Episode 1003
Episode 246 Battle for the Great Desert of Mithra (13)
‘Lord Elona… … .’
Jin gritted his teeth as he remembered her corruption in the Holy Water Pavilion.
After meeting Keliak and wearing the crown of holy water, she has killed countless people, and even if she regains her old spirit, it will never be the same.
“… … “I reject the contract.”
Shuri made a threatening sound at Masaloon and entered the red house. Masal Rune shrugged his shoulders in surprise.
[I don’t understand… … However, you cannot be forced, so Masalun will respect you. Instead, if you change your mind at any time, visit Masaloon again. Masalun will then go to harass the enemy tribe again.]
Marsaloon began to fly beyond the barrage. Jin stood still for a while, waiting for Elona to get closer.
The binge drinking was gradually subsiding.
Since Elona was approaching without hiding her unique vast energy at all, the Red Mystery tribe also decided to observe the situation for now.
So the battlefield gradually became quiet.
Eventually, when Elona’s image began to appear beyond the red waves and the dense sand storm, Jin could even hear her footsteps.
Jeopuk, Jeopuk, Jeopuk.
Instead of Zipple’s white hair, his golden hair, burning like the sun, shined clearly even in the darkness of the battlefield. There was a small noise like metal rubbing against the water pipe floating overhead.
“It’s been a while, Lord Elona.”
Jin made eye contact with Elona.
The characteristic infinitely clear and clean eyes were not visible. Elona’s eyes seemed to be full of intricately shining crystals, like opal.
“Jin Runkandel.”
About ten steps away, Elona stopped walking.
There was silence for a while. Jin recalled her changed appearance and the old self he knew, and Elona felt an unknown emotion surge as soon as she saw him.
But it wasn’t a feeling that was too much of a stir.
“What brought you to the Great Desert?”
“We have come to destroy the passage connecting La Prarosa and Inse.”
“You’re still honest.”
“Because it’s something that doesn’t need to be hidden.”
“Then I will be honest with you. “My heart becomes complicated when I see you change because of that thing called the Holy Water Gwan.”
Elona did not respond but waited for Jin’s next words.
“Looking back, you were a complicated person to me from the beginning. I first became aware of your existence while searching for the tombs of our family’s first head, Temar Runkandel. Some records call you a monster… … “You are described as a massacre, and in some records you seem to regret your past.”
“What do you want to say?”
“In the end, when you broke the long seal of the secret palace and came out into the world, my friend, like you now, was in a state of corruption, not of his own will, but due to the mistakes and schemes of others. The Beradin Jeep. And Kyeong-eun, I heard that she cared for that guy a lot.”
At those words, Elona once again remembered Beradin’s voice she heard in hell. The voice that screamed at her not to forget.
She hasn’t been able to ask the Tower of Stories a question about him yet.
“A thousand years ago, and even then. Our relationship was clearly adversarial. However, what I saw in person when I was fighting Zito, Lord Elona, did not match any records or information. just… … “I should say he seemed like a person in need of light.”
“… … light?”
“So to speak, you can chase after it. It’s like a guidepost that can help you get as far away from unwanted and terrible things as possible. That’s probably why the Lord cherished and loved Beradin.”
Sigh, Elona burst out laughing.
“If that’s true, then I was such a funny being. Terrible things you don’t want? If you really didn’t want to do it, you wouldn’t have to do it. “Don’t rely on abstract things like lights or milestones.”
“That is correct. But people are not that perfect beings. “There are times when life becomes difficult for everyone.”
“Then you could have chosen to kill yourself.”
“There are times when that is not possible. “The Red Jade Tomb that is here right now is also cursed and cannot do that.”
Jin took out the red jade and showed it to me.
“I have no such curse.”
“Not just magic or power, but some fate can also be said to be a curse. Is that thing called Seongsu-gwan the problem? “You have become more narrow-minded than I remember.”
“Maybe so. Seongsugwan is something that is very far from rationality and reason. “It is designed to listen only to the commands of the first being to recognize it.”
“Are you aware of that fact and still wearing that horrible coffin?”
“I don’t see any reason to take it off.”
“Of course if it’s a person… … .”
“I am not a person, Jean Runkandel. It seems like they’re classifying me as a human just because I look like this. So there is no use in imposing human standards on me. “You and I, our consciousness itself is different.”
“to? “You’re not a person?”
“human… … no?”
Belize and Linpa, who were quietly listening, spoke.
Elona heard their voices and was reminded of the purpose of her coming to the Great Desert.
“I feel like I’ve spent a lot of time on pointless conversation. “Are you the Ming Dynasty who escaped through the passage?”
“Wait, wait! Before we fight, let’s clear up some of our questions. Elona Ziffle, what are you if not a person?”
“that’s right… … what?”
“Are you going to call me God? Isn’t that right? You said you had free will and emotions before you put that crown on? Even now, I don’t think those two elements are completely absent.”
Elona took a moment to choose what to say in reply.
But I couldn’t choose. He could not classify himself into any species. Since it was no longer a tree, it could not be called a tree, and since it was never a person in the first place, it could not be called a person.
‘If I had to really ask, it would be a biological weapon… … .’
Elona raised her magic power without saying those words out loud.
Then, before even three seconds had passed, the entire battlefield began to tremble and seething with magical energy. Dozens of huge cubes made of magical energy, like Mount Tai, were already rising.
That pressure alone was enough to require the group to put up a protective shield. The enemy air fortress and fleet far away were all formed with red thunder as a protective shield.
‘I already felt it in hell, but I’m definitely much stronger than before… … .’
Even before wearing the Seongsu crown, Elona was already a prodigy.
However, it was clear that the current Elona had more inaction than that, just like Siron, who had overcome her demonic nature. In addition to the aftereffects of the seal, as before the fall, there are also errors caused by not being perfectly in sync with the sacred water pipe.
“What, you can’t answer!”
“If you want to get a straight answer, just recognize it as a biological weapon.”

“under! Okay, even if it’s a biological weapon. I cherish my greatsword like a brother… … The same goes for the Linpa brothers here.”
“what?”
“Even just a weapon, not a living body, can become family to someone. Of course, since you are a biological weapon, right?”
“What nonsense… … .”
“Beradin Zifl, friend of our Jin brothers. That’s what he told us before we came here. You are a precious family member, so please don’t treat me with too much pain. Now that I see it, we should have asked Beradin to tell your family to take it easy. Oh, the guy named Betty you mentioned back then was originally said to be a biological weapon, right? “Brother Rinpa.”
“that’s right… … “I did.”
“Then what else is important? Elona Ziffle. You are just going to be rescued by Brother Jin and us one day. Until then, live as you please. “You will have to pay for the sins you have committed in the end, but even then, Beradin will not let you go.”
“in the heart… … Lifting… … There is a corner… … Beradin. Once a brother, a brother… … Family, family… … “Friends are friends.”
Wow!
Spears formed of magical power were pouring out from the cubes that emerged behind Elona’s back. Jin, Belize, and Rinpa swung their swords in all directions and struck down the falling spears.
“I wonder if Beradin Ziffle will still think of me that way even after I kill you all.”
At that point, Jin felt that Elona’s eyes were slightly shaken.
‘If you were stimulated by anything from the conversation just now, it means that the brainwashing applied to Lord Elona is not perfect.’
The spears pouring out of the cube were powerful enough, but their power was weaker than expected. In the first place, Elona had no intention of engaging in a full-scale battle with Jin and his group.
Her goal was to destroy the passage to La Prarosa, and to achieve that, the answer was to ignore Jin and his party as much as possible.
In an instant, Elona passed the group with her magic power and moved forward. However, her cubes continued to remain in place and attack the three people, so the group was unable to chase after them at the same speed as Elona.
The enemy tribes immediately read the atmosphere here and began firing mainly at Jin and Tuwang. Thanks to this, Elona was able to distance herself from the three more comfortably.
But Jin also has no intention of stopping Elona.
“There are things in this world that can never be broken by force, Lord Elona. La Fra Rosa is like that, and so is the true self that you have now forgotten.”
A low voice filled with the energy of a voice broke through the fire and reached Elona’s ears. Elona heard the voice and looked back for a moment.
Both my reason and my inner self were becoming complicated. Reason was confused because Jin had not come to guard the passage to La Prarosa, and the desire to hear those words again and the desire to deny it rose up inside him.
However, Elona turned around again and did not approach Jin and the group. She just silently began pouring her magical energy towards the passage of La Fra Rosa.
Jin and his party left the cube Elona left behind and began moving outside the center of the great desert.
It was necessary to show the enemies that there was no need to protect La Prarosa. If you try to stop it somehow, the enemy will send more troops.
“… … Let’s go back, brothers. Now, until we can throw the release device inside, we have no choice but to leave the rest to Brother Ban and the other brothers.”
