Fourth Secret Technique of Runcandel: Black Cross.

Rosa released the sword as the meteor shower shattered.

The blade of Frenzy, marked with a black cross, emitted black energy.

The energy in the form of a black cross spilled towards Talaris in a circle around the intersection point of the cross.

Rosa was not a pure-blood Runcandel, but she executed Final Movements and secret techniques perfectly even without a blessed body due to Chaos acceptance. Her power was comparable to Cyron's.

There was no way Talaris and Mort could escape the countless black cross-shaped blades.

Initially, Jin and Kaio were supposed to risk their lives to pierce through Rosa and plunge into the energy. However, it wasn't certain that their exhausted bodies could withstand Rosa's secret technique.

Perhaps not only would they fail to save Talaris, but they themselves would face death.

If Murakan hadn't appeared now, it would most likely have ended like this.

As the black cross-shaped energy attacked Talaris and Mort, Murakan's huge body suddenly appeared behind them like a black mountain.

At first glance, his body was much larger than Jin remembered. His wings, spread like a wall, blocked the Black Cross, leaving enough space even for Mort to fit within them.

The energy from Frenzy's extended sword constantly caused cracks in the wings.

It seemed as if the wings were about to tear apart in an instant, but it was nothing more than an optical illusion caused by the flickering Shadow Energy.

[And you too, Mistress of the Hidden Palace. How did you become so weak? It seems that Sir Mort is also quite injured].

Talaris lifted her head.

She smirked in relief at being surrounded by Murakan's protective shield.

Although she had just doubted death, she now felt that the embrace of this dark, gigantic dragon was the safest place in the world.

"You've come at the perfect time. How did you become so strong, Brother Black Dragon?"

[I've just recovered a bit more of what I had lost. And thanks to that, I think neither the brat nor I will lose you today].

"Uhhh, I'm going to fall in love with you."

Murakan possessed 50% of his former strength during the War of the Sword Emperor Castle, when he fought alongside his comrades.

Not only Jin but also Talaris, who couldn't sense Shadow Energy with such sensitivity, could easily recognize that Murakan's current power level was near his prime.

Jin's Shadow Energy, which had finally reached ten stars, and the crises Murakan had overcome on behalf of Solderet, were restoring his former strength.

Murakan spread his wings again.

Talaris and Mort received no damage from the Black Cross, and Rosa's expression distorted.

[The former Guardian Dragon of the Family... I didn't feel any signal of your arrival].

That's why Rosa was angry. She could feel all the battles that were happening in the Garden of Swords and throughout the Kalon area as if it were her own body.

However, she didn't feel Murakan's presence at all.

This means that Murakan didn't come from outside the Garden of Swords, but suddenly appeared from within.

[It seems you still lack enlightenment, Rosa Runcandel]

Rosa turned around and looked at Jin.

[You and your comrades are really lucky, younger son. When you're in a crisis like this, someone always comes to rescue you].

Rosa didn't know all the details of Jin and his companions' adventures. But she knew they had always managed to overcome difficulties with the help of others or among themselves.

Nothing like that had ever happened in her Runcandel. No matter how much she hoped, there was no hope that 'someone' would return, and Rosa didn't bother to hide the bitterness that fact caused her.

[This mother... will break that cycle].

The Chaos blade that stopped in mid-air began to spin again.

The blades pushed the group more fiercely than before, as if fueled by Rosa's anger.

At the same time, parts of Murakan's body dispersed into Shadow Energy and trapped Talaris and Mort.

He quickly moved like a hawk and instantly appeared next to Jin.

Rosa scattered swords in all directions from her position.

Parts of Murakan's body, transformed into smoke-like forms, were swept away, but didn't deal him a significant blow.

The battle was at a stalemate.

That meant Jin's group was still at a disadvantage.

Although Rosa had limitations, Murakan's forced return would be quicker.

"The escape point is in the forest about 75 km away, Brother Black Dragon. Can you clear a path there? There's a teleporting flying ship."

Talaris pointed her finger to where the red owl was hidden.

[It's going to be a bit risky, but where?]

If he amplifies Shadow Energy to clear a path, his forced return will be quicker.

Murakan raised his Shadow Energy without hesitation.

It was better to attempt an escape than to continue at a standstill, even if his energy ran out before reaching the escape point.

"I'll buy you some time, Black Dragon Murakan. Escape with Brother Jin."

The moment Kaio said that. Suddenly, a voice resonated from the sky.

[Murakan! I'll cover you!]

It was Orgal's voice.

Kinzelo's flagship, Grenil, floated in the air, charged with an immense amount of lightning energy.

The other battleships were still far away.

Orgal had read the situation and opened a dimensional portal to the battlefield where Murakan and the others were.

Of course, due to Chaos, his dimensional movement ability was affected.

However, since all of Kalon's chaos was concentrated on Rosa, the restrictions were weaker than before.

Murakan recognized it was Orgal without Jin's explanation.

Lightning rained down on Rosa.

At that moment, Murakan flew into the sky with Jin and Kaio on his back.

Rosa's sword energy pierced Grenille's lightning and emerged behind Murakan.

It was the fifth secret technique, Light Speed Thrust. Although it left deep wounds in Murakan's tail, back, and left wing, he continued on without hesitation.

"Are you okay, Murakan?"

[Of course I'm okay, it just hurts. But it's a small price to pay for saving you and the Hidden Palace Master.]

Thanks to Grenille, Murakan didn't have to amplify his power, so he had some time.

But there was one element Murakan hadn't taken into account.

Ram, the fact that Runcandel's huge black ship was approaching.

And Rosa was no longer visible where Grenille's lightning disappeared.

She stood in front of Ram, watching the direction Murakan was moving.

Ram and she were practically one body.

Ram reloaded the main cannon incomparably faster than before.

The Chaos energy darkening the sky became increasingly unstable.

"Rosa-nim, how about we stop here?"

At the Prophet's question, Rosa chuckled.

[Don't you always want my sanity to crumble?]

"Honestly, right now it's a bit dangerous."

Rosa quietly accelerated Chaos amplification, and Ilina watched her with anxious eyes.
