Early morning on the day of the mission.
Raon was standing on the lake behind the annex with his eyes closed.
Perhaps because he was controlling the space, not even the slightest tremor occurred on the surface of the lake, even though the bitter cold winter wind was blowing.
“Whoa.”
Raon slowly opened his eyes, looked down at his hands, and let out a shaky breath.
‘It doesn’t work either.’
I wanted to finish it before I left.
Before going to the founding ceremony of Hsinchu Oring, I wanted to achieve simultaneous operation of Mangagong and Glacia, but I still did not succeed.
Danjeon and mana circuitry reduced the pain, but using fire and cold at the same time was still a long way off.
-That’s stupid.
Lars stretched and crawled out of the ice flower bracelet.
-You’re not a wizard, so did you think it would be easy to control two attributes at once inside your body?
The guy muttered that it was pathetic and clicked his tongue.
-It’s not too late. If we only focus on Glacia now, we could turn this continent into an ice hell!
‘Wouldn’t a fiery hell be better than an ice hell?’
-It would be difficult to obtain both at your level.
‘I know, but I’m greedy and don’t want to miss out on both.’
Mangagong’s flame had a firepower that was not inferior in any way to Glacia, the devil’s art.
I wouldn’t know if I learned just one thing from the beginning. Now, I had no intention of giving up on either of them.
‘But that doesn’t mean there is no harvest at all.’
Although it failed to use heat and cold at the same time, the achievements of Mangagong and Glacia increased, and the Danjeon and Mana Circuit became stronger.
In particular, the level of use of aurors has improved, and it has become possible to perfectly handle the art of blocking sound by creating a barrier in an extremely small space, which was used by Great Lord Irond of the White Lotus.
‘I should check before leaving.’
Raon raised his hand and brought up the status window for the first time in a long time.
Name: Raon Sieghardt.

Agility: 469.

Jealousy: 60.
As soon as I checked the status window, my mouth dropped open without me realizing it. I came to my senses as the cool dawn air flowed down my throat.
-uh?
Lars looked at the status window and opened his eyes.
-Why did this get so big!
Although he could not check the contents of the status window, he screamed as he saw the size increase.
‘Why why? That’s because it’s increased.’
Has it been too long since I last checked?
‘The numbers are beyond imagination.’
I had no idea that the number had risen to this level because I checked it briefly every time a message came up and then actually moved my body and felt the change.
‘It seems like the more you use the trait, the faster your grade goes up.’
The one that has been used the most recently has already reached 4 stars, and thanks to the absorption ability of the requiem sword, it has also risen to 6 stars.
‘What’s more surprising than the characteristics are the abilities.’
The senses are at 500, and other abilities are in the late 400s, which is an incredible number. It was at a level where it could compete with the body of the Grand Master, who was said to undergo a complete transformation.
‘It’s worth a good night’s sleep.’
When I was awake, I trained and raised my abilities, and when I slept, sloth automatically filled my abilities, so it was no different from a factory that ran 24 hours a day.
Raon lightly patted his chest, which was pounding with excitement.
-Why are you doing that? What are your abilities?
‘Late 400’s.’
-uh?
‘There are also 500 units.’
-Kruk… .
As soon as Lars heard the stats, he sank like a deflated rubber ball.
-Yes, the king’s body must have dried up because of you! This bastard of a thief… .
The guy said with tears in his eyes that he must have lost some of his body weight.
‘You are the monarch of the demon world.’
-ok?
‘Does it have any effect if I only lose about 500 ability points? ‘The great monarch of the demon world?’
-Of course it’s not that big! But I’m pissed that you’re eating for free!
Lars went back and forth from this to that and became angry.
‘hmm… .’
Raon frowned slightly as he saw Lars getting angry.
‘Now that I think about it, my anger level is a bit high.’
When I went to the Aryan family, I received a series of wrath, so the number went up considerably.
It seemed like that was why my heart pounded when Lars got very angry these days.
‘I have to be careful.’
Lars hadn’t noticed it yet, but it was clear that it was having an effect on his body and mind.
I felt like I had to be nervous so as not to notice that I was shocked by my anger.
‘Let’s go now.’
Raon pretended nothing was wrong and tapped Lars on the head and went out of the lake.
With the luggage I had already packed, I was about to leave for the 5th training ground when the back door of the annex opened and Judiel came out.
She came over with her head down and held out the basket of food she was holding in her hands.
“I have prepared a meal for you to eat on your way.”
“thank you.”
-Chung!
As soon as I received the basket, Lars, who was lying on my shoulder, raised his head with his nose fluttering.
-This smell! Pineapple sandwich and beef jerky coated in soy sauce! That’s the highest quality beef jerky!
‘What kind of dog is it?’
For a guy with such a lack of insight, his ability to smell was amazing.
“Yua and Julius are also up and getting ready, aren’t you coming with us?”
“You’re past the age where you need to take care of yourself.”
“Then, Ma… .”
“I said hello yesterday.”
Raon waved lightly and left the lakeside. Because he walked quickly, he quickly crossed the garden and disappeared in the direction of Training Center 5.
Squeak.
The back door opened again, and Sylvia walked out. She walked calmly to Judiel’s side.
“Did you go?”
“yes.”
Judiel stepped aside and lowered his head.
“Is it okay if we did it yesterday? “If I go today, I’ll have to say hello today too!”
Sylvia stamped her foot in the direction Raon left, as if she didn’t like it.
“Anyway, since I started calling you mother, I lost affection for you. Where did our cutie Sunshine go… .”
“It’s probably because you’re embarrassed.”
Judiel shook his head with a soft smile.
“I know. “I know.”
Sylvia sighed.
“It’s a bit disappointing because he’s a child who hasn’t been crazy since he was young.”
“You are not a childish person, but you think about your family more than anyone else.”
“What happened after you praised Raon?”
Sylvia walked up to Judiel’s side with a scarlet smile on her face.
“Do more. “I never get tired of hearing praise for my son.”
“lady… .”
* * *
A neat office where even the sunlight pouring in through the window seems angled.
Moby Dick’s leader, the Heegeukje, sat on the sofa and raised his teacup.
As she sipped her tea, a hard knock came from outside the door.
“Come on in.”
The door opened without a sound, and a middle-aged man with unkempt blue hair came in.
“My lord.”
The middle-aged man bowed his head to the comedian and took a step towards the table.
“A letter has arrived from Sieghard saying they will participate. “They didn’t tell us who was coming, but we confirmed the information that the storm troopers were coming in the direction of Cameloon.”
“It’s as expected.”
The comedian put down the teacup without the slightest surprise.
“Since you defeated me, of course Raon Sieghardt will come.”
There was no need to look at heavenly flags. If Sieghardt participated in the founding ceremony, it was natural that Raon and Gwangpungdae would come.
“What should I do? Since only the Gwangpungdae is moving, you can eliminate it now. “We can’t just leave the bastard who humiliated our lord like this.”
The middle-aged man muttered that since Raon and Gwangpungdae were still in Sieghardt’s sphere of influence, now was an opportunity.
“If you just tell me, I will handle it myself…” .”
“McCain.”
“yes!”
A middle-aged man called McCain raised his head confidently.
“That is the worst move. Because we invited them, we can take responsibility if a small problem arises. No, that’s good. There is a possibility that Glenn Sieghardt will lead the prosecutors and invade here himself.”
The comedian touched the teacup with the red lip print on it.
“Besides, the King of the North that I saw seemed to care a lot about Raon Sieghart. “I’m sure he has escorts following him out of sight.”
I know this because I experienced it firsthand in the throne room. Flesh and blood, force and mind. For whatever reason, Glenn cares about Raon. There was no way they would only send Gwangpungdae, who had little experience.
If the attack was reversed and the information was leaked, that would be the end of Moby Dick.
“Whoop.”
McCain bit his lip until blood flowed.
“I am angry. It’s so… .”
He spit out Raon’s name like an enemy and clenched his fists.
“are you okay.”
The Emperor gently waved his hand.
“Thanks to that, I have gained and learned something.”
She smiled softly, with the same composure as when she was in the throne room.
“Raon Sieghardt will be the same this time.”
“If it’s the same… .”
“We have to make it so that even though they know it like me, they can’t move.”
Raon Sieghardt was not a bastard who moved without thinking, but a man who moved with thorough calculation.
If you were going to break him, you had to give him back in the same way.
‘This time, I will come on behalf of Sieghardt, so I won’t be able to make any moves.’
In the throne room, Raon was the youngest and could act as he pleased, but here he and Rimmer were in charge.
Since Sieghardt’s reputation is at stake in their words and actions, they will never be able to act rashly.
“Alan.”
At the call of the comedian, the office door opened again, and a young warrior who had not yet shed his youthful appearance came in.
“Did you call me?”
He lowered his head with serious eyes that were different from his immature appearance.
“Are you ready?”
“yes. “Everyone is on standby.”
Alan hung his chin heavily.
“I’ll say it again, you should never be the first to start an argument. “Just like getting your clothes wet in the rain, you have to touch the White Sword Dragon’s nerves little by little to make it move first.”
“yes. “I will prepare like that.”
“I believe it.”
As the comedian smiled in satisfaction, Alan bowed again and left the office.
“ah!”
McCain opened his mouth as if he had finally realized the meaning of the comedy festival.
‘Raon Sieghardt.’
The Emperor smiled coolly as he watched the door quietly close.
‘This time it’s my turn.’
* * *
I moved my gaze to the back of Cameloon, a trading city that Raon had visited several times.
A huge city was built on a land where golden fields were originally spread out. The exterior of the city was as gray as dry bread, as it had been completed not long after.
‘Are you saying that such a city was built in such a short period of time?’
To build a city of that size in such a short period of time, it seemed that Hsinchu Oring had more power than expected.
‘If you have five Shinju Five Spirits, you might be able to handle three of the Six Emperor Five Demons… .’
Looking at the manpower and financial power that created such a city with a separate headquarters, it seemed that not only Hugeukje but the entire Hsinchu Oring was in danger.
“Was there a city like that here?”
“Wow, you made that in the meantime?”
“Sinju Oryeong is crazy… .”
“Umm… .”
The Gwangpungdae prosecutors also opened their mouths as if they were surprised when they saw the city.
Raon scanned the city and then turned around.
“That place is Varene, the city of the Holy Spirit.”
Since this was information I had previously heard from Denning Rose, I briefly introduced Varene to the prosecutors.
“As I said when we left, Sieghardt’s honor is at stake, so be careful what you say and do.”
“yes!”
The prosecutors nodded heavily as if they were going to keep their mouths shut.
“My lord.”
“Nyuni.”
Rimmer, who was lying on the horse’s back, raised his head as if he was annoyed.
“I’m just going to hang out at the gambling den anyway. “Just figure it out.”
He waved his hand and told me not to worry about him.
‘That might be better.’
It seemed better to leave from the beginning than to have an accident on the side. Of course, you’ll need him when you’re mocking the comic.
“All right.”
Raon nodded and looked at Gwangpungdae again.
-Your guy.
Lars came next to me and tapped my shoulder with his round hand.
-Have you prepared for that woman?
‘Comedy?’
-That’s right. The fact that you maintained your sanity until the end despite being ridiculed by you shows that you are not an ordinary human being.
‘That’s right. But I think I know what she has prepared.’
I narrowed my eyes as I looked at the people standing in front of the entrance to Varene.
-You think you understand?
‘okay. That woman is very proud. That’s why she endured it until the end. Because she thinks she loses when she gets angry. Usually, people like that want to repay what was done to them.’
-surely… .
Lars nodded, saying that there were similar people in the demon world.
‘He’ll probably want to give you a similar humiliation to what I gave him.’
Looking at the moves that the comedy queen had used so far, I could roughly predict how she would move.
Raon looked back at Gwangpungdae and smiled.
“Because I may act a little more uniquely than usual in Varenes. “Understand and assist on your own.”
“Standing out behavior?”
“You really stand out.”
“I know.”
Burren, Marta, and Runaan frowned, saying that you would splatter just by standing there.
“That’s not what I meant.”
Raon smiled grimly as he looked at the city of Barene.
“To play like our great lord.”
* * *
Alan rolled his eyes as he hid among the onlookers welcoming people entering Varene.
‘It’s finally coming.’
A windbreaker bearing Sieghardt’s symbol was approaching from afar.
‘He told me not to touch him too hard.’
The comedy agent told me not to use strong stimulation from the beginning, but to start very small and not allow Raon to move carelessly.
‘I’m confident of that.’
All of Moby Dick’s warriors receive training in information warfare. Provoking someone was no different from eating bread while lying down.
‘Especially if it’s that guy.’
To Baekkyung’s martial artist, the comedy festival is god. When she thought of Ra-on messing with her and taunting her, her spirit naturally perked up.
‘I will return his humiliation several times over.’
Other colleagues were also here now. Since we kissed beforehand, there was no problem.
Alan slowly took a breath and waited for the windbreaker to approach.
Coo coo coo coo!
Unlike the others, the Gwangpungdae approached the castle gate with a fierce force like a sword.
In front was a young man with blond hair and red eyes who had his mouth open, but he didn’t seem to have any special energy.
‘Is that Raon Sieghardt?’
Perhaps because he was conserving his energy, he gave off a much softer atmosphere than the other prosecutors. It seemed like things would turn out much easier than expected.
After matching the signal with his other colleagues, Alan showed a fierce look in his eyes.
It’s not about living. It was the kind of observational gaze that made you feel uncomfortable the moment you felt it.
“Is that author Raon Sieghardt?”
A colleague next to me spoke first.
“I guess so.”
Alan nodded and twisted his mouth.
“Contrary to what I heard, it is not real… .”
When Raon said those words, Raon’s gaze, which had been facing forward, returned.
“What are you looking at with Dontae’s eyes?”
He openly muttered vulgar language and rolled his eyes.
‘it’s okay!’
Alan exclaimed in joy.
‘You idiot!’
I had no idea that I could be so easily tricked with just a glance. He was a lot dumber than I expected.
“What did you just say! “How dare you say that!”
Alan frowned as he recited the lines he had prepared in advance. Now others will join in and criticize Raon.
But no one around me moved. He was actually looking at himself like he was crazy.
“uh… ?”
