Disciple of The Three Kings [EN]: Chapter 487

“If this continues….”

The approaching Chaos spoke in a weary voice.

“If this continues, there’s no answer.”

It was as if he were his own mirror.

Judging the situation, thinking, everything.

“Do you think anything will change if you recover?”

Chaos smiled.

“In the end, we’ll just reach the same conclusion.”

“Then what do you want me to do?”

Rowoon said irritably, focusing on his recovery.

“You were the one who told me to fight.”

“Yes. It was me.”

It was then.

Kuuuuung-!

Verzenna’s Annihilation magic began to sweep through the candidates.

“So, let’s fight properly.”

“What?”

“There’s a way.”

Chaos looked at Verzenna.

They were the ones who guarded Verzenna’s vacant seat in the name of candidates.

They were no different from the rulers of Gehenna [a hellish realm].

Pasusut-!

They were scattering into dust.

“It’s an honor to fight together.”

Jinzarr, who was directly hit by the Annihilation magic.

His body was slowly disappearing.

Standing behind him was Pajir.

“If… there were no successors….”

Jinzarr’s death seemed already decided.

“I would have made you my king….”

Jinzarr couldn’t finish his words.

His body turned to dust and disappeared.

And that was.

Hwaaaak-!

It soared into the sky and was sucked somewhere.

“…….”

Thud!

Pajir knelt down, supporting himself with his large weapon.

Injured by the Annihilation magic.

If it hadn’t been for Jinzarr, it would have been him who disappeared.

And he was.

“Mother.”

Gooooooo-!

He began to emit a huge aura.

“Today, I will surpass Mother.”

Pajir, who was born from Verzenna and received her power.

That Pajir was.

Tookang-!

He was now trying to take another step forward.

The armor was breaking and falling off.

The more his bare skin was revealed.

Gooooooo-!

His momentum only grew stronger.

The second in the Gehenna hierarchy.

And in Verzenna’s vacant seat, the first in the Gehenna hierarchy was….

“Lajir.”

Lajir.

Pajir’s twin.

And those two beings were surprisingly maintaining one body and one mind.

“Yes, you were there.”

Verzenna said, looking at Lajir, who was overflowing with red energy.

“You, who were born from his body.”

Verzenna created the candidates through her magic essence.

But among them, there were special beings.

The first and second.

Lajir and Pajir, the twins….

“You, who were born from the Demon God.”

A being born with the Demon God’s body and Verzenna’s magic essence.

That’s why.

-Kuaaaaaaaak-!

The first, Lajir, possessed the Demon God’s spirit and rampage, while the second, Pajir, possessed Verzenna’s cold rationality.

And now, the moment the first, Lajir, awakened.

Kaang-!

Finally, Verzenna began to be pushed back, even if only slightly.

However.

Uuung-!

The Annihilation magic activated again.

-Hurry….

Lajir’s clumsy voice echoed through the air.

-Hurry-!

Time.

Even he, who possessed the Demon God’s power, was merely buying time.

He had already fallen once to the Annihilation magic, and no matter how much resistance he had gained with Verzenna’s magic essence.

Kwaaang-!

It was a clear fact that he would eventually fall to the Annihilation magic.

“We bought more time.”

Chaos said.

Rowoon’s injuries had already recovered to some extent.

“If we fight like this, the result won’t change.”

Kwaaaa-!

Nidhogg and Partisan became dragons and were protecting Lajir.

Forzia was blocking all the aftereffects.

“So, choose.”

Chaos’s voice.

“Choose what, exactly?”

“Let’s join hands.”

“……!”

Chaos said.

“I’ll give up. I’ll belong to you. I’m saying I acknowledge you as my master.”

“What?”

“So, accept me.”

Swoosh.

A hand reached out.

That hand.

Grabbed Rowoon’s forearm.

Two, they were beings born from one.

And….

“I can’t control you anyway. In the end, I’m just a fragment.”

His sincerity was felt.

“I’m just a part of you born from the Yangsim Gong [a technique or method]. All of this….”

Crunch.

He said, gritting his teeth.

“From the beginning, these were things you could control.”

He never intended to steal his body or power from the start.

He was just trying to make him realize something, creating this situation.

From him, no more hostility or murderous intent was felt.

‘How.’

How could he believe him?

He didn’t say those words.

Because they were born from one.

Because he felt his sincerity.

“Now, we have to defeat her.”

Rowoon.

Thump!

Just like he did, he grabbed his forearm.

And slowly closed his eyes.

-Yes.

His voice was now heard in his mind.

-Accept me. We’ll become one whole.

And in the moment that followed.

Click.

Time and space stopped.

* * *

It was like falling into a deep sleep.

Chaos’s fragment, according to his words, even if they became one, he wouldn’t lose control to Chaos.

-You….

Yes.

-You will be able to control the power of Chaos.

It meant that a part of the complete power of Chaos would become his own.

In a short moment, the risk of believing the words of a fragment was too great.

But in the end, Rowoon accepted him.

Kukukuku.

Sounds that weren’t heard before were now audible.

Unlike just before when all senses were blocked, his senses were slowly awakening.

Thump.

The sound of someone’s heartbeat.

Saaa-!

The sound of blood flowing through his veins was heard.

And when he realized that it was….

Thump!

Coming from himself.

Hwaaaak-!

Finally, Rowoon regained his sight.

Everything was clearly visible.

“Cough!”

Everything was clearly audible.

Forzia, she was standing in front of him, looking like a rag.

Forzia, who had awakened Lajir, was lying there, having lost half of her upper body.

-Kuaaaaaaa!

Nidhogg was screaming as he fell.

Shweeek.

Partisan was already exhausted, lying on the ground, breathing heavily.

The Death Champions seemed to have been reverse-summoned.

Goooooong.

Above the sky, the magic essence and power of the dead candidates were gathering.

“Finally.”

A voice was heard.

“You’re reaching the end.”

Verzenna.

She was floating in the air, looking down at Rowoon, as if she had nothing to do with this chaotic battlefield.

Even after killing the candidates, defeating Lajir, and fighting Forzia, Partisan, Nidhogg, and the Death Champions.

Gooooo.

Not a single drop of blood was on her clothes.

Absolute being.

Could her appearance as the king of Gehenna be better expressed than this?

And.

Gooooooo-!

A huge black orb was rotating above her.

Looking at it, Rowoon could realize.

What she had been hoping for was….

“It wasn’t the maintenance or revival of Gehenna.”

What she wanted was.

“Destruction.”

The destruction of Gehenna.

The proof was the black orb above the sky.

It was the orb where the giant soldier, also called the Demon God, was born.

All of this was what she had aimed for and hoped for.

“That’s right, Rowoon.”

Verzenna’s voice was heard, and the black orb was swirling even more.

The power of the dead, except for a few candidates, and the remnants of Gehenna.

“I have no affection for this world.”

She had always said.

-Gehenna is… hell.

A world named hell.

And it was the same for her.

For her, this world was also hell.

What she had hoped for, what she had entrusted to Rowoon was….

“Gehenna.”

The fact that she had entrusted its destruction.

And now, it was time for it to be realized.

Goooooooo-!

The rotating black orb began to pour out black rain like a downpour.

Thud, thud.

The falling raindrops.

Kwaaang-!

Became an even larger and more powerful force, taking shape.

Black raindrops gathered under Verzenna’s feet and took shape.

A huge, gigantic size.

A giant soldier that was probably ten times the size of Partisan.

-Demon God.

She had defeated the Demon God.

And….

“The Demon God….”

Rowoon could realize.

Just as the Martial King’s teacher was Chaos.

“Was Chaos.”

That the first ruler of Gehenna was also Chaos.

And she had built up her strength under that Chaos, to fight against Chaos.

She hadn’t defeated Chaos.

She had only sealed a fragment of Chaos.

And….

‘Key.’

That the key was another Chaos.

That it was a fragment of Chaos that had taken root in Verzenna.

“Rowoon.”

Verzenna, sitting on the giant soldier’s shoulder, said.

“I’m truly sorry to you.”

Rowoon looked up at her.

“But this was the best I could do. It wasn’t supposed to be all on you.”

“…….”

“But in the end, the conclusion is set. From the day we first met you.”

Her body began to melt, becoming one with the giant soldier.

-Before that, from when we met Chaos.

“Verzenna.”

-So.

The giant soldier.

Verzenna’s voice disappeared.

And what was there was….

-Don’t pity us, don’t forgive us.

The first ruler of Gehenna.

The primordial Demon God.

Goooooong-!

The moving hand of the Demon God sucked in the magic of Gehenna, changing the flow of the air.

Wheeeeing-!

A wind no different from a typhoon was stirring everywhere, slowly falling down.

It should have been slow due to its huge size, but in the time of a transcendent.

Kuuuuuung-!

The Demon God’s fist was trying to crush everything too quickly.

Finally.

Thud.

It was the moment when the Demon God’s fist slammed down where Rowoon was.

Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!

The ground all around was overturned, the air was torn, and the sky was collapsing.

A huge mass of power.

“Hup!”

All the survivors had to struggle to survive even in the aftermath.

Not even a direct hit, but the aftermath.

Chwaaaak-!

Skin was torn, bones were shattered, and existence was being erased.

That was the power of the primordial Demon God.

Kwaaaa-!

The power of Chaos that Verzenna had gained.

And.

“Yes. This time….”

Rowoon’s voice flowed out from under the Demon God’s fist.

“This time, I’ll try to win.”

A bright white light was spreading out from under the Demon God’s fist.
