Pop!
Raon gritted his teeth.
‘Las!’
When he was interrupted just before he reached a trance and created auras, the auras that were trying to come together began to disperse.
‘Big!’
By concentrating his mind, he condensed the comic artist’s aura that was about to fade away. As I tried to force the auror to settle down, a cold chill came over me.
-I told you so.
There was a hint of ridicule in Lars’ voice.
-The King will aim for the moment you are weakest.
‘Keu… .’
That was right.
Ras had warned that an attack would come at the most dangerous moment. To be honest, he had even predicted this moment.
However, as I suddenly fell into a trance, I completely forgot about its existence.
-Now it starts!
Lars rushed forward with a huge explosion of cold energy. My teeth were chattering from the coldness that froze even my cold sweat.
I wanted to open my eyes immediately because of the pain that felt like my bones were freezing, but if I moved now, my mana would flow back and I could become a person.
‘this guy… .’
It was quiet for a while and I forgot about it, but Lars is not on the same side. devil. He is also the king of the demon world. It was as if he was trying to eat the soul by destroying the body.
Whoa!
As Las’s cold became more and more poisonous, even the coldness of the mana circuit, which had subsided as if suffocating, began to riot.
‘Ugh… .’
A scream escaped my mouth. It feels like my bones and skin are splitting. The feeling of coldness and anger began to eat away at my spirit.
-finished.
Lars’ cool voice filled me with joy, not anger.
-Now your body and soul belong to the King.
Just as he said, a bitter cold feeling fills my whole body. Beyond the pain, the feeling disappears. I felt like I was going to lose my mind at any moment.
‘Big!’
Raon bit his tongue. I came to my senses for a moment, as if I had been doused in cold water due to the pain.
‘Think about it. thought!’
Lars’ coldness had already covered his entire body. At this rate, it was only a matter of time before my body was taken over by that bastard.
‘You can’t stop the cartoon ball.’
It is too late to use the ring of fire now. Before the ring rotates, Rath’s cold will engulf your body and mind.
‘You have to find a hole to survive.’
I endured it by constantly swinging the cartoon ball around. It was literally a situation where I was hanging from a cliff with just a single rope.
-Give up. Because your body has already been handed over to the real king.
‘That’s something you have to do to know.’
-It is an unnecessary effort. Like that old man who burns the charcoal kiln every day.
‘charcoal burner… . charcoal burner!’
there was. A way to survive.
Kuuk!
Raon clenched his fists and pulled Mana in with all his strength.
Gooooo!
Instead of natural mana heated by the heat of the charcoal kiln, the mana inside the charcoal kiln was absorbed.
-You guy. What are you doing!
‘Struggling!’
okay. This is a struggle. Dying without being able to do anything is enough of a past life. This life will never die in vain.
Coo coo coo coo!
A sound like leaves crunching could be heard from the ceiling of the charcoal kiln, which was made of hard mud.
-this guy! Stop!
‘Ugh!’
The cold air emanating from Lars became stronger. The power to freeze beyond the skin to the bones. I could no longer feel my arms and legs. She held on fiercely and took her last breath.
Whoa!
With the sound of the earth splitting, tremendous heat rose into the air. It was a flame that exploded from inside the charcoal kiln.
Whoa!
Raon immediately absorbed the heat. Just like the time he took his first breath after being born.
The heat received through the pores of the entire body, not just the nose and mouth, pushes out the cold that has invaded the entire body. Overwhelming firepower. It felt like lava was rushing through my veins.
Hwaaaah!
The coldness of Lars melted away like spring snow in the roaring heat.
-What is this!
‘go away. Lars!’
Raon chewed his lips and played cartoon ball. He even pulled in the enormous cold energy that had melted from the mana circuit and led it to Danjeon.
Gooooo!
The energy of the cartoon ball, which was like a dying ember in a furnace, received the heat of the charcoal kiln and created a distinct shape.
Ugh!
That’s not all.
Right next to the perfectly formed cartoon ball aura, pure white energy condensed like a glass bead. It was the bitter cold that filled the mana circuit.
– Oh, shit!
‘Wook… .’
Raon listened to Lars’ angry screams and captured all the heat in the air and the cold inside his body.
Extreme concentration. He overcame Lars’ interruption and fell into a second trance.
* * *
“after!”
Balkan let out a thick breath as he put firewood into the furnace.
Chiiik!
When I see a furnace that catches fire in an instant and creates a thick flame, old memories come to mind.
‘It’s already been 30 years.’
Jincheon Sword, the last masterpiece created 30 years ago. He thought his life had come to an end after dedicating the Jincheon Sword, the most famous sword in his life, to Glenn Sieghardt.
He declared that he would retire and enjoy the rest of his life, as he had some wealth that he could not use up even if he devoted his whole life to it.
But when I came to my senses, I was already sitting in front of the fire.
There was no need to wake up early or light a fire in the furnace, but without realizing it, my steps headed towards the workshop.
It stopped. Very tightly.
His time was still frozen in the days when he made Jincheon Sword.
‘I can’t cut it off.’
Glenn, who has made many swords, contributed greatly to Sieghart, is the head of the family, and is one of the strongest men on the continent, uses his own sword.
Even if I retire like this, my name will remain in history, but I couldn’t stay still. I couldn’t let go of the hammer or move away from the fire.
There is one reason why I can’t do this or that.
Even though he wanted to continue working, he did not have the confidence to create work that surpassed the Jincheon Sword he gave to Glenn.
I clumsily started a fire in an awkward position and picked up a hammer, but all I got in return was emptiness.
‘That’s why I built this kiln.’
About ten years ago, this charcoal kiln was built to produce charcoal. To create gold coal that surpasses black and white coal.
I thought that if I had that special charcoal, I might be able to make a better sword.
But so far there has never been any success.
Although he used numerous methods based on legends and rumors, he could not find the gold bullet.
Still, I didn’t want to give up. It was the only obsession of my little remaining life.
While I was wasting time like that, the child came.
Raon Sieghardt.
From the day I first met him, I breathed with the embers of the furnace. The flame that had been dormant for a dozen years bared its teeth and burned like a wild beast.
It was my first time.
It had never happened before that the flame reacted or the fire power increased.
I allowed Raon to stay with me, thinking something might change, but I didn’t have high expectations.
‘Because this place is hell.’
The heat emitted by this kiln was so intense that even craftsmen who had experienced it in all their hardships avoided it. Even the craftsmen who initially came to help disappeared after a few days.
However, the child came every day and sat down in front of the palanquin, even though he was in a cold sweat and was in so much pain that he bit his lip.
At first, it seemed like I couldn’t concentrate on the exercises due to the heat rising from the floor. The second day was the same. I bit my lip as I shivered from the heat.
Three days, four days, a week, a month and three months.
Raon came to the charcoal kiln every day.
And today.
As if in response to Raon’s inhalation and exhalation, the embers in the furnace burned fiercely, and the heat in the kiln doubled in intensity.
Whoa!
He dominated the flames of this space as if he were fire incarnate.
‘This!’
Balkan realized that this moment was an important opportunity for him. A chance not just to create new charcoal, but to live as a craftsman once again.
“Whoa!”
I concentrated all my mind to maintain the firepower of the fire burning in the furnace. He blew, fried and repeated all the actions that could increase the flame.
The embers are alive and breathing.
The transparent flame located in the center erased the cloudy and cloudy flames and increased the firepower.
But something strange happened.
Frost came down on Raon’s whole body, who was sweating from the heat radiating from the charcoal kiln.
‘what?’
I looked around in confusion, but the only place where the cold spread was Raon’s body.
The cold gradually spread throughout him, and eventually even his golden hair began to freeze.
‘Uh, what should I do?’
Raon’s body is shaking. I know it’s not good, but I don’t know what to do.
I knew I shouldn’t touch it at a time like this, but I felt like I was going to die if I left it like that.
“Hey, hey! you… .”
“no.”
When Balkan was about to reach out to wake Raon, Rimmer appeared. It was truly a movement like the wind.
“Rimer! What are you doing! “That guy is going to die like that!”
“There is no way now.”
Rimmer shook his head. I frowned and looked at Raon, who was shaking even more.
“If you give it even the slightest shock from the outside, it will vomit blood and die.”
“Is that the cold you mentioned before?”
“okay. “That child has had that coldness in his body since he was born.”
“that… .”
Vulcan bit his lip. Her heart pounded.
‘That young guy… .’
It was a pity that a child with no dried blood on his head was born with a cold so severe that it even wiped out the heat of the furnace, and I was proud that he had survived until now.
I wanted to help somehow.
“Is there anything we can do?”
“doesn’t exist. “It’s dangerous if you touch anything.”
Rimmer’s expression was also more serious than usual. He clenched his fists and only focused his eyes on Raon.
The two watched the coldness gradually covering Raon’s body without saying a word.
“I’m really going to die at this rate! Anything!”
“for a moment! Raon has moved!”
There was hope in Rimmer’s expression. He laughed and looked at Raon.
“what? What is that… uh?”
Vulcan turned his head to the side. The fire in the furnace burning the charcoal kiln suddenly intensified.
Coo coo coo coo!
Flames shot out of the furnace and enveloped the entire charcoal kiln. The charcoal kiln sealed with mud exploded, filling the air with terrifying heat.
Quaaaaa!
The heat was so intense that I couldn’t breathe for a moment.
“Hmph!”
I bowed to the heat, which I had never experienced even as a continental craftsman, but the heat went away in an instant.
Gooooo!
The heat began to spin in a spiral and be sucked into Raon. An enormous amount of heat condensed, and the cold covering his entire body melted.
Hwaaa!
A bright red flame burned over Raon’s body. No, it’s not a red flame.
golden.
A golden flame, colored by the golden dawn that rose over the eastern mountains, bloomed.
Raon did not stop practicing even when he was engulfed in golden flames. I took in the heat not only from this area, but from the entire Bukmangsan Mountain.
Ugh!
When the sun fully revealed its magnificent rays and the pouring light faded, Raon opened his eyes.
Flash!
Balkan looked into those eyes and swallowed dry saliva. A shiver started from her toes and pierced her brain.
Dense gold mine.
A golden flame containing the light of dawn was burning in his eyes.
