The Reincarnated Assassin is a Genius Swordsman - Chapter 535
Chapter 535:
The black shadow swam like a swamp and soon took on the shape of a human being. It was the stealth technique of shadow assassins.
Raon took a quick bite as he saw the ten assassins gathered in front of the lake.
‘They are all experts.’
Although it was impossible to detect the Aurors because they were far away, they were all assassins who had reached a high level in terms of their level of stealth skills and physical movements.
‘The strongest among those who have come so far.’
While waiting for two days, I saw several shadows trying to enter the factory, but the ones that came now were the best.
‘Then…’
Raon took his gaze away from the assassins who seemed to be about to enter the lake and looked back towards the village.
‘This probably means that Derus will be coming soon.’
The purpose of those assassins is to attract attention. It was clear that Derus was trying to attract the attention of the black market agents until they could inspect the inside of the factory.
Raon looked down at the factory and twisted his mouth.
‘I guess he doesn’t want to reveal his traces even at a time like this.’
When I remembered that weasel-like face, my fists tightened.
‘But this time it will be different.’
There is no trace of me inside the factory. Since the high-ranking wizard distorted the flow of mana itself, no information could be obtained from there, no matter how Derus it was.
‘You’ll think I’m making fun of you.’
Derus is a cold-hearted person, but once he reveals his true colors, he explodes uncontrollably.
Decades of time and an astronomical amount of money were lost when the receiver factory was destroyed, so even the most rational Derus would have no choice but to burst out in anger.
‘I’ve prepared everything for that.’
Even if we cannot completely reveal Derus’ identity, we have created a way to stop and track him. If all goes according to plan, we may be able to reveal his true colors within a short period of time.
‘Whoa…’
While Raon was rechecking the plan and calming his mind, Lars, who had fainted from the rubbery taste of Nadine’s bread, struggled to lift his eyelids.
-I came.
‘what?’
-The person you are looking for has arrived.
Lars pointed to the factory with his round hand.
‘I didn’t feel it?’
-Someone on a different level from you even used stealth, so you have no choice but to know. To be honest, I almost missed it too.
The guy frowned, saying he was a dangerous guy.
‘Has the force become stronger?’
Raon frowned and turned his eyes towards the lake. The assassins who had gathered began to enter the lake, making noise on purpose.
‘It catches Derus’ attention so he can search the factory.’
Looking at the movement of the waiting assassins, it seemed like Derus had already entered the factory as Ras had said.
[Budan Lord.]
Raon sent an Auror message to Denzel, who was hiding nearby.
[It looks like he came.]
Denzel nodded as if he understood and moved the black market agents near the lake.
The black market agents who heard his instructions attacked the assassins as they entered the lake, and a battle broke out.
Raon left Denzel in charge of the lake side and continued to focus on the factory.
‘You must never let go of your heart.’
If you miss the enraged Derus, many people may die, so you must never relax.
By using the ring of fire, I calmed my mind and focused on my energy. It has subtle auras on its hands and feet so that it can move at any time.
As I was slowly resonating the ring of fire and increasing my concentration, a man wearing a black robe appeared in front of the factory.
‘what?’
I couldn’t even see it at all. It felt like it was literally gushing out on the spot, with no mana flow or wind.
‘It’s a guy…’
You can tell just by looking at the silhouette wearing a robe. It was clear that Derus Robert had appeared after inspecting the factory.
Raon bit his lip and put his hand into his subspace pocket. I swallowed dry saliva as I touched the artifact and signal flare that would be used immediately if Derus moved.
But Derus did not move from that spot. It looked like he had been turned into a stone statue and not even breathing.
‘What on earth…’
Just as he exploded in the sea before, if Derus’s personality was the same as before, he should have lost his senses and moved to destroy the village and kill all the black market agents.
But the guy stood still without moving a finger.
‘Could it be that you found my traces?’
no. It can’t be.
I also checked with Lars. There is no trace of me left in there.
All that remained were a few sword marks that had been deliberately carved to mock him.
‘What on earth are you thinking?’
As Raon bit his lip and pressed down on his heart, which had begun to beat faster, Derus raised his head towards the sky.
The eyes of the guy writing something were revealed. In the blue eye light, something like red lava was stirring.
‘come! I’m sure he’ll come… huh?’
When I tightened the hand holding the flare, Derus suddenly disappeared.
‘Where did it go? Is it really a lake?’
Raon stood up and looked toward the lake.
If Derus targets the people in the lake, he won’t be able to last even a second. I had to set off a flare and save the black market agents.
-There is no need to shoot that.
Lars raised his hand as he was about to fire a signal into the sky.
-He went back.
‘What are you talking about?’
-It means that the person ran away.
Lars shook his head, saying that Derus had left the area altogether.
‘That makes sense…’
Raon looked near the lake. The shadow assassins no longer fought back and only focused on running away.
If Derus had been there, there would be no way the assassins would have retreated like that. As Ras said, they are trying to run away because Derus has disappeared.
“Huh….”
Raon couldn’t hold back and let out an empty voice.
‘That crazy guy just left?’
I know this because I have been watching Derus for decades.
He is certainly calm, but when something he has prepared for a long time is ruined, he gets angry as if his brain circuit has been damaged and erases everything around him. I couldn’t understand why he went back without doing anything.
‘Could it be that you weren’t angry?’
No, that’s not it. The guy’s eyes clearly had a terrible anger in them.
-That’s right.
Lars nodded calmly.
-That guy caused enough anger to reach the king. But I endured it and walked away.
The guy looked down at the space where Derus was standing and frowned.
-Anyway, he seems to have grown since I met him at sea. Both physically and mentally.
“Huh…”
Raon let out a shaky breath and sat down on the floor.
‘Is there no sky?’
Thousands. No, when I heard that the evil spirit that was playing with the lives of tens of thousands of people had grown even more, I felt sick to my stomach. It got to the point where I thought there was no such thing as God in the world.
-If you really want to kill that guy, hand yourself over to the main king. The king doesn’t like that guy’s behavior at all.
Lars waved his thick hand.
-Not only did he steal your food and ate it, he even played with your life, so the King himself will kill you!
As the guy waggled his cotton candy tail teasingly, a message appeared before my eyes.
[You have succeeded in a perfect assassination.]
[All stats increase by 12 points.]
[The grade of the trait < Sneak Attack > increases.]
[The grade of the trait < Divinity Blooming from the Darkness > increases.]
The commander of the messenger factory . The reward for assassinating the magician and the shadows has only now come.
-uh?
Lars blinked as he looked at the message.
-Does this make sense? Where is the point in giving away something like this just because I was good at assassinating people?
The guy yelled at me, saying he didn’t know the extent of it. But the message is not over yet.
[The target of the attribute < Jealousy > switches from Sheryl to Aris Sieghart.]
[The growth of the space sword increases faster.]
The second message is < Jealousy >. No, the object of < Envy > has changed from Cheryl to Aris.
-Why is this changing again?
‘It must be because I use the space sword.’
When Resia tried to destroy all the recipients at the end, the space sword was used to force divine power into their bodies.
The object of envy changed from Cheryl to Aris, perhaps because she was impressed by Aris while using the space sword in real combat for the first time.
Raon ate his mouth with satisfaction as he looked at the message.
‘It’s better for me if it’s like this.’
I have figured out almost all of the techniques of dual swordsmanship that Cheryl showed me, and now all that remains is mastery.
If you can quickly learn Aris’ Space Sword here, it will be of great help in future battles.
-Ugh….
‘Thank you. Lars.’
Raon patted Lars’ back, who was gaping.
‘Thanks to you, I might be able to reach that guy soon.’
-Ugh! Shut up and prepare some food! Spit out whatever food the king wants!
‘If I spit it out, I won’t be able to taste it, right?’
-It means eat it!

Demuron Village located in the southwestern part of the continent.
A man dressed in a black robe like a shadow appeared in front of a mid-sized village that made a living from herb and fruit farming.
“Who is there!”
“Take off your robe and identify yourself!”
Because it was late, the soldiers guarding the entrance to the village raised their polearms on the iron fence.
“…do it.”
The man in the robe muttered something in a very faint voice without even looking at the soldiers on the iron fence.
“What are you talking about!”
“I told you to take off your robe!”
The soldiers seemed to sense something was wrong and aimed their long spears, and another soldier under the iron fence ran into the village to bring the soldiers.
“….”
The man in black robes slowly raises his head. A strange flame was flickering in his beautifully vivid blue eyes.
“Ah…”
“Ugh…”
As soon as the soldiers saw the man’s eyes, they dropped the long spears they had been holding in their hands. It’s just fear that dominates their minds. I couldn’t lift a finger, as if my body was paralyzed.
Only then did the robed man’s voice sound.
“Consider yourself unlucky.”
Along with an eerie voice, the iron fence crumbled into powder and disappeared, and the bodies of the soldiers standing on it crumbled roughly like autumn leaves.
The lives of two people melted away in the darkness without even a scream.
“What’s going on!”
“It’s an intruder! “Sound the alarm!”
Soldiers and warriors guarding the village were seen running. They grabbed their swords and polearms and rushed towards the man in the robe.
Sigh!
The man in the robe didn’t even extend his hand and just walked down the street. As if his heavy steps had become a swamp of death, the warriors and soldiers who tried to run towards him were torn apart without even leaving a single bone behind.
“Kwaaaaaak!”
“Ah…”
“What is this… Wow!”
The vigilantes standing behind the soldiers screamed as their bodies melted like snow, turning into red blood.
“Run away too!”
“Get out of town quickly!”
“Never look back!”
The villagers realized that the man in the robe was a monster they could not dare to face, so they scattered in all directions, telling him to run away.
The man in the robes did not pursue the fleeing men. I just walked down the blood-filled path toward the center of the village.
Wooooow!
As he stretched out his hand toward the night sky, a strange sound enveloped the village.
“Once we get out of here… ah.”
“Now wait a minute! Please….
” “Queuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
.
They melted into powder before they could even scream in pain and fear.
Couuuuuuuuuuck!
Demuron Village, which had existed for over a hundred years, turned to dust and disappeared in less than a minute.
It looked as if an evil spirit, not a human being, had struck down innocent humans with a mace.
The man in the robe shook off his hands as if removing dust. Even though he killed over a hundred people, his leather gloves were clean without a single drop of blood.
As the eerie silence continued, with no wind blowing, Kubara, wearing a mask and black night clothes, came down.
“There is no tracer.”
I approached the man in the robe named Cuba and bowed my head.
“The only traces in the factory were ridicule.”
“Hmm…”
The man in the robe. Derus Robert turned his chillingly cold gaze. Kubara shook her shoulders without realizing it.
“me. He provoked me as if he knew my personality. “It’s as if you want to show your strength.”
“….”
Kubara swallowed dryly as she dared to look into Derus’ eyes. It was as it was said.
In the past, Derus would have exploded on the spot, erasing the village and massacring the black market warriors lurking around.
However, he did not give in to the provocation and only vented his anger when he came here. It was even more scary than before.
“It’s not like a black market. There is definitely someone behind them. “And someone who knows me.”
Derus raised his head towards the dark sky. He stared at the sky with ice-cold eyes and twisted his mouth.
“Find it. Even if it means tearing up the black market, find the guy behind it.”
“…All right.”
Kubara gave the only answer she had to give right now.
“Let’s break the links between factories and oil painting companies located elsewhere.”
“Why there…”
“If the factory in Capoley is discovered, it is not safe there either. “Move as quickly as possible.”
“yes.”
“Please clean up and come back.”
Derus left Kubara and the shadows to take care of the cleanup and headed to Robert’s territory alone.
As we got closer to the family, the creepy feeling that made us tremble disappeared and a unique, gentle and gentle atmosphere emerged.
After arriving at the family home, he did not return to the mansion immediately, but headed to the small training camp.
The training hall was brightly lit, and the youngest son, Repon Robert, and the swordsmen who followed him were sweating hotly and practicing their swordsmanship.
“uh? father!”
Repon found Derus and ran towards him with his sword lowered.
“What’s going on?”
“I came because I forgot something.”
Derus smiled softly and snapped his fingers. A blue dimension opened in the air, and a red sword of an elegant shape rose out of it.
“I forgot your birthday present. Sorry for late.”
“Oh no, what are you doing…”
Contrary to his words, Repon could not take his eyes off the red sword.
“Now you too must have a proper sword.”
Derus smiled and handed the red sword to Repon.
“thank you!”
Repon smiled brightly and was hugged by Derus.
“okay. “Let’s give it a big hug now before it gets bigger.”
Derus also smiled brightly and hugged Repon more deeply. His gloves were still clean as he caressed his son’s back.

After Raon composed himself, he approached Denzel.
“Raon?”
“It is over.”
“yes?”
Denzel tilted his head as if asking what he was saying.
“It already came and went.”
“Uh, when…”
He blinked as if he didn’t even see Derus standing in front of the factory.
“I went and inspected the entire factory. “I thought he was going to have a seizure, but he quietly disappeared.”
Raon sighed and lowered his head.
“sorry. “The plan went awry.”
“Oh no. “I’m just glad that no one died.”
Denzel waved his hand telling him not to do that.
“So is this place safe now?”
“yes. “It’ll be okay.”
Raon nodded as he looked at Capley Village and Lake Bayonne. Seeing as Derus left like this, it seemed unlikely that he would spread his magic over this village again.
“Please call the villagers again.”
“Now I can stop listening to that village chief’s nagging. Fortunately, the.”
Denzel smiled, saying he had had a good time.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
I laughed lightly, remembering the friendly and talkative village chief Berulic.
“We will continue to track them based on the information they left behind, but what will you do, Raon?”
“Where are Gwangpungdae and NCIA Yonan now?”
Raon did not answer right away but asked back.
“The Gwangpungdae is returning to Sieghart, and Encia is already in Sieghart.”
Denzel must have done some research in advance and immediately informed us of the locations of Gwangpungdae and NCIA.
“Then I guess I should go back too. to home.”
Raon looked towards the north and let out a low breath.
-Oh oh!
Lars, who was frowning at the reward, jumped up.
-rice! It’s rice! Finally, it’s time to eat! Nadine Sweetness to King Bon’s tongue, which was filled with the bad taste of bread…
‘Please, calm down…’
