"What…… what on earth can you restore?”
The Garden of Swords in Jin's memories and the Garden of Swords that is now unfolding before his eyes. The only thing the two had in common was the thousands of swords stuck in the middle of the garden.
All of the visible knights were engulfed in chaos, and Rosa, in particular, was not going to healed with the chaos purifier that he brought from Laprarosa.
A single black horn grew from Rosa's forehead. It seemed that she had no intention of hiding it, and even if she want to, she seemed unable to hide it.
Besides, the buildings are only thing that’s same as before. From the moment Jin first came to the Garden of Swords. No, from the moment he entered Kalon, he felt a strong energy of chaos hidden throughout the city.
Ha…….
Jin sighed and rubbed his forehead.
“…… Are you saying you can turn back time? Or Ilina Runcandel standing next to you, no. Does the Prophet have something else?”
“I can't restore something that has already happened. However, if you keep your promise, I will immediately made you the patriarch, and from now on, Runcandel will rely on you to survive, not on a prophet.”
I will make you patriarch.
The words that Jin had wanted to hear so much in previous life were hitting his head. Of course, he wasn't happy at all. He was sick of this disgusting sensation, as if worms were infesting his brain.
"Haha…….”
Unknowingly, a hollow laugh escaped from his mouth.
“Since when have you been in a position to select the patriarch? Chiron Runcandel, the patriarch of Runcandel, the owner of Barisada, and my father. Of course all of this must have been carried out without his permission. Under your own discretion!”
Of course, Rosa hinted that she would make Jin the patriarch even before joining hands with the Prophet. However, Jin thought that Rosa would no longer interfere with him becoming the next patriarch, but did not expect this kind of succession.
He could only inherit Barisada directly from Chiron.
“So, what is your answer? Did you get the means to save the clan from this troubled world or not?”
“Whatever I have gained, neither you nor your Runcandel can benefit from it.”
"Then…… there is no other choice for me.”
I have no choice but to kill you.
Rosa's eyes narrowed. She had no intention of placating Jin. It's not because it's not worth it. Now that she's decided she must kill Jin, she's suppressing her pain more than ever before.
But she can't catch it. She knew her youngest son was by no means a man of compromise. He never gives in under any circumstances, and yet he's never broken...….
Rosa knew better than anyone else that such a shining man is Jin Runcandel, her own youngest son.
“I will ask you one last question.”
Rosa thought Jin would ask about Temar and Hister. But even that was beyond Rosa's expectations.
“Was this really for the best?”
"Yes."
"Then I don't need to talk to you any more."
Jin's gaze reached the knights standing behind Rosa.
“What did the knights of clan had done when the Garden of Swords get to this point? Were you just watching Rosa Runcandel colluding with Chaos?"
“It's a little too much to listen, Jin Runcandel. All you've done so far is ruin the fate of Runcandel. Besides, what about Chiron Runcandel? He was away from home this whole time. What is the result? Did you and he find a way to save the clan?”
Jin didn't pay attention to Ilina, who opened her mouth for the first time.
“If it wasn't for Madame Rosa's choice, Runcandel would have been over before the irresponsible Chiron Runcandel and you returned. Well, in some ways, this also feels like the fulfilment of fate, doesn't it? As a result, Runcandel has become incomparably stronger than before...….”
At that time, a group of knights appeared far away from the main house. They were knights trapped underground. Everyone was tired and weak, but thanks to Stam's consideration, they were armed with clean armor and swords.
A weak energy of chaos was felt from them. However, they were full of traces of resistance unlike others who were completely engulfed.
‘They are…… the people who finally resisted the chaos and tried to protect the clan’s values.’
It is worthwhile to save them all and return. But that was an impossible things.
They knew that too. Because of this, the Tona brothers shouted and said to Jin.
“Jin, the youngest……! Don't mind us, do what you're about to do!”
“It's an honor for me to be able to die fighting alongside you again as Runcandel……!”
The Tona brothers, who had tormented Jin so much in previous life and who often showed subservience to the strong in their present lives, had become Runcandels in no time.
“Releasing them now is Madame Rosa's last consideration for you and them. Make the last of it with the losers, Jin Runcandel. Even if you die, the power you have will be used for Runcandel, so it won't be such a bad ending.”
“Listen the knights of my clan.”
Jin looked at the knights who came up from the underground. They were the only clan knights.
“I salute you for your painful resistance. So, what you have to do from now on is to survive. I will open the way.”
The Tona brothers and the knights nodded heavily.
“From now on, I will define Rosa Runcandel and her followers as traitors, and as the 12th flagbearer of the clan...… I will punish them.”
“As of the present time…… I will disqualify you as a flagbearer, Jin Runcandel.”
Jin and Rosa said at the same time. As if they had promised, all the knights in the garden except for the two drew their swords.
And everyone was remembering an incident that happened in the Garden of Swords a few years ago.
-I think the meaning of the declaration that I made today will only become stronger if I get rid of the seat of honor where my mother sits.
-[Everyone look carefully with your eyes wide open...… what is the real Runcandel and what has been protecting Runcandel, and. What the current Runcandel is forgetting.]
Patriarch declaration.
Blue fire lit up in Jin's eyes.
Runcandel Magic Sword Secret technique
Flames of hell - Sarah Runcandel
Blue flames formed in Jin's eyes. The will of the Flame Emperor, who fought for the clan until the very end and kept the value of Runcandel for a thousand years even after death, was manifesting through Jin.
Those stained with chaos had no choice but to flinch in front of the blue flames. The energy of chaos was completely paralyzing their inside.
They were paralysed until Jin unleashed flames of hell. And a huge fear that could not be concealed even with the energy of chaos, an immeasurably overwhelming presence pounded on the rotten minds of the knights.
“Stop him!”
As Myu and Anne stepped forward, knights stained in chaos followed them. Among them, there were also knights wearing black helmets.
Black Knight, a black helmet that was once only given to the most honorable and strong people in Runcandel.
Even at a rough estimate, the number of knights wearing black helmets in the garden was close to fifty.
However, Jin did not feel particularly threatened even though he was surrounded by so many black knights.
Not everyone who wears a black helmet is a real black knight, and even if their strength reaches 10-stars, not everyone becomes a transcendent martial artist.
“You guys are nothing.”
Hundreds of sword aura were pouring down on Jin. Even a mountain can be destroyed in an instant. No one other than the giant forces would be able to withstand the sword aura that they poured out in just a few seconds.
Even so, their swords couldn't pierce even the outermost part of the blue flame unleashed by Jin. It was being erased without a trace before it even reaching the fire.
It wasn't just the Plutonian swordsmanship and the Shadow Sword that Jin trained at Laprarosa. Right now, he was also close to completing the Runcandel magic sword.
Anyone who has seen Sarah Runcandel even once would have recognized that it was she who stood here.
A fire that burns the whole world, a fire that fights to the end without being extinguished in the face of any mighty enemy. Its eyes were wide open to punish the traitors in chaos.
Gaaaa...…!
Tess, who had just been summoned, let out a roar.
It was not manifested with the risk of using chaos as a medium, as in the Sword emperor castle war. Tess was summoned purely through Jin's mana, and rather had a stronger blue flame color than at that time. And at the same time as Tess appeared, Jin swung his sword at the traitors once.
About a hundred knights, including five knights who became black knights due to the power of chaos, were burned, and their entire bodies melted and they could not even scream.
However, even if the body melted, the core of chaos remained like that of a living golem. The cores were returning to the Prophet as if being sucked into a vortex.
Jin grabbed one of the cores of chaos that was being dragged by the Prophet. Chaos burrowed into Jin's grip like a parasite and tried to eat him, but it exploded as soon as Jin clenched his fist.
For the first time, the Prophet showed a sign of hesitation.
‘Is he immune to chaos!? Like the old Plutonian tribe...…!’
That was completely unexpected for the Prophet.
There was a contrast between Jin wrapped in the flames of the old Runcandel and the knights stained with chaos. And as Jin said, the flames of hell were making a way for those released from the underground.
“Ilina Runcandel.”
“Yes, Madame Rosa.”
“Show your skills. There should be no way for that child to get out alive from here today."
At Rosa's command, Ilina bowed her head.
"All right. Then, will you allow me to open the Garden of Swords?”
“I will allow it.”
The Prophet was just happy. By any chance, if Rosa saw Jin and change her decision by breaking the contract with her, she would have no choice but to go around her path for a long time.
“I will recreate the nightmare of that day, you rotten ones. If not today, tomorrow, if not tomorrow, forever. In the end, not a single one of you will survive.”
The moment Jin said that.
The sun disappeared and the area was dyed black all of a sudden.
"What…… what on earth can you restore?”
The Garden of Swords in Jin's memories and the Garden of Swords that is now unfolding before his eyes. The only thing the two had in common was the thousands of swords stuck in the middle of the garden.
