The Reincarnated Assassin Is a Genius Swordsman

Chapter 1338 "Yes...?" Raon blinked his eyes while looking at Alice. "What do you mean by something I would like?" He thought for a moment, but couldn't understand what it meant that something he would like had happened. "You have something you've set as your most important goal so far." Alice raised her index finger and drew a circle. "Drawing strong forces into the Five Kings to achieve complete victory in the war against Eden. I found new friends who would fight alongside us." She clicked her tongue, saying she had found a new force to oppose Eden. "Ah, is that why you went out to sea this time?" Raon narrowed his eyes thinly while looking at Alice's excited expression. "But were there still such forces remaining?" As far as he knew, the named port cities and coastal kingdoms had already declared they would follow the Five Kings. He couldn't predict where a force strong enough for him to like would be. "You're right." Alice nodded her head calmly. "Actually, this time going out to sea wasn't to find new forces, but to get confirmation from existing forces." She rubbed her hands together, saying she had come out to get confirmation from port cities and kingdoms since the war was approaching. "Naturally, there were no big changes. The port cities and kingdoms related to me and you confirmed they would stand on our side in the war." Alice nodded, saying there were no changes in the forces following the Five Kings. "But when I finished all that work and was about to return to the family, I heard an interesting rumor." She clicked her tongue long as if it was very interesting. "An interesting rumor?" Raon slightly twisted his chin while listening to Alice's words. "Yeah. There's a legend about strange people who ride the waves in the western sea." Alice raised her finger, saying it was a very famous story. "I also searched the sea early on when I came to the sea to find that legend, but I couldn't find it so I only thought it was fake..." She raised her voice as if the real part was starting now. "I met those strange people this time." Alice clenched her fist tightly, saying she had really seen people who were only passed down as legend. "A stormy night. Something like dolphins was floating in the sea, so I thought it was normal, but then I suddenly got up. Because smart dolphins never come up to the surface on stormy days." She bit her lips, saying it couldn't be dolphins. "When I focused my eyesight. I could see that what was riding the fierce waves were not monsters or fish, but humans." Alice exclaimed that it was an unbelievable thing. "Riding waves in a stormy sea is certainly surprising, but..." Raon lowered one eyebrow. "Isn't it not that special for Martial Artists?" Even just reaching Master level, floating on the sea and riding waves isn't that difficult. He couldn't understand why Alice, a Transcendent, was so surprised. -Anyway, that woman loses her mind whenever she enters the sea. Wrath waved his hand as if telling him not to mind Alice's story. -She's fine normally, but when she goes to the sea, her head seems to spin backwards like yours. He clicked his tongue, saying he didn't understand why Alice was so crazy about the sea. "That's right. Not just Masters, but even Expert level can ride waves if they get used to the sea." Alice nodded her chin, saying that riding waves wasn't difficult as she said. "As you know well, the South-North Union guys were weak, but they displayed absolute power in rivers or seas." She shrugged her shoulders, saying she knew it well herself. "But those humans were different." Alice exhaled a turbid breath and lowered her gaze slightly. "They weren't simply riding waves, but handling the sea like their own body. Even the storm pushing against the great sea looked like just a gentle breeze before them." She wrinkled her nose bridge, saying you had to see it directly to feel that astonishment. "On top of that, those people are strong. Unlike the South-North Union's riffraff who only get strong in naval battles, their basic Martial Prowess is excellent. Should I call them natural-born Martial Artists?" Alice clicked her tongue, saying she felt the deep scent of warriors from their natural physique and talent. "I chased after them and talked a bit, and their personalities were warriors themselves, and there were many excellent masters too." She tapped the sword at her waist, saying they would be a great help if they participated in the war. "Warriors themselves..." Raon clearly felt what kind of nature that wave-riding tribe would have through Alice's words. Honestly, he felt like he knew how to persuade them. "I'm going to report to father and visit that tribe's island, how about it?" Alice clicked her tongue while looking at him. "Do you want to go too?" She wiggled her hand, saying it would be a great help in persuading them if he went. "What's that tribe's name?" Raon didn't answer immediately and first asked for the tribe's name. "What was it? It meant people who row... Ah!" Alice clapped her hands as if she just remembered. "Viking." * * * "...And so. I'm planning to visit the tribe called the Vikings with Raon." Alice explained what had happened to Glenn standing on the platform and then wiggled her chin. "Viking..." Glenn stroked his chin while sitting on the throne. "It's definitely a name I've heard. They said they were like sea spirits." As befitting the master of the north, he knew about Vikings that most people didn't even know existed. "However, I didn't know they actually existed." Glenn lowered his eyebrows as if he hadn't paid any attention to them at all. "It's understandable that you wouldn't know. The island where they live is deep in the western sea, and they hardly appear in the seas near the Continent." Alice nodded, saying it was natural. "What I saw this time was also said to be them coming out to teach young children." She let out a hollow laugh, saying she was surprised to see trainee-like young children handling the sea as they pleased. "They're certainly interesting beings." Glenn gave a faint smile, saying that Alice's words painted a picture of the beings called Vikings. "Good. Go and come back." He jutted his chin, telling them to go get the Vikings' assistance together with Raon. "I knew you would allow it!" Alice nodded vigorously, saying she was grateful. "However..." It was when Glenn opened his lips again as if he wanted to say something more. "Since the war with Eden is right around the corner, you're telling us to come back quickly, right?" Alice cut off Glenn's words with a snicker as if she knew everything. "You don't need to worry. I'll run Azure Wind at full power and come back as fast as possible!" She waved her hand, saying she wouldn't take up much of Raon's time. "There will be enough time for Raon to do personal cultivation..." "That's not it." This time Glenn cut off Alice's words and showed a benevolent look. "Having personal cultivation time is good, but if you go to such a new place, it's also important to fully enjoy that place. We will never lose in the war even without you two, so don't worry and go experience their way of life." He calmly lowered and raised his eyes as if telling them not to return immediately after persuading the Vikings, but to stay with them a little longer. "Both Raon and you. You've already achieved all the levels you can reach through cultivation. At times like this, more experience would actually be helpful." Glenn drew a gentle smile, saying that exposing themselves to new cultures and environments for new experiences would help them grow into superior humans and Martial Artists. "I will keep that in mind." Raon understood the meaning of Glenn's words and bowed his head heavily. -Ooh! Wrath let out a deep exclamation. -That Nadine bread old geezer said something really good! That's right! If you just hole up in a corner and swing your sword, you'll only become a swordsman of that size! Going out is right! He slightly rolled his eyes, telling him to travel to many places like Glenn said. -Especially Devildom would be good! There are hardly any humans, so everything would be new to you! (E/N: Yes, go to Devildom NOW, stop delaying) Wrath started his Devildom sales pitch even at a time like this, rubbing his hands together. "But have you thought of a way to persuade them?" Glenn narrowed his eyes as if curious about that part. "Since you said they have the scent of warriors, I plan to confront them in the warriors' way." Raon nodded, saying he had thought of a rough method. -Warriors' way my ass. Wrath snorted. -You're probably going to clash head-on to prove your strength. He waved his hand, saying his intentions were transparently obvious. "Is that so." Glenn examined Raon with narrowed eyes. "You definitely seem to be thinking of continuing what I said." He drew a calm smile as if recalling the sparring that took place at the head of house's great training ground. "Yes. I don't know if I can do it or not, but I will try my best." Raon said he would try to walk the path of a true Sword God as Glenn requested and bowed his head heavily. "Good. I will believe in you too." Glenn nodded as if that was enough. "Wow..." Alice gaped at Glenn with her mouth wide open. "Father has changed a lot. It wasn't just your appearance that aged!" She let out an empty breath, saying she didn't know Glenn would say such things. "They say people change greatly when they're about to die, could it be..." "Aunt..." Raon sighed and grabbed Alice's shoulder. "Ah, it's a joke. A joke!" Alice laughed awkwardly and scratched her head. "Why? Should I treat you like before?" Glenn placed his hand on Heavenly Tremor as if he could do it anytime. "Ah, no! I'll be back!" Alice quickly bowed her head as if she absolutely hated the idea, then took Raon and left the audience chamber. "I'll be back." Raon managed the feat of bowing to Glenn while being dragged by the back of his neck by Alice, then left the audience chamber. "Martial Artists living in the western sea." Glenn looked at the audience chamber that had become noisy and then suddenly quiet, then turned his back. He stroked his grizzled chin while looking at the darkening sky. "Then perhaps..." * * * "You've worked hard." Raon climbed onto the platform of Light Wind Palace and looked down. "Even without watching, I can feel how much blood and sweat you've shed in this great training ground." He said he could clearly feel the training and achievements the Light Wind Palace Swordsmen had accomplished and nodded his head significantly. "No sir!" "It was because of the help from Palace Master and the executives!" "Thank you!" The swordsmen rather said they were grateful to Raon, Burren, Martha, and Runaan for providing such training and bowed their heads. "Hmm..." "Wh, why are you suddenly saying such things..." "It's a bit scary?" However, some swordsmen swallowed dry saliva as if they were tense from Raon's sudden praise. "The war is not far away now." Raon looked up at the dark sky with dark clouds and clicked his tongue. "In normal cases, it would be right to keep swinging swords until the war starts, but since you've greatly exhausted both body and mind through much training, it would be better to take rest." He slowly lowered and raised his eyes while suggesting rest, not training, to the swordsmen. "Huh...?" "Re, rest?" "Are you serious?" The Light Wind Palace swordsmen had been thinking of new training but widened their eyes when they heard about rest. "Yes. You've worked hard during this time, so now seems to be the time to recover body and mind through rest. So..." Raon curled up his lips and pointed west. "This time, the entire Light Wind Palace will enjoy vacation in the western sea." He drew a deep smile, saying he had prepared not just rest, but a vacation. "Th, the western sea?" "Gasp!" "Is, is it really true?" "Waaaaah!" "Palace Master is the best!" The swordsmen shouted with joy, blooming with smiles at the sudden surprise vacation. "Uh..." However, Dorian alone wasn't smiling and was trembling his chin. "What are you doing! Praise Palace Master right now! Long live Raon! Long live Sword Sage!" Krein told him to brighten his expression and even raised Dorian's arm while praising Raon. "We depart at dawn tomorrow, so everyone finish your preparations and gather here." Raon left words to look forward to it and turned his back. -Hah... Haah... Graaah! Wrath burst out with an intense exclamation as if he was dumbfounded. -Going to fight with savages living on an island and calling it a vacation, my ass! He trembled his eyes, saying he didn't know the mission would be packaged this way. -You, you bastard, just don't come to the Devildom! 'Huh? Why suddenly? I've heard it so much that now I'm a bit interested...' -Just live here! If you come... Wrath ground his teeth as if he didn't even want to think about it. -Devildom will surely be ruined!
