Chapter 257
Raon looked down at the red blade of the Requiem Sword, which seemed to have been dipped in a furnace. He seemed to be shouting that he wanted to become stronger with the endlessly ringing sword name.
‘You mean you can have the power of this long sword?’
The requiem sword trembled violently as if it were right.
-It’s bullshit.
Lars sneered as he looked down at the Requiem Sword from above his shoulder.
-Does a mean little creature have the ability to do that?
‘Is it that hard?’
– Your dagger was born to kill those trifles, so it’s only natural to erase their energy. but… .
Lars looked at the long sword lying on the floor with sad eyes.
– Absorbing the ability contained in that long sword is different. I don’t know if it’s the main king. How could such an insignificant thing do such a thing?
The boy waved his hand, saying it was nonsense.
-Don’t waste your time, go and solve the lingering feelings of the spectacled man.
“Hmm… .”
Leon looked back. Dorian was writing down the names of warriors and wizards, so there was still plenty of time.
‘There’s nothing to lose even if I do.’
I don’t know what kind of long sword it is or what name it has, but I know its ability.
magic stationmaster.
Most wizards use magic using a mana circle made in their heart. And this long sword causes a strange vibration from the blade, causing a slight obstacle to the flow of magic achieved by the Circle.
If the soul sword could really have that ability, it could have been very advantageous in the battle against the wizard.
Whoaaaaa!
Raon raised his black longsword. Even though he only grabbed it, the blood inside the long sword penetrated his body. Of course, I was kicked out without being able to do anything because I was crushed by the ring of fire.
‘What should I do?’
The requiem sword made a stronger echo as if excited.
“Awake? Is that just Yogi?”
The words came out in surprise. The requiem sword was telling me to break the blade of the sword with my own blade.
Whoops!
As if the requiem sword was certain, he rang the sword again.
-You got that ability by breaking the sword?
Lars muttered something stupid and turned his head away.
-It’s meaningless.
‘Be quiet.’
Raon ignored Ra’s words and raised the soul sword.
‘It’s not difficult.’
I don’t know if it’s breaking the long sword held by the four apostles. Breaking a still long sword was no different from eating cold soup.
Gooooo!
After raising the yogi of the soul sword as much as possible through the yogi adaptation, he struck it as it was.
Pakaaaang!
The long, dark blade of the long sword shattered like a piece of glass in the mighty spirit caused by the requiem sword.
Whoaaaaa!
Blood slowly rose from the fragmented sword. The black energy was sucked into the red blade of the Soul Sword without any resistance.
Whoops!
The requiem sword absorbed all the gases flowing out of the long sword, letting out a deep resonance as if it would not miss even the slightest bit of blood.
The requiem sword, which had absorbed all the energy of the long sword, was darker than before.
[The soul sword has accepted the energy of blood.]
[After the absorption ends, a new ability is created on the Soul Sword.]
Perhaps because it was his property, the system was also working with the Soul Sword.
– Wow!
Lars widened his eyes as he looked at the requiem sword.
-This, this will work? Something like that!
‘It must have been weak at first, as you said, but it gradually grew.’
As Ra’s said, the Soul Sword when we first met probably didn’t have this ability. He grew up by absorbing the blood of many white-blooded believers, and this time he had this ability because he drank the blood of the apostles and archbishops.
-Keuk, growth… .
Lars frowned. She seemed to be a little annoyed with the ability of the requiem sword, which she called a minor creature.
‘It must mean very great.’
Seeing that Lars’ reaction was like that, I thought it would be good to look forward to the ability that the soul sword will have.
“Hee, Hee! It’s over.”
Dorian approached after getting all the signatures. He was still holding the desk over his head.
“How long are you going to carry that?”
“Until the ghost leaves.”
He turned his head left and right, not seeing Lohengrin directly above him.
“But you seem to be in a good mood?”
“okay?”
“yes. You look very excited, just like when your training is going well.”
“It has to be.”
Raon grinned at the trembling blade of the Soul Sword.
Because it hit the jackpot.
* * *
Raon was guided by Lohengrin and reached the last floor of the dungeon where his laboratory was located. However, the room did not exist and the large wall was the end.
“Do you have anything?”
Dorian knocked on the wall, kicked it, but didn’t move.
Raon nodded. Even after spreading the feeling with Glacia and using the evil eye of anger, the wall behind the wall was just filled with rocks.
“Call the ghost quickly.”
Saying that, Dorian put the white wooden desk over his head.
[Whoops.]
Lohengrin smiled softly at the sight.
[You can’t find it, so now my side is alive.]
“You are here too.”
Lohengrin is a powerful wizard called a hero. No wonder he couldn’t find out his secret.
“How do I get in?”
[Simple. Please put your hand on the center of the wall and operate Glacia.]
“I can’t feel Glacia’s energy… .”
[Because I hid it. Give it a try.]
Raon nodded, put his hand on the wall, and operated Glacia.
Koo Goo Goo!
A blue chill seeped through the cracks in the rock, and the walls cracked open to reveal a white room.
“Huh, this… .”
I didn’t expect it to open like this because I couldn’t feel Glacia’s energy from the wall at all.
[I used cold air like the earth attribute.]
Lohengrin pointed at the wall and smiled.
“Like the land attribute?”
[yes. Doesn’t the God of Wrath use cold as a flame? Like that, it made the cold like a rock.]
It seemed that he had not merely changed the form of the cold air, but the flow itself. It seemed like a possible way because he was a wizard.
[Come in.]
Raon narrowed his eyes as he looked at Lohengrin’s lab.
‘It’s a little different from what I thought.’
Contrary to expectations, the laboratory was not very large and was neatly organized without a speck of dust. It was as if a purification magic had been cast.
In this state, elixirs and artifacts would be stored without rotting. It was fortunate.
The left wall was full of books, and the right side was filled with artifacts and materials of unknown purpose in a display case. And at the center… .
“Hey!”
Dorian screamed at the white bone lying on the desk. White Bone was wearing a blue robe embroidered with ice flowers, and round glasses flowed down.
[Hehe, this is embarrassing… .]
Lohengrin, the owner of the white bone, smiled embarrassedly and brushed his beard.
[I have to show you my embarrassing appearance.]
“no.”
As expected, Raon shook his head.
“Gwi, ghost, it’s the first time I see you. no, you’ll be here Well, thank you. Thanks for pointing the way! Eh, and sorry for being so arrogant, our sub-master!”
Dorian continued to bow his head at Lohengrin’s white bone as he hung over his desk.
[You are a good person.]
“But you are stupid.”
Raon smiled lightly and turned his head.
“Now tell me. What regrets do you have left?”
Looking around the lab, I couldn’t figure out what his lingering feelings were. He had to hear it through his mouth.
[The story will be long, so let’s finish with the priest’s purpose first.]
He asked me to take out a round golden orb and a neck glove in the middle of the display case.
[The bead is an artificial short circuit.]
“Artificial power supply?”
[yes. It’s an artifact for those who have broken or don’t have a Danjeon. Once connected to the mana circuit, it can be used like a real cut.]
“ah… .”
Raon licked his lips.
‘I can use this.’
Rimer’s Danjeon is already in a state of ruin. If you use this artificial short circuit, you can create a new short circuit for him.
[The downside is that you have to start over. Since the Danjeon itself is being replaced, you have to collect the Aura from the beginning again. I don’t know if it’s sewage. Even if it is short, it will be a difficult time for masters.]
‘surely… .’
It is not an ordinary thing to fill the aura in the Danjeon. If you are at the level of Limer, you will collect your aura much faster than others, but it will be very difficult during that time.
“Then what is this?”
Raon pointed to the neck armor.
[It’s a spirit ring that restores damage to the mana circuit.]
“The mana circuit… .”
[yes. The mana circuit is torn, and it restores the distorted state]
“okay.”
Now I feel relieved. With these two, Rimer could be restored. But I wanted something a little more.
“Do you know how to make these two?”
I wanted to restore Sylvia as well as Rimer, so I asked with a desperate heart.
[Hmm, there is a recipe for Youngryu-hwan, but I’m not sure I got it by chance, not myself. sorry.]
“no. Enough.”
Raon shook his head. For now, this is enough. Now that I knew there was an artifact like that, I’d be able to restore Sylvia someday.
“Now tell me. What is Lohengrin’s regret?”
[hmm… .]
Lohengrin paused, scratching his temples.
[I guess I have to go back a little bit to talk about that.]
He smiled lightly as he looked at his white bones.
[I am… .]
* * *
The city called Remia was destroyed overnight by the witch Merlin and her monsters.
My mother who always smiled and stroked my hair, my scary but kind father, and my friends who ran around the mountains and fields every day all became monster food in front of my eyes.
The knights who guarded the city were reduced to ashes by Merlin’s flame, and the wizards of the kingdom who rushed in were also annihilated by the witch’s magic pouring down like meteors.
Why did I survive then?
It was just because of Merlin’s desire to boast.
“Ah, I was so excited. If I kill them all, no one will tell me what I did.”
The madman told me to tell the continent that he had destroyed the city of Remia and left.
I was furious.
Angered at being left alone and not being able to die together, he cursed the witch.
He screamed and screamed that he could sell his soul to the devil if he could avenge the madman.
then he appeared
whether it’s a man or a woman No, a gigantic being that you can’t even tell whether it’s a demon or a god. The real sky, which is different from the witch who destroyed this city, has descended.
he asked what was going on
My mouth opened naturally against my will.
He listened to all the stories and put on a sad expression.
Turning around as if leaving, he let go of his strength, saying he liked my last words. The power of frost to avenge the witch.
– I can’t do anything with this alone. If your anger is sincere, try it. Kill that distant thing with your own hands.
Witch Merlin.
-Anyway, if you explode your anger, your ability will grow stronger as well.
I asked him what he wanted from me. He offered to offer his soul as well, but he was refused.
-soul? you’re F*cking don’t need
I grabbed him and asked him to tell me what else he wanted.
-Study the power the king gave you! stop bothering me!
He left those words and disappeared, and I also left the city that was burnt to ashes.
His powers were mysterious. He just got it, and he learned to use it as naturally as breathing.
Wandering the continent, fighting during the day and studying magic and cold at night. After many days and nights, when it started to make a name for itself, I despaired again.
A stark difference from the witch Merlin. One of her continent’s strongest, she howled at the difference between her and her worst witch.
Then He appeared again.
– What bullshit are you talking about? If you are weak, be strong. Even if you devote all four hours, it will be enough if you become strong and kill.
It was a very simple story, but to you and me, it sounded like a revelation from God.
-Why are you bothering me so much with a crappy guy who asks for a push rod or something?
Witch Merlin.
-Anyway, stop worrying about the poor guy you’d kill with the king’s snort. It’s over when you get stronger.
He said he was pathetic, clicked his tongue and disappeared.
got stronger I practiced, studied, fought and fought again.
He had grown to the point where he wouldn’t be pushed back much even if he fought Merlin, but there was a problem.
Many strong people and monsters were following her. She could never win alone.
Gather people to attack the witch’s castle. A small number of vengeful people gathered like him, but most shook their heads, saying they could never win.
Everyone said you can’t, give up revenge.
Even my close friends said that, and even I lost my strength. I doubted if I could really get revenge, and I spent the night drinking. When the meeting for revenge was gradually fading away, he came again.
– I really can’t see it. If there are many people who are afraid of that sickness, wouldn’t it be enough if you become stronger and put everyone on their knees?
Witch Merlin.
-Those who say they can’t do it are losers. They are worms who have already bowed their knees to the world. Go with those who say you can. Because you have potential.
He waved his hand at me to stop bothering me and disappeared.
Merlin, the Witch of Betrayal who spread fear across the continent. She couldn’t even remember her name, and thanks to him who said she was nothing, her fears and fears disappeared.
I didn’t listen to what others said. As he said, he thinks it’s not a big deal, builds his strength, and gathers colleagues who believe he can do it.
Let’s move with confidence, people who said no gathered, and people who left came back.
And on that day, exactly 40 years after the city of Remia was burned by Merlin.
My colleagues and I destroyed the witch’s castle and ended Merlin’s life.
The whole world cheered, and we became heroes.
But none of that mattered to me.
I was satisfied with the fact that I succeeded in revenge that everyone shouted was impossible and comforted the dead.
A year later, when the situation was over, he came back.
-It’s over now, it’s really slow.
He didn’t even say that he did a good job, but he smiled because he was like him.
I said I would give my soul to him. Because he cried out that he wanted to take revenge on the devil even if he gave his life in this world and the other world.
-You’re talking nonsense again.
He sneered and waved his hand.
-I don’t need a poor soul like you. Your anger has become the king’s snack, so that’s enough.
It was absurd. As I grew stronger, I knew that the being in front of me was neither a human nor a god. He thought he would get my soul, of course, but he didn’t want anything. I just said it was fun.
-You got that multi too, now live your life. glasses jab.
He disappeared without remembering Merlin’s name until the end. I couldn’t even say thank you, but he left without taking the strength I gave him, let alone my soul. he knew then That he is the true God of mine.
I enjoyed the world for a year and made a dungeon.
reason?
Simple. Glacia’s study, which was a request she had held on to by her clothes.
I was forced to listen to that too, but I wanted to hear it at least.
He researched harder than when he was preparing for revenge and used Glacia’s cold energy.
However, like the power created by God, it was so perfect. It was almost better to give up because it was almost certain that if it was poorly modified, it would be much worse than the original.
Of course I didn’t give up.
He dedicates all the remaining time to the one who gave strength and guided his spirit without any cost, creating a way to harden Glacia’s coldness.
It was only one of the ways to use cold air, but this was his limit.
Now, return the chill to him and say thank you, and you’re done.
But I couldn’t get in touch with him.
It wasn’t intentionally disconnected, the connection itself didn’t work.
waited
Even after 1, 10, and 20 years, I hadn’t been contacted, and my lifespan was coming to an end.
It was not a waste to die like this. It didn’t matter if the study disappeared.
It was just a pity that I couldn’t say thank you and erased it.
Could that lingering ignorance become a fire?
I was able to be reborn between death and life.
waited again
May he come back.
* * *
Raon lowered his head and bit his lip.
“Then your lingering feelings… .”
[yes. I’m going to say thank you to him, and I’m going to tell you how to operate Glacia, which I’ve modified in my own way.]
Lohengrin smiled and said that was all.
-That, that stupid bastard!
Lars jumped at Lohengrin, frowning.
-I told you to live your life if you dedicated your life to revenge!
Whether it was resentment or sadness, Lars’ fist trembled.
[I’m really glad that Raon came, not someone else.]
Lohengrin took Raon’s hand without seeing Lars right in front of him.
[How to operate Glacia is over there. The coldness I possess will return to him the moment I disappear.]
-You stupid spectacled bastard! Don’t think about that, just worry about you!
Lars gnashed his teeth, saying it was an idiot. Transparent beads formed in the boy’s round eyes.
[It’s nice to meet you. I really enjoyed it after a long time.]
Lohengrin’s blurry body began to slowly fade, as if that was all there was to it.
-hey! Roen Yellow!
‘Las.’
Raon grabbed Lars and frowned.
– Let go!
‘Are you going to send it like this?’
-what?
‘This is the last one, so are you going to send it off while being so angry?’
-Bo, the king is… .
‘I’ll lend you my body.’
I ate a big heart and said.
-what?
‘If you promise to return your body right away, I’ll lend you my body so we can talk.’
He believed in the Ras he had seen so far and the Ras who had impressed even such a hero.
– Big, no.
‘why?’
-The moment it enters your body, it will run out of control regardless of the king’s will.
‘ah… .’
Raon bit his lip. Lars had said before that he would run out of control because his soul and body had been detached for too long.
-instead… .
* * *
Lohengrin felt his body warm. He felt like his heart was beating, and blood was flowing in his blood, as when he had a physical body.
‘Now it’s really time to go.’
Is it because I have clearly sorted out my lingering feelings? relaxed. It was unfortunate that I couldn’t see Lars, but it was inevitable. He was content to express his gratitude to his priest.
I’m tired. For the first time since becoming this body, I felt tired. When I closed my eyes, it felt like I could never open them again.
It was the last time I was about to close my eyes when I saw a priest who somehow resembled him.
Quaaaaaaaa!
On Raon’s shoulder. No, his whole body was burning with blue flames of anger. His eyes flashed with the same amount of rage as when he first saw him.
– He is a fool.
[All, you… .]
It is certainly. He was the only one who had this energy, that noble yet vulgar way of speaking.
[Ra, Mr. Ras?]
“The king must have said it. live your life Who told you to do something stupid and frustrating like this?”
[Heh heh heh!]
A laugh came out. If it was him, I thought he would say that.
“What is funny! Glasses jab!”
[You don’t want to, but this is my way of life. Oh God.]
“Ever since I saw it before, I couldn’t help but feel pathetic. Dumb guy!”
Lohengrin just laughed at the curse. He smiled as if he was happy at this moment.
[Still, I was happy to meet you. Oh God.]
“… … .”
Lars didn’t answer for a moment. He smiled lightly and raised his head. A small warmth bloomed in the eyes of anger.
“Are you really happy?”
[I was happy thanks to you. thank you.]
“then… It became.”
Lars lightly shook his hand.
“Roen Yellow. Good job. Let’s see again.”
[yes!]
Lohengrin nodded immediately. He had a perfectly happy smile. He sank slowly, scattering blue frost like the soft starlight.
Raon calmed down the anger he received from Lars only after Lohengrin’s frost completely melted on his palm.
‘Are you satisfied?’
-thanks.
Lars nodded, saying thank you, which is rare. With his pupils, he followed the empty space where Lohengrin had disappeared. He’s really not like a demon king.
“Then the rest… .”
As I was about to tell Dorian to pack the remaining items, a message flashed before my eyes.
[The abilities of Lohengrin’s thoughts are absorbed.]
[The attribute <Water Affinity> will be created.]
[The knowledge of Glacia that Lohengrin possessed is engraved.]
[All stats increase by 6 points.]
-?
“?”
Raon and Lars tilted their heads at the same time.
-That, why is that to you… .
‘I don’t know.’
Naturally, Lohengrin’s ability, which he thought would go to Lars’ body, penetrated into his own body. I could feel the energy of Glacia accumulated in the Danjeon getting stronger.
– Oh no! Does this make sense! The original king should hand it over, and the original king should get it back! Why am I going to you!
‘You have to tell me… .’
– Hey son! If not you, tell someone!
Lars screamed that he couldn’t stand it any longer.
-Why did that go into your snout!
‘No, ooh, we liked it. With an impressive performance… .’
-shut up!
