Somehow Talaris avoided fatal wounds, but her condition was not very good. She had internal wounds, and the breath she exhaled was covered with blood.
The martial artist who challenged Chiron the most, if it wasn’t for that, Talaris would have already been torn apart by frenzy.
“The main enemies of Runcandel are attacking the Garden of Swords, but to leave them alone and come to Madame Talaris. I didn’t know you had such a deep grudge against me.”
The energy of chaos that protected the Garden of Swords, Kalon, and Ram has weakened.
All of that chaos was converged on Rosa. In other words, all of that has now become Rosa's personal strength.
Jin was recalling the nightmare of sword emperor castle war from the gigantic chaos that Rosa released.
Rosa narrowed her eyes as if Jin's words were amusing.
[Wouldn't you have done this if it were you?]
Rosa Runcandel will definitely try to deal with Madame Talaris before me.
Jin immediately thought of that the moment he faintly felt the Cold energy of Talaris.
Looking back, there was no reason to be so sure.
It was much more efficient for Rosa to continuously overwhelm the gigantic forces of Zipfel and Kinzelo than to deal with one Talaris without question.
After the energy of chaos between Ram and the city faded, the artillery fire by each force penetrated the sky above the Garden of Swords more easily than before.
When Jin didn't answer, Rosa smiled.
[You may not want to admit it, but you resemble me a lot.]
Taang-!
A blast rang out from god killer. Rosa lightly knocked down Kaio's arrow.
Even though Kaio lost his energy due to ultra-long distance support, but even Jin didn’t able to knock it down so easy before he was tired.
“What do you mean by he resembles you? Do not compare the 13th battle king of great Plutonian tribe with a monster like you.”
[Plutonian tribe, this is the first time I've seen you in person. However, your first impression is very disappointing. You are provoking me to save that child...… the Plutonian swordsmanship that the youngest often showed didn’t have such a servile feeling.]
“The power obtained through immorality, are you so arrogant to believe in that?”
[Immorality...… I have never been wary of such ambiguous human standards. Even before this body becomes chaos.]
Squeak-!
Suddenly, a black blade swept across Kaio's back. If Kaio's reaction had been delayed, his body would have split in half.
Rosa didn't move. What slashed Kaio was the blade of chaos formed at his feet following Rosa's will.
Before they knew it, dozens of such swords had been formed. The pillars of light are mercilessly sliced leaving only shining traces.
Before the traces were even erased, the black blades whirled and aimed at Jin, Kaio, and Talaris.
“Brother Jin! Don’t mind me, save your comrades!”
Kaio shouted as he pushed back the swords of chaos with his arrows.
Jin didn't even have time to answer. Talaris and Mort's frost protective shields, which had been deployed in time for blocking the attacks, were breaking too quickly.
On the other hand, the number of Rosa's blades increased every time she blinked. One hundred, two hundred, three hundred...… Rosa's first move was the moment Jin rushed to Talaris.
[The value of the clan is dominance by force, not immorality. That’s what you often said. It was like that before. I've often thought but I don't know the difference no matter how much I think about it.]
Jin, who was blocked the frenzy, took a step back.
[Runcandel has killed countless people so far, and has enjoyed conquest and plunder. This will also be immoral for some people. What are your standards?]
Jin didn't worry about the answer.
“I am a human born from a sword family and a legitimate heir of magic sword, not a plaything of chaos. That's all.”
[That’s a good answer.]
Jin took a step back and countered the frenzy.
Rosa's power, which he felt in just one exchange, clearly surpassed his own.
It would have been the same even if Jin didn’t have the accumulated fatigue and injuries from the previous battle.
In addition, he could feel the energy piercing his body through the sword that collided with frenzy.
‘Like poison, chaos is poisoning my body……!’
Chaos, a dark force that plunges humans into demonic nature.
Rosa herself is a huge chaos and the most powerful source of contagiousness. Ordinary martial artists would be engulfed in chaos just by standing near her.
Jin even thought that maybe it couldn't be handled by even martial artist of 9-stars or higher level, and it would be impossible even for superhumans to engage in direct combat with her for a long time.
No, it wasn't just a thought, it was a conviction.
Jin could feel the battle god’s blood and the illuminating heart beating like crazy and pushing away the chaos transmitted from Rosa.
'It didn’t happen when I first encountered it in the Garden of Swords...…. Is it the result of accepting something more from the Prophet after things against me didn’t work out, or was it hidden?'
Either way, Rosa's contagiousness meant one thing. Currently, Jin is the only human who can fight against Rosa in human world.
[Ilina's words about the Plutonian tribe being immune to chaos are true. If so, then you are also beyond human.]
"I get the feeling that you want to keep talking to me as if we are on the same level, but why? Do you want to receive some fake comfort that it's not just you who has crossed the line?"
[You will also come to know once you have a satisfying child of your own. The pleasure of having a child who resembles yourself is immeasurable. That's all there is to it.]
“You are completely insane. I don't want the same treatment as you who has succumbed to chaos.”
[Well, in that case, Runcandel would have been finished before you came. It seems that you keep misunderstanding this mother about that part.]
Madness, or demonic nature.
Although she was said to be insane, Rosa was different from Ron before he defied his fate or Smarion in the Ghost Castle, who had lost his reason.
If she had accepted such chaos, she should have lost her sanity soon, but Jin couldn't sense anything like that from Rosa.
Instead, Rosa seemed more like a "living person" than ever before.
In Jin’s memories the acting patriarch of the clan rarely showed any emotion. Especially emotions such as pleasure and satisfaction.
Now Rosa looked genuinely happy. She also looked sad, knowing that she would have to kill her beloved child with her own hands.
Jin's gaze fell on the back of Rosa, where he saw Talaris and Mort struggling on the edge of the blade of chaos.
[Did you want to save the master of hidden palace? Well, you probably considered her more like a mother than me.]
The blade of frenzy pierced Jin's chest. He manages to block it with a Bradamante, but Jin loses balance in an instant and bounces back.
I'm jealous...….
With that said, Rosa turned her body to stare at Talaris, ignoring Jin who tried to block follow-up attack.
For a moment, thoughts of Talaris flooded in Rosa's mind. Looking back, she seemed to have always been jealous of the master of hidden palace, not just now. Chiron had always been closer to her than herself.
[I wonder what it would be like if the first sword that saved you took the life of the master of hidden palace. If so, will it hurt you a little?]
Meteor shower.
The third decisive killing move of Runcandel, the first sword of bloodline that saved Jin for the first time. The frenzy raised high was calling out black meteors.
The power surpassing Luna's mind blade, which wiped out the entire island that day, shook the entire battlefield before striking the ground.
However, the black meteor was tied up in the sky for a while without pouring down. As if caught in a noose.
1st Ultimate technique of Shadow Sword
First night.
Blocking senses, the first sign of the ultimate technique of shadow sword.
For an instant, Rosa's senses were blocked. However, before three seconds had passed, Rosa regained her senses and began to control the meteor shower once again. The first night's shadow force and the meteor sword's chaos began to push each other away, and the struggle between Jin and Rosaa began.
[Is this the best sword that you have currently completed?]
The hundreds of black swords that had been moving, overwhelming the entire battlefield, came to a halt. It was the result of Rosa focusing entirely on meteor shower.
Thanks to this, Kaio, Talaris, and Mort were able to stop for a moment to catch their breath.
However, they could not move. The blades that had stopped moving blocked their path like prison bars.
Kaio still had the strength to break through them, but Talalis did not
Mort attempted a short dimensional shift, but the fatigue and thick chaos blocking the dimensional portal for the snow garden made it impossible.
It seemed like time had stopped on the battlefield. The meteor shower and the first night were moving so slowly that one had to look closely to notice.
The ultimate technique of Jin was losing the ground. The layered curtains of shadow force was being torn apart silently by the meteor shower.
Rosa shook her head in disappointment.
[Such…… a great sword.]
Her disappointment was not because she thought Jin's ultimate technique was ridiculous. It was because, despite appearances, she knew that her meteor shower was completely blocked by the first night.
It is disappointing that this sword has prevented her from killing Talaris.
Cracking...…!
As soon as Rosa finished speaking, the meteor shower disappeared as if absorbed into the first night.
Jin was bleeding from every pore of his face, and Rosa seemed to be staggering from the impact. But that was all. Rosa will immediately unleash her next sword and finish off Talaris.
Jin didn't have much strength left, but he still threw his body forward.
‘If I use my last bit of strength to unleash the Plutonian’s reign sword again……!’
What next?
He couldn't have imagined it at that point. The only belief that filled Jin's mind was that he couldn't let Talaris die.
In that single moment, his heart was completely dominated by emotion. To Jin, Talaris was such a person. A comrade who always had significant meaning to Jin.
Kaio also broke through the blades of chaos and went forward with Jin, and Talalis tried to scream. Don't come, run away and survive.
She also received Rosa's sword before Jin came. That's why she knew that Jin is Rosa's only opponent. If Jin dies trying to save her here, the world will no longer be able to stand against Rosa.
But before Talalis could say those words. Jin realised that he didn't have to risk his life at this moment to save her.
Above Talaris' head, a dragon was descending. A black light was descending like salvation.
[Long time no see, kid.]
The black dragon, Murakan, Jin's guardian dragon.
Somehow Talaris avoided fatal wounds, but her condition was not very good. She had internal wounds, and the breath she exhaled was covered with blood.
The martial artist who challenged Chiron the most, if it wasn’t for that, Talaris would have already been torn apart by frenzy.
“The main enemies of Runcandel are attacking the Garden of Swords, but to leave them alone and come to Madame Talaris. I didn’t know you had such a deep grudge against me.”
