The Reincarnated Assassin is a Genius Swordsman - Chapter 597
Chapter 597
Raon closed his eyes, feeling the energy of the fruit as if the flesh itself was melting into mana.
‘Is this the fruit of the World Tree?’
river water. No, it is a huge and proud flow like the waves of the ocean.
There was no need to open the path to the mana circuit with Manga Ball or Glacia. The energy of the fruit moved on its own as if it were alive and breathing.
The first place where the energy of the fruit seeped into was the fire scar left by the Red Flame Demon. The trauma and internal injuries inflicted by that bastard’s flame were completely erased, as if washed away with water.
‘This kind of energy…’
It was so absurd that I almost broke my trance and moved. I had no idea that in this short moment, I would recover from all my internal and external injuries.
It was no exaggeration to say that it was not an elixir, but a divine substance.
‘There was no need to worry.’
I thought it might have gone bad because the fruit of the World Tree tasted like rich nadine bread, but as Rimmer said, it seemed to have originally tasted like rubber.
Gooooooo!
The energy of the World Tree fruit, which had healed all the wounds, created a huge flow and spread through the mana circuit of the whole body, as if from now on it was real.
‘It’s not any of the four attributes.’
This is pure mana itself.
No, even the word “pure” could not explain the energy that resided inside the fruit. A refreshing feeling that seems to have been transported from nature itself. It was mana itself without any foreign matter.
The energy of the fruit seeped into the lower end of the battle, turning it into the heat of Manga Ball and the cold of Glacia, and then traveled up the mana circuit of the abdomen, expanding the scale of the middle and middle battle.
I felt that the heavy middle and middle battles kept my body and mind in balance.
However, the energy of the fruit soared all the way to the top, as if it still had some strength left, bringing pure vitality to the world of images.
I felt that both the upper-level battle, which supports the spirit of the lower-end battle that nurtures Aurors, and the middle-middle battle, which maintains the center, have all grown.
Raon’s spirit, unlike the gradually diminishing energy of the fruit, fell into a deeper world of selflessness.
* * *
Even though Raon woke up from his trance, he did not open his eyes. I took a deep breath and felt a change in myself.
‘Not only has the danjeon grown, but the mana circuit has also grown.’
Thanks to the increased circumference of the mana circuit, it seemed like more energy could be moved faster in the future.
‘This is a big harvest.’
In a fight between super experts, victory or defeat is decided in a split second, so being able to move Aurors even a little faster was tantamount to showing that the force itself had grown.
‘Plus, I’m naturally picking up signs of the surroundings.’
Even though I didn’t even display my spirit, I could feel the presence of elves around the World Tree. Not only did I know that it was nearby, but I could even sense what it was doing.
Originally, in order to feel a presence, an aura had to be spread around, but that concept itself seemed to be no longer necessary. If you use mana, you will be able to sense things from a greater distance than before.
Raon slowly opened his eyes, feeling satisfied that he had grown.
“Whew…”
As I took a short breath, Rimmer, whose complexion was slightly pale, came closer to me.
“Why does someone who goes into a trance like a meal take up so much time?”
Rimmer picked his ears in annoyance.
“How long has it been since I woke up?”
Raon looked up at the sky. Just like when I started practicing, the sun was high in the sky, so I couldn’t tell how long it took.
“three days.”
Rimmer held up three fingers.
“I thought I was going to die because I was holding on without sleep!”
He waved his arm, telling me to take it in moderation.
“Three days…”
Raon let out a sigh.
‘Then you protected me at that level for three days?’
The border between Rimmer and Stelin Siyan was so dense that it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was impregnable.
If you had maintained that posture for three days, it was understandable that you were having such a hard time.
“Forgive me for being late.”
“There is no need to apologize.”
As I was about to bend down, Stelin shook his head and approached me.
“We suggested it first, so why are you apologizing?”
Sterin frowned and punched Rimmer on the forehead.
“Khehe!”
Rimmer stepped back, holding his forehead.
“Why are you hitting me!”
“I’m glad I didn’t hit the muzzle.”
“Oh, it’s true here and also in Sieghart. “It’s my friend…”
He said he was annoyed and walked away.
“It looks like you absorbed it properly.”
Stelin smiled lightly, as if he was proud of having properly absorbed the energy of the World Tree fruit.
“I can definitely feel the difference.”
The Grand Elder looked at Raon and nodded.
“The mana, which was already pure, has become even purer. “Even high elves are no match for us now.”
He blurted out something absurd.
“La Raon.”
Siyan lowered his head, carrying a bird on his shoulder that seemed to be made of water droplets.
“Are you okay?”
“I’m fine, but Siyan looks like he’s having a hard time.”
Her complexion was paler than Rimmer’s, and her entire forehead was wet with cold sweat, making her look like she was sick.
“Oh, I’m fine.”
“It’s okay.”
Rimmer rolled his eyes at Siyan.
“I summoned this top-level spirit for three days. “I did something crazy that even my grandfather couldn’t do.”
He said he was out of his mind and twirled his fingers at his temples.
“I’m really fine.”
Contrary to what he said, Siyan immediately sent back the highest level spirit as if it had reached its limit. Only then did her complexion begin to return little by little.
“Hmm…”
Raon sighed briefly and bowed his head to the four elves.
“thank you.”
Standing guard without sleep for three days is difficult to do, even if you are a relative. I expressed my gratitude with all my heart.
“Didn’t you say there was no need for such a greeting?”
The Grand Elder shook his head.
“okay. “You are too polite.”
Rimmer frowned as he looked at Raon.
“If I were you, I would cut down half of the world’s trees.”
“Why are you cutting down the three world trees?”
“You protected it entirely. “Isn’t it okay to say that about half of the shares of the World Tree are yours?”
“Ah…”
I was so dumbfounded that I opened my mouth.
“That’s why you are like that.”
Stelin looked at Rimmer and sighed.
“La Raon. I am similar. “The World Tree belongs to Raon!”
Siyan nodded, clenching both fists. They say siblings look alike, and it’s true.
‘But it doesn’t feel bad.’
Should I rather say that it is good?
I felt a sense of satisfaction that went beyond the growth of my military strength at the fact that members of different races had formed a relationship that truly cared for each other.
Now I felt like I was really becoming human.
-You like it?
Lars came out with a voice that almost broke. His cheeks were thin and pale, as if he was about to collapse at any moment.
-You buried the king in rubber and you say you like it?
‘I’ve never buried it in rubber…’
-The fruit of the World Tree! That terrible taste cannot be erased!
Lars let out a scream-like sound.
-Do you know how hard it was for King Bon to remove the taste of rubber by himself? Even if you breathe through your nose, it tastes like rubber, and even if you breathe through your mouth, it tastes like rubber! Rubber! Rubber won’t disappear! Rubber came out even in my dream!
The guy said with tears in his eyes that he almost died because he was covered in rubber.
-I don’t know if I ate any other food, but it still tastes like rubber. Hehehe…
‘Wow…’
I swallowed dry saliva as I watched Lars wiping the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand.
‘I’ll eat as soon as I get back. As if we met.’
Normally I would have ignored it, but since he looked really tired, I was told to eat right away.
-Sniff.
When Lars was told to eat, he stopped twitching and raised his head.
-What is the menu?
‘….’
I didn’t expect to ask for the menu here. I couldn’t say anything.
“Now that it’s all over, I should go back.”
Rimmer lightly swept the world tree and smiled softly.
“That’s right.”
Raon nodded. Although we were far from our original purpose, all we had to do was done, so it was time to return to Sieghart.
“You may have heard from that idiot, but I have someone to take with you when you return to Sieghart.”
Stelin stepped to the right and raised his hand.
“Ah, you mean an envoy.”
“okay. “It’s this guy.”
His hand pushed Siyan’s sleepy back.
“Wow!”
Shi Yan was startled and jumped up like a rabbit.
“Originally, I was going to Sieghart to complain about Rimmer’s failure, but thanks to you, I ended up saying thank you. “Originally, I would have to go, but since the barrier has not been resolved yet, I am sending Siyan.”
Stelin said those words and pushed Siyan one step forward.
“In addition to thanking you, there will be diplomatic discussions, so I hope you can help me.”
He nodded, saying that if all goes well, Seifia and Sieghart could form a temporary alliance.
After listening to Stelin’s words, I looked at Siyan.
“Ugh…”
She shook her shoulders, her face still covered by her thin blonde hair.
‘Even if it looks like that, you’ll do well if you actually do it.’
Since I saw Shi Yan’s true appearance, I wasn’t particularly worried.
Raon smiled slightly, looking at Stelin’s worried eyes.
“I will do my best.”
“okay. “I’m asking you to please.”
As he joined hands with Sterin, the World Tree spread its branches as if to bless the future of Sieghart and Seifia.
Raon looked up at the World Tree and laughed.
‘Looking at those branches, I understand why the world tree is a rubber tree.’
It was amazing that the trees of the world narrowed and expanded their branches arbitrarily, but it seemed like it was because they were all rubber trees.
-Go rubber! Where is the rubber!
Lars’ whole body trembled as if he was having a seizure at the sound of the rubber.
“Let’s think about the rest later and eat first. “I’m starving to death.”
Rimmer gestured to get down quickly.
“Because I starved for three days. “Do you want to eat Nadine bread so that your stomach doesn’t freak out?”
He snapped his fingers, asking the other elves to prepare.
-I’m Nadine… Kek….
Lars shouted Nadine Bread and passed out with foam in his mouth. It seemed like the self-proclaimed Lord of Wrath had been traumatized.
Raon sighed and shook his head.
“I’ll eat normally today….”
* * *
Two days later.
Raon finished preparing to leave Seifia and left the dorm.
-Ugh…
Lars raised both fists towards the blue sky.
-Finally leaving! I am now able to escape this hell where I smell only rubber all day long!
The guy shook his head and said he would never set foot in Seifia from now on.
‘A few days ago, they said they would burn it down.’
-It’s not worth burning or freezing!
Lars gritted his teeth, saying that Seyfia was the worst of all the places he had visited so far.
‘I was fine.’
He gained practical combat experience by fighting against the Red Flame Demon, increased his strength by eating the fruit of the World Tree, and even formed a good relationship with the elves of Seifia.
Because it was only a time of gain, unlike Lass, I felt like this place was like my hometown.
‘The food was good too.’
-The reason the food here is good is because your tongue is broken! It’s all just rubber!
Lars’ shoulders were shaking, saying he could still taste rubber on his tongue.
‘Well, when you get back, you’ll be able to eat whatever food you want.’
-So let’s go quickly!
‘Then how about Nadine bread on the way to save time on the way back?’
-Sigh!
As soon as the story about Nadine bread came out, the guy froze white as if he were a plaster statue.
-If you want to get there quickly, get Nadin bread. But Nadin bread tastes like rubber. Still, if you want to quickly go and get rid of the taste left on your tongue, get some Nadine bread… Ugh!
Lars’ eyes were half-closed and he continued to mutter Nadine’s bread. As I walked while teasing him, I eventually arrived at the entrance to Seifia.
“hmm?”
Raon widened his eyes.
‘Why are there so many?’
I thought only people I knew would see me off, but the entrance was so crowded that it seemed like all the elves of Seifia had gathered there, leaving no space for anyone to step through.
“You’re finally here!”
Erian looked this way and waved his hand coolly. Anyone who saw him would have thought he was a deadbeat.
However, since he was a trustworthy person, I didn’t think it would be a bad idea to actually become friends.
“Are you saying the main character is late?”
Rimmer frowned as he looked at Raon.
“The great lord is also here now.”
Yua blinked at Rimmer.
“You don’t have to talk about things like that.”
Rimmer stroked the infant’s head a little forcefully and shook his head.
“welcome.”
Dorian took a snack out of his stomach pouch, chewed it, and grinned.
“Are you ready?”
“We’re done…”
He trailed off and looked to the right.
“We are finished too.”
Leiran nodded, pointing to Siyan and the five guardians who would escort her.
“Oh hello.”
Siyan lowered his head, covering his face with his robe. The ears that stood out from under the robe seemed to be trembling slightly.
“Please take good care of me.”
“Yes, I will definitely succeed too!”
“success? “Oh, I’m sure you can understand.”
I nodded because it seemed like he meant to make the diplomatic negotiations between Seifia and Sieghart successful.
“yes. please.”
Siyan raised his small fist, saying he would do it no matter what.
“Laylan.”
Raon called out to Rayran, who was standing close to Siyan.
“Is there anything you asked for?”
“I’m ready.”
She nodded and told me not to worry.
“thank you.”
As Raon greeted Rayran, Sterin walked out from among the elves.
“It looks like everyone has gathered.”
Sterin was the first to step in front of Rimmer and narrowed his eyes.
“You need to come to your senses.”
“I only had one drink today?”
“That’s the problem!”
Sterin struck Rimmer’s head and walked to the side.
“Siyan.”
“Yes…”
“You are going to Sieghart on behalf of Seifia. “Always think about how much weight is put into each of your words.”
“Do not worry!”
Siyan nodded with a confident voice, unlike when she spoke to Raon.
“Raylan. “Please.”
“I will risk my life to help Siyan.”
Leiran nodded heavily, contrary to Shiyan.
Stelin gestured with his chin as if satisfied and stood in front of Yua.
“Did you enjoy learning to sing?”
“I enjoyed! “It was fun to play music with a bow!”
“You can come again anytime.”
“yes!”
He patted the toddler’s head, who responded energetically, and then looked at Dorian.
“The deal with the Sepia Company you mentioned is being viewed positively. “We decided to have a proper talk when someone came from there.”
“Thank you!”
Dorian bowed his head to Sterin. From what I heard, he seemed to have made a deal with Seifia during this short period of time as the successor to the Sanghoe. I thought they were just having fun, but it looks like business is going well.
“Seyfia will not forget your help.”
Sterin passed Dorian and faced Raon one last time.
“If you ever need help, let me know at any time. “Everyone, including me, will run.”
“thank you.”
“However, the reason we are coming forward is not Sieghart but Raon.”
“yes?”
“Sepia is moving only to help you.”
He calmed his eyes as if he meant what he said. The elves behind him, including the Grand Elder and Elder Erian, also had the same look in their eyes.
“The elf race returns favors twice and enemies tenfold. “Be sure to contact me.”
Stelin patted his shoulder gently and stepped back.
Raon bowed silently because he felt Sterin’s sincerity.
“Then let’s go.”
It was when I was about to turn my back to leave Seifia.
“Good luck to the benefactors on their journey!”
With Erian’s sonorous voice, the elves gathered here held his right shoulder with his left hand and took a bow.
“I will definitely come back.”
Raon smiled as he responded to the elves’ greetings with a sword bow.
-The king is not going!
But I don’t like Lars.
* * *
Raon entered the human village after five days.
Elves. In particular, Siyan stood out just because of its mysterious aura, so he tried to stay out in the open until he arrived at Sieghardt, but Rimmer was so annoying that he had no choice but to go to a restaurant in the village.
“Look. “How good is human civilization?”
Rimmer sat down on a chair in the dining room and sighed.
“Now I don’t want to eat cooked grass in the grass! “I like meat and beds!”
I wondered if that was something that would come out of an elf’s mouth, but I didn’t bother to ask.
I ignored Rimmer’s words and looked around the tavern.
It was common to see people wearing robes, so most people didn’t pay much attention, but there were a few people whose eyes sparkled.
Even Rimmer seemed to recognize that he was an elf even though he was wearing a robe.
‘what?’
Among the elves, their eyes were fixed on Siyan and Leyran, and the way they were wagging their tongues did not look good at all.
As I pretended not to notice and was choosing a menu, hiding my emotions, a young man with a cute look on his face and clothes approached me.
“Are you the owner?”
“what?”
“Are you going to the maritime market?”
The young man pointed at Siyan and licked his lips.
“It looks pretty nice, but hand it to me, not the mayor. “I’ll give you more than the auction price.”
He snapped his fingers as if he thought Shi Yan was a slave.
“What are you doing now….”
“Wait.”
He blocked Rayran, who was trying to stand up in anger, and narrowed his eyes.
‘market? master?’
It’s not just about making fun of elves. It was clear that he viewed elves as slaves.
‘Now that I think about it…’
Sterin and Erian said that there were quite a few elves whose bodies were not found in this attack. Maybe those elves ended up in the slave market.
Raon stood up and smiled.
“How much will you give me?”
“How much do you want…kegh!”
He grabbed the man’s face in his hands and lifted it into the air.
“What…”
“Let’s talk for a moment.”
-Is this human conversation?
