This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
“Huff…”Raon exhaled a blood-tinged breath and stared at the Black Tower Lord, now frozen in pink frost.
‘As expected, he’s still alive.’
Though his body had been severed into four pieces and his heart had burst, the Black Tower Lord still clung to a faint trace of life, likely due to the [Dark Spirit World] still being active.
-Just as you said, he really is like a worm.
Wrath let out a breath, dumbfounded.
-Even when you step on him, he just keeps wriggling.
He scrunched his brow, saying even in Devildom, such persistent demons were rare.
‘That’s why I froze him.’
Raon bit his lip as he lowered his hand, from which the pink frost had spread.
‘Cutting him down won’t be enough to kill him.’
Even after having his neck and heart ripped out by Chamber’s magic, the Black Tower Lord returned.
Knowing that severing vital points wouldn’t be enough, he had frozen him with [White Silver Aurora].
-Using this king’s [White Silver Aurora] through [Lust] is quite irritating, but…
Wrath nodded, looking at the Black Tower Lord sealed in pink ice.
-Lust is still a Demon King. That worm has no means to recover, so he’ll stay imprisoned like that.
He added that the pink frost blocked all external energy, essentially sealing the Black Tower Lord.
‘No. I don’t intend to seal him.’
Raon shook his head resolutely.
‘I’m going to kill him.’
Even if the Black Tower Lord couldn’t escape on his own, someone else might break the ice from the outside. He refused to let the monster get free.
‘For her sake, too.’
Though Roen claimed he would somehow save Rensia, Raon already knew the result.
A magical explosion had occurred inside the body of an ordinary girl. Without divine or demonic intervention, survival was impossible.
He remembered Rensia’s final words—asking him to take care of her siblings—and her genuine smile for the first time.
That alone made him determined to kill the Black Tower Lord, the root cause of it all.
“Haaah…”
Raon placed his hand atop the pink frost encasing the Black Tower Lord.
He ignited the flames of [Ten Thousand Flames Cultivation] and summoned Wrath’s [Wrath] from deep within.
His vision blurred as if his energy center had shattered, but he bit his tongue and harmonized the flames and fury.
‘I’ll burn everything.’
Wrath’s frost had the power to freeze not only the body, but energy and soul. He had to erase everything frozen all at once.
Fwoooosh!
From the searing pain in his mind, he dismantled [White Silver Aurora] and reconstructed it into a new art that could kill the Black Tower Lord.
‘I’ll wrap an inescapable chain of death around your neck.’
He resonated the [Ring of Fire] and opened his trembling mental world.
[Raon Zieghart Swordsmanship – Final Form: Chains of Crimson Lotus]
From his upright hand, dozens of flame chains burst forth and wrapped around the frozen Black Tower Lord.
In a single moment, the fire chains encircled him and began to burn his very existence.
“W-What is this?!”
As soon as the ice melted, the Black Tower Lord tried to use teleportation magic, but the blazing flames burned away both his demonic energy and spells.
“Aaaaaargh!”
The flame chains became an inescapable prison, melting his flesh and bone. His shrieking echoed within the crimson inferno.
“S-Stop!”
In agony from the frost and fire, the Black Tower Lord screamed for mercy.
“I’ll tell you everything I know about the Five Demons. Just let me out!”
He pounded against the chains, offering secrets in exchange for his life.
“Have you ever spared even one person who begged you for their life?”
Raon looked down at him with eyes filled with chilling calm.
“Guh…”
The Black Tower Lord quivered, lips pale, unable to respond.
“I don’t need your information. Just die.”
“W-Wait—”
Ignoring the man’s plea, Raon clenched his fist over the [Chains of Crimson Lotus].
Boom!
The flames tightened in an instant, crushing the Black Tower Lord’s body and soul alike.
Kuwaaaaaang!
The super-condensed flames exploded, incinerating the Black Tower Lord and his demonic energy without even leaving embers.
Even the faint wind carried no trace of his presence. His body and soul had truly vanished.
[It’s over. His presence has been completely erased.]
Zircon nodded, gazing at the scorched sky.
[My choice was the right one after all.]
He nodded again, as if to reaffirm that choosing Raon over the Black Tower Lord had been the correct decision.
-Why are you stealing this king’s lines!
Wrath furrowed his brow and smacked Zircon on the head.
[Augh…]
Zircon’s tearful face crumpled before he’d even held his serious expression for one second.
-Ahem!
Wrath crossed his arms slowly as he looked at the slumped Zircon.
-It’s over. That worm’s presence has truly disappeared!
He recited the same lines as Zircon with a smug nod.
‘It’s really over… right?’
-It is. This time, he’s definitely dead.
Wrath smacked his lips, saying that freezing his soul and magic with [White Silver Aurora] and binding him with the flame chains had worked perfectly.
“Thank goodness…”
Raon let his arms hang as he exhaled a breath so heavy it seemed like it would stop any second.
As the tension drained, the [Heavenly Drive], [Acron], and [Soul Requiem Sword], suspended through [Sword Control], clattered to the ground.
‘I really was at my limit…’
Mentally and physically, he’d been teetering at the edge. If the Black Tower Lord had survived that last strike, it would’ve been Raon who died.
‘I guess I was just lucky… huh?’
As he blinked, a pale green gem appeared above his head. It looked like an emerald but slightly different.
[That’s Peridot. It must’ve returned to its original form when that human died.]
Zircon nodded, saying the angel had reverted to her birthstone.
“Hm.”
When Raon raised his hand, Peridot floated gently down into his palm.
“Lady Chamber.”
Turning around to update Chamber, he saw her still standing with two fingers pressed together, aiming at him.
“It’s over. You can release your power now.”
“…Over?”
At those words, Chamber closed her eyes and immediately collapsed. She had exhausted all of her strength and mental energy and couldn’t remain conscious.
“Lady Chamber!”
Raon, dragging energy from his aching energy center, caught her as she fell.
Her appearance began reverting to that of a young girl—but without power and mana, her skin cracked, and wrinkles of an old woman formed.
‘She pushed herself this far…’
The last time he’d seen her, she wasn’t even in a condition to use a final spell. But to create a final opportunity, she had torn through the meteors and erased the Black Tower Lord’s last attack.
Without her, victory would’ve been impossible.
‘Please…’
Raon transferred the last of his remaining energy into her body, hoping she’d hold on.
Thud!
He nearly collapsed, barely landing as his knees buckled. Out of strength, he left deep footprints in the ground as he staggered backward.
“Olga!”
Cradling Chamber, he called out to the saintess among the united forces.
“Ah!”
Olga had been standing blankly, still unable to accept that the Black Tower Lord had been defeated. She rushed over and examined Chamber.
“…Will she be okay?”
The weak pulse made her heart ache like it was being stabbed. Remembering Rimmer’s death, her hands trembled.
“She’s in grave danger. But I’ll try my best.”
Placing a glowing golden hand on Chamber’s chest, she nodded with determination.
“You should step back. Even in this situation, she wouldn’t want to be seen like this.”
She tilted her chin, not wanting anyone to witness Chamber’s aged appearance.
“Right…”
Raon nodded briefly and stepped back. She was probably right—Chamber wouldn’t want anyone seeing her in this state. And Raon had done all he could for now.
‘No, there’s one more thing.’
Raon wiped the blood from his lips and bowed to Chamber.
‘Thank you. Thanks to you—no, because it was the two of us—we defeated the Black Tower Lord.’
He’d have to repeat it once she woke, but for now, he wanted to express his heartfelt gratitude.
Raon continued bowing deeply to the unconscious Chamber for a long while.
—
“Haaah…”
Karoon let out a breath as he watched Raon bow toward Chamber.
‘Did he really do it…?’
Raon defeated the Black Tower Lord?
Honestly, ever since the [Dark Spirit World] was unleashed, Karoon thought they were at a disadvantage. And when the man returned empowered by the angel Peridot, he’d believed defeat was imminent.
But Raon and Chamber had never given up. Even in the face of overwhelming odds, they had kept fighting until the very end—and won.
He couldn’t believe it even though he saw it with his own eyes.
‘Could I have done that?’
No. Definitely not.
Even if he were in Raon’s shoes, he couldn’t have fought like that. Just watching Raon burn his body and soul against the Black Tower Lord gave him chills.
‘There’s no other word for it but incredible.’
Raon’s power wasn’t permanent. It was fleeting. Once he left this land, Karoon would likely still be stronger.
And yet… Karoon didn’t think he could fight the way Raon just had. That kind of battle was one only Raon Zieghart could wage.
‘But maybe I’ve changed a little too.’
In the past, he would’ve been filled with jealousy and resentment at Raon’s success. But now, for some reason, he only felt grateful and proud.
‘Family head…’
Becoming the head of House Zieghart had always been his lifelong dream. Even if Glenn regained his youth, he’d never willingly hand it over.
Even now, he had no intention of giving up that dream.
But for the first time today, he felt like… maybe he could accept someone else in that position.
Slash!
Karoon beheaded the remaining demons and lifted his chin.
“Clear out the demons as quickly as possible.”
He glanced at Raon, who had his eyes closed, recovering his energy.
“We need to welcome today’s heroes.”
—
“Raon did it…”
Burren chuckled in disbelief as he watched Raon standing before the Gate to the Devildom.
“He actually took down the Black Tower Lord!”
Even though it was a 2-on-1 fight, he never imagined Raon would completely erase the man.
He’d prayed for it—but now that it actually happened, it felt surreal.
“You didn’t believe in Raon?”
Martha bumped his shoulder and shook her head.
“I was expecting this from the start.”
She clenched her bloodied fist while watching Raon.
“Me too…”
Runaan nodded calmly, saying she had believed in Raon until the end.
“I knew Raon the Super-Handsome would pull through today…”
She smiled faintly at Raon standing alone at the edge of the battlefield.
“He truly never betrays our trust.”
Mark Gorton placed a hand on his chest and nodded solemnly.
“Lord Raon!”
“Palace Lord!”
“Uwaaaaaah!”
Dorian, Krein, and the swordsmen of Light Wind Palace slashed down the fleeing demons and rushed toward Raon. Tears welled in their eyes as they smiled and called his name.
“Sir… is it finally over?”
Yua clung to Raon’s torn sleeve and looked up at him.
“No…”
Raon shook his head as he looked up at the Gate.
“There’s one step left.”
Though the Black Tower Lord was dead, the gate still hadn’t been fully closed.
Only by destroying it would this war truly end.
“Just wait a little longer.”
Raon patted Yua’s head and launched himself back into the sky.
Paaang!
He soared to the heavens and reached the frozen Gate to the Devildom.
Originally, it should’ve sealed shut under Wrath’s frost, but due to the Black Tower Lord’s demonic energy, the crack had widened instead.
‘This is the end.’
Once he closed this gate, the hellish war would be over.
Though drained of all strength, he couldn’t stop now.
Vmmmm…
He wrapped the last of [Glacier]’s frost around the [Heavenly Drive] and summoned Wrath’s fury from deep within his soul.
‘I must endure.’
Despite his physical and mental limits, he drew out his last strength and brought the blade down.
Craaaack!
More than half the gate had already frozen, so there wasn’t much left to cut.
But the gate spewed demonic energy like a final death throe, trying to stop his sword.
“Just die already.”
Raon clenched his teeth and forced more power into the blade.
Craaaack!
The demonic energy recoiled in fear, and the gate began freezing solid once more.
As he prepared to unleash his final burst of power—
From a small crack, a copper-colored arm shot out.
‘A demon?’
He tried to slice it along with the gate, but his sword bounced off the demon’s copper-toned skin.
Craack!
The hand burst through the frost and gripped the gate, tearing it apart by force.
Kuwaaaaaah!
The Gate to the Devildom reopened, and a storm of terrifying demonic energy erupted.
At its golden-lit core stood a young man with black hair and a monocle.
“You really went all out, didn’t you?”
The moment Raon saw that chilling smile, his heart sank.
“You’re…”
