Episode 958
“Ugh.”
Raon opened his eyes with a faint scream.
‘I’m definitely dead?’
He remembered the part where his neck was cut off during Las’ surprise attack, but he couldn’t remember anything after that.
‘Are we back to reality?’
I looked around, thinking that I had returned to reality after dying in the space created by the room of the ego.
‘No. This is….’
Raon swallowed dry saliva as he looked at the golden, shimmering land.
‘This is where I first woke up.’
The place where he was resurrected after his death was the boundary between the sandy mountains and the blue sea. He opened his eyes again on the land where he had first awakened when he entered the room of his ego.
‘If I die in my room, will I come back here?’
The tests he had passed were so dangerous that it wouldn’t have been strange if he had been facing death. It wasn’t strange that even death would give him a new chance.
“Phew… .”
Raon leaned back on the floor and let out a long sigh.
‘thank god.’
Since I entered the room of the ego with both my soul and body, I thought that death here could lead to death in reality, but now that I have confirmed that that is not the case, I feel relieved.
Tch.
Raon clicked his tongue deeply as he touched the neck that had been cut off by Las.
‘I never thought I’d see my neck cut off again.’
When I was killed by Ras, I remembered the last moments of my previous life as an assassin, Raon.
He remembered the time when Derus cut off his own throat and shook the blood off his hands like insects, and his anger boiled over him without him knowing it.
“I swore I would never be humiliated like that again….”
I guess it’s still a long way off.
I thought I had grown a lot after catching the Black Tower and coming to the room of self, but I couldn’t even withstand Ras’s attack. Even if he had attacked me by surprise, it was a shame.
‘Is this the same transcendent being?’
He himself is a transcendent being, and so are Glenn and Lars. The scope of transcendent beings is so broad that it seems like another classification is needed among them.
‘No, I’ll think about that later…’
Why did that damn cotton candy attack me?
First of all, I went to see Las after the exam was over, but I was surprised and had my throat cut. I was so flustered.
‘If Lars gets a lot of rewards, I thought about getting a little bit. No, a little bit more…’
I didn’t really steal it!
It wouldn’t have been unfair if he had died while stealing Ras’s power, but it was too unfair that he died after being attacked while practicing.
‘Did you hear what I said about taking 80 percent? Are you really going to take it all? You’re just saying.’
At best, you’ll only get half of it.
I said it was 80%, but in reality, I only thought about half of it, so my heart ached.
‘Anyway, I said he’s a bit old.’
Raon smacked his lips, thinking that if Ras heard that, he would be horrified.
‘But what did I get hit with?’
I don’t even know what hit him and why he died, because the attack came so suddenly.
‘Looking at the neck blown off, did he sharpen the cold air like a sword and blow it away?’
Even if he had let his guard down, it seemed certain that the cold air had been sharpened and shot out to the point where he was unable to react at all.
‘The wall is still high.’
It was embarrassing that I didn’t even detect Lars’ attack. The gap in skill between me and him felt real for the first time in a long time.
‘Still, that’s fortunate.’
Raon licked his lips as he examined his body.
‘I didn’t lose anything in particular.’
Just in case, I checked the status of Muhak, and the grown Mangeom, Manhwagong, and Glacia were all the same.
Although it wasn’t a fantasy world, it seemed like it would have no effect if I died here, just like any other place.
‘Of course it hurt like hell.’
The uneasy feeling of knowing your own death and the pain of feeling like every single cell in your body was disappearing were still there, but fortunately there was no damage.
Wooooow!
As Raon let out a sigh of relief, a round, burning dimensional gate rose from the golden, shimmering ground.
‘Is this the exit?’
As I had initially expected, this land dividing the sandy mountains and the blue sea seemed to be the entrance and exit to the room of the self.
“It’s a bit disappointing, but I gained a lot.”
I regained control of my weakened body and mind, learned the true method of using the Mangeom, and reached the 10-star wall for Manhwagong and the 9-star wall for Glacia. It was a satisfying time as I achieved a lot of growth in a short period of time.
‘of course….’
Raon looked out towards the sea and clenched his molars.
‘I have to get revenge on that damn cotton candy though.’
Even if there was no harm done, the feeling of dying was so disgusting that it sent shivers down my spine. Especially when I lost my head and saw my own body crumbling.
‘How can I get revenge so that people will say I did a good job?’
Even if the two souls entered together, since the subject was himself, the moment he went out through this door, Lars would have to be taken along as well. It was good to think about revenge in reality.
‘No marble ice cream? No eating out? No. They’re both too weak.’
Lasdo’s patience has deepened, so he should be able to tolerate that much.
‘Then is it Nadine bread?’
If he was so angry that he called her the enemy of Nadine Bread, it was clear that he hated it more than starving.
‘Okay. I’ll eat only Nadine bread for a year.’

He can eat any food because he has lived as an assassin for many years.
It wasn’t just rubber-flavored bread, it was real rubber that could be swallowed, so it didn’t matter if you ate only Nadine bread for ten years, not just a year.
‘Let’s wait and see.’
Raon rolled his lips and stretched his legs toward the dimensional gate.
‘So that you can never kill me again. Teach me the real thing with Nadine Bread… Hmm?’
I was about to leave the door, thinking of getting revenge on Lars, but then I stepped back out.
‘wait for a sec.’
Raon took a quick sip while looking out at the blue sea.
‘You’re dead and don’t suffer any harm?’
Death in reality is literally the end, and death in the imaginary world also carries great losses, such as the loss of the soul. However, death here does not cause any problems.
‘this….’
Raon turned his back on the golden exit. He took a long sip as he stood in the blue sea that resembled Las’ hair color.
‘I might have discovered a new opportunity.’
* * *
“Zenjaaaaaaaaaaah!”
Lars screamed, clutching his head with both hands.
“I made a mistake. I made a really f*cking big mistake!”
I was just trying to slap Raon on the cheek with the cold air, but without realizing it, I used too much force and ended up cutting off his neck.
‘But is it really a mistake?’
It’s true that I suddenly became stronger and failed to control my strength. That much was certain.
However, I couldn’t give a definitive answer to the question of whether I had any intention of killing him.
‘Blood rushed to my head.’
As soon as I saw the coldness of the moonlight that I had worked so hard to obtain being stolen by Raon, my hair turned white.
‘and….’
I remembered all the things I’ve been through so far.
He was ignored by the little Raon, had his abilities stolen, sold his name to another Demon Lord and got a bribe, and of all of that, his greatest anger was, of course, about food.
‘Nadine bread…’
The nauseating rubbery taste of the Nadine bread I had eaten until now came to mind, and I used too much force. And it was at a level that Raon couldn’t stop at the moment.
‘I’m sure he’s alive… .’
It’s even scarier.
This is a virtual space created by his and Raon’s souls. Since it was a place where he could not die even if he was killed, Raon would have been revived right away.
‘It would be better if he really died… .’
What should I do now?
Not only Raon, but also the test given to him had ended, so an exit would probably have opened for him to leave this place.
He couldn’t resist at all because the moment he went out that exit, he too would be sucked in.
‘That guy Laon… .’
I think I was really pissed off.
The moment Raon’s neck fell off, he gave him a look that said, ‘You’re screwed!’ His shoulders trembled as he recalled those murderous eyes.
‘I might only eat Nadine bread for a month… .’
Las shook his head, talking about the short period of time of one month, as if he still didn’t know the person called Raon.
‘I absolutely cannot stand that.’
I’d rather starve than eat Nadine bread in a row. I can’t stand eating Nadine bread in a row. In fact, before entering this space, I almost died when I ate Nadine bread.
‘Oh, so I have to borrow it in the end…?’
In the battle of the souls in reality, you can’t beat Raon because of that damned ring. The moment you leave here, you have to raise both your arms and beg for forgiveness.
‘Of course, that lump of desire wouldn’t be so lenient.’
Laon will definitely demand material power. I don’t know how much I should give to satisfy that greedy demon.
“Haaah, the loss must be huge.”
Although the soul’s level or power would not be consumed, the thought of removing the coldness gained from the moonlight made my chest tighten as if it were a lump.
‘f*ck!’
Lars threw his fist into the air.
‘What is this, you wrathful monarch, who couldn’t stand it even once!’
Of course, even the wrathful monarch could not overcome the fear of Nadine Bread, so he sat down and thought about how he could roast Raon.
But no matter how long I waited, the room of my ego showed no signs of collapsing.
‘what?’
Why don’t you go out?
The moment Raon exits, he should disappear along with it, and this space should be erased, but strangely, nothing changed.
‘Sir, there’s no way he’s really dead… No, that can’t be happening!’
If Raon was really dead, the world would have collapsed the moment his head was cut off. Seeing that he was still fine, it was certain that he was alive.
‘So you can’t find the exit?’
Or maybe he’s thinking of revenge against the king.
Since I didn’t know anything, I felt more frustrated than if I had been hit. I just hoped that this feeling of suffocation would go away quickly, no matter what the situation was.
‘You quiet bastard! What on earth are you thinking?’
He leaned his back against the World Tree where Raon was sitting, thinking that if he was going to get revenge, he wanted it to end quickly.
Gooooooo,
As I was growing increasingly impatient while raising Glacia, Raon walked out of the black mirror.
“uh…?”
Raon, who was stepping onto the snowy field, trembled with his dry lips.
‘Why did that ghost come here?’
The exit of the room of the ego is the same as the entrance. As soon as I was revived, I could have left, but I don’t know why I came here.
‘S, no way… .’
Are you trying to get revenge here?
It seemed like that ghost was planning to roll over not only in reality, but also here.
“Khuuuhuk… .”
Lass buried his face in his hands and let out a low moan. Tears welled up in his eyes without him realizing it, as he pictured the future ahead.
“Ras.”
Raon looked at him with red eyes that were so sharp it was painful.
“Look, I am sorry. I really made a big mistake.”
When I actually stood face to face with Raon, the words I had been thinking of until then did not come to mind. Like a herbivore facing its natural enemy, my head turned white and the only thing that came out was that I was sorry.
“I won’t touch you again, so please, just give me Nadine bread…”
“hey.”
Raon waved his hand, cutting off his own words, as if he was genuinely angry.
“yes…?”
“Okay. Try using the same technique you used to kill me.”
He pulled out his sword and snapped his fingers as if to tell them to attack quickly.
“You want me to write it again?”
Lass looked at Raon with wide eyes.
“What are you talking about all of a sudden!”
I thought he was going to tell me to only eat Nadine bread for a month, but then he told me to attack him again, so I was really flustered. I don’t know what he’s thinking.
“Attack me like before and I’ll cut off your head.”
Raon lowered his posture and nodded his head as if telling them to stop wasting time and attack quickly.
‘This, this is….’
Lass swallowed hard as he looked at Raon’s smile.
‘This is clearly a trap!’
Looking at Raon’s expression, it was clear that if he attacked now, he would only be eating Nadine bread for three months, not just one. He absolutely must not attack.
“Stop….”
Lars shut his eyes tightly as if he hadn’t seen anything.
“Look, the King will never raise a hand… .”
“If you don’t hit me now, I’ll only feed you Nadine bread until you die. Do you think you can’t even eat a home-cooked meal, let alone ice cream with beads?”
Raon frowned, saying he was sincere.
“I will eat Nadine bread for the rest of my life….”
Las’ blue eyes flickered like jellyfish floating in water.
“You know I’m the kind of guy who’ll do anything, right?”
Raon stamped his feet as if telling me to make a quick choice.
“You really want me to attack you? Really?”
“Ras asked back, letting out a heavy breath.
“I told you so. How many times do I have to say it?”
Raon nodded, telling her to hurry up.
“Ugh… .”
Lars bit his lip until it bled. His mind began to turn white again, thinking about how he would live his entire life eating only Nadine bread without the bead ice cream.
‘That is absolutely not allowed.’
Even if you spread jam, pour peanut butter, dip it in coffee, or soak it in wine, the rubbery taste of Nadine bread never goes away. It was a bizarre taste that destroyed all other tastes and stimulated my tongue. Thinking about experiencing it for the rest of my life made me want to live again.
“die!”
Lars raised the Sword of Frost with all his might, screaming evilly.
Paaaaaaaang!
The blade of frost flew faster than sound and cut through Raon’s neck just like before.
“under!”
Raon was smiling faintly as he died, as if he was happy.
Toouk.
As his head fell to the ground, his body disappeared like a crumbling sand castle.
“What, what is it? What is this?”
When I saw Raon laughing while dying, I felt even more scared than when I first killed him. It was the first time I was afraid of him.
“What on earth do you want from the King!”
Are you aware of the new genre?
* * *
“also….”
Raon jumped up in front of the golden exit.
“You’re not dying.”
Seeing that there was no change even after two deaths, it seemed like it was possible to come back to life here without any harm, just like I had thought at first.
‘but….’
I haven’t seen it.
Even though I wasn’t letting my guard down, I couldn’t figure out where or how Ras’s attack was coming from. It seemed like it was a power that was beyond my current level.
‘Yeah. This is how it’s fun.’
Raon walked out into the sea, stepping on Taehwabo with his lips curled up.
‘This will be a greater harvest than what I got from the room of the ego.’
Here, even if you die, you will be revived immediately and will not suffer any tangible damage. In other words, this was the best training ground to deal with the powerful Las.
‘I can’t even see it now….’
If you keep dying, you will feel something.
Even if you can’t stop Ras’s attacks, just dealing with him will be of great help when dealing with other Transcendents.
Of course, dying is scary and painful, but missing out on opportunities to grow is even more painful.
Paaaaang!
Raon crossed the sea with all his might. He went through the cave of the gray island and entered the mirror again.
Hwaaaaaaaah!
Upon reaching the ruined snowfield, Lass was seen chattering his teeth in fear.
“Kill me again.”
Raon smiled and nodded his head.
“Wow, that’s scary….”
Lars took a step back and turned his head violently.
“What kind of revenge are you trying to get on the king by doing this!”
The boy screamed, begging for words.
“You pervert son!”
