Episode 773
Gooooooo!
Raon swallowed dryly as he saw that the magic energy of the soul stone that had been shaking as if it was about to explode had subsided.
‘Did you suppress the demon energy with your will?’
Seeing that the explosion of the soul stone had stopped, it seemed that Rektar had crushed the demonic energy with his intention to reach transcendence.
– Inside that soul stone, there is a concentration of magical energy that even the most transcendental people can’t withstand…
Ras quenched his appetite while looking at Rektar.
-It looks like Yeongtaeng has grown quite a bit too.
The guy laughed, saying that old people are great.
‘growth?’
Now that I think about it, I feel like Rektar’s energy waves have become much sharper. It was like seeing the old Glenn.
“W-what…”
The two-headed ears widened their eyes as if they couldn’t believe it.
“Sword Demon! Why are you here?! “How did the explosion stop again?”
He screamed at Rektar with a mocking smile on his face.
“….”
Lektar glared at the two-headed ears with cold eyes without giving any answer.
“Ugh! no way! “You must die here!”
The two-headed ear distorted its face and raised its tangled arms. It seemed like they were trying to use speculation to remotely explode the spirit stone.
Boom!
Raon forcibly pulled up the Auror who was lying on the floor and stepped on the Taehwabo. He went straight towards the two-headed ghost and struck back with the requiem sword he was holding.
Whoa whoa!
The blade, sparkling with energy, cut through the two-headed man’s fighting spirit and lodged itself in the guy’s neck.
“Wow!”
The two-headed demon tried to explode the soul stone even if he died, but he could not lift a finger because of the energy blooming from the soul sword.
“Ra, Raon Sieghart. “Obstruct me until the end…”
He raised his bloodshot eyes and gritted his teeth.
“When it’s time to die, that damn smile disappears.”
Raon tilted his chin as he looked at the grimly crumpled expression of the two-headed ears.
“If you kill me, the soul stone will explode right away! “Don’t pull out your sword…”
“Lying is awkward.”
Raon looked down at his two-headed ears and snorted.
“If that gem explodes when you die, you would have committed suicide a little while ago.”
The two-headed ghost wants everyone here to disappear even if he dies.
Considering that the guy did not kill himself, but tried to explode the soul stone remotely, it was clear that the suicide-triggered explosion was also blocked by Rektar.
“Now, wait! no! Listen to me! “I…”
“Now it’s your turn to be tormented by death.”
Raon shook his head resolutely and lowered the requiem sword stuck in the two-headed demon’s neck.
Ugh!
Yogi’s elongated blade cut off the two-headed demon’s neck without hesitation.
Its head fell off its neck and rolled on the floor.
“Damn it…”
The demon, who had been mocking human life and fate, fell into despair and lost his breath.
“Whoa…”
Raon let out a long sigh as he looked at the dead twin-headed ears with his eyes wide open.
Seeing the person who was playing with other people’s lives cry out and die, it felt like my heart had been ripped out of my chest.
‘I want to collapse like this, but…’
There’s still work left to do.
With difficulty, I raised my head and turned my gaze to Rektar and Edgar. The two people were also looking this way in silence.
‘Did you say father?’
A little while ago, Edgar called Rektar his father. That meant that Rektar was his grandfather.
-That old man is your grandfather…
Lars looked at Rektar and savored his appetite.
-As expected, your blood was also unusual.
The guy furrowed his eyebrows, saying he was unusual from the first time we met.
‘Did you know that Rektar was here?’
-Isn’t it obvious?
Lars snorted, asking what he wanted to ask.
‘But why didn’t you tell me?
-That old man was watching you more than once. Since it doesn’t show up every time, I thought it would stay still this time too.
The guy shook his head, saying he thought Rektar’s hobby was voyeurism.
“Ah, how could my father be here…”
Edgar swallowed dryly as if he couldn’t believe that Rektar had come to visit.
“I got a call from that guy while I was tracking Eden’s movements.”
Rektar raised his finger and pointed at Merlin.
“It felt like a lie, but I came here just in case, and I was glad I wasn’t late.”
He nodded gratefully at Merlin.
“A girl says hello to her grandfather.”
Merlin lowered his head, gently lifting the torn skirt that looked like an old umbrella. The feeling of embarrassment didn’t seem to exist for her.
“Ha, grandfather…?”
Rektar’s eyes shook wildly. He looked at Raon and Sylvia as if they didn’t understand the situation, but no one spoke.
“I called the other side too, but it’s late so it’ll take a while.”
Merlin smiled brightly, as if telling him not to worry.
“Well, good job…”
Rektar nodded, giving a cursory answer as if he didn’t want to talk to Merlin any more.
“yes!”
Merlin smiled brightly, muttering that he had been praised by his grandfather.
“father. “I…”
Edgar couldn’t look straight at Rektar and looked away.
“Shut your mouth.”
Rektar shook his head as he stopped the bleeding on Edgar’s left chest, which was still bleeding.
“I’m sorry…”
Edgar couldn’t raise his head, as if he had been shamed.
“I left the school shouting that I didn’t want to live like my father, but I became a scum who couldn’t even protect my family…”
He shook his shoulders as if his heart was in more pain than the wound in his chest.
“I’m so sorry…”
“Oh, no!”
Sylvia ran out and held Edgar’s trembling hand.
“Eden wasn’t Lee, he was chasing me! “It’s all my fault!”
She shook her head, exclaiming that the attack on Eden was because of her.
“Hmm…”
Rektar looked at Sylvia’s hazy, tear-filled eyes and then turned his head.
He didn’t say anything because he knew Sylvia’s pain better than anyone else.
“ah! sorry. “I’ll say hello again.”
Sylvia knelt in front of Rektar while holding Edgar’s hand.
“My name is Sylvia Sieghardt. father.”
She called Rektar her father and bowed her head deeply.
“It seems you already knew.”
Rektar personally helped Silvia up and shook her chin.
“It looked like it had been stamped on it, so I couldn’t recognize it.”
Sylvia smiled slightly, saying that Edgar and Rektar looked very similar.
‘Definitely…’
Raon nodded, looking at Edgar and Rektar in turn. As Sylvia said, the two people had very similar auras and appearances, with only a different hair color.
“Raon.”
Sylvia turned her head and called Raon’s name.
“I have to say hello to my grandfather.”
She waved for me to come this way.
“Ah yes.”
Raon nodded and stood up. Even though my whole body was weak, I had to say hello properly as Sylvia said.
“Um, there…”
However, when I stood in front of Rektar, my mind suddenly felt blank. The word ‘grandfather’ did not come out.
“Say hello later. “Let’s take care of this first.”
Rektar also let out a low breath, as if he was still embarrassed, and carefully lifted the spirit stone connected to Edgar’s heart.
“You can bear it, right?”
“of course.”
Even though Edgar was feeling extreme pain, he did not even moan while holding Sylvia’s hand.
“okay. “You can’t show your ugly side in front of your children.”
Rektar smiled softly and looked at the still-quivering Soul Stone. After a while, he frowned in frustration.
“If you sever the blood vessel like this, your demonic energy could burst, or your life could be in danger. “I think we need a congressman.”
Rektar let out a shaky breath, saying that priests and councilors with outstanding skills were needed.
“The Saint of Rags is now in Sieghart.”
Raon pointed in the direction where Sieghart was. Saint Pedric of Rags possesses both divine power and excellent medical skills. He will definitely be able to solve it.
“Oh, that’s right. Let’s go to Sieghardt.”
Sylvia nodded quickly.
“Pedric will definitely help you!”
“It’s hard to go to Sieghardt.”
Edgar lowered his gaze, unable to look directly into Sylvia’s eyes.
“what? why?”
“I was an executive at Eden, and my father became the master of the Holy Sword Training. “How are we going to get to Sieghardt?”
He chewed his lip, saying he did not want to harm Sylvia and Raon.
“Does not matter.”
Rektar calmly shook his head.
“Because the name of the Holy Swordmaster is not heavier than your life.”
“Oh, father?”
“The reason I became a Holy Sword Trainer was to protect Raon and Sylvia from Oma.”
He revealed his firmly sunken eyes, saying that was the only reason.
“Father…”
“Father…”
Edgar and Sylvia seemed to sense Rektar’s sincerity and their white lips trembled.
“Since you couldn’t be the father, shouldn’t you be the one?”
Rektar smiled slightly, saying that he had just paid the price for mistaking his son.
“Ah…”
Raon clenched his fists as he looked into Rektar’s quiet eyes.
When I remembered his words a moment ago and Lars’s testimony that he watched every time, the questions that had been building up were immediately resolved.
It seemed like all the bizarre actions Rektar had done so far were to protect himself.
My heart ached as if it were wrapped in thorn vines due to my gratitude and sorrow for him.
“sorry.”
Edgar also seemed to feel Rektar’s feelings and bowed his head deeply.
“I really don’t have anything to say to my father.”
“It’s okay to say sorry.”
Rektar calmly waved his hand.
“Before you are your wife, son, and daughter, they are my daughter-in-law and grandchildren.”
He snorted, saying that it was natural for him to move.
“….”
Raon smiled slightly, looking at Rektar’s face, which seemed to have brightened slightly.
‘I think you’re back.’
It feels like seeing Rektar, who came to Sieghart and competed with Glenn in swordsmanship training. The softness of that time was blooming in him.
“Well, anyway, they’re not enemies.”
Rimmer lowered his sword as if he felt relieved now.
“That shy old man should be nervous, right?”
He shrugged as if he had an interesting idea.
“It looks like support will come from Sieghardt, but let’s get out of here for now.”
Rektar said that he should return to the Aryan family and turned around, holding Edgar’s shoulder.
“S-sorry.”
Edgar let out a low breath while being supported by Rektar.
“All I can say after seeing you for the first time in decades is that I’m sorry.”
Rektar shook his head as if telling him to stop talking.
“You don’t say things like that in front of your children.”
He glanced at Raon and waved his hand as if to tell him to stop.
“Oh, yes.”
Edgar glanced at Raon and Sylvia and nodded.
“I’ll carry Sia.”
Sylvia hugged Sia herself, as if she did not want to leave her daughter, whom she had met for the first time in 20 years, in someone else’s hands.
“Something good about it.”
She smiled brightly as she approached Rektar and Edgar with tears still forming on her face.
“That’s good, you are truly unique…”
Rektar was about to speak, but then urgently raised his head.
-Here you come!
Lars also shouted as if he was surprised.
“What…”
When Raon raised his gaze, the air fluttered like a curtain, creating an elongated darkness.
Coo coo coo coo!
Holy light surged out of the darkness that undulated like waves. It was Tacheon, the leader of Eden, who was wrapped in light and darkness.
“…Is that what happened?”
Tacheon calmly nodded as if he understood the entire situation just by lowering his gaze.
“Tacheon…”
Rektar stepped forward to protect others.
“It seems like you had other thoughts.”
Tacheon smiled slightly, as if he knew that would happen.
“I will never forgive you!”
Rektar revealed his demon-like face as if he was going to kill Tacheon, who had inflicted indelible scars on his son and granddaughter.
“Go ahead. “After my experiment is over, of course.”
When Tacheon smiled and snapped his fingers, the Soul Magic Stone, which had been caught in Rektar’s grasp and could not move, vibrated violently.
Couuuuuuuuck!
The subdued demonic energy filled up in an instant, and a deep crack appeared on the soul stone.
“Get back!”
Rektar pulled out the soul stone from Edgar’s heart and pushed everyone else back.
“Master Rektar!”
The moment Raon called Rektar’s name, the soul stone shattered and an enormous amount of magical energy exploded that seemed to cover the entire world.
Kuwaaaaaaaaaaa!
Raon bounced off like a kicked rock and rolled on the floor countless times.
My vision turned completely white, and only a beeping sound came from my ears. My arms and legs were weak, and I felt nothing, as if all sensation had been erased.
“Wow!”
When I couldn’t come to my senses for a while, I vomited blood due to the intense pain in my abdomen.
Thanks to the pain, I slowly came to my senses and began to see a plain with black smoke.
‘Mom, Dad, Grandpa…’
I turned my head, but I couldn’t see anyone else but myself. My heart started beating so hard as if it was going to explode at any moment.
“Off….”
Raon crawled on his knees towards the smoke. Neither my arms nor legs could move, but I couldn’t stay still like this.
Whoa!
When I finally arrived in front of the pitch-black smoke, a wind blew out of the air and pushed away all the dust and smoke covered in demonic energy.
“Ah…”
Rimmer and Merlin were lying down, coughing up blood, as if they were trying to protect themselves, and next to them were Edgar and Sylvia, who were lying limp with their arms wrapped around Sia.
Raon turned his trembling gaze and looked in front of him.
Rektar stood alone in front of a crack in the earth with no end in sight, as if the abyss had been opened.
He felt like he was empty, as if he had poured all his energy into preventing the explosion of the soul stone.
“Uh…”
Everyone’s breathing had disappeared, perhaps because their senses had been distorted, or if this was reality.
Coo coo coo coo.
When I saw the sinking people drenched in blood, my mind became distorted and the anger that had settled at the bottom of my soul rose like wildfire.
The unbearable impulse of anger began to spread to my fingertips.
-Stop! Do you really want to kill everyone?
Lars waved his arms and blocked the way.
-How many times have I told you that if the real king descends directly into your body, he will go berserk! Still…
he was saying something, but I couldn’t hear it properly. It was difficult to come to my senses as anger was already welling up in my mind.
“It wouldn’t have been like that if I hadn’t kept the useless things.”
Tacheon eventually knelt down and nodded as he looked at Rektar, who had lowered his head.
“Still, it’s firepower that’s worth the effort.”
He smiled as if he was satisfied with the experiment
!
At that moment, a line broke in my mind.
Raon no longer resisted and gave himself over to his anger. The spirit cultivated by the sword began to freeze to silver.
-Holy shit!
Lars gritted his teeth as he was sucked into Raon’s mind.
Since he had been living as a spirit body that could not control his physical body, no matter how much he was himself, he had no choice but to cause a runaway.
If I went there, it was clear that the cub would run away and everyone else would die.
-You idiot, just be patient!
It was a time when I was screaming and trying to endure it somehow.
Gooooooo!
The heart ring, which had lost control of its owner, spun rapidly and spread its wings blazing with flame.
* * *
“Is it broken?”
Tacheon stood there and stretched out his hand towards Raon, who froze.
“Your mental strength is weaker than I thought.”
The blade of darkness he raised was about to pierce Raon’s heart and neck.
Wow!
A blue light rose above the cracked earth and enveloped Raon. The blade of darkness raised by Tacheon tore like a piece of paper and melted.
Black horns sprouted from Raon’s forehead, and a huge, flickering silver moon rose behind him.
The World Tree of Frost, which grew under the noble moonlight, subsided the light and darkness of Tarcheon.
The sky freezes white, and the ground turns black and distorted.
Raon, standing in the blue light, revealed his noble stature as if he had the whole world at his feet.
causality. A monster that distorted the rules of the world had descended upon human flesh.
“This is…”
Tacheon’s eyes were filled with doubt and fear. He built an intense wall of light and darkness to protect himself.
Raon, with his red eyes engulfed in the energy of the Demon King, lowered his sword.
Light and darkness separated, and red blood spurted from Tacheon’s abdomen.
Oh my!
