The Reincarnated Assassin Is a Genius Swordsman

Chapter 1459 Raon bit his lips while looking at the Epillan lord's face. 'Epillan lord.' The person before his eyes right now was the Epillan lord whose life he had saved in his past life. Seeing his face that hadn't changed at all, the situation from decades ago came flooding back like it was just yesterday. He could never forget because it was the first time he had disobeyed Derus Robert's orders to save someone. "I truly wanted to see you." The Epillan lord's eyes welled up with tears as he said he had wanted to meet Raon. "Because my son and I are alive thanks to you." He said he definitely wanted to express his gratitude and bowed his head until it touched the ground. Raon drew the Heavenly Drive and swung it the moment the Epillan lord raised his head after bowing. Swooooosh! The Heavenly Drive that shot out like lightning returned to Raon's side, and a red line was drawn across the neck of the Epillan lord who stood before him. "Why, why..." The Epillan lord gestured toward Raon who had slashed his neck and spat blood from his mouth. "Enough with the games..." Raon shook off the Heavenly Drive that didn't have a single drop of blood on it. "Let's get to the main point." He told him not to waste time and sheathed the Heavenly Drive. "Hah..." Black flames blazed over the sword wound that had been drawn on the Epillan lord's neck. Death aura. The worst kind of aura that steals the vitality from the living and gives new life to the dying was erasing his wound. "I wanted to show you a welcome face after such a long time, but that's unfortunate." The Epillan lord's voice slowly changed. From the country lord who exuded warmth and simplicity came the aura of a supreme ruler who reigned over the world. "Ah, but before that, I'd like you to see this." The moment the Epillan lord smiled, his chest burst open and blood spurted out. "This man you saved died like this. His son had his throat quietly slit." He spat blood from his mouth and said that because of Raon, the Epillan lord and his son had died feeling intense pain. "It's all your fault. Because you didn't follow the set instructions..." "So what?" Raon jerked his chin while looking at the Epillan lord who was bleeding and smiling. "What do you want me to do?" He asked back with calm eyes instead. "What?" "The one who killed those two wasn't me, but you." Raon sneered and shook his head. "Derus Robert." In the past, Derus Robert's words would have created cracks in his heart, and that bastard would have persistently targeted those gaps to crush him. But now he really didn't care at all. Since he knew exactly what Derus Robert's true identity was and what he himself had done, there was no reason to be drawn into that bastard's schemes. "Certainly..." The Epillan lord wiped the blood flowing from his mouth and lowered his eyebrows. "You have changed indeed." As soon as those words were spoken, the Epillan lord who was spitting blood disappeared, and Derus Robert sitting on a leather sofa revealed himself. "Ah...?" "Illusion magic? No, if it were magic I couldn't possibly not realize?" Denning Rose and Evelyn widened their eyes in surprise at the disappearance of the Epillan lord and the sudden appearance of Derus Robert. -Wha, it was an illusion? Wrath also trembled his jaw as if he had no idea at all. "You're still the same." Unlike the others, Raon twisted his lips without being surprised at all. "You still reek of rot." He openly disparaged Derus Robert and raised his chin. "You should know, shouldn't you?" Derus Robert lifted his luxurious robe slightly and smiled. "That I always wear only new clothes." He waved his hand, saying there was no way he could smell bad. "Even if you wash your body with clean water and wear new clothes..." Raon plopped down on the sofa in front of Derus Robert. "The stench flowing from your ugly soul can never be hidden." He brought his face close to Derus Robert's and snorted derisively. "Hah...?" Derus Robert let out empty air while looking at Raon's quietly settled eyes. "I need to make a correction. It's not just that you've changed..." He trembled his arm that was draped over the sofa's backrest and bit his lips. "You've become a completely different person." Derus Robert narrowed his eyes as if he could no longer call him Raon. "Good. I've wanted to have this kind of conversation with you." He nodded, saying it seemed like they could finally understand each other. "But we don't need the rabble." Derus Robert looked at Evelyn and Denning Rose behind Raon and flicked his fingers. As a snap echoed through the room, everything around them turned black. Even Wrath was nowhere to be seen. The only things remaining in this space were the sofa he was sitting on and Derus Robert sitting in front of him. "No need to worry. We've simply moved, just the two of us." Derus Robert chuckled while looking at Raon who remained calmly seated. "This way you can speak more comfortably too." He jerked his chin as if asking how it was. "If you have something to say, go ahead and say it." Raon crossed his legs arrogantly without being flustered this time either. "Those cold eyes that show you don't care what happens to your companions." Derus Robert let out an admiring sound while looking into Raon's eyes. "You've finally come to walk this path." He laughed, saying it seemed like Raon was also becoming an iron-blooded Monarch who abandoned blood and tears. "Don't waste time with useless words and get to the point." Raon raised one finger as if saying this was the last chance. "Just facing your face right now is already disgusting." He openly scrunched up his face at Derus Robert. "Your personality has become impatient too. That's a good virtue for a Monarch." Derus Robert curled up his lips while looking at Raon's cold eyes. "Good. I'll get straight to the point as you want." He exhaled a cool breath and raised his head. "Raon Zieghart. I don't understand you." Derus Robert twisted his jaw sideways. "A discarded... no, an assassin who was no different from trash, who entered Zieghart at the center of the Six Kings and eventually secured the position of head of house. Why on earth!" He frowned as if he couldn't believe it. "Why do you care about past grudges and such? Can't you just enjoy your current life?" Derus Robert spread both arms wide. "Around you right now, everything exists. A great house, those who love you, money that would last even if you spent it until death, and even abilities that have reached an absolute position. There are so many things to enjoy, so why on earth!" He bared his white teeth ferociously. "Why are you trying to interfere with me! Even if you defeat me, nothing will remain for you!" Derus Robert ground his teeth, saying no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't understand. "..." Raon showed no reaction even while watching Derus Robert's anger. "Raon Zieghart. I'll give you one last chance." Derus Robert exhaled white breath and nodded his head. "Right now, more than 80% of the curse that Glenn Zieghart cast on us has disappeared. It won't be long before the Demonic Dragon of Destruction spreads its wings again. A hellish war will begin again. No, that's not a war." As he lowered his hand, the black space began to distort. "Slaughter. Literally, a disaster that no one in this world can stop will fall and everything will disappear." Derus Robert exhaled turbid breath, saying that once the Demonic Dragon of Destruction was revived again, no one would be able to stop it. "Before that happens, admit defeat and step back. If you and those inferior humans stay buried in the north and live quietly in hiding, I won't touch that side." He raised his hand, saying this was the last chance he was giving because Raon had been a faithful subordinate. "You've made quite a big decision." Raon took a short breath while looking at Derus Robert's wavering eyes. "It's fortunate that you know well." Derus Robert snorted. "This world will ultimately perish, and a new history will be written. Being able to live even humbly within it is the utmost honor." He nodded, saying he was giving Raon a glorious position. "Currently behind me, there are not only the Demonic Dragon of Destruction, but countless armies together. Among them, there will be quite a few faces familiar to you." Derus Robert clenched his fist as if confident of victory in the war that would follow. "..." Raon silently stroked his chin as if deliberating. "Come to think of it, you really have grown a lot." Derus Robert looked down at Raon and raised his chin. "You, who always looked up at me, are now meeting my eyes like this." He raised his lips as if Raon was praiseworthy. "The one who's grown a lot would be you." Raon leaned back against the sofa and let out a sneer. "What...?" Derus Robert frowned as if he didn't understand what that meant. "A parasite that used to wipe the Demonic Dragon's ass is now sitting arrogantly in front of me, you really have grown a lot." Raon curled up the corners of his mouth while speaking about the parasite that was Derus Robert's true identity. "Hah...?" Derus Robert's mouth stopped for the first time. The whites and blacks embedded in his eyeballs seemed to mix and rotate before inverting. "Raon Zieghart..." Derus Robert released an angry aura as if truly enraged. Death aura began to bloom like lightning from beneath his feet. "Don't open your mouth too wide." Raon waved his hand at Derus Robert who was erupting in anger and rose from the sofa. "Not just from your mouth, but your blabbering words also smell like shit." He said he could see through all of Derus Robert's schemes and shook his head. "How dare you!" Derus Robert let out a roar-like shriek and rose to his feet. He drew a sword surging with death aura with the momentum to kill Raon right here and thrust it forward. "Do I dare?" Raon's fingertips quietly fell to the Heavenly Drive. "I am the head of house of Zieghart and the Alliance leader of the Holy Sword Alliance." With the heat of Ten Thousand Flames Cultivation in his hand, he drew the Heavenly Drive upward toward Derus Robert. "Ah, ah...?" Derus Robert froze while thrusting his sword burning with death aura, and red lines appeared across his entire body as he looked at Raon with trembling eyes. "There is no being that can use the word 'dare' toward me." The moment Raon tilted the Heavenly Drive with blood droplets formed on it, Derus Robert's body was sliced apart like tofu. Craaaaaack!
