He also must have been a knight born from chaos, the power of Prophet.
However, he was different from the other knights in appearance. Instead of the muddy black feeling unique to chaos, what dyed his whole body was a soft indigo color.
Even the pupils do not harbor the ferocity of a beast thirsting for blood. The deep and heavy gaze of the martial artist who had reached the peak was staring at Jin.
Strong. To the extent that there was no need to check him by mixing swords.
Jin carefully examined him and searched for his memory. He remembered a description of a previous patriarch of clan that he read in the storm castle library.
The former patriarch of Runcandel, who was called the 'Lion King' because of his long hair that stretched out in all directions like the mane of a beast.
Lionel Runcandel, that was the name of the man who came from the mausoleum.
“The youngest child of Runcandel meets the sixth patriarch of the clan.”
Jin showed courtesy to Lionel with a calm attitude.
[Oh, you recognize me. I heard that very little is left about me. I’m so proud of you.]
Almost all of the records about him remained in the storm castle Library. Since his era was not long after Runcandel was defeated by Zipfel, so most of the records about him have been wiped out.
“Since you said you were proud, would you accept my question as a reward?"
[What is it?]
“Unlike other chaos, you seem to have clear reason and will, ancestor. If that's the case, you wouldn't consider the sight of clan very beautiful right now. Which side did you punish with that dead body?”
[Haha! If I don’t take your side, then I should run right away.]
“Please answer me.”
[I am just a ghost subordinate to the summoner. So my job is to punish you. You're asking the obvious. Well, in my opinion, Rosa's judgment isn't that bad.]
“Then I can no longer respect you, Lionel. From now on, even if you face the shame of being cut by the sword of your descendants, please accept it humbly...….”
[This is a very good spirit.]
The blue flames in Jin's eyes sharpened.
At the same time, Lionel cut through the air with a longsword formed by chaos.
Suaaaaaa...…!
Lionel's lightly swung blow distorted the space and released swordsmanship that had reached the realm of swordmaster.
The nearby chaos knights were swept away by the force and repulsion generated by his swordsmanship.
Lionel had no interest in their safety. With the exception of Temar, the current patriarch of Runcandel is undoubtedly the strongest of all time. Lionel was full of thoughts that he had to kill the descendant who was obviously the child who resembled Chiron the most.
While Lionel's sword strikes Jin. Stam was shocked as he aimed at Jin's rear.
‘Even with his back turned completely…… I don't see any gaps.'
Stam couldn’t recklessly extend his sword against Jin who showed his back. He was convinced that even if he rushed, the result would be a meaningless battle.
The 12th flagbearer of the clan, whom he saved just a few years ago, is revealing the dignity of an absolute martial artist.
Even Jin casually...…. ‘teared’ Lionel’s sword blows. Not even with a sword, but with bare hands.
“I thought you would give me first chance of attack, but it’s embarrassing.”
Swoosh.
Jin was looking up at Lionel, who was taller than him, but Lionel felt that his gaze had started from a higher place.
[Even though I've lived in arrogance my whole life, I'm not so insensitive as to allow that to you.]
Lionel was not taken aback when he saw his swordsmanship converging into Jin's grasp and disappearing.
He immediately acknowledged the fact that Jin is stronger than himself.
[Small fries, get out of the way. Even standing there wouldn't be as much of a threat to him as the air.]
Ran, Vigo, Myu, Anne.
Those four were the ones whom Lionel referred to as the small fries. They were chaos knights, and they were looking for an opportunity to attack Jin all the time.
“You can’t do that, Lionel. My mother's orders take precedence.”
[Rosa couldn't have told you to kill him. Can't you tell difference between heaven and earth? If you don't want to waste your lives, do as you please.]
Siah-!
This time, Lionel closed the distance first. The air exploded at the speed of his rush and created shockwaves everywhere, and Jin swung Bradamante in response.
In terms of strength, Lionel had the upper hand. Jin bounced backwards the instant swords struck, and it was only then that Stam saw a gap through which he could penetrate for the first time.
A small crack spread across Multa's rune and on the chest of the Shadow force Armor. If Jin hadn't avoided it, Stam’s swords would have pierced his armor and pierced his necks and heart.
Although Jin's sword touched Lionel's chest and Stam's armor, it was clear that Jin was being pushed back in the composition of the first fight.
The three swords, colliding several times in a second, made a roar and vibration like a mountain or fortress collapsing.
The swords of the clan’s guardians stuck in the garden were being erased in the aftermath of the battle of the superhumans.
The rusty and shiny swords, which retained history and pride, were breaking. It was only one person in this garden who was heartbreaking to see the scene.
[You are strong. Truly amazingly strong! Can't you stand on your mother's side now and fight? With your and Rosa's strength, you'll be able to hold the world in your own two hands!]
“Lionel, you introduced yourself to me as just a ghost subordinate to the summoner.”
Jin pushed Stam away and received Lionel's diagonal slash.
“The same goes for me. I, too, am a human subordinate to clan’s values. No matter how comfortable the road is, no matter how sweet the temptation. I just can't ignore its value...… struggle. That terrible thing.”
[I was so sorry that I said something stupid for no reason. By the way, surviving is the root of the struggle. Your mother fulfills it more faithfully than anyone else.]
“I admit it. If Rosa Runcandel had belonged to another clan rather than Runcandel, I would have rated her as a great person.”
Psu!
A pale stream of blood gushed from Lionel's right cheek. He didn't recognize the moment Jin's sword passed his face. It was the first time in his life that he completely missed an opponent's sword during a battle.
'If I hadn't reacted subconsciously, it would have almost ended.'
But Lionel wasn't even that surprised. He only realized once more that he was dealing with an unprecedentedly strong enemy that he had never met even while alive.
Fear and joy were coldly coloring Lionel's back. Stam was overcome with a similar sensation.
[Even though you have the power to be an absolute ruler in your era, you still have the dream of a child. That would be the reason why you die here today.]
Jin didn't answer and swung his sword again.
Still, Lionel and Stam were ahead in terms of pure power. The speed at which the scars on Multa's runes and armor increased as time went by.
Jin’s breathing was also quickening. On the other hand, Lionel and Stam's swords gradually became a perfect match.
When Lionel entered and created a opening, Stam's sword stabbed and cut through the armor without exception.
Blood flowed between the helmet.
'As expected, it is impossible to deal with two people in this state.'
Just hang in there a little longer. Although Jin did not lose his composure throughout, he was clearly on the defensive.
Lionel shows no signs of getting tired even though he lashes out in decisive killing moves, and Stam controls the flow of the battle as if he had combined characteristics of Yona and Luna.
Stam was surprisingly quiet when poking at openings, and it was overwhelmingly heavy when attacked.
Because of this, Jin came to conclusion that Stam is more difficult opponent than Lionel.
'On top of that, I'm sure the two of them have saved some moves.'
Same goes for Jin. However, Jin continued to be conscious of variables that he could never handle. It would be a waste to bring out the trump cards now.
‘The energy of chaos beating the flames is fading little by little. If that continues like this, the time I have to hold out without drawing another card...….’
About 5 minutes. As long as he endured that, it would be okay to retrieve the power of the flames of hell that was protecting the escaping knights.
That's why Jin has lost power battles to Lionel and Stam.
'Until then, it's hard to tell whether I can withstand the attacks of the two with pure swordsmanship...….’
The moment Jin thought about it. He could feel that energy of chaos suddenly weakened that pushing the flames of hell.
The fact that someone's aura from far away began to push the chaos in earnest.
Jorden Runcandel.
He began to release the power that he had stored under the protection of flames of hell.
Gaaaaaa...…!
Tess, who was protecting the knights from above, let out a roar. It was a signal that they were leaving the Garden of Swords and heading towards Kalon.
Jin smiled unconsciously.
'Okay.'
The flames of hell that had filled the Garden of Swords disappeared at once.
At the same time, Lionel and Stam distanced themselves. It was because they recognized that Jin's energy had changed as soon as the flames disappeared.
However, the fire didn't disappear, it just returned to Jin. The fire that ended up on Jin, dyed him blue again.
When Multa's runes and shadow force armor were released, Jin's body, which was revealed, perfectly reproduced the flame emperor.
[T/L:- In Sarah’s case it should be Flame empress, I think I had used emperor for her also.]
‘Are you saying that the flames of hell that has been unfolding against us so far has been half……!?’
For Lionel and Stam. It was completely unexpected. They knew that the flames was protecting the knights, but they couldn't believe that it couldn't exert its full power because of it.
It's not because their insight was lacking. No one would have guessed that the transcendent fire that had pushed back the chaos of the entire Garden of Swords all along was only half the force.
“Lionel, I think I should tell you one thing before I finish it.”
Lionel's wide eyes were shaking in awe. As a descendant who was blessed to witness the legend of the Flame Empress, Sarah Runcandel.
“Unlike you, Lady Sarah fought for Runcandel for a thousand years even after death. Even though her whole body is broken and her mind is more devastated than that...… During all those years, she never compromised on anything.”
Can you say that her thousand years of struggle and determination, which she cherished, are also like a child’s dream?
Lionel couldn't choose an answer to Jin's words that followed.
“You can’t answer. That is why you die one more time here today.”
Bradamante was rushing towards Lionel and Stam. Just as the blade of a guillotine falls to punish traitors.
He also must have been a knight born from chaos, the power of Prophet.
However, he was different from the other knights in appearance. Instead of the muddy black feeling unique to chaos, what dyed his whole body was a soft indigo color.
