Even after opening the Plutonian reign sword, Jin did not burn out immediately like before.
It is the result of Jin growing up through the enlightenment that he gained from going back and forth between life and death situations several times in the sword emperor castle war and the sense of Vahn that he gained through battle god fusion.
Jin defeated the 12th battle King of the Plutonian tribe at once, and did not even use the newly learned shadow sword ultimate technique.
However, Jin was not satisfied at all. He experienced apex of martial arts, so it was difficult to feel inspiration even after achieving great achievements.
Even after the first battle of the Great War of battle kings ended, Jin continued to have a fierce face like someone who had gone crazy.
The only moment when his eyes became clear was at the time of the other battle kings' fights proceeded. At that time, Jin is focusing his mind on analyzing the progress.
Instead, after the battle, he wandered around Laprarosa like a ghost with blank eyes again.
“I’m worried that Brother Jin might really loose his mind at this rate.”
Pong! Tantel uncorked a bottle of jewel liquor and sat down next to Jin.
Jin climbed up the spire near the Hall of battle god and looked up at the sky.
“Oh, Brother Tantel. You are here?"
“You didn’t even know I was here?”
“What did you just say?”
"Oh. What the hell's wrong with you, explain it to me."
If you are worried, you are worried.
Also, it's a worry of being full. Jin feels his own martial arts insignificant because of experiencing the sense of battle god.
“Even though I was full, it’s too much.”
Upon hearing the circumstances, Tantel shook his head.
“If you think about the age of the brother Jin, there is huge difference between us. However, just a few moments ago, you defeated 12th battle king of the Plutonian. Although brother 12th battle king is the weakest of them all, he is clearly a battle king.”
The fact that Jin defeated Teto meant that he had the qualifications to become the battle king of Plutonian.
"I know."
Jin knew better than anyone else.
However, this training was the last chance before the inevitable great war between the great forces. The stronger Jin got, the more impatient he became.
He wonders if he will be able to protect his family and his friends from his enemies when he returns.
As Tantel said, the skills and power that he had already achieved for his age were great, but his enemies were clearly bigger than himself.
If Jin can take out his siblings right away in human world, he will be able to change the game in an instant, but that's something he don't know when.
“Be careful if you know, Brother Jin. Read the mood.”
"Mood?"
“Don’t you feel jealously?”
“My brothers are jealous of me?”
“Ha, why is that?”
Jin has received all sorts of privileges from Laprarosa. Before he became a brother, he had already mastered the Plutonian swordsmanship and had even been transfused with battle god blood.
“Of course, since Brother Jin has become our brother, all the achievements that brother has made are our pride. But, the other siblings are people too. Brother Teto trained for more than a hundred years before becoming the Battle King, and there are many siblings who worked even harder than that and never became the Battle king.”
It was a problem that Jin hadn't thought of. After being recognized as a brother, Jin has always been loved by the Plutonian. His siblings always scrambled to help Jin, tried to be the first to eat his achievements, and were proud of themselves when they were summoned by the dark light call as if it was the blessing of life.
It was difficult for Jin to imagine that such siblings would be jealous now.
“…… I feel sorry for them.”
“Well, you don’t have to feel sorry for everyone. Not to mention jealousy, there are many siblings who only think of it as admiration. I am also thinking that way.”
As soon as Jin accepted and drank the jewel liquor that Tantel handed him, Jin felt sick to his stomach.
“This Great War of Battle Kings is the only opportunity for everyone to express their envy and jealousy. Even though it takes the form of a battle with the no-kill rule, all the siblings involved are really putting their lives and hearts into it.”
Hearing Tantel's words made Jin’s face heat up and his chest tighten. It's a shame.
“So, brother wake up a little more and fight. When the Great War of battle kings is over, no matter what the outcome and process were, everyone will definitely care for Brother Jin as before...… Never forget that your siblings are all person too. If there is even a little sediment left, it will fester someday.”
Jin meets Tantel's eyes. Suddenly, after the battle with Teto was over, Jin remembered the image of the battle kings who were intent on killing him.
“Thank you, Brother Tantel. Thanks to you, my mind is cleared. By the way, what is that paper?”
“Oh, this is nothing. Nothing."
Jin hurriedly grabbed Tantel's wrist that hide the paper. This was written on the paper.
7th battle
Hell's Great Sword Emperor, 8th battle King, brother Garmund vs Inheritor of the storm, brother Jin.
Odds 1.5 : 7
Who will be the winner?
“…… gambling?"
“It is just simple entertainment. We are betting jewel liquor stock. It is a secret to sister battle god!”
Come to think of it, it seemed like Jin had recently seen Tantel carrying jewel liquor stocks.
Tantel was betting on Jin during the First War.
"You don't really think sister battle god doesn't know that."
“Anyway, you must win, Brother Jin! I bet all my jewel wine, and if you win this time, I will never have to worry about drinking!”
Watching Tantel disappear as if running away, Jin let out a smirk.
* * *
The next day, the main hall floating in the sky was once again enveloped in blue thunderbolts.
“I will start the 7th war.”
Jin and Garmund.
As the two faced each other, the thunderstorm subsided.
Jin had judged Garmund to have high level of skill among the battle Kings of the Plutonian.
'It may be lower than that, but anyway, it's definitely different from the brother Teto.'
Originally, Jin can't win. However, Garmund's physical condition was not perfect. Unlike Jin, who had been resting since the battle with Teto, Garmund had a fierce battle with ordinary warriors who had challenged as a group this morning.
He wasn't seriously injured, but he looked a little tired.
“Did you underestimate me, Brother Garmund?”
“Think freely. The outcome is fixed anyway.”
Garmund didn't show his usual open-minded expression at all. It was filled with a determined will to simply crush the opponent.
Whoo-!
As soon as Vahn backed away, Garmund's greatsword fell right in front of Jin. When he blocked it, the impact felt as if his entire body would be crushed by the blade.
And Jin unwittingly used the aura to dissipate the shock to the outside, and Garmund had no choice but to narrow his eyebrows.
'It’s that sense!'
A sense of battle god.
It was difficult for the previous Jin to dissipate the shock that should have led to internal injuries so easily.
The training that has been trying to awaken the senses of the Vahn has begun to shine in earnest.
Not only that, but the memory of receiving Garmund's sword in a state of battle god fusion during the opening battle came to mind clearly.
'Brother Garmund is slow.'
Of course, in a relative sense. He possessed the brute strength to wield a greatsword like a dagger, easily exceeding the weight of several strong men, and left afterimages whenever he stepped on his steps properly, but he could never be said to be agile compared to other battle kings.
Instead, Garmund replaced the gap caused by his falling speed with his destructive power in battles against opponents of his equal level. It was Garmund's method to sprinkle explosive thunderbolts and aura in every gap created by the lack of speed.
'If I destroy that part, I can gain an advantage over the brother Garmund in at least one aspect.'
It was already destroyed in the first exchange. All Jin has to do is to dissipate the shock transmitted through his body to the outside and dig in.
When Jin immediately executed it, Garmund had no choice but to react urgently. It was as if something that hadn't been in mind happened at the same time as the battle began.
'Ha! Having tasted the sensations of sister battle god, does that mean that he has already developed his physical skills to this extent? I shouldn’t have accepted the challenge of ordinary warriors in the morning.'
Of course, Garmund did not openly show his embarrassment or panic. He devised a new tactic, skilfully pushing Jin away from his weakness.
'I'll have to cheat. It will be over in one go.'
Garmund expected that Jin would unleash the Plutonian reigning sword. Digging is doing it while dispersing the shock well, but Jin couldn't do more than that.
Therefore, a decisive blow is needed, so a sword with such destructive power must be unleashed.
Plutonian Reign Sword, flames of hell, or Shadow Sword Ultimate Technique.
As far as Garmund knew, those three were Jin's strongest swords.
‘Flames of hell cannot exert its power without Tess, and Brother Jin want to keep the shadow Sword ultimate technique as a trump card.’
All that remains is the Plutonian Reign Sword.
‘You must have been more confident. I experienced firsthand how brother Teto suffered without using his moves properly.'
Garmund had the confidence to attack Jin's current Plutonian’s reign sword head-on and break it.
No, he is sure, not himself. The battle king moves that he possessed clearly surpassed the power of Jin’s Plutonian reign sword.
As expected, thunderbolts was gathering in Jin's illuminating heart.
‘Now, when the brother Jin unleash the Plutonian reigning sword, I must break it down with the battle king move at once and cause a backflow reaction…….’
Garmund seized the opportunity like that.
Even while the battle continued for more than 30 minutes, there was no sign that the lightning gathered in Jin's illuminating heart would be replaced by a mysterious intention.
“Oh, you know all about me, right?”
Garmund realized it belatedly, and Jin smiled.
“There will be no sibling who cannot read the thoughts of Brother Garmund. It is always written all over brother’s face.”
“Then there is nothing I can do. I have no choice but to go first!”
Even if the his moves were read, it didn't matter. It was only a consideration to make Jin hurt as little as possible by leading and ending with backflow.
Swoosh-!
Garmund's energy began to gather into one point.
Even at a glance, the greatsword was surrounded by energy that was enough to defeat Jin with a single sword move.
"You can't able to handle this sword anyway."
But unfortunately, there was one more thing that Garmund couldn't calculate.
Garmund was about to unleash his move, but he did not realised that Jin, who had increased his speed even more, dug into his blind spot.
He didn't expect that Jin's physical skills and swift footwork, which had offset his destructive power, could become even faster there.
‘He could have moved faster than that!? While piercing my aura...…!’
He felt the tip of Sigmund's blade on the back of his neck.
“It is over, Brother Garmund.”
Garmund shrugged his shoulders and let go of the energy that had gathered in his greatsword.
"Damn it, I didn't know it would be so futile."
[Yeah, what if another battle king lose to that nasty guy again? You guys weren't like this when you pressed me!]
Lingling helped with a word, and Vahn stopped the battle, announcing Jin's victory in a low voice.
‘If Brother Garmund had deepened his thoughts just a little, I would surely have lost. It's good, I didn't expect to win like this again after Brother Teto...….’
The moment Jin thought that far.
A member of the Plutonian who was watching screamed.
“Damn it! Everyone is playing around. Brother 12th battle King and 8th battle king can you still say that the you are the great battle kings of the Plutonian tribe?”
