The Reincarnated Assassin Is a Genius Swordsman

Chapter 1394 "A fly?" Archangel Ramiel's jaw trembled as lightning flickered around it. "Have you really gone insane?" He furrowed his brow as if he couldn't understand how Sloth, who was seriously injured and on the verge of death, was belittling him. "No..." The Monarch of Sloth, Sloth, calmly shook his head. "I'm just... stating the facts..." Despite his serious injuries, he looked at Archangel Ramiel, who was wrapped in lightning, with languid eyes as if nothing had happened. "This human has given me the power of my true self..." Sloth blinked his eyes while explaining. "Haaaaam..." He even yawned long without finishing his words as if it was too bothersome to deal with Archangel Ramiel. "Huh?" Veins bulged on Ramiel's forehead. "Are you ignoring me!" He ground his teeth and exploded the lightning rising from his entire body. "This time I'll cut off your neck!" Ramiel reached his hand toward the sky, declaring he would definitively end it with this attack. Kwarrrrrung! The sky filled with lightning vibrated as a lightning spear sprouted above Ramiel's grasp. Though not particularly large, the amount of lightning burning within was so immense that the surroundings seemed distorted. "Die!" Ramiel disappeared while sparking fierce lightning. He advanced burning Sloth's senses with lightning and thrust the lightning spear. Just as the spear of fiercely burning lightning was about to pierce Sloth's heart, his pupils slowly sank like a lake of the abyss. "Ah..." The moment Ramiel saw Sloth's eyes, he felt a chilling sensation as if falling into an abyss. He wanted to retreat, but since he had already moved his body, he couldn't stop midway. 'Since it's come to this, even faster!' He pushed away his fear and advanced even faster, thrusting the lightning spear toward Sloth's neck. Uuuuuuung! However, the lightning spear containing Ramiel's full power couldn't pierce Sloth's neck and remained stopped in place. "Wh-what is this..." Ramiel felt not only the lightning spear but also himself slowing down and gulped dry saliva. "I definitely entered while burning your perception!" The reason he could attack Sloth until now wasn't simply because he was fast. It was possible because he burned Sloth's very senses with the horn of destruction and the power received from the heavenly realm. Even now, he burned Sloth's senses the same way as before, but since his attack was blocked, he couldn't hide his confusion. "Didn't I tell you..." Sloth slowly shook his head. "You are slow..." He blinked his eyes saying Ramiel was slower than himself. "Ridiculous nonsense!" Ramiel ground his teeth and poured out faster lightning, charging directly toward Sloth with the lightning spear. Uuuuuuung! However, neither the lightning Ramiel struck down nor his charge reached Sloth. All attacks could no longer advance as if an invisible wall existed. "H-how is this..." Ramiel's lips turned blue with shock as everything he had was blocked. "Haaaaam..." Sloth yawned long and wiped away the tears forming in his eyes. "Now it's complete..." Even the small droplet from his mouth as he yawned slowly floated up into the air. "Complete my ass!" Ramiel told him to stop talking nonsense and thrust even more fierce lightning and thunder toward Sloth. "My domain..." The moment Sloth spoke of the domain's completion while watching Ramiel's eerie offensive, the texture of air around his massive body changed. The lightning Ramiel summoned slowed as if seeping into water, and the lightning spear that should pierce its target in an instant changed to the speed of a snail crawling on a branch before finally stopping. The shining streams seemed to have hardened in the air like decorative magic. "Thanks to this child..." Sloth nodded toward Runaan saying she had filled the lacking Authority of Sloth. Though his words were choppy, gratitude could be felt. "Ah..." Ramiel gulped dry saliva seeing all his attacks had completely stopped. "I can't believe it!" He threw a fist exploding with lightning, saying he couldn't believe he was blocked by Sloth despite using all his divine power. Uuuuuuung! However, Ramiel's fist imbued with his full power also couldn't reach Sloth and stopped pressing only the air like pushing away waves. "This is why I said you are slow." Sloth lowered his eyes and extended his hand dripping with blood. Peoooooooook! Ramiel's left arm, which had always shown perfect form since the battle began, was torn off. "Uaaaaaaak!" Ramiel screamed in pain from his arm being ripped out and retreated backward. "How boring..." Sloth yawned as he dropped Ramiel's arm that was dripping blood. He still blinked drowsily despite his entire body being covered in wounds. "S-Sloth..." Ramiel ground his teeth as if more angered by Sloth's disregard for him than by his arm being cut off. "Uaaaaaaa!" As he grasped the horn at his waist, all the lightning filling the sky fell upon him. Kwarrrrrrrrrrung! Ramiel's entire body was enveloped in lightning and melted into light. His angelic form disappeared and transformed into pure lightning. He seemed to have become thunder itself piercing the sky. "In this state, I am..." Ramiel looked down at Sloth with eyes flashing blue lightning. "The lightning of heaven and the god of thunder." He arrogantly called himself a god and emitted a terrifying aura. "To use the destruction power of the horn following the heavenly power transmitted by Lord Uriel..." "Q-quickly get away! That's the Lightning God!" The higher angels fled in horror at Ramiel's power without looking back. "Aaaah..." "Kuaaaaaaak!" "W-why am I... when I'm this far away..." "My flesh and bones are melting in the lightning..." "S-save me!" The Five Kings alliance, the Ghost of Eden, and even the Angels were affected by Ramiel who had transformed into the Lightning God and melted upon contact with the relentlessly pouring lightning. 'The horn... Ah, I'm sleepy.' Sloth was thinking about the horn of destruction that Ramiel possessed but shook his head as if bothered. "Let's just end it..." He brought both hands together in front of his chest. "Monarch of Sloth ultimate technique." Sloth spoke the name of the ultimate technique in a languid tone. "Motionless." The moment his languid murmur spread, a gentle wave bloomed as if the world had turned into a transparent lake. "Whatever you do is useless!" Ramiel let out a voice crackling with lightning. "I'll kill you!" He became lightning and rushed into Sloth's domain as if he would sacrifice everything to kill Sloth. And he became slow. Lightning becomes slow. Speed beyond light became wind, what was wind speed became running speed, and finally stopped. Shock appeared on Ramiel's face who had become lightning. But even that shock was slow. Questions filled his trembling pupils. How was such a thing possible? "No matter how fast you are... you cannot reach me..." Sloth slowly shook his head as he separated his hands that had been brought together. "Whether lightning, light, or sound, everything is..." It wasn't mockery. He blinked calmly as if he truly thought so. "Slower than me..." Sloth exhaled a calm breath as if whatever Ramiel did was meaningless. "Eeeeek!" Ramiel exploded lightning while caught in Sloth's domain, but even that explosion moved slower than a turtle, ultimately unable to burst and stopping while swollen like a balloon in the air. "H-how does this make sense!" The world that had been slow became fast. Humans, Angels, even Archangels had been slower than him, but now everything was becoming faster than himself. "I-I am the Lightning God!" Ramiel ground his teeth so hard they creaked and writhed his stiffened entire body. "I'll burn down this kind of domain completely!" He screamed with his face bulging with veins. "I will never stop!" As Ramiel grasped the horn so hard it might break and struggled, his body began to move little by little. "......" Sloth slowly narrowed his eyes while looking at the horn grasped in Ramiel's hand. 'So it is the power of that horn after all...' Ramiel hadn't been an Archangel for long, so he shouldn't have been able to use all of heaven's power. But through Uriel he was connected to the heavenly realm, and with the power of that horn, it seemed he could move even within his domain. "Really... how bothersome..." Sloth sighed deeply as if fed up with Ramiel's struggles to the end and rotated his hand counterclockwise. Uuuuuuuung! At that moment, the domain of Sloth narrowed and Ramiel's struggling body began to stiffen again. Within the domain where everything slowed down, only Sloth seemed free. Stomp. Sloth slowly stepped into the domain. He advanced through the domain with slow, lazy, but certain steps. "Aaah..." Ramiel watched Sloth slowly approaching with frozen eyes and gasped violently. Everyone held their breath at the sight of the fastest being waiting for death while watching the slowest being. Seuuuuu. Sloth tried to raise his hand to crush Ramiel's neck but stopped at his waist. "Ah, bothersome... I don't have Authority anymore..." He lowered his hand again as if even killing Ramiel was bothersome. "You do it..." Sloth said he seemed to have done enough and looked at Runaan who was standing behind with her eyes closed. "..." As if waiting for Sloth's words, Runaan entered the domain of Sloth with her eyes lowered. She advanced through the demon king's domain where everything slowed down with languid steps as if taking a walk after a nap. "Eeeeek..." Ramiel felt Sloth ignoring him once again and ground his teeth so hard it seemed his blood vessels might burst. "Don't ignore me!" He put force into his grasp and smashed the horn as if he would somehow kill Runaan. Kwadeudeudeuk! Ramiel wrapped the destructive power that burst out from the shattered horn around his right arm and created dark red burning lightning, striking it down toward Runaan. That lightning was the fastest and most intense yet. Because it contained the destructive power dwelling in the horn, it exerted its full power even within Sloth's domain and fell at a terrifying speed. "Hmm...!" Even Sloth seemed surprised as his boredly sunken pupils trembled. "I felt it all..." However, Runaan took one more step forward with lazy steps as if she had anticipated Ramiel's lightning. Chizizizizizik! As Runaan's beloved sword rose in a shadow-like hazy thrust, Sloth's domain rippled and Ramiel's lightning that sacrificed everything began to slow down. She had drawn in the Authority of Sloth, the Monarch of Sloth, through her swordsmanship. "Ah..." Ramiel watched his lightning that had sacrificed everything being blocked by a human's sword and could only tremble his lips without being able to speak. Now not only his body but even his thoughts seemed to be slowing down as even his pupils hardened. Seuuuuuk! Runaan thrust her sword imbued with the Authority of Sloth toward Ramiel's neck, who had stiffened without even being able to show shock. Slowly, but perfectly. Chaaaaaaaak! Ramiel couldn't avoid Runaan's slow sword. He died without even feeling the pain of his neck being severed, as if even accepting death had slowed down. As if announcing the end of this battle, Archangel Ramiel's head fell to the ground with a refreshing resonance. Tuuung!
