Chapter 410

Raons eyes widened like full moons as he read the new messages.

Sloth has been enhanced?

The trait Sloth had an outrageous effect of increasing his stats during his sleep and even increased the regeneration speed of his stamina and aura.

He couldnt believe that overpowered ability could be enhanced even further.

Ugh!

The same went for Wrath. He was tightly biting his lip because he didnt expect Sloth to be enhanced.

Sloth! The King of Essence shouldve killed that sleepyhead a long time ago! It was his mistake to let him live

Go play somewhere else.

Raon slapped Wrath away as he started to rampage on the table and checked the new messages.

[30 points of emotion of Sloth have been created.]

[The trait Sloths ability to increase stats and regeneration speed of aura and stamina has been enhanced.]

Raon unconsciously slammed the table with his palm.

Mmmh

Runaan slowly woke up because of the sudden noise. She nodded at Raon before getting back on the bed to sleep.

What the hell is wrong with her?

Runaans mentality was the most questionable among the Light Wind squador even the entirety of Zieghart.

Raon shook his head and was about to check the messages again when energy emerged from Sloths black flower bracelet, entering his body.

This is

Raon could feel the energy of sloth seeping into him. It was the same energy that surrounded Sloth back at Habun Castle.

He could block it, but he left it alone because he couldnt feel any malice, unlike the wrath from Wrath.

So this is the emotion of sloth.

He felt drowsy. It felt similar to lying on a bed under the bright sunlight of a weekend afternoon to nap.

Not bad.

It was bringing peace to his mind, unlike wrath. He could easily suppress it with his soul level without even activating the Ring of Fire.

Moreover Its not like Sloth will ever try to take over my body.

Since Sloth wasnt in his soul, unlike Wrath, he didnt need to worry about losing his body from gaining too many sloth points.

It was something he could take advantage of without any drawbacks.

This should accelerate the growth at least twice.

He tried to calculate the sloths effect, and the stat increase was twice as much as before while the aura and stamina regeneration were three times faster than before.

He could estimate that he could recover his aura to full in a few days just from sleepingwithout even cultivating.

Damn it

Wraths face became even more flushed as he confirmed the increased effect of Sloth. He looked like strawberry cotton candy.

As soon as the King of Essence regains his body, hes going to kill that doormat, Sloth!

Visitt novelbin(.)co/m for the latest updates

Wrath furiously trembled, and Raon briefly clicked his tongue while looking at him.

But you are the king of doormats.

He could only laugh because Wrath was insulting someone else for being a doormat when he was the biggest doormat in the world.

I also need to visit him at some point.

Wh-why would you visit the sleepyhead?!

Wraths lips trembled in anxiety.

I need to ask him how to use the emotion of sloth Ive obtained.

Raon licked his lips while looking at the black flower bracelet.

Sleeping shouldnt be the only ability I have.

Since he was a demon king at the same rank as Wrath, there mustve been another ability besides sleeping.

It was necessary to visit Sloth to ask about it to make proper use of it.

Y-you dont need to go.

Wrath shook his head while looking at the black flower bracelet.

The sleepyheads ability is nothing special!

He trembled slightly while shaking his head and said that Raon wouldnt be satisfied even if he visited him.

Its okay. I need to drop by for Yuas sake anyway.

He was planning to visit Habun Castle anyway to allow Yua to see her grandfather. That was why he could just visit Sloth on the way.

Kuh! You are the worst doormat, Sloth!

Wrath realized he wouldnt be able to stop him and started to insult Sloth once again.

Unforgivable!

Whatever.

Raon chuckled and swept back the hair flowing over his forehead.

Rather than that

Once he finished checking all the new abilities, he remembered the guest that Wendy had mentioned.

The Sword Demon Rector Im somewhat related to him.

Since the first nickname hed gained after the war in Habun Castle was the Young Sword Demon, it wasnt an overstatement to say that he was related to him.

I wonder what kind of person he is?

Hed heard rumors that the Sword Demon could match up to the Ten Heavens of the Continent as the strongest of the Five Great Swordmasters, but he had no idea how good he was since hed never seen him before.

He wanted to experience the skills of the Sword Demon.

The King of Essence doesnt care whether hes a Sword Demon or an Evil Demon. Just keep your promise right now.

Wrath frowned while tapping the table with his plump hand.

Promise? What promise?

Did you already forget about it? You promised to eat everything the King of Essene wanted!

Ah, that promise.

Raon slowly nodded and took out a Nadine bread from his subspace pocket.

Ill eat this Nadine bread

Wh-what do you think you are doing?!

Wrath started having a seizure as soon as he saw the Nadine bread.

Get that horrible thing away right away!

He screamed as if it was some kind of deadly weapon.

I dont want to, though?

You dirty bastard! Are you going to break your promise?!

You are gravely mistaken about that.

Bullshit! The King of Essence remembers what you said without missing a letter!

Tell me about it.

Fine!

Wrath nodded and recited the trade theyd had before fighting the archlich.

You said Ill eat all of the delicious foods until we return to the house, instead of just after the war, and even added that you would eat the new product that Ice Cream Girl mentioned!

Dont you find it strange, though?

Hmph! The King of Essence wont be deceived! What kind of trick are you trying to play?

He glared fiercely at Raon like a savage beast.

Theres nothing strange about a simple sentence like Ill eat all the delicious foods Huh?

Wrath started thinking about the line but suddenly stopped. He mustve finally realized the problem in that trade.

Is he that good?

He was even acknowledged by Wrath, who looked down on everyone in the world. The rumors about his sword reaching the Ten Heavens of the Continent mustve been true.

Hmm.

The Sword Demon noticed him and approached him with his gaze fixated on him.

He looks rather mysterious.

His appearance resembled a hermit living in tranquility, but his gaze was as frightening as a blade. He looked like a combination of a hermit and a fiend.

Greetings, Sword Demon Rector.

Raon went towards the Sword Demon and bowed to him.

I heard that you captured the deserters who abandoned the house. Im grateful for your help.

It wasnt a big deal.

The Sword Demon shook his hand. His voice was as cold as the wind on the northern ocean. That voice was the only thing that matched his expectations.

I was heading to this location after feeling the powerful energy of death and encountered some fellows acting like bandits. Thats why I asked them to guide us here.

He said that he was originally planning to kill them, but spared their lives and brought them with him because theyd said they were the executives of House Arianne.

Are you Raon Zieghart, the one called the Young Sword Demon?

Yes, I am.

The Sword Demon mentioned the nickname Raon had gotten in Habun Castle instead of the White Sword Dragon. He mustve known about him for a while.

Ive always been curious what kind of swordsman earned my nickname. Im returning from checking out the traces youve left, and

He was taking another step toward Raon while talking about the traces, but he suddenly stopped.

Hmm?

The Sword Demons widened eyes violently trembled as he stared at Raons face. He looked like hed just witnessed something unbelievable.

Sir Rector?

Raon narrowed his eyes while looking at the Sword Demons face as he frowned before returning to normal again.

Whats happening?

He thought Rector would ask him about his swordsmanship since he was called the Sword Demon, but he kept staring at his face without saying anything.

Sword Demon?

Ah, my bad.

The Sword Demon shook his head slightly before taking a step back.

Hmm, see you again later.

His lips twitched as if he wanted to say something but he simply shook his head and left.

M-master!

The young man wearing white clothes mustve been the Sword Demons disciple since he followed him while calling him his master.

Raon tilted his head while looking at the Sword Demon who suddenly lost his spirit.

Whats wrong with him?

He mustve gotten hungry.

That evening.

With Raons awakening, House Arianne held the festival theyd been postponing because he was the most important participant.

The entire castle sparkled brightly, and the tired people were smiling even more brightly.

Raon was standing at the western castle wall and smiled faintly while watching them laugh and cheer.

This is what a house should look like.

There was one thing hed realized during his life in Zieghart.

A house shares happiness and sadness.

If a member of the house was in a crisis, they had to be rescued no matter where they were, and if they were killed, their death had to be avenged no matter who they were.

House Arianne couldnt be such a house so far, but it should be able to become a huge wall to protect the members in the future since Wendy was the new head.

And the same goes for me.

He still had no intention of becoming Ziegharts head of house, but he was determined to protect the Light Wind squad no matter what.

Thats a mindset that a leader should obviously have.

Wrath nodded while listening to the people laughing.

Devildom also has countless houses and castles, but the only ones that survive until the end are the ones where the monarch or the head of house share their life and death with their subordinate demons.

He sneered, saying that even demons did that but humans were incapable of it.

Well, thats not always the case though.

Is it not?

I know one person who is doing perfectly fine even though he only relies on his own power without caring about his subordinates at all.

Like Sloth?

That doormat is just a lazybones. Its not him, its one of the other demon kings Hmm?

Wrath was about to say the name of the demon king, but he started to sniff towards the bottom.

Th-this smell!

What smell?

This is the sweet smell of compressed fruit juice melted down from the heat!

He raised his round hand while glaring at the center of the street where the festival was ongoing.

Over there! They are selling blueberry pie over there!

Hmm

Raon licked his lips and touched the subspace pocket in his clothes.

I was planning to eat Nadine bread for dinner though.

Please! Stop! Anything but that!

Wrath started to beg him to stop eating that rubber.

Im not sure

Raon.

Raon was going to tease him a bit more, but Runaan waved her hand from below.

There is a lot of ice cream!

She raised a bowl containing several different ice creams and stamped her feet.

What are you doing there? Trying to look stylish?

Martha frowned, asking why he was looking so pathetic on his own.

Seriously, you cant fit into the atmosphere.

Burren chuckled while holding his beer glass.

Ive prepared your seat over here!

Dorian set up a huge table and chairs that he took out from his belly pocket before waving at him.

S-see? Thats what he says.

Wrath smiled awkwardly and pointed at them with his chin.

Raon smiled faintly while looking at Wraths pupils splashing like a fish.

He mustve learned his lesson by now.

Since he taught him the lesson by using the Nadine bread as a stick, it was time to give him delicious food as a carrot.

When he was about to go under the castle wall, something suddenly emerged from the swamp where the mud had returned. The creature with hard shells on the back and a long mouth was the swamp crocodile.

CrocodileHuh?

Raons jaw dropped. The crocodiles face was shaped into a grotesque smile as it waved its short arms towards Raon.

Th-the madwoman is hereeeee!
