Swordmaster’s Youngest Son Novel

[My ko-fi link:- https://ko-fi.com/punisher87 ]

Glyek, Kial, Seu, Nirgand, Morganiel.

The Five Kings of the Black Sea.

The expedition team of Chiron was finally engaged in battle with 'Seu' following Kial. It had been almost four years since the last battle with Kial, and now they were facing the King of the Black Sea once again.

The reason there hadn't been a single casualty in the expedition team so far was solely due to a person named Chiron Runcandel.

And Chiron had no intention of letting his daughter and knights die this time either. Additionally, the legendary monster Ozdock, who had now officially become a member of Runcandel, was also there.

"Vanessa, start withdrawing and protect Ozdock. He won't be able to withstand the aftermath from now on."

It was already two days into the battle with Seu.

Although Ozdock had left the battlefield and retreated far into the rear as soon as he encountered Seu, Chiron anticipated that the shock of the battle would reach that far.

"Understood, lord patriarch."

"Luna, do you think you can hold on longer?"

"I'm still perfectly fine, Father."

"You've grown."

"Because I am enduring the worst area of the world"

Even in the midst of continuing a life-and-death battle against Seu.

Chiron's expedition team had a completely different atmosphere from before. The pupils of the knights, who had been dying in chaos, were now full of vitality and vigor, just as they were before entering the Black Sea. And Chiron's enthusiasm for 'enjoying' the fight was evident.

In other words, it wasn't as dark and grim as before.

It was a completely different atmosphere from when they thought their only future was to die or become monsters while exploring the Black Sea.

Behind all of this was Chiron's enlightenment. Chiron had been freed from the demonic transformation just before the battle with Seu began.

When Vanessa left the battlefield, Luna and the Black Knights rearranged themselves behind Chiron.

[Chiron... How can you be so fine? After all, you must have been suffering from the demonization after killing my brother, Kial.]

Seu couldn't understand.

The Five Kings of the Black Sea had always been certain that Chiron would eventually become the same kind of existence as them. Chiron would strip away the will of the gods who had cast down the Five Kings of the Black Sea and eventually the Kings of the Black Sea would become a complete being.

The power he possessed was something that should never be possessed by humans.

"It tormented me for a long time. There were countless moments when I almost became the same existence as you."

[To overcome all those moments... What on earth could have made you do that? The will to transcend fate is like a consumable. Both immortals and mortals cannot achieve permanent transcendence. You've likely already used up all the will you had...]

"Permanent transcendence, I'm not sure about that yet. My lifespan isn't infinite, so when that's exhausted, won't my will also fall asleep? However, you won't have the chance to witness that."

Seu, you will perish here today.

Chiron laughed lightly, his words trailing behind. His dignified and imposing appearance held no trace of chaos anywhere.

"The only thing that can stop me is death. But there is no being left in this world that can kill me."

[Chiron, you...!]

Seu could only seethe with anger.

When facing Chiron, it was impossible not to believe those words. Now, he had no choice but to acknowledge the arrogance that claimed nothing could kill him.

Seu could only watch.

The first mortal to overcome the demonization, holding a sword aimed at him. Just looking at it tore and cut through his entire being, ripping apart his inner self.

When Kial was killed. The Kings of the Black Sea had interpreted it as Chiron taking one more step to unify them. Kial's demise was painful, but Chiron had absorbed all the chaos he possessed.

In the end, Chiron would become the same existence as them, bearing all of Kial's chaos and becoming one with them.

'How could this have happened... Brothers, now Chiron Runcandel has become... a being that will annihilate us, not a being that will unite us again...!'

Seu was accepting the fact that it was a miscalculation.

From the beginning, Chiron wasn't an incomplete existence like them, divided into five. He was a towering monster standing alone.

The moment Barisada moved, Seu emitted a massive chaos to hinder Chiron's approach. Seu had a form akin to a hound with a single eye, but that massive body instantly disappeared into the chaos, as if it had been swallowed up.

The Black Knights and Luna couldn't keep up with Seu's movements. Just like you can't locate a whale even if it's huge while it swims in the deep sea.

However, Chiron erased the chaos that had engulfed him, Luna, and the knights in an instant, revealing the space where Seu was trying to hide.

"I said you would perish in this place today."

Chiron's will became words, and those words became an inevitable verdict. Barisada was precisely piercing through the center of Seu's eye.

The eye had immediately healed, but Seu shivered at the fact that the chaos energy forming him had already diminished by nearly 10 percent.

No matter how transcendent the power of a Genesis Knight was, it couldn't eliminate the chaos of the Five Kings of the Black Sea at such a rapid pace. As far as Seu knew, only three beings could perform such a feat.

Witch Helluram, the God who created the gods.

And their biggest fragment, Morganiel.

[Does that mean there's a realm beyond Genesis Knight...?]

"My sword is the same as before. I can wield it with a clear mind now that the demonization is gone."

Thud-!

Seu's neck dropped to the ground. Luna and the Black Knights helped Chiron by cutting through the chaos trying to reconnect the neck and body.

Among the expedition team, Chiron remained the sole one capable of delivering an essential and fatal blow to the Kings of the Black Sea.

However, Luna's Blood Moon could also execute a power similar to the strength of a Genesis Knight.

"Keep the Crimson Sword Technique reserved, Luna. Until you reach a level like mine, the number of times you can use that sword technique is limited."

Luna understood Chiron's words as advice to prepare for other Kings of the Black Sea in the future. Right now, there was no need for her to exhaust herself to assist her father.

"Understood, Father."

With each swing of Chiron's sword, Seu's chaos was being severed like torn paper.

If Vanessa hadn't been sent ahead, Ozdock would have surely perished under the aftermath.

While Chiron was in the midst of killing Seu, he suddenly remembered Ozdock's foolish behavior and chuckled. By now, that rascal would have probably clung to Vanessa by shouting something like 'Oh my gosh!'

'The youngest sent me the treasure... Ozdock. If it weren't for his uniquely frivolous and insignificant nature, I might have completely lost my humanity before meeting Seu.'

The battle continued.

Seu only offered futile resistance and Chiron steadily, albeit unilaterally and decisively, pressured Seu.

Occasionally, there were small and large wounds appearing on Chiron's body.

However, unlike in the case of Kial, the chaos didn't seep into those wounds like poison. Skin tore, red blood flowed – it was no different from being injured by an ordinary weapon wielded by an ordinary being.

There were no deep wounds that broke bones, or damaged muscles or organs.

Literally, Chiron was overwhelming Seu. Luna and the Black Knights also had a few scratches, because Seu was cornered to the extent that he couldn't even spare attention for anyone other than Chiron.

Thunk-!

Chiron plunged Barisada into the eye of the fallen Seu once again. The once enormous Seu had now transformed into a figure similar to Chiron's build. Over 90% of the chaos that composed Seu had vanished into Barisada.

[How in the world... How... Can this be? What made you overcome your demonization, Chiron...?]

Hearing those words, Chiron pondered for a moment.

"If I were to pick one reason..."

[...You're saying you'll pick? Don't tell me you yourself don't know the reason?]

Just as Seu said, Chiron didn't precisely know why his demonization had suddenly disappeared. Only a vague notion of several possibilities came to his mind.

"Perhaps it's because I wanted to see how the youngest had grown. And maybe I'm a bit curious about my other children who I couldn't show affection to. How the clan looks now."

[That's insane... How could such trivial things be reasons that explain your current state? Just those things?]

"Hahaha, maybe it's something else then."

[Chirooooon!]

With a final resentful cry, Seu's voice ceased to reach them. Chiron looked down at Seu disintegrating into particles and clicked his tongue.

"It seems you were a weaker fragment than Kial. Now, what's left is Nirgand and Morganiel, I suppose. You've all done well."

Luna and the Black Knights lowered their heads. Chiron briefly enjoyed the slightly brighter view of the Black Sea after Seu's death.

Then, unexpectedly, he turned around with a smile as if something good had happened. It was toward Vanessa and Ozdock's side.

"Father?"

"Wow... It seems that the potential and fighting spirit I expected from your youth has finally borne fruit. You had wandered through the sword's realm for a long time."

"Father, I'm not sure what you're saying."

"A nice guy has come to visit me."

For a while, Luna and the Black Knights couldn't understand what he meant. Who in the world could come to this deepest and most dreadful land?

A nice guy.

Naturally, those words didn't refer to Vanessa and Ozdock. Chiron could now sense the aura of one more Runcandel, who had just met Vanessa and Ozdock.

"Could it be... Is it the youngest here!?"

Chiron didn't answer, keeping his gaze steady. Luna and the Black Knights also watched quietly in the direction Chiron was looking.

The nice guy mentioned by Chiron was now running toward him like crazy.

Chiron didn't move closer to him or call out his name. That would undermine the struggle he had been through all alone in this place.

Finally, the one who had managed to walk unsteadily in front of Chiron knelt on one knee. Luna and the Black Knights couldn't close their mouths, wide open in astonishment, ever since they had caught sight of him.

"Huff, huff... Greetings, lord patriarch."

Chiron bent down and personally helped him to his feet, and said.

"You've gone through a lot to come here, Zed. You finally manage to impress me, even if just once."
