The Reincarnated Assassin Is a Genius Swordsman

Chapter 1345 It was the moment when Raon's briskly unleashed Flash-sword Technique was about to tear and slice the Silent Serpent Swordsman's neck. Whoooosh! The Silent Serpent Swordsman hastily retreated and avoided the Heavenly Drive's blade by a paper-thin margin. "Wow..." He let out an exclamation while looking at Raon. "I didn't know you would really try to kill me?" The Silent Serpent Swordsman let out heavy breaths, saying he didn't think Raon would immediately aim for his neck. "Ha!" Martha snorted while watching that scene. "You said you wanted to die, but you're running away without even tucking your tail?" She waved her hand, saying she had seen through the Silent Serpent Swordsman's bluffing from the start. "I really didn't expect you would actually kill me." The Silent Serpent Swordsman stroked his chest, saying he still had goosebumps. "Your Palace Master must have very big guts." He rubbed his fingers as if much was at stake with his own life. "He was just full of bluffs." Burren frowned as if just looking at the Silent Serpent Swordsman was annoying. "Hoo..." Runaan gripped her sword tightly as if she wanted to fight the Silent Serpent Swordsman herself. "That movement..." Raon parted his lips while recalling the Silent Serpent Swordsman's movement that barely avoided the Heavenly Drive. "Is it the Heavenly Demon?" He had swung his sword in a trajectory that the Silent Serpent Swordsman couldn't avoid, but he had evaded his sword strike by showing movements similar to the Heavenly Demon. No matter how much he thought about it, only the Heavenly Demon's footwork came to mind. "Huh?" The Silent Serpent Swordsman gaped his mouth open as if he couldn't believe it. "You read the Heavenly Demon's martial arts just by seeing one of my backward steps?" He let out a hollow laugh, saying it made no sense. "Because I've seen the Heavenly Demon's movements before." Raon nodded, saying it was a movement similar to the temperament the Heavenly Demon possessed. "This is really absurd. That's right. The footwork I used just now is the Heavenly Demon's footwork." The Silent Serpent Swordsman nodded, confirming that he had indeed used the Heavenly Demon's footwork. "Were you also the Heavenly Demon's disciple?" Raon narrowed his eyes while scanning the Silent Serpent Swordsman's presence that felt completely opposite to the Heavenly Demon's temperament. "Ah, that's not it." The Silent Serpent Swordsman shook his head firmly. "We're just in a relationship where we have things to give and take from each other." He smiled, saying he was showing respect to the Heavenly Demon in his own way. "But you're also really crazy. To figure out the Heavenly Demon's footwork just by seeing my movement once. You haven't even properly seen the Heavenly Demon's martial arts." The Silent Serpent Swordsman tilted his head, saying he couldn't understand Raon's perceptiveness. "I just saw it, that's all." Raon shook his chin, saying it wasn't such a big deal. "Anyone can do it if they reach the Absolute realm." He wasn't being modest, but actually thought that way. -I, I didn't know... Wrath scratched his cheek, saying he hadn't even thought about things like the Heavenly Demon's movements. "Since you answered that you used the Heavenly Demon's footwork, I also have something I want to ask you." The Silent Serpent Swordsman licked his lips and nodded his chin. "You really were trying to kill me..." He smiled while touching his neck where Raon's sword had lightly grazed. "What were you planning to do after that?" The Silent Serpent Swordsman shrugged his shoulders as if asking whether he could handle the worst monster that would emerge after his death, Hydra. "Hydra?" Raon let out a sneer while looking at the Silent Serpent Swordsman's distorted eyes. "Do I need to worry about such a thing?" He said that something like Hydra would have no effect on him at all and arrogantly raised his chin. "Huh? Kahahahahaha!" The Silent Serpent Swordsman burst into mad laughter while gripping the black serpent helmet on his head. "You're serious! You're a complete madman! Absolutely arrogant beyond compare!" He breathed heavily, saying he could feel madness from Raon that exceeded even his own. -Haa... Wrath let out a long sigh. -I agree with that too. He shook his head back and forth, saying there was no madman like himself even in the Devildom. "Ah, this wasn't part of the plan? Things have gotten really twisted." Despite saying things had gotten twisted, the Silent Serpent Swordsman didn't erase his smile. "I was thinking of running away while bluffing, but it doesn't seem like it will work at all." He licked his lips, saying he would have to think about how to escape. "That guy never intended to die from the beginning!" Martha wrinkled her nose bridge, saying she knew it would be like that. "He's just as he appears - full of bluffs and pranks." Burren put strength into his grip as if feeling disgust toward the Silent Serpent Swordsman. "I have my own circumstances too." The Silent Serpent Swordsman waved his hand, saying not to view him too badly. "As I am a Transcendent, I should try my best to escape!" He said he would escape with all his might and drew the sword from his waist. It was a sword with an eerie light, with a blade that gleamed jet black like a black serpent. "Hoooo." The Silent Serpent Swordsman warmed up his body lightly as if telling them to chase him, then crushed the ground and ran toward the direction of the sea. Paaaaaaang! He used his footwork at a terrifying speed without looking back, as if trying to escape by stepping on the sea. "What, what! Is he really running away right now?" "What kind of Transcendent!" "Hmm..." Martha, Burren, and Runaan also widened their eyes in surprise. "Aren't, aren't you going to catch him?" Krein stamped his feet, saying shouldn't they go after the Silent Serpent Swordsman right now. "No." Raon shook his head firmly. "He's here." He lowered his eyes and swung the Heavenly Drive down toward the empty air where nothing was visible. Chaaaaaack! The space where the Heavenly Drive's blade fell split apart, and the chest of the Silent Serpent Swordsman hiding behind it was slashed lengthwise. "Kuaaaak!" The Silent Serpent Swordsman let out an intense groan while clutching his chest from which blood was dripping. "How, how..." He swallowed dryly, saying he didn't know how Raon had found him. "I've fought against The Fallen and the Leader of the White Blood Religion, who could be called masters of magic. To use such crude magic in front of me..." Raon let out a sneer while looking at the flustered Silent Serpent Swordsman. "You're the one who's arrogant beyond compare." The Silent Serpent Swordsman had pretended to escape to the sea while using magic to hide his real body behind space. He might be able to deceive others, but he could never deceive his eyes. "Ha! This has become absolutely damn troublesome." The Silent Serpent Swordsman let out a hollow laugh and licked his blood-flowing lips with his tongue. "Good! From now on, I'll fight you properly." He raised his sword in front of his chest as if he had no choice now. "You're going to fight?" Raon twisted his chin sideways. "Whether you fight or run away, the result is already determined." He said he could kill the Silent Serpent Swordsman no matter what he did and raised the Heavenly Drive. "Raon Zieghart. You've developed eyes and a sword that are absolutely arrogant beyond compare." The Silent Serpent Swordsman's chin trembled as if overwhelmed by the momentum created by Raon and his sword. "Those aren't the eyes of a Sword Sage, but eyes that suit the name of Overlord!" He gave Raon the epithet of Overlord and kicked the ground. -Are you really planning to kill that guy? Wrath furrowed his eyebrows as if worried. -When that Hydra appears... 'It's better for it to appear now than during a war.' Raon said that if Hydra appeared, he would just cut off all its heads and put strength into his fingertips. "Good! Kill me!" The Silent Serpent Swordsman shouted to kill him as much as he wanted and thrust his sword toward Raon's neck. His eyes clearly had some other intention. "Don't worry." Raon lightly deflected the Silent Serpent Swordsman's sword strike that surpassed Transcendence by slightly turning his shoulder, then without hesitation swung down the Heavenly Drive. Kwaaaaaaaa! An absolute sword strike that the Silent Serpent Swordsman could never react to. The Ten Thousand Flames Cultivation technique, which could cut through an entire island and still have power left, fell gracefully like a sunset-tinted tidal wave. "Beautiful." The Silent Serpent Swordsman curled his lips up long while looking at Raon's sword that brought death. "Yes. If it's this much..." He curled his lips up long as if there was still a chance and crushed the black serpent helmet on his face with his own hands. Kwaddeuddeuk! The moment the jaw part of the serpent helmet the Silent Serpent Swordsman was wearing was smashed, a terrifying aura burst out from his grip holding the helmet fragments. Kwaddeuddeuddeuk! The crimson aura wrapped around the Silent Serpent Swordsman and perfectly blocked Raon's magnificently falling sword strike. "The Heavenly Demon..." Raon slightly twisted his chin while looking at the Silent Serpent Swordsman wrapped in crimson aura. "It seems he cherishes you quite a bit." The dark aura that blocked his sword now was the Heavenly Demon's. It seemed like the Heavenly Demon was watching this place right now. "It's not cherishing... Kehup!" The Silent Serpent Swordsman was letting out a relieved laugh as if he had survived, when he suddenly let out an intense groan and clutched his own head. "Are, are you coming directly? It's such an honor... Ah." His frivolous voice changed rapidly, and a heavy voice that couldn't be any lower flowed out. "Raon Zieghart." Raon's name flowed from the Silent Serpent Swordsman's mouth. However, it wasn't the Silent Serpent Swordsman who was saying that name. "Is it the Heavenly Demon..." Raon bit his lips and mentioned the epithet Heavenly Demon. The terrifying presence the Silent Serpent Swordsman was showing now was definitely not something an ordinary person could create. 'To emit this much aura just by being connected through magic...' The Heavenly Demon hadn't even descended directly, but was just borrowing the Silent Serpent Swordsman's body to speak, yet chills rose all over his body and his heart felt tightly squeezed. Indeed, the phrase "pinnacle of the Continent" wasn't said for nothing. -Hmph! He's still inferior to me! Wrath snorted, saying if he had done it, he would have shown a much more impressive sight than the current Heavenly Demon. "Why are you interfering?" Raon nodded his chin while looking at the Heavenly Demon borrowing the Silent Serpent Swordsman's body. "Seeing how you left him like this, doesn't it mean it doesn't matter if he dies?" He furrowed his brow, saying not to interfere since he had let the Silent Serpent Swordsman loose. "It doesn't matter if he dies." The Heavenly Demon nodded calmly as if it didn't matter whether the Silent Serpent Swordsman died. "But why..." "Because there's a vow between the Silent Serpent Swordsman and me." He narrowed his eyes, saying there was a promise to keep between himself and the Silent Serpent Swordsman. It seemed that the Silent Serpent Swordsman breaking his own helmet was that signal. "So you saved him?" Raon furrowed his brow while looking at the Heavenly Demon speaking through the Silent Serpent Swordsman's body. "This matter is different from previous ones." The Heavenly Demon lowered his hand and touched the Silent Serpent Swordsman's wound that was still bleeding. "Since this island isn't yours, there's no price I have to pay." He shook his head heavily as if there was no problem with him interfering. "That's true." Raon acknowledged the Heavenly Demon's words and briefly licked his lips. "So are you saying you'll try to kill me instead?" Right now, the Heavenly Demon was emitting an aura that matched his own despite not being his true body. If he became serious, both himself and the Light Wind Palace would inevitably be in danger. "..." The Heavenly Demon didn't answer immediately and slowly looked around. "No. I'm just planning to take the Silent Serpent Swordsman and return." As he lowered his hand saying he would disappear without doing anything, a crimson door opened behind him. It seemed to be a Dimensional Gate leading to Eden. "I didn't know that the Heavenly Demon, called the pinnacle of Martial Will, would also be skilled in magic." Raon snorted while looking at the Dimensional Gate the Heavenly Demon had opened. "This isn't my magic." The Heavenly Demon shook his head firmly, saying neither the Dimensional Gate nor his descent into the Silent Serpent Swordsman was his own magic. True to the Heavenly Demon's character, he didn't hide the information that there was a Shaman capable of wielding transcendent-level magic. "The next time we meet will be on a battlefield." The Heavenly Demon nodded after confirming that the Dimensional Gate had fully opened. "No." Raon sheathed the Heavenly Drive when the Heavenly Demon was about to enter the Dimensional Gate. "You'll be buried by grandfather's sword, so we won't meet again." He declared that Glenn would defeat the Heavenly Demon and shook his chin. "Is that so." The Heavenly Demon answered calmly and just as he put both feet into the Dimensional Gate, Raon stepped his left foot forward. "You said you wouldn't kill me, but..." Raon bent his waist while gripping the Heavenly Drive in its sheath. "I have no intention of letting the Silent Serpent Swordsman live." He spoke of the Silent Serpent Swordsman's death and drew the Heavenly Drive. The silver flickering blade pushed light and space to their limits. Karoon's Drawing Technique. The swordsmanship of the formidable enemy who had threatened him extended toward the Silent Serpent Swordsman's chest. Peoooooook! The silver sword strike that pierced through space-time in an instant ultimately created a black hole in the chest of the Silent Serpent Swordsman, where the Heavenly Demon's soul resided, before the Heavenly Demon could react. Woooooong! Since the Heavenly Demon had already put his foot into the Dimensional Gate, his lower body was already being sucked into the dimension, while blood spurted from his upper body like a fountain. "An excellent sword." Despite being struck by Raon, the Heavenly Demon praised his swordsmanship with sincere eyes. "From your declaration that you would kill the Silent Serpent Swordsman in front of me to your current drawing technique. Nothing is lacking." He let out an intense exclamation, saying he was amazed by Raon. "Before, you seemed not to know what pride was, but now you seem to have found your path." The Heavenly Demon stroked his chin as if he didn't know Raon would become strong this quickly. "It's regrettable. Your sword certainly hit, but since I'm currently inside the Silent Serpent Swordsman's body, he absolutely won't die." He let out a faint smile as if he would like to die if possible because Raon's sword strike was so amazing. "The next time we meet, we can truly exchange moves." The Heavenly Demon calmly lowered his eyes as if saying see you next time and entered the crimson Dimensional Gate. "Kueuk!" Raon let out a heavy breath and bent his waist. 'Just confronting the Heavenly Demon's soul is dizzying.' Perhaps because he had sincerely extended his sword toward the Heavenly Demon, his whole body was drenched in sweat even though they hadn't properly fought. Indeed, the pinnacle of the Continent was on a different level. -Crazy, crazy bastard! Wrath came down and repeatedly patted his shoulder. -When, when did you learn that sword technique! The guy screamed, asking how he had deployed Karoon's sword technique. 'I kept practicing.' Karoon's Drawing Technique had left such a deep impression that he had swung his sword without even sleeping to make it his own. Seeing that it worked on the Heavenly Demon, even if not his true body, it seemed to have reached a certain level. -To think you'd try to take that for yourself, you're really an impossible guy! Wrath shook his head in disbelief. -You could say you're arrogance itself... It was when the guy evaluated him as arrogant for the first time. [The trait <Pride> is unlocked.] A message appeared before Raon's eyes saying that 'Pride' was being unlocked.
