The all kind of energy flowing from Ghost castle become more powerful as Jin got closer.
Now, it was to the point where not only Jin, but also his comrades and lower-ranking members of the Ghost mercenaries and the Black king mercenary could also felt it.
‘I expected that the energy of Smarion Proch would be strong, but…… Are you saying it was this much?'
‘Will young master be all right alone? It's hard to breathe even from this far away.'
Jin’s comrades looked at his back and thought.
As soon as Jin arrived, they heard that Jin beat Ranke Halovice and made him like a corpse, but the energy that Smarion exudes now is more than that.
Besides, this wasn't all of the energy that Smarion was spreading right now.
‘If it wasn’t for castle protection from Tikan, we would never have been able to handle the Smarion Proch with the power that we came here in the first place…….’
Jin’s comrades became stunned when they confirmed the reality of the power that Smarion had.
If Jin hadn't returned from training at this point, they didn't even want to imagine how many casualties the Vamel Alliance would have suffered.
Jin also swept his heart that he was not late.
'I'm glad that I came right away.'
Either the training progressed further, the red owl was not completed, or Smarion broke the seal sooner. If any of them were out of order, people would surely die.
As Jin approached the edge of the forest, the landscape darkened.
The Ghost Forest, eroded by chaos, looked as barren as the Black Sea, and the towering ghost castle was shaking as if it would explode at any moment.
Jin opened the castle gate without hesitation.
The chaos dwelling in the castle gate stuck to his hand like ashes, but it was quickly washed away by thunderbolts.
Before long, Jin reached the lowest level where the Smarion Proach was waiting.
The huge iron gate that covered the seal was melted into chaos and leaved only traces.
The seal, made by the elders of the Ghost mercenaries with their lives, was already broken as Jin predicted it from the outside.
"Why don't you come out now, Smarion Proch?"
[Yes, you must be Chiron’s blood...….]
Despite never having seen Jin, Smarion was confident.
'Did he has any reason left?'
Jin thought it might be. If only his instincts and demonization were left, Smarion would have no reason to give time to Jin as if you were facing your dream opponent.
However, the remaining consciousness of Smarion was closer to blind hostility than reason. Toward Chiron, and toward the existence that handles the shadows. The aversion to shadow force was common to all chaos.
[You also have unpleasant powers.]
Swoosh...…!
A jet-black hand protruded from the inside of the seal through a crack.
When that hand completely tore the seal, a sharp bust resembling a human scream pierced the ear.
It was the scream of the souls of the elders of the Ghost mercenaries that were contained in the seal. The ghosts were visible in a whitish form, and seemed to be trying to escape somewhere.
Caught in the clutches of Smarion, they became his 'prey'. Smarion devoured the ghosts as if chewing the raw meat of a flying beast.
“Before I draw my sword, I will ask you one thing. I don't think I'll be able to relax while fighting against you."
Jin made eye contact with Smarion. There was not a single human thing visible in his red eyes.
“Outside are your children, Sir Laya Proch, Faye Proch, and my comrades. Do you have any intention of making a choice or cooperation for them?”
[Is there any reason to care about things that don't taste like anything?]
Sigmund and Bradamante made a ghastly friction sound as they came out of the scabbard. Jin's eyes held a bitter light for a few seconds before hardening.
“I'm sorry. I assume you would have thought of them in the slightest if you hadn't been consumed by the chaos.”
As soon as he finished answering, Jin's vision darkened. The chaos, that Smarion had been harboring, exploded.
The explosion that started at the lowest level of the basement destroyed the entire Ghost Castle in the blink of an eye.
An earthquake spread outside, and the waiting personnel widened their eyes and strengthened the protective shields.
It was more than 1500m away from where they were, but the shockwave hitting the shield was just ferocious and fierce.
Jin was directly hit by it from the closest.
Surprisingly Jin, who was seen through the aftermath of the explosion and the wreckage of the broken ghost castle, did not appear to have suffered much damage.
Jin unleashed his shadow sword to offset all the chaos that poured into him.
In the midst of the explosion, Jin's eyes, shining coldly and brightly, followed Smarion's movements. Smarion also confronted Jin with a twin sword formed by chaos.
The ground collapsed. Due to being eroded by chaos for a long time, the Ghost castle could not withstand the slightest shock and disappeared as it was.
The Proch siblings and the ghost mercenaries members did not sigh even after recognizing that the ghost castle was collapsing. They thought it was an insult to Jin who was fighting for them.
The chaos that exploded naturally created a duel arena for the two. The ground dug into a huge semicircle, leaving the bodies of the two in the air for an instant, and before their feet could even touch the ground again, they swung their swords at each other.
Shadow force, chaos, and three black blades were intertwined in a dizzying way.
Every time chaos exploded, the curtain of shadow force offset it, and the cracks in the earth widened without rest due to the shockwave that spread whenever the swords collided.
Destruction was unbelievable for the result of just two people in just a few seconds.
“Battle begins, we are entering too, prepare to open the jammer!”
At Cuicantelle’s command, the Vamel Alliance headed to the battlefield in perfect order.
They couldn't get in quickly. It was because shadow force, chaos, aura, mana, and thunderbolts were blowing like a storm.
[I have been waiting for someone like you. The same kind as Chiron Runcandel...…! I will devour you and go find him.]
Boom...…!
An endless stream of chaos hit the ground and distorted space.
If left alone, Smarion won’t tired even after wiping the area off the map. The size of his pure power clearly exceeded Jin's.
'As expected, even if consciousness remains, in the end he is just demonic murderer.'
What makes a martial artist strong is not the total amount of strength, but the enlightenment of level and martial arts gained through struggle.
And Smarion forgot most of the enlightenment that he had gained in his time as a human.
Bang-!
Jin blocked Smarion's twin swords, which had fallen like lightning. The twin swords created by chaos broke and scratched Smarion's neck.
The fragments of the broken twin swords changed like Kaio’s scatter and attacked Jin.
One of them grazed Jin's cheek, but in the gap, Jin cut Smarion's chest. Black blood splattered, and Smarion spread black chaos as he increased the distance.
Hundreds of chaos falling in the form of spheres tore through the shadow force and aura shields.
Chaos that broke through it and went out of the battlefield hit the whole forest. It was around the time when Jin’s comrades entered the battlefield and saw Jin and Smarion fighting for the first time.
'Is that the lord?'
‘This huge power is not giving the lord a proper blow……!’
On the way, it was mostly Smarion's power, not Jin's, that made their entry difficult. Because of this, Jin’s comrades thought that Jin might be pushed back.
But it wasn't like that at all.
If a ship existed in the world that could not be shaken even in the face of raging waves and tidal waves, it would look like that. The sight of Jin defending the center while countering Smarion's energy.
The class is different. At that point, Jin’s comrades were able to feel the fact that he had risen to the ranks of transcendence beyond 10-stars.
Just looking at Jin's back, which began to look like a single dot in the distance, felt like a giant who was standing right in front of their nose.
The opponent is the highest level of chaos infected and arguably the strongest ghost leader of all time.
Despite competing with such a legendary being, even though it was Smarion who was taking over the space with overwhelming power, Jin’s comrades didn't feel like they were going to get tired.
In reality, Jin's task is not to fight for victory. The key is how much external damage can be minimized. That was it. The match was already decided the moment the swords were drawn. The only thing that matters is getting the maximum result with the minimum damage.
That's why Jin asked before the fight started.
You can never beat me, so why don't you stop?
“Deploy the jammer!”
As Cuicantelle shouted, more than five hundred blue rods shot up into the air. The jammers floated in a circle and connected by mana, and the next moment the phenomenon occurred that blocked the aura of the two people, who had been shaking the battlefield the whole time.
‘There is no need to doubt Dr. Qwaul’s stuff. If this works for me as well, it will be no different from rat poison to the martial artist below me.'
Of course, this was only possible because five hundred jammers were concentrated on just two people at once. The size of the energy released by Jin and Smarion has been significantly reduced, and the speed at which forests and lands are destroyed has also slowed.
Smarion tried to intensify the chaos even more, but Jin raised his senses by parrying his attacks.
The sense of operating the aura.
'But even five hundred would be far from enough to hinder the operation of the aura of those who transcended.'
A far greater aura than before the jammer opened, was forming in Jin's illuminating heart. It was something that Smarion, soaked in demonic power, could never do.
'Anyway, for now it’s easier to protect my comrades.'

Guardian Brethren
As Jin's illuminating heart emitted a radiance, thunderbolts rained down on the heads of Jin’s comrades. Instead of striking a blow, the thunderbolt turned into a protective shield that protected the target.
All of the forces of the Vamel Alliance nearby were protected by the guardian brethren.
Smarion's chaos, which had passed through the Aura Shield and the Dragon fire blocking curtains, could not break through the dense blue shield.
Jin fixed his gaze on Smarion, holding Bradamante again.
"Now you can't kill anyone, Smarion Proch."
