Chapter 400
Raon brushed up his sweaty hair and approached Dorian.
“Is there more holy water?”
Dorian is an obsessive hoarder of things.
He said that since he used up all the holy water when he saved people from the Black Tower, he replenished a much larger amount.
“I have it, but shouldn’t I save it?”
“No, I have to write now.”
Raon shook his head as he looked at the undead army. I can’t get close to you now because of the holy water and flame barrier, but I’ll start to advance again soon.
“Because I can’t hold out until morning anyway.”
“Yes?”
“If we continue like this, the castle will collapse before the sun rises.”
I didn’t say it to scare you. Everyone who was exhausted from the 5-day battle could never stop the advance of that amount.
“Then did you give up your support?”
“Because I can’t just wait forever.”
“I’m sure…”
Dorian took out the remaining six holy waters with trembling hands.
“This is it.”
“thanks. Take the money out of my deposit.”
“I’m not a bank…”
Raon clapped his hands behind Dorian, who grumbled that he was a bank in his pocket now.
Gwangpungdan, who had a calm face on top of the castle wall, gathered.
“Wendy-nim and Frica-nim, please come this way too.”
He even called the two people who commanded the imperial sword and the rangers.
“As you may know, this is the limit.”
Everyone bit their lips without saying anything. Seeing that even Marta kept her mouth shut, everyone was accepting reality.
“So we will use the last method.”
“The last method?”
“What is it! Tell me quickly!”
Burren and Martha took a step forward at the same time.
Raon met everyone’s eyes and opened his mouth slowly.
“I will open the gate and go out.”
“You’re opening the gate?”
Fricca’s cheeks trembled.
“What are you talking about! There are still so many!”
He shook his head at the sight of the undead legion slowly besieging the castle, though not approaching.
“It is impossible to hold out until morning. The castle will fall before sunrise and the massacre will begin.”
Until now, thanks to the castle’s protective ability, it was possible to block the aura of death, but even that disappears when the castle wall collapses.
Gasols as well as Rangers will be down and will not be able to handle the enemy.
“The only way to reverse this situation is to break through the undead army and catch the Arch Lich.”
Raon looked at Gwangpungdan, Mark Goeton, and finally Wendy Ariane.
“I, Gwangpungdan, and Wendy-sama are leaving. The undead will come after us, but the others should protect the walls here just in case.”
Most of the imperial swordsmen were of the lower expert level, so they weren’t helpful.
A small number of elites must run through the walls of corpses as quickly as possible.
“All right!”
Wendy nodded, hitting her left breast with her right hand. It was the kind of look that would follow her if she hadn’t taken her with her.
“request. Freeca.”
She smiled lightly as she held Frica’s shoulder.
“It looks reckless, but I wonder if this will happen…”
Fricca let out a deep sigh as if worried.
“good! very good!”
Martha hit the wall hard with her palm.
“I was annoyed that you were only blowing black, but the time has finally come!”
She showed her teeth and smiled, saying that now she seems to be able to show off her skills.
“I agree too.”
Burren nodded in agreement with Martha’s words, which was rare.
“I was tired of watching from above.”
He caught his breath and glared at the undead crowd.
“Let’s finish quickly and go get some ice cream.”
Runan blinked his blind eyes and curled up his lips very thinly.
“You should have left sooner!”
“All the damn undead bastards are dead!”
“Watch out for your head. You corpses!”
Gwangpungdan also raised a cool momentum by grabbing the sword as if stress had accumulated.
“Dorian.”
Raon called out to Dorian and gestured.
“Take out the Cheongyeondan.”
Cheongyeondan is not an elixir, but a kind of restorative medicine, which has an excellent effect in replenishing consumed aura.
“yes!”
Dorian put his hand in his belly pocket and took out a blue yeondan according to the number of people.
“Eat Cheongyeondan and practice for two hours.”
“Two hours?”
“Even if I sprinkled holy water, it would dry up in an hour?”
“How are you going to hold out alone in the meantime?”
“No matter how much he is, it is impossible for him to be alone!”
“You are not alone.”
Raon gestured to Yua, who was quietly watching the seniors behind Runan.
“Because we have the secret weapon of the rabid dogs.”
“It’s not a mad dog…”
* * *
Wendy Arian opened the bedroom door for the first time in a while. I couldn’t come for only 5 days, but it felt awkward as if I hadn’t come in a year.
“No…”
She forced herself to stop, naturally heading towards the bed, and sat down on the floor.
‘I can’t betray expectations.’
Raon is still fighting on top of the castle wall. In order to follow him, I had to recover more aura and stamina than when I was sleeping.
‘The more I go through, the more I admire it.’
I knew Raon was great even before he came here. He was the youngest Master and was given the title of envy of White Sword Dragon, so he couldn’t help but know.
But that was the powerless side.
No matter how great a genius is, I thought that the experience would be immature because he was still young.
‘But…’
Not at all.
Raon Sieghart had not only the power to be astounded, but also had an excellent mental system, reading mind, and an eye to see the battlefield.
He was not an inexperienced swordsman, but an unmanned soldier who was already on his way to completion. For the first time, I met someone much younger but respectable.
“Huh…”
Wendy let out a short breath as she touched the blue rostrum.
‘It will be difficult. I might not be able to reach the end.’
Even if you restore the aura for 2 hours, you cannot recover half of your power. On the other hand, the enemy was still increasing.
It may be impossible to break through the undead army and reach the end of the land of the dead.
However, it seemed that the miracle could be achieved if it was with Raon.
Wendy peeled off the cloth covering the cheongyeondan and put it in her mouth. A soft smile was drawn on her lips as she closed her eyes and practiced the exercises.
* * *
An hour has passed since Raon soaked the wall with the remaining three holy waters.
When the effect of the holy water disappeared, the undead began to approach with a thicker morale.
“Laon!”
Frica came running screaming.
“The old bastards are coming!”
He pointed at the arrows the Gasols had made and bit his lip.
“If you even blow an arrow…”
“Save that.”
The few arrows and javelins must be used when marching. Now I had to hold on in a different way.
“It’s an infant.”
“yes!”
The infant approached with a smile. It was a forced smile, but the atmosphere seemed to brighten up.
“Do you remember how I played with the sword when I was training with Loen-nim?”
“Ah yes!”
She nodded, saying of course she remembered.
“It’s like back then. Because from now on I will play with the sword. You sing the song accordingly.”
“A song?”
“It doesn’t matter how you call it or what you call it. Just sing while thinking that you are protecting the people here.”
“I will try!”
Yua nodded, shaking her pigtails.
“thanks.”
After stroking the infant’s head, Raon headed to the front of the castle wall.
Koo-goo-goo-goo!
The ground seemed to shake as the immeasurable number of undead hordes moved.
The holy water dried up and the flames stopped, so they advanced without any fear.
“La Raon!”
“coming!”
“Papa quick instructions!”
Freica and the Rangers urgently shouted.
Raon shook his hand, saying not to worry, and pulled out the requiem sword he was wearing at his waist.
Chaaaaang!
Enjoying the clear sound of the sword, which did not match the name of the ghost, he swept the requiem sword.
‘request.’
Whoa!
The requiem sword rang a low sword as if to say not to worry.
“I will begin.”
After looking at Yooa, he channeled the energy of a cartoonist into the soul sword.
Woo woo woo woo!
The requiem sword burned red and fired a mighty sword.
Not the energy of resentment, but the auspicious cry of wanting to save people, and the steps of the undead began to slow down.
“It’s an infant. according to this flow.”
“yes!”
The toddler ran forward and put her hands together and closed her eyes.
“The name of Habun, who guards the gray wall of the north…”
She chose a military song. It was also the military song of Habun Castle.
‘I see why.’
For infants, the song that protects everyone seems to have been a military song that they have heard countless times since they were young.
Whoa!
The will of the soul sword to protect everyone on this land and the will of YooA harmoniously interlocked, creating a huge resonance that twisted the darkness.
Quaaaaaaaa!
The aura-infused melody spread and the feet of the undead stopped as if they were fixed on the ground. They shuddered and trembled, but couldn’t even take a step closer.
“Ah…”
Fricca grew goosebumps and grabbed her right arm tightly. As Raon assured, the undead were blocked by the song and couldn’t move.
“Ugh, how could a miracle like this be possible with a melody…”
I had heard of a legend that a soldier who had learned the melody alone stopped thousands of soldiers, but I never imagined that it would really happen. I got goosebumps and my body trembled.
“hmm.”
Julius stood next to the infant with his mouth shut. There was a will to protect Yua no matter what in the firm expression.
Raon smiled softly and operated the yogi that bloomed from the soul sword more naturally.
Woo woo woo!
As in the case of Cheongwoo, the flow of swordsmanship was connected like a waterway, and the infant’s song spread more widely.
Chiyiying!
The song imbued with will becomes a sharp sword and pushes away the undead. Those who swayed backwards got entangled with each other and collapsed on their own.
-hey.
Raon was adjusting his sword blade to Yua’s song when Lars jumped out of the bracelet.
– Are you really going out?
‘I have to go out. Because there is no way.’
-The guy who controls the undead right now is tempting you to come out. There’s no way that you, a meek bastard, don’t know?
Lars frowned, asking why he didn’t know, even though he was the best among humans in terms of ugliness.
‘know.’
Raon nodded slowly.
‘Whether it’s the Arch Lich or the guy behind it, he’s pretty smart.’
As if he knew the atmosphere of the Aryan family, he attacked at the worst moment, and seeing that he was not a strong monster, but reducing his physical strength and mental strength through attrition, it was clear that Lars was tempting him to come out as he said.
– Knowing that, why are you going?
‘Because this side also has a dagger.’
– Dagger?
Raon raised his finger and pointed at Lars.
-Are you saying that the original king is a dagger?
‘okay. What the Arch Reach has in mind is me, who fought continuously for five days. They must want to be in a state where they are so exhausted that they can’t even pump out sword strength properly. But…’
He clenched his fists with a chill in his eyes.
‘Because if I get your help, I can go back to how it was originally.’
If you make a deal with Lars, your mind will be more devastated, but your aura and physical strength will return to their original state.
No one else would be able to endure it, but I was confident that I could endure it because I had lived as a shadow and experienced one death.
‘There’s even divine power there.’
After recovering his aura and physical strength, if he unleashed a divine sword strike, he was confident that he would be able to subdue an Arch Lich or a Death Knight with a single blow.
[Climbing the mountain after enduring the cold wind of the North Sea…]
Raon closed his eyes while listening to the young child’s song with the will to save people. Red flashes of thunder flashed in his eyes.
“He will regret what he did in my presence.”
* * *
Thanks to Yua’s time delay, Gwangpungdan, Mark Goeton, and Wendy Arian returned after fully recovering their stamina and aura.
Raon looked back in front of the castle gate. A spirit as sharp as a blade was blooming from the aligned Gwangpungdan and Wendy Arian.
‘My heart is perfect.’
Giving them time wasn’t just to recover their stamina and aura.
It meant to come with a strong will to fight the final battle, but it seems to have worked well enough.
“I guess this is where the real battle begins.”
Burren turned his wrists and smiled.
“Leave yourself loose until your fingertips.”
He looked at the members of the Gwangpungdan one by one and relaxed them.
“As expected, it’s best to break the head yourself instead of black magic.”
Martha let out a cold laugh and clenched her fists.
“I’m going to poke the head of the Arch Lich.”
She smacked her lips, saying she would not yield to anyone.
“Is Raon okay?”
Runaan took a step forward and raised his head.
“You haven’t slept.”
She nodded her head with bloodshot eyes from sleeplessness.
“Would the Vice Lord be able to come after us?”
“therefore! Aren’t you falling behind alone?”
“If you’re late, I’ll leave you behind!”
“You should tell Crane that.”
Raon pointed at the crane, who kept his mouth shut.
“Oh right!”
“It’s always the crane that falls first!”
“Unique Crane!”
“Exit Professional Prosecutor!”
Gwangpungdan looked back at the crane and giggled.
“no! It was just bad luck!”
Crane shook his head with his face flushed red.
“Where is the luck in the world of competition!”
“that’s right. It’s all skill!”
“If you fall out again today, get rid of the assistant manager position!”
Gwangpungdan swordsmen threw jokes at each other even though they faced an uncountable undead army.
Raon looked at Gwangpungdan with trusting eyes.
“Cranes may fall apart, but rabid dogs do not abandon their comrades.”
At those words, the smile on the corner of Gwangpungdan’s lips grew thicker. A confident laugh seemed to erase the grim situation.
“But it’s not mad dogs…”
“The strategy is simple. The rabid team rushes in while maintaining the rubella in the center, Sir Mark and Wendy-sama assisting on both sides.”
Burren’s words spilled out and he raised his finger.
“What about Raon?”
Runan looked at Raon’s hand and tilted his head.
“I have to open the way from the front.”
Raon tapped his sword sheath. The key to this fight is speed. The goal is to quickly break through the siege and arrive at the end of the land of death with pillars.
“Because I will run with all my power. Follow up unconditionally.”
“yes!”
The Gwangpungdan became one and let out a loud shout.
“I will follow you until the end.”
“Please.”
Mark Goeton and Wendy Aryan also nodded with their fists clenched.
Raon wet everyone’s body with a watering can filled with the remaining holy water while smiling.
It won’t last long, but it will be of great help for a while.
“Then…”
I felt the presence of people when I opened the gate and went out.
‘They are…’
Aryan family’s gasols were gathered. They trembled at the evil energy felt right in front of them, but bowed their heads as if asking for a favor. Since there were no words, I felt the sincerity rather.
“Laon! They’re coming up the hill!”
Fricca’s voice came from above the castle wall.
“We have to get out now!”
“Whoa.”
Raon caught his breath while standing in front of the castle gate. When the morale he felt in front of him reached its peak, he shouted upwards.
“Open door.”
“Open the door!”
The castle gate opened with a creak as if the entire castle was shaking.
