The person who opened the training hall door and came in was Jaina, the princess of Balkar. She came in front of Raon with an annoyed cat-like expression.
“Why did you call me?”
“Why did you call me? Education is still lacking. “No, am I crazy?”
Raon stretched out his hand to Dorian with a cool smile.
“Dorian.”
“yep!”
Dorian seemed to have been waiting and took out a white piece of paper from his stomach pocket. She was a guy who didn’t need to talk, so she was really comfortable.
“thank you.”
Raon unfolded the paper he received from Dorian. Special contract. It was the leash that was placed around Jaina’s neck after rescuing her in Porvan City.
“Ugh… .”
Princess Jaina’s lips trembled when she saw the special contract. Her expression was full of anger rather than anger.
‘I didn’t forget.’
I was angry.
The reason why Jaina spoke informally as soon as she arrived was not because she had forgotten the special contract, but because she knew about it, it seemed like she was rebelling because she could not hold back the anger in her heart.
She is the princess of Balkar who lived as she pleased without paying attention to anyone, so it’s not that she doesn’t understand those feelings.
‘But not in front of me.’
Others might understand Jaina’s appearance and background, but not her.
Her appearance was nothing more than a human skin, and Jaina had no good feelings or memories, so there was no reason to view her favorably.
-Tsk tsk.
Lars looked down at Jaina and frowned.
-You cannot hold back your emotions and show them as they are. You are a very foolish person.
‘… … .’
I almost said, ‘Is this what you want to say?’, but I held it in.
“I told you before, right? “Be sure to always speak respectfully in front of me.”
Raon lightly shook the special contract and smiled. Jaina’s eyes returned to following the contract.
“… “Why did you call me?”
“I don’t really like it.”
“Ugh, why did you call me?”
Jaina lowered her head, clenching her fists as if her pride had been hurt.
“To give good information.”
“Information?”
“okay. “Information about Martha Sieghardt, whom you will fight tomorrow.”
“What is that… .”
Jaina’s eyes grew so big that they almost popped out. She reacted as if she had no idea what this person was thinking.
“Before that, let me ask you a few questions.”
Raon lifted his chin slightly and snapped his fingers. Jaina narrowed her eyes and walked one foot in front of her.
“I heard there have been frequent meetings between the Robert family and Balkar recently. What was exchanged?”
This information was included in both the non-banquet liquor and Denning Rose information. Sieghardt was keeping both forces in check, so it wasn’t such a strange question.
“that… .”
“say.”
“Well, it’s about the mine.”
“mine? To Robert?”
“The request was to develop a magic that would allow us to dig into an undersea mine on the coast near Robert, and to carefully dig up the land and minerals so that they do not collapse under the sea.”
Jaina didn’t think it was a special secret, so she immediately told me the story about the mine.
‘It’s an undersea mine… .’
There won’t be anything like that, right?
While training as an assassin, I traveled all over the sea near Robert. There was absolutely no mine in that sea that had circled countless times.
‘What are you thinking…? ah!’
Could it be that the dungeon is open?
There was an unknown dungeon under the sea near the Robert family, and no matter what I tried, the door wouldn’t open. Looking at the situation, it seemed like the door to the dungeon was open.
“Did you by any chance ask to dispatch a wizard?”
“We said it would be convenient, but they also asked us to develop magic to do it ourselves.”
Jaina frowned slightly, saying she was being annoying.
‘I guess it’s to keep it a secret.’
Robert and Balkar get along quite well. If it was really about digging a mine, they would have called in an expert.
It was clear that they had requested a magician, not a wizard, so as not to reveal the secrets of the dungeon.
“When was the last time you taught me that magic?”
“This is a meeting.”
Jaina said that during this meeting, Chamber’s assistant handed over a spellbook to Derus’ assistant.
“Right.”
Raon clenched his fists and smiled.
‘Then it means there’s still a chance… .’
It seemed like another opportunity to screw Derus had arisen.
‘It doesn’t matter if I can’t eat. ‘I just don’t want him to have it.’
There is no information about the inside of the dungeon, but it doesn’t matter. If you don’t think you can go and get the dungeon’s treasure, just destroy it so Derus can’t get anything. It was an opportunity with nothing to lose.
“Anything else?”
“I requested other magic, and to further strengthen the alliance… .”
Jaina said a few more things, but none of them were particularly nutritious.
“Then now it’s my turn to tell you.”
“uh… .”
“Martha’s attribute is the earth. However, it has a different tendency from other earth attribute swordsmen. Because they unleash sharp yet pointless attacks like fire or wind. In particular, heavy chain swords, a sword technique that focuses on strength and speed… .”
Raon informed Jaina about Marta’s current state and the flow of swordsmanship. Although it wasn’t perfect, it was enough to affect victory or defeat.
“you… .”
Jaina bit her lip after hearing all of Marta’s information.
“What on earth are you thinking…” Right?”
“what?”
“I thought you were going to tell me to abstain when I heard you called me… yo. this. What on earth are you thinking, giving me Martha’s information? “Yes.”
“Don’t talk too much.”
“Ugh… .”
“What is the answer?”
“all right.”
She lowered her gaze as if her pride was hurt.
“Why did I give you Martha’s information… .”
Raon’s eyes glowed red in the moonlight.
“Because humans must go through trials to become stronger.”
“So you’re forcing the ordeal?”
Jaina’s lips trembled. She looked like she didn’t understand.
“In this competition where the pride of six powers is at stake?”
“okay.”
Raon nodded without hesitation.
“If you lose… .”
“It still has meaning. “There is a big difference between those who know defeat and those who do not.”
Buren and Runaan grew even more thanks to fighting by bringing out all their skills. It was an ordeal given to Martha because she hoped to grow through this competition just like the two others.
If she defeats Jaina, who knows her weaknesses, and wins the battle with the Three Princes, Marta will also be able to rise to a higher place.
“I really don’t understand… .”
“I don’t even want your understanding.”
Raon lightly waved his hand and waved the special contract.
“I gave you the information, so fight properly. “If we fight clumsily and lose, this contract will not stand still.”
“Ugh… .”
“What should I order? Should we also bring Balkar’s national treasure?”
“shit… .”
Jaina pursed her lips and trembled with her fists. It was her first time being treated like this so she seemed at a loss. She was relieved to see that she was showing off from the beginning.
“Whoa… .”
She sighed and raised her head. Still, as he was a direct descendant of the Six Emperors, his emotional recovery was quick.
“So this deletes two orders?”
“Two orders?”
“I told you about the deal between the Robert family and Balkar, and if you give me the order with Martha Sieghard tomorrow, that’s two favors.”
“Aren’t you mistaken?”
“uh… ?”
“I never once said a request or an order?”
Raon smiled and unfolded the special contract. There were still three commands written on it.
“why… .”
Jaina’s eyes were crumpled like paper rolled up in her hands.
“Boo, you should definitely tell me…” .”
“The contents of the contract are orders. “I asked you a favor, not an order.”
It’s true. He just showed me the contract and told me to do it. He never once said anything like giving an order.
“Iik!”
She raised her mana and exposed her teeth as if she was going to attack her at any moment.
“You devil! You’re a charlatan, that’s bullshit! You are a devil from the demon world!
-There is no such thing in the demon world… .
Ras accepted Jaina’s words and shook his head.
“Demon of the Demon World? “Is that enough praise?”
Ras and the Gwangpungdan are also called devil kings these days, so they are not even considered devils or demons.
“The story ends.”
Raon handed over the special contract to Dorian again.
“Wow… .”
Dorian shook his neck as if he was scared and put the contract in his stomach pocket.
“Then I’ll take care of you tomorrow.”
Raon patted Jaina’s shoulder as she gritted her teeth and left the training hall.
“Shhhh!”
As I was about to return to my dorm, Jaina’s curses erupted like a storm inside the training hall.
“Can I do that?”
Dorian looked back at the training ground where the screams were still heard and swallowed dry saliva.
“It’s not like killing, so what? And that one started first.”
It was Jaina who started the fight twice even though she was given the opportunity. He didn’t show any signs of reflection today, so this will be a good lesson for him.
“Oh, that’s also true, Martha… .”
“are you okay. “He has a lot to offer, so you have to win that much.”
After Raon stopped walking, he looked up at the dark sky and smiled.
“If you can’t do that, you should kick out the leader of the Gwangpungdan.”
* * *
Derus Robert sat in front of Mattio’s bed and lifted his chin.
“Matio.”
At his call, Matio’s eyes, who had been lying dead, opened. Anger appeared in his sunken eyes for a moment, but it quickly disappeared.
“… yes.”
Matio answered while holding back the pain that threatened to make him faint again. My voice cracked, but my mind did not waver.
“What are your impressions of Raon?”
“Well, I didn’t see it until the end, but I didn’t see any movement of the assassin until then.”
“Are you sure?”
Derus narrowed his eyes as he looked down at Matio.
“yes. “It was the movements and temperament of a typical swordsman, full of Sieghardt’s scent.”
Matio replied, shaking his chin as if he was in pain.
“Sometimes he took a posture similar to that of an assassin, but all of them were actions and postures that prosecutors would also make, so the distinction is meaningless. “I didn’t see any assassin tendencies in him.”
“Then what do you think of the act of attacking you?”
“Whoa… .”
Matio closed his eyes for a moment and then opened them. As an assassin, it was an act of erasing emotions and stabilizing the mind in order to give an objective answer.
“Just as he said, the safest place in that place was the sparring hall. “I was seriously cut on the back by Borini Keaton, and I honestly don’t think it was that strange for him to slash his sword in front of me, who was closest to me, because he didn’t have much time to spare to erase the magic of Fallen Heaven.”
He said that unlike his anger toward Ra On, he did not think his behavior was strange. He went on to say that he was, on the contrary, very wise.
“Based on what we have seen so far, it appears that Raon Sieghart and Raon are not related.”
“Is that your judgment in raising Raon?”
“yes. “It is an objective judgment that excludes emotions.”
Matio nodded, holding back the pain that felt like it was tearing through his entire body.
“i get it. “Rest.”
“Oh, no… .”
Derus nodded and waved his hand, and Matio turned his head with his eyes closed.
“Hmm… .”
Derus took off the gloves he was wearing. The wound on the back of his hand had completely subsided.
“Let Matio rest and we’ll head back.”
“Matriarch.”
As Derus was about to get up, Yangji’s deacon Rezel, who served as his assistant, opened his mouth.
“Shouldn’t we cancel the instructions we gave you, Mr. Master?”
Rezel lowered his head as if he was sorry and continued speaking.
“From what I saw today, it is clear that Glenn Sieghart cares about Gwangpungdan. “If Master Cadis cuts off Raon Sieghardt’s arm, there could be trouble.”
“You saw it well. “Out of all the Gwangpungdan, he seemed to especially care for Raon.”
“then… .”
“So we should leave it alone.”
Derus Robert chuckled and waved his hand.
“You can’t miss this rare opportunity to get to know Glenn Sieghardt. “We’ll have to see if he really cares about Ra-on and what he’ll do if his arm is cut off.”
He smiled coldly even though his son’s life was at stake.
Even after watching the battle of Raon, Derus and Rezel were confident that Cadis would win in the end.
“It would be better to stimulate more than to discourage. “I was already very angry.”
Derus smiled coolly as he looked out the darkened window. As the audience kept calling Raon’s name, Cadiz Robert received little cheers even after his overwhelming victory, and his frustration was at its peak.
“I want you to stimulate Cadiz a little more.”
“All right.”
Rezel, who was worried about Cadiz, erased his emotions and nodded at his master’s command. Although they are divided into yin and yang, both Matio and Regel are just puppets who unconditionally follow Derus’s words.
“Have you checked the magic provided by Balkar?”
“yes. “It was exactly what I asked for.”
Rezel straightened his posture and nodded.
“I don’t care how long it takes or how many hundreds die.”
A blood-red desire appeared in Derus’ eyes.
“Just bring the ancient treasure buried underneath.”

tweet.
Raon, who was sitting on the floor of the dorm, opened his eyes to the clear sound of birds. She nervously raised her head, the morning sunlight and the chirping of birds announcing the start of the day.
‘Not Merlin.’
Do I have to live in tension for the rest of my life?
I couldn’t help but laugh because I didn’t know when or where Merlin would appear.
-Cowardly guy.
Lars smiled coldly and shook his head.
-You’re so nervous because you’re scared, your stupidity isn’t even the size of a bean.
‘You were the most scared.’
I don’t know what you’re talking about when you hide away and say you don’t like obsession.
-Ji, because of the obsessive trauma… .
‘trauma?’
If it’s enough to cause trauma to Ras, it’s definitely not an ordinary demon.
‘If you’re scared, you must be very strong.’
-I’m not scared! Are you afraid of poop and avoid it? Avoid it because it’s dirty!
‘That’s true.’
Raon chuckled. Even in the demon world, it seems like they avoid crazy people instead of dealing with them.
‘I guess he’s pretty strong, huh?’
-It’s just a nuisance, but it’s not the real king’s opponent! When the main king is in the demon world, he is an invincible demon king with the strongest power and no one can match him… .
Lars was so obsessed that he suddenly started bragging about himself. She is truly a demon lord when it comes to her mood swings.
“Ugh.”
Raon listened to Lars’ boasting with one ear and checked his physical condition with the other. Although the trauma to his back and the swollen mana circuit had not fully recovered, he had no major problems fighting. It was rewarding to operate the ring of fire and cartoon ball without sleeping.
-There are probably many demons who still miss their original king. Why do you think he misses? okay. This mighty force! Falling in love with the same magic as the sea… .
‘It never ends.’
As I was changing into my uniform, ignoring Lars’ continued boasting, a message appeared before my eyes.
[You have cut down the spiritual attack magic .]
[You won against a high-level strongman while injured.]
[The grade of the requiem sword’s characteristic increases by 2 levels.]
[The Yogi of the Requiem Sword increases.]
[The level of the attribute increases.]
[All abilities increase by 8 points.]
The reward for cutting down Tacheon’s magic yesterday and defeating Borini Keaton while injured has only now appeared. He seemed to have been waiting until his body and mind had recovered to some extent.
“Is it two steps at once?”
Thanks to cutting away the chaos of the other heavens, the level of was raised to 3 stars at once. Considering that the attribute has also increased and the level of the Requiem Sword has been raised, the compensation for cutting magic was excessive.
Wooooow!
As if he liked the requiem sword, it sounded a clear sword sound.
-What is this?
Lars, who had been bragging about himself, opened his mouth wide.
-If you give me that kind of reward just for cutting that thing, what will the king do? They even scrape the bottom and scoop it up… .
‘They say you are one of the strongest in the demon world.’
-uh… .
‘If I feel burdened by handing over this much compensation, isn’t I weak?’
-Well, that’s not it… .
“For the benevolent Demon King of Wrath, this level of compensation is the equivalent of scooping up a rip-off from the sea. is not it?”
-yes! That’s right!
Lars nodded, holding back tears because of the boast he had made a while ago. It was a tree that generously gave to this point.
Raon turned his head from Lars, who was smiling awkwardly, and looked at the last part of the message.
‘The increase in characteristics is welcome, but the abilities are a bit ambiguous.’
It’s not that it’s not good.
There was a battle that I would soon have to fight with all my might, and it was a little disappointing that errors were made in my body that had been polished to perfection.
‘No.’
The first opponent is the Chamryongsu.
The true dragon beast that had to be fought first before trampling on Cadiz was the perfect opponent to help his body adapt to his stronger body.
‘A power struggle is good.’
It seemed like it would be fun to have a battle of strength with a warrior from the Beast League who was said to have the strongest body among the six emperors.
Raon put on his coat and looked out the window. He grasped his sword as he watched the sunlight gently fading away.
‘Today is the day when Sieghard’s name is hung on the highest place among the six emperors… .
-Let’s eat first before that. I can’t sleep well, and I feel empty because my abilities were taken away by you.
Lars rubbed his stomach with wide eyes.
‘Please, let’s understand the atmosphere… .’
Raon sighed and shook his head.
