Chapter 100
As Yan descended swiftly back into the tunnel, the battle was nearing its end. Baiken, who had risen time and time again like a resilient doll, had now turned into a cold corpse.
Clash! Boom! Bang!
Jin was under fierce pressure from Owen. “It’s all over now, surrender quietly, human!” Owen, wielding a hand cannon and a greatsword, was relentlessly driving Jin into a corner. Though not unscathed himself, with cuts and piercing wounds all over, and his beard soaked in blood, Owen seemed to have enough strength left to finish Jin off.
In contrast, Jin, having been struck by Owen, had a long gash over one eye and was dodging attacks with the other, struggling with his depth perception.
Scrape.
Owen’s greatsword drew a long cut across Jin’s thigh. “Gah!” Jin gritted his teeth, trying to rise, but Owen’s sword was already swinging towards his head.
“...A monster indeed.”
Jin knew the legends of the ‘War Smith’ vaguely, but he hadn’t expected him to be such a beast. Resignation flickered in Jin’s eyes; he had long since exhausted the strength to dodge the deadly trajectory of the incoming greatsword.
That’s when it happened.
Crash!
The greatsword, meant to bisect Jin, instead shattered the innocent wall. “Damn it all!” Owen cursed, turning his head sharply. A young man, just of age, was carrying Jin over his shoulder, having rescued him from the brink of death in that brief moment.
