Chapter 491

C491

Jin decided to follow Joshua and his group and head slowly towards the Second Magic Tower.

Joshua and his group advanced while massacring Zipples and Kinzelo members in the following sections, so there was no need to engage in battles or hide.

Scenes of corpses, blood, and destruction continued.

From behind, the vibrations and noise of ongoing battles could still be heard, and it seemed that at this rate, the entire shipyard was going to collapse.

I guess it's up to us to be dragged by Joshua.

As they moved, Dyfus recalled Jin's last words.

Yes, not even Jin can understand everything perfectly.

That fact did not disappoint him at all.

Joshua, that viper, is not only skillful at scheming but also possesses the abilities of the prophet...

It's impressive enough just to perfectly understand the flow of events so far. Honestly, I wouldn't have been able to keep up.

Dyfus felt anguish knowing that he still couldn't be of much help.

"Second elder brother, honestly, I didn't plan to make you this proposition. I thought I could kill Joshua on my own. But sister Mary asked me to come back with you without getting hurt."

(Note: Remember that Dyfus is the Fourth Flagbearer but also the Second Elder Brother of Jin.)

He remembered the words Jin had told him just before starting the operation.

If things continued like this, even if he managed to kill Joshua, he would end up being led by Jin.

As a fellow Flagbearer and as an elder brother.

He couldn't accept such an outcome.

I need to be of help.

Just like in the time of Barton, I must not fall into a situation where I have to retreat unless I receive help from Jin.

Since Jin had mentioned that he didn't know why Joshua felt confident at that moment, Dyfus also couldn't come up with an immediate solution.

However, what was important was that he could cling to his spirit and will, which had momentarily been lost in the excitement of being able to kill Joshua.

Dyfus had rarely failed in what he had set out to do so far.

The group soon crossed to section twenty after passing through nineteen.

According to the shipyard's layout, there was an emergency passage near the Second Magic Tower.

Looking around, they saw signs that Joshua and the Black Knight had forcefully opened and destroyed the passage.

"Jin, it seems there was no fight in the passage. Did Kinzelo use a different passage?"

"Or maybe they used their leader's steel door ability."

"That ability he showed during the terror attack on Sword Emperor Castle, damn it. Except for Runcandel, everyone has surpassed the limits of transfer gates."

"Vermont hasn't shown such advanced technology or capabilities yet."

"The Empire can't be compared to us. That's why Vermont hasn't appeared here yet. Anyway, I feel bad. Let's move on."

Outside the passage was the Sota Desert.

Whoosh!

Fierce and thick sandstorms covered the entire desert.

The giant sandstorms scattered here and there gave an ominous feeling.

Naturally, from this point onward, there were no traces of Joshua and the Black Knight's movements.

The footprints lasted not even an instant and were covered with sand, and it was difficult to breathe without forming a protective shield.

Natural disasters and adverse conditions that for civilians would be nothing more than catastrophes were not fatally effective on most trained martial artists.

Even dying uselessly from falling rocks or being struck by lightning with astronomical odds, individuals with a power level of 8 stars or higher would never die unexpectedly.

And much less for those like Jin or Dyfus, who could be called superhumans.

The Sota Desert environment threatening the group at that moment far exceeded that normal level.

'It's no joke...'

It was such a fierce environment that a civilian couldn't survive for even a second.

The sand-laden wind cut through protective shields like a sharp knife.

"I can endure to a certain extent."

"Do you know how destructive these traps can be?"

"As Jin said last night, this is a time to take risks. Such a risky opportunity may not come again. Let's go in, gather real information, and kill Joshua."

"That's bold, I like it. Put your body on the line, and let's overcome this crisis."

Murakan, speaking as if he agreed, looked at Jin for a moment.

As always, the decision had to be made by him.

Jin flatly refused with an attitude that there was no need to worry.

"No, that's a last resort. If by any chance you fall into a trap, the losses will be too great, older brother Dyfus, and if our location is exposed due to the activation of the barriers, there will be no escape."

"I knew you'd say that, the younger one. Do you have any other option?"

Swish!

Bradamante came out of its sheath.

"...I have experienced this terrible desert once. I have a sword that I obtained along with enlightenment at that time, and I think it might work."

Shadow Blade

First Movement: Soul Slash.

Jin had passed through the final gate of the Great Mitra Desert with that sword.

Although Zipple's barriers and magic were formidable, they didn't seem superior to Solderet's trial.

After forming a blood alliance with the Phantom Legion Mercenaries, the Soul Slash had also been effective when the remains of the Seigal Clan tried to commit suicide in the unnamed desert in the eastern part of the Empire...

Swiish...

The blade of Bradamante darkened.

"If the Shadow Blade doesn't work, then I'll consider using my knowledge to personally unravel the barriers and spells. And if that doesn't work, then I can consider putting you in the front, older brother."

Jin closed his eyes and began to concentrate.

The will to cut, the belief that he could cut, the will to cut and pass through.

The strength of will and knowledge acquired in the Great Mitra Desert passed through his entire body and mind.

Before swinging the sword, a smile appeared on Jin's lips.

This was because a mysterious and indescribable sensation extended from the tip of his sword, as if he had already glimpsed the future and the outcome.

The barrier and magic were cut with a gentle stroke of the sword.

Every time he lightly swung the sword, the sandstorm diminished, and the illusions covering the tower gradually faded away.

Jin continued to wield Bradamante until all the spells were erased, and it seemed as if he were performing a sword dance.

When Jin opened his eyes again, he felt refreshed, as if he had just taken a bath.

The horrible sandstorm and tempest had mysteriously disappeared.

In the serene twilight, with a gentle breeze blowing, the lonely White Night Tower appeared.

The White Night Tower was much closer than the illusions had hidden.

"The moment you have to risk your life for the Family shouldn't be due to mere barriers like this, older brother."

After saying that, Jin waited for Dyfus to respond.

He felt that he owed him.

But for some reason, there was no response even after a few seconds.

Instead, the sound of Murakan clicking his tongue was heard.

"Hmm... Tsk. Well, after all, they were all real."

Dyfus was momentarily speechless, realizing that all the flying ships filling the sky were indeed "real."
