Chapter 863
Sterin left Seifia and went to the Great Forest.
Unlike other elves, he did not move through the forest, but walked naturally among the dense trees and bushes as if he were a member of the forest.
“under… .”
Raon followed behind Stelin and let out a small exclamation.
‘I guess we can follow the flow of nature that way.’
Sterin, like an elf, was breathing with nature as if he had assimilated himself into this world.
It was different from other transcendents who forcibly drew the energy of nature.
‘This is how I learn again.’
Although other people might not be able to do so, he thought he could imitate it since he had a ring of fire, so he accepted Stelin’s breathing and movements with his whole body.
‘But… .’
Where are you going?
Raon lowered his eyebrows as he looked at Stelin’s back, who did not stop walking. He didn’t think he would go very far, but he went on endlessly, as if he were going to cross a forest.
-Okay, I thought they would just throw me a copy of the uneducated book, but it seems like it got annoying.
Lars furrowed his eyebrows, asking what he was doing when he couldn’t even eat dinner.
‘I thought so too.’
I also thought that Sterin would give me a book of uneducated knowledge or tell me about my uneducated skills, but that didn’t seem to be the case since I moved this far away.
-But that old man with a long ear.
‘Grandpa with earache?’
-Because he’s the grandfather of the ears. Isn’t it true that you are an old man with ears?
Lars pouted his mouth as if telling him not to talk back.
‘So anyway?’
-It has become much weaker. It seems like the time to leave is really close.
The guy nodded, wondering if he could feel it too.
‘… I know.’
Raon chewed his right lip thinly.
‘Because I can see it too.’
Like Lars, I could feel that Stelin’s body was aging just by looking at it, without having to feel it through energy.
It seemed like he wouldn’t have very long time left.
‘shit… .’
There was really no answer regarding lifespan.
I came to announce Rimmer’s death, but my heart ached because I felt like I had learned of the end of another person.
‘Can Siyan hold out?’
Stelin stopped walking when he was worried about whether Siyan, who had lost both her brother and grandfather, would be okay.
He turned around in front of a hill with sharp rocks.
“Guardian. Why here… .”
Raon tilted his head. He looked around, but was confused because he couldn’t see anything.
“Come this way.”
Stelin lowered his finger to the back of the sloping hill. It seemed to mean to look where he was pointing.
“Ah yes.”
Raon nodded and approached where Sterin was. I saw something round rising from the dark shadows behind the hill.
“Fruit?”
Three red fruits, about the size of small plums, were swaying in the evening breeze.
“This… .”
“It is said to be the fruit of Sagon.”
Stelin looked down at the Sagon fruit and smiled softly.
“It is not an elixir that holds a large amount of mana or increases elemental power, but it is very effective in stabilizing a person’s mind and strengthening the soul.”
He carefully picked the fruit and placed it in his palm.
“I also know about Sagon’s fruit. But how did this precious thing get here…? .”
Raon swallowed dry saliva as he looked at Sterin’s hand.
Sagon’s fruit was a special elixir that increased mental power, not physical strength, so it was rarer than Choi Sang-seung’s elixir.
I never imagined I would be in a corner like this.
“Both humans and elves live only looking at the top. “Sometimes good things happen when you look down.”
Stelin gave advice that felt like he was discussing life, not just about fruit.
“Of course, you seem to be doing well on your own.”
He smiled softly, as if he knew he had been watching the movements behind him.
“Oh, sorry.”
“It’s a compliment. compliment.”
Stelin shook his head, saying there was no need to apologize.
“If you had reached the transcendental level at that age, you might have been a little arrogant or lazy, but it is surprising that you are constantly looking upward. But sometimes look down too. “There may be something you can gain there.”
He gave sincere advice and held out the fruit of Sagon.
“Are you really giving this to me?”
“Hand it to your aunt and sister. “It may not make much of a difference to the unmanned person, but it will be a great help to someone who is mentally exhausted.”
Sterin placed the Sagon fruit in his hand, telling him to pass it on carefully.
“But why three… .”
“One is the cost of errands. “You eat it.”
He said it tasted good and waved his hand lightly.
-Ma, it tastes good? Let’s eat it right now! This king is hungry!
Lars licked his tongue, exclaiming that he was curious about the taste.
“… thank you.”
Raon pushed Ras away with his elbow and bowed his head to Sterin.
I couldn’t refuse it because it was an elixir for Sia and Aris.
“I thought the guardian would teach me martial arts or invite me to spar, but I didn’t expect he would give me such a big gift. “I will make sure to pass it on to you two.”
I expressed my sincere gratitude once again.
“Ha, I guess I got a little greedy while I wasn’t seeing you.”
Stelin clicked his tongue for a long time.
“yes? What is that… .”
Raon blinked at Stelin. He suddenly said that he was greedy, but he didn’t understand what he was talking about.
“I gave you three of Sagon’s fruits, but you’re asking me to teach you martial arts, so you have no conscience.”
“Oh, no! Absolutely not!”
I urgently raised my hand.
“I just wanted to say thank you… .”
“It’s a joke. You are too serious for adults. “Try to resemble your teacher’s tampering a little bit.”
Sterin chuckled, saying he could show his light side like Rimmer.
“Oh, that’s a bit…” .”
Raon shook his head resolutely.
“Khahahahaha!”
Stelin curled his lips and burst into laughter.
“okay. This can be happen.”
He clenched his chin, saying he fully understood.
“I know I have a lot to learn from you, but I don’t want to be just like the carefree and light-hearted person.”
– Well, there is no need to learn. Because your idiotic temperament is more than just ears.
Lars pointed his finger, saying there was no need to lower the madness.
‘That’s not true!’
-Is that right?
‘No matter what, I’m not any crazier than you… .’
When Raon shook his head, Sterin took out a bow and an arrow that were draped behind his back.
“good. “Then, shall we take a look at how much you’ve grown?”
Stelin hung an arrow on his bow as if he really wanted to spar with him.
“Oh, no. That’s just what I thought… .”
“You can feel it too, but my time is running out.”
He shook his head, shaking his right hand holding the arrow slightly.
“I can handle the energy of nature as much as I want, but my body cannot withstand that power. “If it wasn’t now, I wouldn’t be able to teach you.”
Stelin lifted his chin as if telling him to grab his sword quickly.
-You know, right? If it comes out like that, it would be rude to leave it out.
Lars calmed his eyes as if telling him to quickly raise his sword.
‘okay.’
Raon nodded while biting his lip.
“Then I will be grateful to learn.”
Raon pulled out his sword and aimed it at Sterin.
“It’s an honor to have you as my last sparring partner.”
Stelin said he was happy to meet the future Absolute and smiled at the corner of his wrinkled mouth.
“Then I will go.”
It seemed like Stelin was trying to teach in a sparring manner, so he moved first.
Boom!
Holding the Jecheon Sword thinly, he advanced and struck the enemy sword towards Sterin’s waist.
The pure white blade created a wild flame as if it would erase the existence of the old elf.
“You’re fast and strong.”
Stelin let out a small exclamation and turned his bow diagonally. The bow shimmering with blue light extinguished the flames of the enemy island and gently pressed down the Jecheon Sword.
Coooooo!
The Jecheon sword raised by Raon hit the ground without even reaching its target, Sterin.
‘The defense is perfect.’
He was not Seifia’s guardian for nothing, as he used only a bow to attack his sword.
‘Then properly.’
Raon narrowed his eyes and turned to Stelin’s left. From his square he stabbed a flame that seemed to glide across the blade. It was Hoecheon, a cartoonist.
Hwaaaaaaa!
At the moment when the spinning flames penetrated, Stelin disappeared like a ghost and rose up from the left, five steps away.
It felt like a self-immolation technique, not a walking technique.
“This time, try blocking my arrow.”
Stelin smiled softly and pulled the bowstring.
An arrow flashing with blue light suddenly came crashing down in front of my eyes.
Bullfight!
Raon stepped on Taehwabo and retreated to the right, but Sterin’s arrow followed him as if it had eyes and released a fierce energy wave.
Kyaaaaa!
Raon drew a frost kite and knocked away Sterin’s arrow aimed at his left chest.
Cheeeeee!
However, even though the blue arrow hit the frost kite, it did not break or bounce away, but rose again and pursued him.
‘Inspiration!’
He was an absolute archer who could freely fire arrows like a sword.
‘Then me too!’
Raon let go of the Jecheon Sword. The secret to using the Igi gear sword when the top battle is open. The Jecheon Sword spontaneously rose and blocked Stelin’s attempt to pierce his neck.
Hahaha!
The Igigear sword and the sword that touched the realm of transcendence collided, causing a powerful shock wave to explode, and a blue-black crack appeared in the air.
“Is that the sword that avenged that guy?”
Stelin nodded as if proud.
“Even though there are many groups of warriors mixed together, there is a feeling of harmony. “It is a very well-polished sword.”
He said it was great and nodded.
“Master’s teachings were also of great help.”
Raon used the Wind of Garunua, which he had learned from Rimmer, to push away Sterin’s influence.
“It contains the grandson’s military education? “Then I guess I shouldn’t lose as her own expense.”
Stelin smiled slightly and lifted his finger, and his arrow spun like a whirlpool and shot towards the Jecheon Sword.
Quaaaaaaaaaaa!
The sword and sword collided again, and a thunderous roar resounded in the night sky.
‘As expected, it looks like it can’t produce any power right now.’
Stelin’s physical condition was not good, so the energy he contained during inspiration was not that strong.
He raised his gaze, thinking that he had been overwhelmingly pushed away.
‘uh… ?’
However, Sterin’s arrow did not completely block the Jecheon Sword containing Manhwagong’s flame, but rather pushed it away.
“Isn’t it fascinating?”
Stelin smiled slightly, looking at Raon with wide eyes.
“The energy you contain is more overwhelming, but it doesn’t push you away.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Raon opened his trembling lips.
“It’s nature.”
Stelin raised his hand. The whole world seemed to shine through his wrinkled hands.
“Transcendence is the state where you can touch everything in this world. If you lack your own strength, you can borrow the energy of nature. “It’s something people like dragons can do from the beginning.”
He waved his finger, saying that in the fight of the transcendent, it is important to see how far one’s existence can reach.
“It won’t go well at first. Because it is not easy to force or borrow the energy of nature. But for you, it doesn’t take that long… uh?”
Stelin opened his mouth instead of giving advice. The wind of the great forest was gathering over Raon’s Jecheon Sword.
“It’s like this. “It’s a little difficult, but I think I get the idea.”
Raon nodded, saying he could tell with his senses.
“Well, it will happen right away?”
Stelin shook his chin as if he was dumbfounded.
“Actually, before I came here, I saw a sparring match between our matriarch and Jeonju. “Both of you used not only your own auras, but also the energy of nature. Looking at the Guardian’s movements today, I think I understand a little about it.”
Raon lowered his head, saying that he came to this realization when he saw Stelin moving with nature as his friend.
“Khahahaha!”
Stelin swept up his white hair and burst into laughter.
“It’s still as he said.”
“That guy?”
“Your teacher and my grandson.”
He looked down at Rimmer’s sword with transparent eyes.
“They say Raon always exceeds expectations, and that’s true.”
Stelin nodded, saying it was still the same.
“But it’s still very immature. “You can do a little more, right?”
“of course.”
He said that anything was possible and raised his sword.
“Then let’s try again.”
“yes!”
Raon enjoyed his all-night training with Stelin, feeling somewhat nostalgic.
* * *
As soon as Stelin finished sparring with Raon, which lasted until dawn, he returned home and sat down on the floor.
“It’s not easy.”
After only sparring and teaching for a few hours, I felt pain like muscle pain all over my body. It meant she was moving her body too much.
heyday. No, even a few years ago, I had no problem fighting all day long, but I was getting this tired, so I thought it was really time to go.
‘Still, it’s fun.’
Is it because he taught the young transcendental raised by his grandson? More than the fatigue and pain, I felt a sense of pride.
As I was trying to get a good night’s sleep, a white letter fell in front of my eyes.
“This… .”
Stelin lifted his trembling hand and opened the letter. As soon as he read the letter, he sighed, but her eyes hardened even more.
After burning the letter, Stelin left the house and headed towards the northern end of the forest.
As he climbed up the cool yellow hill, a woman wearing a golden coat turned around.
Diamond-shaped eyes that look like snakes. It was a dragon in human form.
“You’re late.”
The dragon tilted his chin in an arrogant manner.
“The sun hasn’t risen yet, so it’s time.”
Stelin clicked his tongue briefly.
“Besides, the day you were supposed to come visit wasn’t today, but four days later, right?”
“When I went back and thought about it, there was no reason to give it a long time.”
The dragon lowered his hand, saying it would be better for both parties to come to a conclusion right away.
“Are you wrong? “I think that’s a conclusion as well.”
“That’s right.”
Stelin nodded calmly.
“So what is the answer?”
“I refuse. Seifia will not stand on the dragon’s side, nor will she stay away from the Five Emperors.”
He rejected all of the dragon’s offers so as not to leave even the slightest gap.
“The current Seifia wouldn’t have the ability to protect itself?”
The dragon showed its white teeth as if threatening.
“Do you think Wu Huang would risk his life for you?”
“It has nothing to do with that. What is the point of living a miserable life, betraying trust? “Those who abandon their faith become corrupted and ultimately perish.”
Sterin shook his head, saying he did not want to live like the dark elves.
“Use threats or retaliation. “I will stop everything as long as I live.”
He straightened his back as if he didn’t have any regrets.
“It’s retaliation… .”
The dragon shook his head slightly.
“Thank goodness. Because we’re already doing it.”
“What is that… .”
When Sterin swallowed dry saliva and turned around, red-hot flames erupted from the entire forest surrounding Seifia.
Coo coo coo coo!
