Chapter 634
Episode 163. Return to the Family (3)
* * *
February 25, 1803, early dawn.
As expected, Jin was preparing to head to the Garden of Swords.
They even advertised to the world that they would return to the Garden of Swords on February 25 through Dino Jaglan.
Even the newsletter issued by Dino subtly hinted that Jin would now rise to the ‘family home’.
That would be tantamount to a declaration of war against Runkandel.
“Will Kingelo and Zipple really go to war?”
Thalaris asked.
The co-workers next to her looked at her and Jin worriedly.
“I will definitely come. If you can’t read even such a great opportunity, you don’t deserve to be at the head of a great power.”
Jin didn’t plan for the two forces to participate in the war from the beginning.
Even when he decided to visit Runcandel 15 days ago, Jin wasn’t sure, but seeing Runkandel respond to the return article, it became clear.
The fact that the Prophet had already taken control of the family.
Also, the fact that Kingelo and Ziple were not stimulating the garden of swords was because they presumed that Runcandel possessed strong enough power to be burdensome.
That’s why Jin threw the odds.
It was decided that if you were not an idiot, you had to form a big board that would have no choice but to follow.
“Even if the chiefs of the enemies are much dumber than I thought and don’t come, it’s just right for me to go. Even for the sake of those within the family who may be resisting the Prophet.”
I have never relied on or tried to rely on the prophet’s filthy power.
Those who give advice to the end, the real knights of Runkandel, and the brothers. He was supposed to be suffering in the Garden of Swords.
It’s impossible not to find them yourself.
Besides, if you look at Runkandel’s article about Temar, Valeria might have been captured.
“As I said before, now is the right time for my family to know my strength.”
“Huh, what… … okay. If the power of the son-in-law now has, it will be enough to escape no matter how things go wrong. Seriously, when I said it wouldn’t take a long time to reach 10 stars, I never thought I’d come back stronger than I am. Does this make sense?”
“Not quite like that. You float too much. And if it wasn’t for Thalaris’ help, I’d probably think of other options. With Mort and the Red Owl, it’s a choice you can make.”
“Yes, yes. As I live, there will come a day when this Talaris Endorma becomes nothing more than a means of transportation for someone.”
Talaris laughed, and Jin shrugged and let out a chuckle.
The two no longer looked like superiors and subordinates, but like close friends.
The fact that he didn’t hate that figure was astonishing to himself.
“jin.”
“Yes, Mr. Siris.”
“Since our secret palace has protected you countless times, now it is your turn to protect the secret palace.”
Jin didn’t answer and made eye contact with Siris for a moment.
“So, go back and don’t die. He won’t have to pay the debt. I’ll teach you some swordsmanship.”
“Of course, we will guarantee light-speed growth.”
“Why is my daughter telling all grown-up stories?”
“Mom be careful too. You must not overdo it with an immature body.”
“young master… … .”
Gilly put a hand on Jin’s shoulder.
“Please, return safely.”
“As soon as I came back, it was a forced march without a break. Lord, I’m sorry I couldn’t be of any help.”
“Confucius Qin… … Are you really okay by yourself?”
The colleagues gathered around Gilly and were worried about Jin.
Talaris sighed in frustration at the sight.
“Ugh, really. Now your son-in-law is not at the level you have to worry about? So, everyone, don’t act like the person Jin is going to die. I’d rather see the wretch stuck in the lab over there looking better.”
Quaul was working hard on his research as if he didn’t care if Jin went to Runcandel alone or not.
He was completely obsessed with the items Jin brought from Lapla Rosa.
If you’re a magical engineer, it’s just the data you’d be willing to sell your soul to get.
If there was one regret, it was the fact that Valeria, who would share this happiness with her, was absent.
“Like Thalaris said, don’t worry too much. I’ll be back. That won’t happen, but if I don’t come back within three days, be sure to prepare for evacuation.”
“In the end, even our son-in-law adds useless words. Now get on, let’s go!”
Jin boarded the Red Owl.
“I will go. As always, let’s get what we want.”
* * *
For over a thousand years, it has been the home of the Runkandel Sword Demons, and has been revered and feared by all warriors who have existed in the world.
Sword Garden.
In the middle of it, Rosa stood still.
His face was pale and his lips dry.
She raised her head and looked at the sky, with a skinny body that made her look like the black leopard of Runkandel who commanded the family with Shiron.
The sun, incongruous with winter, is scorching.
Even when Rosa faced it head-on, she did not feel the burning sensation in her eyes.
I just get the impression that it’s unnecessarily bright.
“The youngest… … They are coming.”
A woman in a black hood nodded.
Ilyna Runkandel, the woman known as Joshua’s unfortunate companion.
Now everyone in Runkandel knew who she was.
A prophet of disaster. The one who saved Rosa and other members of Runcandel from chaos.

“You sound like you’re sorry. Do you think things would have been different if it had been a little faster?”
hooked!
Rosa drew a frenzy in an instant and stabbed Illina in the neck.
Illina collapsed with a quick breath, then convulsed for a few seconds before rising again.
Instead of blood, chaos flowed from the affected area.
“Ah really. How many times do I have to explain that people’s lives don’t take a toll every time like this?”
“It is unacceptable for a member of Runkandel to speak to me like that. Even if this was your last life, I wouldn’t have hesitated to kill you.”
“Could you kindly help me… … .”
“Do you want to die again? The pain of death is something I have felt as well, so it won’t be as light as it is for you.”
Illina lowered her head at Rosa’s low voice.
“Sorry, I will be more careful in the future.”
Rosa looked at the front door in silence again.
Front Door.
Looking back, for Rosa Runkandel, that front door was an innumerable number of lonely years of waiting.
How terribly and desperately I had been looking forward to the day when Shiron, who had finished his work through that door, would come back and save the family… … .
After all, that day never came.
What will come instead is the youngest son, who will definitely not bend or compromise until the end, so he has no choice but to break it himself.
That fact was a bit bitter.
“All Knights of Runcandel, prepare to welcome the 12 Horsemen of your family.”
Rosa’s words are like the wind and solemn.
No matter how small it is, there is no place where it does not spread, and there is no one who cannot hear it. Just like Shiron’s voice did.
Knights from all over the park came out and lined up in front of her.
It was also the same as when the family prepared for Shiron’s hospitalization.
The Horsemen stood at the forefront, followed by the Black Knights Black Sword Society, Execution Knights, and Guardian Knights.
It was a number far beyond what Jin remembered, but the rider was only four.
“Sir Rosa.”
It was Stam, the captain of the Dark Knights.
“Speak.”
“What should the underground knights do?”
The underground knights, they were the ones who rebelled against Rosa until the very end.
“All but the 4th horseman should be freed.”
“All right. and… … May I return the weapons they were using?”
The reason Stam said that was no different.
Although they have now turned their backs on Rosa and the family, they were all knights who once devoted themselves to the family.
Their rejection of Rosa was not a betrayal.
It’s just that she couldn’t overcome the power Rosa had and the logic of defeat.
So Stam wanted to give them one last chance.
A chance to fight together with Jin while realizing what they think of as ‘honor’.
Illina tried to raise her voice by saying that she was crazy, but Rosa didn’t hate Stam that way.
There had to be someone like him.
“Do it. Also, all of their swords will be stuck in the garden.”
“… … thank you.”
“May I dare to say something? I think it’s dangerous. The fate of Gene Runkandel has already gone off track once. Even the smallest things can become big problems!”
Rosa dismissed her comments.
And he began to focus on the youngest son’s energy, which was rapidly approaching from afar.
Recalling the day when Jin first returned to his family after completing his preliminary rider course.
-Looks like someone else is trying to welcome this old man.
-Gaju, what do you mean by that?
-Rosa, I think you’ve become blunt too. Quite a powerful force is approaching the Garden of Swords. I mean at a very fast pace.
‘Now I can see what you felt then… … Poetry.’
Great job.
The first emotion that filled Rosa’s heart was no different from the poetic theory at that time.
Slowly, the front door was opening.
Jin strode towards Rosa, not paying attention to the changed family and the black energy of the chaos-stained knights.
As the distance got closer, the two felt as if all the scenery around them was being erased.
Among these countless human and non-human beings, mother and child focused all their senses on each other.
Everything is the same as that day.
The day Jin proved that he had the qualifications to become a horseman by receiving Shiron’s sword.
But now is not that day.
“Jin Runkandel, the 12th rider, has returned to the family after completing training in the closure.”
Jin did not raise a sword.
Rosa didn’t answer and looked down at Jin quietly.
As Runkandel, as a human being, as a mother, I wanted to hold on to this brief last moment, even just a little longer.
So, just like Shiron did that day, she wanted to draw her sword.
I wanted to savor the sword of my son who had grown up with swords facing each other just once.
However, Jin did not allow that time to be prolonged.
“But mother… … You broke your promise to me.”
That’s disappointing.
You have no right to test me now.
As Jin continued to talk behind his back, Rosa stopped raising her hand on her waist without realizing it.
That was the last emotion Rosa felt as a human being.
A drop of black blood flowed from Rosa’s cracked lips.
She swiped blood with the back of her hand and replied:
“The promise is still valid. If you can show me what you set out to prove to me, I will undo everything in my family right now.”
