The Reincarnated Assassin Is a Genius Swordsman

Chapter 1408 "Kugh!" Raon let out a low groan as he pulled out the Divine Sword and Demonic Sword that had been piercing Uriel's neck and heart. "What is this kind of heat..." The sword hilts of the Divine Sword and Demonic Sword were glowing red hot as if they would melt. It didn't make sense, but the heat from the flames blooming from Uriel's body seemed to have traveled beyond the blades to the hilts. "This is Terror Flame." The wounds carved into Archangel Uriel's neck and chest burned with crimson flames and were erased. However, his flames were different from the previous Crimson Flame. The exterior was still crimson, but inside held a deep yellow color as if containing the sun. "Before Terror Flame that erases everything, neither human flames nor demon king's frost can work!" He spread his eight wings in an even more perfect form than when he first appeared in this world. "Terror Flame..." Raon narrowed his eyes as he looked at the crimson flames burning above Archangel Uriel's wings. 'Something is definitely different.' The blades of the Divine Sword and Demonic Sword were burning with Ten Thousand Flames Cultivation's flames and Glacier's frost. No matter how hot the flames they touched, the heat couldn't possibly travel beyond the blade to the hilt, yet Uriel's flames made that impossible thing possible. 'And it was heat that could pierce through my hands.' Currently, he possessed physical abilities on a different level from even Transcendents through various characteristics. His attribute resistance had also surpassed human limits, yet for it to pierce through that resistance and make him feel pain as if his flesh was sizzling - it was an impossible thing. 'And he even healed wounds with flames.' It wasn't even a Phoenix that revives from death through flames, and he never expected to see wounds being healed with flames. If the power of Terror Flame he just witnessed was real, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it was a perfect power capable of attack, defense, and even recovery. -It is as you say. Wrath frowned as if annoyed. -The true flame of destruction that pigeon possesses is not Crimson Flame but... He exhaled deeply while glaring at the Terror Flame. -That Terror Flame. Wrath bit his lips, saying that flame contained the power of destruction. 'True power of destruction...' Raon's fingertips trembled slightly at the chilling sensation from the word destruction. "Now that Terror Flame has emerged..." Uriel raised Apocalypse, burning with subtle Crimson Flame, above his head. "Your given opportunity has ended." He proudly lifted his chin as if the method to kill him had now disappeared. "Die." The eight white wings Uriel spread burned with crimson flames, and his body took on the form of a fire bird as it flew forth. Wuuuuuung! Raon deployed Fire Wall with the Divine Sword and drew Silver Aurora with the Demonic Sword. Chiiiiiik! Uriel's sword, which would have been blocked by the Divine Sword and Demonic Sword before, burned through Fire Wall and melted even Silver Aurora as it instantly dug toward Raon's neck. "Hmm!" Raon bent his waist and urgently stepped on Supreme Harmony Steps. If he had been even a little late, Uriel's sword would have pierced his neck, leaving not even ashes and erasing him from this world. "You're as quick as a rat." Uriel twisted his lips up and swung around Apocalypse that had pierced the air. Every time his sword moved, the air rippled as if melting, and sizzling heat haze surged up. "But how long can you run away?" He spewed Crimson Flame from his reddened wings and charged forward, thrusting Apocalypse. Huuuuuuung! Raon barely read the flow coming from Uriel's sword and escaped the trajectory of Apocalypse wreathed in Terror Flame by the thickness of a sheet of paper. Kwaaaaa! The space exposed to Terror Flame in his place melted away. Black cracks sprouted in the air like earth where lava had flowed down. 'What incredible power.' Raon exhaled hot breath as he looked at Uriel's sword burning with Terror Flame. 'Ten Thousand Flames Cultivation's fire and Glacier's cold energy aren't working at all.' He too wielded flames and heat that could burn and freeze everything, but before Uriel's Terror Flame, everything seemed useless. "You have the look of someone who sees no answer." Uriel stroked his chin as if he could see all of Raon's thoughts from his expression. "But it's already too late. You too, and those maggots from the Devildom below, will all be purified before this flame." He raised even denser flames, saying he would purify all darkness with the Terror Flame burning from Apocalypse. "Sorry, but that won't happen." Raon calmly shook his head and raised the Divine Sword and Demonic Sword, whose light was gradually dimming as time passed. "What...?" Uriel frowned as if he couldn't understand Raon's words. "I'll break you, so your flames will never reach the demon kings." Even while facing Uriel's Terror Flame, Raon shook his head with eyes that showed he wasn't thinking of defeat. "Seems your head has been damaged from being paralyzed with fear." Uriel snorted while looking at Raon. "Good. I'll melt even your soul so you won't feel fear anymore." He raised Apocalypse as if he would end it right here. "No." Raon firmly shook his head toward Uriel. "A friend I trust more than anyone told me I could win." He looked at Wrath keeping his position beside him and drew a gentle smile. -Uh...? You, you bastard... Wrath looked at Raon with wide eyes. "If only to repay that trust..." Raon raised the Divine Sword and Demonic Sword that were emitting a denser light than before. "I'll break you right here." He declared he would defeat Archangel Uriel by giving everything and exhaled white breath. -Well said! Wrath exclaimed and raised his hand. -That Uriel bastard brought out Terror Flame, but he himself is definitely not in perfect condition! You can win! He shouted for Raon to give it his all while massaging his shoulder. "What...?" Uriel bit his lips deeply as if incredulous. "How dare a worm that can't even withstand Terror Flame's heat!" He charged toward Raon with eight wings spread, as if annoyed that Raon would even try to stand on the same level as him. Chwaaaaaaa! Uriel's Apocalypse fell fiercely like lightning, aiming for Raon's neck. The violent flames blooming from the blade distorting space as they descended was terror itself. "Haah..." Raon didn't retreat even while looking at the Terror Flame that would horrify any observer. 'I can never win by running away.' Terror Flame is a flame that grows stronger the more you retreat. To overcome that damned flame, there was no choice but to go straight forward. Tuuuuung! Raon instead charged straight into Uriel's endlessly burning Terror Flame and swung the Divine Sword and Demonic Sword simultaneously. Ten Thousand Flames Cultivation Heavenly Drive. Crimson Slash. Raon Zieghart Style swordsmanship. 1st Form: Frost Snap. Red and blue lines were drawn over the Terror Flame covering the sky. The two sword traces Raon drew with his sword were buried within the scorching Terror Flame. However, Raon didn't miss the gap where Terror Flame split and was able to escape into the empty space. "Huu..." Raon let out heavy breath from the Terror Flame's heat transmitted through his grip. "I can see a path now." He drew a faint smile while muttering that he had found an answer. "How clumsy." Uriel twisted his lips as if finding it ridiculous that Raon charged from the front then escaped to the side. "Fighting like that, you'll never be able to reach me in your lifetime." He said it was just a waste of time and tilted Apocalypse burning with Terror Flame toward the ground. "I'll burn you and everything you cherish." Uriel slashed upward with Terror Flame rising from the earth as if he would kill not just Raon but also the swordsmen of Light Wind Palace below. Kwaaaaaaaaa! Like a waterfall shooting upward, a massive whirlwind of flames surged up from the ground. "Huu." Raon exhaled briefly and leaped toward the Terror Flame that was about to fall toward Light Wind Palace. 'Wrath alone is not enough.' He was using Authority of Wrath to strengthen Glacier, but it was far insufficient to block Terror Flame. Rather than being satisfied with merely opening the demon kings' true Authorities as before, he would need to perfectly harmonize their power with his flames to block Terror Flame. Wuuuuuung! Raon shot out Snow Flower Demon Field with the Demonic Sword containing all of Authority of Wrath, while imbuing the Divine Sword with the Authorities of the other six demon kings. Gooooooo! When the demon kings' Authorities, different in nature from Ten Thousand Flames Cultivation's fire, wriggled and tried to resist, he resonated the Ring of Fire circling his heart to its extreme. Chwaaaaaaa! The Ring of Fire that could embrace all powers under heaven led the demon kings' Authorities and Ten Thousand Flames Cultivation's fire, which had not mixed like water and oil, into one path. Kugugugugu! Above the realm of body, mind, and energy becoming one, a new power called demon king's Authority was added. Chiaaaaaang! Raon felt such spine-tingling ecstasy from the abundant power filling his body and mind, yet was not satisfied. With the Divine Sword and Demonic Sword that shook heaven and earth, he drew out the ultimate sword technique containing the mysteries of Ten Thousand Swords. Kwaaaaaaa! The flames of the Divine Sword and frost of the Demonic Sword extended crossing each other and clashed with the Terror Flame sword trying to erase one axis of heaven and earth. Kuguugugugu! Previously, the Divine Sword and Demonic Sword would have been pushed back by the power of Apocalypse wreathed in Terror Flame, but now it was different. Jjijijijik! Raon broke into cold sweat but raised the Divine Sword and Demonic Sword without retreating before the Terror Flame sword. When the absolute's Willpower and the demon kings' Authorities harmonized in different colors, he could endure the Terror Flame said to bring destruction to the world. No, it wasn't just enduring. Unlike Uriel who merely trusted Terror Flame's power and swung his sword, Raon imbued the Divine Sword and Demonic Sword with ultimate swordsmanship, squeezing out all his power as a swordsman to carve another deep wound in the archangel's chest. Peoeoeoeoeoek! A bright red wound appeared on Uriel's chest. Terror Flame was burning from his body, but the wound from the Divine Sword was not erased. "Kheuk..." Unlike before, Uriel seemed to feel severe pain as he bent his upper body and vomited intense blood and groans. "You, you bastard..." He trembled his blood-soaked lips as if he had never imagined being wounded by Raon despite bringing out Terror Flame. "Didn't you say Terror Flame couldn't be defeated by human flames or demon king's frost?" Raon shook off the Divine Sword and Demonic Sword that had Terror Flame clinging to them. "Then I'll cut Terror Flame with demon king's flames and human frost." He looked down at Uriel with red eyes wrapped in nobility and arrogance as he lifted his chin. "Come."
