The Reincarnated Assassin is a Genius Swordsman - Chapter 859

Chapter 859

“ha····”

Cheryl, who was leaning against Tiger Rock like Rimmer, let out a heavy sigh.

“It looks like we’re going now…”

She chewed her lips thinly as she watched the Gwangpungdae swordsmen leaving the 5th training hall.

“They are better than me…”

Roen looked at the windstorm and put his hands together in front of him.

“I haven’t been able to send Rimmer away yet, but it seems like the people of Gwangpungdae have made up their minds to some extent.”

He said he was ashamed of his age and laughed.

“I can’t help it… I had time with that damn guy…”

Cheryl furrowed her brows deeply. Her complexion was dark as if she, too, had not yet acknowledged Rimmer’s death.

“A prosecutor always lives with death on his back.”

Glenn, standing on Tiger Rock, parted his lips heavily.

“However, if the swordsman dies, the death he carried on his back becomes a blade and becomes lodged in the hearts of those who remain.”

Glenn said he was still accepting the blade left behind by Rimmer and muttered to him to be patient.

“That’s right. All the rest of us can do is accept it.”

Despite her words of acceptance, Cheryl clenched her fists until her arms trembled.

“You damn bastard…”

Unlike when she showed her strong side in front of Gwangpungdae, her eyes were red with tears.

“He was a really good person.”

Roen looked up at the blue sky and touched the tiger rock.

“Every time he came to my workplace and made a mess…”

“···He’s not a good person, he’s just a crazy person, isn’t he?”

Cheryl laughed as if she was dumbfounded.

“I often work alone, so I think they spent time with me because they were worried that I might get lonely. Sometimes, when I couldn’t control my life, they even sparred with me.”

Roen nodded, saying that Rimmer often visited him and helped him in many ways.

“That guy?”

“Yes, everyone would think that if he wasn’t at the 5 training hall, he went to a gambling house, but Mr. Rimer traveled around Sieghart and spent time with many people. He was a person who had the talent to make people happy just by being around them.”

He said he was a light-hearted but serious person and put his hands together…

“Especially when talking about the Gwangpungdae, your eyes sparkled… Raon and the other prosecutors were so proud…”

Roen laughed, saying that thanks to him, he was able to find out most of the news without having to go to the 5th training center.

“It was the same for me… Even if Raon accomplished even a small task, he would come to Gajujeon and tell her the truth all day long… It was like watching the father of a child showing off how to walk.”

Glenn said he sympathized and smiled softly.

“He must have been the one who was most excited about Raon ascending to the transcendental level… So he must have gone away smiling…”

He licked his lips as if he regretted not having seen that face.

“····”

Cheryl lowered her head as she listened to the two people talking.

“Oh, now that I think about it, there’s one more…”

Roen looked at Cheryl and raised his index finger.

“Rimer was very happy when talking about Cheryl.”

“yes? “My story…”

Cheryl tilted her head as if asking what he was saying.

“There have been many times when Cheryl and I have asked for my help, telling us what conversations we had and how we fought.”

Loen lowered his eyes and opened them, saying that the people who made Rimmer the most happy were Cheryl and Gwangpungdae.

“I heard it often too…”

Glenn looked down at Cheryl and rested his chin.

“Even when you were embarrassed or did something good, you came to me and chatted.”

He told me that most of Rimmer’s chatter was about Sheryl and Gwangpungdae.

“That idiot…”

Cheryl covered her face with her hair and gritted her teeth.

“Why don’t you talk to me…”

She poured out her resentment toward Rimmer in a broken voice.

“····”

Glenn and Roen waited without saying a word, perhaps because they felt Cheryl’s feelings.

“···Actually, I wanted to go·”

Cheryl held her trembling wrist as she watched the Gwangpungdae leaving the 5 training ground.

“I wanted to give him his last memento, but I thought it was right to give it up to the children who lost their teacher.”

She bent her eyes with a mixture of regret and bitterness.

“Even if no one else knows, Rimer will know…”

Glenn patted Cheryl on the shoulder and told her not to worry.

“No… that idiot won’t know… just for now…”

Cheryl sighed and wiped away the tears from her eyes.

“I just hope those children overcome all their sadness and come back.”

She waved her hand as if to say hello to the windbreaker disappearing from sight.

“Yes… If it’s the Gwangpungdae, it will definitely grow even more and come back… When that day comes, just as Rimmer had hoped…”

Glenn nodded with deeply sunken eyes.

“We can promote Raon and Gwangpungdae to Jeon.”

* * *

‘Why?’

Raon raised his knees, looking at the gently burning bonfire.

-What do you mean?

After finishing the meal and having a late-night snack, Lars quenched his appetite and asked…

‘I still don’t feel like I’ve reached transcendence…’

Even though I reached the realm of transcendence that I had longed for, I did not feel a sense of accomplishment that I had become stronger.

Rather, the desire to go higher only grew.

-In essence, a mountain appears high before you climb it, and appears low after you climb it.

Lars waved his round finger left and right.

-You have already climbed the mountain of transcendence, so it is natural for you to look low. If you had stayed at Grand Master, you would still have looked like a huge wall.

‘I guess so…’

Raon nodded, looking at Lars, who was floating like a cloud.

-And since your ears died, you’ve only been looking ahead… Like a racehorse made to run with its eyes covered…

Lars sighed briefly…

-Because you experienced the death of a deaf ear, you are scolding yourself by promising that you never want to lose another person again.

The guy shook his head, saying that if it weren’t for that, he wouldn’t have trained all night long even on the day of the party.

‘···I think so·’

Raon let out a heavy breath. As Lars said, he was unable to enjoy the state of transcendence and was only running towards higher levels.

‘Because I don’t want to lose anyone anymore…’

I didn’t want to lose not only the Gwangpungdae swordsmen, but anyone in Sieghart, so I wanted to become strong like Glenn and solve everything.

‘Unexpected…’

Raon laughed while looking at Ras.

‘I didn’t know you knew me this well…’

-Because this king also experienced it…

Lars looked away as if he had experienced the same thing…

‘You went through the same thing? Now that I think about it, I’ve done it before…’

When Raon was about to ask Lars about the past, a sobbing sound was heard from the right.

When he turned his gaze, he saw Yua, who was on guard duty with him, burying his face in his knees and sobbing.

“Are you a toddler?”

Raon approached Yua and grabbed her shoulder.

“what’s the matter?”

“…It reminds me of Rimmer…”

The toddler shook his head without looking up.

“When I was on guard duty like this, he would always get up and talk to me… That reminded me of that…”

She sobbed, saying that she cried without realizing it because she remembered Rimmer.

“don’t cry····”

Julius, who was also on watch duty, bit his lip as if he was missing Rimmer.

“We must not be shaken. We must show ourselves to be firm so that he can leave with peace of mind.”

Contrary to what he said to Yua, Julius could not hold back his sadness and his face turned red.

ha·

Raon sighed briefly as he looked at Yua and Julius, who were trying to hold back their tears.

‘Come to think of it····’

I couldn’t even congratulate you properly…

Yua and Julius, out of anger over Rimmer’s death, broke the master’s wall and pulled out Kang Ki.

It hasn’t stabilized yet, so I can’t use my strength freely, but it’s clear that I’ve become a master, but I remembered that I haven’t been able to congratulate you until now…

‘Actually, it’s the same for me too…’

Although he too had reached transcendence, he had no time to receive congratulations, nor did he want to receive congratulations.

But I felt sorry for those children because they would be different…

“Then let’s cry just for today…”

Raon sat between Yua and Julius and pulled the two children’s heads into his arms.

Now, the two of them are adults in anyone’s eyes, but to me, they are still delicate children who need help.

Ahhh…

Yua sobbed loudly, pounding her chest, while Julius held back and shed tears like chicken droppings.

First, a very faint sound of sobbing could be heard from the tent where Gwangpungdae was sleeping.

Raon closed his eyes while holding Rimmer’s sword tightly.

‘More than I thought… no, of course, Master’s empty seat is a lot empty…’

I thought everyone had accepted their sadness, but it seems like they were still missing Rimmer somewhere in their hearts…

I was sad, yet strangely happy, because I learned what Rimmer means to Gwangpungdae.

Raon closed his eyes, feeling the clean wind blowing as if comforting him.

* * *

Whoo…

Raon let out a heavy breath as he looked at the green world. The great forest, the huge green land that protects Seifia, the sacred place of the elves, filled his field of vision.

When I saw the natural mana that was thicker than any other place and the bushes spread in all directions, I naturally drew the face of Rimmer, who had come here with me.

‘I felt like a fool back then…’

At that time, Rimmer had forgotten that he was an elf, and was shown having a conversation with the forest for the first time.

It was ridiculous, but I naturally laughed because it was a Rimmer-like thing to do…

“Umm…”

Yua joked to Rimmer at the time, asking if she was really an elf, and she seemed to recall that incident as well, her lips quivering.

“How do I get in here?”

Martha frowned as she looked at the dense forest with not a single gap in sight.

“It’s a naturally created maze, so you can’t go there without a unit leader, right?”

She waved her hand, saying she didn’t want to get lost.

“I sent word that we were going, so if you wait here, they will come to meet you.”

Buren answered calmly and crossed his arms.

“···Smells good·”

Runan said she liked the scent of the forest and hugged Yua, whose shoulders were shaking.

“Let’s wait… Just like Buren said, the Guardian will come…”

Raon stepped back, telling him to wait here.

Since I came to return Rimmer’s belongings, I didn’t want to go too far and ruin the forest.

However, even after waiting for over an hour, no elves came out of the forest, and there was no sign of any wild animals.

“Isn’t this a little strange?”

Crane frowned, saying it was too late.

“That’s right… Master, I’m sure the elves won’t forget their promise…”

Dorian also clenched his chin, thinking it was strange.

“Master is also an elf…”

“ah!”

Dorian gasped and covered his mouth at Burren’s words.

“Let’s go in…”

Raon turned his wrist and approached the main forest again.

“It’s a maze. How do you find the way?”

Marta narrowed her eyes as if asking if it would be okay.

“I think we can open the way…”

Raon nodded and stretched out his hand toward the bush.

‘Just like the Master did…’

Remembering how Rimmer opened the road, he brought in the wind of Garunua and created a path that connects to the natural mana that spreads across the great forest.

Whoa!

When the wind of Garunua penetrated into the mana of the great forest, the bushes that rose up without any gaps were pushed to the left and right as if they had a will, creating a path for entry.

Raon’s fingertips trembled as he looked at the bushes and trees swaying slightly as if welcoming him.

I felt strange as I recreated the scenery that Rimmer had opened for me with my own power.

“W-what!”

The crane opened its mouth…

“Is this even possible for you, Lord?”

He trembled his chin as if asking if he had elf blood in his blood.

“That’s stupid!”

Martha shook her head and told him not to talk nonsense.

“That’s…”

“I can smell the scent of Budjuju…”

Runaan sniffed and nodded…

“That’s right, I imitated my teacher.”

He nodded, saying that he used Rimmer’s wind to open a path through the forest like an elf.

“You really…”

Martha let out a sigh as if it was absurd.

“Let’s go in first. I think it would be best to arrive at Seifia before nightfall.”

It was when Raon took the lead and was about to advance through the forest.

Coo coo coo coo!

Near the center of the forest, a huge body appeared that seemed to cover the sky, then disappeared in a golden light.

Raon frowned as he looked at the sky that suddenly brightened.

“Dragon?”
