“What are you… .”
Raon turned around, leaving behind Radin, who seemed to be half out of his mind.
Wow!
As if they had been waiting, five Shark Malls split the ground and jumped out.
“Kyaaaaak!”
The closest Sharkmaul opened its mouth wide as if trying to swallow it in one bite and took it down.
“It’s simple.”
Sharkmaul’s attack was as fast and powerful as it was simple, but to someone who had his senses wide open, it only seemed slow.
Raon leaned back. The moment Sharkmaul’s head stopped in the air, he drew a half moon with his sword.
Pukaak!
Sharkmaul spewed out red blood and split diagonally.
“Crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr .”
“Kwiik!”
The remaining four Sharkmauls did not rush to attack the dead creature in front of them. He lowered his posture and raised his claws.
“Defend… .”
Raon stepped on the frozen ground and moved forward. He swung his sword and unleashed deadly force.
“It wouldn’t be meaningful.”
He kicked the ground and rushed towards Shark Mole. They struck their claws at the same time as if they had been waiting.
‘I knew it would be like this.’
Even if you try to defend yourself, it is a monster that ultimately follows its instincts. I expected him to be impatient and make the first move.
Raon dodged Sharkmaul’s attack by slightly opening his shoulders and then swung his sword.
Sigh!
The red-hot blade tore the Sharkmaul’s body in half on the right.
“Siaaaak!”
The Shark Malls, sensing a crisis, rushed in from three directions at the same time. He bared his teeth and lashed out his nails.
Huh!
Raon let Shark Mall’s attack flow like a stream just by changing the direction of his ankle three times.
‘what?’
The senses became more sensitive, as if the area of the skin had increased. Everything felt tangible: how the Sharkmaul’s muscles were moving, where its claws were pointing, and how much strength it had in its jaw.
‘Is this Glacia’s real power?’
A feeling as if the skin has become this space itself. It seemed like the real way to use Glacia was to maximize one’s senses not only in reconnaissance, but also in battle.
“Siaaa!”
“Kyaaaa!”
Raon dodged the onslaught of Shark Mall’s attacks by just a piece of paper and swung his sword. The red flower that bloomed on the blade cut off Sharkmaul’s windpipe.
Whoa!
When the heart of the fourth Sharkmaul, which charged like a bull, was pierced, the last remaining one turned its back and went back into the hole it came from.
Coo coo coo coo!
It raised its fins and began to run away in the direction of the North Sea.
“Where are you going?”
Raon put down his sword and pulled out the requiem sword he was wearing at his waist. He held the blade between his thumb and index finger and raised the cartoon ball into a polar position.
I closed my eyes and opened up the sea of sensation again. The sound of Shark Mole’s breathing as it runs away rings in my ears.
It seemed as if I could see the movement of the thing shaking its arms and legs in fear. After predicting the direction and distance, he unleashed a non-sword technique he had learned in his previous life.
Whoa!
The requiem sword flew along the red-hot Yogi’s line, splitting the ground and piercing Sharkmaul’s head.
Bright red blood spurted from the hole created by the requiem sword.
‘It’s over.’
Raon walked to the place where the last Sharkmaul died and pulled out his requiem sword.
Wooooow!
The requiem sword rang out as if it had done well.
‘okay. Good job.’
Raon chuckled and wiped the blood off the blade.
-What does it mean to be good at something? If you can’t do those things, it has no value as a dagger.
Lars said bluntly as if it was no big deal.
Ugh!
The requiem sword shook as if it was laughing while looking at Ras.
-What! The real king can’t do it? How dare you tackle such a trivial topic!
Ras, who interpreted the requiem sword’s words, raised his anger.
‘no. no.’
Raon calmed Ras, who was emitting cold energy and a vibrating requiem sword.
‘Your help was great when I killed the last Sharkmaul.’
-hmm?
‘Glacia you told me about. After sharpening my senses with that, I measured the location of Shark Mall. Thanks to you, I was able to catch it for sure.’
-oh… .
Ras smiled and looked down at the requiem sword.
-Did you hear? You lowly bastards have become nothing more than arrows for this king.
The guy laughed at the requiem sword and created a round cold air.
‘It’s definitely a great ability, but it’s also a bit difficult. ‘If the distance had been a little further, I wouldn’t have caught it.’
-No! Just using what I learned today is amazing. The king will keep you informed.
Ugh!
The requiem sword also opened fire once again. I’ll teach you how to use Yogi in more detail, like don’t listen to Lars.
-Uh-huh! The little things are out there. The King himself will teach you the essence of Glacia, so you don’t have to worry! This is a magic trick.
Ras said that he would teach me other fighting methods besides Glacia and made a fuss not to listen to the requiem sword.
‘I completely forgot about the bet.’
When they alternated between whips and carrots in a competition with the Requiem Sword, Lars forgot that he had made a bet and declared that he would teach him the essence of Glacia.
Now I don’t know what to call it beyond Hogu.
Raon chuckled and turned around.
“uh… .”
“and… .”
“Is this a dream?”
“You killed six Sha and Sharkmaul all by yourself?”
The scouts who came out fully armed were with their mouths wide open, not even realizing that the arrow from the crossbow had fallen to the ground.
“Whew, I’m glad it ended without a fight.”
Only Dorian sighed in relief and sighed.
* * *
Radin called off the reconnaissance as soon as the sun rose. He should have stayed around for another two days, but he was ordered to return, saying that he had to report that Shark Mole had escaped the territory and ascended Mount Stelin.
“What exactly are you? “No, what is it?”
“Have you ever fought with Sharkmaul? “You dodged all the attacks?”
“I thought you didn’t even have Aurors!”
“Is the flame flower that blooms from the sword your aura?”
The scouts were right next to Raon and constantly peppered him with questions. They were just happy that a new strong man had come to Habun Castle.
“Ahem. Step back! It’s rude to ask a warrior about his abilities. excuse!”
Dorian put on his thick glasses that he didn’t know when he took them out and shook his head.
“I can’t tell you personal information, but our names are Raon and Dorian, and I’m sure we belong to the same 3rd Reconnaissance Team, so don’t worry.”
“Wow Mr. “I was just moved.”
“My heart sank when I heard that they were part of the same 3rd Reconnaissance Team.”
“me too!”
The scouts grinned, speaking half jokingly and half seriously.
“Hey Captain! “The captain should also say something!”
“okay. “We all owe you our lives.”
“Oh, is that person upset again?”
Even though the scouts were talking, Radin did not turn around. He just kept walking towards Habun Castle.
Raon nodded as he watched Radin walking with his back straight.
‘I guess I have nothing to say.’
Even if he wanted to, he wouldn’t be able to because he almost put everyone in danger because he didn’t believe what the new recruit said.
‘It’s something that can’t be helped.’
Something new happened here, and it was a new soldier who said it. Even if he said he was Radin, he wouldn’t have believed it, and somewhere in his heart, he understood.
chin.
Radin’s endless walking stopped only when he arrived in front of Habun Castle. He turned around and stood in front of Raon with calm eyes.
“Hey, boss! “What are you trying to do!”
“Don’t do anything strange for no reason… .”
When the scouts tried to stop them, Radin bent down and lowered his head.
“thanks. “Thanks to you, I survived.”
Radin expressed his gratitude in a trembling voice.
“And I’m sorry. I ended up in a dangerous situation because I didn’t trust you. I won’t use the excuse of experience or it being my first time. “I’m just sorry and grateful.”
He didn’t look up until he finished saying that. You could tell that he was sincere through his voice and the tremors of his shoulders.
-I thought you were an idiot, but it’s not that bad.
‘I know.’
It is not easy for a veteran to admit a mistake to a new recruit and ask for forgiveness. Radin was not trusted by the scouts for nothing.
“Everyone there would have thought that. it’s okay.”
Raon smiled slightly and helped Radin up. He raised his head and his eyes were filled with surprise.
“Are you sure?”
“Not many people will believe what a new recruit picks up. I would have suspected it too. I understand.”
“her… .”
Radin looked at Raon with his mouth wide open and blank eyes.
“You weren’t a strange person.”
“yes?”
“angel! “He was an angel who came to save us!”
He muttered something incomprehensible and clenched his fists.
“I’m shooting today to commemorate meeting and living with an angel! “Everyone gather around the Frost Branch!”
“Oh oh!”
“Really?”
“What’s going on with that jarin gobi?”
“Let’s drink until our noses get crooked today!”
The scouts ran towards Habun Castle and screamed.
“and… .”
Dorian came up next to him and shook his head.
“Those people are really weird.”
The guy who said that was holding in his hand a yellow apple that can only be found in the southern region.
“Young master, please eat some too.”
He handed me an apple, saying that eating fruit during the day is good for your health.
Raon sighed as he received the apology.
‘You are the strangest… .’
* * *
After unpacking his belongings at his lodgings and taking a breather, Raon headed to the tavern called Frost Branch where the scouts had asked to meet.
-A bar at the end of the continent, it’s romantic. I’m looking forward to what kind of food awaits the king.
‘Because the conditions are not good. ‘Don’t expect good taste.’
It is highly likely that the tavern here was literally created to relieve soldiers’ stress. If you expect taste, you will be disappointed.
-I don’t know again. You might encounter a new stimulus like mint chocolate.
‘Oh, that’s a bit… hmm?’
As I walked to the bar, frowning, I felt people’s eyes on me.
“Is it that guy? “The new soldier who killed six Sharkmauls alone?”
“The momentum you feel isn’t that strong?”
“Your eyes are normal too.”
“Still, I’d like to try it once.”
“What kind of sword technique are you using?”
Eyes of surprise, wonder, and as if trying to figure out what was happening followed his back. When she heard the whispers that followed, she knew what had happened.
‘The rumor has already spread.’
It was clear that the scouts were going around talking about a new recruit who had single-handedly captured the six Sharkmauls.
“Wherever you go, your name spreads quickly.”
“That’s right.”
I chuckled. Looking at the eyes and situation around me, I felt like something interesting would happen soon.
“I guess it’s here.”
Dorian pointed to an old building near the entrance to Habun Castle. A half-way sign said Frost Branch.
When I opened the door and entered, I saw the soldiers of the scouting party sitting on the table in the center.
“That was so fucking cool! After asking him to trust my sword, he turned around and cut down Sharkmaul with one sword, and it felt like the red blade was splitting the night sky.”
The scout continued speaking as if his throat was burning.
“In the end, I threw my dagger and smashed the head of Sharkmaul who was running away. I also learned dagger techniques, but this is the first time I have seen such power and accuracy. There… uh? come! “The new soldier who saved our lives has arrived!”
When he pointed to Raon, who was standing at the entrance, all eyes in the bar turned towards him.
“You’re that young?”
“Is it true?”
“That kid has six Shark Malls?”
“her… .”
“I’m sure! “Even if he looks like that, he’s really strong!”
Raon sighed and walked to the center table.
“What are you doing?”
“There was a rumor going around about our junior’s amazing performance.”
“If you come back alive from the original mission, you have to solve the story. “That way, you can survive next time.”
The scout who was sitting grinned and tapped his shoulder.
“sit down. sit down.”
He pointed to the seat right next to him.
“It’s obvious that you’ll be leaving soon. Before I go, I wanted to brag about my junior. “Don’t worry so much.”
“that’s right. “You will be transferred to another unit soon.”
“Let’s brag about our outstanding juniors.”
The scouts looked at Raon and Dorian with a slightly disappointed expression.
“We’ll talk about this later. Let’s eat first. “The captain will be here soon.”
“yes.”
“Owner! “Please bring me all the food I ordered!”
The food started coming out right away, as if the order had been placed in advance. Warm stew, roasted whole pig, pizza, and fried chicken were spread out on the table.
‘It’s strangely appetizing.’
-There is a taste that comes from a place. Eat it quickly. First of all, the king is attracted to that pizza.
‘okay.’
This was when Raon ignored Lars’ words and was about to eat the stew.
The tavern door opened with a bang, and people wearing leather armor with gray wolves on it came rushing in.
They approached the table in the center without even looking at the empty seats.
“Are you Raon?”
A large swordsman with his head upright stopped in front of Raon.
“you’re right.”
“I heard that you single-handedly cut down six Sharkmauls. “I want to take a look at your sword.”
There was a clear fighting spirit in the yellow eyes. It was not a look of pride in the boy prosecutor, but rather a look as if he was facing an enemy.
‘There are people like this on the battlefield.’
The devils of the battlefield who seek battle without needing money, fame, or faith. It was clear when I saw the taste in his eyes. They are here to fight.
“What are you doing! To the new recruit who just returned!”
“Get back! This is your place… .”
“it’s okay.”
I shook my head at the senior scouts who tried to stop me and stood up.
-I don’t even touch Cerberus when I eat. How dare those bastards!
‘It’s a good opportunity.’
In order to complete the Gwanga Sword, you must go through many battles. I’m just grateful if it’s a person, not a monster, that attacks me.
Raon smiled coldly and tapped the sheath of his sword.
“My sword is a little rough, is that okay?”
“The fiercer the welcome.”
Blue flames roared in the air as red and yellow eyes met each other.
-Just take a bite of the pizza and go. please… .
