The Reincarnated Assassin Is a Genius Swordsman

Chapter 1445 A heavy sound of something embedding into the ground shook the training ground. After the brilliant light that had been as radiant as the rising sun subsided, what could be seen was Darkan holding a dark sword. However, there was something different from before. The dark night sword that Darkan had been so proud of was broken in half and embedded in the ground. "Uh... uh...?" Krein trembled his chin as he looked at the blade of the dark sword deeply embedded in the earth. "It's br-broken! The Dark Night Sword God's sword is broken!" He screamed that he couldn't believe what he was seeing with his own eyes. "It's n-not the other way around?" Dorian fell backward in shock. "How could the Dark Night Sword God's sword..." He widened his eyes to the point of tearing after confirming that it wasn't Raon's sword that had broken, but Darkan's sword. "That's right! This is how our head of house should be!" Martha raised her hands saying she had believed all along. "My blood is boiling! I want to fight too!" She looked around saying she wanted to clash swords with someone right away. "As expected..." Runaan blinked calmly. "It's Raon..." She nodded as if she had believed from the beginning that Raon would win. "The Sword Domain has changed..." Burren gasped and trembled his fingertips. "Has he gotten stronger again?" He swallowed dryly saying that Raon's Sword Domain Heaven's Rift had bloomed with a different light than before. "Yes." Karoon responded to Burren's words while closing his eyes and opening them. "It seems the head of house has gained new enlightenment." He drew a faint smile as if he himself had gained enlightenment. "Raon..." Rector looked at Raon's and Darkan's swords in turn, then bit his lips. "Well done. Really..." He nodded heavily as if feeling many emotions surging. "That's right! As expected of our nephew. No, head of house!" Balder let out a shout and stomped his feet loudly. Due to his weight, the blade of the dark sword embedded in the ground tilted. "..." Darkan also looked at the sword blade tilted and embedded in the ground with a hardened expression as if he couldn't believe the dark night sword had broken. "Huuu." Raon lowered Heavenly Drive, which unlike the dark night sword didn't have a single chip missing, and exhaled the breath he had been holding. "When I saw you come looking for me..." Darkan nodded while looking at the broken dark sword in his hand. "I thought I might be defeated." He smacked his lips saying he had an intuition that the odds were fifty-fifty the moment he saw Raon. "I felt sword aura surpassing even the original Glenn Zieghart, so I resolved to give it my all." Darkan clenched his fists saying he had prepared to draw out all his strength to defeat Raon. "But I never dreamed my sword would break." He lifted up the sword hilt that had been broken in half. "To break this dark sword that deflected Glenn Zieghart's lightning and cut through the Heavenly Demon's fighting spirit..." Darkan let out a hollow laugh while caressing the blade of the dark sword that had been cut perfectly as if slicing through paper. "What enlightenment did you gain in just one day?" He bit his lips saying yesterday's Raon and today's Raon felt completely different. "I didn't particularly gain any enlightenment." Raon shook his head calmly while sheathing Heavenly Drive. "I simply felt how to properly utilize what I already have." He lowered his hand from Heavenly Drive saying he hadn't gained martial enlightenment, but had simply learned to use his own power well. "The way to properly utilize what you have..." Darkan repeated Raon's words while grasping his head. "Kahahahahaha!" He raised his head and burst into wild laughter that shook the training ground. "How interesting! After Glenn Zieghart left, nothing interested me except revenge against Derus Robert! But there was still one thing left!" Darkan held up the hilt of the half-broken dark sword and pointed it at Raon. "I will catch up to your sword! Raon Zieghart!" Just as he had declared he would catch up to Glenn, he now said he would chase after Raon's sword and stamped his feet fiercely. "As you wish." Raon calmly lowered his chin, accepting Darkan's challenge. "However, absolutely do not interfere in the fight with Derus Robert." He looked down at Darkan with cold eyes, saying he had no intention of going easy like Glenn did. "I know." Darkan bit his lips deeply. "I'm not an idiot who repeats the same mistakes. However..." He shook his head firmly saying he had no intention of interfering in that matter. "I will have my own revenge against Derus Robert." Darkan bared his white teeth saying he would somehow bring down Derus Robert. "..." Raon narrowed his eyes as he watched Darkan's rough breathing. 'That guy has changed a lot too.' The previous Darkan was like a whining child. He pursued only swords and swordsmanship, paying no attention to other people or values, walking only his own path. But after experiencing this war, he seemed to have felt many things and had become somewhat of an adult. "Huuu." Darkan picked up the hilt and blade of the broken dark sword with his hands. "There's no need for further sparring." He glanced at Rector for a moment, then approached Raon. "What...?" Raon frowned, not understanding Darkan's words. "Sparring during the alliance leader succession ceremony is to prove the new alliance leader's sword and swordsmanship." Darkan twisted up his lips while looking at the broken sword again. "You have proven your sword and swordsmanship through me, so any further sparring would be meaningless." He shook his head saying there was no need for additional sparring with Rector since he had shown the martial prowess he had built up before the swordsmen of the Holy Sword Alliance. "From this moment on, you are the master of the Holy Sword Alliance." Darkan said to please take care of things well and handed the broken dark sword to Raon. "Why this...?" Raon frowned while looking at the dark night sword that Darkan offered. "It's tradition for the current alliance leader to inherit the previous alliance leader's sword. I actually wasn't going to follow it, but..." Darkan forced the broken sword into Raon's hands and chuckled. "Since it turned out this way, it's better to hand it over." He told Raon to take good care of the dark night sword, then turned his back. "Woooooooh!" "A new alliance leader has emerged!" "Sword Sage! Sword Sage! Sword Sage!" "Raon Zieghart!" The swordsmen of the Holy Sword Alliance raised their hands shouting welcome to the new alliance leader. Being true swordsmen who revered the sword as sacred, they seemed to have already been captivated by Raon's swordsmanship. "Hmm..." Raon listened to the cheers of the Holy Sword Alliance swordsmen and grasped the dark sword he had received from Darkan with both hands. 'It's heavy.' Even though it was broken, he could feel the weight of the dark sword as if when Darkan gripped and wielded it. It seemed he had put even his heart into this dark sword. -But this thing... Wrath blinked while watching the scene. -Isn't this just trash disposal? "..." -He's dumping it on you, right? '...Shut up.' * * * "That was amazing." Lawrence let out a hollow laugh while looking at the ground where Darkan's dark sword had been embedded. "Honestly, even seeing Raon overwhelming him, I didn't expect this kind of result." He shook his head saying even if Raon won, he thought it would end after an evenly matched fight, not knowing the sword would be shattered like this. "Same here." Rector sighed and leaned his back against a tree. "No, I trusted Raon even less than you did. I even went to ask Darkan to go easy in the sparring." He let out a pained groan saying he hadn't trusted his grandson Raon at all. "That can't be helped." Zalek, an elder of the Holy Sword Alliance, smiled gently. "No one can make calm judgments in front of their own blood." He nodded saying he understood why Rector had gone to see Darkan. "Raon was strong before and is strong now, but..." Lawrence narrowed his eyes while recalling Raon's fight he had seen today. "Apart from martial prowess, it seems the person himself has become stronger." He stroked his chin saying it wasn't just that his swordsmanship or aura had gotten stronger, but that strength could be felt from Raon as a person. "I think the same." Zalek immediately nodded after hearing Lawrence's words. "Even with my Mind's Eye, I couldn't see anything. That means his unwavering mind and soul are complete." He took a short breath saying Raon's spirit seemed to have become as solid as an iron wall. "No." Rector shook his head at Zalek. "It's not completed yet." He placed his trembling hand on his sword while recalling the words he had heard from Raon and Darkan. "Raon's sword is just beginning now." * * * Raon returned to his training ground after finishing the sparring with Darkan. -To think you broke that idiot's sword! Wrath curled his lips while thinking of Darkan's dark sword that had been broken in half. -A perfect victory! The demon giggled saying it was worth helping. -Today we should have a party to celebrate victory... 'Sorry, but I need to train.' Raon immediately cut off Wrath's suggestion to have a party. -Eh...? Wrath blinked blankly as if dumbfounded. -You're going to train right away? You just came back from sparring? The guy shook his head saying he didn't understand. 'The mental fatigue is great, but I still have energy left.' Raon said there was no problem with training since he hadn't suffered any physical injuries, and picked up his sword. -Nooooo, rest a bit! You even used your Sword Domain! Are you really insane? Wrath frowned asking just how far he was planning to go. 'To the end.' Raon calmly lowered his chin. 'I need to become strong enough to crush Derus Robert no matter what he does.' Even if he couldn't catch up to Glenn Zieghart or the First Patriarch, he needed to become stronger so he could at least reach their feet. -Crazy bastard. You've completely lost it... Wrath let out a hollow laugh saying he really didn't understand. 'And there are parts I need to reflect on.' Raon said that although he won, there were areas where he was lacking, and lowered his eyes. -My head hurts! I've really never seen such a stubborn guy! It was when Wrath was shaking his head saying he was sick of it. "Head of house!" The voice of Chad, the Shadow Agents' Leader, could be heard from the distance. "I found it!" He ran with all his might while waving an old booklet in his hand. "Information about the Dragon of Destruction!"
