Episode 1049
Raon closed his eyes, opened them, and left the annex.
The maids were beginning their day’s work with a chat, and the sound of Sia swinging her sword could be heard from the lakeside.
We headed to the lake, enjoying the sounds of the annex that always make us feel good. Sylvia and Edgar laid out a table behind the lake and watched Sia practicing his swordsmanship.
“We even had breakfast together, and it’s strange that you stayed until this late.”
Sylvia put down her teacup and looked at herself.
“Aren’t you going to the training ground today?”
She smiled faintly, saying that there are many strange things.
-I’m sure breakfast was good today.
Lars licked his lips, his eyes widening.
-The meat lightly marinated in wine melted softly in my mouth. It was a good palate cleanser before eating the grilled kraken.
The guy nodded, saying he had finished a satisfying meal before the war.
“The intensive training period ended yesterday.”
Edgar lifted his finger and pointed at the dazzling blue sky.
“Our son deserves a day off too.”
He had worked hard, so he told her to get some rest today, and gently patted her arm.
“Would you like a cup of tea?”
Edgar pulled out a chair next to me and motioned for me to sit down.
“I have something to tell you both.”
Raon let out a shallow breath as he sat down on the chair that Edgar had brought out for him. The two people put down their teacups as if to tell him to speak, and turned their gaze to him.
“Do you remember the story about three months ago when Gwangpungjeon and I captured the apostles and sank the White Blood Cult’s sailing ship?”
Before getting into the real details, I brought up the details of a mission that happened three months ago.
“of course.”
“Of course I remember. I can recite every word you say without missing a single word!”
Sylvia nodded as if it was obvious, and Edgar muttered about the atmosphere at that time as if he really remembered everything.
“Actually, the story didn’t end with killing the apostle. The sea spirit I saved told me the location of the White Blood Cult headquarters, and I, Evelyn, and Roen… .”
Raon told them everything that had happened.
“I see.”
“It seems like they’re moving around busily….”
However, Sylvia and Edgar accepted it calmly as if they knew everything about him.
“Did you know that?”
When he left with Rektar, and when he went to the sea alone a while ago, he had expected it to some extent because Sylvia and Edgar had not asked anything, but it seemed that the two had read his movements and predicted a war with the White Blood Cult.
“Don’t make fun of Mom.”
Sylvia waved her hand, saying that she felt something even without saying anything.
“Because I know you better than anyone in the world.”
She smiled softly, saying that her insides were clearly visible.
“You too, but I felt something after seeing my father’s reaction.”
Edgar raised his eyebrows, resting his chin on the table.
“That guy is not good at lying.”
He scoffed, saying that it was not him, but Lektar who felt it.
“okay.”
Raon smiled thinly and nodded.
“Are you confident you can win?”
Sylvia met his eyes. In the past, she would have been so worried that she would have even started to cry, but she somehow managed to hold on by just shaking her hand.
It seemed like he didn’t want to show himself as weak by going to war.
“I’ve prepared enough so that I won’t have any regrets. Now all that’s left is….”
Raon swallowed the tea Edgar had poured for him in one gulp and stood up from his chair.
“I just do my best.”
He bowed and told the two men that he would go and see them.
“Laon.”
As if he had heard that Sia was leaving, he came towards the table.
“Are you going to fight?”
“Yeah. There are some bad guys that need to be punished.”
“Can I go too?”
She was holding the sword she had given him carefully, as if she wanted to go with him.
“There is a separate place where you have to fight, sister.”
Sia is still strong, but she is growing faster than anyone else, so she could be of great help if she were to be sent into battle right away.
But the first enemy she had to draw her sword against was not the White Blood Cult, but Eden. She had to stab the blade of revenge at those who had insulted and mocked Edgar, herself, and her entire family.
“Can you wait until then?”
“of course!”
Sia nodded as if to tell him not to worry and went back to the lake to swing her sword.
“That child has grown a lot too.”
Sylvia sighed, both proud and regretful.
“Because puberty is over. Soon you’ll be more mature than me.”
Raon laughed, saying that the day when he would treat Sia like a younger sibling would not be long.
“Hey, Sia’s puberty is over?”
Edgar opened his eyes wide as if he found it strange.
“You still won’t let me into your room? You even wash your laundry separately and you don’t even sleep together!”

He lifted his chin as if to ask why.
“… … .”
“… … .”
Raon and Sylvia stared blankly at Edgar without saying anything.
“You still throw away the side dishes you give to me without eating them! Why are you doing that!”
Edgar shook his head, saying he had no idea.
-Why is that…?
Lars snorted as he watched Edgar scream.
-That’s why you hate it!
***
The sacrificial room where red and white blood flow together.
The demons approached the bound and blinded warriors. The demons were panting heavily as they watched the blood flowing out of the warriors’ eyeballs, seemingly having a hard time controlling their appetite.
“Eat.”
As the blue-haired handsome man snapped his fingers, the demons unleashed their suppressed desires and bit the necks of the warriors.
“Kkaaaaaaah!”
“Ahhhhhhh!”
The unmanned creatures screamed as if their throats were being torn apart, but the bloodthirsty creatures were more excited by the sound and tore at flesh with their sharp fangs.
The screams of those begging to stop were nothing more than an orchestra in a fancy restaurant whetting the appetites of the bloodthirsty.
Phew phew.
The White Blood Cult Leader, who had been watching the scene, lowered his bear pole and blew out white smoke from his red lips.
“You managed to get all that food in such a short time.”
She nodded her chin at the blue-haired handsome man who approached her with a smile.
“The Twelve Apostles.”
“Thanks to the sacred teachings of the cult leader.”
The man called the Twelve Apostles bowed carefully with his hands on his chest.
“Your tongue still rolls well.”
The White Blood Cult Leader snorted at the laughing Twelve Apostles.
“I thought you’d be twiddling your thumb all your life, but I never thought you’d show up after reaching transcendence.”
She lowered her eyebrows, as if genuinely surprised.
“I can’t even calculate how many sacrifices were missed in the middle.”
“Ahahaha.”
The twelve apostles smiled awkwardly and rubbed the back of their necks as if they were embarrassed.
“I’m sorry. I felt a lot from the leader’s teachings, so I became a little greedy.”
He lowered his eyes slightly as if he could not fool the white blood cult leader.
“Normally, your body would have burst before you could ascend to transcendence. Be thankful for your strong body.”
The white blood cult leader waved his hand as if he had been accepted.
“Thank you for your understanding. It may not seem like much of a thank you, but….”
The twelve apostles extended their hands with gentle smiles.
“I also brought a gift for the leader.”
At the snap of his fingers, the Archbishop of Red Light brought in a bound and gagged woman.
“I am the captain of the royal guard of the Kingdom of Sebion. I am the Grand Master.”
The Twelve Apostles spread out their arms as if to say, “Enjoy as much as you want,” without inflicting any harm.
“I hope this food will be the final piece to the leader’s great cause.”
“That bastard is like a snake.”
The White Blood Cult Leader raised his lips, seemingly not in a bad mood as he said.
“If you and the Ten Apostles were evenly divided, you would have become a pretty decent man.”
She clicked her tongue as she looked at the ten apostles standing on her right without saying anything.
“It is an honor to be compared to such a great senior.”
The Twelve Apostles bowed their heads toward the Ten Apostles.
“… … .”
The ten apostles glanced at the twelve apostles and turned away without saying anything.
“What’s the atmosphere like outside?”
The White Blood Cult Leader asked with the bear’s head between his lips.
“Oh, Emperor. No, the entire continent was quiet. However, it didn’t feel peaceful. Should I say it was like a powder keg before it was set on fire?”
The Twelve Apostles smacked their lips, feeling a sense of impending unease.
“I guess that means they’re preparing to hit us.”
The White Blood Cult Leader spat out white smoke, saying that he could clearly see Oh Hwang’s thoughts.
“Now that I think about it, I think it’s time to change bodies.”
The twelve apostles narrowed their eyes as they looked at the white scales on the back of the White Blood Cult Leader’s hand.
“I remember when I brought that body.”
He shrugged his shoulders as he looked at the Ten Apostles.
“You stopped me from eating what I was about to eat. Thanks to that, we may have the current leader.”
The Twelve Apostles applauded the Ten Apostles for their great deeds.
“… … .”
The 10 apostles did not respond to the 12 apostles’ words, which seemed like praise or ridicule, but only looked straight ahead.
“Replacement… .”
The White Blood Cult Leader furrowed his eyebrows as he looked at the scales on the back of his hand.
“We definitely need to prepare.”
She nodded toward the Ten Apostles.
“Contact the thirteenth.”
With those last words, the White Blood Cultist left the room of sacrifice with the captain of the Sevion Kingdom’s guards that the 12 Apostles had rescued.
“Even though I have reached the transcendence, it seems that the leader trusts his seniors more. It is a shame.”
The twelve apostles licked their lips as if they were disappointed and followed the White Blood Cult Leader out.
“Thirteenth… .”
The 10 apostles slowly took their lips off the dying man, without taking their eyes off him, whose blood had been drained from his entire body.

Raon walked up onto the platform of the 5th martial arts studio with heavy steps.
“Thank you all for your hard work.”
He looked at the inspectors who had followed his bizarre training for two long yet short months.
He nodded in satisfaction at his subordinates who had grown both physically and mentally.
“This operation to attack the White Blood Cult was carried out with only a very small number of people within Sieghart knowing about it, so we ended up participating in the war as the main players.”
Raon turned his red gaze towards the inspectors who were making rough waves as if they were excited.
“It means that we have to produce results even if it means sacrificing everything we have worked hard for. Can you do it?”
If you can’t do it or don’t have confidence, then get out now, he said, stepping on the stepping stone that contained the weight of ten thousand pounds on the stage.
“Of course.”
Burren let out an unwavering cry and struck his chest with his fist.
“I’m ready too… .”
In Runaan’s fierce eyes, the starlight that surrounded her will flashed.
“Yeah, I’m scared, but I’ll fight till the end. No, I’ll do it!”
Dorian could not completely overcome his fear, but he clenched his fists and fought with his life at stake.
“I too will fight like a madman, just like the crazy Lord Jeonju!”
Crane, whose right eye was blackened, kept repeating the words “crazy man” as if rebelling against himself, but I left it alone for the time being because I liked his spirit.
“I will follow.”
“Finally, a real fight with Sima? I’m looking forward to it.”
Mark Gotten simply bowed as if to comply, and Trevin bumped his fists, saying he had been waiting for this moment.
“… … .”
Martha, who was always at the forefront of the battle, did not open her mouth and instead gripped her sword so tightly that veins appeared on the back of her hand. Her appearance alone answered the question of her attitude toward this war.
“let’s go.”
Raon came down from the stage with calm, settled eyes and headed towards the exit of the training ground.
Gooooooooo!
The Gwangpungjeon inspectors followed behind, emitting sharp auras as if they had already drawn their swords.
Raon led the inspectors who seemed to have become one famous sword and entered the training ground of the head of the main house.
Kookookookookook!
The training grounds of Gaju were the largest in Sieghardt, but there was hardly any space left as the troops called by Glen were lined up.
“Gwangpungjeon, come this way.”
Raon followed Roen’s guidance, who was waiting, and headed to the left where the battle was lined up.
“Wait until I give instructions.”
After giving instructions to the Gwangpungjeon inspectors not to move, he went up to the podium where the executives were standing.
“Hey! Nephew!”
“You came.”
Balder and Denier, who had arrived first, waved to him.
‘Denier.’
It was still unclear whether Denier was an ally or an enemy, but he had a similar stench to Derus Robert. He absolutely could not let his guard down and had to be careful until the very end.
“I see you two in Jeonju.”
“You’re late.”
As Raon bowed his head to Denier and Balder, Karun walked out from the left end.
“Laon! Long time no see! I heard you took good care of our kids!”
Alice jumped out from behind Karun and ran towards him.
‘what….’
Raon let out a sigh as he looked at Karun and Alice.
‘He grew up like that?’
The two transcendent beings had reached such a high level that their previous appearances were not even visible. It would not be an exaggeration to say that, with the exception of the mind sword, they had followed them up to their chins.
‘That’s amazing.’
I was surprised and curious as to what kind of training they had done to achieve growth that was no less than mine. No, more than that, I was moved by the efforts of the two people.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
Instead of saying hello, Raon acknowledged Karun and Alice’s efforts.
“Ahem!”
Karun blushed and cleared his throat as if he understood what she meant.
“As expected, you know.”
Alice said she knew it and hugged him coolly.
“You’ve changed a lot too. How did you grow up so quickly?”
It was when she laughed that her own growth was more surprising.
Kuuuuung!
The door to the Gaju martial arts studio opened and Glenn and Cheongeomdae came in.
“Meet the lord!”
“Meet the lord!”
At Karun’s greeting, all the officers and troops standing in the training ground knelt and bowed their heads.
Damn it.
Glenn walked through the center of the training ground with a spirited stride and climbed onto the platform. His massive and intimidating aura sent cold sweat running down the backs of the inspectors.
“Everyone, stand up.”
The inspectors lifted their trembling knees at Glenn’s soft voice.
“Two months of intensive training. Everyone worked hard.”
Glenn nodded as he looked at the inspectors standing in the training ground one by one.
“Some people may wonder why we conducted an intensive training period of two months when we had only one month or not at all.”
He lowered his red gaze and looked at Raon.
“Let Kwangpungjeonju explain the reason instead.”
“yes.”
Raon nodded and went up to the podium. He calmly accepted the gazes of the inspectors who were only looking at him and opened his lips.
“You all probably know that our Gwangpungjeon defeated the Nine Apostles and stopped the White Blood Cult. However, there were some circumstances that occurred after that.”
I explained to all of the Sieghardt Inspectors what had happened so far. Since I had told Sylvia and Edgar in advance in the annex, the conversation flowed smoothly.
“Bae, you found the headquarters of the White Blood Cult? Under the sea?”
Alice opened her eyes wide as if she had never imagined it.
“It’s a war against the White Blood Cult….”
Karun clenched his fists, as if he was glad to have the chance to unleash his growing power.
“… … .”
Denier just looked at himself and Glenn with calm eyes without saying anything.
“Is this an all-out war with the White Blood Cult?”
“I understand why you only made me train for two months….”
“Yeah. Then that time will be meaningful.”
“You seem strangely confident.”
The inspectors were brimming with confidence thanks to the intensive training they had undergone for two months, and they displayed a strong spirit and high fighting spirit.
“So when does the war start!”
Balder came forward to the stage, stamping his feet so that the ground shook, as if he was looking forward to a war with the White Cult.
“… … .”
Raon looked at not only Balder but also the Sieghardt inspectors standing behind him and raised his finger towards the sky.
“now.”
He pointed to the blue dimension rising above his head and scoffed fiercely.
“The war has already begun.”
