Chapter 973,
Chapter 241. Rescue (2)
* * *
At that time, Jin was sitting face-to-face in the training ground of Luna and Tikan Palace.
“Look with your mind’s eye, sister.”
As Jin spoke in a playful voice, blood formed on Luna’s forehead.
“under? what?”
“This is not the time to be angry, sister. Look with your mind’s eye and you will find the answer.”
“This kid is real. I never thought that this sister would repay you in this way for the mental eye training you put so much effort into when you were a student.”
Jin giggled as if he was satisfied with Luna’s reaction.
The reason the two of them are at the training ground right now is no different.
-(P.S.: I think it would be nice for Luna to experience a harsh defeat at least once. You, the youngest, help me.)
A letter from Khan this time. In the letter, Shiron tells Jin to help Luna and make her experience a ‘severe defeat’.
However, now, as we are in a situation where we do not know when a war will break out, we cannot really mix swords. The two were sparring through meditation.
Both of them were spearheads or similar, so it was possible to get an effect similar to real sparring, but I couldn’t help but regret it.
“I think I can reach it if I pierce through a transparent and thin wall… I’ll probably have to cross the crossroads of life and death. However, no matter how immersed you are in meditation, it is difficult to embody a sense of crisis in actual combat.”
In the meantime, all the Changseongs that Jin witnessed or experienced that moment ‘directly’ shared the same characteristics.
Ron and Jin both overcome the crisis of desperation and reach creation.
“Sister, I think it would be better not to obsess over the sense of crisis. I am told that Sir Ron and I reached the castle through the crisis, but neither my father nor my half brother did. And, to me, you resemble them more than me or Sir Ron.”
“But my father and your brothers from the Myeongwang clan must have overcome such crises many times. Come to think of it, I’ve rarely experienced such a crisis in my life.”
I have never felt a serious life threat.
It really was. Luna has lived only as a beast with no natural enemies. Most of the time, even such people eventually encounter a huge wall and think that the sky is wide, but Luna didn’t even have that.
Even the ‘stronger people’ around him, such as Shiron, vaguely felt that he was someone he could reach someday. It was the same when I thought of my youngest brother right in front of me.
At least in the Black Sea, it can be said that he had a period of crossing the line of death, but even then, Shiron and the former Dark Knights were always by his side. It was then that Luna was protected by others for the first time.
“Until I went on an expedition with my father to the Black Sea, I hardly ever felt a crisis, and even in the Black Sea the situation was really bad, but somehow it felt like a crisis that could be overcome. Not too long ago, during the war with the Jin Demon World, there was no dangerous moment at all.”
“Well, that’s right.”
“When I think about it, do you know when was the biggest crisis in my life? That’s the day I saved you from Andrei Ziple, the youngest. At that time, I was a bit overworked while cutting the demon stone, so I got your help in the end.”
Jin recalled the memory of that day for a moment.
“…After hearing those words, looking back, I don’t think that was a big deal to my sister. My sister would have survived without incident if I had not helped her at the end.”
“that’s right. Of course, without you, I would have been hurt a little.”
This is why Shiron said Luna needed a harsh defeat. Climbing the window without defeat was only possible if you had a huge divinity like Elona.
In the first place, Elona was called Changseong because there was no other name, but she was more like a god who had the will of the sun god herself.
‘Surely… my sister will need that kind of experience to reach Changseong. Walking at the crossroads of life and death.’
However, you can’t do real sparring to do such training, and you can’t put Luna in danger by pushing her alone into the enemy camp.
“First of all, why don’t you try to understand the limit on the number of red auras more completely? The training to deal with the red power can be done even without a sparring opponent.”
“I am thinking about that too. If the runaway of red energy is at least a crisis, it can be called a crisis… Ugh, but even this is not something that is absolutely uncontrollable. Damn it’s frustrating!”
The instant Luna shouted, Ameris came to the training ground.
“You sound full, Luna.”
“Ameris. Haha… that’s right.”
“Don’t think too fast. This body does not act impatiently even after losing that much of its former strength, so follow me.”
“I will, Miss Ameris. But what did you come for?”
“I came because I thought I had something to tell Jin. Luna, don’t lose your strength for nothing and listen.”
“Ameris-sama, what are you talking about?”
“It seems that some mighty beings are fighting a battle near the Bongma Wall.”
“yes?”
“A basement? Could it be that there were remnants of Jito left in the Jinma realm? It can’t be.”
Ameris shook her head.
“It is not. It’s not a completely underground battle, it’s a battle that took place in the middle layer. At first, I thought it was long, but it became clear a little while ago.”
Although most of the senses of the heyday spread throughout the ground and underground had been lost, the battle that spread to Maysil on the middle floor was a battle big enough that even Ameris could feel it.
“…Then it must be the enemy.”
“This body thinks so too, Jin. However, I’m still trying to concentrate and read the battle situation, but it seems that the enemy’s energy is not the only one. I don’t know if it’s Ziple’s strongman, Kingelo, or something else.”
“I will go and check it myself. what the enemy is doing.”
“Yes, it could be a great opportunity or a risk. I guess we can leave the ground to Murakan for a while and go back together.”
Jin immediately informed the leaders of the situation and headed for the Red Owl. Ameris continued to focus on her senses near the Bongma Wall and figured out her approximate location. Valeria found the coordinates of the location while listening to Ameris’ explanation.
“If you set the coordinates as Ameris-sama explained, an uninhabited island in the North Sea of the Federation of Lutero will appear.”
An uninhabited island in the North Sea of the Federation of Rutero. It was a space used as a hiding place by the imperial family until it collapsed.
Under the uninhabited island, there are several ‘underground passages’ used by the Qingming people in ancient times, and the imperial family has been hiding from the great powers of the people through them.
“Lutero Federation… It’s a sensitive issue. If me and the youngest go there and get involved with other guys, a war could start right there.”
“It’s okay, sister. It is unlikely that troops are stationed on this uninhabited island anyway.”
“If there is, is it okay if I remove all of them?”
“Yes. If there are troops, that means the deserted island is one of Zipline’s secret agencies, so it’s not bad by itself. It looks like it’s just an abandoned uninhabited island. It is too far from the central areas directly managed by Zipple.”
“That’s right. Let’s go, youngest.”
Jin and Luna Ameris climbed the Red Owl. In an instant, the red owl dropped the three people off on an uninhabited island in the northern part of the Federation.
Upon arrival, it looked like an abandoned island, just as Jin expected. Confederate troops were nowhere to be found.
Only the three of them could smell the faint smell of blood floating all over the island. It was a smell that only those with extremely developed senses like them could smell.
“Huh, this.”
Moving along the smell of blood, a cave was revealed, and the inside of the cave was decorated in the Bement style.
“This must have been the hideout of the imperial family…”
“Is it abandoned? The smell of blood must come from this room. Is this the corpse of an ancient Myeongwang clan…?”
When Luna opened the door attached to the wall, the bodies of the sealed Qingming Tribe burials appeared.
The cave was also equipped with several devices and organs that Jin and Luna had never seen before. However, Ameris immediately recognized that it was an ancient object.
“Luna, that is the corpse of the Qingming Tribe. Ah, seeing these brings back some memories. Jin These are devices that open the passage used by the Qingming people. And as soon as I got here, the battle felt more intense.”
Now Jin and Luna were also feeling the violent vibrations coming from the middle of the basement.
“Let this body adjust the devices here. You two, go ahead.”
Ameris said while touching the stone statue in the center of the cave. Ancient characters engraved on the stone statue were moving back and forth along her hand.
“Okay, Miss Ameris.”
“If you stand here, the device will send you directly to the battle. Let’s see… May… Mayseal. Yes, there was a city like Mayseal. Apparently, the imperial family was attacked by the enemy tribe. The imperial family must have been trading with the Red Myeong tribe using these Cheongmyeong tribe corpses.”
Soon, as Jin and Luna stood on top of the circular ancient letters drawn on the floor, the devices resonated and the space jump began. A bluish passageway opened under the ancient letters, and the two of them were sucked into it as if they were falling.
The two were able to get close to Maysil right away.
Originally, it should have been moved directly to the inside of Maysil Fortress rather than the nearby plain, but the red brain waves emitted by the enemy aerial fortresses were interfering with the space jump.
However, even though it was quite far away, I could see at a glance what the situation was like in the city of Maysil.
It was because the whole sky was full of red and blue thunderbolts.
‘The red thunderbolt is being spread by the enemy’s aerial fortresses and ships, and the blue thunderstorm is…’
Jin moved his gaze to find the owner of the blue thunderbolt. He was dealing with a floating fort in the back, and even though it was the first time I saw him, I recognized him at once.
“Luke… The old commitment of the Myeongwang family. The high priest of the Sun God Church that Ayula-sama said to be wary of. It is definitely him.”
“It’s him, too. By the way, there is another guy who uses blue brain energy. Who is that?”
Eltiot.
He was enduring Pevil’s bombardment with his whole body covered in wounds. It seemed that he was about to collapse at any moment, but Luke seemed to have no intention of helping him, even though he was much more relaxed.
“First of all, since the enemies are trying to kill them, it’s clear that they’re enemies, and since Luke doesn’t care at all, I don’t think he’s even an ally of the Sun God Church.”
“In that case, it would be better to listen to the situation while rescuing that friend.”
“It seems to me, too, sister. Let’s go.”
