The Reincarnated Assassin Is a Genius Swordsman

Chapter 1463 "What...?" Derus Robert's eyebrows trembled. "Raon Zieghart has disappeared?" He asked Kubara again as if he couldn't believe it. "Yes. Raon Zieghart does not exist in the Epillan territory right now." Kubara nodded without hesitation as if she had checked several more times. "Is even the spatial movement interference barrier broken?" Derus Robert sat back down on the sofa and stroked his chin. "No, that can't be. I installed it in a position that covers the entire Epillan territory so it wouldn't be affected by the explosion." He was confident that there was no problem with the barrier without even asking. "That's correct. The barrier is still activated right now." Kubara lowered her chin, saying she had confirmed that as well. "Ha..." Derus Robert brushed back his disheveled hair and let out an incredulous laugh. "Then he escaped from the barrier containing the Demonic Dragon's destructive power?" The Demonic Dragon of Destruction could change the flow of this world with its existence alone. That was also the reason why existing magic didn't activate in the previous war. He had set up a barrier using the flames of destruction to block movement magic to prevent Raon from escaping, but hearing that he had broken through it and escaped was absurd. "It means they've developed a new movement magic that can penetrate the flames of destruction." Derus Robert chuckled, thinking of Evelyn who always follows by Raon's side. "Impressive. But..." He wiped the blood flowing down his hand with his mouth and his cold eyes flashed. "Since he escaped using that magic today, it won't work next time." Derus Robert curled up his lips, saying that although he missed Raon, he had gained very good information. 'I expected it, but it's good to be certain.' He had expected that if it were Raon Zieghart, who wouldn't fall for the same trick twice, he would have developed new magic. But he didn't know he would use that magic right here. It would have been troublesome if he missed it later, so he thought it was rather good that he found out first. "Study the magic Raon Zieghart used when he escaped and create a barrier that can completely block it." Derus Robert jerked his chin toward the darkness on the right, not toward Kubara. "I was about to move anyway." A small laugh came from the right darkness where not even breathing could be heard until now. "I want to see how much her magic has developed." He flashed golden eyes in the darkness as if he would personally confirm and resolve it, then disappeared. "Is it starting now? I'm looking forward to it." The one who had been hiding on the left also let out an interested laugh and melted into the darkness. "Then I'll make preparations as well." Kubara also bowed as if she would move for Derus who had declared war, then went outside the door. "He must be relieved thinking he escaped." Derus Robert curled up his lips while recalling Raon's face that he had seen in his clone state. "No, you merely bought time. Everything on this earth is..." Death-imbued flames blazed above his palm, melting the ice-cold glass without a trace. "Everything will eventually melt before the flames of destruction. However, you especially, I will personally devour." Derus Robert muttered coldly as if certain of victory in the war. "Raon Zieghart." * * * "Are you really okay?" Denning Rose lowered her voice while looking around the panoramic view of the trading city Cameloon. "That magic was your secret weapon that you've been earnestly preparing until now." She bit her lips, wondering if Evelyn's magic had been revealed to the enemy too quickly. -This king is also worried about that! Wrath also vigorously swung his chin as if he had the same thoughts as Denning Rose. -There was no need to give information to that bastard Derus Robert! He frowned, asking why they used magic when they could have just escaped. "It's okay." Raon shook his head instead of Evelyn. "If it's Derus Robert, he would have prepared countermeasures in advance even without seeing our new movement magic. It's better to show it." He smiled, saying he had gone to Epillan with the intention of showing it from the beginning. "That's right. I went there with the intention of showing it." Evelyn curled up her lips, following Raon's words. "Because that was fake." When she brought her hands together, the movement magic circle drawn under their feet flipped upside down. "Fake?" Denning Rose opened her eyes wide as if asking what that meant. "Yes. It's fake." When Evelyn lowered her hands again, her magic circle was completely erased like smoke. "What do you..." Denning Rose blinked, as if she didn't understand. "Wasn't it that not only Evelyn, but also Chamber and Larian studied movement magic together?" She tilted her head, thinking about how high-ranking magicians had gathered to study movement magic through the Black Market's information. "We did research. And what came out was..." Evelyn smiled brightly and held up two fingers. "Two types of magic. The first was fast but lacked accuracy, and the second magic was precise but slow to activate." She said that thanks to three Archmages putting their heads together, two new movement magics were created, and she displayed two magic circles. "Of course, we weren't satisfied with that and combined the two to develop new movement magic that is fast, accurate, and can penetrate any interference. The magic we just used..." Evelyn lightly tapped the ground where the magic circle had been with her foot. "Is movement magic roughly made from the leftover scraps, which is slow and inaccurate." She laughed, curling up her red lips and asking if it wasn't interesting. "That's why we came here instead of the center of Cameloon." Raon looked at his feet. He shrugged, pointing out that they had come not to Cameloon itself, but to the edge of the castle wall where they could see the panoramic view of Cameloon. -Ha... Wrath let out a gasp as if he had no idea. -You're really a terrible schemer! He sighed, saying he got goosebumps even though they were on the same side. "Ahh..." Denning Rose also nodded blankly as if she now understood. "You're both really amazing." She shook her head in amazement at both Evelyn, who developed the new magic, and Raon, who threw it as bait. "You just figured that out now?" "We have to prepare. To defeat Derus Robert." Evelyn snorted as if telling her to figure things out sooner, and Raon nodded as if it were natural. "Looking at you two, I feel like I need to prepare earnestly as well." Denning Rose clenched her fist as if she would do her best to fulfill her assigned role. "Yes. I'm counting on you." Raon nodded, saying he was counting on her in the future as well. "However, before that..." Denning Rose swallowed dry saliva while looking at the distant ground below. "Could you please take me down?" She let out an awkward laugh as if it would be difficult for her to go down alone. "Oh, of course." Raon nodded and was about to take Denning Rose's hand. "I'll do it! I will!" Evelyn reacted faster than Raon and jumped forward. "How dare you!" She twisted her lips as if she knew all the intentions and grabbed Denning Rose's hand. "Stop your tricks and let's go!" Evelyn immediately descended to the ground as if she didn't want Raon and Denning Rose to be together for even a moment. "That's disappointing." Denning Rose whispered so only Evelyn could hear while looking at the ground gradually getting closer. "I wanted to be with Raon more." "I knew it!" Evelyn bit her lips while looking at Denning Rose. "I knew you would openly target him, unlike the innocent girls in Zieghart!" She shook her head vigorously as if she would never give Raon up. "Then you'd better guard him well." Denning Rose gently caressed Evelyn's hand while feeling her feet touch the ground. "I'll keep in contact and make efforts too." She smiled seductively as if she wouldn't give up on Raon and waved her hand toward Raon on the castle wall. "Grrrgh! This vixen..." Evelyn ground her teeth with an expression that showed she could neither kill nor spare Denning Rose. "Well then, goodbye." Denning Rose gracefully waved her fingertips in farewell and headed toward where the Black Market headquarters was located. "What's wrong?" Raon came down next to Evelyn and tilted his head. "What kind of conversation did you have with Denning Rose that made your expression so crumpled?" He approached Evelyn with an expression showing he had no idea at all. "From now on, I'm going to keep following Raon around!" Evelyn linked arms with Raon as if she would absolutely not let him go. "What, what? Why all of a sudden..." "Absolutely!" She shook her head fiercely as if she wouldn't let go no matter what Raon said. "I won't let you go!" * * * Raon returned to the Holy Sword Alliance's Holy Ground and immediately summoned the executives to tell them about what had happened in the Ephirlane territory. "And so..." Raon scanned the tense eyes of the executives and placed his hand on the wall where the Continental Map was hanging. "The war has begun again." He spoke of the outbreak of war without a moment's hesitation. "It's finally starting! I've been waiting!" Balder kicked back his chair and stood up as if he had been waiting. "Sit down. The meeting isn't over yet." Karoon pressed down Balder with his presence, telling him to be respectful in front of the head of house. "Is it my turn next?" Rector clenched his fist tightly as if he had resolved something in his heart. "It's the real beginning of war." "I'll show what I've gained here!" "Now I'm not afraid of Derus Robert or the Demonic Dragon of Destruction!" "Let's destroy everything!" The other executives also looked at Raon with excited eyes as if they were confident they could fight and win in the war. "Then when do you think they will appear?" Shadow Agents' Leader Chad approached. Unlike the others, he was in a position that dealt with information, so he seemed most curious about that aspect. The others also seemed to want to hear the details and closed their mouths again. "It's quiet now, but not long after, the Demonic Dragon of Destruction will come flying." Raon narrowed his eyes while looking toward the south of the continent. "One month. No, it won't even take a week." He lowered his chin heavily while recalling the stirring of destruction that was rising from the end of the southern sea. "Then what should we do until then?" Alice asked what they would do during the remaining time and smacked her lips. "Isn't what a swordsman must do already decided?" Raon immediately raised his hand as if there was no need to ask. "Training. Until the war begins, the only thing we need to do is training." Silence fell over the conference room at the word training. After that, ghastly sounds followed of biting lips, grinding teeth, and clicking jaws. "Now, let's all go out." Raon struck the round table with both hands filled with strength. "I will absolutely ensure that you don't die." He said to trust only him and follow, then left the conference room first. "We won't die. Because we'll die here, not in the war!" "I-I'm more scared of training than war..." "I finally thought training was over! Why!" "C-can't we just ask to go to war right away instead?" "That's right! It's better to fight quickly!" "How about we just attack them ourselves?" As soon as Raon left, the executives screamed that they would rather fight the Demonic Dragon of Destruction right now than undergo his training. "Uurgh..." "I hate training! I hate training! I hate training!" "My nephew's training is too heavy. It's worse than father's!" Karoon let out a pained groan, Balder hit his own head as if his intelligence had dropped, and Alice burst into screams while clutching her head. Even the high-ranking executives who led the other executives squeezed their eyes shut as if they also disliked Raon's training. -Disliking training more than war... Wrath nodded with his eyes gently closed. -This king can't say anything since I experienced it directly myself. He had suffered more than the others, so even tears welled up in his eyes. "That person is a demon!" -That bastard is an evil spirit! It was a moment when human and demon king were in perfect agreement.
