Episode 749
Raon narrowed his eyes as he looked at the prosecutors filling the front of the main building.
It seemed like not only the heavy military but the entire Sieghardt family had gathered here.
“Did everyone come to see the heavy radio pole?”
“that’s right.”
Dorian swallowed the bread he was chewing and nodded quickly.
“If Jeongmu Jeonju ascends to transcendence, Sieghart will be the only one among the five
emperors to have three transcendents. Everyone is talking about Karun’s name, regardless of
whether they are inner, outer, or vassals.”
He also clenched his fists as if he was excited.
“hmm!”
Buren pursed his lips and trembled his shoulders, as if satisfied with his expectations for Karun.
-Bah, it’s bread!
Lars swallowed his saliva as he looked at the crumbs of bread that Dorian had spilled, as if
he didn’t care what happened to Karun.
‘Why are you doing this with just a piece of bread? .’
-It’s all because of you!
The guy screamed and ran towards me.
-The inside of your mouth is sore from eating so much bread every day! No matter what I eat, it only tastes like rubber!
Lars wore a white band around his head to protect human rights.
-Awaken! The king guarantees meal tickets… .
‘The devil’s human rights are a mess.’
Raon pushed Ras away who was yelling for him to wake up and walked in front of Gajujeon.
“If this continues, there won’t even be a place to look around, right?”
“My lord! Come over here!”
As I was looking for a spot with a good view, the crane that had come and been waiting for
me waved.
‘Anyway, there is no place left out.’
Raon grinned and approached the crane.
“Jungmu Jeonju has been in the throne room for over 30 minutes, so he will come out soon.”
Crane quenched his appetite, saying he would be able to check if he waited a little longer.
“Oh, what happened?”
Dorian swallowed dryly and clasped his hands together. He seemed to expect Karun to either ascend to transcendence or not.
“well.”
As Raon was touching his fingertips while looking at Burren who was nervous, the sound of restrained shoes was heard from inside the Gajujeon.
Jerk.
The sound of footsteps that focused all my senses grew louder, and Karun Sieghardt appeared, wearing a neatly ironed uniform.
“ah… .”
The moment I saw Karun’s red eyes, I realized it. He was now a being who had stepped into a different realm from himself.
-You went up.
Lars nodded as if confirming.
-The energy wave is already stable. It seems like you captured the idea and image quite well.
Although he didn’t like it, he acknowledged Karun’s achievement, saying it was a good result.
‘It looks that way.’
Raon nodded heavily.
‘It hasn’t changed. ‘He seems like a completely different person.’
In Karun’s calm eyes, a precise blade seemed to flash like a pendulum.
Even though it wasn’t as fierce and powerful as before, I got goosebumps.
‘I can’t win now.’
If he had fought a duel with Karun, who had reached the peak of Grand Master before entering the Room of Ego, the outcome would have been 50/50.
But I can’t win now. It was a sure defeat.
“Ah, father.”
Burren also felt the change in Karun’s mood and his lips trembled.
“It looks like we’ve made some progress.”
Karun noticed at once that Burren’s skills had improved and nodded calmly.
“Oh, no.”
Buren smoothed his bangs as if he was embarrassed.
“I guess it’s thanks to you.”
Karun’s gaze went beyond Burren to Raon standing behind him.
“thanks.”
“yes… ?”
Raon swallowed dryly and stepped back.
‘Did you say thank you? ‘That arrogant person?’
The hairs on my entire body stood up, as if I had heard curse words that I should not have heard.
“Even if that child has talent, it is difficult for him to grow in this short moment.”
Karun lowered his eyes and opened them, appreciating Raon’s teachings.
“This is the path that the 3rd team leader found on his own.”
Raon raised Buren and shook his head.
“is it.”
Unlike before, Karun seemed to be interested in Buren and nodded as he turned his gaze.
“Hey, father over there. In transcendence… .”
Burren took a step closer to Karun and asked the question everyone was curious about.
“I reached it.”
Karun nodded without hesitation.
“Ooooh!”
“Hey, Jeonju! Congratulations!”
“I knew you could do it!”
“Finally, Sieghart has a third transcendental person!”
The prosecutors and immediate subordinates of the heavy military unit gathered around Karun and cheered.
“also!”
“Congratulations!”
Since there was a war with Ouma and Sieghart was becoming stronger, swordsmen from other factions also gave heartfelt congratulations and applause.
“thanks.”
Karun’s personality seemed to have really changed, and he accepted people’s greetings in a
calm voice without being arrogant or overbearing.
“Raon Sieghardt.”
He accepted the congratulations of the people around him and approached Raon.
“Please speak.”
Raon looked into Karun’s eyes, which were as calm as the ocean, and let out a heavy breath.
“I’m ahead now, but someday I’ll catch up with you.”
Karun’s gaze was bluntly curved.
“… “There is still a long time left.”
Before entering the ego room, I would have had to cross an ocean to catch up with Karun now. It was in the distant future.
“No, you will definitely reach this realm in a moment not too far away.”
Karun shook his head as if he was convinced. I couldn’t understand why he was suddenly praising me and trying to lift me up.
“However, I cannot give up the throne.”
His calm eyes began to shake as if hit by waves.
“You are in the same state as me. Or even if I reach a higher level, Sieghart’s throne will be
mine.”
“Now that… .”
Raon widened his eyes. Now, Karun had declared in front of everyone that she would become Sieghart’s head of the family.
“okay. “It is a declaration.”
Karun nodded dryly, as if confident.
“Then you’ve come to the wrong person. “I have no desire for Sieghart’s throne.”
Raon calmly closed his eyes because he truly had no thoughts about the matriarch.
-That’s right!
Lars stood up and landed on his shoulder.
-This guy is only interested in swordsmanship! This is obsession and love!
The guy waved both his hands, asking for some attention to the food.
“no. “You and I will cross swords before the golden throne.”
Karun smiled confidently, as if he had seen the future.
“will wait.”
He modestly lowered his hand and headed towards the heavy radio station.
“Hey, Jeonju!”
“Please wait!”
The heavy security inspectors and immediate subordinates looked at Raon once in a while and then followed Karun.
“Raon.”
Burren looked at Karun’s back and clenched his fists.
“My goal to be recognized by my father has not changed.”
“I know.”
“Sophisticated and disciplined swordsmanship that is unbecoming of a Sakpung sword.”
He smiled with confidence.
“I won’t give up. “I will make sure to harmonize it.”
Buren seemed to have made up his mind and returned to the 5th training camp instead of the heavy combat unit.
As expected, the reason he could not give up his noble swordsmanship seemed to be his respect for Karun.
‘Father and son… .’
Raon quenched his appetite as he watched Karun and Buren leaving on the other side.
Because he never experienced his father in his second life, he felt like he would never be able to understand him.
‘by the way… .’
I lowered my eyebrows, remembering Karun’s red eyes filled with confidence.
‘Why did Karun say he was fighting with me for the position of head of the family?’
What did you see… .
* * *
Raon went to Gaju’s training center before midnight. Unlike usual, Glenn came to the training ground first and was looking up at her night sky.
“See you, matriarch.”
Raon bent his waist towards Glenn’s back.
“They said you met Karun.”
Glenn turned his back. He smiled slightly as if he was aware of his conversation with Karun.
“yes. “He has reached transcendence.”
Raon nodded, recalling Karun’s calm yet sharp spirit.
“How did you see it?”
“It was quiet, but it felt like I was looking at a forest at night, not knowing what might pop
up.”
“You saw it right.”
Glenn waved his hand, saying he had a good sense of vision.
“I expected to reach transcendence, but I achieved more than I expected. “That child’s talent has finally blossomed.”
He laughed and said something similar to Lars. Since the two were in the same state, their views seemed similar.
“Raon. “Can you reach it?”
“yes.”
Raon answered without hesitation and lowered his head.
“It’s definitely a long and high mountain, but it’s not so much that you can’t climb it.”
I definitely felt it after seeing Karun today. Transcendence was certainly far away, but it was not an unreachable sky.
“That’s your answer.”
Glenn put his hands together, saying it was the answer he expected.
“But Karun talked about being the head of the family. Are you really not interested in the throne?”
“yes.”
Raon gave a short answer this time and lowered his gaze.
“My biggest goal was to put my mother in the line of succession. I wouldn’t know if the position of head of the household was needed for that. “It’s not something I have in mind right now.”
“okay. “That would have been enough.”
Glenn also nodded, saying that he was not forced to take on the position of head of the family.
“Then what you’re curious about now is the ego’s room.”
He walked forward with his back to me.
“Unfortunately, it looks like Ego’s room won’t be available for a while.”
Glenn scolded Karun for taking too much.
“Better think about writing it next year.”
“All right.”
Raon bowed. His bones ached, but he accepted it calmly, as it was what he had expected after seeing Karun.
“Then let’s start training today. “The swordsmanship I will teach you this time is the magic
sword.”
Glenn pulled out his Jincheon sword with a serious attitude.
“This is Choi Sang-seung’s sword technique that was leaked from Seonggeomryeon. “No
matter how much you do, you will have to suffer quite a bit.”
He aimed his sword at the sky as if to make preparations.
Slurp.
Raon erased his thoughts about Karun and the throne that had reached transcendence, and calmly raised his sword. His red eyes burned quietly like a residual fire.
“I’m ready.
* * *
A tall woman walks through a huge forest that rises arbitrarily as if it were filled with the sea.
Because he was wearing a black orc helmet, his face was not visible, but his skin was white
and elastic, making him look younger than young.
Following the steps of a woman wearing an orc helmet, the bushes split, and tree branches
open the path. The forest itself seemed to welcome the woman, as if she were an elf.
But what’s even more interesting are the beings that follow women. The monsters that grew
in her fertile forests and lands began to chase her, slowly forming her forces.
From goblins, kobolds, orcs, and gnolls to large monsters like trolls and ogres. The monsters that were supposed to fight each other to the death were only advancing as if possessed by ghosts.
Whi profit!
The man in the green snake helmet who was watching the strange sight whistled.
“As expected, the awakened king is different.”
He let out an exclamation as if he was genuinely surprised.
“The effect is more amazing than using the mask spell. “Is this why you brought me here?”
“no. “I didn’t know?”
The two-headed ear next to him shook his head as if wondering what he was talking about.
“The mother’s blood is good, so I thought it would be useful as a red or green demon, so I b
rought it here. “I didn’t know that they would control not only the green skins, but also the monsters themselves.”
He laughed, saying he was just caught.
“You’re lucky. Including that one.”
The man in the green snake helmet pointed to the Soul Sword that was watching behind him.
“Oh, I brought that after seeing it.”
The two-headed ears looked back and curled the corners of their mouths.
“Even though his auror skills were weak, his swordsmanship was at an insane level.”
He whetted his appetite and said he wanted to fight again.
“You guys are still perverts.”
The man in the green snake helmet snorted and relaxed his arms.
“We need to adjust the time a bit, because if we gather too quickly, they might come.”
“I know.”
The two-headed ears waved their hands and told him not to worry.
“I wonder how many forces will gather, but I guess I’ll have to go. “There’s a lot of work to
do.”
The man in the green snake helmet frowned and disappeared, saying he was the only one busy in Eden.
Goooooh.
As the man in the green snake helmet left, the sword’s fingertips trembled and he followed
behind the woman in the orc helmet.
The two-headed ears looked at the back of the Soul Sword and laughed as if it was fun.
“Is it instinct? or not… .”
* * *
Late at night, close to midnight.
Raon smiled slightly as he looked at the dozens of sword lights illuminating the darkness of
the 5th training camp.
‘You’ve improved a lot.’
-To be honest, it’s completely different from three months ago.
Ras nodded, saying that the strength and spirit of the Gwangpungdae had changed dramatically.
‘I didn’t know I would change to this extent either.’
As if Gwangpungdae was keeping its promise of not wanting to be a bridesmaid anymore, everyone except Yua and Julius overcame the master’s wall.
Burren, Marta, Runaan, and Mark Goeton also reached the wall of the highest level of master, so it was no exaggeration to say that all the swordsmen who trained at the 5th training ground made progress.
‘Am I the only one who doesn’t see a change in state?’
There’s no need to rush though.
Even though his level of strength remains the same, his mastery of the 10,000 Swords has increased significantly by learning various sword techniques from Glenn.
The number of new techniques increased, and I became familiar with some sword techniques to the point where I could use them in actual combat.
‘Especially the magic sword.’
The magic sword called Seonggeomnyeon’s sword technique suited him surprisingly well.
Just like the name Majeong, there was a solemnity in the space between them, and it felt as
if it bound the past and present lives.
Raon headed to the training center in Gaju, keeping the excitement of the prosecutors in his
heart.
In the soft lighting, I unfolded the magic sword a few times and was catching my breath when the door opened and Glenn came in.
“See you, matriarch.”
Raon carefully lowered his head.
“I came after seeing the 5th training camp on the way.”
Glenn came over and greeted me with his hand.
“Everyone has improved. “Except for the two children who came in later, everyone’s level is considerable.”
He showed a gentle smile, saying he was proud of Gwangpungdae, who trained day and night for three months.
“There is still a lot missing.”
“now… .”
Glenn’s hand went up as Raon shook his head.
“It would be nice to take on a new mission.”
