The fleet was being destroyed by the five sword saints and the sword of Calmine.

 

The powers of shadow and time continued to trample the enemies.

 

Fragments of the shattered mass-produced ship fell menacingly to the ground, but even that was blocked by the fire barrier and did not cause much damage to the Vamel Alliance and the knights of Hairan.

 

Amela also continued her support with rear artillery.

 

The captured dragon lances were now over twenty, and all were converted into howitzers to strike the enemy's rear.

 

“The dragon knights! Crush the enemy, block their magic so they don't counterattack!”

 

At Calmine's command, the dragon knights began flying towards the enemy camp.

 

There was no group in the world that could follow the dragon knight in aerial warfare. The 30 dragon knights who were frantically stirring the sky were showing the best match for air combat against mages.

 

“Ah!”

 

“Damage, blood… ugh!"

 

When Calmine and the Sword saints penetrated the shield, the dragon knights rushed in and killed the mages.

 

No one would have ever imagined that the mages of Zipfel, accompanied by a fleet and dragons, would die so pointlessly.

 

The screams and pleading voices of the enemies spread in the air and in the sky, everywhere.

 

The five sword saint and dragon knights answered like this. Whenever they faced the voice and eyes asking for help.

 

“Are you saying you invaded the land of sword emperor with such light determination?”

 

“Not one of them will survive!”

 

Whoaaah-!

 

Of course, Zipfel was not suffering alone.

 

White night mages were showing fighting spirit and potential even while on the defensive.

 

“The brilliant light of the Great Zipfel will eventually devour you!”

 

One of the commanders of the White night raised his wand in a growl.

 

Then, the ship that was in charge of the unit's flagship was stained with mana and caused an ominous resonance.

 

Not all of them have had much experience with flying ships, and they don't know all of the magic and combat methods of the Zipfel.

 

They could tell intuitively. What that resonant sound meant was self-destruction.

 

[It's messy. Murakan, you'll have to stop that one. The power is too great to be bound by my authority. Even if it's a mass-produced ship, it’s a flying ship after all, right?]

 

[You're bothering me, bugs...….]

 

“Praise Zipfel!”

 

“Dragon Knight, spread out!”

 

Right before the ship exploded, Murakan, who had narrowed the distance, wrapped his wings around the flying ship.

 

The aerodynamically extended wings remained large enough to cover the flying ship.

 

“Lord Murakan!”

 

“Explosion!”

 

“What a fool, but you can stop it……!”

 

Whoa...…!

 

The worried voices of the Hairan knights were drowned out by the explosion that soon followed.

 

The commander of the White Night, who had been spitting mocking words, was swept away by the explosion of the fleet in the wings of Murakan and disintegrated as it was.

 

However, the flying ship’s self-destruction was not visible to the outside at all.

 

It couldn't pierce Murakan's wings. When Murakan spread his wings again, only the wreckage of the ship, which had become ashes, mixed with the shadow force fell to the ground like black rain.

 

[You guys have a knack for displeasing me, as it always has been for a thousand years…….]

 

Thousands of black awls popped out of the wings that still held their gigantic shape. Surprisingly, the awls did not do any damage to the allies in the sky, and spread while slaughtering only the mages, dragons, and fleets of Zipfel.

 

Murakan.

 

People were watching the power of the legendary black dragon that everyone feared as the supreme ruler of the sky a thousand years ago.

 

No one could know that it was only 50% of the power.

 

That's why the dragons of Zipfel were now mistaken that Murakan had regained all his strength. It was a part where Zipfel had no choice but to lose all their will to fight.

 

The war had already been reversed from the moment Jin appeared. With the addition of Murakan, Cuicantelle, the Dragon Knight and the sword saints, now Hairan's battle seemed to be moving toward a complete victory.

 

[Murakan!]

 

A blue dragon settled down in front of Murakan.

 

It was Laramaqua, whom he had met before at Black King Mountain.

 

[Blue Dragon Laramaqua. Did you come to throw away the life that I spared back then?]

 

[…… Murakan, I know why you are intervening in this fight. It must be to save your contractor, Jin Runcandel’s friend.]

 

[You talk like you don't like that, Laramaqua.]

 

[You aren’t welcomed. There will be no being in this sky who dares to say that he doesn't like you. But…… I would like to make a suggestion.]

 

Murakan's wings became even bigger. Laramaqua was weighed down by his overbearing appearance, and it was difficult to even meet his gaze.

 

[Speak.]

 

[Can you take your contractor and leave?]

 

[I allowed you to speak at most, so are you scorning me?]

 

[Not only your contractor, but also his comrades and all the knights of Hairan. If you do, Zipfel will immediately declare defeat and an end to the war. I swear by the honor of my bloodline and the name of Kaon, the god of the sea whom I serve.]

 

At Laramaqua's words, everyone on the battlefield's eyes widened. In particular, the emperor, who was at the rear of the battlefield, was angry with bloodshot eyes.

 

“What is that crazy blue dragon talking about right now…… !”

 

When Zipfel officially declares defeat, the Empire must follow suit. It was a story that went beyond a plummeting prestige, and could lead to the destruction of the entire imperial family.

 

Emperor had not heard anything about this when the he made a deal with Zipfel to lend their strength in this civil war.

 

It was an incomprehensible proposal to the emperor.

 

Zipfel’s reinforcements will continue to arrive anyway, and the ‘spatial-time device' has not yet been used.

 

The emperor's army also had a number of secrets prepared for the worst case scenario.

 

‘Even if Chiron Runcandel is here instead of Black Dragon Murakan, he won’t be able to deal with all of the Zipfel. Why are you talking bullshit like that! It's a chance to get a white stone, but is it really a waste of these troops?'

 

[T/L:- Tsk,Tsk. You can’t able to handle Jin and talking about Chiron.]

 

The moment Murakan accepted the terms, the Vamel Alliance and Hairan were to win a landslide victory over Zipfel and the Empire.

 

Is that all?

 

As Jin told Dante at the beginning, he was able to leave the battlefield by saving not only Dante but the entire Sword emperor Castle.

 

Jin’s status further rise within the clan with the great victory against Zipfel alone, and there was a high possibility that Hairan would become his force while still maintaining its full strength.

 

The explosion and shouts that had been echoing on the battlefield until just now was gone, and a frighteningly quiet silence hung over it.

 

The people stopped fighting and fixed their eyes on Murakan and Laramaqua.

 

Murakan did not answer. Because he didn't think it was a question for him to answer.

 

The Commander-in-Chief of the Vamel Alliance, and the person acting on behalf of Solderet, is his own contractor.

 

“No!”

 

When Jin shouted, the emperor smiled all over and let out a sigh, and Laramaqua gnashed his teeth.

 

Hairan’s knights did not reveal their thoughts. It was because what they were trying to protect was honor, not life, from the moment they decided to confront the Emperor's rampage.

 

Also, water that has already been spilled cannot be refilled.

 

Although the casualties in Hairan were not yet serious, if even one person was killed by the sword of betrayal, it would have been as if everyone had died.

 

If so, not only honor, but they had to protect one more. They must never give up what their enemies covet.

 

“Blue Dragon is mistaken. Why did this war happen? Because of the white stone, the object the Emperor claims belongs to him. The Empire betrayed the Sword emperor castle because of just that, and Zipfel is participating in the fight with dirty desires.”

 

[The 12th flagbearer of Runcandel... You're going too far.]

 

“I am standing here as the commander-in-chief of the Vamel Alliance, not as the 12th flagbearer of Runcandel. So be polite when you speak, blue dragon.”

 

Laramaqua was stunned at those words, but Murakan in front of him was revealing his bloodlust as if he would tear off his wings at any moment.

 

Be polite, what the word means was gaze.

 

Jin wasn't looking up at Laramaqua. In the end, Laramaqua landed on the ground, in front of Jin, and transformed into a human.

 

Jin stared at him with expressionless face.

 

‘Is it the same person I met at Black King Mountain? It hasn't been a year since...….’

 

The pressure was different. At the time, Laramaqua hadn't been particularly impressed with Jin because of Murakan’s power, but not now.

 

The heavy and powerful energy that weighed on his inside would not be lacking even if he was maintaining this position as the representative of Runcandel, not as the leader of the Vamel Alliance.

 

It wasn't just a feeling that came from the result of Jin's remarkable growth in the meantime.

 

It was because the ‘power of existence’, which was first known from the records left by Solderlet in the past, was slowly awakening from Jin.

 

The many changes that Jin has caused in the world, and the power awakened by those who follow him.

 

That power was forming a transcendental class beyond battle prowess and strength.

 

“…… May I ask why you are rejecting my offer?”

 

“As I said before, the war was caused by greed for the white stone. So if anyone have to retreat, it must be you, not us. Give up the white stone of Hairan and withdraw. If you accept my revised proposal, I will immediately persuade Dante and the sword emperor to declare an end to the war.”

 

“Is it not enough to save friends and their people? That white stone may not be very important to Runcandel...…!”

 

“It’s not up to you decide whether or not that is important to Runcandel.”

 

"I mean, you're thinking of going into an all-out war with Zipfel!"

 

Considering the immediate situation, perhaps Laramaqua could have been right.

 

If they continued to fight like this, they would have to prepare for devastating damage to Jin and the people of Jin as well as Sword emperor castle.

 

However, Jin was convinced that if the white stone fell to the enemies, it would result in even more terrible consequences.

 

Just by looking at the Zipfel’s desire this much, it will eventually become an object that destroys those who are not Zipfel.

 

“There is nothing I can do. But in fact, isn't it you, that really fears an all-out war? That's why you suggested negotiations before the war escalated. No. If you are confident, go ahead. I mean, don't insult me, my comrades, and the sword emperor castle by making unreasonable suggestions.”
