The Reincarnated Assassin Is a Genius Swordsman

Chapter 1234 The sun and moon rise above the underground great training ground where only dim lighting had existed. The sun and moon, which should not originally exist underground, blazed forth with gold and silver light even more brilliant than reality, as if to imprint their very existence. Raon rose to his feet, gripping the Divine Sword and Demonic Sword forged from sunlight and moonlight in both hands. His red eyes flashed gold as if influenced by Ten Thousand Flames Cultivation and Ring of Fire. "Sword Domain - Divine-Demonic Harmony." Glenn narrowed his eyes as he looked at the Divine Sword and Demonic Sword in Raon's grasp. "It's a Sword Domain worthy of being counted among the finest in Zieghart's long history. Both its power and endurance are excellent, so it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it an all-around Sword Domain. And it even has that final unpredictability." He nodded calmly as if he perfectly understood Raon's Divine-Demonic Harmony Sword Domain. "However, it won't mean much here." Glenn chuckled as he watched the heat and cold blazing from the Divine Sword and Demonic Sword. "That's right." Raon bit his lips as his hands holding the Divine Sword and Demonic Sword trembled slightly. 'I never thought additional pressure would be applied even to the enhanced Martial Prowess from operating a Sword Domain.' He had planned to use Divine-Demonic Harmony at full power to spar with Glenn, but as soon as he opened his Sword Domain and his Martial Prowess was enhanced, the pressure from the great training ground became much stronger as well. It seemed the pressure here was applied in real-time. "How unfortunate that nothing has changed despite opening your Sword Domain." Glenn waved the hand holding Heavenly Tremor as if teasing Raon. "It's fine." Raon shook his chin slightly. "I'll have to adapt anyway, so it's better to take the beating first." It wasn't something he said out of stubbornness. Since he had come to such a remarkable great training ground, it was better to experience as much as possible. "And the advantages of this Sword Domain aren't just power and endurance." Using the Sword Domain increased his affinity with both swords, greatly enhancing his proficiency in Sword Control. No matter how much his Martial Prowess weakened, it was still far better than not using it. "That's certainly true." Glenn nodded as if he had no choice but to acknowledge it. "Then come at me again." As he said to come in, he simultaneously brought down Heavenly Tremor. There was just a flash before his eyes, but Glenn's sword strike had already reached in front of his shoulder. "Kuk!" Raon kicked off the ground with his toes and retreated backward. After buying a moment of time, he brought down his Divine Sword to deflect Glenn's strike that was trying to cut the skin of his shoulder. Zzzzzzzing! Glenn's sword wasn't just fast. Even though he swung his Divine Sword with all his might, his strength was insufficient, and he was pushed back five steps. "Hmm..." The moment Raon raised his head while trembling the hand holding his Divine Sword, red lightning fell from above his head. Glenn seemed to have no intention of giving him any time to rest. "Huk!" Raon hastily drew in breath and thrust his Demonic Sword toward the falling lightning. The blue rippling Frost collided with the lightning, scattering purple sparks in all directions. Crackle! Raon stomped heavily on the ground where sparks were erupting and looked at Glenn. "You tell me to come in, but you're being unfair." He shook his chin, asking why Glenn said such a thing when he had no intention of giving him the first move. "I said it was real combat." Glenn shrugged as if that were obvious. "You can also use any method you're capable of." He spread both arms wide, telling him to do as he pleased. "Hmm..." Raon bit his lips slightly as he looked at Glenn, who seemed so relaxed. -Hooh! Wrath stroked his chin and let out an exclamation. -I never knew that old geezer had this side to him. I thought he always moved honorably and fairly. He smacked his lips, saying it was interesting. 'It's probably to improve my skills.' Glenn seemed to be deliberately using surprise attacks or unconventional attacks to give him various experiences. 'But there's something grandfather doesn't know well.' Raon grinned and slightly relaxed the strength in his hands holding the Divine Sword and Demonic Sword. 'That's my specialty.' He stamped the ground so heavily it made a thud. He stepped with the Supreme Harmony Step at extreme speed, incorporating the mysteries of phantom sword and variable sword. Moving his toes mysteriously, he rushed toward Glenn's left side. As if using a Clone technique, his body multiplied into five, and those five rushed toward Glenn from all directions, each taking different movements. "An application of Supreme Harmony Steps that I didn't know." Glenn let out an exclamation as he looked at the five Raons with surprise. "However, the completion is still lacking. It's clearly visible." He grinned and swung Heavenly Tremor with flashing Lightning Aura. It was confidence that he knew exactly where Raon was. Crackle! The Lightning Aura of Heavenly Tremor erased all five of Raon's clones charging at Glenn as if it were an eraser, then extended toward the real Raon who was rushing from behind. Zzzzzing! Raon, who was aiming for Glenn's back, couldn't avoid Heavenly Tremor digging in reverse and switched his Divine Sword's direction from attack to defense. "Ugh..." Raon bit his lips as he watched the Lightning Aura of Heavenly Tremor pushing in while erasing his Divine Sword's flames. "It's still immature, but if you develop it a bit more, it would be decent martial arts... Hmm?" Glenn was giving advice to Raon when he looked at his hands and widened his eyes. The moment Glenn realized something and slightly raised his eyes, the Demonic Sword that had left Raon's hand shot up from under his feet. Glenn retreated one step with superhuman reaction speed and kicked away the tip of the Demonic Sword that was bursting through the ground. The Demonic Sword spewed Silver Frost as if regretful for missing a good opportunity and came back to Raon's side. "Your spine tingled, didn't it?" Raon caught the Demonic Sword floating in the air as he looked at Glenn, who had retreated for the first time. "I know that footwork is crude too. But it can be used in this way as well." He shrugged, telling Glenn not to let his guard down. "I wondered why you were stamping the ground so roughly while rushing forward..." Glenn looked at the ground where Raon had stamped his feet and let out a hollow laugh as if dumbfounded. "It was to move the Demonic Sword into the ground without showing it." He lightly stroked his chin as if surprised by Raon's psychological warfare. "It was a strange move that even a Transcendent could fall for. I can definitely feel the experience of many real battles." Glenn smacked his lips with proud eyes, seemingly feeling that Raon's real combat experience was excellent beyond his years. "It's not over yet." Raon released the Divine Sword and Demonic Sword from both hands. The two swords shot up into the sky, emitting denser flames and cold than when held in his hands. The Divine Sword and Demonic Sword flew freely through the sky of the great training ground where red lightning flashed, like divine dragons soaring through the heavens. Raon watched the swimming of the Divine Sword and Demonic Sword and raised Ten Thousand Flames Cultivation and Glacier to their peak. "I'm still training it, but..." He raised his right hand in a sword gesture and spread his left hand wide while taking a deep breath. "Try facing four swords." Raon advanced toward Glenn with the Divine Sword and Demonic Sword crushing the red lightning and two hand-formed water swords raised. * * * Kwaaaang! Glenn blocked Raon's sword strikes that displayed transcendent destructive power while sighing inwardly. 'Terrifying.' Despite the pressure created by the First Patriarch's secluded cultivation training ground, Raon's Martial Prowess was strong beyond his imagination. A mediocre Transcendent wouldn't be able to properly block even one of Raon's swords and would have their neck fly off or their body itself burst. 'I never thought he would grow to this extent.' The Raon who killed the Archangel Raphael in one blow, the Raon who faced Derus Robert, and the Raon who returned to the family after cutting down Derus were all different. He had seen Raon fight and had fought alongside him, but he had never expected him to show such martial power and level as he did now. It was absurd, but his grandson really seemed to grow greatly with each battle he fought. 'He might really become the greatest of all time.' Considering Raon's tremendous growth potential, there was a possibility he could surpass himself and become the greatest of all time before even reaching middle age. 'And he can avoid heaven's pressure too.' Raon was also receiving support from the demon king he called his friend, so he didn't receive heaven's pressure directly like himself. Unlike himself, he would be able to ascend to higher realms without leaving the Continent. 'Enviable. No, it's not something to be envious of.' Glenn gently shook his head while lightly blocking the four swords Raon was deploying. 'Because it's all something that child accomplished.' In his childhood, Raon was insulted for having the worst talent for learning swordsmanship. It wasn't just that he couldn't become a proper Martial Artist, but he was even told he wouldn't live long. However, his grandson overcame his innate illness through his own will and effort, revealing his hidden talent. Honestly, it was something even he couldn't have done, so it was right to applaud rather than be envious. "Just as you said." Glenn raised his chin while simultaneously deflecting Raon's Divine Sword, Demonic Sword, and even the two water swords with Heavenly Tremor. "It's far from mature. You'd be better off fighting with just one sword." He snorted while easily pushing away the four-sword technique Raon was practicing. "Gradually..." Raon bit his lips as if feeling great pain from the shock created by Heavenly Tremor and raised his head. "It will get better." He spread his sword gesture again as if he wouldn't give up on the four-sword technique. "Your confidence is good." Glenn gestured for Raon to attack again while narrowing his eyes. 'What I can give Raon as a gift is...' Victory in the final battle with the Heavenly Demon. No matter how excellent Raon's growth rate was, it would be difficult for him to reach the Heavenly Demon within a year. On the promised day, defeating the Heavenly Demon and disappearing would be what he could do for his grandson who went from being called a dullard to a genius. "I'm coming." Noble sky and destructive lightning bolts extended from Raon's two hands, and the Divine Sword and Demonic Sword falling from the sky blazed with brilliant light as if burning their very lives. Rumble! It was his strongest move, simultaneously deploying Sky-Piercing Thunder's ultimate technique and the Divine-Demonic Harmony linking technique Invincible Azure-Red Sword. "It's certainly a powerful sword technique. However..." Glenn calmly shook his head as he watched Raon's sword strike that seemed to cover his entire field of vision. "The swordsmanship connection isn't properly linked." He raised Heavenly Tremor and split Raon's sword strike that hadn't achieved perfect harmony. Because he split the gap where Sky-Piercing Thunder and Invincible Azure-Red Sword were forming their connection, he was able to erase Raon's terrifying sword strike without exerting much force. "Huk..." Raon bent his waist and gasped roughly as if he had put everything into that last strike. "If it's like this, it won't be of much help to me." Glenn shook his chin as he looked at Raon's tired-looking face. "Raise the completion of all swordsmanship and movements. No matter how strong, a half-hearted sword can be pierced even with this small lightning." He created lightning smaller than a pinky nail above Heavenly Tremor's blade and frowned. "I understand." Raon chewed his lips repeatedly as if shocked by the difference that was greater than he had thought. 'Should I give him a bit more shock?' Actually, there was one secret to the pressure this great training ground created. He wanted to tell Raon about it to create an even bigger shock therapy. "Actually, there's a secret to this great training ground's pressure." Glenn approached Raon and raised Heavenly Tremor. "Everyone who enters this great training ground comes to possess the same Martial Prowess. That is..." He brushed off Heavenly Tremor, which didn't have a speck of dust, and curled up the corners of his mouth. "Right now, your and my strength are identical. It means you were defeated without being able to do anything to me despite having the same power." (E/N: Wouldn't that actually be a debuff to Raon then? Raon's main strength is his overpowered body and specs, not his technique or comprehension) Glenn lowered his gaze, thinking Raon's face would crumple even more. But his grandson's expression was completely different from his thoughts. "Is that really true?" Raon trembled his chin as if he had no idea, yet drew an arc with the corners of his mouth. "Then to be of help to grandfather..." He displayed an intensely chilling desire like an adventurer who found treasure with a single map and showed a clear smile. "I'll somehow keep up." Glenn felt a chill for the first time at his grandson's eyes filled with greed for the sword and his lips trembled. "Y-yes, do that..."
