Episode 859
“ha… .”
Cheryl, who was leaning against Tiger Rock like Rimmer, let out a heavy sigh.
“It looks like we’re going now.”
She chewed her lips thinly as she watched the Gwangpungdae swordsmen leaving the 5th training hall.
“They are better than me.”
Roen looked at the wind blade and put his hands together in front of him.
“I haven’t been able to send Rimmer away yet, but it seems like the Gwangpungdae people have made up their minds to some extent.”
He said he was ashamed of his age and laughed.
“It can’t be helped. I had some time with that damn guy… .”
Cheryl frowned deeply. Her complexion was dark, as if she, too, had not yet acknowledged Li Mer’s death.
“A prosecutor always lives with death on his back.”
Glenn, standing on Tiger Rock, parted his lips heavily.
“However, if that swordsman dies, the death he was carrying on his back will turn into a blade and become lodged in the hearts of those who remain.”
Glenn said that he was still accepting the blade left behind by Rimmer and muttered to him to be patient.
“Yes. “All the rest of us can do is accept it.”
Despite her words of acceptance, Cheryl clenched her fists until her arms trembled.
“You damn bastard.”
Unlike when she showed her strong side in front of the Gwangpungdae, her eyes were red with tears.
“He was a really nice person.”
Roen looked up at the blue sky and touched the tiger rock.
“Every time, he came to my workplace and made a mess.”
“… “Isn’t that a good person? He’s just crazy.”
Cheryl let out a laugh as if she was dumbfounded.
“I often work alone, so I think they spent time with me because they were worried that I might get lonely. “Sometimes, when I couldn’t control my life, I received sparring.”
Roen nodded, saying that Rimmer visited often and helped in many ways.
“That guy?”
“yes. 5 Everyone would think that if he wasn’t at the training hall, he had gone to a gambling house, but Rimmer wandered around Sieghart and spent time with many people. “He had a talent for making people happy just by being around him.”
He said he was a light-hearted but serious person and put his hands together.
“Especially when he told the story of Gwangpungdae, his eyes sparkled. “Raon and the other prosecutors were so proud.”
Roen laughed, saying that thanks to that, he was able to find out most of the news without having to go to the 5th training camp.
“It was like that for me too. Even if Raon did something small, he would come to Gajujeon and tell her the truth all day long. “It was like watching the father of a baby showing off how to walk.”
Glenn said he sympathized and smiled softly.
“He would have been the one who would have been most excited to see Raon ascend to transcendence. So he must have gone away smiling.”
He licked his lips as if he regretted not having seen that face.
“…….”
Cheryl lowered her head as she listened to the two people talking.
“Oh, now that I think about it, there’s one more.”
Roen looked at Cheryl and raised his index finger.
“Rimer was very happy when talking about Cheryl.”
“yes? My story… .”
Cheryl tilted her head as if asking what he was saying.
“She often asked me for help, telling me what conversations she had and how she fought.”
Roen lowered his eyes and opened them, saying that the people who made Rimmer the most happy were Cheryl and Gwangpungdae.
“I heard it often too.”
Glenn looked down at Cheryl and rested his chin.
“Even when you were embarrassed or did something good, you came to me and chatted.”
He told me that most of Rimmer’s chatter was Cheryl and Gwangpungdae.
“That idiot… .”
Cheryl gritted her teeth, covering her face with her hair.
“Why aren’t you talking to me?”
She poured out her resentment toward Rimmer in a shaky voice.
“…….”
Glenn and Roen waited without saying a word, as if they felt Cheryl’s feelings.
“… Actually, I wanted to go.”
Cheryl held her trembling wrist as she watched the Gwangpungdae leaving the 5th training ground.
“I wanted to give him his last memento, but I thought it was right to give it up to the children who lost their teacher.”
She narrowed her eyes with a mixture of regret and bitterness.
“Even if no one else knows, Rimmer will know.”
Glenn patted Cheryl on the shoulder and told her not to worry.
“no. That idiot won’t know. Just for now… .”
Cheryl sighed and wiped away the tears from her eyes.
“I just hope those children overcome all their sadness and come back.”
She waved her hand as if to say hello to the stormtrooper disappearing from sight.
“okay. Gwangpungdae will definitely grow and come back. When that day comes, just as Rimmer had hoped… .”
Glenn nodded with deeply sunken eyes.
“We can promote Raon and Gwangpungdae to Jeon.”

Raon straightened his knees, looking at the gently burning bonfire.
-What do you mean?
After finishing the meal and having a late-night snack, Lars quenched his appetite and asked.
‘I still don’t feel like I’ve reached transcendence.’
Even though I had reached the realm of transcendence that I had longed for, I did not feel a sense of accomplishment that I had become stronger.
Rather, the desire to go higher only grew.
-In essence, a mountain appears high before you climb it, and low after you climb it.
Lars waved his round finger left and right.
-You have already climbed the mountain of transcendence, so it is natural for you to look low. He said that if he had stayed at Grandmaster he would still have looked like a huge wall.
‘I guess so.’
Raon nodded, looking at Lars, who was floating like a cloud.
-Besides, ever since your earpiece died, you’ve only been looking straight ahead. Like a racehorse made to run with its eyes covered.
Lars sighed briefly.
-Because you experienced the death of a deaf person, you are scolding yourself by promising that you never want to lose another person again.
The guy shook his head, saying that if it weren’t for that, he wouldn’t have trained all night long even on the day of the party.
‘… ‘It seems so.’
Raon let out a heavy breath. As Lars said, he could not enjoy the state of transcendence, and he was only running towards higher levels.
‘Because I don’t want to lose anyone anymore.’
I didn’t want to lose anyone in Sieghart, not just the Gwangpungdae swordsmen, so I wanted to become strong like Glenn and solve everything.
‘Unexpected.’
Raon looked at Ras and smiled.
‘I didn’t know you knew me this well.’
-Because this King also experienced it.
Lars looked away as if he had experienced the same thing.
‘You went through the same thing? Come to think of it, before… .’
When Raon was about to ask Lars about the past, a sobbing sound was heard from the right.
When I turned my gaze, I saw Yua, who was on guard duty with me, sobbing with her face buried in her knees.
“Are you a toddler?”
Raon approached YooA and grabbed her shoulder.
“what’s the matter?”
“… “It reminds me of Rimmer.”
Yua shook her head without raising her face.
“When I was on guard like this, he would always get up and talk to me. That reminds me… .”
She sobbed, saying that she thought of Rimmer and started crying without realizing it.
“don’t cry… .”
Julius, who was also on watch duty, bit his lip as if he missed Rimmer.
“We must not waver. “He needs to show a strong side so he can leave with peace of mind.”
Contrary to what he said to Yua, Julius could not hold back his sadness and his face turned red.
ha.
Raon sighed briefly as he looked at Yua and Julius, who were trying to hold back their tears.
‘Come to think of it… .’
I couldn’t even congratulate you properly.
Yua and Julius, in their anger over Rimmer’s death, broke down the master’s wall and pulled out Kang Ki.
It hasn’t stabilized yet, so I can’t use my strength freely, but it’s clear that I’ve become a master, but I remembered that I haven’t been able to congratulate him until now.
‘Actually, it’s the same for me too.’
Although he had also reached transcendence, he had no time to celebrate. She didn’t even want to take it.
But I felt sorry for those children because they would be different.
“Then let’s cry just for today.”
Raon sat between Yua and Julius and pulled the two children’s heads into his arms.
Now, to everyone’s eyes, the two of them were adults, but to him, they were still delicate children who needed help.
Ugh.
Yua sobbed loudly, pounding her chest, while Julius held back and shed tears like chicken droppings.
First, a very faint sound of sobbing could be heard from the tent where Gwangpungdae was sleeping.
Raon closed his eyes while holding Rimmer’s sword tightly.
‘Than you think. No, of course, Master’s vacancy is very empty.’
I thought everyone had accepted their sadness, but it seems like they were still missing Rimmer somewhere in their hearts.
I was sad, yet strangely happy, because I learned what Rimmer meant to Gwangpungdae.
Raon closed his eyes, feeling the clean wind blowing as if comforting him.
- * *
Phew.
Raon let out a heavy breath as he looked at the green world. Great forest. The huge green land that protects the elves’ sacred land, Seifia, filled the field of view.
When I saw the natural mana that was thicker than anywhere else and the bushes spread everywhere, the face of Rimmer, who had come here with me, naturally came to mind.
‘I felt stupid even back then.’
At that time, Rimmer had forgotten that he was an elf, and was shown having a conversation with the forest for the first time.
It was ridiculous, but I naturally laughed because it was a Rimmer-like thing to do.
“Umm… .”
Yua joked to Rimmer at the time, asking if she was really an elf, and she seemed to remember that incident as well, her lips quivering.
“How do I get in here?”
Martha frowned as she looked at the dense forest with not a single gap in sight.
“It’s a naturally created maze, so you can’t go there without a unit leader, right?”
She waved her hand, saying she didn’t want to get lost.
“I sent word that we were going, so if you wait here, they will come to meet you.”
Burren answered calmly and crossed his arms.
“… “It smells good.”
Runan said she liked the scent of the forest and hugged Yua, whose shoulders were shaking.
“Let’s wait. As Buren said, the Guardian will come.”
Raon stepped back, telling him to wait here.
Since I was here to return Rimmer’s belongings, I didn’t want to go too far and ruin the forest.
However, even after waiting for over an hour, no elves came out of the forest, and there was no sign of any wild animals.
“Isn’t this a little strange?”
Crane frowned, saying it was too late.
“I see. It’s not like you’re a teacher, and the elves won’t forget their promise… .”
Dorian also thought it was strange and clenched his chin.
“Master is also an elf.”
“ah!”
Dorian gasped and covered his mouth at Buren’s words.
“Let’s go in.”
Raon turned his wrist and approached the main forest again.
“It’s a maze. How do you find the way?”
Marta narrowed her eyes as if asking if it would be okay.
“I think we can open the way.”
Raon nodded and stretched out his hand toward the bush.
‘Just like the Master did.’
Remembering that Rimmer had opened a path, he brought in Garunua’s wind and created a path leading to the natural mana that spread across the great forest.
Whoa!
As Garunua’s wind penetrated into the mana of the great forest, the bushes that rose up without any gaps were pushed to the left and right as if they had a will, creating a path to enter.
Raon’s fingertips trembled as he looked at the bushes and trees swaying slightly as if welcoming him.
I felt strange as I recreated the scenery that Rimmer had opened with my own strength.
“W-what!”
Crane opened his mouth.
“Is this even possible for you, Lord?”
He trembled his chin as if wondering if he also had elf blood.
“That’s stupid!”
Marta shook her head and told him not to talk nonsense.
“That… .”
“I can smell the scent of Budjuju.”
Runaan sniffed and nodded.
“that’s right. “I imitated my teacher.”
He nodded, saying that he used the wind of Rimmer to open a path through the forest like an elf.
“You really… .”
Martha let out a sigh as if it was absurd.
“Let’s go in first. “I think it would be best to get to Seifia before nightfall.”
It was when Raon took the lead and was about to advance through the forest.
Coo coo coo coo!
Near the center of the forest, a huge body appeared that seemed to cover the sky, then disappeared in a golden light.
Raon frowned as he looked at the sky that suddenly brightened.
“Dragon?”
