Chapter 319
Episode 319:
Entrance to Hygeltongue in the North.
“Haaaaam-!”
“I feel sleepy after eating so much!”
“Ishii doesn’t know! “An animal that hibernates must have a lot of things in its stomach!”
“… I don’t want to know.”
“Be aware! “I hibernate!”
While Ishii and Yeba were talking, Kangseol was lost in thought.
‘It’s been 7 months… It’s wrong to go back already early.’
Even if we go back now, it would already be too late.
The war would have started again, and there was no way for Snowfall to intervene.
I can only hope that Seolhong and those who help her find strength.
‘But how did you stay asleep for over half a year?’
In fact, I was suspicious that it wasn’t that I was asleep, but that the explosion of the boundary stone had caused me to be thrown back in time half a year later.
– Oh, you’re awake.
‘Ur?’
A welcome voice.
Just when I was worried that I might have lost all my summons like when I first arrived in the East, Ur suddenly spoke up.
– You’ve been asleep on alert ever since the explosion.
‘… That’s why I didn’t freeze to death.’
– If I had fallen straight into the snowy field, I would have woken up quickly. Unfortunately, I didn’t do that.
Snowfall used her energy by clenching and opening her palms.
Sssssssssssssssssssss…
“Hmm?”
Ishii hurriedly turned his head to Kang Seol.
Kang Seol asked him in a flirtatious manner.
“why?”
“No… nothing.”
Ishii tilts his head.
Kang Seol had an unfinished conversation with Ur.
‘… What about Karen?’
When he let out his energy, there was a response from Jamard, but there was no response from Karen. As if it didn’t exist in shadow space.
– Returned to nothingness.
I knew it.
‘why?’
– It’s for growth. It is a process of conserving the energy gained by rising in rank.
When Kang Seol heard those words, he remembered what had happened before.
‘Yes, Karuna was like this once too…’
Before reaching the Yoghatun volcano, Karuna had once fallen asleep like she is now.
At that time, I could at least roughly know the remaining time, but unfortunately, not this time.
It seemed like Karen needed that much time to gain power worthy of supremacy.
‘Well, I feel safe just because I have Jamard. Rather… there’s something left to check.’
Kang Seol took a quick look around.
The items I acquired this time had an unusual energy, so there was a risk of trouble if someone was nearby.
Sigh…
“I’ll go out for a moment.”
“Eh? “You’re leaving?”
“… Are you running away? “You don’t like us?”
Ishii and Yeba were in tears.
Kang Seol waved his hand and said.
“I thought I needed some food for breakfast. “I’ll take a look around the area and come back.”
“Let’s go together then. Yeba, stand up….”
“No, I just wanted to organize my thoughts.”
“Um… do you have any cigarettes?”
“It’s okay if you don’t burn it.”
“What’s going on, Ishii? “Are you going to hand me a bloody cigarette?”
“… If you’ve been harmed, it’s right to repay something in return.”
“Ah… right.”
“I’m telling you to listen, yeba.”
“There was no such culture in Russia.”
“Are you sure?”
“… our neighborhood.”
Ishii scratched his head.
“What should I do if I get help with this again?”
“No, thanks to you, I also found a place to sleep.”
“okay. Tomorrow we will move together. “Once the supply network is reconnected, we will repay all the debt we have owed in recent years.”
Kang Seol shrugged his shoulders and went outside.
Hehehe…
Viewers laughed while watching him.
– Is this the broadcast that was restored after 7 months?
– ? Shaking off ants was amazing.
– But what are you doing now?
– I secretly go to the bathroom to eat chocolate pie by myself.
Kang Seol left the camp feeling the cold wind seeping into his lungs.
After making a marker to use as a guidepost, Snowfall moved to the middle of the snowy field.
Whiiiiing…
‘I can sense why the North is notorious. A normal person wouldn’t be able to survive even a day.’
Ishiinaeva, who is dispatched here, is probably one of the strongest transferees in her own right. So, it is possible to withstand this cold wave and survive.
Kang Seol rested his chin and was lost in thought.
‘It’s called Hygeltongue… It’s complicated.’
I had a tangle with Glacier Maw at the Mansang Library some time ago. But I thought it was over, but somehow I became close to them again.
Two options came to mind.
One is to head in a straight line to the porridge space, and the other is to stop at the elements along the way to grow.
‘It’s already late… I think it would be okay to take a little more time…’
If you take a safe route to Cannes, you can reach Seolhong a little faster, but you can’t regain the growth that was postponed.
‘What’s more, I haven’t grown for over half a year already.’
Perhaps the level of other transferees may have increased significantly in the meantime.
‘Caught up… are you going to do it?’
If that’s the case, there’s nothing we can do.
Kang Seol is quick to let go of matters he cannot solve.
If the growth has caught up with other transferees, all you have to do is think about going ahead at a faster pace.
‘First… let’s check what we got.’
Kang Seol opened the Yaksha trophy he had acquired last time from his belongings.
Naturally, the reward this time is a brilliant platinum box. It was the second time that the Platinum Box appeared, following Mansang Library.
[You are very wise.]
[High wisdom understands the principle of the lock in an instant.]
[Injecting magical power unlocks the lock.]
Kkeiik…

…
Snowfall is the first to check the yaksha emitting strange energy. did.
[Mysterious: Yasha]
Grade: Mysterious
Appropriate level: None
Attack power: Unknown Durability: Unknown
Weight
: Unknown
An ancient sword that encouraged many swordsmen to walk the path of blood. The paired mask has been destroyed and no longer causes mental contamination, but all of the sword skills that were imprinted on it have disappeared. As a reaction to destruction, the yaksha cannot remember itself.
Basic Ability: Unknown
Special Ability: Unknown
“Haa….”
– Again, Unknown!
– I don’t know why this is happening!
– Oh, it’s so funny that I’ve been posting analysis posts for half a year haha
– I don’t know why I did that nonsense!
The information was locked.
I also wondered if I had destroyed the yaksha’s mask for no reason.
‘No, I wasn’t going to use it anyway.’
No matter how strong the sword called Yasha was, I never even thought about holding it and swinging it myself. There should be no way for someone to get hold of the magic sword that pushed Yoohyeon into the abyss of despair again.
However, this does not mean that I have no intention of using it myself, and that I will keep the yaksha buried deep in my belongings.
Gulp…
Bitan swallows his saliva and looks at the yaksha.
He didn’t come out when Ishii and Yeba were there, but now he was looking down at the yaksha from Kangseol’s shoulder.
“… hungry?”
?… I feel a little sick to my stomach.?
“Suddenly?”
?It’s not because of this. Hmm… I don’t think so.?
And yet, the grief of not being able to take his eyes off the sword. It was a long time ago when the evil spirit, grief, thirsted for blood.
Perhaps all that hunger has been converted into a driving force for growth, and now he does not hide his desire when he encounters something that can help him grow.
?I think it’s because of this? “Wouldn’t it be a bit difficult to process it?” I thought.
“…Can I eat it?”
?The only things Bitan can’t eat are eggplant and lotus root? “Wouldn’t it be possible to eat a piece of metal?”
“Then do you want to try it?”
Bitan accepted the yaksha, thought for a moment, and then touched it with his tongue.
Clap….
?Oh! It has a strange taste…?
“Can’t you just chew it?”
?Then I feel like I will have an upset stomach.?
“Then eat slowly.”
?Yes!?
– Oh my… there is a strange sight here of someone licking a cutlery.
– Hang out!
– You hold it like a lollipop and eat it lol
– Yacha covered in saliva: Kill me… please…
The response came soon.
[Grief is a mystery: The digestion of Yasha begins.]
…
I waited a while, but no further changes came.
Maybe you have to eat all the yaksha for it to be effective.
‘There’s no need to rush…’
Next is another item.
[Plate Gloves with Torn Eyes]
Grade: Treasure
Appropriate level: 40 – 48
Defense: 190
Durability: 170/170
Weight: 1.0kg
Gloves that have an eerie smile somewhere on their face. Aside from that, it boasts stable defense.
Basic ability: Strength + 30 Dexterity + 24 Stamina + 33
Special ability: When heavily armed, total defense increases by 10%.
‘Oh…’
It’s a very efficient option considering it only comes with gloves. I promised myself that if Karuna or Karen came back, I would give them these gloves.
‘The knight’s defense power is overwhelming compared to other classes… so it’s a very good option.’
I feel like this armor is better than a Yacha with unknown performance.
I happily looked at the next item.
[Whetstone of Clear Swamp]
Grade: Treasure
Appropriate level: None
Weight: 3kg
Special ability: Returns a weapon blade that is ‘soaked in blood’ to its original state. The durability is unknown, but it seems like it can be used multiple times.
‘Even the whetstone… are you lucky?’
Also called clear swamp.
If you have a job that involves wielding a weapon, you are bound to kill a lot of people during your adventure. The killings could not have all been done for a clear cause by cutting down evildoers.
When accumulating ‘karma’, whether it was an object or a person, it would become ‘soaked in blood’. If this condition was maintained for a long time, not only would the blade of the weapon be damaged, but it would also deteriorate arbitrarily.
I think it’s probably a similar case to the Yasha.
‘I still have some spare time, but I don’t know what to do later.’
Adventures may be okay because the enemies and trials are clear, but there are also cases where good and evil are unclear in some situations.
For example, if you are in conflict with transferors. Since Kangseol is only an individual, there is a high probability that he will accumulate this kind of karma when he clashes with a group.
The clear swamp eased any concerns about snowfall.
Next is the Belt of Broken Conscience and the Windproof Cloak.
The cloak was an option related to agility and seemed difficult to use as it came with special abilities that an assassin would use.
‘This is on hold.’
I will either sell it or keep it later.
[Belt of Broken Conscience]
Grade: Treasure
Appropriate level: 44 – 50
Defense: 120
Durability: 130/130
Weight: 0.1kg
A belt with impressive decorations modeled after a suspicious face. The expression of the decoration changes every moment.
Basic ability: Intelligence + 25 Wisdom + 25 Stamina + 45
Special ability: Cries when health falls below 30%. When in a depressed state, a shield equal to 100% of the lost health is formed and remains for 20 seconds. If the shield is not destroyed for 20 seconds, health equal to 20% of the shield is recovered.
‘Is it a treasure?’
– Is it a treasure?
– Isn’t this a wonder?
– It’s a mystery that this is a treasure lol
– The options are limited lol But the options are crazy;;
– Is your conscience really broken?
The belt had the effect of showing great strength in a crisis situation.
Since all the basic options have been carefully taken care of, bringing in as many options as possible to create these variables will be quite important in the direction of future growth.
[Have Grand Master Jamard wear the Belt of Broken Conscience]
Of course, to Jamard.
Next, check the title.
[First title: Supreme State]
Related Achievements: A Great Step (Adventure: None)
Special Abilities: Charisma + 50 Dignity + 50 You can perfectly accumulate strength.
[First Title: Artifact Destroyer]
Related Achievements: If I can’t have it, I’ll destroy it (Adventure: None)
Special Ability: Ignores most of the difficult restrictions imprinted on the artifact.
Both were excellent options as they were first achievements. Being able to conserve power meant not revealing oneself, and being able to ignore the restrictions imprinted on artifacts meant that the range of items that could be used increased accordingly.
‘Could it be possible to wear armor?’
I tried wearing the newly acquired vambrace, but it was just a wishful thinking and did not seem to apply to the type of equipment.
‘It’s still pretty good.’
The higher the level of equipment, the more restrictions there were.
‘This isn’t a bad harvest.’
Kang Seol decided to think positively.
No matter what, I survived and got a great reward.
Although we are far away from Seolhong, we won’t be able to reach it if we walk.
“It might take another half a year, but… this guy!”
Sigh…!
Wow!
A fox sticking out its tongue while being caught by the shadow of a snowfall. Unfortunately, it was destined to be tomorrow morning.
“sorry.”
Crunch…
After breaking the neck of the fox in the snowfield, Snowfall was carrying the limp creature and returning to the garrison.
– Snowfall.
As Jamard spoke, Snowfall also stopped.
‘Can you feel it?’
– Yes, it is a trace.
Someone came to visit the garrison.
No, quite a few.
Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
…
– You left.
Snowfall quickly went to the station and checked the traces.
Ishii and Yeba disappeared.
“There is no sign of resistance. That means…”
– Either they are allies or there are so many that they can’t even dare to resist.
“I guess it’s the latter.”
The sense of snowfall was already far from human.
Through the traces left behind, I was able to get a rough idea of what happened here.
– Who do you think it is?
Kang Seol grinned at Jamard’s question.
“I have to find out now.”
It was the first adventure featuring snowfall after the Yacha War.
