The Reincarnated Assassin Is a Genius Swordsman

Chapter 1400 "You'll try?" Gabriel's red lips curved in mockery. "You cannot defeat me." She spoke of her victory with determination as if she had already seen the outcome of the battle. The sky responded to her words filled with certainty beyond confidence by emitting brilliant light. "Uugh..." Dorian trembled his lips as if it was difficult to even look at the halo shining behind Gabriel. Upon hearing that they couldn't win against her, his strength drained as if he had already lost, and his body seemed to slump down. "Get a grip..." Despite her weak tone, Gluttony struck Dorian's back hard. "Uwaak!" Dorian was hit on the back by Gluttony and stumbled forward. "That's also divine words..." Gluttony said that all words coming from Gabriel's mouth now contained divine power, and she lowered her head to look into the eyes of the fallen Dorian. "Give strength to your soul and endure..." She slowly nodded, telling him to overcome Gabriel's divine words with the Authority of Gluttony. "Th-that..." Dorian swallowed his dry saliva as he looked into Gluttony's eyes. "How do I do that?" He tilted his head as if he had no idea at all. "...Hm?" Gluttony also blinked blankly as if she couldn't understand Dorian. "You have a lot of <Gluttony> though...?" She trembled her pupils narrowly for the first time as if asking why he didn't know that. "I-I just lived normally as Lord Raon told me to..." Dorian scratched his cheek, saying he didn't really know that his Authority of Gluttony had grown stronger. "Ha! It was a human that couldn't even become an insect." Gabriel burst into hollow laughter as if she found Dorian's words absurd. "You tried to use the Authority of <Gluttony> planted in that human's soul, but it became useless." She curled up the corners of her mouth long as if she was pleased that Gluttony's plan had been ruined. "..." Despite receiving Gabriel's mockery, Gluttony looked at Dorian as if nothing had happened. "That's right. Do as you've been doing." Even though Dorian said he didn't know how to handle souls, she nodded as if it didn't matter, telling him to act as usual. "A-as usual...?" Dorian clutched his head as if he didn't quite know what that usual behavior meant. "..." Gluttony helped Dorian up as if that was enough, then looked at Gabriel. "There is no more 'usual' left for you now." Gabriel stepped forward wrapped in mighty divine power as if she would kill Gluttony and Dorian here. [Be crushed.] As she uttered divine words filled with intense killing intent, the space where Gluttony and Dorian stood began to crumple. Jjijijijjik! Just before Dorian was torn apart by Gabriel's divine words along with the cold sweat flowing from his forehead, a white mouth popped out and devoured the splitting space. "Whew..." It was Gluttony. The mouth she created with her Authority had devoured Gabriel's divine words. "Uugh..." Dorian drooled from his trembling mouth as he watched the space that had split right in front of his nose return to its original form. "Th-this is worse than Dragon words..." He exhaled roughly, saying that even the Ancient Dragons' word magic wasn't this intense. "Right. It's similar to that..." Gluttony nodded with her lips slightly trembling. "But the power can't be compared to those lizards..." She said the power was different as she looked at the horn trumpet that brought destruction swaying from Gabriel's waist. "Th-then it's not similar at all!" Dorian trembled his lips, saying it was completely different. "Anyway, we can win..." Gluttony reached out her hand to Dorian. "You keep saying only that..." Dorian sniffled as if it was too hard and lonely. "B-but let's try anyway!" Since he had already mustered his courage, he grasped Gluttony's hand as if there was no choice. "No..." Gluttony looked at Dorian's hand and slowly blinked her eyes. "Give me something to eat..." This time again, she asked Dorian for food and shook her head. "Do what you like..." Gluttony once again told him to act as usual and firmly grasped Dorian's hand. "Hmm..." Dorian looked at Gluttony's hand that gave warm heat, then bit his lip and nodded. "Ah, I understand." He nodded vigorously and pulled out a bead ice cream box from his pouch. "Hmm...?" Gluttony blinked her eyes as she looked at the bead ice cream box Dorian had taken out. "You said it was the last one earlier..." "The chocolate flavor you wanted was the last one!" Dorian shook his head vigorously and wiped away the tears that had formed around his eyes. "There's plenty of bead ice cream! And I have all the flavors too!" He clenched his fist as if it was still far from over. "Because it's a necessity for the quartermaster of the Light Wind Palace!" * * * "Haah..." Gabriel exhaled turbidly as she watched Gluttony receiving and eating bead ice cream from the human. "Pathetic." She shook her head with a frown as if irritation was rising. "I've wasted time." Despite her young appearance, Gluttony was one of the older demon kings of her era. Having reigned as a Monarch of the Devildom for a long time and accumulated power and experience, she tried not to let her guard down no matter how weak she seemed. But the current Gluttony was definitely in a weakened state. She received great shock every time she blocked her divine words, and seeing her indulging in gluttony by relying on a human even during battle made Gabriel angry at herself for fighting such an opponent. 'She must have consumed quite a lot of power creating a new dimension and healing that human's broken body.' Gluttony had used the power she should have used to attack her to create a new dimension and heal the human's wounds to save others. It was an incredibly foolish action. "I'll kill you all and dispose of that human together with Uriel." Gabriel said she wouldn't waste any more time on Gluttony and amplified her divine power. [Disappear.] Originally, divine words required greater power and had backlash the stronger the words used. But against the current Gluttony, it didn't matter to use strong words. She didn't have much Authority of Gluttony left. Jjijijijijijik! Gluttony, who was greedily eating human food, and the human next to her became blurry as if they would soon disappear. Wooooooook! Just as she was about to turn her back, thinking that Gluttony and the human would turn black and disappear. Paaaaang! A white mouth sprouted above Gluttony's head and devoured her divine words that had tried to erase her completely. "Hmm..." Gluttony took a short breath as if nothing had happened and began eating ice cream again. "I-I thought I was going to die..." The human muttered that more than half of his body had disappeared and trembled all over. "What..." Gabriel looked at Gluttony with an incomprehensible expression. 'She's definitely weakened.' The current Gluttony was only at a level where she could be killed without difficulty if Gabriel used all her divine power, but she couldn't understand how she was still alive. [Burst apart!] Gabriel uttered divine words with even stronger power than when she said disappear, as if she would completely kill Gluttony and Dorian. Kugugugugugugu! Gluttony and Dorian instantly shrank to half their size. Even when the two were crushed as if hit by a giant's hammer and compressed to the point of bursting, a white mouth sprouted. Peoooooook! The white mouth devoured Gabriel's divine power that had tried to burst Gluttony and Dorian, then smacked its lips long before disappearing. "What...?" Gabriel trembled her chin as if dumbfounded. "Wh-what is this? How are you enduring this!" She wrinkled the bridge of her nose as she looked at Gluttony as if she could never understand. "I..." Gluttony slowly lifted her gaze while looking at the bead ice cream in her hand. "I can only survive by putting something in my mouth..." She shook her head, saying she couldn't control her own appetite. "I ate many things while living in the Devildom... Demonic Beasts, Demons, demon kings, rivers, mountains, and even countries." Gluttony exhaled coldly, saying she ate many things to survive. "I devoured everything I held dear and became king, but it was meaningless... I still put things in my mouth, but it was always empty... However..." She looked up at Raon who was creating fierce flames in the sky. "Thanks to meeting Wrath on this land, I learned what taste is..." Gluttony nodded, saying she learned taste for the first time thanks to Wrath. "My <Gluttony> is a monster that isn't satisfied even after eating mountains and seas, but when I experience true taste, I feel satiated for a moment..." She smiled gently, saying she learned the taste that could subdue gluttony in the Human World. "And in that state, I can use Authority stronger than anything..." The moment Gluttony said she could use strong Authority. Peoooooong! With a roar like breaking rocks, Gabriel's arm wrapped in sacred light burst off. "Aaaahh!" Gabriel screamed as she looked at her right arm that had been torn off. "Wh-when!" She bit her lips as she looked at her torn arm as if she hadn't felt it at all. "I told you..." Gluttony shook her head while putting the bead ice cream she had been holding in her mouth. "That I can use strong power..." She ate ice cream again, saying the gluttony she felt now would be different from before. "Of course, the strong power right now..." Gluttony looked at Dorian beside her and moved her jaw. "Is thanks to this friend..." She called Dorian a friend and drew a faint smile. "Thanks to this friend's courage, the Authority of <Gluttony> is endlessly amplifying..." Gluttony blinked, saying she felt like she could go without eating anything for 10 minutes now. "How dare you! Don't mock me!" Gabriel bit her lips as if she thought Gluttony was mocking her. [Come back!] She used divine words to restore her torn arm to its original form. "I was trying to save my strength to kill that human, but..." Gabriel grasped the horn trumpet that brought destruction swaying at her waist so hard it might break, as if she would use all her power. "I'll show you the true power of divine words!" She stomped her feet as if she would end it here and stepped forward toward Gluttony. [Die!] * * * "Haah..." Despite feeling Gabriel's anger, Dorian didn't stop his hands. 'I'm enjoying this.' Could there be anyone who matches this well with me? He liked preparing things for situations where something might be needed, and when the situation came where those things were needed and he could hand them over, he felt the ultimate thrill. The reason he had always said "essential items" and immediately handed over what Raon and the other Light Wind Palace Swordsmen needed was precisely because of this. But he had never felt such joy as he did now in any moment. Gluttony was a demon king who became stronger every time she ate something delicious, and he still had plenty of the bead ice cream she needed. When he gave the most needed thing to someone who needed it and saw their satisfied expression, he felt even more satisfied and felt like he could do anything. 'Is this what moving the soul means?' Deep inside his chest. No, deep in his soul, the Authority of <Gluttony> that had been settled was surging and giving him strength and vitality. Thanks to this, he could move without any hesitation even in the face of Gabriel's terrifying aura and killing intent. However, something was different now. When Gabriel said to die, his breath was suddenly blocked and his head became hazy, making it impossible to stand any longer. His hands and feet lost strength and just as he was about to drop the bead ice cream he was holding and fall, a small hand supported him. "It's okay..." It was Gluttony. She nodded with a face carrying a faint smile as if it was enough now. "You endured well..." Even in this moment when his vision was blurring as if death was approaching, Gluttony said she was glad she trusted him and took a step forward. <Devour.> The moment Gluttony gave the command to devour, an upper mouth sprouted from above the sky and a lower mouth burst out from below the ground. A massive mouth that could devour all of heaven and earth and still have room began to slowly close to devour Archangel Gabriel. "Wh-what! What is that mouth!" Gabriel kicked off the ground to avoid the mouth falling toward her. [Get away!] [Disappear!] [Bounce away!] [Be erased!] [Die! I said die!] She poured out all her divine words while retreating, but she could never escape from the giant mouth. [Th-this is impossible! What is that thing!] Gabriel exploded her remaining divine power to escape the battlefield and arrived at the southern end of the Continent. "Hah! Hah! Now it should be gone... Huh?" When she exhaled roughly and raised her head with difficulty, the giant mouth was falling above her head as if it had been there from the beginning. "H-how..." Gabriel stood in place and trembled all over as if she realized she could never escape from the mouth Gluttony had created. "W-wait! Please spare..." Before she could finish saying to spare her, the lips of the white mouth that was larger than heaven and earth met. Peoooooook! Archangel Gabriel was not between lips, but was chewed between giant teeth, bursting with crimson blood as her breath was cut off. Ptui. The white mouth didn't swallow Gabriel's crushed corpse, but chewed a few more times before spitting it out. "Well done..." Gluttony calmly nodded as she looked at Gabriel's dead body. "I can't eat something that tastes bad..."
