Episode 213
“Lord of the Thousand Swords.”
Burren walked over to Cheryl, raising her eyebrows slightly.
“Raon doesn’t come so much, shouldn’t we have to go find him?”
“It’s a little late.”
Martha also lifted her back from the tree and nodded.
“Are you worried?”
Cheryl looked at Burren and Martha with calm eyes.
“Hey, what are you worried about? Absolutely not!”
Martha shook her head quickly, as if it was nonsense.
“you’re right. It’s just that the departure is late… .”
Burren lowered his eyes and scratched his head.
“is it.”
Cheryl smiled lightly as she watched the two of them waving their hands widely.
“Well… .”
As Raon instructed, Runan was looking at the sky with blind eyes without leaving the area near the carriage.
“Aren’t you worried about Luna?”
Encia leaned her head out of the carriage window and called for Runan.
“unrest?”
“Raon went out alone, but you still haven’t come.”
She shook her hand as if worried because she knew what was going on.
“Don’t worry.”
Luna slowly shook her head.
“Raon doesn’t lose.”
With her calm expression and short words, it was revealed just how much she trusted Raon.
“I heard that Gwangpungdan was created not too long ago, and the trust relationship is wonderful.”
Encia looked at the Gwangpung members and smiled.
“It has to be. It’s been 6 years since we were trainees together.”
“ah! Did you all join the swordsmanship as trainees?”
“Yes. But today, a little later than usual… uh! Incessant lord!”
As Dorian looked around, Raon appeared from the forest path on the right. He had an unknown person on his shoulder.
“Laon!”
“Why are you here so late!”
“I was just worried.”
Runan ran, Marta frowned, and Burren gave a faint smile.
“It’s a little far away.”
Raon smiled at the three different reactions and approached Cheryl.
“Is it all over?”
Sheryl narrowed her eyes as she looked at Themus’ corpse.
“Yes. But there might be some problems… .”
Raon laid down Themus’ body on the floor.
“It’s a problem… .”
Cheryl was calm when she saw that the body was Themus. It seems that the moment the truth that had been hiding his presence was broken, he realized that Themus was the instigator.
“Come on, wait!”
“That’s the senator!”
“Te, Themus?”
“Huh? The senator was after us? why!”
“crazy… .”
Both the Thousand Swords and the Gwangpungdan opened their mouths in astonishment when they saw Themus’ corpse.
“Ahh… .”
Encia wrapped her arms around Themus’s pulse and her lips trembled.
“Is there any evidence that this person ordered the raid?”
“For once, there is this truth. There… .”
Raon explained the true fate and even told Themus that he had mastered self-defense, and that his heart suddenly stopped while interrogating him.
“It’s Rage Worm.”
Sheryl frowned as she looked at Themus’ corpse, which had burst blood.
“It seems that someone is behind Themus.”
She quickly discovered the identity of the Rage Worm, and even noticed that there was a behind the scenes. Again, it was not common knowledge.
“Didn’t you hear who it was?”
“Yes. I didn’t hear it.”
Leon shook his head.
‘Now is not the time.’
Unless there is solid evidence that Derus Robert was involved, it’s not a good idea to bring up his name here.
Because the cause is weak, a war between Sieghardt and the Robert family may break out, killing innocent people endlessly.
‘And he’s mine.’
I have no intention of giving Derus an easy death. It will destroy the forces it cherishes one after the other, giving them despair, and then decapitating them at the last moment.
“is it.”
Cheryl nodded as if she knew it.
“Laon.”
“Yes?”
“I’m going to do all of this on my own.”
Without even letting it dry, she engraved a sword on Themus’s body.
“Dear, Lord?”
“Why all of a sudden… .”
When the Thousand Sword Master said that he would take the fame that solved everything, people opened their eyes.
“Wait, to protect your reputation… Suck!”
Raon shut Crane’s mouth as he spoke nonsense, and looked at Cheryl.
“Can you explain why?”
“Themus is a congressman who has had a good influence across the continent. Even if you have a blood poison, a hole in your teeth, and even if you have a true history, someone who will not believe you, or someone who will attack you may appear.”
Cheryl continued to speak in her usual plain tone.
“In other words, what you get from killing this person is not a good reputation. There is a very high chance that the person behind Themus will get revenge on you and the gang. It’s better to spread the word that I did this alone.”
‘It was meant to protect you, too.’
Sheryl said she would take the track record of solving this case to protect herself and the gang from behind Themus.
‘You’re a good person.’
Contrary to her cold-hearted and strict appearance, Cheryl had a warmth that cared for many things.
“I am grateful, but I can’t.”
Raon shook his head slowly.
‘Because I don’t want others to suffer because of me.’
If information spreads like this, Derus might be aiming for the Thousand Sword Master. It was unacceptable that revenge caused trouble for others.
“Why?”
“I don’t know who is behind Themus, but I can’t leave the work to the Great Swordsman. I was the one who insulted Themus and took Miss Encia with me. I… .”
As she was speaking, Cheryl’s right hand approached. He grabbed his middle finger with his thumb and plucked his forehead.
“Ugh!”
He groaned involuntarily at the sudden pain.
“Who is the guy who doesn’t even have blood on his head to be so cocky about worrying?”
Cheryl wrinkled her forehead.
“I am in charge of this mission. I decide the outcome and the process.”
“Well… .”
“I definitely told you to do it yourself, and you followed the instructions sufficiently. Because I made this result. I take responsibility.”
“Lord of the Heavenly Swords… .”
“Who do you think I am over there?”
A terrifying aura slowly rose from her body to the point that her body trembled.
“I am the first sword that protects the Lord. If it’s not for him, it doesn’t matter if the opponent is the head of the Yukhuang Oma.”
As if she knew something, Cheryl turned around, saying that she was the head of the Yukhuang Oma. She circled around, spreading the aurora throughout the forest, just as she left Themus.
“Big… .”
“After all, our great lord!”
“The Lord can’t care about such a reputation!”
“I fell in love with her confident appearance again!”
The prosecutors of the Cheon Swordsman team smiled as if they knew it.
“Wow, that’s the responsibility.”
“different. Totally different.”
“If it were that person, he would have handed it over to Raon somehow… .”
The swordsmen of the Windswept team ate up thinking about the red-haired elf who was on the opposite side of Cheryl.
“Well… .”
Raon looked at Cheryl’s back and let out a light breath.
‘I think I should create an opportunity.’
Guess I’ll have to create a chance to let Cheryl know that it’s Derus who did it later. Even if that happens, she doesn’t seem to change her mind.
‘Anyway, I’ve earned a little time.’
Cheryl seemed to be able to delay the exposure of the name to Derus quite a bit. In the meantime, it seemed like he would have to break his plans one by one.
“thank you.”
Raon bowed his head towards Cheryl, who left traces of the battle here and there in the forest.
“Lord!”
When he raised his head, Dorian ran towards him with a red face.
“Today I saw the god of supply! Teach me!”
“What?”
“It was more than a surprise, it was thrilling to block a dangerous situation altogether with contextual artifacts! I will treat you as Master!”
The guy fell flat on his stomach. His eyes gleamed brightly, as if he was admiring the situation in which he had pulled out an appropriate tool and perfectly blocked the enemy’s attack.
“This is a coincidence.”
It wasn’t because I was well prepared for the supply, but because I had memories of my previous life.
“It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a god of supply if it is about the constant Lord. You’ve been testing me all along! Teach me!”
Dorian shook his head violently as if it was absolutely not, and shouted for instruction.
“Laon!”
Encia got off the carriage and approached her with blank eyes.
“You’re handsome, you’re strong, you’re good-looking, but you’re perfectly prepared, you’re good-looking, and you have good hair. And he’s so handsome!”
Her eyes shone as if she was looking at some kind of jewel.
“Laon. Handsome. Be well prepared. A lot of money!”
Runan grabbed Dorian’s side and raised his fist. Unlike other people, it was better because his eyes were blind.
“eww!”
Raon frowned at the three of them and stepped back.
‘I’m getting more and more followers… .’
* * *
Raon left for Letran after recording the assassins and the situation around the forest as artifacts that image and store vision.
Since there might be other attacks, they moved non-stop and were able to arrive at the end of the Kreun forest when the next evening came.
“It has finally arrived.”
“Oh, I can take a break now.”
Dorian smiled as he looked at the round forest road. Crane nodded as he looked at the exit of the forest where bright light was emitting.
“Our mission is not over until we recover Encia-sama and return. Wake.”
Burren looked at the two of them and narrowed his eyes.
“Didn’t you hear that there’s a war here? If you don’t come to your senses, your neck will fly off.”
Martha frowned as she slapped Dorian and Crane on the shoulder.
“Sorry, I’m sorry.”
“You don’t have to worry so much.”
Ecken, who was in the lead, looked back and smiled.
“The longer the war, the less serious the situation. I’m just holding on because of my pride. It can be treated without any problems… uh?”
He maintained a smile, but the moment he left the forest, he hardened like a doll that had fallen off the string.
“what… .”
Raon also followed Ecken and stopped. Even in the evening, the view was bright as if the sun had risen again.
“ah!”
not moonlight It was the shadow of the fire burning in Letran.
“There is a problem.”
Cheryl frowned as she looked at Letran engulfed in flames.
“The Gwangpungdan will go with me, and the Thousand Swordsman will lead the wagon.”
“Yes!”
She jumped out before she could even hear Ecken’s answer.
“let’s go!”
“Yes!”
Raon also beckoned to Gwangpungdan and followed Cheryl.
‘What the hell is going on… .’
There is no way to fight on this scale unless the two families that divide Letran are crazy. It must have been something different from the war.
percussion!
Raon followed Cheryl over the gates of Letran and stood on top of the walls. The flames erupted from the outskirts, and the city was full of corpses and blood.
Chaa!
He looked to the left at the sound of the sword and the sword clashing.
The monsters, dressed in green and red hoods, were wielding swords and axes, both unmanned and civilians.
“Eden… .”
“Green ear and red ear!”
Behind them, Burren and Martha’s bewildered voices could be heard. Because they collided in Cebu, everyone in the Gwangpungdan recognized the demons of Eden at once.
Red and green are not all. Officers wearing monster armor were also seen everywhere.
“I don’t have time, so I’ll give you directions right away. Cut down all the red and green demons in the village. There is no need for interrogation. Save as many people as possible!”
As soon as Cheryl gave the order, she ran to the central boulevard. It seemed to be targeting the Eden executives who slaughter the uninhabited in the center of the city.
“According to the orders of the Great Swordsman, dispose of the Red Demon and the Green Demon, and then gather in the center of the city.”
“All right!”
Raon gave further orders and jumped down the wall. I ran to the left, where I felt the energy of red and green demons the most.
‘Damn bastards… .’
Unconsolidated blood was dripping from the hill, and a corpse that had not cooled down was seen with its blood in its eyes.
The red and green demons, unaware that they had arrived, blew out screams that were no different from monsters, and slashed swords and axes at civilians.
Aww!
Raon stepped forward enough to break the ground and stopped everyone.
Red and Green Demons turned around, carrying weapons soaked in blood.
“Sighardt?”
“Why Sieghard?”
Without answering, I stepped on the Taehwabo. It caused a phenomenon that the ground was folded and further slashed the Jecheon Sword. The silver blade swept past the green and red demons without any hesitation.
Whoa!
Before they reacted, I turned to the right and pushed back the second sword strike. On the blade, young flames split in spirals, cutting off the remaining green and red ears.
thick.
In the blink of an eye, the necks of the ten red and green demons rolled to the floor.
“uh… .”
“Huh!”
Those who were almost killed by the green demon, who survived, slumped to their feet with harsh breaths.
“Everyone, who are you… .”
“I am from Sieghard. Go to the center of town. That’s where you live.”
I didn’t have time to explain. The demons of Eden that caused the slaughter had to be cut down as soon as possible.
oh oh oh!
Opened up Glacia’s senses. They moved along and cut down all the demons that were slaughtering.
‘These crazy people… .’
Although it has not been long since I came here, more than 30 people have already cut down green and red ears. It seems that the Edenites were trying to erase the entire place.
‘Is that the last one?’
Raon ran towards the building that was built with smooth curves.
“Ahhh!”
It was a temple dedicated to the god of fertility, but the door had already been broken and an urgent scream could be heard from within.
Aww!
Upon entering, the demon of Eden, wearing the armor of an orc warrior, was slashing at the swordsmen in brown robes.
The sides were full of corpses, and behind the prosecutors, what appeared to be civilians, were trembling with their eyes closed.
‘Green ears? No, different.’
He was stronger than the one he had cut in Cebu and had a different temperament. The people inside the Manastone also seemed to be different beings.
“What are you?”
The green devil turned around without slashing his sword.
“I don’t mind interrupting mealtime… Cuckoo!”
Raon didn’t give him a chance to speak. I stepped on Taehwaibo and jumped inside at once.
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
The blue blade that captured the moonlight from the broken grate was drawn diagonally.
“Rub… .”
The green turtle sank to the floor, grabbing the blood-gushing neck.
– Slugs are also growing.
Lars narrowed his eyes as he looked at the corpse of the green worm.
– That strange armor. Don’t you have the same energy as the guy you fought with about 4 years ago? At the time, they barely won, but now they cut them with a single sword.
‘Because a lot of time has passed.’
Since then, a lot of time, effort, and hogu have been caught, so it was natural to see a difference.
“Ahh… .”
“No, the green ear with one sword… .”
“You are… .”
The swordsmen in brown uniforms widened their eyes as if they were more surprised that the green ear had been cut by a single sword than they had survived.
“Are you okay?”
Raon lowered his sword and approached the survivors.
“Go, thank you!”
“Thank you very much!”
When they woke up, people began to cry and bow their heads.
“What the hell happened?”
Raon approached the swordsman who seemed to protect everyone. Most of the demons of Eden outside were dealt with, so it was time to hear the story.
“That, that… .”
“By the way, where did you go? Had he been there, I would not have come to this point.”
The saint of rags, Pederic, is also a warrior who has risen to the rank of Master. It runs a lot compared to medicine, but it has the power to not be pushed anywhere.
“I, I will explain.”
A female priest who appeared to be in her early 20s raised her hand.
“you are… .”
“I am Priest Rosie, who aided the saint here.”
Rosie sighed and stood in front of Raon. My legs were trembling because I was still scared.
“Around noon today, while I was examining patients from two families with the saint, the assassins suddenly appeared.”
“assassin… .”
Raon narrowed his eyes. It seems that Themus was not only targeting himself, but also Pederic.
“The Basin and Trian families, who received a lot of help from the saint, took a brief truce and worked together to drive out the assassins. The atmosphere between the two families was not bad, perhaps thanks to the fact that they were wielding swords against the same enemy.”
It will be. Because the Basin and Trian families also wanted to end this sluggish war.
“So we decided to continue the temporary truce for a little while and set up a place to eat together, but suddenly a fire started on the outskirts of the city.”
Raon frowned at the sound of fire. Now I can only guess how it turned out.
“The warriors of the two families scattered to put out the fire, and the demons of Eden attacked the gap. A lot of the demons of Eden also died, but the damage of the family swordsmen who were away was much greater.”
Rosie couldn’t help it and bit her lip.
“Didn’t the saint come forward?”
“Of course he came out and moved to save people. But that didn’t happen.”
“What… .”
I didn’t understand her words.
“Because the purpose of Eden was to be a saint.”
“Yes?”
“As soon as the saint appeared, Eden put in four master-level ghosts as if waiting. The two drew attention by conducting a massacre in the center of the city, while the other two attacked the saint. In other words, the saint was the goal.”
Rosie took a deep breath.
“The saint realized that he was the purpose of Eden, and took Julius out of Letran. Thanks to you, we are still alive.”
It seems that Fedric fled, drawing Eden’s attention to save this city. However, there was a name I had heard for the first time.
“Julius?”
“It is the cause of the war between the two families in this city.”
I knew who He seemed to be a child of genius talent that made the family war.
“Maybe Eden… .”
“Yes. They were targeting both the saint and the child.”
“Why are they aiming for the saint?”
Raon narrowed his eyes. Eden was always looking for someone to put on the armor, so I understood that he was aiming for a child, but he couldn’t remember why he was even targeting Pederic.
“Because of the flowers that the saint has.”
“What kind of flower… .”
“Raysin.”
“ah!”
“It is a treasure that can save 10,000 people if made into a drug, and can kill 100,000 if it is made with poison.”
Rosie trembled with her hand on her chest.
“Eden is aiming for the lives of the children, the saints, and the Raysin.”
* * *
After sending Rosie and the men to safety, Raon headed to the center where Cheryl had gone.
All of the Eden executives who were seated there had their heads dropped, and a gang of windmills and wagons had arrived.
“I will explain briefly. Eden is aiming for both the saint’s life and the child. The saint left this place with a child to prevent the destruction of the village. They will still be chased.”
She, too, knew that the saint had taken Julius with him. But I didn’t know about Raysin.
“There is one more reason.”
Leon raised his hand.
“Eden is aiming for the Raisin that the saint has.”
“Raysin… .”
The prosecutors’ impressions of whether they knew the name were even more distorted.
“Are you trying to target children, saints, and even Raysin? You are too greedy for the subject of ghosts.”
Cheryl smiled coldly and clenched her fists.
“Econ, Raon. Together with the swordsmen, protect Encia-sama and the citizens of Letran.”
“All right!”
“… … .”
Ekken answered right away, but Raon walked over to Cheryl without a word.
“I will go too.”
“This is no joke.”
Cheryl frowned and shook her head.
“As I heard here, there are only four master-level ghosts. Actually, there are probably more people who are chasing the saint. You cannot afford it.”
“With him is the silver of life.”
Raon came one step closer.
“If you don’t pay it back, it’s like embezzlement.”
“you… .”
“Give me a chance.”
Sheryl’s eyes fluttered slightly at Raon’s serious momentum.
