Chapter 1022
Episode 247 Laprarosa Liberation War (10)
‘Is that Kree…’
Jin, Murakan, and the Underworld also looked up into the sky.
Cree was originally a red aerial fortress, the same color as the Red Mystery tribe’s symbol, but now it had soul all over its hull, as if it were a tumor.
So it seemed more dangerous. Just like the huge ship ‘Ram’ operated by the evil god during the Battle of the Evil God.
‘Ram, we have to assume it’s more than that.’
Gooooo…!
A huge red thunderwave that had never appeared before was spreading around Kree in the Great Desert.
Anyone could understand the power even without seeing it with their own eyes. It was as if infinite power, like the sun, was vibrating in the deepest part of the mountain range-like hull.
Just a surge of power splits the earth and distorts the sky. The terrible power that could wipe out the continent in one fell swoop was contained in a single air fortress.
“Compatriots, wake up! “Our last fight cannot be tainted like this.”
The Jeokmyeong tribe did not respond to Simat’s desperate cries.
Those who survived were already consumed by marriage. Instead of being his loyal compatriot, he was now an expendable item of chaos.
The same was true for the dying Daetu Kings. Before they knew it, they were clinging to the air fortresses, with their torn flesh and bones recovering from their souls.
[Kwaaaaak.]
[Geuuuk…!]
Bakarun was attached to the center of Pivil, and Rakiman and Bekios were fused together to the upper part of Vessel and Rittal. It was as if someone had torn them apart and stuffed them into the damaged parts of the air fortress.
Simat felt nausea rising at the sight of that bizarre sight.
Rather than the power of the Jin that united their bodies and gods, and more than the inevitable future of destruction, the fact that his compatriots had become a mass of chaotic flesh was making Simat despair. Only the empty eyes of my compatriots stained with chaos.
“Lokia Ganesto. “How dare you… what are you doing?”
[It would have been nice if you had done what you were supposed to do, Simat. Then neither of you would be tired.]
Ji-ing!
Suddenly, a huge red window appeared above Cree. Lokia’s face, hidden by the hood, was revealed in the window.
[But now that we have achieved good results, it is worthy of praise. Thank you for your hard work. Rest in peace now. You can just let go of the lifeline that was forcibly held on by the power of Changseong, or…]
The main gun protruded from the center of the Cree. The speed was so fast that even Simart missed it for a moment, and the main gun fired fire straight at him.
A light wave mixed with soul energy and red brains, Simat quickly swung his sword, but unlike other air fortresses, it was not an attack that could be parried.
“Wow!”
It was also an attack that even a body made of red brains could not avoid the impact of. He was completely buried in the shelling for a while and was convulsing.
This was because the soul contained in the bombardment was eating him up like a swarm of insects.
[I could end that miserable life for you. Would you say it is a kind of consideration? [For the dog who barked well at the end.]
It is different from the wounds received from fighting with swords and swords, as warriors and warriors. It is also different from the helplessness I felt during the process. Cree’s main gun, steeped in spirit, was thoroughly trampling on his last pride.
Every time a piece of soul energy entered the body, the screams of the compatriots could be heard.
The ancient times where they reigned as rulers, the Great Seal who could not be opposed, the misery of being exploited by insignificant humans, and now that they are facing destruction again even after regaining their fighting spirit.
All of the despair and frustration of his compatriots was clawing at Simat’s inner self. Sharply broken fragments of dreams.
“Let my compatriots… die, Lokia Ganesto. “If you don’t want to regret it.”
[Ah, it’s scary. Let your compatriots just face death? Hehe, I can’t believe those words are coming out of your mouth. So far, you’ve been using these things like consumables. While running the Immortal Army, he squeezed out even those who should have been put to rest according to nature.]
While Lokia was speaking, the light waves of artillery fire subsided.
A huge hole was left where Simat was standing, the depth of which could not be estimated. The desert sand, which had turned black, was sucked into the whirlpool like water.
Simat looked as if he were nothing but a bone, barely able to fall with his red brain waves spread out in the middle of the whirlpool. The chaos that clung to his entire body like a leech continued to gnaw at his body.
“I told them to just let him die.”
[And I also said that to my descendants, right? The Jeokmyeong people have no hesitation in trampling on the weak, and they are not afraid of being defeated by the stronger. Well then, Simat, this is just the situation. Besides Jin, someone stronger than you has appeared and is just using those under you as he pleases.]
Seaaaaagh!
Tetalon vomited red sword energy towards Kree. However, the sword energy could not even reach Cree and was blocked by the protective shield formed by the four air fortresses.
It’s not because they’ve been weakened by artillery fire. While fighting against Jin, he pierced the Myeonwang Reign Sword several times and inflicted several light wounds on various parts of Jin’s body.
The reason Tetalon couldn’t reach Kree right now was because it was shaking inside. The fact that he could no longer fight while protecting his ultimate pride, and the fact that this all came from his own mistakes, was clouding his sword.
-You are nothing but a foolish leader who drove you and your compatriots to death and into the jaws of chaos. If you can at least die unharmed, it will be fortunate for you.
It was just as Jin said a moment ago. The one who has turned his people into a mass of chaotic flesh is not Lokia, but himself.
If I hadn’t joined hands with chaos.
If I hadn’t used the beads that Lokia gave me, or if I hadn’t received them at all, would the result have been different? Could it have been possible for them all to fight and die as enemies, rather than as infected monsters?
Even when I blinked my eyes, I was constantly filled with regret. My legs were caught in confusion and I was staggering around.
“Jin Runkandel.”
Suddenly, Simat called Jin. Without looking back.
“Cheongpungje, now I understand why that old man trusted you. Our fight… ends here. I admit defeat. “You are better than me as a warrior, and as a leader you are so superior that I cannot even be compared to you.”
Crunch, crack, crack…! The chaos clinging to Simat began to melt away. The emaciated body did not return, but the real body turned to ashes a long time ago anyway. From earlier, he was able to fight even without a physical body.
“It may not seem the same, but I still want to spend my last days for my compatriots. From now on, I will turn my back on you and fight. We will cut down that witch’s followers and the flying fortress that was our greatest pride. Even if you stab me in the back, I will accept it.”
Jin didn’t answer.
There was no reason to stop him. For the next twelve hours, I have to protect La Prarosa no matter what happens.
[You probably don’t think that’s enough to atone, Simat. “Your eyes are shining in a way that doesn’t fit the theme.]
“Nothing can forgive me for the sins I committed against my compatriots. So listen, compatriots. I will let you die. I will take on all this pain and confusion on your behalf. “Even if I cannot enter into rest, you certainly will.”
The inner chaos that had been bothering Simat was extinguished.
Even the despair and resentment of the compatriots heard inside did not all disappear. Rather, that resentful voice was amplifying more clearly with each passing second.
That is a pain that can never be overcome.
But even if you are buried in darkness, you just have to move and fight. Even if you can’t see, you just have to find the way. A way for our compatriots to find rest.
Lokia was smiling as she clearly looked into Simat’s inner self.
[It’s funny. Even after living such a bloody and terrible life, I can’t believe I find hope in rest. And that was just one awakening, and one brutal fight. Isn’t that right, descendant?]
Lokia blocked Simat’s approach as easily as swatting away a fly. Every time the Kree’s main gun fired red bullets, Simat was plunged deep into the basement, accompanied by chaos.
Due to the continuous bombardment, it was impossible to get out of the hole like the first time. Even though Simat’s sword is burning red again.
Inside the hood, Lokia’s shiny eyes were touching Jin for the first time.
And Jin was feeling it. As soon as I met that gaze, Lingling, who was hiding in the center of the Light Heart, was screaming.
“You are trying to disconnect me from my half-brother, Lokia Ganesto. “Don’t call me your descendant with that filthy mouth.”
[I feel sorry for you. If it weren’t for me, you couldn’t exist. How many times did I save Temar’s life before he had children? Didn’t you tell me about that, Murakan?]
[Lokia. You bastard… After all, you’re not the guy I knew. You may have crossed a line a thousand years ago, but it was all for the benefit of Temarwa. But what did you gain by betraying us? What is your purpose?]
[You are asking the obvious. My purpose then and now is only one. How many times have I said that I want a just world? That’s why I was drawn to Temar. At least for a time, he seemed like he could really change the world… He shined so brightly that it couldn’t even be compared to the kid next to you right now.] Murakan burst into laughter
.
[So, you became a witch’s dog to change the world?]
[Witches don’t raise dogs. I had one red cat, but I got rid of even that. She is fundamentally very different from me. I just know how to use the poison he released into the world.]
[And the kid and Temar. I’ve been through both, Lokia. I was the guardian dragon of both of them. There’s no way you know the kid better than me. Kid is different from Temar. Stronger than that guy.]
It was the first time for Murakan that he clearly recognized Jin more than Temar. And that was something very unfamiliar to him. To put someone else above Temar.
[Well, our descendants will have to face the crucial moment to know that. When you have to choose just one thing, something precious.]
