Chapter 625,
Chapter 161. Return (2)
Last day of January 1803.
Upon exiting Lapla Rosa, Jin knew that the endless ivory-colored desert would greet him as always.
After the first trip to Lapla Rosa, I accidentally met the flame of darkness, and when I entered this time, I thought of the Myoin tribe and burst into laughter.
‘what’s this?’
However, the scenery that Jin met right after opening the door with the spirit sword and stepping out into the royal palace was not the Mithra desert he had known.
A sticky wind was blowing like rotten oil.
The wind was full of vicious miasma, and the land and sky beyond it were ominous pitch-black.
In addition, bleak and deep screams that can be heard from all over the place.
‘This is the Great Desert of Mitra…?’
I don’t know if it’s the Black Sea.
Soon after looking down at the ground, Jin was able to realize that this desolate landscape was the Great Desert of Mithra, ‘contaminated with chaos’.
Every now and then, there were sparse bits of sand left over.
Even the sand, which had struggled to embracing the last remaining vitality of nature, had turned turbid.
“ha.”
The Great Desert of Mithra was originally the land of the Myeongwang family.
The Great Desert of Mithra, which frustrated many adventurers who came after myths and legends, was the land that held the golden city of Lapla Rosa until the end of the Myung Dynasty.
So Jin dreamed of the day when he and his brothers’ city would shine brightly in this desert again.
Right before exiting this door.
Jin tightened the knot of the huge bag on his back even tighter.
The pouch contained the optical hearts of the deceased Myeongwang clan in the past, the blood of half of the chaos purifiers, and the blueprints for the golden fleet.
‘Even if you die,
you’re going crazy until the end.
It was also worrisome.
‘If the Great Desert of Mithra is in this condition, what is the condition of the other places?’
contaminated area.
Two and a half years ago, there were about 50 contaminated areas known to the world.
New contaminated areas were discovered as the days went by, but the Great Desert of Mithra was intact until Jin went to Lapla Rosa.
‘Just as contagious chaos broke out after Gleeec disappeared, the contamination of the land was also multiplying.’
At first glance, the contamination of the Great Desert was at a serious level.
It wasn’t just contaminated with chaos, but to the point where it was considered the land where the fragments of Gleec fell directly.
It’s not an unexpected problem at all.
There’s no law saying that chaos contagion must be confined to living beings.
However, it was a different story that the giant powers including Runcandel and Zipple ‘could not stop it’.
‘Or the Great Desert of Mithra could have been excluded from the purification area. If a large amount of manpower is still invested in cleaning up contaminated areas around the world, it can be enough.’
It’s just a matter of checking out the Great Desert to see what other areas are like.
Anyway, my first impression of Inse, who returned after 3 years, was that it was very unpleasant.
“Keew!”
Suddenly, something struck Jin’s back with a ferocious sound.
Without even looking at him, Jin exploded his brain and exploded him.
With him at the head, monsters were flocking from all sides, so there was no need to observe slowly.
One hundred two hundred three hundred four hundred… more than a thousand.
Jin immediately counted the approximate number of monsters surrounding him.
But it soon stopped.
After over a thousand, it was not important to figure out the number.
You just have to wipe it all away.
Sigmund got out of the scabbard. In the instant
of
the annihilation of the ninth sword, the sword of King Myeongwang,
the dark sky turned blue.
A wing-shaped thunderbolt formed behind Jin’s back spread a dazzling brilliance.
The soaring thunderstorm seemed to tear the black sky at any moment.
And as soon as the brainchild unfolded, a group of monsters rushing from the front died.
It disappeared like dust consumed by fire.
Instead of screaming, the bones and flesh of the monsters turned to ash flew somewhere.
Nearby monsters reflexively tried to see the ashes dissipate, and then met their deaths.
The pale blade was spraying sword energy in all directions like diffusely reflected light.
It looked like they were shooting wildly, but the countless swordsmen were slaughtering the remnants of chaos without any error.
The monsters seemed emotionless.
Jin’s lightly wielded sword continued to run at him even as he died by dozens.
Jin didn’t want them to run away in fear.
If time and circumstances would permit, he wanted to rid the brothers of all the monsters that were polluting their old land.
Every second, dozens or even hundreds of monsters were exploding or splitting.
Ordinary chaos contagious people tend to have at least a little bit of what they were like when they were human.
All the monsters Jin was slaughtering were not contagious, but pure remnants of chaos.
‘That’s a lot.’
Before he became King Tu, Jin would not have made up his mind to destroy all the monsters in the Great Desert.
After breaking through and escaping, figuring out the exact scale and finding a more efficient way was the original way of Jin.
It is because we have to rule out the possibility of becoming dangerous after being exhausted from dealing with endless monsters.
There was no need for that now.
Even though I was pouring out my brain power and aura like crazy, my body felt as comfortable as when I was sitting still and meditating.
Monsters of this level could no longer threaten Jin even if a million attacked.
No matter how many ants there are, the dragon cannot be helped.
‘At this point, it seems that the entire world is using the Great Desert of Mithra as a waste disposal plant… Or is Kingelo ruined? There’s no way that would happen.’
The Great Desert of Mithra belongs to the Land of the Beasts, and the land of the Beasts is currently the territory of Kingelo.
No matter how worthless the Great Desert was, there was no reason to neglect it this far.
‘If Kingelo isn’t really ruined, someone will come soon anyway.’
Thinking that far, Jin paused the sword for a moment. It was because the shape of a person could be seen among the monsters that were flocking like a swarm of wheels.
They were not the servants of a force that Jin expected to find after detecting the battle in the Great Desert.
‘Living Golem!?’
or mine.
They were distorted like the victims rescued during the subjugation of the Dark Magic Society, or they had no face or hair like the royal demons they experienced in Wantaramo Forest.
Intuitively, Jin was able to realize that they were ‘abandoned specimens’.
Also, if there is anything different from the living golem mines I’ve seen before. It was the fact that their bodies were all stained with chaos.
The Chaos Purifier can be effective only on infected people before complete encroachment and body transformation.
Besides, they had already been experimented on before being engulfed in chaos, so even Boras’ purifier could not do anything about it.
They, like the monsters, rushed at Jin.
Jin, who watched them closely while avoiding them, soon realized a shocking fact.
‘In the chaos… I feel certain rules.’
The chaos clinging to the bodies of the infected like a magic circle or a spell showed a complex yet consistent pattern.
The traces seemed to be part of an experiment.
Outside forces were not only clearing the infected and contaminated areas, but were also ‘using’ them.
The specimens were largely classified into two types.
The master’s failure type created by Kingelo and the devil’s failure type, which seems to be a collaboration between Zipple and the imperial family. The former used brain energy, while the latter used aura and magical power.
It was no longer surprising that what each of the subjects were pursuing was the Myungwang clan and the magic swordsman.
All Jin could do was give them a quick rest.
Someone may have been forcibly captured, or they may have been betrayed and turned into test subjects while giving their allegiance to each faction.
Either way, Jin swung his sword so they couldn’t feel the pain as much as possible.
It seemed that even such a basic sense was not left.
how much time has passed like that
The monsters slaughtered by Jin had already surpassed tens of thousands, and the abandoned living golems and demons were no longer visible.
The density of the charging monsters remained the same, but Jin was still not tired.
The more he swung the sword, the more his anger rose.
Jin was hoping that a human who could ask and argue about this terrible situation would soon appear.
And soon, from beyond the dark landscape of the polluted desert, I began to feel a new energy, not chaos.
‘It’s finally here.’
It’s still a long way. About a thousand steps or more.
Even so, the winds of chaos were shaken unsteadily by the aura of the new character.
‘He’s a demon. Zephyrin Bianca. Is it one or the other?’
The aura that pushed the chaos had a dark aura unique to the demons.
The magic that I used to feel from the strong people of the demon realm, such as Zephyrin and Bianca Caligo.
After detonating the released brain energy all at once, Jin quietly waited for him. The exploding brain energy converged back to Jin’s optical heart, but the nearby monsters couldn’t even stand it and oxidized to ashes.
“oh…!”
Eventually, the demons appeared in front of Jin.
It was neither Zephyrin nor Bianca. It was a male demon tribe he had never seen before, and as soon as he saw Jin, he exclaimed in admiration as if he had seen something interesting.
“I wondered what kind of crazy squire was unafraid to play in my playground… are you Jean Runkandell?”
The jewels and gold accessories that are scattered all over the gorgeous gold-embroidered coat seem to think that they are elegant, but the gestures are exaggerated enough to be burdensome. In other words, he was revealing with his entire body that he was a noble of the noble realm.
However, unlike his frivolous appearance adorned with vanity and extravagance, the monsters around him hesitated just by standing still.
Then, all the monsters that rushed at him turned into bloody hailstones, turning into six pieces with one gesture of his hand.
it’s a huge force.
It was definitely like that in terms of the military power that Jin had before.
“Black hair, handsome face, innocent eyes. That’s right, Gene Runkandel! I never thought I’d meet you here The name of this body, which is not formally introduced, is Ranke Halowice. He is the 1st Duke of Halowice, the 4th great Duke of the Demon Realm. The ruler and protector of the northern part of the Demon Realm and its lives, the owner of Mount Tna and Mount Karion…”
“You bastard, Kingelo? It was a very wise decision to announce the name first.”
Jin cut off his words and met Ranke’s eyes.
“…just as I’ve heard it’s rude.”
army?
Wood deok! Ranke couldn’t finish his sentence.
It was because Jin, who rushed in in an instant, put a fist into his chin.
“100 million!”
“Otherwise, I would have introduced myself with a broken jaw.”
