Episode 1027
“Destruction?”
Raon frowned, placing his hands on the table.
“Even if the village collapsed, I wouldn’t use the word destruction….”
I asked back, thinking it was strange to use the word destruction in a small village, let alone a kingdom or a family.
“I don’t want to say it that way, but I have to say it because it’s truly ruined.”
Lavawin bit his lip so deeply that it left teeth marks.
“In a village where more than 200 people lived, there was not a single survivor, and all the houses and buildings were destroyed.”
He let out a heavy breath, saying that the sight could only be described as destruction.
“Did the two villages collapse in exactly the same way?”
Raon lowered his eyebrows and tapped his fingers on the table.
“Yes. Everything was rotten, as if they had both been destroyed for decades.”
“Are the two villages connected by any chance?”
“No. It’s quite a distance.”
Rabawin shook his head, saying that there were several ports and cities between the two destroyed villages.
“Then the ports in between… .”
“He’s fine. He said nothing happened.”
He frowned, saying that it didn’t even hit a big wave.
“If that’s true….”
Raon let out a short sigh as he looked at Lavawin whose face had hardened.
“So you mean it’s not a natural phenomenon?”
Seeing that the ports between the two villages were intact, it was definitely not a natural phenomenon.
“That’s right. I thought so too, so I did some research….”
Lavawin looked at himself, his fingertips trembling.
“I met a sea monster.”
“A monster?”
Raon swallowed dry saliva and leaned his upper body towards Rabawin.
“Let me explain from the beginning. I heard rumors that the same phenomenon was occurring in a village outside of our territory, so I went to check it out.”
Lavawin lowered his voice as he held his trembling right hand with his left.
“There were no dead bodies there, but the entire village was soaked in seawater. It was as if a huge tsunami had hit the village.”
He frowned as he watched the sea water rise and fall throughout the village.
“Then natural….”
“Actually, I also thought it was an artificial phenomenon, so I thought it was strange and searched the surrounding coast… .”
“no way.”
Raon swallowed dryly as he watched Lavawin open his eyes.
“Did you meet him in person?”
“yes.”
Lavawin held his head as if thinking about the time he had met the monster.
“As I was riding the blue wind and following the strange waterway that I had never seen before, that huge monster jumped out from the endless sea.”
His voice trembled as if he felt the stark difference in power.
“What kind of monster was it?”
“No, it was a wolf.”
Rabawin brought up the name of a beast that had nothing to do with the sea.
“wolf?”
“It wasn’t just any ordinary wolf. It was a being that contained the ocean in its body and soul. It was so huge that it seemed like the ocean was looking down on me.”
He groaned deeply, saying that he was a being with a soul so huge that it made him look pathetic.
“As soon as he saw me, he disappeared as if he had no interest in me, but if we had fought right then and there… .”
Lavawin frowned as if he could see the results.
“We would have been annihilated. That wolf had the aura of a transcendent being.”
His shoulders trembled as if he were still exposed to the wolf’s breath.
“Hmm….”
Raon narrowed his eyes as he looked at Rabawin, who seemed frightened.
‘A wolf that would scare even Lavawin…’
Lavawin is an experienced Grand Master. If he is so afraid, then he must not be an ordinary monster.
‘But it’s not super level, right?’
Excluding the Elder Dragon, there are almost no transcendent monsters.
At that time, Lavawin was so nervous and worried that he probably didn’t have a good judgment, so it was very likely that he felt wrong.
“Is that why you came back to ask for Alice’s help?”
Raon nodded, now realizing why Rabawin’s expression had been dark.
“That’s right. I’m too much of a pushover, but Lady Alice is more than capable of hunting that wolf. Plus, there are more pirates around… .”
Lavawin sighed and said that he had returned to his family right away because he thought it was something that needed to be dealt with as quickly as possible.
“However, I don’t know when Aris-sama’s training will end….”
He lowered his eyebrows as if he was worried about other towns and ports even at this moment.
“Then that thing… .”
Raon put down his teacup and placed his hand on the table.
“Let’s let our Gwangpungjeon take charge.”
“yes?”
Lavawin raised his eyes as if to ask what it meant.

“Ah, no. This isn’t Sieghart’s business, it’s our Pirate King’s…”
“If you think about it, the Pirate King is not an ally of Sieghart, but rather a subordinate organization of the family, just like our Gwangpungjeon.”
Now that Alice has returned to Sieghart, it would not be strange to see her power as the Pirate King as Sieghart’s military force.
“It’s only natural that we have to protect that village, and our inspectors have only been training for a month so they need some real-world experience.”
Raon shook his head, telling her not to worry.
“Ha, but I think it would be very rude….”
“This is a good opportunity to repay what I received from my aunt, so please don’t refuse.”
Instead of helping, he bowed his head and said, “Please.”
“Ugh… .”
Lavawin was flustered and let out a gasp, as he had been asked to do something instead of asking for it himself.
‘This person has changed again.’
The previous Raon had a kind but also oppressive side.
But now, he seemed to be not only a warrior, but also a person who was becoming complete.
“Okay, then I’ll take care of it.”
Rabawin bowed deeply to Alice, thanking her for her help.
***
After telling Rabawin to prepare for departure, Raon went straight into the audience room and told Glenn about Rabawin’s story.
“so….”
Glenn narrowed his eyes as he stroked the armrests of the neatly repaired throne.
“Does this mean you’re going out to sea this time?”
“yes.”
Raon nodded calmly.
“Now, there is no one who does not know that the Pirate King is Alice Sieghart. In other words, it is no exaggeration to say that the village protected by the name of the Pirate King is under the name of Sieghart.”
He pointed to the map and said that even if it wasn’t real, it looked that way to other people.
“Since two villages have already collapsed, the forces under our command may be scared and afraid. Originally, Lady Aris would have rushed out, but since she is concentrating on her training, we would like to take care of it instead.”
Raon bowed his head, saying that he would handle this matter together with Gwangpungjeon.
“Hmm… .”
Glenn looked out the window and stroked his chin.
“Is there anything that bothers you?”
“Since Lavawin said he saw it himself, that sea wolf must be the culprit. However….”
He looked at himself again and let out a low groan.
“I’m a little worried that the wolf has the aura of a transcendent being.”
Glenn frowned, saying that it could really be dangerous at that level.
-Well, the sea is so wide that there are all kinds of things in it.
Lars nodded, seeming to agree with Glenn’s thoughts.
-If you go into the deep sea, you might encounter a monster that even you would have a hard time dealing with.
The guy raised his round hand as if to scare me.
“I think you felt it wrong, Labawin, but if it is truly a transcendent level, it is welcome.”
Raon smiled, saying he was hoping for more of that.
“Because fighting that monster will lead me to higher places.”
Training at the gym is not of much help to my current self.
It would be more beneficial to go out and fight the strong.
“Well, there aren’t many people who can beat you right now.”
Glen nodded as if he had no choice.
“Okay, I understand. I will allow it.”
He waved his hand, telling me to take care on my way.
“All right.”
It was when Raon was about to leave the audience room after saying thank you.
“Keuh-hem! Wait a minute.”
Glenn raised his hand with a loud cough.
“Go, go and send a letter to me too. Don’t just send it to him.”
He rolled his eyes and asked that the letter be sent to him as well, not just to Rector.
-wow….
Lars laughed in disbelief.
-Even though I see my grandchild every day, I get jealous over a single letter. What on earth is that old man…
The guy shook his head, wondering how he had endured this nonsense until now.
“All right.”
Raon smiled and nodded. After telling Glenn that he would send him letters regularly while sailing, he left the audience room and returned to the 5th training ground where the inspectors were still training.
“You shouldn’t go out during training time without permission!”
Martha frowned and asked where she had gone while teaching him.
“Is that okay with Raon…?”
Runaan shook his head and said that the owner of this place was Raon.
“Ha, you’re nagging at Jeonju… .”
Burren rubbed his temples, not knowing where to begin teaching.
“Stop joking and come together.”
Raon called the inspectors scattered throughout the training grounds and then climbed up onto the stage.
“You probably know better than anyone that your strength and mental power have greatly improved after one month of training.”
He continued speaking, examining each of the inspectors who were emitting the same spirit as experienced inspectors.
“I think it’s time to test the time you’ve accumulated in this place.”
Raon nodded, saying that it was time to get into the real fight.
“You finally got your mission!”
Martha clenched her fists together as if she had done well.
“What is your mission this time?”
Burren had an intelligent look in his eyes, as if he had to come up with a plan first.
“I’m fine being here….”
Runaan yawned slightly, as if he didn’t want to bother going out.
“This mission is….”
Raon relayed the stories he had heard from Rabawin to the Gwangpungjeon Inspectors.
“A super, super level monster?”
“Was there something like that?”
“Okay, I guess I saw it wrong. It was far away!”
“If it’s real, can you call it a monster?”
“Whether it’s real or fake, if it’s capable of destroying an entire village, it’s not an ordinary monster… .”
The inspectors’ eyes trembled as if they were nervous at the mention of a transcendent monster.
However, they were not simply scared, but they were licking their lips as if they wanted to test their abilities in this mission.
-It seems like the kids are finally breaking out of their shells.
Las nodded, seeming to like the reactions of the whirlwind inspectors.
‘That’s right. It’s changed a lot.’
The sight of him revealing his desire to test his skills despite knowing it was dangerous was the very essence of Sieghart’s inspection.
‘Of course there are some who aren’t like that… .’
Raon let out a short sigh and turned his gaze to the right.
“Cho. Isn’t transcendence a bit like that? If you fall into the sea, you’ll be defeated before you can even use your sword….”
“Yeah. I’m not really attracted to it… .”
Crane and Dorian muttered among themselves inaudibly, as if nothing had happened.
“Stop whining and get ready.”
Martha smiled coldly as if she would kill them if they left, and put her arm around Crane and Dorian.
“Oh, no!”
“You have to go no matter what!”
Dorian and Crane forced smiles, saying they had no intention of leaving.
“Then, after you finish preparing, gather here by dawn tomorrow.”
Raon nodded while looking down at the Gwangpungjeon inspectors.
“Tomorrow dawn?”
“There are only a few hours left!”
The inspectors’ eyes widened, saying it was too fast.
“We need to leave as quickly as possible, because we never know when another town or port might be attacked.”
Raon shook his head, saying that he was about to leave right then and there.
“That’s right!”
Martha nodded, saying that she thought about it well.
“I can only sleep for 10 hours….”
Runaan turned away first, saying he had to go back quickly.
“All right!”
Burren said he would prepare well and gave the whirlwind inspectors some pointers to watch out for.
“I’ll check the supplies!”
When Dorian finally decided to leave, he ran to the warehouse to think about his own business.
“Hmm… .”
Raon looked at the noisy smokescreen and gently raised the corners of his lips.
‘They say there are a lot more powerful pirates, so it would be perfect for experiencing the actual battle of the Storm.’
Of course, the most important thing is that wolf.
‘How strong is the dog that lives in the sea.’
***
The next day.
Laon and Gwangpungjeon were able to travel through the dimensional gates one after another under the guidance of Rabawin and reach the shore where Cheongpung was anchored.
“This ship is still huge.”
Martha whistled as she looked up at the huge blue façade.
“It seems like it’s gotten bigger….”
Runaan blinked, saying that the wind seemed to have grown louder.
“That’s right. It’s wider than before thanks to the addition of black wood.”
Lavawin nodded, adding a solid blackwood to the outer hull because of the battles with pirates. He was smiling, but his eyes were squinting, perhaps because of concern for the town and the port.
“Are you ready?”
Raon looked at Lavawin while touching the black wood exterior.
“Yes. I prepared food and supplies in advance because I didn’t know when Lady Alice would come out.”
Lavawin nodded, saying that even if they left right now, they could last for more than two months.
“Then let’s leave right away.”
Raon nodded his head as he looked at Rabawin’s hardened expression.
“We don’t know when another village might be attacked. We’d better move quickly.”
“Oh, did I make it too obvious…?”
Lavawin scratched his head as if embarrassed.
“I’m sorry. And thank you.”
He thanked them for their consideration and went up the stairs first to get on board.
“let’s go.”
Raon gestured for the Gwangpungjeon inspectors to come up immediately and climbed up the Cheongpung.
‘Nothing has changed here.’
Unlike the strengthened exterior, the interior of the ship had not changed much from before. I couldn’t help but laugh as I recalled the first time I met Alice here.
“Prepare to sail!”
While he was lost in his memories, Rabawin called his crew and prepared to set sail.
“Lord Gwangpungjeon.”
He came to me after completing all the preparations for departure in 30 minutes.
“Please give instructions.”
Lavawin bowed, saying that even though it was temporary, he was still the captain.
“Let’s set sail.”
Raon nodded at Rabawin and the sailors who were looking only at him.
“Let’s set sail!”
“Let’s go!”
As Rabawin and the crew repeated their words, the large sailboat slowly began to move, its long sails rising in the center of the deck spreading out as if to cover the sea.
Phew!
The blue wind blew across the blue sea as if it was not carrying any weight.
“It will take half a day to reach the harbor we are protecting, so go in and rest.”
Lavawin bowed his head, telling them to rest in the cabin as it would be noisy for a while.
“No. I just want to see the ocean for the first time in a while.”
Raon said he would stay on deck and turned around.
“Those of you who want to rest, rest. Those of you who want to practice, practice.”
He waved his hand, telling the Gwangpungjeon inspectors to move on their own.
“Yeah. Finely… .”
As soon as he heard that, Runaan went into his cabin, saying he wanted to sleep first.
“I’m going to do some meditation.”
Burren, feeling a lack of ignorance, went to a corner of the deck and closed his eyes.
“I’ll check the supplies! They might be lacking!”
Dorian went down to the warehouse to check the supplies on the ship called Cheongpung as if it were his own. He was a guy with a really strong sense of professionalism.
“I, I’m going to take a break… .”
Crane blinked tiredly and headed toward the cabin.
“No.”
Raon raised his hand and blocked the front of the crane.
“Because you are the most lacking. Come and practice by my side.”
“Ugh… .”
Crane rolled his eyes as if he was thinking of running away, then sighed as if he had no other choice and sat down.
Woof woof woof.
As Raon was applying torture techniques by pushing heat and cold into Crane’s back, Martha approached.
“Me too, please.”
Martha nodded, asking him to teach her the torture technique as well.
“you….”
“Until that day comes, I want to become a little stronger.”
She bit her lip, saying that she wanted to somehow improve her skills before fighting the White Blood Cult Leader.
‘Your determination has become stronger.’
Martha had been thirsting for power even more since she had passed the Intermediate Grand Master level. Knowing her circumstances, I could not stop her carelessly.
“ha.”
Raon let out a short sigh and placed his hand on Martha’s back.
“It will hurt a lot.”
As she grew, she increased the intensity, pushing in the heat of the cartoonist and the coldness of Glacia.
“… … .”
Even though Martha felt pain all over her body being ripped off, she sat down and began to practice the aura without even groaning.
-It’s poisonous.
Contrary to his words, Lars looked at Martha with bitter eyes.
‘It’s poisonous. But I would have done the same thing.’
If she had been in the same situation as Martha, she would have whipped herself just as much. No, even more severely.
‘I can’t stay like this either.’
Raon leaned back on the deck, taking a quick sip of his drink.
‘I have to get stronger to help that guy.’
Martha alone could never save her mother from the White Cult Leader.
Only with the presence of a top-tier transcendent being other than oneself can one barely deal with the White Blood Cult Leader.
‘Either kill the White Blood Cult Leader or save your body…’
What matters is the achievement of the mind sword.
If the level of the Heart Sword does not increase, Martha’s mother will never be saved.
‘Focus….’
It was when Raon opened his soul’s level to enter the realm of the Heart Sword while feeling the sea breeze.
Hooooooooooo!
As soon as he revealed his soul, he felt a cool breeze as if someone was looking down at him from the end of a distant sea.
It was not a human gaze. It was an eerie sensation as if Mother Nature was looking down on me.
“This is….”
Raon hurriedly turned around and looked at the sun-drenched coastline.
Gooooooo!
At the end of the unfathomable sea, the face of a gigantic wolf emerged, seemingly intent on plowing the waves.
