Swordmaster's Youngest Son

Chapter 614

C614

It was like a dreamlike battle.

The sensation and experience of the God of Battle that Jin had in the initial battle lingered in his mind, stimulating his thoughts even days afterward.

It was as if a warrior had been exposed to powerful inspiration just before creating a masterpiece.

Jin constantly replayed the initial combat in his mind, his eyes remaining distant.

'I was just blocking Brother Kaio's arrows. Instead of blocking, if I had countered and redirected them as they were, it would have been easier to deal with the follow-up attacks from the brothers. And....'

The members of the Tribe of Legends clicked their tongues worriedly after seeing Jin like this.

"Since the initial battle, Brother Jin has become strange."

"It seems he has taken a liking to it. Is it because he regrets that the power of Sister Goddess of Battle is not truly his?"

"Anyway, now that everyone has been treated, the Great Battle Kings Tournament will begin today. That's why I'm worried if Brother Jin will properly face Brother Twelfth Battle King."

As Vahn said, the first battle after the inaugural fight was between Jin and Teto. Unlike Jin, Teto continued to train hard every day as soon as Boras' treatment ended.

Jin can no longer use the God of Battle Fusion until the Great Battle Kings Tournament is over.

He must compete with his brothers solely with his own strength.

Ordinary warriors gathered to chat or train together, but the Battle Kings did not even exchange glances, except for Boras.

It was as if the once-close brothers were no longer so.

Regardless of who the opponent was, an intense mental battle was inevitable, leading to a fierce confrontation with willpower and fighting spirit.

Even if one became the final winner, apart from the God of Battle, all members of the Legends were simply brothers.

At least, it had always been this way in Vahn's era.

However, the Battle Kings adopted such a severe stance due to their inherent pride and self-esteem.

They believed that giving it their all was the only considerate act toward their opponents.

Above all, the final winner of the Great Battle Kings Tournament means being "the closest to the God of Battle."

The existence of the God of Battle is the ultimate goal of the Legends.

Becoming the closest to the God of Battle is the greatest honor a Legend can enjoy.

Jin also wanted to be the protagonist of that glory.

Kururuk-! Pzzz!

Suddenly, a lightning bolt struck from above the main hall.

It signaled that the match was about to begin. Challenging the falling lightning, the Legends on the ground rushed toward the main hall.

Using ropes, creating wind blades to fly, or stepping on the backs of climbing brothers and jumping.

It was a strange spectacle, but amid the challenge to the lightning, there was a sublime atmosphere surrounding the Legends ascending to the main hall.

Vahn awaited them in the center of the main hall.

"Brother Twelfth Battle King and Brother Jin, step forward."

It was then that Jin and Teto looked each other in the eyes for the first time.

Unlike his usual playful behavior, Teto was full of fighting spirit, while Jin maintained his composure.

"The rules are simple. Make the opponent unable to fight or throw him out of the main hall to achieve victory. Also, killing is strictly prohibited, but there are no restrictions on the use of any kind of sword techniques."

All the members of the Tribe of Legends waiting, including the God of Battle, were security personnel, so even if you used sword techniques at will, you couldn't easily kill the opponent.

However, accidents were inevitable.

When the lightning subsided, a moment of silence enveloped the surroundings.

The fight began with Vahn turning around as a signal.

Suaak-!

Jin extended his sword first.

The energy of the sword and the lightning bolts exploded in all directions and, meanwhile, Teto thrust his spear.

From the first clash, both clearly aimed for lethal blows.

Jin aimed at the chest, and Teto at the neck, and sparks flew from both areas without leaving a trace.

As the drops of blood splattered, they evaporated without a trace in the lightning.

The distance of about a hundred steps narrowed and widened repeatedly, and images of the two were left everywhere.

It was incomparable to when they faced each other to check Jin's skills before purifying the chaos.

The spectators were also very nervous.

It was so intense that it wouldn't be strange for an accident to happen at any moment.

"This can't be all you have, right? Fight properly, Brother Jin!"

Teto shouted and repelled Jin with a burst of energy.

Jin, who had been pushed back, became unstable due to consecutive attacks, and Teto relentlessly pressed on that opening.

However, something was amiss.

Even with Jin losing his center of gravity, Teto could only inflict superficial wounds on him.

Of course, although they were small wounds, they accumulated quickly, and the impacts were destined to build up. Still, for some reason, Teto acted cautiously, feeling uneasy.

'This doesn't feel right...'

Meanwhile, Jin kept recalling the initial battle, trying to utilize that sensation to the fullest in his current state without the use of the God of Battle Fusion.

"Ah!"

When Jin widened his eyes and exclaimed, Teto suddenly stopped attacking.

"Sorry, Brother Twelfth Battle King. I couldn't concentrate because I was thinking."

It wasn't a lie, but he spoke intentionally with a sneer to provoke.

Teto narrowed his eyes and responded:

"Throwing out such shallow provocations suddenly ruins the mood, Brother Jin."

"Well then, I apologize."

It was just a test by provocation. Jin recalled part of the sensation from that moment.

Then, he felt confident he could defeat Teto in an instant. Although he might be the weakest among the Battle Kings, he was still a Battle King of the Tribe of Legends.

Zzzzz......!

The swirling lightning gathered in Sigmund.

At that moment, not only Teto but also those watching could see what kind of sword Jin would execute.

"As a gesture of apology, I'll take your opinion into account, Brother Twelfth Battle King."

10 Stars.

Jin's aura had already reached that level. However, having a strength of 10 stars wasn't enough.

What mattered was how transcendently and efficiently one could handle that power.

"I hope this sword remains as a glorious memory for you, Brother Twelfth Battle King."

Sword of the God of Battle, Tenth Sword Technique

Reign of the King of Legends - Unleashed

Except for Vahn, the brothers had never seen Jin using the Reign of the King of Legends.

Even if they had seen it, the members of the Tribe of Legends probably wouldn't have been particularly excited.

The Sword of the Reign of the King of Legends that Jin had displayed in the meantime couldn't even be compared to Vahn's original version and was fundamentally incomplete.

However, the current Sword of the Reign of the King of Legends was different.

Although its power was still far below the original, its form and execution were close to perfection.

This was achieved by Jin's body, using Vahn's senses to execute it.

'Brother Jin... as expected, did you learn the God of Battle's Ultimate Techniques?'

The Ninth Battle King, Baba, who was watching, unconsciously smiled with a bitter expression.

Teto, who was facing the ultimate technique, couldn't help but be stunned.

The floor of the main hall was crushed, and the lightning erupted like lava.

Jin's eyes shone with the blue of the lightning, and the Light Heart vibrated as if it would explode at any moment, scattering brilliance.

The fierce lightning caused a storm, quickly forming Jin's domain.

In response, Teto also executed his Battle King's Spear.

Within Jin's domain, Teto's Light Heart swayed, clearly forming a prominent point.

The energies emanating from the two hearts collided, creating a blue flame.

Compared to the real thing... it's nothing!

The result was decided the moment Teto shouted this.

If it really were nothing, he wouldn't have hastily executed the Battle King Techniques.

However, although Jin was confident in his victory, he didn't stop the advance of his sword.

As he had experienced in the initial battle, the Battle Kings were beings capable of creating variables at any moment, even in absolutely unfavorable situations.

They were opponents who could sharpen the Sword of the Reign of the King of Legends with all their might.

Following the Third Sword Movement of the God of Battle - Condemnation, the newly learned Seventh Sword Movement - Dragon Slayer and the Ninth Sword Movement - Annihilation targeted Teto.

An ordinary warrior wouldn't be able to withstand even one of them.

In contrast, the ordinary warriors were enduring the storm of the Sword of the Reign of the King of Legends without Vahn's help and the Battle Kings.

"Kaaaaa......!"

Teto's spear instantly deflected Jin's lightning energy.

If Jin hadn't extended his Sword of the Reign of the King of Legends, Teto's spear would have had enough power to put Jin in a crisis.

[You shouldn't have given me time to think, Brother Twelfth Battle King.]

The second form of the ultimate technique, the Sword of the Reign of the King of Legends, The War Wasn't Executed. If the intention wasn't to deliberately take Teto's life, it was already enough to end the fight.

It was the ninth sword movement, Annihilation, that defeated Teto.

A massive blue energy spread around Jin like giant wings, generating a storm of lightning that struck Teto.

Teto couldn't escape.

Dodge, block, endure...

That was all Teto could do.

Little by little, Teto retreated and retreated, and the blade of Annihilation slashed at him more ferociously.

With power amplified to the limit through the Sword of the Reign of the King of Legends.

"Ha, huh......!"

When Annihilation finally ceased, Teto appeared lifeless, covered in blood, and Jin didn't stop there.

He shot the punch of Condemnation one last time.

As Teto lost consciousness, he tried to dodge Condemnation until the last moment.

It was inevitable that Teto would fall out of the hall, unable to withstand the impact.

Jin suppressed the rising energy, took a deep breath, and other brothers immediately rushed toward the falling Teto.

At the end of the battle, it was a tradition of the Great Tournament to rescue the loser in any way possible.

Zas!

Lumora grabbed Teto, and the other brothers pulled them back to the main hall.

"I told you to wake up. Brother Twelfth Battle King, it was because you fought with such a fragile mind that you were so severely wounded. Try again next time, Brother Jin. Originally, Brother Twelfth Battle King had to win to be normal."

"The battle is over, the winner is Brother Jin."

After Vahn solemnly announced the result, Jin didn't hear the usual thunderous cheers from the Tribe of Legends.

Instead, what greeted him was the fierce gaze of the Battle Kings, as if they were ready to devour him immediately.

Even in the midst of this, there were Battle Kings who secretly swallowed air and ate up Jin's achievement.

'This is the first and last easy victory.'

Jin had no choice but to swallow dryly while receiving the murderous glares of his brothers with a smile.
