The Reincarnated Assassin Is a Genius Swordsman

Chapter 1326 "Phew." Raon let out a heavy breath while looking at Wrath's hand blade that flashed with a sharp, blue gleam. 'I almost died again.' If he hadn't reacted in that split second, his neck would have been blown off by that guy's strike just like when he met Wrath in the Room of Self before. It was fortunate that he had countered with full power from the start. 'As expected, he's not an easy opponent.' He had achieved significant growth both mentally and physically since visiting the Room of Self. He thought he could match Wrath to some extent now, but he still felt a large gap in their levels. 'But fighting is possible.' It wasn't like when he first went to the Room of Self where he had to pour all his strength just to block one of Wrath's light attacks, so it seemed he could somehow fight back. "Ha." Wrath's blue eyes sank coldly. "Truly an arrogant fellow." Contrary to calling him arrogant, that guy curled up the corners of his mouth as if finding it interesting. "You knew that from the beginning." Raon pushed away Wrath's hand blade with the Heavenly Drive and shook his head. 'How chilling.' Wrath's voice was the same as usual, but his visible appearance was dramatically different. Seeing Wrath, who had been like cotton candy melting under the sun, become a piercingly beautiful person was more shocking than his martial prowess. His pale and smooth skin like first snow was perfect without even small scars, making him feel not human but like a statue carved from marble, and his hair that seemed molded from melted moonlight emitted a subtle white light, making Wrath's presence even more mysterious. Among them, the most impressive thing was Wrath's eyes. His pupils that were cold like sapphires yet sparkled proudly like stars didn't contain light but rather had a suction force that seemed to draw it in, making it hard to look away. His sharp yet graceful body lines and expression that seemed to mock the world. Wrath's current appearance wouldn't be strange to see as the Monarch of Wrath himself who ruled the Devildom. Kyaaaang! Raon added more strength to the Heavenly Drive and pushed away Wrath who had been enduring the blade with his hand blade. Paang! Wrath deliberately fell back as if being pushed away. "......." That guy didn't say anything and moved his hands and legs to check his body condition. "You. What is your reason for trying to become strong to this extent?" Wrath looked at Raon and narrowed his eyes thin and sharp like a blade. "Since the Nadine bread old man has transcended human limitations, there's almost no chance of losing to the Heavenly Demon, and if the eyeball guy, the beef girl, and even that fool who received the Martial Arts Manual from you all become Transcendents, the family will be full of Transcendents. It's obvious you'd win the war just by maintaining your current state, so why are you pushing yourself this hard to become stronger?" That guy wrinkled his nose bridge, saying he needed to hear the reason first. "You're right." Raon raised both arms widely. "Grandfather will eventually defeat the Heavenly Demon, and Eden's executives can't stop the Five Kings, or even Zieghart alone. Even if Archangels intervene, we can call upon demon kings to stop them. It's safe to say we won't lose the war. But..." He clenched his grip on the Heavenly Drive and raised his head. "Still, many people will die. People who have faced me. Comrades who have been with me since childhood will spill hot blood and be buried in cold ground. I don't want to see that." Raon closed his eyes and then opened them, saying he wanted to become strong even at the risk of his life to minimize the damage as much as possible. "I see." Wrath calmly stroked his chin as if he had expected that answer. "If that's the reason, then your actions make sense." That guy curled up the corners of his mouth, saying he finally understood his motivation. "The guy who was like a doll has truly changed a lot." Wrath snorted briefly and nodded his head. "Good. As you wish, this king shall show you his true martial prowess." A subtle warmth arose in that guy's cold eyes that had been like ice. Like a king who cherishes his subordinates, he seemed to like his answer. "However..." A cold light seeped into Wrath's blue pupils. "Don't die too quickly and dampen this king's interest." "Don't worry." Raon shook his head firmly. "It will be clearly different from before." It was true that Wrath was still overwhelming him now. But it wasn't to the extent that his neck would be blown off in one strike like in the past. He had to somehow clash with that guy and increase his experience against absolute beings. "You were overwhelmed by Uriel, weren't you?" Wrath tilted his chin as if telling him to recall Uriel whom he had met recently. "Yeah. I couldn't handle that guy yet." Raon honestly acknowledged Uriel's strength and lowered his eyebrows. "Let me tell you one thing you're mistaken about." Wrath straightened his back and extended his hand. "This king has torn off the wings of Uriel, whom you were defeated by and fled from." Intense light and cold energy that could blind one's eyes erupted from that guy's grip. Kuwaaaaaa! The massive explosion of frost that reached the sky made his breathing choke. 'That's...' Raon bit his lips tightly while looking at Wrath's cold energy rushing toward him at a terrifying speed. 'It's the Silver Aurora!' Wrath's ultimate technique Silver Aurora, which could freeze the world, exploded from that guy's grip. 'He said he'd fight seriously, but I didn't think he'd use his ultimate technique right away.' Although he had mentally prepared himself since Wrath said he would fight seriously, he didn't expect the Silver Aurora to burst out immediately. Cold sweat ran down his back from the presence of frost that was trying to cover his vision. No, the entire mental world. 'It's completely different.' There was a stark difference between seeing the Silver Aurora from behind and the scene of the Silver Aurora rushing before his eyes. Even though the cold energy hadn't reached him yet, he felt a chilling sensation as if his bones and flesh would all freeze. 'No.' Raon drew the Wooden Ring Sword with his left hand and bit his lips deeply. 'This is what I wanted!' No matter how much they were absolute beings who commanded dimensions beyond the continent, he didn't want to lose anymore. He would reach the same realm as them through life-risking cultivation. No, he would surpass those monsters. Uuuuuuung! Raon stepped forward with his left foot, raised the Heavenly Drive upward, and tilted the Wooden Ring Sword downward. The power of the vast sky and thrilling lightning dwelled on the blade of the Heavenly Drive, and the tip of the Wooden Ring Sword sparkled subtly like dawn mist covering the entire world. Kugugugugugu! Sky-Piercing Thunder's technique River Martial Lightning Strike and Raon Zieghart Style swordsmanship 8th Form Whispering Wind shot forth with red and blue light. Kuwaaaaaaaang! The cold energy that Wrath unleashed and the techniques imbued with Raon's full power collided, causing a massive shockwave and roar to explode that seemed enough to shatter the mental world. The cold energy and sword strikes repeated pushing and pulling like waves clashing in the sea, then slowly faded in midair as both exhausted their strength. "Hmm." Wrath let out a small exclamation as if he didn't expect him to block the Silver Aurora. "Not bad." That guy curled up the corners of his mouth as if finding it interesting and spread his grip from which even more intense blue cold energy bloomed. Kuwaaaaang! The Silver Aurora poured out from Wrath's hand for the second time. Consecutive ultimate techniques. That guy really seemed to want to freeze and kill him on the spot. Chiaaaang! Raon consecutively unleashed Fangs of Insanity and Blizzard Sword Art, which had grown rapidly from previous battles. The two swords created red and blue flashes and erected a wall embedded with beast claws. Kugugugugugugu! The Silver Aurora struck the sword barrier created by Fangs of Insanity and Blizzard Sword Art with an impact that shook heaven and earth. The wall made of aura cracked and shook as if it would break soon, but it didn't collapse until the end. Huuuuuk! In the end, this time too, Raon's sword strikes and Wrath's Silver Aurora melted away simultaneously without either gaining even a small advantage. Kwaaaaaa! Wrath launched the Silver Aurora for the third time as if he had expected the current result. True to being the Monarch of Wrath, it seemed he could unleash even ultimate techniques without the slightest delay. 'I'm dying over here though!' He too was launching techniques with full power, but the aftermath was different. Due to the difference in martial prowess, he couldn't block with leisure like Wrath. Uuuuuung! Raon barely managed to block Wrath's third Silver Aurora rushing like mad by utilizing the Ten Thousand Flames Cultivation techniques Thirty-Six Crimson Flash Techniques and Void Slash. "Heoook!" Raon stabbed the Heavenly Drive and Wooden Ring Sword into the ground and let out heavy breaths. 'I almost died.' Since this was the mental world, he probably wouldn't really die, but such violent shock swept through his body and mind that his breathing was cut off and he almost lost consciousness. If his mental strength and martial prowess hadn't become stronger by killing Sariel and fighting Uriel, he would have been swept away by Wrath's cold energy and frozen solid. 'That's...' Raon bit his lips while looking at Wrath standing perfectly fine on the ground where white steam and cold energy bloomed. 'He's a real monster.' The glutton and fool he had known no longer existed. What was before his eyes now was truly the king of the Devildom. "Certainly..." Wrath looked at him gasping for breath and arrogantly lifted his chin. "It seems you have become stronger." That guy twisted up the corners of his mouth, saying he didn't expect him to block the current attack. "I told you. That I should be able to fight now. And." Raon gripped the two swords stuck in the ground with force and nodded his head. "Sword Domain - Divine-Demonic Harmony." Unlike when using Divine-Demonic Harmony in reality, the sun and moon that were in the mental world came down on their own and were grasped in Raon's hands. The sun and moon in this world were themselves the Divine Sword and Demonic Sword of Divine-Demonic Harmony. "It will be even more different from now on." Divine-Demonic Harmony increased his overall martial prowess and mental strength. No matter how strong Wrath was, he should be able to match him somewhat. "Well, since the warm-up is over, this king will also fight properly now." Wrath drew a cool smile as if he hadn't started yet and raised his hand again. Kugugugugugu! As if his words about fighting properly weren't lies, the mental world began to twist and break from that guy's tremendous aura. "What...?" Raon swallowed dry saliva while looking at Wrath's transparently white hand. "Fight properly? You just used your ultimate technique." He trembled his chin while referring to using the ultimate technique Silver Aurora. "I don't know what you're talking about." Wrath chuckled and flicked his finger. "This king hasn't used his ultimate technique yet." That guy calmly raised his hand as if what he had used so far wasn't an ultimate technique. "What this king shot at you was merely cold energy infused with <Wrath>. Of course, it was full power." Wrath twisted his lips, saying he had merely thrown compressed cold energy infused with <Wrath>. "The real Silver Aurora is..." From that guy's grip, a light as vivid and brilliant as when the world was born erupted. Within the ecstatically beautiful light, cold energy so chilling and spine-tingling that it made one's heart sink bloomed gracefully like flower petals. "This!" Wrath burst into a cool laugh as if challenging him to try and take it, and unleashed cold energy that surged violently as if it would explode from his own grip. Kuwaaaaaaaaa! In an instant when it was hard to even exhale once. In that brief moment, the Silver Aurora had already covered this mental world. Seuuuuuu! Raon gripped the Divine Sword and Demonic Sword tightly while looking at the waves of blue cold energy rolling in, freezing even the sky, ground, and atmosphere. He wasn't thinking and then moving. The survival instincts he brought from his past life and the sword breathing he had built up in this life were moving him naturally. Raon Zieghart Style swordsmanship. 10th Form, True Sword. The true sword forged from Raon's life clashed with the demon king's ultimate technique. Kuuuuuung!
