Chapter 633
Episode 163. Family Return (2)
* * *
Zipple, Tower of Stories.
Kadun, Hedo, and Octavia’s eyes were on the newsletter on the table.
(The hero of the Sword Emperor’s Temple, the 12th rider of the Garden of Swords, Jin Runkandel. Returning after finishing training in the closed building!)
“You mean Gene Runkandel is back… … .”
Octavia spoke in a low voice as if chewing.
The 12 Horsemen of the problem disappeared shortly after the end of the Geomwang Temple.
Hedo, who still had no ill feelings toward Jin, had a calm face, but Octavia and Kadun’s eyes were full of murder.
‘This is the way the world’s top leaders always treat a child like this. Without a family head, I can’t even control myself.’
Kellyac Zipple.
He was currently assisted by chaos control devices and body maintenance devices.
It was only natural that he was exposed to the most chaos in the Geomhwang Temple along with Rosa.
Until about a year ago, he did a little bit of external activity to hide his disgrace, but now Kellyak was in a position to really ‘save’ his time.
Until Ziple gets perfect chaos control technology, or until Kingelo accepts the deal.
‘Well, I also took a light look at him in the Sota Desert for the first time… … .’
Looking back, that was the problem.
If Sandra had finished off Jin before he went into trouble in the Sota Desert, if Jin had slashed Jin before he opened an avenue, or if he had stuck with Sandra and if she had followed the Kaifa Archipelago in love with Jin and cut him then… … .
It wouldn’t have been such a big concern.
To Ziffle and Hedo to individuals.
if you’re lucky
It was the fact that Jin, who had come back stronger now, wasn’t such a bad thing for Zipple.
Hedo opened another newsletter lying beside the table.
(Sir Dante Highlan subdues the Demon Beast of Gogoksaeseong! Sir Dante is the number one guardian sword in the empire succeeding the late Sir Ron Highlan, and is evaluated as entering the 10th castle after the Sword Emperor’s Temple….)
“Smarion Frochi of the Ghost Castle was probably subdued by the Twelve Horsemen, not Dante.”
“Why do you think so, Hedo?”
“Dante Hylan continues to make public appearances. But there is no sign of injury, and none of his knights are dead. No matter how strong the Imperial Guardian Blade becomes, it is not strong enough to subdue that amount of chaos unscathed. If you’re single, you’ll have to risk his life to be able to do it.”
“That’s right. But isn’t that the case with Gene Runkandel as well?”
“I don’t know. It’s a different matter depending on how strong the 12th Horseman has become.”
“No matter how much I’ve grown in 2 years and 6 months, to that extent?”
“He is obviously a different person. Everyone here must have experienced that he always produces results that exceed common sense.”
“Even so, if Smarion was dealt with without injury, it would be the result of Murakan recovering and reappearing.”
Hedo nodded.
“Either the Twelve Horsemen have a power close to creation, or Murakan has regained his former power. Neither of those things are too bad for us right now.”
Runkandel, an old nemesis of Ziple, whom everyone thinks is on the decline. Zipple and Kingelo were making completely different judgments from the public’s evaluation.
“Garden of Swords. Right now, there is no better hand than 12 Horsemen to keep them in check.”
Hedo opens another newsletter on the table.
(In the Garden of Swords, the discovery of the relics of Temar Runkandel, the first head of the family… No specific announcement was made, but a strong will to recover the family’s forgotten history was expressed.)
“The 12th Horseman will not know exactly the current situation in Runkandel. So as soon as I came back, I felt strange and announced my return to the world before my family. This is the reaction that Runkandel showed after that.”
Since Runkandel lost most of its history after being defeated by Ziffle a thousand years ago, it has rarely publicized problems with its ancestors.
Among them, directly mentioning the theme is a taboo among taboos.
But now, the power of Ziple’s story that weighed down Runcandel had weakened, and they no longer cared about Zipline.
He did not say anything about the phenomenon of ‘magical affinity’ that occurred with pure-blood Runcandel after the Sword Emperor’s Crusade.
There can be only one reason for that.
It’s confidence.
Confidence that I have the power to not have to be afraid of Zipple’s oath anymore… … .
“They… … Did Hester’s survivors find Temar’s grave before Hester’s survivors did? Through the power of the Prophet?”
“Perhaps. But it doesn’t matter if it’s true or false. It is important that the 12 Horseman has no choice but to go to his family the moment he sees this article.”
“For Hester to ascertain the survival of the survivors and the artifacts he should have obtained?”
“Not only that, but returning to the Gene Runkandel family is a choice that must be made. Even to become the head of the household. He will never give up on his family, even if Runkandel isn’t what it used to be. It’s not something that can be compromised.”
“It is as the Wraith Captain and Kadun said. Of course, the 12 horsemen will not visit the family without any preparation. It seems that he will prepare the toad that the queen possesses as a way to escape, and will not drag the Bamal alliance with him.”
“Then he will surely die on the spot, Lord Hedo. He won’t know how dangerous Runkandel is right now!”
Octavia resents the loss of her chance for revenge.
“No, Octavia. If Murakan found all his old powers. Besides, as Hedo said, if his inaction is at a level of superhuman level 1 or higher… … Just the two of us should be able to do something like a war with Runcandel.”
“And unless the Twelve Horsemen choose the option of submitting to Runcandel with the Barmal Alliance, it is inevitable that a fight will break out in the Garden of Swords.”
“He would never make a choice like that.”
How much damage will Runkandel suffer in the process?
It was unpredictable for all three.
However, all three commented that the chances of Jin surviving were very low.
Even in a situation where Murakan supported him with all his strength back.
“Then, at this point, we can confirm the power of Runcandel through their battles.”
Ziple knows that the Prophet took control of the Garden of Swords in earnest with Rosa, and infers that their power is beyond imagination.
But I didn’t know exactly what level it was.
Therefore, they were avoiding an all-out war by using the truce they had previously concluded.
“It’s a good option, of course, to keep an eye on trends. But I don’t think it would hurt to go further than that.”
“Go further… … ?”
Kadun and Octavia’s gaze fell on Hedo.

“If Runkandel has a weaker power than we expected, it will take a serious hit in that fight.”
If so, then is the right time to completely end Runkandel.
Hedo was saying that.
“You don’t have to give yourself time to recover. How quickly the Prophet revived so many knights who died in the Geomhwang Temple and how he strengthened them. Doesn’t everyone know?”
It was an intelligence report reported when Jin was in Lapla Rosa.
The spy who announced the resurrection and strengthening of the Prophet, as soon as the report was over, ‘melted’ and died in front of Kelliac.
In other words, the Prophet at the time was deliberately showing off his power.
Even knowing he’s a spy.
Recalling the memory of that time, Cardun and Octavia shook their heads as if they were getting goosebumps.
“So Hedo, you mean. Are we preparing for an all-out war?”
“It is a story about the need to prepare a response according to the aspect of the battle. It is not an unconditional all-out war.”
“If the battle goes both ways, it means we both want to finish it off… … If you don’t want to, just leave.”
There was a moment of silence, and then Kadun made his decision.
“If it goes as it says, it is definitely the best picture. But it’s not a matter for us to decide. You’d better wake Kelliac for a moment and let him decide.”
Then they went to the top floor of the Tower of Stories and informed Keliac of the situation.
Kelliac nodded in the retainer, saying that Hedo was right.

Kingelo New Headquarters.
At the same time, they were also having a meeting on the same topic as Ziffle.
It was also in the process of reaching a conclusion similar to that of Zipple.
The person who said that he would take the initiative in pursuing the two-team plan was Vishkel Ivliano.
“Hmm, I think the vice-captain’s opinion is good, but… … Will he really go to the Garden of Swords alone? Even though he defeated Ranke, it would be crazy to go to the Garden of Swords alone, which even we can’t touch. How much more so with that shrewd guy?”
“Heng! That guy from Jinrunkandel, he seems to be completely invisible because he turned Ranke into a bloody mess!?”
Boubar and Ainas expressed their doubts.
Ranke was sitting in the corner, muttering to himself in a state of fascination.
Although sometimes, whenever Jin heard the expression ‘beating’ him, he looked at Ainas and Boubar as if they were going to kill him.
“As Ainas-sama said, unless his hair was damaged because he easily trampled on Ranke, I don’t think he will go to the Garden of Swords. Ranke-sama and the entire Runkandel are on different levels, right? Ah, of course, I’m not saying Ranke-sama is pathetic. I just lost… … .”
“Right, I just lost. So cheer up! Ranke.”
Bishkel, as always, was fed up with Boubard spewing shit-filled words into his stupid head.
“… … Inas-sama and Boubar. Don’t keep emphasizing Ranke’s defeat. It doesn’t fit the topic of the meeting, and it’s against etiquette.”
It’s chewy.
The two of them didn’t listen to Bishkel and took out a sweet potato macroket from their pockets and ate it, and Bishkel broke the pen he was holding.
“Umm, what do you think, Captain?”
Margiela patted Bishkel on the shoulder and said.
[The vice-captain’s opinion is correct. Perhaps Zipple had a similar plan. When Jin and Runcandel both take a big hit, if we and Ziple hit Runcandel together. No matter how powerful the sword garden is right now, it seems difficult to handle.]
“Then, Captain. Are you preparing for an all-out attack?”
[I think that would be good for now, Berakt. We’ll have to keep an eye on the future. Since Jin Runkandel cannot swear obedience to the Prophet… … Fights always happen. And Ainas, Bubbar. Ranke’s defeat is not without fault. Jin Runkandel has become incomparably stronger than before.]
The director’s direct evaluation made the officers’ eyes widen.
In particular, Zephyrin had been with Orgal for a long time and could only count on one hand the memory of seeing a human he evaluated so much.
“At that time, the outcome will be determined by how strong the power Runkandel hides. If it’s weaker than you think, it’s your chance to wipe it all out. Master, it’s been a while since you’ve made a decision that’s to my liking? I’m just getting annoyed at how long I have to keep an eye on that.”
[Zephyrin, don’t judge the Prophet carelessly.]
“Hmph, anyway, I am a pitiful dragon who has no memory of receiving favoritism from his master.”
Again, Margiela patted Zephyrin on the shoulder.
“Then, the captain’s permission has been granted. Shall we prepare too? The Garden of Swords and Sir Gene Runcandel. In the end, it will be a fight that will inevitably hurt both of you, so it must be fun.”
Margiela smiled softly.
Maybe, thinking that this might be the real last chance to make Jin their own person.
