C644

Somehow, Talaris avoided fatal wounds, but his condition wasn’t great. He had internal injuries, and the breath he exhaled was coated in blood.

The Warrior who challenged Cyron the most, if not for that, Talaris would’ve been torn apart by the Frenzy by now.

"Runcandel's enemies are attacking the Garden of Swords, and yet you've come here with Talaris-nim. I didn't know you held such deep grudges against him."

The Chaos Energy protecting the Garden of Swords, Kalon and Ram, has weakened. All that Chaos was converging on Rosa. In other words, it now solely depended on Rosa's personal strength.

Jin was recalling the nightmare of the War of the Sword Emperor Castle because of the massive Chaos Rosa unleashed.

Rosa narrowed her eyes as if Jin's words were amusing.

[Wouldn’t you have done the same if you were in my place?]

Undoubtedly, Rosa Runcandel would prioritize dealing with Talaris-nim over me.

Jin immediately thought of that as soon as he faintly felt Talaris's cold energy.

Looking back, there was no reason to be so sure.

It was much more efficient for Rosa to continuously overwhelm the formidable forces of Zipple and Kinzelo than to deal with Talaris without hesitation.

After the Chaos Energy between Ram and the city faded, the cannon shots from each force pierced the sky over the Garden of Swords more easily than before.

When Jin didn’t respond, Rosa smiled.

[You may not want to admit it, but you resemble me a lot]

Taang!

A thunderous sound rang out from the GodSlayer.

Rosa lightly knocked down Kaio's arrow.

Although Kaio lost his energy due to the ultra-long-distance support, not even Jin, before getting tired, could have easily withstood such power.

"What do you mean he resembles you? Don’t compare the Thirteenth Battle King of the Great Tribe of Legends to a monster like you."

[Tribe of Legends, this is the first time I've seen you in person. But the first impression is quite disappointing. You're provoking me to save that boy... the Sword of Legends ability the younger one often displayed didn’t emit such a pathetic feeling]

"The power gained through immorality, are you so arrogant as to believe in that?"

[Immorality... I've never distrusted such ambiguous human standards. Even before this body became Chaos]

Squeak-!

Suddenly, a black sword swept across Kaio's back.

If Kaio’s reaction had been delayed, his body would’ve been split in half.

Rosa didn’t move.

What slashed Kaio was the Chaos blade formed at her feet following Rosa’s will.

Before they knew it, dozens of those swords had formed.

The pillars of light were mercilessly sliced leaving only bright traces.

Before even the traces vanished, the black swords swirled and aimed at Jin, Kaio, and Talaris.

"Brother Jin! Don’t worry about me, save your companion!" shouted Kaio as he pushed back the chaos swords with his arrows.

Jin didn’t even have time to respond.

Talaris and Mort's frost protective shield, deployed in time to block the attacks, was breaking too quickly.

On the other hand, Rosa's number of swords was increasing with every blink.

One hundred, two hundred, three hundred...

Rosa's first move was the moment Jin lunged at Talaris.

[The Family's value is dominance through strength, not immorality. That’s what you often said. It used to be like that. I've often thought about it, but I don't know the difference no matter how much I think about it.]

Jin, blocking Frenzy's Sword, stepped back.

[Runcandel has killed countless people so far, and has enjoyed conquests and looting. This too would be immoral to some people. What are your standards?]

Jin didn’t hesitate to respond.

"I'm a human born into a Sword Family and the rightful heir of the Magic Sword, not a Chaos pawn. That's all."

[That's a good answer]

Jin stepped back and countered Frenzy.

The power of Rosa, felt in a single clash, clearly surpassed his.

The shadow force of the first night and the chaos of the meteoric sword began to push against each other, and the struggle between Jin and Rosa began.

[Is this the best sword you've completed so far?]

The hundreds of black sword energies that seemed to overwhelm the entire battlefield stopped moving.

It was the result of Rosa fully concentrating on the meteor shower.

Thanks to this, Kaio, Talaris, and Mort could pause for a moment to catch their breath.

However, they couldn't move.

The blades that had stopped moving blocked their path like bars of a prison.

Kaio still had the strength to pierce through them, but Talaris did not.

Mort attempted a brief dimensional shift, but the fatigue and thick chaos blocking the dimensional portal to the snow garden made it impossible.

It seemed like time had stopped on the battlefield.

The meteor shower and the first night advanced so slowly that one had to look closely to realize it.

Jin's ultimate technique was losing ground.

The curtains of shadow force layers were silently being shattered by the meteor shower.

Rosa lowered her head, seemingly disappointed.

[Very... impressive sword]

Her disappointment wasn't because she thought Jin's ultimate technique was ridiculous.

Contrary to appearances, Rosa knew that her meteor shower was being completely blocked by the Shadow Energy of the First Night.

The disappointment was that she couldn't kill Talaris with that sword.

As soon as Rosa finished speaking, the meteor shower disappeared as if absorbed by the First Night.

Jin was bleeding from every pore of his face, and Rosa seemed to stagger from the impact.

But that was all.

Rosa wouldn't delay in unleashing her next sword move to finish off Talaris.

Jin didn't have much strength left, but still, he launched his body forward.

'If I use my last strength to unleash the Sword of the Reign of the King of Legends again...!'

What will come next?

He couldn't think that far ahead.

The only conviction filling 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 held significant meaning for Jin.

Kaio also pierced through the blades of chaos and advanced with Jin, and Talaris attempted to scream.

She tried to tell them not to come, to escape and survive.

She also received Rosa's sword before Jin arrived.

That's why she knew Jin was Rosa's only opponent.

If Jin died trying to save her here, the world would no longer be able to face Rosa.

But before Talaris could say those words, Jin realized he didn't need to risk his life to save her at that moment.

Above Talaris' head descended a dragon.

A black light descended like salvation.

[Long time no see, brat.]

The Black Dragon, Murakan, Jin's Guardian Dragon.
