The Reincarnated Assassin Is a Genius Swordsman

Chapter 1330 Chiaaaaang! Every time Raon swung the Heavenly Drive and Wooden Ring Sword, the swords that had been frozen by the cold energy and formed massive glaciers broke through the thick frost and emerged, seeping into his soul. Kwaaaaaa! Raon showed sharper movements as if recovering his martial prowess and martial arts realm each time he accepted a sword from the mental world imbued with swordsmanship. At this moment, as if a Sword God had descended upon him, he blocked Wrath's terrifying ultimate techniques with different swordsmanship each time. 'Right now...' Raon exhaled a breath mixed with the scent of blood as he raised his gaze. 'Crimson Slash and Revolving Sky would be good.' Gritting his teeth, he unfolded the Ten Thousand Flames Cultivation technique with two swords. A single sword strike that extended while rotating cut through the blue mist that Wrath had exhaled and opened a path forward. 'This works again.' Raon chuckled as he accepted the swords from the mental world that formed Crimson Slash and Revolving Sky. 'My mind is clear as if I was reborn.' Combinations of swordsmanship I never thought of keep coming to mind. Right now, he wasn't fighting simply with the power of swordsmanship or the amount of aura. The right tool for the right job. He was deflecting or blocking Wrath's techniques that showed stark differences in power and speed by maximizing only the advantages of each swordsmanship. (E/N: I feel like this is the 10th time since the beginning of the novel we are going through this realization) 'My body condition is getting better and better too.' Each time he unfolded new swordsmanship, the frozen swords from the mental world seeped into him and gave him vitality to fight. Rather, his body and mental state were better now than when he first entered this mental world. Thanks to this, even though he was injured and very exhausted, he was able to fight with Wrath until now. 'The Ring of Fire too...' Raon narrowed his eyes thinly while looking at the ring above the sky that was rotating after smashing all the frost. 'It's finally returned to its original state.' The Ring of Fire was also bound to this mental world, so it had been frozen by Wrath's cold energy until now. But as he fought desperately with Wrath, risking his life and struggling, it rotated very slowly and raised his focus and mental strength to the maximum. 'Is it because this is the last chance?' Raon curled up his lips long as he burned Wrath's cold energy pouring down like a storm with Ten Thousand Flames Cultivation Flame and Ice Unification. 'Everything I have. I feel like I can use all the power I've accumulated so far.' No matter how much of a genius one is, as long as they're human, they're bound to forget things they learned in the past as time passes. However, he never let go of his existing swordsmanship. From the basic swordsmanship he practiced every single day since becoming a trainee to the swordsmanship he directly created, he had continued to wield all of it, so now he could naturally unfold not only what he learned and mastered, but also swordsmanship he saw and understood with his eyes as if he had known it from the beginning. Chiaaaaang! Raon used all the swordsmanship existing in the mental world to accept all the frozen swords from the mental world into his soul. Countless swords were stuck in his soul, but strangely it didn't hurt, and was rather cool and refreshing. At this moment, he felt like he had become an almighty being who could do anything. 'The mental world has also fully recovered.' The mental world that had been broken and frozen by Wrath's cold energy and his own powerlessness was also slowly returning to its original form. The frozen sky melted away, and the cracked earth reconnected. However, only the blackened forest did not recover to its original state, and instead had an even thicker and darker mist covering it. "Really..." Wrath erased the cold energy scattered like mist and walked toward him. "You are a damn monster!" That guy chewed his red lips as if it was absurd. "Since you have talent and experience, I expected you could recover some power to some degree, but I never imagined you would restore everything to its original state!" Wrath trembled his lips as if he couldn't believe it even seeing it with his own eyes. "If you were an enemy, I would never give you a chance!" That guy furrowed his brow, saying the best method would be to use every means to kill him before he could grow. "It's thanks to you." Raon smiled faintly as he lowered the Heavenly Drive and Wooden Ring Sword. "Because you fought me seriously, I was able to think again about what kind of person I was." Wrath didn't go easy on him even though he had nothing left, and tried to kill him with full power. Thanks to that guy showing his sincerity, he too was able to struggle desperately to survive somehow and regain his original mental world, reviving his broken martial prowess and soul. "Thank you." Raon bowed his head to that guy with sincerity, just as Wrath had done. "Hmph! Don't talk nonsense!" Wrath snorted and waved his hand as if it was embarrassing to receive praise from him, but he couldn't hide his face turning slightly red. "Until now you might have been able to run away like a little mouse, but I won't go easy on you anymore!" That guy lowered his eyebrows as if anger was surging, but on the other hand, he was curling up his lips as if proud. "I'll end this boring fight here!" Wrath raised both his right and left hands simultaneously as if he wouldn't go easy anymore. A small frost storm arose from that guy's right hand, and blue light bloomed from his left hand. Though they looked small now, when that power was released, the demon king's ultimate techniques Silver Aurora and Snow Storm would unfold simultaneously and freeze everything in the vicinity. "Huuu..." Raon swallowed dry saliva as he felt the absolute energy rising from Wrath. 'This is the final test.' Wrath said it was boring and he would end it, but this was the final test that guy was giving him. Only by overcoming this could he defeat the heart demon and return to who he was before entering the mental world. Kwaaang! Wrath thrust his right foot forward and shot out two ultimate techniques simultaneously. A massive frost storm and blue light swept across the entire world. Kugugugugugugugu! The mental world that had barely been melted froze silver again, and a massive ice storm surged up. Everything in this world seemed to be consumed by Wrath's cold energy. Jjiik! Raon bit his lips deeply as he watched the frost storm that seemed to suck in his very soul and the waves of cold energy that rushed forward freezing heaven and earth. 'I need to wield all the countless swordsmanship I've wielded so far in a single strike.' The two ultimate techniques Wrath had unleashed now could neither be avoided nor blocked. The only way was to break through with the sword. 'Then...' Raon let go of the Wooden Ring Sword and gripped the Heavenly Drive with both hands. 'There's only one way.' He took a deep breath while thinking of the one martial art that could unfold all the swordsmanship he had learned in a single moment. Uuuuuuung! When he resonated the Ring of Fire to the extreme, the rings floating in the mental world made metallic sounds while rotating fiercely, forming a golden sphere like the sun. Chiaaaaang! Raon entered a world where light, sound, and time were erased as he raised the Heavenly Drive. An unprecedented golden radiance seeped into the silver blade. Sword Domain Heaven's Rift. All the swordsmanship Raon had built up as a swordsman seeped into the magnificent sword strike that opened a new sky. As each sword was added, the light of Heaven's Rift shone more brilliantly and became so intense that it reached the frost light of the demon king. Chwaaaaak! A sword that transcended the concept of swordsmanship cut through the blue frost and unfolded a magnificent radiance. But behind that blue frost, a storm that would devour the world continued. Jjijijijik! Even the brilliant light of Heaven's Rift was eventually consumed by the terrifying storm and slowly faded away. "That's fine." Wrath nodded calmly as if he thought this was the end. It seemed like he thought he had done well up to this point. "Not yet!" But he had no intention of giving up yet. He maintained Heaven's Rift with the Heavenly Drive while opening his upper dantian to the limit. Uuuuuuung! The Wooden Ring Sword that had fallen to the ground rose by itself, emitting a gentle yet graceful light as it soared into the sky filled with cold energy. Raon Zieghart Style swordsmanship. 10th Form: True Sword. The blade of a swordsman who realized what a true sword is shot through threads of willpower. The sharply flashing blue blade contained Raon's life as a swordsman. The sword imbued with all the swordsmanship learned as a swordsman and the blade infused with the soul of a true swordsman emitted different lights as they advanced and clashed with the frost storm that dominated heaven and earth. Jjeooooooong! Along with a roar that shook the world, indescribable light and waves burst forth. The trajectory of martial will that could never be captured by human eyes spread out like a watercolor painting. "Ha! Really, that crazy bastard!" "Ah..." Raon slowly fell backward while hearing Wrath's sound that he couldn't tell if it was admiration or a sigh. 'My final sword is truly...' He curled up his lips while looking at the two sword strikes that seemed to cut through the frost storm. 'Beautiful.' * * * "Huk!" Raon opened his eyes while exhaling violent breaths. "...My room?" A familiar white ceiling was visible. He touched his neck and chest out of habit. Perhaps because he had been revived too often in the mental world, he wasn't sure where this place really was. Gooooo! Raon resonated the Ring of Fire. Ten rings rotated simultaneously, telling him that this place where he was now was reality. "Hmm..." He slowly lowered his eyes and contemplated his own body and soul. There was no particular pain, and he didn't feel any broken parts of his mental image or soul. Fortunately, it seemed he had overcome the heart demon and escaped the mental world. "Haaa..." Raon let out a deep sigh and lowered his head. 'Fortunately, it seems I've overcome the heart demon.' He was anxious because it seemed he couldn't completely break through the ultimate technique Wrath unleashed at the end even after using Heaven's Rift and True Sword, but fortunately it seemed he had burned away the heart demon and returned to reality. 'Still, just in case...' Raon was about to examine his own condition in detail to erase his anxiety. -Tsk! Wrath clicked his tongue roughly and fell onto his head. -This crazy bastard! That guy showed intense anger as if something didn't please him. 'What's wrong?' Raon grabbed Wrath and brought him down while blinking his eyes. -How dare you! Wrath didn't explain, but being filled with irritation, he ground his teeth loudly while looking at him. 'Why are you like this?' -Grr, it's nothing! That guy got angry to his heart's content, then snorted without explaining as if it was nothing special. 'Really a strange guy.' Raon let out a hollow laugh and shook his head. 'You helped me, so why are you angry?' He couldn't understand why Wrath was suddenly angry after fighting to help him recover the mental world again. -Who helped! And... Wrath let out a groan as if in pain and lowered his eyebrows. -This king wanted you to return to your original state, not to become stronger! That guy ground his teeth as if he had become stronger than when he entered the mental world. 'I became stronger?' Raon blinked while looking at Wrath. 'Is that really true?' He was a bit flustered because he still didn't feel like he had become stronger. -That's what I'm saying! It's probably more than what you wanted! Wrath trembled his jaw as if it was absurd. -Always exceeding expectations... That guy was wrinkling his nose bridge saying he was really annoyed now. [You have overcome an extreme situation.] [You have experienced countless killings and deaths.] [You have achieved a great achievement.] [All ability scores increase by 99 points.] [New trait <Death...] [Trait...] The system immediately gave out rewards as if it knew what had happened in the mental world. -Huh...? Wrath gaped while looking at the message. -No, no, is the system really crazy! Why is it taking care of things that happened inside this guy's head! That guy screamed that this didn't make sense. 'Is this also something that exceeds expectations?' Raon blinked while looking at Wrath. He wasn't quite in his right mind yet, so he couldn't quite understand what was happening. -Shut uuup! There's no point in helping this guy! Wrath spewed out a lot of irritation along with fountain-like saliva. 'I'm joking. Thank... huh?' Raon froze as he was about to thank Wrath while examining the message. 'What is that? I'm getting that trait?'
