"It was a sensation similar to when I dealt with Ron-nim, who fell into demonization..."
Jin had a similar experience in the Abyss of Gliek.
At that moment, Jin felt his powers growing as Chaos and Shadow Energy mingled.
That power seemed to vanish after the battle with Ron, who had fallen into demonization, but it remained as a stain in the form of invasion and harassment on Jin.
Jin's heart pounded as if it were about to burst.
He couldn't hear the voices of his surrounding brothers.
Jin's head buzzed as if it were submerged in water, and meanwhile, strangely heightened senses formed an unwanted fighting spirit.
Jin had just nearly fatally wounded his brother, but he wanted to keep on fighting.
It wasn't easy for him to suppress that feeling, as if he were under the influence of a strong drug.Jin wouldn't have been able to stop his sword if the person in front of him were a stranger instead of his brother.
Since the end of the sword emperor battle, Jin had never fought against an opponent strong enough to awaken his demonic nature.
He hadn't even warmed up after the battle with Qwaul, so he wasn't going through the same state now.
Good and evil, justice and apostle, light and darkness.
Such conflicting desires caused wild ripples within Jin.
Jin thought he had managed to keep it under control, but his demonic energy kept writhing like a fierce snake.
If I use this power, I'll be able to enter the transcendental state at once...
As a Warrior, there couldn't be a sweeter thing than that.
It seemed that if he decided to "do it" just once, his body would be filled with immeasurable power like the great sea.
It was to the point he felt like someone had blessed him. It seemed that even the uncontrollable nature inherent in demonization would disappear if he fully accepted his power.
Why should he reject it?
When the stream of consciousness reached that point, Jin's demonization amplified even further.
The voices of the brothers ceased to be heard as if they had been crushed.
Even the figures of the brothers looked like black forms.
To the point that Jin regretted having thrown away the sword.
The brothers, who began to appear as black figures, started to feel threatening.
Jin felt he had to protect himself from those evil spirits at that moment.
"Ah...!"
Jin screamed and shook off one of his brother's outstretched hands.
It was Beliz's hand.
As Jin shook it with all his might, Beliz's hand would have been cut or torn off if it weren't for the Battle King of the Tribe of Legends.
Beliz remained unfazed and grabbed Jin again.
Beliz's physical strength ranks among the highest of the battle kings. Even so, he had to strain to hold Jin's arm.
"Hold Brother Jin!"
The rest of the Battle Kings also joined in the suppression.
The reason they were able to firmly subdue Jin despite receiving punches and kicks with monstrous power was because they were the Battle Kings of the Tribe of Legends.
"Brother, wake up!"
The suppression led to a very tough situation.
They had no choice but to break Jin's limbs and hold him down so tightly that his body was crushed.
Jin vomited blood and screamed, but he recovered in an instant.
He even grew stronger with each recovery.
As the harsh repression continued, some of the ordinary brothers seemed to tightly shut their eyes, as if they couldn't bear to watch.
It was because it was difficult for them to bear seeing other brothers tearing apart their brother's body.
Jin had no choice but to stop.
The suppression by the Battle Kings was limited.
Because they didn't know how long Jin's body would last.
"Brother Jin!"
"Cheuk, kuh...!"
Soon, Jin coughed up black blood and stopped the onslaught.
At the last moment, when demonization was reaching its peak, the blood of the Goddess of Battle clung back to Jin.
Even after that, the Battle Kings couldn't release the hands holding Jin for a while.
They all felt as if they were holding a bomb about to explode.
"Are you okay?"
Jin lay face down and looked at his brothers' concerned faces.
At that moment, the brothers let out a sigh of relief, but Jin felt his heart breaking as he apologized.
"Brothers..."
"Kekeke, Brother Jin. Don't feel guilty!"
While the brothers chose their words carefully, Teto was the first to shout.
"It's poison. What's inside, Brother Jin? The mind? Anyway, things aren't very well now, so if you're engulfed in guilt, you'll probably be weaker, right? Then, naturally, the will to reject the chaos invasion will weaken. So, we have to get rid of those feelings even for reasons of efficiency."
"Oh, why is the Twelfth Battle King brother talking about something plausible? Will the Second Battle King brother's hardships finally shine?"
"The Twelfth Battle King brother is right. You need to calm down, Brother Jin."
Jin made eye contact with his brothers for a few seconds before nodding.
Instead of feeling guilty, he chose to feel grateful.
He had almost killed his brother, and it wasn't any different that he could have such an easily changeable heart even though it was a nuisance.
Brothers don't count the silver.
It was because Jin was also a person who followed the order of the Legends.
If the target he almost harmed were another companion, it wouldn't have been easy for Jin to take it lightly.
"Huh, thank you. Brothers."
"Take a sip of cold water."
"Right, let's think clearly, clearly. If we were in your shoes, Brother Jin, what would have happened if it were the human world?"
"I don't know how many times my limbs were broken."
"Well, you were cut dozens of times when you first came. In a way, it's better than then."
Instead of getting serious, Jin and the Legends lightened the mood.
Then, Jin felt the remnants of demonization sinking quickly.
It wasn't the first time the Legends experienced a case like Jin's.
They knew perfectly well that the mental aspect was what influenced demonization the most.
"Brother Jin."
"Yes, First Battle King Brother."
"My brother, you are undergoing rehabilitation training right now, so to speak. You fell once, and you may fall again and again in the future."
Baltirok put a hand on Jin's shoulder.
"Every time brother needs to, like now, you just have to quickly pick yourself up and get up. You shouldn't worry about why you fell or if you hurt someone when you fell."
"And our job is to keep extending a hand and lifting our brother up every time he falls."
"It's amazing, Brother Teto keeps saying the right things...?".
Jin nodded. It was so good to have warm and reliable brothers and a hometown.
"Take up your sword again and assume your stance."
It had only been a few minutes since he had almost stabbed Teto.
The brothers seemed completely oblivious to that fact.
"Do you mean right now?"
"You shouldn't be afraid of going crazy again. The Sister Goddess of Battle must have foreseen this situation, and yet she told us to check your abilities and condition."
"That means the God of Battle sister believes in Brother Jin just like the other brothers, and it probably means nothing will happen if you keep running like a madman...?"
"Maybe?"
It's true that Jin loves and trusts his brothers a lot, but sometimes he felt embarrassed by the Legend's insensitive behavior.
"Brother Tantel! Brother, hurry up and ask the Sister Goddess of Battle. Now that the situation is like this, can we continue?"
At Garmund's words, Tantel left the training ground. Tantel quickly returned and nodded.
"Go ahead!"
"That's right. Now that I think about it, we made a little commotion. The Sister Goddess of Battle told us to do it."
"That's right. The Sister Goddess of Battle told us to do it, so everything will be fine, right?"
"Well, everyone says it like they're not sure. Are you really okay?"
"Who was next? The one who won rock, paper, scissors before? Oh, it was me!"
"Brother Garmund, why do you lie? The 12th battle king brother was followed by the 2nd battle king brother. Then came Brother Baltirock, and the rest... Damn it, what was the order?"
"You can't even remember it all anyway, invalidate it and decide again with rock-paper-scissors."
"Aren't you going to let us in? The battle king brothers."
"Oh, even after seeing the situation! Ordinary warrior brothers should keep watching until Brother Jin's chaos is purified. Instead, let's watch the audience a little more closely. If Brother Jin goes mad again, we must quickly subdue him together."
There was no time to refuse.
Jin grabbed the Sigmund again and continued fighting.
The battle continued for four days.
During that period, Jin kept fighting with the Kings of Battle, except for sleeping (they even slept together in the training ground to prepare for a loser control commotion).
And he went through more than twenty attacks.
When Jin fell into the most serious commotion, he rioted to the point of destroying the training ground in half, and when he fell into the weakest, he ended up taking two punches to the chin.
'I have no energy in my body...'
He had been fighting so intensely that even the chaos seemed to drain his energy.
He was in a state where he didn't even have the strength to run.
The demonization hadn't really ended.
Just as Dante opened the door due to Gliek's temptation, in Jin's heart there was always a door that could be opened.
A temptation door that convinces you that you can become comfortable and strong if you open it.
The Kings of Battle also showed signs of being a little tired.
It wasn't just about sparring, but every time Jin lost control, they clung to Jin, so they had no choice but to be exhausted.
If I hadn't heard Dante talk about the temptation of Chaos...
And if I hadn't suffered the tragedy of Sword Emperor Castle.
'I would have opened it already.'
Jin trembled and a grinding noise clashed.
Jin stretched out his trembling hand and gripped the sword again.
"Who... is next?"
The Kings of Battle coughed and avoided Jin's gaze.
The Kings of Battle, who had made such a fuss saying they would fight first, now subtly yielded the turn to each other.
Ordinary warriors urged the Kings of Battle to approach one by one, as if they were reciting spells.
In the end, just as Teto, the youngest Battle King, was about to raise his battered body, a voice of salvation was heard from the other side of the training ground.
"Chaos Extraction Aid is complete, brothers!"
It was the voice of the Fifth Battle King Boras.
What happened while he was making the replacement for the extraction aid, so his whole body also got tanned.
The battle kings tried to honor Boras, hoping they could finally rest, but they corrected their posture when they saw the strong eyes of the Goddess of Batlle Vahn standing next to him.
And half said a word like this...
"Keep doing what you're doing, brothers".
