Chapter 57: Last Hope (6)

...

“YOU!”

Kanghwang tried to charge at Yong, but Cayman stepped in and stopped him.

“…What do you mean?”

“I mean exactly what I said.”

“You sound as if the Sky Dragon and Dark Forest Clans have already fought with them.”

“They did.”

Kanghwang started trembling.

“What do you mean…”

“That’s why I couldn’t speak up easily. You wouldn’t believe me. Don’t you see? Why would I not have asked Golden Sky or Dark Forest for help?! Why do you think I’m all the way here in Gorgon?”

A tear slid down Yong’s cheek. Kanghwang and Cayman were shocked. A 207-year-old man was crying. Kanghwang asked in a shaky voice, “Wait… Sky Dragon and Dark Forest were wiped out?”

That was impossible. He thought it was a lie. Three of the Ten-Clan were wiped out in a matter of days?

“…It’s not only them.”

Yong continued, “Golden Sky now has full control of Manticore Fortress.”

Within Manticore Fortress, on the throne of the Master, was a boy with a Golden Drape. At his feet was the head of the former Master of Manticore.

“…I couldn’t get the Guardian Horn, but oh well.”

The endurance of the former Master was stronger than expected. Even when his Spirit Power was sucked dry, he did not give up his control over the Guardian Horn. The boy then stepped and crushed the head in annoyance. The blood became white and it all vanished into white powder.

The men kneeling in front of the boy shook in fear.

Jinong, the leader of the Golden Sky Clan.

The boy who appeared in <Chaos> 30 years ago and quickly rose to power. There was a rumor that he was of the legendary generation who cleared the [Master]’s tower, but no one knew for sure.

“Can I report now, sir?”

“Go on.”

“I will start with the Sky Dragon and the Dark Forest…”

“Whatever.”

Jinong opened up a hologram panel to show an image within the fortress. The live video of a fight was shown, monsters with tentacles and giant mouths were massacring the warriors of the Ten-Clan.

-ARGGH!

-HELP!

“Oh, I’m sorry, sir!”

The sound was so loud that the man quickly lowered the volume. At the corner of the panel, was a chart that showed the losses of each group. Jinong glanced at the chart and nodded satisfyingly.

“It will be done by today.”

“Yes, sir.”

“How are the Leaders?”

“We have cut off the arms and legs of the Sky Dragon Leader and placed him in a cell. The Dark Forest Clan Leader is still putting up a fight with his crew but…”

“Who’s on them?”

“The Elders.”

“Then, they will be done soon.”

“Right, sir.”

The men bowed their head, even when Jinong did not do anything.

“Oh, and did you capture the Thunder King Leader?”
