Chapter 662

C662

Beyond the door was not the interior of the cave where they had entered the tomb, but a scene of the Kaldran snowfield.

And Jin realized, as soon as they came out, that another urgent situation awaited them.

‘I had expected this, but it seems quite a bit of time has passed outside.’

The landscape of the Kaldran Snowfield had changed.

The snow, which previously reached their knees, was now completely black, and the oppressive gray snowstorm had turned into a coal-black chaos.

“Is the entire snowfield dyed in chaos?”

There wasn’t a single spot in sight that wasn’t dark, and the chaotic snowstorm was so maddening that even those unaccustomed to it would probably lose their minds just by being exposed to it.

Kiehek, kaaak-!

Moreover, the roars of the chaotic dragons shook the sky.

When Jin looked up, the Dragon was breathing black breath like an artillery bombardment towards the ground.

On the ground, there were also knights consumed by chaos and monsters that could only be seen in the Black Sea, writhing back and forth.

[Jin, I can’t create more dimensional portals… You seem tired too, what should we do?]

Neru was already struggling to stay still since Jin had discovered him.

To open a dimensional portal requires a great amount of energy or the Cat God’s Claws, but neither is available.

“It’s okay, Neru. I still have enough strength to break through this level of encirclement. And…”

Jin paused, closing his eyes and focusing his senses.

His senses detected other powers amidst the chaos filling the entire snowfield.

Aura, mana, and demonic energy.

They were undoubtedly the powers of those fighting to save them.

“It seems there are people fighting to save us. If we join forces with them, we should be able to escape without any problems. I’ll explain everything about you and Valeria after we escape and have some time to calm down.”

[Really? Did you tell your companions before entering the tomb?]

“Not just my companions, but also Zipple and Kinzelo, with whom I formed a temporary alliance.”

[Zipple and Kinzelo?]

“They are good friends to have in a situation like this.”

[Nyaa!]

Jin summoned Shuri, placed Neru on her, and tied up the sealed Valeria.

The non-chaotic energy did not gather in one place.

North, East, West. Jin decided it would be better to make his location known to them and gather them in one place if possible.

If we gather and someone like Rosa or someone of her level comes and we can’t escape, it will be a problem.

Jin did not perceive too many allies.

That meant that the allies who came to save Jin consisted of only a small number of elites from each faction.

Therefore, Jin decided that the best course of action would be to first make his presence known to the weaker allies.

Of course, those Jin had to find first were the Tikanese.

Since Talaris was injured, it was likely that the elite of Tikan was relatively weak.

Depending on the situation, it might be better for Jin to rescue them and then join forces with other factions.

“To the East.”

The most familiar energy was in the east.

When Shuri began to run, the eyes of all the nearby monsters focused on them.

Before Jin could even unleash his sword or magic, Shuri shot a mana ray that disintegrated the demons without a trace.

[Nyaa!]

Fortunately, as they headed east, they did not encounter any remaining chaotic forces.

In less than 15 minutes of running, Jin was able to reunite with the Tikan companions who were fighting.

“Valkas-nim!”

Valkas and Amela, Lata, and Yulian.

From Tikan, four people were in charge of searching the Kaldran snowfield.

“My lord! Old Valkas, protect the lord! Oh, and who is this cute little one!”

“My lord! My lord, you have rescued Valeria…!”

As Jin feared, they were struggling quite a bit.

The corpses of chaotic entities that seemed to be monsters and knights were literally forming black rivers and mountains around them.

“We don’t have time, Valkas-nim. Please explain the situation first.”

“It has been five days since you entered the tomb, my lord. The Garden of Swords has not directly attacked Tikan or any other faction, but the Kaldran Snowfield has been completely contaminated.”

Despite the lack of transcendent chaotic entities, they were struggling due to the endless waves of chaos they faced after arriving at the Kaldran Snowfield.

“It’s fortunate that there wasn’t a direct attack from the Garden of Swords. Were there any casualties?”

“There were no casualties among the Vamel alliance. The allies probably had a similar situation, though they might have lost some living golems and plutonian-type golems.”

According to Valkas’ report, transcendent chaotic entities did not appear on the side of the Vamel Alliance.

Instead, monsters at the level of inner core monsters had been appearing throughout the snowfield for several days.

“If Rosal knew that I escaped from the tomb, she might send some powerful beings immediately. How did you decide to escape after finding me?”

“We decided to use the dimensional door of the leader.”

“Alright, let’s go!”

As soon as Jin joined them, the mood of the Tikan group changed.

It wasn’t just because Jin’s well-being was confirmed.

Despite being nearly exhausted from opening the tomb and fighting Luntia, Jin had no difficulty sweeping away the ordinary chaotic beings that appeared every few seconds with the flames emanating from his hands.

He tried to make the knights suffer as little as possible before meeting their end.

Kinzelo and Zipple were positioned to the northwest.

Shuri, carrying the entire group, grew increasingly anxious as they could encounter other forces.

The first they encountered were Hedo and Sandra, who had separated from Zipple and the others while searching for Jin.

Naturally, it was because Sandra caused a commotion.

She insisted that she couldn’t rescue Jin in such an underwhelming manner (Zipple was seriously searching for Jin) and had left with Hedo to act separately as soon as they arrived back at the snowfield.

“Dear! Is that really Jin? It is Jin, right, Hedo?”

“Correct, it is the Twelfth Flagbearer, so please stop pulling on my clothes, milady.”

“I told you we had to move separately. The fools of my clan still don’t know my Jin has returned.”

“Milady and I just found out. We didn’t even come to find him. It was the Twelfth Flagbearer who found us.”

“Jin!”

Sandra ran towards Jin, intending to hug him on Shuri, but Jin unconsciously dodged her.

Thanks to that, Sandra could only fall on Valeria, who was tied behind Jin.

Kang!

The sound of ice clashing against someone’s head echoed throughout the area.

“Damn it! If I had been a bit quicker, I could have hugged you… Ha! This woman is so, so precious that she almost made us disappear from the world… I want to destroy her, no, no, Sandra, for now, you should be glad that Jin has returned safely!”

With that, even Sandra climbed onto Shuri’s back.

Since Shuri possessed tremendous power that could destroy a mountain given time, the weight of so many people wasn’t heavy, but sometimes Shuri turned her head as if uncomfortable.

Due to his large size, Hedo couldn’t ride on Shuri’s back and hung from her side. Although it didn’t look good, Hedo seemed unconcerned.

“It seems you’ve made it, Twelfth Flagbearer.”

“Yes, Tower Guardian. I’ll show you my gratitude when we return. I’m also curious about your sword. I think you’re the same, Tower Guardian.”

“Jin, and me?”

“Thanks to you too, Sandra.”

“If you had told me you were very grateful, I would have extended the two days left of the woman trapped in the ice’s life. But now, I’ll aim myself.”

“Thank you very much.”

“Kya kya kya, that’s how it should be!”

Jin, Valeria, Neru, Valkas, Amela, Lata, Yulian, Sandra, and Hedo rode on Shuri as she once again moved forward with vigor. However, it wasn’t long before Shuri had no choice but to pick a new person.

“Dear, who is that guy who looks dead? Who is he?”

“He’s a Demon named Ranke Halovice, Sandra.”

Ranke Halovice. Judging by his state, he seems to have become “Furious Ranke,” but has collapsed from the exhaustion of dealing with inner core class chaos monsters for several days.

“There’s not enough space, should we leave them? No, if we take them with us, I’ll be able to get closer to Jin and the ice piece will be further away. Hedo!”

Whoosh!

Hedo caught Ranke and threw him onto Shuri’s back. Valkas roughly tied him with a rope.

In this way, more and more people continued to board Shuri or hang onto her.

“Bouvard Gaston? He’s not even combat personnel, why did Kinzelo bring him?”

“Hedo!”

Whoosh!

“…Ainas Kaligo? Oh, no wonder Bouvard is here.”

“Hedo!”

Whoosh! Clank clank.

“I don’t know his name, but he seems to be the leader of a White Wolf Tribe assault team or something.”

“Hedo!”

Whoosh!

By the time they got near Orgal, Shuri was carrying about twenty people running like fruits.

Sandra, who was stuck to Jin, seemed almost flattened like a pancake, and Shuri seemed really tired.

And the personnel clinging to Jin and Shuri, in front of Orgal, realized why they had only been able to deal with the chaotic bodies until now.

Orgal and Zephyrin were dealing with Lionel, Stam, and the old unknown black knights.

‘Orgal… What a wonderful being. I know it wouldn’t be the end of Lionel, but I didn’t expect him to appear already. And all these corpses seem to be transcendent chaotic entities.’

However, Orgal looked tired. As soon as he saw Jin, he smiled and waved.

[Oh… Just when I thought it was my limit, you appear at a good time, Jin Runcandel. It seems you’ve found your lover.]

“No, was it me whom Jin saved? You’re saying something wrong.”

[Now that the truly unruly guy was about to come out, that’s great. Let them flee immediately.]

Orgal said while deflecting Lionel’s sword.

Lionel was panting, having lost an arm.

[You think you can flee, demon!]

As soon as Lionel finished speaking, the steel door opened between the group and Orgal.

At the same time, the chaos door opened on the opposite side.

“By the way, Orgal, what’s with Zipple?”

[I never thought Runcandel would ask to take Zipple with him. It’s better to tell those friends to return on their own.]

“Well, even if it’s just a temporary alliance, we are still allies, so shouldn’t we at least inform them of the escape plan?”

“Let’s go first! That person coming out of that door looks really strong!”

“Milady, Zipple is the name of their clan.”

“So what? Jin looks about to die anyway.”

The one coming out of the chaos door was none other than Padler Runcandel.

Orgal also raised his head as if to say, “Look at that,” and Jin nodded.

[I’ll shoot a signal flare.]

“Good idea. Shuri, to the steel door.”

[JIN… RUNCANDEL…]

Padler spoke in a dark voice.

Just before he came out of the chaos door, fortunately, Shuri managed to throw herself through the steel door with the many people she carried, unscathed.

Orgal and Zephyrin followed her example and ran to the steel door, and Padler could only watch them disappear through the door.
