Disciple of The Three Kings [EN]: Chapter 504

Tap.

The scenery shifted with a small step, and the air changed.

Crossing the zones of the massive world called Yggdrasil was more difficult than imagined.

Since one zone was the size of a city at the smallest and a continent at the largest, the Shinma Alliance was somehow maintaining the current war situation.

Protecting a huge landmass was difficult, but attacking that landmass was even more difficult.

Tap.

Lee Rowoon was moving through such a land as if he were transcending space.

With light steps.

Tap.

The steps gradually began to slow down.

And slowly, Lee Rowoon’s lips moved.

“As expected.”

He could feel it.

“There’s no need to worry.”

Their changes, the emotions they were feeling, their situations.

Thud.

With even lighter steps, the scenery whizzed by.

And the next moment.

Swoosh.

It was the moment when Lee Rowoon’s foot, floating in the air, slowly moved towards the ground due to gravity and touched down.

Whoosh-!

All the surrounding scenery changed.

It wasn’t that he had rushed.

But it wasn’t that he hadn’t rushed either.

He moved forward using all the power he could, while conserving his strength without rushing in case of an unforeseen situation….

Boom-!

He had arrived.

Intense cold energy poured out.

Dark storm clouds opposing it caught his eye.

Inside that.

Clang-!

A huge collision caught Lee Rowoon’s eye.

A female knight wearing ice-white armor, and….

-Kuaaaaaa-!

A Black Knight roaring as if he had lost his mind.

Lee Rowoon crossed his arms naturally as he watched the scene.

It wasn’t a fight he needed to interfere in.

This was.

-A debut battle.

The first moment when Porzia, a demon of Gehenna [a fiery realm in some mythologies], took on a form suitable for this land, and the moment she was intoxicated by that power and rampaging.

It was the moment when a stubborn and ill-tempered lizard reached out to someone and acknowledged that moment.

So, he wouldn’t interfere in this moment.

He wanted only their figures to be imprinted on a page that would be deeply etched in their minds.

Clang clang clang-!

The two spears collided.

The ice-white spear and the black spear clashed, making a sound as they began to gnaw at each other.

The intense cold and the corrupted magic collided.

Thud!

An explosion once.

Thump!

Another explosion.

The explosions that erupted were forming a sphere, flashing here and there.

Those watching the fight were just blank and in awe.

-Time.

They were fighting in the realm of transcendence [a state beyond normal human limits].

Choosing their time zones, chasing each other’s time zones.

Clang!

Another explosion was created.

A huge tremor occurred as if a dimension was collapsing.

The shock that had already occurred in the fight between Lee Rowoon and the Rebellion leaders had shaken the dimension of Yggdrasil [a mythical world tree].

And the backlash would be borne entirely by Elk, the god of this land.

Kieeee-!

It was as if he could hear her scream, which others could not hear.

She had truly tried her best.

So.

Swish-!

Lee Rowoon watched the fight, using his power with the intention of taking on this collapse himself.

However, that influenced the fight.

The energy he emitted to withstand the collapse of the dimension.

-………!

That momentarily made the Black Knight’s body pause.

Shhh-!

Porzia, who was born for battle even if she lacked experience, did not miss the gap.

The moment the ice-white spear pierced a point of the black spear.

Crack-!

It was only natural that the Black Knight was shattered along with it.

Porzia standing beyond the Black Knight.

When she turned around.

Clang-!

The Black Knight’s body was completely frozen.

Absolute zero.

Absolute zero that could freeze anything, even those who had reached the realm of transcendence.

Swoosh.

The moment Porzia lowered the ice-white spear.

Clang-!

The frozen body of the Black Knight shattered into pieces.

That was the end.

No matter how much one had stepped into the realm of transcendence, there was nothing one could do if all of one’s body was shattered like that.

Rather, if he had slowed down time at the last moment.

-The pain of the slowed time.

No.

“He will suffer eternal pain.”

He would wander in the uncontrollable gap of time and suffer eternally within it.

In a way, the worst ending was what the Black Knight, the dragon knight of the Empire, had experienced.

Tap.

Intense cold energy poured out right in front of Lee Rowoon.

“I greet the king.”

-You’re finally here.

Porzia, and Partisan in the form of armor, stood before Lee Rowoon.

“You’ve worked hard. That look isn’t too bad.”

-Shut up.

It was only for a moment that Lee Rowoon smiled faintly at Partisan’s voice.

“Not yet.”

Lee Rowoon said.

“It’s not over.”

Behind them, the fragments of the Black Knight, which had been shattered, were emitting a strong black light.

* * *

Thump!

It was.

Thump!

Like black hearts.

The black light emanating from each fragment was taking on a strange form.

Thump!

It continued to pulsate.

The Black Knight was definitely dead.

It was an undeniable truth that he had been shattered by absolute zero while using transcendent time, and that he would have to endure endless pain.

That was.

“Damn it.”

It wasn’t the Black Knight.

Partisan, who had already shed his ice-white armor and stood next to Lee Rowoon in a human form, said.

“I had a bad feeling about it.”

He seemed to have already sensed something.

Partisan, who was now bound to Lee Rowoon by blood and had become a being different from a dragon, was.

But before that, Partisan was also one of the guardian dragons of the Empire.

Whether he liked it or not, it was the guardian dragons, not humans, who had lived their lives with him.

“It’s that corrupted?”

Such Partisan had noticed this situation long ago and had clearly just turned a blind eye to it.

Thump!

The pulsating black hearts.

The identity of what had appeared in the Black Knight’s death was.

“The dragons….”

Crunch!

“The dragons have become nothing more than parasites!”

Partisan’s rage poured out, becoming dragon fear and sweeping in all directions.

As if responding to it.

Wriggle.

The black hearts began to move towards one point.

Touching that in its current state was meaningless.

Now that the transcendent being was splitting and reforming, if one were to carelessly touch the enormous energy that was being generated, a dimensional collapse that Elk could not handle would occur.

Lee Rowoon also didn’t know if he would have to use great power.

It was wiser to leave it alone for now.

“How could this be… how could this be possible….”

Partisan seemed to be in despair now.

It was as he said.

The identity of those black hearts, the being that had been residing within the Black Knight, was….

“They are the guardian dragons.”

Guardian dragons.

It was known to the world that dragon knights made contracts with guardian dragons and used their power.

In fact, guardian dragons had appeared, and the Shinma Alliance’s situation room had judged that Porzia was in danger.

However, the guardian dragons that had appeared were just illusions.

They were just thought forms created by great power.

The truth was that.

“That is the current guardian dragon.”

Those that had been shattered and broken down.

The dragons that had lost even their forms and their great arrogance.

That was.

“That is the current guardian dragon….”

Guardian dragons.

Beings that parasitized the bodies of Black Knights, dragon knights, and acted as a medium that allowed them to enter the realm of transcendence with infinite power.

Nothing more, nothing less.

However, only the power of the dragon gathered at the death of the dragon knight.

Wriggle.

It was taking shape.

-Krrr….

It was finally revealing its form.

It was the same form as the evil dragon that Lee Rowoon had absorbed in the past.

Their forms, which had once commanded the Empire and Ainhart and were the objects of respect and reverence, were nowhere to be found.

Perhaps.

“All the guardian dragons will be the same.”

Other guardian dragons would be no different.

They were.

“This is absurd! That dragons… that dragons are nothing more than tools!”

And tools that had gone berserk and could not even be controlled.

Woong-!

The evil dragon, no, the demonic dragon, that had revealed its form began to gather a huge breath in its mouth.

It was similar to the energy that had been used in the division and fusion of the transcendent being that the black hearts had emitted earlier.

A breath that was created by carving away at its very existence.

It was completely different from the concept of the existing breath.

-Apocalypse.

The breath of destruction.

At that moment.

Swoosh!

Something appeared in front of Lee Rowoon and spread its wings.

-That is….

A conversation connected by thoughts.

-It’s my food.

Was it remembering its roots?

For some reason, it seemed a little more enraged today, and it spread its wings and grew in size.

Swoosh.

Darkness fell on the bright sky.

An eclipse.

Just as the moon covered the sun, a huge shadow covered everything and brought darkness.

Flap-!

It was.

“Yes, it’s yours.”

The Chaos Dragon Nidhogg.

It, which had been dormant in Lee Rowoon’s arms, finally revealed its form and began to gather energy in its mouth.

There was no need to carve away at its existence.

Nidhogg already knew what to do.

Woo-!

The two breaths were finally nearing completion, making a loud resonance.

Swish-!

The blood barrier that Lee Rowoon had spread out in all directions.

“It’s annoying, but I’ll do that much as your master.”

-Hmph. You should be grateful.

It meant that Lee Rowoon would take on the enormous energy that would be released as the dimension collapsed.

It was clearly an inefficient thing to do, but there was nothing more foolish than considering efficiency in a matter involving emotions.

If one loss could calm down two emotions, it was rather a profitable deal.

The next moment.

Thump.

A small impact sound.

Boom-!

Huge forces began to shoot towards each other.

But Nidhogg didn’t seem satisfied with that.

Swoosh-!

Its huge body disappeared in an instant, briefly showing a flash of light.

But in the darkness that returned.

Crunch!

Nidhogg was biting the demonic dragon’s neck.

And then.

Boom-!

The two breaths that collided exploded as if they would destroy the world.
