The Reincarnated Assassin is a Genius Swordsman - [Author: Writing Ant]

Chapter 70

'I now understand why the monsters are absentminded.'

Eden was letting them kill the monsters so that the trainees, including him, would return quickly after completing the mission.

'They have no intention of attacking us.'

It seemed Eden wasn't planning to show themselves, either in order to avoid Zieghart's attention or in preparation for the instructors or swordsmen that might have followed them.

'It must be an important item since they're going this far.'

The goblin king's magic stone must've been an extremely important item for Eden.

'Anyway, for now...'

Raon furrowed his brows while beheading the orc that was approaching him.

'I have no choice but to return without dealing with them.'

The moment he touched the magic stone that must exist in the mountain, every Eden member in the surrounding area was going to attack them at once, like a swarm of bees.

He might be able to survive, but the trainees and the villagers would certainly die. Therefore, it was best to avoid doing anything stupid-like poking a beehive.

The best course of action was to just kill the monsters and return, pretending he didn't notice anything.

"The monsters are running away! Chase them until the end!"

He raised his head, hearing Burren's energetic voice.

"Let's go. It will be over soon."

Raon gave Kanbar, who had regained his composure, a fake smile. His tongue felt slightly bitter, as if he had chewed on a tree's root.

The monster extermination had started in the daybreak and continued smoothly. They managed to reach the top of the mountain before the sun set.

"Kieee!"

Hearing the orc shaman's scream from where it was standing at the top of the mountain, the orcs, kobolds, and goblins came running at them. They looked like a swarm of green bees.

"This is the last!"

Burren pierced the sky, taking up his blood-covered sword.

"A rat can bite a cat if it is driven into a corner. Don't be careless until the end!"

"Ahhhh!"

Burren rushed out, surrounding himself with green aura, and the trainees kicked the ground with a war cry.

"Haa!"

Raon also ran ahead, leaving Kanbar behind, in order to slice the monsters. He moved in a way similar to the other trainees, lowering his sword skills.

'Keep watching.'

He had recognized the owner of the gaze. He was an Eden's scout called 'Red Eye Demon'. He possessed the scouting ability of the monster 'Search Eye', which was just a small floating eye that was the size of a sparrow.

"We are almost there!"

Burren shouted while cutting through the orc shaman's flame. The moment he rushed to the orc shaman, a gigantic sword fell from the sky.

Crash!

Along with a thunderous noise that shook the mountain, dust spread out at the same time.

Whoosh.

Once the dust faded, Martha-who was sticking the deflated orc shaman to the ground with her sword-could be seen.
