The 31st Piece Turns the Tables

Chapter 372

Episode 372:

Lucia suddenly appears and catches Kang Seol by surprise.

“…killed him?”

“Oh yes! “It was annoying.”

Kang Seol glared at her.

It would be more accurate to say that they are wary rather than hostile.

‘Killed him?’

I wasn’t really interested in latecomers, but I just wanted to find out information because they could be a variable in breaking through the gateway.

But I never thought I would hear that he personally killed him.

“Don’t get me wrong, they were eaten.”

“…It was something like that.”

With Lucia’s explanation, I quickly understood the situation.

‘In other words, it would be better to say that the federal forces were destroyed as soon as they arrived.’

I didn’t know that the level of personnel composed was poor compared to the conquerors. Or maybe I was not prepared enough because I thought the labyrinth was funny.

This was a pitch-black labyrinth that was dangerous even for those who had passed through it once.

‘But how do you see ahead?’

Snowfall caught her eye.

A ring that combines the Seal of Blood and the Seal of Plague. It was shining.

‘Well, it looks like the seal has some good effects.’

Assuming that, it was completely understandable that she adapted smoothly to the labyrinth.

“Take me to this place too.”

“The next hurdle is…”

“I know, so I’m asking the doctor. “I really won’t get in your way!”

Kang Seol looked at Shin Lip.

Because I wanted to hear what his judgment was.

The original plan was to enter the Snowfall Hall at the gateway.

“The more souls that enter the gate, the better or worse it can be.”

It was an obvious statement, but I was still curious about the reason.

“Why is that so?”

“Because dreams can be mixed up.”

“…mixed up?”

“Yes. Because the soul’s dreams are mixed up, if someone brings out the nightmare, you may face greater danger than you would otherwise face. However, as soon as even one person realizes that they are in a dream and leaves, the entire dream world collapses.”

“….”

“In other words, you can experience more risks, but you are also given more opportunities in return. It is natural that the power you gain will also increase accordingly. And… this is a guess through insight, but it seems that achievement at the next gateway depends on the quantity and quality of souls that entered the gateway.”

Kang Seol was deeply worried.

For a moment, I thought that if the achievements depend on the number of souls, it might be a good idea for Shin Rip and Shin Hyeon to join in as well.

“Don’t be overconfident. There are no people who can show their full strength in their dreams. You have to crawl up from the floor with nothing in your body. If you do it well, you can achieve great things, but do you think you will get that kind of achievement for nothing?”

It’s not wrong.

“And there are still plenty of guys who will follow you when you get in. Look over there.”

I flinch…

The masked sisters were leaning against a stone pillar and watching.

They were Belian and Veldre, who had been dispatched by the Holy Relics Society.

“Ooh, we’re going in too.”

“….”

“It’s a temporary truce… I have to get out of the labyrinth anyway…”

Now, even if I tried to explain that it was dangerous, it would only hurt my mouth, so I just resigned myself.

To be honest, at their level, even if their souls increased, I wouldn’t worry too much.

Shinhyeon asked.

“Hehehe… Are you going to take them all? “The dream world is so huge that you may not encounter them even once… but they may bring you dreams even more terrible than yours.”

Kang Seol laughed.

“There is nothing more terrible than my dreams.”

“…Are you sure?”

“yes.”

If a dream related to the gods pops up, it will increase the difficulty of the gateway to an inestimable level.

‘But that one… has overcome it, so it won’t show up in a while.’

The probability of having a dream where one was swayed by the gods was extremely low. This is because, in the process of obtaining the night raven, he overcame his sima.

‘I’d rather have someone else’s dream… hmm?’

Wow…

someone pulled the cloak.

This feeling.

It’s him.

“…Shinyu.”

Sasak…

– Don’t go. It’s dangerous.

Shin Rip and Shin Hyeon laughed as they saw their hands scribbling something on the floor.

“Hehe… I guess I don’t want you to go.”

“This can be happen.”

Kang Seol said to Shin Yu.

“I’m going.”

– I can’t protect you.

“are you okay. “That’s how we got here.”

Shin Lip said quietly.

“Shinyu, would you like to go with me?”

Shinyu responded by bending his index finger in the direction of his hand and asking if he was referring to himself.

It seemed as if it meant ‘Me?’

“We stay here. “Once you pass the next gateway, it will be open for a while anyway, so we can see you again then.”

“If the ordeal gets longer, we need someone to stay at the gate and come up with something to do.”

Shin Rip nodded and then spoke to Shin Yu.

“So, Shinyu, you go.”

After thinking for a moment, Xin Yu quickly waved his palm up and down.

I meant to understand.

Shin Lip placed his hand on Kang Seol’s shoulder and said.

“Kang Seol, it doesn’t matter what kind of person you are or how you’ve lived. The dream demon will make you live in a completely different world. You could be a vagabond there or a war slave. “It could be a herbalist or a gunner who makes a living from hunting.”

Infinite possibilities.

“A new life will open. Find yourself in it. No, find your scattered pieces.”

Kang Seol nodded and turned back.

Belian Veldre’s sisters Lucia and Shinyu.

Kang Seol looked at the group of people he might meet in his dream for a moment and then walked away.

Kugugu Palace…

The second gate has been opened.

[Unprecedented achievements have been achieved at the Gate of Darkness.]

[Additional rewards are obtained.]

[The mid-settlement of the campaign is made.]

[The deposits of erroneous nature are obtained.]

[Blood Grace is granted.]

[ The grace of darkness falls.]

[The grace of light falls.]

[The grace of the storm falls.]

[The grace applies to the next gateway.]

…

Sigh…

Kang Seol and the party stepped into the gateway. .

Coogung-!

At that moment, it felt like the world was evaporating and the ground beneath my feet disappeared.

[An unexpected adventure, ‘Someone’s Dream’ occurs.]

[This adventure is very dangerous.]

…

Dreams may be created by human preferences.

Throw away the things you don’t like and keep the things you like close by….

The dull and boring daily life has already passed, like the scenery outside the train.

Time in the dream was that fast.

Tap tap…

“Ah!”

“It’s a surprise! “What are you thinking, Seol?”

“Oh, it’s nothing. “I was blank for a moment.”

“…What is it.”

“Yurim, what about you? sit down?”

Yurim.

This is the child who helped me adapt to this place.

Even though his baby teeth haven’t even fallen out yet, he was sold here and has been through many hardships together.

“Let’s go to sleep quickly, we will be mobilized for unloading tomorrow, and if you get sleepy, you will really die.”

“…If it was unloading, I would die even if I wasn’t particularly sleepy.”

“That’s true, but…”

Bang bang bang!

Someone knocked hard on the door.

“You bastards, won’t you shut up!?”

“….”

“….”

Surveillance was tight here.

Perhaps even more so than prisons that imprison criminals.

This is the port of Melton, a place where the whip is closer than the law.

Yurim and I were both abandoned by our parents, captured by a slave trader, and sold as slaves at a port.

The use of children for labor was taboo in Melton.

Even if slaves were mobilized, they could only be made to work after they were older.

‘We don’t take all that into account and protect it here, but…’

First of all, legally, it was protected. At least if I can get out of here.

The smiling face of Melton, who rules everything from the loading dock to the gambling house and brothel.

Surprisingly, a smiling face is what calls to him.

‘If it weren’t for that guy….’

Would Yurim and I’s lives have been a little different if that guy wasn’t there?

I wonder if I would have been a slave with better treatment.

No one knew the identity of the smiling face that owned this place. Even the excavation of the impression was not properly known.

Taaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahchchchlightlight mark!

The sound of a whip was heard.

Someone made a mistake at the loading dock.

‘Who… Ah!’

Usually in these cases, Yurim was the target.

“Who told you to fool around!”

“I didn’t fool around. “It’s just too heavy…”

“Don’t shut up!”

Taaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahchchchlightlight mark!

“Aaaah-!”

A whip passes through Yurim’s body.

Whoa…

Yurim was about to be whipped once again, unable to resist.

“Yurim!”

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

“

Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu …

“What are you doing!”

“Stop that… Yurim….”

“Do you dare protect me in front of me?”

The supervisor rolled up his sleeves and brandished his whip.

Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

…

“Aaaah-!”

Something terrible running across the backboard.

“Ah…”

Another scar appears on top of the scar that already appeared. “

A lowly bastard

like you…” Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

)

“…uh?”

“…don’t hit Seol.”

Today, a series of amazing things happened.

Yurim held the whip with her bare hands.

The grip was torn, but thanks to the exquisite distribution of force, no fingers were cut off.

‘How can they do that?’

Someone came next to the supervisor who was glaring with an absurd expression.

‘Ah… that guy…’

The guy standing next to the supervisor seems like a good person to others.

But to myself…

“What’s going on?”

“Karuna-sama, these guys are playing around…”

A glance swept over me.

I know that gaze.
