Chapter 332: 332
Saint Jack took the Condemnation of the Sun out of his pocket and opened up his palm . He could see the small old compact mirror .
Click .
There were two small mirrors visible once he opened it up .
Jack’s face was visible on the mirrors . He saw a word appear on the mirrors as well .
< Condemnation >
Jack received the will of the Sun God the moment he read that word .
'Punish that darkness .
Destroy it . '
Jack’s gaze headed forward .
He could see the people whose eyes had turned black . They were holding weapons or casting magic while trying to protect Tower Master Bernard .
‘Destroy them?
I'm supposed to punish them?’
The Condemnation of the Sun .
This divine item was said to make the night white .
The book left behind by the Queen of Death had said to pull a sword out of the mirror .
“Cough!”
“Ugh! Get them! Tie them up!”
Jack turned his head around . The Dark Elves who were not participating in the battle were doing their best to prevent more black eyed individuals from heading to Bernard .
There were people who were doing administrative tasks in the Alchemists’ Bell Tower as well as some people who were captured and brought as slaves .
“…Saint-nim?”
Cale called out toward the stiff Saint . Jack then turned toward Cale .
Cale finally realized it . The Saint was actually calm and collected right now . Jack started to speak .
“I need some time . ”
He needed time to activate the divine item .
He needed to make it so that the innocent would not get hurt . He didn't know how, but he needed to at least try . He needed to try to purify them .
“You need time to purify things?”
Saint Jack nodded his head to Cale who understood his meaning properly .
“Yes . ”
Jack could see Cale’s mouth slowly start to open at that moment .
It was a confident but quiet voice . However, the message would soon be delivered to everyone .
“Raon, deliver the message . ” I understand, human!
Choi Han and Tasha who were running toward Bernard, as well as the sword master Hannah who was charging toward Bernard in the air .
Mary, Sir Rex, and the assassin Freesia as well .
Cale's order was delivered to all of their minds . Change of plans .
The people moving all flinched . The attack squad will buy as much time as possible . Only focus on attacking Bernard . The evacuation team will focus all efforts on getting people out .
Saint Jack could see Cale’s eyes .
The man who was as calm as usual gave the order .
“Saint Jack’s purification will now start . Help him . ”
Rooooooooooooooooooooar-
He heard a roar at that moment .
Saint Jack lifted his head up .
The White Bone Dragon was flapping its large wings as it let out a roar . A black gold aura that looked like a thunderbolt cut through the sky as well .
“…Hannah . ”
The Saint could see his little sister who was charging toward Bernard without any semblance of a smile on her face .
The citizens who were evacuating shouted after seeing that scene .
“…A Dragon Knight!”
Unlike the Roan Kingdom’s Dragon Knight, they could only see white when they looked toward the white-robed Hannah and the White Bone Dragon from afar .
“Hahaha! Are you trying to kill everyone?”
Bernard started to laugh as he moved his hands . However, his gaze was focused on the necromancer Mary .
Mary started to move her hands as well .
The White Bone Dragon and the wyverns charged toward the ground following her movements .
They looked like meteors falling in the night sky .
Bernard started to speak while looking at this sight that would look beautiful from a distance .
“Black mages are in a different class than necromancers who can only control the dirty remains of the dead . ”
There were significant differences between black mages and necromancers who could only handle bones . Even though the word, ‘black,’ was with it, they could still imitate nature and use magic .
Bernard’s left hand started to move .
A black barrier appeared in the sky .
It was similar to Raon and even Cale's shield .
Baaaaang! Bang! Baaaaang!
The White Bone Dragon and the wyverns crashed into the black barrier . They were unable to get past this thick and sturdy barrier .
Bernard looked at them struggle before looking forward again . He then started to speak .
“Isn’t is similar to the Henituse battle?”
The battle between the Northern Alliance and the Henituse territory .
Cale's shield had gone up against the Wyvern Knights Brigade . A similar sight was taking place in the Empire right now .
Bernard who was entertained at that fact then looked toward Choi Han .
Saint Jack, Choi Han and Mary . Everything became clear once they appeared .
Cale Henituse and the Roan Kingdom .
“Of course, the difference is that I am playing the role of Cale Henituse this time . Will I become the hero?”
Bernard could see Choi Han in a white robe swinging his sword toward him .
Choi Han gave a short response back as he swung his sword .
“Nonsense . ”
Bernard laughed as he moved his right hand this time .
“Go fight . ”
Bang!
Choi Han’s aura was blocked .
Three knights with black eyes blocked Choi Han and protected Bernard .
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”
Choi Han could see a group of people with black eyes all shout as they charged forward .
The Dark Elf Tasha started to frown .
“Shit!”
“We can only suppress them!”
“Damn it! We can’t kill innocent people!”
Multiple Dark Elves shouted out with concern .
They would prefer to fight against the knights and mages .
The Dark Elves all started to frown as they had to face the people from the palace who were charging toward them without any weapons . It was an awkward situation .
Bernard didn't care as he activated his black mana and gave an order to the controlled individuals .
“Stop the enemies . Use your legs if they cut off your arms and use your body if they cut off your legs . ”
‘This crazy bastard . ’
Dark Elf Tasha’s eyes started to burn up in anger .
Bernard smiled gently as he controlled the people .
“Protect me, your master . Kill the enemies . ”
The Dark Elves all glared at him in anger, however, there was nothing they could do .
“Uuuuuuuugh . ”
“Aaaahhh-”
It could not be helped .
“This is driving me crazy!”
“Get away from me if you don't want to die!”
Tens of people gathered around them .
The Dark Elves could see many hands grabbing at their hands and feet . They could see hands without any weapons . It was difficult to attack people like this .
“Ugh!”
Choi Han could see the human wall that was blocking his path .
All of the knights were surrounding him in order to prevent him from getting to Bernard .
Baaaaang! Bang! Bang, bang!
Hannah and the White Bone Dragon were still trying to break through the black barrier in the air, however, there wasn't even a scratch on the barrier .
“Damn it! Fuck! Hurry up and break!”
Hannah's veins were popping out as she shouted, however, the black barrier was preventing her from getting to Bernard .
Bernard could not help but laugh at that sight .
“Oh necromancer, can you see it?”
She was currently the only one without any obstacles .
Bernard was speaking to Mary in a relaxed manner .
“Black magic has the power to use magic and to control people to do your bidding . ”
Bernard slowly started to walk .
He walked past the Dark Elves and Choi Han who were being hindered by hundreds of people .
“Ugggh- Bernard, you bastard!”
“Tower Master-!”
He ignored the Dark Elves who were cursing him and slowly walked on as he only spoke to Mary .
Black magic .
A power to control people to do your bidding .
“Whether we kill people in order to make black despair or control people and play with their lives . ”
Tap .

Bernard stopped walking .
Ooooooooong-
Black mana was roaring like whirlwinds in both of his hands .
“It is the greatness of black magic that allows you to control many things at once . It is worlds apart from a necromancer who only plays with bones . ”
He could see Mary’s fingers .
Her ugly hands were moving nonstop .
Baaaaang! Bang! Bang!
She was moving her hands and controlling the White Bone Dragon and the wyverns so that they could break through the black barrier .
However, her limits as a necromancer were preventing her from winning against black magic .
“Alright then, I guess it is time to call my true enemy over . ”
Bernard moved his gaze away from Mary .
It moved past Saint Jack and the brown-robed individual next to him and stopped somewhere .
He was looking at an empty spot in the air .
“Come out, little Dragon . ”
He could feel the faint presence of the young Dragon since a while ago .
It was the same Dragon that had been with Cale Henituse at the Whipper Kingdom’s battle .
It was the existence that he had seen and felt while he was in Honte’s body .
“Hurry up and come out . ”
Bernard started to have a crazed look in his eyes .
It was at that moment .
He heard a voice coming from the empty spot .
It was still a young voice .
“You are not mine to kill . ”
“…Not yours?”
Turn .
Bernard turned his head .
He could see someone kneeling on one knee .
It was Saint Jack .
“Ugggh- ugh!”
Drip . Drip .
Both sweat and blood were dripping down from his face .
Jack clasped his hands together . The compact mirror was between his hands .
Destroy it .
Purify it .
A greater desire than ever before, the word of his lord and his instincts overwhelmed him .
There was a simple reason for it .
“…Heal-”
It was because Jack was trying to heal instead .
Instead of destroying, he was trying to save .
Jack raised his head . He could see the Dark Elves being held back by hundreds of people, as well as his sister and the knights who were trying to break through the black barrier .
Finally, he could see Choi Han’s stoic expression . He was being pushed down by a wall of people that only his face was visible .
However, he was still making sure that nobody got hurt .
Choi Han mouthed some words toward him .
‘Is this enough?’
He was asking if he had bought enough time for Jack .
Jack started to smile .
The Dark Elves and Hannah were also looking at him .
They were waiting for him .
They could fight, but they were waiting because he had asked for some time .
Jack closed his eyes .
'Destroy it .
Purify it . '
The voice in the darkness was shouting like that again .
What kind of light would tell people to destroy things?
“Uuuuuuuugh . ”
He moved his hands away from each other .
He had clasped his hands in the past when he did not want to destroy his younger sister Hannah who had to be healed by Mary using dead mana .
He had his hands clasped the whole time he was in Section 7 of the Jungle .
He had his hands clasped tightly together so that he wouldn’t hurt anybody with his hands .
The hands that had been clasped together all those times moved away from each other .
They then pressed down on the ground .
He started to imagine something in the darkness with his eyes closed .

‘Just need to paint a picture . ’
Section 7 of the Jungle .
‘I just need to paint the light one by one, just like how those dark trees turned white one by one . ’
Flap, flap .
Jack's sleeves were fluttering .
“…What-”
Bernard urgently reached his hand toward Jack .
However, someone grabbed his arm .
He lowered his head . He could see the necromancer who was looking up and smiling at him .
Her eyes were telling him something .
‘I will destroy you . ’
Bernard started to frown .
“Damn it!”
It was as black mana started to rise up from his body and was almost exploding out .
Ooooooo-
The ground started to shake .
It started from the Alchemists’ Bell Tower plaza .
“… Just what-”
One of the evacuating citizens turned around to look . He then looked down at his feet .
“Huh?”
He then picked up one of his feet .
There was a white line .
He could see a white line extending past the bottom of his foot .
He turned his head toward the origin of this white line .
He could see the Alchemists’ Bell Tower in the distance .
Saint Jack .
The white line was extending out from his hands . It was heading throughout the capital in every direction . The white line covered the ground similar to how Mary had purified the trees .
'Destroy it .
Purify it . '
Jack opened his eyes .
He responded to the voice in his head .
“Heal it . ”
Make it better .
Give peace to the hurt .
Jack could see people other than his friends .
He could see their black eyes .
Saint Jack could finally see those eyes clearly .
They were crying .
He could see the sight of the people inside who were crying .
Shaaaaaa
A breeze blew by them .
Then the areas became full of screaming .
“Ahhhhh!”
“Aaah!”
White light shot up from the ground .
The white line that swept the ground like a spiderweb started to shoot light up toward the sky .
“…It’s light . ”
The citizens running away and the citizens already outside the walls all stopped moving as they looked at the ground and the sky .
White light was rising up from the ground of the capital .
It was beautiful .
“Aaaaaah!”
“Ahhhhhhh!”
Dark Elf Tasha could see people moving away from her .
The people whose eyes had turned black were crying .
Their tears were black .
Their eyes seemed to be returning to normal as they continued to cry those black tears .
“Huff, huff . ”
Saint Jack turned his head and looked toward the people inside the Alchemists’ Bell Tower who were being held back by the Dark Elves .
He made eye contact with one of those people .
A person who had finished crying those black tears laid his back on the white line that was on the ground and smiled at Saint Jack while crying normal tears .
Saint Jack lowered his head at that moment .
He slowly removed his hands from the ground .
The cracked compact mirror . He could see the shabby divine item .

“Ke, hehe-”
Jack started to laugh .
Condemnation .
That word had disappeared from the mirror .
There were two phrases on the mirror instead .
He read the first phrase .
< Your power is something you make for yourself to live your life . >
Jack's smiling lips were shaking . His eyes that were blinking nonstop were also shaking .
‘A power I make for myself . ’
Jack could finally understand what that meant .
This healing power was not something that the Sun God gave to him but something he made to make his life shine brightly .
This was the same for the Dark Elves and Mary .
They all had powers they had made for themselves .
His younger sister Hannah . The reason that child became a sword master was for her own life as well .
Jack realized something once he saw this phrase .
There were no Sun God Twins nor even the half-holy twins .
Hannah and Jack .
All of their powers and time existed for their lives .
Baaaaaang!
Jack turned his head after hearing an explosion .
A silver shield that had suddenly appeared was visible in front of him .
Tower Master Bernard who was at the center of a black mana tornado was charging toward him .
“Mirror! You found the mirror!”
Bernard was urgently shouting .
His gaze was firmly stuck on the mirror .
Divine item .
The Condemnation of the Sun .
It was the divine item he had been looking for since a long time ago .
“It was a divine item!”
Saint Jack could see that Bernard was not charging toward him, but toward the mirror . He then lifted his head . Cale who had created the shield in front of him stoically asked him a question .
“Now that the purification is over you know what to do, right?”
Saint Jack stood back up .
He looked down at the compact mirror .
He could see the two phrases through the cracked glass once again .
< Your power is something you make for yourself to live your life . >
And the second phrase .
< You are the light . >
‘…I am the light . ’
Saint Jack looked at the shining white spiderweb as he thought about what he needed to do .
He responded to Cale .
“Yes, young master-nim . It is now time to do what I need to do . ”
Jack then infused his healing powers into the compact mirror .
Craaaaaack!
The mirror’s glass was destroyed into pieces .
“…You destroyed a divine item?”
It was as the charging Bernard flinched and asked .
The now mirrorless compact mirror started to shoot out a white light .
Cale lifted his head up .
He could see the dark night .
However, a white sun was in the sky .
No, it was not the sun . An orb that was shining white rose up to the sky .
“Hannah!”
Jack started to shout .
“Hurry up and go!”
Cale could then see it .
A knight who was riding a White Bone Dragon was flying up toward the, ‘sun,’ that was shining through the night .
Cale could see a white sword at the center of that shining orb .
Now that the Saint was finished, it was the warrior's turn to make her move .
