The 31st Piece Turns the Tables

Episode 514:

Snowfall caught sight of the fallen Kaira.

A demon who could not escape from his lies until the moment of his death.

If Snowfall is really the father of the horses, it was Kyra who made him realize that farming for children does not always work out well.

Slurp…

The snowfall touched the rays of light that stayed by Kyra’s side.

[The story of ‘Kaira’ begins.]

…

In an instant, Snowfall returned to Kaira’s point of view before she died.

Even his breath, his heartbeat, and his thoughts belonged to Snow Seol at this moment.

A turbid and painful flow.

‘Dangerous.’

Dangerous.

‘It’s dangerous…’

This guy is dangerous!

Kyra’s senses were heightened.

The man in black did not lose his composure. Kyra has always had the advantage in the fights she has been through so far.

Because he avoided fighting with those stronger than him and only fought battles where he was sure of victory.

It’s not cowardice.

That’s clever.

Fit!

‘I got caught!’

The straight sword, slightly longer than a dagger, was imbued with Charlie’s deadly venom. In just a few seconds, if it penetrates the heart, the opponent will collapse.

Suddenly…

‘… cut off your arm?’

There were often warriors who cut off the extremities of their bodies in fights against those who wielded poison.

However, I have never experienced a case where it was cut so indifferently and without any concern or distortion.

Are you happy that your opponent is a strong enemy?

Is it fortunate that the opponent is a strong enemy?

no.

Kyra was afraid.

Because I have never faced someone stronger than myself before.

‘Why isn’t it there?’

There was obviously.

So… I guess that’s why he became so strong.

‘… When was it?’

It’s quite old.

Perhaps it was a time in the past when I enjoyed adventure.

I haven’t fought like that since I got blood on my hands.

Baaaaagh-!

“Kehehe….”

Baaaaaaaaaaa!

Kang Seol could feel how Kyra fought with him. Although I seemed confident, I was intimidated and had some regrets.

However, that did not mean that he was reflecting on his past evil deeds. I just regret not being stronger.

Fear begins to grow in Kyra’s heart.

To reject physical pain that is encroached upon by violence. It made Snowfall feel like a merciless monster.

Tsuzuzutsu…

The snowy eyes that Kaira is looking at transform into dragon blood eyes.

Dragon Blood Eye can steal the opponent’s memories when the opponent feels fear. It was fortunate that he didn’t forget and caught a glimpse of Kyra’s memories along the way. If he had been emotional, he would have killed Kyra without getting anything from her.

“I did it wrong… yo…”

My vision goes dark.

A terribly lonely and cold death approaches.

[You have inherited the legacy of ‘Kaira’.]

[You are inheriting the abilities of the deceased.]

[You will inherit Continuity: Massacre.]

[You will inherit Continuity: Massacre.]

[Due to the Crow’s job effect. The effect of the ability increases.]

[The effect of the ability increases due to the constitution effect of the ghost’s hand.] …

[

Continuation: Massacre]

– The amount of damage suffered by the opponent when the opponent’s total ability value is lower than your total ability value. This increases by 20%.

“… like.”

– In fact, it’s a 20% increase in damage lol

– Comparing based on total ability? Haha –

Kyra showed off a very useful ability, as if not being able to activate it was scary in itself .

Sustained ability is more beneficial than more beneficial.

In particular, when it reached the level of snowfall, it was normal for the number of times normal abilities were used to decrease noticeably.

Click…

Snowfall carrying the main dog on Kyra’s waist.

For a moment he thought about using it himself, but then shook his head.

This is what Charlie left to Sally. It is a means of becoming stronger that the older brother left behind in consideration of the younger’s future.

‘It’s something I don’t really need right now.’

Now he was not weak enough to have to rely on things Charlie had created.

The fact that Charlie himself is using the items that even Snow Seol is interested in also plays a role.

Two pieces of information found in Kyra’s memories. One is where are Charlie’s items that Kyra stole, and the other is who gave him the job.

‘I guess I can tell Sally. The latter… was as expected.’

The rotten raccoons of Seongguk, the culprits of the incident, were still alive and well. I’ll have to see them soon.

‘What should I do from now on…’

The other party also realized that there was someone behind Shin Min’s movements.

“Is it a head-on collision after all?…”

Drumming…

Drumming…

Snowfall looked up at the sky.

A hawk and a dove were flying in the sky from opposite directions at the same time.

They both had notes tied to their ankles, which made Kang Seol uneasy.

Pudduk…

The hawk landed on the dead Kyra’s shoulder, and the dove landed on Kangseol’s shoulder.

Pot-!

beep-!

Snow Seol even steals the note from the hawk and confirms it with the news brought by the pigeon.

Some of the contents of the two messages were the same.

The words emergency and intelligence were mixed together.

Crisp…

Kang Seol crumpled the note and muttered.

“I guess I should go straight to Baranoa.”

* * *

Two days after the message was delivered to Kang Seol, the number of citizens protesting in the square actually increased.

“Come out!”

“Don’t hide! “We have to reveal everything!”

“I’m just going to hide like this until things calm down!”

The disappearance of citizens continued even during protests. It would not be surprising if the protest turned into a riot, but the cathedral made a promise.

Today, Pope Daemon of Baranoa will appear in person to quell the anger of his subjects.

Since it is a sacred nation, Pope Daemon has the most authority other than God, the master of faith.

Everyone was eagerly awaiting his appearance. What explanation will you give? Are all the rumors surrounding Baranoa true?

Puuuuuuuu-!

The sound of wind instruments creating a sacred atmosphere rang out, and an old man wearing a vest appeared on the second floor of the cathedral.

“Holy Pope! Praise!”

“….”

“….”

The square becomes quiet.

“Cha Chan….”

“Stop.”

At Daemon’s words, the archbishop hurriedly retreated and bowed his head.

No one praised the Pope’s power. The dissatisfaction of the subjects reached a critical point.

Just before it explodes.

Now is the moment.

Daemon began his speech in a calm voice, as if he wasn’t afraid at all.

“Subjects of the Holy Kingdom, we seem to be going through great confusion right now.”

“….”

“Those possessed by the devil are trying to destroy Baranoa by shaking the hearts of the foolish.”

Old, droopy eyelids stare at the subjects.

“What is the problem? What on earth… The Holy Kingdom has become more vibrant than ever, and the restoration of its divinity is on track.”

The Pope said as if he really didn’t understand.

“We will prosper. But for some reason, everyone looks angry.”

At that time, a woman from the slums who lost her child in a disappearance incident spoke in tears.

“Oh… what happened to my child!”

“… kid?”

“You guys hid it!”

“Pray. If you do that…”

“Shut up!”

“….”

Daemon looked at the woman with surprised eyes. The woman lost her reason.

“Does prayer feed you? If you look down from there and say something proudly, do you think I will bow my head? “My child… my child…”

“Hmm…”

The Holy Knights flinched.

As he seemed to be about to act out of concern for the Pope’s authority, Daemon raised one hand to stop him.

“Let them say what they want to say.”

“… yes.”

As if that was the catalyst, the topic of Baranoa’s darkness is raised.

“Sophia! “I heard you hid a girl named Sophia?”

“Bring Sophia!”

Daemon listened quietly and gestured.

“I really…”

“Okay, bring it.”

After a while, Sophia appeared on the podium.

Clang…

an iron ring around the neck.

And the chain connected to it.

As I pulled the chain, Sophia moved her head closer and frowned.

“This is the Sophia you love so much.”

“….”

“Yes, some people will be shocked. The term “artificial god” sounds grand, but in the end, it is nothing more than a piece of cold metal. Do you understand now?”

“Well… isn’t it still wrong? “They said it would cause pain!”

“you’re right.”

Daemon spoke only the truth.

“Free me! “That’s it!”

“How can you be so cruel when you feel pain…”

The Pope grins.

“You have two options.”

“… select?”

“If there are 100 subjects who will endure suffering on Sophia’s behalf, Sophia will be free from suffering.”

“So… what do you mean!”

“No one has to suffer! no one!”

“… Then I’ll give you another option.”

Another option.

“We will have to give up the divinity that Sophia creates. All god-powered infrastructure will come to a halt, and Baranoa’s abundance will never return. Of course, taxes should also be raised.”

“….”

“Now what would you choose? At this level, wouldn’t it be enough to throw a girl and a machine that isn’t even human into suffering?”

Be silent.

Everyone is silent.

At that moment, the artificial god Sophia speaks.

“… I am okay.”

“….”

“As long as you guys are happy, that’s fine.”

Silence continues.

The subjects begin to rationalize.

“If it’s okay with Bo…”

“It can’t be helped… I guess.”

“Because I chose it myself…”

Daemon laughs.

“Are you… good people?”

“….”

“You guys are just not particularly bad. Moderately selfish and moderately hypocritical…such beings.”

He laughs so hard his mouth breaks.

“Hehehehe… I’m really feeling nauseous. Repent… repent….”

“Shut your mouth! The most important issue right now is…”

Slurp…

Daemon’s eyes and Sophia’s eyes begin to turn red.

“It is a day of repentance. Insects covered in human skin. Repent for the evil within you… awaken God.”

“Who’s eyes ….”

“Kyaah!”

Whioooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much…

red energy is scattered in all directions so much that I can see it with my eyes. That creates the wind.

“Welcome the new god who brought you to this land… the true god!”

“The ground is shaking!”

“Damageeee! “It’s falling apart!”

Daemon did not stop talking.

“The First One is coming….”

“Huh-uh-uh…”

“Kuh…” “A million…”

The subjects grabbed their necks.

A red thread started from Sophia and connected all the subjects of the capital city of Tetra.

Yiiiiing –

something is happening.

Kugugugugugugugugugu…

The floor of the square where the subjects were away cracked.

Clap…

Clap…

Something rose from below.

[A strong deterrent occurs in the surrounding area.]

[Rest ends temporarily.]

[The adventures of all adventurers in Tetra are changed to ‘Repentance Day’.]

…

* * *

Kugugugugugung…

“ Has it started?…”

“Tsk… I wanted to see it for myself.”

“It’s a historic moment.”

People surrounding a man are talking.

The cardinal said to the man.

“Chief Interrogator Midar, decide.”

“….”

“Will I follow or die?”

Interrogator Batung sneered.

“You can refuse. “No, I want you to refuse.”

“….”

“I want to change that arrogant face right now.”

Midar finally learned everything. There is someone who is far away and scary behind them. That everyone was caught up in them.

If you serve those you fear, your life will be preserved. You will gain more strength.

“I have served Baranoa all along.”

“okay. “You were a very obedient sword.”

“I was obsessed. To the people who smile in this land of light.”

“….”

Midar declares.

“I now realize that I was neither a soldier loyal to the country nor an apostle loyal to God.”

He gets down on one knee.

“My life belonged to my subjects. Their sword and spear of light. “Let me resign from my position as chief interrogator now.”

“… The conclusion is disappointing.”

Midar finally makes a decision.

“Baranoa! “That’s it.”

“Are you going to die?”

“… I will fight!”

Giiiiiiing –

His sword was imbued with a brilliant light.

[Midar uses Season: Holy Rift.]

[Forms a crack that deals holy damage in a certain range and causes an explosion.]

…

“Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

…?

A large hole is drilled.

Midar was not there.

“Chase! “The guy ran away.”

“Kick… I’m going to kill you today…”

Papapat-!

The three interrogators hurried after Midar.

Paaaa-!

Paaaaat-!

Midar flew from roof to roof. A red hemisphere surrounded the tetra.

Subjects were lying down, connected to an unidentifiable red line.

Midar bit his lip and sprinted away.

Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

The interrogator who caught Midar rolled around on the floor with him.

“Gotcha….”

Pushuuuuk-!

The rapier created a hole in the interrogator’s neck.

“Ugh….”

Paaaaaaaa!

Midar takes advantage of the gap and quickly escapes.

Whirling…

The hole created in the interrogator’s neck was filled in an instant.

“Hehehe… You won’t die with such a skewer.”

There is no hope.

Even if you defeat those three here, the situation won’t change much.

But Midar remembered his promise.

‘Soon… here…’

He runs up to the meeting place.

But…

‘… isn’t there?’

There were no pilgrims, no witches, no grizz, no snowfall.

‘Why… Ah!’

The red hemisphere covering the tetra.

That was the problem.

Midar stopped, standing close to the outer wall of the hemisphere.

“Have you given up? Kihi….”

“Your beliefs are useless. Midar.”

“It’s not something that can be solved by going on a rampage alone. Look around and see if there is at least one person on your side. “You stubborn person.”

“In the end, that stubbornness is what gets you killed.”

“….”

Midar turned around with his mouth tightly shut and placed his hand on the scabbard.

Clap….

“If you plan on fighting….”

At that time.

Thump…

Thump…

A vibration was felt from behind Midar.

and.

Kwahiah ah ah ahhhhhhhhhhh!

The corner of the red exterior wall collapsed with a loud noise, revealing the entire view.

Midar had an expression on his face.

A bright smile that is close to joy.

“… It will never be a lonely fight.”

Tuktuk…

Kang Seol dusted himself off and came in and said.

“Things rarely go as expected.”

“Midar!”

“Interrogator!”

Sally and Chameli have been kind to Midar. After that, the choir and witches, who were the only ones supporting the pilgrims, were seen.

Disappointing power difference.

But strangely enough, I didn’t feel anxious.

Midar did not know what it was for.

“Griz, it looks like something is wrong with Sofia.”

“It’s okay, at least the mistake my daughter made. “As a father, I can solve this problem.”

“… Are you my father?”

As I pondered over those strangely haunting words, I looked at the road leading to the snowfall cathedral.

Honest feelings.

“That’s bullshit.”

“Kahaha! I know!”

“It looks like things have already gotten serious.”

Karen and Karuna also agreed with Kang Seol’s opinion. Tetra faced an unprecedented crisis.

“So, even if I add at least one person, no one will say anything. Midar.”

“….”

“Are you going to fight?”

Nod…

Midar nodded firmly.

Upon hearing that answer, a tremendous amount of energy began to radiate from Kang Seol’s body.

Whioooooooo…

[Snowman uses the power: King of Shadows.]

[Snowman’s shadow is alive.]

[His shadow acts with will like a living creature.]

[His shadow is endless. It evolves with inspiration.]

[The moment the living shadow begins to act, all of the Snowman’s abilities are strengthened.] [

No one can approach the King of Shadows.]

[The living shadow guards the Snowman.]

[Shadow The intensity of is proportional to the level of the snowman.]

…

“What…”

Everyone around was startled and retreated around the snowfall.

Kang Seol put his hands together.

Twaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Food deuk…

[Season: Use the Crow Army.]

[Season: The power contained in the Dark Life is divided by the number of creatures.]

[The greater the divided power, the more abilities the crow soldiers can use. ]

…

Whirling…

Dozens of crows stood up.

Karen and Karuna also stood on either side of the snowfall and placed their swords on the ground.

[Karen uses Discipline: The King’s Knight.]

[Karun’s Discipline: Uses the King’s Knight.]

…

Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

of the power soaring in an instant.

Midar finally saw with his own eyes the reality of the strange sense of stability he had been feeling.

“…you.”

Kang Seol glanced sideways at him and then grinned.

“Push it all away.”
