Chapter 738,
Chapter 184. Overcoming fate (10)
Jin swallowed his breath and his face was distorted.
A piece of chain fell from Rosa’s face in a frozen, slow motion.
‘Why on earth… Rosa!’
What the chain should have covered was the previous head of the family who deserved respect.
Jin has been fighting unfavorably on purpose with one single thought that he must save such an ancestor.
Even though he could have cut off his opponent’s breath several times, he gave up his chance and endured the moment when he could have inflicted a fatal wound.
That was the reason why I couldn’t help my colleagues who were struggling from behind my back and from the side.
All of that was an effort to save the ancestors who should have been in chains as intact as possible.
But the thing that was so hard to find was Rosa, the evil god.
Even with such a normal appearance…
Rosa, who was freed from bondage, did not shine with the soft indigo color of the others who came out of the mausoleum, nor was it grotesquely transformed like a monster of chaos.
Rosa is not just a human being.
It had an appearance that could be called Runkandel itself.
Long black hair that seemed to be sucked in, eyes that embraced the brilliance of willpower, a gaze that calmly and heavily pressured the person facing each other, and two hands tightly clasped as if they would never let go of the sword.
A knight who was the hostess of the family that led Runkandel on behalf of Shiron for a long time in the past and a giant of the era.
Rosa Runkandel was making eye contact with Jean.
Damn it!
Jin involuntarily spat out a curse word.
Breathing quickened, as if Shimma had visited for a moment.
Barely suppressing the rising nausea along with the cold dizziness, Jin reflexively widened his distance.
If the workshop continued like this, it seemed that I would make a mistake.
got hit
The first thought came to my mind. If it was a play designed to traumatize himself, it couldn’t have been more successful.
Allies were also shocked. It was to the point that for a moment, they were not looking at each other, but at Rosa.
‘You have to stay calm. This is just a ruse of the evil god. That human-looking Rosa… must be a kind of fragment created by the power of the evil god.’
Jin grabs the sword.
“Your bad taste has increased… Badass. I never thought he would do something like this to confuse me.”
But at Jin’s words, Rosa gave a completely unexpected answer.
“Isn’t it because you knew me that you were trying to save me?”
“…what?”
“Why do you call me a hypocrite?”
Once again, Jin couldn’t help but feel a twist in his stomach.
Even her voice, freed from her chains, did not have the resonance characteristic of resurrected people.
It was like a real living person.
He seemed like someone who was trying to protect Runkandel somehow.
My heart was beating like crazy.
“I am Rosa Runkandel. Why do you mistake the monster that has been holding me captive for the same person as me?”
“What are you talking about…”
“Jin!”
“12 riders!”
Hedo and Octavia’s urgent voices came from behind.
Shiit-!
At the same time, I felt a sharp energy piercing my back.
It was a sword that the enemy aimed at Jin.
Because Jin was focusing all his attention on Rosa, he reacted a little later than usual.
The blade of the sword grazed his back and blood spattered.
The wound is not deep.
The one who shot the sword was the one-armed former head of the family.
‘…No, did the former family head get hit?’
If you cut the chain, wouldn’t Rosa come out again?
An indescribable feeling of displeasure continued to disturb Jin’s brain.
I looked back while dodging the flying sword again and saw my tired allies.
Bianca was in a state where the 29th was almost dying, and Alpen and Leone were both in a mess, but there was no match.
Hedo was helping Octavia after ending the 35th.
While dealing with them at the same time, the one-armed family head was rather showing stronger power than when the battle first started.
Since Jin had just loosened another chain, it was the result of the influence of the evil god acting on the family head.
“Cuck!”
Octavia vomited a handful of blood and bent forward.
While protecting her, Hedo took a direct hit from several of the family lord’s sword skills. There were wounds all over his huge body.
“The 12th rider? Are you the 12th Horseman of the family? Come to think of it, your sword is Bradamante. His name is Jin… Jin Runkandell. It’s a strange thing.”
Rosa was talking like she didn’t know anything.
“Shut up!”
Jin threw himself toward Hedo. First of all, I thought I should give him some time to recover.
Rosa did not interfere with Jin, who turned around and started running.
Rather, he intercepted the swordsmanship of the former head of the family flying towards Jin and even protected him.
Rosa’s sword, which intercepts the sword, was not as powerful as the current evil god or the Rosa from the days of acting family that Jin remembered.
Jin decided not to think about what the evil god’s intentions were any longer.
jjwoong-!
The swords of Jin and the previous family clashed.
With just one battle, Jin understood why Hedo and Octavia struggled so much.
Like the sword of the head of the family, it had the power to inject soul energy into the opponent.
Now, the former head of the family was closer to being assimilated with the body itself rather than being manipulated.
Jin again caused the eternalization of Bradamante.
I had to finish the previous generation as soon as possible and sort out this confusing situation.
‘We cannot rule out the possibility that the previous family head is another Rosa, but we have to confirm it.’
The possibility of him being a true former head of the family like Alpen cannot be dismissed.
If you close the possibility because you are suspicious because the situation is daunting. It was like giving up the ancestors who fought for the family even after an unwanted resurrection, whether alive or dead.
Therefore, you must break the chains without killing them.
While Jin was worried, Rosa continued to stare at Jin’s back in a cover posture.
Like someone who has something to say. But as if you don’t know which words to start with.
Jin did not check Rosa’s appearance and extended his sword to the former head of the family.
‘It doesn’t matter if it’s a trap. I will not give up even one of my ancestors who resisted you to the end.’
It’s not the ancestors, but even if Rosa appears again like before, all you have to do is to cut them down together with Rosa behind.
Jin’s sword rushing at the householder no longer harbored confusion. Faced with the sudden appearance of Rosa, the dizzy inside was being sorted out.
As Jin, who regained his composure, began to take over as head of the previous generation, Hedo and Octavia quickly began to have room.
When Bianca finally destroyed the 29th generation, it was at the point where Jin and the previous family members finished over 100 battles.
Hedo and Octavia also joined the battle again, and the bloody battle between Alpen and Leon ended.
The bodies of Leone and Tucker Neff were disintegrating into particles as they rolled across the floor in the shockwaves of battle.
The battle that started with an equal number now had a many-to-one structure.
No matter how assimilated, the family head of the previous generation is not an impersonator after all.
Until now, even with the loss of an arm, he could use a sword with no loopholes, but that was the limit.
In the first place, the reason why he was able to hold on against the five was because Jin decided not to kill the former family head.
If I had decided to kill and fought, the battle would have been much shorter.
‘Helpful God, stop doing such nonsensical things and come forward yourself.’
Ki-Gik Roar…!
Bradamante cut off a strand of chains covering the face of the previous patriarch. Eternity clings to the rift, dissolving the links in the chain.
Little by little, the face behind the chain was revealed, and Jin’s judgment was not wrong this time.
‘It’s not Rosa…!’
The chains hadn’t been broken yet, but at first glance, her face was completely different from Rosa’s.
Soon, as Jin was about to cut the chain once more, the former head of the family suddenly rushed into Bradamante. As if he was deliberately stabbing himself.
Jin reacted immediately and took a step to the side.
Now, it only takes a few seconds for the Eternals to burn through the chains, and there was no point in losing an ancestor here. In just a few seconds, the bondage that bound the family head of the previous generation would naturally melt away.
The family head of the previous generation did not pursue Jin, who had fallen to the side.
‘Are you passing me by?’
The purpose of the evil god controlling the previous family head was not to make him stabbed to death by Jin’s sword.
The chest god accurately predicted what Jin would avoid.
In the first place, what the evil god was aiming for was himself, who kept watching Jin from behind.
It was Rosa.
All allies are positioned in front of Jin. The only one left behind Jin’s back was Rosa.
hook-!
‘ah?’
The sword of the previous head of state dug into Rosa’s chest.
Up until now, the deity had used near-perfect swordsmanship just by manipulating the previous family head, but for some reason, Rosa, who was standing behind Jin, couldn’t even take a single blow with that sword.
Even though it must have been his own sword.
“Big…!”
Rosa swallowed a groan and grabbed the blade that had entered her body.
When the former family head who had stabbed her collapsed and stopped moving, Rosa knelt down on one knee and let out a rough breath.
“Ugh…”
Jin couldn’t understand that.
Why did the body pierce itself and Rosa suffered like a human being?
And why is this ominous premonition overtaking him?
I couldn’t understand anything.
However, Jin unconsciously ran toward Rosa.
It was fatal. If the stabbed Rosa was really human, she would soon die.
“Hamster… What the hell are you doing?”
“Do you still see me… as an evil god?”
“Why are you acting like a human…!”
Jin sighed and stopped talking.
It was because Rosa had a much younger face than he remembered for some reason.
Suddenly, Jin realized that Rosa had already looked young since she broke her chain and came out.
Looking back at the face that looked like her age, who must have been in her early to mid-twenties.
It felt like my heart was sinking. Jin’s breathing was getting rougher.
“Now I think I have a vague idea of the situation… Jin. You must be the child of me and Shiron. He and I decided to give that name to our last child…”
