"No, what is this all of a sudden? But more importantly, doesn't it bother anyone that the main hall is floating out of nowhere?"
There was no more time to think.
Jin and Vahn's Light Hearts resonated, activating the God of Battle Fusion. Right after, a spear flew before Jin's eyes.
It was Teto's spear.
'Damn it, I'm late...! No, are you waiting calmly?'
It was clear that he would have seen his blood. Or, he suffered an internal injury while pushing him away.
But now Jin couldn't see the blue blade of the spear flying towards his face so slowly.
To the point where it took effort to overcome it!
That's why Elder Sister Goddess of Battle said to rest enough to perform the God of Battle Fusion before coming to the main hall.'As soon as the initial battle began, everyone really showed their bloodlust. It's because it doesn't make sense to have a sloppy fighting spirit against Elder Sister Goddess of Battle.'
Jin didn't even have to unsheathe his sword.
'Well, I wanted to use Elder Sister Goddess of Battle's power in actual combat at least once.'
Jin extended his fist towards the spear blade almost at the speed of light.
From Teto's perspective, he couldn't even perceive the moment Jin moved.
Bang!
The blow containing the aura of the Twelfth Battle King and a human's fist clashed, but the one pushed back was Teto.
No, he wasn't just pushed back.
"Ugh!"
Teto, spitting blood, was sent flying away from the main hall. It was as if he was flung away like an arrow or fragments when a rock shatters.
As soon as Teto flew out, all sorts of weapons appeared in Jin's clear vision.
Swords, spears, bows, and even a mysterious net suitable for capturing giant monsters.
The fact that everything had come so far with a sense of 'safety' made Jin feel excitement unconsciously.
'It was really that powerful...!'
It's a fact that Jin has long known that Vahn's techniques are like the great sea.
However, wielding that power directly was literally a different experience.
Aah-!
With a single burst of energy, Jin was able to repel the brothers who pounced like hungry ghosts.
The long saber of Baltirok, Lumora's spear, Palem's long saber, Rinpa's great saber, Boras' fists and hand cannon, Dalpir's twin swords, Beliz's great saber, Garmund's great saber, Baba's long saber, Kaio's bow, Nata's flying kick, Teto's spear rejoining the fray.
And countless weapons of the ordinary warriors. All those attacks couldn't penetrate the energy unleashed by Jin.
On the other hand, Jin was able to attack successfully so easily.
The ordinary warriors were swept away like fallen leaves by the strong wind, and the Battle Kings raised their energies.
The whole sky trembled as if it was about to collapse under their collective pressure.
To the point that the surging energy created a storm like a tidal wave in an instant, and in the distorted space, screams resonated like cracks.
In an instant, a scene reminiscent of the Apocalypse unfolded.
Some ordinary warriors couldn't withstand the storm and collapsed.
To prevent further damage to the fallen, Jin sent his energy towards them, forming protective shields around them. Naturally, as if it was his own power.
It seemed he could afford to protect all the ordinary warriors that way.
"Hahaha..."
A bitter laugh escaped him. This was the power of the 'Goddess of Battle' of the Tribe of Legends.
"Kaaaa!"
The First Battle King to break through Jin's lightning was Nata.
Kaio shot an arrow to clear the path, and within that opening, Nata roared and jumped.
It was then that Jin unsheathed Sigmund.
The sword was imbued with lightning energy unparalleled compared to any other moment.
And when the sword left its sheath, Jin had a firm conviction.
If he wanted to, he could strike down Nata in one blow.
Jin didn't articulate those thoughts, but Nata instinctively understood.
"If you had been the true Elder Sister Goddess of Battle, she wouldn't have hesitated. Elder Brother Jin."
Swoosh! Pzzz! Lightning energy swirled and gathered in Nata's fist.
An illusion?
No, it's a variable.
'Created by Elder Sister Nata.'
The moment Jin was sure, he had to strike wherever. Even if that meant Nata wouldn't die and somehow managed to take another step to land a punch.
She was a Battle King of Legends. Though she didn't reach the level of God of Battle, she wasn't someone who would fall to a simple sword.
Even the true Vahn had to be sincere to kill her. Especially in a situation like this, where the Twelve Battle Kings and all the ordinary warriors attacked at once.
Nata's fist passed by Jin's ear.
He momentarily lost his balance due to the shockwave, but it wasn't enough to pose a problem when counterattacking.
Jin cut her fists with his sword's hilt and unleashed a sweeping blow.
Just as Nata's blood was about to evaporate into lightning energy, Beliz's great sword came in to deliver the second strike.
He dodged and stabbed, shot sword energy while parrying Kaio's lightning arrows, twisted the attack trajectory of Palem and Lumora, pushed back Baltirok, knocked down Dalpir and Garmund, deflected Rinpa and struck Boras' chin (adjusting the force, considering Boras' tight schedule) and he struck down Teto's spear.
It took him 3 seconds to do all this. Jin hadn't yet received any effective blow, and in the midst of the chaos, tried to counterattack as his formation crumbled.
But one remained.
The Ninth Battle King, Baba. The direct descendant of the ancient God of Battle Nana. His blue sword rushed through the chaotic battlefield.
'This is dangerous.'
A chill ran down Jin's spine.
In the midst of the confusion, a sense of danger, seemingly impossible in the state of God of Battle Fusion, abruptly awakened his senses.
The perfect solution to overcome this danger was to counterattack precisely.
His eyes and senses made him capable of wielding the sword without hesitation even in the midst of such a desperate situation.
However, receiving this blow would kill or severely injure Baba.
Had it not been for Nata's earlier example, Jin might have hesitated again. After all, they weren't enemies but rather siblings engaged in a sparring match.
"Reacting clumsily out of fear of hurting Sister Baba is more of an insult to her."
As if on cue, Jin's lightning energy scattered in all directions, coalescing around Sigmund before anyone could blink.
Before the edges of their swords met, there was a brief moment where all of Jin's energy focused.
Crackle...!
Baba's sword distorted. His arm, wielding the sword, twisted, but Jin didn't stop even after seeing it.
An expansive wave that seemed to destroy the entire hall spread instantly.
Nearby Battle Kings were thrown in random directions, and Jin didn't retract the released energy.
Instead, he amplified it, fueled by the intent to annihilate all the Battle Kings. The explosion whitened the entire surroundings, and due to the immense commotion, Jin couldn't immediately comprehend the situation even with the battle god's senses.
And what Jin regretted didn't come to pass.
Through that enormous explosion, what appeared next was Baba's sword descending like a lightning once again. A sword threatening him, tearing through the white storm of the shockwave.
It wasn't as menacing as the first time.
Jin effortlessly blocked Baba's sword and slammed him to the ground, not giving him a chance to rise. He lunged at him like a beast, aiming the sword at his throat.
Kaio's arrow, flying just before the thrust, diverted Sigmund.
Once again, the linked attacks of the Battle Kings showed an even more formidable momentum.
Furthermore, some ordinary warriors cleverly followed the path opened by the Battle Kings and entered the fray.
At that moment, Jin could only show a look of joy once more.
Even after using the God of Battle Fusion, facing such an "exhausting" situation was possible, revealing that his opponents were truly his powerful and persistent siblings.
Jin felt proud of the greatest fighting race in history.
"Cover me, Brother Tenth Battle King!"
"Charge! Don't face him one-on-one!"
"Brother Ninth Battle King, you need time to recover!"
The longer the fight lasted, the more scratches formed on Jin's body one by one.
Other members of the Legends had broken bones and crushed muscles in most cases, but their momentum did not diminish at all.
Rather, it became fiercer.
It would have been impossible if they were alone, but personal injuries were no issue for the Legends, who were immersed in coordinated attacks.
They moved as one regardless of whether they were battle kings or ordinary warriors.
There was no difference in battle skill level, and anyone could become the center of the attack whenever the opportunity arose.
Jin rushed among them without hesitation and broke the formation.
However, as much as he knocked them down, the Legends showed no signs of collapsing.
Vahn watched them with satisfaction from above, riding on Lingling, who had transformed her body.
"Huh... Watching him fight well annoys me. He's strong, but with Vahn's added power, it's like that guy sprouted wings."
"Lingling, why do you act as if you dislike Brother Jin when you don't actually hate him?"
"Why do you ask when you're reading my mind, Vahn?"
"That's right."
"...More importantly, do you really think it's okay to give it all to him, Vahn?"
Vahn smiled.
"I'm willing to give it all to Brother Jin and the rest of my siblings anytime."
"Hpmh, how can you say that sincerely, Vahn?"
"And you too, Lingling. You're not a sibling, but a part of me, no. Because we've become a family."
Lingling didn't reply, but she flapped her wings shyly.
Whoa...
Vahn breathed out as if exhausted.
The time for the God of Battle Fusion to end had come.
The 10 minutes, which was the previous maximum, had been extended, so the current God of Battle Fusion was causing even greater fatigue.
The moment the battle ended,
Jin breathed heavily and held his sword against Baba's neck, while the other Battle Kings aimed their weapons at him.
At first, Jin dominated them, but gradually the synchronization speed of the God of Battle Fusion decreased, and in the end, they pushed him back.
The Legends stopped all their attacks as soon as the God of Battle Fusion ended.
Although it was a short battle, less than 10 minutes, Jin and the Legends showed signs of exhaustion like people who had been on the battlefield for days.
"Phew, that was intense. Brother Jin!"
"The battle would have ended in an instant if not for Sister Vahn's power."
"That's obvious. Anyway, it's been a pleasant fight!"
As always when Jin achieves an "achievement," the Legends suddenly open their mouths in the air of the main hall.
Then, like young beasts trying to eat the falling snow, they gulp the air.
It was a bit embarrassing, but laughter erupted at the innocent appearance of their siblings.
"Excellent. With this, let's conclude the opening match of the Great Battle Kings Tournament."
