The Reincarnated Assassin Is a Genius Swordsman

Chapter 1436 "You've really worked hard." Raon bowed his head toward Blade Queen Siera and Warlord Yuber. "And thank you." Upon hearing that the annex building family members, whom he thought he might never see again, were alive, he unconsciously bowed deeply from the waist. "Please don't do this!" "We merely followed our lord's orders." Siera waved her hand with a smile, and Yuber slowly closed and opened his eyes. "But..." After finishing his polite greeting, Raon looked at Siera and Yuber again. "How did you save everyone?" In fact, the reason he had left Siera and Yuber at Zieghart was to prevent attacks from Angels or Eden executives. Honestly, he himself never even thought that the Demonic Dragon of Destruction would be resurrected here. No matter how much he had asked them to protect Zieghart, the opponent was a thousand-year-old Demonic Dragon. He couldn't contain his curiosity about how they had stopped the destruction itself that would collapse Zieghart the moment of its resurrection and saved the people. "It seems you didn't know from your side." Yuber clicked his tongue while looking at the massive hole through which the Demonic Dragon of Destruction had burst up. "In fact, there were already premonitory signs before that monster was resurrected." He narrowed his eyes, saying that the Demonic Dragon of Destruction hadn't been resurrected immediately. "Premonitory signs?" Raon tilted his head while looking at Yuber. "Yes. Didn't you say that disasters surge whenever the Archangels blow the horn of destruction? That was felt here as well." Yuber frowned, saying that the destruction summoned by the Archangels had also affected Zieghart. "However, each time we felt something terrifying stirring beneath this main building." He pressed his lips down tight as if getting goosebumps just thinking about it again. "At first we thought it was an earthquake, but only we could detect that pulsing." Yuber exhaled a heavy breath and nodded. "The more the horn calling destruction sounded, the stronger that pulsing became." He swallowed dryly, saying that later it seemed like the Demonic Dragon's heartbeat was echoing in his ears. "At that time, not just me, but others could also hear the Demonic Dragon's heartbeat." Yuber clenched his fist, saying that everyone in Zieghart was gripped by fear. "I knew from the beginning that it wasn't an earthquake. An earthquake couldn't make my back crawl with goosebumps." Siera gritted her molars, saying she almost dropped her sword for the first time upon hearing the Demonic Dragon's heartbeat. "So we realized it. That the Demonic Dragon of Destruction existed beneath this Zieghart main building." She said that the moment the first horn of destruction was blown and she felt the massive heart's stirring, she immediately sensed that the Demonic Dragon of Destruction existed beneath the Zieghart main building. "So we immediately prepared for evacuation. Of course, that wasn't something we could do alone." Siera smiled brightly as she looked at the person behind Raon. "Yes. There was a lot of help." Yuber took up Siera's words as he looked at Evelyn. "Me...?" Evelyn blinked, as if she didn't know what they were talking about. "I couldn't do anything else though?" She shook her head, saying she was busy flying around the Cameloon battlefield. "You must have been busy fighting there. However..." Siera smiled brightly as she pushed away the ash that covered the floor. "There was the magic circle you left here." She curled her lips up, saying they were able to prepare people throughout Zieghart using the magic circle Evelyn had created while communicating with the magicians of Zieghart's internal magic tower. "Ah!" Raon let out a low exclamation. 'I see. Then it makes sense.' Evelyn had persuaded the magicians of the magic tower to draw transportation magic circles throughout Zieghart in order to follow him wherever he was. It seemed they were able to prepare everyone in various locations using her magic circles. However, there was still a point that remained questionable. "The people of the family wouldn't have immediately believed you two and moved, would they?" Raon clicked his tongue briefly. There weren't many people in Zieghart who knew the identities of the Blade Queen and Warlord. It was somewhat unexpected that their instructions spread quickly and everyone prepared. "That..." "There was help there too!" Siera interrupted Yuber's words and stepped forward. "Your lord's mother Lady Sylvia, the Black Market's Denning Rose, and even Gambling Monster." She counted on her fingers as she mentioned the names of those who played the biggest role in the evacuation. "Lady Sylvia took up her sword, saying she trusted us whom our lord believes in. When she spoke, the Zieghart executives also moved. With Gambling Monster adding his voice as well, even the Council of Elders raised their voices, and all Zieghart warriors followed our instructions." Yuber nodded, saying Sylvia and Gambling Monster were tremendous help. "For the evacuation of the residents, we received help from the Black Market. When we told Denning Rose, everyone moved so fast their legs couldn't be seen, as if they had received a king's order." Siera blinked, saying she hadn't realized Denning Rose's influence was that great. "Honestly, it was quite dangerous due to lack of time, but fortunately we were able to evacuate most of the personnel." Yuber sighed, saying it really was by a hair's breadth. "No! Not everyone had evacuated when the Demonic Dragon was actually resurrected." Siera let out a short sigh and waved her hand. "When the Demonic Dragon's gaze turned toward the people, this guy and I stepped forward." She approached with a bright smile. "Thanks to us drawing the Demonic Dragon's attention, we were able to send all remaining personnel beyond the mountains just before the magic circle completely shattered!" Siera proudly puffed out her chest, saying they had played the biggest role. "Honestly, it was so hard to cut through its scales that I thought I was going to die, but suddenly it flew south." She nodded, thinking that Raon or Glenn had done something. "I see..." Raon let out a sigh of relief and nodded. "Thank you once again." He bowed even deeper than the first time, saying he was truly grateful. -No, everyone's alive, isn't that enough! What's there to be so curious about! Wrath ground his teeth as if he found it absurd. -Did you hope that your family would all die? 'That's not it.' Raon clicked his tongue briefly. 'Honestly, I thought more than half were dead, but when I heard most were alive, I wondered if it was Derus Robert's scheme.' He had suspected that Derus Robert had deliberately kept the Zieghart people alive, but listening to Yuber and Siera's words, that wasn't it. It seemed that most personnel were able to survive because those who remained at Zieghart moved with their utmost effort. "Then are the others beyond North Grave Mountain?" Raon looked at the low hill-like thing that had been North Grave Mountain and lowered his chin. "Yes. Honestly, we couldn't go far, so we sent them to the northern sea where they could cool off from the Demonic Dragon's heat." Yuber nodded, saying it was an unavoidable choice even if the path would be blocked. "We were hiding here waiting for any potential enemies." Siera clicked her tongue, saying she had entrusted the personnel to Sylvia and tried to block the path here. "I see." Raon nodded as he listened to Siera and Yuber's words. If the Demonic Dragon spread its wings just once, catching up to people who had left a day before wouldn't be difficult. It might have been better to flee and hide on the opposite side. "We also have many stories we want to hear..." "We'll listen to all of that together." Yuber interrupted Siera's words and turned around. "Let's go. I'll guide you to where everyone is." * * * "Raon! Are you alright?" "Son!" "Raon!" When they went near the North Sea behind North Grave Mountain, Sylvia, Edgar, and Sia burst out from the forest covered with eternal snow. "Mother, older sister..." Raon nodded as he caught Sylvia and Sia who had run to him. -Mom! You were alive! Wrath also sniffled while clinging to Sylvia's head as if delighted. "You don't call for me..." Edgar clicked his tongue as if feeling left out. "Even if it were me, I wouldn't look for you." Rector snorted at Edgar. "Hmm..." Edgar clicked his tongue as if regretful. "Young Master!" "You're safe..." "I'm truly relieved." Helen, Judiel, and the other maids from the annex building who had been with him since childhood also said they were relieved, shedding tears drop by drop in front of Raon. "I'm glad everyone is safe." Raon nodded as he looked at each face he could immediately recall even with his eyes closed. "Mom!" Martha discovered her mother and ran as if flying. "Dad, Mom..." Runaan also discovered her mother and father and ran with lighter steps than usual. All the Zieghart swordsmen who had participated in the war transformed their hope that they had never let go of until the end into joy as they embraced their families, friends, and comrades. "You guys!" Even Balder, with tears welling in his eyes, ran to those who had remained in the True Martial Palace. "Huh..." Karoon also let out a short breath while looking at the Central Martial Palace personnel. Though he didn't express it, he seemed to have been very worried too. 'That's fortunate.' Raon let out a sigh of relief as he watched the scene. 'If these people had died, irreversible problems would have grown.' If the people who remained in the house had died, it wouldn't have ended with just a loss of forces. It would have had a huge impact on the morale and spirit of the remaining members, so he was worried, but fortunately, it seemed that wouldn't happen. "You're safe." Denning Rose, who was the disciple and named successor of the Black Market leader, approached and bowed her head. "I heard you provided great help with the emergency evacuation. Thank you." Raon politely bowed his head to Denning Rose. Though he was aware of his position as head of house, he definitely wanted to express his gratitude. "Not at all. It was something that had to be done." Denning Rose waved her hand, saying it was nothing special. Deep burn marks could be seen carved into one of her arms. "That..." "They're all on our side too, what's there to thank them for!" When Raon was about to ask about Denning Rose's burns, Gambling Monster approached waving a liquor bottle. "Like that child said, we did what had to be done!" He waved his hand, telling him not to show such a humble attitude. "I heard that you also acted swiftly, General Manager. Thank you." Raon bowed his waist toward Gambling Monster as well. "Hmph! When our home is collapsing, of course we should take off our shoes and run! And it was none other than the Blade Queen and Warlord who said it." Gambling Monster clicked his tongue, saying he couldn't help but believe them. "But..." He narrowed his eyes slightly while bringing the liquor bottle to his mouth. "Where is the head of house?" The Gambling Monster blinked, saying the person who should be seen first was missing. "..." At his words, the swordsmen who had been enjoying reunions with their families all fell silent simultaneously. "The head of house..." Raon looked at the smiling people and let out a deep breath. "Has ascended." He bit his lip as he said that Glenn had left this world and ascended to the heavens. "In today's war..." Raon calmly accepted the gazes of the Zieghart people focused on him and explained what had happened in the war. "The head of house..." "I see." "That person really until the end..." The Zieghart swordsmen seemed moved by Glenn's sacrifice and shed deeper, heavier tears than when the swordsmen had returned. "Father. I..." Sylvia knelt down in place as if she still had more things she wanted to say to Glenn. "Why is everyone sad!" Gambling Monster frowned, asking why they were crying and ruining the taste of his liquor. "The head of house. No, not anymore. That old geezer's lifelong wish was ascension! He saved everyone and even achieved ascension, so why are you sad! We should be finding our own way to survive!" He snorted, asking why they were sad for someone who achieved everything he wanted before leaving. "Huh...?" Dorian, who was crying, blinked his eyes. "N-now that I think about it, that's true?" He tilted his head, saying Gambling Monster's words seemed right. "Stupid! It's still sad though! We can't see him anymore!" Krein kicked Dorian's butt, asking how his emotions could change so quickly. "You two, cut it out." "Fighting even in this situation." "Those two anyway." A smile appeared on the lips of the swordsmen whose faces had been tinged with sadness due to the two's conversation. "Gambling Monster's words are correct." Raon nodded with a gentle smile. "It's good to honor the departed head of house, but we should first think about the people who survived." He turned his back while accepting the gazes of those who looked only at him. "First, we need to find a new home." "Home? That's obvious, but is there a place for all these people to go?" Martha blinked as if asking where they would go. "There is." Raon said there was no need to worry about the location and looked toward Sylvia. "A place that's spacious enough for all these people and safe as well." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT NOTE: Considering the current climate in the translation scene and recent shutdown of several major platforms, the schedule for this novel will slow down to 10 chapters every 2 week...if no further incident happens. At the rate things are going, I feel before 2026 ends it might be impossible to continue this translation, but we will see how it goes. Personally I wish they just gave a proper legal way for people outside Korea to enjoy their novels.
