The Reincarnated Assassin Is a Genius Swordsman

Chapter 1420 "Uaaaaaahhhhh!" Derus Robert screamed as if his throat was torn while clutching his chest. From his wound, black blood and pitch-black souls poured out endlessly. "Grrrrrr...." Derus Robert gasped for breath while condensing death aura to forcibly block the wound that had sprouted on his chest. However, he couldn't completely seal the wound, as blood and souls continued to flow from the sword mark. "Da-damn it...." Derus Robert couldn't have imagined this situation either, as he trembled with bloodshot eyes while looking at the blood and souls he had spilled. "Whoo." Glenn exhaled heavily while lowering his Heavenly Tremor. "Not bad." He nodded calmly as if things had gone as expected. 'What...?' Raon swallowed dry saliva while looking at Glenn and Derus Robert in turn. Even though he was beside Glenn, he couldn't understand what he had done. "Wh-what did you do to me!" Derus Robert also couldn't understand Glenn's sword, baring his blood-soaked, reddened teeth. "How did you break Mirror Soul with Soul Sword!" He trembled with his blood-dripping chin, as if he still couldn't believe that Mirror Soul, the counter to Soul Sword, had been shattered by a Soul Sword. "Didn't I tell you." Glenn calmly shook his head with a bloodless face. "A sword is just a sword." He raised his Heavenly Tremor with no aura flowing through it. Strangely, even though his hands were trembling, the blade of the Heavenly Tremor didn't waver. "It's natural for a sword to break a mirror." Glenn curled up the corners of his mouth, saying he had simply shattered a mirror with a sword. "Sword and mirror...? Don't tell me!" Derus Robert trembled with his pupils as if he had just realized something. "The Mirror Soul you created is amazing martial arts. I never imagined it could reflect Soul Sword in that way." Glenn nodded to Derus Robert as if he had no choice but to acknowledge it. "The Soul Sword I unleashed to kill you instead deeply split my own soul." He clutched his chest with trembling hands as if the Soul Sword wound still ached. "However, what cut my soul was not the Soul Sword itself, but the desperate will to kill the enemy." Glenn smiled while meeting the trembling eyes of Derus Robert. "True to its name as a mirror of souls, Mirror Soul reflects not the Soul Sword itself, but the emotions dwelling within the Soul Sword." He drew a faint smile as if he had understood everything despite being hit by Mirror Soul only once. "Huh...?" Derus Robert let out empty air in shock at Glenn who had simply realized the true meaning of Mirror Soul. "Thanks to that, I was able to realize." Glenn exhaled deeply while raising his Heavenly Tremor again. "What I need right now." He drew an excited smile while looking at the sky. "Formlessness." Glenn raised his Heavenly Tremor toward the darkened sky. "Even though I named the swordsmanship I created myself the Formless Sword, I hadn't felt its true meaning until now, but now I finally understand the meaning of formlessness." He nodded, saying he had gained new enlightenment thanks to Derus Robert. "No thought, no form. A sword without any will cannot be reflected even by a mirror." Glenn laughed weakly, saying he had simply drawn his sword down without any killing intent. "Ah!" Raon exclaimed while looking at Glenn's back. -Wh-what does that mean? Wrath blinked his eyes as if he didn't understand. 'It's simple. Derus Robert's Mirror Soul doesn't reflect the Soul Sword itself, but the killing intent dwelling in the Soul Sword. Grandfather swung his sword after removing the killing intent so Mirror Soul couldn't exert its power.' Now he understood. Glenn had grasped the weakness of Derus Robert's Mirror Soul and penetrated it instantly to cut that bastard's soul in reverse. It was unbelievable insight even though he had been watching from behind. -Ooh! As expected of the Nadine bread old man! Wrath applauded toward Glenn. -I'll forgive you for eating Nadine bread today! The guy laughed, saying it was okay to eat Nadine bread for today. "Nonsense!" Derus Robert gritted his teeth while clutching the wound on his chest. "Without killing intent, how could you have cut my soul!" He screamed as if it made no sense. "That's why I said a sword is just a sword." Glenn waved his finger, saying the answer was simple. "A sword is something that exists to cut. I cut you not with my will, but with the sword logic that the sword itself possesses." He drew a gentle smile, saying he had gained new enlightenment of the Soul Sword thanks to being hit by Derus Robert's Mirror Soul. "Grrrrrk!" Derus Robert gritted his blood-soaked teeth while looking at the wound from which blood and souls continuously flowed. "A dying old man doing something that doesn't even make sense!" He clutched his heated head, seeming flustered by the unexpected situation. "Just as Raon said." Glenn chuckled while looking at the teeth-grinding Derus Robert. "You speak formally when advantageous and informally when disadvantageous, truly cunning." He shook his head, saying he was an absurdly childish human. "Let's end this now." Glenn exhaled coldly while pointing his Heavenly Tremor at Derus Robert. "You cannot take anything from this land..." He was about to draw the Soul Sword forged with new enlightenment when he froze in place. "Cough!" Glenn spat black blood from his mouth while falling to his knees on the ground. "Grrrrrr...." He trembled violently with the fingers holding his sword as if it was difficult to even grip the Heavenly Tremor, spitting out blood repeatedly. "G-Grandfather!" Raon screamed while rushing to Glenn. "Th-the injury seems a bit severe." Glenn trembled all over while drawing a distorted smile as if he had no strength left to stand. The wound on his lower abdomen that had barely been sealed burst open due to the shock from Mirror Soul, blood pouring out, making it seem like he could no longer endure. "Th-the bleeding is too severe!" Raon used the slightly recovered Divinity Born from Darkness and sprinkled the Holy Water and healing medicine he had, barely managing to heal Glenn's wounds, but it seemed like if he moved any more, something truly irreversible would happen. "Kahahahahaha!" Derus Robert wiped the blood flowing from his mouth with the back of his hand while bursting into mad laughter. "That's right! Having your soul cut twice and your energy center torn apart, it makes no sense to be fine!" He giggled as if he knew this would happen while pushing himself up with his hands on the ground. "Even gaining new enlightenment is meaningless! You'll all die here!" It was the moment Derus Robert raised his silver sword, saying he would kill Glenn right now. Paaaaaaaang! Raon put Glenn behind him and charged at Derus Robert, kicking off the ground as if crushing it. Wooooooong! He penetrated right before Derus Robert's eyes and struck down with an extremely fast Crimson Slash using his two-handed Heavenly Drive. 'I have to do it now!' Derus Robert is just as abnormal as Glenn. No matter how many souls he has, I should be able to cut him down now. "Raon!" Derus Robert gritted his teeth while raising his silver sword to block the combined assault of the Heavenly Drive and Wooden Ring Sword. Jeoooooooong! Raon's Heavenly Drive and Derus Robert's sword clashed, creating a massive shockwave. "Good choice!" Derus Robert grinned as if he had regained his composure while pushing away the Heavenly Drive. "I haven't shown my choice yet." The moment Raon twisted his lips, a pure white blade fell upon Derus Robert's shoulder. Peoeoeoeoek! He had hidden the Wooden Ring Sword behind his back and aimed for the gap when Derus Robert's vision was obscured, stabbing his shoulder. "Impressive!" Derus Robert spat blood again while his reddened eyes flashed. "But your sword, which has become a rag, won't work on me!" When Derus Robert gritted his teeth and wielded powerful death aura, the Wooden Ring Sword stuck in his shoulder was automatically pulled out. "Cough!" Raon also reached his limit in aura and mental strength, so he was pushed back by Derus Robert's aura, spitting blood while rolling on the ground. "Grr!" Raon spat out the blood pooled in his mouth and immediately stood up to charge at Derus Robert again. He forcibly swung his sword, replacing his depleted aura and stamina with the anger boiling up from his soul. Jeoooooooong! Derus Robert also couldn't easily receive the anger-surging Heavenly Drive, clashing swords while stepping back. "What an inhuman appearance." Derus Robert twisted his lips while looking at Raon's face that had turned blue-cold. "It's like your face when you died to me that day." He tilted his chin as if trying to provoke Raon further. "You!" -Calm down! Wrath shook his head vigorously, saying he shouldn't get excited now. 'I want to stop but....' Raon bit his lips until they bled. 'I can't stop either!' His body felt like it would burst from the increasingly stronger anger. Right now he had no choice but to swing his sword with anger infused in it. He no longer knew whether he was swinging the sword or anger was swinging the sword. "Here it comes!" Derus Robert didn't miss the moment when Raon's anger-soaked sword wavered and thrust his sword toward the opening. Peoeoeoeoek! Raon's waist was deeply split as black blood spurted out. Despite being wounded, he charged even faster and carved a deep sword mark on Derus Robert's shoulder as well. "You crazy bastard!" Derus Robert let out an empty laugh as if it was absurd. "You're struggling desperately because you want to kill me! I'd like to match that savage sword, but...." He twisted his lips while raising his silver sword. "My soul and body have already settled back into place." Derus Robert seemed to have recovered from the wound inflicted by Glenn, and the moment Raon approached, he struck down with his sword blazing with death aura. Hooooooook! Just as the death aura was about to split Raon's entire body in half. Kugugugugugu! A massive Fighting Spirit wave arose from the right. Kwaaaaaaa! It was the Heavenly Demon. He rushed at Derus Robert before he could cut down Raon and delivered a terrifying fist strike. Ppeoeoeoeoeoek! Derus Robert's face was crushed by the Heavenly Demon's fist strike as he was smashed into the ground, crushing the earth. "Cough!" Derus Robert also hadn't anticipated the Heavenly Demon's intervention, spitting dark red blood while letting out intense groans. "You who interfered with the meaning of my life...." The Heavenly Demon raised his left fist blazing with Fighting Spirit as if crushing Derus Robert's face wasn't enough yet. "I absolutely cannot forgive you!" He continuously struck with fists and legs, crushing Derus Robert's entire body. Peobeobeobeobeobuck!
