Episode 569
“Aris Sieghart?”
Rektar looked at Aris, who was blocking Raon’s path, and clicked his tongue briefly as if he was disappointed.
“No, it’s not just you.”
He faced Aris and rolled his eyes to the right.
“what?”
Aris pushed away Rektar’s hand with his sword and narrowed his eyes.
“The idiots of the Seonggeomryeon only know how to use a sword and their intelligence skills are poor. “How did you know my name?”
“You can’t ignore the Pirate King of Hsinchu Oring.”
“I’m not the pirate king!”
She chewed her molars vigorously and plunged her sword into Rektar’s left chest.
Cheeeeee!
Rektar drew a semicircle with his right hand. The capital fell gracefully like the setting moon and broke Aris’ sword strike. It was a mysterious flow that seemed to erase the aura itself.
Wow!
Aris’ twisted sword strike struck the ground, causing a crack of bloody proportions.
Whoa!
Black smoke rose, creating a thin wall between Aris and Rektar.
“How could Aris be here…”
Raon swallowed dryly as he watched Aris adjust his sword.
“….”
Aris did not answer. She glared at the smoke as if she didn’t like Rektar and showed a fierce spirit.
‘You talked to me for no reason during the battle.’
-You really have no sense in this way!
I was about to step back, thinking I had made a mistake, when Lars waved his finger.
‘what?’
-It’s not because we’re in battle, it’s because the title is wrong.
‘Title…’
came to mind, but I wondered if it was because of that. Still, just in case, I called him by that name.
“aunt.”
“okay! “My nephew!”
Aris quickly turned her head and smiled brightly. He seemed like a different person than when he sent life to Rektar.
“How did you get here?”
I unconsciously stuttered at Aris’s excessive reaction, which I felt for the first time in a long time.
“I had no choice but to return to the family after calling you so many times, but you were not there. “I was waiting to go back after seeing you, but I heard that a request for support came from Gwangpungdae, so I rushed over right away.”
“Ah…”
Raon forgot what he was saying for a moment as he looked at Aris’ confident eyes.
‘What kind of action?’
Aris probably ignored Glenn’s instructions and ran all the way here on his own.
I felt it from the first time I saw her, but she seemed like a free person who lived as she pleased, regardless of Sieghardt’s name.
“Imora… I see. “I’m going to be your aunt.”
Rektar looked at Raon and Aris in turn and calmly nodded. His eyes seemed to have sunken deeper.
“Why are you jealous?”
Aris rolled up the corners of her mouth and tilted her head to one side.
“Well, I guess I’m jealous. “If you had a nephew who became a grand master at the age of 21, everyone in the neighborhood would be talking about it.”
“gibberish.”
“If not, why did you try to take me there?”
“….”
Rektar did not answer but showed a cold look in his eyes. When I saw his eyes, which were as dry as the desert, the situation from a little while ago came back to me.
‘But…’
Couldn’t you have caught me a little while ago?
Since I was at close range to surprise Rektar with the requiem sword, he could have caught me if he had just grabbed his fingers.
Even if Aris had unleashed the space sword, Rektar would have been faster, but it felt like he had let it go on purpose.
-You are right.
Ras looked at Rektar and nodded.
-That old man didn’t catch you on purpose.
‘As expected…’
Raon looked at Rektar and chewed his lips. What Lars said is certain.
I don’t know the exact reason, but it was clear that Rektar didn’t catch me on purpose.
‘The eyes look a little strange too.’
I know this because I received one-on-one guidance from Rektar. The man who was personally demonstrating and explaining swordsmanship remained in the cold wind-like gaze.
In particular, he is a person believed to be related to his father. With such a sudden change, it was clear that something was involved.
‘Brainwashing? Or at least a weakness has been discovered.’
I’ve never heard of it being possible to brainwash a transcendental person, but the situation was so strange that my thoughts focused on that.
“Mr. Rektar. What on earth happened? If you were brainwashed or had a weakness…”
“Brainwashing?”
Rektar looked away with cold eyes.
“Do you think you can brainwash a transcendental person?”
He made a sneer with his slightly curled lips.
“It is my will that I am in Seonggeomryeon.”
Rektar calmly revealed the truth and drew his sword. When the sword he had been taught in swordsmanship turned towards and showed its deadly force, my heart ached as if I had been stabbed by a sword.
‘Is this fate too?…’
If Raon had lived as a shadow in his previous life, he would have stabbed Rektar with his sword without any emotion as soon as he thought he had been betrayed, but now that he knew it was fate, he could not show only malice.
Knowing the relationships between people was not just an advantage.
“Rektar.”
Aris moistened her dry lips and nodded.
“okay. As expected, he was a sword demon. “If the sword master of the world was a member of the Holy Swordsman, all the honor he had built up until now would be thrown into the gutter, right?”
“The reputation that others consider is not important.”
Rektar raised his gaze proudly, as if he was not ashamed. His willful sword revealed a faint light.
“The only thing that matters is what I mean.”
“A filthy person doesn’t even know how to say nice things.”
Aris laughed, put the sword back into its sheath, and lowered her posture. It seemed like he was trying to immediately gain the upper hand with a sword technique that cuts through space.
“Anyway, it will be better for you and me if we finish it quickly.”
“what?”
“This guy’s grandfather will be here soon. “Do you know who it is?”
She pointed at Raon and laughed.
“Ah…”
Raon widened his eyes. It seemed like he was trying to use the lie he told the Dragon Lord again, but this doesn’t work on Rek’tar.
“It certainly could be.”
However, contrary to expectations, Rektar nodded briefly and raised his sword as if he believed Aris’ words. The sword slowly approaching like a turtle seemed so huge.
Coo coo coo coo!
This land. No, it seemed as if the world itself was being stabbed with a sword. As I looked at the near-complete Mangeom from the enemy’s point of view, a chill ran down my spine.
‘Is this the true Mangeom?’
The ring of fire rotated on its own and analyzed the young creatures in Rektar’s bay sword.
Heavy swords, dull swords, round swords, absolute swords, and even broken swords. Like instruments in an orchestra, each individual’s skills were exquisitely harmonized, and a power beyond the scope of swordsmanship was unleashed.
Coo!
Aris struck the ground with her left foot and struck. The slash of space that soared with brilliant light struck Rektar’s sword strike.
Hahaha!
A tremendous roar erupted as if pillar to pillar, not sword to sword, collided, and a wave of auras turned the ground upside down.
“Ugh…”
Raon’s lips trembled as he faced the terrifying sight.
‘You must not back down. It has to be here.’
In order to surprise Rektar, I had to keep my distance from Aris.
However, rather than a surprise attack, my eyes were drawn to the artistic chain of sword strikes achieved by Aris and Rektar.
Even though I was so embarrassed and in a life-threatening situation, I felt like I was only thinking about the advancement of swordsmanship.
Cheeeeee!
Aris took a step back from Rektar and stabbed his sword backwards.
The space in front of Rektar’s chest split and a sword strike like a thunderbolt erupted.
However, Rektar showed a leisurely evasion by twisting his shoulders as if he knew where Aris’ space sword was going. He was reading the flow of this fight now.
‘As expected…’
Raon frowned as he looked at Rektar’s calm expression.
‘That’s up.’
Although they were at the same level of transcendence, Rektar was of a higher level than Aris.
“Can I take my time like that? Are you saying that if I wait a while, his grandfather will come?
Aris lifted her finger as if provoking. It seemed like they were trying to open a loophole by making Rektar impatient.
“Hmm…”
Rektar’s complexion did not change at all, and a young light was scattered on his sword.
A cluster of light extending along the rotating wrist suddenly penetrated the gap between Aris. It was a new spatial slash with a different texture from her spatial sword.
“Tsk.”
Aris clicked her tongue and raised the sword she held with both hands diagonally. The unformed aurors strongly engaged and pushed away the wall blocking the space.
In the crack, Aris’ sword shield and Rektar’s sword strike met.
Hahaha!
An enormous shock wave exploded inside the crack, tearing away thick cracks engraved in the air.
Touuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
The ground collapsed as a result of the wave of thoughts that spread thickly, and a waterspout fell from the sky that looked like it had been crushed.
Cheeeeee!
Rektar and Aris poured sword strikes at each other from inside the storm created by the clash of thoughts.
It looked like a whistle, but in reality, Aris was being pushed back little by little.
However, even though she was injured, she did not back down and struck with even more ferocity. As if he was wasting time before Glenn arrived, he clashed his swords with Rektar head-on.
Whoops!
The heavens and earth are shaken by the decisive battle of the transcendents. The ground, which was no longer cracked, was hollowed out, revealing black holes, and the sky was split, emitting a soft red light.
Aris and Rektar exchanged swords without stopping even in the fractured space. The two people’s auras were infinite and their breathing seemed to be uninterrupted.
However, Rektar’s sword suddenly bent and the course changed. All attack and defense sword strikes were wrapped around the blade extending like a thunderbolt.
Hahaha!
Aris’ sword could not extend any further and was blocked. Her entire direction was blocked by Rektar’s intentions. It was literally a prison of thoughts.
Raon’s fingertips trembled as he watched Rektar’s sword change like a thin wind or a fierce thunderbolt.
‘It’s strange…’
If it’s a battle between transcendents, no matter how much I become a Grand Master, I shouldn’t be able to see much.
In fact, Aris’ space sword was beyond my understanding, so I couldn’t figure out much.
However, Rektar’s sword was straight and honest, like when sparring. His teachings came to mind and I could feel how to achieve Mangeom.
“It’s a great talent. But…”
Rektar lowered his sword and shook his head.
“I’m still immature.”
“Unlike you, I’m still in my prime!”
Aris curled her red lips and forcibly twisted the prison of her thoughts. Even though blood was bleeding not only from his arms and legs but also from his lips, the blade that he held out to the end relieved Rektar’s intense pressure.
“I’ve seen enough of your skills, so let’s finish it.”
Rektar nodded calmly and raised his sword. When he aimed his sword at Aris, for a moment it seemed like he was the only one in the world. The absolute presence of a human being transformed into a sword was revealed.
“You don’t just get older.”
Aris also realized that she was being pushed out and chewed her lip. Holding the sword with both hands, he unleashed a spatial slash that cut down the Auror itself.
Kuwaaaa!
The majestic blade that cut even the breath of the light dragon Kaibar tore through the space of Rektar.
Of course, Rektar seemed to have expected that he would do that much, and with calm eyes, he stretched out the sword filled with the skill of the 10,000 swords. As majestic light was about to fill the space, Raon moved.
Raon pulled out the Jecheon sword he had put in his scabbard and captured the group that had reached super ascent.
Raon Sieghart style swordsmanship.
Type 4 Cheongwoo.
A faint sound rings out from the blade rising as it gnaws through the sheath. A blade of blue sound pierced Rektar’s ears.
But I wasn’t the only one who thought of a surprise attack.
Paaaaaaaa!
Red-colored beams of light streamed out from behind the collapsed wall of Gajujeon.
The old woman’s mask, revealed above her fluttering robes, shined brightly. It was Merlin. As if she had been preparing for some time, her magic rushed like a flash and poured out to Rektar’s right side.
Wow!
In response to the three-way attack on Aris Raon Merlin, an enormous storm of light rose from the space where Rektar was standing. Magic and sword strikes exploded in succession, and countless rays of light soared into the sky.
“Are we a match made in heaven?”
Merlin slightly curled the corners of his mouth.
“The timing is perfect.”
She lifted her chin in a voice that was unlike usual, filled with a deep tone.
“Merlin?”
Aris frowned at Merlin.
“Why that madwoman?”
She shook her head as if she didn’t understand the situation.
“They’re probably targeting me too.”
Raon sat next to Aris and shook his head.
“Let’s end this situation for now.”
“It should be.”
When Aris waved his hand, the wind blew and pushed away the dust storm.
Whoa!
At first, Rektar did not move from the spot. The clothes were slightly scorched and torn, but there seemed to be no major damage.
However, there was a small wound on the right shoulder where Merlin stabbed him.
“The time of surprise attack and the sharpness of the blade. “It’s much better than before.”
Rektar looks this way. His eyes were cold, as if they would pierce my neck at any moment, but I also thought he looked proud. I thought I was crazy.
“And Merlin. “Is this surprise attack the will of Fallen Heaven?”
Rekrat turned his head to the right and looked at Merlin.
“No, I just came out because I was angry that you were taking Raon Sieghart with you.”
“One Transcendent and two Grand Masters…”
He nodded, wiping the blood dripping from his shoulder.
“It won’t be a bad thing even if it takes time.”
“Blood Sword Master.”
When Rektar was about to move again, a middle-aged man who appeared to be the person in charge of the Holy Sword Demons approached and whispered quietly.
“You must step down.”
“what?”
“Didn’t you tell me? “You must not bump into him now.”
The middle-aged man shook his head as he mentioned Ryeonju’s name.
“Tsk.”
Rektar clicked his tongue as if he didn’t like it and put his sword away.
“There will never be another opportunity like this.”
“Oh, you talk a lot.”
Aris frowned and shook her head.
“I heard that his grandfather is coming. “Why are you so hesitant when you’re running away?”
She frowned as if she knew right away who it was that she should not bump into.
“….”
Rektar did not answer her but turned his gaze to Raon. He made eye contact for a very brief moment and then disappeared.
“….”
Raon felt his heart pound as he remembered Rektar’s eyes, which were filled with nothing but coldness.
‘It’s clear.’
He wants to say something.
Even if Rektar was there because he really wanted to be in the Seonggeomryeon, he wanted to tell me something.
From the beginning, I felt like I had come to give warnings and teachings. And that’s the last lesson.
‘What on earth?’
* * *
Rektar followed the sword demons of the Holy Swordsman and stopped.
“Blood Sword Lord?”
“Let’s go and report first. “I will heal the wound and move.”
He shook his head, pointing to his ear, which suddenly started bleeding.
“Well, I understand.”
The middle-aged man nodded and led his men out of the forest first.
When Rektar touched his ear, sticky blood flowed down.
“As expected…”
“Master.”
As he smiled, Muston walked out from inside the forest.
“Are you okay?”
Mouston chewed his lip with clear eyes unlike before.
“What an incredible talent.”
Rektar wiped the blood flowing from his ear and muttered that Raon was amazing. For the first time, a smile like that was drawn.
“That’s not it, I asked Master if you were feeling okay.”
Mouston lowered his gaze with a gloomy expression, as if he knew the whole situation.
“….”
Rektar did not answer. I slowly lifted my gaze and looked at the clear sky.
“How can there be anything other than okay? “I just do it because it’s what I have to do.”
He sighed briefly.
“Still, it would be better to talk to Raon.”
“no.”
Rektar shook his head resolutely.
“If I intervene, that child’s light will fade. “I’m sick of regrets now. I’ll be content with just being able to watch your back.”
He smiled as if he had already made all the decisions.
“You said you would do anything for Raon, right?”
“That’s right.”
“Then follow me.”
Rektar grabbed Muston’s shoulder and lifted himself up.
“Today has opened the way, so the end will come soon.”
