Episode 737
Raon lowered his gaze, picturing a ghost king hiding in the dark.
‘Ghost King.’
The first time I met the Ghost King was when he was appointed as the head of the Shadow.
It was a monster with such a faint presence that if Derus had not spoken to it, it would not have even been recognized that it was there.
However, despite his frail appearance, he possessed tremendous strength.
He was a Grand Master back then, so now he is at least a senior level. Or, there was a high possibility that it was of the highest quality.
‘still… .’
In real life, it would have been far away.
The Ghost King handed me the title of the best assassin in the South and disappeared.
Since he appeared again after the deaths of Matio and Lisbon, he had an advantage as he continued to gain experience.
‘Let’s shake it first.’
Raon gestured towards Gong, who couldn’t even see an inch in front of him.
“You know you got caught.”
In order to shake the ghost king’s psychology, he twisted his chin with an arrogant expression.
“come out.”
“Are you Raon Sieghart?”
An old, grayish voice came from the pitch black darkness. It’s a ghost king. He made his voice echo throughout the cavity to avoid revealing his exact location.
“Yes.”
Raon nodded briefly and swept through the darkness that would swallow up even the light.
“You must be the demon king, right?”
“okay. “I am the ghost king.”
The Ghost King answered without hesitation but he still did not show himself and hid his location by making his voice sound.
“Matio and Lisbon, who raised you, were the children I raised.”
I could hear deep sadness and loneliness in his voice.
‘Is he a ghost king after all?’
Raon lowered his gaze and relaxed his fingertips.
‘You manipulate your emotions freely.’
The feelings of sadness and loneliness that emerge from the ghost king’s voice are fake.
The author would not have considered Mattio and Lisbon to be his students.
“Did you hear this from Derus?”
Raon narrowed his eyes and looked toward the center of the group.
Seeing that Matio and Lisbon’s story was brought up, it was clear that Derus had heard that I was
the assassin Raon.
“okay. “They said you were Raon.”
The Demon King admitted obediently and let out a small laugh.
“Do you believe that charlatan?”
Raon sneered as he scanned the common terrain.
“He is God.”
The Demon King did not waver as if Derus was his only god.
“Do you know that he ran away with all his limbs torn off and a hole in his stomach?”
Raon twisted his chin as he told me what Derus looked like when he ran away.
“Ji abandoned the family he had raised all his life and ran away, but he is a god. “What a great god.”
“Shut up.”
The ghost king’s immobility, which had been as calm as a lake, fluctuated very briefly. The guy seemed to follow Derus more than expected.
‘Whether this is real or fake, I can use it.’
In the fight against assassins, the one who controls emotions and information wins. The more I knew about him, the better.
“Thanks to you, so many things have collapsed.”
A sharp killing intent bloomed in the ghost king’s voice.
“After Mattio and Lisbon died, I was again in charge of breeding them, and I also had to participate in the improvement of the signers instead of the necromancers.”
He said that he lived a busy life despite his old body, and exuded even more vitality. His skin felt
a tingling pain.
“Congratulations on your re-employment.”
Raon laughed and applauded.
“I heard there are no jobs these days, but if you get a job at that age, it’s a good thing.”
“They say the snout is scarier than the sword, and that’s true.”
The Demon King grinned and created a small breeze.
“But that’s it. “Even after you die, you will regret coming here alone.”
He calmed down all the burning flames in the entire cavity. He seemed determined to kill with all
his might.
“I’ve been curious about this for a long time. “I wonder how skilled the Demon King, who is said to be the best assassin, is.”
Raon slipped into the darkness with a deep smile.
“This darkness will be your grave.”
“bantling.”
The sound of the Demon King laughing was heard.
“I was a symbol of fear called the Demon King even before you were born. “Are you trying to fight me by assassinating me?”
“Don’t be scared.”
Raon shrugged his shoulders and shook his head.

“good night. “Whether you die this way or that way, you will only die.”
The Ghost King’s voice took on a calm tone. The steadfastness of an assassin. The only time he
was even slightly shaken was when he insulted Derus.
Raon lowered his stance, killing the presence with a ring of fire.
‘Not much of a chance.’
Judging by the flow of aurors that made his voice resonate, the Demon King’s strength was greater than that of a Grand Master.
On the other hand, he was now in a state of exhaustion that made it difficult for him to use even
half of his usual power because he had used a long sword and exploded with anger.
It was an unfavorable situation in many ways, but it didn’t seem like they were going to lose, perhaps because of the excitement of revealing Derus’ identity. And never in this place.
“Let’s get started.”
Raon slowly drew out his requiem sword and twisted his mouth.
“A silent war.”
* * *
The Ghost King chewed the inside of his cheek, glaring into the darkness where Raon had disappeared.
‘Assassin Raon.’
Derus suspected that Raon Sieghardt was Raon, the assassin who once served as the leader of the
Shadows, and at some point, he became convinced of that suspicion and identified the two.
A little while ago, he said that Raon’s identity was revealed by Sieghart and warned that if anyone comes here, it will definitely be Raon.
I quietly accepted it with some doubt, but I didn’t know it was true.
‘Derus told me to unconditionally step down, but… .’
I can’t miss the opportunity to kill that guy.
As long as Raon Sieghart is the assassin Raon, he cannot live under the same sky as him. Here he
had to be killed unconditionally.
‘but… .’
Still stupid.
Is it because of the joy of discovering Derus’ identity? Raon came out not as a head-to-head confrontation, but as an assassination confrontation.
Raon Sieghardt is strong. I don’t know who would win if they fought head on, but it would be a huge benefit for me if they came to me in an assassination duel like this.
‘Because it’s obvious how good he is.’
Even though he has been away from actual combat for a long time, the only person superior to him when it comes to assassination is King Sal. He was confident that he would not be defeated by anyone but him.
“It’s obvious where you’re hiding.”
The Ghost King made his voice sound from behind and spread a certain amount of force in all directions.
While hiding his location, he pressed on the space where Raon could move.
“Why is Derus’ foot scrubber so noisy? Oh, your master’s feet are gone now, so there’s no need to clean them.”
Raon insulted Derus and threw sword strikes into the air, destroying the ceiling.
Coo coo coo coo!
Stones and dirt rained down from the collapsed ceiling, making the air in the community even heavier.
‘Are you trying to shake my psychology?’
The Ghost King licked his lips as he looked at the direction Raon was moving.
‘But you’re the one who was shaken.’
Raon may have broken the ceiling and insulted Derus due to his nervousness and anxiety over not being able to catch his presence, but it was all according to his intention.
‘Because it was a deliberate act of survival.’
When the guy insulted Derus, I intentionally showed a little anger and gave him false information. It was clear that he was trying to exploit that gap.
“Do not insult him.”
The Demon King showed fake anger and headed towards the right hallway where Raon entered.
‘I can feel it at the end.’
A very subtle presence was felt inside the brainwashing training center, which was turned to the left.
The Ghost King held the dagger in his hand backwards and slightly bent his knees.
‘No, that’s not Raon.’
Although there was an ant-level presence inside the wall, it was not Raon.
‘There’s a dagger stuck in the wall.’
It was clear that they were planning to camouflage Raon’s presence by embedding the dagger he
had drawn before disappearing into the wall and then ambush him from behind.
‘It’s not a bad plan, but… .’
Since he was one of the people who designed this space, he knew the entire terrain by heart.
I could picture in my head where and how Raon would attack.
The Ghost King pretended to have been deceived by Raon and approached the wall with a secret
murderous intention.
Peeeeeeee!
As expected, the sound of a sword flying from behind was heard just before it touched the wall where the dagger was embedded.
‘Where!’
I leisurely turned around and tried to counterattack, but the rush of swords was too slow.
‘What is this!’
As I opened my eyes in surprise, a red dagger that I thought was just stuck in the wall was held in a white hand and pierced my lower abdomen where the dantian was.
“Kuhuheook!”
The Demon King dropped the dagger he was holding and fell to his knees.
“I told you.”
It’s Raon. In the darkness, his red eyes gave off a yo-yo light.
“This darkness is your grave.”
* * *
Fuuuuuuu!
Raon shocked the demon king’s heart, causing Lazy Worm to faint.
“Quaaaay… .”
The ghost king trembled all over, coughing up black blood due to the shock of his dantian breaking.
“Uh, how did you get there…” .”
His chin dropped as he saw a tiny space open at the bottom of the wall.
“I designed this place. There was no place like that… .”
“Of course.”
Raon looked down at the Ghost King and twisted his mouth.
‘Because I created this place.’
This hole in the floor was one of the secret passages prepared to escape from Derus, so it was natural that the Demon King did not know about this place.
“… “I see.”
The Ghost King gritted his teeth as if he had finally grasped the situation.
“Cutting the ceiling and insulting Derus were all tricks.”
“that’s right. “I didn’t think the Ghost King would be that excited.”
Raon nodded calmly. Throwing a sword strike, creating sound and dust, and taunting Derus were
preparations to use the Demon King’s psychological warfare in reverse.
As he had expected, he approached the wall with a dagger stuck in it and was deceived brilliantly.
Other assassins would not have been fooled. It was a high-level trick that he could only attempt as a demon king.
“I ignored you too much. Kill… .”
The Demon King raised his unwavering gaze even as he vomited a bloody amount of blood.
“I am the ghost king. “There is no use in torturing.”
“It’s something you have to do to know.”
Raon shook his head and pushed the heat of the manga ball and the cold of Glacia into the requiem sword stuck in the ghost king’s abdomen.
“I don’t know anything, and I can’t tell you what I know… “Wow!”
The Demon King’s steadfast expression, as if he would endure any torture, suddenly broke.
“Kwaaaaaak!”
The Ghost King was not the best assassin, but screamed and trembled with his limbs like an ordinary person.
“Why did you stay here?”
Raon looked at the shaking Ghost King’s eyes and snapped his fingers.
“Derus would definitely have told you to leave here too. “If they had targeted me, they would have made more thorough preparations.”
“I don’t know… .”
“In other words, you stayed here for another reason, and that would be because you needed to take care of something or hide something.”
“Keuuuuu… .”
The Demon King only groaned without answering, but unlike before, his gaze was shaken not by
pain but by embarrassment. It meant that his own predictions were correct.
“I wouldn’t have hidden it somewhere else in a situation where a battle could break out… .”
I put my hand into the Ghost King’s arms. He pulled the only non-weapon object from the bastard’s chest.
It was a small wooden box, and it looked plain because it had no pattern.
“Yes, you… .”
“I guess this is right.”
Raon opened the lid of the box, looking at the face of the Ghost King, who was turning pale.
Hwaaaaa!
Unlike the outside, which looked ordinary, the inside of the box had a bizarre magic spell drawn
on it, and a blood-red bead embedded in the center emanated a chilling amount of murderous intent
and malice.
“What’s this… .”
Raon frowned as he held the bead to the ghost king.
“What have you done!”
“Off… .”
Even though he was being tortured, the Ghost King kept his mouth shut. He was a toxic guy.
-It’s dirty.
Lars furrowed his brows as he looked at the beads.
-There is tremendous murderous intent, blood, resentment, and pain.
The guy shook his head, saying it was a terrible feeling.
“This place… .”
Raon chewed his lip as he looked around, not at the blood-red beads, but at the underground cavity.
“You gathered all the resentment and death that was in this land.”
Many children died unjustly, leaving indelible blood and resentment in this community.
It seemed like Derus was trying to take advantage of that malice.
“Kill… .”
The Ghost King acknowledged that his guess was correct by telling him to kill him.
“Where did you tell me to take this?”
“No, I don’t know. He just said that He was coming… .”
As if he thought it was all over, he answered, bleeding.
“That’s all you know.”
Raon hit the ghost king on the back of the neck, causing him to faint.
-Aren’t you going to kill me?
Lars waved his hand, asking why he didn’t cut his neck.
‘This guy doesn’t deserve to die here.’
The only people buried in this land are children who died unjustly. It was impossible to bury a ghost king here.
“That’s a good thing.”
Raon sighed as he watched the orb emitting more and more evil intent.
I don’t know what Derus was trying to use this bead for, but it was fortunate that he was able to stop it. If I had gone outside, something big would have happened.
-Ugh, clean it up now!
Ras also seemed to sense the beadle’s resentment and turned his head, sniffling.
‘Should I get drunk?’
-If it were your ability, you could purify the energy itself and accept it, but the grudge that could
not be erased would remain, and the quality of your soul would actually drop.
The guy said he would just destroy the marble and slammed his fist down.
“Should I…?” .”
As Ras said, the ring of fire could purify the power of the orb, but it seemed like it would not be
able to erase the grudge.
“I can’t help it.”
Wooooow!
When Raon was about to close his fist to break the marble, the requiem sword exploded with a strong sword strike.
“what? “You want to eat it?”
Wooooow!
The requiem sword rang again as if to leave it to me.
-Oh, no! Just wake up!
Lars shook his head, saying absolutely not.
“Now that I see it. “It wasn’t my concern.”
-Oh, no! This king… .
“It was to keep me from getting stronger.”
-for a moment!
Raon ignored Las’s gesture and stabbed the red orb with the requiem sword.
Fuuuuuuu!
The orb broke and a burst of red air tried to reach me, but was sucked into the blade of the requiem sword.
Wooooow!
The requiem sword made a clear sound as if comforting the resentment contained in the bead.
‘I didn’t want power… .’
Was it trying to comfort you?
Raon smiled slightly, looking at the red-hot blade.
It seemed that the Requiem Sword accepted this bead not because it wanted power, but with the intention of comforting the Vengeful Spirit and taking revenge together.
‘Are you in there too?’
My first friend, number 9, whose name I didn’t know, also closed his eyes for a long time and opened them, hoping to be with the requiem sword.
Raon put the requiem sword into its sheath and took out the Raon Sieghart Electric from his chest.
He carefully wrote his name on the half-torn first page.
“Lepon.”
I placed the book in the center of the cavity and lowered my head.
“My revenge, your revenge. And I will come back after I have avenged everyone who slept here.”
Raon bowed for a moment and left the underground cavity.
When I turned my gaze towards the direction where the smoke was burning, I saw the spectacular sight of the entire Robert family engulfed in flames.
‘This is a scene I’ve wanted to see for over 20 years.’
When Derus’ identity was revealed and he saw his family, which was everything to him, covered
in fire, an indescribable joy and coolness filled him.
No one can feel this emotion except yourself, and no one will know.
-hey.
Lars looked up at Raon and wrinkled his nose.
-You guys, there were a lot of strange things today… .
It was when the guy narrowed his eyes as if he was suspicious.
[You have achieved an impossible feat.]
[You have achieved an achievement that will change the history of the continent.]
[All abilities increase by 50 points.]
[Trait … .]
[Characteristic .]
[Additional compensation will be given.]
[All abilities… .]
[characteristic… .]
Lars gaped as he looked at the message that surfaced again.
-next time… f*ck you! I can’t stand it!
Lars eventually lost his patience and exploded, shaking his head wildly.
-When did the King acknowledge this? You didn’t say that word itself!
‘It looks like they took it as an acknowledgment that you said you would put up with it?’
-That’s a scam! I was just happy that Uriel was ruined! And why are they giving additional compensation? This damn system, please follow the king… uh?
Lars screamed, and then his round eyes doubled in size as he looked at the message that appeared
at the end.
-No, you can’t give me that! Your head is full of Nadine bread!
