Chapter 268 – Chapter 27

If I had been asked this question in the past, I would have responded out of the blue.

However, Kaicent, feeling familiar with Jin Soo-ah’s fighting spirit, took it seriously.

“It’s the first time I’ve heard the name of Mr. Jin from you.”
“Yes. I see. But it is a clear fact that this power can only be possessed by those who have inherited the blood of our family.”

As Jin Soo-ah infused her fighting spirit into her fist, an energy similar to her internal energy but different from hers began to flow over her fist.

“A power that can never be obtained through an acquired method. But your power is mixed with a part of fighting spirit.”
“Isn’t there a case of a similar power?”

Artie, who was listening, simply asked if it was a power similar to her fighting spirit.

However, it was Kaicent himself who denied it.

“It’s just as Sua said. In my power, there is an aura that has the same quality as fighting spirit.”

The problem is that they are two different human beings.

If the founder of the Jin family was an ordinary warrior from Joseon, Jin Soo-ah would have regarded Kaicent’s power as something similar.

“The truth is known that the ancestor of our family is a stranger from another world. And the family members, including me, thought that he suddenly disappeared one day after living for hundreds of years and became a fable.”

However, the boy from another dimension feels the existence of fighting spirit that only the direct descendant of the Jin family can possess.

“I think that the ancestor left for another world in some way.
“Isn’t that a leap? All kinds of intelligences in the world have been drifting at this time, but can’t something with similar power come out?”

Dang Seol-young denied Jin Soo-ah’s conclusion, thinking that it was an astronomical probability, but Jin Soo-ah also prepared a question that could solve this question.

“Right. So this question will solve all your doubts. On the count of three, I will tell you the name of the founder and you will tell me the name of the father.”
“Okay.”

Jin-soo-ah slowly counted and the moment she said three,

“Jincheon.”
“Jincheon.”

The same name came out of their mouths.

“No way!?”
“Really!?”

Arty and Dang Seol-young couldn’t hide their astonishment that Jin Soo-ah’s prediction was correct.

“Ha, haha! Haha! That’s right! That’s right! It’s the founder! Fable deungseon, that was nonsense!”
“My father’s descendants…”

I expected it, but when they learned that they were really descendants of Jincheon, they showed complicated emotions.

“Tell me! What achievements did the ancestors who crossed into your world leave behind!?”

Jin Soo-ah couldn’t contain her curiosity about what kind of activity the Sijonim she admired was doing in another world.

“Okay. Instead, tell me what your father did in your world.”

Kaicent was also curious about what Jincheon was doing at Moorim, so they decided to tell each other stories.

As the story began, Kaicent first recited the steps of Jincheon, which he had heard from his parents.

The space age where interstellar travel is possible.

An era of chaos where numerous races and nations wage war, exchange, and diplomacy while fighting war with robot weapons.

Seongguk, who does not know that the universe is perishing, tries to summon a predator from another dimension by calling it a god, and Jincheon and his party learn the truth.

The story of going into the predators’ dimension to annihilate the predators of another dimension, completely eradicating the threat and returning to the original dimension.

“…I understand why Artemis chose to coexist with humans.”
-Thanks to that, I became who I am today while understanding the emotion of fear.-

When Artemis still recalls the memories of that day, she said that even though she was a data creature, her teeth trembled.

Jin Soo-ah, who heard the story of Jin-cheon from her Kai cent, couldn’t hide her excitement.

Somehow calming down her emotions, she told the story of Jincheon’s life in Moorim.

A secret force trying to wipe out the Murim people themselves.

A regressor from a secret force who returned from the future to the past.

He lost his martial arts due to the secret forces, but with the power of Chi-woo, defeated the secret forces and the regressor who wanted him to be the main character, and even created the Jin family.

“What the hell is your father doing?”
“As the story goes, it means that he traveled through all four dimensions and hit all kinds of jokes.”

Dang Seol-yeong and Arty could not hide their absurdity at the man named Jin-cheon, who wandered around in various dimensions.

But she was thinking about something, and Tang Seol-yeong frowned at her.

“Wait. Then, isn’t Sang-gong older than you in terms of genealogy? I don’t know how many generations you are, but Sang-gong is the son of a person named Jincheon, right?”

Although the genealogy was twisted, as a Murim person who is sensitive to distribution, I had to point this out.

“An elder younger than me. How about that one?
“I don’t need it. I just imagined being treated as a superior by you, but I feel weird.”
Haha! I agree!”

The two, who thought that the distribution would be twisted in many ways, decided to ignore the distribution and whatnot.

Tang Xueying was dissatisfied with her not paying attention to the distribution.

It is because Jin Su-ah did not like the way she clung to Kai Sent without hesitation from before.

However, since Cara Sent spoke with her own mouth, she was unable to express her dissatisfaction.

“Oh, that’s right. I also brought Lillian’s message.”
“Shouldn’t you have said that first?”
“It wasn’t anything urgent.”

Jin Soo-ah told Lillian’s message, which was not urgent.

*                           *

A day later.
Isilid, the capital of the kingdom of Luciarkenel.

Numerous people were climbing up the huge wall built to embrace numerous people like a capital city.

“Oh…It comes.”
“Gulp…!”

It is difficult to see far away because of the dark clouds that still block the sunlight as the vampires’ magic is still maintained.

However, he could clearly see the approaching waves of thousands of troops.

The movement of the army, which had come a little closer, stopped.

After a while, spheres of light like fireflies rose from the ground, revealing the appearance of Lillian and the beast army to the people.

“Wow.”
“Oh oh.”

Thanks to this, when the light first appeared, the army of savage beasts looked different from the army of legendary beasts.

“My name is Lillian Valen Prosteni. I am the rightful heir to the Luciarkenel royal family.”

Then, Lillian, riding on a huge, white reindeer, stepped forward, revealing a magically amplified beauty towards the people.

The people who had already seen her face through the magic imager installed by Barnes were not surprised when Lillian appeared.

Instead, they waited impatiently with her pensive face, not knowing how she would receive them.

“The Cameld Kingdom killed my parents and further destroyed the kingdom. No matter how accidental it was, the Cameld Kingdom’s actions as a direct descendant of the royal family could not be forgiven.”

When he revealed his hatred towards the Cameld Kingdom, the people who had adapted to it became tense and their faces hardened.

“I participated in the war as a mercenary under Count Aki or Karaiden to get revenge on the vampires. The people of the old kingdom I witnessed were living peacefully under the rule of the Cameld Kingdom.”

Finally, the content about themselves came out, but when it started with a negative tone, the faces of the people became more rigid.

“But when the followers of Medelgard called the people unclean and slaughtered and burned them, I realized. There was no reason for them to suffer like this. All of this happened because of an unfortunate accident that beings from another dimension came to visit.”

Lillian expressed her feelings openly without flashy, dignified words and sentences.

“I will no longer be caught in the past. So do not be caught in the past either.”
“Ah! The sky!”
“It’s the sun…”

As her speech came to an end, dark clouds covering the sky dissipated and light began to seep through the clouds.

“From now on, it’s time for us to wake up from the time that has stopped for 10 years and move forward together. I promise everyone here. I will make you proud to be born as a citizen of the Kingdom of Lucy Arkenel.”

As the light leaking through the clouds subtly hit Lillian, a holy atmosphere was created in her, as if she had been chosen by heaven.

“Hey, Long live the Queen!”
“Long live Queen Lillian!”

Overwhelmed by the sight, the people shouted the name of Lillian and welcomed their rightful ruler.

“Barnes, is this yours?”
– Whoop whoop. Originally, the people are well agitated by this atmosphere.

Lillian murmured softly, and Vannes, who had been hiding under the shadows, confessed through her magical communications.

Thanks to her day’s rest to clean up and recuperate on the battlefield, in the meantime, recovering from the blood of mercenaries and beasts, she released her magic that had imprisoned her cloud with her exquisite timing.

“Next time, tell me about this in advance.”
-Reality is important for this.-

Lillian didn’t like her letting her go on her own, but she couldn’t complain because her willingness to help herself wasn’t false.

‘By the way, the atmosphere suddenly seems to have changed in a playful way. Was he originally like this?’

Vannes, who had the guilt of destroying innocent people and the kingdom by accident.

Her guilt seems to have disappeared by being defeated by Lillian and becoming her vassal, and by being forgiven by her party.

Still, it seems that it is still a long way from the darkness in her heart to completely disappear, as many of her people died after losing the war.

As her party of Lillian entered through her open gates, her people upon her walls came down and praised her.

“Kuuheuk…”
“Uh, vice-captain. Usho?”
“Ah, I’m not crying… Hmmmm…”

Even when she ran away with Lillian through a secret passageway, she expected this day, but as she grew older as a mere mercenary, her dream gradually faded.

But when she finally got her dream come true, Priscilla burst into tears.

‘It would have been nice if Kaicent was here too.’

And even though she suffered the most in her party, she feels very sorry for Kai Sent, who is recovering without receiving the cheers she deserves.

‘She worked so hard, but she couldn’t be recognized by anyone…’

Among the cheering citizens of the capital, none of them knew that Kaicent was the main character who led this war to victory.

Lillian also had the same guilt as Priscilla, but she showed a bright side as a queen, and she headed to the royal palace to accept the vampires who were waiting in the royal palace.

*                           *

“How are you, Commerce?”
“Greureuk~~ Greureung~ You can make it a little harder.”
“This much?”
“Ahhhhh Joe, good…”

Near the shore of an unknown lake.

Kaicent, who was convalescing in a barracks there, was receiving a massage from Dang Seol-young on a cot and making a pleasant nasal sound.

While kneading her body, she gently stimulates her blood vessels with internal air to speed up her recovery, but the thrill at the borderline came as an addictive pleasure.

“Lillian must be cheering in the capital by now. The war was won thanks to the power of the master, but no one noticed…”

Arty, who was escorting her, complained that Kai Sent’s feat was not recognized by anyone.

“Grrruk…! I can’t help it… I can’t help it… Vannes also… Apologized…”
“In my mind, I want to grab him by the collar right now.”

The reason Arty vomits so much anger is because of Lillian’s message brought by Jin Soo-ah.

Lillian told the injured Kaicent and Akina not to overdo it and focus on recovering from their injuries.

And Vannes, who communicated with the vampires in the capital, heard unexpected information and apologized.

-I was shocked that Sir Shirin betrayed me and released excessive power. In the aftermath, it is said that the Familiar that broadcast our image disappeared. The people say that they won by clearing the clouds and shining the sun with some kind of magic.-

In addition, most of those who knew how to fight properly ran away or died, so the general public only remembers Kaicent and Jin Soo-ah working briefly and thickly before being overpowered by Vannes.

“Grrrrdwdwdd to be embarrassed if people treated me as a hero.”

Kaicent, who had become accustomed to Dang Seol-young’s massage, just imagined the people cheering for him as the protagonist of victory, but he shuddered.

“Haha. Master, you need to get used to such compliments.”
“That’s right. Seobang-nim is going to become a great hero of this world in the future. You should get used to compliments.”

Although her severed arm was attached, Akina, who is recuperating with Kai Sent for a full recovery, also wanted Kai Sent to accept people’s praise as a matter of course.

“Ah, by the way Akina.”
“Yes?”
“Didn’t I tell you before? If you play well, I’ll listen to what you want.”
“Ah♡”

Akina was happy that Kai Sent hadn’t forgotten, and a blush was drawn on her face.

“If you want something, tell me now. I’ll listen when I’m better.”
“That… Um… Hey… Mr. Seo?”
“Say.”
“I… I have a wish… But the problem is that these are two things…”

Akina felt ashamed as she seemed to be cheating on her by saying, “Then increase the number of wishes to x number” In response to the wish, “I’ll grant you any wish.”

However, Kaicent simply increased her wish.

If she even says this, it’s proof that she really wants it.

“You saved my life, and that’s fine. Tell me. What is it?”
“A-Thank you! But… I’ll tell you later when Mr. West is cured…♡”
“Okay. Then tell me then.”
“Yes♡”

Akina smiled happily with delight in a cute and dainty pose that did not match her large size.

‘What kind of wish do you have?’
‘Something is sinister.’

Artie was genuinely curious about her wish, but Dang Seol-yeong instinctively felt that her wish was ominous.

What if she is a being who can even give up her life for Kai Sent as much as she does for herself, to the extent that she is reluctant to talk about it?

In addition, it is suspicious that Kaicent will tell you when he is cured.

‘I think it’s a strange wish. What is it? What do you wish for?’
‘Huhuhu♡ Mr. Seobang♡ Mr. Seobang♡’
‘It’s strange. It’s warm inside the barracks, but why is it suddenly cold?’

Caught between two people who could become dangerous yanderes if they twisted just a little bit, Kaicent felt a strange chill.
