The Reincarnated Assassin Is a Genius Swordsman
Chapter 1294
Chapter 1294
Raon confirmed that all the Zieghart swordsmen in the training ground had gone up to North Grave Mountain, then descended below the platform.
"Shall we start right away?"
Sheryl now seemed to have developed a taste for exhaustion training, repeatedly clenching and unclenching her fists.
"Hehehe."
Roenn also seemed to find it interesting as he untied his hands from behind his back and smacked his lips.
"Let's finish the children's training quickly and give us some exhaustion training too!"
The Blade Queen rubbed her waist where she had been hit by Raon before, her eyes gleaming.
"If you rush in that excited, the fight itself won't work out."
The Warlord told her to stay calm while pressing down on the Blade Queen's shoulder.
"It's good that everyone is overflowing with energy."
Alice looked at the Blade Queen and Warlord, who were much older than herself, and muttered that she envied their youthfulness.
All five were helping with the exhaustion training because Raon asked them to, but they didn't seem to think this training would greatly help the swordsmen's growth.
"No."
Raon calmly shook his head while looking at the masters helping with exhaustion training.
"Today, we probably won't need to step forward."
He said there was no need to directly step forward and pressure the swordsmen like before, smiling faintly.
"No need to step forward?"
"What do you mean by that?"
Sheryl and the Blade Queen tilted their heads, not understanding what Raon's words meant.
"Hehehe."
"Hmm..."
Roenn and the Warlord stood in proper posture as if waiting for Raon's instructions.
"You'll understand if you see. Please follow me."
Raon concealed his presence and went up to North Grave Mountain first.
"Well, he says to follow, so we should follow."
As Alice shrugged her shoulders and followed him, the other four people also made eye contact with each other, then concealed their presence and followed behind.
Chaaang!
Just as Raon crossed the entrance of North Grave Mountain, the sound of sword clashing against sword came from the right bushes. It meant the swordsmen were fighting each other.
"Let's go over there."
He gave instructions within an aura barrier to prevent noise from spreading, then moved toward where the fight was taking place.
"Why, why are you doing this!"
Dorian bit his lips while blocking Krein's sword.
"You heard what that guy said too!"
Krein gritted his teeth while pushing Dorian back with his sword.
"You have to fall for me to survive!"
He pushed his sword even more fiercely, begging him to die.
"Y-you could attack other martial divisions!"
Dorian struggled to push away Krein's sword strikes, asking why he came to him when he could attack the weak ones.
"You think that damn guy will just let me do something cowardly! It's obvious he'll raise hell later!"
Krein furrowed his brow, asking if Dorian didn't know better than anyone.
"W-well, that's true..."
Dorian stroked his chin as if he sympathized.
"So you're the only one!"
Krein swung his sword with full power, saying he would defeat Dorian here and follow Raon.
-That shrewd guy knows your wickedness very well!
Wrath curled his lips while looking at Krein.
-He understands very well that you're a petty lunatic who raises hell over trivial things!
The guy giggled on his shoulder as if finding it amusing.
"Wow, he knows very well what kind of person the Temporary head of house is?"
Alice also chuckled, saying Krein was quite perceptive.
"Hehehe!"
Roenn also let out a hearty laugh as if he had the same thought.
"Die! I'm going to leave with that unlucky damn guy!"
Krein didn't want to stay and continue exhaustion training, so he unleashed his swordsmanship with sincerity.
"Hmm!"
Sheryl let out an exclamation while watching Krein's swordsmanship unfold.
"Krein's skills have improved a lot, haven't they? It's a world of difference from when he first started exhaustion training."
He smacked his lips, saying Krein's skills had improved by leaps and bounds.
"Indeed."
The Blade Queen found it interesting and stroked her chin.
"The sword tip is moving with life."
Having taught Krein directly, she seemed to clearly feel his change and drew a deep smile.
"I'm sorry, but..."
Dorian slowly pushed away Krein's sword and straightened his back that had been bent backward.
"I have to survive too!"
He also stamped his feet, saying he wanted to stop the exhaustion training.
Chiaaang!
Dorian infused his sword with <Gluttony> dwelling in his soul and confronted Krein's sword strikes pouring down like a storm.
Kyararararang!
Crimson afterimages like Gluttony's lips bloomed from Dorian's sword and devoured all of Krein's sword strikes.
Kuwaaang!
Krein took a slash to the shoulder from Dorian's strike and was driven straight into the ground.
"Keuuk..."
He lay sprawled out from the unexpected impact and vomited blood.
"Hehehe!"
Roenn let his hands loose from behind his back and burst into laughter filled with admiration.
"Young Master Dorian has also really improved a lot."
He clasped his hands together as if very surprised by Dorian's swordsmanship.
"Swordsmanship that devours the opponent's aura..."
The Warlord looked at Dorian and lowered one eyebrow.
"Not bad."
Having taught Dorian directly, he seemed to feel somewhat proud and slightly raised his lips that were always firmly set downward.
"S-sorry..."
Dorian seemed surprised by the power of his own swordsmanship and ran to Krein with wide eyes.
"A-as expected, I couldn't win..."
Krein trembled his lips as if he had known he would lose.
"B-but why?"
Dorian narrowed his eyes, puzzled that Krein had attacked despite knowing.
"I-I told you. That crazy, insane damn guy won't leave me alone!"
Krein struggled to shake his head, saying it was better to clash with full power against Dorian than to fight Raon.
-At first he was just a damn guy, but now he's become a crazy and insane damn guy!
Wrath giggled while watching Krein's insults about Raon getting longer and longer.
'Indeed.'
Raon chuckled while slightly turning his head.
-Even though you're being insulted, you look pleased.
Wrath twisted his lips while looking at him.
-Well, you saw with your own eyes that your subordinates have grown, so you can't help but feel good.
The guy nodded, saying he fully understood that feeling.
'That's right.'
Raon drew a gentle smile while looking at the fallen Krein and Dorian supporting him.
"Let's continue."
He called to the people who were admiring Krein and Dorian's duel, saying they should go higher.
Kyaaaang!
As Raon expected, North Grave Mountain was now no different from a giant training ground.
Most of the swordsmen were finding opponents of similar martial prowess to their own and clashing swords with full power, conducting their own exhaustion training.
"It's really as the Temporary head of house said."
Sheryl looked around and opened her eyes wide.
"Everyone is clashing with full power."
She whistled, saying she didn't know the swordsmen would be this passionate.
"Let's go over there."
Raon pointed to the western peak where the largest shockwaves were erupting on North Grave Mountain and stepped on Supreme Harmony Steps.
Kuuuung!
The two swordsmen engaged in fierce battle on the western peak were Burren and Martha.
The two poured out chillingly murderous sword strikes toward each other as if they had met their mortal enemies.
Kugugugugu!
In an instant, Burren and Martha's sword strikes clashed countless times, creating cracks in the peak and causing giant rocks to start rolling down the mountain.
"As expected, it was Burren and Martha. But..."
The Blade Queen watched Burren and Martha's movements and slightly narrowed her eyes.
"Were these children this strong?"
She let out an empty breath, saying the swordsmen's level had risen dramatically as if they were different people.
"No, this is all recent growth."
The Warlord swallowed dry saliva while looking at Raon's back in front of him.
"It must be thanks to Sir Raon's training."
He stroked his chin, saying Burren and Martha had grown thanks to the exhaustion training Raon created.
"It's not just these two."
Alice drew a refreshing smile and shook her head.
"All the swordsmen we've seen so far have clearly grown."
She clenched her fist, saying not just the two they were watching now, but the Zieghart swordsmen had overall become stronger.
"There's also over there."
Roenn laughed heartily while watching Runaan accepting all challenges from strong swordsmen on the opposite peak.
"They're still far from enough."
Raon shook his head while sensing all the auras of the swordsmen on North Grave Mountain.
"Until the war with Eden..."
He wasn't satisfied with the current growth of the swordsmen and smacked his lips as if still hungry.
"I plan to make them all more than twice as strong as they are now."
* * *
"Good work."
Raon calmly lowered his chin while looking at the swordsmen rolling around exhausted in the training ground.
"Everyone did much better than I expected."
He drew a soft smile, saying he was impressed with all the swordsmen who participated in training.
"Keuuu..."
"Th-thank you..."
"I'm dying. I'm going to die..."
"Huk! Huk!"
The swordsmen couldn't even respond to Raon's words, only letting out groans and breathing sounds. They seemed more exhausted than usual exhaustion training from fighting each other with full power.
"Since everyone approached today's training with sincerity, I will postpone exhaustion training until this mission is over."
Raon stamped his foot while declaring that they wouldn't do exhaustion training until the mission to capture the Archangel was over.
"Uoooooo!"
"Iyaaaaaa!"
"Long live the Temporary head of house! No, just long live the head of house!"
At the words that they wouldn't do exhaustion training, the swordsmen sprang up as if receiving heavenly blessing and burst into cheers and roars.
However, they immediately lost strength and collapsed back to the ground.
"Since this mission isn't simply about fighting, I'll go with the Light Wind Palace who have coordinated with me many times."
When Raon said he would carry out the mission with the familiar Light Wind Palace, the swordsmen nodded without any complaints.
No, it seemed like nothing mattered as long as they didn't have to do exhaustion training.
"N-not simply fighting?"
Krein struggled to lift his head and blinked.
"What does that mean?"
Burren also smacked his lips as if curious about the mission content.
"S-scary."
Dorian swallowed dry saliva as if a new fear had struck him.
"It's not that difficult a task."
Raon smiled broadly while raising his finger. He drew a chilling smile as if he had already subdued the Archangel Sariel.
"It's about elevating a new god to drive out the fraud who considers himself a god."
