Chapter 543,
Chapter 145. Sign (12)
It is obviously hurting your pride to be penetrated by a young man with a weak condition who is far behind in terms of position and age and experience.
However, Kelliac did not reveal the scars on his pride, erasing his smile and revealing only honest hatred.
That deep, terrible hatred is like a swamp, and Jin felt his body feel heavy just from facing it.
And the intentional display of hatred was proof that Kelliac was acknowledging Jin.
‘It’s a sense of intimidation worthy of the absolute leader of Zipple.’
Hatred.
In retrospect, Kelliac has no reason not to hate Jean.
Beginning with killing Ziffle followers when leaving Stormcastle, impersonating in Tessing and learning the magic of Chenmi, where they erased history. Murdering Andrei and destroying the demon stone. Massacre of Colon natives. Takeover Seongguk Incident Battle of the West Sea Graves of Temar Murder of the Wraith Eliminate Barton Wantaramo Forest Gaipa Archipelago Sota Desert and even now.
Everything that Jin has done since returning is history that has blocked the path of Kelliac and Zipple without missing a single one.
Killing Kiddard Hall and monopolizing his magic also dealt an indirect blow to Ziffle, and Valeria Hister, whom Ziffle longs for, although not yet aware of Kelliac, is only related to Jean.
Even Veradin resisted mental manipulation under the influence of Jin, and Jin denied the humiliating pact that Runcandel made with Ziple through the Declaration of Demonic Sword Return.
There was not a single reason not to hate Jin as a Zipline.
‘This hatred must be the reason you couldn’t reach the realm of creativity that my father did…’
Just like Jin sees Kelliac through.
He, too, was peering into Jin.
‘It is outstanding in itself. It’s been a long time since I thought that if Solderlet broke the oath with us and joined Runcandel, it would be because of Shiron or Luna… Seeing Jin Runkandel in person, I can understand why Solderlet chose you over those two.’
Kelliac even felt resentful of Chiron.
He stayed in second place over his whole life, but even his children, the next generation, are unable to surpass his legacy.
“Sometimes when I talk about you in the Tower of Stories… my relatives only knew that I was taking you lightly. It’s a little futile to see that you’re reading my hatred that even they didn’t notice.”
“Why don’t you keep more capable and deep people around you?”
The Bamal Union and the knights of the Imperial Palace all felt Jin’s answers like fire in front of oil.
I am worried that I might be provoking too much against Kelliac, who just before crippled Calmine with a single attack and showed the power to annihilate the entire Geomwang Castle within seconds.
But Jin knew.
He said that no matter what happens, he will never strike a sword until he urges negotiations once.
‘If he had intended to destroy the Geomwangseong by force without compromise and take the white stone, he would not have started a conversation in the first place. Kelliac Ziple feels burdened by an all-out war with Runcandel.’
There must have been many reasons, such as the existence of Shiron, the power of Runcandel, and the power of Kingelo.
‘Perhaps Kelliac is also aware that a chaotic monster can awaken from the white stone. no i’m sure He knows the value of the white stone better than any of us. That’s why I want to have it.’
Therefore, Kelliac would want to end the situation through negotiations with the Imperial Palace (actually Runkandel) without armed conflict as much as possible.
In fact, just by Kelliac pulling out the ‘negotiation’ plaque, Zipple’s external prestige was to fall to the ground. Even if the world’s number one family loses that much of their family’s dragons and wizard fleet, it shouldn’t have been possible for them to prioritize negotiations over fights.
‘Above all, I can’t see the figure of the fire dragon, Kadun.’
Fire Dragon Kadun.
The most powerful fire dragon created by Shinu, the god of fire. Jin was conscious of not seeing Kadun’s appearance from earlier.
Of course, Kadun could be aboard the fleet while transformed into a human. However, Jin judged that the possibility was very low.
‘It’s strange to place the strongest fire dragon in an invisible place in a yard that shows off the power of fire by wrapping the entire fleet with tremendous flame magic and spraying firearms all over the Geomhwangseong while pretending not to know it.’
Among the fleet of about fifty ships led by Keliac were Ziffle’s dragons. There is no reason why Kadun shouldn’t show off his majesty at the center.
However, it was difficult for Jin to infer the ‘reason why Kelliac did not bring Kadun’.
‘Because without Kadun, there will be problems with Ziple’s air defense? No, even if negotiations are prioritized, it would not mean that an all-out war was not assumed at all, so that is not a reason. If so…’
Suddenly, Jin thought of another friend’s name.
‘Did Beradin do something to prevent Kadun from being included in the fleet…?’
It was correct.
Beradin was currently forced to run wild and created a situation where he had to be protected by Kadun.
Because of this, Kelliac had no choice. If Beradin is over, all the plans that Ziple has prepared so far can go to waste.
Jin doesn’t know that, but he has a strong feeling that Kadun’s absence is the result of his friend’s sacrifice.
“You’re conscious of Kadun’s absence.”
At those words, Jin almost showed a surprised expression.
“Kyung heard that you can use the perfect flame only with the power of that fire dragon.”
“It is only the phoenix, not the guardian dragon, that makes a fire wizard perfect.”
Phi-!
Suddenly, a phoenix appeared behind Kelliac. A phoenix with a reputation for being the strongest along with Tess Maniere Saint Quiche.
It was ‘Bello’.
Indeed, it was the summoning of someone who reached the pinnacle of magic. Belot cast a dark shadow on the Geomwangseong with his huge and blazing body, larger than any document recorded.
It was literally full of fire.
The Barmal Alliance and the Geomhwangseong were at the point where they wondered if the target they had to fight against was not Ziffle, but Shinu himself, the god of fire.
A bigger fire than the legacy of Liol Ziple, which Jin showed through the mirror and the will of the two gods, was dyeing their vision red.
But Jin was not discouraged.
“Somehow, if it’s a wonder… I think you know what my phoenix is like.”
“He is the sole god of the flame world and the owner of all the phoenixes. But you still can’t handle his power properly.”
That was the point where Kelliac acknowledged Jin in front of everyone. It was because the expression ‘still’ implied the possibility of the future.
“If you really think so, try blowing up my head right now. I wonder if the power bestowed by Shinu, the god of honor, can pierce the absolute realm of Tess.”
“As I heard, you have a very thick face. How dare you make such a visible bluff against me. Courage worthy of praise.”
Kelliac was finding out that Jin couldn’t summon Tess at this time.
Jin got goose bumps and the fact that he was accurately aware of that fact. We didn’t say that to each other, but it was an area where we could know instinctively.
“Sir Kelliac is more cautious than I’ve heard. Seeing that he didn’t use Space Blast on me because of the one chance he could summon Tess.”
“It’s not just because of you that I won’t explode your head.”
Kelliac smiled again.
Now, in that smile, not only hatred but also composure were imbued.
“Jean Runkandel.”
“Tell me.”
“I heard that you were generous enough not to catch fleeing enemies. Let me also show the same mercy. Hailan, immediately leave the white stone alone and leave the Geomwangseong. That way no one will die.”
Roaring!
A small spark formed on Kelliac’s finger. He wrote in the air with flame, which was a ‘fire seal’ that only Shinu’s contractors could handle.
In addition, Ziffle swears that he will rescue Dante Highlan, who has been encroached on by the white stone, through all the efforts the family can mobilize, and will surely send him back to Highlan once he comes back to life.
Everyone in the Geomhwangseong looked at the red glowing letters.
“Along with this, if you accept my conditions, Ziffle will do everything in his power to destroy the imperial family that betrayed Hiran.”
Without even having time to ponder how Kelliac knew Dante’s condition, the knights of Hyran couldn’t help but be agitated for the first time since the incident began.
The promise to destroy the empire didn’t matter too much.
However, if there was anything more precious than the pride he had given up to protect from the knights of Hiran, it was Sogaju’s life.
Using the seal of fire meant that Keliac was swearing by his god, Shnu. Kelliac’s condition is unquestionably sincere.
“Zipple knows how to save Dante Hiran. We cannot guarantee that you will be saved, but we can guarantee a success rate of at least 80%.”
Jin immediately opened his mouth to the knights of Hiran.
“It is a trap. Surely there is no lie in Lord Kelliac’s oath…”
The moment Hiran accepts the condition, Hiran will be destroyed by Runcandel, not Zifle. Lord Kelliac left out the word that he would protect Hyran from Runkandel.
The words behind it didn’t come off.
It was natural for Runcandel to hit Hiran, who agreed to the terms of Zipple.
If that happens, Runkandel will have to watch Ziffle get the white stone without getting anything.
Rosa can’t just leave it alone. She was a person who would not back down even if the entire land of Geomwangseong and Hiran was reduced to ashes.
And what Jin is blocking Rosa like that.
It soon becomes a betrayal towards Runcandel.
‘You nailed it properly… Kellyac Ziple.’
Objectively, Jin and Runkandel could not offer a better condition to Hiran.
Runcandel has no way to save Dante’s life, and out of Runcandel, only Jin cherishes Dante’s life.
Runkandel is enough if Hyran disappears into history or prevents the white stone from falling over to Ziple.
Jin gritted his teeth, and Kelliac was sure of victory with a calm face.
Kelliac’s gaze reached Luyan.
“Now let’s give Hi-Lan a chance to talk with me. How is it? Ruyan. There is no better condition than this in Geomwangseong.”
Ruyan looked up at Kelliac in silence for a while.
“Hilan… and the knights who gathered for Hilan…”
Eventually, the moment Ruyan was about to continue talking behind his back.
I refuse, Kellyac Ziple.
The voice of a giant whom everyone in this land knew well and who longed to fight together …. The
voice of a giant resounded in the sky quietly, yet somberly and deeply.
Everyone turned to the owner of the voice who had just climbed the wall.
“Who dares to save Hi-Lan and my grandson on my behalf? It is only allowed to me.”
Darkness there.
Lon Hylan stood tall.
