213. Rift Cataclysm Harbinger (4)
Tower of Stories Elona’s office.
“The White Watch and the Dark Knights from the previous generation of Jed Runkandel have returned…”
said Veradin, looking at the newsletter on the table.
All the newsletters dealt with the news of Luna and the returnees of Runcandel. In particular, Hufester’s newsletters detailed their performance in extinguishing the Great Rift in Ciatello as soon as they returned, starting with Dino Jaglan.
“Who is Baek Kyung?”
“I am the first rider of Runcandel who left for the Black Sea with Shiron Runcandel, Lord Elona. Clearly the strongest jockey no. Except for Shiron, he is known as the strongest knight in Runkandel.”
Elona nodded at Ronil’s explanation.
“Is it still like that?”
“Now that I have Jin Runkandel, the head of the sword family, I’m not sure. Because he left for the Black Sea, it has been quite some time since Baek Kyung established a practical major. However, considering Baek Kyung’s status when he was active… he probably won’t be far behind Jin Runkandel even now. Maybe even stronger. Baekkyung would also have accomplished it.”
“It reminds me of the traitor Kelliac Ziple’s assessment of the White Wyvern.”
“What was your assessment? Satrin.”
“Luna Runkandel is a person who has the potential to win against anyone in the world, even if it is Shiron or herself. I said so. In fact, when the traitor was the head of the household, he was most wary of the white whale after Shiron Runkandel.”
“He’s a person who always has the possibility of winning no matter who he fights…”
Elona said that, recalling a memory from a thousand years ago.
Even then, there were people like that.
“Themar and the Flame Emperor come to mind. Just like Gene Runcandel and Luna Runkandel now, they were brother and sister with a good friendship.”
Naturally, those two were the opponents that Elona was most uncomfortable with at the time. Even though both of them were obviously weaker than themselves, fighting somehow made them feel impatient.
‘I think there was one other person besides them two… who was it? Anyway, now Runkandel is as strong as it was back then.’
Gene Runcandel Luna Runcandel.
Elona repeated the names of the two people in her mind, and felt that she did not want to meet them. However, he would have no choice but to fight someday, so that time had to be when he regained all his strength and awakened.
“Fortunately, the tremendous energy I felt from the Black Sea not too long ago… It’s the fact that Shiron Runkandel didn’t come back. Oh, on the other hand, it seems like a problem that there is another person of that level even though he is not Shiron…! Baek Kyung wouldn’t be a creation star, but like me, the cracks were neatly extinguished…! Ugh.”
“Sir Elona.”
“Yes, my lord.”
“Don’t worry too much. Now Sir Elona will not have to deal with them alone like he did a thousand years ago.”
Elona flinched and met Veradin’s eyes. He always knew everything about himself.
“It’s good that the head of the family says that.”
“As soon as he returned, not only the Runkandel, but also the enemy tribes and those who are now presumed to be another underground force began to attack. You must not have been at ease.”
crack.
The premonition of the Pandemonium transfer was continuing in the Lutero Federation as well. As unknown people figured out a while ago, the reason why Zifle suffered a crushing defeat in a battle with the enemy was because Elona left the battlefield to clear the rift.
“It seems so. According to what I recently checked through the tower, they are probably demons… a kind of demon we have never met. We haven’t had direct communication with them yet, but they’re building portals into our territory without permission, so they’ll definitely become enemies.”
Ziple was aware that the rift was a type of summoning magic.
“The demons’ portal will eventually summon their garrison somewhere in Lutero.”
“It’s probably because me and the tower can’t remove all the cracks…”
“That’s not Sir Elona’s responsibility either. Rather, our incompetence in creating space transport like the Barmal Alliance is to blame. Anyway, I plan to meet them as soon as their camp is formed.”
Veradin had negotiations with the Jin Demon World in mind. It was a daunting task to add them to the yard where they were already fighting a war with the enemy.
“If they’re the type to talk to, it might be an opportunity to completely drive out the enemy. First of all, as soon as the shrine maiden’s prayer is over, I will ask you to find out more information about the demons.”
Sanna, the priestess of the Sun God Church. She was currently praying to find Kelliac Ziple. The power of Shinu and Keliac was still a necessary element to complement the Demon Stone and the Tower of Stories.
“We also have to prepare for the case where the demons do not respond to negotiations. The most important thing is the relationship between them and the enemy, so we’ll see.”

Jinma World Sword Demon Castle.
“Twenty-three of the thirty rifts that Zito formed between the earth and the middle world have been destroyed…”
Paellito said as he drank the spirit wine from his glass.
It was a drink made by brewing the souls of the earth and the middle world who fell to hell without being able to bridle the cycle of reincarnation. The screams of pain from the spirits concentrated in alcohol were soothing the uncomfortable feeling.
“I expected it, but thinking that Jito-sama’s magic was damaged is unspeakably unpleasant. Considering the amount of time it took for me to neutralize Jito-sama’s energy in the first place… I find it absurd that such a short-lived human could do it.”
“That’s why people have to deal with pain. After the sun god died, they had too many possibilities.”
“You’re right, Sakiel.”
“According to the information obtained from the witch this time, it is said that the person who cut the most important crack was Luna Runcandel.”
“You mean Ciatello’s Rift. Is it the daughter of Shiron Runkandel who returned from the Black Sea?”
“That’s right.”
“If it is true that he used the red energy, that Luna is the most dangerous person to Jito-sama along with Shiron Runkandel.”
Sakiel handed out a report containing Luna’s information. Paellito took a closer look at the report while savoring the soul wine.
It is to think about how to drive Luna into pain.
Paellito quickly found her weakness.
“Compared to having that much power, he is a weak-hearted and affectionate human.”
“Most people on earth are like that. The same goes for Gene Runkandel, the person of highest concern.”
“But unlike Gene Runcandel, this Luna Runkandel has a subtle sense of guilt, especially towards her blood relatives.”
A smile soon formed on Paellito’s lips.
“Sakiel.”
“Yes, Mr. Faelito.”
“From now on, production of soul wine will be temporarily suspended. And search all over hell to see if Luna Runcandel’s brothers exist. Perhaps they would have gone to hell. If you haven’t already become a soul lord, you will definitely remain.”
“You’re trying to use the classic method of inducing psychological pain through guilt.”
“The classics are always exemplary. Oh, has that insect-like basset been confirmed?”
Basset Biceps.
He was the head of the Jinma-gye Biseps family and a key cadre of the resistance against Jito.
“It looks like Dylus-sama’s chase team caught the tail once.”
“He’s such a persistent guy. I didn’t expect him to run away like that even after being mortally wounded by me. How many times has this already run away? At this point, I don’t know if I’m incompetent or if he’s great.”
“I think Bassett was lucky. Shall we tell them to increase the pursuit team?”
Paellito pondered for a moment and shook his head.
“No, leave it alone. It looks like he wants to somehow survive and connect with the forces on the ground later… It wouldn’t be bad to give him greater despair at that time. Let’s take a good look at hell.”
“All right.”

Garden of Swords.
“Ah, my ears are suddenly itchy. Who is talking about me?”
Luna touched her ear and said.
“Right now, the whole world would be talking about my sister and the returnees. It’s okay if it tickles your ears.”
“Well that’s it.”
The return ceremony of Luna and Zed’s previous generation of dark knights was just about to end with grandeur. And Jin was sitting face-to-face with Luna and talking for the first time in a long time.
There were a lot of delayed stories.
After Luna left for the Black Sea, Jin found the tombs of the seven Temars, made the Declaration of the Family, developed the Tikan, and experienced the Sword Emperor’s Temple and the Gleeek War.
He also brought down Joshua, ended the Battle of the Gods, and endured countless trials and sufferings.
Among them, Luna heard the death of her brothers most heartbreakingly. Also, I enjoyed listening to the story of the brothers who worked together to protect the family until the end.
“Joshua Mu and Lan Vugo… I was too indifferent to them. It would have been nice if I had taken care of it more so that it wouldn’t go astray.”
“It is not your fault.”
Jin naturally thought Luna would shake her head at those words. He said that he would suffer because he had a great responsibility.
However, Luna only nodded her head with a slightly bitter expression.
“that’s right. It’s not my responsibility, because in the end, you choose and take responsibility for your own life. I’ve never pushed them on their backs to go astray and break. It’s not that I don’t feel sorry at all, but it’s sad that the brothers fought a bloody battle. I am more proud of you for being more right as Runkandel than that, and I feel more sorry for you.”
“Stop saying you’re sorry, sister. How far are you going to be sorry? You didn’t come to play in the Black Sea.”
“Is that so? Hmm anyway! If the day comes when I meet those stray guys again, I will definitely give up my soul even then.”
“Will we ever meet again?”
“I will die of old age someday, so won’t we meet in a place like the afterlife?”
“Even if the afterlife does exist, my sister and them will probably be somewhere else.”
“is it? Anyway, my heart is like that. Make sure to give me trouble Anytime, as long as we meet.”
Jin laughed as he saw Luna exaggeratedly clench her fists.
“Now that you have heard a lot about me, please tell me about your sister. What has happened in the Black Sea in the meantime?”
