C637

He also had to be a Knight born from chaos, the power of the Prophet.

However, his appearance was different from that of the other knights. Instead of the dense, typical black sensation of Chaos energy, his entire body was tinged with a subtle silver hue. Not even his pupils harbored the ferocity of a bloodthirsty beast.

Rather, they bore the deep and solemn gaze of a Warrior who had reached the pinnacle.

Strong. To the point where there was no need to test it by clashing swords.

Jin examined him carefully and searched his memory.

He recalled the description of an ancient patriarch of the Family that he read in the library of Storm Castle.

The ancient patriarch of Runcandel, called the "Lion King" for his long mane that spread in all directions like a mane.

Lionel Runcandel, that was the name of the man who emerged from the mausoleum.

"The youngest son of Runcandel greets the sixth patriarch of the Family."

Jin showed courtesy to Lionel with a calm attitude.

[Oh, so you recognize me. I've heard there are hardly any stories about me left. Admirable.]

Almost all records about him remained in the library of Storm Castle.

Since his time was shortly after Runcandel's defeat against Zipple, most records about him were erased.

"You said admirable, so can I ask you a question in return?"

[What is it?]

"Unlike other Knights of Chaos, you seem to have clear reason and will, ancestor. In that case, the current state of the Family must not seem very good to you. Which side did you punish with that corpse?"

[Haha! If I don't take your side, it seems you'll jump right away.]

"Please answer me."

[I'm just a ghost bound to the summoner. So my job is to punish you. You're asking the obvious. Well, in my opinion, Rosa's judgment isn't so bad.]

"Then I can no longer respect you, Lionel. Even if from now on you endure the shame of being cut by the sword of your descendant, I hope you accept it humbly..."

[You are truly a descendant with great spirit]

The blue flames in Jin's eyes sharpened.

At the same time, Lionel sliced through the air with a long sword formed by Chaos.

Swoosh...!

Lionel's light strike distorted space and released a sword energy that had reached the pinnacle of swordsmanship.

The nearby Knights of Chaos were swept away by the force and repulsion generated by his swordsmanship.

Lionel paid no attention to their safety.

Except for Temar and the current patriarch of Runcandel, who was undoubtedly the strongest of all time.

Lionel was full of thoughts that he had to kill the descendant who was obviously the boy who most resembled Cyron.

As Lionel's sword energy enveloped Jin.

Stam aimed at Jin's rear and was inwardly astonished.

'Even though he completely exposed his back... there's no opening.'

Stam couldn't recklessly extend his sword against Jin's exposed back. He was convinced that even if he rushed, the result would be a meaningless battle.

The Twelfth Flagbearer of the Family, whom he had saved just a few years ago, was revealing the dignity of an absolute Warrior.

Even Jin casually... 'tore' Lionel's sword energy.

Not even with a sword, but with bare hands.

"I thought you'd give me the first chance to attack, but it's shameful."

Swoosh.

Jin was looking at Lionel, who was taller than him, but Lionel felt like his gaze had come from a higher place.

[Though I've lived my whole life in arrogance, I don't feel secure enough to allow such behavior against you.]

Though he had managed to maintain composure at all times, Jin was clearly being pushed back.

Lionel showed no signs of fatigue despite relentlessly using decisive movements to kill, and Stam controlled the flow of battle as if she had combined Yona's and Luna's traits.

Stam was surprisingly silent when striking openings, and overwhelmingly heavy when being attacked.

Because of this, Jin concluded that Stam was a more formidable opponent than Lionel.

"Plus, I'm sure they both have some moves saved."

Jin thought the same.

However, Jin was constantly aware of an uncontrollable variable. It would be a waste to play his cards now.

"The Chaos Energy hitting the flames is gradually fading. If this continues, the time I have to endure without playing another card..."

About 5 minutes.

As long as he held out, it would be fine to regain the power of the hellfire protecting the fleeing knights.

That had been Jin's reason for facing Lionel and Stam only in a power struggle until now.

"Until then, it's hard to know if I can withstand the attacks of both with pure swordsmanship skill..."

The moment Jin thought that far.

He could feel the chaos energy suddenly weakening, pushing back the hellfire.

And from afar, someone's aura began to seriously push the chaos energy.

Jorden Runcandel.

He began releasing the power he had stored under the protection of the hellfire.

Roaring, Tess, who protected the knights from above, let out a roar. It was the signal for them to leave the Garden of Swords and head to Kalon.

Jin unconsciously smiled.

Finally...

The hellfire that had filled the Garden of Swords disappeared immediately.

At the same time, Lionel and Stam distanced themselves.

It was because they recognized that Jin's energy had changed as soon as the flames disappeared.

However, the fire didn't vanish, but returned to Jin. The fire centered around Jin returned to envelop him in blue light.

When Multa's rune and shadow force armor were released, Jin's body was exposed, perfectly reproducing the empress of flame.

"Could it be that the hellfire we've been facing all this time was only half of his true power...?"

For Lionel and Stam, it was completely unexpected. They knew the flames were protecting the knights, but they couldn't believe he couldn't wield his full power because of it.

It wasn't because they lacked insight.

No one would have guessed that the transcendent fire that had repelled chaos from the entire Garden of Swords all this time was only half the strength.

"Lionel, I think I must tell you something before we end this."

Lionel's wide eyes trembled with astonishment.

Like a descendant blessed to witness the legend of the Flame Empress, Sarah Runcandel.

"Unlike you, Lady Sarah fought for Runcandel for a thousand years even after death. Though her entire body was broken and her mind more devastated than that... during those long years, she never compromised on anything."

Would you still dare to qualify her thousand-year struggle and determination as a mere child's dream?

Lionel couldn't choose a response to Jin's following words.

"I see you can't answer. That's why today you'll face death once again in this place."

Bradamante rushed towards Lionel and Stam, like the blade of a guillotine falling upon a traitor.
