Ex Rank Supporting Role's Replay in a Prestigious School

Chapter 652: Black snow (5)

The myths of Mesopotamia occurred in the Tigris River and Euphrates River basins in Southwest Asia.

Ishtar, the goddess of love, war, and land, proposed something to King Gilgamesh who returned to Uruk after his expedition.

Gilgamesh refused without hesitation, referring to those who were tempted by Ishtar and greeted with misery.

Ishtar, who took the rejection disgracefully, pleaded with Anu.

She wanted to borrow the power of Gugalanna, the Bull of Heaven, to kill Gilgamesh who insulted her.

Ishtar and Gulaganna came to the ground and drank all the water to dry Uruk’s vegetation and lower the water level of Euphrates, making holes in the ground only with their noses.

The power of Gulaganna in the myths who caused a drought for seven years was now embedded in Uma.

‘I can’t believe he recognized the power right away…!’

Uma was surprised by Hwangho’s words, but he hid any sign of agitation he felt.

If he appears disorganized here, it’s like confessing that he is indeed using Gulaganna’s power.

The power to dry up vegetation is rare, but Gulaganna isn’t the only one who has that power.

Some mythical beings can bring about famine or have similar powers with their light skills and skills.

Uma thought that if he didn’t leave any evidence now, he would be able to confuse the Tiger Clan at least.

But Hwangho’s attitude bothered him.

‘It’s strange that Hwangho recognized it right away with conviction. But even if he saw through this power, he can’t deal with it just like that!’

Uma poured energy waves into Gulaganna’s horn planted in his head.

Then, power flowed from the horns of blue-gold stone covered by Uma’s hair.

Woooooo!

A bull howling was heard in Uma’s head.

The sound was a cry of unbearable pain, anger, curse, and thirst for revenge.

But the scream didn’t inspire Uma.

It was a chilling sound at first, but he gradually couldn’t feel anything.

When wielding a weapon, there’s always a slight sound of the wind being torn.

That’s how Uma viewed Gulaganna’s power — a simple weapon that he could wield.

He got drunk on the strength of that weapon.

Uma soon lost strength under his feet, but he thought he won just by looking at the barren land.

“I see you’re not stupid enough to admit that you’re using Gulaganna’s power.”

However, Hwangho’s response was different from what Uma expected.

Hwangho’s reaction was strangely cold and astute.

Fwaaa…

As Hwangho flicked his hand, the surrounding magic fluctuated and a golden glow rose from the ground.

When the boundary developed by Hwangho moved, Uma rushed out.

The place where Uma’s feet were planted just now was immediately covered with gold.

The gold boundary warped around the dried land and vegetation to prevent the decay from spreading.

Uma was shocked at the generous effort.

‘Why is Hwangho moving like he knew what would happen? Just how much information did the Tiger Clan get?’

The questions that Uma had before he used Gulaganna’s power reappeared.

He tried thinking of Hwangho and the Tiger Clan, but of course, he couldn’t get an answer.

Because it was Jo Euishin who predicted it.

— I thought I saw the head of the Cow Clan use Gulaganna’s power…

Jo Euishin presented several possibilities during their operations meeting.

The first hypothesis was that in the game, the head of the Cow Clan was replaced by Gulaganna.

Hwangho refuted this hypothesis.

— That’s unlikely. Uma has a deep reputation among the Cow Clan. It was only after the Jade Emperor and Buddha dispatched an army and Jecheondaesung cooperated. I don’t think Gulaganna will be able to press the backlash in a short period of time.

— If the head of the Cow Clan who attended the 12-point alliance talk is Uma, then you’re right.

Jo Euishin agreed with Hwangho.

The second hypothesis was that Uma connected to a superior being to use Gulaganna’s power through a light skill.

This was also unlikely to be true.

— Uma was taken to the forefront of the Jade Emperor after being defeated by Jecheondaesung. If he’s given a strong light skill that could cause famine, it’s like putting a fight on the emperor.

— Euishin hyung and Hwangho-nim have a point. But it’s only unlikely. It can still happen.

Eunho, who was listening to Hwangho and Jo Euishin, said so.

— Gulaganna could’ve conquered the Cow Clan in a short time, or a superior being could’ve lent him strength. The third hypothesis by Euishin hyung is also possible. He could cause a famine using extremely rare consumable items.

It was also very unlikely, but the possibility couldn’t be disregarded.

— I think Euishin hyung has a fourth hypothesis though. I’m sure Euishin hyung thinks it’s the right answer.

When Eunho said so, Euishin’s blinking became a little faster.

Although Jo Euishin didn’t express it verbally, he seemed to think “How did he know that?”

The tigers who saw it hid the delight in their faces and waited for Jo Euishin to give the fourth hypothesis.

His guess was that Uma used the power of Gugalanna.

At that, Jeokho raised a few questions.

— No matter how close they are, it doesn’t make sense that he can use the power of another cow. There’s a possibility of having similar powers once people live together for a long time on the same land but…

Jeokho looked at Hwangho as he spoke.

Hwangho learned Taehokwon from Cheongho a long time ago, and he became good at it enough for him to make a fuss against excellent students at Eungwang High.

Still, it was impossible to use other people’s power.

Even after thousands of years of friendship, Hwangho cannot use Baekho’s sword dance, and Baekho cannot use Hwangho’s boundary skill.

Even if they give each other an order.

— There’s a limit to what a superior being’s order can do to a royal lineage’s light skill. At best, the skill and light skill that they have existing will transform a little. Even if Gulaganna gave a great order to Uma, it’s still impossible to use his power.

Superior beings can only choose one person to lend their power through light skill.

Such was the case for Yoo Sanghee, who uses Akea’s power through healing with her light skill.

Also, Kim Yuri, who can make water flood since she’s related to superior beings.

In the case of those two, they can use the power of a superior being through their light skill.

However, it’s different for people of royal lineage.

Although it was possible to give strength by engraving a presence to a royal lineage, there was a limit.

That’s why Yong Jegun wants to ascend and give power to Kim Shinrok.

— There’s a way to use the power of other royal lineage through means other than an order.

Jeokho couldn’t think of it right away.

The first one to find the answer was Hwangho.

— I guess you’re talking about Wu Zhiqi.

Underground of TC Research Institute.

We discovered that Wu Zhiqi was trapped there when we went to rescue Yoo Sanghee.

Wu Zhiqi was bound by Do Sihoo’s chain and became an energy source for TC’s project.

— If I were the Black Screen, I don’t think I’d use that skill only for Wu Zhiqi.

I’d use it on any royal lineage who wouldn’t follow me.

It was dangerous and immoral, but it was a strong move.

— Do Sihoo never cooperated when they were sealing Wu Zhiqi. So they forced Do Sihoo’s light skill to activate. That’s why his power was unstable. But what if the person was completely willing?

And it wasn’t Wu Zhiqi, but Gulaganna and Uma.

Hwangho decided to assume that the fourth hypothesis given by Jo Euishin was true.

The head of the Cow Clan, Uma, will use Gulaganna’s power.

And just as Jo Euishin said, the head of the Cow Clan did.

Uma freely transformed and used Gulaganna’s power at the same time.

Hwangho tied the ground and used magic to prevent the decay from spreading.

‘I knew that he’d use Gulaganna’s power, but it’s not easy.’

The winter air is still cold, yet sweat started to form on Hwangho’s school uniform.

As the Guardian of the territory, Hwangho can always influence the land to protect it.

Gulaganna, the god who can kill the ground, had a bad temper.

Hwangho’s burden was even greater as he had to fight while maintaining the land.

‘Near the peak is a spring where the Tiger Clan’s treasure is. All essence would dry up if Gulaganna’s power reaches it.’

If the land dies, the Tiger Clan loses its power.

It would be catastrophic, to say the least.

It was clear that great otherworlds would occur once earth power was lost, without the need for the Black Screen’s intervention.

Just as the looting carried about by the Oath of the Three Knights in Manchester.

“Are you going to kill me because you can’t get earth power from my land?”

Fwaaaa!

Hwangho’s cold words relayed his anger as he tried to squeeze Uma’s neck with the boundary.

However, with the famine being called by Uma, Hwangho had no choice but to redistribute his power.

As the famine spread faster than expected, Hwangho clicked his tongue.

The strong light of the golden particles moved.

‘The power is greater than I thought. I have to make a decision!’

As Hwangho put more power into his boundary skill, he was succeeding in containing Gulaganna’s power.

But the problem remains.

Hwangho has to deal with Uma without the boundary skill.

Uma was someone who doesn’t give up even after being surrounded.

It’s unknown how far Hwangho’s martial arts skills can take him.

‘Physical fights aren’t my specialty.’

Nevertheless, Hwangho held up his rod and aimed at Uma.

Uma stopped to see and took out his dual swords.

It seems that he knew it was useless to hide his identity now, but Uma’s silhouette now showed a cow.

A long horn of blue-gold stone was exposed through his hair, his outer skin was thickened, and his long tail was revealed.

Kwaaaang!

The moment Hwangho’s rod and the dual swords collided.

Hwangho saw someone behind Uma and his eyes opened wide from shock.

Someone who appeared like the wind was reaching for Uma’s tail.

A man wearing a crow mask.
