The Reincarnated Assassin is a Genius Swordsman - Chapter 781
Chapter 781
Raon asked Helen a favor and then headed to Pedric’s mansion.
‘How long did I sleep?’
-Two days.
Lars muttered that it was pathetic and clicked his tongue.
-I don’t know why the young guy is so physically weak. When my king was your age, he used lava as a blanket to sleep.
‘No, I’m telling you to rest for a bit in the world of images…’
When he meets her in the world of imagination, he tells her not to overwork herself because she might die, but in reality, she gets angry because she woke up late. He was a ridiculous devil.
-Ha, you should wake up on your own in one day! The king hasn’t eaten anything in two days, and his stomach hurts! Kellogg!
Lars shook his head, saying it was too hard to just smell his food.
‘You’re coughing again. are you okay?’
-I felt better after sleeping, even if it was only for a short period of time. Kellogg!
Even though he told me not to worry, he coughed dryly. It didn’t seem to be in good condition yet.
‘Is there any medicine for you?’
-joy! Are you worried about the king because you are a child? Dry your head and come back… Kellogg!
Lars furrowed his brows, telling me not to make foolish remarks.
‘When receiving compensation, they make a big fuss…’
-Well, that and this are different! Do you think it would be good if the King’s powers only fit into your snout?
The guy shook his head, saying there was no need to worry anyway. I’m so moody that I don’t know which melody to dance to.
-Bring some food!
‘i get it. okay.’
After chatting briefly with Lars, we soon arrived in front of Pedric’s mansion.
smart.
“Come in.”
When I knocked, I heard Pedric’s kind voice coming from inside the mansion.
As soon as I opened the door and entered, I saw Pedric looking at a patient in the treatment room.
“Raon. It looks like it’s finally happened….”
“Raon!”
Merlin burst out from inside the infirmary as Pedric smiled and waved his hand.
-Hey! Kellogg! Lee Iik! Kellogg!
Lars seemed genuinely surprised and let out a series of screams and coughs.
“did you sleep well? “I carried you on my back and took you to the annex!”
Merlin tugged at her hand as if he didn’t remember her.
“Her grandfather kept following her from behind, his eyes wide open. “I thought she was a stalker!”
She giggled loudly, making Glenn the butt of her jokes.
“Matriarch? No, rather, why are you here?”
Raon also didn’t know that Merlin would be here, so she opened her eyes in surprise.
“Because my mother, father, and grandfather are all here. “I have to take care of it.”
Merlin tilted his head at her, thinking it was natural.
“Shouldn’t that title be changed…?”
Raon looked at her Merlin and her chin trembled. Even if she had no choice during the war because of the urgency, she never thought she would use that title until now. She was truly a woman she couldn’t handle.
“hey! “If you’re here, clean up after him!”
Marta came out from behind her Merlin and wrinkled her nose.
“I’m treating you, but you keep coming next to me and interrupting me!”
“Is it right for me to change your mother and father’s bandages?”
Merlin shrugged her shoulders as if wondering what was the problem.
“That’s a distraction! “You can’t even sense it properly!”
Marca gritted her teeth, glaring at her Merlin.
“Why are you here again?”
Raon sighed as he looked at Martha’s red face.
“I was helping because there were so many patients.”
Martha bobbed her head as if she knew something.
“Are you still learning medicine?”
“He accepted everything I taught him very well. “I think he’ll surpass me soon.”
Pedric huffed, saying that Martha’s talent was not with the sword, but that she seemed to be in medicine.
“You still think about what happened back then…”
The reason Martha learned her medical skills was because she felt ashamed that she could not do anything when Gwangpungdae was dying after being attacked by the demon army of Changyeom.
She seemed to still have that in mind.
“There’s that, but it’s because I want to save her mother.”
Martha lowered her head and chewed her lip.
“hmm….”
“She screamed at you that she would definitely save her mother, but deep down, she had given up more than halfway.”
She let out a low breath and put down her bloody bandages.
“I thought it would be absolutely impossible for me, who is still a master, to defeat the White Blood Cult Leader, who is at the highest level among transcendents. but….”
Marta looked Raon in the eyes and smiled faintly.
“Seeing how you saved your family. No, I was encouraged to see the whole family caring for each other.”
She nodded, feeling hopeful that she, too, could save her mother.
“okay….”
Raon smiled with her head slightly lowered.
She hasn’t been able to save everyone yet, but she says that Marta has given her courage, and her determination has bloomed that she, too, will be able to save Sia.
“I will do anything for that day.”
Martha said, “Please help me too,” and showed her strong eyes.
“okay. “I will help you until the end.”
Raon sensed Martha’s will and nodded her head heavily.
“Hehe.”
Pedric smiled softly as if he was pleased with the conversation between Raon and Marta.
“….”
Surprisingly, Merlin didn’t say anything. Watching her twitch her fingers made her want to intervene, but since it was her family’s story, she seemed considerate in her own way.
-Big! The beef girl has grown even further.
Lars exclaimed and applauded Marta.
‘It’s that sound every time.’
-I mean it this time! Because the herbivore didn’t raise its fur, but instead exposed its claws!
The guy smiled as if he was looking forward to the future.
-You must have played a big role in achieving that change.
‘Are you even praising me now?
-Because the beef girl is the king’s servant. Kellogg!
Ras lifted his chin while coughing, saying that he would take responsibility until the end.
‘okay. That’s right. ‘We are family, and we must take responsibility until the end.’
Raon reflected on Lars’ sincerity and then looked at Pedric.
“What about your mother and the others?”
“I haven’t woken up yet, but I’m starting to recover.”
Pedric lowered his hand as if to tell him not to worry.
“Can I look at you for a moment?”
“I’ll guide you!”
As if he had been waiting, Merlin jumped out and opened the door to the hospital room on her right.
“Whoa….”
Raon let out a low breath and entered the hospital room.
“I kept looking. We bandage it and give it medicine. “I even gave you a massage!”
Merlin bowed his head slightly and nodded, as if asking her to praise him.
“hmm….”
As Merlin said, the complexion of Sylvia, Rektar, and Edgar has improved.
Her breathing was also much more stable than before, so it seemed like she would wake up soon.
-mom! Kellogg!
Lars whimpered, clinging to Sylvia’s forehead.
-This guy keeps sleeping without giving me food! I miss my mom!
He told her to wake up and stroked Sylvia’s head.
“thank you. really.”
Raon bowed her back to Merlin. I was just thankful and sorry for everything that happened during the war and afterward.
“Why do you bow your head between us?”
Merlin told her to get up, lifted her back up, and then held her hands tightly.
“In front of your family already? “Isn’t it a little early?”
She narrowed her eyes and curled the corners of her mouth.
“…You held my hand?”
Raon let go of her hand on Merlin’s and her shoulders shook.
“By the way, Sia. “No, where is your sister?”
The only people in this hospital room were Edgar, Rektar, and Sylvia, and Sia was nowhere to be seen.
“There’s a chance it could explode, so my grandfather is stopping it.”
Merlin pointed towards her main building, saying that Glenn was protecting her.
“Merlin. “I need to get back into my sister’s mind, can you help me?”
“as soon as? “It must be difficult, right?”
“are you okay.”
She was still dizzy in body and spirit, but she couldn’t stay still because she had seen Murka’s past.
“okay.”
Since Merlin needed time, she said she would go first and prepare it, and she left for the family home.
She seemed to regard her entry into the throne room as her walk, something that even her immediate family members feared. Even as she watched, she was dumbfounded.
-Aren’t you going to follow right away?
‘Because I have work to do before that.’
Raon left Pedric’s mansion and returned to the annex.
In that short period of time, the table in the annex was filled with food carefully prepared by Helen and her maids.
“Good thinking! “If you want to protect Sylvia, you must at least eat well!”
Helen said she was glad and pushed the dishes on the table in front of her.
-Huh! What, what! These foods! Kellogg!
Lars drooled as he looked at the prepared food, as if he had never even thought of such a thing.
‘I asked Helen for a favor while you were whining about being hungry. ‘Please prepare some food for me.’
Raon sat down in front of the table and waved his hand.
‘It’s a bit of a time now. When everyone wakes up, I’ll throw a party with your favorite dish.’
-This is enough!
Lars nodded, saying he was satisfied with just this.
‘Then the first thing is…’
-Of course it’s pineapple pizza!
As if asking what he was doing, he pointed to a pizza with a whole pineapple on one side.
‘ah….’
* * *
Raon told Glenn and Merlin, who were waiting in the basement of the throne room, what happened in the world of images and the story of Murka’s dream.
“Well, this is an unheard of incident. No, I would say that there are so many of them that it’s hard to find them.”
Glenn narrowed her eyebrows as she said that she still continues to increase her performance by catching monsters and spirit creatures that live quietly.
She said, “If the entire orc tribe possessed sages, they would be an ancient race.”
Merlin touched the old woman’s mask and let out a low breath.
“Ancient race?”
“Eden’s ultimate goal. They are special people who lived during the time when the Demon Dragon of Destruction ruled. “He possessed wisdom and power greater than that of a human being.”
She clicked her tongue, thinking there would be very little left now.
“The reason why that person named Essian went to the forest again was because he knew that the Orcs, including the Green King, were an ancient race, and he wanted to achieve great results.”
Merlin shook her fist as she said it was awful. It seemed to her that something similar had happened to her.
-Ugh….
Lars suddenly whimpered and lowered his head.
– King Bon didn’t know that much, but he is a pitiful bastard!
The guy’s eyes turned red as if he sympathized with Murka’s anger and despair.
‘therefore. ‘I guess I’ll have to make him attain Buddhahood.’
Raon sighed and looked at Merlin.
“I’ll go back in.”
“huh. okay.”
Merlin told her to wait a moment and condensed mana into both her hands.
“Are you going to be okay?”
Glenn narrowed her eyes in concern.
“It wouldn’t be good to keep entering other people’s images.”
“Right now, there is no one else who can do it but me. and….”
Raon smiled slightly and nodded her head.
“Because she wants to get her sister up before her mother wakes up.”
“okay….”
Glenn patted her gently on the shoulder, as if he knew she couldn’t be stopped.
“Don’t overdo it.”
“yes.”
Raon nodded her head and Lars waved her hand as she looked at Merlin.
-The king will not follow you this time.
Lars shook his head, saying that since he was full, he would just sleep in his bracelet.
-He said everything he had to say to that guy.
‘What to say?’
-There is such a thing!
He told me not to ask any more questions and went into the bracelet.
‘It’s bland.’
She smiled slightly and looked at her Merlin. She nodded her head as if she was ready.
“Then I’ll be back.”
After Raon caught her breath, she stretched out her hand towards her blue pillar that Merlin had set up for her.
Hwaaaaaaaaa!
The vision of Glenn and Merlin changes in an instant, and a black, dead forest appears. It was an image of Murka, the green king.
Just as when I first saw Murka, he was standing in the center of the forest, holding a stone sword cut in half.
“Why did you come back?”
He frowned at her as if he didn’t understand.
“You said you’d come back.”
Raon approached Murka and pulled out his sword.
Coo coo coo coo!
Murka seemed to accept this as a sign to fight, and raised a strong spirit over the stone sword.
“Let’s spar.”
Unlike Murka, Raon held out his sword forward with a steady energy.
“what…?”
Murka’s eyes widened as if asking what he was saying.
“The swordsmen of Sieghart, where I belong, develop camaraderie and skills through sparring. “It is a practice of studying each other’s swordsmanship with swords that are not filled with lethal force.”
“….”
Murka’s eyes trembled as if she didn’t know what Raon was thinking.
Wow.
Raon took a step closer to the embarrassed Murka and lightly tapped the surface of the stone sword with his sword.
“Since we crossed swords, I’ll take it as acceptance.”
He smiled slightly and struck Murka’s stone sword with force. A loud noise rang out, and Murka’s arms flailed as if they were about to fly off.
“Mmm!”
Murka swung his stone sword roughly with his eyebrows lowered.
Coooooo!
Raon blocked Murka’s sword strike and slowly parted his lips.
“I too have had a leash grabbed by a human.”
“what? “What are you doing now…”
“I wasn’t fooled like you, but he had my soul in his hands from the beginning. “There was nothing I wanted to do or could do.”
Murka, whose jaw trembled, brought up his past. Of course, he couldn’t tell the story of his reincarnation, so he dramatized it appropriately and told it as if it had happened in his childhood.
“…That’s how we were able to save Habun Castle. When I think about it now, each and every step was like a thin ice road. I guess I was lucky because of my childhood and the Lord of Seong who treated me kindly. Oh, I have a gift with the child I brought there. Now that kid is… um? “It looks like time is up.”
Raon chuckled as he watched his hand blur as if it would disappear.
Because I had experienced so many things, the time I could have spent in the world of images passed while I was talking about Habun Castle.
“Be right back.”
Raon waved his hand at Murka, who was still dazed, and then disappeared into smoke in the world of images.
“so….”
Murka pursed his lips deeply as he looked at the place where Raon had disappeared.
“Who is that child, and what is the gift?…”
* * *
Wooooow!
The light rising from within the helmet disappeared, and Raon went limp.
“It looks like it’s over.”
Merlin looked at Raon and smiled.
“Right.”
Glenn nodded and moved Sia to her bed first.
“Tsk.”
Meanwhile, Merlin put Raon on his back and lifted her up.
“Then I will leave Raon in the annex….”
“Until there.”
Glenn stood in front of her and frowned at her.
“I will carry you today.”
“yes? why?”
“You carried me on your back yesterday, so wouldn’t it be right for me to carry you today?”
He stretched out his hand as if there would be no rejection.
“yes? “Where can you find something like that?”
As if Merlin was saying no, she did not let go of her hand holding Raon.
“I can’t even smell Raon except at times like this!”
“What a smell! “Stop saying anything weird!”
Glenn waved her hand, saying absolutely no, and before she knew it, Raon, who was on her Merlin’s back, was being held in his hand.
“You can’t even call me grandpa!”
Merlin screamed that she could never do this and she clung to Glenn’s long gun.
“Okay….”
Glenn’s lips quivered as she watched Merlin cling to her like a leech.
“Are you not afraid of me?”
“yes? “Why are you afraid of Grandpa?”
Merlin shook his head, widening her eyes.
‘What is this guy…’
Unlike other people, he didn’t find it difficult and didn’t understand why people called him grandfather.
She wanted to hit him hard, but she was frustrated that she couldn’t treat him carelessly because he was Ra-on and Sia’s benefactor.
“It’s done! “I will take you today!”
Glenn left those words and went straight up her stairs.
“No!”
Merlin shook her head and clapped her hands, and Raon, who had been held in Glenn’s hand, returned to her Merlin’s back.
“I’ll go first!”
“Where!”
When Glenn extended her hand again, Raon came out and was caught in his grasp. He went straight up her stairs, as if he didn’t want to be fooled by Merlin.
“Ugh!”
Merlin screamed and followed behind Glenn.
“Even if you’re my grandfather, there are some things I can’t compromise on!”
The two played tag and moved to the annex in harmony.
* * *
As soon as Raon came to his senses, he went back to the throne room and entered the image of Murka.
As he sparred with him, he continued to tell me the path he had taken.
“…That’s how we were able to defeat the demons of Eden and rescue the saint in rags. “I was fortunate to be able to repay the favor of his childhood.”
“There’s no place that those Eden guys won’t be involved in.”
“I was kidnapped by Eden while on a mission, and when I thought there was no way out, the matriarch and others came and saved me. I can’t express in words what I felt at that time. “Because it was the day I felt the intangible value of relationships.”
“Relationships are a value that our tribe also values. “You helped even people who hated you. Your family is like a tribe.”
“The Aryan family we fought this time was originally in a space called the Swamp of Death. “There was a guy there called the Ghost of Eden…”
“To play with the living and insult the dead to such an extent, you are a man whose soul should be extinguished. I’m glad you took care of it.”
Murka, who didn’t even respond at first, listened to her story and was happy, surprised, and embarrassed.
He also seemed to be immersed in the story with Dalian.
“…So I was able to save my family this time.”
Raon lowered his sword with a heavy breath. He told us all about his life, ending with the story of how he met his family again.
There was nothing left to say now.
“So your story isn’t over yet.”
Murka sighed with regret and lowered her stone sword to the ground.
“Like my ancestors, I wanted to have good relationships with humans. With people like you.”
His gaze, looking up at the gray-white sky, slowly fell on Raon.
“It seems like it has finally come true. “Even if it’s the last time, I’m still happy.”
Murka portrayed a smile with eyes filled with warmth, not fighting spirit.
“you….”
“The oath I made to protect that child was not to move from this spot. And the mind does not give in.”
He nodded and held the stone sword backwards.
“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
Raon frowned at Murka.
“Thank you.”
Murka smiled even brighter and stabbed himself in the chest with the broken stone sword.
Whoa whoa!
The stone sword pierced his chest, and red blood flowed out.
“Murka!”
“It’s a pledge I made. If I were killed here by someone else, Sia would never wake up. “He thought it was better to keep him from waking up than to be used as a killing machine by demons.”
Murka spat out black blood from the corner of his mouth and spoke of the oath he had made.
“But it would be different if you were there. “I believe in you and I want to bring that child back to life.”
He pulled out the stone sword stabbing his heart without erasing his laughter.
Pukaaaaaak!
Red blood, no different from that of humans, spurted out and drenched the black, dead forest.
“why…?”
Raon looked at Murka and swallowed his dry saliva.
“I was deceived by a human, why did you protect me?”
I couldn’t believe that Murka, who had been attacked by humans, made an oath to protect Sia. Because it was something he could never do.
“If an animal bites me, does that mean I also have to become an animal?”
Murka, in his orc form, laughed and spoke more humane words than anyone else.
“I will watch your life through the eyes of this child until the end.”
With those last words, he turned into black ash and scattered along with the other orcs.
Whoa!
A light light rose from the ground where Murka was stomping all the way.
