Episode 769
Hwaaaaa!
The darkness caused by the green king could not withstand the flames of the
divine sword, and slowly melted away like dawn fog touched by sunlight.
Raon narrowed his eyes as he watched the green king’s sword plane disappear into vain.
‘Geomgye Appearance… .’
The sword realm manifestation is a type of barrier that embodies the thoughts and images accumulated by the swordsman into reality.
As a special ability, there is one prerequisite: only swordsmen with Sieghart’s
bloodline can use it.
Although Limerna and Ras demonstrated the sword system, strictly speaking,
it was a slightly different technique that replaced the power of blood by overloading the body and mind.
‘But that sword world is real.’
In fact, the darkness caused by the Green King was so crude that it could not
be called a sword realm.
Although it was at a much lower level than the unfinished sword system she used during her time as a master, she naturally followed the flow of Sieghardt’s
sword system.
In other words, that woman wearing the black orc helmet was carrying Sieghart’s blood.
“That’s a real sword world… .”
Rimmer also opened his mouth as if it made no sense when he saw the Green King’s sword world.
“you’re right.”
Raon nodded heavily. As he became convinced that the Green King was from
Sieghardt, various feelings of incongruity and questions that he had buried burrowed into his mind.
A young body that looked like he was in his 20s, an age-old talent that seemed to have been born with a ring of fire, belonging to Eden, some advice Ras gave him before the battle, a mocking remark from a twin-headed demon that he couldn’t understand, and even the sword realm.
‘I still can’t believe it… .’
The green king seemed to be his older sister, Sia, who was known to be dead.
If this hypothesis was accepted, it could explain both the reason why he felt
familiar when looking at the green king’s eyes and the reason why Lars said they had similar temperaments.
However, there were still things that needed to be confirmed to be sure.
gulp.
Raon swallowed dryly and looked back at Sylvia. She kept her eyes wide open, not understanding this situation.
‘You have to ask.’
Sylvia’s testimony was needed to confirm that the Green King was Sia.
‘but… .’
I couldn’t imagine how much sadness Sylvia must feel, so I couldn’t open my
mouth easily.
‘The reason my mother came here was also related to that incident.’
Before leaving on this mission, Sylvia spoke sincerely, saying that she was training until she collapsed to protect her family, and that those she had to protect included me.
‘My mother continued to embrace her open wounds… .’
The reason Sylvia made that promise was because she could not protect her
husband and young daughter.
I tormented myself so as not to experience that pain again.
‘That’s why you came here.’
Since her son, who had once died and returned, requested assistance, Sylvia
could not have waited quietly in the annex.
As the image of her asking a favor to the sword master and kneeling down to
ask Glenn for permission came to mind, my fingertips trembled without my knowledge.
However, even if we know what kind of mindset Sylvia has, we cannot stop here.
Even if it meant deepening her pain and wounds, the truth had to be revealed.
“I’m sorry about this situation, but… .”
Raon looked back at Sylvia, clenching his fist until it bled.
“What color were your sister’s hair and eyes?”
For the first time, I asked about Sia’s eye and hair color, which I had not mentioned out of fear that Sylvia would be sad.
“It was brown and red. But why?”
Sylvia rolled her eyes, not yet understanding the situation.
“Whoa… .”
Raon looked at the green king and closed his eyes tightly. Her hair color was
brown, and her eyes were the same red as her own.
“Lastly, did you not see your father and sister die?”
“Yes, that’s right. I even saw him collapse, but he was dragged unconscious…
.”
She shook her head, saying that Sieghardt’s guards had stopped them.
“Raon. Why suddenly… ah?”
Sylvia seemed to have finally realized Raon’s question and turned her gaze to
the green king.
She skimmed the Green King’s entire body and dropped her sword.
“S-No way… .”
“I think that’s right.”
“ah… .”
Sylvia sat down without even thinking about picking up the fallen sword.
“No, no…” .”
She shook her head wildly as if she couldn’t believe it.
-Uh, why is Mom like that?
Lars blinked as he saw Sylvia suddenly kneeling.
‘Because, as you said, the woman wearing that helmet appears to be from the same boat as me.’
-uh? Well, that was just an example, really?
The guy opened his mouth as if he himself was embarrassed.
‘okay.’
Thanks to Sylvia’s testimony, it became clear that the Green King was his older sister, Sia.
“Hehehe… .”
I became even more confident when I saw the two-headed man grinning as if he understood now.
“Um, that’s your sister?”
Rimmer also realized that the green king was Sia, and his lips trembled.
“I’m sure.”
Raon nodded while biting his lip.
“no. no. It shouldn’t be like that. Then it’s too… .”
Sylvia’s complexion turned white. Her eyes were bloodshot and red as she looked at the green king.
“No.”
The two-headed ear smiled brightly while standing next to the green king.
“It’s the daughter you abandoned and ran away.”
He nodded resolutely, as if confirming the kill.
“Aaaahhh!”
Sylvia screamed and held her head. She had tears streaming down her eyes that seemed to be her blood.
“You!”
When Raon was about to kick the ground and charge, the two-headed ear giggled and hid behind the green king’s back.
“I’m not finished talking yet.”
The two-headed ear raised a finger behind the green king, saying he had more to say.
“Anything other than useless bullshit… .”
“I’d better listen, right? “I don’t want to regret it later.”
“what?”
“There’s one more secret left.”
He shook his head, resting his chin on the Green King’s shoulder.
“What if the sister you thought was dead is still alive? “Isn’t Abby still alive?”
The two-headed ears raised their fingers and pointed at the Soul Sword standing behind Rimmer.
“That guy. “Who do you think it is?”
The corner of the mouth of the Etin helmet he was wearing curled up.
“ah… .”
Raon let out a low groan and looked back. The Soul Sword was just standing
quietly, just like when I saw it in the branch of Eden.
“that’s right. It’s your dad. Aurors are worse than third-rate, but their swordsmanship is strangely excellent, so I brought them here for now? It was a huge hit! “It’s been a long time since Tacheon smiled like that.”
The two-headed ears said that the reward was quite great and quenched their appetite.
“lie!”
Sylvia looked at the Soul Sword and shook her head in disbelief.
However, contrary to the cry that it was a lie, I couldn’t take my eyes off him
as if I was reminded of Edgar through the body shape of the sword.
“It’s all lies!”
I could feel that her spirit was breaking down.
“hmm… .”
Raon swallowed dry saliva as he looked at the Soul Sword.
‘Come to think of it… .’
A little while ago, when the Sword of Souls surprised me, it didn’t use its best
and didn’t put any effort into killing it.
I swung my sword while creating a very small but avoidable path.
The same thing happened when we met at the branch in Eden. Surprisingly,
the Sword of Soul only looked at itself and did not cause any harm.
Every single thing was strange, but if he was really her father, everything made sense.
‘but… .’
When Raon frowned, remembering the difference between the Soul Sword and other ghosts of Eden, the two-headed ear lifted its chin.
“Then would you like me to check your face? “I might faint?”
The two-headed ear chuckled and smoothed out his mask.
“Shut that snout.”
Raon adjusted his divine sword and his magic sword and stepped on Taehwabo.
Just as I was about to cut off the head of the two-headed monster, sharp sword strikes came from the left and right.
Hahaha!
It is the Green King and the Sword of Absolute Soul. The two people blocked
Raon’s path as if trying to protect his two-headed ears.
“Ugh… .”
“Why did I tell you this?”
The twin-eared pupils were slanted like a crescent moon.
“I wanted to see families having fun with each other!”
He held his stomach and laughed with a mockery worse than that of a demon.
It felt like I was seeing pure evil, not a demon or something.
-Hand over your body. The real king will scold that helmet bastard!
Lars’ whole body was stained with pure white cold as if he was truly angry.
‘I will kill you.’
Raon chewed his lip until it bled and pushed the aura into the divine sword and the demonic sword that were shaking as if they were about to go out.
“If you want to cut off my head, kill your sister and father.”
The two-headed ears could not hide their smiles as if they had wanted to create this situation from the beginning.
Now I feel like a monster that has inherited Ettin’s characteristics.
“Keuuuuu… .”
Sylvia fell to her knees and retched, as if she had lost the will to fight.
“That kid.”
Rimmer came to the side and frowned.
“It’s a bit annoying.”
He too seemed to be angry, his green eyes flashing red.
“Whoa… .”
Raon let out a breath. Perhaps thanks to the ring of fire, my anger slowly subsided.
‘Something is strange.’
From madblood demons to ghostly ghosts, all of the Eden executives he had
seen so far moved of their own will.
However, although the Green King and the Soul Sword were high-ranking officials of Eden, they were following the orders of the Two-Headed Demon, not their own will. It was such a strange thing.
‘Could it be that the souls of the two people were not completely erased?’
When I thought of the Green King using the Sword Realm and the Sword of
Death with no life in it, I felt the possibility, albeit very faint, of saving the two
people.
“Maybe I can save my father and sister.”
Raon looked back at Sylvia and nodded.
“what… ?”
A small light appeared in Sylvia’s eyes, which had been sinking in despair.
“What are you talking about. Once a person wears a helmet, he cannot return! “You know better!”
Rimmer shook his head as if he had to give up what he had to give up.
“Tsk tsk.”
The two-headed ears briefly clicked their tongues while looking at Raon.
“It’s too late at least. “After the soul has melted and even digested it.”
He giggled and let out a small burp.
“I can’t believe what you say.”
“Vain hope. “That is the biggest culprit that ruins humans.”
He curled his lips, saying that having two ears is the same as gambling.
“Do whatever you want. “It wouldn’t mean anything anyway.”
He shook his shoulders as if mocking him.
“… … .”
“That’s bullshit.”
As Raon bit his lip, a familiar female voice came from the air.
Wooooow!
An elongated dimension opened, and Merlin, wearing an old woman’s mask,
walked out of it.
“Merlin?”
The two-headed man’s eyes widened at the sudden appearance of Merlin.
“The old man who wants to pretend to be from the spirit world has told a lot
of lies.”
Merlin looked down at his twin ears and snorted.
“Tacheon touched those two directly. “If you look at it the way it is now, its soul might still be alive.”
She nodded, saying that Tacheon was likely to conduct many strange experiments.
“mother.”
Merlin approached Silvia first, not Raon, and lifted the hem of her skirt.
“It’s not time to give up yet.”
She called Sylvia “mother” and held her shoulders.
“Oh, it’s your mother… .”
Sylvia’s chin trembled when she saw the old woman’s mask that Merlin was
wearing.
Even in this situation, he seemed embarrassed that the wizard from Eden called him mother.
“Hehe, I called you in advance.”
Merlin slightly lifted his mask to show his bare face. Although she naturally does not like to take off her mask, it seemed like she was doing it to put Sylvia at ease.
“The Cross… .”
Sylvia’s lips trembled as she looked at the young cross in Merlin’s eyes.
“Please wait a minute.”
Merlin held Silvia’s hand tightly and stood to Raon’s left.
“The mere fact that you are manipulating those two means that you have a
mental problem. “It was all Tacheon’s intention.”
She snorted as if she was reading all of the two-headed ears’ lies.
“This traitorous bitch… .”
The mouth of the two-headed ear was twisted and it rose up. For the first time, it wasn’t a mocking laugh, but a genuine angry laugh.
“betrayal?”
Merlin snorted and shook his head.
“I was on Raon’s side from my previous life? “It’s not a betrayal, it’s just a return to love.”
She waved her white hand up and down, telling him not to talk nonsense.
“Ha, yeah. “It’s better.”
The two-headed ears raised their wooden clubs and aimed them at Raon and
Merlin at the same time.
“If I just take this opportunity to kill them all, that’s it.”
As he lifted his chin, the Green King and the Soul Sword stepped forward.
“I never thought I’d be fighting alongside Merlin.”
Rimmer laughed as if it was absurd and moved to Raon’s right.
“I was grateful at that time.”
He gave a small nod to Merlin.
“Who are you?”
Merlin blinked as if he was not interested in anything other than Raon.
“uh… ?”
“Let’s say hello later.”
Raon set up the divine sword and the magic sword, from which flames and frost began to disperse.
“Let’s end the fight first. What we should aim for is the two-headed one.”
“huh. Because I would rather die. don’t worry.”
Merlin smiled as if he would save Edgar and Sia even if his own life was lost.
“It must be hard.”
Rimmer sighed, but nodded, saying he understood.
“Then please do me a favor.”
Raon swung a ring of fire and stepped on Taehwabo.
I held my divine sword and my demon sword tighter and headed towards the
twin ears.
Before he could swing the two swords, the Green King and the Soul Sword blocked his path.
The two-headed ears stepped back with a smile on their face, as if asking them to cut as much as they wanted.
Cheeeeee!
Raon did not stop charging. He just moved forward, completely trusting the two people behind him.
Coo coo coo coo!
When the Green King slashed and the magic energy of the Soul Sword flashed, a strong mana and wind arose from behind.
Woooooo!
Merlin spread out dozens of magic circles and pushed back the green king who was trying to stab him with his sword, and Rimmer struck away the sword of death with a sword that was filled with wind and lightning.
Cheeeeee!
He stepped on the wide open road and slashed his divine sword and demonic sword towards the two-headed ears who were leisurely.
“You look at me too lightly.”
The two-headed ear grinned and raised the wooden club diagonally.
Wow!
As if it were the last time, Raon struck down the two-headed wooden club with the divine sword and the magic sword that spewed out flames and frost.
Unlike the subsiding flames, the increasingly stronger intention carved deep
cracks in the wooden club.
“What… .”
The two-headed ears widened their eyes as they saw the wooden club shaking as if it might break.
“Smile more.”
He looked into Raon’s red eyes and smiled coldly.
“Because today will be the last time you can smile.”
