Chapter 756
‘That…’
Raon swallowed dryly as he looked at the human shape rising from Marangun’s corpse.
‘The Lord of the Black Tower?’
That strange fog was definitely on a different level from Marangun. I felt like my soul was being oppressed by darkness.
‘This necklace…’
Raon chewed her lip as she looked at the black and white bead necklace on the table.
‘Was it that important?’
I had no idea that someone as high as the Lord of the Black Tower would care about such trivial transactions. It seems that this necklace brought by the White Ghost Swordmaster was a more valuable artifact than expected.
‘Then this might be a lifeline.’
If the Black Tower owner really came after this bead necklace, he could make a deal that would risk his life.
I left the Seongmu Sword and the Changra Sword and grabbed only the bead necklace where the black and white fog competed.
“Raon.”
Rimmer’s fingertips trembled and completely blocked the way forward.
“Never come forward!”
He let out a thick breath, saying that he would protect me no matter what.
“Sir…”
-Hmm….
While Raon was looking at Rimmer’s back, who seemed prepared for death, Lars briefly took a bite.
-I’m sorry to say this to you, but that’s not real.
‘It’s not real?’
-I just used the demon energy of that idiot who was ambushed by you to manifest an alter ego.
Lars snorted, saying it wasn’t real, it was just an alter ego.
-But that guy’s magic…
he frowned deeply as if he felt something.
‘Impersonation…?’
An alter ego?
Raon repeated Lars’ words to himself and looked at the black fog taking on the form of a human.
‘Sure….’
The energy is low.
The level of the Black Tower’s soul was so great that it could crush the space itself, but the magical energy that was actually felt was not that great.
As Ras said, there seemed to be a limit to the use of Maranggun’s magic energy.
‘Then if I consume all that magical energy, that clone will disappear?’
Since the Black Tower Lord emerged using Marangun’s demonic energy, it seemed that the moment all that demonic energy disappeared, the Black Tower Lord’s descent would be released.
-of course.
Lars nodded calmly.
-Don’t parasites also leave their hosts when they run out of food?
‘Then it’s worth a try.’
After thinking about the current situation in the Five Hwanggoma and the personality and movements of the Black Tower Master that I had heard about from Derus and the Holy Sword Master, I came up with one answer that would allow him to survive.
‘Let’s stay calm.’
Just as they say that even if you are bitten by a tiger, you can survive if you keep your wits about you, if you use your head and mouth well, you will be able to escape this crisis.
As Raon stabilized his breathing, an eerie eye light flashed in the black fog. Just looking into those eyes gave me goosebumps all over my body.
“Raon Sieghardt.”
The Black Tower lord, enveloped in black fog, looked at Raon, not Rimmer, and let out a dry voice.
“It’s you again.”
Strangely, his voice seemed to come into my head rather than my ears.
“If you don’t want to suffer even after death, give up your black and white landlord.”
The Black Top Master moved his fingertips, asking for Raon’s bead necklace.
“Ha, what bullshit.”
Rimmer shook his head, his chin shaking.
“It’s our lifeline, so what are you giving us? “Never pass up Raon!”
He lowered his eyebrows as if he realized that the necklace was important.
“Then I can just kill you two and take it.”
Jet-black demonic energy blazed and burned in the hands of the Black Tower Master. I felt a heat that seemed to melt everything.
Raon withstood the murderous intent of the Black Tower Master and placed his hand on the blade of the Jecheon Sword.
‘That’s a bluff.’
A true Black Tower lord could kill himself and Rimmer with just a look, but what is in front of him right now is just an alter ego created with demonic energy.
I couldn’t win, but I didn’t think I would lose either.
Jerk.
After organizing his thoughts in his head, Raon moved forward without hesitation.
“Raon!”
Rimmer was scared and grabbed his shoulder, blocking the way.
“What are you doing now!”
“it’s okay.”
Raon showed a peaceful smile towards Rimmer.
“Hmm…”
Rimmer hesitated for a moment, as if embarrassed by Raon’s sunken gaze, and then moved out of the way.
“Black Tower Lord.”
Raon stopped ten steps away from the Black Tower.
“How long will this guy who is like cotton candy fly away when he blows only brag?”
I waved a necklace called the Black and White Pillar towards the Black Tower Pillar wrapped in fog.
Whoa!
When the black tower holder lifted his chin, the burning flames burst out from his grasp and enveloped the black and white holder.
“I thought so.”
Raon chewed his lips and used the Changgung Sword with his feet.
Blue frost rose from the tip of the sword and cut through the flames of darkness.
Ugh!
The fire caused by the black tower eventually dispersed without reaching the black and white pole.
‘Ugh…’
Raon forcibly put strength on his wrist, which felt like it might break.
‘I can’t believe that such power can be achieved with that level of
magic power…’ As if it were not for nothing, the Black Tower Master created a flame of power that overwhelmed his own power with a small amount of magic energy.
It felt like if I let my guard down even a little, I would be reduced to ashes in an instant.
‘Still, it’s worth holding on to.’
Because he won’t be able to use all that magic power.
The purpose of the black tower owner is not to take revenge on Maranggun, but to take care of the black and white landlords.
In order to move that necklace to where the main body was, I had to use my psychology of conserving strength.
Whoa!
The Black Tower Master’s body suddenly disappeared and emerged from its shadow. It was like a completely new concept of power that went beyond magic or martial arts.
Chiri riri ring!
Raon tilted the blades of his Jecheon Sword and Requiem Sword to block the Black Tower’s offensive and retreated.
However, its strength was so strong that it broke the wall of the observatory and flew out.
“It’s your last chance.”
The Black Tower lord stopped and flicked his finger made of fog.
“Give me the black and white holdings.”
“The chances are shit.”
Raon wiped away the blood flowing from the corner of his mouth and laughed.
“You’re not real.”
He lifted his chin and flicked the black and white pole with his fingers.
“You mean it’s not real?”
Rimmer narrowed his eyes as if asking what he was saying.
“If that was really the Black Tower Lord, we would have been dead already. What we have in front of us now is the alter ego of the Black Pagoda Master, made with the demonic power of Marangun.”
Raon curled his lips as he revealed the secret of the Black Tower owner.
“Because it is such a monster, it can demonstrate transcendental power with just that level of magic power, but if you look closely, its energy is being consumed quickly.”
“Ah…”
Rimmer also widened his eyes as if he felt the Black Tower Master’s magical energy decreasing.
“He’s a quick-witted guy.”
The Black Top Master let out a low breath without being the least bit embarrassed.
“As you said, this body is not mine. “It’s just…”
I was irritated by his cracked voice.
“Do you know that you can bring the main body here if you take the loss?”
The Black Tower lord showed a creepy look in his eyes as if he were about to manifest his true self right now.
“….”
Raon forced himself to maintain a relaxed expression. He pressed down his heart, which was about to beat violently, with a ring of fire and called out to Lars.
‘Is that true?’
-It won’t be a lie.
Ras narrowed his eyes at the Black Tower lord.
-It is not impossible for demons to change the location of the alter ego and the main body, or to make the main body descend immediately. If we accept the evaporation of demon energy as that guy said, it is entirely possible.
The guy nodded as if he regarded the Black Tower Lord as a demon.
‘I should have said that sooner!’
– Heng! Why must this King do that!
Lars grinned, wagging his tail as if he was having fun.
-Let the real king descend quickly! I’ll freeze those clones right away.
The guy waved his hand, saying that he wanted to eat beaded ice cream for the first time in a long time.
‘Damn it…’
If you bring up the Devil’s Descent, transcendence will be far away. This time, he had to take matters into his own hands.
‘First of all, we have to stop him from getting the main body…’
If the real Black Tower Lord descends, not only will he die, but he will die as well. No, every human in this Holam might die. That much had to be prevented.
‘But how?’
As Raon was quickly thinking, the words of Lars and the Blacktop Lord came to mind at the same time.
‘loss?’
Both said they had to bear the loss.
‘Is that guy really willing to take the loss to come here?’
The Holy Sword Master said that the Black Tower Master was collecting artifacts to become stronger.
If the profits from black and white landowners are great, they will accept the loss and descend.
‘But…’
If you suffer greater losses than gaining the artifact, you won’t come.
Currently, Oma has suffered great damage from Glenn and has gone into hiding to avoid the presence of O-Hwang. I had to use that part.
‘Las.’
-Why are you calling me?
‘That guy can’t use his main power right now, right? The feeling of energy would also have diminished.’
– Didn’t I tell you? They say they can only use the level of magic they have.
Lars wrinkled his nose, asking how many times he said that.
‘Then there is a way.’
Raon polarized the ring of fire.
After calming my mind like I did when training in the training hall, I twisted my mouth.
“try.”
He told me to try as much as I could and snapped his fingers.
“Do you think I can’t do it?”
Anger filled the Black Tower’s blurred pupils. His energy rapidly increased and the entire arena began to shake.
“You can do it. But are you really going to do it?”
Raon still tilted his chin with a relaxed expression.
“Do you know who is behind me?”
“It doesn’t matter who is there.”
The Black Tower lord sneered.
“Because I can kill you and retreat at any time.”
“What if your soul is cut?”
Raon laughed at the Black Tower owner and lowered his hand.
“what?”
“This mission is the first I have undertaken since becoming Sieghardt’s direct descendant. “It’s a place to test your attitude, strength, and strategy as a direct lineage.”
He chewed his tongue and nodded, resisting the strong energy waves of the Black Tower Master.
-Yes, what are you going to say again…
Lars blinked quickly as if he felt uneasy.
“There is a test tube for a test.”
Raon curled his lips as he looked at the Black Tower’s eyes that were starting to shake.
“Then who is behind me?”
Raon said that and pointed to the sky.
“No way…”
The Black Tower owner stepped back, his lips quivering. His momentum began to decline rapidly.
“It’s Glenn Sieghart!”
“….”
Raon smiled lightly without answering.
“If I send just one signal, the heart sword will fly and split your soul.”
Anyone who came to the war against the North-South Alliance or Uriel would know that Glenn could not use the Heart Sword carelessly, but since the Blacktop Master was not there, it seemed like he was taken advantage of more easily.
-Oh, no!
Lars waved his round hand.
-This Yamseng guy from the Elyos clan is yelling at me again! There is nothing behind or up!
The guy screamed absolutely no, but of course the Black Tower owner didn’t hear him.
“Yes, you… um?”
The Black Tower Master’s eyes, which were quickly scanning the surroundings, stopped in front of Rimmer.
“It was a lie. “I don’t think that elf knows anything at all.”
The Black Tower lord let out a low breath as he looked at Rimmer’s frozen face.
-Finally, there’s someone who recognizes Yamsaeng’s lies!
Lars smiled and nodded.
-There are all sorts of things that the ear-wipe guy can help with!
The guy patted Rimmer on the shoulder, offering to compliment him.
‘There is no need to talk nonsense here.’
The more words there are, the more gaps appear and the more doubts there are. Now was the time to come out stronger.
“So, if you don’t believe me, call the main body?”
Raon looked at the Black Tower owner and lowered his eyebrows.
“Let’s consider whether your descent will be faster or the matriarch’s sword will be faster.”
Contrary to the anxiety overflowing in his mind, he nodded with a calm expression on his face.
“Hmm…”
Black Top Master chewed his lip as he looked at Raon leisurely, as if drinking tea.
‘What is this guy?’
There was not the slightest shadow on Raon Sieghardt’s expression, and his heart did not beat quickly. It wasn’t a bluff; it seemed like the truth.
In particular, unlike Rimmer, that guy was not embarrassed by his own appearance and showed composure, so I thought it was not a lie.
Lastly, I didn’t think Raon Sieghardt, who was said to be the continent’s greatest talent, would be that good at lying.
“It would be quite a shock to be hit by an alter ego, but what would happen if the main body’s soul was torn apart?”
Raon clapped his hands lightly, saying that they should gamble with each other’s lives.
“Hmm…”
The Black Tower owner slowly stepped back.
‘You shouldn’t suffer now.’
If you fall victim to Glenn’s mind sword, all the soul level and magic energy you have built up by collecting artifacts will be in vain.
I had to be patient until ‘it’ was completed.
“Raon Sieghardt. “I will definitely kill you.”
The Black Tower owner’s cold eyes flashed as if he was engraving Raon’s face in his mind. He appeared in the fog as if he was going to disappear like this.
-Ugh!
Lars grabbed his hair and shook it.
-you idiot! You’ve already come, why are you going back? I can dig it now!
The guy screamed and said that he was just a guy with a head full of stones.
“Where are you going?”
“what?”
The Black Tower owner, who was melting in the fog, frowned.
“What do you mean?”
“Why do you think I told you that the head of the family was there?”
Raon looked at the Black Tower Lord and swung his sword.
“If I had stayed quiet, I would have seen you get beaten up and kicked out, so why do you think I told you?”
“….”
“If something goes, something comes.” “If you open a way for me to escape, should I give you something?”
He snapped his fingers while saying that.
-uh…?
Lars blinked at Raon.
-Yes, are you going to take a bribe now?
The guy trembled his chin as if it was absurd.
“Give me something. Otherwise…”
Raon aimed his sword at the sky as if to send a signal.
“Because the matriarch will come down.”
“Ugh.”
The Black Tower Lord’s eyes moved back and forth between heaven and earth as if they were jumping.
“You arrogant…”
“Call me?”
“Keueuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…..
”
“Now, wait!”
“Tick tock.”
When Raon snapped his teeth, red flames began to burn with the sword of Jecheon Sword.
-Hey, that’s disgusting!
Lars’s hands were shaking.
-It’s so obnoxious that I want to rip my cheek off!
“Damn you!”
The Black Tower lord seemed to have the same thoughts as Lars, biting his tongue before throwing a black booklet out of the fog. It was a swordsmanship book called Black Thunder Sword.
-Hey, that brat!”
Lass shouted at the Black Tower owner as if he was dumbfounded.
“Don’t say that again.”
The Black Tower Master gritted his teeth, revealing his pure white face in the fog.
“There isn’t much left. “I will kill you and Glenn Sieghart with my own hands!”
After saying his last words, he became fog and dispersed. Marangun’s body fell like a doll whose strings had been cut.
“Ugh…”
Raon wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and let out a long sigh.
“…Raon.”
Rimmer called out to Raon with blank eyes.
“Um, is the matriarch really here?”
“Is that possible?”
Raon laughed and shook his head. Glenn is the person who teaches how to catch a tiger and then pushes it into the tiger’s den. There was no way I could come here and protect you.
“So it was all a bluff?”
“Yes.”
“Are you really crazy?”
Rimer collapsed on the spot, saying that he too had been deceived. He let out a laugh, wondering if he was looking for the wrong job.
-It’s all because of that brat!
Lars shook his round fist.
-This is my first time seeing a fanboy worse than the main king…
Just as I was about to tell him that he was stupid, a message came up in front of my eyes.
[You have achieved a great achievement.]
[All abilities….]
[Attributes…]
-Uuuuh!
‘I’m sorry…’
Raon quenched his appetite as he watched Lars collapse with foam in his mouth.
‘There is no one in the world worse than you….’
