"What... do you exactly mean by restoring everything to its original state?"
The Garden of Swords from Jin's memories and the Garden of Swords now before him.
The only thing both had in common were the thousands of swords stuck in the middle of the garden.
All visible Knights were engulfed in Chaos without exception, and particularly Rosa was in a state that not even the Chaos purification device brought from Lafrarosa could handle.
There was a black horn on Rosa's forehead.
She didn't seem to have any intention of hiding it, and even if she did, it seemed impossible to conceal.
Furthermore, the buildings were just the same as before.
From the moment Jin arrived at the Garden of Swords.
No, from the moment he entered Kalon, he felt a strong Chaos energy hidden throughout the city.Ha...
Jin sighed and rubbed his forehead.
"...Are you saying you can turn back time? Or does Ilina Runcandel, who is by your side, no, the Prophet, have some other method?"
"I cannot restore something that has already happened. However, if you fulfill your promise, I will immediately make you Patriarch, and from now on, Runcandel will trust you to survive, not the Prophet."
I will appoint you Patriarch.
The words Jin had longed to hear in his previous life pounded in his head.
Of course, he was not at all happy.
To the point of feeling nauseous with the disgusting sensation of insects crawling in his head.
"Haha......."
Unconsciously, a bitter laugh escaped his lips.
"Since when are you in a position to appoint a Patriarch? Cyron Runcandel, the Patriarch of Runcandel, the owner of Barisada, and my father. All this, of course, must have been carried out without his consent. Under your own judgment."
Of course, Rosa hinted that she would make Jin Patriarch even before joining the Prophet.
However, Jin thought that Rosa would no longer interfere for him to become the next Patriarch, but he did not expect this kind of succession.
He could only inherit Barisada directly from Cyron.
"So, what is your answer? Have you obtained the means to save the Family from this confusion, or not?"
"Whatever I have obtained, you and your Runcandel cannot benefit from it."
"In that case... I have no other choice."
Except to kill you.
Rosa's eyes narrowed.
She had no intention of persuading Jin. Not because it wasn't worth it. Now that she had decided to kill Jin, she suppressed feelings of pain more intense than ever.
But she couldn't catch him. She knew her younger son was by no means a compromising person.
He had never yielded in any situation, and he had never collapsed, not even once...
Rosa knew better than anyone that such a bright youth was Jin Runcandel, her younger son.
"I will ask you one last question."
Rosa thought Jin would ask about Temar and Histor.
But even that exceeded Rosa's expectations.
"Was this really the best course of action?"
"Yes."
"Then there's no need for further conversation between us."
Jin's gaze fell on the Knights behind Rosa.
"What have the Knights of the Family done for the Garden of Swords to reach this state? Were they watching Rosa Runcandel conspire with Chaos?"
"Save me the sermon, Jin Runcandel. All you've done so far is ruin Runcandel's destiny. Furthermore, what about Cyron Runcandel? He was away from the Family all this time. What's the result? Have you and he found a way to save the Family?"
Jin paid no attention to Ilina, who spoke up for the first time.
"If it weren't for Rosa-nim's choice, Runcandel would have ended long before the irresponsible Cyron Runcandel and you returned. In a way, this also seems like fulfilling destiny, doesn't it? Ultimately, Runcandel has become much stronger compared to before..."
At that moment, a group of Knights appeared from afar from the main house.
They were the clandestine Knights.
They were all tired and weak, but thanks to Stam's consideration, they were armed with clean armors and swords.
A faint Chaos energy emanated from them.
However, unlike the others who were completely consumed, they showed signs of resistance.
'They are the ones... who resisted to preserve the values of the Family despite being consumed by Chaos.'
It's worth saving them all and going back. But that was impossible.
They knew it too.
That's why the Tona brothers shouted and told Jin.
"Jin, younger brother...! Don't mind us, do what you intend to do!"
"It's an honor to fight and possibly die fighting by your side as Runcandel...!"
The Tona brothers, who had tormented Jin so much in the past life and still showed a servile attitude towards the strong in this life, had become admirable Runcandels.
"Freeing them now is Rosa-nim's final consideration for you and for them. Decorate your end with the rebels, Jin Runcandel. Anyway, even if you die, your power will be used for the Runcandels, so it's not such a bad ending."
"Listen, knights of my Family."
Jin looked at the Knights rising from the underground. They were the only Family Knights.
"I salute you for your painful resistance. From now on, what you must do is survive at all costs. I will pave the way for you."
The Tona brothers and the Knights nodded solemnly.
"From now on, I declare Rosa Runcandel and those who follow her traitors, and as the Twelfth Flagbearer of the Family... I will execute them."
"From this moment on... I revoke your status as Flagbearer, Jin Runcandel."
Jin and Rosa said at the same time.
As if they had promised, all the Knights of the Garden, except for the two of them, drew their swords.
And everyone remembered an incident that happened in the Garden of Swords a few years ago.
-"I believe the meaning of the declaration I made today will only grow stronger if I get rid of the honored seat where my mother sits."
-[Everyone, open your eyes wide... See clearly what the true Runcandel is, what has protected Runcandel, and what the current Runcandel is forgetting]
Patriarch's declaration. A blue flame ignited in Jin's eyes.
Secret Technique Magic Sword Runcandel
Hellfire - Sarah Runcandel
In Jin's eyes, blue flames formed.
The will of the Flame Empress, who fought for the Family until the end and preserved Runcandel's valor for a thousand years even in death, vividly manifested through Jin.
Those tainted by Chaos had no choice but to cower before the blue flames.
The Chaos energy completely paralyzed them inside.
They were paralyzed until Jin unleashed the Hellfire.
And an enormous fear that couldn't be concealed even with Chaos energy, an overwhelmingly immense presence struck the rotten minds of the Knights.
"Stop him!"
When Miu and Anne stepped forward, the Chaos-tainted Knights followed suit.
Among them, there were also knights wearing black helmets.
Black Knight, a black helmet that was previously only given to the most honorable and strong Knights of Runcandel.
Roughly calculating, there were about fifty Knights with black helmets in the garden.
However, Jin didn't feel particularly threatened despite being surrounded by so many Black Knights.
Not everyone wearing black helmets were true Black Knights, and not everyone who reached ten stars became transcendent martial artists.
"You are nothing."
Hundreds of sharp swords rained down on Jin.
They could easily bring down a mountain in an instant.
No one, aside from giant forces, would be able to withstand the onslaught they unleashed in a matter of seconds.
Yet, their swords couldn't penetrate even the outermost part of the blue flame unleashed by Jin.
They disappeared without a trace before even touching the flames.
Jin had not only trained the Sword of Legends and the Shadow Blade in Lafrarosa.
Right now, he was also on the verge of completing the Magic Sword Runcandel.
Anyone who had seen Sarah Runcandel even once would have recognized that it was her who was here.
A fire that burns the entire world, a fire that fights until the end without being extinguished by any powerful enemy, was staring at the Chaos-tainted traitors.
Gaaaa...!
Tess, who had just been summoned, let out a roar.
It did not manifest with the risk of using Chaos as a medium, as in the war of the Sword Emperor Castle.
Tess was summoned purely through Jin's mana, and rather exuded an even stronger aura than before.
When Tess appeared, Jin once swung his sword towards the traitors.
Around a hundred Knights, including five who had become Black Knights by the power of Chaos, were burned, and their entire bodies melted and couldn't even scream.
However, even though the body melted, the Chaos core remained like that of a living golem.
The cores returned to the Prophet as if being sucked into a vortex.
Jin grabbed one of the Chaos cores dragging the Prophet.
The Chaos attempted to infest Jin's grip like a parasite, but when Jin clenched his fist, it simply burst.
For the first time, the Prophet showed a sign of hesitation.
"Is he immune to Chaos? Like the old Tribe of Legends..."
It was something the Prophet had never expected. There was a contrast between Jin shrouded in the flames of the old Runcandel and the Knights tainted by Chaos.
And as Jin said, Hellfire made its way among those released from underground.
"Ilina Runcandel."
"Yes, Rosa-nim."
"Show your skills. We must not allow that child to return alive from this place today."
At Rosa's command, Ilina bowed her head.
"Very well. Then, may I be allowed to open the Garden of Swords?"
"I allow it."
For the Prophet, it was nothing more than a stroke of luck.
By chance, if Rosa saw Jin and changed her decision by breaking the contract with her, she would have no choice but to wander her path for a long time.
"I will recreate the nightmare of that day, rotting ones. If it's not today, it will be tomorrow, and if it's not tomorrow, it will be whenever. In the end, none of you will survive."
At the moment Jin uttered those words, suddenly, the sun disappeared, and darkness enveloped the surroundings.
