The Reincarnated Assassin is a Genius Swordsman - Chapter 1050

## Chapter 1050

“Right now?”

Even Karun, the renowned Lord of the Sky, widened his eyes in astonishment at the news that the war had begun.

“You mean we’re leaving without any preparation?”

He let out a disbelieving sigh, shaking his head.

“Isn’t this too hasty?”

Serena, the Lord of the Sword Brigade, inhaled deeply and raised her hand.

“As Lord Zhongmu said, we haven’t prepared to fight in the

She shook her head, admitting that while they had undergone various training, they hadn’t practiced wielding their swords underwater.

“I

Latien, the Lord of the All-Sword Brigade, nodded in agreement with Serena.

“If we move too hastily, we might ruin everything!”

He pressed his lips together, emphasizing the need for time to prepare for a sea battle.

“What preparation?!”

Balder stomped his foot, dismissing the notion.

“It’s all the same, whether it’s the sea or the land! We don’t need to wait, it’s only a good thing! Why are you making such a fuss?”

He and Jinmu, the Lord of the Martial Arts Brigade, both shook their massive fists, eager to charge into battle.

“You ignorant fool! It’s completely different!”

Aris furrowed her brow, slapping the back of Balder’s head.

“Even the most skilled warriors will struggle in the water for the first time!”

She shook her head, emphasizing the importance of adapting to the water to unleash their full potential.

“Th, then what should we do…?”

Balder lowered his voice, rubbing the back of his head.

“That’s why I need to go! My men and I are perfectly adapted to the sea!”

Aris pounded her chest with her palm, declaring that she and her Qingfeng sailors would join the battle.

Denier, as if he had known this war was coming, calmly gazed at Glenn, his eyes filled with tranquility.

“Fighting the White Blood Cult is good, but why are you telling us now?”

“Right. If we had heard about the war with the White Blood Cult, we would have trained with our lives on the

“The same goes for the sea. If we had known beforehand, we would have trained to fight in the

“Even a month, or a week, before, if we had trained to adapt to the sea…”

The swordsmen, lined up in the training grounds, sighed, lamenting the late arrival of this crucial information.

“I ordered

Glenn stepped into the center of the platform, and the murmurs from all corners of the training ground instantly ceased.

“There are spies within Zig Hart. If the news that the White Blood Cult’s main base has been located had spread, they would have already fled to another location or set a trap to capture

He lowered his chin heavily, explaining that he had to deliver the news on the day of the war to avoid a potential counterattack from the White Blood Cult.

“Don’t worry about the sea

Raon straightened his back and stood beside Glenn.

“The magic prepared by the Grand Mages will activate, allowing you to attack the White Blood Cult’s main base from

He nodded, urging them to trust the magic that Chamber and Larian had been preparing for over two months.

“And the sea battle will be handled by our Whirlwind Brigade. You all focus on the fight in front of

Raon assured them that the Whirlwind Brigade had undergone grueling training to prepare for the sea battle.

*Gooooooooo!*

The Whirlwind Brigade swordsmen, as if to emphasize his words, unleashed a terrifying wave of energy that overwhelmed everyone present in the training ground.

“Ugh!”

“Those young ones, their energy is…”

“Th, the Whirlwind Brigade is this strong?”

The swordsmen gulped, surprised by the Whirlwind Brigade’s strength.

“Hmm!”

Glenn curled his lips, satisfied with Raon and the Whirlwind Brigade’s determination.

“So…”

Raon turned to Glenn, about to continue his speech, when…

*Wooooooooooooong!*

The dimensional portal, open in the sky, shook violently, and Chamber, wearing a red witch’s hat, and Evelyn, draped in a purple robe, appeared.

“What? Why didn’t you come even though I opened the portal?!”

Chamber wrinkled her nose, frustrated by the delay.

“Come on! Grandpa must have his reasons! Just wait!”

Even in the heart of Zig Hart, surrounded by countless swordsmen, Evelyn called Glenn

“Gr, Grandpa? Grandpa?”

“What does thatmean?”

“Wh, what’s going on…?”

The swordsmen, who had been steeled for battle against the White Blood Cult, stared at Evelyn and Glenn with dazed eyes.

“Ugh…”

Raon couldn’t help but cover his forehead with his hand in embarrassment.

-That madwoman is on a different level altogether.

Las sighed, exhausted.

-You, and that sword demon, are no match for that madman.

He shook his head, acknowledging that Evelyn’s madness was beyond comprehension.

“Qu, quiet!”

Glenn, also unable to hide his surprise, stammered slightly.

“I will now announce the forces that will be dispatched to fight the White Blood

As he raised his hand, the murmuring in the training ground fell silent, and a sense of tension spread across everyone’s faces.

“The vanguard, naturally, will be the Whirlwind Brigade, who have contributed the most to this

“Whirlwind Brigade, we accept your Lord’s command!”

At Raon’s command, the Whirlwind Brigade swordsmen all knelt.

“Aris Zig Hart, you will also participate. Your men will be waiting outside the dimensional

Glenn’s gaze turned towards Aris, who stood at the far left.

“I’ll kill them all!”

Aris clenched her fist, her long fingers curled around it, a challenge in her eyes.

“The Second Brigade, Zhongmu, will be responsible for the defense of the family. The Third Brigade, Xianmu, will remain here. The Fourth Brigade, Jinmu, will join the Whirlwind Brigade in the

Glenn, as if he had already made his decisions, gave his orders one by one, looking at Karun, Denier, and Balder in turn.

“…We accept your

Karun, understanding the need for defenders of the family, bit his lip but accepted the order.

“Hahaha! Good choice! I’ll cut the throats of those blood demons with my own hands!”

Balder, as if to assure him, slammed his fists together in front of his chest.

“We accept your Lord’s command!”

Denier, without hesitation, bowed his head, simply stating his obedience.

“Hmm…”

Raon narrowed his eyes, observing Denier’s stoic reaction.

‘He doesn’t say anything in this situation?’

Unlike Karun, who was tasked with defending the family, Denier was assigned to stand guard and could not leave this training ground.

If he was a Sama spy, this was the worst situation imaginable. Yet, he remained calm, accepting the order without any protest, which was confusing.

‘Is he really not a spy?’

Seeing this, he began to doubt his suspicions about Denier.

‘No, I mustn’t let my guard down. You never know what might

To regain his composure, Raon placed his hand on the hilt of his Heavenly Sword. The familiar feeling at his fingertips eased his heart.

“The Heavenly Sword Brigade will remain here. The Sword Brigade and All-Sword Brigade will support the Whirlwind Brigade from behind. The Hyun-ak and Jung-ak Orchestras will…”

Glenn surveyed the assembled forces in the training ground, assigning duties to each.

“…Lastly, I will also remain

He lowered his gaze, stating that he would stay in Zig Hart.

The swordsmen nodded, understanding the reasons behind Glenn’s decision to stay.

“Then, I entrust this to

Glenn stepped back, nodding towards Chamber.

“Grandpa, you don’t have to say that!”

Chamber chuckled and raised her hand. A dimensional portal opened before the swordsmen who were about to depart.

“Think of it as crossing your own doorstep. Go through

She tilted her chin, assuring them that they would arrive at their destination the moment they crossed the portal.

“We will remain here…”

Glenn, looking at the swordsmen standing before the portal, raised his jaw, the tendons in his neck bulging.

“We will

It wasn’t a command to not lose, nor an encouragement to fight and win, but a simple promise to wait. It was a promise that resonated deeper in their hearts than any other words of encouragement or advice.

“Yes!”

“We will return!”

“Please wait for us!”

It wasn’t just him. The swordsmen all gazed at Glenn with eyes filled with admiration.

“Depart!”

With Raon’s rough command, the Zig Hart swordsmen, their steps lighter than before, entered the blue dimensional portal.

“We will be

Raon bowed his head towards Glenn, who was smiling, and entered the portal last.

*Wooooooooooooong!*

Chamber, having improved her teleportation magic, blinked after entering the blue portal, and a new landscape unfolded before them.

*Poooooooooosh!*

The sound of crashing blue waves reached their ears. A familiar beach. The same coastline where Raon had dived every night to search for the White Blood Cult’s main base.

They had arrived at their destination before they could even take a proper breath.

“Hmph…”

“Th, this fast?”

“Is this a different kind of magic than the dimensional portal? Amazing…”

The swordsmen, sensing the same sensation, looked around, letting out amazed sighs.

“Prepare for

Raon ordered the swordsmen to prepare for combat, then walked towards the beach.

*Wooooooooooooong!*

On the sandy beach stood hundreds of mages, carefully drawing three different magic circles.

“Oh, you’re here…?”

Larian, who was personally inspecting the central magic circle, waved a trembling hand towards Raon. Judging by his dead eyes, he seemed to be in his “reclusive mage” mode.

“Is it alright to use magic here?”

Raon furrowed his brow, looking at the rough waves crashing against the shore.

“Y, yes, here…”

“Don’t worry. I’ve carefully set up a barrier to conceal our presence and

Evelyn, walking up from behind, answered for Larian.

“Right?”

She smiled brightly, wrapping her arms around Larian from behind. It seemed they had become closer after researching magic together for two months.

“Uh? Uh, yeah!”

Larian nodded with a deathly expression. It seemed he was mistaken. It was just Evelyn’s own perception.

“It’s fine now, but once we activate the magic, they’ll notice

Chamber warned, stating that the White Blood Cult leader and his blood demons were not fools.

“That’s why we only have one chance. We absolutely cannot make a

She exhaled heavily, emphasizing that they had to activate all three magic spells simultaneously while the White Blood Cult leader was off guard.

“So, the three of you will be in charge of each magic

Raon nodded, noticing that the centers of the three magic circles were empty.

“Right. You need to be at least Transcendent-level to draw magic over the White Blood Cult leader’s head, hidden in the unseen

Evelyn chuckled, explaining that she, Chamber, and Larian were the only ones capable of such a feat.

“But where is King Lecros?”

The ones facing the White Blood Cult leader today were the Lord of the Silent Sword and the Lord of the Magic Tower.

Chamber, who had to manage the teleportation magic after summoning the White Blood Cult, was puzzled by the absence of Lecros and Owen’s knights.

“He’s a bit late because he has some preparations to

Chamber waved her hand, assuring him not to worry.

“Now, the last thing we need to do is confirm the location of the White Blood Cult’s main base. Can you do it?”

She looked at Raon, emphasizing the need for final confirmation before activating the magic.

“I

Raon nodded and plunged his hand into the sea. He released a faint wisp of mana, and a seagull emerged from the surface.

“Kyaong!”

Even though it had only been a week, the seagull, Haerang, wagged its tail as if they hadn’t seen each other for a year, rubbing its head against Raon’s hand.

“Is that the spirit you saved?”

Chamber stroked Haerang’s back, finding it adorable.

“Th, that spirit! Sea spirits are extremely rare!”

Larian, consumed by research, scanned Haerang’s entire body with his reddened eyes.

“Is the white city we saw still at that location?”

“Kyaong!”

Haerang nodded, bumping its head against Raon’s forehead. A cool, watery sensation filled him, and he saw a vision of the White Blood Cult’s main base submerged at the same location he had seen a week ago.

“Yes. It’s still at the coordinates I

Raon nodded, confirming that the White Blood Cult’s location hadn’t changed.

“Good. No need for distractions

Chamber snapped her fingers, ready to begin.

“Prepare!”

At her command, the mages standing within the magic circles transformed. Their gazes were filled with determination, a desperate desire to succeed. Even the Zig Hart swordsmen gulped, sensing their unwavering resolve.

*Wooooooooooooong!*

Chamber opened a blue window in front of the sea, revealing a real-time view of the distant ocean. It seemed to be above the submergedWhite Blood Cult’s main base.

“Evelyn!”

Chamber, looking only at Raon, nodded towards Evelyn, who was holding her breath and staring at him.

“You start. Don’t make a

“I

Evelyn waved her hand, as if to assure her not to worry, and stood in the center of the first magic circle.

“Watch

She winked, as if to tell him to focus on her, and brought her hands together.

*Kugugugugugugu!*

Evelyn’s mana, bursting forth like a runaway beast, seeped into the circular magic circle, generating a magnificent purple wave.

“It worked!”

Hearing Evelyn’s words and looking at the screen Chamber had opened, they saw a giant jar, as large as a city, falling onto the blue sea.

“Larian!”

Chamber, urging him to start immediately, stretched out her hand towards Larian.

“I know!”

Larian threw off the robe that had been covering his entire body, brought his hands together, and began weaving a spell. He had instantly transformed from a reclusive mage to the Lord of the Magic Tower.

“Come on, you lot!”

With a roar of fury, he poured his mana onto the spell woven by the mages in the second magic circle.

*Wooooooooooooong!*

As Larian poured his mana, a giant six-pointed star magic circle unfolded beside the sea where the jar had fallen. Its size was magnificent, large enough to engulf the entire city.

“Now we just have to

Chamber, confirming the success of Evelyn and Larian’s magic, clasped her hands.

“Like a squid caught in a

She bit her lip, a cold smile playing on her lips.

“Mana? No, magic?”

The 10th Apostle raised his head, sensing the powerful wave of mana emanating from above the base.

“Who on earth…”

He trembled, unable to comprehend the sudden situation.

“It’s not magic directed at us. Something massive is falling from the

The 12th Apostle furrowed his brow, closing his eyes.

“No, that’s not all. There’s some kind of magic descending upon

He twisted his lips, sensing an attack.

“You were

The White Blood Cult leader, lowering her pipe, exhaled a puff of white smoke.

“It seems they’ve found our

She smiled, nodding in approval of the 10th Apostle.

“Hmph…”

The 12th Apostle frowned, looking at the 10th Apostle and the White Blood Cult leader.

“I apologize. I should have been more thorough…”

The 10th Apostle bowed his head, despite being praised, expressing his regret.

“I’ll do my best to prepare for the

“It’s alright. I’ve already

The White Blood Cult leader smiled faintly, gazing at the approaching magic circle.

“I’ve reinforced the mana resistance of the fog surrounding the base, and the base’s own shield is fully activated. Even if nine-class magic spells hit in succession, it won’t be a problem. And…”

She flipped her pipe, shaking off the ash.

“The Kraken protecting us is immune to offensive magic and aura. There’s nothing to worry

She assured them, stating that she had strengthened all defensive spells the moment she sensed the external mana.

“Still, there’s no need to stay in a place where our location is known. Tell the 1st Apostle. Have the Kraken move to the deep

She scoffed, dismissing the preparations made by the Five Emperors as useless.

The 10th Apostle and the 12th Apostle nodded and were about to head towards the 1st Apostle when…

*Kuuuuuuung!*

They heard a massive object crashing beside the White Blood Cult’s main base, causing the entire sea to tremble.

“A jar…?”

The White Blood Cult leader widened her eyes, staring at the jar, which was almost as big as the base itself.

‘Why a jar?’

She had assumed they would employ weapons capable of physical attacks, but she couldn’t fathom why they would simply drop a giant jar. She let out a disbelieving sigh.

‘Wait…’

The White Blood Cult leader hastily raised her gaze and slowly looked at the descending magic circle.

‘That’s not an offensive

If it were an offensive spell, it would have been absorbed by the fog. But this magic circle, as if it were harmless, was gently passing through the fog, enveloping the base and the Kraken beneath it.

“What inthe…”

The White Blood Cult leader swallowed, her eyes fixated on the intricate magic spells woven like a knitted fabric. She couldn’t understand what kind of magic it was, but a strange sense of unease crept up her spine.

“Move the Kraken! Now!”

She urged them to move the Kraken away, putting everything else aside.

“Yes! I’ll contact the 1st Apostle…”

“No! I’ll do it myself!”

The White Blood Cult leader was about to rush towards the control room where the 1st Apostle resided when…

*Kuuuuuuwaaaaang!*

Even though the order hadn’t reached him yet, the Kraken, acting on its own, began to rise and move towards the jar that had fallen to the right.

“What? Who gave the Kraken an order now?!”

The White Blood Cult leader ground her teeth, stomping her foot. Of course, no one knew the answer.

*Kugugugugugugu!*

The Kraken, ignoring the tilting and collapsing buildings of the base, began to push its long, massive tentacles into the jar, its eyes twisting in agony.

“The jar…?”

“Why is it going for the jar?!”

The 10th and 12th Apostles also gasped in shock at the Kraken’s sudden actions.

“Ugh!”

“The buildings are collapsing!”

“Help!”

Lower-ranking blood demons were crushed or trampled to death by the intense earthquake-like tremors.

“Le, Leader!”

The 1st Apostle, bursting out of the control room, gasped for breath.

“The Kraken is out of control! Even injecting your blood doesn’t make it obey! It’s acting on its own!”

He shook his head, reporting that the Kraken had become uncontrollable.

“Ha…”

The White Blood Cult leader lowered her gaze, staring at the magic circle enveloping the base and the Kraken.

‘Could it be a magic spell to enhance instincts?’

Octopuses, being cephalopods, have an instinct to insert themselves into round objects.

The Kraken, a primordial monster protecting the base, had instincts far stronger than those of modern octopuses. Thanks to its strong instincts, it had easily used camouflage, but she never imagined it would be used in this way.

“Immediately deactivate the spells around the base and open the dimensional portal!”

She had reinforced the fog’s defensive magic to shield the base from the previous spell, which prevented them from opening the dimensional portal immediately.

*Kugugugugugu!*

While the White Blood Cult leader was giving orders to her Apostles, the Kraken had already inserted all eight of its tentacles into the jar.

“I’ll kill that Kraken myself!”

As she ground her teeth and tried to leave the base, the jar containing the Kraken began to glow with countless blue spells, emanating from Chamber’s unique blue mana.

“Damn it!”

The White Blood Cult leader, seeing the jar shimmering with blue light, bit her lip until it bled.

“We’ve been tricked…”

*

*

*

*Kuuuuuuwaaaaang!*

A magnificent blue light flashed, and a giant jar, with the white city perched atop it, crashed onto the beach. The impact shook the earth, causing a massive tremor.

“Connect!”

At Larian’s command, the mages who had been operating the first and second magic circles chanted a new spell, their hands planted firmly on the ground.

*Chiaaaang!*

Small magic circles drawn by the mages released colorful chains, wrapping around the White Blood Cult’s main base.

*Kyaaaaaaaaang!*

The jar containing the Kraken shattered, and the White Blood Cult’s main base, pulled by hundreds of chains, began to be dragged towards the beach.

“Combine!”

Evelyn, with four fingers woven into a spell, snapped her fingers. Purple light descended, connecting the chains summoned by the mages, creating five bridges connecting the beach and the White Blood Cult’s main base.

*Taaaak!*

Evelyn, snapping her fingers, turned to Raon. She curled her red lips, as if to indicate that their task was complete.

“White Blood Cult summoned!”
