Chapter 567 Chapter
147. Gleeek, King of the Black Sea (11)
‘What is this…!’
Everywhere I looked, there was only uneasy darkness.
The sharp roar of the Great Icefield breaking, the voices of those shouting in response to the unexpected situation, the sound of fragments and sword magic colliding.
Heard nothing.
The sense of being separated from the world, with no time to recognize or deny it, made all the nerves stand on edge, but all I felt was the empty energy unique to this black space.
Jin was even mistaken for a moment that he was dead, but he held on to his composure.
‘It looks like I was dragged into Gleec’s subspace.’
I raised my hand and looked at the sword. The only thing that did not lose its original color in the pitch darkness was Jin’s body and belongings.
Jin had entered a space almost similar to this before.
‘It’s almost identical to Solderlet’s subspace. Certainly, there is a strong connection between the aura and the power of chaos that I am unaware of. It’s unpleasantly similar.’
The darkness formed by Gleeek resembled a subspace of shadows. It could be said that everything was the same except for one thing.
Does the space have favor or hostility toward you?
In the subspace of Solderlet, there was a strangely unfamiliar and comfortable feeling, but now the darkness is full of indescribably huge hostility.
And that hostility didn’t just stare at Jin.
He began to feel the fact that some invisible, eerie, cold power was penetrating his whole body.
“Big!”
The frozen blades cut through flesh and stabbed through bones.
His fists crinkled reflexively, and a moan leaked out from his clenched mouth.
chaos.
It was the chaos of Gleeek’s will that made Jean suffer.
That power far exceeded the numerous types of physical and mental pain Jin had endured.
If it had not been for the strong spirit he had trained by jumping over the line several times, Jin would have fainted without lasting even five minutes.
“Heo-eok ka-ha-ah…”
Even as Jin.
I couldn’t help but be terrified. It was because there were no allies who could help him in this dark space, and he did not think he could escape this place alone.
Emotions that he had never recalled were trying to dominate Jin when he was fighting not only the emperor’s army that had fought before, but also the large army of Zipple.
‘The damn hand…!’
Suddenly, Jin shuddered and took a backward step.
It was because he saw that his fingertips holding the sword were stained black with chaos.
I was able to recognize things I had never experienced before. The fact that this terrible discoloration is the result of being encroached on by chaos.
His back felt chills and his blood seemed to run cold.
As I was still looking at it, I could see that the energy of chaos that stained one word of the index finger was getting bigger and bigger. like a caterpillar crawling
Moreover, the encroachment did not start only at the fingertips.
All places that were particularly painful, such as the fingers, were the points where encroachment took place.
What happens when the encroachment ends?
The conclusion he came to intuitively was a future in which he would become part of Gleec. Just like Dante did.
I had to overcome.
‘It’s different in size and depth, but it’s not fundamentally different from the despair I’ve always overcome. I’ll find a way to stop the encroachment somehow and get out of here.’
He raised his head and struggled to get himself up.
But as soon as I took a step, I fell down and did it five times.
Jin concluded that walking in this condition was impossible.
Just as no one can walk with their legs amputated, it was the same that Jin couldn’t move forward now. The will alone could never be resisted.
So Jin sat down. Instead of sitting down, I turned my seat and concentrated my mind.
spirit liberation.
First of all, it seemed that I had to push the chaos that spread through my body with it. Shadows immersed in chaos were rising along with Jin’s aura release.
Fortunately, it worked. The liberated aura washes away the chaos like clear water.
Hope appeared. For those who did not have the power of creation, only the shadow contractor could glimpse the possibility of escape in this way in the subspace of Gleec.
The problem was twofold.
The first is that because of the pain, he is not able to release his spirit energy as stably as usual.
It had to pour like a waterfall to completely end the encroachment, but the power of the shadows was only weakly responding.
The second was another phenomenon that occurred as soon as the spiritual liberation began.
The chaos that were not pushed out are trying to ‘mix’ with the aura. It is like a stream of water returning to its source.
‘Nothing is easy from start to finish in this damn war and fight.’
Aura mixed with chaos was escaping Jin’s control.
also got stronger Except for the solderlet’s will that manifested during the first war, Jin had never seen a more intense aura than that.
It was similar to when aura and magic were mixed with each other to strengthen them. It’s just hard to control like an angry beast.
The liberation of spirit energy is feeble, and the shadows mixed with chaos are explosive.
Even if it was dangerous, there was no reason not to use it.
‘Perhaps even this is another Gleec trap, but there is no other option anyway. The pure spirit of the liberation of the spirit energy only slows down the encroachment.’
Jin’s choice was no different from throwing himself into a rough turbid current, not knowing where it was going.
But for some reason, my confidence rose.
An attribute of chaos that enhances aura.
It occurred to me that this might also be the arrangement of the existence that created the principle. Perhaps that is the will of the new solderlet.
I make this power mine.
Younggi started to move according to Jin’s will.
Rather than simply resisting the chaos in order to survive vaguely, the flow was accelerating when a milestone called ‘struggle’ was created.
He suppressed the aura that had become too rough, and grabbed onto the masses that had only grown stronger.
Blood flowed nonstop from the backlash of chaos, and sometimes consciousness was blurred, but Jin was confident.
The fact that the body that was trampled on by pain is getting better.
No, it wasn’t just that. Although it is unstable, the power that exceeds his limits is surging as if it will explode at any moment.
Around that time, Jin noticed that another power inherent in him, not the aura, was reacting to the chaos.
blood.
Beyond being acknowledged, Runkandel, who had made some of the human physical essence the same as his brothers, was driving chaos fiercely.
‘Anyway, predation isn’t only allowed for you, Gleeek!’
Puzz, that is…!
Thunderstorms mingled between aura and chaos. As if Ban’s blood wasn’t afraid of encroachment, rather, it was pulling all the chaos that was caught into the mad heart.
Soon, Jin loosened the throne and straightened his body.
My shoulders felt heavy as if I was still trapped in the water, but the pain went away as I walked slowly.
Every time I moved forward, the aura that was mixed with chaos and fluctuated returned to its place.
After taking seven steps like that, Jin could feel that he had overcome the first ordeal of this subspace.
The encroachment stopped and Jin was no longer in pain.
The chaos that had run so wildly, mixed with aura, faintly fluttered like the pulses of a conveyance field.
And the body, which had been exhausted from the long battle, was now full of stronger power than before the war. To the point where I feel like there’s nothing in the world that I can’t cut.
‘Have you achieved temporary growth by overcoming chaos? Or… is it some kind of side effect?’
I couldn’t figure it out right away.
Seeing that there were traces of discoloration all over the body, either way would come at a cost.
Jin also realized that his fighting spirit was burning too much. It was the exact opposite of his intention to maintain as much composure as possible.
‘It’s a dangerous power if you can’t be completely mine. Since the encroachment on the body has stopped, it seems that they are trying to destroy the mind this time.’
The object that chaos was trying to encroach on passed from the body to the mind, so Jin made a judgment. Just like his youngest sister Jonah did.
I can’t guarantee that I can overcome it again. Neither the liberation of the spirit energy nor the blood of the sacrifice would be able to directly protect the mind.
I had to find a way out when I could keep my reason as much as possible.
The outside situation was one of two things. Trying to save Jean or fighting Gleeek.
I was worried, but I tried not to be conscious.
I couldn’t afford to just suppress the jealousy and murderous intent that was rising like a heart.
It was still dark ahead, and all he could hear was the sound of his own breathing and the small noise caused by the cerebral qi spreading from the blood he threw himself into.
I swung around Bradamante’s strengthened aura. The subspace was not affected in any way to the extent that the conviction that there would be nothing that could not be cut was colorless.
No matter how many times he tried, there was only one choice for Jin. You just have to walk until something else comes along.
And Jin faced something different from the darkness faster than expected in the vast subspace.
‘person…!?’
It looked cloudy and dark, but I could see the shape of a person crouching on the other side of the darkness in the distance.
Jin ran frantically and soon recognized who he was.
“Sir Ron!”
I didn’t think that someone else would have been caught in this subspace. Ron, in particular, was the furthest away from him.
‘Then the others…!’
The moment Jin thought that far.
Ron looked up and faced him. And as soon as Jin met his eyes, he had no choice but to stop walking.
mad hostility.
It was because Ron’s hatred, as thick and deep as the grudge he had felt from Gleec for the first time, was directed at him.
“Sir Ron! This is Gene Runkandel. You don’t recognize me…”
“Why?”
Ron interrupted Jin.
In that moment, Jin noticed that Ron’s eyes were as black as oil. That the reason is that the chaos that had crushed him before was the form that was encroached upon.
Ron got up and went on to say this.
“This monster is targeting you, but why did my grandson become its prey instead of you? Please tell me why the child was sacrificed and not you…”
When Ron finished his words, his blackened Rashid was already touching the nape of Jin’s neck.
