Chapter 274
The moment Raon opened his eyes, a light that resembled the sunlight flashed in his pupils.
He put his hand on his left chest. The seven rings spinning vigorously told me that what had happened so far was not a dream.
“Is it finally complete… .”
new ring. The seventh ring, which he completed with a lot of work, was spinning around his heart.
‘It was just a point difference.’
It was difficult to make the sixth loop, but not as much as this time. It didn’t take much time, but it was hard enough that my whole body was drenched in a cold sweat. If I had failed, I would have had to lie down for several days.
Gooooo!
Raon exhaled slowly, listening to the resonance of his heart.
‘Is it starting from Aura?’
The seven rings began to purify the energy of the cartoonist and Glacia in the Danjeon more clearly.
Even with six rings, I thought the purity was perfect, but there was a place to go further.
‘My senses have also changed.’
The range of senses felt by the five senses and aura, including sight and hearing, has also risen one step higher than before. It feels like the flow of the world has changed once again.
‘The foundation has become even more solid.’
Higher achievements in the Ring of Fire do not immediately increase the level of martial arts, but the foundation for reaching higher levels and faster is broadened and deepened.
I naturally laughed because it could be an opportunity to go beyond the master and go higher.
“I mean, it’s amazing.”
The Ring of Fire is literally territorial when it comes to creating a new ring, but once the ring is complete, it welcomes you warmly. Even now, the six rings made a clear sound as if to welcome the newly created seventh ring.
Raon smiled as he enjoyed the sound of the rings.
“I’m glad it ended quickly though.”
I forgot the time in the middle, but seeing that I was not hungry and not sleepy, it seemed that only about two days had passed.
-hurry?
Lars climbed up from the ice flower bracelet.
-Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah?
The boy gritted his teeth and poked his face.
-Did you say hurry up after you’ve been sleeping for a week?
“one week?”
– That’s right! You haven’t moved from the spot for a week!
“You mean that?”
I didn’t expect that a week had passed since I was doing the exercises to eat the elixir and come back.
‘A person could have concentrated that much.’
It was the first time he had been so focused. I think I saw the human potential too low. My heart skipped a beat when I found a way to go further.
-This king… This king… .
Lars trembled with his round fists as if indignant.
-I haven’t eaten a single meal in a week! Not even one meal!
“hmm… .”
Words that were not at all unexpected came out of Lars.
I kept feeling it, but this demon lord’s gluttony was real, without a hint of lies. So it was even more surprising.
“I kept all the food promises I made to you… .”
– Shut up!
Lars raised two fingers. He threatened to poke him in the eye if he said one more word.
-You know what?
“What, what?”
-The four ladies-in-waiting left food in front of the door every mealtime.
He pointed to the gap under the door and bit his lip.
-Breakfast, lunch, dinner, up to two snacks in between! There were five meals a day behind that door, and I missed them all! A total of 35 meals disappeared before the eyes of the main king!
Lars grabbed his head and started shaking it. Moisture seemed to build up in his eyes.
– Hungry, smelly, but inedible sadness. Do you know that despair! hell! okay. Hell itself!
Hell is your home… .
Oh, is it a demon? Well, it must be similar to Hell or the Demon World.
Anyway, watching the demon king cry out for only filtering the rice, I laughed out loud.
-Smile? Are you laughing now? Torture this lord of wrath and then raise your mouth?
Lars gnashed his teeth to make a sound.
– It’s the first time I’ve ever been so angry. If you can’t see it, don’t even put up with it! I can see it, I can smell it! By the way, yesterday was pineapple pizza! pineapple!
“Um, sorry.”
Raon raised his hands as if he were putting his palms together.
“You have more annoying things.”
-dog sound! There’s nothing to be angry about more than this… .
Before Lars could finish his words, a message floated in front of his eyes.
[A new <Ring of Fire> has been created.]
[<Ring of Fire> has reached 7 stars.]
[You will be able to see and feel more.]
[The level of the soul rises.]
[The level of the talent <Indomitable Will> has risen to 4 stars.]
[The level of <Concentration> is increased to 5 stars.]
[All stats increase by 7 points]
The ring of fire was completed and the rewards obtained in front of his eyes were full.
– Wow!
The eyes of Lars, who had been muttering that there was nothing more to be angry about, swelled to the point of popping out.
“I had quite a few achievements in a week. I thought it would come out for sure.
Raon smiled as he read the message. He always felt that he had created a new ring of fire, and that his stats and attributes were increasing, but Ras’ existence itself was a blessing.
-Turn it off… .
Tendons sprouted from Lars’ brow, and a chill of rage began to burn over his shoulders.
I tried to move the seven rings, thinking they would attack, but he bit his lip and didn’t move.
“Can you be patient?”
-Bo, don’t underestimate the king. I won’t do you any more good than this!
“Ras has learned <Patience>.”
– Shut up!
When Raon spoke as if the system was coming out, another tendon stretched on Lars’ forehead.
“No, I thought well.”
If the seven rings of fire resonate at the same time, no matter what Lars does, it means nothing. If I jumped at him like he said, I would only have more abilities.
However, laughter came out at the ironic situation in which the demon king of anger suppressed his anger.
-If you have a conscience, go out and eat right away! Pizza if possible. Pineapple and shrimp pizza would be good too.
Lars growled and made detailed demands. He’s a really stupid guy.
“Sorry, but no.”
Raon pointed to the window where the moonlight poured in.
“It’s time for everyone to wake up.”
-Aren’t they all your subordinates! wake up!
“I’m not a subordinate, and I have no intention of waking you up.”
He waved his hand at Lars to back off.
“I’ll eat something delicious as soon as the sun rises tomorrow. Be patient.”
-I endured for a week, how can I endure more!
“Then there is a better way.”
“I’m going to say something crazy again. It’s fun!
Lars snorted as if telling him not to be funny.
“Even if there’s a way to get back your lost week’s meals?”
-Hey, get the week’s meals back? what a way!
As soon as I said that I would get a week back, Lars jumped up like a rabbit.
Raon smiled and untied the wrapping cloth placed on the table. Seven well-ripe brown breads appeared in a round shape.
“Nadin Bread that makes you full all day long just by eating one. Seven of these can get you back your lost week.”
-Whoa… .
The light disappeared from Lars’ eyes, and black darkness shook.
-You are a human who shouldn’t exist in this world… .
The guy rushed at it, raising the rage and cold that had subsided to a size never seen before.
-Dwelling!
That night. Raon’s stats increased by 2 points.
* * *
The office of Robert Family House, where the soft moonlight pours down.
The hands of Derus Robert, who was working on the paperwork like a machine, stopped abruptly. His cool gaze moved to the back of the hand holding his quill.
pop.
Bright red blood flowed from the sword scar on the back of his hand, which seemed to have hardened, and dripped onto the document. Blood smeared on the white paper, erasing the wet ink.
“It grew… Is it?”
Derus looked at the wound on the back of his hand and narrowed his eyes. It seemed that the traces that had not been erased for 20 years after being bitten by a dog had increased very minutely.
‘I’m in pain too… .’
In the meantime, I didn’t feel much pain even when the blood dripped, but today I even had quite a strong pain.
‘I said it was a curse.’
In order to erase this wound, he met priests, healers, wizards, and even shamans, but no one was able to fix it.
He said that there is a deep curse that will never be erased, and that the only way to resolve it is to resolve the grudge of the person concerned.
However, Raon, the person who applied the curse, died, and even the body was incinerated. Anyway, I thought that the curse placed on me by the soul was meaningless and ignored it, but today the wound opened for the first time.
‘Did the curse get stronger?’
The last shaman I met said that as if passing by, the stronger the curse, the bigger the wound.
It seemed that the curse Raon had left on this wound had become stronger.
“Funny. Was the resentment so deep that it haunted me even after death?”
Derus licked the blood flowing from the sword scar with his tongue and raised the corners of his mouth.
Woowook Huh.
When he put his hand on the paper, the white paper instantly burned to ashes. The desk and other papers were not touched, and only the papers with blood dripped on them were burned.
“Mattio.”
A black shadow rose from the floor at the gesture of Derus.
The shadow fluctuated like a moonlit lake and was shaped into a man wearing a black night suit and covering his face with a mask. He prostrated himself in front of Derus without a word.
“What about Raon Sieghart?”
“The line has been connected to the north. We are organizing the information based on the information coming in through the shadows and what we saw in the Gazelle River and Lohengrin Dungeon.”
“Didn’t you say you killed the four apostles in an ambush in Lohengrin Dungeon?”
“I couldn’t kill it, but it is said that it gave me a fatal wound.”
“okay. It was. It’s an ambush… .”
He smiled lightly and nodded.
“Tell it to the shadows of the north.”
Derus Robert looked at the wound on the back of his hand and raised the corner of his mouth.
“Treat the information about Raon Sieghart on the same level as Glenn Sieghart.”
“Did you say you were on the same level as Glenn?”
“He deserves that.”
Raon Sieghart is a monster who beheaded Tiller of the Civil Alliance at the age of 18 and broke the hearts of the four apostles. It was worth collecting information because he was not just a rumored prospect, but an existence that actually influenced the situation on the continent.
“All right.”
Mattio nodded and turned into a shadow as he had appeared before disappearing.
“Hmm.”
Derus turned his chair and looked at the moonlight pouring through the window.
“Raon. what is your true identity? Are you just a genius? or not… .”
* * *
Raon ate a large breakfast and headed to the gymnasium to relieve Lars’ anger.
When I opened the door and entered, I saw Gwangpungdan swordsmen who were eager to train in the morning.
“uh?”
“Raon!”
“The sober manager has arrived!”
“It’s only coming in a week.”
The members of the Gwangpungdan waved their hands as soon as they saw Raon. Looking at the smiles on their faces, everyone seemed to be confident in their achievements.
“surely… .”
Raon looked into the eyes of the Gwangpungdan swordsman and smiled.
‘I deserve to be confident.’
They were all different people from a week ago, probably because they trained so hard that they died. He took a good rest, so his eyes were clear and his whole body seemed to be full of energy. He didn’t even see a growl growling like a mad dog.
‘The passion must have flared up after defeating the war troopers.’
A week ago, I couldn’t sleep, and I was tired, so I must have been crazy, but I would have been enthusiastic after taking a break and realizing that I had beaten the electric team. Because the joy of victory inspires the spirit more than drugs.
Enjoying the strong momentum of Gwangpungdan, Raon went up to the podium and stood next to Dohae.
“Commander. You worked hard.”
“They’re the ones who do a lot of work, but they weren’t bad.”
He nodded his head as if he was also satisfied with the time.
“Where has Danju gone?”
“I do not know. I can’t even see the nose.”
“okay.”
It wasn’t surprising since he was that kind of person. He nodded his head, wondering where he was gambling.
Raon stood at the end of the podium and looked into the eyes of the swordsmen of Gwangpungdan. I could feel the serious will and strength in the eyes flowing with energy.
“Good work everyone. It’s more than I expected.”
“Wowaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
When I smiled and nodded, everyone in the Gwangpungdan cheered.
“Raon is handsome again.”
Runaan closed his eyes and let out a sigh of relief.
“He has a conscience too.”
Martha smiled and held the back of her head with her clasped hands. She pretended to be relaxed, but she must have been anxious. A drop of sweat ran down her forehead.
“I-I stayed… I guess?”
Burren, who had nailed additional training from the start, lowered his head with a pale expression.
“It’s finally over!”
“Ahhhh, alive! I live!”
“It is worthwhile to endure without dying.”
“Ugh, I thought you were really going to die.”
“It’s good to be strong, but people need to rest.”
Gwangpungdan swordsmen also smiled at the thought that their hell training was over.
“What have you been doing, Danju Assistant Manager?”
Dorian, whose complexion was as bright as her hair, raised her hand. A sweet smile bloomed on her lips, as if she thought the training was over.
“That’s a good question.”
Raon looked at Dorian and nodded.
“I didn’t leave my room for a week.”
“Is there even such a thing as probation?”
“I know. You can go around the annex as you like.”
“Anyway, it’s tight.”
The Gwangpungdan member shook his head, saying that it was too much like the manual.
“That’s not it. I was so focused on my seniority that I lost track of time. A week passed, but it felt like not even a day had passed. Thanks to that, I felt something.”
Raon looked at the pupils of the Gwangpungdan members one by one and raised his lips.
“That there is no limit to concentration and stamina. I realized that there is a higher place above the top of the mountain that I thought was the end.”
“uh… .”
“hmm?”
“that… .”
The members of the Gwangpungdan felt that something was going wrong and rolled their eyes.
“Originally, a fire burns big when it has good firewood. I could not become the firewood to burn you properly.”
Raon clenched his fists. He wanted to make the Gwangpungdan feel the extreme concentration and joy he felt while making the ring of fire.
-Yes, do you not have a human heart?
Lars noticed Raon’s thoughts first, and his chin trembled.
“What is that bastard saying right now!”
“You’re going to do more training, I guess?”
“Raon?”
Marta, Burren, and Runan also swallowed dry saliva when they saw Raon’s eerie eyes.
“I promise. From today, I will help you push your limits to the limit. Our goal is simple.”
Raon raised his index finger straight up.
“A lower level of expert becomes an intermediate level, and an intermediate level becomes an upper level. The upper level is the highest level. During the three months of the new year, you will go beyond your limits.”
“… … .”
At those words, the gymnasium was filled with silence. As if not even air was flowing, only rough breathing came from here and there.
Srrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
What followed after that was the sound of a sword being pulled out. It wasn’t a training sword, but 30 real swords were pulled out at the same time.
“Kill. You have to kill him right now.”
“If we don’t kill that, we die… .”
“3 months? I can’t go for three days and I’m going to dry up… .”
“Krrrr… .”
“Growl!
The members of the Gwangpungdan raised their lives by looking up at Raon. As if they had gone back a week ago, there were overflowing members growling like beasts.
Koo Goo Goo!
Burren took a slashing blade stance, Martha raised her Titan’s aura to full power, and Runaan’s frost started to freeze the ground silver.
“Ei-i-i-ik! I don’t want to die!”
Dorian took out a 3m long harpoon used for hunting large monsters from his stomach pocket and installed it.
“Aaaaaaa!”
“Kill!”
“I must kill you unconditionally!”
Raon resonated with the seven rings of fire as he saw the members of the Gwangpungdan screaming and running. He smiled and nodded in satisfaction.
“Voluntary participation is always welcome.”
* * *
Lohengrin’s dungeon where Raon destroyed the entrance and exit so that no one could enter.
The sound of hard shoes came from the lowest floor where Lohengrin’s bones remained.
again. again. again.
With sharp footsteps, a black robed entity stood in front of the lab.
When he raised his white hand, the stone wall that could only be opened with Glacia disappeared, revealing the whole view of the laboratory.
Rob’s being entered the lab and inhaled deeply, then exhaled. Blue eyes shimmered in the robes that were just covered in darkness.
“Ras?”
