Cyron and Kial’s expedition team had been fighting for over twelve hours.
Ozdock was completely stunned and thrown far from the battlefield in the aftermath of the battle, while Kial continued to scream and unleash Chaos energy.
The Chaos that Kial spilled was at a different level from Gliek’s energy.
Unlike Gliek, Kial had awakened long ago and could use his full power.
Huh, huh~…!
Luna breathed heavily as she looked at Kial.
She was on one knee, leaning on her axe-sword, Krantel, and was covered by the ancient Black Knights.
“Just a little more… please.”
“Don’t worry, take a break for a bit, First Flagbearer.”
Even in Vanessa Olsen’s response, labored breaths were evident.
Black bruises-like Chaos covered the bodies of the revealed ancient Black Knights through their shattered armor.
Without Cyron, they would have already been annihilated.
Although each of them was no different from the strongest Knight on the surface.
‘Was my father fighting against these things alone?’
Since the battle began…
Luna couldn’t count how many times she had been amazed.
She heard some stories from Cyron in advance, but when she really entered the battle, she felt dizzy all the time.
All the expedition’s attacks, except Cyron’s, had never landed a single effective blow on Kial.
Luna and the ancient Black Knights played the role only to cover for Cyron.
‘Even that is confusing whether we are protecting my father or the other way around.’
Luna felt ‘impatient’ for her father’s back against Kial.
Of course, it was a feeling she had never experienced before.
Indeed, Cyron was in the midst of the fight while controlling his urgency, and the reason was no different.
It was because, at this moment, Gliek had awakened in the human world, not in the Black Sea.
Cyron judged that there was no way to stop Gliek in the current human world.
If it weren’t for the situation with Kial, Cyron would have returned without hesitation.
The inability to stop Gliek meant that his Family would also be destroyed.
Although there was a variable called Kinzelo, the possibility of them coming out to prevent the Chaos disaster didn’t seem very high.
Cyron thought that Runcandel, Zipple, and the rest of the forces, including the Empire and the Hidden Palace, would eventually manage to stop Gliek.
It was the worst-case scenario.
However, it was impossible to retreat with Kial in front, and even if it were possible, the issues that would arise upon return were difficult to face.
“It seems like you’re in trouble, Cyron Runcandel.”
Kial’s eyes narrowed like the crescent moon.
He was seeing through Cyron’s emotions.
“Seems like you still have the luxury to worry about those things.”
As if a storm were unleashed, the aura of the Genesis Knight gathered in Cyron’s sword.
It wasn’t just Cyron who was in a hurry.
Kial also felt overwhelmed by the fact that Cyron’s power had become stronger than when he faced him in the past.
Monster.
All humans who experienced a Black Sea King recognized them as monsters, but Kial couldn’t help but see Cyron as one.
And just as the aura gathered in Barisada was about to explode…
Kial felt something happening in the human world and could no longer maintain the relaxed smile.
Cyron also stopped moving, and his eyes widened.
‘This…!’
Just like they felt Gliek awakening when the battle was about to begin…
Cyron and Kial were aware that a new Genesis Knight had appeared in the human world.
The only thing that could propagate that energy to this distant subs.p.a.ce was the light of a Genesis Knight.
Luna and the ancient Black Knights didn’t feel the light.
‘It’s Ron Hairan!’
It wasn’t the aura of Talaris, Rosa, or the other superhumans he knew.
Cyron felt the aura of the bright attribute, the right path of justice exclusive to Hairan, as if it were right in front of him.
However, for some reason, in the light of the Genesis Knight, Cyron could feel not only the just energy but also a faint Shadow Energy.
‘Why is there Shadow Energy… Could it be that the younger one has somehow helped? There’s no reason for Solderet’s energy to be buried in Hairan’s just energy.’
Cyron couldn’t draw hasty conclusions, and it wasn’t an important matter right now.
In any case, Cyron was now able to speculate about the situation in the human world.
‘The Black Sea King has awakened in the Empire’s territory, and Ron Hairan has crossed the wall while fighting against him. Otherwise, it’s an inexplicable event.’
The person Cyron knew, Ron Hairan, was a Knight who could reach the Genesis Knight’s domain if given the chance.
Although Cyron thought that the possibility of falling into demonization like Smarion was much higher.
In any case, there was no reason for Cyron to hesitate in the fight against Kial.
Of course, even if Ron reached the Genesis Knight, it didn’t mean he could unconditionally subdue the Fifth King of Chaos, and it wouldn’t be the case that subjugation would end without any harm to the world.
A clear hope had emerged.
Moreover, if Gliek was annihilated by Ron’s sword, then one of his missions would be fulfilled.
‘If he manages to stop Gliek, I must personally thank him.’
This time Cyron smiled.
“Don’t you think it’s better to keep smiling, Kial? If you reveal your true feelings so easily, I don’t think you deserve to be called king of anything.”
At that moment, Luna realized that her father’s sword was regaining stability…
And she could be sure.
This battle will end with the victory of the expedition team.
————————
Had there been any moment when Jin didn’t feel so uneasy at the crossroads of life and death?
Even when his breath ceased, and his consciousness faded, Jin felt a strange sense of relief.
He himself didn’t know why, but there was actually a reason.
The first thing the person entering the domain of “SemiG.o.ds” did was to bestow their blessing upon Jin.
The light of the Genesis Knight floating in the air slowly approached Ron’s chest.
It emitted a light that only he could see, spoke in a language that only he could hear, and revealed a meaning that only he could comprehend.
About to overcome his death, Ron challenged fate once.
Solely by his own will.
Therefore, the size of the pure power he possessed was no different from that of the Genesis Knight at that moment.
That’s why he was able to fight for so long with the Supreme Sword.
However, after that moment, Ron’s mind quickly crumbled.
Immersed in pain and Chaos, he became a slave to the demonic heart.
As a result, he turned into a monster just like the ancient phantom leader, Smarion Proch.
He could escape the abyss thanks to seeing Jin.
Everyone who gained the power of the Genesis Knight ran the risk of becoming monsters, and even after becoming SemiG.o.ds, that danger never disappeared.
It always remained as an illness that could explode at any moment.
And that’s because, even as a SemiG.o.d, he couldn’t fully handle the power, as he was essentially human.
If Jin and Ron hadn’t met in this subs.p.a.ce, Ron would never have reached the domain of the Genesis Knight.
After the war began, Ron’s demonization progressed uncontrollably.
Therefore, it was Gliek who gave the final push to his demonization, and it was Jin who prevented Ron from crossing the line completely.
Ron slowly reached out to the light of the Genesis Knight that stopped in front of his chest.
It was like a roaring fire.
As he grasped it with both hands, the light flowed through his fingers back and forth, repeatedly telling Ron his final enlightenment.
Then, Ron gently pulled a piece of light with his hand and bent down to let the light flow towards the fallen Jin.
Like ripples on the calm water surface, the light of the Genesis Knight scattered and penetrated Jin.
However, that single ray of light couldn’t be absorbed by Jin.
Only less than 10% of the energy could be absorbed by Jin from the beam of light.
The rest of the energy would disperse somewhere and disappear forever.
Ron didn’t mind.
Rather, he was grateful to be able to heal Jin’s wounds at this price.
The remaining light of the Genesis Knight in Ron and the energy flowing towards Jin became one with two people, respectively.
Ron’s ruined body, which had turned black, regained its original color, and the blood flowing from Jin’s affected area turned red and subsided.
And the subs.p.a.ce vibrated.
Gliek was angry.
Gliek found it impossible to comprehend why a single human was messing things up, and not the shadow of the dreaded Solderet he had been so wary of.
Above all…
He never allowed that human to come here in the first place.
If he had stayed outside, he would have approached the King of Chaos just like himself.
Gliek thought it had to be that way.
Since he judged that Ron’s mind was completely subdued.
Both men leaked into the light of the Genesis Knight.
Huh….
Then, breath escaped from Jin’s lips.
It wasn’t the dark and moist breath of death but a breath as clear and pure as if a new life were being born.
All wounds have been healed.
As the light of the Genesis Knight is fundamentally different from Numerus’s Legacy, internal injuries have not been completely healed, but Jin feels that his body has become very light.
All the Chaos that strengthened the energy mixed with Shadow Energy had disappeared.
Therefore, his battle prowess also returned to its original state, but it didn’t matter at all.
Because it was the power he had no choice but to use to confront Ron.
There were some traces of Chaos that remained black like stains all over his body, but that didn’t become an issue immediately either.
Jin didn’t see the moment he was healed.
Still, he felt that he could figure out what was happening without having to hear Ron’s explanation.
“Jin.”
Jin grabbed Ron’s extended hand and stood up. The light of the Genesis Knight, which Jin couldn’t directly see a moment ago, was creating a subtle glow on Ron’s body.
“Ron-nim.”
The two looked at each other without speaking for a while.
Like comrades who have fought together for a long time, it seemed like they could see clearly into each other’s hearts.
“If it weren’t for you, I would have ended up turning into a monster and killing Dante with my own hands. And I wouldn’t even feel the sorrow and pain caused by it.”
At those words, Jin’s eyes widened.
Because Ron was talking as if Dante were still alive.
