The Deadly Assassin Robin Novel

Only those who reached their level of understanding and power could truly comprehend its significance .

Thirty years ago , after a scandal and a vile conspiracy , Elijah had severed all ties with the mortal world , retreating to Blossom Summit .

His departure left behind a world puzzled by his seeming disgrace , while the once glorious Denvers bloodline faded away .

In Elijahs era , Sakuranian Martial Arts triumphed in the World of Darkness .

His departure dimmed its brilliance .

As Gardner once said , without Elijah , Sakuranian Martial Arts would always be second rate , never matching the Pinnacle of Martial Arts .

Despite the scandals , no one could dismiss Elijahs unmatched swordsmanship .

Elijah had crafted an unparalleled era of excellence in Sakuranian Martial Arts .

Youve arrived .

Elijahs faint , distant voice seemed to transcend time and space .

Reynard Langstaff from the Crystalwind Sect , Keaton Mercer from the Mercer Sect , Gardner Sandoval from the Celestial Blade Sect … total of 20 leaders of the Sakuranian Martial Arts World knelt before Master Elijah .

Master Elijah , its been too long ! Reynard bowed deeply .

Master Elijah , we are deeply ashamed of what happened 30 years ago .

It was the base nature of the Sakuranian Martial Arts and the people of Sakurania that brought you shame ! The Emperor has decreed to restore your honor nationwide , begging your forgiveness for that dark time .

Elijah took a deep breath .

What happened 30 years ago ? I have long forgotten it .

Twenty Grandmasters of Sakuranian Martial Arts exchanged glances .

Indeed , what did worldly praise or censure matter to a Sword Saint like Elijah ? Gardner smiled bitterly.

Master Elijah speaks the truth ! The world believed that you : ft in disheartenment and hid at Mount Fuoco .

But that was never the case ! If Master Elijah wished to clear his name , he could have easily decapitated all those who conspired against him .

But Master Elijah simply chose not to .

What is it that you need from me ? Elijah slowly opened his eyes , gazing at the once proud Grandmasters of the Sakuranian Martial Arts World now humbled with a detached air .

Elijah asked coldly , Is the Sakuranian Martial Arts World facing a grave challenge ? 214 10:19 Sun , 16 Mar Four years ago , a Divine level figure from the World of Darkness emerged .

His name is Drakebane .

He arrived in Sunria three days ago , killed Master Gauthier , and destroyed the Clerys family .

Kurtin and Bastien Folker fell to him in less than two minutes at the Sunria Martial Arts Hall .

Last night , the Rivers family and the Northern Star Sect were annihilated by Drakebane and Dark Web Assassin .

These actions have shocked the Sakuranian Martial Arts World .

Since its inception , the Sakuranian Martial Arts World has never endured such humiliation .

We know we are no match for Drakebane .

The entire Sakuranian Martial Arts World believes that only Master Elijah can defeat him .

Elijah nodded slightly .

There is no hatred without reason in this world .

Divine Drakebane came to Sakurania because the Clerys , the Rivers , and Juan slaughtered the Dragon Lords family for their own gain .

Thirty five innocent lives were lost because of them .

Such sins cannot go unpunished .

This world is always fair .

Given enough time , all debts are settled .

Very well , I will duel Divine Drakebane tomorrow afternoon .

Elijah stood up slowly , looking up at the distant sky .

My appearance is not to restore the honor of Sakuranian Martial Arts , but to fulfill a century old promise with the Dragon Lord .

I have waited for this man at Mount Fuoco for 30 years .

After my battle with Drakebane , everything will return to peace .

But I have one condition .

My participation in this duel , regardless of the outcome , means that no one should seek further conflict with Drakebane .

Inform Sakuranias leadership not to act impulsively , or they will face disaster .

This worlds justice lies in its cycles .

What was taken must be repaid .

This is Heav Will .

You may announce now that at noon tomorrow , Drakebane is invited to Mount Fuoco for a duel .

Reynard and the others were overjoyed .

Master Elijah , by fighting for Sakuranian Martial Arts , we will immediately ask the Emperor to restore your honor nationwide .

Elijah chuckled .

Theres no need for that ! Restoring my honor means nothing to me .

I have two letters here .

Please ensure they are delivered to my granddaughter Eira and to Drakebane before sunset .

10:19 Sun , 16 Mar The Sword Saint Elijah of Sakuranian Martial Arts , silent for 30 years , has challenged Drakebane to a duel at Mount Fuoco tomorrow at noon .
