Chapter 284
Raon put the requiem sword in the neck of the 7 apostles, wrapped his left arm around his neck and stepped back.
I looked back at the man who had been interfering with the 7 apostles held hostage.
He was a middle-aged man with a white coat with ten beads engraved on his left chest, black hair and a gray line in the center of his eyes, like a beast.
‘It must have been the 10 apostles.’
The blood that came from behind was the same as that of the 10 apostles he felt right before he killed the 7 apostles in Forban City.
He got in the way a second time, but this time he was faster.
oh oh oh
The eyes of the 10 apostles slowly rise. Dry eyes, as if facing a drought. Even though the 7 apostles could die right away, the pupils did not waver.
Raon chewed the flesh on the inside of his cheek.
‘It’s filthy strong.’
Perhaps because he became a master, the power of the 10 apostles is transmitted as it is. It was so overwhelming that it was difficult to breathe.
‘Is it still too much?’
Even if he didn’t consume his aura and stamina, nothing would change. The Grand Master is an opponent he cannot defeat even if he dies and wakes up. I had to survive in other ways, not by fighting.
‘There is one, but.’
Raon turned his eyes to the right.
-What are you staring at?
Lars, who had been yawning inappropriately for the situation, frowned.
‘no.’
I shook my head.
I can’t write now.
If you accept Lars into your body, you can survive even if the White Blood Religion comes instead of the 7 apostles.
Now that the Ring of Fire has risen to 7 stars, he may be able to get his body back later. However, since it was said that the moment Lars took over his body, he was 100% out of control, so there was a high possibility that other people above him would also be caught up in it.
‘I’ll have to look at the situation first.’
Raon smiled and shook his head.
“I didn’t know that the White Blood Church was so affectionate.”
Mocking the White Blood Church, the ring of fire resonated and the aura was raised so that the 10 apostles could react no matter how they moved.
“Isn’t this overprotective, even if you’re a priest, chasing after the master and taking care of him? Could you please feed me some rice too?”
“Release.”
The 10 apostles calmed their eyes as if they had the upper hand.
“Don’t give orders.”
Raon smiled coldly and slightly twisted the requiem sword stuck in the neck of the 7 apostles. The flesh was torn and gray blood dripped in chunks.
“Kheuheouk!”
The 7 apostles groaned in pain at the yogi spewing from the requiem sword.
“Four death sentences….”
The 7 Apostles stretched out their hands towards the 10 Apostles. It looked like he was begging for help.
“Even if the White Blood Church doesn’t fear death, they can’t easily fill the Apostolic ranks, right?”
“Kkeuheugh…”
Raon tightly wrapped his grip on the sword of the soul sword. The vibration alone made the 7 apostles tremble all over.
“The seat of the 4 apostles who were killed by me is still vacant. If this guy dies as well, two of the apostles will be left empty. Isn’t that why you’re separated from Oma just because you’re weak?”
Even if the Church of White Blood had the largest number of heads among the Six Emperors, it would not be easy to immediately fill in the apostle-level talent. Now that the 7 apostles are held hostage, they must somehow find a way to survive.
“As you said, the position of the 4 apostles is still vacant. It’s just…”
The 10 apostles shook their heads slowly. I looked down at Raon and the 7 apostles with dry eyes.
“Our school’s strength is not only the apostles. The reason apostles are important is not because of their strength, but because they convey the light and truth of the blood god to the people.”
The 10 apostles spoke slowly with a dry voice. Faith that did not match the desolate expression came out.
‘There are people stronger than the apostles?’
It was something that had not been seen in the memories of the previous life or in the information of the non-banquet.
‘Whether that’s true or not. It means I can’t easily abandon this guy.’
Baekhyeolgyo is a religious organization before it is a military organization. The fact that the rank of an apostle was higher than that of those who were stronger than the apostles meant that the 7 apostles were of sufficient value as hostages.
“I don’t care whether the apostle begs for food or not. All I want is…”
As I was about to tell the 10 apostles to step back, footsteps came from the hole in the ceiling.
“Raon!”
“Unstoppable Lord!”
“Are you alive?”
Gwangpungdan swordsmen, including Runan and Burren, looked down and waved.
“uh…?”
“Wait a minute! That person…”
“Ten apostles!”
“Why is that monster here!”
They immediately recognized the 10 apostles and swallowed dry saliva.
“Don’t move.”
When the 10 apostles tried to raise their heads, they raised the cartoonist. He raised the strongest energy as much as possible and gave strength to the hand holding the soul sword.
“Queuuuuuu…”
The moans of the 7 apostles deepened as the yogi dwelling in the soul sword was amplified by the cartoonist.
“If you move even one step from there, this guy will die.”
The 10 apostles did not even answer and only looked this way. I don’t know if the threat worked or not, but now was my chance to speak.
“Burren! Runan! Take everyone in the city and get out of here!”
Raon screamed at the ceiling to use the only way everyone could live.
“Raon!”
“What are you going to do!”
“Unstoppable lord! No!”
“You trained to fight together!”
Gwangpungdan raised a fighting spirit as if it would come down at any moment without backing down.
‘Those guys….’
Even feeling the terrifying momentum of the 10 apostles and saying that, it was worthwhile to teach them.
I was proud of it, but I couldn’t make it do the stupid thing of breaking a rock with an egg.
“This time is an exception. I can live, so don’t worry about me and take them all out.”
“Raon.”
“You son of a bitch…”
Raon made eye contact with Runan Burren, who showed concern, and smiled lightly.
“You know I never lied, right?”
Seriously. If the gwangpungdan took the people out of the city, there was a possibility that they would call in Lars and catch the 10 apostles.
“See you later.”
At those words, the Gwangpungdan, who had been bowing down, stood up at the same time.
“Gwangpungdan follows the instructions of the incessant caution!”
“Everybody move!”
Gwangpungdan spread in all directions without looking back. Runan watched the longest, but she also bit her lip and left.
“Four death sentences. why are you standing still? If you take them hostage… ghast!”
Raon stopped the 7 apostles from talking and looked at the 10 apostles.
‘Is this strange?’
As the 7 apostles said, the current situation is also an opportunity for the 10 apostles. If you take Gwangpungdan hostage, it’s a chance to shake this side, but he really stayed still. As if all purpose is only here.
‘for a moment.’
Come to think of it…
I don’t know if it’s a Master. If the Grand Master, the 10 Apostles, really made up his mind and aimed for the back, it would be impossible for him to prevent the attack himself. To be honest, if he was sincere, his throat would have been blown off already.
As I reflected on what had happened, a home came to mind that sent chills down my spine.
‘That guy can’t be…’
Is he aiming for me?
It was a perfectly possible assumption if he had no intention of catching members of the Gwangpungdan, had no great interest in the 7 apostles, and the raid was for capture rather than murder.
‘In addition, I gave an explanation about the apostle in vain.’
Just now, the 10 apostles spoke about the role of the apostles, which did not require explanation. Considering the character of a guy who doesn’t talk, it seems that there was an intention in that explanation.
“Are you thinking of making me an apostle?”
The first change in the expression of the 10 apostles appeared at Raon’s low words. His wide-open eyes revealed his surprise.
“Now I understand why he asked me to bring you. He is also someone who looks down on the world from his seat.”
The 10 apostles slowly closed their eyes and then opened them. The wavering eyes hardened like a swamp in winter.
“right. I’ve come to take you Raon Sieghart.”
“What kind of small is that? This bastard is my enemy! To be an apostle!”
The 7 apostles spit out their dissatisfaction until the end on the subject of a knife stuck in their throat.
“It’s Master’s order.”
“Kkeuh…”
He shut his mouth at the words of the leader’s order.
“Raon Sieghart. You don’t have a choice. If you refuse, not a single one of your men will survive.”
“Can’t you see your priest?”
Raon twisted the requiem sword stuck in the neck of the 7 apostles again. Blood flowed down the floor with the sound of flesh being crushed.
“It doesn’t matter if I die.”
“Four death sentences?”
“To the same opponent. It would be more helpful if there were no apostles who had been defeated twice by Ha-su.”
The eyes and voices of the 10 apostles were cool. It was such a cold spirit that I wondered if he wanted to kill the 7 apostles himself.
‘Are you saying the hostages won’t be eaten?’
Thinking back to the description of the apostle, it felt like a bluff, but it was this side that was at a disadvantage.
‘It takes time…’
Gwangpungdan and the people have yet to leave the city. Even if you say rubbish, you have to take your time.
“If I become an apostle…”
Raon bit his lip and looked at the 10 apostles.
“Is it possible to directly learn martial arts from the White Blood Religion Master?”
“Of course. Becoming His disciple is the first step of an apostle.”
“It’s not bad to be taught by one of the strongest people on the continent.”
It was a time when I muttered something thoughtless to pass the time. A ring of fire captured the subtle flow of mana sprouting from the air.
‘That’s…’
Raon swallowed dry saliva as he caught the flow of mana in his eyes.
‘If I do this well…’
Can I live without Ras descending?
* * *
Burren lied to the people who were freed from the bloody plague that the 10 apostles would appear and destroy Gran Seville, and sent them all out of the city.
Remnants of the White Blood Church and blood spirit remained throughout the city, and buildings collapsed like sand castles, so it wasn’t too difficult to convince people.
“How about Group 1?”
“Since we decided to gather at Marta, everyone will be outside! Never mind, run!”
“The leader…”
“I’ll finish checking and go.”
After confirming the last person left in the city with Runan, Burren looked at the pit where Raon and the Ten Apostles were.
I wanted to help, but I knew that going would get in the way, so I bit my lip and left the city.
When we arrived at the place where Marta was, the Gwangpungdan was all gathered.
“What the hell is this! Why is everyone coming out?”
“The 10 apostles appeared.”
“The 10 apostles…”
Martha, who was holding a child in her arms, stood up with her chin shaking. A tremendous energy soared from her empty danteon. It wasn’t an aura, it was an energy that seemed to burn life.
“That bastard came, why are you guys here!.”
“Raon…”
“Leave it alone? We don’t have to kill each other!”
After explaining the situation, Marta wrapped her swordsman around as if she would run at any moment.
“no.”
Runaan gripped Martha’s wrist tightly.
“Leave this! I have to kill the 10 apostles! Raon alone is absolutely impossible!”
“Raon is coming back. I asked you to trust me.”
Even though Marta swung her hand roughly, Runan did not let go of her wrist.
“Let go!”
“Martha. I know the Ten Apostles are your enemies, but now is not the time. It only gets in the way if we go.”
Blood flowed from Burren’s lips.
“Damn it!”
Marta saw Burren’s bloody lips and stomped her foot.
“What happens every time…billion!”
As she cursed and tried to sit down, Runaan struck her in the back of the head with his clenched fist.
Fuck!
Marta rolled on the floor unable to come to her senses from Runan’s sudden attack.
“uh…?”
“Lu Lunan?”
“Chief 2…”
Everyone in Gwangpungdan opened their mouths as they saw Runan.
“What is this crazy bitch doing now!”
Martha shook the dirt from her face and screamed.
“I’m afraid he’ll run away, so I’m going to stop him.”
“Someone stop me like this!”
“you are.”
Runaan pointed at Martha.
“When did I…don’t you…”
Martha frowned. In the past, when I met a madman, Runan had a seizure and hit the back of his neck, knocking him out.
“Is that revenge?”
“Not revenge, but to stop it.”
“That’s revenge!”
“no.”
“Big!”
Martha stopped to punch Runan.
‘This guy…’
Runan’s eyes, usually more dazed than anyone else’s, were shaking violently unlike her. It was clear that he was worried about Raon, who was left alone.
“Whoa…”
Looking into Runan’s eyes, the desire to run disappeared.
“I can’t help it.”
Martha bit her lip and turned her back. All the children rescued by Team 1 were terrified and their shoulders were shaking.
“hey. Feed them… Huh?”
Marta looked at the mad wind club and frowned.
“Why isn’t he there?”
* * *
Raon smiled lightly, ignoring the newly revealed flow of mana.
“If I become an apostle, can I receive the elixir?”
“You can receive His blood, not just a simple elixir. Because he likes you, he will surpass his present state in an instant.”
“It must be because of that blood that this guy became strong.”
I moved the requiem sword and slightly pushed the 7 apostles forward.
“right. If you follow the blood god and believe in it, you will have the same blessing.”
The 10 apostles slowly raised their hands. A white aura burned in his hand to the extent that it looked innocent.
leukemia. It was a state called the extreme of blood.
“Come to White Blood Church. Because if you are, you will be able to gain the honor of serving the gods in a higher place than me.”
“god? It’s a god…”
Raon let out a cold smile as he looked at the white flames burning in the hands of the 10 apostles.
“I don’t believe in God.”
Not just now. Even in my previous life, I didn’t believe in God.
“I’m not interested in things like the god or the holy spirit, but to say it’s a blood god sounds ridiculous.”
Even if they laughed at their god, the 10 apostles did not react.
“The only thing I believe in is myself.”
Raon tapped his chest with his right hand.
“I made a promise a little while ago.”
“promise?”
“It’s a promise I made with them.”
He smiled softly and raised his head. The corpses piled up like a mountain in the cavity come into view.
Numerous corpses whose original faces could not be recognized due to pain and fear were staring at this place with resentment.
“I swore to kill this guy. Gods who do not keep their promises are not popular. I have no intention of leaving a grudge against these people.”
“Kkeuh…”
A trembling mixed with fear was transmitted from the 7 apostles who felt the momentum of the change.
“You…”
The 10 apostles also shook their eyes at the ominous reflection of Raon.
“As expected, the death penalty seems to be important to you too.”
Raon’s soft smile stopped.
“Disgusting.”
With those words, he tore off the requiem sword stuck in the neck of the 7 apostles. Red flames, contrasting with the gray blood, cut the necks of the 7 apostles.
Poududeuk!
Bloody amounts of blood poured from the necks of the 7 apostles along with the creepy sound of bones and flesh being torn apart.
“Four four…”
The seven apostles were unable to speak due to a split throat, and their hands trembled before sinking to the floor. Death was reflected in the pupils that were swollen with pain.
“Raon Sieghart!”
The 10 apostles approached with fury in their fierce eyes. Unexpected power exploded from the grasp of the hand.
Koo Goo Goo!
Raon sighed and drew both swords. When he tried to defend by raising all his remaining auras, the space twisted diagonally and emitted a brilliant light.
Whoa!
A gap in the space that blocked the attack of the 10 apostles widened and a woman wearing a black robe walked out.
“Merlin?”
The 10 apostles frowned at the wrinkled old woman’s mask.
“Haa…”
Merlin let out an excited moan, looking back at Raon, not the 10 Apostles.
“It is only you. You are the only one who will wear that helmet.”
Desire dwelled in her pupils reflected in the mask. The look in his eyes made me feel more desire than when I first saw him in Habun Castle and when I fought Cheryl.
“Come with me. Raon. Look only at me for the rest of my life…”
“Merlin of Eden.”
The 10 apostles glared at Merlin with blood that was different from just before. The white blood burning from him melted the space Merlin had created.
“This is not the time for four years to intervene. go away.”
“You got in between me and Raon.”
“Are you going to break Oma’s pact?”
“convention? Did you do that?”
Merlin floated leisurely into the air, spreading his hands. He smiled as he created a mighty mana that was in no way inferior to the spirit of the 10 apostles.
Raon looked at Merlin’s back and narrowed his eyes.
‘It must have been that guy.’
When he pretended to be interested in the White Blood Church to pass the time, the mana wave caught by the ring of fire belonged to Merlin as expected.
‘He’s been targeting me since we first met.’
Merlin revealed his desire from the moment they met in Habun Castle, and he thought that the 10 Apostles would stop him from taking him because he was obsessed with him on the second battlefield.
So I killed the 7 apostles who could have been saved when it was really not possible and left them behind, and it worked perfectly as expected.
oh oh oh!
The 10 Apostles and Merlin. Only the air waves generated by the two monsters that surpassed the Grand Master created a torrent of mana that reached from the ground to the end of the sky.
‘We won’t fight enough to kill each other.’
The Oma Agreement. Even if it is just a name, high-ranking officials will not directly seek their lives.
‘I have to mess with it.’
Because they both want me.
I decided to do what was possible only because it was now.
I moved back and leaned my back against the wall.
“huh?”
“you?”
“You two fight.”
Raon raised his chin as he looked at the two monsters with their eyes wide open as if embarrassed.
“I will follow the winning side.”
-This is real…
Lars twisted his lips as he saw Raon’s confident smile.
-Are you crazy?
