Swordmaster's Youngest Son Novel - Chapter 852

Chapter 852

Gliek, Kial, Seu, Nirgand, Morganiel.

The Five Black Sea Kings.

Cyron’s expedition team finally engaged in battle with ‘Seu’ after Kial.

It had been almost four years since the last battle with Kial, and now they were facing another Black Sea King.

The reason why there had been not a single casualty in the expedition team until now was solely because of a person named Cyron Runcandel.

And Cyron had no intention of letting his daughter and the Knights die this time either.

Moreover, the legendary monster Ozdock, who had now officially become a member of Runcandel, was also present.

«Vanessa, start retreating and protect Ozdock. He won’t be able to withstand the consequences from now on.»

It had been two days since the start of the battle with Seu.

Although Ozdock had left the battlefield and retreated far back to the rear as soon as he encountered Seu, Cyron anticipated that the impact of the battle would reach there.

«Understood, patriarch-nim.»

«Luna, do you think you can hold out for longer?»

«I’m perfectly fine, father.»

«You’ve grown a lot.»

«Who wouldn’t grow up living here?»

Even in the midst of a life-or-death battle against Seu.

Cyron’s expedition team had a completely different atmosphere than before.

The pupils of the Knights, who used to die in chaos, were now full of vitality and vigor, like before they entered the Black Sea.

And Cyron’s enthusiasm for ‘enjoying’ the fight was evident.

In other words, it wasn’t as dark and gloomy as before.

It was a completely different atmosphere from when they thought their only future was to die or become monsters while exploring the Black Sea.

Behind all of this was Cyron’s enlightenment.

Cyron had freed himself from the demonic transformation right before the battle with Seu began.

When Vanessa left the battlefield, Luna and the Black Knights reorganized behind Cyron.

[Cyron… How can you be so well? After all, you must have been suffering from demonization after killing my brother, Kial.]

Seu couldn’t understand.

The Five Black Sea Kings had always been sure that Cyron would eventually become the same kind of existence as them.

Cyron would strip the will of the gods who had overthrown the Five Black Sea Kings, and eventually, the Black Sea Kings would become a complete being.

The power he possessed was something that should never be possessed by humans.

«It tormented me for a long time. There were countless times when I almost became the same existence as you.»

[To overcome all those times… What in the world could have made you do that? The will to transcend fate is like a consumable. Both immortals and mortals can’t achieve permanent transcendence. You’ve probably already exhausted all the will you had…]

«Permanent transcendence, I’m not sure about that yet. My life isn’t infinite, so when that runs out, won’t my will also fall into slumber? However, you won’t have the chance to witness that.»

Seu, you will perish here today.

Cyron laughed slightly, his words fading behind him.

His dignified and imposing appearance showed no trace of chaos.

«The only thing that can stop me is death. But there’s no being left in this world who can kill me.»

[Cyron, you…!]

Seu could only seethe with anger.

When facing Cyron, it was impossible not to believe those words.

Now, he had no choice but to acknowledge the arrogance that claimed nothing could kill him.

Seu could only watch.

The first mortal to overcome demonization, holding a sword pointed at him.

Just looking at him tore and cut his entire being, tearing his inner self apart.

When Kial was killed.

The Black Sea Kings interpreted it as Cyron taking one more step towards unification.

Kial’s disappearance was painful, but Cyron had absorbed all the chaos he possessed.

In the end, Cyron would become the same existence as them, carrying all of Kial’s chaos and becoming one with them.

‘How could this have happened… Brothers, now Cyron Runcandel has become… a being who will annihilate us, not a being who will unite us again…!’

Seu was accepting the fact that it was a miscalculation.

From the beginning, Cyron wasn’t an incomplete existence like them, divided into five.

He was an imposing monster who was alone.

The moment Barisada moved, Seu emitted massive chaos to hinder Cyron’s approach.

Seu had a form similar to that of a hound with a single eye, but that massive body instantly disappeared in the chaos, as if it had been swallowed.

The Black Knights and Luna couldn’t follow Seu’s movement.

Just as you can’t locate a whale, even if it’s huge, while it’s swimming at the bottom of the sea.

However, Cyron erased the chaos that had enveloped him, Luna, and the Knights in an instant, revealing the space where Seu was trying to hide.

«I told you that you would perish in this place today.»

Cyron’s will turned into words, and those words became an inevitable verdict.

Barisada was precisely piercing the center of Seu’s eye.

The eye had immediately healed, but Seu trembled upon realizing that the chaotic energy that composed him had already decreased by almost 10 percent.

No matter how transcendent a Genesis Knight’s power was, it couldn’t eliminate the chaos of the Five Black Sea Kings at such a rapid pace.

As far as Seu knew, only three beings could perform such a feat.

The Witch Heluram, the God who created the gods.

And his greatest fragment, Morganiel.

[Does that mean there’s a realm beyond the Genesis Knight…?]

«My sword is the same as before. I can handle it with a clear mind now that the demonization has disappeared.»

Thud!

Seu’s neck fell to the ground.

Luna and the Black Knights helped Cyron by cutting the chaos that was trying to reconnect the neck and body.

Among the expedition team, Cyron was still the only one capable of landing an essential and fatal blow on the Black Sea Kings.

However, Luna’s Blood Moon could also execute a power similar to the strength of a Genesis Knight.

«Keep the Crimson Sword Technique in reserve, Luna. Until you reach a level like mine, the number of times you can use that sword technique is limited.»

Luna understood Cyron’s words as advice to prepare for other Black Sea Kings in the future.

At this moment, there was no need for her to exhaust herself to help her father.

«Understood, father.»

With each blow of Cyron’s sword, Seu’s chaos was tearing apart like torn paper.

If Vanessa hadn’t been sent ahead, Ozdock would have surely perished under the consequences.

While Cyron was in the midst of killing Seu, he suddenly remembered Ozdock’s foolish behavior and laughed.

By this time, that scoundrel would have probably clung to Vanessa, screaming something like ‘Oh my God!’

‘The youngest sent me such a treasure… Ozdock. If it weren’t for his frivolous and insignificant nature, I might have completely lost my humanity before encountering Seu.’

The battle continued.

Seu only offered futile resistance, and Cyron constantly pressed Seu, although unilaterally and decisively.

Occasionally, small and large wounds appeared on Cyron’s body.

However, unlike in Kial’s case, the chaos didn’t seep into those wounds like poison.

The skin tore, the red blood flowed; it was no different from being wounded by an ordinary weapon wielded by an ordinary being.

There were no deep wounds that broke bones, or damaged muscles or organs.

Literally, Cyron was overwhelming Seu.

Luna and the Black Knights also had some scratches, because Seu was cornered to the point that he couldn’t pay attention to anyone else but Cyron.

Thunk!

Cyron plunged Barisada into Seu’s fallen eye once again.

The once huge Seu had now transformed into a figure similar to Cyron.

More than 90% of the chaos that composed Seu had disappeared into Barisada.

[How in the world… How… can this be? What made you overcome your demonization, Cyron…?]

Hearing those words, Cyron pondered for a moment.

«If I had to choose a reason…»

[…You say you’re going to choose? Don’t tell me you yourself don’t know the reason?]

Just as Seu said, Cyron didn’t know exactly why his demonization had suddenly disappeared.

Only a vague notion of several possibilities came to his mind.

«Perhaps it’s because I wanted to see how the youngest had grown. And maybe I’m a little curious about my other children whom I couldn’t show affection to. How my Family is doing now.»

[That’s insane… How could such trivial things be reasons that explain your current state? Just those things?]

«Hahaha, maybe it’s something else then.»

[Cyrooooon!]

With a final cry of resentment, Seu’s voice stopped reaching them.

Cyron looked at Seu disintegrating into particles and clicked his tongue.

«It seems you were a weaker fragment than Kial. Now, all that’s left is Nirgand and Morganiel, I suppose. You’ve all done well.»

Luna and the Black Knights bowed their heads.

Cyron briefly enjoyed the slightly brighter view of the Black Sea after Seu’s death.

Then, unexpectedly, he turned around with a smile as if something good had happened.

It was towards Vanessa and Ozdock’s side.

«Father?»

«Well… It seems that the potential and fighting spirit I expected from your youth have finally borne fruit. You’ve wandered the realm of the sword for a long time.»

«Father, I’m not sure what you’re saying.»

«A good guy has come to visit me.»

For a while, Luna and the Black Knights couldn’t understand what he meant.

Who in the world could come to this deepest and most terrible land?

A good guy.

Naturally, those words didn’t refer to Vanessa and Ozdock.

Cyron could now feel the aura of another Runcandel, who had just encountered Vanessa and Ozdock.

«Could it be… Is the youngest here!?»

Cyron didn’t answer, keeping his gaze steady.

Luna and the Black Knights also silently watched in the direction Cyron was looking.

The good guy mentioned by Cyron was now running towards him like crazy.

Cyron didn’t approach him or call his name.

That would undermine the fight he had gone through alone in this place.

Finally, the one who had managed to walk unsteadily in front of Cyron knelt on one knee.

Luna and the Black Knights couldn’t close their mouths, wide open in astonishment, since they saw him.

«Pant, pant… Greetings, patriarch-nim.»

Cyron leaned over and helped him get up, and said.

«You’ve been through a lot to get here, Zed. You finally manage to impress me, even if only once.»
