Chapter 414

C414 – Why, Hairan (8)

This time, a sword energy that shone with an even more dazzling blue than the battleship’s cannon shots blocked its path even before Ron’s formless sword energy could.

It was a breathtaking moment for everyone on the battlefield.

It seemed like the convergence of two enormous beams of light.

It was the clash between Rinpa’s sword energy and Grenille’s cannon shot.

Boom!

The cannon shot shattered, and blue fragments rained down like hail.

However, this time, the other warriors didn’t have to deal with those fragments.

It was because Ron’s formless sword energy swept the fragments in the air.

The energy fragments disappeared without a trace, like dust carried away by a strong gust of wind.

Joe couldn’t help but exclaim when witnessing this:

“My God, what the hell is going on!”

Swoosh! The battleship Grenille tilted to the side.

It was Rinpa’s sword energy that had pierced through the cannon shots and even the transparent protective shield, hitting the hull directly.

Such a feat with a single strike was only possible because Ron had previously weakened the protective shield.

Superhuman strength, on another level. Rinpa had instilled fear in the warriors on the ground with just one strike.

It was the true power of the Fourth Battle King of the strongest fighting race that was destroyed in the past.

As people in the world didn’t know much about the existence of the Legends Tribe, they simply thought of it as one of Jin’s comrades.

They found it incredible that such an amazing being would fight for Jin.

“Uwaaa, Uncle Joe! Didn’t you say we would be safe when we got on the ship?” Margiella shouted.

She, along with Bishkel and Bouvard, had been receiving treatment inside the ship while Jin and the attackers were engaged in battle.

“That was the plan, but now there’s an unexpected variable…”

“Margiella, your wounds will reopen. Don’t move,” Bishkel cautioned.

“Ugh, my, my back! Mr. Bishkel, my back!”

“Shut up, Bouvard!”

Joe leaned on his cane and carefully assessed the situation once again.

At first, Joe couldn’t see it clearly due to the surprise…

But it was unmistakably the Legend that attacked the ship’s hull.

It was the existence that served as the basis for the creation of the Legends Golem.

“Huh, Legend…!”

Joe’s eyes lit up, and he smiled.

“They are from the Legends Tribe, Margiella! Once we secure a sample, I will undoubtedly be able to create a perfect living golem… Cough!”

Thud!

Once again, a shockwave reverberated inside the ship.

This time, it was the result of Ron’s formless sword energy hitting the front.

Since the protective shield hadn’t completely broken, it didn’t fully receive the power of the formless sword energy, but still, chaos erupted inside the ship.

“Aghh!”

“Margiella!”

“My back… my back!”

“We need to secure a sample…”

Amid the reflective exclamations, something peculiar flew towards the front.

At first glance, they looked like rocks emerging from the ground amid the shooting sword energy…

But Kinzelo’s members on board could discern blinking eyes inside.

It was Rinpa.

He had jumped from the outer wall to reach the forefront of the Grenille ship in a single leap.

The wall from which he had jumped couldn’t withstand his power and crumbled.

Kinzelo’s members held their breath, and the next moment, they faced Rinpa’s massive sword.

It was as if a colossal beast from mythology had wielded its claws.

The trajectory of the enormous sword drawn in the air was larger than Grenille itself.

Crash!

The blue sword energy pierced through the ship’s hull.

In an instant, Grenille’s demeanor decayed, and the intricate machinery adorning the ship’s surface shattered, sending debris cascading like dust.

Thud!

Rinpa landed on the ground, and a deep semicircular pit formed.

Before the vibrations could dissipate, she jumped again, aiming for the ship’s underside.

Even the Black Knight Barton used his sword energy to fly, but Sister Rinpa… she just jumps and soars, Jin marveled.

Jin knew from his training in Lafrarosa that Rinpa was one of the strongest Battle Kings.

However, this was the first time he saw her fully unleash her power.

Suddenly, he recalled how he had first mocked Rinpa’s silent training.

Jin felt a sense of vertigo thinking about it again.

Swoosh…

Another hole appeared in the ship’s underside as Rinpa’s great sword struck it.

It was nothing special: a simple thrust had caused a crack extending across the ship’s hull.

And just as Rinpa was about to land again.

A storm composed of lightning suddenly erupted from Grenille.

It was even fiercer than the hellish cannon that had been firing moments ago.

Rinpa was swept by the lightning storm and couldn’t land as planned.

An unexpected blow struck Rinpa when she was defenseless in the air, and everyone on the battlefield who witnessed this scene thought of one thing.

Will Jin’s comrade be okay when they come out of that storm?

According to their common sense, it seemed somewhat difficult.

Considering Rinpa’s battle prowess, she might be able to escape, but it was unlikely she would emerge unscathed.

Countless lightning seemed to coil around battleship Grenille.

The entire Emperor Sword Castle was bathed in a bright blue light, and the shadows of those on the ground lengthened.

In the midst of this, Ron’s and Berakt’s swords clashed.

Ron had regained composure, but he seemed somewhat fatigued from protecting the entire castle all this time.

However, his fatigue didn’t diminish the majesty of his swordplay.

Despite shedding much blood and being tired, Ron’s formless sword energy kept sharpening.

Jin continued to observe the battlefield from the outer wall, and, of course, he wasn’t worried about Rinpa, who was trapped in the lightning storm.

“I didn’t know they had such means of attack besides the cannon. These lunatics… will only provoke Sister Rinpa.”

The lightning storm was subsiding.

And contrary to everyone’s expectations.

Rinpa landed on the ground without a scratch.

Her first words upon landing were these:

“Imitating… our power… they are… unpleasant…”

The lightning gathered around her sword emitted an even sharper light.

Rinpa didn’t jump towards Grenille but directed her gaze towards Ron and Berakt.

Since the ship was already damaged to the point of not being able to function properly, she considered eliminating the enemies on the ground a priority.

The White Wolf Tribe.

Truth be told, since it was first summoned, Rinpa felt invaded by a strange sensation after smelling the distinctive scent of the White Wolf Tribe.

It was like encountering an old forgotten toy…

Berakt, who felt her gaze, distanced himself from Ron.

At this point, Berakt, too, was breathing heavily and laboriously.

“You get in too. I’ll face both at once.”

Berakt spoke with a resolute and determined voice.

The title of ‘Great Warrior of the White Wolf Tribe’ is not easy to obtain.

It’s not at all easy to suppress the absolute fear imprinted in one’s blood for thousands of years, known as the Legends Tribe, only with ‘will.’

Among the current generation of beastmen, there were only a few who could muster the will to overcome that fear.

From Berakt’s perspective, saying he would take care of Rinpa wasn’t a bluff.

He had absolute confidence in his own power, like any other warrior who has reached the peak.

But from Rinpa’s point of view, it was no different from a puppy barking.

“You… always bark when you’re scared… whether then or now… Although you seem to be better than… the average White Wolf Tribe warrior…”

Rinpa and Ron charged towards Berakt simultaneously.

There was no avoiding it.

Berakt stood firm against two swords, but the ground he stood on sank completely.

“I don’t know who you are, but thanks to you, my knights can take a break.”

If this battle had been an honorable one-on-one duel, Ron would never have allowed Rinpa to join.

However, for Ron, this battle was simply about repelling the terrorist group that attacked the Emperor Sword Castle and bringing it under control.

There was no need to consider honor when it came to hunting beasts.

“Thank my brother… Anyway, I won’t remember the events of today.”

This was the first reason why Jin didn’t want to call his brothers, although there were many more.

The being that manifested through Black Light Call was more like a guardian composed of shadow and soul force than traditional summons.

They would forget anything they had experienced during their stay in the human world when their souls returned to Lafrarosa.

Jin felt it would be a shameful act to call his brothers who had already perished and been forgotten.

“Is Jin Runcandel your brother?”

Ron hadn’t personally witnessed Rinpa’s exit from the Black Gate as he was busy dealing with Berakt and defending the Emperor Sword Castle alone.

“Yes, he is.”

“I will express my gratitude when the battle is over.”

“How dare you when I’m right in front of you…!”

Berakt roared and swung his greatsword, but he couldn’t resist the combined power of both.

His skin and flesh were being torn apart.

If there had been aerial support, perhaps he wouldn’t have been pushed back so severely…

But Grenille couldn’t gather lightning as quickly as before.

Completely defeating Kinzelo.

That was Jin’s goal.

He wanted to destroy Grenille and, if possible, finish off Berakt and Kinzelo’s members at the same time.

However, there was a consideration.

‘If the situation keeps deteriorating like this, the leader might appear… they could escape with him just like in the Dark Magic Society incident.’

But Ron and Rinpa weren’t the only ones on the battlefield.

There were still dragons, including Murakan and Cuicantelle, in the sky, and now that no more fragments were falling, ground forces could rejoin the battle.

Even if the leader came, it wouldn’t be as easy to escape as it was back then.

Jin clenched his teeth and reached that conclusion.

At that moment…

Psss…!

Suddenly, pieces of “metal shrapnel” gathered in front of Grenille.

Murakan, who sensed the metal pieces, landed next to Jin and revealed his energy.

[Jin. It’s him.]

“Yes, I knew he would come. He’s not one to sit idly.”

Murakan narrowed his eyes with apparent displeasure.

Fortunately…

Jin had time to recover and prepare a specific spell before the leader’s dimensional portal was completed.

“Let’s deal with him, Murakan.”

Jin said as he elevated his mana.
