Chapter 241
‘Huh!’
The attack intensified.
Raymond mustered up his mana and narrowly escaped the attack.
‘Did he dodge again?’
The white-haired killer furrowed his eyebrows.
It’s definitely a sloppy posture, but Raymond avoided it exquisitely again.
He noticed that his opponent’s physical abilities were unusually high, so he couldn’t understand it.
The white-haired killer attacked one after another.
‘What the hell?’
The white-haired killer widened his eyes.
‘No matter how good your physical abilities are, it’s impossible, right?’
Right now, the white-haired killer was unleashing an attack that Raymond couldn’t dodge given his physical abilities.
But Raymond is avoiding such attacks.
“Really…… Is a miracle from heaven real?”
The white-haired killer asked in wonder.
‘No, it’s a militant instinct?’
But outwardly, he replied:
In the long run, if you drag it out for a few more seconds, it’s a bargain.
“Yes. As I struggle for others, the miracles of heaven accompany me! I won’t let anyone hurt my patients!”
At the outcry, the white-haired killer had no choice but to admit.
Raymond was actually accompanied by a miracle from heaven.
Not just the white-haired killer, but everyone in the council thought so.
The miracle that Raymond is performing now cannot be explained except by the blessing of heaven.
‘Is my disciple…… Is it a blessing from heaven that moves you to care for others?”
The Duke of Raif thought so.
In the first place, the meaning of the Heavenly Body, which is the body blessed by Heaven, is the nothingness bestowed upon us.
‘Hold on a little anyway! I’m going to finish him off!’
Then, an incident occurred.
“Hah!”
The white-haired killer who felt impatient raised a violent aura!
‘This is unavoidable!’
Raymond’s eyes widened.
It had to be stopped.
Instinctively, he raised his sword, and the effects of the winter sword appeared.
Pacha Chang!
The ice had risen!
The ice of the Red aura and the Winter Sword collided, and Raymond flew backwards!
‘Ahh It hurts!’
Raymond vomited blood.
He managed to shield himself from being sliced into half, but he felt a concussion inside.
His limbs did not move.
‘Oh no.’
Raymond looked distraught.
The white-haired killer was approaching.
“Looks like the blessings of heaven are over. I’m going to kill you now.”
A moment of despair.
There was an unexpected cry.
“Oh, stop! I’ll deal with you now!”
It was Elmud!
Unexpectedly, he was the first to stand up!
Of course, the condition was not normal.
His limbs were trembling.
“Do you want to die?”
“Yes, kill me instead!”
“What?”
“Death for hus lord is the glory of a knight! I’m going to die!”
Paaat!
Mana blades soared from Elmud’s sword.
Then a figure arose.
“…… Persecuting my disciple… I’ll kill you.”
It was the Duke of Raif.
He aimed his sword at him, his face flushed.
The white-haired killer’s face hardened.
It wasn’t just the two of them.
Everyone who had fallen struggled to get up from their seats and aim their swords.
‘How did they do it so fast?’
The white-haired killer had a face of incomprehension.
Even if the antidote was administered, the recovery was too fast.
‘Are they going to protect him?’
Everyone was moved by Raymond and showed desperate will.
In order not to let Raymond die.
‘Oh my gosh.’
The white-haired killer looked around.
Since this has happened, the operation is a failure.
He had to flee before he could be caught.
“Where are you going?!”
Noticing its escape, the Duke of Rife threw his sword at him, and a fierce battle began.
Raymond sighed deeply at the sight.
‘That’s it. It’s over.’
It was a lot of work, but he managed to get over the hump.
‘Let’s take a little rest. Argh. It hurts.’
He was so shocked that he couldn’t help himself.
‘But it’s all over. I can go and rest. Let’s get a nap.’
Then, an unexpected voice came in.
“You. After all, you’ve ruined everything about me. On my last journey, I’ll kill you.”
“……!”
It was Kairn!
He was staring down at Raymond with bloodshot eyes.
‘Now, wait.’
Raymond looked distraught.
Now Kairn knows he’s done and intends to kill Raymond as well.
‘You madman! Oh no!’
“Brother? To talk to our brothers for me, okay?”
Raymond hurriedly tried to talk to him, but he couldn’t make sense.
Kairn raised his sword.
He tried to dodge, but it was hard to raise my hand in the aftermath of the aura he had just suffered.
At this rate, he would be killed.
“Lord?”
Belatedly, Elmud noticed, and cried out, but to no avail.
He was in the middle of a battle with the white-haired killer, and he was far from helping.
“I’ll kill you.”
With a frenzied murmur, Kairn swung his sword.
The sword sliced through the wind and flew into Raymond’s throat.
‘Oh.’
Raymond’s body stiffened in the face of death.
Soon the sword will be driven into his throat.
Then again the unbelievable happened.
Towering.
Kairn’s sword has come to a halt in thin air!
‘……?’
Raymond looked puzzled.
Kairn’s face was stiff and his whole body trembled.
And a solid line was drawn around Kairn’s neck.
Paaat!
The blood fountain popped up!
A figure emerged from the fountain of blood.
A sloppy face.
Hardened eyes.
It was King Ode .
* * *
After the appearance of King Oden, the situation was closed.
Under the joint attack of the two Sword Masters, the white-haired killer collapsed in an instant.
The only regret is that at the last moment, he killed himself and they didn’t capture him alive.
As he was dying, he said something they didn’t understand.
“Damn Maestro! I’m finally freed from your jokes!”
Raymond looked puzzled.
Maestro?
It must be a title that has some meaning, so he decided to remember it and pass it on to the Wizard Tower.
For a moment, King Oden looked at the dead Kairn.
Oden’s eyes, as if he had heard of the evil deeds that Kairn had done, did not contain a single line of warmth.
“Put it away.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
King Oden then approached Raymond.
“Are you alright?”
“Oh…… Yes.”
“The after-effects of an Aura doesn’t go away easily. Make sure you get heal afterwards.”
“…… Got it.”
Raymond replied hesitantly.
Something was wrong with Oden.
‘Are you worried about me now? Could it be?’
That wasn’t the only weird thing.
Oden’s eyes on Raymond.
It was distorted, and there were countless emotions stirring up.
‘What?’
Raymond tilted his head in embarrassment.
He did not understand the condition of King Oden.
‘Did the delirium not wake him up properly? Is he still confused?’
Possibly!
There’s no way that Auden would be in his right mind to say a word of concern to him.
In any case, what is certain is that King Auden is not in good health right now.
His eyes were still full of pain, as if he had been suffering from confusion.
“…… Your Highness should take a break for now. Don’t overdo it just yet.”
Auden’s unexpected appearance made his heart flutter unnecessarily.
Raymond suppresses his confused feelings and speaks as a healer.
But.
“…… Before that, I have something to say to you.”
“……!”
Raymond’s face hardened.
“What is it?”
King Auden did not immediately speak.
I stared at Raymond’s face for a long moment.
“…… Speak.”
Suddenly, Raymond’s heart hardened as he realized what King Auden was about to say.
His face grew cold.
Seeing his son like that, the father had a remorseful young face.
‘I was foolish.’
While Auden was down, he witnessed a series of delirium and symma that spun endlessly.
So I saw it over and over again.
Raymond was in tears.
Raymond was in agony.
Raymond’s heart was rotting.
Raymond’s pain pierced his heart endlessly.
“It was all my fault.”
yes, I’ve known this for a long time.
It was all his fault.
‘Nothing I can do will wash away Raymond’s wounds.’
Auden knew.
Raymond will never forgive him.
That’s why he knew his mistakes but didn’t dare to bring them up.
Knowing that it will not be forgiven.
I avoided confronting him.
But now I understood.
Even if we cannot be forgiven, we must atone for our sins.
That was the least atonement for the hurt she had suffered.
Auden spoke slowly.
A horrible voice was heard by all.
“I’m sorry.”
“……!”
“I’ve hurt you irreparably. As a father…… I’m truly sorry.”
Raymond gritted his teeth.
Why?
I heard the apology I had hoped for, but I couldn’t feel better.
I was angrier.
Unable to hide his feelings, a cold voice came out.
“I think it’s too late. I don’t really want to hear it.”
King Auden had a sullen face.
It wasn’t the pain of not being forgiven.
It was a pity for the wounds that had accumulated in Raymond’s heart.
How much did it hurt?
I couldn’t imagine how painful it must have been.
When I thought about it, forgiveness was a ridiculous wish.
Knowing this, King Auden did not want himself to be forgiven.
Minister.
“No, I don’t want that. I know you don’t deserve it. Will you allow me to atone for you?”
“…….”
Raymond clenched his fists.
Why? I kept getting angry. I didn’t want to hear it.
But then King Auden did something amazing.
He bowed his head before Raymond.
“Hey, Your Highness!”
The nobles murmured in surprise.
But he was silenced by Auden’s silence.
“Stop! This is a personal matter between me and Raymond, so please keep quiet.”
“…….”
Raymond’s face hardened.
“…… Don’t do that. It would be inconvenient for Your Highness to do this.”
Yes, it was just uncomfortable.
King Auden said with a soft sigh.
“I know what I’ve done wrong. I don’t ask for forgiveness. But I want to repay you for my mistakes.”
Raymond frowned.
Honestly, I didn’t even want to pretend I didn’t listen.
Raymond realized once again how much he hated Auden.
His resentment was so deep that he wouldn’t budge even when he heard such an apology.
‘I don’t necessarily have to forgive you, do I?’
Raymond thought to himself.
