The Red Owl couldn't teleport directly to Tikan, the designated return coordinates.
Originally, Red Owl and Mort were not affected by chaos particles, but the chaos of Rosa that covered Kalon was so thick that it exceeded those standards.
It had crash-landed multiple times in unnamed forests, seas, and islands.
The Red Owl's hull was corroded with chaos, and every time it attempted a spatial-jump, the power source emitted an uneasy noise.
'According to the manual, there's a high probability that we'll eventually reach the designated coordinates as long as the power core and the cockpit aren't completely destroyed... but...'
The problem was Talaris.
Heat like a fireball was surging from her unconscious body.
Her pulse was unstable, and the backflow reaction was so severe that it sometimes discharged her aura randomly.
She needed treatment as soon as possible.
Jin wanted to send Talaris first to the healers on Shuri. However, even Shuri had to wander for a long time to find her way from current location.
Jin had no choice but to continue attempting spatial jumps, hoping to land near the Holy land or make it to Tikan.
The ship made five spatial jumps but all were failures. The red owl kept falling on the wrong ground.
However, it was clear that they were moving away from Huphester, and the chaos sticking to the hull was falling off with each jump, and the power source was becoming more stable. It felt like they would arrive at Tikan soon if they kept going like this.
Just as he was about to press the button in the center of the cockpit again, Jin heard a familiar voice out of nowhere.
(Eh, Jin!?)
It was Lingling's voice. It was very faint, but it was definitely Lingling.
"... Lingling!?"
Jin looked around as if possessed by a ghost at the moment. Naturally, he couldn't see Lingling anywhere.
But it wasn't just Lingling's voice that he could hear.
(What, why are you suddenly in my head!? No, more than that, can you hear my voice?)
"I can hear you. Can you hear me too?"
(Uh, I feel sick!)
(What, Brother Jin!?)
(Brother Jin!? Didn't Brother Kaio just get summoned?)
(Where is brother Jin!? Lingling, are you really talking to Jin right now?)
(How am I supposed to explain this? Suddenly, I saw that idiot's face in my mind and heard his voice. He was babbling while pressing some button. There's a white-haired human collapsed next to him.)
(Button? Babbling? Collapsed human? Is brother Jin in danger?)
"Brethren! Can't you hear my voice?"
(Can't you hear that voice?)
(Are you playing a prank, Lingling?)
(Ah, this is frustrating! I'm telling the truth! Jin is really hearing your voices.)
For a few seconds, there was confusion and mixed messages between Jin, Lingling, and the Plutonians.
Jin could hear everyone's voices, but it seems Laprarosa wasn't able to hear him.
(Brethren, Lingling is not joking. It seems like he's really hearing brother Jin's voice.)
(Ohh. What is going on, Sister battle god!)
As Vahn was connected to Lingling internally, she immediately recognized the situation.
(It seems like there's some kind of resonance between Jin and Lingling for some reason. Lingling, please relay brother Jin's message to us. Brother Jin, what about outside? You summoned brother 10th battle king, was there anything you couldn't handle?)
Jin briefly explained what had happened in the Garden of Swords.
(The human world is turning into hell. It would be great if we could go outside right away to help our brother.)
"You've already helped enough, sister battle god."
(Still, seeing this sudden connection between Laprarosa and the human world, it seems like the day we go outside is not too far away.)
Wavelength-tracking synchronous spatial-jump.
Jin suspected that this sudden "connection" had something to do with it.
"Probably because of the flying ship that my companion built. It seems like the flying ship accidentally caught the wavelength of Laprarosa."
His speculation was correct. The reason the red owl caught Laprarosa's wavelength was a kind of error.
(First of all, I heard that your companion's condition is critical. If it is a white-haired person, it's probably Talaris Endorma, who has saved you many times, brother.)
"Yes, the internal injuries are serious."
(Close your eyes, try to concentrate. Maybe I can help her through Lingling and you, brother.)
Vahn's words were no different. She was trying battle god fusion. Jin immediately closed his eyes and focused on the resonance point with Lingling.
Then, just like it happened in Laprarosa, Jin felt his illuminating heart lighten up and he could feel Vahn's senses and energy gradually being transmitted.
'It's a little weaker than when I did it in Laprarosa ... but battle god fusion is clearly achieved...…!'
Perhaps because of the dimensional distance between the human world and Laprarosa, the sense of Vahn was not completely conveyed. But that alone was enough to examine Talaris' condition.
(Both the meridians and blood vessels are damaged. The divine power with the attribute of cold energy is preventing the worst-case scenario. But at this rate, she'll reach her limit within an hour or two.)
"If that happens...."
(She may not die, but she will no longer be able to manifest the same level of power as before.)
Until they entered battle god fusion, Jin could only assume that the situation was not that serious, but now Jin could accurately perceive what Vahn was feeling.
(Follow my senses and infuse energy into her body. Erase the cold energy that seems about to break off immediately and fill the void with lightning energy.)
Jin followed Vahn's words and placed his hand on Talaris' back. Through the tangled blood vessels, Jin's energy slowly dug into her injuries.
Even though it was just for a moment, Jin broke into a cold sweat. While unconscious, Talaris was spewing out black blood clots, and Jin felt like he was walking on a tightrope over her life.
But Jin believed in Vahn. Unlike his anxious self, he didn't feel the slightest worry inside Vahn.
"Huh...."
Eventually, the feverish heat that was melting her whole body subsided, and Talaris let out a warm breath.
Although Talaris had not regained consciousness, she now appeared to be sleeping peacefully.
(Well done. But, Brother Jin, this is just a temporary solution. You must start full-scale treatment within at least three days.)
"Okay, sister battle god!"
Jin wanted to spend more time with his brethren, but the situation didn't allow for it.
Jin had to try spatial jumps again. Fortunately, he passed the hurdle of Talaris, but it was never safe until he returned to Tikan.
Even after returning, there were still issues. The power that Rosa Runcandel possessed, which he had experienced firsthand, overwhelmed all other major factions.
Jin had to hurry up and inform his companions about this fact and prepare for the future.
Maybe he would need to make the decision to evacuate the entire Tikan.
If Rosa's Runcandel immediately started pursuing Tikan with all its might, Jin and his companions would have no way of stopping it.
This story applied not only to Tikan but to all other factions as well. No matter how formidable the hidden power they possessed, it seemed unlikely that they could surpass Rosa's Runcandel.
They had already brought a fleet close to their full strength, but suffered a defeat.
Jin didn't witness the battle to the end, but he couldn't imagine that Rosa had been defeated.
"Brethren, Lingling. I'll be going now. I will investigate this coincidence as soon as I return. As sister battle said, this coincidence seems to be a big clue for the brethren to come out."
The frequency of their fusion was decreasing. Vahn was withdrawing her strength before Jin could release it.
(Go, Brother Jin. We will wait for the day when we can get in touch again.)
(Hmph, go away quickly! Don't cause trouble somewhere else.)
After saying goodbye to his brethren, Jin pressed the button on the red owl again.
* * *
February 27, 1803.
It took Jin two days before he could arrive at Tikan.
He made ten or so Spatial jumps since he stabilized Talaris's internal wounds, but he never connected to Laprarosa again.
Talaris was evacuated to the Holy Land as soon as they arrived, and Jin received information collected by his other companions.
Fortunately. After that day, Runcandel hadn't sent any troops outside.
"We're not sure if they're not sending or if they can't."
"I believe it's the latter. Runcandel needs time to recover its strength, and more importantly, using that much power must have come with a terrible cost."
"I agree, Lord Jin. However, reports indicate that over 50% of the entire continent of the Huphester Alliance, including the Garden of Swords and the city of Kalon, has been consumed by chaos. It happened in just two days... between the time when you escaped and now."
It was no exaggeration to say that the entire continent of Huphester was being engulfed by chaos. And all this erosion happened in just two days.
The internal situation was entirely uncertain. It wasn't even possible to enter the lands where erosion hadn't yet occurred.
"Perhaps the Garden of Swords plans to consume the entire world in this manner. If the whole world falls into chaos, there would be no need for them to track us or any other forces..."
Zipfel and Kinzelo. They continued their all-out attack after Jin's escape, but eventually decided to retreat, having suffered significant losses.
"According to the report received at noon today, only three fleets' Zipfel appeared over the territorial waters of the Lutero Magic Federation."
"If that's true, then it means they lost half of their six fleets. Has there been any confirmation regarding Kinzelo?"
"Yes, but there have been no reports of a retreat from any expected route. It is assumed that they retreated through Orgal's ability. In that case, their situation might be better than Zipfel's."
Unlike Jin, his companions understood the situation solely through the reports of Seven-Colored peacock after the battle.
All of the reports were shocking. No one had expected Rosa's Runcandel to achieve victory against Jin and the other factions.
Furthermore, Rosa Runcandel was no longer acting matriarch.
She had announced to the world that she was now Runcandel's "patriarch" as soon as all her enemies retreated.
First of all, it was necessary to meet the leaders of Zipfel and Kinzelo.
"The two major factions will contact us soon. They probably have the same thoughts as I do. Please inform me immediately."
"I understand, Lord Jin."
"And what about the knights who escaped... Is there still no news?"
The knights who resisted Rosa until the end.
In the midst of their anxiety over whether knights were alive or dead, Jet burst into the meeting room.
"My lord! The survival of the rescued knights has been confirmed...! Miss Cuicantelle is personally bringing them back!"
Jin closed his eyes, sweeping his hand over his chest.
If they had all died, there would have been very few left in the world who could be called Runcandel.
