Chapter 404,
Chapter 119. The red jade taken from the bosom of the banquet (9) in the Imperial Palace
shone.
[Myaaah!]
As Jin climbed onto Shuri’s back, Ron opened the way.
Chuhaaaa-!
Ron’s huge sword skill swept past the monsters in front at once. Blood and flesh splashed like a fountain, and Shuri ran through them.
Murakan, who saw this, descended in an instant and transformed into a human. It looked like a black wind rushing toward Jin.
“Where are you going kid?”
“We need to find Beradin.”
“Why?”
“Kingelo is a terrorist force. Their purpose is the hostile relationship between Hiran and Ziple.”
Murakan tilted his head once, then showed an understanding look in his eyes.
“Um, I guess.”
“Did you see Beradin from above?”
“I don’t think there was.”
“Go upstairs and check. If you see it, let me know right away, and if you can’t see it, you keep taking control of the sky.”
“Are you going to go find him alone? I knew another monster would come out.”
“Since you can’t leave evidence, there won’t be anyone like Berakt. If you find yourself in a situation that is too difficult for you to handle alone, I will send you a signal.”
“I get it.”
Murakan returned to his true form and soared into the sky.
After watching for a while, there was no other signal from Murakan. Veradin had already left the battlefield.
‘There were terrorist forces inside the audience. Beradin moved to avoid them.’
Who were the people sitting near Beradin?
The masked royals were the closest. As Beradin is the next head of Ziffle, of course he can stand shoulder to shoulder with the royal family in Beament.
It was most reasonable to think that Beradin was on the run from being attacked by them.
In front of the battlefield where the outer wall had been demolished, there were Jin and Rata Lon. Except for the inner passage, there was no possibility that Veradin had escaped as it was the only way out.
‘Kingelo guys took advantage of the fact that the imperial family always wears a mask.’
Shuri turned around.
He was convinced that he had to look inside the castle first, not the outer wall.
However, it was not possible to use the normal passage. The aisle was still completely saturated as unmanned people evacuated the general public.
Jin put an aura on his sword without hesitation.
Squeak-!
The thick wall was cut like a piece of paper with a sharp sword.
The warriors in the back didn’t have enough strength to stop the flocking monsters and protect the guests, and they couldn’t penetrate the road because of the pressure of damaging the Geomhwangseong.
thud!
The wall cut into squares fell over and there was a heavy noise.
“Go to the aisle!”
Jin left the words and left the central arena first.
The city was also crowded. Servants were running around like crazy, and you could see living golems coming in from the outer wall one by one.
Just as the living golem was about to attack a group of servants, Shuri leaped and swung her front paw.
When the monster’s head exploded, the servants screamed with their white faces.
“thank you…!”
“Has anyone seen Beradin?”
“Who are you talking about?”
“Beradin Zipple. He has long gray hair and is wearing a white coat.”
“I didn’t see it.”
“By the way, Sir Jin. I didn’t see Lord Beradin, but there was a stir in the pottery warehouse in the castle.”
They were warehouse management servants.
“Tell me in detail.”
“When we heard the news that the terror attack had started in the central training ground, we tried to spread it to others. But suddenly there was an explosion in the warehouse and I was dodging.”
“I don’t know, but the cause of the explosion seemed to be magic. The guards went in to check, but I haven’t heard from them since.”
As soon as I went inside, I seemed to have a clue.
“Which warehouse is it?”
“I will follow you and let you know.”
“I am not sure that I can solve the problem while protecting you. Let me draw you a schematic.”
The servant hurriedly took out paper and a pen from his bosom and drew a schematic.
“Here it is.”
“Other drones will appear soon, so don’t move and wait here.”
I followed the directions straight to the pottery warehouse.
The pottery warehouse was one of the largest warehouses in Geomhwangseong. A warehouse where more than 90% of pottery collected over a hundred years from Ron and the former head of household is stored.
The warehouse was completely destroyed from the entrance.
There were fires everywhere.
‘It’s not an ordinary fire, it’s a trace of flame-type magic. That’s more than 9 stars.’
Veradin’s main system was flame.
As they entered, shards of pottery shattered at Shuri’s steps.
And there were traces of magic other than fire.
Ground Freezing Blitz.
and darkness.
Black masses of magical energy that looked like black marbles were rolling around. I hadn’t seen much dark magic, but otherwise it was an inexplicable form.
‘The Dark Magic Society was completely destroyed, but where did Kingelo find such wizards?’
There was no way that famous wizards would have participated in the attack on Hyran. Wizards like Chukon Tolder and Susan Lilithta Kiddard Hall are already dead.
There are more unknown wizards inside Kingelo, or there are helpers.
For now, the priority was to find Veradin. It was clear that there had already been a fierce battle, so it was an urgent situation.
Only broken pottery and rubble were visible, but it seemed that the terrorists of Beradin and Kingelo had already moved elsewhere.
‘There was no sign of battle other than the entrance. There’s another passage leading inside the pottery warehouse.’
The map also showed a passage inside the pottery warehouse.
It was a long dark passage. Even after riding Shuri for a long time, the road continued.
While running, Jin stopped Shuri because he found a dead body. The three corpses were the escort warriors of Beradin that he had seen at the banquet hall.
Of course, they weren’t all of them, but it wasn’t hard to guess that Berardin was on the defensive.
As soon as I came out of the passage, I saw a drainage ditch. The passage of the pottery warehouse was one of the escape routes in preparation for emergencies.
Behind Jin’s back, he could see the dark sky stained with aura. Distant explosions and shockwaves from the battlefield signaled that the fierce battle was still going on.
which direction should i go
No footprints were visible. There were too many obstacles to figure out the path using Earth Wind magic.
As I was thinking about it, I saw a ray of red light in the distance.
The magic of Veradin, the familiar light that often appears when a fire jade explodes, was evident.
And as soon as he saw the magic, Jin had to be convinced that Beradin was already ‘injured’.
It was because the magic of Beradin, which had already reached 9 stars, had a strong sense of instability and weakness.
“Let’s go Shuri!”
[Myanyanya!]
The place where he finally confirmed the appearance of Belladin was in the plains.
Veradin, with two remaining escorts, was fighting the gray-robed wizards and the living golems they commanded.
“Beradin!”
Veradin turned his head at Jin’s voice.
“…jin!?”
Pazu means-!
The living golems that surrounded Beradin exploded due to Jin’s lightning strike.
Jin went in between them and checked Beradin’s condition.
Blood flowed from his lips and wounds were all over his body. Fortunately, there were no fatal injuries, but he was bleeding profusely, so if the battle continued, there would be nothing strange if he died.
“I knew you would come.”
Veradin said with a faint smile.
The words came with a strangely meaningful feeling.
“I know what you know, a fool who only gets beaten by those things.”
“The authors are quite strong. It makes me wonder if there was a wizard like this among people I didn’t know. At first, I thought they were really Auntie’s subordinates.”
At that moment, the question that passed Jin’s mind was this.
‘Is Beradin really intact right now?’
Even if it wasn’t perfect, the fact of saving Beradin would not change, but a strange thing suddenly came to mind.
Why didn’t Beradin send a rescue signal even once on the way here?
Since he had just participated in the banquet, he could have sent a signal as much as he could with magic even if he didn’t have a signal flare.
Even if he was unconscious from being attacked by those disguised as members of the royal family in the audience, he was still able to scream. On the side where Beradin was, there were obviously many other warriors who could help him.
‘If the mind is manipulated, this situation is deliberately staged. If Hi-Lan gets into trouble, it will benefit Zipple in many ways.’
Looking back at the traces of magic left in the pottery warehouse, there were artificial corners somewhere, as if they were left on purpose.
In particular, it bothered me that there were traces of dark magic.
It remained as evidence that Berardin struggled alone with those who used dark magic. Inside the Geomwang Castle, which is common enough to be kicked by uninhabited people.
However, Veradin, who sighed in relief after seeing Jin, was a familiar white-haired idiot.
‘I’m not sure. Just like at the banquet hall.’
Jin turned and looked at the gray robes.
The gray robes stopped attacking for a moment when Jin appeared, and although they were hidden by the hood, they seemed to be embarrassed.
“Beradin Zipple.”
“Yeah Jin.”
“Why didn’t you send a distress signal?”
“There was no time for that. I was attacked from the audience, and I was busy trying to escape.”
It was an expected answer.
And Jin concluded that Beradin’s mind wasn’t at least ‘completely’ intact.
“Jin Runkandel, the 12th Horseman of Runkandel, has come to rescue you on a special order from Sir Lon Hiran, the lord of the Sword Emperor Castle. Be sure to remember this. Got it?”
“…I get it. I owe you Lord Ron.”
“I’m taking care of myself with the escort warriors. I will deal with them.”
As Jin raised his energy, small stones in the plain began to rise into the air. The gray robes were also emitting magic again.
‘It’s definitely inferior to the Wraith.’
Still, there were four wizards at a level that could imitate the Wraith.
‘If they really planned to kill Veradin, the gray robes in Geomwangseong would have been aiming for Beradin as well. I sent just enough numbers for Beradin to fight alone and barely escape.’
If the four wizards are at a level where Beradin can fight and escape.
It was a story that Jin was no match for.
As long as you’re careful with dark magic, which is no different from Jin’s unknown territory.
“Don’t even think about going back alive.”
At the same time as Sigmund emitted light, magic swirled and gathered in Jin’s palm.
Legacy of Archmage Kidard Hall.
It was the magical power to unleash a reversal.
