C567

What is this?

Jin, no matter where he looked, the surroundings were filled with oppressive darkness.

The sharp roar that occurred when the Grand Icefield broke...

The voices of those shouting in response to the sudden change and the sound of debris, swords, and magic clashing...

None of that could be heard.

Jin couldn't hear anything.

The feeling of being separated from the world with no time to recognize or resist made him uneasy...

But the only thing he felt was the singular empty energy of this black space.

Jin even felt the illusion of having died, but he kept his composure.

It seems I've been dragged into Gliek's subspace.

Jin raised his hand and looked at his sword.

The only thing that didn't lose its original color in the absolute darkness was Jin's body and his belongings.

Jin had entered a nearly similar space before.

It's almost identical to Solderet's subspace.

Certainly, there is a strong connection between Shadow Energy and the Chaos energy that I am unfamiliar with. It's uncomfortably similar.

The darkness formed by Gliek resembled a subspace of shadows.

One could say everything was the same except for one thing.

Does the space have favor or hostility towards him?

In Solderet's subspace, there was a strangely unfamiliar and comfortable feeling, but this darkness was full of indescribably huge hostility.

Moreover, this hostility was not content with just staring at Jin.

Jin began to feel that an invisible, eerie, and cold energy was penetrating his entire body.

"Agh!"

The icy blade seemed to cut through his flesh and pierce his bones.

Jin's fist clenched reflexively, and a groan escaped from his clenched teeth.

Chaos.

What tormented Jin was the Chaos imbued in Gliek's will.

This power surpassed the various types of physical and mental pain that Jin had endured until now.

If it weren't for his robust mental fortitude, honed through countless challenges and trials, Jin wouldn't have lasted more than five minutes and would have collapsed.

"Chkkakk...."

Jin couldn't help but feel terrified.

There were no allies who could help him in this dark space, and he didn't believe he could escape this place alone.

Emotions he had never experienced even when facing the imperial army, as well as Zipple's large army, tried to overpower Jin.

"Damn, my hand...!"

Suddenly, Jin took a step back, feeling a chill down his spine.

It was because he saw that his hand held the sword, and the tips of his fingers were tainted black by Chaos.

Immediately, he could recognize things he had never experienced.Cheêck out latest novels at novelhall.com

The fact that this terrible discoloration was the result of being eroded by Chaos.

A chill ran down his spine, and he felt his blood freeze.

Upon closer inspection, he could see that the Chaos-tinged energy on his index finger was growing more and more like a creeping caterpillar.

Furthermore, the erosion didn't just start at the fingertips.

The places where the pain was especially intense, like the fingers, were all points where erosion was occurring.

What would happen when the invasion was complete?

Jin intuitively reached the conclusion that he would become part of Gliek.

Just like Dante.

He had to overcome it.

It's only different in size and depth, but it's not fundamentally different from the despair I've always overcome.

'I'll somehow avoid the invasion and find a way to get out of here.'

Jin lifted his head and struggled to stand.

But he fell as soon as he took a step, and it happened five times in a row.

The invasion stopped, and Jin no longer felt pain.

The Chaos that had run so wildly, mixed with Shadow Energy, crisped weakly like a telegraph wire.

And his body, exhausted from the long battle, was now filled with a greater strength than before the war began.

To the point where Jin felt there was nothing in the world he couldn't cut through.

'Did I achieve temporary growth by surpassing Chaos? Or... Is it some kind of side effect?'

Jin couldn't figure it out immediately.

Seeing traces of discoloration all over his body, it was clear that there would be consequences regardless of the path he had taken.

Jin also realized that his fighting spirit burned too intensely.

It was the opposite of his intention to remain as calm as possible.

It's a dangerous power if it can't be completely mine.

'As the invasion of my body has ceased, it seems that this time it's trying to destroy my mind.'

Jin judged that Chaos was trying to erode his body first, but now it was targeting his mind.

Just like what happened to his younger sister, Yona.

However, he couldn't guarantee that he could overcome it.

Neither the release of Shadow Energy nor the blood of the battle god could directly protect his mind.

Jin had to find an exit while maintaining the utmost rationality.

The external situation was one of two.

Either everyone tried to save Jin, or they fought against Gliek.

Jin was worried, but he tried not to let it bother him.

He couldn't afford to suppress the fighting spirit and the killing intent that grew like foam.

It was still dark, and the only thing he heard was the sound of his own breathing and the faint noise caused by the lightning spreading from the battle god's blood.

He turned around the Bradamante stained with Shadow Energy.

Despite his firm conviction that nothing would resist him, the subspace showed no reaction.

No matter how many times he tried, there was only one option for Jin. He only had to walk until something else appeared.

And Jin faced something different from the darkness faster than expected in the vast subspace.

A person...!?

It seemed hazy and dark, but he could see the shape of a person crouching on the other side of the darkness, in the distance.

Jin ran towards the figure, and soon he could identify who it was.

"Ron-nim!"

Jin didn't believe that someone else had been trapped in this subspace.

In particular, Ron, who was the farthest from him.

"Then other people...!"

The moment Jin thought that,

Ron raised his head and looked at him.

As soon as their gazes met, Jin couldn't help but abruptly stop walking.

Mad hostility.

The intense and deep hatred emanating from Ron was as palpable as the resentment Jin felt towards Gliek for the first time, and it was directed straight at him.

"Ron-nim! I'm Jin Runcandel. You may not recognize me..."

"Why?"

Ron interrupted Jin.

At that moment, Jin noticed that Ron's eyes were as black as oil.

Because Ron had been invaded by the Chaos that had previously been crushing Jin.

Ron stood up and said.

"This monster is looking for you, but... why, why did my grandson become its prey in your place? Tell me, why was he sacrificed instead of you...?"

When Ron finished speaking, Rashid's blackened sword was already at Jin's throat.
