Chapter 143
Baltz struggled to accept the limitations and reality given to him.
However, Zion had far surpassed even that.
If so, wouldn’t it be possible to realize one’s wish through Zion?
“… Does that mean you’re going to recommend Zion Regard as the Cettinos quasar?”
“The letter of recommendation has already been sent to His Majesty the King. After I die, I also wrote the content to be used as my successor. Is there anything else I should do?”
Enrite peeks into Balz’s sincerity and swallows silence.
There was no way that Baltz Cabadrion, the purple shrine, could show weakness so easily.
Rather, he would have to burn his enthusiasm to kill the 3 demon kings and the 4 disasters with his own hands.
However, the purple shrine gave up as a human and was trying to entrust everything to Shion Regard.
“Purple, you can fight more. I don’t even think I’m weaker than before. Why are you giving up already?”
“Because I knew I had no choice but to give up. His Majesty only defeated the Narak King, but did not kill him. Can’t you tell just by looking at this?”
Enrite was also aware of this, but had a different opinion from Balz.
The king could not go to the battlefield because he stayed in the palace, and was buried for decades.
However, his magic power increased even more than before, and his blade became sharper.
If it were the king, even if he faced the stronger Narak King, wouldn’t he have survived somehow?
“… Your Majesty is a golden swordsman. You wouldn’t even know.”
“right. You’re a Cettinos Quasar like me. I think you must have become stronger than before. Even after all these years, isn’t the body still strong?”
If you train your body and magic at the same time, you can delay aging to some extent.
Of course, you have to keep a good balance, and aging comes quickly if it is slightly out of balance.
Even he couldn’t stop his body from getting old, but the king was still preserving his youth.
“But I don’t know if you can use the same power as Shion Regard. don’t you know?”
“I knew and pretended not to know.”
“It wasn’t magic. What kind of power are you using?”
Even Balz knew that Shion had darkness.
I just didn’t think it would be darkness, and I just perceived it as something other than magical power.
“I’d like to explain, but… I don’t know either.”
Of course, from Enrite’s point of view, it was impossible not to know.
It was a darkness he had seen for a long time, and it was also a power newly born by his true master.
However, since it had a different source from the darkness of Acid Rain, I could only guess that it was another darkness.
“I think… It seems to have transcended the human realm. That is not a power that humans can have.”
“You are probably right. It is not of this world.”
Zion’s darkness was a source that did not exist in this world.
No one other than Zion would be able to deal with that darkness.
Lecia explained that Shion had accepted the darkness of the Exceed Rain, but Enrite couldn’t understand even that phenomenon.
‘Can a human have the power of a demonic sword?’
Even he became fully human only after being freed from El Tesoicb.
However, Shion maintained a human body with the darkness of Acid Rain.
‘at that time… It contained the light.’
It was the moment when the darkness of Zion came over King Narak.
Various colors stood out along the indigo darkness, and the source of light was engraved in those colors.
Of course, the source was too vague, but just by mixing with the darkness, I could get a glimpse of the possibility.
‘Was my prediction right?’
Enrite had been looking for a human who could use El Tesoicb and Acid Rain for a long time.

Just resonating the two demonic swords should have put the demons and dragons to rest.
However, if you fully bring out the darkness of the acid rain like Xion did, wouldn’t it be okay to look beyond that?
‘If it’s Shion Regard, it might be possible… … .’
“So I decided to entrust everything to Shion Reggiard. Do I look wrong?”
“I’m not saying it’s wrong. As for me, I want to say how about helping while watching a little more.”
“I will watch. I should help too. Shion Reggiard has plenty of time, and I’m sure I can hold out longer. But… Do you think they will wait for you?”
Currently, the kingdom of Alain was in an unprecedented crisis.
The Shadow Dragon was the first to invade, followed by the Hell King and the Undead Knights who destroyed Allied Castle.
Nevertheless, the reason why there was no disturbance was because the powerful enemies were quickly subdued.
If it had not been for the Knights of Lihines and the Knights of Silage, the Alain Kingdom would have suffered enormous damage and fallen into chaos and conflict.
“We are still alive. You must be alive to see tomorrow. How about looking at the present rather than the future?”
“… It means to live hard in the present moment.”
Balz slowly nodded and pondered over the meaning.
I was trying to put an end to something that hadn’t happened yet.
He and Enrite were waiting at the Budeon Castle, and Kaden would be coming soon.
Most of all, with Shion Regard and the Lihines Knights, wouldn’t it be possible to try to counterattack while enduring somehow?
“You may be right. It seems to be worrying ahead.”
“I can understand your heart. So I won’t say you’re wrong. How about taking a break and thinking again?”
“That would be nice. I haven’t reached 40 yet, but I think I’m senile.”
Balz laughs and gets up from his seat.
To be honest, I wanted to finish everything before I turned 50.
Then he could spend his old age in the rear, or retire and look for a new job.
“Oh. I almost forgot Have you heard anything about silver?”
“I have never met silver in the capital. Why?”
“Silver said he would raise the sword and make the ball. I wondered if something might happen in the capital.”
“… Does that mean you picked up the sword even after fighting the Narak King?”
“yes. I said I would get back what I had neglected.”
Enritte seems to be thinking for a while, but soon realizes something.
If Kaden had decided to hold the sword, he would have carved that determination deep in his heart.
Perhaps the cause was related to Zion, and I wondered if there was something I was aiming for.
‘Did I receive an order from the king?’
However, receiving the king’s order alone does not motivate him to take up the sword.
If that was possible, he would have grabbed the sword as soon as he became a Setinos Quasar.
Wouldn’t that mind change only when Kaden’s wish is fulfilled to some extent?
‘… The king gave me his heart.’
Enritte makes vague guesses and is seized by a strange sensation.
Could that heart be shaken all of a sudden?
Of course, various conditions could have overlapped, but there must have been Shion’s existence in between them.
‘As expected, the human heart… I don’t know.’
Enrite clears her mind and looks back at herself.
Now it seemed that even his own mind was twisted on its own.
Maybe this is also going through a change as a human being.
‘Is it that I can’t even read my mind now?’

Caronbelaz Continent, Plaguelands.
I don’t know when it started, but strong vibrations continued to spread from this place.
From time to time, heaps of stones and dark liquids sprang up, and pieces of rotten flesh and lumps of slime covered all directions.
The monsters in the vicinity hurriedly fled, and some with intelligence were watching the fight.
Curiosity arose because I couldn’t predict how it would end.
“Monzruer!”
Chimera Dragon Asymokus roars and inflates his body.
At the same time, dozens of chimeras poured out, covering them with green slime.
The Chimera melted in an instant, and the green goo continued to sprout and try to devour the Chimera Dragon.
“I’ll have to give up… … .”
The slime dragon, Monzurure, clung to it tenaciously, dripping slime.
Once the distance widened, he was throwing his whole body at a disadvantage.
If he could only eat the Chimera Dragon, he would be able to restore the lost slime.
“What are you doing!”
“Be my prey, Asymokus!”
The slime dragon bites the chimera dragon while being stained with greed.
Slime dissolves the skin of the Chimera Dragon and sucks it in.
As time passed, the slime dragon became stronger, and the chimera dragon gradually slowed down, making it difficult to escape.
I struggled so much to survive, but the inevitable end was approaching little by little.
“Why the hell… … .”
The Chimera Dragon tried with all its might to get out of the slime, but was only buried deeply.
In the meantime, the skin continued to melt, and at some point it dug into it.
It went beyond the flesh and eroded even the muscles, and when it reached the bones, it could no longer move.
“Remember this. You don’t survive because you’re strong, you’re strong because you survive.”
The slime dragon melted everything in front of it and absorbed it generously.
The more he ate the Chimera Dragon, the more his strength overflowed, and even the color of the slime was changing.
As the four major disasters merged into one, he was regaining his perfect body.
“That’s why humans have endured so far, and this is how we ended up!”
“Kugg… … .”
The Chimera Dragon struggled to roll its eyes with its body drooping.
A slime dragon consuming his body came into sight.
The green mucilage had taken on a yellowish color at some point, and inside it were things like bones and organs.
Only then did he realize why the slime dragon wanted to eat him.
“For what… do this… … .”
“I will get my body back. After erasing the things on this earth… I will go to the end of the world.”
There was no reason to be confined to a narrow land mass.
Even having a body like this after being beaten by a human was laughable.
As a legitimate revenge, he would bring destruction to the Karon Belaz continent, and he would have to move toward a new world as a true dragon.
“… … .”
The Chimera Dragon fell into death without even closing its eyes.
However, the slime dragon was busy eating without even noticing it.
“I am getting stronger! You are becoming a true dragon!”

Budeon Castle, on top of the walls.
After receiving the report, Zion and Hanette hurriedly climbed up the wall.
Two Setinos Quasars were already there, and the knights of each unit, including the castle lord, could not take their eyes off the beasts.
Of course, Shion expected this situation, but he was able to recognize at once that a variable had arisen.
‘… There is no Chimera Dragon.’
Outside the castle, chimeras with all kinds of body parts were coming.
However, it was approaching quite slowly, and every time I moved, parts of my body fell off.
Above all, the chimera dragon that created them had not appeared.
‘no way… Did they even fight among the four great disasters?’
