Episode 249
-I can’t even properly grasp the opponent’s capabilities…
Lars frowned as if he was dumbfounded.
-It looks like the sword stuck in your head has grown into two.
The guy clicked his tongue, saying he was fighting someone he couldn’t win.
Raon ignored Lars’ mockery and gave strength to the hand holding the Celestial Sword.
who doesn’t know that
Of course I know that I can’t win against Roman. What you’re doing right now is gambling. Everyone was in the process of tossing a coin to survive safely.
He exhaled a deep breath that filled his lungs and looked at Roman. His eyes turned this way for the first time.
‘Looking at my sword.’
He was looking at Glacia’s coldness dwelling in the Celestial Sword, not himself who had asked to fight. It seemed that he was trying to figure out Chungwoo, who had just defeated all the soldiers of the North and South Alliance.
‘As expected.’
Looking at the Aura in this situation, it was clear that he was a man crazy about martial arts, as rumored. The chance of survival increased by more than 30%.
“Did you stun them with an aura in your sword?”
Roman narrowed his eyes as he looked at the bandits who had passed out while biting the bubble.
“At the moment when the sound of friction and sword strike spreads, you manipulated the aura and shook the nervous system.
He grasped Chungwoo’s operation method at once and nodded as if he was interested.
“I’ve seen many attacks with musical instruments, but it’s the first time I’ve touched a person’s nervous system with a sword. Creative yet effective. But that way is difficult. Even if you want to follow it, it will be difficult.”
Roman laughed as he touched the red ax blade.
“It feels like a pity. Now that you’ve seen something good, you’ll think the cheeky words you just said came out the wrong way. back off.”
He smiled contentedly and looked away.
“It didn’t come out wrong. I will be your opponent.”
Raon shook his head resolutely.
cooong!
He hit the floor with the ax that Roman was holding. An unbelievable pressure was transmitted just by giving strength to the gaze.
“Are you really going to deal with me?”
“Yes.”
Raon resonated the ring of fire. He raised the level of the soul that Lars had grown and pushed back Roman’s gipa.
“It’s pretty good. Much better than I’ve heard. It’s just…”
Roman nodded slowly, then gained momentum. A weight different from that of a moment ago pressed down on his entire body.
“Get to know your subject.”
Red anger bloomed in his eyes, probably because he interfered with the battle with Rimer.
“Because you can’t even block this blow.”
Roman raises the axe. A sword ring sprouted from the red ax blade and created a mighty air current.
“It is the last warning. Get back before I split your head.”
Despite the strong warning, Raon did not back down and did not lower his sword.
“Raon.”
Rimmer, who was watching how he came out, blocked his way.
“That’s right. He’s not the guy you’re dealing with yet.”
“you’re right. You can’t win ‘now’.”
Raon nodded and smiled lightly.
“now? So do you think you can win in the future? He really is a kid who doesn’t know the subject.”
Roman snorted and lowered the axe. Kang-hwan, who had been gathering, dispersed like smoke. It seemed like he was completely ignoring Raon.
“You look like you want to fight a strong martial artist.”
Raon twisted his chin while meeting Roman’s eyes full of ridicule.
“Of course. The stronger the stronger the better. If it’s enough to cut my throat, it’s even more welcome.”
Roman smiled coolly, as if he were serious about what he said. Hearing that, I was convinced that the rumor that the reason he was in the North-South alliance was because of the sparring with the North-South alliance was true.
If you do what you think, you can end this fight.
“Then I will show you. I will become stronger than you and come back with a martial arts sword to decapitate you.”
With those words, Raon’s momentum rose like flames. His whole body wriggled with spirit to the extent that even Roman or Rimer couldn’t beat him.
“It turned tight. What’s the point of coming back when I die…”
“Three years.”
Raon raised his left hand and spread his fingers.
“Within three years, I will come to slit your throat with martial arts that will make you astonish.”
At the word three years, silence hung over the deck.
“Puhahahaha!”
Rimer burst into laughter in a serious mood.
“yes. For Raon, three years is enough.”
He nodded, saying that it was possible.
“Looks like there are only crazy people in Gwangpungdan, as the name suggests.”
Roman frowned. With a frowning expression as if he was bored, he created tremendous momentum.
“Did grandmasters look down on you for becoming a master at such a young age?”
The black aura that burned over the ax shook like it was about to explode.
“Achieving Grand Master has nothing to do with how old you become. If you don’t get realization, you may not reach that level even if it takes your whole life. Talking about a level you haven’t even climbed…”
“Is it scary?”
Raon laughed coldly.
“You said you wanted to die because of the strong martial arts, so are you afraid of my 3 years later?”
“This crazy bastard…”
“Three years is more than enough time to decapitate you with a level of martial arts that will satisfy you.”
“good night! Suppose that such a thing could happen. But why should I let you go?”
Roman showed this and laughed. It was a bloody smile like looking at a beast.
“If I kill everyone but you, wouldn’t your vengeance make you stronger?”
He raised the ax as if threatening, and created a powerful illusion with the condensed aura.
“Human beings show great power when they have a vengeance. If what you’re saying is true, I’ll just have to kill everyone here and save you.”
Roman lifted his chin as if he had noticed all of his thoughts.
“What are you misunderstanding?”
Raon raised the corners of his mouth as he watched Kang Hwan sway in front of the axe.
“If you fight here, you will die too.”
“What a crazy sound…”
“You must have felt it too. Danju and you are on the same page. If I and Gwangpungdan defeat Lecter and join together while Danju-nim blocks you, you won’t survive.”
“Do you think that would be possible?”
“A lot will die. The sophomore or all of the members could die. But you all die too. I’ll slash your neck with a simple blade, not the martial arts I love so much.”
Roman and Lecter’s expressions hardened when he said the words plainly, as if that had already happened.
“Lecter. What do you think of what he said?”
Roman asked without even looking at Lecter.
“Well, I think it’s worth it.”
Lecter nodded slowly.
“what?”
“My older brother may not know it, but the reason why Raon Sieghart’s name spread throughout the continent is because he always grew up with stronger opponents than himself. When I was an expert, I once defeated an apostle who was a master.”
He smiled lightly and continued.
“It’s clear that I’m on a higher level than Raon, but considering how fine I was even after holding a tiller and the martial arts I showed a little while ago, it’s clear that I have a hidden trick. If I’m with Gwangpungdan, there’s a pretty good chance I’ll lose.”
Lecter calmly spoke of the possibility of his own defeat.
“Tsk.”
Roman clicked his tongue briefly. He seemed to be thinking the same thing as Lecter.
“I begged for my life, damn it…”
“What are you misunderstanding. I am not begging or begging you. I am proposing.”
Raon clenched his fist. A request is a hand that kneels and offers, and an offer is a hand that is handed over on an equal footing. Never stand in a low position.
“I’m going to die miserably in a joint attack here. Choose whether you will die in 3 years from martial arts that surpass yours.”
“Kuh! Ha ha ha ha!”
Roman burst into a frenzy while holding onto his forehead. After laughing madly for a while, I slowly lowered my head.
“What is the name of the martial arts you raised?”
“Cheongwoo.”
“Blue rain. okay. There was definitely the sound of rain. It was pure and quiet.”
He closed his eyes for a moment, as if trying to remember the sound, then opened them.
“I could feel your temperament in that martial arts. Did you make it yourself?”
Raon didn’t answer.
“The reason your bluff doesn’t sound like a lie is because of the ignorance of that young man. I can’t help but be excited because I’ve revealed a mystery that I’ve never seen from anyone.”
Roman nodded and put the ax back.
“good night. I will accept your ‘proposition’.”
It went as planned, but Raon did not relax. Because Roman’s words weren’t over yet.
“If it’s just an ugly lie you spit out to get over this situation, cancel it right now. As soon as I return, I will spread the decision to die with you three years later throughout the continent.”
“I don’t lie like you.”
Raon shook his head.
“In the name of Sieghart. No, I swear in the name of Raon Sieghart of the Legendary Swordsman. In three years, we will have a duel at the place where Sieghart’s land and Ravel River meet.”
“I like to read my partner’s heartbeat.”
Roman smiled and hit his left chest.
“Your heartbeat is strangely calm. It’s funny to think that you can surpass me in 3 years, but I’m looking forward to it.”
He saw Rimmer smiling beside him.
“Sieghart’s lightsaber. This time, thanks to his subordinate, his life was saved.”
“Are your ears blocked? You’re the one who saved Raon’s life, right?”
Rimmer giggled.
“What do you guys think? Do you really think he can surpass me in three years?”
“Tell me what are you doing?”
He waved his hand, saying it was natural.
“That guy is my disciple and subordinate. In three years, people like you will be looking down from up there.”
“It’s the first time I’ve actually seen Cheongchuleoram.”
Roman laughed and put the ax over his shoulder.
“Raon Sieghart. I’m looking forward to the next 3 years. At that time, complete Cheongwoo and come back.”
He grinned, kicked off the deck, and climbed into the bad luck. Moments later, bandits descended on ropes and carried away the stunned warriors.
“I’m glad it ended well.”
Lecter, who had been watching him, approached and smiled.
“Why did you help us?”
Raon looked at Lecter with wary eyes. If he had said he would fight to the end, it wouldn’t have ended so easily.
“I thought it would be fun.”
“fun?”
“okay. I was curious to see where you would go in three years.”
He grinned and said he wanted to see the future.
“Hmm…”
Raon narrowed his eyes.
‘I don’t know.’
Unlike Roman, who is crazy about martial arts, Lecter’s inner thoughts are not well understood. I didn’t know what he was thinking or what his intentions were.
“Ah, but don’t get me wrong. Because this is not over.”
“What do you mean?”
“We met you guys by chance while going to a dungeon, not looking for white spears.”
“Dungeon?”
“I stopped by on my way to find a famous mage’s dungeon in the Norris area.”
Lecter muttered several names as if he was confused about the wizard’s name.
“ah! It’s Lohengrin!”
I’ve heard of “Lohengrin…” .
A person who lived in the same era as the Witch of Betrayal, Merlin, and was a wizard whose name was left in history because he was talented not only in magic but also in astrology and alchemy.
“okay. I happened to see you guys while visiting the wizard’s dungeon. Of course, if everything you said is told, the North and South Alliance will not touch you, but one person is different.”
“One?”
“There is one old monster who is the elder of the Maeng and the grandfather of Tiller. In fact, it was because of his influence that Tiller became Lord Lord’s disciple.”
Rector’s smiley expression hardened.
“Be careful, the man might move.”
“Why are you telling me this?”
“It’s not fun if you die before three years have passed.”
He smiled that light laugh again.
“Lecter! If you’re not coming, leave it!”
“Ah, I get it!”
Hearing Roman’s voice from above, Lecter hurriedly kicked off the ground and climbed up with bad luck.
“Go back blind!”
“uh? Aren’t you going to the dungeon?”
“The excitement has risen.”
From the top of the bad luck deck, Roman looked down.
“Now that we have new food, we should prepare to chew it.”
He gave a cool smile and turned around.
Whoa!
Like the first time I saw it, the bad luck left with a mighty boat sound.
“Whoa…”
Limer let out a sigh after the bad luck disappeared. It staggered for a moment, but soon got back on track.
“Are you okay?”
“of course.”
He shook his hand as if it was nothing.
“Are you really okay?”
“You don’t know me? it’s me me Sieghart’s lightsaber! Rimer! If I had fought that ax murderer, I would have won.”
“What would you do?”
I was relieved by Rimmer’s voice as usual. I smiled and put the Celestial Sword into the scabbard.
“Good job.”
As I was about to look at Gwangpungdan, Rimmer came up to me and put a hand on my head.
“Sweet Lord?”
“If you fought like that, everyone would have died just like you said. I was too late to judge because my head was bleeding. You saved everyone.”
He smiled and pointed back. Gwangpungdan and the villagers who stood in a daze were looking this way.
“I was just doing my job as a vice-owner.”
Everyone’s eyes seemed to reflect gratitude and joy. Feeling embarrassed, I lowered my head.
“But are you really confident?”
“Myself?”
“The confidence to defeat Roman within three years.”
“of course.”
Raon nodded calmly. With the King of Hogu who generously gave, there was a possibility of becoming a Grand Master sooner than 3 years.
-hmm? Why do my ears itch?
Lars scratched his ears saying it was strange.
‘It’s my mood.’
* * *
Raon stood at the headwaters of the Gazelle River and lowered his gaze.
The chieftain of the Qingru tribe raises the receiving seat and memorizes an incantation like the sound of a mountain bird. A strange pattern was engraved on the receiving seat, and the white energy inside began to rotate.
“Kreuk.”
As he nodded his head and entered the Gazelle River, the other Qingru tribes followed him, reciting the spell he memorized.
Chii profit!
The moment the receiving stone touched the river, a blue light appeared from the pattern engraved on the surface. The chief continued to chant magic and completely submerged the receiving stone in the river.
Whoa!
The flickering light from the receiving seat spreads along the flow of the river. The light that started from that small bead spread all over the river before I knew it.
Whoa!
When the Blue Cliff Chief and the Blue Cliffs said the word solido for the last time, the light in the receiving seat became so dark that even the eyes could not open.
As I frowned at the cold light, I heard the clear sound of the river as if my ears were open.
“ah!”
When I slowly open my eyes, I see the river. I couldn’t believe that it was the same place as the muddy river a moment ago. The clear river caught my eye. Even the grains of sand on the floor were clean enough to count.
‘It’s just as I saw it in my previous life.’
Seeing the river clear enough to contrast with the dark river like muddy water, something that made me cry in my heart bloomed.
“Is this the Gazelle River?”
“I have never seen such a clear river.”
“The saying that it is the clearest on the continent was true!”
The Gwangpungdan swordsmen opened their mouths as they looked at the cleared Gazelle River. He had heard that it was clear, but his expression was that he had never imagined it would be as clear as this.
“Wowaaaaaa!”
“haha! This is the gazelle river! cancer!”
“You’re back! I’m back!”
“Haa finally…”
The townspeople looked at the Gazelle River reflected inside, and tears were welling up on their lips with a smile on their lips.
“I connected the receiving seat to the river. Now it will always be sunny like before.”
Garam came back after memorizing a spell and scratched his cheek.
“By the way, go.”
Raon saw Garam and the Cheongru tribe, not the clear river.
“Are you really okay? Much is known about your race.”
Although he did not tell Roman and the bandits, many people knew about the reception stone and the secret of the Qingru tribe. It was surprising that I chose to continue living here.
“huh. I was worried too, but the chief said he was a man. The reason is…”
Garam paused for a moment before pointing his finger at Raon.
“It’s because of Raon.”
“me?”
“huh. Because you explain that you are the chief protecting this place. They said they were a trustworthy race and said they were men. My my…”
“Me?”
“I said he was my friend, so he asked me to trust him more…”
The guy lowered his head, his face dyed red, probably embarrassed.
“I see.”
Raon smiled lightly and looked at the chief of the Blue Clover. He put his hands together and bowed his head. It seemed that he followed human manners. greeted face to face
“Then there will be a lot of work for you in the future.”
“huh? I?”
“You are the only being who can speak both the Qinglou tribe and human language. It means that it can become a passage between people and the Qingru tribe.”
“Ah…”
Garam’s eyes widened.
“What you did before cannot be undone no matter what. Some people in your tribe will resent you.”
“Ugh…”
Garam’s shoulders trembled as if the words were right.
“But you can’t live squatting with your head full of guilt. You connect the passage so that the Qinglou can coexist with humans and live a slightly better life.”
“Passage…”
“From today, the Gazelle River and all villages belonging to the river will belong to Sieghart. because no one will touch Stop worrying and find a way for everyone to live happily.”
“huh!”
For the first time since meeting Garam, he nodded his head with a strong answer.
“Karreuk!”
“ah!”
Garam glanced back at the cry of the chieftain of the Cheongru Tribe.
“Because I have to take a seat. long time.”
“When you’re done, come to town.”
“huh.”
Garam smiled lightly and went into the water with the other Blue Clowns. Because it was a clear river, they all disappeared in an instant, even though they could see inside. That, too, seemed to be witchcraft.
Raon looked for a long time at the spot where the Qingru tribe had disappeared before turning his back.
“We are going back too.”
He approached Gwangpungdan with a smile similar to that shown by Garam.
* * *
“Sweet Lord.”
On the way to the inn, Raon joined Rimmer by his side.
“Are you really okay?”
“Because it’s okay. You saw that light ax was all cut off.”
Rimer waved his hand as if not to worry. I checked his condition with a feeling. There didn’t seem to be any major issues. However, even though his expression was the same as usual, it was strangely ominous.
“Eat this, too.”
Raon took out one of the medicines he had received from the saint from Dorian’s stomach pocket.
“What is this?”
“It is my medicine.”
“Write?”
“It’s medicine, so I’ll use it.”
“Then I won’t eat…”
“Be noisy and take it!”
I forced the internal medicine into Rimmer’s mouth as he shook his head, forcing him to swallow it.
“Don’t wander around needlessly, go in and do some exercises.”
“Ouch, it’s dirty. Do you have any candy?”
“Ah!”
“Ah, what a devil…”
Rimmer frowned and waved.
“Everyone in the Gwangpungdan suffered. Rest today and come back tomorrow…”
“I’ll organize it, so go in and take a rest.”
“i get it. okay.”
He smiled and went into the dorm first.
“Well, you worked hard today. If left untreated, even if it is a small injury, the wound will spread, so the injured person should be able to rest after treating the wound.”
“yes!”
Since it was an order given by Raon as the deputy owner, everyone responded loudly. No one died and the mission was completed, so everyone had a smile on their face.
“Then rest.”
After giving the order and looking at the room where Rimer entered, I turned my back. I was about to go into the room to heal my internal wounds, but I heard a muttering sound from Lars.
-Damn it. I’ll be back soon. will come There’s no way it won’t come….
‘What’s coming?’
Raon tilted his head as he looked at Lars, who frowned. He seemed to be terrified, and he seemed to be angry.
– Don’t you know?
‘What are you talking about. Who’s coming?’
I was nervous because I remembered what Lecter had just said.
-A stupid guy who just moves as planned without thinking will
come soon.
[Victory against someone stronger than oneself…]
[The achievement of the < Ring of Fire > has risen…]
[Invented a new swordsmanship…]
Several messages came up one after another and covered one’s vision.
Raon opened his mouth wide. Now it seems that Lars was afraid of this message coming.
– I knew it would be like this!
Lars yelled at the message.
-I thought you would upload everything without flexibility!
“Huh….”
Lars even gave me an alarm when it wasn’t enough to give the ability.
‘I made a nickname very well.’
No matter who comes to the world, the word las, which is generously given, will not be able to win.
‘There’s this guy, but he’ll be a grand master in three years.’
-I can’t live like this! I can’t live like this!
Raon smiled as he saw Lars struggling and screaming.
‘Please take good care of me in the future.’
