Disciple of The Three Kings [EN]: Chapter 522

As the world was born, countless things were created alongside it.

Koo-ooo-!

They were born from me, and I watched over them.

The first was their self-destruction.

A world that ended with them devouring each other, killing each other.

The second was.

-How.

Also self-destruction.

But unlike the first instance, they challenged my existence, and unable to overcome it, they self-destructed.

‘It’s broken.’

They were flawed somewhere.

I created something, and as time passed, it broke down.

I found this interesting and tried to create things that wouldn’t break.

-Birth.

A new world opened and was born.

I tried not to repeat the previous failures within it.

They called themselves humans, elves, or even dwarves or demons.

But.

-It’s the same.

Their outcomes were always the same.

No, rather, the more I intervened and changed things, the more those beings became distant from their own will.

At first, I had no thoughts, and then I was lonely.

But now.

-Why don’t you ever change?

It was anger.

Deficiency.

Through the existence of those beings, I realized my own deficiency and weakness.

After that, they no longer self-destructed.

-Disappear, all of you.

When they were deemed failures, I destroyed and annihilated the world with my own power.

The repetition of birth and destruction.

But all of that began to wear me down.

Only then could I look back.

Swoosh.

The scene before my eyes was fragments sparkling in a vast darkness.

The traces of what I had created and destroyed.

Those remnants remained, colliding and merging, creating new worlds.

That was another beginning.

I watched.

But I didn’t just watch like before.

-Are you different?

A world born without me.

What would happen if a being like me were born in that world, a world that doesn’t even recognize my existence?

Would they accept such a being?

And the being that was born.

-Will it break this infinite cycle?

The being I created and brought into existence.

That was.

-King.

The birth of a king.

All memories were coming back.

I was a god, and at the same time, a demon.

I conceived everything and gave them a starting point, and at the same time, I gave them an end.

At first, I was for everything and for the will of everything to be fulfilled, but at some point, I was called by another name.

-Evil.

By the name of the culprit of all destruction and pain.

In that infinite cycle, I, who was alone and eternal, saw a new possibility and gave them the existence of a king.

At first, the king moved according to my will and became an absolute ruler who dominated the world, but.

-It’s the same.

I had to feel it again then.

Those who conquered everything and stood at the pinnacle were ultimately looking for another higher place.

Those who reached the end eventually turned to the being who gave them the qualification of king, the being who was watching over them.

-In the end, you challenge me.

They came towards me.

The result is the same.

It was only specified as one in the entire world, but in the end….

-Even everything I created is pushing me away.

It was the moment I realized that I, as an existence, could not belong anywhere and was alone.

A huge surge of anger.

I had to unleash that anger.

I revealed myself to them, whom I had been subtly aware of, and gave them the same ending again.

-Annihilation.

I bestowed destruction.

The world became nothing again.

But.

Swoosh-!

There were still countless worlds sparkling.

Now, what I had to do became clear.

-You too, become like me.

To bring them terrible loneliness, fear.

At some point.

-Chaos.

I was being called by that name.

And I was slowly opening my eyes now.

* * *

Kukukukuku!

The vibration was getting stronger.

It was impossible to express the phenomenon that was happening in words, but everyone would be feeling the same thing.

-Annihilation.

A single word called annihilation.

That was now opening its eyes and approaching them.

“It’s coming,” the Sword King said repeatedly.

“It’s coming.”

His eyes were fixed on only one thing, Rowoon, without a single tremor.

He was like a person who had lived his entire life for this moment.

And in the following moment.

Swoosh.

Rowoon’s eyes slowly began to open.

Kukukukuku!

The vibration grew stronger.

Chrrrrrr!

The magical chains that bound Rowoon began to tremble.

That was Bondenno’s masterpiece.

A magic circle created to seal any being.

-Take this.

Something the Sword King handed over.

It was a legacy accumulated over an unimaginable amount of time, a magic like a law created by a genius that could not even be compared to himself.

-It’s the Demon King’s item. Even she couldn’t reproduce it. Can you do it?

The name of the Demon King.

And when he heard that she was Rowoon’s teacher.

-I will try.

Bondenno replied.

And in the given time, with the help of the Sword King, he completed the magic circle in accelerated time.

A magic circle that was superior to anything else in terms of sealing.

Chrrrrrrrr!

It was trembling with a roar.

Thud.

It was a moment.

All the roars and tremors stopped.

Saaa-!

It was a moment.

Silence and stillness descended there.

Swoosh.

Rowoon’s eyes were opening wider.

And when both eyes were fully open.

Kwaaaaaa-!

The energy rising from him became a tidal wave, sweeping everything away.

“Kuh-erk!” Bondenno cried out in pain, and the Sword King blocked him, saying,

“Stay close.”

The imperial city was collapsing, and the surface of the earth was turning over.

The sky and the earth were shaking as if they were trying to stick together, and a huge storm was raging.

But I could see it.

A man standing calmly in the eye of the storm.

“Rowoon…!”

Rowoon.

“You’ve come,” the Sword King said, tightening his grip on his sword.

Swoosh!

The Sword King’s sword moved, twisting the axis of the raging tidal wave.

Paah!

With a huge sound, the storm finally stopped.

Rowoon, who had opened his eyes, slowly began to examine the chains that bound him.

And then he looked at the Sword King and Bondenno.

“Rowoon….”

The name that called him.

“Bondenno.”

“……!”

And Bondenno couldn’t hide his joy at the voice he heard.

That he recognized him, he had hope, but.

“It’s unfortunate,” the Sword King’s voice shattered that hope.

“That is not the friend you knew.”

The Sword King’s voice was filled with futility.

A huge emptiness that he had already felt dozens of times.

It was a voice that felt like a vortex of emotions that he could not even imagine.

“But he clearly called my name.”

“Master.”

Rowoon’s voice followed.

“Look!”

And at that moment.

Kwarururu-!

Thunder struck.

It was the moment when the lightning that came from Rowoon’s body missed the Sword King’s sword and fell next to Bondenno.

It was a lightning that he could not have blocked if it wasn’t for the Sword King, a lightning that would have annihilated him in an instant.

Rowoon, who had unleashed his power even within the absolute sealing magic….

“Did you see it?”

At this moment, he was clearly trying to kill him.

And that too.

“That is not the friend you knew.”

With a face that didn’t even feel any emotion.

It was like a human stepping on and killing a bug.

* * *

Kwaaa!

It was a storm that had been broken once, but it was the calm before the storm.

It was a calm that made it certain that if any trigger was given, everything would be shaken and a storm would rage.

“Master.”

Rowoon clearly recognized Bondenno and the Sword King.

But that was all.

“That which has learned everything is not the friend you knew, nor my disciple, nor my master.”

That is.

“Chaos, and what is called a god.”

Also.

“It is a disaster and destruction.”

The Sword King’s voice was filled with absolute determination.

Chrrrrrr!

In the meantime, Rowoon was moving his arms to break the sealing magic circle that bound him.

Even with a small tremor, the sealing magic circle was shaking violently.

“There is no time.”

The Sword King said.

“Either way, the time we can hold it with the sealing magic circle is only temporary.”

“That can’t be…!”

Surely, the Demon King’s legacy was perfect, and he had completed it.

A sure magic circle that could imprison any transcendent being in an eternal prison.

“Do you still say that after seeing it yourself?”

The Sword King said.

Chrrrrrr!

The magic circle was trembling.

“From the beginning, what the Demon King wanted was not to seal that forever. From the beginning….”

It was a fact that he had already learned after several trials and errors that it was impossible.

“It was created to hold it for a moment. Just that moment.”

The Sword King slowly began to move.

Chrrrrrrrr!

As Rowoon threw out his arm, the chains trembled.

Jjaeeeng!

And a part of it broke, releasing enormous energy.

It wouldn’t last long.

‘At best, a few minutes.’

And.

“We will face the same ending again.”

The destruction of the world would come.

At this moment, the option of trying desperately to kill Rowoon, who had awakened as Chaos, was meaningless.

Such things had already been tried and failed several times.

What he had to do now, what he wanted was.

Chaeeng!

“Let’s talk.”

It was a conversation.

The Sword King released Espencia [his sword].

Espencia, which had made a clear sound as it hit the floor, became silent as if accepting its master’s will.

Thud!

Something that had flown in at some point cut off part of the Sword King’s arm, and blood flowed out.

Even an absolute, transcendent body was nothing more than paper in front of that power.

An absolute power that made everything meaningless.

What the Sword King, the Demon King, and the Martial King chose was.

“Let’s… talk.”

It was a conversation.

“Will you make the same choice this time?”

The Sword King said, sobbing.

“This time too….”

The Sword King said to Bondenno.

That it was not your friend, not his disciple, not his master.

But that was exactly….

“Will you push him into loneliness, into pain?”

His disciple, his master.

And family.

“Master.”

Rowoon opened his mouth.
