In the deepest abyss on the surface, the sound of a weeping that illuminated the darkest corners of the human heart resonated. Ron's transparent tears were infused with light.
"Because... because I was fooled."
Dante repeated the same words with blank eyes.
He was overcome with guilt rather than joy at the fact that two people more precious than his own life, his grandfather and Jin, had arrived here to save him.
Because of that he couldn't stop blaming himself. While imprisoned in Glyek's unconsciousness, Dante felt everything that was happening outside.
It was not possible to examine the exact details of the entire situation because he was chained to the abyss, but at least it was clear that Glyek had killed Ron, destroyed Hairan, desecrated this land, and tried to devour his friends, and realised all of those terrible things.
Dante thought all of that was the price of not being able to beat Glyek.
If only he had endured a bit more, if only he had not succumbed at the last moment, if only he had not been so foolish and weak in that one instant...!
He resented himself. It's all his fault, but he's driven mad with resentment that he can't stand upright on his own, let alone have the power to undo everything.
"Don't say that, Dante. No one could have handled it as well as you did. The fact that I and your friend could come this far is all thanks to you..."
Ron said, wiping away Dante's tears.
"So, it's okay to rely on this old man and your friend now. If it weren't for you, no one could have survived."
Dante lost consciousness and was unable to answer. His breath was labored, his pulse weak, and his body was covered in black traces left by the chaos.
But there was no threat to his life. There will be some traces of chaos encroaching on him like Jin, but there were no fatal internal injuries.
If he gets some treatment and rest outside, he will be able to recover as much as he wants.
However, there was one thing left to do. To put an end to Glyek, the Fifth King of Chaos.
Ron lifted Dante and put on Jin's back. He could feel it. Soon, the final battle of this war would begin.
The fact that Ron and Jin reached the abyss of Glyek also accelerated its awakening.
Originally, Glyek would have taken the control of the unconsciousness naturally as the black sea was formed, but he was awakening faster than expected because the two trampled the abyss.
"The attack will begin soon. Take Dante and somehow get out of here."
The end of the abyss began to sway unstably.
An energy bigger and more ferocious than the storms of chaos that they had experienced while crossing here shook the space where they stood.
Although Ron eventually reached the genesis knight and rescued Dante.
To end the war, he has to deal with Glyek. Jin felt sorry for the fate of Ron and Hairan, who still had to fight after overcoming so many hardships and death.
Kiii-!
In every corner of the abyss, chaos was seething like a plague. It turned into swords and spears and continued to stab from below, but it was blocked by Ron's protective shield and could not enter.
Ron raised his sword and gazed into the center of the abyss.
The unsealed white stone was vibrating. Ron couldn't take his eyes off the white stone for a moment.
"From now on, I will deal with you not as Dante's grandfather, but as the Sword Emperor of Hairan...."
Saying this, Ron slowly swung Rashid.
Looking at the speed of the sword slowly falling towards the white stone, it seemed like it could cut anything. Like Chiron's sword, which Jin faced before becoming a flagbearer, it had the enlightenment and weight of the genesis knight.
Jin seemed to be able to see the expression of Glyek, the white stone facing the sword. A face twisted with anger and fear.
On the other hand, of course there was no more madness in Ron.
He had an absolute gaze unique to those who reached the genesis knight, that was to say, he had a look that said that there was neither one who could defeat him nor the one he could not defeat.
Crack!
The white stone cracked as Ron's sword touched it. It started to fall apart like cheap jewels breaking apart.
The blade continued to slowly cut through the white stone.
Aaaaaaaa...…!
Then, Glyek's distant scream from a distance was heard again. It seemed to express agony, as if the slow cutting process was unbearable.
The more Ron focused on Rashid, the stronger the swords of chaos that pressed the shield became. As a result, the protective shield gradually became narrower, but there was not a single spear that penetrated through it.
Glyek seemed to be concentrating all his power into the abyss.
Jin felt a nauseating sensation as he realized that Glyek still possessed such power.
Glyek also felt the same way about Ron.
"Sir Ron!"
Jin shouted. It was because he had suddenly seen Ron coughing up blood.
The 10% light given to Jin right after he reached the genesis knight and the energy consumed while breaking through the abyss were putting a strain on his body.
Ron nodded as if to assure Jin that he was okay.
The limitations of the body were no hindrance to the genesis knight. Just as chaos was only a form of the king of the Black Sea, the body of the genesis knight was merely a means to embody their enlightenment.
Even though he vomited blood, Ron's swordsmanship was not disturbed at all. The spilled blood soon evaporated in his aura and disappeared without a trace.
By then, there was only a gap of about one step left between the protective shield and the sword of chaos. The white stone was split in half first, or the shield was broken. Jin wasn't worried about the latter at all.
Like that thought, eventually Rashid's blade split the white stone in half first. In the place where the stone had been floating, only the glowing trail that Ron slowly drew remained.
For over a thousand years, Hairan had silently protected the world, and now, at last, the moment had come.
The white stone was finally cut down.
And Ron and Jin could feel the light of the world tickling their eyes, not the darkness of chaos.
Finally, they stepped out from the abyss into the outside world. However, the brilliance of the light wasn't as bright and dazzling as they had expected.
It was because the sky where the light was supposed to shine was still shrouded in chaos. The light was faint, like the grass that sprouted sparsely in the wasteland.
The barrier of chaos was also stronger than it was first formed when Glyek woke up, and Jin was conscious of the fact that heat and poison were everywhere.
'As expected, the battle continued outside as well.'
A whole day had passed since Jin and Ron entered the subspace of Glyek.
And those who fought outside were unaware of what had happened to the two. There was no way for them to ascertain whether they had been captured or had perished.
"Ugh, 12th flagbearer, huff, 12th flagbearer confirmed alive!"
One of the black knights breathed heavily and shouted.
Runcandel had not given up on Jin. However, most of the knights couldn't help but think of the possibility that Jin was unlikely to be alive, just like Dante, who was absorbed by Glyek.
Besides, if he was alive, he would remain inside Glyek, but there was no person with the power of genesis knight in the battlefield outside, so they couldn't penetrate it. It was impossible to even get rid of the barrier of chaos that protected Glyek even after slashing and cutting.
But, out of nowhere, the barrier collapsed by itself, and Jin appeared. Even Rosa opened her eyes wide, inwardly sighing with relief.
[Kid…!]
Murakan shouted as he rushed towards Jin.
However, because of the awls of chaos rising from the floor, it was not easy to approach Jin, and he seemed on the verge of losing control.
Murakan now had only one thought: he must take Jin and escape, regardless of the situation that would unfold afterward.
Kelliark had similar thoughts to Murakan. It seemed that even if Glyek was resolved by negotiating with Kinzelo in the future, he would have to secure Jin and leave the battlefield. Even if the world was in danger of being destroyed.
"12th flagbearer...!"
Rosa also extended her sword and leaped forward, and Kelliark followed suit. The corpses of knights and mages were trampled under their feet.
However, Talaris, who was as concerned about Jin as they were, could not easily approach Jin. She was barely holding her own as her entire body was covered in blood.
Elona Zipfel was the reason why her sealing had been suspended until now. Talaris had been fighting without being able to use most of her power.
The reason why Talaris overturned the release of Elona Zipfel's seal was no different.
Ron Hairan.
It was because he disappeared with Jin. If it's Ron, if only that stupid old man comes to his senses...… It was because of the expectation that a miracle might happen again. Talaris thought that breaking the seal of Elona Zipfel should be postponed even if there was hope as small as a grain of rice.
"Youngest!"
Rosa, who was heading towards Jin, shouted with a sharp voice. There were about a hundred steps left between them, but suddenly she saw chaos like a tsunami attacking Jin.
It was by no means the energy that Jin can handle. If she couldn't block it, his whole body would be torn to pieces and he would disappear without a trace.
Amidst the horror and despair of those who sought to save Jin,
Suaaaaaa...!
They witnessed a single shining blade cleaving through the chaos, splitting it in half that attacked Jin.
Then, as the tsunami of chaos cleared, people could see the sight of Jin carrying Dante, and even the appearance of Ron Hairan standing tall next to him.
At that point, everyone paused for a moment and doubted their eyes.
Especially the giants like Rosa, Kelliark, and Talaris were shocked to see Ron. To the point where they even forgot their eagerness to reach Jin in an instant.
'Ron Hairan has reached the domain of genesis knight!'
'Really, genesis knight... Besides, even Dante Hairan...…!'
The giants' heartbeats raced as if about to burst.
Even if all human history was combined, there were less than 10 people who have the power of genesis knight. Even including both the old and the current ones who's history was erased by Zipfel.
In particular, the giants of this era thought that another genesis knight could not appear because the world already had one genesis knight named Chiron.
They were convinced that the difference between Chiron and them was so great that they could not overcome it even if they devoted their entire remaining life to it. Even Chiron predicted that Ron would be more likely to become a monster than to reach the genesis knight domain.
Chaos attacked Jin several times even after being blocked, but was blocked by Ron's sword and returned to nothing.
And looking at the fragments of chaos falling like flesh, Ron said:
"Glyek... There is nothing more you can take from here. Not even your own life."
章節 413: CHAPTER 572
[Read more chapters and support me here :- https://ko-fi.com/punisher87 ]
After Jin and Ron disappeared into subspace, the battlefield outside became in a state of defeat in an instant.
This is because Glyek has shown greater strength than before he was sealed in the magical seal of Hidden Palace.
Glyek had judged that all the variables that humans could expect were blocked. In a battle that lasted through the day, the giants were unable to do any damage to Glyek.
Like in the beginning, they couldn't even attempt an attack properly. They couldn't cause fundamental damage to Glyek and his energy was strong, so they were in a hurry to protect their allies.
It was like the sea, which eventually regained its true form no matter how much it was cut.
They couldn't make him tired, and they couldn't open the magical seal again, so the war flowed only bleakly.
Until Ron, Jin and Dante return. The only time Glyek stopped attacking was when Ron was cutting the white stone that's left in its abyss.
It was only a matter of time before the giants of Zipfel, Runcandel, and Hidden Palace could have died in battle.
Kelliark had been thinking of retreating, but even that seemed unlikely because of the transformation of the Black Sea.
In such a situation, Ron gained the power of genesis knight and returned to the battlefield. That too with Jin and Dante.
How the hell was Ron able to reach genesis knight domain in such a short time, and what happened while he disappeared with Jin?
The giants didn't know, but one thing was clear.
The fights from now on will never be as absurd as it has been until now.
Glyek is being hit.
The brilliant sword spreading like a whirlwind protected Jin and Dante like a barrier.
The energy of chaos seemed to be unable to approach the shield as easily as beasts in front of fire.
[How... What have you done? Ron Hairan.]
Glyek's gloomy voice still has the energy to terrorize humans by itself.
But giants, no. Even the others on the battlefield who had not yet reached the realm of transcendence felt it.
That there was fear in his voice. Glyek flinched every time when Ron swung his sword.
Glyek's body was about to be comparable to the sword emperor castle that was destroyed, but Ron standing in front of him seemed even bigger.
"That's what I'm going to ask. What have you been doing up until now, to my Hairan."
Whoa-!
Rashid resonated intensely.
The formless sword, the enlightenment that symbolizes the Sword Emperor Ron Hairan.
The sword continued to lose its pure form after the beginning of the Sword Emperor castle battle.
As the situation became more difficult, it lost its transparent color and turned gray, and when he fell in chaos, it was dyed black with chaos and even stabbed his own allies.
Now, Ron's swordsmanship, which had begun pouring from Rashid, was formless again.
However, the reason why his swordsmanship is invisible is not just because his swordsmanship is as great as before.
Just as those who did not climb to the genesis knight realm could not recognize the light of the genesis knight, Ron's new formless sword was the same. Therefore, the current formless sword is just an invisible swordsmanship to the vast majority of humans.
To someone like Chiron Runcandel, it will look like a sword that shines even brighter than that...… Glyek also saw it that way.
Glyek cringed at the bright flash that seemed to blind him. Just by looking at it, he felt as if his entire body would be torn apart and disappear somewhere.
"Answer me."
Ron said while making eye contact with Glyek. Then, following his will, the swords of the genesis knight rushed into his body.
[Kaaaaaaa…!]
Glyek struggled in pain and let out a scream. The formless sword was dissolving the chaos that formed it into particles.
A calm storm.
Those who knew Ron's intangible sword couldn't help but think of such a strange expression. A power as vast as the sea is tearing Glyek apart, but they can't see it at all.
Even the giants couldn't accurately recognize how the formless sword energy was flowing.
"I don't think you have anything to say. If so, I will recite it for you."
Squeak-!
Ron swung his sword and cut off five or six of Glyek's arms, which he reflexively extended.
"White stone, Glyek. You destroyed the territory of Hairan, made the land uninhabitable again, and tried to kill the next patriarch of Hairan. As the Lord of sword emperor castle, I will ask you for the crime and execute the sentence."
Punishment is extinction.
After Ron's words finished, his eyes shone brightly.
And there was laughter mixed in the screams of Glyek. Screams that shook the heavens and earth and ridicule like a bleak wind rang at the same time.
[Puheh...…! That's great. It is clear that you are more special than any human being I have ever met. I praise you for that.]
Glyek's size dwindled rapidly as he began to speak. Ron didn't feel anything special about his relaxed appearance.
[However, you had the power to defy fate... It is not necessarily possible to do so.]
Swoosh...… Glyek's body began to dissipate.
As the unnecessarily huge form disappeared, the chaos lost to the formless sword reduced. It has now become a black wind and scattered all over the battlefield.
The giants were still unable to break through the chaos and enter where Ron is standing
Even though Ron is giving Glyek an essential blow, it's still full of chaos that even they can't bear.
Still, the giants were slowly regaining their composure.
'Anyway, it would be safer for Ron Hairan to take over to protect Jin Runcandel than myself, but... Indeed, the question is whether he will defend Jin until the end.'
'Forcibly securing the youngest is rather dangerous. It seems that the King of Chaos has some other means left, so we should rather prepare for it. If Ron Hairan gives up on the youngest, it's a factor that can't be changed without worrying about it.'
Kelliark and Rosa thought. They were concerned about Glyek's outbursts and Ron's 'abandoning Jin'.
The latter seems to be a matter of no need to worry about, but it was no different for them to think that way.
Although they did not reach the genesis knight domain, they knew well how those who reached the genesis knight lost their humanity.
Those who reach the genesis knight were in danger of becoming monsters for the rest of their lives.
In particular, Rosa had seen firsthand what state Chiron was in right after he reached the genesis knight. The Chiron at that time was no different from a murderer. It was only after a long time that Chiron remained as stable and insensitive as he is now.
There was no law against Ron either. In fact, just like Rosa and Kelliark's worries, Ron was still in the middle of an inner struggle with the mind trying to eat him up.
[Especially if you still have strong mortal feelings like you do now...….]
Glyek's voice echoed in the black wind of chaos.
Although it is true that he made a mistake in his own calculations, and as a result Ron Hairan stood by his side and climbed the genesis knight realm. Glyek still held onto the possibility that Ron might be of his kind. With a premonition that maybe even Ron's rise to the genesis knight might be just a precursor.
Also, even if Ron could eventually maintain human emotions, Glyek was convinced that his combat power was superior to Ron, and he was also aware of the fact that Ron's genesis knight attribute was specialized in 'protection'.
Whoa-!
The scattered chaos of Glyek began to form a vortex in the middle of the battlefield. At the same time, the energy of chaos that had colored the ground was gushing out. It seemed as if a black tidal wave was rising from all sides.
All the humans on the battlefield except for Ron were speechless for a moment. It's been tough enough so far. But now, the energy that Glyek had begun to reveal has far exceeded the power that humans had experienced.
The chaos of Glyek is in full bloom. That meant that the black sea had been completely converted to the amount necessary for him to fight with his natural strength.
Until now, he had been unable to use his power because he was absorbing Jin and stopping them from entering the abyss.
The Orb of Origin is an object made by combining the energy of all the gods, and even the Plutonian tribe in its prime days faced the result of destruction while opposing its power.
And it was the kings of the Black Sea who divided that power into five pieces.
What has been revealed so far cannot be everything. Since the beginning of the war, time has never been on the side of humans. Even up to this moment.
"Ha...!"
The approaching giants stopped charging and caught their breath. The venom of chaos rising from the ground was holding them back.
All humans except for giants couldn't even breathe properly. Even the Black Knights and the Wraiths vomited blood because of the chaos that penetrated their bodies, and the lesser knights and mages quickly lost consciousness.
Talaris' condition was not good either. Since she hadn't unsealed Elona, she didn't have the strength to defend herself.
Still, the reason Talaris didn't fall immediately was because Rosa quickly made a judgment and returned to her side.
"Master of hidden palace, stick to me."
Rosa remembered how Talaris had tried to tell Kelliark that she had one last move left before Jin disappeared.
As Rosa and Kelliark predicted, Jin and Dante were not affected by the poison of chaos rising from the ground. Ron's power is protecting them.
It also meant that Ron would have to keep guarding them and do battle with Glyek.
And Jin was aware of the fact that something was wrong with Dante, who's on his back, as soon as Glyek's outburst began.
'Dante's body... It is being engulfed in chaos again...…!'
He could see Dante's hand wrapped around his own neck gradually turning black.
Ron is also aware of that fact and is furious, but he doesn't express it enough to be noticed by Jin.
However, Glyek was looking out for it. The fact that Ron is in a rage. That anger would soon turn into hatred and seduce Ron again.
[Ron Hairan, if you want to defeat me, you will have nothing to protect....]
