Chapter 831
-timing! That damn thing always gets the timing right!
Lars said he was getting angry and shook his red head from side to side.
‘It’s probably just a coincidence.’
Raon waved his hand lightly.
-Coincidences are nonsense! Do you think it’s a coincidence that rewards are always thrown at this timing? It is clear that they are trying to mock the king!
Lars clenched his fists, shouting that it was as obvious as fire.
-As soon as the main king returns to the demon world, I will beat them all to the brink of death!
‘They’re all fans? then… .’
When Raon was about to ask Lars a question, Aris came up and tapped his shoulder.
“thank god. “I can go back quickly.”
Aris let out a unique, refreshing laugh as if he was looking forward to meeting Sia.
“yes. “I was lucky.”
Raon nodded as he sent the message.
“I don’t think it was luck that you found the soul stone first.”
Aris waved his hand, saying it seemed like heaven recognized his desire to save Sia.
“agreement.”
Rimmer raised his hands to shoulder level.
“Ever since you came to this island, you haven’t rested for even a second, and you’ve only looked for the soul stone. “No one can find it except you.”
He nodded, saying that it was natural for him to look for it.
“I feel at peace just knowing I can get off this island, no matter who finds me.”
Marta let out a long sigh, saying that she almost got sick of the sea in just one day.
“I wasn’t bad.”
Burren smiled slightly, saying that it was romantic to look for soul stones while admiring the scenery.
“I liked it too. The water is cool… .”
Runaan nodded, saying that it felt good because the sea water was cold.
“Well, are you going back right away? There are still many things left to take care of… .”
Dorian’s lips quivered as he said there were a lot of supplies he needed to pack.
“What kind of guy’s supplies are just supplies! “What is there to take care of on a deserted island?”
Crane frowned, saying he didn’t understand.
“tree! rock! grass! flower! Fruit! “These are all things you can’t get at Sieghart!”
Dorian snorted, asking why he was asking the obvious.
“So why do you need it!”
“Ji, I don’t know now, but I’m sure I’ll have something to write about later!”
Crane and Dorian placed their foreheads together and glared into each other’s eyes.
“Those two are starting again.”
“Who will win today?”
“Even if Dorian wins with a sword, it’s hard for Dorian to win a fight.
The Gwangpungdae prosecutors let out a thin laugh as they watched Crane and Dorian arguing.
Thanks to finding the soul stone, everyone’s faces became brighter. Everyone was able to return in good spirits.
“Aunt Si. “Is there anything you need?”
Merlin massaged Aris’ shoulder and smiled.
“Oh, no. Who are you… .”
Aris’ chin trembled as if the old woman’s mask that Merlin was wearing was burdensome.
“Why are you calling me Aunt Si?!”
She let out a sigh as if she was dumbfounded.
“You’re Aunt Si, so I call you Aunt Si.”
Merlin tilted his head, saying it was the same question as asking why an apple is called an apple.
“La, Raon? “How did this happen?”
Aris took a step back from Merlin, looking embarrassed.
She seemed genuinely surprised by the title “aunt in-law,” which is what a wife calls her husband’s aunt.
Whoa!
Every time Merlin clung to Aris, I could feel Rust’s deep lust growing in the sea. She was truly angry.
“… Just ignore it.”
Raon waved his hand, telling Merlin not to pay attention to what he said.
‘I can’t believe the aunt I trusted ended up like that.’
Even Aris was in trouble, so it seemed like there was no one who could beat Merlin in Sieghart.
-After all, she is a madwoman!
Lars nodded his head loudly, as if he knew that would happen.
-Fake madness cannot defeat real madness!
‘Happy?’
-No, that’s not it… .
* * *
Raon returned to his accommodation on Seville Island and retrieved a reward message that he had not been able to properly check.
[You achieved an impossible feat with an ingenious idea.]
[You have defeated the Transcendent.]
[He gave requiem to the unfortunate soul.]
[All abilities increase by 60 points.]
-U, sixty? Sixty points at once?
Lars’ eyes widened as if they were about to pop out.
-Does this make sense?
‘That makes sense.’
Raon nodded as he saw the message that he had risen by 60 points.
‘You defeated the Transcendant to the level of a Grand Master, and you also comforted Lavera’s soul. 60 is rather low.’
When I said the word ‘less,’ I could feel the powerful mana seeping into my entire body.
As my overall ability increased, I didn’t feel much with just a few points, but with 60 points rising all at once, the joy of growing my body and soul came back to me.
-Ah, anyway, this is a bit… .
‘Even in the demon world, there has never been a Grand Master level person who has caught a transcendental person.’
-… There is.
Lars hesitated for a moment and then shook his head.
‘There is?’
-Of course, the situation is a little different, but you are not the only good guy in the world!
The guy shook his head and told me not to be too proud.
‘Who is that? ‘Is it the devil?’
-You don’t have to know!
Lars wrinkled his nose as if he had no intention of saying anything.
‘hmm… .’
Raon quenched his appetite. I was curious who he was, but I thought it would be pointless to ask, so I checked the next message.
[New characteristics are created.]
[The level of the trait increases.]
[The level of the trait increases.]
The second message posted was about characteristics.
New characteristics were created, and the level of the sense of lore and barding used to withstand the attacks of the second apostle increased.
-Off! Give a lot! Give me a lot!
I confirmed Biryeong’s ability by listening to Ras’ angry words.
When deploying this gear sword, it reduces the overload and aura consumption of the upper stage.
‘Good?’
The new characteristic was an ability that made it possible to use the Igi Gear Sword more efficiently.
It may not have much effect now, but it will definitely be of great help as your level increases.
-Noeeeee!
Ras screamed without seeing Biryeong’s ability.
-If you take care of me like this every time, what do you want me to eat for a living? You damn bastards!
‘The Demon King is only like this… .’
-At best? Gooooojak? Even the richest house on the continent will be ruined in less than a year if thieves occur every day! You son of a fencer!
The guy waved his arms, asking how he could survive when he gets robbed every day.
-Damn it! I should have just fallen in the first place… .
Lars lowered his head, saying it was the biggest mistake in Demonic Life.
‘If I had gone back like that, I wouldn’t have ever had beaded ice cream in my life, right? Is it okay though?’
-Uhm… .
Lars’s round shoulders trembled slightly.
‘And now, if you go back and wake your sister up, the mountain of ice cream you’ve been hoping for will be built, and a sumptuous feast will be held, right?’
-Crumble… .
The sound of Ras swallowing the saliva that flowed from his mouth was heard.
-Are you going to open the bar right away?
The guy slowly raised his head. The face of disappointment at losing strength had already disappeared, and only the anticipation of ice cream and food was shining.
‘of course. Even if I don’t open it, my grandfather or mom will open it.’
-Hum hum! Then the broad-minded King should understand! However, as you said, we will have a grand festival… Wow!
While Ras was telling me to prepare properly, I screamed and fell down when I saw the pink airflow that suddenly came out.
As I saw his eyes turn and relax, it looked like he had fainted.
“Rust?”
Raon sighed as he looked at the pink air current. It was clear to see Lust reacting to the power of lust in her own soul.
“yap!”
The space next to Rust split open and even Merlin came out. It seemed like it came together from the beginning.
“Why did you follow me here?”
I nodded my head as calmly as possible because Rust was there.
‘Shouldn’t you both be here?’
Merlin left Sieghardt, saying he would get information, and Rust promised to return to the Demon World and wait for Ra’s.
I didn’t understand why those two came here.
“I was going to leave quietly too, but I ended up making a bet with him.”
Merlin laughed, nudging Rust with his elbow.
“bet? “What bet?”
“It was a bet to see who could quietly follow you around more.”
Merlin proudly stretched out his hand and pointed at himself.
“Of course I won! “Thanks to you for finding that guy earlier!”
She said, ‘Did I do well?’ She lowered her head slightly with an expression that said,
“Ugh, I got too close because I wanted to see your face… .”
Rust sniffed in the pink air as if he was upset about losing.
A feeling of lust bloomed and the feeling of wanting to hug her penetrated my heart.
By using Rath’s anger and the ring of fire at the same time, he pushed away the power of lust naturally generated by Rust.
“ha… .”
After calming his mind, Raon let out a long sigh.
“Were you two the eyes I sometimes felt inside Sieghart?”
“That’s us!”
Merlin grinned, saying he was watching from afar.
“huh. I watched it like this… .”
Rust nodded, saying he followed along by melting his soul into the atmosphere.
“ah… .”
Raon grabbed his throbbing head.
‘I’ll go back. really… .’
They say they had a stalking match in front of the person involved, and the winner laughs and the loser cries. I don’t know what situation this is.
In fact, it wasn’t strange if they caught the two and put them in a cell like this.
But it seemed like those two would actually be happy if they were actually arrested and put in jail.
“I have a headache right now and I don’t know how to explain it… .”
Raon looked at Merlin and Rust in turn and let out a long sigh.
“Is this my compliment? okay. “Praise me!”
Merlin opened his arms to give the prize to the winner.
“Ugh… .”
On the contrary, Rust shed tears. She seemed genuinely upset that she lost the stalking contest.
“There is no winning or losing in stalking! “You criminals!”
Raon couldn’t hold back and eventually screamed.
“you! I told you I was going back! “Are you not going to keep your promise?”
“I lost… .”
Rust did not listen to himself and was only in despair over being defeated by Merlin.
“I said you need to get information too! If this is going to happen, just stay in Sieghart!”
“Give me the prize! “Give me anything!”
Merlin kept trying to hug him, saying it was right to give the prize to the winner.
– Ugh, what happened? .
Ras slowly stood up as if he had come to his senses.
‘Las, wake up well.’
Raon knelt down and supported Lars.
‘They kept following us and engaging in a stalking match! ‘Those are the two people who sometimes feel the gaze on your back!’
I told Lars that Merlin and Rust had been having a stalking match.
-… … .
Lars looked at Merlin and Rust with calm eyes. A more serious mood than usual. She seemed genuinely angry.
‘okay. Lass! What are you saying… .’
It was time for Raon to take a step back from trusting Lars.
-Just die!
Lars screamed and hit his forehead on the ground.
Whoops!
Perhaps because the spirit’s will was imbued with it, it collapsed with its eyes closed.
‘Las!’
-You can feel more comfortable now.
Lars lowered his head with a faint smile.
“Now only I can stalk! “I am the real stalker!”
“I can’t believe I followed Lass for thousands of years… .”
“… … .”
Looking at the smiling Merlin and the crying Rust, I pulled out my sword from its sheath.
‘I don’t know anymore.’
Raon struck his own forehead with the Jecheon Sword.
Whoops!
* * *
next day.
Raon left Seville Island with the Gwangpungdae, feeling uneasy about Merlin and Rust, who had disappeared when he woke up.
As I stood on the deck watching the crashing waves, I remembered how the core of despair had seeped into my toes in Lavera’s imaginary world yesterday.
‘Nothing will happen, right?’
It felt a little uncomfortable, but I savored it, thinking that since my energy had been purified once, there would be no problem.
As the island disappeared and the number of seagulls dwindled, I heard footsteps coming from behind. When I looked back, Rimmer was standing with his hands up.
“What are you thinking so hard about?”
Rimmer chuckled and placed his clasped hands on the back of his head.
“I didn’t think much of it.”
Raon said he was looking at the sea and shook his head.
“okay? But why do you look so worried? “Is there a problem with the soul stone?”
Rimmer narrowed his eyes, saying his complexion was not good.
“Oh, that has nothing to do with it.”
Raon shook his head. I was just anxious because I didn’t know where Merlin and Rust were chasing me, but I wasn’t worried about the soul stone.
“Then I’m glad.”
Rimmer chuckled and leaned his arm on the railing. He looked at the breaking waves for a while and then opened his mouth.
“Now you can finally wake up your sister. “I’ll be happy.”
“yes. I’m looking forward to it. but… .”
Raon nodded calmly.
“I am more than happy to be able to ease the worries of my mother, father, and two grandfathers.”
Glenn, Rektar, Sylvia, and Edgar searched for a way to save Sia day and night, and went in and out of her hospital room.
I was just as happy to be able to ease the worries of those four people as I was to wake Sia up.
“The more I look at it, the more surprising it is.”
Rimmer turned his gaze to Raon.
“yes? what… .”
“I’m surprised that you, who used to push away relationships, came to cherish your family so much. “Not long ago, she couldn’t even call Aris her aunt.”
He grinned, saying he liked the change in appearance.
“Thanks to my family, I realized that there is no need to be too difficult on people.”
“It seems Sylvia told me about it. “I heard she has tenacity as expected.”
“Of course my mother taught me a lot, but the members of the annex are not my family.”
Raon looked at Rimmer and shook his head.
“hmm?”
“Gwangpungdae is also my family. Of course, the unit owner… .”
It was not only Sylvia who became the person she is now who cherishes relationships, but it was also thanks to Rimer and the Gwangpungdae swordsmen.
If everyone hadn’t connected him, he would still be alone and thinking only about revenge.
“Aaaah!”
Rimmer trembled with both arms and shook his head.
“You can see the chicken skin growing! “It makes me cringe!”
“Oh, no. that is… .”
Raon blushed and her lips trembled.
“It’s a joke.”
Rimmer tapped Raon on the head and laughed.
“Well, thank you for considering me as family. Anyway, it’s embarrassing because you feel like you’re looking at someone.”
Contrary to his words, he smiled like the wind, as if he was in a good mood.
“And so do I.”
Rimmer nodded and slowly turned around.
“You and Gwangpungdae are children as precious as Siyan to me. “Of course, it’s not as much as gambling.”
He left the deck with a last joke in his voice.
-Is that crazy too?
Lars nodded as if curious.
‘He was like that originally.’
Rimmer occasionally shows a serious side amidst his light and frivolous appearance. He was a man you couldn’t hate.
‘This is why Gwangpungdae is maintained.’
Raon looked at the waves again with a smile similar to Rimmer.
* * *
Cheongpung was able to return to the first port without any trouble, except for one encounter with a small group of pirates.
“Let’s go straight through the dimension gate and go home! Lavawin will pay!”
As soon as Aris got off the boat, he gestured vigorously.
“Well, me? Why do I… .”
Labawin blinked as if he didn’t understand.
“Because of you, I only looked for the pentagonal stone in vain!”
Aris furrowed her brow and kicked Labawin’s butt.
“Aaaah!”
Lavawin fell to the floor without being able to defend himself.
“Did I know it would end up like this… .”
“If you don’t know, pay.”
Aris placed his hand on Lavawin’s head while resting on his cross leg, a typical gangster’s posture.
“Oh, I see… .”
Lavawin whimpered and turned his back. Only Raon could see him swearing at Aris with his lips.
“I will pay, don’t worry.”
It was when Raon smiled and supported Labawin.
“Aris!”
A short, stooped, middle-aged man came up onto the deck of Cheongpung and ran to Aris.
“I found the master’s real traces!”
