Disciple of The Three Kings [EN]: Chapter 482

Finally.

“That is….”

They had reached their destination.

His companions couldn’t hide their surprise.

Pajira was silent, while Forzia was in shock.

Lee Rowoon.

“…….”

He was taking in the sight of what he had already seen once before.

-The Gap in the World.

A massive gap that was both an entrance to the outside world and a potential cause of Gehenna’s destruction….

Kuuuuu-!

It was emitting light in the distance.

It was a sight that truly deserved to be called a gap in the world.

A long, immeasurably large crack was emitting a yellow light.

And yet, beyond it, there was something that could not be seen.

Woong.

Lee Rowoon’s eyes were tinged with yellow.

“Can you see something?”

It was a place that even Partisan and Pajira couldn’t see.

“Yeah.”

Lee Rowoon could see it clearly.

The scene he had witnessed just before arriving in Gehenna.

The one that had opened in Shaolin.

-The Gate of Hell.

A world where worlds were mixed, and a giant stake pierced through them.

Also, that stake was already partially broken.

Kwaang!

It was shaking slightly with the resounding impact.

“It’s not far off.”

The stake might have seemed sturdy.

No, it was a stake that emitted such powerful energy that it could remain sturdy forever.

However, just as a gap had formed in the world of Gehenna, cracks had also appeared in the stake.

‘Explosion.’

That was a trace left by him, from releasing the players.

‘Chung Inwoo.’

A crack created by that guy sacrificing himself.

And the impact that was continuously being applied to that place.

Kwaang-!

The crack.

“Soon, the gap in the world will open.”

The stake would break again, and the crack would become even larger.

And….

“Unprecedented gates will be created on Earth.”

They could be classified as dungeons.

Because they would be doors connected to the world of Gehenna.

However.

‘It’s no different from a gate.’

Those who appeared from there would move to slaughter everything on Earth, no different from monsters.

“…….”

He had been contemplating.

After the death of his master, the Martial King, whether he should find another master or do something himself.

He had seriously pondered and agonized over it.

However, what gave Lee Rowoon certainty and moved him to action was not the desire to save Gehenna, nor the thought of carrying on the will of another master.

-Martial King.

His master, who had now disappeared and could never be seen again.

The only legacy that master had left behind….

‘It’s on Earth.’

The Blood Cult, the Heavenly Demon Cult, and Eun.

Would they, who had finally settled down and were supposed to harmonize in the new world, be destroyed again by the enemy called Gehenna?

Would everything the Martial King had left behind vanish?

“We need to hurry.”

Partisan’s voice.

However.

“There’s no need to.”

Lee Rowoon shook his head and said.

Pajira seemed to have already sensed it, and Forzia and Partisan also seemed to have noticed.

The loud roar that had been echoing through the world.

“…….”

The noise that had been reverberating to open the gap in the world had stopped.

“They’re coming.”

Lee Rowoon’s voice.

And with that.

Faaa-!

Another crack was created before their eyes.

* * *

Teleportation, a technique that could only be used by those who had reached the pinnacle of magic.

That magic, which could transport oneself to a desired location by transcending time and space, was a power close to an innate ability, not just skill.

It required as much mastery of magic as a dragon, and those who were not, no matter how high their level of magic, would need months of rest just to construct and activate the spell.

Such magic.

Faaa-!

Was unfolding before Lee Rowoon and the others, creating a crack.

Cheok-!

Pajira and his forces were the first to take a battle stance.

“Not yet.”

Lee Rowoon said.

Before the enemies appeared, destroying the gate created by teleportation was also an option, but.

“That’s dangerous.”

That thing in front of them was dangerous; if they touched it carelessly, the entire area could be sucked into a vortex of space and time and disappear.

Whether they liked it or not, they had to wait for the enemies to appear from the gate, but.

Kuuuuuu-!

That didn’t mean they wouldn’t prepare.

Saaaa-!

A cold energy spread out with a roar.

Partisan.

He had unleashed a blizzard, enhanced to the maximum with the power of a dragon, over the area.

The land of Gehenna froze, and icicles began to fall from the sky.

Kwaaang!

Icicles the size of swords.

They fell and emitted even more powerful cold energy, becoming a barrier blocking the area around the teleportation gate.

Woong!

Another resonance sounded.

Forzia.

As if she wouldn’t stand idly by, she plunged her sword into the ground and poured out magic.

Tree trunks that sprouted from the ground pushed their way through the icicles and intertwined.

Magic and demonic energy.

The moment those opposing energies collided.

Kuoong-!

A massive wave, unlike any before, was erected as a barrier.

Only then, as if all preparations were complete, did the teleportation gate begin to fluctuate.

Those who were revealing themselves.

Gooo-!

They were the owners of a massive presence that could be felt as the air trembled.

Without needing any explanation, they knew.

“The Candidates.”

That they were the children of the master, the candidates who had protected and ruled Gehenna for a long time.

Drdrdrdr!

The power of the candidates gathered in this place was making not only the air but even the earth tremble.

“For this many to gather in one place….”

Pajira said in a quiet voice.

“How long has it been?”

After the candidates left Beze, they did not seek each other out unless it was necessary.

And when it was necessary, it was more for hunting each other than for asking for help.

Even in the ten thousand years, the number of times three or more candidates had gathered in one place could be counted on one hand.

Ggeuk-!

A crack formed in the sky.

Not related to the gap in the world or teleportation.

Ggeugeuk-!

A crack created by the collision of the candidates’ demonic energy.

Kkigigigigik-!

The moment a tearing sound echoed.

Kung!

All the candidates finally revealed themselves.

Some of them were humanoid like Pajira and Forzia, while others were in the form of monsters like Incubate.

However, the atmosphere and energy they emitted were closer to Pajira than Incubate.

They were not insane madmen, but beings with a will for something.

“The reason they could avoid devouring each other….”

Those who remained after a long time.

“Was because they wanted to protect.”

Because the candidates wanted to protect each other and the world.

However.

“The places where we stand are different.”

One of the candidates from the other side said.

He had a sharp and cold impression, somewhat resembling Ha Semin.

“Jinjahr.”

Jinjahr.

A powerful figure currently ranked fourth in Gehenna.

Also, a being who was as skilled in magic as Pajira.

“Is that the place the Archduke intended to stand?”

“That’s right.”

They spoke while maintaining the barrier that Partisan and Forzia had created.

When Pajira stepped aside slightly, Lee Rowoon’s figure was clearly visible.

“This is the suitable successor of Gehenna that the Mother spoke of, so you should treat him with respect.”

It was a solemn voice, but.

Pfft.

What came back was a sneer.

Twitch.

At that sight, the face inside Pajira’s helmet twitched.

“Why do you think that person is the Mother’s successor?”

“He appeared in the right place with the right power.”

“Beze, no….”

Jinjahr said.

“Are you talking about the Forzia territory, whose name is now forgotten?”

Jinjahr and the candidates standing next to him snorted.

“We don’t think so. Beze is no longer the promised land. The promised land is….”

The disappearing teleportation gate.

Beyond it, the gap in the world began to be seen more clearly.

“This is it. Don’t you know, Archduke? That Gehenna is heading towards destruction.”

They were the ones who had left to protect.

“Gehenna alone no longer has a future. We must take the power of the new world, that power.”

Jinjahr seemed to think his words would be understood.

Pajira, who was more noble than anyone else and had dedicated everything to the protection of Gehenna.

He would understand their will and intentions….

“Nonsense.”

However, Pajira was resolute.

“You’re dreaming a foolish dream. Why don’t you understand!”

He also shouted.

“Opening the gate of the world is not for the future of Gehenna, but a path to destruction!”

“…….”

“If the gate opens, the balance of Gehenna will be disrupted. Jinjahr. Didn’t you say it?”

Jinjahr, who was well-versed in magic and researched it.

He was the one who.

“You were the one who found it and told me.”

A sage who had predicted the laws of Gehenna and the future of the world.

“But how….”

Pajira was trembling as if he had been betrayed.

Knowing that he was originally a man of few words and no emotional fluctuations, it was clear how much he trusted Jinjahr and how betrayed he felt.

“Because the destruction of Gehenna is inevitable.”

Jinjahr replied.

“Where we are is Gehenna. We will make the new world, not this abandoned land, into Gehenna….”

It was then.

Ggeugeugeuk!

The teleportation gate that was closing began to vibrate greatly.

The candidates who had come out through the gate.

Ggeugeugeugeuk!

Stronger than the momentum that all of them had emitted.

Kwaaang-!

A massive demonic energy that seemed capable of overturning the world began to be felt.

The teleportation gate, which had been shrinking, began to grow in size again.

Guwoong-!

It grew in an instant, so much that it completely obscured the gap in the world that was visible behind it.

From within it.

Saaaa-!

Something began to reveal itself.

-Stop.

A voice that echoed.

-Stop talking.

With an absolute voice that seemed to suppress the mind.

“Yes.”

Jinjahr and the candidates closed their mouths and bowed.

Twitch.

Lee Rowoon’s group frowned at the sight.

That which was finally revealing itself.

What was coming out of the enlarged black teleportation gate was.

“……!”

A tiny human.
