Chapter 470 – 134. To the Realm of the Midnight Sun (4)
I remember their deaths.
Millions of grudges that rose from the runes. Bingjeong-dong was quickly taken over.
‘Grudges of the old empire.’
Knoia and his apostles.
And the ancient empires who were annihilated by high-ranking demons who appeared in large numbers.
I saw their deaths firsthand.
It’s not just knowledge.
I am the day the old empire perishes. The day Unir lost his divinity. I directly felt the despair of the people of the ancient empire.
Even the current Irishmen suffered great damage from the Witchbeast.
‘It was on a different level from the damage of the old empire.’
Even so, the Holy Ramir Empire has not perished and is still alive and well.
The imperial family and the Royal Guard Knights, which were newly started under the Lillia system.
And the elite army of Northern Essenmund, the mightiest sword of the Empire. Even the central part, which Chloe’s father, the Marquis Gerard, is protecting.
Even now, the imperial people are thoroughly resisting against the monsters.
‘Although there are variables in Byrea County in the west and Caceres County in the south.’
Still, the Byrea army directly inflicted great damage on Harsen.
The Southern Caceres Islands are also on the verge of invading the Eastern Demon Kingdom.
As the representative of the empire and the son of the former demon king. If you can conclude an alliance with the Demon Kingdom. It can pave the way for a reversal.
In other words, there was still hope. It was a hope I could create myself.
‘But the ancient empires are different.’
They literally lost their brilliant civilization by Knoia. Even their goddesses are missing.
There is no chance of their civilization ever being revived again.
So, the resentment of the people of the old empire that has remained since the end of the world.
Those millions of grudges.
Even though it was a deep underground cave, it was brighter than daytime, and it was enough to dye this ice crystal cave with its darkness.
[Knoia! We have not forgotten this grudge!]
They took control of Bingjeong-dong in an instant.
I was used to these grudges.
Seen from the basement of the Pantheon VI. It was similar to those illusions.
The existence that was sealed underground was Knoia’s Manahat Fallen Dwarf.
Even there, there were grudges that remained due to the hatred for Knoia. It was not an illusion.
‘But the current grudges are far more dangerous.’
The grudges remaining in the six temples. Most of them were sealed in Siertia.
So, the grudge that floated like fog in the basement of the 6 temples was only a part of it.
‘If you count that number, it’s probably less than a few thousand.’
However, Siertia has now released all those grudges.
Millions of grudges. Even the Empire’s number one necromancer. It was like the Undead on a scale that could not be summoned.
‘Is this the last test left to me?’
Ertiga watching from afar. I saw my will nod.
The grudges were showing hostility towards me all at once.
It wasn’t a match that was moderately looked at to see the skills.
[If even we can’t overcome it. You Knoia! I can’t deal with that demon! Does Knoia want another tragedy in which the empire perishes!!]
So they were testing my will.
The weight of life they couldn’t carry on. Am I ready to take on the burden?
And unlike those who faced a cruel end.
Are you ready to prevent the end of the current Irish people and create a new future where the demons are gone?
[O destined existence! You answer!]
Instead of answering, I heard Siertia.
***
I have already awakened the wrath. He was refining his 8th tier aura into his mana heart.
Woo woo woo woo-
Lucia style.
I’ve never had that mana technique that I invented myself.
I’ve never used it at 100 percent max.
‘Even when I borrowed the power of Yong In-hwa or the goddess.’
Theoretically, the only hierarchy that can be used 100% by the Lucia formula is the 8th hierarchy.
The maximum amount that can be refined with an aura is. You have to become the 8th level mana heart to reach the point of maximum acceleration.
‘It’s now.’
However, right now.
I used that Lucia formula to its fullest.
At the same time.
[Kuaaaaa!]
Millions of grudges. All at once, that maddened madness overtook me.
As if the shadow-like waves of bitter grudge met a storm in the open sea.
It was making the surroundings into an apocalyptic space.
However, I wasn’t embarrassed. He has now awakened to the 8th tier.
Woo woo woo woo-
An aura formed in Siertia.
The state of my aura that is created naturally is the extreme night of Sunoh.
And it was different from the polar night that had been used until then.
I understood all of their despair. And as an agent responsible for their revenge. I made all my commitments.
Gripping Supporting Weave-
The jet-black aura of the polar night cut away that grudge.
[Our great empire… Knoia is… The cursed witch… Aaaaa… !! You too… You too will have the same end as us… !!]
Every time I cut that grudge. A terrible curse and resentment constantly occupied my mind.
“West!”
“Yulian!”
The two of them were watching me. Rumi and Erti’s cries were heard.
Mother’s Rosario. Even the rosary of the Great Saint Agnes resonated and was worried about me.
But I wasn’t worried.
‘Mother. I am no longer weak.’
Coward too. The madman swallowed by Knoia’s curse was no longer.
“I remember your deaths! I will become an agent to avenge your grudges!”
At the same time, Yeokrin became even hotter.
Hurr rrrr-
The limit of refinement has been reached.
The 8th tier aura was constantly cutting away grudges. I used the lion heart sword in a trance.
The meaning of all that swordsmanship.
Expression and form. A lion heart sword handed down from the first Reinhardt.
Now I think I know the true form of the lion heart sword.
As a lion. As a loser and leader reigning at the top of the food chain.
I had a duty to hear their voices.
That is the price of their absolute obedience to me.
“From now on, you all pay attention to my words.”
Siertia stopped resonating.
The end of the polar night. The harsh winter night that seems to never end. It spread to the most pitch-black darkness and met silence.
And I swore in front of my grudges.
“You are no longer grudges for losing your country!”
Despite those words, the grudges continued to wrap around me a bottomless darkness. I shouted again while cutting my grudge into the polar night.
“You will be my people from now on.”
At those words, I could feel the grudges buzzing.
Siertia stopped resonating.
And after a while, Siertia started creating a new aura.
The deepest and coldest. Even the polar night, that endless night, is erased and created.
A huge bright flash of light.
“And I will be your new empire! I am Julian von Reinhardt!”
Oh oh oh oh-
The light emitted by Siertia began to swallow the grudges.
White night.
The white space created by the midnight sun illuminated the ice crystal cave.
Finally, the final stage of the Lion Heart Sword I created.
The darkness created by millions of grudges. It was completely covered with the sun of an eternal day that would never end.
***
Bingjeongdong has returned to its original form.
And I, who entered a trance. I came back to reality and reviewed what had happened a little while ago.
‘The last five nights.’
Undoubtedly, the pure white aura I used.
It was the last oath of the Lion Heart Sword, the midnight sun.
“Julian. Proud of you.”
And there was one person coming towards me. Was the maternal grandfather.
“White night… “
“Yes. Julian! You have finally reached the final stage of the Lion Heart Sword!”
My maternal grandfather patted me on the shoulder as if he was proud.
With the words of the maternal grandfather. I recalled the feeling of using the white night just before.
‘That was incomparable to the auras I’ve used so far.’
Millions of grudges.
It was a difficult opponent, comparable to that of Knoia’s Apostle.
But the moment I woke up in the midnight sun. The white night’s light all at once extinguished their grudges.
“The numerous shadows you dealt with from the previous head of Atlin. I have heard that they are the grudges of a ruined ancient empire.”
My grandfather knew Erti as Atlin’s remaining will. Grandfather continued to speak.
“Those grudges were just as dangerous as a mass of terrifying demon power. He was a strong enemy with a strong intent to kill and difficult to deal with, just like the resurrected Greyel.”
But look at me who got rid of those grudges. My maternal grandfather could not hide his eyes that he was proud of me.
“The grudges did not all disappear. The Siertian runes left here are proof of that.”
And Erti and Rumi approached the two.
“Then… “
“But they are no longer ghosts with only hatred. Julian decided to take their revenge. And I swore to create a new world to honor them. Now they will become the guardian spirits protecting Yulian.”
At those words, the maternal grandfather’s expression became even more thrilled.
“Your ancestor is right! Julian, you, as the next great lord, subordinated even those grudges to your guardian spirit! Yes. That realization brought you to the realm of the midnight sun.”
That’s how my maternal grandfather didn’t stop praising me for a long time.
I also had a new feeling that I had finally reached the midnight sun. Still, I couldn’t afford to delay any longer.
Everyone decided to leave the frozen cave at once.
For a moment before that, Rumi grabbed the hem of my clothes.
“Western… Now without you… The body has become unlivable… “
The look in her eyes as Rumi looked at me was very pitiful.
It was only after entering Ertiya Siertia, where they were together. Rumi, a spirit bound in Ice Chengdong, could not leave this place.
However, Rumi was of great help in completing White Nights.
The power of Rumi, a special cryolite. Runaway through its amplification.
Not only did that runaway help me awaken the 8th tier. He even healed the serious injuries sustained by his maternal grandfather.
Above all, I am a magic dragon. The woman I had a heart for, instinctively couldn’t let go.
‘Even otherwise, I was going to take Rumi.’
I asked my grandfather for a while and headed to the cave where Rumi’s body was.
“But my body… It should be harder than the old dragon’s wrath… “
Susasak-
But I am Rumi’s main body.
The clearest and purest body in the ice crystal was lightly separated from the ground.
And I carried the cryolite on my back.
“Let’s go together. Rumi.”
“…”
I was very happy to say that. The main body, the cryolite, trembled.
That’s how I came out of the cave again with my grandfather.
And the base city taken from the Demon Beast Army in the permafrost. I went back to Oustel and said goodbye to my maternal grandfather.
“Don’t worry about this place. The resurrected Graiel and the demonic beasts of the permafrost. I, the Essenmund, will defeat them myself.”
The Demonic Beasts of Permafrost were incomparably stronger than those of other places.
I was the one who personally confirmed the strength of my maternal grandfather more than anyone else.
‘Since my limbs have been cut off… ‘
He could trust his maternal grandfather more than anyone else.
“Duke Pedro. Is that person more dangerous than Graiel? If the Demon Kingdom perishes and the power of Southern Caceres grows. The empire may perish before the demon descends to the ground.”
That Duke Pedro was now leading a large southern army to the Demon Kingdom.
“So, Julian. You must succeed in your work in the Demon Kingdom!”
“All right! Lord!”
But my maternal grandfather was worried about me, and eventually shed tears.
After I joined Lucia who was in Ostel’s camp.
In order to leave for the Demon Kingdom, he returned to the palace of the white lion in Reinheim.
And in the womb of the white lion. Two men had arrived who had done all that I had asked of them.
“Yulian!”
“Yulian-nim!”
It was Rosette and Chloe.
