Chapter 943,
Chapter 234. To Hell (3)
Beradin narrowed his brows.
“…what?”
“You must think you are doing very well now. He is in the process of bringing down Kelliac and making the new Ziple stronger and more durable as the family head. Maybe some of them are true. But you are just being used after all.”
“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
“Because of mental manipulation, he is losing his self and becoming a monster. You didn’t become the cold person you are now because you wanted to.”
“It’s not an alliance, but I came here to say hello because I have to hit Zito together, but I didn’t expect to hear something like this. After becoming a creation, has the demonization already progressed? Cover your mouth, Jean Runcandel.”
“Maseonghwa, yes. you are in a similar state So let me help you. I can’t keep you like that any longer.”
“I refuse.”
“Rejection is rejection.”
“…Are you trying to play puns with me?”
“No, I’m serious.”
Veradin was speechless and glared at Jin.
However, on the other hand, it was also surprising that he felt anger at only this level of provocation. If it had been someone other than Jin, I wouldn’t have cared at all.
‘It’s unpleasant that Jin Runkandel’s strangely looking at me looks like Elona-sama’s….’ Not too long
ago, when he released the cursed fire that was trying to encroach on Veradin, Elona had peeked at his anxiety.
It was like fear of Kelliac and worry about his friends. And Elona was determined to make Beradin face her heart someday. It was natural for Veradin to feel the same way as Jin now.
“Don’t say it’s okay. Go down and don’t get killed by Jito. It is our Zipline that defeats you.”
“Just say you are worried. Where are you going?”
Veradin sighed as he tried to answer, and returned to Ziffle’s ranks.
“Looks like he’s gotten a little better, doesn’t he? Is it my mistake?”
“I felt it too, Murakan. Since the mental manipulation wasn’t perfect, it must be that there are still problems inside.”
“If you investigate the records of Beradin Ziple and Elona Ziple later, you’ll find clues about anything.”
“Yes… Looking at the records of Elona Ziple left in the Secret Palace, it is highly likely that Elona in the past was also used by Ziple to commit a massacre.”
According to the records left in the Secret Palace, as soon as Elona woke up, she tried to avoid murder and was confused about her own existence. He never seemed to have the personality of a slayer who destroyed the whole world and killed people.
“If Elona was really used like Beradin Ziple, then if they realized that and rebelled against Ziple. Zipple will have no choice but to let go of its position as the world’s best.”
“It will be like that even if the completion of the demon stone is canceled, Veil. Anyway, Valeria needs to create an opportunity to look at the records of the two. And this expedition is a pretty good stage to create that situation.”
No one knows yet what will happen during the fight in Hell. Perhaps Jin and Beradin were located in far-flung areas throughout the battle.
However, after Jito’s subjugation was over, there would be very few days where Jin would be so close to Beradin.
Of course, there is nothing to face unless another public enemy appears or Runkandel and Ziple finally engage in an all-out war.
‘It’s a pity that Elona isn’t here because of the defense of the mainland. But if Beradin is in danger, he will immediately come to Hell for assistance. Then, if I’m lucky, I’ll be able to talk to them or look at the records.’
The moment I thought about that, Orgal came to visit the party this time.
[Jin.]
As soon as I saw him, I thought of Pirops Bahma’s ‘dream ability’. In particular, Valeria trembled inwardly as she recalled the fact that she looked at the records of key members of the alliance every day because of her dream ability.
[I came to Grosch to explain the passage of the castle.]
“Yes. Tell me, Orgal.”
[This passage leads to the dark area of the realm of demons. If you go in there, as the name suggests, a dark and wide space is revealed.]
“And?”
[If you go all the way north from there, you will find the castle of the An family. It is the castle of Videluce, who was killed by the vigungju. The battle will start from there.]
“Do you know the road from Anseong to Jito’s residence?”
Orgal nodded.
[Thanks to finding some more memories lately. However, Jito’s residence is not a realm where you can go freely just because you know the way. I need a key.]
“Looks like you’re talking about this sword.”
Jin said while holding up the sword he had brought from the golden box.
Vascala Faelito’s sword remained intact on the battlefield, undestroyed even after his death.
[…Hoho, how did you know?]
“I heard from Paelito.”
Paellito died without giving that information. It was Biceps who told Jin that Bascala was the key.
Jin had already heard all the information Orgal said from Biceps in advance. Jin was checking to see if the words of Orgal and Biseps matched.
[Ah, I guess. If you use the sword like a key, the demons sealed in the sword will wake up at once. It’s like a kind of guardian.]
“Then, wouldn’t it be fine if Jin didn’t use Bascalar as a key and just break down the entire door?”
When Bale said, Orgal shook his head.
[Of course, since Jin is now on the Changseong, there will be nothing in the world that he can’t cut down. Probably. But that door leads to another subspace within the realm of demons. If you don’t open it in the right way, you’ll have to go back a long way to find Jito.]
“So you mean you have to kill all the demons sealed in Bascala to meet Jito?”
[Not only that, but there must be troops from the realm of demons blocking us until we reach the gate.]
Army of the realm of demons.
Jin now saw them as Zito’s victims. Like Faelito, he is brainwashed by Zito to wage an unwanted war.
That’s why Jin was willing to defer death later, just like the subjects of the Holy Kingdom, even if he had to deal with them. Since Numerus had no will, he would not be able to awaken him in the form of a selfed soul.
“Okay Orgal.”
Jin looked closely at Orgal, who was returning to Kingelo’s ranks.
“Zito said he wanted that guy to be his successor.”
Orgal said as if he didn’t know why, but Jin had one possibility in mind.
“So maybe Jito can leave her power or some legacy to Orgal if things go badly. If there is any sign of such a thing, we must stop it, so let’s keep an eye on him.”
“For now, you haven’t fooled us at all. All of the information Biseps gave me, kid.”
The group moved slowly down the aisle.
The passage looked like a sheer cliff. Demon spirits were rising from beneath the darkness beyond.
“let’s go.”
Whoa-!
Murakan transformed into his true form and carried the party on his back. In an instant, Murakan sank into darkness and disappeared from Ziffle and Kingelo’s sight.
The aisles seemed endless and deep. Even after descending at full speed for over an hour, there was no sign of reaching the bottom.
“At this rate, it will take quite a bit of time for Ziple and Kingelo’s fleet to come down. The scouts will arrive sooner than that, but we should already be heading north.”
[It’s not just the distance. Right now, we are constantly crossing the subspace formed by the broken gaps in the Bongma wall. It will probably take two days for the fleet to pass through all of these sub-spaces, kid.]
It took a total of two hours to reach the Jinma Realm of Darkness. And the Dark Zone had a completely different landscape from Orgal and Biseps’ explanation.
“…This is something I haven’t heard from Biseps.”
It was a vast area of darkness.
However, above the darkness, the corpses of the demons of the real world were literally forming a mountain. At first glance, tens of millions of corpses are filling the dark zone. Like slaughtered cattle.
However, the dead demons are people, not livestock.
Although they met as enemies, it was only because they were brainwashed by Jito. Until they were brainwashed, they were just people born in hell.
‘The last time I contacted Biseps was a week ago. I said I couldn’t contact you at all because of preparations for the showdown. So, does this mean that this happened within a week… No, judging from the condition of the corpses, that’s not the case either.’
A warm aura was emanating from the corpses.
“They all died fighting each other… Other than that, there are no other records.”
[It doesn’t seem like the result of a fight between Biseps and Zito’s men. In the first place, there weren’t that many combatants in Biseps.]
Jin had a hunch.
The fact that Zito used them to strengthen his power called ‘Pain’. Changseong’s insight was vaguely showing what happened here and the direction the demons’ spirits were headed.
And I could feel Zito’s will in it. The will was speaking. All these demons were killed by you, not by me.
“It seems Zito is afraid of me.”
[Little boy?]
“If it weren’t for that, he wouldn’t have driven the demons to death like this to increase his power. We’ll probably have to go through mountains of these corpses over and over again until we get to his lair.”
Whoaaaaa…!
Jin formed a lump of golden aura on his palm.
Then, as if to raise a sacrifice, I put the energy on the floor, and suddenly a golden energy spread like pulses among the corpses.
If he hadn’t climbed the window and obtained the power of regeneration, Jin would have been engulfed in unbearable rage at this moment.
Naturally, that would inevitably lead to demonic nature.
But now, Jin remembered what Ayula said and was strengthening his inner self.
-So, don’t collapse under the weight of guilt, Jin. You must never fall to give them life back to those who died so before, to those who will die so after.
“I will punish Zito and return your lives.”
The party left the corpses behind and started flying north.
