The last day of January 1803.
Coming out of Laprarosa, Jin knew that the endless ivory-colored desert would greet him as always.
After finishing his first trip to Laprarosa, Jin accidentally met Darkflame, and he remembered the felinoids people he met when he entered this time.
‘What…… is this?’
However, right after opening the door with the shadow sword and stepping out into the human world, the scenery that greeted Jin was not the Mitra desert he had known.
A sticky wind like rotten oil was blowing. The wind was full of vicious poison, and the land and sky beyond it were ominous pitch-black.
In addition, bleak and deep screams can be heard from all over the place.
‘This is the Great Desert of Mitra……?’
Jin don’t know if it’s the Black Sea.
Jin looked down at the ground and realized that this desolate landscape of the Great Desert of Mitra is ‘contaminated with chaos’.
There were sparse bits of sand left over here and there.
Even the sand, which struggled to bring nature to life, had turned murky.
“Ha.”
The Great Desert of Mitra was originally the land of the Plutonian tribe.
The Great Desert of Mitra, in which countless frustrated adventurers who came after myths and legends, was the land that held the golden city, Laprarosa, until the end of the Plutonian tribe.
So, Jin dreamed of the day when his brethren’s city would shine brightly in this desert again someday.
Right before exiting the door. Jin tightened the knot of the huge bag on his back even tighter.
The bag contained the illuminating heart of the dead Plutonian from the past, a chaos purifier, Vahn’s blood, and the blueprint of the golden fleet.
‘Even in death, you make a fuss until the end, Glyek…….’
Jin’s teeth gnashed at the thought of the terrible King of the Black Sea.
It was also worrisome.
‘If the Great Desert of Mitra is in this condition, what is the condition of the other places?’
Contaminated area.
Two and a half years ago, there were about 50 contaminated areas known to the world.
New contaminated areas were discovered as the days went by, but the Great Desert of Mitra was not contaminated until Jin went to Laprarosa.
‘Just as contagious chaos broke out after Glyek disappeared, the contamination on the ground was also multiplying.’
At first glance, the contamination of the Great Desert was at a serious level.
It wasn’t just contaminated with chaos, but to the point where it was considered the land where the fragments of Glyek fell directly.
It’s not an unexpected problem at all.
There’s no law saying that chaos contagion must be confined to living beings.
However, it was a different story to say that Runcandel and Zipfel and other giant forces ‘could not stop it’.
‘Or the Great Desert of Mitra could have been excluded from the Purification Area. If a large amount of manpower is still being put into cleanup of contaminated areas around the world, it can be enough.’
It’s just a matter of checking out the Great Desert to see what other areas are like.
Anyway, Jin’s first impression of human world, who returned after 3 years, was very unpleasant.
“Keew!”
Suddenly, something struck Jin’s back with a ferocious sound.
Jin, without even looking at it, raised his thunderbolts and killed it.
There was no need to observe because monsters were flocking from all sides, led by it.
One hundred, two hundred, three hundred, four hundred…… over a thousand.
Jin immediately counted the approximate number of monsters surrounding him.
However, he soon quit counting. After over a thousand, it was not important to figure out the number. He just have to wipe them all away.
Jin pulled Sigmund out of the scabbard.
Plutonian Battle god 9th Sword Move
Annihilation
In an instant, the dark sky turned blue.
A wing-shaped thunderbolt, formed behind Jin’s back, spread a dazzling brilliance.
The soaring thunderbolts seemed to tear the black sky at any moment.
And as soon as the thunderbolts unleashed, a group of monsters rushing from the front died. They disappeared like dust consumed by fire.
Instead of screams, the bones and flesh of the monsters turned to ash, and flew away.
Nearby monsters, reflexively trying to see the ashes dissipate, met their deaths.
The pale blade was spraying sword aura in all directions like diffusely reflected light.
It looked like Jin was shooting wildly, but the countless swords were slaughtering the remnants of chaos without any error. The monsters seemed emotionless.
Jin’s lightly swung his sword and continued to run at monsters even when dozens died.
Jin didn’t want them to run away in fear.
If time and circumstances would allow, Jin want to get rid of all the monsters that were polluting his brethren’s previous land.
Every second, dozens or even hundreds of monsters were exploded or split in half.
Ordinary chaos contagious people tend to have at least a little bit of form what they were like when they were human.
But all the monsters that Jin was slaughtering were not contagious, but pure remnants of chaos.
‘That’s a lot.’
If it had been Jin before became battle king, he would not have made up his mind to get rid of all the monsters in the Great Desert.
The original way of Jin’s fighting style is to figure out the exact size after breaking down the situation and escape, and seek a more efficient method.
It is because Jin has to rule out the possibility of situation becoming more dangerous after being exhausted from dealing with endless monsters.
There was no need for that now.
Even though he was pouring out his thunderbolts and aura like crazy, his body was just as comfortable as when he was sitting still and meditating.
Monsters of this level could no longer threaten Jin even if a million of them attack him.
No matter how many ants there are, they can’t be threat to dragon.
‘At this point, it seems like the entire world is using the Great Desert of Mitra like a waste disposal site…… Or is Kinzelo doomed? I don’t think so.’
The Great Desert of Mitra belongs to the Land of the Beastmen, and the land of the Beastmen is now Kinzelo’s territory.
No matter how worthless the Great Desert is, there is no reason to neglect it this far.
‘If Kinzelo isn’t really destroyed, someone will come soon anyway.’
Thinking that far, Jin paused his sword for a moment. It was because a human figures could be seen between the monsters.
They were not the personnel of any force that Jin expected to come after detecting the battle in the Great Desert.
‘Living Golem!?’
Or Majin.
They were distorted like the victims rescued during the subjugation of the Dark Magic Society, or it had no face or hair like the imperial family’s Majin that he experienced in Wantaramo Forest.
Intuitively, Jin was able to realize that they were ‘abandoned experiment subjects’.
Also, there are differences from the living golems and Majins that Jin has seen before. Their bodies were all stained with chaos.
The Chaos Purifier can be effective only on infected people before complete encroachment and body transformation.
Besides, they had already been experimented on before they were engulfed in chaos, so even Boras’ purifier could not able to help them.
They, like the monsters, rushed at Jin.
Jin, who watched them carefully while avoiding them, soon realized a shocking fact.
‘In chaos…… I can feel certain patterns.’
Like a magic circle or a spell, the chaos clinging to the bodies of the infected showed a complex yet consistent pattern.
The traces seemed to be part of an experiment. The great forces were not only cleaning up the infected and contaminated areas, but they were also ‘using’ them.
The specimens were largely classified into two types.
The incomplete Plutonian-type created by Kinzelo and the incomplete Majins, which seems to be created by collaboration between Zipfel and the imperial family. The former used thunderbolt, while the latter used aura and mana.
It was no longer surprising that what each of the experiment subjects were developed after the Plutonian tribe and the magic swordsman.
All Jin could do was give them a quick rest.
Some of them may have been forcibly captured, or they may have been betrayed and turned into test subjects while giving their allegiance to each faction.
Either way, Jin swung his sword so they couldn’t feel the pain as much as possible. It seemed that even such a basic sense was not left.
How long has it been?
The monsters slaughtered by Jin had already surpassed tens of thousands, and the abandoned living golems and Majins were no longer visible.
The density of the charging monsters remained the same, but Jin was still not tired.
The more he swung his sword, the more his rage grew.
Jin was hoping that a person, whom he could ask and argue about this terrible situation, would soon appear.
And soon, Jin felt a new energy, not chaos, from beyond the dark landscape of the polluted desert.
‘It’s finally here.’
It’s still a long way, about a thousand steps or more. Even so, the energy of chaos were shaken unsteadily by the energy of the new character.
‘It’s a demon, it’s just one guy. Zephyrin, Bianca. Is it one or the other?’
The aura that pushed the chaos had a dark energy unique to the demons.
The demonic energy that Jin used to feel from the strong people of the demon realm, such as Zephyrin and Bianca Kaligo.
After exploding the released thunderbolts all at once, Jin quietly waited for them. The exploded thunderbolt converged again into Jin’s illuminating heart, but the nearby monsters couldn’t even stand it and oxidized to ashes.
“Oh……!”
Eventually, the demon appeared in front of Jin.
It was neither Zephyrin nor Bianca. It was a male demon that Jin had never seen before, and as soon as he saw Jin, he exclaimed in admiration as if he had seen something interesting.
“I wondered what kind of crazy squire was playing in my playground without any fear…… Are you Jin Runcandel?”
A colourful coat embroidered with gold and jewels, and golden accessories scattered all over the place, he seems to think he is elegant but it’s burdensome. In other words, he was revealing that he was an aristocrat of the demon realm with his entire body.
However, unlike his frivolous appearance adorned with vanity and extravagance, the monsters around him hesitated just by standing still.
Then all the monsters that rushed back, halted with his hand gesture.
He is very strong man. In terms of the strength that Jin had before, it was definitely like that.
“Dark hair, handsome face, innocent eyes. That’s right, Jin Runcandel! I never thought I’d meet you here. I will formally introduce myself, my name is Ranke Halovice. I’m is the 1st young master of Halovice family, the 4th great Duke of the Demon Realm. The ruler and protector of the northern part of the Demon Realm and its beings, the owner of Mount Tna and Mount Karion…….”
“You bastard, are you from Kinzelo? It was a very wise decision to announce the name first.”
Jin cut off his words and met Ranke’s eyes.
“As I’ve heard, you are not polite…..”
Polite?
Bang, crack! Ranke couldn’t finish his sentence.
It was because Jin, who rushed in in an instant, put a fist into his chin.
“Ugh!”
“Otherwise, you would have introduced yourself with a broken jaw.”
