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

Chapter 78

The blue sword piercing his chest shattered with a clank.

"Keuh!"

Raon was sent flying, coughing up blood.

"You were too weak. The difference in power between us isn't something you can make up for with that kind of surprise attack."

The blade thrust into the Blood Raving Demon's chest came out like a pebble stuck in the mud.

'His muscles stopped it...'

Raon bit his blood-stained lip. The Blood Raving Demon had stopped his attack by enhancing his skin and muscles.

It was a method befitting a monster that had reached the level of a master, one that could control his entire body as he wanted.

"Gasp!"

Raon stepped backwards and looked at Burren, Runaan, Martha, and the other remaining trainees.

"Th-the plan is over. Run, everyone!"

"R-Raon?"

"Hey, you..."

"We can't win."

There was no way they could win, no matter what they did in their current state. Since the plan had failed, the fight was over. All that was left to do was run away.

"I command you as the top trainee. Run away with the villagers! The house's reinforcement that Krein requested is coming. Run to the west!"

"Raon."

"I-I'll also..."

"Burren Zieghart!"

Raon shouted Burren's name, who was about to stand up with trembling lips.

"Is dying in vain right here the Zieghart's way you told me about before? If that's the case, then fight alongside me here. If not, then do what you must!"

"I-I..."

Burren bit his lip. The consideration was long, but the decision was short.

"We're retreating. Everyone, back off! Focus on running away!"

He ended up tearing his lip, turning around to run towards the village. The trainees shed tears and ran away, following Burren.

"Ah..."

Raon, who was coughing up blood while grabbing his arm, was reflected in Runaan's purple eyes.

"Aaaaaaaah!"

As she was about to dash at the Blood Raving Demon while screaming, Martha struck her neck.

With a thud, Runaan lost consciousness and fell on the ground.

"......"

Martha carried her on her back and looked at Raon. She was asking him if there really was no way.

Thud!

As soon as Raon nodded, she turned around and ran in the direction Burren went.

"...Thank you."

Raon smiled faintly. He was glad they were able to understand.

Wham!

The Blood Raving Demon pulled the sword stuck on his chest out completely. Blood was flowing out, but it soon stopped and the wound started to close. It was the effect of ogre's stamina and regeneration.

'Damn it.'

Raon bit his lip. The Bleeding Curse was in effect, but it was completely pointless in that situation. Ten percent was far from enough to allow him to win as he wouldn't be able to win with a 50% weakening effect.
