Chapter 411

But the festival is just getting started.

Where are you going?

Im going to meet a crocodile.

Raon replied honestly, telling them that he was going to meet a crocodile.

Huuh?

A crocodile?

What kind of bullshit is that?

Burren, Runaan, and Martha widened their eyes, and the other Light Wind swordsmen asked what he was talking about, but Raon simply went down the wall without responding.

He stepped over the swamp as if he were on the ground and reached the crocodile, which shook its hand at Raon before turning around. The crocodile seemed to be telling him to follow it.

It shook its hand

Crocodiles were unexpectedly smart. They are supposed to be the most intelligent species among reptiles, but there was still no way they would be shaking their hands to guide humans. It was clear that it was Merlins doing.

Haa.

Raon sighed and followed Merlins wagging tail to enter into deep bushes.

Grr.

The crocodile finally stopped once they reached a place that couldnt be seen by people and turned around.

Hiee!

Wraths entire body was trembling violently. He seemed to have even forgotten his desire to eat.

The King of Essence cant even imagine what kind of madness shes done this time

I agree. I wonder what shes going to say.

Merlin had previously mentioned that Edens executives didnt know exactly what the others were doing since they were on separate missions.

It was possible that she wasnt aware of the Specters attack on House Arianne, and Raon was unsure of whether he should trust her or not.

Raon.

Merlin raised her gaze and rolled her reptile eyes.

How are your injuries?

My injuries?

Im asking whether youve recovered from the wounds that damn skull inflicted on you.

It wasnt certain whether she knew from the beginning, but she was aware of the Specters attack. She extended her front foot, asking him to tell her if he was still injured.

Im fine now.

Raon shook his hand while saying that he was fine because he was fully recovered.

By the way, did you know?

He was going to ask her about the Specters attack, but she hung her head before then.

Even though she was a crocodile, she was clearly lowering her head.

Im really sorry.

She sighed deeply, saying that she had no excuse for what happened.

What are you sorry about?

Raon went on his knee to meet Merlins gaze.

I didnt manage to warn you about the Specters attack. I learned about it too late.

Tears dropped from her eyes as she said that she couldnt provide any information nor stay by his side at the most important moment.

Crocodile tears People said crocodile tears shouldnt be trusted.

Because Merlin happened to take a crocodiles appearance, the saying about crocodile tears, which signified insincerity, came to his mind.

However, he couldnt suspect her for no good reason because shed helped him a lot.

Did you know about the Specters attack?

No.

Merlins voice trembled as she shook her head.

That skulls mission was to return after filling the jewel he recovered from the Swamp of Death with the energy of death. Attacking House Arianne and trying to kill you was his own decision.

She scratched the swamp with her front foot while saying that it wasnt the Fallens orders but the Specters own decision.

Raon quietly observed Merlins expression, but he couldnt tell at all because she was a crocodile.

You dont believe me.

She licked her lips. The piece of flesh stuck between her upper teeth was slightly frightening.

Not completely. I know you wouldve used another method if you wanted to kill me.

Merlin wasnt an idiot, just like the Specter. If they were both trying to attack Raon, they couldve found a much better method, which implied that she shouldve been telling the truth.

He was just keeping a distance from her because she belonged to Eden and couldnt be completely trusted.

A wise decision! Hanging around with a madwoman like her will only ruin your mentali

When Wrath was about to tell him to just go back to eat already, Merlin raised her right foot.

I thought that would be the case, so I made some preparations this time.

Merlin weakly tapped on the swamp with her front foot.

Along with a sticky splashing sound, the swamp under the moonlight became transparent and a scene appeared.

Hmm?

Raon narrowed his eyes while looking at the swamp below him. Someone was grasping his head inside a dark room and wriggling like an insect that had been turned upside down.

What is this?

The end of the one who dared to attack you.

The corners of Merlins lips twisted upwards. Her smile gave him goosebumps, and it wasnt even because she was a crocodile.

Dont tell me hes

You guessed right. Hes that rude skull.

She nodded, confirming that he was watching the Specter.

Huh

Raon carefully examined the squirming person. His robes were ragged, and he was wearing a skeleton mask with a hole at the center of the forehead. He was definitely the Specter that hed fought a few days ago, just like Merlin had said.

What happened to him?

I locked him inside an artifact called the Fish Tank of Imprisonment.

She responded casually, as if she were saying that she had caught a mouse with a mouse trap.

Y-you locked him up?

Yes.

Merlins eyes turned crimson as she nodded.

He dared to injure you when hes nothing but trash.

She murmured that it was already too late for her to help when she realized what was happening, so she just locked the Specter up so he wouldnt ever show up in the world ever again.

Isnt the Fallen going to find out if you do something like this?

He wont as long as I dont kill him. My main body is at a different location, after all.

Merlin shook her head. A frightening smile appeared on her face as she said that shed already thought about how the other executives were moving when she did it.

By the way

Raon pointed at the Specter that he could see on the swamp. His violently trembling body looked like he was experiencing intense pain.

Why is he looking so pained?

He couldnt understand why he looked so pained when he was just locked inside a fish tank.

Its because Im cursing him.

Curse?

Yeah, Im repeatedly reciting a curse with the power of will to give him mental pain. Its closer to sorcery than magic.

Merlin briskly rolled her eyes to look down on the Specter.

He wont be able to escape the fish tank, but even if he does, he will run away the moment he sees you.

She hit the swamp once again with her front foot and the video changed. The scene showing the ceiling seemed to be the point of view from the Specters location, looking towards the top of the fish tank.

Thats

Merlin was above the fish tank with crimson light sparking from her eyes. Her red lips were twitching endlessly.

Huah

Wrath saw Merlins eyes floating above the fish tank and almost fainted.

Sh-shes a real madwoman! Shes so extremely crazy!

He said she was even more insane than his stalker in Devildom and hid inside the ice flower bracelet.

Hmm

Raon swallowed nervously and nodded. He didnt really feel anything when Wrath had previously called her insane, but watching how she was cursing the Specter tightened his heart.

Do you know whats even scarier?

Wrath secretly poked his head out from the ice flower bracelet.

The madwoman is using her own lifespan to show you that video right now.

Ah

Raon remembered that Merlin had to spend her lifespan to use magic as an animal. Everything about her was seriously frightening.

You can stop now.

Hmm? Dont you wanna keep watching him? He gave you such a hard time. You wont get tired of watching him all day long!

But you are losing your lifespan.

Are you worried about me? I can throw away a thousand years for your sake!

Merlin was deeply impressed and tried to make the screen even bigger with a smile on her face. She was really difficult to deal with.

I dont need it, just shut it off.

Raon sighed and touched the swamp where the Specter was shown. The surface splashed and the screen disappeared.

I really dont mind this much.

Merlin looked like she wanted to show him more as she licked her lips and removed the spell to show the video.

Anyway, the Specter isnt coming out ever again, right?

Yeah. Even if he does, he will be crippled and wont be able to do anything.

I see

Raon nodded. He could see that no one would retain their sanity when the huge Merlin kept cursing from above endlessly. Just thinking about it made a chill run down his spine.

Anyway, Im glad to hear that.

The Specter had an outrageous ability.

Even if he couldnt use that jewel anymore, he was definitely a powerful opponent. Getting him out of the picture mustve been an important loss for Eden.

I also need to get stronger.

If the four factions, including Milland, hadnt helped him, and if Rimmer hadnt been there to take him by surprise, lots of people couldve ended up dying.

It was necessary to keep advancing to a higher realm instead of being satisfied with his achievements.

Raon decided he was going to start a hellish training with the Light Wind squad as soon as he returned to the house and lowered his gaze.

Merlin was quietly looking up at him.

Are you sure you are okay?

What do you mean?

What are you going to do if the Fallen ends up finding out about this?

Wow, this is the second time today you are worrying about me. My love is finally bearing results!

Stop with the nonsense.

Hes not going to find out, but I can just leave if he does.

Merlin whispered to him that she didnt care about Eden anymore, and she was only staying for Raons sake.

Haa

Raons shoulders trembled. Every single thing she said and did gave him goosebumps.

The time is almost up.

Merlin smiled cheerfully and waved her hand.

Im leaving now. See you later.

Her smile looked like she was telling him the meeting was over.

Thank you for caring about me.

Ah

Merlins eyes became round and her lips curved into a thin smile. It looked like she didnt expect him to say that.

I knew I made the correct decision.

Stop saying those strange things. The crocodile wants food, right?

Raon smiled faintly while looking at the crocodiles teeth.

Thats easy.

He just needed to go over the castle walls, and he could find plenty of meat. He could just take out some of them.

No.

Merlin casually shook her head.

Huh?

It wants you to scratch its back.

B-back? Scratch its back?

Yeah, thirty minutes should be enough. See you later.

She told him to scratch all over its back to make it feel more satisfied and waved her hand.

Grr.

Once Merlins presence disappeared, Raon noticed the wilderness return to the crocodiles vertical pupils.

Grr!

The crocodile shoved its back onto Raon, urging him to keep the promise.

Haa

Raon sighed while putting his hand on the crocodiles bumpy back.

Am I really doing this now?

I-is she gone?

* * *

* * *

Mustan narrowed his eyes while observing the back of his master, Rector.

Why is he acting strange today?

His master wanted to see Raon Ziegharts swordsmanship, but his face stiffened as soon as he saw Raon.

He was supposed to ask about his swordsmanship but simply left without asking anything and kept staring at the sky all day long.

Mustan had been serving him as a disciple for a long time, but hed never seen that happen before.

Whats happening? It cant be

His master was amazed when he saw the traces of the blade created by Raon and fell speechless when he actually met him.

Since the Sword Demon signified that he was crazy for swords, there was only one explanation for his behavior.

Is it because of his talent?

He became certain that his masters reaction came from his admiration for Raon Ziegharts talent.

Damn it

He was irritated by the fact that his masters expression was filled with emotions because of a young warrior just out of his teens when hed never done that for Mustan.

I didnt like him to begin with.

He shouldve been the one to be called the Young Sword Demon and the White Sword Dragon because he was the disciple of the Sword Demon.

Mustan clenched his fist, thinking that Raon had it all even though he was younger than himself.

Moreover, the fact that he wasnt a normal disciple of his master was stirring his inferiority complex even further.

Mustan exhaled the irritation weighing down on his heart and walked up to Rector.

Master.

Whats the matter?

Rector emotionlessly responded without even looking at him.

Master, are you alright?

Dont mind me. Go out there and enjoy the festival.

He shook his hand as if he were chasing away a fly. Hed never seen th look in the eyes of his masters reflection on the window.

Is he that amazing?

He became anxious that his master was regretting having him as a disciple since he hadnt done it on his own volition.

Is Raon Zieghart that great?

What?

Rector looked at Mustan for the first time. A frightening glow was emerging from his eyes.

Ive never seen the look in your eyes when you saw him or the traces hed made.

Rector raised his chin and stared at Mustan.

What are you trying to say?

Id like to spar against the White Sword Dragon.

Spar?

Yes. Im going to defeat Raon Zieghart and prove that Im the most suitable disciple of my master!

Mustan confidently declared and clenched the hilt of his sword.

You want to spar

Rector coldly closed his eyes. Mustan couldnt tell at all what he was thinking.

Are you confident?

Of course!

Mustan nodded, saying that he was obviously confident.

Fine.

Rector nodded and stood up from the sofa for the first time.

Do whatever you want.

I wont disappoint you!

Mustan nodded and left the room.

Haa

Rector quietly sighed while following him.

I must be mistaken.

* * *

Raon scratched the crocodiles back for about thirty minutes before returning to the castle.

The festival had already started, and people were laughing and cheering from all around the place.

The King of Essence is exhausted from dealing with the madwoman. Lets start eating already!

Let me clean myself up first.

Because the crocodile kept jolting while he scratched its back, his body was covered in mud. It was necessary to clean his hands and face before eating.

Haa.

Raon sighed and went into the castle.

Did you play with mud or something? What happened to your clothes?

Burren laughed bitterly while looking at Raons clothes covered in mud.

Did you really play with a crocodile?

Runaan asked if it was fun, her eyes wide. She looked like she also wanted to join him.

Are you really playing with mud at your age? Keep your dignity as our vice squad leader.

Martha shook her head, calling him pathetic.

I didnt.

He simply shook his hand before heading to the well, because he figured he would sound even crazier if he said he scratched the crocodiles back.

He drew the water and was about to clean his hands and face when a young man wearing fluttering white clothes came walking towards him.

He is

He was the young man whod called the Sword Demon his master. Raon remembered him because hed had a ferocious pressure around him even though it was the first encounter.

The Sword Demon was following behind him. He was drawing peoples attention because of how tall he was.

Did he come to enjoy the festival?

He had a strange reaction in the morning, but Raon figured he should go ahead and greet him since he was previously helped. When he was about to go towards the Sword Demon, his disciple stood on his way.

Hmm?

Raon looked around and was about to ask why he was doing that when Mustan bowed.

Nice to meet you. Im master Rectors disciple, Mustan.

Im Raon Zieghart from the Light Wind squad.

Raon greeted him back since Mustan was being polite despite his ferocious gaze.

Excuse me, but I have a request. Can you grant it to me?

What kind of request is it?

Mustan glanced at the Sword Demon coming towards them from behind before tapping on his scabbard.

Id like to feel how powerful the White Sword Dragon is since your great name is known throughout the continent. Would you spar with me?

He bowed once again and requested a spar.

The Sword Demons discipleHes definitely powerful.

Raon could feel an outstanding power from him, as he wouldve expected from the disciple of the Sword Demon. He could feel that he was a powerful warrior whod managed to incorporate countless martial arts in his swordsmanship.

It wouldnt be a bad idea.

He was bound to gain a lot from the match regardless of the outcome.

However

Raon licked his lips, while looking up to the Sword Demon standing behind Mustan.

I would be able to gain even more if I fought his master instead of the disciple.

Since even Wrath had acknowledged how powerful he was, he could learn a lot more than the spar against Mustan even if he was defeated in a single strike.

It was a great opportunity for him since he had to get stronger even faster.

Alright.

Raon nodded at Mustan before looking at the Sword Demon.

In return, can I also make a request?

A request?

The Sword Demons lips parted for the first time.

If I can still fight after the match against the disciple, Id like to have an opportunity to cross blades against Sir Rector.

Crossing the blades implied that he wanted to learn from him rather than sparring against him.

How can you say that?!

Mustan bared his teeth and unleashed violent pressure around him.

You want an opportunity

The Sword Demons gaze quickly became serious.

Are you confident?

Raon smiled faintly while touching Heavenly Drives hilt. A crimson heat haze appeared on his eyes.

Ill answer that question with the result.
