The Reincarnated Assassin Is a Genius Swordsman

Chapter 1349 "Hueook!" Dorian let out a thin breath with his face pressed against the deck. "Why, why..." He sadly closed his barely open eyes, saying he didn't understand why this had happened. "Damn it..." Martha lifted her sword with trembling hands. "Th, this isn't really a mission, is it? It's incomparably harder than when we were with the Vikings!" Her voice was cracked as if she was very exhausted. "Really." Burren straightened his bent back and let out a sigh. "It doesn't let us lower our guard." He swept back his hair wet with sweat and seawater as if it was difficult. "Huu..." Runaan closed her eyes deeply then opened them. "Sleepy..." She also seemed to have consumed much stamina as she blinked her sleepy eyes repeatedly. "Kuuuung..." "Ugh!" "S, save me!" "I feel like throwing up... Ueeek!" The other Light Wind Palace swordsmen were either retching on the deck as if they were dying or had collapsed and couldn't get up. "So..." Krein glared at the bow while grinding his teeth so hard they made a grinding sound. "Why did you provoke that person! Why didn't you just go quietly!" He glared at Alice, who had provided the cause for this situation, more than the person who had started it. "Nooooo..." Alice grabbed her head while standing at the bow. "I did say I was bored, but..." She looked straight ahead while grinding her teeth so hard they made a grinding sound. "Did you think I'd play this rough!" Alice screamed at Raon, who was crossing the sea while riding on Haerang's head, shouting that it was too much. "Violent, you say." Raon calmly shook his head. "This is just the beginning." He smiled slightly while saying they hadn't even properly started yet. "N, not even started?" "We're already dying...?" "Wh, what is that person really..." "He's become even more insane than when he came before!" Even the Azure Wind's crew members, who had been barely holding on, trembled their limbs saying they wanted to run away. "Look! Our people are saying they're dying too!" Alice waved her hands as if telling him to stop. "And I also..." "Aunt started it, but I said I would finish it." Raon said absolutely not and sat on Haerang's head. "Start again." He said please while stroking Haerang's forehead. Uwuwuwuwuwu! Haerang seemed pleased by Raon's touch and let out a resounding roar while raising his sea-colored mane. Kwaaaaaa! The creature read Raon's willpower and moved his front paws to create a tsunami of tremendous size. Kugugugugugu! As the sea surged greatly, the Azure Wind swayed as if it would capsize even though the tsunami hadn't struck yet. The Azure Wind was quite a large warship, but in front of the tsunami Haerang had summoned, it looked like nothing more than a paper sailboat. "Ahh!" "Cr, crazy..." "Is that a wave? It, it's not a mountain, right?" "When he said 'now it's really starting,' that was real? Usually that's just something people say!" "Because that person isn't an ordinary human!" The Light Wind Palace swordsmen and Azure Wind's crew members swallowed dry saliva while looking at the massive tsunami that would easily swallow their ship. "Don't be scared and hold on to the deck! I'll cut it!" Alice pulled her sword back behind her waist as if telling them not to worry. It seemed she was trying to cut the wave using Spatial Sword like when she hunted the blue dragon Kaivar. "That won't do." Raon read Alice's thoughts and grabbed the scabbard of the Wooden Ring Sword. Piaaaang! The Wooden Ring Sword shot out from its scabbard by itself and became a red beam of light shooting toward Alice. "Interfering again!" Alice twisted her sword that was about to cut the tsunami and deflected the fiercely flying Wooden Ring Sword. Kyaaaang! The Wooden Ring Sword didn't bounce far away even after being hit by Alice's sword strike. After spinning once in the air, it immediately thrust down with Crimson Slash. Kyaaaang! Alice couldn't cut the tsunami this time either and had no choice but to block the Crimson Slash. Kugugugugugu! Thanks to this, the tsunami, which received no interference whatsoever, crashed down toward the Azure Wind. "Daaaaamn!" "Let's cut it!" "Haaaaah..." Martha screamed and rushed forward, Burren drew his sword while regulating his breathing, and Runaan exhaled frosty breath while raising Snow Flower. Tuuuung! It was the moment when the three executives of Light Wind Palace leaped into the air to cut the wave in place of Alice. Kwaaaaaa! Haerang raised his claws as if he wouldn't tolerate cutting the tsunami and launched sharp slashes toward the three people. "That damn mutt!" "Focus on cutting the slashes first!" "Huu!" Burren, Martha, and Runaan also ultimately couldn't cut the tsunami and only managed to block Haerang's slashes. In the end, the massive tsunami that would overturn the sea broke through all interference and struck the Azure Wind directly once again. Kuwaaaaaaaaa! A shock great enough to shake the entire Western Sea occurred, but Haerang controlled his power at the last moment so the Azure Wind wasn't destroyed. It just shook to the extent that one would wonder if it might break. "I, I'm dying..." "I feel like I got hit in the back of the head with a hammer..." "Ugh, Haerang has become too strong." Of course, the swordsmen standing on the Azure Wind were crawling on the deck floor, soaked like wet puppies. "Kuuung..." Alice was still busy blocking Raon's Wooden Ring Sword flying at her with Sword Control in the meantime. "C, cancel!" She seemed to regret her words and screamed at Raon, who was humming while riding on Haerang. "I take back what I said about being bored!" Alice said it was enough now while shaking her head violently. "I'm sorry, but..." Raon yawned long like Alice when she said she was bored and continued speaking. "The Haerang tour doesn't allow leaving during operation." He said they had to continue until they returned to the Continent while strengthening the flames dwelling in the Wooden Ring Sword. "Thank you very much..." Alice bit her lips and deflected the Wooden Ring Sword. "You damn nephew!" She screamed, saying she now understood why the Light Wind Palace swordsmen feared Raon. "I guess I can raise the intensity a bit more." Raon said let's play more while stroking Haerang's head. Kyao. Haerang smiled as if pleased and summoned even more intense waves, crashing them down toward the Azure Wind. -Hah... Wrath let out an empty sigh as if dumbfounded. -So this is what you meant by making it fun... The guy trembled his jaw, saying he never imagined this. 'Among the Angels, there might be those who can handle the sea even better than Haerang.' The Angels he had seen so far all possessed special abilities without exception. Among them, there would be those who could easily handle the sea or wind, so it was right to prepare in advance. -Well, that's true, but... Wrath nodded reluctantly. -Your training is more intense than actual combat! The guy trembled his jaw while looking at Krein, who had almost been swept away to sea by the waves. -I understand you want to make them stronger, but do it moderately! 'Well, they didn't die. And...' Raon slowly closed and opened his eyes at a boringly slow pace. 'Aunt and Light Wind Palace aren't the only ones training.' He guided the Wooden Ring Sword while recalling the First Patriarch's sword he had seen on the Viking island. 'I also...' The Wooden Ring Sword seemed to know his will and emitted an increasingly deeper golden light like the flames the First Patriarch had left behind. 'Am getting stronger.' * * * "Hmm..." Glenn looked down below the platform and let out a low groan. "Why did everyone come back soaked like wet dogs?" He tilted his head while looking at the Light Wind Palace swordsmen whose hair and clothes were all soaked as if they had been caught in a downpour even though it hadn't rained. Even the Transcendents Alice and Runaan were soaked all over, and only Raon was unscathed. "Was the Vikings' martial prowess that strong?" Glenn smacked his lips as if curious about the Vikings' strength. "We did some light training on the way back." Raon shook his head, saying it was nothing special. "Hey, light?" "...That wasn't light!" "Sigh..." Burren trembled his jaw as if incredulous, Martha raised her fist to show her anger, and Runaan just sighed as if she had no strength to speak. "Well, it's not wrong..." Alice also waved her hands weakly as if she had no strength to speak. "Thanks to my nephew who listens to me so well, we had an entertaining trip." She ground her teeth while pushing back her hair that hung limply like wet seaweed. "Thank you for the praise." Raon smiled brightly and bowed his head to Alice. "Th, that guy really!" Alice seemed genuinely irritated and tried to rush at Raon. "You're dead! You slippery little!" "P, please restrain yourself! You can't win anymore!" If Lawaine, the Azure Wind's vice-captain, hadn't stopped her, she really would have drawn her sword in front of Glenn. "Ahem!" Glenn coughed as if telling them to restrain themselves and looked at Raon. "Right. Did the mission to the Viking island go well?" He smacked his lips long as if wanting to hear about Raon's achievements. "Yes. We communicated without problems, and received a promise that all the tribe members would participate in the war against Eden." Raon said it ended well and bowed his head. "Hmm..." Glenn frowned as if he wasn't satisfied even after hearing Raon's report. "Is that all?" He tilted his head as if something was slightly lacking. "The Silent Serpent Swordsman controlled the Viking priest to interfere, but I handled it without problems." Raon nodded, saying there was nothing particularly difficult. "That can't be right?" It was the moment Glenn stroked his chin and flicked his fingers. "That's right! That's not all!" The air split with blue light and Evelyn popped out. "Just as grandfather said, Raon's achievements aren't just that much!" Evelyn shook her head, saying there was much more that Raon hadn't mentioned. "Right?" Glenn didn't scold Evelyn even though she suddenly appeared, but rather rolled his lips slightly as if welcoming her. "Uh..." Raon blinked. Seeing the situation, it seemed that Glenn and Evelyn were now coordinating with each other. "Then you tell us about it!" Glenn's tone was stiff, but his eyes were soft again, filled with great anticipation. "Raon was different from the start. The Viking executives who came to drive us away were instead crushed by Raon's pressure and had no choice but to guide us themselves. Also..." Evelyn recited all the facts one by one as if she had been to the Viking island together. It seemed she had secretly followed them. -Cr, crazy woman! Wrath trembled his shoulders, saying he was getting goosebumps. "The Heavenly Demon tried to take the Silent Serpent Swordsman away, but Raon wouldn't allow it! He immediately drew his sword and pierced the chest of the Heavenly Demon possessing the Silent Serpent Swordsman! It was like seeing the mythical spear that pierces the sun! Moreover..." Evelyn greatly exaggerated what Raon had done, speaking as if he had actually killed the Heavenly Demon. "Kuuung..." Raon was embarrassed and couldn't look at Evelyn, closing his eyes tightly. -H, how does she know all that! Wrath gaped his mouth open as if incredulous. -That stalker! She definitely followed you! The guy trembled his pale blue lips as if he could tell without even looking. "As expected!" Glenn struck the armrest of his throne hard with satisfaction only after hearing Evelyn's explanation. "Ha! He cut down the Silent Serpent Swordsman possessed by the Heavenly Demon?" "He's definitely changed. Now the name Sword Sage truly isn't wasted on him." "The Vikings must have been captivated by his martial prowess and decided to follow our Zieghart instead of the Five Kings." "As expected, the Light Wind Palace Master achieves great success every time he goes out." The Zieghart executives in the audience chamber gasped in amazement at Raon's achievements. "Nephew! I believed in you!" Balder swung his fist in the air, saying he did well. "Impressive." Karoon calmly nodded with his arms crossed as if he expected this. "Khehehehem!" Glenn seemed finally satisfied by the sight of executives praising Raon's achievements, his face flushed red as he coughed repeatedly. "Light Wind Palace Master! You've worked hard!" He said thank you for working hard while drawing a smile so deep it reached his earlobes. "Not at all." Raon said he only did what he had to do while bowing his head. It wasn't modesty. Like how the system gave low points, he truly thought it was just something he could do himself. "No, that's a great achievement you accomplished." Glenn waved his hand, telling him not to be modest. "If there's something you want, tell me." He smacked his lips as if he would grant a wish. "Well, then there's something I'd like to tell the head of house." Raon immediately raised his head as if he had thought of something in advance. "First..."
