When Denning Rose inserted needles imbued with the mana of the earth into 16 directions, a white fog appeared around the lodgings.
However, it was so thin, like the fog just before sunrise, that it seemed like it would disappear right away if you just stirred it with your hand.
“It’s called a wired cloud. “It looks like a light fog, but if you try to look at this mansion from the outside, the fog will get thicker and you won’t be able to see it clearly.”
Denning Rose stirred the fog with his fingers as he explained about the streamlined cloud cluster.
“hmm… .”
Raon unfolded his flag and observed the flow of the streamlined cloud.
‘It’s quiet.’
The fog swirled gently around the mansion, but once in a while it created a strong wave.
It seemed to be a reaction to block outside attention.
‘It’s a method that doesn’t harm the flow of nature.’
As I look at the formation, I don’t notice any particularly sharp spots. Installation was simple and easy to use, and it seemed to be of a higher level than I expected.
“You are also skilled in the art of fighting.”
“I learned a little bit. but… .”
Denning Rose looked up at the sky and bit her lip slightly.
“After the big loss at Grandeville, I really dug in.”
Her brows furrowed, as if she was remembering what happened to the apostle’s attack in Gran Seville.
“Because I never wanted to see our Daewonwa residents sacrificed again.”
“okay.”
Raon smiled slightly as he looked at Denning Rose clenching her small fist.
‘That’s amazing.’
It must not have been a difficult task to learn such difficult strategies while working as a branch manager. I think this is why she looked bigger.
‘Same here.’
I turned my gaze to the right and saw Encia covering her face with the camera.
She was also a highly anticipated talent in the family, so she must have been doing a lot of work, and she developed a new artifact that had never existed in the world.
Although I was proud to see that both Denning Rose and Encia had grown more than before, my heart felt a little tickled.
‘I feel like I’m the only one standing still.’
A bitter taste formed on the inside of my tongue because I felt like I was the only one staying in the same place compared to the two people who were growing more and more.
-Is this really crazy!
Lars, who had been lying down like a dry fish, suddenly got up.
-Are you still? Jeez!
‘uh?’
-You’ve changed the most, so why are you talking about eating Cerberus shit!
‘Cerberus poop?’
-You grew up by sucking the energy of the main king, and then you babble such harsh words! Your conscience must have grown hairy!
Lars frowned, wondering what kind of person could be so greedy.
‘is it?’
Raon clenched his right hand into a fist.
I said this honestly because the level of martial arts has been stagnant recently, but it is also true that there has been a lot of growth in the meantime. I felt like I could move on with a little more peace of mind.
‘Thank you for comforting me.’
-I didn’t comfort you! It was an insult!
‘It helped me.’
After patting Lars on the head, I opened the front door of the dorm.
He bowed his head to the waiting warriors and motioned for them to come inside.
“You’ve waited a long time. Please come in.”
The warriors’ eyes sparkled like the sun reflecting on the lake.
“So, do you accept sparring?”
“I came here just in case. It was by chance.”
“thank you!”
“I will not forget this favor!”
The warriors’ cheeks turned red, perhaps because of the anticipation of being able to spar.
‘also.’
It doesn’t smell like Moby Dick.
It seemed that the Emperor of Comedy sent only warriors who had nothing to do with him here in order to avoid experiencing yesterday’s failure again.
“yes. I will accept the sparring. but… .”
Raon smiled as he faced Dumtkan of the Tven family, who was said to have arrived first.
“Before sparring with me, how about trying my subordinates with the warriors of the Tven family first?”
“You mean my disciples?”
Dumtkan blinked as he looked at the disciples standing behind him.
“yes. “We are at similar levels, so we will help each other.”
“Hmm, it’s clear that all of the Gwangpungdae swordsmen are of the highest rank and highest rank.”
Dumbtkan looked at the Gwangpungdae swordsmen one by one and nodded.
“But it’s been quite a while since my students reached their current level. Because of the experience gained, it will be quite a difference in Dalian.”
As if he believed in the abilities of his students, he was worried that the Gwangpungdae might all lose and lose confidence.
It wasn’t being sarcastic, it seemed like they genuinely thought that victory or defeat had already been decided.
“We are fine.”
Raon shook his head gently.
“Hmm, what do you think?”
When Dumtkan looked back and asked, his disciples immediately nodded.
“great!”
“Let us spar!”
“I wanted to fight Sieghart’s swordsmen.”
Dumtkan’s disciples also bowed their heads, asking for a favor.
“The decision has been made.”
After telling the warriors of the Tven family to prepare, Raon returned to Gwangpungdae.
“Did you hear everything?”
“It’s definitely a great opportunity. “I wanted to see how much we’ve grown.”
Burren whetted his appetite while looking at the Tven family warriors.
“I haven’t even started yet and you’re ignoring me? Do you want to search?”
Marta wrinkled her nose as she glared at Dumtkan, who had said that the Gwangpungdae would be difficult.
“I’m ready.”
Runaan nodded as if it didn’t matter at any time.
However, she still had ice cream in her hand.
“Then the first one is the crane.”
Raon looked at the three leaders and called Crane’s name.
“Eh? Me?”
Crane, who thought it was not his turn, opened his mouth.
“This started with the leader… .”
“You are the unique crane.”
Raon muttered, telling him to get out quickly, and snapped his fingers.
“If you lose, you fall behind.”
Marta raised her fist towards Crane.
“Martha is right about this. “The vanguard must win at all costs.”
Burren nodded with cool eyes.
“… … .”
Runaan held the folktale sword in silence. It was a more coercive gesture than Martha’s.
“Well, great! “I’ll come back after breaking it down lightly!”
Crane swallowed dryly and stood up from the chair.
“Don’t look at me. doing the best.”
Raon lightly patted Crane on the back.
In the past, I thought it was polite to adjust my strength appropriately and adapt to the opponent, but now my thoughts have changed.
Coming to this place and requesting a spar means that you want to see the real thing, so it was polite to do your best to deal with him.
“yes!”
The crane let out a loud cry and stood in the center of the training ground.
“My name is Henry of the House of Tven.”
“It’s Sieghardt’s crane!”
After greeting each other, the two warriors immediately drew their swords.
“Then let’s begin.”
As soon as Raon raised his hand, Henry moved first. He took light steps and struck down his sword roughly.
“Hmph!”
The crane moved sideways, emitting black energy.
Hahaha!
The sword energy and sword energy collided and an intense shock rang through the training hall.
However, the one who was pushed out first was Henry, who went first.
“Ugh!”
Henry tried to quickly get into position, but Crane did not miss the opportunity.
He advanced with straight steps and struck with a second sword strike.
Kyaaaaaaa!
Crane’s fierce sword energy spread like a fan, breaking Henry’s unstable sword power.
Phew!
Henry’s grip was torn and the sword he was holding became embedded in the training ground.
“uh?”
Crane’s eyes widened as he looked at Henry, who had fallen down as if he himself was embarrassed.
“Why are you so weak… .”
“Winner Crane!”
Raon shouted his victory so that Crane would not be rude.
“This… .”
Dumtkan’s lips trembled as he looked at his disciple who had lost his grip on the sword.
‘Surely Henry was higher?’
I didn’t expect Henry to be defeated so easily because he was on a higher level than the swordsman called Crane.
I was speechless due to the overwhelming defeat that could not even be said to have let down my guard.
‘I don’t know if it’s a group leader like Seonpunggeom or Nachalnyeo. Losing to a nameless operator… .’
It is true that you came here to learn, but that is your own business. It was a completely different story for the disciples to lose to Gwangpungdae.
“Kenin!”
“yes!”
This time, in order not to lose, I called in my favorite student, Kenin. He who is on the verge of breaking the master’s wall will not be defeated by anyone.
“Martha.”
Raon looked at the young warrior named Kenin and then called Marta.
“I just need to stop it with all my might, right?”
“Not George… .”
He waved his hand and told me not to beat him too hard.
“Nachalnyeo. “Be gentle.”
Runaan put her hands in front of her mouth and shouted something that was unclear whether it was cheering or not.
“Shall I deal with you first? “Aang?”
“Do it later.”
He stopped Marta from running towards Runan and pushed her back so she could enter the training ground.
“My name is Kenin of House Tven.”
“This is Sieghardt’s Martha.”
Marta introduced herself with a frown, probably because of Runan’s fever.
“Start sparring!”
As soon as Raon raised his hand, Marta moved first.
“Whoa.”
Kenin took a defensive stance as if asking her to come in first, as if he knew about Marta.
“Are you going to defend yourself?”
Marta smiled coldly and raised her sword to the top. Her sword turned yellow, and a huge pressure surged.
Coo coo coo coo!
A sword falling like lightning. After realizing the nature of the earth, the weight of Taesan was wrapped around her sword strike.
“Ugh!
Kenin put all his effort into raising his sword diagonally, but he was unable to block Marta’s sword.
His legs hit the ground, and the hand holding the sword shook as if it might break.
Wow!
A huge impact exploded and black smoke rose.
Whoa!
Raon created wind to push away the smoke, and Kenin was seen fainting with his eyes closed.
His sword lay broken in half.
“You’re too weak.”
Marta clicked her tongue as she looked at Kenin who had fainted.
“I’m not worried at this level.”
After saying that she had adjusted her strength, she returned to her seat at the Gwangpungdae.
“I see.”
Raon noticed Kenin’s condition and smiled slightly.
Although the sound was loud and a strong impact occurred, Kenin was not seriously injured.
In her own way, it seemed like she had listened to her request not to threaten him.
“Huh… .”
Dumtkan shook his head with a yellow complexion. He looked like he couldn’t believe that his student had lost in a row.
“Let’s start the next sparring.”
After lightly compacting the training ground, Raon called Dumbtkan.
“… I understand. “Kaman.”
Dumtkan bit his lip and gestured to the swordsman right behind him. It was an unmanned weapon at a similar level to Kenin, who had fainted.
“Runan.”
“huh.”
Runaan nodded and came out to the training hall. The fierce eyes were still there, but there was a sense of calm within them.
“It’s called Kaman.”
“Runan Slion.”
The two bowed their heads to each other.
“Start sparring.”
Perhaps because Kaman had seen the two sparring matches, he neither moved hastily nor strengthened his defense.
He started by firing off fierce sword energy and keeping them in check.
Percussion!
Runaan walked with her upper body bent forward. Frost enveloped her body, creating a soft blue light.
“Hmph!”
The moment Runaan moved, Kaman fired sword energy continuously. Seven sword energy advanced in a split second and targeted Runaan’s entire body.
‘it’s okay!’
Unless you are a master, it is impossible to block all that sword energy.
The moment an opening opened up, I had to fire a second bundle of sword energy to secure victory.
It was time for Kaman to predict Runaan’s reaction and gather the Aurors.
Whoa!
Runaan’s appearance disappeared like a ghost, and the sword energy he stretched out split the air.
“What is this… .”
When Kaman opened his mouth in confusion, a blue blade touched his uvula.
Runaan, who had already moved backwards, completely overpowered Kaman.
“I lost, I lost.”
Kaman dropped the sword covered in dark aura and admitted defeat.
He still looked like he didn’t know what had happened.
“effort.”
Runaan nodded to Kaman and stepped back.
Even after Runan, the Stormtroopers completely suppressed warriors from various families and kingdoms without a single defeat.
In fact, all the fights ended so quickly that it was difficult to even call them sparring.
“Does this make sense?”
“The level here is clearly high, how can you not win even once!”
“No matter how much it is Sieghardt, there is an age difference, so how could it be…?” .”
The middle-aged warriors who saw the one-sided defeat of their disciples and subordinates looked at Gwangpungdae with incomprehensible eyes.
However, Raon smiled without the slightest embarrassment.
‘If you lose, that’s strange.’
Who taught it?
Gwangpungdan’s current victory was a result of their sweat and effort.
He engraved death into his body through one-on-one sparring once a week, and even developed his mental strength through hell training.
Even if there was a difference in level, it was natural to win.
‘There… .’
Raon looked at Burren, Runan, and Marta with a deeper smile.
‘Those guys are even more special.’
After completing their regular training, the three visited Rimmer and received additional training.
It seems that he underwent attribute training to open the Sword World Manifestation, but his basic strength has clearly grown.
It seemed like all three would become masters within a short period of time.
Raon gave a nod to everyone in the Gwangpungdae indicating their hard work and then approached Dumbtkan.
“Now it’s our turn.”
“Oh, I know.”
Dumbtkan nodded and came up to the training ground.
His eyes sink as if he has never been so embarrassed. Calmness regained in an instant. He was a martial artist who had reached the rank of master.
“Start sparring!”
After getting ready, referee Mark Goeton came to the side and put down his hand.
“Hmph!”
The one who moved first was Dumbtkan. He lowered his stance and kicked the ground. He jumped in at once and swung his sword with all his might, and an eerie energy wave was felt as he held the sword upright.
‘It’s properly honed swordsmanship.’
As Denning Rose said, Dumtkan’s martial arts had a sharpness in its quietness. He was a sting that could be used as a textbook.
‘but… .’
My heart doesn’t race.
Is it because I saw the muhak of intent caused by Guisalchang a little while ago? Dumbtkan’s swordsmanship felt too light.
‘I guess it’s time to move on.’
Raon smiled slightly and adjusted his sword.
Cartoon Ball Baekhwa.
Hoecheon.
The spiral flame that bounced from the blade of the Jecheon Sword drew the tail of a comet.
Oh my!
The strong energy created by Dumbtkan melted away at once, and the air was filled with only the red traces created by Hoecheon.
Raon lowered his sword and lowered his head.
“It was a good match.”
* * *
“I lost, I lost.”
With the declaration of defeat by Byton, the leader of the Holy Knights of the Holy Kingdom of Super, who came last, everyone who entered the dorm knelt before Raon.
“Thank you for your effort.”
Raon bowed his head to Baiton, holding his sword.
Following the Gwangpungdan, the knight commander, the head of the family, and the head of the family were all suppressed within 5 rounds, so the inside of the lodgings was silent as if it were a library.
The complexions of all the martial artists who had applied for a sparring match, thinking they had similar skills, were also pale.
“hmm… .”
Raon quenched his appetite as he looked at the training ground, which was barely damaged.
‘What will happen?’
I showed off my skills without paying attention as a courtesy to the military, but I don’t know how they would take it.
If they came here as a real warrior, they would thank them for dealing with them properly, but if they were influenced by the Emperor of Comedy, they would spread bad rumors about them.
“Raon.”
As I was looking into the sky and envisioning the future, I heard the voices of Dumtkan and other warriors from behind.
When I turned around, everyone who had applied to spar was approaching me with their hands clasped.
“thank you.”
All of the warriors held their sword sheaths and bent their bodies so that their waists were at a right angle. Hot emotions were evident in their voices.
“Thank you for not ignoring us and dealing with us sincerely.”
“It was a short meeting, but I was able to learn a lot.”
“If you had been considerate and fought for a long time, I would have been disappointed.”
“I actually feel refreshed because I sleep cleanly.”
Even the prosecutors who used Haoche because of their position as head of the family spoke loudly and smiled.
“Of course we should.”
Raon nodded with a smile similar to that of the prosecutors.
‘It seems like you took it well.’
Looking at everyone’s eyes, it seemed like they knew the reason why he was sincerely dealing with them. The language created with the sword worked.
“Then I’ll see you next time.”
“After practicing based on what I learned today, I will ask you to spar again.”
“May good fortune be with you in the future.”
The prosecutors bowed their heads again and left Sieghardt’s quarters one by one.
-oh?
Lars looked up at the sky that was starting to darken and opened his mouth.
-What happened that ended so quickly?
‘I said I would keep my promise.’
Raon chuckled, looking at Lars with round eyes.
-You’re finally coming to your senses! I finally became a demon!
The guy patted his shoulder, saying he did well.
‘I’m human… .’
As Raon was looking at Ras in vain, the sound of small steps was heard from behind.
“I finished it quickly, but I’m actually happy. Do you think it’s unexpected?”
Denning Rose gave a small smile as he looked at the door of the dorm where the prosecutors had left.
“This is natural. “They are all neutral people who only practiced martial arts and never caused any problems.”
She continued speaking with a slightly deeper smile.
“The comedy festival may have sent only those warriors on purpose, but on the contrary, it was a great help to Raon.”
Denning Rose smiled, saying that they would spread good news about Sieghardt to others.
“I guess so.”
“I will now cancel the formation.”
As she grabbed the hem of her dress and tried to pull out the needle case, a photo stuck inside fell out.
“ah… .”
Denning Rose gaped. Her face turned a color she had never seen before.
“This, this… .”
“There’s no need to be embarrassed! Third fan!”
Encia lowered the camera and shook her head.
“Because it’s human nature to want to keep seeing John!”
She shook her head, saying that was normal.
“Third fan? “Is there a second one?”
“excuse me.”
Encia pointed to the right.
“Good luck Raon.”
Runaan muttered in an emotionless voice.
“Whoa… .”
Raon sighed and picked up the fallen photo.
He appeared to be slightly frowning, perhaps because he had taken the photo while gambling with Guisalchang.
“that… .”
Denning Rose lowered her head and held out her hand.
“please.”
“yes?”
“Please give me that.”
I didn’t expect to be asked for a photo… .
I think I liked this photo. I swallowed dry saliva and held it out.
“Thank you!”
Denning Rose walked away without raising his face.
“I like your embarrassed expression right now! “It’s so good!”
Encia exclaimed that she loved it and activated the camera.
“How on earth did you make that camera?”
Raon covered his face with his palm and turned his head to Encia.
I don’t understand why paper keeps coming out of that small size. Since yesterday, I have been curious about the principles of the artifact called the camera.
“To spread Raon’s respect throughout the world.”
“her… .”
My mouth dropped open. Developing a new artifact like that for just that reason was beyond words.
“It must have been difficult?”
“Of course it wasn’t easy.”
Encia pointed to the camera and nodded.
“At first, we used the theory of obscura, where if you drill a small hole in a dark room, an external image is projected upside down on the other side. This allows you to see, but you cannot take a picture, so we created the current method by inserting a gem containing mana.”
“A gem containing mana?”
“yes. When I used the Mana Stone, it was so strong that the camera broke. So, we divided the balance of power using gems that fit each attribute. The theory of subspace pockets was also included.”
“ah… .”
Raon dropped his hand and opened his mouth blankly.
“Dividing the balance of power by attributes… .”
As soon as I heard Encia’s explanation, a red and blue thunderbolt struck my mind.
A new way to operate Mangagong and Glacia began to emerge.
“that’s right. There is no need to focus on just two properties. In a different way… .”
-uh?
Lars’ chin trembled as he looked at Raon’s eyes gradually becoming transparent.
-hey! Where! Come back! Why now!
Now, I don’t know why I suddenly fall into a trance when I’m about to go eat.
-You crazy guy! Come back! Let’s eat first! Eat and go again! I’ll send it to you then!
I called Raon endlessly, but he didn’t return my gaze.
-I knew it! There is no way things will go well for the King! I knew it all!
Lars cursed at the sky and then lowered his shoulders like a wet towel.
-Yah… .
