Chapter 236
Father.
The boy knelt down and held the hand of the pale man lying on the bed.
He looked at him with a cold gaze.
I want to destroy your happiness, just like you did to me.
The fingers of the man, Tul Natra, twitched in the boys grip.
So, give me everything.
The boy, Jin Natra, controlled the shadow at his feet to move slowly according to his will.
Your country too.
The flag of Natra hanging on the wall was swallowed by the black shadow.
Your throne too,
The kings bedroom was slowly engulfed by the dark and deep shadow.
Your power too,
The black shadow that was eroding from all sides of the bed approached Tul Natra who was lying on it.
Everything.
The black shadow covered Tul Natra.
Boom!
Boom!
The screen showed the twisted shadow and Jin Natras back, then turned black.
***
The knights guarding the door of the underground temple turned their heads to follow the cameras gaze toward the stairs.
Boom!
Jin Natras OST started playing.
A pair of black shoes appeared on the stairs made of sand-colored stone.
The camera slowly moved up.
The audience also looked up.
Boom!
Jin Natra, wearing a black uniform and a cold face, was coming down the stairs.
He looked much older than before, showing that time had passed.
He was just walking, but it made them feel suffocated.
Im Yeon unconsciously swallowed her dry saliva.
The temple knights blocked Jin Natras way.
The audience could feel the coldness in their eyes and thought of the indifference and discrimination that Jin Natra had faced,
Bang!
But before they could finish their thoughts, one of the knights was slammed into the wall.
!!
Did he just grab his ankle with a shadow and throw him?!
The audience was shocked by Jin Natras ruthless attack.
Some of them covered their mouths with their hands to stifle a scream.
The knights showed their clear intention to fight and created swords and spears with their shadows.
The sharp black blades flew toward Jin Natra. Jin Natras shadow swept over them like a wave.
The weapons of the knights in thick armor did not even touch Jin Natra.
Bang!
Another knight was thrown into the wall.
Oh.
The audience unconsciously clasped their hands together.
They hoped that the knight would be safe.
Jin Natra, who had knocked down the temple knights, headed toward the altar with a splendid pattern.
A white time stone was floating in the air.
Jin Natra reached out his hand and his shadow wavered and turned into a sword.
He gripped the hilt of the sword with both hands and stabbed the white time stone without hesitation.
Ugh!
The time stone, which was only slightly pierced by the tip of the sword, emitted a white energy as if to defend itself.
Jin Natras hair and cloak fluttered in the energy.
Jin Natra, who squinted his eyes in the strong wind and dazzling light, did not withdraw his sword.
His feet, which seemed to be pushed back by the counterforce, stepped forward instead.
Jin Natras shadow supported his legs and back.
Ugh!
The white light that filled the temple and the black shadow that pierced it like a wedge.
The fight between the two beings, which was not an intense action scene but still made them sweat in their hands, ended with
Crash!
Jin Natras victory.
***
The royal palace of Natra, in Alhyun Hall.
Jin Natra, who was looking at the bowing Natrans, closed his eyes and opened them again.
His eyes were as black as pitch and shone sharply.
His gaze, which seemed to freeze anything it touched, made Park Seong-ah politely clasp her hands together.
She was scared but strangely could not take her eyes off Jin Natra.
Hes a villain but he has some dignity.
Park Seong-ah watched Jin Natra sitting in his office and doing his work.
He looked like he would cause trouble at any moment, but he surprisingly lived a quiet life.
It was around then that Bel Natra, who had been wandering around the universe looking for the red time stone, came to the royal palace of Natra.
Im here! Oh? Nanny. You look a bit old since I last saw you?
Oh my. Bel! Come over here quickly! Something terrible happened while you were away.
The nanny told her about Tul Natra who had collapsed and Jin Natra who had taken his place.
She said that it was all because of Jin Natra that she looked so old now.
I dont know how he did it but it started right then.
Bel Natra listened with disbelief on her face and called for the captain of the knights who guarded Tul Natra.
Father collapsed? Jin took his place? What are you talking about? The other heirs wouldnt just let that happen!
The captain of the knights also had wrinkles on his face that were not there before.
Bel Natra felt uneasy at his strange appearance.
The captain, who had a bitter expression, told her the real reason that only the high-ranking officials knew.
The broken time stone.
The stronger Jin Natra.
And the heirs who became ordinary people after losing part of their shadows.
His Majesty Tul was not forced to abdicate but
Jin would never do that!
Bel Natra could not believe it and headed to the kings bedroom.
She saw Tul Natra lying there with a pale face.
Tul Natra, who was thin and lifeless, did not look like the stern king of the past.
Could Jin really do that?
Bel Natras faith was shaken when she saw her father who was barely alive with a simple treatment.
Nanny. Help me.
Yes. Bel.
Bel Natra took Tul Natra to her spaceship and left the palace.
When the audience was looking at Gwanghwamun Square with curiosity,
Bang!
A spaceship flew past Bel Natras spaceship and crashed into a building.
!
One of the audience unconsciously clenched his hands.
It was his company building.
He wished that aliens wouldnt invade every Monday when he went to work, but they really did.
The two sides did not stop fighting in the sky above Gwanghwamun Square. Spaceships that fell from the sky crashed everywhere.
The audience widened their eyes at the familiar place where a dazzling battle was taking place.
Uh, uh!
The audience clenched their fists at the sight of a spaceship falling toward the statue of King Sejong.
They watched the spaceship fall without breathing or blinking.
Crash!
A cloud of dust rose with a loud noise. The audience who had been staring at the dust as if they could see through it breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the half-destroyed spaceship crashed right next to the statue of King Sejong.
This is bad for my heart!
Imiyeon and Park Seonga leaned back on their seats with a groan.
Bel Natra avoided the battlefield and headed to where Jin Natras spaceship was.
Jin Natras spaceship was hovering over the Geunjeongjeon Hall.
The audience swallowed their saliva at the sight of Gwanghwamun and the palaces behind it that finally appeared.
It was strange and amazing to see a spaceship floating over the familiar Gyeongbokgung Palace.
Bel Natras spaceship landed as if it crashed into the ground.
The ticket office inside Gwanghwamun was crushed by the spaceship.
Damn it!
A blue light shot up from the Geunjeongjeon Hall.
Bel Natra and Shadowman ran out of the spaceship as they saw the wormhole generator starting to work.
Shadowman and Bel Natra knocked down the knights and soldiers who rushed at them without hesitation and passed through Heungnyemun Gate, crossed Yeongjegyo Bridge, and entered Geunjeongmun Gate.
Geunjeongjeon Hall.
Jin Natra and the wormhole generator were on the stairs.
A spaceship crashed into the pond of Gyeonghoeru Pavilion and water splashed.
Jin Natra!!!
Shadowmans voice echoed in Geunjeongjeon Hall.
While the knights were dealing with Shadowman, Jin Natra opened the wormhole.
Above the sky of Geunjeongjeon Hall, a blue flame flickered in the wormhole and a cold ice desert appeared.
Jin Natra and Shadowman collided.
The shadows of the two changed their shapes from spears to rods to swords in a blink of an eye.
The audiences eyes were forced to turn away from the fiery battle.
The scholar who was examining the wormhole generator shouted in panic.
The time stone is gone.
Then how is that thing moving?
Bel Natras voice trembled as she looked at the wormhole that was showing its majesty over the Eastern palace.
Stop it now!
Well. Thats hard for me too.
Two sharp swords met.
Lets go to our parents now.
Crash!
Ill explain it to you.
Bang!
Theyre waiting for you.
Jin Natra and Shadowmans fight became more intense.
The stone pillars that stood in Geunjeongjeon Hall were swept away by the fight, but Geunjeongjeon Hall remained intact without a scratch.
Bel Natra and the scholar were struggling to destroy the wormhole generator on the stairs of Geunjeongjeon Hall.
In the middle of a fierce exchange, Jin Natra suddenly staggered.
Shadowman took advantage of that moment and his shadow mischief made a move.
Boom!
Jin Natra couldnt avoid Shadowmans shadow attack that had a mind of its own and was thrown back.
!!!
The audience opened their mouths without knowing at the sudden shadow attack and again at Jin Natras flying figure.
Jin Natra hit the wall hard.
The stones and tiles of the wall broke from the forceful attack.
The wall collapsed. Jin Natras body fell to the ground with it.
Jin!
William!
Bel Natra and Shadowman ran to Jin Natra in surprise.
That was when it happened.
A black shadow spread out like a wave from Jin Natras body and under him.
The black shadow that swayed like a wave quickly increased its size.
It was an enormous shadow that covered most of the ground and sky of Geunjeongjeon Hall that was ruined by the fight.
It was such an overwhelming pressure that they unconsciously stepped back.
The audience was also overwhelmed by the shadow.
They could only stare blankly without blinking or breathing.
The darkened theater for showing movies seemed like a part of the shadow that came out of it.
The audience in the theater lost their minds and only looked at the screen.
Jin Natra, who regained consciousness, got on his spaceship and returned to his warship.
Bel, I found a way to stop the wormhole.
The scholar who got on Bel Natras spaceship opened his mouth.
It seems that Jin absorbed a piece of time stone.
He can do that?
Bel Natra looked puzzled. The scholar nodded his head.
Natrans cant break or absorb time stones, but Jin is an Earthling.
I see.
He must have put his hand on the wormhole generator to inject energy.
Whats that on Jins face?
Jins body cant handle the energy of the time stone. His flesh is cracking. If his whole body cracks, eventually
Shadowman, who had been listening quietly, jumped up and headed toward the scholar.
Shadowman showed his teeth and asked.
So whats the solution?
I dont know. But maybe your majesty knows! Theres a library that has been passed down from king to king!
Shadowman looked at Bel Natra who was looking for the last wormhole generator.
Did you find it?
No. He doesnt seem to want to go now. Maybe he was hit hard by the attack earlier.
At that, Shadowman stomped on his own shadow.
The mischievous shadow that sensed its masters mood stuck to the floor with a droop.
Then lets go to my father.
Okay.
Bel Natra couldnt help but sigh at the news that Jin Natra was in danger while she was glad that Shadowman called him father.
