The Reincarnated Assassin Is a Genius Swordsman

Chapter 1304 "How dare a mere insect!" Archangel Sariel, as if he absolutely couldn't believe it, gritted his teeth and released massive divine power with both hands. Golden whirlwinds rose around him and began crushing the sky and earth. Terrrrrng! Raon looked at Sariel spewing terrifying energy waves with calm eyes as he stepped with Supreme Harmony Steps. 'The provocation was successful.' Sariel had been thinking that the current situation might be dangerous after being killed repeatedly by him. However, as soon as he said he knew the secret of resurrection, the bastard seemed to have his pride hurt regarding his abilities and was preparing to fight to the end. -Th-that was provocation? Wrath gaped his mouth as if dumbfounded. -You didn't actually figure out how that Sariel bastard resurrects? He trembled his lips, saying the real con artist was right here. 'No. I did somewhat figure it out.' Raon slowly exhaled and entered into the net of divine power that Sariel had spread. "I shall give you a death from which you can never return!" As Archangel Sariel roughly clenched his fists, golden winds that would bring death upon mere contact shot toward Raon. Chiiiiing! Even though Raon was within the net of light that Sariel had spread, he easily cut through the golden winds. -Is, is it really true? Wrath widened his eyes again at Raon's words about knowing Sariel's secret. 'Yes. I thought Sariel's behavior was strange, so it's probably correct.' After Raon slowly inhaled, he unleashed both Fangs of Insanity and Blizzard Sword Art. A fierce beast wreathed in flames and a storm of bitter cold energy resided in the two swords as they tore through the net of light. Swaaaaaash! After cutting through the net and wind that Sariel had spread, Raon charged toward him. "Hmph!" Archangel Sariel snorted as if he had expected that much, creating another net that suppressed space and shooting out wind. An ordinary Transcendent would have been torn apart by that dense net and wind, leaving not even a piece of corpse behind, but Raon was different. Whoooong! Raon leisurely deflected the net and wind that would have touched his body as he approached Sariel. "This crazy..." Sariel chewed his lips frantically as he watched Raon breaking through his divine power with calm eyes. "J-just touching it would kill you, how is this possible!" He controlled light and wind more precisely with furrowed brows, but once again it didn't work on Raon. Thuwoong! Raon eventually cut through all the light and wind, entering the space where his sword could reach Sariel's neck. "Al-already?" As soon as Archangel Sariel heard Raon's calm breathing, he urgently stepped back. "I'll grind you up completely!" It was when he was quickly fleeing and trying to pour out a massive whirlwind toward Raon. Swoooosh! Raon's sword slid in like gliding on ice and slashed Sariel's neck. "Ughhhhh..." Sariel clutched his neck as blood spurted out and knelt down on the spot. He looked at Raon with trembling eyes as if he couldn't believe it, then collapsed as he was. -Hah! It wouldn't be strange to call this overwhelming. Wrath nodded, acknowledging Raon's martial prowess that overwhelmed and crushed Sariel. -It's not just protecting yourself and killing enemies... He slowly turned his eyes. -You even saved the other humans. Wrath let out an exclamation as he saw that Raon had protected even the people around him. 'No. It's still not enough.' It was when Raon was calmly shaking his head. Paaaaaang! A massive pillar of light rose from behind, and Archangel Sariel came back to life with his severed neck and wings reattached. "Raon Zieghart!" Archangel Sariel shouted Raon's name and stomped his feet. At his angry roar, heaven and earth shook and people collapsed as if crumbling. "So that was it after all." Raon twisted up the corners of his mouth as he watched Sariel screaming in rage. "After all?" Sariel furrowed his brows deeply as if asking what he meant. "Sariel. You've been resurrecting by offering the souls of the humans you controlled as sacrifices." Raon calmly jerked his chin as he saw that the royalty and nobles who had been bewitched by Sariel could no longer stand up. "To hide that, you created brilliant light every time you resurrected and stomped your feet to knock down all the humans." Every time Sariel came back to life, he emitted light painful to the eyes and stomped his feet to cause earthquakes. At first, he thought he was just expressing anger and rage at him, but that wasn't it. The bastard had put on such flashy performances to hide his method of resurrection. -Huh...? Huh huh? Oh! Wrath also seemed to realize Sariel's resurrection method now and clapped his hands loudly. -You're right! That bastard kept doing that nonsense every time he died and came back to life! He nodded, saying that Sariel had acted that way even when he died to him. -But how did you figure that out? Wrath sighed, saying he could only understand after hearing it. 'The light might be understandable, but it's strange for a magician to stomp his feet every time he comes back to life.' Raon laughed coldly. 'Because that bastard isn't a martial artist.' Swordsmen often stomp and move their feet to put power into their swordsmanship, but those who mainly use magic like Sariel rarely do such things. Since it was strange that he stomped his feet every time, he observed the surroundings carefully and could feel that those who followed him were dying and unable to get up. "I wondered why you liked insects so much..." Raon sneered as he looked at Sariel's distorted face. "Was it because you yourself are a firefly?" He arrogantly wiggled his finger, telling him to keep emitting light. "Insect. Insect! You insect-like human!" Archangel Sariel seemed genuinely angry as he stomped his feet and summoned a massive storm that spewed golden light. Swaaaaaash! Raon swung the Divine Sword blazing with flames, splitting Sariel's storm in half and burning it. "Haa..." Archangel Sariel let out a deep breath as he watched the split storm. "Yes. Impressive. You're the fourth one to figure out my secret. However..." He curled up his lips as he looked at Raon. "Do you think knowing that means you can stop me!" Archangel Sariel sneered, saying that even knowing his method of resurrection wouldn't be able to stop him. "Your sword is already losing its power, but all the humans in this place are my sacrifices!" He burst into maniacal laughter, saying he could continue to resurrect through the countless people around him. "Is that so. Then..." Raon calmly nodded and raised the Divine Sword whose flames were subsiding. "Die." He sentenced the archangel to death and thrust the Divine Sword. "Ha! Trying to cut space again... Huh?" As Archangel Sariel sneered at Raon and shook his head, the blade of the Divine Sword protruded in front of his neck. Peoooook! The Divine Sword pierced through Sariel's heart before he could react and created massive flames. "Kaaaaaaah!" Sariel tried to grab the Divine Sword's handle and pull it out, but the sword absolutely wouldn't come out and burned him fiercely. "I-I was definitely on guard... Kuhuk!" Sariel muttered that he couldn't understand, knelt on the ground, and vomited blood. "There isn't just one type of Spatial Sword." When Raon nodded his chin, the Divine Sword that had been burning Sariel was pulled out and returned to his hand. "I-is that so? What very good information!" Archangel Sariel grinned wickedly and shook his head. "It'll be a great help when killing an insect like you." He grinned at Raon as if he would resurrect again and fight, then collapsed. Gooooooo! Raon spread his Soul Aura Perception the moment Sariel's breathing was about to stop. 'I need to understand it now.' How that bastard's soul moves. Even though he knew how Sariel resurrected, he still hadn't figured out how he offered human souls as sacrifices. He had to find that out now to completely kill that insect fetishist. 'Sariel's soul has disappeared.' Raon widened his eyes as he felt Sariel's soul melting away like a dying ember. Though it slowly sank down as if dead, the bastard's soul didn't die and disappeared somewhere. 'And what remained inside his corpse was...' The soul of an ordinary human. Right before Sariel died, his soul disappeared, and an ordinary human's soul entered the dying body and immediately melted away. 'Now I understand.' It was clear that Archangel Sariel put the soul of a human he had enslaved into his damaged body just before death to deceive death, while he himself continued his resurrection in a new body. That's why he kept resurrecting with flashy performances in different locations. -Hah... Wrath inhaled emptily as if dumbfounded. 'It's a petty method for someone called an archangel, isn't it?' Raon nodded, saying it was reasonable for Wrath to be surprised. -It is surprising. However, what surprises me isn't that insect bastard, but... Wrath trembled his jaw as he looked at him. -It's because of you who figured it out immediately! Even I couldn't sense such a flow! He swallowed dry saliva, saying he didn't understand why he, who was much stronger, had duller senses than his subordinate. 'Because this is soul perception.' The only person who could feel this now was probably himself, who had trained a new form of Soul Sword. That's why he was the only one who could kill Sariel now. "Try as much as you want! I absolutely will not die!" Sariel summoned another massive light storm, saying to kill him, try to kill him to the end. "In this world..." Raon let out a gentle smile and shook his head. "There is no such thing as absolute." He pushed off the ground with his toes and gracefully extended both arms. Raon Zieghart Style Swordsmanship. 6th Form Divine-Demonic Harmony linked technique Invincible Azure-Red Sword. The Divine Sword and Demonic Sword spewed forth magnificent flames and frost as if they would burst, splitting the massive light storm that reached the sky. Kwaaaaaaa! The divine technique achieved with the two swords didn't just stop at splitting the storm, but also cut through the body of Archangel Sariel who was preparing new magic behind it. "Heok..." Sariel's body was bisected by the Invincible Azure-Red Sword and tilted diagonally. "I-I said it was useless, didn't I? I'll return in perfect physical condition. And you..." Even while vomiting blood, he didn't stop smiling as if he intended to transfer to a new body. "You'll gradually grow tired and bow your head before me." Sariel raised his bleeding chin, saying that the person standing at the end of this fight would not be Raon, but himself. Peoooook! Raon ignored Sariel's words and drove Heavenly Drive, whose flames had subsided, into his chest. "Stupid insect. What's the point of stabbing a body that's already dying." Sariel sneered, saying that swords couldn't stop him. "Then again... Huh?" It was when he tried to extract his soul to transfer to a new body. "Wh-what! Why is my soul!" Sariel frantically rolled his bloodshot eyes left and right as if he couldn't move his own soul. "I told you." Raon gripped Heavenly Drive, which had captured Sariel's soul, even tighter. "There is no such thing as absolute in this world." He looked down at the terrified Sariel and let out a bone-chilling sneer. "I-impossible! It's impossible! A mere insect!" Sariel screamed and struggled with his half-remaining body as if he couldn't extract his soul no matter what he tried. "To the archangel who rules over death..." Raon ignited red lightning in his eyes and summoned golden flames even darker than that above his blade. "I sentence you to death."
