Chapter 473: Chapter 472

‘Huh……’

‘What is happening…?’

Myuron and Midor had to endure an unfamiliar sensation, as if something were escaping from their bodies, a sensation akin to the soul or spirit escaping the body.

It was utterly surreal.

The battleship just destroyed in one breath, no. No, to call it “destroyed” was an understatement. What kind of battleship could have been reduced to mere “dust” in just one breath?

It was a mass-produced battleship modeled after Kozec, Zipfel’s ultimate weapon, nicknamed as “the power that can destroy the world”.

Although it was a mass-produced battleship, even the developers of Kozec affirmed that this battleship has more than 50% of the Kozec’s maximum performance. It wasn’t something that could be easily manufactured en masse.

In other words, it was a battleship that should never have been destroyed so vainly.  ‘Kozec-2 Myuron’ was a battleship created to dominate the world.

Thud, crash, snap…!

Now, the debris of that battleship was raining down.

Moments ago, it was a downpour of black awls, and now it was a shower of shattered fragments of the battleship. The countless broken pieces of the battleship stained the air black like a swarm of insects.

In reality, if Myuron and the passengers had been fully prepared from the beginning and had been able to activate their protection shields as soon as they appeared, the ship wouldn’t have been demolished to such an extent.

‘My, my…battleship……! My Kozec-2 Myuron!’

It was smashed to pieces.

The bluish eyes of the battered Myuron were tinged with a faint red.

Did the battleship just break?

The ship was completely obliterated, but that wasn’t all. The fragments falling like rain contained not only the battleship’s materials but also the flesh and bones of the hundreds of mages who had been aboard.

Kozec-2 Myuron and its mages were making their ‘resurrected’ debut today. But their debut match was against the very Jin and Murakan who had killed Myuron.

There couldn’t be a better debut stage than this, but the results were so devastating!

[What? Are you crying? Is that bastard really crying right now?]

Murakan raised one eyebrow and narrowed his eyes.

The distance between Murakan and Myuron was considerable, and the debris obscured his vision, but it seemed like there were glistening tears at the corners of Myuron’s eyes.

“Elder brother! Elder brother Myuron!”

Midor desperately called out to Myuron in a hoarse voice.

Thanks to that, the already collapsed dignity and atmosphere became even more ridiculous, but it was not the time to be ashamed of such things.

“Elder Brother, you have to hold on to your reasons, Elder brother Myuron!”

[Ah.]

[Ha, show me something before you lose your mind. Especially you! You died and came back to life, so shouldn’t you do something to entertain Lord Murakan?]

Murakan snorted, as if finding Midor’s words absurd.

And Vigo and the knights of Runcandel were once again misunderstanding the situation.

It was because they did not know that the performance of the Kozec-2 myuron was inferior to that of the original.

It’s a matter of course. Kozec-2 Myuron and the cube that summoned it had just been unveiled to the world for the first time.

‘What! He destroyed Kozec with one breath?’

‘Kozec?’

‘No, that battleship was bigger than Kozec. Who in the world can destroy Kozec like this.….my father is the only one who is capable of such a feat.’

The members of Vermont were also thinking the same thing as Runcandels.

In retrospect to common sense, it was impossible to destroy a battleship of Kozec’s caliber in one breath. Unless it’s the world’s only genesis knight, Chiron Runcandel.

Rumors of Murakan’s battle prowess were taking this ridiculously huge step.

[Ha, that. He didn’t seem like a person who’d sob and wail like that back then. Isn’t that right, kid.]

Jin didn’t answer, but fixed his eyes on Myuron, Midor, and the cube he was holding.

It wasn’t that he didn’t answer, it was that he couldn’t. Unlike Murakan, and just like all other factions. Jin was also speechless.

However, it was not because of Murakan’s battle prowess like other factions.

There were facts that everyone was overlooking due to the shocking sight of a battleship being destroyed with a single breath.

First, the resurrection.

Myuron was resurrected in a way without using Numerus’ tears.

‘Myuron’s resurrection must be thanks to the power of the Demon God’s orb, just like Sandra’s regenerative power. I kept feeling uneasy because we couldn’t secure Myuron’s corpse due to Zipfel’s reinforcement at Colon.’

The resurrection of Myuron was possible after the production of the ‘New Demon God’s orb’.

Luna had destroyed Zipfel’s first Demon god’s orb when Myuron’s corpse was first recovered by Zipfel. The very Demon’s God’s orb that Andrei Zipfel had.

-Zipfel would have promised you eternal life, the ultimate power, or something like that. And you must have witnessed the evidence of it with your own eyes.

-I think it’s probably the Demon god’s orb. I myself have seen the dead resurrected and gained tremendous power by that strange object. It was a miraculous power that anyone would covet.

-By the way, Sir Barton, you know what? I’ve already experienced the Demon God’s orb being shattered by Runcandel’s sword. Even my father knew of the existence of the object. So don’t dream of anything. The death you face today is complete. Resurrection, eternal life, such vain things won’t happen.

Jin suddenly recalled the words he said to Barton Vicena during the mission to assassinate the black knight.

In fact, the resurrection itself was not so surprising. It was because he had already experienced how Demon God’s orb saved Vyuretta while fighting Andrei when he was a reserve flagbearer.

What really surprised Jin was the existence of the ‘cube’ rather than resurrection.

‘What the hell is that cube?’

It didn’t seem like a Demon God’s orb. It was unlikely that Zipfels would give Midor such an important item. And it looked completely different from what Andrei had.

‘It can be said that it has been improved and has a different shape, but it does not have that creepy feeling at all. Above all, Murakan doesn’t seem to be reacting much to that object either.’

The Demon God’s orb arouses instinctive fear in dragons. Murakan showed immunity when fighting Andrei, but Cuicantelle was unable to fight as soon as she saw the Demon God’s orb.

In that case, the answer was simple: “Advanced technology, a new weapon of war.”

The operating principles of the solid cube were unknown, but its intended use was very clear: summoning.

‘It’s a kind of transfer gate. It is incomparably smaller than current transfer gates and has greater performance. Perhaps it’s an item so remarkable that it exceeds my imagination and guesses.’

None of the transfer gates currently in use could accommodate this amount of people at once. Even more so, it was impossible to move a giant battleship.

His heart began to race suddenly.

Before his eyes was a sample that symbolizes the world’s number one, and Runcandel’s greatest enemy’s ‘best unseen technology’.

‘Maybe the fact that Joshua and the top flagbearer of other factions went to a place other than the Gaifa Islands might have something to do with that technology.’

If Jin could have it, it could have been a greater harvest than Amela (who became a potential ally).

[He keeps whining. Ugh, it’s annoying to look at. Just stop and die, it’s getting on my nerves.]

Whoo-!

Murakan gathered his breath again, intent on killing Myuron, Midor, and the remaining mages.

“Stop, Murakan!”

[Ahem!]

Murakan, who was about to exhale his breath, coughed suddenly and shut his throat.

[Ahem, why all of sudden?]

Jin was already rushing to Midor with a glint in his eyes.

“Shit, damn it!”

Midor screamed and shot a spatial explosion to prevent Jin from coming closer.

However, the spatial explosion could not easily penetrate Multa’s runes and shadow force armor. The Jin that Midor met in Colon and the Jin now were completely different beings.

Midor also worked relentlessly to become stronger for revenge, but their vessels and willpower were fundamentally different. It was an insurmountable gap.

“I never forgot the pain you caused me in Colon,  Midor Elner.”

Sak!

Bradamante drew a diagonal trajectory. A quicksword against which even martial artists who reached 9-stars could not react leisurely, so a mage like Midor could only flinch once.

He had been blocking Murakan’s attacks all the way, causing his mana to run dry. He couldn’t raise his protective shield properly, and he couldn’t muster any counterattacks.

The elder brother he trusted was in a panic, muttering to himself even though the enemy just passed him and swung his sword at his younger brother. Midor is completely worn-out.

Fit-! A fountain of blood gushed out.

Midor’s right arm was severed, and blood gushed from his chest. A cube with an eerie bluish glow was floating in the midst of the droplets of red.

Ice-attribute mana enveloped the cube.

‘There must be a security measure in place, prepared for data leaks.’

It was as expected. Just as Vermont’s Majin’s oxidized without leaving a trace.

In the case of the cube, it was designed to explode. It sensed the imminent threat and was ready to detonate to protect the sensitive information it contained.

Hmm!

Jin planted Bradamante in the ground for a moment, he used his two hands to grasp the cube. He used his frost seal to envelop the cube, attempting to allow the explosion but maintaining its overall shape.

There was a roar in his hands and in front of his chest. It was an intense explosion, as if all of his fingers and chest bones were shattered even though he had a blessed strong body and shadow force armor.

When Jin finally released his grip, the cube was shattered and in disarray, but most of its components remained intact.

‘With this level of damage, it can be analyzed sufficiently with the help of the best researchers in the world.’

Satisfied, he involuntarily smiled.

Midor, on the other hand, was agitated, and he glared at Jin as his hair stood on end.

“Myuron, you damn bastard! How can you call yourself a Zipfel with that kind of incompetence! It’s a pity that I’ve lived all these years coughing up so much blood to avenge you!”

Chuck!

Midor raised the staff in his left hand, a magic tower master’s staff with rune characters that emitted light to call the reinforcement, and pointed it at Jin.

“You wanted to kill me, right? Fine, Jin Runcandel. Do it. But my revenge won’t end today.”

Midor thought that Jin had made a ‘mistake’.

Driven by his desire to obtain a sample of the cube, he failed to anticipate the activation of the Magic Tower Master’s Staff.

But the reason Midor was able to activate it was because Jin had intentionally left his left arm.

“It seems that you, Zipfels, take death too lightly because of the high-speed regeneration and resurrection. But, Midor Elnor, do you really think I did something stupid?”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Jin said as he strode towards Midor.

“I don’t know if you have more of these cubes, but isn’t it too slow to call the main force with that staff? By the time they arrive, I’ll probably be home, taking a warm bath and having dinner.”

“If it weren’t for Talaris that day, you…!”

“If you ever appear in front of me again, I will take it as proof that Zipfel can resurrect without a body. So let’s not meet again, Midor Elnor.”

Snick!

Jin beheaded Midor as he spoke.
