Episode 145
“Wow… .”
Terian let out a low moan and got up.
“Am I dead?”
I remembered that I was crushed by the energy of a monster approaching the castle and lost my mind. My father couldn’t stop it, so I thought he was dead first.
“Whoa, it doesn’t seem like the afterlife yet.”
Wolves mercenary leader Beto pointed to the sky with trembling hands. The sun had risen a long time ago, but it was still dark.
“Then how did you survive?”
“I don’t know. No one seemed to stop the monster… .”
“I, that one!”
“young master!”
Edquill and Dorian, who woke up late, stood up while looking up at the wall.
“What are you… ah!”
Following their gaze, Terian opened his eyes.
Under the darkened sky. There was a single line inspection. Although he did not raise a sword, he looked bigger than any other uninhabited man in the world.
oh oh oh!
The curtain of darkness that had dyed the sky faded like the ebb and flow, and the frightened golden sun was revealed to the world again.
The way the auspicious light spread out from Raon was a mystery itself.
“Hey, Raon… .”
“Laon!”
“No, how… .”
The people who woke up one by one looked at Raon’s back and shook their shoulders. When everyone passed out, he was thrilled to learn that Raon had defended the wall alone.
Raon slowly turns his head. The face with a faint smile was full of fatigue and pain. Rather, he looked down with his sunken eyes as if to confirm the safety of this place.
“Everyone is fine.”
A dry voice flows like the sand in the desert.
“The promise was kept.”
Raon smiled softly without wrinkling.
“Hey, promise?”
“What promise are you talking about?”
“suddenly… ”
“ah!”
Dorian clapped and licked his lips.
“You said Raon-sama earlier about fighters! Let’s all survive! It means you kept that word!”
“Ah, that… .”
“Then you didn’t mean to survive, did you mean to let me survive?”
“Hey, Raon… .”
“Laon!”
People looked at Raon, who was smiling softly, and bit their lips tightly. Otherwise, I was about to cry.
“Because he doesn’t come anymore. No need to worry… ah.”
Raon was about to shake his hand, but he stopped. Close your eyes and step back. People under the wall tried to run, but the distance was too far.
“Laon!”
“Dangerous!”
As Raon’s head was about to hit the stone wall, a thick arm came up and grabbed him.
“Whew… ”
it’s milland He, who had fainted, stood up and pulled Raon, who had fallen.
“Commander!”
Milland nodded as if it was okay, and supported Raon with her shoulders.
“The fight is over.”
He stood at the edge of the wall with arduous steps.
“Applause and cheers to the hero!”
A voice like Milland’s roar touched the hearts of those who were still puzzled.
“Woah ah ah ah!”
“Laon! Raon! Laon!”
“Hero of Habun Castle!”
Raon’s unheard of name and cheers echoed endlessly in the sky of Habun Castle.
* * *
Two days have passed since the disaster called Sloth.
Raon hadn’t woken up yet, and Milland and Terian and other executives were gathering in the conference room after taking a short break.
“Is everyone okay?”
Milland, seated in the center of the round table, glanced down at the executives. He asks for the welfare of others, but his condition, with a tan under his eyes, seemed the most serious.
“I rested a bit and it was fine.”
Deputy Commander Terian nodded first.
“I’m fine too.”
“I still have a headache. It’s because he died and then came back to life.”
Edquil, the supremacist, bowed his head slightly, and Beto rubbed his temple.
The knights who had endured for a long time, or the masters of the sword corps, shook their heads with a pale face as if they had not yet had a mental shock.
“I passed out early, so the aftereffects weren’t too bad.”
“I think I just slept for a while and then woke up. I am not in good shape.”
On the other hand, the reconnaissance commanders who lost their minds first had well-behaved faces.
“But what was he?”
Recon Captain No. 3 Radin began to say something that no one could say.
“Isn’t it obvious when you see the three horns and the magic that distorts the space? They are demons.”
Milland clenched her fists and continued.
“It is also a high-ranking demon. I’ve encountered demons a few times when I was young, but this was my first time. It was completely different.”
“It certainly wasn’t even a match… .”
“Choi, isn’t it almost like a Demon King if it’s the highest-ranking demon?”
The executives trembled as they recalled the overwhelming wave of Sloth they had seen two days ago.
“It could be the Demon King.”
“Yes?”
“I am really?”
When the sound of the demon king came out of Milland’s mouth, the executives swallowed dry saliva.
“As the Master, I couldn’t even stand it. To deal with him, you need to be the boss of Yukhwang and Oma.”
He frowned at the thought of Sloth, who was leading the darkness.
“Then what is Raon-sama who sent such a demon king-class monster back?”
Edquill’s voice, which he had been listening to quietly, crossed the silence of the conference hall.
“Everyone here would have been ready to die. No, to be honest, death was certain when the commander fell. But not one of us died.”
Edquil continued to look around Millland and the executives.
“You all know. The person who saved us is Raon-sama.”
All the executives nodded as if in agreement.
“The question arises here. I wonder how Raon-sama saved us from a monster that even the commander could not withstand, and how he sent the monster back.”
“exactly… .”
“I am also amazed that I am alive.”
“What the hell did you do?”
The executives also frowned as if it was a question.
“Are you suspicious of Raon?”
“no.”
Terian looked at Edquill and frowned. But Edquil shook his head without any reaction.
“I’m saying this because I think Raon must have sacrificed something precious to him.”
“sacrifice?”
“There is no way that Raon could have defeated the demon by force. Then all that remains is a contract or a transaction. I think, but Raon-sama would have risked his soul and body to save the people of the castle.”
Edquill bit his lip. Blood dripped from his parched lips.
“The Raon I have seen so far is such a man. They want to save others even at the cost of themselves.”
“Whew… .”
“That kid is like that.”
“Laon… .”
Terian and the officers let out a deep sigh as they thought Edquill was right.
“I heard the word deal coming out of Raon’s mouth while he was fainting.”
Milland leaned forward and closed his eyes.
“deal… .”
“Are you really?”
“okay. I don’t know the other words, but I’ve definitely heard the word deal.”
“Also… .”
“this!”
Edquill frowned, and Terian covered his eyes with his hand.
“The content of the contract between demons and humans is usually power. Demons hand over their power to humans and take their souls. But this time, the deal Raon made is clear.”
Milland shook his hand on the table as if in anger.
“He would have sacrificed his soul and saved our lives.”
“It would be.”
“Shit… .”
Everyone realized it, so he grunted his teeth and bowed his head.
“Commander.”
Edquill let out a thin breath and called out to Milland.
“Who the hell is Raon? I think the time has come for you to speak.”
“Well, it would be unreasonable to deceive now.”
Milland nodded slowly.
“Raon Sieghard. That’s his name.”
“It was Sieghard.”
“Also… .”
“Well, that should be it.”
The officers were not surprisingly surprised. The performance you showed was great, so I guess I expected it to some extent.
“Did you know?”
“The only places in which a 16-year-old child can have that level of power and mental strength are Yuhuang and Oma. Raon-sama’s temperament is close to true, not demon, so I thought it was a succulent.”
“Now that you know it’s Sieghard, are you going to give up on revenge?”
“I never thought of revenge. Rather, I want to follow him.”
Edquil shook his head calmly.
“Are you following me?”
“Laon-sama?”
“You were beaten by Raon!”
The executives narrowed their eyes, asking what the hell were they thinking.
“It was fun to win. Thanks to you, I calmed down. If it wasn’t for him, I would have lost my original intentions and lived my whole life harassing the weak.”
Edquil stood up, radiating clean eyes. He stood in front of the scout commanders and bowed his head at a right angle.
“I was so full of self-will, I forgot that I was a comrade and did something lacking. I’m really sorry.”
“uh?”
“Why, why? You all apologized!”
“okay. Why do you say you’re sorry so many times… .”
“I thought I had to apologize properly in a public place like this.”
He bowed his head to the end of the scouts waving his hands and got up.
“Even if it is not for today, I have decided to follow Raon-sama. Even if he doesn’t accept it, I will follow him. Commander. Please expel me from the sinful temple.”
Edquill knelt before Milland and bowed his head.
“It’s urgent.”
Milland snorted and raised his chin.
“Yes?”
“You are not the only one who owes him your life.”
At that, all the officers in the room nodded their heads.
“Raon has saved the lives of everyone in this castle many times. We should make up for what he lost.”
Milland smiled and raised Edquill from his knees.
“I will support him too.”
* * *
uh… .
Raon slowly opened his eyes.
‘what?’
I thought my body was broken because of the fight with Sloth, but my arms and legs were light as if I woke up from a good night’s sleep.
“It’s strange… .”
He tilted his head and stood up in a different physical condition than expected. Not only the body and mind, but also the senses seemed to have become more sensitive.
-Strange? Are you weird?
When I thought it was because of the increased stats, Lars soared like a pillar of fire from the Ice Flower Bracelet.
-Your head is the strangest! You dirty cheater!
Blood stood in Lars’ eyes. He looks really angry.
‘Ah, thank you. I lived thanks to you
– What do you mean thank you?
‘You’ve been arguing about the demon realm every day. Even though I listened with one ear and spilled it through the other, it remained in my memory, so it was easy to use the information.
– Hey, this guy… .
‘Because you thought you won everything, you gave me information about Sloth. I would really be dead without you. You are also a generous giving tree. Lars.’
Raon smiled brightly and waved his hand.
– Whoops!
Lars blew out the chill and rolled his eyes.
– I will kill you. I’ll put a cold spear into your soul anyway!
‘Do that later.’
Raon waved his hand at Lars, who was about to rush in.
‘I’ll take a look at the message first. I think I got something pretty good.’
– You devil! You’re the first one who cheated on the two demon kings since heaven and earth opened!
‘Are there no scammers in the Demon Realm?’
-If there was another guy like you, the world would have already been destroyed!
‘okay?’
He smiled and recalled past messages.
[He competed for power with a transcendent being.]
[The spirit level is greatly increased.]
[All stats increase by 4 points.]
Just by standing face to face, the level of the soul rises and all stats rise, Sloth’s mighty power touched his skin once again.
– Does it make sense to raise the level of the soul after only surviving for a few minutes?
‘Hmm… .’
Raon narrowed his eyes as he looked at the evil Ras.
‘That guy is equal to or higher than Sloth.’
He still couldn’t believe that Hogu, who pours out his complaints every day and chases after food, is stronger than Sloth.
[The rank of the cartoonist has increased.]
[The manga artist has risen to 4 stars.]
A cartoonist who stayed at 3 stars became 4 stars. It was worthwhile to raise a comic book artist to the point of dying to survive Sloth.
I felt that the sphere of heat rising from the danjeon was bigger and more sincere than before.
‘Then maybe… .’
I looked at the following message.
[The cold air is combined with Glacia.]
[Glassia’s rating is increased to 4 stars.]
As expected.
Glacier, who had been operating like a cartoonist, merged with the cold of the cold, and reached the level of 4 stars. The sphere of cold next to the cartoonist’s aura also radiated purer energy.
The Ring of Fire did not increase, but the achievement increased tremendously. It seemed that one more ring would be added soon.
‘In order to become strong quickly, you have to fight the strong.’
The state of ignorance, which had been blocked by just bumping into a strong man with all his might, broke through the wall at once. It is still true to say that practice is the best training.
– Whoa!
A sound came from Lars as if he was holding his breath. It was as if he was forcing his boiling anger to subside.
[Attribute
[When sleeping, a small amount of stats increase, and health and aura recovery speed are greatly increased.]
When they saw the third message, Raon and Las opened their eyes together.
– This is crazy!
“I’m sleeping, but my stats increase?”
I read the message again, thinking I had misunderstood. But it is. It was written that even if you sleep, your ability will increase.
“Wow… .”
My mind went blank. Since it is written as a trace amount, it will rise in decimal units, but where is that? From now on, 24 hours was like a training session.
– Sloth! This mojiri child! I should have killed you before, eh!
Lars squeaked, saying that he was the only one who didn’t kill Sloth.
“That’s why I felt so light.”
It seemed to have fully recovered thanks to
But the message is not over yet.
[You overcame the terrible interruption of
[Water property resistance increases.]
[Health stats increase by 2 points.]
[Sensory stats increase by 2 points.]
[Increases agility by 1 point.]
“Why didn’t I say this?”
Without this message, I would have been disappointed.
-Ooo depending… .
Lars hangs around the corner of the bed like clothes on a clothesline. It seemed to see itself in the words of the loser.
“So who’s going to interrupt?”
– Shut up. How can you stand being deceived by selling the name of the main king!
The boy gritted his teeth and shook his head.
-Eating two demon kings on their backs! The hypocrites in heaven are not as good as you!
‘Is that a compliment?’
-You sold the name of the ear drumstick every time, and now even the real king! Your wickedness has already gone too far!
Lars raised his fist while speaking like a hero to the subject of the Demon King.
– Whatever I do, I will stop your evil deeds!
‘It doesn’t matter whether you stop or not, before that.’
Raon smiled and lifted his four fingers together.
‘Hand over the bet reward now.’
– My, bet reward?
‘Am I going out of this city? A bet on whether or not to go out.’
-ah… .

Now that he remembered it, Lars’ eyes widened.
“You believed in Sloth, wasn’t it? He’ll be sleeping hugging the goblin king’s manastone, so he won’t come here from now on. Let’s end the bet now.”
-Turn it off, come on, wait!
Lars waved his hands and stepped back.
– Laon?
The boy’s voice softened, as if wrapped in silk.
– Do you remember when you were looking for a manager? You went outside, but didn’t the main king pass you over with a generous heart?
“I do remember, but why don’t you ask me to take a look at it? The king of the demon realm will not be so petty.”
Raon narrowed his eyes and shook his head.
“Cancer, don’t. What would a wrathful lord who loved his subordinates, generous, and stubborn would say such a thing?”
– Well… .
Lars, who was about to speak, shook his hands. It was as if the words he wanted to say ran back down his throat.
“why? Say what you want to say.”
Raon smiled and nodded to continue.
– Wow! You bastard! Eat it all and burst your stomach!
Lars’ eyes fluttered as if he was about to burst into tears.
[You have won the bet with anger.]
Today, the message window shone beautifully.
Hahahahahah this MC
mc never leaves a moment to torment wrath
Poor Warth he is clearly the victim in this story.
