Episode 138
‘Hero’s Path?’
Raon opened his eyes when he saw the message. I was frustrated because I couldn’t understand the meaning of it.
‘What is this… ah!’
It was time to read it again.
[The spirit level rises.]
[All stats increase.]
A shudder like lightning pierced his whole body. It felt as if the electricity that had penetrated my head reached the soles of my feet. For a moment, it felt as if my soul had reached a higher level.
– Ttt, he’s a bad luck guy.
Lars frowned as he stared at the message. It’s a face full of anger.
‘What is all this?’
– Literally. It means that the karma of a hero resides in your soul.
‘why?’
– Words have little power. If it’s a song, a stronger power permeates it. The song sang by the pineapple girl contains your heroic side, so those words gave you strength and raised your soul’s level.
‘Only with that?’
– Of course, it’s not just that.
Lars turned his head to see the infant singing.
-Have I told you before? The pineapple girl has a talent for singing. It is a talent beyond what the Bon King expected. Because that child made your song and sang it in front of so many people, that martial arts got its strength.
‘then… .’
-okay. The reason your soul’s rank and abilities have risen is because that child sang a song about you. to be grateful
‘her… .’
-The more heroic you show, the more that child’s song spreads, the more your soul’s rank, ability, and character will rise.
‘I’m not kidding.’
Raon smirked. I’ve known them since they stimulated their emotions, but a child’s singing talent is beyond even the word genius. I heard that the song of a great bard has a soul, but I didn’t know that I would experience it myself.
“… Those steps will leave a long mark in the melody of winter.”
After completing the martial arts song perfectly, YooA smiled broadly.
“Aaah!”
“Baby! Uncle loves you very much!”
“My little one is too precious to be here! Let’s send it to the continent!”
“child! child! child!”
The soldiers who heard the song of the infant gave a standing ovation and cheered. The ground was about to shake.
“thank you!”
The infant nodded in three directions and went down the podium to the table where Raon and Dorian were sitting.
“How was it?”
“Hey! It was really great! I was impressed! Are you on the same level as me?”
Dorian muttered nonsense and raised his thumb.
“How did you come up with the idea of making a song?”
“Because my grandfather always said we should thank the people who fight here.”
The infant smiled and waved to her grandfather, who was standing on the right, and the manager of the branch in Surrey.
“This time, Prosecutor Raon said that he had a lot of trouble, so I made a song based on what I heard and saw!”
“okay.”
Raon knelt down and made eye contact with the infant. Her round eyes twinkled like a rabbit.
“Thank you. Good to hear. really.”
“yes!”
The little boy pricked his head and jumped.
“Then go to our restaurant later… .”
“Are you saying you want to come and increase sales?”
“Wow, now you know.”
“I can’t know.”
Raon smiled as she looked at the baby’s fluttering hair.
“Then please come back later!”
The infant waved his hand and ran to the store manager who was waiting.
– Laon.
Lars, who had been quiet until now, stuck his head out of his bracelet.
‘why?’
– When a person receives a favor, he must repay it.
That’s right. However, as it came out of the mouth of the self-proclaimed Demon King, there was nothing to say.
– In the eyes of the main king, you received great favor from the pineapple girl.

Now I was expecting the words to come out of that lump of cold mouth.
– The sooner you repay the favor, the better. it’s today Go to the branch of frost right now and order all the food… .
‘ha.’
Raon shook his head as he watched Las roll his eyes.
– Besides, I also received favor from the main king. that is a very big blessing.
‘What kind of grace?’
-Didn’t the main king give you Glacia?
‘You’ve already paid for it.’
-Are you just going to buy a pineapple pizza with such a powerful ability and hit it off?
‘How can an action not go beyond expectations?’
Lars couldn’t really hide his heart as he got the position of the lord of the demon realm by taking the land.
– It’s not that you can’t hide it, it’s that you don’t hide it. Demons are loyal to their desires. I don’t tell lies as much as when I speak of desire. Especially since he was in the Demon Realm, he never once told a lie.
That is true. Lars didn’t lie, even if he didn’t say anything. The reason I believe him to be a king is because he doesn’t lie.
– Let’s go, if you understand. For four days the Frost branch was full, and today it will be empty!
‘i get it. Okay.’
Raon let out a soft sigh. Lars and Yooa also helped, so it would be good to repay them in moderation. To be honest, it’s pretty cheap when it comes to food.
– Well thought!
Lars giggled and soared above the bracelet.
“Where are you going?”
When he got up from his seat, Dorian raised his head.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten at a branch of frost. You go too.”
“uh?”
Dorian did not stand up and tilted his head.
“why?”
“We have been open for four days, so today is a holiday. That’s why I told the infant to come later.”
“Oh yeah?”
Raon rolled his eyes and saw Lars dancing on the bracelet.
‘You didn’t do it today.’
-… what the hell
Lars screamed evil, scratching the table like a cat with his cold hands.
-Did you even make it all together to make the king starve? Why do you get in the way if you just try to eat?
‘It’s fate. Let’s go to the soldier’s restaurant.’
Raon smiled and headed to the soldier’s dining room.
-Onion stew, crispy bread, overcooked chicken and tasteless sauce! Today’s set meal is the worst!
‘How do you know everything about the menu? .’
Lars was memorizing the menu of the soldier’s restaurant, which changes daily. I don’t know if I like it or hate it.
So, because it’s special.
* * *
Saiyan Canyon is said to be full of ferocious and powerful monsters.
Like a river bursting from a collapsed dam, a huge number of monsters were running through the sheer gorge.
The other side of the canyon where monsters rush in like a high tide.
There was a human wall. Warriors with wide-brimmed bodies and thick swords stood in a line and stared at the rushing monsters.
Woo woo woo!
The mighty sound of the horn resounded through the canyon, and the warriors raised their weapons.
“charge! Kill them all!”
A middle-aged man like a giant who stood in the front jumped into the waves of monsters and smashed down an ax the size of a human body.
Aww!
Monsters and the ground exploded at the same time, and a battle between humans and monsters was held.
“Gazah!”
“Tear it all apart!”
“Sweep it away without leaving a single one!”
“Ahhh!”
The warriors slashed their swords with ferocious smiles and drew their axes. The dry canyon was filled with blood, heat, and the joy of battle.
There was a swordsman who stood out on this battlefield so large that both humans and monsters were different from normal.
A female swordsman with black hair and black eyes, revealing her elegant beauty, was stirring the battlefield. The monsters were swept away as a handful of blood in the sword attack that followed the powerful force and established path.
Although she was the smallest on this battlefield, she radiated bravery more than anyone else. The ferocious momentum led the monsters to retreat first.
However, the black-haired swordsman seemed not to be satisfied with that, and he constantly moved and turned the monsters to pieces.
The battle that started from dawn continued until evening, and the canyon was filled with the corpses of warriors and monsters.
It was time for even seasoned warriors to get tired, but the black-haired swordsman cut the monsters’ necks and burst their hearts with a movement that did not change at all. It was ferocious as if it had been enchanted by a berserk, but her eyes were as clear as the light of the full moon.
“I won!”
“We won!”
“Aaah!”
In the end, the battle of the canyon ended in victory for the humans, and the defeated monsters returned to their original barren environment by stepping on the blood of their people.
“Whew… .”
The black-haired swordsman finally stopped his sword and raised his head. Her sword had tasted more blood than anyone else today, and under her feet the most corpses were piled up.
“Very excited. Martha.”
A middle-aged man who seemed to be the leader of the warriors approached behind her as she took a breath.
“It was a subjugating force that I was satisfied with. Are you planning to catch up with your headmaster?”
A middle-aged man put a blood-soaked ax on his shoulder and smiled coolly. This man was Beruan, the lord of the Carmine Castle that ruled the Sian Gorge and the strongest warrior.
“I have to catch up. But before that, there is a mountain to climb.”
Martha frowned as she wiped the blood on her sword.
“A mountain to climb?”
“It’s a damn high mountain.”
“Is there anyone in your age who surpasses you?”
Beruan opened his eyes. Marta was already a warrior who did her part from the moment she came here. When I asked why I practiced with all my might, it seems that there was an opponent.
“third time. No, I lost four times.”
After that, Marta ran away and murmured that she had nothing to say.
“do not worry.”
Veruan smiled and patted Marta on the shoulder.
“Since you came here, you have fought more battles than anyone else and have trained your body and mind. I don’t know who he is, but he’ll be under you now.”
“no.”
Martha shook her head resolutely.
“He’s the first real person I’ve ever met. Genius, prodigy, fakes and real monsters. No matter how many times I practice more than I do now, I won’t be able to catch up.”
“That much?”
Beruan narrowed her eyes. Martha’s talent is higher than that of her own son. I wondered who the child who gave such a sense of defeat to such a genius was.
“I feel it on my skin.”
Martha clenched her arm with chicken meat on it.
“The sound of that damn bastard’s breathing that’s still getting stronger.”
I did my best to train, but I didn’t feel like I could beat Raon. I wanted to proudly defeat Raon and erase my promise to obey his orders, but I couldn’t imagine winning against him.
In addition, his real enemy, the White Blood Church, is incomparably stronger than that of Raon. It is absurd to destroy the White Blood Church and look for her mother on a subject that can’t even defeat Raon.
“What is that guy’s name?”
Marta turned to look at Beruan’s eyes filled with surprise. After opening the curtain so that no one else could hear, he slowly opened his mouth.
“Laon. Raon Sighardt.”
He clenched his fists and spoke.
“He is a benefactor who owes his life, and he is a man I must defeat.”
“That’s not the only reason.”
Beruan laughed out loud.
“good night. For the rest of the time, I will train you myself.”
“yes? Why all of a sudden… .”
“Bring it instead.”
He slammed the ground with the ax on his shoulder and raised his chin.
“The tidbit of victory over that Raon.”

In the northwestern part of the continent, there is a desert called Revin.
It is a unique place with white sand, and it is sometimes called white sand instead of the name Levün.
Even though the sand is white, the desert is a desert, but it was a strange place in many ways where people and monsters coexist because there are surprisingly many resources.
A small village was built at the beginning of such a desert. It was not the original place, but a village made temporarily by Maiko Sanghoe, one of the Continental Athletics Championships, for the Rebuin Desert pioneering project.
In that village, a young man with blue hair and a fierce impression was moving around.
“Berren! Come this way!”
“Berren! It’s a little weird here, isn’t it?”
“hey! Burren!”
People in the village called the young man’s name and waved his hands.
“Oh, don’t call me! You can do it all!”
A young man with blue hair called Beren frowned and rolled his feet. However, even though he was angry, he went to the right side to plow the ground, and the left side helped him with everything.
“Berren! A Sand Scorpion has appeared! Come quickly!”
“shit! Why are you looking for me!”
Burren, who was angry as if he was not going, put down the pillar he was raising and ran towards the entrance of the village. He complained with his mouth, but he was helping with everything he asked for.
“Hmm.”
An intelligent-looking man wearing one-eyed glasses was savored as he watched Burren run out of town.
“Unexpected. It’s so different from my first impression.”
“Isn’t it all thanks to the teachings of the Lord of Sanghoe?”
The old man with a turban on his head grinned.
“teaching? I haven’t done anything to him.”
Lennyton, the current owner of Maiko Sanghoe, closed her eyes. Burren was already a motivated child from the moment he came here. It has already been over half a year since I had been fighting monsters during the day or helping the pioneering business, and doing personal training at night.
An ordinary person can’t stand it. It meant that Burren’s heart was full of a desire to become stronger.
“He’s a great friend. Although his personality may seem angular, he has a warm inside and his powerlessness is so outstanding that it is hard to believe he is a 16-year-old. ah!”
The old man clapped as if he remembered something.
“By the way, have you heard of the incident that happened in Habun Castle?”
“Are you saying that a swordsman the same age as Burren was alone protecting the collapsed wall?”
“you’re right. But after that, something bigger happened.”
“A bigger incident?”
“Yes. It is said that Eden has invaded there, leading the Ice Troll Lord. Also, when the elite of Milland and Habun Castle went out, the blonde swordsman alone… .”
The old man told Lennyton everything that had happened at Habun Castle a few months ago.
“Hey, that sounds like a lie.”
“I thought so too, but it seems to be true. It is said that all the soldiers of Habun Castle saw it.”
“Hmm, then… .”
Lenniton smiled slyly, pointing to Burren returning to town.
“Tell him the whole story.”
“Yes? Why are you all of a sudden?”
“I want to see how it turns out.”
“Oh, I see. All right.”
As if he understood what the old man meant, he approached Burren and unraveled the story of Habun Castle, which he had told Lennyton.
“That damn bastard!”
Burren’s green eyes twinkled like grains of sand in the desert.
“I knew it! You can’t stand still!”
He clenched his fists and smiled happily.
“Is that the goal you said you would catch up with?”
Lenniton, who had just approached, stood in front of Burren.
“you’re right.”
“What is the child’s name?”
“This is Laon.”
“He looked strong.”
“It is strong. After hearing the story, it seems that I am stronger now than I used to be.”
“Then why do you look so happy?”
Lenniton narrowed his eyes as he looked at Burren who was full of laughter.
“If the person you are targeting becomes stronger, shouldn’t you be angry or desperate?”
“No. He’s strong and he’s going to be strong, so it’s worth catching up.”
Burren shook his head resolutely. Her bright eyes gleamed like emeralds.
“If Raon does not become strong, my goal will stop there. The higher he climbs, the more I will be able to move forward with him.”
“is it.”
Lenniton’s lips rose round. He looked at Burren with a happy smile.
“Well, actually, I know this because of him.”
“I want to see a guy named Raon.”
“You will definitely be amazed.”
“But I’m more attracted to you.”
“Yes?”
“It’s rare to find a guy who truly knows his own shortcomings and raises his opponent. If I had invested, I would have done it for you.”
“ah… ”
Burren’s eyes widened at the unexpected words.
“By the way, you seem to be very close with Raon. It’s fun to be a matchmaker and a close friend.”
“Chi, you’re friendly! Absolutely not! They are just enemies!”
“I don’t think so. It was a friendly smile.”
Lenniton whirled and raised his chin.
“No!”
Burren groaned.
“I don’t want to be friends with such a guy!”
* * *
A yellow jungle where the incongruent cries of grass insects, reptiles, and monsters spread throughout the forest.
A female swordsman with purple eyes with her silver hair tied behind her back was running through the jungle twisted like a twisted snake.
Although she looked noble, her movements were as natural as melting into the jungle.
kaak!
As the silver-haired swordsman was about to pass through the swamp, Crocodark, a dark monster with the appearance of a crocodile, popped out from under the swamp and opened his mouth.
Chewy!
As she already knew, she drew the sword from her waist and swung it. The silver frost from the blade of the sword brushed the floor, freezing monsters and swamps.
“Kyaak!”
“Kee… .”
The monsters that followed were also frozen in the middle.
The silver-haired swordsman stepped forward as he watched the monsters coming up one by one on the swamp. With a thud, the earth rumbled, and silver frost spread from the part she stepped on, freezing everything around her.
“Suck!”
The silver-haired swordsman turned around in the air and started running through the frozen swamp. Small birds and insects flocked above her head like a swarm of bees, but they were all pushed out before reaching her cold breath.
As she ran in a straight line to the place where she could see the village, a warrior appeared in front of her, wearing a brown and red wooden mask, and holding a spear and a shield.
“Aww!”
Mujin threw out a spear full of red auras. The wind of frost blew over the blade of the silver-haired swordsman as the mighty spear shot aimed at the whole body.
Kyaa
The silver frost spread out in concentric circles and froze everything around, including the uninhabited.
“Ouch… .”
Mu-in wearing a mask could not move as his legs and arms were frozen, and he only moaned.
The silver-haired swordsman nodded at Mu-in and entered the village he was guarding.
“Wow!”
“It took us less than 6 hours to break through the jungle!”
“You are number one. Luna!”
“Records like this are rare even for adults!”
“Not adults, unless you’re a warlord, you can’t do it!”
“Lunan! That’s great!”
Instead of attacking, the people at the village entrance cheered around the silver-haired swordsman.
“thanks.”
Runan nodded at the villagers with a dull expression.
“At this level, we are looking forward to the future.”
“So. Have you ever had a kid with this powerlessness at 16? Only our chieftain, maybe?”
People smiled as they said that Runan would become the number one female in the future.
“there is.”
“yes?”
“I have a kid who is much stronger than me.”
Runan rarely interrupted people’s conversations.
“Wow, much stronger?”
“Better than you?”
Luna nodded.
“Then did you come here to defeat that child?”
A tall, red-haired woman approached Luna’s side. He was wearing a wooden mask, so he couldn’t see his face, but the momentum that leaked out was as grand as the sea.
“no.”
“not? then?”
“I want to be strong enough to be able to help.”
Runan spilled out the words he used to say when he was in the family.
“is it.”
The woman in the mask chuckled and slapped Runan on the back roughly.
“It’s good to have a goal for anything. But your talent can see farther away. Don’t look too far ahead.”
She said so and waited for Luna’s next jungle breakout tester.
“Well.”
Runan looked up at the back of Rei, the chieftain of this tribe and the warrior who had reached Master, and climbed up the tree right in front of the entrance.
‘Shall we eat after a long time?’
Since we have achieved a jungle breakthrough, which can also be called the test of the Katam jungle, it seemed like we could have the luxury of eating marbled ice cream after a long time.
‘But it’s not long now.’
As he was thinking about his feet in the air, he heard the voice of a young man from the village next to him. first introduced me to this place. it’s ramim
“Wow, where did you come from?”
squeak.
A cry was heard behind Ramim. It was a crow sound.
“uh? Why is this guy stuck like this? Do you like me?”
Whoa!
I got to know the jungle crow that came into the village, and I heard the sounds of Guernsey Ramim and the crow playing happily.
“great! I love it and I will grow it. Let’s name it first!”
Ramim licked his lips again and clapped his hands.
“Laon! You’re as white as a shadow, so I’d like Raon!”
As soon as he heard the name Raon, Runan jumped down from the tree.
Heading in the direction from which Ramim’s voice had been heard, a jungle crow with feathers twisted like vines was facing each other.
“Lunan? Weren’t you on the exam?”
“it’s over.”
After giving a light reply, Runan looked at the crow.
Whoa!
The crow shook his head as if to see why, and cried.
“huh.”
After a snowball fight with the crow, Runan turned and looked at Ramim.
“Ugh!”
Unlike usual, Runan’s eyes filled with strength, and Ramim took a step backwards.
“Uh, what’s going on? If I’m wrong… .”
“What is his name?”
Runan pointed to the crow walking slowly from behind.
“Hey, it’s Raon… .”
“Change your name.”
“No, it’s already Raon… .”
“Change your name.”
“It’s just as dark as a shadow. Originally, the name Raon was often used by black children… .”
“Change your name.”
Her purple eyes narrowed as frightened as they were.
“Why all of a sudden… .”
“Change your name.”
The young man’s eyes trembled at Luna’s growing pressure.
Why is he here?
* * *
Four months have passed since the war with Eden ended.
After the wave, there were no more monsters peeking around the castle because many monsters died in the war with Lord.
Although the reconnaissance went out steadily, there were no monsters or unusual things found, so Habun Castle was living an unprecedentedly peaceful day.
However, Raon, who created that peace, was busy, unlike others. The reason, of course, is training.
As soon as he recovered his injured arm at an incredible speed like a troll, he was stuck in the gym and swung his sword all day.
“Whew… .”
Raon, who had been practicing swordsmanship and swordsmanship until the moon rose again today, got up and exhaled a turbid breath.
‘It’s not going well.’
The battle between the blonde swordsman and the orc lord that I saw when I touched the centenary jewel. I tried to reproduce the swordsman’s swordsmanship that the swordsman used in the clash, but it was difficult.
It seemed that his swordsmanship and Auror’s level was much higher than he is now.
‘Because the Orc Lord was also terribly strong.’
The Orc Lord, who fought against the blonde swordsman, was not a monster, but had the same momentum as a warrior who had reached the level of a Master or higher. Neither of them were capable of dealing with them now.
‘Still, I have to keep going.’
Both past and present lives did not know the word giving up. If you consistently train your sword and train your body, one day you will open the door to that realm.
“Laon!”
As he was about to swing the sword again, the door to the gym opened and Dorian’s face popped out.
“It’s time to go to the night border.”
“ah.”
Raon looked at the moon in the sky and let out a sigh mixed with regret. It was time to go to work.
“okay. let’s go.”
I put my sword in and followed Dorian to the castle wall.
“What do you think of the master while repeating the same swordsmanship?”
“What do you think? just do it.”
“crane!”
He just gave me a normal answer, but Dorian opened his mouth.
“Because I just do it. It really is like a different world. uh I can not.”
The guy mumbled that he couldn’t stand it, and took herbal juice from his stomach pocket and drank it.
“Would you like one?”
“done.”
Raon waved her hands and climbed up the wall. The moon is clear on a cloudless night. In the distance, I could see the white mist surrounding Mount Sterlin.
‘Good day.’
Today, I operated Glacier thinking that it would be nice to see the scenery.
There’s no need to just send a perimeter mission. I had to stand still and look around, so it was the perfect time to expand the sea of senses.
‘by the way.’
Raon looked around through the sea of senses, and saw Lars hanging on his wrist.
‘It’s quiet these days.’
With the exception of Teng-Kang, who suggested that we go to the branch of Surrey to eat, he has been strangely calm lately.
‘I wish I could give you a bit of a run.’
If you wager or fight with Lars, your stats will go up easily, so I missed his argument.
t.
Lass bloomed like smoke from the flower bracelet while I was eating again with regret. He glanced at the top of Mount Sterlin in the distance, then turned his head.
-Raon Sieghard. I have something to say.
‘I can’t eat right now. I’m on a mission.’
– It’s not like that! Do you think the main king is a carnivore?
‘Isn’t it?’
– Ouch! The real you is… Whoa.
Lars sharpened it. He looked at himself with narrowed eyes and sighed.
‘Then what?’
-Let’s make a bet with Bonwang after a long time.
‘betting?’
bet?
It is said that the most difficult thing for fraudulent gamblers to cheat is to put the hogu on the board. This situation was no different from Hogu walking to the temple and sitting on the board.
Red heat rose in Raon’s eyes.
Hogu Las again?
