Episode 959
“hmm….”
Raon opened his eyes in front of the exit of the golden room of his ego.
‘The third death?’
Lars screamed in fear as he summoned the frost and cut off his own neck. Call him a pervert or something, but he was a guy who would definitely do something when he did it.
‘It’s certain now.’
Raon nodded, trying to control the heat of the comic ball blooming from his danjeon.
‘There is no harm in dying here.’
Seeing that there was no change in body or mind even after dying three times, it seemed that death did not exist in this world. Of course, it was very painful and still scary.
‘The bigger problem is….’
I guess I haven’t figured out Lars’ attack yet.
I’ve been hit by Lars’s attacks three times, but I still can’t figure out where the cold air is coming from.
‘Let’s start from the beginning.’
Raon took a quick sip as he went across the blue sea.
‘How could it be? It’s definitely a blade flying towards the neck… .’
I don’t know that route.
Every time I saw my own head cut off, it was clear that it was a slaughter aimed at my neck, but it was nowhere to be seen.
‘This time, should I put the Jecheon Sword in front of my neck from the beginning?’
If you raise the Jecheon Sword in front of your neck and use the prayer beads on both sides, you may be able to block Las’ attacks.
‘Okay. Let’s do it.’
As long as Las remained in his room, the opportunities were endless. He wanted to use every means at his disposal to stop the guy’s attacks.
Raon practiced Glacia, practiced the Dharma, and thought back on his fight with Ras.
I moved with concentration as if I had entered the world of ascension, and before I knew it, I had arrived at the ruined snowfield where Las was.
“Here we go again!”
As soon as Lars saw him, he screamed as if he had encountered a ghost.
“What on earth are you thinking! I don’t know what tricks you’ll use, so I’ll feel bad if I kill you!”
The guy gritted his teeth as if asking me to at least speak.
“Your job is simple. Just kill me.”
Raon didn’t want to break the concentration he had built up, so he extended his hand to fight.
“If you don’t speak, I will never kill you! No, I will die first and leave this space!”
Lars took a position as if he was going to strangle himself, as if he was going to commit suicide.
“This time, even threatening with Nadine Bread won’t work! I’m scared of you!”
The guy furrowed his brow, refusing to move a finger unless the situation was explained.
“Okay, I get it. Calm down.”
Raon let out a short sigh and lowered his hand that was about to pick up the Jecheon Sword.
“Hmm….”
Lars glared at him with his eyes narrowed, still suspicious.
“I asked what you were going to do. Of course, it’s training.”
Raon lightly tapped the scabbard of Jecheongeom.
“Soo, Soo-ryun?”
Lass opened his eyes wide as if to ask what I meant.
“You train while you’re dying?”
“okay.”
Raon nodded calmly.
“As you know, there is no loss in dying here. Your aura will not decrease, your swordsmanship will not decrease, and your soul level will not decrease.”
He struck his chest with his fist, drawing a faint smile.
“It means it’s the best place to gain practical experience.”
“under….”
Lars let out a gasp of disbelief.
“That’s why you asked me to kill you? Is there such a crazy person…?”
The guy shook his shoulders as if he couldn’t believe it.
“What the hell is in your head!”
Lars pursed his lips.
“Even if you know that you can come back to life, as long as you are a living being, you can’t help but fear death. How can you…?”
Any living being cannot help but instinctively fear death.
It’s an instinctive feeling that he has had since birth. No matter how hard he trains, it’s something that can’t be trained, but that guy wasn’t afraid of death from the beginning. The more I looked at him, the more I couldn’t understand him.
“And don’t you feel the pain of death? The pain won’t go away, so why are you rushing at me like that?”
Even if your neck is cut off, a person doesn’t die right away. After feeling extreme pain and fear, you fall into darkness, but it was shocking that you took on the challenge so nonchalantly.
“Well, it does hurt.”
Raon said that he was in a lot of pain and touched his severed neck three times. His words were like that, but his expression was so calm that it was almost unbelievable.
“Don’t you think that you might never wake up again?”
Lars took a deep breath and bared his white teeth.
“Even if you were able to be resurrected up until now, there is no guarantee that there will be a next time. Are you saying that you don’t even think about dying?”
I felt suffocated because Raon was like a fearless brat.
“Of course. To be honest, it’s also scary.”
Raon nodded while looking at Las’s sparkling blue eyes.
“But the time given to me is not much. I have to hold on to even the broken rope and climb up.”
“It is embarrassing for me to say this, but you have grown so quickly that even in the Demon World it is unprecedented. What on earth made you like that?”

Lars frowned as if he couldn’t understand.
“You know, I have a lot on my plate.”
Raon shook his head with a faint smile.
‘First there’s Derus Robert.’
This time, Derus Robert displayed overwhelming force over Mukkenjon Recross.
Now that Glenn has shown his strength, he can’t even touch a single hair on his head. It was only natural to take a chance to narrow that gap.
‘There are also many promises to keep.’
He had to destroy Eden, which had caused sorrow to his mother, father, and Sia, subdue the White Blood Cult leader to save Martha’s mother, and help Runaan defeat Syria on his own.
In addition, his subordinates, including Burren, Dorian, Crane, and Mark Gotten, had many wishes to fulfill. He wanted to fulfill them all.
He was given the nicknames of the youngest transcendent, the greatest genius of all time, and the swordsman, but he never got lost in his fame.
I had to get stronger as quickly as possible, by any means necessary.
“Haaah….”
Lass let out a long sigh, looking into the empty space as if smoking a cigarette.
“I feel this every time, but you are the craziest among the demons and celestials that the king has ever seen.”
“I’m neither a demon nor a celestial.”
“The King will no longer consider you human.”
The guy shook his head, saying that looking at him shatters his illusions about humanity.
“Anyway, do you understand?”
Raon smiled faintly and pulled out the Jecheon Sword from his waist.
“Then I’ll ask you something.”
He took a defensive stance with his knees slightly bent.
“Kill me with all your might.”
Now that I’ve told you everything, I don’t want to threaten you with Nadine bread. I wanted you to confront me sincerely, just as I told you sincerely.
“You tried to keep all those promises… .”
Lars laughed in disbelief.
“What a stupid, stupid guy.”
“Even the Demon King keeps his promises, so I, a human, cannot lie.”
Raon nodded, saying that he learned it from the stupid demon king.
“Okay. If you want it that much….”
Lars sat up as if he had made up his mind.
“I will kill you with all my might.”
The moment the guy finished speaking, a blue light flashed before his eyes. Before he could even feel it, his own head was blown off.
‘Light arose from my fingertips.’
Raon smacked his lips as he recalled the light he had seen at the last moment.
‘Then the frost path is to the left… .’
Even as death approached and the world became hazy, I closed my eyes, thinking about the next fight.
“her….”
Las shook his head as he watched Raon’s body slowly disappear.
“No matter when I see him, he’s not normal.”
Death is fair to all things. Even archangels and demon kings cannot avoid death, so they fear it, but Raon did not seem to have that fear.
As if I had tried dying at least once.
‘Of course I understand why you want to become stronger.’
Saving Martha’s mother, destroying Eden, helping Runaan overcome his trauma with his own hands, helping Buren gain Karun’s approval, making Dorian the head of the Chamber of Commerce, and even Raon himself becoming the head of the Sieghart family.
All of the things Raon set out to do were difficult. Since it wasn’t just his own work, there were probably many things he couldn’t achieve.
But the guy didn’t seem willing to give up anything. He wanted to make all of those wishes come true, even if it meant sacrificing himself.
‘I want to become stronger…’
To be honest, I had been through similar times as Raon, so it wasn’t hard for me to understand him. Of course, I wasn’t as crazy as that guy who ignored death.
‘quite….’
Lars sat on the base of the World Tree and let out a faint laugh.
‘It looks like it’ll take a long time.’
Perhaps it was because I met Raon’s eyes that reminded me of my past self. Strangely enough, I wasn’t hungry.
As I was recalling the bittersweet past, the dimensional door opened and the next Raon came.
“Let’s get started right now.”
Raon nodded as if telling her to try using her power again.
“Okay. I’ll kill you.”
After Ras raised his body, he raised the blade of cold air that had been cutting Raon’s neck with all his might.
Woof woof woof!
Raon seemed to have gotten the hang of it just a little bit and changed the trajectory of the Jecheon Sword, but the cold air he shot flowed in a flowing path like moonlight and cut through the guy’s neck.
“Bar, the direction is….”
Raon’s eyes flashed as if he would come back again as he was dying, and then he disappeared.
“But this… .”
Lass licked his lips as he stroked the grip that still had the sensation of killing Raon.
“It’s more fun than I thought?”
When I found out that Raon had no ill intentions, I wasn’t afraid of killing him, but rather felt relieved. It felt like all the emotions that had built up over time were being released one by one.
“Now that it’s come to this….”
Lass curled his lips long as he looked at the dimensional gate through which Raon would emerge.
‘Shall we have a little fun?’
* * *
As soon as Raon woke up from death, he went up to the sea. He stepped on the Taehwabo and operated Glacia, recalling the events that happened right before he died.
‘A blue light bloomed from my fingertips.’
Before his own neck was cut off, a soft blue light emerged from Ras’ left hand. Contrary to expectations, it seemed like he was attacking with his left hand, not his right.
‘So the angle is twisted.’
It was natural that I didn’t have enough time to block it, as I had prepared my defense expecting an attack from the right.
‘This time, it would be better to build a prayer wall on the other side.’
Dealing with a right-handed person is completely different from dealing with a left-handed person. It seemed like it would be better to reverse the sword strike pattern if I wanted to block even one attack.
‘Or should we make a prediction?’
Since the neck was cut off before he could even react, it seemed like it would be a good idea to strike with the sword before Lass’ attack even came.
‘It’s nice to think while moving like this.’
When I first died and woke up, I was bored because the road back to Lars was so long, but now that I think about it, it was actually good because I could reflect on the previous battle while moving.
‘You can also practice both the Dharma and Glacia.’
It was like killing three birds with one stone, as I could cross the sea, increase my Glacia and Taehwabo achievements, and also practice swordsmanship.
‘I think I’ve been too focused on fate all this time.’
The reason he has grown so quickly is partly due to chance, but it is also due to the effort he put in day and night to make that chance his own.
I have gained a lot of experience in the room of the ego, but I have not yet made it completely my own, so I have decided to take some time to mature.
‘Let’s take it slow.’
Raon stepped onto the ruined snowfield again, thinking about how to stop Las’ attack.
“You come without getting tired.”
Lass let out a hollow laugh as if he wasn’t even resting.
“If you die and come back to life, everything will be fine.”
Raon shook his head with a faint smile.
“Then I guess we can start right away.”
Lass now seemed to have lost his hesitation and instead stepped forward actively, taking an offensive stance.
“Phew… .”
Raon took out the Jecheon Sword and placed it in the middle position near the left.
“joy!”
The moment Lass smiled cheekily, a blue light flickered from his left hand.
‘It was the left hand after all!’
The moment the blue light grew stronger, he raised a wall of prayer beads with the flames of his sword and struck down the enemy. It was a defensive technique that extended his shield and sword at the same time.
Chiaaaang!
But Lars, as if he had anticipated the whole situation, easily cut off his own throat.
‘are you okay.’
Raon didn’t feel disappointed and just smiled as he watched his body crumble and lose its neck.
‘You can do it again.’
* * *
Even the salt water treatment couldn’t stop him. He died.
Even the power of the heavens couldn’t stop him. He died.
Even the Great Election couldn’t stop him. He died.
Even though he unleashed his Void Sword, he couldn’t stop it. He died.
Even though he raised the sword, he couldn’t stop it. He died.
…
…
…
I tried to link the three seasons but couldn’t stop them. I died.
“ha….”
Raon nodded his head as he naturally went with the waves.
‘I don’t know how many times I’ve died.’
After failing with the skill of the Changgung Sword and the Changgungmuae, I stopped counting the number of deaths. After roughly calculating, I think I died more than 50 times already.
‘Still, I feel it a little bit.’
At first, I couldn’t even sense it, but after dying over 50 times, I felt like I was starting to get used to the flow that Lass was causing.
‘of course….’
The problem is that even if you know, you can’t stop it.
Las’s attacks are not only fast and flashy, but also powerful. Every time I block, my Heavenly Sword breaks, and I can’t avoid my head flying off.
‘I’m sure I can’t stop it with just my current swordsmanship.’
His strongest swordsmanship, Geomkwi, is slower to activate than other swordsmanship. Since Ras’s attack was fast, his own neck was cut off before Geomkwi was fully opened.
‘Then there is only one way.’
Raon smacked his lips as he looked at the gray island in the distance.
‘Let’s use everything. Everything I’ve accumulated so far.’
He entered the cave of blue light, vowing to use not only his swordsmanship, but also his martial arts, martial arts, physical training, and even his combat experience to defend himself.
‘Phew.’
As I walked through the cave, I kept thinking about how to fend off Ras’ attacks.
Strangely enough, it wasn’t boring or frustrating, but rather enjoyable, because it was all a way for me to grow.
Before I knew it, I had reached the end of the cave and a black mirror appeared.
In the softly shining mirror, he was smiling, as if he was so happy at this moment.
Raon entered the mirror, smiling brighter than the smile he saw in the mirror.
Percussion.
As soon as we set foot on the ruined snowfield, Lars, who was sitting on the World Tree, got up.
“Let’s get started right away.”
Lars nodded calmly, now accustomed to the situation. Judging by the slight smile on his face, he seemed to be having fun too.
“However much.”
Raon took a deep breath and pulled out the Jecheon Sword.
“Try to block it well this time.”
Lars snorted and stretched out his left hand as if he could never stop it. A blue light flashed from his fingertips, and a stinging pain shot through his neck.
It wasn’t actually a blade. It was just his senses, which had been sharpened to the limit, reacting to the triggering of the extremely sharp slash.
Bullfight!
The moment Raon felt pain, he stepped on Taehwaibo. He retreated with the exhilarating technique and distanced himself from the slaughter caused by Las.
Woohoo.
As if he had predicted it, Lass pursued him with his blade of frost. He felt that he was caught up to him even though he was stepping on the Taehwabo with all his might.
‘It’s now.’
Raon felt the frost of Lass pressing down on his neck and transformed Taehwaibo into Taehwasambo, which contained softness.
Surrendering to the flow of frost caused by Las, he unleashed the flames burning in his swordplay like silk. Manhwagong Mu Geumhyang. He incorporated the subtlety of his swordsmanship into his defensive swordsmanship that contained gentleness, and continued the gentleness of Taehwasambo.
Tsk tsk tsk tsk!
Even though he used his flowing swordsmanship, the Jecheon Sword broke and red blood burst out from his body.
But this time, the world didn’t spin. It wasn’t his neck that was stabbed, but the inside of his chest. For the first time, he hadn’t died instantly from Ras’s attack.
“… You twisted it?”
Lars glared at him in disbelief. Judging from his expression, it seemed like he wasn’t just going to let him off easy, but was going to kill him with all his might.
“ha….”
Raon curled his lips as he watched the bloody stream dripping down onto the broken Jecheon Sword.
‘I didn’t have enough strength.’
Although he was able to shed the blow, the power contained in Las’s sword strike was so strong that it seemed to have penetrated his defenses.
‘But he didn’t die right away.’
Although I suffered a fatal wound, I was glad that I was able to block it once. I felt that my ability to use the Man-geom had grown even further.
“Ras… .”
Raon wiggled his finger at Las in the darkening vision.
“Come back again.”
After saying those words, he disappeared into dust.
“Hmm….”
Lass swallowed dryly as he recalled Raon’s smiling face. After learning the guy’s true feelings, he was able to kill him happily, but for the first time, his spine felt creepy.
“You son of a monster.”
