Episode 1013
-You’re putting a leash on the Transcendent?
Lass looked at Raon with wide eyes.
-What the hell are you talking about?
The guy tilted his head as if to ask whose leash he was holding.
‘Now the situation has changed for the Emperor.’
Raon twisted his lips as he held Jecheongeom’s sword for the first time in a long time.
‘Because the balance was broken when Tacheon died.’
In the last war, Tacheon was killed, and the ghosts in helmets and masks he led also died in large numbers, so it would not be an exaggeration to say that Eden’s remaining strength is less than half of its original strength.
‘Before that, the black tower collapsed.’
Unlike Eden, where the Heavenly Horse is alive, the Black Tower fell into complete ruin when its sole leader, the Black Tower Lord, died.
‘There… .’
Raon lifted his finger and knocked on the window where the sunlight was streaming in.
‘One of the pillars of Sima, Seonggeomryun, is not on their side, but is neutral.’
Although Rectar and Seonggeomyeon would not side with the Emperor, they would not participate in the war with Sima either. They would never leave their neutral position.
‘In reality, it’s not the Five Emperors’ Horse, but it’s more like the Five Emperors’ Three Horses.’
Although there are some wounded among the Five Emperors’ Transcendents, except for Ogram, their wounds will eventually recover.
It was no exaggeration to say that Wu Huang now had a clear advantage over Sima Yi.
-Then what will the archangel do?
Lass looked up at the blue sky and furrowed his brow.
-Each and every one of them is a top-tier transcendent being. I hate to admit it, but there are some who have reached the level of the king.
‘Of course I remember.’
Raon let out a heavy sigh.
‘However, judging by the fact that Derus isn’t moving, he probably hasn’t summoned all the archangels yet.’
Derus held his breath and gathered his strength. Considering his perfectionist personality, it was clear that he had time left.
-Even if it takes time to summon, he will eventually summon other archangels as well.
Las clicked his tongue, saying that there was such desire in Derus’ eyes.
‘I know. So I have a plan in mind.’
Raon waved his hand, telling her not to worry.
-What is that method?
‘It’s a secret for now. You’ll probably find out soon enough.’
-Why, I don’t know why, but when I heard that you had a method, I suddenly got goosebumps.
Lass shrugged his shoulders, saying it didn’t feel good to have his reward ripped off.
‘You’re quick-witted.’
Raon looked at Las and smacked his lips.
-Huh?
‘It’s nothing.’
I waved my hand and looked out the window where the warmth was starting to go down again.
‘Anyway, the forces that were watching the situation between the Five Emperors will now have to decide on a path. Most of them will crawl to us.’
I narrowed my eyes at the clear, blue sky that looked like the ocean.
-But why do you want to hold the leash?
‘You might miss the player. You have to prepare in advance.’
Raon tied a letter to the leg of a black swallow that he had received in advance and sent it out the window.
Paaaaaaa!
The swallow seemed to have already decided on its path and soared high into the sky, heading south.
-Now I understand what you mean.
Lars nodded calmly, looking at the swallow’s tail.
‘But before that….’
Raon licked his lips as he looked at the place where the five-armed sword was.
‘Should we check our children’s leashes first?’
***
Kyaaaaah!
Burren and Mark Gotten clashed swords and then retreated to opposite sides.
“This is ridiculous.”
Burren let out a hollow laugh as he looked at the trembling sword blade.
“He reached the rank of Grand Master later than us, but I never thought he would reach the same level as us….”
He expressed his congratulations with a look of admiration and surprise.
“Thanks to the Lord Jeonju’s teachings.”
Mark Gotten nodded blandly, leaning his sword toward the ground.
“I was able to get to where I am now because He told me it was not too late.”
He held on to Do-byeong tightly, saying that he didn’t give up thanks to Raon.
“Flowers that bloom in hardship are beautiful.”
Burren applauded again, congratulating him.
“If you’re done, come out!”
Martha pushed Burren away and stood in front of Mark Gotten.
“Sir, you have to fight me too. I won’t treat you any differently from Burren.”
She waved her hands away like an alley thug, saying, “Let’s stick together properly.”
“good night!”

Mark Gotten nodded as if to say, “Come on, you can!” and blocked Martha’s sword strike from the front.
Taaaaang!
The clash between the two Grand Masters sent a powerful wave of aura shooting out into the air above the five-armed formation.
“Next time I… .”
Runaan slowly raised his hand as if he wanted to spar with Mark Gotten.
“Whoaam!”
Crane let out a long yawn as he watched Mark Gotten and Martha spar.
“It’s peaceful. The Lord is not here. It can’t be this comfortable.”
He leaned back against the tree, saying he didn’t need to be noticed.
“You’re comfortable because the Lord isn’t here?”
Dorian rolled his eyes as if to ask what was going on.
“If the Lord is here, you can train with all your might and still be able to tell.”
The crane snorted as it lifted the tree.
“Because that guy works so hard. I feel like I’m having fun.”
He shook his head, saying that he hated that feeling so much.
“That’s good.”
Trevin waved his finger at Mark Gotten as he looked at Crane and Dorian.
“People need to feel that they are lacking in order to develop.”
He frowned, saying that he couldn’t practice well without Raon.
“That’s because it hasn’t been long since Trevin came under our master’s command!”
The crane waved its hands vigorously.
“It’s not like they just give you a hint! It’s also common for them to suddenly show up and ask you to spar, and then just beat you up!”
He let out a ragged breath as if vomiting, saying that Laon’s training was even more brutal than Buren’s or Martha’s training.
“I wish they would stop doing those damn concentration drills.”
“That’s right. If I do that, I’ll get a bone disease and die. My body won’t move.”
“I hate sparring with the master. I can’t even land a single hit and I just get hit. What fun is that?”
“The intensity of the training is getting stronger. I don’t feel like I’ve gotten stronger.”
“Isn’t the Lord training us to defeat us?”
The inspectors sympathized with Crane’s words and came up to him and nodded their heads wildly.
“… … .”
However, Dorian closed his mouth and trembled his eyes as if he felt something.
“You all know it too!”
The crane stomped its feet hard as it watched the inspectors approaching.
“I really don’t know! Monsters don’t know our feelings!”
He gnashed his teeth at people like Burren, Martha, and Runaan, who did not know their own suffering.
“It’s true that Raon-nim’s training has made us stronger. But we need to do things differently now. Sparring every day, concentration training every day. It’s boring and not fun!”
Crane snorted, calling it the repetition of Raon.
“Dorian. Why are you keeping your mouth shut? You have your complaints too. Speak up.”
He patted Dorian on the shoulder and told him to vent his pent-up frustrations.
“Ugh.”
Dorian lifted the hand that had been covering his mouth and pointed to the back of the crane.
“S, no way… .”
Crane swallowed dryly, sensing fear in Dorian’s trembling fingers.
“Are you behind me?”
“Ugh… .”
Dorian nodded, sobbing.
“Ahaha… .”
The crane looked back, its whole body trembling like a freshwater fish on a skewer.
Raon, his red eyes gleaming, walked out from behind the tree he had been leaning against.
“Uh, uh, Your Majesty! When did you come?”
Crane forced a smile, tensing every muscle in his face.
“now.”
Raon nodded calmly as if he hadn’t heard anything and headed towards the stage.
“What, what? Didn’t you hear?”
I licked my lips as I watched Raon’s back being raised to the platform by the crane.
“I, I think so?”
“The Lord arrived just as we were finishing our speech.”
“Well, that’s a relief… .”
The other inspectors breathed a sigh of relief, muttering that they had barely survived.
“I almost died and came back to life.”
In the meantime, Crane wiped the cold sweat that was running down his forehead like rain, as if he had been to hell.
“eww….”
But Dorian, who knew Raon best, narrowed his eyes as if he could see Crane’s future.
Percussion.
As Raon stood at the end of the podium, the inspectors of the Gwangpungjeon, each of whom was doing something different, gathered in front of him and took a still stance.
“Have you been taking care of your personal hygiene while I was away?”
Raon lowered his red gaze and met the eyes of the Gwangpungjeon inspectors.
“yes!”
The whirlwind of inspections all gave the same answer without wavering, as if they were one person.
“Since the vacation is over, everyone participated in training from dawn.”
Burren reported that all the inspectors were focused on their training without any unusual circumstances.
“Everyone got used to it, so now they practice on their own without being told to do it.”
Martha smiled brightly as if she found it strange.
“Only one person is late….”
Runaan nodded, saying that there were fewer sentient beings.
“That perception is you!”
Martha yelled at Runaan as if she was incredulous.
“Didn’t I say it wasn’t me?”
“But why are you talking like it’s someone else’s business!”
She ground her teeth, telling him to come to his senses.
“hmm….”
Raon left Runaan and Martha, who had started fighting, and looked back at the Gwangpungjeon Inspectors.
“It’s clear that everyone has been practicing diligently. You’ve worked hard. However… .”
Raon praised her and then gave her a sharp look.
“It seems like the results of my training aren’t coming out properly.”
I shook my head, feeling the level of powerlessness of the inspectors, which had not changed for a long time.
“Well, that’s….”
“Cultivation doesn’t mean you can become strong overnight!”
“Yeah. I need time….”
Burren, Martha, and Runaan sighed, saying that they had passed the point where it was immediately obvious that they were putting in effort.
“Familiarity is a scary thing.”
Raon tapped the scabbard of the Jecheon Sword as if it were a habit.
“Once you adapt to the difficult training that your body and mind have undergone, there isn’t much you can gain from it.”
Swordsmanship is perfected through repetition, but physical and mental strength cannot be developed through habitual effort.
“To be honest, you guys are strong.”
Raon lowered his hand toward the Gwangpungjeon inspectors.
“You have a body, mind, and swordsmanship that are stronger than ever, and you have a lot of practical experience, so you won’t lose to an opponent of the same level.”
With concentration training to strengthen their mental strength, hands-on training to strengthen their bodies, and sparring to gain practical experience, it would not be strange to say that the Gwangpungjeon was the strongest single armed force.
“But you have some shortcomings.”
Raon raised his finger and pointed to his dantian.
“Come.”
The Gwangpungjeon Inspectors have decent auras, but because they are still young, they often fall behind in the quantity and quality of their auras when compared to opponents of the same level.
“So I’ve been thinking of a new training method. This is….”
As soon as Raon heard the word ‘new’, he looked at Crane, who was shaking his shoulder, and smiled coldly.
“You’ll never get bored.”
“uh….”
Crane’s face turned pale as he realized that Raon had heard everything he had said.
“At first… .”
Raon twirled his fingers as if he was thinking about something.
“Ugh… .”
The crane walked forward as if it sensed its fate.
“Let’s start with Martha.”
But Raon reached out to Martha first, not Crane.
“Not a crane?”
Martha tilted her head as if wondering what was going on.
“Yeah. You first.”
Raon smiled and went down to Martha.
“Sit down and look ahead.”
“okay.”
Martha gave her back, trusting herself completely.
Woohoo.
Raon concentrated the heat of the cartoonist and the cold of Glacia on his fingertips and pushed them into Martha’s mana circuit.
“Ugh!”
Martha lifted her trembling eyes, feeling excruciating pain from the sudden Auror attack.
“This training is to push out the aura I just injected into you with your aura.”
Raon smiled faintly as he continued to push his aura into Martha’s mana circuit, whose shoulders were shaking in pain.
‘I didn’t know I would use this for training.’
Originally, this method was a torture method of extracting information from the enemy.
But after hearing Crane say that the training was boring, he tried a new Auror training method.
‘Not bad for an impromptu workout.’
Unlike when she was being tortured, Martha could resist with her own aura, so the quality and density of her aura would grow stronger. It was a similar effect to muscles becoming stronger after being destroyed.
‘If I can endure this training to the end…’
It may have an effect greater than absorbing an entire potion of the highest grade.
No one can absorb all of the medicinal properties of an elixir by taking it.
However, if you endure your training, you will be able to obtain an aura stronger than that of someone who has absorbed all of the highest-grade elixirs.
‘of course….’
Raon snickered as he looked at Martha, whose face had turned bright red.
‘It won’t be easy, though.’
This training is one of the most difficult trainings I have ever done, as it requires you to constantly practice the O-Rang method while enduring excruciating pain. It is something that no one with a healthy mind would ever be able to endure.
“Ugh… .”
Martha glared at Crane, her teeth grinding in excruciating pain. Her eyes were filled with anger, as if she thought he was causing her such pain because of his words.
“Then next… .”
Raon raised his hand to choose the next person.
“I….”
“Burren.”
Laon ignored the crane coming forward and called Burren to push the auror in just like Martha.
“Ahhhh… .”
Burren also glared at Crane, chewing his lips in unbearable pain.
“Next Runaan.”
“Okay, just a moment!”
The crane leapt forward, pushing past Runaan.
“Please! Please start with me! I beg you!”
He rubbed his hands together like a fly, as if begging for help.
“No way.”
Raon shook his head as he felt the cold gazes of the people heading towards the crane.
“This training was created thanks to you. You should receive it last.”
He also injected the coldness of Manhwagong and Glacia into Runaan’s back as he approached her, saying that he would take good care of her.
“Ugh… .”
Even Runaan, who usually had a mild reaction, strained his eyes in extreme pain and looked up at the crane.
“Ahhh! Stop!”
Crane banged his head on the ground, screaming for help.
-The King has met many demons, but… .
Lars stuck out his tongue as if he was dumbfounded.
-You are the first person I’ve seen who kills people like you! You bastard who is like the sun!
‘Is the sun a compliment in this world?’
Raon nodded, saying he was grateful for the compliment.
-That’s not a compliment, that’s an insult!
***
A week later.
The inspectors of the Gwangpungjeon overcame the aura of the Manhwagong and Glacia that Raon had pushed in and made it their own.
Raon nodded slightly as he watched the inspectors concentrating and practicing their skills.
‘You’re adapting faster than I thought.’
I thought it would take a month, but the inspectors overcame their aura much faster than expected.
‘The achievements also exceeded my expectations.’
It started as training to increase the auror level of the inspectors, and additionally gave them resistance to heat and cold.
It seemed like the effects of all the training I had been doing had a combined effect.
‘of course….’
Raon smirked as he felt the murderous intent of the crane firing auras at the front and the inspectors glaring at the back of his head as if they were going to kill him.
‘He must be dying.’
The inspectors were swearing at him with their eyes, as if they really thought this training was made for cranes.
It seemed like he would throw a fist of rage right away if he disappeared.
-No matter how much I think about it, your enemies are pitiful.
Lass put his hands together and said that he would now pray for the repose of his soul.
‘There’s no need to pray for their souls. They’re all worthless people.’
As Raon shook his head coolly, a pure white bird descended from the sky in front of him. It had a red dot engraved on its forehead, and it had a mysterious aura like clouds hanging over a mountain.
“hmm….”
Raon took the white paper tied to the bird’s leg and unfolded it.
‘You’re finally here.’
The letter was written in flowing handwriting, saying that it was okay to visit at any time.
“stop.”
When Raon gestured to retrieve the aura, the Gwangpungjeon Inspectors raised their heads with tired eyes.
“It’s over already? You can still do it!”
Martha gasped for breath, holding her knees.
“Yeah. I’m starting to get the hang of it now….”
Burren also smacked his lips as if he was sorry.
“I’ve gotten used to the fire… .”
Runaan nodded with a blush on his face, as if he had adapted to the heat of the comic book store.
“A new mission is coming. Get ready.”
Raon brushed off the dust from his clothes and straightened his messy hair.
“Mission? There won’t be any missions for a while?”
Trevin narrowed his eyes as he looked at the white paper.
“It won’t come down from above, I will make a proposal to the Lord.”
After Raon wrote in a letter that he would be there soon, he tied it around the white bird’s leg.
“What kind of mission do you propose…?”
Dorian swallowed dryly, as if he was afraid.
“The two remaining Shinju Oryeong.”
Raon smiled coolly as he watched the two streaks of clouds sinking before the magnificent sun.
“We need to bring the comedian and the evil swordsman to him.”
