Swordmaster’s Youngest Son - Chapter 735
Chapter 735,
Chapter 184. Beyond Fate (7)
Hooded-!
Pieces of chains were falling to the floor.
Alpen’s face was revealed, and his eyes widened wide as if he was bewildered.
He was much younger than Jin expected.
Jin intuitively recognized that the energy of Rosa, who was controlling Alpen, had been released.
“Nice to meet you, sir. I am Jin Runcandel, the twelfth horseman of Runkandel, Shiron, the 59th head of Runkandel.”
Jin got down on one knee and bowed formally.
For a moment, Alpen looked back and forth at Jin’s back and looked at him, then nodded in satisfaction.
[Even in this generation, there are those who shine. First of all, since the situation is urgent, let’s slaughter the weightlifters first!]
“I will.”
Alpen’s longsword, which had been stained with spirits until just now, was blazing white.
Befitting the title of Knight of Light, his aura was clearly stronger and brighter than that of ordinary warriors.
[Weightlifters, you guys don’t deserve to wear the black knight’s helmet…]
Alpen rushed to the center of the battlefield and thrust out his longsword.
The black knight captain’s footwork, which was at war with Bianca, was disturbed by the sword, and Jin dropped the sword with his head in the gap.
The helmet exploded, revealing the face of the monster, blackened by chaos.
Even the black knights here in Sengado.
At one time, they were dedicated to their family and enjoyed the honor of being enshrined in the mausoleum, but now they had the appearance of such a rotten monster.
The faces of Alpen and the Dark Knight Captain contrasted.
As the Black Knight captain was about to leap out of danger, the swords of Jin and Bianca once again tied his movements.
Then, Alpen’s thrust pierced the face of the Dark Knight Captain.
Turong-!
With the sound of a gun blast, the head of the captain of the Dark Knight vanished.
[Now, put down the unnecessary burden.]
After the death of the captain of the Dark Knights, the rest of the Dark Knights lost their focus.
They couldn’t get the upper hand even before Jin joined in the first place, and since allies and Alpen joined, there was no way to use their hands anymore.
Even escape was impossible. In this desolate space, there was no way they could escape.
Although they were stained with chaos, they were still black knights, so they showed themselves to endure well for a while.
But that was all. It is infinitely insufficient to deal with the unmanned people who will occupy the top ranks throughout human history.
Big!
The battle that lasted for a while ended after Hedo crushed the body of the last remaining black knight.
“Now I want you to explain what happened, Horseman 12. Why did the Knight of Chaos suddenly become an ally?”
“Why do you think I’ve had internal pain with my body?”
“It’s not like that, but it’s a good situation to misunderstand.”
“I… misunderstood… I didn’t… ally… it would be nice if it increased. The bust… it’s too… strong.”
“As you can see, my ancestors have just been released from the control of the evil spirits, Octavia Ziple. As Bianca said, it’s good to have more allies like this. There will be another person like your ancestors. isn’t it? Ancestor.”
[Since he died in the war at a young age, it feels strange to be called an ancestor. Just call me Lord Alpen. 12th Horseman.]
“I see.”
“Alpen Runcandel? The battle to defend the castle?”
said Octavia as if surprised.
[Yes. Perhaps you, called Octavia… must be a descendant of Hanel Ziffle, who fought with me to defend the kingdom. Hanel: Although he was the head of a sleazy Ziffle family, he was quite a dignified person. That’s why I didn’t doubt like you do now even when he saved the demons who surrendered.] “
Lord Alpen, I didn’t doubt it, just…”
has figured out Only you, the 12th Horseman, can defeat him and stop this debacle. I, Alpen Runcandel, will follow you from now on and concentrate on recovering my family.]
Alpen interrupted Octavia.
Jin felt the heat in his chest once more.
Clearly, there was hope left in the Runkandel family. Jin was not alone in holding on to hope with difficulty.
“Thank you Sir Alpen.”
Now I had to call my allies above and inform them of the situation and start moving again.
However, Alpen brought up a story that the alliance was completely unexpected. [This vicious castle has
a structure that cannot be climbed back up
once it is descended.
[okay. Each floor of the castle is formed as a thoroughly separated subspace. To be precise, it should be called the inner world of the body, not the subspace.]
The inner world.
Not too long ago, Jin had a decisive battle with Rosa in his inner world.
And on the contrary, now the castle of the bust was Rosa’s inner world embodied in reality.
That was the reason why the lower powers were suddenly exposed to mental attacks from upstairs. The weaker it was, the more difficult it was to advance through this world.
[Therefore, it is impossible to send a signal to the remaining allies upstairs.]
In an ordinary sub-space, Jin would have to cut it with a spirit sword to solve it, but it did not apply to the inner world of the evil god.
“Then we have no choice but to wait until our allies come here.”
[It is also highly likely that it will not go as intended. The wizard of the Ziple family and… that slow-talking demon must be the princess of the Caligo family. Anyway, it was because of luck that the wizard, the princess, and the knight joined. Because the structure of the inner world is constantly changing.] Most of all,
the inner world was like a maze unlike what it looked like.
Even if you go back the same way you came, you will not find the same space.
As Alpen said, the reason Hedo and Octavia Bianca were able to join was because the structure of the inner world had not changed until just now.
“…If Sir Alpen’s story is true, it would be a disaster.”
Hedo said.
“If there is no contact from our allies after ten minutes, we will move to the next floor.”
Jin came to that conclusion.
There was no reason to wait long. If no additional allies join in, the roads have already crossed paths.
While waiting, Alpen gave the party information about the power of the evil god.
[As far as I know, thirteen family heads have been resurrected in the mausoleum.] That
number included Alpen and Lionel. The party had a strange feeling that the number of revived family heads was the same as that of the 2nd generation of pure blood.
[The heads of households placed on each floor are a kind of gatekeepers. However, I don’t know how many of them, like me, did not succumb to the will of the evil god. I don’t know exactly about the forces other than the family heads, but the former black knights who just died are only a small fraction.]
If so, the approximate battle will be the heroes of each camp in the temporary alliance, the resurrected family heads, and the power below the fleet and the knights of chaos. I was going to go in the form of confrontation.
[The elements that hinder the creation of mental attacks and aura magic will also get worse as you go down. It wouldn’t be a big problem for the people here, but it’s bound to be lethal for those who are lower in rank.] “I
brought the entire fleet because I assumed a dogfight with the ship Ram… It might have been the wrong choice.”
In the first place, the decisive battle should have been minimized, but the moment Jin fell into such a question, Alpen shook his head.
[During the Battle of the Seongguk, I was in the same trouble as you. Unlike those who represented the era, the elite below them literally died like flies. But without them, we would have lost in the end. He will definitely use everything he has, and before that, he will want to reduce the strength of the temporary allies here as much as possible.]
Ten minutes passed.
None of the allies descended further underground. In the meantime, the party checked several times to see if it was really impossible to go back upstairs, but to no avail.
In the end, the final destination that Jin and the temporary alliance had to reach was the abyss of the inner world where the evil spirits were.
I have no choice but to keep going, hoping to join my allies there safely.
Movement started again.
After a while, the party came face-to-face with the same absurdly deep and huge cliff as the one seen from the upper level.
“Let’s go down.”
Jean Alpenhedo Bianca Octavia. All five of them began their descent down the cliff at the same time.
* * *
Meanwhile, all the remaining allied forces on the upper floor were descending the cliff where they had gone down camp with all the fleet aboard.
However, what they faced when they reached the ground was not Jin’s party, but the three former family heads who were resurrected from the mausoleum and countless troops of chaos.
At the center stood the lion king Lionel.
[Hit it.]
When Lionel let out a dry voice, the army of chaos rushed in like a tidal wave.
In the sky, there were chaotic dragons and black ships, and on the ground were unknown monsters and knights similar to giant beasts.
‘There is no trace of the battle between Jin and those who went before. I don’t know why, but it looks like it’s split with the losing side… Maybe the structure inside the castle isn’t regular.’
Veradin was not taken aback and made a quick decision.
“At the start of the battle, the fire dragon, Kadun, Dante and Veil take charge of the enemy generals. Orgal and Zephyrin should focus on protecting the fleet.”
Beradin immediately issued an order and started responding.
The problem was that the power of the main guns of the fleet, including Kojek, was significantly lowered.
It was because the aura of the evil god was blocking the creation of aura and magical power.
In addition, as the inner world deepened, the mental attack became stronger. The mid-to-lower ranks in the fleet were screaming and collapsing.
A ship is not operated alone.
As the number of unconscious wizards increased, the operation of the fleet had no choice but to become dull.
“Command Ronil. I will go down too.”
“Yes Sogaju.”
“Return all dragons to the ship except for Kadun and Tuyan Pinia and inform them that the demon stone is open.”
Kojek was spreading an ominous resonance from the power section.
As the demon stone began to open, the descending Veradin’s body was rapidly aging.
Soon, he became a gray-haired old man like Keliac Ziple, and stretched out his staff, ‘Hroti’.
[You’re not the only one who can use absurd power like monsters.]
From Hroti, the annihilation flame jade transformed by Keliac was spreading.
