Episode 662
“Uh, Mom’s?”
Martha’s fingertips were shaking. The sword he was holding fell and hit the ground.
“okay. your mother No, the traces of the white blood cult were discovered.”
He lowered his eyebrows slightly, as if he was not sure what to call him.
“…Where is it?”
Martha clutched her aching heart and chewed her lip.
“It’s south. “They say they destroyed the Sword Kingdom, which is close to the Beast League.”
Denier touched his forehead and let out a long sigh.
“It is said that three knights were wiped out, and the king was also killed.”
“Ugh…”
Marta clenched her fists with trembling hands.
“That devilish bitch…”
The body controlled by the white blood cult leader is my mother’s.
The thought of slaughtering hundreds of people with my mother, who lived a stubborn life but did not recklessly engage in violence, made me so angry that my heart felt like it would explode.
“Why did that bitch attack the Sword Kingdom?”
“It’s not exactly clear yet, but it seems like they were trying to rob the kingdom’s relics. “Seeing as the King is dead, it must have been a success.”
Denier shook his head, saying it was not a good situation.
“Then where is the White Blood Cult leader now?”
“As soon as the Beast League Lord heard that the Sword Kingdom was attacked, he personally tracked him down, but he said he had already disappeared.”
“I guess so…”
Even if you were the leader of the Beast League, it was almost impossible to track down and catch the leader of the White Blood Cult from a long distance.
“Are you okay?”
Denier grabbed Martha’s shoulder as she lowered her head.
“You asked me to tell you about the activities of the White Blood Cult, so I did some research, but I’m not sure if this is the right decision.”
“no. It’s something I really need. thank you. father.”
Martha chewed her lip, clutching the shaking necklace.
‘okay. ‘I really need to know.’
You need to know what the white blood cult leader did with your mother’s body and who he killed so that you can ask for forgiveness in the future.
Because I haven’t given up on saving my mom yet.
“There is one good news though.”
Denier looked at Marta and raised a finger.
“Good news?”
“okay. “Didn’t you say that the white blood cult leader is still wearing your mother’s necklace?”
“that’s right. So I was able to recognize it.”
Baekhyeol Gyoju was similar to her mother, but had a much prettier and younger appearance. If it weren’t for the necklace, it would have been difficult to recognize.
“The answer from the great sorcerer Balaam has come back. “The white blood cult leader said that the reason he is wearing that necklace is because he was unable to completely erase your mother’s spirit.”
Denier nodded, looking at the necklace Martha was holding.
“If heavenly luck reaches us, we may be able to drive out the spirit of the white blood cult leader.”
“Really?”
“okay. However, the possibility is very low.”
“That’s it. “That’s all.”
Marta nodded, picking up the sword that had fallen on the floor.
‘I can save my mother…’
Although my goal of killing the white blood cult leader was clear, I had no idea how to save my mother.
When I heard the sound that could solve my greatest suffering, my heart began to beat violently.
“How can I save my mom?”
“They say you are important because you are a blood relative of the fetish that is imbued with the magic of Gaebyeok. “I have already requested that item.”
Denier took a breath as he looked at Marta’s shaking eyes.
“Balaam is sure to get the job done as he is crazy about money. “You can trust me.”
“father. thank you.”
Marta lowered her head without looking Denier in the eyes.
“I will definitely pay you back sometime.”
Balaam is the most profitable shaman on the continent. Since it must have cost an astronomical amount of money, I couldn’t end it with words of gratitude.
“It is something that a father must naturally do.”
Denyer shook her head and hugged Marta, whose shoulders were shaking.
“…Thank you very much.”
Marta closed her eyes, feeling the warmth of the denier.
‘Meeting you was my greatest opportunity.’
If it weren’t for Denier, I would have died on the street instead of coming to Sieghardt. Thanks to him, he received the name Sieghart and was able to meet Raon and Gwangpungdae, so it was a debt he would have to repay for the rest of his life.
“But Martha?”
“yes?”
“If I’m not mistaken, I think you cheated…”
Denier tilted his head as if it was strange.
“that’s right.”
Marta looked up at Denier and nodded.
“Raon created a new martial arts school. It’s called Gwangpungryu…”
I told Denier about Gwangpungryu made by Raon and how the entire Gwangpungdae fell into a trance.
“Gwangpungryu….”
Denier muttered Gwangpungryu’s name as he examined the sword marks left behind by Marta.
“Could you possibly show me?”
“Sure. “But I don’t have much energy left, so it won’t last long.”
Marta took a step back from Denier and activated a blast wave.
With the wind of the Titan’s aura wrapped around him, he unfolded the martial arts sword he had learned from Denier.
Couuuuuuuuck!
The heavy weight of the sword was imbued with sharpness and speed, creating a higher level of power.
“how is it?”
Marta unfurled her martial arts sword one after another and raised her chin.
“Could it be martial arts using extra senses?”
Denier’s eyes widened in surprise.
“that’s right. “It moves as I think, but the wind itself has its own will and resides in the sword.”
“Huh…”
Denier swallowed dryly, as if he was genuinely surprised.
“Raon really created this martial arts school?”
“I created that in just one week. We were all surprised too. “It’s amazing how that gambler trained instead of going to the gambling house.”
Marta smiled, saying that she was an uneducated person who even made Rimmer train.
“Hmm…”
She nodded as she looked at the wind that had disappeared from her hand.
“The wind is all gone. “I need to go in and do some exercises.”
“okay. “Go and see.”
When Denier nodded, Marta bowed and turned her back.
At that moment, Denier’s eyes sank into an empty color. The interest, love, surprise and embarrassment I had shown my daughter melted away like watercolors in the rain.

After finishing an uncomfortable meal with Glenn, Raon headed to Sylvia’s hospital room.
“Raon!”
Sylvia woke up from the bed wearing military uniform, not a patient gown.
“mom. “Why are you wearing a military uniform?…”
“Today is your discharge day, Madam.”
Helen smiled as she folded the hospital gown that Sylvia was wearing.
“My son, who has one son, doesn’t even know his mom is discharged from the hospital, and comes to visit him once a week…”
Sylvia sniffled, saying she was sad.
“I told you that it would take some time to teach martial arts to the children…”
Raon touched the back of Sylvia’s neck as she looked at Sylvia’s eyes.
-Tsk tsk!
Lars clicked his tongue and shook his head.
-This is why it is said that raising angels is of no use!
It clung to Sylvia and flicked its tail.
-Mom, you don’t have to worry! This King will serve you till the end!
Lars grabbed Sylvia’s shoulder, saying that the real child was here.
“I’m kidding.”
Sylvia smiled brightly and waved her hand.
“Because I know better than anyone else that you are busy. So, did you convey the Gwangpungryu well?”
“yes. Luckily…”
Raon told the story of how the entire Gwangpungdae fell into a trance.
“Well, they all went into a trance? “Can something like that happen?”
Sylvia also widened her eyes, saying it was her first time hearing such a thing.
“It was something I didn’t expect.”
Raon waved his hand and sat down next to Sylvia.
“When I hear that the kids are in a trance, my body feels stiff.”
Sylvia rolled her shoulders and said that she wanted to be discharged from the hospital right away and start training.
“yes. You have to train and teach Hwigwangryu.”
“Hmm…”
At those words, Helen wrapped her fingers in her hair.
“young master. “Can we really learn this too?”
“huh. We made it easy for you to learn even if you are late in getting into martial arts. “It won’t be that difficult.”
Raon laughed, saying that he could just trust Sylvia and go.
“Wow, I didn’t know I would learn martial arts at this age. “I’m excited but also nervous.”
Seeing Helen shaking her hands reminded me of what happened with Glenn.
“Oh, there was one more unusual thing today.”
“Something unusual? “Is there anything more unusual than the entire Gwangpungdae falling into a trance?”
“yes. “The head of the family…”
He told me what happened with Glenn before coming to the hospital.
“Huh…”
Helen reacted first and let out a rough breath.
“Go, have a meal with the matriarch! lady! Doesn’t this mean that the matriarch wants to get closer?”
“Um, well…”
Contrary to expectations, Sylvia was not surprised and smiled lightly.
“Raon.”
“yes?”
“If something similar happens, please treat the matriarch kindly.”
“Say, will you buy it?”
“huh. “Warmly.”
She said please and grabbed his shoulder.
“That’s impossible…”
Just as I was about to say that it was difficult, the door to the hospital room burst open.
The people who opened the door and came in were Encia and Siyan, who had left for the Yonan family to write a biography of Raon Sieghart.
“mother!”
“Gwae, are you okay?”
The two ran to Sylvia and Helen and looked at various parts of their bodies.
“are you okay. “It’s all better.”
Sylvia smiled brightly and raised her arms.
“sorry! “The news came too late because we were in a secret room!”
“I’m sorry.”
Encia cried, saying she didn’t even know that a friend from the non-banquet had sent her the information. Siyan also said sorry and bowed his head.
“no. “I was actually glad you were away.”
Sylvia smiled and said it was good that you didn’t have to suffer.
“mother!”
“Poetry, Sylvia.”
Encia rushed at Sylvia, and Siyan whimpered, covering her face with her long hair.
Raon smiled slightly as he looked at that.
‘okay. ‘I was glad it wasn’t there.’
Encia is a master who will inherit the Yonan family, and Siyan is a high elf of Seifia and a contractor of the Spirit King.
Killuan would have been really tired if he had touched those two.
‘By the way…’
Can’t you see me?
Normally, he would have found me before Sylvia and shouted goodbye, but he was so sorry that he didn’t even care about me. It was definitely something I wanted, but it made me feel a little bitter.
-You bastard.
Lars seemed to understand that thought and shook his head.
“So have you finished writing the book?”
“yes! It will soon be published across the continent!”
“Can you show me?”
“Sure!”
Encia took out a book with a very luxurious cover and handed it to Sylvia.
In the center it was written “Raon Sieghardt Biography Volume 2,” and the cover was dark green. Just looking at the book sent a shiver down my spine.
“Can I have a look too?”
Raon swallowed dry saliva and approached Encia and Siyan.
“uh? Raon! “How long have you been here?”
“omg!”
Encia approached with a bright smile, and Siyan hid behind her.
“You look great today too! “It’s so nice to have a slightly peeled forehead!”
She smiled, covering her red cheeks.
“I heard everything! “Haegeomji!”
Encia quenched her appetite.
“I’m going to write the next volume up to Haegeomji! Perfect for use in electricity! “It’s a true legend!”
“huh. huh.”
Siyan nodded as if it was obvious.
“Uh, um…”
“Oh, you asked for a book, right? “Of course I have to give it to you.”
Encia took out two volumes of Raon Sieghardt’s biography from her subspace pocket and handed them to her. This too was a stiff new book.
“…thank you.”
Raon opened the book with his name written on it with trembling hands.
[When Raon Sieghardt shouted, Kaibar the Light Dragon was frightened and hid in the depths of the sea, trembling with disgust.] [When
Raon Sieghardt pulled out the divine sword containing the breath of the sun, the sea split in half, The body of Kaibar the Light Dragon, hidden at the bottom of the sea, was revealed.]
[Khaibar the Light Dragon sensed defeat, and he knelt down to ask for forgiveness, saying he would sacrifice all the wealth he had gathered so far.] [
Raon Sieghart did not fall for the temptation of the Light Dragon . didn’t He lifted the magic sword wrapped in moonlight and cut off the light dragon’s head in one fell swoop. At that moment, as if God was blessing, the treasures that Kaibar had hidden poured down as rain.]
Raon closed his eyes tightly after reading the light dragon section.
‘I hide in disgust, the sea splits in half, the dragon kneels, and treasure falls as rain?’
Nothing was normal.
‘Why did it get worse when Siyan went with me!’

An area where mountains and rivers meet and the sunlight shines beautifully.
His father, Roman, drove the handle of an ax into a gravel field full of large and small stones.
He picked up a pebble as round as a coin and swept the red ax blade down. The gravel broke into four pieces before the blade could be sharpened a second time.
Roman picked up a new pebble and sharpened the ax again. This time, after five sweeps, the gravel turned to dust.
He concentrated so hard that he couldn’t even hear his breathing, as if sharpening an ax blade with gravel was an important task.
Roman’s hand did not stop even when the sun in the sky had set and the sparks that exploded when pebbles brushed against the blade brightened the darkness.
Roman stopped only after turning over a thousand pebbles into sand. He nodded with satisfied eyes and gestured with his chin.
“Come out now.”
“Since when did you know?”
An old man with gray-white hair walked out from the shadow of the mountain.
The old man’s face was covered with deep wrinkles, but his body showed strong muscles as if it were made of rock.
But what really sets him apart is his strong, lightning-like spirit. A huge wave created by the union of the spirits was covering the space like a cloud.
“What’s going on? “Vice-lord.”
Roman did not answer the old man’s question and just turned his gaze away.
“I came here because I was curious about how the preparations were going.”
The old man called Vice Lord briefly shook his head.
“I don’t know whether preparations are going well or not. “But it’s been a long time since I looked forward to a life-or-death situation this much.”
Roman calmly turned his wrist, saying he was just enjoying it.
“I heard that that young bastard obtained the martial arts of the Sword Zone?”
“I heard it too.”
He nodded calmly.
“But it has nothing to do with me.”
“How can it be okay to face life or death with that young bastard?”
“The important thing is not him, but myself.”
Roman nodded with calm eyes and took the pebbles in his hands again.
“So does that mean you are confident of winning?”
“Of course.”
As a warrior with the nickname “King,” he spoke of his victory without the slightest hesitation.
“Confidence is good. okay. “You have to win with that confidence.”
“What does that mean?”
“You are the third spear of the North-South alliance. “Wouldn’t it be a shame to lose to Sieghardt’s brat who has just passed his terms of service?”
The deputy leader’s lips twisted and went up.
“If that happens, I won’t be able to stay still.”
“Vice leader. “You can’t believe it…”
“I’m different from the stupid senator. I don’t move because of grudges or anything like that. “It’s just for Meng’s sake.”
He bowed his head, saying he would look forward to it.
“It’s a matter of life and death for me and Raon Sieghardt. Even if you lose, don’t ever move!”
Roman cast a fierce look at the vice-leader as if warning him.
“You can win, right?”
The vice-lord waved his hand lightly, as if telling him to focus only on life and death, and then turned his back.
“Stop going.”
At those words, a young man with red hair walked out from behind the tree on the right.
The young man’s energy, unlike that of his vice-lord, was calm and calm. It was as hazy as fog, as if it didn’t exist here.
However, when you look at it again, you get the feeling that it is covered in a strangely dark glow. It was a light that radiated warmth and coolness at the same time.
“Beorn…”
The young man called Beorn lowered his head with calm eyes like dying embers and followed behind his vice-lord.
Roman looked at Beorn’s back and wrinkled his eyebrows.
‘Not only the vice-lord, but I still don’t like that guy either.’
It’s not because Beorn destroyed Lecter. I had no idea what the guy was thinking.
‘Same yet different.’
Raon and Beorn both had incredible talent and eyes that were redder than blood.
But the two people’s eyes were completely different.
When you see Raon’s passionate eyes, you automatically have expectations and a crush on him, but Beorn is the exact opposite. When I looked into its quiet eyes, I felt creepy and uncomfortable.
“Whoa.”
I took a short breath to clear my head.
I picked up pebbles again and sharpened the ax blade. Perhaps due to lack of concentration, the pebbles crumbled into powder the second time, just like the first time.
Roman clicked his tongue and grabbed a new pebble. The sound of the ax blade grinding, along with the gently flowing river water, continued until the sun rose.
* * *
Raon ate his appetite while sitting in front of a luxurious round table that seemed to have a shadow on it.
‘I don’t have any good missions today.’
At the Daeju meeting, I tried to choose a mission that would give Gwangpungdae some real combat experience, but there wasn’t anything that really appealed to me.
‘Reconnaissance, investigation, search…’
Several major incidents have occurred recently, but most of them were in the south and center, so there was not much for Sieghart to worry about.
‘Is there anything else?’
I looked at Chad, hoping for a mission that would allow me to fight, even if it was to subdue bandits.
“Then let me tell you my next mission.”
Chad opened the document and glanced briefly in this direction.
“It is said that various monsters are gathering around Mount Divarn. “Seeing as there is even Etin, it seems like a pretty strong king was born.”
“King…”
Most monsters move in tribal units. Even if they are of the same race, if they are of different tribes, they engage in fierce territorial battles.
However, there are times when monsters move as one regardless of tribe or race. king. It is when a king who can encompass all races is born.
‘This is it.’
If there was even a strong Ettin among the large monsters, it seemed like a strong king had been born, as Chad said.
“If you are in charge of the task of subduing the monsters of Divarn Mountain, please raise your hand.”
Because it was the most important mission so far, all executives who were not assigned to the mission raised their hands.
Raon also raised his hand without hesitation.
“Great Lord Gwangpung will soon have to face a life-or-death situation. Do you have time to do your duty?”
“I know. Wouldn’t it be better to do some personal training?”
Direct executives gave me subtle looks as if telling me to put down my hands.
Since I don’t have the confidence to overpower them with force like I used to, I’ve only used my mouth to get on their nerves. The absence of Aris seemed to have played a role.
“I’ll take care of my own business, so don’t worry about it.”
Raon showed a cool look towards his immediate executives.
“Uhm…”
“Uh, uh…”
The immediate executives couldn’t meet Raon’s eyes and lowered their gaze.
However, he immediately approached Jinmujeonju Balder, as if he had no intention of giving up his control.
“Why don’t you come forward yourself, Jeonju?”
“yes. “If Jeonju comes forward, that guy will have no choice but to put down his hands.”
“This might be the best mission out today.”
The immediate executives stuck to Balder instead of Karun and bowed their heads as if asking him to use their strength.
“Hmm…”
Balder lifted his hand, licking his lips. When Jeonju raised his hand, the others sighed and lowered their hands.
“also! “It’s Balder!”
“Everyone will be thrilled by Jeonju’s bravery!”
The immediate executives grinned and laughed at Raon.
Raon frowned. Since mission assignment is determined by status and power, there was no answer as long as Balder moved.
I clicked my tongue and was about to put my hand down when Balder pointed in this direction with the hand he was holding.
“If everyone misses, I’ll give this mission to the Great Lord of Gwangpung.”
Balder grinned and blinked one eye.
“uh…?”
Raon gaped as he saw Balder wink.
‘Why is that lump like that?’
