Chapter 658 Chapter
167. Temar’s Fifth Tomb (2)
Jin’s pupils widened.
“Runtia… sister?”
He never imagined that he would encounter Runtia and not Valeria here. The throbbing feeling of finally finding traces of Valeria quickly turned into unpleasant anxiety like rancid oil.
“Why is your sister here?”
Runtia’s favorite sword, the three-sword Charles, was shining with black chaos. Jin couldn’t help but stare at his second sister for a few seconds, like a person who had gone crazy.
Runtia also looked at Jin in silence for a while. It was not easy to read what emotions were contained in her darkened eyes.
On the other hand, Runtia was clearly recognizing Jin’s feelings.
[It seems that you don’t like me appearing in front of you right now.]
Jin kept repeating Runtia’s words and involuntarily lowered his head.
A very strange and terrible pain that he had never experienced in his entire life was scratching inside Jin.
the sorrow of losing a family member.
that kind of pain
The fact that Runtia would be stained with chaos was already expected. However, Jin hoped that the complete encroachment would not end.
Jin raised his head again and looked at the black horn on his sister’s forehead. She has already crossed a river of no return.
“I trusted my sister.”
[Did that level of trust exist between you and me?]
Runtia had never been close to any of her brothers.
She believed that only Luna gave meaning to her life. I wanted to pursue my sister for the rest of my life because it was okay not only to win in the competition with her sister, but also to lose in the end.
So, after Luna gave up her position as the next head of the family at the age of nineteen, Runtia’s world was just a meaningless, achromatic continuation.
It was 1799 when Runtia started to have fire in her heart again.
It was the very day Jin made the declaration.
At that time, the incident between Jin and Runtia was very far from the act of strengthening brotherly friendship. They risked each other’s lives and fought until one fell.
Moreover, after the incident, the two did not have a long conversation otherwise.
-I will also become the head of household.
– I thought there were only idiots, but there are real ones. Let’s do well, sister.
That was all, but at that moment, Jin felt a deep bond formed between himself and Runtia.
I felt like I had been living like everyone else all my life, but with just one fight, we finally became brothers with the same dream.
Runtia thought so too.
That’s why Jin believed that Runtia would keep the Prophet in check before going to Lapla Rosa for the third time.
“Did Rosa and the Prophet find a weakness?”
There is no way that Runtia accepted chaos voluntarily. Jin was convinced that Rosa and the Prophet’s cunning had defeated her.
At those words, Runtia touched her horns with a sharp smile like a crescent moon.
[If you answer yes, what will be different?]
“There must be something I can help you with.”
[Haha… I wonder if the 12th horseman I knew is right. You’re making a cracking sound. Calm down, Jean Runcandel. my youngest brother Now I stand here as your enemy.]
Runtia slowly raised her sword Charles and aimed at Jin.
[It means that all you have to do is fight back. I have been waiting for this moment for quite some time. The moment when I can compete with you again.]
Runtia’s black eyes, which were hard to read the whole time, harbored a glint of life.
Simma’s madness.
Although it was possible to have a conversation as if there was reason, Runtia was completely engulfed in chaos. A deep and fierce intent to kill was already piercing Jin through Charles’ sword tip.
Jin decided to control his heart. It was not an opponent that I could fight while being swayed by sadness, pain, or some sort of guilt.
It is an unavoidable fight. Then, for Runtia’s sake, it was right to end it as quickly as possible. To save Valeria, who was probably beaten by Runtia.
Gradually, Jin’s eyes hardened. Runtia nodded as if she was satisfied with Jin’s appearance.
[Yes, it should come out like that. But you’re the youngest… You’re pretty tired.]
Cheeong-!
Suddenly, Runtia thrust out her sword and Jin stepped aside.
It was a stabbing that put Jin in danger of death from the first blow at the time of the declaration of the state. Runtia’s sword was achieving a much higher level of achievement than at that time.
[Nevertheless, it has become mysteriously strong again. Thanks to you, my boring fate will be a little more enjoyable. When I first fought with you in the past, I also had many limitations. I think the fact that you reached me while exhausted was worth it at that time.]
Even though Runtia was tainted with chaos, she had not lost her status as a warrior who had reached transcendence. As is the case with characters like Stam and Padler Rosa.
The starting aspect was that Runtia was pushing Jin. Her sword energy surrounded Jin, leaving cracks and sharp afterimages everywhere in the dark subspace.
‘strong. More than Lionel Runkandel.’
It even made me think that, in some ways, it was more tricky than when Lionel and Stam were pincers.
It was because she ‘dominated’ this sub-space beyond the size or class of her power.
Charles’ attack trajectory is not a straight line. Every time Charles moved, the subspace was twisted and the trajectory was randomly changing according to Runtia’s will.
Shem Jin, who was dealing not with Runtia but with the entire subspace, quickly recognized that fact.
‘Is that why, when I first entered this place, unlike other tombs, I didn’t feel as if the aura was guiding me. Because Sister Runtia is in control of the entire tomb?’
Drops of blood flowed from the four or five open wounds. At least it was Jin, so he only suffered that much and recognized the characteristics of Runtia and subspace.
Fuzz!
A ray of blue thunderbolt spread from Sigmund and tore through the chaos sword. And at the same time, the two unfolded their family secrets.
Brainstorm and Chaos The 5th Secret Skill, Light Speed Thrust, strengthened by each ability. The two swords stretched out against each other seemed to pierce each other’s chest.
However, the two had predicted each other’s sword in advance, and were stepping in opposite directions accordingly.
The entire subspace was divided in half. The two sword spirits stretched past each other and pounded the far end of the subspace in vain.
Runtia looked at the end for a moment, but Jin didn’t.
[Do you remember? The day I first met your brainchild, I protected countless articles from you. It still has a role to protect the family from you.]
“…How did you get in here?”
[Isn’t this an obvious story?]
“I understand that the Prophet played some trick. However, this space was originally prepared for me. It’s hard to understand why Solderlet’s subspace treats you as if it were its owner.”
[It is also the same. But I think there are other things you’re really curious about.]
“After Hester defeats sister, I’ll find out on my own.”
[You assume that the red-haired woman is alive.]
“It doesn’t seem like she completely controls the space, Sister Runtia. Didn’t you know that Hester’s magic remained in subspace?”
At those words, Runtia narrowed her brows.
[Whoa, if that’s true, that’s pretty interesting. Remaining magic means that the caster is still alive. I knew that the woman was hiding here somewhere. I was sure he would have died by now.]
“Is it because your sister seriously injured Heister?”
Runtia nodded.
[It did. If the woman is alive, it’s most likely the result of accepting chaos. It was impossible to survive without that level of regenerative power.]
Jin didn’t react sensitively to those words.
“That won’t happen, sister. If that was the case, the magic I saw should have already been tainted with soul spirit. Anyway, thank you. It made me even more certain that Heister was alive.”
[Is the only thing left to do now is to defeat me and save that woman?]
After saying that, Runtia showed displeasure for the first time.
[You and Luna unnie are always like that. They always mistakenly think that they can defeat their opponents and get what they want in any situation.]
“Actually, it has always been that way. Nothing will be different this time.”
In line with Runtia’s anger, subspace began to vibrate. Jin couldn’t tell if the reason for her sudden outburst was madness or something else.
Ever since I decided to regain my composure.
Runtia’s words did not hurt Jin in any way. Because none of these words are spoken by the ‘real Runtia Runkandel’.
Even Ron Hyran had resented Jin in the abyss of Gleec.
“I will soon stop the madness that engulfed you.”
Auras gathered in Jin’s optical heart.
‘It is disadvantageous to prolong the battle.’
In the first place, Jin started the battle exhausted, while Runtia was in perfect condition. In addition, she uses the entire subspace as her own energy, and even if she is injured, she shows a straight recovery through marriage.
If possible, it should be done at once.
‘I have to keep in mind the battle situation after exiting the sub-space… but for that matter, I think it’s better to trust Ziffle and Kinzelo.’
If you clumsily try to conserve your strength, you won’t be able to avoid serious injuries.
[You’re trying to unleash the sword of the day you declared the head of state…]
“Unlike then, there’s nothing for my sister to protect now.”
However, as before, this time too, my sister will not be able to accept this sword.
As Jin continued to talk behind his back and began to spread the King’s reigning sword, Runtia smiled.
