The Reincarnated Assassin Is a Genius Swordsman

Chapter 1450 [A meeting is fine, but...] Archmage Chamber of Eternal Flame curled up the corners of her mouth. [If a newcomer has joined, we should have a welcoming ceremony! Don't you think?] She even clapped her hands with eyes brighter than usual. [Raon! You've become more handsome!] Beast King Ogram nodded his head significantly after looking at Raon's face. [Now you smell like a male! You've become a real man!] He snorted, saying he would acknowledge Raon as a male. [Oh, it's been a long time...] Mage Tower Master Larian pulled out her white hand from under the blanket and waved it left and right. [Everyone seems to have been well. Not me though...] She sniffled as if she alone hadn't been doing well. [W-wait! Didn't you just say Leader of the Holy Sword Alliance?] The new king of Owen Kingdom, Greer, opened his eyes wide. [Besides, I didn't get any welcoming ceremony!] He even stood up from his lion throne, asking why only he didn't get a welcoming ceremony. -Hah... Wrath shook his head as if dumbfounded seeing that sight. -They're all just babbling about what they want to say. The guy frowned, wondering if these really were the kings who would fight the worst war. [When it was your time, it was right before war.] Chamber waved her hand. [Instead of time for a welcoming ceremony, you should have been preparing for war even a little!] She snorted, saying what welcoming ceremony when he became king right before war. [Then we can all do it together now!] Ogram said let's have a welcoming ceremony right away and reached his hand to the side. [Everyone bring alcohol!] He immediately poured alcohol into his mouth without listening to anyone's words. [Alcohol? Alcohol is good...] When Larian nodded and flicked her finger, a whiskey bottle fell from the air. [I think I can only survive if I drink this...] She chugged the entire whiskey more refreshingly than even Ogram. [S-suddenly what drinking party...] Greer blinked his eyes blankly and then shook his head. [I'll follow along too!] He shouted that he couldn't lose and put a wine bottle in his mouth and shook it. "Hah..." Raon sighed while watching the leaders of the Five Kings suddenly drinking alcohol. 'This is why I tried to get straight to the point.' The leaders of the Five Kings were those who had watched him since he was young. Even though he had finished the succession ceremony, that young image wouldn't disappear at once, so he tried to start the war plan immediately before they went off track, but as expected, it wasn't easy. -They're really pathetic kings. Wrath muttered that they were pathetic just to look at and shook his head side to side. [No!] Chamber snorted at the other leaders of the Five Kings. [We should drink alcohol when we're all gathered together!] It was the moment she smiled and clapped her hands. Whooooosh! The blue windows that had been showing the leaders of the Five Kings connected into one and dyed Raon's entire vision blue. When Raon opened his eyes to the sudden sound of birds, he saw a new world. Between the warmly pouring sunlight and the grass and flowers filled with fresh vitality, alcohol and food were spread out. -Huh... Wrath was startled and rolled his eyes left and right. "What is this..." When Raon tilted his head in confusion, Chamber appeared before his eyes. He could feel the real presence of Chamber, not an image. It wasn't just Chamber. Larian was on the left, Ogram on the right, and Greer was standing behind them. "Huff! W-what is this?" Greer exhaled heavily as if flustered. "Where is this place!" Ogram also opened his mouth wide as if he had been suddenly dragged here. "It's no fun drinking while talking through video. It's magic that lets us properly face each other as if we're right next to each other even when far apart. It's called virtual reality magic!" Chamber proudly puffed out her chest, saying she had developed new magic. -Hah... Wrath clicked his tongue. -It's quite the playground. The guy frowned, saying it was ridiculous. -Only you have been diligently cultivating while everyone else has been playing! Wrath clicked his tongue, saying only Raon was serious. 'Well.' Raon smiled gently while looking at the leaders of the Five Kings who had come to this place. 'It doesn't seem like that.' He sat down, saying his thoughts differed from Wrath's. "Actually, this space wasn't created for meetings..." Larian smacked her lips while still covered with a blanket even in this situation. "It was accidentally created while re-setting the continent's coordinates..." She nodded, saying she had created this magic together with Chamber. "Coordinate setting?" Greer tilted his head as if asking what that meant. "After the Demonic Dragon of Destruction was revived, not only space movement but also message magic and ordinary magic didn't work properly." Chamber bit down on the candy in her mouth as if frustrated. "We're creating new spatial coordinates and spatial movement magic that can operate no matter what happens, so such things won't happen again." She clenched her small hand into a fist as if she had been very frustrated during the Demonic Dragon of Destruction incident. "Right..." Larian exhaled white breath and threw off her blanket. "I'm so pissed that my magic didn't work! Next time, I'll blow off that damn dragon's head!" She seemed to have an even worse habit of getting excited whenever magic was mentioned, turning her eyes red as she chugged the entire whiskey again. "I was frustrated too." Ogram trembled his hands that had been crossed. "Because I couldn't even stop the guy I had barely captured from escaping when crushed by the Demonic Dragon of Destruction." He ground his teeth, saying he had despaired at his own incompetence. "Same here. No, I'm worse!" Greer exhaled a heavy breath and struck the ground with his fist. "I became one of the Five Kings and the king of Owen, but I couldn't do anything! In the war, I was just a bystander!" He grabbed his head, saying he had achieved nothing. "No. It's my fault! If only the spatial movement magic had worked properly, we might have been able to save that old man!" "No. It's because of me. If my magic had been just a little better, such things wouldn't have happened..." Chamber and Larian each bowed their heads, saying they were disappointed in their own magic. "No! It's because I'm weak!" "I was nothing more than dust..." Ogram and Greer also bit their lips deeply, saying they despaired at their own weak martial prowess. "That's right." Raon calmly accepted the words of the four people. "The magicians couldn't properly cast magic, and the martial artists froze in fear without even throwing themselves into battle." The four leaders of the Five Kings trembled at the back of their necks at his sharp criticism. "Honestly, I was planning to address that part first today. About our Five Kings' incompetence." Raon's calm yet sharp gaze fell upon the four leaders one by one. "But there's no need for that." He waved his hand with a smile as if it was fine now. "Why...?" Greer asked while swallowing dry saliva. The other leaders also raised their heads as if curious. "Because you overcame fear and sought to grow." Raon looked over the four leaders from Greer to Chamber again and curled up his lips. "All four of you didn't collapse in despair at that day's defeat, but sought to move forward." Chamber and Larian had newly configured spatial magic and message magic that couldn't be used after the Demonic Dragon of Destruction was revived, even creating the current virtual reality magic. 'Moreover, they didn't neglect their personal cultivation.' A denser scent of mana emanated from Chamber and Larian than before. It was clear that the two had strived to grow their martial prowess even while creating new magic. 'These guys are the same.' Raon looked at Ogram and Greer with a faint smile. 'The entire atmosphere has completely changed.' Ogram seemed to have keenly felt the insufficiency of his own martial prowess, breaking through the wall he couldn't overcome during the war and reaching the next realm. It was such rapid growth that one would want to ask how he had cultivated. 'The Third Prince. No, the new king of Owen is even more so.' Greer seemed to have received much advice from the previous king and cultivated with blood and sweat, now having become a definite Transcendent. Though there were many barriers to overcome since he was a beginner, compared to his previous self, it was a world of difference. However, despite their growth, the leaders of the Five Kings still couldn't erase their sense of defeat. The fact that they all pretended to look bright was also to forcibly not reveal that day's despair. "But we..." It was when Ogram was about to speak while exhaling heavily. "Now, we must sever the defeat of that day." Raon firmly shook his head. "Our defeat and the previous Head of House of Zieghart's ascension are things that have already happened, so we must accept them and move forward to the next step." He nodded, saying that not only martial prowess must be strengthened, but mental cultivation must also be achieved together to overcome the Demonic Dragon of Destruction. "If we were defeated, we just need to win next time. No, we can win." Even after seeing the martial prowess of the Demonic Dragon of Destruction and Derus Robert from the closest distance, Raon spoke with certainty that they would win. At that sight, the eyes of the four leaders widened. "Even without that old man?" Chamber asked while biting her lips. She seemed to still be concerned about not being able to prevent Glenn's ascension, reddening her eyes. "Yes. What grandfather couldn't do, I will accomplish." Raon spoke once more with certainty of victory, filled with respect for Glenn. "There's something I discovered this time." He took out the notes of the unknown swordsman he had been carrying and showed them to the four people. "According to this content..." Raon explained to the leaders of the Five Kings information about the Demonic Dragon of Destruction and why he became the master of the Holy Sword Alliance. "So that's it! It was fear!" Chamber exclaimed in admiration. "No wonder it kept getting stronger!" She nodded, saying she had felt the Demonic Dragon of Destruction continuously getting stronger. "Then we must prevent that fear from spreading!" Greer placed his hand on his chest as if vowing that he would never be afraid. "Next time, I'll smash that damn dragon's head!" Ogram said to just give him a chance and clenched his fists with force. "It grows by feeding on fear and despair? Ah, then..." Larian smiled as if she had thought of something good. "Derus Robert and the Demonic Dragon of Destruction will surely return. If we fight them head-on, it will only repeat the previous war. It will only give the Demonic Dragon of Destruction a chance to grow." Raon narrowed his brow as he recalled the past when they couldn't use any power despite having numerical superiority. "Therefore, the strategy for the next war we will fight is..." He nodded firmly as if he had already prepared the entire strategy. "Hit and run." Raon raised his finger and pointed at Chamber, Larian, Ogram, and Greer in turn, then twisted his lips. "And it will be done directly by us, the leaders of the Five Kings."
