Chapter 407

Chapter 407

Glenn Zieghart pulled back his extended right hand. He could see Rimmer supporting Raons body from where his hand used to be located.

They managed to wrap it up somehow.

Sheryl came up next to Glenn.

I honestly didnt think that Raon would resolve the issue, though.Nêww chapters will be fully updated at novelhall.com

She sheathed the twin swords that she was holding and gasped, saying that Raon was becoming a real monster.

Same goes for me. Ive never seen a warrior grow as fast as him.

Roenn was watching Raon with trembling eyes.

The hill blocking the path is bound to become higher and higher as the realm is increased, but the young master Raon never stops his advance. It almost looks like hes walking on flat land.

He proudly smiled at him, saying that hed never seen such a talent that made him jealous.

Ahem, I also didnt expect Raon to resolve this matter.

Glenn nodded while preventing the corners of his lips from soaring up.

Because the scale was too large for them to solve.

Raon was mentally exhausted even though he still had some aura and stamina, Rimmer was utterly worn out from using the Sword Field Creation, and House Ariannes successor wasnt really helpful to begin with.

Glenn was going to help them since he judged that they wouldnt be able to remove the death sphere even if they worked together, but the situation had suddenly changed.

He got stronger in an instant

Falling into a trance because the focus reached the extreme while facing a crisis of death was rare, but it was possible.

However, Raon managed to get stronger, both physically and mentally, in a short period of timeit didnt even last for ten seconds.

Unbelievable.

Trances did increase a warriors realm drastically, but it still needed some time to take effect.

Ten seconds was simply too short, even for a trance.

But I cant say otherwise since Ive witnessed it with my very eyes.

He wouldve brushed it off as a lie if someone else had told him about it, but hed witnessed it himself. His grandson was the one who created that miracle. It only made him more excited.

Im looking forward to seeing how far that monster is going to reach.

The young master Raon might really reach the Grandmaster realm at the age of twenty-two and duel against the Axe King.

Sheryl and Roenn smiled gently while watching Raon being carried on Rimmers back.

We might not even need to take any action if that happens.

We should sharpen our blades just in case.

Weve been constantly gathering information about the South-North Unions location and members anyway. We have most of the information except for the elders that never show up.

The smile that Glenn had been suppressing ended up appearing on his face as he watched Sheryl say that she had all the information about the South-North Union, and Roenn say that he would sharpen his blade.

Hmm!

The fact that the two people who didnt usually compliment others were admiring Raons talent and cherished him from the bottom of their hearts made the corners of his lips reach all the way to his cheekbones.

Roenn.

Yes, my lord.

Roenn bowed while taking a step forward.

Did you manage to draw the picture?

Of course.

He raised the booklet he was hugging.

Ive sketched the scene of the young master Raons fight during this mission in the third volume of Raons gospel. I also wrote down the famous lines, so please read it later.

It could be better than a sketch, dont you think?

Sheryl licked her lips in regret.

Of course. Im planning to color it as soon as I return.

Nice!

Glenn gave him a big nod as soon as he said that he would color it.

Ill help you!

Hmm, the Heavenly Blade division leader should be tired. Ill do it on my own

Dont be so reserved, I just want to contribute to Raons gospel.

Huhuhu.

While Roenn was contemplating how to refuse her, Glenn raised his hand.

The Heavenly Blade division leader should stay out of it.

What?

You are bad at painting.

But I can color at least

Coloring is the most important part of painting.

Glenn shook his head firmly. He seemed to be telling her that he would never allow her to ruin the painting of Raon.

Ugh

Sheryl groaned since she couldnt deny it and hung her head.

We will return now.

Glenn patted Sheryls depressed shoulders and turned around.

Arent you going to go down there to see them?

Theres no reason to ruin the atmosphere.

Glenn closed his eyes upon hearing Sheryls question.

Todays victory belongs to them. We should be satisfied with sending a round of applause from here.

Does that mean that Sir Rimmer is not going to be punished anymore?

Roenn carefully brought up Rimmers name.

Hmm

Glenn scratched his chin while watching Rimmer carrying Raon on his back.

Lets overlook it since he acted like a proper teacher this time.

Then Ill remove Sir Rimmers beating from the schedule.

Sure Oh, wait. Why did he arrive late again?

Rimmer was waiting behind the pillar until he had the right moment to save Raon, but he shouldve arrived at House Arianne a long time ago.

Glenn suddenly got curious about why he was so late.

Hmm, about that

He was being a drunkard again.

Roenn hesitated to answer, and Sheryls lips parted in his stead.

He went to a pub to drink all night long because he had a hard time in his secluded training. He woke up in the evening and visited all of the gambling houses before he departed. He was bound to be late after that.

Sheryl revealed everything Rimmer had done with a cold smile on her face.

Even after he arrived here, he was slacking on a vine because he didnt want to fight the undead or step on the land brimming with the energy of death. Thats what he was doing before he appeared at the last moment while acting cool and shit.

She even mentioned the fact that Glenn already knew to make him even angrier.

Swaaa.

Glenns gaze had become warm as he watched Raon, but it quickly turned into a cold fury.

Roenn.

Yes.

Call that drunkard to the training ground as soon as he returns.

Ah, understood.

Roenn sighed quietly while watching Rimmers happy face because the war was over.

He said the training ground

The fact that the head of house called him to the training ground implied that he was going to thoroughly beat him up.

Huhuhu.

He gathered his hand in a prayer and lowered his head towards Rimmer.

Rest in peace.

Three days was relatively short considering how hard hed fought. He could understand why he was still feeling the pain.

I see, did anything special Hmm?

He was about to stand up, but he felt something at the side. He turned his head and saw that Runaan was sleeping on the bed on her face.

Why is she here?

Shes been sleeping here ever since we returned, even when she wasnt in charge. I tried to pull her away, but I couldnt remove her.

He murmured it was a mystery she could sleep like that since her back shouldve been hurting.

I see.

Raon smiled faintly and tapped on Runaans head.

I should buy her some ice cream after we return.

Keep your promise to the King of Essence before thinking about ice cream! Lets start with blueberry pie

Wrath suddenly remembered about his promise and started ordering the food hed been wanting to eat.

And we did have something special happen.

What?

Wrath danced while listing the food, and Raon watched him before he briskly turned his head.

What do you mean?

Battles against the undead were the only thing that could be called special at House Arianne. Raons heart pounded from anxiety.

Ah, its not something you should be worried about, vice squad leader.

Dorian mustve realized his thought process and shook his head while saying that it wasnt a bad thing.

Which means?

You know that the executives of the house ran away while we were fighting.

They did.

Raon clenched his fist so hard that his hand turned white.

They deserve death.

Even though their house was in a huge crisis, Weegen Arianne and the executives took the residents hostage to run away instead of volunteering to fight.

Raon was determined to find them no matter what, in order to revive the ruined House Arianne.

They got caught.

What?

Guests visited us yesterday, and they said they happened to bring them here.

Dorian said that they were very special and amazing guests. However, Raon wasnt listening anymore.

I have no time to check my stats. I have to take care of those bastards first.

Since the executives were family to Wendy, she couldnt be too cruel towards them. Raon had to personally take care of them.

He picked up Heavenly Drive from next to the bed. He stood up while enduring the pain all over his body.

V-vice squad leader?

Lets go.

Crimson flames were burning in Raons eyes.

Guide me to those scumbags.

* * *

Wendy.

Weegen Arianne, who used to be the head of House Arianne, was kneeling on the ground and staring at Wendy Arianne.

Do you really believe you can run this house?

He confidently raised his head even though he was the first one to run away during the crisis.

I and the executives are the reason the house became so wealthy. Weve been focused on money that is more powerful than might, and everyone could live a stable life while you could swing your sword to your hearts content thanks to us. However

Weegen rolled his eyes, which were glowing with desire.

You are different. You and the new executives have only been swinging your swords instead of learning how to manage the house. Im sure you are clueless about how to run the house.

Wendy was unable to respond and bit her lip.

Weegen licked his lips while looking at Wendys expression.

Its working.

He was worried he was going to die because he got dragged back to the house by that monster, but the speech hed prepared was fortunately working.

It was truly fortunate that Raon was still unconscious.

We acknowledge our mistake, and we will resign from the position of the head and executives. In return, allow us to support you from behind. Wed like to be the wings to bring the house into a new light.

Weegen started by pressuring her before gently persuading her to lead the conversation in a way that Wendy had to consider his offer.

Do you have anything to say about abandoning the house and running away?

Wendy asked the question shed been holding back with a hoarse voice.

I had no other choice. In return, Ill offer everything I have for the sake of the house from now on.

Amber Blade division leader, please accept this old man. Id like to give my life for the house since Ive missed the opportunity to save the house.

Ill contribute to Ariannes development as much as possible if you forgive me.

Ill accept any punishment. However, that should come after we revive this ruined house

The executives bowed, following the atmosphere that Weegen had created.

None of them were talking about why they ran away, nor what punishment they deserved.

Wendy, please forgive this unworthy father.

Wendys face was as cold as ice, but Weegen approached her, pretending he didnt see that.

Ill help you and the house in the future to the best of my abiliti

Whaam!

As Weegen was calling Wendys name while trying to catch her trembling hand, the door burst open.

Whoosh.

In the midst of the yellow cloud of dust, Raon entered in his hospital gown with his body covered in bandages.

Huh?

S-Sir Raon?!

Are you okay?

Wendy and the new executives were surprised and ran toward Raon.

Im fine.

He nodded heavily and walked up to the financial officer, who was kneeling on the edge.

You are the financial officer.

Raon raised his chin while standing in front of the financial officer.

Do you have any excuse for abandoning the house and running away?

His extremely hoarse voice implied that he was still severely injured.

I-I had no other choice!

Why did you not have any other choice? Did someone drag you out or something?

Err, a-about that

Because Raon got straight to the point, the financial officer couldnt respond and stayed there with trembling lips.

I-Ill devote my life to the house if you give me another chance. Please trust m

Your chance is already over.

Raon was holding Heavenly Drive with his right hand as soon as he finished speaking, and a red line appeared on the financial officers neck.

Huh? Huuh?

The financial officer grasped his neck. The line became thicker and blood gushed from it.

Kuuh

He couldnt even scream and collapsed with his neck split apart.

Raon shook off the blood from Heavenly Drive, his deadly eyes sparking blue.

Next.
