Chapter 545 Chapter
145. While the knights of Omen (14)
left, Ziffle’s fleet distanced itself from Geomwangseong.
As Amela predicted, the guns of the Zipple fleet, including Kojek, had a far superior range than the defense equipment of the Geomhwangseong Fortress, so there was no reason not to widen the distance.
Without Ron, of course, I would have been able to put an end to the Darkness Castle in an instant without thinking about efficiency, but now the story is different.
While the knights of Hyran were leaving, the fleet also got a chance to get out of Ron’s range even a little bit.
Except for Shiron, Ziple had never fought against an enemy stronger than Ron.
Most wizards aboard the fleet did not experience Shiron directly.
All the dragons did not meet Shiron, but they were recalling nightmares from Ron.
It reminds me of Murakan in his heyday.
To the dragons, there was no existence more fearful than Murakan in his heyday.
The problem was that the terribly powerful black dragon was also standing next to Ron with both eyes wide open.
Of course, Murakan hadn’t regained all his former strength yet, but the dragons who didn’t know that fact feared Murakan more than Ron.
The wind dragon ‘Salion’ settled down next to Kelliac. He was the one who had recently become the guardian dragon of Octavia when she became Melzaire’s new contractor.
“It’s like seeing Murakan with a teenage knight from old Runkandel… huh?”
Salion, who had been talking that far, tilted his head as if something was strange.
It was because he felt suspicious of himself for using the word ‘teenager’.
The other dragons who heard that voice only felt that Salion had mistaken the Dark Knight for the name of the Teenage Knight, but did not feel a sense of alienation otherwise.
Soon, Salion also forgot that he used the proper noun of a teenage knight.
Even if someone else brought up the name again, the dragons would not be conscious of it at all.
‘The power of the story must have weakened a little…’
Kelliac thought quietly.
‘There may be an influence of him being close to Ron Changseong, who has the power to go against the rules… but the biggest problem is probably Jin Runkandel.’
power of existence.
Kelliac was clearly aware of the power Jin possessed.
Things weren’t as good as expected. The fact that Ron arose, that he became stronger, and that the power of existence that Jin has is being expressed more greatly because of it.
All of which was beyond Kelliac’s expectations. Kellyak was deeply offended by the fact.
A feeling of displeasure that comes from a kind of intuition.
It felt like things were about to go wrong…
“Octavia.”
“Yes, my lord.”
“When the battle begins, you will directly infiltrate the castle with the True Wraiths and secure the White Stone.”
It was not too long ago that the fleet, blueprints and some machinery were lost in the Sota Desert.
If he didn’t get the white stone today, Jiple would have to go back without any gains even after fighting a soldier close to Changseong.
“Yes, I will prepare the demon stone and infiltrate it.”
In order to take the white stone that was already being unlocked, a demon stone was needed.
“It will take some time for the Demon Stone to be unlocked, so until then, I will fight alongside the family head.”
“No, I use the demon stone myself. You wait inside the castle while taking measures so that the aftermath of the battle does not become a problem for the white stone.”
“You are concerned about the possibility of Runkandel uniting with Hyran.”
Ron woke up in a new realm, so there was a possibility that Runkandel would join Hiran from the beginning, just as Octavia had said.
But Kelliac thought it was unlikely that Rosa would make such a judgment. As for Runcandel, Ron appeared, so I got a chance to observe more.
“No, the demon stone is necessary even if it is assumed that it is only against Lon Hilan. The current Ron… except for Chiron, no one will be able to defeat it.”
Octavia flinched and opened her eyes wide.
She too had seen Ron’s transcendent inaction, but not as fully as Keliac had.
Only those who stand on a similar line can know for sure. All of Ziffle’s wizards, including Octavia, were at a significantly lower level than Ron.
‘I didn’t know that not being able to bring Hedo and Kadun would lead to such a painful situation. I didn’t want to reveal the power of the Demon Stone unless it was time to deal with Runcandel.’
-Kyung heard that you can use the perfect flame only with the power of the fire dragon.
It reminded me of Jin’s provocation earlier. It is now impossible to deny that.
‘You’re already losing face. I know how the lower ones who have dealt with Jin Runkandel feel.’
Octavia nodded.
“…All right. Be careful, lord.”
“It won’t be easy for you to infiltrate too carefully.”
The wraiths were gathering towards Octavia. Those thirty gray robes were real men on a different level from the resurrected ones.
Keliac knew what they were worried about without seeing every face of the dragons that intermingled between the fleet.
“Murakan has not regained the inaction of a thousand years ago. If you found it, there’s no way the first round would have ended like that in the first place, so don’t let the dragons make a mistake being possessed by the specter.”
No sooner had Kelliac finished speaking than a new, deeper fear filled the eyes of the dragons.
It wasn’t because he was more fearful than the old Murakan.
Hiii ….
Wherever the fleet somewhere, the sound of the wind rang.
It sounded like the breathing of some monster. As soon as the sound began, Ziffle’s dragons trembled and bristled their scales.
It was the sound of the demon stone starting to open.
The replica that reproduced the ‘Source Stone’ had the power to suppress the dragon with instinctive fear, just as Quikantel first experienced when fighting Andrei in the past.
The Demon Stone is still unfinished, but it is in a state of incomparable precision. The fear the dragons felt was amplified that much.
“Kuh…!”
“Quikantel!”
Even Quikantel, who was far away from the Demon Stone, stumbled as if toppling over. As Murakan helped her, she let out a rough, unsteady breath.
“Zipple guys brought the Demon Stone… Shit, I can’t get enough of my body.”
“Don’t talk, take a deep breath. This little guy can’t participate in battle. In this state, I can’t even retreat alone. Evacuate to the outside of the demon stone area and come back.”
Quikantel didn’t even bother to fight together. It was frustrating, but he admitted that he would only become a burden at this rate.
Among the currently active dragons, the number of beings capable of resisting the energy of the Demon Stone could be counted on one hand. Among them, only Murakan and Misha were completely immune.
[If Quikantel is this good, most of the dragons over there should have already bubbled up and crashed… That’s that shiny thing. is it a necklace? That seems to be blocking the energy of the Demon Stone to some extent.]
Murakan transformed into his true form and said, raising Quikantel on his back. All the dragons in Zipple were wearing something shiny around their necks.
[It’s more like shackles than a necklace. It looks pretty unstable… Ron must be afraid they’re afraid of you. Seeing that he took out the Demon Stone while taking damage from his allies. Until I return, everyone is fighting well.]
Ron felt the energy of the demon stone more deeply than the dragons. The demon stone gave off an aura similar to the chaos of the white stone that he had been fighting within while unconscious.
As Murakan flew towards the rear, most of Jiple’s dragons felt even more relieved, mistaking that he had left in fear of the demon stone’s power.
“jin.”
“Say Sir Ron.”
“There will be those who infiltrate the inner castle. Maybe Octavia will take on that role. I will cover the entire battlefield, but there will surely be gaps. You and the Barmal Alliance together with the Sword Saints stop them. Can I leave it to you?”
It was a story that was no different from Ron leaving his back soon.
“I am honored to know.”
“When the fight is over.”
Ron put his hand on Jin’s shoulder and continued his conversation.
“Let’s have a drink together with my pretty grandson.”
It was an indescribably gentle voice, as if he were talking to Dante.
Jin seemed to feel the warm affection of a being called ‘Grandpa’ that he had never experienced before. It felt like receiving an unexpected gift ahead of a fateful war.
Rashid…
Rashid came out of the scabbard.
“Kelliac! Let’s start slowly.”
Ron’s plain and low voice shook the area once again. At the same time, the flames surrounding Ziffle’s fleet grew thicker and the phoenix Bellot let out a roar.
The war has begun again.
The first attack was the responsibility of Geomhwangseong.
Ron bellowed his sword towards the center of the fleet at a not-so-fast pace.
However, the trajectory that even ordinary people could easily read contained the state of transcendence he had attained.
His intangible sword began attacking the fleet before the action was finished.
The unseen sword energy continued to frantically gnaw through the curtain of fire that Keliac and Bellot had opened.
And that wasn’t all.
The intangible swords that passed through the curtain of fire soon became a typhoon and completely covered the entire area of Jiple’s fleet and Geomhwangseong.
A protective shield for allies, and a slashing wind of a terrible sword that tears flesh and bone to enemies.
Ron completely made the battlefield into his territory with a single blow. Ron’s words of ‘covering the entire battlefield’ were not just expressions.
From the start, Belot was tired of those ignorant intangible sword skills, and Keliac was wielding the Hroti with his eyes wide open.
Octavia couldn’t penetrate Ron’s territory, so it seemed like he couldn’t even start infiltrating.
Kelliac forced a path through it by constantly sending space explosions to it, but it wasn’t easy to squeeze yourself through the unstable gap.
As the real-ass Wraiths tried to make room by spreading the Red Abyss, Kelliac began to chant another legacy of Liole Ziple.
“Ruyan!”
But Ron wasn’t the only one on the battlefield. There is a reason why Ron of the Five Swordsmen of Hiran left them until the end.
The Sword Saints were able to display their greatest strength only when Ron was present.
“The use of the Supreme Sword is permitted. Show the enemy the power of the Hiran swordsman.”
