Swordmaster's Youngest Son

Chapter 673

C673

Yona Runcandel.

Jin was about to lose his nerves as soon as he saw that figure and her ruthless eyes filled with chaos and murderous intent.

However, showing any vulnerability, even for a moment, in front of a being like her was nothing short of suicide.

Damn it, what have those bastards done to you, Elder Sister?

Jin’s love and affection for his only younger sister were much deeper and greater than his hatred for Rosa and the Garden of Swords, which had emerged in an instant.

The reason Jin could maintain his sanity at that moment was because he was solely focused on protecting his sister from guilt and pain.

When his sister regained consciousness, he didn’t want her to feel any pain or guilt he might have caused her.

Kang! Clang!

Bradamtante’s blade swiftly blocked Yona’s sword.

Yona showed a moment of confusion, as if she hadn’t expected to be blocked so easily, and Dante didn’t miss that opportunity.

“Jin...!”

However, Dante didn’t take advantage of Yona’s moment of doubt.

He knew better than anyone what Yona meant to Jin, and he couldn’t hurt her carelessly.

Dante missed the chance to end the situation as soon as it began, so he didn’t know what could happen if he failed to subdue Yona quickly.

She could start an invasion in another tunnel while buying time, or she could indiscriminately massacre the people of the city if she managed to escape from the two of them.

In other words, Dante thought of his friend’s feelings before the empire’s safety.

As the supreme ruler of the empire, it was a decision he should never have made, but as Dante, he had no choice.

“Thank you, Dante.”

“Hmph, how should we proceed? I ask you this question too often, and it embarrasses me.”

Jin quickly regained his composure.

He felt a stronger anger than ever, but at the same time, his mind and inner self grew even stronger.

From now on, if he made the slightest mistake, he would lose Yona.

‘She’s in a state of loss of reason due to chaos energy, and the Prophet probably did something to deceive her even further.’

Maybe that’s why she was duller than the Yona Jin knew.

Although she was more destructive, it was clear that Yona’s unique movement, like a shadow, had faded.

Can she be subdued?

After two more attacks, Jin came to a conclusion.

“Dante, if we both get a little hurt, we can subdue her.”

If it was about killing, it would be possible without suffering so much damage.

For Dante, killing Yona was obviously the right thing to do, and Jin was making an unreasonable request.

“Alright.”

But Dante didn’t hesitate. If it had been Ron in the tunnel, he would have made the same request to Jin.

“I owe you a lot.”

“That’s ridiculous. I have a long way to go before I can repay what I’ve received from you.”

Jin put Shadow Energy on Bradamante.

However, even though such thick Shadow Energy shone like fire and pointed at Yona, she showed no reaction.

Is it because of her lack of reason? If it were my sister, she would have a strong negative reaction to the energy.

Yona calmly held her own sword against Bradamante, which was covered in Shadow Energy.

The sword was also not Yona’s ‘Death’ sword.

At first glance, it resembled ‘Death,’ but it was longer, and above all, it lacked the characteristic creepy feeling.

“Hup!”

‘If it were Elder Sister Yona, she would have suffered at least once. Even if it wasn’t the prophet but someone like Heluram or Gliek who directly consumed her, by now, she would have suffered from fighting me...’

The Yona Jin knew is that kind of person.

Yona is always in danger because of chaos, and she had killed people without reason for a long time, and because of chaos, she always made others afraid.

But she was a person who overcame that horrible chaos and finally learned to love Jin, the family, and people.

She was the one who constantly greened roses for Jin, even while hearing a voice telling her to kill humans.

“Dante, go outside.”

“Jin, are you thinking of abandoning Lady Yona? Don’t do that!”

“I have no intention of doing that. I’m buying time, so go and bring Euria for me.”

“Princess Euria?”

“It may not be Elder Sister Yona. I’ll explain later. I can’t face her alone for long.”

It was natural for the two to prepare for serious injuries if they wanted to subdue Yona.

Because they were only taking the hits.

“I’ll be back as soon as possible!”

As soon as Dante turned around, Yona’s sword lunged at them without hesitation.

Jin vaguely cut the visible sword and blocked Yona.

“I used to feel like I was going crazy due to a dirty and ominous feeling, but now I feel like something is easing, and my head is clearing. I have a feeling you’re not the real one.”

Pik-!

Yona’s sword grazed Jin’s cheek and passed by.

That’s how he fought alone against Yona for about ten minutes.

Jin was covered in blood, but his breathing and movements hadn’t changed at all.

Instead, his senses, which had been scattered, were now focused on Yona.

“Jin!”

“Jin oppa!”

Dante bit his lip at seeing Jin covered in blood, but Euria saw there were no deep wounds and didn’t panic as much.

“And outside?”

This time, Jin asked Dante.

“It’s fine, you’re fine!”

“Jin oppa is fine. And that person is...”

Euria focused for a moment, activating Azmil’s power, her eyes glowing green as she perceived Yona’s truth.

“She’s not Yona unni!”

“A clone like Joshua?”

“I don’t think so, just... a soulless combat doll. That’s what it seems to me.”

“Are you sure she’s not Elder Sister Yona?”

“Absolutely not.”

Upon Euria’s confirmation, Jin’s knees gave way, and he knelt on one knee on the ground.

Of course, the fake Yona took advantage of this moment and lunged at Jin, intending to finish him off, and Dante, horrified, shot his sword to protect Jin.

But Yona’s sword was faster than Dante’s.

However, while kneeling, Jin swung Bradamante, blocking the fake Yona’s sword and then cut her neck.

“Yes... that seemed right. There was no way Elder Sister Yona would do this.”

The headless fake Yona twisted for a moment before disappearing into the air.

In her place, a black lump remained.
