Swordmaster's Youngest Son Chapter 731

C731

Jin Runcandel descends.

All the allies on the battlefield stared at the glowing red letters. Even the Chaos Dragon and the Black s.h.i.+ps paused for a moment.

On this battlefield, the name “Jin Runcandel” carried great significance.

For both allies and enemies alike.

The Chaos Army consisted of the creatures of the evil G.o.d, and to them, Rosa was like a “mother.”

But the mother’s attention and affection were directed at only one person, Jin Runcandel.

The creatures of the evil G.o.d were aware that they couldn’t even compare to Jin.

This was because they could read Rosa’s innermost thoughts.

The creatures of the evil G.o.d harbored twisted feelings of inferiority toward Jin.

As Rosa became more complete, the creatures could read her inner thoughts more clearly, and now was the time when their tremendous animosity toward Jin erupted.

[Jin...... Run...... can... del!]

A Chaos Dragon descended upon Jin with a sinister and chilling voice.

The horde following it also attacked Jin as they descended.

“You can even speak the human language.”

Jin spoke in a dry tone.

In an instant, he disappeared from among the Chaos Dragons, hidden by them.

Swish-!

Bradamante traced a semicircle.

The Chaos Dragons that had attacked Jin disintegrated or shattered in the air before the afterimage of the semicircle vanished.

In an instant, over twenty Chaos Dragons were dead.

Jin was unaffected by the barrier’s influence.

It wasn’t because Jin was a being born of Rosa, like the creatures of chaos.

The cloak of Shadow Energy that surrounded Jin like a mantle countered the barrier’s force.

“Incompatible.”

Without halting his descent, Jin spread elemental frost mana into the air, creating a path.

Beneath Jin’s descending feet, twinkling ice crystals scattered like a galaxy.

Shadow Blade, First Technique: Soul Slash.

A human wielded his sword against the enormous barrier.

No matter how sharp his sword was, it could only create a small crack considering the scale of the barrier.

However, Jin’s descending sword showed no signs of stopping.

At the speed gravity dragged him, the barrier was splitting in half.

“Protect Jin!”

“Protect the Twelfth Flagbearer!”

Protection was unnecessary.

Despite being attacked by the breath of the Chaos Dragons and the cannons of the Black s.h.i.+ps in a swarm, they couldn’t penetrate the extensive cloak of Shadow Energy. ?âꞐôВĘṤ

Jin appeared completely focused on breaking through the barriers, paying no attention to those attackers.

As Jin landed on the ground, those who witnessed him and the split barrier could only think of one thing.

Cutting it in half with a single sword strike.

A ma.s.sive sword had split the center of the barrier in a straight line, leaving even the giants stunned.

The barrier that had baffled countless fleets, dragons, the finest elites of each faction, and the heroes of humanity just moments ago was now split in half by a single sword.

Of course, the barrier hadn’t disappeared yet.

The relentless gravitational force had weakened slightly due to the division, but the crack was still too narrow for the fleets and dragons to pa.s.s through.

Thus, Jin’s comrades and allies still had work to do.

“Hedo-nim, Bale!”

Responding to Jin’s thunderous call that echoed across the battlefield, the two individuals immediately landed on the ground and took positions beside Jin.

“You two, please widen the crack. In the meantime, I’ll take care of the sky for a while.”

If it had been anyone else, they wouldn’t have understood Jin’s words.

Jin was telling them to open the crack as if it were a door in the barrier.

But Hedo and Bale immediately positioned themselves on either side of the crack and grabbed it with both hands.

It was a task that, without their immense strength, no one else would dare to attempt.

“Huh......!”

[Kuaaaaa!]

Crackle! Crack...

As Hedo and Bale pulled the crack with all their might, the gap in the barrier began to widen slowly.

Jin changed his sword.

When the Thunder Sword Sigmund was drawn from its sheath, a brilliant blue light shone at its heart.

At the same time, hundreds of lightning bolts rained down on the battlefield.

These bolts didn’t strike the Chaos Army but instead targeted the allied fleet and dragons, providing protection rather than annihilation.

This was because the sword technique was created for defense, not destruction.

Guardian Brothers, Fourth Battle King’s Sword Technique.

However, it was impossible for Jin to protect such a large army adequately. It was inevitable because he spread the lightning too thin.

If I can perfect G.o.d of Battle Fusion, it might be possible...

But for now, this should be enough.

The Guardian Brothers’ lightning s.h.i.+eld was just a device to help identify friends.

The real protection still lay with Orgal.

Gaaaa......!

Another G.o.d in the form of a blazing bird roared and revealed its mystical blue body.

Tess, the phoenix newly summoned by Jin, glared at the enemies with fiery eyes.

Though the Chaos Dragons rushed to tear apart its body, Tess didn’t allow their fangs to touch her.

The Chaos Dragons were consumed by the flames like moths drawn to a fire, stripped of life.

Only a few of the relatively stronger ones among them managed to rise close to Tess.

The weaker ones couldn’t even attempt to attack Tess. Before they could approach, their wing membranes melted, causing them to plummet to the ground.

The allies now had some breathing s.p.a.ce.

The propulsion previously used to escape the barrier was redirected to the cannons, and the giants resumed their offensive stance.

It had only been a few minutes since the seal of fire had appeared in the sky.

Meanwhile, Jin was completely turning the tide of the battle.

The power of a single individual was dispelling the anxiety that had taken root in the hearts of the allies.

The number of Chaos Dragons and Black s.h.i.+ps had significantly decreased.

The fleet was now advancing, using the barrier’s gravity to gradually progress.

“Kwaaaaa!”

[Ugh, geuk!]

The combined power of Hedo and Bale was becoming increasingly evident.

The linear crack that Jin had initially created had expanded into an elliptical shape.

The barrier was no longer flat.

It contorted grotesquely around the elliptical crack, pulsing with Shadow Energy at various points.

“Thank you for your hard work. Hedo-nim, please step aside.”

Jin spoke as he switched sword techniques once more.

By slas.h.i.+ng his sword diagonally twice toward the center of the crack, it exploded with Shadow Energy, shattering a section of the barrier like crystal.

Unbeknownst to them, the allies cheered.

Even if it was a “temporary” alliance.

At least today, everyone sincerely trusted Jin and believed in him.

[We’ve endured all the hards.h.i.+ps, and you’re the one who looks cool!]

“If you think it’s unfair, make a contract with Solderet, Bale. Now give me that sword back.”

[Lay a finger on my Shakan, I dare you.]

Only three factions remained, but Beradin had already consolidated his fleet at the center the moment Jin descended.

“Advance!”

The fleet began its march to the other side of the barrier.

No more Chaos Dragons or Black s.h.i.+ps appeared below the battles.h.i.+p Ram.

As the fortress of the evil G.o.d drew closer, its dreadful aura became more palpable.

Due to the low alt.i.tude, even the allies of the fleet couldn’t see the sky clearly beyond the fortress.

The war had just pa.s.sed its starting point.

The role of the Chaos Dragon and the Black s.h.i.+p in the evil G.o.d’s army wasn’t significant.

They were sufficient for the ma.s.s slaughter of individuals below the level of 7 stars, but they had clear limitations when facing an army with individuals like Jin or superhumans.

In the first place, if not for the enormous fortress of the evil G.o.d, the battle wouldn’t have taken place properly.

The real threats were the swordmasters tainted by chaos.

The ancient heroes of the mausoleum who commanded them, the countless variables within the fortress, and the evil G.o.d itself.

Ram’s presence was also a constant concern.

For now, it seemed that Lynn had successfully held off Ram, but it could re-activate at any moment.

Rosa can’t be unaware of Dame Lynn’s betrayal. We must infiltrate as many forces into the fortress as possible before Ram returns to normal. We can’t let Dame Lynn’s sacrifice be in vain.

At the moment Jin thought to that extent.

The battlefield began to tremble as if a gigantic monster were awakening from the depths of the earth, shaking the surface.

The gates of the evil G.o.d’s fortress began to open.

The immense gates harbored a darkness as deep as the abyss itself.

“Full fleet, load maximum firepower, fire immediately!”

Beradin immediately ordered the bombardment to prevent the allies from being overwhelmed by the visible darkness between the open gates.

Jin thought Beradin had made a very wise decision.

The darkness of the fortress gates had a terrifying power that could scare people just by itself.

There was no reason to wait for the enemy to appear.

Kwah-!

Hundreds of shots were fired into the deep darkness.

If it had been a human fortress, the entire structure would have been annihilated, leaving no trace.

However, the shots were no different from pebbles falling into a well.

The bombardment continued, but there wasn’t even a distant explosion heard from within the fortress. It simply vanished without a trace.

“Cease fire!”

There was no reason to waste mana on futile attacks.

Beradin immediately ordered the bombardment to stop, but it was undeniable that it had backfired.

And this was because the large-scale bombardment by the entire fleet was no different from pebbles falling into a well.

As in any war, the morale of the troops also played a crucial role in this battle.

Simply being on the battlefield was enough to oppress everyone’s hearts due to the power of the evil G.o.d, not to mention the other factors.

Beradin had no choice but to ponder his order, and a few seconds of silence pa.s.sed.

Then, Jin took a deep breath and let out a shout as he unleashed his energy, indiscriminately firing his sword toward the fortress walls.

Unlike the bombardment that simply disappeared into the open gates, the walls showed visible signs of being struck by the physical impact.

The stone cracked, and metallic sounds of breaking resonated in the air.

“There is no such thing as an impregnable fortress. Today, that fortress will disappear without a trace. So, allies, strike calmly at the walls and prepare for battle. The enemy will soon emerge from within.”

Jin said this while gripping his sword firmly.

He could feel the presence twisting inside the open gates, as if it were about to erupt at any moment.

“And they too shall perish today by our hands.”
