The Reincarnated Assassin Is a Genius Swordsman
Chapter 1379
Chapter 1379
"What... did you say?"
Archangel Uriel's expression hardened for the first time.
"You knew?"
He furrowed his brow deeply as if he had heard a completely unexpected answer from Raon.
"That's what I said."
Raon nodded calmly.
"You wouldn't have participated in the war without any countermeasures, would you?"
Uriel and the angels' goal is to reset the human world. For that abhorrent purpose, seven Archangels must blow seven horns in succession to summon the Dragon of Destruction, but until now they couldn't do it even if they wanted to.
'Because I killed Archangels one after another.'
He had beheaded three Archangels including Raphael, the Archangel of protection and healing. Originally, they shouldn't be able to summon the Dragon of Destruction due to insufficient numbers of Archangels, but there was no way Uriel would just stand by and watch.
-That's right!
Wrath snorted while looking at Uriel.
-That bastard has the authority to appoint Archangels!
The guy frowned, saying that Uriel, as the leader of the Archangels, had the authority to appoint other Archangels.
-No, even without such authority, that bastard Uriel would sacrifice other high-ranking angels to blow the horns!
Wrath ground his teeth, saying that Uriel was a monster who wouldn't care about sacrificing allies for his own purposes.
"I had forgotten...."
Uriel looked into Raon's eyes and nodded heavily.
"That that mongrel was attached to you."
He flashed a cold glint as if he could see Wrath floating behind Raon.
'Mongrel?'
Raon blinked while looking at Wrath. It seemed like he was talking about Wrath, but he couldn't understand why he called him a mongrel.
-M-mongrel?
Wrath ground his teeth so hard they made a grinding sound.
-That pigeon bastard who just shits from the sky is calling who a mongrel!
The guy caused a ruckus while grabbing the Divine Sword, demanding to be manifested immediately.
"Now I can't help but acknowledge it."
Uriel exhaled heavily and nodded.
"The reason why Derus Robert said you must be killed at all costs...."
He bit his lips deeply as if regretting not prioritizing killing Raon above all else.
"But now everything is over."
Uriel slowly shook his head while stroking the cracked blade of Apocalypse.
"Now that all the Archangels have gathered, only destruction remains for this world."
As Uriel lifted the horn hanging at his waist and twisted his lips, five Archangels walked out in succession from the dimension open behind him, radiating such brilliant light that it was hard to keep one's eyes open.
Gooooooooo!
The first Archangel to reveal himself had his eyes lowered and his lips firmly closed, yet strangely, one could feel both the warmth of benevolence and a chilling, eerie sensation at the same time. Seeing the golden scales in his right hand, it seemed to be Archangel Raguel, who had made Derus Robert flee from Glenn.
Uuuuuuuu!
The second Archangel to emerge from the dimension appeared as a beautiful woman with an innocent smile like a child. However, all that could be felt from her gentle smile was deep and intense killing intent. She seemed to have only thoughts of killing humans.
-That bastard....
Wrath deeply furrowed his brow while looking at the second Archangel.
-That's Archangel Gabriel.
The guy let out a low groan, saying he didn't want to face Gabriel because she was insane.
'I don't know if she's insane, but....'
Raon's lips trembled slightly as he looked at Raguel and Gabriel.
'They're both at a level that doesn't fall behind even Uriel.'
His fingertips trembled at the aura felt from Raguel and Gabriel. Even if Uriel might be slightly higher, these two were also absolute beings who were in no way lacking in bearing the title of Archangel.
Gooooooo!
The third Archangel to rise in the air was a robust man carrying a spear with healing light burning on his back. Seeing that he was wrapped in healing light, it seemed he had inherited the power of Archangel Raphael whom he had killed.
'This guy....'
Raon narrowed his eyes thinly while looking at the angel who had inherited Raphael's name.
'He's weaker than the previous Raphael.'
Perhaps because it hadn't been long since he inherited the Archangel's name, he seemed weaker not only than Uriel or Gabriel, but also than the previous Raphael. However, the spear he carried on his back seemed special, as powerful divine power could be felt from it.
Pajijik.
The fourth Archangel to walk out was wearing ornately decorated gauntlets on both hands, with golden lightning aura burning around them. Seeing that he used lightning, it seemed he had inherited Ramiel's power.
The last Archangel to reveal herself was a woman who seemed like the word 'beauty' molded into human form, with her gem-like sparkling eyes being particularly magnificent. Just looking into her eyes made his heart tremble and his mind go blank. Seeing how she bewitched people, it seemed this angel had taken Samiel's abilities.
When all six Archangels stood in the sky, sacred radiance fell grandly like chandelier light from the high heavens that couldn't even be seen, as if God himself was blessing this moment.
Gooooooo!
Thanks to that brilliant light, the Archangels' presence became even more intense. It looked as if only they were standing on this battlefield.
'Are those the new Archangels?'
Raon twisted his jaw while looking at the new Archangels who had inherited the powers of the Archangels he had met before.
'They've all become weaker.'
Perhaps because they inherited those powers immediately after the Archangels died not long ago, the martial prowess of all the Archangels except Raguel and Gabriel was weaker than their predecessors.
'It was worth fighting hard...'
At first he felt disappointed that killing the Archangels seemed meaningless, but he felt somewhat relieved when he sensed that the new Archangels' martial prowess was not yet complete.
-You must not let your guard down.
Wrath clicked his tongue briefly.
-It's true that the new pigeons are weak, but that cunning Uriel bastard has enhanced them with artifacts.
The guy clicked his tongue, saying that the weapons the new Archangels were holding were all equipment with mythical-grade abilities.
'I won't let my guard down. No, I can't.'
Raon chuckled, asking how he could let his guard down with six Archangels in front of him.
-I'm saying this because you're not tense at all!
The guy slightly furrowed his brow as if he was worried.
"Uwaaaaaaaa!"
"The Archangels have come!"
"The victory of this war has already been decided!"
"Destroy the humans!"
"Purify the vermin that gnaw at this land!"
The angels seemed to gain courage from the sight of the five Archangels, exploding with divine power as they thrust down their sharply pointed spears.
"It's the Archangels!"
"The Archangels have come as promised!"
"It's all over! If only the Heavenly Demon returns, everything will be perfect!"
"Finally the restoration begins! Our era is coming!"
The Ghosts of Eden also roared and drove the humans back, seemingly already convinced of victory by the Archangels' magnificent appearance.
"Aaaah...."
"Th-those are Archangels? All of them?"
"Every one of them seems to be at a similar level to Lord Raon...."
"I can feel demonic viciousness."
"C-can we win against this?"
"We should have finished Eden before those bastards came out!"
On the other hand, the Five Kings Alliance turned pale at the appearance of the Archangels wrapped in overwhelming divine power. They became paralyzed with fear, thinking that even Raon couldn't stop those six Archangels alone.
-Look!
Wrath frowned while pointing at the people below.
-Aren't they all terrified!
The guy waved his hand, saying that human morale was plummeting because the aura emanating from the Archangels was so immense.
"Your expression has hardened."
Uriel twisted his lips while looking at Raon.
"Everything you've done so far was meaningless."
He shrugged, saying that Raon had merely killed the previous generation of Archangels.
"I don't think so."
Raon calmly shook his head.
"The existing Archangels do look strong, but...."
He curled up his lips while looking past Raguel and Gabriel to the newly revealed Archangels.
"Those are just stopgaps."
He shook his head, saying he felt no value whatsoever from the new Archangels.
"How dare...."
"A mere human dares to ignore Archangels!"
Ramiel and Samiel ground their teeth as if it was absurd.
"...."
Raphael was just smiling, not revealing what he was thinking.
"Don't get excited."
Uriel waved his hand at the Archangels beside him.
"That bastard is the human who killed your predecessors."
He wrinkled his nose bridge, telling them never to step forward.
"Hmm."
"That human...."
Ramiel and Samiel swallowed their saliva in surprise after sensing Raon's martial prowess again.
"So you're Raon Zieghart."
Raguel slowly examined Raon while narrowing his eyes.
"I can certainly feel a caliber that transcends humanity."
He nodded, saying he was a human worth targeting by Derus Robert.
"I like that person. Thanks to him, I obtained this name."
Raphael bowed his head, saying he received the name Raphael thanks to Raon. Contrary to his words of gratitude, when he raised his head again, he showed eyes as cold and ruthless as a snake's.
"...."
Gabriel just smiled the same smile as before, as if she had no interest in Raon whatsoever. She seemed either completely uninterested in this situation, or eager to taste blood quickly.
"Hmm...."
Raon narrowed his eyes thinly while looking at the six Archangels who had revealed themselves from Uriel to Samiel.
"There are only six of you, is that really okay?"
He shrugged, asking if six could really bring destruction to this world.
"Don't worry."
Uriel snorted and waved his hand.
"Because I can handle two."
He said he would blow two horns and put the first horn to his mouth.
-S-stop him!
Wrath let out an urgent warning as if he hadn't expected Uriel to put the horn to his mouth immediately.
-That bastard really intends to blow it!
The guy jumped up and down, shouting to stop Uriel immediately.
"...."
Raon just quietly watched Uriel as if he hadn't heard Wrath's warning.
"Hmph!"
Uriel thought Raon was terrified and snorted as he blew the horn.
Uuuuuuuuuu!
The moment a majestic sound that shook the world burst forth from the horn's call, the cracked sky opened, and from above, meteors burning with blood and flames fell down.
Kuguugugugu!
The meteors moved their massive bodies toward only the Five Kings' formation as if they had eyes.
"N-no!"
"My God...."
"How do we stop that!"
"Sword Sage! Please help us!"
"E-even a Sword Sage can't cut that...."
The martial artists of the Five Kings Alliance fell into despair seeing the massive meteors that seemed impossible to handle with human strength. Some people were already kneeling on the spot and closing their eyes, feeling death approaching.
"Now it's over."
Uriel removed the horn from his mouth and let out a sneer.
"No."
Raon firmly shook his head while touching the black flower bracelet on his wrist.
"Now it's beginning."
It was the moment he said that it was beginning now.
Tukwaaaaaaaang!
From the crumbling earth, chillingly black energy surged up and crushed the meteors that were about to collapse the earth like dry leaves.
Hwaaaaaaaa!
From beneath the meteor fragments scattering as powder, a massive being whose eyes were scorched black as if burned by fire, beyond haggard, raised his body.
"Ahhh...."
A boringly slow tone and a foolish-sounding voice. However, his presence was more intense than anyone else here. The being to whom the Devildom itself had knelt and surrendered its throne. The Monarch who had carved the authority of Sloth into this world raised his languid eyes.
"I'm still sleepy...."
