Basement 2nd floor.
As soon as the five people, including Jin, finished the descent, the air felt stuffy.
On the second basement floor, the aura that interfered with the creation of aura and magic was much amplified.
“It’s… worse than what Alpen said earlier.”
Bianca said as she repeatedly formed an aura on her greatsword and then canceled it. The energy on the greatsword was only at 70% of normal.
The rest of the crew was in a similar situation.
The same was true of Alpen, who was not affected at all until the chain was broken.
“Your senses seem to have dulled a bit.”
“It’s not just a feeling, it’s actually dulled, Captain Wraith. It’s insignificant, but I mean it.”
At Hedo’s reply, Octavia sighed inwardly.
Not only was it not enough to separate him from his allies, but he was also having problems with his personal inaction, so he had no choice but to feel burdened.
[Certainly, it’s twice as bad as I was aware of.]
“Maybe the reason why Aura’s obstruction got worse is because Lord Alpen was released from the control of the evil spirit.”
[Instead of losing the energy that was used to manipulate me, I should have been able to afford that much, so I strengthened the interference with the aura?]
“That’s right.”
[It makes sense.]
There was no way for the party to directly confirm, but Jin’s guess was correct.
However, if there was one thing that was overlooked, it was Tasha’s existence.
Not only in Alpen, but Tasha was also released from bondage by the allies, so it was only natural that the interference had become so severe.
No matter what happens, you have no choice but to move forward. Jin reminded the party of that fact again.
This time, it was just an infinitely dark and vast space.
The party moved silently for a while as if they were on the desert.
It wasn’t until the party stopped counting steps that I started to see something.
In the distance, the outline of what appeared to be a person was revealed.
‘This time it’s five…’
As the distance got closer, the exact number of heads was revealed.
The fact that the number of people was the same, as if it was deliberately set, made the party feel uncomfortable for a while.
[Come on.]
The knight standing in the middle opened his mouth.
Seeing the twin swords hanging from the knight’s waist, Jin immediately recognized him.
‘I am Leon Runcandel, the 16th family head. The great sword must be the 29th housekeeper, Tucker Runcandel, and the chain sword must be the 35th housekeeper Nef Runcandel.’
On the other hand, unlike the three, the other two were unrecognizable as they possessed ordinary long swords.
If their faces were exposed, they would be able to recognize them by contrasting their memories with the portraits they had seen in the past, but the chains were covering their faces.
In other words, there were only two of them that Jin would respect.
“The poor descendants meet the two ancestors. Please hold out a little longer. I will release you soon.”
[Do you think you can save these two people here like the 20-year-old standing there?]
“That will be the case, Leon.”
hook-!
Suddenly, Leon’s sword cut the left arm of the family head next to him.
He was the head of a chain. Gajoo, whose arm fell off, did not respond like a doll.
Jin narrowed his brows and glared at Leon.
[Gaju is absolute. It’s a law that hasn’t changed since the day the family started. Those who break the law, like Izana and you, are not needed by the family. No matter how good they are, they only muddy the water. You are undermining the authority of the current head of the house, Rosa Runkandel. Stop it right now.]
Cheeing!
A flash of light flew into Leon’s chest. It was a sword shot by Alpen.
Rion slashed the sword with her hand and looked at Alpen.
[When I was young, my heart skipped a beat when I heard about my great-great-grandfather’s heroic story from the long-time family members. I saw today that it was all lies…. Authority? What kind of authority does the monster who brought the family to this point have!]
[You in your 20s were called the Knight of Light and led an unprecedentedly great war to victory. It would have been very nice to have followed the family head’s wishes while retaining those achievements.]
[Shut up, I have to pay the price for my dirty memories today. All those without chains will perish.]
Jin confirmed that Leone did not attack Gazoo again, who had cut his arm.
‘I left my right arm that uses the sword. Cutting off his left arm was just an intention to provoke us, and I don’t really intend to seriously lose power by killing the family head.’
If so, it meant that both of the chained family heads could be saved.
oh to oh
It is natural to fight one by one.
Jin had chosen his opponent from the moment Leon cut off the left arm of the family member next to him.
‘I’ll deal with the family head whose arm hasn’t been cut off and rescue him as intact as possible, and Sir Alpen will take charge of Leone.’
While Jean thought, Bianca kept her eyes on Tucker’s greatsword.
“Jin… I… Hey… I want to deal with the great sword…”
“And Sir Hedo, please deal with the 35th head of the family who uses a chain sword. Octavia, take care of the ancestor who lost his left arm.”
Jin thought Octavia was the weakest among the five.
If she had the Wraiths or was strengthened by the demon stone, she had to take on the weakest opponent for now.
“However, never kill your ancestors. If you release the chains, he will become your ally.”
“Let’s try.”
“It’s not an effort, it’s a must.”
otherwise i will kill you
Jin didn’t say that behind the scenes, but Octavia felt a momentary chill on her back and clenched her teeth.
The framing has been completed.
Long words were not necessary. There was no risk of anyone being caught and hurt, so it was enough to stick together until one side was dead.
It was the meteor shower of Jin’s Runkandel 3rd decisive battle that announced the start of the battle. Pure white swords were falling through the dark air.
The former family heads scattered left and right to avoid the meteor shower.
Every time the sword of the meteor shower hit the ground, an earthquake occurred and a heavy shock wave spread.
Even before the meteor shower reached the middle, the family’s decisive battle continued in various places.
It was only natural that there were only six people who were the head of Runcandel and even Jin.
If this was a normal castle.
Most of the buildings would have been completely destroyed before the first minute of the battle.
From a distance, their fight was no different from a natural disaster.
In terms of power, the previous family heads seemed to have the upper hand.
Jin and the others had limitations on energy generation, so it was unavoidable.
The previous family heads were using not only the Aura but also the matrimonial period at will.
A black storm swept over those who fought tirelessly.
Only Jin and his party were hit by that marriage period. Each of them could not properly avoid the marriage period if they were to completely bind their opponents to themselves.
The party was doing their best without a search battle.
As soon as possible, each had to lead the battle in a way that defeated the opponent and supported the other side.
‘The reason why the 12th Horseman made me fight with Lee is that he lost his left arm, so he must have judged that his power was inevitably low, but it was a mistake.’
Octavia thought as she took the sword of the previous family head.
Even if you are right-handed, not being able to use both hands is obviously a fatal limitation.
However, Octavia’s opponent was using a sharper and sharper sword than the other family heads.
There was a clear difference in level that even Octavia, the magician, could see.
Soon Octavia could understand why.
‘…Iza is not fighting with his own skills right now. It must be that the controller’s swordsmanship has reached such a level. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have one arm. I don’t know if that’s possible.’
Every moment, a blow so sharp as to be terrifying pierced through the body.
Perhaps it was because her inner world had deepened, Rosa was controlling the previous family head more delicately than in Alpen.
Jin was also aware of that fact.
He, too, is feeling it while mixing swords with his opponent.
‘I should have put Lord Hedo over there, not Octavia. At this rate, it is only a matter of time before Octavia suffers. I have no choice but to defeat and help my ancestors as soon as possible.’
The moment Jin thought that far, he heard Hedo’s voice.
“jin! Don’t worry, Captain Wraith, I’ll support you!”
“I will… help… as much as I can… see!”
Fortunately, there was a gap between Hedo and the 35th and Bianca and the 29th.
Alpen and Leon were so close that even Jin couldn’t guess.
Soon, Jin fixed his gaze on his opponent.
It seemed that Runcandel’s shining eyes could be seen under the chains of the bust.
“What is the reason you keep insulting your ancestors like this? You have to chain it up and force it, so in the end, like Sir Alpen, they will point their swords at you again. You can take the body, but you cannot corrupt the soul.”
Sak!
Blood flowed from Jin and the back of his opponent’s hands at the same time. The swords that stabbed each other grazed.
The two of them rotated their bodies to their right sides and fired sword skills.
“If the soul is not good, even the body. Do you even want to have the real Runcandels?”
Blazing…!
Bradamante was enveloped in weak magic power, creating blue flames.
Eternal fire, a fire that cannot be put out by anything.
“Your Runkandel is not justified. That’s why you can’t move the fittest without tying them with chains. In my view, the four chains that control the ancestors are the result of such deficiency and shame. You pretend to be a god, but in fact you are still a weak and ugly human being.”
Even if you take a family line with dirty power, oppress people with fear, build a huge castle, and show off your power as if you’re ready to destroy the whole world at any time.
No matter how much you try to cover your true face…
the essence is not covered.
Every time Jin continued talking, a loophole was forming in the opponent’s swordsmanship.
The swordsmanship, which could have been flawless even without one arm, was gradually crumbling.
Conversely, Jin’s sword embraced deeper and more transparent fire.
Span by span, the eternal flower was getting closer to the chain.
A flawed sword cannot prevent the fire from approaching. I could only hold on and hold on and delay the sword from reaching the chain.
The battle between Jin and the opponent continued until the roar that filled the battlefield died down.
Because Jin was absorbed in his fight, he did not even know how much time had passed.
However, what we can know for sure is that Bradamante, who has been stained with eternalization, has finally touched the chain that entwine the opponent.
Iron spatula…!
With the sound of the chain breaking, Jin looked into the other person’s eyes.
I thought I should greet the ancestors who had barely regained their bodies.
However, the face of the opponent revealed when the chain was broken was not the old head of Runcandel.
“Rosa!?”
Chest God Rosa.
The chain was covering her in human form.
