Episode 425
[Based on lifespan, there is no other species that is more likely to know about the history of the gap than dragons. Of them, the longest-lived lord, as well as other agent dragons from 400 years ago that you have never seen, all of them have traces of ‘memory deletion’.]
This was a very interesting fact.
[There is only one thing I have learned. Among the dragons, those who ascend to the position of ‘Lord’ go to 2407,1558/6956,1193 when their lifespan ends. That is where the Lord’s destiny lies.]
Bellamy could tell right away that number.
“Coordinates, please.”
[Yes, that place in the vast Black Sea.]
Bellamy asked.
“Have you been there?”
[No, I haven’t been there. To be exact, I haven’t been there.]
“ah…….”
[I was curious. But that was it. I had work to do.]
Erased history is true, and unwritten history is also true.
Because the traces of memory deletion were clear. Of course, there were many other things I learned.
In ancient times, there was a god called Ragnarok… … and Asura, the god of battle… … and things like that, ancient beliefs. The current generation knows that it was something like an indigenous belief believed by foreign races or humans hundreds of years ago, but that’s not true.
Because it was Valentine who first spread it across the continent.
That is, it was a trace.
Traces of the Eastern Continent beyond the Black Sea, not the Western Continent.
How did he get it? He got it from the now extinct mermaids. He wanted to know more. He even thought about going to the Eastern Continent. But unfortunately, Valentine had something to do. Finding the unwritten history was only a secondary task, something that was pushed back. Valentine knew. The weapon he had.
This appearance and body, which were often evaluated as beautiful, were all weapons. Weapons that attracted attention. Also, the power that she possessed was also a weapon. Going beyond the continent with something like that? There would be problems. Since a strong person suddenly appeared. Of course, this was not the whole problem.
To be precise, the timing was the issue.
The Western Continent was still chaotic. Humans created a nation of their own, but there was a lot of noise at first. They planned to resolve all that and then go to another continent. However, everything ended when they were trapped in a cave. After that, Valentine’s time stopped. His curiosity stopped, and his desire to learn about history also stopped.
[I bet you were planning on telling this story to Jack, that guy. Was that right?]
“Yes. That’s what I was thinking… … .”
Bellamy immediately noticed the nuance in Valentine’s words.
“I guess there’s no need to do that.”
Valentine nods. There’s no need to do as Bellamy says. Jack already knows all this.
A few months ago, when I was staying at the Ascendible lodge, Jack and I had a conversation about prophecy and Ragnarok and Asura. That was enough for me.
Jack knows. Everything Valentine has investigated in the past.
[The history of its origins will soon be revealed.]
Because Jack will go to the Eastern Continent. Of course, he won’t just go. He will stop by the place where the Dragon Lord goes before his life ends. That’s when the history of the origin will be revealed.
Then, all of a sudden, this thought occurred to me. My heart felt a little… … heavy.
It was Valentine himself who told Jack that story, but it wasn’t his current self.
Same but different beings.
Valentine’s Day from my past life. And Valentine’s Day from my present life.
It’s a very ambiguous relationship.
‘I’m not angry at myself.’
It was a thought that occurred to him without thinking. And for a moment, Valentine flinched at the thought.
fury?
You’re angry? Me?
No, this is not a painting. To be exact.
It was jealousy.

Valentine, who was in the form of a doll, unconsciously wiped her face once again.
The world is going crazy.
* * *
Bartomeu Tulcan, the fourth prince of the Tulcan Empire, was trembling.
The Emperor said that whoever killed Jack Valantier would become Emperor.
That meant giving a chance to the third prince, fourth prince, and other princesses who were pushed down in the power hierarchy, but not all of them are fools. That’s just empty talk.
The zealots of Tulkan are otherwise known as fanatics.
They are not stupid either.
There are those who regard the name Tulcan as a god, but they believe that there is a ‘higher level’ among those gods.
To be precise, the Emperor of Tulkan is a god, and the princes of Tulkan are candidates for gods. And among those candidates are Iskandar Tulkan and Tamar Tulkan.
The light warriors saw these two as strong candidates for the new god and pledged allegiance to them.
This is precisely why the current situation in which the Emperor has woken up from his sickbed is so strange.
While the new candidates were competing, God appeared.
The fanatics who followed the new candidate soon became fanatics who worshipped God, and everyone is now following God’s commands.
This is the reason why tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and millions of troops continued to gather and rushed at Jack Valantier all at once.
Because it was God’s command.
But one of those great new candidates, Tamar Tulkan, died. She died so meaninglessly at the Golden Gate.
Now what remains are the current god and the next god.
Among them, the next newcomer, Iskandar, was surprisingly nowhere to be seen.
Rumor has it that he is having a private meeting with the Emperor, but the princes and their close associates know nothing more than that.
It’s a ridiculous situation, but this is what’s happening now.
Iskandar is nowhere to be seen and the Emperor is just like, “You guys figure it out, I give the orders, troops? I’ll just assign you a certain number of troops, you guys figure out the rest, I’m busy with X,” so what can I do with this stance?
And because I wasn’t stupid, I could tell that Tulcan was already finished.
I wanted to run away.
Prince Bartomeu Tulcan really thought so.

I glanced to the side.
Marcus, the commander of the 5,000 light warriors supported by the emperor.
If it weren’t for that guy, I probably would’ve run away a long time ago.
I asked a question just in case.
“… …Can’t I just run away?”
Marcus smiles softly and looks at Bartomeu.
“You’re taking this joke too far.”
“I’m not joking… … .”
Fanatics who follow God’s will thoroughly are absolutely not normal people.
God has decided, and his descendants must follow it. If a descendant of God disobeys his words? That is treason, usurpation, and rebellion.

In an instant, Marcus’ expression turned grim.
“You must be joking. Are you not the prince? Stand up as befitting the bloodline that carries the name of Tulkan.”
I wanted to say no, to tell him to get out, but I couldn’t.
If it were normal times, I could have said it.
If I had told you, you would have listened. If I had told you to get out and get your face cleaned, you would have really gotten out or cleaned it. But the situation right now was not so easy.
As I said before, the current god and the next god have already been decided. Because we are at war now. The rest of Tulkan’s bloodline is just a symbol. It has already been decided.
It was the moment when I put my trembling hands in my pockets to hide them.
Suddenly, something fell from the sky.
It felt like a person.
Marcus and Bartomeu turned their heads at the same time.
And rustle.
Bartomeu’s eyes opened wide.
Because the neck of the commander Marcus, who I had just been talking to, was rising toward the sky.
For a moment, I had this thought.
Blood spraying into the sky, Marcus’ body falling backwards. The series of events that can be seen in the field of vision are very… … beautiful.
And I could see it.
Who did that?
“Uh… … Uh huh?”
I ended up taking a step back.
My trembling hands shook even more, and my whole body shook.
Thud, I collapsed.
My legs feel weak. My pants feel damp.
Jack… …Jack Valantier is here.
How are you here?
The walls are still intact. How?
Jack smiled when he encountered Bartomeu like that. It seemed like he really wanted to meet him.
“It’s been a while.”
The guy who took Elizabeth from her previous life.
The bastard who wrote to the Marquis of Valantier to propose marriage and officially became Elizabeth’s husband.
“I wanted to see you after Iskandar.”
Light warriors rush in from all around.
The number is about two thousand.
Jack clenched his fists lightly.
Okay then.
Oh my gosh-!!

With the sound of a mirror breaking, two thousand light warriors rushed forward and were torn to pieces and blown into the air.
“Look at how much fat you’ve grown, little one. You must have been eating well.”
Jack’s smile was bright. So bright. Like the smile of God.
“Why aren’t you talking? Are you mute?”
Oh my god.
Bartomeu sat down and took a step back.
Shit X I should’ve just run away.
Jack approached Bartomeu, who was thinking like that.
Then, for a moment, I stopped in my tracks.
First, I need to clean up my surroundings. Thinking that way, Jack recited the command without hesitation.
“[This place where I stand is my own land.]”
Wind, forest, fire, and mountain, four types of mountains.
Phew.
The moment the Heavenly Horse Sword was stuck in the ground, a huge wave spread out around it.
* * *
Woof- Woof
The entire imperial palace trembles.
It was that much vibration.
The Great Hall of the Imperial City. In that great hall, there was only one man.
The man sitting on the throne.
His appearance, clad in a dragon robe, was so majestic and sturdy that it was hard to believe that he had been bedridden until recently.
Philippos Tulcan.
By now, the numerous nobles, berserkers, and princes of Tulkan who are fighting with swords in the capital know that Philippos Tulkan and Iskandar are having a private meeting.
It’s all a mistake.
From the moment he rose from his sickbed and gave orders to all the princes, Philip was alone.
He slowly walked down the podium.
I opened the gates of Daejeon and walked through a huge hallway decorated with all kinds of art pieces.
Soon Philip could be seen heading towards the veranda of the palace.
A vast number of warriors cover the capital. And one side of the capital.
There was a huge amount of empty space close to the Black Gate.
There should have been a building there if there were no people, but there was nothing. It was as if it had been erased. And in the center of the place, there was a man standing and a man lying down.
Emperor Philip immediately recognized the fallen man as Prince Bartomeu Tulcan.
I think they’re torturing me.
Even in such a situation, Philip did not show any reaction. He did not show any anger, sadness, or any other reaction that a normal human would show. It was as if he was not human.
Philip raised his hand.

Mana rises from his body.
If people who knew saw it, they would probably be shocked.
What was the illness that Philip Tulcan was suffering from?
It’s vascular fibrosis.
A blood vessel fibrosis that cannot use mana. But now it uses mana.
Something strange was happening.
Soon Philip shouted:
“[Manufacture Ghost.]”
A huge amount of mana is released into the air.
That wasn’t the end.
“[Animated Dead.]”
The ground shook throughout the capital.
Kookung.
Something was coming up.
Soon, a fleshy hand burst through the floor.
This was happening simultaneously throughout the capital.
This is ridiculous.
Black magic, and the kind of black magic that only a necromancer could use, was now manifesting in Philippos’ hands.
Hundreds of years ago, the founder of Tulcan, who declared this place as his capital, was accompanied by numerous soldiers. The place where they sacrificed the most was the Black Gate.
They buried their bodies below and built a building over them. That was the capital of Tulcan.
And now, the soldiers from that time were coming back to life.
Millions of berserkers, and millions of undead. And millions of ghosts.
In an instant, the sky of Tulcan turned black.
Philip speaks quietly.
“[Kill that bastard.]”
The black sky descended upon Jack.
