The blessing of the felinoids tribe. When Jin visited Laprarosa in the past, Jin received their protection for the first time and was able to safely pass through the land of the beastmen.
That protection was still in effect. Jin went to the land of the beastmen again with only a simple disguise, and this time also, the red tiger tribe and the white wolf tribe patrolling did not check Jin even once.
‘Or is Kinzelo’s base guard network weaker than I thought? It doesn't really matter if my entering in the Great Desert Mitra is known to the outside world, but I was wondering if Kinzelo might be a little annoying.'
It is a closed-door training that Rosa sent Jin directly. Reporters in Runcandel were already distributing articles related to Jin's close door training.
The fact that Jin is on the final path to the throne of the sword has become a major theme for the newspapers.
By the time Jin arrived at the road leading to the Great Desert of Mitra after passing through the Yuka Yuka Market, he smiled at an unexpectedly welcome face.
[It's been a while, Jin Runcandel.]
Pure white fur like clean snow, mysterious purple eyes, and a cat-like face.
It was the 'Neru' of the felinoids tribe. A person who gave Jin the protection and led him to the third tomb of Temar.
The reason Jin went unnoticed by Kinzelo in the land of beastmen was thanks to his help.
“I heard from Lulu and Miru in Wantaramo Forest that you escaped safely from the spectres that day. The day has finally come when we can meet in person and say thank you.”
[You and I are thankful for each other, so there's no need for such a thing. It looks like you came to the Great Desert, shall we walk together for a bit?]
Neru didn't know exactly what Laprarosa was, but he guessed that there was an arrangement that Solderet left for Jin in the Great Desert.
After entering the Great Desert, Jin summoned Shuri.
Neru and Shuri exchanged greetings as if they were happy when they first met.
[It's a great blessing that Shuri escaped from that witch and met someone like you.]
[Meow!]
[Jin.]
“Yes, Sir Neru.”
[The reason I came to you is because we have a problem to think about together.]
Chaos-polluted area.
Neru talked about it for a while.
Glyek's chaos permeated not only human society, but also the world of small beastmen.
[We, the felinoids tribe, are trying to participate in the cleanup of the contaminated area, at least to protect the small beastmen. And among humans, the only people we can trust are you and Hister's survivors.]
According to Neru's explanation, the felinoids were able to deal with the chaos in the contaminated area through their unique barrier ability.
However, their power is weak due to the absence of the current and previous cat gods, so they tried to strengthen their abilities by finding their 'forgotten temple' through Valeria's record magic.
Jin readily accepted Neru's offer and took out a pen and paper.
“Go to Tikan and show them this letter. Perhaps Valeria will not refuse.”
[Yes, Lulu and Miru express that she, like you, is fated for the world.]
“It’s an exaggeration that makes my face heat up every time I hear it.”
Thanks to the anecdote in Wantaramo Forest, Valeria had a favourable attitude towards the felinoids tribe including Lulu and Miru.
[When we are able to borrow the power of our god thanks to her, we will not use it only for small beastmen.]
Afterwards, Neru rode Shuri and escorted Jin to near the entrance of Laprarosa.
[Now I'll go back.]
“It was really nice to meet you, please say hello to Miru and Lulu.”
As always, when Neru left, Tantel, a member of the Plutonian tribe, greeted Jin.
“Brother Jin! Oh, and Shuri! It’s been a while!"
[Mya mya!]
“Brother Tantel. How are you?”
“What are we doing other than waiting for you? Oh, there are things to worry about. If brother die outside, we won't even hear from you. If my brother is strong enough, we won't have to worry.”
Jin burst out laughing.
Tantel recognized at once that Jin had become stronger, but Jin was not yet a transcendent warrior by the standards of the Plutonian tribe.
The Plutonian tribe is the only group in the world that could treat Jin as a ‘promising warrior’.
“So this time I plan to stay longer and practice.”
“Good idea!”
As Tantel's sword cut through the air, the portal to Laprarosa opened.
Buildings decorated with all kinds of jewels on the golden road, and the illuminating hearts of the dead siblings hung in front of the gates of every house.
This brilliant dead world was now Jin's second home. His heart was pounding at the thought that maybe he could take this scenery outside.
After passing the golden road, the neat stone road, and the huge stone statues honoring the dead warriors of the Plutonian tribe, they arrived at the hall of battle gods.
Before opening the main gate, Jin touched the hearts of the warriors of the Plutonian tribe a few times embedded in the outer wall of the Hall of the battle god.
coogg...…!
Pop-! Puff!
At the same time as the gate opened, the Plutonian brothers who had been waiting in advance fired a salute.
“Brother Jin!”
“Shuri!”
Jin couldn't help but laugh once more at the loud welcome of his brothers.
Excluding Tantel, 63 ordinary warriors, as well as 12 battle kings and battle god, were waiting for Jin beyond the gate.
Jin first show the courtesy to Vahn.
Vahn still exuded immeasurable dignity, but Jin noticed that she was a little more exhausted than she had been the last time they met.
‘Is it the effect of the blood transfusion given to me during the last training….’
Every time Jin transfused with Vahn’s blood, it was like passing on rare skills(珍技名技) to Jin. Just as Ron handed over his skills to Dante at the last minute.
“I have a lot to tell you, sister Vahn.”
As soon as Shuri saw Vahn, she groaned and dug into her arms. It didn't come out well because she was much bigger, but she missed Vahn’s touch very much after the last time.
Shuri tended to love the touch of transcendent beings like Tess and Vahn.
“It will be. You'll have to stay here for a long time, so today we can talk slowly over a drink.”
“Oh, sister battle god. How did you know Brother Jin would be around for a long time? I was the only one who heard it, so I tried to surprise the brothers.”
“Because it has to be, Brother Tantel. Brother Jin is in a state where he has already accepted the day he will die.”
At Vahn’s answer, the eyes of the other members of the Plutonian tribe widened as if they would pop out.
"Huh! Sister battle god, what do you mean by that!”
“Brother Jin is dying……!”
“Brother Jin, earlier you said you would stay for a long time just because of the training. Is there actually something wrong with your body?”
It wasn't just the Plutonian tribe that was surprised.
‘I thought sister Vahn would recognize at once that there was chaos in my body, but…… a time limit?'
Jin did not feel that his condition was exactly the same as that of Rosa, Kelliark, and others who were tainted by chaos.
Jin felt that demon heart was putting pressure on his inside, but it was nothing compared to what he experienced in Glyek's sub-space.
Of course it could get nasty someday so he came Laprarosa. Using the fact that battle god’s blood resisted chaos as a clue.
Jin was worried but he didn't expect it to be this much.
If only Vahn had a chance to compare Rosa, Kelliark, and Jin. Without thinking, she would have judged that Jin was in the most serious condition.
“One month at the shortest, two months at the longest. If brother Jin had not been came to Laprarosa, he would have become monster and died.”
“…… was I really that serious?”
A heavenly luck.
It was really luck that Jin found Laprarosa at this point without knowing his own condition.
Jin wouldn't have finished organizing outside in a month or two if he had been a little late in finding Qwaul, or if Rosa had changed her mind and interfered with Jin's decision to leave closed training.
The other Plutonian siblings also realized what was wrong with Jin. Beliz, 7th battle king, she grabbed Jin's wrist and looked frightened.
“Gee, these are traces of chaos!”
“A trace of chaos? Aren’t we immune to chaos?”
“Brother Jin is different from us, brother 12th battle king.”
“That’s true, but since he was transfused with the blood of the sister battle god and even has a illuminating heart, he must be immune!?”
“The shape of the stigma…… this is the first chaos that left!"
“Damn it, that’s right, we are not immune to this! The first chaos of all of a sudden? Is it still in the outside world?”
“What the hell did you go through out there!? Have you met the witch? yes?"
The Plutonian tribe screamed frantically with serious expressions.
The king of chaos and the witch Helluram existed even in the era of the Plutonian tribe. At that time, Helluram had no name and was just called the witch.
“Cut your chatter, brothers.”
As Vahn quietly raised her hand, the Plutonian tribe all lowered their heads and closed their mouths.
“Such things only make Brother Jin more anxious. It's not too late, so we just have to get ready and start cleaning.”
It's a calm voice, as if it's not such a big deal.
But Jin couldn't be relieved even after seeing Vahn’s attitude. It was because all the other brothers, who must have known how to ‘purify’, were constantly showing signs of restlessness and concern.
Fortunately, the reason they were worried about Jin was not death.
“Shit…… Let's cheer up, Brother Jin."
“It’s painful, but what can we do? Just like the brother always did, you have to endure it well....”
“I will help with anything.”
“Yes, yes. We will always think of Brother Jin as a brother no matter what state he is in or what he looks like.”
“Even if Brother Jin forgets us, we don't forget him. Yes, no way.”
Jin had already endured the extreme training of the Plutonian twice.
Even so, the Plutonian tribe is convinced that it will be difficult for Jin to endure, so even Jin can't help but feel a little down in his heart.
"Yes? What condition is it, what is it like? What do you mean? Besides, could I forget my brothers?”
“Hey, enjoy today. It will be difficult for you to stay in a good mood for a while.”
Instead of answering Jin's question, the Plutonian tribe lifted him up and walked to the banquet hall.
Vahn laughed at Jin who kept asking questions with an absurd face and the siblings who comforted him.
Naturally, Vahn was also worried about Jin. However, there was only faith that Jin would be able to do well this time too.
