Chapter 539 Chapter
145. Omen (8)
* * *
The emperor’s army was about 20,000, and about 2,000 casualties occurred in the Geomhwangseong.
The 20,000 casualties of the emperor’s army consisted of all knights and magicians, not ordinary soldiers.
Many pivotal figures, including Imperial sword John Cena Ferrell, were also killed, and more than 90% of spears and war equipment were captured or destroyed.
Most of the casualties in Geomwangseong were Highlan and ordinary knights who gathered for Hiran.
People like Shuras were injured, but key figures in the Barmal Alliance and Hyran suffered little damage. It was difficult to find fatal injuries among those above the level of commander.
The overall death rate was 30% and 10%, respectively, so the first match was truly an overwhelming victory for the Sword Emperor.
However, both sides suffered devastating damage.
The emperor lost too many talents to purges without justification. The prestige of the empire would not be the same as before, and neither was the imperial authority.
It wouldn’t be strange if a new rebellion started around the Hensuck family or the Lilith family.
Or they could have gathered around Hailan.
The cause of the empire and the human heart all pointed to High Iran. Unlike the emperor who forgot his honor, Hai Lan kept his promise against his rampant behavior.
A promise not to kill those who flee. Jean and Dante and their people all practiced those words.
Even those who had attacked Hailan until yesterday had a desire to stand on Hailan’s side if they could.
However, Hensuck and Lilitha also suffered significant damage, and the fact that there was a jiple behind the emperor was known to all, so that did not happen. There was no way that Hiran would accept those who had pointed their swords until just before.
Above all.
The war is not over yet. The fact that Jiple’s new fleet is heading to Geomwangseong is now known to everyone in the world, not just the battlefield. The flight of the fleet is being captured everywhere.
Unlike Runkandel, the Barmal Alliance and Highlan did not know about the change in the 1st Magic Tower.
However, looking at the size of the confirmed fleet, it was not difficult to infer the fact that at least Octavia Zipline, or perhaps Kelliac, might come.
As Rosa said, it was best to abandon the imperial castle and retreat. However, as she expected, Jin did not leave.
it was not possible
“Dante…”
Dante Hiran.
He was currently trapped in a seal presumably due to the influence of the white stone, and was in a state where no communication was possible.
It was a black seal like an aura.
The black power forming the seal was the taekgi of chaos that Jin had experienced many times. The purity is higher than any takgi that Jin has experienced so far.
Jin was looking at the figure of his friend in the seal unfolding in a semicircle in the middle of the battle.
‘Sir Amela’s arrogance is incomparable, and it is darker than the chaos shown by Yona.’
I feel like it wouldn’t be unreasonable to say that it’s not tak-gi, but spirit-gi.
Jin always cut through this kind of seal with ease with the power of his aura and blue flower, but this time, no matter what he did, it was of no use.
The healing priests of the Holy Kingdom stood next to Jin and showed an apologetic look.
“I’m sorry, Jin. After the first round of healing, while I was away for a while taking care of the other injured…” “
Don’t say that. If the priests weren’t there, he might have died. And this seal has nothing to do with priests. It is the Bamal Alliance and the Geomwangseong that we should be sorry and thankful for.”
“…From the beginning of his healing, he showed strangely great resilience.”
After saving Dante from John Cena Ferrell, he told him to rest until he could fight again.
In fact, Jin did not think that Dante would be able to participate in this war again.
Dante’s fragile body, like punishment, had already passed its limits several times.
It seemed that it would take at least three months to recover enough to be able to walk properly for three days or more.
However, Dante recovered enough to leave the healers in just a few hours after the healing began.
It was the power of the white stone.
Then, like a possessed person, Dante searched for the deepest part of his introspection. I followed the voice of the white stone to the place where my grandfather was lying unconscious.
And as soon as he took out the white stone his grandfather had been holding and returned to Daejeon, it was sealed.
“…Priests, please continue to take care of the wounded. The Barmal Union and Geomwangseong will not forget the grace of the Holy Kingdom.”
“If it weren’t for Kyung, we wouldn’t have been able to fulfill our mission as priests after the Seongguk Incident. Please, I sincerely pray to Ayula that you will not get hurt.”
As the priests retreated, Murakan and Quikantel entered the battle.
“How are the knights?”
“Somehow, everyone is in the mood that they will never leave Dante. That fucking white stone is holding my ankle all the way. Neither I nor Quikantel have ever seen such a seal.”
Dante, hidden by the seal of the takgi, was seen dimly, but the white stone spread a gloomy light in its midst. It looked like Dante’s heart.
“Few humans are disturbed by the fact that the White Stone actually exists.”
“It’s no use saying you can’t use the same power again. It’s not that I don’t understand, but staying still like this is just suicidal…”
After Jin manifested the will of Solderlet and Klam, the mirror lost its power.
Every time Jin injected aura, the function was returning little by little, but it was too slow. It could not be used again in war.
I could understand the hearts of the Jindo knights.
Right now, leaving Dante as it is, he doesn’t have the confidence to leave.
Booong-!
I heard Mort’s cry from behind.
Talaris only moved Jin and his party to Mot, but had not yet officially participated in the Geomwang Crusade.
In the first place, she came here to fulfill her mission not as Jin’s reinforcements, but as the secret wife, so she did not appear to anyone except Jin and her colleagues.
Jin’s heart tightened as soon as she appeared.
It was because there was no answer if Dante said that he tried to use the white stone and that he would fulfill his mission as the lord of the palace.
It is because Dante now looks as if he was sealed for trying to use the white stone.
“Dante, Mr. Thalaris…”
“I know what you are worried about, son-in-law.”
Talaris knew what the seals the white stones were made of. It remains in the records of the secret palace.
“This is the barrier that comes from rejecting chaos. Your friend Ron’s grandson is fighting chaos inside himself right now. So there is no reason for me to fulfill my mission yet.”
I felt relieved, but the expression ‘not yet’ bothered me.
‘The barrier created by rejecting chaos… If Dante loses the fight against chaos and uses that power, Talaris-nim will not help the Geomwangseong.’
Bigung presumes that the white stone is Heluram’s object.
And Helluram was a disaster itself. In any era, in any space, the witch’s power brought great disaster to mankind the moment it was manifested. Always without missing a single turn.
“son-in-law.”
“Yes, Mr Thalaris.”
“In my opinion, this war may not be just a war between the Empire and the Imperial Palace, and between Zipple and Runcandel.”
A problem for humanity as a whole.
Talaris was accepting the white stone that way.
Whii-yi…!
Full ice formed in Thalaris’ grasp. At the same time, he condensed tremendous energy into the blade of ice and threw it at the seal.
However, even with her blow, not even a small crack appeared in the white stone seal.
Rather, it looked like Talaris was jumping back and breathing.
“…It is a seal that can withstand even the absolute power of ice. Do you know what this means?”
It means that there is a chaos that even I cannot handle.
Talaris went on.
“Hey, Mistress. That much?”
“It’s not an exaggeration, Black Dragon oppa. I can’t figure out which of these or the other dangers that our Secret Palace is holding back will be more of a problem for the world…”
Elona Ziple.
Most of Talaris and Manbing’s powers are always used to keep Elona Ziple’s seal.
She was contemplating whether to block the white stone even if Elona’s seal was partially damaged.
“I guessed that it would be a considerable thing, seeing as Ziple is impatient, but I didn’t expect it to be this much.”
“Dante… can you come back?”
“If I told you I couldn’t come back, would you leave him behind?”
Talaris saw similar cases in secret records. Even in that record, humans exposed to chaos became monsters.
Jin was also aware of the existence of a monster engulfed in chaos called Smarion Proch.
Dante may have already crossed the river of no return.
“It’s not like that.”
“I guess we can only hope that Dante will endure the acquired chaos as well as your father and youngest sister. In a way… maybe it’s a relief that Ziple’s main force is on its way and Runkandel is waiting nearby. If the Chaos of the White Stone awakens, they have no choice but to fight it, whether they like it or not. If it’s not them and us, no one can stop it anyway.”
Great powers are fighting for supremacy in the world.
So, it was only natural that when an incident that could destroy the entire world occurred, as it did in the case of the defense of the kingdom, it was natural to solve it first.
“It will be the same for you and your colleagues. The best thing is that chaos doesn’t wake up until the end. Then the situation will end with a war or negotiations between the great powers.”
That moment.
The white stone inside the seal began to emit a more gloomy light. The shape of the light looked like a human mouth laughing at someone.
“…Honestly, I don’t think that’s very likely. The situation is not good in many ways.”
If war or negotiations continue without chaos waking up, Highlan will perish in one way or another.
Conversely, the same was true when chaos awoke. Even if everyone on the battlefield fought against the chaos, Hyran could not avoid destruction.
In that case, it would be Dante who awakened the chaos.
“Whoa, first I’ll go check out Ron. If even that human wakes up, I’m sure there will be a bit of hope in the Darkness.”
Talaris opened the dimensional gate and looked at Dante beyond the seal that had gone into the inner world.
Thus, the two could only hope earnestly for their friends to wake up.
