“Back off!”
Talaris quickly regained her stance.
In place of the inner castle, a huge barrier of ice spread out in all directions, and it was close to all Talaris' power, except for the power used to bound Elona Zipfel’s seal.
However, the energy of chaos tore it casually. The progress of the chaos that hit it and Jin's party could have been slowed down a little, but that was all.
“Kahak!”
Talaris vomited blood again with eyes wide open. Her eyes twitched, and her grip on the sword trembled.
It wasn't that she was trembling with fear, but it wasn't that she wasn't afraid.
The tidal wave of chaos pouring from white stone was so vast that even she could not fathom it.
-It may be hard to believe, but if you can smelt and use that white stone, it has the power to support all the magic equipment of the empire and make the empire many times stronger in an instant.
The testimony of the traitor Tion Hairan.
-Now, it has already been proven that large-scale reinforcements are coming. The white stone is an indispensable thing for them. But we still don't know what it is.
Rosa's evaluation.
- The previous master of hidden palace left a record saying that Hairan had one thing that could be a threat to the world. Our hidden palace presumes that the item Hairan has is the witch Helluram’s object.
-…… It is a seal that can withstand even the absolute power of myriad ice. Do you know what this fact means? It means that there is a chaos that even I cannot handle.
Talaris' guess.
The stories were all wrong or lacking. What was sleeping in the white stone is an existence far beyond their expectations.
King of the Black Sea, Glyek.
The Fifth Ruler of Chaos.
The only one who knew its identity was Kinzelo. Even Kelliark did not expect that what was sealed in the white stone was Glyek.
Myriad ice gave off a dazzling radiance. It’s energy, which would normally light up the entire area, was as feeble as a candle in the face of Glyek’s chaos.
The Myriad ice sword technique unleashed. If she hesitated even for a moment, she could never be safe, not only herself, but also Jin's party.
3rd technique Avalanche, 4th technique Frostbite, 10th technique glacier Split. A ghostly white sword, imbued with the essence of Talaris, stretched out into the gathering chaos.
Chaos was taking all the myriad ice’s attack as if it were funny.
‘The White Stone is the king of the Black Sea… !’
Chi-i-!
The myriad ice melted even more assimilated into Talaris, releasing a harsh resonant sound like a roar.
The rushing chaos showed signs of slowing down for the first time at that time.
Myriad ice Sword Ultimate technique
White(白)
[T/L:- 오의 = 奧(deep/profound)義(truth/meaning) = Ultimate technique- The deepest understanding = something that you can get only when you have perfectly mastered the martial art.]
As Talaris slammed myriad ice into the ground, mountain-like frost pattern spread everywhere.
The absurdly sharp and hard glacial ice engulfed the space, and the speed was close to light.
Talaris shivered and dark blood flowed ceaselessly from her mouth and nose. Along with Elona's seal, she had been protecting the rampage of white stones alone, so even Talaris could not help but feel overwhelmed.
Huck, Huck, and Talaris breathed heavily, amplifying the energy of ultimate technique White.
It seemed to be a struggle with chaos. She was desperately blocking the chaos that was trying to enter inside White by crushing the frost patterns.
“Damn it…… Why is it here and not in the Black Sea?”
Saying that, Talaris' face turned white. Her hair was already scattered, and sweat poured all over her body, and the sword that unleashed the ultimate technique White swayed unsteadily as if at any moment it would be pulled from floor.
Talaris Endorma, the master of the Hidden Palace and the strong human recognized even by Chiron, ran into difficulties as soon as Chaos awoke.
“Madame Talaris!”
“Jin, listen carefully. That is the king of the black sea. Maybe even if everyone on the battlefield joins forces...… Damn, are the guys outside yet!”
There was only a small part of the space where Talaris was preventing chaos.
Chaos was already spreading throughout the battlefield beyond the frost, although it had not yet broken the ultimate technique White.
Talaris was just buying time.
To gave Ron and Kelliark outside, Runcandel and Zipfel time to push the chaos a bit. If the ultimate technique was broken inside, it was the end.
“And he, heuk, wants you……!”
The resentment the King of the Black Sea had towards the shadow.
Talaris confronted chaos, and she felt the hatred vividly. She had such a hard time fending off the chaos, and the hatred that was directed at Jin, not herself.
It was the same with Jin.
Intuitively, as soon as Chaos awoke, he realized that it was targeting him. A hatred so thick that it seemed to have almost a shape, weighed down Jin's whole body.
A feeling of oppression that seemed to petrify his body, as if his father was showing murderous intent by focusing on himself.
If it wasn't for Talaris, Jin wouldn't have been safe this time.
He alone was not able to do anything about it, his comrades were tired, and the dragons who had to protect him were not the same as before or their strength was exhausted.
Moreover, the enemy was so huge and strong that it was incomparable to anything Jin and his comrades had ever faced, and the time Talaris could not hold out was not long.
After ultimate technique White ended, Talaris needed a gap to gather her energy and recover at least some of the power that used to seal Elona Zipfel in order to fight properly again.
If the emperor hadn't made a deal with Zipfel, if Zipfel hadn't revealed such excessive greed, if the world hadn't cornered Hairan and sword emperor castle....
That horrible being would never have woken up in the human world.
Drop, drop.
The blood from Talaris' face left a red spot on the frozen white ground.
And another problem is emerging within the realm of white that Talaris formed.
[Kaaaaak-! Aaaaaa!]
Suddenly Amela rolled her eyes and was having seizures.
It was because the chaos within her was reacting to Glyek’s energy and running out of control.
If Yona hadn't once trampled the chaos, Amela would have gone mad and attacked her allies within seconds.
[Me, me, how, aaaaaaa!]
Even Lata and Faye were also sitting down and groaning. Even the weak scent of chaos inherited from Smarion was responding to Glyek’s energy.
“My lord, if I ever attack my comrades, do not hesitate to cut me down. Even right now...… my reason...… huek!”
Swoosh!
Lata showed self-denial by stabbing himself in thigh and Faye’s shoulder, barely catching his spirit, but he couldn't continue the fight any longer.
“Ghost mercenary leader!”
“Lata, Faye!”
The area of the White was broken. Jin had to judge what he was capable of.
'At this rate, Madame Talaris and all of my comrades are in danger. I have to come up with a way somehow... !’
The shadow sword special technique,Dark light call, could not be used yet.
'Instead, there are Sir Stam and the Black Knights behind.'
Stam and the Black Knights, just outside the broken castle, were now responding to chaos, not the spectres. There was no time to aim swords and wands at each other.
‘Sir Stam was ordered by the clan to save me. Besides, due to the location, Sir Stam is also assisted by Madame Talaris.'
As expected, Stam was now struggling to enter the white area. It was because, he judged, none of his comrades would be able to defend Jin at the moment the ultimate technique white is pierced.
“Madame Talaris, is it possible to reap some of the cold energy that spread to the rear?”
Talaris understood immediately. Before Glyek woke up, she too had sensed the presence of Stam and the Black Knights. She just couldn't think because she was frantically trying to keep the chaos at bay.
“Stam and the Black Knights, but Jin. To some extent it is a gamble. Chaos will enter as soon as the White’s area in the rear disappear.”
Before answering, Jin.
He eagerly aspired and chanted a summoning spell. To summon his phoenix, which is dedicated to recovery after infusing some of his body's power into Bradamante last year.
It wasn't just a random act of luck.
‘As soon as the chaos awakens, the blue flames dwelling in Bradamante reacts intensely. Just like how Tess was forcibly manifested using my mana in the old Otterium.'
Jin's earnest wish was answered within seconds. In the first place, Tess had been preparing for the manifestation right after Glyek was released from the white stone.
He hadn't fully recovered his strength yet, but now wasn't the time to argue about that.
Gaaaaagh-!
Tess came out of the summoning circle, revealing the dignity of the owner of the fire dimension.
Besides, unlike in the old Otterium, he didn't use Jin's power as collateral to draw on his own abilities. He used the authority of owner of the flame world to purify some of the chaos that scattered all over place and use it as a medium.
You cannot use chaos as a medium indefinitely. Even for Tess, being exposed to chaos in this way was obviously dangerous, but it judged that it was better than risking the life of the contractor.
“Tess!”
“Tess!?”
“Oh, how glad I am to see you!”
Jin, Misha, and Murakan shouted at the same time, and when Tess appeared, the chaos that once again weighed down ice showed signs of retreating.
At the same time, Talaris broke some of the frost pattern in the back, and Stam and the Black Knights entered.
Octavia and the wraiths were nowhere to be seen. They were retreating towards the main unit to escape the chaos.
“12th flagbearer!”
“Fortunately!”
Boom-!
Then, the frost pattern in the front exploded and broke, and the chaos that had faltered poured into the interior.
Stam and Black knights stepped forward without hesitation and swung their swords on Talaris' behalf, though they did not act to save her or her other allies. It's just that they can't get out of it.
In any case, it gave Talaris a moment to catch her breath, and Jin and his allies could hear the voices of the two people shouting and giving orders from outside.
“All Knights of Runcandel, protect the 12th flagbearer, by all means!”
"Secure Jin Runcandel, he must not be consumed by chaos!"
Rosa Runcandel and Kelliark Zipfel.
Following the orders of each leader, all members of Runcandel and Zipfel were throwing themselves to save Jin.
“Back off!”
Talaris quickly regained her stance.
In place of the inner castle, a huge barrier of ice spread out in all directions, and it was close to all Talaris' power, except for the power used to bound Elona Zipfel’s seal.
However, the energy of chaos tore it casually. The progress of the chaos that hit it and Jin's party could have been slowed down a little, but that was all.
