Chapter 732
“Can you listen?”
Raon looked at Derus Robert with an expectant look in his eyes.
‘Of course you have no choice but to allow it.’
All six emperors were in the mood to grant the wish, and Derus also said that he would grant the request.
He also said that he needed to increase his strength, so there was no option for him to refuse.
“Of course, if we fight officially, I won’t be your opponent, so I hope you can control your strength.”
Raon smiled and continued speaking as if he had already received permission.
“Please give me a chance to see the swordsmanship of the Robert family, which is famous for its brilliance.”
He bowed politely with his hand on his chest.
“Oh oh!”
“I can’t believe I get to see a sparring between the usurper and the Heavenly Sword Saint!”
“I’m already nervous… .”
“Just watching this sparring is amazing!”
The leaders of the neutral forces also seemed to have already sparred with their appetites.
“Ah, father.”
Repon looked at Derus and put his hands together. He also looked like he wanted to spar.
“If that is your wish… .”
Derus smiled softly and stroked his hair.
“Rather, I would like to ask you a favor.”
He nodded, saying of course he would listen.
“wow!”
Repon also shook his raised fist as if he was excited.
“Then, since we’re talking about it, let’s get started right away!”
Ogram got up from the round table as if he had been waiting.
“I refinished the sparring area so the kids can play together, so it won’t be bad for the first fight.”
He said, “Let’s go now,” and left the conference room first.
“I wish I had the chance too.”
King Recross followed behind Ogram, smiling as if to tell him if he needed someone to spar with.
“Great Lord Gwangpung. “Are you okay?”
Glenn called Raon a madman and gave him a calm gaze.
“yes. “Even if I get a little hurt, I don’t want to miss this opportunity.”
Raon bowed his head, saying please.
“It’s your wish, so it’s not for me to argue.”
Glenn nodded his approval and stood up from his chair.
“Do not worry. “No one will get hurt.”
Derus followed Glenn out and waved.
“hey. “Aren’t you going?”
Chamber rolled his eyes at the magic tower lord.
“Do it without me… .”
The Mage Tower waved his hands helplessly as if he was already tired.
“It’s so funny and embarrassing!”
Chamber furrowed his eyebrows and went out to the conference hall with the magic tower holder around his waist.
Because there was a huge height difference, it looked like the child was dragging his mother away.
“We should go too!”
“okay. “If this continues, I’ll miss out on all the good seats!”
“It’s an honor just to participate in the meeting, but to even have such an opportunity!”
The leaders of the neutral powers also stormed out of the conference room.
As Raon left the conference room for the last time, he put strength on his fingertips as if sharpening a knife.
‘The first plan came true.’
Naturally, this sparring was my plan. Thanks to the good acting of Glenn and the heads of the six emperors, it worked well without any problems.
‘but… .’
Derus Robert must have figured out that this was the plan.
It makes no sense for that quick-witted snake bastard not to understand this situation. It was clear that he accepted the sparring knowingly.
‘You probably think I can’t dig up your wounds.’
Just that. The composure of not even thinking of oneself as conceited will become the sword that will pierce Derus’ heart.
Raon left the conference hall with his hand on the sword of Jecheon Sword. His eyes darkened as if surrounded by night.
‘This life will be different from before.’
* * *
Before starting sparring, Derus stopped by the lodgings and took off his long clothing.
“Mr. Derus.”
Kubara bowed his head as he received the long gun.
“Are you okay?”
“It’s just fun.”
Derus smiled, clasping his hands together.
“I was curious about how they would approach it, but it’s a sparring match. “Not a bad conversation.”
He twitched his lips, saying it would be fun.
“Raon Sieghardt is a monster who created numerous variables.”
Cubara lowered her voice without changing her expression.
“Our plans have been ruined more than once because of his words and actions, so you must be careful.”
“Of course, I don’t let down my guard. but… .”
Derus turned his head left and right as if to clear his throat and pushed up the corners of his mouth.
“There is no way for them. “The energy of death has been sealed at the bottom of my soul, and it is impossible to open the wound on the back of my hand.”
He chuckled and lightly tapped the back of his gloved hand.
“Because it is a fight where the outcome is clearly decided, the tension is low. “The old people’s acting is also awkward.”
“but… .”
“Of course, it doesn’t mean there isn’t room for recognition.”
Derus raised his finger.
“It’s hard for you to openly doubt me, so requesting a sparring match was definitely a good idea.”
Raon and Emperor Yuk would have planned to take advantage of the sparring situation by removing the gloves and exposing the scars on the backs of the hands.
Even if they failed, they would have decided that there would be no loss since there would be an excuse for sparring.
‘But that’s just your opinion.’
A crisis becomes another opportunity. He planned to go against Raon and Yukwang’s thoughts, discredit them, and obtain compensation.
‘I’m looking forward to it.’
As I thought about Raon and the old men’s faces collapsing in front of the doppelganger’s skin after happily taking off the gloves, I felt like my excitement was already building up.
“let’s go.”
Derus said he couldn’t stand it anymore and got up from his chair and left the room.
“… … .”
Kubara said no more and followed quietly.
* * *
Raon went to the sparring area first and warmed up.
-Even if you die and wake up, you won’t be able to win.
Lars shook his head, saying it was a fight between an elephant and an ant.
-Just leave it to the king!
He pounded his chest and said he would keep him in a glacier for 10,000 years and cause him pain for the rest of his life.
‘That might not be a bad thing, but this is my war. ‘I can’t give it up to anyone.’
Raon shook his head heavily.
‘And what’s important in this fight is not martial arts.’
Sparring with Derus is not a swordsmanship battle, but a psychological battle.
Who prepared more and who knows the opponent better will determine the winner or loser of the day.
“Raon.”
As I was concentrating and resonating the ring of fire, Glenn approached me.
“I still don’t like this plan.”
He shook his head, pretending not to let anyone else hear.
“If I change it now, if I end it… .”
“Then Derus won’t reveal his identity until he dies.”
Raon turned his back and lowered his eyes.
“I can only do this because I am not a threat to him.”
I told him to trust me and bent down.
“okay. i get it. but… .”
Glenn returned to his original position, revealing his heated eyes.
“If I think you are in danger, I will intervene no matter what.”
“yes. “Please.”
It was only after hearing the request that he relaxed his stiff expression.
Raon looked back at the sparring hall and smiled.
‘Not bad.’
When I thought that the continent’s strongest swordsman had my back, my fear disappeared.
I felt like I could do anything.
-See, there is also the main king!
Lars suddenly shouted and leaped into the air.
-If it is dangerous, bring down the main king!
The guy perked up his ears and waved his arms as if he didn’t want to lose.
‘okay. okay.’
While Raon was laughing and patting Lars’ head, Derus came into the training room.
He went straight onto the sparring field as if he didn’t even need to warm up.
“Are you ready?”
“yes. “I’m done.”
Raon nodded and pulled out his sword.
“Then let’s begin.”
When Derus stretched out his hand back, Spirit Sword Master Varian handed him a blue-colored sword.
“Are you both ready?”
The vice-leader of the Beast League, who was in the conference hall, had already come up to the sparring hall and was presiding over the situation.
“yes.”
“yes.”
Raon and Derus answered at the same time and raised their swords to the middle.
“Then let’s start sparring!”
The vice-commander roughly lowered his hand and went down the sparring hall.
“I will give up move 3.”
Derus, as a senior warrior, took a step back, telling him to attack the third move first.
“I will go without hesitation!”
Raon kicked the sparring field without hesitation. He advanced as if piercing the space and threw out his sword.
The red-hot tip of the sword trembled, and hundreds of flower petals bloomed.
Cartoon baller Cheonhwa.
Hwaryeong.
More pieces of flame than before moved the ship at high speed and enveloped Derus’ entire body.
“It is a swordsmanship that is both flashy and sharp. The operation speed is fast, so no one will be able to handle it easily. but… .”
Derus lowered his sword in a sigh, as if in admiration.
The sword falling quietly sank all of Hwaryeong’s petals surrounding the son-in-law.
“It’s still not enough. “If you want to become a master in no time, increase your speed and variation.”
He gave serious advice as if he were sparring.
Cheeeeee!
As if Raon expected Hwaryeong to be cut off, he stepped on the Taehwabo and dug into Derus’ back. Jeokseom36gyeol. The season of the cartoon ball striking 36 directions at once was launched like a lightning strike.
“It’s beautifully polished swordsmanship. of course… .”
Derus turned his wrist. As his sword rotated in a semicircle, the sword strike of the thirty-six points of the red sword sank in vain, like a piece of iron sticking to a magnet.
“We still lack power and speed.”
He laughed, pointing out the shortcomings this time too.
“Whoa.”
Raon took a breath and secretly examined the back of Derus’ hand.
Even though he took out Hwaryeong and Jeokseom36gyeol, not even the slightest mark was left on his gloves.
‘Is this a new sword technique? I feel like I’ve gotten stronger.’
As a transcendental who is said to be unrivaled by Glenn, Derus did not waver at all even in front of Mangakagong’s swordsmanship. He felt like he was looking at a wall that could never be broken down.
‘But it doesn’t matter.’
None of his plans were thwarted. The one who laughs at the end is the real winner.
Coo coo coo coo!
Raon rushed towards Derus and held out his sword that had been tilted back.
A swirl of flames bloomed from the sword, drawing the shape of a huge fire dragon.
Cartoon baller Cheonhwa.
Yeomryonggyeol.
The roar of the fire dragon, which was second only in power, caused a magnificent explosion in front of Derus’ eyes.
Wow!
From the center of the sparring hall, red-hot flames and acrid smoke bloomed endlessly like a snake’s tongue.
Phew.
Derus seemed not shocked at all and used his sword to create wind and push away the smoke.
But his leather gloves were slightly torn.
“hmm.”
Raon swallowed dryly as he looked at Derus’s slightly torn gloves.
However, his heart was beating very slowly, as if he was not excited at all.
“It’s a sword strike that focuses on power. I also like that they deliberately approached it and exploded it. “If you just fix the parts that lack detail, it will become an excellent swordsmanship.”
Derus relaxed his defensive stance and stepped forward with his left foot.
“Now that the concessions have been made, shall we get started properly?”
“However much.”
Raon slammed the Jecheon Sword and the Requiem Sword into the floor of the sparring hall.
“Sword Realm Shinma Harmony.”
His low voice twists the world. Another sun rose in the sky, and a silver moon rose opposite it.
“It’s the manifestation of the sword world… .”
Derus licked his lips as if he was looking forward to it. His eyes sparkled yo-yo.
“You’re making it more and more enjoyable.”
“yes. “It will be a lot of fun.”
Raon rushed towards Derus Robert, holding the divine sword and the magic sword.
* * *
Whoa!
Derus blocked Raon’s sword strike and twisted his mouth.
‘It’s ridiculously strong.’
I felt it when I blocked his own surprise attack, but Raon Sieghardt’s power is real.
An absolute talent that even he himself cannot match. A person who reached that level at that age would not be found even if the entire history of the continent were searched.
‘Of course, talent means nothing.’
It doesn’t matter how strong Raon is or how talented he is.
In the end, he will not be able to bloom and will sink to the ground.
Cheeeeee!
Raon’s sword drew a graceful change like sunlight setting on the water’s edge. The flaming sword, which was curved as if aiming for a vital part of the body, fell sharply, aiming for the back of his hand.
‘As expected, they’re aiming for the back of your hand.’
Derus blocked Raon’s sword strike and twisted his mouth.
He pretended to aim for a vital spot earlier and subtly thrust the sword into his hand.
Performing a series of spectacular swordsmanship seemed like a plan to avoid detection of his intention to target the back of his hand.
‘The acting wasn’t bad.’
But from the beginning, it was a fight you couldn’t win.
As if he had heard his own ridicule, Raon’s sword gained a grand weight. A sword strike that seems to capture the sky. It seemed to be a spearbow sword that Glenn had personally taught.
‘I guess I can tolerate it at this level.’
In order to see the despair of the old men of Raon and the Six Emperors, the leather gloves were made to naturally cut even though they could block the speargun sword.
Sigh!
The thick leather gloves that came into contact with Raon’s sword cracked, revealing the back of his own hand.
It seemed like I could hear the eyes of Glenn, Ogram, Chamber, Recross, and Mage Tower, who were watching the sparring, rolling rapidly.
“It was my favorite glove.”
Derus held back his laughter and held out the back of his hand.
Naturally, there was not even a small wound visible on the back of his hand.
“hmm… .”
“also.”
“ha… .”
The leaders of the six emperors could not feel the skin of the doppelganger and let out inaudible moans.
‘Yeah, you never know.’
The doppelganger’s skin does not move with mana. It was impossible for even a transcendental person to recognize its existence.
However, unlike the leaders of the six emperors who showed even the slightest sign of disappointment, Raon’s eyes did not change. It was as if he had expected this much.
‘okay. ‘You must have known.’
Derus chuckled and nodded. Since he knows himself well, he would have fully anticipated this situation.
‘but… .’
You don’t even notice this leather.
The more Raon focused on the back of his hand, the more it was like falling into an endless swamp.
‘I can see how it moves.’
Derus was about to move again, laughing inwardly.
Whoa!
The red divine sword that Raon was holding shot out like a javelin and blocked his eyes.
“hmm!”
Derus swung his sword down and blocked the incoming divine sword. He widened his eyes as if he was embarrassed.
Kyaaaaa!
The moment the divine sword was about to hit the ground, Raon jumped out and grabbed Derus’ wrist.
“What is this?”
“It was so fast that this was the only way.”
Raon swung his magic sword as if to engage in close combat.
“Maybe it’s because you’re young, but you’re so unexpected.”
Derus opened his mouth as if he was surprised, but a playful rhyme was blooming in his heart.
‘As expected, he came on his own.’
It was clear that Raon was trying to use the energy that had carved the sword marks on the back of my hand to open the wound again.
In fact, it was the only way left for him.
‘Your eyes are shaking.’
Perhaps because he was impatient, Raon’s eyes fluttered as if hit by a wave. It seemed like I still couldn’t break that habit.
Wooooow!
As expected, Raon began pushing the aura of flame into the wound on the back of my hand to open it.
‘It’s too much for your strength.’
By condensing the aura between the doppelganger’s skin and the real skin, the space itself where its energy could penetrate was blocked.
“It doesn’t seem to be going well.”
Derus curled up the corners of his mouth, displaying a very secretive display.
“This is absolutely impossible at your level.”
“Nothing is absolutely impossible.”
As if struggling, Raon pushed more energy into the back of Derus’ hand.
“I said I couldn’t do it.”
Derus sneered and strengthened his defenses. His gaze, which had been protecting his entire body, only went to the back of his hand.
When Glenn, other transcendents, and even Derus only focus on the back of their hands.
Raon looked beyond that.
Gooooo!
Ignoring the solid defense protecting the back of Derus’ hand, he took out the colorless blade hidden in his heart.
Cheeeeee!
The dimly burning blade did not penetrate the back of Derus’ hand, but penetrated his deepest part.
Cheeeeee!
The ring of fire illuminated the darkness, the emotions of anger opened the way, and Aris’s dimensional sword and Ogram’s violent seaweed delivered the power that pierced Derus’ soul.
“for a moment… .”
Derus realized that he had been tricked and tried to pull his wrist away, but it was already too late.
The blade that cuts through death did not miss the moment’s opportunity and cut through the seal of death that had sunk to the bottom of Derus’ soul.
Oh my!
A roar sounded as if the sky was splitting open, and Derus’ transparent eyes turned black.
The energy of death burned like a dance on his shoulders.
“… What a bastard! Was it all a trick!”
Derus’ chin trembled as he saw the energy of death getting out of control.
“It’s not that bad… .”
Raon twisted his lips as he faced the deathly energy writhing throughout Derus’ body.
“It’s thorough. Derus Robert.”
