Episode 474
Ron shook his head. What about his brother?
“If you have family, there is.”
“Judging from your expression, I think you ‘certainly’ know who it is. Could you tell me?”
A strange smile spread across Ron’s lips. There’s no need to mention that Jack has an older sister named Elizabeth, that her last name is Valantie, and so on. There’s no need to. But I can tell you who this energy belongs to.
“You are His Majesty’s teacher.”
Both of them flinch at the same time. His Majesty’s teacher?
“… … .”
“Why are you making such a dumb expression?”
The two were silent for a long time.
Then, Yoo Je-ha asked.
“What the heck.”
“What the heck?”
“Why did you come here, to the Eastern Continent?”
As the ambassador had thought, this was a fundamental question. Why did people come from the forbidden land? Why did they come here instead of doing well in the Western Continent?
Ron remained silent and continued his speech.
“There are two people with that level of power… …? There could be more, but why on earth did they come here? There couldn’t have been no reason for them to come here. Maybe.”
“if?”
“… … Have you come to conquer the continent?”
Ron burst out laughing. He almost laughed, actually. His stomach was starting to hurt. Ugh.
Ron let out a small groan, but a smile formed on his lips. Ah, these two are more interesting than I thought.
“There is a purpose, but it is something I cannot tell you.”
“Because your status is low?”
“Let’s call it courtesy. How foolish and foolish would it be for a subordinate of the person he serves to go around talking about the person he serves’s intentions and goals?”
“… … That’s true.”
“But I can tell you one thing for sure.”
“What is that?”
“It’s not about conquering the continent. As you can see from looking at our Majesty, he is a person who hates trouble. Conquering the continent? He’s not the type to do that. In fact, he probably isn’t even thinking about it. I didn’t think that question would come up either.”
“But as I said before, you are a subordinate, a guard. How can you know the Emperor’s thoughts?”
That’s a given.
“Because we’ve been together for over a decade and I’ve seen you grow.”
“… … .”
“People don’t change easily. Even if their actions become more aggressive, their speech becomes harsher, and they become more powerful, their essence remains the same. Your Majesty wants to live a leisurely life.”
That’s why I came to the Eastern Continent. To kill Ragnarok, eliminate all the aftereffects, and rest comfortably.
Ron stands up from his seat.

“Let’s stop worrying about useless things and start again.”
Ron’s body turned blue. It was different from the mana that covered the bodies of existing mana users. The blue color was very dark.
Like blue.
The evolution of blood vessels and body experienced by 9th circle mana users before becoming masters.
I’ve entered that process.
Ron’s fists and feet crackled and sparked. Yellow and blue lights mixed. Ron kicked away. The two men finally shook off their thoughts. In fact, it didn’t matter whether the Emperor’s mentor came or not. What mattered was repaying the favor.
To repay the favor and make this man a master, that’s it.
In this way, Ron gained practical experience to become a true master.
* * *
The sea split and the sky split. The surrounding mountains collapsed due to the sudden tsunami. Fortunately, there were no coastal cities.
The place where Jack and Ron first anchored their ship was a cliff. If you go down from that cliff and walk for a long time, you will reach the city of Jongdo. If Jongdo was a coastal city, many people would have died in the fight between just two people.
Kwaaaaang-!! Kwaaaaang-!!!
The cell floating in the sky in a state of tolerance from afar thought.
If the world were to fall apart, wouldn’t this be what it would feel like?
The power of Valentine was, frankly, beyond imagination. It wasn’t something I could really feel when I saw it, but it was just like that. Should I say it was an overwhelming gap?
I felt this way when I first saw Jack.
Even when Jack used his power, I didn’t say anything, but I was in awe. That’s what I’m feeling right now.
The fight didn’t last long. What should I say, maybe it was a gap.
Valentine has only used his powers for a short period of time in the past 400 years.
Charlotte, who was next to Cell, knew it well.
The day I first saw Valentine return to his original form.
That time when Jack wiped out the assassins at once at Ascendant’s villa where he was staying.
Probably never since then.
Valentine is strong.
The loud noise died down. The impact sound disappeared. It was quiet. The proof that Valentine is strong is right there. The result.
Just look at the results.
In the right hand of Valentine floating in the sky, the neck of an old man who introduced himself as the Evil Bulgun was held.
The old man’s body was in a miserable state.
One arm was badly torn off, as if it had been eaten by a beast, and both legs were shattered. The chest was deeply gouged out, and the whole body was covered in blood. The head was originally black, but now it was mixed with red.
Of course, Valentine’s body wasn’t in good shape either.
His clothes were torn, his arms were slightly cut, there was a long gash across his abdomen, and there was a mark on his pubic bone that looked like it had been pierced by something. But Valentine was the winner.
Valentine said.

[Tell me everything you know about the Emperor of the West.]
The mouth of the evil spirit is torn. It wasn’t like there was any pressure or anything. He just smiled eerily with a blood-stained face.
“I don’t like it.”
A smile appears on Valentine’s lips too.

[Then it is done.]
Knock knock.
The evil spirit’s neck snaps. Valentine lets go. The body falls into the sea. As soon as the splashing sound is heard, Valentine swings his palm in that direction, from top to bottom.
Accordingly, the mana and soul energy in the air move. The black air currents draw a rainbow-like arc and plunge into the sea.
Kwaaaaaaaang-!!!
A palm print was created in the sea with a loud noise.
It was over 10 meters in size and hundreds of meters deep.
The body of the evil spirit was nowhere to be found. It had just disappeared along with a certain radius of the sea.
Cell and Charlotte tried to go to Valentine’s side, but they couldn’t. Valentine raised his hand.
That was a signal not to come.
The doubt lasted only a moment.
During the fight with the Evil Bulgun, the surrounding terrain changed. A cliff collapsed, and another cliff was created on top of the collapsed cliff. There was a man on top of that cliff.
A man standing as if in one with nature.
A man who seemed to be somewhere between middle-aged and old. The man’s hair was a mix of black and white, and he had a sword hanging from his waist.
Valentine looked at him and felt nervous inside.
It felt refreshing because it had been a long time since I had been here. I was nervous.
Ha, this makes me laugh.
Eastern Continent, isn’t this place very different from what he’s seen?
Why are there so many strong people?
The man who just died, Akbulgun, was a transcendent being and had powers similar to the Dragon Lord who had been killed 400 years ago. However.
The man standing on the cliff was so strong that even the Dragon Lord could not compare to him.
Valentine felt that they were on the same level.
They are said to be strong at the same level.
The man said to Valentine.
“The person who just died was one of our people.”
[so?]
“It’s nothing special, how was it?”
[It was strong. In its own way.]
The man laughs.
“That will be fine.”
Valentine was ready to fight. He took the words that said that was enough as a call to fight.
But it was a misjudgment.
The man neither drew his sword nor raised his spirits.
Instead, I ask this:
“Why do you want to fight?”
[If my person had been killed by someone, I would have fought.]
The smile on the man’s lips deepens.
“I would have done the same, but didn’t you just say that the Evil Bulgun is strong?”
[That’s right.]
“The unmanned fought and lost. What matters is the ending.”
Advertisements
[end?]
“If you insulted his death, called him pathetic, weak, or spat on his corpse, then you should have taken up the sword, but you didn’t.”
Valentine felt strange. That man seemed to be obsessed with something. More precisely, belief.
A very firm belief.
“I judged the dead unmanned man to be strong. Then it’s fine. Even so.”
[Even if?]
“Even if you had spat on the corpse of the evil spirit, I probably wouldn’t have fought.”
[… … .]
“I mean, I wouldn’t do anything to fight a tired warrior. Aren’t you tired?”
Valentine laughed too. Look at this.
[I’m tired now, so I’m no match for you, so I’ll just ignore you?]
The man shakes his head.
“That’s not it. If you were to fight me while your body was still intact, one of us would definitely die. Someone your age would know that I’m not wrong. Don’t you?”
[Some parts are true.]
“Fighting is a proof of one’s strength. I will not fight unless the enemy is in perfect condition. Even if I defeat an exhausted enemy, it is not proof of one’s strength, but rather the result of an opportunist taking advantage of the opportunity.”
The man stopped talking. He met Valentine’s eyes. Valentine also met the man’s eyes.
After a long time, the man asks.
“It seems there are many strong people in the Western Continent.”
[… … .]
“I would like to ask you what your relationship with the Emperor of the West is. Can you answer me?”
Valentine thought for a moment. What should he say?
For now, he is the Emperor’s teacher. But.
The reason Valentine came to this continent was not pure curiosity. It was because he was worried.
In this situation, I wanted to say this.
[The Emperor’s teacher and a woman.]
The man blinks for a moment, as if he had never imagined that answer.
“Haha, I see. A teacher and a woman… … The Emperor of the West truly possesses great abilities.”
The man laughed like that and then added one word.
“The Emperor is now in the palace.”
Then he turns around. Valentine calls out to the man.
[for a moment.]
The man turns around.
“Do you have anything else to say?”
[What is your name?]
The man didn’t answer, as if he had a zipper on his mouth. He just smiled.
“Find out. You killed my man, so you deserve to suffer that much.”
The man raised his right hand and cut a path in front of him. A space opened up. He then walked towards it. In an instant, the man disappeared.
Valentine continued to stand in the air.
That technique just now is surprisingly simple. To be exact, it is a simple technique for the transcendent beings who lived on the Western Continent.
That’s what happens when you use teleportation magic with your soul.
It is said that Jack and Iskandar fought while breaking the space. At that time, Iskandar called the technique ‘shrinkage’, and Jack also called it ‘shrinkage’ because he didn’t have a name for it. The one that the man from the eastern continent used now is ‘shrinkage’.
If we look at this differently, it means that there are people who use ‘magic’ on this continent.
What could it be?
The chimeras that Jack saw, barring any variables, would have happened at least 20 years from now.

The monster came from the Eastern Continent. That means something happened on the Eastern Continent during that time.
Coming up. The monster called curiosity.
-Mr. Valentine… … .
“Are you okay?”
Valentine turned at the sound of Cell and Charlotte’s voices.
The cell asks.
-That guy just now, is that what I felt right?
[What did you feel?]
Seriously, Cell thought, that guy from earlier seemed like he was on the same level as Jack.
I guess the cell’s expression was enough.
[Yes, you felt right. That man just now was in a similar state to me, and he was also in a similar state to ‘that guy’.]
-… … .
“… … .”
Guessing and confirming something are never the same thing, as Cell and Charlotte just did.
Charlotte said jokingly.
“Did we come to the wrong place?”
It was the same question Ron had raised. Was this the right place? Was there another continent besides this one?
But Valentine shook his head, just as Jack had done.
[This is the right place. This is the only remaining continent.]
Charlotte put the blanket she was holding over Valentine’s shoulders. “Thank you,” Valentine said softly, and Charlotte couldn’t help but smile.
There was a brief exchange of words like, “You must have had a hard time. Shouldn’t you drink the elixir?” when Cell changed the subject.
-Are you going to where the boss is? I heard it was called the palace.
Valentine smiles.
I don’t know where the place called Uigung is. There are people living there, so I guess I’ll have to ask around, but I’m not sure.
[I don’t want to go right away because it’s annoying.]
-… … .
[If he had come to the Eastern Continent and the sights he saw were different from what he had expected, he should have returned to the Western Continent. He should have come and thought about countermeasures, and ‘thought together’. But he didn’t.]
I don’t know the details about the place called Uigung, but one thing was certain.
Using a doctor means that he is involved in treatment, and Jack is currently receiving treatment. He must have fought with someone. He would not have stayed still with his personality, so he must have caused a huge mess here.
Even though I’m using all my energy like this, I can’t even see it. Either I didn’t notice it or I’m pretending not to notice it. It’s probably one of the two, and the former is more likely.
That’s why it was more annoying.
Even if others don’t know that he’s not dead, Valentine knows. He’s definitely not the type of guy to die in a place like this.
It’s a new fact, but there’s one thing that no one has mentioned.
Inevitability, the cause and effect of the world is pulling him towards it.
Now this whole wide world revolves around him.
That is cause and effect and inevitability.
Valentine said.
[The ship might have been damaged, what about the clothes you brought?]
“… … I’m done. Except for this blanket.”
[Then there’s nothing I can do.]
The three bodies moved slowly. They crossed the sky and landed on the cliff.
[Let’s wander around for a bit.]
In that way, the Western Continent, the pinnacle of the past, also set foot on the Eastern Continent.
