The Reincarnated Assassin Is a Genius Swordsman

Chapter 1480 'Hmm?' Derus Robert slightly furrowed his brow as he advanced toward the Continent. 'What is this...?' As if sensing something strange, he stopped walking and looked at his own feet. "What is the matter?" The man wrapped entirely in a black robe approached from behind Derus Robert and asked. "Didn't you feel something just now?" Unlike his usual self who always found answers on his own, Derus Robert turned around as if curious about what others felt. "Not at all." The man in the black robe immediately shook his head. "I had a magic barrier up just in case, but there was nothing particularly detected." He shrugged as if there was no problem at all. "……." Kubara briefly closed her eyes and then opened them. "I also sense nothing." She slowly shook her head as if she also had not felt anything particular. [......] The gray-hued being leading the Angels kept its mouth shut as if there was no reason to speak at all. "Just hurry up and go! What are you doing! M-my chest hurts!" The Silent Serpent Swordsman ground his teeth while rubbing his chest as if irritated. "It would be best to check properly." Derus Robert slightly furrowed his brow and raised his gaze. He moved his lips toward the Demonic Dragon of Destruction, which was invisible to the eye but stood in the sky watching over everything. Fwuuuuush! The moment Derus Robert's mouth closed, the Demonic Dragon of Destruction breathed out dark crimson Flames of Destruction toward the sky above the Robert estate. The supreme heat that could incinerate even dimensions spread across the sky like a massive umbrella, yet nothing happened. "Wooaaaaaaa!" "It is destruction!" "The god of destruction is also with us!" "With the god of death and the god of destruction, we can never lose!" "Let us incinerate the insects of the Continent!" The followers of Derus Robert raised both hands and cheered at the appearance of the Demonic Dragon of Destruction. "Hmm." Derus Robert paid no attention to those calling his name and briefly clicked his tongue. 'Nothing is happening.' The flames breathed out by the Demonic Dragon of Destruction possess the power to break the very flow of magic or Magic alone by their heat. He had sent out the flames just in case, but nothing changed. 'Was it just my imagination.' He had suspected it might be one of Raon Zieghart's schemes, but since he had just been caught off guard by him, it seemed his senses had become slightly distorted. "Tch." Derus Robert clicked his tongue briefly. 'I've only wasted time.' The Day of Black Darkness is only 24 hours long. Since he needed to swallow the entire Continent within this time, every minute and second was precious. The thought that he had wasted time for nothing made his irritation rise further. "Let's go." Derus Robert vowed not to stop anymore and moved forward without hesitation. "The time has come to incinerate everything in the Continent." After his resolute cry, fearsome roars and battle cries followed. Uoooooooo! Sound and Fighting Spirit that could shake the very heavens erupted, but only those present in that place could hear it. * * * "To think it would suddenly breathe out flames...." Archmage Chamber of Eternal Flame let out a sigh long enough to reach the sky. "We almost got ruined!" She shook her head frantically, saying she truly thought they were going to die. "I-I believed in it!" Mage Tower Master Larian nodded, saying she believed in the power of the magic she had created. However, contrary to those words, her hands were trembling uncontrollably. "It's Raon's plan!" Evelyn clenched her fist with her pale white hand. "Of course it would succeed!" She waved her fist as if she had never doubted it even once. "……." Raon said nothing. He had his gaze fixed on the blue screen floating in the air. -Huh...? Wrath blinked blankly as he watched the screen. -T-this appearing means.... 'That's right.' Raon nodded brightly. 'It succeeded.' He said that Derus Robert and his followers had entered the fake Continent, and looked at the blue screen again. Wuuuuuung! Inside the blue screen, Derus Robert and his followers advancing toward the Continent was being played as vividly as if one were watching from right beside them. 'Fortunately....' Raon clenched his fist as he watched Derus Robert's smile. 'The timing was right.' He had been tense because the plan could have succeeded or fallen apart by the slimmest of margins, but fortunately it succeeded by a hair's breadth. -Wh-what has happened? Wrath blinked blankly while looking at the screen. -This King thought it was all over when the Demonic Dragon of Destruction breathed out flames! The creature wagged its tail wildly, saying it had trembled with fear at that sight. 'By that point, they had already entered the fake Continent.' Raon shook his head. 'Because the magic had already activated the moment Derus Robert thought he had regained his senses on his own and took his first step.' -The magic activated? 'Yes. Actually, the orb I used when retreating wasn't a simple movement Artifact.' The orb he used when retreating from the Robert estate had appeared to be an Artifact containing only movement magic, but in reality it was an illusion Artifact created to deceive Derus Robert. When the orb burst, a gate leading to the fake Continent had already opened around the Robert estate, and Derus Robert, who had not yet fully regained his senses, took a step forward on his own, leading himself and everyone with him into the fake Continent. It was no different from being caught in an inescapable spider's web. 'After entering, it doesn't matter whether they detect anything or whether the Demonic Dragon of Destruction breathes out flames.' Entering the fake Continent was already the same as having half-won. Derus Robert cannot escape until he reaches the Holy Sword Alliance's Holy Ground, and they themselves can monitor the positions and situation of their enemies in detail. "Shouldn't we have a party or something?" "P-party? A magic party?" "What's a magic party! I just mean let's celebrate!" Chamber, Larian, and Evelyn were also bursting into laughter as if they had already won. "There's no need to hold a party." Raon waved his hand toward the three cheering people. "Because something more enjoyable than a party is going to happen." He curled the corners of his lips, saying it was time to begin the prepared operation. "Something more enjoyable than a party?" "W-what do you mean?" Chamber and Larian widened their eyes as if not understanding what he meant. "From now on, something so dreadful that the enemy will beg to be killed...." Raon clenched his grip with anticipation, as if grasping Derus Robert within the video. "Because we're starting the operation." * * * After confirming that Derus Robert had entered the fake Continent, Raon returned to the Holy Sword Alliance's Holy Ground. "Wooaaaaaaa!" "Raon! Raon! Raon! Raon!" "Zieghart! Zieghart!" "I believed in the Alliance leader!" "O Sword Sage!" The Swordsmen who had stayed behind and waited at the Holy Sword Alliance's Holy Ground burst into roars that could shake heaven and earth the moment they saw Raon. Since Derus Robert had shown the video of the situation to all humans on the Continent, they seemed unable to hold back their cheers after learning everything. -M-my ears hurt! Wrath furrowed his brow. -It's not that This King is jealous! My ears just hurt! The creature ground its teeth with an expression that was obviously envious to anyone who looked. "That's right! That's how it should be! Raon! Raon!" Evelyn said it was wonderful, raising both hands and calling his name even louder than everyone else. 'My ears do hurt....' Raon sighed and turned his head toward the executives. "Could you stop that... huh?" He was about to tell the executives to stop them but blinked blankly. "Raon! Raon! Raon!" "Sword Sage! Sword Sage! Sword Sage!" "We have witnessed the greatness of Zieghart!" "O true master of the Holy Sword Alliance!" The executives of Zieghart and the Holy Sword Alliance were shouting his name and title louder than the other Swordsmen. "Raon! Raon! Raon!" Karoon and Rector were no exception either. Both were raising their hands in admiration of his Martial Prowess that had overwhelmed Derus Robert. "Haa...." Raon sighed and raised his hand. "Stop." As he raised his hand, the cries that had been shaking heaven and earth cut off as if by magic. The Swordsmen of Zieghart and the Holy Sword Alliance were looking at him alone, like worshippers serving the god of swords named Raon. "Evelyn." Raon called out to Evelyn, the only one still shouting his name even now. "Raon! Ra... mm!" Evelyn nodded, then opened a blue screen in the sky, and inside it Derus Robert was being shown. "Right now, Derus Robert has entered the fake Continent created by countless Magicians." Raon explained the events that had transpired to the Zieghart and Holy Sword Alliance Swordsmen who did not know the exact situation. "Th-then Derus Robert has started a war without even knowing he has entered the fake Continent?" "How could such a plan...." Krein's jaw dropped open, and Dorian scratched his belly Pouch frantically as if dumbfounded. "You crazy person! Both thinking of that plan and pulling it off are both insane!" Martha was so shocked she just kept repeating the word "crazy" to Raon. "Of course Raon can do it...." Runaan, having the same one-sided faith in Raon as Evelyn, nodded calmly. "Is that why he's the head of house." Burren let out a hollow laugh as if he couldn't keep up. "No, it is because he became head of house that he can do such things." Karoon held Burren by the shoulder and nodded, saying it seemed Raon became capable of such things because he became head of house. "As expected, our nephew. No, our Head of House!" Balder didn't quite understand it all, but waved his fist the size of a pot lid as if in good spirits. "If it can be accomplished, it is a perfect plan...." Rector looked at the screen and slightly lowered his eyebrows. "To have accomplished that impossible plan. Unbelievable." He burst into laughter, saying it was astounding just to have accomplished that alone. "But hey...." Krein clicked his tongue. "What do we do now? Won't there be a problem if we meddle with it for no reason?" He trembled with his hands as if worried the fake Continent might collapse. "Once they have entered that place, they cannot leave. The only gate through which they can emerge is right here before this Holy Sword Alliance." Raon pointed to the Holy Sword Alliance's Holy Ground and nodded. "Ah, then we just need to wait!" Krein placed his clasped hands on his head, saying he should rest in the meantime. "W-wait!" Dorian urgently tried to stop him, but Krein's words had already been heard by everyone. "No. We can't just wait." Raon drew a razor-sharp smile toward Krein. "Didn't you ask earlier what we should do?" "Y-yes, but... it seems like you don't need to tell me...." Krein felt an ominous feeling from Raon's expression and his lips trembled uncontrollably. "What we need to do is naturally the focus enhancement operation." Raon spoke of focus enhancement as always and let out a cold laugh. "Aaaaaagh!" "Krein! Why did you ask that!" "Ah, to think we'd be doing that training even after the war started...." "Can't we just go to war directly? No, just kill us instead!" The Swordsmen who had experienced the dreadfulness of focus enhancement training burst into groans and screams. Many were shooting resentful glares at Krein. "Listen carefully, everyone." Raon waved his hand toward the Swordsmen. "I said focus enhancement operation, not focus enhancement training." He narrowed his eyes, emphasizing that he had said operation, not training. "Huh...?" "Not training, but operation?" "Th-then...." The Swordsmen widened their eyes as if they had finally understood what Raon meant. "That's right. This is not training but an operation. The pain, fear, pressure, and malice you received through focus enhancement training...." Raon lifted his chin with arrogance. "It is time to return every bit of it to Derus Robert and his followers." Crying out to return to the enemies every pain and fury endured through training until now, he drew his sword. "Our fear and stress onto the enemies?" "I'm confident in that! More confident than anyone!" "I'll kill them all! No, I'll make them beg to be killed!" The Swordsmen of Zieghart and the Holy Sword Alliance exuded fearsome Fighting Spirit as if excited by the operation to pay back what they had suffered. Gooooooo! However, there were those who displayed even more intense emotions and fury than them. "Ooooooo!" "Ehehehehehe!" "Kihihihihihi!" "Uhehehehehe!" They were the Light Wind Palace Swordsmen. The Swordsmen who had endured the hell of focus enhancement training countless times from long ago burst into laughter exploding with Fangs of Insanity as if they had already lost their sanity just from the thought of returning what they had received. -C-crazy people.... Wrath's lips trembled uncontrollably. -Those ones have completely lost their minds! The creature recoiled in surprise at the madness of the Light Wind Palace it had been watching for so long. "Wh-why are they like that?" "Scary...." "A-aren't they the ones on the villain's side?" Even the Swordsmen on the same side swallowed dry saliva as if the reaction of the Light Wind Palace Swordsmen was frightening. "Ehehehe! Kill them all!" "Stab, stab, and stab again." "I won't even let them breathe a sigh! Kikikiki!" However, the Light Wind Palace Swordsmen, as if already gone mad, paid no attention to the others and burned with even greater madness. "Let's see you take it." Raon listened to the laughter of the Light Wind Palace Swordsmen overflowing with madness and gazed at Derus Robert within the video. "The blade of madness forged just for you."
