Episode 989
Knock. Knock. Knock.
The black blade pierced Merlin’s chest, and the blood that flowed from her flowed down the shaft, dyeing the bushes red.
“ah….”
Raon’s fingertips trembled as he looked at Merlin, who had closed his eyes without even being able to scream. Her breathing and vitality were rapidly fading away.
‘Merlin….’
As I looked at Merlin, who had stopped breathing while impaled on the black spear, I was reminded of the end of Limer.
Their minds began to turn blank as they recalled the death of their teacher, who had worried about them and smiled at them until the end.
Crackle! Crackle!
It felt like a completely different god of wrath, not Las, was possessing my body. Anger was rising from head to toe, and I wanted to erase everything in front of me.
-You idiot!
Lars put both hands on his shoulders as if trying to calm himself down.
-I’m not dead yet!
The man shook his head vigorously, insisting that Merlin wasn’t completely dead.
‘what…?’
Raon let out a ragged breath and looked at Merlin again. Her breathing was very slight, but it was continuing.
“Laon Sieghart?”
The master of the Machanghoe, the transcendent Kern with the nickname of Gwisalchang, opened his eyes wide as if he recognized him.
“So you were connected to this woman?”
The spearman shook the spearhead that was piercing Merlin, as if it were likely to happen. The blood flowing from her poured down like rain.
“It’s just a little late. It just finished.”
He stroked Merlin’s purple hair that flowed down the window, feeling sorry for him.
“You little punk… .”
It was when Raon was about to rush at Gwisalchang with explosive murderous intent.
“La, Laon… .”
Merlin very slowly raised his eyelids as he called his name.
It was so slow that it felt like time had stopped, but I couldn’t take my eyes off her.
“How did you get here…?”
Even in the situation where he was dying after being pierced by a magic spear, Merlin smiled painfully, thinking of himself first. When I saw that, my heart ached as if it was going to break.
“Huh? You’re talking in this state?”
Guisalchang let out a hollow laugh as if it was absurd.
“Although his skills were lacking, I have to acknowledge his will and perseverance.”
He nodded, saying that he once looked like an executive of Eden.
“Get out of here….”
Merlin gasped for breath as he told her to run away and leave him alone, blood streaming from her eyes and ears.
“Please….”
Merlin closed his eyes again, leaving the last word as “please.” Her vitality began to fade more rapidly.
“So that’s what you’re going to do?”
The spearman shrugged his shoulders as if to say, “Do as you wish,” and playfully spun the spear shaft that was piercing Merlin around.
“… … .”
Raon bit the inside of his lip as he looked into the eyes of the ghost that was laughing at Merlin.
-Wake up. You are still alive.
Lars lowered his eyebrows, saying that Merlin was still not dead.
‘I feel it too.’
I don’t know the exact reason, but Merlin was still breathing even though his chest was completely pierced.
If we can just save her from the savage, we might be able to save her.
-It’s stuck in the window so it’ll be hard to get, but try your best!
‘Yes. Now is not the time to get your head wet with anger.’
I couldn’t make the same mistake I made with Limer. I sent Glacia’s cold air to the upper chamber and pushed away the anger that filled my head.
‘You shouldn’t move rashly.’
No matter how fast he was, he could not be slower than the spear that was pinning Merlin to the pole. He had to find a way to save Merlin other than by force.
“Why are you here?”
Raon held back his tongue from swearing and spoke to Gwisalchang.
“Don’t you know even though you see it?”
He turned his finger and pointed around as if he found the spear funny.
“I’m attached to Sama. Among them, I’m with Eden.”
He tilted the spear towards the floor, saying that that was why he had been chasing Merlin.
Toouk!
Merlin seemed unable to wake up on his own, unable to move a finger even as the spearhead that had pierced him descended to the ground.
“I thought I could fight against the Six Emperors and the Five Demons easily if I made the Shinju Oryeong by following the comics, but they just kept watching me. So…”
The ogre lifted his toe and stepped on Merlin’s head.
“I left Shenzhou and joined Sima. I wanted to have a proper fight with the Emperor.”
“Why did you go to Sima instead of the Five Emperors…?”
Raon let out a short breath without looking at Merlin as much as possible.
“Oh Hwang has more numbers, right? That means there are more people who will fight me, so of course I should choose Sima.”
Guisalchang grinned, saying that he joined Sima because he wanted to fight more masters. He was literally a man crazy about fighting.
“Even in Eden, I was just waiting around bored, and then he asked me to catch this woman. She blocked the way for me, so I could just stab her with my spear, which was convenient. Of course… .”
The ogre lowered his eyebrows as he kicked Merlin’s waist with his toe.

“Because I was a wizard, I didn’t have much of a knack for it. I was also weak.”
He spat on the floor where Merlin was lying, saying that it had been an unsatisfactory battle.
“then….”
Raon took a step closer to Gwisalchang.
“I’ll deal with it. Instead… .”
“Are you asking for this woman?”
Gwisalchang twisted his lips as if his insides were completely visible.
“Do I really need to do that? Looking at you, I think you’d know how to come at me without me having to give you this woman.”
He curled the corners of his mouth, feeling the anger he was forcing himself to suppress.
“You said you like fighting?”
Raon shook his head, suppressing the anger that was trying to wreak havoc on his mind.
“If I get angry and start swinging my sword recklessly, won’t I lose interest again?”
Since it was obvious that appealing to Merlin would be useless, he piqued the thirst of the fighting-crazed Guisalchang.
“Huh?”
The ghost’s eyes, which had been sunken, sparkled softly as if they were excited.
“If you hand over Merlin now, I will fight you with all my might. No, I will even give you time to recover your stamina and aura.”
Raon nodded, saying that he would give Guisalchang time to recover his lost strength and stamina in order to stimulate his competitive spirit.
“I swear in the name of the swordsman Raon Sieghart.”
He put his hand on his heart and said that he would not run away with Merlin, but would see the end of it here.
“Everything else is fine….”
A tendon sprouted above the temple of the ghost spear.
“You said you would give me time to recover my strength and stamina? Someone like you?”
He furrowed his eyebrows in disbelief.
“Yeah. You’re not at full strength right now either.”
Raon nodded, examining the various magical marks engraved on the armor of the ghost spear. It was easy in words, but it was clear that in reality, it had been quite a long chase and fight.
“Ha! You have a knack for provocation. Good! I’m not interested in a wizard who’s going to die anyway.”
Guisalchang curled the corners of his lips as if it were fun.
“But before that… .”
He took two pairs of crimson-colored drops from Merlin’s bosom.
“I told you to definitely get this back.”
Guisalchang took the drop from Merlin and put it in his bosom, licking his lips.
“Take it.”
He snickered and swung the spear that held Merlin towards him.
Paaaaaaaang!
Merlin, who had been stuck on the spear’s blade, was thrown out helplessly as the spear moved fluidly.
Kuuuung!
Laon sensed that he might be attacked by the Ghost Spear, but he lowered his divine sword and magic sword and ran towards Merlin.
Paaaaang!
As soon as Guisalchang let go of Merlin, he brought down the sharp blade of his spear towards his own head.
Quaddududuk!
Raon gently received Merlin with his right hand, and took the sword in his left hand to block the spear strike from the ghost spear.
Cheeeeeeek!
To prevent the shock from reaching Merlin, Glacia fanned out her cold air to prevent her body from shaking.
“Good. You pass.”
Gwisalchang stepped back, saying that he seemed capable of keeping his promise.
Even though his pride was hurt, he seemed to want to fight with all his might, so he came and drank an elixir to restore his stamina and started practicing while standing.
-under!
Lars gasped in disbelief.
-You really saved me, you damn mouth… .
The guy shook his head, saying he couldn’t believe what he saw.
‘Now is not the time to be admiring such things.’
When Raon confirmed the movement of the spear, he stepped back and examined Merlin.
Kururururuk.
Blood poured out endlessly from the wound in his chest that had been pierced by the blade, soaking his uniform. The black uniform looked red.
‘Still alive.’
Merlin was still alive and breathing, despite having his chest shattered by the spear strike. Of course, he was running towards death, so he had to act as quickly as possible.
Phew.
Laon placed both hands on Merlin’s chest, hoping for a miracle to happen. He poured the divinity that had blossomed from the darkness he had accumulated until now into the blackened wound.
Paaaaaaaah!
As a soft light, rather than a holy radiance, bathed Merlin’s chest, her wounds slowly began to heal.
It was nothing short of miraculous to see the severe bleeding stop and new flesh start growing.
-There’s still a long way to go! Pull out more!
Lass waved his hand, saying that his healing power was still lacking.
‘I want to do that too, but….’
Raon chewed his lips.
‘There’s not much left.’
Most of the divinity that had blossomed from the darkness had been consumed. The remaining power was not enough to heal Merlin.
‘I have no choice but to use the last resort…’
Laon contained the power of <sluggishness> and <lust> that had been dormant deep in the soul in the divinity that blossomed from the darkness that was not long left.
Phew!
If it were a normal divine power, it would have rejected the power of the Demon King, but since its own divinity was born from darkness, it accepted the power of the Demon Kings with ease.
-This crazy guy!
Lars glared in disbelief.
-It could become more dangerous than it is now!
‘If I don’t recover now, I’ll die anyway!’
There was no time to send Merlin anywhere else. He had to survive here somehow.
-Um… .
Lars also felt helpless and let out a low groan.
-… But why laziness and lust?
‘<Sloth> has the ability to restore the body and mind by sleeping. <Lust> seems to be helpful since I’ve spent a lot of time with Rust.’
<Sloth>, which is released from oneself, has the function of increasing the physical and mental recovery while sleeping, and Merlin has become familiar with the aura of lust while spending time with Rust.
I mixed the energies of the two demon lords, hoping it would help her.
‘please!’
Raon focused on the harmony of divinity and power, hoping that Merlin’s breath and vitality would return.
Paaaaaaaah!
As if his earnest desire had worked, Merlin’s wounds were completely filled, and the endless flow of blood stopped.
His skin was still pale, as if he was about to die, but he was slowly starting to breathe again.
-Hoe, recovery is underway!
Lars clasped his hands together and said a miracle had happened.
‘Not yet.’
Raon shook his head firmly and warmed Merlin’s body with the heat of the comic book store, burning away the turbid energy remaining in her body.
‘It would be good to feed it some elixir too.’
I took out the elixir I had prepared for emergencies from Sieghardt’s report. I tried to take off my mask to put it in Merlin’s mouth, but strangely, the mask wouldn’t open.
‘what?’
He had previously removed Merlin’s old woman mask without much difficulty. But now, no matter how hard he tried, the mask would not come off.
‘I guess there’s nothing I can do.’
Since the mask seemed like it would break, I broke the elixir into small pieces and put it into Merlin’s mouth, which was slightly open inside the mask.
Phew!
As the heat of the elixir rose to Merlin’s body, his sunken vitality began to return little by little.
-Now you can take a breather… .
Lars sighed in relief as he watched Merlin’s breathing begin to stabilize.
‘okay….’
Raon nodded, wiping the sweat from his forehead. Saving Merlin was several times harder than fighting thousands of monsters. His entire body felt heavy as if soaked in water.
‘You’re badly hurt.’
The wound on Merlin’s chest was so large that he couldn’t pay attention to other parts of his body, but there was no place on his body that wasn’t wounded.
The originally black robes appeared red due to the blood flowing from all over his body.
‘And magic… was lost.’
The wizard originally created a circle in his heart. Merlin also seemed unable to escape from that boundary, as the mana circle she had was no longer felt.
“Huh? You really saved it?”
Guisalchang rolled his eyes as if he found it ridiculous.
“You were also talented in medicine? That’s amazing.”
He clapped his hands as if he was truly impressed.
“But that will only prolong the suffering. You will die again anyway.”
The spearman licked his lips, saying that he would kill himself and then pierce Merlin’s chest again.
“Stamina is….”
Raon turned his gaze away, ignoring Gwisalchang’s provocation.
“Are you fully recovered?”
“Thanks to you.”
The spearman said that it was perfect and struck the ground with the spear.
His energy surged into me with such intensity that it almost suffocated my heart. It was clearly the energy of a superior transcendent being.
“I see.”
He set up a defensive formation around Merlin, surrounded by the flames of the Manhwagong and the cold air of Glacia, and then got up.
“Then let’s begin.”
Raon apologized for making them wait for so long and set up the divine sword and the magic sword.
“You’ll need time to recover your strength too, right?”
The ghost nodded his chin as if to ask if it was okay.
“There’s no need. The result will be the same anyway.”
Raon shook his head calmly and approached Gwisalchang.
Damn it.
With each step he took, golden flames and blue frost spread out as if spreading wings, covering the entire forest.
“under?”
Gwisalchang furrowed his brow at Raon’s fierce momentum as he pushed away his own ki.
“Are you saying we should play house?”
He seemed to have hurt his pride and called for a stronger wave, but Raon’s momentum was never broken or pushed back.
“To you… .”
Raon suppressed the powerful blast of the spear with only his strength and bent his frosty eyes.
“I will teach you the horrors of fighting.”
