Chapter 731
Wow.
Raon calmly held Derus’ hand. Without generating any aura or force, he only waved his hand up and down, faithful to the communication of a handshake.
‘You shouldn’t touch him now.’
Derus Robert is a more suspicious and cautious person than anyone he knows.
The fact that he held out his hand now meant that all preparations had been completed.
‘Let’s wait.’
Raon chewed the inside of his lip as he pushed down the death-slicing blade that seemed to be about to pierce his heart.
‘It’s going according to plan.’
While Derus is concentrating, it is impossible to reveal his identity.
Rather, they may go ahead with their intention and only hand over information.
Now was the time to calm down the anger and revenge and put on a fake smile. Just like Derus played a trick on me.
-Boo, the atmosphere is harsh. It feels like entering an ice castle.
Lars muttered that the weather had gotten colder and his shoulders were shaking.
“It is an honor to shake hands with Cheongeomseong.”
Raon smiled softly and gently traced the back of Derus’ hand with his thumb.
‘It doesn’t feel right.’
The black leather gloves Derus was wearing were so thick that the wounds on the backs of his hands could not be seen.
Anyway, he was a very cautious guy.
Raon ended the brief handshake, suppressing the urge to burn Derus’ gloves.
“In the future, Raon, you will be able to climb to a height that cannot even be compared to me.”
Derus gave an unexpected compliment and showed a bright smile as if it were filled with light.
“Oh, that’s right.”
He clapped his hands lightly as if he had now remembered.
“Do you know that Raon’s nickname has changed?”
“yes.”
Raon lowered his eyes gently and nodded.
“He was called a usurper. “It’s a cool nickname, but I still think it’s too much for me.”
When he said it was too much, Repon, who was behind Derus, twitched his shoulders.
“It’s not excessive at all.”
Derus waved his hands with an exaggerated expression.
“Didn’t you bring down the corrupt kings from their thrones?”
He laughed and said that it was a nickname that really suited him.
“Actually, the nickname ‘Usurper’… .”
Derus brought Repon Robert, who was behind him, to the front.
“Our youngest guy wrote it. “I’m still Raon’s fan.”
He laughed and said he was jealous.
“Oh, hello.”
Repon shrugged his shoulders and lowered his head as if he was embarrassed.
“ah… .”
Raon’s eyes widened as he received Repon’s greeting.
‘Now that I think about it, I heard that the nickname ‘Usurper’ came from the south.’
Chad told me about the new tinnitus and, surprisingly, said that it was a tinnitus that came from the south.
It really felt like the child in front of me had given me the nickname “Usurper.”
‘Lepon Robert… .’
A goodness that cannot be hidden blooms in unspoiled eyes.
A child I had never seen in my previous life. He was born after his death, and as he was having his coming-of-age ceremony this year, he seemed to have not yet been touched by De Luz.
‘Still, I can’t rest assured.’
Derus is a monster who brainwashes his own son and feeds him lazy worms.
You should not let down your guard just because your eyes are kind.
“S-sorry.”
Repon looked at his toes and lowered his shoulders.
“I’m useless… .”
He quivered his lips, saying he was sorry for giving him a bad name, as if he had misunderstood what he said.
“no.”
Raon shook his head, holding Repon’s shaking shoulder.
“It’s not that I don’t like the nickname ‘Usurper’, it just means that I’m not good enough to receive that name yet.”
Since he was still a child, I clearly explained things to him so that he would not be disappointed.
“Um, are you serious?”
Repon raised his gaze with a sunny smile.
“yes. I like it. Thank you for giving me a good nickname.”
Raon nodded, looking at Repon’s sparkling eyes.
“Well, I am grateful!”
Repon scratched the back of his head and rolled his eyes as if he was embarrassed.
“Hey Raon. I’m sorry… .”
He took out two thick books from his subspace pocket. It was a biography of Raon Sieghardt that I couldn’t recognize because I saw it a little while ago.
“Ugh… .”
Raon groaned as he looked at the book with his name engraved on the title.
‘How far did that spread?’
Encia’s distribution capabilities went beyond admiration to the point of absurdity.
“Lepon. Because other people are waiting in the conference room. “It would be better to get an autograph later.”
Derus patted Repon’s head as if he was sorry.
“Why don’t you come quickly!”
“Why are you guys so late? “I’ll wait and eat all the candy!”
Ogram and Chamber also raised their voices inside the conference room as if to welcome them.
“ah… .”
“I’ll do it for you after the meeting, don’t worry.”
Raon promised to give Lepon, who was embarrassed, an autograph after finishing.
“Ah, yes!”
Repon answered with an attitude that made him stand at attention as if he were standing in front of his boss.
“And I really like the nickname Usurper. I plan to bring down an ugly king from his lofty throne soon… .”
Raon curled his lips as he faced Derus’s eyes, not Lepon’s.
“If his crown falls to the ground, I think I will be able to freely receive the nickname that Repon gave me.”
“I’m looking forward to it.”
Derus twisted his mouth as if he knew that the ugly king was himself.
Raon and Derus entered the Beast League conference hall with different smiles on their faces.
* * *
“Then we will begin the Six Emperors’ Meeting.”
The vice-leader of the Beast League, who served as the moderator of the meeting, bowed his head to the people sitting in the circular conference hall.
“Before I bring up the first agenda, let me tell you how this war has progressed and its results.”
He held up the documents and said to start again after reorganizing the situation.
“The beginning of the war was a matter of life and death between Lord Sieghard Gwangpung and the Viceroy of the North and South. The North and South Alliance, unable to acknowledge their father’s defeat, launched a surprise attack, and the leader of the shadows, a swordsman wearing a blue dragon helmet, appeared… .”
The vice-leader of the Beast League rolled up his sleeves after explaining what had happened.
“Although the damage caused by the Six Emperors is not small, it is encouraging that the North and South alliances collapsed. “Because the weight that was tilted towards Oma has been balanced again.”
“Aren’t there other problems?”
King Recross raised his hand and lowered his eyebrows.
“you’re right. A new shadow has arrived in Oma, and the dragon has also become our enemy. It is true that Yukhwang still has disadvantages. but… .”
The vice-lord continued speaking while clenching his right hand into a fist.
“It is a positive thing for us that the enemy has become clear. “You won’t be surprised by a dragon like this time.”
He nodded, saying that it might be good for the Pia to be separate.
“… … .”
Derus had a smile on his face as he read the increasingly heated atmosphere in the conference room.
‘As expected.’
They’re all targeting me.
A transcendent sense that surpasses even the sixth sense whispers.
The monsters in this conference hall are secretly watching themselves.
‘That’s the back of my hand, too.’
The leaders of the six emperors were only examining their own hands with their eyes, sounds, and senses.
It was clear that he was wondering whether there was a wound on the back of his hand, how he could hide it if he couldn’t see it, and how to find it.
The only people currently concentrating on the meeting in this conference hall were the heads of neutral forces who were lucky enough to attend.
‘That’s fun.’
Derus Robert rolled his eyes, feeling the tension blooming like a haze.
I couldn’t help but laugh because it was like a war where everyone was fighting and revealing each other’s cards.
‘Especially that guy.’
He glanced at Raon, who did not take his eyes off his vice-leader.
‘Even if they are strong in strength, they are superior to the old men of the Six Emperors in terms of their wit and acting skills.’
I remembered the teaching that the greatest opportunity is the greatest trap.
Of course, shaking hands with Raon was a trap. If he tried to target the wound on the back of his hand, it was a sharp trap to steal information and find fault.
‘Of course, that guy also got impatient in the end.’
Raon was unable to hide his gaze towards the hand while shaking hands, and even used a crude trick of subtly checking the back of the hand with his thumb.
‘Raon.’
Derus lowered his head and curled his lips briefly.
‘Even if you are reborn, there will be no difference.’
Even in his previous life as an assassin, Raon had his head blown off because he did not doubt any situation.
I thought things might have gotten a little better after being reincarnated, but nothing in particular had changed.
‘You can never win this fight.’
Because you won’t be able to reveal my wounds.
It is true that Raon carved an indelible scar on the back of his hand, but both times it was when he was careless.
If you kept that guy’s existence in mind from the beginning, there was no way your doppelganger’s skin would be pierced.
‘There… .’
It is even more impossible to bring out the energy of death.
The energy of death was sealed at the bottom of the soul.
Since it was a difficult place to find even if Glenn looked for it himself, the only thing Raon could aim for was the wound on the back of his hand.
‘This is a mission that requires an unconditional retreat… .’
Derus laughed at Raon’s red eyes and twitched his fingertips.
‘You won’t back down.’
Because I taught that.
‘In the end, it seems you are destined to only help me and disappear in this life.’
Derus Robert folded his hands and mumbled that he would hold a grand funeral this time.
One by one, the rewards he would receive after completing this task began to appear in his mind.
* * *
“What is important to us now is the location of the missing dragons and the identity of the swordsman wearing the blue dragon helmet.”
The vice-lord lifted the second document and lowered his chin slightly.
“From that day on, the Dragon Lord and dragons disappeared from this continent as if they never existed. Some even abandoned the nest itself.”
He read the report without hesitation, as if he had already finished investigating the dragon.
“He probably won’t show up for a while.”
Chambers smacked the round table with a candy bar to whet his appetite.
“Dragons were born as the strongest race on the continent. Are those arrogant bastards in their right mind, having almost been thrown down as a group by humans they treated like insects? “I guess he’s hiding in a corner somewhere, shaking.”
She giggled, saying it looked good.
“It’s not just dragons.”
King Lecross raised his hand to speak.
“It will be difficult for a swordsman wearing a fallen heaven, holy sword training master, white blood cult leader, and blue dragon helmet to move.”
He nodded, saying that even if he survived, he wouldn’t be seen for a long time.
“Well, that’s a good thing… .”
The magic tower lord revealed his eyes for the first time, as if he was happy that he wouldn’t have to fight for a while.
“During that time, we must reorganize our forces and increase our strength. “If we meet again, we can crush them.”
Chamber clenched his small fist, saying he should not miss this opportunity.
“I agree. “Our Owen is also ready to grow the capabilities of the Knights.”
King Rekros cast a sharp gaze as he adjusted the black sword hanging on the round table.
“Robert has already started training. “Everyone is sweating blood and swinging their swords.”
Derus Robert also nodded, saying that he should seize this opportunity.
“All of this is thanks to the head of the family, Glenn, so I just want to thank you.”
He stood up from his chair and bowed to Glenn.
“Did you say it was a sword?”
“okay. Everyone there said they couldn’t move for a while when they saw that sword… .”
“I still can’t believe they cut down the Omae dragon in one go.”
The leaders of the neutral forces were in vain, recalling the swordsmanship they had only heard about.
“Of course, that inspiration is great. but… .”
Ogram looked away from Glenn.
“If it weren’t for Raon, that guy would have been buried with his heart pierced.”
He smiled, bared his teeth, and pointed at Raon.
“In other words, the person who ended this war and bought time was Raon, not Glenn!”
“I said the obvious and sat down.”
Chamber rolled his eyes, asking why he was telling the truth that everyone knew.
“There is a need to look back. “I also believe that Great Lord Gwangpung changed the course of the war.”
King Lecross gave a thumbs up, saying it was a truly great achievement.
“Aren’t you scared…? ?”
The Mage Tower bowed his head, saying it would have been difficult to stop him even if he were there.
“So, Raon.”
Ogram turned his upper body towards Raon and grinned.
“Do you by any chance have a wish?”
“yes? “Wish?”
Raon’s eyes widened as if he was hearing this for the first time.
“As Rekros said, what you accomplished was not to save one person, but to end the war. No, it’s like changing the balance of this continent.”
Ogram nodded with serious eyes.
“If you tell me your wish, I will grant it as long as I can get my hands on it.”
He waved his hand inward as if to say as much as he wanted.
“So do i. “Even if you ask me to marry you, I will listen.”
He said he thought it would be okay if the chamber was your face and gently pressed the witch’s hat.
“You guys have such a lack of conscience, the age gap is 100 years… “Inhale!”
Recross shook his head, then looked at Chamber’s red eyes and closed his mouth.
“Oh, if there’s anything you want from Owen, I’ll give it to you. “Gwangpungdaeju.”
He avoided Chamber’s gaze and shouted that he could make his wish.
“If it’s not a bother… .”
The magic tower lord raised his head for the first time. Her fair blonde hair spilled over the table.
“I guess I can’t be left out either. Robert agrees.”
Even Derus Robert laughed and said he would grant his wish.
“Raon. “Tell me.”
Glenn stretched his hand forward as if to come out.
“Umm… .”
Raon stood in front of the round table, scratching the back of his head.
“It’s embarrassing, but there’s something I’d like to ask you.”
I started speaking in a calm tone and looked back at Glenn.
“I learned swordsmanship from the head of the family, and I learned the martial arts from the Yawang. “Mukgeomjon also gave me advice.”
In fact, I never received any unscholastic advice from the Emperor of the Dead, but since there was no one who could guess that lie, I straightened my back proudly.
“I wanted to learn something from Derus, but it was a pity that I didn’t have much interaction with Robert.”
Raon slowly lowered his gaze. A red-hot flame flashed above his eyes as he looked directly at Derus.
“I would like to ask you to spar with Heavenly Sword Saint Derus Robert.”
