The Reincarnated Assassin Is a Genius Swordsman

Chapter 1449 After finishing Raon's succession ceremony, a banquet was held at the Holy Sword Alliance's Holy Ground. The first festival since the Continental War. Whether to forget the difficult cultivation ahead of them or to shake off the sadness of losing precious people, the swordsmen had brighter expressions than usual. "Hey. Did you see earlier?" Krein poked Dorian with his elbow while chewing meat. "That guy's sword split the sky, right?" He let out a hollow breath, saying it looked like the sky was split by Raon's sword. "Of, of course I saw it!" Dorian threw down the fork he was holding in his hand. "It seemed like not just the sky, but even the sun was split..." He swallowed dry saliva, saying he still couldn't believe it. "We often called that guy a monster even normally, but..." Martha said while putting shrimp in her mouth in one bite. "Now he's really become a monster." She shook her head side to side, saying it was absurd. "Raon's sword right now..." Runaan blinked her dull eyes while putting her tongue on bead ice cream. "The concept called sky... can be cut now..." She spoke long, which was rare for her. It seemed to mean she was that surprised by Raon's sword. "Everyone be careful with your words." Burren chewed his molars while deeply furrowing his brow. "After today's succession ceremony, he has received everyone's recognition and ascended to the throne of Zieghart and the Holy Sword Alliance. Show respect even more than you would to the previous Head of House." He let out a cold breath, saying that no matter how much they had been comrades with Raon since childhood, they should now use proper honorifics and show respect. "So, sorry!" "We were thinking like usual..." Dorian and Krein said they had made a big mistake and bowed their heads. "Of course we'll show respect in front of him. We can even lay down our lives. But..." Martha clicked her tongue. "We can at least call him by name when he's not around! They say people even curse the king when he can't see!" She straightened her back defiantly instead. "I don't know..." Runaan ate her ice cream as if uninterested and moved to find the next ice cream. "Sigh..." Burren held his head as if it was hard to handle. "Why do you look so gloomy?" Karoon approached Burren's side while holding a wine cup. "Ah! Central Martial Palace Master." Burren bowed his head to Karoon, who was the vice head of house and Central Martial Palace Master. "The official event is over, so there's no need to call me that." Karoon calmly nodded his chin. "Is that so..." Burren looked at Karoon with a faint smile. "There's no need to rush it too much." Karoon held whiskey in his mouth for a moment before swallowing. "If the Head of House shows dignity befitting a head of house, they'll naturally come to look up to him." He nodded, saying that if it were Raon, he would be able to receive everyone's respect without having to say anything separately. "That's right! I've already felt that dignity!" Balder exclaimed while shaking his huge beer mug. "Thanks to our nephew. No, thanks to the Head of House, I'm also climbing the wall of Transcendence!" He grinned from ear to ear, saying that when he cultivated the sword technique Raon created, the wall of Transcendence was really crumbling. "To make even that idiot into a Transcendent..." Alice stared at Balder intently and then chuckled. "Our nephew is really different indeed." She sent mocking applause to Balder, saying it was an achievement that would go down in history. "Right? Our nephew is indeed amazing!" Balder giggled without knowing that Alice was mocking him. "But..." Krein rolled his eyes left and right before lowering his chin. "Why can't we see today's main character?" At his words, everyone looked for Raon, but his figure couldn't be seen anywhere. * * * "This is comfortable after all." Raon curled up the corners of his mouth while sitting with his buttocks planted on the rock. "Festivals are somehow chaotic." He had given the order to hold a banquet, but since the atmosphere might become heavy if the head of house occupied a seat, he slipped out during a quiet moment. "I should cultivate instead." Raon drew Heavenly Drive to further refine the unfinished swordsmanship that cuts the sky. -Hah... Wrath stretched his jaw long after seeing that sight. -This crazy bastard! Have you really gone mad! The guy grabbed his own hair and shook it. 'Why?' Raon blinked his eyes while his head fell back because of Wrath. -How long has it been since there was a banquet, and you left without even enjoying it! Wrath ground his teeth, saying he was angry that they left behind delicious-looking food. 'You said a king should show dignity befitting that status.' Raon answered briefly. 'I just became head of house and Alliance leader, so if I were there eating the foods you want to eat greedily like a beggar, who would feel any dignity.' He firmly shook his head, saying he was just following what Wrath had said. -Th, that's... Wrath seemed to have nothing to say and chewed his lips repeatedly. -Your words are right, but still, at least eat a little bit of something... The guy wanted to argue but couldn't, and let out a groaning sound as if in pain. 'Later. After everything is over...' It was when Raon was telling Wrath "later." Swish! The sound of footsteps entering the forest could be heard. "Raon! You're here, right?" Sylvia's voice was heard. However, it seemed she hadn't come alone as the presence of familiar people followed. After a moment, the bushes parted and the figures of Sylvia, Edgar, Sia, and the maids who had brought steaming hot food could be seen. "You were here as expected." Sylvia smiled as if she had known it would be so. "Set it up here." She pointed to the front of the rock where Raon was sitting. "Yes." Judiel and the maids spread out a mat in front of the rock and laid out the food on top of it. "I prepared this because I thought you'd disappear without eating." Sylvia drew a faint smile, saying she had prepared by anticipating that Raon would slip out of the banquet. "They're all foods you like. Everyone stayed up all night to prepare them." Edgar said it was food made especially for Raon and grabbed a meat leg first. "Dad! Raon first!" Sia hit Edgar's hand and took out the meat that was caught in his grasp. -Kyaaaaaaaa! Wrath burst out in intense exclamation while looking at the food laid out on the ground. -This is it! Family is all there is indeed! The guy bit his lips with emotion as if he had become a member of Zieghart. "How did you know I was here..." Raon pushed away Wrath who was sobbing with emotion and tilted his head at Sylvia. "You're my son, so why wouldn't I know that?" Sylvia smiled brightly, saying how could a mother not know her son. "That's true." Raon smiled back while looking at Sylvia's smile. 'The person who knows me best...' Sylvia's words were right. After becoming a swordsman, he met countless people and spent a lot of time together, but even now, the person who knew him best was still Sylvia. She had always thought only of him, both in the past and now. 'I should tell mother as well.' The story about reincarnation. He wanted to tell Glenn and Wrath first, but he couldn't bring it up because he lacked courage. However, he definitely wanted to tell Sylvia, Edgar, and Rector. -C, can't we eat a little now? Wrath drooled from his mouth while looking at the food. -There's too much talking... The guy frowned, saying all the food would get cold. "Thank you." Raon ignored Wrath and bowed his head to Sylvia. "Thank you all." He thanked the maids who had prepared the same food he used to eat at the annex building and showed his usual smile. "Young Master. If the Head of House enjoys it, that's all we need." Helen shook her head, saying there was nothing more she could wish for. "At times like this, you can call me like usual. I'm the Young Master of the annex building before being the head of house." Raon chuckled and waved his hand. "Now, everyone..." It was when he was coming down from the rock, saying let's eat together. "Young Master of the annex building. May I also join that dinner?" Rector, who had appeared at some point, raised his hand, saying he wanted to eat together. "Huh? Father?" Edgar slightly frowned as if Rector's appearance was not good. "Why? Don't you like it?" Rector ground his teeth and thrust his face toward Edgar. "N, no! How could that be!" Edgar waved his hands vigorously, saying it absolutely wasn't true. "You're dead..." Rector ground his teeth, saying everything could be seen just from his expression. "I said no! S, Sia!" Edgar pushed Sia, who had taken a seat first, forward. "Grandfather. Yesterday, Dad bad-mouthed you." Sia nodded, saying she heard Edgar speaking ill of Rector. "This bastard really!" "No! I said no!" Rector threw out his fist, and Edgar ran away without looking back. Just as they were about to have a gathering, everyone from the annex building burst into laughter at the sudden game of tag between father and son. -No, I can see the atmosphere is good, but... Only Wrath ground his teeth with a frown on his face. -All the food is getting cold! The guy held his head, saying the food's taste was dropping by 10% every 10 seconds. -Let's eat first and then start! * * * Inside the Holy Sword Alliance's Holy Ground. Raon and Evelyn were standing inside the cave that Lawrence had been using. "Hah..." Lawrence sat slumped on the ground outside the cave and let out a sigh. "Worse than the previous Alliance leader. Now you've even taken my home?" He shook his head side to side, saying it was absurd. "I'm sorry. But this is said to be the safest place to communicate." Raon clasped his hands together, asking for understanding. "Be grateful. The feet of the great Head of House of Zieghart and Leader of the Holy Sword Alliance have touched here." Evelyn snorted and said to be grateful instead. "That really..." Lawrence got up with an annoyed expression. However, he couldn't approach Evelyn. This was because such a lofty aura was emanating from Raon, who stood quietly looking at the air, that it was difficult to approach. 'Really...' Lawrence swallowed dry saliva while looking at Raon. 'He's become a complete monster.' When he saw him during the Continental War, there were some gaps. But the current Raon seemed like even if stabbed with a needle, not a drop of blood would flow, as if the previous Head of House of Zieghart had been revived and brought back. "Evelyn." Raon briefly caught his breath and then nodded. "Yes!" After Evelyn answered cheerfully and stretched out her hand, five geometric magic circles crossed and spread, opening four blue windows in the air. "I am the Head of House of Zieghart and Leader of the Holy Sword Alliance. Raon Zieghart." Raon calmly bowed his head. He introduced himself first to the leaders of the Five Kings reflected in the four windows as if humbling himself, but his red burning gaze stretched out domineeringly as if it would crush them all. "I will now begin the Five Kings Conference."
