Disciple of The Three Kings [EN]: Chapter 244

The Three Kings’ Disciple (245)

245

A strange feeling had been there.

The bizarre sense of incongruity he felt as he set foot in Liatris Paris.

Lee Rowoon felt it was because of the Crimson Duke.

But it wasn’t.

At some point, his hair had turned pure white.

What had gone berserk.

“It wasn’t just the Blood Monk.”

He himself had also gone berserk.

The reckless actions he wouldn’t normally take.

The instincts he had been suppressing and holding back had burst out.

And.

-Kuhuhu.

Since when had it been echoing in his head?

Lee Rowoon couldn’t remember.

Only now, with his entire mind fully awakened.

-Kuhuhuhut!

The guy’s laughter was echoing in his head.

“It was a trap.”

Lee Rowoon says, looking at the silver-haired man.

The current Emperor of Einheart.

All of this is a trap.

A meticulously and cleverly laid trap, planned since who knows when.

He couldn’t even grasp what to suspect.

It was overwhelming.

It was a madness that felt like extreme obsession.

-A trap.

To drive him into a corner.

No.

-Kuhuhuhut!

A trap to drive in chaos.

Lee Rowoon’s languid eyes turn sharp.

At this moment, the opponent was an existence that could never be underestimated.

“You….”

Lee Rowoon calls out to the Emperor.

“Do you know about chaos?”

There was a high possibility that the opponent knew about chaos.

His consciousness going white, acting on instinct, strictly speaking, it wasn’t a problem with Lee Rowoon himself.

It was a problem with what Lee Rowoon was harboring.

-Kehehehehet!

A problem with chaos.

The shadows surrounding the perimeter.

The Emperor stands tall, as if boasting his dignity, and speaks.

“Who do you think I am?”

He wanted to move, but couldn’t.

“I am the Emperor of the Great Empire, Einheart.”

The oppressive feeling that was tightening around him.

‘The five guardian dragons.’

The power they emitted was binding Lee Rowoon like a spiderweb.

“There was nothing the Empire could not conquer, and all things knelt before me.”

This man.

The energy the Emperor was emitting was more irritating than anything else.

‘Ultimate Master.’

A realm similar to the Silver’s realm of life and death.

But the Emperor before him was.

‘Beyond that.’

In Silver, they gave this name to a few strong individuals who had existed since ancient times.

‘Transcendent Realm.’

One who has finally transcended.

Also, in Einheart, they called it.

“Chaos, you say.”

Demigod.

That was the realm of a demigod.

Only the power he emitted was grating on Lee Rowoon’s nerves.

Even now, with the Emperor’s Ring completed.

Flinch.

At this moment, Lee Rowoon was being pressured by the Emperor.

That was the side effect of his masters’ teachings.

Originally, if his masters had reached the edge of the end with one ability, Lee Rowoon could not become perfect until he had pieced everything together.

It was not impossible to reach the realm of a demigod with just the Emperor’s Ring, but with the Emperor’s Ring that Lee Rowoon possessed, he could not enter the realm of a demigod.

That gap.

“There’s no way you wouldn’t know.”

Lee Rowoon was being pressured by that gap.

“Chaos is the beginning of the world, the source of all power.”

The Emperor says.

“Even Seran, the god of the continent, is merely a fragment of chaos. Chaos is complete and perfect.”

This guy.

“Also….”

The Emperor narrows his eyes, burning with anger and an unknown emotion.

“The one who took away my father, the founder of the Empire….”

“I knew it.”

He had suspected and guessed.

But at this moment.

-The one who took away my father, the founder of the Empire.

Everything became clear with the Emperor’s words.

The people of Einheart said that the Emperor of the Empire was a new Emperor who ascended after the gate opened.

However.

“You are no different from them.”

An existence that had lived through those eternal, immortal years.

An existence no different from Cream Vladimir.

He thought it was strange.

That the imperial bloodline had never changed, never been severed.

Although the Emperor’s Ring was said to have perfect power, wouldn’t there be even one person who refused to inherit it?

If not, would there be no problems with reproductive function or preserving the bloodline?

From what he heard, the history of Einheart was thousands, tens of thousands of years old.

It didn’t make sense.

‘The Emperor’s Ring is a power that should have disappeared.’

That was why Sword King Master had created the perfect power of domination.

He thought that after he died, an absolute being like himself would not be born.

But the Emperor’s Ring was still intact, and the Empire was still standing.

The reason that was possible was.

“It hasn’t changed.”

“The only thing the Empire has not conquered is chaos.”

The Emperor had continued unchanged.

Since when?

He didn’t know.

But the existence before him was.

“You were the true completed form.”

The monster created by the Empire, the Duke of Carnage.

He could be said to be the completed form of the homunculus [artificially created human] that was his essence.

“That’s why.”

Both of them speak their words.

Finally, the Emperor concludes.

“I will finally conquer chaos.”

Woo-oong!

Magic circles spread in all directions.

[Be bound.]

[Be bound.]

[Be bound….]

The five guardian dragons bound Lee Rowoon through dragon language.

Lee Rowoon slowly floated up.

All of his movements were bound.

He couldn’t even twitch a finger.

At the same time.

“…….”

Even his breathing was bound.

His heart was slowly stopping.

Blood flow was beginning to cease.

-Time freeze.

It was the power of binding that froze his own time itself.

“I will conquer you. I will conquer chaos.”

The flickering eyes approach.

“And thus, I will become the one and only true Emperor.”

Madness.

And what was burning within it was the desire to conquer.

But there was one more thing mixed in.

-Inferiority complex.

A terribly deep inferiority complex was flickering in his eyes.

“I am….”

The Emperor opens his mouth wide and speaks.

“Zeke von Damian.”

His name.

Not the name known to the world, but the true name the Emperor possessed.

“The son of Ziegheart von Damian, and the son of Seran Daisenne.”

Kwaak!

His hand tightened around Lee Rowoon’s neck.

* * *

-I had no intention of becoming a Heavenly Demon or a Blood Demon.

Martial King Master, Shin Yeoul, had said.

-I just wanted to become stronger.

Master had just wanted to become stronger and be the best.

As he did, a force had gathered around him and began to follow him.

As he competed with those he thought were strong, they had sworn their loyalty.

And that was how the Divine Demonic Cult was born.

Shin Yeoul hadn’t wanted it, but he had unified the world.

-I wanted to become a Demon King.

Demon King Master, Beelzebub Master, had wanted to become a Demon King himself.

It was a kind of revenge and the meaning of his existence itself.

He said that life was meaningless if he didn’t become a Demon King, so he had struggled to become a Demon King and became a king who had even stolen the divinity of a god.

-I….

That day was a week before Lee Rowoon headed to chaos.

He had completed all preparations.

It was just a stage of resting and finalizing the final preparations.

Before the battle that would end everything, his masters, who had not had deep conversations for nearly a hundred years, talked about many things.

Even Sword King Master, who was usually quiet, was the same.

-I wanted to protect.

He had tried to protect.

He had tried to embrace everything.

That was why he had to conquer.

Because he could only protect what became his, the Empire was created to embrace everything.

He had become the Emperor.

-We….

But there was a commonality.

-We have no successors.

Because they were only interested in becoming stronger, they didn’t care about anything else.

Because they wanted to become kings, they didn’t create successors to prevent the creation of someone like themselves.

Sword King Master.

-I didn’t want to create more to protect.

He didn’t want to create the most important being to protect in the world, so he didn’t create a successor.

Yes.

That was the truth.

Swoosh.

Lee Rowoon opens his eyes.

[O time that is perpetual….]

[O time that flows wearily….]

The voices of the dragons are heard.

All of that was dragon language.

Originally, dragon language was a power that didn’t require a spell.

A power that was executed as commanded, a truly magical power.

That was why dragons were the strongest and called demigods.

Not omniscient, but close to omniscient.

Not omnipotent, but close to omnipotent.

Such five dragons.

[Stop, and stop again….]

[Confine within the flow….]

They cast a spell with dragon language.

That was.

Kwaaaak!

All of it was to capture Lee Rowoon, or rather, what was inside him.

The hand that was tightening around Lee Rowoon’s neck.

“Today, I will conquer chaos.”

The Emperor was saying that.

This guy.

-We had no successors.

He used Zeke’s name, but he wasn’t Zeke.

Sword King Master had clearly said.

-If I were to have a son, I would name him Zeke.

At least Master didn’t know the Emperor before him.

Also, this guy was human, but not human.

A created human.

A homunculus.

But the Emperor truly thought of Sword King Master as his father.

He could guess what had happened.

But.

“…….”

Everything was meaningless.

Everything was futile.

Lee Rowoon was looking at everything with his languid eyes again.

How had he gone to his world of chaos?

And what had he decided there?

Why had he defeated chaos, and what had he thought when he returned?

Everything was vague.

But there was one thing.

This much was not.

-I….

Lee Rowoon had always said.

Jjeo-eong!

A wave emanates from Lee Rowoon’s body.

“Keuhuk!”

One of the guardian dragons stopped his dragon language and vomited blood.

“……!”

It was only natural that the other guardian dragons were flustered.

Dragon language was a perfect power in itself.

Failure did not exist.

But that was.

Jjeo-eong!

Being broken.

That was no different from the laws being broken.

Time flows.

Humans are born and die.

The unchanging truth of the world, it was no different from that being broken.

Jjeo-eo-eong!

The chains that had been tightening weakened.

“Emperor!”

The guardian dragons call out to the Emperor.

“Keuek…!”

He was already staggering and stepping back.

The world that had been filled with magic circles.

Hwaaaak!

Was being dyed in darkness.

That’s right.

Lee Rowoon had said at some point.

-I….

Lee Rowoon.

“I don’t care what happens to this world.”

“How…!”

Lee Rowoon, who should have been stopped, was on the ground, opening his mouth.

But what was even more shocking was.

“The dragon language didn’t fail!”

The fact that the dragons’ prepared magic had not failed.

Time freeze.

Lee Rowoon’s time should have been completely frozen.

Without their permission and interference, he shouldn’t even be able to breathe, and his heart shouldn’t even be beating.

Numerous experiments and studies.

The results of that had been proven, but.

“I’m just living and trying to repay my debts.”

Lee Rowoon was moving perfectly, speaking perfectly.

“But….”

His languid eyes, his eyelids drooping as if they were about to close.

“It’s also true that I’m a little tired.”

His eyes closed even more.

At some point, Lee Rowoon had completely closed his eyes.

“I was disappointed in humans, in life.”

That was the reason Lee Rowoon had met his masters.

He had seen many things after returning, but.

“Continued disappointment is just tiring.”

His voice and tone had changed to that of the past.

Lee Rowoon before he met his masters.

“You said you wanted to conquer chaos, right?”

A voice that was even somewhat gentle echoed in the space.

“Go ahead. Then.”

It was the moment his neck was bent.

“Kehihit. Kehihihihit!”

A laughter like scratching a chalkboard flowed from Lee Rowoon’s mouth.
