As the knights departed, Zipple's fleet distanced itself from the castle.
As Amela predicted, Zipple's fleet cannons, including Kozec, had a significantly longer range than Sword Emperor Castle's defense equipment, so there was no reason not to increase the distance.
If it weren't for Ron, they could have quickly dealt with Sword Emperor Castle, disregarding its effectiveness.
However, the situation was different now.
As Hairan's knights left, the fleet also had the opportunity to move slightly out of Ron's range.
Except for Cyron, Zipple had never fought against an opponent stronger than Ron.
Most magicians aboard the fleet had not experienced Cyron firsthand.
Even the dragons, who had not encountered Cyron, remembered Ron's nightmares.
It reminded them of Murakan in his prime.
For the dragons, there was no more formidable existence than Murakan at his best.
The problem was that the terrifyingly powerful Black Dragon was also standing next to Ron with its eyes wide open.
Of course, Murakan had not fully regained his former strength...
But the Dragons, unaware of this fact, found Murakan even more terrifying than Ron.
The wind dragon, Salion, took its place next to Kelliark.
He was the one who had recently become Octavia's guardian dragon when she became the new Contractor of Melzaire.
"It's like seeing one of the old Runcandel's ten great knights and Murakan together... huh?"
Salion, who said that, tilted his head as if something strange had happened.
It was because he felt confused about himself using the term "ten great knights."
The other dragons who heard him only felt that Salion had confused the Black Knight with the name of the ten great knights, and they did not feel any other sense of discord.
Soon, Salion also forgot that he had used the term of the ten great knights.
The Dragons wouldn't be aware of it even if someone else mentioned that name again.
'Certainly, the power of history seems to have weakened a bit...', Kelliark thought quietly.
'There may be an influence from Ron, who is close to the Genesis Knight's domain and has the power to go against fate... but the biggest problem is probably Jin Runcandel.'
Power of Existence.
Kelliark carefully examined the power Jin possessed.
Things were worse than he thought.
The fact that Ron awakened, the fact that he became stronger, and the fact that Jin's Power of Existence expressed itself to a greater extent because of it.
All of this exceeded Kelliark's expectations.
Kelliark felt great discomfort at these unexpected developments.
It was a discomfort derived from a kind of intuition.
He felt as if things were about to twist...
"Octavia."
"Yes, Patriarch-nim."
"When the battle begins, you and the true Spectres will infiltrate the castle and secure the White Stone."
Not long ago, he lost his fleet, some blueprints, and the machine in the Sota desert.
If he couldn't get the White Stone today, Zipple would have to return without any gain even after fighting a knight close to the Genesis Knight.
"Yes, I will prepare the Demon God Orb for infiltration."
To take the White Stone that was already being opened, the Demon God Orb was needed.
"The Demon God Orb will take some time to open, so until then, I will fight alongside the patriarch."
"No, I will personally use the Demon God Orb. You will make arrangements so that the consequences of the battle inside the castle do not affect the White Stone and wait."
"It seems like you are concerned about the possibility of Runcandel joining forces with Hairan."
Since Ron had awakened and reached a new domain, there was a possibility that Runcandel would join Hairan from the start.
The Demon God Orb emitted an aura similar to the chaos of the white stone within which he had been fighting while unconscious.
While Murakan flew towards the rear, most of Zipple's dragons mistakenly believed that he had left because he feared the power of the Demon God Orb and felt even more relieved.
"Jin."
"Yes, Ron-nim."
"There will be those infiltrating the inner castle. Maybe Octavia will take on that role. I'll cover the entire battlefield, but there will surely be gaps. You and the Vamel Alliance work together with the Sword Saints to stop them. Can I entrust you with this?"
It wasn't different from Ron leaving Jin his back.
"It's an honor."
"When the fight is over..."
Ron placed his hand on Jin's shoulder and added a farewell comment.
"Let's have a drink together with my lovely grandson."
It was an indescribably gentle voice, as if speaking to Dante.
To Jin, it seemed as if he could feel the warm affection of a "grandfather," something he had never experienced before.
It was like receiving an unexpected gift before an imminent war.
Rashid emerged from the sheath.
"Kelliark! Let's begin."
Ron's calm and deep voice resonated throughout the area again.
At the same time, the fire surrounding Zipple's fleet grew denser, and the phoenix Belot roared.
The war had started again.
The first attack belonged to Sword Emperor Castle.
Ron directed his sword towards the center of the fleet, at a not very fast pace.
However, the trajectory that even ordinary people could easily read contained the transcendent state he had reached.
His formless sword began to attack the fleet before the action even ended.
The invisible energy of the sword continued to fiercely gnaw at the fire curtain that Kelliark and Belot had opened.
And that was not all.
The formless swords that pierced the fire curtain soon turned into a typhoon and completely covered the entire area of Zipple's fleet and Sword Emperor Castle.
For allies, it served as a protective shield; for enemies, it was a terrifying icy wind that cut flesh and bones.
In one fell swoop, Ron completely took over the battlefield.
Ron's words of "covering the entire battlefield" were not just an expression.
From the beginning...
Belot grew tired of that ignorant invisible energy of the sword, and Kelliark wielded Hroti with wide-open eyes.
Octavia couldn't penetrate Ron's territory, so it seemed she couldn't even begin to infiltrate.
Kelliark forced his way through, continuously firing spatial explosions inside...
But it wasn't easy to squeeze his body through the unstable opening.
While the real Spectres spread the Red Abyss to make way, Kelliark began chanting another legacy of Riol Zipple.
"Ruyan!"
But Ron wasn't the only one on the battlefield.
There was a reason why Ron prevented the Five Sword Saints of Hairan from leaving.
The Sword Saints were able to deploy their greatest strength only when Ron was present.
"I allow the use of the Supreme Sword. Show the power of the Sword Saints to the enemies."
