Glyek.

It was clear that the king of the Black Sea, who existed in the form of a white stone, had awakened with Dante as his vessel.

As Glyek said, it's very likely that Dante’s body has already disappeared, but he didn't know if even a part of his consciousness would remain.

Of course, Jin could have been mistaken.

It may be that the desperate heart that wishes for his friend to be alive is clouding his reason.

However, Jin could not comprehend the fact that Glyek hesitated for a moment when the huge sword of chaos attacked him.

'Is it because he just woke up and his condition isn't perfect?'

Jin was aware that Glyek was not in perfect state. Although this was the first time seeing him, it was because his twisted body was full of defects.

Above all, Glyek mistook Jin for 'Solderet'.

‘He speaks as if he knows Solderet well and hates him extremely, but to the point of being confused, it means that he has a problem with his senses.’

That fact sent chills down Jin’s spine. Even though he didn't wake up in perfect condition, he overwhelms everyone on the battlefield, so it's inevitable.

Swoosh... !

Rashid, dyed in gray, lifted towards Glyek's upper body. A blow with all his might, Ron was able to break several of his swords and spears for the first time since Glyek had awakened.

The broken weapon fell like a landslide and hit the ground. Ron leapt through the broken weapon once more and slammed Rashid through his face.

Hundreds of arms blocked his way again, and this time a repulsive force occurred instead of attraction and pushed him away.

Ron was eventually able to leave a long, deep cut on his face.

It wasn't without cost. Ron was also pierced all over by thorns protruding from Glyek's face out of nowhere.

Jin and the Black Knights jumped at the same time to protect Ron, who was in a defenseless state for a while.

A total of fourteen thorns stabbed his body, and dark red blood poured out of his body, but fortunately there were no very deep wounds.

However, the fact that Glyek's reflexive attack injured Ron was a problem in itself.

The speed of the thorn that felt by Jin and the Black Knights was certainly not at a level that a knight like Ron could not able to avoid or parry.

Ron is physically reaching his limit. He wasn't normal from the start of the second battle, so it wasn't strange if Ron collapsed at any time.

“Lord Ron, are you all right!”

In an instant, Jin saw Ron's pupils blur. He smelled the peculiar smell of ash that is characteristic of those nearing death.

"I’m…fine."

Jin and the Black Knights looked left and right and behind.

Talaris was still seated, and support from Runcandel and Zipfel was still coming from afar.

Although Glyek’s mind is not intact, and he pours almost all of his attacks on Jin's side.

It wasn't that Glyek didn't mind rear at all. He kept exploding chaos to the outside to keep Runcandel and Zipfel from approaching.

More than 90% of the energy of chaos is spent on blocking reinforcements.

Therefore, what Jin and the others were enduring were mostly purely physical attacks from Glyek.

Ron stood up by planting his sword on the ground. In the process, he suddenly realized that the ground was turning strangely black. Jin and the black Knights also saw the same phenomenon.

“The land, this…….”

It was not darkened by the heat of battle or by the cannon fire.

‘It’s similar to…. the Black Sea.'

The land named Black Sea.

Stam, who participated in Chiron's Expedition team for a long time after becoming the Black Knight, had personally experienced this phenomenon in the past. The phenomenon that the land becomes 'Black Sea'.

Jin also encountered the same thing when he heard about Ozdock from Picon Minche.

-[As the Black Sea rapidly expanded, Ozdock was covered in the poisonous land of the Black Sea. It must be assumed that he was buried alive while trying to hibernate.]

The land where sword emperor castle was located is turning into the Black Sea due to Glyek’s energy. A land where people cannot live....

Crack!

Ron closed his fist and grabbed a handful of ground. Instead of black soil, crystals of chaos as hard as rocks filled his hands.

“How far are you going to trample my land….”

Crystals of chaos disintegrated into particles in Ron's grasp and scattered somewhere. Jin couldn't say anything to him.

Maybe all the tragedies that happened in the sword emperor castle were caused by Jin’s regression, so a terrible guilt clung to his heart like rotten oil.

Even before he regressed, Zipfel made the Demon’s God’s orb, and the imperial family always looked for an opportunity to push Hairan out, and the white stone was always there.

The sword emperor castle war was bound to happen regardless of Jin's regression. Rather, it may be that Jin is now moving towards a better result.

But no one can tell Jin that this isn't your fault. Jin himself couldn't think of it that way, and the sadness experienced by the giant in front of him was bitter beyond measure.

He just had to fight with all his might. As always, that was the best Jin could do.

The heavy pressure that was pressing on Glyek was fading.

Tess' energy was exhausted. Glyek paused for a moment by the shock of the slash on his face, but then returned to swinging hundreds of swords and spears.

And Ron stumbled. The way he stepped on his wobbly legs was infinitely unstable, so now Jin and the Black Knights were almost in a position to protect Ron.

After the Black Sea began to form, the energy of Glyek quickly blackened the ground.

He was getting tired too. Stam and the Black Knights were better than that as the battle wasn't that long, but they had to deal with the chaos throughout and rapidly lost their stamina to fill Ron's vacancy.

What was even more painful was the fact that Glyek's distorted appearance became more and more stable as the Black Sea transformation progressed.

Glyek’s attacks became more ferocious as time passed, and its aura expanded. Runcandel and Zipfel’s infiltration teams had no choice but to be slow.

Swoosh, slash!

In the end, a black sword that Jin and the Black Knights missed hit Ron. He managed to strike back, but he fell helplessly to the floor with his body floating.

He has already crossed his limits several times. From the moment he woke up after a long period of unconsciousness until now, Ron has been performing miracles all along.

It's just coming to the end...….

“Lord Ron!”

“12th flagbearer!”

Jin and Stam shouted at the same time. Jin reflexively threw himself to Ron's rescue, which Stam thought wrong.

Stam was right. If he loses his focus while defending Ron, he's only giving Glyek a chance.

Jin thought that if Glyek was forced to act, he would target him. Then, with Stam and the Black Knights, he seemed to be able to save Ron even if he was injured.

But Glyek was regaining his sanity as land became the Black Sea. He decided that he'd better kill Ron first when he had the chance.

Besides, Glyek's spear was faster than Jin. A huge black spear was falling like lightning over Ron.

'Damn it, damn it, damn it!'

Jin raised his energy and unleashed a light speed thrust. Blood flowed from his mouth and nose and ears.

Jin failed to hit spear by a narrow margin and missed. In that fleeting moment, Jin frantically resented himself for not being able to intercept the huge spear.

Ron didn't have the strength left to throw the spear away. The moment the spear blade attacked Ron, it was imprinted like a slow screen in Jin's field of vision.

And the next moment, Jin saw it again.

He saw Glyek getting hesitate. The spear stopped right before it slammed Ron down.

[This….]

It was a very brief gap, only about a second, but it was time for Jin to throw his body again and push Ron away.

“Kaaak!”

Instead of Ron, Jin let out a scream as he took spear. The backflow reaction felt like his bones and intestines would burst, but the relief that he had saved Ron made that painful feeling grateful.

Stam and the Black Knights parried off the ensuing attack. And now they were feeling it too.  The fact that something is wrong with Glyek. But they couldn't think of Dante.

Ron, on the other hand, was clearly aware, even as his consciousness faded and his eyes darkened.

Dante..… Dante, my grandson, you...….

How are you there, how?

Blurry eyes.

Earlier, when Jin asked if he was okay. Ron answered vaguely, not just because he was exhausted.

At the moment when fourteen thorns protruding from Glyek's face stabbed his body, he also thought that Dante's consciousness might remain somewhere in that monster like Jin.

Ron was convinced now.

“I can feel it, Jin. My grandson, Dante, is in there.”

[You're persistent.]

Ron's vision went out. He lost his sight.

“Yes grandson, your grandfather is coming.”

The fire of the flesh faded, and all that was left of Ron was the will to blindly love his grandson. He kept speaking in a hoarse voice with little sensation in his whole body.

“Lord Ron, Dante is in there. So you must hold on to consciousness!”

“Dante. I'll save you...….”

Swoosh-!

While Ron was muttering, Glyek was swinging his sword again. Jin and the Black Knights responded, but if they missed one more attack, Ron would be torn apart without a trace.

Unlike Jin, the Black Knights saw no point in protecting Ron anymore. It was because it seemed impossible to revive him unless the tears of Numerus were used.

But Jin stubbornly protected Ron.

“12th flagbearer, you have to give up. More than this is impossible.”

“No, we must save him. Sir Stam.”

“You really don’t know that we are in a situation that cannot be improved by acting emotionally!”

That's wrong. Rather, Jin was making a judgment with almost no emotions now. The reason he wanted to save Ron was no different.

Kelliark Zipfel.

It was because Jin was aware that the culprit who pushed Hairan into such a desperate fate would soon arrive at them.

'He…… he will definitely save Lord Ron.'

With the power of the Demon’s God’s orb.

Jin doesn't know if he should describe it as 'saving', but one thing was certain. By using the power of the Demon’s God’s orb, Ron can fight again. Although it's far out of bounds.

Stam read Jin's thoughts and recognized his true intentions belatedly, and felt a chill in his back.
