The 31st Piece Turns the Tables

Chapter 386

Episode 386: Thrilling

...

Kang Seol became a shadow and became one with Yu Rim.

‘Is this what it feels like to be someone’s shadow?’

Although it was painful, the feeling of distance from the spirit was also tickling.

The initial pain gradually subsided and it was now difficult to distinguish it from pleasure.

‘It was crazy...’

Trying to become a shadow in a human body to protect someone precious.

I didn’t think I could do it again.

‘No... if you ask me to do it again, I’ll have to do it.’

It was something that had to be done.

In order to save Yurim.

The mind is unpredictable and, unlike reason, closes its ears to possibilities. Pretend not to see even if you see, pretend not to hear even if you hear.

‘What happens to me now?’

Should I leave myself to the sea of consciousness like this?

“Seol-ah! Where are you! Seol-ah!”

Someone called him.

It was Yurim’s voice.

Kang Seol was startled and stretched out her hand.

Something caught.

‘... hair?’

Slurp...

It was a huge wolf wearing a mask.

Kwajik...

“Ugh....”

The wolf bit my hand so hard that it slightly hurt.

Kang Seol quickly pulled out his hand.

Sigh...

someone grabbed his body.

“You can’t approach Seol-ah.”

“Yurim? That wolf...”

Yurim’s voice.

It was Yurim who caught him.

She said, looking at the wolf.

“Yacha....”

“... Yacha?”

“huh. If you approach it, it will bite everything. “Because it’s always been like that.”

Yurim guided Kangseol.

So as not to be captured by the yaksha.

So the two became one for a moment.

* * *

Shinyu said as he watched the changes Yurim went through.

“Is the snowfall there?”

“... Here it is.”

Shin Yu did not want to kill Kang Seol.

Even in my devastated mental world, I did not want to abandon the relationship that had been connected from reality.

– Kill her... kill her.

On the other hand, the illusion continued to mutter.

He constantly told me to kill Yurim.

Fantasy has triumphed.

Yu-rim will soon die at Shin-yu’s hands.

“Let’s come to a conclusion.”

Nod...

Yurim’s energy has changed.

It was overheated, like a volcano about to explode.

Sabak...

Sabak...

The two walked sideways with their swords and drew a circle.

The round moon will soon be complete on the snowy field.

When the lines were connected to form the moon, the two rushed across the moon.

Paaaaaaaaaa!

Paaaaang-!

The moment they closed their eyes and jumped towards each other, they both realized at the same time.

‘I’m faster!’

‘Yurim is faster!’

Yurim, who was in a raven state, continued to emit darkness from the hem of her clothes. It was as if the night had become human.

The darkness guided her.

Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

?

The swords clashed.

Even if this fight turned into a power struggle, Shinyu didn’t care.

Pajijijijijik...

Because his energy driving the thunderclouds was able to emit enormous power.

Biting, squeezing,

squeezing, squeezing...

But surprisingly, Yurim didn’t back down even an inch. For the first time, her sword did not dodge Xin Yu’s sword.

Yurim had been able to see the movements well from the beginning. Now that the forces were equal, the outcome of the fight was not easy to predict.

“Mmm!”

It’s a joke!

Shin Yu’s sword went wild as if in a fit of convulsions.

Taang-!

The sword deviated from its trajectory and the two compared their skills.

Tadaang-

Ting!

The sound of wind falling and even the sound of a sword being struck with a sword.

The two were unable to inflict even a single serious injury on each other.

Wow!

Bah!

Exchanging kicks with each other.

It was a check to measure the distance, but at the same time, the battle went into a lull for a while because it was far away.

“... It’s frustrating.”

“Same.”

“I never wanted that.”

“... what? “What did you just say...”

“Yu-rim, I don’t want to bite you. The only thing I bite is other than you. “They are the ones who put you in danger.”

Yurim became angry at Yasha’s remonstrance.

“Do not lie! You’re planning to destroy me again! Always me... you always me!”

Even though I burst into tears, no time passed. Maybe because it is a dream world, anything is possible.

“Ugh... Ugh....”

“Don’t cry, Yurim. “Are you afraid of dying?”

“... you learned what happiness is.”

“....”

“You discovered real laughter.”

Sabak...

Sabak...

The wolf came.

There was no foul odor.

“I never tried to bother you, Yurim. I’m sorry if you felt that way...”

Yurim raised her head and looked at the wolf.

The wolf laughed.

At first, I felt beyond the mask.

At that moment she became aware of the existence of the yaksha.

“You... no way...”

“I was just trying to protect you. “I...”

The wolf’s voice changed.

From a fierce and rough voice to a refreshing voice.

In a girl’s wet voice.

“Because it’s you.”

In Yurim’s own voice.

Yasha, a personality created by a girl who fell into hell to protect herself.

The Yasha did not intend to harm Yurim.

They were just trying to protect Yurim by raising thorns.

Everything went wrong and caused harm to the world.

“Ah...”

Yurim hugged the wolf.

said the wolf.

“Will you forgive me?”

“I’m sorry... I pushed you away...”

“It’s okay. I just need you to be okay.”

The Yaksha asked.

“I don’t have time. No, not for us... Yurim, you feel it too, right?”

“....”

“I already know what choice you will make. So what do you want me to do?”

Yurim said to the wolf.

“Please help me...”

The wolf stopped.

“Help me... to protect my final happiness. “Lend me your strength.”

The wolf laughed heartily.

“good! “Let’s show that guy the infinite possibilities that Yaksha has.”

The wolf turned around and looked at Shinyu.

“... This is the Yasha’s last appearance. “Hold your sword.”

Time slowly began to move.

“I’m going, Yurim. “You can follow along, right?”

When the wolf asked, Yurim held her sword straight and looked forward.

At that moment, time accelerated.

No, the sword of Divine Yu came at an incredible speed.

Hwioooooooo...

Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...

A slash from the storm sword.

How can an unfinished sword show off such perfect power?

A line containing tremendous power came down.

A power that seems like it can never be resisted.

It was truly a storm.

And two beings running towards the storm.

It was a wolf and Yurim.

A wolf happily sticks out its tongue and disappears in the wind.

– You will see Yurim! Follow the path! It’s nice weather!

Slurp...

The wolf running across the snowy field became blurred and disappeared.

Yurim moved following the footprints the wolf had left on the snowy field.

Broken...

Yurim’s mask began to break from the ends.

Her lips were revealed, her pointed nose was revealed, and her burning eyes were revealed.

Finally, the unmasked Yaksha surpassed the odds.

There was no visible movement.

I could see the flow.

The flow of power.

The flow was so beautiful that it looked like a tangled thread. That’s why it’s an unfinished sword.

The sword was inserted into the gap created by the disharmony.

Touuuuung-!

her teacher. The clear sound that comes when sword master Yuhyeon succeeds in a perfect defense.

At the same time as that clear sound, Yurim’s sword was pulled back and shot forward like a hummingbird.

“Aaaah!”

Fuuuuuuck...

Steel digging into flesh.

The feel of this was clear.

...

Time didn’t stop.

The two stopped quietly in place.

“... Did you even read this, Yurim?”

“... huh.”

“Amazing... Amazing... I lost...”

Fuhuaaaak...

Slurp...

Xinyu pulled out his sword and fell backwards.
