Episode 613
Lithrn frowned as he silently entered the village of the Thran tribe.
‘I never thought I’d treat someone I met for the first time like a subordinate.’
As Raon rushed to the battlefield where the Sran tribe and assassins were fighting, he gave me instructions to stay in this village.
I honestly couldn’t believe that there was an ember hidden inside the village that would cause a big explosion. It may be outside, but it is not easy to hide a fire inside the village.
“Hmm…”
Now that I think about it, I think Raon didn’t like me following him from the beginning. Even when he entered the burning forest, he looked like he was asking why he followed me.
‘What is the reason? ‘Is it because you think they will steal information about Muhak?’
I thought it might be because, having lived as an assassin and informant, my keen eye was better than that of a top military officer.
‘You’re narrow-minded than I thought.’
It is no exaggeration to say that the Black Market and Sieghardt are currently in a semi-alliance, but it was funny to think that way.
‘But you never know.’
Raon may have really sent him here to protect the village, so as he was making a suitable escape route, the golden sun and moon rose above the dark sky.
‘What is that…’
The moment my mouth opened in shock, a terrifying storm of auras broke out from under the sun and moon.
It was Raon. Holding a long sword burning with flame and frost, he stood at the center of the battlefield, simultaneously blocking the shamans and assassins of the Sran tribe.
He did not use special sword techniques or use huge aurors.
Although it was an ordinary sword attack, the Sran tribe stumbled with their strength loosened, and the assassins could not withstand the single sword blow and were torn apart like pieces of paper.
In the end, dozens of assassins were frozen along with the floor.
Achieving such amazing feats with a sword was a sight that even he, who had visited countless battlefields, had never seen before.
After that, no one pointed a weapon at Raon. With just a few swings of the sword, the malice and murderous intent on the battlefield disappeared.
One monster named Raon Sieghart ended the war.
‘Wait a minute…’
Watching Raon fight, I thought that there was no way a person with that much power would be reluctant to have his martial arts revealed.
‘Then really?’
Lisrn quickly opened his spirits. I could feel the presence of assassins approaching the village around the gently burning flames.
The assassins stopped at a certain distance and created a subtle wave of aura. The wave seeped into the village and caused a huge explosion.
Wow!
An enormous wall of flames erupted and enveloped the entire village. The heat is so intense that breathing stops on its own.
A prison of flames was erected where one could neither breathe nor escape.
“What the hell!”
“Why is there a fire here all of a sudden….”
“Everyone come out! “If we continue like this, we will all die!”
The remaining elderly people in the village came out, taking the children who had been hiding in their homes. But the fire was so strong that I just chewed my lip, not knowing what to do.
Cheeeeee!
Lithrn pulled out the sword he was wearing at his waist. By generating sword energy and a sword wind, I opened the escape route I had prepared in advance.
“Get out this way!”
The old men and children of the Sran tribe opened their eyes wide at his shout.
“I don’t know who it is, but thank you!”
“Everyone come this way!”
“Get out quickly before the fire spreads further!”
The tribesmen seemed suspicious at first, but they escaped the village engulfed in fire through an open road, as if they thought the enemy had no reason to save them.
Lithrn swallowed his saliva as he watched the old men and children of the Thran tribe running away.
‘It was real?’
Does this make sense?
He alone may have the force to end the war. You may notice that assassins are lurking around.
However, no matter how much I think about it, finding embers in the village that haven’t yet burned is an ability I can’t understand.
It was no exaggeration to say that it was not at the level of a monster or a genius, but that it was possessed by a god.
Lithrn looked away as he left the village for the last time.
When I tried to find Raon, he had already disappeared, and all I could see was a warrior from the Sran tribe and a shaman running towards me with sadness and anger in their eyes.
However, after confirming that the villagers were safe, they came towards us with their eyes relaxed.
“thank you!”
“thank you so much! “A benefactor!”
“How should I repay this favor!”
The Sran tribe chief and the warriors approached and bowed their heads, saying thank you.
“Oh no, I…”
Lisrn’s fingertips trembled as he looked at the people saying thank you without the slightest hesitation.
‘Now that I think about it…’
This is my first time receiving a greeting like this.
Since I lived as an assassin and then became an informant, I have never been thanked or thanked by anyone in my life.
As I received sincere greetings from people, a strange, tingling sensation filled my heart.
It wasn’t a bad feeling, but the facts had to be conveyed clearly.
“I didn’t do it.”
Lithrn shook his head resolutely.
“Raon gave instructions to protect the village just in case.”
“Um, he…”
“Huh…”
“Have you been thinking this far?”
The Sran tribal chief groaned and looked back to where Raon was. The tribesmen also looked at Raon with surprised eyes.
Lithrn followed his gaze and shook his head.
‘He is truly an unpredictable person.’
* * *
Raon quenched his appetite as he watched the masked assassin with his eyes twitching.
‘This guy is the leader.’
All of the assassins here were experts, but when looking at their strength alone, the assassin in front was the strongest.
It was clear that this guy was the head of the assassins who carried out today’s work.
“How did you get here…”
“They say it’s an assassination stand.”
Judiel said that the name of the assassination team that Jubel belonged to was the Hwansaldae.
“What are you aiming for?”
“What are you talking about!”
Master Hwansal stepped back and swallowed dry saliva.
“You guys have been fighting, not assassinating. “For an assassin to attack you from the front, you’re no different from a moth.”
Raon narrowed his eyes as he looked at Hwansaldaeju.
‘There’s definitely another purpose.’
When an assassin’s plan goes awry, he retreats and does not rush in like crazy. It seemed like what they were aiming for, not the assassination of the Sran tribe, was something else.
“dog sound!”
At the shouts of Hwansaldaeju, the assassins hiding nearby began to approach silently.
‘This one was real.’
Judging from the fact that they knew how to hide their intentions and perfectly killed any sign of death, they were at least two times more skilled than the assassins they had faced earlier.
Seeing these assassins stationed here made it even clearer that their goal was not to assassinate the Thran tribe.
Peeeeeeee!
Assassins hiding in the dark fired daggers. The fast yet difficult movements continued in layers, forming a net-like shape. It was a method of ascension that combined a lot of experience with well-learned Buddhist techniques.
‘Still…’
Although it has no meaning.
Raon fell into the net of daggers launched by the assassins. He raised his sword with his eyes filled with the murderous intent of the daggers.
The blade, flickering in silver light, drew a trajectory cutting through the darkness.
Quad deuk!
The Jecheon Sword extended without hesitation, splitting the net of daggers that had been pouring down at once.
Looking at the assassins’ distorted eyes, I pulled out my requiem sword. The red blade grazed the scabbard and made a beautiful sound.
Wooooow!
It was Cheongwoo, the swordsman of sound that penetrates the hearing and crushes the nerves.
“Wow!”
“Aaaagh!”
“Turn it off!”
The assassins dropped their weapons and fell to their knees, feeling the pain as if their nerves were being shattered.
Raon caused a cartoon ball. When he was about to draw the Heavenly Sword with his hand wrapped around the flame rising from the dantian, the Great Master of Hwansal moved.
As he lightly stretched out his hand, the dagger loaded with aura turned into dozens of beams of light and cut through the space. His skills were worthy of being the head of an assassination squad.
“Wake! “This guy has lost his strength too!”
Great Lord Hwansal shouted, blocking the path of the Jecheon Sword. The assassins, who had been disoriented by Cheongwu’s shock, came to their senses and charged again, clutching their daggers.
The footwork was rapid. As I took a single breath, their daggers were pointed at my throat and heart.
“It’s not wrong, but…”
Raon chuckled and lowered his eyebrows.
“It’s not at a level you can handle.”
I broadened my horizons. I raised my sword, which had been tilted to the left, while taking in the approaching daggers and assassins at a glance.
Eerily sharp blades spread out along the charred horizon.
As the black long guns flutter, the darkness is torn away. The assassins’ necks were split open by the sword and rolled on the floor. More than ten assassins were killed with a single sword strike.
“Oh, how…”
The Great Lord of Hwansal had veins in his eyes as if he couldn’t believe it. They looked like they couldn’t believe that the assassins, who were going in different directions and at different distances, were killed with one sword.
“I told you.”
Raon shook his head as he approached Hwansaldaeju.
“It’s beyond what you can handle.”
“Ugh!”
Master Hwansal stepped backwards. His body disappeared in an instant, as if melting into the darkness.
‘We have to run away!’
I heard that using Sword World Appearance consumes more than 80% of the aurors, but it didn’t seem to have any effect on that monster.
Fighting from the front is impossible. I had to get out of here somehow.
I tried to move forward with all my might, but strangely, my vision did not change. It felt like it was frozen in place.
‘What is it?’
My lip quivered and I looked back, but I couldn’t see my legs. The moment I realized that, my body tilted and I felt unbearable pain.
“Aaaaaaagh!”
Hwansaldaeju screamed as he grabbed the dried bushes. When I looked at my leg again, I saw that it had been cut below the knee and was vomiting red blood.
that buck
Raon lowered his sword and approached Hwansaldaeju.
“The only way for a trapped rat to survive is to cut off its legs.”
I looked down and made eye contact with the Great Lord of Hwansal.
“Of course, you wouldn’t survive even if you cut off your leg.”
“Ugh…”
His complexion turned pale, as if he was sick of fear and pain.
“Speak.”
Raon placed his hand on Hwansaldaeju’s back and twisted his chin.
“What were you aiming for?”
“Hehe…”
The Great Lord of Hwansal looked up with a groan-like laugh.
“You’re probably going to kill me anyway, right?”
“Is it easy for an assassin to die? “You know that the difference between dying hard and dying is also important, right?”
“Don’t be funny. Baby. “I decide my own death.”
He sneered and grinned.
“No, your breath is not yours.”
Raon snorted and pulled out Hwansaldaeju’s chin.
“Huh…”
“Assassins are old-fashioned.”
While saying that, he took out the poison that was stuck in the teeth of Hwansaldaeju.
“How could you…”
Hwansaldaeju’s eyes widened as if he couldn’t believe he had found the poison inside his teeth.
“It’s basic.”
Raon shook his head, throwing the poison back.
“Since you refused to take the easy path, I’ll send you down the difficult path.”
While saying those words, the heat of the manga ball and the coldness of Glacia were pushed through things like phantom assassination. He spread the two energies and used the torture method he developed himself.
“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
she she herself… its…)… His eyes began to bloodshot from the pain.
Raon sat down on Hwansaldaeju’s back and motioned to Ras.
‘Do you want to bet on whether I can last an hour? If you guess it right, I’ll buy you a bead ice cream set.’
-What if it’s wrong?
‘How about you give me all the abilities?’
-It’s not that bad.
Lars nodded quickly.
-Still, it’s the head of assassins. One hour should be enough.
The guy raised his hand saying he was betting on holding out for more than an hour.
‘Then I’ll be there in an hour.’
Raon laughed and increased the intensity of the torture inflicted on Hwansaldaeju.
-Hey, you cheater!
Lars screamed and grabbed his collar.
-Isn’t it against the law to increase the intensity of torture?
‘There was no condition that the intensity could not be increased.’
-That’s a basic condition!
‘Oh yeah? I didn’t know. I’ll keep this in mind next time.’
-What kind of personality is this guy….
The guy opened his mouth as if he was dumbfounded.
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
hero hero hero her… her… her hers her her her her hers her] hers hers hers hers hers hers hers hers hers back] hers hers back] again…)…” Hwansaldaeju…” He let out a breathless moan as if he could no longer bear it. Looking at his eyes, he seemed ready to tell me anything as long as the torture stopped.
“It will happen a long time ago.”
Raon released the torture and caused Hwansaldaeju.
“What is your name?”
“Cocoline. “This is Colin.”
Colin lowered his head with a completely lost expression.
-Ugh! You are truly the devil of fun!
Lars gritted his teeth in exasperation.
[You have won the bet with < Fury >.
As soon as Lars acknowledged it, a message popped up saying he had won the bet.
-He doesn’t come out when the king calls, but he’s extremely fast at times like this! Either really break it or…
[All abilities increase by 3 points.]
As Ras frowned, an additional message came up.
-uh? Why did it increase by 3 points instead of 1 point?
‘You didn’t even tell me how many points there were. It must be the system mind.’
-There’s no need to say that! Of course, you should consider it as 1 point!
‘Oh yeah? Then I’ll tell you to refer to it next time.’
Raon waved his hand toward the system that sent the message.
-I’m really going crazy!
Lars could not bear it anymore and looked up at the sky and screamed.
Raon motioned to Colin, leaving Lars to explode with anger.
“So what were you guys aiming for? “Don’t talk about the assassination of the Sran tribe.”
“It was about creating a crisis.”
“Creating a crisis?”
“That’s…”
As Colin was about to answer, a blue light flickered in his heart and his heart was torn apart.
Pukaaaaaak!
The blood that burst out later showed that this situation was real.
Raon saw a man with an eerie eye glow behind Colin’s collapsing body.
‘Karun?’
Karun, the heavy radio operator who I had never imagined would be here, appeared.
‘Why is that person here…’
I don’t know why Karun, who said he was on a mission, is here.
‘Why are you here… Wait!’
What if Jubel hadn’t left Karun?
I thought Jubel became an assassin and Karun sold him out, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. This assassination group called the Hwansaldae may itself be Karun’s.
‘No, that’s right!’
Neither Jubel nor Judiel were able to escape Karun’s grasp from the beginning.
Combining the appearance of Karun with Colin’s words about creating a crisis for the Thran tribe, a hypothesis came to mind.
‘What if Karun appears and saves everyone when the Thran tribe is on the verge of being burned to death?’
Karun will become the benefactor of the Beast League and will be able to achieve tremendous results in Sieghart.
In reality, the assassins who attempted to attack the Sran tribe were numerous but not very strong. It was clear that he was trying to improve Karun’s own performance by using them as discard words.
‘I guess the reason he did this is because of me.’
Recently, I’ve been hearing that it wouldn’t be strange for me to become a successor candidate because I’ve accumulated a lot of achievements.
It was clear that Karun, who felt a sense of crisis due to the strange atmosphere within the family, came up with this plan to make a profit.
‘Hwaryongjeomjeong blocked Colin’s mouth.’
By killing and silencing Colin, who could do nothing, Karun proved that this whole situation was his own doing.
“Jungmu Jeonju, sir.”
Raon calmed his burning stomach and faced Karun’s cool eyes.
“I never thought I’d see you in a place like this.”
“I came because the fire was spreading while I was returning after completing my mission.”
That’s not such a strange answer. In fact, he wasn’t with the family when he returned from his mission.
“Then why did you kill this guy?”
“You’re an assassin, right? “Assassins are people who cannot let down their guard until they are about to die.”
Karun shook his head, asking why he was asking the obvious.
Raon chewed his lip as he watched Karun slowly approaching.
‘Are you planning to kill me?’
It’s dangerous….
When I saw Karun’s calm expression, a chill ran down my spine.
It’s just me and Karun here now. There was absolutely no chance of him surviving here.
‘Because even if I use Sword Realm, I can’t win.’
Karun’s military power is greater than that of his father. Even if I fought with all my might, I would have been pushed back, but now that I had lost my strength after using the sword system, there was no need to say anything.
‘Should I run away? No, it’s more dangerous if you show your back.’
A little while ago, Karun’s sword skills cut Colin down before he even realized it. If you move hastily, your head will be blown off by a single sword.
“Raon Sieghardt.”
Karun came within striking distance of swinging his sword and revealed his cold eyes.
“What did you hear from him?”
“well.”
Raon shook his head with a calm smile.
“is it.”
Karun’s eyes darken. It seemed like it was about to end here and now.
As Raon strengthened his hands holding the Jecheon Sword and the Requiem Sword and prepared for defense, a huge shadow appeared in the sky.
Wow!
A white tiger the size of a house burrowed through the forest and let out a magnificent roar. The man riding on it got down in front of Raon and Karun.
Raon’s hands trembled without realizing it due to his massive size that could not be pushed aside by a white tiger, his beagle eyes, and his subversive spirit that seemed to be oppressing all living things.
“Hmm…”
Karun also stepped back, frowning, as if she hadn’t expected his appearance.
Raon swallowed dry saliva and called out to the man who got off the back of the white tiger.
“Lord of the Beast League?”
