"What... exactly do you mean by returning everything to its original state?"
The Garden of Swords in Jin's memories, and the Garden of Swords laid out before him now. The only thing the two had in common was the thousands of swords stuck in the middle of the garden.
Every visible knight was engulfed in chaos without exception, and particularly Rosa was in a state that even the chaos purification device bought from Laprarosa couldn't handle.
There was a black horn on Rosa's forehead. She seemed to have no intention of hiding it, and even if she did, it seemed impossible to conceal.
Besides, the buildings were the only thing that's same as before.
From the moment Jin came to the Garden of Swords. No, from the moment he entered Kalon, he felt a strong energy of chaos hidden throughout the city.
Ha....
Jin sighed and rubbed his forehead.
"... Are you saying you can turn back time? Or Ilina Runcandel standing next to you, no, the prophet, do you have some other method?"
"I can't restore something that has already happened. However, if you fulfill your promise, I will immediately make you the patriarch, and from now on, Runcandel will rely on you to survive, not on the prophet."
I will make you patriarch.
The words that Jin had wanted to hear so much in previous life were hitting his head. Of course, he wasn't happy at all. It was to the point where he felt nauseous with the disgusting sensation of insects crawling in his head.
"Haha...."
Unconsciously, a bitter laugh escaped his lips.
"Since when were you in a position to appoint a patriarch? Chiron Runcandel, the patriarch of Runcandel, the owner of Barisada, and my father. All of this, of course, must have been carried out without his consent. Under your own judgment!"
Of course, Rosa hinted that she would make Jin the patriarch even before joining hands with the Prophet. However, Jin thought that Rosa would no longer interfere with him becoming the next patriarch, but did not expect this kind of succession.
He could only inherit Barisada directly from Chiron.
"So, what is your answer? Have you obtained the means to save the clan from this turmoil, or have you not?"
"Whatever I have gained, you and your Runcandel cannot benefit from it."
"In that case... I have no other choice."
Except to kill you.
Rosa's eyes narrowed. She had no intention of persuading Jin.
Not because it's not worth it. Now that she had decided to kill Jin, she was suppressing feelings of pain more intense than ever before.
But she can't catch him. She knew her youngest son was by no means a compromising person. He had never yielded in any situation, and had never broken down, not even once...
Rosa knew better than anyone that such a brilliant young man was Jin Runcandel, her youngest son.
"I will ask you one last question."
Rosa thought Jin would ask about Temar and Hister. But even that was beyond Rosa's expectations.
"Was this really the best course of action?"
"Yes."
"Then there's no need for further conversation between us."
Jin's gaze fell on the knights standing behind Rosa.
"What have the knights of the clan done to let the Garden of Swords come to this state? Were you just watching Rosa Runcandel colluding with Chaos?"
"Oh, spare me the lecture, Jin Runcandel. All you've done so far is ruin the fate of Runcandel. Besides, what about Chiron Runcandel? He was away from the clan this whole time. What's the result? Have you and he found a way to save the clan?"
Jin didn't pay attention to Ilina, who opened her mouth for the first time.
"If it wasn't for Madame Rosa's choice, Runcandel would have been finished long before irresponsible Chiron Runcandel and you returned. Well, in a way, this too feels like the fulfillment of fate, doesn't it? Ultimately, Runcandel has become much stronger compared to before..."
At that time, a group of knights appeared far away from the main house.
They were knights trapped underground. Everyone was tired and weak, but thanks to Stam's consideration, they were armed with clean armor and swords.
A weak energy of chaos was felt from them.
However, unlike the others who were completely consumed, they showed signs of resistance.
'They are the ones... who resisted to preserve the values of the clan despite being consumed by chaos.'
It is worthwhile to save them all and return. But that was impossible.
They knew that too. Because of this, the Tona brothers shouted and said to Jin.
"Jin, the youngest...! Don't mind us, do what you intend to do!"
"It's an honor fight and possibly die fighting alongside you as Runcandel...!"
The Tona brothers, who had tormented Jin so much in past life and still showed a servile attitude to the strong in this life, had become admirable Runcandels.
"Releasing them now is Madame Rosa's last consideration for you and them. Decorate your end with the rebels, Jin Runcandel. Anyway, even if you die, your power will be used for the Runcandel, so it's not such a bad ending."
"Listen, knights of my clan."
Jin looked at the knights who came up from the underground. They were the only clan knights.
"I salute you for your painful resistance. So from now on, what you must do is to survive at all costs. I will open the way for you."
The Tona brothers and the knights nodded solemnly.
"From now on, I declare Rosa Runcandel and those who follow her as traitors, and as the 12th flagbearer of the clan... I will execute them."
"As of the present time... I revoke your flagbearer status, Jin Runcandel."
Jin and Rosa said at the same time. As if they had promised, all the knights in the garden except for the two drew their swords.
And everyone was remembering an incident that happened in the Garden of Swords a few years ago.
-I think the meaning of the declaration that I made today will only become stronger if I get rid of the seat of honor where my mother sits.
-[Everyone, open your eyes wide... See clearly what the true Runcandel is, what has protected Runcandel, and what the current Runcandel is forgetting.]
Patriarchy declaration.
Blue flame lit up in Jin's eyes.
Runcandel Magic Sword Secret technique
Flames of hell - Sarah Runcandel
Blue flames formed in Jin's eyes. The will of the Flame Empress, who fought for the clan until the very end and preserved the value of Runcandel for a thousand years even in death, was vividly manifested through Jin.
Those stained with chaos had no choice but to flinch in front of the blue flames.
The energy of chaos was completely paralyzing their inside.
They were paralyzed until Jin unleashed flames of hell.
And a huge fear that could not be concealed even with the energy of chaos, an immeasurably overwhelming presence pounded on the rotten minds of the knights.
"Stop him!"
As Myu and Anne stepped forward, knights stained in chaos followed them. Among them, there were also knights wearing black helmets.
Black Knight, a black helmet that was once only given to the most honorable and strong knights in Runcandel.
Roughly estimating, there were nearly fifty knights wearing black helmets in the garden.
However, Jin did not feel particularly threatened even though he was surrounded by so many black knights.
Not all who wore black helmets were true Black Knights, and not all who reached the 10-star became transcendent martial artists.
"You guys are nothing."
Hundreds of sharp blades were raining down on Jin.
They could easily topple a mountain in an instant. No one other than the giant forces would be able to withstand the onslaught they unleashed in mere seconds.
Even so, their swords couldn't pierce even the outermost part of the blue flame unleashed by Jin. They vanished without a trace before even touching the flames.
It wasn't just the Plutonian swordsmanship and the Shadow Sword that Jin trained at Laprarosa. Right now, he was also close to completing the Runcandel magic sword.
Anyone who has seen Sarah Runcandel even once would have recognized that it was she who stood here.
A fire that burns the whole world, a fire that fights to the end without being extinguished in the face of any mighty enemy, was glaring at the traitors tainted by chaos.
Gaaaa...…!
Tess, who had just been summoned, let out a roar.
It was not manifested with the risk of using chaos as a medium, as in the Sword emperor castle war. Tess was summoned purely through Jin's mana, and rather exuded an even stronger aura than before.
And as Tess appeared, Jin swung his sword once towards the traitors.
About a hundred knights, including five knights who became black knights through the power of chaos, were burned, and their entire bodies melted and they could not even scream.
However, even if the body melted, the core of chaos remained like that of a living golem. The cores were returning to the Prophet as if being sucked into a vortex.
Jin grabbed one of the cores of chaos that was being dragged by the Prophet. Chaos tried to infest Jin's grip like a parasite, but when Jin clenched his fist, it simply burst.
For the first time, the Prophet showed a sign of hesitation.
'Is he immune to chaos!? Like the old Plutonian tribe...…!'
It was something the Prophet had never expected.
There was a contrast between Jin wrapped in the flames of the old Runcandel and the knights stained with chaos.
And as Jin said, the flame of hell was making a way for those released from the underground.
"Ilina Runcandel."
"Yes, Madame Rosa."
"Show your skills. We must not allow that child to return alive from this place today."
At Rosa's command, Ilina bowed her head.
"All right. Then, will you allow me to open the Garden of Swords?"
"I allow it."
For the Prophet, it was merely a stroke of luck.
By any chance, if Rosa saw Jin and changed her decision by breaking the contract with her, she would have no choice but to go around her path for a long time.
"I will recreate the nightmare of that day, you rotten ones. If not today, then tomorrow, and if not tomorrow, then whenever. In the end, none of you will survive."
The moment Jin spoke those words,
Suddenly, the sun vanished, and darkness engulfed the surroundings.

章節 477: CHAPTER 636
[T.L: punisher87]
[My ko-fi link:- https://ko-fi.com/punisher87 ]
The Garden of Swords, which had been shining with the sun and blue flames, became dark in an instant.
The peculiar darkness created by chaos, Jin narrowed his forehead and looked at the blackened sky and the garden of swords.
Red eyes were shining brightly all over the place. All of them were the gazes of the knights who were confronting Jin.
'As soon as the darkness deepened, the aura of the knights grew stronger... Is it the result of the Prophet amplifying the chaos scattered throughout the Garden of Swords?'
The Prophet and Rosa were nowhere to be seen. As if they weren't there in the first place.
Jin guessed that the two of them used some means to amplify the chaos. The Prophet would have used Rosa's power as a medium for amplification.
'Or did the acting matriarch move to prepare for defense against external attacks?'
Kinzelo and Zipfel.
Jin was still convinced that the two factions were watching the battle and preparing for an all-out attack.
'In that case, whether it was a valid decision or not, they will regret leaving me unattended.'
Whether it's to contain external attacks or for other reasons.
Jin was confident that he would make Rosa regret leaving him behind. And even all the choices she's made so far.
New knights were constantly appearing from somewhere.
Like insects lurking in the darkness, only to emerge and swarm towards their prey, unaware of the lethal poison within.
The number has already exceeded a thousand, and if it continues to multiply at this rate, it will reach ten thousand within an hour.
Each and every one of those knights has an aura of 8-star or higher.
'Even if it's true, they are just battle dolls that don't even deserve its power.'
To Jin, they are no different from the monsters of the Great Desert of Mitra that he encountered on the first day when he returned to the human world.
Of course, it was Jin's standard. The knights tainted with chaos had the battle prowess to wipe out quite a few kingdoms within a day or two, even if there was only one group.
'The only things that I have to deal with a little bit of concern are a few real guys among them. They are only traitors who have not lost their enlightenment despite being stained with chaos.'
Swoosh...!
The flames of the hellfire grew even thicker.
"How could you not know that the clan's values are struggle and dominance through power, not immorality...…."
For an instant the blue flames hid Jin's location. The lost black swordsmen who rushed in beat the barrier of Blue flames in vain.
Runcandel 5th secret technique
Light-speed Thrust - Plutonian
At the same time, five beams of light-speed thrust slashed the battlefield into pieces.
Small holes were made in the chest of the knights at the forefront, followed by chaos being wiped out in piles by the ensuing aftermath.
Before the knights could react and fill the collapsed ranks anew, Jin had already reached the point where the light speed thrust spread through the middle.
That spot was where those who resisted the chaos to the end, including the Tona brothers, stood.
Also, as soon as Jin settled down, he cut down the nearby knights by Bradamante and they disappeared like dust swept away by the wind.
"Oh, uh!, the youngest!"
"Behind, look behind!"
The Tona brothers felt a mix of emotions upon seeing Jin rushing to open a path, but they could only urgently shout for him to look behind.
It was because a black knight was holding a sword behind their brother's back.
Jin didn't even look at him, but hugged the Tona brothers, who rushed forward and tried to protect him with their bodies.
"Brothers, you've worked hard...."
The moment the brothers reunited, the black knight's sword that attacked the rear couldn't reach Jin. The fire burned his entire body.
Thud, the helmet of the fallen Black Knight hit the ground, emitting an empty sound.
"I have a lot to say, but for now, let's get out of here."
The moment Jin saw the people who had been trapped underground, he expected that a considerable number of them would die in this place.
That's why the Tona brothers shouted. They told him not to worry and to do what he intended to do.
Fortunately, things have changed.
'If the acting matriarch is not here, I can save a lot more knights than expected.'
Why did Rosa let them live? And why did she leave without killing them?
Suddenly, Jin had such questions.
The Prophet explained that it was just a final consideration. If that was the case, Jin felt he could never forgive Rosa, for someone who dared to defile Runcandel could not possibly show consideration for Runcandel.
Of course, there were still many variables that could get in the way of saving the knights.
There's no way to know for sure whether Rosa will return to the battlefield, how far traitors will multiply, and there's no way to be sure that there won't be something that even Jin can't handle.
So Jin had to evacuate them first.
"By the way, it's surprising that you are still here. Elder chief Jorden."
Jorden Runcandel.
Jin made eye contact with him.
"... judging from the atmosphere, it seems that you were the leader of the rebels."
Even while they were talking, the traitors were unable to approach Jin.
Jorden looked back and forth at the flame of hell and Jin, who were protecting them, and let out a wry laugh.
"I just remembered the essence of the clan that I had forgotten about. Thanks to some crazy monster."
-Have you regained your confidence after losing everything? You speak so arrogantly.
-I just remembered the essence of the clan that I had forgotten.
That's what Jorden said when Joshua fell down in the past, he said the same to Rosa.
"And the leader of this rebellion was originally not me, but the 4th flagbearer."
"Where is elder brother Diphus? What about elder sister Mary?"
"I don't know. I don't even know if they're alive or dead."
Diphus was still imprisoned in the dungeon, but the other rebels were unaware of it. It was because he was imprisoned separately.
"... I'm sorry."
"There is nothing for you to apologize for, elder chief. So, are the confirmed survivors all here now?"
"Yes."
Like those who resisted, Jorden's body bore the marks of the pain he suffered in the dungeon.
Almost only bones remained, and even the energy of chaos ate away his entire body.
Even so, Jin felt a certain transcendent level from Jorden. A strength that never disappeared no matter how weak his physical body became.
"It seems that your closed door training was also successful, elder chief."
"I don't think it can compare to you."
"I cannot take responsibility for escaping to the end on my own. It would be nice if I could, but I don't think the traitors' outbursts might be limited to this. If I clear the path, you will take everyone and evacuate them to Tikan."
"Puhh... Interesting. We've always been enemies, yet you're willing to trust me?"
"No, not Jorden, the Black Sword Association chief, who was mean like an old snake... I believe in the clan's knight, Jorden Runcandel."
Jorden's eyes widened.
"... I will support you, 12th flagbearer."
Jin did not forgive Jorden. Jorden knew that too.
But ultimately, the two ended up sharing the value of 'struggle' that Runcandel represented, and that was enough. As a reason to fight together for Runcandel, despite harboring grudges.
"By the way, the 12th flagbearer. As you just predicted, this is not all the power of Rosa Runcandel and the Prophet."
"Tell me everything you know."
"The fact that the Traitors have been strengthened now is the result of the chaos bound to the Garden of Swords being unleashed. We went through the same situation the day we were imprisoned in the dungeon."
At that time, the rebels had shown quite a struggle against the chaos traitors. Not as much as Jin, but they managed to cut down many of the strengthened knights.
It was thanks to the fact that there were knights like Jorden, Diphus, and Mary who had reached the level after the closed door training.
What completely devastated them that day wasn't just the endlessly resurrecting and multiplying chaos knights, nor the battle dolls with nothing but destructive power.
"... Soon, the knights enshrined in the mausoleum will appear."
"The knights from the mausoleum?"
"What we have personally confirmed are the flagbearers and the black Knights of the past. But if I were the prophet, I would call many more and stronger beings against you...…."
The moment Jorden said that.
All of a sudden, Jin unleashed ten light-speed thrusts and cleared the surroundings. In addition, the energy of the flame of hell, which had been amplified, was still growing beyond recognition.
No matter how many ants there are, they cannot kill a lion.
Just as Jin felt that the Knights of Chaos were no different from monsters in the desert, Jorden could see that as well.
"... But I don't think there's anything to worry about."
Jorden shrugged his shoulders. He realized that Jin had used power that was not even 30 percent of his battle prowess.
The reason Jin cleared the surroundings was simple.
He recognized that among the traitors, the real knights began to show their energy in earnest.
Captain of the Black Knights, Stam. He was slowly making his way toward Jin.
"Go, Elder Chief."
The rebels began to leave the Garden of Swords. The land soaked in chaos was disorienting, but they took the blue road formed by flame of hell as a guidepost.
Rebels didn't even have to extend their swords against the chaos knights flocking in. The flames that surrounded them like a barrier protected them.
Their fight for escape would begin in earnest after they escaped the territory of flames.
"You seem to have no intention of attacking them, the former Captain of the Black Knights of Runcandel, Stam. You should be able to give ample damage in my fire. Is it like the last remaining conscience?"
Stam glared at Jin without answering. A huge aura and chaos were being released from him.
"No, former 12th flagbearer, Jin Runcandel. Because I decided that I should not waste my strength while dealing with you."
"Fortunately, you didn't have a bad conscience."
Jin stared into Stam's red eyes for a moment.
The Captain of the Black Knights of Runcandel, who had once fought alongside him at the Sword Emperor Castle war, was now blocking him as an enemy.
"It's a splendid choice to fully focus on me. It's regrettable that despite having such judgment, you didn't stop the tyranny of Rosa Runcandel."
"The justification for seeking the survival of the clan is the privilege of the last survivor. You still don't have the right to judge whether Madame Rosa's decision was right or wrong. Likewise, I don't yet have the conviction to say that you were wrong. That's a problem that can only be confirmed after your death."
"I didn't know you have a talent for talking bullshit in the midst of battle…"
Just as Jin was about to charge at Stam—
He sensed another elite approaching from behind.
[Captain of the Black Knights, now I understand why you've been waiting for me all this time. At first, I thought he was Chiron Runcandel, the current patriarch.]
When he turned around, Jin saw a knight he had never seen before, a figure who had just emerged from the mausoleum.
