The Reincarnated Assassin is a Genius Swordsman - Chapter 723

Episode 723

“You’re back.”

Derus Robert rolled up his long gun inside and bowed his head politely towards the swordsman wearing the blue dragon helmet.

“Mr. Derus.”

He called the man wearing the blue dragon helmet Derus, who had the appearance and voice of Derus.

“Beorn and Kubara returned, but I was worried because they didn’t come back. “Are you feeling okay?”

The fake Derus approached the real Derus and lowered his eyebrows deeply.

“My body is fine, but other places are damaged.”

The real Delus Robert held his chest and vomited black blood.

“If it weren’t for the bracelet that compressed the energy of death, I might have been buried under that river.”

He muttered that it was really dangerous and spat out blood again.

“What on earth did you suffer from without learning…?” .”

Fake Derus trembled his lips as if he couldn’t believe it.

“It was a type of swordsmanship I had never seen before. “It went beyond the aurors and the body and entered the soul.”

Derus said it was absurd and shook his head.

“Is it like Ogram’s fierce sea fog?”

“No, it was on a different level. “If you have a high level of soul here, you can withstand the harsh sea fog to some extent, but Glenn’s sword is different.”

His long, slender fingers flowed as if drawing Glenn’s sword.

“He comes in with his soul divided as if it doesn’t matter what state I am in. It was a transcendent level that went beyond martial arts. However, there was something more irritating than Glenn’s sword.”

Derus touched his blood-soaked chest and twisted his lips.

“Raon Sieghardt. “That damned bastard gets in the way until the end!”

In the end, he was unable to remain calm and let out a roar that sounded like an animal howling.

Wooooow!

The fake Derus created a miracle and prevented Derus’s cries from escaping the study.

“If I think you’re dead, you come back alive and interfere with my work! “I should have torn him down right away!”

When Derus showed a rare display of sincere anger, the energy of death began to seep out of him.

Whoa!

As if the energy of death had evolved further, even inanimate objects began to be affected.

The books on the bookshelf turned to black ash and scattered, and the luxurious furniture melted away without a trace of dust as if thousands of years had passed.

“ha… .”

After venting his anger for a while, Derus let out a subdued sigh. His eyes, which had been strangely shiny, regained their usual calm.

“Bardiel.”

Derus gestured to the fake Derus and spoke in a low voice.

“Report the situation after I left.”

“Before the war, King Owen was the Magic Tower owner during the war, and after the war, Chamber contacted us via communication. “All three cut off contact without showing any suspicion.”

The man called Bardiel lowered his head as if there was no need to worry.

“As expected.”

Derus twisted his mouth and folded his fingers.

‘Even if you doubt it, you can’t doubt it.’

The burn magic created by the chamber and the magic tower illuminates not only the face but also the person’s temperament, so it cannot be used as a substitute.

However, what Bardiel is wearing now is < Doppelganger Skin >, an ancient artifact created by killing hundreds of doppelgangers.

Not only did he change his appearance, but he also changed his temperament and auror attributes, so even if he wanted to, he couldn’t be caught unless he came and checked in person.

‘Even Raon won’t be able to tell my identity so quickly.’

Even if Raon Sieghardt is really Raon, he hasn’t seen this helmet.

Since there was no evidence, trying to reveal his identity was no different from throwing his life away.

‘No, there is evidence.’

I saw a wound on the back of my hand where the sword mark had stretched out to form an X.

‘If you show me this scar, I can reveal that I am Derus Robert.’

But that too is impossible.

If you use the leather of the doppelganger that Bardiel is wearing, this wound will not be revealed no matter what you do.

If Raon tries to take advantage of his wounds, he can counterattack. Rather, it will be an opportunity.

“Now that Derus is back, I’ll take off his skin.”

“no.”

Derus shook his head as Bardiel put his hand to the back of his head.

“As I said, all of my physical wounds have recovered, but my soul is still torn.”

Derus calmly shook his head.

“So that you can take over the position while I heal.”

“… All right.”

Bardiel carefully lowered his head. When he raised his gaze again, his eyes suddenly became those of the real Derus.

“The Six Emperors’ Meeting will be held soon. “If you get a call via video, you can leave. If you have to go in person, call me.”

Derus narrowed his eyes as he examined Bardiel.

“No matter how transcendent you are and wearing that leather, you can’t avoid the eyes of those old men.”

“All right.”

Bardiel just bent down as if he wanted to comply.

“Then let’s go.”

“yes.”

He carefully bowed his head and left the study.

“ha… .”

Only after Derus was left alone did he take off his blue dragon helmet.

“Wounds give us new skin and experiences.”

He smiled coldly, pushing back his silver hair soaked in blood and sweat.

“For keeping me alive. And I will make you regret being alive.”

* * *

“So. “You mean this is the letter Raon left?”

Merlin, wearing a shabby mask made of tree bark, carefully held the paper folded crosswise.

“huh. “Raon left it.”

Garam looked at the letter and nodded.

“ha… .”

Merlin touched the letter with his fingertips and let out a heated breath.

“I’m nervous because it’s my first time receiving a love letter.”

She took a long sip as if she was nervous.

“Affection… ?”

Garam tilted his head as if asking what he was saying.

“where.”

Merlin ignored Garam’s reaction and opened Raon’s letter.

[I heard that you saved me this time too. thanks. And I’m sorry. Because of me, you were ambushed by a demon and kicked out of Eden, so I have nothing to say to you except that I am sorry. However, as the saying goes, I hope that this moment will be an opportunity to erase your past and live a new life. From now on, stop doing evil and live a life that cherishes you. I’ll be cheering you on, so if there’s anything I can help you with, please come to me anytime. – Raon Sieghardt.]

The letter was short, but inside it were written in a calm handwriting what Raon had wanted to say.

“iced coffee… .”

Merlin sat down, holding the letter to his chest. She had tears in her eyes and her chin was shaking.

“Oh, where does it hurt?”

Garam was startled and ran to Merlin.

“Still injured… .”

“This means you love me, right? “It means Raon loves me!”

Merlin’s purple eyes twisted in a strange direction.

“to… ?”

Garam stepped back, looking at Merlin’s mysterious eyes.

“Oh, I guess not?”

I know this because I heard the contents of the letter from Raon. There was nothing written inside that said I loved you.

“No, that’s right. “Cheering and waiting means loving.”

Merlin shook his head resolutely, muttering that what he said was correct.

“I love you too! I love you too! I love you too! I love you too! I love you too! I love you too! I love you too! I love you too! I love you too! I love you too! I love you too! I love you too! I love you too! I love you too!”

She rubbed her face as if the letter was Raon and exclaimed that she loved her endlessly.

“I’ll be there right away! I’ll be going soon! I’ll be there right away! I’ll be going soon! I’ll be there right away! I’ll be going soon! I’ll be there right away! I’ll be going soon! I’ll be there right away! I’ll be going soon! I’ll be there right away! I’ll be going soon! I’ll be there right away! I’ll be going soon! I’ll be there right away! I’ll be going soon!”

Due to Merlin’s bizarre obsession, even the river water seemed to be dyed purple like her eyes.

“Ugh… .”

Garam’s fingertips trembled as he pulled up the water drop spell.

‘I don’t think he should go outside… .’

Should we reseal everything?

* * *

A small tavern in a corner of Cameloon, called the commercial city or trading city.

As always, even though it was broad daylight, the inside of the bar was so crowded that there was no place to sit.

However, there was one thing that was different from usual.

Because people gathered from all over the continent, unlike when each person would only talk about interesting rumors, the people in the bar were only talking about Sieghardt and the war between the North and South.

“I really didn’t know that the North-South alliance would fall.”

A middle-aged man with half a bald head set down his beer glass and let out a sigh.

“As always, I thought it would end in moderation… .”

His beer-foamed lips trembled as if he still couldn’t believe it.

“The North-South alliance is not the only problem. “I heard that among Oma, the White Blood Cult, Holy Swordsman Eden, and even the shadow of being newly incorporated.”

The middle-aged man with the catfish beard frowned.

“I heard that the King of North Extinction single-handedly pushed back the five transcendents. Does this make sense? No, they say there was even a Dragon Lord, so there are six.”

“Except the North and South Korean alliance.”

The balding middle-aged man shook his head.

“Because Dranos was beheaded by Raon Sieghart.”

“Actually, I don’t believe that anymore.”

A middle-aged man with a catfish beard knocked heavily on the table.

“After defeating his father, he was secretly attacked while he was unconscious, and then he came back alive to save the King of North Korea and kill the North and South leaders and vice-leaders? “It’s not even an old legend. Does this make sense?”

He said he couldn’t believe it no matter how much he thought about it and slammed his beer glass down.

“I can’t believe it either, but people who have seen it say it’s true. No matter how much you think about it, Sieghart is not a family of humans. “How can both a grandfather and a grandson do that?”

The balding middle-aged man also shook his head, saying it was absurd.

“Raon Sieghardt is 22 years old now, right? “Isn’t that the greatest genius in the history of the continent?”

“The greatest genius of all time, right? “Because even the leaders of the Six Emperor Five Demons were merely masters at that age.”

The middle-aged man with the catfish beard nodded in agreement.

“Oh, by the way, I heard that Raon Sieghart has a new nickname?”

“I heard it too. I heard this person came from the south… .”

The bald middle-aged man lifted his beer glass and rolled his eyes.

“Was he a usurper? “It’s cool, but I’m not sure why.”

“If you look at Raon Sieghardt’s actions, you will find a simple answer.”

A middle-aged man with a catfish beard drew the shape of a crown with his finger.

“Where are you?”

“okay. Before this war, Raon Sieghart killed the king of the Holy Kingdom who was possessed by demons and passed the throne to the three princes. In this war, he killed his father, Roman, the leader of the North and South, Dranos, and the vice-lord, Helgurum, and returned the river to the Cheongru tribe.”

He swallowed dryly and knocked down the crown he had made with his fingers.

“A usurper means someone who brings down the king’s position. “It’s a perfect nickname for Raon Sieghardt, who cut down the demon king and overthrew the river king.”

Even after saying this, Catfish Whisker shook his shoulders as if he had goosebumps.

“Right. “That’s exactly right.”

The bald middle-aged man sighed and nodded.

“Oh, now that I think about it, there is another person with a new tinnitus other than Raon Sieghardt.”

“yes. In some ways, it’s a more terrifying name than usurper… .”

The middle-aged man with the catfish beard swallowed dry saliva and lowered his gaze.

“Red-Eyes Demon Sword.”

* * *

The grave of the sword erected behind Sieghardt’s main building.

“… … .”

Sylvia, dressed in black robes, slowly opened her red eyes. She carefully bowed her head in front of the grave, as if comforting the dead.

Raon followed Silvia and bowed solemnly toward the lost sword.

‘Thank you for fighting for me. And I’m sorry I couldn’t save you.’

Those buried here went to battle to avenge my death.

Since Derus was involved, the war would have happened anyway, and even if I had woken up early and participated in the war, I would not have been able to save them, but I wanted to say thank you and apologize to them because they were the ones who fought for me.

‘I promise.’

Raon put his hands together and closed his eyes.

‘I will reveal Derus Robert’s identity and cut off his head.’

Until now, I have only acted for my own grudge, but through this incident, the will and breath of many people have been placed on my back.

Revealing Derus’ identity and killing him was a task that I had to accomplish even if it meant dying.

Raon bowed his head once again to the grave of the sword, then stepped back and looked at the back of the person standing in front.

Glenn Sieghart. Unlike other events, he led the funeral from beginning to end and did not take his eyes off the prosecutors’ graves.

It felt like a feeling of regret for not being able to protect me was coming out of my back.

“Whoa… .”

Raon sighed briefly and chewed his lip slightly.

‘This is my first time seeing the head of the family like that.’

I thought Glenn would hold a funeral with dignity, but instead he showed more careful and detailed words and actions than anyone else.

It was amazing to see a new side of him.

-That’s natural!

Lars looked at Glenn and pointed a round finger.

-The higher you stand, the more grateful you should be to your subordinates! That old man may have a cleft tongue and can’t taste, but he does his job properly!

The guy nodded, saying it was pretty good. I sympathized with the words of the Demon King who always cared for his minions.

“They say the head of the family was originally like that.”

Sylvia came next to me and whispered quietly.

“You were originally like that?”

“okay. “The reason you’ve become so cold-hearted as you are now is because you changed during the war, and you said you used to have a lot of soft sides.”

She laughed a little, saying she had heard about it but not experienced it herself.

“okay.”

Raon nodded slowly. However, I couldn’t imagine Glenn’s soft appearance.

“Then this concludes the funeral.”

The funeral ended with remarks from non-banquet owner Chad, who was officiating.

“A small banquet will be held at Gajujeon this evening, so if you are not busy, please join us.”

He said that if nothing major happened, he would definitely participate and went down the podium.

“… … .”

Glenn looked this way for a moment and then headed towards the family battle.

‘It’s a banquet…’ .’

Raon quenched his appetite and turned his back.

‘There’s no particular need to go.’

-What nonsense!

Lars blocked the road as if he couldn’t do it.

-If it were a banquet, it would be full of delicacies! Why don’t you go there!

The guy frowned and drooled from his mouth.

‘I heard you like home-cooked food.’

-Uh… .

‘And my mother doesn’t like the main house.’

-Ouch!

‘You said you were my mom, but you won’t think of me?’

-That… .

Lars’ chin trembled as if he had nothing to say. The boy’s eyes swung like pendulums, as if he was torn between the food of the mountains and the sea and his mother.

“Let’s go back, mother.”

It was time for Raon to push away Ras, who was in trouble, and look at Sylvia.

“Master Raon. “Miss Sylvia.”

Roen approached, carrying two luxurious boxes on his waist.

“The head of the family has given orders that you must participate in today’s banquet.”

“To us?”

“yes. “You both need to come.”

He held out two boxes in front of him, saying they should never fall out.

Raon and Sylvia made eye contact and then each received the box given to them.

-What! Is it ice cream?

Lars suddenly came to his senses and flew over, licking his tongue.

‘wait.’

Raon pushed Ras away and opened the box to Roen. Inside was an unexpected item.

“This… .”
