Chapter 86

Raon decided to replicate the first step that separated the moonlight and pierced through space.

"Haa..."

Raon extended his left foot to the back and right foot to the front. His feet were shoulder-width apart. It was exactly the same posture as Glenn's, since Raon had observed it using the Ring of Fire.

'The step incorporated everything.'

It was fast, slow, strong, smooth, and ever-changing at the same time. It was a step that could bring him anywhere.

He raised his left foot.

Putting together what he'd felt from Glenn's demonstration and the principle of the martial arts he'd learned so far, he extended it to the front.

Stomp!

The golden moonlight covering the floor was distorted into a triangle, and an intense vibration traveled throughout the audience chamber.

The step was extremely weak compared to Glenn's, but the flow was almost identical.

It was the first step that could move in any direction, and in any way he wanted.

"......"

"Huh!"

Glenn narrowed his eyes, and Roenn's jaw dropped.

"Haa..."

Raon exhaled and closed his eyes. He was feeling dizzy, despite having only taken a single step. He must've been too focused and nervous.

"Is it over after that single step?"

Glenn turned around, looking at Raon's extended left foot.

"Yes."

Raon answered briefly and opened his eyes.

"Didn't you see more than that?"

"It's because I can't even repeat one tenth of it, let alone replicate it."

"How come you can't repeat it?"

"My lord's footwork contained too many things, like a martial god's steps. It's impossible for my unskilled self to understand it completely."

"Does that mean the first step was the easiest?"

Glenn's voice grew as cold as the severe winter's wind.

"No, it wasn't."

Raon continued while looking at his extended left foot.

"From what I saw, the first step was the most important and the most impressive. I thought I should repeat the first step, since it was more impressive than any other footwork you showed me afterwards."

"Why do you think the first step is the most important one?"

"Because the step can move in any direction, at any time, and in any way one desires. It was as shocking as watching the steps of an omnipotent existence, and the step is still stuck in my head."

Since it was impossible to lie to Glenn about martial arts, Raon answered honestly about what he saw and felt.

"Hmm."

Glenn slightly nodded and spread his legs. His expression remained the same, but it felt like the atmosphere had become softer.

"You have good instincts."

He took the same posture as the beginning, extending his left foot to the back and right foot to the front.

"The footstep I showed you is called the Supreme Harmony Steps. Since you realized the first step, Heavenly Advance, is the most important... You are halfway there."
