Volume 19. Chapter 3.

Reunion chapter 2 Entering the space between the dimensions, Jin-Woo developed a habit that he had never had before. And she began to write down what he saw and experienced during the day, in a notebook. The hunter did not do this with any noble purpose to leave behind him records of his intense mortal battle against the Rulers. The space between the dimensions was a completely “empty” place, which was very much like a country of eternal rest. Without battles against his enemies, this world of complete emptiness, where there was only eternal darkness, would be dull and causing a feeling of loneliness. And as a result, he would hardly be able to maintain his mind. But the reason for keeping a diary was not only that it was boring. Jin-Woo already had experience of a second life in the same timeline. And because of this, he realized something important

-the perception of the event may change depending on when exactly you look at him. But this meant the following: after some time passed, he could notice some things that I have not noticed before. And that’s why he was curious to know what he would feel when he opened his notebook in the future. After a certain time, when his memories begin to fade and become vague. Will he be ashamed of having left such notes?

Or would he regret thinking he could do better?

Or will he even miss this war, although at that moment he was fed up with it?

That was the reason that he kept a diary when he had the opportunity. * noises noises In this infinitely deep darkness, there was only the sound of a pen gently scratching the paper. While he continued to record events of the day, his lips suddenly stretched out in a smile. “… And yet I am quite sure that in the future I will not miss everything that happened here,” Jin-Woo raised his head and caught sight the corpses of the killed monsters lying in this darkness. There were simply an immense amount of them. Again, Jin-Woo enjoyed the taste of victory in the battle against the Rulers. Specifically, in this collision, he killed the “Ruler of Transfiguration”

-the one who caused him the most headache. Twenty-seven years have passed since he entered the space between the dimensions. And finally, the last curtain in this long, dangerous and monotonous war was close. The only remaining enemies were the Dragon Emperor and his direct subordinates, the “Army of Destruction”. Jin Woo’s heart began beating faster because he realized that he would be home soon. “It’s so great that the course of time here and there differs.” It should have been about two years outside. Return home after two years of absence, hmm?

How would Jin Na change during this time?

What about dad?

What about mom?

Do they do well?

Should he explain himself before coming here?

Numerous unrest began to swarm in his head. “No, wait,” Jin Woo shook his head to get rid of all distracting thoughts. Now is not the time to concentrate on how to decorate the last pages of his “diary.” At that right moment, Bellion came up to him and bowed.

-My lord, my surroundings have been cleaned up. There are no living enemies. Jin-Woo carefully looked around. The shadow soldiers finished clearing the battlefield and slaughtered all the still breathing enemies. Now they stood in endless rows, filling the whole space. Faithful warriors awaited further orders.

-Ghhhhhh…

-he had long stopped trying to count the number of his soldiers. Grinning, Jin Woo closed the diary.

-Okay. He removed the notebook with a pen into the subspace and went down the hill, formed from the corpses of dead monsters. The time has come

-time to meet his main enemy. With the one with whom he so much wanted to meet. The time has come to speak and greet the one who first made him defeat since he became the Shadow Ruler. Then the Masters intervened and turned the whole outcome upside down. But, without any doubt, Jin-Woo really lost to the Dragon Emperor in that battle. “… I won’t lose anymore,” a cold spark ran through Jin Woo’s eyes. His heart calmed when he was thinking about coming home soon. But now in his ears there was a furious, loud thump in his ears. * tuduk-tuduk-tuduk-tuduk But what if… Jin-Woo focused on the sound of his heartbeat and thought, not Whether the day will come somewhere in the distant future when he really starts to miss this war. Then he silently turned to the side where the aura of the Dragon Emperor was felt. And along with the soldiers who would take part in this last battle…

-Rise!

-scored full lungs of air, he shouted. Having heard the order of the Shadow Ruler, exactly the same number of shadows rose next to countless dead monsters. Three marshals: Bellion, Ber and Ikrid, together with many commanders, rose in seniority. And behind them silently stood a huge army, which was more than enough to cover a whole continent. The soldiers silently awaited his order. “…” Although there was no air movement in this world, it still seemed as if the wind was blowing slightly. He seemed to be announcing the end of the great war. Jin-Woo silently closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened them again, he whispered the words that marked the end of this protracted war:

-We are coming out to attack the Dragon Emperor. *** Dragon Emperor too I felt it. He felt like a truly gigantic horde, the scale of which could not be counted, confidently moved in his direction. Since when did it all begin?

Since when did the Shadow Ruler, who had always used the tactics of attack and retreat to repel parts of the vast army of the World of Chaos, openly attack his enemies with the full power of his army?

Yeah, his position turned too sharply. Of all the armies that were scattered separately, only the Army of Destruction remained. So it wasn’t so hard to guess where the Shadow Ruler would turn his attention later. The last, decisive battle. Although the Dragon Emperor never imagined that the seemingly endless war would end not with a huge battle against the Masters, but with a clash between the Rulers… Nevertheless, he still believed that the upcoming battle would be just a wonderful ending. After all, unless it the blood did not boil when he remembered the battle against the Shadow Ruler that took place several decades ago?

“…” The Dragon Emperor stood silently and looked at one point without blinking. At that time, one of his subordinates approached him cautiously. “Oh my emperor…” he began uncertainly. The Dragon Emperor, standing with his arms crossed, quickly answered: -Yugumunt died. Hearing the news of the death of the Ruler of Transfiguration, the expression on the face of this subordinate froze. Then he pulled himself together and bowed again.

-Therefore… It might be advisable to move to a more distant place…

-No,

-the Dragon Emperor bared his fangs, and a murderous aura in the form of red fog rose around his body.

-I’m already tired and I’m tired of running away. We fight this bastard right here. I won’t take too much of a step here. This man spent more than twenty years tracing and reducing the armies of the Rulers. So he wouldn’t even give his enemies enough time to regroup and rebuild the army. And since it is impossible to escape from his siege, the Dragon Emperor will openly fight him and decide all. It was a fitting match for the Dragon Emperor.

-Get ready for battle!

He loudly ordered. Just one command from the Ruler, and the entire Army of Destruction instantly prepared for battle.

-Kuaaaaaaa!

Ancient dragons, Dragons and Sky dragons, on which they were

-they all raised their heads high and growled. “He is coming!

” The Head of the Dragon Emperor turned in the direction in which he had just felt the movement of gigantic power. There was a clear reason why the Army of Peace of Chaos was defeated by the Shadow Ruler alone. “… Outstanding mobility.” No one could even stand close to the mobility of the shadow army, which could be freely called by their Ruler whenever he wants to. No matter how close anyone is to them, the distance between them could instantly increase. Or shrink. It was at that moment that the Dragon Emperor was pondering the reason why the Armies of the Rulers were crushed to pieces. The Shadow Ruler slowly emerged from the darkness. And at the same time, millions of black soldiers lined up behind him. The Shadow Ruler!

The fighting spirit emanating from the entire shadow army behind him was so strong that it made even the Dragon Emperor shudder for a moment from this slight sensation of disgust. After two dozen years he finally got himself a strong army You can imagine.

-Kuahahahahahaha!

-and the Dragon Emperor burst out with loud laughter, standing face to face with his incredible army.

-Amazing. Truly astounding, O King of Shadows. “I never thought that you alone could rebuild an entire army.” Who would have thought that everything would turn out that way?

The Shadow Ruler, now clad in tar-black armor, silently looked at the dragon emperor. The former immaturity of the Shadow Ruler was replaced by this calm weightiness. He radiated an aura far more powerful than ever before. The Dragon Emperor flinched with excitement

-a truly powerful enemy stood in front of him. He so desperately wanted to tear it to pieces!

So much I wanted to trample it and swallow it… Inside the Dragon Emperor, the essence of a furious dragon began to seethe. But it was too early to think about whether this meeting was a holiday or a punishment. He wanted to enjoy this moment a little more, trembling with anticipation.

-I want to ask you a question,

-for this the opportune moment has just come.

-Why did the Lords use the “Cup of Rebirth”?

Why did they revive all the slain Rulers and their soldiers?

There was no doubt that on that day the life of the Dragon Emperor came to an end at the hands of the Masters. The pain from the spears that hit his body was still clearly felt in his memory. The huge army of Peace of Chaos would crumble very quickly after they lost their leader due to the death of the Dragon Emperor. And, along with this, the long war between the Rulers and the Masters could naturally end. And, as a result, the Masters would become the winners. This would be a devastating defeat for the Rulers, where there would be no room for any excuses. But, for an unknown reason, they took and revived all the Rulers. They just took and squandered time ago with the help of the “Bowl of Rebirth”!

From that very day he tried to decipher the intentions of the Masters again and again, but could not even come a step closer to understanding the reason. That’s why he still had to ask a question to the Shadow Ruler, who had been with them all the time. And then… “Because I wanted it,” the Shadow Ruler answered calmly and simply. This completely unexpected answer made the Dragon Emperor raise his eyebrows in surprise:

-What did you just say?

. Jin-Woo spoke slowly again, highlighting every word so his opponent could understand him:

-I wanted to kill you all again with my own hands, so I asked them to use the “Cup of Rebirth.” Crazy son of a bitch!

The Dragon Emperor in an unknown way was able to restrain the stream of swearing, which was asking for his tongue. To attack an army of ten million soldiers with only one hundred thousand soldiers, he decided to use God’s tool and turned the clock back?

!

Although this was a really ridiculous statement, at least it solved one of the issues seething in the head of the Dragon Emperor. The reason for the Lords to use the “Cup of Rebirth” and the sudden atrocities of the Shadow Ruler

-these two things, as it turned out, were interconnected.

-Ha ha… Ah ha ha ha ha!

-as if considering all this too absurd, the Dragon Emperor shook his head helplessly and burst out in a fit of loud laughter. The Shadow Ruler of his own free will wanted to fight the huge army of Peace of Chaos again. And, as he wanted, he was able to drive his enemies into a corner. Such an achievement required a degree of respect that excelled everything. The Dragon Emperor had no other way of expressing his opinion about the Shadow Ruler, who almost managed to succeed in a matter that seemed completely impossible. And now he was looking at his last obstacle. And here either you or you. For the first time in his life, the Dragon Emperor was curious to know the name of his adversary. The name of someone who will overthrow him, or will be overthrown him.

-My name is Antares,

-the name that was given to him by the Supreme Being, but which has not been revealed to anyone before. The Dragon Emperor readily revealed his name to this Shadow Ruler.

-This is my name. Remember him well. He did this to find out the name of this Shadow Ruler. With a sad and serious expression, the Dragon King asked:

-What is your name?

Shadow Ruler Jin-Woo decided to answer what might well be the last question of the Dragon Emperor:

-Song Jin Woo. And then he said in a tone, hinting that after that he would not accept any questioning:

-Is there anything else you want to say?

-and a sinisterly black aura filled with the power of death began to rise above his shoulders. The space between the dimensions was very similar to a country of eternal rest. And there it was quite easy to invoke the power of death. Shadow soldiers, who all merged as one with the power of their Ruler, also increased their fighting spirit:

-Uuuuaaaaaaaa!

-the whole shadow army started and howled. The corners of the Dragon Emperor’s mouth, when he saw this sight, rose:

-Is there anything else I want to say, you say?

Were further conversations, when did such a feast open before his eyes?

-No, nothing. Suddenly the Dragon Emperor turned into a burning dragon and appeared before Jin Woo in all its glory. The latter also did not hesitate and turned into a huge black giant. Mountain against another mountain. Two giant creatures looked at each other before their last battle. But this delay lasted only a moment.

-Kuuaaaaaaa!

!

!

Roared the Dragon Emperor, as if desiring to shake the dimensions themselves. And the entire Army of Destruction rushed forward. Jin-Woo was much quieter than his opponent. He extended his hand and indicated the direction to his soldiers. And immediately, almost ten million warriors made their move. At the same time, Jin-Woo rushed forward to the Dragon Emperor with all his might. The end of the long war was already near. He had waited so long for a meeting with the Dragon Emperor only to witness this end. A terrifying ray of light began to gather in the mouth of the Dragon Emperor. Now it was Jin Woo’s turn to demonstrate how he had grown thanks to the experience he had gained before turning back the clock. Time has slowed down many times. In the eyes of Jin-Woo, only the Dragon Emperor and himself remained. Exactly at the very moment when the destructive light slowly erupted from the mouth of the fire dragon, Jin-Woo’s fist, shrouded in a black aura, flew forward. So light and darkness again clashed in a terrible battle between the dimensions.
