Swordmaster’s Youngest Son Chapter 553

Chapter 553

Episode 145. omen (22)

Kihehehehehe-!

An awl resounded throughout the battlefield. In 1795, when Andrei Ziffle was cornered and took out the demon stone, this sound was heard.

But then it was on a different level. The current demon stone was in a state of high perfection that was incomparable to that time.

‘Has Kelliac started using the demon stone in earnest… … !’

As soon as the second match started, Jin and his colleagues knew that Kelliac had brought the Demon Stone. Quikantel was terrified, and Zipple’s dragons seemed to have seizures even with safety harnesses around their necks.

Even so, when I felt the power of the demon stone being released, goose bumps ran down my back.

“That must have been the power originally hidden to deal with Runkandel. It seems that your family head has finally decided that Sir Ron can’t be helped.”

He replied calmly, but Jin had no choice but to assume that the situation could turn around. Both the battlefield in the sky and the battlefield on the ground.

As soon as the demon stone was opened, Octavia’s recovery accelerated. It reminded me of a conversation I had with Sandra Ziple on the Gaipa Islands.

– Shall we get married? I heard that marriage talks are going back and forth with the lady of the secret palace. How about me?

-If you tell me the secret of your super-regeneration, I’ll consider it.

-is it so? It’s not a very difficult condition. Do you know that it is a drinking stone? With it, we can mimic some of the powers of some gods… … .

‘Super regeneration by demon stone… … .’

The embers of the flames remaining in Octavia’s severed right hand were fading. Instead, black smoke rose and formed her new hand.

I witnessed the same super-regeneration in 1795 when I fought Andrei and Buretta. Black bones were formed and turbid, bizarre skin sprouted.

It wasn’t just Octavia that was recovering like that.

The injured members of the Wraith Corps also began to regain their energy through super-regeneration… … Even the already dead wraiths were raising their bodies, grunting in displeasure.

Soon, Octavia put the broken staff back together with the magic of light and met Jin’s eyes. Black blood was still flowing from her left eye.

“okay. Both Ron Hyland and you. You shock us too much.”

“Why didn’t the pupil recover?”

“To not forget today.”

“I won’t be able to forget it anyway, but you do all sorts of useless things.”

He spoke calmly, but it was difficult to swallow his regret. Her chance to end Octavia is now gone.

If that was all, they would have accepted this bitter situation somehow, but the problem was that, unlike them, most of their allies were injured or exhausted.

Runkandel, or Talaris, was in desperate need of participation.

“… … Lord.”

Valkas stood next to Jin and said.

“You must step back now.”

Balkas’s voice was low and dark.

He was recalling the conversation he had with Casimir before the second leg.

-… … I have a feeling that this war may decide not only the fate of the Black Emperor, but the fate of the world.

– Neither do I.

-Even if Sir Dante wakes up and we all escape the Imperial Palace, it will only put the situation on hold in the end. All-out war, negotiations. One of the two is bound to happen. Unless the white stone is destroyed.

-We just need to focus on supporting our master in any situation. The lord will not give up on his friend, but if the lord is in danger of falling because of that… … We must make sure that even if we trample on the master’s heart, he will not fall.

This is what Balkas felt right now.

If he didn’t back down now, it seemed that death would be the only future that Jin and Barmal could face, as well as the Sword Saints.

Of course, to Valkas, Jean’s survival was nothing compared to Dante’s life. Everyone in the Barmal Union was like that.

In particular, I couldn’t let Jin die in such a hopeless fight. I don’t know if the demon stone hadn’t restored Octavia and the wraith, but there really was no answer right now.

Unfortunately, even Balkas went crazy, but the more he was like this, the more he had to accept the reality calmly.

“My lord… … You have done enough.”

The grip on the sword was strained, and the teeth grinding as if the jaw would break.

Jin knew better than anyone else that Valkas was right.

In the end, Jin made a choice.

“I will retreat.”

Of course, Jin never intended to give up on Dante… … .

Continuing to fight will only lead to the death of not only themselves but also those who follow them.

The name ‘Jin Runkandel’ and the influence he holds are no longer entirely personal. The lives of many of his comrades were in his hands.

Abandoning them all for a friend who might have already crossed the river of no return was tantamount to betrayal. As their master and colleague, it was a choice they should never have made.

“step… … Introspection, I will have to see it at least once.”

If there is really no hope even after retreating to the resistance where Dante is located, if there is no way to save him, then I will unconditionally retreat. Jin was saying that.

“My lord, retreating from the castle can become more difficult.”

“No, rather resistance increases everyone’s chances of survival. The family won’t be able to observe the castle, so they will definitely send someone.”

In fact, Rosa had already given the order to Stam, the leader of the Black Knights, to save Jin.

The people of Runcandel would not be interested in the lives of anyone other than Jin, but if they fought Octavia, it would inevitably make the party’s escape easier.

Another titan who was still maintaining neutrality, the non-gungju Talaris Endorma, might also be in the inner world.

Above all.

Jin was recalling an old memory. The day his first sister, Luna Runcandel, cut down her demon stone. It seemed that there was nothing in the world Ron could not cut.

Runkandel and Thalaris and Ron. Among the three, Runkandel’s intervention was definitive, so there was no reason not to check the resistance, and Balkas agreed.

By then, Octavia had completed her recovery. The reshaped magic of light and linkage magic were flying towards the party.

jjwoong-!

Valkas stepped forward, slashing the beam that fell on Jin.

“I will retreat with the Sword Saints behind me. Master, head to the castle as quickly as possible with the rest of the personnel.”

* * *

The pupils were empty, and a black face grotesquely distorted in places replaced the sky.

It was a face protruding from the demon stone. Kiek, Kiek-! It was screaming incessantly, as if it was in great agony to expose its face to the world.

Maybe it wasn’t a scream, but a roar threatening the enemies, or it might just be a meaningless scream.

What was clear was that the gloomy and terrible voice overwhelms everyone in the Imperial Palace. Even Lon Hilan felt his whole body getting heavy as he looked straight into the demon stone’s face.

He had never seen anything more terrible in his life. It wasn’t just a feeling that came from the hideous shape, but an inexplicably deep and dark aura that colored the battlefield.

‘Something like that… … It’s true that Zipple was created by humans.’

Until now, he had faced Kelliac and Zipple’s fleet alone, but he had not wavered an inch.

But not now.

I can’t… … .

It seemed impossible to call. It seemed that if there were people in the world who could cut that, it would have to be Shiron, not himself.

I heard the ‘confidence’ that no one would be able to cut it if it wasn’t him. It was a certainty that he could have because he was an unmanned person closest to the realm of creation.

‘Dante, he’s my grandson.’

Dante’s face came to mind.

Along with the feeling that you may not be able to protect the child, then what can you do for your grandson?

There was only one.

‘If I can’t protect you, I will make sure that he can return alive.’

I caught Rashid.

I made up my mind, and I made up my mind. To push away the certainty of defeat. If we fight without pushing away that conviction, nothing will happen.

Shortly after, Ron was able to face the Demon Stone again with the same eyes as usual.

“Lon Hiran. I never thought I would use this power against you.”

Kelliac floated in front of the Demon Stone’s face and said.

He looked completely different from before. He looked like a young boy, not a gray-haired old man.

And Ron intuitively knew that it was a phenomenon caused by the assimilation of Kelliac and the Demon Stone.

“I salute you.”

“How can a monster pay homage to a man, Kelliac Ziple. You are no longer the human I used to know. The fact that I once competed with you on a human-to-human basis is disgusting.”

At that, Kellyak smiled bitterly.

“I understand.”

Hroti was dyed black. It was a dark and deep black color that would not be unreasonable even if it was stained with aura.

“The only consideration I can do for you is to make you go to rest quickly.”

A black flash of light extended from Hroti. The black flash has no sound or presence. Like a spiritual sword that has reached its peak.

At the same time, Ron also swung Rashid.

But Ron didn’t think it was ‘simultaneous’. He recognized that his reaction was delayed by a fraction of a second, much less than that.

The black flash broke through the huge intangible sword that spread between them so easily and reached Ron.

Thanks to the intangible sword technique slowing down the progress even slightly, Ron was able to overcome the time difference and completely cut off the black flash.

Skip-!

The moment Rashid and the black flash collided, a strange sound was heard.

And Ron had to feel the flash of black flash across his cheek, which he thought he had brushed off.

Something that shouldn’t have happened in his realm.

Kiaah, Kieaek!

The Demon Stone’s scream sounded like it was laughing at Ron.

On the back of Ron’s hand, who wiped the blood from his cheek with a hard expression, a gray pattern sprouted like runes.

He opened the sword of the king of kings.
