Infinite.

Territories ruled by blood lions are more like hell than paradise. The bloody red sky is always filled with swarms of crows coveting the corpse, and beneath it there are countless battlefields mixed with the blood of lions and their families.

Knowing the image of infinity, only Carpagos were among humans. Pure Saint, who put the Apostle Drave on the front, is making himself a religious symbol of sin and drawing together the human faith, but it is because Pure Saint is an exceptional being everywhere.

“Because it is a god who has fallen. ”

I heard a laughter mix from high.

Carpago hesitates between the gaps of the clumsy corpse. Around him were the bodies of non-human xenophobics. He looks up, wiping his cheeks with sticky green blood. There was a giant being sitting on a large chair made of metal.

Blood death.

As the old king of the Giants, he was a hard man to raise.

“I don't know where to scratch up human faith. It is proof that the woman is immature because of her hard work. ”

The bloody lion laughed and chattered. Carpago was immersed in his own world as he listened to it.

About two days ago.

‘Too bad.’

Maybe he was a little impatient. If I had waited a little longer and intervened, I would have been able to kill Yeonlyun, Baek Hyun, and the two of them. No, this is clumsy. Carpago made that impression. Rai Lung noticed that Carpago was coming, but Carpago didn't notice that Rai Lung was coming. The crucial difference between Carpago and Lei Lung in that situation was that.

If I had known Rai Lung was there, I would not have shown Carpago hastily. The power of a bloodman who specializes in unconditional combat is very vulnerable to magic.

“Are you dissatisfied with the power you gave me? ”

“You must have known. ”

The blood lion smiles and asks, and Carpago raises his head upright. The blood lion laughed at him.

“Cancer, as I knew it. ”

“But why didn't you tell me? ”

“Did I have to tell you that? ”

The blood lion smiled and asked. In response, Carpago twisted his mouth and laughed. Carpago was the only apostle of the Blood Lion, but the Blood Lion does not give any advice about combat. Even though the power and power used by Carpago belongs to all the bloodlines, it is Carpago who fights.

“Wouldn't it be much more convenient and swift for me to possess your flesh? ”

The blood lion laughed loudly. The infinite sky trembled at the sound of his laughter. Carpago touches the sword sack of Baal next to him without answering.

“You don't have any complaints about the power you've given me. ”

“It's your own writing. ”

Carpago raises his body as he listens to it. If you killed Yeonlyun and Baek Hyun there... Karpago has a taste for unshakeable regret. If I did, I would be able to gain the power of the spirit contained in Yeonlyun.

“... it is he who must be vigilant. ”

“I know. ”

The blood lion laughed at Carpago's muttering.

“Baek Hyun. I knew it wasn't all I saw in the tutorial, but I never thought I'd be that strong. It is truly marvelous that man has achieved such power. ”

“The Yongseong Army is holding hands with that human, isn't it dangerous? ”

“There's nothing dangerous. Yongseong Army only wants to use him. ”

The blood lion slowly bowed. Carpago looks at the head of the incoming King. The glow of carpago shines on the golden eyes.

“As long as you fail to kill Yeonlyun, there is nothing you can do right now. ”

Carpago chewed his nails.

It is impossible to kill an armed man.

Killing a monarch has many meanings. At least Carpago was a body that couldn't kill the spirit himself. That is why the final goal was to kill Yeonyun, but even then it failed. There will probably be no more opportunities. It's invincible. It's a body that can't be reasonably judged because it's encroached upon by chaos, but it's not Yeonlyun, the second human of the Iron Blood Palace.

‘It wouldn't be a bad idea to promote it alone... but you wouldn't even have a chance. ’

As long as the apostles of the other monarchs know they are involved, they will not be foolish. If so, should I aim for Baek Hyun? No, that's hard, too. He took Lei Lung himself. Lei Lung's residence, Goi San, has no Yong-seong troops. It's a good place to call it the Second Mystery. Fighting Lei Lung there is suicide.

‘There's no way to pull out... Seo Ming colony? No, it's too dangerous. ’

I don't want to provoke Tempest. Rather than be afraid to fight the monarch of that vast storm, I didn't want to step up and increase the enemy. It was just like the blood lion said. Carpago couldn't do it right away, unless he missed the opportunity two days ago.

“Damn it.”

Carpago raises his body by uttering a swearing. If it hadn't been for Rai Lung, it would have ended neatly. Carpago grinds his teeth as he recalls her face.

“Do you want to go next? ”

The blood lion smiled and asked. The pleasant corpses disappeared around here. Only two plasma and carpagos remain on the empty battlefield. Carpago gazes at the eyes of a glittering blood lion and spits.

“Yes.”

A new battlefield was created. Infinite.This place summons countless battlefields past the Blood Lion. Carpago grabs Baal. The time of infinite distortion of the time axis flows much slower than reality. Since being elected as a Preliminary Apostle, Carpago has spent most of his time in the infinite.

Stronger than the army that had fallen before, and more troops filled the surroundings. The Blood Apostle saw his Apostle pull out his power with a relaxed eye.

“Let's see how much you die this time. ”

The blood lion's laughter shook the battlefield.

“What are you going to do? ”

Lei Lung asked. She was still sitting on the window frame staring at Baek Hyun, and Baek Hyun was submerged in her thoughts on the bed. I was persuaded to stay here for a while.

Why?

What I don't understand is Lei Lung's attitude. To be precise, I could not understand Yong-seong's position. What does the Yong Seong Army want?

“What do you want from me? ”

Baek Hyun looked at Lei Lung and asked. I have a question to answer right in front of me. What are you trying to do alone? Rai Lung, who received Baek Hyun's gaze, smiled fluently.

“They say enemy allies. ”

“Is Carpago your enemy? ”

“He's not the only one. ”

“So who's the enemy? ”

Ten years ago, Abyss had 20 rapids. Seven of them have been eroded and corrupted by chaos, while the other 13 monarchs have taken refuge in the external dimension but are unable to return to their original world. One of them, Yong-seong. The serpent of regeneration said he was a hypocrite who had left him to defend balance and order.

“... monarchs have different desires. ”

Lei Lung twisted his leg.

“One of the monarchs who reveals his desires without concealing them is Pure St., the Blood Lion, and the Spirit. Do you understand that? ”

“I know more than you think. ”

Baek Hyun smiled as he looked at it.

“Twenty men fought in Abyss 10 years ago, but the throne of Abyss, the corruption of the Seven Monarchs, etc. I know quite a lot. ”

Liu Lung was astonished at what he said. That was a story that humans never knew.

“Which monarch told you about him? ”

“Is that important? ”

“... no, it doesn't matter. It's true that you didn't make a contract with another monarch. It's worth more than that to you. ”

Rai Lung mutters like that and touches his chin with his hand. She opens her lips, staring at Baek Hyun with her eyes wide open.

“How did the monarch who told you that evaluate the Dragon Army? ”

“A hypocrite who said he must defend balance and order. ”

“I can't deny it. ”

After a short smile, Rai Lung crosses his head.

“But to some extent, I mean it. What the Yong Seong Army wants is balance and order. ”

“Without denying that you are a hypocrite? ”

“It's hypocrisy because the process of achieving him is not good. It was 10 years ago. The source of chaos could not be owned by anyone, but it was a force that could not be owned. ”

“After all, the Dragon Army came to Abyss because of its power. ”

“That's a misunderstanding. Yong Seong-goon doesn't covet the source of chaos. What the Yong Seong-goon wanted to do in Abyss 10 years ago was to kill all but himself. ”

Baek Hyun's eyes widened. Rai Lung burst into laughter at Baek Hyun's expression.

“Oh, don't get me wrong. I didn't think of extermination in a way as ignorant as you. The purpose of the Yongseong army was to preserve the force and survive to the end while the other monarchs died and killed each other. ”

“And kill the last powerful monarchs? ”

“It didn't work out that way. ”

Rai Lung looks out the window as he says so. Looking at the wide open view of the mountain, Lei Lung slowly spoke.

“It is true that most monarchs knew the danger of chaos and coveted the source, but not the soluble army. He knew he could never handle the source of the chaos, and assumed that most monarchs would do the same. ”

“So no one else was going to get it? ”

“to prevent the subsequent destruction. Think about it.What would happen if the ruthless monarch gained that terrible power? It doesn't matter if you kill yourself because you're out of control, but what if you don't? If you succeed in making the source of chaos entirely your own...”

I understand what you're trying to say. The hypocrite, Yong-seong, who said he must defend balance and order. What he was truly vigilant about was that one of the monarchs seized the source of the chaos and completely ruled.

“If that happens, the power balance between the rapids will collapse. The Yong Seong-goon didn't want him. But still, some monarchs covet the source of chaos. ”

“Is that why you saved me? You want my help fighting those enemies? ”

“You have no idea how valuable your existence is. ”

Rai Lung laughed.

“Of course, the power you have will help me fight my enemies. But the greatest value you have... is that you are a pure human being who does not serve any monarch, not that power. ”

“You're human, too. ”

“Different.”

Denied.

“The reason an apostle is strong is because he can harness the power of a monarch. Do you think those apostles are pure human beings? No, it's not. But you're... special. ”

“I don't know what's special. ”

“Humans are not corrupted in the face of the chaos of Abyss. That's why the monarchs began to empower humans. But the apostle is directly connected to the monarch and shares his power. There are a lot of dangers to us getting close to the source of chaos. ”

Lei Lung glanced at Baek Hyun.

“But since you are a pure human being, you will be able to get closer to the source of chaos than any apostle. So...”

“I'm asking you to destroy it. ”

Baek Hyun nods. But Lei Lung looks ridiculous with two eyes at the words.

“... are you serious? ”

“Why? No? ”

“That's the best part... but it's impossible. How can humans destroy a source of chaos that even monarchs can't handle? ”

Rai Lung murmurs with laughter. Since Baek Hyun had never faced the source of the chaos, he made a profound expression without saying anything.

“What I want from you is a joint front. I don't see the source of chaos right now, but if one day the source of chaos emerges. All greedy monarchs will be much more active. By then, I'll be strong on my own. ”

“There are other apostles besides Carpago. ”

“... they can't be trusted. ”

“What about Drave? Wasn't Pure St a good guy? ”

Baek Hyun asked with a face that he knew nothing. I've heard evil stories about Pure Saints everywhere, because I wonder how the Yong Seong Army evaluates Pure Saints.

“Pure Saint is more unbelievable than a bloody lion. ”

Rai Lung frowns and spits.

Apparently, the assessment of Pure St. seemed to be there.

“Why can't you believe it? ”

I even heard the evil talk about Pure Saint from the serpent of Regeneration, but I didn't hear why she hated Pure Saint. I didn't want to ask because the attitude I disliked was so blatant.

“... purest destroyed his own world. How do you believe in such evil spirits? ”

An unimaginable word came out.
