Swordmaster's Youngest Son Novel - Chapter 867
## Chapter 867
***
“…How can they be so foolish despite experiencing death once? It’s my fault. I should have sent them to Peitel’s hideout, not just those five.”
Sanna, the Sun Priestess, was filled with remorse after confirming the fate of the priests who had gone to capture Peitel.
What she saw through her prayers showed that their actions were completely foolish. Tujad’s actions among them were particularly shocking; he even gave up the immortality of himself and other priests.
«But those five were enough to capture Peitel. They just handled the variable wrong.»
The priest beside her shook his head and said. He was also a powerful man from antiquity who had been resurrected, a member of the Legend Tribe.
«However, my brethren also failed to contain Sheenu in the past, so I can’t underestimate them too much.»
«Sheenu can’t be compared to gods like Peitel. Even during Sheenu’s time, my judgment was wrong. If I had sent Priest Luke to capture Sheenu earlier, we might not have lost this opportunity.»
The priest’s name was Luke, and he was once revered as the God of Battle of the Legend Tribe. As Sheenu had mentioned to Jin before, members of the Legend Tribe were also included in the ranks of the priests of the Sun God religion.
«You’ve been blaming yourself a lot lately, Priestess. You seem to be in a hurry.»
«The future I’ve confirmed through my prayers keeps deviating. The return of powerful individuals like the white whale to Runcandel during this period is truly unexpected.»
«It must be because of Cyron, that man keeps transcending his destiny. Because of him, the predestined futures are constantly diverging.»
«Yes, and Peitel’s power that passed on to Jin Runcandel is also part of that chain reaction. And how that will unfold…»
Sanna was experiencing frustration every day recently.
Her goal was the resurrection of the Sun God.
To achieve that, both the surface world and the underworld needed to suffer significant destruction or damage at the right time.
Moreover, the faster it happened, the better. Given the current state of the world, that didn’t seem likely.
A fierce battle was expected. Additionally, Elona, who was expected to destroy everything upon awakening from her seal, was acting like a docile lamp.
«As the number of variables increases, the time when our priests can operate within the human world speeds up.»
«That’s correct. Once the transfer of the True Demon World is complete, the manifestation of Priest Luke and the other priests will become easier.»
For Sanna, this was a somewhat comforting point. Regardless of how the war between the underworld and the surface unfolds, Sanna had plans to use the priests to align the direction of the war that the Sun God religion desired.
Given the power the priests possessed, they were capable of having such an impact.
«The Vamel Alliance, the Lutero Magical Federation, Kinzelo, the Red Legend Tribe, and the True Demon World… I wonder which one of them we’ll fight first.»
«We’ll probably face the faction that gains an advantage first. Right now, I don’t know because the answer to my prayers has become blurry, but in my opinion, the True Demon World is the most likely contender.»
«Maybe, but I think the Vamel Alliance will eventually become the biggest obstacle to the resurrection of the Sun God.»
«Is it because of Cyron Runcandel?»
«No, Jin Runcandel. He became the King of Battle of the Legend Tribe in a human body and became the successor to the current God of Battle. Moreover, he possesses Solderet’s power… If he survived this war, everyone, including us, would have no choice but to look up to him.»
«It’s surprising that Priest Luke has evaluated him so highly.»
«Of course, we must ensure that doesn’t happen. Until then, it’s better that we focus on capturing Sheenu and awakening more of my brethren.»
«I believe so too. If Zipple completes the Demon God Orb as soon as possible, we can take it.»
The moment Sanna responded, Luke looked at her with surprise.
«Ah, Priestess. Did you feel it?»
«What do you mean?»
«Just now, somewhere in the human world… an existence similar to mine has awakened. Its energy is subtly different from our Legend Tribe, so I don’t think they’re Jin Runcandel’s brethren.»
With a sly smile, Luke continued with his words.
«The Blue Legend Tribe… They were the ancestors of our Legend Tribe, among whom there was a being known as the God of Battle.»

Nilot, the ancient city of the Blue Legend Tribe in the intermediate world.
Airan Vermont observed Eltiot, who had just emerged from the life support device.
«Eltiot, do you recognize me?»
«You are… Airan. The one who saved me. The one who saved me and my brethren…»
A satisfied smile spread across Airan’s lips.
Neither Airan nor the imperial family had saved Eltiot and the Blue Legend Tribe. They lacked the power back then. The imperial family simply rescued the bodies of Eltiot and the Blue Legend Tribe from the seals.
They used the members of the Blue Legend Tribe in trade with the Red Legend Tribe and were also used in research and experiments for the Living Demon Men Golems.
For a long time, they had been constantly implanting hints to the sealed Eltiot. They were insinuating that the Imperial Family was the one who saved the nearly extinct Blue Legend Tribe from the Great Seal.
Moreover, there was also the implication that the imperial family’s enemies were enemies of the Blue Legend Tribe.
«Yes, that’s correct. Unfortunately, I was only able to save your brethren in limited numbers. But seeing you awake even now puts my mind at ease.»
«…Why is it that the smell of the reds who should be torn apart and killed lingers stronger than that of my brethren? I can even smell the stench of the insignificant demons.»
In response, Airan smiled inwardly once more.
What pleased him was the fact that Eltiot, although he had lost his memories, still possessed the terrible power he had back then. Just like Elona Zipple.
«Many more years have passed than you can imagine, Eltiot. And now it’s an era where the Red Legend Tribe and demons are dominant. Rise, let’s meet your brethren. Come, I’ll explain everything to you in due time.»
Eltiot took Airan’s outstretched hand with a bewildered look.

December 30th, 1803.
During this time, Runcandel had been dealing with the dimensional fractures and focusing its efforts on completing the Golden Ship.
«It’s going to happen tonight.»
The Ayula Manifestation Festival will be completed tonight, and it was also tonight when the Vamel Alliance would obtain its first Golden Ship. All of this news was expected to reach them tonight.
«And is it today that the transfer of the True Demon World begins?»
Currently, there were about fifty fractures that had formed in Hufester.
The efforts of individuals like Jin, Luna, and Luntia, who could eliminate these fractures, were crucial. It was fortunate that they had managed to clear the fractures in the most important regions like Siatello.
«Your Majesty, has the evacuation of the fracture zones been perfectly completed?»
«Yes, young master Jin. Not only the people; even the livestock and pets they were raising have been relocated. There isn’t a single living being left. Miss Valeria’s magic records throughout the region confirm it.»
As the Nameless and the Seven-Colored Peacock reported, the Lutero Magical Federation still had several times more dimensional fractures remaining compared to the Vamel Alliance.
«It’s fortunate.»
«If the remaining fractures in Zipple don’t become communication gates between them and the True Demon World, we can carry out the war with an advantage.»
If Zipple couldn’t join the True Demon World, it would be the worst-case scenario for them.
The Federation is already waging war against the Red Legend Tribe, but if the True Demon World is added, then it would be difficult even for Zipple.
«If Zipple joins the True Demon World, it will definitely be because of Sanna.»
Jin thought about the priests of the Sun God Religion, particularly the priests who made Sheenu suffer.
«Sheenu mentioned that there’s an ancestor of the Legend Tribe among the priests of the Sun God Religion, and he seemed to be the God of Battle. It’s unlikely that the group of Tujad we encountered this time would be enough to corner a god like Sheenu. It’s likely that there’s some truth to the Legend Tribe’s involvement.»
He felt uneasy that the former members of the Legend Tribe who had become priests of the Sun God Religion were emerging into the world before their brethren who were confined in Laprarosa.
«The priest of the Sun God Religion, who is presumed to be the God of Battle, and Elona Zipple. If the True Demon World forms an alliance with them, led by Sanna, with their skills, the power of the Demon God Orb… If they form a loose alliance with Zipple, it could completely change the situation. We’ll be at a disadvantage.»
In that sense, securing Peitel this time was truly fortunate. If they hadn’t found him, the first Golden Ship wouldn’t have been completed even after years.
«I think it’s time to visit the Holy Kingdom. Murakan and I will go.»
Despite the many dimensional fractures outside the Holy Kingdom, Jin needed to directly confirm Ayula’s manifestation and encourage the believers in the Holy Kingdom as the leader of the Vamel Alliance.
«Please, young master. If there are any problems with the fractures, I will immediately request communication to the Holy Kingdom.»
Jin and Murakan departed for the Holy Kingdom using the Red Owl.
As anticipated, the transfer of the True Demon World began that night.
{[The King, demons, and buildings of the True Demon World are starting to appear through the fractures of Hufester.]}
At 10 PM, Lueth called Tikan. The flagbearers and knights of Runcandel were already heading to various fractures.
«I will inform young master Jin immediately and send the superhumans of Tikan.»
{[Send the superhumans of Tikan to the Empire, not Hufester. A new fracture suddenly appeared near the former capital of the Empire, and demons are being summoned from it.]}
The Empire had also evacuated all civilians from the fracture zones, but the problem was the sudden appearance of a new fracture.
{[Soon, the acting master of the Hidden Palace and Mort…]}
Just as Lueth was about to finish, a new call came from the Empire.
Not from Hairan’s Second Castle, but from the ‘Golden Ship’.
{Kwahaha! Don’t worry too much about the Empire!}
«Doctor Qwaul…?»
{Peitel and I just arrived at Hairan’s Second Castle with the Golden Ship. All checks are complete, and the Golden Ship’s condition is perfect. I’ve already turned the thousand demons that emerged from the fracture into dust with a single cannon shot. So when the acting master of the Hidden Palace arrives, tell him to go to the other side, not the former capital. The former capital will be guarded by the Sword Emperor and us!}
Most of the demons that emerged from the fractures near the former capital of the Empire faced death without even getting a chance to witness the scenery of the human world that they were so curious about.
