Chapter 712
“I have no intention of letting go of either of them.”
Raon quietly muttered and clenched his fists.
‘First of all, you must go to the North-South Alliance headquarters before the war ends.’
Basically, there is no need to worry about war.
Even in Sieghart and Oma, which are located at the top of the Six Emperors, war between the North and South, which are located at the bottom, is as obvious as fire.
But behind this incident, Delus Robert and Tacheon are on the move.
Second to being dirty, they are pitiful guys, so they will definitely be using other tricks.
‘The target of that trick is… .’
It must be the head of the family.
The biggest obstacle to Delus Robert and Tacheon is Sieghardt’s owner, Glenn Sieghardt, who is called the Thunder God.
It was clear that they would use this war as an opportunity to kill Glenn Sieghart, so we had to do whatever it took to stop them.
‘and… .’
Raon took a quick bite and closed his eyes.
‘I can’t let Merlin die either.’
Even though she was tired of Merlin’s stalking, she really helped her.
Not only did I have information about Eden and Oma, but he also saved my life many times, so this time it was time for me to save Merlin.
“huh!”
Garam nodded loudly as if he could do both.
-You want to do both?
‘okay. ‘If I’m the person I am now, both are possible.’
Raon calmly lifted his eyelids.
‘Because I have recovered from my wounds and have come to terms with my understanding.’
Thanks to Garam’s treatment, both my external and internal injuries were completely cured, and the realizations I gained while fighting between life and death with my father, Roman, and the achievements I achieved in the world of images all became mine.
Right now, I felt like I couldn’t lose to anyone and that I could do anything.
-Well, what kind of growth is that! It’s not even as good as the original king’s claws yet!
Lars squinted his left eye as if he didn’t like it.
‘You didn’t even compare me. ‘Claws have grown a lot?’
Raon smiled brightly and waved his hand.
‘Thank you for the compliment.’
-Chi, that’s not a compliment! It’s not the claws, it’s the claws!
Lars shook his head, saying it was definitely not a compliment.
‘okay. okay.’
Seeing him so embarrassed makes me more confident. It was clear that the achievements I had made so far were enough to surprise even the devil.
– Ugh, your tone of voice has become more arrogant.
‘I was always like this?’
-more! More and more!
Lars pulled his ear and exposed his teeth.
-Somehow, the more I look at him, the less I like him… .
‘uh? I was so grateful that you saved me that I was going to buy you 10 boxes of mint chocolate when I returned to the family.
-It’s Raon!
‘… ‘Poop well?’
-ah! Well done!
The guy couldn’t even remember the words that Runan and Encia exhaled as if they were breathing, and shouted that they were shit.
I’m not sure if it’s intentional or if my memory is affected by the Demon King theme.
-10 boxes of mint chocolate will be recognized even by the king… .
‘Now be quiet.’
Raon pushed away Ras who was clinging to him and turned his attention to Garam.
“Garam. “This is the Gazelle River, right?”
“huh. “It is the deepest part of the Gazelle River.”
Garam nodded, saying he couldn’t find anyone.
“If I go from here, how far is it from the place where I hid the woman and the battlefield?”
“If we are here and we go, the woman is here and the battlefield is over.”
He used water to draw a chart showing the Gazelle and Ravel rivers touching each other.
-You have to go back quite a bit.
Ras frowned as he looked at the map. As he said, to find Merlin, we had to take a detour through the canyon.
-But if you use that little guy’s magic, won’t you be able to go right away?
‘That’s a spell that can only be used when coming to this nest. And it’s Garam.’
Garam’s movement spell can only be used when returning. When I left here, I had to move it myself.
“There are a lot of skeletons here, but there are really strong humans hiding here.”
Garam’s lips trembled as he pointed to the river where Merlin was hidden.
“I keep going, but it doesn’t move.”
“I guess so.”
The strong human being that Garam talks about is a ghost. He won’t move around until he finds Merlin.
“Don’t worry, just guide me.”
Raon lightly tapped Garam on the shoulder and laughed.
“I’ll take care of those bones.”
The ghosts of the dead who constantly resurrect and attack the undead are very troublesome beings. I thought it would be a good idea to take this opportunity to kill him completely.
“now… hmm?”
When I was about to say let’s go, I felt empty around my waist. I tried to find the requiem sword, but it was nowhere to be seen.
“Garam. “Have you seen the red dagger?”
“dagger?”
Garam tilted his head as if he had no idea what was going on.
-That means you almost fell into the river and died.
Lars shook his head, saying that the situation was so urgent that no one could care.
‘Right.’
Unfortunately, it seemed like there wouldn’t be time to find the requiem sword now. I felt like I would have to come back after the war was over.
Raon strapped the Jecheon Sword to his waist and left the Cheonglu tribe’s house. I went up to the water where the sunlight was dappling and nodded to Garam.
“I’d like to ask for guidance. “First, the woman wearing the mask.”
“huh!”
Garam nodded as if asking to be trusted and went ahead.
Boom!
Raon jumped out of the water, following Garam. It seems as if the weight of the body has disappeared and it stretches out endlessly.
He was able to catch up with Garam, who was ahead of him using magic, in an instant.
“Eh?”
Garam looked up and widened his eyes.
“Are you going as fast as you can now?”
The guy’s lips trembled as if he was embarrassed.
“okay. Please keep going at this speed.”
Raon smiled slightly and nodded.
-hey. At this speed… .
Lars blinked and stuck to the side.
-Do you think it would be okay to have some mint chocolate on the way?
‘ha… .’
Raon let out a deep sigh. Seeing that stupidity made me realize that Lars was back.
‘Mint Choco confiscated for one year.’
-Eck! No, it was a joke!
‘Confiscated for 2 years.’
-Keueeeeek!

“Ugh… .”
Sylvia destroyed another small battleship and sat down on the broken deck.
‘It’s hard to get up… .’
Both physical strength and aura were at their limits. With her mental strength, she could endure as long as she wanted, but her tired body seemed to make it difficult to swing the sword.
‘Did I overdo it?’
It was a mistake to rush in at all costs to find Raon’s enemy. Of course, even if I went back, I would do the same thing.
‘North and South lords, vice-lords, and Beorn.’
Those three people had the greatest influence on Raon’s death.
Even if the North and South leaders had no choice, they wanted to personally kill the vice leaders who ordered the attack and Beorn, who stabbed Raon. No, I have to kill him.
‘Where on earth are they?’
As Sylvia chewed her lip and looked away, a huge black ship rose between the battleships of the North and South Alliance battleships.
It was similar in size to the battleship Cheongrang of the North and South Korean alliances.
‘That ship… .’
I swallowed dry saliva and filled my eyes with aura. My vision expanded rapidly and I saw an old man standing at the end of a black battleship.
Gray-white hair, a sturdy muscular body, and even a long spear in his hand. It was the same as the appearance of Helgurum, the vice-leader of the North and South Alliance, that I had heard about on my way here.
“That guy… .”
Sylvia stood up. Upon seeing Leon’s enemy, a dying ember seemed to come to life and a vast mana exploded from the artificial dantian.
‘He was injured too.’
Helgurum had bandages wrapped all over his body, as if the injuries he received during the battle with the sword demon Rektar had not yet healed. It was his chance to catch the guy.
Ugh!
After Sylvia destroyed the battleship, she landed in the river. Ignoring all of her other ships, she headed only for Helgurum’s battleship.
Quaaaaa!
I ignored the endless barrage of magic cannons, arrows, and harpoons.
Despite the pain of splitting flesh and crushing bones, I focused only on running and climbed onto my vice-captain’s battleship.
“you… .”
Helgurum narrowed his eyes as he looked at Sylvia’s blood-soaked hair like red silk.
“Blonde red eyes. “Is it Sylvia Sieghardt?”
He curled the corners of his mouth as if he were laughing.
“Why did you come here? “Do you want to follow your son?”
“Helgurum!”
As Sylvia rushed forward with a scream-like roar, the black-haired swordsman on the right side of Helgurum jumped forward.
Hahahaha!
The black-haired swordsman’s auror, standing like a wall, roughly pushed Sylvia away.
“Ugh… .”
Sylvia was thrown backwards and vomited blood on the deck.
“Your son knows my subject, but you are worse than him.”
Helgurum clicked his tongue for a long time.
“of course.”
Sylvia got up, chewing her lip until it bled.
“Because my son is so much better than someone like me!”
She held the sword with both hands and poured out all her remaining aura.
Kwaaaaang!
However, Sylvia’s sword attack was blocked in front of the black-haired swordsman this time and could not advance.
“Can’t you see me?”
The black-haired swordsman shook his head with a cold smile.
“Move!”
“Ha, this is the first time I’ve been ignored like this since I received Baekun’s name.”
He frowned as if it was absurd.
“Baekun?”
Sylvia’s lips trembled as she repeated the name Baekun.
‘Baekun chaeju… .’
I didn’t notice because the presence was so weak.
Baekun Chae-ju is a famous grandmaster in the North and South Alliance. I had no idea that he would be guarding Helgurum in a place like this, not in the central battlefield.
The problem is not just that. Even if they were not Grand Masters, several Master-level people were next to Helgurum.
“Sigh… .”
Sylvia was pushed back and let out a heavy breath.
‘It’s a mistake.’
It was an opponent I couldn’t defeat even if I did my best, but I was so blinded by my enemies that I didn’t think about the future.
The energy raised by anger began to subside quickly.
“Is this already the limit?”
Helgurum looked away with a cold smile.
“If you go now, your son will be waiting for you, so you won’t be lonely.”
He waved his hand as if to tell Baekun Chaeju to put an end to it.
“Aaaah!”
Sylvia gritted her teeth and rushed at Helgurum.
“It’s over.”
When Baekunchaeju was about to decapitate Sylvia, a colorless sword strike flashed.
Quaaaaaaaaaaa!
A powerful explosion occurred, and Baekun Chaeju was pushed backwards, hitting his back against the railing.
“W-Who are you!”
As Baekunchaeju lifted his gaze with his chin trembling, Karun Sieghart stepped down onto the deck.
“Were scum who had no sense of honor gathered here?”
Karun Sieghart’s red eyes fell downwards towards Baekunchaeju.
“Oh, brother.”
“Stupid. “Stay back.”
He frowned as if he was pathetic and stood in front of Baekun Chaeju.
“Yes, you are Karun… .”
“Shut your mouth.”
As Karun’s blade shook, blood spurted out from Baekunchaeju’s chest.
“Don’t call my name out of a trash can.”
He lowered his blade in an elegant manner, as if drinking tea alone.
“Ugh!”
Baekun Chaeju stepped back, stopping the bleeding from his chest wound.
“It’s not even a squid. Whenever it sees the light, it follows you and asks you to kill it.”
Helgurum came forward and twisted his mouth as if he was satisfied.
“Your face is as ugly as your personality.”
Karun frowned as if looking at dirty filth.
“All of Sieghart’s babies have rough snouts!”
It was when Helgurum was about to throw his spear at Karun.
Sigh!
Aris, who was protecting the Sieghart swordsmen during the fight between Glenn and the North and South Alliance, cut through the space and appeared on the bow.
“hey.”
Aris looked down at the hell clouds and twisted her lips.
“You said your bastard did it?”
She raised her sword with such fierce murderous intent that it made the river rush away.
“Aris Sieghard… .”
Helgurum also wrinkled the bridge of his nose as if he could not see Aris easily.
“Where is the bastard named Beorn? it’s you?”
Aris looked at Baekun Chaeju and showed a fierce gaze.
“It’s not me… .”
Baekun Chaeju’s chin trembled as if she was tired of Aris’ powerful energy wave.
“Bring that bastard too. “You and that guy named Beorn will chew it up without leaving even a bone behind.”
“Beorn is not here.”
Helgurum slowly shook his head.
“Because he did not return to the North-South Alliance after assassinating Raon Sieghardt.”
He shook his head, saying that Beorn was nowhere to be seen in the North-South Alliance.
“aha! “Would you please hide it?”
Aris laughed and shook her head.
“But what should I do with this? We came here to destroy the North-South alliance itself? There’s no use hiding it. “I’m going to find them all and kill them.”
She gestured to Karun and Sylvia behind her.
“Sylvia. You can still do it, right? “You have to take revenge yourself.”
“yes. I could.”
Sylvia stood next to Aris and Karun, chewing her blood-soaked lips.
“Let’s show Sieghardt’s siblings how fucked up they are!”
Aris collapsed the deck and rushed at Helgurum. Sylvia nodded her head and followed behind her.
“Take me out.”
With Karun’s brows furrowed, he thrust his sword towards Baekunchaeju.

Gorge west of the Label River.
The canyon, which was originally supposed to be filled with only rolling waves, was filled with undead monsters made of pure white bones flowing like a waterway.
The undead were surrounding the entire canyon, constantly looking around as if they were looking for something.
“shit!”
The Demon Ghost, who was watching the undead, gritted his teeth and slammed his fist.
‘Merlin.’
Where the hell are you!
After Merlin disappeared into foam, the entire river was searched, but she was nowhere to be found.
Gargoyles and Wraiths flew in the sky, skeletons roamed on the ground, and Sharkmaul and Eviar roamed in the river, but not a single hair of Merlin was found.
All they found was the old woman’s mask that Merlin was wearing.
‘I should have caught Raon Sieghardt… .’
Right now, Merlin is probably quietly recovering from his wounds, waiting for me to disappear.
If I had caught Raon, I would have been able to call that damn girl, but I felt sick to my stomach that she was dead.
‘Damn it!’
When the Demon Ghost could not hold back his frustration and was beating his chest, a signal came from the Bone Sharkmaul in the river.
‘If it’s useless again, I’ll have to take the head off.’
He clenched his fist and connected his eyes with Sharkmaul’s vision.
Hwaaaah!
I saw blue water droplets floating in the empty river water.
‘Why are you doing something like this…? hmm? wait for a sec!’
I tried to turn my head, thinking it was useless, but I remembered the water droplets that appeared when Merlin disappeared.
When I looked again, it was the same color as the water drop.
‘found! ‘Over there!’
I don’t know how he was hiding there, but it was clear that Merlin was there.
“You finally get your bitch.”
The ghostly ghost curled its lips. As I was about to ride the Bone Dragon into the river where Merlin was, I heard a low sound of someone walking on the water.
Wow.
At that quiet sound, the ghost turned its gaze without realizing it.
At the end of the canyon, a blond and red-eyed swordsman approaches.
I stepped on the river as if it were land, but not even a small wave occurred. It felt mysterious, as if it itself did not exist here.
“Raon Sieghardt?”
The guy who was known to be dead was walking towards where Merlin was hiding, looking fine.
“Khahahahaha!”
The Demon Ghost held its head and burst into laughter.
“Good! “I can chew and swallow both kites.”
As he chuckled and gestured, the undead monsters roaming the sky, earth, and river flocked towards him.
Wooooow!
As if that wasn’t enough, the Demon Spirit summoned a second Bone Dragon from subspace.
Kuoooooo!
The Bone Red Dragon, wrapped in dark mana, spread its huge wings and flew up into the sky.
“You’re spreading rumors that he’s dead. You’re still doing cute things.”
The demon spirit that rose with the two bone dragons looked down at Raon and curled its lips.
“Did you hide Merlin too?”
“… … .”
Raon just looked down the river without answering.
“good night. I wasn’t going to leave you alone anyway! “I will make you and Merlin puppets who torture each other!”
When he snapped his fingers, a large army of undead that covered the sky, earth, and river rushed towards Raon.
Wooooow!
The Demon Spirit knew of Raon’s power, so he did not let down his guard and ordered the Bone Dragons to fire their breath as well.
Coo coo coo coo!
Two bone dragons struck down their blazing breaths with dark mana at the same time.
Jeez.
Raon did not panic even as he saw the undead army and breath coming in. Instead, he moved forward and drew his sword.
Cheeeeee!
The Jecheon Sword moves forward as a dark flash.
Each time a golden line imbued with the flames of the sun was drawn from left to right, the undead army in front of it was erased without leaving a single bone fragment behind.
Chaaaaaa!
The moment the sword strokes of the Jecheon Sword, which split even the black breath, passed by the Demon Ghost, his head fell off.
“If you want to catch me… .”
Raon lowered his sword without a single drop of blood as he watched the ghost’s body sinking into the river.
“Please bring at least a real dragon.”
