Chapter 767

Clang!

Raon deflected the sword strike fired by the Green-haired Queen and turned his gaze toward Wrath.

‘What does he mean by that? A scent similar to mine?’

I thought Wrath was lost in contemplation, perhaps pondering the evening meal, but he suddenly threw out something strange, leaving me bewildered.

-Exactly as I said.

Wrath flicked his chin toward the Green-haired Queen.

-That false queen possesses a temperament similar to yours.

He muttered with certainty, his brow furrowing.

‘Temperament? Does she possess a talent similar to mine?’

I licked my lips as I watched the Green-haired Queen resume her stance.

‘That’s not good.’

If she truly possessed the ability to grow stronger through combat like I did, then my battle with her would undoubtedly become far more grueling than anticipated.

-To be precise, her innate talent itself surpasses yours.

Wrath nodded, acknowledging that even he recognized the Green-haired Queen’s talent.

Crash!

I severed the Green-haired Queen’s strike, which possessed elastic tension like an arrow, and furrowed my brow.

‘Is that all?’

Wrath does not easily acknowledge others. If this creature acknowledged her talent, it would be no exaggeration to call her the finest on the Continent.

‘She’s certainly a bit different.’

The Green-haired Queen continued to shift the properties of her swordsmanship, as if searching for my weaknesses.
Rather than relying on a single confident technique, she was probing for the enemy’s vulnerabilities—and that made her feel genuinely similar to me.

-What the True Demon King means to say is not about talent.

Wrath shook his head calmly.

‘Then what?’
-The scent of her innate existence is similar to yours. To put it simply, it’s as if you both came from the same source.

He furrowed his brow, calling it a strange matter.

‘I don’t understand what you mean by innate nature or scent, but…’

I looked down at the Green-haired Queen and swung the Heavenly Sword in a wide arc.

‘Right now, defeating her is the priority.’

The Green-haired Queen was formidable. If I let my mind wander while fighting her, not only would I suffer, but the Gwangpung Corps and the Arian Family swordsmen behind me would take damage as well. I needed to focus entirely on the battle.

Whoooosh!

The Green-haired Queen unleashed another massive blade of aura, targeting the left castle wall that was already trembling on the verge of collapse.

Crack!

I unfurled Frost Chain and froze the Green-haired Queen’s sword strike as it carved into the castle wall.
However, the shockwave was so severe that it ultimately brought down the right castle wall instead.

Roarrrrr!

Ogres and trolls surged forward as if they’d been waiting for this moment, leaping over the collapsed castle wall.

Of course, I didn’t need to move.

Rumble!

Mark Goeten sliced apart all the monsters climbing the castle wall with a strike wreathed in lightning, as if welcoming them forward.

Tsk.

The Green-haired Queen clicked her tongue in displeasure and pointed her sword toward the right castle wall. She seemed to be planning a diversionary attack.

“Sigh.”

I exhaled softly as I watched her movements.

‘It seems I have no choice but to go down.’

The Green-haired Queen didn’t need to protect the monsters, but I had to protect the people inside the castle, so it seemed better to descend and engage in battle.

“I can go.”

When I turned back, Rimer tapped his chest as if telling me to trust the Organization Master.

“I don’t trust him much.”

I chuckled and kicked off the castle wall, leaping down into the plains.

Screeeech!

The Green-haired Queen moved with swift footwork as if she’d expected this, thrusting her sword toward my heart.
She was targeting the moment when I was suspended in the air and unable to move.

“Unfortunately…”

I twisted my expression as I stepped on empty air as if it were solid ground.

“I overcame that long ago.”

I swung my sword downward in counterattack toward the Green-haired Queen’s neck as she pressed her assault.

Claaaang!

The Green-haired Queen hastily raised her sword to defend, but she was overwhelmed in strength and staggered back five steps.
She gripped her trembling blade with renewed force, her eyes gleaming with an even more sinister light.

“What’s going through your mind?”

Raon cocked his head as he watched the Green-haired Queen lean her upper body forward.

“There are no treasures in that castle that you desire.”
“….”

The Green-haired Queen said nothing. As if combat alone was her purpose, she crossed the space in a single breath and drove a vicious sword strike forward.

“It’s pointless to—hm?”

Raon’s eyes widened as he observed the swordsmanship the Green-haired Queen displayed. The blade that had been cutting in a thin line split into two trajectories, aiming for his throat and heart.

‘Frost Chain?’

The subtle essence of the Frost Chain technique I had unleashed on the castle wall moments ago was woven into the Green-haired Queen’s swordsmanship.

‘She copies it after seeing it once?’

Whether it was the power of the black orc helmet or this woman’s own talent, it was absurd either way.

‘Still….’

It’s still crude.

The Frost Chain requires adjusting the time interval between blade strikes depending on the opponent, but the Green-haired Queen was simply swinging faster.

Clang!

Raon blocked both blade trajectories simultaneously with the Heavenly Sword and unleashed the Manhwagong Rotation. The saw-toothed flames spinning like a wheel pushed back the Green-haired Queen who tried to close in.

“….”

Despite the severe impact, the Green-haired Queen didn’t let out a single groan and raised her sword again.
It seemed she was proving that she was the king of warriors.

“If you don’t wish to speak….”

Raon extended the Heavenly Sword to his right. The moment the crimson lines engraved on the blade deepened, hundreds of petals blanketed the plains.

“Die mute.”

I summoned a firestorm through the Manhwagong’s flame spirit, engulfing the Green-haired Queen in inferno.

Screeeeeech!

The Green-haired Queen, recognizing the danger of the flame spirit, conjured barriers equal to the number of her petals, extinguishing the flames.

Clang clang clang!

I gave her no respite, unfolding the Thirty-Six Fatal Points technique to target every vital spot across her entire body.

Boom!

The Green-haired Queen realized she couldn’t block every sword path, so she sacrificed her left flank while deflecting all strikes aimed at her vital points.

“As expected….”

I nodded slowly, recalling the swordsmanship the Green-haired Queen had displayed.

‘She’s mastering the Ten Thousand Swords.’

The Green-haired Queen was a practitioner of the Ten Thousand Swords, just like me.

‘And moreover….’

She’s growing through combat.

Just as I wielded the Ring of Fire to enhance my martial prowess, the Green-haired Queen was using her opponent’s techniques to strengthen her own power.
I didn’t know what Wrath meant by innate disposition, but now I understood why he said we were similar.

Whoosh!

The Green-haired Queen charged forward without even stanching her wound, as if determined to see this through to the end.
That serene gaze suggested she was confident in her victory.

‘This is exhilarating.’

I twisted my lips into a smile as I faced the Green-haired Queen. When it came to devouring enemies and growing stronger, I would yield to no one.

Roooooaaarrr!

I manipulated the ring of fire and summoned the flame spirit once more. Faster and fiercer fragments of flame engulfed the Green-haired Queen.

Boom!

The Green-haired Queen unfurled the same number of strong rings as petals to block the flame spirit, but she couldn’t intercept them all—burns marked her body in several places.
Her eyes widened in disbelief that the flame spirit’s power had grown so much in such a short time.

“Let’s keep going.”

I flicked my finger toward the Green-haired Queen.

“Let’s see who devours whom.”

“There he goes again.”

Martha shook her head as she watched my back.

“He’ll come back stronger again. It’s exhausting. So exhausting.”

She sliced through an ogre climbing the castle wall and furrowed her brow.

“Today might be different.”

Burren narrowed his eyes as he observed the Green-haired Queen.

“The Green-haired Queen seems to grow stronger as she fights too.”

He furrowed his brow with a hint of concern.

“It’s fine.”

Lunan focused solely on the battle atop the castle wall, unlike Martha and Burren.

“Raon will win.”

She trusted him completely, not even glancing down at the battlefield below.

“Y-yes, that’s right. Raon’s sword has grown stronger too. He absolutely won’t lose!”

Dorian lacked confidence in himself, but clenched his fist and shook it, declaring his absolute faith in Raon.

The Gwangpung Corps also displayed their trust in Raon, pouring all their focus into their own battles.

“Ha.”

Wendy let out a hollow laugh watching Raon and the Gwangpung Corps demonstrate such perfect trust in one another.
He still couldn’t believe those young ones had grown to this extent and returned.

“What kind of training could possibly….”
“Raon taught them all of it.”

Rimer flicked his finger, calling Raon his masterpiece.

“The swordsmen of the Arian Family could reach that level with the same training. Though admittedly, some would die in the process.”

He chuckled without taking his eyes off Raon’s battle.

“Um, about that….”

Wendy approached Rimer and lowered his gaze.

“Aren’t you going to move, Rimer?”

Rimer neither aided Raon nor supported the Gwangpung Corps, simply standing in place. Wendy was curious what he was thinking.

“Standing here….”

Rimer shook his head without taking his eyes off Raon’s back.

“is my duty.”

“They look evenly matched… but.”

The Twin-Headed Demon lowered his chin slightly as he watched the Green-haired Queen being pushed back.

“It seems Raon Zigheart’s talent surpasses hers.”

Both Raon and the Green-haired Queen possessed talents that grew through combat, yet there appeared to be a hierarchy even among such gifts.
The Green-haired Queen’s martial prowess was rarely matched across the entire Continent, but Raon’s combat talent and instincts seemed to transcend all ages.

“How tempting.”

If Raon donned a supreme-grade helmet, he could shatter the wall of transcendence and soar beyond it immediately.
A suitable helmet had just been crafted, and the timing and circumstances were perfect.

‘This time is different from before.’

Raon had once overcome a helmet’s power, but back then Merlin’s greed had been excessive.
A helmet forged by Tacheon would surely be able to consume that man’s consciousness.

“What do you think? Wouldn’t you like to join in with him as well?”

The Twin-Headed Demon shrugged his shoulders toward the Severed Soul Sword.

“….”

The Severed Soul Sword kept his heels raised, ready to move at any moment, as he observed the battle between Raon and the Green-haired Queen.

“Right. You agree then?”

The Twin-Headed Demon muttered to himself as if he had received permission, drawing a sinister smile.

‘It will be over soon.’

Raon and the Green-haired Queen were preparing a decisive blow capable of killing their opponent without revealing their full strength.
It seemed the battle would be decided within minutes.

‘Should I step in first?’

No, that won’t do. There’s that one.

The Twin-Headed Demon laughed as he watched the Severed Soul Sword’s trembling hands.

“Feel free to move if things get dangerous.”

He pointed a finger at Raon and the Green-haired Queen, who were conjuring a tempest of resonant force.

“Either way, it doesn’t matter.”
“….”

The Severed Soul Sword, understanding the words, gripped the sword’s hilt tightly and slowly stepped forward.

The Twin-Headed Demon watched the Severed Soul Sword’s back and stretched his lips into a long smile.

*

*

*

Crash!

Raon narrowed his eyes as he watched the Green-haired Queen bounce backward, unable to fully block the enemy’s strike.

‘She’s nearly at her limit.’

The Green-haired Queen possessed a talent for growing stronger through combat, but my ability with the Ring of Fire surpassed hers by a margin.
She too seemed unable to believe this situation, releasing a low groan of disbelief.

Roooooar!

Realizing that the longer the battle continued, the more disadvantageous it became, the Green-haired Queen grasped the Lion’s Sword with both hands.
A soft moonlight shimmered from her earrings, and an aura so overwhelming that breathing became difficult surged forth.

‘That is….’

I bit my lip as I felt the magnificent aura converging around the Green-haired Queen.

‘Hidden power.’

I had suspected she was concealing something ominous, but the energy was far more formidable than I had imagined.
If that aura struck directly, the entire Arian Family would crumble.

‘I have no choice but to meet it head-on.’

I tilted the Heavenly Sword downward at my waist and drew the Soul Reaper Sword with my left hand.

Lion’s Blade Infinite.

The lion’s sword held by the Green-haired Queen unleashed an aura so vast it seemed to touch the heavens.
The aura, blazing like flames, poured down as if it would split heaven and earth asunder.
It was not merely overwhelming power—the sword strike itself contained the mysteries of ten thousand blades, and any clumsy attempt to block it would mean instant death.

‘I cannot block it this way.’

I opened the Mental World, raising the Heavenly Sword above and lowering the Soul Reaper Sword below.

Sword Realm Incarnation Divine Demon Harmony Union.

I drew forth the divine and demonic blades from within the solemnly burning flames and frost.
With two swords each containing different heavens, I intercepted the Green-haired Queen’s descending slash.

Kuuuuuuuang!

As the ten thousand blades clashed with the nascent sword techniques, black fissures erupted across the battlefield, and a shockwave as if space itself were tearing apart swept through the surroundings.

Yet there was a difference in the hidden power. My divine and demonic blades unleashed increasingly fierce firepower, completely shattering the Green-haired Queen’s sword strike.
Her eyes trembled violently, filled with shock.

“It ends here.”

As I moved to sever the Green-haired Queen’s throat with the demonic blade, a sharp cutting sound pierced the air from my left.
The Severed Soul Sword. The monster I had seen at the Eden Branch in the past came hurtling toward me at a terrifying speed.

Clang!

But I didn’t need to see the Severed Soul Sword. Rimer, descending on the wind, blocked its blade for me.

‘What I need to see is….’

I spun around swiftly and drove the Heavenly Sword down toward the suddenly erupting ground.

“Huh?”

A helmeted man burst from the earth, scattering dust, and his eyes widened at the sight of the Heavenly Sword.

Clang!

He reacted quickly and blocked the Heavenly Sword, but couldn’t hide the bewilderment in his eyes.

“How did you know?”

The helmeted man let out an incredulous laugh from within the yellow dust.

“It was obvious.”

I tilted my chin lightly. Prey was always most vulnerable while feeding, so I’d anticipated that the Green-haired Queen would launch a surprise attack the moment she was in danger.

“No matter what you do….”

As I settled the dust, I caught sight of the man’s helmet and my lips trembled.

“The Twin-Headed Demon…?”

The Eden Ghost who had inflicted the greatest sorrow and pain upon Sylvia, who had killed my father and sister, was smiling before me.

“Do you know me? Well, you couldn’t not know.”

The Twin-Headed Demon curled his lips into a long smile.

“I heard you knew I was the one who killed your father and sister….”
“That doesn’t matter. It’s just….”

A chilling aura blazed across Raon’s crimson eyes.

“Die.”
