When Vahn's gave an order, the Plutonians began to clear the banquet hall in perfect order.
Just as Jin was about to organize the table, 5th Battle King Boras approached him.
"Haha, Brother Jin, stay still. Let's hang out together."
"Brother Boras."
"As you may have already felt, sister Vahn firmly believes that Brother Jin will overcome the first chaos. The faith of the great Plutonian tribe has never gone astray...… No, it got wrong a couple of times. Hmmmm."
"Oh, really."
"Anyway, don't worry too much. I will make a very nice Chaos Extraction Aid for you."
That's why Vahn said she needed some preparation before starting the chaos cleanse.
Boras, the greatest blacksmith in the history of the Plutonians and the 5th Battle King. It was because he had to make something to help Vahn.
"Chaos Extraction Aid?"
"It's a device to assist the sister battle god in extracting chaos from you more easily. It also increases stability."
"Is the sister battle god capable of extracting the chaos of others? Even if that is the first chaos?"
"Yes, she is."
Boras' eyes were filled with sadness. He was thinking of the brethren who were stained with the first chaos before perishing.
"Of course... Will there be any side effects? Like the brethren said earlier, like becoming a bug."
"That's right. We also expected the side effects when injecting sister battle God's blood. But the result was perfect. Brother Jin, you are a man who is good at tests and trials, so you will do well this time too."
Jin decided not to ask for more details.
In fact, it was because there was no choice. The moment Jin refused purification out of fear of side effects, the only future left for Jin was death or a more disastrous outcome.
'I need to find out more, so it only bothers me. If I am going to attempt purification anyway, I have to trust my brethren and follow them. And anyway, if the sister battle god has a way, when they can get out...… Other people will be able to be cured too.'
It is unknown when the Plutonian tribe can be taken out in the human world. In addition, there were serious side effects, so it might not be of much help to other infected people in the human world.
'I hope I can find a way to reduce the side effects through my chaos purification.'
The banquet hall was finished.
Except for Vahn and Boras, the rest of the Plutonians and Jin moved to the training ground.
They drank all night, but it didn't matter at all in the training ground.
"Let's decide who will compete first with Brother Jin, using rock-paper-scissors."
"Rock-paper-scissors, it is not fair!"
At the words of ordinary warriors including Shaku, Baltirok shook his head.
"Brethren, this time only the battle king brethren like me will check Brother Jin's skills."
"Are you going to do this in a disrespectful way, the battle king brethren?"
"Sister battle god told us to check Brother Jin's skills, not training through sparring with him. Therefore, this sparring is an inspection process for purification."
"Ugh, something is unfair."
"If it's unfair, the other brethren also fight. Kyahaha. If you check Brother Jin with the skills of ordinary warriors, only useless accidents can happen."
'Teto,' The 12th battle king said, sticking out his tongue as if making fun of ordinary warriors.
Seeing that, 2nd battle King 'Lumora' struck Teto in the back of the head.
Bam-!
There was a sound like a piece of metal cracked.
"How many times do I have to tell you to speak nicely, brother 12th battle king? Then you get hated by our brethren."
"Ugh! I just told the truth. And I have no brethren who hate me. Everyone knows that I just talk without thinking anything."
"Anyway, brethren. It's not that the brother 12th battle king was wrong. The ordinary warrior brethren will just watch, and the battle kings will take turns examining the skills of the brother Jin."
Lumora pushed Teto on the back.
"Starting with the brother 12th battle king. The rest of the battle king brethren gather here, let's play rock-paper-scissors."
"Kekeke, of course! Even if you beat me often, you think of me because you're the best."
Teto gently rotated his spear and moved his steps toward the center of the training ground. He was the one who used spearmanship among the Plutonian tribe.
During the first and second training sessions, Jin did not face Teto many times.
However, one thing was clear.
"I'll tell you in advance, I'm the weakest among the battle king brethren."
Jin lets out a laugh. It was the reason Lumora put Teto in the first place.
"I know, Brother Teto. I heard that you became a battle king with pull-ups."
"Even so, Brother Jin will not be able to come to his senses from my flashy spearmanship."
Shaak-!
As soon as he finished his words, Teto stretched out his spear.
The blow, which was clearly aimed at the neck, could have led to death or fatal wounds if Jin was not careful enough to avoid it.
Brethren never cripple or threaten each other's life. Teto's attack violated that principle, but none of his brothers pointed it out.
Everyone was convinced that there was no way Jin would fall for Teto's surprise attack. Even though it wasn't a regular warrior, it was a surprise attack by 'The Battle King'.
"Kyakyakya! As expected, you've become stronger, Brother Jin!"
"You'd better be more serious, Brother Teto."
Jin replied in a cold tone, but he seemed to be excited about the fact that he had finally been recognized.
The only person who can engage in sparring with the Battle king in this way is only the battle kings and the battle god.
'Even during the last training, the battle king brethren were just playing with me like children. It's completely different now...….'
Fuzz!
Sigmund's thunderbolt flashed. After the first battle started quickly and lightly, the entire training ground was stained with the lightning of the two before even five moves had passed.
Since the audience is the strongest fighting race in history, the shock wave was no problem.
The thunderbolts of battle kings and the ordinary warriors formed a thick protective shield over the entire training ground.
Of course, as long as it's not really violating the rules of sibling rivalry. The two cannot use their own skills such as their decisive killing moves and secret moves.
It would be possible if either side had more overwhelming skills, but the difference between Teto and Jin was not that much.
Therefore, the two had to fight using only the level of energy that would not kill each other.
Naturally, it was inevitable that it would be a battle of technique against technique, not power against power.
"I can't use my lightning bolts properly, so I'll lose if I'm squeamish."
"It's over if the brother Jin takes the distance once."
"It seems almost impossible to get that distance."
As he said, Jin couldn't close the distance with Teto. As the battle lengthened, the range of pressure from Teto's spear increased, and Jin's area narrowed.
'I expected that the difference would be less than this if we fought with pure weapon skills at a similar level of usable power.'
It wasn't.
The spear of Teto, who described himself as the weakest, was difficult to come to his senses as he first predicted.
"Kekeke, this time to the left! Actually right!"
The scars increased.
"Left, right, left! left! Strong, medium and weak! oh, good block. But you couldn't avoid the thighs, right? Oh, it's too bad. Brother Jin, you have a cut on your thigh and then on your right cheek!"
Teto's nasty expression and way of speaking made it seem like the heat was spreading.
It is not an illusion.
Jin actually felt like his anger was about to explode all of a sudden. And each time his anger deepened like a snowball, Jin's eyes were opened and body became lighter.
Cagan!
The sword and spear stuck close due the attraction of the Plutonian sword Oppression, which the two men simultaneously opened.
Teto deliberately used oppression together to further weaken Jin while keeping their weapons attached.
With the weapons tied this way, both would be forced to exchange punches with their free arm.
"Brother Jin is a little weak in hand-to-hand combat, right? So right after we became real brothers, you challenged the brother Shaku to hand-to-hand combat and ended up getting a lot of kicks. And I, of course, have bigger fists than brother Shaku!"
Puck, puck!
Teto pulled the spear stick and slammed his fist into Jin's chin. Jin also punched out for a counterattack, but there was a gap in Jin's and Teto's physical strength.
It was the part that the brothers found strange.
'Why doesn't he use Multa's runes? Brother Jin isn't a person who passes the victory so easily.'
'The unique demonic nature is not revealed. Doesn't it look like he was beaten almost aimlessly?'
Anger.
After the sparring with Teto started, demonicization suddenly began to progress. Jin was unable to focus on the battle because he was resisting that very thing.
To be precise, he wasn't paying attention at all. Jin had already lost his reason.
All of the battle kings except for Teto recognized this fact.
"It seems unreasonable to check Brother Jin's skills any longer. I'd like to stop it for now."
As Beliz was about to step out, Baltirok grabbed her by the shoulder.
"No, let's watch a little longer. Sister 7th battle king."
"The lightning bolts that form Brother Jin's oppression are rapidly fading, Brother 1st battle king. The 12th battle king brother is not aware of Brother Jin's condition, so he is careless. If Brother Jin lifts the oppression, Sigmund will stab Brother Teto in the chest."
"Still, I want to trust Brother Jin. Sister battle god must have foreseen this situation...…."
Baltirok, who had been talking until there, threw himself hastily.
It was the same with the other Battle kings. What Beliz feared happened.
In the end, Jin's oppression was released, and Sigmund was flying into Teto's chest with the lightning bolts that exceeded the law of brethren duel.
No matter how fast the battle kings were, the speed was unstoppable. In the first place, the distance between Jin and Teto was only one step.
"Hup!"
The reason Teto was unaware of Jin's condition unlike the other battle kings was because he was so focused.
Also, as his brother, he had faith in Jin. Teto only spoke meanly as he expressed himself, but he loved and trusted his brethren more than anyone else.
Teto was confident that no matter what happened during the sparring, Jin would never stab him.
"Ho, ho, Whoo...…!"
Fortunately.
The brethren rushed forward, confirming that Jin's sword stopped right before stabbing Teto in the chest.
Jin barely regained his senses and gasped for breath, and the battle king brethren who rushed in also sighed in relief and wiped their hearts.
Limp!
Jin, who reflexively threw away his sword, was sweating as if it were raining.
And while his brethren surrounded him and hugged him and gave words of comfort, Jin was thinking about one thing.
Teto's spear, which had been burdensome, was clearly visible the moment when demonicization began.
