Episode 891
Raon narrowed his eyes as he looked at the meadow covered in purple waves.
‘What happened?’
The area where Boduri Village is located was originally a mixture of wide grasslands and mountains. It was not as fertile as the central part of the continent, but there was enough grass to feed the livestock. Now, because of the purple waves, not even a single weed could be seen.
‘fraud….’
But it’s not just a simple scam.
The power of the dead is the pent-up grudge of the dead. I have encountered strong powers of the dead while fighting the necromancers, but the energy that now covers the plains is much more vicious than I knew.
Kwaaaaaaaah!
The problem wasn’t just the fraud covering the land. From within the ugly purple waves, grotesque monsters were constantly emerging.
Woohoo.
The Jinhon Sword also sensed the ominousness of the purple swindle and rang out a warning to be careful.
-That’s annoying.
Lars looked down at the ground and clicked his tongue.
-The deaths of one or two people wouldn’t have caused such a stench. It seems like countless people were sacrificed.
He furrowed his brow, saying, “I don’t know who that guy is, but he’s a terrible guy.”
‘I guess so.’
Raon let out a short breath as he looked at the rippling purple waves.
‘Because it’s still growing.’
The purple sea seemed to be rippling in place, but upon closer inspection, it was gradually expanding.
“Why aren’t you coming down and just staying still? Are you tired too… Huh?”
Martha was trying to tease Raon when she looked down the mountain and opened her eyes wide.
“What, what is that? That!”
She shook her chin as she looked at the purple waves that dyed the entire land.
“Purple smoke? No, is it energy? What, something like that…”
Burren also swallowed dry saliva, unable to accept the situation he was seeing.
“It smells dirty….”
Runaan frowned, holding his nose with his finger as if he could already smell the stench of fraud.
“Ugh… .”
Dorian gasped, saying he had never imagined such a situation.
“Excuse me, what is that?”
He flinched at the sight of the dimly flashing purple waves.
“It is a fraud created by concentrating the grudge of the dead.”
Raon snapped his fingers, drawing the attention of the Gwangpungdae inspectors.
“If you are exposed to fraud, your body will rot and your mind will become black and polluted. Prepare by surrounding your entire body with mana.”
After giving Gwangpungdae a moment to catch his breath, he looked down the mountain. He saw a large crowd of people gathered at the foot of the mountain he had climbed.
‘Are you from the village of Boduri?’
There’s more than I thought.
Originally, the village of Bodri was not very large, but it seemed to have grown to the size of a semi-city as lords and people who were fed up with the city’s corruption gathered there.
‘The iron fence is ahead.’
The Iron Troop Inspectors were fighting monsters in front of the purple waves to protect the people of Boardri Village.
‘Trevin… .’
A blond middle-aged man was seen standing at the forefront of the iron cavalry, striking down with a powerful sword strike. Trevin pushed the monsters away without changing at all.
‘The condition is not good.’
Trevin had become a Grand Master after the war with the North and South Alliance, but his hands were shaking as he held his sword, perhaps because he had been fighting while exposed to fraud. He seemed very tired.
But even though he was exhausted, he did not back down even once and protected the Iron Corps and the people of Boduri Village.
“I think it would be better to go down quickly.”
Mark Gotten bit his lip, thinking it might be a good idea to go down and help people.
“Gwangpungdae. Stand in front of the iron fence with all your might.”
Raon nodded and gave the order for the Gwangpungdae to charge.
“yes!”
The Gwangpungdae took a deep breath and kicked the cold, hard ground. They descended the mountain at a faster pace than when they first set out on their journey.
Gooooooo.
Raon followed the stormtroopers and scattered his energy in all directions.
‘I don’t feel anything special.’
It wouldn’t be strange to think that there is no shaman who can’t sense something, but since I’ve experienced it before, I didn’t let my guard down and focused my mind while practicing the method.
-ha….
Las shook his head as he looked at the wavy purple.
-I guess we’ll have Nadine bread for dinner in the end.
‘Is it just dinner?’
Raon shook his head as he looked at the purple sea that filled the meadow.
-uh?
‘Probably Nadine Bread until tomorrow, and even the day after.’
-What the hell!
Lars wrinkled his nose.
-Tell that bastard to come out! The King will catch him!
The guy waved his fist and said that he would beat up even the Demon King.
* * *
“Ugh… .”
Trevin beheaded the rotten werewolf that had emerged from the sea of fraud and let out a murky breath.
“There is no end.”
The purple sea rippling before my eyes was originally smaller than the stream.
However, it grew by devouring the corpses of the monsters it and its iron fist had caught, and after eating even the villagers, it grew to an unmanageable size.
As the waves grew, the number of monsters jumping out from within also increased, so even if we fought without stopping, we would continue to be pushed back.
“Oh, my lord! The right front is being pushed back!”
The Ironclad Inspector gritted his teeth as he blocked the rotten ogre’s fist.
“The left can’t hold out any longer!”
The inspector on the left also let out a murky breath, his lips trembling.
“Hold on! Hold on even if you die!”
Trevin took a deep breath and plunged his sword into the purple waves. The ring of fire that blossomed above his extended sword spun diagonally, creating a powerful explosion.
Kuwaaaaaah!
Even though it wasn’t perfect, Kang-Hwan was Kang-Hwan, so all the monsters were torn apart and the purple waves swayed greatly.
Hooooooo.
But as if it had been shocked, the purple sea filled the empty space again and surged towards him and the iron fence.
“Support will be here soon! Just hold on a little longer!”
Trevin told her to hold on and tightened his grip on his sword.
‘It must be hard.’
The wave of fraud also affected the Grand Master himself. The venom emitted by the corrupted monsters as they died was so strong that the shallow-trained swordsmen could not help but feel powerless.
However, since the people of Boduri village were not yet fully prepared, they could not abandon this front line and run away, even though it was difficult.
“If we get pushed out here, all the residents will die! Hold on till the end!”
Trevin continued firing his bullets, drawing in a breath mixed with fraud, to support the exhausted inspectors.
“Yes, inspector. We are fine… .”
An old man with gray hair approached, covering his mouth with a wet cloth. He was the village chief of Boduri, who had first asked for help.
“Please leave now. I called you, Inspector, for no reason….”
The village chief bowed his head, saying that he was truly sorry. He shook his chin as he said that he was sorry even though his cheeks and ears were rotting from being exposed to fraud.
“Don’t say that!”
Trevin shook his head vigorously.
“As Inspector Sieghardt, I cannot remain silent after seeing something like this. If you leave me behind and run away, that friend will come and scold you!”
He turned his gaze away and told the village chief to step back.
‘Yeah. I can’t show him my embarrassing side.’
He accepted Karun’s offer to enter the Gwangpungjeon, thinking that Raon was a vessel that could embrace him. He could not back down here in order to enter under Raon, who held true justice and chivalry in his heart.
Kwaaaaaaaah!
When I think of Raon, I feel a little stronger. I raise a strong ring over my sword and push away the purple waves approaching before my eyes.
Phew!
The purple waves that had been pushed back were rippling violently. Judging from the situation so far, it was a sign that a fairly strong monster was about to appear.
“uh…?”
Trevin gasped as he saw the being emerging from the waves of fraud.
‘person?’
This time, the person who appeared was holding a sword. However, his skin was pale like a zombie’s, and he didn’t seem to have any life in him.
“What is this….”
As Trevin frowned, the inspector suddenly jumped out and stabbed him with his sword.
Kyaaaaang!
Even though I blocked it, that zombie inspector was swinging his sword while treating the spirit as if it were an aura. It wasn’t strong, but the spirit it was emitting was so strong that it seemed like it would be difficult for other inspectors to fight.
‘I have to deal with this as quickly as possible.’
I completely smashed the head of the inspector zombie to prevent other inspectors from being harmed.
But now, as if it were just the beginning, the purple sea began to pour out endless rotten monsters and inspector zombies.
“Ugh… .”
The young Iron Troop Inspector who had been fighting on the right side collapsed with his face turned black.
“Soo, I can’t breathe….”
“shit!”
“My Lord… .”
The other inspectors, unable to withstand the fraud and poison, dropped their swords one by one and knelt down.
“Rain, damn it!”
“Ahhhh!”
Even the inspectors who were still able to hold out were injured while trying to protect those who had fallen and were forced to retreat.
The wires that the iron fence had barely been holding on to collapsed in an instant.
“Daeju! You can’t stop me here! You have to retreat!”
The leader of the Iron Troops, Kaman, let out a scream as he cut off the head of the inspector zombie.
“retreat….”
The moment Trevin was about to speak of retreat, a wave of fraud surged forward, injuring and covering the fallen Iron Cross inspectors.
‘ah….’
Trevin tried to extend his sword to block the wave, but he couldn’t block all of them. He saw the swords on the right side, instead of the left side, being swallowed by the wave.
I wanted to help somehow, but there was no way. If I reached out to the right now, the inspectors on the left would die.
‘Fuck!’
As if he was seeing their kaleidoscope instead, the memories of the things he had done with his subordinates came to mind before his eyes. He felt his insides swell.
“Ugh!”
It was when Trevin let out a scream in the slowing time.
Kwaaaaaaaah!
The dark night splits, and a red line is drawn, like the tail of a comet. A blade covered in bright red flames cuts through the purple waves that were about to engulf the iron fence.
Kookookookookook!
The red flames pushed back the waves of fraud and even burned the monsters that tried to burst out of it.
“That black….”
Trevin smiled at the sight of the sword of flame pushing back the sea of fraud. He turned around and called out the name he had been waiting for.
“Laon!”
* * *
“It’s been a while, Your Majesty.”
Raon bowed his head while looking at Trevin.
“But I am disappointed that you are asking for support from my family because you cannot even solve this kind of fraud.”
He smiled faintly, repeating what Trevin had said when he had come to the Aryan family to offer assistance.
“That’s not it….”
Trevin stuttered, seeming taken aback by the sudden attack.
“Let’s sort things out first and then let’s deal with the regrets later.”
As Raon snapped his fingers, brilliant lights flashed across the black sky.
Kuwaaaaaah!
These are the Gwangpungdae inspectors who set up the Gwangpungjin. The sword strikes they unleashed in one breath poured down like a meteor shower, blowing up all the monsters and inspector zombies that had sprung out from the purple sea.
But the purple sea only stopped for a moment before it began to stir again and surge towards us.
“It’s worse than I thought.”
The concentration of fraud is stronger than when seen from the mountain. It is amazing how the iron fence has held up until now.
‘I feel like there’s something in there.’
It seemed clear that something sinister was hidden in the rippling purple sea.
“It’s no use attacking with Aura. It’s like cutting water, it just rises again in an instant.”
Trevin shook his head, saying that even if he shot the ring, it would only stop the purple sea for a moment.
“I heard it was dangerous, but I didn’t know there was even a scam going on.”
Raon shook his head, asking why he didn’t tell her this part.
“It wasn’t this level of fraud when I sent a request for support to the family.”
Trevin frowned at the rippling purple waves.
“At first, it was just a small stream, and goblin-like creatures came out. But the stream gradually grew larger. Before we knew it, it had grown to this size and surrounded us.”
He bit his lip as he looked at the black, dying land.
“The people here are those who fled from the corruption of other cities and came here. I wanted to protect their livelihood, but that didn’t work out…”
Trevin clenched his fists and shook them as he said that his abilities were lacking.
“Then you can get it back from now on.”
Raon smiled faintly and turned the Jecheon Sword.
“what…?”
“There is nothing I won’t do if my new subordinate wants it.”
He smiled and shook his finger.
“This, this was my stubbornness! You don’t have to exert yourself too!”
Trevin shook his head, indicating that he should step aside for now.
“There’s no point in talking about it.”
Martha shook her head.
“That guy doesn’t listen to other people very well.”
She shook her head, telling me to give up.
“That’s right. He’s the kind of person who does what he says he’ll do.”
Burren shook his head, saying it would be better to leave it alone.
“illusion….”
Luna patted Trevin on the shoulder, saying it was nice to meet you.
“No, you guys… .”
Trevin let out a gasp of disbelief.
“Welcome to hell on your own two feet.”
Crane nodded, his eyes darkened.
“You don’t have to feel so burdened.”
Mark Gotten shook his head blandly.
“Because he thought he could do it, he made that decision.”
He raised his finger and pointed ahead.
Kuwaaaaaaaaaaaah!
The fiery light that extended from the pure white blade of the Jecheon Sword split half of the purple sea that had engulfed the grassland.
