Chapter 644
The swordsman who split the space was Aris, and the one who raised the blue sword in the sky was the sword demon Rektar.
The powerful sword strike unleashed by the two transcendents turned into light and collided with the blade containing death.
Whoops!
However, perhaps because they moved too urgently, Aris and Rektar’s sword strikes were unable to completely erase the flow of death.
Phudduddduk.
Raon gritted his teeth. I felt death crushing my ribs.
Just when I thought it was all over, the flow of the window suddenly stopped. It was only a moment, but it felt like time had stopped.
Oh my!
Aris, who tore up the space and rushed forward, and Rektar, who rushed like a thunderbolt from the air, crushed the stopped black blade.
Whoa!
The energy containing death dissolved into a dark light as if it had never existed from the beginning.
Blood profit!
The moment the black energy was about to sink to the ground, Raon threw a piece of the sword sheath floating in the air to the floor.
The piece of the diamond-shaped scabbard was stained black as if it had been painted with ink.
“Raon!”
As soon as Raon picked up the fallen piece of the sword sheath, Aris threw herself behind him, hugging him tightly.
“I might come back! Everyone bow down!”
She chewed her lips, forming a thick film. An urgent face I’ve never seen before. It was an expression I had never seen before when dealing with the bright dragon Kaibar.
“Oh, Aris?”
“What is this all of a sudden….”
“Huh?”
Burren and Marta Runan widened their eyes in embarrassment. Even the master level didn’t know what had just happened.
“Everyone get back!”
“Keep your head down and hide behind a tree or rock!”
Only Grand Master Rimer and Serena realized that the situation was critical and pulled the Gwangpungdae and the Swordsman Corps back.
“….”
Sword Demon Rektar didn’t even look back. Standing in the first place, a chill was felt that sent shivers down my spine.
“don’t worry. “I will protect you even if it means risking my life.”
Aris bit her lip. Her embrace was unwavering and warm, as if trying to erase my anxiety. It really seemed like it contained the will to protect no matter what.
-Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure….
Lars let out a deep moan while holding his head.
‘Did you stop the black blade?’
-That’s right.
The guy nodded weakly.
‘why?’
Since Ras is now a parasitic spirit body, he must break the law of causality in order to use physical power.
It was strange because although I developed a close relationship with Lars, there was no reason for him to save me even though he suffered great damage to both my physical body and my spiritual body.
-Because I was pissed.
‘what?’
-Even if you are in a spirit form, you are an arrogant bastard to avoid the senses of the real king! If I had a body, I would have beaten you to death right away!
Lars clicked his tongue as if he was disappointed. It seemed like he was angry at me for avoiding the presence of someone who knew everything.
-Don’t even think about going looking for you. He’s a strong guy.
‘I know.’
Raon nodded calmly.
-You know? Could it be that they are acquaintances?
‘okay. There’s no way you wouldn’t know.’
The corners of his mouth twitched as he looked at the blackened piece of the sword sheath.
‘Because the only one who can use the undercurrent is Derus.’
The black blade containing death was an Auror named Amryu, one of Derus Robert’s true powers.
In fact, even if it wasn’t an undercurrent, Derus could be predicted. Because Derus is the only transcendental person who attacks me from an unseen place.
‘But…’
His behavior was beyond my expectations.
I thought Derus would not come here under any circumstances, and even if he did, he would never attack.
But Derus appeared here and fired an undercurrent of light at me. It meant that the person who was thought to be as cold as a machine was also human.
‘Derus Robert.’
Raon twisted his mouth as he glared in the direction where Derus was expected to be.
‘It’s finally starting to show its tail.’
***
My dry lips trembled as I looked at Raon who had disappeared through the gap in the space called Cuba. She swallowed dry saliva and turned her eyes to Derus.
“Why are Aris Sieghardt and the Sword Demon here?…”
“It’s truly a coincidence.”
Derus Robert was not angry, but instead smiled faintly.
“I knew that Aris Sieghart and the Sword Demon were hiding. I thought I could kill Raon Sieghardt before those two came. “But…”
he continued, looking at Raon in Aris’s arms.
“The reason Raon Sieghardt survived was purely thanks to his own power. “I bought a moment of time by breaking the sword sheath.”
“Ah…”
“That moment saved his life. “But there are a few strange things.”
“If there’s anything strange… Ah!”
Kubara looked towards Sword Zone’s grave and raised her eyes. As Derus said, there was one strange thing.
“You are talking about Sword Demon Rektar.”
“It is entirely possible that Aris Sieghardt cares about Raon Sieghardt. Risking one’s life like this is unexpected, but understandable.”
Derus narrowed his eyes as he looked at Rektar.
“On the other hand, the Sword Demon’s reaction is strange. Even if he gave Raon a little lesson, he was a clear enemy and seemed more urgent than Aris Sieghardt.”
He stroked his chin and shook his head.
“There may be another relationship between Raon Sieghart and the Sword Demon Rektar who left the Six Emperors.”
“I will investigate.”
Kubara understood what Derus meant and immediately nodded.
“one more.”
Derus waved his finger at Kubara.
“At the end, Raon’s body also had a strange reaction. “Research everything about Raon Sieghardt’s life again.”
“All right.”
Even though there was already a mountain of information about Raon, Kubara nodded without hesitation.
“Go first. “The direction must have already been read.”
“yes.”
She answered immediately and sank into Derus’ shadow.
“When ‘she’ said there was someone who would block my path, of course I thought of Glenn Sieghardt. But…”
Derus turned his back and narrowed his eyes. He looked down at Raon with eyes filled with both anger and joy and drew a dry smile.
“Maybe that’s you.”
Before the low voices could be heard, only a cold wind remained on the mountainside where the two people were staying.
***
-Now he has definitely left.
Lars held his temples and frowned.
– Damn it! My pride is hurt.
The guy repeated the same thing, saying that if he had been healthy, he would have run right away.
‘okay. ‘I guess so.’
Raon nodded, patting Lars’ reddened head.
‘Derus Robert.’
How strong have you become?
Even if Lars is not the main body, his senses far exceed my own.
Even Ras couldn’t even catch Derus’ existence until he attacked. It seemed like Derus had grown beyond my imagination.
“aunt. “It’ll be okay now.”
Raon sighed briefly and grabbed Aris’ shoulder.
“hmm?”
Aris widened her eyes as if wondering what he was talking about.
“If you see that they made a surprise attack from afar, it means they don’t want to reveal their identity, so they won’t come any more.”
“I know, but…”
She nodded briefly, probably because she had expected it too.
“He must have already run away. “You can relax.”
Raon laughed and stood up.
“What on earth is going on?”
“What happened!”
“enemy?”
Buren and Marta Runan realized that the situation was over and came running. Not only them, but the entire Gwangpungdae had bewilderment in their eyes.
“There was an attack.”
Serena furrowed her brows as she looked in the direction the black blade came from.
“A raid?”
Dorian came out of the sofa he was hiding in and his eyes widened.
“okay. “I don’t know who it is, but they were targeting Raon.”
Rimmer looked this way and chewed his lip. He seemed upset that he couldn’t stop it himself.
“I had no idea.”
“Damn it!”
“Hmm…”
Buren and Marta Runan also clenched their fists as if they were angry that they couldn’t do anything.
“He was such an expert that even I could barely recognize him. “If I hadn’t prepared in advance, I would have missed it.”
Aris shook his head at the three leaders, telling them not to blame themselves.
“He is the strongest among transcendents. Maybe I can reach my father…”
“You mean I can reach the head of the family?”
“okay.”
She sighed, saying it was hard to believe, but it was possible.
“I don’t know what kind of guy he is. “It was a type of auror I had never seen before.”
Rimmer frowned as if he could not predict the opponent.
“Super transcendent?”
“Why is the Transcendent Raon…”
Cold sweat ran down the bridge of Buren and Marta’s noses.
“Maybe it’s because I ruined the plan.”
Raon laughed, pointing to the entrance to the black shimmering tomb.
“You ruined the plan?”
Aris quickly looked away as if asking what he was saying.
“That place was not a tomb. There were countless devices installed to cause the Six Emperors and neutral forces to start a war. “Over there…”
Raon briefly explained the tomb to Aris.
“…The plan that required an astronomical amount of manpower and resources was ruined, so it seems like the head of the force that created the plan tried to kill me.”
“Well, definitely…”
“I guess that’s right.”
Serena and Rimmer also nodded in agreement.
“Who the hell came up with that plan?”
Aris glared at where the blade came from and swept the side of her head.
“There is no one like that even in the Six Emperors Demon. “No, even if they don’t exist, their names are all known.”
She frowned, saying she had seen all the owners of the Six Emperor Five Demons, but there was no one like him.
“I don’t know either. However…”
Raon smiled slightly as he looked at the fragment of the sword sheath containing Derus’ undercurrent.
“You won’t be able to hide until the end.”
The fact that Derus deviated from my predictions is not necessarily a bad thing.
Since his aura was revealed, it became not impossible to later make the Heavenly Sword Saint Derus Robert and the evil Derus Robert, who committed many evil deeds in the shadows, the same person.
The greatest harvest today may not have been Sword Zone’s martial arts skills, but the revelation of Derus’s undercurrents.
“Anyway, I guess it’s really over.”
Aris nodded, looking at the quiet forest.
“Just in case, it would be better to get out of here quickly, but before that.”
She took a quick bite and looked at Sword Demon Rektar.
“Why did the inspiration come? “Why did you stop me?”
Aris said she did not understand and looked at the Sword Demon with sinking eyes.
“So…”
Rektar slowly turned around. He was so calm that he showed cold eyes.
“Are you dissatisfied?”
“no.”
Aris calmly shook her head.
“Thank you. If it weren’t for inspiration, Raon wouldn’t have been able to be saved. “It was moving so fast that I couldn’t control it.”
As is her usual personality, she honestly admitted her shortcomings.
“Thank you, but I don’t understand. Why did you save Raon? “What is your intention?”
“….”
Raon nodded briefly, looking at Rektar’s dry complexion.
‘That’s true.’
Unlike Aris, Rektar never had to save me even though he was injured himself.
“I only saved that child because if he dies, his legacy in the grave will disappear.”
Rektar gave a cold, cold look in his eyes.
“How did you know that?”
“It’s strange that they don’t know what they’re talking about.”
He pointed to the neutral forces’ warriors who came out with the Gwangpungdae. I felt like I heard what was going on inside through their chatter.
“Uhm….”
“I’m sorry.”
The neutral forces’ warriors lowered their heads as if they had nothing to say.
“That was the only reason.”
Rektar’s sword vibrated slightly as if it wanted blood at any moment.
“Hmm…”
Raon groaned as he looked at Rektar’s dried-up eyes.
‘It doesn’t make sense.’
The Seonggeomryeon is a group that is crazy about swords and swordsmanship, and the Sword Demon is no different, so it is not strange at all.
However, the look in the Sword Demon’s eyes today revealed an urgency that went beyond that reason. It felt like I was lying.
“I can’t believe it, but…”
Aris tilted her head, saying it was strange.
“There’s no need to pry.”
“….”
Rektar maintained his cold expression as if it didn’t matter what happened.
“So, are you saying we’re going to give it a try to take away Sword Zone’s legacy?”
“Isn’t it obvious?”
He raised his sword above his eyes as if he wanted to see the end immediately. It seemed as if a human had been transformed into a sword.
“Crazy old man.”
Aris furrowed her brows and raised her sword to its middle point. As the space sword flowed, the space around her shimmered like a haze.
Coo coo coo coo!
It was when Aris and Rektar were about to stab their swords into each other’s hearts.
Pudddeuk!
The teeth of the blades the two people were holding were twisted at the same time. It was the exact area that blocked Derus’ attack.
“….”
“….”
Aris and Rektar looked at each other’s swords and relaxed their stances.
“There are transcendental beings whose identity I don’t know, so I don’t think today is the right time.”
“I agree.”
When Rektar nodded, the warriors of the Holy Swordsman who were hiding behind him approached.
“Raon Sieghardt. “Before I go, I just want to ask you two questions.”
“Please speak.”
Raon nodded towards Rektar, who seemed to be looking at others.
“Is the demon sword master dead?”
“yes.”
“One more thing, is it true that you really got the sword zone’s martial arts skills?”
“yes.”
“It seems that breaking the sword sheath is one of Sword Zone’s arts.”
“That’s right.”
There was no point in lying, so I nodded.
“Right.”
Rektar nodded calmly with an unreadable expression and then turned his back without hesitation.
“I won’t be seeing you off.”
Aris waved her hand as if telling her to go quickly.
Raon looked at Rektar, who was slowly retreating, and then his eyes widened. A familiar face caught my eye behind him.
“Muston!”
It was Muston, Rektar’s disciple.
“….”
When I called his name, Muston shrugged his shoulders and turned his back.
“come here!”
Muston’s soul is in bondage to me due to the emotion of < jealousy >. If you ask him, you may be able to find out Rektar’s true meaning.
“That can’t be possible.”
However, Muston refused my orders. He looked at me with calm eyes and followed behind Rektar.
‘what?’
Muston’s eyes were transparent, and the spirit of < jealousy > that was suffocating him still remained. I don’t know why a being with a bound soul would ignore my words.
-The reason is simple.
Lars snorted as if it was no big deal.
-The reason your subordinate, who has pledged his soul to you, does not listen to you is because he thinks his current actions will help you.
‘Then it couldn’t be…’
Raon swallowed dryly as he looked at Rektar’s back in front of Muston.
