Ha...…!
Lightning poured down wherever Sigmund and Silus's blades collided. They showed no signs of backing down, even as they were hit by the lightning of Plutonian Reign sword vomited by the clouds and the blue thunder poured out by thunder of retribution.
On the contrary, they stepped towards each other more ferociously and quickly.
The aftermath of their battle now ravaged the entire Garden of Swords. The storm of their sword energies had spread beyond the tombs where the ancestral guardians' swords were embedded, reaching the outer walls and the main house.
Kaio, who started attacking again, was not affected by the Plutonian Reign Sword.
Rather, he seemed to strengthen the god killer with Jin's lightning energy, just as he resonated with the energy of battle god.
Still, the whole of Kalon was eroded by chaos, but the energy of chaos could no longer be found in the Garden of Swords.
It was because the lightning of Jin, Kaio, and Padler had erased the chaos in the Garden of Swords.
But to Jin, seeing the blue shining garden of swords now seemed more agonizing than when it was filled with chaos.
[Ahhhhh...!]
Padler roared.
His body was being torn apart. There was a hole in his left cheek, while his waist twisted and snapped, emitting gruesome sounds of bones breaking and resetting.
Just then, a giant arrow from god killer pierced the middle of his chest. Through the gaping hole in his chest, one could see the lightning behind him.
Even so, Padler did not fall down and swung his sword again.
His body, which should have died and stopped more than ten times, only emitted more formidable power with each blow.
Where do I have to cut to finish him?
It seemed like he wouldn't stop even if his neck was dropped. It seemed that he would stop only if everything that made up Padler's body destroyed—his blood, his flesh, and even the last piece of bone.
"Stubborn ghost...."
Kaio said as he pulled back his bow string.
The word "stubborn" didn't refer to the chaos energy that composed Padler. It meant a special condition that Padler was going through.
Transcendence.
The transcendence of a martial artist who overcomes the limits while facing a formidable enemy, allowing Padler to continue wielding his sword despite being torn apart.
Just as Ron Hairan had transcended the fate of death in the war of the sword Emperor castle...… Padler is also crossing the boundary by clashing swords with Jin.
'Temar. I can see it now too...… the next realm.'
With each passing second, Padler felt his body grow lighter.
It seemed that the destructive power of the original, Plutonian Reign Sword, which overpowered the thunder of retribution at the beginning, no longer seemed like a threat.
There wasn't much emotion while he was driving away Sigmund, and even when lightning cut through his body, he didn't feel any pain.
"But even if you go beyond that realm... what meaning does it hold?"
The arrow of god killer passed through Padler once more.
"Nothing but futile hatred, unable to overcome even chaos. You could never defeat Brother Jin. Even if he didn't call me."
Just because you're transcending like Ron, it doesn't mean everyone can achieve results like Ron.
The values of protecting people despite being consumed by chaos and the desire to kill couldn't be the same.
As if to refute, Padler dug in and left a long gash on Jin's chest.
Jin pushed Padler away without flinching, and there was a sound of something snapping as Padler hit the ground.
Then he stood up again and aimed Silus.
As his appearance became more miserable, the energy of the thunder of retribution was amplified.
It was growing endlessly. In terms of power alone, thunder of retribution reached a level comparable to that of Plutonian Reign Sword.
It appeared to be out of control. The blue thunder went beyond the cloud formed by the Plutonian Reign sword and caused damage to Ram, the chaos dragon, and the black battleships.
"In the end, you've lost your reason and started striking even your allies. From brother Jin's perspective, this isn't bad at all."
[He is not losing his mind, brother Kaio.]
Jin rather thought the opposite.
"What?"
[Since it's going to be the end anyway, it seems like he is trying to destroy everything possible in Runcandel...….]
Wow...…!
A massive crack appeared beneath the lower part of Ram. The chaos dragons and black ships that were flying below them instantly turned to ashes.
The major factions waiting outside were able to see Ram becoming unstable for the first time.
Space began to open in the sky.
"As the leader said, the 12th flagbearer is damaging Ram's power...…."
Berakt said. He was mesmerized by the immense lightning illuminating the Garden of Swords, following the blue flame from earlier.
They felt awe and excitement at the sight of such immense power, something they would never have seen unless it was the patriarch, Chiron Runcandel, or the dead Ron Hairan.
[It is not the power of the 12th flagbearer, but the power of the great knight of Runcandel, the Blue Thunder King. Rosa Runcandel and the Prophet have been overly ambitious.]
"... Are you saying that there is another knight like the 12th flagbearer in the Garden of Swords?"
[Yes. But it's a dying ember. The entire fleet, ready for intensive bombardment. We cannot afford to miss this opportunity.]
Unlike Zipfel, Kinzelo's fleet has not yet suffered significant damage.
As the battleships, led by Grenil, gathered at the forefront, the fleet of up to five hundred battleships all loaded their main cannons.
Aaaaa...…!
Like a meteor shower, the bombardment rained down towards Ram and the Garden of Swords. More than 80% of the fleet's attack was directed at the garden of swords, because it seemed that their attack would not be enough to hit Ram, but Zephyrin's breath struck Ram's side.
Upon seeing Kinzelo's bombardment from the opposite side, Zipfel also rallied its fleet. Their main cannons were all aimed at Ram.
[We must strike before Runcandel's battleship recovers...…!]
A mountain of fire was forming behind Kadun. He managed to release all his stored power while enduring Ram's main cannon and tearing apart the Chaos Dragon and the black ships.
'Damn it, the soul of ten great knights from the tomb...… I didn't expect this to happen.'
The Prophet chewed on his lip, eyeing Rosa.
It was Rosa who was instructed to summon Padler. So, even if Padler failed against Jin, Rosa would not blame her.
However, regardless of whether the mission to kill Jin succeeded or not, the Prophet's inability to control Padler stemmed from her own lack of ability.
If Rosa were to later question her about it, the Prophet would once again find herself vulnerable to her scrutiny.
'Ha, nothing ever goes as planned. Judging from the situation, it seems even Padler...… might not be able to defeat Jin. I should have warned her about the dangers of using the soul of the Great Knight.'
Even the Prophet had predicted that Stam and Lionel would not be enough, but Padler's case was truly unexpected.
She knew that even if there were variables such as summoning Plutonian tribesmen and Plutonian Reign sword, if it was Padler, he would be able to put an end to Jin.
'... Perhaps, it might actually be for the best. If even Padler is defeated, then Rosa Runcandel will have to take action herself.'
If so, it is highly likely that the speed at which Rosa's mind collapses will accelerate.
However, the Prophet did not have the justification to speak out before Rosa. So while she was thinking about it, Rosa opened her mouth first.
[I understand why Joshua in the past got defeated like that. Retrieve Padler's soul.]
"Are you saying you'll personally intervene?"
Rosa didn't answer, instead deflecting the incoming flames from Kadun.
Fragments of Ram, chaos dragons, and black ships floated in the messy black sky. In the meantime, Kinzelo's bombardment was hitting the garden of swords.
"Are these humans daring to challenge the gods like us? We only heard from you that it was dizzy outside, but I didn't expect it to be like this."
Kaio fired the god killer and intercepted the cannon fire falling towards Jin. Most of them were offset by Plutonian Reign sword and blue thunder, but occasionally, some shells managed to penetrate through.
Because Jin is arranging the power.
It was only natural because he was dealing with strong men like Stam, Lionel and Padler, one after another. They would have been absolute beings in any era without Chiron.
However, unlike Jin, Padler had no one to block the bombardment, nor the will to fend them on his own.
He didn't even dodge the cannon fire, and continued to radiate blue thunder all over the garden of swords and Jin.
An evil ghost who transcends through hatred, the final destination Padler was reaching resembled a monster like Smarion.
His appearance was no longer of a human. More than 70% of the body, which had been emitting a faint bluish light, had disappeared. His body, floating without legs, was riddled with holes.
How he was holding the sword with only three remaining fingers, with his half head gone, and his only eye was still filled with hatred.
Can this truly be called the result of transcendence?
In truth, the outcome was decided from the moment the Plutonian Reign Sword was executed.
The reason Jin couldn't finish him off was simply a matter of efficiency.
If Jin waits a little bit, the thunder of retribution will disappear and Padler would self-destruct.
After that, if even one of his fingers was left, it was clear that Padler wouldn't be a threat even if he crawled on the floor and came towards him.
The thunder of retribution started to subside.
But the next moment. Just like what happened to Lionel. Jin could see the soul draining from Padler's remaining body.
Unlike Lionel, the soul was refusing to leave the body. He was clearly resisting the Prophet's control.
"I have never seen such a grudge in my life, Brother Jin. Brother? Why are you approaching him? Isn't your shadow sword still unable to cut the soul? He is not even worthy to be cut. He's already a wreck."
Jin had a completely different thought when he was trying to cut Lionel's soul.
Jin was approaching Padler because he wanted to tell him something.
[Sir Padler.]
Padler swung his sword at the approaching Jin. The sword was just as powerful as a child wielding it. There was not even a scratch left on Jin's body.
No matter how great the grudge was, Padler's energy had really run out.
[Sir, you will be summoned again. That's the only reason why the person who summoned you is trying to retrieve the soul now.]
Even then, Padler continued to swing his sword. Resisting the Prophet's soul retrieval.
[So at that time, take revenge on me, rather than Runcandel and Temar from a thousand years ago...…. Please harbour hatred towards me, not the distant past about which even your memories are unclear.]
That would surely be better for you....
With those words, Jin watched Padler's soul escape.

章節 484: CHAPTER 643
[T.L: punisher87]
[My ko-fi link:- https://ko-fi.com/punisher87 ]
The lightning bolts of the Plutonian Reign sword were slowly fading. Jin was breathing heavily. The fatigue from consecutive battles and the mental shock made him feel nauseous.
"Brother, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, for now."
He could still continue fighting. Although his condition wasn't optimal, they still felt he could unleash his maximum battle prowess at least once more.
Jin and Kaio lifted their heads at the same time and looked up at the sky.
When the cloud formed by the lightning disappeared, Ram's lower part was visible again.
The sight of chaos dragons and black ships pouring down like a swarm of bees escaping from the nest, and the scenery of them being destroyed by cannon fire, also shook their eyes in a dizzying way.
At first glance, it seemed that Runcandel was finally on the defensive...… but it was far from over.
As if to ridicule the external assessment that Runcandel was lagging behind in technological development, Ram was constantly spitting out chaos dragons and black ships.
Besides, Ram was reloading its main cannon.
The black cannon that had driven the 2nd fleet of Zipfel to annihilation in a single blow was now aimed at Kinzelo.
"However... we must prepare for escape."
To inflict maximum damage and rescue the knights when the clan does not know his strength exactly.
That was the reason Jin visited the Garden of Swords alone today, and he expected that he had achieved the former to some extent.
'The knights killed today will be resurrected sooner or later, and summoned knights like Lionel or Sir Padler will appear again... but there must be limitations. There will definitely be a significant cost.'
Rikalton. The land that was expected to be the area where humans are sourced to make clones of Joshua's body.
Just cloning him required at least hundreds or thousands of humans.
It is unmeasurable how many human lives would be needed to revive people like Padler and Lionel.
'Escape of the rebels depends on the elder chief's skills and luck.'
Jin wanted to pursue and protect them even now, but that would rather endanger them.
There was no new energy emerging from the mausoleum.
Intuitively, Jin sensed that Rosa would come looking for him.
The chaos that wrapped around the garden of swords was converging to one place again. The center of the black ships, probably where Rosa would be standing.
As of now, there was no chance of winning against her.
As expected, all the maximum power of Kinzelo and Zipfel has come, but even after dealing with the Captain of Black Knights, the summoned former patriarch, and the great knight, Runcandel was still holding out.
"Good idea. Even in my opinion, it would be better to plan for the future. We will need the help of our brethren if we have to defeat the master of this land."
"The same goes for escaping now. Please provide cover, Brother Kaio."
Kaio snorted at Jin's solemn voice.
"Hah, it looks like you are feeling sorry for using me as a meat shield. Don't feel sorry brother, death of summoned beings is not real anyway."
Kaio was already convinced. He knew that for Jin to leave this place, his sacrifice would be necessary.
Jin's gaze turned towards the mausoleum.
Before he started his escape, he wanted to hit the mausoleum one last time, but some of the chaos gathering in Ram's center was forming a barrier near the mausoleum.
"They are openly wary of any trouble with the mausoleum...."
"I was going to suggest hitting that place before leaving, but I guess it's better to just go. Brother."
Needless to say, it seemed that the barrier of chaos could only be destroyed with unleashing a sword that's at least the level of flame of hell or Plutonian reign sword. Or the ultimate technique of shadow sword.
But after that, escaping from here will be impossible.
"I'm convinced that the mausoleum is a very important place and weakness, so it's not bad."
Jin turned around.
Talaris was located in a forest about 150 km away from the Garden of Swords. After breaking through there, Jin had to ride Mort and move to the area where the Red Owl was hidden.
"Shuri."
[Mya!]
The two got on Shuri, who had just been summoned from the ruby.
Far away, Jin saw the chaos knights who had begun to gather again like cockroaches.
However, no matter how many there were, they weren't much of a threat. They would just waste a bit of stamina.
"Let's go to Madame Talaris."
Following the trajectory of Shuri running at full speed, the knights of chaos began to explode in heaps.
And not long after the escape began, Jin and Kaio realized one thing.
"I've been curious about it since before. Aren't those also your enemies?"
Kaio pointed to the rear with his chin.
Kinzelo's fleet had been providing support fire on the ground ever since the two of them battled against Padler. Even now, their support continued to the extent that Kaio didn't even need to cover Jin.
The chaos dragons descending to catch Jin didn't even reach Shuri and oxidized in the air, and all the cannon fire of the black ships were being intercepted.
"They are enemies. They just recognize that they'll need me later. They must have judged that neither Zipfel nor Kinzelo was able to defeat the Garden of Swords alone."
It would be the same for Jin if he can't call his Plutonian brethren back to the human world.
No, he thought that even if he called his brethren, he might need a temporary alliance with his enemies.
Current Runcandel is not just a huge force..…
Just like Glyek, Runcandel had become a huge disaster that hit the entire world.
"Well, they're not completely stupid."
They killed the knights of chaos that stood in the way and broke through the main gate. Ahead, the endless black landscape of chaos continued.
Eventually, even when they arrived near the center of Kalon, the scenery did not change. Only then did Jin know that not only the Garden of Swords, but the entire Kalon was encroached by chaos.
It wasn't entirely unexpected. Surely, materials were needed to harness such chaos.
However, he couldn't help but feel his head go blank when he saw it with his own eyes.
-To me, the survival and prosperity of Runcandel are of greater value than anything else. Nothing can surpass that value.
-Even if billions of humans die in the process of achieving it, in the end, even if the world perishes in that devastating struggle and fight, only a few members of Runcandel remain in it. It doesn't matter to me.
Jin suddenly remembered what Rosa had said in the past.
'Really... are you going to destroy the entire world, leaving only Runcandel behind….'
Like a beast baring its fangs, Ram's center was splitting in half.
The main cannon fired straight ahead and hit Kinzelo's fleet. Zephyrin's huge body was pierced in the middle, and the overlapping protective shields behind it were bursting.
It was the first time Jin felt relieved to see the enemy not dead. Even though Zephyrin's torso was pierced, she fired her breath as if she hadn't been hit, and her power didn't diminish at all.
For the first time in the counterattack of Kinzelo, including Zephyrin, the damage was spreading to Ram's hull as well. The left side of the hull was collapsing.
Clearly, Ram looked weaker than before. That fact means only one thing.
Rosa's power, which was being used by Ram, was being withdrawn. The total amount of chaos was by no means diminished.
Amidst the intense war continuing with no regard for the passage of time.
Before Jin knew it, Shuri covered 50km outside the Garden of Swords. And Jin faintly felt the cold air passing through him.
Talaris was also approaching Jin.
In the past, whenever Talaris came to rescue him, Jin used to feel an indescribable sense of relief.
But now it was the exact opposite.
'No!'
The fact that coldness was already transmitting this far meant that Talaris had already entered the battle, and she was not currently in a state where she could unleash her full power.
And the land stained with chaos was Rosa's domain. An ominous intuition stabbed Jin's head that Rosa could not be unaware of Talaris' movements.
'Rosa Runcandel will definitely try to deal with Madame Talaris before me...!'
It was not known for certain how strong Rosa had become after accepting the chaos. However, even before the Garden of Swords became like this, Rosa was one of the strongest in the world.
The current Talaris couldn't handle her.
[Myaaaaaah!]
After reading Jin's anxiety, Shuri tried to speed up, but she was already at her limit.
"Damn it, Madame Talaris...!"
If something goes wrong, Jin would not be able to face Syris or his other companions. He would have no way to repay the favors he had received from the hidden palace.
This thought was driving him crazy.
"Calm down, brother Jin."
Kaio looked up at the sky and said.
He had been observing the fleet of each faction that had been supporting only Jin and himself, confirming that they were now aiming at a distant point.
Kinzelo and Zipfel also found Talaris and started providing support fire.
"The owner of the cold energy must be a precious person to you, brother. Should I provide cover?"
"Is that possible, from this distance?"
Kaio lifted his longbow.
"It seems you've forgotten my specialty. I am the only Battle King who can fight while supporting my brethren. When it comes to ultra-long-range support, maybe I'm better than sister battle god. I need to concentrate, so clear out the nuisances."
"I got it...!"
Aww-!
Arrows of god killer bow were soaring into the sky. The shining lightning energy flew over a distance of 25km and created huge pillars of light.
With each shot, cold sweat flowed down Kaio's body like rain. Blood flowed from between his clenched lips, and his heart pounded as if it was going to burst at any moment.
Jin didn't ask Kaio about how the situation was unfolding.
It was clear that the cold energy was not extinguished. It was just precarious. It seemed dim enough to go out at any moment.
Finally, when they reached the pillars of light formed by arrows.
Jin was able to see Talaris, gasping for breath with blood all over her.
As soon as he saw her, his heart skipped a beat.
The blood did not belong to Talaris. It was the blood of snow toad Mort. Mort had been continuously teleporting within Rosa's chaos energy while protecting Talaris.
Even that would have been impossible without the supporting fire from Kaio and the fleet. Mort's pure white body was soaked in blood.
"Jin!"
"Madame Talaris!"
Jin wanted to rush over immediately, but he saw a single black blade tearing through the god killer bow's pillars of light in front of Talaris.
It was the sword of Rosa Runcandel, frenzy soaked in chaos.
[Have you come?]
Rosa greeted Jin with a smirk and Jin was drawing Bradamante.
