Chapter 1023
Episode 247 La Prarosa Liberation War (11)
[Hmph, do you want to say it’s just like now, Lokia?]
[In some ways, you could say it’s still like that now. From now on, we will have to protect La Prarosa against this incredible weapon of war. By the way, descendant.]
As soon as the word descendant came out, Jin lashed out with his sword. A blue flash of light tore through the dark red shield spread between the air fortresses and entered.
Sugaak-!
The huge window where Lokia’s face appeared was torn apart.
“I told you not to dare call me your descendant. It looks like your ears are dark. Or are you sure that you will not die if you appear as a spirit?”
Jin recognized right then and there that Lokia was not her real self, but her alter ego. The battle-god union that Lokia kept trying to break was now becoming more tightly bound.
[…Oh, if it were me before. The blow just now must have been quite scary.]
“Then it means that you had better sense in the past. For the first and last time, I’ll give you one chance. Go back. “Today is the only moment when you can meet me and be safe.”
The voice exuded a deeper and more solemn energy, and Lokia was thrilled by the vibrations transmitted beyond the ship.
Maybe Murakan was right, that was the first thought that came to mind.
[But now it’s been too long since I’ve been bothered by such words. I’m too worn out to feel fear. Hehe, yeah. Let’s stop calling them descendants. Anyway, I decided not to have any regrets about the current sword family.]
“The current sword family, La. We have confirmed information that you have created a kind of world by forming subspace. You say you have no regrets about Runkandel, but aren’t my trashy relatives joining you in playing house there? “Joshua, Mu, and Anne.”
Jin was feeling it.
Lokia was clearly feeling regretful. The children of Runkandel whom she brought in to create her own world were nothing but shabby outcasts.
“All the brightest things in the family are with me, Lokia. Have you ever wondered why you couldn’t take any of them?”
[Hehe, what is it?]
“Because you didn’t endure it. There may have been a time when you made sacrifices for your family, but that’s it. In the end, you chose betrayal instead of enduring, fighting, and struggling together. However, he pretends to be the creator and tries to recreate the world to get Runkandel. “It’s just an ugly obsession.”
What exactly the world of Lokia is, Jin has never seen its reality in person. However, it was clearly visible that Lokia wanted ‘Runkandel’. The only thing that made her eyes shine beyond the huge window was her obsession with Runkandel.
“But there is only one thing you can take from my Runkandel, Lokia Ganesto. “That’s the punishment you deserve.”
-[He was a traitor… He joined hands with a witch and turned Temar into a monster. It was all Lokia’s ruse. Solderet left Temar for a while, the gods betrayed us, and the rise of Ziple.] -Please
tell me in more detail.
-[Before killing me, Lokia said her goal was the resurrection of the sun god. That’s why he killed all his colleagues and left only Bale alive. They said they would completely erase the current world and restore a normal world. It was said to be the original form of the world, and Lokia used everything for that purpose. The family, the witch, and even the Ziffle.]
Jin recalled the words that Padler had spoken like a will before he disappeared. Whatever Lokia did, no matter what was behind it, was something that could never be forgiven.
“Lokia Ganesto!”
A blue-black spark appeared in Jin’s eyes.
“You betrayed your family a thousand years ago, harmed Temar Runkandel, the Ten Knights, and those who followed them, and have continued that cursed life to this day, plotting to harm your family. As the head of the small family, I will tell you what punishment you deserve. The punishment is eternal despair. “You can’t achieve what you want, you can’t have what you want, and you can’t reach what you want to reach.”
Hwaaaaaaaaaaa! Tsuzussut…!
The ferocious thunder energy of the Emperor’s Reigning Sword once again filled the Great Desert. Before even a second had passed, the soul energy that had been encroaching near Jin was pushed away.
The blue storm was moving endlessly in a semicircle around Jin. The four air fortresses were pushed back to the back of Cree by their repulsive force, and Simat, who had been wandering in the pit, climbed back to the ground and grabbed his sword.
‘What is this… it’s still not over?’
As if the fog had cleared, Simat’s dark eyes, which had been covered in despair, were opening.
He felt like he had finally escaped the cave and faced the light. Even though this blue thundergi was capable of tearing itself to pieces, and even though it could trample on itself more cruelly than the stolen Kree, it did not do so.
Rather, they were protecting him. It was giving me a sense of peace that was even greater than the mystical sensation I once experienced at the altar of the sun god.
That’s not because Jin has any special powers related to the sun god. Just Jin was giving him hope. Hope that he can continue the fight one last time.
Salvation.
Simat suddenly remembered that word. What the Ming Dynasty Tusin said, the story that they were saved from Jin.
‘Salvation… came from man, not God.’
In that sense, Simat was now being saved. Even though it is still impossible to save one’s life and those of one’s compatriots.
Sometimes simply breaking down old and vain illusions and facing the truth was salvation.
Of course, Jin doesn’t respect Simat, no matter what he realizes. There were too many innocent people killed by their red swords for that to happen.
He was only spared because his blade was now pointed at Lokia, not at him. If Simat had made a different decision, Jin would have been the first to destroy him.
“Thank you, Jean Runkandel. Still, it would be impossible for us to become colleagues, but in the end… I will do my best for my compatriots. “And for you, who allowed me the opportunity to fight for my people.”
Huuuu….
Simat took a deep breath. He was accepting the blue brain energy that surrounded him.
A long time ago, his light heart had already accepted the blue brain energy.
The day I was falsely accused and kicked out of Critil, was the day I happened to meet Elthiot. Elthiot, who was already a giant at that time, tried to accept him as Cheongmyeong, but Simat betrayed him. Because I believed that was the path of the enemy.
“And shamelessly, I would like to ask you one favor. Tell the Emperor of Cheongpung that I am sorry. “Thanks to you, I realized how great the favor the old man gave me was.”
Simat’s optical heart was turning purple.
Harmony, a trait I learned from Elliot back then and have denied until now. The truth that has been dismissed as an illusion created by a cruel and weak person to hide himself.
Tetalon.
Simat threw away the sword containing the power of the sun god. In order to realize the newly enlightened truth, the sword contained too many old things.
Instead, Simat carefully used his brain energy to form a new purple sword. The blade, so strong that it seemed as if nothing could blur it, gave off a bright light in his hand.
Simat was so intoxicated by the sensation that he forgot that time had passed.
More than 30 minutes passed before he accepted the blue thunderbolt and abandoned Tetalon. In the meantime, countless battles took place between Jin, his colleagues, and Lokia.
Jin was no longer standing guard over La Prarosa. Instead of him, Murakan and the Tuwangs of the Ming Dynasty were guarding the front.
Sigmund ignored the four air fortresses and stretched out only Kree.
The Kree’s incredibly large hull means that as long as the shield is breached, any area becomes a target.
But Kree was not just a gigantic air fortress. The war weapon, in which the essence of the enemy tribe’s technological prowess was applied to its limit, appeared to move like a subspace rather than a ship.
When you hit the sword on the glove, the part suddenly distorts and disappears. When a sword energy capable of covering an entire part of the hull was fired, only the part that exactly touched it became transparent.
Because of this, Jin’s sword technique was in the form of striking the air one after another. No matter how sharp the sword was, it could not cut down the target if it did not touch it.
However, Jin did not feel frustrated at all. Lokia also didn’t think that Jin’s sword was going to waste.
Jin was just looking for a way. A way to reach Lokia without completely destroying Kree.
Destroying Kree was after annihilating Lokia’s spirit body. From that spirit body, I had to find clues as to where the real Lokia was.
On the other side of Jin, Simat’s purple brain energy was piercing Cree. Like Jin, he was also searching for Lokia’s spirit body. Only by killing her could her compatriots be freed from chaos.
‘As expected, it wasn’t inside the fortress.’
Jin was the first to figure out the location of the spirit body.
Sigmund has already passed through the entire Kree once. Nevertheless, since there was nothing caught on the sword, Lokia’s spiritual body had no choice but to be outside.
The space where Lokia had been hiding until now was a pit behind the passage of La Prarosa. And there, the main gun separated from the Cree was lying there, invisible.
The moment Jin looked back, Lokia smiled at him. If the main gun explodes, it will be possible to block it. Instead, not only Murakan but also the Tuwangs of the Ming Dynasty had no choice but to get hurt.
But the main gun never fired.
“Still, a teenage knight spends his time on pranks like that. Or have you lost your senses because it’s been so long since you went out and fought like this?”
Originally, Cree moves based on the red brain. To bring out all that performance, they also needed the optical heart of Simat, their fighting spirit.
However, what currently accounts for the largest portion of Cree’s driving force is the spirit wielded by Lokia. And while Jin was searching for Lokia’s location, he was slowly restraining her spirit. So that people don’t make modifications as they want, like they do now.
“It would be best to try to protect Kree now, Lokia. You seem to have forgotten, but you cannot pose any threat to my brothers without this ship. “It means I’m not the only one who has something to protect now…”
Jin’s sword was pointed at Kree again.
