31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 93)
The stabilization of the central axis of the altar of Jando was successfully achieved..
However, not all problems were resolved..
“Damn it, it makes sense we still haven't found a rat?”
“Sorry! We will report to you as soon as the news comes.!”
Even though High Priest Zando complained, he did the first thing he had to do..
Whirling-!
Gooooooooo!
The flame tattoo on his face shone like a fire..
Grumbling-!
The magic power he possessed showed its power by emitting smoke..
“Hmm… Hmm….”
Dedddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd…
patter.
If he returns to his central axis, he will personally search the entire altar to find the rat..
“Magra! I'm sorry to disappoint you. Looks like the minions haven't found the rat yet..”
“It has been done. It's because the commanders of the Sulfur Skull aren't here..”
“Thank you for your understanding.”
“Now that it's like this, I guess I'll have to go see it myself. There's no way there's still no news from the guys I sent down... . I guess it's strange.”
At those words, Zando shook his head..
“Haven't you noticed, Magra? It's obvious what the enemies are aiming for. Isn't it me??”
“Are you saying that they will take advantage of the confusion to target you??”
“It's a given. Those who knew of the existence of the central axis and touched it would have expected that I would use my power to prevent the temple from falling. And the enemies are planning to target me as I am defenseless.!”
“…It's definitely not something that doesn't make sense. But what about the armory, military depot, and liquor depot? Those places will also be exposed to their threats.?”
Zando nodded at Magra’s words..
“It is an unavoidable sacrifice. If enemies target that place, I will be safer. Now that things are like this, the dispatch of troops will be delayed a bit..”
“…Right.”
“And this I am ashamed to say as Warchief Zando, I hope that Magra will protect me from threats, at least while I am correcting the central axis of the temple..”
“It's not difficult. Who will come after you when I am there?.”
“thank you! It won't be long before the pivot returns to its original position..”
postponement of military deployment.
make reasonable sacrifices.
Once this code of conduct was established, things became much simpler. All I had to do was sit here quietly, strengthen my shield, and protect my sword..
There was no need to dispatch troops right away, and the Wonsinje ceremony had not yet taken place..
‘for a moment… original?’
Magra's keen senses pointed out a loophole in this plan..
“Who is at the torch??”
“We sent some troops there. Other priests are also coming here before it gets dangerous..”
“If the enemies are targeting Genshin….”
“How would those who don't even know how to call Genshin know of its existence? I think Magra’s reaction is excessive..”
What Zando said was not wrong..
In Pandea, the only people who worshiped the original god were trolls and other primitive races..
‘Wait, something's strange.?’
Magra continued to think, unable to shake off the uneasy feeling..
Once the enemy broke inside, touching anywhere was fatal to the Sulfur Skull..
While they were worried, a messenger came to them..
“Jando! Additional troops are said to have almost arrived..”
“Oh my, it feels awkward to bring it to the altar in such a chaotic time..”
But then, another news came that would greatly increase their anxiety..
“Come on, Jando! It's a big deal!”
“What's going on again??”
“The sacrifices... The sacrifices are released and are attacking the armory, taking the weapons and climbing upwards.!”
“Damn it! As expected, they were targeting me.!”
“no… no. Not you, Jando. It's not you they're after.”
“yes?”
Magra's momentum rose as if to explode..
“It's a torch! I have to stop it!”
* * *
Magra's sense was accurate..
As he feared, Seonghwa's security forces were now facing a great crisis..
“I am the enemy!”
“coming here!”
“I have to let Jando know... damn! That guy is blocking the door.!”
Snowfall blocked the passage leading to the torch accompanied by Karen..
Puhwaaaak!
[Defeat the Brimstone Skull Torch Guardian.]
[Experience points are accumulated.]
Squeak-
[Defeat the Brimstone Skull Torch Guardian.]
[Experience points are accumulated.]
The trolls near the torch were elite monsters that required at least two players to stick around..
Every time those monsters approached Karen, her head fell off in an instant, like being cut by a blender blade..
- Is it true that he goes around cutting down elite mobs all by himself??
- I'm not alone - there's a summoner next to me
- Summoner (Cheering type))
- Karen: My own lawn doll is cheering me on.!
As I was clearing out the trolls around Seonghwa, a message occurred to Kangseol..
[Successfully completed rescuing survivors.]
[Compensation is set.]
[A linked adventure continues.]
[This adventure is very dangerous.]
[All adventures must be completed to obtain rewards.]
‘Looks like Jamard was successful..’
So far, things were going according to plan..
[Start your next adventure.]
[The fourteenth adventure begins.]
[Adventure 14. Breaking through the flames]
Adventure 14. ‘Breaking through the flames’’
Survivors of a strange fate were captured from the ruined city of Novira to Yognatun Volcano. They gave up on escaping early on, but with your help, they were all released from bondage..
However, this is still Yognathun Volcano. There is still a long way to go before we can talk about survival. There is only one option left for you and the survivors. Escape from Yognathun at any cost..
Objective: Eliminate the leader of the Brimstone Skeletons or have at least 70% of the group reach Gulia..
Be careful, this adventure is very dangerous.
Current remaining time 「167 : 59」
The new adventure goal was exactly what I expected from the beginning..
After understanding the main content, Kang Seol focused on the present..
The icon was on the top level of the fire altar. It was a dangerous place where every space except the floor was open..
‘If I fall from here, I won't be able to survive..’
Falling into boiling sulfur, your bones will probably melt..
Since it is located on the roof of a building, it seemed difficult to pass through the trolls blocking the way, but in reality, it was not..
‘Did Jando take the soldiers to protect himself? This Chieftain of the Sulfur Skull is disheveled..’
In other words, the road to the torch was no different from a quiet country road where cars were occasionally encountered..
10minute.
It took no more than 10 minutes for the snowfall to slaughter the trolls and reach the top of the temple where the sacred fire was located..
There is still quite a bit of time left until the central axis is restored..
“protect the torch!”
“joy! How dare you set foot in a sacred place?!”
The talking and walking experience points tried to stop Karen, but they were all cut down like corn and the top and bottom were separated..
[Defeat the Brimstone Skull Torch Guardian.]
[Experience points are accumulated.]
The dead trolls all died with their eyes wide open, as if they couldn't believe they had never faced a worthy opponent..
“hmm… I have to arrive soon now..”
“Are you looking for me??”
“…Mael.”
“You're not surprised..”
Before I knew it, Mael had come up behind the snowfall..
“Kahaha! I saw it, I flinched..”
“How did you get up so quickly??”
“With a little magic and a little use of the terrain, it's easy to outrun the stampeding soldiers. However, I am worried. The soldiers who went down to capture me would be targeting the hostages.….”
“With Jamard here, you won't be defeated easily..”
Mael nodded..
“Then, let's proceed with the ceremony right away..”
“great.”
As they approached the torch, a choice occurred to Kang Seol..
[This is the sacred site of the Sulfur Skull. what would you like to do?]
1. Destroy a brazier containing a flame..
2. [Required: Avenger] Covered in flames.
3. [Required: Fire Bag] Move the flame into the bag.
4. [Required: Shaman] This is a place to offer sacrifices to the primordial god, Purga, the sulfur monkey. We follow magical procedures and offer offerings to Purga..
5. [Required: Troll language] Read the writing on the altar.
……
Mael put his hands together and started muttering..
After muttering for a while, he handed the dagger that was lying near Seonghwa to Kang Seol..
“Spill your blood to the flame.”
Sigh-
A brief tingling sensation passes.
Snowfall's blood fell into the brazier.
Chii Iik…
- The world's first adventure carried by a helper.
- Really, Mael's cost-effectiveness is crazy haha. The fact that he rescued the mushrooms made a snowball roll like this.?
- Because he's a snowman, the snowball rolls, humor, humor! Cluck cluck!
- Suddenly a taxi is coming; I'm taking a taxi to your house.?
Grumbling-!
The torch that evaporated the blood shook once..
Snowfall shouted as Mael instructed..
“Almighty fire! Burning sulfur! Wild Purga sleeping in the volcano, please reveal yourself to the weak beings.!”
Bubble… Bubbly.
Suddenly, sulfur bubbles rose from the crater of the volcano where the temple is floating..
And then, before I knew it, it became a whirlpool and arose with a momentary tremor..
Wow!-!
‘Ugh… hot.’
Sulfur became a huge fire monkey and came to the front of the furnace..
[Witness a wondrous being.]
[Wisdom is permanently increased by 5..]
Crying-!
Cheeeeee…
“Ugh….”
The heat was indescribable, and it felt like my whole body was being weighed down by Purga's intimidation..
Snowfall would have screamed if Mael hadn't cast a protection spell in advance..
A playful-looking Purga approached Kang Seol..
“This is my first time seeing this child. Why did he wake me up from my sweet sleep without any fear??”
If lightning could talk, wouldn't it be like this?.
“Purga! Please accept the offering.!”
“Offering? Hahaha! Are you a sacrifice? No, all of you?”
The sound was like a hammer hitting my head and making it buzz..
Now everyone in Zando and the temple must have realized that there was a problem with the sacred painting..
Grumbling!
“This is the offering.”
Kang Seol took something out of her arms..
[Heart of Atarak]
Grade: Treasure
Appropriate level: None
Weight: 0.1kg
The heart of Atarak, the last descendant of Anakindria, an ancient spider species. Although it has already stopped beating, it still retains the faded ancient blood within it..
However, the use of this treasure is very limited..
Special Abilities: Unknown.
A treasure obtained from a previous adventure, but hoarded because there was no suitable way to use it yet..
It was the heart of Atarak, flowing with the blood of an ancient race..
And Purga, who was observing it while scratching her chin, leaned back and laughed like crazy..
“Hahahaha! That's pretty good, that's pretty good! Something like this would be enough to wake me up. Well then, I won't decline..”
Hwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
A huge fire took away the heart that Snowfall was holding..
And then, a choice came to mind..
[The wild god Purga has appeared. what would you do?]
1. provoke.
2. attack.
3. Ask questions about ancient knowledge.
4. [Required: Summoning skill] Ask about ways to improve the level of summoning skill.
5. [Required: Spiritual Art] Request news from the Spirit Throne.
……
Kangseol shouted after confirming the option of receiving compensation..
“There is something I want in return for the sacrifice.!”
“hmm… This blood… Excellent. Okay, what do you want??”
[Purga asks if you want anything. I think you need to choose your answer carefully..]
1. enormous wealth.
2. Purga's Sulfur Soldier
3. destructive force.
4. movement of fire.
……
This choice was very unique..
There were so many different types, there were over 30 to choose from. While skimming down through the snow, Snowfall found what she was looking for..
Kang Seol said with a toothy smile..
“shadow! It's an ugly shadow!”
“Your desires will be engraved in flames.”
As Purga pointed his finger at the snowfall, tattoos began to appear on his face..
“Wow!”
It felt like my face was melting..
However, Kang Seol held on to not lose his mind and realized that the pain was only temporary..
Soon, the pain subsided to the point where I felt refreshed..
[Receive the grace of an ugly shadow.]
[Maximum shadow space increases by 1200.]
[Shadow space increase increases.]
[You can now summon 3 shadow minions at the same time.]
[Achieve the special achievement ‘Blessing of Fire’.]
[Obtain the special title “Burning One”.]
‘It's incredible power!’
Shadow space, shadow space increase, and the number of shadow summons that can be summoned simultaneously.
All abilities related to shadows have increased significantly..
This was an incredible increase in ability..
However, this means that Kang Seol happened to have an important treasure and that the altar was prepared in advance. It was a miracle created by perfect timing..
Even if Kang Seol was asked to do it again, he couldn't do it, and it was only possible because he was able to utilize the knowledge he had..
To that extent, this once again reminded us that each adventure is important..
Thanks to this grace, the situation where powerful summons could not be used due to lack of snowfall shadow space changed greatly. Now you can have all your summons..
Purga stretched out as if satisfied and returned to the brimstone..
“…Is it over??”
Snowfall felt like everything she had just experienced was like a dream..
To witness a primordial god and experience some of its power..
“Now….”
It was then.
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Pusss…
“That's pretty cool, my kids are probably dead.?”
10It was Magra who appeared at the top, leading more than 100 trolls..
They ignored the sacrifices being released and rushed straight here..
However, Magra, who realized that something had already happened, glared at Snow Seol's back..
Zech.
Snowfall turned back and took off the hood of her robe..
He had a tattoo of a flame monkey running from his neck to his face..
“Damn, that's unlucky. Of course….”
“Do humans know me? Why are you aiming for the sulfur flame??”
“Let's get it straight. Because you dragged my friend with me.”
“A sacrifice, I see. However, your luck ends here. Because you had to face me. Yes, this volcano will be your last..”
“luck? That's right, I'm always unlucky. but….”
A tremendous energy emanated from the shadow of the snowfall..
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
and.
Whirly lick-!
The blue knight made of shadows has awakened.
Karen screamed when she saw it..
“karuna!”
[Twin Knight Karuna's lore has been completed..]
[All twin knights have been summoned..]
[The twin knights' connected souls are activated..]
[The current stats of both summons are doubled..]
[Twin Knight's Balance is activated.]
[The abilities of the two summons are added together and divided depending on the time..]
……
A feast of tremendous messages.
Snowfall ignored the endless messages and spoke to Magra..
“So, I tend to prepare a little harder..”
“…You guy.”
Karuna said while looking at Magra, leaving behind the snowfall.
“It was such a long sleep.”
The once minute crack has now widened to the point where it cannot be blocked..
