The Reincarnated Assassin Is a Genius Swordsman

Chapter 1369 The first casualty of the great war occurred in the Five Kings alliance. "Aaaaah!" A knight of Owen who was standing at the forefront had his throat torn out by a Ghost of Eden wearing a mole helmet that burst out from the ground. "Ha, huh!" "I've never heard of such a thing!" "How could a Master-level knight be defeated in one strike..." Owen's knights and soldiers trembled with their eyes shaking in shock at the mole-helmeted monster's martial prowess and pulled their bodies back. "Haaaah!" Owen's new king Greer didn't retreat, but rather advanced forward. He gripped his sword that let out a fierce cry with both hands and split the mole-helmeted Ghost of Eden in half. "The Silent Sword Master is no more." Greer said words that could dampen the soldiers' morale as he slowly raised his sword. "However, I am here! This Greer will write a legend greater than the Silent Sword Master!" Brilliant light burst forth from the sword he raised toward the sky. "Follow me!" Greer showed no intention of retreating as the king of a knight kingdom and charged forward once more, cutting down a Ghost of Eden wearing an orc helmet. "Follow His Majesty!" "Follow His Majesty!" The knights seemed moved by their king standing at the front and followed the words of Silver Knights captain Borini Kitten, shouting as they charged toward the tsunami of monsters rushing at them like mad. "Ahaha!" Archmage Chamber of Eternal Flame burst into a proud laugh as she watched Greer's back. "The little brat who used to eat his snot has become a real man!" She had been waiting to support Owen when she saw Greer's speech and even clapped her hands as if satisfied. "What will you do? You always said you could beat Greer." Chamber poked Princess Jayna of Balkar who was standing next to her. "I don't want to discuss victory or defeat with allies during war." Jayna calmly shook her head as she looked away from Raon. "I just want to fight a war that can save as many people as possible." She spoke words that seemed influenced by Raon as she spread her hands. Woooooong! The space in front of Jayna vibrated and the monsters charging toward Balkar's magicians were torn in half. She naturally deployed space magic that seemed to definitively inherit Chamber's legacy. "Not bad." Chamber murmured that Jayna did well as she curled up the corners of her mouth. "You too, Greer too, and Raon as well. You're all growing so fast." She calmly nodded her head and took out the lollipop she had been holding in her mouth. "Children grow from the moment adults take their eyes off them." Ogram walked with rough footsteps and flexed his fists. "Just like you and I did." He said that he and Chamber had also grown through such moments as he pulled back his fist with veins bulging. "However, this fight still belongs to us!" Storm-like winds burst around Ogram's extended punch, turning the Ghosts of Eden and monsters before him into powder and shattering them. "I won't lose either!" Garona slapped his own cheek and stood beside Ogram, unleashing punches no less powerful than his. The sight of giants with builds larger than monsters overwhelming the monsters raised the Five Kings alliance's morale even higher. "Waaah..." Mage Tower Master Larian seemed to have little interest in the war despite being one of the Five Kings' leaders. "So that's how you transfer souls!" Her eyes lit up with interest in how the Hermit spread his soul, and she muttered some unknown magic formula. "Whooo!" Ironclad Yuria caught his breath in front of Larian. "Since Tower Master has fallen into that world again, we at least must keep our heads straight! We're the only ones who can extend a helping hand to the alliance members in their moment of danger!" He raised his hand, leading the magic tower's magicians in place of Larian. "Let's give our all so that our names can appear even as one line in Sir Raon's autobiography!" Yuria shouted at the top of his lungs as if that was more important than victory in the war. "Wooooooo!" The magic tower's magicians let out roars even fiercer than knights, as if their fandom for Raon had already built up through Yuria. "Huh?" For the first time, Larian's concentration was broken by that thunderous voice and she looked at Yuria with blank eyes. "Is it true that your wish isn't victory in the war, but to have your name in Raon's autobiography?" She let out an exasperated sigh as if dumbfounded and looked at Raon. Gooooooo! A spine-chilling level of focus could be felt from Raon. As he had declared in front of everyone, he was finding the Hermit's souls scattered across the Cameloon plains one by one and eliminating them with his Soul Sword. 'His martial prowess and concentration are absurd.' In this chaotic situation, finding and cutting down only the Hermit's souls would honestly not be an easy task even for Glenn. But Raon was accomplishing that near-impossible feat without breaking a single drop of sweat. "One line of a name in an autobiography..." Larian chuckled as she watched the magic tower's magicians looking at Raon with burning gazes. "Might not be bad?" * * * 'Right side!' Raon cut down the newly resurrected Hermit on his right and calmly raised his gaze. 'The movements of Eden's ghosts and monsters are stiff.' It seemed the Hermit was indeed Eden's commander, as the Ghosts of Eden and monsters, without his orders, just charged like bison. If the war continued like this, it seemed the Five Kings alliance could win easily. "Let's go too!" Martha stomped her feet as if her hands were itching and shouted to charge at the enemy. "No." Burren firmly shook his head. "Palace Master's orders haven't come down yet." Unlike other military forces, he lowered his hand saying Raon hadn't given orders. "Yes. Right now we wait..." Runaan also said it wasn't time to move yet as she looked at Raon. "As the Vice Palace Master says, Light Wind Palace will stand by." Raon nodded, saying Runaan and Burren were right. "Because our enemy hasn't appeared yet." Light Wind Palace had prepared from the beginning solely to fight the Angels, so now wasn't the time to move. "Tsk. Can't be helped." Martha lowered the hand she was about to grip her sword with, saying she was disappointed but would accept it. "Understood." "Yes..." Burren accepted it as if it were natural, and Runaan nodded modestly, meaning she would listen to whatever he said. "Whew!" "Our enemy is the Angels, right?" "I'm trembling..." The Light Wind Palace Swordsmen swallowed their dry saliva, saying they were even more nervous because they were waiting instead of fighting. 'If it continues like this...' Raon smacked his lips as he watched the war situation flowing favorably for the Five Kings. 'The war might end more easily than expected.' Among the Ghosts of Eden, monsters, and remnants of the Five Demons, there were many strong fighters threatening to the Five Kings. However, without proper command, they weren't able to display their true strength. 'To maintain this state...' Raon sensed the presence of the revived Hermit and thrust his Soul Sword once more. "Kueheup..." As soon as the Hermit revived, his eyes rolled back and he collapsed. "I-impossible. How do you find me..." He had bloodshot eyes as if shocked by Raon's martial prowess that cut down souls the moment they revived. "You said it yourself. That you originally being the World Tree gives you special abilities." Raon calmly nodded. "Befitting those abilities, your soul is also special." He waved his hand, saying that because the Hermit's soul was special and also small, it was actually easy to find. "E-even so, how is that possible in this plain where tens of thousands clash! Even Glenn couldn't do such a thing!" The Hermit ground his teeth, saying it was something even Glenn, who is called the Sword God, couldn't do. "You don't understand." Raon chuckled and tilted his chin. "In this area, I'm above the Head of House." He said he had superior detection ability and delicacy compared to Glenn when it came to Soul Sword, putting strength into his fingertips. "That doesn't make sense... kueheok!" The Hermit shouted that it didn't make sense, and then his head exploded and he died. "If you don't want to believe it, then don't." Raon quietly lowered his sword. "You just need to stay dead." He told him to stay dead like that as he drew out an even sharper Soul Sword. "Wh-what the hell are we supposed to do!" "Why aren't orders coming down!" "If we just keep charging like this, we'll be annihilated!" The Ghosts of Eden and the remnants of the Five Demons screamed that the entire battlefield was being devoured by the Five Kings who were employing flexible tactics, but the Hermit was too busy surviving Raon's Soul Sword to give them an answer. Due to the absence of a commander, Eden's ghosts suffered more than three times the casualties compared to the Five Kings alliance's warriors and died. The monsters' numbers were overwhelming, but so many died that it seemed meaningless. 'If it continues like this...' It was when Raon was narrowing his eyes, searching for the new body of the Hermit. Kyaaaaaaang! A sound sharp enough to make one's chest churn was heard as the Death Sword Spirit roughly struck down Karoon. "Hmm..." Though Karoon was shocked, he glared at the Death Sword Spirit with even sharper eyes as if he would continue fighting. "Sorry, but I'll have to postpone our match for a bit." The Death Sword Spirit nodded slightly and stepped back. "I don't like him, but I can't let things collapse like this." She moved among Eden's monsters, her eyes flashing coldly from within her helmet. "What does that..." It was the moment Karoon was about to move the Central Martial Palace to follow the Death Sword Spirit. Kugugugugugu! Massive sandworms burst out from the ground that had collapsed due to Glenn and the Heavenly Demon's clash, devouring the Five Kings alliance's warriors. "Don't be afraid!" "They're just sandworms!" "Kill them mercilessly!" The Five Kings alliance's warriors charged to rescue their comrades caught by the sandworms. Originally, worm-type monsters were only threatening due to their massive bodies, so the Five Kings alliance trusted each other and poured magic and sword strikes onto the sandworms blocking their path. Peoooooong! Eventually the sandworm's body exploded, spewing green blood in all directions. However, joy did not come to the faces of the Five Kings alliance's warriors. "Aaaaaaaah!" "P-poison!" "The sandworm's blood was poisoned!" The flesh of the warriors and magicians covered in the sandworm's blood was melting away. They tried to protect their skin with aura or mana, but the sandworm's blood seemed to have been turned into magically processed poison and couldn't be blocked at all. "Aaaaah!" "M-medics!" "The damage is too great! Call the priests!" Those who weren't hurt by the sandworms waved their hands requesting support, but threats approached them too. Kugugugugugu! Other sandworms burst out from holes in the ground and began attacking the Five Kings alliance. If killed, poisoned blood would explode in all directions, and if not killed, they would push in with their massive bodies like suicide bombers. "Aah!" "H-how do we..." "If we kill them, blood that melts bones and flesh spews out, and if we leave them alone, they'll grind us up bones and all!" It was when the Five Kings alliance's warriors were swallowing dry saliva and retreating from the enemy's absurd offensive. Kugugugugugugu! The sandworms rushing toward the alliance floated into the air and were cut within space as if paper was being folded. Since their bodies were split in a different space, their blood didn't spread to the ground either. "How bothersome." "Indeed." Archmage Chamber of Eternal Flame and Mage Tower Master Larian killed six sandworms without lifting a finger and lightly dusted off their hands as if it was nothing. Peoooooong! Beast King Ogram also exploded a sandworm with his fist and used his fist wind to spread the poisoned blood toward Eden.
