Episode 804
[The grade of the attribute exceeds 12 stars and evolves into a new attribute [Mysterious Index].]
Raon swallowed dryly as he looked at the message written about the evolution of traits.
‘Could the trait be evolved?’
Since the level of martial arts begins with 1 star and ends with 12 stars, I thought
that the growth of the trait would stop once it reached 12 stars.
However, contrary to his expectations, the trait grew once again from 12
stars and evolved into a new trait.
‘Myeonggyeong index… .’
Just as you cannot see your face reflected in shaking waves, and you can only see
your face reflected in calm waves, myeongjungsu means maintaining a calm mind and heart that is always unwavering.
In other words, it seemed like had become , allowing one to maintain peak concentration in any situation.
‘I’m crazy.’
Raon looked back at Lars with a smile.
‘Why didn’t you tell me this… .’
-Crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
When I was about to ask Lars why, he gritted his white teeth.
-Oh my! This is crazy! Why do we have to evolve! You could have just left it at 12
stars!
As always, Lars treated the system like a human being and hurled points and curses.
-I really can’t stand it anymore! I will go back to the demon world right away and
destroy them all!
The guy said he couldn’t accept it and grabbed his head.
‘I don’t know what it is, but first of all, thank you.’
-Because the heat will spread and you will start to feel sick! Shut up!
‘hmm.’
Raon left Lars, who was making a fuss, and checked the message again.
[Mangeom’s buds have begun to sprout.]
[All abilities increase by 20 points.]
[The level of the attribute increases.]
[The level of the attribute increases.]
[The level of the attribute increases.]
[The grade of the attribute exceeds 12 stars and evolves into a new attribute [Mysterious Index].]
[A new title is created.]
20 points, level up three talents and create a title.
This reward may feel a bit small since I have recently gained a lot by achieving impossible achievements in a row, but it is absolutely not.
As soon as Lass, who liked the title, checked the Mysterious Index,
he started foaming at the mouth, it was clear that it was the highest reward among
all the rewards he had received so far.
-Ugh… .
Lars was sobbing and his chin was shaking.
-I shouldn’t have made fun of you for receiving the title of Steel Leech. The person who sucked the most blood from that guy was King Bon… .
The guy sniffed, saying that he was being sucked in from the first time we met until now.
‘It’s mutual aid.’
Raon smiled and patted Lars on the shoulder.
-Sa, mutual aid? Is that the sound that comes out of your snout?
Lars screamed loudly.
-Sucking the King’s energy right down to his marrow and only giving him a few pieces of ice cream to help each other? You bastard whose conscience has sprouted angel wings!
‘Isn’t that a compliment?’
-Of course not! It means dog poop that you step on twice!
The guy raised his fist, emitting intense anger.
– Apologize right away! Apologize for mutual aid!
‘sorry.’
-Ugh! Since I apologized, they get even more upset!
Lars shouted that he couldn’t stand it anymore and stretched out his fist.
‘What are you saying…? .’
Raon easily blocked Lars’ fist and then looked at the title .
When you learn the martial arts or abilities of the person you are attached to, your understanding and concentration improve, and you gain the other person’s favor.
‘oh?’
I was worried because the name “Steel Leech” was strange, but the content wasn’t
bad.
-Ugh… .
Lars gaped as he observed the effect of the title.
-Oh, you’re trying to gain favor by acting like a leech? Are you saying I have to smile even though my blood is being sucked and eaten? What kind of vicious effect is this!
The guy muttered that he was scared and his plump chin trembled.
-Whose side are you on? It is clear that the King knows that he lives like this!
Lars waved his arms and shouted at the system to jump out immediately.

‘My ears hurt. Please stop.’
Raon shook his head, pushing Ras away from the tangle.
-Your head is like a leech! Would you be able to endure it? How can you stay still
when your flesh is being torn into pieces every day?
Lars pulled his hair roughly, telling him to change his position and think.
‘Oh, I understand.’
Raon let out a long sigh. The compensation check was over, and he was sore from the injury he sustained in Dalian, so he wanted to rest quickly.
‘When you return to the family, I will eat whatever you want for a day.’
I stretched out my hand, reciting the only spell that worked for Lars.
-Kiaaaaa!
Lars gritted his teeth like a cat, as if saying absolutely nothing.
‘Two days.’
-Kiaaa!
‘three days.’
-Kia?
‘Four days.’
-Pfft! It’s a call!
The guy eventually nodded, accepting the deal.
-Oh, I’m tired today! I have to go quickly.
Lars said he was looking forward to returning to his family and went straight into
the ice flower bracelet.
“ha… .”
Ras shook his head as he watched Ras disappear with his tail waving.
‘I’m the one who’s tired.’
I quickly changed my clothes and immediately lay down on the bed.
‘I don’t know if I’m living with the devil or raising a fierce cat… .”
Sometimes he’s more mature than Glenn, and other times he’s more insignificant
than a clucking kitten.
I still couldn’t figure out who the devil was.
‘It won’t be long until I see that bright starlight… .’
Raon looked at the night sky of Seonggeomryeon, sparkling like a sea of stars, and slowly closed his eyes.
‘It’s time to go back.’
* * *
The time when Raon fell asleep.
Rektar welcomed two guests in the drawing room.
“That would be very nice.”
Lawrence sat down on the sofa and straightened his curved back.
“My grandson is so handsome, I’ll be full even if I don’t eat.”
He furrowed his brows as he stuffed the cookies on the table into his mouth.
“Aren’t you just full?”
Zalek’s mouth twitched as he received Lawrence’s words.
“My grandson is the most talented person on the continent, so he will feel refreshed even if he doesn’t sleep.”
He sat down on the sofa with a snort.
“Hehehe.”
Even though he was heartbroken, Rektar leaned back in his chair and smiled broadly, as if he was happy to hear Raon’s praise.
“Stop laughing and just tell me. “What happened during this time?”
Lawrence beat his chest and tilted his head forward as if he was frustrated.
“What on earth did you do to create a monster equal to me in your early 20s?”
He shook his chin and said he never imagined there would be someone like Raon.
“Not to that extent.”
Rektar calmly shook his head.
“If you hadn’t looked after me, Raon wouldn’t have been able to stand today.”
He said thank you and smiled softly.
“There is no need to include life in ordinary couplets.”
Lawrence snorted, saying it was obvious.
“And Raon. That arrogant bastard didn’t have any murderous intentions towards
me either. “The result would have been the same.”
He smiled slightly, saying that no matter what happened, it would have ended in
a draw.
“Is that so?”
Rektar drew a gentle smile as he looked into Lawrence’s eyes.
“I also laugh. “It looks like you and Raon have become quite friendly.”
“Chi, what’s the point of becoming friends! “I’m relieved to hear that the troublesome guy is leaving soon!”
Lawrence shook his head, covering his red face with his long hair.
“You still aren’t being honest. but… .”
Zalek let out a weak laugh as he looked at Lawrence who was embarrassed.
“It’s much better than before. “I guess this is also thanks to Raon.”
He lowered his eyebrows, saying that Raon played a big role.
“Si, don’t worry!”
Lawrence turned his face, even his earlobes dyed red.
“It’s done! “Tell me how you found him!”
He was curious and said he felt like a thorn had sprouted from his mouth and lowered his hand.
“I’m interested in that too.”
Zalek sat down next to Lawrence and nodded.
“How were you able to bring in Sieghardt’s direct descendant as your grandson?”
He also quenched his appetite, saying he was curious about Raon and Rektar’s situation.
“Well, it’s going to be a bit of a long story, but… .”
Rektar quenched his thirst with tea and told the two of them what had happened.
“… “I see.”
Zalek bit his lip.
“Now I understand why there was such a strange sense of desperation in that young guy.”
He nodded heavily, saying that only now could he understand Raon.
“That damn bastard… .”
Lawrence let out a long sigh and clenched his fists.
“When you heard the story of my past, strangely enough, you seemed to empathize with me. I thought it was just sympathy, but it wasn’t. “He lived a life as miserable
as mine.”
He nodded, saying that he, too, could understand Raon’s life.
“And Ryeonju too.”
Lawrence frowned as he looked at Rektar, who was putting his hands together.
“The reason he came to me before and said that he would ask for the Holy Sword
Training when he died was because of Raon.”
He brushed up his disheveled white hair, saying he understood everything.
“okay.”
Rektar rested his chin calmly.
“I was thinking about giving up my life for Raon. “I thought you could take charge of the Holy Sword Training since we’ve dealt with all the people who worshiped the Sentai Train Leader.”
He smiled slightly, saying that he trusted Lawrence.
“Then you should have told me this!”
Lawrence frowned, asking why he opened his mouth now.
“sorry.”
Rektar lowered his head, saying he had nothing to say.
“… “I have no children or grandchildren, but I understand Ryeonju.”
Zalek nodded calmly.
“Is this what it means to get older?”
He smiled calmly as he looked at Rektar.
“Ha, I thought I was the only one experiencing the world’s most damned problems, but I guess I wasn’t.”
Lawrence clicked his tongue and looked at the living room ceiling.
“I didn’t know that someone worse than me was living that hard.”
He chewed his lip as if he was ashamed of the years spent confined to the cave.
“It’s not too late.”
Rektar looked at Lawrence and shook his head.
“You can’t bring back the past, but you can change the future with your own hands.”
“Of course I know.”
Lawrence’s golden eyes flashed as if he had been waiting.
“I will join Raon and Martha when they attack the Baekhyeolgyo. No, I will stand in front.”
He bit his molars, saying he would avenge his mother, who was his nanny.
“Before, I was so scared that I couldn’t even say it out loud, but thanks to that crazy guy, I guess I gained some courage.”
Lawrence smiled softly as he recalled Raon, who had hit him so ignorantly.
“Hmm.”
Zalek stretched his hand across the table and licked his lips.
“I will join you then.”
“Why are you such a coward? “Did you become attached to Raon after being bullied?”
Rektar twirled his finger around Zalek’s head and sighed.
“Stop talking nonsense!”
Zalek slapped Rektar’s hand away and furrowed his brow.
“You can’t just leave the second disciple you received in your later years alone.”
He licked his lips, saying that Dorian was stepping on his eyes.
“Didn’t you say you were not a disciple?”
Rektar laughed and waved his hand.
“Keuhum, don’t play with words.”
Zalek cleared his throat and lowered his gaze.
“Dorian is such a good guy. “I can’t help but be worried because he’s an even bigger coward than I used to be.”
“Then maybe one day Dorian will reach higher than you.”
Rektar tilted his chin as he looked at Zalek’s crumpled expression.
“Well, that could be possible.”
Zalek smiled thinly, as if he wished that were the case.
“I think I’ll join you that day, it turned out to be fun.”
Rektar took out a bottle of high-quality liquor from the bookshelf and placed it on the table.
“That’s precious.”
Lawrence looked at the bottle and widened his eyes.
“It’s a memorial. “Let’s have a drink in the hope that all three of us will be together on the day of the White Blood Bridge.”
He filled Lawrence and Zalek’s glasses and raised them first.
“For the happiness of my grandchildren.”
“To avenge my mother.”
“For cowards.”
The three people’s drinking party, which started with each of their resolutions, continued until dawn.
* * *
Dark dawn.
Do-goe stopped in front of the door of the 5th training camp.
“Are you here today too?”
He sensed the presence of someone in the training hall and grinned.
“Anyway, he’s an amazing guy.”
After taking a quick bite, Do-goe opened the door and went inside. The first thing that caught his eye was Rimmer, who was laying the floor of the training ground.
“What kind of wind is blowing?”
Do-gae approached Rimmer and lowered his eyebrows deeply.
“Is it crazy to come out early in the morning for two months to prepare for training, and not even have a shadow in the gambling hall?”
While Raon was away at the Holy Sword Training Center, Rimmer came to the training ground early in the morning to prepare for the swordsmen’s training, and concentrated on his own training at night when everyone else left.
It was so different from the Rimmer he knew that he was worried that the world
would be ruined.
It was like seeing that elf when he first came to Sieghart.
“No, why do I get criticized even though I live honestly?”
Rimmer shrugged his shoulders as if he was dumbfounded.
“Since there is no owner, you are acting as the assistant owner in his place.”
He waved his hand, saying he was just filling Raon’s empty spot.
“You’re so funny and embarrassed!”
Do-gae lowered his eyebrows deeply as if he was suspicious.
“You’re now doing something you didn’t do even when you were the head lord?”
“If I had continued to be the leader of Gwangpungdae, I wouldn’t have done it.”
Rimmer shook his head as he looked at the well-trodden floor of the training ground.
“But now the main owner is Raon. “I don’t want to ruin that guy’s face.”
He smiled thinly, saying that was all.
“You are serious… .”
Dokai narrowed his eyes as he looked at Rimer, who seemed to have become detached.
“I really think of Raon as a king.”
“I kept saying it. Because he is our king. “It’s still a bit immature, though.”
Rimmer muttered that it would be more different in the future and told her to remember it well.
“joy. “Your king, not ours.”
Do-gae shook his head resolutely.
“You’ve already given in to your heart and you’re just acting the other way.”
Rimmer chuckled as he looked at the thieves.
“The reason you came at this hour is because of Raon.”
“Huh, don’t talk nonsense! I just ask… .”
“What kind of person is this guy who pants like a puppy when he sees the alcohol
that Ra-on brings every time he returns?”
He stuck out his tongue as if he knew everything.
“Who, who’s the puppy!”
The swordsman gritted his teeth with his face turning red.
“Well, regardless of whether it’s a dog or a cat, Raon will come looking different,
so we shouldn’t just stay still.”
Rimmer said that was all and reorganized the training hall again.
“I just ask one question. “What should we do if Raon has no interest in Gaju?”
Do-gae stood in front of Rimmer with serious eyes. Depending on her answer, she seemed poised to crush Rimer.
“It is my wish for Raon to become the head of the family, but it doesn’t matter if that doesn’t happen. “Isn’t it the duty of a subject to follow the man whom he has already appointed as king wherever he goes?”
Rimmer shrugged, saying that was all.
“hmm… .”
As if this was an unexpected answer, Do-goe relaxed his grip.
“And don’t pay any attention to me, pay attention to the other side. Every time at
this time… .”
When Rimmer shook his head, a strong tremor occurred in the direction of the family battle.
The entire Sieghardt began to shake as if an earthquake had occurred.
“Because that old man falls off his feet due to Raon withdrawal and is causing earthquakes every day!”
Rimer screamed, pointing at the Gajujeon shaking from side to side.
“I can’t sleep anyway because of that person!”
* * *
Rektar held a small banquet in the mansion’s dance hall before Raon’s return.
Although the scale was incomparably smaller than Sieghardt’s festival, the wine and food were grown by the swordsmen themselves, so it was filled with unique tastes and scents.
-that! Try that one first!
‘You only have to say it once to understand.’
Raon put the pumpkin pie pointed out by Lars into his mouth.
The crunchy bread, sweet pumpkin, and peanuts seeping in between the two created a strange harmony.
-That’s fascinating! It tastes healthy, but I’m always drawn to it!
‘I know. ‘The first taste is boring, but I keep pulling at it.’
Raon agreed with Lars and put another pie into his mouth.
-It doesn’t have a flashy or spicy taste, but you can feel the sincerity. Sometimes this is okay.
Lars said he liked it and took a long sip.
‘Anyway, it’s tricky.’
-It’s not that the king is picky, it’s that you are dull!
He shouted at me not to talk nonsense and motioned for me to try a new food.
‘okay. okay.’
Raon turned his gaze to the right as he headed towards the food Ras wanted to eat.
Burren, Marta, and Runan were talking with the swordsmen of the Holy Sword Training, and perhaps because they sparred every day, they felt a sense of familiarity, like comrades in arms.
‘It’s a good thing I brought you here.’
In the end, although they did not overcome the barrier to Grand Master, all three
of them rose to the highest level of Master.
If I had the chance, I could break down the wall at any time, so it was a huge advantage.
‘Of course, he is the one who made the biggest change.’
Raon smiled a small smile as he watched Dorian moving around the banquet hall
as if it were his own home.
With his unique friendliness, he seemed to have built up a friendship with everyone at Seonggeomryeon, and made people laugh by distributing supplies here and there.
‘Uneducated growth itself is at the level of dust, but… .’
I became stronger than anyone else.
I didn’t understand it yet, but if Dorian fought with his mind’s eyes open, he would be able to defeat even a stronger swordsman.
Reading another person’s thoughts was such a deceptive ability.
‘Of course I… .’
Raon smiled and turned his head to make eye contact with Lawrence. He was leaning against the wall and glaring at himself fiercely, as if he was angry about something.
“Lawrence?”
Raon approached Lawrence and tilted his head.
“What’s wrong?”
“there’s nothing!”
Lawrence lowered his eyebrows as if to pay attention.
“… ah!”
Raon looked at Lawrence and smiled slightly.
“Are you sad that I’m leaving? Ah, loneliness as expected… .”
“What kind of bullshit are you talking about? “I feel refreshed inside!”
Lawrence waved his hand to stop being crazy. He was so embarrassed that the alcohol in his hand splashed everywhere.
“You’re right.”
Zalek came up next to him and nodded.
“Because that guy cried because you were leaving.”
He laughed, saying that Lawrence shed tears during a drinking party with Rektar.
“This old man has become senile! “Who cries!”
“You cried because Raon left. He said he felt like he would be alone again… .”
“Shut your mouth! Do you want to join us? yes?”
Lawrence’s face turned red and he shouted at Zalek.
“Can I join in? “After meditating for a few days, a new inspiration came to me.”
Raon grinned and pointed at himself.
“You shut up!”
Lawrence held his head and told him to please shut up.
While everyone was having a good time, a man appeared at the beginning of the
rocky mountain leading to Seonggeomryeon.
The red-haired man, whose eyes were covered with a black eyepatch, had his torn robe draped over his shoulders and his mouth was twisted.
“also… “Did you come here?”
