Raon’s eyes widened like moons when he saw the new message.
‘The effect of sloth is strengthened?’
The trait called has the ridiculous ability to increase your stats while you sleep, and even increases your stamina and auror recovery speed.
I couldn’t believe that this fraudulent trait was growing further.
-Keuuuuuuu!
Lars bit his lip tightly, as if he hadn’t thought that Sloth’s abilities would be strengthened.
-Slos! That bastard should have been killed a long time ago! It was a mistake for the King to keep this guy alive… .
‘Go somewhere else and play.’
I kicked the Lass that was making a fuss on the table and checked the newly emerged message.
[30 points of emotion are generated.]
[The attribute ‘s ability growth effect, aura, and stamina recovery ability are strengthened.]
Raon hit the table with his palm without realizing it.
“Ugh… .”
Runaan wakes up slowly at the sudden noise. She nodded her head towards me and lay down on her bed and began to sleep.
‘What is he really…? .’
Runaan is at Gwangpungdan. No, even in Sieghardt, he was the guy whose thoughts I had the most doubt about.
As I shook my head and tried to read the message again, the energy from the black flower bracelet Sloth had made penetrated into my body.
‘This… .’
I could feel the energy of surrounding Sloth, who came to Habunseong, seeping into my soul.
I could have prevented it, but unlike Lars’ , I didn’t feel the slightest malice, so I left it as is.
‘Is this the feeling of sloth?’
I feel drowsy. It felt like I was taking a nap while lying in bed in the warm sunlight on a weekend afternoon.
‘Not bad.’
Unlike , it actually makes you feel at ease. At this level, it was enough to lightly crush it with the soul it currently had, without using the ring of fire.
‘There… .’
Because you won’t have your body taken away from you if you receive .
Since Sloth does not have a soul attached to it like Ras, its body will not be taken away when ‘s emotional level increases.
All you have to do is use this ability properly.
‘At this rate, the growth rate will be twice as fast.’
Calculating the effect of sloth, the ability growth effect was twice as fast as before, and the auror and stamina recovery speed was three times faster than before.
In this state, it seemed like I could recover all my auras within a few days by just sleeping and not practicing.
-damn… .
After seeing that the effect of sloth had increased, Lars’ face became even redder. It was strawberry flavored cotton candy.
-As soon as my king has a body, I will go to kill that brat!
‘… … .’
Raon clicked his tongue briefly as he looked at Lars who was trembling.
You are the king of hogu.
Ras, who was born with a more powerful aura than anyone else, laughed at Ras, who was cursing others.
‘I should go there sometime too.’
-Yes, why are you going to that sleepyhead?
Lars’ lips trembled as if he was anxious about something.
‘Because I got the feeling of sloth. I’ll have to ask how they use it.’
Raon whetted his appetite while looking at the black flower bracelet.
‘Because sleeping isn’t everything.’
Since it is the emotion of a demon lord similar to Lass, it may have other abilities other than the effect of sleeping.
In order to use it properly, it was right to go to Sloth and ask.
-Go, there is no need to go.
Lars looked at the black flower bracelet and shook his head.
-That sleepyhead’s abilities are nothing special!
The guy shook his head slightly, saying that he wouldn’t like it even if I went.
‘are you okay. ‘I have to stop by at least because of the toddler.’
I was planning to go to Habunseong Castle to give Yua some time to spend with her grandfather for the first time in a long time, so I thought I would go there as well.
-Ugh! Black beef slose!
Lars found it difficult to block and started swearing at Sloth again.
-I will never forgive you!
‘Do whatever you want.’
Raon chuckled and brushed his hair away from his forehead.
‘by the way… .’
After checking out all the new abilities, I remembered the customer Wendy had told me about a while ago.
‘Sword Demon Rektar… .’
I have a connection with him.
The first nickname he got after working in Habun Castle was Sword Demon or Small Sword Demon of Habun Castle, so it was no exaggeration to say that he had a connection with him.
‘What kind of person is this?’
I have heard that the sword spirit, the leader of the five great swordsmen, has the power of ten thousand continents, but I have never seen it in person, so I don’t know what its true level is.
I wanted to experience the swordsmanship of the swordsman himself.
-You’re a sword demon, you’re a devil, so just keep your promise.
Lars frowned, tapping the table with his chubby hands.
‘promise? ‘What promise?’
-Have you already forgotten? Didn’t you decide to eat all the food your king wants?
‘Oh, that.’
Raon nodded slowly and took out Nadine bread from his subspace pocket.
‘Then with this Nadine bread…’ .’
-What are you doing?
As soon as Lars saw Nadine’s bread, he trembled as if in a fit.
-Get rid of that ugly thing right now!
The guy screamed as if he saw a weapon.
‘Nope?’
-You filthy bastard! Are you making a promise and not keeping it?
‘There is a big misunderstanding about that promise… .
-What nonsense! This king remembers every single word you said!
‘Then recite it once.’
-good night!
Ras nodded and told the details of the deal made before fighting the Arch Lich.
-You said, ‘I will eat whatever I want, not just after the war is over, but after I leave here until I return to my family.’ You even said that you would eat the new ice cream that the ice cream girl mentioned!
‘Isn’t that a little strange?’
-joy! Don’t be fooled! What trick are you trying to pull again?
The guy glared fiercely at me like a wild beast.
-There’s something strange about a simple sentence like ‘I’ll eat whatever I want.’ uh?
Lars paused while repeating his words. Only now did he seem to notice the strangeness of the transaction.
‘I guess I understand now. That doesn’t say who eats it.’
Raon looked at Ras who was shaking and raised his eyebrows. He said he would eat it, but Lars’ name wasn’t there.
‘In other words, I can eat what I want. Like this Nadine bread.’
-Wow, you’re using such a trivial trick!
‘You were the first to do something shameful.’
This was definitely not something a guy who made a promise first and then changed the details of the deal at a critical moment would say.
I felt no remorse because I was merely responding to a mean-spirited tactic with a dirty tactic.
‘If you’re going to challenge me, you’ll have to eat 100 more years of beaded ice cream.’
-I’m sorry! This king was wrong!
Lars lay down on his stomach on the table and put his hands together.
-please! Nadine, please endure the bread!
He begged me not to eat Nadine’s bread, as he would never do that kind of bargain again.
‘huh. no.’
Raon lifted Nadine’s bread and smiled.
‘It’s Nadine’s bread every day until I return.’
Of course, I have no intention of doing so. Lars has worked hard too, so I plan to fill his stomach with the food he wants to eat tomorrow. Instead, discipline must be firmly established now.
-No, no!
Raon chewed the rubber-flavored Nadine bread while listening to Lars’ screams.
Please behave well from now on.
* * *
Raon opened his eyes under the pouring sunlight. Although she is a little drowsy, her physical condition has improved significantly compared to yesterday.
‘Is this the real power of sloth?’
Thanks to the enhanced effect of sloth, the speed at which auror and stamina are recovered and the effect of increasing ability levels are much improved.
Now I feel like I can say that I really get stronger just by sleeping.
‘Ras is still unconscious.’
Lars was still unconscious with his eyes rolled back, probably from the rubbery taste of Nadine’s bread and the shock of the fraudulent transaction.
“hmm?”
I was about to slap him and get up, but something caught on the blanket. When she turned her head, Runaan was sleeping face down on the bed in the same position as yesterday.
‘what?’
Is it deja vu?
I threw it in another room yesterday, and I don’t know why it came back here and is sleeping in an uncomfortable position.
‘I heard he’s an amazing guy.’
Raon wakes up with a grin on his face, the door opens and Dorian comes in.
“uh? “Déjà vu?”
He tilted his head as he looked at Raon, who was getting up, and Runan, who was sleeping with her arms crossed on the bed.
“no it’s not.”
Raon waved his hand lightly.
“Are you feeling okay now?”
“okay. “It’s much better.”
My stomach was full, and my aura, physical strength, and mental strength were greatly restored.
Injuries were unavoidable, but my physical condition was light enough to fight right away.
“Then would you like to come with me? Danju said the customer is returning now.”
“If you are a guest, Mr. Rektar?”
“uh? “Do you know?”
Dorian left without listening and muttered, “How did you know?”
“I heard it from Wendy.”
Raon got up and put on his coat.
“let’s go. “I received help, so I should say hello.”
I should thank him for capturing the executives, but I also wanted to get a feel for how strong a warrior he was.
I followed Dorian out of the recovery room and headed toward the west gate, where people from the Arian family began to gather around me.
“Benefactor?”
“You’re awake!”
“Are you feeling okay?”
“Thank you so much for saving Ariane!”
“I will never forget this favor!”
The gasols politely folded their hands and bowed their heads, exclaiming their gratitude for leading the war to victory.
“Thank you for getting rid of the family scum!”
“Thanks to Raon’s decision, we have made up our minds!”
“I will follow Sieghart and the Gwangpungdan for the rest of my life!”
“Thank you so much!”
Rumors about the bloody execution ceremony that took place last night had also spread, and there were many people shouting gratitude for killing Wigen and the executives.
‘As expected.’
Before the war, many people missed the fallen executives, but when they abandoned their families and ran away, their image was completely ruined.
Among the many people, no one was seen looking for the former executives.
‘It will make it easier for Wendy to move.’
As the reputation of the previous head and executives is at an all-time low, Wendy, the new head of the house, will be able to gain their support by working just a little.
Raon received greetings from the people and headed toward the western gate. When the castle walls came into view, the gates opened, and the Gwangpungdan and rangers began to come in.
“what? “Are you awake already?”
Buren raised his hand and smiled happily.
“You always pass out when you fight, but why don’t you lie down more?”
Marta smiled, not knowing whether it was concern or ridicule.
“Lord Budan! Are you okay?”
“It happened too fast, didn’t it?”
“Why did you come out to get some more rest?”
“It’s okay now.”
Raon made eye contact with Gwangpungdan and motioned that he was okay and not to worry.
“Raon! Tasha! “I went all the way because you fainted!”
Rimmer approached with his body hanging limp like a zombie. I sighed at the sight of him expressing annoyance rather than worry.
“So, why did Danju leave?”
“Marta grabbed him by the collar and dragged him away. “She says she’s a guest, but she doesn’t know what she’s going to do.”
He unfolded a veil to muffle the sound and pointed behind him.
Raon followed the gesture and raised his gaze.
An old man with white hair, wearing a light white robe as if he were out for a walk, walks slowly. She was tall, her bones were magnificent, and her eyes were as sharp as sharpened blades.
‘Is the author a swordsman…? .’
I thought that Sword Demon would spread a sharp energy like a cool nickname, but I couldn’t feel any energy from him.
‘Was it to the point where I couldn’t sense the momentum itself…? .’
-It would be difficult to detect at your level.
Ras looked the Sword Demon up and down and nodded.
-It’s not bad. It’s good that there are a lot of reasonably strong people in this era.
‘Is it that much?’
To receive the recognition of Ras, who ignores the world, it seemed like the rumor that the sword would reach the ten thousand continents was true.
“Hmm.”
The Sword Demon also seemed to have discovered this direction and approached with his eyes fixed.
‘Something is strange.’
The appearance itself is as vain as an old man from Whirlwind Dogol, but his eyes are eerie, as if they have blades embedded in them. She felt like a Taoist and a demon in one body.
“I meet Sword Demon Rektar.”
Raon approached the Sword Demon first and bowed his head.
“I heard that you captured deserters who abandoned their families and ran away. Thank you for your help.”
“It wasn’t a big deal.”
The Sword Demon waved his hand. A cold voice like the North Sea wind blowing. The voice was similar to what I expected.
“I felt the terrible energy of death and on the way here, there were some bandits-like guys, so I just asked them to show me the way.”
He said that he originally tried to kill them, but brought them back alive by telling them that they were executives of the Aryan family.
“Are you really Raon Sieghardt, the so-called Little Sword Demon?”
“yes. you’re right.”
The Sword Demon said that it was not White Sword Dragon, but that it was a nickname he got while in Haebun Castle. He seemed to have known him before.
“I’ve been curious since then. What kind of prosecutor got my tinnitus? I am now looking at the sword marks you made… .”
He took a step closer, talking about the sword marks, but suddenly stopped.
“hmm?”
The Sword Demon stared at Raon’s face with trembling eyes, as if he had seen something he couldn’t see.
“Mr. Rektar?”
Raon narrowed his eyes as he watched the Sword Demon frown and then straighten.
‘what?’
I thought he was going to ask me about swordsmanship, as his nickname was the sword ghost, but he didn’t say anything and just stared at his face blankly.
“Sword Demon?”
“ah. “I’m sorry.”
The Sword Demon shook his head slightly and took a step back.
“Well, I’ll see you later.”
He pursed his lips as if he wanted to say something, then shook his head and left.
“Yes, Master!”
The young man in white followed him, calling him Master, perhaps a disciple of the Sword Demon.
Raon tilted his head, looking at the Sword Demon who suddenly seemed to be down.
‘what?’
-You must be hungry.
‘… … .’
* * *
That evening.
Because Raon, the most important person, had awakened, the Aryan family held the festival they had postponed.
Gorgeous lights sparkled throughout the castle, and brighter smiles appeared on the faces of the exhausted people.
Raon stood on the western wall and smiled slightly as he looked at the people cheering and laughing.
‘This is the family name.’
There is one thing I realized while living in Sieghart.
‘A family is a place where joys and sorrows are shared.’
If a family member is in danger, you must save them no matter where they are, and if they are killed, you must avenge them no matter who they are.
The Aryan family has not been able to become such a family until now, but Wendy will become the new head of the family and will become a huge wall that can protect the entire family.
‘I have to do that too.’
I still have no intention of becoming the head of Sieghart’s family, but I will protect the Gwangpungdan until the end no matter what happens.
-That is a natural attitude that those who stand on top should have.
Lars nodded, listening to people laughing.
-There are many families and castles in the demon world, but the only ones that remain until the end are those where the monarch or head of the family lives and dies with the demons below.
The guy laughed, saying that humans can’t do what even demons can do.
-Of course, there are some who are not.
‘Not the guy?’
-There are some people who don’t care about their subordinates and only believe in their own strength, but they become successful.
‘Like Sloth?’
-That brat is just a lazy person. Among other demon lords besides him… huh?
Ras looked down and sniffed before saying the name of the other Demon Lord.
-My, it stinks!
‘What smell?’
-The sweet scent of concentrated fruit juice melting in the heat!
The guy raised his round hand, glaring at the center of the street where the festival was in full swing.
-That place! They sell blueberry-studded pies over there!
‘Hmm… .’
Raon licked his lips and played with the subspace pouch in his arms.
‘I was planning on having Nadine bread for dinner tonight too.’
-please! stop! Just bear with it!
Lars started begging to please stop eating that rubber.
‘well… .’
“Raon.”
When I was about to tease him a little more, Runaan waved his hand from below.
“Lots of ice cream.”
She stamped her feet as she lifted a bowl of some of her ice cream.
“What are you doing there holding your poop form?”
Martha also wrinkled her nose, asking why she was being treated like a gentleman there.
“Anyway, I can’t seem to get the mood right.”
Buren chuckled while holding his beer mug.
“We’ve prepared a place for you here too!”
Dorian put down a large table and chairs from his stomach pocket and gestured.
-Why don’t you say it like that?
Lars smiled awkwardly and gestured downward.
Raon smiled slightly as he looked at Lars’ eyes fluttering like fish.
‘I guess you’ve come to your senses now.’
Since Nadine was taught with the whip of bread, I thought it would be okay to now give her some delicious food with carrots.
As I was about to go down the castle wall, something suddenly rose from the mud-filled swamp again. A shell that looks as hard as a crustacean and an elongated snout. It was a swamp alligator.
‘crocodile… ok?’
Raon opened his mouth. The crocodile was looking this way, waving its short paws and making a bizarre smile.
-Wow, she’s a madwoman!
