Swordmaster’s Youngest Son

Chapter 565



C565

While swords, magic, and Chaos intertwined and clashed in all directions, only the small space where Talaris had begun casting the sealing emitted a pure white glow.

It looked like a pearl that never loses its light even in the depths of the sea.

And as Talaris began casting her absolute seal, Gliek focused all his attacks only on her.

Gliek didn't even defend himself despite his body being torn apart by the giants.

The black Chaos flesh, cut and burst, kept returning to the land of the Black Sea...

But that wasn't the concept of rapid regeneration familiar to humans.

For the Chaos King, the "form" was merely a means of minimal convenience.

The true Gliek was not the body that grew larger and more elaborate as the Black Sea advanced but the Chaos energy scattered and mixed throughout the surroundings.

In other words, the giants' attacks didn't truly harm Gliek; they just distorted his form.

Even if there were a sword capable of cutting the sea in one stroke, even if there were magic capable of erasing the sky in one stroke.

The sea and the sky cannot perish on their own.

Even if the waves cease and the clouds disappear, the sea and the sky always remain there.

Gliek was the same. Even if he received many attacks and the Chaos dissipated, not a single point was extinguished.

"What the hell is that?"

Murakan transformed into a human and stood beside Jin.

Misha and Murakan, among the Vamel Alliance, chose to stay and fight alongside Jin instead of escaping.

"Hey, demon. Is there really no answer to that?"

Misha shook her head.

She was exhausted to the limit and endured by absorbing Shadow Energy from Murakan.

"I think it'll be manageable if I regain all my former strength, so can't you do something like surgery right away? Even if it's a bit risky."

"If that were possible, I would have done it immediately. Say something that makes sense, please. I mean, show some composure and do what's called thinking. Right now, there's only one way, as Jin said. Kinzelo must have the means. They have to agree to negotiations."

"Oh, then why did you stay? You're using all my strength. You should have withdrawn earlier with the others! If things go wrong, Jin and I have to take care of you too!"

"The situation has complicated since that thing woke up. For now, I need to focus, so shut up."

The reason Misha had exhausted almost all her strength and stayed on the battlefield was none other.

It was because there was still one thing she could do.

The release of the absolute seal of the Hidden Palace.

Misha was going to assist with that.

She also thinks that the absolute seal of the Hidden Palace is the only means by which they could be prepared to respond to Gliek the moment he awakened.

"Hidden Palace master, I'll help you seal it. The Chaos wall is getting thicker, so it'll be difficult for the snow toad to make its way and help with the sealing of the Hidden Palace."

Mort is a high-ranking being that can be said to be on par with Tess, but because of that, he can't use all his original abilities in the human world like Tess.

Moreover, Mort was still exhausted from the long-distance dimension movement after the Sword Emperor Castle war began.

This means that in such thick Chaos, Mort's ability to move in dimensions cannot be used.

Misha planned to compensate for that part with her Shadow Energy.

"I didn't think about that part because I was in a hurry. So I'll trust you, Miss Misha."

Talaris didn't ask Misha if she had ever cast a secret palace seal.

Firstly, you couldn't participate in the launch of the Hidden Palace seal if you didn't know how to read the flow.

Like food falling on the white snow, Shadow Energy began to mix with Full Ice energy.

The Full Ice energy and Shadow Energy showed a better combination than Talaris expected.

It seems that in the past, she had sealed with the predecessors of the Hidden Palace.

Thus, the burden will be much lighter.

In the midst of the battlefield resounding with clamor, the space where the sealing spell was taking place was filled with a faint but strangely pleasant sound of wind.

But that didn't mean it was safe.

"Kuh...!"

Talaris, who was in the middle of casting the seal, suddenly spat out blood.

It wasn't Gliek's sword and spear, nor the Chaos energy that struck her.

All those attacks were filtered by giants, knights, magicians, Jin, and Murakan.

"Talaris-nim!"

The land of the Black Sea was like Gliek's body.

Gliek not only struck but also performed attacks using the black earth where Talaris was.

It was only blocked by the Full Ice frost covering the black earth.

Full Ice, like a shield, was slowly giving way.

Others couldn't block the Chaos chains and leashes that emerged out of nowhere from the ground, and Talaris, who began casting the seal, had to maintain perfect immobility.

The black Chaos leashes protruded through the sole of her foot.

Although Talaris was being pierced by Gliek's attacks in this way, she couldn't respond.

That means she has to be exposed to Chaos for a long time.

If Full Ice frost hadn't immediately frozen the punch and the affected area, not even Talaris would have lasted more than ten minutes in that state.

Jin was going crazy watching her.

But showing signs of distress could only hinder Talaris.

Jin gritted his teeth and focused on dodging the attacks coming from the front.

Two hours passed like this.

Full Ice was forming a huge light incomparably stronger than the one that initially spread over a small area.

It was completed.

Talaris's entire body was impaled by Chaos punches, bound with chains, and covered in blood.

'I might not have succeeded without Miss Misha.'

Talaris, who had maintained her immobility all the time, reached out to the floating Full Ice for the first time.

Then, the light of Full Ice surged towards her all at once.

Full Ice Magic Seal Release.

Great Ice Field.

The moment Talaris opened her eyes.

All movement on the battlefield stopped for an instant.

The hundreds of weapons Gliek wielded, the giants fighting against him, the knights and magicians.

All of them ceased moving for a moment due to the energy of the absolute seal of the Hidden Palace.

True to the name of the great ice-covered field, there was no area left unfrozen wherever you looked.

The Chaos energy that had just violently swayed over humans froze and shattered, turning into thick sleet and spreading across the ice fields.

Talaris stood like a tree in the center, radiating white energy.

It was almost blinding when looked at directly.

Gliek was frozen and cracked by the seal's energy.

Like a collapsing sandcastle, the Chaos energy forming his appearance flowed down.

For those who didn't understand the nature of the being called the King of the Black Sea, it might seem that he was completely finished.

Yet, this essentially didn't annihilate Gliek's chaos.

When the sealing time ended, the scattered chaos particles would reform Gliek's appearance.

Moreover, Talaris was not satisfied with the sealing results at all.

'Damn it, I even exerted the power used to seal Elona Zipple once again. Ha, this is truly the limit...!'

The Great Ice Field was clearly cast correctly.

However, it couldn't completely seal Gliek.

Talaris's gaze focused on the only thing left behind, beyond the ice fields like a black star.

It was the White Stone.

Amidst all the frozen and crushed Chaos, the cursed Stone that awakened Gliek shone in black.

And everyone was feeling it.

The fact that the white stone was sowing chaos and causing cracks in the Great Ice Field.

The three days Talaris predicted at the beginning became meaningless.

At most, it would be two long days or one short day.

Talaris concluded that she could only maintain the seal for that time.

Fortunately, thanks to Mort's ability, they can go to Kinzelo's headquarters.

"We only have two days or a day, that's it. Misha-nim, please open the way."

Woong-!

Mort emerged from the Great Ice Field.

While Misha conjured the icy path in the air, Shadow Energy formed a circular passage like a dimensional portal.

Mort immediately recognized that the passage played a supporting role in opening the portal to the snow garden.

Stam and Octavia climbed onto Mort's back.

Kelliark used the fire seal to form a letter announcing the temporary alliance between Runcandel and Zipple and handed it to Octavia.

"Hidden Palace Master, how long will it take for the Snow Toad to reach the land of the Beastmen?"

Rosa asked.

"With Mort's current state, I think it will take three to five hours."

"If Stam doesn't return in 12 hours, we can consider the negotiation a failure. Good luck, Stam."

"Please be careful, Acting Patriarch."

The Shadow Energy passage closed as Mort entered.

And Ron continued swinging Rashid on the white stone even after it was sealed.

Clang!

However, Ron's sword was blocked by the stone barrier, and he swung his sword over the barrier without stopping even after being bounced back.

No one dared to stop Ron. Since his resurrection, he seemed like a demon determined to fight until his body stopped moving.

The sound of the sword clashing against the barrier sounded like Ron's longing roar.

-----------------------

As Talaris had said, Mort was able to reach the Beastmen's Land after five hours.

Unlike those suffering in hell, Kinzelo and the Beastmen's Land were not much different from usual.

Kinzelo had already deployed members throughout the Beastmen's Land to ensure a smooth and direct route to the headquarters.

As soon as Stam and Octavia arrived, they followed the White Wolf warriors and headed to Kinzelo's headquarters.

There was a maze that seemed to have been built by the Cat Tribe, so it was impossible to memorize the way to the headquarters.

"...So, are you saying that Runcandel and Zipple have temporarily sealed the King of the Black Sea and will abandon him and send their entire army here?"

Zephyrin, who came out as Kinzelo's representative, listened to Stam and Octavia's proposal, and confirmed the fire seal.

"Yes."

Zephyrin looked at the two without smiling for a while and raised the corners of her lips.

"Well, it may sound a bit rude, but you really don't know much, do you?"

"What do you mean?"

"Do you really think you can escape the Fifth Chaos King and come to attack us?"

After saying that, Zephyrin erased her smile.
