"Wow, what are you saying, Sister Goddess of Battle?"
"That, the Fifth Battle King has completed the machine...."
Vahn didn't respond immediately but remained still for a few seconds.
Seeing her hair waving like fire, and her calm, deep eyes, the Battle Kings had no choice but to rise from their seats.
All the Legends quickly lined up and bowed their heads.
There's no hierarchy between the Battle Kings and ordinary warriors, but the Goddess of Battle Vahn is truly the absolute leader of the Tribe of Legends.
Jin watched them and took his place among the ordinary warriors.
Then, Tantel and Shaku pushed Jin a position forward, to the seat of the Battle Kings.
"Brother, stand in front!""I'm not a battle king, am I?"
"Hurry up."
And the same happened after standing next to the Battle Kings.
"Brother, stand next to Sister Goddess of Battle!"
"Next to Sister Goddess of Battle? Is that okay?"
"Brother Jin, you have succeeded Sigmund, you are the only successor of Sister Goddess of Battle. You have more rank than us."
Reluctantly, Jin stood beside Vahn. Then he opened her mouth as if the lineup was fine.
"You are becoming complacent, brothers."
"Sister Goddess of Battle, we are showing an ugly side. Please, teach us."
"Everyone seems to have forgotten."
Vahn pointing at Jin.
"Here, Brother Jin said he would take us out on the first day he visited Lafrarosa. So, what should we prepare, my brothers and I?"
"It's to become Brother Jin's strength."
"Yes."
Swoosh...!
Suddenly, the entire training ground resonated with Vahn's energy and began to tremble.
The Battle Kings felt their vision darken for a moment, and the ordinary warriors gritted their teeth not to collapse.
Jin was unaffected by her energy. This was because Vahn hadn't spread her energy in his direction.
"Our golden age has ended, and our glorious era also came to an end 5000 years ago."
Vahn's energy grew stronger as she spoke.
The more he did, the more the vibration shaking the training ground faded, but Vahn's energy was a calm storm.
Calm, Storm. As if completely opposite words were coming together, her energy contained a divine majesty.
"It's not that they can't withstand it because of the hierarchy. All my brothers... really feel the weight of the energy."
The strongest warriors Jin knows.
Jin wondered if this would be possible even for Quiron Runcandel, Ron Hairan, and Temar, whom Jin had experienced in the Great Mitra Desert, against no less than 12 Battle Kings and 64 ordinary warriors of the Tribe of Legends.
"This means that even though we can all go out, we will have no choice but to provide Brother Jin with a shameful and weak power compared to those days. Can we protect ourselves with just that?"
"I think this will be enough to sustain..."
Jin wanted to respond to that, but he remained silent.
Vahn released her energy.
The Tribe of Legends took a deep breath and shouted "no" at the same time.
"From now on, not only Brother Jin, but all the other brothers must practice and train with all their might. There must not be a single lazy brother in your former glory."
"We will keep this in mind, Sister Goddess of Battle!"
Excluding Jin from the warning wasn't because Vahn wanted to give him preferential treatment. It was because Jin was the only one who wanted to continue sparring and asked who was next.
"Sister Goddess of Battle."
When the Eleventh Battle King 'Nata' spoke, Vahn made eye contact with her.
"Speak."
"First of all, I'm sorry once again for showing a poor image. However, if we continue training like this, the other brothers may not know it, but Brother Jin may be a little in danger."
"Do the other brothers think the same?"
"Yes, Sister Goddess of Battle. It is true that we feel tired, but we are actually worried about Brother Jin's condition. If he keeps training like this..."
"Could he die?"
"That's right."
"It seems the brothers' hearts have become more lax than I thought, seeing them say something new again."
"I'm sorry."
"Training is something that can lead to death."
The Legends closed their mouths again as they saw Vahn speaking forcefully word by word.
Looking back, Goddess of Battle Vahn had no qualms about making Jin strong aggressively since he arrived in Lafrarosa.
She proceeded from blood transfusion to death with a certain degree of thought in mind.
Like many strong men, she believed that Jin could not achieve transcendence without risking his life.
First of all, the training of the Tribe of Legends was more radical and dangerous than that of any martial arts group that had ever existed in history.
The reason they reigned as conquerors of the human world was not only because they were born to fight.
"Baltirok, Rumora, Palem, Rinpa, Boras, Dalpir, Beliz, Garmund, Baba, Kaio, Nata, Teto. Fight again with Brother Jin from the beginning in the order they became Battle King. I will suppress him when he loses control, so those waiting their turn can warm up in pairs.
"Well, Sister Goddess of Battle? I guess I need to look at the device a little more..."
"Didn't you say it was finished?"
"The training will be intense, so I think I should wait to treat my brothers. I don't think there's anything special to use. There are 11 battle kings only if I leave, so if one of them spars with Brother Jin, wouldn't it be good for the other 10 to pair up?"
"Then let everyone except Brother Boras start training. Even the ordinary warriors form a group."
Boras chuckled and wished his brothers good luck.
-------------
Another four days passed.
Jin's consciousness comes and goes, like a flickering magic light, while the rest of the Tribe of Legends barely stands on their shaky legs and finds their opponents.
"This time, the Twelfth Battle King will go against me..."
"Huhhhhhhhhh"
"What are you spitting out, Sixth Battle King.......?"
"Hee, hee, it's a butterfly, a butterfly."
"Calm down, Sister Nata! That's not a butterfly, it's vomit."
Vahn and Boras watched the fallen Jin in such a deplorable state that it was hard to tell if it was training or torture.
"Brother Jin lost control less than 10 times in the last four days... If so, I think we can start slowly. What do you think, Sister Goddess of Battle?"
"I guess so. Brother Jin must be tired of the chaos gradually invading him, so get ready. Training over! Brothers, take a seat."
As if they were finally alive, the Legends took their seats, and Boras brought the Chaos Extraction Aid in front of Jin.
The machine looked like a column, but when Boras pressed a button, seams opened and things like chairs and belts came out.
Boras sat Jin, limp like seaweed, in a chair, and tied belts around his head.
As in training, it also looked like a scene of torture.
Then, Vahn placed her hand on Jin's Light Heart.
Then, the Light Heart spewed out a dazzling light like a waterfall, and Jin felt his mind clear in an instant.
"Whoa...."
"Come to your senses, Brother Jin."
"I thought it was the underworld, but fortunately, I'm still alive. Sister Goddess of Battle."
"From now on, I will remove the Chaos from my brother."
"How... Uh."
Swook-!
Suddenly, Vahn's hand plunged into Jin's heart. As Vahn had taken some measures, the Light Heart was as soft as mud.
'Crazy... By extraction, did she literally mean physically removing it? It's much worse than when Sister Yona briefly removed Chaos from Amela-nim.'
As if searching for something hidden in the barrel, Vahn squeezed her hand and caught the hidden chaos energy in Jin's Light Heart.
The feeling of having caught the chaos was very clear. And also the "Chaos is feeling" the fear.
"...As expected, it's not in good condition."
"Will the side effects be worse than what Sister Goddess of Battle thought?"
"I hope not."
Thud!
Vahn's energy-stained grip remained somewhere on the chaos as if she were subduing a beast by grabbing it by the neck.
And just as Jin was about to ask something else.
[Kii......!]
Vahn began to withdraw her hand from the heart, and immediately a scream of chaos was heard.
'Demon God Orb, it sounds like Gliek's voice. I never thought I would hear this horrible sound here again.'
If the brothers hadn't been nearby, Jin would have felt overwhelmed by great pressure as soon as he heard the screams.
The incident at the Sword Emperor Castle was Jin's worst nightmare.
However, at that time, the Demon God Orb and Gliek terrorized everyone with just their voices, but now it was the opposite.
[Kii, Keek!]
The Chaos screams were filled with a sense of urgency more than dignity, almost to the point of sounding like a plea for help.
[Kiii, Keee!]
Finally, the part that seemed to be the "head" of Chaos protruded from the heart. Its head was unattractively wrinkled by Vahn's grip, and its eyes constantly rolled. He didn't even dare to make eye contact with Vahn.
"Come out quietly... if you want to disappear with less pain."
Surprisingly, Chaos stopped rattling from then on.
Instead, he showed an attitude of complete submission to Vahn, enduring the pain with tightly closed eyes.
Just like Amela's Chaos feared Yona.
Finally, when more than half of the Chaos came out, Jin was first surprised by how gigantic it was....
He couldn't help but be surprised by the fact that it wasn't just Chaos coming out of his body.
Strength.
The strength Jin had accumulated throughout his life as a magic swordsman was also mixed with Chaos.
"Sister Vahn! My strength is mixed with chaos...!".
Vahn, she, nodded as if she knew it, and completely extracted the Chaos.
Kudk!
Vahn pulled it out as if she were digging up sweet potato roots, but the thrown Chaos had a body almost as big as Murakan's. Its shape was similar to that of a Dragon.
And as soon as it came out, it fell face down in front of Vahn, letting her know that it had no intention of fighting.
[Kiiii.......]
"Oh, fortunately it was extracted at once. Fortunately, it seems to have almost no side effects, so once Sister Goddess of Battle subdues it..."
"It seems you didn't listen to Brother Jin because you were playing with the device. The side effect is loss, Fifth Battle King."
Losing Strength, Boras touched his forehead as soon as he heard Vahn's words.
"Loss? Isn't loss the mind, the invasion, or the transformation?"
"Yes."
"This."
Even in the midst of the conversation, chaos continued to look around.
"So Sister Vahn can't take care of that for Brother Jin..."
Vahn met Jin's eyes.
"Brother Jin will have to fight for himself from now on."
"...It took all my strength, Sister Goddess of Battle."
"That's why only Brother Jin should handle it. If I take care of it instead, Brother's energy will inevitably disappear along with it. Brother Jin has to fight and reclaim it."
At those words, Chaos immediately understood the situation and smiled.
Immediately he realized that Vahn's "weakness" is Jin.
