Chapter 246: The Great Desert Battle for Mitra (18)
KRAAAASH!
Pibil’s main cannon struck the dimensional gate once again.
Jin flinched, eyes fixed on the gate as the enemy’s electric brain projectiles scattered radially upon impact.
If Teto and Garmund were escaping Laprarosa like the previous Twin Kings, they risked taking the full brunt of those unfiltered electric brain blasts within the passage.
But unlike Jin, Beliz and Linpa showed no sign of surprise.
“If Teto and Garmund are coming through the rift, then the Twin Gods must have lent their strength again. So don’t worry too much, Jin. No matter how powerful that damn weapon is, it couldn’t have pierced through the Twin Gods’ brainwaves, right?”
Indeed, Pibil’s main cannon hadn’t hit the passage directly but dispersed its energy because it collided with the protective brainwave barrier.
A vivid blue brainwave was surging through the dimensional rift, spreading like a sea fog and pushing back the enemy’s electric brain attacks.
The rift itself was rapidly widening, as if a massive hand was gripping it fiercely.
‘Beliz is right. Besides, Teto and Garmund are Twin Kings. They can handle this no problem.’
The enemy’s Namyeong tribe seemed to share a similar assumption.
The combat prowess of the Namyeong Twin Kings had already been proven by Beliz and Linpa, and the power of the Twin Gods was unquestionable. Meanwhile, the aerial fortress and fleet kept ramping up their output.
SWOOSH! HAAAACK!
From Sigmund and the Twin Kings’ greatswords, sword energy poured forth. Two streaks of blue brainwave surged alongside Jin’s golden lightning, charging toward Pibil’s front.
Normally, Pibil wouldn’t have needed to raise a shield against three attackers.
Aside from Patl, who was focused on tracking the hyperspace, the aerial fortresses Rital and Vesel were providing cover.
But Rital was already under assault from Luna and Dante, and Vesel was being attacked by the Second Squadron.
So Pibil had no choice but to divert power from the main cannon to the shield to face the three attackers.
“Simat! Planning to hide inside the aerial fortress again? Come out, you bastard! I’m curious to see how you, the so-called ‘Creation,’ measure up against us Twin Gods!”
Beliz was the first to approach Pibil’s shield, swinging her greatsword like a hammer while gripping the shield with just her toes.
Linpa cleared the space by swatting away incoming electric brain projectiles, and Jin moved closer to the rift, sensing the energy of his brothers.
Teto and Garmund’s brainwaves were intensifying rapidly. Beyond the passage, it almost seemed like Ban was there, protecting them.
Soon after, two Namyeong kings appeared through the passage.
“GRAAAH!”
“Ugh!”
As soon as they escaped into Insero, Teto and Garmund coughed out screams.
“Teto brother! Garmund brother!”
Both were in bad shape. Even from a distance, the unstable rotation of their brainwaves within their mental armor was palpable.
“Heh heh, haha, ugh! Cough! Jin brother!”
“Oh, Jin! cough”
Despite hacking up blood, Teto and Garmund waved cheerfully at Jin.
Teto even let out his trademark lighthearted laugh, but Jin gritted his teeth and moved swiftly toward his brothers.
The aerial fortress’s main cannon was still firing.
SWOOSH!
Fortunately, Jin stood before his newly arrived brothers just as the cannonball was about to strike the ground, swinging Sigmund to deflect its trajectory.
The cannonball veered off diagonally, passing by Jin and his brothers before crashing into the trio of demons.
“Brothers, what the hell is going on…!”
Beliz and Linpa, having just noticed the brothers’ condition, narrowed their eyes in concern.
Garmund and Teto had been injured inside Laprarosa due to the pressure from dimensional distortions and external attacks.
Especially during the last battle, Simat’s Red Sea Sword had inflicted the worst damage.
It was fortunate for the Namyeong tribe that the passage suddenly closed, preventing the Red Sea Sword from maintaining its effect.
“Ah! The coughing’s finally easing. The cannon blast didn’t cause these injuries. Seeing you like this is such a relief, Jin brother. Haha.”
“Beliz brother and Linpa brother are here too! And now we finally get to see what those mysterious bastards attacking us actually look like…”
Teto and Garmund wiped the smiles off their faces and surveyed the battlefield.
It was the first time they had seen their enemies up close.
“Brothers, how’s Laprarosa? Are the others okay?”
“To be honest, many brothers are hurt. We’re under near-constant one-sided attacks from beyond the dimension, and even without that, the spatial distortions have been knocking out the foot soldiers left and right.”
“But thanks to the Twin Gods, we’re holding on!”
“Jin brother’s been trying hard to free us. Hmm! But we’ll have to save the long story for later. Those damn bastards keep firing their cannons. By the way, those demons? They’re demons, right? Are they our enemies too? They don’t seem to be affected by our attacks, strangely.”
“They’ll be enemies eventually, but for now, they’re closer to allies.”
The three dodged the cannon fire, moving with swift footwork.
Jin briefly summarized the current situation to Teto and Garmund.
“So, we have to throw the liberation device through the passage into Laprarosa.”
“Is that even possible, Garmund brother?”
“Hmm, the Twin Gods’ shield is so vast… Even for them, it’d be hard to visually identify that device.”
“Besides, now that I’m out here, the passage isn’t a straight line. Those Namyeong bastards mostly attack the edges of the rift. If the passage were straight, the attacks wouldn’t be so chaotic. Sometimes red brainwaves even rise from the ground.”
All of this had been discussed during the meeting.
But the fact that the passage led to a ‘random space’ inside Laprarosa also meant the device could suddenly appear right before the Namyeong tribe’s eyes.
Without even passing through Ban’s shield.
[Huh? Look at this. Just like Margiela said. They haven’t even done anything themselves yet, and the Namyeong tribe has already been summoned again.]
[Yeah, Sribi. Orgal’s head isn’t rotten yet. He made a wise call.]
Passing by, Sribi and Karmash spoke as they watched the Namyeong tribe.
Meanwhile, Pibil aimed once more at Jin, but Jin twisted the cannonball’s trajectory slightly by unleashing golden lightning from his sword, neutralizing the attack with relatively little force.
It was a trick he’d learned from frequent battles with the aerial fortress.
“Whoa? What’s that golden lightning? Teach me too!”
Teto said the same thing as Beliz as soon as he saw it, while Garmund looked at Jin with a proud, admiring expression.
“By the way, our Jin brother! You’ve stepped into the realm of nothingness in such a short time. You’re clearly a Namyeong Supreme Sword now.”
The breathing of Garmund and Teto was quickly stabilizing.
Though their external wounds weren’t healing like rapid regeneration, the unstable brainwaves inside their mental armor had settled into a steady rhythm.
It was as if they were resonating with the Twin Gods.
Teto, Garmund, and Jin all felt it.
“Ha! Being next to Jin brother fills me with strength, just like when resonating with the Twin Gods.”
“Having united with the Twin Gods, Jin brother must have naturally learned resonance.”
The blue brainwaves clinging to Teto’s spear and Garmund’s greatsword deepened in color.
It was hard to believe these were the same men who had been coughing up blood moments ago—their aura was now solid and majestic.
In response, the aerial fortresses increased the density of their electric brainwave emissions, and the fleet moved swiftly, bombarding the ground with main cannon fire.
Teto and Garmund grinned.
“Even with five Twin Kings, these enemies don’t back down! I thought they were just cowardly scum when we fought inside, but they’re worthy opponents face to face. Still, as the Twin Gods have sworn, you will be wiped out in the end, sub-species!”
“Bring it on, you sub-species bastards!”
As Teto and Garmund leapt forward, Linpa and Beliz moved nearby, clearing the way.
Unlike his brothers, Jin didn’t leap directly onto the fleet but took a position on the ground.
Though the Twin Kings moved more, Jin was clearly the center.
Namyeong Sword: Golden Thunder
Golden Cloud
Golden spheres formed along the trajectory of the Twin Kings’ leaps.
In an instant, there were over thirty.
Each sphere was roughly the size of a Namyeong ship, but they didn’t obstruct the brothers’ movements at all.
Even though it was their first time seeing the Golden Cloud sword technique, the brothers moved through the spheres as if they had practiced together before.
The golden lightning emitted from the spheres passed dangerously close to the brothers without harming them.
It struck only the enemy’s shields.
Whenever the Golden Cloud cracked a shield, the brothers thrust their weapons through the gaps.
For the Namyeong tribe, the sudden arrival of two more Twin Kings forced them to focus their full strength on Jin’s side.
Teto and Garmund joining wasn’t just adding two superhumans—it was a whole new level.
Two warriors who could fight perfectly in sync with the Namyeong tribe’s style.
Being a successor to the Twin Gods meant that when Ban was absent, the successor held the same rank as the Twin Gods.
Before the Twin King War, this was mostly a title.
But now, Jin truly possessed the ability to fill the Twin Gods’ absence in practice.
Commanding the Underworld Clan on the front lines, nothing was out of place.
The Underworld Sword, Golden Thunder Technique—Pa Cheon Style One.
The moment Jin swung his sword toward the sky, his brothers split sharply to the left and right.
Through the gap, a massive golden sword energy surged upward, sweeping through the enemy Underworld fleet.
The protective shields, already heavily damaged by the Golden Cloud and the Fighting Kings’ techniques, could no longer defend the fleet.
Some flagships scrambled to evade, clinging tightly to the airborne fortress, but most of the other ships were engulfed by the sword energy and exploded.
Yet, the Pa Cheon Style One pressed on relentlessly, heading straight for Pibil.
In the end, Simat had no choice but to step out onto the bridge and unleash his Heavenly Sword himself—exactly what Jin had wanted.
By drawing him outside the airborne fortress, the Third Squad could move the device more easily.
“Heh, Owl, once that captain with the red armor is completely distracted by Jin, we have to move quickly. Let’s go now!”
