Chapter 405:

C405 - Emperor Sword Banquet (10)

Ding!

The mana accumulated in Jin's palm swirled into a sphere and emitted a sharp sound.

The figures in gray robes immediately recognized the magic and hastily deployed a protective shield.

The Reverse Sky sphere shone like a moon under the dark night sky.

Bolts of lightning also rained down around the sphere.

The lightning relentlessly struck the protective shield of the gray-robed figures.

Normally, the power of the lightning from the Sword of the Reign of the King of Legends wouldn't have been able to penetrate the shield of the gray robes.

After all, they were also great mages.

However, the problem was the power of Reverse Sky.

The strongly held shield seemed as though it could crumble at any moment.

Moreover, the lightning was not meant to break the shield but rather to disrupt their vision.

Crack!

The lightning against the protective shield dispersed and disrupted the gray robes' vision.

Therefore, they couldn't easily follow Jin's movements.

[Kaaaahh!]

The living golems charged at Jin.

Each possessed considerable strength, but it was pointless if they couldn't reach him.

The charging golems lost their balance due to the suppression lightning.

Jin didn't waste the opportunity and quickly spread his sword energy in all directions, instantly killing them.

Jin's close combat abilities were on par with those of superhumans, and his magical capabilities were so advanced that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to refer to him as a great mage.

Such crude living golems couldn't pose a threat to Jin. Fiind updated novels at novelhall.com

"Is this also Joe's doing?" Jin asked as he focused the Reverse Sky mana towards the gray golems.

Cold Joe is Rolt Joe's older brother and the leader of the Dark Magic Society.

He had created living golems called 'legend-type,' imitating the Legend Tribe.

These were much less sophisticated than living golems of the Legend Tribe type.

They probably wanted to hide that Kinzelo was behind the terrorist attack, and they must have deliberately sent these golems.'

The gray robes didn't respond but concentrated their mana.

There was something else that Jin was truly curious about.

How were so many living golems created, and for what purpose?

Especially because they seemed like mere disposable items.

The living golems in this plain numbered around three hundred, and those he had seen in the Emperor Sword Castle undoubtedly exceeded ten thousand.

At least ten thousand humans had served as material for these living golems.

And there was a high chance that this wasn't even all of it.

'Someone is helping Kinzelo gather humans.'

Gathering such a number of humans on their own would be difficult for Kinzelo.

It meant that there were sponsors at least at the level of a high-ranking feudal state or even a kingdom.

In those days, Kinzelo could barely gather thousands of humans with the support of the Holy Kingdom when the headquarters of the Dark Magic Society was in Oterium.

'If possible, I'd like to capture them alive and find out, but I don't think they'll give information due to torture. They probably have means of committing suicide.'

Woosh!

In the blink of an eye, Jin had broken through the shields of the gray robes.

The gray robes couldn't perceive Jin's attack because the lightning had obscured their vision.

The sword rebounded, but the shield also shattered.

Fragments scattered, and Jin adjusted his posture and thrust Sigmund forward.

He felt the familiar sensation of flesh and bone being sliced by the sword.

Jin had pierced the shoulder of the forwardmost mage, but other mages were casting attack spells behind him.

There were two types: a mana bolt and an ice sword.

Their breaths became ragged, and it seemed like they might collapse at any moment.

Jin coldly stared at their shattered protective shields.

It was time to end this.

However, just as Jin took a step to finish off the gray robes, he hesitated and turned around.

Suddenly, a powerful and familiar aura spread from behind.

Woosh...

In an instant, the area was illuminated by a bright light.

When Jin turned to look, he saw the Emperor Sword Castle covered in thousands of lightning bolts.

It wasn't like the lightning tsunami Jin had caused in Runcandel.

But it was on a scale that couldn't be explained even by 10-star lightning-type magic.

What was even more astonishing was that this thunderstorm wasn't produced by a magical spell.

My brothers' power...!?

The power of the Legends, the most powerful warrior race in history.

The electric storm ravaging the Emperor Sword Castle clearly resembled that power.

Slightly different but so similar that even Jin could have been mistaken.

Jin suddenly recalled the living Legends-type golems.

Does this mean that Cold Joe has completed the living Legends golems?

Even if it's complete, I thought they had sent other failed living golems to hide the fact that Kinzelo is behind all of this...!

Jii, jii~

Amidst the sudden change in situation, Jin heard an unpleasant laugh.

It was the laughter of the dying gray robes.

"Monsters like you have always made what we've dedicated our lives to seem insignificant..."

"That's why we decided to become monsters ourselves. You, who were born a monster, will never understand the desperate choices we've made until you die."

The mages were removing the gray robes that covered their bodies, exposing their bare chests.

Jin involuntarily swallowed hard when he saw what they had embedded in their chests.

It was a gem similar to the "Light Heart."

"You expect this power to belong to you entirely, Twelfth Flagbearer of Runcandel."

"A new world is opening up. There will be no place for you there."

Jin clenched his teeth as the gems embedded in the mages' chests began to glow.

It wasn't because of the unexpected strength of the "lightning" the mages were releasing. Jin felt extremely uneasy.

The same unbearable discomfort that Jin had felt when he encountered the unfinished living Legends-type golems in Oterium.

Jin's expression twisted in anger.

"Phew."

As similar as the gems on the mages' chests were to the illuminating heart, as powerful as the energy of the lightning was, the power they possessed was ultimately stolen and, in itself, a falsehood that insulted their brothers.

Bastards...

You've crossed a line far beyond the limit.

As if it was no longer worth watching, Jin rushed forward and swung Sigmund.

The mages had shown physical abilities vastly different from when they wore their gray robes, and they used their fists to deflect Sigmund.

The mages were overconfident, thinking they could defeat Jin.

But the next moment...

Thud!

Jin grabbed the head of the mage in front of him with his bare hand.

The mage's head was completely crushed and scattered in all directions as Jin squeezed his fist.
