CHAPTER 643

The lightning bolts of the Plutonian Reign sword were slowly fading. Jin was breathing heavily. The fatigue from consecutive battles and the mental shock made him feel nauseous.

"Brother, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, for now."

He could still continue fighting. Although his condition wasn't optimal, they still felt he could unleash his maximum battle prowess at least once more.

Jin and Kaio lifted their heads at the same time and looked up at the sky.

When the cloud formed by the lightning disappeared, Ram's lower part was visible again.

The sight of chaos dragons and black ships pouring down like a swarm of bees escaping from the nest, and the scenery of them being destroyed by cannon fire, also shook their eyes in a dizzying way.

At first glance, it seemed that Runcandel was finally on the defensive...… but it was far from over.

As if to ridicule the external assessment that Runcandel was lagging behind in technological development, Ram was constantly spitting out chaos dragons and black ships.

Besides, Ram was reloading its main cannon.

The black cannon that had driven the 2nd fleet of Zipfel to annihilation in a single blow was now aimed at Kinzelo.

"However... we must prepare for escape."

To inflict maximum damage and rescue the knights when the clan does not know his strength exactly.

That was the reason Jin visited the Garden of Swords alone today, and he expected that he had achieved the former to some extent.

'The knights killed today will be resurrected sooner or later, and summoned knights like Lionel or Sir Padler will appear again... but there must be limitations. There will definitely be a significant cost.'

Rikalton. The land that was expected to be the area where humans are sourced to make clones of Joshua's body.

Just cloning him required at least hundreds or thousands of humans.

It is unmeasurable how many human lives would be needed to revive people like Padler and Lionel.

'Escape of the rebels depends on the elder chief's skills and luck.'

Jin wanted to pursue and protect them even now, but that would rather endanger them.

There was no new energy emerging from the mausoleum.

Intuitively, Jin sensed that Rosa would come looking for him. 

The chaos that wrapped around the garden of swords was converging to one place again. The center of the black ships, probably where Rosa would be standing.

As of now, there was no chance of winning against her.

As expected, all the maximum power of Kinzelo and Zipfel has come, but even after dealing with the Captain of Black Knights, the summoned former patriarch, and the great knight, Runcandel was still holding out.

"Good idea. Even in my opinion, it would be better to plan for the future. We will need the help of our brethren if we have to defeat the master of this land."

"The same goes for escaping now. Please provide cover, Brother Kaio."

Kaio snorted at Jin's solemn voice.

"Hah, it looks like you are feeling sorry for using me as a meat shield. Don't feel sorry brother, death of summoned beings is not real anyway."

Kaio was already convinced. He knew that for Jin to leave this place, his sacrifice would be necessary.

Jin's gaze turned towards the mausoleum. 

Before he started his escape, he wanted to hit the mausoleum one last time, but some of the chaos gathering in Ram's center was forming a barrier near the mausoleum.

"They are openly wary of any trouble with the mausoleum...."

"I was going to suggest hitting that place before leaving, but I guess it's better to just go. Brother."

Needless to say, it seemed that the barrier of chaos could only be destroyed with unleashing a sword that's at least the level of flame of hell or Plutonian reign sword. Or the ultimate technique of shadow sword.

But after that, escaping from here will be impossible.

"I'm convinced that the mausoleum is a very important place and weakness, so it's not bad."

Jin turned around.

Talaris was located in a forest about 150 km away from the Garden of Swords. After breaking through there, Jin had to ride Mort and move to the area where the Red Owl was hidden.

"Shuri."

[Mya!]

The two got on Shuri, who had just been summoned from the ruby.

Far away, Jin saw the chaos knights who had begun to gather again like cockroaches.

However, no matter how many there were, they weren't much of a threat. They would just waste a bit of stamina.

"Let's go to Madame Talaris."

Following the trajectory of Shuri running at full speed, the knights of chaos began to explode in heaps.

And not long after the escape began, Jin and Kaio realized one thing.

"I've been curious about it since before. Aren't those also your enemies?"

Kaio pointed to the rear with his chin. 

Kinzelo's fleet had been providing support fire on the ground ever since the two of them battled against Padler. Even now, their support continued to the extent that Kaio didn't even need to cover Jin.

The chaos dragons descending to catch Jin didn't even reach Shuri and oxidized in the air, and all the cannon fire of the black ships were being intercepted.

"They are enemies. They just recognize that they'll need me later. They must have judged that neither Zipfel nor Kinzelo was able to defeat the Garden of Swords alone."

It would be the same for Jin if he can't call his Plutonian brethren back to the human world.

No, he thought that even if he called his brethren, he might need a temporary alliance with his enemies.

Current Runcandel is not just a huge force..… 

Just like Glyek, Runcandel had become a huge disaster that hit the entire world.

"Well, they're not completely stupid."

They killed the knights of chaos that stood in the way and broke through the main gate. Ahead, the endless black landscape of chaos continued.

Eventually, even when they arrived near the center of Kalon, the scenery did not change. Only then did Jin know that not only the Garden of Swords, but the entire Kalon was encroached by chaos.

It wasn't entirely unexpected. Surely, materials were needed to harness such chaos.

However, he couldn't help but feel his head go blank when he saw it with his own eyes.

-To me, the survival and prosperity of Runcandel are of greater value than anything else. Nothing can surpass that value.

-Even if billions of humans die in the process of achieving it, in the end, even if the world perishes in that devastating struggle and fight, only a few members of Runcandel remain in it. It doesn't matter to me.

Jin suddenly remembered what Rosa had said in the past.

'Really... are you going to destroy the entire world, leaving only Runcandel behind….'

Like a beast baring its fangs, Ram's center was splitting in half.

The main cannon fired straight ahead and hit Kinzelo's fleet. Zephyrin's huge body was pierced in the middle, and the overlapping protective shields behind it were bursting.

It was the first time Jin felt relieved to see the enemy not dead. Even though Zephyrin's torso was pierced, she fired her breath as if she hadn't been hit, and her power didn't diminish at all.

For the first time in the counterattack of Kinzelo, including Zephyrin, the damage was spreading to Ram's hull as well. The left side of the hull was collapsing.

Clearly, Ram looked weaker than before. That fact means only one thing.

Rosa's power, which was being used by Ram, was being withdrawn. The total amount of chaos was by no means diminished.

Amidst the intense war continuing with no regard for the passage of time.

Before Jin knew it, Shuri covered 50km outside the Garden of Swords. And Jin faintly felt the cold air passing through him.

Talaris was also approaching Jin. 

In the past, whenever Talaris came to rescue him, Jin used to feel an indescribable sense of relief.

But now it was the exact opposite.

'No!'

The fact that coldness was already transmitting this far meant that Talaris had already entered the battle, and she was not currently in a state where she could unleash her full power.

And the land stained with chaos was Rosa's domain. An ominous intuition stabbed Jin's head that Rosa could not be unaware of Talaris' movements.

'Rosa Runcandel will definitely try to deal with Madame Talaris before me...!'

It was not known for certain how strong Rosa had become after accepting the chaos. However, even before the Garden of Swords became like this, Rosa was one of the strongest in the world.

The current Talaris couldn't handle her.

[Myaaaaaah!]

After reading Jin's anxiety, Shuri tried to speed up, but she was already at her limit.

"Damn it, Madame Talaris...!"

If something goes wrong, Jin would not be able to face Syris or his other companions. He would have no way to repay the favors he had received from the hidden palace.

This thought was driving him crazy.

"Calm down, brother Jin."

Kaio looked up at the sky and said.

He had been observing the fleet of each faction that had been supporting only Jin and himself, confirming that they were now aiming at a distant point.

Kinzelo and Zipfel also found Talaris and started providing support fire.

"The owner of the cold energy must be a precious person to you, brother. Should I provide cover?"

"Is that possible, from this distance?"

Kaio lifted his longbow.

"It seems you've forgotten my specialty. I am the only Battle King who can fight while supporting my brethren. When it comes to ultra-long-range support, maybe I'm better than sister battle god. I need to concentrate, so clear out the nuisances."

"I got it...!"

Aww-!

Arrows of god killer bow were soaring into the sky. The shining lightning energy flew over a distance of 25km and created huge pillars of light.

With each shot, cold sweat flowed down Kaio's body like rain. Blood flowed from between his clenched lips, and his heart pounded as if it was going to burst at any moment.

Jin didn't ask Kaio about how the situation was unfolding.

It was clear that the cold energy was not extinguished. It was just precarious. It seemed dim enough to go out at any moment.

Finally, when they reached the pillars of light formed by arrows.

Jin was able to see Talaris, gasping for breath with blood all over her.

As soon as he saw her, his heart skipped a beat.

The blood did not belong to Talaris. It was the blood of snow toad Mort. Mort had been continuously teleporting within Rosa's chaos energy while protecting Talaris.

Even that would have been impossible without the supporting fire from Kaio and the fleet. Mort's pure white body was soaked in blood.

"Jin!"

"Madame Talaris!"

Jin wanted to rush over immediately, but he saw a single black blade tearing through the god killer bow's pillars of light in front of Talaris.

It was the sword of Rosa Runcandel, frenzy soaked in chaos.

[Have you come?]

Rosa greeted Jin with a smirk and Jin was drawing Bradamante.
