91. Respecting power and power (8)
Kkeudeudeuk…!
The chains of fire holding Kojek were swaying precariously. Judging by the trembling appearance, it seemed that it would break sooner or later.
Still, it’s Zipel’s decisive battle weapon.
No matter how great Jin was, it was unreasonable to destroy him alone.
Just pushing it this far has already far exceeded everyone’s expectations.
In the first place, Ziple received information about Runkandel from Barton in advance and expected an easy victory when he came here. Since Kojek even had a space explosion, I thought I would be able to push Runkandel away in an instant.
But it is retreating.
Against only two riders of Runkandel, one black knight, and ten guardian knights.
“Do your best to increase Ko-Jek’s power! All healing mages take care of the young boy!”
More than forty wizards, including Midnight Sun and Elite, were killed, and all six red dragons were killed.
On the other hand, there have been no deaths in Runkandel yet. There were a few guardian knights who were seriously injured, but they were at a level that could be treated as much as they could if they returned.
All of this was possible because of Jin.
Big!
A line of black blood flowed from Jin’s mouth. Cold sweat broke out on his pale face.
‘I guess I was overdoing it too.’
Prior to this mission, he had already been seriously injured in the fight against Silder Ray.
He went to Seongguk and received intensive treatment, but he could not improve his physical condition to the best level.
In that state, almost all the mana that could be operated was poured out at once, so the backflow of mana was a natural phenomenon.
However, it was not very serious like Beradin. After ten minutes of calming down, he was able to recover to some extent by displaying his unique magic control ability.
I had to recover.
‘It should be enough to be able to fight Barton after Ziffle withdraws.’
Because the next battle was scheduled.
It was a mountain beyond the mountain, but there was no need to be very nervous.
‘Barton was seriously injured while pretending to catch Beradin. If we work together with Deepus, we can catch enough.’
Blazing…
the blue flames filling Jin’s surroundings were disappearing.
When Tess’s summons were lifted, Kojek’s pressure eased.
Cut off the fire of Jin Runkandel!
Seizing the opportunity to escape, the commanding wizard cursed.
big! Soon, the chain of fire that bound Ko-Jek was broken.
When one chain was cut off, a chain of ripples began, and after a while, Ko-Jek removed all chains.
Wheein-!
Kojek’s magic power continued to howl.
It is to fly at full speed and get out of the battlefield at once.
Only the mana left to maintain the minimum ship shield. The wizards were pouring all their remaining magical energy into the mobile power unit.
It shows how hard the wizards are trying to get out of this nightmarish situation.
‘It’s an obvious handshake. It must have been quite urgent.’
Seeing the thinning of Ko-Jek’s protective shield, Jin thought.
Zipple had to focus more on protection than on mobility. Since Jin couldn’t re-open the final form of the annihilation, Amcheon, Fire, and Flame Jade, and Barton was injured, Runcandel lost most of its anti-aircraft combat capabilities.
So it was a good move to calmly escape.
However, wizards could not be sure that Jin would not be able to perform this level of magic again.
They do not know that Jin has started to reverse the magical power.
Mistakes made out of fear always cost a fortune.
As a result of being too conscious of Jin, Ziple couldn’t think of the 4th rider of Runcandel, who was very poisonous.
“I’ll kill them all, these rat-like bastards…!”
Auras were gathering towards Bolgar, the greatsword of Difus. Due to the infinitely condensed aura, a strange refraction occurred in the air. The aura that flowed through the meteor
shower greatsword
of the 3rd decisive battle of Runkandel
instantly soared into the sky and formed a pillar.
Worse still. There could be no words more succinctly and clearly expressing the situation Zipple is in now.
Deepus swung his greatsword down in a very large motion but with incredible speed.
As soon as the action was finished, sword meteors began to rain through the torn clouds.
If he had chosen a shield instead of full-speed flight, he could have minimized the damage.
There is no ship in the world that can move faster than the sword.
Kojek couldn’t fly away from Difus’ meteor shower even if he reached his maximum speed.
The bunch of sword energy pouring out at random was rather close to a natural disaster.
‘It’s been a long time since it’s a meteor shower.’
Compared to Luna’s meteor shower, it was clearly one step inferior in power.
Nevertheless, it was so powerful that the expression that it is absurd to think that it was unfolded by one human being came to mind.
Nanta.
As the name suggests, the sword energy pouring down like meteors was hitting Ko-Jek.
The shrieking screams of the wizards were drowned out by the din of Kojek’s hull breaking and mashing.
Some wizards could not withstand the shaking inside the hull and fell outside. I put a protective shield on my instinct to live, but it was just a meaningless struggle.
There were guardian knights on the ground.
The Guardian Knights butchered the bodies of the wizards before they even hit the ground.
Some uttered words of resentment mixed with curses, some screamed in agony, and some begged for their lives.
No prisoners were needed. This mission does not include the content of capturing prisoners.
Kwaduk Kwajik-! Pooh…!
Following the meteor shower, Barton’s sword was flying towards the bottom of the hull.
Barton’s swordsmanship was much weaker than before.
It wasn’t smoke.
In fact, Barton had spewed out too many auras earlier, and was even injured, so he was quite exhausted.
Of course, even if it was weakened, it was close to 9-star power, but it was not enough to land a decisive blow on Ko-Jek.
Difus did not brush up on Barton. Instead, he sharpened his knife inside. He said he would tear Barton to shreds after Kozek stepped down.
More than forty meteors have already struck Kojek’s hull.
However, the huge ship that could not even open the protective shield had not yet crashed. It seems to be falling at any moment, but it is not shot down.
Difus had to make a choice.
Do you keep trying to shoot down using more power or save your power in preparation for the battle with Barton?
Giving up the former was insanely wasteful.
‘If I complete Kojek and catch Beradin, the best major among jockeys this year will be mine. Not goddamn Joshua.’
Even if he shared the ball with Jin, there was a high probability of that happening.
But what if it fails?
It was a gamble. I couldn’t be sure that I could defeat Ko-Jek even if I played a decisive battle one more time.
Even if he was stubborn, he might fail to arrange his stamina and cause problems when dealing with Barton.
‘The youngest is right. The first priority is to achieve the given mission with certainty. It’s a pity, but I’m going to push it moderately and stop.’
Above all, if you don’t follow Jin’s opinion in this situation, and the situation goes wrong.
It seemed like it would buy Jin’s grudge. Even now, Jin recognizes himself as an ‘enemy’, but it was still a relationship where he could cooperate sometimes. like right now
But after you buy a grudge, the story will be different. The bar diphus he experienced today made this evaluation of Jin.
A guy who should never be turned into a perfect enemy.
‘Until we bring out Joshua, there will be many moments where we have to join forces with the youngest. For the time being, I must not disappoint the youngest.’
Having made the decision, Difus governed the Auror.
As a result, the power of the meteor shower was gradually waning.
The wizards lived to the point where they wanted to cheer.
Woo woo woong Cee Iik-! Kojek’s power unit heated up.
Seeing Kojek speeding up again after being broken like that, Deepus was able to realize once again that his choice was right.
I couldn’t break it anyway. Even if only 5 or more elite mages were on board, it would be impossible to completely destroy it with just a few rounds of Dipus’ decisive battle.
In the end, Kozek left the battlefield.
In an instant, Ko-Jek’s back figure became smaller like a dot.
Difus didn’t take his eyes off Kojek until the dot disappeared.
“Why did you stop attacking at the end? 4 riders.”
Barton asked.
“It’s because of the judgment that if we drive it into a corner, we might get a counterattack. Come to think of it, the next family head has arrived, but it doesn’t seem like there’s any safety devices. I felt like I couldn’t break it with my own strength anyway.”
Barton nodded his head pretending to understand.
Originally, Bentica had an ugly appearance with huge pits all over the land, but it was nothing compared to the desolate landscape after the battle.
“Good judgement. It’s a story that hurts my pride, but I’m not in good health, so it wouldn’t have been easy if I had been hit back.”
“You have worked hard, Sir Barton.”
Barton’s gaze reached Jin, who was sitting upright in the distance.
“By the way, I owe a huge debt to the 12th Horsemen… It’s been a long time since I’ve learned a lesson about being humble. At first, I was a bit uncomfortable with the 12th Horseman, but Sir Rosa’s insight is amazing.”
“I agree. If the youngest hadn’t been there, it would have been us, not Ziffle, who ran away.”
After finishing the sitting posture, Jin approached the two of them.
Barton watched Jin before asking for a handshake.
“Sorry for ignoring Horseman 12. Thanks to that, I was able to avoid the stain of mission failure.”
Jin looked down at Barton’s outstretched hand.
An uncomfortable air current flowed. It was unknown what kind of expression Barton was making under the black helmet.
Ten seconds passed, but Barton did not withdraw his outstretched hand.
“Will you take off your helmet?”
“That is impossible.”
“Tell me why.”
“You can see the black knight’s face starting with the 4th rider. Although it is true that I owe the Twelve Horsemen, it is not to the extent of breaking the law.”
“Originally, I would have felt infinite glory.”
“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
“A black helmet that was only allowed to ten of the numerous knights in the family. Wouldn’t it be an honor for the knight wearing the helmet to be the first to shake hands with me? But it doesn’t seem to be anymore.”
When the flow of the conversation suddenly changed, Barton withdrew his hand.
To make it easier to draw the sword.
“Somehow, it was strange that the 4th Horseman was saving his strength. Your real mission was to kill me, not secure the Ventica.”
Contrary to the expression of surprise, it was an extremely calm voice.
As if I knew that a day like this would come someday.
“Regardless of what reason he turned his back on the glory of Runkandel, he was definitely devoted to his family at one time. I will treat you with my own courtesy.”
