The Deadly Assassin Robin

Chapter 1080 The One Who Can Slay Drakebane

Dawn had yet to break.

News of the Rivers family’s annihilation had already spread like wildfire.

In an instant, it sent shockwaves through the martial world of Sakurania.

Soon after, the impact rippled across the entire World of Darkness at an astonishing speed.

The Divine Drakebane, who had remained silent for three long years, once again sent tremors through the World of Darkness.

A few days earlier, the major sects had already received word and were anticipating the inevitable retaliation from Divine Drakebane.

Yet in just two short days, this bloodthirsty god of slaughter had once again recreated the terrifying legend of obliterating the Phoenix Vanguard.

Two of the most prominent families in Sakurania were brought to ruin under Drakebane’s hand in only two days.

Numerous top–tier experts were also slain without exception.

The World of Darkness fell into a collective silence.

Not a single sect dared to make any public statement regarding the matter.

Those sects and individuals that had been named by Drakebane had already begun secretly forming -alliances, hoping to band together for protection.

However, all communication remained discreet, as no one dared to make any remarks that could be perceived as provocative.

Unlike the silent World of Darkness, the martial community of Sakurania was in an uproar.

Drakebane’s brutal slaughter had long surpassed the realm of mere vengeance–it was now a blatant challenge against the entire martial world of the Sakurania.

The Rivers family was one of the dominant forces in Sakurania’s gray zones.

Their industries and capital accounted for nearly half of Sakurania’s total commercial value.

For over a hundred years, the Rivers and Clerys families built their legacies, cultivating tens of thousands of disciples and followers.

Many of these individuals held significant influence in Sakurania’s political and elite circles.

The swordsmanship of the Northern Star Sect was considered a pinnacle existence in the martial world of Sakurania and even across the entire World of Darkness.

The power of these three forces was far beyond what the ordinary citizens of Sakurania could comprehend.

The Rivers family held immense power, possessing hundreds of elite experts and controlling two–thirds of Sakurania’s top martial artists.

They also boasted formidable figures such as Gauthier, Kurtis, Juan, and numerous other supreme experts from the Northern Star Sect.

And yet, in such a short time, every last one of them had perished at the hands of Drakebane.

The magnitude of this event was something the martial world of Sakurania simply could not bear.

With this act of vengeance, the Divine Drakebane had swept away over a thousand top–tier experts. In an instant, Sakurania’s martial strength was reduced by more than half.

At the same time, inside the Crystalwind Sect center, the sect leader, Reynard Langstaff, sat cross–legged at the center.

“This Drakebane is too arrogant! Vengeance is one thing, but why involve the innocent? By mercilessly trampling over the Clery family, the Rivers family, and the Northern Star Sect, he is openly humiliating the martial world of Sakurania!”

Nearly a hundred disciples knelt in neat rows within the center, all nodding in solemn agreement.

Among these disciples were the sons and heirs of powerful clans, the descendants of high–ranking officials, and prominent figures from various circles.

Reynard was ranked among the nine supreme masters of the Sakurania Martial Arts Ranking.

A grandmaster of the Crystalwind Sect.

Thirty years ago, when Reynard first emerged in the martial world, he had relied on his near–supernatural swordsmanship to challenge Elijah, the then–head of the Northern Star Sect, in a legendary duel atop Mount Fuoco.

The two battled for an entire day and night, evenly matched.

It was only by the afternoon of the second day that Reynard ultimately lost by the narrowest of margins.

At that time, Elijah had already held the top spot on the Sakurania Martial Arts Ranking for 30 years, his position unshaken.

Meanwhile, Reynard was an unknown newcomer, daring to challenge the number one martial artist upon his debut.

Though he was defeated, he became famous overnight–a loss that was still a mark of great honor.

Elijah, impressed by his talent, sought to take him as a disciple.

However, Reynard refused without hesitation and instead founded the Crystalwind Sect.

He then proceeded to challenge all nine supreme masters of the ranking, one by one.

Out of nine battles, he emerged victorious in six.

The three he lost were by the slimmest of margins.

From then on, he rose to become a respected power in Sakurania’s martial world, carving out his own sphere of influence.

Faced with his master’s fury, the gathered disciples wore serious expressions.

“There are rumors that Drakebane wields an ancient artifact of legend, a weapon of unfathomable power. Otherwise, how could he single–handedly annihilate two great families and the Northern Star Sect in such a short time?”

“Footage of his battle against the Folkers and Master Lysaght has surfaced, yet that so–called ancient artifact did not seem to play a decisive role.”

“In my view, for Drakebane to carry out such a large–scale slaughter, his own martial prowess must be immeasurable.”

“From what I observed in the footage, his speed and strength are beyond anything we can contend with!”

A young noble from a wealthy family spoke with a mysterious air, “In my opinion, Drakebane may have the backing of Draconia’s special forces. As far as I know, he once served as the commander–in–chief of Draconia’s Dragon Soul.”

Reynard shook his head. “Before coming to Sakurania, Drakebane had already resigned from all military positions in Draconia. He also severed all ties with Draconia’s Seven Great Royal Houses and the Dragon Palace. Because of his sister’s situation, he even had a violent confrontation with the grandson of Lord Westeria. The force supporting him is not Draconia’s military, but the Dark Web Assassin Organization- the largest assassin organization in the World of Darkness!”

At these words, the disciples were left speechless.

A man like Divine Drakebane, already capable of shaking the entire World of Darkness alone, now had 3,000 elite assassins from the Dark Web at his beck and call, along with access to the world’s most sophisticated intelligence network.

Even if Sakurania’s entire Self–Defense Force were mobilized, they would likely be powerless against him.

“Master Langstaff, forgive us for intruding!”

Reynard looked up, and the sight of the newcomers made his eyes gleam.

Entering the center was a group of renowned figures–Roderick Meskill, the sword grandmaster of the Ironwood Sect of Sakurania, Keaton Mercer, the leader of the Mercer Sect, and Gardner Sandoval, the grandmaster of the Celestial Blade Sect.

This group alone represented more than half of the top–tier grandmasters in Sakurania’s martial world.

Reynard immediately welcomed them to their seats.

Roderick’s voice was cold, “Master Langstaff, we are all here because of Drakebane! That man is too brazen! What he has done in the past two days is nothing short of declaring that Sakurania has no worthy warriors left! The Clery and Rivers families were wiped out in an instant. We cannot stand by and do nothing!”

Keaton’s expression was grave. “Divine Drakebane once single–handedly annihilated the Phoenix Vanguard, and not long ago, he crushed the Spartine Warrior. He is a force beyond reason! Three years a he slaughtered his way across the entire World of Darkness, undefeated. They say he wields an ancient artifact. Even if we join forces, we may not be able to kill him.”

Gardner gritted his teeth. “I refuse to believe that even if all of Sakurania’s top warriors stand together, we would still be powerless against him!”

Roderick chuckled. “Master Sandoval, do you think we are stronger than the top warriors of the Phoenix Vanguard? Six months ago, Drakebane crushed the Phoenix Vanguard a second time. Their mightiest

warriors, including Drogo, were wiped out in less than two hours. If we join forces, we would simply become the next Rivers family and Northern Star Sect.

Reynard paced for a moment before suddenly turning. “Gentlemen, I have thought of someone! This man can definitely slay Drakebane and restore honor to Sakurania’s martial world!”

Keaton leaped up. “Yes! I have thought of the same man! Master, you mean the grandmaster of the Northern Star Sect, Juan’s master, Elijah Denver?”

“Exactly!” Reynard’s eyes gleamed. “If Master Elijah takes the field, he will surely turn the tide!”
