Episode 970
“hmm….”
Raon took the letter Glenn handed him with both hands. It was clear that it only contained paper, but it felt strangely heavy.
“Is the Five Emperors’ Conference being held again?”
“The Black Tower has collapsed, and the balance of the Five Emperors and Five Demons has been broken. Naturally, we should hold a meeting to celebrate our victory and show our continued existence.”
Glenn’s cold eyes flashed as he suggested that the Five Emperors’ Conference could cause even greater rifts in the remaining Sima.
“You are planning to bring the neutral forces that have not yet decided on their path to our side.”
Raon looked at Glenn and licked his lips briefly.
“That’s right. You were right.”
Glenn nodded as if he was proud.
“There are still neutral forces that have not decided on a path between the Five Emperors and Sima. There are countless unaffiliated warriors and magicians. The Five Emperors’ Conference being held this time is an important event to accept such people to our side.”
He slowly closed his eyes and opened them again, thinking that this meeting of the Five Emperors could determine the outcome of the war that was to come.
“This is definitely an opportunity not to be missed.”
Raon nodded while looking at the lake painted with moonlight.
‘If you don’t open it, then it’s okay, but if you open it, then you have to make it a success no matter what.’
If we increase the power of the Five Emperors through this meeting, we can lead the coming war to an overwhelming advantage. As Glenn said, it was a very important event.
“But is it okay for me to go to such an important meeting?”
Raon narrowed his eyes as he looked at the five stars engraved on the envelope.
“The reason this meeting of the Five Emperors is being held is because of you, Raon.”
Glenn smiled thinly and grabbed her shoulder.
“This event would never have been held if you hadn’t cut down the black tower, so if you don’t go, no one can go.”
He nodded, saying that this meeting of the Five Emperors was being held because of his achievements.
“Besides, other people said they wanted to see you too.”
Glenn smiled with pride as he said that the leaders of the Five Emperors also wanted to meet him.
“Well, I guess I should go then.”
Raon nodded, rubbing the back of his neck. Hearing such words made him feel a little embarrassed.
“Raon, you didn’t just destroy the Black Tower, you destroyed the structure of the Five Emperors and Five Demons. Even I couldn’t do that, so have confidence.”
Glenn raised his finger, saying it was a historic achievement.
-How grandiose!
Lars wrinkled his nose as if he didn’t like it.
-Didn’t you achieve all this with the help of the King?
After hearing that, the guy clung to my shoulder and insisted on buying me ice cream.
“I’m not the only one who caught the black tower.”
Raon shook his head, pushing Las away.
“This would never have been possible without Chamberlain.”
It wasn’t just Chambers. If it weren’t for Lars, Gluttony, and Rust, he and the other Tempest Inspectors would have been buried in that hellish darkness.
“You are still humble.”
“No. I’m not being humble. I’m just telling the truth. Right now, we can’t defeat the leaders of the Five Emperors.”
Raon bowed his calm eyes as he said that he still couldn’t win.
“Is it ‘now’…?”
Glenn stroked his beard and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
“That sounds like you’ll be reaching that area sooner or later.”
“Of course I should go up. I have a lot of work to do.”
Raon nodded calmly, saying that he would definitely stand on the same level as the leaders of the Five Emperors.
“Phew… .”
Glenn raised his trembling hands and covered his face.
‘That’s great. That’s great!’
I didn’t know it would become this great.
Raon always showed his humility. It was a bit too much, so I thought he was trying to give credit to others this time, but his actions were actually hiding a clear confidence that he could become stronger.
It seems that my state of mind has changed after visiting the room of the ego.
“Your Majesty?”
“Oh, no.”
As soon as Glenn heard Laon’s call, he shook off the slightly wet hands.
“Where will this meeting be held?”
“Valkarda.”
“It’s because of you, Chambers.”
Raon let out a short sigh as he recalled the state of the chamber he had last seen.
“Yeah. That guy hasn’t recovered his strength yet.”
Glenn licked his lips as he said Chambers was in rehab.
“Oh, then is King Recross okay?”
Hearing the name of the chamber, I also became worried about the condition of King Recross, who had been attacked by Delus.
“You’re okay. Your injuries haven’t completely healed, but your strength hasn’t disappeared.”
Glen nodded, saying that King Recross was able to move sufficiently.
“thank god.”
Raon lowered his eyebrows as he recalled the kind face of King Recross.
‘Come to think of it, our Oh Hwang’s condition isn’t good either.’
Chamber and Ogram have lost their powers, and Recross is badly injured. The only ones who are currently unharmed are Glenn and Matapju Larian.
‘Of course, Sima is not normal either.’

Delus, the White Blood Cult, and Eden are still alive and well, but the Holy Sword Federation has already taken a different path from them.
Even though I couldn’t help the Emperor, I would never side with them.
-There’s that guy.
Lars climbed up onto his head and bobbed his chin.
-A crazy man who went crazy with swords and gouged out his own eyes with his own hands.
‘The previous Holy Sword Training Ju…’
Raon bit his lip as he recalled the inspector who was more bizarre than anyone else.
‘He’s definitely a problem.’
The Holy Sword Master promised not to touch the Holy Sword, but he did not say that he would not participate in the war.
‘I’ll definitely come.’
He is a monster who is alive to fight Glenn, and it is no exaggeration to say that he will definitely get involved in the war even if he stands on Sima’s side.
“You don’t have to worry about Sieghardt while the meeting is underway.”
Glenn smiled blandly, as if he had interpreted her stern expression differently.
“Chamber and the Tower Master have developed a new magic that will allow them to return to their base immediately. Once revealed, they may be discovered, but for now, they are safe.”
He put strength into his fingertips, determined not to let the situation recur like when King Recross was attacked.
“Then that’s good.”
I was worried that the main camp might be attacked like King Recross, but it didn’t seem like that would happen.
“Then shall we go?”
“Of course I should go.”
Now there was no reason to refuse, and it didn’t seem like a bad idea to use his name and force to bring in neutral forces.
“I thought about it carefully.”
Glenn put his hand down, saying he would be leaving in a week.
“My lord, I have a question….”
“Call me Grandpa.”
He shrugged his shoulders slightly, saying it was no longer public business.
-That old man is really annoying.
Lars shook his head, saying he was tired.
“Grandpa. How is your aunt?”
Raon looked at Glenn, recalling the last time he saw Alice.
“After returning from Mirtan Village, you went to the main office and didn’t come back… .”
As expected, Aris went to Mirtan Village and brought back the cursed sword.
However, I became worried because he went to the main building and did not return after that.
“It’s a shame because it’s so good.”
Glenn lowered his eyelids slightly, saying he was almost tired.
“If you’re worried, why don’t you go and see for yourself?”
He immediately turned his back as if to say, “Let’s go now.”
“No. You’re probably sleeping, so tomorrow or later…”
“no.”
Glenn shook his head firmly, as if to say absolutely not.
“I’ll still be awake. That too….”
He smiled and raised two fingers.
“Both.”
* * *
Raon followed Glenn to the Gaju training ground.
‘hmm…?’
A barrier was erected around the training grounds to block out sound and shock. It was quiet, but it felt like someone was inside.
“From here on out, keep quiet. It might interfere with your training.”
Glenn entered the training grounds through an unusually silent side door.
“yes.”
Raon nodded and quietly passed through the open door and entered the training ground.
Oh my god!
As soon as I set foot on the training ground, a loud noise like the ground was collapsing erupted one after another.
When I turned my gaze to where the sound came from, I saw Karun and Alice thrusting their swords at each other’s necks.
Quaddududuk!
The swords wrapped around Aura clashed violently, causing blue sparks to appear around the smokescreen.
Phew!
Karun and Aris did not back down despite their flesh being torn apart by each other’s powerful ki waves, and instead launched vicious sword strikes at each other.
‘Are you sparring?’
Laon examined the black sword in Alice’s hand amidst the grand waves of clashing transcendent auras.
‘So you got that black sword.’
I expected that she would go to Mirtan Village to get that sword since she left Federick’s mansion.
It seemed like he was quite used to using the power contained in the sword.
‘Are we going to let go of the feelings we’ve built up between each other?’
Raon let out a sigh as he watched Karun and Alice’s duel.
‘Why do you fight so viciously?’
Karun and Alice were not simply sparring, but rather, they stabbed their swords into each other’s hearts as if they were rivals for life and death.
Seeing him swing his sword with all his might without even realizing that he and Glenn had come, it seemed like he really wanted to kill his opponent.
Kookookookookook!
The two continued swinging their swords until all the strength left their limbs. After about an hour, the endless sword fights slowly began to subside.
Kuuuung!
Karun and Alice dropped their swords as if they had been waiting and sat down on the spot.
“You are so stable.”
Alice frowned at Karun.
“Sometimes you have to be provocative and aggressive to create variables, but because it’s so stable, the numbers are obvious.”
She snorted, saying she was easy to deal with.
“I’ll give you some advice too. My sister doesn’t use her head at all and fights only with instinct.”
Karun let out a hollow laugh, as if he found it pitiful.
“It’s not bad to fight instinctively, but if you don’t use your head at all, you’re no different from an animal. No, you’re worse than an animal.”
He also firmly told Alice what she lacked as he had received it.
“You fight while thinking!”
Alice frowned as she swung her sword, thinking hard.
“Are you stupid? Then there’s no answer….”
Karun waved his hand provocatively.
“You’re too scared to fight! You don’t have the confidence to come within my reach, do you?”
Alice gritted her teeth and glared at Karun.
“Then shall we fight again? Like an animal, fiercely.”
“Okay. I’ll kill you! Thinking about it!”
Karun and Alice immediately stood up and clashed their swords again. Although their strength and aura had been greatly reduced, a flow and vitality that had not been there before was blooming between their swords.
“This is….”
Raon swallowed dry saliva and looked back at Glen.
“It’s a mutually beneficial training. It’s a way for people with similar skills to learn from each other’s strengths and weaknesses and grow together.”
Glen nodded, saying that although Karun was stronger, they were moving in sync to some extent.
“Symbiotic training… .”
Raon whetted his appetite.
‘I’m a little jealous of this.’
I was so envious of the fact that I could grow together with opponents of similar skill level by going up against them.
‘Who is right for me right now?’
In my opinion, it was only a comedy. If I look at it a little more broadly, it seemed like it would probably be possible to go as far as a ghost spear.
“Do you know why those two guys are still practicing?”
Glenn turned his finger from pointing at Karun and Alice to Raon.
“It’s all because of you.”
“…Is it because of me?”
My mouth fell open because it was such an unexpected answer.
“Karun said he didn’t want to let you go. He promised to catch up with you at all costs. And Alice said she wanted to repay you for what you gave her.”
Glenn laughed, saying that the reason Karun and Alice are still training now is because of him.
“… … .”
Raon looked at Karun and Aris in silence. His heart pounded as if it was beating a drum at the sight of the two people swinging their swords while shedding blood and sweat.
-You didn’t give up even after seeing how much you’ve grown. You’re a greater person than the king expected.
Lars looked at Karun and laughed in vain.
-I thought it was nothing special until now, but now I see it again.
The guy nodded heavily, saying that he wasn’t called Snowflake’s father for nothing.
‘I know.’
Raon chewed his lip as he watched Karun displaying refined swordsmanship while sweating profusely.
‘You’re the first person I’ve met who followed me without giving up.’
To be honest, I was defrauding the world.
Las’s abilities and traits, the ring of fire, and even the comic ball. Each of them combined fraudulent abilities to reach Transcendence at the age of 20.
Anyone who saw that absurd growth would have been discouraged and given up, but Karun didn’t fall, he just got up and started running.
I was both amazed and astonished at the sight of him training all night with Alice to catch up with her.
‘My aunt is the same.’
Alice still hadn’t quite come to terms with it. She must have been exhausted both physically and mentally, but she was so grateful that she was standing there with the intention of helping him.
“… … .”
Raon watched the duel between Karun and Aris and slowly got up.
“Are you leaving already?”
“My hands are itchy.”
He smiled gently while holding the sword of the Heavenly Sword.
“I also have to climb higher so that I don’t get caught by those two.”
I went down to the exit of the training ground, vowing that I would never give up.
“Hmm… .”
Glenn leaned back in his chair and laughed heartily.
“In your later years, you will be blessed with children and grandchildren at the same time. Of course, this is all thanks to you.”
He smiled warmly as he watched Raon leave the training ground.
‘Thank you, Raon.’
* * *
A week later.
Raon stood on the podium wearing his black uniform and looked down at the Gwangpungjeon inspectors.
“The place we are going today is Balkar, the center of the continent where the Five Emperors’ Conference is held.”
He nodded to the whirlwind swordsmen who were emitting sharp auras like the statues of knights.
“This meeting is an event that could change the course of the war that will unfold in the future. It is important for us to invite our Lord Kaju as our representative to such an important place.”
Raon exhaled softly and raised his finger.
“As you know, there are many who do not believe that we have completely destroyed the Black Tower. They may be Sima’s followers or they may be suspicious, but it is a waste of time to convince them.”
Raon took a step forward onto the platform. Behind him, golden flames bloomed like devil wings.
“Show your strength. Prove to those who doubt us what we are and what we have done with our strength. Let the three letters “Gwangpungjeon” be engraved in their heads.”
“I obey your orders!”
The whirlwind inspectors placed their hands on their left chests where their hearts were and raised their voices so loud that the ground shook.
“Then let’s go.”
Raon came down from the stage. He passed through the center of the Gwangpungjeon inspectors, swinging his black dragon robe that reached down to his knees.
Damn it.
As Raon took each step forward, the inspectors of the Gwangpungjeon followed behind him with their hands on their swords.
Gooooooo!
Laon and the Gwangpungjeon inspectors set out on their way to Balkar, creating a noble wave of energy as if they had become the great swords of a great general.
