Chapter 906
## Chapter 906
Is this really a fire caused by a human?
The demons could only think so as they saw the blaze of Hellfire pushing against their defenses. Wherever their eyes could see, there were bright, massive fires, announcing destruction.
Each time Jin swung Bradamante, the entire sky and sea churned violently. Down below, the shockwaves caused tsunamis, and above, the energy of the sword that massacred demons ripped through the clouds.
“Do the commanders of the True Demon World lack intelligence? They withdrew the forces that were supposed to defend our defensive wall to stop Zipple.”
Although Jin’s voice was low and cold, it carried an energy close to that of the Genesis Knight. All the demons guarding the front defense line could clearly hear that voice, which resonated throughout the battlefield.
There were three Demon Kings currently within Jin’s field of vision.
One of them had already been engulfed by the Hellfire, not having a chance to respond or reveal his name.
He couldn’t even scream, as the horrifying flames were beyond even high-speed regeneration. The other two Demon Kings to his left and right were writhing in pain and screaming.
“Aaaah…!”
“Kahaa!”
But even they had barely avoided fatal injuries. There was no room for counterattacks in this situation.
The fire spread where Jin’s sword energy didn’t reach, and where the fire didn’t reach, darkness spread. Murakan’s black chains and breath were relentlessly massacring the demons.
If the Demon Kings had used Zito’s flesh from the beginning, they might not have been pushed into this critical situation so quickly.
Jin had always considered that the Demon Kings would use Zito’s flesh from the beginning and executed the Hellfire with all his might. The blue flames imbued with the aura of the eternal flame first melted Zito’s flesh, and Jin calculated carefully to make sure the Demon Kings didn’t have a chance to use the remaining flesh. He unleashed his sword energy.
With the situation of the three Demon Kings in this state, the lower-ranked troops couldn’t even look at Jin. Their entire bodies were quickly stiffening in response to the fighting spirit emanating from Jin.
Even if their bodies hadn’t stiffened, most of the ordinary soldiers wouldn’t have been able to discern Jin’s location. They struggled to find a way to escape the Hellfire that replaced the surrounding air.
“I will not kill those who surrender. I will not kill those who flee, if they can escape me.”
Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, millions…
Jin had reached a level where he could ignore those “numbers.” Numbers alone could never compete with Jin.
In the end, if no one capable of facing Jin and Murakan in “battle” showed up, the defense line was bound to open up all the way to Grosch Castle. Those people needed to show up and oppose the two for the demon army’s numerical advantage to have any meaning.
[What a pity, demons. Even if you are just ordinary soldiers, most of you have surely existed for centuries, just like us dragons. Is this what your long life has led to, only to fill the ranks and meet such a meaningless end?]
Murakan spoke as he took the life of another Demon King engulfed in flames. Now, only one Demon King remained on this side of the defense line, and yet, he was barely clinging to life. But in reality, he was as good as dead.
The bombardment of the Golden Ship was aimed precisely at him. The defensive wall was continuously launching a large-scale attack.
Tsuaaaah!
The Golden Ship’s main cannon ripped through space, leaving a massive trajectory. The Thunder Cannon, reinforced by the energy source of the illuminating heart and Peitel’s authority, annihilated the last Demon King without a trace.
It was natural that all the demons present in that trajectory were also annihilated.
In an instant, Jin created a straight path in the air with his ice mana. He calmly walked along that path through the burning demon army.
It was a strange sight. Demons turned to ashes and scattered like pollen, while a huge curtain of shadow force extended by Murakan supported Jin’s rearguard. The tightly formed demon ranks split in half according to Jin’s steps.
They could hear the sound of distant cannons firing from the alliance’s side, and the sound of the demon army and their weapons burning. And there was no sound of screams.
Instead, they heard the sob of a demon who was lucky enough to survive. He was crouched amidst the wreckage of the battleships that had surfaced from the sea, consumed by despair.
However, he wasn’t a deserter or a defector, so there was no reason to save him. When Jin glanced at him momentarily, the nearby flames gathered and consumed him.
“I can no longer tell who is a demon and who is a human. Didn’t you feel the sadness of a soldier who was frustrated while simply following orders? Jin Runcandel, this is terrifying.”
Suddenly, a dimensional portal opened in front of Jin. Five new Demon Kings emerged from it, hastily sent by Sakiel Grosch, who had grasped the situation.
Dylus Claupino, Ticano Belgasyum, Begel Milotane, Sulam Vacuria, Ragal Fun.
Jin’s gaze focused on Ragal Fun, the one who had lamented over the soldier’s sadness. This was their first time meeting in person, but Jin could recognize him immediately, thanks to the intense miasma he exuded.
“It’s Ragal Fun, I didn’t expect to meet him so soon.”
Currently, the Vamel Alliance expects Ragal to be collaborating with Kelliark Zipple.
Moreover, Ragal has a unique mass-killing ability and has a history of repelling Elona, making him one of the leading figures among the Demon Kings.
“Ragal Fun.”
Ragal also had to pay the debt. He had tried to threaten Luna by using the dead Runcandel, who became Ganesto. It was necessary to confirm if Ganesto and Kelliark Zipple were actually behind him.
“Ho-ho! Indeed, my fame has already spread throughout the human world. Well, since I half-killed Elona Zipple, who is said to be the most powerful among humans, it’s only natural, right? Yes, I am Ragal Fun, the only one who holds the title of “Poison Demon” in the demon world.”
The eyes of the other Demon Kings narrowed at Ragal Fun’s introduction, which seemed somewhat self-indulgent, as if they found it pathetic.
They had never originally been friends with Ragal. Everyone was closer to Claupino or Belgasyum as individuals. Jin briefly recalled the information Visepps had provided and tried to identify the rest of the Demon Kings.
“The demon with the long sword is Dylus, the patriarch of the Claupino family, and Ticano, the Demon King of the Belgasyum family. The other two are probably Begel Milotane, the ruler of the Frost region, and Sulam Vacuria, the ruler of the Plague region.”
Most of them were significantly more prominent figures than the Demon Kings Luna had encountered in her preemptive attack missions.
“Human world, or rather, the strongest human in this world is not Elona Zipple, Ragal Fun. Honestly, I myself was a little curious, but thanks to you, the rankings have become clear.”
“What? What are you talking about?”
“If you had encountered the patriarch of our sword clan instead of Elona Zipple that day, you might not be here now.”
Swish!
Jin unleashed his sword energy towards the Demon Kings first. Except for Dylus and Ticano, the other Demon Kings scattered in all directions, avoiding the onslaught of fire.
Dylus and Ticano, on the other hand, blocked the sword energy head-on and closed the distance with Jin. Dylus even managed to glance at Jin’s hair with his spear.
On the surface, it was a rather precarious moment, but Jin smiled and brushed his sword against Dylus’s forehead. Dylus nearly fell into the sea as he tried to block the blow.
“The previous Demon Kings were so weak that it was boring. But it seems there are some this time who can put up a good fight.”
Meanwhile, Ticano made a charge towards Jin’s side, but he had to stop under the relentless rain of black chains.
Dylus and Ticano possessed the highest combat capabilities among the new Demon Kings.
Dylus was somewhat shocked, but he regained his composure and gathered his strength. His posture had faltered for a moment after the single blow Jin had dealt him.
“I was curious about the gap between the young patriarch of the sword clan and myself, but now it seems that making a comparison would be meaningless…”
Jin couldn’t allow Dylus and Ticano to get their hands on the flesh, no matter what. As long as he could prevent them from strengthening their bodies, the battle would never become tiring.
Dylus tried to use the flesh immediately after closing the gap, but there simply wasn’t any opening.
It would take only one or two seconds, but Jin was pressing Dylus so fiercely that even that time seemed impossible.
“If you wanted to use Zito’s flesh, you should have used it beforehand. Were you worried that it would be wasted if you used it beforehand? What a fool.”
“Tsk…!”
Dylus barely pushed away Bradamante, which was crushing him like a mountain, and thought about the three Demon Kings who died before him.
On the battlefield, there was no sign of the true energy of Zito that they should have used. Similarly, he couldn’t use Zito’s flesh now like they did, so it was a clear mistake, just as Jin had said.
“I’m not the kind of person who can fight while calculating things like you. Zito would be happy to see this. To Zito, who are you, anyway? If I were Zito, you’d probably see them as parasites feeding on my flesh.”
Murakan also made the same decision as Jin. He was pressing Ticano to prevent him from using the flesh.
It would be best to make the remaining three unable to use the flesh, but that was difficult. No matter how inferior they were in terms of power, it would only take them about 2 seconds to break the flesh. Begel and Sulam had already managed to break the flesh while taking advantage of the situation.
Of course, if there were people who needed to be protected, Jin would have prioritized preventing Ragal Fun from using the flesh first.
However, his allies were far away, providing artillery support from the defense line, and only Jin and Murakan were fighting on the enemy side. It was impossible for Ragal to take hostages in this situation.
“Wow… Seriously, as my friend Kelliark said, Jin Runcandel is a formidable opponent. He doesn’t even give Dylus a chance to breathe from the start. Ticano isn’t weak either, but facing Murakan, he looks like a simple child.”
However, Ragal had never intended to participate in a sincere battle from the beginning.
He had no choice but to comply with Sakiel’s request for help and came reluctantly. Ragal didn’t care if the Demon Kings who were brought with him lived or died.
That’s why he didn’t use the flesh even though he could.
“It seems like it’s only a matter of time before these two lose to Jin Runcandel. I’ll use them as shields and escape at the right moment. Sakiel, that stupid bitch. Why doesn’t Sakiel know something that my friend Kelliark and I know? Excluding Sir Zito, there are only about four or five people in the True Demon World who can put up a proper fight against Jin Runcandel.”
Unlike the past, Ragal’s loyalty was no longer solely directed towards Zito. In a way, he now favored Kelliark Zipple more than Zito.
