-Secure Jin Runcandel, he must not be consumed by chaos!
Not long after Glyek woke up, Kelliark had called out so urgently that it made his throat brust.
And Jin was able to realize something from that order.
'Even though there is the means of resurrection through the Demon God's orb, Kelliark showed bewilderment as soon as Glyek woke up.'
That meant only one thing.
Jin doesn't know about the other forms of death, but if he was killed by Glyek, the completion of the Demon God's orb would be fatally disrupted.
'That's why Kelliark is most wary of me dying or getting into any type of trouble because of Glyek.'
Also, Jin felt some kind of grudge from Glyek.
The fact that Glyek wasn't just trying to 'kill' Jin. But Glyek was trying to absorb him just as he devoured Dante.
"If I get beaten by Glyek, Zipfel won't be able to complete the Demon God's orb."
Jin nailed it.
Kelliark did not deny that.
It was Kelliark himself, not anyone else, who gave Jin a clue, and that was an obvious mistake.
"As far as I can see, you would never carry out those words even if I were to refuse the proposal. To be precise, you can't."
"Is that so?"
"You are also a human, and you carry a lot of things on your back. How many people have risked their lives to save you, and what about the actions you've taken to save Hairan? But risking your life just to stop my obvious plan is unacceptable. You're bluffing with too much bravado."
This time, Kelliark cut off Jin's answer and continued while keeping an eye on Rosa.
"But not your mother."
Rosa was listening to the conversation between the two.
"The moment I refuse that offer, your mother will not hesitate a moment to throw you into Glyek's jaws. Isn't that right, Rosa Runcandel?"
Rosa smiled coldly.
Rosa evaluated Jin's judgment precisely and accurately. If Jin had said something different, she would have directly made a similar proposal to Kelliark.
The moment you try to do something unnecessary, Jin's life is gone.
And it wasn't a bluff or a gamble, as Kelliark said, it was a real threat.
Rosa also read Kelliark's weakness when he said that Jin "must not be consumed" by Chaos, and was mindful of what he might come up with.
That's why she was not using her power in earnest yet.
"You know it well, Kelliark Zipfel. So, if you want to continue hoping for the completion of the Demon God's orb, it would be wise not to play petty tricks."
Jin's proposal to Kelliark was also one of the reasons why Rosa outright rejected Myu and Anne's proposal.
She still had the means to shake Kelliark's leash by using Jin as leverage.
"It's tiring to have weaknesses."
"We've lived like that for a thousand years, so there's no need to feel unjustly treated."
Kelliark shrugged his shoulders.
"I accept the offer. It is a temporary alliance."
"12th flagbearer, what kind of negotiations are you going to have with Kinzelo?"
In the front, Ron and Talaris, knights and mages were attacking Glyek.
Talaris was still unable to begin the casting of absolute seal in earnest.
Jin made eye contact with Rosa.
"It seems they knew the true identity of the White Stone from the beginning, and there's a high possibility that they had the means to stop Glyek. Whether it's the power of genesis knight, or something else. And what they want seems to be the result of everyone here attacking each other and Glyek, and taking irreversible blows."
Jin pointed behind him. Towards the Knights of Runcandel who escaped after rescuing the Vamel Alliance.
"We will ask them to come forward and deal with Glyek. If those bastards don't join this fight, we'll get out of here immediately and go to their headquarters."
If Kinzelo doesn't comply with the terms of dealing with Glyek, then we will attack Kinzelo even if we have to give up the world's last line of defense.
That's what Jin said.
'Is it to choose whether to come and stop Glyek together or die together? It's a strong hand.'
Kinzelo wants to reduce forces, not the destruction of the world.
Whether they have the power of genesis knight as a means to stop the King of the Black Sea, or some other means.
It might not be possible to win this war with all those who were fighting Glyek right now.
So far, Jin had confirmed that Kinzelo's strongest forces were the leader and Zephyrin.
However, the leader was not in perfect condition, and Zephyrin, who was actively using his power, was also in a state where she was not able to show her full strength.
Of course, even if they were excluded, there were demons who had newly appeared in the Sota Desert, along with the battleship Grenil and Berakt, beastmen warriors, and living golems called Plutonian-type golem.
Among them, there were those who showed the level of a first-class superhuman, such as Bianca Kaligo.
There must be other forces that have yet to be revealed, but it was unlikely that they could immediately withstand the combined attack of Runcandel and Zipfel.
If so, world supremacy would have already passed into Kinzelo's hands a long time ago.
Rosa was very satisfied with Jin's plan.
The fact that he proposed an offer that Kelliark could not refuse, even with his life as a hostage, and urging Kinzelo to act immediately, even if the clan and the world were to perish, matched perfectly with Rosa's thoughts.
"It's been decided then."
Rosa's sword was stained with brilliance. Her aura, which started to explode like an active volcano, was forming another vortex on the battlefield.
Wooo...…! Kelliark's hroti also began to radiate its energy, creating a melancholy resonant sound.
Rosa paved her way alone while defending the knights of the clan, but Kelliark showed no signs of getting tired after a long battle.
If Glyek wasn't the king of the Black Sea, but merely a monster with the same level of battle prowess as him. Killing him didn't require a genesis knight.
They wouldn't have needed to negotiate with Kinzelo, putting the world at stake.
Now they had only one thing to do. To help Talaris open the absolute seal of the Hidden Palace, and determine the number of people for negotiations with Kinzelo.
However, even after the casting of seal was over, Rosa, Kelliark, Ron, and Talaris cannot leave the battlefield.
It was because Talaris had to keep the seal, and the rest had to keep their seats in case of an emergency.
Even if the seal was completed, there was no guarantee that Glyek would stop moving completely, and the time frame of three days mentioned by Talaris was not certain.
Jin couldn't go.
He has always brought favorable results against Kinzelo, but sending Jin to Kinzelo's headquarters now was nothing more than exposing vulnerabilities.
The only reason Runcandel and Zipfel can temporarily unite was Jin's life.
If Kinzelo were to capture Jin, Zipfel would negotiate with them, not with Runcandel. If that happened, Runcandel would definitely be doomed.
"Sir Stam!"
Stam stepped out of the front line and stood in front of Rosa.
"At your command."
Rosa briefly explained to him the results she had drawn with Jin and Kelliark.
"Inform the master of the palace, and proceed with the negotiations with Kinzelo yourself."
"Alright, acting matriarch."
"Octavia!"
This time, Octavia approached Kelliark.
"Negotiate with Kinzelo along with the Leader of Black Knight of Runcandel."
"I understand, patriarch."
Thus, Stam and Octavia decided to go to Kinzelo's headquarters.
Stam then conveyed the plan to Talaris.
Talaris showed signs of discomfort because the plan to negotiate with Kinzelo could deviate from the secret mission of 'defending the world from anomalies'.
If Kinzelo refuses negotiations, and if Runcandel and Zipfel's forces really go to their headquarters and don't deal with Glyek, then the destruction of the world is a foregone conclusion.
In that case, Talaris would have to fight Glyek alone or with Ron.
However, Talaris had no choice but to agree to the plans of the major factions. Chiron couldn't come, so there was no other way.
'… I can't help but think about completely unsealing Elona Zipfel.'
If Kinzelo refuses to negotiate, things will turn irrevocably.
Talaris would have no choice but to release Elona's seal. Her power in the records was clearly comparable to the genesis knight, so she should be able to stand up to Glyek.
However, what would happen when she reappeared in the world was an unknown variable.
-Hidden palace has been hiding this woman from Zipfel for a thousand years.
-You're saying that if they find out, this woman could become active again.
-I don't want to imagine that future. If such a monster is added to Zipfel, which is already dominating, the balance will no longer exist.
A conversation Talaris had with Jin in the past when she first revealed the mission of the Hidden Palace.
As those words suggested, even if Elona stops Glyek, she will stand on Zipfel's side...… Talaris didn't know if that would be a better outcome than Glyek consuming the world.
'Anyway, the moment Kinzelo rejects the offer, there's no solution. I mean, I can't do anything as the master of the hidden palace.'
Whii-!
A cold wind began to spread across the battlefield.
"I will begin the absolute seal!"
Talaris shouted, slipping to the rear and taking up position. She raised Myriad ice in front of her.
At the same time, Rosa and Kelliark threw themselves at Glyek, and Stam and Octavia also stood on either side of Talaris and opened their protective shields.
Jin stood in the middle and looked at the backs of the fighting giants.
Despite Ron's gray sword energy, Kelliark's magic, and Rosa's decisive killing moves that raged like a storm, Glyek showed a slight hesitation but he was smiling.
As if he knew all about their plans.
