Chapter 574,
Chapter 148. Geomwang (6)
“What is that!?”
“aura? No, that’s…”
The wizards aboard the watchtower of Ziple’s unfinished 3rd Fleet flagship ‘Lucia’ widened their eyes.
They were currently crossing the waters of the Empire to go to support the Sword Emperor Temple (still only known to them).
Kelliac did not directly order reinforcements, but as the war was taking longer than expected, Ziple decided that something was wrong with the Imperial Palace.
“Notify the captain’s office quickly!”
Before the news arrived from the watchtower, another wizard on board burst into the captain’s room.
“I just came in from a scout ship! Currently, the sky near Geomwangseong is turning black and unidentified energy continues to pour in…”
“Unidentified? You stupid bastard, that’s the energy of chaos! And that of the 5 kings of the Black Sea!”
Kadun shouted, cutting off the words of the wizard reporting.
It was absurd to him, and it felt like his internal organs were all twisted. It wasn’t because of the wizards’ ignorance that they didn’t even know the energy of chaos, but because they knew who the owner of that enormous power was.
‘The white stone, is that not the chaos and records of Heluram, but the king of the sealed Black Sea…!’
A sharp headache came over me. He knew that without the power of the spearhead, he would never be able to handle the King of the Black Sea.
Hedo, standing next to Kadun, also had a heavy expression. He doesn’t know much about the King of the Black Sea, but he has experienced chaos in the past. I had never seen such vast chaos.
“It looks like the head of the household is in danger.”
“Father?”
At Hedo’s words, Sandra Ziple tilted her head.
“I guess I have to speed up. We have to open the way. Hedo, you too should take the lead and open it together.”
“Mr. Kadun. If you increase the speed, it will be difficult to maintain the state of Sogaju.”
Beradin Ziple He had forced himself out of control to prevent Cardun and Hedo from participating in the Sword Emperor’s Crusade.
So, even after Kadun decided to assist, he boarded Veradin, who was bound to the sealing device. Since they are objects that must be firmly fixed by nature, they are flying at a speed slow enough not to burden the device.
The moment Beradin ran out of control, Zipple had too much to lose.
Nevertheless, as Kadun is a guardian dragon, Kelliac was the first priority. In fact, losing Beradin can be replaced even if it hurts the bones, but Kelliac doesn’t.
Hedo, on the other hand, observed the situation more calmly.
“still.”
“Just calm down. It seems to me that even me and Kadun would have a hard time breaking through that level of chaos anyway. Besides…”
Hedo’s eyes narrowed as he looked at the sky over the sea.
“I can feel the energy of creation. Someone on the battlefield has reached the window. It seems that he is the black emperor. His aura holds the chaos in check.”
Originally, Kadun was able to fully recognize it, but he missed it because he was in a hurry. Through the black sky, I could see the protective wall that Ron had spread, standing out little by little.
There is no way to know how Ron, who was immersed in internal trauma, became a genius so suddenly. Hedo felt that it was not an important issue.
“If Geomhwang entered Changseong, it would be even more problematic. Doesn’t he already have a grudge against the family head?”
“He is planting something like that on his land, but he is not the kind of person who would precede personal revenge. If I had tried to kill the family head first, I wouldn’t have prevented the chaos like that.”
“What a nice old man!”
“…miss. There must be the 12 Horsemen of Runkandel in that place that must be a living hell.”
“Oh yes! baby! shit! Hey what are you doing! As Mr. Kadun said, don’t speed up right now!”
“I don’t even know if he’s already dead.”
“Say that stupid thing one more time. Just wear it.”
“Mr. Kadun.”
Hedo met Kadun’s eyes.
“I’d better wait.”
“what! Can’t you hear me Hedo!?”
“Why do you think so?”
“The appearance of chaos spreading is unusual. Breakthrough seems impossible. I think it would be better to take measures to prevent the chaos that breaks through the shield of the Emperor from destroying the family’s territory. At that speed, it will reach not only the empire, but also the land of the family in no time.”
Kadun thought for a moment.
‘Heddo is right. Anyway, the King of the Black Sea cannot be dealt with unless it is Geomhwang, and it is very risky to run Beradin out of control.’
In addition, no matter how the fight in the Geomwangseong ended, one of Ron and the King of Chaos would surely die. Even the winning side will never be normal.
Then, at that time, the side with the highest remaining potential has an advantage in all aspects. Therefore, it was necessary to conserve power as much as possible, and for that purpose, territorial defense was absolutely necessary.
“Do as you say. Until there is a meaningful change in the situation, we prevent chaos from spreading to the realm.”

Runkandel’s reinforcements were in exactly the same situation as Ziple. As the war got longer, they were heading to Geomwangseong according to the war scenario Rosa said.
‘Is that catastrophic force spreading from the existence of Gleek, the king of the Black Sea?’
In place of Jorden, it was Difus who led the knights of the Black Sword Society and Runcandel’s binary allied family. Originally, he was protecting Tikan at Jin’s request as soon as the Geomhwang Temple began, but he had to command reinforcements as the situation was.
The information that Gleek had awakened came from the Bamal Alliance, which escaped the battlefield, not from the knights who had gone out to reconnaissance.
‘Moreover, the power of creation is preventing the spread of chaos throughout the land of the Empire… Perhaps Sir Ron.’
Difus was also checking Ron’s energy that was holding back the chaos.
‘It is impossible to advance through the battlefield with all our strength. If it’s not a window, you can’t hit it anyway, so even if you can enter it, it’s unlikely to be of any help. Rather, it will become a burden.’
So, as soon as Gleeek woke up, Rosa let all the knights except the Black Knight and the first group of the Black Swordsman escape to the outside. Difus was making the same judgment.
“What are you going to do, brother?”
Merry said, standing next to Difus. She had recently started her personal training, entrusting all the work of the 7th rider to Difus, but was called in urgently.
There was a hint of nervousness in Mary’s voice. It was not easy to maintain composure, thinking that Jin and the family might end.
Difus made a decision right away.
“There is no law against the energy of chaos escaping the empire and invading the family’s land. From now on, the main family and allies will stop the chaos from escaping until it is determined that entering the battlefield is possible.”
“Damn it, there are no unnies at a time like this.”
Luna is fighting Kial, and Runtia is unaware of the current situation as she is tracking down Temar’s legacy.
Stuffing her hair, Mary looked at Mew and Ann.
‘What are those things that are strangely relaxed? Even the appearance of whispering is unlucky.’
Mary strode towards them.
“Hey you.”
“why?”
“What are you whispering about?”
“ah.”
Mu smiled.
“I think you worry too much.”
“what?”
“Would the 7th Horseman be so worried even if his father was in Geomwangseong? Lon Hylan has risen to Changseong and he will defend his territory, even he is friendly to the Twelve Horsemen. It sounds like something we don’t have to worry about so much.”
“How many of our knights do you think are dying in there?”
“I don’t know exactly, but it’s certain that it’s taking less damage than Ziple. Lon Hylan will be helping the 12 Horsemen. If the situation ends with relatively greater damage to Zipple, isn’t it an advantage for our family?”
Mary was speechless for a moment.
There was nothing wrong with Mew’s answer. But that was not the reason Mary hesitated.
“Oh yes. You might think so, huh? You crazy people say that now. See you when the situation is over. Get out of here right now, because it looks like your fist is going to rise.”
As soon as Mary answered, Mew and Ann left the seat.
“…Brother Difus.”
“uh.”
“Anyway, there is a corner where they believe in something. Something must have happened since the Second Horseman was finished. Let’s find out after this job.”
“i get it. First of all, you have to organize that, so prepare yourself.”
* * *
At the word self-destruct, Jin hesitated for the first time and looked back.
‘what…!?’
Not only Jin, but everyone on the battlefield were shocked to hear Gleeek’s voice. But Ron burst into laughter at his words.
“Self-destruct? You’re on the defensive, so you’re talking all sorts of bullshit.”
It wasn’t a voice made up to hide his true feelings. Ron quickly erased his laughter and focused on slicing and tearing Gleeek apart.
But for some reason, Jin couldn’t clear his chest. An ominous feeling that was difficult to explain crept into his brain.
‘This is not the time to lose focus on these worries. Let’s see the situation. If Sir Ron really had self-destruction in mind in the first place, at least he would have told me.’
In Jin’s field of vision, who started running again, the energy of chaos penetrated Ron’s protective wall.
‘The rest of the great families outside are not fools. They’ll definitely choose to stop that instead of entering. There’s no choice but to do that.’
The moment you want to run again.
Jin’s eyes widened. It was because, for the first time, he felt movement from Dante on his back.
“Ugh…”
“Dante! Are you out of your mind!”
The reason Dante was able to regain consciousness was no different.
It was because the power of chaos influencing Dante became unstable as Ron began to deal a serious blow to Gleec.
Warmth circulated through his cold, stiff body.
It’s been a long time since Jin realized that it’s such a difficult thing to see a close friend going through life and death.
“Jin…”
“Dante, don’t say anything until you feel better. Don’t try to talk, just hold on a little longer and I’ll treat you…!”
A smile spread across Ron’s lips. It was a small voice that started so far away, and the battlefield was full of deafening explosions, but he could hear his grandson’s voice clearly.
Dante seemed to want to say something more, but then he breathed heavily and was unable to speak for a while. His consciousness was repeating its return and disappearance, and each time Ron slashed Gleeek, the cycle of awakening seemed to get shorter and shorter.
“Looks like the time has come to put an end to it, Gleek.”
said Ron, correcting Rashid.
