Swordmaster’s Youngest Son Novel MTL - Chapter 914

## Chapter 914

An hour later, Vallas and Alpen arrived at the empire, while Dante headed to the front defense line.

“We’ve been communicating frequently, but it seems like it’s been quite a while since we last saw each other, Jin.”

“That’s right. Seems like you’ve grown?”

“As expected, you notice right away. I’ve been refining the energy my grandfather gave me. But it’s a bit unfortunate that Beradin wasn’t on the other side.”

“Well, his mind is still intact.”

“It feels like only the two of us are alright. I often feel sorry for Beradin.”

“What is there to regret? As long as we can bring him back to our side before he crosses the line, that’s all that matters.”

“Well, that’s true.”

“Are you ready to fight?”

In response to Jin’s question, Dante’s eyes sharpened.

“Of course… Those damned creatures from the True Demon World have been wreaking havoc on the empire through the transfer fracture for so long. I’ve been waking up in anger even in my sleep. Finally, the opportunity to destroy their main base with my own hands has arrived.”

Dante gripped the handle of Rashid, hanging from his waist.

“When should we start?”

“If you want, we can start right now. It’s been a while since the two of us went together.”

“Alright. It reminds me of the old days. So, it’s a bit disappointing that Beradin isn’t here anymore. Actually, it would be great if we could beat him up enough for him to regain his senses like before.”

“I’m exploring various ways, so just wait. When Valeria perfects her Record Magic, I plan to take the opportunity to examine Beradin and Elona Zipple’s records. Maybe that will make them remember what they’ve forgotten and experience some changes.”

“I feel great just imagining it.”

The two left the bridge and leaped into the sky.

As Jin extended his mana, the air froze and a path formed. As the two began running along the brilliant ice path, Vanessa, who had been sweeping the battlefield, turned around.

“Patriarch and Sword Emperor have arrived, show respect!”

Under Vanessa’s command, all the superhumans and knights who were in battle turned around and saluted. The air platform creation artifact developed by Qwaul for aerial combat was showing great performance.

Ignoring the demons chattering right in front of them, Jin and Dante stood tall.

The demons refrained from attacking the alliance members who had their backs turned as they saluted. They could only shrink in fear at the overwhelming presence that Jin and Dante emanated as they advanced.

“Leave the center to me and the Sword Emperor. Knights, follow Lady Vanessa and Sir Hedo on both sides and charge.”

“Yes, Sir!”

Swish…!

As Sigmund and Rashid came out of the scabbard, a deep and majestic resonance echoed in the air. The trembling vibrations in the air were palpable to the demons, who gritted their teeth in response.

The demons’ formation stopped about five hundred steps away from the ice path for a moment. Dante stepped forward, fixing his gaze on the demons with Rashid in hand.

“I am the one known as the Sword Emperor. I am here to eliminate those who dare to defile the empire and its honor. I have a question to ask: Is there anyone among the demons of the True Demon World who does not fear me and is willing to step forward?”

Dante’s voice resonated across the entire battlefield.

After a moment of silence, one demon stepped forward, wielding a massive axe over his shoulder.

“I am Lectus Kitaling, the commander of the Kitalin family. I will accept the challenge…”

Slish-!

A flash of light erupted in an instant. Lectus didn’t even have a chance to finish his sentence before his head was cut off.

As a Demon King, even if his head was cut off, he wouldn’t die. Lectus attempted to continue his words by reattaching his head through high-speed regeneration. However, a series of flashing strikes followed.

It took Lectus 2 seconds to become a cold corpse.

“I didn’t ask a question to hear your answer. I killed you first because those who approach without knowing the subject are the ones I want to kill first. So, is there anyone else? Step forward now and let me quickly end your worthless lives.”

No one stepped forward.

The other demons of the Kitalin family who had reached the third defense line with Lectus were also holding their breath. They had already heard news of their patriarch, Milius, being killed in action, but they didn’t expect things to be so terrible.

“Seems like there isn’t any. Understood, then I shall proceed.”

In an instant, the sword energy extending from Rashid split the battlefield in half and charged towards the enemies.

Dante stood still for a while, firing sword energy to massacre the demons. Every time a radiant sword light flashed on the battlefield, a group of demons disappeared.

Along with the Heaven-Splitting Sword, Ron’s formless swordsmanship was also spreading.

“You must have enjoyed threatening helpless people. You, demons, should never have left hell. From now on, you will face your doom.”

Fortunately, some of the demons who had barely escaped the Emperor’s Sword radiation managed to extend their lives momentarily. However, they were soon shattered by the formless swordsmanship.

‘Seems like I can see traces of Sir Ron in Dante. Quite impressive.’

Already, the enemy’s central formation was starting to crumble. The superhumans, including Vanessa and Hedo, along with the knights, had already taken the offensive, leaving the demons with no room to resist.

Jin advanced, wielding his sword.

‘As expected, not a single one of them is trying to escape using Zito’s flesh or using sacrifices.’

‘I think Sakiel probably prepared some kind of great magic using Zito’s flesh and the power of the Demon Kings… Whatever it is, it won’t go the way you want it to.’

Ahhh-!

The demons died en masse, and even the blood and flesh that scattered like mist could not touch Jin and Dante’s bodies. Their clothes remained clean.

As the demons scattered to the left and right to avoid Jin and Dante, they encountered the knights led by Vanessa and Hedo. As they retreated, they were devoured by Murakan’s Black Chains.

Even the Golden Ship and several cannons, along with Amela’s war equipment, provided artillery support. Whether they were forces that numbered in the tens of thousands or even millions, the enemy army was nothing more than a meaningless number.

A proper counterattack was nothing more than a dream.

Occasionally, demons infiltrated the rearguard of the alliance force through the sea. However, they did not infiltrate with the expectation of landing an effective blow on the alliance. After all, even if they managed to infiltrate, they would inevitably face the Golden Ship and Enya’s dragon fire blockade curtain amplified by the mirror.

Commanders, or rather, even most of the Demon King class demons, could not penetrate all that and land a blow on the alliance’s main force.

[Fleet, at full force. Increase speed forward! Maintain distance from the commander-in-chief!]

The number of demons entrenched in the defensive lines was visibly decreasing in real time. The third defense line had already essentially fallen.

After another 30 minutes passed, there wasn’t a single soul left on the third defense line. There were no wounded demons groaning in pain, and there were no demons gasping for air with only their lives intact.

Even finding corpses was difficult. Some enemies had disintegrated into particles, while others had left barely recognizable remains. Everything had dissipated into the air or sunk into the sea. Only the massive red stains of the demons’ spilled blood remained on the surface.

“Continue forward. To Grosch Castle!”

Without rest, the assault on the fourth defense line began. As before, the battle that followed was as futile as the previous lines, with the demons falling helplessly before the alliance’s power.

It took only two hours for the demons on the fourth defense line to be completely annihilated. Once again, not a single demon survived.

It was a strange war. In a human conflict, there would surely be deserters or fugitives, and negotiations through prisoners of war would be expected.

The annihilation of so many lives, especially beings who had lived for hundreds of years or more, without a trace, was inconceivable.

“Is it because of brainwashing? I can’t understand how this is possible… Does this Zito have absolutely no respect for his subordinates?”

“If he were a thoughtful person, he wouldn’t stand by and watch such a senseless and massive death, Dante.”

“Of course, considering they posed a threat to the Empire and humanity, there is no room for sympathy even if they die a thousand or ten thousand times. It’s a fortune that knights, like you and me, can bear the burden of all this death. If the common soldiers had to face all this death firsthand, even if they were the enemy, they might have lost their sanity.”

“You’re right. It’s what we have to do, what only we can do.”

“Once the war with the True Demon World is over, hopefully there won’t be so much pointless death in wars between humans. Maybe there will be those who cry out to be forgiven or those who plead for mercy on behalf of their subordinates.”

“That’s what we hope for.”

Now, in the distance, Grosch Castle protected by a purple shield was beginning to be visible.

Only the last defense line, the fifth defense line, remained on the front side. As it was the last line of defense before reaching the castle, it seemed to have many more troops stationed compared to the previous battlefront.

However, even this time, there was no figure that could make Jin nervous. Neither Paellito nor the Demon Kings, who were supposedly his equals, had shown themselves on the battlefield.

To the right, Luna and Luntia were in the midst of breaking through the fourth defense line and were expected to reach the fifth soon.

Meanwhile, Zipple and Kinzelo still couldn’t break through the third defense line. Powerful Demon Kings seemed to be constantly positioned in their way.

“Dante and I will enter the castle first to see what kind of plan Sakiel is devising. The main force will join us after annihilating the fifth defense line.”

{Understood!}

{Yes, Sir!}

Jin and Dante, like shooting stars, descended through the gaps in the demons of the fifth defense line. They quickly cleared their way, dealing only with the enemies blocking their path.

The destruction of the line was left to the main force. With a flurry of sword energy attacks and leaps, Jin and Dante managed to reach the shield surrounding Grosch Castle.

Crack…!

Finally, Jin and Dante broke a part of the protective shield as they entered the castle. As they entered, they felt intense demonic energy vibrations so intense that they had to hold their breath.

And that was the same kind of demonic energy that Jin had experienced once before.

“Seems like you used all the flesh you distributed to the Demon Kings, Sakiel. It’s time for you to reveal yourself, as there is no escape from defeat now.”
