The Reincarnated Assassin is a Genius Swordsman - Chapter 861
Chapter 861
“Then his soul now…”
Stelin placed his hand on his forehead with a stern expression.
“Are you bound by a spell?”
He clenched his molars as if he thought Rimmer’s soul was suffering…
“That’s the most likely…”
Shi Yan nodded his head with difficulty.
“According to what Raon said, I think he will be trapped in the space where the blood spell was engraved.”
She let out a heavy breath, saying it didn’t seem like a good situation.
“Then we have to go find it right now! I can’t watch him suffer even after he dies…
Erian said he was going and beat his chest.
“You don’t have the ability to see souls. Siyan and I need to go, but neither of us can move right now.”
Stelin narrowed his eyes, asking if he knew well.
“Then it would be better to hire a human shaman…”
“It is a high-level spell that can rob Aris Sieghardt of his power in an instant. An ordinary shaman will not be able to solve it.”
He shook his head, saying it wasn’t going to be easy either way…
“····”
Raon whetted his appetite while listening to the conversation between Stelin and Erian.
‘It’s not a dungeon…’
I think it’s here…
Without the help of the Requiem Sword, it is impossible for Rimmer to appear in one’s image.
If he, who was thought to have died and left, had not come to the World Tree, there was a high possibility that he would still be inside the Requiem Sword.
“Well… I think Master is in here…”
Raon thrust his requiem sword forward.
“what? “What is that…”
Stelin lowered his eyebrows as if asking what he was saying.
“Are you saying he’s on that sword?”
Erian also widened his eyes as if he did not understand the meaning of the words.
“There’s something I couldn’t tell you in detail because it might be hard to believe.”
Raon sighed briefly and lowered his hand.
“Actually, when I lost consciousness in the basement of that dungeon…”
He told me about meeting Rimmer in the world of images after he fell while protecting Gwangpungdae.
“There are many souls who are friendly to me within the Requiem Sword… I think they helped me meet my teacher…”
He asked me to check for myself and held out the requiem sword.
“Umm…”
Sterin looked at the requiem sword and took a step back.
“Unfortunately, I don’t have the ability to see that right now… Instead…”
He pushed Siyan, who was blinking blankly, forward.
“This child will be able to confirm…”
“Did you really see your brother there?”
Even though Siyan suddenly came forward, he was not embarrassed and asked about Rimmer.
It seemed like the only thing on her mind right now was about Rimmer…
“Yes, otherwise Master wouldn’t have appeared in my image.”
Raon nodded and handed the requiem sword to Siyan.
“This is the requiem sword…”
“Yes, that’s right, it’s a magic sword, but for ordinary people…”
“It was a sword created by the continental craftsman Kuberud Jayton to console those who died at the hands of the White Blood Cult, but it was filled with resentment, so it ended up becoming a magic sword!”
Shiyan’s eyes suddenly lit up and he began explaining about the Requiem Sword.
“No one could use it, but after it fell into the hands of Raon, it began to shine, and now it has become a sword that is better than anything else!”
She gave rapid-fire explanations as if she knew more about the Requiem Sword than she did.
“uh····”
Raon swallowed his saliva as he looked at Siyan’s sparkling eyes.
‘Yes, this is the kind of person he was…’
Since he knows all the information about himself, he could have made a book with Encia.
I laughed because it felt like I was seeing Siyan’s true face after a long time…
“S-sorry…”
It was only after Siyan finished explaining the requiem sword that he blushed as if he realized his actions.
“It’s okay… But how did you know the detailed information about the Requiem Sword? “I probably never told you that far…”
“Oh, that’s…”
Her trembling eyes turned behind herself…
“Wheeeee…”
When I turned my head, I saw Dorian making a forced whistle.
-Well, when I got that, the only thing next to you was your wallet…
Lars chuckled, saying it was natural.
“under····”
Raon sighed as he looked at Dorian, who was sweating coldly.
“Don’t blame Dorian, I was forced to ask.”
Shi Yan shook his head in a hushed voice.
“No, I was just curious.”
Raon smiled at the slightly brightened atmosphere.
“Then let me take a look…”
Siyan accepted the requiem sword with a red face that did not go away with shame.
Whoa!
A blue-colored spirit energy quietly rose around her and wrapped around the red blade of the requiem sword.
“This sword…”
Siyan closed his eyes and let out a deep and heavy breath.
“I knew, but I’m really filled with sadness…”
Her red lips trembled as if she was directly feeling the vengeful spirits remaining in the requiem sword.
“None of us died comfortably… If it weren’t for Raon, I think we would have run away a long time ago…”
Shi Yan’s complexion turned white as if he was reading the memories of the vengeful spirits.
“However, strangely enough, the darkness of the souls has been lifted little by little. It must be thanks to Raon.”
She felt Raon’s emotions through the requiem sword and smiled slightly.
“But the negative energy is still much stronger… huh? brother!”
Siyan opened his eyes and looked at the requiem sword.
“Hey, there is! “My brother’s soul is truly inside this sword!”
She let out a scream, saying that Rimmer’s soul resided in the requiem sword.
“Whoa…”
Raon breathed a sigh of relief. I was worried that he was trapped somewhere else, not the Requiem Sword, but fortunately, it seemed to remain inside.
“Ha, that guy!”
Stelin also let out a hollow laugh as if he was now relieved.
“Our unit owner is really amazing… amazing…”
Burren gave a weak applause towards the requiem sword.
“I think I’m sleeping…”
Runaan bowed her head, saying it was like Rimmer.
“I see… Didn’t you forget it while you were sleeping and couldn’t come out?”
Martha shook her head, saying it was obvious.
“I’m not sleeping…”
Siyan hugged the requiem sword in her arms and bit her lip.
“My brother was comforting the vengeful spirits inside… while holding back the resentment that was buried in his own soul…”
She shed the tears she had been holding back, saying that Rimmer was comforting the souls inside the requiem sword.
“ah····”
Raon looked at the requiem sword flashing red light and grabbed Rimmer’s sword.
‘You don’t stay still even there…’
Just as Rimmer took care of himself and the Gwangpungdae when he was alive, he now seemed to be comforting the vengeful spirits in the Requiem Sword.
“Vice lord…”
The toddler sat down on the floor and started crying.
“Why does it keep ringing?”
“That’s right. When I’m around, I only make jokes that aren’t funny.”
Dorian and Crane burst into tears as if they had been punched in their mouths.
An untimely shower fell in a corner of Seifia…
* * *
Jerbuk·
The sound of wet footsteps was heard in a dark cave where not even the slightest light came in.
“Are you going to sleep right away?”
A man wearing a strange snake helmet looked into the vast darkness and lifted his chin.
Couuuuuuuuuck!
The deep darkness on the other side of the man stirred, and the diamond-shaped golden pupil opened… It was the pupil of the dragon, the owner of this dungeon…
[What’s going on?]
The dragon glared at the man wearing the snake helmet with fierce eyes, as if he was angry at having his rest interrupted.
“I’m talking about Seifia, which you warned me about a little while ago…”
A man wearing a snake helmet twitched his fingers in a tampering manner.
“Raon Sieghart came… the elves welcomed him… is that okay?”
He drew a faint smile inside his helmet, asking if he knew who Raon was.
Cheeeeee!
The dragon’s pupils narrowed as thin as a blade.
[Are you ultimately ignoring my warning?]
A scream like a human scream began to sound in the darkness of the endless cave due to the anger of the transcendent being.
“That’s right, you can’t just leave it alone…”
The man wearing the snake helmet curled the corners of his mouth as if he was going to have fun in the future.
“It’s been a while since I went to Seyfia.”
* * *
After ordering Gwangpungdae, who had exhausted his emotions, to rest, Raon went to Sterin’s house again.
Sterin and Siyan were waiting in the small house, which was said to be the guardian’s residence.
“Thank you… for not forgetting that guy and taking care of him…”
Stelin let out a long sigh, saying that his grandson was always rude.
“No, rather, I am only receiving help.”
Raon bowed his head, saying that he survived thanks to Rimmer.
“Thank you for your kind words…”
Stelin smiled slightly as if it wasn’t bad to hear his grandson’s praise.
“But what happens to Master’s soul now?”
Raon asked as he touched the requiem sword he received again.
“I will send your soul back to the World Tree as soon as the sun rises tomorrow.”
Siyan said that if things continue like this, Limer’s soul could also become a vengeful spirit and must be taken out.
“I guess so…”
Raon briefly took a sip of his food. I couldn’t talk to him or feel him, but I felt a little sad that Rimmer had completely disappeared from my side.
-Still, sending it is the right thing to do…
Lars looked at himself with sunken eyes…
-Even though you could have saved the ear piece, you decided to let it go…
‘yes·’
If you ask Merlin, you could have saved Rimmer even if it took a long time.
However, I gave up because no one would want to be revived by wearing a helmet and borrowing someone else’s body.
“Whether you are a human or an elf, it is best to follow the flow of nature.”
Siyan also seemed to understand what he was thinking and explained. Seeing that his voice began to tremble, he seemed to be nervous again.
“All right·”
Raon nodded, saying he understood.
“Oh, now that I think about it, I wasn’t in a good mood so I couldn’t celebrate properly…”
Stelin smiled and clapped his hands.
“Congratulations on reaching transcendence… I don’t think I can compete with you anymore…”
He nodded profusely, saying that it was an achievement that would remain in the history of the continent.
“transcendence? Well, then you have awakened…”
Siyan widened his eyes as if he had now realized…
“Yes, I was lucky enough to reach transcendence.”
“iced coffee! “I was so depressed that I didn’t realize it!”
She opened her mouth so wide that her fist went in, as if she was genuinely shocked.
“We have already adapted to the realm of transcendence. We have become able to manipulate the energy of nature more freely than we elves. This may be why the Great Forest opened the way.”
Stelin smiled slightly, saying that cases like this are not common.
“transcendence! Transcendence! “I have to use this!”
Siyan let out a gasping sound, took out a book and writing utensil from somewhere, and started writing something at random.
“Is it finally starting now?”
Stelin sighed briefly as if he was used to it.
“Starting?”
“I was taking notes about you like this until I heard that Rimmer had died… I said I was going to turn everything into a book, but nothing was empty…”
He said it was literally a novel and frowned.
“Ahaha…”
Raon laughed as he looked at Siyan, who had started writing with madness in her eyes.
“If that happens, there is no answer…”
Stelin said, “Let’s leave it behind and go out,” and lifted his finger.
“Ah yes····”
Raon scratched the back of his head and left Stelin’s residence. I was already worried about how many gross exaggerations would appear in that book.
“Still, I’m glad Shiyan has brightened up. I was worried for a while because he was too serious.”
Sterin bowed his head, thanking him for letting him return to his usual shy self.
“thanks·”
“No, I didn’t do anything.”
Raon said absolutely no and waved his hand.
“You are still the same…”
Stelin laughed, saying nothing had changed.
“Hey, Guardian…”
Raon’s expression hardened after hearing Stelin’s words.
“Are you in any pain?”
The Stelin I saw today had wrinkles like tree bark carved all over his body, and he looked weak.
I was worried because he didn’t look this tired after the purification ritual.
“Transcendence is amazing… I feel it too… No, I can see everything…”
Stelin smiled slightly as he looked at his own face reflected in the lake.
“Guardian…”
“There is no pain, it’s just that the end has come.”
He turned around and calmly rested his chin.
“Unlike the world tree that grows endlessly, the time has come to return to the dust.”
“ah····”
Raon bit his lip as he looked at Stelin’s calm eyes.
If it was a disease, it could be cured, but if the lifespan had reached its limit, there was no way.
“Don’t make that face. I’ve lived enough.”
Sterin laughed, saying that there are not many races that live as long as the high elves.
“Guardian…”
“Still, it’s a pity that I have to leave Shiyan alone… As you know, that guy can’t even call his best friend right now…”
“Yes·”
Raon nodded heavily· Since the last war, the connection with Elaim and Ifrit has been completely lost·
It seemed like they were concentrating on restoration work in the spirit world.
“So, please come and talk to me at least occasionally… That guy will like it…”
Stelin bowed his head, asking everyone to take good care of Siyan.
“Don’t do this!”
Raon waved his hand and shook his head.
“Of course it has to be done!”
Because of the things I received from Stelin, Siyan, and Rimmer, it wasn’t strange that I was always standing behind them instead of talking to them.
“Thank you for saying that.”
Stelin held my hand tightly as if he meant it. I felt the wrinkles on the back of his hand, and my heart ached.
“You really don’t have to feel burdened, Sieghart and I don’t think of Seifia as a stranger.”
Raon expressed his thoughts with sincerity.
Although the temporary alliance with Seifia was postponed due to various reasons, he considered the elves here as his friends.
“Raon…”
Stelin seemed a little surprised, unable to speak, his old eyes trembling.
“You must be tired, so I’ll come back tomorrow.”
Raon left for his lodgings, saying he would come back tomorrow morning when he sends Rimmer’s soul away.
“····”
Sterin looked at Raon’s back for a while, then took a short breath and went back home.
“Here, Raon broke the wings of the Angel Knights…”
Siyan was still busy writing records about Raon.
“Heh…”
Stelin walked up to Siyan, who was lost in her imagination, and smiled slightly.
“Maybe you’re right…”
He stroked the head of his engrossed granddaughter and smiled without wrinkles for the first time in a long time.
* * *
The moment when the world is most full of mana at dawn the next day…
Raon and Gwangpungdae followed Sterin and entered the sacred place where the roots of the World Tree were planted.
Phew…
Raon took a breath and raised his gaze.
The World Tree, rising as if to cover the entire sky, was sparkling with a brilliant and elegant light, engulfed in natural mana.
“Well, it seems bigger than before?”
Dorian rubbed his eyes and sighed.
“You have a good sense of vision…”
Stelin smiled and nodded.
“The world tree continues to grow even now. When it fully grows, it might really reach the sky.”
As he said, the world tree was bigger than before. If you didn’t strain your eyesight, you couldn’t see the end of it.
“But it seems like growth has slowed down a bit lately… as if something is blocked…”
“Is there a reason?”
“I don’t know exactly… I have to leave it to Siyan now…”
Stelin shook his head, saying that now the world tree purification ceremony should be left to Siyan.
“I plan to check it out slowly after you guys go back.”
He shook his head and told me not to worry too much.
“I’ll start now, but before that…”
Siyan approached Raon and Gwangpungdae holding a requiem sword.
“Please say your last goodbye to my brother…”
She bowed her head, asking Rimer to say hello so that he could leave safely.
“····”
Raon looked at the requiem sword and comforted his trembling lips.
“Thank you so much. You have been the most comfortable and great teacher I have ever had.”
I bowed my head and said thank you sincerely.
“We will live happily for a long time, so don’t worry and leave.”
Martha bent down, holding her trembling hands tightly.
“At first, I really hated you, but now I have no choice but to acknowledge you as the best teacher. Thank you, Master.”
Burren bowed in a polite manner as if he were dealing with Glenn.
“We will protect Sieghart, so I hope you can sleep comfortably there…”
Runaan shed tears and blessed Rimmer with a long sleep.
“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…”
“Aaaah!”
“I will miss you! Damn it!”
Dorian and Yua sobbed, while Crane and Julius furrowed their brows and lowered their heads.
After exchanging greetings with the Gwangpungdae swordsmen, the requiem sword returned to Siyan’s hand.
“Oppa, thank you, and I love you.”
With tears in his eyes, Siyan put down the requiem sword at the root of the World Tree and stood up.
Wooooow!
A sea-like blue light rose around her and wrapped around the requiem sword filled with resentment.
It seemed like they were trying to use the power of the World Tree and spirit power to draw out Limer’s soul remaining in the Requiem Sword.
“hmm?”
But Shi Yan suddenly furrowed her brows and trembled her lips.
“W-what are you doing…”
Siyan looked at the requiem sword and widened his eyes as if he did not understand.
“Come out quickly…”
“What’s going on?”
“This damn bastard won’t come out!”
She gritted her teeth with an absurd expression filled with tears.
“You burnt-out! Come out! “You’re a nuisance!”
-That’s the way it is!
Lars chuckled as if he was happy to see you.
“····”
Raon blinked as he watched Siyan wrestling with Rimmer in the requiem sword.
‘Is that elf starting to leech again?’
