The Reincarnated Assassin Is a Genius Swordsman

Chapter 1323 "Huu..." Raon lowered Heavenly Drive and wiped the sweat pouring down like rain from his forehead. 'This is tough.' The conversation of swords with Glenn was more draining on stamina and mental strength than fighting in real combat. Even though he wasn't using aura and his life wasn't threatened, just clashing Soul Swords was more difficult than any other fight. 'But it's enjoyable. And...' I can feel myself growing. Every time he crossed Soul Swords with Glenn, he could feel his own sword becoming harder and sharper. Just as a master forges a noted sword through countless hammer strikes, it seemed the sword created from his own heart also grew stronger the more it clashed. Glenn clearly already knew this fact and was trying to help his Soul Sword grow. "Thank you." Raon felt Glenn's heart and bowed to him. "Thanks to you, my Soul Sword was able to take another step forward." While dealing with Archangel Sariel, he had become able to use Soul Sword more precisely and flexibly, but the sword's power itself hadn't changed much. But today, by clashing Soul Swords repeatedly with Glenn, he was able to clearly raise the sword's power as well. Since it was no ordinary effort, he definitely wanted to express his gratitude. "I enjoyed it too. And..." Glenn waved his hand calmly as if it was nothing special. "Since you achieved remarkable feats as Temporary head of house, it's right to give you a fitting reward." He smiled lightly as if he had helped grow his Soul Sword in order to reward the achievements he had made as Temporary head of house. "To be honest, you've grown faster than I expected, so there's not much I can do for you anymore." Glenn clicked his tongue, saying ordinary rewards couldn't satisfy him. "I'm not at that level yet." Raon said he still had much to learn while touching the back of his head. "No, you are." Glenn chuckled while looking at Raon. "Even though you can freely enter the family Treasury, you've never come even once!" He waved his hand as if disappointed, telling him to at least visit so he could see his face. With his external aging having progressed considerably, he didn't look like the head of house of Zieghart, but exactly like a kind grandfather waiting for his grandchild in the countryside. "Ahaha..." Raon awkwardly lowered his eyes slightly. 'Come to think of it, I hadn't even thought about the family Treasury.' He had obtained several admission tickets to enter the Zieghart Treasury from Glenn by accumulating many achievements. But since he didn't particularly need anything, he hadn't thought about going in until now. -Ah! I have a good idea! Those admission tickets... Wrath raised his finger, saying he had a good idea. -Exchange them for buffet tickets! Since banquets are held at the Lord's Manor from time to time, go there! The guy licked his lips, saying let's go to that buffet and eat to our heart's content. '...' Raon looked at Wrath with coldly irritated eyes. -Why, why! What's with those eyes! Food is what remains! Wrath swallowed dry saliva, asking why he was looking at him like that. "I understand your thinking that you don't need the Treasury's treasures, but..." Glenn drew a faint smile while looking at Raon. "It would be good to frequent the Treasury. That place isn't simply a location where things are piled up." He drew a circle with his finger, saying there was something more important than that. "And there might be real treasures too." Glenn drew a deep smile as if there were still many hidden things remaining in Zieghart's Treasury. His current appearance looked once again like the head of house of Zieghart who had achieved many great feats. "Understood. I'll definitely visit." Raon said he would frequently visit the Lord's Manor to Glenn while drawing a faint smile. "I'll remember those words." Glenn nodded while laughing as if pleased. "If you don't come, I'll visit the annex building myself!" He snorted slightly, saying he would go to the annex building even if Raon didn't come. Seeing him say such things, it seemed his internal changes were greater than his external ones. "Of course." Raon showed a similar laugh to Glenn while bowing. "You've worked hard until now." Glenn completely wiped away the smile that had bloomed across his face and raised his chin proudly. "Raon Zieghart. Temporary head of house." He returned to being the head of house again and politely acknowledged the achievements Raon had shown. "Mm..." Raon bit his lip slightly while looking at Glenn who wore even more solemn dignity than before. "Thank you. I too was able to gain good experience by becoming the head of the family." He bowed his head while accepting Glenn's intense aura like a tidal wave with his whole body. "Is that so." Glenn narrowed his eyes like a crescent moon as if pleased with Raon's words. "What will you do now?" He licked his lips, curious about what Raon would do. "I'm going to keep a promise." Raon spread his palm and placed it in front of his chest. "I finally have confidence now." "I see. A promise." Glenn smiled faintly as if understanding the meaning of the promise Raon had made. "Now go on back." He waved his hand lightly as if telling him to go now. "..." Raon gave Glenn one last look of farewell before leaving the audience chamber. "It's become certain." He clenched his fist with hands trembling from Glenn's powerful aura and twisted his lips. "The head of house will absolutely not lose." Today, while clashing swords with Glenn, he felt it for certain. His Martial Prowess had transcended the level of this world. Even if the Heavenly Demon appeared after any kind of Cultivation, he was convinced that Glenn would absolutely not lose. Kuuuung! Raon couldn't contain his excitement from the Fighting Spirit he felt from Glenn and roughly used Footwork as he headed toward the annex building. -Though I don't like it... Wrath frowned. -I also agree with your words. Even that Heavenly Demon bastard won't find it easy to break that old geezer. The guy nodded, saying he had the same thoughts. -However... no. Wrath was about to say something about Glenn but closed his mouth as if thinking it would be inauspicious. 'How dull.' Raon chuckled and patted Wrath's head. 'My mind is finally at ease.' Though temporary, the role of head of house had felt heavy, but he was finally freed, and Glenn had also finished his Seclusion in a state beyond his expectations, resolving all his worries. 'Being head of house is good too, but passing it on wouldn't be bad either.' Having the massive family of Zieghart on his shoulders was glorious but also somewhat burdensome. If Karoon really became stronger in martial prowess while maintaining the conviction he had shown before, passing on the position of head of house wouldn't be bad either. -I think the same! Wrath licked his lips, saying he thought the same about this part too. -You're not someone to rot away in this Human World! 'But I'm human...?' -Whatever! Come to the Devildom! I'll raise you as a true King! The guy drooled, saying he was truly King material. -Huh? Why is there saliva... Wrath blinked, saying saliva came out without him knowing. 'It's probably because of that.' Raon chuckled while pointing at the annex building where smoke was rising from the chimney. Wrath seemed to have automatically drooled at the smell of food wafting from the annex building. -Ah! This smell is definitely my favorite pineapple pizza and butter-grilled shrimp! Plus lamb too... Wrath read out today's entire menu just from the smell. -Quickly! Let's go quickly! The guy pointed at the annex building while pouring out saliva like a waterfall, seeming to have forgotten his dignity as a demon king. 'King of the Devildom...' Raon chuckled while looking at the annex building emanating warm heat and Wrath who was crazy about food. 'It might be interesting?' When everything was over, it might not be bad to briefly go down following Wrath. -I don't care about the Devildom or being King! Run over there right now! '...' * * * Raon was sitting in the annex building's garden writing something. He seemed deeply focused, only looking at the book he held in his hands even though Sia and Yua were moving around nearby. "Raon!" Sia couldn't stand it anymore and ran to Raon, sitting in the seat opposite him. "What are you doing all day?" She narrowed her eyes, asking him to tell her what he was doing. "There's a promise I need to keep." (E/N: N-No way...Really? That?) Raon smiled at Sia and looked at the book again. The paper was smooth and clean as if he was making a new book himself. "A promise? What promise?" Yua also licked her lips, curious about what promise Raon was keeping. "I don't remember exactly when I made the promise, but it's been quite a while. Now it's time to keep it." (E/N: Only 500 chapters ago or so) Raon said it was very late while scratching his head. "You have times when you're late with promises, Palace Master?" Yua blinked, saying this was the first time she'd heard such a thing since getting to know Raon. "Right. Raon never breaks promises!" While both Yua and Sia were sitting still, suddenly a clear female voice was heard from thin air. -Kheheheup! Wrath screamed and turned around. -Damn it! She came again! The guy seemed to recognize who it was just from the voice and held his head. "You kept your promise to save me too!" It was Evelyn. Whether she had been watching Raon from the beginning, she quickly opened a dimension and appeared, embracing Raon's shoulders. "I, I'm also human, so there are times when I break promises." Raon forcibly pushed Evelyn away while slightly lowering his eyebrows. "Besides, this promise is special. I finally have confidence now." He nodded, saying that unlike ordinary promises, this one required certain elements. "Hmm." Sia made a small humming sound while looking at Raon writing the contents of the book. "I don't know what kind of book it is. You're drawing pictures of the same person, and there are strange letters too..." She scratched her cheek as if she didn't understand well. "This looks like a Martial Arts Manual?" Yua glanced at the book Raon was making and opened her mouth wide. "Martial Arts Manual?" Sia blinked as if seeing a Martial Arts Manual for the first time since she had learned all martial arts directly from people until now. "That's right. This person is holding a sword!" She clapped her hands, saying she now understood why he was drawing pictures of people. "Haah..." Evelyn let out an excited breath while looking at Raon. "Our Raon draws well too..." She slightly bit her red lips while looking not at Raon's drawing, but at his back muscles that appeared when he moved his hands. -Kyaaaak! Wrath screamed in horror at Evelyn's breath. "Mm..." Raon continued filling in the contents of the book while holding his arm that was getting goosebumps because of Evelyn. "Who are you going to give this Martial Arts Manual to? Don't tell me it's for me?" Sia drew a subtle smile as if expectant. "If older sister needs one, I'll make a different Martial Arts Manual for you. This manual's owner has already been decided." Raon apologetically but firmly shook his head, saying the manual's owner had been decided long ago. "Who is that owner?" Evelyn stroked her fingernails as if she would kill that person if it were a woman. "He's coming over there." Raon tilted his chin while keeping his gaze fixed on the book. From the direction he pointed, a man with a massive build like a bull was walking over making thudding sounds. "Hey! Nephew!" Balder Zieghart. The master of True Martial Palace and a master of the Flexible Sword that didn't match his build called out to Raon while energetically waving his hand. "I saw your achievements very well!" He let out a refreshing laugh, saying it had been a long time since they met personally like this. "So what about my swordsmanship?" Balder spread his fingers with his usual fixed greeting asking if the swordsmanship had been created. "It's completed." Raon said the martial arts was completed instead of his usual response to wait, and closed the book he had been writing. "Right. I can wait as long as... huh?" Balder was about to say he would wait but stopped and opened his eyes wide. "Wow, it's completed?" "Yes. This swordsmanship..." Raon lifted up the book with ink still not dry with confident eyes. "Will become the guide that makes you a Transcendent."
