Swordmaster's Youngest Son Chapter 658

Chapter 658

Chapter 658

Jin's eyes widened in surprise.

"Elder Sister... Luntia?"

Jin could not have imagined encountering Luntia here instead of Valeria.

The excitement he had felt at finally finding Valeria's trail turned into an unpleasant anxiety, like rancid oil.

"Why are you here, Elder Sister?"

Luntia's beloved sword, Charles, gleamed with black chaos.

Jin could only stare at his second sister like someone who had lost his mind for a few seconds.

Luntia also looked at Jin in silence for a while.

On the other hand, Luntia clearly recognized Jin's emotions.

[It doesn't seem you like the fact that I appeared before you at this moment.]

Jin repeated Luntia's words and involuntarily lowered his head.

A very strange and terrible pain, which Jin had never experienced in his entire life, gnawed at him from within.

The pain of losing a family member.

That was exactly the kind of pain.

Jin had already expected that Luntia would be stained by chaos.

However, Jin hoped that chaos would not completely invade her.

Raising his head again, Jin observed the black horn on his sister's forehead.

She had already crossed a river of no return.

"I trusted you, Elder Sister."

[Was there ever that level of trust between you and me?]

Luntia had never been close to any of her siblings.

She believed that only Luna gave meaning to her life.

Winning against her sister in a compet.i.tion, or even losing and following her for the rest of her life, was all she wanted.

That was why, when Luna voluntarily relinquished her position as the next patriarch at the age of nineteen, Luntia's world became an existence without meaning or color.

It was in the year 1799 when Luntia felt fire in her heart again.

It was the same day Jin made the declaration of patriarchy.

What happened between Jin and Luntia at that moment was far from an act of brotherly love.

They fought with their lives on the line until one of them fell.

Moreover, the two did not have a long conversation after the incident.

I will also become patriarch.I thought there were only fools, but there is one for real. Let's do our best, Elder Sister.That was all, but Jin felt that at that moment a deep bond had formed between him and Luntia.

They had lived as strangers all their lives, but with just one fight, Jin felt they had become siblings with the same dream.

Luntia felt the same way.

That was why, before going to Lafrarosa for the third time, Jin believed that Luntia would keep the Prophet at bay.

"Did Rosa and the Prophet find your weakness?"

It was impossible for Luntia to accept chaos voluntarily.

Jin was convinced that Rosa and the Prophet's tricks had defeated her.

In response to his words, Luntia smiled like a crescent moon and tightly grasped her horns.

[What difference would it make if I said yes?]

"There must be something I can help you with."

[Jaja... are you really the Twelfth Flagbearer I knew? You are talking nonsense. Wake up, Jin Runcandel. My younger brother. I am here as your enemy.]

Luntia slowly raised Charles and pointed at Jin.

[This means your only task is to fight me. I have been waiting for this moment for a long time, the moment when I can fight you again.]

Luntia's black eyes, difficult to read at all times, harbored a glint of bloodl.u.s.t.

The madness of the demon's heart.

Though she seemed capable of conversing, Luntia was completely consumed by chaos.

Her deep and intense hatred was already piercing Jin with the tip of Charles.

Jin decided to control his emotions.

He could not fight an opponent while overwhelmed by sadness, pain, or any feeling of guilt.

It was an inevitable fight.

Therefore, the right thing to do was to end it as quickly as possible, even for Luntia's sake.

To save Valeria, who might have suffered from Luntia's attack.

Slowly, Jin's eyes became firm.

Luntia nodded as if satisfied with Jin's determination.

[Yes, that's right. But, younger brother, you... you seem quite tired.]

Claang-!

Suddenly, Luntia drew her sword, and Jin stepped back.

At the time of the patriarchal declaration, it was a thrust that put Jin in mortal danger from the first strike.

Luntia's sword had reached a much higher level of illumination than then.

[However, you have mysteriously become strong again. Thanks to you, my boring fate will be a little more enjoyable. The first time I fought you, I also had many limitations. I think it was the price of that time you reached me while exhausted.]

Despite being stained by chaos, Luntia had not lost her transcendent and indomitable dignity, like figures such as Stam, Padler, or Rosa.

The initial impression was that Luntia was pus.h.i.+ng Jin.

Her sword left cracks and sharp traces in the dark s.p.a.ce, surrounding Jin with them.

She is strong...

Even stronger than Lionel Runcandel.

In some aspects, she was even harder to deal with than when Lionel and Stam cooperated.

It was because she "ruled" this subs.p.a.ce beyond the size and level of her power.

The trajectory of Charles's attack was not straight.

Every time Charles moved, the dark s.p.a.ce twisted and turned following a random pattern, following Luntia's will and constantly changing its trajectory.

It seemed like he was dealing with the entire subs.p.a.ce, not Luntia, and Jin quickly realized this fact.

That was why I didn't feel the Shadow Energy guiding me when I first entered this place, unlike other tombs.

Because Elder Sister Luntia had already taken control of the entire tomb.

Drops of blood flowed from four or five open wounds.

Like Jin, he only suffered that amount of wounds while understanding the characteristics of Luntia and the dark s.p.a.ce.

A blue energy ray shot out from Sigmund and pierced the chaos sword.

And the two unleashed the clan's secret technique at the same time.

The Fifth Secret Technique, Light Speed Thrust, empowered with lightning energy, chaos, and each individual skill.

When they extended their swords, it seemed like they were going to pierce each other's chests.

However, they had both antic.i.p.ated each other's swords and were stepping back to their respective sides accordingly.

The entire subs.p.a.ce split in half.

The two swords, extending and pa.s.sing each other, struck the void at the edge of the subs.p.a.ce.

Luntia looked at that edge for a moment, while Jin did not.

[Do you remember? The first day I faced your lightning energy, I protected countless knights from you. I continue to fulfill my role of protecting the Family from you.]

"...How did you enter here?"

[Isn't it obvious?]

"I know the Prophet played some trick, but this s.p.a.ce was originally prepared for me. It's hard to understand why Solderet's subs.p.a.ce treats you as its owner."

[It's as you say. However, I think there are other things you're very curious about.]

"Histor, after defeating you, Elder Sister, I will look for her myself."

[You suspect the red-haired woman is still alive.]

"You do not have perfect control over this s.p.a.ce, Elder Sister Luntia. Didn't you know that Histor's magic was still present in the subs.p.a.ce?"

At those words, Luntia squinted her eyes.

[Oh, that's quite interesting if it's true. If there is still magic present, it means the caster is still alive somewhere. I knew the woman was hiding somewhere in this place. I was sure she was already dead.]

"Is it because you inflicted significant damage on Histor, Elder Sister?"

Luntia nodded.

[That's right. If that woman were still alive, it would probably be the result of accepting Chaos. She wouldn't have survived if she didn't have exceptional healing abilities.]

Jin did not react sensitively to those words.

"That won't happen, Elder Sister. If that were the case, the magic I saw should have already been contaminated with chaos energy. Anyway, thanks to you, I am even more convinced that Histor is still alive."

[Now all that's left is to defeat me and save that woman?]

Saying this, Luntia showed her displeasure for the first time.

[You and Elder Sister Luna always think that way. You always believe you can defeat your opponents and take what you want, no matter the situation.]

"It has always been that way. This time will be no different."

The subs.p.a.ce began to vibrate in response to Luntia's anger.

Jin could not know if her sudden outburst was simply madness or if there was another reason behind it.

Jin decided to regain his composure.

Luntia's words did not hurt him.

Because none of those words had been spoken by the "real Luntia Runcandel."

Even Ron Hairan had resented Jin in the abyss of Gliek.

"Soon I will stop the madness that enveloped you."

The aura acc.u.mulated in Jin's Light Heart.

Prolonging the battle is disadvantageous.

Firstly, Jin started the battle exhausted, while Luntia was in perfect condition.

Furthermore, she is using the entire subs.p.a.ce as her own energy, and even if she gets hurt, she seems to recover immediately thanks to the chaos energy.

Jin needed to end her with a single strike if possible.

'I have to consider the combat situation after leaving the subs.p.a.ce... But it's better to rely on Zipple and Kinzelo in that regard.'

If Jin tried clumsily to conserve his strength, he would not be able to avoid serious injuries.

[Trying to unleash the sword of the day you made the declaration, are you...?]

"But unlike back then, this time you have nothing to protect, Elder Sister."

However, just like before, you would not be able to receive this sword.

While Jin continued his words and began to unleash his sword, Luntia smiled in satisfaction.
