The Reincarnated Assassin Is a Genius Swordsman

Chapter 1270 "Grrruuk!" Death Sword Spirit bowed her head while spitting up red blood from inside her helmet. "How in the world..." She glared with red pupils at the Demonic Sword that had pierced through her chest, as if she still couldn't believe she had been struck. "The reason is simple." Raon met Death Sword Spirit's confused gaze and shook his chin slightly. "Because I was stronger than you." It wasn't something said just to mock Death Sword Spirit. His swordsmanship was truly faster, stronger, more varied, and more harmonious than Death Sword Spirit's swordsmanship. Death Sword Spirit was certainly one of the strongest beings that could be counted on one hand in this continent, but she was no match for him who had undergone secluded cultivation with Glenn. "Uuu..." Death Sword Spirit couldn't refute, perhaps aware that her martial prowess had been overwhelmed, and just bit her lips deeply. "Damn it!" She seemed to feel greater pain from her swordsmanship being overwhelmed than from the Demonic Sword piercing her chest. "Speak." Raon twisted the Demonic Sword stuck in Death Sword Spirit's chest and cast a quiet gaze. "Where is the Heavenly Demon?" He could have killed Death Sword Spirit right away, but since he liked how she fought honorably without any tricks, he wanted to hear the Heavenly Demon's location from her. "Huuu..." Death Sword Spirit looked at the Demonic Sword stuck in her chest and exhaled a breath filled with cold energy. It meant the Demonic Sword's cold energy had already invaded her body. "You're stronger than I had heard." Death Sword Spirit nodded heavily as if acknowledging this. "The Heavenly Demon said I was at a similar level to you. It's the first time I've seen his judgment be wrong." She let out a bitter laugh, saying Raon's martial prowess far exceeded the Heavenly Demon's expectations. "Because time has passed since the Heavenly Demon saw me." Raon said it was natural while gesturing with the hand holding his Divine Sword. "No, usually that's not possible. You're just a special human being. Sword Emperor Raon Zieghart." Death Sword Spirit sighed as if acknowledging defeat and lowered the hand holding her black sword. "The Heavenly Demon is now..." She paused for a moment, then looked at the Demonic Sword stuck in her chest and opened her mouth again. "In Cameloon." Death Sword Spirit said the Heavenly Demon was in Cameloon while frowning. "Cameloon...?" Raon's eyes widened upon hearing Death Sword Spirit's words. "The trading city Cameloon? You mean the place where we opened Eden's back door and came out?" Because he heard such unbelievable words, strength unconsciously entered the hand holding the Demonic Sword. "Krruk..." Death Sword Spirit nodded while biting her lips at the pain the Demonic Sword was causing. "That's right. The Heavenly Demon is in Cameloon where you opened the back door and entered. He said he would be watching humans from there." She showed a more serious gaze than when fighting, as if it wasn't a lie. "As you would know, when one reaches the Heavenly Demon's level, the enlightenment gained by moving one's body directly is extremely minimal. He seems to want to understand all things through humans." Death Sword Spirit told him what the Heavenly Demon sought to become stronger through, even without being asked. As he had felt initially, she didn't seem to regard the Heavenly Demon very favorably. "Th, the Heavenly Demon is in Cameloon? That's impossible..." Burren shook his head vigorously, saying he couldn't believe it. "R, right! If the Heavenly Demon was in Cameloon, there's no way he wouldn't have known we were entering here! That woman is spouting lies!" Martha also shouted that it was absolutely not true while grinding her teeth. "Th, then why was he just staying still..." "That's all nonsense! Don't believe it!" Dorian trembled his whole body as if fear had struck again, and Krein grabbed his head telling him to get a grip. "......" Runaan was also flustered, but as if she would follow Raon's opinion first, she quietly regulated her breathing while holding Snow Flower. 'Wrath.' Raon turned his gaze away from Death Sword Spirit and looked at Wrath. 'Have you ever felt the Heavenly Demon's gaze in Cameloon?' He didn't know, but he thought Wrath might have sensed the Heavenly Demon's presence, so he asked. -Not at all! Wrath shook his head firmly. -I've never felt even a tiny gaze or tremor. It either means that woman's words are lies, or that Heavenly Demon fellow perfectly concealed himself. The guy wrinkled his nose bridge as if he didn't know which it was either. "You're all right." Death Sword Spirit sighed and nodded her head. "The Heavenly Demon was probably watching all of you." She exhaled a murky breath, saying the Light Wind Palace swordsmen were correct. "You entering Cameloon, opening the gate leading to Paradise, and even killing the Sphinx and infiltrating this place." Death Sword Spirit said the Heavenly Demon would have watched everything while biting her lips slightly. "Hrrruuk!" Bear Fire Demon let out herbivore-like groans as if he could feel the Heavenly Demon's gaze. "Hmm, so it was like that after all?" Silent Serpent Swordsman curled up the corners of his mouth as if he had somewhat expected the Heavenly Demon's location. "But why...?" Raon frowned while looking at Eden's sky rather than at Death Sword Spirit. "The Heavenly Demon didn't stop us and was just watching? Even until now." He bit his lips while surveying Eden's scenery that felt ominous unlike at first. "The Heavenly Demon might have considered your intrusion as part of human life as well." Death Sword Spirit closed and opened her eyes as if she didn't understand it herself. "Honestly, I don't know either, so go out and ask him yourself. He's probably waiting outside." She shook her head as if telling him not to ask her. 'That's...' Raon clicked his tongue briefly while looking at Death Sword Spirit's firm eyes. 'It's not a lie.' He didn't know Death Sword Spirit exactly, but there were things he could tell since they had crossed swords from their first meeting. That woman was not the type to spout such lies. "Haaa..." Raon let out a small sigh and pulled out the Demonic Sword stuck in Death Sword Spirit's chest. 'So it's come to this. It seems I've been had instead.' He had intended to strike Eden's main base and panic the Heavenly Demon and Eden's ghosts, but hearing that the Heavenly Demon had been watching everything, it seemed he had been caught off guard instead. "It seems the title 'Demon Who Ascended to Heaven' wasn't earned through playing territory games." Raon felt that the Heavenly Demon's shadow had been cast even behind his back, and his shoulders trembled. 'That guy might have become stronger than before, like grandfather.' Setting himself aside, seeing that even Wrath couldn't catch his presence, the Heavenly Demon had probably also ascended to an even higher level like Glenn. As expected, demons weren't easily broken. "Then let's go." It was when Raon said he would end things here and was about to turn around. Huuuuuk! Glacier's frost that had been lodged in Death Sword Spirit's wound began to melt away in the red fighting spirit, and blood started dripping. "Where do you think you're going?" Unlike before, she called out to Raon with a chilling voice. "You..." Raon frowned while looking at Death Sword Spirit's revived fighting spirit. "Didn't you prophesy? That I would tell you the Heavenly Demon's location as I die. I certainly lost, but that prophecy hasn't been fulfilled yet." Death Sword Spirit acknowledged her defeat but raised her black sword as if she would fight to the end. "You'll really die this time though?" Raon twisted his chin sideways. He had spared Death Sword Spirit because she fought fairly and acknowledged defeat, but he was still contemplating whether to kill her now. Since she was trying to attack him asking to end it herself, it was honestly absurd. "It doesn't matter. It's natural for a martial artist to die to a superior sword." Death Sword Spirit tilted her black sword back behind her head and stretched her body like a lynx, as if she would fight risking her life. Her fighting spirit blazed and burned starting from her feet, then heat that covered all of Eden burst forth. "Haaa..." Death Sword Spirit swung her sword, filled with a chilling Killing Intent. It seemed she was about to unleash a space-leaping thrust like before. -Ooh! Wrath felt Death Sword Spirit's fighting spirit and let out an exclamation. -A martial artist dying to a superior sword is natural! What a splendid fellow! The guy nodded as if he suddenly liked Death Sword Spirit. -But I feel like I've heard those words somewhere before... Wrath clicked his tongue saying the memory seemed to come and go. "To think such a person was in Eden...." "That's a woman I'd like to fight." Burren and Martha also seemed impressed by Death Sword Spirit's fighting spirit and let out sighs. "The sword tip..." Runaan moved her fingers as if trying to learn a new sword stance through Death Sword Spirit's posture. "Good." Raon nodded while holding the Divine Sword above and the Demonic Sword below. "Come." He also liked Death Sword Spirit's stance like Wrath, so he said he would receive all of Death Sword Spirit's martial arts while extending his left foot forward. Paaaaang! Death Sword Spirit flew in while roughly crushing the earth. Her sword point was already touching Raon's brow. Kyaaaang! It was the moment when Raon felt the killing intent burning from Death Sword Spirit's black sword and drew a defensive technique with his Divine Sword. Huuuuuk! Death Sword Spirit turned her body before the Divine Sword could reach her. She flowed away the Divine Sword's path like clouds drifting in the air. Chiaaang! Raon aimed for Death Sword Spirit's chest as she revealed herself again with his Demonic Sword, like in the previous clash. Huuuuuu! But Death Sword Spirit again stepped on mysterious footwork and swept her black sword to deflect the Demonic Sword. "Now!" Death Sword Spirit didn't miss the momentary gap when the Divine Sword went down and the Demonic Sword extended to the right, and thrust her black sword. 'Huh...' Raon let out an empty breath while looking at Death Sword Spirit's black sword approaching as if it would pierce his heart. 'Is she still continuously growing?' Death Sword Spirit seemed to get stronger each time they fought, no, each time she exchanged techniques with him. A talent greater than his own with the Ring of Fire. Honestly, it didn't make sense. 'First...' Raon turned his Divine Sword halfway and struck away Death Sword Spirit's black sword that was trying to pierce his chest. Kiaaaang! Death Sword Spirit used the impact of her black sword being struck in reverse to stab her sword toward his neck even faster. Raon used Fangs of Insanity's free sword path to strike away Death Sword Spirit's black sword while narrowing his eyes thinly. 'No, it's not growth but...' It seems like she's regaining her strength. No matter how much of a genius she is, she can't immediately adapt what she realizes while fighting someone stronger than herself. Death Sword Spirit wasn't growing, but seemed to be recovering lost martial prowess. 'Dangerous.' Death Sword Spirit was still a swordsman who had reached the Absolute realm. If she became stronger, even he might not be a match for her, so it was right to end it now. Seuuuuu! Raon took a heavy breath and moved forward. After striking away Death Sword Spirit's thrust that was so fierce it sent chills down his spine with his Demonic Sword, he drew down his Divine Sword. Paaaaang! Death Sword Spirit tried to step on footwork using the impact caused by the Demonic Sword to escape the Divine Sword's range. 'It's already too late.' Raon shook his head briefly and stabbed at the air with his Divine Sword. The Divine Sword's flames pierced through space and surged before Death Sword Spirit's eyes. "Uum!" Death Sword Spirit swung her black sword to block the flames that showed more than speed, but the Divine Sword's flames ignored her defense and dug into her interior. Peoooook! Death Sword Spirit's chest was pierced by the flaming sword strike and she knelt on the spot. Void Slash. The transcendent swordsmanship that pierces through enemy evasion and defense had shattered Death Sword Spirit's mysterious footwork. "Ha..." Death Sword Spirit slowly parted her lips while looking at the wound on her chest where blood was pouring down. "Splendid swordsmanship..." She nodded as if pleased to have seen swordsmanship more amazing than expected. "Kill me." Death Sword Spirit looked at Raon with eyes from which all fierceness had disappeared, as if asking him to end it. "You were also excellent." It was when Raon nodded and was about to cut Death Sword Spirit's neck with his Divine Sword. Seuuuuuu! From the earth where Death Sword Spirit was kneeling, waves redder than her blood surged up. Kuguuguugu! As the waves expanded their size like concentric circles, Eden's main base - no, this world - began to shake with tremendous vibrations as if screaming. "This is..." At the sight of the sky cowering in fear and the earth crying out in terror, Raon trembled his chin and stepped back. He too broke out in cold sweat on his forehead as if crushed by the red waves. -He's coming! Wrath came jumping forward with trembling pupils. For the first time, the guy glared at the red light with eyes filled with hatred and malice. -The Monarch of Pride, who deserves more than death!
