“Whoa… … .”

Veradin caught his breath and looked down. He stood in the middle of the protective shield he had formed over all of Drakkar.

Ashes blew like a thick sandstorm around the shield. It was the corpses of the demons burned by Beradin’s magic.

All the wizards of the Zipline family fought for defense, but in fact, he almost single-handedly annihilated the demons who invaded Drakka.

Jiple’s head and top-ranking mages, including Satrin, dealt only with demons who occasionally broke through the shield.

Thanks to this, even though a teleportation rift of that size was opened, none of Draka’s citizens were harmed. There were no injuries or even deaths among the general public.

However, Veradin was not satisfied at all. On the contrary, as if it was difficult to control his anger, the narrowed brow was trembling.

“You worked hard, head of state.”

Satrin climbed over the shield and stood next to Beradin. For a while, she looked at Beradin’s eyes.

“Godfather, are you okay?”

“What happened to Barkle Borough and other areas that were invaded?”

“We are still checking, but there is no area as perfectly defended as Draka. As first reported, the kingdom of Felin was virtually destroyed, and it is estimated that there were about 50,000 ordinary people in addition to about 100 wizards in the Barkle Autonomous District. And the rest… … .”

Satrin continued to report for a while. Each time, Beradin’s expression grew darker and darker.

“Keliac’s firearms are indescribably unpleasant.”

“… … yes?”

“I thought I had completely erased his shadow… … .”

erased the shadows

As the saying goes, Beradin had been thinking that his jiple was becoming much more powerful than Kelliac’s jiple. He said that he definitely had more magic and governance than Kelliak.

However, his confidence was shattered when he read the firearms left behind by the demons who had now escaped the crack and would have become Kelliac’s servants.

‘Kelliac Ziple got stronger. He may have become the first creation wizard since Riol Ziple.’

What if it was Kelliac who opened the shield, not himself?

It was that assumption that disturbed Beradin. No matter how much I thought about it, it seemed that the current Keliac would have blocked Draka as well as the most important neighboring districts without any damage.

Of course, if Elona had been put into the battlefield, Beradin could have produced better results than that.

But without her power, he couldn’t shake the thought that he couldn’t surpass Kelliac yet.

‘Shnu… … To think that disgusting god wouldn’t give up Kelliac until the end. It is clear that they have fused at all.’

Anger welled up in his heart like a ball of fire.

Right now, Belladin was experiencing a heart attack. He regretted not being able to completely end Kelliac’s breath that day at the Tower of Stories.

“Ouch… … !”

Suddenly, Beradin grabbed his head. It was a phenomenon that sometimes occurred when the side effects of mental manipulation were at their peak.

‘Magic backflow… … It’s a precursor to runaway!’

As the panicked Satrin tried to think of Thatcher, he saw a Ziffle’s small craft descending. It was a small ship that hurriedly flew in from the 1st Mage Tower of Zipline, the Tower of Story.

“house owner!”

Elona shouted as she descended into the shield.

Veradin reflexively stretched out his hroti, not recognizing her voice. She had mad eyes.

However, Elona carefully covered his shoulders with one hand, dissipating the magic that had formed on Hroti.

“Huh, huh… … !”

After a while, Beradin, engulfed by Elona’s magical power, regained consciousness with a heavy breath. His whole body was wet with sweat.

“It’s okay, lord. Didn’t I say I would protect the family head?”

“Lady Elona… … An ugly look.”

“no. Probably because of the magic of Kelliac Ziple. Suddenly, I felt terrible magic from Drakkar’s side, so I ran.”

Elona was sitting quietly in the Tower of Stories and correctly read Kelliac’s magical power that spread over Draka far away. Satrin was stunned by that ability and thought about what it meant to climb the spear.

Then, Elona gathered Kelliac’s firearms that had clung to Beradin’s body into the air. It was a fire that was red enough to be heterogeneous.

Veradin was able to exhale lightly only after it had left his body.

“This is an old curse used by those who handle fire.”

“curse… … ?”

“The fire of the curse, the curse that the incarnation of Shinu once tried to teach me. It has the effect of amplifying Simma and turning the target into a beast full of intent to kill.”

Elona clenched her fists and extinguished the cursed fire.

“It’s also a particularly effective curse for Changseong, or those equivalent to it. I haven’t experienced it, but all those who go through that period are exposed to Shimma, so no matter how good their senses are, they can’t distinguish it from the curse.”

Therefore, the cursed fire is the most dangerous curse for those who go through the stage of Shimma.

However, there are many restrictions on its use and there are limits on the number of times.

“… … Then I must have just been cursed. Thank you, Miss Elona.”

“I am just glad that I am not late. However, the family head must rest with me for a few days from now. It is not safe until I find and destroy all remnants of the curse.”

“How many days? No, then I can’t go directly to Seongguk right now, kkeok!”

Hooded! Veradin spat out a handful of black blood.

‘Kelliac, you ate a proper blow to that old monster.’

As if standing on top of Keliac’s huge palm, a maddening feeling of displeasure welled up. By now Kelliac should be smiling somewhere in the realm of Jinma.

“If you go to support the Holy Kingdom alone now, the family head will surely die. Even the old friends of the family head, who are fighting against Paellito in perfect condition, won’t be able to hold on.”

“Whoa. To what extent are you aware of the situation on the battlefield in the Holy Land?”

“Serious. The map is changing in real time, and Paellito’s magic is gradually amplifying. At this rate, it’s so fast that it makes me think that it might soon cover the entire castle.”

“Then, the forces of humanity fighting in the Holy Land… … .”

“The Tower calculated that they must be defeated. However, the tower’s calculations are still unstable, and perhaps that’s why most of the calculations related to the Jinma World have been wrong recently. The map of the castle in Grosh and the invasion of Draka this time, the tower made the wrong calculations.”

Elona met Beradin’s eyes.

His eyes, which had almost fallen into his heart, were not as cold as usual. There was pent-up anger and madness seeping into it.

And in it, it seemed that I could faintly see a heart that was worried and anxious about something.

No, it was clearly visible. Veradin himself didn’t know it, but Elona was able to recognize it. He had a time in the past when he struggled through the world with the same eyes as him. He seemed to see himself in the mirror at the time.

‘Gaju, what are you worried about? My heart, which has been disturbed by my heart, is bringing out something buried inside the family head. Maybe it’s the fear of Kellyac Ziple… … Or, worry about Gene Runcandel and Dante Hylan. The fear of the death of friends… … ?’

It was unknown until exactly what was contained in Veradin’s shaking eyes. However, the only thing that was clear was the fact that he was very afraid of Veradin.

‘Whatever it is, I will one day find what the patriarch has forgotten. Just as the patriarch gave a new meaning to me who was lonely after coming out into the world again, just as he cared for me, a monster.’

The moment she made up her mind, a vague memory flashed through Elona’s mind.

It was as if someone had hugged him, who was like the current Veradin.

“How do you see Elona-sama? Do you agree with the tower’s calculations?”

“Honestly, when Paellito woke up, me and the head of Runcandel… … And two other beings whose identities are not yet clearly known. Except for them, no one thought they could stop the demons.”

“Has that changed your mind?”

“… … I’m sorry, my lord. I do not know.”

“No, don’t say that.”

“Still, to tell you, I feel like something huge is about to wake up in the Holy Land. Just like when the energy of Shiron Runkandel was transmitted from the Black Sea right before the white whale returned to Runcandel.”

Beradin and Satrin’s eyes widened.

“According to what he said, Jin Runkandel, like the previous sword emperor, could climb the spear during the battle… … ?”

“That would be a future that not even Az Mil can know. Creativity is unpredictable, and it is the power that can twist any fate. However, the energy I felt was very dark.”

“It’s dark.”

For a moment, Veradin imagined Jin climbing the window.

It seemed that the moment couldn’t be darker. That was a far cry from what a human named Gene Runcandel had shown.

“If that’s the case, Jito’s body, which is being kept by Seongguk, rather than Jin, could manifest. If that’s the case, then it must be as dark as Lady Elona said.”

Veradin answered in a somewhat weak voice.

“Paelito Belgasium might unlock another power. What is clear is that no matter what is awakening in the Holy Land, Gaju and I cannot see it directly. Whether the Barmal Alliance is annihilated, or whether they defend the kingdom. We can deal with anything only after the fight is over.”

Veradin nodded heavily. Even though Elona said this, she didn’t have to go to the holy kingdom with her cursed body.

In the first place, the best result from Ziple’s point of view was that the best powers of the Bamal Alliance and the Jinma World would be destroyed together in the Holy Land.

The result was not very pleasant for some reason.

‘Did it become sentimental because of the curse? Strangely, I think it would be nice if Jin Runkandel and Dante Hyran didn’t die.’

Veradin quickly erased that thought and grabbed Elona’s hand.

“Let’s go down to the main house, Lady Elona. Because I was not in a hurry, I served Elona-sama for too long on this chaotic battlefield.”
