Swordmaster's Youngest Son

Chapter 620

C620

"Are you really going to keep doing this?"

"Why did Brother Jin get so angry?"

"Did it bother you so much that we said a new test is necessary when you've already become the Successor of the Sister Goddess of Battle? Enough to stab your brothers! Brother Jin might understand this if he really thinks about the situation of other brothers."

"Moreover, not all brothers claimed that he should be tested again. Even the Tenth Battle King Brother just wanted a fair Great Battle Kings Tournament. It's not about taking away what Brother Jin has."

"Say something!"

As Baba said, although the members of the Tribe of Legends were so angry, they still didn't have the courage to kill or banish Jin.

In Kaio's hospital room, they talked about it as if they were about to get rid of Jin, but what they most desired was a conversation with him.

The tribe's law that brothers don't calculate favors between them still applied to Jin.

The Legends were willing to make amends if Jin sincerely apologized, but he just coldly dismissed all the brothers who visited him.

As time passed, the Legends' disappointment grew.

Seeing Jin becoming increasingly cold, selfish, and ruthless, they began to wonder if the person they knew actually existed.

"Everything he has shown us so far has been false. How can a person change so much in an instant? We were willing to give everything."

"Would we have ignored it if he had honestly told us not to test his ability anymore since he has already inherited Sigmund? Not only the Brother Tenth Battle King, but all the brothers would have accepted it."

"He seems convinced that we're causing a commotion just to take away what's his. Was it so unbearable to give equal opportunities to other brothers? If it's not me, he can't even go out, and now he dares to verify my qualifications? He has that kind of attitude."

"He can never become a true Legend. In the end, he was just a human being, always greedy!"

Sadness turned into anger, and anger soon turned into a feeling close to hatred.

The depth of the gap that separated them was a problem that no one would have imagined would occur at one point.

77 individuals, adding Jin makes 78, and including Lingling makes 79.

The city, once filled with golden glory, always emitted a lively and bright atmosphere, even with these few numbers, when Jin arrived.

However, now there was a tense and uneasy atmosphere.

"Sigh."

Jin spent time in empty houses on the outskirts of Lafrarosa, far from the Goddess of Battle's room.

Even during the Grand Tournament, if it wasn't his match, he didn't visit the main hall.

"I've felt it since the last time, but it's something I really can't do."

Jin didn't feel comfortable.

When he provoked Kaio, when he maliciously stabbed him, and even now when he continued to provoke all his brothers.

Of course, his heart was bitter and sore, like filled with acid.

But as the situation grew more serious, he became more certain that he had to go through this process at least once.

"I must not leave the feeling that my Inheritance of Sigmund was a reward obtained too easily."

Hierarchy.

Except for the Goddess of Battle, all tribe members were equal. However, looking back, Jin had always held an exceptional position.

Although he wasn't a brother, he mastered the Sword of Legends, and after becoming a brother, he succeeded Sigmund immediately.

That's why, even when lining up, Jin's position is next to Vahn's, and in the opening combat, he fought alongside all the Legends.

All this happened in the few years they spent together.

They never fought a life-or-death battle behind others' backs, never defended a territory, never conquered, never massacred enemies, never joined a war where fate was at stake.

Jin always came here to receive.

However, as Tantel said, the Legends were also living beings, so they had very ordinary emotions.

Even after the tribe accepted Jin as their brother, even after Jin was ranked alongside Vahn, they always considered Jin someone they had to "take care of."

They were trapped in a dead world, and their time with Jin was very short, so they couldn't treat him with total equality.

In other words, the Legends only saw Jin as a younger brother.

Jin, as a second-rank brother, believed that he shouldn't be a subject to be taken care of but rather a target of struggle.

Beyond equal treatment, beyond equality, he believed he should be a subject to transcend.

If he had shown transcendent power like Vahn, if there had been a time when he could do so, there would have been no need for conflicts like now.

The same applied even when the tribe was still confined in Lafrarosa.

There would have been no problem as long as he had been treated like a beloved younger brother without conflicts.

But to fight with his brothers from outside and to come to control them as a leader, a real fight was necessary. Not a play that resembled reality.

After this fight, it was crucial to confirm what would remain.

It's not that Jin wasn't worried at all. There was no guarantee that the results obtained after the fight would be favorable.

'I have to clear my mind. Until the Great Battle Kings Tournament ends, I just have to focus on training.'

Meditation and retrospection.

After waking up, Jin continued to grow at all times, except in battles.

The wounds he obtained in the battle with Kaio stimulated the feeling of the God of Battle Fusion, and Jin's training progressed to a higher level than before.

The optimal paths for stabbing and slashing, the unwavering composure maintained in any situation, the feeling of avoiding death, and landscapes that seemed to be seen only by those who had transcended, and more...

In other words, the martial arts world that only transcendent beings could comprehend.

In his mind, the image of that world was constantly drawn without rest.

Jin absorbed everything with astonishing speed, of course, thanks to the sensation of Vahn he experienced through fusion.

But that was not all.

'The senses of the Sister Goddess of Battle are those of a person who has been strong since birth. Just like my father.'

Jin's own mastery added to that sensation.

Jin Runcandel's unique mastery, which he obtained through the abyss of the bottom and long despair, as well as through death, further enriched the transcendent world.

As a result.

In the 31st combat, which took place three days later, Jin directly defeated Nata, the Eleventh Battle King.

Nata was very resentful, and a fierce battle ensued, but in the end, Jin emerged as the victor.

Didn't he use all his strength when he fought the Tenth Battle King?

'No, he's getting stronger. In such a short time.'

'Huh, Jin must have known exactly how fast he was growing. That's why he crossed the line and became so arrogant. He doesn't think everything is due to the privileges obtained through the God of Battle Fusion.'

In the 38th combat, he lost to Beliz. However, Beliz's right arm was cut off and he was in danger of death, and as Jin had warned him beforehand, he didn't stop there.

"This...!"

Even once victory or defeat was decided, he stabbed him in the neck again, just as he did with Kaio.

The tribe members were paying more attention to Jin than before, so fortunately, the sword didn't cut Beliz's neck or any unfortunate incident occurred where Beliz counterattacked and killed Jin.

The Legends shot lightning bolts and separated the two.

Jin's limbs twisted in the process, but Beliz came out unscathed.

Now, not even the Legends had reservations about aggressively repressing Jin.

The anger towards Jin intensified even more.

"Crazy bastard... You really want to kill your brothers again."

"The Sister Seventh Battle King defended you until this morning. Now, the Sister Seventh Battle King must have changed her mind."

Again, after Jin's recovery, he defeated Garmund in the 46th combat, and in the 50th and 54th, he was defeated by Baltirok and Lumora, respectively.

Every time he was defeated, he rushed like a demon to the end, only to be subdued.

But now, no one was surprised by that spectacle.

Jin's body deteriorated slowly.

Even with Runcandel's blessed body, he couldn't keep resisting battles against the other Battle Kings, which he repeated after recovering.

The other Legends also accumulated wounds, but they fought a completely different battle from Jin's.

The battles of the other Legends were not filled with the bloodlust and hatred that Jin's battles were.

Those dark energies were consuming Jin like a parasite.

"I... can't... fight."

In the 60th combat, Rinpa, facing Jin, said that as soon as the battle began.

She didn't dare to fight against a defeated Jin. The other Legends respected her decision.

Rinpa was the one who prevented her brothers from challenging the Gods until the end, and it was she who stopped talking with a feeling of guilt for her failure.

'Anyway, the next battle is with the Sister Ninth Battle King.'

'No matter how fast he gets stronger, he can never win against the Sister Ninth Battle King. He has already been defeated by the other Battle Kings....'

In the end, Sister Baba will put an end to him.

'Sister Baba, who has endured Jin's rampage until now, is now trembling.'

Baba, like Beliz, was also a person who didn't give up on Jin until the end.

Even now, she was willing to forgive Jin if he reached out to her.

She hoped that Jin wouldn't delve further into darkness and reach a point of no return.

"Won't you fight me?"

In response to Jin's icy voice, Rinpa nodded and turned away.

"Yes..."

"I warn you, Rinpa. If you take one more step, I'll cut you right where you stand. Don't avoid the fight."

Rinpa continued to advance, undeterred, and Jin...wielded the Shadow Blade towards her back.

The cut was shallow because Rinpa reacted, but a long scar remained.

Red blood welled up.

The bloodstain, as if the red lines had been sliced, seemed to symbolize the end of the relationship between the Tribe of Legends and Jin.

"Sister Fourth Battle King!"

"That crazy bastard...!"

Vahn raised his hand to stop the Legends, who were about to rush forward.

"He hasn't broken the rules yet. If Brother Jin kills Sister Fourth Battle King, I will personally take care of it. Will you continue, Sister Fourth Battle King?"

"...I resign."

Tension hung in the air.

Jin glanced at Rinpa.

As Vahn declared the end of the battle, she turned away indifferently.

And just as Jin was about to leave the hall, Baba suddenly stepped forward to the center of the room and spoke.

"Sister Goddess of Battle."

"Speak, Sister Ninth Battle King."

"Sister Goddess of Battle, you referred to Jin as a brother a moment ago, but we can no longer consider him as such."

"What do you mean?"

Baba glanced at Jin's retreating figure and spoke.

"Therefore, may I kill Jin Runcandel in the next battle?"
