Chapter 303
-Even if you’re a benevolent king, you can’t just get past this!
‘Mercy is a piece of shit.’
Raon let out a sigh. Looking at Lars’ half-turned eyes, it seemed that he was going to have another seizure. I ignored it and looked at the messages that popped up all the time.
[You witnessed the sword touching transcendence.]
[All stats increase by 10 points.]
[Three lines of sword marks are engraved in the mental world.]
[The achievement of the swordsmanship attribute increases.]
[The title <survivor> is created.]
When I saw the message, I burst into exclamation.
‘To give such a reward… .’
No, is it natural?
He fought fierce battles, used the power of las, and watched the transcendents fight. Considering the work he had done, it wasn’t too strange to receive this level of compensation.
– Aaaaaaa! damn it!
Of course, I couldn’t accept the generously given Hogu and screamed.
Whoa!
As all stats increased by 10 points, the pain subsided as if all wounds had been healed.
‘I can take this anytime.’
The wound didn’t actually heal, but the ecstasy that accompanies the rise in abilities reduced the heat of the pain. I was feeling a bit relieved now.
‘What are the three lines of sword marks that are said to be engraved in the spirit world?’
It is said that three lines of sword marks will be engraved in the space where he fought Lokta and endured Ras, but he could not exactly figure out what it meant.
-That’s exactly what it says.
Lars rolled his eyes. It seemed like he was annoyed, but it didn’t touch me at all because it looked like cotton candy.
-It means that not only the mental world, but also the sword marks that I saw in person will be engraved in your brain.
‘Sword marks? no way… .’
-That’s right. Your family head opened the sword world and the three sword techniques he used were embedded in your head.
‘mi… friend.’
Raon unknowingly shook his chin.
‘His swordsmanship is engraved on his head? Those three swords?’
I don’t know what kind of swordsmanship Glenn used, but I know that his martial arts is one of the few transcendent swordsmanships on the continent. It was said that such a great swordsmanship was engraved on her head, and her heart beat like crazy with two bats.
‘Then I’ll take that sword… .’
– I can’t use it.
Lars shook his head resolutely.
-Your level is at the level of a fairy.
He raised his hand as high as the pillow on the bed.
-Actually, this is also because I paid a lot for seeing your growth.
‘Then what about the head of the household?’
-That inspiration… .
Lars frowned and floated up into the air, pointing at the ceiling.
‘Is it the ceiling?’
– It goes beyond this ceiling and reaches the sky. You guys are not even worthy of a single finger of inspiration.
The guy gnashed his teeth, telling me not to even dream of touching Glenn.
‘I thought so.’
Raon smiled and nodded. Glenn was the one who said that Lars had to fight tens of thousands to defeat him, and he must have been more than that now. To look at such transcendent people, his realm was too low.
‘Then, does that mean that I can know what that swordsmanship is like when my realm rises?’
-That’s right. I don’t know when that will be.
Lars teased that that day might not come in his lifetime.
‘That’s it.’
That’s enough. It would be enough if one day I could know what Glenn’s swordsmanship was like.
‘Because I have no intention of writing the same.’
Instead of copying Glenn’s sword, you should open your own sword world by referring to his swordsmanship. You cannot rise to the top by simply copying others.
‘If I suck your abilities, I’ll reach them someday.’
– Profit… .
As I smiled and waved my hand, Lars’ eyes narrowed. I can’t win with words anyway, so I don’t know why I always fight against him.
Raon lightly defeated Lars and saw the next message.
‘The rise of all swordsmanship attributes.’
It means that all the achievements of the swordsmanship tricks you are learning have improved as you see Glenn’s swordsmanship transformed into a sword through the ring of fire.
Not just one, but all the swordsmanships he had learned had risen, he couldn’t believe it.
‘Both are true… .’
I don’t know if I should praise the Ring of Fire or thank Glenn.
‘finally.’
Raon saw the message at the bottom and immediately checked the contents of the title.
<The Survivor>
A title given to those who find a way to survive without losing their composure even in times of crisis.
Abilities: All stats + 5, cool head when in danger.
Reading the contents, it seemed like the title he received thanks to his plan for the future while taking care of their treasures even though he was kidnapped by Eden.
‘It’s fine.’
Even if you have lived as an assassin, there are times when your body or mind becomes stiff in moments of crisis. It was a title that would come in handy in such a bad situation.

‘Whoa… .’
After checking all the contents of the message, Raon smiled with satisfaction.
‘This reward is the best.’
Among them, I liked that the level of swordsmanship had risen and that Glenn’s swordsmanship was engraved in the mental world.
‘It must have gotten closer to the realization of the sword world.’
Since the spiritual world has grown, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is getting closer to the sword realm.
‘I want to move my body quickly.’
My limbs itch. I wanted to swing the sword right away.
-hey!
‘Are you still complaining? now stop… .’
-That’s not it!
When Raon sighed, Lars pushed his face in.
– I have something to ask you.
‘hmm?’
Raon narrowed his eyes. Contrary to expectations, Lars’ complexion was calm.
-You guys. Didn’t you say that half-head was one of the two heads of the Helm group?
‘If it’s half, will it fall?’
-That’s right. Didn’t I tell you that he’s one of the two that can deal with blood ghosts?
‘It did.’
-What is the other one and where is it?
Lars’ expression was unusually serious.
‘I don’t know either.’
– You don’t know?
‘I told you that in Eden, there are only two things that can deal with the white-blooded cult leader, but only one thing can be active.’
– If you are not active, are you injured?
‘I don’t even know.’
Raon shook his head.
-What the hell… .
‘A few decades ago, there was a famous family with a reputation for spearmanship called the Lumen family.’
-lumen?
‘okay. It’s not the level of the Six Emperors, but it was a family that was at the level just below it, and it had great momentum. But that family name… It perished in one night.’
The Lumen family’s spearmanship was excellent enough to be evaluated as one of the continents. The huge family that would have become the Chilhwang if he had built up his strength for a few decades disappeared overnight.
‘It was the second chief of Eden who did that. But he only comes from the mouth of Eden, and there are no survivors, no eyewitnesses, so no one knows whether he really exists or is a fictional character.’
Rumors about the second head of Eden spread innumerable because the shock of the destruction of the Lumen family overnight was enormous, but there was no appearance or activity after that.
It was to the point where it was considered non-existent by now.
‘But why are you asking… Do you really think that guy is also the Demon Lord?’
-That’s right.
Lars nodded. He felt that Tacheon had the power of the Lord of Pride, and seemed to think that the other side had something to do with the Demon King of Pride.
-What’s his name?
‘Heavenly horse.’
I don’t know what helmet he wore, whether he was male or female, or whether he actually existed, but the demons of Eden called him the Heavenly Horse.
-The fallen sky and the demonic sky… .
Lars frowned as if he felt something.
-Is that… .
As he tried to speak to me again, the door to the hospital room opened.
“uh? Raon?”
Runaan, who had brought a towel and a bandage, widened his eyes. As soon as her startled voice rang out, a scream-like sound followed.
“Huh!”
“Unstoppable Lord!”
“Laon!”
“Are you awake?”
Gwangpungdan swarmed to the left and right of Runan, filling the front door.
“Raon!”
“You bastard!”
“You’re finally awake!”
“Wow!”
“Unstoppable Lord!”
Starting with Runan, Burren, and Dorian, the Gwangpungdan rushed into the room.
“Oops!”
Raon tried to block it with his hands, but Gwangpungdan ran like a dog after seeing its owner and attacked the bed.
“I just woke up… .”
“It doesn’t seem like a big problem.”
“Ugh! I’m so glad!
Runaan held his hand and pouted, Burren let out a sigh of relief, and Dorian had tears in his eyes.
“You woke up too late!”
“How are your wounds?”
“Laon!”
“Incessant attention!”
Gwangpungdan all gathered on the bed and suppressed themselves. It was to the point where it was difficult to breathe apart from the pain.
“It looks good.”
“Ugh… .”
Rimer, who appeared before he knew it, grinned, saying that he was young, not knowing that he was out of breath. That person is no help either.
“These children. I am a patient… .”
Raon barely snapped his finger with his eyes wide open.
“Everyone, get back!”
Burren, who finally came to his senses, pushed everyone back. Dorian and Runan didn’t fall apart until the end.
“Whoa… .”
He let out a rough breath and wiped away the cold sweat.
‘I almost died.’
If he was a little late, he would have survived Eden and the Church of the White Blood and would have been suffocated by his colleagues, leaving his name in the history of the continent.
‘but… .’
I didn’t feel bad. Because he knew that they all genuinely cared about him.
Going through this incident, it felt like not only Sieghart, but also the Gwangpungdan came more deeply into his heart.
“hmm?”
Raon smiled lightly and looked at the Gwangpungdan swordsmen one by one, then tilted his head.
“Where is Martha? Are you injured?”
“It is not.”
Rimmer, who was standing in front of the door, shook his head.
“It wasn’t an injury, but it felt like something shocked me.”
“A shock?”
“I don’t know what happened because he didn’t talk, but he hasn’t come out of his room for two days.”
Burren shook his head, saying that it was not like Martha.
‘Come to think of it… .’
I remembered that Martha had dropped her sword after seeing the white blooded priest and Tacheon. No matter how strong her enemies are, it’s strange considering her usual personality.
-Certainly, after seeing them, the beef girl became quiet.
Lars also shook his head, saying it was rare.
‘Tachun and the White Blood Religion.’
Raon narrowed his eyes as he recalled the two of them.
‘I should go there.’
* * *
Raon got up after Gwangpungdan calmed down and went back. It still hurts here and there, but it wasn’t to the point where I couldn’t stand it.
I tried to go to Martha for rehabilitation, but Runan didn’t fall from my side. The shock of being kidnapped was so great that he seemed to be escorting him.
“Are you okay here?”
“just in case.”
Runan shook his head and looked here and there with blind eyes.
‘Still, it’s good that his eyes are back.’
Runan’s eyes, which had been eerie red because they weren’t sharp, returned to a fierce purple light. Seeing her slightly relaxed eyes, she felt a little relieved.
“Then guide me to Marta’s room.”
“huh.”
Runan nodded and headed for Martha’s room at the far end of the inn.
-What’s wrong with you? Normally, I think I would have just left it for training.
Lars approached me floating in the air.
-What kind of scheme are you plotting again?
‘It’s a ruse… .’
Raon let out a laugh. Now he seemed to Lars to think he had a plan no matter what he did.
‘I just want to see what condition it is in.’
-Are you the one who doesn’t even care if there’s nothing to gain?
‘It was, but it won’t be in the future.’
If it had been before the kidnapping, I would have thought it wouldn’t be a big deal, as Lars said.
However, others came to rescue her, and Martha was among them, so she wanted to see how she was and help if there was anything she could do.
“Here.”
Runaan pointed to the tightly closed door in the hallway. Untouched food lay on a tray under the door. It seems that I have been there for two days without eating.
smart.
Raon knocked lightly. There were people in the room, but there was no response.
“Martha.”
When I called my name directly, I felt a small presence in the room. Of course, the door didn’t open.
“Go in. If you don’t like it, tell me.”
Raon brought a tray of food and came to the front door.
“No… .”
“Because you didn’t answer. go in.”
Before I could say no, I opened the door and went inside.
Even the curtains were drawn, so the inside was like a darkroom. Martha was nowhere to be seen, neither on the bed nor in the chair.
“Why did you come in?”
A dry voice came from the corner of the room. Marta was sitting in a corner, covered in a blanket.
-That’s beef girl?
‘hmm… .’
Raon narrowed his eyes as he looked at Martha’s drooping shoulders. It seemed to be more serious than she thought.
“Because you didn’t answer.”
“You bastard really… .”
“I’ll turn on the lights.”
I could see Martha even without turning on the magic lamp, but I turned it on because I thought it would be better if it was brighter.
“Ugh!”
Perhaps it was because she hadn’t seen the light in a while, Martha let out a short moan.
Raon put down the tray of food on the table and sat down in a chair.
– It’s not bad food. will you eat
‘A guy like you is really… .’
I left Lars who was talking crazy and looked at Martha.
“What happened?”
“… Nothing happened. because i want to be alone get out.”
Martha waved her hand helplessly.
“after… ..”
Raon let out a short sigh as he saw the thin hand gesture that he did not think was Martha.
“I mean. I thought you were alone.”
“what?”
“Even when I was kidnapped by Eden, I never thought that someone would come to rescue me. He made up his mind to survive alone.”
It really was. In order not to miss the moment when the opportunity came, he took the elixir, competed with the Golden Mask, and absorbed the soul of the helmet. I never imagined that the family would come to the rescue.
“But seeing everyone come together has changed my mindset.”
Raon lightly tapped the table with his finger. A pleasant echo rang through the quiet room.
“Thanks to you, Runan and everyone else coming together, I feel like I have a real sense of belonging.”
He looked at Marta and Runan standing behind him in turn and nodded.
Until now, dealing with them had been a bit of loyalty and a feeling of repaying a debt of mind, but now it feels like that transactional relationship itself has disappeared from my head.
“There are many things in the world that cannot be solved alone. No, there are fewer things you can do alone. Because we are not the head of the household.”
Raon smiled lightly and got up from his chair.
“I know that I am not alone this time, so I am not qualified to give you advice, but if you have any concerns, tell me. Whatever happens, I will take care of it as if it were mine.”
I gave Marta time to think and as I was about to leave I heard the sound of a blanket falling to the floor.
“Mom… .”
A watery voice filled the room. Looking back at her, the old polka dot necklace that Martha was clutching was a dull glow.
“My mother was there.”
