Three days.
It was absolutely impossible for Chiron to arrive here within that time. In fact, not even ten days, but even a few months was not enough.
Chiron’s expedition had already entered the territory of the Kings Black Sea a long time ago, and they are the only ones in the world who know the way to it.
Even if Rosa and others knew the way, they couldn't reach the territory of the kings in a short period of time even with Mort's dimension travel ability.
‘Kinzelo…… what the hell do they want?’
Kinzelo, the only faction that knew the identity of the white stone.
Suddenly, a question popped into Rosa's mind. What are they trying to achieve by putting the world in danger of destruction?
Of course, it would not have been the end itself. It was only a while ago that Kinzelo lifted the stigma of being a third-rate terrorist group and emerged as a fourth force.
Even after their potential is revealed, they are recruiting members and raising their ranks in the same way as before.
However, those who were seduced by their forces and powers, from the bottom rowers to the real talents, were flocking to them incomparably more than before.
‘Their leader is convinced that this will not end the world. There is a high possibility that he did not think so because there is Chiron. He won't know that he's not leaving the Black Sea.'
The King of the Black Sea could not be killed without the power of genesis knight. Kinzelo, who was aware of the identity of the white stone, must have been aware of the fact that those gathered here knew it.
'Kinzelo probably has a means or something to stop Glyek.'
Then it was clear what they wanted.
Runcandel and Zipfel.
The decline or extinction of the two great clans that dividing the world.
Therefore, if Kinzelo participates in this battle, that point must be after the two clans are on the verge of being annihilated.
'I've been bitten by those bastards very well.'
Assuming all these guesses are correct. There was only one way to play a little less along with Kinzelo's plans, and that’s to retreat immediately.
Just in time, the Knights of Runcandel, excluding the Black Knights and the first division of the Black Sword association, were trying to escape by rescuing Jin's comrades.
'But what after the retreat?'
Runcandel, Zipfel, Hidden Palace, and Ron.
The moment even one of them leaves, the composition of the battlefield is bound to collapse quickly.
Kelliark will also retreat, and Talaris will be forced to remain because of the hidden palace mission and Ron because of revenge but they will surely die.
It does not require much imagination what will happen after a monster that the world's strongest martial artists and mages can't do anything about is released outside the world.
From then on, the great forces could not join hands again, and Glyek will regain his full original power without any interference.
It was not even possible to estimate how far the Black Sea transformation would go.
Beyond the territory of the Sword emperor castle and the Empire, there was no law saying that the land of Runcandel and Zipfel should not turn into the Black Sea. There is no way to stop the Black Sea for those who are currently fighting on the battlefield.
Therefore, retreats eventually only postpone the situation, and the expected cost was by no means small.
'I didn't expected the fate of the clan to take hold at such an unexpected moment.'
Even if Jin hadn't come to sword emperor castle, she wouldn't have been able to escape Kinzelo's trap.
The moment Rosa confirmed that Zipfel was obsessed with the white stone, Runcandel would have had no choice but to come here anyway.
In other words, it was bound to happen from the beginning.
'It's rather fortunate to have the youngest on the battlefield. If that special and enormous power that he shown at the end of the first battle can be used again, then it might become a variable.’
The mighty sword manifested through the will of Solderet and Kallum, the power of Gods.
Rosa had seen that power with her own two eyes. Its simple strength was clearly inferior to that of Chiron’s sword, but the magic sword used by Jin at the time was clearly imbued with the dignity of defying fate. Although it was an instant, the realm itself was like genesis knight.
'But if the youngest had been able to use that power again, he would have taken it out right away.'
It was not a situation where he could save the cards.
Boom! Boom-!
The Knights of Runcandel, who had managed to rescue the Vamel alliance, were breaking through the energy of chaos that blocked their retreat.
Rosa saw another children who was about to join them.
Myu and Anne.
The daughters who are presumed to have met the ‘Prophet’. Just like when they were in the barracks before Runcandel joined the war, they maintained their expressionless faces even now.
The moment she was thinking about asking them if the Prophet had foreseen this situation.
Myu and Anne approached Rosa first and whispered softly.
“Acting patriarch.”
“Speak.”
“Please reinstate the second flagbearer. Then the Prophet will help you.”
Rosa's eyes widened. No one else heard the voices of Myu and Anne. Soon Rosa looked at her daughters with a smile.
"Yeah, you are not bitches if you don't let me down."
Rosa's gaze looking down at Myu and Anne became dark. They bowed their heads, but unlike before, their faces were not filled with fear or shame.
“Get out of here. When I return to the clan, if even one of the 12th flagbearer comrades is dead, then you will be executed immediately.”
Rosa rejected Myu and Anne's proposal with a single stroke, as if it was not even worth hearing anymore.
Rather, she felt like her thoughts were sorted out thanks to the two people who openly spoke about the prophet's intentions.
'If the Prophet is just spreading lies to revive Joshua, there's no point in accepting it, and if she really has a way to stop the King of the Black Sea, then the clan won't perish anyway. She exists to fulfill the prophecy.'
Myu and Anne lowered their heads and retreated.
‘The 8th and 9th flagbearer of Runcandel? Were they in a position to say something to Rosa Runcandel at this point?'
Kelliark thought as he watched them.
'Prophet. It looks like Joshua fell and the 8th and 9th flagbearer became her messengers.'
He was also going through almost the same flow of thinking as Rosa. About Kinzelo's purpose and how to overcome this situation.
And Kelliark’s conclusion was the same as Rosa's. Even in his opinion, retreat was pointless.
'Because of Ron's transcendence, the Demon’s God’s orb has become more stable than before, but if it is not completed, then it cannot harm the king of the Black Sea anyway without completion. It is unlikely to assume that Kadun and Hedo join the battle while buying time, and sacrifice Veradin.’
It is impossible to complete the demon’s God’s orb if Glyek absorbs Jin here on this day.
That's why Kelliark had no choice but to get angry more than anyone else on the battlefield.
The battlefield was chaos itself.
Even in the midst of thinking, Glyek’s attacks were constantly pressing the humans.
The transformation of the Black Sea gradually accelerated, and Glyek showed no signs of backing down even after being cut dozens or hundreds of times by Ron's sword.
Jin, along with Murakan, was in charge of the rear of the knights escaping with the Vamel Alliance.
Kelliark’s gaze fell on him. In an instant, a thought came to mind in which Zipfel could benefit the most.
'I guess I'll have to secure Jin Runcandel and get out of here.'
Jin is obviously tired. It's not that difficult for Kelliark to subdue tired Jin in an instant. And if he secures Jin and escaped, and completed the Demon’s God’s orb, it would be possible to eliminate the King of the Black Sea in the future.
Is that all?
Runcandel will suffer near-destruction damage, Ron and master of hidden palace will die, and Kinzelo's plan will go awry.
On the other hand, it doesn’t matter how much damage Zipfel would suffered if only the Demon’s God’s orb would complete.
Perhaps, Glyek’s awakening could have been the greatest opportunity for Zipfel.
However, it was unreasonable for Kelliark to subdue and secure Jin right away. It was because Runcandel, Talaris, and Ron Hairan were holding on with their eyes wide open. When Kelliark tries to capture Jin, they can't stand still.
‘I will stop Glyek for the time being, but when Ron is done, and Rosa and Talaris are tired. I will subdue Jin Runcandel. The process will never be smooth.'
Although the situation is difficult, Jin will definitely find out about his plans, and he was never a great person to be defeated. Not only Rosa and Talaris, but even Ron, who had become a vengeful demon, would have predicted this much.
‘Does Rosa Runcandel have a separate belief? It seems that she rejected the proposals of the 8th and 9th flagbearers. Then it's Jin Runcandel’s turn to make a proposal to me.'
The knights of Runcandel opened the retreat.
“I wish you luck!”
“Good luck!”
In the end, the knights succeeded in escaping with the Vamel Alliance.
As soon as the knights left, the retreat path was blocked again. The wall of chaos imprisoning humans was getting thicker as time passed.
Ron and Talaris went into battle without thinking about the aftermath for revenge and mission, while Kelliark and Rosa are calculating the survival and profit of their own clan.
Jin's worries were in between.
Jin’s top priority was his comrades who had fled from the battlefield. So all that was left was for himself, his clan, and Ron and Talaris to survive.
Jin hadn't let go of Ron, to be exact, 'Hairan' yet. Even though Glyek had said that he had swallowed Dante's last consciousness, and Ron opened his sword of supreme ruler again.
It was because the moment he gave up Hairan, all the meaning of his coming to this battlefield disappeared.
That's why he had no intention of giving up on Hairan until the very end.
'Father can't able to come.'
The moment Jin heard the answer that it was three days from Talaris, he saw Rosa clenching her teeth.
‘And in the present situation, if I were Kelliark…… One way or another, I will somehow secure me and escape. That's the only best option Zipfel can choose.'
However, even if the plan was anticipated, it was difficult to come up with a way to stop it right away.
The current situation was such that everyone was holding each other's leash, and Kelliark had the most advantage.
That's why Jin had no choice but to throw a gambler.
First of all, lest Kelliark’s other thoughts.
“Sir Kelliark.”
Jin walked over to Kelliark and met his eyes.
“You know that in order to deliver a fundamental blow to the King of the Black Sea, the power of a genesis knight is needed. However, it is impossible for my father to come within three days, and maybe sir...… will see the opportunity and want to secure me and leave the battlefield.”
“What do you mean, Jin Runcandel?”
"Three days. While Madame Talaris can seal him away, let's negotiate with Kinzelo. So sir, please do everything in your power to assist Madame Talaris in opening the seal.”
Kelliark narrowed his brows.
As soon as he was about to answer something, Jin continued to say.
"If you do not comply with my offer, I will jump right in front of Glyek and die without dodging his sword."
Three days.
It was absolutely impossible for Chiron to arrive here within that time. In fact, not even ten days, but even a few months was not enough.
Chiron’s expedition had already entered the territory of the Kings Black Sea a long time ago, and they are the only ones in the world who know the way to it.
