Disciple of The Three Kings [EN]: Chapter 245

“Kehihi. Kehihihit!” A bizarre laughter. Everyone who heard that laughter… Saaa. Froze coldly. “Kehit.” A laughter that now ended abruptly. And Lee Rowoon’s neck, which had been bent, was back to normal. Lee Rowoon’s eyes, which had been flickering red like rubies or flames, were already dyed pitch black. A darkness that seemed to suck you into the abyss just by looking at it. “……!” The Emperor, who was watching it. “Finally….” His pupils were dilated at the enormous power emanating from Lee Rowoon. The power that naturally emanated from Lee Rowoon’s body was distorting the world, making everything appear to ripple. A thick black mist repeatedly emerged from and seeped into Lee Rowoon like an aura, making it look like a black shadow cloak. Puffed-up hair. His appearance was, yes, like a demon king. “Finally, you’re showing yourself.” The Emperor said with a full smile. How long had he been waiting for this moment? The source of the grudge that had taken away his father, whom he had never seen. The high mountain that Siegfried, who had conquered the world, had never conquered. That was…. “Keok!” The Emperor’s neck was already in Lee Rowoon’s hand. The reaction was immediate. Kwa kwa kwa kwang! The dragon language elements poured out by the waiting guardian dragons directly hit Lee Rowoon’s body, causing him to stagger. The released Emperor retreated. ‘It works.’ The sole Emperor of the Empire and the founder, Siegfried’s nickname was the Lonely Knight. He always enjoyed standing alone on the battlefield and faced the most dangerous tasks alone. There were many stories about him. The founder was afraid of assassination and did not trust anyone. The founder did not stand with anyone who was not his equal. Such stories. -Your father was deliberately lonely. To the Emperor, these were unacceptable nonsense. Therefore, the Emperor had captured and killed all those people. If anyone uttered any story about the founder, they were also captured and killed. The Emperor had that kind of power. That was the price. -The founder? No information about the founder remained. He was the great Emperor who built the Empire, yet no one knew about the founder. And the Emperor. He grinned. He was secretly pleased. A father he had never seen. But he was the only one who knew the stories about that father. Now. “It’s time for conquest.” Woo woong! He would fight the opponent that the founder had fought last, and he would conquer what the founder had not conquered. His and his father’s level would be the same. And, he was not alone. Kuaaaaaaa! The guardian dragons that he had conquered and kept under his control for a long time. They would fight with him. The roaring guardian dragons simultaneously rushed towards Lee Rowoon. In the meantime, the founder also took out Damian’s Tear, his sword and the symbol of the Empire, and infused it with mana. The moment Lee Rowoon and the guardian dragons collided. Woong. A small resonance spread throughout the world. The guardian dragons, who had rushed in as if to tear apart the chaos, and the Emperor, who was trying not to miss the gap they had created. They all stopped. “Keuheut.” His consciousness was clear. His body wouldn’t move. No. ‘Time.’ What they were trying to do against chaos. ‘Time freeze.’ Time had stopped. All five guardian dragons at once, even the Emperor at once. No. Woowoong. The time of the world at once. It was only for a moment, but chaos had stopped the world. And. Kwaduk! Something was torn off. Puk! Something pierced through. Seogeok! Something was being cut. Only then. “Heok!” The stopped time had returned. The flow of time, the flow of battle, the senses began to waver. Experiencing frozen time while maintaining consciousness was the same as having all the senses you felt distorted. That was the same for the guardian dragons. Stagger. They were staggering, unable to even maintain their balance. In their eyes, shock and fear that they couldn’t believe were flickering. Just a moment ago, three guardian dragons had died. And once again. Kuaaaaaaaa! Power emanated from chaos, sweeping everything away. Dust. The Parisian architecture, Liatris Paris, which boasted a long history, was instantly reduced to ashes and scattered. Everything except the remaining guardian dragons and the Emperor was reduced to ashes and scattered. “Kehit.” Another laugh. Kwajik! Again, the sound of a back being pierced was heard. But chaos was standing still in its place. What had pierced the guardian dragon’s back was. “……Why….” “I heard a voice.” It was another guardian dragon. “They said that if we killed you, they would preserve the dragons, and that only we could survive in the destruction of the world.” “Stupid….” The flickering black eyes looked here and smiled. “It’s for the sake of the race.” The guardian dragon whose back was pierced. Since his dragon heart was pierced in one blow, there was no hope. Instead of struggling to survive, he looked at chaos. Sseuk. He looked at the Emperor. The Overlord, who had declared his intention to conquer chaos just a moment ago. Parreureu. He was trembling. Only then did the guardian dragon close his eyes. ‘It was wrong from the beginning.’ That, no one could face it. When they left their clan and went to the Emperor. -Stupid. The words that the elders of the clan had said to him. It came to mind at this moment. -The founder tried to protect everyone. Dragons are creatures that do not forget. Dragons are the originators of magic. Dragons stand at the pinnacle of life. That’s why dragons are. -You are all trying to destroy everyone. Arrogant. They did not believe what they had not seen, and they thought that what they could not do was because it was not them. The price. “I will pay it here.” The guardian dragon infused intense mana into his broken dragon heart. Explosion. Everything was already wrong. Then, even for a moment, they had to stop that thing. Woowoowoong! The world was being sucked into the guardian dragon. And the next moment. Kwaaaaaaaaang! The world was engulfed in light. * * * It’s comfortable. They say that the womb filled with the amniotic fluid of the mother is so comfortable, and although Lee Rowoon doesn’t even know his mother’s face, he thought that this place might be that place. It’s warm. Neither the heat that had been boiling inside him every moment nor the cold that seemed to tear his skin was felt. Appropriate temperature. That’s why it’s languid. It’s not the tiring languor that he usually had to endure. Just a languor that he could accept comfortably. This is. ‘What I’ve been longing for so much.’ He wanted to rest. He had never rested properly for a single moment since he was born. If his body was resting, his mind was tormented, and there was no time for his body to rest. What was imposed under the guise of learning was training and torture. When he escaped from that place, he realized the truth of the world. ‘You have to be strong.’ A world where you cannot survive if you are not strong. To become stronger, he repeated hunting as a player and tried and tried again. To protect. To take responsibility. But the end was ultimately a terrible betrayal. He wanted to rest. Since everything was meaningless, he just wanted to rest. So he tried to rest. -I am the Martial King. -I am the Sword King. -I am the Demon King. But he met his masters. It could be said that it was a more difficult and painful time than his entire life. But that time was…. ‘It was comfortable.’ Just like now. He didn’t have to be bound by fear and stress every day. His body was tired, but. -My disciple. His heart was warm. The feeling at that time came to mind. Why he had died, why he had wanted to live. Why he had tried to hope once again. [Let go.] A voice is heard. [Let it go.] What had only been heard as laughter was clearly a human voice. [Let it go.] Now in the voice of the Martial King master. [Let it go.] In the voice of the Sword King master. [It’s okay to let go.] It is heard in the voice of the Demon King master. Lee Rowoon moved his body. The warm water, like amniotic fluid, was pushed away violently, creating space. [Let’s let go.] The last one was his own voice. Was it chaos mimicking his voice? Or was it his inner thoughts? That might not matter much. The malice towards humans, that terrible disappointment. Even so. ‘It’s the last time.’ Once again. Let’s believe. Because that’s what humans are. Because I am also human. “Get….” Lee Rowoon says. “Get lost.” Swaaaaaaaa! The black water that filled the world was pushed back. “It’s my body. It’s my will.” Not yet. “It’s not your turn yet.” Not yet. But one more time. [How foolish.] A voice is heard. [Eventually, you will let go of everything. Well, as long as that time comes, it doesn’t matter. For now….] A black figure that had appeared in front of him. Its mouth split open, revealing white fangs. [I’ll let you go.] And Lee Rowoon woke up. * * * -France…. -Paris is currently…. No matter which channel he turned to, only the same news was repeated. -It has been thirty days since it was engulfed in thick flames and burned down. Finally, when he fixed on one channel, the announcer’s voice continued. -The black flames are still not extinguished, and they are only getting stronger as if they will burn everything. Paris, France. -According to information provided by Einheart, the great Emperor of Einheart and the guardian dragons have sealed off the entire Paris, and they are doing their best to prevent these flames from spreading. That place was trapped in a huge dome. A huge glass barrier. Inside, black flames were burning endlessly. -Paris is like hell right now. It looked like hell. -The disaster in Paris is said to be an unprecedented SS-class gate break phenomenon…. Beep. Eventually, the TV that was spewing out the news went dark with a black screen like the flames of Paris. “When will that thing go out?” A man, wiping his tired face, said. “Seriously… will it ever go out?” To ordinary people, those black flames might just be something frightening and beautiful. But if those who have reached a certain level look at it. ‘Fear.’ It was literally living, breathing fear. What makes such a thing possible? Also, how much power is contained within that? And. ‘Is what made Paris like that alive?’ If it’s alive. ‘Are we safe?’ Numerous questions. And numerous doubts. Nothing is resolved. Einheart and Eun were not providing any information except for essential information. The atmosphere of the world was unusual. Until now, ordinary people and players, depending on the situation, were under the control of the world they had invaded. It had been a long time. People had come to take it for granted. Lack of power. It had become established that they were not safe without them. Therefore, the reality was that they accepted their rule and lived in compliance. However. ‘It’s not safe.’ If they cannot be safe even with their existence, is there any reason to comply? Signs of an explosion were visible. Signs of change were visible. So. “Say something.” The man, Shinwoo Lee, said to Lee Rowoon, who was sleeping as if dead.
