Chapter 796

[You… Ah, I almost forgot. So you are the ancient Legends I sealed right before I fell asleep. Did the seal break when I awoke?]

Jin looked at the ancient Legends, who resembled Jin’s brothers but exuded a completely different aura.

The only difference between them and his brothers seemed to be the color of their hearts of light and lightning.

‘There are five… But their lightning energy is red. It feels unfamiliar.’

The ancient Legends were also aware of Jin’s presence.

It was because they could feel a similar energy flowing from Jin, who appeared to be human.

“Well, it turned out that way. But hey, I was waiting for the moment you would create your avatar… I didn’t expect you to have friends already.”

The members of the ancient Legend tribe were sure that Ameris would create an avatar because they knew her original body couldn’t leave this place.

Since many years had passed, they were sure that Ameris would create an avatar to investigate the current situation.

“Besides, that human emits a similar smell to ours. It’s quite unpleasant… What is it? The remnants left by those bastards of the Blue Legend Tribe? Judging by the blue lightning, it must be from the Blue Legend Tribe.”

The term “Blue Legend Tribe” was the name that the ancient Legend Tribe used to refer to their counterparts who opposed them.

The Blue Legend Tribe and the Red Legend Tribe, who were part of the ancient Legend Tribe, called each other that way and were in conflict over the death and resurrection of the sun god and wanted to become the sole owner of the name “Legend”.

“Do I look like remnants of someone to you?”

“Well, even though those bastards of the Blue Legend Tribe were inferior, they weren’t stupid enough to leave behind human remnants. So let me ask you one thing, insignificant human. How did you obtain that power…?”

Bzzz!

Suddenly, five blue lightning bolts struck the members of the Red Legend Tribe.

They immediately reacted and blocked the lightning, but they all blinked in astonishment.

The members of the Red Legend Tribe were deeply shocked that a human had boldly launched a preemptive attack in front of them.

It was something that could never have happened in the world before they were sealed.

Above all, the members of the Red Legend tribe felt an impact as if their arms had been completely severed when they blocked the lightning.

“Ask me again, do I still look like an insignificant human to you?”

The member of the Red Legend Tribe, who had been speaking arrogantly, closed his mouth and suppressed his expressions of bewilderment.

“I guess not. The current Legend Tribe consists of thirteen Kings of Battle and one God of Battle.”

“It seems the system centered on the God of Battle and the Kings of Battle has been maintained. Is that number based on the standards of the Blue Legend Tribe?”

The figure who was at the center of the Red Legend Tribe members spoke.

He had the calmest gaze among them and was the leader of the group.

As soon as he opened his mouth, the atmosphere of the other Red Legend Tribe members, who seemed ready to speak immediately, calmed down.

In Jin’s eyes, he was the only one among the five who directly faced reality.

“It’s not the Blue Legend Tribe, it’s the Legend Tribe. There is no Legend who uses red lightning. There is no record of them. It seems they were in conflict with the ancestors of my brothers in the past. As you can see, the Legend Tribe remains the only one, and the sun god they were trying to revive is still dead. In other words, they could be considered as defeated ghosts.”

“We are not dead, so we are not ghosts. So, human of the Blue Legend Tribe, what is your hierarchy?”

“Thirteenth King of Battle and the successor of the God of Battle.”

“Impressive. There were many immortals in our time who favored the insignificant human race, including Ameris. They said that despite their lower level of civilization, humans had infinite potential. It seems those words were correct. We perished, and you survived.”

“I’m glad you aren’t too arrogant about your fallen status.”

“However, now that we have awakened, the war begins again. From now on, we will gather our compatriots and reclaim the lost position. We still don’t know who will be the final victor, do we?”

“You have a great presence. I will remember your name before we fight.”

“Shimat, the one who has no clan. A first-class King of Battle of the Red Legend Tribe.”

When Shimat clearly recognized himself as a ‘challenger’ and responded, the other Red Legend Tribe members looked at each other in confusion, alternating their gazes between him and Jin.

But soon, the Red Legend Tribe members had no choice but to introduce themselves as Shimat.

Since Shimat recognized the opponent as stronger, it was natural.

“…Makiram Jung. Warrior of the Jung Clan, second-class King of Battle of the Red Legend Tribe.”

“Manta Hon. Warrior of the Hon Clan, second-class King of Battle of the Red Legend Tribe.”

“Andolin Hon. Warrior of the Hon Clan, second-class King of Battle of the Red Legend Tribe.”

“Ozen Kam. Warrior of the Kam Clan, second-class King of Battle of the Red Legend Tribe.”

“I will remember your names. I am Jin Runcandel, as I mentioned before, I am the thirteenth King of Battle of the Legend Tribe and the young patriarch of the Runcandels. From now on, come at me with all your strength. You can use dirty tricks by attacking Mrs. Ameris or my companions—it doesn’t matter. However, every time you do, my mercy will decrease.”

Jin gestured to Hedo, indicating that he should protect Ameris and his companions.

“We will wait outside, Jin.”

“Darling, just kill them all.”

“Don’t hurt yourself.”

[It seems those guys have also weakened significantly due to the aftermath of the seal. They are unlucky, encountering this kid as soon as they came out. If only they had kept hiding, they could have enjoyed the surface a little longer]

While Hedo and others were preparing to climb the cliff of the well, not a single attack occurred between Jin and the Red Legend Tribe.

It was due to Shimat’s caution.

He had read Jin’s energy while talking to him and concluded that his current state was far beyond what they could handle.

‘Even if I and my compatriots had all our strength before being sealed, that guy would have been someone difficult to tame… No, he might have been someone we couldn’t deal with on our own.’

Jin looked directly through their thoughts and smiled.

Then, in an instant, he disappeared from the Red Legend Tribe’s sight and moved Sigmund’s sword like a whip.

“Ugh!”

“When I offered you a chance to surrender, it doesn’t mean you should stand still because it’s difficult to calculate the gap between us. If you were my brothers, even if you were the weakest non-combatant, you wouldn’t lower your heads. If the opponent is stronger anyway, it’s more honorable to fight and ultimately die.”

Every time Sigmund fell on the Red Legend Tribe, the entire sky reverberated with thunderous sounds.

The Red Legend Tribe members frantically wielded their weapons, trying to block Jin’s powerful blows.

‘…He summoned a sword from his bracelet, not the scabbard?’

Upon closer observation, they all wore golden bracelets from which weapons were being summoned.

As proof, Jin broke Andolin’s sword with one blow of the King of Battle’s technique, and Andolin immediately retreated and summoned a new sword from his bracelet under the protection of his companions.

‘Is it an artifact? I should take one for myself.’

Despite their weakened state due to the seal, the Red Legend Tribe members showed exceptional agility.

Their coordination was perfect, as if they had always fought together, and individually, their abilities reached a high level.

From their red hearts of light, sharp and fierce lightning flowed endlessly.

“In their prime, the Red Legend Tribe must have been worthy of their name. However, your hearts are not like those of my brothers. Their sword style… it’s calculated.”

“Whether calculated or not, only the strongest has value. When the cries of the Red Legend resound in the world again, you will have no choice but to make calculations. Thirteenth King of Battle of the Blue Legend Tribe.”

Zap!

The first to lose his life was Makiram.

Jin took his life with the ninth sword technique, Annihilation, before covering himself.

“Makiram!”

At Makiram’s death, Manta seemed to lose his sanity and lunged towards Makiram’s body.

‘Even if you fight in a colder manner, it’s not enough.’

Although he felt uncomfortable, Jin struck Manta, who had exposed himself to the attack.

“Ugh…!”

Despite their weakened state, the Red Legend Tribe members were not weak at all.

It only seemed that way because Jin was pouring all his power into facing them.

‘Since Makiram and Manta died, Shimat’s movements have become too simple. It seems he is trying to pull some tricks. Manta’s actions were also unnatural, as if he knew it was his turn to die after Makiram. To exploit the lives of his companions as tools…’

There was a high probability of self-destruction or escape.

Judging by this, Jin looked at Shimat.

“Shimat. What are you preparing, even sacrificing Makiram and Manta? You call them compatriots instead of brothers, because they lack a sense of camaraderie. Or is it that the class gap is so extreme? It’s evident how they throw away their lives as if it was their turn to do so.”

Jin’s voice was filled with anger.

The Red Legend Tribe undoubtedly had the same roots as the Legend Tribe, but such actions were unimaginable for Lafrarosa’s brothers.

“Whatever it may be, I hope there is some value in your disgusting behavior. Even the fact that you share the same roots as me is becoming repulsive.”

Shimat’s pupils dilated.

He didn’t think Jin would realize that Makiram and Manta’s deaths were intentional.

They hadn’t exchanged a single glance to plan the operation.

The sacrifice of the two was a predetermined agreement from the time they wandered together through the battlefield in ancient times.

Boom!

When Jin executed the ninth King of Battle’s technique,

Punishment, he broke the protective shields of the Red Legend Tribe members and closed the distance.

The shields showed no signs of recovering from the Punishment’s strength and continuously broke.

“Kaaak…!”

Among the remaining Red Legend Tribe members, Ozen, who had the lowest combat power, couldn’t withstand the shockwave and blood gushed from every orifice of his face.

Shimat and Andolin blocked the way in front of him.

“Thirteenth King of Battle of the Blue Legend Tribe, you said it’s honorable to die in a fight against a stronger opponent. But true honor is to survive and achieve victory by any means necessary.”

As soon as he heard those words, Jin narrowed his eyes with annoyance.

‘Indeed, they are planning to escape. I didn’t go all out and overwhelmed them completely to leave some alive and gather information. Can they teleport or something?’

When the opponent makes such comments, it means they have already finished their preparations to escape.

Without thinking any further, Jin intended to detonate his lightning and turn them into ashes in an instant.

It would be better to kill them than not to obtain any information.

But as Jin anticipated, Shimat was already prepared.

He had sacrificed Makiram and Manta for this moment.

Sigmund swung his sword towards the remaining Red Legend Tribe members.

However, as if it was an illusion, there was no feeling of flesh and bone being cut by the sword.

The remaining Red Legend Tribe members quickly turned transparent, disappearing like a residual image.

“Tell your brothers that the Red Legend Tribe has returned. Ameris’s (her) destiny will also come to an end this time.”

Even in the midst of turning transparent, Shimat warned Jin with eyes filled with resentment.

Looking at Makiram and Manta’s corpses, their red hearts of light burned like fire.

The remaining Red Legend Tribe members had apparently performed dark magic, using the hearts of light as sacrifices.

“They have lost my mercy by showing such despicable behavior. When we meet again, they will regret not dying today, so hide well and try to stay alive.”

Jin also warned them before Shimat and the remaining Red Legend Tribe members completely disappeared and turned transparent.
