Chapter 312 Kung
! thud!
The moment I saw Derus Robert, I heard my heart beat. It was a huge beating that made the whole body vibrate like dozens of drums beating at the same time.
jjik.
Raon chewed hard on the inside of his cheek. The taste of blood as if it had been licked on metal filled my mouth.
‘Keuuuuuuuu…’
Even though I felt strong pain, my head didn’t get cold. My brain was burning hot, and my hands and feet were full of strength.
‘You have to be patient. I have to endure it unconditionally.’
Derus Robert is more suspicious and cautious than anyone he knows. It would be a pain to live or incite even a little bit here.
‘please. please.’
Fortunately, the distance from Derus was quite far. I had to come to my senses before he got any closer.
‘Shit!’
I tried to suppress my emotions by force, but they hit me harder like elastic rubber.
– What are you doing now?
Lars stepped aside and frowned.
-Why do you look at that distant place and raise such anger?
‘Umm…’
He didn’t even have the spirit to play with Lars. I just focused on suppressing my emotions.
-Umm Come to think of it, this anger is the same as when you called the main king…
‘Ah!’
As soon as I saw Lars tilting his head, I remembered the first time I met him.
‘Ring of Fire!’
Raon let out a short breath and operated the ring of fire.
Whoa!
The seven rings resonated and calmed the boiling emotions.
My mind began to clear as if a blue wave swept over my head, which had been stained red with anger.
‘Forgot even the ring of fire…’
I lost my mind.
Seeing him so angry that he couldn’t even think of running the Ring of Fire made him more determined to get revenge on him.
‘Is it natural that I can’t come to my senses?’
Even after 20 years, the sight of Derus Robert’s head being blown off is still vivid.
My collapsing body, Derus’s cold eyes as if looking at a dirty insect, and even the overturned moon. The memory of what I saw when I died is still stuck in my head.
It was impossible for anyone to play with people’s lives arbitrarily and ask them to maintain their reason by looking at the enemies they disposed of when they were useless.
Whoa.
Raon breathed slowly and operated the ring of fire in polarity. It resonated with the ring with full power and calmed the spirit.
It didn’t exalt the soul as in battle, but hid everything as if hiding in the shadows. I suppressed all the energy tightly so as not to reveal more than the strength I had.
-You guys are weird today.
Lars narrowed his eyes, asking what the hell was going on.
‘It’s nothing.’
He smiled at Lars and shook his head.
‘I’m glad Lars is there.’
Thanks to this cotton candy that told of Derus Robert’s existence in advance and even gave a hint about the Ring of Fire, I was able to stop the emotional explosion before I properly encountered it.
It seemed that Lars’ business, which generously gave his help until this time, continued in Owen’s kingdom.
“You’ve come to Heo Cheongeomseong.”
The three princes smiled as they saw Derus approaching.
‘Heavenly Sword. okay. It was that damn bastard’s nickname.’
Cheongeomseong is a nickname that means the saint of the sword that touches the sky.
If you knew what kind of guy the real Derus was, you should call him Garbage, not Sky Sword, but he had a nobler nickname than anyone else.
Raon swallowed dry saliva as he looked at Derus who was almost close.
‘I might have felt it a little bit.’
If it was Derus he knew, he might have noticed his intensified feelings a moment ago. I calmed down again so that I wouldn’t panic no matter what question came up.
“Meet the Heavenly Swordsman!”
The three princes walked in front of Derus and knelt on one knee. It was the same level of courtesy as when he greeted Glenn.
“Meet the Heavenly Swordsman.”
Cheryl and Rimmer did not kneel, only bowed their heads. Raon put on a surprised expression and bowed his head following the two.
“These are Greer-sama and Sieghart’s heroes. See you all after a long time.”
Derus smiled softly and nodded. He spoke with respect to all of the three princes and swordsman Sieghart, who were far below him in terms of age and position.
‘This is disgusting.’
It was filthy disgusting that a guy who deals with assassins and slaves in the shadows always speaks with respect, saying that everyone has dignity on the outside.
“The King of the North is nowhere to be seen.”
“You are enjoying tea with Your Highness.”
The three princes looked back at the audience room and laughed.
“It’s tea time for the King of the North and the Dark Sword, so I can’t stop going. hmm?”
Derus smiled brightly. I met his eyes as he was about to head to the throne room.
“Blonde. Could it be that you…”
“My name is Raon Sieghart.”
He lowered his head, clutching his stomach as if he was about to vomit.
“Snow Flower Swordsman!”
Derus clapped his hands and nodded his head.
“I have heard of the reputation of the Seolhwa Swordsman Federation. There was a lot of talk of a new hero in the south as well.”
“It’s an overstatement.”
“Looking at it myself, I know that the rumors are not false. It is definitely an outstanding achievement. It seems that there is no opponent in the same age group. But…”
His blue eyes vomited a subtle black light.
‘This bastard…’
I don’t know about the others, but I can tell that I was rotten under him. Those eyes mean that there is something stuck.
“You seemed to be in a bad mood a moment ago. Has something happened?”
With those words, the shady gaze of Derus, who came down, made my heart feel as if it would explode.
‘As expected, I knew.’
The emotionally charged time was only for a moment, but Derus did not miss that brief moment. He was looking at me with suspicious eyes.
‘I’m glad though.’
It was really nice to have it prepared in advance.
“no.”
Raon smiled lightly and shook his head. Using the ring of fire, he desperately calmed down his emotions.
“Nothing happened. Just…”
“Just?”
“When I saw Mukgeomjon, I was shocked by the momentum of his resolution, which was different from that of the head of the household. It seems that the sharpness that seemed to pierce my heart made me nervous and my emotions intensified without my knowledge.”
“Huh! It’s really amazing that you can already feel the grain of their martial arts.”
Derus let out a fuss.
“no. Thanks to the two of you for revealing yourself.”
I looked into Derus’ gaze with a smile. The face smiles, but the eyes don’t. The depths of his eyes flashed briefly.
I can’t fool myself for supporting him close even if others don’t know. He had been harboring bad feelings for himself before, not just this time.
‘Did he also aim for me?’
A sense of crisis flooded his mind again before the relief of clearing his doubts arrived.
‘Because I broke the plan.’
It was understandable that he reacted like that when he mercilessly destroyed Derus’ old plan to eat the Yonan family.
‘You must want to kill me.’
He’s smiling now, but Derus would want to twist his neck right now.
‘No, I think it’s already in progress.’
Since the youngest master from a rival family even destroyed his own plan, there was a possibility that the plan to target him was already in action.
“My youngest is a huge fan of Seolhwa Swordsmen. I would like to ask you to have a light conversation at the banquet later.”
Derus brought the boy from behind to the front. silver haired blue eyes. Her appearance was similar to that of Derus, but her eyes, still full of innocence, shone hotly.
“My name is Les Repons Roberts!”
This is a child I have never seen before. Looking at his age, it seemed that he was born after his death.
‘As expected.’
The way he introduced his son with a gentle smile while hiding his heart full of life was the image of a benevolent father.
It was a posture that he had to learn, as he almost exploded a moment ago and ruined everything.
“This is Raon Sieghart.”
Raon smiled lightly and lowered his head, and Repon’s face turned red.
“Uh uh! I am in the battle that saved the saint. No, from the battle that saved the soldiers from the castle, Raon-nim…”
“Lepon. Let’s talk to Raon-nim later, and let’s say hello to the swordsman first.”
“Ah yes!”
“See you later.”
Derus moved forward with Lefon, who shivered and opened his mouth.
Behind them, a young man with a similar appearance to Derus nodded slightly. There was a smirk in his eyes and lips.
‘This guy is here too.’
that guy knows Cadiz Robert, the third son of Derus and currently occupying a seat in the Twelve Stars.
After passing by Robert’s swordsman, Raon went out of the castle.
“Come this way. Let me introduce you to the sword tomb, the pride of King Owen.”
The three princes smiled broadly and led Sieghart and the others.
Raon followed him and spread his fists. His fingernails dug into his flesh, and blood flowed from the open wounds.
‘thank god.’
I looked back and smiled.
‘Because my vengeful spirit is not quenched. And for being at a higher place than you were 20 years ago.’
I was worried that Derus would retire or die, but it was meaningless. The guy got stronger and stood in a higher position.
‘Wait a little longer.’
Raon brushed off his blood-soaked hands and smiled.
‘Because I’ll make you fall from the sky to the ground.’
* * *
Loen narrowed his eyes as he watched Glenn enjoying the bittersweet tea.
‘You must be in a very good mood.’
Glenn is drinking tea with an expressionless face, but in reality he is not sure what to do with joy in his heart.
‘That’s all…’
It was because of Owen’s King Lecross and the Three Princes who guided him to the royal castle.
“I thought that children just needed to grow up healthy, but today, seeing Gwangpungbudanju, I changed my mind a little.”
LeCross gently passed the tea over and smiled.
“A force beyond Master Intermediate at the age of 19. Originally, masters are at a stage where there is a big difference by stage, but that child doesn’t seem to be pushed unilaterally even by seniors.”
He let out a short whimper, as if surprised.
“How did you raise such a friend? Please tell me the secret.”
Loen smiled lightly as he listened to King Lecross.
‘Thanks to this compliment.’
As Owen’s three princes weren’t enough, even Owen’s king, Recross, was praising Raon, so Glenn’s mood was already skyrocketing.
Seeing his hand shake, he seemed to be able to stop laughing.
“Well, that kid did it on his own. I didn’t do anything.”
Glenn covered his mouth, cleared his throat, and shook his hand. It was a gesture that seemed insignificant, but looking from behind, a deep well was already blooming at the corner of his mouth.
‘Because he’s unavoidable.’
Perhaps because of the side effect of forcibly hiding her emotions in front of her grandchildren, Glenn could not hide her expression in front of others.
It was like an automatic reflex to clear your throat and raise your mouth when you heard Raon’s praise.
‘I wish I could be honest now.’
As Rimer said, it would be nice to open up your heart and reveal who your grandchildren are, but since he was closest to Glenn, his thoughts were understandable.
‘Still, I want to see the three of them together.’
I thought I had no regrets because I had achieved everything, but I really wanted to see Glen grow closer to Sylvia Raon and eat together and laugh together.
As Loen pictured Glenn and Raon smiling at each other in his head, the chief chamberlain entered the drawing room.
“majesty. Heavenly Sword and the Robert family have arrived.”
“You arrived earlier than expected.”
King Lecross licked his lips and stood up.
“It looks like there will be an additional seat. Would that be okay?”
“It doesn’t matter.”
Glenn nodded his head as if to do whatever he wanted.
“Then wait a moment.”
The king left the drawing room with a light smile.
“It’s the Sky Sword…”
Loen looked at the drawing room door and licked her lips briefly.
“The head of the family once said that I was outstanding in terms of talent. It must have developed beyond recognition by now.”
Celestial Sword Derus Robert was the youngest and weakest of the current six emperors, but Glenn valued him the most.
“It was.”
Glenn put down the empty teacup and nodded slowly.
“It’s just that your expectations seem a little wrong.”
“yes? What is that…”
“His talent exceeded my expectations.”
He looked back at the drawing room door that slowly opened. Looking at the smiling Derus Robert, he smiled coldly.
* * *
Unlike the gloomy meaning of Sword Graveyard, Geomryo was a bright place.
The green trees gave off a brilliant vitality, and the pieces of various swords created an elegant atmosphere. It looked more like a well-tended garden than a tomb.
“Huh…”
Raon let out an exclamation as he looked at the bush trimmed like a sword.
‘I didn’t make this out of the ordinary.’
The sword in the bush in front of me was not trimmed with garden shears. The momentum of the pre-determined sword felt at the edge of the bush. It was clear that this was the shape of the sword made by spreading swordsmanship with the real sword.
‘It’s amazing.’
-hey.
Lars poked his head in the air while looking at the thicket of swords.
-Who is that guy?
‘what?’
-I asked what the relationship was with that slim-looking muldae.
Lars’ eyes flashed blue as if they had melted frost.
-The emotion of anger you raised was about the same as when you first summoned the main king. Is he the object of your wrath?
‘Um…’
It’s sharp at times like this.
Lars, who is not the lord of anger for nothing, has a keen sense of anger when he feels it.
I can’t tell you though
Although his relationship with Lars has improved a lot, it is premature to talk about reincarnation.
I’d rather gloss over it anyway.
Raon made up his mind and nodded slightly.
‘The enemy is right.’
I couldn’t lie that far, so I said it honestly.
-I knew that. It’s just a little strange.
Lars narrowed his eyes.
-That guy felt like seeing you for the first time? Besides, you were not very young at the time. What kind of grudge did you build up with that guy?
‘…’
-Tell me.
‘Eh food.’
I rolled my head, but nothing came to mind, so Lars brought up a word that was at least easy to get over.
– Food?
‘When I was little, he took my last bowl of my stew. As you know, at that time I was treated as a non-family member, so you wouldn’t have known.’
Raon bit his lip.
‘Wouldn’t that work?’
It’s crazy even when I think about it.
No matter how stupid Lars is, this is a bit over the line. I was speechless, to the point of laughing nonsense.
-Keuug This bastard…
I did it in case, but it was as expected. Looking at the shape of his mouth, he was ready to scream.
– If that’s the case, shouldn’t you say something quickly!
‘uh?’
-You have a strong obsession with food when you are young. What’s more, the last bowl! It’s a good thing you didn’t break the head!
‘…’
Raon slowly lowered his eyes. Lars was an unexpected fool when it came to food. I was grateful but also sad.
-If you said it right away, the king would have helped! Anyway, he’s a stuffy guy!
‘…I see.’
– The grudge for food. And the grudge against the last bowl is deep and deep. Even if that guy is rare among humans, you will definitely have to avenge him!
Lars muttered that he would help, telling him to repay the grudge. Shouting to cheer up was a bonus.
“Ha…”
Raon let out an airy laugh as he watched Lars tremble with his fists.
‘Should I say thank you for this…’
Having Lars help out even if you stay still is no different from getting a thousand horses, but to draw out his help in this way was truly life.
– Big. The main king is all pissed off. If there was a guy who would take the last mint chocolate ice cream in front of the king, he would have broken his head and frozen every single cell.
‘That’s right…’
I’m thankful and a little sad, so at the banquet that’s going to be held tonight, I’ll have to fill Lars’s stomach.
Raon shook his head and followed the group. Climbing up along the white path of the sword tomb, I saw a sword embedded in the floor. It must have been a long time since the owner was lost, and the blades were rusty and the swordsmen were all torn.
‘hmm?’
It wasn’t a single sword. There were innumerable number of time-ridden swords stuck here and there.
Until now, there were famous swords that had not lost their luster, and there were also plenty of worn-out cheap swords.
“This is…”
“This is the real swordsman.”
The three princes turned around and smiled broadly.
“The swords here are the swords of the heroes who fought for Owen. Whether it’s a grand master or a soldier who can’t use an aura, anyone who has raised a sword under Owen’s banner will be able to plant a sword here.”
His face looked more proud than ever. His eyes were full of anticipation that one day he too would stick a sword in this place.
Pudeuk.
Raon bit his molars gently. As I listened to the words of the three princes, the memories of my previous life came to my mind like a kaleidoscope.
She gave her life for Robert, but the terrible years ended as a dog being boiled in a pot.
‘It’s different.’
There was such a big difference between the Owen and Robert families that even the soldiers leave their names behind. The anger that had subsided boiled over again.
‘It’s a bit early, but I’ll have to start.’
-what?
‘plural.’
You can’t aim for him right away, so you have to gnaw slowly from the surroundings.
‘The beginning…’
Raon smiled and rolled up his lips as he recalled the past Cadiz.
