Chapter 570,
Chapter 148. Swordsman (2)
Of course, Ron wasn’t mad because he was suffering from losing Dante, and he wasn’t talking as if Dante was alive without any basis.
“You mean Sir Ron Dante… is still alive?”
Ron nodded, and Jean managed to calm her flooded chest.
Her heart was beating wildly as if she had reached her limit.
Jin never once since the start of the war.
Dante did not give up. Even when the monster that devours his friend says his last will is gone, even after his sword and spear have completely disappeared from hesitating to cut himself and Ron, even when he is captured in this subspace.
Jin still believed that the existence of Dante Hiran had not completely disappeared from this world.
Exactly, I wanted to believe that, and I had to.
Thinking that Dante was completely annihilated, he had no confidence to endure this terrible fight.
In fact, deep inside, I couldn’t shake the thought that Dante was already dead.
“You can feel the energy of that child. At the end of this sub-space…”
A realization gained as soon as he faced the light of Changsung.
That is what tells him the ‘truth’ that has been hidden under the veil of chaos.
This subspace was not just created out of chaos, it was Gleec’s inner world.
And because the aftermath of the long seal had not yet gone and the black sea had not been sufficiently converted, Gleeck did not yet realize what remained in his depths.
Dante Hiran.
His will, said to have been extinguished by Gleec, still remained and resisted in a corner of its abyss.
It’s faint like an infinitely distant star, but it definitely exists. Even if it is in a state of ‘unconsciousness’.
In other words, it was Dante’s will left in Gleec’s unconscious that brought Ron into subspace with Jin.
His grandfather was the only person who could help him so that Jin would not fall into this fearful place alone, so that Jin would not disappear from this place alone without any hope.
Dante was the same as Gin Ron.
He, too, has never made a choice for himself in such a terrible struggle.
“I’m going to go rescue that child from now on.”
Ron’s voice trembled slightly.
I tremble with emotion, the certainty that Dante is out there, but not only that.
fear.
Fear that he might not be able to save Dante even after reaching the castle, fear of whether he would be able to cut Gleeek alone, fear that the hope he had barely gained might disappear like a bubble…. Those feelings were accompanied by Ron’s voice
. was being buried
It is rather an emotion that I did not feel when I was lost in mind and demonization was in progress.
The dry and cold images unique to beings that had just formed and had not yet erased their essential fear.
It also meant that Ron was desperate.
Despair, death, and demonization were all things I couldn’t do in the end. His sorrowful feelings for his grandson were making him tremble.
“You are afraid.”
Ron confided his feelings to Jean.
“So you go with this old man. Could you do that for me?”
“of course.”
“To life.”
Suddenly, Ron bowed his head to Jin.
Jin couldn’t react to the appearance, but he didn’t show any embarrassment.
“I will remember it with an honor that will never happen again.”
Ron said behind his back and turned around.
Tsuzuzuzu…!
Rashid emitted a radiance. That blade shone brighter than any sword Jin had ever seen.
The light of creation that Ron achieved had a completely different attribute from that of Shiron.
If Shiron’s creativity is equal to the essence of Paedo, then Ron’s light is the degree itself.
Therefore, unlike Shiron, his sword is not meant to break, cut, or kill.
It was a sword to preserve, protect, and save.
Hailan has shared the history of the empire and its family, and for most of that time, it has always promoted the safety of its people, not usurpation, even though it had power ahead of the empire.
Even though they decided to embrace the white stone, they have endured it alone for fear of the disaster that power will bring to the world, and have never been greedy.
The long years of guardianship that had been passed on from the previous generation were now forming on the sword symbolizing the family head of Hiran, lighting up in the darkness.
Responding to the light, the subspace vibrated even more violently. It seemed that Gleeck’s grudge and wrath would materialize at any moment and attack the two.
In fact, Gleeek planned to do so, but was blocked by the repulsive force of the brilliance extending from Rashid.
Then, as Ron gently swung his sword, the subspace earthquake stopped.
Instead, a chilling wind blew from all directions, and it was Gleek’s screams of pain.
The power of the creation that goes against fate is finally hurting him. It was the first pain Gleec felt in thousands of years.
Whoaaaaa…!
There was a sound like sand blowing in the wind.
That faint sound was quickly amplified and created an intense resonance throughout subspace and the next moment.
Jin was able to confirm that the empty darkness of subspace, which seemed to never fade, was dispersing.
A crack is forming in the subspace. Like a closed door being broken.
As Ron cut through space once more with a straight line, a new path opened up that hadn’t been seen before.
The passage opened like the jaws of a dead beast, and headed towards the abyss of Gleec.
The landscape beyond it was completely different from the subspace, which maintained a solid and stable form until it vibrated.
Great chaos, like a stormy sea, raged madly.
It was to the point where I wondered if I would really be able to cross that hellish landscape even though Changsung’s warriors were right next to me.
However, the two of them strode into the abyss without thinking for a second. Holding two swords shining like lanterns.
“If you are unable to do so, do not force yourself to fight and hide behind my back.”
“It would be nice if that didn’t happen, but I can’t get over it without relying on the Lord.”
“Isn’t it all like that? That’s why I also asked you to help me go with you.”
As soon as they stepped into the passage of the abyss, chaos as sharp as an awl stabbed the two of them.
Each one had a power that was too much for Jin to handle. Jin hid himself behind a shield called Ron whenever he felt overwhelmed.
‘It’s not just physical attacks. As before, the energy of chaos contaminating the mind continues.’
However, unlike before, Jin was not at all affected by the chaos that was trying to erode his mind.
Ron slashed the awl of chaos with his sword and was in the process of preventing his and Jin’s souls from being attacked with energy.
Only Shiron and Ron can walk this long abyss passage. Without the power of creation, the encroachment of the soul could never be prevented.
But Ron was the only one who could walk this place with someone else.
It was because the power of creation that Shiron had could not protect others from being trampled by chaos.
Like a boat tossed by a storm, the two rocked and stumbled from time to time, but were clearly moving forward.
The deeper the two approached, the more Gleeek desperately blocked their entry.
However, even though they looked like they were going to collapse, they endured several times and never once showed a look of being crushed by the crisis.
It was as if an unbreakable stone was rolling down a cliff.
Contrary to the past, now it was Gleeek who was being trampled on the inside, not them.
And he still didn’t know. Why are those hateful people risking so much to step into their abyss?
If you want to kill yourself, it’s better to go outside and join other humans than to destroy the abyss.
He still didn’t know that Dante was chained to the bottom of his abyss.
“Looks like you’re almost there…”
said Ron wearily.
The two of them were approaching the end of the aisle before they knew it.
Originally, his power should not be enough to get tired even after crossing the waves of chaos, but he had no choice because he shared some of the energy of the creation with Jin.
However, being tired did not mean that he could not complete the rest of his mission.
Kaaaaaa…!
Gleeek’s screams that had been going on all along went away.
At the end, the backlash of chaos was incomparably weaker than at the beginning.
That meant that the edge of this abyss was a realm not under Gleec’s control.
If he had been able to control this place, if the Black Sea had progressed just a little bit more.
Dante would have really perished as he put it.
Finally.
The two faced a chaotic space that did not attack them.
Instead of chaos, a soft black aura surrounded the two of them, making them feel like spiritual energy.
and looked Like the white stone…
before it was broken, Dante’s sealed figure began to appear in it, just as it did in the Geomwangseong Fortress.
It was obscured by the seal, but clearly recognizable.
The two of them couldn’t even call Dante’s name in this silent chaotic landscape that had reached the end after overcoming and transcending so much despair.
Ron’s eyes were wet as he swung his sword at the seal.
The barrier was scattered with a single sword, and finally.
Ron was able to hug his grandson, who had been freed from the chaos.
My throat was choked and I couldn’t say anything for a while.
“Grandpa…”
Jin too choked up to say anything, but Dante spoke in a thin voice that made them even more sad.
“I couldn’t… beat him. I overcame everything… but foolishly… I was tricked in the end…”
“It’s okay, Dante. It’s okay, it’s okay…”
Ron couldn’t help but cry like a child.
