Chapter 631 Chapter
162. Smarion Proch (3)
About 500 Aura Jammers.
Over the past two and a half years, Quawl determined that the performance of the jammer and related artifacts had been raised to a level close to the limit, and there were numerous tests before that conclusion was drawn.
To date, no comrade has survived five hundred jammers.
In the first place, there was no need to go up to 500, and even Valkas and Quikantel could not use their aura properly while handling more than 200 jammers.
But now Jin was not affected by the jammer.
Rather, as soon as the jammer was opened, it spread a tremendous aura and even covered all the people waiting outside the battlefield with a new shield.
Just like how Lon Hi-Lan protected people from chaos in the Temple of the Emperor.
‘Ignoring all blockers and granting individual shields to hundreds of people is something that can never be done with just 10 or more energy… It’s not in the realm of humans. You came back as a monster, Jin.’
Quikantel involuntarily swallowed dry saliva.
Even for her, who remembered Murakan’s heyday, Jin’s inaction was shocking enough.
In a way, I also thought that Jin had already become more terrifying than Murakan at that time.
At this rate of growth, his combat power would reach Murakan sooner or later, but his judgment and insight were no longer the possessions of young humans.
Fuzz-!
Suddenly, a blue glow spread across the battlefield.
After the battle started, Smarion’s energy, which had been superior to Jin throughout, was being eaten up by the Aura and Brain Machine.
[You treat this body like a beast. It’s not a fight, it’s a hunt?]
Smarion showed a displeased expression and fired a sword towards his colleagues.
However, the sword seemed to disintegrate in the air before reaching the shields of his comrades.
It was offset by the energy of Jin that spread in layers.
“You’d better focus on me. Attempts to threaten me through those outside will work against you.”
Smarion widens his eyes.
Now he couldn’t see the composure he showed in the beginning, and Jin had a calm face like the first time.
What Jin said was true. Taking colleagues as hostages in a state where he couldn’t handle Jin properly right now was an effective method only until he ‘arrived’ at Guigoksaeseong.
Jin wondered why Smarion hadn’t done that. It was not a sufficient explanation to say that it was only to realize the desire to fight Shiron or a human of that kind.
‘Maybe it’s the result of Smarion resisting demonic nature. The fact that my comrades haven’t died until I arrive.’
It wasn’t a situation where I could have a calm conversation about him.
Whether or not the fact that the comrades are safe is the result of Smarion resisting demonic nature. There was no change in the fact that he had to be subdued.
Even if it was the former, it would be the result that Smarion’s last humanity, which remained in demonic nature, desperately desired.
[It’s been a while since I’ve been out in the world, so it seems I’ve looked down on you too much.]
Squeak-!
An afterimage was left where Jin stood. At the same time, Smarion’s twin swords broke again, and he smashed Jin’s sword that was digging into his chest with his bare fists.
A roar spread from the clashing fists of Bradamante and Smarion.
Colleagues were shuddering at the heavy shock transmitted through the power of time and various protective shields such as the brother guardian and the shielding shield.
As they began to speed up each other, the scars on Smarion’s body increased rapidly.
Jin didn’t allow a single effective hit after the jammer was deployed.
Before long, Smarion changed his tactics.
‘All attacks have become heavy. I can’t win if I drag out time, so are you trying to cut me down somehow?’
The workshops of top-notch artists have no choice but to be delicate and accurate.
Even if most of Smarion’s enlightenment as a warrior that he gained during his days as a ghost captain was wet with demonic nature, his sword still had the unique skill of a transcendentalist.
However, Smarion is trying to break even the remaining tricks himself. As soon as he decided that a head-to-head match was impossible, he chose Dongguijin’s sword.
[Haha!]
Bradamante pierced Smarion’s left shoulder.
At the same time, Smarion also extended the sword held in his right hand and struck Jin’s chest.
The blade penetrated the aura armor and dug into Jin’s chest as much as a finger.
Its blade bears the decades of chaos that Smarion has built up.
A turbid energy incomparable to any poison in the world spread through Jin’s body in an instant.
As Smarion, of course, he expected Jin to back down in panic.
I knew how to vomit blood, bend my back, and struggle to release the chaos that had somehow entered my body.
However, Jin didn’t care and exploded the sword stuck in Smarion’s shoulder. without the slightest hint of bewilderment.
Jin is a member of the Ming Dynasty. Through this training, they went beyond the concept of being brothers as human beings and came to have almost the same characteristics as them physically.
Unless it’s the first chaos or equivalent power that Heluram uses directly. All sorts of ‘general chaos’ in the world could no longer affect him. no matter how big and thick it is.
[This is absurd… What is your true identity?]
The last remaining aim didn’t work.
Spreading the distance, Smarion let go of his left arm and gasped for breath. As soon as the aura armor was pierced, all the energy was concentrated, but Jin was not hurt, let alone tired.
If he managed to deal with Jin somehow, he would have been able to escape and plan for the future even if he had only 10% of his remaining strength.
But in fact, the fight is already over.
Smarion couldn’t think of any other way to threaten Jin. Even now, it was obviously impossible to take his colleagues hostage, and there was no answer to escape.
“You looked at me and found my father.”
Jin slowly moves towards Smarion.
Smarion was desperate and sprayed his sword, but Jin showed a difference in rank by lightly shedding or slashing all of them.
“When you were the captain of the ghost, you must have been much stronger than you are now, but you couldn’t be my father’s opponent.”
The fact that the ghost captain Smarion Froch was stronger than now, soaked in demonic nature, was only possible because it was Jin.
Unless you are a transcendental person of the Jin level, you can never think that way. It is because there is an area that can never be reached by filling the demonic nature inside instead of absolute composure. Even if the power is much greater.
“But why is Shiron Runkandel my father? I wondered why they kept you alive in those days.”
-Your lord probably doesn’t even know that my father ever had a fight with Sir Shiron.
-My father and the former ghost captain…?
– I couldn’t even see it myself. It was before I was even born. However, the fight lasted all day, and in the end the victory belonged to Lord Shiron, but for some reason he did not take his father’s head.
Although Smarion, the captain of the demons, was strong enough to fight Shiron for ‘a day’ at that time, his demonic nature was not controlled, and even after losing the battle, the ghost squad did not give their allegiance to Runcandel.
However, Shiron rather often visited the hometown and looked after Smarion.
“After mixing swords with you, I have a vague idea of why my father did that.”
[What are you talking about?]
“My father would have respected the fact that you were resisting chaos.”
Resistance to chaos and respect for it.
If you think about it, there were many strange points in the fight between Jin and Smarion from the beginning.
Smarion had been able to open the seal and come out at any time long before Jin arrived.
Thus, Smarion could annihilate the humans who surrounded him at any time until Jin arrived. Even if most of Tikan’s strongmen were on standby, they would not be able to compete with Smarion.
But Smarion did not do that. Saying that I was waiting for someone like Shiron.
A few times, the chaos of Smarion exploded and made the whole area a mess, and casualties occurred in the process, but there was no decisive damage to the Tikan side.
It was only after Jin appeared that Smarion focused all his chaos and intent to kill on him.
No matter how Jin thought it, he felt that there was no reason for Smarion to do that.
That is, except for the premise that ‘Smarion resisted demonic nature in order not to kill people’.
“I decided to judge that you resisted chaos before I came. It must be because of him that your sword has been so blunt all along and that the Froch brothers and sisters and my people did not die.”
In other words, Jin assumed that Smarion would let go of the last string of resistance as soon as a being capable of ‘killing him’ appeared.
[He speaks arrogant bullshit well, maybe because he’s Shiron’s blood.]
“So, I’d like to pay my respects before ending the fight. Not the monster of chaos standing in front of me right now, but the human Smarion Froch, who defended the ghost castle alone from the chaos until yesterday.”
Woowook…!
Suddenly, the aura and brain energy that covered the battlefield disappeared.
The Takgi of Smarion, which they had tied up, also disappeared.
The battlefield, which had been confused by the mixing of forces, became quiet in an instant, and it was Jin’s aura that began to fill the spaces again.
Within it, chaos rose like an awl a few times, but it seemed like it was sinking into aura like a stone thrown into the sea.
[Damn it…]
Jin stopped and aimed Bradamante at Smarion.
There was no need to unleash the Spirit Sword ultimate.
As gently as closing the eyes of a dead person, Bradamante penetrated Smarion’s chest.
Smarion flinched once and grabbed the blade, and Jin looked at his red eyes that were slowly disappearing.
Smarion’s eyes were not looking at Jin, who had stabbed him, but at the darkness beyond, stained with aura.
In a life stained with madness and chaos, the only warm memory was the time he held Lata and Fay. Even that ended up being years of abuse and violence towards each other.
Smarion was not sentimental as he recalled that time.
As Jin expected, the moment he arrived, Smarion lost his will as the last remaining human.
It was just a coincidence that Smarion focused on her children, or it was like human Smarion’s rigor after death.
However, in Jin’s eyes, it seemed like the fateful result of Smarion’s resistance to chaos.
“Goodbye, Lord Smarion.”
Eventually, the fallen Smarion became particles and scattered among the auras that filled the battlefield, and Jin paid a moment of silence where he stood.
