The Reincarnated Assassin Is a Genius Swordsman

Chapter 1261 Burren charges forward, wielding Cutting Wind with his entire body. He advanced with the fierce momentum of a beast targeting its prey, then was sent flying in that same position. "Urgh..." Burren rolled roughly across the ground before barely coming to a stop and lifting his head. "Cutting Wind doesn't work at all..." Since Raon was controlling his strength to some extent, he thought he could at least block his sword once, but he was completely countered from the start. A hollow laugh escaped him at the absurd difference in skill. "Grugh!" "Attack all at once!" "Right! If we keep waiting, we won't even be able to touch him!" "Let's go!" The Light Wind Palace swordsmen muttered that they were tired of getting beaten and simultaneously rushed at Raon. Kwaaaang! However, all who attacked together were sent flying at an even faster speed than when they charged and rolled on the ground like Burren. "Good! I missed this feeling!" Martha bared her teeth as she laughed. Even though her white teeth were stained red from a burst wound in her mouth, she waved the hand holding her sword as if pleased. "You really..." Burren let out a hollow laugh as he watched Martha getting excited. "Right! Sparring with that damn monster is more valuable than actual combat!" Martha bit her lips, saying that sparring with Raon was more frightening and made her flesh tremble more than the battle they had just fought. "Hyaaaaa!" Martha advanced toward Raon's front with a grinning smile and brought down her sword burning with Titan's Aura. She incorporated the training process she had gone through with her mother into her heavy yet sharp downward slash, unleashing an even more magnificent sword strike. Craaaack! Raon swiftly extended the Heavenly Drive's scabbard. He lightly shattered Martha's sword strike and even struck her shoulder with the sword handle. Thwaaack! Martha couldn't fully absorb the impact she received in midair and was driven straight into the ground. "Graaagh!" She seemed to be in severe pain as she clutched her shoulder and let out groans as if she was about to faint. "Y-yes, life only has flavor when there's pain!" Martha rose by pressing her hands down as if pleased and lifted her chin. Blood vessels had burst in her eyes, and the sight of her smiling while blood streamed from her entire body felt even eerie. "Huk!" "Ugh..." Krein and Dorian also trembled their jaws as if startled by Martha's terrifying appearance. "That's why she's called Miss Rakshasa." Burren also shook his head from side to side as he looked at Martha. "Miss Rakshasa or whatever, I don't care! I'll go until I die... Kahuk!" Martha was about to rush forward saying now was the real deal when she was struck on the back of her neck by Raon and collapsed to the ground. "Why, why..." She forcibly lifted her drooping eyelids and bit her lips, asking why he wouldn't fight her properly. "Your injury will worsen. This is as far as you go." Raon said he'd see her tomorrow and completely knocked Martha unconscious. "And..." As soon as he knocked down Martha, he moved to the right and stood in front of Krein and Dorian. "Hiiik!" "H-he's coming!" Krein and Dorian screamed as they swung their swords toward Raon's upper and lower body. Thanks to traveling together for a long time, they displayed perfect coordination as if they had planned it from the beginning. Chaaaak! Of course, Raon's scabbard lightly crushed Krein and Dorian's coordinated attack and struck both of their heads together. "Aaaahhh!" "Grugh..." Krein and Dorian rolled on the ground while clutching their struck heads. "Why do you keep just watching? Come at me whether it ends well or badly." Raon told them not to stay still but to keep moving endlessly and gave Dorian and Krein another flick on their heads. "Hyaaah!" Taking advantage of that gap, Burren rushed toward Raon's back. This time, he concentrated all of Cutting Wind not on his body but entirely on his sword as he brought it down. Kyaaaang! Raon raised the Heavenly Drive's scabbard precisely as if he had eyes on his back and blocked Burren's sword strike. "Surprise attacks are a good strategy when at a disadvantage. However..." He revealed cold eyes as he swung the scabbard around. "An imperfect surprise attack is less efficient than fighting head-on." Raon said that halfhearted actions were meaningless and pressed down on Burren's chest with his scabbard. Thwaaack! Burren was driven into the ground in a similar position to Martha and let out rough groans. "Urgh..." Burren let out a hollow breath as he watched Raon approach other swordsmen without even getting tired. 'He was unbeatable before, but now he's different again.' Certainly, even before entering seclusion, Raon had the martial prowess to fight all of Light Wind Palace and win with ease. But now he was distinctly different from before. It wasn't just ease—like a Sword God in the heavens above, he saw and felt everything, striking only the swordsmen's vulnerable points. It was like looking at the head of house. 'Always...' Burren put strength into his weakening grip and lifted his head. 'You make us unable to stay still.' Even though Raon possessed the greatest talent of all time, growing from his current level was far more difficult than them becoming stronger. But Raon always overcame those barriers and returned in a new form. Seeing that, they had no choice but to work desperately hard themselves. 'I hope father becomes the head of house, but...' Burren chuckled as he looked at Raon's shining eyes. 'Even if it's you, I think I could sincerely congratulate you.' The Raon he saw today was in no way lacking to be the Zieghart head of house. No, if Glenn weren't the current head of house, he possessed the dignity that wouldn't be strange even if he ascended to the throne immediately. Now he was confident he could genuinely applaud even if Raon became the head of house. "Graaagh!" Even with his strength completely drained, Burren somehow managed to get up and charge again, but after being struck in the abdomen, he collapsed and couldn't get up anymore. "Not bad." Raon felt that Burren had truly fought with all his might and nodded with satisfaction. 'Even without me, they didn't neglect their training.' The Light Wind Palace swordsmen showed achievements that suggested they hadn't become lazy during the two months he was in seclusion with Glenn, but had trained even harder. Both moved and proud, he found himself giving his best to help with their sparring. "Temporary head of house..." When Raon was nodding with satisfaction as he looked at the swordsmen, a quiet voice came from behind. "Huu..." It was Runaan. She approached him while exhaling a breath filled with cold air. "Please." Even though Runaan had suffered a great shock from her Sword Domain being shattered, she stood up again and gripped her sword. Honestly, she shouldn't even have the strength to hold a sword, but seeing her standing like that, it seemed she truly regretted her past self and wanted to change. "Come." Raon nodded calmly as if telling her to try. "......" Without even a common battle cry, Runaan glided across the ground and thrust Snow Flower. The brilliantly white blade energy of her sword shot up as if to pierce through Raon's neck. "Good." Raon nodded calmly and drew a semicircle with the Heavenly Drive's scabbard. Chiaaaaang! Just as he deflected Runaan's thrust with his scabbard and was about to counterattack. Tuuuung! Runaan used the force contained in the Heavenly Drive's scabbard in reverse to leap back, then raised her sword in front of her face, taking a knightly saluting stance. "Sword Domain Eternity." She didn't miss the gap created by the distance and opened her Sword Domain. Uuuuuung! This time, Runaan's Sword Domain didn't shatter. Frost extended in all directions as ten snow-capped mountains rose behind her. "I tried accepting the temporary head of house's advice." Runaan raised her sword and narrowed her eyes thinly. "I'll come with everything I have..." As she pointed her sword at him, the frost that had been burying the great mountains rose like clouds and flew toward him. "It's a good Sword Domain." Raon nodded calmly as he watched the frost petals rushing toward him like an avalanche. "It's so magnificent that only the word 'majestic' comes to mind." These weren't empty compliments. Runaan's Sword Domain was powerful, but its range was excessively wide. It seemed to be because her will to protect Zieghart was embedded within it. Suuuuu! Contrary to his words of praise, Raon revealed a cold gaze and raised the scabbard of Heavenly Drive. A red World Tree rose above the scabbard, and from it, petals carrying heat descended, creating a Flame Storm. Kuwaaaaaa! The storm of blazing flames scorched all the incoming frost petals and even burned away the phenomena Runaan had created with her Sword Domain. The stark difference in power and level was revealed. "However, to achieve your goal, you'll need to work even harder than you are now, as if your life depends on it." Raon said that while he could feel Runaan's will to protect Zieghart, the distance to her goal was still far too great, and shook his head. "I-I'll keep that in mind." Runaan bowed her head until the very end before collapsing on the spot and fainting. Having her Sword Domain shattered twice, she had no choice but to suffer a greater shock than anyone else present. Clap! When Runaan also collapsed, Raon secured the Heavenly Drive's scabbard to his waist and clapped his hands. "Good work. The achievements you showed today exceeded my expectations." He had worried they might have deteriorated, but said he was pleased and nodded. "Huu..." "Th-thank goodness." "We seem to have been acknowledged." "Then there won't be any training!" The Light Wind Palace swordsmen seemed pleased by Raon's acknowledgment and smiled at the corners of their mouths. "If you train like this for a week, it wouldn't be bad." Raon said they should do this kind of training for an entire week and curved his lips upward. At that moment, the faces of the Light Wind Palace swordsmen, who had been smiling, turned pale and hardened. "Hup!" "A-a week?" "That's crazy. It would be better to do focus enhancement training three times rather than this for a week!" The swordsmen muttered that this wasn't right, but no one had the courage to openly confront Raon about it. "Go to the infirmary for treatment and gather at the same time tomorrow." Even though Raon had heard all the swordsmen's opinions, he waved his hand with an expression that showed it had no effect whatsoever and returned to the Lord's Manor. "W-we thought wrong..." Burren panted as he lifted his head. He shook his jaw vigorously as he looked at Martha and Runaan, who had already fainted. "If that guy becomes the head of house, we'll all die here!" *** One week later, at the head of house's great training ground. The Light Wind Palace Swordsmen stood before the platform with their hands behind their backs, and a crimson fighting spirit blazed and flared up over their shoulders. They looked almost like Eden executives, but unlike them, it was an aura that revealed a pure will to fight. Step. When Raon stood at the end of the platform, the fighting spirit of the Light Wind Palace swordsmen, which seemed ready to strike down enemies, subsided as if washed away. "You've endured well for a week." Raon scanned the faces of the now-quiet Light Wind Palace swordsmen one by one. "Now you finally have faces that satisfy me." He nodded with satisfaction, saying that only with Light Wind Palace's current level of spirit could they fight against Eden. "Eden let loose the Evil Goat Demon and Bear Fire Demon while making excuses that they were out of their control. Because of their irresponsible actions, Birdnew Village was massacred, and the main house nearly suffered a major incident." Raon ground out Eden's name as if to crush it and cast down a chilling gaze. "Even if they've left the Heavenly Demon's hands, Eden is still Eden. I'll hold those rats hiding in the shadows accountable for Birdnew Village's deaths." After saying he would hold them accountable for the deaths, he trampled the air and descended to the great training ground. Gooooooo! The Light Wind Palace swordsmen inherited the fighting spirit emanating from Raon and released even more crimson and intense aura. Suuuuuu! As Raon walked between the Light Wind Palace members with his Black Dragon Coat fluttering, swordsmen including Burren, Martha, and Runaan followed behind him. "Let's go." Raon led Light Wind Palace, which emanated a desolate yet magnificent aura like a single sword, and red lightning like Glenn's flashed across his eyes. "To collect the blood debt of one hundred thirty-three lives."
