Chapter 145. Omen (11)
Meanwhile, Talaris was looking down at Ron from the deepest part of the cell.
Ron’s breathing was so feeble that even Talaris had to pay close attention. It was weaker than the day she first came.
Geomhwang’s strong body was so thin that even clothes and blankets couldn’t cover it, and the thick smell of death permeated the air.
“theory.”
Talaris sat down on the bed and carefully grabbed Ron’s withered hand.
“The grandson you love so much, his friends, and your knights are all fighting for Hilan. Are you sure it won’t happen?”
The only two people Thalaris could call friends.
Shiron Runkandel and Ron Hiran. Thalaris shook her head, recalling their past.
“Ah, you pathetic people. Why do you guys only disappoint me the stronger you get?”
The fact that Kelliac Ziple might come in person was, of course, already predicted by many, but when they faced its majesty in person, people felt a sense of suffocation.
The entire fleet is shrouded in the magic of flames. The leading flagship, Ko-Jek, was also far enough to be seen with a single finger.
Still, everyone in Geomwangseong felt that they were facing Kelliac one step ahead.
Overwhelming presence The fleet led by the head of the world’s foremost family was slowly approaching Geomwangseong.
Among the knights of the Geomwangseong, not a single one was afraid of death.
But no one thought that they could fight them and win. It seemed that even an accident or miracle could not happen.
Morale did not go down.
I was just a little worried. Even if I don’t win, I feel that it might end without even a single meaningful counterattack.
“Finally, I’m going to take a look at the top of the current generation Zipline Gazoo.”
Murakan said in a low voice.
This was the first time I had seen Jindo Kelliac Ziple in person. In both the past life and the present life, I had only seen him through newsletters and family data.
“A giant among giants. I wonder what the real thing will be like.”
Fortunately, Jiple’s main force did not attack Geomwangseong at the same time as it appeared. The problem that Amela feared did not happen.
The current Ko-Jek was able to unleash a power that was different from what Jin had experienced so far.
“Sir Luyan.”
“Tell me, Sir Jin.”
“Runkandel must have finished preparing for an all-out war.”
“I guessed so. If Zipple is such a coveted thing, even Runkandel won’t be able to sit still. If Runkandel steps in, some of Hyran will be able to survive, but…” “
Not all of them. I will save the whole thing.”
“I know you are sincere and capable of it. But we never run away from sogaju.”
“It is the same for me too, Sir Luyan. However, I would like to receive one promise from you.”
“promise?”
“The seal of chaos that imprisoned Dante occurred because he was resisting chaos.”
Jin informed Ruyan that Talaris was here.
It was because she had previously allowed Ruyan to tell him more about the secret palace’s mission and the dangers of chaos. Talaris allowed it out of consideration for Jin, not Ruyan.
For a while, Jin explained the stories about him, and Lu Yan listened.
“…If Sogaju can’t overcome the power of the white stone, a monster that even the queen can’t do anything about alone will wake up?”
“That’s right.”
“Then, how does the cow give… ah?”
Why are you telling me this story now? Ruyan didn’t argue that way.
The reason why the queen of the secret palace took care of the circumstances even while informing the outsiders of the mission of the secret palace was because she knew that Jin was the virtue at the center of this case. Also, even if Jin informed them in advance, the situation did not change.
“…If that happens, please promise me that you will retreat all the remaining knights of Highlan.”
When Dante died, Chaos awoke, and the Sword Emperor’s Temple became a rotation between Jiple and Runcandel, or a chaos subjugation war, it was right for the knights of Hiran to leave.
Whether killed by the war between the two families or killed by the monsters of chaos. That’s because it’s nothing but dog death.
Even in that case, as a result, Chaos killed Dante, so you must fight and avenge the monster.
Lu Yan couldn’t bear to say that. Ruyan also understood how Jin felt about making such a promise.
Assuming Dante’s death was itself heartbreaking for Jin.
“…I will.”
Ruyan answered in a dark voice.
The fate that befell Hiran was absurd.
He risked his life to protect the pride of Dante and Hilan, but Hilan can only survive if the chaos of the white stone swallows Dante and wakes up. A miserable and terrible existence.
“In return, promise me one thing too.”
“Tell me.”
“If sogaju ever comes back… it comes back when we’re not there. Dante, help him not to become a monster.”
No one knew how things would turn out.
Ruyan was talking about when Dante alone survived and Hiran was destroyed.
At that time, Dante was asking for help so that he would not become a demon so that he would kneel down in pain, sorrow, and loss.
That’s something only friends can help.
“Dante isn’t hurt too much already. It must have been difficult to bear. Even now.”
“I will not let go of Dante, even if Dante, in his hatred, scratches me and abandons me.”
“Yes, you are that person. I just wanted to say something. There is not much that Hi-Lan can do for that child.”
Keliac’s flames now dyed the Black Emperor red, and the fleet stopped advancing. Everyone on the walls raised their heads and glared at the fleet.
An old man with long gray hair and a white robe was walking out of the crowd of wizards at the head of Ko-Jek.
It was Kellyac Ziple.
“Unfold the shield!”
The leader of the Dragon Division, Carl Mine, shouted with his eyes wide open.
It was because the heat from the flames that had already engulfed the fleet was penetrating the entire Geomwang Castle. For average knights, it was too much heat to endure.
The stones that made up the walls were red hot and vomited heat, and the air was hot enough to melt all lungs and organs.
That was something no one expected.
It wasn’t that the magic hadn’t been properly used yet, and the entire fleet wasn’t moving, and it was just Kelliac alone at the head of Cozek, and it happened.
The knights spread their shields and activated their defensive equipment. The entire Geomhwangseong was instantly covered with a blue film that seemed to block the heat.
However, the next moment, Kelliac will wield the exclusive staff of the family of Zipple, ‘Hroti’. The protective film surrounding the Geomhwangseong continued to disappear.
As if it had never been unfolded in the first place.
“I just came here to talk or share a few words with someone I’m curious about, so I don’t need to set myself up too much.”
“You talk nonsense after blowing firearms with the momentum to melt your castle.”
At Carmain’s words, Kelliac smiled softly. Like a gentle old man listening to a child scream.
“Ah, it’s been a while since I’ve been on the battlefield, so I didn’t pay attention to that. Don’t let me clean it up.”
As soon as the words were finished, the heat disappeared like a lie. The magic of the flames still blazed around the fleet, so Kelliac’s power definitely reached the realm of authority beyond magic.
“And, out of desperation, do not interrupt my conversation any further. If I put my mind to it, I can annihilate you in seconds. Be considerate of me as much as I have been considerate of you.”
“Keliac…! How far are you going to destroy us!”
The one who shouted that was Golo, the commander standing on the left side of the wall. During the first war, non-combatants and civilians were evacuated.
He didn’t shout with any intention.
It was just that he unconsciously used evil to resist the intimidation and fear that entangled his whole body.
“Your words are dark.”
The warriors who reached the state could now know what would happen. But there was no means to stop it, and no time to warn of the danger.
Also, their intuition is wrong.
Perk
Space Blast.
The magic of Kellyac Ziple unfolded.
But the target was not Golo. Everyone thought that Golo would explode and die, but what Kelliac’s magic harmed was Calmaine Aita.
An explosion erupted from Karmaine’s shoulder.
The explosion completely took away Karmaine’s right arm. The right arm, torn and bounced by the explosion, was scattered without a trace in the ensuing space explosion. Only the empty sound of the sword he was holding fell to the stone floor remained.
“Cheuk…!”
“Captain!”
“Carmine!”
The dragon knights and the swordsmen shouted at the same time and tried to approach Calmine. Kelliac restrained their movement, detonating a cosmic blast right in front of their faces. It seems to be the last warning.
And he even said:
“Consideration ends here.”
Most of the people in Geomwangseong were born and could not remember hearing a voice more horrifying than that.
A frighteningly sudden silence came. Kelliac waited for about five seconds and made sure no one was moving before making eye contact with Jean. With an indescribably benevolent smile.
‘Jin Runkandel.’
‘Kelliac Zipple.’
Kelliac’s majesty in his eyes made Jin’s blood cool and his bones ache. He had an aura of feeling that was completely different from the transcendent characters Jin had experienced so far.
Soft yet strong, dull yet sharp, light yet heavy, gentle yet evil.
That’s how Jin defined the feeling of the character Kelliac Ziple.
‘I think I know why people who have seen Kelliac in person liken him to a god.’
In short, he was an indescribably shocking figure.
‘But I can understand why Kelliac is number two.’
With a glimpse of Kelliac’s divine yet mysterious atmosphere and an emotion hidden in that smile, Jin understood why he was standing behind Shiron.
That’s why Jin also smiled at him.
“You hate me, Sir Kellyac Ziple.”
If the person in front of him had been Shiron instead of Kelliac, Jin would never have been able to read his feelings.
In the first place, his father was in a position where he would not even harbor the extremely human emotion of hatred toward the likes of himself. No matter how he provoked him, his father would never have any more feelings than anger.
Even if he was born as a zippo and killed everyone in Runcandel.
“Did it come out?”
Kelliac asked in a calm voice.
“To the extent that I can feel the divine power Ye-kyung showed me just now.”
Jin smiled as he replied.
