The Reincarnated Assassin Is a Genius Swordsman

Chapter 1367 The two absolute beings stood at the center of the plain and unleashed their respective martial arts that they had built up over decades. Zzzerrrrrack! Glenn wrapped red lightning sharpened through enlightenment around Heavenly Tremor's blade and sliced through heaven and earth, while the Heavenly Demon filled his firm fist with fighting spirit steeped in arrogance and tore through the atmosphere. Kuwoong! Kuuuwoong! Kugugugugwoong! Every time Glenn's sword and the Heavenly Demon's fist collided, thunderous roars that seemed to collapse the world and heavy shockwaves that could pierce souls rang out repeatedly. The earth's axis twisted as the ground surface overturned here and there across Cameloon Plain, and sword-red lava-like substances also erupted. The Heavenly Demon and Glenn swung sword and fist with their gazes focused solely on their enemy, as if it didn't matter at all that the sky was breaking and the earth was collapsing. However, there was still no effect on the people of the Five Kings alliance and Eden's ghosts remaining in the sword-red dimension. This meant that the two absolute beings were still controlling their true martial power. "It's a sword that has reached perfection." The Heavenly Demon blocked Glenn's sword strike with his right fist while letting out an exclamation. "I can feel that you've ground your life into this day!" He cried out that it was moving and extended a fist that vibrated the atmosphere. "Ruling Fist." Glenn deflected the Heavenly Demon's fist strike while narrowing his eyes. "What an incomparably arrogant fist." He also curled his lips in admiration of the Heavenly Demon's martial power in a different sense. "Kahahahahaha!" The Heavenly Demon burst into mad laughter while clenching his left fist. Blazing mana. The mana in the atmosphere was being sucked into his fist and evaporating. Paaaaang! The Heavenly Demon thrust his left fist toward Glenn's head. Due to his intense fighting spirit, the air began to boil and thick flames erupted in mid-air. It looked like witnessing summoning magic that brought hell to the mortal world. "How long are you going to just watch?" Glenn lightly swung his right hand holding Heavenly Tremor as if chasing away a bird. A single bolt of lightning dwelling in Heavenly Tremor shot out like a flash and seared away the flames the Heavenly Demon had summoned. "Still far from enough!" The Heavenly Demon shot out another fist strike compressed with mana as if that wasn't enough. Scorching mana erupted explosively, covering all directions of heaven and earth with sword-red flames. "That degree is insufficient." Glenn clicked his tongue briefly while slowly raising Heavenly Tremor. The moment the blade tip that had been pointing toward the ground pierced the sky, the sword-red flames filling his view were torn apart by crimson lightning. "As expected, Glenn Zieghart!" The Heavenly Demon didn't erase the smile hanging on his lips even though his fist strike had melted away. "The title of Sword God suits only you!" He raised his fist while putting strength only in his fingertips. Air and mana vibrated, producing an eerie sound like thousands of people screaming. "Demon Praise." The Heavenly Demon thrust out a fist strike that meant to praise demons. Along the path his fist extended, sword-red malice descended upon the quiet plain. Black flames erupted over the fields that had been peaceful for a thousand years, covering heaven and earth. This wasn't an illusion. It was hell's manifestation created by the Heavenly Demon with fighting spirit and fists. Kwaaaaaaa! The moment a tsunami of flames made of fighting spirit was about to engulf Glenn. Heavenly Tremor rose nobly. "Ascending Thunder." Glenn murmured low. From Heavenly Tremor raised with movements so gentle they wouldn't even create waves on a calm lake, chilling lightning surged forth. Pajijijijijik! Under the lightning bolt ascending like a divine dragon, the fighting spirit flames that had tried to reach the sky subsided. However, the spectacle Glenn's lightning created wasn't the end. Kugugugugugu! Dark clouds rose in the clear sky and brought rain. The fighting spirit flames that had been burning the fields perfectly died down under that rainwater. Just as the Heavenly Demon had caused a tsunami of fire with his fist, Glenn had summoned a storm with a single sword. The two absolute beings were breaking down the boundaries between magic and shamanism with martial arts. Seuuuuuu! This time Glenn took the initiative first. He positioned Heavenly Tremor at middle guard in front of his energy center as if learning swordsmanship for the first time. The middle guard stance of the martial artist called Sword God was so graceful it was beyond beautiful to the point of being ecstatic, and seemed like it wouldn't be shaken by any turbulence. "Azure Sky Dance." Along with Glenn's murmur, Heavenly Tremor's blade tip moved minutely. It was a tremor difficult to notice if not watched carefully, but the result was different. Paaaaang! The spot where the Heavenly Demon had been standing was gouged out in a semicircle, piercing through his fighting spirit. Looking at how roughly the surroundings were carved, it was a mark as if cut with a giant saw blade. "Interesting!" The Heavenly Demon had retreated to the left to avoid Glenn's invisible sword strike, but let out an exclamation of amazement. "Try to turn this body into a honeycomb!" He twisted his lips long as if telling him to continue using Azure Sky Sword while charging at Glenn. Kugugugugugu! Flames of fighting spirit wrapped around the Heavenly Demon's rock-like body. He charged at the speed of light while wrapped in sword-red flames like a meteor falling from space. Wuuuuuuwoong! Glenn moved his sword technique once more in the same initial stance. Brilliant radiance erupted over Heavenly Tremor's blade as lightning sharp to an eerie degree shot forth. Kuwaaaaang! The Heavenly Demon's body wrapped in fighting spirit flames and Heavenly Tremor dwelling with true lightning collided once more, and the world's light was sucked between them. Just before the world turned black and white, a terrifying explosion occurred between the Heavenly Demon and Heavenly Tremor, shaking heaven and earth. Jijijijijijijik! Sword-red sparks and red lightning erupted in all directions while magma that could melt everything and more burst forth from the peaceful earth, forming red rivers. The Heavenly Demon and Glenn clashed sword and fist countless times above those red rivers. Every time sword and fist collided, the resulting shockwaves caused pitch-black cracks to continuously appear in mid-air, creating a surreal spectacle. "Heavenly Thunder Dance." Glenn calmly drew breath while raising Heavenly Tremor above his head. The sword god's high guard stance. The posture of a martial artist who had refined his swordsmanship while looking only at the sky was sharp enough to cut one's eyes just by watching. "Demon Bullet God." The Heavenly Demon smiled at the chilling aura emanating from Glenn's sword while clenching his fist. In the peculiar stance with right foot forward and left hand at his head, one could feel heaviness like a great mountain and arrogant spirit that placed the world beneath his feet. Glenn and the Heavenly Demon didn't move while looking into each other's eyes. They seemed to be waiting for that momentary instant when they could break their opponent. When magma exploded once more and red sparks flew in all directions, the two absolute beings moved. And. The two people disappeared simultaneously. All that remained were the red light trajectories left by the Heavenly Demon and Glenn. * * * "Wha, what..." Krein trembled his jaw while looking at the red lightning trajectories thickly remaining in mid-air. "Whe, where did the head of house go?" Dorian also swallowed dry saliva as if he couldn't understand. "I couldn't see anything at all..." Burren bit his lips as if feeling frustrated with his own eyesight. "Are those martial artists who've reached the pinnacle of the absolute realm? Unbelievable..." Martha shook her head side to side, saying it was martial power hard to believe even while watching. "I want to see it again..." Runaan slowly nodded as if she had felt more than others, befitting a transcendent. "Gl, Glenn will be alright, right?" "He's the Sword God! No need for worry!" "The Heavenly Demon did look too strong though. The ground collapsed with just one punch..." "The head of house's sword was stronger!" The martial artists of the Five Kings alliance swallowed dry saliva as if worried about Glenn after seeing the Heavenly Demon's majesty. However, the Zieghart swordsmen including Light Wind Palace trusted Glenn extremely, so they absolutely didn't speak about his safety. "It's the head of house's choice." Raon looked around at the trembling swordsmen while calmly exhaling. "Since he cannot reveal his true martial power here, the head of house has moved to another location with the Heavenly Demon." His voice was small and low, but it naturally reached the ears of the Five Kings alliance martial artists. "This is according to plan, so there's no need to panic." Raon calmly nodded while recalling Glenn's words to take care of Zieghart. "So that when he returns, Zieghart's flag can flutter here..." Raon spoke of both Glenn's victory and the Five Kings' victory while looking at Eden's ghosts who were opening dimensional gates and walking out. "Annihilate the enemies!" Raon drew Heavenly Drive while issuing supreme orders to Zieghart's swordsmen. "We receive the command!" The swordsmen drew their swords and let out battle cries burning with fighting spirit, saying they would follow the orders of the young head Raon even at the cost of their lives. "Uaaaaaaaaa!" Whether the Beast King had given the same command, roars that shook the ground also erupted from the Beast Union. "Huuu..." Owen Kingdom calmly emanated sword aura befitting a nation of knights. The third prince. No, Greer who had now become king seemed to have inherited even the Silent Sword Master's spirit. "Let's smash them all!" Instead, the magic kingdom Balkar showed stronger fighting spirit. Of course, this was due to Archmage Chamber of Eternal Flame's personality. "O, our role is support. It's good to step forward, but please look around a lot..." Mage Tower Master Larian cried out to provide support while trembling her hands. Rather, the mages around her were moving more briskly, casting support magic on the martial artists. Kugugugugugu! Eden's ghosts approached with unhindered steps as if this land had already become theirs. "Hmm..." Raon slightly narrowed his brow while looking at the man wearing a bizarre wooden mask standing at Eden's center and the Death Sword Spirit standing behind him. 'That's...' He had thought that commanding Eden without the Heavenly Demon would be the Death Sword Spirit who had learned from him, but an unexpected figure had appeared. However, the aura felt from that wooden mask man was quite familiar. 'So it's that bastard.' That wooden mask was definitely the shaman who had manifested the Heavenly Demon in the Silent Serpent Swordsman's body and transported Eden's countless forces here at once. 'I didn't know he'd be this strong.' Raon slowly stroked his chin while looking at the wooden mask man. He had expected him to be hiding special abilities, but the transmitted aura was far beyond his predictions. It seemed the bastard had ascended to the absolute realm beyond transcendence. "That guy's not ordinary, is he?" Chamber bit her lips deeply while looking at the wooden mask man. "Whe, where was such a monster...?" Larian also trembled her chin saying she couldn't understand. "How chilling!" Ogram clashed his fists saying it would be fun instead since he was a strong person. "It's my first time meeting you, heroes of the Five Kings." The man wearing the wooden mask placed his hand on his chest in a polite posture. "I am called the Hermit, and I have taken command of Eden." He introduced himself as the Hermit and curled his lips inside the mask. "I have a proposal for you..." It was the moment the Hermit was about to state his proposal. Thuk. With a chilling sound like thread snapping, his neck was severed without a drop of blood and fell to the ground. "War has already begun. The only thing left for you is..." Raon lowered Heavenly Drive with red steam rising from it while arrogantly tilting his chin. "Nothing but annihilation."
