Episode 938
“Go, my lord…?”
Raon let out a sigh as he looked into Glenn’s wrinkled eyes.
“What happened?”
Glenn Sieghardt is a more cool-headed and rational person than anyone he knows. Even though he was worried about Montiro’s loss of communication, he didn’t expect him to react this violently.
My head, which had been so dizzy that I thought I might faint from embarrassment, briefly cleared up.
“Just looking at you shows how dangerous the war here was.”
Glenn bit his lip lightly and tightened his arms around himself.
“Thank you for holding on until the end, Raon.”
He thanked me again and patted me on the back with trembling hands.
“grandfather….”
Glenn’s words of gratitude strangely touched my heart, and I found myself saying the word “grandfather” without realizing it.
-Hey, is that old man finally losing his mind?
Lars took a deep breath, as if he couldn’t understand Glenn.
‘It’s not that you’re senile, it’s that you’re just emotionally agitated.’
It was obvious that Glenn cared more for him than anyone else.
But he always showed a cold side in front of others, so I didn’t know that he would suddenly show his affection in front of everyone.
‘It’s not just emotional, you seem very tired.’
Glenn had been out of breath since he got here, and his eyes looked tired as if he had been up for several nights.
It seemed like it had been in a big fight, as the Transcendent One could not have been tired just from moving here.
‘What should I say? I think my grandfather is a bit blurry… .’
Is it because I’m tired?’
Glenn was unleashing a more magnificent wave of energy than when he sat on Sieghardt’s throne, but he also felt hazy, like the morning mist dispersing before the sun. It was confusing because I felt two incompatible sensations at the same time.
-No, you saw it correctly.
Lars narrowed his eyes, as if to say that what he had felt was right.
‘What are you talking about…?’
As Raon was about to ask Lass a question, he heard the sound of the ground collapsing, and people gathered around the fountain.
“Where, my lord?”
“How is the lord here?”
“huh…?”
Burren, Martha, and Runaan opened their eyes wide as they saw Glenn holding them.
“You guys, come here too.”
Glenn lifted his head slightly and gestured to Burren, Martha, and Runaan.
“Yeah….”
“Me, us too?”
“hmm!”
Burren and Martha stood there in bewilderment, but Runaan kicked the ground without hesitation and stood next to Raon.
“Good job.”
Glenn approached Lunan first and hugged her gently, just like Raon.
“are you okay….”
Runaan said it was okay and patted Glenn on the back in return.
“Huh!”
“uh…?”
As soon as Burren and Martha saw Glenn hugging Runaan, they broke the floor and ran towards Glenn.
“Thank you all for overcoming the difficult fight.”
Glen nodded, hugging Burren, Martha, and Runaan all at once.
“hmm….”
Raon let out a low groan as he watched Glenn’s voice tremble slightly.
‘What happened?’
It seemed as if the person had changed, as he expressed his emotions like that to everyone, not just himself.
“Laon. Can you tell me what kind of fight took place here?”
“Well, I’m sure you all know the plan, so I’ll explain from then on.”
Raon briefly reported the war with Black Tower to Glenn, who was comforting the three captains.
“Oh, father?”
When I was almost done telling the story of the war, Karun, who had been treated for his injuries, came out of the infirmary.
He seemed embarrassed when he saw Glenn holding Burren, Martha, and Runaan, and he said the word father first, not the head of the household.
“…What is going on?”
“Ah, um… .”
Only then did Glenn realize that he hadn’t been paying much attention to the eyes of those around him, and he let out a low groan as he released his arms from holding the children and sat up.
“How did you get here and why are you hugging the children…?”
Karun’s eyes fluttered like a sailboat being hit by waves, as if he couldn’t believe what he was seeing.
“Your role was big. You worked hard.”
Glenn walked slowly and stood in front of Karun. He closed his eyes for a moment as if he was thinking, then opened them and gave Karun a light hug.
“Oh, father?”
Karun trembled all over, unable to even open his eyes. He was more confused than when the Black Tower Lord broke through the ceiling.
‘Your father hugged you and praised you?’
As the son of Glenn Sieghardt, I have accomplished many things, but this is the first time he has given me such praise.
I was so shocked and astonished that my head felt dizzy.

“Your Majesty.”
Raon called Glenn while holding his throbbing temple.
“It is said that all communications with the Five Emperors have been cut off. It is clearly the work of Oma, so we must move quickly…”
“Okay.”
Glenn turned around and shook his head blandly.
“Owen was attacked, but everywhere else is safe.”
“hmm….”
Raon frowned as he watched the Third Prince Greer from afar. As expected, while they were attacking the Black Tower, Oma seemed to have attacked Owen.
“Whoever hit Owen…?”
“Yes. It’s Derus Robert.”
Glenn lowered his chin, saying he had been fighting with Derus Roberts.
“You’ve gotten a lot stronger. I don’t think there’s anyone among the leaders of the Five Emperors that can stand up to you.”
He frowned, saying that Delus’s power was at the top among the Five Emperors.
‘Is that why you looked so tired?’
Now I understand why Glenn was having a hard time. He must have used up a lot of energy going to Owen to stop Derus and flying all the way here.
‘But you got stronger?’
Did you receive the power of the celestials?
The time that Derus was gone wasn’t that long. It didn’t make sense that he had grown strong enough to be recognized by Glenn in that short period of time.
“Well, then my father… .”
Prince Greer, unable to bear it any longer, ran out and stood in front of Glenn.
“He’s injured, but he’s fine. He’s a strong person by nature, so you don’t have to worry.”
Glenn nodded, saying that he would recover sufficiently.
“ha….”
The third prince sat down on the spot as if his tension had completely relaxed.
‘Thank goodness.’
Raon sighed in relief as he looked at the three princes.
‘Now, we can’t afford to lose even one person.’
In order to win the war with Oma, our forces cannot be reduced any further.
When I heard that Recross had survived and that the other Emperors were safe, my wavering heart calmed down a little.
“Well, that’s strange. Only Derus hit Owen, and left the rest alone… .”
Raon frowned as he recalled the disgusting face of Derus Robert.
“If they had heard the news of our surprise attack and moved, they would have been able to attack Matap, Balkar, and the Beast Alliance.”
Of course, there were other preparations, but if the White Blood Cult and Eden had attacked together, the entire continent would have become a battlefield, so it was suspicious that they didn’t aim for that.
“Just in case, let’s do some additional research…”
“Without information, it’s impossible to know what his intentions are. Right now….”
Glenn shook his head slowly and hugged Raon again.
“Take a rest.”
“Yes? But… Ah.”
As he caressed my back, the fatigue from the past days came rushing back to me like waves, and my whole body lost its strength.
Whoa whoa.
Glenn’s gentle touch brought back warm memories, like when I was a child and fell asleep while practicing the Ring of Fire.
‘Not yet… .’
Raon fell asleep without realizing it, as if he had fallen asleep next to Sylvia for the first time in a long time.
* * *
Squeak.
Glenn opened the door to the hospital room, which had a crack in the wall, and went inside. He nodded as he stood in front of a cute-looking girl with a candy in her mouth.
“Thank goodness you woke up.”
“Someone caused a big accident and it was noisy outside. Thanks to that, I woke up.”
Chambers narrowed his eyes as he took a bite of the candy.
“What happened to Mr. Ice, who never even smiled at his family? He hugged the kids in front of everyone.”
She shook her head as if she didn’t understand.
“Are you feeling okay?”
“Thanks to the saintess of Super, all the wounds on my body have healed.”
Chambers nodded, saying that Saint Olga was surprisingly attentive to trauma.
“However, the condition of the upper body is not good.”
She tapped her forehead, saying it was dangerous.
“Top battle… .”
Glenn groaned softly as he ran his fingers through Chamber’s hair. He didn’t have to look too closely to see that her mind was in shock.
“I have to heal this wound. It’ll take quite some time.”
Chambers sighed briefly, saying that it was going to be a boring time.
“Don’t worry though. You will definitely recover.”
She waved her candy-holding hand, saying she could participate in the next war.
“Of course I believe it.”
Glenn nodded calmly.
“What? Why are you so affectionate today?”
Chambers muttered something strange and rubbed his goosebump-ridden arm.
“I asked you earlier what was the wind that made you hug the kids?”
Glenn pursed his lips as he looked into Chamber’s narrowed eyes.
“I met Derus Robert before coming here.”
“what…?”
Chambers opened his eyes wide as if he hadn’t heard that yet.
“You finally came! Where were you!”
“Owen. King Recross has been struck.”
“Seo, you’re not dead, are you?”
She threw off the covers and sat up at the sound of Recross’s words.
“I’m much better than you, don’t worry. My external and internal injuries are severe, but my lower abdomen is fine.”
Glenn told Chambers to worry about himself and laid him back on the bed.
“Haaah….”
Chambers let out a long breath, seemingly relieved at the news that Recross was safe.
“Wait a minute! So Recross got attacked by Delus? That pathetic guy!”
“He was strong.”
Glenn shook his head at the angry Chamber.
“It wouldn’t have been easy even if you and Recross had both gone at it.”
“…That’s it?”
“okay.”
He nodded resolutely, as if he were certain of it.
“Wait, so you’re using the mind sword again?”
Chambers frowned as if he had only just noticed the change in Glenn.
“okay.”
Glenn looked out the window and let out a short breath.
“When contact with Montiro was lost and no news was received, Derus Robert told me that Raon and Karun were dead.”
“hmm….”
Chambers gritted his teeth as he looked into Glenn’s sunken eyes.
“As you know, the sword of the mind is a sword that has surpassed even the boundary of transcendence. It could have killed Delus or the angel next to him. However, when I heard that Raon and Karun were dead, I could not swing the sword until the end.”
Glenn’s wrinkled hands shook as if he was still troubled.
“But thanks to that, I realized how much I cherish Raon, Karun, and the children of the family. Isn’t that funny? I only realized it now because of the enemy’s lies?”
He turned up his lips as if he was mocking himself.
“Ascension is the dream and ideal of all unmanned beings. It was a path I also longed for in my dreams, but now I don’t want to leave. I want to stay on this land and watch Raon and the others grow.”
Glenn lowered his head heavily, saying that he would rather remain on this continent than become weaker.
“So that’s why you hugged Raon and the kids in front of the square. Now I get it.”
Chambers smiled faintly, saying that he only now understood.
“You’ve aged quite a bit, sir. When you were young, you ignored even your own blood relatives and caused a commotion, but in your old age, you’ve just become a very affectionate grandfather.”
“Well, I have nothing to say….”
Glenn lowered his eyebrows as if he regretted those younger days.
“But I think you might be able to live long enough for Raon to see his grandchild.”
Chambers shook his head as if to tell her not to worry.
“What does that mean?”
“When ascending, you have to get rid of all the five desires and seven emotions of a human being. You have to become a being different from a human being. But since you have developed human emotions, aren’t you different?”
She waved her hand as if telling me to think about it.
“hmm….”
“And don’t just do it today. Be kind to the kids in the future too.”
Chambers smiled and told him not to change for just one day and to keep his current state of mind.
“Because children need constant praise.”
* * *
“Hmm….”
Raon opened his eyes with difficulty. Looking out the window at the sea, it seemed like he was still in Montiro.
‘Well, that would be better.’
The medical skills and divine powers of Saint Olga are not far behind those of Saint Frederick the Rag.
It would have been better for her to remain in Montiro and continue her treatment there.
-Are you awake now?
Lars snorted in disappointment.
‘How much did I sleep?’
-Two days.
The guy frowned, pointing out the darkened window.
-Even after reaching that level, you still sleep for two days, and the king misses twelve meals!
‘…Why twelve meals?’
Raon looked at Las with bewildered eyes.
-Three meals a day plus three snacks for the king. Isn’t that six meals a day?
‘…….’
In the past, they used to say they ate four meals a day, but now they eat six meals a day. I’m starting to wonder more and more if this is the devil or a carnivore.
‘Still, that’s fortunate.’
Raon snickered as he watched Las cry out that he was hungry.
-Thank goodness? What do you mean?
‘Every time we fight a dangerous war like this, you would come down and pour your strength into it, but now you don’t do that.’
Every time I met a transcendent being or a demon lord, I survived thanks to Ras’s intervention, but every time he used his power without regard for causality, my soul was greatly shocked.
But this time, Chamber fought to the end and captured the Black Tower, and with the help of Rust and Gluttony, they were able to push Grid away as well.
It felt good to see Lars looking fine even after the big fight.
-Uh, um… .
Lass let out a low groan, as if he had never thought anyone would think of him that way.
-Look, the King is the Lord of the Demon World! There’s no need to worry about the likes of you!
The guy turned his head away, his face flushed red, telling me not to worry about him. He said it in a displeased tone, but it seemed like he was embarrassed.
‘Yeah. Yeah.’
Raon chuckled and lightly patted Ras’ head.
‘Where are Rust and Gluttony now?’
-Rust is….
Lars looked up into the air, his whole body trembling.
-Even now, I have turned into fog and am watching you. It’s so scary and boring, I could die… .
The guy sniffled without even looking up at the ceiling.
‘Oh, I see… .’
Raon let out a sigh of relief as he looked at the pink air currents that were faintly twinkling in the air. He felt that Rust was watching him now.
-Gluttony is going around this town eating all the food! If he doesn’t get up, we’ll run out of food!
‘I guess you had money after all.’
Gluttony said he had come because he had run out of money, but it seemed as if he had come to help himself, as expected.
I keep feeling that the Celestials and Demons are very different from the myths handed down on this continent.
-I was worried about you until you passed out, but are you okay now?
‘Derrus? Of course I’m worried.’
It’s true that I’m still worried about why Derus was targeting Owen and why the other Omars didn’t move.
If that’s the case, he must have had intentions.
But whether you know the reason or not, all you can do now is recover and become stronger.
‘I need to get stronger.’
As Raon clenched his fists, vowing to climb higher, the door to the hospital room opened and Olga came in, carrying bandages and medicine.
“You’re up already? Your body isn’t made of steel.”
Olga shook her head, surprised that it happened in two days, unlike Lars.
“The wound wasn’t particularly bad.”
Raon shook his head as he examined the bandaged body.
“The physical wounds weren’t that severe, but the mental shock was great. Although not as severe as Chambers, your upper body was on the verge of collapse.”
Olga frowned, wondering what on earth she had done.
“I just fought hard. How’s the situation outside?”
Raon changed his words and gestured to Olga.
“It’s been sorted out to some extent. Owen’s knights have left first, and the rest are preparing to leave this place to the rearguard and return. Now that you’re awake, Sieghart will leave as well.”
Olga shook her head, saying she was the last to wake up.
“you?”
Raon narrowed his eyes as he looked at Olga’s tattoo, which had become darker.
“We should return too. The king cannot be away from the kingdom for long, right?”
Olga put her hand down, saying she would stay a little longer and then come back.
“Then let the king go, and you go with me.”
“What? What is that…?”
“Your constitution.”
Raon nodded calmly as he looked at the black tattoos covering Olga’s arms and legs.
“I can fix it now.”
