The soft indigo color that illuminated Lionel’s body was fading.
His soul is leaving. Lionel’s body, whose soul had disappeared, became a hideous and dark form like the other masses of chaos.
The soul went to the mausoleum like the wind. Jin immediately unleashed the Shadow Sword, guessed that this was the key to summon Lionel again later.
As if cutting human flesh, a clear sensation was transmitted when the blade touched soul, but the soul did not stop returning even as it was being torn apart.
Lionel will appear again. However, it was not Lionel that was the problem right now, but the owner of the new energy that was coming out of the mausoleum.
‘This energy…….’
A blue energy like the thunderbolts of the Plutonian was emerging from the distant chaos.
The energy of one of the ten great knight that Jin saw in Temar’s tomb in the past.
Padler Runcandel.
The second knight summoned from the mausoleum was Padler.
He also had a body that glowed indigo like Lionel. There seemed to be some difference between the normal chaos summons and Lionel and Padler.
-One of ten great Knight, Padler Runcandel. I have been given the name of Runcandel by the patriarch and I have enjoyed infinite glory. I will apologize for attacking the patriarch, even after my death.
As soon as Jin saw Padler, he remembered what he had said in the recording device.
A thousand years ago, when Temar was consumed by chaos and Murakan decided to kill Temar, who was in the Black Sea Tower, he was one of the two knights whom Murakan took along.
Jin didn’t know much about the Padler. All he saw was a few fragmentary aspects in the recording device left behind by Solderet.
But one thing was certain. The fact that Padler is someone who should never be standing here right now.
In the first place, none of the ten great knights were enshrined in the mausoleum. Not only in the mausoleum, but anywhere in the Garden of Swords, there was no story about them. Because Zipfel erased all of their history.
All the ten great knights that Jin has met so far have become Temar’s tomb guardians and have been fighting a lonely war for a long time.
-(Garden of Swords, announced the discovery of the legacy of Temar Runcandel, the first patriarch… No specific announcement was made, but a strong will to recover the clan’s forgotten history was expressed.)
A sentence that suddenly popped into Jin’s mind.
‘Temar’s fifth tomb…… Sir Padler was probably guarding it.’
The Prophet is using the Padler, who was the guardian of the Fifth Tomb.
Either the clan reached Temar’s tomb before Valeria did, or they attacked her who found the tomb. Either way, Jin felt like his heart was about to rot.
As the Padler got closer, the bodies of Ran, Vigo, Myu, and Anne, who had been pushed far away in the aftermath of the battle, were disintegrating into particles.
Their particles seemed to flow into Padler. They became a material for summoning Padler.
However, Jin did not think that it was the death of four people.
“…… Sir Padler Runcandel. You do not know me, but I do know you.”
[No, I know you. Jin Runcandel, currently the 12th flagbearer of Runcandel. Ilina told me about you.]
“What did she say about me?”
[You are someone who resembles the person who was my lord, Temar Runcandel.]
“I have often heard such comments.”
[But I have very little memory of him.]
“I thought I would be able to hear the story of those days, but it’s a pity. Then, the reason why you are blocking my way now…… Is it for Runcandel?”
Padler shook his head, widening his eyes as if he had heard something strange.
[Jin Runcandel. You honor someone, you give your kingdom, you give your whole body, you give your whole life, and then you are betrayed…… Can you fight for him?]
Jin didn’t answer and made eye contact with Padler. Black tears flowed from his eyes like dead blood.
[There is only one thing that I remember about Temar Runcandel. It is true that he finally destroyed my kingdom, Idal, with his own hands, without leaving even a handful of soil or any life behind.]
Padler Runcandel.
He is not originally a pure-blood Runcandel. Like Sylderay, he was inspired by Temar and was given the name of Runcandel.
His real name is Padler Idal.
King of the Idal kingdom that existed a thousand years ago, a magic swordsman called the ‘Blue Thunder King’, and a rare genius who perfected the magic sword that was considered unique to Runcandel.
Jin couldn’t tell if Padler’s words were true or false, or if history was fabricated.
But it seemed that no words could quell the hatred that filled his heart.
[What I want is not the revival of Runcandel, but corruption and destruction. Descendant of Temar, your mother. This power that Rosa Runcandel chose will eventually plunge Runcandel into Hell.]
“Prior to meeting you, sir, I met Sir Sylderay and lady Sarah at Temar’s Tomb. Although to be exact they were guardians made with a soul. I also caught glimpses of them and sir, you’re talking in the Solderet’s recording device. They…….”
[Do you want to say that you were different from me? Is that why you want to force me to sacrifice?]
A sneer formed on the Padler’s face.
“Do you remember them?”
[No. I don’t remember, and I don’t want to remember.]
Seureung…….
Padler slowly drew his sword. ‘Silus’, the sword that symbolized his blue lighting bolts a thousand years ago, was spreading blue light.
The sword was not forged by chaos or spirits, but the very thing that existed a thousand years ago.
[I will defeat you today and get my revenge against Temar and that’s my only reason for being a demon. I have no personal grudge against you.]
“I don’t know everything about a thousand years ago, Sir Padler. And what I wanted to say when I brought up the names of Sir Sylderay and lady Sarah was not that you also had to be like them.”
Jin closed his eyes tightly.
“…… I just wanted to say that they and you seemed to care for each other very much, sir. That would probably be the time before the fall of the Idal kingdom in your memory.”
-[Before you came, I killed all of them. Oh, to be exact, I swept them with the Padler. You’re late again, man. Where did you goof around this time?]
-[Padler is a bit injured. I’m as strong as always, but that weakling should probably be trained by you or the patriarch.]
-What the heck, shouldn’t you stop using expressions like “melting people”?
-To me, people are only those who are not enemies of Runcandel, weakling. You know what you’re doing, but you don’t know who you are.
-Still, it doesn’t seem like it’s good for you emotionally.
– Am I a teenage girl? Take care of your health while taking care of my emotions.
The words Jin heard when he faced Guardian Sarah and the conversations he saw on the recording device.
Sarah and Padler seemed to have a particularly special relationship. To the point where they feel more like lovers than just comrades.
But now, Padler was not impressed by the remnants of the flames of hell left everywhere.
Jin, who opened his eyes again, lifted Bradamante up. It is possible enough to reopen the flames of hell. He had lost his stamina from the previous battle, but that was not a problem at all.
However, it was too cruel to slash Padler with the sword inherited from Sarah.
Regardless of the circumstances that Jin doesn’t know, even considering Sarah who first said the name of the Padler after waking up after a thousand years.
[You can’t replace the heart, that once belonged to someone, is gone.]
Jin nodded his head bitterly.
“Cutting you down today goes beyond discerning truth from lies, sir…… Because it is regarded as the path for you, sir. Please do not forgive your poor descendants for his inevitable choices.”
Padler apparently died a thousand years ago. The lives of the dead who wake up in chaos are just filled with futile hatred.
The only thing Jin could do for the Padler was to quickly stop the time that forcibly drawn like a broken cart.
[Sure, they say you look like Temar, but you are arrogant. How dare you cut me with that weary body…….]
As he said, Padler was not a person that Jin could handle alone in tired state.
He was the one of strongest ten great knights, always fighting alongside Sarah. What that fact meant was simple.
Sarah, who was mentioned as the strongest among ten great knight, thought of him as the most reliable comrade. Even if Jin’s physical condition was normal, he would not have been able to guarantee the victory.
“Also, don’t forgive me for not being able to handle you alone, sir.”
Shadow force wrapped around Bradamante.
Special Shadow Sword technique
Black light Call
Bradamante’s black blade cut through the chaos-filled air. Then as usual, along the trajectory of the blade, the black door leading to Laprarosa opened.
Jin was nervous. The brethren battle king must be summoned in order to subdue Padler as quickly as possible and to receive help in the ensuing battle and even escape.
Even if a ordinary warrior was summoned, it would certainly be of great help, but Jin had to bet too much on the fight against the Padler.
Fortunately, seeing the summoned brethren, Jin sighed inwardly.
A large bow that is unbelievably huge for a weapon used by humans, ‘God Killer’ was sparking thunderbolts.
10th battle king of Plutonian tribe, Kaio. He was coming out of the portal of summoning black light.
“Sorry for calling you, Brother Kaio.”
“Brother Jin, has the moment, when you need the strength of the other brethren, already come even after becoming the battle king?”
It seemed like he was talking bluntly, but after Jin left, Kaio was looking forward to a moment like this coming sooner than anyone else.
Just as Jin still felt sorry for him, so did Kaio. Even if brethren don’t have grudges against each other.
“Anyway, this is how it feels like to win. I am Kaio, the 10th battle king of the Great Plutonian tribe. I came into the world at the call of my brother, so name the enemy.”
Kaio suddenly stopped talking.
He recognized the lightning bolts of Padler, which resembled the aura of the Plutonian.
“A human who uses powers similar to ours… Could it be that you are the descendant of Temar’s human companion called the Blue Thunder King?”
