Chapter 480,
Chapter 134. Duel on board (2)
Mary Mary Mary!
The already ripe atmosphere has now turned into a literal frenzy.
The inhabitants turned into spectators in the gladiator arena, and it was surely a once-in-a-lifetime fortune to witness such a fight up close.
‘This is great. This is how it felt…!’
The Pirate King and Privateer King Cosmos was experiencing his entire body being dyed with thrill and joy for the first time in a long time.
Since helping Jin in the operation to steal the compass three years ago, Cosmos has not held a single arena of competition. He always wandered the dark spaces of the sea as a wanted man.
‘If you think about it, the match between Jean Gray and Paul Mick was the best match of my life. Starting from today, it would be nice to be able to run a proper martial arts tournament with the support of Runkandel!’
Jin was more conscious of Cosmos looking up at him with moist and shining eyes, as if she would cry at any moment, rather than Mary’s provocation of slitting her neck with her thumb.
‘what? It’s a face that’s so emotional that it’s burdensome.’
Cosmos naturally closed her eyes and opened her mouth again.
“Zaaaaa! It was a merry mad merry! Then that! Opponent is-!”
As if they had promised in advance, Cosmos tried to introduce Jin, and the commotion in the audience died down at once.
And mysteriously, the decks that were connected were shining brightly, and the subordinates, who seemed to be executives, moved along the ropes between the masts and fired something like cannons toward the camp.
pop! pop!
What the cannon shot was a thick rope. A hook was attached to the end, and dozens of ropes tied with thick cloth and silk were connected to one branch, creating a bridge connecting the Tican and the ship.
This time, not only the audience, but also Jin and his co-workers, Mary, couldn’t help but admire Cosmos’ amazing direction.
‘I’ve felt it before, but I’m a person who doesn’t know why he was pirated with this ability.’
Jin looked down at the ropeway that led to his feet.
“I was the reserve rider of shock, the murderer of Archmage Kidard Hall, and the extraordinary lightning swordsman Bamal! The Contractor of Solderlet and the Black Dragon Murakan! The savior of the holy kingdom, the savior of the magical swordsman, Runcandel, and possibly the next head of Runcandel, the youngest 12 Horsemen… and the winner of the Cosmos Competition in 1796!”
I wanted to ask if there was something strange, but I wasn’t in the mood to do that.
Gene Runcandel! Gene Runcandel!
At the railing, one or two people shouted Jin’s name, and Cosmos hid his lips with his index finger.
Then, he paused and continued talking.
“…According to the rumors that have been floating around lately, as well as the stories of the tavern patrons and the latest meeting of various critic associations, knights’ leagues, and unmanned alliances. Recently he has been called by this name.”
There was no ‘representative’ tinnitus for Jin yet.
Contractor of shadows, magic swordsman hero, etc. There are many modifiers, but there is no title that just comes to mind.
“…I am introducing! The dark and sharp monster of the Black Star Runcandel! Hufester’s… Black Prince!”
Jin coughed involuntarily at that point, and Murakan pointed to Jin and his colleagues alternately, saying, ‘Black Prince, Black Prince! Ha ha ha ha ha ha!” and laughed like crazy. Fortunately, that laughter was drowned out by the ensuing drumming.
In fact, no one had called Jin the Black Prince until now.
It’s partly because Jin isn’t actually royalty or royalty, but the biggest reason is because of Joshua’s existence.
Crown Prince is a word that refers to the person who will become the next monarch.
There was Joshua, the next head of the family, but there weren’t many people in Hugh Fester who were brave enough to give Jin such a nickname.
In that sense, Cosmos was a very brave person, and he had a hunch. He said that the nickname he first gave, Black Prince, would become a noun symbolizing Jin throughout the world.
“Geeeeeein- Runkandeeell!”
As soon as the introduction is over, twice as much as Mary no. A loud roar from the three ships roared off the Tikan Sea.
Tikan was Jin’s base, and Cosmos’ introduction was so splendid that it was only natural that there would be a difference in response.
So Mary tugged at Cosmos’ ears while everyone was mesmerized by the sight of her little brother slowly descending the dazzling rope-and-silk path.
“Who are you taking care of, you bastard? Why is it that the introduction of the youngest guy is several times louder than me?”
“Ooh, my ears, ears, ears! Whoa! No, Captain! What if you blame me for that!?”
“what? This is crazy…”
“That silk road was originally prepared for the captain. But I just jumped down before the captain could shoot the silk road, and I had no choice but to use it on my younger brother.”
“hmm.”
“And do you really hate seeing your sister do well? All the way up to here, you were bragging about your little brother to the point of getting scabs in your ears!”
“Of course, it’s good that our youngest is doing well, but it feels odd.”
“Fufu, don’t worry though. If you win, this cosmos will explode with even bigger celebrations. I wish you the best of luck, Captain!”
Before long, Jin walked down the silk road and came down to the deck.
The warm cheers continued, but as Jin and Mary stared at each other, the airflow was getting heavier.
The audience enjoyed the tension and swallowed dry saliva, and the brother and sister were silent for a while.
“By the way, did Jonah that rat-sized guy go? Hey little thing!”
“Yes Murakan.”
“Who do you think will win? Make a bet on one. A thousand gold coins.”
“Isn’t a thousand gold coins a bit big for a bet?”
“Two thousand. Come to think of it, I have something to live for.”
“If there were no rules, I would have chosen Gongja Jin. But this situation… well. What is certain is that no matter who wins, the repercussions will be huge. Aren’t you the only one who sees?”
“The current generation of pure-blooded Runkandel fights have rarely been disclosed to the outside world. It will be a battle of dominance clearly to the public, but the loser may have more to lose than he thought.”
As Alisa added an explanation, Valkas nodded.
“Especially Mary Runkandel must have a lot to lose. Although she is a 7th Horseman, she is actually treated as a top-ranking Horseman, and there are many reviews that Sir Shiron is the Horseman who showed the most interest after Baekkyung.”
It was a story that everyone in the proper martial arts knew.
In fact, Chiron showed a lot of interest in Mary.
To the extent that he ‘directly’ passed on some of Runkandel’s secret techniques.
“And you, the ghost. Did you say that you don’t know what the outcome of the fight between the two of you will be?”
“Yes Sir Barkas.”
“I guess you’ve never seen Mary Runkandel’s sword in person. So don’t talk like that.”
“Isn’t Lord Balkas the one who didn’t see Confucius’ sword?”
“If it were me, I would definitely bet on Mary Runkandel. If the master confronts with a pure swordsman instead of a magic swordsman, there is no need to worry. never.”
“Okay then you two go to Mary. I bet the kid.”
Quickly, quickly!
While the bet was being exchanged, Merry opened her mouth first, spinning her chain sword in the air.
“Your nest is still under construction, maknae. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the entire Black King Sanchae is being moved to Tican. By the way, didn’t your loot, me and my brother Difus protect you from being attacked by dung flies?”
“I didn’t know, sister.”
“I also wanted to have a serious fight with the Black Kings at least once. When did this kid grow up like that? To the point of destroying the Black Kings alone.”
Are you alone?
Just as I was about to ask a question, Mary continued to talk behind her back with a proud face.
“Until last year, me and my older brother saved me from having trouble with the ziple wizards. Just like in the Garden of Swords, it’s like that in Black King Sanchae with the Myungwang Sword and the Magic Sword, right? In fact, this is the goal that Noona talked about a moment ago. It will far surpass you.”
There seemed to be a bit of a misunderstanding, but Mary never gave Jin a chance to speak.
Like a child who is starting to unfold a big goal for the first time, he is talking with excitement alone.
‘Somehow, when he met me from the beginning, his eyes seemed to be full of determination, but was there such a misunderstanding?’
Mary clenched her fists.
“I am the youngest.”
“Yes sister.”
“Even though most of the big skills are sealed in this duel, this older sister will do her best. So don’t mess with it either. If we don’t do it right, we’ll destroy the entire Tikan immediately.”
How do I fight Eoyoung and Booyoung against my sister? It is impossible in the first place.
Instead of answering like that, Jin decided to choose something else.
Now that it has become an unavoidable battle, as always, Jin is going to use what he does best.
The act of provoking and shaking the opponent to create gaps was one of the elements that Jin considered the most important in a fight.
“I understand, sister. But if you’re evaluating me that way, before we start fighting… isn’t there something we need to fix, sister?”
Mary’s eyebrows twitched once.
“What is it?”
The conversation so far had not reached the crowd as the two spoke in low voices close by.
But the next moment, Jin screamed so that everyone in the area could hear clearly.
“Take off the eyepatch!”
A loud cry echoed along the walls of the Tikan.
“…Yo sister.”
Murakan laughed again and scratched Mary’s stomach, and the crowd just stood still, confused as to whether they should laugh or not.
“You’re trying to understand a little why Jorden Dansuk cut off your arms in the past…”
Gooooh!
Literally in an instant, the shining auras of Merry’s chain sword ‘Viper’ gathered.
It was an incredibly dense aura that was formed so quickly.
‘This…!’
And as soon as Jin saw the pose, he immediately recognized what she was about to unleash with the first blow.
On the other hand, Mary smiled and showed off her secret skills, which she had further polished since the last time.
Runcandel’s 5th Secret Light
Speed Thrust
What Mary unleashed was the same sword she used to subdue Ozdok in the past.
‘No crazy! Seal the technology strong enough to destroy the fleet and fight…!’
I couldn’t even question whether the rider of Runkandel was changing his words so quickly or lying.
Mary’s viper is already rushing towards Jin.
