The Reincarnated Assassin Is a Genius Swordsman

Chapter 1339 Raon narrowed his eyes thinly as he watched the prow of Azure Wind breaking through the waves as it advanced. 'Now the war really isn't far away.' The war with Eden was approaching right in front of them. It seemed like they needed to return to the family immediately after finishing this mission and enter war preparations to not be late. 'It would be good if there were good results.' In fact, he had a strong desire to give the Light Wind Palace Swordsmen time to recharge, so there was no absolute need to make those Vikings participate in the war. However, if they were truly warriors who could handle the sea like their own body as Alice said, they would be of great help in naval battles, so he wanted to bring them if possible. 'Besides Eden. No, because there are guys more dangerous than Eden.' Raon frowned as he looked at the black shadow-like sections reflected intermittently in the blue sea. 'Archangels and Angels.' Although he had killed Raphael and several other Archangels, powerful Archangels including Uriel still remained on the continent. Since they didn't know what those guys would do, maximizing the Five Kings' military strength was the best way to prepare for war. -Archangels... Wrath clicked his tongue briefly while looking up at the vast sky over the sea. -There's no need to ask. Those guys will definitely appear in the war with Eden! He frowned, saying the Archangels would definitely interfere in the war between the Five Kings and Eden and cause chaos. 'I think the same.' Raon calmly nodded his head. 'Because that's the only chance left for them.' It might have been different during the era of the Six Kings and the Five Demons. Now that even Derus was dead and only Eden remained, the only way for the Archangels to achieve their goals was to interfere in the war with Eden. 'The Heavenly Demon too...' Raon let out a low groan as he recalled the crimson-black eyes of the Heavenly Demon he had seen when he visited Eden's main base. 'There's a high possibility of forming an alliance with the Archangels.' In fact, there was no need to say they would form an alliance. The Archangels and Eden had been allies from the beginning since the Archangels were originally Derus's forces. No, more than that, the Heavenly Demon was someone who wouldn't care if the continent perished or if the heavenly realm collapsed the continent as long as he could have a life-and-death duel with Glenn, so it was natural he would accept the Archangels' assistance. 'Many people will die.' Even though the Zieghart swordsmen had become stronger, the enemies were a group of madmen who used extraordinary methods and Angels who regarded humans as insects. He could see enormous casualties would occur, so he wanted to reduce that number as much as possible. -So that's why you're moving. Wrath nodded his head, saying he understood completely. -I can also predict how you'll cook and boil that Viking tribe. He chuckled, saying he knew it all. 'That's right.' Raon drew a gentle smile. 'As Aunt said, if they're people who give off the scent of warriors, clashing physically is the best method.' It was as Wrath expected. From ancient times, warriors' greetings had always been clashes of martial will. If they went directly to the Viking island and competed in martial arts, they could become friends with them. 'However, this time there's no time, so I'll go a bit more aggressively.' He grinned, saying he would proceed more rigidly than usual. -Aggressively? Wrath blinked blankly. -You're already aggressive normally! What the hell are you planning to do? He let out a low groan, saying he couldn't predict it. 'Moreover, if we lose the war, no matter how much they're a tribe living in the middle of the sea, they'll have no choice but to die.' Eden's purpose was to revive the Demonic Dragon of Destruction, and the Angels' purpose was the extermination of humans. Since both wanted to kill or dominate humans, just explaining that reason would be a great help in drawing the Vikings in. 'After that...' Raon was thinking about the plan after drawing the Vikings into the war. "Um..." Krein approached him and slightly lowered his eyebrows. "Where are we going right now?" He gulped down dry saliva as if he sensed something strange. "I thought we'd enjoy a vacation at the beach, but why are we suddenly taking Azure Wind out to sea? It seems like we've been going for quite a while..." Krein rolled his trembling eyes left and right, seeming very anxious. "Su, surely it's not training instead of vacation, right?" He made eye contact with the other Light Wind Palace swordsmen and slowly parted his lips. "As you must have seen, there are many people at the western beach." Raon clicked his tongue briefly. "Perhaps wanting to relieve anxiety right before the war, there were even more than usual. If we joined them there, neither we nor the tourists could properly enjoy ourselves." He nodded, saying that ordinary people would inevitably be scared if burly people like the Light Wind Palace swordsmen flocked there. "So..." Raon chuckled and raised his finger. "I rented an entire island. So you can play to your hearts' content." Without blinking an eye, he spat out a lie as smooth as silk. "An, an island?" "Wow! He says an island!" "Crazy! As expected of Zieghart's richest!" "Of course the Sword Sage can't play with ordinary people!" The swordsmen nodded vigorously and burst out in relieved laughter as if their ominous feelings had finally disappeared. "Hmm..." Dorian shook his head side to side as if that wasn't it, but didn't open his mouth first. "Hmm..." Martha frowned deeply. "That seems like bullshit?" She tilted her head, saying she couldn't believe Raon's words. "It is a lie..." Runaan calmly stroked her chin as if she had known from the beginning that Raon was lying. "But it's not a bad thing..." She drew a very gentle smile, saying that even though Raon had lied, he was thinking of everyone. "What do you think?" Martha gestured with her chin toward Burren, who was leaning against the mast. "Well?" Burren answered without taking his eyes off Raon. "It doesn't seem to matter either way. We're already on the ship and have departed." He waved his hand as if it didn't matter whether Raon had lied or not. "Huh?" Martha looked at Burren and frowned. "Why are you suddenly like that? Normally you would have been holding your head trying to figure out that guy's intentions?" She slightly turned her head, sensing Burren's change. "Because I've come to understand a bit what's important to me now." Burren crossed his arms and closed his eyes as if he had no intention of answering any further. "Burren..." Runaan gazed intently at Burren with his eyes closed and slightly trembled her fingertips. "Ha! How strange for our Vice Palace Master who is diligence itself." Martha was bursting out in a hollow laugh as if dumbfounded when it happened. Paaaaang! An enormous wave surged up from the prow of Azure Wind. The massive wave stood like a castle wall, blocking Azure Wind from advancing further. "Hueeoook!" "Wha, what!" "What suddenly..." The Light Wind Palace swordsmen screamed in surprise at the suddenly rocking ship. However, the crew aboard Azure Wind looked at the sea wall blocking the ship with calm eyes as if they had expected the current situation. "We've arrived." Alice grinned and headed toward the prow. "I didn't know our nephew was that good at lying. I almost fell for it myself." She said it was impressive and patted Raon's shoulder. "Because I've done it a lot." Raon let out a gentle laugh while looking at the wall erected in the sea. "Huh...?" Krein trembled his chin as he watched that scene. "No, it's not true, right?" He rolled his eyes quickly as if he absolutely didn't want to believe it. "Well, it's not that it's not..." Raon was about to answer Krein's words with a smile when it happened. Kugugugugu! Shadows like demon horns cast over Azure Wind's deck. Looking up, men wearing helmets embedded with Sea Buffalo horns stood atop the barrier erected on the sea. The eyes revealed beneath their helmets were sharp like sharks, and the beards growing on their chins were tough like rope, seeming like they wouldn't be cut even by swords. In their rock-like hands were axes and hammers rarely used on the continent, which looked harder than iron walls as if they had been struck countless times. The stench of savagery emanated while the smell of sweat from steadfast Martial Artists also seemed to rise together. "Who are you?" The middle-aged man standing in the center gestured with his chin in a chilly voice. "This is a sacred sea where the uninvited cannot enter." He flashed cold eyes as if they could not come any further. "We weren't invited, but there's someone we know." Alice looked up at the Vikings with a smiling face. "Previously at sea..." "We came to verify your martial prowess." Raon cut off Alice's words and stood at the prow. "What...?" The middle-aged man who appeared to be a Viking executive frowned deeply. "Ra, Raon...?" Alice was about to mention the name of the Viking tribe that had invited her but was flustered by Raon's provocation and gaped her mouth. "Vikings are called warriors of the sea and legends. I came to see if that name is real." Raon arrogantly gestured with his chin as if the Viking legend itself was questionable. "Hah..." The Viking executive let out a hollow laugh as if dumbfounded. "You're going to verify if our name is real?" He gnashed his yellow teeth as if he couldn't contain his anger at Raon's incredibly arrogant words. "Let's kill him right now!" "He's a guy I don't like from his face!" "If we bury him in the sea here, he'll die without even making a sound!" The Vikings standing behind ground their teeth, saying they should bury not only Raon but everyone aboard Azure Wind in the sea. "What are you?" The Viking executive conversely frowned at Raon as if asking whether he was qualified to prove the Vikings' martial prowess. "I am Sword Sage Raon Zieghart. One who inherits the will of the Destructive King of the North." Raon calmly stated the title of Sword Sage and revealed tranquil eyes. "A war that will destroy the continent is about to happen, so why are those who call themselves warriors hiding in this corner of the sea?" He narrowed his eyes while voicing the doubt he had harbored since hearing about the Vikings from Alice. No matter how hidden the Vikings were, they couldn't have failed to sense the ominousness of the war about to unfold. "Prove your martial prowess and show you have the qualifications to stand on the battlefield." As soon as Raon saw the Vikings, he voiced his purpose for coming here and grasped the sheath of Heavenly Drive. Gooooooo! From the terrifying aura rising from beneath his feet, the massive sea wall the Vikings were riding began to shake as if it would collapse. "Wha, what!" "Why is the Sea Spirit Wall!" "Th, that human, what the hell..." The Vikings broke out in cold sweat and stepped back, seemingly shocked by Raon's absolute aura. "..." The Viking executive also bit his lips until they bled as if shocked by Raon's aura, but he endured in place even while his legs trembled, seemingly due to his pride. "Destructive King of the North..." He repeated the title Destructive King of the North as if he knew Glenn Zieghart's name. "If you have no intention of explaining your existence or proving your martial prowess..." Raon looked at the Viking executive, meaning for him to decide directly. "I'll return just like this." With those words, he drew Heavenly Drive. The silently raised sword fell gracefully and split the sea barrier the Vikings were standing on in half. "Aaaaaah!" "A, a monster..." "A young... no, how does such a young guy have such martial power..." The Vikings trembled their lips in shock once more at Raon's martial power. "Knut." The Viking executive muttered briefly. "What?" Raon didn't understand the Viking's words and lowered his eyebrows. "It's my name. Since you revealed your name, it's courtesy for me to reveal mine as well." The Viking named Knut said he was stating his name since Raon had stated his, then closed and opened his eyes. "Follow me." He lowered the waves that far exceeded Azure Wind and stroked his chin. "Sword Sage Raon Zieghart. I invite you to the land of our tribe."
