Episode 340
Raon bit his lip while looking at the lion walking around.
‘Suddenly a lion…’ I
brought vegetables, fruits, nuts, grains, sweets, chocolate, and even candy to the subspace pouch I received from Dorian in case I didn’t know, but it was useless.
‘It’s ruined.’
The rabbit could even take the fruit. There was no food that the lion could eat in this pouch. You can’t put chocolate in that huge spout.
‘Do I have to tear off my arm at least?’
It was so unexpected that I even had the absurd thought that I should give my weight away.
‘No, but why a lion?’
Even though there were few people, there was only a small lake and a forest that was not very deep. I don’t know why the lion is here. She is truly an unknown woman.
-That’s really insane…
Lars shook his head as he shot Merlin’s lion.
-That guy who chased after the original king was also bizarre, but that one is even better! Next time it might appear as an elephant. Kill now!
The boy motioned for a stab and his shoulders trembled.
‘that’s right.’
Raon nodded as he listened to Lars’ words.
‘Merlin is crazy. It’s not my fault.’
It was originally Merlin’s job to protrude in the form of a lion and to feed it.
Feeding was repeated, so I thought I had to do it, but it wasn’t something I had to worry about.
‘I almost passed it without even knowing.’
Raon looked down at Merlin and proudly straightened his back.
“Whoops.”
Merlin stopped in front of him and sat down gracefully. Looking at it now, the lion was not just a lion, but a male lion with a mane. no more ridiculous
“Why did you appear in the form of a lion this time?”
Above all else, I asked questions.
“As I said before, I am not unilaterally controlling. We make deals that fill each other’s lacking parts.”
“Then he too…”
“Yes. It means that this child also wants something.”
Merlin winked in the form of a lion. Chicken meat sprouted on his forearm.
“You pick up that wind yourself and disappear.”
Raon frowned. If there was anything to feed it, I would have given it, but that lion couldn’t handle it.
“Nice to see you.”
Merlin, as expected, didn’t answer, just spit out what he had to say.
“It’s not like you this time.”
She smiled softly and lifted her chin slightly.
“Until now, you have avoided seeing a lot of blood. Even when killing, he showed his overwhelming power and made it impossible for the enemy to attack.”
That’s right. It’s not that I’m afraid of killing itself, but I didn’t want to kill unnecessary things.
“But this time he didn’t hesitate to kill his enemies. It was a terrifying life.”
Merlin spoke and licked his feet with his tongue. It was the unique grooming of cats and animals.
“Whoa…”
Raon sighed and closed his eyes.
‘driving me crazy.’
It was hard to concentrate to see the lion flicking its tongue while talking seriously.
“Especially the man who seemed to be in charge was killed more brutally than necessary. I didn’t know you had such a venom.”
“Is that why you’re disappointed?”
“no.”
Merlin slowly got up.
“I was excited. It was so hot that my hands were sweaty.”
“Uh…”
“You suit being neat, serious, and cruel. It’s the best I’ve ever seen…”
The cheeks of the lion she was nesting in turned red and her hands and feet began to tremble. It seemed that the emotions of the main body were conveyed as they were.
Tsk.
Raon clicked his tongue briefly.
‘It would have been nice if they had stepped back like this.’
He had never seen Merlin kill someone himself, so he thought he hated blood, but he didn’t.
She seemed unwilling to fall for anything.
– She’s a real madwoman! Turned right!
Lars groaned and ran away with the ice flower bracelet.
“So what are you going to ask for this time?”
Merlin nodded his chin as if to say something.
“There are no requests.”
Raon shook his head and held out his hand.
“Tell me your wish. I have no intention of wasting time, so I will listen and decide here.”
“It’s a wish.”
Merlin smiled and took a step closer. It was amazing to express expressions so well with animal faces.
“My wish is…”
She paused and looked this way.
‘I can’t imagine what to say.’
As Lars said, she was out of her mind, so she couldn’t predict what she would wish for. He looked at Merlin’s mouth nervously.
“Give me a hug.”
“What?”
“Don’t you know hugging? hug.”
Merlin raised his thick front paws and swung them around. I was bewildered when I saw them hugging each other with their forepaws, whose flesh would be ripped off if hit.
“In that form?”
“okay. Even in this state, the sensation is transmitted. I can’t help it, so I’m going to put up with this for now. Is that a wish you can grant?”
She laughed, saying she couldn’t deny it.
‘That’s right.’
I could immediately refuse to kill someone or sell information, but a hug didn’t matter. Especially since you’re not doing it yourself.
‘But…’
You can kidnap it like before.
As before, there was a possibility of using the artifact to take him, so I couldn’t accept it unconditionally.
“I swear by soul and body. I will never do anything that harms you.”
The moment Merlin raised his hand, a wave of mana rose around her. It was a physical and spiritual contract that put restrictions on oneself.
“Isn’t it shocking the lion’s soul and body, not you?”
“never.”
He shook his head as if it wasn’t Merlin.
-…That’s right.
Lars poked his head over his bracelet.
-That’s an oath to your body and soul. If you don’t keep the promise, a great shock will be applied to the madwoman’s body and soul. So…
the guy trembled his lips.
– It’s more scary! It really turned!
“…good.”
Raon nodded. I had to listen to what he said in the first place.
“Whoops.”
Merlin snapped his front paw as if telling him to come quickly.
“I look forward to it.”
“Haaa…”
Raon sighed deeply and stood in front of Merlin. The lion was quite large, so I bent my knees a little.
‘Let’s endure it just once.’
Close your eyes and see Merlin. No, I hugged the lion. His mane was soft, but his skin was as rough as sandpaper.
‘Only three seconds.’
After counting only three seconds, as he was about to fall, the lion’s body suddenly became soft and thin like pudding.
-hey! hey! Hey man!
‘What is it?’
When I opened my eyes with Lars’ urgent call, the lion disappeared and Merlin, wearing an old woman’s mask, was in front of me. Her sweet scent tickled his nostrils.
“Good. I will have a good dream tonight.”
“you!”
Raon gritted his teeth and pushed Merlin away.
“Whoops!”
Merlin stepped back and waved his hand.
“As expected, you have to feel the warmth of people directly.”
“I made an oath and did this…”
“I didn’t harm you.”
She waved her hand like it was okay.
“Huh…”
Raon sighed. There was no problem with the oath because it wasn’t harm as he said.
“It was fun while we were together.”
She floated into the air and disappeared like foam.
“I won’t be able to see you for a while because of work, but I’ll be looking forward to your performance.”
With those words, Merlin’s presence completely disappeared.
Raon let out a laugh and shrugged his shoulders.
‘I’m tired.’
I’m more tired now than I’ve been running all day.
Still…
“You don’t have to feed the lions.”
I was glad that Merlin was gone so I didn’t have to feed the lions.
“thank god.”
-That’s all that madwoman’s plan!
Lars lifted his head slightly and rolled his eyes.
-As far as the original king can see, that crazy woman’s head should have your portrait hanging instead of a brain!
The guy said it was creepy and his eyes trembled.
-I don’t need your body anymore…
Is that enough?
* * *
Cloud’s House, a nursery school filled with children’s laughter on the outside and screams on the inside.
It was Owen’s knights who guarded the place that had now become a desolate haunted house.
“I still can’t believe this orphanage used to raise assassins.”
The blond knight sighed as he looked at the cloud house.
“Not boring. Kidnapping children and raising them as assassins was something that could only come out of a novel…”
The black-haired knight lowered his eyes and shook his head.
“It’s not enough to say that it’s awful. The person who ordered this must be a demon wearing a human mask.”
“okay. It’s something no one can think of.”
As the two knights were grinding their teeth, recalling the culprit who raised the children to be assassins, two knights were approaching from the direction of Cameloon. It was a person who came to change.
“stop! stop! stop!”
The blonde knight drew his sword and aimed it at the approaching knight.
“Hands up! If you move, you will be cut!”
At that, the knights who came this way raised their hands.
“Who are you?”
“Oh it’s me. your motivation.”
The tall knight raised his helmet and smiled.
“beer.”
“chicken.”
After checking the password, the blonde knight lowered his sword.
“Good job.”
The new knights patted the shoulders of the knights on duty.
“How are the kids?”
The blond knight gathered his equipment and asked the new knights.
“Same. It doesn’t talk or laugh, just move like a machine.”
“I would die of pity if I looked at it.”
The knights who came for the shift clicked their tongues.
“Can’t it heal naturally?”
“Because it took a long time to be brainwashed.”
“They said someone to cure the brainwashing would come, so we’ll have to wait and see.”
The knights sighed as they recalled the eyes of the children who were as blank as dolls.
“If there really was a demon who did this in front of me, I would have cut him right away.”
“Arthur. Are you… um?”
The blond knight shook his hand and then turned around.
Tboob.
A tall man in a black bloody robe was walking this way. On his face, he was wearing a gray mask that covered his eyes, and his pupils were white, giving him a grotesque appearance.
“stop! stop! stop!”
The newly appointed knights pulled out their swords, but the man continued to approach without stopping.
“stop!”
“If you come any further, I will cut you!”
All four knights drew their swords and killed themselves, but the man continued to walk.
“grow.”
He raised his hand above the wind.
“what?”
“They said it was me who ran this place.”
An eerie smile bloomed on the man’s lips.
“This crazy!”
“Hit!”
Four knights moved simultaneously. Using the usual training pass, he rushed from four directions and took off his deep sword spirit.
Pukaaaaagh!
As the man slowly lowered his raised hand, the knights’ bodies were cut into dozens of pieces and scattered on the floor. It wasn’t like a swordsmanship aura, but it seemed like that outcome had been decided from the beginning.
“The worms.”
As he twirled his finger, the corpses and blood of the knights scattered to dust. From the beginning, there was no trace of people as if there had been nothing.
As the man stood in front of the orphanage building, masked men in black rose like shadows behind him.
The man removed the mask, revealing the chillingly cold face of Derus Robert.
“Start.”
At his direction, the shadows scattered here and there and began to search for traces.
Derus gave the order and went directly to the nursery school. With sharp, knife-like eyes, he inspected the floor, walls, and even the reverberations of the aura that remained there.
After going through the nursery school building, underground cavities and secret passageways, he climbed back up to the nursery school.
‘There is no trace.’
Borini Keaton is a knight of knights. Because he has such a lofty personality, he can’t solve this problem so neatly. There must have been a person from the shadows who had been covered in muddy water, but there was no trace of him anywhere.
‘This doesn’t make sense…’
No matter how much the knights stir, traces remain as long as they are human, but the only traces left here are shadows and knights. The presence of the person who intervened in the middle was completely erased.
“There is no trace outside the kennel.”
“There is no trace inside the kennel.”
“There are no signs of external and internal passages.”
Every time the shadows reported, tendons rose up on Derus’ forehead.
oh oh oh!
An eerie smile blooms on Derus Robert’s lips. From Owen, his patience, which he had endured and endured, was broken and his anger began to overflow.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaa!
The moment his eyes emitted an empty gray light, the entire nursery school and the underground space beneath it collapsed and turned to dust.
Whoa!
Derus took off his gloves in the blowing sandstorm. He rubbed the blood from the back of his hand to his lips and lifted his chin.
“Don’t kill me.”
Derus Robert looked down at the world with dry, blood-curdling eyes and gave a creepy smile.
“Wherever they are, whoever they are…”
* * *
Using his new identity, Raon rode to the dimensional gate and went down south. After deliberately moving to a place quite far from the Robert family, he reached Robert’s estate by alternating between walking and talking.
It arrived much sooner than expected, but I didn’t think so. All my senses saw was the Robert family in the distance.
‘It’s been 20 years…’
Mansions that are beautiful and elegant like the emerald sea. Prosecutors who exude a lofty spirit. From the bottom up to the vassals supporting the family.
There was no place for himself in that warm place like the falling sunlight. I couldn’t get my hands on anything.
‘Because the place I was in was a gutter.’
That place belongs to the people who live in the sun. He was just a hunting dog, stuck underground and grinding his fangs.
oh oh oh
Anger boils from the depths and depths of the soul. When the anger spreading through his veins tried to consume his entire body, he dispersed it using a ring of fire.
‘It’s not the time yet.’
This anger is not to be let loose in vain. They were precious and precious feelings that had to be repaid one by one to Derus and the officers who followed him.
-How can a house with such a snot stand there for an hour with nothing to see! I’m bored to death!
Lars frowned and grabbed his sleeve.
-You look like a country boy! If you see the castle of the original king later, your jaw will drop!
‘Maybe.’
Raon laughed. Thanks to this guy, the sinking feeling was a little relieved.
-Since it’s boring, serve local food here! I can’t stand the delicious smell from a while ago!
Lars gestured toward several restaurants saying he wanted to eat seaweed.
‘okay.’
Because it’s time to eat.
Raon smiled and shook his head. Finally, as he was about to leave the Robert family’s mansion in his eyes, a red-haired child approached him.
“Nice, right?”
“hmm?”
“That mansion. You’ve been watching that for an hour.”
He seemed to be approaching because he kept looking at the Robert family.
“okay. That’s cool.”
It was true that the buildings of the Robert family were more elegant than Sieghart’s, so he nodded.
“I’m going to be a prosecutor there too!”
Judging by her boastful speech, the child seemed to think she liked the Robert family.
“I will become the best swordsman on the continent to protect the south like Heavenly Swordsman!”
Raon looked down at the child properly. A wooden sword dangled from the waist of the child, who appeared to be in his early teens.
‘Similar to Pine.’
It was an age that seemed no different from the children I had saved from the nursery school this time.
But his expression was very different.
Unlike this child, who had a playfulness peculiar to his early teens, Pine and other children did not have a look of admiration.
same age. Although they are the same human beings, their personalities have been erased by a demon.
It saddened me that I had nothing to say to a child who wanted to be like the devil who did it.
Thanks to you, I got to know you again. what i should do
“is it.”
Raon smiled and stroked the child’s head.
“work hard.”
* * *
Raon ate lobster pizza, octopus steak, grilled squid, chili shrimp, gambas, and beaded ice cream as Lars wanted, and then moved in the direction of the underwater dungeon.
-What is this?!
Lars laughed and rubbed his shoulder. It was a superlative expression of feeling good.
-Now I have the heart to come under the king!
Lars, who enjoyed delicious food to his heart’s content, had a clear tone like a jade ball rolling. It’s been a while since I heard this voice.
‘It’s done.’
Raon shook his head. The reason Lars ate whatever he wanted was for another reason. I had no intention of going under him.
‘It’s going to be a mess soon, so you’d better move quickly.
Ignoring the endless chatter of Lars, I moved along the eastern shore. There were many tourists around the Robert family, but as they moved, the number of people began to decrease.
‘I must prepare now.’
Raon calmed down after changing into clothes worn by southerners like the residents of this place. After killing his presence to the point where it was hard to feel his presence even if he was right next to him, he moved along the shore again.
After moving like that all day, a signpost saying marine monsters appeared and a line announcing entry was prohibited.
‘It’s here.’
It was more than 20 years ago, but the appearance of the coast had not changed that much, so the location of the dungeon came to mind.
‘What’s more certain is…’
He smiled coldly at the sandy beach and trees. The presence of shadows guarding this place. It was made more certain thanks to the shadows hiding between the sandy beach and the trees.
It was clear that the dungeon was sunk beneath the sea in front of it.
oh oh
Raon killed the presence even more. I killed even the beating of my body organs to a minimum so that I could feel it not as a living thing, but as a scattering of sand, and looked at the sea quietly.
Even though the day passed and night came, Raon did not move. I watched the sea in the same posture as before. Even when the shadows hidden in front of him moved, Raon did not lift a finger.
– Ugh! I will die protecting you! Hungry too!
Lars couldn’t stand it and screamed loudly.
– Being unable to move and not being fed all day is torture!
‘That’s why I fed them a lot two days ago.’
-Oops….
The guy opened his mouth wide.
-Whe why did you buy everything you want to eat
?
– No need! Eating three full meals a day makes me happier!
‘Then what about Nadine’s bread?’
-That’s a full-bodied rubber! You madman!
‘If you’re hungry.’
-I’d rather drink seawater than eat it and fill my stomach!
‘Oh, I like that?’
– Oh no! You made a mistake!
Lars shook his head. It seemed like he really thought he would do it.
Raon smiled and looked at the sea again.
-You evil business owner! Weekly working hours violation! They didn’t even give me food, so they violated the Food Sanitation Act!
‘The Food Sanitation Act is not used for such cases… Quiet!’
I covered Lars’ mouth and swallowed dry saliva. After two days, someone was coming out from the beach.
Click.
Thirty masked men, a woman who appeared to be a wizard, and a tall black man cautiously walked out of the sea.
‘As expected.’
Mattio.
As expected, it was Mattio, the shadowy butler, who was exploring the dungeon while Derus was away.
‘Following the collapse of the dungeon…’
A deep red light flashed in Raon’s eyes.
‘I can take revenge.’
