Swordmaster’s Youngest Son Chapter 891

Chapter 891

Episode 223. Uncomfortable encounters (2)

* * *

The moment when Orgal went to meet the enemy and met Manoff, the land of fire.

Shinu quietly looked around his area.

At one time, no being could visit this place carelessly. Even if they entered without permission, they would only die from being consumed by the fire that filled the space. Among the immortals, only the gods of the highest level who could stand against him, and among mortals, only Changseong could withstand the fire.

But now, the land of fire had no majesty, and more than half of the area was empty and cold with the fire fading.

It was because of Luke.

The old faith of the Myeongwang clan, who invaded the land of fire not long ago, had pushed Shinu to the limit.

[Like half, a fearful sleeper. If I hadn’t been in a state where the bridle of extinction hadn’t begun, I wouldn’t have been able to guarantee the outcome with him.]

At Shnu’s words, Kadun nodded slowly.

Because I couldn’t speak out. Most of Kadun’s body was made up of marriage, but since he died once in the last battle with Veradin, he has been in a state of no better than a specter.

The power of the Fire Dragon, which symbolized Ziffle’s powerlessness, was almost completely lost, and Hongi was just putting his life on the line.

And between them, there was another person whose life was barely hanging on due to the authority of Hongi and Shinu.

Kelliac Ziple, he too, was just repeating outrage and fainting. The moment you get out of the ‘ring of fire’ made by Shinu, your breath will stop.

[Cheuk.]

Shnu sat down on the floor and trembled.

An hour ago, Luke had once again visited the realm of fire. His second battle with him was fiercer than the previous one, and far more damaging than the previous one.

The reason why Shinu was able to survive and express his dejected voice now was because of Luke’s mercy.

It wasn’t exactly mercy, but it was only kept alive for the needs of the Sun God Church.

[Perhaps Luke will come back in the near future. If that happens, there will be only one choice for me. Threaten them, saying that they will accept extinction the moment they attack more, or fight them.]

There is no exit either way.

Accepting extinction is the end, of course, and even if they fight, in the end, they will be miserably dragged away and used as material for the Demon Stone.

It didn’t seem like the threat would work in the first place. If he wanted to disappear without becoming a material for the Demon Stone, the chance was now. Now, Luke could make the decision about Shenu’s life. Whether it is saved or killed, everything has no choice but to flow according to Luke’s will, not Shinu’s.

-[Among the priests I met this time, there were many members of the old Ming Dynasty. There are also people who are presumed to have been committed in the past. If they appear in the human world, of course, wouldn’t the result be destruction?]

-It must have been a tough fight and you must have been frightened, Shnu. I don’t know why the old Myungwang family is with the Sun God Church, but they won’t destroy the world.

-[I expect you to keep your word. Always be on the lookout for shamans. On the day the demon world opens, this world will no longer be the place you know.]

-I expect you to struggle like now and then disappear at the right time. In other words, even if you disappear, the revival of the Sun God Church will not be affected.

Shnu was remembering the conversation he had with Jin the first time he met him.

If this continues, the result will come out as Jin wanted at that time. To disappear without affecting the revival of the Sun God Church.

For the first time since being born as an immortal, Shinu felt futile. Like that, all the things he had built up for a long time were disappearing like bubbles.

How the hell did it get to this point… … .

Was it a problem to have the power to surpass the sun god?

The source stone, the original source stone.

An item made with the power of all immortals after the death of the sun god.

The reason why the source stone was first produced was to prepare for the time when the gods were attacked by mortals or when the gods attacked each other and the world would be destroyed.

However, the completed source stone was dangerous enough to far exceed the expectations of the immortals, and they eventually discarded it around the time that earthly history was in full swing.

And the first god who raised the need for the source stone was Shinu. He wanted to make the source stone more actively than anyone else, and he was convinced that the source stone would inevitably be discarded after it was completed.

Nevertheless, his insistence on producing the Source Stone was intended to monopolize it by making an imitation of it later, the ‘Devil Stone’.

Is the power of the source stone really as great as the theory, and if it exists, can it overwhelm all the gods, even Solderlet and Heluram, and finally surpass even the sun god? It was necessary to verify that fact.

However, since that time, Shinu’s expectations were wrong, so it was an error that he was the 5th king of the Black Sea.

[Perhaps, I think that the fact that the fragments of the source stone turned into monsters called the 5 kings of the Black Sea was a warning from the sun god, Kingelo. Or maybe even that was a prank by the witch Heluram… … At that time, if I had abandoned my greed for the demon stone and focused on eliminating the 5 kings of the Black Sea. Would things have been better than now?]

Still, Kadun has no answer.

Keliac, gasping for air in the ring of fire, was also silent. If there was a young Fire Dragon Pai, he would have answered anything, but Pai was looking for the Fire Dragons sealed by Shinu in the past in Inse. The only thing in Shnu’s party that was intact was Pie.

At least, Pi’s existence was a glimmer of hope.

If Pi finds the ‘Sealed Fire Dragons’, they will have no choice but to help Shenu even if they don’t want to.

The fire dragons that he could not control despite the dragons he had created.

The first fire dragon king ‘Trakalnis’ and his successor, the prodigal son of fire with power exceeding Kadun, their power has never been so desperately needed.

If they were, they would be able to buy as much time as they could against Luke, and furthermore, they might be able to burn the spirit that had engulfed Kelliac.

So in the end, all Shinu can count on now is for Pi to visit the Land of Fire with good news.

In front of Jin, he displayed the power and majesty of God to the fullest, but it was all just a bluff.

The current Shenu lost most of his strength and powers, lost his contractor, lost even his most cherished guardian dragon, and was abandoned by Ziffle. That’s why when Pi found Tikan, he was extremely hungry and was looking like that.

Thinking of Jin, who would have laughed at him while seeing through that fact, made him feel even more miserable inside.

[…] … I guess it’s better to just annihilate, Kadoon. Most of the mortals in the world are well able to overcome this sense of shame and live their lives.]

At those words, Kadun shook his head for the first time. Every time he shook her neck, black blood mixed with blood flowed between the blackened scales.

[You must want revenge. But now I have to admit, I’m defeated. My plan, which is older than human history, was actually wrong from the beginning, and the deformed fruits that bloomed in the process ended up in the hands of others. Right now, we don’t have the power to correct our erroneous plans, nor the power to take back the demon stone.]

Kadun shook his head again.

No voice, but Shnu knew what he was talking about.

[I guess you want to say that it’s okay to join other factions, Kadun. We have no value now. If I find the sealed Fire Dragons, I will give them to you. Who would accept that request if I told them to protect me?]

[Turn off… … !]

Kadun barely made a whimper.

[Imperial family? They are the first to sell us to Beradin in order to complete the Demon Stone. Reaching out to Jin Runkandel will only make my funny side more obvious. Orgal might protect me, but… … We will use Bouvard’s ability to make us no longer who we are. Now that I am weak, that insignificant piece of reincarnation of a god can do such a thing.]

[Yeah, pole.]

[Did you want to talk about the enemy? They will use us as food and try to awaken the commitment. I can’t even just disappear. The Jinma world… … Huh, I don’t want to say anything about Zito. In this state, just know that being attached to Zito is the worst thing of all.]

Since ancient times, Zito has been particularly fond of torturing immortals. Besides, to Jito neither cause nor profit mattered, only pleasure was important. Today’s Shinu was a beautiful toy to Zito.

Shinu shook his head, resting his forehead on Jito’s image that briefly came to mind.

And just as he was thinking about what he had to prepare to accept extinction, he suddenly felt the opening of the other side of the realm of fire.

Could it be that Luke has already returned?

It was only an hour ago that Luke went. Luke wasn’t completely unscathed either, so Chiene was sure he would need at least three days to return to the Firelands.

But after a while, what Shnu saw was a young fire dragon Pie.

And it was a completely unexpected person.

“Uh, sorry, Mr. Shinu. I should have gotten permission from Mr. Shnu in advance… … This man reluctantly pursued me into the land of fire… … .”

Shinu stared at the man standing next to Pi. Even Kadun jumped up and his eyes widened.

[haha… … For a moment, I wonder if there is something wrong with my insight, and that’s why I’m seeing what mortals often say.]

The man did not respond and slowly approached Shnu. Even though he was one step ahead, Shinu was not wary at all, and instead extended his hand to him first.

[Welcome, Joshua Runkandel. I, like you, have fallen. I am Shnu, the god of fire.]
