C647
The Red Owl couldn't teleport directly to Tikan, the designated return coordinates.
Originally, the Red Owl and Mort were not affected by chaos particles, but the chaos from Rosa covering Kalon was so thick that it exceeded those standards.
It had crashed several times in forests, seas, and unnamed islands.
The Red Owl's helmet was corroded by chaos, and every time it attempted a space jump, the power source emitted an uncomfortable noise.
"According to the manual, there is a high probability that we will eventually reach the designated coordinates as long as the energy core and the cabin are not completely destroyed... but..."
The problem was Talaris.
Heat like a fireball surged from her unconscious body.
Her pulse was unstable, and the backflow reaction was so severe that it sometimes discharged her aura randomly.
She needed treatment as soon as possible.Jin wanted to send Talaris to Shuri for healing first.
However, even Shuri had to wander for a long time to find their current location.
Jin had no choice but to keep trying space jumps, hoping to land near the Holy Land or reach Tikan.
The ship performed five space jumps, but all were unsuccessful.
The Red Owl kept falling into the wrong terrain.
However, it was clear they were getting away from Hufester, and the Chaos adhered to the helmet was shedding with each jump, and the power source was becoming more stable.
It seemed they would soon reach Tikan if they kept progressing like this.
Just as he was about to press the button in the center of the cabin again, Jin heard a familiar voice coming out of nowhere.
(Oh, Jin?)
It was Lingling's voice.
It was very faint, but it was definitely Lingling.
"Li... Lingling!?"
Jin looked around as if possessed by a ghost at that moment.
Naturally, he couldn't see Lingling anywhere.
But it wasn't just Lingling's voice he could hear.
(What, why are you suddenly coming into my head?) No, more than that, can you hear my voice?)
"I can hear you. Can you hear me too?"
(Uh, I feel sick!)
(What, Brother Jin?)
(Brother Jin!? Didn't you just call Brother Kaio?)
(Where's Brother Jin!? Lingling, are you really talking to Jin right now?)
(How am I supposed to explain this? I suddenly saw that idiot's face in my mind and heard his voice. He was babbling while pressing some button. There's a white-haired human collapsed next to him).
(Button? Babbling? Collapsed human? Is Brother Jin in danger?)
"Brothers! Can't you hear my voice?"
(Don't you hear that voice?)
(Are you pulling a prank, Lingling?)
(Ah, this is frustrating! I'm telling the truth! Jin is really hearing your voices)
For a few seconds, there was confusion and conflicting messages between Jin, Lingling, and the Legends.
Jin could hear everyone's voices, but it seemed Lafrarosa couldn't hear him.
(Brothers, Lingling isn't joking. It seems Brother Jin is hearing our voices).
(Ohh. What's happening, Sister Goddess of Battle!)
As Vahn was internally connected with Lingling, she immediately recognized the situation.
(It seems there's some kind of resonance between Jin and Lingling for some reason. Lingling, please relay Brother Jin's message to us. Brother Jin, what's happening outside? You summoned Brother Tenth Battle King, was there something you couldn't handle?)
Jin briefly explained what had happened in the Garden of Swords.
(The human world is turning into a hell. It would be great if we could leave immediately to help our brother).
"You've already helped enough, Sister Goddess of Battle."
(Still, seeing this sudden connection between Lafrarosa and the human world, it seems the day we go out is not far away).
Synchronous wavelength tracking space jump.
Jin suspected this sudden "connection" had something to do with it.
"Probably because of the flying ship my companion built. It seems the flying ship accidentally picked up Lafrarosa's wavelength."
His speculation was correct.
The reason the Red Owl picked up Lafrarosa's wavelength was some kind of error.
(First of all, I heard your companion's condition is critical. If it's a white-haired person, it's probably Talaris Endorma, who has saved you many times, brother).
"Yes, her internal injuries are severe."
(Close your eyes, try to focus. Maybe I can help her through Lingling and you, brother).
Vahn's words were no different.
She was going to try the God of Battle Fusion.
Jin immediately closed his eyes and focused on the resonance point with Lingling.
Then, just as it happened in Lafrarosa, Jin felt his Light Heart light up and could feel Vahn's senses and energy gradually transmitting.
'It's a little weaker than when I did it in Lafrarosa... but the God of Battle Fusion is clearly activating...!'
Perhaps because of the dimensional distance between the human world and Lafrarosa, Vahn's sensation wasn't fully transmitted.
But that alone was enough to examine Talaris's condition.
(Both the meridians and blood vessels are damaged. Divine power with the attribute of cold energy is preventing the worst-case scenario. But at this rate, she'll reach her limit in one or two hours).
"If that happens..."
(She may not die, but she won't be able to manifest the same level of power as before)
Until they entered the God of Battle Fusion, Jin could only assume the situation wasn't as serious, but now Jin could accurately perceive what Vahn was feeling.
(Follow my senses and infuse energy into her body. Immediately clear away the cold energy that seems about to detach and fill the void with lightning energy).
Jin followed Vahn's words and placed his hand on Talaris's back.
Through the tangled blood vessels, Jin's energy slowly pierced into her wounds.
Though it was only for an instant, Jin broke out in a cold sweat.
While she was unconscious, Talaris expelled clots of black blood, and Jin felt like he was walking on a tightrope over her life.
But Jin believed in Vahn.
Unlike his anxious self, he felt not the slightest concern within Vahn.
"Huh..."
Finally, the feverish heat melting her entire body subsided, and Talaris let out a warm sigh.
Though Talaris had not regained consciousness, she now seemed to sleep peacefully.
"Well done. But, Brother Jin, this is only a temporary solution. You must begin the full treatment in at least three days."
"Very well, Sister Goddess of Battle!"
Jin wanted to spend more time with his siblings, but the situation did not allow it.
Jin had to attempt the space jumps again.
Fortunately, he overcame the obstacle of Talaris, but he would never be sure until he returned to Tikan.
Even after returning, there were still problems.
The power possessed by Rosa Runcandel, which he had firsthand experience of, overwhelmed all other major factions.
Jin had to hurry to inform his companions of this fact and prepare for the future.
Perhaps he would have to make the decision to evacuate all of Tikan.
If Rosa's Runcandel began to pursue Tikan with all her might, Jin and his companions would have no way to stop her.
This story applied not only to Tikan but also to all other factions.
As formidable as the hidden power they possessed was, it seemed unlikely that they could overcome Rosa's Runcandel.
They had already brought a fleet close to its full strength, yet they suffered defeat.
Jin did not witness the battle to the end, but he couldn't imagine that Rosa had been defeated.
"Siblings, Lingling. I am leaving now. I will investigate this coincidence as soon as I return. As the sister said, this coincidence seems to be a great clue for our siblings to emerge."
The frequency of their fusion was decreasing. Vahn, she, was withdrawing her strength before Jin could release her.
"Go, Brother Jin. We will await the day we can be in contact again."
"Hmph, go quickly! Don't cause trouble elsewhere."
After bidding farewell to his siblings, Jin pressed the button of the red owl again.
February 27, 1803.
Jin took two days to reach Tikan.
He made a dozen space jumps since stabilizing Talaris's internal injuries, but he did not reconnect with Lafrarosa.
Talaris was evacuated to the Holy Kingdom as soon as she arrived, and Jin received information collected by his other companions. Fortunately. After that day, Runcandel had not sent troops outside.
"We are not sure if they are not sending or if they cannot."
"I think it's the latter. Runcandel needs time to regain its strength, and more importantly, using so much power must have had a terrible cost."
"I agree, Jin-nim. However, reports indicate that over 50% of the entire continent of the Hufester Alliance, including the Garden of Swords and the city of Kalon, has been consumed by Chaos. It happened in just two days... between the time you escaped and now."
It was not an exaggeration to say that the entire continent of Hufester was being engulfed by Chaos.
And all this erosion occurred in just two days.
The internal situation was completely uncertain.
It was not even possible to enter the lands where erosion had not yet occurred.
"Perhaps the Garden of Swords plans to consume the entire world in this way. If the whole world falls into Chaos, they would have no need to track us or any other force..."
Zipple and Kinzelo.
They continued their relentless attack after Jin's escape, but they finally decided to withdraw, having suffered significant losses.
"According to the report received this noon, only three Zipple fleets appeared over the territorial waters of the Luther Magic Federation."
"If that's true, it means they lost half of their six fleets. Has there been any confirmation regarding Kinzelo?"
"Yes, but there have been no reports of a withdrawal from any expected route. It is assumed that they withdrew through Orgal's ability. In that case, their situation might be better than Zipple's."
Unlike Jin, his companions understood the situation solely through the reports of the Seven-Colored Peacocks after the battle.
All the reports were shocking. No one had expected Rosa Runcandel to achieve victory against Jin and the other factions.
Furthermore, Rosa Runcandel was no longer the acting matriarch.
She had announced to the world that she was now the "Patriarch" of Runcandel as soon as all her enemies withdrew.
First and foremost, it was necessary to meet with the leaders of Zipple and Kinzelo.
"The two main factions will contact us soon. They probably have the same thoughts as me. Please inform me immediately."
"I understand, Jin-nim."
"And what about the knights who escaped... Are there still no news?"
The Knights who resisted Rosa to the end.
Amidst his anxiety to know if the knights were alive or dead, Jet burst into the meeting room.
"My lord! The survival of the rescued knights has been confirmed...! Quikantel-nim is bringing them back personally."
Jin closed his eyes, running his hand over his chest.
If they had all died, there would be very few left in the world who could call themselves Runcandel.
