Supreme Sword, the sealing sword of Hairan"s vision.
The sword conceived about 500 years ago and developed by the patriarch of Hairan and the Sword Saints until today.
The existence of the Supreme Sword has never been known to the world.
When Ron mentioned the name, the eyes of the Sword Saints changed.
The aura that suddenly sprouted from their bodies carved strange patterns all over them as if they were runes.
Muddy whirlwinds spread through their eyes, and the pure white layers symbolizing the sword saints were dyed gray.
It didn"t seem like an aura, but a change caused by ancient dark magic or other forbidden spells.
"Supreme Sword... Is this Hairan"s sword?" Jin thought.
The Supreme Sword is a sword that symbolizes the "right path."
The swords wielded by the heirs of the Sword Emperor were meant to radiate a unique, pure, and strong aura, but now the changes in the Sword Saints were completely opposite to that.
Murky, dark, and ominous.
It seemed more like a form of curse than martial arts.
Anyone witnessing the energy of the Supreme Sword couldn"t help but sense it.
Those who wield this sword could never go back to being who they were before.
Moreover, strangely, the energy of the Supreme Sword emitted a strangely similar feeling to the sword Jin was familiar with. Runcandel"s sword.
"The reason the Twenty-Fourth Patriarch invented this sword wasn"t to fight against Zipple, but to prepare for a battle against Runcandel that might happen someday," said Ron.
The reason why the Supreme Sword wasn"t known to the world until now despite being crafted 500 years ago...
It was only to prepare for Runcandel"s invasion; it was a sealing technique following his sword skill.
The meaning of the Supreme Sword doesn"t include the righteousness of Hairan.
An extreme sword made to withstand supreme power for a brief moment if you abandon your body.
In a way, the Supreme Sword emitted a wilder and fiercer aroma than Runcandel"s sword, which had a safety device called the "blessed body."
Jin could hear the terrifying breath of the beasts that had forsaken their future to win the battle.
"It"s a sword destined for Runcandel, but I ended up bringing it out fighting against Zipple... It"s strange."
Clang!
The Sword Saints unsheathed their swords, lowering their stances.
The stone of the wall they stood on exploded, leaving deep imprints.
"I, the Leader of the Sword Saints, Ruyan. I will obey the patriarch"s order."
"I, the Sword Saint, Aquita Hairan. I will obey the patriarch"s orders."
"I, the Sword Saint, Errol Lyman. I will obey the patriarch"s order."
"I, the Sword Saint, Bell Artemiro. I will obey the patriarch"s order."
"I, the Sword Saint, Franz. I will obey the patriarch"s order."
The Sword Saints unsheathed their swords in unison.
At the same time, the energy of the sword sprouted from their swords towards the fleet.
In an instant, the sword, shining with a gloomy gray color, pierced through Kelliark"s fire curtain and advanced towards the inner fleet.
A horrible trail remained, as if some gigantic being had scratched it.
Ron"s formless sword aided the attacks of the Sword Saints and tore through the fire curtain in an instant.
There was a smell of ash from the falling and dispersing fire pieces.
A dark smoke enveloped the fire, completely darkening the view.
The five swords that glowed in the darkness continued attacking without hesitation.
No matter where they swung it, the entire area was filled with enemies, and any lost sword energy effortlessly joined Ron"s formless sword, finding its place seamlessly in the coal-black visibility.
Formless and gray, the two sword energies relentlessly struck the fleet.
Occasionally, Jin heard the screams of humans and dragons who didn"t know who they were.
Ron had already exceeded expectations by getting stronger, but the transformation of the Sword Saints added an unexpected twist.
"It"s becoming more aggressive."
But Kelliark was no longer caught off guard.
The reason he clenched his teeth when he first confirmed Ron"s martial arts wasn"t that he was anxious about losing this war.
There was not a hint of that anxiety.
The reason Kelliark felt invaded by a sense of inferiority for a while was the fact that he had been defeated by Ron in the compet.i.tion in the "human" category.
It was a revival of the deep sense of inferiority he had always felt towards Cyron since his youth.
I admit it, my friends.
"As a human, I have been defeated by you."
However, the Demon G.o.d Orb could elevate him beyond mere humanity.
Towards G.o.ds or even something transcendent...
A red light spread from Hroti.
Decimating Flame Orb Of The Dark Sky-Second Version Of The Demon Empress.
Jin watched as the flame orb engulfed the smoke and spun.
The orb, even larger than the one Jin had formed with the help of Solderet and Kallum during the first battle, emitted an awe-inspiring majesty, as if it had been cast directly from the pinnacle of magic.
Jin had only seen the Decimating Flame Orb Of The Dark Sky-Second Version Of The Demon Empress once in his past life.
"This is our Lord...."
Lata looked at the fire orb and said.
Most of the Vamel Alliance and Sword Emperor Castle mistakenly believed that Kelliark used the same magic as Jin.
It was thought that power increased by using the same magic with a stronger magician.
And everyone couldn"t help but get very nervous because they knew what the power of Riol"s legacy was.
"Kelliark Zipple, you weren"t sitting idle. Ruyan!"
"Yes, Patriarch-nim."
"I"ll take care of that. Meanwhile, Octavia will undoubtedly try to infiltrate during the opening...."
As Ron spoke, Jin recalled the conversation he had with Valeria in his past life.
-According to records, the Decimating Flame Orb Of The Dark Sky-Second Version Of The Demon Empress is superior to the final version.
-It seems the final version is superior in other aspects. Is it stability?
-Yes, stability. The final version is refined so that the second version can be used stably. But that"s not all.
-In what else does it differ?
-Weakness. The second version is the strongest, but its weaknesses are too apparent. There are errors that aren"t even in the first version. Normally, if you see this magic, you won"t survive, and there are few people big enough to dare to a.n.a.lyze Riol"s perfect magic, so it"s an unknown area... Well, look here.
At that moment, Valeria had explained while launching the second version directly near the Histor Succession Temple.
Behind her floated a horrifying fire orb just like now.
-"Paper that shows letters when wet. It"s the same. When the second version starts, release your mana and spread it in all directions. Try it yourself, because I can"t keep up with this and sing at the same time."
Following her instructions, as Jin dispersed his mana, he immediately understood the weak points of the second version.
He began to see the mana flow that const.i.tuted the second version.
The runes that were once invisible shone, and numerous lines appeared between the runes.
-Cutting those lines can release the second version. And you know the backlash when the magic is interrupted by someone other than the caster, right?
-Mana backlash...
-Yes, if you cut those lines now, there"s a high chance I"ll die. I wouldn"t be able to handle this amount of mana backlash.
Therefore, the natural enemy of the second version was a magical swordsman or a combination of a magician and knight who knew the weakness of the second version.
The magician had to make the runes and lines with mana visible, and the knight had to play the role of cutting them.
Unlike the second version, the final version was stable because the exposed runes didn"t become a weakness.
"Ron-nim. I"ll stop that with the Vamel Alliance and the Sword Saints."
Ron"s eyes widened.
Jin was determined to stop the magic that even he could overcome if he was ready to use an aura beyond Jin"s ability.
However, Ron didn"t ask Jin to confirm it.
He didn"t even tell him not to be so brave as to do something that even he couldn"t easily do.
He just trusted Jin.
To Ron, Jin was no longer a child or a knight inferior to him, but a knight who always accomplished what he said.
"How can I a.s.sist you?"
"If possible, please allow the knights to fly through the sky with your sword energy."
In the aerial battles of the 10-star Warriors, they used sword energy as a means of flight.
Ron went beyond that and had reached a level where he could lift others, not just himself.
"How long?"
"5 minutes, no, 3 minutes will be enough. If you could perfectly protect the allies in the air."
Ron smiled.
It was because there was no need to waste so much time.
"It"s child"s play. Shall we start right away?"
"Yes."
Suddenly, an intense formless wind enveloped the bodies of the Vamel Alliance and the Sword Saints.
Knights caught in the wind and rose into the dawn sky.
"Until Kelliark"s magic ends, all the Sword Saints will follow Jin Runcandel"s orders."
Jin had raised his mana.
A thick, white mist blossomed as Jin"s vast mana and nature"s mana intertwined.
And within it, the Decimating Flame Orb Of The Dark Sky-Second Version Of The Demon Empress began to descend.
Flame swirls fiercely attacked the knights rising into the sky.
Ron shouted a war cry and emitted the formless sword energy.
The clash between the sword energy and the flames created a deafening explosion...
And the knights heightened their senses as they confirmed that all the explosions were happening right in front of their noses.
The clash between the sword and the fire, a precarious confrontation, was taking place.
Jin didn"t quickly disperse his already open mana.
So that Kelliark wouldn"t be aware of the weakness of the Second Version.
"At this moment, I can spread it all at once."
About a minute pa.s.sed like that.
"Vamel Alliance, Sword Saints! Destroy the runes and cut the connected mana lines!"
When Jin shouted, the most surprised was undoubtedly Kelliark Zipple.
"Releasing the launch of the second version... It means he has found out!"
No, it couldn"t be.
It was a survival mechanism that only someone who already knew it could handle.
And for Kelliark to know, there was only one human besides him who could know the weakness of the second version.
Valeria Histor, the last survivor of Histor.
Now Kelliac could be sure that she had already made contact with Jin.
However, it was already too late.
Even if it were Kelliark, not Riol Zipple, he couldn"t retrieve the second version already launched in an instant.
The Vamel Alliance and the Sword Saints were already aiming their swords at the runes and lines of the second version.
And Jin prepared Runcandel"s secret technique, grasping the location of the runes and lines that were too far for their swords to reach.
Fifth Secret Technique of Runcandel
Light Speed Thrust - Legends
Far from the flames, lightning extended through the shining runes.
