Solo Leveling (Only I Level Up) - Chapter 428
“The commander-in-chief is standing on the right, so it’s fine if you stand on the left.”
“…!”
Bell’s eyes widened.
Only then did it know that it didn’t have to be the commander-in-chief to stand with the monarch.
For a moment, emotions of gratitude surged up, and Bell immediately remembered the words that those ministers said to the Lord on TV with the monarch’s mother.
“Holy Grace…”
“do not.”
Seong Jin-Woo stood up and let out a tearful Bell. He sighed in a low voice.
At this time, a soldier also came over.
It was Yegrit who silently listened to the conversation between Cheng Jin-Woo and Bell.
“Master, please give me a chance to challenge”
“You just stand behind me. “
As if seeing through Yegrit, Cheng Jin-Woo quickly interrupted his cautiousness.
“……!”
Under the wise eyes of the lord, Jagrit could no longer speak.
***
“Really… the Shadow King eventually became an enemy, right?”
The dragon emperor in human form calmly listened to the report from the king from the present world.
In the darkness, only the voices of the kings continued quietly.
“Understood, I’ll deal with that guy. Don’t act rashly, you have to prevent more losses.”
After fully understanding the situation, the Dragon Emperor severed contact with the kings.
The sound quickly died away.
Dimensional Gap.
This empty world with nothing in it easily submerged the Dragon Emperor.
Ordered to destroy the existence of all things, the king of destruction created from the darkness.
For it and its army, this space where nothing can be destroyed is no different from hell.
So it does its best to get out of here.
And finally, the day when you can taste the fruits is not far away.
The Dragon Emperor then turned around.
It gave orders to the boundless darkness.
“Soldiers, start preparing for war.”
Immediately afterwards, dozens of ancient dragons, hundreds of dragons, and tens of thousands of dragon clans shrouded in darkness shouted in unison.
Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah-!
Chapter 229 I don’t want you to be in danger again
late at night.
Cheng Jin-Woo climbed to the high hillside and sat down comfortably.
Under the bright moonlight, the woods are clearly visible.
The shadow soldiers who were allowed free time can be seen doing what they want to do.
Among them, the gigantic fangs and dragons are particularly eye-catching.
The dragons were talking with Fangfang with serious expressions, and they didn’t know what opinions they exchanged with each other, only to see the biggest dragon among them came out.
‘What are those guys… trying to do?’
In the next second, the shadow soldiers gathered around the four big men ran away in unison.
The atmosphere is rather unusual.
And the questions were quickly answered.
Seeing the giant dragon spraying sparks into the sky, seeing the thickness of the sparks, Fang Fang couldn’t help but smile.
Then, Fang took a step forward.
Oh no no no no no no!
A huge pillar of fire spewed from Fangfang’s mouth surged upwards, and the pillar of fire illuminated the dark night sky.
All the giant orcs whistled and cheered, and the dragon’s shoulders drooped.
The dragon turned around as if admitting defeat.
It seemed as if they were betting on which side had the stronger firepower.
but……
‘While betting, holding the Pearl of Greed, is this a foul? ‘
I don’t know if it’s because of a guilty conscience, just when Fang Fang secretly stuffed the Pearl of Greed he was holding into his bosom, he happened to meet Cheng Jin-Woo’s eyes.
Fang scratched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly at his master.
Cheng Jin-Woo smiled cheekily at Fang Fang, and then waved his hand indifferently.
Facing the master’s tolerance, the fangs opened his mouth and bowed repeatedly in the direction of the master.
A peaceful sight.
But Cheng Jin-Woo’s heart is not as peaceful as the expression on his face.
‘……’
Cheng Jin-Woo looked up at the sky.
Gradually, he could feel the existence of another world that was getting closer and closer to this land.
Their power, and their malice.
Stimulating Cheng Jin-Woo’s senses to the maximum.
Although now it feels like being on the other side of the thick fog, staring closely at the
Like something indistinct.
‘ But there is no telling when they will materialize. ‘
The fact that war with them is inevitable made Seong Jin-Woo feel heavy.
After pondering for a moment, Cheng Jin-Woo looked away.
He noticed something and took a closer look, the ant soldiers were busy moving trees and stones.
‘…what are they doing again?’
Before Seong Jin-Woo called Bell to question, a voice came from behind.
“It seems to be building a small residence. It seems that I want the Lord to rest comfortably during his stay here.”
The soft voice that doesn’t match the big guy comes from the chief of the army, Berleon.
Cheng Jin-Woo nodded without looking back.
“It’s Bell.”
Bell is the only commander who quickly and enthusiastically executes things that he has not ordered.
On the contrary, Jagrit is the type to do what he is asked to do perfectly, and Berleon is…
this.
Nothing is known about Berleon at the moment.
The strong bond that now binds Berlion was that of the previous Shadow Kings.
Cheng Jin-Woo wanted to understand it a little more in detail.
And did it convey this feeling to Berleon?
Bo Leon silently approached behind Cheng Jin-Woo.
“My lord, why didn’t you send the soldiers back into the shadows again?”
Cheng Jin-Woo still didn’t look away from the soldiers, he answered softly.
“Because it seems to be very boring. Until you get here, haven’t you been locked in the gap between dimensions?”
“…”
Perhaps because he was a little surprised by the answer, Berleon did not answer for a long time.
So Cheng Jin-Woo said again.
“I will never see the former shadow king again…Osborn, don’t you feel very sad?”
Cheng Jin-Woo looked at his father a few days ago and realized what it was like to lose an important person.
Burrion’s mood would not be any different.
Seong Jin-Woo could understand the lack it was feeling.
“When the one intended to stop the fragments that raised the rebellious flag against the Absolute, I stood by his side. When that one got the power of death, I also became a soldier first.”
Berleon continued in a calm, unwavering tone.
“Although I have been assisting that person for a long time that is close to eternity, I have never doubted that person’s judgment once.”
” Your answer is wrong. “
Cheng Jin-Woo once again made it clear what he wanted to ask.
Belion, who was distressed about how to answer, expressed his feelings with difficulty.
“I didn’t think about my feelings.”
“So I gave you a chance. Let you think about it.”
There was a long and heavy silence waiting for Cheng Jin-Woo.
In the wordless answer, Seong Jin-Woo could feel Berleon’s sincerity.
I didn’t hear anything, but I listened enough.
At this moment, Cheng Jin-Woo turned his head to look at Bo Leon.
“I want to know the story of you and Osborne. Can you tell me?”
“It might be a long story.”
“That was great. I just needed a . . . long story that would last until my eyelids got heavy.”
Cheng Jin-Woo cast his eyes forward again, and Bo Leon gently sat down next to him.
“It was when I was a fruit on the World Tree…”
“Fruit? You used to be a fruit?”
“Those soldiers in the sky were all born in the form of fruits on the branches of the world tree. It is an endless giant tree with branches enough to cover the entire sky.”
“Oh…”
While Seong Jin-Woo was concentrating on this story that was different in scale from the beginning, the night gradually deepened.
***
before the sun rises.
It was still too early for the darkness to dissipate, Seong Jin-Woo slowly ran in the sea of trees.
The habit of running ten kilometers a day has become deeply ingrained.
