Swordmaster's Youngest Son Chapter 608

Chapter 608

C608

"[Get lost!]"

Chaos yelled.

There wasn't pressure like before.

Chaos now had a body roughly the size of a wolf, and even that seemed difficult to maintain as it kept shrinking every moment.

As Jin carefully chose his words, more punches flew towards him.

Although he managed to dodge them again thanks to a brief opening, continuing to face off in his exhausted state was unreasonable.

"Now that I think about it, in the last battle there were always moments when Chaos could have killed me."

Attributing it solely to luck seemed strange.

However, Jin couldn't be sure that Chaos wouldn't "kill" him.

Only now was the fact clearly revealed by stopping the punch at the crucial moment, but there were more than one or two times when Jin was on the brink of death.

"I better get out first."

Jin never knows when Chaos will change his mind.

Jin used the last of his Shadow Energy to open a rift to Lafrarosa.

Before leaving, Jin looked at Chaos, which was roaring unstably.

"Oh, are you leaving so quickly this time?"

"Brother Jin, have you finally defeated that guy!?"

"It's too soon to say I've won. I used the Ultimate Shadow Sword Technique to weaken him and regain my strength."

"Come to think of it, I can feel a powerful aura back in you... congratulations, Brother Jin!"

"Furthermore, since he's weakened now, it's over in the next battle! We should prepare for a celebration soon."

As the brothers shouted excitedly, Jin felt uncomfortable for some reason.

The long-awaited victory is right in front of me, but why do I feel so bad?".

As Vahn approached, Jin explained the situation he had gone through inside.

"....Seeing the punch stop at the end made me think he couldn't kill me. Before I thought it might be possible, but... Sister G.o.ddess of Battle, did you know anything?".

"Rather than saying he can't kill you, it's more accurate to say he won't kill you."

At Vahn's words, the Legends tilted their heads.

"He won't kill me?"

"Yes."

"Explain, please."

"When you visited his subs.p.a.ce for the first time, Chaos's internal thoughts were also transmitted to me."

Vahn's gaze reached Jin's illuminated heart.

So far, they could use the G.o.d of Battle Fusion if both were together within 500m of Chaos's gate.

The G.o.d of Battle Fusion was a kind of resonance, and the catalyst triggering it was Chaos.

Jin's G.o.ddess of Battle blood mixed with Chaos's and caused changes.

As a result, Jin and Chaos could read each other's thoughts in a certain area.

And the resonance wasn't limited to Jin and Chaos.

Like Jin, Vahn had also established a connection with Chaos, thanks to his inherent characteristics.

"The resonance between Chaos and me only occurs when you create a rift and escape from Chaos's subs.p.a.ce. Just like there you could only read Chaos's thoughts."

Therefore, Vahn had read Jin's and Chaos's feelings after each battle.

In the process, the information Vahn discovered was as follows:

First, Chaos couldn't escape from the subs.p.a.ce on his own once he's in "gate" form.

Second, Chaos was awaiting Jin's arrival.

After Vahn explained these things, Jin seemed to understand why Vahn had vehemently urged for a duel.

She was sure Chaos wouldn't kill Jin.

The reason wasn't another.

"Because he feels lonely. Chaos has been forced into his territory, but there he feels extremely lonely. Moreover, only you can go to that place, so if he kills you, he'll be alone forever, Brother Jin."

-[Tch, you run away well...! Next time, I'll definitely send you to the afterlife!]

-[This time you took a long time, didn't you?]

-[What, did you bring a toy for me?]

Suddenly, Jin remembered some of the things Chaos had said.

Most were taunts and jeers, but sometimes Chaos subtly revealed expressions of loneliness.

Did he mean it?

He had developed sympathy for Chaos.

Of course, it was a strange emotion.

Just recently, Jin's feelings towards Chaos were closer to hatred towards a mortal enemy.

But even after Chaos received such a tremendous blow, knowing he couldn't win next time, he still stopped the punch at the end...

In reality, he had been hoping someone would come to kill him in that dark s.p.a.ce.

Jin couldn't help but feel sorry.

"And I think at some point you must have known he wasn't killing you. Just that you couldn't think more about it because of your anger towards Chaos."

It was as Vahn said.

"...It wasn't just anger. It's Chaos. It also stole all my strength. So, to me, it was a target that needed to be punished, regardless of its mood."

He wasn't a good opponent to fight, not even a bit shaken by compa.s.sion and other emotions. He was so strong that even if Jin fought in a well-prepared state, he couldn't win.

Vahn nodded slowly.

"Yes, that's true. That's why I didn't stop you from fighting him until you could win. It seemed like it would be of great help to your training, and indeed it did."

One of the greatest drivers of human growth is hatred.

During the past year and three months, Jin had dedicated himself to training and fighting with a deeper anger than ever before.

The result was the First Movement of the Ultimate Shadow Sword Technique, first night.

Moreover, today he had regained all his former strength, and the acc.u.mulated aura and mana remained intact.

Purely in terms of power magnitude, Jin had already reached 10 stars in both aura and mana.

Jin completed his Ultimate Technique and reached the last part of the 9 stars in Shadow Energy.

Swoosh..!

Suddenly, Jin's and Vahn's Light Hearts radiated an even brighter glow. As always, it wasn't a phenomenon that both Jin and Vahn desired.

"Kuh......!"

An unexpectedly huge force surged in Jin's Light Heart.

Jin would have fainted after a few seconds if he hadn't regained his original strength just a moment ago.

Now he could endure it. Although fatigued, the energies flooding his body again absorbed Vahn's power like trees welcoming rain after a drought.

The problem lay with Vahn. Vahn stumbled momentarily because the force released was so enormous that it was incomparable to before.

"Sister G.o.ddess of Battle!"

"Sister G.o.ddess of Battle...!"

The Legends panicked and rushed to Vahn.

She raised her hand as if to rea.s.sure them, but her face showed signs of exhaustion.

"There's no need to complain, brothers. Let's leave the training field."

As soon as they moved 500m away from the training field, the G.o.d of Battle Fusion was canceled.

"Now that I think about it, now that Brother Jin has regained all his strength, can't we bring down the gate?"

"If you do that, the G.o.d of Battle Fusion phenomenon will disappear, but... Since that wasn't Brother Jin's purpose in the first place, there's no need for Brother Jin to intervene to defeat Chaos."

Boras responded to Nata's words.

"Brother Jin."

"Yes, Sister G.o.ddess of Battle."

"What are you going to do?"

"Are you asking if I want to kill Chaos?"

"Yes."

The eyes of the Legends focused on Jin.

Vahn remained expressionless, while other members of the Tribe of Legends seemed divided in their opinions.

Some wanted to eliminate the first Chaos immediately, while others suggested watching for a while, considering its pitiful state.

"Hmmmm. Brother Jin. This is a matter you must decide, but I think sparing his life might be a good idea."

"Brother Boras! What are you talking about? That thing is the first Chaos. Now that Brother Jin has regained his strength, we should get rid of it quickly. We don't know if it has any hidden power, and leaving it alone could cause problems later."

"Yes, it may seem regrettable, but we know better than anyone how dangerous the first Chaos is, right?"

"I can't even admit it's regrettable. If Sister G.o.ddess of Battle hadn't taken it away from Brother Jin in the first place, he would have killed Brother Jin!"

"I know, I know. But, Chaos is valuable as a subject of research. The enemies Brother Jin dealt with outside also use Chaos's power, and we can study the G.o.d of Battle Fusion only with that Chaos."

"Everyone."

When Jin spoke, the Legends stopped talking.

"First of all, my problem isn't completely resolved yet. I've regained my strength, but..."

Jin rolled up his sleeves.

"There are still black spots here. It seems his strength has weakened, so they're milder."

"Then, if you kill him, they'll disappear completely. Just to tell you, we can't directly enter Chaos's subs.p.a.ce, but getting rid of the gate is a piece of cake."

"He gave me many chances, for some reason."

The eyes of the Legends widened.

Whether because Chaos felt lonely or because his only pleasure was playing with me like a toy. He can still kill me anyway, but he has spared my life many times. So I would like to give him a chance."

"No, Brother Jin! Since when have you become so merciful?"

"It's not just for that reason. As Brother Boras said, it's worth studying him. Apart from the G.o.d of Battle Fusion, we might find something from him that could be useful when we face Chaos in the future."

The brothers, who had fiercely opposed until now, nodded helplessly as Jin made his decision.

"Of course, if he shows any sign of resistance, I'll eliminate him immediately."

"If that's Brother Jin's decision, then we have no choice but to follow him."

"Well, it's not something that doesn't make sense."

"I'll focus on recovery over the next two days and re-enter through the gate in the best possible condition. Whatever form it takes, the final decision will be made then, so be patient."

During the next two days, Jin was able to rest properly after a long time.

And he gave the others, who had been working hard, a chance to rest, but during that time, Vahn would often go alone to the empty training field.

Vahn was seen sitting quietly in front of the gate leading to the subs.p.a.ce, as if listening to Chaos.

"Can you hear inside Chaos? Sister G.o.ddess of Battle."

Vahn, she, shook her head and answered:

"No, I can't hear it because there's no rift created by you, Brother Jin."

She had an incredibly bitter expression. She too seemed to be hoping that Jin would kill Chaos.
