C941
[You have obtained the new title <Sword Emperor>.]
Raon chuckled softly when he saw the message pressing Wrath's head.
'Is my epithet and title Sword Emperor? Is this destiny?'
-Destiny, my ass!
Wrath exploded furiously, breaking the messages.
-This is clearly a copy of unimaginative systems!
"That's not possible."
Raon shook his head calmly.
'This title must have been created before the epithet Sword Emperor was used.'
-What do you mean...?'
Wrath's eyes widened as if he had just realized something.
—That's right. These reward messages appeared right after Greed left. Before rumors spread that he had defeated the Master of the Black Tower.
These reward messages appeared right after the war ended, but he hadn't checked or accepted them, thinking that Rensia had died. Seeing that the title of Sword Emperor was generated before the epithet was used, he could only think of it as destiny.
-Leaving aside the title...
Wrath gritted his teeth while looking at the messages that filled the space above the title.
-This is too much, no matter how you look at it! This is not a market!
He shook his head, unable to accept it.
"What are you going to do if you can't accept it? The master is giving it to you."
-I am that master, thief!
Wrath waved his round hand, asserting that he was the owner of the powers within the messages.
'Now that I think about it, that's true.'
Raon nodded with a smile.
—But what can we do? It's already come to me. I have no choice but to accept it.
-Urgh...
Pressing Wrath's reddened head, Raon examined the messages again.
[You have achieved a feat that will go down in history.]
[You have defeated the master of the Black Tower.]
[You have received recognition from the Lord of <Greed>.]
[All skill scores increase by 100 points.]
Raon's hand trembled slightly as he looked at the top message.
“A feat that will go down in history.”
The system used to describe his achievements with various words, but this was the first time it stated that it would go down in history. The tips of his fingers trembled with pride. (E/N: Press X to doubt)
-Well, that's natural.
Even though he fought alongside Chamber, he had killed one of the absolute rulers of the continent, the Master of the Black Tower, in his own domain, and immediately after that, he drove away Greed, the Lord of <Greed>, and obtained his Authority. Indeed, the phrase "a feat that will go down in history" seemed insufficient.
-100 points? No matter how historic the feat is, 100 points at once is absurd!
Wrath's jaw trembled.
-They say efficiency decreases as skill scores increase, but 100 points at once will have too much impact!
He shook his head, saying that even he would have to get used to the sensations of his body again if it increased by 100 points.
'Mmm...'
Raon pressed the message with his finger to accept the power contained in it.
-You are right about that.
The moment he confirmed the message and received the reward of 100 points, he felt as if every muscle and bone in his body was tearing apart and being reborn.
However, it was not pain, but the euphoria of becoming stronger. For the first time in a long time, his body was evolving to a higher level.
-Damn it...
Wrath bit his lip as he watched Raon's body tremble.
-The King of Thieves is boiling my spine to make bone soup!
He hit the air and said that he only had a few bones left.
'Since I've sucked the marrow dry, should I ask them to prepare beef bone soup when we get home?'
Raon stroked Wrath's head with his still trembling hand.
-R, really?
Wrath licked his lips and rolled his eyes, as if the beef bone soup attracted him. Even in that situation, his appetite was awakened, truly fulfilling his dedication to food.
'If you want.'
Raon smiled slightly and checked the next message.
[A new trait <Authority Manipulation> has been created.]
Just by looking at the name of the trait, he could guess its approximate ability.
'Unlike <Authority Enhancement>, this ability will allow me to use the Authorities of the demon kings as my own power.'
He still couldn't freely use the Authorities of the demon kings, except for Wrath's <Wrath>. But in this war, thanks to Zircon's power, which brought 'stability', he was able to completely extract the Authorities of other demon kings to defeat the Master of the Black Tower.
Since Zircon had disappeared leaving only a trace, he thought it would be difficult to properly handle the authority of the demon kings again. But with <Authority Manipulation>, it seemed he could make some use of it.
"This will be a great power."
Judging by the traits he had so far, he wouldn't be able to use authorities as great as he did when he fought the Master of the Black Tower from the start. However, if he used the trait frequently and raised its rank, it was clear that he would eventually be able to use the powers of the demon kings as they were.
-Damn fools...
Wrath puffed out his cheeks, apparently filled with irritation.
-I am already cowardly enough! Why are you guys too?
He hit his chest as if he had finally realized he was a coward.
'This demon is too perceptive.'
[The rank of the trait <Bleeding Curse> has increased.]
[The rank of the trait <Iron Will> has increased.]
[The rank of the trait <Spiral Power> has increased.]
[The rank of the trait <Aura of Death Resistance> has increased.]
[The rank of the trait <Divinity Born of Darkness> has increased.]
[The rank of the trait <Snow Flower Piercing Spear> has increased.]
[The rank of the trait <Snow Flower Absorption> has increased.]
[The rank of the trait <Askara's Fighting Spirit> has increased.]
[The rank of the trait <Ghost> has increased.]
[The rank of the trait <Heavenly Assassination> has increased.]
[The rank of the trait <Death Energy Detection> has increased.]
The following messages were about the rank increase of the traits involved in this war.
With 11 traits increasing in rank at once, the messages completely blocked his view.
-Puaj...
Wrath's lips trembled, apparently at a loss for words.
'Now, finally.'
Raon checked the ability of the title <Sword Emperor> that he had seen at first. [A title granted to a swordsman who ascends to the throne of an emperor by overthrowing a king unworthy of the qualification of <Sword Emperor>. Increases the learning rate of all martial arts and greatly enhances the achievement of swordsmanship and sword principles learned.]
"Ha!"
He let out a laugh without realizing it. The title of Sword Emperor was not just a simple title. As befitting the name of the emperor of swords, it had the effect of quickly learning all sword arts and strengthening the power of the swordsmanship learned.
-Argh!
Wrath screamed, ruffling his hair.
-How much more do you have to give to be satisfied! How much of my power was used to make this!
He threw a tantrum and demanded to see the receipt, but his plump body made it seem like he was doing a cute dance.
'This title...'
Raon clenched his fist, ignoring Wrath.
"It seems I shouldn't settle here but aim higher."
The reason he was able to defeat the Master of the Black Tower was that he was a magician, not a martial artist. If his opponent had been the Leader of the White Blood Religion, Derus, or the Leader of the Holy Sword Alliance, he would never have won. The title of Emperor of the Sword was a whip that stimulated him to reach a higher place.
It was clearly a ladder to climb higher, not a ladder to complete.
'...'
Raon slowly closed his eyes and recalled the battles with the Master of the Black Tower and Greed. In those fights that were so arduous and dangerous that he didn't want to think about them, he found ways to improve himself one by one.
-Tsk.
Wrath clicked his tongue and turned his head.
-After boasting about your rewards, are you now meditating?
He was furious to the point of bursting, because they had only shown the rewards and then left him out of that private moment.
"You are a devilish guy."
Although he said it was nothing, Raon had defeated a Transcendent who was far above him and had driven away Greed with a body that could have collapsed at any moment. Even now, he was amazed by that bravery, audacity, and unyielding spirit.
-Did you say you wanted to become stronger?
Wrath lowered his eyebrows and looked at Raon.
-You will undoubtedly become stronger. To the point that even I don't know your limits. However...
He clenched his jaws, making an affirmation and a declaration at the same time.
-Now is not the time to sleep! I'm starving!
Wrath screamed that they should at least eat some peanuts before Gluttony took everything away, but Raon did not open his eyes and sank deeper into the world of mental images.
* * *
*Thud!* Raon dropped a pile of gold coins in front of Gluttony.
"Is this... money?"
Gluttony blinked and asked if all this was money.
"Considering that you spent money here, you must have really run out of money."
Gluttony had said that he came to see him because he had run out of money, but that was a lie. However, he thought that she must have really run out of money now after spilling gold coins while enjoying the festival here.
"Yes..."
When Gluttony moved her hand, a mouth appeared out of nowhere and devoured all the gold coins. It was the subspace possessed by the Demon King of Gluttony.
"How is the food in the human world?"
"It's all delicious..."
Gluttony nodded as if she were satisfied.
-How could it not be delicious after eating so much!
Wrath gritted his teeth, apparently annoyed that Gluttony had taken all the food during the festival.
"Then I'm going to eat ice cream..."
Gluttony stood up, brushing the dust off her backside as if heading to another area to eat ice cream.
"Thank you."
Raon smiled slightly and waved goodbye to Gluttony.
"The next time you come to see me, I'll treat you to the most delicious food in the world."
"Mmm..."
Gluttony opened her red eyes wide, apparently surprised by his words.
-Okay, I'll go. Don't change your scent.
She pressed her nose against his skin as if telling him not to wash, and then went off to another village.
Did she get surprised by the gratitude? Or was she surprised because there was more delicious food?
-For that glutton, it's obvious. It's about the food.
Wrath shook his head and snorted.
-But what is the most delicious food in the world?
'Our home-cooked food.'
- Ah...
Wrath rolled his eyes left and right and then nodded slightly.
-I, I cannot argue with that.
He licked his lips as if he agreed.
-But what if that glutton doesn't leave the annex because the food is delicious?
'Wouldn't that be even better?'
Gluttony was the gentlest demon he had seen. Naturally, she protected the people of the annex who gave her delicious food, so it was actually a good thing.
"Lust."
Raon gestured towards the pink air that glowed faintly. *Puff!* The flow of pink air intensified and the sensual face of Lust appeared from within.
"Thank you for everything. For stopping Greed and protecting me."
"Did you know?"
Lust's cheeks turned pink, apparently pleased that he acknowledged her protection.
"Of course."
Raon nodded with a cold gaze, pretending to be Wrath.
-Puaj...
The true Wrath's jaw trembled as if merely facing Lust was difficult.
"Are you coming with us?"
"Yes, of course!"
Lust mimicked his tone, insisting that she would follow him no matter what.
-Send her to the Devildom! No, send her to any faraway place!
Wrath waved his hand, begging to throw her to another region.
"Then follow me well."
Raon gestured to Lust, ignoring Wrath's words.
"Okay!"
Lust said she would see him later and disappeared again into the flow of pink air.
-You bastard!
Wrath screamed, asking how a human could do that, but in his opinion, there was nothing to worry about. After bidding farewell to the two demon kings, Raon left the accommodation. The others had already prepared to leave and were saying their goodbyes.
"Lord Raon!"
Hoppen, the Holy King of Suphren, approached and took his hand.
"Please take good care of Lady Olga."
He bowed his head as if trusting him.
"Don't worry. And a king shouldn't bow his head so casually."
Raon quickly lifted Hoppen.
—Aren't you also a king, Lord Raon? The Sword Emperor. For me, it is natural to bow.
Hoppen shook his chin and said that even the name of the Holy King became small in front of the Sword Emperor.
—Your Majesty! Stop saying nonsense and let’s go quickly!
Holy Olga pulled Hoppen away with a frown. Seeing her alone, it seemed she had decided to go together to Zieghart.
"You made a good decision."
Raon patted Olga on the shoulder with a slight smile.
"Umm..."
"Lord Raon!"
When Olga stepped back, looking embarrassed, Rensia rushed in.
"Take care! I will surely visit you!"
Rensia bit her lip and said she would come to Zieghart someday.
"You don't need to say that."
Chamber shook his head, holding Rensia's shoulder.
"In any case, we might see each other soon."
"Soon?"
Raon blinked and looked at Chamber.
"Since the Black Tower has disappeared, a meeting may be held to determine the next plan."
Chamber gestured with his hand, saying that a conference of the Five Kings could be held to decide the path to take now that the balance of the Five Kings and the Five Demons had been broken.
"You are right."
Raon nodded his head towards Chamber. After being rejected by the Five Demons for so long and finally achieving a great victory, it was time for the Five Kings to make an effort and move forward.
"Then, see you again."
Chamber lightly waved his hand and returned with the Balkar mages with Rensia.
"Have you finished with the goodbyes?"
When Raon turned at the sound of Glenn's voice, all the swordsmen of Zieghart had already finished lining up and were waiting.
"Yes."
Raon nodded after exchanging visual greetings with the others.
-Then let’s go back.
Glenn turned his back coldly, as if his embrace in front of others had been a lie.
"Understood."
Raon nodded as he followed Glenn's back, which felt as cold as a snow-covered mountain.
"What a shame."
He had hoped the others would see Glenn's new side, but it seemed it was only for that moment. It seemed he had returned to being that arrogant and cold Northern Destructive King. But that was a great misunderstanding on his part. As soon as they returned to Zieghart, Glenn did not order a rest but led everyone to the chief's training ground.
As if they had been prepared in advance, all the swordsmen and residents who were in Zieghart were seated and waiting. Glenn sat on the throne that rose above the platform and nodded to Raon and Karoon, who were standing in the center of the great training ground.
"I haven't heard well either, so tell us what you accomplished in Montiro."
"Ah..."
Raon took a deep breath as he looked at Glenn's expectant smile and the audience applauding.
'I thought he had returned to being the usual cold self, but that wasn't it...'
To boast so much here! How much he had changed!
