Episode 253
[You see me, right? Say it again! Come on!]
Raon narrowed his eyes as he watched Lohengrin struggling in the air.
‘Is that person really your servant?’
-That’s right.
Lars wrinkled his nose and nodded.
‘But why did I just find out now?’
He may not have known his name since he used the pseudonym Lohengrin, but it didn’t make sense that he hadn’t recognized his powers.
-Do you still not know?
‘what?’
– That guy is already dead.
‘ah!’
Raon swallowed a dry saliva. He spoke and moved so vividly that he had forgotten, but now Lohengrin was a legless, translucent ghost.
-Most of the abilities lent to that guy with glasses have already returned to the main body of the king.
Lars shook his head at the ice flowers painted on Lohengrin’s robes.
– Recognizing the spirit of that degenerated guy as he dies is no different from finding a glass of beer that has been spilled downstream from the upper river.
‘Right.’
It was natural.
Lohengrin is one of the heroes who fought Merlin, the Witch of Betrayal, hundreds of years ago. Even if the lifespan of Masters and high-ranking mages is long, it is impossible for them to live until now.
‘Then what is that condition? Are you really a ghost?’
Raon asked while looking down at Lohengrin’s transparent tail sticking out from between the blue robes.
-That’s not a ghost. residual thoughts. It is the shell of the soul that cannot leave this world because of resentment.
Lars let out an annoyed breath.
-Just as resentment dwelled in the crappy dagger you possessed, that guy also had lingering lingering feelings and became such a mess.
‘What lingering feelings do you have?’
I wondered what kind of resentment the sorcerer called a hero had left to become like that.
-That….
‘That?
-How could the king know that!
Lars waved his hand.
‘If you don’t know, who knows? You must have been watching.’
Raon tilted his head. I would have stuck by your side like now, but I couldn’t understand that you didn’t know that.
-Do you think everyone is like you…
Lars grinded his teeth to make a sound.
-That spectacled man gave his strength through the whim and consideration of the original king!
Anger welled up in the boy’s eyes.
-You guys! Didn’t you call the original king and rob the original king of everything! It’s a different story with the difference between heaven and earth!
‘Ah…’
Raon slowly lowered his eyes.
‘I guess so.’
Every time Lars lost his abilities, he screamed and passed out, saying that this was the first time he had ever had an enemy like this. Considering that reaction and what he was saying now, it seemed that Lohengrin and himself were in opposite situations.
[Can’t you hear me! Answer me quickly!]
Raon did not look at Lohengrin. I looked down at Lars to gather a little more information.
‘What do you mean by caring and capricious?’
-Why would the king say that!
‘Add 2 Pineapple Pizzas.
– How long do you think I’m an insectivore!
‘I told you to make shrimp pizza before the toddler leaves?’
-New shrimp?
‘Put beef on top of shrimp and two pieces of pineapple on top…’
– At first, it was similar to you. Then…
Lars opened his mouth right away. quickly and cheerfully.
* * *
I felt someone’s anger when I was taking a break in my hometown after the war with < Pride >. I was interested in the anger that came from another dimension other than the demon realm.
After using the alter ego to divert the attention of the mediators, they headed to the place where the mighty wave of anger occurred.
“Quaaaaaaagh!”
A city engulfed in flames. On the ground covered in corpses and blood, a young man with reddish green hair burst out screaming.
“kill! I’ll kill you! I will kill them all!”
Black blood flowed from the eyes and mouth of the young man who was venting his grudge against someone. A feeling of anger was killing his heart.
Obvious.
Most of the emotion called anger comes from others. The author was burning his heart with anger at losing his family and village to someone.
I approached the young man and asked what he wanted. He looked me in the eye for a while before opening his mouth.
“strength! I want the power to kill demons in human skin!”
This was obvious too.
Because all those who want revenge and are angry want power.
It was a waste of time.
As he was about to return, the young man’s last words passed by his ears.
“There are demons that you must not walk on your own feet. I will freeze them alive and make them suffer for the rest of their lives.”
My footsteps stopped naturally at the sound of the words that seemed to crush my bones. Because that’s what I used to say to other demons.
I asked for your name.
“It’s Roen Yellow.”
The young man brushed up his green hair and replied.
Is it caring? Or is it a whim? Using the system, I engraved my affinity for cold and water attributes on the young man.
“thank you!”
Realizing that he had gained strength at once, Roen Yellow lowered his head.
“When my vengeance is over, I will give you my soul! God of wrath!”
He was a guy who read too many novels. He shook his head, saying that the emotion of anger was enough. What the demon king needs is not a clumsy human soul.
“Then just say something!”
He said it was okay, but Roen Yellow did not back down, holding on to the crotch of his trousers.
“You really can take my soul!”
He told me to improve the traits I passed on because it was annoying.
“I will do my best!”
Only then did Roen Yellow let go of his pants.
“I will live for God after I get my revenge with this Loen Yellow!”
I said don’t be fooled and change your name. Because the name Roen Yellow didn’t suit her green hair.
Returning to Pandemonium, I occasionally checked out Roen Yellow. The guy grew stronger and gathered people. The stronger it got, the bigger the emotion of anger, so it became an appropriate snack.
By the time the young man who killed himself in anger became an old man, he succeeded in revenge with his colleagues and put down all his anger.
Not bad.
It was a fun entertainment for a fleeting whim, so I cut off the link with the guy after delivering the last words to live well.
Not long after that, < the incident > broke out.
The one I met after waking up was a real devil who would cry even in the demon realm.
* * *
Raon looked at Lars and nodded slowly.
‘I see.’
now i get it
All questions were answered as to why he felt familiar in the dungeon’s coldness, how he had found the golem’s core at once and found the passage in the cave.
‘It was thanks to Glacia.’
It was because Lohengrin, who created this dungeon, was a servant who had received cold and water affinity from Lars before him.
‘It’s fun.’
I laughed at how things turned out this way. Although the use of magic and swordsmanship was different, Lohengrin was like a brother-in-law.
‘This person didn’t live an easy life either.’
When I read it as a book, I thought it was a typical and boring hero, but it wasn’t at all. Even with the help of Lars, he was a real hero who overcame severe sadness and pain to achieve his goal.
‘Then what’s the lingering feeling?’
All other questions were answered, but it was unknown what kind of lingering feelings he had after avenging his family and village.
‘Are you and I the only ones who can see Lohengrin?’
-It will be. Khumm I happened to say everything, but…
Lars scratched his chin as if he was embarrassed.
-If you have a conscience, don’t even think about using that guy and let go of
your lingering feelings.
Raon spoke only to Lohengrin so that Dorian could not hear him.
If you saw that he shouted at the beginning that he was a god of wrath, he would still think of Ras as a god.
-Yumma!
Lars shouted, but he ignored it and raised his head.
[What kind of foot and skinned sound was that! Wherever you look, you are a priest who worships the god of wrath!]
“Are you suspicious even though I opened this secret passage and saw you directly?”
[That’s…]
“I’ll show you.”
Raon laughed and aroused the anger of Lars and Glacia at the same time that clung to his soul.
oh oh oh!
Lohengrin’s jaw dropped open as the flames of rage simmered over his shoulder.
[Heo Eok! That blue fury is His!]
“Do you see now?”
[A lowly servant meets the Priest of Wrath!]
Lohengrin knelt in the air and bowed his head.
‘It goes as expected.’
In order to deceive the opponent, a little truth, detailed lies, and plain acting skills are required, but now all of them are equipped. No one was bound to be fooled.
“Seeing that it has become a residual thought, it seems that there are many lingering feelings in the world.”
[To be able to recognize it at once, you must be a priest!]
Lohengrin shook his head in admiration.
-Isn’t that all what the king said! Ino oh oh man! This bloodless, tearless demon!
Lars screamed and ran.
‘Think carefully.’
Raon calmly blocked Lars.
‘Is your subordinate still in a ghost state like that because he still has lingering feelings?’
-Yes! But you’re using it…
‘Am I the only one who can relieve those lingering feelings right now?’
-Is that so?
“Because I can’t see the others,” Lars muttered.
‘I’m up here right now, and there’ll be Lohengrin’s legacy and those who went in first down here.’
– By the way?
‘If I can’t eat the legacy, will I be able to relieve Lohengrin’s lingering feelings? Wouldn’t you do something strange out of regret? Oh, I don’t know either.’
-Ugh…
Lars’ mouth fell open.
‘Chu is quite possible.’
This guy is the one to do it for sure!
Raon Sieghart, whom we have seen so far, was a demon who did not hesitate to shed blood and tears for his goal. If he made a mistake, he might keep Loen Yellow tied to this world.
‘That’s not allowed.’
Even if it was just a whim or consideration, I couldn’t leave the guy who I once made into a subordinate like that.
-Damn
it…
‘I guess they think I’m a real devil.’
No matter what happens to the inheritance, Lohengrin’s lingering feelings will be resolved. However, since we met like this, I just wanted to go down the dungeon more comfortably and quickly.
“What is your regret?”
[Could you go down and tell me about that? I will guide you.]
Lohengrin bowed his head apologetically.
“Heh.”
-Turn it off!
When Raon smiled and looked away, Lars lowered his head with a look of despair.
“Please guide me.”
[Okay.]
Lohengrin said to follow me and entered the passage that opened in the cave.
“let’s go.”
Raon gestured to Dorian and followed after Lohengrin.
“No…”
Dorian swallowed, looking at Raon’s back.
“What are you doing right now! Why are you talking to yourself that you can’t hear and keep looking into space!”
He shook his chin and held his hands tightly.
“I’m afraid of this! If you are a ghost, tell me quickly! tell me! hey!”
* * *
“Heo Eok! Huh!”
Crane looked back, wiping the sweat from his forehead. The faces of the members of the team running towards us were pale and weary as if they would collapse if touched.
‘Of course.’
It was only natural that both the body and mind were exhausted, as it had been almost a day since he had abandoned his horse and stepped on foot with all his might.
“Chief Joe.”
Crane called Burren, who was running at the front. Burren simply turned his head away without answering.
“Now, let’s rest for a while. At this rate, everything will fall.”
“Um…”
Burren stopped when he heard the crumpled faces and muddy breathing of the team members.
“Take a break for 10 minutes.”
“Ughhhh!”
“Ahh!”
“I’m going to die…”
As soon as the rest was ordered, the prosecutors sat down on the floor and began to breathe.
“That foreman. No, Mr. Burren.”
Crane caught his breath and stood next to Burren.
“Why don’t you move around a little bit? I know it’s urgent, but if it continues like this, everything will spread.”
There is a big difference in fatigue between walking at high speed and walking with full power.
If you keep your speed now, you’ll run out of aura and you’ll all fall down. The other swordsmen looked at Burren with tired eyes, as if they had similar thoughts.
“Even I don’t know why you guys are having a hard time.”
Burren sighed and turned his head.
“But Danju-nim was overdoing it for us and ended up in such a state, and Raon entered the dungeon with only one Dorian to save Danju-nim.”
“Ah….”
“Looking at the fact that the rumors of the dungeon spread to the North and South Alliances, not only the sixth emperor, but also other forces must have entered.”
Right now, Raon must be struggling not only with the traps and barrier monsters created by the wizard Lohengrin, but also with other competitors.
‘It’s late, so I’ll have to hurry even more.’
Considering the time Lecter told him about the dungeon and Raon’s personality, it was clear that he was breaking through the dungeon by force.
“As long as it’s Raon, I won’t back down no matter who I meet in the dungeon. He is the one who will reach the end of the dungeon no matter what he does, whether he has the elixir or not. That’s why we have to run too. Even if I collapse from exhaustion!”
“Umm…”
“Huh, that’s right.”
“If it’s the incessant owner, then it will remain.”
As soon as Burren’s words were finished, the third group of stormy winds rose up. Fatigue was still there, but there was a gleam in his weary eyes.
“You guys…”
“I rested.”
“yes. Thinking of Danju and Vice-Danju gives me strength.”
“You two must be much tougher than us.”
“Let’s go!”
The members of the Gwangpungdan grinned and turned their ankles.
“good night.”
Burren met their bright eyes and nodded.
“Go again! It doesn’t stop until the branch!”
“yes!”
The third group of stormy winds moved forward with a more vigorous pace than when they started.
* * *
After leaving the secret passage, Raon went down the dungeon again through the official route.
[That platform is a trap. Like a landmine, your entire body freezes as soon as you step off.]
[That space is a barrier called Frozen Hell. Balls with dozens of ice spikes are spread throughout the barrier.]
[Ah, that’s the way to the top again. On the other side, the road is rough and long. There are fewer traps in the middle and it’s faster.]
Lohengrin stayed right beside me and told me where the traps and barriers were, and which way was easier and faster.
‘I bought quite a bit of time.’
I was able to move at a different speed than the people who went before because I went to the route that the wizard who created the dungeon told me directly. Looking at the trail, it seemed that I could catch up soon.
‘That’s not all.’
Raon smiled lightly and pointed to the trap Lohengrin had warned about earlier.
“How do you operate this?”
[Ah, after making a circular sphere with cold air, plant an exploding image so that when the enemy reveals itself, there will be thorns…]
Lohengrin, like a wizard, gave detailed answers to questions about how to operate traps or barriers. Thanks to that, I came up with a way to apply the imagery embedded in his magic to martial arts.
[That floor is the last trap on the third floor. A fourth cavity will appear soon.]
“Yes.”
Raon nodded and lightly jumped over the trap on the floor.
‘It’s convenient.’
It’s fast, safe, and comfortable enough to make you fall asleep. It was, of course, thanks to Lars that he got such a guide.
‘thank you.’
-profit!
As I smiled at Lars, he shook his shoulders in resentment.
‘Maybe I can ask about the artifact now.’
I was afraid that I might doubt it, but by now it wouldn’t be strange to ask.
“There is something I want to ask you.”
[Tell me.]
“Are there any artifacts here that can fix a broken electricity supply or mana circuit?”
[Hmm…]
Lohengrin pondered for a moment before slowly lowering his gaze.
[There will be two.]
“Two.”
Raon nodded his head, hiding his trembling heart.
“The god of wrath wants both.”
-Hey you bastard!
