Swordmaster's Youngest Son Novel - Chapter 854

Chapter 854

Ameris accepted the fact that the Demon Sealing Wall was collapsing.

«Yes… The entrance to the underworld is only guarded by my original body in the ancient Oterium, but it didn’t really matter if it was an entrance. That entrance is just an area that can be opened and closed by my will, so if it receives a blow, it could open anywhere.»

After Jin and Murakan reunited with Kinzelo, Ameris frequently complained of headaches and recalled lost memories.

-The Demon Sealing Wall is already partially destroyed, Sir Jin. Ameris probably doesn’t remember this fact. Then, she probably asked you to find out how we brought the demons.

-Partially destroyed already?

-The Legend Tribes destroyed it. At that time, Ameris hastily repaired the Demon Sealing Wall, but… Some of the demons who already lived in the underworld escaped to the Middle World. It’s between the surface and the underworld.

Like the conversation Jin had with Zephyrin at Kinzelo’s headquarters, Ameris had completely forgotten that the Demon Sealing Wall had been destroyed.

«At that time, the ancient Legend Tribe destroyed part of the Demon Sealing Wall… And now that Zito is regaining power, the collapse is accelerating. Also, Paellito, that demon, I finally remember him now. The Demon Sword, the First Sword of the Demon World.»

According to Ameris, there were numerous demons in the Demon World with transcendental powers.

Among them, Zito was a particularly dangerous existence at a different level than the others.

Ameris felt self-doubt.

It was because she had finally failed to fulfill her only destiny, the one given to her after the Sun God’s death.

«Even now, it’s dangerous for me to go fix the seal. As Orgal said, if the seal tries to restore itself through my power, it will only collapse even further. It’s sad that I’ve lost the power of my prime.»

«I know that feeling well. Don’t be too discouraged, Miss Ameris. Who knows, you could recover and become stronger like me?»

«Many of my memories have mostly disappeared, and I can’t find them even if I want to, Murakan.»

«Well, then you should train and become stronger. If you need it, just ask. I will help you.»

«Enough with training. For some reason, I feel like I want to hit you, Murakan.»

«The other day, I received a call from the Holy Kingdom. Ayula gave a revelation to the Holy King. Ayula said that there will be a catastrophe in the world soon, so keep the Manifestation Festival at all times.»

The Manifestation Festival was originally the biggest event to celebrate the day Ayula first manifested in the Holy Kingdom, Vankela.

However, this time, Ayula’s demand for the Manifestation Festival was different. They wanted all the believers in the Holy Kingdom to pray so that they could actually appear.

«Transfer. So, was the revelation the Holy King heard about that?»

«Yes, it was about how the Demon World will soon transfer to the surface world.»

Ayula had a reason to descend to the Holy Kingdom of Vankela even for a short time.

«According to Murakan, this Ayula, the immortal, is known for subduing other immortals who intervene excessively on the surface. Do they plan to participate in Zito’s destruction?»

«That’s a bit difficult, and they say it’s to protect the Holy Kingdom. Ayula said that they will take measures to prevent the Demon World’s land from transferring to the Holy Kingdom, and moreover, they will create a barrier that will prevent most demons from invading the entire Holy Kingdom.»

«It’s a bit unfortunate, but that will just be a big help. As Ayula said, after the catastrophe begins, we won’t necessarily need to keep a significant portion of our main forces on standby in the Holy Kingdom.»

«Ayula seems to be acting urgently to the point that it’s practically confirmed that the bastard demons will ascend quickly. Orgal even said that the demons could ascend in a few days.»

«The Red Legend Tribe is also probably regaining its ancient power, Jin. The fact that the Red Legend Tribe didn’t completely lean in Zipple’s direction despite Elona’s appearance is evidence of that.»

It was as if they were facing an arsenal of explosives that could explode at any moment.

Even if the Red Legend Tribe regained its main forces, including the God of Battle, and even if Zipple completed the Demon God Orb and brought Elona forward, it would still be deadly. Zito and the demons of the Demon World were also preparing for the transfer to turn the world into a hell.

Moreover, the Imperial Family, whose whereabouts and exact forces are difficult to determine, the existence of the Sun God’s religious sect and Sanna, and even Lokia Ganesto, who is presumed to be the biggest puppet master behind all these events.

‘Despite the fact that I’ve become so strong and the Vamel Alliance has grown so much… There’s no shortage of daunting tasks.’

Without Cyron’s presence, Jin was the person closest to the First Sword of the human world.

However, there were many things that Jin couldn’t solve alone.

It wasn’t a selfish fight for his own survival. Such a fight didn’t align with Jin’s purpose or determination.

For the time being, the best he could hope for was that the scattered problems would explode as late as possible, and that the geniuses led by Dr. Qwaul would achieve their tasks as soon as possible.

‘The mass production of Iello and the completion of the Golden Fleet, the release of Laprarosa. The mass production of Iello is something that will definitely happen if given time. However, the Golden Fleet and the release of Laprarosa are something we have to rely on the variable called Peitel.’

-Yes, the Thunder Dragon, Caltor. When he awakens, I plan to try to communicate with the God of Storm, Peitel. Peitel’s power is lightning, and fundamentally, he’s a god, so his authority should be significant. He could become the solution we need.

-That cowardly and reckless god… I’m not sure if he’ll be of any help. He might help, or he might not.

-I heard that during your time as the Provisional Flagbearer, Peitel begged Lord Murakan for his life. He must hold a grudge. So, if he refuses to cooperate, Lord Murakan will defeat him again. What will happen then?

Jin recalled the conversation he had with Valeria not long ago and laughed bitterly.

Even the calm and rational Valeria could only say such things because the Golden Fleet and Laprarosa release project were completely stalled.

«Jet.»

«Yes, my lord!»

«Have you heard from Yulian or the dedicated healers about when the Thunder Dragon, Caltor, might awaken?»

«Yes, my lord. The situation with the dragon Caltor is very promising lately. It’s possible that he will regain consciousness in a week, at most in a month, so be patient.»

«Hmm… Understood.»

Although a week or a month wasn’t a long time, it felt long. The way the world was changing was pressing Jin to that point.

‘It’s fortunate that Orgal promised to provide unlimited support without asking for anything in return for helping against the Demon World… But that promise could be revoked at any time if, for some reason, the situation favors Kinzelo.’

In no time, Jin let out a sigh and said, «Ah, it would be good if powerful reinforcements suddenly appeared magically.»

Of course, Jin hadn’t even dreamed of the fact that Luna, Zed, and the former Black Knights were returning from the Black Sea.

«Heh, kid. How long has it been since this Murakan returned? You seem disappointed. Am I not enough?»

«Yes, strangely, it’s a little insufficient.»

«This brat.»

«We’re the only ones fighting so hard to protect the peace of ordinary mortals and the human world among the main forces. There’s nothing we can do.»

During these diverse reflections, a resonant sound came from the communication device placed on the table. It was a communication from the Empire.

{Jin.}

Jin immediately recognized the urgent tone in his friend’s voice.

«Dante, what’s going on?»

{Can you come here right now? We’ve received a report about unusual phenomena occurring in the Meltador feudal state.}

«Unusual phenomena?»

{Do you remember the city of Romp in Meltador?}

«Yes. It’s where I met Kidard Hall.»

{A peculiar fracture that is suspected to be a dimensional portal has appeared there… We were considering finishing the investigation first and then contacting you, but the matter you mentioned about the transfer caught my attention. It seems it might be related after all.}

«Hmm, has it already begun? You did well to contact me, Dante. I will head immediately to the second castle of Hairan, so wait a bit.»

{Thank you, understood.}

After ending the communication, Jin let out an involuntary sigh.

«Ha, this isn’t the time to feel frustrated. Well, that’s the advantage of having advanced long-distance communication devices. If any problem arises, we can respond immediately, just like this. Let’s go, Murakan. This time, it would be better if Miss Ameris also came with us.»

«Yes, that’s a good idea. Despite the fact that I’ve lost my memories, there’s probably no one who knows more about the Demon World’s energy than me.»

«My lord, what should we do with Kinzelo? Should I ask Lady Siris to inform them that a fracture has appeared?»

«No, we don’t need to share all the information with Orgal. Let’s confirm it ourselves first, and if we need more information, I can meet with Orgal.»

«Understood!»

***

Arriving in Romp with the help of the red owl, Jin’s eyebrows furrowed as memories of his past encounter with Kidard Hall reappeared.

‘If the area commonly known as hell by the people really exists in the Demon World, I wonder if that bastard is suffering there now.’

Romp was exactly the same as when Jin was a Provisional Flagbearer. Despite the world chaos caused by the Sword Emperor Castle War and the Evil God War, this small port city on the outskirts remained largely unchanged, retaining a serene landscape.

However, within that serene landscape, the fear of ordinary people was hidden.

There wasn’t a single fishing boat in the harbor, and it was difficult to find people in the streets.

The peculiar fracture that had formed right in the middle of the city was the reason for this.

«That’s the fracture…»

«As the report says, it’s definitely growing slowly but surely, Jin.»

As soon as Ameris saw the fracture, she lifted her head and spoke.

«That’s for sure. That’s the Demon World’s energy. It seems to be a form of invocation magic spell… Are they trying to transfer the Demon World’s cities this way? This land will soon be eroded by the demons of the underworld.»

While the group examined the fracture, similar fractures were forming like tumors across the surface, including several locations in the Holy Kingdom of Vankela and the Lutero Magical Federation.

The appearance of fractures similar to that of Romp was spreading like an epidemic across the surface.
