章節 657: CHAPTER 813
[My ko-fi link:- https://ko-fi.com/punisher87 ]
Alpen and Vallas began to charge towards Jin.
Neither Jin nor the former patriarchs were affected by blood-sucking, so Drek's plan seemed futile.
'I must absorb as much blood as possible from others and my compatriots. If I can't find an opportunity to use the return technique, then it's over...!'
Of course, Jin had no such intention.
"Blame Shimat and Rakiman. They taught me a lesson - you guys are the kind of people who can easily escape anytime."
Swish!
Bradamante emitted a sword aura and left a huge gash on Drek's right leg. Drek gnashed his teeth as if his jaw would break due to the wound of eternal flame. Even when he focused on eternal flame to heal the wound, there was no sign of healing.
"That's why I need to teach you guys a lesson too. If you rely solely on your technology and recklessly attack the Vamel alliance, you'll face the consequences. So, give up on using return technique or dimensional travel to escape and think about a way to die with some dignity, as I said earlier."
[Shut up! I am the Great battle king of the Red Plutonian tribe!]
"Yeah, that's the kind of spirit I wanted to see. Now, try to understand what I'm saying. However, constantly sucking other people's blood is not something I like. Let's change the position."
In the Quassel Plains, there were no civilians present. The Dragon Fortress had collapsed, and the surviving Dragon Knights and dragons had all been safely evacuated by Dante, allowing them to use the entire battlefield without restrictions.
'If Drek had invaded a residential area, there would have been large-scale massacres or hostage situations that couldn't be avoided. I couldn't have overwhelmed him as I am now because I had to protect civilians.'
Just imagining that scene made Jin shudder. Especially since Drek possessed unique abilities specialized for both large-scale slaughter and fighting superhumans.
Teaching them a lesson wasn't just an expression; it meant delivering a terrible defeat that would prevent the Red Plutonian tribe from ever considering attacking the Vamel alliance again. If Drek were to return alive, the Vamel alliance would have to live in constant fear of such terror in the future.
Clang! Thud!
Every time Jin rushed forward and swung his sword, Drek's massive body staggered backward. The former patriarchs who had approached from both sides pressed the flanks, making it impossible for Drek to stage a counterattack. Despite using the Castle Transformation, he couldn't even create a small counterattack.
At times, Drek attempted a counterattack. Prepared for the Eternal flame, he swung his front leg when Jin jumped, trying to crush him with his jaw wide open. He focused his illuminating heart to drop the numerous spears made of red lightning, and even pulverize the ground with just a roar.
However, none of his attempts could harm Jin. On the contrary, every time he countered, he only got his body cut or stabbed by Jin's sword and the former patriarchs' weapons.
It was meaningless, but Drek's ability to stage such counterattacks was entirely due to his blood-sucking ability.
He was constantly regenerating through reabsorbing the blood from the Red fleet. Not only the Red Plutonian tribesmen but also the blood of the Vamel alliance's superhumans contributed to his rapid regeneration.
But even that was coming to an end now.
[Great-grandson! The amount of blood he can absorb is almost non-existent.]
[Seems like this is his limit, the area that his blood-sucking ability can reach. He would have been an extremely formidable opponent if you are not immune to blood-sucking like us.]
As Alpen and Vallas mentioned, Drek could no longer drain blood from the Vamel alliance's side. His wounds were healing significantly slower than before, and his breathing sounded like iron clanking.
"When you faced Sir Hedo, you must have been overconfident. You probably thought that by taking us down one by one, we would eventually fall or surrender. However, not long ago, we defeated opponents who were incomparably stronger than you guys."
Drek had no means to resist anymore. He had already felt the insurmountable wall when facing Jin alone, and now with the former patriarchs, his powerlessness was becoming increasingly evident.
Splash!
As the sword passed through Drek's chest, blood spurted out. He reverted to his Red Plutonian appearance, holding a spear as he looked towards his own fleet, far behind Jin's back. Even though Alpen and Vallas had left the battlefield earlier, the Vamel alliance personnel still standing near the fleet showed no signs of exhaustion.
If Drek's unique ability had continued to affect the battlefield, the situation might have been slightly different, but there seemed to be little hope for the fleet as well. Bale was amplifying the power of the sun and putting pressure on the entire fleet, while Hedo, who had rejoined the battlefield, was tearing the fleet apart as if releasing his anger.
Drek already gave up on victory, and now it was time to abandon any hope of escape. He doubted whether he or any of his compatriots would survive and return.
"Haha. This is why... the sun must be restored. Do you really think the power you possess is worthy of being bestowed upon the inferior race like humans? Since the death of the Sun God, this world has undoubtedly lost its way."
"Well, you guys could also be called followers of the Sun God. Are you looking for your belief now that all hope seems lost?"
"No. I still don't think all possibilities have disappeared, Jin Runcandel. Let's make a deal. If you just let me go, I'll give you the knowledge of our Red Plutonian tribe."
Swoosh!
At the moment Drek finished speaking, he saw his right arm, which had been attached until now, fall to the ground.
"A deal? Sure. But if you wanted to make a deal, you should have come before doing all this. The Vamel alliance doesn't negotiate with you guys now or ever."
Drek didn't look down at his fallen arm and met Jin's gaze. If he averted his gaze now, his neck would probably be the next to fall, not his arm.
"... Is it because of your anger towards me that you're willing to throw away the opportunity for your technology to make a great leap forward? If it's about trust, I'll give you the technology first. Besides, you're in a position where you don't have to keep your promises after receiving the technology. What I'm proposing is a deal where you have nothing to lose."
"That's subjective."
"I will give you all the battleships currently fighting behind you too. Without my orders, you'll never have complete control over that fleet. It has a self-destruct device installed to prevent technology leakage. Analyzing the technology with just the remains will have its limitations."
Jin swung his sword once again, severing Drek's left arm this time. Thud, Drek couldn't even dare to avoid Jin's gaze.
"... What do you want, Jin Runcandel? You haven't completely ruled out a possibility of a deal, so it must be that you're not killing me right away. Tell me, whatever I can do, I'll do it."
It wasn't that the Vamel alliance had no interest in the Red Plutonian tribe's technology.
However, Jin was convinced that if he let Drek live, he would undoubtedly use some tricks. There were still many unknown parts about the Red Plutonian tribe's technology, so there was a high possibility that Drek would try to escape by pretending to assist the Vamel alliance.
"What's preventing me from killing you right now is simple. I suspect there might be someone among those in the fleet behind me recording this moment. Whether it's in text or video, what I want is for it to be transmitted directly to your headquarters. I want your people to fear me even more."
Jin approached Drek, one step closer. Drek unconsciously took a step back.
Just as Rakiman had instilled absolute fear in the beastmen, Jin was engraving his existence into the minds of the Red Plutonian tribe.
The perception that the Red Plutonian tribe should never fight their "archenemy" under any circumstances.
"Now, you should know what your final words should be, Drek Hon. If you really care about those you call your compatriots."
Jin said while holding Drek's shoulders. The fear he was feeling was being transmitted through his palm.
Drek finally, in resignation, shouted.
My compatriots!
Never challenge Jin Runcandel and the Vamel alliance again. We can never defeat them…! as long as our Compatriot Battle God does not return!
With these words, Drek swallowed the rest of his speech and tears of blood welled up in his eyes. Throughout the battle, Drek had been nonchalantly absorbing the blood of other Red Plutonian tribe members and planning to use it as a catalyst for teleportation.
But now, he sincerely believed that his compatriots should never repeat such a mistake. Until their battle god returns, they must not come anywhere near the Vamel alliance.
Using his compatriots as expendables was an act purely for the sake of the "Red Plutonian tribe." The Red Plutonian tribe was an extremist collectivist group, and Drek was particularly extreme even among them.
"That's the right answert. Let me free you from humiliation now."
Woah...!
The Eternal Flame that had permeated Drek's entire body suddenly flared up fiercely. Drek met his end engulfed in the blue flames.
"Now let's go clean up the remnants, Ancestors. Since video of Drek recorded by the fleet will be transmitted with those who will escape by the return technique, let's make sure the Red Fleet is completely destroyed."
[Great-grandson, it's like I'm seeing my younger days again!]
[57th, your younger days must have felt quite different from the young patriarch.]
[20th, it is okay to admit that you lost the bet.]
[Don't you see the remaining battleships? You probably wanted to end it by destroying one more than I did, but unfortunately, the match isn't over yet.]
[Haha! You're right. The result will be the same anyway, so let's give it our all!]
Thus, with a single attack on the Vamel alliance, the Red Plutonian tribe lost their Great battle king and his fleet.
***
{My compatriots! Never challenge Jin Runcandel and the Vamel alliance again. We can never defeat them...!}
The video of Drek's final moments was being transmitted to all the unsealed Red Plutonian tribe's fortresses. The Red Plutonian tribe members watching the video trembled with shame and fear.
No one could have expected that not only would Drek Hon and the Red Fleet be annihilated, but that such a video would remain.
"What the hell is this... Compatriot Drek has suffered to this extent..."
"It's manipulation! There is a human among them who possesses record magic. The video was manipulated with record magic...!"
Amidst the various reactions, Shimat looked at his compatriots with clenched teeth.
"Haven't you heard the testimonies of our compatriots who returned using the return technique? That video contains Compatriot Drek Hon's heartfelt message. We... We must follow Compatriot Drek Hon's will. Never, not even once more, must we meddle with the Vamel alliance. It's been proven that doing so is the fastest path to the extinction of our Red Plutonian tribe."
From now on, our Red Plutonian tribe will only target Zipfel and Kinzelo. Until our battle god returns and all the great battle kings have fully regained their power.
Shimat made up his mind as he continued his words. Arrogant great battle kings kept pushing their compatriots to their deaths, hindering the resurgence of the Red Plutonian tribe.
'Perhaps it might actually be a blessing in disguise. With this incident, the remaining great battle king compatriots will also realize the imminent danger posed by Jin Runcandel and the Vamel alliance. My words have been proven right, and now is the time to truly exclude those monsters and focus on hunting.'
Shimat immediately requested communication with the other great battle kings and expressed his opinion.
{Yes, Compatriot Shimat's words make sense. For the time being, we will completely exclude the Vamel alliance as our target for invasion.}
{Wow... I never expected that Compatriot Drek would crumble like that. I agree too. If we continue to recklessly confront them, there will be no one left. It's amazing that Compatriot Rakiman is still alive.}
The great battle kings did not hesitate for a moment and made their decision. Triumph and defeat, joy and sorrow, the fate of the Vamel alliance and the Red Plutonian tribe were now in stark contrast.
