The Reincarnated Assassin is a Genius Swordsman

Chapter 551

Raon narrowed his eyes while looking at Glenn’s back, which seemed narrow for some reason.

‘Is he asking me to buy that Perriton white wine for him? But why is he asking me?’

Glenn could easily acquire the Perriton Blanc, and even the Relic of the Ocean that Raon had difficulty getting his hands on.

Since Glenn drew a clear line between official and private matters, Raon couldn’t understand why he was hinting at him to buy some white wine for him.

You idiot!

Wrath clicked his tongue at his pathetic demeanor.

Do you still not understand why that geezer suddenly started talking about the white wine?

‘Do you know why he said that?’

Raon looked down on Wrath with his narrowed eyes.

Of course! There’s no way the King of Essence wouldn’t notice since he is even more human than you!

Wrath nodded and floated above Glenn’s head.

Which food goes along with the white wine?

‘It’s usually some fish cuisine.’

It didn’t have to be fish, but people often said that red wines pair well with meats while white wines complement fish.

That’s right!

Wrath clapped his hands loudly and declared that he got the right answer.

This geezer wants to eat some fish dishes!

‘......’

Raon’s eyes looked like he was gazing at something even more pitiful than the most pathetic thing in the world.

When you cover the tender salmon with sliced onions, top it with cream sauce, and take a bite…

Wrath smiled happily while covering his plump cheeks. He seemed to be thinking about the salmon dish he had in Aikar.

Bring the salmon right now! Huh? Why are you picking up the King of Essence?! Let him go!

Raon threw Wrath into the lake as he kept rambling and walked up to Glenn.

“I’ll acquire that wine.”

He still had no clue why Glenn brought up that wine, but he said he would acquire it because he seemed to want it.

“Hmph, I said something pointless.”

Glenn casually nodded. He looked like he had already forgotten about the wine.

“Turn around.”

“Yes.”

Since there was no way he would do anything bad and Raon couldn’t stop him anyway even if he did, he obediently turned around. He could feel Glenn’s hand touching the area between his shoulder blades.

“Stay still, keep your mouth closed.”

Raon was about to turn his head around when he heard Glenn’s voice.

“The physical combat art created by Perriton uses all mana circuits in the body. That’s why you have to have full knowledge of the human body.”

Glenn’s aura surged into him like a wave. Since the energy had the lightning attribute, it was stinging like he was being burned by fire.

“Explaining everything piece by piece by reading a book isn’t to my liking, so do your best to endure it.”

“......”

Raon couldn’t open his mouth because Glenn’s aura was piercing into his body. He simply stayed there with his head trembling.

Whir!

Glenn’s lightning energy dashed through the main mana circuits connected to his energy center and stimulated even the smallest mana circuits that weren’t fully developed yet.

Since his aura wasn’t moving too fast or too slow, it wasn’t exactly difficult to follow his lesson.

“The human body is like the universe. It’s for the same reason that a warrior’s body is often called a small universe.”

Raon had heard about it before. It was said that the human body had infinite potential and could even reach the realm where it transcends life and death.

“The energy center and the mana circuits are the core.”

Glenn rapidly moved his lightning energy as he spoke and stimulated six mana circuits branching from the energy center at the same time.

The stinging sensation of the lightning energy reached all the way to his fingertips before it returned to the energy center to enlighten him about the flow of the Perriton Physical Combat Art.

“Remember the path and the way I controlled the lightning energy just now. If you want to surpass the Grandmaster’s realm and reach even higher, the flow you felt just now is going to be extremely helpful to you.”

Raon was fully focused on feeling the movement of the lightning energy, unable to even thank him.

Whir!

Glenn retrieved his lightning energy only after showing him the simultaneous maneuvering of the six main mana circuits connected to the energy center two whole times.

“Haa…”

Raon exhaled roughly and sank to the ground. His body felt as heavy as if he were soaked in water, and he was drenched in sweat, probably because of the extreme focus he had.

‘This is so painful I feel like I’m going to die. But I’ve learned a lot from it.’

The Perriton Physical Combat Art wasn’t the only thing Glenn had taught him. He also allowed him to learn the location of his small mana circuits and the movement of his main mana circuits.

Thanks to that, he could start to guess how to connect Sylvia’s broken mana circuits.

“Thank you.”

Raon stood up while putting together his faltering legs and bowed at Glenn.

“I simply did what had to be done.”

Glenn casually shook his hand, saying that it wasn’t a big deal.

“Keep training and develop your mana circuits all around your body to become even more broad and straight. If you can achieve that, you shall be able to advance to an even broader realm.”

He put his hand in his clothes and threw a booklet. It was about the Perriton Physical Combat Art which Raon had already learned the utilization of.

“Keep up the good work.”

Glenn turned around without hesitation and disappeared into the darkness of the night.

“......”

Raon stayed there for a long time without raising his head until Glenn completely disappeared.

* * *

“Argh!”

Rimmer slammed the ground as he watched Glenn return to the main building.

“Why is he even doing that?! He should’ve just told him that he wanted to have a drink together! Why is it so difficult for him?!”

He clutched his head with dirty hands, saying that he couldn’t understand Glenn at all.

“It can’t be helped.” Sheryl briefly clicked her tongue while leaning against a boulder. “The head of house is still contemplating whether it’s the correct thing to do or not for him to approach Sylvia and Raon.”

“I know that, but he’s progressing way too slowly. I’m going to freaking die before anything happens at this rate!”

Rimmer closed his eyes tightly and shook his head.

“Haa…”

Sheryl sighed. She seemed to agree that their relationship wasn’t progressing too well.

“Wait, that Raon is also strange! He is extremely quick to understand everything, but why does he become blind every time he is in front of the head of house?! Why else do you think he started talking about the wine? It’s obviously because he wanted to drink it with you!”

Rimmer violently ground his teeth while watching Raon, who still had his head lowered.

“Don’t blame Raon.” Sheryl smacked the back of Rimmer’s head and shook her head. “The head of house is the noble and unreachable sky for Raon. There’s no way he would think that the sky would be shy in front of him.”

“Ah, the lines. The lines aren’t being connected. I’m so frustrated I’m going to die!” Rimmer shouted, pounding his chest in frustration.

“Huhuhu, we shouldn’t need to worry about it so much.” Roenn smiled gently while looking at Raon’s eyes as he slowly raised his head. “Because the lines seemed to have reached each other slightly.”

* * *

One month later.

Raon helped Sylvia’s stamina training from early in the morning until the afternoon and focused on learning the Perriton Physical Combat Art at night.

He wasn’t called the Medical Saint for no reason, as he became capable of controlling even the smallest movement of his aura as he continued to learn Perriton Physical Combat Art.

It almost felt like he had become an artist, drawing on a leaf with a small branch.

Since Sylvia’s condition had improved and he got used to the Perriton Physical Combat Art, he decided to connect her mana circuits to her energy center.

Raon walked up to Rimmer and the Gambling Monster, who were standing in front of the annex building, and bowed at them.

“I’ll leave it to you.”

“Don’t worry.”

The Gambling Monster nodded kindly, telling him to focus on the task.

“Relax your shoulders. Things won’t work out if you’re too tense.”

Rimmer massaged his shoulders with the same smile as always. Raon was a bit relieved at seeing them.

“Thank you.”

Raon bowed at the Gambling Monster and Rimmer before he went into the annex building.

“Young master.”

“Please take care of the madam.”

The maids were showing him calm expressions while hiding their trembling hands. They seemed to be trying to avoid putting pressure on him.

“Vice division leader! Good luck!”

“Everything will be fine!”

Yua energetically raised her hand, and Yulius clenched his fist.

“......”

Judiel was acting composed, but her eyes were reflecting her nervousness as she lowered her head.

“I’ll bring back good news. Just prepare the food for us.”

Raon smiled at the maids and entered Sylvia’s room.

He could have chosen a safer location, but since Sylvia felt most relaxed in her room, he decided it was best to do it there.

“Raon.”

Sylvia turned around wearing a black martial outfit. Her face looked like she was feeling at ease.

“Aren’t you nervous?”

“Why would I be nervous when you are doing this for me?”

Sylvia smiled brightly, saying that she trusted her son.

“It’s fine even if it goes wrong. Don’t strain yourself.”

“That’s not going to happen.”

Raon clenched his hand and walked up to Sylvia.

Don’t worry! The King of Essence will take care of it if any problems occur!

Wrath cleared his throat while patting Sylvia’s shoulder even though she couldn’t even see him.

‘Yeah, I’ll be counting on you. I’ll let you eat anything you want after this is done.’

Who do you take the King of Essence for?! He doesn’t think about food at a time like this!

He glared at him sideways, saying that it wasn’t necessary.

‘I’m sorry, I went too far…’

By the way, you can find salmon, right?

‘I knew it.’

Raon chuckled hollowly. He was feeling a bit more relaxed thanks to Wrath talking nonsense.

His hand wasn’t shaking anymore as he took out the artificial energy center and the Ocean Soul’s stem from his subspace pocket.

Whap!

The dazzling light radiating from the artificial energy center seeped into the Ocean Soul’s stem to create a beautiful luminance.

“What is this…?”

Sylvia tilted her head while looking at the Ocean Soul’s stem, which was glowing blue.

“It’s the Ocean Soul’s stem. It’s highly effective at revitalizing the energy center and the mana circuits, as well as getting rid of the impurities.”

Unlike the Ocean Soul’s leaves, he only had one stem. However, it was extremely effective at purifying the body. The stem was actually the reason he thought he would be able to revive Sylvia’s mana circuits.

“Are you sure you should be using such a precious thing on me…?”

Sylvia’s hands didn’t even dare touch the stem. They simply trembled.

“You just need to become a person befitting the stem in addition to the artificial energy center.”

Raon placed the Ocean Soul’s stem and the artificial energy center in Sylvia’s hand with a grin on his face.

“Seriously…”

“Swallow them both at once. It won’t be that hard.”

“Alright.”

Sylvia put the artificial energy center and the Ocean Soul’s stem in her mouth at the same time. They easily went down her throat, as if they melted down as soon as they touched her tongue.

The Ocean Soul was going to flow like blood and revive her hardened mana circuits while the artificial energy center was going to descend until it reached the energy center’s original location on its own.

“Ack…”

Sylvia frowned. She seemed to be feeling some pain from the artificial energy center’s mana.

“I’ll get started right away.”

Since it was obvious her pain was only going to get worse if he delayed any longer, Raon immediately signaled the start and raised his hand.

“Yes.”

Sylvia turned around while forcing herself to smile. She closed her eyes without saying anything, most likely because she didn’t want to pressure him.

“Haa…”

Raon slowly caught his breath and formed his aura into a soft thread to shove it into Sylvia’s body.

The hardness felt like he was piercing into frozen ground. Her mana circuits were completely blocked because she hadn’t used any aura in over twenty years.

‘But I still need to go in.’

He sharpened the edge of the aura like a blade to stab the impurities filling her mana circuits and forced his way in.

Sylvia’s shoulders were shaking from the pain, but she endured it with her lips tightly closed.

Whap!

Raon trusted Sylvia’s patience and spread his aura throughout her mana circuits.

‘The Ocean Soul’s energy is moving.’

The high-purity mana from the Ocean Soul’s stem was bringing life to the hardened mana circuits. He needed to maximize that energy in order to connect the mana circuits to the energy center.

Raon surrounded the Ocean Soul’s energy with his aura as it kept moving on its own.

He stopped it from wasting any more vitality and spread the life throughout the hardened mana circuits with the Ocean Soul’s power.

Vrrrrmm!

Just like a withered sprout raising its head after feeding upon the morning dew, the energy of nature dwelling in the Ocean Soul’s stem softened the mana circuits.

‘It shouldn’t end with softening. I also need to break through the impurities.’

There were two issues with Sylvia’s mana circuits.

The hardness and the impurities were the problems, and it was impossible to connect her mana circuits to the energy center unless both issues were solved.

‘I’m confident in this one.’

Since he had already broken through all nine strands of the Curse of Frost, he could easily break through the impurities blocking the mana circuits.

Whap.

He heated the impurities inside her mana circuits with the Ten Thousand Flames Cultivation’s heat before he carved a path with the sharpened coldness of Glacier.

As the vitality from the Ocean Soul’s stem, heat from the Ten Thousand Flames Cultivation, and coldness from Glacier continued to do their jobs, Raon could feel the large amount of impurities starting to leave Sylvia’s body.

‘A bit slower.’

Being hasty could cause an accident. Raon only increased his focus even further, focusing on carving a path in Sylvia’s mana circuits.

Cring!

Just like snowballs piled up and hardened during the entire winter melted under the spring sunlight, pure energy appeared inside Sylvia’s body.

Raon finally exhaled the breath he’d been holding back after he discharged all of the impurities through her pores.

‘Haa…’

It took a significant amount of time, but he managed to get rid of all the impurities in her main mana circuits thanks to how well she endured it. The only task left to do was to connect her mana circuits to the energy center.

‘Everything will be in vain if I fail to do this.’

If he couldn’t properly connect her mana circuits to the energy center, all the efforts he’d made so far would be in vain. He increased his focus even more than during a life-and-death battle and controlled the Ten Thousand Flames Cultivation and Glacier.

‘I need to connect the six mana circuits all at once.’

Six mana circuits were connected to an energy center. It was necessary to connect those six at the same time in order to spread the artificial energy center’s mana equally throughout Sylvia’s body.

Raon withdrew the Ten Thousand Flames Cultivation’s heat and covered Sylvia’s mana circuits with only Glacier.

‘This should be the right thing to do.’

Since Kaibar was a blue dragon, its mana was deeply imbued with the water attribute. Guiding it with Glacier was the best course of action in order to make the best use of it.

Whir!

Raon controlled Glacier’s coldness and moved the six mana circuits at the same time. He used the aura control he’d learned from the Perriton Physical Combat Arts to control his aura even more carefully.

‘I’m nervous.’

He’d practiced a lot with his own body, but his heart was pounding uncontrollably because he was about to use it on Sylvia’s body. Even his aura control started to waver as a result.

‘Focus. This is the only chance we’ve got.’

Raon bit his lip as he tightened his grip and focused his aura. It wasn’t a good method, but he had no other choice.

Feeling the tension poking at his heart like a spike, he started to move the six mana circuits at the same time and suddenly remembered the aura control that Glenn had taught him a month ago.

The movement of the aura that he’d guided with lightning energy was extremely similar to connecting the mana circuits to the energy center that he was about to perform.

‘I see. I finally understand.’

The reason Glenn suddenly visited him to teach him the Perriton Physical Combat Arts wasn’t to compensate him for Balder’s misconduct. It was advice from a father who cared for his daughter. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

‘He’s been watching.’

Raon had thought he didn’t really care about Sylvia, but that wasn’t the case. He might be regretting what he’d done in the past while staying far away from her.

Once he realized Glenn’s advice was with him, the tension faded away and the stiff movement of his aura was revived.

Whir!

Raon fluently moved Glacier’s coldness to guide Sylvia’s mana circuits toward the artificial energy center.

While considering Glenn’s advice, the knowledge from the Perriton Physical Combat Arts, and Sylvia’s characteristics, he connected the six mana circuits to the best spots on the artificial energy center and unleashed an intense coldness.

Just like welding an iron, he used the coldness to meticulously carve the passage connecting Sylvia’s energy center to her mana circuits.

Wham!

A huge explosion occurred inside Sylvia’s body the moment the artificial energy center and the mana circuits were perfectly connected.

The huge amount of mana inside the artificial energy center started to drive away all of the remaining impurities inside the mana circuits like a tidal wave.

Whap!

Like the darkness fading away from the dawn of the rising sun, the huge yet pure mana even drove away Glacier’s coldness and started to stand on its own.

Just like a sprout breaking through the hard ground, a profound flow was awakened inside Sylvia’s body.

“Haa.”

Raon took his hands off Sylvia’s back and opened his eyes.

Sylvia was floating about a hand’s breadth from the floor, breathing in nature's energy.

Rumble!

The entire annex building trembled as the huge amount of mana repeatedly condensed and dispersed, creating some sort of blue fog above her head before it was absorbed into her nose.

Whoosh!

Sylvia slowly opened her eyes after she landed on the ground. The blue aura that had never been seen before was gleaming in her eyes.

“Ah…”

Sylvia’s body tilted backward, seemingly exhausted.

“Mother.”

Raon caught her body. He smiled while meeting her trembling eyes.

“Welcome back.”
