Episode 1042
“Are you saying that you are the former Holy Sword Master just now?”
Raon gulped as he looked at Rectar, who had brought up the name of the previous Holy Sword Master.
“Don’t you know that?”
Rector emptied his glass with a calm look in his eyes.
“The only people who can handle Sima Yi’s leaders one-on-one are the King of the North and the previous Holy Sword Master.”
He slowly turned his gaze away as if he knew better.
“Of course, it would be different if the reclusive Sword Emperor and the Former King showed up, but it’s been a long time since those two disappeared.”
Rector shook his head as if to tell me not to get my hopes up.
“What were the Derus and the White Blood Cult Leader like that you saw in person?”
Raon clasped his hands together, asking for an explanation of the two’s powers.
“The blood of the White Blood Cult Leader was terrifyingly large and stable. It seemed as if he had made all of the power of the Wild King his own and ascended to a higher level.”
Rectar let out a heavy sigh, thinking that even if he fought with all his might, he would not be able to defeat the White Blood Cult Leader.
“And Derus Robert… .”
He frowned, placing his finger on his forehead.
“It wasn’t read at all. It was clear that he had reached a level where he could transcend, although not as much as Glenn.
Lektar poured the drink with trembling hands, saying that Derus was in a completely different dimension.
“I don’t know about Cheonma because he didn’t come to the meeting, but he’s probably higher than Delus, but not lower.”
He shook his head, saying that among Cheonma, Delus, and the White Blood Cult Leader, none of them were easy.
“okay….”
Raon chewed his lips as he looked at the empty plate.
‘In terms of numbers, the Five Emperors are far ahead, but Sima has more top-tier transcendentalers who can change the course of war.’
After starting the war with the White Blood Cult, even if Glenn were to deal with the Heavenly Horse, Delus Robert would remain. Delus had enough power to overwhelm King Recross, so the people who remained would never be able to stop him.
‘Because Ogram and Chamber haven’t fully recovered from their injuries.’
If the King of the Night and the Great Wizard of the Movie were in good health, they could have bought some time, but right now, the two of them were not in a state where they could use all of their original power. It was clear that even Delus’s sword would not be able to withstand it.
‘If Delus and Cheonma give up their support and counterattack when we attack the White Blood Cult…’
Three of the five emperors will fly away.
Even if Glenn were to stop the Heavenly Horse through teleportation, Delus would move and destroy Owen and the Magic Tower, and kill Ogram, who would be alone.
‘If it were the Derus I know, it would definitely move like that.’
Derus Robert is not the type of person to support an alliance. Rather, it seems he would rather throw it out as bait to achieve his own goals.
‘In particular, I will definitely try to kill the King of Night.’
The moment the White Blood Cult Leader dies, her curse will disappear, and the Wild King will be able to regain his original strength. This is something that Derus does not want, so it is clear that he will target Ogram first.
‘Then if I put the King of Night next to my grandfather… No. It could be even more dangerous if I receive a combined attack from Delus and the Heavenly Demon.’
Since Delus can move through space using the power of the Celestials, it was difficult and complicated to devise strategies.
‘And if even the Archangel moves…’
This is nothing short of a disaster.
Delus Robert did not actively move the archangels, including Uriel, as if he was waiting for the right time, but if even one of them showed up, the problem would become much bigger.
‘Attacking can actually be detrimental.’
My jaw clenched at the thought that all the work I had prepared could be in vain.
“It’s just like Grandpa said.”
Raon let out a sigh as if the ground was collapsing.
“There is no one else but him.”
I thought about it in many ways, but apart from the previous Holy Sword Master, it seemed like no one could stop Delus.
“Yes. Since I saw Delus and the White Blood Cult Leader in person, I couldn’t help but think that I had to go find the Black Night Sword God.”
Rektar nodded, saying that he wanted to stop Derus in some way.
“What you said you were looking for earlier….”
Raon narrowed his eyes as he looked at Rectar.
“Does that mean you met the Black Night Sword God?”
“okay.”
“Yes,” Rektar answered, raising his glass.
“At first, I thought he was around the Holy Land of the Holy Sword, but he left a long time ago. It took quite a while for me to find Darkhan.”
He downed his drink in one gulp, saying that he had barely found Darkhan through the connections he had made while traveling.
“But persuasion didn’t work.”
Rector tightened his grip on his goblet and twisted his lips.
“He said he didn’t want to hear about my sword because it wasn’t fun.”
He snorted, saying that he was not making any sense at all.
-It looks like you’re still crazy about swords.
Las clicked his tongue, saying that the appearance of the Black Night Sword God was obvious.
-Well, he’s the one who gouged out his own eyes to climb higher.
The guy stuck his tongue out, saying it was a scary obsession.
“It’s not fun….”
Raon shook his head, tapping the table with his fingers.
‘Should I go?’
Dark Night Swordsman Darkan’s biggest goal is to duel Glenn, but he also has great interest in himself. If he goes in person, there may be a chance of communication.
“Where is the Black Night Sword God now?”
“It was in the Kingdom of Oscott. It was easy to find because it was near the Holy Land.”
Rectar sighed as he mentioned the name of the Kingdom of Oscott.
“Oscot?”

Raon opened his eyes wide. He was embarrassed by the name of the kingdom that was most unsuitable for Darkhan, the Black Night Swordsman.
“Why are you there…?”
“Even if I told you what he was doing, you wouldn’t believe me.”
Rector shook his head, saying that it didn’t seem like it could be explained.
“Then let’s go.”
Raon clenched his right hand into a fist. It seemed better to make a change by doing something even a little bit than doing nothing and relying on luck.
“It could be dangerous. Darkhan is not in his right mind right now.”
“If you don’t take risks, opportunities won’t come. And…”
Raon smiled faintly and took Rector’s hand.
“If I get into danger, Grandpa will protect me.”
“Hmm….”
Rector bit his lip, looking at his hands with trembling eyes.
“Of course! I will protect you even if I die right there!”
He nodded confidently as if to tell me not to worry.
-Wow… .
Lars let out a gasp of disbelief.
-This son of a bitch is now possessing even my close friend… .
The guy shook his head, saying he was becoming more and more like a ghost.
“Then are you going to go right away?”
“No, it takes some time.”
Raon smiled coolly as he looked out the darkened window.
“I need to take care of my kids.”
***
Hooooooooooo!
The sound of the sword wind piercing the dawn air echoed. Even though the sun had not yet risen, the swordsmen of the 5th Martial Arts Field were practicing their swordsmanship with heightened concentration.
“5 minute break!”
Martha, who was in charge of the dawn practice, raised her hand and signaled a brief rest.
“I’ll try a little more.”
“I’ll give up my break time too!”
The inspectors swung their swords and practiced martial arts without taking any breaks.
“Why are you guys so enthusiastic?”
Martha frowned, her sword slung over her shoulder.
“It wasn’t like this even when Raon was training me.”
She shook her head, saying she didn’t understand.
“You idiot, you idiot…?”
Runaan looked up at Martha with fierce eyes.
“Why, why? It’s because of you.”
Burren licked his lips, holding his sword with both hands.
“The ones we have to fight this time are the White Blood Cult! They are the enemies of the leader!”
“I have to become stronger even if it means saving time!”
Yua and Julius nodded at the same time, saying that it was only natural that they should practice as best as they could.
“Well, it’s scary, but I have to do what I can….”
Dorian’s hands were trembling as if a war had already begun, but his training did not stop.
“I can do anything for you, Martha! This time, I will behead the apostle….”
It was when Crane was sticking his tongue out to flatter Martha.
“That’s great. You can do anything.”
Raon smiled brightly as he entered the training ground.
“Excuse me, Lord Jeon?”
“You must be tired. Did you just come out?”
“Did you have a good trip?”
The Gwangpungjeon inspectors came running with smiles on their faces, happy to see Raon again after a long time.
“Thanks to a cute informant, I found the location of the White Blood Cult headquarters.”
Raon briefly explained to the Gwangpungjeon inspectors what had happened so far.
“I thought that new training was needed because it seemed like this war would take place at sea… .”
He smiled brightly as he watched the crane tremble with anxiety.
“I’m glad you said you could do anything.”
Raon patted Crane on the shoulder and said thank you.
“Ugh!”
“This, this… .”
“C.Rain.”
“That damn mouth is real!”
The Gwangpungjeon inspectors felt ominous about their own words and glared at the crane, gritting their teeth.
“No, you guys said something similar too… .”
Crane sniffled, looking at his colleagues.
“You don’t have to worry too much. It’s not like I’m making you do hard work, it’s just training in the ocean. In a way, it could be considered a vacation.”
Raon waved his finger at the angry Gwangpungjeon inspectors.
“Bar, the sea?”
“A vacation… .”
“Really?”
The Gwangpungjeon inspectors glared in disbelief.
“As I said, the war against the White Blood Cult will take place at sea. So we must adapt to the sea.”
He said with a faint smile that it was not a difficult or hard task, but just swinging a sword in the sea.
“Then it’s okay!”
The crane raised its hand as if it had come to life.
“The sea nearby is clean and warm. It wouldn’t be bad for training!”
He let out a sigh of relief, as if all his worries had gone away.
“It’s been a while since I fought at sea, so I need to adapt.”
Burren nodded, saying that it wasn’t a bad idea.
“Yeah. When I went out on a mission, I couldn’t train properly because of the stares from other people.”
Trevin also said that was a good idea and tightened his grip on his sword.
“The concubine… .”
Lunan narrowed his eyes at Marta, seeming worried about the bright atmosphere.
“are you okay?”
“Of course it’s okay. Since you’ve been training hard, it might actually be helpful to loosen things up a bit.”
Martha nodded, saying that since it was Laon’s training, it must have meaning.
“Then everyone agrees.”
Raon opened his eyes wide as he looked at the smiling Gwangpungjeon inspectors.
“Let’s go right away.”
***
Hooooooooooooo!
The northern seas, where cold winds blow as if tearing flesh and piercing bones, and where waves surge up like icebreakers, splitting the frozen sea.
On the most dangerous sea called the North Sea, the stormtroopers stood wearing only swimsuits.
“What, what is this?”
The crane looked out at the violently shaking sea, his lips trembling with fear.
“You said it was a vacation! This is hell!”
He shook his chin, saying he thought he was going to freeze to death.
“I got fooled again….”
Burren shook his head, rubbing his arms, which were swollen from the cold.
“I told you not to trust that crazy guy!”
He shouted at Raon, calling him a crazy person, as if he had forgotten that he was supposed to call him Jeonju.
“Am I good?”
Instead of his usual fierceness, Runaan was warming up and showing off his energy. It seemed like he could withstand this level of cold, since he was using his cold aura.
“Somehow, the devil’s laughter was heard in the Lord Jeonju’s mind….”
Dorian lifted his chin, saying that he had foreseen this situation from the moment he saw it in his mind’s eye.
“Damn it! I’ll never trust that guy again!”
“It’s this cold on the ocean, you’ll freeze if you go inside!”
“If you go a little to the side from here, you’ll find Ha-bun-seong! It’s just the North Sea!”
The inspectors were so frightened that they almost shed tears just by looking at the sea.
Paaaaang!
While everyone was shivering from the cold, Martha jumped without hesitation and jumped into the sea of floating ice.
“There’s no time! Come in quickly!”
She, too, could not quite endure the northern cold, so she motioned for me to come in, her lips trembling.
“huh!”
Runaan dived into the sea even more coolly than Martha.
“Just right!”
She gave the inspectors a thumbs-up, as if to say that inside was better.
“Kuaaaah!”
Burren screamed and jumped into the sea. He too seemed to be having a hard time holding back, panting and his eyes fluttering.
“I don’t know!”
“I’m going too!”
“Eww!”
The Gwangpungjeon inspectors, unable to bear seeing their colleagues jump in one by one, all jumped into the sea together.
-Hoo!
Lars whistled in surprise.
-In the past, I wouldn’t have moved until you pushed me in, but everyone has changed.
‘Because we’re family now.’
Raon smiled faintly as he looked at the inspectors who had drawn their swords while shaking their teeth.
‘I’m trying to become strong because I want to help Martha.’
The sea is now permeated with the cold air of Glacia that he had placed there. It must be much colder than the normal North Sea, but the inspectors who endured it for Martha were admirable.
“Okay, then everyone dive in and practice your swordsmanship underwater.”
Raon clapped his hands, saying, “Let’s start.”
“Okay, let’s dive in?”
“Not here?”
“Oh, you’re crazy… .”
The inspectors’ eyes shook as if they were going to pop out, as if they had not known they would be made to dive.
“Yeah. If you go in and come out without swinging one of your sword techniques….”
Raon lifted the scabbard of Jecheongeom.
“It would be better to wait.”
He laughed evilly, saying he would hit me in the head.
“It starts now. Three, two, one.”
As soon as Raon shouted out the task, all the inspectors who had their heads sticking out went into the sea.
“Okay, wait a minute. Get ready… Keuk!”
He grabbed the crane’s nose with his finger and hit it on the head as it prepared to go.
“It hurts more, it hurts so much!”
The crane went into the sea, screaming and clutching its head.
“Hmm… .”
As Raon was licking his lips and fiddling with his scabbard, the water began to ripple and Dorian jumped out.
“Ugh! Ugh! Wait a minute… .”
“again.”
Raon twisted his lips and hit Dorian on the head with his fist.
“Eww!”
Dorian screamed and went back into the sea.
“This isn’t training, this is torture… kekeke!”
“Wait a minute! There’s water in my nose… ugh!”
The inspectors came up, making excuses, but Raon did not spare them and continued to hit their heads.
-under….
Lars let out a gasp of disbelief.
-Isn’t this just whack-a-mole coming out of a hole?
The guy trembled, saying that he was the only one having fun and that it was torture for the inspectors.
‘no.’
Raon shook his head calmly.
‘It’s a training that kills three birds with one stone: it increases lung capacity, trains swordsmanship, and increases resistance to the sea and cold.’
-Erase the smile on your lips and say something like that!
Lass ground his teeth, saying that even the Celestials don’t torture people like this.
‘hmm….’
Raon raised his hand, lowered the corners of his lips, and looked at the sea right in front of him.
Phew.
Unlike the others, Martha held back and swung her sword without even coming up once.
‘… … .’
Raon clenched his fists as he felt the burning will blooming in Martha’s eyes.
‘Somehow… .’
I have to convince the Holy Sword Master.
***
“There’s a Black Night Sword God here?”
Raon let out a sigh as he looked around the splendid view of the Oscott Kingdom, which seemed to have been swept with money.
‘It doesn’t match at all?’
It was surprising that Darkhan, the Dark Night Swordsman who seemed like he would only swing his sword in quiet places, was staying in the kingdom of Oscott, which was full of entertainment.
-Why? What is this place?
Lars nodded as if asking for an explanation.
‘This is not a normal kingdom. The king is a gambler, and the entire capital is filled with gambling houses, alcohol, and drugs.’
Oscott was not a lawless zone that was completely uncontrollable, but it was a land ruled by money and violence, not humanity and conscience.
‘The Dark Night Swordsman Darkhan was only interested in swords, not money, gambling, or entertainment. I don’t understand why he’s here.’
If Darkhan had wanted to, he could easily devour this kingdom, but it was strange that the sword-crazy man would spend time in a place like this.
“Yeah. He’s here.”
Rector took the lead as if telling them to follow, and went up the royal road where red and blue lights were flashing.
‘What are you doing?’
Darkhan followed behind Rektar, taking a quick sip of his drink, not knowing whether he was addicted to alcohol, gambling, or women.
However, he began to move away from the heart of the capital, which was full of gambling establishments and bars, and toward the outskirts.
The bright lights and the thick smell of money disappeared, and a pleasant stench and filth began to creep in.
“grandfather?”
Raon opened his eyes wide and called out to Rector as he entered the narrow, dark alley.
“Is there really a Black Night Sword God here?”
“Isn’t it over there?”
Rektar raised his hand, saying that they were all there. At the tip of his finger, he could see a man kneeling before an old gambling house.
“Please give me just a penny… .”
The man, his eyes covered by a black blindfold, raised his trembling hands with a weak voice.
“This is f*cking crazy!”
“It won’t turn off?”
Young thugs who looked like they had just come out of a gambling den stomped on a blindfolded beggar and spat on his head.
“I heard the water isn’t good here anymore.”
They threw a silver coin at the beggar’s feet and disappeared, giggling among themselves.
“Go, thank you.”
The blindfolded beggar picked up the silver coins that had fallen on the floor as if he had eyes.
‘ha….’
Raon swallowed dryly as he looked at the beggar with the same face as Darkan that he had seen at the Holy Land of the Holy Sword.
‘That crazy guy!’
Why are you begging here!
