The Reincarnated Assassin Is a Genius Swordsman
Chapter 1325
Chapter 1325
-S, spar?
Wrath opened his eyes wide as if asking what he was talking about.
-Are you really insane? What spar all of a sudden!
The guy spat out the drool he had been dripping from the ice cream like a fountain as if truly flustered.
'Insane my ass.'
Raon calmly waved his hand.
'I'm more normal now than I've ever been.'
He drew a faint smile to indicate that he was speaking with a clear mind.
-No, that's not something a sane person would say!
Wrath furrowed his brow deeply.
-What spar are you talking about!
The guy shook his head vigorously, saying he couldn't understand.
'Why?'
Raon asked Wrath back.
'Why can't we spar?'
He shrugged his shoulders with an expression that suggested he couldn't understand either.
-Such an idiot!
Wrath bared his white teeth as if annoyed.
-This king is currently in spirit form! You and this king can't fight at all!
The guy wrinkled his nose bridge, asking what he was talking about when he knew everything.
'Ah, that's not really a problem.'
Raon chuckled while looking at Wrath.
-Y, you don't tell me...
Wrath trembled his rounded shoulders.
-Do you want a battle of souls? You devoured this king long ago!
The guy gritted his teeth, asking if he was thinking of beating him up with soul combat again.
'No.'
Raon chuckled and shook his head.
'There's a way I can meet you. Before, when you and I...'
He slowly closed his eyes, recalling when he had faced Wrath's true form long ago.
'Like when we met in the Room of Self.'
The Wrath he had met in the Room of Self wasn't a cotton candy screaming like now, but a being so beautiful it was chilling yet terrifyingly powerful.
'I hope this time it will be a different fight from back then.'
Raon opened his eyes calmly and curled up the corners of his mouth. He wanted to meet and fight once more with that monster who hadn't even been an opponent back then.
-Huh!
Wrath let out a small exclamation as if he had just remembered that incident.
-Did you find a way to enter the Room of Self again?
The guy opened his eyes wide, saying he hadn't thought of that.
-Since it happened once, there's definitely a possibility, but unlike then, you might not be able to meet this king.
Wrath lowered his eyebrows as if saying he should think carefully.
'No. It's not the Room of Self.'
Raon firmly shook his head.
-Then how on earth... Ah!
Wrath tilted his head saying he had no idea, then opened his mouth wide.
-You've finally decided to follow this king to Devildom!
'Stop talking nonsense.'
Raon firmly waved his hand.
'I might go later, but absolutely not now. There's still a war remaining.'
-Then speak up! How exactly are you going to do it!
Wrath puffed out white steam from his mouth as if getting irritated.
'Sword Domain and Soul Sword.'
Raon spread two fingers as if he had been waiting.
-Sword Domain and Soul Sword?
Wrath furrowed his brow even deeper as if he still didn't understand those words.
'Not an ordinary Sword Domain, but I'll use <Descent of the Demon King> that calls your soul into my body.'
Raon folded his fingers as he mentioned the Sword Domain Descent of the Demon King that summons Wrath.
-Descent of the Demon King?
Wrath let out an incredulous breath.
-Are you really insane? If you use Descent of the Demon King, this king's and your current states will be reversed, so how are you going to fight! Moreover...
The guy raised his voice, saying the inability to fight wasn't the only problem.
-If you use Descent of the Demon King, your martial prowess and realm will drop drastically! The war with Eden is not far off, will you really do that?
Wrath tapped Raon's head with his finger as if telling him to think carefully.
'Of course I'm not just going to do it normally.'
Raon firmly shook his head.
'At the moment your soul tries to enter my body, I'll use Soul Sword to change that direction.'
He made a hand blade gesture and lightly poked Wrath.
-Ch, change direction?
'So that your soul enters my mental world instead of my body.'
Descent of the Demon King is a special technique that accepts Wrath's soul into his own body. He planned to activate Descent of the Demon King and at the moment Wrath tried to enter his body, strike with Soul Sword to push the guy's soul into the mental world instead of his body.
-Hmm...
Wrath let out a low hum while resting his chin on his hand.
-I, if that's really possible, it's not impossible for this king to enter your mental image instead of your body. However!
The guy wrinkled his nose bridge as if that wasn't all.
-Can you really do that!
Wrath frowned as if it was hard to believe.
-That Sword Domain sucks in this king's soul at a speed that even this king finds hard to perceive. If you miss that split-second moment, it will definitely fail!
The guy shook his head, saying it was too dangerous.
'That's certainly true.'
Raon acknowledged Wrath's words and nodded calmly.
'But I can do it now.'
He had learned the delicate operation of Soul Sword by luring Sariel, grew his realm of the soul by toying with Uriel, and even increased Soul Sword's power by having sword conversations with Glenn. His Soul Sword now was sharper than ever.
-S, sharp is not good! What are you going to do if you cut this king's soul!
Wrath gritted his teeth, telling him to speak properly.
'Ah, sorry. I won't cut your soul, but I'll be able to strike it.'
Raon nodded, saying it was fine to trust him.
-Grrrr...
Wrath bit his lip as if troubled.
-F, fine! Since you kept your promise, this king will also keep the promise this king made!
The guy raised his fist, saying to start right away. He was truly a kind demon king, agreeing to comply immediately when he didn't really have to.
-I'll tell you the timing, so as soon as you use Sword Domain, immediately push this king's soul...
'Ah, thank you, but now is too much.'
Raon waved his hand vigorously.
'I'll have to stay in the mental world for quite a while. I want to recover my stamina and mental strength a bit before entering.'
He shrugged, saying sorry for getting excited but there was nothing he could do.
-Eeeek...
Wrath trembled his chin as if frustrated.
-Say things like that earlier!
* * *
"Phew."
Raon opened his eyes refreshingly and nodded.
"Now I'm fully recovered."
All the physical and mental wounds he had suffered from fighting Uriel and sparring with Glenn had fully healed. Although it took some time, his body felt so light that he was confident he could achieve anything, and his mind was clear without a speck of dust.
-Just now...?
Wrath chewed his lips vigorously.
-This damn bastard!
The guy puffed out his chest as if he couldn't contain his anger.
-If recovery was going to take two whole weeks, you should have said so now! Why did you tell me first and make this king's heart anxious!
Wrath shouted that he had been continuously worrying about the Sword Domain during the two weeks of recovery.
'Worry? What worry?'
Raon blinked, telling him to say what kind of worry he had.
-What worry? Whaaaat worry?
Wrath screamed as if incredulous.
-This king's soul has to get hit by your Soul Sword, how could I not be worried!
The guy gritted his teeth, asking why he was asking something so obvious.
-Moreover, if something goes wrong, not only will you steal my power, but my soul might get cut off too, how could I sleep!
Wrath showed his darkly sunken under-eyes, saying he couldn't sleep for two weeks due to worry.
-Moreover, if you make even a small mistake, not only this king but you too will receive a great shock!
The guy grabbed his head, saying they absolutely had to be careful.
-Think about it again! Since your body and mental strength have recovered, there are other cultivation methods too...
'Of course I could get stronger with other cultivation methods. But...'
Raon narrowed his eyes thin as a blade while looking at Wrath.
'The only way to grow the fastest is this path.'
The war with Eden was not far off. Thinking of the Heavenly Demon, Hydra, and Eden's hidden Transcendents, he had to accumulate as much martial prowess as possible before then.
-Hmm...
Wrath bit his lip slightly as if his thoughts were being read.
-If you say it to that extent, there's nothing I can do.
The guy let out a long sigh as if he had made up his mind.
-Fine! However, you absolutely must not make a mistake!
Wrath shook his head, saying they could lose everything if something went wrong.
'I know. Then.'
Raon grinned and lifted the Heavenly Drive, gripping it in reverse.
-W, wait! Wait a moment!
Wrath raised both hands as if telling him to stop.
-This king needs to prepare mentally too!
'Does a demon king need such things too?'
-Uh...? Ah, no. I don't particularly need to, but just let me think a bit...
'Then that's enough. Think later. Right now...'
Raon struck down roughly with the sword held in reverse grip and twisted up the corners of his mouth.
'Focus on your soul. Even if you're not cut by the sword, it will hurt quite a bit.'
He told him about the pain only now and pierced his own abdomen with the Heavenly Drive.
"Sword Domain, Descent of the Demon King."
Raon shouted the name of the Sword Domain without erasing his smile even while looking at the Heavenly Drive piercing through his abdomen.
-I, it hurts? Wait a moment!
Wrath screamed as if he had no idea and began being sucked into Raon.
-Listen to this king! You crazy bastard!
* * *
-Huh-heoeooop!
Wrath let out an intense groan as he felt his spirit body being sucked into Raon at a terrifying speed.
'This damn bastard!'
Raon had used Sword Domain immediately without giving him proper warning. He was angry enough to want to blow his head off, but if things continued like this, the result that guy wanted definitely wouldn't come out.
'Damn it! Why did I have to meet such a crazy bastard.'
Among so many humans, why did he have to meet the craziest one and suffer like this?
'Phew, since we've started, this king needs to give a signal...'
He had to give a signal before his soul touched Raon's body so that Raon could strike him at the right moment and lead him to the mental world.
'H, how should I give the signal?'
Wrath bit his trembling lips deeply. The speed at which he was being sucked into Raon's body was so fast that he couldn't even move his body, let alone speak properly. At this rate, it seemed he wouldn't be able to give Raon the signal at the proper timing.
'I'm almost there! If you miss this moment, Descent of the Demon King will be realized! Now! Push this king away right now!'
Wrath screamed as he felt his soul pushing away Raon's soul and touching his body. However.
-Jiheueuup!
Wrath's voice came out not as words but only as a sobbing scream.
'W, wrong! That clueless bastard couldn't possibly match this timing... Kehek!'
As he criticized Raon and clicked his tongue, an intense shock exploded from his head that made his entire spirit body stagger.
-Kiaaaaaaaak! This isn't pushing, it's just beating me up!
Wrath let out a scream he had never made before as a demon king and was sucked not into Raon's body, but into a golden, shimmering space.
"Heoeoook!"
Wrath opened his eyes and let out an intense groan.
"This place is..."
He saw a strange world where swords were flying around both in the sky and on the ground.
"That crazy bastard's..."
"That's right."
Before Wrath could give an answer, the voice of Raon, the owner of this space, was heard.
"This is my mental world. Fortunately, it succeeded."
Raon walked toward Wrath and nodded calmly.
"Thanks to the signal you gave. Of course, it was a scream rather than words."
He said he heard it well and grinned.
"Haaaah..."
Wrath slowly raised his body and looked at his hands and feet. Instead of the usual short and thick hands, his beautiful, long and smooth original arms were moving.
'The body moves properly.'
His original form, not his spirit body. In this state, he could properly beat up Raon while revealing <Wrath> like in the Room of Self.
"If you've come to your senses, let's begin."
Raon drew the Heavenly Drive and showed cold eyes.
"We don't have that much time to be here."
He narrowed his eyes, saying to start the spar immediately.
"Don't regret it."
Wrath lifted his chin while emitting a chilling cold energy.
"This king is properly angry right now!"
Since he wouldn't die in this space, he struck with a cold energy-flowing hand blade so fast that Raon couldn't react, intending to blow off his neck in an instant.
Piaaaaaang!
He was thinking of Raon's head falling and himself mocking that sight.
Jiiiiiiing!
Just before Wrath's hand blade touched Raon's neck. No, right after it touched, the clear sound of a sword blocking the cold energy was heard.
"Huh...?"
Wrath let out an empty breath while looking at Raon's sword that had blocked his hand blade.
"Blocked?"
"You'll be in for a big surprise if you think I'm the same as before."
Raon pushed away Wrath's hand blade with the Heavenly Drive and drew a refreshing smile.
"Let's fight properly. Demon King Wrath."
