Chapter 853 Chapter
212. Return order (2)
Jed Runkandel. The only one of Shiron’s siblings to survive.
As soon as Rosa went crazy, he left the Garden of Swords and headed for the Black Sea. It was because he decided that Shiron’s return was the only way to recover the family from chaos.
That was already 4 years ago.
For four years, he had pierced the Black Sea alone without a map. More than anyone else, the expedition corps facing Zed knew how great that was.
It was infinitely close to impossible.
In the first place, Zed’s strength was only 8 stars. Since he had the blessed body of Runcandel, he could be considered as a 10 star, but it was impossible to reach the depths of the Black Sea. It’s something even 10-stars can’t do.
However, Jed was facing Shiron now.
Luna shed tears as she recalled the countless adversities and absurdities he had experienced, and the former Dark Knights, who had been close to Zed for a long time, also felt their emotions overflowing.
Only Shiron and Jed calmly faced each other’s eyes.
“It’s been a while since we met. What’s your family name?”
“I did it because I thought that if I called him older brother, he would get angry if I didn’t address him correctly. You used to do that often when you were young.”
Chiron grinned as he remembered the time when he scolded Jed as a child. After his demonic nature was overcome, Shiron’s laughter like that became more frequent.
And Jed saw that and instantly recognized the change in Shiron.
“I should have scolded you less then. Even at a moment like this, I see you worry about that first.”
“You’ve changed bro. for the better.”
“It happened.”
Jed chuckled for a while, then put on a dark expression.
“Brother, I came to…”
“I know. It must be because of Rosa.”
“…How did you know?”
“I met the youngest in my world. And I also know that he finally cut his body…”
There was a hint of bitterness in Shiron’s voice. Jed also recognized that there was sadness in that bitterness.
Poetry overcoming devilishness has a humane sensibility unlike before. Of course, even if he removes his demonic nature, he has lived with swords and blood for such a long time, so it is not a common emotion, but he clearly feels the sadness of losing his wife.
However, because he was the head of the household, he could not grieve because he was away from the family then and now because of Rosa’s sins.
“…You cut your chest?”
For Jed, that had to be more shocking than the fact that Shiron was grieving. The reason why he risked his life to come to the Black Sea in the first place is because he is an evil spirit.
“You must have been wandering the Black Sea the whole time, so you don’t know anything about the news outside.”
“No, my older brother has been in the Black Sea much longer than me.”
“You will understand when you reach the same level as me.”
Jed was speechless for a moment, but then nodded.
“Ha… please tell me in detail. Did the youngest really cut his chest? Then what happened to the family name? Didn’t I have to come here?”
“It is true that the youngest had cut his chest. I don’t know what happened to the family after that. However, if he is the youngest, he will surely lead well. And it’s very good that you came to see me.”
“Why is that?”
“Have you not become stronger? Even if a powerful enemy like the evil god threatens the family again, many people in the family will rely on you and lean on you. Even if there is no hope, I will look at you and think. If it’s Jed Runkandel, he’ll be able to turn something around.”
It wasn’t just a blessing for passing through the Black Sea like a miracle.
Chiron was genuinely convinced that Jed had accomplished just that. And there is no person in this world who can accurately recognize the opponent’s skill than Shiron.
Zed has finally entered the realm of transcendence. And that, from Shiron’s point of view, was not in the beginning, but in the middle.
“Ozdock.”
[Yes, the elder!]
“Set the table appropriately. I think I should have a meal with my brother whom I haven’t seen in a long time.”
[Okay! hi and true Even after meeting Sir Vanessa with me earlier, he just walked silently, so someone said it. It must be the elder’s sister! Nice to meet you, I am the monster Ozdok… You can think of it as a caterer and a playful boy of the expedition.]
Ozdok said hello and quickly cut a rock in the Black Sea and set the table. Jed was able to guess how the Black Sea meal had been done from Ozdok’s familiar motion.
Even the dishes on the table after a while were more serious. As Shiron purged the remnants of chaos and monsters collected by Ozdok, thin lumps were created. Ozdok deftly distributed the chunks on the table.
‘It’s a spectacle… Are you saying everyone ate only these things?’
While Jed was astonished, the rest of the expedition members handed over their greetings.
“Uncle, it feels so good to see you at such an unexpected moment.”
“Luna, you have become stronger too. Seeing you makes me feel that you are still far away.”
“I feel the same way when I see my father.”
“Yes… that’s really comforting…”
“Jed, you’re the first person to come all the way to the Black Sea alone.”
“It was only something I was able to do thanks to my brother and the expedition team paving the way in advance, Vanessa.”
“Even so, what you have done is a feat that should remain in the family forever.”
“Thank you, Tuven. It reminds me of when I tried to beat you when I was younger. The same goes for Heijin, who is sitting over there.”
While the welcome words were exchanged, the meal was ready. Just as Chiron was about to pick up a lump and put it in his mouth, Jed pulled something out of his pocket.
“Oh oh! Zed What is that!?”
“Uncle! This…!”
It was food.
A few handfuls of dried grains and elixirs that were saved and saved until the end. For the expedition corps, which had only eaten purified chaos and monsters over the past few years, it was truly normal food after a long time.
If the expedition hadn’t dealt with the kings of the Black Sea, such as Kyal and S, and the monsters that ruled each area of the Black Sea in advance, the food would have all rotted.
Jed clicked his tongue in regret as he watched the expedition team with their eyes shining in front of the food.
The first to touch food was Chiron. He picked only one grain of each type of grain, and only a tiny root or leaf piece of elixir.
“This is all I need, so share the rest equally among all of you.”
“I’ll fall too, brother. I ate a lot on the way.”
“Okay. Oh Luna. Get out of here too.”
“Yes father… yes? Me? Why am I…?”
“Now you’re answering everything. This father looks funny.”
“I understand.”
“Vanessa.”
“Yes, my lord. Oh, maybe me too…?”
“Yes. And Tuven.”
“All right.”
“Hey Jin. You too.”
“Yes, my lord.”
Jed Luna Vanessa Tuben Hegin.
Ozdok distributed food to all but five like that. It was a perfect distribution of grains.
After a long time, a humane meal began. Those who did not share the food were eating as usual.
Well well.
The sound of chewing and swallowing food continued for a while. To the expedition, the bitter taste of the grain and the bitter taste of the elixir felt just as sweet as sugar.
“Why do you think I excluded the five of you?”
“I don’t know, Father.”
“I, like you, have been strong since I was born, so I did not have enough to understand the true intentions of others with difficulty, but you are a bit harsh. When you go back, teach the youngest to learn what it means to notice, Luna.”
“Yes, I see… Huh? Did you say you’re going back?”
The pupils of Luna and the former Dark Knights widened. Ozdok was taken aback and shivered.
[Collock Coke. I have a feeling that the bitter taste of the elixir becomes richer after eating Oh. ha ha ha. Are you coming back anyway? Miss Luna and the other knights… are you leaving the Black Sea now!?]
Shiron nodded. Those who had been ordered to return looked at him calming their frightened hearts.
“You guys will eat better food when you go back, so it’s right to give everything Jed brought to others.”
“father. I cannot leave this heavy burden with my father and others alone.”
“It wasn’t about answering words, it was about raising your eyebrows.”
“But Father!”
When Luna stood up and shouted, the other knights were startled. No matter how Luna was, it was unacceptable for Shiron to show herself like this.
However, Shiron waved that he was okay with the knights who were trying to stop Luna.
“I’m sure you’re worried about me and the other knights, Luna.”
“No matter how much my father overcame his demonic nature, everyone here saw it. Even fathers are too dangerous without us. So please reconsider your order, Father.”
“Luna. If I had thought that maybe I was planning the future in case the expedition was wiped out, I was wrong. Also, I have no intention of destroying the rest of the Black Sea kings here.”
I kill all the kings of the Black Sea and return to my family.
Shiron continued talking behind his back and met Luna’s eyes.
“If I had the same thoughts as you, I would have entrusted Barisada to you right now. Go and tell the youngest. But Barisada, I keep taking it. Because I don’t plan to die in the Black Sea. To be honest, I didn’t have that kind of heart before, but now I don’t at all.”
“Then isn’t there any reason why we should go back? The way to deal with all the kings of the Black Sea as soon as possible and return together…
”
“The youngest side… The royalties are more dangerous than here?”
“It could be said relatively. I am not currently in the family. Mighty foes are waking up. It seems that an incomprehensibly strong wizard has already appeared in Zipple, and not on the ground. Even somewhere I have never been, unknown beings are revealing their power.”
It can’t be a made-up word. Shiron’s senses, which the expedition had seen so far, had now reached a realm where it would not be enough to call him a god rather than a demigod.
“So you go back and help the youngest. Also, as of this time, I officially appoint him as my successor, Sogaju.”
Those who received the order to return bowed their heads in unison.
“When the meal is over, I will open the way for you to return more easily. It will take some time as I need to release all my energy for a while across the Black Sea. Until then, we can talk a little bit about the delayed story.”
“…Okay Father. I will go back and help the youngest, and I will be waiting for you.”
“Jed.”
“Tell me, brother.”
Shiron raised his head for a moment, fixed his gaze on the gloomy sky over the Black Sea, and then went on to say:
“When you go back, tell the youngest. I’m sorry I made you cut your chest, not me.”
Stop shiron. That death flag
