Raon curled his lips as he looked at Derus Robert, who was frowning in disbelief.
'As expected, he didn't think I would chase him this far.'
If it were the usual Derus Robert, even after suffering great losses in Heaven, he would have pulled himself together and tried to show a composed appearance somehow. No, even if he had no leisure, he would have pretended to be leisurely.
But this time, as if truly completely beyond his predictions, Derus Robert was glaring at him with bloodshot eyes bulging with veins. If Glenn hadn't been beside him, it felt like his flesh would have been torn away by the man's killing intent.
-Of course he'd be furious!
Wrath let out a hollow laugh as if it were absurd.
-A single thief not only ruined plans he had prepared for a long time, but eventually chased him to his innermost sanctuary, so if this king were him, I would have burst from anger and died!
The guy trembled all over as if projecting his own emotions onto Derus.
-However, seeing that sinister bastard in such a state makes me feel refreshed!
Wrath said he had been feeling hot lately, but seeing Derus's distorted face made him feel better and grinned wickedly.
'But...'
Raon narrowed his eyes as he looked at Derus Robert and the area around the platform.
'There aren't many people here either.'
Unlike by the door, there were Martial Artists who looked strong and wore masks guarding the area, but their numbers were only a few. The elites raised for war seemed to have already been sent elsewhere.
"Derus Robert."
Glenn approached Raon's side and calmly raised his chin.
"You said we would meet in a year, but here we are meeting like this."
He threw a sneer at Derus while lightly rotating his wrist.
"This is the first time I've seen you with such an expression. It wasn't even this bad when your identity was exposed."
Glenn twisted his lips as he watched Derus's complexion turn yellow with pallor.
"Come to think of it, it was my grandson who exposed your identity too. We fell for your schemes, but they don't seem to work on my grandson."
He consecutively mocked Derus Robert as if trying to apply psychological pressure.
"……."
Derus Robert didn't respond to Glenn's taunts and bit his lips with dark veins bulging on the back of his hands.
"Where do you keep trying to go?"
Raon looked up at Derus Robert standing on the platform and wiggled his finger.
"This is the war you wanted. What are you so afraid of that you're running away?"
He lowered his chin, saying not to run away and to properly finish things here.
"No, in a way, it's also fitting for a schemer who was too scared to even reveal his own name and hid by clinging to the shadow of the Six Kings."
Raon said it was typical of Derus Robert and waved his hand dismissively as if mocking him.
"Haaa..."
Derus Robert let out a deep sigh with his eyes downcast, and so many emotions were contained in it that it felt like this huge cavern was shaking.
"When did you figure out this place?"
He frowned as if he still couldn't understand this situation.
"From the beginning."
Raon calmly waved his hand.
"I knew about this place from the beginning. No, I should say this was the starting point."
He waved his hand, saying that discovering this bizarre place allowed him to infiltrate Heaven.
"Ha! So that's how it was!"
Derus Robert let out a creepy laugh like a beast, baring his white teeth as if all the puzzle pieces of the situation had finally come together.
"It wasn't just that I was fooled, I was playing in the palm of your hand."
He placed his hand on his temple and let out an empty breath as if it were absurd.
"Well?"
Raon shrugged his shoulders, letting Derus Robert think whatever he wanted.
"You're a damn annoying bastard to the end! Raon!"
Derus Robert ground his teeth coldly and slightly bent his waist. It was a sight never seen from him, who always maintained proper posture and expression.
"It's nice to see you showing your true self too."
Raon smiled faintly as he looked at Derus Robert's bright yellow eyes.
"Drop the fake respectful speech and smiles. That suits you best."
He rotated his finger, saying that growling like a hungry beast was much better.
"So..."
Derus Robert swept up the hair that had fallen on his forehead and let out a low breath.
"What will you do now?"
He narrowed his eyes as if asking what they would do after tracking him down.
"What else, of course I'll kill you..."
"By yourself?"
Derus Robert interrupted Raon's words and stood at the edge of the platform.
"No matter how strong you've become, you can't reach me."
He flicked his finger downward as if mocking Raon's Martial Prowess.
"You can't do anything by yourself..."
"Right. I can't do anything by myself."
Raon interrupted Derus's words in turn and acknowledged his own incompetence.
"This matter too would have been absolutely impossible to accomplish if others hadn't helped."
The Black Market and Shadow Agents gathered information, Evelyn personally went around those places to find where Barriers were set up, and various Magicians combined their power to develop dimensional magic that could pierce through Divine power.
Zieghart's Swordsmen also continued Cultivation to improve their skills, so they could subdue Heaven and the Land of Clouds without major losses. It seemed like he had done many things in between, but without them, he couldn't have accomplished anything.
"Hmm..."
Derus Robert deeply frowned with one eye as if he hadn't expected him to immediately acknowledge his mockery.
"So you're going to get help this time too."
Raon stepped slightly aside to allow Glenn to come forward.
"The continent's strongest is my grandfather, so I can't not receive his help, right?"
He openly said he would use Glenn's power and nodded his head.
"Kuhum!"
Glenn seemed pleased by Raon's sudden praise and coughed while his cheeks turned red.
-Anyway, that devoted fool even here...
Wrath sighed as if tired of it now.
"Kuh, kuhahahaha!"
Derus Robert burst into mad laughter while clutching his forehead.
"Right. Your grandfather, the Destructive King of the North Glenn Zieghart, is strong. I can't defeat him yet either. But..."
He grinned and drew the sword from his waist.
"For that old man to kill me, he'd have to risk his life. No, even if he doesn't die, he'll have no choice but to leave this world!"
Derus Robert snorted as if even Glenn couldn't defeat him without using his full power.
"Ascension. Those whose Martial Prowess reaches the heavens must eventually leave this world and ascend to new lands. That monster has also finished preparing to ascend to the heavens. No, he should have ascended long ago, but he's forcibly enduring because of you people."
He tapped his forehead, saying Glenn should have already left this land.
"For your grandfather to face me, he'd have to release his power restrictions, and then he'd inevitably be unable to escape heaven's net."
Derus Robert raised his finger, saying that if Glenn fought him, he would have to leave this continent.
"Are you saying you'll kill me even if it means sacrificing your grandfather? Yes. That's just like Raon!"
He giggled while emphasizing the name Raon rather than Raon Zieghart.
"I'll also endure with full power. I absolutely won't die until Glenn Zieghart ascends..."
"Who said grandfather would go alone?"
Raon stood slightly behind Glenn while gripping his Divine Sword and Demonic Sword more tightly.
"I'll protect grandfather from behind. Then grandfather should be able to kill you without revealing his full power."
He made a confident gesture with his chin and resonated his ten rings. Like when he killed Raphael, time seemed to slow as if fractured, and he began to feel the Aura of the entire world.
"Are you serious?"
Derus Robert folded his fingers as if he couldn't understand.
"Not only the continent's strongest, but his grandson will die too?"
He tensed his fingertips gripping the sword, saying that if they fought carelessly, both Glenn and Raon would die to him.
"There's no parent who can beat their child. Grandfathers has no choice but to lose to their grandson too."
Glenn calmly nodded as if he would follow Raon's words exactly.
"Grandfather and grandson have both gone mad."
Derus seemed to have his pride hurt by Raon saying he would fight directly and chewed his lips repeatedly.
"Good. I'll clearly show you how stupid a decision you've made!"
He came down from the platform with his sword wrapped in pitch-black darkness, saying he would kill both Raon and Glenn together.
"Be careful."
Glenn slightly lowered his waist and raised Heavenly Tremor.
"That's not simple aura, it's death aura."
He slightly lowered his chin, saying it was a terrifying power that would tear souls apart and rot flesh just by touching it.
"Yes. I know."
Raon answered calmly and slowly exhaled.
'I know it better than anyone.'
He had the characteristic of blocking and cutting death aura, so if he prepared well, he could actually endure it better.
Derus Robert immediately came down, crushing the platform as if he wouldn't talk anymore, and struck down with his blackened sword. His blade stretched like taffy, drawing a black line that would destroy heaven and earth.
"Don't block it, dodge."
Hearing Glenn's shout, he stepped with Supreme Harmony Steps. Using the softness of Supreme Harmony's Third Step, he dodged Derus Robert's fierce stabbing assault and then deployed Azure Sky Sword. Glenn, as if matching his timing, similarly dodged Derus's sword with Supreme Harmony's Third Step and then deployed Azure Sky Sword.
However, the Azure Sky Sword techniques each chose were different.
Raon’s swordsmanship was the Azure Sky Drive that shattered the heavens, and Glenn’s swordsmanship was the Azure Sky Drive that revered and contained the high heavens. (E/N: Yup, I don't understand)
"Hmph!"
Derus Robert snorted as if trying to block the visible Azure Sky Sword techniques and thrust his blackly blazing sword. Following the sword energy he shot out, black flames rotated to create a massive waterspout.
Derus Robert revealed tremendous Martial Prowess that even Transcendents would be swept away by, as if he would kill both Glenn and Raon right here as he initially said.
"Hmm..."
Raon frowned as he was pushed back by Derus Robert's sinister aura that shook even his ten rings, forcing himself to put strength into his sword.
"No need to retreat."
Glenn stood in front of Raon with a warm smile.
"This time I'll protect you."
With his low voice, Heavenly Tremor extended. Azure Sky Drive containing the high and straight heavens split the blackly blazing waterspout in half like erasing dark clouds.
"Go."
"Yes!"
Without looking back, Raon moved forward and tilted the Divine Sword and Demonic Sword towards the ground. The aura dwelling in the two swords that cut through the earth and rose up was the will to shatter the heavens. The ultimate technique of the Azure Sky Sword, the Azure Sky Drive, advanced, one using its full flow.
"Damn it!"
Derus Robert tried to strike down with the sword he had pulled to the right, but the speed of this Azure Sky Drive was terrifyingly fast. The martial arts of grandfather and grandson who learned the same footwork and the same swordsmanship pierced through the chest of the demon cloaked in death.
