Episode 799
“Are you saying there is no way now?”
Raon’s fingertips trembled. I had high hopes for Lawrence, so when I heard that there was no way, I felt like my heart sank.
‘No, wait…’
That’s not the look in the eyes of someone who has completely given up.
Unlike Lawrence, who said there was no way, there was a small light in his golden eyes.
It was difficult, but there seemed to be a way.
“Lawrence. No way…”
Raon looked down at Lawrence and frowned.
“It’s so difficult that it’s as if it doesn’t exist. “You don’t mean to say this, do you?”
“uh…?”
Lawrence blinked as if he had hit the nail on the head.
“Well, that’s…”
“In today’s fast-paced world, such language is not good. In fact, it’s more obvious than that.”
Raon said he was disappointed and shook his head.
“No, I just. Oh, you’re right. Umm…”
Lawrence stuttered and lowered his head. As expected, there was a way, but it seemed like it was expressed as not being possible because it was too difficult.
-Yes, do you have no feelings of pity for you?
Lars raised his red eyes.
-How can you say something like that after hearing that poor guy’s story!
‘Lawrence said it. ‘Let’s change the mood, but it’s rather rude to keep sulking.’
-Didn’t you make that bastard flop down!
The guy pointed at Lawrence, who was lowering his head.
-From now on, you will be considered an Elyos! You bastard!
Lars gritted his teeth as he thought he could see white wings behind his back.
“Ha, what happened to that guy’s tongue?”
Lawrence looked at Raon and shook his head.
“That guy’s snout won’t stay still even for a moment, so you must be tired.”
“To me, my grandson is more polite than anyone else.”
Rektar lowered his hand, telling him not to compare himself to others.
“That is different from Edgar.”
Lawrence looked at Raon with his eyebrows lowered.
“Ha, you’re right. I said no because it was a very difficult task. Well, I didn’t know it would be so obvious…”
He scratched his cheek as if he was embarrassed.
“From now on, please come outside the Seonggeomryeon. There are many good places, so I’ll introduce them to you.”
Raon stretched out his hand with a faint smile.
“done. “If I hang out with you, I’ll feel bad.”
Lawrence gritted his teeth as if he absolutely hated it.
“Anyway, is there a way to save my colleague’s mother?”
Raon suppressed his trembling chest and took a step closer to Lawrence.
“Yes.”
Lawrence nodded as if he was sure.
“The method is….”
“Please wait a moment.”
Raon raised his hand and covered Lawrence’s mouth.
“Wait?”
“I don’t think I should be the only one hearing this story.”
Maybe Martha is in Sieghardt. From here on out, I wanted to listen with her.
“You mean to bring your friend.”
Lawrence clenched his chin as if he understood what he meant.
“okay. “That would be correct.”
He crossed his arms and said he would wait here.
“Martha will be at the mansion.”
Rektar smiled as if to say, “Go ahead.”
“yes. then.”
Raon bowed to Rektar and Lawrence and immediately went down the mountain.
“Ryeonju… no, grandpa.”
Lawrence smiled softly as he looked at Raon’s back.
“I guess his student came to his senses, he got a crazy grandchild like that, and he was very lucky in his later years.”
“It’s not just the last years.”
Rektar smiled softly and placed a hand on Lawrence’s messy hair.
“You are also my blessing.”
* * *
Cooung!
As soon as Raon opened the door to the mansion, Marta appeared.
“Why are you so late! “I already prepared the food!”
Martha frowned as she told him to wash his hands and sit down at the table.
“for a moment.”
Raon closed the door to the mansion and called Martha to the side.
“hmm?”
Marta seemed to realize that the matter was urgent and came over holding a plate with food on it.
“I’m sorry, but let’s eat later. “Something important happened.”
“much?”
“It’s about your mother…”
He briefly told me what had happened so far.
“Ah…”
Martha sat down, as if her legs had lost strength. The plate of meatballs she was holding tumbled to the floor.
“Really? That’s all…”
“It’s true.”
Raon nodded heavily.
“I’m sorry for telling you a secret without your permission. But if you want to hear the facts…”
“That doesn’t matter!”
Martha gritted her teeth and raised her pitch-black gaze.
“If there’s a way to save my mom, I don’t mind doing anything.”
She stood up with difficulty, saying, “Let’s go to the cave right away.”
“Then right away…”
“Wait.”
Martha was about to follow Raon out but turned around.
“hey! come out!”
At her gesture, Runaan and Buren, who had been hiding on the wall of the restaurant, poked out their faces.
“I’m sorry…”
“I’m sorry. “I didn’t want to overhear, but I couldn’t help it…”
Runaan and Buren bowed their heads.
“Everyone knows this anyway.”
Martha calmly shook her head.
“You guys go too.”
Instead, she motioned for the two of them to come together.
“uh…?”
“Us too?”
“You weren’t planning on helping?”
Marta wrinkled her nose, telling her not to ask the obvious.
“Well, of course I have to help! “Because it’s Prosecutor Sieghardt’s job to help his colleagues!”
Burren nodded awkwardly.
“Nachalnyeo’s work is my business.”
Unlike her fierce gaze, Runaan answered clearly.
“Then let’s go.”
Martha left the mansion first and went up the mountain, as if she was leading the way.
“huh!”
“Yes, yes.”
Runaan and Buren immediately followed Marta without hesitation.
‘It looks good.’
Raon smiled brightly as he looked at the three people’s backs.
‘It seems like we finally understand each other.’
-It looks good, but it was all guided by you!
Lars hummed and snorted.
-There’s no way a weak guy like you can forget an amazing feat. You made me listen to everything because I expected the beef girl to come out like that!
The guy lifted his chin as if he knew everything.
‘Oh, did you know that? ‘You’ve become more perceptive too!’
-Do not ignore the King! In human terms, I am superior to you!
‘That’s a bit sad…’
Every time I heard that Lars had no humanity, it was heartbreaking because it seemed so sincere.
“Anyway, it’s nice that we’re like family now.”
Raon nodded with satisfaction as he watched Marta, Buren, and Runan walking in a single file.
“Who’s family!”
Martha looked back and narrowed her eyes.
“A family with such a brutal person is a bit…”
Buren shook his head as if he felt burdened.
“I am a graceful woman.”
Runan blinked her blind eyes, telling her not to compare herself to the Rachalnyeo.
The three people growled and said different things, which seemed more friendly.
“Let’s go a little faster. “Because you will be waiting.”
Raon led everyone to Lawrence’s cave with a smile on his face.
“I brought you.”
I bowed my head slightly and made Martha stand in front of Lawrence.
“You…”
Lawrence looked at Marta, was unable to continue his words, and let out a long sigh.
“are you okay. “I have accepted it all now.”
Unlike Lawrence, who was struggling, Martha calmly nodded.
“Just tell me. “There really is a way to save Mom, right?”
She bent down as if asking. He looks confident, but his shoulders are shaking. I felt like I was so nervous that my heart sank.
“okay. There is a way. “But it’s close to impossible.”
“Tell me please.”
Martha chewed her lip as if she was about to hear something.
“There are three conditions. “These are all difficult conditions.”
Lawrence held up three fingers.
“The first condition is to suppress the white blood cult leader. “You must not kill them, but put them in a state where their lives are at risk.”
He frowned and continued speaking.
“As you all know, it is very difficult to bring that monster, which grows stronger over time, to a state on the verge of death. Even among the leaders of Ohwang Oma, there are only a few who can do that.”
“I guess so. “Currently, the only person in Wuhuang who can subdue the White Blood Cult leader is our family head.”
Except for Ogram, the Night King who lost his power, Recross, the Dark Lord, Larian, the Magic Tower Lord, and Chamber, the Grand Wizard from the movie, will all be able to compete against the White Blood Cult Leader.
However, the only person who could subdue the White Blood Cult leader and bring him to the brink of death was Glenn Sieghart, the King of Northern Destruction.
“With the first difficulty level being extreme, the second condition is not easy either.”
Lawrence shook his head lightly.
“Second, there must be a body nearby that the white blood cult leader can change into.”
“If it is a body that can be changed…”
“The White Blood Cult Leader is a monster who has lived for hundreds of years by changing bodies. “You have the ability to inhabit another person’s body as a spirit and take over that body.”
He continued speaking with a look of disgust in his eyes.
“However, the monster only dominates the body and does not kill the soul of the original owner. Should we say that it is a contract condition that allows one to use all of one’s abilities by squeezing the potential of one’s body?”
Lawrence briefly took a bite, saying that that was why Martha’s mother was still alive.
“Ugh…”
Marta chewed her lip and grabbed the cheap necklace.
Now I think I understand why the white blood cult leader is wearing an old necklace that he and his mother made together.
“When a white blood cult leader moves to a new body, he leaves after killing the original owner’s soul in order to erase the memories and blood that will remain in the old body.”
Lawrence lowered his head as if he felt sorry for even saying this.
“However, if a moment of crisis comes, the soul will be taken out immediately, regardless of what happens to the original body. Otherwise, the soul of the original body can never be saved.”
He let out a low breath, saying it was the only way.
“The problem is that there are very few bodies that can accept the soul of a white blood cult leader. “The blood demons are sending sacrifices to the main altar to find it, but it is not easy to find.”
Lawrence frowned, thinking that the second condition might be more difficult than the first.
“Then what is the third condition?”
Raon asked, looking at Lawrence’s second finger.
“The third is that the soul of the escaped white blood cult leader must be killed before it enters a new body.”
Lawrence shook his head briefly.
“Are you saying you’re going to kill me while I’m in a spirit state?”
“okay.”
He nodded briefly.
“The leader of the White Blood Cult can control all the blood energy in the world. “If she enters a new body, she may take her previous body, which still has blood, as hostage.”
Lawrence chewed his lip, saying that it was not an easy task.
“That’s why I said there was no way. It’s almost impossible…”
“I guess I can take the second hostage.”
Martha pounded her chest with her fist.
“Mom and I look alike. “I’m sure there’s room for that damn bitch.”
She nodded, saying that the Ten Apostles recognized her and targeted her.
“Then I can take care of the first one.”
Raon came forward as if receiving Martha’s words.
“I will catch the white blood cult leader.”
He called the name of the white blood cult leader, one of the strongest on the continent, like a local bully.
“We will play a supporting role.”
Burren swallowed dryly and clenched his fists.
“huh. anything.”
Runan also nodded, saying he would do anything.
“Oh, no!”
Lawrence jumped up.
“Did you hear me correctly? It’s not that easy to say…”
“I heard everything. “Didn’t you just subdue the white blood cult leader and kill her when she tries to change into another body?”
Raon condensed the long, despairing words that Lawrence had muttered into one sentence.
“Yes, that’s true, but…”
Lawrence shook his chin as if he was dumbfounded.
“Even if Martha has the potential to become the white blood cult leader’s new body, how are you going to subdue and kill the white blood cult leader?”
“You just have to fight, train and become stronger. “That’s why I came here.”
Raon nodded, saying it was a simple task.
“That’s simple to say…”
Lawrence looked confused as he looked at Raon and Marta who were laughing.
“I was sailing through the open sea without a map, and the chart fell right in front of me. “Even if I have to go through lava and overcome a typhoon, I’m just happy.”
Raon smiled brightly as he looked at Lawrence.
‘Because now there is a way.’
Even though I didn’t know how to save Martha’s mother, I was determined to save her, but Lawrence told me the plan.
No matter how difficult it was, I couldn’t help but smile.
“thank you.”
Martha drew her sword and took Sieghard’s sword. It was my first time seeing her greet me so politely.
“Thank you.”
“thank you.”
Runaan and Buren also expressed their gratitude for helping their friend.
“Then let’s go down.”
Martha immediately turned her back without the slightest hesitation.
“Going down?”
“You have to train. “I don’t have time to do this.”
She nodded, saying that she felt like she needed to become a Grand Master to be of at least some help.
“That’s right…”
“I finished eating.”
Burren and Runaan shrugged and followed behind her.
“No…”
Lawrence’s chin trembled as he watched the three children leave without hesitation.
‘Aren’t those guys fearful?’
If I hadn’t seen the white blood cult leader, I wouldn’t have known it, but I didn’t feel any fear even though I met him right in front of me.
It was surprising that even though he knew the strength of the White Blood Cult, he was confident that he could win.
‘What the hell…’
Although he was determined to avenge his mother, he did not come out of the cave, making the excuse that he was practicing Yeokhaemu.
Even though he had reached transcendence, he was still afraid of the white blood cult leader.
However, those children who were much younger and weaker than themselves were strengthening their will to fight, thinking of confronting the white blood cult leader head-on.
I couldn’t lift my face because of the shame surging from my chest.
“It’s hard. “It will be scary and difficult.”
Raon nodded as if he understood Lawrence’s feelings.
“But it has to be done. “Isn’t it the same, Lawrence?”
Lawrence’s lips trembled at those words.
‘What I have to do…’
When I heard those words, my real mother’s face, smiling even as she was dying, came to mind.
He risked his soul and pledged revenge, but before he knew it, he had become a coward.
‘This will be the last chance I’m given.’
It’s something I could never do alone, but the thought of doing it with those kids gave me strangely courage.
“I see. “I was just burying in my heart what I had to do even after I died.”
Lawrence nodded with a wet smile.
“I’ll help you too. “Whether it’s a stepping stone or a sword, I’ll do anything in that fight.”
He revealed his vivid golden eyes as if he had achieved spiritual enlightenment.
“Then, please help me with my training first.”
Raon nodded as if he liked it.
“uh…?”
Lawrence blinked at Raon.
“Soo-ryeon?”
“You said you would do anything.”
“No, I’m not talking about now, but that I will be with you when we fight the white blood cult leader…” “
That’s it. wake up. “Because I don’t have time.”
Raon pointed a finger at Lawrence.
“uh? “Uh-huh…”
Lawrence stood up, sighing as if he had been caught in the act again.
“Like you said, I was caught wrongly.”
Rektar laughed as if he was amused at Lawrence’s embarrassed appearance.
-They say you shouldn’t be swayed by the atmosphere.
Lars also shook his head as if he was pitiful.
-Because leeches never fall off!
* * *
Kyaaaaaaa!
The swords that Marta and Zeira were pointing at each other’s throats collided, sending out bright red sparks.
Couuuuuuuuck!
Marta’s sword contained explosive energy, but Zeira’s sword advanced in a straight and precise path, erasing all that power.
“As it is, nothing has changed from before?”
Jaya licked her lips with regret.
“You’ll tell me that after this sparring is over!”
Martha gritted her teeth and stamped her left foot.
‘I’m different from Raon.’
Raon gave me advice to find my own path here.
However, since he did not have the ability to absorb the other person’s strengths like Raon, there was only one way to go.
‘Strength and recklessness.’
I’ve been wondering if I should learn to be gentle with my skills that aren’t improving, but the path that suits me best is to go straight.
Thanks to the prosecutors of Seonggeomryeon who followed only one path, I was able to be confident that my path was not wrong.
‘It goes on like this!’
Martha stepped forward. An extreme slash that unleashes a blast of wind upon the powerful Titan Aura. She carried out the same sword attack as before with a completely different mindset.
A tree with deep roots does not shake even in a storm. Martha’s steel sword collided with Zeira’s true sword, creating a huge wave.
Wow!
As before, a shock wave exploded so violently that it turned the ground upside down, but the result was different.
“Ugh…”
Zeira was lying on the floor with her eyes frowning, and Marta was standing in front of her.
“Ha…”
Zeira looked up at Marta and laughed.
“It really has made a difference. “It’s only been a month…”
She shook her head, saying it was absurd.
“Congratulations on reaching the top level of Master. And you found your way.”
Jayra smiled brightly as if she was sincerely congratulating the other person’s growth.
“thank you.”
Marta nodded and took Zeira’s hand. Unlike his pursuit of strength, his personality seemed to have become softer.
Raon looked at Marta and Zeira laughing and talking, then turned his back and climbed the mountain.
-Everyone is changing.
Lars nodded as if he liked it.
‘yes. And that too in a good way.’
Not only Marta, but Runaan and Buren also achieved great growth both academically and mentally. It was a good idea to bring everyone here.
‘It’s time for me to change.’
After finding out about Lawrence’s situation, he traveled around the Seonggeomryeon for a month and engaged in life-threatening sparring with strong men.
As Rektar said, there were many eccentric swordsmen within the Holy Swordsmanry who followed only one path, and thanks to them, the stagnant achievements of Mangeom were able to be greatly improved.
As I stood in the clearing on the mountainside, thinking about the growth and changes that had occurred, I heard Lawrence’s voice coming from inside the cave.
“Ha, aren’t you tired of it?”
Lawrence shook his head in disgust.
“Even if I try every day and it doesn’t work, I might quit, but it’s so bad.”
“I’m tired of saying that, so come down quickly.”
Raon chuckled and clapped his hands.
“And today will be a little different.”
“What a leech.”
Lawrence let out a short sigh and jumped down into the clearing.
“Let’s begin.”
He nodded, saying there was no need for a prior greeting, so just go for it.
“great.”
Raon took a breath and pulled out his sword.
– Wouldn’t it be better to use the sword system now?
Lars furrowed his eyebrows, saying he was tired of watching people lose.
‘It’s meaningless.’
It is unlikely that he will win with the power of the sword world, but even if he wins, it is meaningless.
He just wants to overcome Lawrence’s special ability with swordsmanship.
‘You have to win with the sword, not ability versus ability.’
I closed my eyes and opened them while breathing. I quietly stretched out my left foot, thinking of Lawrence as another teacher, not an enemy.
* * *
Lawrence lowered his eyebrows as he watched Raon’s ceremony as always.
‘Not yet.’
Raon’s swordsmanship was improving rapidly, but he was unable to overcome the wall itself.
Even with such talent and perseverance, it seemed like it would take time to break out of the shell.
‘Then what I can do…’
is to do my best to prevent it.
Thanks to Raon, his Yeokhaemu was also slowly growing.
It was everyone’s job to always be a strong wall.
Cheeeeee!
Raon’s sword turns silver and rushes in. A speed that seems to transcend the word fast. The guy’s sword became even faster.
‘It’s definitely getting better. At this speed… huh?’
It was a time when I was admiring Raon’s swordsmanship and trying to use Yeokhaemu.
Hwaaaah!
Raon’s sword, which contained extreme swordsmanship, changes. It also reverses the flow of the sea fog.
