The Reincarnated Assassin is a Genius Swordsman 736

 Chapter 736

 

Raon stepped through the dimensional gate and gazed upon the vast, blue sea of the south.

‘It really does bring you here in an instant.’

As promised by Chamber and Larian, the dimensional gate opened a path directly to house Robert without any delay.

They were truly monsters who had transcended through magic.

‘Phew…’

Raon slowly exhaled and turned his gaze to the right.

A grand estate stood with the sea at its back, so imposing that it could be mistaken for a kingdom.

‘It’s been a while since I’ve seen that damn family head-on.’

It had been a long time since Raon last faced house Robert, the last time being when he came to steal the treasure of the underwater dungeon. But nothing seemed to have changed.

The most powerful force in the south revealed its noble demeanor as if nothing had happened.

Whirrrrr!

Raon spread his aura perception towards house Robert.

‘As expected, he’s not here…’

He scanned the direction of house Robert’s main building but could not sense Derus’ presence.

Since Glenn was also remaining still, it seemed he really wasn’t here either.

‘Well, if he’s not a fool, he wouldn’t have fled here.’

Both Derus and Uriel had been injured by wrath energy, so they must have hidden in a place where no one could find them.

‘However…’

No matter how thoroughly he prepared, he couldn't have taken all his subordinates out of here.

Right now, house Robert is full of assassins who know Derus’ true identity. They must be quickly dealt with to prevent them from escaping and aiding Derus.

As Raon recalled the geography of house Robert and loosened his hands, Glenn

approached the walls of house Robert’s fortress.

Kwarrrrrr!

As Glenn aimed Heavenly Tremor at the sky, a deafening roar echoed as if the sky were being torn apart, and a grand lightning bolt descended.

Kuwaaaaa!

The lightning, infused with the swordsmanship of the Azure Sky Sword, mercilessly tore through house Robert’s protective barrier, which was said to withstand even the attacks of Transcenders.

Kugugugugu!

Even after piercing the barrier, Glenn's lightning retained enough power to destroy half of house Robert’s fortress gate and walls. The absolute force that shattered the fortress with a single strike showed that Glenn's sword had already surpassed the realm of humanity.

"It might be a bit excessive, but…"

As Lecross, the Silent Sword Sovereign, tilted his sword diagonally, the remaining half of the wall crumbled like a sandcastle.

Boom!

House Robert’s swordsmen, who had lost their fortress in an instant, turned pale.

"Now it’s our turn!"

As Chamber chewed on the candy in her mouth and cast a rapid chant, a massive magic circle appeared over house Robert and the sea behind it.

It was a magic circle to prevent spatial movement, like the one she had shown at the Beast Union’s conference hall.

"Hmm…"

Larian nodded her chin and twirled her fingers as if playing a string game, causing shadow-attributed threads to rain down like a downpour, completely surrounding the main building of house Robert.

It was like a spider wrapping its prey in a web.

"Aah…”

Dorian collapsed on the spot, his chin trembling.

“This is the power of Transcenders… And not just any, but higher level Transcenders…"

Burren swallowed dryly in astonishment.

"...I want to be like them."

Runaan, rarely revealing her true feelings, bit her lip. She stared unblinkingly, as if trying to memorize Glenn and Lecross' swordsmanship.

"It's not just about wanting to be like them—you have to be like them!"

Martha clenched her fists tightly, furrowing her brows.

With bloodshot eyes, she too fixed her gaze, determined to memorize the Transcenders' power.

“What… what is the meaning of this!”

From behind the collapsed wall, a middle-aged man with a gray beard walked out, his legs trembling. He was Marein, the foreign minister of house Robert.

“Destroying our fortress out of nowhere, even if you are from the Six Kings, you have crossed the line!”

Despite his voice cracking from fear, he finished what he had to say.

“If you have something to say, come over here and say it!”

Marein stomped his foot, pointing to where the gate used to be. He displayed the true spirit of a warrior, filled with honor and courage.

Raon sneered as he watched Marein standing tall even in front of the heads of the Six Kings.

‘He’s quite the actor.’

Derus had dragged most of house Robert’s executives into the blood-soaked darkness.

It was only natural that Marein, who oversaw all external affairs, was also a part of the Shadow.

“Where is our head of house who participated in the Conference of the Six Kings, and why are you attacking us?”

Despite trembling under Glenn’s energy, Marein continued to speak defiantly.

The swordsmen of the outer fortress also gripped their swords tightly, as if in sync with Marein.

"Alright. You deserve to know the reason."

As Chamber nodded and raised her hand, a massive blue window appeared in the sky.

Whirrrrr!

The blue window vibrated slightly and then began replaying the scene where Derus’ true identity was exposed at the training ground.

To show it not just to the outer fortress but also to those in the inner fortress, Chamber expanded the magic further, projecting it into the sky. It seemed she had prepared this recording spell from the beginning.

“Ah…”

“No… the head of house…”

As Derus’ true identity was exposed and it was revealed that Lephone was not a real human but an archangel, the expressions of the swordsmen in the outer fortress turned ashen, as if their souls had left their bodies.

“…Is that really true?”

“The head of house was the blue dragon helmet swordsman…”

“I don’t believe it! The head of house wouldn’t do such a thing!”

“That’s right. It must be a lie. Magic can be manipulated!”

“Where is our head of house! Bring him here right now!”

The swordsmen of the outer fortress refused to believe it, their eyes blazing with anger.

Marein bit his lip and turned his gaze backward.

"Sir Revel."

At his call, a young magician wearing a black robe stepped forward.

“Yes, Marein.”

“Is there any manipulation in that footage?”

“Transcender magicians can manipulate mana at will. It’s beyond my ability to discern.”

The mage called Revel subtly hinted at the possibility of manipulation as he bowed his head.

“I…"

Marein gritted his teeth and lifted his gaze.

"I believe in our head of house I have seen!"

He raised his sword, determined to fight to the end.

"Even in death, stop the enemies!"

At Marein’s shout, the swordsmen of the outer fortress raised their swords, setting up a firm sword formation to block the path of the Six Kings.

"They’re still being stubborn after seeing this."

Chamber shook her head in disbelief.

"Attack. You may kill those who resist."

As Glenn pointed Heavenly Tremor at house Robert, the Heavenly Blade division and the Light Wind division charged forward, creating a sandstorm.

Dududududu!

Owen’s knights charged forward on horseback, ready to crush house Robert swordsmen’s formation.

Wooooong!

The mages of Balkar and Magic Tower simultaneously cast attack and support spells, forming various magic circles.

Boom!

As the warriors of the Six Kings clashed with the swordsmen of house Robert, shockwaves that shook the ground erupted in all directions.

The swordsmen protecting house Robert were indeed strong, but they were outnumbered and lacked justification, so it didn’t take long before their formation was shattered, and they were pushed back.

Raon observed the falling swordsmen of house Robert and twisted his lips into a smirk. ‘That was quick.’

Marein and Revel, who had incited the outer swordsmen, had already fled and were nowhere to be seen.

As expected, it seemed those bastards had only come out to buy time.

They abandoned their subordinates and ran away!

Wrath was furious, his face flushed red.

They’re the ones who must not be spared!

He swung his fists wildly, urging Raon to chase after them immediately.

'Don’t worry. I know where they’ve gone.'

Raon sent a glance to Glenn, signaling that he would handle this himself, and then moved towards the outskirts of house Robert.

“Damn it! There’s no way those guys can buy us any time!”

Marein ground his teeth and shook his head. Even if the outer swordsmen were strong, their opponents were the entire Six Kings.

The very act of trying to delay them was an impossible task.

“If we stay here, we’ll die too. We should move somewhere, anywhere.”

Revel looked back and exhaled a low breath.

“Didn’t you say we couldn’t use teleportation magic because of that?”

Marein frowned as he looked at the magic circle Chamber had drawn in the sky.

“We should head for the sea. If we move underwater, we won’t be detected.”

Revel anxiously scanned the surroundings as he suggested using breathing magic to escape.

“Where are Sir Beorn and Sir Vardiel?”

Marein narrowed his eyes as he looked towards the main building.

“I don’t know. I haven’t seen them since they ordered us to buy time…”

Revel lowered his gaze, saying he had only seen them when receiving their orders.

“Don’t tell me they left us behind and escaped…”

Marein’s face twisted in a scowl as he looked to the side. At that moment, both he and Revel suddenly tumbled to the ground as if they had tripped over a stone.

“W-what…”

“Why did we…huh?”

The two men, who were about to curse as they tried to get up, trembled in shock.

In the spot where they had tripped, there were four severed legs.

“L-legs…?”

“Aaaaaaarrrghhh!”

Marein and Revel screamed in terror as they stared at their own lower bodies, which had been severed without them even realizing it.

Sssiiiing.

With a thin, ringing sound, Raon landed in front of Marein and Revel, holding Heavenly Drive, spotless and without a single drop of blood.

“You, you are…”

“Raon Zieghart…?”

Realizing that the person who had severed their legs was Raon, Marein and Revel trembled.

“You’ve gotten weak, Marein.”

Raon lowered Heavenly Drive and struck Marein and Revel in the chest with his palm, knocking out the rage worms in their hearts.

“Urgh!”

“Ugh…”

Marein and Revel coughed up blood as their heads slammed into the ground.

“R-Raon Zieghart. Why are you here….”

"So Beorn, the one who stabbed me, was also a subordinate of Derus. There’s nothing you’re not involved in."

Raon sneered as he drove Heavenly Drive and the Blade of Requiem into Marein and Revel’s collarbones.

“Arghhhh!”

“Ughhh!”

With the heat and cold energy surging through them, Marein and Revel couldn’t endure the pain and screamed as if their throats were tearing.

“Where is Derus?”

“I-I don’t know.”

Marein shook his head, saying he hadn’t seen Derus since he left for the conference.

“Then who gave you the order to buy time?”

“Be-Beorn and Vardiel…”

Revel exhaled as if he was about to die, mentioning the names of Beorn and Vardiel.

“Beorn and Vardiel.”

They were names he hadn’t encountered in his previous life. It seemed they were close confidants of Derus, left behind here.

“What do they look like?”

“Well…”

“Speak.”

Raon crushed Marein’s collarbone while simultaneously injecting the heat of Ten Thousand Flames Cultivation and the cold of Glacier.

“Aaarghhh! I-I’ll tell you! Beorn has red hair…”

Marein quickly described the appearance of Beorn and Vardiel.

After hearing the descriptions, Raon decapitated both Marein and Revel.

“Urgh…”

“Kurgh…”

Those who had abandoned their subordinates and fled were buried in the ground, having endured nothing but excruciating pain..

Aren’t you going to extract more information?

'Those bastards don’t know anything.'

Considering that the order to stall for time didn’t come from Derus but from his confidants, these two were merely disposable pawns.

There was no point in keeping them any longer, it would only waste time.

Raon bit his lip as he scanned the entire house Robert, which was now engulfed in black smoke.

‘I’ll need to move faster.’

He didn’t want to leave even a small piece of the force that Derus had left here.

He needed to act quickly to take out the shadow assassins he remembered.

‘Derus Robert.’

As Raon walked towards the main building, he allowed the killing intent he had been suppressing to rise.

‘I’ll destroy everything you’ve built.’

His footsteps turned into flames, devouring everything in their path.

After assassinating the shadow executives remaining in the main building, Raon headed towards the Lushein mountain, located west of house Robert’s territory.

He pushed a rock that would naturally be overlooked due to the splendid scenery and examined the area below.

‘They’ve sealed it off.’

It seemed like someone had expected intruders, as the underground cave where the shadow assassins were nurtured had been sealed.

However, it wasn’t completely sealed, it looked like it had been blocked off by piling up soil.

‘That means there could still be something inside.’

Raon carefully dug away the soil and entered.

Fortunately, they hadn’t filled the entire interior with soil, so it wasn’t long before he stepped onto the stairs.

As he descended, stepping on each stair as he remembered, he eventually felt the solid ground beneath him.

'It feels strange without them here.'

The underground chamber, which should have been filled with the assassins of the Shadow, was now empty. The lights that used to be on 24/7, causing insomnia, were also gone, making his past memories feel distorted.

‘No, that’s not possible.’

Raon chuckled quietly in the perfect darkness as he recalled his old memories.

Although the appearance of the cave had changed, his soul, which had once screamed in torment here, was still suffering.

What is this place?

Wrath squinted his eyes, saying that this place was filled with tremendous wrath.

‘Hell.’

Raon twisted his lips as he stepped on the sticky floor, hardened with dried blood.

'It's the hell of the human world.'

The scent of blood lingering in the space tickled his nose, and memories of his past life surfaced one by one.

The moment he was kidnapped, tortured, and brainwashed until he coughed up blood, the time when he ate weeds and ran from wild beasts, and the moment he killed the only friend he had ever opened his heart to—all came back to him vividly.

What in the world have you gone through…

Wrath breathed heavily, shocked that a human could harbor such intense anger.

Get a grip. Inside here now is...

‘Yes, there is an enemy.’

Raon nodded, saying he was well aware.

‘I sensed it from the moment I first entered.’

In the darkness where one couldn't see an inch ahead, an assassin cloaked in shadows was hiding. He was so skilled that even the Perception of the Snow Flower couldn’t detect him properly.

‘This one isn’t just a disposable pawn.’

Even Derus wouldn’t discard someone of this caliber.

The fact that this person was in the sealed cave meant he knew something important.

Do you know who it is?

‘Probably.’

Raon nodded calmly.

It was undoubtedly the King of Ghost, who, along with Derus, had created this cave, kidnapped me, and trained me alongside Martio and Lisbon. The King of Ghost, the worst assassin, rumored to be on par with the King of Slaughter.

'Right now…'

Raon placed his hand on the hilt of Heavenly Drive as he stared at the flickering darkness.

‘I feel like I can even cut down the King of Ghost.’
