Chapter 543
Episode 145. omen (12)
It is obviously hurtful to one’s pride to be penetrated by a young man with a weak condition who is far behind in terms of status and far behind in terms of age and experience.
However, Kelliac didn’t reveal the scars on his pride, erasing his smile and revealing his honest hatred.
That deep, terrible hatred is like a swamp, and Jin felt his body feel heavy just from facing it.
And the intentional display of hatred was proof that Kelliac was acknowledging Jin.
‘As expected, it’s a sense of intimidation worthy of the absolute leader of Zipple.’
Hatred.
In retrospect, Kelliac has no reason not to hate Jean.
It starts with killing the followers of Ziple when leaving the Storm Castle, impersonating in Tessing and learning the magic of Chenmi, who erased history, killing Andrei and destroying the demon stone, massacring the Colon natives, annihilating the Dark Magic Society and reclaiming the legacy of Leol Ziple. Acquisition, Stealing the Compass, Seongguk Incident, Battle of the West Sea, The Tombs of Temar, Murder of the Wraith, Removal of Barton, Wantaramo Forest, Gaifa Islands, Sota Desert, and even this moment.
Everything that Jin has done since returning is a history that has blocked the path of Kelliac and Zipple without missing a single one.
Killing Kiddard Hall and monopolizing his magic also dealt an indirect blow to Ziffle, and Valeria Hester, whom Ziffle longs for, although not yet aware of Kelliac, has a relationship only with Jean.
Even Beradin resisted mental manipulation under the influence of Jin, and Jin denied the humiliating pact that Runcandel made with Ziple through the Declaration of Demonic Sword Return.
There was not a single reason not to hate Jin as a Zipline.
‘This hatred must be why you did not reach the realm of creation that my father did… … .’
Just like Jean sees through Kelliac.
He, too, was peering into Jin.
‘Excellent, in itself. It’s been a long time since I thought that if Solderlet broke the oath with us and joined Runkandel, it would be because of Shiron or Luna… … Gene Runkandel, seeing it in person, I can see why Solderlet chose you over those two.’
Kelliac even felt resentful of Chiron.
He stayed in second place over his whole life, but even his children, the next generation, are unable to surpass his legacy.
“Sometimes when I talk about you in the Tower of Stories… … My relatives only knew that I took you lightly. It’s a little futile to see that you’re reading my hatred that even they didn’t notice.”
“Why don’t you keep more capable and deep people around you?”
The Bamal Union and the knights of the Imperial Palace all felt Jin’s answers like fire in front of oil.
I am worried that I might be provoking too much against Kelliac, who just before crippled Calmine with a single attack and showed the power to annihilate the entire Geomwang Castle within seconds.
But Jin knew.
He said that no matter what happens, he will never strike a sword until he urges negotiations once.
‘If I had intended to destroy the Geomwangseong by force without compromise and take the white stone, I wouldn’t have started a conversation in the first place. Kelliac Ziple feels burdened by an all-out war with Runcandel.’
There must have been many reasons, such as Shiron’s existence, Runcandel’s potential, and Kingelo’s power.
‘Perhaps Kelliac is also aware that a chaotic monster can awaken from the white stone. no, that’s for sure He knows the value of the white stone better than any of us. That’s why I want to have it.’
Therefore, Kelliac would want to end the situation through negotiations with the Imperial Palace (actually, Runkandel) without armed conflict as much as possible.
In fact, just by Kelliac pulling out the ‘negotiation’ plaque, Zipple’s external prestige was to fall to the ground. Even if the world’s greatest family loses that much of their dragons, magicians, and fleet, it should never be the case for them to prioritize negotiations over fights.
‘Above all, I can’t see the figure of the fire dragon, Kadun.’
Fire Dragon Kadun.
The most powerful fire dragon created by Shinu, the god of fire. Jin was conscious of not seeing Kadun’s appearance from earlier.
Of course, Kadun could be aboard the fleet while transformed into a human. However, Jin judged that the possibility was very low.
‘It’s strange to place the strongest Fire Dragon in an invisible place in a yard that shows off the tremendous magic of flames around the entire fleet, sprinkles firearms on the entire Geomwangseong while pretending not to know, and creates a sense of intimidation.’
Among the fleet of about fifty ships led by Keliac were Ziffle’s dragons. There is no reason why Kadun shouldn’t show off his majesty at the center.
However, it was difficult for Jin to infer the ‘reason why Kelliac did not bring Kadun’.
‘Because without Kadun, there will be problems with Ziple’s air defense? No, even if negotiations are prioritized, it would not mean that an all-out war was not assumed at all, so that is not a reason. then… … .’
Suddenly, Jin remembered the name of another friend.
‘To ensure that the fleet does not include Kadun, Beradin has done something… … ?’
It was correct.
Beradin was currently forced to run wild and created a situation where he had to be protected by Kadun.
Because of this, Kelliac had no choice. If Beradin is over, all the plans that Ziple has prepared so far can go to waste.
Jin doesn’t know that, but he has a strong feeling that Kadun’s absence is the result of his friend’s sacrifice.
“You’re conscious of Kadun’s absence.”
At those words, Jin almost showed a surprised expression.
“Kyung heard that you can use the perfect flame only with the power of that fire dragon.”
“It is only the phoenix, not the guardian dragon, that makes a fire wizard perfect.”
Phi-!
Suddenly, a phoenix appeared behind Kelliac. A phoenix with a reputation for being the strongest along with Tess, Maniere, and Saint Quiche.
It was ‘Bello’.
Indeed, it was the summoning of someone who reached the pinnacle of magic. Belot cast a dark shadow on the Geomwangseong with his huge and blazing body, larger than anything recorded in any literature.
It was literally full of fire.
The Barmal Alliance and Geomwangseong filled the night sky with the flames of the fleet and Belot.
A bigger fire than the legacy of Liol Ziple, which Jin showed through the mirror and the will of the two gods, was dyeing their vision red.
But Jin was not discouraged.
“For some reason, if it’s light… … You seem to know what my phoenix is like.”
“He is the sole god of the flame world and the owner of all the phoenixes. But you still can’t handle his power properly.”
That was the point where Kelliac acknowledged Jin in front of everyone. It was because the expression ‘still’ implied the possibility of the future.
“If you really think so, try blowing up my head right now. I wonder if the power bestowed by Shinu, the Lord God, can pierce Tess’ absolute realm.”
“As I heard, you have a very thick face. How dare you make such a visible bluff against me. Courage worthy of praise.”
Kelliac was finding out that Jin couldn’t summon Tess at this time.
Jin got goose bumps and the fact that he was accurately aware of that fact. They didn’t say such things out of their mouths, but it was an area where they could know instinctively.
“Sir Kelliac is more cautious than I’ve heard. Seeing that he didn’t use Space Blast on me because of the one chance he could summon Tess.”
“It’s not just because of you that I won’t explode your head.”
Kelliac smiled again.
Now, in that smile, not only hatred but also composure were imbued.

“Jean Runkandel.”
“Tell me.”
“I heard that you were generous enough not to catch fleeing enemies. Let me also show the same mercy. Hailan, immediately leave the white stone alone and leave the Geomwangseong. That way no one will die.”
Roaring!
A small spark formed on Kelliac’s finger. He wrote in the air with flame, which was a ‘fire seal’ that only Shinu’s contractors could handle.
In addition, Ziffle swears to rescue Dante Highlan, who was encroached on by the white stone, with all the efforts the family can mobilize, and to send him back to Highlan once he comes back to life.
Everyone in the Geomhwangseong looked at the red glowing letters.
“Along with this, if you accept my conditions, Jiple will do everything in his power to destroy the imperial family that betrayed Hiran.”
Without time to ponder how Kelliac knew Dante’s condition, the knights of Hyran couldn’t help but be agitated for the first time since the incident began.
The promise to destroy the empire didn’t matter too much.
However, if there was something more precious than the pride he had tried to protect even at the cost of giving up his life for the knights of Hiran, it was Sogaju’s life.
The use of the seal of fire meant that Keliac was swearing by his god, Shnu. Kelliac’s condition is unquestionably sincere.
“Zipple knows how to save Dante Hiran. We cannot guarantee that you will be able to save it unconditionally, but we can guarantee a success rate of at least 80%.”
Jin immediately opened his mouth to the knights of Hiran.
“It is a trap. Surely there is no lie in Lord Kelliac’s oath… … .”
The moment Hiran accepts the terms, it will be destroyed by Runcandel, not by Ziple. Lord Kelliac left out the word that he would protect Hyran from Runkandel.
The words behind it didn’t come off.
It was natural for Runcandel to hit Hiran, who agreed to the conditions of Zipple.
If that happens, Runkandel will have to watch Ziffle get the white stone without getting anything.
Rosa can’t just leave it alone. She was a person who would not back down even if the entire land of Geomwangseong and Hiran was reduced to ashes.
And what Jin is blocking Rosa like that.
It soon becomes a betrayal towards Runcandel.
‘You did a good job… … Kellyac Zipple.’
Objectively, Jin and Runkandel couldn’t offer Hylan a better condition than that.
Runcandel has no way to save Dante, and among Runkandel, only Jin cherishes Dante’s life.
Runkandel is enough if Hiran disappears into history or if it prevents the white stone from falling over to Ziple.
Jin gritted his teeth, and Kelliac was sure of victory with a calm face.
Kelliac’s gaze reached Luyan.
“Now let’s give Hi-Lan a chance to talk with me. How is it? Ruyan. There is no better condition than this in Geomwangseong.”
Ruyan looked up at Kelliac in silence for a while.
“Hairan… … And the knights gathered for Hiran… … .”
Eventually, the moment Ruyan tried to follow his back story.
I refuse, Kelliac Ziple.
Everyone in this land is familiar with it, and it was heartbreakingly longing to be able to fight together… … .
A giant’s voice resounded in the sky quietly, yet muffled and deep.
Everyone turned to the owner of the voice who had just climbed the wall.
“Who dares to save Hi-Lan and my grandson on my behalf? It is only allowed to me.”
Darkness there.
Lon Hylan stood tall.
