Chapter 302

Glenn’s sword field wasn’t a vacuum area like Rimmer’s, nor a dark room like the Gambling Monster’s.

He was just standing in the same spot. Nothing had changed except for one thing. Heavenly Tremor had turned into a sword of light, engulfed in lightning energy.

Raon narrowed his eyes while watching Glenn’s back.

‘What’s happening? I can’t feel anything special from him.’

Even though he had used the Sword Field Creation, Raon couldn’t notice any change at all.

‘Is it because my realm is too low?’

He slowly raised his head to look at the White Blood Religion's leader and the Fallen.

Even though the entire world was trembling from their presence, their eyes widened as they stared at Glenn below them.

‘This confirms that something must’ve changed in him.’

Yes, he’s changed. So damn much... ViiSiit novelbi/n(.)c/(o)m for latest novels

Wrath’s chin was trembling slightly.

He was an even bigger monster than the King of Essence’s expectation.

He couldn’t take his eyes off Glenn’s back as he voiced his surprise.

‘I knew it.’

There was no way Glenn would’ve made a mistake. He must’ve achieved some kind of change with his sword field.

Whir!

Raon controlled the Ring of Fire. Resonating the rings already made him feel like he was about to faint because of his miserable condition, but he bit his tongue to endure it.

As the rings rotated, he started to see the flow of mana.

‘A sword...?’

A single sword could be seen through Glenn. He had turned into a sword himself.

‘What is that sword...?’

It was completely different from the way proficient swordsmen could become one with their swords. Glenn had turned into a sword himself.

He was fast, light, powerful, flexible, variable, profound, slow, heavy, straight, sharp, and firm at the same time.

All of the swordsmanship principles that he’d learned before were dwelling in Glenn, and principles that he’d never seen before could also be found in him.

‘Is this the head of house’s sword field?’

Seamless Perfection signified that perfect clothes didn’t even have visible seams. Just like the name implied, Glenn had turned into a perfect sword.

Tshing!

The Fallen raised his hand, and the sun sparkled from his back and spread around its majestic light. Countless flashes reached Glenn’s heart in an instant.

The flashes were extremely fast and were powerful enough to pierce through anything. Just as they were about to pierce into him, Glenn’s sword of light slashed.

Whoosh!

The arrow of light disappeared from the simple swing of his sword. His sword didn’t cut it—didn’t even collide against it. It simply dissipated.

“Argh!”

The White Blood Religion's leader twisted her lips and gathered her hands. Along with a chant performed at an extreme speed, weapons of bloody energy burst from the Blood God’s palm.

Rumble!

Sword, saber, spear, scimitar, bow, ax, hammer, javelin, whip, shield, flail, and more. All kinds of weapons came into her grasp while spreading an extremely powerful bloody energy.

The White Blood Religion's leader unleashed a second chant, and the Blood God’s three eyes sparkled in different colors and threw the weapons from her hands.

Rumble!

The forty-four arms were moving at the same time, and each of them showed the ultimate way of handling each weapon.

The Blood God’s attack was powerful enough to crumble the entire land, but Glenn responded with a simple rising slash.

Whoosh!

The Blood God’s destructive attack completely disappeared upon facing the lightning blade rising from the floor. It was just a simple swing, yet both the bloody energy and the physical momentum had completely disappeared.

Raon bit his lip tightly while watching Glenn’s sword.

‘This is the ultimate swordsman...’

The White Blood Religion's leader and the Fallen’s attacks were both powerful enough to single-handedly slay everyone in the area.

However, Glenn’s simple swing was enough to dissipate the power that could destroy the entire area. The way the opponent’s attack completely disappeared from his sword gave the impression that his swordsmanship was capable of erasing the phenomenon itself. It was truly prowess befitting a sword god.

It felt like nothing was impossible for him in his current state.

“Is that all?”

Glenn tilted his chin and smiled coldly.

“I’m sure I told you this already. You should attack with everything you have.”

“Argh!”

“Hmm...”

The wrinkles on the Fallen and the White Blood Religion's leader’s faces deepened like crumpled paper upon hearing his sneer.

“This geezer must’ve been practicing running his mouth!”

The White Blood Religion's leader ground her teeth and quickly chanted a different type of sorcery. As she revealed her true power, an old droplet necklace came of from her red dress.

Rumble!

The Blood God removed the weapon in her hand and gathered her hands just like the White Blood Religion's leader. Once she put the forty-four hands together, the entire world was covered in bloody light.

“He should’ve been here instead of me today. We are going to suffer a great loss.”

The Fallen briefly clicked his tongue and stretched his arms. While the sun’s halo spread its bright light, the moon’s halo covered the world in darkness.

Tssh!

The light and darkness mingled with each other into a whirlwind. The endless mixture of white and black created a purple-colored chaos.

There was no sound or wave. The Fallen’s chaos had already engulfed the world.

“Ah.”

Raon’s eyes widened.

‘This is the same as my previous life...’

The fragrance of death he was feeling was the exact same as the one he felt right before Derus Robert cut his head off. One second—no, not even a quarter of a second was enough to make everyone in the area lose their lives.

Zap!

When the inevitable death was about to fall upon them, Glenn’s lightning sword sparked.

“Storm of Life.”

Glenn’s strike spread out diagonally alongside his calm voice. The sword of his soul stretched out like a flying eagle’s wings to completely erase the Fallen’s chaos.

“Disappear!”

The White Blood Religion's leader lowered her gathered hands, and the tremendous amount of bloody energy that the Blood God had been gathering fell to the ground and amplified even further.

Rumble!

The bloody energy kept expanding over and over and engulfed the entire sky and the land. She must’ve been trying to destroy the entire area.

“Land Slash.”

Glenn’s lightning sword dashed through the horizon, and the bloody pillar that was trying to devour the entire land was severed into half.

The Evil Goat Demon sat on the ground and threw a playful glance at the dragon helmet.

“......”

The dragon helmet didn’t respond, instead staring at the area Glenn’s sword had severed.

“You must mean that you aren’t going to lose at least.”

The Evil Goat Demon chuckled and nodded his head.

“There are so many monsters in the world, after all.”

He sighed deeply with his arms crossed.

“Those people should also be alive. Your junior is having such a hard time because he has a long way to go.”

“You will get caught up from below if you keep looking up.”

“What?”

“I’m talking about the Zieghart’s boy, the one who was the trigger of this incident.”

The man wearing the dragon helmet turned around. His slit-like reptilian pupils were radiating arrogance as he looked down upon the entire world.

“He will get even stronger in the future. No, I should say that he has no other choice but to get stronger.”

* * *

Raon opened his eyes with a frown on his face. He could see a white ceiling above him.

‘Is this the hospital?’

Because he had seen an unfamiliar ceiling too many times, he was starting to be able to tell which ceiling was which.

‘Hmm...’

His entire body was hurting. Skin, muscles, and even his bones were screaming with pain. It was difficult to find a place that didn’t hurt.

‘Damn it.’

An intense pain occurred even though he was just trying to move his finger. He could bear with it because he was used to the pain, but an ordinary person would’ve fainted once again.

Hmph.

Wrath popped up from the ice flower bracelet and wrinkled his nose. Considering the fact that he had turned into a slightly bigger cotton candy, he must’ve recovered his strength a little.

You’ve used the King of Essence’s power that you don’t deserve. Even though it ended in failure, it’s only natural that you are paying the price since you used an energy that surpasses your limits.

‘I expected no less.’

Raon nodded. He thought his body was going to explode when he was controlling Wrath’s wrath and coldness. His energy was still too powerful for his current self.

You are too pathetic. When are you planning to get stronger?

Wrath clicked his tongue with his arms crossed.

‘I’ll get stronger eventually, I guess.’

Raon chuckled. The simple act of smiling was hurting him, but he still felt happy.

Are you really smiling right now?

‘I am. There’s no way I wouldn’t smile.’

He could clearly remember if he closed his eyes. Glenn was descending from the sky by shattering the barrier, and Zieghart’s swordsmen majestically appeared by opening a dimensional gate.

‘The house came to save me. There’s no way I wouldn’t be smiling after that. I won’t be able to forget about that for the rest of my life.’

He was so thankful to the people who came running for his rescue that he felt like he could smile even if he died right there.

That’s the usual affection that humans show to each other. And it’s especially true since you are related by blood.

‘I didn’t really know it existed. After all, I used to be a sacrificial pawn in my previous life.’

Even though he was called the leader of the shadows and all that, he was just a hunting dog that was slightly bigger and better than the other dogs.

Because of those memories of his previous life, he wanted to achieve what he wanted and obtain what he needed before leaving the house.

However, the previous day’s incident changed his mind.

Zieghart was his house, and Zieghart’s swordsmen were his companions.

Once he realized that fact, his vision widened and the world became brighter.

You are such a strange guy.

‘And you too.’

Raon looked at Wrath with a faint smile on his face.

Hmm? What’s up with the King of Essence?

Wrath tilted his head, asking what he was talking about.

‘You gave me your power to save me and Dorian.’

Wrath normally would’ve given him the power and wrath at the same time, but he only gave him the power during the incident without asking for anything in return.

‘I’m seeing you in a different light.’

Wrath was truly caring for his subordinates. Raon had been considering him as a demon king of gluttony, an idiot, and a giving doormat, but that incident made him see him in a different light.

Hmph! Th-the King of Essence isn’t happy at all even if a mere human compliments him!

Wrath briskly turned his head away. The edges of his lips were slightly trembling.

‘Thank you, Wrath.’

The King of Essence was just trying to save his subordinate. He doesn’t care about you at all!

‘I’ll buy you everything you want as soon as I recover.’

...R-really?

.

Raon thanked him from the bottom of his heart, and Wrath rolled his eyes.

‘Yes.’

Ahem! Actually, the King of Essence didn’t dislike you so much during the last incident.

Wrath cleared his throat and gave him a big nod. He looked extremely satisfied.

You are a pretty decent human being, which makes it rather fun to watch...

While he was rambling in excitement, messages appeared in front of his eyes.

[... a transcended sword.]

[All stats...]

[...traces of the sword....]

[...sword’s properties.]

[Title...]

There were so many messages, probably because he maintained his focus while watching Glenn’s swordsmanship in that extreme situation.

‘Wow...’

He couldn’t even feel the pain anymore because he was so excited to read all of the messages.

...It’s not fun to watch at all!

Wrath had been quietly speaking, but he suddenly shouted. He was grinding his teeth while looking at the messages.

The King of Essence was the one who used his power, so why are you getting all the rewards?!

‘Hmm...’

You damned thief!

It can’t be helped.

Raon had the feeling that the Giving Doormat title had to remain.
