Chapter 709
“Sword Demon Rektar. “Why are you here?”
Glenn’s voice subsided, as if it had crawled out of an abyss. The anger welling up in his soul became a powerful force that swept over his son-in-law.
“Are you also involved in this?”
Glenn raised his Jincheon sword as if he would kill him immediately if he was involved in the attack on Raon.
“Glenn Sieghardt.”
Rektar did not answer the question, but looked at the red dagger in Glenn’s hand.
“Why do you have a requiem sword?”
He too did not back down and created a wave of dry energy that was so dry that the blood dried.
Coo coo coo coo!
As the magnificent energy waves of Glenn and Rektar collided, a crack appeared in the air as if it had been split by a sword.
“Go, matriarch! Stop!”
Rimmer gritted his teeth and took a step forward. He entered the space where the energy waves of the two transcendents collided and raised his trembling hands.
“The Sword Demon is not the enemy!”
“Yes, that’s right! Instead, you saved us!”
“There’s no need to fight!”
Buren and Marta followed behind Rimmer and shook their heads.
“He saved you?”
Glenn narrowed his eyes without lowering the Jincheon sword aimed at Rektar.
“yes. “The vice-lord of the North and South Alliance pursued us by bypassing the waterway, but thanks to Sword Demon’s help, we were able to escape safely.”
Burren swallowed dryly and explained what happened when Rektar stopped Helgurum.
“Hmm…”
Glenn bit his lip slightly and then lowered the Jincheon sword that was aimed at Rektar.
“I think I deserve to know what happened?”
Rektar clenched his fists as he looked at the requiem sword held dearly by Glenn.
“Eh, we were attacked by Eden and the North and South Alliance.”
Burren turned his gaze to Rektar and his shoulders trembled.
“When I was trying to move Raon to that pirate ship, an evil demon appeared using an artifact and a man named Beorn of the North and South Alliance….”
He briefly explained to Rektar what had happened so far.
“…I started looking for Raon right after Kanghwan exploded, but I haven’t found him yet.”
“Ah…”
Rektar’s cool complexion hardened in an instant. His old eyes fluttered widely as if hit by a wave.
“It just floated away, but it’s definitely alive! “I’m not the one to die in a place like this!”
“huh.”
Marta says Raon is not dead and slams her fist down. Runan also nodded as if she trusted Raon.
“Ugh.”
Rektar looked away while chewing his molars. His complexion gradually darkened as he quickly skimmed the river.
“….”
Glenn narrowed his eyes as he looked at Rektar’s crumpled face, as if he was holding back tears.
‘What do those eyes mean?’
Just as I was thinking that Rektar’s reaction and expression were strange, he disappeared like smoke.
Cheeeeee!
The disappeared Rektar rushed in front of me and swung his sword. It was an instant-kill sword strike that would cut off one’s head in one fell swoop.
Hahaha!
Glenn raised his Jincheon sword and blocked Rektar’s sword strike. Perhaps because he was serious, the thrusting blade was so powerful that it gave me chills.
“Glenn Sieghardt.”
Rektar gritted his teeth and amplified the power contained in the sword. A colorless flame burned above the sword body.
“What are you doing when you can’t even protect your grandson?”
He seemed to be feeling passionate and his whole body was shaking.
“If you were going to throw it away, you should definitely throw it away, and if you were going to embrace it, you should definitely embrace it! “I can’t do this or that. What are you thinking?”
Rektar seemed to be truly angry and even pushed Glenn away.
“Matriarch!”
“What are you doing!”
Cheryl and Roen ran out with their eyes wide open, but Glenn waved his hand to stop them.
“….”
Glenn looked at Rektar, who was showing deep anger, and strengthened his left hand holding the requiem sword.
‘What’s your relationship with Raon?’
The emotions conveyed from Rektar’s sword were not only sadness and anger, but also regret. It was like looking at myself in a mirror.
“Who are you?”
I wasn’t asking about name or affiliation. The question was to find out what kind of relationship he had with Raon.
“In this case, the Holy Swordsman and the Black Tower did not move.”
Rektar harshly struck down his sword. He threw Glenn towards the river, his eyes fierce.
“It was no different from the Six Emperors, who had no choice but to stay in place due to Ogram’s defeat! “Failure to protect Raon in this situation is the height of incompetence!”
He chewed his lip as he looked at the requiem sword with its broken scabbard.
“If Raon is really dead, I will kill the North and South Korean Alliance, Shadow, and you too.”
Rektar said those last words and went down the river.
“S-Master!”
Muston and the Holy Swordsman’s swordsmen stood blankly, then belatedly moved their battleships and chased after Rektar.
“Matriarch.”
“Are you okay?”
Cheryl and Roen approached Glenn, and the two only gave worried looks as if they had not heard the conversation with Rektar due to the blindness.
“It’s nothing.”
Glenn calmly shook his head. Thanks to clashing swords with Rektar, my head actually got cold.
“sorry. “If only I hadn’t lost my temper…”
Rimmer approached Glenn and knelt down. He shook his clenched fist as if he was regretting it.
“….”
Glenn held Rimmer’s shoulder without saying a word. He must have been in the hardest shock of anyone, so there was nothing he could say right now.
“Cheongeomdae, Gwangpungdae, and Cheoljeondae should continue the search here.”
“All right.”
“I will definitely find it.”
Cheryl and Trevin nodded heavily.
“Hey, old man.”
Chamber walked up to Glenn and snapped his finger.
“What is the relationship between Raon and the Sword Demon? “Do you think that person over there is a real grandfather?”
She broke through the silence and tilted her head as if she had heard the conversation, saying she did not understand.
“I do not know. So…”
Glenn turned his gaze in the direction where Rektar had left and let out a low breath.
“I need to look into that too.”
* * *
Quaaaaaaa!
The space drawn by the sword twists and sinks like a magnet with different poles.
The white-blooded believers hanging in the space were split in half and sprayed with gray-colored blood.
“Tsk.”
Aris trembled with the hand holding the sword and briefly clicked her tongue.
‘It jumped.’
All the white blood cultists and assassins were killed, but the first apostle escaped with injuries. I want to catch him, but now I have work to do first.
“Iliun. “I’ll leave the rest to you.”
Aris ran in the direction of the annex without listening to Foreign Commander Iliun’s answer.
It was very frustrating that I lost my strength due to the sword realm manifestation and could not gain speed.
Wow!
As I was moving, ignoring the strain on my body, a huge explosion occurred in the annex garden.
The ground seemed to collapse and gray smoke rose into the sky.
“That…”
Aris waved her sword with her eyes wide open. The wind from the blade pushed away the smoke, revealing the garden.
The ground had been carved out in the shape of a sword, and beneath it, white-blooded cultists, assassins, and the ghosts of Eden were dead, without even proper forms.
At the end of the dug-out land, in front of the annex, Karun was raising his sword as if to protect Silvia.
“Karun.”
Aris blinked at Karun, who frowned.
“Why are you here? “Are you really here to save Sylvia?”
She let out a sigh as if she couldn’t believe what she was saying.
“Oh, that’s right. My brother came and saved me…”
“No.”
Karun looked at Aris and shook his head firmly.
“I just couldn’t let the trash pollute this land.”
He waved his hands off, saying that he was just trying to deal with those who attacked Sieghart regardless of Sylvia.
“Aren’t you here because you’re worried about your younger brother?”
Aris curled her lips teasingly.
“You would have said no?”
Karun adjusted his grip on his sword and wrinkled the bridge of his nose.
“Whatever the reason…”
Aris smiled slightly as he looked at Karun and Sylvia standing in front of him.
“It’s nice to see family together.”
She nodded as if she liked the sight of her younger siblings.
“joy!”
Karun snorted and turned around.
“Where?”
“Because there is still other trash left.”
He moved towards Bukmangsan Mountain, saying that all enemies who had invaded Sieghart must be killed.
“I heard he really likes Sieghart. I don’t get it.”
Aris shook her head and approached Silvia.
“are you okay?”
“Ah yes.”
Sylvia let out a low breath and nodded.
“I thought it was just in case, but I didn’t know they would really attack.”
Aris said she was dumbfounded and shook her hands.
“Your son is really annoying. “I expected something like this.”
“Because he was wiser than me from a young age.”
Sylvia smiled as if she was happy about Raon’s praise.
“okay. I probably went because I was confident that I would win even if it was a life or death situation. “Don’t worry too much…”
“I’m not worried.”
She shook her head calmly.
“I will return safely today.”
Sylvia smiled slightly, saying that she would prepare dinner with Raon’s favorite menu.
“Can I go too?”
“sure!”
The two entered the annex with smiles on their faces.
* * *
The moment Raon was stabbed in the chest by Beorn’s sword.
-Hey!
Lars rubbed his cotton candy head and aroused his anger.
-You will receive back twenty boxes of mint chocolate later! Not twenty! Twenty boxes! One hundred!
He shouted Mint Choco and used his anger to block the white blade that was trying to pierce Raon’s heart.
‘shit! ‘There is no other way!’
Because Raon was unconscious, Demonic Advent could not be used.
If I were to enter its body now, it would cause an explosion and kill even the Gwipa and the Gwangpungdae children on the surface.
Even if the causality was disrupted and my soul suffered a great shock again, I had no choice but to take action indirectly.
-I barely recovered, but I ended up fainting again… Hmm?
Lars’ anger reached its maximum and his eyes narrowed.
Blue droplets of water appeared between Raon and the blade that was about to pierce his chest.
-Those water droplets…
are not the anger that I caused. The water droplets had a smooth flow as if Mother Nature’s mana had condensed on its own.
At the level of the human who stabbed Raon, he would not even be able to properly feel that the water droplets were blocking the blade.
‘I don’t know what it is, but I’m glad.’
Thanks to the water droplets, I was able to protect Raon from the sword even without using a lot of anger.
However, the person caught in the act raised Kang Hwan to ensure the death of Ra On.
Wow!
Kang Hwan, who emerged from the guy’s swordplay, created a huge explosion and swept over Raon’s entire body.
-Oh my god!
Ras showed off his spirit and summoned frost.
I was trying to block Kang-hwan’s explosion with a wall of frost seeping into anger, but the energy of pure water moved once again.
Hwaaaaa!
The energy of water rose above the wall of frost, and as before, he was able to block Kang Hwan’s explosion with only a small amount of anger.
However, because Kang Hwan’s power was so strong, Ra On fell into the depths of the river, and the requiem sword that was in front of him fell to the river bottom with a great impact.
-Who on earth…
Ras lowered his gaze in the direction where the requiem sword fell. The water energy that had helped me a little while ago came from that direction.
Hwaaaah.
Blue eyes flashed in the dark river water, and a small hand appeared, holding the sinking Raon tightly. It had webbed fingers between its fingers like flippers.
-You, you!
Ras opened his eyes round as he recognized the identity of the monster with glowing blue eyes.
It was a little fish that Raon saved his life and even gave him a name.
-It’s been a while! So… what was your name? Was it Dark?
I couldn’t remember his name, so I called him roughly. He raised his finger and drew a bluish circle.
Wooooow!
The concentric circles that bloomed from the guy’s gesture overlapped into one, and a door leading to another place opened.
It seemed like they were trying to get Raon out of this place.
-Now, wait a minute!
The ear piece on the surface of the water was about to come down, so I tried to tell it to stop, but the fish kid seemed to think Raon was in danger, and went into the round dimension without even looking at him.
-No way! This time, where are you going again… Gurgling!
I felt a painful sensation as if I was drinking water through my nose, and when I opened my eyes, I saw a bright place where my vision was wide open.
-here is?
The houses seem to have been built underwater, and the houses with the light current passing by came into view. They were cute buildings that looked like they were made of colored pebbles.
-When was this house built?
It has become a completely different place from when I visited Raon before.
I thought it was amazing and looked away, and the fish kid put Raon down on the floor.
-This guy hasn’t changed at all.
The Cheonglu kid whom Raon named Kkamgami(?) was still small and cute.
“Raon…”
He placed his hand on Raon’s bleeding chest with sad eyes.
As light sprouted from his hand, Raon’s wounds slowly began to heal.
-No, other things have changed besides my appearance.
The energy of the water in the darkness was so great that it would not be strange to call it the river itself. I felt like I was watching a top level shaman.
Even when I had to block a strong attack from a red-faced human, I was able to save my anger thanks to the energy of the water.
-What a lucky guy… Huh?
Lars looked at Raon, savored his appetite, and then widened his eyes.
-What is this guy again?
When I took the time to look at it, I saw that Raon’s strength had changed to a level different from before he went to sleep.
It must not have been that long, but I couldn’t believe that things had changed this much.
-What’s even more absurd…
What’s even more surprising is that he’s still getting stronger.
Raon was growing even while unconscious. It was not simply an effect of laziness or gluttony, but power itself was surging.
-This guy…
Lars frowned deeply while holding Raon’s collar.
-What did you do on your own to become so strong? Get up right now and present it to the king!
* * *
Raon touched his lips as he looked at the eight rings of fire spinning in the sky.
‘The world of imagery.’
I don’t know the exact reason, but I naturally entered this world after my life-or-death encounter with Roman.
I’ve fainted many times before, but this was my first time entering a world of images, so I was a little embarrassed.
‘I don’t know why I came here…’
It’s not a bad thing.
Thanks to coming back to the world of judging, I was able to realize what I had gained and how much I had grown.
‘I especially learned about Gaebyeok.’
Gaebyeok, the sword world manifested by Roman, is not an ordinary swordsmanship.
Since it was a martial art that reflected the swordsmanship itself that I had built up, as my swordsmanship level increased, my Gaebyeok also improved greatly.
It is an unfinished shaman, and a shaman who is constantly growing. It was no exaggeration to say that it was a miracle that poured the world of imagination into reality.
Now that I had grown through the decisive battle with Roman, I felt like I could use Gaebyeok stronger than before.
‘Actually, it’s not just Gaebyeok who has become stronger.’
Raon laughed as he saw the sword sprout rising higher than before.
‘The overall swordsmanship itself has grown.’
All the sword skills I was familiar with, from basic sword skills to Manhwagong martial arts and Changgung sword, have improved.
This life-or-death situation was like an opportunity given to me.
It was time to show off my improved sword skills with a satisfied smile.
Quaaaaa!
Red-hot flames burned in the sky on the right, and blue frost rose from the ground on the left.
The flame and frost split the world of images in half and growled as if they were going to eat each other.
Wooooow.
The green wind caught between the flames and the cold trembled, unable to do anything.
Raon curled up his mouth as he looked at the riotous flames and frost, as if the world of imagination was narrow.
‘I understand now.’
Why did I come here?
It was time to bring Mangagong and Glacia to higher heights.
