As if Raon wasn't aware of the mysterious phenomenon, he didn't open his eyes until the sun set under the western mountain.

Raon, who looked like he had become a stone statue, finally started changing when the moon started rising.

The red haze shimmering on his shoulders became a red flame, and the steam coming from his skin pores became frost.

Sparkle!

The moment the flame and the frost collided with each other and created a spark.

Raon opened his eyes. His red eyes looked like they were struck by lightning as they pierced through the dark night.

He clenched his fist and breathed out in excitement.

"Finally."

Translucent messages appeared above as his voice completely cracked.

[One strand of the Curse of Frost has disappeared.]

['Ten Thousand Flames Cultivation' has reached Three-Stars.]

['Coldness of the Frost' has reached Three-Stars.]

['Perception of the Snow Flower' has reached Three-Stars.]

['Fire Resistance' has reached Three-Stars.]

[You have reached the level of Sword Expert - Beginner.]

[Your aura cultivation speed grows faster.]

[All stats have increased greatly.]

[Swordsmanship proficiency has increased.]

[Footwork proficiency has increased.]

The messages appeared one after another.

"I've finally reached the level of an Expert."

Raon checked the messages and nodded in satisfaction.

Thanks to having trained continuously despite various incidents, he managed to reach the level of an Expert one month after the new year had begun.

He was only at the beginner level, which was worse than the apprentice level, but the feeling of achievement made him smile naturally.

Expert? Even a Sword Master is an insignificant insect, yet you are seriously rejoicing that you became a mere Expert?

Wrath snorted in dissatisfaction.

"It's rare to become an Expert at the age of fifteen."

Expert was indeed an excellent level, but it could hardly be called powerful on the continent's scale.

However, if one reached that level at the age of fifteen, it was an achievement that could shock not only regular Houses and kingdoms, but also the Six Kings and Five Demons.

Age? Only idiots count ages on a battlefield. A weakling is just a weakling, no matter how old they are.

"That's not wrong. No one would be dumb enough to go easy on someone on a battlefield just because they were young."

He snickered while nodding.

"However, I have no intention of stopping just because I became an Expert."

Raon pushed away Wrath-who was provoking him-then stood up.

'It's light.'

Probably because one strand of the shackle of ice that always pressured him had disappeared, his body felt as light as a leaf and was full of energy.
