Episode 1009
Phew!
As if the duel between Cheonma and Glenn was over, the crimson aura that had risen and shattered the sky slowly subsided as if the curtain on the stage was being lifted.
‘grandfather!’
Raon swallowed dryly as he looked at Glenn standing under the black crack.
‘Wh, are you okay?’
Glenn first stood there, holding the Jincheon Sword upright.
Although he had no visible injuries, his body was covered in a soft, mysterious light, as if it were draped in heavenly silk, and he appeared hazy, like a being standing on the border between reality and illusion.
‘Then the Heavenly Horse… .’
After confirming that Glenn was safe, Raon turned his gaze to Cheonma.
‘blood?’
Cheonma bowed down and vomited red blood out of his red dragon mask.
“this….”
He raised his head with difficulty, holding his knees with his hands as if he was in great shock.
“Is it a soul sword? It is sharp, as expected of a sword that cuts through the soul.”
The horse licked its lips as if it was satisfied.
“Since I was cut by this sword, I will accept that the oath of the Heavenly King has been broken.”
He smiled thinly, saying that it was a sword that could even cut through the curses left behind by Tacheon.
“under?”
Raon let out a gasp as he watched Cheonma straighten his back.
‘He didn’t die, and he didn’t run away?’
Cheonma did not run away like the other Sima leaders, but withstood the sword in his place. Even if Glenn had not used his full strength, it would have been astonishing.
“It’s an amazing sword. If you were sincere, I would be in danger too.”
Cheonma nodded, saying that he felt dizzy.
“But it seems that it is not an unbreakable ignorance.”
He raised his fist, blood dripping from it.
“Because all you have to do is forge a soul thicker than your sword.”
Cheonma laughed heartily, saying that it was fortunate that he had tried it now.
‘That’s why….’
Raon chewed his lips as he looked at the proudly standing Cheonma.
‘Have you obtained the power of arrogance?’
I thought I knew why Pride had given that man powers, since he was able to win despite being soul-twisted from a direct hit by the Heart Sword.
“I’ll give it back to you as it is.”
Glenn elegantly lowered the Jincheon Sword, without a single drop of blood flowing from it.
“I too will sharpen my sword enough to cut off your soul.”
He shook his head, saying that he could win no matter when they fought.
“You won’t be here then?”
Cheonma shrugged his shoulders as if to ask if he could really do it.
“… … .”
Glenn looked at Cheonma without saying anything.
“Of course I don’t wish for such a vain thing.”
The Heavenly Horse lifted its chin high, exuding a gigantic presence.
“I want to make sure that we settle the score before you leave. With our lives on the line.”
He spat out the blood that had accumulated in his mouth, creating a deep well at the corner of his mouth.
‘Before leaving… .’
Raon looked at Glenn while listening to Cheonma’s words.
‘grandfather.’
The light that had blurred Glenn had disappeared, but he still appeared to be standing in a fog.
“Your target isn’t me, is it?”
Glenn frowned at the horse.
“Of course, I have my own wishes. But….”
Cheonma met Glenn’s cold gaze.
“I can’t move forward leaving someone like you behind.”
He shook his head as if to say that beating Glenn came first.
“Sooner or later, a place will be created for you and me to fight. I’ll see you again that day.”
Cheonma lowered his hand, saying that he would see him on another battlefield.
“soon of late?”
Glenn narrowed his eyes as he looked at the horse.
“When the time comes, you will naturally know. If you don’t want to be swept away, prepare thoroughly. Especially…”
Cheonma turned his gaze and looked behind Glenn.
“It would be good to raise that child well. He is a person whose future is more promising than his present.”
He nodded, paying attention to Raon, not Larian.
“He was definitely your grandson. His appearance and the sword were exactly the same.”
Cheonma laughed, saying that Raon and Glenn were more alike than they looked.
“hmm….”
Glenn’s frown narrowed as he listened to Cheonma’s words.
“then.”
As Cheonma raised his hand as if making a final greeting, he and the ghosts of Eden that followed him disappeared as if they had never existed in the first place.

If it weren’t for the cracked sky and deeply split ground, it would have seemed like a fantasy.
Srrrrrr.
Glenn took out the Jincheon Sword and put it back in its scabbard. Perhaps because the Heavenly Horse had disappeared, the phenomenon that had made him blurry was no longer visible.
“ha….”
Raon lowered his head, exhaling blood-tinged breath.
‘I feel dizzy.’
As I felt the fight was over, the tension began to ease and my vision began to blur.
‘I have a lot to ask… .’
-Just go to sleep.
Lars snorted and placed a cool hand on his forehead.
-You really worked hard this time.
When I heard Las’s proud voice, I couldn’t help but feel my heavy eyelids.
Raon fell into deep sleep under Las’ warm gaze.
* * *
“La, Laon!”
Evelyn reached out to Raon, who was falling, but was unable to reach him because they were too far away.
“Laon!”
Glendo stopped putting away his Jincheon Sword and ran towards Raon, stepping on the sword.
“are you okay.”
Larian shook his head as he poured pure mana into Raon’s body.
“I just passed out after using my strength to the limit.”
She shook her head, saying that her injuries were serious but not in critical condition.
“ha….”
Evelyn sighed in relief and laid down, her head buried in the ground.
“The horse has definitely gone?”
Larian raised his gaze to Glenn.
“Yeah. His energy is gone.”
Glen nodded, saying he seemed to have left the area.
“Then what about Tacheon?”
Larian narrowed his eyes as if that was more important.
“… … .”
Glenn turned his gaze and looked at the fragments of Tacheon’s mask that had been reduced to dust.
“He died. No, he died. The last swordsmanship Raon used was….”
He looked at the unconscious Raon and smiled faintly.
“Because it was a heart attack.”
Glenn stroked Raon’s hair as if he was proud.
“I think so. But….”
Larian looked at Raon and shook his chin slightly.
“It wasn’t just a simple sword, it looked similar to your sword.”
She was impressed by the similarity between Glenn’s sword and Laon’s sword.
“I felt that way too.”
Glenn smiled warmly and wiped the blood from Raon’s head.
“It looks like this guy saw my heart and copied it.”
It was so weak that it would be difficult for an ordinary person to cut it, and although he borrowed the power of the spirits, Raon’s heart sword breathed like his own.
“I can’t even express it in words how amazing it is.”
It was such a moving experience that my heart thumped as I watched my grandson follow in my footsteps, which were no exaggeration to say were his own life.
“It seems that Cheonma felt the same way.”
Larian nodded, saying that he understood what Cheonma was saying.
“I can’t even describe it in words. I’ve never seen anything like it.”
She wiped Raon’s forehead, which was dripping with red sweat, and smiled proudly.
“I broke through the net of Eden’s ghosts, killed the ghost spear, and caught Tacheon here. I’m much stronger than Raon, but I might not have been able to do it.”
Larian let out a hollow laugh, saying that it seemed like something he couldn’t do even if he was asked to do it.
“Ahem… .”
Glenn’s lips twitched as if he was happy to hear Raon’s praise even in this situation.
“Well, that’s true. It’s not something just anyone can do.”
He showed no modesty, but nodded his head vigorously in open admission.
“Like Cheonma said, Raon’s growth may determine the outcome of the war.”
Larian seemed to think so sincerely, and lightly tapped Raon’s nose.
“Keep going!”
When Larian, the leader of the same Five Emperors, sincerely praised Raon, Glenn blushed bright red and repeatedly coughed.
“But… .”
Larian raised his head as he heard Glenn cough.
“Are you okay?”
She chewed her lip slightly, as if she was most worried about Glenn, who was not injured at all.
“It’s okay. Both I and he adjusted.”
Glenn tapped the scabbard of the Jincheon Sword as if he could still fight.
“I’m sorry. It’s all my fault… .”
Evelyn pushed herself up, her trembling hands pressing against the ground.
“If I hadn’t been caught, Raon and Glenn wouldn’t have ended up like this… ”
She bowed her head to the ground, saying she was truly sorry.
“… … .”
Glenn approached Evelyn silently and locked eyes with her.
“Thank you for always standing up for Raon.”
He said thank you and grabbed Evelyn’s shoulder.
“And congratulations on your enlightenment.”
Glenn knew that Evelyn had reached Transcendence and gave her his heartfelt congratulations.
“ah….”
Evelyn’s purple eyes widened as if she had never imagined hearing Glenn’s thanks and congratulations.
“You’ve also overcome the wall. Congratulations.”
Glen nodded, taking Mark Gotten’s hand as he stood there protecting Evelyn.
“Thanks to you, Lord. I just followed the path you made for me.”
Mark Gotten shook his head, saying that it was thanks to Raon that he was able to awaken.
“Is that so? It seems Raon has a lot of luck.”
Glenn looked back at Evelyn with a soft smile.
“hmm….”
Evelyn couldn’t look at Glenn directly, so she looked away.
“You should go back home together.”
Glenn grabbed Evelyn’s shoulder and told her to come back together.
“Me, me too?”
“Yes. This war was fought from the beginning to bring you back.”
He picked Evelyn up, saying that she had been through a lot.
“Ha, Grandpa!”
Evelyn raised her head and shouted the title she had been holding back.
“Now that I’ve found out my name, I’ll make sure to call you Grandpa.”
“Oh, no, that’s fine… .”
Glenn shook his head with a puzzled look. He had said he wanted to hear his grandfather’s voice, but it was burdensome to hear it in front of him.
“Grandpa! Why are you doing that!”
Evelyn kept calling him “Grandpa” as if she wanted to be recognized.
“Ma, Matapju. Send us back to Sieghart!”
Glenn called out to Larian with an urgent look in his eyes to stop Evelyn from going wild.
“Ma, Mana… .”
Meanwhile, Larian seemed to have returned to his original personality, pulling his robe over his head and looking down.
“Uh, the teleportation device is running out of mana, so we’ll have to wait a bit.”
She lowered her head, lowering her voice to a whisper as if to say, “When was she ever so confident?”
“uh….”
Glenn looked away, his eyes trembling in confusion.
“Grandpa. Should I tell you what happened while your mana recharges?”
Evelyn smiled sinisterly as if asking when she had been sick and pushed her face toward Glenn.
“First of all, my name is not Merlin, but Evelyn. And Raon… .”
She moved her tongue quickly, spitting out blood from her mouth as if she was really going to tell everything.
“I want to see. I want to see inside…”
The hooded Larian twirled his fingers in a gloomy voice, wanting to open up Raon’s insides.
“I, I… .”
Glenn looked at Mark Gotten as if asking for help, but he was only looking at Raon, not interested in anything else, and had a faint smile on his face.
“Oh, should we start from the part where I first met Raon? First… .”
‘this….’
Glenn squeezed his eyes shut as he listened to Evelyn’s words, which felt like his eardrums were being pierced.
‘Is it loneliness?’
* * *
“Hmm….”
When Raon opened his eyes, he saw a very familiar ceiling.
‘This is my room.’
This is the ceiling of the annex. It seemed like he was transported here while he was unconscious.
“Thank goodness it wasn’t a dream… ugh!”
Raon tried to get up but froze.
‘It hurts more, dirtier.’
Although he himself had greatly increased his recovery power while sleeping thanks to the powers and characteristics of the Demon Lords, he still felt severe pain in his head and body.
“Phew.”
It was so hard to even move my body that I relaxed my arms and lay back down on the bed.
‘That must mean it was a tough fight. After all, we caught Ta-cheon.’
I was confident that I could win until the Gwisalchang, but honestly, I couldn’t even imagine catching Tacheon.
‘Of course not me, Evelyn did it all.’
If Evelyn hadn’t blocked Tacheon’s magic, she would have been the one who turned to dust and disappeared on the spot. Evelyn was the main character of this victory.
‘Still, what’s important is that we’ve erased one transcendent being.’
As Raon smiled contentedly, blue cotton candy appeared before his eyes.
-You crazy guy!
Lars looked down at himself and wrinkled the bridge of his nose.
-You are truly a crazy man!
‘Why are you suddenly like this?’
Raon tilted his head while looking up at Las.
-I’ll admit it this time. It was great!
Lars nodded in praise for Evelyn’s revenge.
‘Why are you praising me?’
Raon smirked as he watched Lass cock his chin arrogantly.
-Don’t laugh! There are very few people in the Demon World who receive the King’s approval!
Las snorted, “I know it’s glorious.”
‘Yes. Yes. Thank you.’
It was when Raon was wiggling his chin as if teasing Las.
[I defeated an opponent of extremely high rank.]
[You have been acknowledged by <Anger>.]
[I witnessed the battle of the absolutes.]
[You have accomplished a great feat!]
[All abilities….]
[New feature…]
[Trait level…]
As if they had heard what the guy said, messages came pouring in simultaneously.
-What, what… .
Lass’s chin dropped as he watched the message floating by, blocking his vision.
-Why are there so many!
‘Because you admitted it?’
Raon raised his finger and pointed to the message that <Anger> had acknowledged.
-ah….
Lars looked at the message and clenched his fist so hard it made a crunching sound.
-Ignore everything else the king said and why do you only listen to that?
The guy was screaming like he really wanted to break it.
-This is a f*cking system!
‘This is it.’
Raon nodded calmly while listening to Las’s tearing scream.
‘I finally feel like I’m back home.’
