31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 552)
dddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd…
Gorgozia, where the ground begins to slowly sink.
After the Immortal Ur left, he looked at the survivors..
“…Are they all dead??”
Kwazijic…
Kwazizizik-!
Is there nothing left to fight??
So what did they fight for??
“…ur!”
Ur looked up at the sky.
Han So-mi, riding on Tansia's back, was looking down at him..
“…Yeah, there you were..”
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck…
Tansia dropped off the people she was carrying on her back next to Snowfall and Ur..
It was Han So-mi, John, and Chi-woo who lost their minds..
“Ugh….”
Tancia buried her face in the hem of Ur’s robe. She cried so hard that she felt cold..
Today, countless lives ended here. Nevertheless, he burst into tears because he was unable to find meaning in the end..
“Black… Yes….”
“Tansia, thank you for your hard work..”
“Ugh…….”
“Now leave it to me.”
ur.
his words are always heavy.
The words he spoke were hard as steel and cold as ice..
Therefore, Tansia was able to be comforted..
“…Dad is?”
“Not good.”
He saw Snowfall, whose white eyes were showing, and who looked like she had fainted. Black particles added after the Black Knight lost his life to Grabo..
It was clear that the death of the devil and the death of the black knight were tearing something inside of Kangseol..
Moreover, the twin knights and Kang Seol, who are trapped inside, faced this situation after a terrible fight, so they might collapse from the unbearable pain..
Ur placed a hand on Kangseol’s shoulder. If you can interpret magic waves…
Grinding…
danger reaction.
“…We have to get out of here. If I'm not careful, I might never wake up..”
“What, what? But where is immortality?….”
“Nowadays, snowfall takes precedence over immortality. Losing this time wasn't a big deal. the problem is… Can you make snow fall again?.”
“…….”
Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo…
The sunset tower was collapsing..
“The sunset tower….”
“The first dragon is over there!”
Kwazizizik…
It's already late.
The tower has collapsed and the current will soon eat up the remains..
Gorgozia was sinking.
“It would be best to worry about us first. … Tancia?”
Ur asked Tansia a question with his gaze. Han So-mi shook her head..
“swarm! I can never fly to land! Moreover, after the battle, with so many people on board,….”
“…I'll think of a way.”
If a sharp number came to mind, such as escaping from a land that was rapidly submerging, it would probably be a miracle, but Ur didn't even bother to bring it up..
Hope is fragile and can be extinguished even with the breath we exhale..
“…If it's before, it's possible.”
It wasn't Ur who spoke..
“…Wizard. Did you say Johne??”
“Hehe… okay.”
“Get rid of useless talk. Transfer magic is impossible.”
“The magical torrent that blocked the New World... It's gone. In that case… not enough….”
“The torrent of magical power is not the problem. Considering the distance, the transfer attempt itself with the remaining magic power... Although it may be a risky action, it is possible. the problem is….”
“know… I'm not stronger than you, but... Even so, he is a wizard who has been studying this path for quite some time..”
Jaune leaned back against the rock and gasped. He is an archmage who specializes in transference..
“These are the coordinates. Coordinates are the problem?”
“Yes, ultra long distance… under… Skipping continent after continent... It is impossible to specify coordinates.”
Somi Han intervened..
“Why? If there are set coordinates….”
“Transference is a highly developed magic. There's a difference between making a fireball float out of your hand and instantly freezing things..”
“What a difference.….”
“A wizard doesn't need to know everything about whether to create fireballs or wind from his hands. You don't have to prove everything. To dismiss it, such magic is vague... If you know even a clue, possibility is a level of magic..”
“Are you saying that metastasis is different??”
“Everyone needs to know about metastasis. Because it is magic that intervenes in reality. The margin of error for the required horsepower must be reduced to the limit, and how the target from the initial point is moved to the transition point must be fully understood. … Of course, this is difficult, but it is possible. The problem is the coordinates. These are not coordinates that refer to the ground. Those are the stakes driven through the flow of magic power. Those are the coordinates used for transfer..”
Jaune laughed..
“In a word, it means moving like a dandelion seed blowing in the wind..”
“Are you saying that the coordinates keep changing??”
“That's right, so I usually use short distances that can be seen by sight or a magic circle that has been engraved in advance..”
“Magic circle! If there is a magic circle engraved on Pandea….”
“It's impossible, it won't be able to handle the flow of magical energy and it will be torn apart. If your compass breaks down in the middle of the ocean, it's the same as a disaster..”
“Hey, I don’t have time for this! Just talk calmly….”
Ur shook his head at Han So-mi’s words..
“In any case, with the time we have left, we can only try something once. John, I remember the first thing you said to me..”
- …If it's before, it's possible.
“…I want to hear why.”
Jaune grinned..
“In the history of magic, no wizard has been able to teleport extremely long distances... So, the inter-continental transfer we are trying to do now has never been successful..”
“…….”
“Transference is not magic. It is a highly honed technique and a study with little practicality. what… That means there is no romance. That's why there are a lot of guys who say things like this. but… If I'm right, transference is definitely magic..”
“…keep trying.”
“In my opinion, the core of magic is the distortion of phenomena using concentricity. I want to make fire, I want to make lightning fall, I want to break the ground... same. The pure desire to achieve... It will be achieved in the end.”
“That's also why wizards are greedy.”
“ha ha ha! Cough… Transfer doesn't have that. There are too many processes to cause distortion. Where will you move, where will you go, and how will you get there? Because I have so many worries….”
Kugugoogung Palace…
The shaking of the ground continues.
“My teacher said your transfer magic will one day take care of us.”
“What does it mean??”
“Transfer means reaching things that were completely unreachable. then… Beyond each other’s jealousy and hatred… You will be able to touch the other person's face….”
“…He must be dead.”
“That's right, it failed. The last wizard to attempt ultra-long distance travel and fail. Note that… In history, the number of failures is equal to the number of attempts. of course… It wasn't possible.”
Wow…
I saw the waves slowly rolling in in the distance..
There was not much time left until the land was submerged. But Ur concentrated so as not to miss a word of what Jaune said..
Wizards tear the picture they imagine into pieces and scatter the fragments everywhere. Because it is a delusion born from childhood, it cannot be clearly explained to anyone..
“I thought as my teacher's body was torn into pieces of meat..”
If you are a normal human being, you first feel fear. Then the thoughts that come to that person are limited..
Am I going to be like that too??
Is only a miserable future waiting for you??
However, the wizard thinks differently..
“What was the problem??”
Find out, their desires.
The path of innocence that I definitely want to reach.
Hundreds and thousands of times.
“As expected, these are the coordinates. The flow of magic power scattered throughout the world flows without rules! Then, is it really impossible to fix the coordinates??”
“It is impossible without devouring all the magical power in the world. It's the same as saying you won't make waves in the sea..”
“Kick… giggle giggle….”
“…why are you laughing?”
“you missed it too.”
“what?”
“Transference is not a technology.”
Jaune's eyes were not those of a dying man..
“It's magic.”
“……You mean you did it??”
“There is only one place in Pandea, a place with fixed coordinates..”
“…how?”
Normally people would be suspicious, but Ur is also a mage, so he asked a question rather than a denial..
“It's something I've dedicated my whole life to making. but… I know it has fixed coordinates, but I failed to convert them to coordinates to put into the formula. Hehe… That's the problem.”
Ur pondered those words..
Why is conversion necessary?.
In order to fix the coordinates, you would have needed them in the first place. There's no way you wouldn't know.
“You didn't use spatial coordinates.!”
“Hi-Hi… Hehehehe….”
“What is fixed? Is it time? What about mediation? what on earth….”
“…Even as I get older, it's a stake I always carry with me.”
Ur has to realize.
The idea that the ordinary-looking wizard in front of me came up with.
That recklessness.
“…memory.”
“I thought you would notice.”
Jaune says.
“The house where I lived with my father. You may be dead now, but whenever I smell your clothes, I always go back there. no… Everyone does that, right? Anytime, anywhere… I have a memory of being able to go there..”
“This is a bizarre and terrible idea! Even dozens of lives are not enough!”
“I was able to embody the smell of my father’s clothes using a formula. It's still in my head. Now, all that remains is to convert my memories into coordinates. I'm ordinary and a bit stupid, so I can't go that far..”
Dedddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd…
“Hey, the waves….”
Han So-mi's warning.
Far away, a wave was forming that would surely become a tsunami if it reached this place..
There is no time to hesitate anymore.
Jaune closed his eyes..
“If you….”
“There is no time. Let's try it now.”
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
Ur put his hand on the top of Jaune's head and closed his eyes..
Jaune left a message to him..
“Even if you see an unpleasant scene, pretend not to notice..”
* * *
A musty smell.
It's mold.
It smells like mold.
And the smell of the waste left behind by the mice that always stay under the same roof..
“Damn it! John! This miserable and useless guy!”
A middle-aged man who was very drunk stomped on the head of a younger man and shouted..
“sick… it hurts….”
“you are trash Garbage that is of no help to the world! Even if I kill you, no one will blame me, right? Because you were cursed from birth.”
“Please stop….”
“Your father was a horse herder and died by drowning in a reservoir. Your mother hung herself, giving her life to her one-time love! Heeheehee! The result is a short and ugly guy like you.….”
Abuse that a child cannot handle.
Kwasik…
Kwasik-!
“wake up!”
“Ahhhh!”
Whoa whoa-!
It was only after he stuck his fist in Jaune's face that the man became quiet..
Blood flowed from Jaune's nose..
“dare… Do you look at me funny? Me, the one who took you and kept you alive?”
“I've never looked down on you….”
“Shut up!”
I started thinking again about the wizard named Jaune..
This man is a flawless wizard..
The memories used for coordinates were not memories..
It is the pain of childhood that sticks like a thorn and cannot be forgotten..
He cut himself into pieces by thinking about it endlessly so that he could never forget it..
Sreuk…
Johnne took off the clothes of a man who was lying on the bed and trying to fall asleep..
“hmm… you… Useless... guy….”
The smell of clothes wafting over to Jaune..
The smell of alcohol, a woman's anger.
The smell of fear, the smell of hate.
“I am… It's not useless….”
Memories that can never be forgotten.
Words that will come back and pierce my heart at any time.
Ur escapes from Jaune's memories..
“…converted.”
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
ultra long distance metastasis.
Magic that transcends the ocean between continents.
Jaune and Ur burned with magic at the same time..
[Zonega fantasy season: use it then and there.]
[Urga fantasy season: used then and there.]
……
“Ah, Johne..”
Ur reviews.
“Indeed, you have become a great wizard..”
Jaune laughed..
“Yeah, it's useful.?”
Han So-mi sensed something strange and stretched out her hand..
I feel like John is getting further and further away..
“what… John! together….”
“Lady, this is a magic that no one has ever succeeded in. What must not be shaken is... The starting coordinates are also the same..”
“that….”
“therefore….”
The Archmage of Scorpio laughed..
“The coordinates of this place must be me.”
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
A pillar of light enveloped Ur and his party in the sky..
they are gone beyond.
And a tsunami took its place..
Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssst…
Jaune muttered as he was crushed by magic..
“also….”
He was left on the sinking earth along with the corpses. Embracing the painful yesterday, for the tomorrow that someone hopes for.
“It's magic, right?.”
Like any other wizard.
