Episode 985
-New, new title? And it’s related to lizards?
Lars approached with his eyes wide open.
-Didn’t I give you a dragon slayer or something before!
The guy frowned and asked why he was being given the same title again.
‘It’s different from that title.’
Raon waved his hand in front of Las’ eyes.
‘Dragon Slayer was a title given to those who were the first to catch a dragon…’
He continued, pointing to the new title, “Dragon Killer.”
‘Dragon Killer is a title earned from killing many lizard guys.’
Typically, titles like Killer or Slaughterer are only earned when you kill a large number of entities, not just one or two.
It was clear that he had earned the title of Dragon Killer because he had hunted so many dragons.
‘Come to think of it, I’ve caught quite a few. Starting with Kaibar, I’ve caught three lizards that attacked the Great Forest, and today I even killed Dsiuros.’
It seemed that of all the people remaining on the continent, he was the one who had killed the most dragons.
‘At this point, I think it’s okay to be called a killer.’
-Ugh… .
After hearing this, Lars seemed to have nothing to say and just shook his fists.
‘If you understand, please be quiet so I can check the reward.’
Raon pushed away Las, who was shaking like a lantern in the wind.
-I don’t like it! It’s the king’s mouth, so I’ll play with it however I want!
Lars screamed, not intending to keep quiet.
‘Even little kids wouldn’t do something like that…’
Raon shook his head and checked the reward message again.
[You have successfully hunted the dragon.]
[All abilities increase by 10 points.]
[The grade of the characteristic <Power Enhancement> increases.]
[The level of the characteristic <Power Utilization> increases.]
[A new title, <Dragon Killer>, is created.]
Because I used Glacia’s Cold and Las’s Fury to full power in today’s battle, two of my power-related characteristics went up.
Since both power-related traits were low, I was satisfied with that reward alone.
‘Of course the point is a bit salty.’
It was a little disappointing that the ability points only went up by 10 points, unlike when they went up by 30 or 50 points.
Because my current ability level was so high, I didn’t feel much of a difference from increasing it by 10 points.
-Is this really crazy!
Lars gritted his teeth with his face buried in the floor.
-What do you expect from me when all you’ve done is cut the breath!
The guy was angry, saying that the compensation he received was excessive.
‘Well, that’s true.’
Raon smiled and smacked his lips.
‘Because I’ve done less than usual.’
Since I only stepped forward once, unlike when I would handle every situation from start to finish, it made sense that the rewards would be less.
‘That guy called System is really fair.’
-Oh, fair? Ohh …
Lars’s eyes fluttered open.
-I want to tear that flower-like head off! What kind of justice is that when you just keep giving it to me without stopping! The true nature of the king is now nothing but skin and bones!
As soon as he returned to the Demon World, he ground his teeth, saying that he would destroy the system.
‘Let’s think about that later…’
Raon left the angry Las behind and checked the title that was floating at the end.
<Dragon Killer>
A title given to a warrior who has killed five or more dragons.
An aura is created that allows you and those around you to more easily cut through dragon scales and mana.
The owner of the title has an aura that instills fear in dragons.
Raon’s eyes widened as he read the contents of the title <Dragon Killer>.
‘Is this good?’
The fact that he could not only obtain the dragon’s scales and the aura that could cut through mana, but also pass it on to those around him was honestly no different from a scam.
With this ability, it seemed like even the most advanced swordsmen would be able to catch a decent Jackie Chan.
‘It’s not bad to have abilities that only I can have.’
Dragons have the ability called Dragonfear, which allows them to crush the souls of other races as mediators of the world.
The title <Dragon Killer> also gave him the power to inflict fear on dragons who had forgotten their role as mediators.
It literally meant to kill all the dragons that had lost their faith.
-What kind of title has such diverse abilities!
Las frowned, wondering why his abilities were so varied.
-From now on, don’t even say anything like “dog eating grass”!
The guy gritted his teeth, saying that the system was just handing out money without any mercy.
-The system protects you, so even the king can interfere… .
‘Think about it carefully.’
Raon nudged Las with his elbow.
‘If Gwangpungjeon and I keep slaughtering dragons, who’s going to eat their meat? Yeah?’

-Look, the king will eat it… .
‘That’s right! Instead of interfering, you should help more.’
He nodded, saying that if you want to eat various grilled lizards, don’t bother and help the Gwangpungjeon.
-That’s right. The King must help!
Lass opened his eyes wide, saying that he understood everything.
-Then what are you doing! Go back and train those guys!
The guy waved his round hand, saying that he would raise them enough to catch one dragon per person.
‘That’s hard… .’
-Where is the difficulty! If you say that, everything will be possible!
Lars snorted, offering to help.
‘ha….’
Raon let out a heavy breath as he looked at the excited Las.
‘If Delus was as simple as this guy, the war would have already ended.’
Why was the Demon King of Wrath so naive, and why was the swordsman with the nickname of Cheongeomseong turned out to be a sinister evil spirit? This world was truly a mess.
“Your Majesty!”
As Raon recalled Derus’ distorted eyes, Dorian jumped out from the collapsed lair of Desiuros.
“I got everything!”
Dorian waved his hand, saying that he had taken all the treasure that was in the lair.
“already?”
“Yes. Thanks to the help of others, I was able to move quickly!”
He nodded, saying that with the help of Latiru and the other dwarves, he was able to collect all the treasures that were in the lair.
Seeing as how little time it took, it seemed like there wasn’t as much wealth as I thought.
“It’s a pocket I’ve never seen before.”
“How can such a large volume be put into such a small space…?”
“Is this an ancient artifact?”
The dwarves licked their lips as they watched Dorian, who seemed more interested in his belly pouch than in themselves.
“I’m curious, but let’s check later. For now, let’s go.”
Raon nodded his chin while looking at the sun that was still rising.
“To Sieghart.”
***
“Hmm.”
Foreign Minister Illiun blinked blankly.
“Why does it feel like every time I go on a mission and come back, there are more people…?”
He let out a sigh as he looked at the hostages of Desiuros standing behind Laon and the Gwangpungjeon.
“These are the people who were kidnapped by the dragon. I brought them here because I heard the entire village had already disappeared.”
Illiun was the general in charge of external affairs for Sieghard, so he told the story of the people behind him.
“You guys have had a hard time.”
Illiun nodded heavily after observing the behavior of the dwarves and people.
“Even if there were no such circumstances now, I would believe Jeonju’s words.”
He nodded calmly as if he believed in me. As I said before, he kept raising his voice, so it seemed like he truly trusted me.
“Come in.”
Illiun opened the main gate of Sieghart after counting the number of hostages.
“Thank you. If anything happens, I will take responsibility.”
Raon bowed his head and said thank you.
“No. I sent it in, so it’s my responsibility.”
Illiun laughed coolly, saying that the matter regarding the main gate of Sieghart was his own business. Just seeing that smile made me feel good about him.
“Has the master returned?”
“He came back a week ago. I contacted him in advance, so he’ll be waiting.”
Illiun nodded, saying that he could just go straight to Gajujeon.
“then.”
Raon bowed his head politely to Illiun and then walked up the road to Gajujeon.
“Is this Sieghard?”
“It seems bigger than I heard?”
“I can feel the sharp sword energy coming from all directions. It’s not a prestigious swordsmanship school for nothing.”
The dwarves and people who were held hostage by Dsiuros exclaimed with every step they took, as if they were amazed by Sieghart’s size and power.
“It’s a whirlwind battle.”
“You said you went to catch a dragon, but you failed?”
“No. I think it was a success, since you saved the dwarves and the people!”
“You came back so quickly after catching the dragon that was hiding?”
“This is crazy. Isn’t Gwangpungjeon currently ranked first in performance?”
“The Heavy Tortoise and Black Tortoise are still high. They may catch up soon, though….”
On the other hand, Sieghardt’s inspectors showed astonishment in their eyes as they were surprised by the speed at which the Gwangpungjeon’s missions were being processed.
“What, with this much?”
“Yeah. It’s basic. Basic!”
“Ehhhhhh… .”
The Gwangpungjeon inspectors seemed to be delighted by the praise from others, writhing like earthworms.
‘It’s already been resolved. Anyway… Hmm?’
Raon snickered and turned his gaze to see Latiru. His expression was grave and hardened, as if he was being dragged to a slaughterhouse.
“Lord Latiru? Are you okay?”
He bent his knees and bowed his waist to meet Latiru’s gaze.
“Is there anything that feels uncomfortable?”
“No, it doesn’t hurt anywhere. It’s just… .”
Latiru swallowed hard as she watched Sieghart’s battle getting closer and closer.
“I was thinking of the King of Destruction.”
“Your Majesty?”
“Yes. I heard that Glen Sieghardt is a cold-blooded king who doesn’t shed a single drop of blood even when stabbed with a sword. I don’t know how to persuade him, who has the name of the King of Destruction…”
It seemed that he was racking his brain to get not only himself, but also other dwarves and people to accept Sieghart.
“Well, I think you don’t have to worry too much.”
Raon smiled and shook his head.
“You’ve changed a lot since you were called the King of Destruction.”
“Really?”
“yes.”
I nodded to Latiru, whose eyes were wide open.
“These days, the aliases used to refer to the Lord are Brain God and Sword God. It may seem like he has become more distant from humans, but in reality, he has become more human than before.”
Raon went into the house, explaining that he would be able to feel it if he saw it for himself.
“As the Lord said, there won’t be any problems.”
Burren smiled, saying that things would work out well.
“The master will accept you warmly, so get ready to work.”
Martha patted Latiru on the shoulder, telling him not to doubt.
“I said I would become a slave….”
Runaan nodded, saying that if he worked hard, he would be accepted.
“You guys, show some manners to your elders!”
Burren frowned at Runaan and Martha, telling them not to embarrass the Storm War.
“I’m still a little scared of you, Master….”
Dorian swallowed dryly, saying that the fear he had felt since childhood still remained.
“He’s a coward, that’s why. You really don’t have to worry!”
Crane pushed the backs of Latiru and the dwarves, saying that they would naturally find out once they entered the audience room.
‘I understand your concerns, but….’
Raon felt the worry of Latiru and the dwarves following behind him and let out a small smile.
‘It is true that the owner has changed.’
If it were the old Glenn, he would most likely not have accepted them into Sieghart even after hearing their story.
But the current Glenn is a sword god with a human heart. Rather, he will comfort their hearts and gladly accept them into his family.
Raon entered the wide open audience room, thinking of Glenn smiling.
“The storm has returned. The lord… huh?”
As I was about to announce my return from duty and say hello to Glenn, I noticed his face had turned dark and hard.
“Huh!”
“Ugh… .”
“Yes, as expected, the King of Destruction… .”
The dwarves and men gulped at the rough air emanating from the glen.
“Ugh… .”
Latiru bit her lip, saying that the expression on Glen’s face when she was in agony was exactly the same as before.
“Your Majesty?”
Raon opened his eyes wide in confusion.
“What’s been going on?”
His own heart was pounding because it was an expression he hadn’t seen from Glenn lately.
“It was there.”
Glenn nodded heavily.
“You came too late!”
He furrowed his brow and asked why I didn’t call him when I told him I was going to be late.
Kuuuuung!
The whole house shook as if it was going to collapse, as if it was full of sincerity.
“Oh my, it was hard to stop it.”
“Heh heh heh… .”
Cheryl and Roen shook their heads, saying that Glenn almost went into the desert himself.
“ah….”
Raon opened his mouth wide as he looked at Glenn, who had his eyebrows lowered deeply.
-Ugh… .
Lass let out a long sigh, as if he had known this would happen.
-That damn old man who can’t even sell his arms is starting again.
***
“… So I caught the dragon Desiuros and returned with them.”
After Raon finished telling his story, he slowly raised his gaze. Glenn’s stiff expression was softening like spring snow melting.
‘It seems like the discomfort has gone away.’
Glenn nodded with a satisfied look in his eyes, seemingly happy with his and Gwangpungjeon’s performance. It seemed like all his irritation and frustration had disappeared.
“Okay. Thanks for your hard work.”
Glenn nodded calmly.
“Especially the Gwangpungjeon. It wouldn’t have been easy to deal with the Elder Dragon with just your own force, but you did a great job.”
He said that I did a great job and even clapped his hands.
“Oh, no. I just followed Jeonju’s instructions carefully…”
Burren quickly bowed, seeming embarrassed by the direct compliment.
“We did get some help from Jeonju, but we’re still a bit stronger!”
Martha prickled her nose a little, as if showing off her vanity.
“It was easy….”
Runaan nodded vigorously, as if it was sincere and not a boast.
Although all three gave different answers, they could not hide their joy at receiving praise from Glenn.
“Then did you bring Desiurus’ body too?”
Glenn looked at Raon as if he was curious.
“Yes. There are many places where the scales are cut off, but since it is so large, there must have been many places where it was used.”
He nodded, saying that he hadn’t even separated the Dragon Heart yet.
“Mirtan Village will be busy for a while.”
Glenn was licking his lips at the thought of Borgos and Balkan having a hard time.
“So, there’s something I want to tell you.”
Raon approached Glenn’s stage and bowed his head.
“I would like to receive these people into Sieghard.”
He reached back and pointed to Latiru, the dwarf, and the people who were being held hostage.
“As I said, they were all captured by Dsiuros and have been working on jewels and gold for a long time. Their ability to handle heat and their craftsmanship are enough to satisfy the dragons, so they will be of great help to us as well.”
He bowed his head to Glenn, saying, “Please.”
“I, I should have said….”
Latiru bit her lip and walked over to Raon.
“I know it’s rude to ask for a favor from the person who saved my life. But I want to repay the favor by doing something good.”
He knelt down and asked to be accepted.
“Please accept it!”
The dwarves and people also bowed down, shouting for them to please accept them.
“Hmm… .”
Glenn raised his red eyes and examined each of the hostages held by DeSiuros.
“Then can Gwangpungjeonju take responsibility for their identities?”
He wiggled his fingers as if that was the first thing.
“Of course.”
Raon said he would take full responsibility and closed his eyes.
“If that’s the case, then good.”
Glenn looked at Latiru and the people behind him with a faint smile on his face.
“Since the Gwangpungjeonju has guaranteed your identity, we will accept you all into Sieghart.”
He nodded, confirming the answer in the name of the family.
“Go, thank you!”
“thank you!”
After Latiru and the dwarves bowed their heads to Glenn, they also bowed to Laon.
“no.”
Raon just smiled at Latiru and the others, saying that it was okay.
-Anyway, you’re an inspiration.
Lars wrinkled his nose as he looked at Glenn.
‘what’s the matter?’
-I can see through your intentions.
‘What’s your intention?’
-I brought up your name to those hostages, and made them feel even more grateful to you than to me. After all, when you get old, you become a fox.
The guy lowered his eyebrows, saying he hadn’t expected Glenn to use such a move.
‘ah….’
Raon chewed his lips slightly as he looked at Glenn, who was smiling faintly. Thinking about it, it really seemed like what Ras said.
“Your Majesty.”
As I was thinking about thanking Glenn, Dorian waved his hand.
“Shall I take it out?”
Dorian licked his lips as if he wanted to open his stomach pouch.
“that?”
Glenn narrowed his eyes as if to ask what she meant.
“There are treasures brought from the lair of Dsiuros. I would like you to use them as a budget for the war.”
Raon smiled faintly and gestured to Dorian.
“Then I’ll take it out and see!”
As Dorian smiled and opened his belly pouch, gold bars and jewels began to pour out like waves from inside the black hole.
Kugugugugugu!
Before we knew it, more than half of the store was filled with gold bars and jewels, so much so that there was no room for people to stand.
“What, what is this!”
“There are too many!”
“You got all that this time?”
The executives glared in surprise.
“Why are there so many!”
Raon also opened his mouth in surprise. He hadn’t been able to check the treasure vault because he was busy rescuing the hostages, but he didn’t know there would be this much.
“You haven’t taken everything out yet?”
Dorian shook his head, saying that there was still a lot of goldsmithing left.
“Stop! Stop there.”
Raon waved his hand and closed Dorian’s pocket when the pillars of the audience room were more than halfway filled.
“Keuh-hem… .”
Glenn also let out a blank cough, seemingly bewildered by the amount of wealth.
“Hey, all of this for the war budget?”
He blinked in disbelief as he looked at the mountain of gold bars and jewels.
“Yes. Please accept it. The rest too…”
“Alright. Let the remaining assets be used by the Gwangpungjeon.”
When Raon offered to give more, Glen waved his hand as if it was okay to stop.
“Yeah, right.”
“I don’t think we need anything else here.”
“Yeah. Yeah… .”
The other executives nodded their heads in shock.
“Okay. Let’s talk about the rest later. You must be tired, so you can go back now.”
Glen waved to Raon and Gwangpungjeon behind the mountain of gold bars.
“thank you.”
Raon smiled and bowed his head.
“Then I will take you to Mirtan Village.”
I needed to retrieve the dragon corpse and talk to Borgos, so I thought it would be better to go there myself.
“Okay then.”
Glen nodded to Raon with eyes that were even more proud than before.
“then.”
After Raon bowed his head to Glenn, he led everyone out of the audience room.
“Oh, thank you.”
Latiru bowed her head again, saying she was truly grateful.
“It was something I had to do.”
Raon waved his hand, saying there was no need to say hello.
“I’ll take you to Mirtan right away. However, you must rest first and not start working right away when you get there.”
He made it clear that the dwarves and even the people were tired, so they should rest for now and think about work later.
“Okay, I understand. I will do as you say.”
Latiru hesitated and nodded, as if he was ready to get started right away.
“Then I’ll leave right away. If I leave now, it’ll be before dinner…”
It was when Raon was leaving Gajujeon and was about to move towards Mirtan Village.
Touhou.
A rolled up piece of paper fell onto his head.
‘what?’
I looked at the paper with narrowed eyes. It seemed like I had applied teleportation magic because it fell before I could even feel it.
‘It smells familiar….’
I unfolded the yellowish paper, thinking that I missed it.
[Eden Main Building. Below the crater at the top of Baeknyeongsan Mountain.]
What was written on the paper was the location of the Eden headquarters.
However, other than that, there was nothing written.
“What is this….”
Raon narrowed his eyes and turned the paper over, then froze.
[Thank you for treating me like a human being.]
I could sense the person’s fresh yet fragrant scent from the shaking letters.
