Swordmaster’s Youngest Son Novel MTL - Chapter 901

## Chapter 901

***

Garden of Swords.

“…So, the reason you sent me away in such a hurry was because of that,” Luna said with a sigh.

After cutting down Anne’s body, Jin honestly explained to Luna the situation at the moment and the current circumstances. Since the siblings, who thought they were suffering in hell, had become new enemies under the name “Ganesto,” there was no need to hide anything from Luna.

“I’m sorry, Elder Sister. I was worried that they would hurt you.”

“No, young one. I showed a vulnerable side, so it’s natural for you to think that way. In fact, if it had been me instead of you, I might not have been able to defeat Anne so quickly. She pretended to be so miserable that I would have felt even more tormented. I might have even ended up with a minor injury.”

“Or maybe Anne kept pretending until the very end. Even so, in the end, you would have defeated Anne, but I think the remaining siblings would have appeared before you in the same way.”

If Anne, Myu, Ran, and Vigo had acted as if they were repenting in front of Luna one by one, it would have had a considerable psychological impact on her.

“That could have happened. Visepps gave us valuable information. It’s better this way. From now on, I can face my deceased siblings without feeling sorry for them. They were rotten to the core, inside and out. By now, I don’t even care that I didn’t pay them more attention when they were young.”

“Actually, it has nothing to do with you. If we were to delve into why they were like this even before becoming Ganestos, it could be because of the cruel traditions of the Runcandel. But even without them, they would have eventually become Ganestos.”

-And, say hello to the others. If you ever think about joining us, you are always welcome. We were all born on the same ship in the end.

As Anne mentioned, all the Runcandel of the current generation were born from Rosa, and Rosa is presumed to be a direct descendant of Ganesto.

Jin suspected that among them, those who inherited Ganesto’s blood particularly strongly or had weak wills and dark beliefs were the ones who awakened that blood. It was like a kind of curse.

At least, as far as Jin knew, there was nothing like it in his past life, but he couldn’t be sure. At that time, Jin was banished from his clan, and he didn’t know the situation of the major factions like the Runcandel as well as he did now.

Although much of history had changed due to his return, for some reason, he had a strange conviction that this incident was not closely related to him.

“Damn, the fact that we were all born with the same blood is a bit unsettling, Young Patriarch.”

“I wonder if anyone among us could suddenly awaken Ganesto’s blood.”

Daytona and Haytona said with worried expressions.

“It’s not entirely impossible. But if that were possible, there would be no reason for Lokia to work behind the scenes. It would be much more efficient for her to awaken the Flagbearers here. Either we can’t awaken, or something is preventing our awakening.”

“Something is preventing us from awakening Ganesto’s blood…”

When Mary responded to Jin, Luet nodded.

[If something is preventing the awakening, I think it could be Solderet’s authority.]

“Solderet’s authority…?”

[Immunity to curses. In Runcandel, Lokia was perhaps the most exceptional Magician in the world at the time. Unlike Knights, Magicians’ abilities are not solely evaluated based on combat power. Lokia at that time displayed such incredible magic that they called her Creator.]

Luet remembered that Lokia was called the ‘Creator’ shortly after Jin discussed his encounter with Anne.

[She was more proficient in a wider range of magic than even the leaders of Zipple and Elona, especially when it came to curses. She had no equal in that regard.]

Luet speculated that Ganesto’s blood is a type of curse.

[If the awakening of the blood is a curse, then the Young Patriarch is immune due to Solderet’s authority. And it is possible that the other Flagbearers have become immune due to his influence.]

“Wait, Luet. Immunity to curses is an ability that only applies to the boy.”

[That’s right. But Solderet may have recognized Lokia’s betrayal a thousand years ago and prepared for it. Of course, it’s just a hypothesis.]

“If that hypothesis is true, then, even though we are immune, there is another person we are concerned about. Dr. Qwaul. If Solderet has prepared, would he be included…? Of course, Dr. Qwaul has not shown any unusual signs yet, so it is highly unlikely that Lokia can awaken him as she desires.”

[I believe that too, Young Patriarch.]

For now, what was concerning was not the conditions for awakening Ganesto’s blood. At least, all the circumstances indicated that ‘it is impossible for Lokia to awaken the Flagbearers and Dr. Qwaul as she desires’.

What mattered was that a new enemy, Ganesto, had appeared after the Red Legend Tribe and the True Demon World.

Jin activated the communication device. The call connected to the Tabernacle.

“Manager, are the Visepps still there?”

{Yes, I will connect you immediately.}

{Jin, what happened?}

For a while, Jin informed Visepps of the information he had obtained after meeting with Anne. Tilias and Misol seemed quite bewildered as they listened.

{…Hmm, Ganesto? Ragal certainly considered them mere prisoners, aware of the Runcandel.}

“Is there a possibility that Ragal made a deal with those four, and somehow with Lokia Ganesto?”

{Well… first of all, the name Lokia Ganesto is not well-known in the Demon World. She is a person whose related information was almost erased due to history manipulation, even in your human world. Besides, for that person Lokia to make a deal with Ragal, it would have to be when she was fighting Elona, during her time in the human world, and she didn’t have any free time for something like that when she was facing Elona in battle.}

Then, Tilias added that it would have been impossible for Lokia to go to hell and make a deal in person. Currently, only the Witch could travel freely between hell and hell.

{More than anything, Ragal doesn’t have the intelligence for that. Do you think Ragal was just looking for the secret of the Runcandel and assessed the value of those people and would have thought about making a deal with Lokia Ganesto? Even if it were Ragal before he was brainwashed by Zito, it would have been impossible.}

“In that case, there must be a collaborator.”

{Definitely there is one. But… there doesn’t seem to be anyone among the figures of the True Demon World. I don’t think Zito intervened directly either. Let’s investigate carefully for now.}

After ending the call, Jin looked at those gathered in the meeting room.

“If Ragal’s collaborator is not from the True Demon World, then it could be the former Second Flagbearer whom the Black Sword Association has been tracking since the Evil God War. However, the key is how he managed to access hell… If Lokia and the Witch have a cooperative relationship, they could have easily accessed it.”

Just as he said that, a call suddenly came from Tikan.

{Sir Jin, I just received a report from Lady Yona.}

“What was the content?”

{It seems that Ainas Kaligo and the Chief of the Dreamers, Pirops Bachma, attempted to infiltrate Kelliark’s dream together. However, there was something strange about it.}

-Ah, Bouvard. I really didn’t want to do it, but you know I used my dream ability because of my dad. But it was all in vain. Right now, Kelliark Zipple is too far away.

-Too far away?

-I mean he’s not in the human world. I definitely confirmed that Kelliark’s dream exists in the dream realm, but we can’t see it at all, even though it should at least appear faintly if it were in the middle world. Anyway, I used an ability I didn’t want to use, Dad is so stupid.

-Keke, don’t hate Sir Pirops too much. Sir Pirops treats me well.

-I don’t hate him, I’m just annoyed. I like swords, but he keeps telling me to practice my dream ability. And Bouvard is my best friend, so it’s natural for Dad to treat you well.

The conversation that Yona overheard after Ainas failed to infiltrate Kelliark’s dream. Yona persistently followed the two and obtained useful information this time as well.

According to Ainas, there is only one place where Kelliark can be currently.

“Hell… Kelliark Zipple is currently in hell.”

{Miss Ameris said the same thing as soon as she heard this news.}

“Was there anything else in the report?”

{No, there wasn’t.}

“Understood. After this meeting, I will go to Tikan and provide them with the summarized information, so please wait.”

{Yes, Sir.}

The call ended.

“Joshua might not be the only one, but Kelliark Zipple could also be cooperating with Ragal Fun. And perhaps, Joshua and Kelliark have become allies now. It’s a situation where they have nothing to lose by supporting each other.”

“Hmph! These guys who have fallen into hell are getting together to put on a little play?”

“It’s possible, Murakan. Anyway, if those guys have really joined forces, then it’s a lost cause to manifest Tess through Sheenu’s authority…”

Next, the third communication request came to the Garden of Swords.

This time, it was from Valeria.

{Jin, I just confirmed all the records about Anne that remain in the Oken Desert.}

Valeria immediately went to the Oken Desert and began her investigation as soon as Jin finished the battle.

{There were no records of when Anne changed like this or what she experienced in hell. However, some unexpected names appeared in these records.}

While Valeria explained the records, the eyes of those in the meeting room widened.

“The World of Lokia…? Could it be that, like Kaytam, she created her own domain in a different dimension or in subspace?”

[…Kelliark Zipfel and Joshua seem to have joined forces, just as the Young Patriarch mentioned. And judging by the reaction of the Demon King, Siker, who was in the Oken Desert, he probably didn’t know that Ragal was plotting something with Kelliark and Joshua.]

“Zito may not know anything about Joshua, Kelliark, and Ragal.”

Suddenly, a thought crossed Jin’s mind.

Perhaps the biggest enemies in this war were not Zito and the Demon Kings, but Kelliark and Ganesto.

“Regardless of that, it doesn’t seem like Kelliark and Ganesto are going to play the role of loyal servants of Zito. They will probably use the True Demon World as much as they can. We have to closely observe what they are doing inside the True Demon World in the future.”
