Disciple of The Three Kings [EN]: Chapter 479

“Ugh!””Ughhh!”Sounds akin to the cries of beasts echoed from all directions.Kooong! Kwaang!Impact sounds, rhythmic as if keeping time, resonated like the percussion of an orchestra, harmonizing with the cries.Tens, hundreds, thousands.Kwaaaaa!Tens of thousands of demons and devils.They moved their bodies tirelessly for a single purpose.Tens of thousands, no….Kwaaaaang!Hundreds of thousands, millions of demons.No single territory in the current Gehenna commanded such a number of demons and devils.One, two, three.Multiple territories combined.Kwaaaaaang!What could only be achieved by uniting their wills was unfolding before their eyes.”Uuuu-!”Devils with eyes dyed red, moving their bodies without rest.They needed no drinking water, no food.Magic power.If only magic power was supplied, they could be endlessly deployed for labor without sleep or food.Kuuuung!What they were digging and breaking was a long wound.From within the long wound in the void, a subtle light, indescribable with a single color, was seeping out.Kuuuung!Millions of demons and devils struck with their weapons, their very bodies, in unison.Yet, the wound did not grow larger, nor did it even waver.However.Koong!Once.Kuuuung!Twice.Kuuuuuwaaaang!Three times.The more they repeatedly attacked the wound, the more it trembled, albeit very subtly.And so, a day, two days, three days passed.As time flowed.Jjjjjj.The wound was gradually increasing in size.This was.”The crack in the world is opening, little by little.”A side path that had opened in Gehenna in the past.A crack in the world.In the past, doors had opened in Gehenna, like with Eun and Einheart, but the two worlds had joined forces to block Gehenna, and they.Koong!Drove in a giant stake to seal the gap.The number of devils that could move through the gap was limited.The demons of the pit could move freely, but the devils with reason, or.”I don’t know what’s going on….”The true devils with titles could not pass through the gap.It had to be opened.”Recently, a part of the stake was shattered.”A part of the stake was broken.That was why.Kuuuung!The crack in the world was forming, and the moment to finally reopen the gates of Gehenna had arrived.”If this continues, the door will open soon.”That alone would have been insufficient.The emotional rifts and the gains and losses of interest were too deep and complex for the candidates, who had been at odds until now, to unite again simply because they could open the gap.So, there was one more thing.There was an existence that made all of this possible.Thud.The impact sound echoing from the crack in the world was incomparably small.However, its weight was greater than the reverberation created by millions of devils.Three.They, each with different appearances and forms, knelt on one knee, offering their allegiance.They were.-The candidates.Nobles with titles, and the sons and daughters of Berzena.They quietly raised their heads to look at the one to whom they had sworn their loyalty.”May the Demon King lead the vanguard and guide Gehenna.””Guide us.””Guide us.”Their new Demon King.He was quietly casting his gaze towards the crack in the world.* * *”A new Demon King….”Forzia seemed unable to believe it.”There’s no way Mother’s prophecy could be wrong!”The will and prophecy left by Berzena stated that in the promised land, her successor would appear, unite the divided Gehenna, and open a new world.And.”This person here is the true Demon King.”Forzia said that Lee Rowoon was that promised one.However.”Too much time has passed.”Pajira replied in a low voice.”Ten thousand years. It’s not strange for anything to change in that time.”But neither Forzia nor Pajira had changed.”You who were here wouldn’t know, but outside, the interpretation of the prophecy has changed.””…That’s…!””Like other passages, the most important one is about where the ‘promised land’ is.”Forzia bit her lip.”At first, some thought it was this sanctuary, but there were also those who thought it was not. That’s why we left Beze [a sanctuary or safe haven].”And recently.”As the gate to the world opened, some began to think of that place as the promised land.”And there.”There were several clashes. The number of candidates has decreased for a long time, and we had agreed to stop fighting among ourselves. Nevertheless, the new opportunity was enough to forget the agreement.”Discord began.”The prophecy was interpreted differently again. The successor who does not appear even after waiting endlessly is not someone who suddenly appears from somewhere….”Pajira’s voice echoed hollowly.”But rather, someone who is created.””So you fought each other. To create the last one.””Because there can only be one successor.”Pajira answered Lee Rowoon’s words.”So, the new Demon King was decided among yourselves?”Or.Lee Rowoon’s eyes sank.”Did someone really appear?”And.”It’s the latter.”Pajira’s immediate reply.”Like my master before me, he also appeared suddenly. And….”Pajira said he was there.Clench.A faint sense of defeat was felt from Pajira, who was clenching his fist.”He made all the candidates kneel and received their loyalty.”Indeed.If so, it was understandable that they were serving a new Demon King.According to the interpretation of the old prophecy, he had shown the qualifications and power to be considered a Demon King.”Then why did you come here?”That was the question.”He….”The Archduke, Pajira.Among the remaining candidates, he was the one who held this rank.He, who had already accumulated power and abilities in the transcendent realm that could not be compared to other candidates.”He was like a puppet.”His insight would be certain.”I didn’t think the promised successor would be a puppet moving according to someone’s will.”Pajira said he was Berzena’s firstborn.”Although it was a short time, the mother I saw would not have called such a thing a successor.”That was why Pajira had originally intended to come to Beze.If someone claiming to be the Demon King had appeared, the promised successor might also appear.”……..”Lee Rowoon, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed.”Do you have any guesses?”Forzia and Pajira said.”A little.””…!””What is it….””I can’t tell you yet.”It wasn’t certain.Unnecessary words were likely to create discord.More than anything.”However, there are things that are certain.””What is it?””Forzia.”She had protected the sanctuary, Beze, for ten thousand years.”The time to protect it is over.””…!””Beze no longer has any meaning.”The meaning this place had was that it had a piece that could connect to the core of Gehenna.And one more thing.’Coordinates.’In fact, Berzena seemed to have wanted him to appear here.And all of that had been achieved.”Their goal is to break the crack in the world and advance, right?””That’s right.”That was the goal of the heretics that Pajira had told him about.”Then, as long as we’re here, we won’t have to clash.””Could it be….””Are you planning to stay here?”Avoiding the fight.That was also a way.If they left Gehenna, they could seal the gate again and rule Gehenna.However.Clench.That was not befitting the position and name of a Demon King.Pajira seemed to want to say that, but he held back.”No.”Lee Rowoon opened his mouth.”I’m saying we can’t just keep protecting anymore.”He said, taking his body off the wall.”We have to move.”They called him the new Demon King.”They shouldn’t dare impersonate my master’s disciple.”And also.”If what I’m thinking is right….”It would be an existence he had to face.The heart that had been shaken by the death of the Martial King hardened again.The death of the Martial King was not the end.It was.’The beginning.’It was just an event that heralded a new beginning.”Prepare. We’re going to the crack in the world too.”* * *Berzena had planned all of this.And.’I don’t know.’I don’t know what she’s planning.”Do you have any guesses?”Partisan said in a quiet voice.”I knew I was caught up in something huge from the start.”The huge thing he was talking about was meeting Lee Rowoon.”It’s more than I thought.”However, Lee Rowoon was connected not only to Eun and Einheart but also to Gehenna.”What the hell are you guessing?”The identity of the new Demon King.No.”What are you hiding?”It was Partisan who was connected by the mind.Unlike others, Partisan could feel Lee Rowoon’s subtle trembling and worries.”You and I are connected by the mind anyway. You know what that means, right?””If I die, you die too.””Unfortunately, it’s not the other way around.”So.”I can’t betray you. Sometimes….”Partisan, who was called the Ice Dragon, had a look in his eyes that was more warm than cold.”I’m sorry, but I can’t tell you.”Lee Rowoon replied.”What the….””Have you ever had to doubt everything?””What?”A faint smile spread across Lee Rowoon’s lips.”It’s as it sounds. Have you ever had to doubt everything?”Partisan, who had lived for so long.However.”You wouldn’t have.”Doubting everything would have been a difficult experience even for Partisan.So.”You’ll find out.”Lee Rowoon didn’t say anything.And.-We are ready.Forzia’s voice was heard.Kuuuuuuuu!The huge castle gate opened.It was time to move forward, not to protect.
