The Reincarnated Assassin is a Genius Swordsman - Chapter 557
Episode 557
“Whoa….”
The crane let out a sigh so strong that it erased the early morning fog.
“I really didn’t know I was going to train you until last night. “He is a very strong person.”
He muttered that he wanted to faint and tapped his shoulder with a lightly clenched fist.
“I know. “I thought I would spend the afternoon, but I didn’t know I would be swinging my sword until night.”
Burren nodded in agreement. The fatigue of training was also visible on his face.
“How pathetic!”
Marta frowned at Burren and Crane.
“Those guys who picked up swords to become prosecutors can’t even withstand that level of training, so what can we do?”
She clicked her tongue with a full sneer.
“Nachalnyeo. “My legs are shaking.”
Runaan approached Marta before she knew it and poked Marta’s thigh with her finger.
“Aaaagh!”
Martha screamed and jumped up because it was the place where she was hit by Raon’s sword yesterday.
“This crazy thing!”
Marta huffed like a hungry animal and stretched out her hand toward Runaan.
“Pretentious girl.”
“Are you crazy because you want to die?”
Runaan ran away with his tongue sticking out, and Marta chased after him with her sword drawn.
“You two are full of energy this morning.”
Dorian sighed, rubbing the underside of his darkened eyes.
“Are you okay?”
“It’s not okay. But now I’m kind of used to it.”
“You got used to it?”
“yes. “When I stayed at our store before, I practiced training that could actually kill me.”
“What kind of training can you possibly die from?”
“Something like asking you to climb a cliff and then rolling a rock or collapsing the cliff itself.”
He said he really thought he was going to the underworld and sweat poured from his forehead in this cool weather.
“Hmm…”
Mark Goeton, who was standing next to him, also closed his eyes as if he was remembering that time.
“What about the rice annex? “Is it hell there too?”
Buren left Dorian and Dokke shaking in fear and looked at Yua and Julius.
“no! Please take good care of it! “He does everything I ask him to do.”
Yua raised her hand and shook her head.
“you’re right. “He doesn’t say anything even when he rests in the annex.”
Julius licked his lips as if he felt even more regretful about that.
“But why are you being such a crazy dog here?”
Buren shook his head, saying it was difficult.
“If we make a fuss again today, I’m going to be really tired.”
“But I felt a little better yesterday, so I’ll be fine today. We can go quietly…”
As Dorian smiled slightly, the door to the training hall opened and Raon came in.
Gooooooo!
He didn’t even kick down the door like Rimmer, but the intimidating aura emanating from Raon made it impossible for the Gwangpungdae swordsmen to take their eyes off him.
“That guy. You look really bad? “Are you sure it’s really been resolved?”
Buren swallowed dry saliva as he tapped Dorian with his elbow.
“uh? It’s in a state of madness… non-emergency! Bisaaaaaang!”
Dorian shouted emergency and ran to the front of the podium. Other prosecutors also sensed the dangerous atmosphere and quickly lined up in front of the podium.
“Hahaha…Hap!”
Rimer, who was lying on the platform, yawned and jumped up when he saw Raon’s burning eyes.
“You came… or did you come?”
Rimmer tried to say something polite without realizing it, but barely kept his mouth shut due to his pride.
“My lord. “Can I lead the prosecutors today?”
Raon looked at Rimmer with harsh eyes as if there was no rejection.
“That’s right.”
Rimmer nodded like a doll and stepped back.
“thank you.”
Raon bowed his head politely to Rimmer and then stood in front of the podium.
“As everyone knows, this mission is a simple investigation. However, there is a possibility that a problem may arise during the investigation and a battle may break out, or a situation may arise where we have no choice but to flee using our own force, as before.”
He made eye contact with the prosecutors standing under the podium one by one and continued speaking.
“That is why I will practice footwork with all my might from now until I arrive at Sinigan. “The only time I stop moving is when I sleep.”
The swordsmen of Gwangpungdae trembled at Raon’s cold yet low voice.
“what?”
“Uh huh.”
“Are you going to do that hellish training again?”
“Crazy…”
The Gwangpungdae swordsmen muttered that this was nonsense, but the moment they saw Raon’s dry gaze, they all shut their mouths tightly.
They looked at Rimmer with moist eyes as if asking for help.
“Kuhm! La Raon? “Why don’t we do our training after we finish our mission…”
Rimmer was unable to overcome the gaze of the swordsmen and had no choice but to come forward. The moment he was about to say that they would practice training later, Raon’s eyes flashed red.
“Didn’t you say you would leave it to me?”
“uh? “That’s…”
“And it was the great lord who said that life is training. is not it?”
“Oh, I did say that…”
He smiled awkwardly and returned to his seat. And then he just muttered with his mouth.
‘I’m scared of that bastard too!’
Raon confirmed that Rimmer had collapsed and looked down at the Gwangpungdae again.
“I hope you understand that this is all a measure to improve your skills.”
“Yes…”
Gwangpungdae raised his voice as high as he could with tears in his eyes.
-It was not the enemy who destroyed it, but their subordinates…
Lars applauded as if he was impressed.
-As expected, you are not the kind of person who should be here! Let’s go to the demon world with the main king!
‘You go.’
– Even if King Bon wants to go, he can’t!
* * *
Raon looked back as he helped Yua and Julius run faster.
“Huhhh!”
“It really won’t stop….”
“…I feel like I’m going to die.”
The Gwangpungdae swordsmen exhaled as they ran across the frozen lake. It was only natural that the forced march to Bobeop, which started at dawn, lasted past noon and into the evening.
“Am I really planning on not even eating?”
“That crazy guy….”
“Raon John Mot today.”
Burren Marta Runan was also breathing in vain from exhaustion, although she was not at the level of ordinary swordsmen.
Raon chuckled and waved his hand at the prosecutors behind him.
“Is it worth holding on?”
“I’m going to die.”
Dorian shook his head, wiping the sweat flowing down his face.
“If you’re tired, chew some beef jerky while running. “It’ll get better.”
Raon told him to eat his own food and looked away.
“Ugh…”
“That demon-like human…”
“Only you can do that!”
“How can you eat beef jerky while running at this speed? “I’m going to chew my tongue!”
The prosecutors swore softly at the back of Raon’s head.
“Whew…”
Rimmer, running behind, breathed a sigh of relief.
“I’m glad I’m above that guy.”
He looked at the back of Raon’s head and shook his head. If I were in the position of a rank-and-file prosecutor, I would have struck down Gwangpungdae right away. I never thought getting older would be this good.
‘But it’s not just difficult training.’
Raon is not simply pushing the frenzy.
As he said, I had mainly trained in swordsmanship so far, so using the moving path to train footwork was an excellent training method that saved time and filled in my shortcomings.
As Rimmer looked at Raon and Gwangpungdae with a cool smile, a light wind rose in the sky.
As I looked up, a blue hawk fell down like a thunderbolt, as if it had found its prey.
Whoa!
Rimmer stretched out his arms without the slightest surprise. The hawk suddenly slowed down as if performing a trick in the air and gently landed on his forearm.
“Non-banquet falcon?”
Raon narrowed his eyes as he looked at the hawk that had landed on Rimmer’s arm. It seemed like something had happened to Sinnigan, as a call from the non-banquet arrived less than a day after departure.
“Hmm…”
Rimmer stroked the hawk’s head, then took the paper from its leg and read it. His relaxed expression suddenly hardened.
“Is there a problem?”
Raon let out the gas that had filled his lungs and approached Rimmer.
“Read it yourself.”
I unfolded the paper Rimmer threw to me. It was a simple, one-line piece of news, but its content was incomparably heavy.
“Synigan Branch wiped out?”
The letter stated that the personnel of the Shinnigan branch had been wiped out, so they were to go there as quickly as possible.
“Annihilation?”
“Why all of a sudden?”
“Did the North and South Korea attack?”
Even though they were branches, they belonged to the same Sieghart branch, so bright yellow anger burned in the eyes of the Gwangpungdae swordsmen.
“Change your approach.”
After Raon burned the letter, he stood in front of the Gwangpungdae.
“From now on, slow down and focus on recovering your body and Aura. Adjust it so that you can maintain your best condition whenever you fight.”
“yes!”
The Gwangpungdae prosecutors no longer chatted or complained. I answered firmly and took a deep breath as if I was going into battle.
Raon seemed to like that kind of windbreaker and nodded his head loudly before taking the lead.
“There is no rest until we reach Sinnigan. let’s go!”
* * *
A bizarre village where the ground was cracked as if there had been an earthquake and blood filled the top.
Raon frowned as he saw that Sinigan Village, which meant warmth itself, had turned into a hellish island.
‘It wasn’t just the branch that collapsed.’
Not only was the Sinnigan branch destroyed, but the town of Sinnigan itself collapsed.
There were no bodies in sight, but beyond the crushed houses and walls, there was no place where blood did not flow. It felt like I was looking at a battlefield.
“It’s terrible…”
Buren’s eyes trembled as he looked at the blood-soaked well. Other prosecutors were unable to continue speaking due to the serious situation and only bit their lips.
“Huh…”
Raon walked inside, blowing away the scent of blood with a sigh.
There were people gathered around the village who seemed to have lost their families, but they could not get inside because swordsmen with fierce eyes blocked the road.
“What are those?”
Marta frowned as she looked at the prosecutors blocking the road.
“They are swordsmen from the Rakion family.”
Raon narrowed his eyes as he looked at the red lion symbol engraved on the swordsmen’s chests.
“This branch and the Rakion family are not that far away. “Support must have come.”
To the east of the Sinnigan branch is the vassal family Rakion. It seemed like they came running as soon as they found out about this situation.
“Let’s go in.”
Raon gestured to Gwangpungdae and entered the village.
“You are from Gwangpungdae.”
As if the news had been relayed at a non-banquet, the swordsmen of the Rachion family bowed their heads upon seeing the Sieghart emblem.
“What on earth happened?”
“We have not received accurate information yet. Let’s come inside first. “I will guide you to the great lord.”
The prosecutor raised his hand in a restrained yet polite manner.
Raon nodded and followed the prosecutor into the branch that looked like it had been bombed. There were many people inside, but what stood out the most was the one-eyed middle-aged man standing in the center.
I could feel a huge energy coming from him.
“Oh, you’re here!”
A young man with black hair who was standing next to the middle-aged man came running towards him with a tearful expression on his face.
“Meet the Great Lord of the Wind Wind! Oh, the Lord of the Storm Troopers too!”
The black-haired young man bowed his head to Rimer and Raon in turn.
“My name is Geph, an informant from the Shinnigan Branch!”
He bowed once more when he introduced himself as Geph.
“You are alive.”
Raon breathed a sigh of relief. If everyone had died, the investigation would have taken time, but it was fortunate that at least one person remained.
“What on earth happened?”
“To be honest, I don’t know.”
Gef swallowed and shook his head.
“yes?”
“Following the branch leader’s orders, I delivered a letter to the head of the Rakion family, and the branch was in this state.”
He trembled and said that he did not know the exact circumstances.
“Then this person…”
Raon turned his gaze and saw the middle-aged man with one eye. He came next to Gef and bowed his head.
“It’s called Bells of Rakion. “It’s shameful that we can’t prevent this situation even though we are nearby.”
He couldn’t lift his head as if he was truly sorry.
‘Is it Bel’s Rakion?’
This is a person I have heard of. As a swordsman who had already taken the position of successor to the Rakion family, he was a monster with no one around him to compete with.
“Please explain even if you already know something.”
Raon stood the two up and told them to settle the situation first.
“It’s not exact, but it seems that the group our branch thought were bandits was a white blood church.”
“White blood religion?”
Marta was the first to react to Gef’s words. She stepped forward and put her face towards Gef.
“What are you talking about! Why are white blood religions suddenly appearing?”
“I figured it out by looking at the traces of this place.”
Gef shook his head vigorously and stepped back.
“This branch and the villagers that make up it have all disappeared, and only half of them are dead!”
Although his lips were trembling, he continued speaking until the end.
“Furthermore, many of the corpses left there had injuries that looked as if they had been bitten or had died in a cruel manner. It’s almost identical to the Blood Festival of the Bae White Blood Cult.”
“Ugh….”
Martha frowned as she looked at the collapsed branch buildings and villages.
Raon nodded slightly, looking at the collapsed wall inside the office and the blood gushing like a fountain around it.
‘It’s a white-blooded religion…’
That might be the case.
When I came here and saw the collapsed buildings and blood spattered, I thought it might have been an attack by the White Blood Cult, not the North-South Alliance.
However, in order to confirm that, I had to see the remaining corpses.
“Can I see the bodies?”
“of course. “Please come this way.”
Gef nodded and walked out of the branch.
Raon patted Marta’s shoulder, whose hands were shaking from anger, and followed Gef to the training hall outside the branch.
There was a black tent covering the floor, and it seemed to be covering a corpse as it was raised slightly.
When Raon sent a look, Crane and Dorian, who were behind him, came forward and lifted the tent.
“Ugh!”
“What the…”
“Blood demons like dogs!”
The Gwangpungdae prosecutors bit their lips tightly as they looked at the corpses covered by the tent.
There were many corpses that were so badly damaged that it was difficult for prosecutors who had experienced many battles to see them. Some prosecutors turned their heads as if they couldn’t see.
Rather, Raon moved closer and calmly examined the body.
‘It certainly looks like the work of the White Blood Cult.’
Almost none of the corpses were intact. It was normal for the flesh to be torn off, and there were many corpses that looked like their limbs had been cut off or their necks or waists had been ripped out.
It looked like they were holding a blood festival where blood and flesh were cut off to offer to the blood god.
Pudddeuk!
He chewed his molars and examined the nearest corpse.
It was the corpse of a young woman, her waist was split open as if she had been cut by a sharp object, and the nape of her neck was torn off as if it had been bitten by a wolf.
He was so shocked by the sudden attack that he couldn’t even close his eyes and died.
Raon looked at the nape of the corpse and tilted his head. A question arose as he turned around and looked up at Gef and Bells.
“Is this corpse strange?”
