Chapter 843
Ugh!
Raon ran without even a moment to catch his breath and caught Rimmer who was falling.
“Sir!”
I grabbed Rimmer’s shoulder and shook him, but he didn’t respond. The breath that was always refreshing could not be heard, and the scent of the wind was erased.
“please!”
He placed his hand on the black, dying left chest of Rimmer and poured out the divinity that had bloomed in the darkness.
However, because the amount given to Aris was too much, the wound did not heal.
“Martha!”
Raon called Martha’s name in a screeching voice.
“Shit! Rimmer!”
Martha ran screaming and grabbed Rimmer’s wrist.
She pushed in the auror to heal the wound, but Rimmer still didn’t move.
“Boo, Vice Commander!”
“Aaaah!
Buren and Runan also jumped out as if crawling on the ground and shouted Rimmer’s name.
“Square owner!”
“Instructor!”
“Please, please wake up!”
Dorian, who was covered in blood, and everyone in the storm band ran to catch Rimmer, but his eyelids did not open all the way.
“I understand why it’s called a lightsaber.”
Sif wiped the blood off the black sword and quenched her appetite.
“To throw away the opportunity to ascend to transcendence to save those bastards, he was as crazy as his name.”
He looked at Rimmer and sneered as if he were dumbfounded.
“Please save me no matter what you do.”
Raon held Limer’s cold hand and stood up.
He glared at Sif, who was mocking Rimmer, and held the divine sword and the demonic sword until blood flowed from his hands.
‘all… .’
It’s all my fault.
If only I had figured out what was strange about this dungeon first.
If you didn’t trust Sif.
If only I hadn’t been sucked into Bardiel’s barrier.
If only I could break through the barrier of light with all my might and get out here as quickly as possible.
Even if they died together, Rimmer would not have fallen alone.
All of this was my fault.
“That guy. They call themselves human. “Isn’t it funny to try to become human by using a false sword system and wearing fake arms?”
Sif mumbled some damning words through her open mouth.
“Well, it doesn’t matter. “For me, who will soon become an Elyos, whether I am a human or an elf, I am nothing but an insect.”
I wanted to rip that damn thing off.
‘strength… .’
I need strength.
I can’t even kill a single Sif with my own strength right now.
A great power was needed to brutally kill Bardiel and Sif.
Gooooooo!
Anger. I brought out all the emotions of the Demon King sleeping in my soul.
I don’t mind being erased, so give me the strength to take revenge. I wanted the power to brutally kill those scum.
-No!
Lars leapt forward, blocking his view.
-The King cannot stop or control it now! It’s not the king’s runaway, it’s you who is running away! Come to your senses!
The guy shook his head furiously, saying that everything he had built so far could be in vain.
“Aaaah! Commander!”
‘Sorry. Lass… .’
However, when I saw Dorian’s scream and Sif’s laughter, the reason I had held in until the end was broken.
Quick!
I heard a sound as if something had been cut off in my brain, and the feeling of anger welling up from the bottom of my soul spread throughout my body.
Good profit… .
White frost seeped into the heart, and the eight rings of fire creaked as if rusted and then stopped.
The flames of the divine sword subside, and the frost of the magic sword flickers as if it will explode.
As if I had returned to my childhood, coldness filled the mana circuit of my whole body, and my vision turned white.
Coo coo coo coo!
The balance between Manhwagong and Glasia, who had always worked well together, was broken, and the three danteons were filled with a chilling amount of cold.
Kuwaaaa!
Raon threw away the godly sword whose fire had gone out and raised only the magic sword. A frost storm that seemed to engulf the world rose from behind him, with green horns sprouting from his forehead.
“Did you accept the power of the demons for revenge?”
Sif licked her red lips with her tongue as if she was having fun.
“I’ll kill you… .”
Raon exhaled white steam as if standing in the center of winter.
As if the power of frost had run rampant, he thrust his sword not in the posture of a swordsman, but in a vicious manner like an animal.
Wow!
With one sword strike, half of the cavity froze, and Sif was thrown back against the wall as if she had been pushed from the force. It was a manifestation of tremendous power.
“Are we all going to die together? “You’re not a disciple of the Light Sword for nothing!”
Sif raised her black sword with black veins forming in her eyes. A slash that split space rose in front of Raon’s chest.
Whoa whoa!
Raon did not avoid. As if they wanted to kill each other, they withstood the space attack with frost armor and struck more ferocious sword strikes towards Sif.
Blah blah blah!
As the frost slash and the space sword collided, a white frozen crack opened and then exploded.
Explosive drinking erupted from all directions and the building shook as if it was about to collapse.
“Power is more than transcendence.”
Sif laughed as she looked at her right arm covered in frost.
Whoa!
When Sif stepped backwards to retreat, Raon lifted the magic sword in reverse and slammed it into the ground.
As the magic sword’s blade flashed as if it were about to explode, the space that Sif had opened to escape froze, and a storm of cold rose around her. It was a prison made of frost.
Cheeeeee!
Raon rushed towards Sif with a blue glow in his eyes.
As he was about to strike the sword at the guy’s neck, a beam of white light shot from the right pierced his waist and thighs.
“Kaaaa!”
Even though Raon was injured, he did not stop and slashed his magic sword at Sif.
Quaaaaaaaaa!
However, because she lost strength and speed in the middle, Sif easily blocked the sword attack and escaped to the left.
“What is that guy? “Does this make sense?”
Sif furrowed her brows as she looked at the black sword filled with frost.
“possible.”
Bardiel looked at Raon and let out a heavy sigh.
“The demon who lent its power to that human is the Lord of Anger.”
He lowered his eyebrows deeply, as if he didn’t like it.
“Lord of Wrath?”
Sif narrowed her eyes at Bardiel.
“Among the monarchs who rule the demon world, he is one of the greatest monsters. “I think I know why the light froze.”
Bardiel nodded heavily, saying he finally understood.
“We need to work together. “I’m not a transcendent, but I have to be more vigilant than that.”
“Hmm… .”
Sif narrowed her eyes as she looked at Raon, who was emitting stronger cold energy.
“Shall we try an experiment?”
“Experiment?”
“Just wait.”
He dodged the cold created by Raon and then fired a space slash towards the thunderstorm group gathered around Rimmer.
Quaaaaaaa!
Just as the slash that pierced the space was about to sever the throats of the Gwangpungdae swordsmen, Raon, who had been rushing toward Sif, quickly retreated and erected a wall of ice.
Quaaaaaaaaa!
Fortunately, he was able to save the windbreaker from Sif’s surprise attack, but perhaps because the direction of the cold air was suddenly twisted, blood dripped from Raon’s lips.
“Khahahahaha!”
Sif swept up her disheveled hair and burst into laughter.
“Even when you’re half-lost of reason, you still take care of your colleagues first? “I never thought we would resemble each other even to the point of stupidity!”
He said it was absurd and laughed while holding his stomach.
“hmm… .”
Bardiel also frowned as if surprised by Raon’s actions.
“This is why humans are abandoned. “You can’t do big things if you’re driven by emotions.”
Sif mumbled something pitiful and curled her lips.
“You know what to do, right?”
He raised the black sword above his head and looked at Bardiel.
“okay. “Let’s work together.”
Bardiel nodded and put his hands together. A pure white brilliance that condensed his divine power burned inside his grasp.
Oh my gosh!
Sif’s sword strike twisted and split the shared mana.
A space sword that has reached transcendence. Slashes came from all directions along with a crack that seemed to tear the air.
‘I am… .’
Raon closed his eyes as he saw the slashes and waves of light pouring down on the wind blade and himself.
‘Can’t I even make a choice?’
I abandoned myself to avenge my teacher, but I could not let my comrades die.
I exploded the coldness that had built up while cursing myself for being so indecisive that I couldn’t let go of anything.
‘I’m sorry, Commander. ‘I’m sorry Lars.’
Raon raised his sword not to protect himself but to protect Gwangpungdae.
Gaebyeok, the reincarnation of Geomgye.
A purple radiance like the twilight rises above the blade of the magic sword.
The sword strike, not to kill the enemy, but to protect a comrade, spread out in a circle and collided with the light of the Elyos and the slash that tore apart space.
Wow!
A huge explosion exploded, the floor of the cavity sank, and the ceiling and walls began to collapse.
The dungeon itself was collapsing due to shock that exceeded the standard.
“Wow!”
Raon fell into the collapsed ground, vomiting black dead blood.
However, the storm band within the wall of frost he created did not suffer even the slightest wound.
“Raon!”
“wake up!”
The Gwangpungdae shouted Raon’s name, but he did not open his eyes as if he were dead.
“Is he dead? No, check… .”
“We have to get out!”
When Sif asked to check Raon’s condition, Bardiel grabbed his shoulder.
“What nonsense! “You have to take the body with you!”
“The time axis of this dungeon is different from the outside! “If you don’t get out before the dungeon collapses, it could be years before you get out!”
Bardiel shouted that they must get out, saying that they were going to die buried in this dungeon anyway.
“Tsk.”
As if there was nothing she could do, Sif draped Aris, who had already been taken out, over her shoulder and gestured to the stormtrooper trapped in the ice.
“Should I say I was lucky? No. “Because I’m going to die anyway.”
He left those words and left the collapsing cavity with Bardiel.
“Huh… .”
Raon lifted his head with difficulty. With the little remaining cold, the wall of frost was built thicker to prevent the wind blower from getting hurt, and then he fell to the floor again.
‘Sir.’
Rimmer’s face was visible among the Gwangpungdae guys. When he saw him not losing his smile even as he collapsed, he felt so sick that he wanted to die.
‘sorry… .’
Raon looked at Rimmer and closed his trembling eyelids. When he exhaled a thin breath as if he had died, the requiem sword, which had returned to its original form, flashed with a clear green light.
* * *
When I opened my eyes again, I was in a world of images.
I come often and it is now a familiar space, but today was different from usual.
The ground, divided into heat and cold, was frozen white, and swords were rolling around covered in frost.
The eight rings of fire floating in the sky also stopped rotating and were tilted downward as if they had been broken.
Like his mind, the world of images was also frozen.
“It really looks like trash.”
I sat down in a frozen world of images and laughed.
He decided to avenge his teacher and surrendered himself to the power of the Demon King, but he did not have the courage to sacrifice his comrades again.
I felt like an earthworm, unable to do this or that, just writhing around.
Ugh.
Raon froze and pulled out a sword stuck in the ground.
“I’m sorry for being a bad owner.”
I shook my head as I looked at the sword that seemed to resemble the Igigeo sword of the first family head.
‘What would he have done?’
No, if it’s my grandfather.
The most determined and strong prosecutors he knows. I wondered how they would have acted in the same situation as me.
“No, it doesn’t matter anymore.”
I am already broken. Even if you survive, it will take a really long time to get revenge.
‘I’ve lost so much.’
Rimmer is dead, Aris is unknown, and Sif, on the other hand, has gained strength and information. I was heartbroken at the result of no gain and only loss.
“It’s all my fault… .”
“Are you blaming yourself again?”
I turned around at the sound of a familiar voice accompanied by a refreshing breeze.
“uh… ?”
Raon’s chin trembled as he looked at the red-haired elf standing cross-legged.
“Instructor?”
Limer. The person who was thought to be dead had entered the world of his own imagination. I was so surprised that I used the title I used to call him before, not the unit commander.
“Uh, what happened? Why here… .”
“I don’t know.”
Rimmer shrugged his shoulders, saying he didn’t know.
“No, like that…” .”
“That’s not important now. I always say this, but you use your head too much. Sometimes… .”
He patted his chest and laughed.
“Think with this heart.”
“ah… .”
Raon swallowed dryly as he looked at Rimmer. When I see you say something like that, it’s not fake. It was the real Rimmer.
“Sir. I am… .”
“I saw.”
Rimmer sighed.
“It was just like you. “As always, it was Raon Sieghardt who was greedy and wanted to take everything.”
He laughed, saying he knew that would happen.
“But this time I understand.”
Rimmer laughed and pointed at himself.
“I was similar.”
He giggled, saying that he had become a complete idiot while saving Dorian and Aris.
“Sir… .”
“That title is gone now. Just call me teacher. “I’m tired of having my students be my boss.”
“Ah yes… .”
Raon nodded.
“Is this your image? “It’s still not fun.”
Rimmer shook his head, wondering how there was only a sword in the world of images.
“At your age, you should date, drink all night with friends, and go on a trip.”
He said it was a pity and clicked his tongue.
“sorry… .”
“But now I understand why.”
Rimmer chuckled as he looked at the ring of fire in the air.
“Why?”
“Your swordsmanship and auror skills are already at the transcendental level, but you have always been a grand master. “It’s understandable if the Auror is a transcendent level and his swordsmanship is lacking, but it was strange that even though he wasn’t, he couldn’t overcome the barrier of transcendence.”
He looked at Raon and narrowed his eyes playfully.
“Now I know why.”
“hmm… .”
Because Raon did not yet understand Rimmer’s words, he did not respond and only let out a low groan.
“When I first saw you, you were like a blank slate. Not in an uneducated sense, but in a human sense. Strangely enough, although the anger was deep, the affection, sadness, and joy that other children had was almost non-existent.”
He waved his hands, saying that although he had talent, he seemed emotionally broken.
“Fortunately, thanks to the gathering of good people around you, you have come to know joy, joy, and happiness, but there is one thing you lack.”
“What is that… .”
“sadness.”
Rimmer raised his index finger toward Raon.
“I didn’t know sadness among joys, sorrows and sorrows. You were cold when you were young, but you gradually became more emotional. Human emotions probably had a great influence on your growth.”
“ah… .”
It’s just as he said. Because not only human emotions but also the emotions of demon lords had an influence on his growth.
“But I still didn’t know sadness. No, I took my sadness as anger.”
Rimmer placed his hand on his head as he said those words.
“Conversation summary class. With every meeting comes parting, and those who leave always return. Accept sadness as sadness. “There is no need to force yourself to endure it by replacing it with another emotion.”
He smiled happily and stroked his head.
“Raon. You are none other than Raon Sieghardt. “Go back to the essence of what a person should be.”
As Rimmer stepped away while saying those words, his body turned into a blur.
“Master!”
“I guess time is up.”
He licked his lips as he watched his hands begin to clear like fog.
“I don’t know if I’ll see you again or not, but it was nice to have one last conversation with you.”
Rimmer nodded, asking Gwangpungdae to say hello.
“Oh, and absolutely kill that damn bastard! know? I was going to leave without saying this! I see you being bullied too! I can’t stand it… .”
He shouted to kill Sif and then disappeared. He was that way until the end.
“haha… .”
Raon laughed. When he accepted the emotions he had been trying not to feel, instead of tears, laughter came out.
I learned to accept my sadness but that it was not the time to shed tears.
Coooooo!
However, the pain in my soul that feels like my heart is being torn apart remains the same. No, it got worse than before. The pain that followed from sadness was unbearable.
As I accepted the emotions conveyed to me as is, the world of images vibrated and a golden flame burned at the edge of the cold that had frozen the heavens and earth.
The flames rose quietly like a small fire and spread out in all directions through the green wind.
Hwaaaaa!
The frozen ground melted, and the swords that had been encroached upon by frost rose into the sky again.
In the end, the golden flame that reached the sky melted the eight cold rings of fire and connected the ninth ring forged with the image of sadness.
When the ring of flame, which rotated endlessly like a wheel that never stops even on the battlefield, resonated, it let out a roar that awakened Raon’s soul.
Ooooooooo!
