He will use the power of the Demon God's orb to make Ron fight again.
The situation was so urgent and perilous that Stam honestly hadn't thought about it until now.
Deciding to manipulate someone who was an enemy just a little while ago, and that too, the patriarch of Zipfel, was not an easy decision even when thinking calmly.
Stam could see Jin's grip on the sword trembling.
It wasn't due to fear or a reaction to backflow. He was trembling because he had to face the grim reality of having to make such a decision.
What kind of thing was the Demon God's orb?
Until Glyek woke up, the Vamel alliance and knights of Hairan risked their lives to protect the Sword emperor castle, with Ron and Jin at the center.
And now, Jin said he would use that thing to revive Ron and make him fight again.
It was a decision that he hated to make more than anyone else, and he couldn't fathom how he had made it.
'I made a big mistake with the 12th flagbearer.'
Stam was ashamed. Also, Stam could now understand once again why Chiron had shown such interest in Jin.
Boom-!
Stam and the Black Knights parried the swords and spears aimed at Jin.
"I will definitely take responsibility for the rudeness I just committed, 12th flagbearer."
Jin was frantically running between hundreds of falling swords and spears with Ron on his back.
'It can't end like this, Sir Ron!'
Ron's murmuring voice, echoing from his back, was louder and heavier than any noise on the battlefield.
My grandson is there.
Those words, faint but like a lifeline, were resonating in Jin's heart.
It was certain that Dante's consciousness remained. Otherwise the hesitation in Glyek's sword right before he attacked Jin and Ron could not be explained.
However, if only a part of Dante's consciousness remained.
After killing Glyek, what next? If he was killed, would the remaining Dante's consciousness also completely disappear?
Can Dante come back?
There was no time to ponder such questions. Tess' flame vanished, Ron was incapacitated, and the Black Sea transformation was progressing.
Glyek's attacks were pressuring the group more intensely with each passing moment.
The only fortunate aspect was that Glyek's attention was still concentrated on Jin's side and the rear.
Talaris and the Vamel Alliance were helpless, but ironically, they were hardly being affected by Glyek's attacks.
Jin was slowly feeling the heat. It meant that Kelliark's fire was cutting through the chaos and drawing closer to Glyek.
He was just desperately pushing away the chaos and approaching Jin. Kelliark couldn't see the inside situation properly from the outside, and even Tess's blue flames were gone, so he was on the verge of going insane.
Glyek's twisted limbs were returning to their places.
The more it happened, the sharper his sword and spear became, and Stam and the Black Knights' defenses were reaching their limits.
Boom-!
An energy of chaos exploded behind Jin. He hurriedly stepped on the side, but it was impossible to completely avoid the shock while carrying Ron on his back.
Rashid, which had been in Ron's grasp until then, rolled on the ground with a thud.
Attempting to go in to retrieve the sword was nothing short of suicidal.
Reluctantly, Jin was about to run towards Kelliark's fire.
"Now you've even lost your sword, you pitiful man."
A chilling energy suddenly surged, enveloping Jin and Ron.
Talaris Endorma, the master of the hidden palace, had finally completed her recovery and rejoined the battlefield. Her eyes were moist as she looked at Ron who was in a state of disrepair.
[...… There was also a human who was chosen by Myriad Ice.]
Glyek looked down at Talaris.
Talaris exuded a completely different level of energy than before after drawing some of her power from the seal of Elona Zipfel.
But she couldn't sustain that power for long. It was because she had already suffered an internal injury while executing Ultimate move, White, and it was also because she couldn't handle waking Elona Zipfel in this situation.
The attack momentarily halted. Glyek had started to clearly recognize Talaris.
Stam and the Black Knights caught their breath, and Talaris picked up Rashid and approached Jin and Ron.
She, too, shared the same thoughts as Jin.
"Your beloved grandson is still fighting that monster alone. Ron, it's not yet time for you to stop..."
Talaris judged that Dante had not completely disappeared yet.
If the seal holding back Glyek had been completely broken, everyone near Glyek would have been unable to survive.
-[You're persistent.]
Glyek didn't just say that for Ron. He also said this to Dante, who was still holding back his full awakening.
Ching...….
The myriad ice created a resonant sound, spreading cold energy in all directions.
The energy froze the ground and the transformation of Black Sea visibly slowed down, but Glyek was able to realize the fact that Jin was not Solderet, but a contractor under the protection of the shadows.
Even so, his killing intent did not fade. On the contrary, Glyek will fight more carefully and leisurely from now on.
Because if the opponent was a contractor, not a Solderet, he needn't be afraid and impatient.
Glyek was afraid of Jin even though he thought Solderet had lost his power when he hadn't regained his rationality.
Glyek's mouth tore open sharply and smiled. Then, as if playing a prank, he thrust his sword and spear into the direction of Jin's allies.
His attack was blocked by a massive wall of ice formed by Talaris before it could overwhelm the Vamel alliance, and Glyek seemed amused even by continuing to slam on the ice wall and burst into laughter.
[Ghahaha…!]
Every time Glyek laughed, the chaos that filled the battlefield vibrated wildly.
Talaris was well aware of the fact that from where his leeway was coming from.
The power to defy fate.
In records of the Hidden Palace, it was recorded that only beings reaching the domain of the Genesis knight could defy and kill the King of Chaos.
No matter how deep and immense the power one possessed, the only thing that could fundamentally hurt the kings of the Black Sea was the sword and magic of the Genesis knight.
The reason why the patriarch of Hairan had not been able to cut the white stone was no different.
It was because no Genesis knight had ever appeared in Hairan.
If the information about White stone had not disappeared at some point in history, like being swept away by the tide. would have handed over the White Stone to those who reached the domain of Genesis knight in Runcandel or Zipfel.
However, assumptions were meaningless in the face of history that had already happened, and Glyek awakening in this land today was a predetermined fate.
"Jin."
"Yes, Madame Talaris."
"All we have to do is hold him back until your father arrives."
Or I can only hope that the records I know are wrong.
Talaris swallowed her words and placed Rashid in Ron's limp right hand.
Even in the midst of losing all his senses, Ron did not let go of the hilt in his hand again.
Talaris didn't put much importance on Dante's remaining consciousness in Glyek.
Since he could not have the power to go against fate, his extinction was inevitable.
Buy time, until Chiron arrives.
Despite having the most powerful humans, excluding Chiron, and almost the entire elite forces of Runcandel and Zipfel gathered in one place, it was a grim reality that their only option was to wait for Chiron.
Although the energy of Myriad ice was blocking the Black Sea, it had not stopped. As the ground turned black, Glyek's body grew larger and larger.
An indescribably ominous purple light shone from the empty eye sockets. Just looking at the eyes made them feel a severe headache along with a tinnitus that seemed to burst their ears.
Kyaaaaagh!
The more perfect Glyek condition becomes, the more violently the Demon God's orb was expressing its fear.
And finally, Kelliark Zipfel broke through the wall of chaos and entered the interior. The first thing they saw when the rear opened was the hull of Kozec, which was rapidly descending as if it were falling.
Kuung, Kkgggrgrk...!
Kozec landed scratching the blackened ground. Kelliark, who had spread a magic circle in front of him, looked around in all directions with bloodshot eyes.
It was to find Jin. Soon, he realized that Jin was alive, the breath he was holding back unknowingly burst out.
'He's alive!'
A flame orb like the sun rose behind Kelliark's back.
[Are you the owner of that hideous imitation?]
"Kelliark!"
Talaris shouted.
Kelliark also has the same thoughts as Talaris. He also thought that if Ron had already been killed or fell into a state where he could not fight, he would heal Ron with the power of the Demon god's orb and make him fight again.
However, there was hardly any black energy characteristic of the Demon God's Orb mixed in Kelliark's flame orb.
That was the problem. The Demon God's orb was still unable to properly give Kelliark its power. The power was entwined as if hiding in Kelliark's staff, Hroti.
The power of the Demon God's orb that entwined within Hroti was not released.
Jin, Talaris, and the Black Knights couldn't help but sense that something was wrong.
The most bewildered person was Kelliark himself. He knew that the Demon God's orb had shrunk, but he didn't expect it to be to this extent.
'This is... impossible!'
The Demon God's orb is incomplete. The powers of the gods imprisoned within it are not yet fully under Kelliark's control.
A failure.
Kelliark and Talaris simultaneously thought the same word.
'If Ron can't fight again, I don't know how long I can hold out against that even if Runcandel comes.'
'Is this mean even the will of over thirty gods cannot go against the King of the Black Sea?'
But at that moment.
Suddenly, Ron got off Jin's back and strode towards Kelliark. The murmur had ceased.
He is dead.
Ron was walking with his life cut off. As if time had stopped for a moment, everyone froze as they watched Ron approaching Kelliark. Rashid was still in Ron's grasp.
For some reason, as Ron got closer to Kelliark, the Demon God's orb fearful screams died down.
'Demon God's orb… reacting to dead Ron, not me...!'
Ron plunged his sword into the ground and knelt in front of Hroti's black energy. As if praying.
Then the Demon God's orb fell silent, and Kelliark could feel it.
The fact that the frightened gods were giving him strength.
