The Reincarnated Assassin Is a Genius Swordsman

Chapter 1316 In a secluded forest away from Mount Melvin. Woooooong! A clear blue light burst forth from the void and Raon emerged with Darkan slung over his shoulder. "Heoheok..." Raon sat down immediately before his feet even touched the ground and coughed up breath mixed with blood. 'This time was really dangerous.' Just before entering the teleportation magic circle, Uriel's wrathful expression comes to mind. If the magic activation had been just a little later, everything would have been devoured and burned by the rampaging Apocalypse, but fortunately Evelyn's magic activated before that and they were able to escape. -Indeed. Wrath looked at Mount Melvin where Uriel's divine power was still pouring out. -That crazy bastard. He tried to destroy everything without thinking of the consequences! He frowned, saying that Uriel was trying to burn down this entire area. 'I felt it too.' Raon wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and nodded. 'If it hadn't been for Evelyn's magic, I would have died too.' Evelyn had told him to trust her, and it seemed she had really prepared perfect escape magic. 'When I return, I need to thank her...' Just as Raon was thinking he should return to the family and thank Evelyn. (E/N: You fool) "You came!" Evelyn's clear voice came from above his head. "I was waiting!" She said it was hard because he came too late and came down to the ground to hug Raon. "You, weren't you supposed to be at the family estate?" Raon's shoulders trembled slightly as he looked at Evelyn. "Why are you here..." They had agreed that Evelyn would stay at the family estate to avoid being tracked, so he couldn't understand why she had appeared here. "If Raon is somewhere, I have to go there too. Where the needle goes, the thread must follow!" Evelyn twisted her body, asking why he would ask such a thing. "We'll always be together from now on!" "Ugh..." Raon felt a bigger headache than what he suffered from Uriel and held his head. -Groooan! Wrath let out a deep groan as if feeling even greater pain and squeezed his eyes tightly shut. "Well, anyway, thank you." Raon nodded to Evelyn. "Thanks to you..." Just as he was trying to say thank you and pull Evelyn away. Hwaaaaaaa! Enormous flames that seemed large enough to cover this entire region soared up from the void above Mount Melvin. The flames that stretched out magnificently like an archangel's wings slowly settled down, then wrapped around the entire Mount Melvin that was rooted in this land like a tree. Kwaaaaaaaaa! As the magnificent stems of flame connected like a single ring, a terrifying explosion of Crimson Flame erupted. Beneath the pure white smoke brought by the explosion, there was no longer a mountain that soared as if piercing the sky. Gooooooo! Before Uriel's wrath, the very earth where Mount Melvin had stood collapsed and melted, leaving a massive black hole in the ground. It was the moment when the place name Mount Melvin itself ceased to exist. Swoooosh! Uriel disappeared somewhere after annihilating Mount Melvin and Azazel, as if he didn't want to stay in this place for even a moment. Gulp. Raon swallowed dry saliva and trembled the hand holding Heavenly Drive. 'If that had fallen on me.' I would have died for sure. In his current abnormal state. No, even at full strength, it would have been difficult to withstand that. Unless he summoned Wrath with Descent of the Demon King, he would have had no choice but to die. -That bastard Uriel seems to have gotten really irritated! Wrath giggled, saying it was refreshing to see Uriel's crumpled expression. -That Azazel seems to be dead too. He snorted, saying that Uriel seemed to have melted Azazel's soul with flames. 'Azazel doesn't matter.' Raon nodded calmly. 'It's much better for her to die here than to escape somewhere and survive.' Though he had only met Azazel briefly, he had fully grasped her nature and thoughts. A personality disorder and fraudster who only cared about herself and didn't care what happened to others. It was cleaner for her to be annihilated by Uriel's hand here than to suddenly appear later and interfere in a war. -You have no tact, but you sure read people well. Wrath chuckled, saying it was amazing. "Raon!" Evelyn clung to Raon again and rubbed her face against him. "What comes after 'thanks to you'! I'm curious!" She seemed to have no interest in the fact that Mount Melvin had been erased, and grabbed his hand asking him to continue what he was saying. "It was 'I, I lived.'" Raon said he was trying to say thank you for saving him, his pupils trembling slightly. "No problem! If you have any favors to ask, just tell me anytime!" Evelyn shook her shoulders slightly as if asking if there were no more problems. "I'm fine now." Raon nodded calmly. "I got everything I wanted for now." The most important task when coming to Mount Melvin was finding a way to weaken Uriel. Since he couldn't defeat Archangel Uriel with his current power, reducing Uriel's strength by destroying the temple or taking other measures was the top priority, and fortunately he was able to accomplish that. 'The temple collapsed and the connection to the heavenly realm was severed, so Uriel can no longer possess his true divine power.' Seeing that Azazel's seal was broken, it's certain that the connection between the temple and the heavenly realm was severed. While other archangels who had already passed through the temple might be fine, Uriel will no longer be able to maintain his true power. 'Moreover, Uriel consumed a massive amount of divine power while facing me and Darkan.' Uriel used tremendous divine power while fighting against him and Darkan. With the connection to the heavenly realm severed, it won't be easy to recover the consumed power. 'With Azazel's death, a dangerous element has also disappeared.' The fallen angel Azazel was a fraudster who could do anything if left free. If she recovered her power and caused trouble, much damage could have occurred, so it was best that she was dealt with by Uriel here. 'Lastly, my own growth is also quite significant.' While fighting Uriel, the grades of his traits Divine Power Resistance and Blade that Cuts Divine Power greatly increased, and by watching the heavenly realm's transcendent swordsmanship, he also elevated his realm of martial arts. His realm of the soul also rose, making his Soul Sword even sharper. If he met Uriel again, he was confident he could fight much better than now. It was a very dangerous battle and he actually suffered serious injuries, but ultimately he gained many benefits, so his mind was at ease. -That's certain. Wrath nodded as if agreeing. -However, keuheup! He twisted his lips up mockingly. -You failed to keep the words you said while acting all cool! 'Words I said while acting cool? What was that?' Raon tilted his head looking at Wrath. -Puhuhup! You told Uriel, 'This time, I predict it. You will die here!' and in the end, you couldn't kill him, could you!' Wrath let out a sneer, saying he acted cool but failed to keep his word. 'Ah, that.' Raon calmly raised his finger while being mocked by Wrath. 'Then I just need to change the words. Instead of "you will die here," I can say "you will die by my hand."' He said he would be able to keep that promise and nodded calmly. -No, no! If you said such cool words and couldn't keep them, at least be embarrassed! Wrath gritted his teeth, asking why he was being so calm when he did nothing right. 'What can I do about being pushed back because my power was weak?' Raon openly said he couldn't win right now and waved his hand. -Grrrr! Wrath glared at him and bit his lip. -From now on, you're weak! A pathetically weak guy! When he showed no particular reaction, Wrath flicked his tongue as if he was going to tease him like a child. -A loser who just talked big and ran away because he's weak... Just as Wrath was childishly running his mouth. [You fought valiantly against an archangel who was superior in martial prowess and achieved your goal.] [You have achieved a great accomplishment.] [All Ability Scores increase by 60 points.] [Traits...] A reward message appeared saying Raon had overcome what he wanted against the superior Archangel Uriel. -Huh...? Wrath opened his mouth wide seeing the message. -What, what is this reward! You didn't even defeat Uriel! He couldn't understand why he was getting a reward when he didn't even defeat Uriel, and his jaw trembled. 'I couldn't defeat Uriel, but...' Raon pointed to the first message and grinned. 'I held out quite a long time fighting against a stronger opponent, so it's giving me this to become stronger in the future.' After scanning through the message, he looked at Wrath again. 'Because I'm weak.' -Grrrrrr! Wrath gnashed his teeth so hard that a grinding sound could be heard while examining the message. 'Thank you. It's thanks to you.' He nodded, saying it seemed like he got so many rewards because Wrath said 'for being weak.' -Damn it! Wrath vented his anger and slammed down his hand forcefully. -Why is the first message so annoyingly long! When it's usually short! 'Why would it be long.' Raon chuckled and read the first message again. 'Since you said I was weak, it wrote it long to take better care of me.' He said it was certain and showed a gentle smile. 'I'll keep asking you in the future. Please talk more.' -Shut uuuuuup! * * * Chiiiiiiik! Raon removed his hand from Darkan's chest and stepped back. 'He almost went to the point of death.' Darkan's injuries were so serious that it wouldn't be strange if he died soon. Since he kept clashing head-on with Archangel Uriel while his Mental Image hadn't recovered yet, it was natural in a way that his body and mind would be damaged. 'But fortunately there won't be any aftereffects.' Because Darkan didn't forcibly dodge or run away from Uriel's sword strikes but continued to block them from the front, the wounds were very clean. It might sound strange to say injuries are clean, but because he took them cleanly, it seemed it wouldn't be too difficult to treat them. 'Of course, I couldn't completely erase all of Uriel's divine power.' Since Uriel's sword strikes contained dense divine power, even using Divinity Born from Darkness couldn't easily remove it. He would need to take him to the family estate and leave him with the Ragged Saint Federick to return to his original state. "Anyway, I lived thanks to you." Raon chuckled and patted Darkan's shoulder. "Thank you." If Darkan hadn't blocked Uriel, he wouldn't have been able to achieve the current results and would have had to flee immediately. Thanks to him, he accomplished multiple objectives, so he definitely wanted to say thank you. "Thank you my ass!" Darkan opened his eyes wide and shook his head. "I'm more grateful that you let me fight against such a guy!" He twisted his lips up, saying he was more grateful for giving him the opportunity to fight Uriel. "You..." Raon opened his mouth wide looking at Darkan. "How..." Darkan's condition was so poor that it wouldn't be strange if he died right now. It wasn't a situation where he could get up yet, but his awakening as if nothing was wrong was unbelievable. "I just got up because my eyes opened." Darkan calmly rolled his shoulders as if it was nothing. "No, or should I say I can't sleep well?" He raised his body using his sword as a staff, as if now was not the time to sleep well. "What do you..." Raon couldn't understand Darkan's words and his jaw trembled. "It has finally come." Darkan drew a deep smile with his blood-soaked lips. "The opportunity to perfectly recover my Mental Image!" He clenched his trembling hand into a fist, saying he could now recover the Mental Image that had been devoured by Derus Robert. "You watch carefully too." Darkan raised the dark sword he had been gripping like a staff and lifted his chin. "It will definitely be helpful."
