The moment the white stone was handed over, the Hairan’s war had no choice but to lose its meaning. In the first place, Jin would not have come here if it was a war about only handing over white stones.

“If the fight escalates further than this, I can't make the same proposal again with my authority. I just want to minimize unnecessary deaths.”

“Since Zipfel and I have sent support to our respective friends, it would be difficult to say that this war is just a battle between the Empire and Hairan. Unnecessary death? Was there such a thing between Runcandel and Zipfel? Isn't it fate that one day we have no choice but to fight until one side is completely perished?”

In the end, Laramaqua had no choice but to give up the negotiations.

“… You will regret it.”

“The talk is over, return to your side. And don't add anything to incur my grudge.”

Actually, it wasn't that Jin was really confident and went out so powerfully. The all-out war with Zipfel was too much of a burden for Jin.

No, beyond the burden, it was a dangerous development and there was no answer at all yet. Even so, it was no different that Jin did not back down.

‘It’s to the point where Zipfel first talks about an all-out war against Runcandel… It makes me reconsider how important the white stone is.'

White stone.

If the cursed item that was damaging his friend's clan name and pride was something that Zipfel had to acquire even if they were willing to go into an all-out war against Runcandel.

Then Jin must never back down. Jin didn't back down because he didn't want to back down, but he just held on because he couldn't.

It was no longer just a matter of sword emperor castle. If the white stone is a valuable item, Zipfel will definitely use it to take a leap forward. And stopping Zipfel is Runcandel's biggest mission.

Of course, it wasn't that Jin didn't believe it at all.

'My mother and the best swords of the clan must be watching the situation.'

The emperor revealed the existence of the white stone to the world, and Zipfel sent reinforcements even revealing the mass production ship.

There was no way Runcandel was not taking action on such a huge incident.

‘My mother would not have judged the value of the white stone yet, so she would have decided to wait and see. However, if Zipfel shows up with all its might, the clan will come forward as well. By all means.'

It’s the same with Talaris. She is still watching the battle as observer, but the moment she concludes that the white stone poses a great threat to the world in some form, she will fight alongside him. If Ron and Dante don't use the white stone as a drainage ditch, she will point her sword against Zipfel.

‘I don’t know about lord Ron, who is unconscious, but if it’s Dante, he would never make that choice. Even if he made this extreme choice, I can stop him. As long as that’s stopped, there will be no need for Madame Talaris to pressurize the sword emperor castle.'

Ron's condition was reported by the knights of Hairan on the way to the front. It was heartbreaking once again to think about how Dante would still have kept Ron, who could not wake up, at the sword emperor castle.

'Veradin.'

At the same time, Jin remembered another friend.

'I believe you are also doing something for Dante.'

He certainly will if his mind is sane. By all means, Jin hoped that Veradin would never become a war puppet and attack Hairan like in the mission to kill Barton. It's just too harsh for everyone.

Laramaqua turned around and transformed into his true form.

Battle resumed as soon as he repositioned himself in the air.

In an instant, the battlefield was filled with screams and binge sounds, as if all the short silence was lie.

Most of it was the screams of the mages and dragons of Zipfel, and the explosion that spread as their fleet was broken.

Along with Murakan, the power of the five sword saint stood out in particular.

Unlike Dante, they have a rigid body, so they suffocate their opponents with a flurry of secret techniques.

Including the Heavenly Isle, the successive secret techniques dazzled the night sky, and at times Jin's thunderbolts revealed its dignity.

The ground forces of the emperor's army could not narrow the siege anymore. It was because Amela's artillery support had not ceased, and Jin's comrades, including Valkas and Proch siblings, were still active in the rear and sides.

The beginning and middle battles of the war were advancing towards the victory of the sword emperor castle.

However, those fighting for Hairan were not excited. Rather, as the situation improved, they prepared for the next fight with a stronger determination.

It couldn't have ended like this.

Zipfel’s first reinforcements were now noticeably reduced in size. There were only about five mass-produced ships left, and most of the mages and dragons were killed. Even they seemed to be all doomed within a few minutes.

The leader, the blue dragon Laramaqua, was barely able to let out a roar with one wing missing.

‘At this point…… I think that's enough.'

Laramaqua thought. There was one matter that neither the imperial army nor the knights gathered for Hairan knew about.

In preparation for such a situation, the Zipfel had devised a method by combining unfinished technology and ancient dark magic.

Suddenly, the blood flowing from Laramaqua drew a magic circle in the air. No one recognized the moment it formed in melee war because it wasn't very big or bright, and it was drawn in an instant.

Jin and his comrades recognized it only after a few seconds after the magic circle was completed.

'What is that?'

‘The magic circle of blood……!?’

As soon as Murakan recognized the magic circle, he fired his breath at Laramaqua. Dark breath pierced his heart, and the blood that drew the magic circle was also scattered by that power.

The blood soon gathered again and continued to form of a magic circle. And it wasn't just Laramaqua’s blood that formed the bloody magic circle. The other survivors of Zipfel and the commander mages were drawing the same magic circles with their blood.

The catalyst for their magic circle is death. It is blooming non-stop throughout the battlefield.

Ching...…!

The magic circles of blood resonated and made a strange metal sound. The knights of the Hairan who is capable of aerial strikes, continued to attack the magic circle, but even if the magic circle was torn, it continued to maintain its shape and merged.

Soon, the combined magic circle took the form of a cube.

‘Cube?'

Suddenly, Jin remembered the Gaifa Islands. The artifact that Midor Elner used to summon Myuron Zipfel was also a perfect cube like this one.

'No way.'

Spatial-time device.

‘Is it possible to summon it by magic, not by artifact…!’

Ugh!

Laramaqua collapsed vomiting blood, and with his death the magic circle is completed.

There was no need to shout that it was dangerous. The allies in the sky already sensed something was wrong and retreating.

The magic circle started emitting dark red light. The light, which looked just like the sun on an ominous day, soon formed a huge portal.

The first thing to appear out of the dimensional portal was a ship that looked almost identical to Kozec.

Bzzzz...…!

The ship came out by distorting the space around it. A tremendous repulsive force sucked up the corpses and blood that still remained in the air, and created a strange noise.

Kozec, which was the only flying ship prior to the existence of mass-produced ships, is known to have different performance depending on the occupant.

It was the same with mass-produced ships. All flying ships could be just a means of transportation or a formidable battle weapon, depending on the mana of the occupant.

The mass-produced ships of Zipfel, which were destroyed earlier, did not show much activity.

However, the new fleet was driven by mages of a qualitatively different level. It was something that could be known without having to fight.

The density of mana surrounding the ship is completely different.

It was so dense that even knights who couldn't read mana could feel it all over their bodies.

'It's like Spectres.'

It was expected that more reinforcements would come.

Summoning through dark magic simply advanced the time, and it was not so shocking because Jin was aware of the appearance of the Spectres from the beginning.

Even so, the reason Jin let out a blank laugh was because there were too many of them.

The number of mass-produced warships that came out of the dimensional portal reached thirty. And all those mass-produced ships were being operated by the Spectres.

‘How in the world these guys have so many spectres……!?’

In his days as a reserve flagbearer, the first number of spectre that Jin encountered on the island of Veradin were all 15.

At that time, Jin was certain that their numbers would at least exceed twenty by considering the awkwardness of the link magic of the spectre.

However, there are over 30 ships in front of him, and each one of them was driven by the mana of at least two spectre.

Even a simple calculation meant that it’s approaching sixty or more, but that’s an impossible number without thinking deeply.

If Zipfel had maintained that level of spectre all along, Zipfel could have ended Runcandel as much as they want before the time of Chiron runs out.

Then there were two hypotheses.

‘Maybe they have inventing a training method recently that transcends the existing one, and the number of spectres has been rapidly increased….’

Or resurrected the dead.

The fact that Zipfel can resurrect humans through the Demon God’s orb was already proven long ago when he fought Andrei Zipfel.

Jin assumed it would be the latter.

‘Mages were resurrected with Myuron Zipfel in the Gaifa islands…… It's the same as back then.  It's just the size and quality is different.'

Ha ha ha!

Jin head a familiar voice from the first ship that appeared.

It was the voices of Midor Elner and Myuron Zipfel.

[It's a bad relationship, you guys are here too...!]

[I came back from hell twice, this Myuron...!]

Jin and Murakan simultaneously unleashed light speed thrust and breath before they could finish their words.

The power of Runcandel's secret technique and the breath of the Black Dragon tore up the protective shield and shattered the front of the ship on which Midor and Myuron were standing.

Midor and Myuron met their second and third deaths respectively, so vainly.

Only their ankles remained at the board of the ship after Jin and Murakan's strength swept the lead.

[They are not some kind of cockroach, but they keep coming out even if we kill them. You're only going to disappear after showing me something trivial.]

Murakan snorted and said.

But he and Jin knew. The reason why Zipfel’s idiot brothers died was because the spectres of other ships didn't protect them.

Despite being in the lead, Myuron and Midor were not their commanders.

The spectre perceived them as having the lowest skills, but they tolerated them because they were Kelliark’s son. It didn't matter if they were dead or not.

Because of this, the spectres silently raised their mana even though the lead fleet was damaged, and Myuron and Midor died.

'Those... It's definitely going to be tough.'

Jin gritted his teeth and thought.

I hope the resurrected spectres are not as good as the real ones that I had experienced the first time.
