31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 89)
Tuk.
A man who appeared to be one of the relic hunters died that way. It was a somewhat vain death..
“…It looks like their tracking was discovered. The Sulfur Skull must have noticed this and tried to elude them..”
Mael gently closed the man's eyes with a somber expression..
“Didn’t Yu Mira’s hunting party consist of about 20 people? It collapsed so easily?”
“I don't know what happened to them.”
Jamad said to Kangseol.
“Hmm… If they're sulfur skulls, it's no wonder they were pulverized..”
“what?”
“As a warlike tribe, the Sulfur Skull has excellent individual combat skills. In particular, we cannot underestimate the leadership’s skills..”
“They came out?”
“maybe. I'm sure they didn't all come forward, and I feel sorry for him, but the fact that he hasn't died yet means that only a small portion of his opponent's strength came forward..”
his face darkened.
“In any case, it's not good news that our allies are shrinking..”
Snowfall was lost in thought as she looked at the man's corpse..
‘20It's strong enough to slaughter a group of people... . The Sulfur Skull doesn't look like it's going to be easy..’
Everyone in Yu Mira's group could have experienced what happened to this man, who is now a corpse..
In the worst case, there could be no survivors among the pursuers..
‘Are they all dead? hmm….’
There's Mael, there's Karen, and there's Jamad..
However, the opponent was a relatively small unit..
4The situation of having to overthrow Yognathun with 1,000 men still remained the same..
Snowfall shook herself off and woke up..
“Let's go to Yognathun..”
Karen said, raising her hand..
“Okay, let’s not waste time on the street. Whatever it is, you better think about it in Yognathun.!”
“I wish it was simple.”
“It's clear, the troll must be scared of something big ahead.?”
“Hmph, the sulfur skull and all that are underneath this body. Every time this body appears at the Great Tribal Council….”
“stop! I don't want to hear my arms in the past!”
“It wasn't really nice to hear your story about Montra..”
“what? That's right. Then, let’s listen to each other in a friendly manner..”
“Can't you give up on that Montra thing??”
“huh.”
- resolute.
- I want to talk, so I will listen carefully to your story.!
- You can’t lose Montra lol.
- The summoners are all old guys.…
Snowfall and the group continued towards Yognatun while chatting about trivial things..
We have already come too far to go back. Here, Yognathun felt closer than the border..
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
[Mael uses the spell: Breeze of Support..]
[Protected from heat.]
Mael's role is probably the most important reason why I feel comfortable despite entering the sulfur zone..
“Mael, who did you learn witchcraft from??”
“My only teachers are these old books..”
“That's great. Old books all use metaphorical expressions, making it very difficult for even those who are eager to learn to achieve results.….”
“If you keep a book by your side every day, you will naturally understand its meaning. Jamad, don’t you read the magic tome??”
Jamad said, looking at Yognathun..
“There was nothing for me to seek from old books. There were no secret techniques to kill the ancestral shamans, and there were no written instructions on how to solve the tribe's food shortage..”
“The life of a ruler and the life of a shaman have different things to build. You probably gave up a lot in the process..”
“Phew… Now that I can focus solely on magic, being a shadow isn't necessarily a bad thing..”
Karen laughed..
“I agree with that too! When you're hungry, you can ask the owner and he'll give you something delicious and it's fun to watch the world go by..”
- At this point, who is the owner??
- snowman = housekeeper
- Are all high-grade summons like this??
Conversation and silence alternated between each other, and after going through all that, they finally arrived..
Volcano, Yognathun.
The whole group looked at the majestic sight in fascination..
“It's been a while, Yognathun..”
“Are we all there now? where are the trolls?”
Mael looked around and said.
“It looks like they're gathered around the crater..”
“That would be correct. In the first place, their plans were all accomplished at an altar built in a crater..”
Kang Seol nodded and said.
“Let's go up.”
* * *
Yognatun Volcano occupied a very large portion of the mountain area itself. It was very difficult to climb this mountain without any equipment..
“ha… under….”
“That's pretty high.”
“Because it's Yognathun.”
Another reason they were having a hard time was because they were climbing through an unmaintained road other than the one the trolls were climbing up and down..
‘You have to be careful from now on.’
If their traces are discovered, they could be attacked like Yu Mira and her group when they least expect it. It should never have happened that way..
‘It's up to us to take the lead.’
At the moment when they are most off guard, the deadliest blade must be plunged into the heart of the brimstone skull..
That's how we had to offset the lack of attack personnel..
“at las… all… You're here.”
A huge amount of heat flowed from the crater that could not be easily relieved by Mael's breeze spell. Everyone in the group seemed to be having a hard time except Karen..
Snowfall stood tall at the edge of the crater and looked at the panorama..
“That… It's an altar..”
“It's my first time seeing it in person, but it's huge..”
There were unusual chains hanging throughout the crater..
And they supported an altar that resembled a pyramid with a blunt top..
The altar, a huge structure, seemed to accommodate a large number of troops at first glance..
As Snowfall was looking at the sulfur skeleton guards scattered around the crater, a message came to mind..
[The Sulfur Skull Adventure is Coming.]
[This adventure is very dangerous.]
[This adventure is a chain adventure, so you cannot select the next adventure.]
[Skip the break.]
[Start your next adventure.]
[The thirteenth adventure begins.]
[Adventure 13. Sulfur Skull]
Adventure 13. 'The Sulfur Skull’
What the Sulfur Skull tribe did in Novira still leaves deep scars in the hearts of the survivors..
The home was burned down, and some of the survivors were taken away by the Brimstone Skull tribe. As soon as you found out, you chased after the group of brimstone skeletons and eventually caught up with them..
Yet, there is still hope.
We may be able to retrieve all the captured survivors now. The people who were caught in that bizarre structure are probably still wishing for it..
I hope someone saves them.
Nevenia abandoned them, but not you yet..
Objective: Stop the Sulfur Skull's ritual or rescue more than half of the survivors..
Be careful, this adventure is very dangerous.
Current remaining time 「23 : 59」
- This is a description of an adventure that will make your heart grow.…
- You haven't given up yet! right? Yeah, right?
- ??? : well… This is a bit….
- Is the scale real? It's so big;;
As soon as Kangseol and his party arrived at the crater, they started analyzing their power without even taking a moment to catch their breath..
“There are a lot of holes in the border. So she had access to this, but does she have confidence??”
“At first glance, these are just some of the sulfur skulls.”
“Yes, that's right. The Sulfur Skull boasts enormous power as one of the largest tribes in the area. The size of the altar is quite large, but it seems that only some of them are here. Otherwise, these loose boundaries don't make sense.”
“Then there will be no time to delay. Even the slightest hesitation in rescuing the hostages could mean the difference between life and death..”
Kang Seol listened closely to Mael and Jamard's stories and hosted the strategy meeting..
“They must have prepared to launch the Genshinje system.?”
“It will happen. They will have caught Purga's attention in advance, so they will choose the right time to sacrifice the humans..”
Jamard said, scratching his chin..
“This makes it difficult to be sure how much time is left. They may have spared the life of the sacrifice, but I'm not sure they wouldn't use mind magic or torture. Snowman, do you have something in mind??”
Snowfall slowly closed her eyes and quietly recited..
“There is, there is.”
“Well, how could it be... what? There is?”
Jamard looked at the snowfall with surprised eyes..
How did Snowfall come up with a method in such a short period of time after arriving in Yognathun?.
- The Sulfur Skull's intention is to take advantage of Purga by sacrificing the people he kidnapped..
In fact, Kang Seol had a certain method in mind ever since he first heard about the Genshin Emperor from Jamad..
Although he knew about the Primordial God from the beginning, he did not know the details about the Primordial God called Purga. So one verification was needed..
“Mael.”
“Tell me.”
“By being prepared in advance, does that mean how long it will take for the Genshinje to be completed??”
“The preparations for the Wonsinje are grand, but the actual ceremony does not take long. The original gods are so fickle and can't stand being boring, so it ends with them making sacrifices and asking for what they want..”
“That Genshinje thing... Can we pay too??”
“yes? what is that….”
Jamard's eyes widened at Kang Seol's words and then suddenly burst into laughter..
“Hahaha! That's an amazing idea. Yeah, I thought you were thinking that. but… It won't be easy.”
“you're right. Purga will not take issue with the subject of the sacrifice changing, but may feel insulted by the absence of the offering and burn us..”
“Offering… As far as I know, the sacrifice of the Wonshinje does not necessarily have to be life..”
“Well, it’s kind of like that. Humans who are easy to obtain are usually sacrificed, but treasures or objects that the gods may like are also sacrificed..”
“then… How about this?”
Kangseol took something out of his belongings..
Mael raised his glasses, looked at them, and said:.
“This… No matter how much Purga it is, I can't help but be tempted..”
With this, the direction of the plan was set and various conversations took place. And finally, all plans were completed.
* * *
‘It's over.’
Yumira thought so..
Did he overestimate himself and the power of the relic hunters?.
About 20 people were helpless like sheep being bitten by wolves by just two trolls sent by the Brimstone Skull..
All the people who were gathered at one point were torn apart, and it was unknown whether they were alive or dead..
‘That monster... I killed them all.’
Trolls using claw-like weapons and trolls wielding giant axes..
Both were incredibly talented..
I don't know if it was just one person, but trying to deal with two of them at the same time was a killer, and there was no way that was possible in a group where the only person with skill was Yumira..
So in the end, things have come to this point..
‘Even the troll who seemed to be their leader didn't even come forward.….’
And yet we lost.
This was hopeless..
But that didn't mean I had to give up..
As long as the one-in-a-thousand miracle exists, Yumi had to enter the altar even if her life was in danger..
Because Kibo is still alive over there..
“What should I do, Mira?.”
“Jirmo… . you go back.”
“Are you planning to die? Are you planning on going to the altar??”
“…….”
“Take me too.”
Zirmo.
Among the Kibo group, he was a man who got along well with her..
The group scattered, but fortunately Zirmo was with her..
After a long fight near the crater, the two finally decided to go to the altar together..
method? method? wisdom?
In a situation where I had nothing, I couldn't even use that..
The only thing left is a head-on breakthrough.
But as they grabbed their weapons and stood up, I felt a sign of presence..
Yumira regretted not immediately swinging the hatchet because she thought she might have lost a friend. Because there, standing there, was a group of trolls..
“Hey, these bastards!”
“It's a mummy! no!”
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!
Mira Yu charged at the trolls alone..
Her charge was reasonable in its own way..
They were just a few trolls at most, their size was unusual, but their spirit was ordinary..
Yumira expected that they would be able to deal with them quickly since they seemed to be nothing more than a simple patrol team..
Pak-!
However, expectations were spectacularly wrong..
‘…uh?’
My vision turned over and I saw the sky..
I was easily subdued without even knowing when or when it happened..
“It's Mira!”
“Shh… Do you all want to die??”
“…speaking human language?”
The trolls I had encountered so far were talking strange things that I could not understand, but the troll in front of me was clearly speaking human language..
While Yumira was wondering what was going on, one of the trolls in the group approached and said:.
“Mira Yu, it’s been a while..”
“…Who are you??”
The troll's eyes were shining golden as he acted like he knew her..
Yumi-ra had met those eyes somewhere before..
“no way… snowman?”
The troll made a clumsy expression..
Maybe he was smiling.
“See you again like this.”
A truly strange man, a truly strange encounter..
