Milland poured out a bundle of strong energy towards Mantakoon, who was rushing towards the center of the castle.
Kwaaaaang!
The giant stingray that was about to break down the castle gate split into four pieces and attacked the group of orcs.
“Defend!”
“Defend!”
The soldiers shouted at his instructions and swung their swords and spears on the walls, and the archers fired with their torn fingers bound in leather.
As if we had returned to dawn, the military banners pierced the sky, and their heat was enough to melt the frozen ground.
However, it was not Commander Milland who raised the mood of Habun Castle.
Raon, the escort of the scouts.
This is because he was a fool who jumped without hesitation to save the soldiers who even the commander had given up on. The hearts of everyone present heated up at the powerlessness and unhesitating courage that single-handedly blocked the tidal wave of monsters.
“I block this place. Save that man! “Do whatever it takes!”
Wolves mercenary leader Beto screamed and pointed at Raon.
“I tried to do that even if the leader didn’t tell me to!”
“We can’t let a real warrior like that die here!”
“She has a pretty face, but she has a hot personality. Do you like it!”
The Wolves mercenary group is a special breed that reveres strength and enjoys fighting. To them, Raon, who jumped into the sea of monsters to save the injured, was both a crazy person and a person who was more of a Wolves person than anyone else. The goodwill, which was only moderate, soared all the way to the sky.
“Shoot the crossbow! “If your finger is torn, pull it out with your teeth!”
Radin shouted in a watery voice. Among the soldiers who fell under the walls were members of the 3rd Reconnaissance Company. I wanted to jump in to save them, but it was obvious that I would only get in the way. I had to do my best here.
“Assist Raon! “Aim for those coming from behind!”
“yes!”
“I know!”
The scouts all worked together as one and pulled the crossbow, screaming as if it would break.
“Whoa… .”
Because of the emergency situation, Edquil, who had temporarily returned to the position of leader of the snow squadron, raised his head, breathing heavily. I saw a blond boy alone handling the endless green and blue waves.
‘That guy… .’
Seeing his outstanding military power and established military education, he was convinced that Raon was the son of a wealthy family. Since he grew up in a wealthy family, he thought the world looked good.
Since he was going to leave anyway, he thought giving it to the scouts was self-satisfaction.
But Raon was real.
He went directly to hell to save soldiers who were certain to die. Even though he had a direct subordinate among the injured who fell, he did not hesitate, unlike himself.
A shiver ran down my spine. I was ashamed of myself for believing that it was just a pastime for the son of a wealthy family.
‘I’m so embarrassed I can’t stand it.’
Edquil swore that he would apologize to the child he hated the most once this war was over, and slashed his sword at the monsters coming up.
Kwaaaaang! Whoops!
A flash like the light of the sun extends from Milland’s sword. He brought up all his saved energy and defended not only the center but also the wall on the left. He used up a lot of strength, but it didn’t matter. Because helping Raon was the priority right now.
“We rescued all the injured who fell outside the walls! “Some of them are seriously injured, but they are all alive!”
Night Fox Knight Commander Kellen approached and shouted. She seemed excited and her face was red.
“Now only Raon remains. We will block your way! In the meantime, take him… .”
“I don’t seek it.”
Milland shook his head, looking at Raon’s back.
“yes?”
“W-what is that!”
“Commander!”
When they heard that Raon would not be saved, all the officers and soldiers on the castle wall turned to look at Milland.
“This is the guy who stands alone in front of a large army of monsters for the soldiers! “You’re throwing it away!”
“Commander. “I don’t think this is right.”
“father! “What did you just say!”
Radin gritted his teeth, Beto narrowed his eyes, and even Therian, who was in charge of the troops under the castle walls, came up. He was ready to jump right in.
“Don’t get excited, just take a good look at that guy.”
Milland raised his finger and pointed at Raon’s back. He did not back down and continued to swing his sword even though he saved all of his wounded. Instead of feeling tired, he seemed to be gaining strength, his sword skills became sharper, and his movements became smoother.
“S-No way… .”
“Are you in a trance over there right now?”
“No, does this make sense?”
People swallowed their saliva when they saw Raon swinging his sword as if possessed. He couldn’t understand how he could have entered into selflessness in such a hellish situation.
“Now that guy has the opportunity of a lifetime. “Never disturb, and keep your surroundings organized!”
“Oh, I understand!”
“let’s go!”
“in action!”
The knights, swordsmen, and soldiers all returned to their original positions. They defended their positions, hoping that the little hero would become stronger and seize the opportunity that came by chance.
A day or two passed by, and when the sun rose for the third time, the waves of monsters that had been flooding in like water came to an end, and a hill of corpses was piled up under the castle walls.
“Wow!”
“We won!”
“The wave is over!”
The soldiers on the walls raised their weapons and let out a long-held shout.
As if responding to the explosive shout, Raon’s sword stopped. He raised his head and then fell backwards as if he had lost consciousness.
“this!”
“Raon!”
“Catch it!”
Everyone on the castle wall jumped towards Raon, who was falling. We were all exhausted, but we ran like a gale because of where the strength came from.
“Raon!”
The same was true for Commander Milland. He ran faster than anyone else and caught Raon.
“How about this?”
“Are you seriously injured?”
“Commander!”
Whether it was a swordsman, a knight, or a soldier, everyone looked at Milland’s mouth.
“It’s exhaustion. I don’t have a single drop of health or aura left. “This is the first time in my life that I’ve seen someone fight like this.”
Milland laughed and held Raon’s shoulder tightly.
“ha… .”
“thank god.”
“Really… .”
People looked at Raon with a sigh of relief. Surprise and admiration were reflected in the eyes of happiness.
“Raon is safe! Shout in victory again!”
“Waaaaaa!”
“All the monsters ran away!”
“Habun Castle won!”
When the soldiers and knights learned that Raon was safe, they cheered in victory again. There was only a hoarse and tired voice, but the joy and joy was stronger than ever.
“Raon! Raon! Raon!”
“Aaaah!”
Among the people who screamed at the top of their lungs were prosecutors from the Seolgeukdae who hated Raon. Starting with the snow raid leader, Edquil, the entire snow raid squad burst into cheers.
“I am indeed.”
Milland chuckled as he looked at the castle walls bathed in brilliance. Everyone shouts Raon’s name in unison. It is unprecedented for someone who has only just arrived here to have this kind of influence.
“I look forward to seeing how strong you will be when you wake up. And how everyone will view you.”
He used aurors to relieve Raon’s tired body.
“I won!”
“The wave ended in 3 days!”
“Waaah!”
Whether knights, swordsmen, or soldiers, everyone laughed, cried, and rejoiced in the victory.
but.
One Demon King was different.
He gritted his teeth, glaring at the message Raon couldn’t read.
-Glacia?
Ras raised the cold air covering his body like a pillar of fire.
-Glaeaeacia?
Everything else is fine. Because I knew that my abilities would increase and I would become stronger.
But Glacia is an exception. I bet it would take 5 months, but I never imagined I would learn it in 3 months. And that too in a state of trance.
-You swindler!
Lars grabbed the collar of Raon, who had fainted.
-Wake up! It is clear that you have defrauded the king again!
It screamed evilly and spewed out cold energy at random.
-wake up! You weasel!
Ras abandoned the solemn tone of the demon lord, which was rare, and let out a loud scream.
-Quaaaaaaa!
In the land of victory where humans cheered, there was a demon king screaming alone.
* * *
“That guy. “It’s dangerous.”
The blue-robed man looked at Raon and clenched his fists until he made a loud sound.
‘The talent to become stronger while fighting… .’
This is a quality that is rarely found even on a wide continent. As I watched that monster growing as it wielded a knife in a trance for three days, the hairs on my entire body stood on end.
“Didn’t I tell you? “I had a bad feeling from the moment I saw it.”
The man in black robes twisted his mouth.
“This is a guy who shouldn’t be left alone. Let’s kill him.”
Judging by the speed at which he is becoming stronger and his willingness to risk his life for others, he is not someone who will rot in Habun Castle. I had a feeling that I would collide with Eden at some point.
“That will happen later.”
The man in black robes slowly shook his head.
“There are two tasks given to us. It is the incarnation of the Green King’s Magic Stone and Siren. “The removal of that bastard is not included among them.”
“We might collide someday. No, you will definitely collide. “There is almost no one other than the Six Emperors who can raise a guy like that!”
“Not now though. The plan hasn’t collapsed yet, so move on as planned. “Bingawgwi.”
“Now tell me what that brilliant plan is. “How long are you going to keep this to yourself!”
The man called Ice Maw glared at the man in the robe with his sword as if he were going to kill him.
“I was going to tell you already.”
The man in the black robe hit the floor with the cane he pulled out from inside his robe. A strange text appeared and a huge ice troll appeared from the floor.
“uh?”
Icemaw’s eyes widened as he looked at the troll. It was larger than a troll warrior, but its fur was white and had not yet grown, and a horn, which ordinary trolls did not have, stood out in the center of its forehead.
“Seo, no way! Is it loaded?”
“right. Ice Troll Road. I brainwashed a guy born in the canyon above Mt. Stelin. “If it had been a little later, this would have worked, but the timing was good.”
The black-robed man looked at the Ice Troll Lord and nodded.
“The road inevitably attracts monsters around it and makes them submit. Once it is confirmed that Rod has appeared, Mill Rand will not be able to stand it anymore and will lead his troops out. That moment… .”
“It’s time we dig in.”
“Yes. Since the walls collapsed due to the wave and many soldiers died, it is clear that they will launch a surprise attack before Lord’s general offensive begins. We can aim for that time and take the Green King’s Magic Stone and the Siren’s Avatar and that’s it.”
“I think I know why you planned it that way.”
Ice Maw nodded when he saw the Ice Troll Lord with his eyes open.
“But you said you brought him from the canyon above the mountain?”
“Yes.”
“Then what is at the top of the mountain?”
“I couldn’t go because I was scared.
“what?”
“All my senses were screaming to never go up. “There is something up there beyond our imagination.”
A drop of sweat ran down the black-robed man’s cheek.
“joy. What a coward. “Once this is over, I’ll go up and check it myself.”
“After the plan is completed, it doesn’t matter whether you die or not. “For now, let’s proceed as planned.”
“It will still be like that.”
Bingahwi snorted and shrugged his shoulders.
“Still, I really want to kill that guy from earlier, but it’s a shame.”
“Planning comes first… .”
The man in black robes narrowed his eyes as he looked at the castle walls that Raon had defended until the end.
“If I had the chance, it would be a good idea to kill him.”
* * *
“Uhm… .”
Raon opened his eyes. An old and familiar ceiling. It was the scouts’ quarters.
“How long did you sleep?”
I remember swinging the sword with extreme sensitivity, but after that I was in a daze. All I could think of was the golden sun I saw last time.
-It’s three days.
The answer came from Lars in the flower bracelet. His voice was so chilly that it felt like a cold wind was blowing.
‘Did you sleep that much?’
-… … .
Lars, who was slowly blooming, showed his blue face without answering. She glared at me with her eyes burning with anger.
-You guy. You deceived the king again.
“uh? what?”
Raon leaned back. There are so many things that have been lied to, I don’t know what they are talking about.
-Didn’t you seduce King Bon with a pineapple and steal Glacia’s information? You disgusting, dirty human being!
“ah… .”
After listening to him, I knew why Lars was so angry.
-You use food to take advantage of the bet. Do you have no conscience?
It was refreshing to hear the devil speak of conscience.
-I should have already said it once. There’s a saying that even Cerberus doesn’t touch you when you’re eating, and even in the demon world, evil people like you… .
“Oh, wait.”
I couldn’t finish my sentence so I raised my hand.
“The bet isn’t over yet. Getting angry already… .”
-finished.
“what?”
-The bet has already ended with your victory!
Lars exploded with cold energy as if going berserk. The chill of anger filled the room.
“It’s over?”
Raon opened his mouth. He lightly shook off the cold emanating from Lars and then checked her message.
[He showed overwhelming force.]
[All abilities increase by 3 points.]
“3 points?”
The higher your ability level, the slower your growth will inevitably be. It was an unexpected reward as all abilities increased by 3 points at once.
[You maintained extreme concentration.]
[The trait has been created.]
Even new traits?
The time to enter a state of concentration becomes shorter, and the time to maintain a state of concentration becomes longer.
“and… .”
It may not seem like a big deal, but it is a great trait that is helpful both in battle and in training. If he continued to grow, there was a possibility that he would enter a state of extreme concentration like when guarding the castle walls.
-Keuuugh… .
Lars trembled like a volcano about to explode. He regained his appetite and looked at his last message.
[You have acquired Glacia.]
[Water resistance has reached 5 stars.]
“uh?”
Raon opened his eyes after checking the last message.
‘Acquiring Glacia?’
When did this happen?
I knew that my swordsmanship, aura, and senses had greatly improved, but I never thought I would have mastered Glacia.
‘Water resistance also increased.’
Perhaps thanks to constant use of cold energy, water resistance also reached 5 stars.
-Do you understand now? Why is the king so angry?
Like a puffer fish inflating its body, Lars’ cold air began to condense into a circle.
-You’re trying to win the bet by taking advantage of the King’s only weakness! Are you a devil or something?!
Hearing the devil’s voice from the king of devils was also novel.
-This king cannot acknowledge it! This bet was wrong from the start! Even if the sword is put to the King’s throat, I will never give you compensation!
“Hmm, shall we try it after a long time?”
-What are you going to do? This king will never break!
“Apple meat pie.”
-what? Why are you saying that now… .
“Apple meat pie plus pineapple pizza.”
—… … .
Lars didn’t answer. But that alone was enough to tell that he was shaking.
“Apple meat pie, pineapple pizza, plus pineapple cookies.”
-… … .
Even if this happens, it won’t go away.
There was no answer this time too.
‘Can’t we just use food anymore?’
Well, it’s a bit weird how many times the Demon King sells his pride for food.
It was time to nod and suggest a new deal.
[You have won the bet with .]
-Wow!
Lars’ body shrunk like a deflated balloon. The guy turned his head away as if he was embarrassed.
I think the lack of response was not a rejection, but rather an acknowledgment of the bet.
“her… .”
Even a knife to the throat wouldn’t work, but pies, pizza, and cookies could break the devil’s will.
It’s easy.
It’s so easy that it’s scary.
However, there was one thing that neither Raon nor Lars knew.
[All abilities increase by 4 points.]
[You have won your fifth victory over Wrath.]
[Additional rewards are generated as a result of 5 consecutive wins.]
