Chapter 627
C627
"Demon Beast King, Orgal..."
Jin gazed at the blurry landscape beyond the steel door.
Instead of Orgal’s figure, a distorted and blurry form of space appeared.
[You disappeared two years and six months ago and suddenly reappeared in the Great Desert. It seems your god has hidden the remaining Legends somewhere here. As soon as you returned, you pushed my loyal subordinate to the brink of death...]
“If you don’t like it, leave through the door immediately. Thanks to him, my body has warmed up a bit.”
[You’ve become too strong to kill now. There’s no reason for it either.]
Of course, Kinzelo had no reason to kill Jin.
There was no better hand than Jin to keep Runcandel and Zipple in check.
From Orgal’s response, Jin could infer that the balance and tension between the major factions were still being maintained.
“Surely, the day will come when you all will be annihilated while trying to keep the other factions in check through me.”
[Considering the actions you’ve shown so far, it’s a possibility. But don’t worry, we’ll prepare on our end as well.]
“Doesn’t that sound more like a warning than a concern?”
[If that’s how you want to interpret it, it must be quite a threat.]
“I don’t know if it’s out of confidence or because you had no choice but to save that demon. But this time, you’ve made another mistake. You’ve revealed that you haven’t fully recovered your strength yet. Let’s hope Ranke’s life was worth enough to pay for it.”
There was a moment of silence.
Soon, as if it didn’t make sense to keep talking, Jin turned around first.
Orgal watched Jin’s back and added these words.
[You’ll have to climb many mountains before you meet me. I also hope you don’t die during the journey.]
When Jin disappeared beyond the winds of chaos, the leader immediately opened a new steel door to Kinzelo's former headquarters. The same place where Ainas and Bouvard were chatting while attacking Ranke.
“It’s the leader!”
“Oh, leader!? Why are you here suddenly?”
[Ranke was struck by Jin.]
“What? Ranke? Jin Runcandel was there?”
“Lord Ranke was injured? By him!?”
“Ranke isn’t dead, right?”
[Fortunately, he survived. Quickly gather the rest of the important documents from the headquarters. And how many of those Legends-type golems are there?]
“Five. No, was it four?”
[Whatever it is, only you and they pass through the steel door. Issue evacuation orders to the rest of the members to their designated branches. From now on, the entire former headquarters is closed.]
“I don’t know how he defeated Ranke. He’d be exhausted if he fought against Ranke, so I’d rather deal with him now.”
[Jin wasn’t even tired, and that’s too heavy a blow. Prepare quickly.]
Ainas and Bouvard hurried to gather the documents. Four Legends-type golems also crossed the steel door.
And as they left, Jin exited the Great Desert of Mitra and began to destroy all the contaminated areas in the beastmen's land randomly for twelve hours.
In the process, all the contaminated areas outside the Great Desert of Mitra were reduced to ashes, and Kinzelo’s former headquarters, hidden underground, was completely pulverized.
------------------
Vamel Alliance, Tikan Free City.
Kashimir and Jin’s allies were receiving reports from the seven-colored peacock.
The reports about the massive destruction that had taken place in the contaminated area in the beastmen’s land and Kinzelo’s former headquarters.
In the beastmen’s land, where Kinzelo’s former headquarters was located, there had frequently been large and small battles between each of the factions.
"Your Majesty!"
Someone shouted urgently and entered the meeting room.
It was Jet.
And everyone’s hearts leapt when they saw Jet’s excited expression and Jin standing behind him.
"Jin-nim!"
"My lord...!"
"Young Master...!"
"Ha ha, our lord has finally returned!"
Gilly was the first to run and hug Jin.
Jin comforted her for a while and smiled.
"I’m back, Gilly."
"Young Master, I’m relieved to see you back safe...! But these wounds..."
The traces of battle were evident all over Jin's body.
"Ah, as soon as I left Lafrarosa, a guy named Ranke attacked me. I couldn't kill him because Orgal saved him."
At that moment, everyone present in the room couldn't help but be astonished to the point where their concerns from moments ago seemed trivial.
"R-Ranke Halovice? Then, the Beastmen area... Did you really destroy it alone, Young Master!?"
While Gilly was examining Jin's body, she realized that all the black marks of Chaos had disappeared.
Moreover, he had become noticeably stronger than before.
"I guess we worried for nothing, Kashimir."
"I guess so... What kind of training did you undergo for three years, Jin-nim? Anyway, I’m glad you’re back safe!"
"There’s much to discuss and much to hear. But first, it seems I must go to the Phantom Fortress."
On the way to the meeting room, Jin heard about the Phantom Fortress from Jet.
Smarion Proch.
The father of Lata and Fey, and the former leader of the Phantom Mercenaries, considered the strongest in the history of the Phantom Mercenary Corps.
The reason why Tikan's strongest members were currently waiting near the Phantom Fortress was because his seal was about to break.
"Let’s discuss on the way. Kashimir can’t leave his post, so for now, only Gilly, Valkas-nim, and I will go."
"What is this, Jin Runcandel? Did you just return?"
Qwaul also entered the meeting room.
He came to report to Kashimir about the investigation situation without knowing that Jin had returned.
He looked even more disheveled than before, as if his previous investigation had been especially exhausting.
"I think you haven’t been smoking five cigarettes at once even in the presence of children, Dr. Qwaul."
"Hmph, no matter how hard it is, I don’t do things like that. It looks like you have things from the Tribe of Legends."
"Please analyze them while I go to the Phantom Fortress. Dr. Qwaul, I also brought some plans that would drive you crazy. I’ll listen to the details of your investigation when I return."
"Oh, I see. That’s great, there’s a dirigible I finished a month ago, so go ride it. The performance is quite amazing. It will serve as an answer to your research questions."
