Episode 397
The ring of fire built around the heart rotates fiercely. The seven rings resonated as if they had become one, and I felt a burning sensation running down my spine.
The tidal wave of the swamp slows down, and the screams and breathing of the people on the walls stop.
A time of super concentration, when everything seems to have stopped.
Raon stepped into that world and called Lars.
-You’ve grown quite a bit to talk to me in the middle of this.
Lars opened his eyes wide, as if a little surprised. As expected, he entered this world together as if he were a soul-connected being.
‘Help me use your skills.’
-technology? Could it be that you are talking about what was shown in the world of images?
‘okay.’
Raon quickly lowered his eyelids.
I only have that skill.
I felt it as I stretched out my hand a little while ago. In this state, even if Glacia’s cold air was poured out, the tidal wave in the swamp could not be frozen. The clumsy frozen pieces of ice will fall and kill more people.
‘Tell me about the technique you used to freeze space itself in my mental world.’
In a hyper-concentrated world, time seems to flow slowly, not actually slowing down. The swamp tidal wave was approaching, so we had to move quickly.
– You look like a shameless guy.
Lars snorted.
-I don’t want to tell you, but even if I did, it would be impossible for you right now.
‘what?’
-That skill can be used only if you have a genius cold power management ability like the original king. A pathetic human like you would have to use it to make icicles.
The guy shook his hand in a circle, saying that it didn’t mean anything.
– What the king recommends is to gather only the mad dog children and put on the curtain of the river. Then only those guys can live…
‘I’ll buy you everything you want from today to the day I return.’
-uh…?
‘If it’s ruined here, you can’t eat grape and blueberry specialties.’
-Uh…?
Lars’ troubles were short-lived.
– Operate Glacia according to the flow of the king right now!
The guy’s coldness penetrates the mana circuit. He raised Glacia to the polarity and followed the flow.
‘Keuugh….’
It felt like the mana circuit would explode from using too much cold air at once, but I gritted my teeth and endured it.
-This time it’s anger.
Anger seeps from Lars. Arousing the rage that clung to the bottom of his soul, he chased the huge flow created by Rath.
‘Keuuugh….’
Raon bit his molars so hard that they broke. I feel like my body is creaking like it’s about to break. He reached out his hand again, enduring the pain of tearing his mana circuit and crushing his bones.
-Release the drawn anger and coldness at once! The name of this technique is…
The moment the tidal wave of the swamp created a huge shadow on the castle wall, it opened the embankment that had been blocked in its grasp.
Chi profit.
Along with the cold sensation as if the blood flowing through my veins was frozen, silvery white frost bloomed from my grasp.
‘Last and most important…’
image.
I drew the image Lars always talked about. I twisted my wrist, imagining that I would freeze all the waves in the swamp. The ring of fire that circulates around the heart resonates with the cold air that spreads across the sky.
It contained the flow of Glacia and poured it out without leaving a single drop of cold.
Quaaaaaaaa!
A flash of brilliant white silver rose from the center of his right hand and covered the tidal wave of the swamp.
Lord of Wrath’s Decisive Battle.
White silver aurora.
The waves in the swamp, which sloped steeply as if they were about to pour, turned silvery white and the flow stopped. It’s not because of hyper-concentration. The swamp itself froze and hardened completely.
oh oh
The tidal wave of the frozen swamp, where not even the slightest mud had flowed, was foreign, as if the world was out of balance.
‘This is the white silver aurora…’
The aurora is called the celestial curtain that covers the sky. It was a majesty worthy of its name.
“Uh…”
“You say this is frozen? Are you human?”
“Mud ice cream…”
Burren and Marta Runan gulped dryly as they watched the shadow of the huge tidal wave blocking the sun.
“Huh!”
“Voice Lord!”
“It’s really crazy…”
“I knew it was a monster…”
The Gwangpungdan who was standing on the wall also fell backwards and their eyes trembled as if they were hit by the blue.
oh oh
Raon continued to operate the ring of fire without even hearing people’s surprise.
‘Damn it…’
It hurts terribly.
Even though the ring of fire was spinning and the level of the soul was raised, the whole body felt like it was being torn apart. too much aura all at once. It was also because it was used the way it was operated for the first time.
“Huh…”
He let out a painful breath and raised his head. I still couldn’t believe that I had created a tidal wave of frozen, silvery mud with my own hands. But now there were more important things.
‘The one who created this tsunami…’
must be him as well.
A tsunami of this magnitude cannot occur naturally in a swamp. It was clear that the wizard who had summoned the Death Knight had done it. I didn’t know where he might be looking, so I kept a calm expression pretending nothing was wrong.
Pudeuk!
Lars gritted his teeth as he looked at Raon, who had a calm expression.
– You madman! How did you do it!
‘Why are you doing this after you told me?’
-That… It
taught me the flow of technology, but I didn’t really know how to do it. I thought it would be moderately frozen and crushed, but this crazy guy really froze the whole swamp wave.
– Because I didn’t know you could really do it!
‘I imagined it.’
-what?’
‘You said it every time. Image is the most important thing when managing mana. I thought of freezing the entire swamp as I reflected on you in the image.’
– Turn it off, I won’t tell you again!
Lars gnashed his teeth as if gritted.
‘are you okay.’
Raon nodded slowly.
‘Because I’ve already memorized it.’
Because he operated the silver aurora while resonating the ring of fire, he learned the flow of cold air. Of course, it would be difficult to use this alone.
– I really don’t have a favorite corner!
‘Sorry. I kind of like you now.’
– Shut that mouth!
Raon smiled lightly and grabbed the blade of the Jecheon Sword. Using a cartoonist, he pulled out his sword while calming the cold air that had filled his body.
Chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!
The strong air fired in a red line cut through the waves of the frozen swamp. Pieces of waves as huge as this castle tilted and poured down.
Aaaaaaagh!
Because it was a huge piece of ice, the floor sank as if it were collapsing.
“Huh….”
When Raon took a slow breath and swept the Jecheon Sword, Wendy Arian and the Hwangjeon Sword Corps ranger captains climbed up the wall.
“Laon!”
Wendy’s lips trembled with a bluish complexion.
“How did this happen? Why did the swamp suddenly become a wave…”
“It’s like a wave coming from the end of the swamp of death.”
“Ah…”
she let out a murky breath as she watched the waves of cut mud frozen to white.
“So is it over now?”
Wendy put her hands together as if to tell me that it’s over. Others moistened their dry lips, as if they wanted to hear the same answer.
“…”
Raon approached the end of the wall without answering.
Koo-goo-goo-goo!
The frozen mud is melted by the black energy that blooms from the ground. The piles of mud that had to go up to the top of the castle walls turned to dust, and after hundreds of years, the blackened ground was revealed.
‘Aura of death.’
– Every time I smell it, it’s a foul smell.
The morale in the land that was suppressed by the wide and deep swamp began to rise.
Raise your gaze to the end of the swamp of death. No, now I sent it to the end of the place called the land of death. I can feel a huge presence in a distant place that I can’t even feel. He was deliberately revealing himself.
“Huh…”
Raon exhaled annoyedly and looked back. I shook my head at the people looking at me with trembling eyes.
“This is the beginning. Prepare for war.”
Seeing that the morale that blooms from the ground is getting stronger, it won’t be long before this place will be filled with the undead. I had to wage a siege with them over this castle.
‘The fortunate thing is…’
It’s a little bit prepared.
As soon as Wendy Arian took over as temporary head of household, he replenished war supplies and trained people, so at least he was ready to fight.
“That war?”
Wendy covered her mouth and shook her shoulders.
“War…”
“It will start soon.”
“War…”
Her cheeks and neck turned red as if she felt the energy of death welling up from the earth.
“What should I do first? ready once. No contact…”
“Wendy-sama.”
Raon approached Wendy, who seemed to be in a panic.
“I don’t have much time. Aryan family. In order to save those people, you, who knows this place best, must move.”
“Ah…”
he said, pointing to the Aryans looking up at the top of the walls. Wendy’s trembling stopped when she saw the shaking eyes without proper pillars.
“All right.”
Wendy clenched her fists until they were bleeding and nodded.
“From now on, we are entering wartime posture! Swordsmen and Rangers, prepare for a siege!”
“All right!”
Perhaps because she was disciplined, not only the sword belt but also the rangers trembled and started to move quickly.
Ding Ding Ding!
The emergency bell rang for the first time in hundreds of years, and everyone in the family began preparing for war.
After checking the busy people, Raon turned around.
“set.”
As if realizing that it was not the time to play pranks, Gwangpungdan stood up straight on top of the castle wall.
“As I said earlier, the war against the undead will begin soon. Go to your inn, do the exercises, and come back.”
“W Do you want to practice?”
“Can I stay here?”
“The vice-lord is also weak.”
“that’s right. The seniority should be done by the vice-dan master.”
Perhaps because they had been together for such a long time, Gwangpungdan also noticed that Raon was tired.
“I can do it here too.”
Raon shook his head. He was still operating the Ring of Fire, so it wasn’t that difficult to recover from internal injuries to this extent.
“You guys have been sparring all morning. Go quickly and recover your body and mind to perfection and come back.”
Looking back at the land where scams bloom, he twisted his mouth.
“Because if it’s not now, there won’t be time to practice.”
“Ugh…”
“My flesh is shaking…”
“Okay.”
Gwangpungdan nodded without hesitation any longer and ran down the wall.
“Dorian. for a moment.”
“yes?”
“Perhaps…”
Raon called Dorian, who was about to go down at the end, and asked if there was one thing.
“Oh, of course it is. It’s a necessity. Take it out now… Huh?”
He put his hands in his stomach pockets and stopped.
“But wouldn’t our mission fail if we used that?”
“are you okay.”
Raon smiled lightly and shook his head.
“Because that’s also the power of my no, Gwangpungdan.”
* * *
Even after everyone left, Raon remained on the wall and watched the Land of the Dead. Thanks to the ring of fire, the internal wounds had subsided, and even though there were people from the Aryan family preparing for war with courage, the uneasiness did not go away when I looked at the ground.
‘It’s poisonous now.’
The morale rising from the land beneath the swamp grew infinitely stronger. Ordinary people without mana could not breathe the moment they got out of this wall and collapsed.
-That’s not the only problem.
‘yes.’
Raon nodded and looked at the end of the land of death. An uncountable number of undead were being summoned from that end.
The energy of the monsters, which had been further strengthened by the power of the terrible morale, touched his skin.
‘Very dangerous…’
-No, not that! No grape sandwiches and blueberry pie!
‘Now is not the time to eat.’
-Because the main king doesn’t know such a thing! Keep your promise!
‘The shop is closed.’
– Then open it!
When Raon pushed Lars away like a swamp, Wendy Arian came running.
“There is a problem with nothing.”
“If there is a problem…”
“The emergency communication network is not connected!”
Wendy scratched her arm with her fingernails, saying that emergency communications had not been established for several hours.
“I thought so.”
Raon nodded calmly. I didn’t think that the monster that summoned the growing Death Knight and made waves into the swamp would leave an emergency contact line to contact elsewhere.
“Then…”
“Now we have to fight like this.”
Raon took out two rings from his bosom and put them on his fingers. One was a blue and red ring from the Yonan family, and the second was a ring from the great wizard Chamber in the movie.
“Whoa…”
Wendy clenched her fists as she slapped her forehead.
“You’re saying that we have to endure somehow.”
She clenched her sword tightly as if resolving her will.
“you’re right.”
When Raon nodded, a group of gwangpungdan came up on the wall. Everyone’s complexion was brighter than before because they had returned from the exercise.
“We are done.”
“Because we will protect this place. This time you…”
As Martha was about to tell her to come after doing the exercises, she felt the ground shake from behind.
Everyone, including Raon, ran to the wall and saw the land of the dead.
Deud deude deuk!
With a grotesque sound like a flower made of bones, gray skeletons and green-colored zombies dug up the ground and stood up. As if sprouts sprouted from seeds sown throughout the land of death, undead began to rise everywhere except in front of the Aryan family castle.
“Ah….”
“Mi crazy…”
“Are those all undead?”
“Can you stand this?”
As countless numbers of undead stood up, the rangers waiting on the wall trembled.
“Are there a lot of these?”
Burren chewed his lips as he watched the endlessly rising skeletons.
“Somehow I can see more undead heads than ground!”
Marta clenched her fists and glared at the zombies.
The two of them also frowned, swallowing dry saliva, as if they hadn’t expected it to be this high.
“It’s like marble ice cream.”
Runaan licked his lips while looking at the skeleton’s head. He was a very unusual child to think like that even in the middle of this.
“Whoa…”
“Won’t the castle collapse?”
“Then it’s all over.”
“Be noisy and ready. Coming soon.”
When everyone was nervous about the overwhelming amount, the undead lined up like an army and turned around.
They knelt down and wept grotesquely at the three pillars in the land of the dead, not the Aryan castle.
ugh!
Grrrrr!
that’s a glimmer of darkness The undead bowed their heads to the master who summoned them for the first time in hundreds of years and sang a song of worship.
Just as a priest worships God and gains divine power, the energy of death in them grew thicker.
Aaaaaaaaa!
Aaaaaaaaaaaaa!
As the countless undead sang of death, even the sun hid itself in the clouds as if frightened.
The sky turned gray and the atmosphere of the fortress wall, which had been fighting hard, became gloomy as if it had become a portrait.
There was not even a sound of breathing, as if no one was there.
“What is this!”
“What are those guys doing!”
“The cow’s hands and feet are shaking…”
“Are you getting power from the devil?”
Not only the Rangers and the Imperial Sword Corps, but also the Gwangpungdan’s faces turned pale from the singing of the undead.
“You’re fucking.”
Raon laughed and pulled out the Celestial Sword. He pulled the right arm back, raising the cartoonist to the extreme. As if shooting a bow, he thrust out a sword with condensed flames.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
A firestorm erupted from the entire sword body and swept away the undead horde calling for darkness.
Hundreds of undead melted away without leaving a single bone fragment.
The endless resounding song of the bastards stopped and the light of the sun that had sunk shone on the wall before it was revived.
“Rabid.”
Raon turned around. He smiled at the eyes of the people whose fighting spirit began to burn like a ember.
“Originally, the meat attached to the bone is the most delicious.”
He raised his heavenly sword and pointed at the countless undead still remaining.
“Eat them all.”
