The Reincarnated Assassin Is a Genius Swordsman

Chapter 1382

Chapter 1382 -T-This bastard! Wrath was startled and raised his head. -Trying to impersonate this king again! He ground his teeth as if asking whether he was trying to deceive the Archangels after the demon kings. "What...?" The word 'confusion' was etched in Archangel Uriel's eyes as well. "You are <Wrath>?" He shook his trembling jaw as if it were absurd. "Don't talk nonsense. You're just a human worse than vermin who received a fragment of <Wrath>." Archangel Uriel flashed cold eyes as if he wouldn't believe Raon's words. "Uriel is right." Raguel heavily lowered his jaw. "You can never become <Wrath>." He snorted, saying that Raon and Wrath had completely different soul textures. -Hmph! Did you hear that? Wrath exclaimed and nodded his head. -You're still far from replacing this king! Despite being a demon king, he grinned as if pleased that the Archangels acknowledged him. "Uriel. You still only look at what's in front of you." The Monarch of Greed, Greed, flew to Raon's side and curled up his lips. "Like a racehorse that can only run." He mocked Uriel while taking out a gold coin from his pocket. "While you were holed up in the heavenly realm scheming sinister plans, this world has changed a lot, hasn't it?" Greed said enough time had passed for the image on the gold coin to change dozens of times, and flicked the gold coin he was holding into the air. "Shut up, you vulgar merchant." When Uriel turned his angry gaze, the gold coin that had risen above Greed's head was engulfed in Crimson Flame and melted. -That's right! You shut up! Wrath nodded, saying Uriel spoke well. -Ah, no. Is this right? He tilted his head as if confused about which side he was on right now. "Tsk tsk." Greed clicked his tongue briefly with regret as he looked at the gold coin that had melted into black ash. "Anyway, these silver spoon brats don't know the value of money." He simply waved his finger to restore the gold coin that had turned to ash back to its original form, then slipped it between his fingers again. "Can I deal with that unlucky Young Master? Wrath?" Greed pointed at Uriel with the hand holding the gold coin. Even though he knew Raon was a different person from Wrath, he called him by the name Wrath. "......" Raon looked at Greed while taking out a gold coin from his uniform's inner pocket. 'He really came.' Honestly, Greed's participation was close to a gamble. Unlike the other demon kings, he hadn't talked to Greed about the war. No, he couldn't even if he wanted to ask. 'Because we never met in the end.' He had continuously tried to speak to Greed through the golden flower bracelet and the Authority of Greed, but no answer came. When he was thinking he'd have no choice but to make other plans, the gold coin he was now holding in his hand had dropped right in front of him. 'Thanks to this signal, I was able to maintain the original plan.' Even though Greed knew well that he wasn't Wrath, he gave high evaluation and invested a large amount of Authority. Since he was a merchant before being a demon king, there was confidence that he would appear here if only to avoid losses. -It's as you said. Wrath narrowed his eyes while looking at Greed standing leisurely. -That guy absolutely never does anything at a loss. Since he invested a large amount of Authority in you, he would have definitely appeared if only to make use of it. He nodded, saying it was the same thought as his own. "Sorry, but...." Raon returned the gold coin he received from Greed back to him while firmly shaking his head. "Uriel is my prey." He told him not to covet Uriel while raising his Divine Sword and Demonic Sword. "Hmm. If you put it that way, there's no helping it." Greed smiled thinly while looking at the gold coin he received from Raon. "Then who should I choose?" He stroked his smoothly groomed jaw while scanning the Archangels behind Uriel one by one. "Hm? What's this? Are you really Archangels?" Greed frowned as if dumbfounded. "Excluding the faces I know, they all have a screw loose?" He let out a hollow laugh, saying that except for Uriel, Raguel, and Gabriel, they were all weak. "H-How dare!" "A piece of trash living in the Devildom!" Sariel and Ramiel glared at Greed while unleashing their divine power. "......" Raphael said nothing and looked at Greed while stroking the spear on her back. "The heavenly realm has weakened quite a bit too." Greed curled his lips without even giving a glance to Sariel, Ramiel, and Raphael. "Since the investment was wrong, is this a natural result?" He nodded while looking at Raon, who was the main contributor to weakening the heavenly realm. "You there." Greed gestured with his hand to Raguel standing behind Uriel. "Today you'll have to play with me." He raised his chin, telling Raguel to fight. "You nouveau riche who only knows money." Raguel ground his teeth as if angry at being chosen by Greed. However, befitting someone who had held the position of Archangel for a long time, he didn't get excited and only emanated cold killing intent. "Let's calculate which is more expensive between your scales and mine." Greed smacked his lips as if he had caught the scent of money from Raguel. "Good. If dying is your wish, then as a great Archangel, I should grant that wish." Raguel said he would accept Greed's challenge and descended to the ground while holding golden scales in his hand. [Greed.] Raon sent an aura message toward Greed. [Can you really do it?] Unlike Raphael, Ramiel, and Sariel who had newly become Archangels, Raguel possessed martial prowess not inferior to Uriel's. Since Greed was currently not connected to humans unlike the other demon kings, he was a bit worried. "Don't worry." Greed calmly shook his head, contrary to Raon's concerns. "Because I bought a slave with money." When he pointed downward with his finger, a familiar face was visible. "Huh...?" Krein was restless while looking at the golden flower bracelet on his hand. "W-What is this! I just received one gold coin, so why did a bracelet suddenly appear!" He trembled his jaw, saying he didn't understand. "I'll see you later." Greed smiled slyly and descended following Raguel. "Y-Young Master!" Krein screamed to Raon for help, but was led by Greed and flew together with him toward Raguel. -T-That stupid fool received Greed's greed? Wrath trembled his jaw as if he hadn't expected it at all. 'I didn't expect it either.' He had thought Greed would come out, but didn't know his Authority would connect to Krein. He couldn't judge right now whether this was good or bad, but this wasn't the time to only think about that. "Hoo...." Raon calmly caught his breath, then looked at Uriel again. "Did you say you couldn't believe I am <Wrath>?" "So what?" Uriel nodded as if his thoughts hadn't changed even after hearing Greed's words. "Then let's put it to the test." When Raon lowered his hand from which silver cold energy was blooming, the frost that had the momentum to freeze the world scattered as transparent water droplets. "Whether I am Wrath or not." He raised his chin, revealing arrogance beyond confidence. "Gabriel." Uriel gestured with his hand toward Gabriel. "Begin." He clenched his fist, telling her to bring the sixth calamity. "I shall." Gabriel lightly brushed off the horn that still had cold energy lingering on it, then brought it to her mouth. She seemed both uninterested in the current situation and also seemed to harbor the greatest killing intent toward humans among the Archangels present. -Hey, you! Wrath looked back at him while vigorously shaking his head. -Cancel it even now! That guy doesn't fear this king! He trembled his lips as if asking what he would do. Even though he had been teasing just before, he seemed worried now that it became a dangerous situation. 'You said I finally gained the qualification to become a king.' Raon looked at Gabriel who had put the horn to her lips while gripping his Divine Sword and Demonic Sword tightly. 'Trust your judgment.' He told him to trust and wait while resonating the Ring of Fire to its peak. -Uh.... Wrath seemed flustered by his own words and froze in place. Puuuuuuuuu! Gabriel's trumpet was heavy and majestic, as if it would crush and burst souls, unlike her soft and beautiful appearance. Kugugugugugugu! Gabriel's horn, unlike the previous ones, resonated endlessly and soared toward the sky rather than the earth where humans stood. Zzzzzzzzt! The sky, already broken beyond repair and torn beyond measure, opened once more, and thousands—no, far more than ten thousand angels revealed themselves with gloomy golden radiance. However, the angels' appearance was different from the celestial beings seen so far. The angels' eyes were dyed with golden madness, foam-like substances flowed from their mouths, and chains made of Crimson Flame were wrapped around their entire bodies. It seemed like Uriel had directly sealed them, and without those chains, killing intent that would immediately tear into human flesh and bone could be felt. "Kieeeeeee!" Strange battle cries came from the angels' mouths. No, looking at their eyes full of madness and the lightning chains constraining their entire bodies, they looked like evil spirits risen from hell rather than angels. Gooooooo! In front of the nearly ten thousand angels were four high-ranking angels with six wings, who displayed noble bearing like normal celestial beings. They seemed to be the only ones maintaining sanity, but the twisted madness dwelling in their eyes glittered more intensely than anyone else's. In terms of martial prowess alone, they seemed not far inferior to those who had newly risen to Archangel positions. -T-They're bringing out the demon legion? Wrath trembled his jaw as if dumbfounded. -Those crazy bastards really seem to want to see the end! 'Demon legion?' -It refers to that army of angels! Wherever they pass, not even a blade of grass remains! They're not angels, but things like evil spirits! He shook his head, saying Gabriel had brought forth a truly apocalyptic army with her trumpet that calls the end. "T-That's...." "It's the demon legion that was bound at the Euphrates River!" "There are also the four demon legion commanders...." "Are those demons being released?" "It doesn't seem like a good thing for us celestial beings either...." "They say rivers of blood flow where the demon legion passes." Even the celestial beings seemed to view the newly appeared angels unfavorably, rather sending fearful glances toward them. Pazzzzzzt! Gabriel didn't stop blowing the horn even while sensing the celestial beings' fear. As the resonance she created continued, the Crimson Flame chains restraining the demon legion shattered simultaneously. [Kiaaaaaaaa!] [Kraaaaaaaa!] The moment the chains were released, the four high-ranking angels let out malicious screams filled with evil unlike their noble bearing, and the demon legions behind them also roared battle cries that shook heaven and earth following their shouts. "Kill them all." Uriel pointed his finger downward toward the humans on the ground. "As you command!" "Don't forget you said all of them. We'll taste the blood of our kin after a long time!" "Hehehehe." "Finally!" When the demon legion commanders who received Uriel's orders raised their hands, white horses with gray wings appeared in the sky. The angels of the demon legion mounted their horses with practiced ease and raised spears crusted with dried blood. Suuuuuuu! There was no sense of the grandeur one might feel looking at angelic cavalry depicted in historical masterpieces. All that emanated from the demon legion was thick and deep killing intent and madness that could flow like rivers and still have more to spare. "Tear flesh and drink blood!" "Kieeeeeee!" Following the demon legion commanders' orders, the demon legions burst into demon-like cries and began charging toward the ground. The sound of the cavalry charging down from the sky was like a requiem playing the destruction of the human world. -What will you do! Wrath bit his lips, saying it wouldn't be easy to stop the demon legion. "Huu." Raon quietly extended his hand toward the demon legions falling countless like a waterfall. "Wrath King's Decisive Technique." He resonated the Ring of Fire while drawing up Glacier's cold energy. He further enhanced Wrath Release, Authority Manipulation, and Authority Enhancement with the vast realm of the soul, amplifying the power and speed of the cold energy that surged like lightning. "Silver Aurora." The words that flowed from Raon's mouth were not simple human words, but carried majestic words of power like those of the Monarch of Wrath. From his grasp, terribly beautiful frost-light radiance burst forth and enveloped the demon legion charging to annihilate humans. It was an instant. The time it took for the mad angels numbering well over ten thousand to be trapped in pure white cold energy. The angels of the demon legion were trapped in massive frost ice walls with their faces still burning with madness, as if they couldn't even feel that they had been frozen. -Geooooh! Wrath opened his mouth so wide it couldn't open any further. -I-Is this possible...? He couldn't close his gaping mouth, as if he never imagined he could use Silver Aurora with this level of power. "This is Wrath's...." Gabriel's benevolent expression cracked for the first time. She trembled her pale lips as if she couldn't believe it. "Y-You are...." Uriel also trembled his pupils as if he didn't want to believe what he was seeing with his own eyes. "I'll say it again." Raon stood atop the massive ice wall that had frozen the entire demon legion and arrogantly gestured with his chin toward the Archangels. "I am the Monarch of Wrath."
