think of his teachings even when I was sleeping..
Lane, he appeared in my dream.
“Karen.”
“Seup… ah?”
thud-!
“Ouch! head! I'm bleeding?”
“I didn't hit him that hard..”
Karen patted her head and jumped up..
“The sun is high in the sky, are you still taking a nap, you damn kid?.”
“How do you know I'm here….”
“You skipped midday training..”
“It's so hard... I was just trying to get some rest.!”
Sigh…
Lane's hand traced Karen's forehead..
Suddenly…
Open your eyes and check your pupils.
Tzueook…
Open your mouth and check the condition of your tongue and ulna..
“You're fine. Since I skipped the noon training, I have to train until the evening. come out.”
“this person… ha… Okay, Lane..”
Karen has no choice but to trudge to the training ground..
“under!”
“under!”
Even though it was late afternoon, the gymnasium was bustling with activity. Everyone was very sincere about becoming stronger..
“Your seat is here. I'll take a look at it myself, so start with meal 1..”
“I went out to 5 meals yesterday.….”
“1From the ceremony.”
“Huh….”
It wasn't uncommon for Lane to attend training in person, but he usually didn't have enough time for formal knights..
It was to the point where people were complaining that they were giving too much affection to Karen and Karuna, especially since they were not official knights..
Today, too, Lane was directly involved in Karen's training, as if he were Karen's father..
“go away… Everyone is looking at you.”
“Fool, you're watching me when I grow up..”
“I'm not stupid, it's Karen..”
“Stupid Karen, get started..”
“Mr. Lee….”
Wow-!
Wow!-!
This man is clearly a ghost from the East..
It is said that the ghosts of the East always appear at the right moment and torment humans..
“How do you know I missed training?….”
“Strengthen your wrists! If you swing it like that, your joints will be damaged.!”
“Yes….”
“The answer is concise!”
“yes.”
“powerfully!”
“yes!”
Wow!-!
Wow!-!
I have now become quite proficient in the first form of Montra swordsmanship. I didn't want to admit it, but it was thanks to Lane's teachings..
But still, it's hard..
‘It looks like it's going to rain….’
Rumbling…
The sky was suspicious from earlier..
The atmosphere felt like it was going to rain at any moment. The heavy rain was a good excuse to stop training as the indoor training hall was under construction and only the outdoor training hall was available..
Tuk…
Tuk…
‘come! rain!’
The knights who felt the raindrops looked up at the sky and said.
“Showers. Go in, training is over..”
“Oil the seed! If you do it wrong, your armor will rust..”
Just as Karen was about to put down her sword and go in, Lane asked..
“What are you doing??”
“huh? It's raining?”
“What does that have to do with you, Karen??”
“…If it rains, you have to stop training.?”
“who said that?”
“That's right... Everyone says so….”
Lane bent his knees and was at eye level with Karen..
“Since you are not a formal knight, you do not have personal armor, so there is no need for it to rust. Plus, I skipped the noon training and took a break..”
“Training in the rain?”
“Are you not going to fight on a rainy day? You're so picky.!”
“There's so much to fight about on a rainy day!”
He looked at Karen with eyes that seemed to know something..
“many. There are so many. You have to fight on rainy days, snowy days, any day. The other person doesn't care about your circumstances..”
Sigh…
Lane stood up and said.
“If you understand, pick up your sword and take a stand..”
Resistance soared..
“eww… no!”
“Pick up the sword.”
“I hate it! I don't know! I'm going!”
Pak-!
Karen, who struck the sword, turned her back to leave, but Lane spoke behind her..
“Karen, I will be here..”
“…….”
“I'll wait here for you to come.”
When Karen glanced back, Lane showed an expressionless expression..
“I'll finish the rest of my training..”
“Like Lane… I really hate it.”
Shoot aaaaa…
Karen runs away, leaving Lane behind at the training ground..
Since my clothes were wet from the rain, the first thing I did was wash myself with hot water. Lane forgot about it the moment he soaked himself in the hot water. Isn’t a child’s strength quick forgetting?.
Then, I got under the blanket and laid down the pillow..
