A quest message appears before your eyes.
But that didn’t catch Theo’s eye.
“Identity… … . Are you really calling that a question, little brother?”
Thorkel chuckled and spread his hands wide.
“What? Of course it’s my brother.”
Kwakwakwakwa!
Magi and madness continued to rise up, forming a whirlwind.
Kwarung! Kwarung!
The black magic and yellow brain energy collided, causing explosions in all directions.
Now Theo was showing himself to be no less powerful than Thorkell.
“He is Ragnar’s successor, and he will soon sit on the throne and change Ragnar. I think that’s the right way to think about it.”
Theo watched as Thorkell’s eyes slowly turned black.
“Change Ragnar? You? You’re the one who took on the identity that Ragnar had been rejecting?”
“Ragnar’s identity!”
Thorkel shouted as if he did not like what Theo said.
The veins from his face to his neck swelled up as if they were about to burst.
“Only the victors get it! I only claim that right as the rightful heir!”
Before I knew it, both of my eyes had turned completely black like black marbles.
Theo recalled a piece of history that every man of Ragnar must know from the sight of his opponent.
-The appearance of the Gwangryongje.
He said that both his reason and his body were consumed by madness and that the black and white parts of his eyes were indistinguishable… … .
“The throne you are talking about doesn’t seem to be my father.”
“Of course! He is nothing more than a cowardly traitor who took advantage of the weaker ruler to usurp power! That position was originally your grandfather’s.”
Grandfather.
The only person who could call them that was Emperor Gwangryong.
“As my grandfather’s sole successor, I will now move to reclaim my rightful place.”
Thorkel charged at Theo, kicking the saddle of his iron horse.
Theo also kicked the ground hard at the same time, slashing Drake’s blade upward.
Kwaaaaang!
It was the second clash.
* * *
There were exactly two places on the altar of the Resurrection that one would not dare to interfere with.
Where two dragons, Julius and Edgar, collide.
And another place.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Kwarung, kwarrurung-
Woof woof… … !
This was where Theo and Thorkel clashed.
The greatsword and the black spear flashed.
The three swords became lightning and struck the spot where Thorkell was.
Chachachachachang!
In the frenzied battle between the two, there was no room for Troyvan to intervene.
“Theo… … No, was the temporary 5th squad leader that strong?”
“You’re going to go head-to-head with the Black Iron Captain. Huh!”
“I’ve heard it many times. No matter how I look at it, it’s a ridiculous rate of development.”
The captains of the Baek Gap Yonggi Unit were all surprised and very happy.
As the unit gets stronger, it means that the unit’s power also increases.
At that level, wouldn’t it be possible to say that he is not only one of the few heirs, but also one of the top nine dragons?
It proved that his words about becoming the next Baek Gap-yong Corps commander were not an empty promise.
Of course, the reason Theo was able to show equal fighting spirit with Thorkel was because he was currently in all-buff mode.
With normal power, it would be enough to divide a few numbers.
Because Thorkel was already a complete drone in and of himself.
But that was exactly what mattered to Theo.
That he could fight Thorkel with only his own strength.
Doesn’t that mean that you can win depending on how you fight?
Phew! Phew!

“You’ve done quite a bit of… research on me.”
Thorkel glared at Theo with a slightly distorted face.
The fact that he had not yet subdued Theo, despite revealing the hidden energy of the Gwangryongje, was nothing short of humiliating to him.
“Because you were someone I had to go through in the end.”
Three swords were lined up around Theo.
“Well, I think I can really overcome it now.”
“Okay. Let’s see how long you’ll keep up that arrogant attitude.”
Theo had a strong feeling that Thorkell’s face, hidden beneath his helmet, seemed very distorted.
Phew!
Kwaang-
And then the clash continued again.
Kwarrrrung!
The magic and lightning that spread out in all directions fought over territory, trying to somehow eat each other.
‘Next time, the left side of the nape of the neck?’
In that moment, the black curtain that had briefly obscured the two people’s vision was pierced and the spear blade stabbed deep into the area.
Theo managed to move the Mysterious Sword and barely managed to knock it aside, while the Yongsal Sword and the Wolbaek Sword cut through the guy’s waist like scissors from the left and right, respectively.
But Thorkel deflected all of those attacks by spinning his body like a top.
Chaechaechaechae!
It was amazing that Theo could freely control three swords with his telekinesis, but it was also amazing how Thorkel was able to block them all with just one spear and even sneak in while attacking.
If we only consider weapon proficiency, I thought that it could be compared to Plum Blossom Princess.
If it weren’t for the powerful inspiration from the sword’s orb, Theodo would have certainly been caught up in that guy’s dazzling spearmanship.
Shhhhhh!
‘The art of spearmanship, the art of protection, the art of magic, the eye for detail, even the smallest habits… everything is so similar to the Emperor Gwangryong.’
Theo couldn’t help but recall the information he had seen about the Gwangryongje Emperor while working as an informant in the past.
Heukseol and the Information Bureau had a vast amount of data related to the Gwangryongje, from his trivial eating habits to handwritten letters he exchanged with his friends.
I found it strange even at the time.
Clearly, wasn’t Emperor Gwangryong punished with the death penalty?
There was also information that he had been beheaded by Kyle’s sword, so in fact, all documents regarding the Gwangryongje should have been destroyed.
But it still remained until then.
Even though I had doubts, I just thought it was nothing serious, thinking it was probably a precaution against a possible rebellion.
But now that I think about it, it doesn’t seem like that was the case.
Doesn’t this seem like something that was expected?
-I hope the Gwangryongje will return someday.
Maybe the Black Dragon knew all this, and that’s why he trained Black Snow to quickly grasp information related to the Gwangryongje.
And Thorkel’s sudden death may have been the work of the Black Dragon and Black Snow.
However, unlike before when Thorkel’s identity was revealed much later, he was quickly discovered now due to the butterfly effect caused by Theo.
‘How on earth is Emperor Gwangryong still alive?’
If the head had been cut off, it would clearly not be possible to survive.
Then suddenly Theo’s mind wandered to another thing.
Another power that Thorkel wields, Magi, crosses my mind.
‘If it is true that Thorkel joined hands with the Holy Demon Church, isn’t it possible that Emperor Gwangryong also joined the Holy Demon Church?’
Directly in touch with providence and laws, and far from death.
Then wouldn’t it be possible to be ‘resurrected’ by him?
-The Gwangryongje began to go mad in earnest after he crossed the Great Wall under the pretext of exploring the Mahae… … At this time, the Gwangryongje’s eyes were covered with demonic energy… … .
One of the documents I saw in my past life said something similar.
‘Then, is it really true that the Gwangryongje… is resurrected?’
This made it seem like many of Theo’s questions were being resolved on their own.
Why were the Black Dragon and his sworn brothers, including Julius, chasing ‘something’ for so long?
It seems like the three characters hiding inside Ragnar have been left alone for a long time.
Edra began to expel the weeds only after they had raised their heads.
Why was Troyvan so obsessed with obtaining the relics of the Ancient Dragon?
Why was the Holy Demon Church with Troyban… …!
Kwaaaaang!
Theo pushed Thorkell back a long way and asked with a cold face.
“I’ve been mistaken all along. Troyvan didn’t join hands with the Holy Demon Church. From the beginning, Troyvan was just one of the many pawns the Holy Demon Church used. Right?”
Underneath the helmet, only Thorkel’s black eyes glowed menacingly. There was no answer.
“If Troyban was created by the Gwangryongje who relied on the Holy Demon Church… … then all of this makes sense.”
The executives of Troyban, including Ed, always had something to say whenever they clashed with Theo.
Those who shouted that they were the ‘real ones’.
At least from their perspective, it wasn’t a lie.
Because Troyban would firmly believe that they are the ‘true’ Ragnar.
If that’s the case, then it’s also true that Edgar infiltrated Ragnar and collected the relics of the ancient dragon.
It is easy to understand why his numerous followers were so loyal and deep-rooted.
Perhaps Thorkel is one of those seeds that the Dragon Lord and Troyvan planted long ago.
The Black Dragon would have been fighting off Troyban’s clutches from the shadows, and would have discovered Thorkel’s true identity relatively recently.
“… … .”
There was still no answer from Thorkel.
Theo took that as a silent affirmation.
“It’s funny. The author, who once tried to defeat the
Theo laughed heartily.
He was sincere.
It’s a nice thing to say about conversion, but isn’t it just that they betrayed others because their position was disadvantageous, making excuses for this and that?
“… … How dare someone who doesn’t even know the truth talk so much.”
“I don’t really want to know the truth you guys are talking about.”
Thorkel remained silent for a moment, then slowly opened his mouth.
“I still don’t like you, Theo.”
A voice that resonates ominously.
“I was lucky enough to be chosen and sit in that position, but now I’m talking like I know everything… … . Haa!”
“You were lucky? Yeah. Maybe it seemed that way to you.”
Theo didn’t feel it was worth refuting.
In his eyes, it seemed like Thorkel was born to a talented mother, received all kinds of support, and even won the trust of the Emperor of Light, becoming the captain of the Black Iron Corps.
Thorkel must have lived hard and fiercely in his own way.
And the same was true for Theo.
In the end, this wasn’t a fight to see who was right.
Rather, it was a fight to see who fought more fiercely.
But there was a time when Theo could never reach her even if he stretched out his hand. It was a shame that her real appearance was not much different.
“But what can we do? Whatever you were aiming for, it seems like your plan has gone down the drain.”
The black flower was not being retrieved because Theo and Julius kept blocking the path to prevent the guys from approaching.
Since the fact that Thorkel was a spy of Troyban and the Light Dragon Emperor had already been revealed one by one, there was no way he could gain a foothold in Ragnar.
Moreover, the black iron girdles were completely blocked by the white armored dragon girdles and were unable to move.
Thorkel’s plan to take them by surprise had already failed.
but,
“Am I a bubble? Me? I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Thorkel instead laughed.
Theo frowned slightly, thinking that the guy was bluffing, and then he heard a strange sound.
Doo doo doo doo!
Somewhere the sound of horse hooves roughly hitting the ground could be heard,
Keeeeek!
A sound that seemed to be the cry of a dragon was heard in the sky.
“What is that…?”
“White Dragon? What is this!”
To the west. There was a black cavalry corps charging forward, raising a cloud of dust.
The letters written on the flag fluttering above their heads caught Theo’s eyes.
-Black iron belt.
And to the east, across the sky, a flock of white-armored wyverns were flying in formation.
The names and emblems written on the flags they were carrying were also familiar.
-Baek Gap-yong’s regiment.
“… … !”
The appearance of new black iron and white armored dragon cavalry.
Theo and the crew’s expressions hardened in the absurd situation.
“Didn’t you say a little while ago? Troyvan is another Ragnar created by the Light Dragon Emperor.”
Thorkel smiled bitterly, saying that it was you who had fallen into the trap, not him.
“Then wouldn’t it be strange if there were another black iron or white armored dragon?”
