Chapter 575,
Chapter 148. Darkness (7)
As he felt Dante’s vitality gradually return, something hot rose in Ron’s chest. My heart continues to become numb to the energy of creation, but my eyes are wet with the emotion that even that cannot be covered.
The amount of chaos escaping through the protective wall was clearly decreasing. The speed at which Ron’s swordsmanship tore apart Gleec also increased.
Until now, Gleeek, who casually overpowered the first group of the world’s strongest families, could no longer be found.
Squeak-!
The shape of the bastard that Ron forcibly gathered was cut in seconds. Gleeek’s momentum was rapidly deteriorating, while Ron’s sword was showing its true value.
Gleeek’s screams were quieter than before. It was not because the pain was lessened, but because the energy was weakened.
The black whirlpool of chaos that engulfed the sky also became smaller. Jin was eventually able to reach Rosa and Talaris as its influence diminished.
“the youngest.”
Rosa said, wiping the blood from her mouth. For a moment, the hat closed his eyes and was silent.
Jin didn’t thank Rosa for running to save him, and Rosa didn’t want that either. We were just doing what each other had to do.
After briefly ignoring Rosa, Jin turned his gaze to Talaris. And as soon as I saw her, I knew immediately. That if Rosa had continued to enter the battlefield to save her, Talaris might have been dead.
It was unreasonable to ask Talaris to seal Dante. Because she can’t even control her body right now. Fortunately, Dante was alive, so it didn’t seem like it would be a big problem without Talaris’ help.
However, Rosa’s expression as she examined Dante’s body was not good.
“You are alive, but as a warrior, you are as good as dead.”
“I beg your pardon?”
“…The blood vessels throughout the body were clogged, and the entire Aura operation organ, including the short circuit, was fatally damaged. Didn’t you know?”
I didn’t have time to find out about that because I was frantically running.
Upon checking, it was as Rosa said. It seemed that I would never be able to return unless it was the tears of Numerus that could bring the dead back to life.
Jin closed his eyes and sighed.
“You just have to stay alive. Even if you’re not dead… That’s enough for me.”
“I wish I could do the same for Sir Lorne and Dante Hylan.”
“Are you okay kid!”
Jin nodded at Murakan’s voice. He still wanted to escape with Jin, but Jin did not accept his will.
“It’s impossible to break through that chaos and Lord Lorne’s protective wall. Besides, even if it were possible, going out now would be rather risky.”
It means that if Jin and Murakan can leave the battlefield with the power, Kelliac and Rosa can too.
‘In that case, Kelliac will come after me and Dante. No matter how the family manages to shake them off, the mother is no less dangerous than Kelliac.’
Kelliac now had to secure both Jean and Dante. Jin should be kept for the completion of the demon stone, and Dante as a means of tying Ron up so that he can’t accidentally hit the zip in the future.
It was the same when only Rosa was left.
She spares Dante just like Jean. Like Kelliac, to her Dante was nothing more than a handgun to move Lon Hyran. The present Jin and Murakan did not have the power to protect Dante from them.
Therefore, Jin had to make sure that Dante returned to Ron’s arms perfectly after the war. It was a duty as a friend and a responsibility as a human being.
Whoa…!
Gleec’s body, being forcibly formed, struggled.
After awakening from the seal, everything he had planned failed. It meant that the fate that had already been decided was changing.
It’s been sealed for such a long time, but it has to disappear like this in vain. Something was happening that Gleeck couldn’t accept.
Why doesn’t Ron fall into the psyche?
While his body was being torn apart, Gleeck naturally thought of the cause. The power of creation he knew could never be stabilized so quickly.
Soon, Gleeck came to a conclusion.
[You bastard… The moment you touched the spear, you shared that aura with Solderlet’s contractor. Yes, thanks to that, I was able to withstand the demonization.]
“It’s uncomfortable to keep listening to monsters talking to people.”
[Why did you do that?]
“It’s a reason that people like you can’t understand.”
[Don’t you regret it?]
“Of course.”
[You are a special human being. Even if you combine millions of mortals, it cannot exceed the value of the power you gained.]
“So you are being destroyed by me.”
[Puhehehe…!]
Gleeek let out a self-deprecating laugh.
He was admitting that he couldn’t defeat Ron. However, it was not that there was not a single means left to make a fuss.
[The self-destruction was mine, not yours.]
Ron narrowed his brows.
He hadn’t even considered the case of his self-destruction with Gleeck. Even if he saved Dante, he could not protect him from now on if he died.
That’s why, deep down, he was wary of Gleeek self-destructing. If the huge chaos that forms it explodes all at once, even you can’t be sure.
The wind of chaos suddenly stopped moving. As the chaos encroaching on the earth and sky stopped all at once, humans felt an ominous premonition overtake them.
Just as a river flows into the sea, the stopped chaos began to gather in the middle of the battlefield. Ron tried to catch the flow, but his energy wouldn’t stop.
Choose! Ron Hyran.
About ten seconds later, Gleeck’s voice resounded throughout the battlefield.
It was no different for him to choose.
[If you are, you should be able to get out alone. Whether you protect yourself or save mortals who are worth nothing compared to you. Let’s watch it one last time. With a happy heart…]
For Gleeek, that was the best decision and the last move.
After sharing the light of Changsung with Jin, Ron could never fully prevent his self-destruction. Even if he blocked it, he would either die or become unable to fight anymore, so he had to do this for the sake of his brothers on the other side of the Tigris Mountains.
Even if Ron escaped alone, it wouldn’t be too bad. The fact that he abandoned the blood and kin he wanted to protect so much would amplify his heart again.
At that moment, Dante stood up.
“Dante!”
Vitality is returning, but not enough to move properly yet.
But he was moving towards his grandfather, like Ron overcoming death.
“not… That’s it, Grandpa…”
Ron looked back in the direction his grandson was running.
Ron smiled as he watched his grandson come running with a broken and bent body.
I didn’t even tell him to back off because soon all the chaos in Gleec would explode. Instead, he created a light to form a path for his grandson to come straight to him. The wind of Changsung was assisting Dante’s steps.
“Come closer, Dante.”
Tears of blood flowed from Dante’s eyes as he approached Ron.
Tuk…
Within a moment, Dante collapsed and reached Ron’s arms.
Ron gave his grandson a pat on the back a few times before grabbing him by the shoulder and lifting him up.
“Dante Heir is my grandson.”
“Grandpa and Grandpa…”
“I was going to give you everything anyway. The timing was inevitably pushed forward a little. From the moment you were born, my life was yours.”
Dante was unable to speak.
With the intuition that this was really the last time with his grandfather, he was convinced that his grandfather would never change his choice. I couldn’t stand it because my throat was choking.
“I know how hard it must have been for you to fight while being sick all along.”
Ron placed his sword, Rashid, in Dante’s hand.
Dante continued to shake his head while making eye contact with Ron, but Ron’s hand holding his hand that had received Rashid was too firm.
And it was warm. Even if I wanted to shake it off, I couldn’t shake it off.
“Now…”
You are the swordsman.
you will become black
At Ron’s voice that followed, Dante burst into tears sadly.
And Dante realized that an incredibly powerful energy was entering his body.
The light of creativity obtained by a human named Lon Hi-Lan and the uniqueness obtained by a martial artist named Geomwang are moving from him to Dante.
Like sand slipping through the cracks in his hands, all of that power could not be delivered to Dante in its entirety. Just like he did when sharing the light of creation with Jin.
However, it was enough for Dante’s blood to run wild again and the broken organs to return to their proper places.
In addition, Dante Hylan had it from birth.
The ‘innate chaos’ that had made Dante so sickly was disappearing. It was the result of Gleek, the white stone who formed the chaos, starting to lose his ego.
Now, there is no existence left in the world that can be called Gleek.
Just like an active volcano about to explode, only huge chaos filled the battlefield.
“I was always proud of you.”
“Grandpa please please stop. Grandpa must survive, not me. I have to stay alone…!”
“And because I loved you more than anything else in the world, this old man had a blessed time.”
Ron looked up and met Jin’s eyes, who had followed Dante.
“Please take good care of Dante. I owe you until the end, without giving anything.”
Jin couldn’t say anything.
Ron held Dante in his arms for the last time. He felt relieved because he could feel his grandson’s heart beating vigorously.
“Now go, Dante. This will not be the end for you and me, so don’t sit down in sorrow for too long.”
Ron turned around and the bodies of Dante and Jean floated into the air.
Dante struggled and stretched out his hand toward Ron, but their bodies were moving away from him along the path of light.
“Grandpa, Grandpa…!”
Ron looked back on the path of light where his grandson had disappeared only after Dante’s voice calling him had completely died down. I finally looked back because I felt like my heart would be shaken when I saw my grandson walking away.
Then he formed a sword in place of Rashid.
To end the war, he stepped into the core of chaos.
It was the moment when the chaotic fate of Dante’s death and the destruction of Hyran completely changed.
