The Reincarnated Assassin Is a Genius Swordsman

Chapter 1396 "Analysis?" Archangel Sariel tilted her chin sideways as if questioning. "I have not exposed any weakness to you all." She shook her head with emotionless eyes, saying she had never shown any weakness of hers. "You should be able to tell, shouldn't you?" Lust seductively raised her hand and placed it over her own chest. "Since you must have already grasped my heartbeat and muscle movements." She smiled broadly, asking if she couldn't distinguish truth from falsehood through heartbeat and muscle movements. "......" Sariel said nothing and quietly observed Lust. "...It's false." She said it was false, but as if she felt that Lust's words were sincere, her lips moved very slightly, barely noticeable. "You can say that, but..." Lust smiled broadly and drew a circle with her finger. "You can't deceive yourself." Lust chuckled as if she had noticed through Sariel's eyes that she was lying. "......" Sariel looked at her own chest and slowly closed her eyes, then opened them. "I have not deceived myself." She shook her head, saying her emotions had not changed. "Then watch." Lust raised the sword in her hand and aimed it toward Archangel Sariel's neck. "My sword piercing through your neck." She curled up the corners of her mouth confidently as if she was certain. "......" Sariel didn't fall for Lust's provocation this time either. She just stood in the same position as before and watched Lust. "......" Lust also no longer opened her mouth. She looked at Sariel with intensely flashing pupils and drew a smile filled with desire. Gooooooo! The rock-solid and calm gaze of Sariel and the beastlike madness and euphoria overflowing from Lust's gaze formed a polar contrast. "Since it's boring to just stare..." Lust disappeared, leaving behind a smile filled with desire. "Let me go first." Before she could even finish exhaling one breath, she appeared behind Sariel and thrust her sword. It was a perfect sword path showing no gaps. Jeoooooong! However, Sariel didn't even look back at Lust and erected a wall with golden radiance blooming from her eight wings, blocking the demon king's sword strike. It seemed she had grasped her attack through Lust's muscle movements. "Hmph." Lust struck down her sword toward Sariel's wing with excited eyes as if she had expected that much. The blade imbued with sharpness that could even split the air fell toward the pure white wing. Jeoooooong! Sariel instead raised her wing wrapped in divine power's light and struck away Lust's fiercely falling sword before it could exert its full force. Uuuuuuung! Sariel was not satisfied with simply defending. She seemed to have grasped the flow of Lust's swordsmanship from one clash, greatly reducing the impact compared to before so that not even her hair swayed. "Impressive?" Lust let out a thin exclamation. "It wasn't a lie that you're good at analysis?" She too twisted her mouth as if feeling Sariel penetrating her swordsmanship. "But the thing about swords..." Lust briefly clicked her tongue and shook her head. "They can't be grasped that easily." The trajectory of the sword she wielded changed drastically. Splendor and change dwelt within sharpness and speed, drawing shapes like demon's horns. "Hmm..." Sariel also seemed to feel that Lust's swordsmanship had changed and stepped back, trying to use her wing's light. But the speed of Lust's sword penetrating was faster. The blade she roughly thrust cut thinly through Sariel's wing and passed by. Paaaak! Blood burst from Sariel's wing that seemed like it would never waver, and feathers whiter than first snow were stained red. "How's that?" Lust placed the sword stained with Sariel's blood on her shoulder and smiled broadly. "It's different, right? They say demons become stronger when they fall in love." She clicked her tongue, saying she had improved her swordsmanship achievement by watching Raon. "When did you see him!" Evelyn gritted her teeth as if she was annoyed just by Lust observing Raon. "When you're in love, your eyes naturally go there." Lust smiled broadly, saying her pupils turned there automatically even if she didn't want them to. "That's right." Evelyn nodded as if she could relate. "And you become stronger." She looked at Raon in the sky with heated eyes, saying one grows for the person they love. "..." Archangel Sariel looked up at the sky following Evelyn and Lust. She briefly looked at Uriel, but as if feeling nothing, she calmly exhaled and looked down at Lust's sword again. "You're observing diligently?" Lust curled up her lips while pointing her sword tip toward the sky. "But it's still meaningless!" She leaped like a beast as if confident and created dozens of sword lights. The sword strikes that extended as if cutting through the air suddenly changed direction and dropped right above Sariel's head. "Huu." Sariel calmly regulated her breathing and then spread her wings. Thick beams of light extended from her wings like sword energy through divine power, striking away all the sword strikes Lust had poured down. "Speed and intervals..." Even though Sariel had perfectly struck away Lust's sword strikes, she moved her lips slightly and muttered something alone. "You block it annoyingly well and then what are you muttering about!" Lust seemed annoyed that her sword strikes were perfectly blocked and put her sword in its sheath with a frown. Tuuuung! She shattered the ground and advanced, thrusting a Drawing Technique imbued with extreme speed and precision toward Sariel. Lust's Drawing Technique wasn't just fast and accurate. The sword tip swayed thinly like a Flexible Sword, creating dozens of afterimages that shot toward vital points all over Sariel's body. "Illusions and speed..." Sariel coolly watched the dozens of blades approaching her with intelligent eyes as if still analyzing Lust's swordsmanship. She observed not only the sword but also Lust's breathing, mana flow, muscle tension, and even the direction of her pupils behind it. "I see." Just before Lust's sword touched her skin, Sariel briefly nodded as if she had grasped everything and spread her wings. Paaaaaaang! Blades made of divine power's light surged from Sariel's wings and clashed with Lust's sword strikes. In a normal battle, Lust's sword should have shattered the light swords that were merely magic compared to divine power and penetrated through, but now it couldn't pierce through and was blocked in the middle like it was hung on a wall. "What?" Lust frowned as if it was absurd and tried to thrust her sword again, but Sariel was faster. Paaaaaaang! Light that surged again from Sariel's wings shot faster than Lust's consecutive attacks and thinly cut through her shoulder. "Analysis is complete." Sariel raised her chin while spreading her eight wings wrapped in light. "Now your sword will not reach me." She narrowed her eyes, saying she had perfectly grasped Sariel's swordsmanship. "Impressive." Lust let out an empty laugh looking at Sariel's light swords that not only blocked her own sword strikes but also blocked True Sword thrusts and even counterattacked. "It's an absurd level of analytical ability." From watching the fight with Evelyn, she knew that Archangel Sariel had a special talent for analysis. But she didn't know it would be to the extent of perfectly grasping her sword in such a short moment. "Unlike this side..." Lust chuckled while looking at the distorted sky and the horn trumpet that brings destruction at Sariel's waist. "Though it's probably thanks to receiving much support." It's almost impossible for Sariel, who just became an archangel, to possess such special abilities. Sariel was definitely receiving power directly from the heavenly realm and amplifying her divine power through the horn trumpet that brings destruction to enhance her analytical abilities. "You saw her fighting with me." Evelyn narrowed her brow as if asking what she was doing. "That's not ordinary!" She shook her head, saying it was analytical ability similar to Raon's level. "I know. It's just..." Lust leisurely shrugged her shoulders as if she had anticipated the current result. "It was a preparatory process to grasp how fast the analysis speed is." She smiled gently, saying it was an essential element. "It took 0.1 seconds to grasp phantom sword, and analyzing the swordsmanship itself took less than 0.2 seconds." Lust rotated her finger, saying it was an absurd analysis speed. 'She's not an easy opponent.' If she could use all of her true body's power, she could win, but with her power suppressed like now, she wasn't an opponent that could be easily defeated. "It wasn't 0.1 seconds, it was 0.05 seconds." Sariel slightly lowered her eyebrows, saying her analysis speed was faster. "And if you know that, you must understand? You cannot defeat me." She spread her eight wings grandly, saying Lust and Evelyn could not break through her analysis and reactions. "You know..." Lust curled up her red lips and looked into Sariel's eyes. "You're feeling good right now, aren't you?" She clicked her tongue as if she knew everything. "What?" Sariel narrowed her pupils as if asking what she meant. "Didn't it feel refreshing to turn back what I said and prove that you could analyze my sword?" Lust nodded as if she knew all of Sariel's heart. "Absolutely not..." Sariel was about to firmly refute when her chin trembled slightly. 'Wait. My heartbeat is different.' Just as Lust said, her heartbeat was faster than usual as if she was excited, and heat had even risen in her body. "Your heartbeat has quickened." Lust smiled as if she knew that too. "No, this is because my breathing quickened from fighting." Sariel shook her head, saying emotions hadn't arisen. "Emotions are unnecessary. They do not exist within me." She furrowed her brow, saying emotions and such did not exist within her. "Your analysis is wrong. You cannot grasp me and..." "No." Lust cut off Sariel's words and calmly shook her head. "Everything is going as expected?" She smiled broadly, saying nothing was wrong. "..." Sariel looked at Lust with narrowed eyes. 'What is this?' Right now, Lust's heartbeat was too steady and calm. It was in a stable state like when reading a book or drinking tea rather than fighting, and in contrast, her own heart was beating faster and faster, which was too confusing. 'I need to slow it down.' Sariel regulated her breathing and forcibly calmed down her quickened heartbeat. "The ground has been prepared, so now you need to build the house." Lust saw Sariel breathing out slowly and let out a thin smile. "Build a house?" Evelyn blinked her eyes as if she didn't know what that meant. "You, confess to Wrath after this war is over." Lust called Raon in the sky Wrath and narrowed her eyes. "Huh? I confess every day though?" Evelyn blinked her eyes, saying she tells him she likes him every day even now. "Stop playing around..." Lust smiled broadly and raised her finger to press her red lips gently. "Make a real marriage proposal and attack him at night." "Uh...? Uhhhhh!" Evelyn's chin trembled as if she hadn't expected Lust to say attack him. "N-no, that's a bit..." She reddened both cheeks as if embarrassed, seemingly never having thought about actually attacking him. "Ahh..." Evelyn's face grew redder and redder. She seemed to have forgotten that she was in a life-or-death battle right now, looking at Raon in the sky and repeatedly clenching and opening her hands. "Right now..." Sariel frowned as she looked at Evelyn and Lust. "What are you doing?" She bit her lips slightly, not even knowing that the heart she had barely stabilized was quickening again. "Don't interfere and wait a moment." Lust raised her hand toward Sariel who was showing anger. "Right now, from a 500-year-old sunflower..." She seductively swept back her pink hair that was beginning to sparkle gradually and let out a coquettish laugh befitting the demon king of lust. "Very thick <Lust> is blooming right now."
