The Reincarnated Assassin is a Genius Swordsman - Chapter 842
The Reincarnated Assassin is a Genius Swordsman Chapter 842
“Heo-eok…”
Rimmer let out a blank breath and struck away the space sword fired by Sif.
Just blocking the sword made my arm ache as if I had been hit by a piece of iron, and my internal organs felt like they were being turned over.
“Are you going to keep stopping that?”
Sif looked down at Rimmer and clicked her tongue briefly.
“It would be easier if I avoided it, right?”
He shrugged his shoulders as if asking why he was standing still and getting hit.
“Wow, he really is a fucking guy…”
Rimmer wiped the blood flowing from his mouth with his sleeve and ground his teeth.
“why? “Even if you get injured, you can avoid it.”
Sif shook her head as if she didn’t understand…
“Oh, maybe it’s because of all the luggage in the back?”
He raised a thin finger and pointed at Dorian and Aris behind Rimer.
“Both of them are useless… One is completely useless and discarded, and my mother is giving me strength just by being in this space…”
Sif lifted her chin and waved her hands left and right.
“Let’s just throw it away and be comfortable.”
He aimed his black sword, saying he would fight properly again.
“You speak well…”
Rimmer spat out the blood that had accumulated in his mouth and sneered.
“Shooting the space sword in this direction…”
Sif only fired slashes at Aris and Dorian, not in the direction she was moving.
When I saw him squirming like that after taking advantage of his weak point, I wanted to rip his head off.
“Then keep trying to block it…”
Sif curled the corners of her mouth and slowly swung out her black sword.
Piaaaaaaa!
Unlike the slow-moving black sword, the slash he made jumped out in front of his eyes, revealing a terrifying murderous intent.
Cheeeeee!
Rimmer twisted the leaf sword diagonally and sent the space sword launched by Sif towards the lower left corner.
Quaaaaaaaaaaa!
The ground struck by Sif’s slash was dug so deep that it could not be seen, and the cavity shook as if it would collapse.
‘It’s not easy…’
In order to block the spatial attack that Sif had unleashed with all her might, a crack appeared in the prosthetic arm attached to her right shoulder, preventing her from moving her hand properly.
The internal injuries were so severe that the artificial power supply was not working properly. It was the worst situation.
“Boo, Vice Commander…”
Dorian’s face was covered with tears and his lips trembled.
“It’s okay… I’ve been through this a lot…”
Rimmer smiled slightly and lowered his head slightly.
‘Yes, I’ve been through a lot.’
Contrary to being known as a genius, he suffered many defeats.
‘When was my first defeat…’
Rimmer opened his blurry eyes as he saw Sif’s space sword firing again.
‘Yes, that person…’
* * *
A time when I wasn’t that different from other elves…
It’s been a while since a human guest came to Seipia…
“Among the humans who entered the Holy Land today, there is a direct descendant of Sieghardt… Glenn Sieghardt is said to be the son of the current family head…”
Erian swallowed dryly, saying that his eyes were different from other humans.
“It’s different…”
Erian, who is not interested in other races, would say something like that. I was curious about what kind of person he was, so I decided to visit him.
As I waited in front of my grandfather’s house, soon the wooden door opened and a man with blonde hair as gorgeous as the sunlight illuminating the forest walked out.
Even though I was young, I could feel the warrior’s prayer already being completed. Just as Erian said, when I thought it was bloody, his eyes turned towards me.
As I faced the calm red eyes, eyes that would not waver even in a turbulent storm, a spirit of victory that I had not even known about rose up in me.
I became curious· Normally, I would ignore it and focus on my work, but I wanted to feel the presence blooming from that man through force.
In the evening when the forest was quiet, I went to Glenn’s lodgings and knocked on the door.
“What’s going on?”
Even though Glenn was young at the time, he spoke in the tone of an old man. Thinking about it now, it was funny.
“I am Seyfia’s guardian, Rimmer.”
At the time, I was the guardian’s grandson and Seifia’s guardian, so I introduced myself as politely as possible.
“Can I request a sparring match?”
“Okay…”
Glenn nodded without the slightest hesitation…
Since I was young, I had been told that I had talent, and that I had the potential to follow in my grandfather’s footsteps and become a guardian, so I was quite confident.
but·
I fell to my knees on the dirt floor before I even exchanged swords a few times. It was a complete defeat with no excuses.
“It was a good sparring…”
Glenn entered the dormitory without breaking a sweat.
I was embarrassed· It felt like the world of swordsmanship I knew had been shattered·
Even when I returned home and lay down in bed, ate, and stood guard outside, Glenn’s vicious sword skills kept flashing through my mind.
I wanted to see you again, I wanted to fight again…
The next evening, I visited Glenn again and applied for a sparring match.
“Okay…”
Glenn accepted the sparring calmly to the point of bewilderment.
But I lost again… and the next day, and the day after that…
After holding my head and thinking for a few days, the day Glenn left Seifia, I followed him without even looking back.
‘The matriarch’s face was truly worth seeing…’
These days, I often see Glenn embarrassed by Raon, but that was the first time I saw his surprised expression.
Glenn must have liked my will and ability to act, so he immediately gave me the head of the assault team.
Of course, there were some who opposed it.
“shock troop? “How can you trust someone you’ve never met before?”
Cheryl · The girl with a pretty face made dissatisfied noises from the moment she first met me ·
“Just looking at him, he looks fine and doesn’t have the mentality to do his job properly!”
She furrowed her brows, her face not much different from now.
“…what a noisy person…”
Those were the first words I said to Cheryl…
“what?”
“Don’t say it with words, say it with your sword…”
I didn’t like being ignored, so I immediately challenged Cheryl.
And damn it, I lost…
“From now on, crawl in front of me. Don’t even think about taking charge of the assault team.”
Cheryl snorted and left the sparring hall. It was only later that I realized that from then on, Cheryl treated me not as an elf but as an equal person.
Although he was very considerate, he had a bad temper…
“I have very little sparring experience…”
Glenn smiled slightly, saying that it was a problem that could be solved with time and effort.
“Spar with Cheryl once a day…”
As he said, I visited Cheryl every day and challenged her to spar, and I lost every day.
However, as Glenn said, perhaps my sparring experience was a problem, so I gradually caught up, and about six months later, I defeated Cheryl for the first time.
“You Mr. Lee…”
Cheryl sniffled in exasperation and ran away from the sparring hall without even wiping the tears from her eyes.
“See you later, I will never lose tomorrow!”
It was cute. I had no idea that the person who nagged me like that had a side like that.
“Now I can take charge of the assault corps.”
Glenn gave me a pat on the shoulder as if thanking me for my hard work. My heart felt warm beyond the sense of accomplishment that I had become stronger.
I don’t know much about humans yet, but I felt like I had a new family…
The very next day
Glenn sent prosecutors to work under him…
“nice to see you! “It’s called Slann!”
A good-looking man with a cheerful personality bowed his head.
“Yuser…”
The skinny woman with dark undereye eyes turned her head slightly and said only her name.
“This is Creo Sieghart…”
A young man who appeared to be in his mid-twenties greeted me with excessive politeness.
“My name is Drebin. Please leave money matters to me.”
A middle-aged man, a bit stocky for a prosecutor, smiled and stretched out his hand…
No matter who you look at or where you look, unlike elves who are similar, they are all humans full of individuality…
However, unlike Glenn and Cheryl, it was not easy to build a relationship.
I spent over 10 years in a relationship of superior and subordinate, giving and receiving instructions and orders, nothing more or less.
Fortunately, we continued to work together even after Glenn became the head of the family, so we got along well and there was not a single failure.
As always, when I received a solo mission as a shock trooper and was sleeping on the street before arriving at the scene, Slann spoke up…
“My lord, do you have any dreams?”
Slann looked at me curiously and tilted his head.
“···I don’t know·”
At that time, I didn’t really have anything that could be called a dream…
Climbing to the top was a goal rather than a dream, and even though Glenn didn’t provide much help, he rose to the position of head of the family on his own…
“Then shall I tell you my story?”
Slen smiled and leaned his upper body in front of the campfire.
“I don’t want there to be no poor children, so I am donating even though it is a small amount.”
He said that he is donating his salary to orphanages and daycare centers in the hope that no children will have to grow up like he did.
“It’s not a small amount, you just take the money you earned!”
Drebin snorted as he looked at Slann.
“You just hoard money. It’s better than that.”
Slann frowned at Drebin.
“Why are you saving money?”
Since I felt no value in money, I was purely curious.
“Because money is power… People who have it don’t know how hellish life without money can be…”
Drebin waved his arms, saying that his dream was to become the richest person on the continent because he lived in poverty when he was young.
“I want to gamble for free!”
Sieghart’s direct descendant, Kureo, licked his lips and rubbed his hands.
“The feeling of losing one’s hand cannot be satisfied even by fighting.”
He said he was looking forward to returning and going to the gambling house.
“You always lose…”
“Winning or losing is not important… That tension is good!”
Kureo laughed, saying that gambling itself is what keeps him alive.
“That’s because you’re rich. Gambling is fun because you have a lot of money.”
Drebin furrowed his eyebrows as if he didn’t like Creo.
“Yuser, what about you?”
Slann looked at Yuser, who had already started to doze off.
“I just want to sleep…”
Yuser slightly lifted his eyelids and shook his head.
“My dream is to be born as a stone and sleep for the rest of my life…”
Even as she dreamed, she muttered that she wanted to dream.
“Actually, I want to raise some kids.”
Slann smiled softly as he looked at the bonfire.
“Are you planning to get married and have children?”
Kureo clicked his tongue, saying it was ordinary.
“No, I want to become a teacher… not just an instructor, but a real teacher…”
Slann looked at Rimmer and smiled slightly.
“I want to raise my children to be great swordsmen, just like the great lord took care of us in every detail.”
“Is that so…”
Honestly, I didn’t understand… Donation, material greed, gambling, laziness… these were all values that had nothing to do with me…
Even after 10 years, I felt that I had not been able to narrow the distance between myself and my subordinates.
“Lord, after this mission is over, would you like to go to the orphanage with me? “Kids like good-looking people, so they will definitely welcome you.”
“Why don’t you go to a gambling house with me instead of somewhere boring like an orphanage? “I will take you to the full course!”
Slann and Kureo waved their hands, saying they should go to the orphanage and the gambling house.
“Don’t do that, if you have money, leave it to me. I’ll double it in a year.”
Meanwhile, Drebin was rubbing his hands while talking about money.
“····”
Yuser fell asleep, snoring as if he had no interest in anything.
“if there is a chance·”
That’s what I said, but it was a time when wars were going on in dozens of places every day, so it was difficult to find time for anything other than missions.
A few more years passed, and my subordinates and I, together with Glenn, went to war against the Sacred Swordsman…
The day I thought it would always be the same…
It was the same day as always, with Slann looking at pictures of children in the orphanage, Yuser lazing around in his sleeping bag, Kureo fiddling with cards, and Drevin counting money.
All of the crew members died, and I suffered injuries that wouldn’t be surprising if I died with a broken Danjeon…
When I woke up again, I was in Sieghardt, and my minions couldn’t even leave a body behind…
To an elf, someone’s death is not that sad…
Because the dead become the mana of this world and we meet again…
But perhaps because my soul had melted into human life, I felt sick and my heart ached, as if I had been stabbed by a knife.
While I was living like an outcast and confined to my room for a while, Cheryl broke down the door of the dormitory and came inside.
“Wow! Look at the dust!”
Cheryl waved her hand as if she was dirty and glared at me.
“hey! “Go out and clean!”
She didn’t say anything else and kicked me out, saying she was going to clean.
I left the dorm with unsteady steps…
As I walked aimlessly, I ended up in a downtown area and saw a colorful signboard. It was a gambling place that Kureo said he often went to.
I went into the gambling house with the only gold coin I had in my pocket.
I lost everyone in the first game. Kureo said it felt good to crack the cards, but I didn’t feel anything. I don’t know why I’m doing this.
The next day, I went to the bank to see the money I had accumulated. There was a mountain of gold coins piled up in my counter. Drebin would have liked it, but I was not impressed at all.
With 100 gold coins, I went to an orphanage where Slann made donations regularly.
Several children were standing on tiptoe and looking up outside the fence. They seemed to be waiting because they didn’t know about Slann’s death.
At dawn, he returned, leaving behind gold coins and a letter that seemed to have been left by Slann.
The kids loved it, but my heart was still agitated.
Lastly, I went into the room that Cheryl cleaned and slept like Yuser for a few days.
No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t fall asleep, and my eyes opened on their own in the morning.
Donations, laziness, money, gambling… nothing made sense to me… Those guys and I were still running on parallel tracks…
Nevertheless, I repeated the action every day: looking at the money, donating, gambling, and sleeping as if I were dead.
Since when? I felt good about the accumulated money, my heart was full just by squeezing the cards at the gambling table, I felt proud just by seeing the faces of children when I donated, and the more I slept, the happier I became.
The day I turned from an elf to a human
The day I was able to comfort my subordinates…
For the first time, tears flowed…
And then I remembered Slann’s last words…
‘You said you wanted to be a real teacher, not an instructor…’
Slann seemed to realize something when he saw me and said that he wanted to become a real teacher.
For the first time in a long time, I went to Glenn and told him I wanted to become an instructor.
“…It took you a long time too…”
Glenn smiled bitterly, as if he had waited a long time… That wasn’t just for me…
“But you’re an instructor? “I can’t give the position of Sieghardt’s instructor to someone who has no qualifications. Pass the test yourself and become qualified.”
He did not regard him as an old comrade and told him to take the test and come back.
It was different from the time when he was in the dark and indifferent to everything. Glenn was also completely out of his mind.
“joy·”
Cheryl snorted as if she was pathetic, but couldn’t hide her happy eyes.
“Let’s do that”
I barely passed the extremely difficult test given by Glenn and was qualified to become an instructor.
And then I met a child with exceptionally sparkling red eyes, like Glenn, who came to Seipia.
That was my new beginning and my greatest happiness…
* * *
Kyaaaaaaa!
Rimmer bit his lip as he felt the shock of his wrist being twisted.
“ah····”
Did you lose your mind for a moment?
The pain inside was so severe that I felt like I lost consciousness for a moment.
“Where are you looking? I have to keep blocking it, otherwise…”
Sif raised her chin and fired her space sword at Dorian behind her.
Ugh!
I fell back with my legs that couldn’t move properly and blocked the sword strike aimed at Dorian’s neck.
“Whoop…”
It was time for Rimmer to exhale to prepare for the next attack…
Whoa whoa!
Sif opened the space and jumped out, stabbing the black sword into his chest.
“Wow!”
Rimmer coughed up blood and bent his upper body.
‘shit····’
The reaction was late. I could feel the black sword piercing my flesh and breaking my bones. I screamed from the pain as if my soul was being torn apart.
“Look, this is what happens when you take care of trash.”
Sif threw a deep sneer at Rimmer.
“If you die anyway, these things die too…”
“No…”
Rimmer raised his left hand and grabbed the black sword piercing his chest.
“My disciple is alive until I die… that’s enough…”
“…You still have this power?”
Sif laughed as she looked at the black sword that was caught in Rimmer’s left hand and would not fall out.
“Sir!”
Dorian came running, howling. He carried Aris on his back, pulled out his sword, and struck it at Sif’s neck.
Ugh!
Dorian’s sword strike was sharp and seemed to be beyond his realm, but it could not pierce Sif’s aura and melted away like fog.
“This trash!”
Sif kicked Dorian with all her might as if she was displeased.
“Ugh!”
Dorian fell down, coughing up blood, but he got back up and tried to tackle Sif.
‘That guy too…’
Rimmer’s thin lips trembled as he looked at Dorian, who had forgotten his fear.
‘You’ve grown a lot…’
The Dorian he knew had to hide in a corner, scared even in a situation like this, but running towards the transcendent gave him strength, even if it was just a little bit.
“I’ll kill you first!”
Sif pulled out the black sword and tightened her right hand as if she was going to kill.
“Where are you going?”
However, Rimmer did not let go of the black sword that pierced his chest, as if he would never let go.
“What a crazy guy!”
He moved his creaky right arm while receiving Sif’s punches with his bare body.
Whoa whoa!
As if Seifia’s divine object was granting his last wish, it created a magnificent wind that seemed to push away the darkness.
“What!”
Sif was shocked and lowered her left hand. It seemed like she was trying to defend herself using Aris’ Aura.
‘Still going…’
My whole body is overflowing with energy, as if the lost freedom has returned.
I held the sword briefly and raised my fingertips. I sheathed the sword, wrapped around the wind of Garunua that I had accumulated and the storm flow that Raon had given me.
Kyaaaaaaa!
The wall of aurors distorted by dark blue light was broken, and a deep sword mark was carved into Sif’s chest.
“ha····”
But now it seemed like my strength was completely gone and I couldn’t hold the sword…
“You bug!”
Sif could not bear it anymore and struck herself in the abdomen with the black sword. She felt that death was approaching.
Nevertheless, the left hand holding the blade of the black sword did not relax its strength…
Even if I ended up here, I had to protect my student and his family…
Even though my knees were shaking and my teeth were clenched in pain, I endured it.
However, there seemed to be a limit to his will, and eventually his hands began to lose strength and his hair began to turn white.
There were no regrets in this fight…
It was all okay that I didn’t reach the transcendental level and that I got injured while protecting others.
However, I was sad that I couldn’t protect Dorian anymore and that I couldn’t see the faces of Raon and the other children, so I let out a soft sigh.
“You damn bastard! good night! “Don’t just kill me!”
Sif pushed the auror into the black sword as if she wanted to inflict more pain even though it could kill her right now.
I came to my senses because of the pain that felt like my bones and flesh were being torn apart. There was nothing I could do.
Just waiting for death, as he exhaled his breath mixed with blood, the space split, and a human with wings came out, spilling blood.
After that, a familiar flame split the space, and Raon and the Gwangpungdae children appeared.
“As expected, it’s Raon Sieghart… but it’s a little late…”
Raon and the children turned around at Sif’s mocking words.
The eyes of the children who were agitated at the sight of themselves were dazzlingly stuck in my heart.
There’s no need to look like that…
The reason I’ve been alive until now…
The reason I endured with false arms and swallowing false danjeon was all because of you.
You made me live as a human once again…
Haaa…
I feel like the time given to me is running out…
What should I say?
Should I ask this damned idiot to be brutally killed?
Should I tell Glenn to be honest now?
Even though I can’t see it, should I ask Raon to be a better head of the family than anyone else?
Any disciples he knows will be able to fulfill any request.
But I didn’t want to say such heavy words to children who were already having a hard time…
Then the answer is fixed…
“always····”
Rimmer swallowed the blood rising from his chest and laughed. He did not want his disciples to remember his face with a distorted final expression.
“Be happy…”
He said his final goodbyes with the brightest smile of his life.
my little king
No, my greatest disciples…
