While the knights were leaving, Zipfel’s fleet distanced itself from castle.
As Amela predicted, the cannons of the Zipfel fleet, including Kozec, had a far superior range than the defense equipment of the sword emperor castle, so there was no reason not to widen the distance.
Of course without Ron, they would have been able to end the Sword Emperor castle in an instant without thinking about efficiency, but now it’s a different story.
While the knights of Hairan were leaving, the fleet also got a chance to get out of Ron's range even a little bit.
Except for Chiron, Zipfel had never fought against an enemy stronger than Ron.
Most mages aboard the fleet did not experience Chiron directly. All the dragons did not meet Chiron, but they were recalling nightmares from Ron.
It reminds them of Murakan in his prime. To the dragons, there was no existence more fearful than Murakan in his prime.
The problem is, the terrifyingly powerful black dragon is also standing next to Ron with both eyes wide open.
Of course, Murakan hadn't regained all of his former strength yet, but the dragons who didn't know that fact feared Murakan more than Ron.
The wind dragon, 'Salion', positioned himself next to Kelliark. He was the one who had recently become the guardian dragon of Octavia when she became Melzaire's new contractor.
“It’s like seeing one of ten great knights from old Runcandel and Murakan together…… uh?"
[T/L:- 십대기사 - ten great knight (I think in mtl it’s translation is teenager knight)]
Salion, who had been talking that far, tilted his head as if something was strange.
It was because he felt puzzled about himself using the word 'ten great knights'.
The other dragons who heard that only felt like Salion mistook the black knight for the name of ten great knights, but did not thought of anything different.
Soon, Salion also forgot that he used the proper noun of ten great knights.
Even if someone else brings up the name again, the dragons will never be conscious of it.
'Certainly, the power of the stories seems to have weakened a little....’
[T/L:- 이야기-stories (it’s represent the tower of stories and the history manipulation that Zipfel did on Temar and old Runcandel knights)]
Kelliark thought quietly.
‘There may be an influence of Ron being nearby, who has the power to go against the fate by being close to the genesis knight realm…… but the biggest problem must be Jin Runcandel.'
[T/L:- Genesis knight has the power to go against the fate means it can change the defined future.]
Power of existence.
Kelliark is clearly aware of the power Jin possessed. Things were worse than he thought. The fact that Ron woke up, the fact that he became stronger, and the fact that Jin's power of existence is being expressed more greatly because of it.
All of this is beyond Kelliark’s expectations. Kelliark was deeply offended by the fact. A feeling of displeasure that comes from a kind of intuition.
It's as if things are going to go awry...… That's how he felt.
“Octavia.”
“Yes, patriarch.”
“When the battle begins, you and the real spectres will infiltrate the castle and secure the White Stone.”
It was not too long ago that he lost his fleet, some blueprints, and machine in the Sota Desert.
If he didn't get the white stone today, Zipfel would have to go back without any gains even after fighting a knight close to the genesis knight.
“Yes, I will prepare the Demon’s God’s orb and infiltrate.”
In order to take the white stone that was already being unlocked, the Demon’s God’s orb is needed.
“It will take some time for the Demon’s God’s orb to be unlocked, so until then I will fight alongside patriarch.”
“No, I use the demon’s God’s orb myself. You wait inside the castle while taking measures so that the aftermath of the battle does not become a problem for the white stone.”
“Patriarch seem to be concerned about the possibility of Runcandel joining forces with Hairan.”
Since Ron woke up in a new realm, as Octavia had said, there was a possibility that Runcandel would join Hairan from the beginning.
But Kelliark thought it was unlikely that Rosa would make such a judgment. As Ron appeared, so Runcandel got a chance to observe more.
“No, the Demon’s God’s orb is necessary even if it is only assumed that I am dealing with Ron Hairan. No one able to defeat Ron now...… except Chiron.”
Octavia flinched and opened her eyes wide. She too had seen Ron's transcendent battle prowess, but she did not recognize the level as perfectly as Kelliark.
Only those who stand on a similar level can know for sure. All of Zipfel’s mages, including Octavia, were at a significantly lower level than Ron.
'I didn't know that not being able to bring Hedo and Kadun would lead to such a painful situation. I didn't want to reveal the power of the Demon’s God’s orb unless it’s time to fight Runcandel.'
-I heard that the power of the fire dragon is needed to use the perfect flame.
It reminded him about Jin's provocation earlier. It is now impossible to deny that.
‘We already have a lot of face. I know how the lower ones who have dealt with Jin Runcandel feel.'
Octavia nodded her head.
“…… Okay. Be careful, patriarch.”
“You should be careful too, it will not be easy to infiltrate.”
The spectres were gathering towards Octavia. Those thirty gray robes were real spectres on a different level from the resurrected ones.
Kelliark knew what they were worried about without looking at the faces of the dragons mixed between the fleets.
“Murakan has not regained the battle prowess of a thousand years ago. If he had it, there's no way the first battle would have ended like that in the first place, so don't let the dragons make a mistake being possessed by the ghost.”
As soon as Kelliark finished speaking, a new, deeper fear filled the eyes of the dragons.
It wasn't because it is more fearful than the old Murakan.
Kiii...….
The sound of the bleak wind echoed from somewhere on the fleet. It sounded like the breathing of some monster. As soon as the sound began, Zipfel’s dragons trembled and bristled their scales.
It was the sound of the Demon’s God’s orb starting to open.
The replica, which reproduced the 'Orb of Origin', had the power to suppress the dragon with instinctive fear, just as Cuicantelle first experienced when fighting Andrei in the past.
The current Demon’s God’s orb is still unfinished, but it is in an incomparably more sophisticated state than it was then. The fear the dragons felt was amplified that much.
“Kuh……!”
“Cuicantelle!”
Even Cuicantelle, who was far away from the Demon’s God’s Orb, stumbled as if toppling over. As Murakan helped her, she let out a rough, unsteady breath.
“Zipfel has brought the Demon’s God’s Orb…… Damn, I don’t have enough strength in my body.”
“Don’t talk, take a deep breath. Kid, she can't participate in battle. In this state, she can't even retreat alone. I will evacuate her to the outside of the demon’s God’s orb range and come back.”
Cuicantelle didn't even bother to fight together. She's upset, but she admits that she's only a burden at this rate.
Among the currently active dragons, the number of beings capable of resisting the energy of the Demon’s God’s orb could be counted on one hand. Among them, only Murakan and Misha are completely immune.
[If Cuicantelle is at this level, most of the dragons over there should have bubbled up and crashed…… That one, that shiny thing. Is it a necklace? It seems to be blocking the demon god’s orb energy to some extent.]
Murakan said, transforming into his true form and putting Cuicantelle on his back. All the dragons in Zipfel’s side were wearing something shiny around their necks.
[It's more like shackles than a necklace. It looks pretty unstable...… Ron, he must be afraid of you. Seeing that he took out the Demon’s God’s orb while harming his allies. Everyone fight well until I return.]
Ron felt the energy of the demon’s God’s orb more deeply than the dragons. The demon’s God’s orb gave off an aura similar to the chaos of the white stone that he had been fighting within while unconscious.
As Murakan flew towards the rear, most of Zipfel’s dragons felt even more relieved, mistaking that he had left because he was afraid of the Demon’s God’s orb power.
"Jin."
“Yes, Lord Ron.”
“There will be those who infiltrate the inner castle. Maybe Octavia will take on that role. I will cover the entire battlefield, but there will surely be gaps. You and the Vamel Alliance together with the Sword saints stop them. Can I leave it to you?”
It was no different from Ron leaving his back to Jin.
“It's an honor.”
“When the fight is over.”
Ron put his hand on Jin's shoulder and continued his conversation.
“Let’s have a drink together with my pretty grandson.”
It was an indescribably gentle voice, as if he was talking to Dante. Jin seemed to feel the warm affection of 'grandfather', something he had never experienced before. It felt like receiving an unexpected gift ahead of a fateful war.
Sureng...….
Rashid came out of the scabbard.
“Kelliark! Let's get started.”
Ron's plain and low voice shook the area once again. At the same time, the flames surrounding Zipfel’s fleet grew thicker, and the phoenix Beloit let out a roar.
The war has begun again.
The first attack is the responsibility of sword emperor castle.
Ron swing his sword at the center of his fleet, not too fast.
However, the trajectory that even ordinary people could easily read contained the state of transcendence he had attained.
His invisible sword began attacking the fleet before the action was finished.
The invisible sword aura continued to frantically gnaw through the curtain of fire that Kelliark and Beloit had opened.
And that wasn't all. The invisible swords that passed through the curtain of fire soon became a typhoon and completely covered the entire area of Zipfel’s fleet and sword emperor castle.
As a shield for allies, and as a slashing wind of a terrible sword that rips flesh and bone of enemies.
In a single blow, Ron completely made the battlefield his own. Ron's words of 'covering the entire battlefield' are not just a saying.
From the start, Beloit was tired of those ignorant invisible swords, and Kelliark was wielding the Hroti with his eyes wide open.
Octavia couldn't penetrate Ron's territory, so it seemed like she couldn't even start infiltrating.
Kelliark forced a path through it, firing nonstop spatial explosions into it, but it wasn't easy to squeeze their body through the precarious gap. As the real spectres spread out the Red Abyss to make room, Kelliark began chanting another legacy of Riol Zipfel.
“Ruyan!”
But Ron wasn't the only one on the battlefield. There is a reason why Ron, the five sword saints of Hairan, left them until the end.
The Sword saints are able to display their greatest strength only when Ron is present.
“I allow the use of Sword of the overlord. Show the enemy the power of the Hairan sword saint.”
