Swordmaster's Youngest Son Novel - Chapter 862
## Chapter 862
«What? Help him?»
«Yes, Sir Murakan. He was definitely saying that… ugh.»
Yulian staggered and grabbed his head. The sudden connection with Peitel was affecting his body.
«Caltor, don’t you hear any voices… eh, it seems strange.»
«Ugggh, m-m-my head hurts.»
Caltor was in the same state. He was even more affected by the connection with Peitel than Yulian.
This unexpected situation left the group momentarily lost in thought.
«What’s going on? Peitel is urgently communicating and asking for help as soon as we arrive. Could it be that Peitel is fighting with someone nearby? But I don’t feel any presence.»
Even if he wasn’t near Island 32, if there was a battle intense enough for Peitel to be cornered, the group wouldn’t be able to overlook it, whether it was near the Blue Bird Islands or anywhere else.
«Argh.»
“Oh, what a mess!”
Yulian and Caltor’s convulsions continued.
«Hey, you two. Snap out of it. Eh?»
«Sir, Pe, Peitel, is in the middle, of a battle!»
«What? In battle? Wait, where is he fighting?»
«Murakan, fly and observe the islands.»
Murakan transformed into his true form and soared into the sky. But no matter how much he opened his eyes and searched, he couldn’t find any sign of a fight.
[As expected, I don’t see anything, boy.]
«Even in the record window, there’s no mention of an ongoing battle, Jin.»
Finally, Jin came to a conclusion.
«Hmm, then there are two possibilities. One is that Peitel tried to communicate through the lingering energy of Gram that remains here. The battle could be taking place in a different area. The second is subspace.»
Bang, bang!
Suddenly, Murakan landed on the ground and hit Yulian and Caltor on the back.
«¡Ouch!»
«¡Ugh!»
«Murakan, what are you doing?»
«You hit me like that whenever I lose my head. So, I thought they would recover too.»
«Yulian and Caltor aren’t as strong as you. Especially Caltor, who’s recovering and in a weak state. Is there really a way for a method like that to work…?»
«Ugh, gasp.»
As their faces turned pale, Yulian and Caltor regained their senses and looked at their comrades.
«It’s subspace, Sir Jin. The tomb of the Thunder God Gram… Sir Peitel is fighting there!»
Yulian shouted. While connecting with Peitel, he and Caltor had received information about his situation. Peitel had been hiding inside Gram’s tomb, that is, inside subspace. Why he had been hiding there was something they would have to find out from now on.
«How do we get in?»
«Sir Peitel is struggling to open the entrance, but it seems difficult. However, right before Sir Murakan cut off our connection, he suddenly asked for you, Sir Jin.»
«Me?»
«Yes, Sir Jin, you possess the weapon that serves as the key to the tomb…»
“It seems like a pretty serious situation, but I guess he managed to remember the possibility of you becoming a member of our alliance.”
«It seems so.»
The rune pattern of Sigmund was still glowing.
«How am I supposed to use my sword?»
«Sir Peitel will try to communicate with you shortly and explain it to you.»
As promised, Jin soon heard Peitel’s voice.
[Hey, hey! Jin Runcandel…! Can you hear me?]
The rest of the group was experiencing the same thing. Peitel’s voice wasn’t echoing in Jin’s mind or head, but coming from the blade of Sigmund. Along with Gram’s pattern, Peitel’s pattern was also emerging inside the sword.
[Hey, can you hear me? Answer quickly!]
Peitel’s urgent voice continued. Jin smiled.
It was a very familiar situation.
A situation where you can extract anything from someone who desperately needs help. Even if the opponent was a god, there were no exceptions.
«I can hear you. But, who said you could inhabit Sigmund without my permission? Are you trying to imitate Gram’s essence and infuse yourself? Either way, it’s quite unpleasant.»
Jin deliberately lowered his voice as he responded. Luna and Luntia shook their heads internally at their younger brother’s mischievous side that they hadn’t seen in a long time.
[Help me a little!]
«Why should I? I don’t have many pleasant memories related to you, you know.»
[Y-Yulian is your subordinate, right?!]
«Well, I don’t have much affection for him, so let’s say he’s a comrade like a subordinate. But why?»
[Then you better help me, because if I perish here, Yulian will be reduced to an ordinary human with no special abilities!]
«What if I refuse?»
[Please! I’m talking about actually disappearing here!]
«No, no. Your attitude to begging isn’t quite right. If you really want my help, then swear in this place as a god. Promise to dedicate yourself to the Vamel Alliance for anything after surviving with my help.»
From the beginning, Jin’s group had come to seek Peitel for this very purpose. They intended to uncover the clues to the Golden Fleet and the Laprarosa Liberation Project using this unfortunate god’s abilities.
Knowing Peitel’s nature well, Jin had assembled his group from the beginning based on the assumption of violence and intimidation. Now was the optimal time to obtain Peitel’s promise.
[Fine, I promise!]
«Empty promises have no meaning. Show me a means of absolute trust like Sheenu’s fire seal. If you do that, I will immediately help you with all my strength. Just so you know, there are three knights about to become first swords, including me, and Murakan, who has mostly regained his peak strength, here. There’s also the Histor Magician.»
[Aaaargh! I can’t use top-tier skills like Sheenu!]
«In that case, there’s nothing we can do. We’ll leave now, so find a way to survive on your own.»
Just as Jin pretended to leave, letters appeared on the blade of Sigmund.
<I, Peitel, swear to keep the promise with Jin Runcandel.>
It was the Storm Seal. While it was surely inferior to the Fire Seal in quality, it still contained absolute trust.
«Wow, this guy. Even in such a desperate situation, he tried to trick us. It would have been better if you had come out like this from the beginning, avoiding unnecessary formalities.»
«Your request has been acknowledged, God of the Storm. How can we help you?»
[Now! I’ll open the door through the sword, so hurry up and enter the tomb!]
«Yes, we’re ready. Please open it.»
Just as Jin responded, a blue lightning bolt fell from Sigmund. It was the energy of Peitel and Gram’s lightning, it had a slightly different color than the Legend Tribe’s.
The energy soon opened a circular dimensional portal. Beyond it was a landscape filled with storms and lightning.
As soon as the group entered, they saw Peitel’s figure, in a humanoid form, and the unidentified figures who were pressing him.
‘About five of them? All unfamiliar faces, but somehow they feel somewhat familiar.’
Jin took his place in front of Peitel and observed the enemies.
Peitel was clearly cornered so far. His body was covered in wounds and he was breathing heavily. In contrast, the enemies were all in good condition.
[…What is this?]
[Peitel, you managed to call for reinforcements.]
[Is that person Jin Runcandel? And his guardian dragon Murakan… the white whale and Luntia, it seems. I haven’t heard of any connection between Runcandel and Peitel.]
The enemies recognized Jin and his team immediately. Jin continued to ponder why they felt strangely familiar. Luna and Luntia were in a similar situation.
‘Oh, could it be?’
-It seems you had a big fight before coming here. You smell the same as the young dragon Pyre. The smell of blood and ash, the smell of war. I’m worried if your domain, the Land of Fire, has been attacked.
-[Haha, impressive observation.]
-No matter how much you try to hide it with your divine majesty, it’s useless. To my eyes, you look like a patient who has suffered significant injuries.
-[I see it clearly now. Just a moment ago, I eliminated the intruders who invaded my domain.]
A conversation Jin had with Sheenu when he manifested in Tikan.
At that time, Sheenu had referred to the intruders of his territory as «priests of the Sun God’s religious sect.»
-[The priests of the Sun God religion are mainly composed of deceased warriors who were once recognized.]
-So, they are resurrected strong ancient warriors. How tiresome.
-[They are all driven by obsession and grudges. They became priests attracted by the promise that they could get what they desired once the Sun God resurrects.]
Jin realized why the enemies he had never seen before seemed familiar.
They were all legendary figures that Jin and the others had read about in history books.
«Spear King Kaiman Euron, Mad Dog Trax Kungen, Wall of Kurano Lujin Typhen, Fist Master Chin Meyer, God of Battle Tujad Attila… It’s an honor to meet you, sirs, I’m Jin Runcandel, the young patriarch of the Runcandel clan.»
Euron, Kungen, Typhen, Meyer, Attila. The five families had indirect relationships with most of Jin’s group.
They are all clans that had been exterminated by the Runcandels in the past. The tomes of these clans were still preserved in Storm Castle.
[We are not pleased to see you. Your ancestors killed us.]
«Unfortunately, that’s the way of the martial world, isn’t it? I don’t know about the other sirs… but don’t you dare look me in the eye, Kungen. You and your people caused the downfall of your clan 200 years ago, when you attacked Storm Castle and killed the children of Runcandel.»
Trax Kungen, the patriarch of the Kungen clan at the time, was the mastermind behind the murder 200 years ago. Trax responded to Jin’s words with fierce hostility.
«I won’t waste words. I need to take Peitel, so, sirs, you should leave immediately. Whether it’s Sanna’s order or Beradin’s order, I don’t know, but if they tell you that you’ve met me, my sisters, and Murakan, they will surely understand why they retreated.»
In response to those words, Tujad Attila raised his sword towards Jin. Among the priests of the Sun God’s religious sect present, Attila was the leader.
[You talk too much. The Runcandels I’ve known weren’t like this. Come.]
Jin shrugged and met Tujad’s gaze.
«That’s right, it was quite irritating to know that your nickname was «God of Battle.» I’ve only known one God of Battle, so I guess I’ll have to show you what that title means today.»
