Episode 295
-I can’t live like this! I can’t even eat, and my abilities are taken away every day! Even if you live, it doesn’t seem like you live!
‘Be quiet.’
Raon confirmed the reward obtained by pushing the crying Lars away with the back of his hand and absorbing Lokta’s soul.
[All stats increase by 10 points.]
[< Glasia > achievement greatly increases.]
[Water property affinity rating increases.]
[Water property resistance rating increases.]
[< Snow Wind Sword > It will be imprinted in my mind.]
As soon as I saw the message, my mouth dropped wide. It was a higher level of reward than what he received after winning the bet with Lars.
‘All stats went up by 10 again.’
All stats increased by 10 points once more, and the joy came to the point where the hair stood on end.
‘I’ll need some time to adapt again.’
Strength and agility increased by 3 points for all stats by 20 points, so training and time were needed to adapt to the current body.
Woo woo.
Looking at the message of Glacia’s achievement increase, Raon raised the coldness of Danjeon. A thicker blue chill created a small storm in his grasp.
‘It seems to have gotten thicker.’
It touched my skin that the power of the cold air was much stronger than before using the helmet.
-Damn it…
Seeing Lars furrow his brow, it was clear that the level of chill had increased.
Piik!
Raon smiled lightly as he wiped the cold air from his hands.
‘It must be slightly out of balance.’
Until now, I had been deliberately balancing the manga artist and Glacia, but as Lokta’s soul permeated, the achievement and quantity of cold energy surpassed heat.
As water attribute affinity and water attribute resistance increased, the difference would have widened even more.
I felt like I had to check how to use cold air while checking my changed physical abilities.
‘And…’
Raon closed his eyes and recalled the swordsmanship that was drawn in his head a moment ago. It was a unique swordsmanship that was cold and resolute, as if it contained the wind of the North Sea.
‘It’s snow wind sword.’
I didn’t even know the true intention of the swordsmanship, but the form and structure were definitely left in my head.
‘not bad.’
No, it’s pretty good swordsmanship.
The attribute of the snow wind sword is an absolute sword that cuts off the enemy’s swordsmanship. It was different from the swordsmanship he had learned so far, so he wanted to practice it quickly.
I got many rewards, from stats to water attribute enhancement and swordsmanship, but the most important thing was something else.
‘The state of no learning.’
Whether it was because he fought Lokta, who was an outstanding strongman, or because he absorbed his soul, the wall that had been blocked was completely crumbled and he reached the level of Master Intermediate.
‘I’ll be able to fight him properly now.’
If it’s now, it’s a match even if you stick with the golden silk thread with the strength of a master’s advanced class. Or you can break it.
‘He gave me something nice.’
Raon smiled as he swept down the blue dragon’s helmet. Unlike the uneasy feelings he showed at the end, Lokta handed over many of his abilities.
‘It’s hard to say that it’s a price, but your master will finish it as painlessly as possible.’
Even if Merlin had a situation, he couldn’t leave it alone. How to pay the penalty. When I dealt with her one day, I decided to let her go without pain.
‘Then remember…”
-Turn it off!
As I tried to recall the memories Lokta left behind and the snow wind sword, I heard Lars moaning.
– You mosquito-like bastard!
‘suddenly?’
-Aren’t you sucking the king’s abilities and characteristics like summer mosquitoes?
‘That’s the sound again.’
Raon laughed.
-Even if you live to the average lifespan of a human, only bones will remain of the original king!
His shoulders trembled as if he was afraid of that day.
‘It’s self-employed.’
If I hadn’t rushed to claim the body first, the bet reward wouldn’t have been taken away. It was all my own fault.
-Damn it….
Maybe because Lars knew that too, he buried his face in his chubby arms and started sobbing.
“Um…”
Raon licked his lips while gathering the round back of Lars’ head.
‘It’s a bit pity that the demon king is doing that.’
Was it because he saw the elegant yet lofty body? The wrinkled cotton candy looked a little pitiful.
‘okay. I’ll cancel Nadine Bread.
As soon as he said that, Lars’ sobs disappeared at once. The boy slowly raised his head. He narrowed his eyes and rolled his round pupils.
-Are you really me?
‘okay.’
– Whoa! live! I hate Nadine’s bread more than losing 100 stats.
Lars let out a sigh of relief.
– Even a devil like you has a conscience.
‘instead.’
Raon shook his head as he patted Lars who was laughing.
‘There will be no mint chocolate from now on.’
-What are you talking about again!
‘They say they don’t eat mint chocolate.’
-why!
‘Because it’s tasteless.’
-Are you saying you don’t know the pleasure of filling your mouth with coolness and sweetness at the same time?
Was it mint chocolate? It’s a taste you don’t know at all.
-I pity you who don’t know the taste of mint chocolate!
‘Because I don’t know, it doesn’t matter. choose Would you like to eat without Nadine’s bread? Should I eat Nadine bread and mint chocolate?’
Raon shrugged his shoulders and said, “Choose something.”
-Oh, even the devil wouldn’t offer such an option!
Lars’ eyes shook like a sailboat hit by waves.
-That’s on the same level as the question of choosing mother and father! This unfilial bastard!
‘Asmodians are unfilial…’
Raon shook his head.
No matter how you think about it, the only real madness is Lars.
* * *
Raon stood up when he saw the moonlight filtering through the window. It is night here, so in reality the day will be bright.
‘Where…’
I put my hand on Merlin’s shoulder as he lay on the bed and checked her condition.
‘I won’t be able to wake up for a while.’
Without resting properly, mana was operated unreasonably, and the body was injured. I felt like I wouldn’t be able to wake up for two days.
‘I can leave now.’
He spent more than half a day in his room, reminiscing about Lokta’s memories and the snow wind sword, so no one would think it was strange if he left Merlin behind.
Raon looked at Merlin, who was breathing low, for a moment, then went outside.
The ghosts of Eden passing through the halls politely bowed their heads and were polite, as if they had seen Merlin. It is completely accepted as a member of Eden.
‘I would have ignored it if it was Lokta.’
Lokta was a knight with a strong sense of pride, so he probably wouldn’t even have been greeted by the demons.
Raon ignored their greetings and left Daejeon. I went to the end of the barrier where I had sparred with the Golden Mask and warmed up lightly.
‘As expected, it has changed.’
Due to the increase in many abilities, the movement of the body became faster and stronger than before.
‘It’s not all good to be strong.’
It doesn’t matter if the strength and speed of the body increase significantly when dealing with sewers, but when fighting masters, perfect control of the body is more important than strength.
I had to clearly grasp the limits of my body so that I could fight anyone.
Raon pulled out the Celestial Sword. It wasn’t the swordsmanship he usually practiced, but he tried out the new swordsmanship he learned this time around.
Whoa!
When the first herb was opened using the Glacia, a cold wind blew from the sword and drew a silver line in the air.
The sword strike, which had a firm yet cool energy, was strong enough to repel any attack from the enemy.
Chee-ying!
The second herbivore is a swordsmanship that rises from the bottom up. This swordsmanship is fast, but the aura is tightly tightened, so it has breath that does not break like a shield.
Raon unleashed all of his snow wind blades and lowered his sword.
‘Is this an absolute sword?’
Absolute sword is a sword that cuts off. It has the terrifying feature of cutting off the flow of martial arts used by the enemy and inflicting a fatal counterattack.
For himself, who can analyze opponents using the ring of fire, it was a swordsmanship that was as efficient as a mad sword.
‘If I combine the snow wind sword and the mad sword, I’ll make something interesting.’
The mad sword is a swordsmanship that creates gaps in the opponent, and the seolpunggeomgyeol is a swordsmanship that cuts off the opponent’s breath. Combining the skills of the two would create an incredible swordsmanship.
Raon unfolded the snow wind sword, grasping the changes in the body, and after carving the swordsmanship into his body, turned around.
“How long are you planning to visit?”
I looked up at the empty roof and narrowed my eyes.
“Originally, the training of a knight is not about watching carelessly.”
“I am not interested in swordsmanship. I just observed whether you slipped out or not.”
One side of the roof turned hazy, revealing the Golden Face Temple. He waved his hand in a slightly weaker voice than usual.
“I have no intention of leaving this place, leaving the princess behind.”
“A princess…”
The Golden Mask smiled as he looked into Raon’s pupils inside the dragon’s helmet.
“Well, I was really a princess. A princess not called for hundreds of years.”
“Are you mocking me?”
Raon frowned as he looked at the Golden Mask. I pretended to be incensed and glared at him.
“No, I was just telling the truth.”
The Golden Mask shrugged his shoulders with a calm look in his eyes.
“If there is nothing to do, how about Dalian?”
“Dalian?”
“exactly. Your body isn’t adapting well. In this case, if we fight properly, we will adapt faster.”
Raon tapped the sheath as if provoking in a slightly raised voice.
‘What will happen.’
Except for Merlin, the Golden Mask is the only person in Eden to talk to. If this guy was tricked, he could act without hesitation.
“…”
The Golden Mask didn’t answer and looked down at Raon.
“You don’t pull very hard. Get to know someone else.”
He sighed and shook his head. There was a bit of annoyance in his voice.
‘It worked.’
Raon chewed the inside of his cheek. The attitude of the Golden Face Temple was markedly different from yesterday. He was accepting himself as Lokta, not Raon.
“Then I have another question.”
“what?”
“Where is the treasure trove of weapons and armor? It doesn’t go well with this sword.”
Raon pointed to the Jecheon Sword and the Requiem Sword.
“It is in Daejeon. It’s right next to the room where we had a fighting wedding.”
The golden-faced priest waved his hands as if telling him to disappear quickly and lay down on the roof.
“Thank you.”
Raon slowly turned his back. Heading to Daejeon, I clenched my fists tightly.
‘Now I can openly move.’
Since he had tricked the Golden Face Temple, there was nothing to fear as long as he was careful with the unknown sword.
– What are you really doing?
Lars looked down at Raon and frowned.
– Aside from everything else, why are you so good at acting!
‘It’s basic knowledge.’
-You’re not a member of a theater troupe or a circus, so why is acting a basic skill!
Of course, it is not the basic knowledge of a swordsman family, but the basic knowledge of an assassin. In order to assassinate, it is necessary to be able to perform a perfect performance regardless of gender or age.
-But why are you trying to find a sword? A knight can use all swords. I don’t think there’s any need to act with a different weapon.
‘Because I’m not aiming for a sword.’
He asked the Golden Face Temple for the report in order to obtain the sword and armor, but in reality he already knew the location of the report and did not want the sword and armor.
What I really want is something else in the treasury.
-What is that?
‘You’ll know when you see it.’
Raon shook his head at the nervous Lars and entered the battle. I headed to the room right next to the wall where the fighting wedding was held.
Whoa!
As Raon was about to enter the room, a dimension opened on the floor and two warriors wearing black goblin helmets appeared.
“Only those who can enter the official duty report are the 8-star throne or those who have received permission from the 8-star throne.”
“Was I a 7 star?”
Merlin had previously boasted that it was a seven-star from the beginning.
“That’s right.”
The warriors in goblin helmets answered without raising their voices.
‘These guys are strong.’
Unlike wearing a goblin helmet, considerable energy was transmitted. The soul in that helmet didn’t seem like an ordinary goblin.
“The princess is in a state of fainting now. I need a sword and armor to protect him.”
“Only those who can enter the report are the 8-star throne or those who have received permission from the 8-star throne.”
The warriors in goblin helmets shook their heads saying the same thing as the first time.
“Tsk.”
Raon clicked his tongue briefly. I thought that 7 stars would be enough to get in, but the defense here was stronger than I thought.
‘I have to take care of Merlin before he wakes up and chases after me… hm?’
As I ate my mouth with regret, I felt a huge presence from behind. When I quickly turned my head, the soul sword stood silently.
‘This guy is really…’
It wasn’t enough to say that he was amazing that he came through his senses. It seemed that there was some kind of martial arts that distracted the senses.
“…”
The sword of the soul looked at Raon for a while, then went forward and put his hand on the door.
Woo woo woo!
The door cracked open like a kaleidoscope, opening a passage that emitted a soft light.
“….”
The Jeolsoul Sword didn’t go inside and got out of the way.
“You mean come in?”
“…”
He didn’t answer and just stood there. From my experience so far, it seems to be right.
‘What the hell are you thinking?’
I am confident in reading other people’s minds, but this man is an exception. There was no word and no reaction, so it was impossible to understand his thoughts at all.
There was no harm in this help, so I decided to accept it for now.
“Thank you.”
Raon nodded and headed inside. The warriors wearing goblin helmets stood still, not blocking their way, probably because the sword was allowed.
Whoa!
The inside of the treasury was so wide that it could not be thought of as a room seen from the outside. Weapons, armor, shields, and other top-notch weapons were neatly arranged.
After looking around the arms, Raon turned around. The aisle closed again, as if the soul sword had no intention of entering.
‘It looks like he’s trying to suspect me of taking a weapon, but it won’t be useful.’
Because I have no intention of bringing anything.
Raon headed to where the armor was. After passing through the top-notch armors that felt various types of mana, he headed to the place where the two monster-type helmets were placed.
Holding a crocodile-shaped helmet, he sneered arsenic.
‘I was looking for this.’
After absorbing Lokta’s soul, he was able to sense the presence of other helmets. Knowing that there was a helmet with a monster’s soul in this place, he asked the Golden Face Temple for the location of the report.
-Yes, you, no way!
‘that’s right.’
Raon smiled.
‘I have to eat the guys in the other helmets too.’
He intended to suck not only Lokta, but also the souls of the helmets here.
Don’t make me regret kidnapping me.
* * *
A small hill near the commercial city of Cameloon.
At the place where Raon had his first battle with the White Blood Church, a palanquin tinged with red was raised as if it had been painted with blood.
Kiln is unusually suitable for men and women of all ages. A beautiful woman, a stout man, a child who seemed to be about 10 years old, and an old man who seemed about to collapse at any moment were carrying each leg.
The seat of the palanquin had red feet hanging over it, and the white-blooded priest was half-lying on it, looking down at the tawny earth.
“My children have disappeared from this land.”
She looked vaguely at the bloodless ground and lowered her eyes.
“Don’t worry. The Blood God will embrace all of you.”
When she finished her short prayer and opened her eyes, Sain’s palanquins moved to the edge of the hill. Because the day was bright, not only Cameloon but also other cities far away were faintly visible.
“under.”
The white-blooded priest looked down at the bottom of the hill with a dark gaze like the abyss. A slight exclamation escaped from her red lips as she looked around Cameloon.
“You’re cute.”
She looked up at the fallen fields beside Cameloon and rolled up her lips.
“You were hiding in a place like that?”
“Did you find it?”
The 10 apostles standing behind like stone statues approached the side of the palanquin.
“okay. Can’t you see?”
The white-blooded priest raised a transparent-white finger and pointed at the empty field.
“Um…”
The 10 apostles frowned as if they hadn’t found anything despite raising their spirits.
“It might be a little difficult for you.”
The white blood priest smiled lightly and snapped his finger. A pure white airflow bloomed and seeped into the eyes of the 10 apostles.
“ah!”
The 10 apostles burst into exclamations. When the energy of the white blood cultivator wetted his eyes, he saw a huge formation built on an ordinary field.
The formation with the sun, moon and stars was so enormous that it covered the entire field.
“This is…”
“The sun and the moon. It must be his skill.”
The Baekhyeol religious leader nodded while looking at the sun and moon patterns engraved on the Jinbeop.
“Let’s go.”
Her chin moves the palanquin forward. Although the feet of the palanquins crossed the ground and touched the air, the palanquin’s movement was as smooth as it was at the beginning.
“If I had a fortune on mine…”
The Baekhyeol lord let out an excited smile while resting his chin on the armrest of the palanquin.
“No matter where you are, you have to come find me.”
