As he gladly smiled at the message,

Soon, I turn my eyes to one message.

‘I've always seen the exploration message first, but today I'll start with Doren's. ’

It was just a whim.

Sometimes I think this kind of whimsy is also good.

He looks at Doren's message and thinks:

‘Before, I wanted to prepare for war with Afghanistan, the kingdom of hiding Doran. I just...

Help reminds me of the conversation between Doren and the king of the desert, Babylon.

"What did Babylon mean by that?"

The result of one being having all of his power.

‘Is that what Doren will find out when she takes all the power of the Emperor? ’

But I knew what Doren had to give to do it.

I feel a deep bitterness on his face.

‘.. let's look at the situation. ’

Soon, JooJooJoon stopped thinking.

I slowly stretched my finger towards the message.

Zec

I can see the desert with many troops in his sights.

“Kill him!”

“Keep your fever! Don't back down!”

“Ahhhh!”

A murky smoke rises from the scattered screams.

“Out of my way!"

Then the Giant in the crocodile, who appeared through the smoke, raises his Great Sword.

Clove

“Cough..”

Along the transversely drawn Great Sword came a long line.

Dozens of soldiers stop moving like broken puppets.

“ · · · ”

But maybe he didn't like something.

“Being old isn't the end of your life, people! ”

The Giant turns his head to look at Cayron, who is wandering around the center of the battlefield.

Shhhhh!

Soon, the walls of the soldiers surrounding him fell down.

Cayron was shedding blood on the sword as if he were familiar.

I feel the look in his eyes and turn my head.

“We need to get rid of one more so we can broaden our radius, but it looks like we can afford an arm's length. ”

“Yes, but I'm worried. ”

“Worried? There's nothing more to worry about than the lives of your enemies and allies in a space so clearly divided. Haha.”

Cayron was smiling.

Seyzan lies beyond the desert where the fighting takes place.

He looks at the natural castle made of huge carved rocks.

“There were two sovereigns of the enemy we encountered. Then at least the other three are likely to be inside the castle. Moreover, it is natural to worry about Doren, given that there are even beings with the power of the Emperor like Doren. ”

“Yes, but the Merchant Guild Lord's orders to us were to secure our retreat. And...”

Cayron connects the horses, pointing to the cloudy membrane surrounding the castle.

“How did that wake up if we disobeyed orders and tried to help the merchant lord? ”

Even though I've already hit the membrane with all my strength, it hasn't broken.

There was only a tiny hole where Doren's power worked.

We were able to recover at such a rapid rate that we couldn't enter.

“ · · · ”

Cayron's silent voice.

“Seyzan... I know it's a little funny that I'm saying this, but... this war seems to have transcended human territory. ”

“I'm a Giant. ”

Unlike Seyzan's serious words, Cayron smiles in relief.

“You. The human being I spoke of is not merely distinguishing such species, but exceeding the limits of the power that life can have. ”

“Beyond the limits of life... So you're saying that the power of the Emperor is the power of God? ”

Cayron nods as if it were natural.

“Do you think it makes sense otherwise? What creature would use such strange abilities? I've never seen anything like it in my life. The Elves, how rare, and the Demibeasts didn't use those abilities! ”

“ · · · ”

Cayron's decisive voice echoes out as the bear thinks.

“So you're saying Doren stepped into the realm of God beyond the realm of life? ”

“How else can you explain those abilities? And the vast number of sandstorms that turn humans into sandstorms? I've never seen anything like it in my life! ”

After watching the sandstorm hurtling into the city.

Cayron continues to talk.

“By the time the Lord of the Merchants entered the castle, this war had already left our hands. ”

“ · · · ”

In his resolute voice, Sazanne looks at the uncooked corpses.

Open a heavy mouth.

“You just have to watch... I don't like it. ”

“How can you live with what you like? Furthermore, it's a war of beings that has crossed our limits. ”

Cayron is looking at Ziggy Castle.

Seizan reveals his inner self.

“If this journey is to save Doren's son, I must visit my father's grave. ”

“ · · · ”

Cayron stared at him suddenly with a shrewd look in his mind.

“Why did you give birth to her so badly? You're not going into an obstruction." ”

“What do you see me as? No.”

Seizan looks down at his father's great sword.

Keep talking.

“My father left his brother with the kingdom and me with this great sword. However, He did not share the strength given to our brothers by the Great Tang Khan. ”

“The power allowed by Tang Khan? Don't you think it's the same as Doren's? ”

Cezanne shakes her head tightly to Cayron's question.

“It seems similar at one point, but there are obvious differences. ”

“The obvious difference? What difference does it make? Seems to me like you've done enough. ”

“Wrong.”

Sajan shakes his head again.

Cayron, take care of him.

“Fool, if you don't want to see this old man die of curiosity, say so. Huh?”

“Conditions apply. ”

“Condition? What's that supposed to mean? ”

Let's frown like Cayron's face is hard to understand.

Seizan begins to explain calmly.

“The emperor of the desert took away his emotions one by one whenever he empowered Doren. On the other hand, Almighty Tang Khan said that he didn't want anything when he gave my father a miracle. ”

“You didn't want anything? ”

Is there really such a unilateral love?

Looking into Cayron's surprised eyes, Sazanne nods boldly.

“He truly took pity on his father. And I could feel Tang Khan's infinite compassion in his words. But what about that big guy? ”

Sazanne growls, staring up at the sky.

“In my eyes, I can only see a merchant with a mysterious shell. ”

“Well, you could say that. By the way... what power did Tang Khan grant your father? ”

“My father used to say that he could not see. ”

Seizan looks at one eye and continues to speak.

“But by giving him new eyes, he showed him a new world. Not only that, but he gave us great strength to build the kingdom now. ”

“So you're saying...”

Seizan said he was going to visit his father's grave.

That means we will soon find the Eye of Tang Khan.

“That's right. I will return home as soon as Doren's journey is over... no! I'm going to find the new power that the Great One has given me. ”

“ · · · ”

Cayron laughs at Cezanne's words.

“Seeking power is a good thing... but why all of a sudden? ”

“The journey with Doren brought me much enlightenment and knowledge. ”

Elves, Demibeasts, etc. thanks to Doren's passing.

I also got a chance to see the kingdoms that only books had access to.

Having met so many people has allowed me to have so many different experiences.

“But I also had to feel powerless. ”

“... feeling of helplessness? ”

“Yes. My father or Doreen was chosen by him. They also followed and moved the path of their beliefs. ”

Seizan looks up at the sky and connects the words.

“But I just had to watch them by my side. I had to watch his chosen ones go forward behind my back. ”

“That's...”

Cayron was about to say something.

Says Seizan.

“I was not chosen by him. I tried not to mind, but I envy his beloved Doreen... ”

“ · · · ”

“So I want him to look at me at least once. I sincerely wish to proclaim your servant to be here. ”

The image of a child yearning for the love of his parents.

Thus Cayron is silent.

"Is that an obsession with God or a love for God?"

Either way, it's not bad.

I can feel the frenzy in his loving appearance somewhere.

“Hmmm..”

Cayron clears his throat in the face of a serious sazanne.

Turn your gaze to the battlefield at some point.

“Anyway... looks like we're done here. ”

As he said, the mercenaries were cleaning up the prisoners alive.

I was gathering the loot from the corpses.

“Victory over here is assured... but that castle is a problem now. ”

Cayron now gazes at the quiet castle and swallows saliva.

‘Quiet... the odds of victory and defeat are high. If the Lord of the Merchants had won, it would have been better, but if the Lord of the Merchants had lost...’

The only option left for them is to retreat.

When all eyes on the battlefield were focused on the castle.

Sassasak

Suddenly, the membrane covering the castle disappears.

Khuneung

A huge, tightly closed gate begins to flare to the left and to the right.

‘Damn... If the merchant owner is alive, he'll get the rest... He can't be dead, right? ’

"If the creatures of legend come after us..."

As their grace crosses, depending on which creatures come out of the gates.

All the mercenaries are nervous and staring at the gates.

Chuck.

Cavalries made of sand came out of the ground.

They started to plunge from gate to gate.

“Th-the Merchant Guild! ”

“Doreen!”

In between, Doren's expressionless face slowly walks out.

“Haha, merchant lord! ”

“Doreen!”

Cayron and Cezanne rush towards Doren joyfully.

“What the hell is going on? ”

“I was prepared for the Kingdom. But it's okay now. ”

It's all right.

What could be more reassuring than this?

“Which means...”

“Is Doran okay? ”

Cayron was going to talk.

Seizan quickly asked Doran how she was doing.

Doren takes her lips off after a while of silence.

“.. you'd be quicker to see for yourself. ”

“ · · · ”

Along Doren's path.

Cayron and Sazanne enter the castle together.

“Hmph..”

Going into the castle.

Along with the ruined and devastated views of the city.

There are dead bodies everywhere.

"You dealt with a number this size alone... No, is that... a Porunn?" Jeronka and Gamma.

Looking at the bodies.

There were corpses that stood out.

They were the corpses of the soothmasters known as the pride of the realm.

After all these troops, and all these sovereigns...

“ · · · ”

Cayron swallows his saliva by looking at the corpses of the somasters.

‘Only those who have reached the end of the human race... You can't even handle them by yourself.‘ ’

Doren has truly transcended the realm of man.

I followed Doren with awe.

Jubbuck

They were soon able to reach the dungeon beneath the palace.

"This place..."

Numerous statues all over the place.

Meanwhile, those who pressed the black robe are raising their reverence towards Doren.

“Merchant... what are these people...”

“Priests who serve Babylon. And the men who kidnapped my son. ”

Doren's words astonish Cayron.

“So... you're not going to kill him? ”

“It's worth it, I'm just letting it go. I'll kill you any time I find it worthless. ”

“ · · · ”

Doren's words made me feel like two warriors were silent.

“Doran...”

Doreen's little recitation echoes.

Sazanne and Cayron look up at the pillar in front of their eyes.

The End
