The first form of Battle God's ultimate technique, open.

Along with a shockwave, an enormous force and energy violently shook the space, causing existing fissures to spew out blood-like chaos.

In the unsteady space, the two individuals stared at each other for a few seconds.

Jin was the first to close the distance. His blue shining sword and body moved like light, charging towards Luntia.

Crack-!

An earthquake occurred as Sigmund and Charles clashed. In the first exchange after unleashing the Plutonian's Reign Sword, Jin realized that Luntia had become even stronger than before.

'Elder Sister Mary's Volcano!?'

The 7th decisive killing move of the clan that was independently transformed by Mary Runcandel. Her volcano is used as a strengthening technique, unlike the original self-destruct mechanism.

Jin had never heard of Mary teaching Luntia her volcano.

 '... No, it's different.'

Mary's Volcano puts a great strain on the user's body, but it doesn't completely destroy it.

However, the volcano that Luntia unleashed was shattering every part of her body without pause. Like a statue breaking, every part of Luntia's body was torn and exploded, repeating the process of regeneration in an instant.

In other words, Luntia only changed the form of the "explosion" and essentially received a similar shock to the original while unleashing the volcano.

It was possible due to her regeneration through the chaos and her transcendental strong body.

Jin felt sadness and regret while facing such formidable power. It stemmed from the fact that the bloodline with the potential to become the sword of the era ultimately became a monster.

[This is the sword I prepared for you, the youngest.]

[The chaos users that I've experienced so far have no qualms about breaking their bodies.]

Not only the ones without power, but also those with power, mostly acted the same. Ron, Smarion, Stam, Lionel, Padler, and Luntia, whom Jin had faced.

Only Ron Hairan had finally overcome his madness and risen to the ranks of Genesis knight, and the meaning behind that fact was clear. Only those who are cautious about breaking themselves can move on to the next stage.

Otherwise, they can only end up jumping into the fire like a moth.

[What do you mean by that?]

[Elder Sister, you have become stronger, but that's all there is to it.]

[You are already vomiting blood.]

Even as her body repeatedly broke and regenerated without rest, Luntia remained stable.

On the other hand, Jin took a step back little by little from the moment she started to attack in earnest.

Of the three powers that Jin possessed, they were organically connected and filled in the deficient parts of each attribute. Since the shadow force is the core of strengthening among them, it was bound to be lacking in all aspects than usual now that it was exhausted.

[Of course, you must still have hidden sword techniques. Show them to me, I want to feel thrilled.]

With a crazed laugh that echoed like a maniac, Luntia was becoming more and more ferocious as the fight intensified.

'Is madness covering the pain?' Jin thought as he watched her thrash about.

Jin's movements gradually reduced unlike Luntia who ran rampant.

Luntia judged that Jin's physical strength was consumed faster because he was quite exhausted when he came here, and that's actually true.

Jin was simply becoming more cautious, waiting for the opportunity to end the fight in one fell swoop.

[You seem to know everything, don't you?] Jin taunted.

[Stop the nonsense, this is my last fight.] Luntia replied.

The bones were shaking and shuddering. As Luntia's sword increased its speed, Jin could feel Charles digging deeper into his flesh.

It's not that Jin didn't gain anything.

'It seems there are gaps in her regeneration?'

In real-time combat, there are inevitably physical limitations that can cause a fighter's body to break down. The gaps between attacks were so short that only someone as skilled as Jin could detect them.

Jin was analyzing the pattern of these gaps.

Although they were irregular to the point of being unpredictable, Jin felt that he could impose his own rules. He would guide Luntia's attack patterns in the direction he desired.

'I don't have the senses of the sister battle god, but it's possible as long as Elder Sister Luntia doesn't stop.'

Jin's swordsmanship began to take on a soft form like water.

Luntia thought that this was Jin's chosen countermeasure. Of course, that doesn't mean Luntia hasn't prepared anything.

She had expected that Jin would have some countermeasures. But she couldn't keep up with Jin's moves because she lost her mind.

And when Charles brushed past his neck two more times, Jin had the perfect opportunity to finish Luntia off.

'Now.'

As Luntia's attack began to shift from bottom to top, Jin leapt into the air as if propelled by an external force.

Luntia didn't miss the gap and unleashed a series of lightspeed thrusts to the location where Jin's body floated and the expected landing point, and it was a blind spot that Jin couldn't perceive.

You can't avoid it.

At that moment, Jin unleashed the next form of the battle god's ultimate technique that he had been saving.

Plutonian swordsmanship Battle God 10th Sword 2nd form

Plutonian Reign Sword – War

The lightning energy formed in Jin's eyes emitted an even bluer radiance. As if Luntia had been waiting for that, she focused her energy on Charles' sword tip.

Along with the murky black light unique to chaos, the heavy black light of Aura was forming together.

Runcandel 4th secret technique 

Black cross

A sword that Jin has seen once when dealing with Hedo in the past.

Charles's blade, drawn in a cross, seemed to slice through Jin from side to side. Although Luntia also felt the sensation of slicing flesh while wielding her sword, it was shallow.

'There are times when Joshua is helpful.'

In the past, when fighting Hedo at the Tower of the White Night, Jin had once seen Joshua's black cross.

Luntia's secret technique was incomparable to Joshua's, but Jin was able to minimize the injuries because of memories of that time.

Soon, the Black Cross sword technique surrounded Jin, drawing a huge circle, and in the midst of it, a cross-shaped black sword energy poured out, instantly engulfing Jin.

It all happened in an instant. The Black Cross sword technique was torn apart by the lightning energy of the Plutonian reigning sword.

Of course, the ultimate technique of the Plutonian's reign sword that Jin unleashed was beyond Luntia's expectations. For the first time, Luntia seemed to be stepping back, but she was still receiving most of the lightning energy that pierced her body.

[Kuh haha...!]

Luntia's body was repeatedly pierced with holes the size of human heads that kept appearing and disappearing.

The rate at which Plutonian's reigns sword destroys her body and the speed at which it was regenerating were almost the same.

'The volcano hasn't lifted yet. Still, sister Luntia is almost an immortal being in this subspace with this much regenerative power.'

Luntia withstand the second form of Plutonian reign sword and the blows of her volcano.

There are only a handful of people in the world who can withstand this level of damage. Even those who are stained with chaos.

Luntia is not originally able to do it, but the reason she was holding out was because of 'Luntia's subspace'. All of the chaos energy that made up this subspace was no different from Luntia herself.

In other words, Luntia is using all the subspace energy that Solderet originally created.

That is, Jin had to destroy an entire subspace in order to kill her. As long as the energy of chaos remained in subspace, it was impossible to kill Luntia.

[Kaaaaaa...!]

Luntia, who had been blown away by the shock wave of the Plutonian Reign sword, was struggling like a trapped beast.

She knew that if she could reach Jin just once, she could strike him down.

She also knew that if Jin had come without using up his stamina, she could never have defeated him.

Jin was sweating and controlling the lightning energy of Plutonian Reign sword.

He had reached the point where he was not experiencing any backlash, but he could not stop the rapid consumption of his aura.

Luntia was right.

If Jin had entered the tomb with his shadow force fully intact, the situation might have been the same, but the outcome would have been different.

If Jin had his shadow force, he would have surely won the battle even if he had fought this kind of exhausting power battle with Luntia and her subspace.

But not now. Even though Luntia's regeneration speed couldn't keep up with the destructive power of the Plutonian's Reign Sword, eventually when battle reached the end, Jin's energy would run out first.

Even if Jin added his mana from now on, it was the same. It was rather dangerous to add mana to the 2nd form Plutonian Reign Sword unleashed.

If a gap inevitably occurs when mana is used, the precarious power struggle will lean toward Luntia at once, and since subspace is a 'dead world', Jin couldn't summon Tess.

The stride of Luntia approaching Jin was gradually widening. Even while Luntia's body was twisting, the sword she held, Charles, was aiming at Jin precisely without moving, like a haunted ghost.

[You must be tired... and frustrated... I understand... it's unfair.]

At Luntia's words, Jin once closed his eyes. However, the decisive moment for Jin was right now.

He had no intention of risking his life by adding more mana or releasing more aura than his limit to face her, who had the entire energy of the subspace.

The last move that Jin had saved for facing her, who was connected to subspace, was his shadow force.

A connection point. Jin was convinced from the beginning of the battle that there would be a connection point linking Luntia and the subspace.

Luntia was not originally the owner of the subspace. She became the owner only by the trickery of the prophet.

Therefore, it was natural that there had to be a connection point to be assimilated with the subspace, and Jin had read the movement of shadow force throughout the fight.

The use of the Plutonian Reign sword was precisely a means to accurately locate the connection point.

'There they are.'

Srrrr...!

Amidst the roar, Bradamante quietly emerged from the sheath. Nearly all of the shadow force was consumed to open the door and not even a drop was left.

Jin raised all of his remaining shadow force and opened Bradamante.

[No, this is the end, elder sister.]

Plutonian reign sword was released.

Immediately afterward, Luntia recovered from all her wounds, and Jin cut off the connection points between Luntia and the subspace with the black-stained blade.

Luntia didn't show any sign of further recovery as soon as the connection points were severed.

Jin anticipates that Luntia will recover on her own, and takes advantage of the moment and stabs the blade into her chest.
