Somehow Talaris avoided fatal wounds, but her condition was not very good. She had internal wounds, and the breath she exhaled was covered with blood.
The martial artist who challenged Chiron the most, if it wasn't for that, Talaris would have already been torn apart by frenzy.
"The enemies of Runcandel are attacking the Garden of Swords, yet you came all the way here to Madame Talaris. I didn't realize you held such a deep grudge against her."
The energy of chaos that protected the Garden of Swords, Kalon, and Ram has weakened.
All of that chaos converged on Rosa. In other words, it now solely relied on Rosa's personal strength.
Jin was recalling the nightmare of sword emperor castle war from the enormous chaos that Rosa released.
Rosa narrowed her eyes as if Jin's words were amusing.
[Wouldn't you have done the same if you were in my place?]
Rosa Runcandel would undoubtedly prioritize dealing with Madame Talaris before me.
Jin immediately thought of that the moment he faintly felt the Cold energy of Talaris.
Looking back, there was no reason to be so sure.
It was much more efficient for Rosa to continuously overwhelm the formidable forces of Zipfel and Kinzelo than to deal with Talaris without question.
After the energy of chaos between Ram and the city faded, the cannon fire from each force penetrated the sky above the Garden of Swords more easily than before.
When Jin didn't answer, Rosa smiled.
[You may not want to admit it, but you resemble me a lot.]
Taang-!
A thunderous sound rang out from the god killer. Rosa lightly knocked down Kaio's arrow.
Even though Kaio lost his energy due to ultra-long distance support, even Jin, before he grew tired, wouldn't have been able to easily withstand such power.
"What do you mean by he resembles you? Do not compare the 13th battle king of the great Plutonian tribe with a monster like you."
[Plutonian tribe, this is the first time I've seen you in person. But the first impression is quite disappointing. You are provoking me to save that child...… the Plutonian swordsmanship that the youngest often showed didn't give off such a pathetic feeling.]
"The power obtained through immorality, are you so arrogant to believe in that?"
[Immorality...… I have never been wary of such ambiguous human standards. Even before this body becomes chaos.]
Squeak-!
Suddenly, a black blade swept across Kaio's back. If Kaio's reaction had been delayed, his body would have split in half.
Rosa didn't move. What slashed Kaio was the blade of chaos formed at his feet following Rosa's will.
Before they knew it, dozens of such swords had been formed. The pillars of light are mercilessly sliced leaving only shining traces.
Before the traces were even erased, the black blades swirled and aimed at Jin, Kaio, and Talaris.
"Brother Jin! Don't worry about me, save your companion!"
Kaio shouted as he pushed back the swords of chaos with his arrows.
Jin didn't even have time to answer. Talaris and Mort's frost protective shield, which had been deployed in time for blocking the attacks, were breaking too quickly.
On the other hand, the number of Rosa's blades increased in number with each blink. One hundred, two hundred, three hundred...… Rosa's first move was the moment Jin rushed to Talaris.
[The value of the clan is dominance by force, not immorality. That's what you often said. It was like that before. I've often thought about it but I don't know the difference no matter how much I think about it.]
Jin, who blocked the frenzy, took a step back.
[Runcandel has killed countless people so far, and enjoyed conquests and plunder. This will also be immoral for some people. What are your standards?]
Jin didn't hesitate to answer.
"I am a human born in the sword clan and a legitimate heir of magic sword, not a plaything of chaos. That's all."
[That's a good answer.]
Jin took a step back and countered the frenzy.
Rosa's power, which he felt in just one clash, clearly surpassed his own.
It would have been the same even if Jin didn't have the accumulated fatigue and injuries from the previous battle.
In addition, he felt the energy digging into his body through the clashed swords.
'Like poison, chaos is poisoning my body...!'
Chaos, a dark force that plunges humans into demonic nature.
Rosa herself is a huge chaos and the most powerful source of contagiousness. Ordinary martial artists would be engulfed in chaos just by standing near her.
Perhaps even martial artists of 9-star or higher wouldn't be able to withstand her, and even the superhuman would find it impossible to engage her in direct combat for an extended period.
No, it wasn't just a thought, it was a certainty.
Jin could feel the battle god's blood and the illuminating heart beating like crazy and pushing away the chaos transmitted from Rosa.
'It didn't happen when I first encountered it in the Garden of Swords...…. Is it the result of receiving something more from the Prophet after our conversation turned, or was it hidden?'
Either way, Rosa's contagiousness meant one thing. Currently, Jin is the only human who can fight against Rosa in the human world.
[Ilina's words about the Plutonian tribe being immune to chaos are true. If so, you are also beyond human.]
"I can't help but feel that you still want to engage in conversations with me as equals. What's the reason? Do you want some false comfort knowing that you're not the only one who's crossed the line?"
[You'll understand once you have a child, a satisfactory child. How much joy it brings to have a child like oneself. That's all there is to it.]
"You are completely insane. I'd prefer not to be treated the same as you who has succumbed to chaos."
[Well, in that case, Runcandel would have been finished before you came. It seems you're still misunderstanding this aspect about me.]
Madness, or demonic nature.
Although she was said to be insane, Rosa was different from Ron before he defied his fate or Smarion in the Ghost Castle, who had lost his reason.
If she had accepted such chaos, she should have lost her sanity long ago, but Jin couldn't sense anything like that from Rosa.
Instead, Rosa seemed more like a "living person" than ever before.
In Jin's memories the acting matriarch of the clan rarely showed any emotion. Especially emotions such as joy and satisfaction.
The current Rosa genuinely seemed joyful.
She also appeared sad, knowing that she would have to kill her beloved child with her own hands.
Jin's gaze fell on the rear of Rosa, where he saw Talaris and Mort were barely holding on amidst the chaos blades.
[Do you want to save the master of the hidden palace? Well, you probably considered her more like a mother than me.]
The blade of frenzy pierced Jin's chest. He manages to block it with a Bradamante, but he loses his balance and is thrown backward.
I am jealous, huh...
Having spoken thus, Rosa ignored Jin's attempt to block her subsequent attack and turned her body to face Talaris.
For a moment, thoughts about Talaris flooded in Rosa's mind. Looking back, it seemed like she had always been jealous of the master of the hidden palace, not just now. Chiron had always been closer to her than herself.
[I wonder what it would be like if the first sword that saved you took the life of the master of the hidden palace. If so, will it hurt you a little?]
Meteor shower.
The third decisive killing move of Runcandel, the bloodline sword that saved Jin for the first time. The frenzy raised high was calling out black meteors.
The power, surpassing Luna's Mind Blade: Blood Moon that wiped out an entire island that day, shook the entire battlefield before even striking the ground.
However, the black meteor remained suspended in the sky for a while, as if caught in a noose.
1st Ultimate technique of Shadow Sword
First night.
Blocking senses, the first sign of the ultimate technique of shadow sword.
For an instant, Rosa's senses were blocked.
However, before three seconds had passed, Rosa regained her senses and began to control the meteor shower once again.
The first night's shadow force and the meteor sword's chaos began to push each other away, and the struggle between Jin and Rosaa began.
[Is this the best sword you have currently completed?]
The hundreds of black sword energy that seemed to overwhelm the entire battlefield stopped moving. It was the result of Rosa focusing entirely on meteor shower.
Thanks to this, Kaio, Talaris, and Mort were able to stop for a moment to catch their breath.
However, they could not move. The blades that had stopped moving blocked their path like prison bars.
Kaio still had the strength to break through them, but not Talaris.
Mort attempted a short dimensional shift, but the fatigue and thick chaos blocking the dimensional portal to the snow garden made it impossible.
It seemed like time had stopped on the battlefield. The meteor shower and the first night were moving so slowly that one had to look closely to notice.
The ultimate technique of Jin was losing the ground. The layered curtains of shadow force were being torn apart silently by the meteor shower.
Rosa lowered her head, seemingly disappointed.
[Very... impressive sword.]
Her disappointment was not because she thought Jin's ultimate technique was ridiculous.
Contrary to appearances, Rosa knew that her meteor shower was being completely blocked by the first night's shadow force.
The disappointing fact was that she couldn't kill Talaris with that sword.
Cracking...…!
As soon as Rosa finished speaking, the meteor shower disappeared as if absorbed into the first night.
Jin was bleeding from every pore of his face, and Rosa seemed to be staggering from the impact.
But that was all. Rosa would soon unleash her next sword move to finish off Talaris.
Jin didn't have much strength left, but he still threw his body forward.
'If I use my last bit of strength to unleash the Plutonian reign sword again...!'
What comes next?
He couldn't think that far ahead. The only conviction filling Jin's mind was that he couldn't let Talaris die.
In that single moment, his heart was completely dominated by emotion.
To Jin, Talaris was such a person. A comrade who always had significant meaning to Jin.
Kaio also broke through the blades of chaos and went forward with Jin, and Talaris tried to scream. She tried to tell them not to come, to escape and survive.
She also received Rosa's sword before Jin came. That's why she knew that Jin was Rosa's only opponent.
If Jin dies trying to save her here, the world will no longer be able to stand against Rosa.
But before Talaris could say those words. Jin realized that he didn't need to risk his life to save her at this moment.
Above Talaris's head, a dragon was descending. A black light was descending like salvation.
[Long time no see, kid.]
The black dragon, Murakan, Jin's guardian dragon.

章節 486: CHAPTER 645
[T.L: punisher87]
[My ko-fi link:- https://ko-fi.com/punisher87 ]
Runcandel's 4th secret technique, the Black Cross.
Rosa unleashed the sword as the meteor shower shattered.
Frenzy's blade, marked with a black cross, emitted a black energy.
The black cross-shaped energy poured towards Talaris in a circle around the intersection point of the cross.
Rosa was not a pure-blooded Runcandel, but she perfectly executed the decisive killing moves and secret techniques even without a blessed body due to accepting chaos. Her power was comparable to Chiron.
There was no way Talaris and Mort could escape from the countless black cross-shaped blades.
Originally, Jin and Kaio were supposed to risk their lives to pass through Rosa and dive into the energy.
However, it was uncertain whether their exhausted bodies could withstand Rosa's secret technique.
Perhaps they wouldn't just fail to save Talaris but face death themselves.
If Murakan had not appeared now, it would have most likely ended that way.
As the black cross-shaped energy attacked Talaris and Mort, Murakan's huge body suddenly appeared behind them like a black mountain.
At first glance, his body was much larger than Jin's memory.
His wings, spread like a wall, blocked the Black Cross, leaving enough room even for Mort to fit within them.
The sword energy extended from the frenzy was constantly causing cracks in the wings.
It seemed as if the wings would tear apart in an instant, but it was just an optical illusion caused by the flickering shadow force.
[And you too, master of the hidden palace. How did you become so weak? It seems like Mr. Mort is also injured quite a bit.]
Talaris raises her head.
She gave a sly smile because of the relief of being surrounded by Murakan's protective shield.
Although she had just doubted death, now she felt that this dark and gigantic dragon's embrace was the safest place in the world.
"You came at the perfect moment. How did you become so strong, Black dragon oppa?"
[I've just recovered what I lost a little more. And thanks to that, I think neither kid nor I will lose you today.]
"Uhhh, I'm going to fall in love with you."
Murakan possessed 50% of his old strength during the sword emperor castle war when he fought with his comrades.
Not only Jin but also Talaris, who could not feel shadow force as sensitively, could easily recognize the fact that Murakan's current power level was close to his prime.
Jin's shadow force, which had finally reached 10-star, and the crises that Murakan had overcome on behalf of Solderet were returning his old strength.
Murakan spread his wings again. Talaris and Mort took no damage from the Black Cross, and Rosa's expression was distorted.
[The clan's ancient guardian dragon...… I didn't feel any sign of your coming.]
That was why Rosa was angry.
She could feel all the battles that were taking place in the Garden of Swords and the entire Kalon area as if it were her own body.
However, she didn't feel the presence of Murakan at all. It means that Murakan didn't come from outside the Garden of Swords, but suddenly appeared from within.
[It seems your enlightenment is still lacking, Rosa Runcandel.]
Rosa turned around and looked at Jin.
[You and your comrades are truly lucky, the youngest. Whenever you're in a crisis like this, someone always comes to rescue you.]
Rosa didn't know all the details of Jin and his companions' adventures.
But she knew that they had always managed to overcome difficulties with the help of others or each other.
There had never been such a thing in her Runcandel.
No matter how long she waited, there was no hope that returned, and Rosa didn't bother to hide the bitterness that stemmed from that fact.
[This mother... will break that cycle.]
The blade of chaos that stopped in the air began to whirl again. The blades pushed the party even more ferociously than before, as if they were fueled by Rosa's anger.
At the same time, part of Murakan's body scattered into shadow force and caught Talaris and Mort. He quickly moved like a hawk, and instantly appeared next to Jin.
Rosa dispersed blades in all directions from her position. Parts of Murakan's body, transformed into smoke-like forms, were swept away, but it didn't deal him a significant blow.
Despite Murakan's arrival, the situation is still overwhelmingly in Rosa's favor.
Jin, Talaris, and Kaio were not in any condition to fight properly.
And that wasn't all.
Jin could sense Murakan's urgency without the chance for proper greetings.
"Don't tell me you're not in a condition to fight either?"
[It's not that, but my time is running out.]
After the end of the Sword Emperor Castle war, Murakan had been acting as a substitute for Solderet in place of Misha.
Even Misha, who had been in charge of Solderet's affairs before, didn't fully understand the details. As it was beyond the understanding of mortals, Misha and Murakan's roles were simply to maintain their "existence" in Solderet's realm. And leaving that position poses a great threat to the world.
In particular, Murakan is not as skilled as Misha, so his absence could only be brief, especially when using such immense power.
This was why Rosa hadn't sensed Murakan's presence. Murakan had manifested here without any physical movement, directly from the realm of the gods.
There was no time to explain in detail.
[So we need to escape quickly. You can't keep fighting in your current state anyway.]
Furthermore, Elona Zipfel's seal was also a problem. As Talaris's internal injuries became serious, Misha had to bear extra burden for sealing. Talaris had been worried about the seal ever since Rosa attacked her.
Jin nodded. If it's a good thing. In Murakan's view, there were still some limitations to Rosa's power.
[Don't underestimate me, Murakan. Do you think you can escape?]
[Don't be pretentious, Rosa Runcandel. I'm not the only one who's short on time. Right now, I can see things that mortals can't.]
[You're talking arrogantly when your only option is running away...]
Swish!
Rosa dashed forward and split Murakan's breath in half, which he had just exhaled.
The shadow force awls from all directions blocked her path, but the frenzy only stopped when it collided with Bradamante.
"I can feel your anger."
Rosa continued her attack, but Murakan's shadow force and Kaio's arrows limited her movement.
While Frenzy parried Kaio's attack, the shadow force awl grazed Rosa's forehead and cut the horn on her forehead about half a finger and black blood splattered.
Rosa's chaos, which had previously been stable enough to resemble shadow force, began to fluctuate from the moment the Black Cross was intercepted by Murakan, her chaos was in disorder. The color and power became inconsistent.
'As expected, Murakan was right. There are limitations to this infinite power. It doesn't seem to be due to an injury to the horn. Is the medium lacking? Or... there might be some psychological reason.'
Unlike Ron and Smarion before they went against their fate, she remained perfectly rational.
Jin thought that might be the key. It reminded him of what Rosa herself had said: "I have not yet succumbed to chaos."
Regardless, the priority now was escape. Even if her chaos became unstable, it had no effect on her transcendent strength.
Suaak-!
Rosa's sword was relentlessly aiming at Talaris. Every time the frenzy and shadow force collided, the sky opened up.
Murakan used all his strength to prevent the impact from reaching Talaris. He had to worry about the life of Talaris and the seal of Elona, so his nerves were on edge as each second passed.
The battle was at a stalemate. It meant Jin's group was still at a disadvantage.
Even if Rosa had limitations, Murakan's forced return would be faster.
"The escape point is in the forest about 75 km away, black dragon oppa. Can you break through there? There is a teleportation flying ship."
Talaris pointed her finger at the location where the red owl is hidden.
[It's going to be a bit risky, but which way?]
If he amplifies the shadow force to break through, his forced return will be faster.
Murakan raised his shadow force without hesitation. It was better to try to escape than to continue the stalemate, even if his energy would be depleted before reaching the escape point.
"I'll buy you some time, Black Dragon Murakan. Escape with Brother Jin."
The moment Kaio said that. Suddenly, a voice echoed from the sky.
[Murakan! I will cover you!]
It was Orgal's voice. The first flagship of Kinzelo, Grenil, was floating in the air, loaded with an immense amount of lightning energy.
The other battleships were still far away. Orgal had read the situation and opened a dimensional portal to the battlefield where Murakan and the others were.
Of course, due to the chaos, his dimensional movement ability was affected. However, since all of Kalon's chaos was concentrated on Rosa, the constraints were weaker than before.
Murakan recognized that he was Orgal without Jin's explanation.
The lightning bolts were raining down on Rosa.
At that moment, Murakan flew into the sky with Jin and Kaio on his back. Rosa's sword energy pierced Grenil's lightning and surged after Murakan.
It was the 5th secret technique, the light-speed thrust. Although it left deep wounds on Murakan's tail, back, and left wing, he pressed forward without hesitation.
"Are you okay, Murakan!?"
[Of course I am fine, it just hurts. But it's a cheap price for saving you and the master of the hidden palace.]
Thanks to Grenil, Murakan didn't have to amplify his power, so he had some time.
But there was one element that Murakan didn't take into account. Ram, the fact that the huge black ship of Runcandel was approaching. And Rosa was no longer visible in the place where Grenil's lightning disappeared.
She stood in front of Ram, watching the direction in which Murakan was moving. Ram and she were practically one body.
Ram reloaded the main cannon incomparably faster than before. The chaos energy that darkened the sky was becoming more unstable.
"Madame Rosa, how about stopping here?"
At the prophet's question, Rosa burst out laughing.
[Don't you always want my sanity to crumble?]
"Honestly, it's a bit dangerous right now."
Rosa silently accelerated the amplification of chaos, and Ilina watched her with anxious eyes.
