Chapter 236. Fire of destruction Cruel past (5)

“Kuh Kaaa…! iced coffee!”
Elona screamed as she grabbed the laurel wreath floating on top of her head.
Only about ten seconds had passed. But all the memories from 2500 years ago were stuck in her brain like nails.
1559 The number of experiments Elona has undergone in Zipple since being captured by Reginald.
Originally, Reginald’s purpose was revenge.
However, whenever he tried to kill Elona during the experiment, he hesitated because of his resemblance to Vichelin. The twisted longing and anger for his brother drove Reginald increasingly mad.
In the end, Reginald in his later years made the decision to make Elona a ‘human’ to replace Vichelin. Even giving the test subject the name Elona, one of Wichelin’s pseudonyms.
“The experiment has been going on for over a thousand years. Even after the death of Reginald Ziple, the 4th head of the family, the successors continued his will to make you human…” As the
years passed, the attitude of the successors toward Elona continued to change.
Someone honored Reginald and tried to fulfill his wish, while someone neglected Elona for fear of a runaway during the experiment. Someone else wanted to use Elona’s infinite power.
The present Elona Ziple was finally born with all that blind obedience and fear and desire combined. And the information and technology obtained through the experiment through her were also the basis of the current mental manipulation technique that Zipple has.
“Now do you understand? ancestor. From the moment you were born, you were the embodiment of destruction and slaughter. The ancestors were never human. You were a divine being born to destroy the world, but in the end, you were reborn as a human-like war weapon by our Zipple.”
The pressure from the laurels was getting stronger. The more she did, Elona felt her consciousness gradually blur.
All the thoughts and emotions he had recognized as a ‘person’ up until now, his love and concern for Veradin, and the realization and meaning he had gained through Jin were all being erased.
But the laurel crown could not be taken off or destroyed.
“The laurel wreath you wear now is made from a tree that was in the Holy Land at the time. So you can’t go against it. You could call it a last resort. In case the armory takes on a presumptuous ego.”
“No… no! Aagh!”
“A thousand years ago, for some reason, my incompetent ancestors lost their laurels and lost control of you. But that won’t happen anymore. Just be patient, you’ll feel better soon.”
The strength was draining from the two hands holding the laurel wreath.
As Kelliac said, Elona felt that the passion that had soared inside her as if she was about to burn herself was rapidly fading away.
< 985 test subjects' resistance to external stimuli increased. >
< 1417 test subjects ran out of control. Again, it is assumed that the test subject did not accept the fact that the tree was damaged. >
< Test 1430 still reacted strongly to the fact that the tree was damaged. >
< Test 1501 Finally, the test subject was made aware that the shape of the tree could change. Now, it is judged that a powerful control device can be made through the tree. >
< Episode 1539 'Seongsu Pipe' completed. >
< Episode 1567 Partial control of the test subject without the Seongsu Pipe. Part of the test subject's power moves to the holy water pipe. What did we miss? It was confirmed that the test subject still possessed the combat power of creation even after the force was dispersed . Rejection Not identified. At this rate, the test subject will soon become a member of the family. >
< End of experiment 1599. 'Elona Zipple' completed. Execution of researcher removal... Experiment records from the beginning to the 1599th were transferred to the Seongsu Hall. >
The records of the experiment flowed into Elona’s brain through the Seongsu tube.
Soon, Elona felt her vision darken. The roar of the dooming fire and the voice of Keliac were no longer heard.
The faces of Veradin, whom he had longed to see so much, and the faces of Jin and Murakan, who had just fought together, were disappearing from consciousness.
At that fact, Elona felt deep sadness and helplessness, but as Kelliac said, it was only for a moment.
“Start self-repair. Estimated completion time 30 seconds. Holy water crown recipient, please protect me during that time. Start self-repair. Estimated completion time 23 seconds. Holy water crown recipient, please protect me during that time. Self-repair begins…”
A smile formed on Kelliac’s lips.
Now, if a variable does not occur again after about 20 seconds. Elona would become a loyal weapon of Ziffle again.
It is impossible for Jin and Murakan to come to the rescue of Elona through this huge fire that could engulf the entire hell.
They had already been pushed far from the poisonous castle to stop the fire of destruction from spreading.
It is not that there is no anxiety at all. Kelliac recalled the ‘power of existence’ that created incomprehensible variables at each of these crucial moments.
15 14 13 12….
With each passing second, Kelliak’s senses aroused and he read out the approximate positions of Jin and Murakan. The short time seemed to flow very slowly.
All 30 seconds passed.
Saying so, Kelliac met eyes with Elona Ziple, who had completed self-recovery. Elona’s milky way eyes were shining even more than before. A darker glow flowed from her hair.
Elona looked around for a moment before unfolding a protective shield that wrapped herself and Keliac together. Then he got down on one knee at Kelliac.
“You’ve climbed the window and the world is helping you… but this time it’s my victory, Gene Runcandel.”
“You are the one who woke me up. My life is yours now and I will do anything for you. tell me your name.”
After waking up from the secret palace, Elona completely lost all her thoughts, memories and emotions. She now had no choice but to act according to the settings entered into the Seongsu Hall. Just like the demons brainwashed by Jito did.
“Kelliac Ziple. It is the only fruit of our incompetent ancestors.”
“This place is dangerous. The fire of destruction appears to have been unleashed by you, but there are two powerful foes. The enemies are preventing the fire of destruction from spreading… do you want to kill them?”
“Yes, is it possible?”
Elona read the energy of the two for a moment and then shook her head.
“Currently, this is impossible. According to the records left in the Seongsu Hall, the last time it was used by me was a thousand years ago. I need a little adjustment period to use my abilities properly. I wonder if there was only one enemy.”
“As expected. I’m sorry, but I can’t help it.”
“I would like to invite you to escape Kelliac Ziple. If your enemies let the fire of destruction spread and aim for you, taking damage is inevitable. Because my adjustments are not over. Of course, it doesn’t mean that your fighting power is lacking, but it means that you and I have no choice but to get hurt. In some cases, it could even lead to death.”
Kelliac nodded at Elona’s assessment. Wearing the holy water crown, she had a calm sense that was incomparable to before.
Elona has no weaknesses anymore. Wearing the crown of holy water, she was truly a perfect weapon of war.
“i get it.”
“Which way should I escape? This space is not recorded in Seongsu Hall. You give me the direction.”
Keliac pointed his finger through the flames.
“Oh, it will. This is the underworld. You’d better go over there and get some friends.”
“friend?”
“It is a demon called Ragal. A useful friend. And there are people whom Ragal is pursuing. Capture the red-haired woman among them.”
“Ragal… That name annoys me for some reason. Okay, move immediately.”
The protective shield surrounding Elona and Kelliac began to float. The shield moved forward like a flying ship, cutting through the flames in an instant.
It was an explosive acceleration that no dragon or ship could imitate. Keliac controlled the fire of destruction and opened the way to Ragal.
At that time, Jin and Murakan sensed that there was an ominous change.
‘This is… Sir Elona’s energy?’
However, the familiar energy from fighting together was darkly tinged and turned toward Valeria.
[Little! I’ll be blocking your share for now, so go to Immortal!]
Murakan exclaimed, breathing heavily. Jin was already trusting Murakan and paving the way for Valeria.
Pushing away the persistent flames, he found Valeria. Fortunately, Jin was able to reach there before Elona.
“Valeria Vale!”
“jin!”
Veil was protecting his companions while blocking the fire of destruction and Ragal’s miasma. Valeria, Beradin, and Betty looked up at Jin in the golden aura of the veil.
If Jin hadn’t arrived now, Bale would have been mortally wounded by Elona’s magic that had just flown in.
Chee-in!
A sharp ray of light passed through Ragal and hit the veil. Just as Elona’s attack was about to penetrate the shield, the black sword that fell in a straight line struck the light.
“What did you do to Sir Elona, Kelliac?”
“It made me realize who I am.”
Elona looked at Kelliac without closing the distance from Jin any further.
“Oops! Kekek!”
Elona grabbed Ragal’s back. Ragal felt as if his neck would be cut off by the violent hand.
“Kelliac friend, what is this kek? live a little. Kuck. It’s out of shape.”
Ignoring the fussing Ragal, Elona made eye contact with the enemies.
“Celiac failure. It is impossible to capture alive and the battle is dangerous. I will escape with this.”
“Sir Elona…!”
It was Veradin’s voice. Elona’s unfamiliar and hostile attitude was confusing him and Jin.
Elona didn’t feel any emotion even when she saw Beradin’s distorted face. He was just curious as to why he, who seemed to be a pure-blooded Jeep, was being protected by his enemies.
Kelliac shrugged his shoulders accepting Elona’s judgment.
“i get it. Let’s go back to the family.”
Jean couldn’t catch Kelliac and Elona trying to back off. The moment he started fighting them, the lives of his comrades and the real world were all over.
“Sir Elona! Don’t forget, I’ll visit you again!”
Belladin shouted. It was the only thing he could do now.
Elona added her magic power to the fire of destruction that enveloped Jin and his party and opened a retreat.
“Don’t forget! do not forget…!”
Veradin’s voice was drowning in the flames.
