“Aaaahhh!”
“Bellisen!”
“Lord, I killed him! “I killed Belisen by cutting his throat!”
“S-you’re crazy… .”
All of the Aryan family’s executives screamed as they saw the treasurer’s body lying on the ground with his head ripped off.
“What is this… .”
Wigen Arian raised a trembling finger with a pale complexion.
“How could you do such a terrible thing!”
“Are you sick of it?”
Raon twisted his mouth as he looked at Wigen Arian’s shaking pupils.
“The worst thing is that you abandoned your family in crisis and ran away.”
He stood in front of the logistics officer, ignoring the former executives who were screaming and criticizing him.
“Tell me your sins.”
“I-I…” .”
The logistics officer’s chin trembled as he looked at Raon’s emotionless eyes.
‘You have to beg!’
This man is different from Wendy.
If you take it lightly because you are young, your head will be blown off like a finance officer. I had to put aside my pride and bow my head.
“S-sorry! Please forgive me this once!”
The logistics officer bowed and lowered his head. He didn’t make any excuses and just said he was wrong.
“what?”
There was no emotion in Raon’s voice. This time again, he was not deceived by words, but penetrated to the heart of the problem.
“What are you sorry for?”
“Well, my family was at war, but I ran away and got hit.”
The logistics officer spoke the truth that none of the executives could.
“You know me well.”
I raised my head with hope when I heard Raon’s voice seem to have softened slightly.
‘It’s an opportunity.’
I had to somehow persuade him to survive.
“I will be punished sweetly. I will reform my family for the sake of my family, so give me just one chance… .”
“That opportunity has already passed.”
“Now, wait a minute. The whole family’s secret… “Big!”
The logistics officer felt light passing before his eyes and lowered his raised hand.
‘what?’
I don’t have any strength, but it hurts so much… .
He fell, unable to grasp the red line drawn on his neck. He looked up at another executive next to him with his eyes wide open, as if he couldn’t believe death.
“Ugh!”
“Aaaahhh!”
“Again, again! “I killed you again!”
The Aryan executives retreated to the corner of the throne room as if running away from the blood spilled by the logistics officer.
“This is death, slaughter! “Why are you doing this to us who have surrendered?”
Wigen Arian hid behind the top executives and screamed evil.
“No matter how much you have been given full authority by Sieghart, this is beyond your authority!”
“Are you saying it’s overtime rights?”
“Yes! We are still the executives of this family! “What are you doing that kills us?”
“Your story is wrong in two ways.”
Raon raised his index and middle fingers.
“First of all, I didn’t just take over control of this place from Sieghart.”
As he said that, he pointed to Wendy behind him.
“I am the current head of the Aryan family. Wendy Arian was entrusted with the position of commander-in-chief of the war. And I haven’t declared the war over yet.”
Because he collapsed as soon as the sphere of morale was burned, he could not announce the end of the war. The war of the Aryan family is not over yet.
“In other words, since the war is not over, you can be summarily disposed of with the authority of the Commander-in-Chief.”
“ah… .”
“Z, summary disposition… .”
The executives trembled at the word summary disposition.
“And the second.”
Raon folded his index finger and held his middle finger forward.
“You are not executives. He is a criminal. He is a thief who sold out his family, and a deserter who abandoned his family at war. Even if the war is over, immediate participation is possible.”
Without a single exception, the executives who have been caught here are not worth saving.
If they had even carried stones during the war, I might have forgiven them, but they are trash who took hostages and ran away without even looking back.
They must not be left behind, even if it is for the Aryan family to be reborn.
“You gave me the answer, so let’s continue.”
Raon raised his sword and approached the executives. The executives’ complexions turned yellow at the murderous intent in his eyes.
“Oh, don’t come!”
“Go over there!”
“We just wanted to live!”
“Rain, damn it… .”
The executives were curled up in a corner like insects, with the smallest executive being thrown forward like a sacrificial lamb.
I laughed at them for not being able to unite among themselves and choosing a scapegoat.
“Please save me. I would have just followed them… .”
Instead of listening to everything he said, I tightened my grip on my wrist. The Jecheon sword, curved like a sickle, passed through the officer’s neck.
“ah… .”
He fell backwards, trying to stop the blood flowing from his neck.
After that, Raon cut off the heads of six executives before lowering his sword.
‘Uhm… .’
As soon as I woke up, not yet fully recovered, I swung my sword, and my fingertips felt slightly numb.
-So why are you fussing?
Lars clicked his tongue as if he felt pathetic.
-You can take care of those bugs later, so what’s the rush?
‘Because they are the ones who can destroy the family system.’
They are the ones who have ruled this family for a long time.
If the outsider hadn’t been him, he would still be wiggling his tongue and reaching out to Wendy and the new executives, so he needs to cut them all down now.
“Whoa… .”
Raon narrowed his eyes as he looked at the executives gathered in the corner as if they were one body.
Now all that remains are Wigen and his siblings. In other words, they were Wendy’s family.
“Wendy.”
Instead of swinging the sword right away, he turned around and looked at Wendy.
“Are you okay?”
“yes.”
I was planning on calling her even if she said it wasn’t okay, but she nodded right away.
“It’s going to be hard, so you can stay out.”
“no. “I will watch from here.”
Wendy Arian shook her head with eyes that did not waver at all.
It seemed like there was a heavy rock in her eyeball instead of a pupil.
‘What happened?’
The atmosphere was different from before. A will that seemed to transcend something of her seemed to bloom on Wendy’s shoulders.
“Are you sure it’s okay?”
Raon asked the last question, chewing his lips thinly.
‘It’s family.’
To her, they are strangers and sinners, but to Wendy, they are family. I was concerned that I would be here to watch until the end.
“it’s okay. As the head of the family, I will see to the end of sinners.”
Wendy looked down at the executives with cold eyes that seemed to be looking at others.
“Wow, Wendy! “Didn’t this uncle carry you on your back when you were little?”
The goat-bearded commander in front motioned to Wendy.
“Give me one last chance! If you forgive me just once… .”
“You are the one who kicked away the last chance.”
Wendy glared at him without even turning her head.
“All that will be given to the deserter is a blade.”
He nodded as if he could do it now.
-It’s changed.
‘okay. ‘Something has changed.’
Wendy Arian’s insides took on a noticeably different shape. I still can’t quite decide if that’s a good thing or a bad thing.
‘But that doesn’t mean it won’t be painful.’
It is impossible to change a person’s personality in three days. Since she would barely be able to tolerate it, it was her job to handle it as neatly as possible.
Sigh!
Raon struck down the sword raised above. The sword fell without hesitation and cut off the commander’s throat.
Red blood flowed down and wet the feet of the executives pinned in the corner.
“Wow, it’s Wendy!”
“How could you do this!”
“How did we raise you!”
“I can’t save you! On the contrary, you are encouraging it! “You devilish bitch!”
The executives shouted at Wendy, but Wendy looked at them without blinking.
Raon lowered the heads of those who cursed one by one.
Whoa whoa.
Before we knew it, hot blood was dripping down the sword, and the only person left was Wigen Arian.
“Wow, it’s Wendy!”
Wigen Arian crawled with trembling hands and feet to Wendy.
“I’m sorry! I’ve done everything wrong so far! “Please save me!”
He grabbed Wendy’s ankles and cried like a child. He seemed to be panicking because he had never imagined a situation like this.
“I don’t care if I stay in prison for the rest of my life! “Please, just save me!”
“Do you remember the candy you bought me when I was little?”
“Buy, candy? What does that mean! Now is not the time to play around, but somehow convince that monster… .”
Wendy knelt down and lowered her eyes as she looked at Wigen.
‘The reason I have endured under you until now… .’
It was because of the lollipops.
Childhood. It reminds me of the lollipop that Wigen bought me.
The warmth of his father’s hands and the sweetness of the lollipop created a life of obedience under him for over 30 years.
I asked him about the lollipop as it was the first and last gift he gave Wigen himself, but as expected, he didn’t seem to remember.
‘Now all the candy has melted.’
During this war, the lollipops that Wigen gave melted without leaving any dust behind. There was no longer any regret for him.
Wendy raised her head. From Raon’s perspective, a trust that she had not felt even in her family came to her.
The promise I had sworn to follow him came to mind, and my oppressed heart beat violently.
“father.”
Wendy bent her knees and made eye contact with Wigen.
“I wanted to rebuild this family with you.”
“Well, then… .”
“After paying for my sins, I wanted to offer the position of the head of the Taesang family and ask for advice. “But my father committed a sin that he should never have done.”
A cool feeling like the wind of the North Sea rose above her eyes.
“When the family is in danger, the head of the family abandons the family and runs away while taking hostages. This is something unheard of even in the history of the continent.”
Wendy stands up with a cold, stiff complexion.
“But you don’t have to worry.”
“ah!”
Wigen raised his head at her words. Hope sprouted in her dead, sunken eyes.
“Thank you! thank you so much! Serving my family all my life… .”
“You made a big mistake.”
“what?”
“Your ugliness. “I told you not to worry because I will leave this family’s filth in history.”
Wendy shook her head, saying she had misunderstood.
“Raon. sorry. “Please.”
“All right.”
Raon nodded and approached Wigen.
“Now, wait! I am the head of this family… .”
To make it easier for Wendy, Wigen’s horse and head were cut off at the same time.
“Ugh… .”
Wigen collapsed, scratching his cracked neck with his grimy fingernails.
“after… .”
Raon shook off the blood on his sword and took a breath.
Wendy Arian looked at the dead one by one before raising her head.
“Raon.”
A thin tear flowed down her cheek as she looked at me.
“Can you buy me just one piece of candy?”
* * *
A dark room without a single small window.
The sound of muscles and bones twisting could be heard in a dark room where nothing would have been visible were it not for the blue flame blooming from the white bone in the center.
Puddeuddeuk!
The strange sound that had been heard for about an hour stopped, and a ghost wearing the mask of an Arch Lich stood up from under the white bones.
However, his appearance was different from before.
All of the deathly energy that had wrapped around it like skin had disappeared, the robe was torn, and there was a large scratch on the forehead of the mask.
“Damn it!”
The ghost struck the ground and screamed.
“Raon Zighatr! “How dare you!”
It’s done.
Now that the gem that had been gathering morale for a thousand years was complete, I was confident that I could kill Raon Sieghardt and all the reinforcements he had called.
Rimmer intervened, but since he was weak from dealing with Hell Pilgrim, he was able to deal with it without any problems.
But everything was ruined by Raon Sieghardt, who thought he had it all figured out.
‘You rat!’
Raon Sieghard deliberately hid his power, creating the perception that he could not break the barrier of fraud, and then destroyed the jewel and his own core at the same time with a secret sword imbued with divine power.
Due to divine power, the resurrection was delayed and could only occur after three days.
‘Besides, he wasn’t even dead.’
I don’t know how, but Raon survived the huge explosion of fraud. He was a damn lucky guy.
‘kill. ‘I’m going to kill you no matter what.’
Until now, I thought it was just an annoying intruder, but not anymore. He will kill this guy with all his might.
‘No matter how long it takes!’
Although he was revived thanks to the characteristics of the Arch Lich Mask, he lost his best body and jewels, so it will take a long time to regain his strength.
But never give up. I will kill him even if I have to follow him to the end of the continent.
“I will definitely kill you.”
“It looks good.”
As he vowed to kill Raon, an eerie voice could be heard throughout the room.
‘This voice… .’
You’re such a crazy bitch that you can’t help but notice. It was Merlin’s voice.
“Merlin? “Why are you in this room!”
The Demon Ghost screamed and turned around, but Merlin was nowhere to be seen.
“where are you! “Come out now!”
He tried to use exploration magic, but he could not use it due to the lack of morale left in his body.
“If you’re going to go crazy, go crazy properly!”
The ghost gave up looking for Merlin and put his hand on the wall to get out, emitting little morale.
“hmm?”
But the door didn’t open. The only way out of this room was frozen, motionless.
“What the hell is this…” .”
The ghostly spirit lifted its head, its chin shaking. Only after adjusting to the darkness did I begin to see the upper part of the room.
Now that I see it, this is not a room designated for resurrection, but a place like a translucent fish tank with a dark back.
‘fishbowl?’
Could it be a golden fish tank?
The golden fishbowl is an artifact that can trap the desired object inside the fishbowl. Although its capabilities were absolute, it was considered an almost meaningless tool because it had to spend more than two days in a fish tank to keep it captive.
‘but… .’
After his death, he was immediately sent to the Resurrection Chamber, where he spent three days as a small bone. In other words, he had no choice but to be trapped in a gold fishbowl.
“Merlin! You crazy bitch! What on earth is this? “Come out now!”
As the ghost screamed, the wall on the other side shook like spring water, and Merlin, wearing an old woman’s mask, walked out.
“You did something you shouldn’t have done.”
Merlin looked this way and revealed a cool look in his eyes.
“What shouldn’t you do? “What does that mean!”
“Raon collapsed and bled.”
“what?”
“He couldn’t eat, sleep, or fight for six days, so you will rot here for the rest of your life.”
She said with a creepy smile, saying it was a natural price to pay.
“Do you think Tacheon will just let it go like this?”
“He won’t know unless he kills you. Because really, I’m carrying out a mission somewhere else.”
Merlin shook his head, saying that this body was just an alter ego.
“If it were your normal personality, you wouldn’t appear in front of Tacheon until you regain your strength, so he wouldn’t be suspicious either.”
The hair on her head stood on end as the corners of her mouth curled up on the old woman mask she was wearing.
“I don’t care if I get caught.”
“what?”
“Because my path no longer leads toward giving back.”
After saying those words, Merlin turned into a bubble and disappeared into the fish tank. Since he was said to be an alter ego, he seemed to have returned to his original form.
Grumbling.
The Demon Ghost gritted its teeth.
“It turned. “It turned properly.”
Reduction is Eden’s ultimate goal. Raon is not even interested in that. It means that you are completely in love with that young guy.
‘But it’s okay.’
As long as that crazy bitch isn’t watching, there are plenty of opportunities to get out of here. It may take a long time, but you will be able to break through the fish tank and get out.
“Merlin. “I will kill Raon before your eyes.”
Although there was very little mana in the fish tank, it did not mean that it could not be collected at all.
I tried to force myself to gather mana, but the back of my neck tingled and goosebumps appeared as if someone was watching me.
‘what?’
I thought it was strange and raised my head.
Goooooh.
The sky dyed black. The eyeball with the red cross on it twitched. It’s Merlin. She didn’t leave, but was watching the fish tank from outside.
“ah… .”
His eyes were filled with murderous intent, and his heart tightened as if it would explode.
“Who are you going to kill?”
Under the eyeball. Red lips moved and an eerie voice came out.
“Who are you going to kill? Who are you going to kill? Who are you going to kill? Who are you going to kill? Who are you going to kill? Who are you going to kill? Who are you going to kill? Who are you going to kill? Who are you going to kill? Who are you going to kill? Who are you going to kill? Who are you going to kill? Who are you going to kill? Who are you going to kill? Who are you going to kill? Who are you going to kill? Who are you going to kill? “Who are you going to kill?”
I covered my ears as the voice felt like a knife cutting into my ears, but her voice did not cut off.
“Aaaah! stop!”
Merlin’s voice stopped only after the ghost screamed as if it would tear its throat, but that was not the end, but the beginning.
“I will watch. I’ll be watching. I’ll be watching. I’ll be watching. I’ll be watching. I’ll be watching. I’ll be watching. I’ll be watching. I’ll be watching. I’ll be watching. I’ll be watching. I’ll be watching. I’ll be watching. I’ll be watching. I’ll be watching. I’ll be watching. I’ll be watching. I’ll be watching. I’ll be watching. I’ll be watching. I’ll be watching. I’ll be watching. I’ll be watching. I’ll be watching. I’ll be watching. I’ll be watching. “I will watch.”
So that no harm comes to him.
forever.
