Episode 781
Raon asked Helen a favor and then headed to Pedric’s mansion.
‘How long did I sleep?’
-Two days.
Lars muttered that it was pathetic and clicked his tongue.
-I don’t know why the young guy is so physically weak. When my king was your age, he used lava as a blanket to sleep.
‘No, in the world of images, I told you to take a break… .’
When we meet in the world of imagination, we tell him not to overexert himself because he might die, but in reality, he gets angry because we woke up late.
He was a ridiculous devil.
-Ha, you should wake up on your own in a day! The king hasn’t eaten anything in two days, and his stomach hurts! Kellogg!
Lars shook his head, saying it was too hard to just smell the food.
‘You’re coughing again. are you okay?’
-I felt better after sleeping, even if it was only for a short period of time. Kellogg!
Even though he told me not to worry, he coughed dryly. It didn’t seem to be in good condition yet.
‘Is there any medicine for you?’
-joy! Are you worried about the king because you are a child? Dry your head
and come back… Kellogg!
Lars furrowed his brows, telling me not to make foolish remarks.
‘When receiving compensation, there was a lot of fuss… .’
-Well, that and this are different! Do you think it would be good if the King’s
powers only fit into your snout?
The guy shook his head, saying there was no need to worry anyway. I’m so
moody that I don’t know which melody to dance to.
-Bring some food!
‘i get it. okay.’
After chatting briefly with Lars, we soon arrived in front of Pedric’s mansion.
smart.
“Come in.”
When I knocked, I heard Pedric’s kind voice coming from inside the mansion.
As soon as I opened the door and entered, I saw Pedric looking at a patient in the treatment room.
“Raon. Looks like it’s finally happened… .”
“Raon!”
As Pedric smiled and waved, Merlin came out from inside the treatment room.
-Hey! Kellogg! Yi Iik! Kellogg!
Lars seemed genuinely surprised and let out a series of screams and coughs.
“did you sleep well? “I carried you on my back and took you to the annex!”
Merlin waved his hand as if he didn’t remember.
“My grandfather kept following me from behind with his eyes wide open. “I thought you were a stalker!”
She giggled loudly, making Glenn the butt of the joke.
“Matriarch? No, rather, why are you here?”
Raon also widened his eyes in surprise because he didn’t expect Merlin to be
here.
“Because my mother, father, and grandfather are all here. “I have to take care of it.”
Merlin tilted his head, wondering if it was only natural.
“Shouldn’t that title be changed…?” .”
Raon’s chin trembled as he looked at Merlin. Even though he had no choice
during the war due to urgency, I never thought he would use that title until now. She was truly a woman she couldn’t handle.
“hey! “If you’re here, clean up after him!”
Marta came out from behind Merlin and wrinkled her nose.
“I’m treating you, but you keep coming next to me and interrupting me!”
“Is it right for me to change your mother and father’s bandages?”
Merlin shrugged his shoulders as if wondering what was the problem.
“That’s a distraction! “You can’t even sense it properly!”
Marca gritted her teeth, glaring at Merlin.
“Why are you here again?”
Raon let out a sigh as he looked at Martha’s red face.
“I was helping because there were so many patients.”
Marta nodded as if she knew something when she saw it.
“Are you still learning medicine?”
“He took it very seriously as I taught him. “I think he’ll surpass me soon.”
Pedric laughed, saying that Martha’s talent seemed to lie in medicine, not in
swords.
“You still think about what happened back then… .”
The reason Martha learned medicine was because she felt ashamed that she
could not do anything when Gwangpungdae was dying after being attacked by
the Demon Lord.
She seemed to still have that in mind.
“There’s that, but it’s because I want to save my mom.”

Martha lowered her head and chewed her lip.
“hmm… .”
“I shouted to you that I would definitely save my mother, but deep down, I had given up more than halfway.”
She let out a low breath and put down the bloody bandage.
“I thought it would be absolutely impossible for me, who is still a master, to defeat the White Blood Cult Leader, who is at the highest level among transcendents. but… .”
Marta looked Raon in the eyes and smiled faintly.
“Seeing how you saved your family. No, I was encouraged to see the whole family caring for each other.”
She nodded, saying that she now had hope that she too could save her mother.
“okay… .”
Raon smiled with his head slightly lowered.
Although he couldn’t save everyone yet, when he heard that Marta had gained courage, he also became determined that he could save Sia.
“I will do anything for that day.”
Martha said with a strong look in her eyes, “Please help me too.”
“okay. “I will help you until the end.”
Raon felt Marta’s will and nodded heavily.
“Hehe.”
Pedric smiled softly as if he was pleased with the conversation between Raon
and Marta.
“… … .”
Surprisingly, Merlin didn’t say anything. Watching her twitch her fingers made her want to intervene, but since it was her family’s story, she seemed considerate in her own way.
-Big! The beef girl has grown even further.
Lars exclaimed and applauded Marta.
‘That’s what it says every time.’
-I mean it this time! Because the herbivore didn’t raise its fur, but instead exposed its claws!
The guy smiled as if he was looking forward to the future.
-You must have played a big role in achieving that change.
‘Are you even praising me now?
-Because the beef girl is the king’s servant. Kellogg!
Ras lifted his chin while coughing, saying that he would take responsibility for his subordinates until the end.
‘okay. That’s right. We are a family, and we must take responsibility until the
end.’
Raon reflected on Lars’ sincerity and then looked at Pedric.
“What about your mother and the others?”
“I haven’t woken up yet, but I’m starting to recover.”
Pedric lowered his hand as if to tell him not to worry.
“Can I look at you for a moment?”
“I’ll guide you!”
As if he had been waiting, Merlin jumped out and opened the door to the right hospital room.
“Whoa… .”
Raon let out a low breath and entered the hospital room.
“I kept looking. We bandage it and give it medicine. “I even gave you a massage!”
Merlin bowed his head slightly and nodded, as if asking someone to praise him.
“hmm… .”
As Merlin said, Sylvia, Rektar, and Edgar’s complexion improved.
His breathing was much more stable than before, so it seemed like he would
wake up soon.
-mom! Kellogg!
Lars whimpered, clinging to Sylvia’s forehead.
-This guy keeps sleeping without giving me food! I miss my mom!
The guy told her to wake up and stroked Sylvia’s head.
“thank you. really.”
Raon bowed to Merlin. I was just thankful and sorry for everything that happened during the war and afterward.
“Why do you bow your head between us?”
Merlin told her to get up and straightened her back, then held her hands tightly.
“In front of your family already? “Isn’t it a little early?”
She narrowed her eyes and curled the corners of her mouth.
“… “You held my hand?”
Raon let go of Merlin’s hand and his shoulders trembled.
“By the way, Sia. “No, where is your sister?”
The only people in this hospital room were Edgar, Rektar, and Sylvia, and Sia
was nowhere to be seen.
“There’s a chance it could explode, so my grandfather is stopping it.”
Merlin pointed toward the main building, saying that Glenn was protecting Sia.
“Merlin. “I need to get back into my sister’s mind, can you help me?”
“as soon as? “It must be difficult, right?”
“are you okay.”
My body and mind were still sore, but I couldn’t stay still because I had seen
Murka’s past.
“okay.”
Merlin left for Gajujeon, saying he would go first and prepare since he needed time.
She seemed to treat entering the throne room, which even her direct relatives were afraid of, like a walk. Even as she watched, she was dumbfounded.
-Aren’t you going to follow right away?
‘Because I have work to do before that.’
Raon left Pedric’s mansion and returned to the annex.
In that short period of time, food carefully prepared by Helen and her maids
was laid out on the table in the annex.
“Good thinking! “If you want to protect Sylvia, you must at least eat well!”
Helen said she was glad and pushed the dishes on the table in front of her.
-Huh! What, what! These foods! Kellogg!
Lars drooled as he looked at the prepared food, as if he had never even thought of such a thing.
‘I asked Helen for a favor while you were whining about being hungry. ‘Please prepare some food for me.’
Raon sat in front of the table and waved his hand.
‘It’s a bit of a time now. When everyone wakes up, I’ll throw a party with your favorite dish.’
-This is enough!
Lars nodded, saying he was satisfied with just this.
‘Then the first thing is… .’
-Of course it’s pineapple pizza!
As if asking what he was doing, he pointed to a pizza with a whole pineapple
on one side.
‘ah… .’
* * *
Raon told Glenn and Merlin, who were waiting in the basement of the throne
room, what happened in the world of images and the story of Murka’s dream.
“Well, this is an unheard of incident. No, I would say that there are so many
of them that it’s hard to find them.”
Glenn narrowed his brows, saying that the practice of capturing quietly living monsters and spirit creatures to increase performance continues to this day.
“If the entire Orc tribe possessed sages, they would be an ancient race.”
Merlin smoothed the old woman’s mask and let out a low breath.
“Ancient race?”
“Eden’s ultimate goal. They are special people who lived during the time when the Demon Dragon of Destruction ruled. “He possessed wisdom and power greater than that of a human being.”
She clicked her tongue, thinking that there would be very little left now.
“The reason why that person named Essian went to the forest again was because he knew that the Orcs, including the Green King, were an ancient race, and he wanted to achieve great results.”
Merlin shook his fist, saying it was a terrible thing. She seemed like she had
been through something similar.
-Ugh… .
Lars suddenly whimpered and lowered his head.
-The King didn’t know that much, he’s such a pitiful bastard!
The guy’s eyes turned red as if he sympathized with Murka’s anger and despair.
‘therefore. ‘I guess I’ll have to make him attain Buddhahood.’
Raon sighed and looked at Merlin.
“I’ll go back in.”
“huh. okay.”
Merlin told him to wait a moment and condensed mana in both hands.
“Are you going to be okay?”
Glenn narrowed his eyes as if he was worried.
“It wouldn’t be good to keep entering other people’s images.”
“Right now, there is no one else who can do it but me. and… .”
Raon smiled slightly and nodded.
“Because I want to get my sister up before my mother wakes up.”
“okay… .”
Glenn patted his shoulder gently, as if he knew he couldn’t stop it.
“Don’t overdo it.”
“yes.”
Raon nodded and Ras waved his hand as he looked at Merlin.
-The king will not follow you this time.
Lars shook his head, saying that he was full and would just sleep in his bracelet.
-I said everything I had to say to that guy.
‘What to say?’
-There is such a thing!
He told me not to ask any more questions and went into the bracelet.
‘It’s bland.’
I smiled slightly and looked at Merlin. She nodded her head as if she was ready.
“Then I’ll be back.”
Raon took a breath and stretched out his hand toward the blue pillar that Merlin had set up.
Hwaaaaaaaaa!
The vision of Glenn and Merlin changes in an instant, and a black, dead forest appears. It was the image of Murka, the green king.
Just as when I first saw Murka, he was standing in the center of the forest, holding a stone sword cut in half.
“Why did you come back?”
He frowned as if he didn’t understand.
“You said you’d come back.”
Raon approached Murka and pulled out his sword.
Coo coo coo coo!
Murka seemed to accept this as a sign to fight, and raised a strong spirit over
the stone sword.
“Let’s spar.”
Unlike Murka, Raon held out his sword forward with a steady energy.
“what… ?”
Murka’s eyes widened as if asking what he was saying.
“The swordsmen of Sieghart, where I belong, develop camaraderie and skills
through sparring. “It is a practice of studying each other’s swordsmanship with
swords that are not filled with lethal force.”
“… … .”
Murka’s eyes trembled as if she didn’t know what Raon was thinking.
Wow.
Raon took a step closer to the embarrassed Murka and lightly tapped the surface of the stone sword with his sword.
“Since we crossed swords, I’ll take it as acceptance.”
He smiled slightly and struck Murka’s stone sword with force. A loud noise rang out, and Murka’s arms flailed as if they were about to fly off.
“Mmm!”
Murka swung his stone sword roughly with his eyebrows lowered.
Coooooo!
Raon blocked Murka’s sword strike and slowly parted his lips.
“I too have had a leash grabbed by a human.”
“what? What are you doing now? .”
“I wasn’t fooled like you, but he had my soul in his hands from the beginning. “There was nothing I wanted to do or could do.”
He brought up his past to Murka, whose jaw was trembling. Of course, she couldn’t talk about reincarnation, so she dramatized it appropriately and told it
as if it had happened in her childhood.
“… That’s how we were able to save Habun Castle. When I think about it now, each and every step was like a thin ice road. I guess I was lucky because of
my childhood and the Lord of Seong who treated me kindly. Oh, I have a gift with the child I brought there. Now that child… hmm? “It looks like time is up.”
Raon laughed as he watched his hands blur as if they would disappear.
Because I had experienced so many things, the time I could have spent in the world of images passed while I was talking about Habun Castle.
“Be right back.”
Raon waved his hand at Murka, who was still dazed, and then disappeared in
to smoke in the world of images.
“so… .”
Murka pursed his lips deeply as he looked at the place where Raon had disappeared.
“Who is that child, and what is the gift… .”
* * *
Wooooow!
The light rising from within the helmet disappeared, and Raon went limp.
“It looks like it’s over.”
Merlin looked at Raon and smiled.
“Right.”
Glenn nodded and moved Sia to the bed first.
“Tsk.”
Meanwhile, Merlin stood up with Raon on his back.
“Then I will leave Raon in the annex… .”
“Until there.”
Glenn stood in front of Merlin and frowned.
I will carry you today.”
“yes? why?”
“You carried me on your back yesterday, so wouldn’t it be right for me to carry you today?”
He stretched out his hand as if there would be no rejection.
“yes? “Where can you find something like that?”
Merlin didn’t let go of Raon’s hand as if he couldn’t do it.
“I can’t even smell Raon except at times like this!”
“What a smell! “Stop saying anything weird!”
Glenn waved his hand saying absolutely no, and before he knew it, Raon, who had been riding on Merlin’s back, was being held in his hand.
“You can’t even call me grandpa!”
Merlin shouted no way and clung to Glenn’s long gun.
“Okay… .”
Glenn’s lips trembled as he looked at Merlin, who was clinging to him like a leech.
“Are you not afraid of me?”
“yes? “Why are you afraid of Grandpa?”
Merlin shook his head with wide eyes.
‘What is this guy… .’
Unlike other people, he didn’t find it difficult and didn’t understand why people called him grandpa.
I wanted to hit him harshly, but I was frustrated that I couldn’t treat him care
lessly because he was Raon and Sia’s benefactor.
“It’s done! “I will take you today!”
Glenn left those words and immediately went up the stairs.
“No!”
When Merlin shook his head and clapped his hands, Raon, who was being held in Glenn’s hand, returned to Merlin’s back.
“I’ll go first!”
“Where!”
When Glenn stretched out his hand again, Raon flowed out and was caught in his grasp. He went straight up the stairs as if he wouldn’t be fooled by Merlin.
“Ugh!”
Merlin screamed and followed behind Glenn.
“Even if you’re my grandfather, there are some things I can’t compromise on!”
The two played tag and moved to the annex in harmony.
* * *
As soon as Raon came to his senses, he went back to the throne room and entered the image of Murka.
While sparring with him, he continued to tell me the path he had taken.
“… In this way, we were able to defeat the ghosts of Eden and rescue the saint in rags. “I was fortunate to be able to return the favor from my childhood.”
“There’s no place that those Eden guys don’t fit in.”
“I was kidnapped by Eden while on a mission, and when I thought there was
no way out, the matriarch and others came and saved me. I can’t express in words what I felt at that time. “Because it was the day I felt the intangible value
of relationships.”
“Relationships are a value that our tribe also values. “You helped even people who hated you. Your family is like a tribe.”
“The Aryan family we fought this time was originally in a space called the Swamp of Death. There was a guy called the Ghost of Eden… .”
“To play with the living and insult the dead to such an extent, you are a man
whose soul should be extinguished. I’m glad you took care of it.”
Murka, who didn’t even respond at first, listened to her story and was happy,
surprised, and embarrassed.
He also seemed to be immersed in the story with Dalian.
“… So I was able to save my family this time.”
Raon lowered his sword with a heavy breath. He told us all about his life, ending with the story of how he met his family again.
There was nothing left to say now.
“So your story isn’t over yet.”
Murka licked his lips with regret and lowered the stone sword to the ground.
“Like my ancestors, I wanted to have good relationships with humans. With people like you.”
His gaze, looking up at the gray-white sky, slowly fell on Raon.
“It seems like it has finally come true. “Even if it’s the last time, I’m still happy.”
Murka portrayed a smile with eyes filled with warmth, not fighting spirit.
“you… .”
“The oath I made to protect that child was not to move from this spot. And the mind does not give in.”
He nodded and held the stone sword backwards.
“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
Raon frowned at Murka.
“Thank you.”
Murka smiled even brighter and stabbed himself in the chest with the broken
stone sword.
Whoa whoa!
The stone sword pierced his chest, and red blood flowed out.
“Murka!”
“It’s a pledge I made. If I were killed here by someone else, Sia would never
wake up. He figured it would be better for him not to wake up than to be used
as a killing machine by demons or something.”
Murka spit out black blood from the corner of his mouth and told me about the oath he had made.
“But it would be different if you were there. “I believe in you and I want to bring that child back to life.”
He pulled out the stone sword that was stabbing his heart without erasing his
smile.
Pukaaaaaak!
Red blood, no different from that of humans, spurted out and drenched the black, dead forest.
“why… ?”
Raon swallowed dryly as he looked at Murka.
“I was deceived by a human, why did you protect me?”
I couldn’t believe that Murka, who had been attacked by humans, made an oath to protect Sia. Because it was something he could never do.
“If an animal bites me, does that mean I also have to become an animal?”
Murka, in his orc form, laughed and spoke more humane words than anyone
else.
“I will watch your life through the eyes of this child until the end.”
With those last words, he turned into black ash and scattered along with the
other orcs.
Whoa!
A light light rose from the ground where Murka was stomping all the way.
