The Reincarnated Assassin Is a Genius Swordsman

Chapter 1267 "Simple, you say..." Silent Serpent Swordsman looked at Raon and let out a hollow laugh. "I'm curious how long that confidence will last. I'd love to arrange for you to meet them." He curled his lips as if thinking that Raon's calm expression would surely change once he met the Heavenly Demon's disciple. "..." Raon showed no reaction to Silent Serpent Swordsman's mocking words and only looked at Eden's ghosts rushing toward them. "Ugh..." The Bear Fire Demon was looking at Silent Serpent Swordsman with desperate eyes he had never shown before. There seemed to be a special relationship between the two. "Good!" Silent Serpent Swordsman approached Raon's side and clapped his hands loudly. "I'll guide you to the Heavenly Demon's disciple. It should be interesting to see you two meet." He licked his lips long as he said he would serve as a guide. "You probably don't want to waste your strength on those trash here either." Silent Serpent Swordsman whistled as he looked down the mountain following Raon's gaze. "I know a back route to get out of here. If you just follow me, you can reach the Heavenly Demon's disciple without fighting anyone." He stepped back and flicked his finger as if telling them to follow him. However, despite Silent Serpent Swordsman's shouts, not only Raon but even the Light Wind Palace swordsmen didn't move a finger. Gooooooo! The Light Wind Palace swordsmen showed no interest in Silent Serpent Swordsman's words and only emitted cold killing intent toward Eden's ghosts climbing up the mountain. "What..." Silent Serpent Swordsman frowned as he looked at the Light Wind Palace swordsmen. "You could get past without fighting, but you really want to fight?" He let out an exasperated sigh as if he couldn't understand the Light Wind Palace. "Shut your mouth." Burren turned to look at Silent Serpent Swordsman and frowned. "Since the Temporary head of house hasn't said a word." He gestured for Silent Serpent Swordsman to be quiet, saying he talked too much. "You can get past without fighting?" Martha looked at Silent Serpent Swordsman and twisted her lips. "Are you crazy? If we can fight, why just pass by! Of course we have to fight!" She rather liked it and fiercely drew her sword. "Not a single person..." Runaan raised her sword and revealed cold eyes. "Will reach us..." She nodded as if she wouldn't let even a fingertip of the Light Wind Palace swordsmen get hurt. "Really incomprehensible idiots." Silent Serpent Swordsman blinked at the Light Wind Palace's completely unexpected reaction. "S-Sir Raon hasn't said anything yet." Dorian trembled with the hand holding his sword but didn't back down from the cliff. "We only follow Sir Raon's words. I-If he tells us to fight, we fight, even if we die." Though his voice shook with nervousness, he didn't retreat even an inch. "That's right! You've finally come to your senses!" Krein patted Dorian's back and nodded vigorously. "With that man here, what is there to be afraid of!" He stamped his feet saying there was nothing to fear when with Raon. Kuuuuung! The other Light Wind Palace swordsmen also didn't even look at Silent Serpent Swordsman, as if they would only follow Raon's words. "Crazy bastards..." Silent Serpent Swordsman swallowed dryly as if dumbfounded. "That's why I like it even more? I should stay too!" He looked at Raon with excited eyes as if he surprisingly liked the Light Wind Palace's current appearance even more. "We came to collect blood debt from Eden." Raon stood at the edge of the cliff and arrogantly raised his chin. "If we run away from here, we'd be no different from thieves. There's no retreat. We'll break through all the way to where the Heavenly Demon's disciple is." Since he didn't trust Silent Serpent Swordsman, his proposal was never even a consideration from the start. He told them to break through Eden's ghosts and advance straight to the building where the Heavenly Demon's disciple was, drawing Heavenly Drive. Chiaaaaang! When Raon smoothly drew Heavenly Drive downward, the red heat contained in the sword blade spread like a phoenix's wings and flew toward Eden's ghosts that had chased them to the foot of the Light Wind Palace. "Wh-what!" "How can such swordsmanship exist..." "Kyaaaaaaak!" Eden's executives wearing Troll, Ogre, and Gargoyle helmets had their bodies split in half by Raon's sword strike and fell straight from the cliff they had struggled to climb. The blood pouring from their corpses rained down like a downpour on Eden's ghosts who were trying to climb up. "Th-three fell to one sword strike?" "T-too fast..." "That's not human swordsmanship!" "Ugh..." Eden's ghosts seemed shocked by Raon's cruel yet perfect sword and froze in their climbing positions on the cliff. The moment they saw Raon's red eyes, they trembled all over as if goosebumps had risen. "Those who block the path..." Raon raised the blazing red Heavenly Drive and aimed at the Eden executives who had stopped on the cliff. "May all be killed." He gave an order that wouldn't be strange even if it led to all-out war with Eden, calmly lowering his chin. "We follow the Temporary head of house's command." "We follow your command!" Starting with Burren's answer, the Light Wind Palace swordsmen shouted that they would follow the command and rushed down the cliff. "Don't block Zieghart's path." "You heard? Kill them all!" Burren's wind-riding sword cut down the Shaman with the frozen Gnoll mask on the right, and Martha seemed to have misunderstood Raon's words as she screamed evilly and cut down the Swordsman wearing an Orc helmet along with his sword. "Let's go too!" "Smash them all!" "The Sword Emperor is behind us!" The Light Wind Palace swordsmen raised their momentum from Raon, Burren, and Martha's performance and rushed down the cliff to face Eden's ghosts head-on. This was certainly Eden's main base, but the fighting spirit to win the battle was felt more strongly from the Zieghart swordsmen. "Haaa..." When Runaan exhaled an icy breath and thrust her sword forward, the frost blooming from the sword blade spread like wind-carried petals, becoming a shield that protected Light Wind Palace from enemies, while conversely freezing the hands and feet of Eden's ghosts. As the second Transcendent of Light Wind Palace, she cruelly crushed enemies with peerless martial prowess and perfectly protected her allies. "This is easier than I thought?" Krein cut down one of Eden's ghosts that had blocked his path and let out an exclamation. "R-right. Is this really Eden's main base...?" Dorian also blinked in confusion seeing the path open much more easily than expected. "Because the real ones haven't come out." Raon walked along the path Light Wind Palace had opened and nodded calmly. "These guys are just fakes sent by the real executives." The real skill of the masked and helmeted ghosts currently rushing at Light Wind Palace is no different from the slightly stronger ones among Eden's lower-class martial artists, the Red Demons or Green Demons. They're just receiving special power from Eden's main base called Paradise and exerting executive-level strength. "Exactly!" Silent Serpent Swordsman clapped his hands as if that was correct. "Those are fake executives with lower-grade masks or helmets put on Red Demons and Green Demons. The formation array in this Paradise has only enhanced their power." He looked at Raon as if asking how he knew that fact. "I just saw it." Raon calmly shook his head. 'Because now I can feel the world as it is.' Having surpassed Transcendence and with the Ring of Fire reaching the tenth star, he could feel the flow of the world as if it were in his grasp. The moment he entered this place, he could sense everything - what role the formation array installed in this Paradise played, and what level his enemies originally were. "You're a real monster too!" Silent Serpent Swordsman curled his lips as if things had become more interesting. "Good! Let's go!" He lightly trampled Eden's ghosts following Light Wind Palace as if he belonged to Zieghart. "What are you doing?" Raon frowned as he watched Silent Serpent Swordsman attacking Eden. "As I said, these guys are Green Demons and Red Demons who don't fear death. They won't retreat anyway, so I'll help save time." Silent Serpent Swordsman said he would also fight alongside Zieghart and rushed forward. -That guy is really crazy. Wrath let out a hollow laugh as if dumbfounded. -I can understand offering to guide, but why is he attacking his own allies? He shook his head saying he couldn't understand Silent Serpent Swordsman beating and driving away Eden's ghosts. 'Exactly.' Raon narrowed his eyes as he watched Silent Serpent Swordsman subduing Eden's ghosts with his hand blades. 'I don't know what he's thinking.' Silent Serpent Swordsman's current martial prowess is above intermediate Transcendence. He's certainly one of the few strong warriors in the world, but he's no match for Raon. He didn't know what he was relying on to act so leisurely. "Ugh, ugh..." The Bear Fire Demon followed Silent Serpent Swordsman's back while his lips trembled. His emotions seemed to be growing more intense. "Do you know that guy?" Raon narrowed his eyes as he looked at the Bear Fire Demon. Normally he would have just ignored him, but since he was showing such obvious signs of recognition, he had become a bit curious. "Umm..." The Bear Fire Demon couldn't answer immediately and bit his trembling lips deeply. "If you don't want to talk, you don't have to." Since it seemed he wouldn't answer even if asked, he ignored the Bear Fire Demon and followed the bloody path that Light Wind Palace swordsmen had opened. Kugugugugugu! The Light Wind Palace swordsmen maintained their Light Wind Sword Formation and lightly cut down Eden's ghosts like harvesting apples as they descended to the bottom of the mountain. "Um, there..." It was the moment when the Bear Fire Demon approached Raon and was struggling to open his lips. [Stand down!] A tremendous resonance came from atop the white tower. At the shout imbued with terrifying Fighting Spirit, not only Eden's ghosts but even the Light Wind Palace swordsmen froze. "Now they finally step forward." Silent Serpent Swordsman brushed the blood off his shoes and chuckled. "It seems your choice was the right answer." He nodded saying the Heavenly Demon's disciple had begun to move. [Open the path!] The Heavenly Demon's disciple created a resonance telling them to open a path, as if ordering them not to fight Light Wind Palace anymore and to stand down. Huuuuuuk! Eden's ghosts had no choice but to follow what the Heavenly Demon's disciple said, and despite radiating thick killing intent, they stayed far away from the Light Wind Palace swordsmen and opened a path. "Does this mean come in?" Raon nodded calmly and walked along Eden's main road that had opened clearly. "Huu..." "Tsk! Still not enough!" Burren followed Raon while maintaining tension and gripping his sword tightly, while Martha clicked her tongue long as if disappointed she couldn't fight more. "..." Runaan held her sword in her arms and spread frosty Aura Perception as if she would protect everyone no matter what happened. "The one who opens the path from their own room, and the one who openly walks into the enemy camp..." Silent Serpent Swordsman looked back and forth between the white tower and Raon, his lips trembling. "It's a feast of madmen!" He crossed his arms and giggled, saying it was too interesting. "..." Raon didn't respond to Silent Serpent Swordsman's words and walked through Eden's main base composed only of white towers. 'This place is certainly different.' They are all strong warriors. As soon as they entered Eden's main base, the atmosphere changed drastically. The ghosts now surrounding himself and Light Wind Palace were all real Eden executives emanating heavy Fighting Spirit. They originally possessed extraordinary talents, but it seemed they had gained martial prowess stronger than their actual level due to the formation array installed in this land. "Hmm..." "The air is heavy." "So this is the real thing." The Light Wind Palace swordsmen also seemed to sense that these were real Eden executives and didn't relax their guard, tightening their momentum. 'However...' Raon exhaled briefly. 'The monsters still haven't come out.' Eden's Transcendents existing at the top floors of the white towers seemed to have heavy bottoms as they still hadn't moved from their positions and were only watching from above. Seeing them not showing themselves to this extent, it seemed there might be a reason they couldn't move. 'Come to think of it, the towers' exteriors are unusual too.' The landscape within Eden's main base was a mysterious place where white towers and forests blended together, and each tower had different emblems carved on it. There were monster horns, teeth, claws, as well as weapons like swords and axes, making it impossible to know exactly what each emblem meant. 'Could it be related to the formation array...' It was when Raon was narrowing his eyes while speculating about Eden's situation. Kuuuung! Intense vibrations occurred from the tallest tower built at Eden's center. A door carved with a dragon's head bearing ten horns opened, and from within appeared a slender silhouette. Step! Along with heavy footsteps that overwhelmed everyone present, a woman with jet-black hair fluttering like ink appeared. She wore a helmet carved with the face of a devastating beauty, and around her forehead was a laurel crown made of vibrant grass leaves. She had an aura and presence reminiscent of a sacred goddess. "Welcome to Eden." From within the beauty's helmet, red eyes blazing fiercely like lava flashed. "Sword Emperor Raon Zieghart."
