Chapter 557
“Whoa… … .”
Crane let out a sigh strong enough to erase the morning fog.
“I really didn’t know you were going to train until last night. He is a very strong human being.”
He muttered that he wanted to faint and tapped his shoulder with his lightly clenched fist.
“I know. I thought I’d let you go in the afternoon too, but I didn’t know you’d be wielding the sword until night.”
Burren nodded in agreement. The fatigue of training hung over his face.
“How pitiful!”
Martha frowned at Burren and Crane.
“What are you going to do when the guys who hold swords to become swordsmen can’t even endure that much training?”
She clicked her tongue in a mocking laugh.
“Nachal girl. My legs are shaking.”
Runaan approached and poked Marta’s thigh with his finger.
“Aaaagh!”
Because it was the place where Raon’s sword struck yesterday, Marta screamed and jumped.
“This, this crazy thing!”
Martha stretched out her hand toward Runan, galloping like a hungry beast.
“Pretentious girl.”
“Did you freak out because you wanted to die!”
Runaan stuck out her tongue and ran away, and Martha followed after him with her sword drawn.
“Two, you two are full of energy since morning.”
Dorian groaned, rubbing his blackened eyes.
“Are you okay?”
“It’s not okay. But I’m kind of used to it now.”
“Have you gotten used to it?”
“yes. When I stayed at our mall before, I practiced to the point of death.”
“What kind of training can die?”
“Tell them to climb the cliff, roll the rocks, or break the cliff itself.”
He said that he really thought he was going to the underworld, and sweat dripped from his forehead in this cool weather.
“Um… … .”
Mark Goetton, who was standing next to him, also closed his eyes as if he remembered that moment.
“Bye, how are you at the annex? Is that hell too?”
Burren looked at Yua and Julius, leaving behind Dorian and Tokai, who were trembling in fear.
“no! Please take good care of it! He does everything you ask him to do.”
The toddler raised his hand and shook his head.
“you’re right. In the annex, even if I take a break, he doesn’t say anything.”
Julius licked his lips as if he regretted it even more.
“But why are you becoming a mad dog here?”
Burren said it was difficult and shook his head.
“If you make a fuss today, you’ll be really tired.”
“Still, I felt a bit relieved yesterday, so today will be fine. I can go quietly… … .”
When Dorian smiled lightly, the gymnasium door opened and Raon entered.
oh oh oh!
He didn’t even kick the door like Rimer did, but because of the overbearing energy that emanated from Raon, the swordsmen at the windmill couldn’t take their eyes off him.
“Me, that guy. Do you feel terribly unwell? Is it really solved?”
Burren swallowed dryly as he tapped Dorian with his elbow.
“uh? That’s in a state of madness… Rain, emergency! Visaaaaaang!”
Dorian shouted an emergency and ran to the front of the podium. The other swordsmen also felt the dangerous atmosphere and quickly lined up in front of the podium.
“Uh ha ha… … bout!”
Rimmer, who was lying on the podium, yawned and jumped up when he saw Raon’s eyes burning brightly.
“He came… … No, are you here?”
Rimer tried to say honorifics without realizing it, but managed to keep his mouth shut with the pride of the lord.
“Lord. May I lead the prosecutors today?”
Raon looked at Rimer with fierce eyes as if there was no rejection.
“Yes, yes.”
Rimer nodded like a doll and stepped back.
“thank you.”
Raon politely bowed his head to Limer and stood in front of the podium.
“As you all know, this mission is a simple investigation. However, there is a possibility that a battle may occur due to a problem during the investigation, or a situation may arise in which we have no choice but to escape with our own strength, as before.”
He made eye contact with the swordsmen standing under the podium one after another and continued talking.
“That’s why from now until we get to Sinigan, I practice footwork with all my might. The only time to stop is to sleep.”
Raon’s cool yet low voice made the swordsmen’s shoulders tremble.
“what?”
“Ugh.”
“Hey, do you do that hell training again?”
“crazy… … .”
Gwangpungdae prosecutors muttered nonsense, but the moment they saw Raon’s dry gaze, they all shut up.
They looked at Rimmer with moist eyes, as if calling for help.

“Kuhm! Ra, Raon? Why don’t we do our training after finishing our mission… … .”
Rimer could not overcome the gaze of the swordsmen and had no choice but to come forward. The moment he was about to say that we should train later, Raon’s eyes flashed red.
“Didn’t you say that I would entrust you to you?”
“uh? that is… … .”
“In addition, Dae-ju said that life is training. is not it?”
“Ah, I did say that… … .”
He smiled awkwardly and went back to his place. Then he muttered only with the shape of his mouth.
‘I’m afraid of that bastard too!’
Raon confirmed that Limer had collapsed and looked down at the windmill again.
“All of these are measures to improve your skills, so I hope you understand.”
“Yes… .”
Gwangpungdae raised his voice as much as possible while holding back tears.
-It wasn’t the enemy who destroyed it, it was the subordinates… .
Lars applauded as if in admiration.
– After all, you are not a talented person to be here! Let’s go to the demon realm with the main king!
‘You go.’
-The main king can’t go even if he wants to!
* * *
Raon looked back while helping Yua and Julius to run faster.
“Huh uh uh!”
“Ji, it really doesn’t stop… … .”
“… I think I will die.”
The Gwangpungdae swordsmen sighed as they ran across the frozen lake. It was only natural that the forced march, which started at dawn, continued beyond noon until the end of the evening.
“Are you really not going to eat?”
“That madman… … .”
“I can’t respect Raon today.”
Burren, Martha, and Runan weren’t even rank swordsmen, but they were exhausted and gasping for breath.
Raon smiled and waved at the swordsmen behind him.
“Can I hold on?”
“Lord, I’m going to die.”
Dorian shook his head, wiping the sweat from his eyes.
“If you’re having a hard time, run and chew some beef jerky. You will be fine.”
Raon said to eat on his own and looked away.
“Ugh… … .”
“That devilish human… … .”
“That can only be done by you!”
“How can you eat beef jerky while running at this speed? I’ll bite your tongue!”
The swordsmen spat very small curses at the back of Raon’s head.
“Whoa… … .”
Rimer, who was running at the back, let out a sigh of relief.
“I’m glad I’m above him.”
Looking at the back of Raon’s head, he shook his head. If he had been in the position of a rank-and-file prosecutor, he would have beaten the windmill right away. I didn’t know that getting old would be this good.
‘Still, it’s not just hard training.’
Raon is not simply driving the gwangpungdae.
As he said, he had trained mainly in swordsmanship so far, so using the moving path to train footwork was a great training method to fill in the missing parts while saving time.
As Rimer looked at Raon and Gwangpungdae with a cool smile, a brisk wind rose from the sky.
As I raised my gaze, a blue hawk descended like lightning as if it had found its prey.
Whoa!
Rimmer stretched out his arm, not at all surprised. The hawk landed softly on his forearm, rapidly slowing down as if performing a trick in the air.
“A non-banquet hawk?”
Raon narrowed his eyes as he saw the falcon sitting on Rimer’s arm. It seemed that something had happened to Sinigan, seeing as the non-banquet contacted them less than a day after their departure.
“Hmm… … .”
After stroking the hawk’s head, Rimmer took a piece of paper from its leg and read it. His relaxed expression hardened in an instant.
“Is there a problem?”
Raon spat out the takgi that filled his lungs and approached Rimer.
“Read it yourself.”
I unfolded the paper Rimer threw. It was a simple line of news, but the content was incomparably heavy.
“Is the Shinnigan branch wiped out?”
The letter said that the Shinnegan branch had been completely annihilated, so go there as soon as possible.
“Annihilation?”
“Why all of a sudden?”
“Did the North and South Alliance attack?”
Even though it was a branch, they belonged to the same Sieghart, so bright yellow anger burned over the eyes of the swordsmen of the Gwangpungdae.
“Change the way.”
After Raon burned the book with heat, he stood in front of the windmill.
“From now on, slow down and focus on recovering your body and aura. Adjust it so that you can stay in the best condition whenever you fight.”
“yes!”
The Gwangpungdae swordsmen no longer chatted or complained. After answering sternly, he took his breath seriously as if he were going to fight.
Raon nodded his head broadly as if he liked the windmill and took the lead.
“There is no rest until you reach Shinigan. let’s go!”
* * *
A grotesque village where the ground cracked as if an earthquake had struck and blood filled the top.
Raon frowned as he saw that Sinigan Village, which means warmth itself, had turned into hell.
‘It wasn’t just the branch that collapsed.’
Not only the Sinigan branch was destroyed, but the town itself was destroyed.
There were no bodies to be seen, but there was no place where blood did not flow beyond the collapsed houses and walls. It was like seeing a battlefield.
“It’s boring… … .”
Burren’s eyes trembled as he looked at the blood-soaked well. Other prosecutors also bit their lips, unable to speak in a serious situation.
“after… … .”
Raon blew away the scent of blood with a sigh and walked inside.
People who seemed to have lost their families gathered around the village, but they were unable to enter because the fierce-eyed swordsmen blocked the road.
“What are those?”
Martha frowned at the swordsmen blocking her path.
“These are the swordsmen of the Rakion family.”
Raon narrowed his eyes as he looked at the patterns of red lions engraved on the chests of the swordsmen.
“This branch and the Rakion family aren’t that far apart. You must have come to support.”
To the east of the Sinigan branch is Rakion, a vassal family. As soon as they found out about the situation, they seemed to come running right away.
“Let’s go in.”
Raon gestured to Gwangpungdae and entered the village.
“You are the people of the Gwangpungdae.”
As if the news came from the non-banquet, the swordsmen of the Rakion family bowed their heads after seeing the Sieghart pattern.
“What the hell happened?”
“We haven’t heard the exact information yet either. Come inside. I will guide you to the Lord.”
The swordsman raised his hand in a modest yet respectful manner.
Raon nodded and followed the prosecutor into the bombed-out branch. inside
There were many people, but the one that stood out the most was a middle-aged man with only one eye standing in the center. A huge energy was felt from him.
“Oh, you are here!”
A black-haired young man standing next to the middle-aged man came running with a teary face.
“Meet the Lord of Gwangpungdae! Ah, the Lord of the Storm Troops too!”
The black-haired young man bowed his head to Rimer and Raon in turn.
“My name is Geff, an informant for the Shinnigan branch!”
He bowed his head once more when he introduced himself as Geff.
“You are alive.”
Raon let out a sigh of relief. If everyone had died, the investigation would have taken time, but it was fortunate that at least one remained.
“What the hell happened?”
“To be honest, I don’t know either.”
Geff swallowed and shook his head.
“yes?”
“Following the branch manager’s order, I sent a letter to the Rakion family, but the branch was in this state.”
He trembled his fingertips, saying that he himself did not know the exact circumstances.
“Then this person… … .”
Raon turned his gaze and looked at the middle-aged man outside. He came to Geff’s side and bowed his head.
“I call it Bels of Rakion. It’s shameful that we can’t prevent this from happening when we’re close.”
He couldn’t lift his head as if he was really sorry.
‘Is it Bell’s Rakion?’
person who has heard of it. As a swordsman who had already occupied the position of successor to the Rakion family, he was a monster that no one around him could deal with.
“Even if you know something, please explain.”
Raon got the two of them up and said let’s sort things out first.
“I’m not sure, but it seems that the group that our branch thought were bandits was the White Blood Church.”
“The White Blood Church?”
Martha was the first to respond to Geff’s words. She came forward and she thrust her face into Geff.
“What are you talking about! Why is the White Blood Church suddenly appearing!”
“This is what I figured out by looking at the traces of this place.”
Geff shook his head vigorously and stepped back.
“This branch and all the villagers that make up the branch are gone, but only half of them remain!”
He kept talking until the end, even though his lips were trembling.
“Aside from that, there were many corpses that looked like they had been bitten to pieces or were brutally killed. Bae, it is almost identical to the bloody festival of the White Blood Church.”
“Keugh… … .”
Martha frowned at the collapsed branch buildings and villages.
Raon nodded his head slightly as he looked at the collapsed wall inside the office and the blood that gushed out like a fountain around it.
‘It’s a white blooded church… … .’
It could be.
After coming here and looking at the collapsed buildings and the splattered blood, I thought it might be an attack by the White Blood Church, not the North-South Alliance.
But to confirm that, we had to look at the remaining corpses.
“Can you see the bodies?”
“of course. Come this way.”
Geff nodded and walked out of the branch.
Raon patted Marta on the shoulder, who was shaking with anger, and followed Geff to the gymnasium outside the branch.
There was a black tent covering the floor, and judging from the slightly raised top, it seemed to cover the body.
When Raon sent his eyes, Crane and Dorian came forward and pulled up the tent.
“Ugh!”
“What is this… … .”
“Dog-like blood demons!”
The Gwangpungdae prosecutors bit their lips as they looked at the corpses covered by the tent.
There were many corpses that were severely damaged, making it difficult for prosecutors who had gone through many real battles to see. Some prosecutors turned their heads as if they couldn’t see.
Rather, Raon got closer and examined the corpse calmly.
‘It sure looks like the work of the White Blood Church.’
Few of the corpses were intact. It was common for flesh to be ripped off, and there were many corpses that looked like their limbs had been cut off, or their necks or backs had been pulled out.
It seemed like they had held a bloody festival where blood and flesh were ripped off to offer to the blood god.
Poududeuk!
He chewed his molars and inspected the nearest corpse.
It was the corpse of a young woman, her back split from a sharp cut, and her neck torn as if it had been bitten by a wolf.
He died without even closing his eyes, as if he was taken aback by the sudden attack.
Raon looked at the nape of the body and tilted his head. As he turned around and looked up at Geff and Bells, questions crept into his eyes.
“Is this body strange?”
