The Blessing of the Cat Tribe

When Jin visited Lafrarosa in the past, he received its protection for the first time and was able to safely traverse the land of the beastmen.

That protection was still in effect.

Jin returned to the land of the beastmen in a simple disguise, but this time, the Red Tiger Tribe and the White Wolf Tribe patrolling did not inspect Jin even once.

Or is Kinzelo’s main defense network not as robust as he thought?

“It really doesn’t matter if my entry into the Great Mitra Desert is known to the outside world, but I wondered if Kinzelo might be a little annoyed.”

It was a closed-door training session in which Rosa directly sent Jin.

Runcandel’s journalists were already distributing articles related to Jin’s closed-door training.

The fact that Jin was on the final path to the throne of master swordsmen had become a major topic for the newspapers.

When Jin reached the path leading to the Great Mitra Desert, after passing through the Yukayuka Market, he smiled unexpectedly upon encountering a familiar face.

“It’s been a while, Jin Runcandel.”

A face like that of a cat with pure white fur and mysterious purple eyes.

It was ‘Neru’ of the Cat Tribe.

The person who protected Jin and led him to the Third Tomb of Temar.

The reason Jin went unnoticed by Kinzelo in the land of the beastmen was thanks to her help.

“I heard from Lulu and Miru, in the Wantaramo Forest, that day you escaped unscathed from the specters. The day has finally come when we can meet in person and thank you.”

“We are grateful to each other, so there’s no need to make a big deal out of it. It seems you’ve come to the Great Desert; can we walk together for a while?”

Neru might not have known exactly what Lafrarosa was, but she assumed there was an arrangement that Solderet left for Jin in the Great Desert.

Upon entering the Great Desert, Jin called Shuri.

Neru and Shuri exchanged greetings as if they were glad to meet each other.

“It’s a great blessing that Shuri escaped from that witch and met someone like you.”

“Jin.”

“Yes, Neru-nim.”

“I’ve come to fetch you because there’s a problem we need to discuss together.”

The area contaminated by Chaos.

Neru spoke about it for a while.

The Chaos of Gliek permeated not only human society but also the world of the small beastmen.

“We, the Cat Tribe, are trying to participate in cleaning up the contaminated area, at least to protect the small beastmen. And among humans, the only people we can trust are you and the survivor of Histor.”

According to Neru’s explanation, the Cat Tribe was able to cope with the chaos of the contaminated area thanks to its unique barrier ability.

However, their power is weak due to the absence of the current and previous Felin Gods, so they wanted to strengthen their abilities by finding their ‘forgotten temple’ through Valeria’s record magic.

Jin gladly accepted Neru’s offer and took out paper and pen.

“Go to Tikan and show them this letter. Perhaps Valeria won’t refuse.”

“Yes, Lulu and Miru express that she was born with a destiny for the world, just like you.”

“It’s an exaggeration that makes my face flush every time I hear it.”

Thanks to the events of the Wantaramo Forest, Valeria had a favorable attitude towards the Cat Tribe, including Lulu and Miru.

“If we can borrow the power of our Gods thanks to her, I won’t just use it for the small beastmen.”

Afterwards, Neru rode Shuri and escorted Jin to near the entrance of Lafrarosa.

“I’m leaving now.”

“It’s been a pleasure seeing you, please greet Miru and Lulu.”

As always, when Neru left, Tantel, a member of the Tribe of Legends, greeted Jin.

“Brother Jin! Ah, and Shuri! It’s been a long time!”

“Brother Tantel. How are you?”

“We have nothing else to do but wait for you, right? There’s also some concern. In case you die outside, we won’t even hear the news. If you were strong enough, there wouldn’t be a need to worry, brother.”

Jin chuckled.

Tantel immediately recognized that Jin had gotten stronger, but Jin was still not a transcendental warrior by Tribe of Legends standards.

The Tribe of Legends was the only group in the world that could refer to Jin as a “promising warrior.”

“So, this time I plan to stay and train for a while.”

“It’s a good idea!”

As Tantel’s sword sliced through the air, the portal to Lafrarosa opened.

Buildings adorned with all sorts of jewels on the golden path, and the illuminated hearts of the deceased brothers hung in front of the doors of each house.

This dazzling dead world was now Jin’s second home. Thinking that he could bring this landscape to the world made his heart pound.

Passing through the Golden Path, neat stone pathways and a gigantic monument in honor of the deceased Warriors of Legends, they arrived at the Hall of the Battle Gods.

Before opening the main door, Jin tapped several times on the hearts of the legends’ warriors embedded in the outer wall of the Hall of the Battle Gods.

“Kugh…!”

“Boom!”

“Bam!”

As the door opened, the brothers of the Tribe of Legends who had been waiting in advance greeted Jin.

“Brother Jin!”

“Shuri!”

Jin couldn’t help but smile at the boisterous welcome from his brothers.

Excluding Tantel, 63 ordinary warriors, as well as 12 Battle Kings and a Battle Goddess, awaited Jin on the other side of the door.

Jin first showed courtesy to Vahn.

Vahn still exuded immeasurable dignity, but Jin noticed that she had become somewhat haggard compared to the last time they saw each other.

Is it the effect of the blood they gave me during the last training…?

Every time Jin transfused with Vahn’s blood, it was as if he was transmitting true energy. Just like Ron delivered his true energy to Dante at the last moment.

“I have much to tell you, Sister Vahn.”

When Shuri saw Vahn, she purred and nestled into her arms.

Although she didn’t seem very graceful due to the significant size difference, Shuri had immensely missed the touch of Vahn since their last encounter.

Shuri tended to enjoy the touch of transcendent beings like Tess and Vahn.

“I suppose so. Since you’ll be here for a while, we can take it easy today and catch up over a meal.”

“Oh, Sister Battle Goddess. How did you know Brother Jin would stay for a long time? I was the only one who heard it, so I tried to surprise the brothers.”

“Because he has to, Brother Tantel. Brother Jin is in a state where he has already accepted the day he will die.”

At Vahn’s response, the eyes of the other members of the Tribe of Legends opened wide as if they were about to pop out.

“Huh! Sister Battle Goddess, what do you mean by that!”

“Brother Jin is dying…!”

“Brother Jin, you only said you would stay for training before, is there really something wrong with your body?”

Not only the Tribe of Legends were surprised…

I thought Sister Vahn would immediately recognize that there’s Chaos in my body, but…

‘A time limit?’

Jin didn’t feel like his condition was exactly the same as Rosa, Kelliark, and others tainted by Chaos.

Jin felt that the demonic heart exerted pressure on his insides, but it was nothing compared to what he experienced in Gliek’s subspace.

Of course, it could worsen in the future, which is why he sought out Lafrarosa.

Using as a clue the fact that the Battle Goddess’s blood resisted Chaos.

Jin was worried, but he didn’t expect it to be this much.

If Vahn had had the chance to compare Rosa, Kelliark, and Jin.

Without thinking, she would have judged Jin to be the most serious.

“A month at the shortest, two months at the longest. If Brother Jin hadn’t come to Lafrarosa, he would have become a monster and died.”

“…Was I in such a serious condition?”

Heavenly luck.

It was truly lucky that Jin found Lafrarosa at this moment without knowing his own state.

If Qwaul’s search had been delayed even a little, or if Rosa had changed her mind and interfered with Jin’s departure for the closed-door training, external affairs would have taken at least a month to resolve.

The other members of the Tribe of Legends also realized what was happening to Jin.

Beliz, the Seventh Battle King, grabbed Jin’s wrist and seemed frightened.

“Ah, these are traces of Chaos!”

“Traces of Chaos? Aren’t we immune to chaos?”

“Brother Jin is different from us, Brother Twelfth Battle King.”

“That’s true, but since he was transfused with the sister’s blood and even has a Light Heart, he must be immune!”

“The form of the stigma… this is the trace left by the First Chaos!”

“Darn it, it’s true, we’re not immune to that! The First Chaos suddenly? Is it still in the outside world?”

“What the hell have you been through out there!? Did you meet the Witch? Huh?”

The people of the Tribe of Legends shouted frantically with serious expressions.

The Chaos King and the Witch Heluram existed even in the era of the Tribe of Legends.

At that time, Heluram had no name and was simply called The Witch.

“Calm down, brothers.”

When Vahn raised her hand silently, the others bowed their heads and closed their mouths.

“Those things only make Brother Jin more anxious. It’s not too late, so we just have to prepare and start the purification.”

It’s a calm voice, as if it’s not a big deal.

But Jin couldn’t feel calm even after seeing Vahn’s attitude.

It was because all the other brothers, who surely knew the method of “purification,” constantly showed signs of concern.

Fortunately, they were worried about Jin not because of death.

“Damn it… Let’s cheer up, Brother Jin.”

“It’s painful, but what can we do? As you’ve always done, you have to bear it well….”

“We’ll help you with whatever, okay?”

“Yes, yes. No matter what state or appearance you’re in, we’ll always consider you a brother.”

“Even if you forget us, we won’t forget you, Brother Jin. Yes, no way.”

Jin had already endured the Tribe of Legends’ extreme training twice.

Still, the people of the Tribe of Legends were convinced that it would be difficult for Jin to endure it, so even Jin couldn’t help feeling a little uneasy.

“Eh? What do you mean by ‘state’ or ‘appearance’? And what do you mean by I might forget my brothers?”

“For now, enjoy the day. It may be difficult to have fun for a while.”

Instead of answering Jin’s question, the others lifted him up and headed to the banquet hall.

Vahn laughed at Jin, who kept asking questions with a puzzled expression, and at the brothers who comforted him.

Naturally, Vahn was also worried about Jin. However, she believed that Jin would be able to handle it this time as well.
