The Reincarnated Assassin Is a Genius Swordsman

Chapter 1403 What is a scale? Scales are a tool for measuring the mass of an object using the principle of a lever, by connecting plates of equal weight to a horizontal bar. It's a tool originally made to tilt to one side, but now, something was different. Kugugugugugugugu! A terrifying amount of gold coins falls onto the right plate of the golden scale floating behind Greed, the Monarch of Greed. As the golden waves poured down more fiercely than Ratma Falls, said to be the most magnificent on the Continent, everyone on the battlefield lowered their weapons and stared blankly at the scale. Kiiiiiiiik! As Greed's scale tilted to the right, the chains stretched and a bizarre sound echoed. That gloomy sound seemed to flow from hell, or crawl up from an endless abyss. "It's always good to hear." Greed rolled up the corners of his mouth long, seeming pleased by the sound of gold coins falling onto the scale's plate. "The honest sound of money." He nodded refreshingly, saying there's nothing as honest and direct as money. Kugugugugugugugu! Gold coins poured endlessly from the dimension split in golden light, and Greed's scale gradually grew larger while the angle of the right plate's tilt began to increase. "Wh, what..." Archangel Raguel swallowed dry saliva while watching Greed's scale grow higher than the sky and wider than the earth. "What the hell are you doing!" He bit his lips while looking at his own scale of judgment that was small enough to stick to his hand, unlike Greed's scale that seemed ready to reach the sky. "What do you mean? I'm scattering money." Greed shrugged as if it was nothing special. "To destroy heaven." He bared his white teeth, saying he would destroy not only Raguel but heaven itself that gives power to the Angels. "Nonsense!" Archangel Raguel ground his teeth so hard his jaw shook. "Right now I have the power of the heavenly realm with me!" Raguel strongly gripped the scale embedded in his left hand, saying that Greed's filthy money wouldn't work on him. "The money of an ugly merchant won't work!" Raguel stretched out his scale of judgment with his hand placed on the horn of destruction, as if he would never lose. The scale's plate tilted deeply to the right where Greed's sins had settled. At the same time, all five feathers on the left plate were dyed black. Kwaaaaaang! Heaven seemed angry as it emitted magnificent golden radiance and struck down thousands of chains made of lightning. Kwaddddddeuk! The chains fell in an instant and wrapped around Greed, the Monarch of Greed's entire body. So many chains surrounded him that only his golden glowing eyes were visible. "The judgment given to you is summary execution!" As Archangel Raguel flipped his scale, saying he would deliver judgment on behalf of heaven, the golden chains became more than twice as thick and burst into intense flames. Pudddddeuk! The golden burning chains created increasingly stronger pressure, and eerie sounds flowed out as if Greed's bones and flesh were being crushed and melting. "De, demon king!" Krein screamed while watching Greed being crushed wrapped in chains. "Are, are you alri... hm?" Krein trembled his jaw slightly while looking at Raguel's scale emitting magnificent light. "What is it?" Raguel's scale emitted even greater divine power than before, shaking heaven and earth, but it wasn't as scary or frightening as before. Even now it completely confined Greed, but strangely there was no feeling of unease. 'The pillar...' Is shaking. The plate of the scale embedded in Archangel Raguel's hand was completely tilted to the right, but the pillar supporting that plate was shaking. "It's the first time that pillar has shaken..." It was the moment when Krein realized why his fear of Raguel had disappeared and said that the pillar was shaking. "You have quite the eye." A voice mixed with laughter flowed from Greed who was trapped in heaven's chains. "Huh...? Are, are you okay?" Krein opened his eyes wide, wondering if he was already dead. "Since the judge's conviction has wavered, these chains are..." Greed's laughter deepened and the golden chains wrapped around him began to shake. "Not even as good as rotten rope." As Greed's voice overflowing with confidence spread, the chains of heaven surrounding him burst like balloons filled with air. Paaaaaaang! Greed brushed off the finely broken chains and drew a fresh smile that didn't match this battlefield. "Ah..." Raguel bit his lips deeply while watching Greed's smile. "I brought down judgment light five times stronger..." He trembled the hand holding the scale, saying it was an incomprehensible result. "I told you." Greed smiled while watching the chains melting away in light. "Judgment with broken conviction isn't scary." He wagged his finger while watching Raguel's scale shake. "Shut up!" Raguel ground his teeth and shook his head fiercely. "How could a filthy demon know heaven's will!" He clenched his fist, saying Greed could never understand his judgment. "That might be true. However..." Greed smiled and raised his hand. "I know the weight of money that's heavier than heaven." As he raised his index finger, the scale that had already grown larger and wider than heaven began to burn with golden light. "Money doesn't lie, and its conviction doesn't waver. Rather, the convictions of those who use that money are bound to collapse." Greed curled up the corners of his mouth, saying nothing exists as honest as money. "I'll show you the power of that money." A sun rose above his finger. The sun of money created by melting gold coins emitted a more magnificent and brilliant light than the true sun. "Ugh..." Raguel ground his teeth hard enough to make crunching sounds while looking at the sun of gold coins that covered the heaven he revered. "Do not insult me! The heavens!" He gripped the horn of destruction tightly as if he wouldn't collapse like this, simultaneously manifesting heaven's power and destructive force. Kwaaaaaang! The scale embedded in Raguel's left hand became a massive gavel that delivers judgment. He swung down the gavel while emitting chilling killing intent as if he would smash Greed's head. "I've never insulted heaven. It's just..." Greed let out a leisurely laugh even though a massive gavel was falling toward his head. "Money and I are simply above it." As he lowered his finger, the sun he had created with money began to fall. Kugugugugugugugu! The sun of gold coins melted the gavel containing heaven's power and destructive force in an instant, and began burning Raguel's entire body standing behind it. "Kyaaaaaaaak!" Raguel screamed and struggled as if feeling terrible pain for the first time in his life, but the flames made of gold coins stuck like mud and would never fall off. "Uhhhhhh... urk!" Raguel, covered in gold coins that bubbled and boiled like lava, couldn't even scream properly with his throat blocked and only let out faint sounds of his breath being cut off. "What was it called, the Eight Hot Hells? I heard there's a hell where sinners who received heaven's judgment go." Greed stroked his chin while watching Raguel suffer buried in hot gold coins. "In the end, even the corrupted judge fell into that hell." He sent leisurely applause, saying it suited him well. "N, no..." "Farewell." When Greed flicked his finger, the endlessly burning gold coins rapidly cooled and Raguel froze with his hand stretched out as if begging for his life. He suffered from the extreme temperature difference of the gold coins and the light in his eyes faded as if his breath had been cut off. "Uhhh..." Krein swallowed dry saliva as if he couldn't imagine that a being called an Archangel would die so easily. "It wasn't a bad fight." Greed brushed off his hands while looking at Raguel's corpse hardened in gold. "Of course, it didn't deviate from my expectations by an inch." He took a short breath as if he had been expecting this result from the beginning. Even though he had defeated Archangel Raguel, he still seemed to have plenty of leisure. "It, it's unbelievable!" "How could Lord Raguel..." "He, he's fallen! He was played by the Monarch of Greed's tongue!" "He's a monster! That's a real demon!" The Angels seemed more horrified by Raguel being corrupted by Greed and having his conviction collapse than by what happened to Archangel Raguel, and they retreated in terror. "There's nothing in this world that money can't handle." Greed snickered and stepped on Raguel's scale that had fallen to the ground, crushing it. "Ah, there was one thing though." He curled up the corners of his mouth while looking at the golden flames that made the entire sky ripple. "Um, over there..." Krein carefully approached Greed who was looking at Raon. "Thank you!" He bowed his head, saying he was grateful for helping them and fighting the Archangel. "No need to be grateful. It's just..." Greed looked up at the sky again and waved his chin. "It was just a deal." He smiled, saying it was a deal made with Raon. "Bu, but I couldn't be of any help..." "Your help starts now." Greed smiled and grabbed Krein's shoulder. "Go over to that fallen judge." He pushed Krein, telling him to go to Raguel who had died buried in gold coins. "Uh..." Krein stood next to Raguel's corpse with trembling steps. "He, here?" "Yes. Perfect." It was the moment Greed nodded, saying he went well. Kwaddeuk! With a sound like stone breaking, the horn of destruction that had been buried in gold coins with Raguel fell. "Huh...?" Krein blinked and grabbed the horn with gold stuck to it. "Give that to me." Greed nodded, saying that would be helpful. "Huh? Ah, yes!" Krein nodded and handed the horn to Greed. "Foolish!" A high-ranking Angel snorted while watching Krein hand the horn of destruction to Greed. "That horn belongs to heaven! A demon king can never touch it!" He shook his head, saying the proof was that other demon kings couldn't touch the horn. "Thanks for the advice. So..." Greed smiled and held out a gold coin to Krein. "We need to make a deal." He handed the gold coin to Krein and then received the horn of destruction. "Huh...?" The high-ranking Angel swallowed dry saliva while watching the horn of destruction held demurely in Greed's hands. "Ho, how..." "As you said, I as a demon can't touch it, but this human can. And..." Greed smiled while looking at Krein holding the gold coin. "The concept of trade applies to humans, Angels, and demons alike." He waved his hand, saying he had shattered the concept that demons couldn't possess it through trade. "It, it's impossible. How..." The moment the high-ranking Angel muttered that it was impossible and opened his eyes, a gold coin fell on his head. Puuuuuung! The high-ranking Angel hit by a tiny gold coin had his head shattered and died. "I told you." Greed smiled while caressing the horn of destruction. "I said there's nothing in this world that can't be done with money." He waved the hand that threw the gold coin, saying to remember his advice well too. "Hmm..." Krein swallowed dry saliva while watching Greed carefully touching the horn of destruction. "This..." He looked at Raon fighting Uriel with trembling eyes and sniffled. "I think I've caused trouble...?" * * * "That makes five..." Raon felt Raguel's breath being cut off and raised his Divine Sword and Demonic Sword. He thrust his two swords toward Uriel who was swinging Apocalypse with cold eyes. "Now only you remain." Raon looked into Uriel's eyes arrogantly and muttered amidst the surging waves where golden flames and crimson flames clashed. "Archangel Uriel."
