The Reincarnated Assassin Is a Genius Swordsman

Chapter 1395 "Haaa..." Runaan knelt before Archangel Ramiel's corpse. She had merely approached Ramiel and swung her sword once, yet she gasped violently as if all strength had drained from her entire body. "My body..." Runaan tried to raise her body with trembling legs, but her limbs wouldn't follow her will as if she had become exhausted. "Stay there..." Sloth lightly pressed down on Runaan's shoulder as if telling her to stay still. "Even if you have the Authority of Sloth... you were within my domain... it's natural to be tired..." He slowly nodded his head, saying it was natural for Runaan to be struggling. "I see..." Runaan blinked her eyes as if she finally understood. "My body... did feel strange..." She looked at her trembling hands, saying her body had started moving on its own after Sloth passed his turn. "You helped me..." Runaan felt that she had received help from Sloth and bowed her head. "No..." Sloth slowly lowered his chin. "I... didn't do it..." He lowered his eyes and then opened them, saying it wasn't him but something Runaan had done. "Your own <Sloth> that you built up guided you." Sloth yawned while saying that the Authority of Sloth that Runaan had created gave her strength. "My own <Sloth>..." Luna raised the corners of her mouth so slightly it was barely noticeable, as if she liked those words. "Mm!" She heard screams coming from another direction and struggled to get up. It seemed her stamina had recovered to some degree now. "Where are you going...?" Sloth yawned as if preparing to sleep well and lay down on the ground. "I need to help..." Runaan blinked her eyes as if asking why he would question something so obvious. "What about you?" "..." Sloth stared blankly at such Runaan and then chuckled. "I'm going to rest..." "Okay..." Runaan blinked her eyes once more and ran toward the battlefield. Her unsteady steps slowly began to regain their original movement. "So that's how it was..." Sloth curled up the corners of his mouth while watching Runaan cut down Angels and run toward people. "I understand why that kind of Sloth came to be..." He had told Runaan to finish it, but he hadn't really expected it. Since she alone wasn't enough, he had tried to support her with the Authority of Sloth, but Runaan had sentenced Archangel Ramiel to death with her own power. It was fortunate that the annoyance was gone, but he had thought it strange, and now he seemed to understand the reason. "That girl's... Sloth is..." Sloth chuckled while pulling over the blanket he had received from Raon. "A gentle Sloth..." Runaan loved sleep as much as himself, but she had something even more precious than that. It seemed that such feelings of hers had transformed the Authority of <Sloth> into a new power. "An outstanding talent that's... hard to find even in the Devildom... yawn..." Sloth was evaluating Runaan when he opened his mouth wide in a long yawn as if sleep was coming. "You can go slowly..." He mixed the Authority of <Sloth> into his words so Runaan could hear them and slowly lowered his eyes. "Because you... will be able to reach that realm..." * * * The western edge of the battlefield was quiet. Different colored flames writhed in the sky, vibrations that shook the earth continued in other dimensions, and gold ingots poured down in the east, but the west was simply quiet. What created that atmosphere was Archangel Sariel standing with eight wings neatly folded. Her quiet yet heavy presence made everything silent as if sinking underwater. "Waaa!" Evelyn let out an intense exclamation to break the silence. "Did you just feel it? It seems like your colleague died?" She curled up the corners of her mouth as if sensing that Runaan had killed Archangel Ramiel. "That's right. One head has already been cut off." Lust, the Monarch of Lust, responded to Evelyn's words with a seductive laugh. "This war doesn't seem to have much left either?" She seemed to be simply talking, but she was provoking Archangel Sariel by infusing her voice with the Authority of <Lust>. "......" Archangel Sariel maintained a peaceful expression even at Evelyn and Lust's mockery. She just stood in place as if she were a doll that couldn't even feel her colleague's death. "Are you deaf?" Evelyn frowned while facing Sariel who was looking at her. "No." Lust shook her head while looking at Sariel's eyes. "She's observing us right now." She chuckled while feeling Sariel's pupils directed toward her. "Not bad for someone who just recently received the name Sariel." Lust narrowed her eyes as if she couldn't easily underestimate Sariel. "Her panic at Raon seems like a lie. No, even that might have been acting." She clicked her tongue while looking at the wound on her waist. Since it was a wound from being counterattacked while attacking an excited Sariel, she absolutely couldn't underestimate her. "That thing..." Lust took a short breath while looking at Sariel's quiet pupils. "It seems like emotions don't exist." "Then what about the panic from earlier?" Evelyn quickly turned her head. She narrowed her eyes while recalling Sariel's shock at Raon's performance. "Acting." Lust waved her hand back and forth. "Because even my Authority of <Lust> isn't working on her." She clicked her tongue, saying her ability to charm regardless of age or gender wasn't working at all. "Then the compatibility isn't good." Evelyn stroked her smooth chin and nodded her head. "Should I do it?" She clicked her tongue, saying she would fight in front. "No." Lust swept up her pink hair as if excited. "Actually, the compatibility is good." "Compatibility is... good?" Evelyn tilted her head as if she didn't understand. "Having no emotions doesn't mean having no weaknesses, but rather lacking experience. If you have little experience, you'll also lack the ability to deal with dangerous situations." Lust smiled confidently as if she could defeat Archangel Sariel without much difficulty. "That might be right." Evelyn rounded her mouth as if she hadn't thought in that direction. "If you learned something, give way." Lust pointed at the writhing flames in the sky as if telling her to give up Raon. "That's absolutely not happening!" Evelyn snorted, saying she'd rather give up her soul than hand over Raon. "Fine. Let's continue that matter after bringing that girl down." Lust wiggled her finger at Evelyn as if treating an old friend. "Alright then..." Evelyn smiled broadly and raised her left hand up while sending her right hand down, drawing a circle-like shape with both hands. "I'll go first." Blue light emerged from Evelyn's grasp and she multiplied into dozens of people. It was illusion magic meant to bewitch Archangel Ramiel. Uuuuuuung! Evelyn didn't stop at the illusion magic and even operated cold energy magic, turning her left hand to the opposite side to shoot out ten ice spears. Huuuuuuung! Since dozens of Evelyns multiplied by illusion magic shot ice spears simultaneously, hundreds of spears were fired toward Sariel at once. "...End." Sariel's pupils flashed ominously, then golden flashes burst from her wings, completely piercing through all of Evelyn's clones that were shooting ice spears. Hwaaaaaaa! Since the clones disappeared, the ice magic being shot also vanished like melting snow. Peoooong! Evelyn's main body operated defensive magic to block Sariel's light, but the shock seemed considerable as her entire body shook greatly. "That stone-like thing..." She clenched her fist with trembling hands and glared at Sariel who was standing exactly the same as before. "I can see." Sariel looked down at Evelyn with emotionless eyes. "Your mana flow, muscle movements, and even your heartbeat. Everything about you is information given to me." She lifted her chin as if she had already grasped everything about Evelyn. "What?" One of Evelyn's eyebrows trembled. "You can see mana flow, muscle movements, and even heartbeat? Good! Try it again!" She twisted her mouth and condensed mana by bringing both hands together in the same position. "..." Sariel turned her darkly sunken pupils as if trying to grasp everything about Evelyn this time too. However, Evelyn's magic surged as lightning before she could realize its flow. Peoooook! Sariel did turn her body, but Evelyn's magic, which deeply condensed mana and used elasticity, thinly cut through her waist. "Hmph!" Evelyn wiggled her hand as if she had expected that. "Mana flow, muscle movements, and heartbeat can be changed as much as you want." She smiled broadly, saying she had changed her heart and muscle movements with mana. "...I understand." Sariel calmly nodded her head without even caring about the wound on her waist. "Understand?" Evelyn twisted her mouth as if she liked it even less. "Understanding alone won't be enough, will it?" She approached Sariel, saying she would keep changing her state and asking what she would do about it. "Hmm..." Contrary to her name as Monarch of Lust, Lust didn't step forward first and quietly watched the battle between Evelyn and Sariel. Uuuuuuung! When Evelyn flicked her finger in front of Sariel, brilliant radiance burst from the air and blocked her vision. Paaaaaa! Evelyn blinded Sariel's eyes with flash magic, then dropped numerous fire, cold energy, and lightning magic spells with time differences. It was the magic bombardment she was most confident in. However, despite being hit by Evelyn's flash magic, Sariel raised her calm eyes as if unaffected and looked at the magic spells pouring down on her. Paaaaaaang! Sariel completely pierced through all of Evelyn's magic bombardment with just two streams of light blooming from two wings. Since she destroyed the very cores of the magic, the spells all exploded in the air without even touching the ground. "Wh-what..." Evelyn widened her eyes in shock as all her magic bombardment exploded before it could even finish falling. While her magic bombardments had been blocked many times before, this was the first time they had been completely nullified in such a way, so she was flustered. "...Still far from over!" Evelyn was preparing bombardment with new magic spells while simultaneously preparing an ambush that would spring from underground when she said she would try again. "I've finished analyzing you." As Sariel finished speaking briefly and spread her wings, light fell from the sky and destroyed everything - both the magic bombardment Evelyn was shooting and the magic she was preparing for the ambush. "Huh..." When Evelyn lowered her hand with trembling pupils in confusion, Sariel's light shot out once more and rushed toward her chest. Jeoooooong! Just as Sariel's light was about to pierce through Evelyn's chest, a silver-shining sword surged up and struck away the divine power's flash. "Analysis complete on this side too." Lust drew a seductive smile worthy of the name Monarch of Lust and curled up her red lips. "To the heavenly realm's doll pretending to have no emotions..." She wiggled her finger while facing Sariel's quiet eyes. "I'll teach you what fear is."
