Chapter 388: Who Is the Real Runcandel? (8)

C388 - Who Is the Real Runcandel? (8)

The distance between Jin and Luntia slowly closed.

Late screams echoed on the ground that was the training field.

Ahhh, ahhh...!

According to estimates, more than a hundred guardian knights lay moaning in all directions.

The Warriors who had protected them had barely taken a breath, but they had the premonition that a new commotion was about to ensue.

'The Third Flagbearer is furious...'

'So far, we had no choice but to save the knights, so we couldn't interfere to stop the Twelfth Flagbearer. But now, we won't be able to interfere.'

In particular, those who 'knew a little' about Luntia (mainly the senior members of the Elder Council) judged that it would be difficult to prevent the fight from starting again.

They knew how dangerous Luntia was, who had finally made a move.

And there was no need to stop her.

'The Family's Guardian Knights nearly died burned.'

'If this isn't treason, then what is it?'

Jin had scorched the entire central field of the Family, and at worst, over a dozen Guardian Knights could have turned into ashes.

Thanks to the efforts of the Flagbearers and the high-ranking knights, there were no casualties, but it was an incident that could easily be called treason.

Moreover, they had witnessed bold statements that not only questioned the legitimacy of the Family but also undermined it from the perspective of the attacked Runcandels.

Of course, Jin had deployed 'Hellfire' under the judgment that the top Flagbearers and the knights could adequately protect the Guardian Knights, and there was a situation where Lynn Milcano encouraged the situation by speaking of a show of strength.

However, that wouldn't serve as a mitigation.

Everything has a limit.

From now on, what Jin had to demonstrate was nothing other than valor.

To prove that the declaration of returning Runcandel to a Family of Magic Swordsmen was not just words.

And for that, there was no need to mention that he must win.

The moment he was defeated in the battle against Luntia.

However impactful the words were.

However remarkable the challenge was.

However powerful the warning was.

However brilliant the truth was...

All the words Jin uttered would lose their value.

Initially, merely engaging in a decent fight with the Third Flagbearer as the Twelfth Flagbearer would have been a noteworthy achievement, but not now.

The responsibility for the weighty words containing a thousand years of history rested on his shoulders.

As an individual of Runcandel.

With ten steps between them, Jin and Luntia silently locked eyes for a moment.

The spirit of combat and the intent to kill filled Jin's eyes, while Luntia's held a deep gaze.

Bradamante, the sword that had consumed Hellfire, and Charles, the fine sword infused with aura, vibrated.

The two swords emitted sharp resonances, like beasts trying to tear each other apart.

There was no signal.

However, both swung their swords at each other without the slightest error.

It was as if they were wielding a bludgeon, not swords, with no restraint whatsoever.

Thus, the first clash between them began.

Thump!

When the energy contained in the swords was released, a thunderous sound and shockwave occurred.

Before the shockwave could escape the arena, the swords clashed once more.

Like giant pieces of glass shattering, a rain of flames and aura burst from their swords.

"Kugh!"

It was as if nails had been driven into their bones and organs.

Jin's expression contorted in pain, and Luntia clenched her teeth tightly.

Despite being covered in flames, Luntia seemed serene, even managing to resist the Hellfire flowing through Bradamante.

If Rosa hadn't called, Luntia would have taken two more steps and cut Jin's throat.

"Yes."

"Are you going to kill him?"

"Yes."

Rosa didn't add more words to Luntia's response.

In the silence, Jin's labored breathing sounded especially loud.

Even for those unfamiliar with swords, it was clear that his endurance had reached its limit, considering how rapidly he was breathing.

After about fifteen seconds, Luntia had no choice but to ask.

"Is there a problem with killing the Twelfth Flagbearer? I would like to know why you haven't said anything."

Upon hearing this, Rosa slowly raised her head.

"I had my doubts, so I was thinking."

"What doubts..."

"I find it curious why everyone thinks the fight is over."

At Rosa's words, all the Runcandels turned their gaze toward Jin.

He was still panting and standing as he thrust Bradamante into the ground.

Jin unsheathed a new sword.

The blade that emerged from the sheath was as pale as the dawn sky.

The Thunder Sword, Sigmund.

A divine sword of the Legends Tribe that Jin inherited from the Battle Goddess, Vahn.

Crackkkkkkkk...

The blade, infused with lightning, emitted a deep and ominous sound.

The pupils of the Runcandels who saw this filled with astonishment.

Does he still have the strength to fight...?

'After unleashing that insane flame sword a moment ago, does he still have energy left?'

No, the Acting Patriarch must have examined the fact that the Twelfth Flagbearer still had some willpower left. His current endurance would no longer sustain him.

Jin no longer had the strength to fight.

Even if he did, it would never be enough to change the course of the battle.

That's what the Runcandels believed.

"Hah... I thought I had completely destroyed everything, but one remains."

Finally, when Jin opened his mouth, Luntia felt goosebumps on her skin.

She also thought that Rosa's words meant Jin still had some willpower left.

It wasn't that.

"It seems today I must completely destroy even the seat of honor where my mother is sitting to make my statement more meaningful."

Upon hearing this, the Runcandels once again felt as if their heads had been struck by a heavy hammer, numbing their senses.

Sword of Legends, Battle God's Technique, Tenth Move:

Sword of the Reign of the King of Legends: Initiation

Jin's eyes filled with lightning.

The ground twisted and darkened as lightning radiated outward, splitting the scorched earth.

A horrifying heat, distinct from the Hellfire, quickly spread and engulfed the surroundings.

[Everyone, keep your eyes wide open... Look carefully. Who is the true Runcandel and what has Runcandel been protecting? And...]

What the current Runcandel has forgotten.

Jin looked at the Runcandels again with his shining eyes and continued to speak.

The lightning energy covering his sword blanketed the chaotic, broken ground.
