The Reincarnated Assassin is a Genius Swordsman - Chapter 776
Episode 776:
Raon swallowed dryly as he watched the ancient dragon whose head had been blown off and the dragon lord falling down and vomiting blood.
‘Have you grown again?’
Killing two ancient dragons with a light swing of a sword and fatally wounding a dragon lord was not like a human’s martial arts skills.
-It’s not light.
Lars looked at Glenn and shook his head.
-That old man is sincere.
The guy frowned, saying Glenn’s emotions were filled with anger.
‘You probably saw it all when you came here… Ugh!’
Raon looked toward the Aryan family and collapsed.
“Wow!”
Thanks to Glenn’s appearance, I forgot the pain for a while, but Lars’ descent is not over yet. Uncontrollable anger consumed my mind, and black, dead blood spurted from my mouth.
“Raon!”
Instead of trying to fire a second sword strike at the Dragon Lord, Glenn immediately turned his back and ran towards Raon.
“Go, matriarch. From now on, everything I say is the truth.”
Since Raon was running out of time, he held Glenn’s hand so that he could not interrupt, and told him that everything he was going to say was true.
“Don’t talk! “Your condition…”
“Kko, you really have to tell me.”
I shook my head resolutely. Glenn might think that Edgar and Sia are the leaders of Eden and kill them, so he had to tell Lars everything before he went berserk.
“The man wearing the Death Knight armor over there is my father, Edgar, who is said to be dead, and the woman wearing the black Orc helmet is my older sister, Sia.”
Raon forced his stiffening tongue to reveal the identities of Edgar and Sia.
“W-What is that…”
Glenn also hurriedly looked away, as if he had never thought that his son-in-law and granddaughter would be alive. His lips trembled as he looked at Edgar and Sia.
“And Re, Rektar was my paternal grandfather. The reason I became a Holy Sword Trainer was to help myself and my mother… Wow!”
Raon looked at Rektar, who couldn’t even hear his breathing anymore, and then vomited blood again.
“Please, please save Rektar and his mother.”
It may have been impossible for Glenn too, but since he had no one else to ask for right now, he put his last hope and cried out for his life.
“And…”
I looked up at Glenn, pressing my teeth against his lips until they turned white.
“Well, soon another being will enter my body.”
Raon pressed down his throbbing heart as if it was about to burst and pursed his lips.
“It must be the devil.”
Glenn narrowed his eyes as he looked at the black horn rising from his forehead.
“He is the Demon Lord and my first friend as I told you about before.”
“Hmm…”
He let out a low groan as if he remembered introducing Lars as a friend after the war ended. Although I thought he was a special friend, I had no idea that he was the devil.
“This is the guy who saved my life countless times, and saved everyone today. Please don’t kill me, and stop me from running away.”
-Who are you worried about? Bo, the main king is the monarch of the demon world! You will never die, so just think about your survival!
Lars was sweating coldly as he tried to control the anger surging towards him, but shook his head and told him not to pay attention to himself.
“Ha, grandpa. Please. Please….”
Raon bowed his head, making a very difficult request to Glenn. The moment the last feather attached to the ring of fire fell, my mind went dark as if the light had gone off.
-Wrong person to ask…
Ras held on to the ice flower bracelet with his teeth clenched to prevent himself from being sucked into Raon’s body.
-The King will never be defeated!
* * *
Kaaaaaa!
Raon was covered in blue frost and let out a devilish roar towards the sky. The black horns sprouting from his forehead summoned even darker magical energy, and the tips of his brilliant blonde hair began to turn blue.
“Hmm….”
Glenn trembled as he looked at Raon, who was emitting a terrible amount of magical power.
‘Did you catch Tacheon with that force?’
Just before he arrived here, Tacheon’s presence disappeared. It means that Raon and the Demon King caught the guy together, but the terrifying magical energy was burning endlessly as if he still had some strength left. It seemed like a being that surpassed the standard of a typical demon lord.
‘It’s not an easy request.’
If that Demon King were to go berserk in Raon’s body, it would be difficult to subdue him without killing him, even if he were himself.
‘But…’ Since
I heard my grandson call me a grandfather, I had to do whatever it took.
“hmm…?”
As the demon king raised his sword, wondering how to subdue the descended Raon, his grandson’s body only radiated magic and his soul was empty.
‘what?’
When I looked with my full senses, I saw something huge wriggling around Raon’s wrist.
‘No way…’
Is it being supported from the outside?
Just as Raon considers the Demon King a friend, the Demon King also considers Raon a friend, so it seemed like he was supporting him from the outside to prevent him from going berserk.
‘Then there is a way.’
If the Demon King descended into Raon’s body and went berserk, it would not be easy to separate, but if it was in a bearable state from the outside, it could be easily separated.
“Just be patient.”
Glenn lowered his Jincheon sword and slowly closed his eyes.
Cheeeeeek!
When I opened my mind’s eye, I felt something like a blue cloud being sucked into Raon’s Sangsangjeon. It seemed like that was the soul of the devil. Unlike its small size, the size of its soul was larger than itself.
‘So that no one dies…’
He could have killed that demon lord now, but Raon asked him to save his friend. I couldn’t ignore my grandchild’s wishes.
Wooooow!
Glenn raised his sword in his heart. What was reflected on the transparent blade was regret about the past and an earnest promise not to repeat it.
A sword that advances without hesitation. The heart sword, with its kindness and sharpness, tore through the ring of anger that filled the bodies of the Blue Demon King and Raon.
Sigh!
As the sharp sound of the explosion sounded, as if the string of anger was broken, Raon, who was spewing out thick frost as if he was going to run away at any moment, knelt on the spot like a doll whose strings had been cut.
Whoa!
The Blue Demon King also seemed to relax and fell down on Raon’s head.
“Whew…”
Glenn wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and let out a long sigh. Because my grandchild’s life was at stake, I felt more mentally tired than dealing with multiple Omas.
“Thank you for being my grandchild’s friend.”
He drew a faint smile at the Blue Demon King writhing on Raon’s head.
-!!!
The Blue Demon King puffed up his body as if to argue and then disappeared. Perhaps because the anger that dominated Raon’s body was erased, the Demon King’s presence was no longer felt.
Glenn headed towards the Arian family carrying the unconscious Raon on his back. Edgar, wearing the Death Knight’s armor, was awake, perhaps because of the frost wave Raon had caused a little while ago.
“See you, my father-in-law.”
Edgar recognized Glenn and immediately lowered his head.
“Are you Edgar?”
Glenn looked down at Edgar in silence, his fingertips trembling. The place where I saw my son-in-law for the first time was this battlefield, and I felt once again that my mistake was huge.
“I’m sorry for greeting you so late. “I would like to ask for forgiveness, but there is no time right now.”
Edgar pursed his lips and pointed at Silvia and Rektar.
“Hmm…”
Glenn looked at Sylvia and Rektar’s condition and his chin trembled. I couldn’t pay attention because of Raon, and I was really on the verge of death. No, it wouldn’t be strange if I died right now.
Wooooow!
Aura was pushed into the bodies of Sylvia and Rektar. However, the internal injuries and trauma were too severe, and the demonic energy was seeping into each wound, so there was no effect.
‘Pedric.’
Glenn looked at the dark complexions of Sylvia and Rektar and then hugged them. The only person I could rely on now was Saint Pedro of Rags. It may be late, but I had no choice but to go.
“If you leave, it will be late.”
Edgar shook his head without letting go of Sylvia’s hand.
“Then you’re telling me to let you die here!”
Glenn gritted his teeth as he looked down at Edgar.
“I can save it.”
Edgar lowered his chin with a faint smile.
“what?”
“I have the abilities of a Death Knight. It is a special demon that brings death to the living and absorbs life. Conversely, it can also convey vitality to others.”
He looked at his wife and then at Rektar, then nodded heavily.
“The two of you have less than a minute left to live.”
Edgar slowly lowered his hand, asking for Sylvia and Rektar to be put down.
“….”
Glenn bit his lip as he read the emotions in Edgar’s eyes. In the end, he was unable to leave this place and put down Silvia and Rektar.
Wow.
Edgar placed his hands on Sylvia and Rektar’s chest and spoke the words of the dead.
As a strange language that humans could not understand rang out, red began to return to the complexions of Sylvia and Rektar, who had been dying black.
On the other hand, dark, dead veins appeared on Edgar’s pale face.
“for a moment! “No way…”
Glenn widened his eyes as if he had finally realized what Edgar was doing.
“Anyway, I am a person who died once. No, it’s difficult to even call them people anymore.”
Edgar looked at Raon, who was lying down with a soft smile.
“I finally saw my son and saved my daughter, so that’s enough.”
He nodded, saying he was satisfied.
“The pain that will tear your soul apart will continue.”
Glenn lowered his eyebrows, saying he wouldn’t be able to hold on.
“My father-in-law, my life has been a series of pain. “Seeing my wife, son, and daughter like this makes me just happy.”
Edgar touched Sylvia’s cheek, whose color had returned, and smiled a small smile.
“If my father-in-law were in my situation, he would have made the same choice.”
“….”
Glenn pursed his lips a few times, but ultimately couldn’t get the words out. After living as a resident of Eden for decades, he barely found freedom, but sacrificing his life for the one he loved was not an easy decision for him.
That’s why I regretted my past even more. If Sylvia had been accepted back then, this tragedy wouldn’t have happened.
Glenn chewed his molars and looked at Edgar, then placed his hand on Raon’s forehead.
“Are you planning on waking up Raon?”
“Shouldn’t we see the last of our father?”
“Ah, then just a moment…”
Edgar put the Death Knight’s helmet he had discarded on his head. He smiled awkwardly and smoothed his chin.
“Because I’m embarrassed.”
* * *
“Huh!”
Raon let out an intense groan and opened his eyes. Instead of waking up naturally like usual, I still had a headache as if someone had forced me to wake up.
‘What happened?’
I didn’t know how much time had passed or what had happened, so I immediately raised my head and saw Glenn standing in front of me.
“Ha, grandpa. The situation…”
“It ended well. “How is your body?”
Glenn nodded briefly and first asked about his own well-being.
“yes? Ah, I think it’s okay.”
All the anger that had been controlling my mind and spirit had disappeared. I don’t know how they did it, but it seemed like the rampage stopped before Lass descended.
“Your friend too?”
“yes.”
Although I couldn’t see Lars, I could feel his energy in the ice flower bracelet. It looks like he fainted from exhaustion.
“Well, this was a really difficult request, but thank you for listening.”
“I’ll say hello later…”
Glenn sighed and pointed to the right. When I turned my head, I saw Edgar putting his hands on Sylvia and Rektar’s chest.
“ah!”
Because I had no strength, I used the sword that had fallen on the floor as a walking stick and approached Edgar.
“Are Mom and Rektar okay?”
There wasn’t a single aura left, and Sangdanjeon was greatly stimulated, so he couldn’t display his energy, but I felt that the two people’s breathing was stable.
“okay. “You can rest assured now.”
Edgar nodded with a light smile as if telling him not to worry.
“Did you know you could also treat?”
I don’t know exactly what it does because there are no aurors, but as he said, it is definitely healing.
“This dad is better at catching than at swordsmanship. Medicine, civil engineering, welding, architecture, breeding, and piloting. There’s nothing I can’t do. The best among them is this snout. “The reason your mom fell in love with me was because I was good at keeping my mouth shut.”
Edgar stretched out his words and smiled happily.
“But it looks like you still call me mom.”
“Ah, if I get embarrassed, I don’t even know…”
Raon blinked, his face turning red.
“It’s good. “Because we’re close.”
Edgar smiled and nodded.
“From now on, don’t call me Rektar, but call me grandfather. “You’ll really like it.”
He patted Rektar’s forehead coolly and giggled.
“I know, but I still can’t speak up.”
Raon lowered his gaze, saying that it took a long time for him to even call Glenn grandfather.
“I guess so. So do you want to try me first? “Try it, Dad!”
“Um…”
I couldn’t speak right away and my lips were trembling. I was about to say no, but Edgar’s eyes inside the helmet were so earnest that I nodded.
“Ah, father.”
“Ugh…”
Edgar stumbled and let out an exclamation as if he had been hit by an arrow.
“Good! This is what it felt like! “I just wanted to hear it from my dad first, but that’s a bit disappointing.”
He said he wanted to hear his father’s voice when he was a child.
“Do you want to give it a try?”
“I will do it later. “I’m a little embarrassed.”
“It’s unfortunate, but there’s nothing we can do.”
Edgar said he would definitely listen and grabbed Raon’s shoulder.
“It will take some time for the treatment to finish. Would you like to tell me how you have been living so far? “Conversation is the only way for people to become closer.”
“Hmm….”
Raon looked back. Glenn nodded heavily as if telling him to do so.
“I stayed at Sieghardt’s annex. “When my mother returned to the family, she was demoted to a collateral position, so she was frowned upon every time she went to the main house.”
“Ah, that’s how it happened.”
Edgar bowed his head to Glenn as if he understood right away.
“It must have been a measure to protect you from other direct members. Thank you for your consideration.”
He smiled as if he immediately understood Glenn’s feelings.
“….”
Glenn silently waved his hand as if to continue.
“Then just keep it short.”
Raon nodded and revealed his life so far.
“At the age of 12, I participated in basic training at the 5th Military Training Center. “The guys passed out up there right now are all my classmates.”
“You mean the kids who blocked the castle wall like an iron wall. It was completely different from when they invaded the branch before, but I didn’t expect them all to become masters. “Is it true that you raised them all?”
“…On the second mission, I met a madblood demon. “If the unit commander hadn’t come, everyone would have died.”
“He was the first to protect you just now. I was truly surprised that you risked your own life to block the way. “Please continue to believe and follow along.”
“Deciding between life and death with my father was more difficult than I thought. Still, I had no regrets because it was a fair fight. “My father was the most martial person I’ve ever seen.”
“That person doesn’t keep his promises, but when he fights, he is fair and square. He’s a funny guy. Since you were the last opponent, I would have been satisfied even if I died. He gave the name of the Sword World Manifestation? “You mean that last sword?”
Every time I told him about what I had done so far, Edgar reacted excessively.
It was fun to talk to because I felt like I was watching Glenn receive a mission report in the throne room.
However, as I continued talking, I noticed something strange.
“Hey, by the way…”
Raon swallowed dryly while talking about revealing Derus’ identity.
“Uh, Mom and Grandpa are recovering, but why is my dad’s vitality decreasing?”
As the aurors gradually recovered, I felt Edgar’s vitality drop rapidly. His voice also became dull, as if it had dried up.
“It’s part of the treatment. don’t worry.”
Edgar shook his head as if it was nothing. His voice cracked like he was about to die.
“Two, can I take off my helmet?”
Raon lifted his trembling hand and took off Edgar’s helmet.
“Ah…”
Edgar’s bones were as thin as someone who had starved for a month, and thick veins like ropes were sticking out on his face.
All that could be felt from his mummified body was a gruesome death.
“Hey, I got caught.”
Edgar gave a small slap with his hand as if it was a waste.
“What the hell is this….”
“I couldn’t help it.”
He shook his head calmly.
“Because it was the only way.”
Edgar laughed, saying that in order to save Silvia and Rektar, he had no choice but to absorb the demonic energy of death and share his vitality.
“B-but you have to live too! “Why on earth have you endured that hell until now?”
Raon gritted his teeth. Because I knew what kind of life Edgar had lived, the anger that had subsided came back.
“I met you.”
Edgar lifted his skinny hand and stroked his head.
My grip was so weak that it felt like my heart was sinking.
“I fought alongside my son, saved my daughter who was just watching, and saved my wife who was dying. “What else do you need?”
He said with a flawless smile that that was enough.
“And even if it wasn’t my intention, I killed a lot of people. “Now you are being punished.”
“What a punishment!”
Raon screamed at Edgar. I couldn’t accept those words because my previous life where I was dominated by Derus was the same.
“Raon. Please sit down. “I don’t have time anymore.”
Edgar calmly waved his hands as if accepting his own death.
“Ugh….”
Raon looked at his father’s sinking hand and lowered his head.
“I am. I wanted to teach you and Sia my sword skills. “I gave up because it was impossible, but when I saw you fighting with the magic sword, I thought our fates were connected.”
Edgar stroked Raon’s head and then held him in his arms.
“I was honored and happy to be able to fight my last fight with my son.”
“Oh, no….”
“Please take care of my mom, sister, and grandfather.”
He closed his mouth and hugged himself tightly as if those were his last words.
It was very different from the chattering person who never stopped talking until now.
“Father…”
“Now you’re calling me with all your heart.”
Edgar smiled brightly and bent down, as if all his wishes had now come true. His dried body turned into black powder and began to fly.
“please!”
Although Raon delivered the auror that had barely recovered, the collapse of Edgar’s body did not stop.
“hmm?”
Glenn, who was chewing his lip while looking at Edgar, suddenly moved to Raon’s left.
“Who are you?”
He aimed his Jincheon Sword at the darkness with more nervous eyes than when he met the leader of Oma.
“I…”
A child with white hair and skin like jade walked out with an unfamiliar voice.
“I ran out of money…”
