‘Anger?’
Raon swallowed dryly and looked around.
‘There’s someone…’ .’
Although I couldn’t see or hear it, there was a presence in the room where I was alone. It looked like the guy named who appeared in the message.
Hwaaaah.
As I tightened my grip and was alert to all directions, a blue flame burned before my eyes.
A terrifying energy wave rose from the fist-sized flame. I felt like I was watching a volcano explode right in front of me.
-at las.
A chilling voice that sent shivers down my spine came from the blue flames. It was a voice full of madness, as if it would explode at any moment.
“What is this…?” .”
Although I knew a lot of information through my past life, I could neither hear nor see the talking flame.
-The anger you brought up reached the main king. I will avenge you in the name of Wrath, the second lord of the Demon World. Sacrifice your soul and body… hmm?
The blue flame, who introduced himself as Lass, the Lord of the Demon World, looked himself up and down and opened his mouth.
-child? Why a child… .
“What are you?”
-Who are you? The anger conveyed to King Bon was not an emotion that could be expressed by a brat like you with no blood on his head.
Lars’s voice was low, but it was filled with emotions so intense that it was breathtaking.
“anger?”
Raon frowned. Maybe it was my past life, but I have never been very angry in this life.
‘Wait a past life?’
If you think about it, you were reincarnated with memories and gained a strange ability called status window. This happened after he had all died.
I thought that it might be this guy named Ras who gave me such special abilities.
“So you gave me the status window?”
-Status window? You can use it?
“okay.”
-Nonsense! hmm?
The blue flames surrounding Lars trembled.
-Woah, the connection is lost! why… .
“What is your identity and why did you appear here?”
-You were the one who called the king.
“I called you?”
-Didn’t you get so angry that you would kill someone even if it meant sacrificing everything? This King has come down here to make your wish come true.
“ah… .”
I remembered that I had vowed before I died that I would somehow kill Delus Robert. Listening to his words, it seemed as if this flame appeared in front of him following his anger at that time.
‘But it’s too late.’
The time difference between my previous life and my current life was 2 years, and 12 years have passed since I was born. I don’t know what they want to do when they show up 14 years later.
“You’ll get my revenge?”
-Yes.
“What is the price?”
A deep heat burned in Raon’s eyes.
“Nothing is free in this world. “If you think about what you said earlier, are you taking my soul and body?”
-If it will grant me the revenge I so desperately desire, it would be right to sacrifice my insignificant soul and body.
“… … .”
I looked down at Lars. I see something trapped inside the blue flames. A being other than a human was smiling slyly.
‘Did this happen because I died and was reincarnated?’
If I were to guess, it seemed like this situation happened because I died in my past life before the guy could take over my body.
“Revenge is only meaningful if you take it with your own hands.”
After being toyed with by Derus all his life and dying, a new opportunity presents itself, and he takes revenge through the hands of someone else? This is absolutely unacceptable.
‘I must take revenge with my own hands.’
Raon had no intention of leaving revenge to others. Even if there is a lot of hardship, Terus’ head will be cut off directly.
-No. You’re right.
Lars glared at himself through his eyes hidden in blue flame.
-You have a deep, deep anger hidden at the bottom of your heart.
He smiled, showing his teeth.
-It doesn’t matter what happened. The king has already made his choice, so all you have to do is offer up his body.
As the anger burned in Ras’s voice, blue flames engulfed Raon.
“Ugh!”
Raon bent over and clutched his chest.
cold.
A feeling of freezing not only in the body but also in the mind. The attribute of the guy named Lars was not fire, but ice.
-Bring up your anger while thinking about that guy. Even if you are a god, my king will kill you.
My heart trembled at Lars’ creepy voice. It felt like my heart had been pierced by her frozen icicles.
[Water resistance (3 stars) is activated.]
‘Water resistance!’
The water resistance gained by absorbing the cold was reducing the pain from the cold emitted by Ras.
However, Lars’ attack was not just cold.
“Ugh… .”
Raon let out a deep groan. Derus’ face comes to mind. He is suffocated by the sneer of the man who looked down on him like a bug.
-Entrust yourself to the King. I will crush his head, chew his flesh, and swallow him.
“Huh… .’
I wanted to explode my anger towards Derus at Ras’s emotionally stimulating voice.
‘no way… .’
Raon bit his molars hard. If she gives herself over to her bastard named Lars, she doesn’t know what he will do to Silvia and her maids in the other room.
Even if I died here, I couldn’t hand over my body.
‘Hold on.’
I clenched my fist until it bled. He himself was an assassin. Also the best assassin.
He was more confident than anyone else in patience and blocking emotions, which are the virtues an assassin should have.
-It holds up better than I thought, but how long can I hold on? No one can overcome the coldness of this king.
Lars unleashed a coldness that froze his body and mind as if he was laughing at himself.
“Huh… .”
It was fortunate. If he had stimulated his emotions more, it would have been difficult to endure, but what he chose was reinforcement of coldness. I took a deep breath and endured the cold that penetrated my bones.
-Nothing worthless until the end!
Lars’ blazing voice was full of irritation and anger.
-I wanted to reduce the damage since this is the body that the King will use, but I can’t help it. I’ll swallow you up just like that.
It wasn’t a bluff. As its flame grew, the intensity of the cold that stimulated the body and mind increased incomparably.
“Turn it off!”
Raon couldn’t hold back and moaned. His mouth opened of its own accord due to the pain that felt as if his skin was being torn and his organs were being torn apart.
-Arouse anger and accept the real king. Is he going to die like that?
“It’s better to die than to hand myself over to the likes of you.”
I came to my senses by chewing my tongue. As I vowed to myself that I would rather die than hand over her body, a thought occurred to me.
‘Wait a minute, if water resistance can block this damn cold … .’
The ring of fire might be able to reduce all physical and mental pain.
Even if I said no, I had no choice but to try now.
Hwaaa!
Raon forced himself to calm down and rotated the ring of fire. The three rings around the heart began to rotate furiously.
[ greatly reduces physical and mental shock.]
The prediction was correct.
The Ring of Fire is a practice that grows and protects both body and mind. It was also effective when enduring external stimulation.
The ring of fire swirled rapidly, revitalizing the mind and body. The embers of emotion that were about to explode began to subside.
Gooooo!
Now that the mental power I had developed in my previous life, the ring of fire, and the water resistance were in harmony, the pain and stimulation that Ras had given me became much lighter.
-Yes, what about you… .
Lars’ voice contained astonishment.
Whoops.
The cold flames it emits gradually become weaker. He seemed unable to stick to himself unless it aroused his anger.
-How can such a young human!
“He’s human, but he’s not young.”
Raon answered calmly, pushing away the fading coldness.
-Hey, this doesn’t make sense. No way!
Lars let out a violent scream and fell from his body. Its eyes were trembling like a frightened colt.
-No matter how recently he woke up, the main king is being pushed aside by humans!
“after… .”
Raon let out a light breath and glared at Lars. Its flame fluttered like a lamp in the wind.
“I will take my revenge. “I don’t entrust myself to ghosts or anything like that.”
-A ghost? What a devil for the monarch of the demon world!
“I’m the lord of the demon world who can’t do anything about me? Are all the monarchs dead?”
-You really are… .
Lars enlarged the flame again, but it only got bigger. The firepower of cold air has been greatly reduced compared to before.
‘I said I just woke up.’
It seemed like he had just woken up from sleep or had been unsealed for some time, so he couldn’t use his full power.
Hwaaaaaaa!
When Raon roughly shook off his hand, Lars’ flames fluttered away like paper.
Pap-duk!
A sound like teeth grinding was heard from the blue flames.
-This is impossible. How do you control your emotions!
“You don’t need to tell me that. “Stop disappearing.”
-Where are you telling me to go after taking away the authority of the original king?
Lars glared at himself with a gaze full of anger.
-Besides, the king has already made his choice. Until you die, you can’t fall even if you want to! omg!
Raon lashed out at Ras, who was faltering. The flames dispersed, but there was no impact. It feels like I hit empty space.
“then… .”
I drew mana and gathered it at my fingertips. The quality was much lower than that of refined auras, but it was better than nothing.
Whoa!
I cut Lass apart with a hand blade filled with mana, but he came back to life like a candle that withstood the wind.
-What are you doing?
“Tsk, this doesn’t work either.”
Ras had no material part, such as a soul. In that state, it seemed like it wouldn’t go away even if I used the aura.
‘Come to think of it… .’
Even though Ras radiated strong energy, the swordsmen guarding the annex did not appear.
It seemed like he could only see and feel it.
“How do I make it disappear?”
-Hand over your body to the king. Then… .
“That’s crazy.”
As Raon was snorting, a message came to mind.
Ding!
[Additional abilities have been unlocked.]
“Extra abilities?”
Raon immediately brought up the status window.
Name: Raon Sieghardt.
Title: None.
Status: Curse of Cold (eight strands), poor stamina, reduced athletic ability, reduced mana sensitivity.
Attributes: Rage, Ring of Fire (3 stars), Water resistance (3 stars)
The question mark that took the first place in the trait was replaced with anger.
But that wasn’t the important thing. New information was posted below the status window.
Strength: 13
Agility: 13
Stamina: 12
Energy: 12
Senses: 40
Abilities such as strength and agility were displayed in numerical values.
-Wow, I really missed the status window!
Cold frost spread out from Lars’ mouth. He muttered that he couldn’t tell the contents of the status window and that he could only see a silhouette-like shape.
“What are these status windows and messages?”
-… This is a system created by King Bon.
“system? “For what?”
-There is no reason to tell you.
“Is this an acceleration of growth?”
-Well, how did you do that… .
“also.”
It’s not an automatic reaction; you react right away as if you’ve seen it. As the name suggests, Lars was unable to hide his emotions.
‘It’s as expected.’
Raon nodded. He thought it was strange that the ring of fire effect was better than in his previous life, which was also thanks to this system.
-Give it to me. This means offering up your body or the power of this king!
Lars is now starting to throw a tantrum. He felt like he was looking at a child sitting on a huge throne.
“I don’t know how to give it to you, but I have no intention of handing it over.”
I gained the ability to go faster and higher, but I didn’t have to give it back to the crazy guy who tried to steal my body.
-It’s not yours either!
“Didn’t you try to take my body, which isn’t yours?”
-Bo, King Bon heard your wish… .
“It is true that I wanted revenge, but it was something I had to do with my own hands. “There is no point in handing my body over to you, who doesn’t even know what it is, to make it happen.”
-Keueuugh… .
As if he had nothing to say, Lars could only grit his teeth and open his mouth no more.
“Stop going.”
Raon finished the conversation and turned around.
-I can’t go. It will not fall until the power of the original king is returned!
Ras screamed and rushed towards him. When he clenched his fist, thinking he could endure it for as long as he could, its body glowed blue.
Hwaaaah.
Blue flames flowed like water and wrapped around my wrist. I was prepared for pain, but there was no pain.
Ugh.
The blue flame surrounding my wrist faded and a bracelet appeared. It was a flower bracelet that looked like it was carved from ice.
-I’ll stick with you until the day your pores clog!
Lars chuckled and shook the flower hanging from his bracelet.
-It hasn’t been long since the seal was released, but sooner or later the power of the original king will return. At that time, no matter what you do, I won’t be able to stop you.
“So much.”
Raon tried to take off the bracelet, but like when he touched the flame earlier, he couldn’t hold it and it scattered.
-hmm… .
However, as if there was no shock at all, the bracelet trembled every time I touched it, and Lars’ words were cut off.
-Keuup, it’s no use. The real king will never fall!
“Let’s give it a try.”
I scratched the bracelet, pulled it out, rubbed it against the wall, and trampled it, but Lars did not disappear. This guy also had a terrible poisonous tumor.
“Tsk.”
I clicked my tongue. As he said, the flower bracelet wouldn’t disappear no matter what I did.
‘I want to take it off.’
I think it might be better to leave it alone.
If it is forcibly removed, the system may disappear, and there is also a possibility that this evil bastard called Lass will transfer to Sylvia or Helen.
As the saying goes, keep your friends close and your enemies even closer. It is better to keep them by your side than to have them do tricks in places you can’t see.
Believing in the endlessly growing ring of fire and water resistance, he decided to control Lass directly.
“If you don’t want to fall, change into something else. “It doesn’t look good on a bracelet with flowers on it.”
Raon frowned. I would understand if it was a skeleton, but I didn’t want to wear a flower bracelet like this.
-It’s a preference. Be respectful.
“her… .”
It was absurd that a guy as fierce as a wild boar had a taste for flower bracelets.
-The King has never missed his prey once he has set his sights on it. Ultimately, your spirit and body belong to the King.
“You better pay attention.”
-Woof! You little brat!
Raon lay down on the bed, blocking his hearing. Ras whined, but I ignored it.
‘But if Ras, the owner of the system, doesn’t know that I was reincarnated, who reincarnated me?’
Raon closed his eyes, muttering a new question.
* * *
Grumbling.
Lars gritted his teeth as he glared at Raon, who closed his eyes.
‘How can a person like this exist?’
Even if he couldn’t use his original power, I didn’t know that there was a person who could prevent his possession. And that’s a young guy who might be 10 years old now.
‘It does not make sense… .’
It was a different era than now, but I saw countless people. There were heroes who founded a country with a sword, and there were villains who terrorized the continent.
But this is my first time seeing such a person. I felt irritated as if I was seeing ‘that guy’.
-wait. The day when the King’s power returns. I will chew and devour your soul.
Lars could not hold back his boiling anger and let out a harsh voice.
“That won’t happen, so wake up.”
The young human waved his hand as if swatting away a fly.
-The King never gives up… .
“I said I couldn’t do it.”
