The Reincarnated Assassin Is a Genius Swordsman

Chapter 1351 "Someone who can read the tide of war even though the war hasn't started yet..." Glenn stroked his neatly trimmed beard and nodded slowly. "Can you tell me who that is?" He narrowed his eyes as if asking him to name that person. "Someone who can read the flow of the world. However, that rare talent and ability actually hindered her judgment, preventing her from walking the proper path..." Raon looked at Glenn and let out a gentle smile. "I think she's found her place now." He let out a gentle smile as he recalled the woman who had come alone to Zieghart with the confidence of being able to read heaven's flow. "Hmm!" Glenn let out a small exclamation as if he finally understood. "Indeed, if it's now, she might have changed." He nodded, saying this seemed like the best moment to visit her. "Huh?" Sheryl tilted her head in confusion. "Who is that?" She blinked her eyes as if she had no idea who they were talking about, even after hearing Raon's words. "Heh heh heh." In contrast, Roenn chuckled knowingly as soon as he received Raon's hint, saying he knew who that person was. "You know?" Sheryl approached Roenn and offered her ear, asking him to tell her if he knew. "Ah, I know too." Alice lightly clapped her hands. "The one whose name was mentioned together with mine?" She licked her lips as if this would be interesting. "Why am I the only one who doesn't know!" Sheryl frowned as if frustrated. "Lord Roenn! Please tell me who it is too!" She waved her hands, asking him to speak quickly. "Heh heh heh!" Roenn didn't give an answer and just laughed again this time. "No! Someone's going to die of frustration..." Just as she couldn't stand the frustration anymore and was about to headbutt Roenn. "Thespian Emperor." Raon spoke the Thespian Emperor's alias toward Sheryl who was below the platform. "The Thespian Emperor has the ability to read heaven's flow. The reason she came alone to Zieghart was because she had confidence that she wouldn't die after seeing that heaven's flow." He spoke of the Thespian Emperor's ability while recalling when she had come to Zieghart before. "The Thespian Emperor continued to read heaven's flow and deal with various situations after that. However, because she relied too heavily on heaven's flow, she eventually reached a point where she couldn't move if she couldn't read heaven's flow." Raon slowly opened his eyes as he recalled the Thespian Emperor's broken gaze, which was different from when he first saw her. -Huh...? Wrath tilted his head as if something was strange. -She broke because of you. You recklessly disrupted heaven's flow... 'I just moved to survive.' Raon pushed away Wrath who was frowning and looked at Glenn again. "I previously visited the Thespian Emperor again and helped her get back on her feet when she was broken. Since she also expressed her intention to participate in the war on the Five Kings' side together with the Queen of Swords, I think it's time to meet her now." It seemed like a good idea to visit both of them to see how much the Thespian Emperor and Queen of Swords had changed, and whether she could read heaven's flow again. "I see." Glenn nodded as if he understood Raon's intention. "Are you thinking of going right away?" "Yes. Since there's no time to hesitate, I'm thinking of departing immediately." "Alright. Go and come back. However..." He looked at Raon intently before slowly rising from his throne. "Give me some time today." * * * Raon stood facing Glenn in the head of house's great training ground. "During the short time you went to the Viking island..." Glenn looked over Raon's entire body before narrowing his eyes. "It seems something has changed again." He stroked his chin, saying that although he couldn't express it precisely, something about him seemed to have changed. "Yes." Raon nodded calmly. "I was able to feel a little about what path I need to walk." "Is that... referring to the path of the Sword God?" Glenn's eyes widened as he asked if Raon had felt the path of the Sword God that he had spoken of before. "The path of the Sword God..." Raon exhaled deeply as he recalled the First Patriarch's sword that was carved beneath the waterfall. 'That was a sword that split the world.' The First Patriarch tried to end the fight with the undying Anima using his sword. A sword that could change the laws of this world. If one was to be a Sword God, it seemed they should reach that level. "Yes. I intend to walk the path of the Sword God." Raon clenched his fist as he felt that the First Patriarch's sword and the Sword God that Glenn spoke of were heading toward the same path. "I see." Glenn let out a deep smile as if he was pleased that Raon had decided to take the path of the Sword God. "You will be able to do it." He nodded grandly, saying that Raon could become the true Sword God that he himself could not achieve. "The fact that you cut down the possessed Heavenly Demon was probably because your will had changed." Glenn narrowed his eyes, saying that if that weren't the case, no matter how possessed the Heavenly Demon was, Raon absolutely couldn't have cut him down. "Thank you." Raon felt his heart tremble at Glenn's sincere praise and bowed his waist. "Your sword has changed as well. The willpower that you only wielded on the surface has now become one with your sword and soul, burning intensely." True to being a martial artist who had reached the pinnacle of absolutes, Glenn immediately understood the changes in Raon's sword. "One sword." He drew Heavenly Tremor first and extended his right foot forward. "Show me what sword you pursue with a single swing." Glenn flicked his hand, saying this would be the last lesson before the war. "It's not organized yet." Raon shook his head, saying he couldn't yet envision the sword he pursued. "Because it's not organized, I want to confirm it." Glenn let out a gentle smile as if it was fine. "After finishing the organization through me, extend the completed sword toward the enemy." He waved his hand, saying to swing the completed sword not at him, but at the enemy. "Then..." Raon showed neither humility nor arrogance as before. He simply drew Heavenly Drive as if he had done it his whole life and aimed it at the enemy before him. "I'm going." Raon held his deep breath and extended his left foot forward. He pushed off the ground with sensitive toes that could feel even grains of dirt and charged toward Glenn. Heavenly Drive in his grasp heated up red as if it would burst into flames. Wooooooong! The violently vibrating blade of Heavenly Drive curved gracefully, taking on a mysterious technique that cut both heaven and earth simultaneously. The First Patriarch's final sword that Raon had seen on the Viking island. Fragments of the world-splitting sword unfolded after a thousand years. Hwaaaaaaaa! Glenn rolled his lips upward as he watched Raon charging toward him. Golden sword strike. The golden radiance from the First Patriarch's legend was wrapping around his grandson's sword and body. It was both sacred and beautiful, with added solemnity and weightiness. "It's certainly different." Glenn nodded seriously as he felt that Raon's sword could transcend the concept of nothingness. "My role here is..." He exhaled a cold breath and raised Heavenly Tremor. "To break the wings of the great bird." His role was to break Raon's current wings and help bigger wings grow so that he could fly in wider and higher places. Kwaaaaaaaang! As Raon's sword clashed with Glenn's sword, red lightning and golden sparks crossed, creating two trajectories that would split heaven and earth. Whooooo. All the sand laid beneath the great training ground rose up and scattered throughout Zieghart, revealing the floor made of Whibaek stone, the hardest stone on the Continent. On the ground made of layered stones, two massive sword marks that could never be connected remained. The lightning-like bent sword mark split the earth to the very end, but the burning, glowing sword mark couldn't completely cut through the Whibaek stone and the heat broke off midway. Naturally, it was Raon's complete defeat. "......" Black blood flowed from Raon's tightly pressed lips. "Thank you for the teaching." He parted his lips very slowly as if even speaking was difficult. "Yes." Glenn rolled his lips upward seeing that the light in Raon's eyes hadn't died. "It was a good sword. Next time, fly higher and farther. When that time comes..." He clenched his fist while looking up at the clear northern sky. "There will be no one above you." Glenn nodded as if certain that Raon would rise to the highest position. -That's not right! Wrath shook his chin vigorously, saying absolutely not. -This king will never lose to this guy! The guy gritted his teeth, saying that even if Raon flew higher, he would still be below him. "If the war ends, let's have a drink together." Glenn seemed to be confident of victory in the war through the current Raon as he promised a drinking session. "Because I have something to say to you." He drew a gentle smile, saying he had something he must tell Raon. "That's good." Raon smiled gently as he looked at Glenn's kind eyes. "I also have something I definitely want to say to you, Head of House." "Good. I'll be waiting for that day." Glenn waved his hand as if telling him to go now and left the great training ground. -Huh? Wrath looked at Raon with his mouth agape. -Your heart just shook as if it would fall out. What on earth are you trying to say? The guy blinked as if wondering if there was something even he didn't know. 'It's something you must hear too.' -This king too? 'Yes.' Raon clenched his trembling hand and bit his lip slightly. 'I really wanted to tell you and grandfather.' -What is it! Tell me now! I'm curious! Wrath wrinkled his nose bridge, demanding to be told immediately. 'Sorry, but I can't.' Raon firmly shook his head. 'Only when I can cast off myself after the war ends...' He lowered his chin as he pictured his past life self and current self in sequence. 'Then I'll have the confidence to speak.' * * * "You're still the same." Thespian Emperor Ariel let out an empty breath as she looked at Raon standing politely in front of her desk. "To ask me to read heaven's flow as soon as we meet, you have no manners as an ally." Even as she said he had no manners, she didn't erase the smile that lingered at the corner of her mouth. "I have other things to say as well..." Raon calmly closed his eyes and then opened them. "But that reason is the biggest for now. There are few people who read heaven's flow as well as you do." While there are very few people in the world who can read heaven's flow, the Thespian Emperor is especially unique among them. Since she even has the ability to interpret heaven's will, there are almost no people who can read the world's flow as well as she can. "Ha, I received praise, but I don't feel particularly good about it." The Thespian Emperor let out a short sigh. "What are you talking about? Praise from the Sword Sage isn't common." Queen of Swords Brigitte narrowed her brow as if she wanted to hear Raon's praise herself. "Sword Sage..." The Thespian Emperor let out a small exclamation as she looked at Raon. "You've truly achieved incredible achievements in the meantime. In fact, even that title is insufficient." She shook her head, saying she thought it was unbelievable even while hearing news about Raon. "Since such a Sword Sage has said he wants to see my heaven's flow, I suppose I should at least make a move." The Thespian Emperor pulled out a book from her thigh. "Actually, I don't really like long chatter either." The cover of the book she pulled out had the sun and moon drawn on it, and emitted different colors depending on the viewing angle. "Let's start right away."
