Chapter 356

Mark Goeten’s right hand, which gripped the curved blade, trembled violently.

“Deflecting it? Mere sword energy against my aura?”

For the first time, anger ignited in eyes that had been filled only with irritation.

“This brat is worse than that little one. Does the Gale Wind Squad only recruit big-mouthed fools?”

Mark Goeten twisted his lips as he looked at Dorian.

“There’s some truth to that.”

I chuckled and grabbed Dorian’s collar, hurling him backward. His body flew roughly as if about to crash into the wall, but slowed gracefully and descended softly to the ground.

“Hmm….”

Mark Goeten’s eyes narrowed as he observed the sight.

“So it’s not complete nonsense after all.”

He thrust the curved blade forward. An even denser aura surged above the crescent-shaped edge.

“You have no connection to the Water Master, so I can beat you half to death without consequence.”
“Feel free to try.”
“Insolent bastard!”

With those words, Mark Goeten’s figure vanished. He appeared from the left as if teleporting and brought the curved blade crashing down.

Whoooosh!

The blade strike, wrapped in tremendous wind pressure, descended as if to tear through my shoulder.

Boom!

I extended my right foot to the right. I tilted my body faster than the descending blade strike.

Boom!

By the narrowest margin, Mark Goeten’s blade missed my shoulder and struck the ground instead.

“Hmph!”

Mark Goeten, as if he had anticipated this much, twisted the blade that had carved through the earth and hurled it toward my right side. He unleashed a sword strike that left no room for evasion given my direction of movement.

‘Quite swift.’

I pivoted my left ankle inward and retreated. The Garam footwork that naturally bloomed from my steps deflected Mark Goeten’s blade. Strands of hair severed by the sword’s edge scattered through the air.

“Your footwork is impressive. But!”

Mark Goeten’s eyes gleamed fiercely as he stomped the ground.

Crackle!

He predicted the direction of my Garam footwork and seized the space first, raising his blade in a cutting arc. Swift yet decisive—his strikes embodied the sword’s greatest advantages: speed and sharpness.

‘So he hasn’t completely deteriorated despite his indulgences.’

Though he apparently did whatever it took to earn money for entertainment, he hadn’t entirely neglected his training. His aura possessed both quality and quantity at a respectable level.

‘Perfect.’

He was an ideal opponent to test my enhanced stats from consuming the Sea Bloom Flower and Phantom Jellyfish cores.

Whoooosh!

I unfolded the Garam footwork in succession, effortlessly deflecting Mark Goeten’s sinister blade strikes.

“You said you’d diminish my aura—how much longer will you simply flee?”

Mark Goeten’s brow furrowed as he accelerated his assault.
After unleashing the first strike, he immediately repositioned backward and launched a second blade. Lightning-like aura bent with exquisite precision, pouring down from both front and back.

“I just saw the situation a little bit.”

Raon turned his ankles and waist in the opposite direction. His upper body turned flexibly like a leaf on water, and he exquisitely avoided the first attack.

Whoa!

When Mark Goeton saw the second attack coming directly at him, he stopped walking and lowered his center of gravity. He twisted his wrist thinly and performed a soft sword technique.

“You idiot!”

Mark Goeton sneered and struck with his sword. The waves of strong energy that filled the Tao were pressing down on my entire body.

‘It’s about this much.’

After breaking the pressure of the strong energy with only the strength of his body, he raised his long sword. The sword energy blooming on the blade spiraled and cut off the strong energy surrounding the sword.

Chijijijijijing!

It was a sight as if a red waterspout was swirling around the river.

“What a useless thing… huh?”

Mark Goeton, who was about to strike downwards, stopped abruptly. He gaped when he saw the sword he was holding.

‘The strength has been reduced?’

A moment ago, a red energy had just passed by, but the steel that surrounded the sword was dented as if it had been torn by an animal.

I had never seen or heard of someone cutting off strong energy with a sword. I couldn’t figure out what happened.

“you….”

Mark Goeton swallowed his saliva and glared at Raon.

“What did you do?”
“What did you do?”

Raon shrugged his shoulders leisurely.

“Are you saying that?”

Mark Goeton rushes in, regaining his lost strength. Unlike before, an established path is embedded in his teaching method. He started using proper martial arts.

Raon narrowed his eyes as he watched the twisted river rushing towards him.

‘That’s unusual.’

It was a rough technique of alternating between right and left, and was much faster and more powerful than a normal slash.

‘but… .’

It’s not to the point where I can’t break it.

He extended his long sword, predicting the sword’s movements. Strong energy is a collection of sword energy and a conglomerate of auras created by gathering together. In the end, if you use your sword countless times, you will inevitably be cut off.

Jjijijijijik!

The soft sword technique containing the true meaning of the spiral power continued like a constellation and ripped off Mark Goeton’s strength.

Blood profit!

Raon did not stop with just defense and went one step further.
I did not stop at mere defense—I pressed forward with another step. I unleashed the severed blade energy like an arrow, piercing through Mark Goeten’s waist. Blood erupted from the gaping wound.

“Ugh!”

Mark Goeton grabbed his waist and jumped back. His eyes fluttered in shock.

“…Sashimi, is it rotation?”

Perhaps he had no sense at all, but he seemed to realize how the steel had been torn off.

“Yes. I scraped off your strength with a spinning sword.”

Raon nodded and aimed his long sword.

“Well, that doesn’t make sense. I don’t even know the path of my Byeokrando, so how can I figure out its movements and cut down its strength!”
“Of course I don’t know them. But where you would move was obvious enough.”

The drawing method called Byeokrando, as mentioned by Mark Goeton, was a martial art in which the drawing was drawn in an angular manner like a thunderbolt.
The Crimson Lightning Blade that Mark Goeten had mentioned was a martial technique that carved paths of aura downward using a sword strike shaped like jagged lightning.

“It’s an achievement beyond even basic footwork and basic swordsmanship. Even sword skills are a waste.”
“It doesn’t even match basic footwork and basic swordplay. It’s not even worth wasting aura on.”

Mark Goeten gritted his teeth until they bled.

“Talent. That’s the difference between his talent!”

His momentum became so great that it was different from before. Tendons began to sprout on his forehead as if he was exerting his power.

“Why does everyone else have talent that I don’t have?”

Mark Goeton runs screaming, breaking the floor. A vicious force of energy shot out from his path. kyung
Mark Goeten roared and shattered the ground beneath him as he charged forward. Ferocious aura erupted from his blade. Though his realm was only low-tier Master, decades of accumulated power burst forth all at once.

Kuwaaaa!

The river that bloomed in the province drew dozens of violent trajectories, creating a storm of auras. It was so powerful that even the slightest touch could tear off an entire piece of flesh.

-Are you really going to fight with only swords?

Lars frowned, saying it was meaningless.

-I’m revealing my identity anyway, so I can just use my strength… .
‘A warrior’s word must be kept.’

Raon smiled coldly and dived into the storm on the river crossing. After understanding the movement of Tao Beop, a huge flow was created that wrapped around the path.

Coo coo coo coo!

A faster, sharper, and more grandiose flow of swordsmanship than Mark Goeton’s Byeokrando season encircled the storm of Taogang, creating a red-hot glow.

Hwaaaaa!

The strength that covered the training ground all disappeared, and Mark Goeton’s sword crumbled to dust.
Wounds carved by sword energy split across his entire body, blood pouring down. They were injuries that would have been fatal had they gone any deeper.

“ah….”

Mark Goeten knelt in vain, like a doll whose strings had fallen. His limbs were shaking, as if all his strength had been lost.

“Now it has finally come to live up to its nickname, Nakhwado.”

Raon put the long sword on his shoulder and laughed.

“What are you….”

Mark Goeten lifted his head with difficulty. A light of despair bloomed in his eyes.

“Can you erase the thunderstorm with a sword? How can a guy like you not even be rumored…?”
“To erase Thunderbolt Heaven Wind with a single sword strike… how have you remained unknown to the world?”
“Do you even know my name?”

Mark Goeton bit his lip, perhaps realizing that he had been fighting without even hearing his own name.

“I was overconfident. A master is not invincible. Sword energy does not necessarily mean that it loses to strong energy.”
“Your confidence was excessive. The Master is not invincible. Sword aura doesn’t always lose to pure force.”

Mark Goeton opened his mouth with a cracked voice.

“An ordinary guy like me can’t become like you even if he spends his entire life. What’s the difference between you and me? What did we do to have such talent!”

He screamed as if he was angry.

“Talent. Talent. I’m bored.”

Raon looked down at Mark Goeton and frowned.

“It’s as you say. I have talent, and I have luck. But what does that have to do with your weakness?”
“You’re right. I have talent, and I have fortune. But what does that have to do with your weakness?”
“If only I had talent like you….”

In this life, luck and timing overlapped to create a good environment.
In this life, fortune and timing had converged to create favorable circumstances.

“I asked you earlier how you read the flow of Taoism?”

Raon looked down at Mark Goeton with cold eyes.

“It’s simple. It’s because your herbivory was poor. You were sloppy with your herbivorous training.”
“It’s simple. Your footwork was sloppy. You neglected your basic stance training.”
“W-what nonsense! I haven’t abandoned the Way!”
“Right. You haven’t abandoned it, but you’ve only focused on the subtleties of the Way and aura cultivation. When was the last time you properly executed your stances from beginning to end?”
“Ugh….”

I was irritated that someone who didn’t put in a lot of effort was disparaging the talent I created while enduring pain that would make an ordinary person want to die.

In particular, I was irritated by Mark Goeton, who had freedom but was only in despair because he lived a life in his past life where he couldn’t work hard even if he wanted to.

“How many times have you been on the verge of death? Have you ever fainted while training? Have you ever built an achievement that sets you apart from others? What challenges have you taken on?”
“How many times have you faced death? Have you ever collapsed from training? Have you accumulated achievements different from others through your own efforts? What challenges have you undertaken?”

Mark Goeton could not answer anything. I just looked at Raon with my chin shaking.
Mark Goeten couldn’t answer any of my questions. He only stared at me, his jaw trembling.

“Flowers grown in greenhouses cannot survive even small trials.”

Raon approached Mark Goeten with his left fist clenched.

“Don’t cover up your laziness and incompetence with talent.”

As he said that, he hit Mark Goeton in the chin with his fist.

Whoops!

Mark Goeton was thrown into the wall without even being able to scream.

Pudddeuk!

The wall collapsed with a loud noise as if the earth was splitting apart. Mark Goeton couldn’t get up and stretched out his arms.

“W-what! What is this?”

Palen’s chin trembled as he looked at the smoke rising from the collapsed wall.

“Wake up! How much money did I give you, and you sat down on the expert!”

She rolled her eyes and shouted at Mark Goeton, who was unconscious.

“Wake up!”

Palen continued to shout, but Mark Goeton did not come to his senses.

“hey.”

Raon walked in front of Palen with his long sword slung over his shoulder.

“Ugh….”

Because he didn’t raise his momentum, Palen only frowned and didn’t feel that intimidated.

“Don’t think this is the end.”

She gritted her teeth, glaring straight into Raon’s eyes.

“I only hired those scum for a short time for this job. If I bring in the real ones, I can trample on you at any time.”
“That vermin was merely hired temporarily for this task. If I bring the real ones, I can crush someone like you whenever I please.”

Raon smiled slightly and lifted his chin.

“Really?”
“Is that so?”
“You’re naive too. There’s nothing money cannot move. Bonds? You believe in such invisible nonsense? With enough gold, I could summon Zigheart and Robert this very moment. Bringing you to your knees would be child’s play!”

Raon swept up his disheveled hair. The red hair that touched his hand became a brilliant golden wave, and the blue eyes that were like the sea evaporated and spewed out red flames.

“Well, blonde hair and red eyes….”

Palen was scared and took a step back. My legs seemed to have lost strength and I collapsed before I could take a few steps.

Gooooooo!

Raon’s momentum rose like wildfire. In a split second, this entire gymnasium became a space under his control.

“Can you trample on me?”
“Can you crush me?”

Palen’s eyes sway like a sailboat hit by a huge wave. She was chatting her teeth and shaking all over as if she had lost her mind.

‘Raon Sieghardt… .’

Why is this monster here?

After kidnapping Raon, the entire branch of Eden was wiped out, and the head of Baekhyeolgyo was seriously injured.

It is not easy to find someone who can handle the powerlessness of Raon. Because there are not many people who can deal with the White Sword Dragon, who destroyed Borini Keaton, Garona, and Cadis in succession.

But leaving all that aside… .

scary.

When I looked at those red eyes, which were darker and deeper than the bright red moon, my head went blank and I couldn’t think of anything. I wanted to get down on my knees right now and escape from that fear.

“Say, can you trample on me?”
“Tell me. Can you trample me?”

Palen lowered his head as if in submission.

“Keueuuuuu….”

Unable to overcome the knife-sharp force and mental shock, she fainted and fell backwards.

Raon’s eyes turned to the large warrior next to Palen.

“Are you going to surrender?”
“Will you surrender?”

The large warrior waved his hands wildly as if he had lost all fighting spirit.

“No need.”

Raon frowned and punched the large warrior in the face.

Wow!

Because he did not spare any effort, the warrior’s huge body fell upside down into the ground.

“It’s pathetic that a warrior would say defeat without even fighting.”

Raon clicked his tongue and shook his hands.

-her… .

Lars was in vain as he looked at Raon and the drone pinned to the ground.

-Isn’t this really crazy?

He asks if Ji is going to surrender, and when he surrenders, he beats him up. I wondered if there were other devils like this in the world.

-No matter how much I thought about it, I found the answer. This is not where you belong, but the demon world… .
-No matter how I think about it, the answer is clear. Your place is not here, but the Demon Realm….

Dorian bit his lip and looked at Raon’s back.

It was natural for Raon to take down Mark Goeton. Because his strength was enough to defeat even the master class.

‘What’s really surprising is… .’

That he broke the sword with the sword.

He really didn’t give a damn. Without even using special martial arts skills, he defeated Mark Goeton with only his sword and basic martial arts skills. Even though I saw it before my eyes, it was hard to believe it.

‘but… .’

It was truly surprising, but what really touched me deeply was not Raon’s lack of education, but what he said.

[Just as you boasted about making money, Dorian came to Sieghardt and built a relationship. It means I am his strength.]

[I and the other Gwangpungdan swordsmen are ready to raise our swords and risk our lives for this guy. That can never be bought with money.]

That’s it. Those words, which flowed so calmly, constantly lingered in my head and pierced my heart strongly.

tie.
Fate. Connection.

It was especially heartbreaking because the person who said those words was Raon Sieghardt, who usually doesn’t joke.

‘Because it means it’s sincere.’

Even if Raon doesn’t know anything else, he doesn’t lie about Gwangpungdan. Saying something like that in a situation like this really meant that everyone in the Gwangpungdan thought of him that way.

‘It wasn’t just me.’

His real home is not this top, but Gwangpungdan. I would risk my life for them, but I couldn’t hold back tears as I realized that everyone felt the same way.

“Ugh….”

Dorian forced himself up using his sword as a cane. I bowed my head to Raon, who was standing alone.

‘thank you.’

For scolding this idiot.

Raon spoke as if threatening Palen, but it was probably he who really wanted her to wake up.

‘You are not alone. It was clear that this incident was planned to make people realize that Raon Sieghardt and the Gwangpungdan are behind you.

‘Thank you so much… .’
‘I’m truly grateful….’

As Dorian continued to wipe his tears and lower his head, a large shadow appeared before his eyes and Raon’s voice was heard.

“Well, I’m thankful….”
“I, I was trying to express my gratitude….”

Raon turned his wrist and grinned.

“I haven’t liked your sister since we started speaking informally. Now that we’ve broken everything, I feel relieved.”
“I’ve disliked your sister ever since she started mixing in casual speech. Destroying her completely… it really does ease the mind.”

Dorian hiccuped and looked up.

“Well, then it’s not because of me….”
“S-so it wasn’t because of me….”
“You? What did you do? Weren’t you just beaten and done with?”
“No, you said you were standing behind me….”

Raon chuckled and pointed at Palen, who had fainted.

“To enlighten me….”
“You were trying to enlighten me….”
“No, I wasn’t.”

Dorian swallowed dryly. It was not wrong to say that Palen had clearly lost his mind due to the mental shock.

‘W-You didn’t mean it?’

As I lowered my eyes in regret, Raon tapped my shoulder.

“I was just informing you of the facts. Thank you for your hard work. Today, you were a proper prosecutor for the Gwangpungdan.”

After giving Raon a firm shoulder massage, he walked to the exit of the training ground.

“ah….”

Dorian bit his lip, holding his violently shaking chest. I bowed my head more politely than ever.

“thank you!”
“Thank you!”
“That’s enough. Let’s go.”

I answered with all my might and followed Raon.

“It’s noisy….”
“Noisy….”
“I-I’m sorry! I’m just so happy….”

Raon said he was hungry and looked at his wrist and frowned. I muttered that it was annoying cotton candy and turned my head.

“Let’s eat first.”
“Let’s eat first.”

Dorian nodded.

“I will ask you to prepare a meal.”
“I’ll have a meal prepared for us.”
“You come with me.”
“Ah, I should go to the Medical Office first….”
“That’s nothing a little saliva won’t fix. Let’s go eat.”
“But I was struck by a blade….”
“Want to do some more training first?”

Dorian wiped away his tears and shook his head.

‘As expected, this person… .’

I was impressed because he looked really cool today, but he started to look like the devil again. He is also an unpredictable person.

“Ugh….”

Dorian sighed and was about to leave the training ground, but Raon did not follow, but was looking up at the tree to the west.

“Aren’t you going?”
“Aren’t you coming?”

Raon narrowed his eyes as he looked at the tree at the western end of the training ground.

“A flying squirrel?”

Dorian tilted his head, examining the tree.

“I don’t think anyone was there….”
“There doesn’t seem to be anything there….”

Raon muttered that he was going to get neurotic and shook his head.

“Well, I don’t know about flying squirrels, but there are quite a few bats.”

He looked up at the sky with a cool smile.

“I’m looking forward to seeing the reaction tomorrow?”
