The Reincarnated Assassin Is a Genius Swordsman

Chapter 1303 'As expected...' Raon calmly jerked his chin as he watched Archangel Sariel's head falling off. 'Just as I anticipated.' Since Archangel Sariel had strong pride, he expected that the shock of the Winten King he had sent being stopped by humans would lead him to come looking for him directly. However, since he was also extremely cautious like a rat, it was obvious he would run away if strong martial prowess or Wrath's Authority were revealed from the start. 'So...' I created a new me through the Soul Sword. Soul Sword follows a different path from ordinary martial arts. Beyond just a sword to cut the opponent's soul, it could also create shields and armor to protect one's own soul. 'Of course, this time it wasn't a shield, but changing clothes.' This time, he had acted as if his soul was trembling with fear in order to make Archangel Sariel reveal his true nature. This was normally an impossible realm, but after learning to handle Soul Sword with precision, he became able to even act out emotions of the soul that supposedly could never be hidden. -Th-this is impossible... Wrath widened his eyes as if dumbfounded. -A sword that deceives souls? This is too much! He trembled his jaw, saying he had never even thought of Soul Sword being used this way. 'I didn't expect it either.' Raon nodded as he lowered Heavenly Drive, which didn't have a single drop of blood on it. 'However, it seems Soul Sword grew while listening to people's worries.' He had merely listened to the worries of people who came to the sage and relieved their mental pressure, but somehow Soul Sword's achievement had increased and the realm of the soul had also grown. The extent far exceeded his expectations, to the point where it was honestly bewildering. 'And additional methods different from what I expected were added too.' -Different methods? Wrath frowned as if asking what that meant. 'New abilities have emerged in Soul Sword.' He thought that if Soul Sword grew, it would gain terrifying power like Glenn's. But he had gained not just increased power, but new abilities to read people's hearts by handling Soul Sword with precision, or to hide his own emotions. 'That's how I was able to lure Sariel to approach.' To prevent Sariel from running away, he acted as if intimidated by the dignity of the royalty and nobles he had brought, and deliberately neglected the people even though he knew they were being enchanted. He stayed still so that the prideful Sariel could look down and mock him, then waited for the moment when he let his guard down. He wove together the souls of those who followed him in this space. It was a sword formation made of human souls. When the Soul Sword formation that elevated the realm of the soul was activated, the people who had been enchanted by Sariel returned to their original minds and in turn exerted tremendous pressure on the royalty and nobles. He didn't miss the moment when Sariel was shocked and his reaction slowed, swinging his sword to simultaneously cut his neck and soul. "Ugh..." "Why, why am I here?" "What happened..." "And why are there so many people here!" The royalty and nobles who had been controlled by Archangel Sariel clutched their heads and let out deep groans as if their memories up to now had disappeared. 'People's minds have returned too.' With Archangel Sariel's death, it seemed the royalty and nobles whose souls had been captured by him had also found freedom. However, they hadn't completely escaped yet, so treatment and recuperation appeared necessary. 'However, more than expected...' Raon lowered his eyes then opened them as he watched Sariel fall with his head and body separated. 'It ended easily.' Since he wouldn't have obtained the rank of archangel through brainwashing alone, he thought Sariel would have some special power as well. But now Sariel was dead, leaning on the ground without even being able to properly scream. -Ended easily? Wrath snorted and shook his head. -Have you already forgotten what I said about Sariel? He tapped his temple with his finger as if telling him to think carefully. 'About Sariel?' Raon slightly frowned as he listened to Wrath's words. 'What does that mean?' He thought again, but there wasn't anything he had forgotten about Sariel. He had provoked him in the same way because of his strong pride, and because he was very cautious, he had pretended to be weak until the end to lure him. Since he hadn't missed anything, he couldn't understand Wrath's words. -Not that. Wrath snorted as if that wasn't it. -Have you forgotten what word I used to describe Sariel? 'Word...' Raon swallowed dry saliva as he looked at Sariel's corpse again. 'Archangel of Death and Dominion...?' It was when he recalled the words death and dominion through Wrath's words. Kuwaaaaang! From Sariel's corpse, which had definitely died and stopped breathing, a magnificent golden light so intense it was hard to keep one's eyes open shot up. Chiiiiik! Along with sacred pure white smoke, Sariel, who had died split by his sword, raised his body. He was flashing crimson eyes while revealing eight wings that he hadn't been able to fully spread before. "So it's you." Archangel Sariel nodded as if he finally understood. "Raon Zieghart, who despite being a newly born insect, has reached the highest danger level." He bared his white teeth as if he had known of his existence through Derus Robert. "How did you come back to life?" Raon narrowed his eyes as he looked at Archangel Sariel. 'He was definitely dead.' He had definitely split both Sariel's body and soul with his grown Soul Sword. He had felt certain death, but he didn't know how he had come back to life. "Who knows?" Archangel Sariel twisted his lips and let out a sneer. "Find out for yourself!" He raised his chin as if he had no intention of telling him and stomped his foot. Kuuuuung! When Archangel Sariel revealed his true martial prowess, a massive shockwave exploded and people began falling like dominoes. "Ugh..." "Ahh!" On the other hand, the royalty, nobles, and martial artists who had been dominated by him approached behind Sariel like zombies with glazed eyes, as if the power of brainwashing had strengthened again. -That bastard is someone who doesn't die even when killed. Wrath looked at Archangel Sariel and laughed coldly. -So hand that body over to me! I'll imprison that bastard in the eternal glacier so he can't come back to life! He raised his fist, saying he would kill Sariel himself. As he had heard before, it seemed emotions still remained. 'No, it's fine.' Raon calmly shook his head and raised Heavenly Drive again. "If he doesn't die, then I'll just keep killing him until he dies." (E/N: A perfectly reasonable method. I approve) He declared he would fight to the end and swung Frost Snap toward Archangel Sariel. Paaaang! The extremely sharp blades containing frigid cold energy extended from all directions, targeting Sariel's entire body. Kyaaaang! Sariel, befitting an archangel, instantly read the flow of Frost Snap and surrounded himself with divine power to deflect the cold energy blades. "What a cockroach-like sword!" He snorted as if it were a vulgar sword and struck down with a golden whip blazing with divine power. Kuwaaaaang! Where Sariel's whip fell, a massive hole so deep its end couldn't be seen was created in the ground. "I'll add you to my collection! You should at least be able to control your bowels!" He pressed down on all sides with whips split into dozens of branches as if he would seize Raon's soul. "Gasp!" "Aaaah!" "P-please save me!" People who saw Sariel's whips as massive as lightning from the sky falling over their heads gave up running and sat down in place. Whooooosh! Just as Sariel's whips were about to smash the heads of countless people like watermelons, golden flames rose up. Claaaang! Raon had swept up Heavenly Drive wreathed in the flames of Ten Thousand Flames Cultivation, blocking all of Sariel's countless whip branches. "I'll decline." Following Heavenly Drive, Raon drew the Wooden Ring Sword. He drove both swords into the earth split by the whips, revealing his even more grown realm of the soul. Sword Domain - Divine-Demonic Harmony. Behind Raon, a sun and moon brighter and more brilliant than any archangel rose up. Chiaaaaang! Raon gripped the Divine Sword and Demonic Sword that shone brighter than any archangel in both hands and moved forward. "I'm a human who has no fun watching." Saying that watching him would be no fun either, he swung the Divine Sword and Demonic Sword in both hands. Swaaaash! The two swords, each containing flames and frost respectively, cut through space and tore apart Archangel Sariel's wings. "Guhk!" Archangel Sariel seemed unable to perceive Raon's Spatial Slash at all and crashed to the ground while vomiting blood. "Th-this bastard... Huh?" It was when he was gritting his teeth and trying to steady himself in midair. Swoooosh! Raon, who had definitely been standing on the ground, was now right in front of Sariel's eyes. "Still, don't worry." Raon raised the Divine Sword above his head and shook his chin. "I have no intention of watching you either." He let out a cold voice and struck down with the sword even more coldly. Beoooook! The Divine Sword blazing with flames perfectly split through Archangel Sariel's body. "Kaaaaaaah!" Along with terrifying flames, Archangel Sariel's body and soul began to burn. "No dignity." Raon let out a sneer and raised the Demonic Sword. "Like insects." He brought out the very word that Archangel Sariel had spat at humans as he swept down the Demonic Sword. Kyaaaang! Archangel Sariel froze along with the golden flames and then shattered into dozens of pieces. -Hah! Even if Sariel's martial prowess is weak, I didn't expect it to be this much. Wrath let out a small exclamation as if surprised at Raon overwhelming an archangel. -You really have gotten stronger! He blinked his eyes, saying he knew he had gotten stronger, but didn't know he could deal with an archangel so easily. 'Thanks to you.' Raon smiled and nodded his head. -Hmph! You better mean it. Wrath snorted as if he wouldn't accept Raon's words at face value. -Don't let your guard down. That bastard might keep coming back to life. He shook his head, saying it might not be over yet. 'I know.' It was when Raon was calmly nodding his head. Paaaang! A massive pillar of light rose up and Sariel, who had died split into dozens of pieces, returned to his original form. "Ugh!" Sariel had come back to life, but seemed unable to erase all the pain as he roughly stomped his feet while looking at Raon. Kuuuuung! His heavy stomping extended outward, knocking down all the people who had barely managed to get up and try to escape. "Go ahead and try to continue!" Sariel flashed his eyes and curled up his red lips. "Unlike an insect like you, I absolutely will not die!" He spat out a chilling coldness, saying Raon would die first. "Now I understand." Raon quietly jerked his chin as he looked at Archangel Sariel whose red eyes were flashing. "How you come back to life." "Wh-what...?" Sariel trembled his jaw as if flustered by Raon's calm words. "Don't lie!" He gritted his teeth as if he absolutely couldn't believe it. "Whether it's a lie or not, you'll see for yourself and decide. Of course..." Raon raised the Divine Sword and Demonic Sword from which red and blue heat haze was rising, and cast a red flash over his eyes. "If you're still alive by then."
