Episode 683
– A new sword world?
Lars straightened his round chin.
-Yes, you! No way! Are you trying to imitate the king’s sermon?
“well?”
Raon lifted his finger and pushed Lars’ nose.
-Inooom! It won’t work! How much trouble did King Bon have to come up with a snowflake painting! Kellogg!
Lars shook his head, saying that snow-clearing was his own art. It looked like cotton candy had melted in the sun and rolled into a ball.
“I’m kidding.”
Raon smiled slightly and waved his hand.
“At my current level, I can’t imitate snow-neutralization even if I wanted to.”
– Risk! Of course. Seoljunghwa embodies the original king’s state….
“But thanks to you, I got inspiration.”
-You got inspiration?
“okay.”
Raon looked into Lars’ blue eyes and raised his index finger.
“There are three types of sword worlds I have seen so far. The first is a sustained type that can fight for a long time, like my Shinma Harmony or the Vice Lord’s Eye of the Storm.”
He raised his middle finger and continued speaking.
“The second is an installation type that draws enemies into one’s space like Dogae’s black blade. And finally…”
He put his ring finger forward and pointed at Ras.
“An instant-fire type that annihilates the enemy at once, like your Seoljunghwa or the head of the family’s Heavenly Utility Blade. It is no exaggeration to say that it is an instant death.”
As soon as Ras’s Snowflake is activated, it freezes everything in front of it, and Glenn’s Heavenly Blade tears the enemy to pieces with its three sword strikes: Inreo, Jigyeol, and Heavenly Sword.
Both were deadly techniques that used one’s full strength to crush the enemy.
-Then, what you are making is…
Ras narrowed his eyes as if he understood what that meant.
“okay.”
Raon smiled and left only one finger.
“I’m thinking of creating an instantaneous sword system like you and the head of the family.”
Although there is a blue-red invincible sword that splendidly decorates the tip of the Divine Demon Harmony, it does not reach the power of the instant-fire type that explodes all of its power at the same time as activating the sword world.
I wanted to create a new sword system that could crush enemies like Lass, who crushed the grid.
-Kellogg. If that’s the case…
he calmly nodded, as if he thought Lars wasn’t copying the story.
“I didn’t say you wouldn’t copy it?”
-What do you mean? Kellogg!
“You said you couldn’t copy it, you didn’t say you wouldn’t copy it.”
Raon smiled, looking at Lars with wide eyes.
“I had such a good teaching material right in front of me, so how could I not copy it?”
-This crazy guy is real!
Ras gritted his teeth, saying he knew that would happen.
However, I was thinking about something and suddenly let out a windy laugh.
-Well, it doesn’t matter. It won’t be an easy road for you.
“It’s not an easy road? why?”
-Because you have a lot to hide. Kellogg!
The guy shook his head mockingly.
-As I said before, once you reach transcendence, trivial factors such as emotions become important. The reason King Bon’s sermon is so powerful is because it reveals everything he has.
Ras put his hands together as if he were speaking during a snow-shoe speech. However, unlike back then, there were no fingers, so it looked like thick bread.
-You have an eerie murderousness and anger that is not appropriate for your age, but there are times when you seem strangely weak-hearted. To be honest, the king still hasn’t figured out who you are.
The guy let out a heavy breath.
-No, you yourself probably don’t know what kind of person you are. Kellogg!
“Hmm…”
Raon chewed his lip slightly.
‘It’s just as I said.’
My existence was empty, except for the desire for revenge to bring down Derus and the wish for Sylvia, the annex family, and Gwangpungdae to do well.
As Lars said, I couldn’t even measure myself.
-The instantaneous sword system you call yourself requires you to pour out your emotions just as you pour out all your military power at once. It won’t be easy for you now.
“I guess so. But…”
Raon smiled calmly.
“There’s still plenty of time.”
There were three months left until the fate of my father.
If it was short, it would be short, and if it was long, I would focus solely on training for a long period of time, so I had enough time to reflect on myself.
-Si, you have a lot of time? You can’t believe it…
Lars’s lips trembled as if he couldn’t believe it.
-Are you planning on staying in this training room for three months? Kellogg!
“No, I have to leave ten days before. Probably about two and a half months.
-Then what about rice….
“This.”
Raon grinned and took out a large wrapping cloth containing only Nadin bread from his subspace pocket.
-Kyaaaaaaa!
As soon as Lars saw the bundle of Nadine bread, he screamed and ran away like he did when he met Merlin.
-Clean it up! Just look at it! My appetite is gone! Kellogg!
“It can’t be helped.”
Raon threw the Nadin bread and caught it and laughed.
“There is no food better than Nadin bread to eat in the workshop.”
Nadin bread has no smell, and eating just one can cause binge eating.
In the training room, it was as essential as water.
-Kellogg, Kellogg…
Lars let out a sigh of relief and coughed one after another.
“Are you okay? “Why are you coughing like this…”
Raon lowered his eyebrows deeply as he looked at the shriveled Lars.
Lars had coughed before, but this time he had no intention of stopping. Even though I saw his strength right in front of me, I was worried.
-That’s why I have something to say. Kellogg.
Lars nodded slowly.
-Spiritual damage occurred to the King in the wake of the aftermath that descended on you. I think I need to get some sleep.
“You sleep every day.”
Raon tilted his head. It’s like a combination of sloth and gluttony. I don’t know what it is that he sleeps most of the time when he’s not eating.
-It’s a longer sleep than that.
Lars shook his head, saying it would take some time to stabilize the spirit body.
-I enjoyed the festival and tried to prepare by eating as much home-cooked food and snacks as I could, so now would be the perfect time. Kellogg!
The guy laughed and told me to eat a lot of Nadine bread while he was passed out.
“How much of the aftermath of the Devil’s Descent have you taken?”
-I took it in moderation. Kellogg!
Lars said that and laughed. I felt like he relieved my burden a little more.
-Don’t be mistaken! Do you think this king is worried about humans? Oh, of course, except for our good Ice Cream Girl, Pineapple Girl, and Beef Girl!
“So how much sleep are you going to sleep?”
Raon frowned at Lars, who was smirking.
-It will probably happen before you face life or death. Because I have to take over that body before you come after me. Kellogg!
“That’s it then.”
It didn’t matter if I came back rather than leaving at all. Rather, it was nice to be able to focus on practice.
‘Wait a minute…’
So that’s it?
At first, I had hoped Lars would leave, but now I was relieved to hear that he would just sleep and come back.
It’s not because of Ras’ abilities or the system’s rewards. I felt deeply attached to the cotton candy itself chattering next to me.
It seemed to me that Lars had become something different, neither an enemy nor a friend.
“hey.”
Raon shook off his dizzy thoughts and tapped Lars’ forehead.
“If you come out late, I’ll go explore restaurants alone.”
-joy! Don’t worry! The king watches over meal times… Kellogg!
When I heard the coughing sound, I couldn’t believe it at all.
-Still, I’m looking forward to it. How will it change?
“okay. “As soon as you wake up, I’ll make you open your mouth.”
-joy. There is one more besides you.
Lars shook his head, telling him not to be mistaken.
-It’s awkward to say hello to you, so I’ll just leave.
After saying those last words, he entered the bracelet. The ice flower bracelet sparkled in a light silver light and then sank.
“Las.”
Raon tapped his bracelet and called Ras. There was no answer.
“Actually, I also brought some ice cream.”
-…You should have said that a long time ago! Kellogg!
Lars stuck his face out over the bracelet.
“You’re lying when you say you’re sick, right?”
-Ooh, don’t be funny! This king does not cheat!
“I don’t think so.”
Raon shook his head and took out the beaded ice cream that Sylvia had given him from his subspace pocket.
“Think of it as the last supper.”
-What is the last one? This king will eat all the beaded ice cream that is released for the rest of his life!
* * *
After eating the ice cream, Lars really fell asleep.
“I have another box of mint chocolate?”
It seemed like he was deeply asleep as he didn’t wake up even when I said mint chocolate.
“Because the guy who talks incessantly is quiet. “It feels strange.”
After Raon tapped his wrist for no reason, he took out the Holy Fire that the saint had given him and the Holy Jinhwan he had received from Hoppen.
‘These two will be enough.’
Both Seonghwa and Seongjinhwan were based on divine power, so there was no need to eat them separately.
If you receive the gluttony effect, you will more than make up for all the aurors you lost.
‘But…’
What I want is not an Auror.
In order to create a new sword world, you must reach the world of imagery.
Using Seonghwa and Seong Jinhwan as mediums, I planned to enter the calm yet dizzying world of imagery without wasting time.
“Phew…”
Raon took a long breath and opened the wooden armor containing Seong Jinhwan. It was not a bitter herbal scent, but a cool autumn tree scent.
Then, when I opened the lid containing the torch, a sweet scent that seemed to whet my appetite flowed out. Perhaps because of their divine power, both elixirs had a good scent.
‘You might like that cotton candy.’
He laughed and put Seongjinhwan and Seonghwa in his mouth. The moment Seongjinhwan touched the tongue, it melted like water and went down the throat along with Seonghwa.
Hwaaaaa!
As soon as the two divine elixirs confirmed that they were not enemies, they harmonized and spread throughout the body.
Holy water with a subtle heat seemed to be flowing through the blood vessels and mana circuits.
Minor wounds in the mana circuit heal instantly, and bone and muscle damage is erased. It had tremendous healing power.
As if the divine energy was not satisfied with healing alone, it spread from head to toe, activating the body and senses.
The fine muscles and mana circuits feel as if you can touch them, and your five senses develop to an eerie degree.
You could almost hear the sound of ants crawling on the ceiling of the training room.
When I felt like I was shedding my physical body, the divine power subsided and the mana that was filling it began to surge.
The large amount of mana that came out from the shell of divinity was circulated according to the flow of Manga Ball, Glasia, and Garunua.
A new aura filled the previously empty Danjeon.
Perhaps because he purified his body first and then practiced as an auror, the energy accumulating in his Danjeon was of higher purity than ever before.
The mana that filled the Danjeon turned to the Middle Jeon, and before we knew it, we were knocking on the door of the Upper Jeon.
Wooooow!
The thick scent of mana and the sensation of a body refined to the limit naturally opened the door to the world of imagery.
Hwaaaaa!
With a brilliant light, the world of swords I have built comes into view.
The buds of swordsmanship blooming from the red and green earth were still there, and the small wind expanded the land, albeit slightly.
However, at the center of the world, a black pit trembled in the aftermath of the devil’s descent, and the eight rings of fire in the sky creaked like a broken pendulum.
“first….”
Raon smiled slightly as he looked at the twisted ring of fire.
“Let’s start from there.”
* * *
“That’s it for today.”
Rimmer clapped his hands as the moon smiled softly.
“It’s late, so get organized.”
He yawned, saying that today’s training would end here.
“yes.”
Gwangpungdae answered briefly and lowered his head, as if he had lost strength from the continued training.
“I’m exhausted.”
“So, Dokae during the day. “In the afternoon, the unit manager puts pressure on me to the point of death.”
“Of course, not as much as the great lord.”
“But why is the commander so enthusiastic all of a sudden?”
As the prosecutors started chatting and clearing up the training ground, there was someone who extended his sword with more force.
It’s Runaan. She slowly raised her sword body soaked in moonlight and made an ice flower bloom.
The sword play, gradually increasing in speed, fell gracefully like an artist’s brush, drawing dozens of folk tales.
Cheeeeee!
When Runaan lowered his sword, the ice flowers that were floating like beautiful flower beds were instantly shattered.
If she had stored her energy inside, a frost storm would have occurred and devastated the area.
“hey!”
Marta frowned as she looked at the pieces of frost settling on the training ground.
“Don’t be cocky. I’ll catch up soon anyway. “Keep your neck stretched out.”
“Phew.”
Runan laughed at Marta with fierce eyes.
“profit!”
Marta let out a long snort as if she was going to attack her at any moment.
“Even if your level is higher! If we fight, I win! “Go for it!”
“Be patient. “How come you fight together every day!”
Burren blocked Marta’s path and shook his head.
“That monkey was laughing at me! “You saw it too!”
“Did I see you argue first?”
“I just said I’d catch up! “You shamelessly became stronger on your own!”
Marta raised her fist, saying it was mean.
“Well, that’s right…”
Buren nodded briefly and looked at Runaan.
“Runan. Your achievements have suddenly increased significantly. “What happened in Spern?”
“I do not know.”
Runaan shook her head with peaceful eyes.
“My training has been going well since I woke up there.”
Since waking up after fainting in the Kingdom of Super, his auror count has increased, his body has become stronger, and his level of swordsmanship has naturally risen.
I was embarrassed because all I did was wake up.
It was similar to the feeling I had when I was a trainee, smelling the cold air coming from Raon and feeling stronger.
“anyway! Because I will catch you. Just wait there!”
“joy.”
“Ah-oh! That emotionless ridicule makes me even more angry! “Let go!”
“Nachalnyeo. See you tomorrow.”
Runaan waved his hand at Marta, who was stopped by Buren, and left the 5th training hall. She wasn’t heading to the dorm, but to the main house of Slyon.
I leisurely returned to the family home, watching the people in the downtown area, but there was one thing that was different from usual.
“hmm?”
what?
When he returned, the front door light, which was always on, was out.
I checked my senses just in case, and there was nothing unusual about the movements of the people inside the mansion.
Runaan opened the front door and carefully went inside, squinting slightly.
“oh! miss!”
“When did you come?”
Perhaps because the lights were off, the maids lowered their heads in surprise.
“I’m here now.”
“Runan!”
As if they heard Runaan’s voice, Lorcan and Clara came out of the restaurant.
“You’re a little late.”
“huh. But why…”
Runaan tilted his head, pointing to the entrance where the lights were off.
“Oh, I’m sorry. “I was thinking about it.”
“….”
Lorcan smoothed the back of his head, and Clara smiled awkwardly.
“It’s late, so let’s eat first.”
He held Runaan’s shoulder and walked to the dining hall.
“….”
Runaan narrowed his eyes as he looked at the backs of Lorcan and Clara.
Seeing the awkward appearance of my father and mother, who would normally have wanted to hug each other, it seemed like something had happened. For now, I pretended not to notice and sat down at the table.
Nothing happened during the meal. The food was delicious and even came with my favorite mint chocolate ice cream.
However, Lorcan and Clara’s expressions were still awkward. Even though he was smiling on the outside, his eyes became serious at times.
“dad.”
Runaan put down the uneaten beaded ice cream.
“What’s going on?”
“Um…”
Lorcan couldn’t answer right away and furrowed his brows.
“Have you noticed anything?”
Clara asked with a sigh.
“too.”
Runaan nodded, saying he couldn’t help but notice.
“Well, you’re not a kid anymore.”
Lorcan scratched his bangs and nodded.
“I was wondering whether I should tell you or not, but I think it would be a good idea to prepare.”
He took a long breath and continued speaking.
“There was news that a monster wearing Baphomet’s helmet and holding a great sword was seen in the south. “It seems like Syria is alive.”
Lorcan bit his lip until it bled.
‘It must have been a trauma.’
For Runan, Syria is more than an enemy.
Runaan would be scared if I told her that he was alive, but it was better than not knowing at all, so I decided to tell her.
“Well, you don’t have to worry,”
Lorcan raised his fist.
“I won’t let this father even touch you…”
“Was that it?”
Runan muttered, ‘It wasn’t a big deal,’ and grabbed the ice cream again.
“Lu, Runan?”
Clara opened her eyes in surprise.
“I thought my brother was alive.”
Runaan put ice cream in her mouth and nodded calmly.
The goat, the symbol of Baphomet, has been called the devil’s animal since ancient times.
Since he survived even if his neck was turned or broken, I had expected him to be alive ever since I heard that Syria’s body had disappeared.
“You don’t have to worry about dad or mom.”
A soft smile appeared on Runaan’s lips. Her light purple eyes no longer reflected the fear of Syria.
“Because I will break your brother.”
* * *
“Phew….”
Raon sighed and lowered his gaze. All the black cracks that had devastated Sandanjeon were closed, and new buds of swordsmanship bloomed in the black land.
The ring of fire rotating in the sky was also completely restored, and the eight rings resonated, emitting a profound sound.
‘It was faster than I thought.’
It was a path I had walked once, and since Lars took a lot of the work, I was able to fill the wounds from the top battle faster than expected.
‘Now the new sword world… hmm?’
It was when I was turning my wrist and smiling. Next to the slowly rotating ring of fire, several swords that I had never seen before emerged and began to draw a magnificent trajectory.
“No way, that…”
Raon’s lips trembled as he saw a familiar-looking sword among them.
“Jincheon Sword?”
