The Reincarnated Assassin Is a Genius Swordsman

Chapter 1347 -Why the hell! Wrath raised his round hands toward the sky. -Did this damned world give birth to the King, and also give birth to this damned brat, just to make me give everything away! The guy now showed the spectacle of resenting the world beyond the system. 'Phew, here we go again.' Raon ignored Wrath and carefully checked the reward message. [You have pushed back the pinnacle of the Continent with your own martial arts.] [You have achieved a great achievement.] [All ability scores increase by 20 points.] [The rank of trait <Heaven Kill> increases.] [The rank of trait <Crisis Detection> increases.] [The rank of trait <Wrath Release> increases.] [The rank of trait <Authority Enhancement> increases.] [The rank of trait <Authority Manipulation> increases.] [The rank of trait <death aura> increases.] [The rank of trait <Flame Overcoming Death> increases.] 'Hmm?' Raon narrowed his eyes looking at the point values. 'The traits aside, the points are less than I expected?' No matter that it was a possessed state, he had inflicted damage on the Heavenly Demon, so he didn't expect to receive only 20 points. The lower than expected number made him tilt his head. -Hmph! Wrath snorted seeing his expression. -Why do you think? It's because you've grown that much! The guy nodded as if it was natural. 'Because I've grown?' -That's right. Wrath raised his round hand. -If you as a Transcendent had cut the Heavenly Demon, it wouldn't be strange for hundreds of points to go up. But your current realm is absolute. In other words! The guy tapped his forehead with his raised hand. -It means that the current you is approaching even that Heavenly Demon. Wrath lowered his eyebrows, saying that while he couldn't defeat the Heavenly Demon, he was climbing the mountain of martial arts that he pursued together with him. 'I see.' Raon drew a faint smile while looking at the points. 'Hearing that, I feel good even though the points are few.' Not only by the Heavenly Demon, but it seemed like his current realm was recognized by the system as well, so he felt good despite seeing lower points than usual. -Hmph! You'd better smile a lot now. Wrath smacked his lips lengthily. -Since that system bastard finally got a conscience, you won't be able to get points easily from now on... 'It's fine.' Raon firmly shook his head. 'Because there are still things I haven't checked yet.' [You have overcome an extreme situation.] [You have achieved a great achievement.] [All ability scores increase by 50 points.] [A new trait <death aura> is created.] [The rank of trait <death aura> increases.] [The rank of trait <Askara's Fighting Spirit> increases.] [The rank of trait <Crisis Detection> increases. [The rank of trait <Spirit Transformation> increases. [The rank of trait <Soul Sword> increases.] [The rank of trait <Blood Path> increases.] [The rank of trait <Death Energy Detection> increases.] [The rank of trait <Flame Overcoming Death> increases.] -Huh... Wrath gaped his mouth open looking at the reward message. -Th, this is! 'This is the reward I got after being tormented by you in the mental world.' Raon grinned. 'I was so flustered by the <death aura> trait that I just now remembered I didn't check the other rewards.' The reward that appeared before his eyes now was the reward he hadn't checked after awakening from the mental world before. 'I had forgotten, but thank you.' Raon waved his hand at Wrath with a grin. -Grrrr! Wrath's head turned red as if anger was rising again. -This damn bastard! '20 points was indeed little. Since I'm getting an additional 50 points. I definitely feel like I'm getting stronger.' Since his point values were already quite high, he didn't feel much when 20 points increased. But when he received an additional 50 points, he clearly felt his body and soul changing. 'Looking at the traits, <death aura> became 2-star immediately, and the rank of <Flame Overcoming Death> also increased.' Dying many times in the mental world seemed to have had a really big impact. At this level, it seemed like he could go to that world once more and fight with Wrath. -I absolutely! Absolutely refuse! Wrath firmly shook his head, saying he would absolutely not help this time. 'Well, whatever.' Raon chuckled and waved his hand. 'Actually, I don't have time for that now.' The war with Eden had really approached right before their eyes. At such an important time when he had to manage himself and the Light Wind Palace, he couldn't do selfish actions not knowing when he would wake up. 'But...' Raon narrowed his eyes as he raised death aura above his palm. 'Why did the rank of death aura increase as today's reward?' Today he hadn't killed anyone, hadn't been killed, and hadn't used death aura, yet mysteriously the rank of death aura had increased. It was already 3-star. -Huh? That's right? Wrath opened his eyes wide. -That pathetic priest bastard was killed by that snake bastard! The guy also shook his head saying he didn't understand. 'Death. death aura...' Raon lowered his eyebrows looking at the death aura burning much more intensely than before. 'No way?' * * * "Kuhheuk!" The Silent Serpent Swordsman fell to his knees and spewed out dark red liquid. "Kuaaaaaaak!" He screamed a tearing scream while clutching his chest as if feeling terrible pain. "Hey, the promise is different!" The Silent Serpent Swordsman gritted his teeth while groaning deeply. "Y, you! You deliberately took Raon Zieghart's sword..." "That's not it." From above his head came a low voice so heavy it seemed like it would crush souls. Gooooooo. Heavenly Demon. The pinnacle of martial arts whom the world had given the epithet of a demon ascending to heaven firmly shook his head. "Raon Zieghart's sword certainly worked on me." The Heavenly Demon calmly lowered his chin, saying that even if it was his main body, it would have been wounded. "I, is that really true?" The Silent Serpent Swordsman widened his eyes as if he had never expected it, even in the pain of having his flesh torn away. "That's right." The Heavenly Demon honestly admitted that despite being a martial artist called the pinnacle of the Continent, he had been bested by Raon. "The current Raon Zieghart is different from the child you saw here. He has become a martial artist for whom the epithet Sword Sage is not the least bit wasted." He closed and opened his eyes, saying that the current Raon was a strong person whom even he acknowledged. "..." The Silent Serpent Swordsman put his head to the ground again and let out an empty breath. "I, impossible. It hasn't been that long since Raon Zieghart came to Paradise..." He bit his lips tightly, saying he couldn't believe it even after hearing the Heavenly Demon's words. "Martial artists can change overnight. It's common for someone I defeated yesterday to beat me today." The Heavenly Demon shook his head, saying Raon's change wasn't that strange. "You who try to mock the world with just your innate martial prowess without any effort wouldn't understand." He didn't blink an eye as if it was natural that the Silent Serpent Swordsman couldn't understand Raon's change. "Ugh..." The Silent Serpent Swordsman bit his lips as if his chest ached from the Heavenly Demon's reproachful words. "You said you would still be alive after the war ended, didn't you?" The Heavenly Demon slowly closed and opened his eyes, recalling what the Silent Serpent Swordsman had said before. "In your current state, you will absolutely not survive. Instead of you, Hydra will be released and run rampant. Of course, you won't be able to see that." He calmly nodded as if already imagining a situation where the Silent Serpent Swordsman would die and Hydra would emerge. "S, surely the great Heavenly Demon doesn't need that Hydra's power! The life-and-death duel with the Destructive King of the North has already been arranged..." The Silent Serpent Swordsman raised his trembling hands as if wanting to live. "You're right. I need neither your power nor Hydra's violence. But..." The Heavenly Demon firmly shook his head looking at the Silent Serpent Swordsman's trembling eyes. "Falling out of the war is not permissible. Eden must participate in the war without a single one missing, for the god of destruction." "Grrrgh..." The Silent Serpent Swordsman bit his lips deeply, feeling his last chance had disappeared. "I've kept my promise by letting you live." The Heavenly Demon turned his back looking at the Silent Serpent Swordsman's slowly healing chest wound. "Try your last desperate struggle before the war. Although there isn't much time left." He left those words and went down the hill where Eden's landscape was visible. Kuuuuung! The Silent Serpent Swordsman hit the ground with his powerless fist. "F, fine. Let's see about that." He twisted his bleeding lips and lifted his chin. "I'll show you who survives to the end!" * * * "They've definitely changed." Viking Chieftain Bjorn let out an empty breath looking at the dueling grounds. "It seems our warriors have become more clever in their fighting after sparring with the Light Wind Palace Swordsmen." He drew a proud smile while observing the warriors who had changed over the past week. "The sparring with the warriors was also a great help to us." Raon shook his head while responding to Bjorn's words. "The Light Wind Palace guys also realized how to fight against those with better stamina and physique." The basic level of martial arts was higher for the Light Wind Palace Swordsmen, but the Viking warriors were superior in physique and stamina as martial artists. Since time was short, the swordsmen and warriors conducted sparring that maximized their respective advantages rather than compensating for their weaknesses, and both sides achieved great results. 'At this level...' Raon smacked his lips watching the movements of the Light Wind Palace Swordsmen. 'It should work on Angels too.' Angels are basically a race with incomparably strong stamina and excellent physique compared to humans. On top of that, they use mysterious abilities based on Divine power, making them extremely difficult for ordinary swordsmen to handle. However, the Light Wind Palace had gone through many trials through himself, and this time by dueling with Viking warriors, they learned how to deal with those with superior physique and stamina, so they should be able to handle Angels sufficiently. -To create change in just one week, those guys have really grown a lot. Wrath drew a gentle smile looking at the Light Wind Palace Swordsmen. -Well, since they endured that hell training of yours, is it natural? The guy nodded, saying that if they could complete his exhaustion training, it was natural to create such changes. 'No, everyone worked hard.' The Light Wind Palace Swordsmen didn't let their guard down even when facing Vikings weaker than themselves, and always did their best. Seeing how they suppressed their power and fought while still somehow looking for opportunities, they would certainly be able to play their role in the upcoming war. "Now we should head back." Raon stood up from his chair looking at Dorian and Knut who had finished their last duel. "A, are you leaving right away?" Bjorn let out a low groan as he stood up. "We were planning to hold a festival tomorrow..." He bit his lips as if asking what to do if they left while he was preparing a festival. "It's regrettable, but there isn't much time left now." Raon let out a thin breath looking at the darkened sky. Festivals were nice, but preparing for war was the priority now. -They prepared it! It's polite to at least taste it before leaving! Wrath grabbed his shoulder as if regretful. 'Food wasn't even mentioned.' Raon snorted, telling him not to pretend to think about Bjorn. -Grgh... Wrath let out a pained groan as if hit right on target. "Next time. I'll definitely participate after the war ends." Raon smiled brightly while speaking of after the war. "Sigh, then it can't be helped." Bjorn felt that Raon's words meant to meet alive after the war ended and nodded heavily. "However, there's something I really want you to see, Lord Raon." He lowered his eyebrows, saying he had originally planned to speak after the festival ended. "Something you want me to see?" Raon tilted his head. He had no idea what Bjorn was talking about. "Yes. The golden flame and swordsmanship that Lord Raon showed." Bjorn heavily lowered his chin looking at the Heavenly Drive hanging at Raon's waist. "That also remains on this island."
