Chapter 734,
Chapter 184. It is deep beyond fate (6)
.
Even the tunnel in the imperial castle was shallow compared to this cliff.
Jin descended for almost a few minutes, but as the ground got closer, he felt two sensations at the same time.
The first was the feeling of being stabbed through one’s body like a knife, and the second was the feeling that the aura-generating organ was blocked.
It’s like being exposed to the ‘Aura Jammer’ created by Quaul and Valeria.
Right before landing, Jin stepped on the ground softly, offsetting the impact with his sword.
I was also caught up in one intuition. This place would be just ‘the first basement floor’.
‘I don’t know what floor Rosa is, but she must be on the lowest floor.’
I looked around and saw indigo lights in the distance.
Jin immediately recognized that the light, which was estimated to be close to twenty, was eye light.
The ferocious murder that spread from those pupils was visible.
“Please this time.”
Jin’s low voice spread through the cavity like the wind. This time, it was a completely different aura from the knights who had come out of the mausoleum so far.
“I wish I could be someone who deserves to be called an ancestor.”
The light of the eyes was getting closer. Jin also moved forward towards them.
‘Eleven people.’
The fact that all twenty-two pupils were indigo meant that they were all knights who had returned from the mausoleum.
As the distance drew closer, the outlines of the knights were revealed.
Jin, who looked at the costumes, recognized that they were one head and ten black knights.
However, unlike the black knights, the knights who were presumed to be family heads showed a slightly different appearance from the previous family heads.
‘Is your face covered in chains?’
A black chain was wrapped around his face. The sword he was holding was also an ordinary long sword that had been used the most by past family heads, so his identity could not be recognized with the weapon.
“This is Jockey 12 Gene Runcandel. Knights, please state your name.”
At those words, instead of the householder, a black knight opened his mouth.
[He came down alone.]
“You’re the captain of the Dark Knights, so you can’t speak?”
I could see the chain that bound the head of the family tree moving a little.
“Then let’s hold off on taking the life of the family head for a while. Everyone come in.”
Jin aimed his sword obliquely at the knights.
He felt the stifling sensation as if his aura-generating organs and blood vessels were clogged.
On the other hand, the knights of the mausoleum were not affected at all.
The knights were well aware of that fact.
But, nonetheless, they proceeded cautiously.
They never lost their awareness that Jin was not an opponent to be underestimated, even though the aura-generating organ was tied to it.
“If it’s burdensome, let me go first.”
Pan-!
The ground Jin was standing on exploded, and a sharp piercing sound arose.
The first thing his sword aimed at was the face of the family head. It is to cut off the chains covering the face.
However, the family head held up his sword and parried the blow, and the swords of the black knights flew towards Jin from all sides.
Spinning and pushing the two swords, Jin escaped through the gap and pushed the blade back into the face of the family head.
tick-!
A chain caught on the tip of the sword and fragments flew out.
Then, as Gazoo retreated behind the black knights, the light-speed thrust passed Jin’s ear.
A stream of hot blood flowed from his ear, but Jin was surrounded by doubt, not a sense of danger.
‘The housekeeper’s sword is sharp, but I don’t feel any murderous intent.’
It was all the responsibility of the Dark Knights to live life that pierced the skin. In other words, the family lord did not have the will to kill Jin.
‘Even so, each attack is clearly lethal…’
The patriarch is being manipulated.
Jin hypothesized such a situation. Someone is moving the family head’s body like a doll.
It had to be Rosa, of course.
This time, the black knight’s sword grazed Jin’s shoulder. One by one, residual scars were forming, but Jin did not lose his composure.
The interference with Aura creation must have been done through Rosa’s soulmate.
I can’t immediately find and break the device or link that realizes it, but it didn’t matter to Jin.
‘It’s good that you came down alone. The reason Rosa insists on using Aura Creation Interruption is to make it easier to kill other people, not me.’
Fundamentally, unless it completely destroys the auror organ, this kind of interruption is all that makes Jin uncomfortable for a while.
Kaaaa-!
When Jin let out a spirit, a shockwave spread along with a flashing light.
In the aftermath, the three black knights who rushed at it were bounced off, and the guard in the center of them took a backward step.
The blood vessels that had been blocked the whole time were being opened.
The reason why Jin didn’t bother to come from the beginning was because of doubts about the actions of Gazoo and Rosa.
“Building a castle, digging underground, shutting up the mouth of the old head of household, using distraction-like traps to come back… Your body keeps doing things that don’t suit you.”
Bradamante’s blade turned toward the sky, emitting white light.
Runkandel 3rd decisive battle meteor shower.
The sword energy formed in the air continued to rain underground like a tidal wave.
The Dark Knights lowered their stance and spread their swords to intercept the meteor shower, and in that instant, Jin penetrated their formation once again.
Squeak-!
A black knight’s right arm fell off, and a full-scale melee began. One and eleven swords mixed together, leaving behind complex afterimages in the darkness.
In the meantime, the meteor shower continued to hit the battlefield without stopping.
The terrain changed every time a piece of sword energy fell, and the dark knights always stepped one step later than Jin.
Only Gaju was reading the situation of the battlefield, which continued frantically at a speed almost similar to that of Jin.
I still couldn’t read the intent to kill in his azure eyes.
Rather, it seemed to harbor something like a desperate cry.
Apparently he didn’t want this fight.
“This swordsmanship is not yours.”
Runkandel’s sword has no special shape except for the decisive battle and the secret weapon.
However, Jin was reading a familiar flow from the sword used by the householder.
The flow of people who wielded their swords more recklessly than anyone else without having Runkandel’s body.
“Are you feeling nostalgic for your human days? bust.”
The family head’s sword matched Rosa’s swordsmanship exactly.
Rosa is controlling him.
There is only one reason why Rosa is ‘manipulating’ him.
‘The old head of household is fighting against the evil god.’
In his appearance, Jin saw both bitterness and a ray of hope for the Runkandel family.
‘Not all knights from the mausoleum are completely submissive to Rosa. There are people like this family head who are against the will of the evil spirit.’
The family lord didn’t say a single word, and he swung his sword to kill Jin without missing a single one.
Jin was reading one of Runkandel’s mindset that he hadn’t let go of.
Unbreakable even in the face of the will of the fighting god.
In the long and long history of Runkandel, a thousand years.
There can’t be only one person like this left.
If there were those who succumbed to the evil like Lionel or Senga, there had to be someone who did not collapse in the end. Like the old head of the household, who is burning his will more desperately than when he was alive.
It was only then that Jin recognized Rosa’s intentions.
‘Even the ancestors who fought to the end show that they can’t help it, and they probably want me to kill them all.’
Not only Rosa, but also the family head who is mixing Jin and the sword, wants his own death.
Because the only way out of being a humiliated doll is death.
It was better than being a puppet fighting for the sake of an evil spirit, even if it meant being tortured for eternity because the soul could not be freed even after death.
At that time, even if you can’t overcome the torture and your mind collapses, you will completely disappear from this world. It was a better thing than fighting for the one who stained the family.
Jin had no intention of going along with Rosa’s ugly intentions.
“I’ll release you soon, sir.”
Jin’s attitude towards the householder has changed.
The sword extended towards him became even fiercer, but that was only to break the chain that bound him as soon as possible.
However, the black knights were persistently biting Jin.
It was not possible to preserve the body of the family head to fight while unfolding the Myeongwang reign sword or similar secret skills.
Of course, there is no guarantee that Rosa will not take her soul or life from her even if she releases the bondage of the family head.
However, Jin wanted to break the chain and talk to him who was intact even for a moment.
I wanted to tell you that Seonjo fought honorably until the end.
And if possible, I wanted to save him and go through this hell together.
burst!
A chain wrapped around the head of the household was cut off.
His eyes brightened slightly.
At the same time, blood spurted from Jin’s shoulder.
It was the blade of the Black Knight Captain.
He didn’t dig deep, but if the blood continued to accumulate like this, even Jin could not help but slow down a little.
However, there were colleagues who jumped from the upper floors to the basement.
“jin!”
Hedo’s voice was heard.
Along with him, Bianca and Octavia were descending towards the battlefield.
10 minutes passed.
Even when they weren’t there, the war situation was flowing to Jin’s advantage, so the knights of the mausoleum had no choice but to fall into a more difficult battle.
Hedo’s sword and Octavia’s light magic attacked the black knights.
They, who were in the same camp not too long ago, showed a very well-matched look.
While the Black Knights flinched, Bianca took a position behind Jin. Because of this, the Black Knight captain had to block Bianca’s greatsword with the sword that Jin was about to stab.
For a while, Jin had time to focus solely on the householder.
Jin expected the fight to be rather long as Rosa was directly manipulating him.
However, the moment Jin pointed his sword at the chain, Gaju instantly released Rosa’s control.
The sword that was moving to cut Bradamante stopped for a moment.
‘It’s because I broke a few chains!’
It was the best and greatest result that the family owner could bring out by refusing to manipulate it, and Jin did not miss the opportunity.
Suak Cheolkkong-!
Finally, with a single blow, Jin was able to cut off the chain covering the face of the family head.
The head of the household, whose face was revealed, was a person Jin had heard of several times while studying the history of Runkandel in his previous life.
Alpen Runcandel.
He was the 20th head of Runkandel and was called the ‘Knight of Light’ in the past.
