Swordmaster's Youngest Son

Chapter 732

C732

In response to Jin's determination, the fleet fired cannons, and the dragons unleashed their breath.

The remnants of Chaos Dragons and Black Ships were rusting away in the shockwave.

Jin kept his eyes focused on the interior of the gate amidst the chaotic saturation.

He sensed that the Shadow Energy emanating from within was rapidly intensifying.

"A knight, perhaps. There’s some weight to it."

A sharp hostility emanated from within the fortress, piercing his skin.

He didn't expect to engage in combat with Rosa as soon as he entered the fortress. After all, he hadn’t come alone either.

"Bale."

[What?]

"That guy coming out from inside seems quite arrogant. Go see what he's up to."

"That’s a good idea."

After Jin's words, Hedo intervened, and Bale frowned.

[You want me to go in through the gate alone?]

"Yes. There’s no one more suited than you to explore those dark areas. Sending a Nameless One would take too long. Besides, if a situation arises where a special power like a barrier is needed from within, you should be able to escape more easily, right?"

[Ha.]

Bale sighed and spread his two wings.

His anger toward Jin and Hedo ignited like a scorching power from the edge of Shakan’s blade.

[Damn it, how did I end up in this situation!]

Bang!

Bale headed toward the gate, kicking up a cloud of dust.

The allies watched tensely as his figure disappeared through the gate.

Even after Bale entered, there was no significant change inside the fortress.

However, after about thirty seconds, most of the allies couldn’t help but gasp and sigh.

It was because a formidable knight emerged from the fortress, gripping Bale's head with his left hand and dragging him across the ground.

In his right hand, he held a long sword, more than twice as long.

[I wanted to see how impressive this guy was, given how much the matriarch cares.]

Clang! Swish!

The knight threw Bale in front of him and spat on the ground.

Just like Lionel and other knights of Chaos, a faint indigo glow ran through his entire body.

Only knights who had escaped the mausoleum had that form.

[What a disappointment. I expected someone who could sweep this place clean on their own. But instead, you send this kind of doll first... Disappointed, disappointed, totally disappointed.] ℞aꞐộʙĚṤ

As he spoke, Jin shook his head.

"He's let his guard down."

"He's let his guard down."

Jin and Hedo spoke simultaneously.

The fact that all the allies witnessed Bale’s pathetic state sent a chill down their spines.

"In any case, it’s a super-regeneration issue, Hedo-nim."

"Yes, as long as the belief that one cannot easily die exists, it leads to these kinds of situations. That useless guy is now trying to undermine the morale of the allies that you worked so hard to raise."

"It’s my fault for trusting Bale; there’s nothing more to say."

[Hey, when someone’s talking, you should listen, you know?]

"That guy is also being careless. There must have been numerous unfavorable reports about Bale for the side of the evil god. I don’t understand where such arrogance comes from."@@@@

[You just said you’d do it. Even if all your subordinates attacked him at once, it would only make him break a sweat. Did you think the evil god would have expected you to face Jin in the first place?]

Senga remained calm even in the face of the useless death of his forces.

However, when the golden aura that covered Shakan grew even more intense, he couldn’t help but feel a shiver run down his spine.

Bale had become one of the ten great knights purely through his overwhelming power during Runcandel’s peak.

On the other hand, Senga had been the patriarch of the clan during Runcandel’s most critical decline.

The weight Jin mentioned, Hedo’s recognition that Senga was a formidable fighter...

They were merely assessments implying that he could serve as "the evil god’s guardian."

Finally, they had arrived at this place.

They had faced countless and arduous battles.

Now, someone like Senga was no longer even a minor threat to Jin and his comrades.

As Bale said, when Shakan fell with a dull thud on Senga’s head, the duel between them began.

Senga was a man who became patriarch without ever living in such a desperate era as the current one.

Tsuaak-!

When Shakan fell with a thudding noise on Senga’s head, the duel between them began.

Even after the duel began, Bale continued incinerating the forces that emerged from the gate without effort.

Senga thought to himself.

No matter how immense Bale's power was, he couldn’t handle all the forces. Naturally, the fleet’s bombardment would follow, but once the melee began, they would have to fight while catching their breath.

Bale, who wasn’t letting his guard down, was clearly several steps ahead of Senga.

As time passed, Senga had to narrow his focus on the overall situation and concentrate solely on Bale.

On the other hand, Bale focused more on single-handedly annihilating the forces of chaos.

The battle between them ended when Senga’s long sword shattered, followed by the disappearance of the arms that held it.

[Hoo, hoo...!]

Senga, kneeling on one knee, looked around with a vacant expression.

Throughout the battle, the warships didn’t bombard the battlefield, and there wasn’t a single surviving force of chaos in sight.

Jin crossed the sea of black corpses, approaching.

"Knight Senga, from now on, you are no longer Runcandel. And even after the war ends, no one in this world will respect your remains."

[Kuhk...... Are you saying you can really decide that, despite the matriarch still breathing in there? Your treason cannot succeed.]

Jin slowly turned Senga’s head so that his gaze reached beyond the darkness of the castle from which he had just emerged.

"Those who entered the darkness and pointed their swords at Rosa today will forever have shining names. But those who never managed to escape the darkness’s embrace despite their struggles will have their names buried in contempt and oblivion."

Senga’s face twisted.

Jin looked indifferently into Senga’s eyes, which were trying to suppress his trembling.

He could feel death approaching.

Originally, mausoleum knights could be resurrected through the power of the evil god, but Rosa had never planned to revive Senga in the first place.

Jin thought it was only natural.

Even when Rosa was human, she had never shown any favor to individuals like Senga.

Slash!

Senga fell to the ground.

Jin passed by him, gradually heading deeper into the darkness of the castle.

Hedo, Bale, and the comrades who had descended and were waiting for Jin followed closely behind him.
