* * *
At that moment, fleets of each faction were gathering in the airspace near Kalon of the Huphester Alliance, as Jin had foreseen.
And they all saw the drastic changes beginning to take place in the Garden of Swords.
No, they were observing the dark scenery of chaos spreading throughout the entire city of Kalon.
"This crazy... what is that?"
The commander's room of the flagship of the 1st Fleet, Kozec.
Kadun unknowingly slumped into his chair, unable to take his eyes off Kalon.
Hedo and Octavia next to him had similar reactions.
Since Ron subdued Glyek in the war of the Sword Emperor Castle, the remnants of chaos had been spreading chaos throughout the world.
However, the level of chaos spread before them now was unprecedented, unlike anything seen before.
Even the Great Desert of Mitra, which was used as a waste disposal site by the major factions, felt like a pristine area compared to the chaos emanating from Kalon.
It seemed credible to say that one of Five Kings of the Black Sea had awakened in Kalon.
"I never imagined the Garden of Swords would conceal such power. And Runcandel seems to be controlling all this massive chaos... Damn it, could it be true that the prophet's identity is actually the witch Helluram?"
The chaos in Kalon presented a completely different aspect from ordinary contaminated areas. It spread perfectly purified, without any erratic patterns.
Among the major factions, the one known to have the least technical development through chaos control was Runcandel until yesterday.
Because of this, there were not a few people in the world who rashly evaluated that Runcandel was collapsing, but that statement was completely wrong.
In the eyes of Zipfel's leadership, Runcandel was, in fact, entering its prime.
The massive chaos spreading across the entire city like a giant serpent continued to proliferate incessantly as they watched.
Even that was not the only sight that was difficult to accept.
"Besides, that fire... it belongs to the 12th flagbearer."
In the middle of the chaos that covered Kalon, the area where the Garden of Swords was located, a blue flame was piercing through the chaos.
It was so far away, but they could see it. That it was the fire of Jin Runcandel.
-And unless the 12th flagbearer chooses the option to submit to Runcandel with the Vamel Alliance, there will inevitably be a fight in the Garden of Swords.
-He will never make such a choice.
-Then at that time, we can check the power of Runcandel through their battle.
A conversation they had at the Tower of Stories not long ago.
The power of Runcandel, and the power of Jin who was rampaging in the main house of Runcandel. Both were far beyond their expectations.
In the midst of a chill in the back, Kadun turned his gaze to Hedo.
"Hedo, you were right. If we hadn't prepared for an all-out attack, we wouldn't have even known that they were accumulating such dreadful power."
"If Runcandel had finished stocking up its power to its satisfaction, then suddenly unleash it upon us without warning. If we were not adequately prepared at that time... I can't help but think that day would have been our downfall," Octavia interjected into Kodan's narrative.
Hedo silently stared at Jin's fire. Despite appearing small like a fingernail due to the distance, if Jin desired, the blue flames could tear through the chaos and incinerate everything up to where they stood.
'I don't sense Murakan's power that Lord Kadun was worried about...…. Does it mean he is fighting alone in the Garden of Swords?'
Just as Lionel and Stam were experiencing Jin's level rising in real time during the battle, the three felt the same sensation.
"Lord Kadun."
A mage entered the commander's room.
"I just confirmed the position of Kinzelo's fleet."
Kinzelo's fleet is approaching from the opposite direction to Zipfel.
With Kalon at the center, the fleets of the two forces on both sides were gradually narrowing the distance towards Runcandel.
"What's the size?"
"Starting with the 1st Fleet flagship Grenil, Zion, Kiki, Alice, and Criul. All five major fleets have been observed."
Kozec, Kozec 2, Lucia, Andion, Pistro, Arcadia. Similarly, Zipfel brought all of the clan's strongest 6 Fleets and flagships.
The strongest and largest forces in the world were gathered in one place.
Soon, Kadun stood up as if he had made up his mind.
"Immediately relay to Kinzelo."
The reporter, who sensed the order, bowed his head heavily.
"Let's form a temporary alliance and attack the Garden of Swords together. Today we will destroy Runcandel with them...…!"
The reporter left the commander's room.
What will you do if Kinzelo rejects the proposal?
Hedo, Octavia, and the scribes did not ask Kadun such a question.
Because they were sure Kinzelo couldn't deny it. Zipfel and Kinzelo considered their powers to be roughly equal at the moment.
This meant that neither side could face Runcandel alone. The gap wasn't even significant enough to express as "they didn't know until they fought."
The power of Runcandel, which was witnessed by the leaders of each faction, was at a level that they could never win without joining forces when the opportunity arose.
"By the way, I'm curious about one thing. Why did they keep their power hidden until now… We would have had a hard time holding out if they had launched a full-scale attack at any time," Hedo said, exhaling cigarette smoke.
"Either they judged that it was still not enough to cleanly defeat us and Kinzelo individually, or there may be dangers and constraints we're unaware of, or there could be some issue between Rosa and the Prophet."
"It just feels too overwhelming to be simply exercising caution."
"I'm also anxious about that, but we can't just back down."
"I think so too, Lord Kadun. The 12th flagbearer has caused internal strife, and I don't think there will be a better opportunity than now to cooperate with Kinzelo."
It was an hour after the mage sent by Kadun reached Kinzelo's fleet.
Even then, the battle between Jin, Lionel, and Stam continued.
Just an hour ago, Jin's flame of hell seemed to be breaking through the chaos that covered the garden of swords little by little, but now it seemed that chaos was struggling to suppress the flames.
Just like the chaos that is spreading beyond Kalon to all over Huphester, the flame continues to grow in size.
"Among those who remain in Runcandel right now, the only person who can handle such a battle is the Black Panther. Leader, in my opinion, this is an opportunity that won't come again. The Black Panther will surely be with the Prophet, and when the battle is over, there will surely be a blow to the entire Chaos covering the Garden of swords."
At Berakt's words, Orgal shook his head.
[Berakt, it is not Rosa Runcandel who is facing the 12th flagbearer.]
"Did you say it wasn't Rosa Runcandel?"
[The Prophet must have summoned the old sword of Runcandel. By using the city's residents as sacrifices. If Rosa Runcandel had been directly involved in the battle, the chaos that had already colored Kalon would have shown signs of instability. All that chaos spreading is through Rosa Runcandel as a medium...]
The leader was sure. All the residents of the city of Runcandel, Kalon, without exception, had already become materials for the creation of chaos.
This time, even Bubare and Ainas couldn't utter any foolish remarks.
Runcandel, soaked in chaos, was stirring up intense fear even in those idiots.
"Huh, does that mean they can keep summoning such formidable beings in the future?"
[If the materials are sufficient, probably... any amount.]
"All right, leader. That, then...… wouldn't it be wise to accept Zipfel's offer of a temporary alliance?"
[We will do so, Joe. You should go right away and prepare the complete Plutonian-type golem.]
"All right!"
There was silence for a while.
-[The vice-leader's opinion is correct. Perhaps Zipfel had a similar plan. When Jin and Runcandel both take a big hit, if we and Zipfel hit Runcandel together. I don't think it's going to be easy to handle, no matter how powerful the garden of swords.]
While Joe was gone, Orgal recalled what he had said at a meeting not too long ago.
Those words needed to be corrected.
[Today, even if we and Zipfel join forces, it is impossible to completely destroy Runcandel.]
"You don't want to end the Prophet, do you?"
[Zephyrin, you keep acting recklessly.]
"Tsk. Can I mess around in front of anyone other than my master?"
[Her life or death is not that important to me. What matters is that we are in a slightly different position from Zipfel right now. We proceed with the war in a direction that inflicts damage on both Zipfel and Runcandel. It seems necessary to suppress the power of both sides to buy time.]
"Of course, if we don't want that to show, we have to be prepared to lose quite a bit, right?"
At Margiella's words, Orgal nodded his head.
[Also, the second goal is the survival of Jin Runcandel.]
"I beg your pardon!?"
Zephyrin exclaimed, and Margiella's eyes twinkled.
[Even now, can't you see it? He's invaluable for restraining both Runcandel and Zipfel in the future. He must not die here.]
"Why don't you think that Jin Runcandel could ultimately finish us off too?"
[Zephyrin.]
"Uh, why, why, why do you see it that way?"
[You look afraid.]
Zephyrin snorted.
"Yes, I am a little scared. It's because my mean master is showing very insignificant appearance."
[Don't worry too much.]
"Alright, then can you at least help me restore my dignity?"
[Zephyrin, you will lead the vanguard. You can use my power as much as you want, so make sure to inflict irreparable wounds on your enemies.]
The moment Orgal said that. Suddenly, the sky over the fleets of the major factions began to turn black.
And in that sky, a woman's voice resonated, as if a god were speaking.
[Zipfel, and Kinzelo. I've been feeling very uncomfortable because I haven't been able to tear you guys apart the way I want...….]
It was Rosa Runcandel's voice.
[But now you're tainting even the last reunion with my son. You will have to pay for it. If you think you can't handle it, I suggest you flee now.]
As soon as she finished speaking, a gigantic battleship descended through the black sky from above Kalon.
[If you can...….]

章節 480: CHAPTER 639
[T.L: punisher87]
[My ko-fi link:- https://ko-fi.com/punisher87 ]
A black ship, seeming to trample the sky as it floated.
With a hull length of nearly 5km, 'Ram' was completely overwhelming other battleships in the sky from its size.
"Is that... a battleship?" Octavia spoke with a disbelieving voice.
As she said, the form of Ram was more like an 'aerial fortress', like the main hall of the battle gods hall than a flying ship. It was not a battleship, but seemed like an entire black island floating in the air.
"When did Runckandel manage to create something like that...!" Kardun exclaimed through gritted teeth.
The major factions, who had visited Huphester with great vigor, once again felt their blood run cold in front of the hidden power of Runcandel.
It was almost despairing.
How much did we truly know about Runcandel until now?
The leaders of each faction could only ponder the same question.
'We knew nothing... absolutely nothing...! How could we have been so unaware of the terrifying power they were hiding!'
Regret was futile.
"... I was wrong. We shouldn't have come to Huphester," Hedo quickly admitted, realizing that his decision to prepare for an all-out attack was wrong.
"It is not your mistake. Kelliark also gave the final approval himself, believing that this judgment was correct. It is the mistake of all of us who had no idea of their power until now. Damn it! Even the fleet rotation seems to be difficult."
They were already too deep into enemy territory to retreat. Even far behind each fleet, the sky was pitch black. The energy of chaos was blocking the return path of battleships.
It was also confirmed that the fleet was pulled towards Ram beyond the rotation interruption. Zipfel was being forced to make a decision.
To stand and fight.
Ram's attack had not yet begun. It was overwhelmed by its energy and appearance alone, but they didn't know until they got attached.
The major factions also brought forth their maximum firepower.
"If we try to forcibly retreat, we will only be attacked unilaterally. Besides, there must be limitations on the operation of such a huge battleship. We must find and exploit those limitations somehow. Kinzelo must be considering that too!!"
Kinzelo was thinking exactly what Kardun said.
[This is unexpected even for me. To think they've already created something like that. Was the despair harbored by Rosa Runcandel and Joshua Runcandel truly of such magnitude? It's truly a manifestation of the evil god...….]
Orgal was the only one who had seen Ram firsthand in the past.
At that time, Orgal had concluded that even himself in his prime could not handle Ram's firepower.
If there was any silver lining to the misfortune, it was that Orgal believed the Ram was still not complete.
[Jin Runcandel, everything depends on him.]
"Leader, what do you mean by that?"
"Master?"
[Even though it's not yet complete, as long as the Ram exists, neither we nor Zipfel can penetrate the airspace and enter the Garden of Swords. Retreat would only result in great losses.]
The leader's dimensional portal was also affected by chaos. Chaos put restrictions on all types of transfer gates such as Mort's dimensional movement and the Red owl's spatial jump.
If the dimensional portal were forcibly opened, Kinzelo would suffer catastrophic damage without being able to inflict any significant blow to Runcandel in the meantime.
[The only one fighting from within is Jin Runcandel. We can only hope that he can deal a blow to the Ram's power. Neither attack nor retreat. Only then will it make sense.]
Ram's power.
A chaos engulfing the entire Garden of Swords centered on Rosa Runcandel. There had to be a problem with that. In order for Zipfel and Kinzelo to get even a little gain and plan their next move.
[I will give new orders. The entire fleet responds to Ram and supports Jin Runcandel. Saving him is our top priority.]
Lead the war to inflict damage on both sides of Zipfel and Runcandel.
Orgal quickly reversed this order. He judged that if Jin died without hitting Ram's power, then the only result that the giant forces would receive was catastrophe.
Thus, the aerial battle between the two major factions and Runcandel began.
Of course, it was Ram who started the preemptive strike. The center of Ram's hull was distorted like a whirlpool, and gathered the energy of chaos.
The main cannon, typical weaponry for a conventional battleship, was unleashed by the Ram.
But the next moment, the Ram's onslaught surpassed all known types of cannons in the world in terms of sheer scale. It seemed to scoff at any comparison.
Kwaaaaah...!
The black streak dividing the sky first struck Zipfel's fleet.
Kadun, who had already transformed into his true form and came out of the battleship, had to spread the flames with all his might from the start.
The battleships were close to each other, deploying a protective shield. The protective shield that contained all of Zipfel's technology and mana seemed to struggle against the black energy spewed by Ram.
But within seconds, they were mercilessly torn apart.
The shield centered around the flagship of the second fleet, Kozec 2, was the first to break. Kadun and the other strong ones, along with the nearby fleets, had no time to intervene.
[Ahhh...!]
Kadun's roar was drowned out by the thunderous destruction of the fleet.
Rosa, standing at the forefront of the Ram, burst out laughing as she saw that.
[It's so good to see you struggling like a bug...… Zipfel's fire dragon.]
Rosa's voice was faintly trembling, as if she was overcome with ecstasy. However, the Prophet felt uneasy about her demeanor.
'The speed at which your mind collapses is too slow. I'm proving everything, but why are you still wary of my power, Rosa Runcandel...…!'
A single cannon fire silenced Kozec 2 and drove the 2nd fleet of Zipfel to near annihilation.
The current power of the Ram that the Prophet anticipated was at least 50% greater than that. It wasn't fully realized due to Rosa's caution towards her.
Rosa saw through the Prophet's inner thoughts completely.
[I guess it upsets you that I'm wary of completely assimilating into you even though you are proving such a level of capability?]
"That's not it."
[The day will never come when Runcandel is completely subordinate to you. All you have to do is provide power. You are just a parasite that feeds on my clan...….]
"Ha, it's regrettable that you reject a more effective path. You always do."
[It's all up to my judgment. Don't forget that you are nothing more than a servant of the clan, Ilina Runcandel. Is my youngest son still there?]
"Since Sir Stam and Sir Lionel are there, it will be resolved soon...."
[That alone won't suffice, surely you know that. You are expecting me to take action myself.]
The Prophet bowed her head.
Rosa was definitely on a different level from Joshua. The Prophet couldn't control her in the slightest.
[This is your last chance. If, after today, you dare to question me again, even once... I will terminate our contract.]
"I am sorry."
[Summon him.]
When Ram's first barrage ended, Kadun's scales turned all over his body, and he was breathing heavily.
For the first time in my life. He felt a sense of complete loss of will to fight.
A sensation that he had not felt even when he faced Murakan a thousand years ago shook his insides.
Nevertheless, Kadun gathered fire breath with all his might. If it had been another dragon and not him, they would never have done that.
[Sheenu's protection will be with us...…!]
As Kadun rushed in, Zipfel's fleet was also advancing at the same speed using Ram's attraction force.
Indeed, they also had potential. The place where Kozec 2 disappeared was filled with a new spectre fleet that had been summoned before anyone knew it, and the shield that had collapsed from Ram's attack was being restored in an instant.
All were assisted by the fire emitted by Kadun. Hedo, along with Octavia, mounted the Wind Dragon Salion and fired sword energy, and after that, the spectre performed chain magic.
It took some time for Ram's main cannon to be ready again. From what they could see with their eyes, the speed at which the energy of chaos was gathering in Ram was not very fast.
From the rear, Kinzelo was charging. Unlike Zipfel who had withstood Ram's attack, they hadn't taken any damage yet.
Zephyrin, who stood at the forefront, was bigger than ever. She is drawing all of Orgal's power, which she hasn't been able to use due to restrictions.
However, since Orgal has not fully recovered yet, there are obviously limits to her ability to recreate her prime.
About an hour.
Though not overly long, during that time, she could engage in battle as a being approaching the strongest in the demon world.
So, Zephyrin was full of confidence. Unlike those stupid Zipfel bastards who didn't bring Kelliark, she was pretty sure that she'd be able to deliver a decent blow to Runcandel.
Until Ram released what it held within.
[Didn't I tell you, Zephyrin? Before Jin Runcandel creates a variable on the ground, you won't be able to hit Ram. Don't be greedy.]
[Damn it, Master! What else is that!?]
[Chaos, her creatures....]
Aaaaaaagh-! Aww!
Hundreds of dragons escaped from Ram's hull.
The creatures of Helluram that should be called 'Chaos Dragons'. And likewise, there were hundreds of black ships.
The Chaos Dragon and the Black Ship were escorting Ram. It is constantly breathing and shooting its main cannon, and spreading a shield to receive attacks from the two major factions.
The entire sky was ablaze with chaos. The scene of war seemed not like a battle between humans but more like mortals struggling against evil god.
The chaos dragons let out grotesque cries as they bit Zephyrin and fleet.
Amidst the explosions of blood, flesh, chaos, and bones everywhere,
Orgal gazed at the ground, in the middle of the Garden of Swords.
Jin's flame of hell was fading away.
* * *
Haah, ha...!
Jin gasped and looked down at the fallen people. Stam stopped moving with only half of his body remaining, and Lionel was on one knee, coughing up froths of blood.
'Lionel's decisive killing moves were definitely dangerous... Even if his mind was corrupted, the patriarch was still the patriarch.'
Jin's injuries were revealed between the broken Multa runes and armor.
It is true that his stamina was rapidly depleted, but it was not to the extent that he could not continue fighting.
Before going to finish off Lionel, Jin looked up at the sky. He saw Ram, the Chaos Dragon, the Black Ship, and the fleet of major factions fighting beneath it.
'We are going to go against those things... I don't know if the elder chief can survive.'
Like those outside, Jin was getting a little nervous about the clan's unexpected strength. Even at a glance, it seems that the two major factions were already being pushed back.
Lionel raised his head.
[You are the strongest descendant of Runcandel I've personally faced... You were born in the wrong era. If there were someone like you in my time... then the evil god would not have been born in our clan.]
Jin doesn't answer, but approaches Lionel and decapitates him.
Then, as he tried to find the Prophet, Lionel's head that fell off was still talking.
[Also, the clan's heroes wouldn't have to fight such a dishonorable fight against their brightest descendant...….]
Jin felt the energy of another old hero appearing from the mausoleum. It was an energy that Jin had seen once before.
