The Reincarnated Assassin Is a Genius Swordsman

Chapter 1424 Chwaaaaak! Derus Robert struck down with his sword and cut off his leg that had been frozen by the cold energy. "You're insane!" He let out an exclamation while looking at Monarch of Wrath who revealed empty eyes. 'The speed is one thing, but....' The power was more of a problem! The speed at which the frost that Monarch of Wrath spread was fast, but it wasn't beyond his perception. If he had anticipated it, he could have avoided it sufficiently, but its power was far exceeding his predictions. 'I didn't expect it to even freeze death aura.' As soon as Monarch of Wrath raised the frost, he retreated while wrapping death aura around his entire body like a cloak. However, Wrath's frost penetrated the death aura in an instant and froze his leg pure white. Even though he saw it directly, it was so absurd that he couldn't believe it. "Huu...." Derus Robert narrowed his eyes while pushing divine power into his severed leg. 'This isn't the time to be thinking about reasons.' He didn't know how Monarch of Wrath had emerged or why Raon had disappeared, but that wasn't important right now. The top priority was dealing with that monster who could freeze this world with just his breath. 'No, I don't need to completely deal with him.' Derus Robert licked his lips while looking at Wrath. 'I just need to devour that power.' Frost with the power to freeze even death aura. Though different from swordsmanship, it would be a lie to say he didn't covet that power. 'Even if it gives me indigestion, I should taste it first.' Since destruction is coming anyway. Derus Robert let out a sinister laugh while thinking of subduing Monarch of Wrath with the Dragon of Destruction he had called over and then extorting that power. "If this was my first time experiencing something like this, I would have panicked, but...." Derus Robert curled up the corners of his mouth while regenerating the leg he had cut off himself. "Thanks to my excellent subordinate, I've also developed something called adaptability." He sneered, saying that even if his plans collapsed like before, he wouldn't panic or crumble. "Come." Derus Robert beckoned with his hand toward Monarch of Wrath who had blank eyes as if sleepy. "It's not difficult to bury one more demon king's corpse here." He raised his sword burning with death as if he could win even against Monarch of Wrath who was displaying absolute martial prowess. Thook. Wrath slowly raised his head as if he had read Derus Robert's fighting spirit. He elegantly raised his hand as if drawing a picture and aimed at Derus Robert. Hwaaaaaaa! Pure white frost swirls above Wrath's grasp. Wrath King's Ultimate Technique. Silver Aurora. As he flicked his chin, the frost that had been condensed in his grasp was released along with brilliant light. Zzzzzzzzzt! Everything that touches the light created by Wrath freezes. Even the swaying grass blades of the field, the cracked and burning trees, and the blood-flowing rocks hardened pure white like art pieces carved by the god of winter. Gooooooo! Derus Robert let out an exclamation at the Silver Aurora that froze space itself and raised his sword. He created the shape of a giant sword with death aura that was smoldering from his blade. "Death Illusion." As Derus Robert twisted his lips and slashed down with his sword, the silver light that was freezing the entire world was split by the black blade. "Like this... Hn!" Derus Robert was about to swing his death-laden sword once more when he widened his eyes. Chizzzzzt! The black blade made of death aura had hardened in mid-air and wasn't moving. The Silver Aurora, even while being split by the sword strike, had bitten onto his blade and wouldn't let go. "What the!" Derus Robert swallowed dry saliva while looking at the frost light that was pushing back death and approaching even though it had been split in half. "This doesn't make sense!" He bit his lips while drawing up death aura once again. Kwaaaaang! Derus Robert poured out all his death aura to erect a huge wall and barely managed to block the Silver Aurora. "Huu...." Derus Robert wiped the sweat flowing down his forehead and let out rough breaths. "The more I see it...." He licked his lips while looking at the white cold energy that had seeped into the wall made of death aura. "It's a power I covet." It was when Derus Robert raised his hand as if he wouldn't let Wrath's cold energy slip away and was about to caress the frozen wall. Kwaaaaaaang! The wall made of death aura shattered, and behind it, the figure of Wrath holding up his finger could be seen. "That's...." Derus Robert swallowed dry saliva while looking at the blue sphere rotating above Wrath's finger. "Another one!" An energy wave similar in level to the cold energy that had completely frozen his death aura earlier was glowing from the tip of Monarch of Wrath's finger. Woooooong! Even though Wrath had used his ultimate technique, he shot out the frost condensed above his finger as if he had prepared the next attack immediately. Paaaaaaa! As soon as Wrath released the sphere of condensed frost, blue flashes of light shot out from within. A cannon of absolute martial prowess forcibly unifying cold energy and demonic energy. Overwhelming power that annihilated everything was fired toward Derus Robert. "Ha!" Derus Robert ground his molars. 'He's using an attack with similar power immediately?' Normally, when using ultimate technique or transcendent level attacks, you consume a lot of energy instantly, so using big techniques consecutively is impossible. But that monster was using attacks consecutively that were even stronger than the first. It was absurd. "Good!" Derus Robert clapped his hands and nodded his head. "I'll take it on!" He burned the soul dwelling in his body and transformed it into death while raising his chin. "Until I devour that power!" Derus Robert flashed eyes filled with greed as if he would definitely obtain Wrath's power and thrust out his sword burning with chilling death. Kwaaaaaaang! The sword strike fired by Derus Robert and the frost unleashed by Wrath collided, with death descending in the west and frost spreading in the east. Zzzzzzzzzt! Black dead snow fell from the sky, and blackened icicles rose from the ground. It looked as if the laws of this world had raised both hands in surrender before the martial prowess of the absolute beings. Ahhhhh. The survivors knelt and bowed their heads. Not as surrender, but because all strength had left their bodies and they could no longer stand. Not fear but instinct. Just as beasts hold their breath before natural enemies, human bodies gave up their own functions for survival. Zzzzzzzt! The clash between Derus Robert and Wrath seemed evenly matched, but gradually one side's color began to deepen. The black death cracked, and brilliant silver frost steadily advanced forward. "It's an absurd power." Derus Robert let out an empty laugh while looking at Wrath's cold energy that overcame even the death he had summoned by consuming his soul. "That's why all the more...." He let out an eerie laugh while capturing in his eyes the cold energy that froze death pure white. "I desire it!" Derus Robert spat black blood as if asking to continue and burned death aura toward Wrath's frost that extended madly toward him. Kwaaaaaaaaang! * * * "Huh...?" Envy blinked his eyes as if finding it absurd. "Is, is that right? No matter how much he's gone berserk, that's an impossible level of power!" He trembled his chin, saying that Wrath's martial prowess visible to his eyes was far beyond imagination. "He's strong...." Sloth gripped tightly the blanket Raon had given him with eyes that were fully awake. "It doesn't seem like... Wrath...." Gluttony also shook her chin heavily, not putting food in her mouth for the first time since the war began. "That's right, it's not Wrath." Lust bit her lips, saying such a vicious appearance was far from Wrath. "He never loses his dignity and elegance in any situation!" She shook her head, saying that current being was not Wrath because she had fallen for such aspects of Wrath. "Certainly...." Greed licked his lips while looking at Wrath who was pushing back Derus Robert. "It seems a bit different from a typical rampage." He shook his head as if he should revise what he had said initially. "The martial prowess being unleashed is unexpected, but targeting only that human is also strange somehow." Greed narrowed his eyes, saying if he had really gone berserk, he would have reacted not only to Derus Robert but also to other humans and demon kings. [Hmm....] The voice from the void also let out a low groan that others couldn't hear, as if doubts about Wrath had arisen. "Inside there...." Greed looked at Wrath's eyes that contained emptiness with very interested eyes. "What is happening?" * * * Haaa.... Raon exhaled very slowly with his eyes closed. It's comfortable. It was warm as if he had entered his mother's womb again. His whole body became drowsy and endless sleep came rushing. He felt like he wanted to sleep like this for a lifetime. Yes. Let's sleep. I don't want to think about anything else now. He had run endlessly since being reborn. To make his mother happy, to become stronger, to get revenge for his past life - he had fought and trained without a moment to breathe. But all of that had been destroyed. Death had come to Glenn, Zieghart which he treasured most had been destroyed, and those remaining on the battlefield would not be able to overcome Derus Robert. Thinking that everything he had done since receiving the name Raon Zieghart had become bubbles and melted away futilely, he no longer wanted to open his eyes. He was exhausted. He just wanted to sleep in this warm embrace. If he slept like this, everything would be forgotten. Because he had done all he could do. Derus Robert had won, but it couldn't be helped. It was something that didn't make sense from the beginning. Even while he was reincarnated and building power, Derus Robert was already equipped with martial prowess and drawing up absurd plans involving 'Archangels' and 'Dragons of Destruction'. Yes. It can't be helped. An ordinary human like me couldn't defeat a monster like Derus Robert. A monster that doesn't die even when killed. It was impossible to defeat a madman who creates new plans when his plans are destroyed. Raon slowly nodded his head and was about to fall back asleep when he slightly turned his chin. But.... Is that really right? Was it really something that couldn't be helped? Even if Derus Robert had inflicted fatal wounds on Glenn, even if the Dragon of Destruction had destroyed Zieghart, even if everyone he loved had died - was that really the end? Then to whom would the dead and those who would die in the future pour out their resentment? The Blade of Requiem came to mind. People who couldn't accept their unjust deaths and became vengeful spirits gathered in the sword. They were only able to leave this world with smiles after the Leader of the White Blood Religion died. Thinking that those he loved would become like that, chilling goosebumps rose on his warmly heated spine. No, they wouldn't even be able to attain enlightenment like the spirits in the Blade of Requiem. Because Derus Robert would rule this world while never dying. I have to get up. Raon put strength into his heavily closed eyelids. If not me.... There's no one to kill that bastard! Not demon kings, not angels, and not humans either. I was the only one who could kill Derus Robert. But his eyelids wouldn't lift. It seemed like something was preventing him from awakening. 'Don't....' Raon grabbed his eyelids with his strengthless hands. 'Don't stop me!' Since he couldn't put strength into his eyes, he forcibly grabbed his eyelids and lifted them. Keuuk! He barely managed to open his eyes, but he felt like closing them again. Such was the magnitude of the light that blocked his path. However, inside that light, someone's silhouette was visible. That is....
