Episode 246 Battle for the Great Desert of Mithra (21)

“So we didn’t pursue them at all because annihilation was impossible.”
“Yes, Keliak Ziffle. Above all, the biggest reason was that there was an unpredictable threat lurking beyond the portal. “If we pursue the Bamul Alliance too aggressively and the Ming Dynasty suddenly pops out, everyone except me could be wiped out.”
Tower of Stories.
Keliak made eye contact with Elona.
In this Great Desert Battle, Elona did not attack the Bamul Alliance until they had safely escaped. Instead, as soon as the alliance disappeared, they joined the enemy clan and poured magical power across the dimensional rift.
“I guess so. “It’s a reasonable choice.”
“Can I just leave now?”
“okay.”
As Elona left, Keliak shrugged his shoulders.
“I’m sure. Seongsugwan is rapidly losing control. “This hurts more than losing Draka.”
“Huh, then what should I do? Keliak friend. “If Elona comes back to her senses, won’t she try to kill us all first?”
“Just because you are not completely controlled does not mean you can have complete free will. “It would be much better for Elona Ziffle to belong to Seongsu-gwan.”
“In what way?”
“In that you don’t have to face your fallen self. Also, her past that she had forgotten… … “You just keep focusing on injecting her with poison.”
“Okay, Keliak friend.”

La Prarosa.
“Whoa… … .”
Ban took a breath and looked around.
The main temple of Tusinjeon Temple had collapsed and was covered with rubble. The city where the hearts of the dead brothers were hung was devastated, and most of the casualties were having a hard time even moving around.
Now, 10 minutes have passed since the shelling stopped.
‘The attack will probably begin again within 30 minutes. It’s been like that all this time… … .’
Since the cracks opened in the Great Desert and the full-scale war began, La Prarosa has endured bombardment from enemy tribes for more than 17 hours a day on average.
Moreover, as just like before, Elona Zipple’s magic was added for several hours, and the pressure continued to increase due to space errors, so everyone had no choice but to become exhausted.
It was even more so because four Tuwangs were missing.
“From today on, even if a rift opens, I will not let the Tuwang brothers go outside.”
Otuwang Boras nodded at Ban’s words.
“Good idea, Brother Tushin. If more Tuwang brothers are left out here, there will be no answer. “The attacks of enemies beyond the dimension are becoming more powerful and persistent.”
It was true.
No matter how strong the Ming Dynasty was, they could not continue to endure under these adverse conditions.
“But I’m worried about what’s out there, Brother Boras. There’s no way Brother Jin doesn’t know that the enemy is attacking us, and there’s no sign of it stopping.”
“I believe it’s not because Brother Jin is being pushed out, but because he has a plan. Moreover, brothers Belize, Rinpa, Garmund, and Teto have been added, so whatever the plan, the Jin brothers will be able to move more easily.”
Boras took out a bottle of gem wine from his pocket and handed it to Ban. As Ban brought her drink to her mouth, Lingling, who was sitting on her shoulder, smelled her and turned his head.
[Ugh, how on earth is this so delicious? Anyway, Ban and the Ming Dynasty sometimes don’t understand.]
“You have to have an optical heart to truly experience the taste of gemju.”
[Even if I develop a mad heart, I won’t eat this.]
“Ckekekekeul, linglin, even if you’re not a fanatic, kids like you shouldn’t drink alcohol. By the way, are you still seeing any signs of Jin and consciousness trying to connect?”
Lingling shook her head in response to Boras’ question.
[I find that strange too. It’s enough for other royal families to go out with royalties, but I can’t hear that idiot at all. Rather, it feels like the will of something else is being conveyed.]
“The will of something else?”
[Yes, I should say it is a very dark will, it is difficult to express.]
“It’s probably the witch’s will, Lingling. There is a high possibility that the spatial error occurring in La Prarosa is related to him. And since you are a being born from the original chaos, that is, the power of the witch, there is a high possibility that you are under its influence.”
Ban answered instead of Boras. Lingling wrinkled her nose, as if she was offended that she was associated with a witch.
[Hmph, my home is here in Lapras, my family is Ban, the Ming Dynasty, and that idiot. what… … If that annoying guy, who is a witch or something, feels even the slightest bit sorry for me, I wish he would just open the portal.]
“Hehe, why does the witch have to feel sorry for you, Linglin?”
[Boras, he gave birth to me, so he can be said to be a kind of creator, right? It means he has to take responsibility. If she meets that witch, she will ask her to grant her one wish.]
“Hoo, even a wish?”
[okay! Since my class is feeling a little worse because of me, I’m going to ask them to solve it. It is said that witches have powers stronger than the gods.]
For a moment, Ban and Boras imagined Lingling making a wish to Heluram.
“… … Ringling. The witch will probably grant your wish. But it won’t be in the way you expect.”
“Brother Tushin is right. Maybe if you make that wish… … Should I erase you from the world? Then Brother Ban can save up the power he uses to make you comfortable.”
[Ugh, what is that!]
“But don’t worry, you won’t have to wish on a witch. Even if he tries to harm you someday, I will stop him.”
[Hehe, really? So Van is stronger than a witch?]
“hmm… … “That’s a difficult question to answer.”
[why?]
“For example, if someone were to ask me who the strongest person in the world is, I would be able to answer right away that it is me. However, if you ask whether I am stronger than nature such as the sea, the sun, or the wind, it is difficult to answer. “It is like that.”
[aha… … But I can’t imagine Van losing to someone.]
“Haha, we can’t even imagine that, Linglin.”
“Just for a moment… … .”
Ban opened his mouth again as if something occurred to him.
“If me and the witch were to fight, I think I would have the absolute upper hand for just a moment. “If I can cut the witch at that moment, it will be my victory, and if I cannot, it will be my defeat.”
[Does that mean that Ban can become stronger than the sun or the sea for just an instant?]
“Yes. Even those can be cut down with a single sword.”
It was only half-joking, but Lingling and Boras nodded, feeling somewhat in agreement.

“Well, I guess I’m done with the jokes. “It’s time to adjust the herbal medicine for my brothers.”
“Thank you, Brother Boras.”
Just as Boras was about to leave, Tantel was suddenly seen running from a distance.
“Brother Tushin!”
“Brother Tantel? “What’s going on?”
Tantel suffered the least amount of damage during the war. He was retrieving the light hearts of his dead brothers that had been hung on the doors of every house in the collapsed city.
Then, he discovered some strange fragments and quickly came to report it to Ban.
“Take a look at this, Brother Tushin. “It just so happened that the Boras brothers were there too.”
“This… … .”
“It’s the perennial season, right?”
Ancient perennial season.
That’s an ore that Laprassa also has quite a bit of, but it’s not in this form. All of them are made of weapons and stored in the armory.
The ancient iron that Tantel brought was in the form of a crushed stone that had been torn from something. It was clearly an item that could not normally be found in an empty city.
[uh… … ! half! I can feel the nerd’s energy very faintly in this thing?]
Lingling was feeling the spiritual energy used in the ancient iron protection box of the liberation device. He was so weak that he couldn’t even recognize it. Lingling can be recognized because there was a time when she was one with Jin.
The Ming Dynasty’s pupils widened. Even Ban looked at the Lingling and the Permanent Iron fragments alternately, his face glowing with color.
“Brother Jin was trying to send something for us… … !”
“Oh oh?”
“Hmm, if you think about it badly, it could be a torn piece of armor. Looking at the purity of the perpetual iron, it seems highly likely that it is simply a box for shock protection, Brother Tushin.”
“Brother Tantel, how many brothers are fighters who can move quickly?”
“About seven.”
“Then, leave only two people to assist in the treatment of Brother Boras, and take the rest with you and search the entire area where the fragment was found. “Take Brother Kaio with you in case an attack continues during the search, but if the bombardment begins, return to the main hall without delay.”
“Yes, Brother Tushin!”
“Brother Tushen, then I will finish preparing the decoction for this Mannyeoncheon and then analyze it in detail. If my guess is correct, what’s more important than this perpetual iron is what’s inside it. “They must have deliberately used a perpetual iron box to protect against dimensional errors and the impact of artillery fire!”
Tantel and Boras left.
First, Ban petted Ling Ling. If Lingling had not recognized the spirit right away, the Ming Dynasty would have never recognized that the Permanent Iron Fragment was an item sent by Jin.
[Hehe, I did well, class.]
“That was great, Ling Ling. Now I have to repeat the last bombardment, so you too go and help Brother Boras.”
[huh!]
Soon, the class sat still and began to think back to the moment when they had defended against the artillery fire. The purpose is to check whether an object such as an ancient perpetual iron has ever been caught in the protective shield spread throughout the main hall of Tusinjeon.
Half of the students were able to check their answers before long.
‘An ancient perennial has never been caught on my shield. It was all the red brain energy and magic power of the subspecies. Then, this object crossed the dimension and was immediately summoned into La Prarosa.’
However, the possibility of being summoned from within La Prarosa like this every time was low. If we roughly divide the enemies’ attacks, only about 10% ignored the shield and struck directly inside.
‘The high heat and shock waves emitted by the red thunder energy and magic power are enough to destroy even objects wrapped in iron. The items sent by Brother Jin will often pass through with them, so I will have to control the shield more precisely from now on. So that we can take immediate action when something other than red thunder and magic is detected.’
