Episode 788
“Runan.”
Raon walked down the main road leading to the Slyon family and looked at Runaan.
“Why do you want to spar in front of your mother and father?”
I said I would grant it because it wasn’t a difficult request, but I didn’t under
stand the part about sparring at the Slyon family, my home.
“I have something I want to show mom and dad.”
Runaan lowered her left hand and grabbed the folktale sword hanging on her
waist.
“What do you want to show me?”
“That I have changed.”
She said that was all and showed serious eyes.
Gooooooo.
Runaan released a sharp yet noble energy wave as if in a life-or-death battle.
“hmm… .”
Raon narrowed his eyes as he felt Runan’s solemn spirit.
‘Has something happened in Syria causing a problem?’
Since Runaan doesn’t usually talk much, I felt like I had to end the sparring to find out her intentions.
-What are you doing!
As Raon was following Runaan, suppressing his curiosity, Lars jumped up.
-We’re not sparring right now, so eat the beaded ice cream first!
Lars said he couldn’t wait and shouted to get the beaded ice cream out quickly.
‘If I eat now, I think it will disturb Runan?’
He raised his finger and pointed at Runaan, who was concentrating as if the
sparring had already begun.
-uh?
‘Can I really eat it? Wouldn’t that be a bother to the ice cream girl? ‘It’s okay, right?’
Raon touched Lars with his shoulder and raised his eyebrows.
-Okay… .
Lars looked at Runaan and groaned in pain.
-Oh, I can’t help it. Eat right after sparring!
The guy turned his head and said he would give up for the ice cream girl.
‘Is that so?’
Raon laughed, looking at Ras whose face was red.
‘Anyway, you have a soft heart.’
Normally, Ras would have made a fuss asking people to eat ice cream quickly, saying who cares, but with Runaan on the line, he immediately shuts up.
I still couldn’t believe that this cotton candy that was suppressing even my own desires was the devil.
‘Someday, I want to go to the demon world you mentioned.’
Raon laughed while stroking Lars’ shriveled fur.
-Really?
Lars raised his head with wide eyes.
‘okay. I was curious what the demon world you rule over would be like.’
I wanted to see Ra’s’ treasured minions, and I was curious about what kind of world he ruled.
-That’s a very good idea! Even demon world bastards will come to their senses only if they are bitten by a crazy dog like you!
Lars showed a mischievous smile as if he was already looking forward to it.
If you do as the king says, you will be able to go to the demon world. Of course, it will be quite difficult and there will be a lot of preparation, but if you are the guy, it is possible.
‘Not now.’
Raon shook his head, pushing Ras away who was panting like a puppy.
‘If I survive after everything is over, I’ll go.’
The dark clouds over the continent remain, and revenge against Derus has not yet been completed.
He couldn’t answer right now because he didn’t know if he would still be alive even after letting go of all his resentment and hatred.
-Stop talking nonsense! Because a leech like you is sure to live longer than the real king!
‘I don’t know if it’s a compliment or an insult, but thank you anyway.’
Runaan’s steps stopped as Raon smiled and stroked Ra’s head.
“Everyone is here.”
When I raised my head at Runaan’s words, I saw the Slyon family’s mansion.
This was my first time here after what happened in Syria, and there didn’t seem to be much change.
“miss. “You came back quickly.”
The middle-aged swordsman guarding the main gate of the Slyon family bowed his head to Runan.
“huh.”
As Runan nodded, the middle-aged swordsman smiled and opened the frontdoor.
“Raon came too.”
The middle-aged prosecutor bowed politely to Raon.
“I’m sorry for coming to you suddenly.”
“no. Raon, you are always welcome.”
He smiled and welcomed me warmly, as if he was welcome to come anytime.
“thank you.”
Raon greeted the middle-aged prosecutor and entered the Slyon household.

“This way.”
Runaan did not walk towards the mansion in the center, but towards the garden on the left.
As I tilted my head and followed behind her, I saw her father and mother, Lorcan and Clara.
The two were chatting while sitting at a table in the garden.
“Runan! It’s too late! I thought I was dying to see you… uh?”
Rokhan ran towards Runaan and stopped when he saw Raon.
“Ra-on Sieghart? How did you get here… .”
He was so embarrassed that his chin trembled.
“It’s rude to your benefactor.”
Clara slapped Lorcan on the back and approached Raon.
“long time no see. “Welcome.”
She gave a polite bow while gently holding the hem of her skirt.
“It’s been a while since I saw you both.”
Raon placed his hand on his chest and bowed to Lorcan and Clara.
“Hey, nice to meet you. All because I was embarrassed and made a loud noise. Please understand.”
Lorcan scratched the back of his head apologetically. Seeing that she was on
guard because she came with Runaan, it seemed like her daughter was still an idiot.
“We met at the ice cream shop.”
Runan nodded, saying that she brought Raon with her from there.
“Oh, do you want to have a snack together? good job.”
Clara clapped her hands softly, saying it went well.
“no.”
Runaan shook his head resolutely, holding the sword of the folktale.
“I came to show you sparring.”
She pursed her lips, saying that she had called Raon for sparring, not for a snack.
“what? “Sparring?”
“Why all of a sudden?”
Both Lorcan and Clara widened their eyes as if they had never thought they
would see a sparring match.
“Just watch for now.”
Runaan exhaled calmly and stood in front of Raon.
“It’s okay if you don’t give your all, but don’t treat it like you would when fighting in the sparring hall.”
“… okay.”
Runaan’s fierce eyes flash with a serious color. She seemed to be sincere, so she set her Auror level to the beginning of Grand Master.
– Control your strength well. Because your entry level as a Grand Master is higher than that of other guys.
‘know.’
Raon nodded and placed the Jecheon Sword in its middle position.
Slurp.
Runan also seemed to have made up his mind and picked up the story without hesitation.
Kyaaaang.
The two men clashed swords as they did when sparring in the training hall, then took two steps apart.
Cheeeeee!
Runaan kicked the ground violently and screamed. Blades of frost bloomed on the silver sword and rushed towards his chest.
Hahaha!
Raon narrowed his eyes as he blocked Runaan’s sword strike with his sword.
‘Have you grown in the meantime?’
Runaan’s sword was sharp, as if she had shed all of her past flaws.
He seemed to have grown further by making his battlefield experience his own.
Slurp!
Even though the first attack failed, Runaan did not back down and launched
a second attack.
The pieces of frost she raised became snow called Gangi and poured down.
Kwagwagwagwa!
Raon drew the Seolpunggeomgyeol, which contains the techniques of the absolute sword.
The blade of the cold wind tore apart all the pieces of frost that fell ceaselessly.
Boom!
As soon as the frost storm subsided, Raon stepped on Taehwabo.
Cheeeeee!
He lunged at Runaan’s left side and stabbed his sword into her waist.
“hmm.”
Runaan created a gale of wind and dug into his space. It was a clever strategy
that combined evasion and attack at the same time.
“It’s a good move, but… “It’s still not enough!”
Raon took a step back and lowered the enemy island in the direction where
Runaan was charging.
Whoa!
Runaan blocked the enemy island with a blade blazing with blue frost, as if he would fight to the end.
Hahaha!
Because there was a large difference in the aura contained in the sword, Runaan was thrown violently and rolled on the floor.
“Ugh… .”
Even though Runaan felt the pain of her arm being torn off, she got up and ran again.
Whoa!
With cold eyes, Raon thrust the cartoon ball’s flame into Runaan’s gap.
Hwaaaaa!
Red-hot flames engulfed Runaan’s frost and struck her in the chest.
Ugh! Ugh!
A strong shock wave exploded, and Runaan rolled on the floor once again.
Her hair was scattered and blood was flowing from her forehead.
“Lu, Runan… ?”
“What the hell is this…” .”
Clara and Lorcan’s fingertips trembled as if they had never imagined that such a bloody sparring would take place.
“yet.”
Runaan stood up without hesitation, like someone who couldn’t feel pain.
Shaaaaa!
Even though she was injured, her sword skills became increasingly sharper. She felt like she was seeing Ye Sword taken to its extreme.
Hahaha!
In order to grant Runaan’s request, Raon destroyed her sword attack without
reducing her aurors.
Kwaaaaaaaa!
Runaan fell onto the lawn of the garden, turning the green ground to pitch black.
“Runan!”
“Stop it!”
Clara and Lorcan ran to stop Runaan.
“… no.”
Runan refused the two men’s hands and stood up alone in front of Raon.
“You can still do it.”
She clutched the snowflake tightly as if to continue.
-Isn’t that too harsh!
Lars furrowed his eyebrows as if telling him to take it in moderation.
‘Look at his eyes.’
Raon raised his sword and pointed at Runan’s eyes. She had always been fierce, and her eyes were burning with the will to do it.
“Huh!”
Runaan rushed forward, letting out a loud cheer. Her limbs may not be moving very well, but she ignores her movements as if she is protecting her.
Hahaha!
Even if he was tired, he had no intention of paying attention, so he forcefully
pushed away Runaan’s approaching sword.
Cheeeeeek!
However, for the first time, Runaan did not roll on the floor, but was pushed
backwards, kneeling only on one knee.
‘hmm?’
When Raon felt something strange and frowned, Runan bent his upper body
deeply and dug in to the left.
‘It’s too late to come like that.’
Even if it was an unexpected movement, it was not at a level that went beyond one’s awareness. To put an end to it this time, I lowered my sword diagonally.
At that moment, Runaan’s eyes flashed. She twisted the sword of Seolhwa as
if she had been aiming for this moment from the beginning.
Cheeeeee!
Runaan changed his defensive posture to a counterattack by slashing away at
the Heavenly Sword with his blade covered in blue frost.
Ssssssssssssssssssssssshh!
Before I knew it, Seolhwa’s blade was approaching my neck.
It was an unbelievable anomalous sword technique that Runaan used.
“under!”
Raon expressed admiration and twisted his wrist. He forcefully lifted the tilted Jecheon Sword and struck Runaan’s sword aimed at his uvula.
Hahaha!
The snowflake bounced and floated into the air, and Runaan fell down on the spot as if her strength had run out. Red blood flowed from her mouth.
“Runan!”
Rokhan could not stand it anymore and ran out to grab Runaan.
“Stop it!”
Clara also hugged Runaan, telling her to stop now.
“I saw Raon save his family… .”
Runaan stood up under her own power. She looked back at Lorcan and Clara
and bit her lip.
“But you can’t come back like that.”
“Runan… .”
Rokhan’s eyes widened as if he had never expected Runaan to say such a thing.
“So I have to end it. “You can only achieve that by remaining in Gwangpungdae.”
Runaan lowered his head and asked them not to tell him to quit the Thunderstorm.
“Umm… .”
“Runan.”
Lorcan and Clara bit their lips as if they sensed the growth of Runaan, whom
they had only seen as a child.
‘I understand now.’
Raon nodded slightly as he watched Runan’s family silently holding each other’s hands.
‘I suggested to Runaan that she should come out of the Thunderstorm.’
It seems that Rokhan sensed the increasingly dangerous situation on the continent and suggested to Runaan that she leave the Wind Winds and become a swordsman for Slyon.
‘With this sparring, Runaan rejected the offer.’
It was clear that Runan had challenged him to a sparring match today to show his determination to survive the Gwangpungdae and stop Syria.
‘okay. It’s definitely changed.’
The girl who loved beaded ice cream and was not good at expressing her emotions is not here.
The prosecutor standing in front of him was a true warrior with the will to become strong for his family.
Raon took out the box of ice cream he had bought a while ago and put it on
the table.
I quietly left the Slyon family mansion so as not to disturb Runan, Lorcan, and Clara.
-You guys have finally figured it out.
Lars nodded as if he had done well.
‘Thanks to you.’
– Heng! There is no need for flattery!
Contrary to his statement that he didn’t need flattery, the guy laughed heartily.
-I’m so moved that the ice cream girl has grown so much!
Lars nodded, saying it was fun to watch the child grow.
-I’m in a good mood, so let’s eat ice cream too!
The guy waved his round hand, telling me to quickly take out the mint chocolate.
‘Mint chocolate? You gave me that a little while ago.’
-uh… ? Didn’t you buy two?
‘You didn’t have time to live.’
Raon shrugged, saying there was only one.
-Go back and get it right now!
Lars shook his head and told him to go.
‘How do I get there? ‘We must be having a conversation amidst a sea of tears
right now.’
-Can’t you see the tears flowing from the King’s eyes?
The guy screamed and grabbed his head.
-You tactless bastard!
* * *
Raon, pushed by Lars’s backlash, bought mint chocolate again and returned
to the annex.
I was about to eat something in the garden and go in, but Merlin came out of
the annex and approached the garden.
-Sweet… .
Lars, who was dancing with the intention of eating ice cream, hid behind Merlin as soon as he saw him.
-Don’t talk to me, just let me go!
The guy tugged on Merlin’s collar, telling him to ignore him.
‘Is that possible?’
Raon shook his head and approached Merlin.
“Where are you going?”
“Grandfather called me.”
Merlin laughed heartily, saying it seemed like he had already been recognized.
“W-what kind of recognition?”
“Between us.”
She twisted her fingers like thread, asking if she knew everything.
“uh… .”
When I heard that nonsense, the thought that I would just ignore it like Lars
said filled my head.
“I heard that your mother and father are also together. “Raon, let’s go together.”
Merlin grabbed her wrist and led her to go with him. I looked in the direction and saw it was Pedric’s mansion.
‘hmm? Why here… .’
Currently, the only patient left at Pedric’s mansion is Sia.
When I realized that Merlin had been summoned to Sia’s presence, an ominous feeling ran down my spine.
“We’re here!”
Merlin boldly opened the door and entered, waving his hand.
“Come this way.”
Glenn nodded with heavy eyes.
“… … .”
Raon sensed that the atmosphere was not good, so he silently entered the hospital room where Glenn and the others were.
Sia was lying on the bed, and other people were surrounding her.
“What happened?”
Raon swallowed dryly and looked at Glenn.
“It was strange that Sia wasn’t waking up, so I checked in various ways… .”
Pedric stroked Sia’s head and sighed deeply.
“It seems like I’m in a state where I can’t wake up.
“What is that… .”
“The gap between my grown body and my young soul has widened too much. “The soul and body are not connected.”
He bit his lip, saying this was his first time doing something like this.
“Especially compared to the more developed Dandanjeon, the energy within it is extremely small. If things continue like this, I might not be able to wake up.”
Pedric massaged his temples, saying he never thought he would feel this helpless.
“that… .”
Raon looked back, biting his lip. Sylvia and Edgar must have heard it first and their shoulders were shaking.
“Is there any way to treat it?”
“I do not know. “We have to find out now.”
Pedric shook his head, saying he didn’t know anything.
“Then I guess it’s my turn to step forward.”
Merlin stood in front of Sia with his hands on her hips.
“I’ll take a look.”
She smiled softly and placed her hand on Sia’s forehead, as if telling her not
to worry.
Hwaaaaa!
A mysterious yet sacred blue light enveloped Merlin and Sia at the same time.
It felt like a world just for the two of them had opened up in this hospital room.
As the silence continued for what felt like an hour, Merlin’s eyelids slowly lifted.
“That’s right.”
Merlin looked back and frowned.
“The Green King helped the young lady’s soul grow, but since she has not awakened on her own, the connection is unstable.”
She shook her head, saying she couldn’t wake up on her own in this state.
-This is the situation the King was suspicious of.
Ras let out a low breath.
-When the main king enters your body, the gap between the soul and body causes a runaway, so the child has a problem of not being able to wake up.
The guy clicked his tongue, saying it was not something that could be easily
resolved.
“Is there a way to wake Sia?”
Glenn looked at Merlin with desperate eyes.
“it’s hard.”
Merlin put his hands together in front of him and lowered his eyes.
“Ugh… .”
Edgar looked down at Sia and bit his lip until it bled. She also seemed to be blaming herself, saying it was her fault.
“Sia!”
Sylvia knelt down and held Sia’s hand. Her eyes filled with tears as she seemed devastated by the sound of her barely-met daughter not being able to wake up.
“shit… .”
Rektar clenched his fist with the hand that had not even touched Sia. He squeezed so hard that blood flowed from his grasp.
“… … .”
Raon chewed his molars. I barely got my family together, but when another problem arose, I felt so frustrated that I felt nauseous.
“Merlin. “Is there really no way?”
He walked over to Merlin, who seemed lost in thought while biting his lip.
“there is?
“Anything is fine, just tell me how… uh?”
Raon gaped at Merlin.
“what… .”
“what… .”
Rektar and Sylvia also jumped up as if they were startled.
“I said it was difficult. “I didn’t say I couldn’t wake you up.”
Merlin looked at Sia with pitiful eyes and pursed his lips.
“… “There is definitely a way.”
