Chapter 558

As soon as Glyek woke up, the ongoing war outside naturally came to an end. Kelliark and Ron, too, had no choice but to fend off the chaos energy that swept the battlefield.

Runcandel, who had been observing the situation, could no longer remain idle.

As soon as Glyek woke up, his power spread its influence even to the location where Runcandels were 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, Jin’s death was absolutely excluded in Rosa’s calculations.

Above all.

Those on the battlefield could instinctively sense that if they didn’t defeat the awakened King of the Black Sea right here and now, the next sequence would inevitably lead to the end of the world or a catastrophe of equal magnitude.

Rosa and Kelliark also realized why Kinzelo had not participated in this crucial battle until now.

‘Kinzelo, those bastards knew that white stone was the king of the Black Sea.’

‘…… Now I get it. That’s why Ron suffered such a serious injury. It was 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 thought about this while gritting their teeth.

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 power of Kinzelo’s leader.

Roaring-!

Deep blue flames gushed from the chaos on the ground. As soon as Rosa and Kelliark saw the flames, they sighed in relief inwardly.

It was because the flames were proof that Jin was still alive.

Rosa had to save Jin. Now that Jin had 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 were to die, he’ll somehow be able to retrieve Solderet’s powers, but it’s a different story if he gets ‘eaten’ by the King of the Black Sea.

Kelliark will be unable to complete the ‘Demon God’s orb’ forever.

A storm of chaos raged.

The Demon God’s orb hanging in the sky trembled with a distorted face. Keye, keyee…… A low voice soaked in fear mixed with the chaos and gradually disappeared.

What the Demon God’s orb feared was not Ron, but Glyek. It was the countless gods sealed within Demon God’s orb…… The fragments of the Orb of Origin that they broke themselves because they could not handle the power.

Chiing!

Rosa’s sword, ‘Frenzy’, was dyed white aura and created a sharp resonating sound. A mist-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 blade cut through the incoming chaos, and the knights of Runcandel followed her step by step into the storm, slowly forming a defensive formation.

In the sky, Kelliark and Zipfel’s fleet was slowly descending to the ground, breaking through 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 ultimate technique, White, in front.

The power Tess was exerting now far exceeded the day when it destroyed the Dark Mage Society with a single roar, but now the opponent was Glyek.

Defense alone was unreasonable. Tess didn’t know how long even it could go through the unstable catalyst of chaos.

“Whoa, whoa…!”

Breathing heavily, Talaris lifted her head and looked ahead. Maintaining white has now reached its limit, and she retracts her sword, trusting in Jin, Tess, and the Black Knights.

At the same time, all of white ice formation was melted, 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 refine my energy. Hold on until then, Stam. It’ll be difficult to break through the retreat route like this, so don’t think about taking only Jin.”

“I understand, master of the hidden palace.”

Talaris sat down upright. 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 remaining.’

However, the situation was still unfavorable. Stam and the Black Knights also felt it. The chaos energy was targeting none other than Jin.

Why is that targeting me?

Jin had no time to question such things. He had already experienced through Yona that chaos beyond a certain level showed 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 route from outside, so it shouldn’t interfere with your mission, Sir Stam.”

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 black spear and the curtain, and the companions who had even a little bit of strength left seemed to be clearing out the chaos they couldn’t ward off.

No one said a word. Only the clash of swords and chaos reverberated 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 rather the result of him fully waking up and organizing his strength.

This vast power that turned the whole battlefield into chaos in an instant was nothing more than a prelude.

The real thing will start from now on.

[Ahhh….]

Everyone on the battlefield could clearly hear that voice. A creepy feeling that couldn’t be described pierced the hearts of knights and mages.

Then the storm of chaos came to a halt. 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 true form 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.

These arms were thick and long enough to reach the broken spires of the Sword Emperor Castle, and the weapons covered the whole sky.

Even the face of the Demon God’s orb seemed small compared to him, and the fleet floating in front of him looked like flying insects.

They can’t believe that it came out of that small stone…… A giant mass of an unfathomable abyss was overlooking the humans.

However, black eyes were shaking unsteadily just like an alpine tree.

If you look closely without being intimidated by his majesty, you could find a twisted feeling in every part of Glyek, as if something was distorted.

For some reason, he couldn’t wake up perfectly. Human world was a land where Glyek should not exist, and he had been sealed away for too long.

But this fact could not console those gathered on the battlefield. Most people didn’t even realize that Glyek had been released in an imperfect state from the beginning.

‘Is that…… the King of the Black Sea?’

5 kings of the Black Sea.

The first time Jin heard about them was when Myuron Zipfel was facing his end.

-I was once the lover of the witch Helluram, the one who shared a cup with the kings of the Tigris mountain, west of the Black Sea…….

At the time of the Colon Incident, a spell casted by Myuron, who was using dark magic to be possessed by the demon king Orgal.

Since that day, Jin had 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 was the reason why his father was 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 King of the Black Sea.

Unlike Misha, whose face turned white, Murkan 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 group faced was survival.

[I woke up…… from a long sleep…… but I’m……  far away…. from my siblings.]

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 battleship were filled through the mages’ mana.

However, Kelliark did not give the order to fire, and the most elite mages of Zipfel aboard the battleship did not lose their minds because of fear.

The energy of chaos that filled the entire space was causing malfunction in magic devices and artifacts.

Dragons’ artifacts that Murakan described as shackles blacked out or shattered, and mages, trying to control the battleships, fell into the mana backflow in seconds.

Even the fired cannons did not even reach Glyek and disappeared in the chaos.

Kelliark tried to control them using the Demon God’s orb, but it wasn’t easy. The terrified Demon God’s orb was not able to give strength to Kelliark as easily as before.

[The smell of… bitter hatred… fills the air…]

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 sensed the next moment.

That countless swords and spears would strike him. Before he could finish thinking about it, Jin raised his sword. Stam, the Black Knights, and his companions also took a stance.

The black blades sharper and heavier than the chaos they had fought so hard were descending.

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 fire sword energy and Kelliark hadn’t supported them with magic, it would have been over.

But they were still too far away. The defense had its limits, and Glyek’s swords were pressing Jin more and more intensely.

In a moment when they almost missed one of the successive attacks, Jin could confirm that one of Glyek’s sword was suddenly turning gray.

Ron Hairan had rushed in and parried Glyek’s sword.
