Chapter 539
Episode 145. omen(8)
* * *
There were about 20,000 casualties in the emperor’s army and 2,000 in Geomwangseong.
The 20,000 casualties of the emperor’s army consisted of all knights and magicians, not ordinary soldiers.
Many pivotal figures, including the imperial sword John Cena Ferrell, were also killed, and more than 90% of spears and war equipment were captured or destroyed.
Most of the casualties in Geomwangseong were Highlan and ordinary knights who gathered for Hiran.
People like Shuras were injured, but key figures in the Barmal Alliance and Hyran suffered little damage. It was difficult to find fatal injuries among those above the level of commander.
The overall death rate was about 30% and 10%, respectively, and the first match was truly an overwhelming victory for the Sword Emperor.
However, both sides suffered devastating damage.
The emperor lost too many talented people to purges without justification. The prestige of the empire would not be the same as before, and neither was the imperial authority.
It wouldn’t be strange if a new rebellion started around the Hensuck family or the Lilith family.
Or they could have gathered around Hailan.
The cause of the empire and the human heart all pointed to High Iran. Unlike the emperor who forgot his honor, Hai Lan kept his promise against his rampage.
A promise not to kill those who flee. Jean and Dante and their people all practiced those words.
Even those who had attacked Hailan until yesterday had a desire to stand on Hailan’s side if they could.
However, Henserk and Lilitha also suffered significant damage, and the fact that there was a jiple behind the emperor was known to all, so that did not happen. There was no way that Hiran would accept those who had pointed their swords until just before.
Above all.
The war is not over yet. The fact that Jiple’s new fleet is heading to Geomwangseong is now known to everyone in the world, not just the battlefield. Fleet flight is being captured everywhere.
Unlike Runkandel, the Barmal Alliance and Highlan did not know about the change in the 1st Magic Tower.
However, looking at the size of the confirmed fleet, it was not difficult to infer that at least Octavia Ziple, and possibly Kelliac, could come.
As Rosa said, it was best to abandon the imperial castle and retreat. But as she expected, Jin wasn’t going to leave.
it was not possible
“Dante… … .”
Dante Hiran.
He was currently trapped in a seal presumably due to the influence of the white stone, and was in a state where no communication was possible.
It was a black seal like an aura.
The black power forming the seal was the taekgi of chaos that Jin had experienced many times. The purity is higher than any takgi that Jin has experienced so far.
Jin was looking at the figure of his friend in the seal unfolding in a semicircle in the middle of the battle.
‘Sir Amela’s arrogance is incomparable, and it is darker than the chaos shown by Yona.’
I feel like it wouldn’t be unreasonable to say that it’s not tak-gi, but spirit-gi.
Jin always easily cut through this kind of seal with the power of the aura and the blue flower, but this time, no matter what he did, it was of no use.
The healing priests of the Holy Kingdom stood next to Jin and showed an apologetic look.
“I’m sorry, Jin. After the first round of healing, while I was away for a while taking care of other injured people… … .”
“Don’t talk like that. If the priests weren’t there, he might have died. And this seal has nothing to do with priests. What we should be sorry for and grateful to the Holy Kingdom is the Bamal Alliance and the Geomwangseong.”
“… … From the beginning of healing, he showed a strangely great resilience.”
After saving Dante from John Cena Ferrell, he told him to rest until he could fight again.
In fact, Jin did not think that Dante would be able to participate in this war again.
Dante’s fragile body, like punishment, had already passed its limits several times.
It seemed that it would take more than three days to walk properly, and at least three months to recover enough to fight.
However, Dante recovered enough to leave the healers in just a few hours after the healing began.
It was the power of the white stone.
Then, like a possessed person, Dante searched for the deepest part of his inner self. He followed the voice of the white stone to the place where his grandfather lay unconscious.
And as soon as he took out the white stone his grandfather had been holding and returned to Daejeon, it was sealed.
“… … Priests, please continue to take care of the injured. The Barmal Union and the Geomwangseong will not forget the grace of the Holy Kingdom.”
“If it weren’t for Kyung, we wouldn’t have been able to fulfill our mission as priests after the Seongguk Incident. Please, I sincerely pray to Ayula that you will not get hurt.”
As the priests retreated, Murakan and Quikantel entered the battle.
“How are the knights?”
“Well, everyone is in the mood that they will never leave Dante. Damn it, that white stone is holding my ankle all the way. Neither I nor Quikantel have ever seen such a seal.”
Dante, hidden by the seal of the takgi, was seen dimly, but the white stone spread a gloomy light in its midst. It looked like Dante’s heart.
“Few humans are disturbed by the fact that the White Stone actually exists.”
“It’s no use saying you can’t use the same power again. It’s not that I don’t understand, but staying still like this is just suicidal… … .”
After Jin manifested the will of Solderlet and Clam, the mirror lost its power.
Every time Jin injected aura, the function was returning little by little, but it was too slow. It could not be used again in war.
I could understand the hearts of the Jindo knights.
Right now, leaving Dante as it is, he doesn’t have the confidence to leave.
Booong-!
I heard Mort’s cry from behind.
Talaris only moved Jin and his party to Mot, but had not yet officially participated in the Sword Emperor’s Crusade.
In the first place, she came here to fulfill her mission not as Jin’s reinforcements, but as the secret wife, so she did not appear to anyone except Jin and her colleagues.
As soon as she appeared, Jin’s heart tightened.
It was because there was no answer if Dante said that he tried to use the white stone and that he would fulfill his mission as the lord of the secret palace.
It is because Dante now looks as if he was sealed for trying to use the white stone.
“Lady Thalaris, Dante… … .”
“I know what you’re worried about, son-in-law.”
Talaris knew what the seal the White Stone was made of. It remains in the records of the secret palace.
“This is the barrier that comes from rejecting chaos. Your friend, Ron’s grandson, is fighting chaos within himself right now. So there is no reason for me to fulfill my mission yet.”
I felt relieved, but the expression ‘still’ bothered me.

‘The barrier created by rejecting chaos… … If Dante is defeated in the fight against chaos and uses that power, Talaris-nim will not help Geomwangseong.’
Bigung presumes that the white stone is Heluram’s object.
And Helluram was a disaster itself. In any era and in any space, the witch’s power brought great disaster to mankind the moment it was manifested. Always, without a single miss.
“son-in-law.”
“Yes, Mr Thalaris.”
“In my opinion, this war may not be just a war between the Empire and the Imperial Palace, and between Zipple and Runcandel.”
A problem for all mankind.
Talaris was accepting the white stone that way.
whiyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy… … !
Full ice formed in Thalaris’ grasp. At the same time, he condensed tremendous energy into the blade of ice and threw it at the seal.
However, even with her blow, not even a small crack appeared in the white stone seal.
Rather, it looked like Talaris was jumping back and breathing.
“… … It is a seal that can withstand even the absolute power of ice. Do you know what this means?”
It means that there is a chaos that even I cannot handle.
Talaris went on.
“Hey, Mistress. That much?”
“It’s not an exaggeration, Black Dragon oppa. Right now, I can’t figure out which of these and the other dangers our Secret Palace is holding back will be more of a problem for the world… … .”
Elona Ziple.
Most of Talaris and Manbing’s powers are always used to keep Elona Ziple’s seal.
She was contemplating whether to block the white stone even if Elona’s seal was partially damaged.
“I guessed that it would be a considerable thing, seeing as Ziple is fretful, but I didn’t expect it to be this much.”
“Dante… … Can you come back?”
“If I told you I couldn’t come back, would you leave him behind?”
Talaris saw similar cases in secret records. Even in that record, humans exposed to chaos became monsters.
Jin was also aware of the existence of a monster engulfed in chaos called Smarion Proch.
Dante may have already crossed the river of no return.
“It’s not like that.”
“I guess we can only hope that Dante will endure the acquired chaos as well as your father and youngest sister. in some ways… … Maybe it’s a good thing that Ziple’s main force is on its way, and Runkandel is waiting nearby. If the Chaos of the White Stone awakens, they have no choice but to fight it whether they like it or not. If it’s not them and us, no one can stop it anyway.”
Great powers are fighting for supremacy in the world.
So, as in the case of the defense of the kingdom, when an incident that could destroy the whole world occurred, it was only natural to solve it first.
“It will be the same for you and your colleagues. At best, Chaos doesn’t wake up until the very end. Then the situation will end with a war or negotiations between the giant powers.”
That moment.
The white stone inside the seal began to emit a more gloomy light. The shape of the light looked like a human mouth laughing at someone.
“… … To be honest, I don’t think that’s very likely. The situation is not good in many ways.”
If war or negotiations continue without chaos waking up, Highlan will perish in one way or another.
Conversely, the same was true when chaos awoke. Even if everyone on the battlefield fought against the chaos, Hyran could not avoid destruction.
In that case, it would be Dante who awakened the chaos.
“Whoa, first I’ll go check out Ron. If even that human wakes up, I’m sure there will be a bit of hope in the Darkness.”
Talaris, who opened the dimensional gate, looked at Garon from the inside, and Jin looked at Dante beyond the seal.
So the two could only hope that their friends would wake up.
