Chapter 569
C569
Black Sea, Land of the Five Kings.
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.
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 subspace 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.
