Chapter 626 – Lovely Adversary -2-

Roman knew who he was and what he was doing.

I struggled to find the answer in my foggy consciousness.

Exciting! Exciting! Exciting!

‘Noisy…’

It’s the feeling of her heart being in her head, just like when she ran at full speed.

The beating that resonates throughout my body doesn’t stop.

Roman’s spirit is floating in an unknown space.

Even though my body is outside and completely destroyed, I am intoxicated with satisfaction.

She was just happy with a sense of complete fulfillment.

Exciting! Exciting! Exciting!

The intense pulsation prevents one from losing consciousness.

Since I can’t fall asleep, I force myself to continue thinking about her.

‘For what am I…?’

Why am I feeling happy?

I don’t know where this brilliant joy comes from.

My mental head is like a tangle of threads caused by a cat’s play.

‘···.’

I was confused.

The jumbled, and disorderly consciousness did not easily allow for discernment.

That’s why Roman wanted to know.

Who gave me this happiness, who brought sweet rain to my drying soul?

Just that thought.

Roman ignored the internal organs and blood flowing out between his lips.

I lifted my heavy head and looked ahead with blurry eyes.

‘Oh, that’s right.’

A Dokgorin holding a sword is seen. It’s still solid.

The cloudy consciousness becomes slightly clear.

‘Lin…’

My beloved understanding, a flower that no one can pluck.

How can you give me sweet rain?

Nevertheless.

I couldn’t repay the favor. I was ugly and satisfied with myself.

My situation was pathetic.

Would I have been treated as a bit of joy to Rin, rather than someone who gives satisfaction?

Maybe not even that.

Exciting! Exciting! Exciting!

I can’t give up. I desperately hope and want.

I want to let you know.

This refreshing feeling that has poured all the way to the floor and is empty.

I just want you to know.

The moisture of sweet rain that others give to my heart.

I hope you understand.

What I want to show you.

You must fall this time.

Only then will you be able to abandon your lonely position and seek help.

‘If you say so.’

You’ll tick and ask why you need to know such things.

My answer is still the same.

Because I love you.

So I hope you find new happiness through me.

Even if it is my greed.

··

··

‘···.’

Rin held the sword tightly.

As Roman’s heartbeat stopped, the air current changed.

“Ha…

Roman, with a dry voice, moves.

He squirms and gets up from his seat. Her weakened hands loosely hold Rakshasa and Gleipnir.

Dokgorin narrowed his eyes at that action.

No matter who sees Roman, he is defenseless and unable to control his body.

Should I rush? Is this a chance to wrap things up?

Rin wondered if she should go against her alarming intuition, but she quickly shook her head.

‘I’m waiting.’

Dokgo Rin took her stance.

No matter what attack comes, I will fight back. I will defend myself with the martial arts that has been imprinted in my soul for the rest of my life.

“Lin…”

Eyes are still downward. A voice that seems to be muttering quietly.

Dokgorin did not answer.

The blood flowing from Roman dripped.

She stopped.

The sword marks on her body no longer caused bleeding.

Roman lifted her head.

I looked at Rin and smiled blandly, as if I was sorry.

“I also can’t give up.”

“···!”

How many seconds did it take to understand the situation?

Dokgorin understood what Roman did. She let out her breath as the emotions boiled inside her.

“Ha, haha!!!”

Dokgorin’s mouth opened and light poured out.

Roman raised the corner of his mouth, half entranced.

“Rin. You’re pretty when you smile.”

“Hehe… My heart is heavy as I head to this throne.”

After saying that there was nothing he could do, Roman slowly took a stance.

Dokgo-rin felt a force that could not even be compared to before and smiled.

‘I guess that means he cut off the ‘wound’ with that strange slash.’

No matter how transcendental he is, what an irrational power this is.

I don’t know how far my hand can stretch, but as it develops, it becomes omnipotent.

“Heh, are you planning to make me wait? Come in quickly.”

She is feeling it.

At this moment, Roman became a unique person to Dokgorin.

There is no other enemy in the world.

Roman finished flowering by quenching his thirst.

He faced Dokgorin on an equal footing and became a lovable and threatening opponent.

··

··

Paaaaang───!!!

Their images are shattered by an internal conflict, and the two-step into an empty world.

The slash wielded by the two transcendents tore apart the mountains and fields, fragments of images were flying, and a vast amount of mana was scattered in the air.

A cliff created by a single blow, a splitting current, a terrain that changes as a cut mountain collapses, and a land that turns over.

All things began to record the sparring between Roman and Dokgorin.

[White Moon Sangcham (白月霜斬)]

Damn it! Pure white frost spread out around Dokgorin.

Slashes rained down from all directions.

Roman stood and created a round sphere.

[Hyeonnoeok(伭雷玉)]

Flashing and conflicting dark red light.

It is not at all pushed by Dokgorin’s frosty wind.

One hour.

Three hours.

Six hours.

Beads of sweat flew down Dokgorin’s bangs as he exchanged attacks with Roman.

Breathing is getting rough.

Rin’s innocent smile became even darker without her realizing it.

However.

A dream-like time must have an end.

No matter how happy the dream is, you have to wake up and move forward.

Roman used the mana he had scraped to the ground to deliver a powerful slash to his consciousness.

Dokgo Rin, protecting her mind her, dug through the slight slowdown and grabbed her sleeve her.

Whoa!

Dokgorin was amazed at how his vision spun in an instant.

‘Take over here!?’

Movements as natural as water, aren’t you really talented?

Kwaang!!!

A crushing blow that devastates the earth.

At least, unless it is a direct attack from the Transcendant, there will be no damage to Rin.

Rumbling───!!!

Roman, who took the top spot as a lightning strike, raised his Rakshasa sword with his fierce eyes.

“Rin. Let’s finish.”

Without hesitation, Dokgo Rin aimed for the heart and threw out her sword.

Phew!

Lin’s beloved sword, Damro, penetrated Roman’s shoulder and spread negative energy.

Ting!

Roman’s rakshasa hit the ground right next to Dokgo-rin’s neck.

“···!”

Dokgo Rin’s eyes lit up when she turned her head and saw the Rakshasa.

So she bit her lip tightly.

Because I know that Roman intentionally let it go astray.

“You idiot…! Why didn’t you stab me? Was that an insult to me?”

“It’s not an insult, I said it from the beginning. It’s a sparring.”

Roman stood up, pulling out the sword from his shoulder.

The summoning of the Rakshasa stuck on the floor was cancelled, signaling the end of the battle.

“···.”

However, Dokgorin lay down and did not move for a long time.

He doesn’t wake up and has a really complicated face.

He seems angry, but at the same time he looks refreshed.

“Lin.”

“···.”

Her head moves when her name is called. A new look comes in.

Roman liked Dokgorin’s unique cold attitude.

After standing and tending to her wounds, Roman stretched out his hand and helped Dokgo Rin up.

Fortunately, he didn’t reject her touch.

“You remember your promise, right?”

“Tsk…!”

─ If you lose in sparring, become my woman.

I know.

However, it did not come out of Dokgorin’s mouth. She couldn’t even nod her head saying she knew.

She couldn’t refuse Roman’s hand that gently wrapped around her waist.

She couldn’t even punch Roman in the face as he came closer to her.

“Now, wait… Just wait a minute!”

Rin throws out a word in her struggle.

She stiffened as Roman approached her without stopping and closed her eyes tightly.

Could it be that such a thing is happening to me like this?

The scenes I saw in my mind come back to me.

Side!

A soft feel on the cheek.

Dokgo Rin looked at Roman, who looked satisfied with her confused eyes.

Roman, who received attention, answered the question.

“This is what happened, but I don’t want to force the outcome.”

“Well, what do you mean by that again…?”

“Being a couple like this is not my style. I don’t think the words I love you will be sincere.”

“···.”

“Still, please understand about the cheek kiss. I held it in as long as I could.”

“···.”

Dokgorin’s gaze was directed to the floor.

What is stirring in her heart is an emotion that is difficult to describe.

Roman holds Dokgorin’s hand, who is avoiding his gaze.

I gave her the ring and smiled.

“I’ll wait for your answer.”

Roman’s gesture of dropping his hands from his waist and showing his back as if he had no regrets.

Dokgorin was embarrassed and raised his voice without realizing it.

“Uh, where are you going…?”

“Me?”

“···.”

Roman looked really refreshed and happy.

And she opened the dimension with her signature sly smile.

“I’m just going to lie down and do something bad.”

Roman has no hunger. But I wanted to eat the food the ladies cooked.

She wanted to lie down in bed, hug her women, and sleep.

I want to listen to the women chattering while soaking in the bath.

And.

I wanted to spend the intimate time I had promised with the goddess. I wanted to hear her true name quickly and fully develop the relationship.

A future worth looking forward to after all the hard work.

Roman looked behind her for one last time, just before she set foot in a time of happiness she could only imagine.

“Rin. Think carefully before answering.”

With those words in the end.

Roman disappeared in front of Dokgorin.

Rin stood there in a daze, trying to figure out what was going on.

I quietly looked at her sparkling ring on my own palm.
