Episode 249. The first sortie (7) of the Ming Dynasty
sat quietly for a while and then returned to meditation. Shiron, looking a little tired, sat down next to him and meditated, and then the Two Kings and Ozdock also sat side by side and closed their eyes. Of course, Ozdoc, a monster, was not particularly effective.
“egg plant.”
Ban stood up and grabbed the piece floating in the air with one hand. He then clenched his fist and crushed it as if he were crushing an apple, but it was not completely destroyed. The crushed piece no longer functioned like a broken machine.
And I was half feeling it. The piece was not completely broken, and with just the slightest chance, it could be transformed into something dangerous at any time, like in the battle just now.
“I think it would be best for you to take this and deal with it. It is too dangerous to study and use. “I can just throw it away in a place where no one, including the Sun Goddess, can find it.”
“I understand. “I don’t know if the sun god cult would continue to exist if they met you today.”
“By the way, did you leave the other expedition members behind?”
“It is dangerous to endure the spirit of the portal multiple times.”
Siron was just strong, and since Ozdoc was a monster, he was not affected by the portal. Since the Nirvana were immune to begin with, they were able to use the portal created by Nirgand’s spirit and the power of the Sun God without much shock.
“I guess so.”
Tuwangdeul and Ozdock followed behind the two. The fighting kings were really amazed, saying that there were many similarities between Jet and Ozdoc, just as Luna said, and Ozdoc was as different as the members of the expedition team. It was not easy to understand the power of the fighting kings who were perhaps stronger than him.
“How about outside?”
“It was pretty dizzy. In some ways, even more so than when your ancestors were struggling a thousand years ago. I think that’s why there has been a lot of creativity. “Your eldest daughter also reached that level the day I was liberated.”
“Luna, that guy rose to prominence easily compared to the youngest.”
“It might have been more difficult in some ways. “That child was so strong from birth that he actually wandered further than Brother Jin.”
“That is also true. Of course, the one who liberated the Ming Dynasty, including you, was the youngest, right?”
“yes.”
“Tell me what happened.”
Ban relayed to Siron the story of the Liberation of the Ming Dynasty due to a war between the Bamul Alliance and the Red Ming Clan for a while, as well as a summary of all the events that had occurred since Luna left the expedition.
Among them, there was information that Siron knew through Jin and Luna’s inner world, and there was also information that he had guessed to some extent because the energy was transmitted to the realm of the Five Kings of the Black Sea.
However, since I didn’t know any of the details, it was interesting to listen to. Above all, it is the performance of the grown children.
“…Everyone is doing well.”
“He always had a smile on his face, his eyes were sparkling, and his comments were somewhat concise.”
“You also had a formidable look on your face when you were explaining Jin’s activities.”
“We are brothers, so of course I am proud.”
“I am also a child, so of course…”
After speaking up to that point, Siron suddenly remembered the past years when he had fallen into the devil.
The children, especially Jin, silently endured countless tasks that he should have handled originally. Rosa’s death became the biggest stigma in Siron’s life. It was a stigma of not being able to take care of the family while dealing with one’s fate.
Ban also harbored such pain. The decision to call the ‘War against the Gods’ The brothers who died at that time barely survived and are now the Ming Dynasty who have not seen the light of day for half a millennium.
Perhaps because only Ban and Shiron touched the same area in this world, the two fell silent for a moment and counted what each other had experienced. I felt like I could understand it without any explanation.
“Talaris and Ron. “It’s been a while since I’ve had a conversation with someone other than the two of you like a friend.”
“This is my first time since you were the first head of the family.”
“Temar Runkandel, what kind of person was he?”
“I was definitely not as strong as you in terms of force. But even I wasn’t someone I could guarantee. Even though there was a clear difference in level, he was able to defeat anyone. But it actually didn’t work out that way. “It ended up breaking while fighting against the zipper.”
“What do you think was the reason?”
“Well, I was already sealed back then, so I don’t know the exact aspect or details of the Sword Demon War. I only heard a few big trends. However, if I were to make an inference based on the Temar I saw… he had a bad head.”
“You are insulting someone else’s ancestors.”
“When we first saw Brother Jin, our brothers thought he might be the reincarnation of Temar. I thought there were a lot of similarities. But now that I think about it again, Temar was more like you than Brother Jin.”
“Didn’t you just say that the first head of the family had bad hair?”
“Do you think you are smart?”
“This is the first question I’ve ever heard.”
“Being smart means being rational. But your life is far from reason. At some point, you must have realized the fate imposed upon you, and that is why you dedicated your entire life here to the Black Sea. “It is not reason, but rather an act close to instinct.”
Siron silently waited for Ban’s next words. Ozdoc decided not to be surprised by Ban’s ease with Siron.
“Actually, even now that I’ve overcome the devil, it’s not much different. “You are still faithful to your destiny, and it is not a matter of deciding by reason or will.”
Although we met for the first time today, Ban understood Siron’s life better than anyone else.
Because she was like him too. What is a life that is faithful only to a fate that cannot be decided by reason or will? The result was a war with the gods.
“You are living a life destined from birth, as those like the Sun God and the Jeokmyeong tribe claim. So did I… and Temar. But I feel that Brother Jin is different.”
Siron was lost in thought for a moment.
“I doubt it.”
“Yes, I doubt it. That’s the difference between Brother Jin and us. “Neither I nor you Temar have ever doubted our destiny and our choices.”
Van had a destiny to conquer the world, Temar had a destiny to fight against Ziffle, and Siron had a destiny to conquer the Black Sea. And they moved forward without a single doubt.
On the other hand, in Jin’s case, there were countless moments when he doubted himself. Because as a regressor, each and every choice I made changed the world.
Either good or bad. All of that had to be Jin’s responsibility.
“As a result, me and Temar failed. Still, thanks to meeting a savior called Brother Jin, I was able to begin a new destiny and Temar’s will was inherited. “I hope you don’t have to rely on Brother Jin like me or Temar.”
“I think so.”
“Hehe, if you really fulfill your destiny alone, then you will be able to say that you have defeated me once again. There is no such honor in being able to win against me twice.”
“Until then, take care of yourself properly. “I will have to break you when you are most perfect.”
“This is truly brother Jin’s fatherly spirit.”
I had already passed through two portals. If Siron went back the same way he came, he only had to cross one more door and the portal to the Sun God Church would appear.
“Was there anything additional to say about the Black Sea to the royalties?”
“Not yet. “If there had been, I would have brought back some of the expedition members and told them like last time.”
Ban’s eyes landed on the barisada hanging on Siron’s waist.
“I wonder what the space is that requires that sword as a key.”
“I’m sure it’s a space related to Mr. Solderet. “I was able to find out in the first place thanks to the records left behind by Mr. Solderet.”
“Solderet, he is a god who is difficult to understand. Our Pluto clan escaped destruction thanks to Solderet. He had planned many things for Jin a long time ago. A thousand years ago, Jin was already selected as the last contractee. “If that key tells you a secret about him, please tell me.”
“I understand.”
Afterwards, the two people shared their stories like friends who had not seen each other in a long time. Behind them, the fighting kings and Ozdoc, who had already become friends, were giggling.
[Are you saying that Jet is really similar to me? I’m looking forward to it. When I get back, I will try to determine who is the best subordinate in this industry.]
“This guy is superior and inferior in all the strangest ways.”
“But you said you once pushed Brother Jin and Mary into a pair. Does that mean you don’t have any intentions? Ozdock.”
[It’s also important to figure out what you’re good at. In that sense, Jet and I both went from not knowing ourselves very well to meeting our master well. Do you know, Ming Dynasty? This world is wide and there are countless strong people. However, it is very rare to find a demon like me who is good at work and takes care of the elders well.]
“Anyway, cheer up, Ozdock!”
[I understand, baba!]
I crossed the last portal.
Then, the entrance to the Five Kings’ realm was revealed, and nearby was another portal to the Sun God religion that Siron had mentioned.
That portal contained a particularly stronger spirit energy than the ones used just now. As Siron said, the spirit of Nirgand that remained nearby stuck to him like resentment and prevented the portal from closing.
Of course, the party cannot be sure whether the Sun God Church’s hideout will appear immediately after crossing the portal. Perhaps a trap could have appeared.
However, Ban and the Ming Dynasty did not care at all. I thought it would be enough to just destroy whatever came out. They have that much power. There was even no reason to hesitate if it was a portal that had the potential to catch the Sun Goddess right after Nirgand.
“It was a pleasure meeting you, Siron Runkandel.”
“Me too, Tusin.”
The two people shook hands and smiled.
“When all the fighting is over, let’s have a big drink. “Not with poorly polished pauldrons, but with a proper glass.”
“Okay. But the pauldrons I used as glasses were actually relatively clean. “He somehow just used it without cleaning it any further.”
The reason why Ban didn’t clean his pauldrons more was because he didn’t want to show Shiron that he was ‘tidy.’ If I did that, I would have felt like I lost. In fact, the Ming Dynasty is a race that is very sensitive to hygiene.
“…For some reason, it seemed like that, and I got a kick out of it. “I’d like to say hello.”
“Please come in.”
“Take care! Ozdock.”
[Come on in. Let’s always stay bright and cheerful! Moreover, you are not living in a land as dense as the Black Sea, but in royal land. Hehehe.] Soon, the
Ming Dynasty disappeared into the portal. Siron looked at the spot where they had disappeared for a moment, then burst into laughter and walked away.
And the Sun God believers on the other side of the portal were frightened and took a step back when they saw the Ming Dynasty who came out of nowhere.
“What!”
“High Priest, tell the High Priest!”
Ban looked down at them and said:
“Brothers. “Close all passages in this space, including the portal we just used.”
