The Reincarnated Assassin is a Genius Swordsman - Chapter 860
Chapter 860
“what! “It’s the dragon that just disappeared, right?”
Martha looked up at the clear sky and frowned.
“Why is there a dragon in Seifia?”
She chewed her lip as if feeling ominous·
“Dragon····”
Buren clenched his fists, revealing his ferocious killing intent. He seemed to still be angry at the dragons that destroyed Sieghart’s castle walls.
“Gold Dragon… It was even bigger than Jackie Chan…”
Runaan bowed his head, saying it was an ancient-level gold dragon.
“Well, then you’re not the Dragon Lord?”
Dorian gasped and his eyes trembled.
“The Dragon Lord is the gold dragon, and he’s the biggest!”
“It’s not Rod…”
Raon lowered his gaze and shook his chin.
“Because the Dragon Lord is bigger than the Gold Dragon that just disappeared…”
I have encountered the Dragon Lord in its full form several times, so I have a rough idea of its size.
The gold dragon that disappeared a little while ago was an ancient dragon, but it was not a lord…
-That’s right…
Lars nodded quickly·
-Unlike that old guy, he looked alive. Whoop!
‘Why are you drooling all of a sudden?’
Raon tilted his head as he watched Lars wiping the area around his mouth.
-The lizard’s flesh looked so soft that even the king came out without knowing.
The guy was drooling continuously as if he was already thinking of a whole roasted dragon.
‘I’m sorry, but it’s already gone…’
Raon sighed with cold eyes.
‘Awake from your dream·’
In fact, there are many things to ask dragons…
Why did they destroy Sieghardt’s castle wall, why did they join Oma, and what is their hidden purpose?
The dragons had to be punished, and there were a lot of things to figure out, but there was no time to chase and fight someone who had already disappeared…
As Karun warned, there was no guarantee that he would win.
– For some reason, I feel like I will eat again… no, I will meet again…
Lars blinked his hazy eyes as if he was missing the whole roasted dragon.
‘This insectivore is real…’
Raon shook his head and looked back.
“Let’s go. We’ll find out the situation when we arrive at Seifia.”
I waved my hand at Gwangpungdae and climbed onto the path opened by the trees and bushes.
Recalling the memories of coming with Rimmer in the past, I headed towards Seifi.
“stop·”
Raon walked through the forest for about 30 minutes and then stopped.
“Is there a problem?”
Buren quickly looked away with his hand on his sword.
“Someone is coming…”
Raon lowered his hand and lightly relaxed his fingers.
Although it was still far away, I could feel a very subtle presence ahead…
It was the movement of elves who could use nature itself like wild animals.
As I stood there waiting, the dense bushes on the other side parted, and elves wearing bows and swords appeared.
They were the guardians who protected Seifia.
Its beautiful appearance, which makes your mouth drop every time you see it, shines even more elegantly in the sunlight falling gently between the forests.
“I meet my benefactor…”
The blue-haired elf leading the guardian bowed his head towards Raon.
It was Erian, a friend of Rimmer and the head of the Guardian.
After summoning Ifrit and rescuing Seifia, he called himself her benefactor.
“Meet your benefactor!”
Other guardians followed Erian and bowed to Raon.
“hello·”
“How have you all been?”
Dorian and Yua waved goodbye to friendly faces.
However, because they had come to announce the death, their complexions were not bright.
“Long time no see·”
Raon bowed his head to Erian and the guardians.
“And I’m sorry… I was waiting outside the forest, but you didn’t come, so I had to come in first.”
Even if I had been invited, it was like I had been kicked in the door, so I apologized first.
“No, we should have gone, but we were late because of work.”
Erian shook his head in a polite tone, unlike when he came with Rimmer.
“If it is, is it related to dragons?”
I asked, looking at Erian’s eyes that seemed to be filled with irritation.
“…I see you saw it…”
Erian let out a short sigh as if he was embarrassed.
“That’s right, we had a guest for a while.”
He admitted that the dragon had come as if there was nothing he could do since it was seen.
“May I ask what is going on?”
“···sorry·”
Erian shook his head resolutely.
“No matter how much we are benefactors, it is difficult to tell about our personal matters.”
He put his hands together and said he was sorry, saying it wasn’t something he could say.
“No, I asked something pointless.”
Raon waved his hand at Erian·
“···I have heard the circumstances·”
Erian’s lips trembled slightly as he looked at Rimmer’s sword stuck in Raon’s waist.
“So there’s one thing I’d like to know…”
“Speak…”
“Rimer, is that guy really dead?”
“Yes, that’s right·”
Raon took a deep breath and said that he personally sent Rimmer.
“I see… Then as expected…”
Erian’s complexion darkened as if caught in the shadow of a tree, and the moods of the other guardians also became heavier.
‘It’s a little strange…’
Raon lowered his eyebrows as he felt the air suddenly calming down.
This was different from what Rimmer said, which said that elves accept death naturally.
-It’s definitely strange…
Lars nodded as if agreeing with his thoughts.
-It wasn’t like this before when the fire spirit came out and the ghosts died…
The guy narrowed his eyes while talking about the time when the Red Flame Demon attacked.
‘Then Master was also a special being…’
Looking at the eyes of Erian and the Guardians, it seemed like Rimmer was a special person to them all…
“I’ll take you to Seipia… Oh, before that, may I ask one more question?”
Erian turned his back and stopped as if to follow.
“What was his last day like?”
He turned his head back as if he wanted to hear that much…
“You were smiling, as if you had shaken off all your regrets.”
Raon smiled bitterly, recalling the last sight of Rimmer.
“I see, thank you for telling me.”
Erian nodded with slightly brighter eyes and moved forward.
‘It’s frustrating…’
I looked at Erian’s back and chewed my lip. Since Erian, who seemed to be made from the word elf, was in such a state, I was worried about how Siyan, who was greatly influenced by humans, would react.
ha····
Raon let out a long sigh while holding Rimmer’s sword.
‘What should I do, Master?’
* * *
The true sacred place of Seipia, where the world tree takes root.
“No·”
The elf, whose very being sparkles in gold as if wrapped around the sun, violently struck down his hand.
“This is something that should never be accepted!”
She shook her head, saying it was something she couldn’t even think about.
“Siyan·”
Seyfia’s guardian, Sterin, called out to the blonde elf and sighed briefly.
As if he had been soaking in the end of time, his muscles were lost and wrinkles were etched all over his face.
“The situation is not good. If they attack suddenly, there is no way for us to stop them now.”
“But grandpa!”
Siyan bit his lip and stamped his foot.
“Don’t be so angry, but think calmly…”
Stelin shook his head calmly.
“I am becoming weak even at this very moment, and you cannot call Elaim either.”
“that····”
Shi Yan couldn’t refute and bit her lip.
“During the last war, Elaim and Ifrit arrived in a state where they were unable to stabilize the spirit world, so the two spirit kings have not been able to answer your call until now… Currently, Seifia lost both her sword and shield…”
Stelin clenched his fists with trembling hands and shook his head.
“Then you can ask for help… There are Sieghart and other five emperors…”
Siyan clenched his fist, saying he should contact someone else.
“until when?”
Stelin sighed briefly.
“To protect this place, you must at least become a transcendental… There is no place that can continue to dispatch transcendentalists here when war may break out at any moment… And Sieghart is not in a good situation either…”
He sighed, saying he hadn’t heard the situation…
“Siyan. You must protect your tree with your own hands. If you borrow someone else’s help, the ground will become barren from the beginning.”
Stelin shook his head, saying there was a limit to borrowing someone else’s power.
“First of all, think from various directions…”
As he was about to continue speaking, Leiran approached and bowed his head.
“Guardian, sorry for what you said, Raon is coming this way.”
“Raon?”
Shi Yan looked startled and raised his head like a thunderbolt.
“Has it already arrived?”
“Yes, while you two were talking, Erian came out to meet you.”
Rayran nodded, saying he would arrive soon.
“okay····”
Stelin nodded and slowly got up.
“Let’s talk about this later…”
He said he would go out to meet Raon and opened the door to Seipia.
“···all right·”
Siyan bit her lip and nodded. She looked up at the World Tree and went outside.
* * *
A mysterious sight as if the forest itself had been transformed into a village, rather than being developed into a village.
Raon smiled slightly as he looked at Seifia, who had not changed at all.
‘It’s still the same here…’
There were many places that were burned in the previous battle with the Red Flame Demon, but they had returned to their original Seifia as if they had been restored by the power of nature.
‘No, they’re not all the same.’
Unlike before, the energy of nature came closer as if melting into my skin. It was like a feeling I felt because I had reached transcendence.
‘I feel like my aura is rising even if I stay still…’
Perhaps because the World Tree is nearby, the dense mana naturally melts into the body.
Pure mana was filling up in the mana circuit of the whole body…
However, I wasn’t that happy because there wasn’t the person next to me who could make me the most happy about this.
“I meet my benefactor…”
The elves standing at the entrance to the village bowed their heads towards Raon. They also did not look as good as Erian.
“Long time no see·”
Raon pursed his lips and bowed his head to the other elves.
“hello!”
“how are you?”
Dorian and Yua, who came together earlier, also said hello to the elves.
“Nice to meet you·”
“The atmosphere is different from that person…”
“hello·”
Burren, Marta, and Runan also nodded as they looked at the elves blending in with nature.
As if they had not forgotten that they had come to convey the news of Rimmer’s death, the Gwangpungdae did not even turn their gaze elsewhere, wrapped in calm air waves.
When Raon nodded in satisfaction while looking at the wind stand, the elves in front of the village stepped back, and Sterin and Siyan walked forward.
Siyan’s eyes were red and her shoulders were shaking, as if she was suppressing her sadness, and Stelin seemed to have aged by several decades while she had not seen him.
My heart ached because it felt like the emotions of the two people were conveyed as they were.
“Meet the Guardian…”
Raon bit his lip and bowed his head towards Sterin with a frenzy.
“Wake up…”
Stelin spoke in a calm tone and shook his chin.
“I was going to call you already, but thank you for coming…”
He waved his wrinkled hand as if he was welcome.
“Raon…”
Shiyan gave me a greeting with her sleeves tucked in. Seeing that the word “jonjal” didn’t come out of her mouth, I felt Rimmer’s death once again.
“Follow me…”
Stelin made a light gesture and turned his back. I felt the strength in his steps disappear and my heart felt like it was being squeezed.
“···yes·”
Raon followed Stelin without being able to say everything he wanted to say.
He stopped in front of a small house that was not suitable for a guardian’s residence.
“okay·”
Stelin nodded, leaning his back against a tree that stood straight up to the sky.
“I heard that he died, but the reason wasn’t properly written. It looks like you suffered a lot. Can you tell me?”
As if he had already realized his state, he nodded and asked me to tell him the situation.
“Yes, I’ll tell you from the beginning…”
Raon nodded and slightly trembled his lips.
Maybe it was because I had comforted the children when I came here, but when I tried to bring it up again, I couldn’t stop talking.
As I was trying to catch my breath, I felt a warm feeling on my back. Runaan was touching my hand as if she recognized my feelings.
“are you okay·”
Runaan nodded as if telling him to take his time…
“thanks·”
Raon let go of his suppressed emotions with a small smile.
“I will tell you from the beginning… In the previous war…”
I told Siyan and Stelin everything that had happened so that they could understand the whole situation.
“ah····”
Siyan’s chin trembled as if he had never imagined something like that could have happened.
“I see… So that means he’s definitely dead…”
Stelin sighed briefly.
“But why did it happen like that?”
Erian narrowed his eyes as if he didn’t understand…
“···sorry·”
Raon kneels in front of Sterin.
“If I had been a little more cool-headed or stronger, this wouldn’t have happened. I’m really sorry.”
I lowered my head and trembled my lips.
Realizing my teacher’s death was very different from telling it to his family.
My hands and feet were shaking from the pain that felt like my heart was being stabbed by a knife.
“It’s okay. He died protecting you, so he would have been satisfied. So he would have left smiling.”
Stelin gently reached out and grabbed his shoulder.
“Besides, haven’t you heard it before? Elves become one with nature through death. It doesn’t mean the end, but a new beginning.”
He shook his head and told me not to worry.
“The reason we are so serious is not because Rimmer is dead…”
Erian sighed as if he was frustrated.
“yes? then····”
“No matter where an elf dies, he or she returns to this World Tree and after his or her soul is purified, he or she blends into nature… But…”
Shi Yan bit her lip and shook her head.
“My brother’s spirit hasn’t returned yet.”
She shook her head, saying that’s why everyone is worried…
“He is truly a damned guy. He makes me worry even when I die and when I live.”
Stelin frowned deeply…
“····”
Raon looked at the people with frowns and swallowed dry saliva as he placed his hand on the requiem sword.
‘Wait a minute then…’
Was this elf really stuck here?
