Chapter 854,
Chapter 213. Prelude to Rift Cataclysm (1)
November 20, 1803.
Ameris accepted the fact that the Bongma Wall was crumbling.
“Yes… the entrance to the underworld is only the place guarded by this body in the old etherium, but it didn’t matter if it wasn’t the entrance. That entrance is only an area that can be opened and closed by my will, but if it gets hit, it can be pierced anywhere.”
After Jin and Murakan met Kingelo, Ameris often complained of headaches and recalled her lost memories.
-The Bongma Wall has already been partially destroyed. Ameris probably doesn’t remember this fact. So I would have asked you to find out how we manage the demons.
-Have some already been destroyed?
– It was destroyed by the Qingming and Jeokming tribes of the ancient Ming Dynasty. At that time, Ameris hurriedly repaired the Bongma Wall… At that time, some of the demons who had already lived underground escaped to the middle world. between the above and below ground.
Just like the conversation she had with Zephyrin at the King’s Headquarters, Ameris had completely forgotten that the Bongma Wall had been destroyed.
“At that time, the ancient Myeongwang tribe destroyed part of the Bongma Wall… and now, as Jito regains his strength, the collapse is accelerating. Besides, it’s Paelito, and that demon also remembers now. Sword Demon Jinma World’s No. 1 Sword.”
According to Ameris, there were many demons with transcendental powers, not just Paelito, in the real world of demons. Among them, Jito was a dangerous being on a different level from the others.
Ameris felt a sense of shame. It was because of the fact that the sun god died and he could not fulfill his only destiny.
“It is dangerous for this body to go to fix the seal even now. As Orgal said, the seal will collapse even more as I try to restore it through my power. It’s a sad thing to lose the power in its prime.”
“I know that feeling well. Don’t be too weak, Mr. Ameris. Who knows if he will be able to recover and become stronger like me again?”
“Many of the beings that were already my head have disappeared, so even if I want to find them, I can’t find them, Murakan.”
“Then you have to train and become strong. Let me know if you need anything and I will help.”
“I’m done with training, and for some reason I feel like I want to beat you up.”
“The other day, I got a call from Seongguk. Ayula gave a revelation to the Holy King. There will soon be a cataclysm in the world, so keep Advent rites constant.”
Advent Festival is a festival to commemorate the day when Ayula first descended on Bankela, the holy kingdom.
But this time, the Advent ritual that Ayula requested from Rani was different. He wanted all the subjects of the holy kingdom to pray so that he could actually manifest himself.
“transition. Wasn’t that the revelation the King Seong heard?”
“Yes, it was about the transfer of the realm of the Jin Demon to the ground in the near future.”
It was the reason why Ayula tried to descend to the Holy Kingdom herself, even for a moment.
“I heard from Murakan that this immortal named Ayula was famous for purging other immortals who overindulged on the surface. Is it your intention to participate in destroying Jito?”
“It’s difficult to do that, and they say it’s to protect the Holy Kingdom. He said that he would take measures to prevent the land of the real demon world from being transferred to the Holy Kingdom, and furthermore, set up a barrier throughout the Holy Kingdom that most demons could not invade.”
“It’s a little disappointing, but that alone will be of great help. It would mean, as Ayula said, that we don’t always have to have some of our main forces in the Holy Land on standby after the Cataclysm begins.”
“Ayula, if that nobleman is in such a hurry, it’s virtually certain that the demons will come up soon. Orgal also said that it wouldn’t be strange even if demons came up within a few days.”
“Enemy clans will also be reclaiming their old strength, Jin. Even though Elona Ziple appeared, the proof is that the Red Horse War did not lean toward Zipline at once.”
For example, royalties were no different from a powder keg in front of an oil field that could explode at any moment.
It is a problem even if the enemy tribe restores major power including the death god, and even if Jiple completes the demon stone and puts Elona at the fore, it is fatal.
In addition, the existence of the Imperial Family, the Sun God Church, and Sanna, whose whereabouts and exact powers are hard to grasp, even Rokia Ganesto, who is presumed to be the biggest shadow of all of this.
‘Even though I’ve become this strong and the Barmal Union has become this huge… it’s full of daunting tasks.’
Now that Shiron is absent, Jin is the closest person to the greatest swordsman in the world.
Even so, there were not many things Jin could solve alone. This is because it is not a selfish fight for survival alone. Such a fight did not serve Jin’s purpose or will.
As of now, what can be expected is that the scattered problems will explode as late as possible, and that geniuses led by Dr. Kwaul achieve the union’s long-cherished wish as soon as possible.
‘Ielo mass production and completion of the Golden Fleet, liberation of Lapra Rosa. Yielo mass production is something that can be accomplished if given time. However, the Golden Fleet and the liberation of Lapla Rosa have no choice but to rely on the variable called Faitel.’
-Yes, the Thunder Dragon, Kalthor. When he wakes up, I plan to try to communicate with the storm god Faytel. Faitel’s power is strong, and he’ll be as powerful as he is fundamentally a god. I guess that might be the answer.
-I don’t know if that cowardly, frivolous god… will help. i don’t know if i can help
-I heard that Faytel begged Murakan for his life when he was a reserve jockey. There will be bad feelings left. So if you refuse to cooperate, then Murakan-nim will lose again. Then what would happen?
Jin smiled bitterly as he remembered the conversation he had with Valeria a while ago. The Golden Fleet and the Lapra Rosa liberation project were so tightly blocked that even that calm and rational Valeria had no choice but to say that.
“Z.”
“Yeah Nari!”
“Have you heard anything from Yulian or the dedicated healers saying that when the lightning dragon Kalthor will wake up?”
“Yes Nari. Things are going very well for the dragon named Kalthor these days. He said he would be fully conscious within a week at the earliest, so please wait a little longer.”
“Hmm… Got it.”
Even though a week and a month is not that long, it felt very far away. The way the world goes around puts so much pressure on Jin.
‘It’s fortunate that Orgal promised to provide unlimited support for Jinma World’s work without any compensation this time… But that promise can be overturned at any time if the situation with Kingelo becomes favorable for some reason.’
Jin sighed and said:
“Oh, it would be nice if there were suddenly powerful reinforcements appearing like magic from somewhere.”
Of course, Jin hadn’t even dreamed of the fact that Luna and Zed’s former black knights were returning from the Black Sea.
“Heng kid. Saying how long has it been since this Murakan-nim came back? I’m sorry Are you saying I’m not enough?”
“Yes, it’s strangely lacking.”
“This child.”
“Among the giant powers, we are the only ones who care so much about peace between ordinary mortals and people, so we can’t help it.”
As I was thinking about this and that, the communication device on the table resonated. It was a communication from the Empire.
{Jin.}
Jin recognized at once that there was a hint of urgency in his friend’s voice.
“What happened to Dante?”
{Could you come over here now? I received a report that an anomaly has occurred in the kingdom of Meltador.}
“Anomaly?”
{Remember the city of Romp in Meltador?}
“I remember. This is where you met Kiddard Hall.”
{I heard there was a strange crack there, presumably a dimension door… I don’t think it has anything to do with that.}
“Has it already started? Nice contact Dante. I’ll go to Highlan 2 right away, so wait a little bit.”
{Thank you, I understand.}
After finishing the communication, Jin let out another sigh involuntarily.
“Ha, this is not the time to be frustrated. Yes, an ultra-long-distance communication device. Thanks to having acquired these skills in advance, if a problem arises, I can respond right away like I do now. Let’s go Murakan. This time, Ameris-sama should also go with us.”
“It should be. Although I may have lost my memory, no one knows more about the energy of the Demon Realm than I do.”
“What about Nari Kingelo? Shall we ask Siris-sama to tell us that there is a rift?”
“No, there is no need to share all information with Orgal. We’ll check first and see Orgal if we need more information.”
“Okay!”
* * *
As soon as he rode the red owl and arrived at Romp, Jin narrowed his eyes as he remembered what happened with Kiddard Hall in the past.
‘If the realm that people commonly call hell exists in the realm of demons, he must be suffering there by now.’
Romp was the same landscape as when Jin was a reserve jockey. Despite the presence of the Geomhwang Temple and the Temple of Destiny, which tainted the world with chaos, this small port city on the outskirts was a quiet landscape with little change.
However, the fear of ordinary people is hidden in the quiet scenery. There was not a single ship that started fishing in the port, and it was difficult to find people on the streets.
It was because of the cracks that formed out of nowhere in the middle of the city.
“That’s the crack….”
“As written in the report, it’s definitely growing little by little, Jin.”
As soon as Ameris saw the rift, she shook her head and said:
“I’m sure. That’s the spirit of the realm of demons. It seems to be a form of summoning magic… Are you trying to transfer the cities of the real demon world in this way? This land will soon be encroached upon by demons underground.”
While the party was checking the cracks, reports with the same content were being written all over the Empire, as well as the Barmal Union and the Lutero Federation.
Cracks similar to those seen in the Romp were sprouting all over the ground like tumors.
