Chapter 104: Vol. 4 Ep. 17
The group came out of the portal one hundred kilometers away from the Eye of Ra. In the distance, they saw a pillar of fire soar high into the sky.
It was a destructive, but at the same time majestic, landscape.
A huge mythical force that could threaten the world was leaving the land.
“Because of this, Kapitle will no longer be able to burn his lands using The Eye of Ra.”
With the confirmation from Zakiya, Sungjin nodded. “Okay, let’s go back to the capital.”
“Yes.”
Once again, the long-range portal opened, and they all returned to Sungjin’s capital.
As soon as they returned, Sungjin said to Zakiya, “You have a lot to talk about with your brother. I’ll give you a vacation so you can get together. We can continue our conversation three days from now.”
“Thank you for your consideration.” Zakiya bowed, then grabbed Limad’s hand and left.
She and Sungjin had a lot to talk about, but, accepting his considerate offer, she decided she would do it after she finished talking with her brother.
You won, young lion. He had hunted down her mind. He had melted out her frozen heart, which had continued beating only for revenge. Huhu. I leave my fate in your hands, my king. Her strength. Her knowledge. Her heart. Even her body. Everything. Serving a man other than Sungjin was now unimaginable. She was thoroughly in his hands.
After sending Zakiya away, Sungjin talked to the others. “Now, everyone is tired, so let’s rest today and work tomorrow.”
“Okay. Would you like a cup of tea?” Ereka smiled calmly.
“That’s a good idea. Let’s enjoy today’s victory.”
“With some sweets!” Rachel rejoiced and fluttered her clothes.
“Sure.”
Sungjin’s group sat down and conversed cheerfully. Because the story had ended with saving Zakiya and her brother’s life, they were all satisfied.
It was a warmth not seen in Kapitle’s headquarters.
The news spread quickly. The Eye of Ra had disappeared.
Not surprisingly, the obelisk that facilitated the Eye’s power had become nothing more than a meaningless decorative column. Kapitle no longer had a way to prevent Sungjin’s offensive attack.
This bout was in Sungjin’s complete victory.
In particular, his success in bringing Zakiya to his side was an excellent achievement separate from his strategic victory.
No, that couldn’t compare to his performance.
Promising that justice would be fulfilled, to a woman who was dying for revenge alone and deprived of everything, therefore convincing her until she was willing to find happiness.
That was what Sungjin was proud of.
Chapter 11
Three days later.
Zakiya appeared before Sungjin and kissed the back of his hand. “You have given me a new life, hence my new life is dedicated to you.”
“Okay. I’ll use your skills for the upcoming battles. You will be active on the battlefield until the day Kapitle is defeated.”
“Huhu. Only on the battlefield? Why don’t you call me to your bed? This body is also Your Majesty’s.” She narrowed her eyes at Sungjin and pushed her chest forward. The curve of her waist gave off heat.
A ferocious beast greedily plunged towards the prey in front of its eyes. “No, not that.” Sungjin drew a line, holding back his soaring appetite. He didn’t know what would happen if he didn’t control himself from this daunting hot body. “Let’s focus on the war.”
“For now? Okay. I am available at any time. ”
“... We saved your brother. Why don’t you try to be a bit more reserved?”
Zakiya smiled at Eustasia’s advice. “What do you mean? At this age, I can’t change my way of life. ”
“Haha, that’s true.” At Sungjin’s laugh, the other girls began to silently complain.
If I let my guard down, Ms. Zakiya will go to bed with Sungjin first. Ereka swallowed a sigh. Hmph. We’ll see about that.
Eustasia snorted. As if I’m going to stand by and watch her work on him.
Don’t worry, my Queen. You have my support. Jenna shook her tail.
Sungjin tried to cool down the tense atmosphere. “Now, now. Let’s talk about our next operation. I’ll have to push forward with the current offensive ground we’ve gained before Kapitle hatches another plot.”
Victory was in sight, but Sungjin didn’t relax.
His camp, which was discussing the operation, was full of energy and full of spirit.
Those words accurately described their camp’s atmosphere.
On the other hand, at Kapitle’s capital the confusion from Sungjin defeating the Eye of Ra and continuing his offensive was... not causing any chaos.
“Zakiya’s betrayal was used as a part of my plan.”
In fact, Kapitle was smiling with the leisure of a winner. His jewel eye shone brightly. This is exactly the plan Mimir’s wisdom had shown. After all, the eye had never made a mistake in showing Kapitle the path to victory.
With The Eye of Ra and Zakiya as bait, Sungjin, his subordinates, and his organization were distracted while Kapitle’s real tactic was being carried out in the meantime.
Now Sungjin had no other choices. He was bound for execution.
“Huhu, Gungnir is crying out.” The spear, which held the power of its new ruler, shook in anger at the incomplete victory. “Don’t worry. Your victory will soon become a true victory. ” He spoke not only to his soldiers but to the whole world. He ordered the Dukes. “Now commence the plan.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.” The Dukes lowered their heads in fear.
As expected of our king who sees the future. To think he was planning this. We must have looked ridiculous, lamenting over the Eye of Ra. This is his Majesty’s victory.
Sungjin could no longer do anything.
The people under Sungjin’s rule were working with confidence again. They didn’t have to worry anymore.
Sungjin will block Kapitle and become the final victor. That was their belief.
The young boy Lute was studying with that same hope. Since Master Sungjin is protecting us, I should study hard and fix my mother.
Thud.
Thud.
The unknown crash from afar was ominous.
“What is that sound?” Lute came out of the house and looked around, but he couldn’t see where the sound had come from. It sounded as if it was ringing from the sky or from the earth. What could it be? The ominous sound only grew louder, but its identity still was not known to Lute.
The sound was soon heard not only by Lute but by millions of people. Huge roaring noises from everywhere grated on people’s nerves.
Of course, Sungjin was also aware of the situation.
In Sungjin’s capital, many senior heroes gathered to start a meeting. “Did you figure out the cause of the roar across the continent?”
Pangnirin, the Black Priest, bowed his head. “I’m sorry, but I can’t figure out the exact cause. The only information available is that Kapitle seems to be associated with doing something based on the infinite well, the source of his power.”
“This is his other plan?”
“It’s my fault. I’ve neglected other aspects by concentrating my attention on The Eye of Ra.”
“No, there’s a limit to what you can do at one time. I will not blame you.”
“Perhaps the Eye of Ra was a trap, and this is the real plan?” As Zakiya’s face became dark, Sungjin laughed.
“Don’t worry about it. It’s something other people didn’t even think about. We had to do something about the Eye of Ra, even without you. Compared to our resources, the enemy has accumulated much more for a longer period of time.”
“Yes.”
“We’ll solve things one by one as we’ve always done. That’s all.” Sungjin’s decisive voice wrapped Zakiya in warmth.
“Let’s begin by collecting and analyzing the information we have. Send an investigation team where the sound of the rumble was particularly strong...”
It was then. “Master Sungjin, the representative of Eldorado requests a meeting. What would you like to do?”
“Ha, it seems like they’ll resolve this question right away.” Sungjin laughed. “I’ll see him.”
Eldorado’s messenger came before Sungjin.
He had a profound stomach bulge, a triangular shaped mustache, and bulging cheeks that buried his eyes. He had rings on all ten of his fingers. Greedy but incompetent, he seemed likely to be competent in the art of flattery.
He reported with contempt: “Under the rule of our Majesty, who will conquer the continent with his mightiness and benevolence, and who sees the past and the future, I bring you the message of our king Kapitle... ”
“Get to the point.”
“Tsk. Our Majesty’s word. Take it.” A lion emerged from the telecommunications seat. “You can turn it on.”
When the communication ritual was activated, the figure of Kapitle appeared in the hall. “You must have been wondering about the cause of the roaring noises across the continent.”
“I won’t deny that.”
The two confronted one another, each vying for the supremacy of the continent with all kinds of tricks and tactics, armed forces and intelligence. Their eyes met. Both of them were extremely confident that they would defeat the other, and their competitive spirit filled the hall. Neither side looked down on the other, but neither was expecting his own defeat.
One was a strong force made from tradition, who had accumulated power for over a hundred years. The other was an emerging powerhouse that was rising at an astounding speed.
Who would win?
The momentum of their rivalry didn’t stop during their talks.
“Huhu. Punishment is meaningless without knowing your sins. I’ll teach you.” When Kapitle twitched his hand, images of other places were revealed. In the picture, there was a long cliff extending along the coast. “I will personally show you. Be grateful.”
And as Kapitle predicted, after a while the cliff began to twist. Subsequently, the cliff collapsed, but it didn’t end with that. The ground behind it cracked and broke like glass, and lava soared. On the other side, the sea shook and tsunamis swept over the coast.
“Is it an earthquake?” Sungjin was still calm, but he inwardly calculated the meaning of the images. There will be a lot of victims. It’s fortunate that it’s a low-populated area. The question is why Kapitle is showing it to me...
Additionally, Kapitle’s plot was in progress and was being carried out a roar across the continent and the Infinite Well. Connecting the three leads led to a fairly ominous conclusion.
“Huhu. It’s still too early to be amazed. The real deal is this.” As Kapitle twitched his fingers again, a new scene unfolded. There were seventy-two large columns located underneath the ground. Each pillar emitted a mysterious blue color. Their height was taller than the mountains.
In the middle of the pillars, a red highly compressed bead was embedded. In those marbles, a familiar mighty energy revolved.
“It’s similar to the energy felt in The Eye of Ra... but more dense.”
“Yes. This is called Levantane. It’s a black marble of destruction that endlessly concentrates energy and explodes when triggered by a shockwave. ”
Kapitle’s eyes threw a light of bloodlust. “Now I will explode this against you and sink over half the continent. You shall worship and sustain my punishment.”
There was no point in a battle on the battlefield; Kapitle had simply informed them that he would sink half of the continent alongside Sungjin.
It was a brutal massacre.
However, for the annihilation of my enemy, this damage is nothing, Kapitle thought. This world is divided into two anyways: the part that is useful to me and the part that is useless. Destroying the latter is the right of those who have the blessing of the heavens.
“Tsk...” Sungjin’s face hardened at the sight before him: a devastating weapon that could sink the whole continent. Like the High Priest Pedrian, who had tried to summon the evil god down to earth, the scale of the attack was crazy. If they had not balanced each other, the continent would have become one of theirs. But now it was up to him alone to deal with Kapitle. What should I do?
Even with his brain, countermeasures didn’t immediately come to him. The momentum was against him in this situation. The power to blow up the entire continent was too large to deal with.
