Raon raised his eyebrows as he watched Merlin ahead of him.
‘You seem happy.’
Looking at his feather-light steps, it seemed like he didn’t know what to do because he was looking forward to the time when he put on the dragon helmet.
‘They’ll be waiting for the guy inside.’
What Merlin wants is for the spirit inside the helmet to take over his body, but that can’t happen. No matter who the opponent is, he cannot be defeated by mental strength.
“how is it? “Are you nervous?”
Merlin must have felt his gaze and stopped walking and turned around. The eyes inside the mask sparkled with the light of desire.
“little.”
It wasn’t that I wasn’t nervous at all, so I nodded honestly.
“There is no need to be nervous. All you have to do is surrender yourself to the helmet.”
Merlin smiled and said that it would be enough to put on the helmet and fall into a comfortable sleep.
“What is he?”
Raon pointed to the soul sword following behind him. It was rare for him, who never came to Daejeon, to come here.
“If you wear a helmet, you become defenseless. “I asked you to come to protect me.”
Instead of using his sword, Merlin skimmed the lips of his mask while looking at Raon.
“I don’t want there to be any problems with your fighting wedding.”
She told me that the ceremony where one wears a helmet is called a fighting wedding.
“hmm… .”
Raon narrowed his eyes as he looked at the golden glowing eyes of the Soul Sword.
‘Something is different.’
Unlike the warriors of Eden that I had met so far, I felt not only fighting spirit, but also the indescribable smell of death.
It really felt like they had brought a lion and put a helmet on it.
‘They’re all just weird people.’
Raon shook his head and stopped in front of Merlin’s log room. But Merlin moved forward as if that wasn’t the place.
“Your fighting wedding will be held in another room. “You are special.”
Merlin waved his long finger as if telling him to follow. She went further and reached the wall at the end of the main battle.
Wooooow!
When Merlin tapped the gray wall, a passage opened with white light emanating from the center of the wall. A black haze was creeping out from inside the passage.
“Let’s go in.”
Merlin smiled and entered the passage first.
-Hmm… .
Lars frowned as he looked at the energy flowing from the wall.
‘why?’
-It’s nothing.
Contrary to what he said, he looked at the passage in the wall with irritated eyes.
‘Actually, this guy is the strangest.’
Raon smiled slightly and entered the passageway protruding from the wall. After a dazzling light that made it impossible to open my eyes, a huge square space appeared.
In the magnificent room, different shapes of pentagram magic circles were drawn not only on the floor but also on the four walls and ceiling.
Whoa.
In the magic circle, the black energy I had seen earlier was burning brightly. However, I could sense pure mana in the black smoke, not evil energy.
-Is it him too?
Lars clicked his tongue as he looked at the energy flowing from the magic circle.
‘That guy?’
-There is. What a stupid guy.
The guy kept his mouth shut, as if he didn’t want to talk.
“Sit over there.”
I was about to ask more when Merlin pointed to a gray chair placed in the center of the magic circle on the floor.
“… … .”
Raon looked into the eyes of the Soul Sword that did not reveal any emotions, then went to the seat designated by Merlin and sat down.
“It’s easy because he’s a smart kid.”
Merlin stepped forward and extended his hand. The dragon helmet she had seen yesterday floated above her hand.
The razor-sharp scales and vibrant light blue mane made this helmeted dragon look truly alive.
“Whoa.”
Raon let out a short breath and grabbed the helmet with both hands. Contrary to its appearance, the helmet was as light as if it was made of paper and had elasticity like rubber. It seemed to fit anyone, no matter how big or small their face was.
“wait for a while.”
Merlin smiled like a crescent moon and put his hands together. Six magic circles appear above her hands. It had the same shape as the magic circle carved in this room.
Gooooooo!
As if resonating with her mana, the magic circles on the walls and ceiling vibrated and emitted black light.
“Raon.”
Merlin nodded as if to put on his helmet.
Raon closed his eyes, opened them, and put on the dragon helmet. The slightly large helmet shrunk to fit perfectly on the head, and a strange energy began to flow throughout the body.
“Bye.”
Merlin lifted his mask slightly. She pressed her red lips to the mouth of her helmet and curled the corners of her mouth into a thin line.
“When you open your eyes, it will all be over.”
After hearing that voice, my vision suddenly disappeared.
* * *
Sieghardt’s throne room before the head of the family.
Even though the family executives and vassals were gathered together, the throne room was as cold as if it had been covered with ice.
The expressions on the faces of the executives were also extremely desolate, but the reason was all because of one person.
Glenn Sieghart. Everyone swallowed their dry saliva at the extreme level of spirit that radiated from him as he sat on the throne of North Destruction.
“Matriarch. “Everyone is here.”
Roen came next to Glenn and bowed his head.
Tuk-tuk.
Glenn looked down at the officers and heads of the family and tapped the throne with his finger.
“It’s been a long time since Sieghart stopped walking.”
“Umm… .”
The coolness in his voice made Danju, a famous warrior, shake his shoulders.
“Since Sieghart showed that he could swallow half of the continent, I thought there was no need to shed any more blood.”
Glenn’s cold gaze turned to the right.
“We stopped ourselves. Sieghart needed requiem and rest, and he had no regrets about that choice.”
Cheryl, who was standing behind the pillar on the right, nodded slowly.
“However, others don’t seem to think so.”
Glenn’s eyes were shining blood red.
“Everyone knows that Raon Sieghardt and Dorian Sepia have been kidnapped.”
The executives and the heads of the families nodded heavily.
“If the White Blood Cult and Eden had killed the Gwangpungdan on the spot, I would not have summoned you. “He must have entrusted a team to Rimmer and ordered him to take revenge.”
That was right. Even if Sieghart’s corps or corps were annihilated, he never summoned everyone.
“But they kidnapped prosecutors named Sieghardt. “What do you think this means?”
Glenn’s eyes turn. The eyes of the prosecutors who had been frightened by him just a moment ago flashed blue.
“It means you ignored Sieghardt.”
Cheryl answered as the representative and clenched her fists.
“It’s just as you said. Kidnapping a prosecutor with Sieghardt’s name means that they regard us as idiots. “It means that our sword is not scary, and we are not afraid.”
The longer Glenn spoke, the more his spirit subsided. It meant he was really angry.
Gooooooo!
The Sieghardt executives and vassal heads of the family gradually created a powerful stir in opposition to Glenn. The Gajujeon began to shake due to the energy generated by everyone.
“There may be people who dislike Raon or Gwangpungdan. Whatever the reason, I respect it. However, this is not an internal matter, but an external matter. “It is time to think of Sieghart’s name, not Raon.”
Glenn stood up. His presence, which had no slight force, became huge, as if it was looming over Mount Tai.
“The search has already begun. Find Raon Sieghardt and Dorian Sephia with the Black Market. It doesn’t matter if there is a Six Emperor at the end, not Oma. “Erase all places that have anything to do with the kidnapping of those children.”
“yes!”
Gajujeon made a huge pulsation as if it had become a single heart.
“Do not be afraid, whoever your enemy is.”
Glenn stood at the end of the podium. A red gaze as hot as the sun covered the whole world.
“I will stand in front of you.”
* * *
When I open my eyes, I see a dark sky. It was a ceiling with no end in sight.
“hmm… .”
Raon got up and turned his head to the right.
The frozen ground is visible behind a small black space. The royal palace, which was larger than Sieghart’s domain, was entirely frozen in silver frost.
‘That cold… .’
A friendly energy that cannot be ignored. It was Glacia’s coldness.
‘It’s Lohengrin’s work.’
Looking at the castle frozen with the cold of Glacia, it is clear that it is Merlin’s castle from the story. As if it had not been touched by human hands for a long time, the royal castle was not only lonely but also shabby.
“hmm?”
Raon stood up with sex in his eyes and frowned.
‘what?’
Something is different from usual. There was a slight difference in eye level from my perfectly familiar body.
I looked at my hands and clothes. The ice flower bracelet that never disappeared was nowhere to be seen, and instead of the Gwangpungdan uniform, he was wearing black night clothes.
‘no way… .’
Raon reflected his face on the white ground. The blond-haired, red-eyed face that had been around for nearly 20 years disappeared, and a dark-haired, black-eyed young man appeared with his eyes wide open.
“grow… .”
Not who I am now, but who I was in my past life. It was the appearance of Raon, an assassin who had been chained to Derus Robert his entire life.
Tuk.
As I was taking a step back, something caught my foot. Looking down, I saw a small dagger and a long sword lying side by side.
‘This… .’
It’s impossible not to know. The dagger and long sword I used in my past life. It was a weapon that was with Derus Robert until his death.
“Is this what you meant by being able to face the soul?”
Seeing that it wasn’t Raon Sieghardt, but Raon from his previous life, it seemed like it wasn’t a lie to encounter a spirit.
‘So there was no Lars.’
When I asked why the chatterbox wasn’t saying anything, it seemed like it was an isolated space.
Raon smiled slightly as he grabbed the weapon from his previous life for the first time in a long time.
“so… .”
When will my health food take place?
As soon as that thought ends, this space vibrates.
Coo coo coo coo!
The palace collapsed, and a huge dragon’s neck covered in sharp blue scales rose. At the end, blue eyes flashed as if angry at the world.
Kuoooooo!
The ice that covered the entire castle shattered like a sheet of glass, and a magnificent dragon roar echoed throughout the world.
Wow!
Huge wings that seem to draw the horizon unfold and the entire palace collapses.
Amidst the piles of rocks and ice, a small log cabin that did not fit the place was seen, but it was quickly buried in dust and disappeared.
Whoa!
The blue dragon kicks the frozen ground and soars into the sky. The dragon, floating wildly in the endless sky, found Raon and fell like a thunderbolt.
Kwaaaaaaaa!
The blue dragon fell and crushed the pure white earth. The eyes, which were split like a snake’s tongue, sent a terrifying pressure.
Raon gritted his molars and faced the blue dragon’s evil gaze.
Wooooow!
White light sprouted from the blue dragon’s body, and its gigantic body began to shrink to human size.
A young man walks out amidst a magnificent halo of light. A handsome man with sea-green eyes was wearing a knight’s armor. As soon as Encia saw her, she had the kind of appearance that made him shout out loud.
“I don’t understand.”
The blue-haired man frowned slightly.
“According to what the princess said, the wall of your mind should have collapsed and this world itself should not have opened. “Why are you in front of me?”
He tilted his head as if it was strange.
‘After all, I didn’t give him a non-commoma for nothing.’
Looking at what the man in front of me is saying, it seems that if you break the wall of your mind with a non-coma water, that kind of space will not be created at all, and that guy’s soul will immediately break his own soul.
‘But you’re a princess?’
There is no way this dragon will find anyone else. She must have called Merlin princess.
“Are you saying Merlin is a princess?”
“You don’t know?”
The dragon lowered his eyebrows as if he didn’t know.
“Well, you too must have been captured by the princess.”
He clicked his tongue briefly as if he was pathetic.
“You are not a dragon.”
Raon looked up at the blue-haired man and twisted his mouth.
‘It can never be a dragon.’
As the strongest race, dragons have stronger pride than anyone else. You might not know if you’re having fun. There was no way a dragon that showed its true form could say to a human that it was a princess.
‘Then this guy… .’
Lee Chae was reflected in Raon’s eyes. He is a dragon that can transform into a human, but he is the only non-dragon being.
Dragonian.
Dragonian is a general term for a mixture of dragons and other races.
Most people are just born with stronger strength or superior mana affinity than their original species, but sometimes there are Dragonians who are born with the ability to turn into a dragon like a mutant, and the guy right in front of me seemed to be that case.
“Are you a Dragonian?”
“Yes.”
The blue-haired man nodded confidently.
“My name is Lokta Deport. “He is the son of the blue dragon Kronos Deport and the captain of Sirken’s royal knights.”
He wore armor and held a sword, calling himself a knight.
“I have no ill feelings towards you. As a knight, I am a sinner who failed to protect the princess. I will pay for my sins by dying. If you let go of your body comfortably, it won’t cause you any pain… .”
“That’s terrible.”
Raon laughed coldly. Is it because it is the body of a previous life? When I was Raon Sieghardt, swear words that I rarely used came out right away.
“Are you going to kidnap me at will and pay for my sins by dying? “Talk about bullshit in moderation.”
“Rebellion is meaningless.”
Rokta lowered his eyes. She had a pitiful expression.
“Look at your feet.”
I looked down at those words. The dark ground was visible, a stark contrast to the white ground Rokta was stepping on.
“That dark land is everything in your life.”
“what?”
“It means that the world in your soul is nothing more than the land and two swords. on the other side… .”
Rokta pointed behind him.
“My world has stopped in this frozen castle, but it is incomparably wider and stronger than yours.”
A chill and the despair of experiencing death bloomed in his eyes.
“If you put your mind to it, you can throw away your narrow, thin world right now. I’ll give you one last chance. Go away. “Because I don’t want to use my power on the weak.”
Rokta blurted out nonsense, as if he still thought of himself as a knight. There wasn’t even a snort.
“Originally, the weaker the dog, the more it barks.”
Raon snorted and snapped his fingers.
“Don’t hesitate and just attack. “You half lizard.”
“In the end, you gave up the liquor and drank the beolju.”
As Rokta’s eyes flashed blue, waves of frost rose from the frozen ground he was stepping on.
Quaaaaa!
The white tsunami engulfs the black earth and expands its territory. A feeling as if the mana circuit is frozen. It was a pain similar to the Lass attacks I felt every day.
‘This was it.’
This is why it was called a fighting wedding.
Now I understand. This place is a visualization of his own body that fought with Ras every day. Rokta’s soul, which has greater power, has consumed most of this space.
Coo coo coo coo!
The coldness caused by Lokta and his despair gradually grow larger, and the black space shrinks exponentially.
Before I knew it, the entire space had frozen and all that was left was a small area of ground where my feet were standing.
“I told you so.”
Rokta let out a blatant sneer. He was a knight or something, but in the end he was no different from Merlin.
“It’s meaningless. “It is impossible for you to defeat me in this world.”
“Why?”
“Because the experience is different. This may be your first time here, but I have been fighting in this world since I was alive. “We must have fought over a hundred times.”
“A hundred times.”
Raon curled the corners of his mouth.
“That’s all?”
He stepped forward, creating a ring of fire. The cartoon ball’s flames erupted from beneath my feet and began to sweep across the frozen ground.
Hwaaaaa!
The red-hot flames melted the seemingly endless cold and despair in a split second, and even began to eat away at the frozen ground. The speed was on a completely different level from the coldness that Lokta poured out.
“What is this firework!”
Raon smiled as he looked at Lokta’s eyes that were so wide as to be torn.
“This is it. I’ve been tormented by this annoying cotton candy for half my life. “We’ve had fights like this not a hundred times, but a thousand times.”
I walked across the land burning with red flames, letting out a cold smile that was the opposite of the comic book fever.
Jeez.
The sound of old shoes soaked in flames turns into a distinct sound of shoes. The dark pants and top changed into a smooth, shining uniform of the Gwangpungdan, and the black hair was blazing and the brilliant blonde hair that looked like melted gold was shining.
Bullfight!
The black eyes, which were full of nothingness, turned into red eyes that seemed to have swallowed the sun, piercing Rokta’s heart.
Hwaaaaa!
As the endless fire spreads, the annex, the 5th training camp, and Sieghart are revealed behind Raon.
The black earth, once full of loneliness, was filled with the relationships we had built ourselves.
My world was no longer empty.
“Yes, what are you! How can such a drastic change occur in the human mind? .”
Rokta’s chin trembled as he looked at Raon, who had changed as a person. She seemed beyond embarrassed by the incomprehensible situation and was frightened.
Grrrr!
Whether he was surprised or not, the heat from the manga ball began to thaw the frozen ground and reach the castle that Rokta had destroyed.
“I am an ordinary human being.”
Raon tightened his gaze and tightened his grip on the blade of the Jecheon Sword.
“A human being who has let go of his leash and is finally living a human life.”
“What nonsense is that!”
“I’m sorry. You and your handsome princess will never get what you want… hmm?”
“uh?”
Raon stopped talking and looked to the right. Rokta also turned his head at the same time.
Shaaaaa!
On the floor where the cartoon ball’s flame was burning, the blue thread was twisting and twisting, creating a strange area.
“Hey, what is that again! “How could an intruder enter this space?”
Rokta’s eyes widened in disbelief.
“You bastard! “What are you going to sing?”
“I didn’t call, Ji came to visit.”
Raon frowned as he looked at the ice flower bracelet that appeared on his wrist.
“Illegal tenant.”
