The sky seemed to collapse at any moment from the roar of the two giants colliding. Truly absurd explosions and shocks were making the territory of Hairan no longer inhabitable.
Beasts and small creatures howled as they fled, buildings melted, forests turned to ash, and water veins boiled and evaporated from the aftermath of the flames and shattered swords that spread far, almost to the horizon.
Who can believe that this is a fight between one human being and the world's best mage.
In the meantime, the sword emperor castle is still there.
It maintained the form of a 'castle'. The tall and thick walls had not completely lost their function yet, and the enemies did not dare to enter even after seeing the broken gates.
Even the castle was almost the same as when Ron first came to consciousness and climbed the wall.
I have to save the place. The place where my grandson is struggling with the white stone alone can never be destroyed. The first thing the child sees after overcoming the stone shouldn't be the broken sword emperor castle.
Ron was defending the castle with such will.
His mouth was full of dried bloodstains, and his hair was scattered like degenerate.
His thin upper body was full of new wounds along with numerous scars that he get over his life, and his breathing was rough.
Even so, the two eyes staring at the enemy gleamed without trembling, and his beloved sword, Rashid, constantly emitted brilliance, causing vibrations throughout the sky.
The guardian of Hairan.
That is the sword emperor.
“Hey, Kelliark Zipfel. You are clearly losing, but...… seeing that you don’t talk about negotiations or run away, it seems that you have a way. Wouldn't it be better to get it out now?”
Even though it was a low voice, everyone on the battlefield could hear it.
The walls of sword emperor castle were lower, but the voices of the mages and dragons in Zipfel seemed to be coming from higher up in the sky.
As Ron took a step forward and slashed his sword, an invisible sword wind spread and scattered Kelliark’s great magic.
In the meantime, the Sword emperor secret technique, Heavenly isle, unfolded. A deep blue sword slashed through the center of the fleet, and Kelliark swung his hroti to offset most of it.
But it was a heavy blow. Ugh, he vomited blood, and his hand holding the wand was shaking.
Still like the first time, no. Even though he uses a greater mana than that. Ron showed no signs of giving way to him and his fleet to attack. As time went by, the fleet and dragons were falling one by one on Zipfel’s side.
'It's not an unexpected result...… but it's a terrible feeling.'
Are you saying the gap is this big…..?
Kelliark thought, swallowing the bitter lump that rose up in his throat. Ron's level was not an realm he had directly touched, so the result was just bittersweet.
Just as Ron fought while protecting the sword emperor castle, Kelliark was also not showing his full ability in fighting as he is protecting the Demon’s God’s orb from getting shocks.
But even taking that into account, Kelliark had no choice but to admit that he was completely defeated.
The Demon’s God’s orb has not yet been fully opened.
It was because of lack of mana. Kelliark had no energy to deal with Ron, who had become stronger, and Octavia and the spectres infiltrating the Sword Emperor Castle to secure the white stone, so the only remaining mages and dragons were being used to open the Demon’s God’s orb.
From beginning to end, it was all out of his reckoning.
Fortunately, the opening of the Demon’s God’s orb is just around the corner.
And Ron knew that too.
‘The fleet’s attack is not as strong as expected. The Demon’s God’s orb, perhaps he couldn't focus on the battle in order to use the item what Jin said.'
Although he said it as if he was relaxed, Ron was actually concerned about the power of the Demon’s God’s orb.
Kelliark and Zipfel didn't notice, but Ron was getting tired too.
The long struggle with the disease and the fight that continued inner side must have damaged his body. The transcendental martial arts and difference in class were only thing that hiding this fact from the enemies.
Ron himself was keenly aware of it.
‘A month, no. If only I had 15 more days...….’
I would have been able to fight flawlessly.
As it stands, if Kelliark pulls out his trump card, will I be able to handle it?
If not, how much longer can I hold out?
Ron was unable to answer that frustrating question. Just as Kelliark had never reached Ron's realm, the Demon’s God’s orb was completely unknown to him.
Ron only thought of his grandson.
'After fighting with a body like this, I know more desperately how painful you must have been... Grandson, this grandfather can now understand the path you have walked.'
He has to fight just as the grandson did. It was just something he had to fight for himself.
Swoosh...…!
Kozec’s main cannon was dyed golden. The cannon was fired following the trajectory left by Heavenly isle .
Ron swung Rashid and cut through the center of the cannonball. The fragments of the cannonball and the sword did not hit the ground and disintegrated in the air.
They don't know how many times such enormous and powerful forces have already collided.
Zipfels using less than half of it’s normal firepower while opening the Demon’s God’s orb, but the attacks of other mages and dragons except for Kelliark were barely visible.
Only Ron’s sword and Kelliark’s magic are covering the heavens and the earth.
Suddenly, the shape of a new power surged into the middle of the battlefield.
As if a great whirlpool was unfolding in the middle of the Great Sea, another force was crossing between the giants.
'The power that started on the ground?'
'This, no way.'
Kelliark and Ron also had no choice but to be distracted by the power for an instant.
Even while Octavia and the spectres were constantly using great magic, but their power never reached the sky.
In addition, the power shown to the giants was not light or natural attribute magic, but consisted of a special black blue flames and black energy.
The flames of Jin and Misha.
It was the magic sword that surprised the giants.
"Haha."
Ron let out an involuntary laugh. Even he, who had reached the verge of genesis knight, did not expect that a surprisingly great power would rise from the ground.
Kelliark, on the other hand, couldn't laugh. He didn't have the slightest amount of time while deal with Ron, but Jin and Misha’s flames that reached the sky was spreading its black magic even to Zipfel’s fleet.
Sarah's runes, which were rewritten as shadow force, began to leave black light like tumors throughout the fleet's formation.
“Avoid it!”
Kelliark gave orders to avoid it and not block it. Even before the order was given, those who felt an ominous intuition immediately maneuvered to evade, but those who could not afford Ron's attack did not even see the small runes properly.
Kelliark hurriedly opened a protective shield against them, but the fire of the blue flames were already gushing like mad.
It was a type of fire that everyone had never seen before. Nor did anyone know that the name of the flames was a conviction to punish Zipfel’s work. All they could know was this. This fire, which never easily goes out or disappears, started from the Runcandel 12th flagbearer on the ground.
It was a long time ago that the shadow force and the real blue flames became the symbol of Jin.
Each of the mages in the fleet is the best of Zipfel. Instead of panicking, they seemed to be struggling to push the flames out somehow, so the progress of the fire wasn't very fast.
'Most of the power should have been directed at Octavia and the spectres, but is the aftermath this much?'
It's true that Kelliark held Jin in high esteem, but Jin could never unleash this power on his own.
‘Murakan, or Misha. It must have been the result of one of the two helping Jin with all its might. Jin Runcandel must have used most of his strength.'
It was as if the battle on the ground had already ended.
If Octavia and the spectres block it, the result would be Zipfel’s victory, and if not, the sword emperor's side would win.
Kelliark wasn't sure which one would win. The peculiarity of the power called shadow force could not be accurately measured even by a mage like him.
Besides, Kelliark had other issues to deal with first.
[This…… Sarah…… Runcandel's...…!]
Wind Dragon Salion.
He was a dragon who proved that the power of the stories was weakening by unconsciously mentioning the 'ten great knights' when the second battle started.
Now, beyond his subconscious, he clearly felt the nightmares of those days. How many people and mages have been killed by this terrible flame of hell...… he remembered clearly.
The figure of that monstrous Flame Emperor, Sarah Runcandel.
As Salion became agitated, the other dragons also began to show signs of seizures.
The aftermath of the battle, the instinctive fear of the Demon’s God’s orb suppressed by the necklace, and the voice of Salion are awakening forgotten stories from them.
[Run away, run away. Aagh!]
Kelliak hit Hroti in Salion’s back. It was better to stun him, lest he accelerate the undermining of the power of the stories.
The lack of power will be further reduced, but it was nothing compared to the aftermath when the power of the stories was further damaged.
'Anyway, if I hold on a little longer, the Demon’s God’s orb will be opened.'
Within the next 30 minutes.
Kelliark raised his mana once more. The front was full of Ron's sword.
* * *
Phi-!
Octavia heard a sharp tinnitus ringing in her ears. It was as if someone had ripped open her brain and messed with it.
'How…… how did...….’
There was no feeling in her limbs. There was no cut. It was just that her body did not listen to her words due to the extreme shock of flames, and for a moment Octavia remembered the moment when the blue flames attacked her.
'Did we block it? What happened to them? Damn it, my memory.'
She couldn't remember very well.
Soon, when she barely moved her hand and reflexively touched her face, Octavia realized that her own left eye had disappeared.
That was an area she could not recover with light magic.
'Does that mean I... lost?'
Without a chance to be shocked, someone flew to the by her side and fall down. It was one of the Gray Robes and a spectre, and it had already passed away.
Only then did Octavia realize that they were fighting to protect her from the enemies.
She also knew that without them, she would have died on the spot and never even opened her one remaining eye.
The sky seemed to collapse at any moment from the roar of the two giants colliding. Truly absurd explosions and shocks were making the territory of Hairan no longer inhabitable.
