Chapter 668
The infamous leader of the assassins known as the Shadows, Raon, had lived his entire life as a dog on a leash.
However, through a twist of fate, he obtained a new life—as the grandson of Glenn Zieghart, the Destructive King of the North!
He prepares to use the Ring of Fire he still possesses as an infant to begin cultivating when he’s diagnosed with the Curse of Frost.
With the odds stacked against him, will he be able to finally stand on his own feet and live life by his own will, to become the strongest swordsman on the continent?
“I will slay anyone standing in my way of revenge…even if it is a god.”
Raon Zieghart
In his previous life, Raon was an assassin renowned for his skills and ruthlessness, meeting an untimely end that led to his reincarnation. As Raon Zieghart, he inherits a legacy of strength but is initially underestimated by his family and peers due to the peculiar circumstances of his birth and his seemingly mediocre magical affinity.
Prologue
I am going to die.
The cool night breeze, the light from the half moon peeking out, and my senses from having lived an assassin all whispered the same words.
I shall soon die.
I looked around at my surroundings.
There were many paths in the garden, between the shrubs that looked as soft as wool.
But there was no path to life. There was only the path that reeked of death.
“Raon.”
I raised my head upon hearing a voice, one that weighed heavily on my heart. A middle-aged man with what looked like white frost combed into long silvery hair stepped into view.
It was him.
Derus Robert.
Like a morass of death, the enormous garden billowed death into the air due to the presence of a single man—the head of House Robert.
“Yes.”
I swallowed hard and opened my mouth.
“You have shown a competence that befits your title as the leader of the Shadows. The family has grown even faster thanks to you moving behind the scenes.”
“I merely did my job.”
I did not pretend to be happy or otherwise. I bowed my head like an emotionless wooden doll.
“But Raon…”
He began softly.
“Do you think that a Shadow needs freedom?”
Derus reached out his hand. His shadow extended its hand across the ground as well.
“It is enough for a Shadow to follow its master’s orders. Thoughts, emotions, feelings are unnecessary.”
“That is correct.”
“Why did you act on your own, even though you knew that?”
Derus’ voice sharpened, becoming cold, and tightened around my heart.
“And you even broke your indoctrination.”
Goosebumps formed along my spine. I bit down on my tongue to hide my surprise.
What?
I had not spoken or acted differently than before, and I had not the slightest idea how he found out that the indoctrination had lost its effect.
