Disciple Of The Three Kings [EN]: Chapter 502

Squeak!

The castle gate opened, and a figure stood there.

It was just like before.

The time when he had returned once again.

“Welcome.”

And just like before, they were welcoming him.

However, the feeling was different.

Thud.

They were looking at Lee Rowoon.

They were looking at their leader, who had disappeared, with faces showing the reverence they had for a hero of the past.

But now, their faces were different.

Thud!

Truly.

“Welcome, our king.”

They were feeling with their whole bodies that their king had returned.

Swish-!

Behind Lee Rowoon.

The injured Hainan warriors were once again shuddering at the sight.

They had already felt countless shudders when Lee Rowoon had stormed onto the battlefield and when he had defeated the leaders of the Rebellion.

A greater joy than any medicine that erased the pain and fatigue of the battlefield.

The memory of that time was a huge stimulus engraved in their central nervous system that they would never forget.

Compared to that, the current shudder was different.

The shudder felt when lying in bed after a hard day.

It was a comfortable shudder, a shudder that came from the belief that they could entrust everything to him.

Thud.

Everyone in this place felt it.

Hase-min’s words were correct.

-The return of the king.

To modern people.

No, it was the same for the people of Eun.

They did not understand what the title of king or master meant, and it was a title that even caused a sense of rebellion.

But now they knew.

“King….”

If a true king existed before their eyes.

If he was also someone that everyone could acknowledge.

“The return of the king….”

It was truly someone who gave a feeling that was so comfortable and admirable.

“Waaaaaaah-!”

The shouts of cheers began to spread widely.

It was the rightful cheer that Lee Rowoon, who had brought an unbelievable victory, deserved.

“You’ve done a great job.”

Hase-min and Lee Rowoon faced each other.

Hase-min spoke to Lee Rowoon.

“You may not know how great of a feat Jincheon… no, the Divine Demon has accomplished.”

Lee Rowoon, who had just returned, would not know.

How much pain the Divine Demon Alliance had suffered from the Rebellion during the three-way battle.

But today, one of the leaders of the Rebellion had died.

Trickle.

The other leader had been captured.

“The Rebellion will collapse on its own.”

Hase-min said.

“It was originally a force that was maintained by the power of its leaders. But now that the axis has collapsed….”

The Rebellion would self-destruct.

Thud.

One of the Hainan warriors threw Phoenix, who he had been dragging, in front of Hase-min.

“No… way…. This can’t… be….”

Phoenix looked completely insane.

However.

“How did you do it?”

Phoenix was definitely exuding a power that seemed to have reached the realm of transcendence.

Yet, the most bothersome power.

-Awakening.

Only the power of Awakening had disappeared.

“What happened to Oh Jin-kyung?”

Hase-min also asked.

“He was severely injured, but it seems he gained some kind of enlightenment. He regained consciousness but said he would stay there because there were still remnants of the Rebellion left.”

Hase-min nodded at Lee Rowoon’s words.

“That’s just like him.”

He thought that he was a man who had consistently done what he had to do, whether Lee Rowoon was there or not, even before that.

Certainly, there were still remnants of the Rebellion left, and they would do anything to make up for their terrible defeat.

“Has your injury improved a lot?”

“It’ll be fine.”

That was enough.

“There’s one more, another leader-level, but with Oh Jin-kyung as he is now, he can handle it alone.”

Lee Rowoon’s words.

It was a law, a truth.

It was not that they were deifying him by worshiping him.

It was because everything he had said had actually come true.

“This guy….”

Lee Rowoon said, looking at Phoenix.

“He just got back what he had wrongly taken.”

“Got back, you say?”

It was not that he had taken it away, nor that he had erased it.

The expression was ‘got back’.

“After the players awakened, it seems like something else got mixed in.”

The unpleasant feeling that Lee Rowoon had felt.

“Chaos.”

“……!”

Hase-min knew.

That there was something that Lee Rowoon had been fighting alone in solitude all this time.

And that it had a name.

“Chaos….”

That it was chaos.

It was Lee Rowoon.

Knowing that Lee Rowoon, who could do anything, was still fighting, that was chaos.

“There might be an influence of chaos on the Einheart side as well.”

“…….”

Hase-min’s expression darkened at Lee Rowoon’s words.

“There is something I need to tell you anyway.”

A great victory.

But it was not always possible for only bright light to exist.

* * *

The Divine Demon Alliance sent Lee Rowoon and the demons of Gehenna as support.

Such forces were a great help to the Divine Demon Alliance, which was relatively at a disadvantage, and in fact, it was no exaggeration to say that Lee Rowoon had single-handedly swept through the Rebellion.

However.

Zzzzt-!

A huge situation board.

It was filled with only dirty noise.

It was a different sight from the other places that were clearly visible.

“Is Elk’s power not reaching it?”

Lee Rowoon’s voice.

“Yes. It’s distorted and interfering with Elk’s power.”

Distortion.

“That means someone made it that way.”

Hase-min nodded at Lee Rowoon’s words.

It was a problem that had occurred on the battlefield where Porzia and more than 30% of the demons from Gehenna had been deployed.

“There have been few such incidents so far.”

Even though Elk’s power was being exerted in a limited way, Elk was still an existence that was no different from the god of Yggdrasil [a mythical tree in Norse cosmology].

If there was an existence that could interfere with and distort Elk’s power….

“A god.”

An existence that also possessed a godhood.

“A Transcendent.”

It also meant that a transcendent being was there.

That meant.

“It also means it’s dangerous.”

“That’s right.”

Porzia was also a person who had entered the realm of transcendence.

However, only a short time had passed since she had completely gained the power of transcendence, and she was not yet able to fully use the power of transcendence.

Moreover.

Zzzzt-!

The special advantages and disadvantages given by the Yggdrasil area.

These were things that would not affect Lee Rowoon at all….

Woong.

Porzia was in a situation where she had to overcome the penalties of that area.

To overcome such a situation….

“We’ll need another Transcendent.”

That a Transcendent was needed.

In a fight of Transcendent, ordinary people could not be of any help.

It was okay to think of it as a fight between ants and humans, or rather, a fight between ants and elephants.

“Still….”

Lee Rowoon had just created a magical wave and saw it with the Emperor’s Ring.

“Yes. Partisan has headed to the battlefield.”

That another Transcendent, Partisan, had headed there.

“But we can’t be relieved. The fact that this has happened also means that the Empire’s top force, the Seven Star Knights, has moved….”

Hase-min said.

“The fact that such a change has occurred in the area we are guarding means….”

That they had also deployed more beings of godhood.

“It’s possible that the Guardian Dragons have stepped in.”

One battlefield had ended in victory, but another battlefield was still in progress.

It was a situation where it might have ended badly.

Swoosh.

Lee Rowoon rose to his feet.

“Surely, you’re not going?”

Lee Rowoon had just returned from the battlefield.

No matter how much they believed in him, Lee Rowoon had fought against two Transcendent.

“…….”

That was why Hase-min was worried, but he could not easily speak.

“I should go, just in case.”

That was the answer he finally heard.

“I’ll prepare. I can’t send the Divine Demon alone.”

A battlefield with some leeway.

Now.

“We’ll go too.”

That they had to assist him and be of at least some help.

“That would be good too.”

Lee Rowoon’s permission was given.

“But.”

Lee Rowoon’s voice.

“There’s no need to rush so much.”

Lee Rowoon’s eyes began to flicker even more redly.

* * *

“……Kuh.”

Porzia let out a huge shock and looked ahead.

Whinny.

The ghostly horses were making gloomy cries.

When they first stormed onto the battlefield, Porzia and the demons of Gehenna had massacred the enemies, but the situation was reversed by a single knight order that suddenly appeared in the enemy’s formation.

-They’re Hell Knights!

The knight order called Hell Knights.

They were the ones.

-They’re the Seven Star Knights!

The Seven Star Knights, known as one of the most powerful forces on the Empire’s side.

The number of knights that make up a single knight order varies from knight order to knight order.

However, it was known that the number of knights from the Seven Star level was up to ten.

The problem was.

-All of them are Transcendent-level.

That all of the Seven Stars were Transcendent-level.

They were the reason why the Empire had been able to devour the territory of Yggdrasil and compete with the Divine Demon Alliance, and they were also the reason why they had weakened the Divine Demon Alliance’s power and drawn out the Rebellion.

Whinny-!

Dozens of Transcendent.

It was definitely strange that it was possible.

But even so, the existence that made it possible.

A huge ghostly horse compared to the others, and a black knight riding on it.

-The Black Knight.

That was the leader of the Seven Star Knights, the Hell Knights, and a Dragon Knight.

That the Dragon Knight was an existence that could use the power of the Guardian Dragon to its fullest extent by making a contract with it, and even make the members of the knight order step into the realm of transcendence by sharing that contract.

“Kuh!”

Porzia’s whole body was covered in wounds.

They were wounds created by her fighting alone against five knights of the Hell Knights, and also against the Black Knight.

-You’re not giving up.

A voice that could be heard beyond language.

Porzia raised her head and looked at him.

“Give up?”

A bloodied face.

But her mouth was clearly curved into a smile.

“Have you ever waited for ten thousand years?”

That it was a smile full of fighting spirit, an unerasable fighting spirit.

“It’s foolish for an existence that hasn’t even waited for that time to utter the word ‘give up’.”
