As soon as Glyek woke up, the battle outside naturally ended. Kelliark and Ron, both of them have no choice but to stop the energy of chaos that hit the battlefield.
Runcandel, who had been watching the situation, could not stay still any longer.
As soon as Glyek woke up, his power spread its influence even to the location where Runcandel was hiding, and the option of escape was not available.
It was because Jin was inside it. Although Rosa waited for Zipfel and Hairan to face defeat or came for negotiations, but in Rosa's calculations Jin's death was absolutely excluded.
Above all.
Those on the battlefield could intuitively recognize Glyek as soon as he awoke.
The fact that if they failed to put an end to awakened King of the Black Sea here, then the next step will surely be the end of the world or a catastrophe equivalent to it.
Rosa and Kelliark also realized why Kinzelo had never been involved in this important fight.
'Kinzelo, they knew that white stone was the king of the Black Sea.'
‘…… now I get it why Ron Hairan fall into such a serious internal injury. Was it because the King of the Black Sea reacted to the energy of the leader of Kinzelo that’s left in Ron's wounds?'
Rosa and Kelliark, the two of them gritted their teeth, thought.
Both were correct. Kinzelo knew the identity of the white stone, so they called it a bomb, and Ron's injury was deepened as Glyek reacted to the powers of Kinzelo’s leader.
Roaring-!
Bue flames gushed from the chaos on the ground. As soon as Rosa and Kelliark saw the fire, they sighed in relief inwardly.
It was because the flames were proof that Jin is still alive.
Rosa had to save Jin. Now Jin has become the influential next patriarch externally in place of Joshua, and if she lost Jin, then information about Hister and Temar will be lost again.
Kelliark also needed to save Jin. If Jin just dies, he'll somehow be able to retrieve the Solderet’s powers, but it's a different story if he gets 'absorbed' by the King of the Black Sea.
Kelliark will be unable to complete the ‘Demon’s God’s orb’ forever.
A storm of chaos raged.
The Demon’s God’s orb hanging from the sky trembled with a distorted face. Kiii, kiii...… A low, terrified voice blended into the chaos and faded away.
What the Demon’s God’s orb feared was not Ron, but Glyek. Many of the gods sealed in Demon’s God’s orb made it themselves...… The fragments of the Orb of Origin that they broke themselves because they could not handle the power.
Sureng!
Rosa's sword, 'Frenzy', was dyed white aura and caused a sharp resonant sound. A haze-like aura protected the Runcandel knights behind her.
Unlike Talaris, Rosa was able to fight without any restrictions. Thanks to her enlightenment after Jin's patriarch declaration, she was able to unleash a sword comparable to current Ron.
Blazing blades cut through the incoming chaos, and the knights of Runkandel followed her step by step into the storm, slowly forming a formation.
In the sky, Kelliark and Zipfel’s fleet was slowly descending to the ground, penetrating the chaos.
The fact that all of them moved to save Jin was definitely something that no one on the battlefield expected.
If Tess hadn't been summoned, Jin wouldn't have prevented the loss of some of his allies.
Blue flames were forming a barrier in place of the broken White frost pattern on front.
The power that Tess is exerting now far exceeded the day when he destroyed the Dark Mage Society with a single roar, but now the opponent is Glyek.
More than defense was unreasonable. Tess didn't know how long even he could go through the unstable catalyst of chaos.
“Whoa, whoa…!”
Breathing heavily, Talaris lifted her head and looked ahead. Maintaining white realm has now reached its limit, and she retracts her sword, trusting Jin, Tess, and the Black Knights.
At the same time, all of white frost patterns were broken, and Stam and the Black Knights took her place and stepped forward.
‘The black energy that touches the blade is as heavy as a mountain. However, the master of the hidden palace is not a person who will exhaust all her strength to this extent, so why is she so tired?'
Talaris spit blood and looked at the backs of the black knights.
“I need time to amplify my energy. Until then, hold out somehow, Stam. It'll be difficult to break through the retreat anyway, so don't think about taking only Jin.”
“I understand, master of hidden palace.”
Talaris sat down. Then, dozens of white portals opened around her, and from within her, an energy far exceeding the power that Talaris had used so far flowed out and began to surround her.
'As expected, there was still strength remained.'
However, the situation was still unfavorable. Stam and the Black Knights are also feeling it. The fact that the energy of chaos is targeting Jin.
Why is that targeting me?
Jin had no time to question such things. He had already experienced through Yona that more than a certain level of chaos reveals it’s hostility towards him.
Jin moved his steps to Stam's side.
“The 12th flagbearer.”
“We will stop it together. We have to hold out until they clear a retreat path from the outside, so Sir Stam's mission won't be hindered.”
Bradamante, imbued with blue flames, mingled with the swords of the Black Knights and began to cut through chaos.
Murakan and Misha also squeezed out their remaining strength and opened the shadowless spear and the curtain, and the comrades who had even a little bit of strength left seemed to be clearing out the chaos they couldn't filter out.
Everyone didn't say a word. Only the roar and vibration of the clash between the sword and chaos echoed through Tess's flames.
Gradually.
The storm of chaos faded. However, the knights felt that it was not because the Black Sea King's power had weakened, but that it was the result of his complete awakening and organising his power.
This vast power that turned the whole battlefield into chaos in an instant was just the eve.
The real thing will start from now on.
[Ahhh….]
Everyone on the battlefield could hear the voice clearly. An indescribably terrifying feeling pierced the hearts of the knights and mages.
And the storm of chaos stopped. The energy of chaos that swirled like crazy and stirred the battlefield stopped in place like a painting.
It was only at that moment that people were able to face the reality of Glyek, the King of the Black Sea.
A dark and massive ghost.
The two crushed feet did not touch the ground, but were firmly fixed in the air, and the hundreds of arms attached to the torso were all aimed in all directions while holding spears and swords.
Each of those arms was thick and long enough to be comparable to the spire of the broken sword emperor castle, and the weapons covered the whole sky.
Even the face of the Demon’s God’s orb seemed small compared to it, and the fleet floating in front of them looked like flying insects.
They can't believe that it came out of that small stone...… A huge mass of abyss was looking down at the humans.
However, black eyes were shaking unsteadily just like a tree in storm.
If you look closely without being intimidated by the majesty, you can find a sense of twist somewhere in every part of Glyek that way.
For some reason, he didn't fully wake up. Human world is a land where Glyek should not exist, and he has been sealed away for too long.
However, that fact could not comfort those gathered on the battlefield. In the first place, most people didn’t even aware that Glyek was released in an incomplete state.
‘That…… King of the Black Sea?'
5 kings of the Black Sea.
The first time Jin heard about them was when Myuron Zipfel was facing its end.
-I was once the lover of the witch Helluram, the one who shared a glass with the kings at the Tigris mountain, west of the Black Sea...….
At the time of the Colon Incident, a spell casted by Myuron, who was using darkness magic to be possess by the demon king Orgal for the last time.
Since that day, Jin has not heard any information about the king of Black Sea anywhere. Even when Talaris explained the chaos directly, she didn't tell him about the kings of Black Sea.
But as soon as Jin faced Glyek’s figure, he knew instinctively.
The fact that this terrible being is the reason his father is so obsessed with the Black Sea.
“I expected it to be part of the chaos and item left behind by Helluram, but Glyek!”
Like Kelliark, Misha also expected the white stone to be the chaos and item of Helluram, not the Black Sea King.
Unlike Misha, whose face turned white, Murakan seemed to be hearing the name Glyek for the first time. But whether he knows the name or not. It didn't matter.
The problem the party faced was survival.
[I woke up…… from a long sleep…… but I’m…… far away…. from my brothers.]
Aaaah-!
Before Glyek could finish his words, a roar erupted from the sky. Zipfel’s fleet, excluding Kozec, malfunctioned and opened fire.
The cannons of the flying ship is realized through the mage’s magic.
However, Kelliark did not give the order to fire, and the most elite mages of Zipfel aboard the ship did not lose their minds in fear.
The energy of chaos that filled the entire space was causing malfunction in magic devices and artifacts.
Dragons with artifacts that Murakan described as shackles blacked out or crashed, and mages, trying to control the ships, fell into a mana backflow in seconds.
Even the fired cannonballs did not even reach Glyek and disappeared in the chaos of the air.
Kelliark tried to control them using the Demon’s God’s orb, but it wasn't easy. The Demon’s God’s orb, which was so frightened, was not able to give strength to Kelliark as easily as before.
[Enemy…… is only full of…… vicious smell....]
Slowly, Glyek lowered his head.
Soon, his two eyes headed to where Jin was standing. As soon as Jin made eye contact with him, he intuited the next moment.
That countless swords and spears would strike him down. Before he could finish thinking about it, Jin raised his sword. Stam, the Black Knights, and their comrades also took stance.
A black blade sharper and heavier than the chaos they had fought so hard was falling.
It was not easy to accept the fact that those huge swords and spears fell at such a speed that it was difficult to react.
Five attacks that fell in quick succession, it was impossible to know how the hell he avoided or blocked them. If Rosa and the Black Knights would fired sword and Kelliark hadn't supported them with magic, the end would have been the same.
But they are still too far away. Coverage was limited, and Glyek’s swords pressed Jin harder and harder.
Almost missed one of the attacks that followed.
Jin was able to confirm that a sword of Glyek, which had come close to him, suddenly turned gray.
Ron Hairan, he rushed in and slashed Glyek’s sword.
As soon as Glyek woke up, the battle outside naturally ended. Kelliark and Ron, both of them have no choice but to stop the energy of chaos that hit the battlefield.
Runcandel, who had been watching the situation, could not stay still any longer.
As soon as Glyek woke up, his power spread its influence even to the location where Runcandel was hiding, and the option of escape was not available.
