Chapter 558

C558

As soon as Gliek awakened, the war that was raging outside naturally came to an end.

Kelliark and Ron also had no choice but to defend against the chaos energy sweeping the battlefield.

Runcandel, who had been observing the situation, could no longer remain idle.

As soon as Gliek awakened, his power extended its influence even to where the Runcandels were hiding, and the option to escape was no longer available.

It was because Jin was inside.

Although Rosa hoped that Zipple and Hairan would either face defeat or come to negotiate, Jin’s death was absolutely excluded in Rosa’s calculations.

Above all.

Those on the battlefield could instinctively feel that if they didn’t defeat the awakened Black Sea King here and now, the next sequence would inevitably lead to the end of the world or a catastrophe of equal magnitude.

Rosa and Kelliark also realized why Kinzelo had not participated in this crucial battle until now.

‘Kinzelo, those bastards knew that the White Stone was the Black Sea King.’

‘…Now I understand. That’s why Ron suffered such a serious injury. It was because the Black Sea King reacted to the energy of the Kinzelo Leader that remained in Ron’s wounds.’

Rosa and Kelliark thought about this as they gritted their teeth.

Both were correct. Kinzelo knew the identity of the White Stone, so they called it a bomb, and Ron’s injury deepened when Gliek reacted to the power of the Kinzelo Leader.

Roar!

Deep blue flames erupted from the Chaos on the ground.

As soon as Rosa and Kelliark saw the flames, they inwardly sighed in relief.

The flames were proof that Jin was still alive.

Rosa had to save Jin.

Now that Jin had become the next influential patriarch externally instead of Joshua, and if she lost Jin, then the information about Histor and Temar would be lost again.

Kelliark also needed to save Jin.

If Jin died, he might somehow recover Solderet’s powers, but things would change if he got “eaten” by the Black Sea King.

Kelliark wouldn’t be able to complete the “Demon God Orb” forever.

A Chaos storm was unleashed.

The Demon God Orb hanging in the sky trembled with a distorted face.

Cchchhha, chhhaa…

A deep, fear-soaked voice mixed with Chaos and gradually disappeared.

What the Demon God Orb feared was not Ron but Gliek.

It was the countless Gods sealed inside the Demon God Orb…

The fragments of the Origin Orb that they themselves broke because they couldn’t handle the power.

Rosa’s sword, ‘Frenzy,’ was dyed with a white aura and created a sharp resonant sound.

An aura resembling mist protected the Runcandel Knights behind her.

Unlike Talaris, Rosa could fight without restrictions.

Thanks to her enlightenment after Jin’s declaration at that moment, she could unleash a sword comparable to the current Ron.

The fiery blade cut through the incoming Chaos, and the Runcandel Knights followed her step by step in the storm, slowly forming a defensive formation.

In the sky, Kelliark and Zipple’s fleet descended slowly to the ground, making its way through the Chaos.

The fact that all of them mobilized to save Jin was undoubtedly something no one on the battlefield expected.

If Tess had not been summoned, Jin would not have avoided the loss of some of his allies.

The blue flames were forming a barrier in place of the broken ultimate technique, White, in the front.

The power Tess was exerting now far exceeded that of the day she destroyed the Dark Wizards Society with a single roar, but now the opponent was Gliek.

Defense alone was not reasonable.

Tess didn’t know how long she could even pierce through the unstable chaos catalyst.

“Huh, huh…!”

Breathing heavily, Talaris lifted her head and looked ahead.

Maintaining White had reached its limit, and she retracted her sword, relying on Jin, Tess, and the Black Knights.

At the same time, the entire white ice formation melted, and Stam and the Black Knights took their place and stepped forward.

The black energy touching the blade is as heavy as a mountain.

However, the Hidden Palace Master is not a person who exhausts all her strength to that extent, so why is she so tired?

Talaris spat blood and looked at the backs of the Black Knights.

“I need time to refine my energy. Hold on until then, Stam. It will be difficult to break through the withdrawal route like this, so don’t think about taking only Jin.”

“Understood, Hidden Palace Master.”

Talaris sat up straight.

Then, dozens of white portals opened around her, and from within them, an energy that far surpassed the power Talaris had used until then flowed and began to surround her.

‘As expected, there was still strength left.’

However, the situation remained unfavorable.

Stam and the Black Knights felt it too.

The chaos energy was pointing at none other than Jin.

Why is it coming at me?

Jin didn’t have time to wonder about those things.

He had already experienced through Yona that Chaos beyond a certain level showed hostility towards him.

Jin moved his steps to Stam’s side.

“Twelfth Flagbearer.”

“We’ll hold him together. We have to endure until they clear a retreat route from the outside, so it shouldn’t interfere with your mission, Stam-nim.”

Bradamante, engulfed in blue flames, blended with the swords of the Black Knights and began cutting through the chaos.

Murakan and Misha also squeezed out the remaining strength, opening the black lance and curtain, and the companions who still had strength seemed to be clearing the chaos they couldn’t avoid.

No one spoke a word.

Only the clash of swords and Chaos reverberated in Tess’s flames.

Slowly…

The Chaos storm faded.

However, the knights felt it wasn’t because the power of the Black Sea King had weakened, but rather the result of him fully awakening and organizing his strength.

This vast power that turned the entire battlefield into chaos in an instant was nothing more than a prelude.

The real thing will begin from now on.

[Ahhh….]

Everyone on the battlefield could clearly hear that voice.

A creepy sensation that couldn’t be described pierced the hearts of knights and magicians.

Then, the chaos storm stopped.

The Chaos energy that swirled wildly and swept the battlefield stopped in its place like a picture.

Only at that moment could people face the true form of Gliek, the Black Sea King.

A dark and massive phantom.

The two crushed feet didn’t touch the ground but were firmly fixed in the air, and the hundreds of arms attached to the torso pointed in all directions, holding spears and swords.

These arms were thick and long enough to reach the broken spires of the Sword Emperor Castle, and the weapons covered the entire sky.

Even the face of the Demon God Orb seemed small compared to him, and the fleet floating in front of him looked like flying insects.

They can’t believe it came out of that small stone…

A giant mass of an unfathomable abyss dominated humans.

However, the black eyes swayed unstably like an alpine tree.

If looked closely without being intimidated by its majesty, a twisted feeling could be found in every part of Gliek, as if something was distorted.

For some reason, he couldn’t awaken perfectly.

The human world was a land where Gliek shouldn’t exist, and he had been sealed for too long.

But this fact couldn’t console those gathered on the battlefield.

Most hadn’t even realized that Gliek had been released in an imperfect state from the beginning.

“Is… a Black Sea King?

Five Black Sea Kings.

The first time Jin heard about them was when Myuron Zipple was facing his end.

-Once I was the lover of the Witch Helluram, who shared a cup with the Kings of the Tigris Mountains, west of the Black Sea……

During the Columbus Incident, a spell cast by Myuron, using dark magic to be possessed by the Demon King Orgal.

Since that day, Jin had heard no information about the Black Sea Kings anywhere.

Even when Talaris explained the Chaos directly to him, she didn’t speak of the Black Sea Kings.

But as soon as Jin faced Gliek’s figure, he knew instinctively.

That the dreadful being was the reason his father was so obsessed with the Black Sea.

“I hoped it was part of the Chaos and Helluram’s artifact, but Gliek…!”

Like Kelliark, Misha also hoped that the White Stone was the Chaos and Helluram’s artifact, not the Black Sea King.

Unlike Misha, whose face turned white, Murakan seemed to be hearing the name Gliek for the first time.

But whether he knows the name or not…

It didn’t matter.

The issue the group faced was survival.

[I woke up… from a long sleep… but I am… far… far away… from my brothers.]

Aaaahh!

Before Gliek could finish his words, a roar erupted from the sky.

Zipple’s fleet, excluding Kozec, faltered and opened fire.

The cannons of the flying battleship were filled through the mana of the magicians.

However, Kelliark didn’t give the order to fire, and Zipple’s most elite magicians aboard the battleship didn’t lose their heads in fear.

The Chaos energy filling the entire space was causing malfunctions in devices and magical artifacts.

The Dragon artifacts that Murakan described as shackles were turning off or shattering, and magicians, attempting to control the battleships, fell victim to the mana backlash in seconds.

Even the fired cannons didn’t even reach Gliek and disappeared into the Chaos.

Kelliark tried to control them using the Demon God Orb, but it wasn’t easy.

The terrified Demon God Orb couldn’t easily lend strength to Kelliark as before.

[The smell of… bitter hatred… fills the air…]

Slowly, Gliek lowered his head.

Soon, his two eyes turned towards where Jin was.

As soon as Jin made eye contact with him, he sensed the next moment.

That countless swords and spears would strike him.

Before he could even finish thinking about it, Jin raised his sword.

Stam, the Black Knights, and their companions also got into position.

The black swords, sharper and heavier than the Chaos they had fought so hard against, descended.

It wasn’t easy to accept the fact that those enormous swords and spears fell at such a speed that it was difficult to react.

Five attacks falling in rapid succession, it was impossible to know how the hell he would dodge or block them.

If Rosa and the Black Knights hadn’t shot sword energy, and Kelliark hadn’t supported them with magic, everything would have ended.

But they were still too far away.

Defense had its limits, and Gliek’s swords pressed on Jin with increasing intensity.

At a moment when they were about to fail one of the successive attacks, Jin could confirm that one of Gliek’s swords was suddenly turning gray.

Ron Hairan had lunged forward and stopped Gliek’s sword.
