Chapter 298
Tacheon descended slowly, as if stepping on a staircase built in the sky. divine and demonic. A bizarre aura that seemed to blend chaos and order into one body bloomed from his body.
Raon narrowed his eyes as he looked at Tacheon, who created a presence that seemed to be beyond human.
‘Did Tacheon come after all?’
In Eden, there are two people who have reached the level of being able to stop the white blood cult, but there is only one active person.
‘It’s to the point where I can’t feel its presence.’
Tacheon’s mana was so huge that I couldn’t feel his energy. It felt like facing an endless ocean.
‘so.’
After Raon forcibly lowered his gaze, he tapped Lars.
‘What does mixed mean?’
– Literally.
Ras answered without taking his head away from Tacheon.
-That guy has the energy of one of the demon kings.
‘… A demon king?’
As soon as I said Demon King, I thought of the sloth I encountered at Habun Castle. An overwhelming wave that seemed to shatter the sky. Even now, after reaching the Master Intermediate level, it seemed that I would not be able to stand properly in front of him.
-The interesting thing is that half of him is pure divinity. Did you say Tacheon? You have a good name.
Lars looked up at Tacheon and laughed.
-There is only one crazy person who would do such a thing.
‘Who is that madman?’
– Pride.
Lars glared at Tacheon and wrinkled his nose. He continued with an annoyed expression he hadn’t seen before.
-The lord of <Pride>.
‘Pride… .’
Raon muttered the word pride and swallowed dryly. Just hearing the name sent chills up his spine.
‘Come to think of it, this guy said it often.’
Lars has talked about Pride a few times, and each time it’s gotten a not-so-good response. Considering his personality, Pride seemed to be a demon king strong enough to be on par with Lars.
‘Then is pride tied to that guy’s body like me and you?’
-That’s not it. I can’t feel the very existence of Pride from him.
Lars shook his head in disapproval.
‘her… .’
Raon’s hand holding the sword bottle trembled.
‘The head of Eden had a relationship with the demon king… .’
Because it was unimaginable, it was even more embarrassing than the appearance of the White Blood Religion Master.
“Then what about that woman?”
He pointed at the Baekhyeol religious leader, who was leisurely looking at Tacheon from inside the palanquin.
-I don’t know.
‘uh?’
– That’s why he hides his power thoroughly. I don’t know if it’s normal, but I can’t see inside because my energy is running high.
Lars shook his head with a drooping face. Not helpful when it really matters.
Tuuk.
Tacheon showed his dignity and descended to the ground. Her existence itself is shining so much that it is said that her face shines.
If he was an ordinary person who knew nothing, he would have thought he was a god.
“after… .”
Raon spat out the takgi that had filled his lungs.
‘It’s already a sign.’
I had to use this as an opportunity not to be intimidated by the enemies, but to grasp the situation and figure out a way out somehow.
“long time no see. The white-blooded lord.”
Tacheon approached the palanquin where the Baekhyeol cult leader was seated. The mask with the young man’s face on it painted a soft smile.
“You’ve changed again.”
He turned his head slightly as he looked at the white blood priest in the red feet.
“It’s about time.”
The white-blooded priest was not taken aback when he saw Tacheon, and let out a boredom-like laugh.
“Is this the first time you’ve seen it in person since the Omar Convention?”
“no. I saw him once after that.”
“Ah, yes.”
The two gave off a gentle atmosphere as if they had met acquaintances after a long time. However, deep inside their voices, there was a chilly aura that could freeze their blood.
“If you had called, I would have visited you, but why did you come all the way here?”
Tacheon took a step towards the palanquin and swept down his sleeve. Whether it was because of the mask or because of the atmosphere, every action seemed to be full of dignity.
“I have something I want.”
“If you want something… .”
“That child.”
The white blood priest extended his finger out of his red foot and pointed at Raon.
“Do you want me to take you?”
“Hmm.”
Tacheon turned his head and looked at Raon. The mouth of the mask strangely bent upwards.
“Unfortunately, I cannot honor that request.”
“why?”
The Baekhyeol religious leader asked confidently as if he had left Raon in his care.

“Every member of Eden came together to give back. I don’t know anything else, but I don’t do anything to hand over my comrades.”
Tacheon recited exactly what the Golden Face Master had said to the Baekhyeol cult.
“And that pitch is special.”
“Is it special?”
“That blue dragon’s helmet was not made by me. Merlin built it from start to finish. Neither the helmet nor the person wearing it is mine, so how can I give it to you?”
He said it as politely as possible, then shook his head.
Raon bit his lip.
‘I’m going to die of tension.’
Contrary to expectations, the two monsters were so calm that there was no room for them to intervene. After using the ring of fire to clear my head, I waited for an opportunity.
“It’s Merlin.”
The white blood priest touched his lips with his thin fingers and smiled.
“Then I couldn’t go away empty-handed even more? She was the one who suddenly intervened in our plans and took Raon away.”
“Ah, something like that happened.”
Tacheon licked his lips briefly as if he didn’t know that. However, his expression was still calm. He felt as if he was saying, “What should I do?”
“It’s a pity, but he’s already put on his helmet. I’ll say it again. Eden does not pass over its comrades.”
Hearing that he was a comrade, Raon let out a fuss. I don’t know whether to say that I’m crazy or thank you for saying something like that in front of the white blooded religious leader.
“Then make a bet with me.”
The white blood priest raised a finger.
“How about a bet?”
“I said that kid was a member of Eden, so of course it’s a bet with him.”
It would be simple and fun, she continued.
“Hmm.”
Tacheon turned around and looked at Raon. She swept her mask lightly as if in distress.
Raon narrowed his eyes as he looked at the White Blood Religion Master and Tacheon.
‘Now is my chance.’
It is advantageous to accept that bet in order to antagonize Tacheon and the White Blood Religion. I had to receive it unconditionally.
“I am not yours. Only the princess can give me orders.”
He scratched his voice harshly, as if provoking.
‘It has to be eaten.’
He said that he received the power of pride, so even though he looks polite, in reality he must be arrogant. Seeing that he is not being pushed back by the white blooded leader, he is not the kind of person to stay quiet even after hearing these words.
“I have a duty to protect my fellow countrymen. But that… .”
Tacheon’s eyes narrowed slightly.
“It’s only when he’s a member with the goal of giving back.”
He turned his head and looked at the white blood priest.
“Tell me. What bet do you want to make?”
“Simple. If that kid really got eaten by the spirit of the helmet, I’d get my hands off it. But if that child has overcome the spirit of the helmet, I will take him.”
The white blood priest waved his hand leisurely.
“Then it doesn’t matter since I’m not a member of you, right?”
“How are you going to find out if he’s been eaten by the helmet’s spirit or not?”
“There is a way.”
She laughed, saying there’s a way to find out exactly.
“great. I accept it. However, I also have a condition.”
“condition?”
“yes. I will allow it if Merlin approves of it after the method the headmaster has in mind.”
“good.”
The white-blooded priest nodded as if he were confident.
“Then show me. How to figure out if that kid was eaten by the helmet or not.”
Tacheon stretched out his hand as if asking him to do whatever he wanted.
Raon swallowed a dry spit while watching the white blood religious leader and Tacheon.
‘Both of them don’t think they’re losing.’
They didn’t think they would lose to each other no matter how the bet turned out. He was full of confidence that he would not lose himself no matter how the outcome of this bet was decided.
‘This is convenient.’
I already had everything in my head about what Lokta would do. Because he absorbed his soul, his identity was never revealed through his words and actions.
The best result is the war between Eden and the White Blood Church. Recalling that goal, he calmed his mind.
“good.”
The White Blooded Master nodded as if he liked it. As she cast her gaze to her side, her five apostles came out in front of her.
As the 5 apostles used their blood, a man enveloped in gray aura rose from the gray puddle that soared beneath his feet.
Whoa!
His blood is released and his figure is revealed. Fluffy green hair and pure puppy-like eyes. He was a guy you couldn’t know.
‘why? Why is that guy here… .’
Dorian. My heart sank the moment I saw the guy with his eyes wide open. Because I never imagined he would be here.
‘Huh… .’
Raon bit the tip of his tongue to hide his embarrassment.
-What! Why are your pockets over there!
‘Maybe then… .’
It reminded him of Dorian throwing something as Merlin was sucking himself into the box he had opened. It seemed that he was captured by the 10 apostles after that.
“We were able to come all the way here thanks to this child who sprinkled Continental incense on Raon.”
The white-blooded priest stroked Dorian’s head. His hair, sticking out like his antennae, sank.
‘Continental follow-up. That was it.’
The 10 apostles found out what you sprinkled on me.
It was clear that the White Blood Church had come all the way to this place by using Dorian’s Continental Followers.
‘It was dirty and twisted.’
Dorian would have sprinkled continental incense to save himself, but the situation went to the worst. It was so unexpected that his head was turbid.
“You did a great job.”
Even though Tacheon knew the situation, he nodded leisurely. Pride. It was a personality that made me realize that he was given the power of a guy named Pride.
“Now you know what I’m going to bet?”
When the white blood priest pointed a finger at him, the 5 apostles took Dorian and stood in front of Raon.
“If Raon kills this child, I will admit my defeat. But if he doesn’t kill this kid, I’ll take him.”
She smiled as if she was sure she would win.
‘shit… .’
I felt a cold sweat running down my back. I’m glad I wore a helmet. If his expression had been revealed, he would have been caught at once.
‘There is no way.’
It is not easy to entrust your body to Lars if you have Dorian. If he goes berserk, I’ll kill the nearest Dorian first.
“It’s not bad, but it’s a little vague.”
Tacheon looked at Dorian and tilted his head.
“Eating a human soul does not make you that person. That kid just put on a helmet yesterday. He is not yet in perfect contact with his soul and body.”
‘I have to act now.’
Raon bit his lip as he looked at Tacheon, who seemed not to like the bet.
“Apart from that, why do I have to kill that child?”
He glared at Dorian with an expression of incomprehension.
“I am a knight. I don’t do things like swinging a sword at someone for no reason.”
He shook his head, reciting what Lokta must have said.
‘please… .’
His expression was confident, but his heart was not. He clenched his fists, hoping that Tacheon would oppose the bet.
“Isn’t it like smoke?”
Inside the red feet, the eyes of the white blood priest flashed.
“I think I won the bet.”
“no.”
Tacheon shook his head.
“The soul that dwelled in that helmet was a dragonian, Lokta Deport, who was the leader of the knights. It is not unusual for a knight to say such a thing.”
“Huh.”
“So you have to speak properly.”
He stepped over to Dorian’s side. He pointed to the pattern of the sword stuck upside down on his uniform top.
“You see this? This inverted sword is the symbol of our greatest enemy. In other words, the enemy of Merlin you serve.”
Tacheon touched Sieghart’s pattern and smiled.
“Merlin suffered a major injury to his chest not too long ago, and that was their fault.”
“after… .”
Raon feigned anger and exhaled a low breath.
‘That’s not a lie.’
It reminded me of Cheryl’s double-sword swordsman when she chased Merlin away. Tacheon was talking about what happened then.
“That swordsman is our enemy, and one of the culprits who hurt Merlin. Would that be the reason?”
Suffice. If only Merlin was the center of the world, Lokta, he would have cut Dorian right here and now.
However, he is not Lokta, but Raon Sieghart. He could never cut Dorian.
“Then can you make it easier?”
The white blood priest snapped his fingers. A snapping sound spread through the air, and at the same time, light returned to Dorian’s large eyes.
“uh? Hey, where are you… Ugh!”
Dorian groaned at the sight of the strange palanquins, the white-blooded cultists surrounding them, and the ghosts wearing helmets. When he saw the Ten Apostles for the last time, his chin trembled as if he remembered the time he was kidnapped.
‘A terrible bastard.’
This isn’t helping, it’s no different than stabbing with a knife. The white-blooded cult leader clearly knew that he had not been eaten by the helmet.
“uh… ?”
Dorian, who had been rolling his eyes endlessly in anxiety, stopped when he saw Raon. He widened his eyes at the blue dragon’s helmet and the uniform and sword beneath it.
“Boo, Vice Lord?”
Hearing the man’s simple voice, goosebumps ran through his body. A sense of danger rang an alarm in my head. If something went wrong, everyone could die here.
“I will say it again. This man belongs to Sieghart, one of our main enemies. Cutting this man is for Merlin’s sake.”
“… Right.”
Raon squeezed his sword bottle tightly and looked at Dorian.
“ah!”
Dorian shut his mouth tightly as he saw his own eyes reflected in the helmet. Frightened eyes trembled.
‘I recognized it.’
Having been together for so long, Dorian seemed to know that he hadn’t been eaten by the helm.
“Then you accept the bet?”
The white blood priest smirked and gestured toward Tacheon.
“yes. As I said at the end, I’ll send it to you once Merlin’s confirmation is complete. But it doesn’t look like it’s going to move easily. Didn’t we tell you the time?”
Tachun smiled lightly and shook his head.
“Ah, I wish I had decided sooner.”
When the white blood priest turned his head to the right, an old man wearing a palanquin came forward. Even with three people supporting the bridge, the palanquin did not shake.
Woo woo!
As the old man stamped his foot, a long, wall-like channel of blood opened from the floor. 10 men and women rose from the muddy blood. All of them, like Dorian, had their eyes closed.
“They say knights can’t stand injustice, right? From now on, one person per minute.”
As soon as her words mixed with laughter ended, the old man drove his teeth into the neck of the young man in front of him and tore off his flesh.
Poududeuk!
Blood spurted from the decapitated corpse and dripped onto Raon’s shoulder.
“The teacher is still the same. Well, I’m not bad if it’s definitely taken care of quickly.”
Tacheon smiled innocently like a child as he watched the red blood soaking the floor.
“Aagh!”
Dorian’s lips quivered when he saw the man standing next to him lose his neck in an instant. His pupils trembled endlessly.
Pudeudeuk.
Raon gripped the blade of the Jecheon Sword so hard that it broke.
‘He knows too.’
Tacheon also knew that he had not been eaten by the pitch. He knows and makes fun of it. He is knowingly enjoying this situation.
“Whoop whoop.”
“ha ha ha.”
The laughter of the two monsters did not sound human. My heart tightened as if I saw the smile of the devil who thinks of people as his prey.
“Hoo-wook… .”
A sense of death creeps in from the breath you inhale.
When a fight breaks out, it’s good to get out, but that’s when you’re thinking about saving yourself.
Both the White Blood Religion Master and Tacheon were the ones to kill before passing on to the other if they didn’t have their own. It was the worst, unexpected moment.
big… .
Raon sighed as he looked at Dorian, who was terrified, and nine people who didn’t know anything.
“What are you doing? A minute passes?”
“Please cut down Merlin’s enemies like a knight.”
Baekhyeol Gyoju and Tacheon calmed their voices as if they were bored.
Pucak!
The old man broke the second woman’s heart in less than a minute. She passed away without the woman knowing of her own death.
“Two.”
“How long will it go?”
they are crazy They are insane to the extent that I have never seen them, including both previous and present lives.
He said he wanted to take him with him, but he didn’t even think about anything after that. It was an excruciating arrogance.
But I couldn’t resist. the air speaks If you do anything stupid here, you will die.
The hair all over the body stood on end from the intangible aura generated by the absolutes. Thoughts that were nothing but self-consolation came to his mind one by one.
They were people who would die anyway.
Even if it wasn’t for me, I would have become food for the Blood Bridge.
I have work to do. I can’t die here because of them.
And Dorian, Dorian… .
Raon swallowed dryly as he looked at Dorian.
Dorian is the one I spent the most time with and showed the most heart to, outside of my family. He didn’t even say that he would throw it away, even if it was a lie.
method. A way out… .
If you don’t kill Dorian here, Tacheon will kill you, and if you don’t kill Dorian, the White Blood Religion Master will aim for you.
Dorian will die even if he surrenders himself to Lars. He felt like he was standing at a crossroads of death with no way out.
“Raon Sieghart!”
Dorian glared at Raon.
“You stupid bastard!”
He groaned and bit his lip. Blood dripped and fell to the floor.
“I didn’t like you from the start! I thought I was going to be like this while pretending to be proud. There hasn’t been a single day I haven’t had fun with you!”
Dorian’s eyes twitched as if they were distorted.
“Get it right! Not just me, nobody likes a cheeky guy like you!”
“… … .”
“Why are you shutting your mouth! kill! All you know how to do is make fun of your mouth! Kill me while being arrogant!”
Raon gripped the swordsman even tighter.
‘Dorian… .’
Dorian’s eyes didn’t waver anymore. determined eyes.
That stupid coward was telling me to muster up the courage and kill him.
Instead of sharp resentment or cursing, which is usually done before death, only empty criticism was given. It’s about taking care of yourself until the end.
“under!”
Raon laughed and shook his head.
‘That guy can’t even swear properly. But brave.’
much more than me
He was a much better guy than he was, who was looking for a way to get away while soiling himself.
‘You have to live servilely. It doesn’t make any sense.’
A life lived like a rat is enough for a previous life. This life won’t end like that.
Thanks to Dorian’s courage, I was able to put my mind together.
“It’s going to be fun.”
“This is what makes humans interesting.”
The white blood priest and Tacheon smiled. The two of them laughed together as if it didn’t matter.
Raon no longer looked at them. He made his way between Dorian and the hostages, holding the ancestral sword.
‘Ras. you will get angry Because it’s good for a while… .’
-You don’t need it. Because the king was also pissed off.
Lars frowned at Dorian crying.
– Even if you are stupid and dull, you are the king’s subordinate. I’ll help you as much as I can now.
‘thank you.’
Raon nodded and stood at the center of Dorian and the hostages.
“You stupid child.”
“Ugh… .”
Dorian closed his eyes, prepared for death.
“after.”
Raon pulled out two swords at the same time. The snow wind sword raged in the left handed requiem sword, and the mad sword revealed it in the excellent jecheon sword.
Wow!
The requiem sword was lodged in the neck of the 5 apostles who were holding Dorian, and the celestial sword pierced the old man’s chest.
Pukaaaaaa!
When both swords were pulled out at the same time, a bloody amount of blood spurted from the necks of the 5 apostles, and the old man fell to his knees.
“Because you live dirty.”
Raon took off the blue dragon’s helmet. The bright red eyes did not lose their color even in front of absolutes.
“I’d rather die here.”
