Episode 526
Raon narrowed his eyes as he looked at the long sword that naturally came to mind. The inside was transparent as if it were made of water droplets, and the current was spreading like the sea.
The black shape wasn’t the only thing that was unusual. In that sword of water, not only Kaibar’s mana but also Aris’s aura flow was felt.
Cheeeeee!
The long sword of water slowly sank, sinking its blade into the world of images like other swords.
Hwaaaaa!
The cracks that appeared due to the descent of the Demon King slowly fill up and regain their original appearance.
The remnants of anger Lars had left behind melted away, and the pounding headache completely disappeared.
The world of images has been restored to the way it was before the devil’s descent, but the changes are not over yet.
Coooooo!
With a heartbeat as if it were exploding, the world of images expanded and new swords sprouted. It was the growth of the upper division.
‘To achieve growth beyond recovery…’
It seemed like now he could use the Sword Realm Manifestation with greater perfection than before.
‘The manifestation of the sword world is not everything.’
Raon smiled slightly as he looked at the water sword embedded in the world of images.
‘Because I have also learned the tricks of the space sword.’
The reason why you can feel Aris’ aura flow in that sword is because he learned a little bit about the space sword during the battle with Kaibar.
‘If I practice with all my might, I will be able to use the space sword in my own way.’
Aris’ space sword is different from the general swordsmanship techniques. My heart heated up at the thought of being able to acquire that mystical swordsmanship.
Raon closed his eyes and opened them after examining the entire world of images, which had become more vibrant than before.
The trance was broken and the blue sky and Lars’ squinted eyes were visible.
-Holy shit!
Lars screamed as soon as he made eye contact.
-All you have to do is recover! Why is it even growing?
The guy frowned as if he had noticed that the world of images had expanded.
-Even Dragon Heart helps! Why are you so lucky! I really don’t understand!
‘It’s not luck, it’s skill and effort.’
-Shut up! Are you saying that you don’t feel anything when you see the Eokka that comes to visit you every day?
Lars gritted his teeth, telling him to close his mouth.
‘Because I understand. ‘Stay away.’
As Raon was hitting Ras with his head, Lavawin approached.
“Raon.”
He gave me a worried look as he put an aura on his body.
“Are you okay?”
“yes. are you okay.”
“It’s not okay.”
Aris’ red eyes sparkled softly.
“He made a full recovery.”
She, too, was smiling coolly as if she understood what had happened in the world of images.
“I might be stronger than you now.”
“I’m so glad about that!”
Lavawin smiled as if he was happy that Raon had recovered, regardless of who won.
Contrary to his impression that he was a pirate with a bald head and full beard, he seemed to be the most good-natured man among Sieghardt’s soldiers.
“Tsk, you boring guy.”
Aris clicked his tongue briefly as if he didn’t like Labawin’s answer.
“Did you know?”
Raon sat down and turned his gaze to Aris.
“I thought you would definitely recover because your powerful skills were fluctuating in the top match. Of course…”
Aris looked at Raon with heated gaze.
“I didn’t know it would even grow.”
“I was also surprised. “I think Dragon Heart’s mana played a big role.”
Raon handed over the dragon heart still in his hand to Aris.
Even though a large amount of mana helped with healing and growth, the Dragon Heart still had an elusive level of mana remaining. It was like Dragon Heart, the best elixir.
“Look at that.”
Aris entrusted the Dragon Heart to Lavawin and raised Raon.
She raised her finger and pointed at the battleship approaching.
“Wow!”
“Raon! Raon! Raon! Raon!”
The crew of the battleship were still shouting at the top of their lungs.
Cuberud was also in tears, holding the two children in his arms.
“At least wave your hand.”
Aris raised her hand first and smiled brightly.
“Everyone here is a hero, but you have become the hero of heroes.”
She made an embarrassed noise and turned her back.
“Hmm…”
Raon saw not people, but Kaibar’s severed neck and head.
When I saw the sword marks dug out with the Jecheon Sword, I remembered the difficult battle and the moment I overcame it.
A scenery I would never have seen if I hadn’t been so tired. I was glad I didn’t give up until the end.
‘It’s not just me, it’s everyone’s victory.’
-Victory and damn it.
As I was waving and smiling at the sailors, Lars made a face.
-Are you going to take that lizard meat? The salt will soak in so you won’t need any seasoning!
Lars swallowed his saliva, saying that he had to take care of it at all costs.
‘Hmm, what should I do….’
-If you ignore the main king this time, he will really cry! You will really cry!
Raon just laughed at the threat, which wasn’t scary at all.
‘I see.’

Mount Lushain blocks the west side of the Robertetre family.
Derus Robert entered the gorgeous and elegant mountain basement.
He walked down the dark hallway with familiar steps and headed toward the center of the community.
“Are you here?”
A sturdy old man wearing black night clothes bowed his head.
Derus stood next to the old man with his chin in silence. Beneath his cold eyes, children who appeared to be no older than 10 years old were kneeling with their eyes covered with eye patches.
“Ugh.”
“Where am I!”
“mom! dad!”
“Please send me home!”
The children seemed to know that they had been kidnapped, shaking their shoulders and crying out for help.
“Is it around 210?”
Derus counted the numbers, rubbing his chin as if he was not impressed by the children’s screams.
“yes. “213 people to be exact.”
The old man bowed his head low and told the exact number of children.
“There are more than usual.”
“Thanks to the appearance of the Six Emperors, Five Spirits, and the Demon King and Dragon this time, many children lost their parents. “I could have gotten a little more, but there were a lot of them in bad condition, so I skipped them.”
He spoke of people as if he were picking vegetables or fruits, and frowned slightly.
“Your muscles are definitely fine. It’s good enough to be used as an assassin. “There are some things that are good to raise unattended.”
Derus Robert smiled slightly as he looked at the children whose lips were pursed in fear.
“Proceed with brainwashing as usual, and even feed lazy worms to those who are okay.”
“All right.”
When the old man nodded, shadow instructors came out from the darkness and dragged the children away.
“I’m sorry for giving you this job again.”
Derus looked at the children being dragged away and tapped the old man on the shoulder.
“Don’t say that. “Because I posted stupid things.”
The old man bowed his head deeply, as if he was grateful. When he said something stupid, his eyes sparkled fiercely.
“Then please do me a favor.”
Derus turned his back on the old man and climbed the stairs next to the pillar. He entered a neatly organized room like an office and sat down on a dark-colored chair.
woo woo woo
The shadow under the bookshelf flickered, revealing Kubara wearing a black dress rather than her usual maid’s uniform.
“Any news about Raon Sieghardt?”
Derus asked without even looking back.
“Still not there.”
Kubara prostrated herself and raised her gaze.
“There is no word or movement even inside Sieghardt.”
She shook her head, saying that Raon’s name itself had disappeared from Sieghart’s realm.
“Is he really dead?…”
Derus looked down at the empty cavity for a while and then slowly looked away.
“What’s going on at the cargo factory?”
“We are working on improvements based on learnings from the Siris failure. “This is a study to develop the intelligence and explosive power of signers.”
“Send twice as many people and funds there.”
“Do you mean twice as much?”
“It may be a bit of an excessive investment, but it will pay off in the end.”
He lifted his glass and moistened his lips.
“It won’t be long before the flames of war rekindle on the continent.”
Derus quietly put down his empty glass and smiled so creepy that it gave me goosebumps.
“The number of passengers on that day will be the biggest variable.”

Raon returned to the port of Aicar, where he had sailed with eight ships of the line.
It took four days to return because they had to bring back Kaibar’s body, which had been split in half.
It took a long time, but the crew’s expressions were brighter than ever because they had killed Gwangryong and the war was over.
Raon stood on the deck and looked at the port. The residents who remained in Aikar can be seen in front of the wall being restored.
People were coming out and waving as there was already a rumor going around that they had caught a dragon.
It was so far away and the waves were strong that I couldn’t hear what they were saying exactly, but I could see them cheering, crying and laughing.
“Ooooooooo!”
“Aikarda!”
“It’s all over now!”
Sailors on Cheongpung and other battleships also waved to the residents and shouted.
-Wow!
Lars also jumped out of the bracelet and roared towards the port.
-It’s a dragon! I am finally free from beef jerky and nadine bread!
Of course, the meaning was different from others.
“Wow!”
As the slowly advancing warships docked in the harbor, the residents of Aikar let out a deafening roar.
“Now take it out!”
Aris got off the battleship first and clapped his hands, and the wizards picked up Kaibar’s body, which they had been dragging to the ship, and placed it in the port.
When the shrinking spell was lifted and the gigantic body revealed itself, the barrier that had been restored collapsed again and the entrance to the harbor collapsed.
“Ugh…”
“Is this Kaibar, the light dragon?”
“Crazy…”
“What kind of creature is the size of a city!”
The residents of Aikar could not close their mouths when they saw Khaibar’s corpse. Everyone was astonished by its unimaginable size.
“Did you really catch this?”
“That doesn’t make sense….”
“I worked really hard.”
“He did it all.”
Aris stepped on Kaibar’s head and pointed at Raon.
“I just opened the way and this guy cut off my head.”
She started clapping first, asking to praise Raon.
“Wow!”
“Raon! Raon! Raon!”
“As expected, White Sword Dragon!”
“Isn’t it a bit much to call it a sword dragon now? “I caught the light dragon.”
“that’s right. “Before I came here, I even beat the Grand Master. I think I need a new nickname.”
Sailors and residents began to gather to give Raon a new nickname.
“Let’s do that later and start the festival today!”
Aris grinned and waved his hand. She waved her arms around the people in front and shouted to them to quickly prepare drinks.
Even though he looks like that, Aris is a person with deep thoughts. It seemed like they wanted to hold a festival to celebrate victory and comfort the sorrow of losing a comrade.
Raon got off the Cheongpung and looked at Kaibar’s body.
Even though it was submerged in the sea for four days, its body was still firm. It seemed to be because natural mana still remained in the bones and flesh.
-I told you! The meat is sticky! It has been pickled just right, so you should eat it now!
Lars drooled, saying that he should quickly grill the meat and eat it.
‘okay. ‘I’ll tell you.’
It was when Raon approached Aris to ask him to try grilled dragon.
Wooooow!
A bright yellow light fluttered over the harbor, and a blond old man with an elegant figure wrapped like a coat appeared.
I was floating in the air without any magic, but I could feel an unbelievably huge flow of mana.
‘That…’
I couldn’t feel how much mana it had. It was a gigantic scale that went beyond transcendence.
-That guy is that guy.
Lars frowned, glaring at the old man.
‘That guy?’
-The shiny dragon that fired its breath at the main king. That guy has turned into a human!
‘Ah…’
It seemed like he was referring to the gold dragon that fired its breath so loudly when Ras was fighting with the White Blood Cult Master and the Holy Sword Master.
‘Why now…’
It’s not that he doesn’t have the strength to fight, but if the battle breaks out now, everyone except himself and Aris Labawin will die. My heart felt like it was burning.
“It ended up like this.”
The gold dragon quietly stepped on the ground. He clicked his tongue as he looked at Kaibar’s torn off neck.
“Did it really have to be done this way?”
The dragon’s dry gaze turned to Aris. My shoulders are weighed down as if there is a weight in the air. The atmosphere of the port, which had been excited by the festival, became dark.
“what?”
Aris sent the people who were shoulder to shoulder behind her and tilted her chin at an angle. She seemed to know that the old man was a dragon.
“What should I have done?”
“Couldn’t have ended it properly.”
The dragon let out a low sigh and touched the ground with his staff.
“You should have said that to that crazy guy first.”
Aris kicked Kaibar’s body with his toe.
“If you had stopped him before he massacred humans, this wouldn’t have happened, right?”
The corner of her mouth twisted up. My face turned red as if I was getting feverish.
“Dragons are independent beings. “Unless it is a situation where the Demon Lord descends or the balance is broken, you have no obligation to follow my words as a Lord.”
“That means you are incompetent.”
Aris snorted as she looked at the dragon’s staff.
“Hmm…”
Raon looked at the old man and swallowed dry saliva.
‘That old man is the Dragon Lord?’
I thought he was strong, but I didn’t know he was a dragon lord. The sense of crisis that had been creeping in was giving off a stronger stench.
“Dragons are using their power for the survival of the world. It’s not driven by simple emotions. Kaibar is a wise man who was approaching the ancient dragon. “If you kill a human being, there must be a good reason.”
The Lord narrowed his eyes, saying that dragons only think about the greater good.
“Ahahahahaha!”
Aris threw her hair back and burst into laughter.
“representation? What’s the cause of a crazy lizard with nothing but madness? A neutral person on the continent? Guardian of the Continent? It’s all bullshit. “You guys are just big kids who can’t control their power.”
Her eyes cooled down.
“This must be a difficult statement for a human being who lives in the moment.”
“You talk nonsense every time you open your mouth?”
“I will not seek revenge for my compatriots who have already died. As I said at the beginning, we are an independent species. However…”
The Dragon Lord let out a low breath and shook his head.
“I will take Kaibar’s dragon heart and body.”
He stretched out his hand to hand over Kaibar’s Dragon Heart.
-What did that little lizard say? The meat marinated in salt belongs to the king!
Lars shook his chin as if he was dumbfounded.
-Let the King come down! I will break your neck right now!
The guy struggled to get over quickly.
oh oh oh!
Raon lowered his posture so that he could move at any time and placed his hand on the blade of the Jecheon Sword.
“What a bountiful harvest.”
Aris sneered and showed her white teeth.
“Khaibar’s corpse is our trophy. “I have no intention of handing over anything.”
“Then I guess I can’t help it.”
The Dragon Lord raised his hand. An explosive wave of mana spread and the sky and sea began to distort.
“This is not revenge against our compatriots, but a measure to prevent a crisis on the continent. “Don’t complain.”
Unlike Kaibar, the mana wave of the Dragon Lord, who was perfectly on top of the ancient dragon, enveloped Aikar.
My arms and legs could not move due to the incredible energy waves of the gold dragon that controlled lightning and the weather.
‘That vile lizard…’
It was clear that the Dragon Lord was trying to take revenge, saying that it was not revenge on his people, but a measure to prevent a crisis. It was not a dragon, but a snake-like thing.
“This is an experience where a child struggles and an adult emerges.”
Aris sneered as he kicked Kaibar’s body again.
“That’s not it…”
“Then we have no choice but to call an adult.”
“What does that mean?”
The Dragon Lord’s pupils narrowed.
“Do you know who his grandfather is?”
Aris raised her finger and pointed at Raon.
“Hmm….”
“Glenn Sieghart, King of Destruction.”
As the Dragon Lord narrowed his eyes at Raon, Aris continued speaking.
“If you want to see your entire species destroyed by that old man, go ahead!”
“Ah…”
Aris spread her arms as if telling her to do as she pleased, and the Dragon Lord’s fingertips trembled.
