Episode 1025
‘Ras.’
Raon called out to Las, who was yawning as if he was bored.
‘Do you see that?’
He lifted his finger slightly and pointed to the soft light blooming near Martha and Runaan’s hearts.
-You can see the beef girl and the ice cream girl are drooling because they’re having a hard time.
Las tilted his head as if to ask what he wanted to see.
‘Is it only visible to me?’
It seemed that he was the only one who could see the light rising from Martha and Runaan’s hearts.
‘Then it is highly likely that the light is related to the spirit phone.’
In the past, even if Marta and Runaan were pushed to the brink of death, such a light would not have bloomed. The effect of the newly created spirit phone was clear.
-That would be correct.
Lass nodded, saying that his guess seemed right, although he still couldn’t see him.
‘then….’
Raon licked his lips and stabbed the energy blooming in Martha and Runaan’s hearts with the scabbard of the Heavenly Sword.
“Cough!”
“Ugh… .”
Martha and Runaan were too exhausted to react, and rolled around on the floor of the training ground, their chests hit by the scabbards.
“Ahhhh!”
“it hurts….”
The two of them crouched like insects and groaned deeply.
“I’m so tired, yet you still won’t let me see you.”
“As expected, he’s the devil… .”
“I’m glad I didn’t get caught there. I really can’t do it anymore.”
The whirlwind inspectors were speechless, saying they had no idea that Marta and Runaan, who looked like they would fall over at the slightest provocation, would be beaten.
-Even the devil wouldn’t do something like that!
Lars shook his head vigorously.
-Hey, you crazy bastard! If something strange happens, you should observe it first! Where is the guy who stabs you first!
The guy wrinkled his nose, saying that even a wild boar would sniff a fruit it had never seen before.
‘no….’
Raon scratched the back of his head and turned his eyes away.
‘The comical artist and the evil swordsman fell into a state of egolessness while sparring with me, so I hit them once… .’
Akgeom-hu and Hee-geuk-je were so absorbed in their duel with themselves that they entered a state of no-self, so they thought that the other two could do the same, so they just lightly attacked them.
-Then you should have made it so that it could be blocked! It was too strong!
Lars gritted his teeth, asking why he was showing off his strength when he was weak. It seemed like he still had a special fondness for Runaan and Martha.
‘I went a little too lightly.’
I adjusted it so that the trait wouldn’t activate if it was too strong or too weak, but it seems like it would be difficult for Martha and Runaan to receive it now.
‘That’s it for today… .’
It was when I was about to put down my sword, saying that I should stop.
“yet….”
Martha got up without even shaking off the sand that was stuck on her body.
“You can do it.”
She raised her sword, telling him to continue.
“If a concubine does it….”
Runaan lifted his head, exhaling cold, white breath.
“I’ll do it too… .”
She straightened her back, biting her lip in pain.
“hmm….”
Raon narrowed his eyes as he watched Runaan and Martha preparing for battle.
‘The light blooming from the two of you has become stronger.’
As Marta and Runaan vowed to fight again, the light blooming in their hearts grew brighter than before.
‘That light must be the souls of Runaan and Martha being shown to me through their special ability to be teleported.’
If not, there was no way that only his eyes could see that light right now.
‘What should I do?’
It was clear that I had to fight those two, but it didn’t seem meaningful to simply beat them up like before.
‘Let’s think about the differences between Runaan, Martha, and the Evil Sword and the Comedy Emperor.’
Although force is force, the difference in the level of the soul is extreme.
Thinking about the explanation of the spirit phone, it seemed that the awakening did not occur due to the difference in the level of the soul, not force.
‘Is it necessary for that light to touch the level of my soul?’
The comic artist and the evil sword master are high-level transcendent beings, so they are warriors with soul levels that are even higher.
On the other hand, although Runaan and Martha were Grand Masters in terms of their level of martial arts, they were still young and their spiritual level was not that great.
It seemed that the souls of the two people were so small that they could not reach him.
‘I have a rough idea of what to do now.’
If Martha and Runaan can’t move the soul, then he should just approach it first.
“If you have the strength to stand….”
Raon pointed his finger at Runaan and Martha.
“Come at it.”
He approached the two people directly and told them to swing their swords, opening up their souls.

Hwaaaaaaaah!
Transcendent. As the level of a huge soul that rivaled even the highest level of Transcendent rose, Martha and Runaan were pushed back, sweating profusely.
“If you can’t reach it, give up here.”
If Martha and Runaan do not move of their own will, they will never be able to achieve awakening. I had to wait for them here with my soul’s level open.
“Giving up is f*cking bullshit.”
Martha chewed her lip and stepped forward. She took each step, even though her mind was being crushed by the spirit she had unleashed.
“I won’t give up either… .”
Runaan approached with her shoulders hunched and her back bent due to the physical pressure. Although it was not the posture of a prosecutor, her eyes sparkled more than anyone else’s.
“The waves are so strong that I can’t breathe even though I’m here….”
“Is it okay if I do that?”
“You’re especially violent today? I think you ate something wrong….”
The Gwangpungjeon inspectors couldn’t even breathe properly due to the pressure from Raon that was getting stronger and stronger, and could only swallow dry saliva.
Damn it.
Martha and Runaan stood in front of Raon, exhausted from the strong pressure and sweating profusely.
“What the hell!”
Martha let out a sigh, saying that with every step she took, it felt like a year had passed.
“Ugh… .”
Runaan groaned and bit her lip, seemingly unable to speak.
“We can’t stop here.”
Raon wiggled his fingers, saying that just walking was meaningless.
“Oh, I know!”
“I’m going to do it from now on… .”
Martha and Runaan brought their swords down on their heads with trembling hands.
Kyaaaaah!
Raon roughly struck the two men’s swords with the scabbard of the Jecheon Sword.
“Ugh!”
“ah….”
Martha and Runaan staggered backwards as if they were going to fall.
“That’s not swordsmanship, it’s just swinging.”
Raon shook his head firmly, saying that it was not that sword.
“Swing the swordsmanship you have built up so far with emotion and soul.”
He nodded and told me to try again.
“Hoo!”
“okay….”
Martha and Runaan seemed to have taken his advice and swung their swords again with increased concentration.
“again!”
Raon pushed Marta and Runaan away more fiercely, saying that the second sword was not enough.
Kyaaaaah!
Martha and Runaan kept getting up as if they were grasshoppers and showed off the swordsmanship they had practiced their entire lives.
Chiaaaang!
Raon licked his lips as he watched Martha and Runaan’s swords regain their natural flow.
‘I think we’re almost there.’
Martha and Runaan were drawing out their own sword techniques with their own flow, letting go of the excessive strength they had been using. I could feel that the two of them were close to awakening.
“Follow me!”
Martha rushed forward with veins in her black eyes. She approached first, as if she was being considerate of Runaan, who was standing next to her, and struck with a heavy sword strike.
“Don’t follow me. I’ll go first…”
Runaan took a deep breath and let out a burst of silvery coldness. She too, thinking of Martha, stepped forward and thrust her sword, wrapped in a cold aura.
‘It’s now.’
Laon pulled out his Heavenly Sword as he felt the light blooming from Martha and Runaan’s hearts grow so dark that it obscured his vision.
Wooooow!
He used the ring of fire as a polarity and struck down the sword of heaven containing his thoughts towards the two swords.
Paaaaaaaang!
There was a loud noise, as if souls were clashing rather than swords clashing, and the light that had been emanating from Martha and Runaan rose into the dark sky.
Woof woof woof.
Raon lowered his gaze after confirming that the magnificent light that had risen to the sky had subsided.
‘Is it done?’
Martha and Runaan were frozen in the posture they had been swinging their swords, but their aura flow was surging violently as if they had been hit by waves.
-Wh, what is it!
Lass gulped as he looked at Runaan and Martha who had stopped.
-You really succeeded?
The guy was just blowing the wind, as if he thought he would definitely fail.
‘I think so.’
Raon nodded, exhaling deeply.
-How is this?
‘Actually, I didn’t know I would succeed.’
Today I was just trying out some experiments, but thanks to Marta and Runaan’s strong will, I was able to awaken them both.
‘It seems that in order for the spirit phone to be activated, you need to have the will to fight even when you are physically and mentally exhausted.’
It was clear that as Marta and Runaan grew more tired, the light blooming from their hearts grew stronger.
“S, no way… .”
“Are you really in a state of no-mind? And both of you?”
“That’s ridiculous….”
“It was true that I could awaken others….”
The whirlwind inspectors’ chins trembled as if they had never imagined that they would actually awaken Martha and Runaan.
‘This trait is good, but….’
Raon frowned as he looked at his slightly trembling hands.
‘I’m pretty tired.’
It wasn’t an easy task for him either, as he had to match his opponent’s breathing while opening up his soul to the fullest.
‘How many people can’t you do a day? It’s not like it’s guaranteed to be a success.’
-Isn’t that obvious!
Las bared his teeth as if to ask what he was talking about.
-If you can awaken everything at will, you can create a transcendent force!
The guy shook his head, saying that once he awakened someone, they wouldn’t be able to use the spirit phone for a while.
‘Well, still… .’
Raon let out a soft smile as he watched Martha and Runaan enter Muah.
‘I’m proud.’
Seeing Marta and Runaan lean on each other and enter into Mua together filled my heart with a sense of pride.
‘Should we wait now?’
Raon stood in front of the two people, protecting Marta and Runaan, and smiled faintly.
‘I wonder how strong these guys will become when they come out.’
***
“ha….”
Martha slowly opened her eyes, letting out a low breath.
“What was I doing?”
She swallowed dryly as she looked at the sword in her hand.
“Are you awake now?”
Raon waved at Martha, who raised her head.
“Raon…?”
Martha looked up at Raon and blinked blankly.
“Ah! Now that I think about it, while sparring with you… ”
“I entered into nothingness.”
“That’s right. As I swung my sword while listening to your words, I unknowingly entered that world… .”
She nodded as if she now remembered everything.
“What did you see when you entered Mua?”
Raon asked, looking into Martha’s calm eyes.
“… I saw my mother. I felt like I was living with her again.”
Martha bit her lip deeply, saying that it had been a long time since she had been so happy that she could not help but laugh.
“I see….”
Raon let out a short sigh.
‘As expected, it was for mother.’
Martha took up her sword and fought to the end even when the other inspectors were too exhausted to stand up.
I wondered where such strength came from, but as expected, it was the will to save his mother.
“thank you….”
Martha bowed down to him, lowering her sword.
“Thanks to you, I was able to recall some good memories from a long time ago. I was able to overcome a wall.”
She shrugged her shoulders as if she was truly grateful.
“Even if you had my help, you ended up doing it.”
Raon smiled and shook his head.
“Congratulations on reaching the Intermediate Grand Master rank.”
Through this awakening, Martha broke through the lower-level wall and rose straight to the intermediate Grand Master level.
Although she still has a long way to go, she now feels like she has come a long way toward achieving her goal.
“Ugh… .”
Runaan raised his head and rubbed his eyes like a child just waking up from sleep.
“I’m back… .”
She nodded, as if she was aware that she had entered and exited a state of no-self.
“How were you?”
Raon turned his gaze to Runaan and asked.
“We fought… .”
Runaan raised his eyes, not with his usual fierce gaze, but with intelligent eyes.
“You fought? Could it be with that guy?”
“Yeah. With Syria.”
She shook her fists, saying she had won the fight against Syria, the country that had traumatized her as a child.
“I defeated him with the swordsmanship I learned so far….”
Runaan was truly relieved, even letting out a small groan.
“Well done.”
Raon smiled and nodded.
“And congratulations on becoming Grand Master.”
Just like Runan Marta, he reached the Intermediate Grand Master level, so everyone applauded and congratulated him.
“I went up…?”
Runaan blinked, as if he didn’t know that he was now at the intermediate level of Grand Master.
“When you wake up, you will feel it. Everything will be different from before in every way.”
Raon nodded, telling her to try the test tomorrow.
“huh….”
“okay.”
Runaan and Marta nodded, rolling their eyes. But from the cat-like gazes in their eyes, it seemed like they wanted to take the test right away, not tomorrow.
“Do whatever you want.”
Raon waved his hand, telling her to do as she pleased.
“Hey. Come on now.”
“huh….”
Martha and Runaan nodded to each other and walked out of the training grounds.
‘This thing called a spirit phone… .’
Raon narrowed his eyes deeply as he looked at Marta and Runaan’s backs.
‘It’s not just about awakening people, but it also seems to have a positive effect on the trauma they have.’
It’s a much more useful trait than you might think.
It was when Raon was laughing while rereading the contents of the letter.
“Your Majesty!”
“Jeonju!”
“please!”
Burren, Trevin, and Mark Gotten also ran towards him, saying they wanted to awaken.
“me too!”
“I want to become strong too!”
“No matter how hard it is, it’s okay!”
The other inspectors also bowed their heads and bowed their waists to him, saying that they would enter a state of emptiness.
“Ahhhhh… .”
“… .”
Of course, there were those who took a step back, like Dorian and Crane.
-You have a long and difficult road ahead of you!
Lars grumbled that it was going to be tough for a while.
“Just wait a minute… .”
It was when Raon waved his hand, saying that he was tired now and would do it later.
[The soul level has increased.]
[The grade of the trait <Spirit Sword (Spirit)> has increased.]
[The level of the trait <Spiritual Phone> has increased.]
Perhaps because I awakened Martha and Runaan, the reward came right away.
-Ugh… .
Lass also opened his eyes wide as if he had not expected the reward to come right away.
‘That’s the case with the spirit phone. You’re saying that the level of the mind sword will also be raised?’
Because he used the soul, he rose to the level of a spirit phone caller and even a mind swordsman.
‘If it goes on like this….’
Not only the Gwangpungjeon inspectors, but I too can become stronger.
“Hehehehe!”
Raon felt his tired body and mind being energized and he wiggled his fingers at Buren.
“Okay. Let’s get started right away.”
-We just have to make the kids stronger! Where can this guy get stronger?
Lars waved his hands, saying it was nonsense.
-This is a scam!
***
“Haaah… .”
After helping the Gwangpungjeon Inspectors train until morning, Raon returned to the annex.
‘I’m tired….’
My whole body felt heavy as if I was soaking wet from pushing the inspectors with my soul level open.
As expected, this training was difficult not only for the inspectors, but also for himself.
‘but….’
The feeling of satisfaction is on a different level from other practices.
Seeing the inspectors awaken with their own power made me feel so satisfied that I felt full even without eating.
Of course, the only ones who have succeeded so far are Martha, Runaan, and Buren.
‘I don’t think the will to fight is all that’s needed.’
Like Martha and Runaan, it seemed that only when you have the will to overcome the past can a light bloom in your heart.
-Stop whining and come inside!
Lass waved his hand toward the door of the annex.
-The restaurant is filled with delicious smells, how long are you going to just keep your nose flaring?
The guy opened his mouth wide, saying he was hungry.
‘Okay, okay. Okay.’
Raon smiled and opened the door to the annex.
As I turned to go into my room to wash up, I heard a sound like someone was fighting upstairs.
“Dad! I told you not to come into my room without permission!”
Sia was impressed by Edgar, who opened the door without knocking.
“Hey, Sia. I just wanted to eat breakfast….”
Edgar’s hands trembled at his daughter’s cool voice.
“But you have to knock first!”
“I’m sorry. From now on….”
“No, from now on, just don’t come in! Don’t eat breakfast!”
Sia shouted at him not to open the door, then closed the door and went into the room.
“Oh my! Sia! I’m sorry!”
Edgar knocked cautiously, apologizing, but Sia’s room door did not open again.
-What, what is it? Why is that innocent kid… .
Lars blinked in surprise at the unexpected sight.
“I, I don’t know… .”
Raon let out a sigh with his eyes shaking like Las.
“There is no one who treats Dad as kindly as my older sister….”
I don’t know why the two people who were so close before I left ended up like that.
“It’s come… .”
Helen came up to him and let out a heavy sigh.
-Oh, you’re here?
“What do you mean? Is your sister sick or something?”
Raon and Lass looked back at Helen at the same time and swallowed dry saliva.
“If it’s a disease, then it’s a disease. That’s a very serious… .”
Helen clenched her fists, a bead of sweat running down her forehead.
“I’m in puberty.”
“… … .”
