Swordmaster's Youngest Son Novel - Chapter 864
## Chapter 864
As soon as Tujad implanted the orb into his body, the subspace stage began to change.
The storm intensified even further, and the lightning bolts became even denser. From the wounds on Tujad’s body, it wasn’t blood but lightning energy that flowed out.
This annoyed Jin.
‘So, Gram’s energy, was it something that could be used?’
Jin had come to search for Peitel without considering using Gram’s energy. He had only just realized that Gram’s energy existed in a usable form, because he hadn’t heard the conversation between Murakan and Peitel due to his confrontation with Tujad.
That’s why he was annoyed. In a situation where any element that could help even a little with the Golden Fleet and the liberation of Laprarosa was regrettable, seeing Tujad using it now was frustrating.
Kaiman, Trax, Lujin, and Chin looked at Tujad with desperate faces.
[If you want to finish it, you have to finish it alone. What kind of nonsense is this?]
[I wish we could have recovered Gram’s energy and left, why are you making things worse, Tujad? You were entrusted with full authority because you were the strongest among us, and it was assumed that you also had that kind of judgment…!]
Even Trax, known as a madman, couldn’t understand Tujad’s choice and shouted in frustration.
[It’s the first time I’ve used the power of a god. However, I don’t think using this power will help me defeat you. However, it’s worth it just to have more time to enjoy this pleasure.]
Tujad was truly a person with genuine madness. He didn’t care about victory or defeat in a fight; he was simply the kind of human who found joy in fighting.
«Are you really going to give up the promise of eternal life, which those guys are chanting over there, just to enjoy pleasure, even when you’re convinced you can’t win?»
[Have you never had such an experience? Doing something knowing you’ll lose, entering a fight even though you know you’ll die.]
Of course, Jin had experienced such things several times.
However, he didn’t do it for personal pleasure. He had always made those decisions to defend his beliefs and for the people who were behind him.
«Well, people have different thoughts and values. But it’s not very pleasant to see someone prioritize their own enjoyment even while pushing their allies into a corner. Besides harming the things I need.»
Jin’s eyes narrowed. The bloodlust emanating from him made the ghosts’ skin tingle.
«Elder Sister Luna, Elder Sister Luntia.»
«What should we do?»
«Quickly take care of the guys you’re responsible for and join me. I think they’ve enjoyed the old swords enough.»
Luna and Luntia nodded. Mana infused into Charles and the axe-sword along with the aura.
[Hey, Murakan, shouldn’t you intervene too? Gram’s energy is not easy to handle. Aren’t you being too relaxed?]
Murakan chuckled at Peitel’s worried words.
«If Gram himself were here, he could have done the same. But simply being strengthened by residual energy means nothing.»
It means nothing.
As Murakan said, Jin and the flagbearers truly thought so.
If Tujad had broken his own wall and achieved enlightenment in the midst of battle, there might have been a reason to be nervous. However, simply having enhanced strength was not threatening at all.
Still, Jin told the flagbearers to finish quickly and join him; it was to restrict Tujad’s pleasure as much as possible.
-Squeal-!
Krantel cut off Trax’s right arm and left a flash. Kaiman and Trax were in an even more difficult situation due to the Gram lightning energy emanating from Tujad.
«Trax, I wanted to give you a little more pain. The crime of daring to harm the children of Runcandel will not be erased in two hundred years, not even in two thousand. But since you won’t get eternal life, you’ll continue to suffer somewhere after today anyway.»
[Damn.]
Damn, Trax couldn’t utter another word and dropped his head. Luna, after finishing off Kaiman, wiped the blood off Krantel.
Similarly, Lujin and Chin no longer had the strength to resist Luntia.
A few times before, they had exchanged blows with Luntia and tried to counterattack, but even that had no impact. Even the martial artists called the wall of Kurano and the Master of the Fist, legends in their own right, couldn’t even leave a scratch on Luntia’s robust body.
«If you had been born in a good time and died raising your name, that would have been satisfying. I don’t know if it’s good to come back to life only to witness such misfortune. I don’t have any ill feelings, but not backing down when our young patriarch gave you the first chance is an offense to Runcandel. The price for that is just death.»
Luntia cut off Lujin and Chin’s breath with Charle’s blade.
All that remained was Tujad, enhanced by Gram’s energy. Jin was already putting pressure on Tujad with the God of Battle sword techniques.
‘Tujad doesn’t know how to use lightning energy at all, but the destructive power is amazing. It would be great if we could recover the orb and harness this energy.’
With Luna and Luntia joining, Tujad’s desired scenario was inevitably crumbling.
He had wanted to face Jin one-on-one, rather than being overwhelmed by Sigmund, Krantel, and Charles all at once.
Seeing the three overpower Tujad, Peitel was surprised again.
[…Surely, my brother’s energy has strengthened that bug to its limits. Can this really happen?]
«First of all, even if that little punk were alone, he could have defeated a guy like Tujad in 10 minutes. Even the patriarch of the Attila clan, whom I killed a while ago, was still a man with some dignity, but this guy is just childish. Talking about pleasure and whatnot. He’ll get what he deserves.»
Jin wasn’t even using trump cards like the Sword of the Reign of Legends or the Secret Magic Sword Technique.
It was because the opponent wasn’t worth showing such a sword. The fierce landscape of subspace, as if the thunder god had descended, and Tujad, whose appearance had transformed like a member of the Legend Tribe due to Gram’s energy, all seemed pitiful in front of Jin and the flagbearers.
Tujad had given up even eternal life for the sake of enjoying the fight.
Jin, Luna, and Luntia, the three of them, had emotionless expressions, focused solely on their «duty.» Therefore, the battle with Tujad was more dominated by Luna and Luntia than by Jin.
It was the flagbearers’ duty to obey the young patriarch’s order.
[Khh…!]
Finally, before even five minutes had passed, Luna and Luntia had completely subjugated Tujad, and he was kneeling before Jin.
There was no longer any trace of the madness of someone intoxicated by pleasure on Tujad’s face. He was not filled with regret either, but rather had a look of deep disappointment at the results that were far meager than expected.
«Now, leave the name of ‘God of Battle’ and you can disappear however you want.»
As Jin extended his hand towards the orb embedded in Tujad’s chest, Tujad looked at him.
[…It seems you need Gram’s energy.]
«Yes.»
[This device has already been completely assimilated with me. Forcibly removing it will cause its destruction.]
«Is there any way to remove it without causing damage?»
[If you make a promise with me, I myself will release the assimilation and hand it over to you.]
«What do you want?»
[Promise me in honor of the young patriarch of Runcandel. Promise that if I give you this orb, you will fight me one-on-one, seriously and sincerely. That’s enough for me.]
«You really are a superior with an interesting mind.»
For Jin, it was a proposal he had to accept.
He couldn’t fully trust Tujad, but fighting him one-on-one wasn’t too difficult a task, so he felt it was worth trying.
Of course, he felt uncomfortable. He couldn’t shake the feeling of being used for Tujad’s pleasure.
However, just as Jin was about to nod, Peitel quickly ran to Jin’s side and stood beside him.
[Hmm, Jin! You don’t need to listen to that bug’s words.]
«Peitel?»
[I can recover the objects that contain my elder brother’s energy. First of all, I can imitate my elder brother’s energy, which is why I was able to hide here. I will properly recover it and give it to you.]
Peitel was changing his mind as he watched Jin’s group fight.
Initially, he thought it was unfair to promise Jin using the seal, but after thinking it over, this was a situation where the gourd had rolled towards the vines.
‘Anyway, I have to fulfill the promise because of the seal. However, if I end up out of his favor, I’ll be in a difficult situation with nowhere to go. If I don’t get help from the Runcandel and Vamel alliance, I won’t be able to avoid extinction since Zipple is after me.’
As a god, Peitel’s reputation had already been shattered when he was defeated on the Blue Bird Islands while Jin was a reserve flagbearer. To be protected by Jin in the future, Peitel concluded that he needed to show that he was still useful.
[Peitel, what the hell are you saying, bastard…!]
[What is this bug saying? Did you think I would believe that nonsense about your ability to control my elder brother’s power? Do you dare to deceive the commander-in-chief of our Vamel Alliance?]
«…Our Vamel Alliance?»
[Isn’t it natural since Yulian and Caltor were part of the Vamel Alliance? Didn’t I automatically become a member when they entered? If not, let me know the formal procedure. I will diligently carry it out. From now on, I have decided to side with you. If you forget the old grudges and accept my help, that is.]
Yulian and Caltor could only lower their heads in shame for some reason.
Jin understood Peitel’s intentions and smiled.
«You thought well, Peitel. No, Sir Peitel. From now on, Sir Peitel is an official member of the alliance. Let’s leave the past behind. How do you plan to extract Gram’s energy?»
[Suppress that bug for about an hour like that, and then I can safely recover it. I don’t even need Zipple’s ugly device. I’ll make a container right now and put it there. You know the Harmilla Thunder Bow, right? Compared to creating such a weapon, it’s a simple task.]
[Shut up, Peitel! Why are you suddenly interfering and ruining things?]
[So I would be doing a favor to a bug like you, after you almost killed me? It’s only right for me, who was saved by our commander-in-chief, to help him wholeheartedly. Shut your mouth and stay still. After I’ve extracted all of my elder brother’s energy, our commander-in-chief will surely kill you.]
When Jin accepted Peitel’s opinion, Tujad finally lost his composure and screamed. However, due to Luna and Luntia’s grip, he couldn’t even move.
Soon, Peitel sat in front of Tujad and gave Jin a chuckle and a thumbs-up.
[From what I’ve heard, it seems you need my ability to materialize authority. I’ll try to do anything you need from now on. You can trust me, commander-in-chief! And Murakan, Luna, Luntia, and other bugs… No, friends.]
The meeting with the god, once filled with animosity, concluded in a good relationship.
