Episode 882
After deleting the reward message, Raon looked back.
Burren, Marta, Runaan, and Cheryl were looking at him with many questions in their eyes.
‘It’s worth seeing like that.’
Even though it was a conversation with Askara, the words “Demon Lord” and “Demon World” came up constantly, so it was natural to have questions like that.
-What are you going to do?
Lars moistened his lips with his tongue as if he was more nervous.
‘How can I do it? ‘I have no choice but to say it.’
Glenn and Rektar know that Ras is their friend and the devil. Since the people here were just as trustworthy as those two, it seemed like the right thing to say now.
-Really?
‘look.’
Raon smiled slightly as he looked into the eyes of Burren, Marta, and Runan, who were slowly getting up.
‘No matter what you say, you have the look in your eyes to believe it.’
The three leaders of the Gwangpungdae were confused, but did not turn their eyes. It meant that he believed in himself no matter what happened. Even though he was unconscious, Dorian would be no different.
‘and… .’
I looked at Cheryl lowering her dual swords. She was more embarrassed than others as she had heard a lot, but she did not come forward. It means listening to her first. She said Cheryl was also someone she could trust.
-Well, then… .
Ras’ hands trembled as he looked at Runaan and Marta.
-Finally, King Bon can meet the Ice Cream Girl and the Beef Girl!
The guy seemed to be in a good mood and jumped around in the air. It’s been so long since he poured out insults at the system that he has already lost his emotions. He was truly a consistent devil.
“Raon… .”
Cheryl approached with heavy steps.
“Can you explain what happened? Why do you speak strangely, and why did that demon call you the demon king?”
She looked at herself with trust despite her confusion.
– Such insolence!
Lars threw a fat fist at Cheryl.
-The king’s way of speaking is strange! It’s just cool!
The guy grabbed Cheryl by the collar and shook her, telling her to apologize right away.
“I heard it too.”
Buren nodded, holding his burned shoulder.
“Some say he is a monarch, some say he is a demon lord.”
He gave me a calm look as if asking me to explain what he meant.
“Don’t rush me. “Just wait and I’ll tell you.”
Marta, who seemed like she would step forward before anyone else, instead calmly suppressed her emotions.
“huh. clearly.”
Runan, like Marta, calmly closed his eyes as if he had decided to wait.
“also.”
Raon smiled softly as he looked at Sheryl and the three team members.
“also?”
Marta tilted her head as if she didn’t understand.
“It’s not difficult to talk. actually… .”
As Raon was about to tell him what was going on, stones and dirt began to collapse and fall from the ceiling.
“First, let’s wake up the others and get out of here.”
Even now, Askara’s fighting spirit was so intense that it sent shivers down my spine, and not only this basement, but the entire tunnel was threatening to collapse.
Even if you and Cheryl were trapped, there was no way out if you were trapped underground, so getting out of here was the priority right now.
“okay. “That should come first.”
Cheryl nodded and woke up Borgos and the dwarven craftsmen.
“hey! Dorian! wake up!”
Martha also kicked Dorian, who was unconscious and drooling.
“Huh!”
Dorian jumped up as if he had been electrocuted.
“what! Apparently a strange monster came out… .”
He opened his eyes blankly, muttering that it was a dream.
“That’s it! “Hurry up and get people on their backs!”
Burren slapped Dorian’s forehead, who was unable to come to his senses, and pointed to the craftsmen who were having trouble walking on their own.
“yes? “Suddenly what?”
“ceiling… .”
Runaan raised his finger and pointed at the ceiling. Her makeshift pillar of frost cracked and stones and dirt continued to fall.
“Huh!”
Dorian nodded as if he finally understood and carried the three seriously injured dwarves at once.
“Borgos, please ride on my back.”
Raon carried Borgos on his back and tried to climb up, but stopped. As his excitement subsided, the pain in his internal organs, which he had forgotten about, suddenly became stronger. Because the Danjeon and the mana circuit around it were torn, it was not easy to walk on one’s own feet, let alone carry someone else.
“Ugh, benefactor! “I will walk on my feet, so let me down.”
Borgos also seemed to realize that he was not in the right condition and struggled with his legs, saying he was going to get off.
“Gwae, it’s okay.”
When Raon forced himself to walk, Cheryl, who was standing in front, approached him.
“I’ll carry you, so just follow me.”
Cheryl seemed to already be aware of his condition and held Borgos in her arms even though two people were carrying him on his back. Although he was small, he looked like a giant carrying two adults on his back and holding Borgos with his arms.

“sorry.”
“What are you sorry about? “If it weren’t for you, we would all have died.”
Cheryl said to just follow behind and stepped forward again.
“yes.”
Raon let out a long sigh and walked behind Cheryl, who was taking the lead.
“Then the great lord caught that monster?”
Dorian took a deep breath, as if remembering Askara who had broken through the dimension.
“As expected, Great Lord! “I believed it!”
“I didn’t catch it. “Why do you believe it when you faint?”
Raon looked back at Dorian and snorted.
“Even though I fainted, I still believed in the Lord in my heart!”
Dorian shook his head, saying he was serious.
“Okay, take care of the injured.”
“yes!”
He smiled and gave strength to the arms holding the people, as if telling them not to worry.
“hmm… .”
Raon forced his heavy legs to move and lowered his eyebrows slightly. Even though the excitement had already subsided, it did not become more difficult, but rather my insides and body began to feel at ease.
‘what?’
No matter how much of a transcendent he was and how many characteristics he possessed, he was not able to quickly recover from the shock of the dantian itself. It was a good thing, but it was so strange that I wondered if it might actually be a bad thing.
-It’s because of that damn guy’s jealousy.
Lars frowned at himself.
‘speculation?’
-That’s the speculation you gained through your damn acting!
The guy clicked his tongue for a long time.
-Balrog, as a battle demon, has the adaptability to fight anytime, anywhere. What you got was the fighting spirit of the Balrog King, so your injuries are laughable.
Lars sighed, saying that he had gained the strength of a piece of shit.
‘I see.’
As I slowly examined the energy inside my body, I saw that the Balrog energy in the liver was moving on its own, filling the wounds in the torn dantian and mana circuit.
-It’s a little different from treatment, but you’ll be able to endure it.
‘I guess so.’
-Ugh! You give that kind of power to someone who doesn’t even know anything about this!
Lars said he was going to die because it was a waste and punched the air.
‘Maybe that’s why I got it.’
Raon smiled and walked faster.
“uh? “Are you okay?”
Dorian voiced his concern, telling me not to walk too fast.
“It’s worth holding on to.”
Raon nodded and followed right behind Sheryl. He was slow, but when he moved quickly, he was able to reach the Gray Hammer Guild’s base before the entire underground space collapsed.
“This place is collapsing too. “I have to go out.”
Cheryl shook her head as she watched the rocks fall onto the ashes of the workshop.
“Go, if you’re going to go, let’s go quickly! “I’m going to get crushed!”
Dorian also shook his chin as if he was scared.
“wait!”
Martha shook her head, holding Dorian’s neck.
“yes? But it’s dangerous… .”
“The final greeting will have to wait.”
She raised her finger and pointed behind her.
“… … .”
Borgos and the craftsmen bit their lips as they looked at their colleagues and the workshop burned to the ground. Even if they died here, they didn’t seem to stop giving their final greetings to their comrades.
Cheeeeee!
Runaan protected everyone by putting up a curtain of cold so that Borgos and the artisans could say their final goodbyes to their comrades.
“ha… .”
She, too, bled from her mouth as if she had overexerted herself, but she never let go of the cold.
“let’s go… .”
Borgos nodded, holding up a blackened hammer whose name it belonged to. The artisans followed him to the exit without saying a word.
“Thank you.”
Borgos bowed down to Cheryl and Runaan, who prevented the ceiling and ground from collapsing.
“Because I can understand that feeling.”
Cheryl smiled slightly and nodded.
“huh… .”
Runan calmly closed his eyes as if he was thinking the same thing.
“I think it would be better to go out and say hello. “It’s really dangerous now.”
Burren swallowed dryly as he looked at the rocks and dirt pushing down Runaan’s cold air.
“I understand.”
Borgos nodded and went out to the ground with his craftsmen.
“Let’s go too.”
Raon nodded and gestured to Burren, Marta, Runaan, and Dorian.
“okay… .”
“Ha, even though I saved someone, I still don’t feel good.”
“Rest in peace… .”
Buren, Marta, and Runaan comforted the dead in their own ways and then ascended upward.
“… … .”
It was when I was about to go up Laon for the last time. From inside the collapsing underground village, a very vague negative energy emerged and approached me. He tried to push it away, but the energy returned to the back and seeped into the requiem sword.
‘what?’
It was definitely a bad, negative energy, but I didn’t feel like it would harm me. It felt like a vengeful spirit dwelling within the requiem sword.
‘I’ll have to figure this out later.’
Raon took a short breath and went up to the ground. As soon as he got out, Cheryl’s energy disappeared, and the entire underground village built by the Gray Hammer Guild collapsed, even down to one corner of the mountain.
“It was close.”
Dorian let out a sigh of relief as he looked at the entrance to the underground village, which had a hole in it.
“Umm… .”
Borgos bit his lip as he looked at the tunnel he could no longer return to. The craftsmen also seemed to be so emotional that they shed tears they had been holding back.
“Haaa… .”
Borgos grasped the blood-stained ground with his thick fingers. After gathering his emotions for a while, he approached Raon.
“Can you tell me what happened?”
Borgos bowed his head and asked me to tell him what he had found out.
“of course.”
Raon nodded and explained about the Balrog King, and that the person who called them was the Demon of the Black Tower.
“I guess so. Something like that… .”
Borgos nodded and then knelt down.
“Borgos of the Gray Hammer meets his benefactor.”
“Meet your benefactor!”
Artisans also bowed down with Borgos.
“Don’t do this.”
Raon shook his head, saying that his injuries were getting worse.
“You saved my life and even took revenge on me, but if you can’t even say hello like this, you’re not worth living!”
Borgos buried his head in the ground, asking to be greeted.
“Accept it.”
Cheryl came next to me and held my shoulder.
“Because you deserve to be greeted this way.”
She clenched her chin, thinking it would be rude not to greet her.
“… All right. I will accept it, so please stand up.”
Raon greeted Borgos and held his hand.
“I will make sure to repay this favor.”
Borgos beat his chest and said he would grant any request.
“yes. “I’ll be waiting.”
“no.”
He stood up and shook his head.
“There is no need to wait. “I will begin immediately what my benefactor requested.”
Borgos gritted his teeth and said he would start work right away.
“yes? But in this situation… .”
Raon let out a sigh and his hands trembled.
“No, it’s better to work at a time like now.”
Borgos clenched his fist, saying he felt like he could make a better weapon through his current emotions.
“So do we!”
“I want to work!”
Other artisans and dwarves also nodded, saying they would start work right away.
“Please do me a favor.”
Borgos bowed again, telling them to leave the work to him.
“All right.”
Raon smiled slightly and nodded.
“By the way, where will you be working?”
I couldn’t leave this area because it seemed dangerous because of the black tower.
“I guess I should go to Sieghardt.”
Borgos glanced at himself and licked his lips.
“But do they also accept refugees there?”
* * *
Because the dwarves and artisans had severe burns, they returned to the Sepia family to quickly treat their wounds.
Thanks to Addis, an experienced merchant, having healers and priests on standby in advance, everyone, including Borgos, was able to receive treatment quickly.
“I sighed.”
Burren nodded as he closed the door to the treatment room.
“okay. Fortunately, there will be no lasting scars.”
Marta nodded, wrapping up the bloody bandage.
“Thanks to you. this time.”
She looked at Runaan blankly and nodded.
“me… ?”
Runaan tilted his head as if asking what he was saying.
“Even though you were sweating profusely, you maintained a layer of cold. Otherwise, we might have had to cut out the flesh or cut off the arms and legs.”
Marta nodded, saying well done.
“Nachalnyeo praised me… ?”
Runaan’s eyes widened as if she was truly embarrassed.
“Who do you think is the devil? “I do it when I can too!”
Marta gritted her teeth at Runaan.
“Ugh! “Even if I praise you, it’s meaningless!”
She snorted in annoyance.
“Don’t fight, just rest for now! “I’ll take you to the guest room!”
Dorian stepped between Marta and Runaan and nodded.
“Previously.”
Raon looked at the three leaders and Sheryl and shook his head.
“I have something to say, so let’s go somewhere quiet.”
“yes? Ah, yes!”
Dorian nodded and led everyone into the drawing room. It was a fancy place that seemed to reveal the financial power of the company, but it was well-soundproofed so it was good for quiet conversation.
“But what are you going to say?”
Dorian trembled his legs impatiently.
“Is there anything urgent?”
Raon asked, sitting in the front seat.
“yes. I have to clean out other things before my father comes… .”
Dorian nodded, saying he had to finish the supplies he couldn’t finish.
-No matter how you look at it, this guy is not normal either.
Lars was on the other side, but he shook his head and said that he was crazy at his level.
“If that’s the case, just sit still.”
Raon gently pressed Dorian’s shoulder and sat down in the front seat.
“Lord Heavenly Sword. “No, Cheryl, please sit down too.”
“okay.”
Cheryl seemed to know what she was going to say and sat across from her.
“after… .”
Raon made eye contact with Burren, Marta, Runan, Dorian, and Sheryl in turn.
‘okay. ‘You can trust them.’
There is no need to explain anything about Burren, Marta, Runan, and Dorian, and Cheryl had previously risked her life with Rimmer to save herself and the Stormtroopers. If you don’t trust them, there will be no one in this world you can trust.
“It happened earlier. “The words ‘Demon World,’ ‘Demon Race,’ and ‘Demon King’ came out.”
Raon folded his hands in front and nodded.
“okay. “That burning monster said you were the devil.”
Burren nodded.
“That’s not it, didn’t Raon first say that he was the Demon King?”
Marta shook her head, saying that came first.
“… … .”
Runaan looked at herself without saying a word. He just looked like he believed.
“hmm… .”
Cheryl also said nothing, waiting for her next words.
“yes? What is that… .”
Dorian tilted his head as if wondering what he was saying.
“I am not a devil or a demon. A pure human being. but… .”
Raon glanced at Lars on his shoulder and shook his head.
“The guy with me is the lord of the demon world.”
He explained about Lars next to him.
-Umm… .
Lars’ lips trembled slightly as if he was nervous about explaining himself. It seemed like he was nervous without even knowing how the people he gave affection to would react.
“Demon King… .”
“You’re next to me?”
“… … .”
Burren and Marta widened their eyes as if their hearing was wrong. Runaan just listened quietly.
“Well, that’s right. So, the various things that have happened so far… .”
Dorian nodded, saying that he now understood the absurd things that had happened.
“Isn’t it dangerous?”
Cheryl lowered her head, worrying about herself before anything else.
“yes. On the contrary, it helped me a lot.”
Raon smiled slightly and nodded.
“Meantime… .”
After taking a short breath, I told him everything that had happened so far.
“Uh, all of that?”
“ah… .”
“Then it’s thanks to that demon lord that I bought it!”
Marta, Runan, and Dorian trembled their chins as if they were surprised to receive Ra’s’ help.
“The thing that came out when we were annihilated by the Blue Flame Demon Army… .”
“okay. “It’s this guy.”
Raon nodded to Buren.
“Now, wait! then!”
Buren suddenly stood up.
“The thing on your shoulder was not the sea spirit, but the devil?”
He looked at Ras through the eyes Ras had made for him and wasted some air.
“okay. “Because this guy made your eyes, he can see shapes like he does now.”
Raon poked Lars and smiled slightly.
-Now it’s finally known! It was the King who created your eyes!
Lars raised his chin and said to worship.
“… eww.”
Burren chewed his lip as he looked at Lars.
“I thought the Demon King was just something that had to be defeated, but I never thought something like that was happening behind the scenes… .”
He made eye contact with Lars, who was looking at him, and nodded as if he had made up his mind.
“Thank you. me. And thank you for helping us.”
Buren got down on one knee and bowed his head.
-Who, the one with the eyes said hello?
Lars opened his eyes wide.
-I don’t know about other guys, but I thought that guy would hate demons themselves… .
The guy shook his chin as if he was surprised.
‘Because I’m no longer a stubborn little child.’
Burren was not a kid obsessed with one value. He thought of the help he had received before the negative beings of the demons.
“If there’s anything you want from me, I’ll give it to you.”
Buren nodded, saying he would do what he could.
-Really?
Lars opened his eyes wide.
-Is it really okay to say this?
‘I’ll tell you.’
Raon nodded, looking at Lars with his mouth twitching.
-Well, of course it’s cooking! Tell the king to bring all the dishes he has never tried!
Lars shouted to bring all the food, saying that Buren was rich and would know good food.
“My friend says.”
Raon smiled and nodded.
“I want mysterious and unseen sword techniques. “The more valuable it is, the better.”
-uh… ?
Lars blinked blankly and looked at Raon.
-Bo, when is the real king! Food! Not swordsmanship!
The guy ran around asking what he was doing.
“Ah, not only swordsmanship, but footwork and martial arts are also good?”
Raon smiled again and spoke longer.
“This guy is very interested in human martial arts.”
“Yeah, really? okay. “I’ll bring everything I can.”
Buren clenched his fist as if to wait.
-Are you really a human bastard?
Lars grabbed his head and screamed.
-Even the damn Elyos are not as good as you! Where on earth did you come from?
