31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 527)
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
When the wall was destroyed, the size of the ruins became enormous. The more I broke through the ruins, the more I seemed to be heading towards the roots of the trees..
Kwagagagagagagag-!
It seemed like the Black Knight would soon give himself up to Mobs. A thought flashed through my mind that maybe it would be better if I just let him get caught like this..
- …Maybe it's my turn this time.
‘…Damn it.’
It bothered me that the Black Knight so calmly called himself an ally..
“There is a door at the end of the ruins that won't open! You just have to go there!”
Snowfall shouting at the Black Knight.
Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
And again, it made a loud noise and became the target of the mobs..
At this time, it didn't matter how much Jiang Xue knew about the structure of the ruins..
“…It won't open?”
Yes.
In the past when I lived as a mob, that door continued to exist. With it firmly closed.
Mobs paid no attention to the door after that. No, there were times when it felt like he was deliberately avoiding.
Snowfall thought that the door was the only way to solve this situation that had already opened..
…For now.
“If it doesn't open?”
“Then I went and thought… Hmm!”
Kwajajajajajajajak-!
[Mobs use flutter.]
[When chasing a target, your action speed gradually increases every 5 seconds..]
[Increased action speed lasts until the end of the battle.]
……
‘…When did this damn snake develop something like this?!’
The ruins were changed from a straight line to a structure that drops downward. It seemed like he was now heading towards the roots in earnest..
Kwagagagagagagag-!
“a little faster….”
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
Karen shouted, blowing away the remains of the ruins blocking her path..
“Change it, Karuna.!”
“…Not yet.”
“Ahhhhh!”
Kwaaaaang-!
Mobs' body was like a castle in itself. If humans fight against sex, anyone will side with sex..
This monstrous snake's body did not allow attacks and only unilaterally destroyed its surroundings..
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
If anyone made a mistake, the distance between them and the mobs would narrow. Fortunately, Snow Seol was vaguely aware of the points to be careful of, so no major problems arose, but if he was careful, he could have been smashed before he even got to the door..
“…I see it over there.”
The Black Knight said while looking at the door in the distance..
“hey! It's your turn!”
When Karen shouted at the Black Knight, he wrinkled his nose and let out a roar..
Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
Goal passed to the Black Knight.
Now how do I open that door?….
Kugu Palace…
coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo co…
“…opens?”
“Just jump in!”
For some reason, the door opened as if waiting for Kang Seol and the others, and a pure white light came out from inside..
There was no need to hesitate, no time.
The maw of Mobs has arrived right in front of the door..
Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
Couuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
The door closed after the Black Knight..
Crumbling…
The sad cry of a monster lingered outside..
“ha… ha….”
“Phew… Phew… If we fought, I would cut you with a single sword..”
“…Before?”
“That's about half a knife. It wasn't a single knife, right??”
“you're right. Phew… Fighting a monster isn't something a knight should do..”
Even Karuna joined in to decorate the chase against the mobs..
“It was a scary monster..”
“…….”
“yes?”
When the Black Knight said that, the twin knights also acknowledged it. If you had fought under favorable conditions against mobs in the Hall of Guardians, you would probably have suffered a lot..
After lying down for a moment, catching their breath, the group began to look around..
“so… Where are we??”
“I don't know either. What's beyond the door?.”
“Umm… If the owner doesn't know, it means he really doesn't know..”
“Master, look this way..”
“karuna?”
Karuna said, pointing to one side. As Snowfall quickly approached, there was a letter floating in the air with such a unique energy that it could be seen even in the light..
“…message?”
“It seems to be a password, probably..”
“It's a password….”
The Black Knight also rested his chin and looked around..
Whoa whoa…
The text of the example discovered by Karuna has appeared once again..
“…uh?”
“There too….”
Whoa whoa…
Whoa whoa…
Characters that appear here and there.
It appeared as if the walls of a cylindrical room were filled with letters..
“This text... somewhere….”
“What I saw… same….”
Slurp…
At that time, a pure white tree appeared in this huge space. To be exact, there are about a dozen people surrounding that tree as well..
- Come on.
- I waited.
What they were saying was conveyed directly to my mind..
“…what?”
“crawl… It was said that?”
Karen and Karuna walked towards the white tree at the same time as if fascinated..
The Black Knight also looked around and approached the pure white beings with them..
Snowfall was alert to this situation..
These beings are friendly to you as soon as you come here to escape the mobs. Moreover, these people were not human..
‘homecoming… fairy?’
They looked like a combination of a dwarf and a fairy. In addition, they are pure white as if their entire body has been bleached. As if my eyes had turned into fairies..
- The promised time has come.
- you are going back again.
“sleep… What is this….”
Snowfall interrupted their conversation..
“What are you talking about? who are you?”
These fairies introduced themselves.
- We are a clan of guardians.
- I have been protecting the seed from the moment this land was born..
I defeated the initiator, but this time something completely different came..
“…seed?”
- Mother Earth is crying.
- Everyone is suffering.
seed.
mother land.
everyone is suffering.
In the midst of interpreting the incomprehensible sounds, Kang Seol seemed to have caught a clue..
“Are you really talking about an incident from two years ago??”
- The power of the stars instead tormented Mother Earth..
- Mother Earth is tired, she's running out of strength.
- All possibilities will fall asleep, maybe... Everyone will die.
- But it's okay because you guys came.
- The seed returns to its original location..
At that time, Kang Seol remembered the fight with the Black Knight a long time ago. So, not the black knight next to me, but the black knight who chased with the black pilgrims..
At that time, when Karuna and the Black Knight came into contact, the Black Knight's memories flowed in..
- Never thought that the item we were aiming for would fall into Jin's hands.…
- Isn’t it thanks to you that it didn’t take this long? By the way, what about that bitch??
- Let's think about it later, even if he died... All you have to do is collect the seeds later..
seed….
‘Yes, the guy who divided Karuna was also related to the Guardians..’
I didn't think much about it at the time, but now that the fact was thrust before my eyes, it was something I had to think about carefully..
“What exactly does the seed say??”
- Seeds are part of the strength that sustains this land. The power that should have been here, in the white tree.
- The seed has been threatened all along. The Hall of Guardians was also destroyed at that time. All the other Guardians are dead and now only one life remains..
“How did it get to them??”
- We couldn't keep the seeds. So I sent it out.
- With guardians sworn to return the seed to this place one day.
Perhaps the seed wandered the world after facing a crisis..
And that is what eventually resided in the bodies of Karen and Karuna. It seemed like the guardians had their own circumstances as well..
- The seed is for you.
Pointing to Karen.
- seed of morning.
Pointing to Karuna and the Black Knight.
- night seed.
“…….”
The black knight was silent.
Karen and Karuna also hesitated in embarrassment..
As if taking advantage of the gap, the guardians dragged their bodies away..
- Come on, let's go.
“what….”
- Go where you belong, benefit the world.
- It won't hurt, it's your noble mission.
Karen and Karuna couldn't shake them off..
“no… we are….”
“strength… I'm losing strength….”
A choice occurred to Kang Seol..
[The twin knights' innate powers came from the seeds that supported the world. The guardians who tended the seeds now say they must return to the White Tree. How would you respond to them??]
1. If it must happen…
2. Do not be ridiculous! They signed a contract with me.!
3. How can I trust you guys to be guardians??
4. Can’t we just return the seeds??
……
If I hesitated, it seemed like Karuna and Karen would touch the white tree..
Paaaat-!
Snowfall immediately took action..
And, someone else too.
“stop!”
Paaaat-!
The Black Knight shook off the guardians clinging to Karen. Snowfall confirmed that he was moving towards Karen and warded off Karuna's surroundings..
- …What are you doing?
“Get your hands off my sister.”
- Are you rejecting your mission? You too are part of the mission.
Kangseol retorted..
“Nonsense! Being born for someone else's purpose is a curse.”
“…Yes, we will decide our own reason for living..”
- Because of your sacrifice, the world will find stability again.?
the black knight says.
“What do you know?.”
After hearing the answer, Kang Seol smiled and added..
“It would be better for the world that has to be maintained in that way to collapse as soon as possible..”
He said that and stayed alert so he could respond to any situation..
Because the guardian’s reaction was unusual,.
- …If so, we too can fulfill our responsibilities as guardians.….
It was then.
Couuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!
Pusssss…
The maw of a black snake broke through the door of the hall..
“I… That bastard!”
“I guess I can't avoid a fight this time.….”
Appearance of uninvited mobs.
However, the guardians' reaction was different..
- Mobs, don't be mad.
- I'm not trying to fight. I did it wrong.
Slurp…
As the black snake's body entered the hall, it gradually shrunk. Its body was changed to look similar to the guardians instead of a snake..
A guy wearing loose clothes and a white eyepatch that matches his uniform..
“By any chance, is that the one remaining guardian I mentioned earlier?….”
- Mobs are the last guardians of the White Tree..
“…….”
- Mobs are angry. Mobs hate fighting.
“They just attacked us?”
- Mobs attack everyone who enters the hall. Mobs have no malice.
Slurp…
Mobs approached Kang Seol..
Grumble…
Mobs who speak the language of beasts.
Kang Seol laughed helplessly and unconsciously stroked Mobs’ head..
- thank you.
“…what?”
- thank you.
Mobs repeating thank you.
Slurp…
Mobs approached the guardians and expressed his thoughts only for them to hear..
- Mobs? That's not allowed.
- Think again, that's…
- I trust them?
I couldn't tell what was being said, but it seemed like Mobs had made a big decision..
- that… mobs…
- …I respect your decision.
One of the guardians approached Kangseol and his party and said:.
- I'll give you some time. But I must come back here someday. When the white tree's life comes to an end, Mother Earth will also see its end..
“Time? Why did I suddenly have time??”
- …Mobs said he would buy time..
“…what?”
Mobs looking back.
Put a smile on your face.
- thank you.
Pusssssss…
Mobs' body began to crumble. For a moment, Kang Seol recalled his past memories..
Because I felt like I knew what she was thankful for. What he learned while retrieving the remains of many horses is that horses that are at a certain level or near death often vaguely realize his identity..
‘no way….’
Snowfall stretched out her hands.
“no! mobs!”
Pusssss…
Mobs' body is completely destroyed..
“…….”
Instead, a small egg appeared underneath it. It looks exactly like the egg from which Mops was born..
- Mobs devoted his life to this.
- But mobs don't die. As long as white trees exist.
- The guardian will forever protect the white tree.
- See you again, mobs.
The guardians hugged the mob egg and shed tears..
“mobs….”
the guardian says.
- I'll let you go. but… Make sure you come back before it's too late. Before Mother Earth expires….
Pussssss…
Blue particles of light scattered from the remains of the mob..
It wrapped around Snowfall's body in an instant..
[‘The legacy of ‘Mobs’ begins..]
