Chapter 728
Glenn’s hand on the armrest of the throne trembled.
‘Derus Robert… .’
Derus Robert is a strongman at the top of the Six Emperors.
He could have been a swordsman wearing a blue dragon helmet because he possessed a force that could not be surpassed by even a holy swordsman, but he had a solid alibi.
‘The Chamber, the Mage Tower lord, and Recross have all confirmed that Derus is staying in the family.’
According to the words of the Mage Tower, Derus never escaped the burn magic even for a moment.
Unless he uses an alter ego, it is impossible for him to become a swordsman wearing a blue dragon helmet.
‘Still, it’s true that it’s suspicious.’
Sometimes, when I made eye contact with Derus Robert, I felt strangely creepy.
Even though his eyes had a kinder light than anyone else’s, I felt an eerie feeling as if a blade had been pressed to my throat.
Since the eyes are the passage to the heart and the gateway to the soul, I thought to myself that Derus’ true temperament might not be good, but evil.
‘but… .’
Even if it’s strange, there’s no proof.
Derus is a perfect human being in everything, including his strength, humanity, and background.
Even though Sieghardt’s favorability level increased a lot thanks to Raon, he could not keep up with the Robert family in terms of public popularity.
If we touch it hastily, a large-scale war on a different level from the time of the North-South alliance will break out.
“La, Raon… .”
Cheryl’s eyes widened as if she was embarrassed by Raon’s words.
“Derus Robert, do you know what it means to bring up that name?”
Her lips trembled in disbelief.
“Master Raon. Are you serious?”
Roen also couldn’t close his mouth, as if he couldn’t accept this situation.
“Is there any evidence?”
Unlike Cheryl and Roen, Glenn tilted his chin with a calm complexion.
“there is.”
Raon looked into Glenn’s calm eyes and nodded.
“Do you remember the incident where the Holy Sword Master and the White Blood Cult Master attacked the Hsinchu Five Spirits?”
“I can’t forget it. “You weren’t missing.”
Even though Glenn brought up a topic that had nothing to do with Derus, he answered calmly without prodding.
“I was attacked twice while escaping from there. The first was a disciple of Seonggeomryeonju… .”
“Know. “You said he was an assassin, right?”
“yes. However, it was not an ordinary assassin, but an assassin who committed suicide by throwing his body. “It was a product of necromancy with the name of a messenger.”
“Necromancy… ?”
His eyes became bloodshot as if he was surprised to hear this for the first time.
“We were able to capture the owner who was controlling the receiver and find out information about the factory that made those monsters. “I couldn’t go there at the time, so I grabbed Kaibar the Light Dragon and visited the factory on my way back.”
Raon told me everything about how he destroyed the cargo factory with the help of the black market.
“I was waiting on the outskirts of town because I thought the real owner of the factory might come looking for me, but a person I had never imagined appeared there.”
“No way… .”
Glenn asked, his legs shaking.
“yes. It was Derus Robert. He seemed angry that the factory was ruined, so he killed his subordinates without hesitation and then took off his blood-soaked gloves… .”
Raon swallowed dry saliva and raised his voice.
“On the back of his hand was a scar like that of a swordsman wearing a blue dragon helmet.”
He clenched his fists, saying it was an incredible wound.
“Now, wait a minute!”
Cheryl couldn’t hold back and jumped forward.
“They said there were black marketeers in that place. But why that information… .”
“Denzel and the agents didn’t know he was Derus Robert. “He was wearing a mask, and he had no Aurors.”
“Then how did you know?”
“I have developed the ability to read other people’s mana and temperament beyond my military strength. “I recognized Derus right away because I met him in person at the Six Emperors’ Meeting.”
Raon took a deep breath and raised his head.
“I thought that if I revealed Derus’ identity on the spot, Denzel and the black market could be in danger, so I kept quiet.”
After explaining everything, I looked at Glenn, Cheryl, and Roen. The three people just looked at this direction with shaking eyes, as if they were at a loss for words.
-Isn’t that all a lie?
Lars shook his head, shouting that Gura was all over the place.
‘that’s right. It’s a lie. But it’s not all lies.’
Half of what I told Glenn was a lie.
It is true that the Derus receiver visited the factory, but he did not reveal his identity or take off his gloves.
It’s a lie that will be quickly discovered if you talk to Derus, but it doesn’t matter. Because it was true that we could reveal his identity.
“The swordsman wearing the blue dragon helmet had regenerative powers greater than that of a troll, but he could not erase the wounds on the back of his hands. “Everyone there saw it, so it would be easy to reveal the identity if only the wounds were revealed.”
Raon knelt down and asked me to trust him.
“Raon.”
Glenn called him Raon, not Gwangpungdaeju.
“yes. “Matriarch.”
Raon slowly looked up and grabbed her trembling wrist.
‘It’s real from here.’
From now on, Glenn, Cheryl, and Roen will ask sharp questions.
Only by solving all of their questions can we bring this matter to the surface.

But what Glenn said was completely different from what Raon imagined.
“It must have been difficult… .”
Glenn chewed his lip with deep wrinkles forming between his eyebrows.
“yes?”
Raon blinked his eyes blankly. It was completely unexpected, so he had no idea how to react. His head felt empty.
“crime. sorry. Because I couldn’t tell you in advance… .”
“no. Okay.”
I was about to apologize, but Glenn cut me off firmly, as if it wasn’t necessary.
“I have to tell the others first, so I’ll call you again in the evening.”
Glenn waved his hand as if to tell me to go back.
“Ah yes… .”
Raon glanced at Sheryl and Roen and left the throne room with his shoulders slumped.
Wow.
The iron door of the throne room closed with a colder sound than ever before.
“ha… .”
Cheryl let out a long sigh, clutching her forehead as if she had a headache.
“It’s surprising that Derus is the guy wearing the dragon helmet, but I’m even more shocked by Raon.”
She chewed her lip as she looked at where Raon was standing.
“I don’t know how I’ve been hiding this scary fact until now.”
“Me too.”
Roen nodded with a hardened complexion.
“My hands are shaking, but it’s amazing that you’ve held on by yourself so far.”
He lowered his gaze, saying that he seemed to have greater mental power than me.
“… … .”
Glenn’s shoulders trembled as he pulverized the armrests of the throne.
‘I can’t imagine how difficult it must have been for that little guy.’
Derus has the greatest power on this continent.
It is natural that Raon cannot open his mouth without permission. He felt like his heart was being torn apart as he thought of his grandson, who must have been suffering alone in worry.
‘You don’t have to resemble Sylvia in this way… .’
Why are you so considerate?
I wish I had foolishly reported it right away, but Raon was so kind and thoughtful.
It was clear that he didn’t want to harm others, as he kept his mouth shut until he found out more concrete information and only now brought it out.
‘There… .’
Glenn buried his face in his hands.
‘I guess I was untrustworthy.’
Since he always showed his harsh side and pushed him away, it was natural that he would not be trusted.
I felt like my heart was being squeezed by a wire, regretting that I couldn’t get closer to him sooner.
‘I am so sorry.’
I bowed my head and apologized to Raon, who was not here.
‘Instead, I will handle this matter clearly.’
Glenn steeled himself and stretched out his hand to Roen.
“To connect the chamber and burn magic.”
“All right.”
Roen raised his bowed head and floated a blue window in the center of the throne room.
[What’s going on at this time?]
Chambers, who was licking a lollipop, lifted up a large witch hat.
“Is there anyone around?”
[huh. Are there any kids?]
Chamber pointed to the wizards in her room as if to say hello.
“I have something to talk to you about.”
[what? Shall I at least confess?]
She laughed and sent all the wizards away.
[Everyone is gone, so speak quickly. What’s going on?]
Chamber stretched out his hand as if curious.
“From now on, there is no lie whatsoever in what I say.”
Glenn chewed his lip until it bled, vowing not only to take down Derus, but also Robert himself.
‘Raon. I will risk my life too.’
* * *
Raon tilted his head as he left the family battle.
‘What on earth?’
There were a few holes in what I said to Glenn a little while ago.
It was a loophole created on purpose, and I even prepared an answer, but I didn’t expect that there would be no response.
‘There’s no way the head of the family doesn’t know?’
Glenn has a strong heart and does not panic even while fighting Omaset. There’s no way she would be embarrassed even if the person wearing the blue dragon helmet was Derus, so I don’t know why she just let him go.
-Why is that old man doing that?
Lars also furrowed his eyebrows as if he didn’t understand.
‘I do not know either.’
I nodded at Lars’ words and took a deep breath.
‘Things went well, but I never thought I’d be more worried.’
It seemed like there was a big difference between the Glenn Sieghardt I had seen and the real Glenn Sieghardt.
Raon headed to the training center to clear his dizzy hair. He planned to practice until Glenn found him again.
As I opened the door and went in, I heard the sound of a sword swinging from inside.
‘Martha?’
The person swinging the sword in the training hall was Marta. She must have been training for a while and her whole body was wet with sweat.
“Are you practicing even on vacation?”
Raon raised his hand as he approached Marta.
“I feel like I’ll die if I stay still.”
Martha lowered her sword and let out a heavy breath.
“You feel like you’re going to die?”
“okay. “I can’t rest because it feels like her mother is crying out for help.”
The hand holding the sword trembled and she gritted her teeth.
“… … .”
Raon lowered his eyebrows deeply as he saw Martha swinging the sword again.
‘You must be in more pain than me.’
I will end this pain by taking revenge on Derus, but Martha must not only catch the white blood cult leader, but also rescue her mother who is captured by her.
Is there anyone who doesn’t have a story, but the pain that Heaven gave Martha seemed like it could not be surpassed by anyone else?
-The things in heaven are ugly and dirty!
Ras snorted, telling me not to even bring up the story of the Elyos and Gods.
‘But the good news is… .’
It could be that you are controlling your anger.
Instead of venting her anger like she used to, Martha focused on what she could do.
Even now, her power continued to grow.
“Martha.”
Raon shook off the black dragon cloth and pointed a finger at Marta.
“Should we spar for the first time in a while?”
“I was waiting to hear when you would call me, but it’s good.”
Martha narrowed her eyebrows and turned this way. She also understood that her sparring led to faster growth.
“Be patient even if it hurts.”
Raon pulled out his sword as if he had no intention of paying attention. He wielded a blade that cut through death and created a cartoon ball of flame above it.
“I’ve endured pain my whole life!”
Marta rushed towards me with her teeth clenched as if telling her to come as soon as she could.
Coooooo!
* * *
After Raon finished sparring with Marta, he returned to the Gaju battle under Loen’s guidance.
Upon entering the throne room, four blue windows were opened, showing the faces of the heads of the six emperors.
Naturally, Derus Robert’s face was not visible.
[The main character is too late.]
Chamber waved his hand as if it had been a while.
[Raon. really… You must have had a hard time.]
Ogram frowned and let out a deep sigh.
[You are a man who cannot even be described as a knight.]
King Recross nodded loudly, as if he was proud of him.
[Ugh, if it were me, I would have told you everything a long time ago and it would have been easier.]
The magic tower lord’s whole body trembled, with only his eyes exposed beneath his robe.
“… … .”
Glenn stood up from the throne and closed his eyes.
Looking at the situation, it seemed like I had heard the situation from Glenn, but surprisingly, the atmosphere was not chaotic.
[Raon.]
Chambers snapped her fingers, and her face and body burst forward through the blue window.
[I heard it from you, but can you tell me again what you experienced?]
“All right.”
Raon nodded and explained to everyone in the Six Emperors what he had told Glenn.
[In the end, the snake cub wearing the blue dragon helmet is Derus Robert, right?]
Chamber asked, twisting his mouth.
“yes. “I’m sure.”
Raon nodded without hesitation.
‘I guess this is the beginning.’
The leaders of the Six Emperors are different from Glenn. From now on, you will be asked a series of sharp questions, so you need to think carefully and nip doubts in the bud.
[Actually, I was a bit suspicious of that kid too.]
Chamber nodded calmly.
[There was no way that the Heavenly Demon or the Black Tower Lord would appear with their faces covered, so I thought it was the retired Sword Emperor or the King of Fighters or just Derus.]
She stretched out her fingers one by one and named the suspicious characters.
[I intentionally didn’t call him to the battlefield and just put him in the corner of the room, but I couldn’t find anything strange.]
Chamber also clicked his tongue, saying he was just keeping it to himself.
[I believe you.]
Ogram nodded calmly as if there were no questions.
[I’m dizzy.]
King Recross sighed briefly.
[There are a few strange things in the testimony of the Great Lord Gwangpung, but apart from that, I can’t believe that Derus committed such an extremely evil act.]
He touched his forehead as if he was having a hard time.
“If you tell me what’s strange…” .”
[I don’t think that’s necessary. If you receive such a promise, you have no choice but to believe it.]
King Recross was doubtful, but nodded, saying he would believe it.
[Ugh, I don’t want to fight… .]
The Master of Magic didn’t raise his head, as if he hated this whole situation.
“uh… ?”
Raon’s eyelids trembled as he looked at the leaders of the Six Emperors.
‘What is this?’
What’s going on?
It is no one else, but the Sixth Emperor Derus Robert.
It was absurd that no one was suspicious when he was considered a villain who was no different from a continental hero.
“excuse me… .”
Raon raised his hand with a bewildered look.
“You must have questions, why don’t you ask questions?”
The Emperor Yuk’s reaction was so strange that he was asked to ask a question first.
[I will not.]
Chamber shook his head.
“why… .”
[I don’t want to die.]
She shrugged and stepped back.
[I retreated because I saw the will of the head of the family.]
King Recross also shook his head, saying he had no intention of asking questions.
“What do you mean by that?”
Raon blinked as he looked at Chamber and then at King Recross.
[Your matriarch said he would risk his life for your remarks.]
Ogram pointed at Glenn and twisted his mouth.
[This is the first time that a cold-hearted person has said he is willing to risk his life, so I have no choice but to believe him.]
He nodded as if it was an obvious decision.
“ah… .”
Raon looked back at Glenn with his lips trembling.
“Go, matriarch… ?”
“I saw your eyes. “There were no lies mixed in.”
Glenn said that was enough and chewed his lip slightly.
“With my own eyes… ?”
It was so different from Glenn’s personality that I had seen so far that it took my breath away.
I couldn’t believe they showed this level of trust no matter how close they were to me.
[Of course, I don’t believe in that old man’s life alone.]
Chamber came forward again and waved his finger.
[I trust you.]
She smiled and set her chin.
[I know all about the achievements you have made so far and the performance you showed in this war, so how can I not believe you?]
[Same.]
Ogram then nodded.
[You are the savior of my life. No matter which path you take, I will follow you.]
He raised his fist, saying he would pay his debt with his life even if he had to go to hell.
[Me too. I have trusted you since I helped my third child.]
King Recross laughed, saying that he had not yet repaid his debt for sparing Greer’s life.
[Derus is anxious… .]
The Mage Tower trembled his lips and raised his gaze.
[He was definitely there, but he seemed like a different person.]
[what? Then you should have said that!]
Chamber frowned, asking what he was doing.
[That’s not a theory or result, it’s just my feeling… .]
The magic tower lord shook his head, saying that feelings are the emotions a wizard should avoid the most.
[Ugh! Testimony!]
Chambers pounded his chest and shook his head.
[Okay. Let’s move on. Because Derus is not a fool either. Somehow, I will erase the scars on the back of my hands. And in a way that I or other inspirations cannot find.]
She lifted her witch’s hat slightly, saying she needed to find a way to reveal her wounds.
“There is a way.”
Raon stepped in front of the blue window.
[really?]
“yes. He couldn’t even erase the wounds I inflicted. “If you use the manga ball’s energy, you will definitely be able to reveal the scars on the backs of your hands.”
He changed the ring of anger and fire into a cartoon ball and nodded.
Since there might be Derus’ spies among them, the real plan had to be kept hidden until the end.
[Oh, that’s right!]
Chamber nodded quickly.
[One of the wounds on the back of his hand was yours!]
She smiled, saying that she understood now.
[Good! Then let’s make a plan. A plan to unmask that worm!]
[It would be better to hold a meeting of the Six Emperors as soon as possible.]
Ogram chewed his lip, saying he wanted to see Derus’ face as soon as possible.
[If you go too fast, you might get suspicious. It will take about a week.]
King Lecross tapped his fingers, saying they would do it next week.
“The Beast League would be a good location. “Ogram has an excuse because he’s injured, and he’s close to Robert, so even if he runs away, we’ll be able to find him right away.”
Glenn made eye contact with the leaders of the Six Emperors and nodded.
The meeting proceeded quickly, and it was decided to hold a meeting of the Six Emperors at the Beast League a week later.
Goooooh.
Raon clenched his fists as he watched the leaders of the six emperors making detailed plans. He strengthened his will once again, raising the blade that would cut through death in his heart.
‘Derus Robert.’
Now is the beginning of my revenge.
