Episode 636
Delphros let go of the crystal ball the moment Raon cut down the doppelganger Lord. The crystal ball, from which the mana had drained, lost its light and was immersed in darkness.
“How?”
The Great Lord Sabi slumped back as if his legs had lost strength.
“I drove through more than thirty barriers…”
He trembled his lips as if he couldn’t believe it, even though he saw Raon directly dealing with the doppelganger Lord.
“This doesn’t make sense!”
The Great Lord Sabi couldn’t hold back his anger and hit the floor with his fist. Because he was not unmanned, the skin on the back of his hand was torn and blood was flowing out.
“Whew…”
Delphros let out a short sigh as he looked at the black crystal ball.
“Ah…”
Archpriest Sabida seemed to have come to his senses at the sound of Delphros sighing and forced himself to stand up and lower his head.
“I’m sorry. “I did something for no reason…”
“Your plan was not wrong.”
Delphros calmly shook his head.
“The only problem was that Raon Sieghardt was a monster that exceeded your plans.”
The Doppelganger Lord’s power, strengthened by Lord Sabi, was powerful.
Although it would be difficult to maintain for a long time, it had the power to kill most humans who entered this tomb.
The reason this incident went wrong was all because of Raon Sieghardt’s ridiculous talent.
‘It’s stronger than expected. No, more than that…’
He’s getting stronger quickly.
I don’t know about Lord Sabi, but Raon Sieghart has now increased his original strength by dealing with the doppelganger Lord.
In this short period of time, we have made up for our shortcomings and strengthened our strengths.
‘He is truly a monster.’
I was able to clearly understand why he cared about a kid like Raon Sieghardt.
“How about blocking the road right now? It may be difficult in the long run, but we can stop it until the job is done…”
“No.”
Delphros shook his head resolutely.
“It’s meaningless.”
Raon Sieghard broke all the rules of each floor and came down to the 4th floor. It was better to control things directly than to have things happen behind the scenes.
“It’s the last floor anyway, so I’ll finish it myself.”
A strong yet heavy energy wave bloomed from beneath Delphros’ feet, drawing the shape of a water drop.
“And…”
Instead of leaving, he turned his gaze to the right corner. I lowered my eyebrows as I looked at the black eyes flickering in the gray fog.
“Send that thing down when the time comes.”
“All right.”
Lord Sabi just lowered his head as if he believed it.
“It is time to end everything and make a new beginning.”
Delphros smiled as if the scent of blood was flowing and disappeared into the darkness.
* * *
Raon opened his eyes after arriving at the fifth floor.
‘What is this place again?…’
It is a strange space.
As if a round light was shooting out of the sky, only the ground was lit, and everywhere was turned black, so there was no way out.
The space itself wasn’t that big, so it felt like it was tightly closed, like a sealed container.
Fortunately, there weren’t many people. If it had been a little narrower, I would have been suffocated.
Raon whetted his appetite as he looked at the ground filled with fine sand like a training ground.
‘The scent of comics has become stronger.’
I felt very close to the energy of Sieghart, the first head of the family who created this training center.
If I could interpret the barrier engraved by the first head of the family in a little more detail, it seemed like I could also remove the dark energy contained in Derus Robert.
Raon resonated with the ring of fire to increase his concentration. I interpreted the barrier embedded deep in the ground and looked at the people on the fifth floor.
‘There aren’t many numbers.’
Even though the space itself was small, the number of people on the fifth floor was less than thirty.
“….”
Most of the warriors were suffering from injuries big or small, and unlike the first floor, which was maintaining a moderate level of control, they were showing a very sharp spirit as if they were going to fight at any moment.
However, strangely enough, there were quite a few corpses that had already died. I looked to see if I could find them, but they had died a long time ago.
‘Luckily our kids aren’t here.’
When I saw the body, I started to worry about Gwangpungdae. It was time to move first and find the prosecutors.
“My lord!”
Dorian’s voice came from inside. I turned my attention to the place where the sound came from, and he came running towards me, his stomach pouch shaking.
-Oh oh! The king’s wallet! You’re safe!
Lars waved his round hand as if he was happy to see me.
“Dorian.”
Raon smiled slightly, looking at Dorian. Fortunately, he didn’t seem to have any injuries.
“Great Lord. “Are you serious?”
Dorian glanced at me and pursed his lips.
‘As expected…’
It seems that Dorian was also attacked by a doppelganger.
“I wandered through the snow all day and finally met someone, and it turned out to be the Great Lord. What a pleasure! So I said hello…”
“I did?”
“You are accepting me in a friendly way! “It’s so strange, isn’t it?”
Is that strange? What did I usually do?
He tilted his head and waved for Dorian to continue.
“It was strange, but I just ignored it. Even the fake great lord said that we should move first.”
Dorian took a long sip of his mouth.
“I jokingly asked, ‘I don’t think I need to train here, just in case.’
He frowned and spoke quickly.
“‘okay. It could be dangerous, so let’s take a break from training here.’ So I slapped him without even realizing it!”
“….”
Raon swallowed dry saliva.
“The guy who got hit in the face suddenly ran away in panic! “I tried to catch it, but it was too fast and I missed it!”
“…You recognized me through that?”
“There’s no way the Great Lord would tell you nonsense by telling you not to practice! “It’s definitely fake!”
Dorian shook his head, saying it could never happen.
“Ha…”
What does this guy think of me?
As I was shaking my head in bewilderment, I heard the sound of someone falling from behind. When I looked back, I saw a crane walking with its eyes wide open.
“My lord! “Are you serious?”
“….”
“No, the great lord did not practice while walking! Why don’t you do it? You’re saying bullshit that you have to go quickly because you’re worried about the kids! “I immediately realized it was fake and hit him in the back!”
Even though the crane was fake, it felt good and he smiled brightly.
“you also?”
“Yes, me too!”
Dorian and Crane suddenly clapped their hands above their heads.
Wow!
Raon clutched his temples as he listened to the cool ringing sound.
-Puhhehehe!
Lars held his stomach and burst into laughter.
-Didn’t the king tell you what he said? There is no difference between that ear piece and your image!
‘It’s noisy…’
Raon pushed Ras away and chewed his lip.
‘What happened to my reputation?’
As I was sighing, new people entered the space. Among them was a familiar face. Martha was a peerless beauty as long as she kept her mouth shut.
“Matta.”
“….”
Martha didn’t come right away, but frowned and snapped her fingers. Looking at the reaction, it seems that Marta also met her doppelganger.
“Did you see me too?”
“He was a very strange guy.”
Marta nodded, biting her lip. He was so surprised that he seemed to have forgotten how to be respectful.
“I was walking through a snowy field when you suddenly appeared. But…”
“But?”
“As soon as I met him, he was worried about the kids. It’s a little strange, but I follow along thinking it’s possible, but I just walk. “I didn’t even practice swordsmanship or footwork, I just did it!”
“…Why is that strange?”
“You always practice footwork or swordsmanship while walking!”
She bared her white teeth as she shouted, “That doesn’t make any sense.”
“It was so strange that I asked. Are you not practicing? So, do you know what it means?”
“What are they saying?”
“The kids are more important now! Does that make sense! Water training ghost!”
Martha twisted her mouth, saying that she immediately recognized that it was an enemy.
“So what did you do?”
“I stabbed you in the back!”
“You stabbed me?”
Raon swallowed dry saliva. I suddenly felt sorry for the doppelganger, who got stabbed while worrying about the kids.
“Because I caught that guy. “The road leading here has been opened.”
Martha shook her hands and said that after waiting for several hours, she came down through the door.
“As expected, you know the great lord very well!”
“How could you not know! “Honestly, you’re crazy!”
Raon closed his eyes tightly while listening to the conversation between the three people.
‘How on earth do I appear in their eyes?’
-What are you asking?
Lars scratched his stomach and shook his head.
-He’s crazy.
‘….’
* * *
After Martha, two more Gwangpungdae swordsmen came down, but no more came.
“Could there be some problem?”
Dorian bit his lip as if he was anxious.
“There is no way I would be fooled by a fake Daeju…”
Crane shook his head, saying that it made no sense to be fooled by a fake Raon since he was Gwangpungdae.
“Hmm…”
Raon leaned against the black wall with his arms crossed.
‘It’s not just us, the numbers are low overall.’
Not only the Gwangpungdae, but also the number of other Six Emperors and neutral forces were significantly low.
The space seemed to be divided because there was no way that people like Demon Demon Sword Master and the Six Apostles could not come down here.
“Let’s wait for now. Something must have happened…”
As Raon was trying to comfort the anxious prosecutors, a new light came on from the ceiling with a clicking sound.
Ride, ride!
The magic lights came on one after another, and the spaces that had been stained black revealed themselves one by one.
“uh?”
“lender!”
“Buren?”
“Sir!”
“There are kids over there too!”
Light came into dozens of spaces of the same type as where we were currently staying, forming one huge cavity.
It was larger than Sieghardt’s Great Hall, but because there were so many people, it seemed a little narrow.
“My lord!”
“You’re alive!”
“My lord! “I saw that fake master!”
Gwangpungdae approached with a happy face. Most people frowned, saying they saw me strangely.
“me too!”
Rimmer nodded with surprised eyes.
“No, when I asked to borrow money for gambling, they said they would lend it to me right away! He was crazy! “It was a little disappointing, but I knew it was fake.”
He sighed, saying he should have taken the money and killed him.
“me too. “Johnmot Raon said he doesn’t like mint chocolate.”
Runan quenched her appetite by saying that she cut down the fake Raon who hated mint chocolate.
“….”
Raon had a lot to say, but given the situation, he just kept quiet.
-Still, aren’t you glad?
Lars shook his head with his cheeks puffed out, as if he couldn’t hold back his laughter.
-Thanks to your crazy personality, there are few injuries!
‘…That’s right.’
Most of the forces already had dead bodies or seriously injured people, but in the Gwangpungdae, there were some who were slightly injured, but no one was seriously injured. Even if a battle broke out, it didn’t seem like there would be any major problems.
‘Oh my, you two are still alive and well.’
Unlike the Black Tower encountered in the 3rd floor maze, the Demon Sword Master and the 6 Apostles were not injured. The doppelganger’s offensive didn’t seem to work on those guys either.
However, the two who were allies were staring at each other as if they were going to kill each other.
‘Then the Public Prosecutor’s Office… hmm?’
Raon narrowed his eyes as he looked at the swordsman gathering from the northwest. Serena’s waist was covered in blood. It felt like I had been hit hard.
“this!”
Raon ran towards Serena.
“Lord Gonggeom!”
“Do not approach!”
The deputy commander of the engineering swordsman, who seemed to have been with Serena from the beginning, blocked the front with his hand on his sword.
“….”
Serena narrowed her eyes as she looked at me without saying anything.
“Hmm…”
Raon made cold eye contact with Serena and let out a short breath.
‘no way.’
Did they ambush me with my appearance?
Otherwise, the reaction of Serana and the head of the Public Prosecutor’s Office could not have been so cold.
“Gwangpungdaeju! “Stay back!”
The deputy commander of the Public Prosecutor’s Office pressed his lips with his white teeth as if he was prepared for battle.
“stop.”
Serena came forward and bit the deputy leader of the Public Prosecutor’s Office.
“lender!”
“It’s not that guy.”
She sighed and shook her head.
“Looking at your eyes. okay. “That wasn’t Raon.”
“Have you met me?”
Raon narrowed his eyes as he looked at Serena’s wounds.
“okay. “I met a guy with the same looks, temperament, and voice as you.”
Serena raised her eyes slightly and sighed.
“I was moving to find an exit, but you ambushed me from behind.”
“….”
“After barely avoiding the critical point, I tried to counterattack, but it jumped right away.”
She shook her head with a calm expression, as if she was not hurt.
“No matter how much I thought about what your intentions were, I couldn’t come up with an answer, but now I understand. “It wasn’t you.”
Serena smiled slightly with confident eyes.
“How can you be sure?”
“Because I’ve seen you since you were young.”
She smiled slightly.
“I told you. “I was trying to bring you to the public prosecutor’s office from the beginning.”
“Um…”
“And look over there.”
Serena pointed to the wall on the other side. The wizards of the Balkar Kingdom were glaring at us as if they were going to kill us.
“I thought it was strange that since we came here, they have been glaring at us like enemies, but it seems like we are getting some answers.”
“Um…”
“Same thing. “They were probably attacked by guys that looked like us.”
After listening to her, I looked around the entire place again.
“You ungrateful bastards!”
“Who would say that! “How dare you aim at the back?”
“Who were you targeting?”
“This sword mark left on the body of our unit leader! “It’s the swordsmanship of your Paerangmun!”
“You’re carrying out a surprise attack! “You cowards!”
It was as if the powers that had originally formed an alliance or had a cooperative relationship were going to fight with each other, showing their fierce intensity.
There were some people, like Serena, who thought this situation was strange, but most of them seemed to be caught up in the atmosphere and showed their emotions.
Raon chewed his lip as he read the increasingly cold atmosphere on the 5th floor.
‘Did you aim for this?’
I thought their goal was to kill people with doppelgängers, but now I see that their real intention seems to be division between factions.
‘I wondered why there was a corpse…’
I thought it was strange that there was a corpse in a place where only the living could come down, but there was a reason.
‘Because a master can tell who killed someone just by looking at the corpse.’
It was clear that the plan was to use the marks on the corpse to divide the allied forces more quickly.
I was amazed at Derus’ viciousness in causing division in this way.
Raon clenched his fists as the momentum of the people stretched tighter and tighter, like a rubber band.
‘However, the division of this place is probably not his final goal. What Derus really wants….’
It must be war.
If the corpses of all those who came here are manipulated and sent out, the Six Emperors, Oma, and the entire neutral forces will be engulfed in the flames of war.
Derus’ purpose seemed clear: a continental war.
“OK! good night! “I’ll kill you all first!”
“Who cares!”
The neutral forces, the White Eyes Swordsman and the Blue Swordsman, aimed their weapons at each other.
“Kill!”
“Smear it all away!”
“for a moment.”
Raon intervened between the two forces that were trying to attack each other. The only thing that could prevent the situation here was myself, who had caught the doppelganger himself.
“Please listen to my story.”
“Who are you?”
“You walk around without even opening your eyes! “It’s Raon Sieghart, the dragon slayer!”
A middle-aged man who appeared to be the head of the White Eyes Sword Family cursed at the head of the Blue Blade.
“Well, I’ve heard a lot about the great name of Great Lord Gwangpung. “I would like to say hello, but now is not a good time.”
The White Eyed Swordsman shook his head and tightened his grip on the red-flaming sword.
“That’s right. “Get out of the way, because we have to cut off the heads of those charlatans too!”
The blue sword master also exposed his teeth and created a blue aura on the sword.
“Because of that.”
Raon put aura into his voice so that everyone could hear. His low voice broke through the cold atmosphere and spread throughout the cavity.
“I was in the snowy field on the 4th floor…”
I was trying to explain what had happened so far. In the north, where it had been dark, a magic light came on and space opened up.
The figure of a middle-aged man wearing white robes appeared on a golden chair that rose like the throne on which the emperor sits. The short blonde hair exuded nobility and military-like stoicism.
‘That guy…’
Raon chewed his lip as he watched the middle-aged man elegantly lifting his teacup.
‘Is it Delphros?’
Although his face was a little old, that noble impression was still there.
Unlike the Shadow, who was in charge of assassinations, information collection and theft, it was clearly Delphros, one of Derus Robert’s assault leaders, who directly used force.
‘That guy was in charge of this place.’
As I was looking at Delphros, he also looked this way and narrowed his eyes.
“who are you!”
“What are you doing!”
“Come down now!”
The warriors and wizards were the first to raise their voices as if they felt pressured by Delphros.
“I am the owner of this tomb.”
Delphros nodded lightly.
“Owner of the Mu Tomb?”
“Then you are Sword Zone?”
“Such nonsense….”
“Ah, let me explain again. “It means that he is the owner who found the tomb of Sword Zone first.”
He smiled faintly.
“Believe that…”
“Would you believe this?”
Delphros pulled out two thick books out of thin air.
The red-colored booklet had “Demon Demon Fighting Method” written on it, and the shiny blue book had “Yam Sword-Gyeol” written on it.
Both were written in a font that resembled the spirit of a warrior who seemed ready to take off at any moment.
“If it’s the Demon Demon Sword and the True Demon Sword….”
“It’s the martial arts of the Sword Zone!”
“It was really Sword Zone’s tomb…”
“If only that was there…”
The warriors, who had been showing their malicious intent towards each other, swallowed dryly as they looked at the book of martial arts in Delphros’ hand.
“Do you want this?”
No one answered Delphros’ question, but everyone’s eyes were filled with greed and desire. It was a deep and deep desire that if only they had that, they could rise to the same level as Sword Zone.
“good. gist.”
He chuckled and waved the booklet.
“You’re giving me a share?”
“That uneducated book?’
“But there is a condition.”
Delphros’ eerie gaze fell on Raon.
“I will hand over both books to whoever kills him.”
At that moment, hundreds of eyes on the 5th floor turned to Raon. A swarm of fireflies on the dark lakeside seemed to take flight at the same time.
“How do we know it’s real!”
“that’s right! “Just by bringing you here, I can see your intentions!”
The white-eyed sword matriarch and the blue sword matriarch who were fighting each other screamed at the same time.
“there.”
Delphros gestured to a middle-aged man dressed as a civil servant standing on the far left. It was a soldier belonging to the Owen Knights who came late.
“You’re Krassel, the master swordsman, right?”
“…That’s right.”
Krasel lifted his gaze and nodded.
“You can see for yourself that the history and interpretation of martial arts is second to none.”
“….”
Krasel looked at his colleagues and slowly climbed up to the platform where Delphros was.
“Take it.”
Delphros seemed confident and threw a magic weapon.
“Hmm…”
Krasel rolled his eyes quickly as he deployed his magic magic on the spot. Gradually, his complexion hardened and cold sweat began to trickle down his cheeks.
“Really…”
Krasel nodded, unable to take his eyes off the Demonic Swordsmanship.
“The book itself is hundreds of years old and has not been modified anywhere. “I don’t see anything strange in the content either!”
Even though he couldn’t read it all, he trembled and said that it really seemed like the magic magic method was correct.
“It must have been roughly proven.”
Delphros snapped his finger, and the magic weapon held in Krasel’s hand was sucked back into his hand.
“The person who killed that guy is the new Sword Zone!”
When Delphros threw the Magical Sword and Yam Blade, a round aura screen was formed, levitating the two booklets in the air.
“Uhm….”
“Keuhum!”
The White-Eyed Swordsman and the Blue Swordman took a step back and readied their weapons. It had a cool look in its eyes, as if it would attack at any moment if it found an opportunity.
“Huh…”
Raon looked around while touching the Jecheon Sword’s swordsman.
‘This is my first time receiving this kind of attention.’
The heart of hundreds of people possessed by the devil called desire is oppressing them.
A feeling of greater tension filled my whole body than when I was surrounded by Oma guys.
But I wasn’t afraid. This was Sieghardt’s land, and the will of the ancestors who founded this land was with me.
“I heard that when the owner is not around, the dog acts as the owner.”
Raon rolled up the corners of his mouth and tilted his chin.
“I need to tie his leash again.”
“What nonsense are you talking about?”
Delphros leaned forward and frowned.
“Stop pretending to be the owner of my land, you mutt.”
“My land?”
He burst into laughter with his hand on his forehead.
“Since when did this become Sieghardt’s land? Here…”
“From the moment I came.”
Raon stepped on the left foot. The ground splits with a thud.
Golden flames that seemed to contain starlight spread out to the four directions, drawing a flowing line.
Hwaaaaa!
The flames burning with a thick haze set up a fiery sword resembling Sieghardt’s symbol on the yellow earth.
“What the hell!”
“What sparks!”
“Ouch! Oh, there’s an Auror on board!”
“Get back!”
The slaves of desire, who seemed ready to rush at any moment, took a step back in horror.
“Gwangpungdae. Open the way.”
“I follow your orders!”
Gwangpungdae stood to the left and right of Raon, giving a silent answer.
The warriors swallowed dry saliva and put their weapons back at the frost-like momentum they created.
“Come down. “You bastard.”
A red glow appeared in Raon’s eyes. He stood on the ground, looking down at the throne, and pondered.
“That’s not your place.”
