The Reincarnated Assassin is a Genius Swordsman - Chapter 729

Chapter 729:

The heads of the Six Emperors ended the extraordinary meeting by pledging to reveal the identity of Derus Robert at the Six Emperors’ meeting to be held a week later.

[Okay, everything will be fine… ?]

The magic tower lord rolled his eyes left and right as if he was worried.

[Even if it doesn’t work, you have to make it happen! Don’t you know the spirit of a wizard?]

Chamber frowned as he glared at the magic tower lord.

[Oh, I suddenly shouted and my head hurts.]

Chamber shouted that he was running out of sugar and took out a new lollipop and put it in his mouth.

[There is a meeting being held at the Federation, so I will have a lot of work to do.]

Ogram shrugged, saying that it would be annoying, but that he would try his best.

[I will also cooperate as much as possible.]

King Recross nodded, turning his back on the throne.

[I have to go too… ?]

The magic tower lord slowly raised his gaze like a turtle.

[If you don’t come this time, I’ll go to your lab. No, I will burn the magic tower.]

Chamber twisted his mouth as if to make preparations.

[Hey… .]

The Mage Tower trembled his shoulders and muttered that he would go.

“Then we’ll see at the meeting.”

Glenn waved his hand as if he wanted to end it here.

[Yes!]

The magic tower lord waved his hand faster than anyone else and turned off the burn magic.

[I wonder if someone is a nuisance in the corner of the room. They say things disappear so quickly. If you don’t come again this time, I really have to go destroy the magic tower.]

Chamber snorted and disappeared into the screen.

[I’ll be waiting.]

[I’ll see you again soon.]

King Ogram and Recross also said a short greeting and ended the video.

Raon bowed his head to the disappearing leaders of the Six Emperors and then looked back.

“… … .”

Even though the meeting was over, Glenn was standing in front of the throne with a calm look in his eyes.

“Matriarch.”

Raon walked up to Glenn and knelt down.

“Thank you so much for believing in me. but… .”

I lifted my gaze while chewing my lip.

“You risk the life of the matriarch! Why on earth did you do that!”

Raon raised his voice to Glenn for the first time.

My heart sank when I heard that Glenn had risked his life by making up several lies to catch Derus.

I couldn’t stand it because I couldn’t understand what was going on.

“Same as you.”

Glenn nodded with a calm expression, as if that was all.

“hmm… .”

Raon swallowed dryly as he looked into Glenn’s calm eyes.

‘What does it mean to be like me?’

-I feel it every time, but that old man has a knack for making words difficult!

Lars also wrinkled his nose as if he didn’t understand.

-Let’s finish this and go eat something!

‘I’m sorry, but it’s Nadine bread today.’

Raon shook his head without looking at Lars.

-Me Nadine bread? Is this crazy! Why would you eat Nadin bread when it is such a delicious food!

‘The head of the family risked his life. ‘We’re running out of time.’

Since Glenn trusted me, I have to repay that trust. There was no time to eat or sleep.

-Ugh, that old man is real!

Lars shook his round fist as if he was angry.

“Raon.”

As Raon got up to leave the throne room, Glenn raised his hand.

“It’s late, so go eat dinner.”

Glenn came down from the stage as if he wanted to eat together.

“ah… .”

Raon blinked. I wanted to go back and practice right away, but I couldn’t refuse Glenn.

“I will prepare right away.”

Roen also rushed out of the throne room before he could open his mouth, as if he would not accept rejection.

-Yay!

Naturally, it was Lars who liked this situation the most.

-Grandpa, you are the best!

The guy elevated Glenn from old man to grandfather because the dry Nadine bread turned into a high-end course meal. He was like the devil of indecision.

‘I’m really sick of it… .’

* * *

The dinner between grandfather and grandson was extremely quiet.

If it weren’t for the occasional sound of clinking dishes, it wouldn’t have been strange to eat in the library.

‘eww… .’

Raon let out an inaudible sigh as he cut the meat that came with the main dish.

‘I feel like I’m going to pretend.’

The atmosphere was so heavy that I didn’t know if I was chewing meat or rubber.

-It melts easily!

However, Ras grinned with his hands on both cheeks as if he was happy.

-After all, a rich grandfather is the best!

The guy said it was so delicious and kept calling Glenn “grandpa.”

‘I’m tired.’

I felt more exhausted because of Lars. To finish the meal quickly, I swallowed the meat in one go.

-This guy doesn’t even know what it tastes like!

‘okay. I am ignorant.’

As I was waiting for dessert, ignoring Lars’ complaints, Glenn put down his knife and fork and raised his gaze.

“Raon.”

“yes. “Matriarch.”

Raon straightened his back and looked at Glenn.

“Concerns without an answer are like poison that eats away at a person’s heart. “If you have any concerns in the future, please tell me without hesitation.”

Glenn nodded as if it didn’t matter. His voice rang softly in my ears, unlike when he was in the throne room.

“Ah yes… .”

I swallowed dryly as I looked at Glenn’s faded eyes.

‘Could it be that you risked your life because you felt bad that I was suffering alone and couldn’t tell you Derus’ name?’

If not for that reason, Glenn seemed to have no reason to say that now.

“Time passed between you and Sylvia, me and Sylvia, even though we were close, we were far apart.”

Glenn looked at Raon and chewed his lip slightly.

“It may be difficult to trace the past, but from now on, I hope to walk step by step.”

I don’t know how much time I have left. As Cheryl and Roen said, now was the time to be courageous.

‘but… .’

As I tried to say those words to my grandchild, whom I had never been able to hug, my face filled with heat from embarrassment. My mouth didn’t move.

“Keuhum!”

Glenn couldn’t look directly at Raon and quickly looked away.

“… … .”

Raon’s fingertips trembled as he looked at Glenn, whose earlobes were as red as autumn leaves.

Looking at that reaction, it seemed like Glenn was speaking with sincerity.

“… “I will keep that in mind.”

He seemed to want to get closer to Sylvia too. I nodded, vowing to make a place for myself after this incident was over.

“Then just leave.”

Glenn waved his hand as if he wanted to get up.

“Rest.”

After Raon said hello to Glenn again, he left the restaurant.

-Ha, you frustrating bastard.

Lars clicked his tongue as if he was pathetic.

‘Why again?’

-On days like today, you should call me Grandpa! What do you do if you just come out like a bandit?

The guy said that he truly lacked humanity and furrowed his eyebrows.

‘… Is that correct?’

It was hard to believe what Lars said because this was my past life and this life, and my only family was Sylvia and the maids.

‘Then should I do it now…? ?’

There was so much I was thankful for from Glenn today that I wanted to do something small.

-Time that has passed does not come back!

Lars shook his head, saying it was already too late.

‘hmm… .’

-What a stuffy guy! Looks like you need to get a lecture on ethics and ideology from the King!

Lars stretched out his round hand and offered ten boxes of mint chocolate as tuition.

-hmm? Mint chocolate… Huh!

The guy suddenly mumbled something about mint chocolate and then turned his head back.

-You haven’t had dessert yet! Go back now!

Ras seemed to have finally remembered that he had left without eating dessert and grabbed Raon by the collar and shook him.

‘I’m sorry… .’

Raon shrugged and pulled Lars away.

‘The time that has passed does not come back.’

-Bwaaeaeak!

* * *

[…] So it was decided to hold a meeting at the Beast League headquarters a week later. Can you participate?]

“Of course.”

Derus Robert smiled softly at the chamber reflected in the blue window.

[See you then.]

Chamber waved his hand holding the lollipop, closed the video, and left.

“… … .”

Derus did not leave his office even though his communication magic was turned off.

He enjoyed the sunlight shining by the window, then turned into gray smoke and disappeared.

The place where Derus Robert reappeared was Mount Lushain, which rose to the west of the Robert family.

He walked with familiar steps into the hole hidden behind the rock.

As I went down the stairs, which were darker than a moonless night, the assassins standing guard bowed their heads towards me.

Derus stepped into the underground cavity, ignoring the assassins as if they didn’t exist.

After tidying up his clothes, he walked towards the center of the community.

In the center of the bizarre space where the blood had dried and turned into red brick, a man wearing a blue dragon helmet was sitting on a rock with his shirt off.

“See you Derus.”

Derus approached cautiously and knelt before the man wearing the blue dragon helmet.

“Bardiel. The fact that you came here… .”

The real Derus Robert pointed his finger at Bardiel.

“It looks like the Six Emperors’ Council has decided, right?”

He smiled slightly, as if he was anticipating every situation.

“yes. “They say a meeting will be held at the Beast League in a week.”

Bardiel raised his head and told Chamber all the information he had heard.

“Have you heard from him?”

Derus took the jacket from Kubara and gestured.

“Not yet.”

“is it.”

He smiled softly as if he knew that would happen.

“Are you feeling okay?”

“There was no problem with my body from the beginning.”

Derus calmly shook his head.

“Because what was cut by Glenn Sieghardt was not the body, but the soul.”

“Well then… .”

“No need to worry. Because most of them have recovered. “On the contrary, I gained something.”

He placed his hand on his chest and rolled his mischievous eyes.

“Then you will go directly to the conference hall.”

Bardiel lowered his gaze and asked, unable to meet Derus’ eyes.

“As I said, even if you look like that, you can’t avoid the gaze of the old men of the Six Emperors.”

Derus lifted the back of his hand and stroked Bardiel’s cheek, where his face was reflected, and smiled.

“It’s not a matter of appearance or temperament; it’s that your strength is weak, so I can’t help but notice.”

He waved his hand, saying it was something that could not be helped.

“Mr. Derus. “You should also consider the possibility that this meeting is a trap.”

Bardiel said he had to be careful and put his hands together.

“Know. “It’s been a week, and the fact that it’s being held at the Beast League seems too natural to be suspicious.”

Derus nodded, saying he already had it in mind.

“It’s obvious what those old men are after.”

He chuckled and took off his black gloves. The back of his hand now had a cross-shaped scar instead of a straight line.

“It is clear that they will use every means possible to expose this wound.”

I saw that the scars on the back of my hands were not erased even though I used super regeneration during the war, so their plan would be to make these scars appear.

‘I just don’t understand.’

Raon Sieghardt. I don’t know what that guy is.

The fact that he was able to block his own surprise attack and carve a wound that could not be healed even with super regeneration made me curious about his true identity, leaving Raon in his previous life behind.

‘The sky is there to stop me. No, it’s a messenger from hell.’

Derus laughed and muttered that it was truly absurd.

“Then I will take it off.”

Bardiel took a breath and placed his hand on the back of his head.

A gray mud-like mass flowed down from his entire body, and Derus’ face, once a peerless handsome man, changed into a cold-faced young man.

Gurgling.

Bardiel held out a lump of gray mud that glimmered as if it were alive to Derus. That liquid was the ancient artifact < Doppelganger's Skin >.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

Derus Robert took the doppelganger’s skin and placed it on the back of his wounded hand.

Chii Iik.

As the doppelganger’s skin evaporated, creating white smoke, the two lines of scars on the back of his hand were erased as if washed.

It seemed as if the torn skin itself had been revived.

“Even Glenn Sieghardt wouldn’t recognize this.”

Derus curled the corners of his mouth and smoothed the back of his hand.

The doppelganger’s skin is a special artifact that ignores even Auror magic spells.

Since it covers only the back of the hand and not the entire body, even the leaders of the six emperors will never be able to find it.

If he were to bring out the energy of death, his true identity would be discovered regardless of this wound, but since it would have been sealed in advance, it couldn’t have happened.

“I’d rather you doubt me.”

If he was suspicious first and nothing came of it, he could gain a lot from the old men of the Six Emperors, so he quenched his appetite, hoping that this meeting was a trap.

“Even so, you must be careful.”

Kubara, who was waiting in a maid’s uniform, lowered her head.

“Of course.”

Derus nodded lightly.

“For that reason, I’m taking Repon with me again.”

He repeated Repon’s name in a voice without any warmth.

“You should also prepare for the future.”

“yes.”

“All right.”

Bardiel and Kubara bowed their heads and disappeared from the cavity.

“Beorn.”

Derus took off his blue dragon helmet and gestured to the right.

“There is someone you want to see. Will you go with me?”

“I have no thoughts.”

Beorn shook his head with his back and slipped into the darkness.

“It’s bland.”

Derus laughed and threw the blue dragon helmet into the air.

Boom!

As the helmet fell to the ground, a sound like crushing iron rang out from the basement.

“It’s the Six Emperors Conference… .”

Derus leaned back against the wall of the cavity where the children’s blood had dried and curled the corners of his mouth.

“The rest of the week will be boring.”

* * *

Raon opened his eyes to the sound of birds chirping to wake him up at dawn.

Hwaaaah.

A colorless blade was burning in his grasp.

-I finally finished it… .

Lars furrowed his eyebrows as if he was dumbfounded.

-It’s not that bad, but the power you created isn’t that strong. There won’t be many people who can connect with it.

The guy waved his hand, saying it might be in vain.

‘It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t work for everyone.’

Raon nodded with a calm expression.

‘Because it only needs to be eaten by one person.’

Raon calmly took a breath and let the newly refined blade that cuts through death sink into his chest.

Although it was a burdensome force on both body and soul, he was able to endure it as much as he could in order to reveal Derus’ identity.

‘Derus Robert.’

Raon clenched his fists until they bled as he looked at the warmly rising sun, as if announcing the start of the Six Emperors’ Meeting.

‘I’ll take off your mask in front of everyone today.’
