“That guy is dangerous.”

The blue robed man clenched his fist until it cracked as he looked at Raon.

‘A talent that makes him stronger as he fights…’

Such a talent was a rare occurrence even in the vast continent.
His hair stood on end, watching as that monster grew over the past three days of his trance.

“I told you.
I had a bad feeling the moment I saw him.”

The black robed man’s mouth twisted

“He shouldn’t be left alone.
Let’s kill him.”

Considering his speed of growth, and his personality that led him to risk his life for others, he wasn’t going to stay in Habun Castle forever.
He had a premonition that he would get in Eden’s way one day.

“That’s a matter for another time.”

The black robed man slowly shook his head.

“There are only two missions we have: the magic stone of the green king and the siren’s incarnation.
As you can see, he isn’t one of them.”

“We might have to fight him one day.
No, we will for sure.
The Six Kings are pretty much the only ones that can raise a guy like him!”

“But now is not the time.
Since our plan hasn’t been completely derailed yet, you shall keep following it, Voracious Ice Demon.”

“It’s about time you tell me what that great plan of yours is.
How long are you planning to keep it to yourself?”

The man called the Voracious Ice Demon gave the black robed man a death glare.

“I was about to tell you anyway.”

The black robed man took out a staff from his robe and pounded the ground.
At that moment, strange letters appeared and a huge ice troll emerged from the ground.

“Huh?”

The Voracious Ice Demon’s eyes widened upon seeing the troll.
It was bigger than a troll warrior, but its white fur meant that it hadn't finished growing yet.
It had a horn in the middle of its forehead, which doesn’t exist on a normal troll.

“N-no way! Is it a lord?”

“Yes.
An ice troll lord.
I brainwashed this guy, who was born in a valley at the upper part of Stallin Mountain.
I was lucky with the timing, since I would’ve been devoured if I was any slower.”

The black robed man nodded, looking at the ice troll lord.

“A lord inevitably gathers monsters around it and makes them obey.
Once Milland finds out about the lord’s appearance, he won’t be able to keep hiding anymore.
He’ll come out with the troops.
And that’s the moment…”

“We will attack.”

“Yes.
Since the castle walls have collapsed and countless soldiers have died, I’m sure he will attempt a surprise attack before the lord starts its all-out attack.
We will use that opportunity to take the green king’s magic stone and the siren’s incarnation.”

“I can understand why you came up with that plan.”

The Voracious Ice Demon nodded, looking at the ice troll lord with the unfocused eyes.

“By the way, did you say that you brought him from the valley at the upper part of the mountain?”

“Yes.”

“Then, what’s at the top of the mountain?”

“I couldn’t go there because I was too scared.”

“What?”

“All my senses were screaming at me, telling me to never climb there.
What exists there must surpass our imagination.”

A drop of sweat flowed down the black robed man’s cheek.

“Hmph, what a coward.
I’ll personally climb there to confirm once we are done with this mission.”

“I don’t care whether you decide to die or not after the plan, but follow the plan for now.”

“You don’t need to tell me that.”

Voracious Ice Demon snorted and shrugged his shoulders.

“But it’s a shame, I wanted to kill that guy earlier.”

“The plan takes priority, but…”

The black robed man narrowed his eyes, looking at the castle wall Raon managed to defend until the end.

“It wouldn’t be a bad idea to kill him if we get an opportunity.”

“Hmm…”

Raon opened his eyes.
An old and familiar ceiling… He was in the scouts’ scout's quarters.

“How long have I been sleeping?”

He remembered swinging his sword while maintaining his senses to the extreme, but what happened afterwards was blank.
The last thing he remembered was the golden sunlight.

Three days.

The answer came from Wrath inside the flower bracelet.
His voice was as cold as the northern wind.

‘Was I asleep for that long?”

……

Wrath creeped up and shoved his blue face against him without saying anything.
He was glaring at him with his eyes boiling in anger.

You.
I saw that you tricked the King of Essence once again.

“Huh? What?”

Raon leaned his body back.
He couldn’t tell what he was talking about, as he had tricked him too many times.

You tempted the King of Essence with pineapple and took the information about Glacier! You shameless and dirty human!

“Ah…”

Raon understood why he was so angry.

You used food to shift the bet in your favor.
Do you have any conscience?

A demon king talking about conscience was quite fresh and new.

I told you before that there’s a saying ‘You don’t bother a Cerberus when they are eating’.
Someone as evil as you doesn’t even exist in Devild…

“Ah, wait a moment.”

Raon raised his hand before he finished talking.

“The bet is still not over, why are you angry already?”

It’s over.

“What?”

The bet is already over, with your victory!

Wrath’s frost exploded like a bomb.
The icy anger engulfed the entire room.

“It’s over?”

Raon’s jaw dropped.
He softly shook off Wrath’s frost and checked his messages.

 

[You’ve displayed an overwhelming might.]

 

[All stats have increased by 3.]

 

“3 points?”

The stats inevitably increased slower the higher they were.
The fact that he got 3 points in all stats was an unexpected level of reward.

 

[You’ve maintained an extreme focus.

Trait has been created.]

 

A new trait on top of that?

 

[Focus (One-Star)

It takes less time to enter a focused state, and the focused state can be maintained for a longer duration.]

 

“Wow…”

It didn’t look like much, but it was an amazing trait that would be helpful for both battles and training.
He could probably enter that extremely focused state he’d gotten to during the castle defense once it grew enough.

Keuh…

Wrath trembled like a volcano nearing its eruption.
Raon licked his lips and read the last message.

 

[‘Glacier’ has been acquired.]

‘Water Resistance’ has reached five-stars.]

 

“Huh?”

Raon’s eyes widened upon reading that last message.

‘I acquired Glacier?’

When did that happen?

He knew that his swordsmanship, aura, and senses had grown a lot, but he didn’t even imagine he would acquire Glacier like that.

‘And Water Resistance has also increased.’

Water Resistance had reached five-stars, probably thanks to constantly using the frost.

Did you finally realize the reason the King of Essence is angry?

Wrath’s ice started to condense into a sphere, like a puffer fish puffing up.

You tried to win the bet by using the King of Essence’s only weakness! Are you a devil or something?

Being called devil by the king of devils was also pretty refreshing.

The King of Essence won’t admit it! This bet was wrong from the beginning! The King of Essence will never hand over the reward, even if my life depends on it!

“Hmm, I guess I’ll try.”

What are you talking about? The King of Essence is never going to yield!

“Apple meat pie.”

What? Wh-Why are you saying that right no…

“Apple meat pie and a pineapple pizza.”

……

Wrath didn’t respond.
However, that was enough for Raon to realize he was wavering.

“Apple meat pie, pineapple pizza, and a pineapple cookie.”

……

He is still not yielding.

There was still no answer.

‘I guess food won’t work anymore.’

Raon thought that it was only natural that a demon king wouldn’t sell his pride over and over for food.

He nodded, about to offer another deal.

 

[You’ve won the bet against ‘Wrath’.]

 

Ahem!

Wrath’s body shrunk like a deflated balloon.
He turned his face away in embarrassment.

Apparently, he wasn’t answering him in refusal, but because he was in the middle of accepting the results of the bet.

“Huh…”

He wouldn’t even if his life depended on it, but the pie, pizza, and a cookie managed to convince him.

It was easy.

It was so easy that it was scary.

However, there was something that neither Raon nor Wrath were aware of.

 

[All stats have increased by 4.]

 

[You’ve achieved your fifth victory against Wrath.

An additional reward has been created from the effect of the fifth consecutive victory.]
