Disciple of The Three Kings [EN]: Chapter 491

The collapse of Gehenna was visible to the naked eye.

Demons and devils scrambled to avoid the rapidly collapsing Gehenna.

Kieeeek-!

Screams of demons swept away by the collapse echoed from everywhere.

Kwaaang-!

The earth crumbled.

Urrur!

In response, the sky disappeared and tore apart.

Hwareureuk-!

The blazing lava was a sight that clearly showed Gehenna was hell.

‘There isn’t much time left.’

The collapse of the world was something Rowoon couldn’t stop.

If he could use all the power of chaos, he might be able to stop it, but to do that, he would have to surrender his consciousness and body to chaos.

He had no reason or intention to do so, so Rowoon simply watched Gehenna collapse.

“Berzena.”

Like his Martial King master, his master, lover, and family, who had disappeared, her homeland was collapsing at this very moment.

Rowoon was taking in this world as if he were capturing Berzena in his eyes.

It was then.

“The preparations are complete.”

Porzia.

She, who had said she would follow him, finally signaled that she was ready.

She had brought all the demons and devils of the Porzia territory….

-If possible, I would like to move part of Beze.

She had asked to take part of Beze, the Porzia territory, formerly Berzena’s land.

And another one.

“I report to the King.”

Pazira.

He appeared before Rowoon with a solemn and serious voice and knelt.

“What is your decision?”

When Rowoon said he would give them new land, Porzia said she would follow him without hesitation.

But Pazira was different.

-Could you give me time to think?

He wanted time to think before answering.

Rowoon had allowed it, and it was finally time to hear his answer.

“I….”

Pazira quietly raised his head and spoke.

“I will stay.”

Porzia seemed surprised at Pazira’s words, but Rowoon was calm.

“Gehenna is collapsing. Are you saying you will stay in a dying world and be killed?”

Porzia said to Pazira.

“That is correct.”

Pazira’s answer came immediately.

The question he had asked Rowoon.

-Can everyone be saved?

Whether all of Gehenna could move to the new land.

And the answer to that was.

-Impossible.

It was impossible.

The new land he was going to give them was already decided.

‘Yggdrasil.’

Another world similar to Earth, a land where he had become the complete master.

Yggdrasil had only used a part of it, and there was plenty of land to accommodate the residents of Gehenna.

However, Gehenna was vast, and the number of demons and devils was countless.

Also, their power would surpass that of ordinary races.

-If all of Gehenna moves, that world will also collapse.

Pazira had been contemplating Rowoon’s words that they had to decide what to give up and what not to give up.

“This is my home.”

Pazira said, looking at Rowoon.

“It is the land where I have existed. It is exciting and joyful to step into a new world with the King, but….”

Inside Pazira’s helmet, it looked like he was smiling.

“Someone has to watch over the end of the world, don’t they?”

His voice sounded firm.

“I will face death here with those who remain. I believe that is the end of me, the son of my mother, and the role of a knight serving the new King.”

Gehenna.

This land was a place with no memories or deep connections to him.

However, it had been passed down to him, and for a short time, he had been the King of Gehenna.

Pazira was saying that he would fulfill his responsibility and duty as a knight and vassal.

“You’re an idiot.”

Rowoon said as he stood up.

“But I have no choice but to acknowledge it.”

It felt like Pazira’s heart was fully reaching him.

That’s why.

“I have never given any position or recognition to those who have followed me.”

Those were things he had only borrowed for a while, and he had never thought of them as his own.

But.

“You are my first knight.”

Pazira stood up.

A physique larger than Rowoon’s.

Within that.

Drdddd.

It felt like a small tremor was felt.

“Glory… It is an honor.”

Just as Rowoon felt Pazira’s heart, it seemed that Pazira also felt Rowoon’s heart.

“The destruction of Gehenna is an unchangeable outcome. But we don’t know if this moment is our last.”

Even though the world was collapsing, a glimmer of hope remained.

“If the day comes when we meet again, it wouldn’t be bad to have you by my side then.”

“I will.”

Pazira put his hand on his chest and bowed his head.

It was true that there was regret.

However.

Kung!

Even at this moment, Gehenna was collapsing.

And one more thing.

“…….”

There was something faintly felt.

“I can’t waste any more time.”

This time here is enough.

Sseuek.

It was time to go back now.

‘Berzena.’

Berzena had said that the end was approaching.

And Rowoon faintly felt what that end was.

‘Martial King Master.’

The death of the Martial King, Shin Yeoul.

‘Berzena.’

The death of the Demon King, Berzena.

And there was only one thing left.

“Sword King.”

Zickhardt von Demian.

His meeting with him and the result would be the end of this long journey.

He had to go back for that too.

“I hope it won’t be painful.”

With those words, Rowoon began to take a step.

Porzia looked at Pazira with regret, but she didn’t dare to persuade him.

Sseuek.

As if they had been waiting, Partisan and Nidhogg followed behind him.

Also, behind them….

Kung!

The demons of the Porzia territory.

They became an army, and the demons who had responded to his call.

Kung-!

They were taking their steps.

Rowoon’s gaze.

Sway.

There, the gap in the world, which had now grown like a wall, was located.

Beyond that, there was only bright light, and it was impossible to see what was there.

Rowoon was moving towards that place.

‘Now….’

Rowoon’s eyes, which had always been languid, were now emitting a little bit of clear light.

‘It’s the end.’

The last step, the step towards it.

And slowly, Rowoon began to squeeze his body into the gap in the world.

Hwaaaak-!

It was the moment when the world changed.

* * *

The world was wrapped in bright light.

One, two, three.

When he took three steps.

Hwaaaak-!

The world was once again engulfed in a cluster of bright light.

That was the end.

“…….”

Rowoon was standing in another world, not Gehenna.

Behind him was a small gap.

For some, that place would be hell.

A hell where they would wander aimlessly, unable to find their way, and wander through the gaps of time and space for an immeasurable amount of time.

However, the three steps Rowoon had taken would be a beacon for them, lighting their way.

“Hoo.”

A small breath was heard.

The first to come out was Partisan and.

-Ugh. I almost died.

It was Nidhogg.

Connected by their minds, they must have seen the light of the beacon more brightly than anyone else and followed it.

Following them.

“This place is….”

Porzia.

She revealed herself.

Behind her, the demons who had followed her were appearing one by one.

The small gap was not enough to welcome them.

Geueuk!

When Rowoon reached out and moved, the gap in the world widened its mouth even more, becoming an exit for the demons.

“How long has it been?”

Partisan’s voice.

It was.

“You would know, right?”

Partisan was talking about what he had felt while crossing the gap in the world.

The time Rowoon and the others had spent in Gehenna was about a month.

The time spent crossing the gap in the world would not have been even a minute.

However, Partisan, who had stepped into the realm of transcendence, could tell.

“It was distorted.”

That the gap in the world was distorted.

And what that meant was.

“The axis of time must have been distorted as well.”

The time spent in Gehenna, the time spent stepping over the gap in the world….

“…….”

It was the story that it would be different from this place.

There was no way Rowoon wouldn’t have felt what Partisan had felt.

Partisan didn’t know how much the axis was distorted in that huge gap in the world, but he would know Rowoon.

“Exactly.”

That’s why he asked.

“How much time has passed?”

The time since he fell from Shaolin to Gehenna until he returned.

He was asking about that time.

And the answer to that was.

“Five years.”

It was immediate.

As Partisan said, Rowoon also felt it.

Five years.

Since he left Earth, here.

“And where is this?”

“Yggdrasil.”

The time it took to get to Yggdrasil was five years.

Even though Partisan was asking, Rowoon was not looking at him, but was casting his gaze.

‘Five years.’

Five years had passed.

And the interior of Yggdrasil, which had been lush with forests, had changed a lot.

There were still lush forests and grasslands, but there were things that looked like Earth’s civilization in places.

“Five years, that time may be just a fleeting moment for us dragons.”

It seemed that Partisan also felt Rowoon’s emotions.

“But it’s a long time for humans.”

It had changed.

“I’ll take care of this place.”

Partisan said.

“So you go first.”

A dragon who was arrogant and selfish.

However, the guy who was connected by his mind seemed to have felt Rowoon’s thoughts and said that.

“Then I’ll leave it to you.”

Rowoon accepted his consideration.

* * *

Kwaaang-!

A loud explosion echoed.

Hwareureuk!

The fire was engulfing everything.

The lush forest was soon covered in flames and began to burn, and the acrid smoke and heat began to fill the sky.

Within that.

Kwaaang!

The explosions continued to be heard.

It wasn’t just explosions.

Kaang!

The sound of weapons clashing.

Pusyuuuuk!

The sound of fabric tearing and fluttering was heard from all directions.

This place was….

Kung!

A battlefield.
