Episode 331
The emcee, who had been paying attention, came up to the training ground and bowed her head.
“The Six Emperor Duels are all over.”
He cleared his throat and pointed his finger at the sky.
“Raon Sieghart, the youngest contestant in the competition, stood at the pinnacle of the master class duel that was bloody fierce! Legendary Swordsman Raon Sieghart wins the championship!”
When the emcee let out a chorus of voices, the entire arena was shaken.
“Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
“Raon! Raon! Raon!”
“Breaking all the twelve stars on the continent…”
“We shouldn’t forget Matisse and Garona either.”
“Come to think of it, I was the youngest. A kid who is now 20 has beaten all the famous masters!”
“I saw some really crazy things. I will never forget it for the rest of my life.”
The audience shouted Raon’s name so loudly that they thought it was a scream.
“Come to think of it, the expert-level winner is also Sieghard. Rakshasa sword Martha Sieghart!”
“The only ones that come to mind are the Sieghard kids.”
“That’s right. From the whirlwind sword to the blue moon sword.”
“Are all talented people only going to Sieghart?”
“I thought it was only the King of the North, but it wasn’t. It’s harder down there!”
The audience cheered, chanting the name of not only Raon, but also Martha Runan Burren, who showed a good performance in the expert level competition.
Raon listened to the shouts of grandeur and looked around the audience.
‘It’s changed.’
When I first came here, no one in the audience cheered for Sieghart.
At the expert level, Princess Jaina and Prince Greer were favorites, while at the master level, Borini Kitten Garona and Cadiz were favorites. The people who thought Sieghart would win could be counted on one hand.
“Sieghart!”
“Sieghart!”
However, in the arena where all the duels were over, only Sieghart’s name was spreading.
‘It’s fun.’
Emotions boil over that he has touched all those who were ignored and indifferent. It was a different feeling than when I saved others and received compliments.
“Raon. are you okay?”
Runaan, who approached at some point, lowered his eyebrows. It was crazy that they worried about me before congratulating me on winning.
“Just right.”
He was on the verge of dying just a moment ago, but seeing Derus Robert’s distorted expression and hearing the cheers of the audience greatly reduced the pain of internal and traumatic injuries. It was like an awakening, but that was enough for now.
“Are you okay?”
Martha frowned at the scar on her shoulder.
“huh. I can hold on until the awards ceremony.”
You can’t pass out in a funny situation like this.
The winner receives a gift directly from the heads of Yukhwang at the awards ceremony. I couldn’t pass up an opportunity to taunt Derus Robert once more.
“Laon. Now we have to hold the awards ceremony, but can you hold on?”
The host came over and whispered quietly.
“If it’s difficult, the awards ceremony will be held later without an audience…”
“No.”
Raon gently shook his head.
“It’s okay to do it now. You shout my name like that, but I can’t put it off.”
He smiled lightly as he pointed to the audience who were still calling out the name Raon.
“Ah…”
The presenter’s eyes narrowed slightly.
“Thank you!”
This time, he wasn’t acting, he was just speaking honestly, but he shook his hand with a thrilled expression.
“Raon! You really are a bad guy!”
Burren bit his lip and came closer and hugged me. He also sniffed slightly, as if impressed.
“But where is this human again?”
Martha frowned and looked around.
“There were two winners in the dan, but where did the danju end up!”
“So…”
“Eh…”
Gwangpungdan frowned as he looked around to find Rimer.
“I am rich! He is truly super rich!”
As Raon turned his gaze to follow them, the voice of a man with a split throat was heard from the audience on the right.
‘There he is.’
I thought it was the same and laughed. Because of that human, the image of elves was gradually changing.
“The sub-lord.”
Dorian stepped aside and gestured.
“It’s a little hard to go up on stage in that state, so change your clothes first.”
“Um…”
Raon confirmed his condition. It was no exaggeration to say that they were zombies because their uniforms were all torn and the blood of Cadiz and himself was stained.
“That would be better.”
It would take some time until the award ceremony, so I thought it would be okay to change clothes.
Raon went downstairs with Dorian and entered the waiting room.
“What would you like?”
Dorian reached into his stomach pockets and pulled out several types of clothing in quick succession. Various kinds of ceremonial clothes and uniforms filled the table before I knew it.
“Why are you wearing a dress?”
Raon frowned at the dress caught in the middle.
“This side is out of order.”
Dorian laughed and put the dress back into her belly pocket.
-Ask that guy if he has mint chocolate ice cream.
‘…’
I didn’t ask because I thought it was real.
“I’ll do it with this.”
Raon chose a black suit, the least flashy of all the formal attire.
“Thank you for thinking about it.”
“no.”
Dorian shook his head quickly.
“Both Danju and the first team leader won the championship and made Sieghart’s name known, but I didn’t do anything. I have to do something like this.”
He laughed awkwardly and started putting the clothes back into his stomach pockets.
“No.”
Raon took off his torn uniform and closed his eyes, then opened them.
“We did.”
“yes?”
“I didn’t say Martha did it, we did it together.”
He raised his finger and pointed at the ceiling of the waiting room. The waiting room was also shaking because of the crowd shouting Sieghart.
“Everyone in the Gwangpungdan fought with all their might, so that’s why they’re called that. If I had been alone, I would have been called Raon.”
After Raon changed his clothes, he patted Dorian on the shoulder.
“Take pride. You and Gwangpungdan did their best.”
“…yes.”
Dorian nodded as he looked at the floor, unpacking his clothes into his belly pocket.
“let’s go.”
Raon smiled and left the waiting room.
“Wowaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
“Raon!”
“Snow Flower Swordsman!”
“White Sword Dragon!”
“White Sword Dragon! Looking forward to the future!”
In addition to Seolhwa Geomhyeop, there were also people who called him by the nickname of Baekgeomryong. It seems that Baek Young-seom, which was shown at the end, was deeply embedded in their minds.
Having a dragon attached to the nickname ‘Sword Dragon…’ is the greatest honor given to a young warrior.
Even in the continental zodiac, there were only two of the top four people with a dragon attached to them.
‘The name is becoming too much.’
After Geomchiop, becoming a Geomryong made me feel good, but also a bit burdened.
“Then, let’s start the awards ceremony now!”
The host came up to the arena and raised his hand.
“Expertweight champion Martha Sieghardt, please step up on the podium.”
Martha nodded and went up to the podium where the heads of the Six Emperors were. The one in the front was Glenn.
“It was a great fight. But you should learn to take care of yourself more.”
Glenn slapped the platinum medal around Marta’s neck and patted her on the shoulder.
“I will keep that in mind.”
“Good work.”
“yes!”
Martha bowed her head and moved aside.
“Thank you for enlightening Greer.”
King Lecross shook hands with Martha and handed her a sword.
“It may not be as good as a broken sword, but it belongs to a famous sword, so it will be useful until you get a new sword.”
“thank you!”
Martha bent down and raised both hands to take the sword.
“I won’t get scars on your face. thank god.”
Chamber examined Martha’s face and laughed.
“Can I fill the present with something from the scars on my face?”
“yes. It doesn’t matter.”
Martha nodded her head as if she was really okay.
“Aww cute!”
Chamber giggled and waved the wand in Martha’s hand. A blue light flashed and a gray bracelet fell onto Martha’s hand.
“Ability is a secret!”
She covered her mouth with her finger and backed away.
“thank you.”
Marta stared blankly at the bracelet and bowed her head.
“They are still young, but the spirit of a warrior is as good as our children.”
Ogram stood in front of Martha. Although Martha is tall for a woman, she looked like a child in front of Ogram.
“It is the advanced elixir of the alliance. It will help your body follow your mind.”
He smiled coolly as he handed Marta the armor containing the elixir.
“thank you.”
Martha bowed her head to Ogram and approached Derus for the last time.
“It was a great fight.”
He smiled and handed Marta a book.
“It’s a stepping stone called Wave Hyunbo. You will be able to use that powerful swordsmanship more efficiently.”
“thank you!”
Martha bowed to the five of them again and bowed to the audience.
“Wowaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
“Martha! Martha!”
“Rachal sword! Rakshasa sword!”
The audience applauded Marta, but a tendon popped up on her forehead.
“I told you not to call it a rake sword! You motherfuckers!”
Marta gritted her teeth while tightly holding the rewards given by the chiefs.
“Ahahahaha!”
“It’s a real rachal!”
“Let’s call her Rakshanyeo again! A sword can’t contain that ferocity!”
“My daughter! Rabbi!”
“Rachal sword! Rakshasa sword!”
The audience giggled as if making fun of Martha. Regardless of whether it was a sword or a woman, the image of a Raksha was attached to Martha.
“These rotten things!”
Marta lit a fire in her eyes and ran into the audience.
“hey! dry it!”
“Martha!”
“Chief!”
Thanks to the speedy entry of the gwangpungdan below, they were able to take Marta out with a gag on her mouth.
“Ah, I apologize for the inconvenience.”
The host sighed, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
“Then next Masters winner Raon Sieghart. Please go up on the podium!”
“Yaaaaaaaa!”
Raon went up to the podium, hearing a shout that reached the sky.
“Kuhm.”
Glenn’s face returned to his usual expressionless expression. He cleared his throat once and hung a platinum medallion around his neck.
“It is a great counterattack that erases the enemy’s offensive, but it is not yet complete. The season of being a Master, the highest level swordsman, wouldn’t have been erased.”
“yes.”
Perhaps because someone else was there, he talked about swordsmanship rather than compliments. To be honest, I smiled because it was more comfortable.
“It is a swordsmanship that can become stronger the more you see and experience a lot of swordsmanship. Try to polish it well.”
“thank you.”
Raon nodded at Glenn and moved aside.
“It feels like I opened my eyes after a long time. It was a great duel.”
Satisfaction came from King Lecross’ big smile.
“You have a sword, so another one would be better.”
He handed over a pair of gloves engraved with a sword. Even just holding the gloves, the specialness was conveyed. It didn’t seem like a normal thing.
“I hope your reputation will be heard in a higher place.”
“thank you.”
King Lecross was the one who showed me goodwill from the first time I saw him. I sincerely thanked him and stood in front of the chamber.
“Will you go with me?”
Chambers snapped a finger and smiled.
“Chamber-sama…”
“That crazy thing!”
King Lecross and Ogram, who were on either side of her, frowned.
“I’m not kidding… I’m really attracted to you.”
“yes?”
“Aren’t you going to learn magic? I’ll let you know. Come in as a disciple.”
“Even a single sword is difficult.”
It doesn’t matter if you have a talent for magic or not. I intend to end it with one sword. In addition, Merlin was enough for the strange wizard.
“I don’t think it will work?”
Chamber muttered, ‘It’s possible if it’s you,’ and looked down at Raon. The light of desire flickered in her eyes.
“Chamber.”
“Eh, I get it.”
At Glenn’s low voice, Chamber nodded and held out his wand.
“The next time you see him, he should be more handsome.”
A glimmer of light fell from her wand and turned into a blue ring.
‘Is it an artifact?’
Like the bracelet he gave to Martha, this ring seemed to be an artifact of Valkar. It was a kingdom that produced artifacts comparable to the Yonan family, so it was clear that it was a special artifact.
“Your ability is also a secret!”
“thank you.”
Raon bowed his head and stood in front of Ogram.
“When I first saw it, I didn’t like it because it was so skinny, but the spirit is real. You guys are real warriors recognized by this Ogram.”
After patting the back with a cool hand, he held out a neck glove.
“It is a miracle. It will not only restore the damaged body, but also strengthen the mana circuit and short circuit.”
“thank you.”
“I have something else to tell you. I’ll see you later.”
“yes.”
Ogram smiled at Glenn. I didn’t know what he meant, so I lowered my head and stood in front of the last Derus.
“That…”
“Sorry! Even against my will, I cut off the arm of Swordsman Cadiz! I have nothing to say!”
I deliberately cut off Derus’ words and bent my back deeply.
‘This guy really hates interruptions.’
Under any circumstances, Derus hates interrupting himself. I deliberately cut off his words to inflame his anger once more.
“…it’s okay.”
Therus’ voice was soft, but his lips trembled slightly. It meant that the anger that had subsided was welling up again.
“Prosecutor Raon…”
“Still, cutting off an unmanned arm isn’t something that can be overlooked. I will accept any punishment!”
Raon cut off Derus’s words again and lowered his head.
“Wow…”
“I’m willing to accept any punishment…”
“He’s a really amazing soldier.”
“I know. Cadiz was the first one to live….”
“That’s cool. I think I know why Sieghart is called the loser of the north.”
The audience was thrilled to see Raon apologizing during the awards ceremony and applauded.
‘Where…’
Raon raised his head again. Derus’s smile sank to the point where it felt artificial. Others may think it’s a benevolent smile, but it’s not at all. It was an expression that seemed to be filled with anger.
‘Of course.’
The plan is robbed, the son has his arm cut off, and he can’t argue or demand compensation due to circumstances. Even if you can’t talk, you’ll want to strangle him right now.
‘I’ll have to stop here for today.’
He chewed his cheek and barely restrained himself from bursting into laughter. I want to tease you more, but I wanted to save that for later.
“It’s really fine. Since this was a duel, he will accept it.”
Derus shook his head and handed over a booklet.
“Prosecutor Raon’s dagger technique seemed unsystematic. This dagger technique will help.”
The booklet had the name Biryongdo written on it.
“thank you.”
Raon bowed his head to Derus and took a step back. I bowed once again to the heads of the Six Emperors, turned around and stood in front of the podium.
“Wowaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
“Raon! Raon! Raon!”
“Snow Flower Swordsman! Seolhwa Swordsman!”
“White Sword Dragon! White Sword Dragon!”
A louder shout than that of Martha resounds. It felt like the arena was shaking only with people’s voices.
“thank you.”
Raon felt his heart beating wildly and thanked the audience. After saying thank you for cheering me on so far, I tried to stand up, but my body didn’t have strength.
My body leaned forward as it was in a state where I couldn’t even lift a finger.
‘Here it is…’
It seemed that the energy he had gained by teasing Derus had now run out. It falls and lands closer.
As I was about to close my eyes, I felt someone holding my body.
‘Ah…’
This sensation…
Raon’s eyes closed with the warmth that he had felt in the past.
* * *
Raon frowned at the white ceiling.
‘Did he pass out?’
I don’t remember what happened after I said hello to the audience. The final scene was the land approaching.
‘It’s pitiful to faint even after becoming this strong.’
Pick laughed and stood up.
‘Isn’t that obvious?’
Baekyoungseom is a swordsmanship that consumes brain power and aura extremely. Even if you use it only once, it’s a difficult swordsmanship in a row. It was also used with severe internal injuries, so it was not unusual for him to pass out.
‘Las.’
As I was about to ask Lars how long it had been, the door to the infirmary opened.
“Are you in good shape now?”
Rimmer, who entered first, smiled and waved.
“Are you saying that you’re okay with the kid who just woke up?”
Cheryl kicked Rimmer in the butt.
“Dude lord. Are you okay inside?”
Rowen smiled softly and looked around her body.
“Oh, it’s okay.”
When Raon smiled lightly, Glenn came in behind the three of them. He approached the bed and let out a piercing gaze.
‘Am I getting scolded?’
I thought that I might be scolded for collapsing at the critical moment of going down after greeting the audience.
“What is unmanned?”
As Glenn’s mouth opened, his eyes narrowed.
“You have to know yourself better than anyone else. What I can do, how long I can endure, how far I can go. Always having to look back on oneself is the attitude of a true warrior.”
There was a cool chill in his voice.
“You have crossed your limits today. My body and brain were overloaded, and then I lost my mind as it spread. If it hadn’t been for anyone, it would have been dead.”
“sorry.”
It was also scolded. But he lowered his head because he wasn’t wrong.
“Your family name and reputation are good, but think of yourself first.”
Glenn took a step closer and grabbed his shoulder. His hands were warm, but oddly enough, they trembled slightly.
“But today, go…”
I was a bit hesitant, but seeing that it started with go, it seemed like I was trying to end it with a compliment saying, “You worked hard.”
Glenn is a man who never talks empty words, so it always feels good to hear a compliment from him.
“Eat a lot of meat.”
“…”
The infirmary fell silent at the completely unexpected words.
“Uh…”
Raon twisted his chin.
‘What did I just hear?’
I was speechless, so I opened my mouth.
“Keuheum I’m done.”
Glenn immediately turned around and left the infirmary.
“Go, Lord.”
“Brother Raon. See you later.”
Cheryl and Loen took a look this way and followed Glenn out.
“Hey!”
Rimer pretended to spit on the floor and frowned.
“That inspiration!”
He squealed and chased after the three of them.
“what…?”
Because I’m weak. You mean eating meat and getting stronger?
My head went blank because I didn’t understand the situation.
– Stupid guy.
Lars snorted and rose into the air.
-Because you’re pathetically weak! Doesn’t that mean eat meat and build strength!
The boy gripped his shoulder tightly. There was an irresistible smile on his lips.
-There will be a party today, so join in unconditionally! If you only eat what the original king says, you can become as strong as the demon king!
‘Uh…’
Really?
* * *
“Uhhhh!”
Rimer let out a long sigh.
“You eat a lot of meat! Really pathetic!”
He gnashed his teeth as he watched Glenn go ahead.
“I told my grandson, ‘I had a hard time. Is it that hard to say ‘I love you’?”
Glenn was trying to add the word I love you as well as the word hard work, and caused a language malfunction.
I couldn’t even laugh because I was dumbfounded.
“If you just close your eyes and say it, things in the future will spread out in a flash!”
Glenn didn’t look back as he listened to the nagging, and his back began to bend.
“It’s so frustrating that my stomach is bursting!”
Rimer’s voice, which gained momentum, grew louder and louder.
“Aren’t you going to hug your grandchild? You’re not going to apologize to your daughter! Are you going to just stay like that and get buried?”
“Umm….”
“I don’t know why the man who ran out of the podium without breathing in panic when Raon fell off the podium was so shy! Even the rockfish next door won’t do this!”
“…”
Glenn stopped.
“there is a problem.”
His voice sank.
“What trouble have you caused again! can i solve it? I don’t know what would have happened without me.”
Glenn slowly turns his head. An ice-cold gaze wrapped around Rimmer.
“to?”
“I went and you went, so why am I being scolded?”
“yes? No, that’s…”
Rimer’s cheeks trembled. It was only now that I realized that I had been talking too much.
“I am for the family head…”
“Catch it.”
“yes!”
As he tried to back away, Cheryl and Loen grabbed his arms.
Don’t fall!
Red sparks began to sprout from Glenn’s fingers.
“Heh heh…”
“I understand, but you’re too messy.”
“wait for a sec!”
Rimer struggled, even writing an aura.
“Not now! There are gambling tickets that haven’t been exchanged yet…”
His words didn’t go on until the end. A huge lightning bolt fell down Glenn’s fingertips.
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
