This time, a sword energy that glowed even more dazzling blue that the battleship's cannon fire blocked its path even before Ron's formless sword energy could do it.
It was a breathtaking moment for everyone on the battlefield.
It resembled the convergence of two massive beams of light. It was the clash between Linpa's sword energy and the cannon fire of Grenil.
Boom!
The cannon fire shattered, and blue fragments rained down like hail. However, this time, the other martial artists didn't need to deal with those fragments.
It was because Ron's formless sword energy swept the fragments away in mid-air. The fragments of energy disappeared without a trace just like dust being swept away by a strong gust of wind.
Joe couldn't help but exclaim witnessing this,, "My goodness, what in the world is happening!"
Swoosh!
The battleship Grenil tilted to one side. It was Linpa's sword energy that had pierced through the cannon fire and even the transparent protective shield, and directly hit the hull.
Such a feat with a single strike was only possible because Ron had previously weakened the protective shield.
Superhuman strength, on a different level.
Linpa had instilled awe in the martial artists on the ground with a single blow. It was the true power of the Fourth Battle king of the strongest fighting race that was destroyed in the past.
Since the people of the world didn't know much about the Plutonian tribe's existence, they simply thought of her as one of Jin's comrades. They found it amazing that such an incredible being was fighting for Jin.
"Uwaaa, Uncle Joe! Didn't you say we'd be safe once we boarded the ship!?" Margiella shouted.
She, along with Bishkel and Bubare, had been undergoing treatment inside the ship while Jin and the attackers were engaged in battle.
"That was the plan, but there's an unexpected variable now..."
"Margiella, your wounds will open again. Don't move," Bishkel said out of caution.
"Ugh, my, my back! Lord Bishkel, my back!"
"Shut up, Bubare!"
Joe leaned on his staff and carefully assessed the situation once more.
At first, Joe couldn't see it clearly due to the surprise, but it was unmistakably the Plutonian who attacked the ship's hull.
It was the existence that served as the foundation for the creation of the Plutonian-type living golem.
"Huh, Plutonian...!" Joe's eyes lit up, and he smiled.
"It's the Plutonian tribesmen, Margiella! Once we secure a sample, I can undoubtedly create a perfect living golem... Cough!"
Thud!
Once again, a shockwave reverberated through the ship's interior.
This time, it was the result of Ron's formless sword energy striking the forefront. Since the protective shield hadn't completely shattered, it didn't fully received the power of the formless sword energy, but even so, chaos erupted within the ship.
"Ahh!"
"Margiella!"
"My back... my back!"
"We need to secure a sample..."
Amidst the reflexive exclamations, something peculiar flew towards the forefront. At first glance, it resembled rocks rising from the ground amidst the sword energy being fired, but members of Kinzelo on board could discern eyes flashing within it.
It was Linpa.
She had leaped from the outer wall to reach the forefront of the Grenil ship in a single jump. The wall she had jumped from couldn't withstand her power and crumbled.
The members of Kinzelo held their breath, and the next moment, they were faced with Linpa's greatsword.
It was as if a colossal beast from mythology had swung its claws. The trajectory of the enormous sword drawn in the air was larger than the Grenil itself.
Crash! Clang!
The blue sword energy slashed through the ship's hull.
In an instant, the Grenil's attitude dropped, and the complex machinery that adorned the ship's surface shattered and sent debris cascading down like dust.
Thunk!
Linpa landed on the ground and a deep semi-circular pit was created where she landed.
Before the vibrations subsided, she leaped again and targeted the lower part of the ship.
'Even the Black Knight Barton used his sword energy for flight, but sister Linpa... just leap and fly,' Jin marveled.
Jin had known since he trained in Laprarosa that Linpa was among the strongest Battle kings. However, this was the first time he had seen her fully utilize her power.
Suddenly, he remembered how he had first mocked Linpa's silence training.
Jin felt a dizzying sensation as he thought about it again .
Swish...
Another hole appeared at the lower part of the ship when Linpa's greatsword struck it. It wasn't anything special—a plain thrust had caused a crack to spread across the ship's hull.
And just as Linpa was about to land again.
A storm composed of thunderbolts suddenly erupted from Grenil. It was even more fierce than the hellish cannon that had been firing moments ago.
Linpa was swept away by the storm of thunderbolts and couldn't land as planned.
An unexpected blow struck Linpa when she was defenseless in the air, and everyone present on the battlefield who saw this scene only thought of a single thing.
Will Jin's comrade be okay when they get out of that thunderstorm?
According to their common sense, it seemed like a difficult thing. Considering Linpa's battle prowess, she might be able to escape, but it was unlikely she would emerge unharmed.
Countless lightning strikes seemed to be coiling around battleship Grenil. The entire Sword emperor castle was bathed in a brilliant blue light, and the shadows of those standing on the ground were lengthening.
In the midst of this, Ron and Berakt's swords clashed. Ron had regained his composure, but he looked somewhat fatigued due to protecting the entire castle all this time.
However, his fatigue didn't diminish the majesty of his swordsmanship. Despite having shed much blood and being tired, Ron's formless sword energy continued to sharpen.
Jin was still observing the battlefield from the outer wall, and of course, he was not worried about Linpa, who was trapped within the storm of lightning.
'I didn't know they had such means of attack apart from the cannon. These lunatics... it will only provoke sister Linpa.'
Krrr...
The storm of lightning was subduing. And contrary to everyone's expectations.
Linpa landed on the ground without a scratch.
Her first words upon landing were this:
"Mimicking our... power... is distasteful..."
The gathered thunderbolts around her sword emitted an even sharper light.
Linpa didn't jump back towards Grenil but instead turned her gaze towards Ron and Berakt.
Since the ship was already damaged to the point where it could no longer function properly, she judged that eliminating the enemies on the ground took precedence.
The White wolf tribe.
In truth, ever since she was first summoned, Linpa was overcome by a strange feeling after smelling the distinctive scent of the White wolf tribe.
It felt like encountering a forgotten old toy...
Berakt, who sensed her gaze, distanced himself from Ron. By now, Berakt was also breathing heavily and roughly.
"You come in too. I will take on both of you at once."
Berakt spoke with a resolute voice filled with determination.
The title 'Great Warrior of White wolf tribe' is by no means easy to obtain.
It is by no means easy to suppress the absolute fear imprinted in one's blood for thousands of years, known as the Plutonian tribe, with only 'will.'.
Among the beastmen of the current generation, there were only a few who could muster the will to overcome that fear.
From Berakt's perspective, saying that he would deal with Linpa was not a bluff.
He had absolute confidence in his own power, just like any other warrior who has reached the pinnacle.
But from Linpa's point of view, it was no different from a puppy barking.
"You... always bark when you're scared... whether then or now…. Although you seem to be better than…. the average warrior of White wolf tribe..."
Linpa and Ron both charged towards Berakt simultaneously.
There was no way to avoid it. Berakt stood his ground against two swords, but the ground he was standing on sank entirely.
"I don't know who you are, but thanks to you, my knights can take a break."
If this battle had been an honorable one-on-one duel, Ron would never have allowed Linpa to join in. However, for Ron, this battle was simply about repelling the terrorist group that attacked the Sword Emperor Castle and subduing the beasts more efficiently. There was no need to consider honor when it came to hunting beasts.
"Give your regards to... my brother... I won't remember today's events anyway."
This was the first reason Jin didn't want to call his brethren, although there were plenty more.
The being that manifested through the Black Light Call was more like a guardian composed of shadow force and soul, rather than traditional summonings. They would forget anything that they experienced during their time in the human world when the soul returned to Laprarosa .
Jin felt like a disgraceful act to call his brethren who had already perished and been forgotten.
"Is Jin Runcandel your brother?"
Ron had not personally witnessed Linpa coming out from the Black Door as he was busy dealing with Berakt and defending the Sword emperor castle alone.
"Yes, he is."
"I'll express my gratitude to him after the battle is over."
"How dare you when I am in front of you...!"
Berakt roared and swung his greatsword, but it was impossible for him to withstand the combined power of the two.
His fur and flesh were being torn apart.
If there had been aerial support, he might not have been pushed back so severely, but Grenil couldn't gather lightning as quickly as before.
Complete defeat of Kinzelo.
That was Jin's goal. He wanted to destroy Grenil, and if possible, cut down Berakt and members of Kinzelo at the same time.
However, there was one issue to consider.
'If the situation continues to deteriorate like this, the leader is likely to appear... they could escape with him just like the Dark Magic Society incident.'
But Ron and Linpa were not the only ones on the battlefield. There were still dragons, including Murakan and Cuicantelle, in the sky, and now that no more fragments were falling, the ground forces could rejoin the battle.
Even if the leader came, it wouldn't be as easy to escape as it was back then.
Jin gritted his teeth and reached that conclusion. At that moment...
Psssssss...!
Suddenly, pieces of "metal shrapnel" gathered in front of Grenil.
Murakan, who sensed the metal pieces, landed next to Jin and revealed his energy.
[Jin. It is him.]
"Yeah, I knew he'd come. He's not the kind to sit back."
Murakan narrowed his eyes in apparent displeasure.
Fortunately, Jin had time to recover and prepare one particular spell before the leader's dimensional portal was completed.
"Let's deal with him, Murakan." Jin said, as he raised his mana.
