Episode 298

Episode 91. Power and reverence for power (9)

Induce a natural death during the battle with Ziple.

This situation was clearly different from Rosa’s order. It wasn’t even the best development Jin thought.

However, considering the variable called Beradin, it was close to the best.

“Yes…”

Fisik Barton burst into laughter.

The Guardian Knights deployed camps and surrounded Barton. Sreung-! As the blade slipped out of the scabbard, there was a sharp grinding sound, and life spread in Difus’ eyes.

“I never expected anything like that after making enemies in Runkandel. You talk about boring things, 12th Horseman.”

Rigaf Cleaver.

Suddenly, Barton Vichena’s real name came to mind.

A dark knight of misfortune who was recruited as a black knight, deprived of the right to decide his life, and forced to watch in silence as his blood and relatives who knew about it were killed.

That was the person Jin thought was Barton Bichena.

Therefore, I thought it was natural for Barton to laugh at the rhyme of ‘yes’.

But there was one odd corner.

‘For some reason… I don’t feel anything like resentment or anger from Barton.’

Runcandel was not enough to steal Barton’s life and kill his relatives, so Cleaver would have used the whole thing as hostages.

Is it because the resentment and anger toward Runkandel is so deep, dark, and huge? So it’s not easy to see?

Barton’s eyes, shining beyond the helmet, looked calm.

“It was quite a struggle to endure your disgusting acting from earlier, Barton Vichena. You mean you became Ziffle’s spy because you had no place to stick to the subject wearing the black helmet!”

Whoo-!

Difus’ greatsword hit Barton’s back of the head.

At the same time, Jin also pulled out Sigmund and aimed at the scruff of his neck.

The Guardian Knights were not moved. Their role was to keep checking so that Barton’s movements were limited rather than attacking.

Cagan!

Barton, a fast-footed sword that was invisible to the naked eye, easily cut the swords of the two people and stepped on his footsteps.

Although injured, it did not overshadow the 10-star achievement he achieved.

Barton rotated his body to close the distance with Dipus.

Jin immediately extended the blade to Barton’s back, but it only pierced the cloak.

“Is it wrong? Dipus Runcandel.”

Even though he was in the middle of the battle, Barton’s attitude of asking if he was wrong made Difus feel like he was about to explode.

“Are you asking if this traitor bastard is at fault? It’s good that you talk like that.”

“Diphus. That’s why you’re not good for Joshua. His fighting spirit is the best among his brothers, but he has no depth in his thoughts.”

Barton and Deepus engaged in a brief battle of strength, sword to sword.

It was Barton who withdrew first, but not because he lacked strength.

It was to avoid the thunderbolt of the Myungwang sword Pyeongsik, which Jin had just begun to drop.

Barton nodded as he looked at the spot where the thunderbolt had fallen.

“Ah, now I can’t say that my fighting spirit is the best. Lord Shiron used to praise the fighting spirit of the 12th Horseman since he was a cadet. Now, ask me again, Difus. Was my betrayal wrong?”

Both Jin and Deepus didn’t answer with expressionless faces.

However, Jin was actually calm and Difus was struggling to keep his cool.

“Why can’t you answer, Dipus Runcandel? You really think it’s my fault for being Ziffle’s spy!”

There was a hint of disappointment in Barton’s voice as he shouted.

It was a strange shape. As a traitor, he was rather accelerating the standard of Runcandel.

At that point, Jin was able to read Barton’s feelings toward Runcandel.

love and hate

It was a very easy feeling.

“It seems like you’re going to die, so it seems like you’re just talking nonsense, but I can’t listen to you anymore.”

“Then, the 12th rider, Gene Runcandel. You answer me.”

Barton turned around and started extending his sword to Jin. Even though it was more burdensome to turn against Diphus, there was no hesitation in switching positions.

It seemed that he had already prepared for death.

I used too many auras to stage a dogfight with Kojek, and the wounds I received from the space explosion were by no means shallow.

If there were only Difus and the Guardian Knights, there would have been some hope, but as long as Jin was there, Barton could not expect to survive.

How little damage did he take and cut Barton’s head?

That was the only thing Runkandel had to worry about.

“Sir Barton. Why are you fooling around?”

Barton hesitated and met Jin’s eyes. In a momentary gap, he allowed Difus’ attack once, but avoided a fatal wound.

“Do you want me to apologize? About Runkandel ruining your life.”

“what?”

Then Barton got angry and raised his spirits.

“When did Runkandel ruin my life?”

“Before I came here, I looked at the documents about the sutra. According to the document, you became the Dark Knight unwillingly, and you lost blood and relatives.”

Barton’s eyes trembled as if he had heard the most absurd story.

Even Difus had a similar atmosphere. Because of this, Jin couldn’t help but feel as if he had made a mistake.

“…Puheheh.”

Soon, Barton let out a devastated laugh.

Deepus straightened up and put a new aura on his greatsword.

“It looks like your mother didn’t hand you all the documents about Barton. The youngest author has never lost his life to Runcandel. Rather, he was a man who was mad to become the Dark Knight of Runkandel.”

Jin’s eyes widened.

“…Couldn’t it be that Runcandel killed the members of the Cleaver family who knew Lord Barton’s identity. Did you mean Sir Barton?”

“okay. The document you saw was created to ensure that the riders of the 5th Horseman and below do not despise Barton even if he goes on a mission in the future. That person abandoned his family and killed his blood relatives because he wanted to become a black knight.”

It was like being hit in the back of the head with a hammer.

-I don’t understand. I think it would be disappointing if this were true.

-Are you saying you’re disappointed with your family?

-No, not to my family, but to my father. The family name can do that enough. The house is a place where you can do even more than this.

-Your father is obviously a heartless man. But he’s not mean, at least that’s how I feel. Also, he’s not weak enough to manipulate people with threats. But why? I don’t understand why you had to get Barton Bichena this way.

A conversation I had with Gilly right before coming to Ventica.

On the one hand, I felt fortunate. The fact that Shiron didn’t make Barton the Dark Knight in such a naive way.

Then the feeling of disgust soared.

“For what reason?”

Pzie-!

Sigmund’s brain energy was fluctuating. While Barton was dealing with Dipus, Jin was ready to unleash the Myungwangsword season by raising the power of his mad heart.

“Why did you go that far and become a black knight?”

It was no longer worth using honorifics.

No matter how devoted he was to Runkandel before his betrayal, he was now just a strong, contemptible human being.

In the next moment, only one word came out of Barton’s mouth.

Power

“The strongest power to rule the world. It is only that I worship. A family of blood and relatives! Things like that don’t mean anything. The only meaning of my existence was to obtain the strongest power from the best family.”

It’s been a long time since I was so dumbfounded that I couldn’t speak.

“That’s why Lord Shiron’s Runcandel was like the perfect paradise for me…”

“It looks like he has a serious mental illness.”

“Do you think I could have reached 10 stars if I didn’t even have that kind of tenacity? no it’s impossible I made a long-ago choice between humanity and power.”

Even though I couldn’t understand a single word in my heart.

I could understand it rationally.

I’ve met people who talk and act this way in the past.

He looked superimposed on Kidard Barton of the regurgitation.

The two were very similar in that they did not choose any means or ends to become stronger.

Both were vicious, but if we were purely comparing tenacity, Barton was worse.

“It’s a trivial life full of betrayal.”

“So you, like Dipus, will say that I am wrong? Sir Shiron would never have reacted like that.”

“You are right, Barton. My father would have said this.”

Yes, that’s your value. Then prove that value is right.

“Is this what you wanted to hear?”

Barton nodded in satisfaction. Although he betrayed Runcandel, he still had infinite respect for the superhuman Shiron Runcandel.

“Then prove it. that you are right He seems to want his father’s way, but I like that too. If you convince me, I will spare you.”

Difus didn’t dare to vomit despite Jin’s remarks that were close to overstepping his authority.

It was because there was nothing Barton could do anyway.

“Right now it is impossible. I will die at your hands today.”

“Then your choice is wrong.”

“When I was in Lord Shiron’s Runcandel, I thought death was a failure and the end of everything. But after meeting Lord Kelliac, I realized. Death is not the end, Jean Runkandel. All I need is time.”

“Are you going to spread sophistry? Can’t the 10-star military force and your new owner, which you gained from abandoning and betraying so much, save you right away?”

“Even if you guys kill me today, there is a truth that will never change. The first is that if Sir Shiron disappears, Runcandel will surely perish. The second is that even if my body is destroyed, I can exist longer than you guys.”

Sigmund’s brain energy was getting stronger.

“At that time, you will have no choice but to admit that Barton Bichena’s choice was not wrong after all.”

I felt an unpleasantly firm trust in Barton.

Barton seemed to be talking nonsense, but he was convinced that Zipple would surely destroy Runcandel.

It was an unpleasantly firm belief. Has his mind gone mad because of his obsession and worship of power? Or was it that he was suddenly frustrated by the unexpected killing?

Either way, Jin’s teeth trembled at the fact that he felt some pity for Barton just a few minutes ago.

“I wish the youngest would have done this. I don’t think you need to keep listening to the crazy bullshit. Let’s do what we were doing.”

Dipus said, wrapping the aura he had saved while sending Kozek around his greatsword. Just as Jin raised his brain power to the mad king to unleash the Myungwangsword season, Dippus was also ready to unleash a decisive battle.
