"Hahaha!"
"For Brother Jin!"
"For you!"
Just an hour ago, the Tribe of Legends, who had been talking as if Jin were to die immediately, were still drinking excitedly.
Apart from that, they were exaggerating their excitement considering Jin's feelings, but Jin was anxious and curious, so he didn't know where the alcohol was going to end up.
"Brother Jin."
It was the first time Vahn had spoken since the banquet began.
"Well, now you decide to talk. Sister Vahn. Please, give me the chance to speak."
As Jin spoke with a slightly hurt tone, Vahn smiled.Should I say it's like looking at an adorable little brother? Although she was worried about him, she welcomed the lively atmosphere of Laprarosa, which had come after a long time.
Like all the other siblings.
Jin wasn't very upset either.
"I needed some time to sort out my thoughts. How to purify your chaos, brother."
The noisy voices stopped. All the members of the Tribe of Legends lowered their cups and fixed their gaze on Jin and Vahn.
Jin recalled what his siblings had said.
The Tribe of Legends is basically immune to Chaos, but that doesn't apply to the "first Chaos."
"It seems I'm not the first brother tainted by Chaos. I don't know what the term 'First Chaos' means."
"I mean the Chaos originated by The Witch. Did you say it's now called Heluram?"
"Yes, Joshua Runcandel, whom the summoned brother Garmund once faced. Since I left Lafrarosa the last time, I've found a clue that the Prophet behind him might be Heluram. I found a recording device that belonged to Heluram when killing the demon in his villa."
"First, tell me what you've been through. I'll explain it to you after I've heard everything."
"It will take me a whole night to talk about everything."
The brother's eyes shone brightly.
The brother didn't know a single thing about everything Jin had experienced since leaving Lafrarosa the last time.
Becoming the Flagbearer of the Family, finding the Tombs of Temar, acquiring the legacy left by the ancient Runcandel, meeting Valeria, discovering the truth of the Fairies, gaining influence, causing Joshua's downfall, facing the Chaos King, obtaining the artifacts left by Lokia, and much more...
All in just two years.
Jin had lived adventures far beyond his siblings' expectations.
Jin's story didn't end until noon the next day.
"Wow... It's almost like hearing a legend or a myth."
"That's right. The Fourth Battle King Sister and Brother Shaku were directly involved in the brother Jin's life story, right?"
"This Garmund has been summoned before!"
"Damn it, I envy you! I wanted to be chosen too!"
"That... The Brother Shaku and I don't remember anything at all. Don't be so envious..."
"You should fix that expression that says you're going to die of pride, before saying something like that, Fourth Battle King Sister."
Jin smiled as he saw his siblings' reaction, whom they called the true legendary combat race.
"By the way, the name of the Demon that Fourth Battle King Sister said we found. Didn't she say Orgal, the Demon Beast King?"
"If Fourth Battle King Sister warned Brother Jin that he was a dangerous guy, we should remember... but it's the first time I've heard that name."
"In those days, there weren't many impressive demons that we remembered."
"The strongest was the one associated with The Witch, wasn't it?"
"Then, that person is probably Orgal, the Demon Beast King, brothers. The reason why all of you don't remember him is because Zipple manipulated the history."
"Hmph, I can't believe humans manipulate history. It's not just about writing history according to the conqueror's taste, but manipulating it as if it were just correcting a text..."
"If you listen to Brother Jin's words, although the combat power of those Zipples is insignificant, their authority has already reached the realm of the gods. He said that Zipple even reproduced the Origin Orb."
"The role of that human Record Magician seems crucial. The outside world is in a state where even the truth that someone knew clearly can be modified at any time."
The Tribe of Legends knew exactly what the Origin Orb was.
It was the power of the Gods that caused their destruction.
On the other hand, they were almost oblivious to Zipple's manipulation of history.
This was because there was no overlap between the activities of the Tribe of Legends and Zipple.
The people of the Tribe of Legends had exchanged some information with Temar, who arrived as a successor a thousand years ago, and had heard from him stories about Zipple.
However, it was limited, and the last appearance of Temar that Vahn remembered was not very intact.
"Brothers, I've forgotten a very important thing. Come on, focus."
Like cats watching a moving toy, the Legends all turned their heads at once.
"The space-time device I mentioned earlier. I think that object could be the key to returning you to the outside world."
Clang!
Upon hearing those words, several members of the Tribe of Legends dropped their glasses to the ground.
There were also those who gasped in surprise, and even Vahn's eyes widened.
"I've already recruited an engineer, who is probably the greatest genius in history, and the Record Magician who will restore the records of the space-time device. And I will free you thanks to their abilities, by all means."
Initially, until Jin came to Lafrarosa as the successor of the Shadow Sword.
The Tribe of Legends had never expected the day would come when they could escape from this dead world.
That's why, during Jin's first training, they consciously avoided talking about the outside world.
Talking about the land they could never return to would only make the punishment even harsher.
However, some members of the Tribe of Legends still dreamed of going outside.
One of them was the Goddess of Battle Vahn, and that's why she transfused her blood to Jin. She thought her brothers could be saved through Jin.
Now not only Vahn, but everyone believed the same. Right now, Jin declared he would do it.
"The outside world... just hearing it sounds fantastic."
"Kahaha, the era of our Tribe of Legends is coming again!"
"The enemies of Brother Jin are our enemies! The moment we are freed, they are doomed!"
"The problem is..."
Jin rolled up his sleeves, revealing the dark stain of Chaos on his wrist.
Then, the faces of the Legends, who were so excited, suddenly became thoughtful.
"This."
"First Chaos. Wow, I almost forgot..."
"If anything were to happen to Brother Jin, wouldn't the space-time device and everything else mean nothing?"
"If something bad happened to Brother Jin, the rest of my brothers will continue to work to free the brothers, but I prefer to be there. To begin with, I am the only one who can enter Lafrarosa directly."
Jin met Vahn's eyes.
"Sister Vahn. Unlike other brothers who say I must die or change in some strange way, it seems you believe purification is possible enough."
Vahn nodded.
"Brothers, fortunately, the Chaos that enveloped Brother Jin didn't leave him alone with The Witch. It has a similar form, but according to Brother Jin's explanation... the fragment of the Origin Orb and the power of the Gods mixed, so it can't be called a perfect First Chaos."
"Oh. Are you saying it's just a little of the mixed First Chaos?"
"Yes. It's a power that shouldn't exist in the world, but if it remained, it would have been a very small amount."
"Then, during the purification process, the chances of Brother Jin going mad or losing his intelligence and becoming a monster will be low. If he's unlucky, he might turn into an insect."
"He could change his sex or become a hermaphrodite."
They were all horrible just to hear.
Only then did Jin know why the brothers were like that, what they looked like, and why they talked about it.
It seems there are other types of demonic transformation besides turning into a monster.
The mistakes of the Gods, the Chaos caused by the Origin Orb, only destroy the ego of the invading target and turn it into a monster.
As the name implies, Heluram's 'First Chaos' had the strange power to completely disorder the essence of the target.
Until the results were known, it wouldn't be known if the target would become a monster or a small creature.
And the Chaos surrounding Jin was, as Vahn said, a mixture of the Chaos of the Gods and Heluram.
"The White Stone that sealed the fragment of the Origin Orb. The Witch probably had it before it belonged to the Hairan Clan. At that time, Gliek must have had the Witch's First Chaos."
If the Chaos invading Jin were only Gliek's, Vahn wouldn't have worried about him.
Although Jin was human, it was because he had the Light Heart and the Blood of the Goddess of Battle.
As long as she kept training him, Jin could become immune to Chaos like his other brothers. From all kinds of Chaos except the first chaos.
'Then, Mother and Kelliak? And the others who were infected with Chaos at that time...!'
As Jin was about to come up with such an idea, Vahn continued her explanation.
"Brother Jin. I think, in the battle with Gliek, only the brother was infected by the First Chaos. If an ordinary human who doesn't have my blood, like Brother Jin, were swallowed by the First Chaos, the result should have already come out."
Heluram's Chaos made it impossible for even the Legends to resist.
"Listening to this, it seems lucky, but I don't understand why only I was exposed to the Witch's chaos."
"It must be because the witch hates Solderet. Because Solderet himself completely sealed the Witch's First Chaos. Brother Jin, you were infected with the original Chaos that the Witch left before being sealed. The fact that the brother arrived safely in Lafrarosa means that, fortunately, the Witch's Chaos that affected you is much weaker than we remembered."
This was a story Jin had never imagined.
Naturally, he had only recognized it as Gliek's chaos.
"...After all, purification means certainly exist. It would be good to start as soon as possible."
"I need some time to prepare. In the meantime, the other brothers will confirm the achievements that Brother Jin achieved outside."
