The Reincarnated Assassin Is a Genius Swordsman
Chapter 1415
Chapter 1415
"What!"
Darkan frowned while touching his ears.
"Who dares to speak to me at this important moment!"
He shouted not to interfere as if he thought he was still fighting with the Heavenly Demon and Glenn.
"I'm not finished yet!"
Darkan gathered his aura without letting go of his sword as if he would somehow join Glenn and the Heavenly Demon's fight again.
"Haaah..."
It was when Darkan was recovering his exhausted body and broken mind with the sole desire to fight.
[You want to fight again, so please calm down.]
The gentle voice that had tickled his ears earlier came again.
"Who are you!"
Darkan ground his teeth and turned his head. He focused aura on his ears as if he would find the owner of the gentle voice with his superhuman hearing.
[Who I am is not important.]
The gentle voice did not explain about himself as if he had no intention of revealing his identity.
"Do you think I'll listen to someone who doesn't even say who they are!"
Darkan waved his hand telling him not to interfere and to get lost.
[Let me say it again. Who I am is not important.]
The gentle voice continued speaking without much reaction to Darkan's anger.
[What's important is that I can help you.]
He smiled softly, saying he could be of great help to Darkan.
"Ha!"
Darkan let out a sneer toward the gentle voice.
"Let me say it again too! I don't trust some sinister bastard who won't even show himself!"
He shook his head vigorously, saying he couldn't trust some unknown bastard who only sent his voice from afar.
[Unfortunately, I'm in a state where I cannot show myself even if I wanted to.]
The gentle voice murmured that he could not appear before Darkan by his own will.
"Even a passing dog over there could make such excuses."
Darkan snorted while pointing at an Eden executive who was being chased while wearing a dog's helmet.
[It's the truth.]
The gentle voice paused for a moment before continuing.
[I'm sealed by Archangel Uriel and cannot move. The reason I can speak to you now is because Uriel died and the seal weakened.]
He let out a small sigh, saying he was trapped after being defeated by Uriel.
"Sealed? Then are you human too?"
Darkan wiggled his finger as if slightly interested.
[I am not human. My name is Azazel. I am an Angel who was once above the rank of Archangel.]
The gentle voice introduced itself as the Archangel Azazel.
"An Archangel?"
Darkan frowned upon hearing Azazel's words.
[You might think Archangels are enemies of humans, but I...]
"No, I'm not interested in the good and evil between humans and Angels."
He cut off Azazel's words and shook his head.
"Just tell me why you're talking to me."
Darkan lowered his eyebrows, saying everything else was fine, just get to the point.
[It's a deal.]
Azazel lowered its voice as if it were flowing from the abyss.
[If I help you, please free me after this war ends.]
It breathed heavily, asking to release the seal that Uriel left behind after the war.
"How can you help me?"
Darkan smacked his lips as if curious about that part.
[My ability is reinforcement and growth. I can elevate you to a level where you can defeat those absolute beings.]
Azazel said he would send the Divine power of growth to Darkan to make him surpass Glenn Zieghart and the Heavenly Demon.
[Additionally, I can even erase the injuries that are hindering your recovery right now.]
As soon as its words ended, the sword marks on Darkan's chest and the broken bones in his face returned to their original state.
[Not just wounds, but I can also restore your stamina, mental power, and aura that were consumed in battle.]
Azazel raised its voice, saying that erasing wounds was not all he could do.
"Huh..."
Darkan let out a hollow breath seeing the wounds on his chest and face that seemed like they would never heal in his lifetime disappear in an instant.
"You're real."
Darkan jutted out his chin, feeling that even if he didn't know whether what was talking to him now was Archangel Azazel, the power was real.
[Now you believe me.]
Azazel let out a voice mixed with a gentle laugh.
[Then will you accept my proposal?]
"..."
Darkan silently looked up at the sky. He slowly parted his lips while watching Glenn Zieghart and the Heavenly Demon who were still fighting, splattering blood.
"My answer is..."
**
Kuguuuuuuuuugu!
The battle between Sword God Glenn Zieghart and the Heavenly Demon became more intense as time passed.
Tzzzzzzzt!
Glenn's sword slashed through the Heavenly Demon's left chest, and the Heavenly Demon's fist shattered Glenn's ribs. Evenly matched. Both their martial prowess and mental power were in perfect balance, neither giving an inch to the other.
"Now I finally understand the reason I was born!"
The Heavenly Demon spat out blackened blood from his mouth while drawing a smile filled with ecstasy.
"I wasn't born for some damn restoration, but to fight you today in this world!"
He spoke words he shouldn't have as Eden's leader while throwing a fist that blazed and exploded with Fighting Spirit.
"Those aren't words befitting Eden's leader. However..."
Glenn shook his head in a calm tone.
"I feel the same way."
He said the reason he had built up his Sword Aura his entire life was for today's fight, and with a brighter smile than ever before, he drew up his sword blazing with lightning.
Tzeeeeeeeng!
The lightning sword and the Fighting Spirit fist collided, and a black sphere of mana began to condense in mid-air.
Kuwaaaaaang!
As Glenn and the Heavenly Demon pushed their sword and fist, the mana sphere swelled up and caused a massive explosion.
The moment colorful lights embroidered the dark sky like fireworks exploding, Glenn and the Heavenly Demon moved once more.
Tzeoooooooong!
Every time light splashed in the air like fireworks, Glenn's sword and the Heavenly Demon's fist clashed. The extreme of competition. The two absolute beings aimed for each other's lives with all their might as if they didn't know the meaning of exhaustion.
"I'm still not satisfied!"
The Heavenly Demon charged at Glenn without caring that the Demonic Dragon's helmet was cut off and blood was pouring from his head.
"Of course. There's still a long way to go."
Glenn nodded while sweeping up his blood-soaked Golden Hair. He charged at the Heavenly Demon with an expression he had never shown to anyone.
Kuuuuuuuung!
The Heavenly Demon and Glenn's martial arts clashed once more, and terrifying shockwaves shook heaven and earth. The area around the two absolute beings was already filled with cracks, and pitch-black darkness like space was rising.
However, the Heavenly Demon and Glenn seemed to be feeling something from each other, paying no mind to injuries and swinging sword and fist at each other. It was a chillingly mad spectacle, but it also looked sacred like Avatars of Martial Arts.
"I can see it."
The Heavenly Demon charged at Glenn like a buffalo with his white teeth bared.
"The ultimate that my fist draws!"
He threw his fist firmly as if feeling something through his battle with Glenn.
"It seems you're seeing it too."
Glenn smiled softly and deflected the fist of the Heavenly Demon who was leaping like a beast.
"The path that comes next."
He too seemed to be feeling the same thing as the Heavenly Demon, thrusting Heavenly Tremor with eyes filled with ecstasy.
Kuguuuuuuugu!
The confrontation between Glenn and the Heavenly Demon happening now wasn't just about deciding victory or defeat. No, originally it was meant to determine the winner.
But as the two absolute beings risked their lives and revealed their martial arts, a very small gap opened that could lead to the next realm. And that gap would only open its door to the victor of this fight.
"What comes next is important."
The Heavenly Demon chuckled and wiped away the blood bursting from his mouth with the back of his hand.
"But what's important to me is this match!"
He said he didn't care about the next realm and just extended his upright fist.
"You're crazy."
Glenn burst into laughter looking at the Heavenly Demon who wanted to trample him rather than seeking the next realm.
"That's why I like you."
Like the Heavenly Demon, he swung Heavenly Tremor diagonally with both hands as if winning this fight was more important than the next realm.
Tzeoooooong!
Glenn's sword and the Heavenly Demon's fist clashed endlessly, creating constellation-like sparks in the air. Even the two absolute beings who seemed like they would never tire like an inexhaustible spring appeared to be reaching their limits as the waves of power began to gradually subside.
-The true worth of a martial artist appears when their strength is exhausted.
Wrath narrowed his eyes while looking up at Glenn and the Heavenly Demon's fight.
-Now it will be the real fight.
The guy smacked his lips, saying it seemed like it would become more interesting from now on.
'How do you know that when you're not even a martial artist?'
Raon asked without taking his eyes off Glenn and the Heavenly Demon's fight.
-Because there's someone like living proof next to me.
Wrath looked at him and twisted his lips slightly.
-You never give up even when your strength is exhausted and always turn the situation around.
The guy nodded, saying he felt the true worth of a martial artist by watching him.
-Today was the same.
Wrath laughed, saying defeating Archangel Uriel was similar to that.
'Huh...?'
Raon blinked blankly at Wrath's rare praise.
-A-anyway! The winner of this fight will be able to gain a lot!
Wrath also seemed embarrassed after giving praise and narrowed his brow slightly.
'I think the same.'
Raon lowered his chin in agreement with Wrath's words.
'Both Grandfather and the Heavenly Demon are swinging sword and fist while feeling that next realm.'
He could feel it too. Glenn and the Heavenly Demon had grown by fighting against an archnemesis at the same level and were setting foot in the next realm.
'However...'
Raon shook his head while watching the Heavenly Demon and Glenn fighting with smiles.
'Those two don't even care about that.'
The Heavenly Demon and Glenn didn't care about the next realm and only thought of defeating their opponent. He felt envious that they could meet such an archnemesis and have a life-and-death duel.
-They're crazy bastards.
Wrath also let out a hollow laugh as if incredulous.
-That's why it's fun to watch. It's the most interesting fight I've seen in my life!
The guy giggled, saying he could pay any amount of money to watch such a fight.
'That's why it's regrettable.'
Raon jutted out his chin while clenching his fist tightly.
'Because it will be decided soon.'
Glenn and the Heavenly Demon's stamina and mental power had already reached their limits. Even if the two wanted to fight more, it would inevitably come to an end.
Wuuuuuuung!
As Raon had anticipated the end, Glenn and the Heavenly Demon also seemed to feel they had reached their limits and stepped back from each other after a fierce collision.
"They say enjoyable times pass quickly..."
The Heavenly Demon curled up his blood-soaked lips.
"Those words were true. I felt happiness for the first time in this boring world."
He clenched his fist with trembling hands as if the battle with Glenn was more enjoyable than anything else.
"If we survive this end..."
Glenn nodded with a tone mixed with a faint smile.
"Let's have a drink."
He raised Heavenly Tremor while mentioning drinks, even though he knew it wouldn't happen.
Kuguuuuuuugu!
Glenn and the Heavenly Demon no longer spoke to each other. They gathered their remaining energy and Willpower as if to end it with one final move.
Kuguuuuuuugu!
Terrifying energy waves surged up, making Glenn's robe flutter as if it would be torn apart, and blood remaining in the Heavenly Demon's wounds spurted out.
Seuuuuuu!
It was the moment Glenn and the Heavenly Demon took a step forward for their final collision.
"My answer is no!"
Darkan vigorously shook his head, rejecting Archangel Azazel's proposal.
"No matter if I reach the pinnacle, if it's not my own power, it has no meaning!"
He ground his molars, saying that becoming strong and winning with others' help was not the way he wanted.
"I will defeat Glenn Zieghart with my own power!"
Darkan kicked off the ground while burning his life-filled Willpower, saying he would participate in the final fight even if he died here.
Peoooooong!
Perhaps because of Darkan's unbroken conviction despite his defeat, the energies of Glenn and the Heavenly Demon, who had been continuously pushing against each other, accepted his existence.
Kuguuuuuuugu!
Glenn and the Heavenly Demon also seemed to feel that the Barrier created by their energies had opened and turned their eyes toward Darkan who had chased them from the ground.
"Where do you think you're ending this without me!"
Darkan thrust his dark sword that burned everything toward the center of the Heavenly Demon and Glenn, saying he would follow to the end.
"Persistent bastard!"
The Heavenly Demon laughed with his blood-soaked teeth bared.
"So you finally came."
Glenn drew a faint smile as if he had known Darkan would follow.
Glenn's Heavenly Tremor, the Heavenly Demon's fist, and Darkan's dark sword clashed from the directions of heaven, earth, and man, and heaven and earth flashed with brilliant white light as if the world was opening anew.
Seuuuuuu!
In the brilliant storm of light that arose as the body, energy, and spirit of the three absolute beings collided, a sinister shadow that no one had noticed emerged. As if it had been waiting only for this moment.
