The Reincarnated Assassin Is a Genius Swordsman
Chapter 1389
Chapter 1389
[It's the <Monarch of Envy>!]
[No, it's not just the Monarch of Envy! All the demon kings have descended!]
[The, the Archangels are being pushed back...]
[How, how did they descend while retaining their original abilities?]
[That's not what's important! Everyone retreat!]
The Dragons were horrified seeing that all their kin who had come forth earlier had died with their necks broken by the hands of the Monarch of Envy, Envy, so they retreated back into the dimension. They rolled their large eyes from within the Dimensional Gate as if waiting for the right time, but did not reveal themselves.
"Hah? Running away immediately?"
Envy lightly brushed off his hands flowing with the Authority of Envy and let out a hollow laugh.
"Mediators of the Continent? Those winged lizards sure got full of themselves."
He sneered as if regarding the Dragons as insects.
"Well, since that sinister Lord died, it's not strange that the lizards became a disorganized rabble."
Envy clicked his tongue as if he knew about the Dragon Lord.
"Come to think of it, this ridiculous war is being maintained all because of that damn bastard."
He twisted his lips upward while looking at Raon, who wasn't being pushed back even an inch by Archangel Uriel.
"Hmm..."
Envy looked away from Raon and Uriel and looked up at the dimension where the Dragons were hiding.
"Still not coming out?"
Envy looked at the sky as if expecting the Dragons to come out, but contrary to his hopes, the Dragons did not reveal themselves again.
"Haah, how boring."
Envy yawned as if bored and shook his head.
"If you're bored, how about just beating them all up?"
Martha approached Envy's side and tilted her chin.
"You have plenty of power left anyway."
She seemed to be provoking Envy to reduce the damage to the Five Kings alliance.
"Haven't I played around enough already?"
Envy waved his hand as if telling her to stop.
"Besides, I need to save my strength for Mikael."
He smacked his lips, saying he needed to save his Authority for the battle with Archangel Mikael.
"Actually, it would be best if he doesn't come out."
Envy slightly furrowed his eyebrows as if reluctant to fight Archangel Mikael.
"Archangel Mikael?"
Martha tilted her head curiously.
"Is he that strong?"
She widened her eyes as if she couldn't believe that Envy, who treated Dragons like lizards, was afraid of an Archangel.
"He's strong. Just looking at his martial prowess, he's a monster at the top tier among Archangels."
Envy let out a murky breath and continued speaking.
"However, the reason he's troublesome isn't just that."
"Does he have a separate ability?"
Martha smacked her lips as if curious.
"Yes. He has a very dirty ability."
Envy shook his chin, saying he didn't want to clash with him because of the characteristics Mikael possessed.
"Actually, in terms of compatibility, <Pride> would be more advantageous than me. Of course, since <Wrath> is there, he won't come out."
He narrowed his eyes thinly while looking at the Death Sword Spirit being captured by Karoon.
"Unless something very special happens."

Kiiiiiii!
The Silent Serpent Swordsman's sword shot forth while spreading a bizarre Sword Mantra like a ghost's wail. Though it was a phantom sword that bewitched people with light and sound to dull their senses, its speed and sharpness were extraordinary.
Kuuuuuung!
Ogram merely stepped forward to shatter the sinister flow of the Silent Serpent Swordsman's swordsmanship, then thrust down his tightly clenched fist.
"Keu!"
The Silent Serpent Swordsman bit his lips and swung his sword again, but Ogram's left fist flew in faster.
Thuuuuuud!
The Silent Serpent Swordsman was struck in the chest by Ogram's fist and bounced away like a stone kicked by a foot, rolling on the ground several times.
"Keueu!"
This time he seemed to have received a great shock, coughing up blood while panting.
"Th, this is impossible."
The Silent Serpent Swordsman ground his teeth as if he couldn't accept this situation.
"It's not even Raon Zieghart, so why to someone like you!"
He swung his sword fiercely, saying he never even thought he would be defeated by Ogram.
Jeoooong!
Despite both his mind and body shaking, the Silent Serpent Swordsman thrust in a fierce sword strike. Cold sweat ran down Ogram's back at the sharp sword strike that could cut off his neck if he let his guard down.
"Kahahahahaha!"
However, Ogram, befitting the Beast King who had brought countless tribes to their knees and even suppressed the Leader of the White Blood Religion's bloody energy, instead dove into danger, struck away the Silent Serpent Swordsman's sword, and uppercut his jaw.
Crackkkkk!
Along with the sound of breaking bones, the Silent Serpent Swordsman's body floated into the air. He collapsed as if fainting, dropping even the sword he was holding as all strength seemed to leave his body.
"You..."
The Silent Serpent Swordsman opened his lips as if not losing consciousness, but having no strength to get up, he could only cough up blood and couldn't move.
Thuuud!
Ogram raised his fingers, thicker than sword blades, and tapped the Silent Serpent Swordsman's body. It was a technique of the Beast Union that suppressed the opponent's Mana Circuit with aura.
"Uuugh..."
The Silent Serpent Swordsman felt as if his body was bound by ropes and couldn't move at all, barely managing to move only his eyes to look at Ogram.
"Wha, what."
He trembled his lips as if asking why he was being left like this.
"Raon said you shouldn't be killed."
Ogram brushed off his hands while sitting on top of the Silent Serpent Swordsman.
"Since it's that child's request, I should honor it."
He smacked his lips, saying he wouldn't kill the Silent Serpent Swordsman because of Raon.
"Keuheu!"
The Silent Serpent Swordsman let out a laugh as if his fear had disappeared at Ogram's words.
"In the end, you can't do anything either!"
He moved boldly again as if he had gained confidence that he wouldn't die.
"You talked about being a leader of the Five Kings and whatnot, but in the end you're nothing more than Raon Zieghart's servant!"
The Silent Serpent Swordsman giggled and provoked Ogram.
'If I fight again, I can definitely win!'
Ogram swung his fist with such killing intent as if he would really burst him to death. The moment when Raon Zieghart had tried to kill him came to mind, and he couldn't display his true abilities due to fear.
However, when he became certain that Ogram wouldn't kill him, that fear disappeared. If he fought again after the aura suppression crushing his entire body was released, he was confident he could kill that barbarian.
"Eight Great Ghost!"
The Silent Serpent Swordsman called out to the Eight Great Ghost who wasn't visible from his fallen position.
"Save me! If I fight again..."
It was when he was rolling his eyes looking for the Eight Great Ghost.
Thuuuud!
The Eight Great Ghost's right arm fell backward, severed as if cut by a blade.
"Umm..."
He bit his lips as if he hadn't expected such an injury.
"To think it would be this much..."
The Eight Great Ghost looked at Ogram and Chamber in turn and frowned.
"I was completely wrong in my thinking."
He let out a low breath as if surprised by the martial prowess of Ogram and Chamber, which was far different from his expectations.
"Actually, it's true that we became weak as your information suggested."
Chamber threw the Eight Great Ghost's bleeding arm to the ground and twisted her lips.
"However, even if we became weak, we can recover again. No, we can become even stronger."
She waved her hand, saying that although she became weak, she grew through bone-cutting effort.
Thuuuud!
The Eight Great Ghost moved his body only after the flesh around his waist was carved out, as if he hadn't even felt Chamber's magic.
"Umm..."
He deeply furrowed his brow while clutching his waist where flesh had been cut away and blood and organs were spilling out.
"Eight Great Ghost! I told you to save me!"
The Silent Serpent Swordsman screamed desperately, shouting at the Eight Great Ghost to save him.
"Huh..."
It was when the Eight Great Ghost flashed his cold eyes and tried to approach the Silent Serpent Swordsman.
"Your eyes are fierce."
Ogram blocked the Eight Great Ghost's path with narrowed eyes.
"You're not trying to save this guy, but rather you look ready to kill him?"
He snorted, saying he could see right through the Eight Great Ghost's intentions.
"There was no word to spare you, so it wouldn't matter if I kill you, right?"
Chamber chewed her lollipop while looking at the Eight Great Ghost.
"Archmage Chamber of Eternal Flame."
The Eight Great Ghost called Chamber's name and brought his hands together.
Thuuuuuud!
Blood burst from the wounds covering his entire body, and red, writhing tentacles emerged.
"I shall cast a Bleeding Curse upon you."
The Eight Great Ghost drew a Magic Circle with the tentacles made of blood while flashing cold eyes.
"A Bleeding Curse..."
Chamber rolled up her lips while listening to the Eight Great Ghost's words.
"Then I'll cast a spatial curse upon you."
It was the moment she brought her hands together like the Eight Great Ghost.
Thuuuuud!
Without even the slightest mana fluctuation, his mask and head that were above the Eight Great Ghost's body disappeared.
Gugugugugu.
No matter how much the Eight Great Ghost was a ghost possessing the power of a Kraken, he couldn't move after losing his head and collapsed as he was, spewing a murderous amount of blood from his neck where his head had disappeared. The bizarrely moving blood tentacles also drooped as if their strength had left them.
"Haah..."
Chamber lowered her trembling hands and swallowed the blood that had risen up to her mouth.
'Fortunately, it ended in time.'
As the Eight Great Ghost said, she had become weak, and as she herself said, she had also become strong. She had realized the deep essence of magic, but since the aftereffects hadn't completely disappeared, she couldn't fight for long.
She had worried when the Eight Great Ghost revealed his true form because his Fighting Spirit was too strong, but fortunately she was able to finish him before he could show his true abilities.
"Hah..."
The Silent Serpent Swordsman trembled his lips as if he couldn't believe the Eight Great Ghost's death.
"That guy inherited the power of a Kraken! He shouldn't die like this!"
He shook his head while shouting that it was strange.
"What's strange about it?"
Chamber stuck out her tongue with candy pieces remaining and shrugged her shoulders.
"Originally, we stood on the same level as your leader."
She stepped on the Silent Serpent Swordsman's head with her foot, telling the young one not to act up.
"It's true that the Heavenly Demon is strong. The current me can never beat him. However..."
Ogram looked down at the Silent Serpent Swordsman and drew a heavy smile.
"You are not the Heavenly Demon. Don't entrust your identity to his martial prowess."
He struck down with his fist along with those words and hit the Silent Serpent Swordsman's head.
"Ah..."
The Silent Serpent Swordsman fainted without being able to offer even the slightest resistance since his body was stiffened.
"Our role is finished for now."
Chamber said she had completed her mission and lifted the unconscious Silent Serpent Swordsman into the air before hiding him in her own space.
"No."
Ogram clashed his two fists in front of his chest and let out a beast-like laugh.
"My fight is just beginning!"
As if those words were true, he entered the battlefield again and swung his rock-like fists. Though he had many wounds inflicted by the Silent Serpent Swordsman, he didn't seem to care at all.
"That's not a human, but a bison. No, he's at the level of a bison herd."
Chamber shook her head as she watched Ogram's explosive fist strikes as soon as he entered the battlefield.
"Since this side is roughly taken care of..."
She twisted her lips while looking at the rear of the endlessly swarming monsters.
"Who will take care of that side?"
* * *
"This is absurd..."
The Hermit touched his mask shaped like the World Tree and let out a sigh.
"For the Silent Serpent Swordsman and Eight Great Ghost to be defeated so easily..."
He blinked several times as if he couldn't believe that Ogram and Chamber had defeated the Silent Serpent Swordsman and Eight Great Ghost.
"Looking at it again, the martial prowess and stamina were higher on the side of the Silent Serpent Swordsman and Eight Great Ghost."
If the leaders of the Five Kings hadn't been injured, it might be different, but those two were people who had suffered major injuries and were almost thinking of retirement. He didn't know what method they used to recover such strong martial prowess.
"Moreover..."
The Hermit looked to the left and frowned.
"I never expected the Death Sword Spirit to be broken by Karoon Zieghart..."
The Death Sword Spirit was a swordsman who inherited the Heavenly Demon's martial arts with genius talent. If she continued to grow like this, it wouldn't be strange for her to become the next leader of Eden, yet she was defeated by Karoon Zieghart, whom he had never even considered, which was bewildering.
'All the plans are going awry.'
The fact that he couldn't move against Raon Zieghart, the Death Sword Spirit being defeated by Karoon Zieghart, the Silent Serpent Swordsman and Eight Great Ghost being crushed by those old folks in the back room, and even the Archangels being blocked by the demon kings.
'If they had died instead...'
If the Death Sword Spirit or the Silent Serpent Swordsman had died, Pride or Hydra would have been liberated and completely destroyed the balance of the battlefield, but since both were merely subdued, it wasn't an exaggeration to call it the worst situation.
'In the end...'
The Hermit bit his lips and brought his hands together.
'I have no choice but to do it myself.'
He had planned to leave battlefield command to the Death Sword Spirit while he recovered from the spiritual wounds inflicted by Raon Zieghart, but it seemed he had no choice but to move.
'I need to coordinate with the Angels. If I bewitch the humans with their abilities and then send monsters and executives, I should be able to lead the war situation favorably.'
While it was true that the situation itself had flowed unexpectedly, the war was just beginning and there were still many troops. If he moved according to the new strategy he devised, he could change this war situation favorably.
'And it would be good to deal with the Silent Serpent Swordsman too.'
In a clean manner.
'Since Raon Zieghart can no longer stop me.'
It was when the Hermit extended tree roots beneath his feet as if he was targeting the Silent Serpent Swordsman, who belonged to the same Eden.
Jeoooooong!
The large monsters that had been hiding the Hermit condensed into small forms before bursting apart without a single drop of blood, and above them, a blue-eyed beauty with golden hair swaying at her waist descended on green wind like a goddess descending.
"You were really here just as Raon said?"
Larian, the owner of the magic tower and one who had reached the pinnacle of magic in the current era, looked down at the Hermit.
"Your opponent is me."
She raised her chin proudly as if there was no need to look anywhere else.
"Because my research is complete."
