The Reincarnated Assassin Is a Genius Swordsman

Chapter 1453 Swoooosh! Raon slowly raised the Heavenly Drive. On the silver blade, neither the flames of Ten Thousand Flames Cultivation nor Glacia's Frost existed. The only thing dwelling in the sword was the single willpower to cut the heavens. Raon brought down the Heavenly Drive while imbued with the will of heavenly slash. Following the trajectory of the falling silver blade, the blue sky split in half. It wasn't just an illusion. The sky was truly torn along the sword's path. -Ha... Wrath let out a sigh while looking at the split sky. -This is really happening? He trembled his pupils, saying he couldn't believe it even though he was seeing it with his own eyes. 'It's not real yet.' Raon calmly nodded his chin while looking at the sky that was beginning to mend again. 'That sky has to be completely split for it to become real.' Right now he had only cut the outer surface of the sky. Only when he could split it perfectly so that it couldn't mend again could the swordsmanship be considered complete. -Crazy bastard... Wrath let out an empty breath. -Do you really think that's possible? He frowned, saying that completely splitting the sky was an impossible realm even for gods. 'It might not work, but it might also work.' Raon smiled faintly. 'Since I decided to live as a Swordsman, it wouldn't be bad to try once.' He said he would do his best while gripping the Heavenly Drive again. Raon consecutively displayed the sky-cutting swordsmanship techniques that he had been envisioning in his mind. There was no need to struggle to think of new forms and trajectories. The swordsmanship techniques existing in the mental world naturally harmonized and created a familiar flow. As if he had learned what he hadn't learned, and as if he knew what he didn't know. 'It feels like all the swordsmanship is connecting as one.' Swordsmanship has many forms to handle various situations. Because their shapes are diverse, the flow often gets disrupted in the middle. However, the swordsmanship he was displaying now had no distortion whatsoever, as if it were composed of a single form. Raon endlessly repeated the swordsmanship that flowed as one. Every time the Heavenly Drive fell, the sky split, the sky mended again, and at the end of the swordsmanship, the sky always split. Though he hadn't entered the State of Enlightenment, he endlessly repeated the sky-cutting swordsmanship he had created himself, looking only at the sword tip as if he had fallen into it. -The sky... Wrath swallowed dry saliva while looking at the sky cut by the Heavenly Drive. -It's being cut deeper... Each time Raon's sword fell, the degree to which the sky was cut became deeper, and the speed at which it mended also slowed. This meant that at this very moment, Raon's sky-splitting sword was growing stronger and stronger. -How does this make any sense! Wrath let out a scream-like shriek, asking how such a thing was possible. Swoooosh! Raon focused endlessly on cutting the sky without caring that Wrath was shocked. At first, there was a feeling similar to Glenn's Azure Sky Sword or the First Patriarch's Vast Heaven Sword, but as the swordsmanship was gradually refined, it was filled with a different color from the two. That difference was the difference in Willpower that each Swordsman possessed. Even though Raon had learned the swords of two absolutes who depicted the sky, he hadn't forgotten his will to cut the sky, so gradually his own sword was being created. Red sunset came to the refreshingly blue sky, pitch darkness descended and then became blue sky again, but Raon's sword still fell the same way. Riiiiiiip! However, Raon's sword was different from yesterday. As the Heavenly Drive passed through, the sky behind it split so deeply that it raised goosebumps. It began to mend again, but even that speed was markedly slower. It really looked like he had gotten closer to cutting the sky. -N-no... Wrath's dried lips trembled. -What the hell did You do! He blinked, wondering how he could show such a difference in just one day. -What did you do to achieve such swordsmanship... "My head cleared up completely." Raon smiled and lightly tapped his head with his finger. "Now that I know Derus Robert was just the Demonic Dragon's ass-wiper. It puts my mind at ease." He had thought Derus Robert was a being beyond human, literally a transcendent existence. But upon learning the truth, Derus Robert was nothing more than a fly who wiped the ass of the Demonic Dragon of Destruction after being killed by it. Realizing that, he had nothing left to fear. -Eh...? Wrath blinked blankly. -I-isn't that even scarier? That crazy bastard climbed up from the bottom and eventually became a monster standing at the same level as the Demonic Dragon of Destruction! He slightly trembled his brow as if actually acknowledging Derus Robert. "It's not strange to think that way." Raon calmly nodded his head. "However, I've been watching the existence called Derus Robert for quite a long time and felt pressure from his very existence. No matter how much I grew, I felt like I was beneath him." In his Past Life, he had been kidnapped by Derus Robert and raised as an assassin. He was a Master who could never be defied, and in the end, his head flew off with a single gesture from him without ever finding freedom. After being reborn, he had grown stronger with all his might and killed Derus Robert, but he eventually came back to life, made him lose the most precious person to him, and then tried to bring destruction to this world. "Honestly, even while thinking I need to take revenge..." Raon closed his eyes while looking at the sky turning blue. "Fear remained. What would I do if Derus Robert came back to life even after I killed him and killed my family members." He recalled Glenn's face. Even though he had seen him so much since childhood, his face felt a bit blurry and his chest ached. "But now my fear of Derus Robert has disappeared. He's no different from me, someone from the bottom." Raon nodded firmly. "Next time, I'll definitely finish it. So that I never lose those I love." After discovering Derus Robert's identity, even the last trace of anxiety remaining in his heart disappeared. Now all that remained was to become strong enough to finish him off. -What is the name of that sword you created? Wrath narrowed his eyes, saying he wanted to hear the name of the newly created sword. "Grandfather's sword was the Azure Sky that contained the high and noble heavens, and the First Patriarch's sword was the Vast Heaven Sword that honored heaven and earth. And my sword cuts through the heavens..." Raon murmured quietly while looking at the sky that had mended again. "Heaven Slaying. It's the Heaven-Slaying Sword." He spoke the name of the swordsmanship in this place while calmly stroking his chin. -Huh... Wrath couldn't close his gaping mouth at the noble aura he felt from Raon. -They say position makes the person, and now you really seem to have become a King. He nodded, saying that sitting on two thrones gave off the scent of a Monarch. "And I didn't change in just one day." Raon spread out the hand that had been holding the Heavenly Drive. He smiled looking at the many calluses and scars that had worn away his palm lines. "Because a lifetime of swinging swords is inside me." Now he could feel the swordsmanship accumulated in the mental world without falling into the State of Enlightenment. He hadn't become stronger in just one day, but because he had swung swords for a lifetime. -I never thought I'd say this to you... Wrath chuckled and raised his gaze. -You've become cool. Raon Zieghart. He let out an exclamation, saying he really had no choice but to acknowledge it now. "Even after saying that, later you'll call me a weakling again if I don't give you food, saying you can't acknowledge me." Raon chuckled, saying he was used to it now. -N-no! Wrath wrinkled his nose bridge and shook his head. -I have never spoken nonsense! I've kept everything I said! He lifted his chin, saying he had lived keeping his word. "Really? Then you'll remember that too, right?" Raon extended his empty hand toward Wrath. -Huh? What am I supposed to remember... Gasp! Wrath tilted his head in confusion then widened his eyes. -Y-You; again! He felt Raon thrust the Soul Sword into him and let out a groaning moan. "You said you'd help with my cultivation." Raon caught Wrath's staggering spirit body while curling up the corners of his mouth. -Th-that was a long time ago... "You just said it yourself. That you never spoke nonsense and kept everything. You never said you wouldn't do it, so you have to keep helping." Raon said he was counting on him while leading Wrath into his mental world. "I want to test the Heaven-Slaying Sword." -Y-You will live for a very, very long time. Wrath gritted his teeth while looking at the smiling Raon in his blurring vision. -Because you're making me eat all the curses I should get in a lifetime! He swung both arms as if saying let's see what happens. -Fine! Come at me! I'll smash that damn sword! "Good reaction." Raon clicked his tongue, saying it was just the right temperature. "Let's give it a try." * * * "Did you see, did you see?" Krein hurriedly turned his back after seeing Raon close his eyes. "That person really seems to have gone crazy now! He must be seeing things!" He trembled his shoulders, saying it was too scary to see Raon talking to empty air by himself. "N-no..." Dorian swallowed dry saliva and shook his head. "S-Sir Raon really thinks he's talking to someone..." He swallowed dry saliva, saying that when he looked with his Mind's Eye, Raon really seemed to think he was conversing with someone. "I understand." Martha let out a sigh while looking at the sky. "Since he's become strong enough to cut the sky, it wouldn't be strange if he went crazy." She stroked her chin while recalling the sight of the sky that Raon had cut. "Cool..." Runaan clasped her hands together while looking at Raon. "Cutting the sky is cool... talking to himself is also cool..." She drew a very faint smile as if she liked whatever Raon did. "Um, right now the Head of House is..." Burren was about to reach out his hand while mentioning Raon's name to the others. "To think the Head of House was struggling so much that he'd go crazy like that..." "Even in the midst of all that, he continued to train us." "I wonder what I've been doing all this time..." "From today on, let's break through our walls even if we have to stay up all night!" "Right! We'll become strong even if we go crazy too!" "Even if the Head of House goes crazy, I will follow him for life!" "Let's go! We'll swing swords right now!" The executives of Zieghart and the swordsmen of Light Wind Palace all ran off to train, thinking Raon had gone crazy and saying they would help him. "Hmm..." Burren watched the Swordsmen running off while burning with fighting spirit, then tightly closed his eyes. 'I'm sorry.' In fact, to his eyes, he could see Raon conversing with the demon king. However, if he explained that part here, it seemed like the Swordsmen's passion to follow Raon would immediately cool down, so he couldn't bring himself to speak up. 'For the growth of the Swordsmen...' Burren shook his head while sending an apology to Raon in his heart. 'Please stay crazy for a while!'
