Padler swung his sword instead of answering.
Along with the blade, blue lightning poured from behind it like a storm. It was as if a sea of lightning spread from Padler out of nowhere.
Kaio swiftly fired a series of arrows to counteract the crowd of blue thunderbolts. The space tinged with chaos was illuminated with mixed blue energies.
“Looking at it again, it seems that he is not a descendant, but his ghost. Was your name Padler Runcandel?”
[I don’t use that last name anymore.]
Padler rushed through the thunderbolts. Kaio calmly distanced himself, and Jin burrowed into their center, stopping Padler from pursuing him.
The sword that stood in the way of Silus was Sigmund, not Bradamante. After changing the sword, Jin's whole body was filled with lightning energy.
Thunderbolts based on aura, thunderbolts based on mana.
Even though the thunderbolts emitted by the three people were completely different, they looked exactly the same.
“I don't know why he became a ghost, but his killing intent is too strong. Although my memories of Temar aren't quite complete, he seems to care very much about you.”
[I also forgot a lot. However, I don't think I've heard that Plutonian tribesmen talk so much. Why you need a long talk? You just need to face my weapon.]
Rapid and accurate. If you could sum up the Padler's sword in two words, that would be it.
The only downside of his swordsmanship that reached the realm of transcendence was its destructive power, but even that was overcome by the addition of thunderbolts.
Kaio fought at mid-to-long range, and Jin fought at close range.
Because of this, Jin and Padler both fought while conscious of Kaio. Padler was convinced that he could attack Jin only when Kaio was defeated, and Jin thought that the next step would be when Kaio was safe.
It was because the battle with Padler was not the last.
'I have to finished it before Kaio gets tired.'
'I need to quickly kill that Plutonian named Kaio in order to deal with Jin.'
They didn’t need to check each other’s strength.
The three of them were showing their strength from the start.
The ground and sky screamed every time when blades, arrows, and thunderbolts collided as if they were turning upside down.
As if the sun was rising over the rotten sea, the thunderbolts of the three was tearing apart the chaos in the Garden of Swords.
This is not a battle between the ancestor of a thousand years ago and the latest descendant...… it’s looks like a brilliant light that purifies the clan. It couldn't have been any better.
The inevitable reality scratched Jin's inside. That fact made Jin suffer even more than the blue lightning stabbing his whole body.
Since Padler is a person from a thousand years ago, Jin has never had any kind of communication with him. As an observer, Jin only peeked at a few of his records.
Still, it felt like cutting a close friend with whom he had been very close until yesterday, with whom he had a deep connection.
[Kaaaa!]
Padler didn’t feel such pain. It is certainly true that he said that he had no personal feelings for Jin before mixing the swords. However, he didn’t see Jin as distant descendant in the first place, but as an alter ego of Temar, the Runcandel of those days.
You lose everything too.
Padler's dark eyes said so.
“Brother Jin!”
Blood spurted from Jin's neck. Multa's rune is now completely broken and has no function.
Even if it was fine, it would not have any meaning against one of the old ten great knights.
The wound is not deep. But even a little deeper would have led to death. It wasn't until that moment, when Jin saw the droplets of blood scattered in the air, that he realized that unnecessary emotions while fighting resided within him.
Sympathy, pity, debt, or complex emotions that are difficult to explain. Padler is not an opponent that can be faced with such a mindset.
It's not just about doing your best, it's about having the tenacity to kill him.
Jin knew better than anyone else.
Even though Jin’s body is beyond human, but not his mind. Whether Padler's words are true or not, there is no doubt that he gave his all for the old Runcandel.
But, as Padler said, the heart that belonged once was disappeared and can’t be replaced.
He cannot defend him, whose heart that once protected the clan has become of a ghost.
Jin can understand this situation as much as he want if it was in normal circumstances. But now Jin was facing Padler as the next patriarch of Runcandel.
Whatever the reason, it was unacceptable to have a carefree mind towards someone who wanted to destroy the clan.
“I would like to ask you one last question, Sir Padler. Do you have any intention of stopping now?”
[Not at all.]
“Then I will punish you, not as a descendant of Temar, but as a member of current Runcandel.”
Jin closed his eyes once. The moment his eyelids closed, his emotions toward the Padler also stopped.
Before he opened his eyes again, Padler was unleashing his magic sword that he had created.
Ultimate Blue Thunder Sword, Runcandel Magic Sword Secret technique
Thunder of hell - Padler Runcandel
A magic sword secret technique paired with Flame Empress Sarah Runcandel's flames of hell.
At a glance, Jin and Kaio could think of the sword that was the basis of this technique.
The flames of hell and thunder of hell were finally completed after Temar taught the ten great knights how to use the Plutonian swordsmanship.
Kaio's eyes hardened.
“You seem to have been chasing the shadow of our martial arts all your life.”
Kaio also had dedicated his life to reaching that sword. To resemble the sword of battle god.
“But that is an realm that can never be reached unless it is the original.”
Against thunder of hell, Kaio opened 10th battle king special technique, ‘tsunami’.
The thunderbolt that started with Padler and Kio had the same shape to the extent that it could be called the same technique.
The process of those who want to climb to the top will eventually give birth to similar results.
[Do you want to say that you are the original, Plutonian?]
"No. You are an enemy, but I just want to pay my respects. The fact that someone who had never belonged to Plutonian tribe was fighting in the same position as me.”
If there was one difference between Kio and the Padler, it was the ‘body’.
The thunderbolt symbolizing the Plutonian tribe needed a body that could handle it. Just as you need a blessed body to use Runcandel's decisive killing moves.
“But can you hold on? With that helpless human body.”
That's why Padler's old comrades called him a weakling. His sword was covering up his inherent defects with his life as collateral.
[I’m already died once anyway, you are keep saying useless things.]
Kaio smiled. Unlike Jin, he had no special feelings for the Padler.
He just came to fight for his brother, and he is happy that an opponent strong enough is standing to satisfy him.
Tsunami and thunder of hell were overlapping. Jin still only restricted Padler from narrowing the distance with Kaio.
It was to raise the strength while holding out until the Padler's energy was consumed as much as possible.
From then on, Padler started to put pressure on Jin rather than Kaio, and it seemed that Kaio was covering Jin with all his strength.
As a result, wounds were forming on Kaio's body. Rather, if the joint attack situation had been maintained as before, it would have been Padler who started to suffer serious injuries.
'It's not efficient.'
On the surface, it certainly was. Padler could only guess. There must be a reason for this inefficient offensive attack.
That's probably because of energy that's shining in Jin's illuminating heart right now.
Of course, it was startling because it’s a vast energy. But so far that was all.
As Kaio implied, it did not occur to Padler that this power could be sublimated to the 'original'. Because Jin was not a genesis knight. It was unlikely that Jin would be able to show the realm of the peak that even he had never set foot on, the realm that only Temar had reached a thousand years ago.
However, by the time the tsunami and thunders of hell reached their climax, Kaio said with a confident voice:
“Brother Jin, show your doomed ancestor now.”
The original sword of the peak.
Kaio continued his words, and the energy in Jin's illuminating heart began to explode in all directions.
Plutonian Battle God 10th Sword
Plutonian Reign Sword – Open
In an instant, the tsunami and thunder of hell stopped moving. Like beasts of prey fighting back when a bigger beast appears.
Jin did not stop there, and opened the next form, Plutonian battle god 10th sword 2nd form, Plutonian reign sword - War.
Sigmund had a heavy will to annihilate those who oppose Plutonian tribe.
Kaio took a proud breath, and Padler stared at Jin with a stiff body for a moment.
He now saw Temar itself from Jin, and soon realized that it was just an illusion. The man standing in front of himself is neither Temar nor a member of the old Runcandel.
It is Jin Runcandel. Not someone from thousand years ago like himself, but a peerless Runcandel who lives right now.
'But…… nothing changes.'
Padler was neither moved nor frightened by the sight. Nothing has changed, the grudge to get rid of him and watch Runcandel's destruction has not budged in the slightest.
The black clouds that had gathered according to Jin's will covered Ram, who was oppressing the sky.
Rosa, the Prophet, and the giant forces attacking Huphester were all able to watch it.
[Even if my body and soul can’t remain in any abyss of earth, hell or Chaos. Even if my name and the things I lost are erased from the world again.]
The light of thunders of hell, which started to fluctuate again, spread a more brilliant light.
The renewed thunders of hell transcends all the swords that Padler had unleashed during his lifetime.
[I will stop you from saving Runcandel.]
Suddenly, a faint memory came to Padler's mind.
One day a long time ago, it seemed that he had said something similar to what he had just said.
-Even if my body and mind, and those I love, will eventually disappear completely from this world. Even if what remains at the end is only despair and nightmares. I will protect Runcandel with you.
For some reason, what Padler said at that time was spreading like a distant echo inside Jin.
However, Jin did not stop the sword.
Tears burned in Jin's eyes, soaked in thunderbolts, and Padler's eyes were filled with endless emptiness.
Padler swung his sword instead of answering.
Along with the blade, blue lightning poured from behind it like a storm. It was as if a sea of lightning spread from Padler out of nowhere.
Kaio swiftly fired a series of arrows to counteract the crowd of blue thunderbolts. The space tinged with chaos was illuminated with mixed blue energies.
