Chaos purification(9)
Jin and Plutonian gathered in front of the chaos that turned into a gate. Vahn showed her anger, but Chaos showed no reaction as if it had really become an object.
“It’s looked like brother Jin seemed to win…… Did it run away?”
“It feels like chaos has become the door itself to see that it ran away. What a rare fellow. Who is not the first chaos?”
Jin, too, could not go in willingly this time.
‘Its thoughts are blocked. It's not that it doesn't talk, it’s completely cut off as soon as it turns into a door.'
The last thing he felt inside the chaos was the fact that this door was its trump card.
“Siblings, I have just been able to read the thoughts of chaos. That's why I was able to deal with its attacks with ease.”
When Jin explained the situation, a sigh flowed from the Plutonians.
“I thought it would be easily solved thanks to the battle god fusion, but it is a mountain beyond the mountain.”
“Still, since Brother Jin regained his strength much faster than I thought, there must be a way. The battle god fusion has not yet been lifted.”
The battle god fusion wasn’t ended even after chaos turned into a door.
Unlike the others, however, Jin and Vahn rather thought it was a problem. It was because Jin did not know when he would lose consciousness, and Vahn was still forcibly passing her energy to Jin.
“Siblings, it seems like it’s time to think about it, so let’s go somewhere else first and talk about it.”
Jin and the Plutonian set up two ordinary warriors as sentries and left the training ground.
‘She is not showing it, but sister Vahn seems a little tired…….’
Battle god Vahn, originally, her energy is bound to be infinite.
However, as she expressed herself, she is long past her prime. She lost some of her strength even at the moment when the Plutonian tribe was destroyed 5000 years ago, and she weakened even after passing her skills to Jin several times.
Therefore, for current Vahn, the battle god fusion was a kind of forced amplification, and it was a somewhat unreasonable act.
The energy was not controlled as desired, and the efficiency of Jin's acceptance of the power was not good.
The other Plutonian tribesmen couldn't even imagine that Vahn could be 'only' that exhausted.
Naturally, the eyes of all the Plutonian focused on Boras.
“Brother 5th battle king, can you guess anything this time?”
“Yes, brother 5th battle king is genius. Is he thinking of something?”
Boras laughed awkwardly and scratched the back of his head.
“Yeah, I don’t really have anything to say. The fact that the battle god fusion, the fact that brother Jin read the thoughts of the chaos, and the fact that the chaos became a door like that...… These are all first-time cases. Let’s watch it for a few days and think about what to do together.”
* * *
It been a week since chaos transformed into door.
Meanwhile, Jin has spent time practicing and participating in various experiments(how door works) with his siblings, but they only knows two things for sure.
The first was that Jin was the only person who could enter the door of chaos, and the second was that the door could not be cut even with a shadow sword.
If anyone other than Jin tried to enter the door, there was a strong backlash.
Most of Jin's lost powers are still bound by Chaos. Like when Chaos was in dragon form, Jin couldn't see it, but he could feel it.
Even when the shadow sword was unleashed, the door became cloudy for a moment like water, but quickly regained its original form.
They didn't even try to hit with the Plutonian’s thunderbolt, fearing that it would hurt Chaos.
The phoenix Tess, who always used to be the solution to conversion at moments like this, could not be summoned. Because Laprarosa is a dead world.
“In the end, Brother Jin has no choice but to go through the door.”
“It seems so, sister battle god. Its last thought that came to me in the first place was that I would no longer have the help of my siblings.”
Stepping into the trap of the unknown is not difficult if you just keep your mind strong.
The problem was that after entering the door, it was highly likely that the Plutonians wouldn’t able help Jin even if an emergency occurred that was difficult for Jin to handle.
In any case, the Plutonian decided to gather in front of the door and wait. Jin had packed a lot of cocktails and water in his rucksack, just like when he was go on a journey.
“Ah, is it really okay to send Brother Jin like this?”
“Brother Jin, it may be difficult to accept, but…… even if you lose some strength, why don't you go with other siblings?"
“It can't be, siblings.”
“Aww, I said something stupid. It's not something I just said without thinking about the loss of Brother Jin.”
“Why do you even explain that, I know everything. Maybe things will work out better than expected inside the door, so don't worry too much. I'll be back.”
“Good luck, brother.”
“Even when you step inside, I hope that sister battle god's power will continue to be with you...….”
The Plutonian tribesmen felt like sending a child to the sea alone. Jin waved his hand at them as if he was okay, but he was also uneasy.
Sook-!
As soon as he took a step beyond the door, the scenery suddenly changed.
'I expected it to some extent, but it's similar to when I entered Glyek’s subspace.'
In the midst of the deformed darkness, only the outline of Jin was clear. Now, this subspace was not very new to Jin.
Do I have to keep moving forward again….
The moment Jin thought that far, he heard a low, gloomy breathing sound from somewhere.
[You come…….]
It was when less than 10 seconds had passed since Jin entered the subspace.
Jin naturally raised his head to find the direction the voice came from, but he had no choice but to immediately curse.
'Crazy!'
It was because he encountered the eyes of chaos.
It was big enough when he was on the training ground, but now it was on a different level. One eye was big enough to overwhelm Jin.
He was so nervous that even his hair stood on end for a moment, but Jin swung Bradamante and cut off the eyes of chaos that looked down on him as if they were about to cover him.
Swoosh-!
It was not the eye, but the feeling of hitting the ancient iron. Rather, it was Jin who received the blow.
{T/L:- 만년철 :- ancient iron (만년:- long years, old age, ancient, 철:- iron). It’s the same metal that’s mine Jin defended while Black Knight killing mission just after becoming flagbearer.}
That once was enough for him to recognize. Jin knew that as of now he could never defeat it.
'Even the battle god fusionhas not been cut off, but there are not even a scar left...…!?’
Jin can't be sure even before he loses his power. The best course of action is to back off. Far from working out better than expected, the situation was more difficult than when he first extracted it.
[Battle god fusion, that's what you call it, right? That monster's power resonates with the remnants of me left in you, so I had quite a bit of trouble.]
It was a more depressing part. At the training ground, Jin unilaterally read the thoughts of chaos, but here it was the opposite. Chaos is clearly looking into the inside of Jin.
He turned around hastily, and the door was nowhere to be seen. Jin almost laughed out loud when he remembered that he had walked through the door and not even taken five steps.
'It's the worst. Even if I count all the cases I've predicted with my siblings, there's nothing worse than this.'
Bang-!
Jin felt dizzy at the blow that seemed to make his body disappear. It was the result of the giant front paw of the invisible chaos hitting Jin sideways.
[A powerful paw swipe that you haven't tasted before! Kkackk.]
The bones and organs of Jin’s whole body were shaken in that one blow, and blood gushed from every pore in his face. If Jin hadn't been protected by his shadow force armor, he would have died instantly.
There was no anger or pain. It was just ridiculous.
'There's no scam like this.'
[Ha! I felt like that. Wasn't it nice when the monsters beat me up? How did you feel?]
"I don't think it's a story worth hearing from the guy who stole all my power."
Jin said calmly, but he frantically shook his head inside.
[Are you thinking about why the door disappeared and how to get out?]
Another powerful forepaw swing, the area was too large to avoid. Even if it was small, it wasn't a speed that could be avoided.
The bounced Jin barely held his consciousness.
Jin never thought he would feel this sense of helplessness as he regained nearly 30% of his strength and spread it out until the day of the fight!
There is no door. If so, he should make it. Fortunately, Jin had similar experiences a few times in the past
Whoa-!
Shadow force wrapped around Bradamante.
[Here, that power doesn't pose much of a threat to me either.]
“Is that so?”
Jin swung Bradamante into the air one step ahead.
Like a lie, the space was torn apart and a way out was formed. Through the gap, he could see Laprarosa's training ground and even his siblings waiting.
'Didn't you read that I used the shadow sword to escape from a space like this?'
Did you not read it, or did you intentionally leave a gap even though you knew it? It wasn't something to worry about right now. After Jin get out, he has to think about the next thing.
Jin, who suddenly threw himself into the crack made by the shadow sword, was burning with more intense fighting spirit than ever, apart from his urgency.
'I'll become stronger and put an end to it, for sure.'
Swoosh-!
Right before Jin could escape the rift, hundreds of black awls suddenly formed in the air and pierced him like a bow. The awls formed by chaos pounded Jin like crazy in that short gap, but it couldn't pierce shadow force armor.
“Heo-eok, hee-huh!”
“Jin, Brother Jin!?”
“You are back already, no! Brother Jin, blood!”
“Brother Boras! Heal Brother Jin right away...…!”
Dump!
The Plutonian tribesmen came running and shouted as soon as Jin collapsed on the floor of the training ground.
Their voices were barely audible to Jin.
Instead, Jin stared at the opening where he escaped as he lay face down until he was about to lose consciousness.
With a blind gaze that will surely retaliate.
'I will kill you…… by all means.'
And Chaos looked at Jin beyond the rift with a firm expression, unlike the one it had shown before, at the rift that was quickly closing as soon as he got out.
When gap was completely closed and the space was filled with the empty, darkness again, and chaos said:
[Hey, come back. You stupid bastard!]
