Chapter 369 Chapter
112. The reason why they are looking for Temar’s tomb (1)
‘Thanks to the armor, it’s much easier to erase one’s presence with aura.’
Again, the warriors were unable to react quickly to Jin’s movements.
It was partly because of Jin’s terrifying speed, but it was as difficult as feeling the shadow behind his back to read the presence that had faded with aura.
Shaak…!
As the blades of the Bement warriors stained with aura brightly lit up the son-in-law, fresh blood splattered once more. The drops of blood mixed with the particles of aura, giving it a muddy color.
‘It was shallow.’
Unlike the first time, I couldn’t kill him in one hit. Bradamante grazed the warrior’s neck vein and left a long, dark trail in the air.
However, the trajectory did not include a single element that could be called ‘flow’ or ‘sound’.
In other words, there was no such thing as the piercing sound that spreads when a blade cuts the wind, the weight that inevitably spreads when swinging a lump of iron.
Only a bleak aura hovered around the bleeding wound, as if a ghost had passed by.
In fact, the warriors mistakenly thought that the being that attacked them was a ghost.
There was no sign of rushing at a tremendous speed, and I couldn’t even see the blade moving.
It was not unreasonable for them to feel that way because they couldn’t see Jin’s figure even when the surroundings were bright because of their aura.
Where are you, where are you hiding?
The same sentence popped up in the minds of the Bement warriors.
At the same time, they all felt that their self-esteem as warriors was crumbling.
Even after being attacked, losing one person in a single blow, and almost losing another person in an additional attack that immediately followed.
The fact that they couldn’t immediately locate the assailant made them feel ashamed.
‘What is this…! Not Jin Runkandel, but the best killer of the unknown. Does that mean that he could become the Nameless King?’
To their extent of awareness, an attack of this level was only possible for the Unknown King.
The problem was not the nameless king, but the fact that it was Jin who had erased his presence as much as possible in the dark with his spirituality.
“Two by two!”
One of the Bement unmanned people tightened their stomach and screamed. He was the leader of the warriors gathered here.
Following the command of the leader, the warriors quickly paired up to guard both sides.
Even though they were killed with a single knife, they were also generally the best of the best in Bement.
‘It’s an imperial guard.’
Jin hides in the darkness of the forest and examines their clothes.
Golden epaulettes, like the symbol of the SS, shone from their shoulders. Their snow-white coats stained with drops of blood contrasted with Jin’s aura armor.
The captain stood in the middle of the unmanned people and looked at the darkness of the forest. to find Jin.
Cold sweat was already running down his chin. In addition to the extreme tension, the leader was already breathing fast due to the feeling of being bristled to the limit.
Indeed, he was a person worthy of being the leader of the Imperial Guard.
“Come out…!”
A leader aiming his sword precisely in the darkness where Jin is hiding. His men were completely unaware that Jin was hiding there.
In the dark, Jin moved slowly.
The guards who saw Jin’s appearance couldn’t help but be shocked. Because of Multa’s runes, aura armor, and darkness, Jin was in the shape of a shadow standing up.
“I am Rick Helter, the 5th squad leader of the Imperial Guard of the Daeviment Empire. Say your name.”
“Seeing you dare to reveal your affiliation, you must have been frightened.”
“…We are carrying out our mission under the command of His Majesty the Emperor. Whoever you are, I would like to ask you not to make a foolish choice to turn the entire empire into an enemy by interfering with the Royal Guard’s mission.”
“Are you kidding me?”
“We’ve come to see Gene Runkandel.”
Jin couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
“It’s been a long time since the world revealed that I’m a contractor of the shadows, but the Royal Guard, who are also the best intelligence agency in the imperial family, didn’t seem to know yet.”
Rick and his men’s eyes widened.
They were so nervous that they couldn’t even recognize the power that covered the sword that swung between them and the armor of the man in front of them.
They just thought the assassin had painted his armor black to blend in with the night.
Silence passed for a while.
In the meantime, the eyes of Rick Helter and his men, who were drenched in fear, changed to a murderous intent. There was no sight of his heart shaken by shame and humiliation, or the tip of his sword shaking with fear.
They are also guards.
Even though they misunderstood the opponent and showed a clumsy appearance, they were humans who never backed down when their goal became clear.
The moment they were first attacked by Jin, they weren’t afraid of the ‘unknown opponent’ per se.
I was afraid that I almost couldn’t carry out the emperor’s order because I was killed by a third person.
“What were you going to do when you met me? will kill Or will you offer to negotiate?”
When encountering Jin Runkandel, the SS’s first priority was to capture him alive.
And Rick could understand right away. Capturing Jin Runkandel alive with these six is nothing.
‘No, even if there were sixty members of the SS instead of six, it would be impossible to capture him alive.’
Riggedly, Rick gritted his teeth.
“…hit it!”
His subordinates quickly surrounded Jin.
Rick pushed through the middle and swung the curved sword with all his might, and at the same time the encirclement closed and knives flew from all sides.
The SS naturally expected Jin to avoid the attack. He said he would dodge three of them, knock out two, and counterattack.
However, Jin stood tall and did not avoid their blades.
Kang Caang-!
Reiki armor has no seams. Nonetheless, Rick and his men instinctively cut through the seams of the plain armor, but in return was a hollow rupture as the blade bounced.
Jin even grabbed a blade that came in from the left side with his hand.
The blade that was about to come loose scratched the gauntlet. Jin pulled it as it was, and the SS who could not let go of their weapons had no choice but to be dragged away defenselessly.
hooked!
Bradamante pierced his chest.
‘four.’
Marks were left where the curved sword hit the aura armor. The part where Rick Helter’s curved sword touched was cut deep enough to barely hide his skin.
However, like the super-speedy regeneration of top-level monsters, the fan part healed in an instant. The aura emanating from Jin is regenerating the armor.
The fighting spirit was not broken, but even the guards couldn’t help but feel fed up at this point.
Whoa!
“Kuk!”
“Ugh!”
The guardsmen closed their eyes tightly and groaned.
flash cannon.
The ancient light magic left behind by Chenmi was even more dramatic in the dark. Especially if it’s the moment when you’re crushing your opponent like this.
Sak-!
Once again, the blood drew an arch in the air.
An extremely brief moment, commonly expressed as a blink of an eye, is a gap that can sufficiently determine victory or defeat among unarmed people who have reached the state.
So, in order to survive even after closing your eyes and walking backwards in front of Jin, you had to have a great luck or a person with enough skills that even Jin would stick out his tongue.
This time, two people got hit at once. It was the personnel facing the flash cannon head-on.
‘two.’
Rick and only one subordinate. All that was left was them.
They again distanced themselves from Jin and were desperately trying to come up with a way to overcome this situation.
It was not difficult to draw conclusions.
There is no way.
But admitting it wasn’t easy. The fact that I had to give up my life as a human being so helplessly unable to do anything.
The guards are never weak. They were people who could be called strong enough in the world of warriors.
However, the SS guards’ misfortune was that Jin was now a person who had begun to stand on a completely different level from ordinary strongmen.
It might have been possible to fight in a slightly less futile manner if the forest had been risked to be damaged and had conducted destructive checkups unique to the SS from the beginning.
They no longer had a choice.
It was impossible to escape, and it was impossible to fight and win.
They were never trained to beg for their lives like dogs, and Jin and they met to kill each other in the first place.
If there is one thing that is the most fair for everyone in the world of unmanned people, it is. It was that he could choose his own attitude to accept defeat and death.
Suddenly, Rick and his men turned around. Even though I didn’t dare to show my back.
“Your Majesty, please forgive my disloyalty in accepting death first without completing my mission.”
They turned around to raise their swords toward Emperor Beamont for the last time.
If Jin had made up his mind to kill them when they turned their backs, he could have finished them off easier than blowing their noses.
“If possible, I would like to enjoy the honor of serving Your Majesty even after death.”
But I decided to respect it. It was not difficult to show that much mercy to someone with no personal grudge.
‘Is Emperor Bement’s leadership great or is the imperial family’s brainwashing ability excellent? What a great loyalty.’
Turning back, Rick and his men straightened their postures.
“Thank you, Gene Runcandel. Thanks to that, I was able to say my last greetings to His Majesty as a Knight of the SS.”
“Are you done?”
Rick nodded. He smiled incomprehensibly, but Jin didn’t care and aimed at Bradamante.
visor-!
The blades of Jin and the guards collided.
Rick’s one remaining subordinate met his end without even being able to touch Jin’s armor during the 15 battles that followed.
The leader, Rick, was certainly skilled in swordsmanship several levels higher than his subordinates, but it was nothing compared to Jin.
“Heh heck heck…!”
After hundreds of workshops, Rick was gasping for breath with scars all over his body. There were many fatal injuries and he was bleeding so much that he would die soon if he stayed.
dump!
Finally, Rick got down on one knee. With this body, I couldn’t continue the fight any longer.
Jin looks down at him with indifferent eyes.
“There will be nothing more to say.”
Rick shuddered, not answering. Jin didn’t know if he was feeling the cold because of the bleeding or if he was really afraid of dying again at the end.
Spark…
Instead, right after he slit Rick’s throat, he realized why he was trembling.
Something sinister was beginning to change inside Rick’s body.
‘The blood is drawing a magic circle…!?’
The blood flowing from Rick’s body formed a strange magic circle on the floor.
Looking back, not only Rick, but also the blood of the fallen bodyguards were drawing the same magic circle on the floor.
“This is Jin…”
Valeria felt strange and ran to Jin’s side.
“I’m not sure, but it’s a magic circle that transforms the body.”
