The Reincarnated Assassin Is a Genius Swordsman

Chapter 1308 'Hmm....' Raon landed on the summit of Mount Melvin and narrowed his eyes as sharp as blades. 'Why is there nothing here?' Sariel had definitely said there was a temple on the summit of Mount Melvin where the Archangels should be staying, but what he could see with his own eyes now were only withered trees and cracked rocks. 'Did Sariel lie?' No, there's no possibility of that. Sariel had openly revealed his emotions as if he were naked. Even his death didn't escape expectations, so there was absolutely no possibility he had lied. 'Then....' Raon approached the withered tree and bit his lips thinly. 'Have all the Archangels already visited the temple?' Even if Archangel Uriel had visited the temple faster than Sariel expected and then erased the space that was no longer needed, it wouldn't be particularly strange. -Hmph! Wrath looked around the summit of Mount Melvin and sniffed with his nose like a puppy. -There's definitely the scent of divine power.... He smacked his lips, saying he didn't know the exact location, but divine power had definitely been used in this place. -As you said, Uriel might have destroyed the temple. Wrath nodded, saying his judgment seemed correct. 'No, that's not it.' Raon immediately shook his head. -Huh...? Wrath blinked his eyes in disbelief. -Y-You crazy bastard! It was your prediction that Uriel destroyed the temple! 'But I don't think that's it.' Raon breathed out calmly and pointed to the summit of Mount Melvin. 'If Uriel really destroyed the temple, there should be traces left, but this place is too clean.' The withered trees, cracked stones and rocks all only showed traces of time, with no sign of external force acting anywhere. 'Even if they used divine power to erase the temple, there should be some residual divine power remaining, but the energy left in this place doesn't even qualify as an echo.' Raon looked at the empty tree branches and nodded calmly. 'In other words, there's a high possibility that the temple still remains in this place.' He muttered that he was certain and put strength into his fingertips. [Should I try?] Evelyn's doll inside the pouch spoke to him. [I can find out what happened here with magic.] Evelyn laughed, saying she could see the past of Mount Melvin's summit. 'No.' Raon firmly shook his head. 'We might be able to find out what happened here with magic, but the moment we use mana, our traces will remain in this place.' Uriel has strong martial prowess and cunning among the Archangels. If we use magic on this land where divine power flows, he would surely notice. 'Since there's no guarantee that Uriel has been here, we need to be as careful as possible right now.' Since he couldn't carelessly throw away the opportunity to kill or weaken Uriel, he had to take the safest path, testing it multiple times before proceeding. -Then what are you planning to do? [Yeah!] Wrath was curious about the method, and Evelyn just smiled as if she would trust him. 'First....' Raon stood on the summit of Mount Melvin and looked up at the sky. 'I'll need to clear away the divine power here.' Since there might be something that he and Wrath couldn't see due to the divine power flowing from the summit, he needed to first try erasing the divine power. 'They might have hidden the temple's appearance using divine power.' -Hiding a real space with divine power... Wrath slowly nodded his head. -That's possible, but how are you going to do it? He tilted his jaw, saying he didn't understand. -You said it yourself. If we carelessly touch this place, Uriel might notice. Wrath furrowed his brow, asking what on earth he was thinking. 'I have the trait given by the great demon king.' Raon smiled brightly and heightened his realm of the soul. 'It's a trait graciously granted to be of great help when fighting Angels, so I should use it well.' He winked at Wrath, saying thank you. -Don't tell me that's.... '<Divine Power Resistance>.' Raon smiled as he said the name of the trait he had obtained thanks to Wrath. 'Originally it's a defensive trait that can withstand divine power-based attacks, but if I put it into my sword, it would be quite interesting.' After calmly regulating his breathing, he utilized the trait. Though it would normally be impossible, the ten Ring of Fire resonated and the ability of <Divine Power Resistance> that wrapped around his body began flowing into his sword. Swooooosh! Raon cut through the air with his sword flowing with <Divine Power Resistance> without using even a small amount of aura. Craaack! A golden crack formed in the air where Heavenly Drive had passed, revealing a completely different space from the scenery of Mount Melvin's summit that he was seeing with his eyes. Transparent clouds drifted in the sky, and above the earth filled with trees and bushes brimming with green vitality, a dazzlingly pure white temple soared high into the heavens. Each pillar forming the temple was so massive that it looked exactly like a mystical land where immortals would play. 'As expected, they hid the space where the temple is?' As he had expected, the Archangels seemed to have hidden the space where the temple was located with divine power so ordinary people could never know of it. Whooosh! When Raon tried to bring down Heavenly Drive deeper, the split space closed again and returned to the ordinary summit of Mount Melvin. 'Was the power a bit insufficient?' After regulating his breathing, he again utilized <Divine Power Resistance> and slashed down with Heavenly Drive. Craaaaaack! This time too, the crack created by the sword closed before Heavenly Drive could completely split open the space where the temple was. 'Again.' Raon frowned and struck down with Heavenly Drive once more. Just like before, the space where the temple was located opened halfway before closing again. -Puhehehehe! Wrath burst into laughter while holding his belly. -What, you acted like you could do everything, but in the end you can't do it! He drew a deeper smile, saying it looked amusing. '......' Raon quietly watched Wrath snickering and then nodded his head. 'There's still something I can use left.' He said it wasn't over yet and put strength into the grip holding Heavenly Drive. -Hah! Are you trying to use this king's Authority? Wrath lifted his chin and snorted. -If you use this king's Authority, cutting that space would be simple. But this king's Authority is in conflict with the Archangels' divine power. It would leave traces stronger than that crazy woman's magic, so how could that work! He waved his round hand, telling him not to think such foolish thoughts. 'No.' Raon chuckled and in turn let out a sneer. 'It's not about cutting that space with your Authority, but strengthening the trait.' Rather than manifesting Wrath's Authority externally, if he strengthened the trait from within himself, he would be able to cut through that space. -Such a method.... Wrath bit his lips as if he hadn't thought of that aspect. 'Moreover....' Raon let out a deeper smile and smoothly extended Heavenly Drive. 'If I focus on the sword too, it'll be more certain.' Even without using aura, he was a Swordsman who had tasted the ultimate principles of the sword to some degree. If he just had a sword in his hand, he could achieve anything. "Huu." Raon regulated his breathing tediously slowly and raised Heavenly Drive above his head. He enhanced the trait of <Divine Power Resistance> with Authority of Wrath and stopped his deep inhalation. Swooooooosh! In that instantaneous moment when his breath stopped, he drew down a sword that was neither fast nor slow, neither strong nor weak, neither heavy nor light. The most perfect sword he could wield in the name of being a swordsman. Craaaaaaack! As Heavenly Drive fell with a quiet momentum, a mystical space where immortals might dwell opened behind where the silver blade had passed. However, unlike before, the space didn't close immediately after the sword passed through but remained open. -This, this actually works? Wrath opened his mouth so wide it looked like it would tear as he looked at the split space. -No, does this make sense...? He trembled his jaw as if he couldn't understand despite seeing it with his own eyes. 'It does make sense.' Raon said he succeeded and shrugged his shoulders toward Wrath. 'Of course, it's thanks to your help.' He smiled brightly, saying he could find the real temple and cut through it thanks to Wrath. -Grrrgh! Even though Wrath heard words of gratitude, he ground his teeth so hard it made noise, as if irritation was rising. -Y-You bastard will get what's coming to you someday! He truly seemed angry as he burned blue flames in his eyes. -As this king always says, this world is vast and there are many strong ones.... It was when Wrath was about to curse with the meaning to be careful. [You have cut through divine power with trait <Divine Power Resistance>.] [You have achieved an unbelievable Achievement.] [All Ability Scores increase by 30 points.] [New trait &lt;Blade that Cuts Divine Power&gt; is generated.] The fact that Raon cut through divine power with <Divine Power Resistance> seemed shocking even to the system, as reward messages immediately appeared. -Uh, uh, uh.... Wrath foamed at the mouth as if he would suffocate while looking at the suddenly appeared reward messages. -Stop, stop it! You damn system! Only bones will really remain of the main body! He ground his teeth as if he would immediately grab and kill the system if it were in front of him. 'I don't think I'll be getting what's coming to me, though?' Raon smiled faintly as he checked the reward messages. 'With you helping me like this, how could I get what's coming to me? No matter how strong the enemy is, I'll be able to win.' He bowed his head to Wrath, saying he was always grateful. -Hah! Hah! Haaaah! Wrath beat his own chest and screamed as if having hyperventilation. [As expected of Raon!] Since Evelyn didn't know Wrath's condition, she giggled and raised the doll's hand. [I always believe in you!] Of course, even if she knew Wrath's condition, she probably wouldn't stop such praise. 'Then let's go in.' Raon told Wrath and Evelyn to go inside the space while concealing his presence. He perfectly erased his existence as if he didn't exist in this place, then stepped into the golden split space. It wasn't the sensation of stepping on hard earth. It was the sensation of something softer than the carpet in the audience chamber touching his feet first. His shoulders involuntarily trembled slightly at this foreign sensation he had never felt before. 'There is air, but this too is somehow different.' Unlike when he was on Mount Melvin, breathing was quite heavy. Even when he breathed deeply, it wasn't even half of his usual breathing capacity, making his chest feel slightly stuffy. 'Is this a space dominated by divine power?' If he fought an Archangel in this space, it would undoubtedly result in certain defeat. It was fortunate that he could grasp the space where the temple was located in advance. 'Shall I examine it a bit more?' It was when Raon was wetting his dry lips and trying to approach the temple. "I heard a very good sword sound?" From behind, someone's voice filled with excitement could be heard. Raon swallowed dry saliva and turned around. He opened his eyes wide at the sight of a man who had approached without any presence. "You are...."
