Disciple of The Three Kings [EN]: Chapter 490

The Demon God’s body began to decompose and scatter.

It was a sight too beautiful to simply call death.

The crimson and violet hues, the various colors of the God Annihilation magic, combined and began to dye everything in Gehenna [a hellish realm].

Within that.

Saaaah.

There was Berzena.

She was emitting black light, trying to merge with the Demon God’s body once more, but.

Tadat! Tak!

The merging with the Demon God’s body was not happening again.

Saaaah-!

A cluster of light was rushing towards Rowoon.

The chaos contained within the Demon God was returning according to its master’s will.

Before she knew it, Rowoon was standing in front of Berzena.

Within the shattered and broken body of the Demon God.

“Berzena.”

Rowoon called her name.

Ssaeek, ssaeek.

A breath too frail for the Demon King of Gehenna.

And….

Tat!

Berzena was finally about to fall, having lost the last connection she had with the Demon God.

Tak.

Her waist was caught in Rowoon’s hands.

“Berzena.”

Rowoon called her again.

“….”

She quietly opened her eyes and looked at Rowoon.

“You weren’t swallowed up.”

Berzena finally opened her mouth.

“Yeah.”

Rowoon replied.

“My mind is intact now.”

The chaos emanating from Rowoon began to heal her body.

-Chaos.

It could be said to be a power that could become anything.

For some, it could be felt as the power of destruction, and for others, as the blessing of a holy god.

That was why the power was named chaos.

“And….”

Rowoon tightened his grip on Berzena.

She was frail.

She was the Demon King of Gehenna, the strongest of the Three Kings, and she had fought and won against the largest fragment of chaos.

-Everything was her plan.

She was the one who devised the plan to eliminate the existence of chaos, and she was the one who executed it.

Berzena, who was so great, but.

Paruru.

Now, in Rowoon’s hands, she was as fragile as a woman who could die at any moment.

“I saved you.”

But she was alive.

‘Master Muwang.’

Unlike Muwang, who had to die because he was robbed of his consciousness by chaos, he had succeeded in saving Berzena, who was as important as another master.

“Rowoon.”

Berzena reached out and touched Rowoon’s cheek.

“All the wounds on your body will heal.”

Rowoon said, holding her hand.

-Disciple.

There was a time when he was called a disciple.

But even then, she was a very special being to him.

And at some point, when he had to face chaos.

-You can hug me.

She had become an even closer being.

Dare.

There was that reason, but in the end, she was the one who had become closer than anyone else.

“So now it will be different. The chaos within you too….”

Rowoon said.

“I will recover it all.”

“I guess so.”

Berzena’s hand stroked Rowoon’s cheek.

“But….”

“……!”

Before Berzena could finish her sentence, Rowoon knew what she was going to say.

“Why… ?”

Her whole body was crumbling like dust.

Her crumbling body contained the fragments of chaos she had taken.

“Why!”

This couldn’t be happening.

He had been careful not to shock her while fighting the Demon God.

In the end, it was the Demon God’s body that had been destroyed, not her.

The chaos she possessed too….

“Because you’re not perfect yet….”

Berzena said.

“Chaos is a power that no one can handle. Not even chaos itself.”

“What….”

“Don’t be too sad. This is an already predetermined result, Rowoon.”

Berzena’s lips slowly curled up.

A bitter smile.

“We’re reaching the end.”

“What the hell…!”

Rowoon couldn’t help but shout.

He had gone through another time of hardship to save her.

He had to abandon what he had built up and feel the terrible isolation once again.

Was he okay?

‘No way!’

He had only pretended to be okay because he had to endure it.

No one could be indifferent to the passage of time, to that solitude.

But he had, he had tried so hard.

“Why….”

Rowoon looked at Berzena, biting his lip.

Her collapse was already beyond the point of being stopped.

He tried to use the power of chaos to stop her deterioration, but.

Kkwaak.

Her hand on his cheek stopped it.

Even without that.

‘I can’t stop it.’

The emotions that were bursting out were awakening what he had abandoned and causing the power of chaos to go berserk.

“Rowoon.”

The result that she had said was already predetermined, there was nothing that could reverse it.

“This is the result I wanted.”

“You dying?”

Rowoon’s voice trembled.

“Me having to suffer again?”

That was it.

“Is that what you wanted?”

Now, anger was rising.

But rather, her smile grew even thicker.

“Yeah.”

“What the hell are you talking about!”

“When you met us, you were burnt ashes. There was nothing left but despair.”

Rowoon closed his mouth at Berzena’s words.

“But look. Now you’re sad for me, you’re crying for me.”

Took.

“You were also sad for Muwang, and you mourned him. That’s….”

That….

“That’s the result I wanted.”

“So you wanted me to be in pain.”

“No.”

Berzena shook her head.

“Being able to be sad means you can also be happy.”

Berzena now held Rowoon’s face with both hands.

The two were slowly falling to the ground.

“There’s not much time left.”

“What else is left? The death of Master Geomwang?”

Berzena did not answer that.

“Don’t be too sad.”

“Please!”

“We….”

Her smile slowly faded.

Rowoon already knew that the frail weight he had felt in his hands was gradually disappearing.

“Again….”

A blurry voice.

“Again….”

That was the end.

Saaaah-!

Only the shallow sensation of their lips touching remained, and she turned to dust and disappeared.

And as she scattered, she flowed back into Rowoon’s breath.

Ironically, the emotion felt as the chaos she possessed returned was a sense of fulfillment.

Tat.

Rowoon stepped on the ground of Gehenna.

“Haa.”

A rough breath.

With that, he raised his head.

Tears flowed down his open eyes.

But when Rowoon lowered his head again, there was no trace left.

“Yeah.”

Berzena was right.

“Master Muwang. And….”

Even Berzena, the Demon King, his master, lover, and family.

Now that he had come to a point of no return.

“The end is almost here. Yeah.”

Then he had to go.

“To the end.”

It was that moment.

Kung-!

A huge impact echoed behind Rowoon.

At the same time, a fierce energy poured out, twisting and materializing the demonic energy.

Rowoon slowly turned his head, and there.

Jjeoeok-!

He could see the world’s rift, which had been torn open as much as it could be.

* * *

Now, a certain amount of the power of chaos was moving according to Rowoon’s will.

A power that changes according to will.

With that power.

Saaaah-!

Rowoon healed everyone who had been injured.

Most of the candidates had been swept away and disappeared when Berzena summoned the Demon God.

But Pazira and Porzia, at least.

“…Thank you.”

They had survived.

“…….”

Pazira, who had recovered thanks to Rowoon, kept his words to himself.

The shock to them was Berzena, the Demon God, Rowoon, and.

Finally.

Hwaaaak-!

The world’s rift that had been opened.

The world’s rift that the candidates had been trying so hard to open was wide open.

The power that was pouring out and being sucked in from there.

The death of the Demon God.

All of that.

Urrurururu!

Was disrupting the balance of Gehenna.

‘It ended up the way they wanted.’

It was a word to someone who couldn’t hear it.

To their king, Berzena, who had wanted to take revenge on the entire world of Gehenna.

“Gehenna will collapse.”

Rowoon said as if declaring it.

“It might be a few days if it’s short, or a few years if it’s long, but the result is the same.”

As he said that, Rowoon clenched his fist.

-The result….

It was because Berzena’s voice came to mind.

But for now, Rowoon pushed Berzena’s voice away.

“It’s not something that can be stopped.”

The collapse of a world.

It was not like Eun or Einheart being shattered into pieces, but completely disappearing.

And the aftermath….

‘The world’s rift.’

That rift would affect the entire Earth.

“……!”

Porzia seemed shocked.

Not only had their mother brought destruction to Gehenna, but now the world was collapsing right now.

“There is a way to survive.”

At Rowoon’s words, Porzia looked at Rowoon.

Now, Rowoon was not just talking about saving her alone, but also about a way to save the residents of Gehenna, even the demons.

“But not all of them can be saved.”

“Then….”

“Whether you select them or do something else, it doesn’t matter. It’s not up to me to decide about them.”

The world’s rift was still widening its jaws.

“Three days. That’s the time I have to close the rift. After that, I will leave Gehenna.”

“That….”

“It’s up to you what you choose.”

Pazira quietly nodded, but Porzia didn’t seem to find it easy.

She had vowed to become Rowoon’s knight, but actually keeping that promise was not an easy task.

“I….”

It was then.

“I will stay.”

It was Pazira.

“I cannot abandon the world and run away.”

“The end is certain death. There is no way to do anything about this place.”

Rowoon said.

“What I said was not just about surviving.”

And.

“I’m talking about your new home.”
