The Reincarnated Assassin Is a Genius Swordsman

Chapter 1456 Raon returned to his quarters after finishing light training with the Zieghart swordsmen. -Hey! Raon Zieghart! Wrath clung to Raon's shoulder like a leech. -I told you to fight this King! He extended his fist, suggesting they fight again. 'Uh. No.' Raon calmly shook his head and loosened the Heavenly Drive and Wooden Ring Sword, leaning them against the wall. 'You're weak anyway.' He scratched Wrath once more and shrugged his shoulders. -Grrrgh.... Foam began to pour from Wrath's mouth again. -That's why let's fight again! I'll show you that I'm stronger! He swung his tail like a whip, demanding to fight right now. Though he usually seemed uninterested in fighting, losing seemed unbearable to him. 'Unfortunately, I have things to do now.' Raon said he had important matters and waved his hand. -Important matters my ass! It's late at night, what important... As Wrath pouted and grumbled, he brought up the previous message. [You have achieved victory in the sparring match with <Wrath>.] [You have accomplished a great Achievement.] [All Ability Scores increase by 100 points] [<Wrath>'s Authority increases significantly.] [The trait <Blood Path>'s rank increases.] [The trait <Spirit Concealment>'s rank increases.] [The trait <Wrath Release>'s rank increases.] [The trait <Heaven Kill>'s rank increases.] [The trait <Crisis Detection>'s rank increases.] [The title <Surpassing the Master> has been created.] As befitting the Monarch of Wrath, Wrath's tremendous ability scores and trait ranks increased. -Ah? Wrath's mouth fell wide open. -Wh, what is this! He hadn't expected this many ability scores to increase either, as a storm raged in his pupils. 'You really are a demon king. I just won a mental world sparring match, but you really give a lot.' Raon said thank you and bowed his head to Wrath. -Fi, fight. Wrath exhaled a sharp, fierce breath. 'What?' -Let's fight again right now! Quickly stab me with your Soul Sword! He seemed doubly angry about losing and having his ability scores taken, as he screamed. 'Sorry, but we're done for today.' Raon muttered that he was tired and even took off his clothes. -Ha, ahahaha! Wrath forced a laugh with trembling lips. -You're scared! I can see you're too frightened of me to fight! He twisted his expression as if trying to provoke him in return. 'Yeah. I'm scared, so I won't do it.' Raon lay on his bed and waved his hands dismissively as if to say do whatever you want. -Kyaaaaagh! Wrath screamed while clutching his head. -Let's fight! Didn't you want to fight so badly! What do I have to do to get you to fight! 'What will it take for me to fight?' Raon repeated Wrath's words. 'Well? What should I do?' Raon smacked his lips while perfectly understanding his current position. -Grrrr! Just seeing Raon's composure seemed to make his irritation explode, as his blue body turned red like Bead Ice Cream. -I, I feel like I'm dying. My insides are exploding! He pounded his chest frantically, saying he was going crazy with frustration. 'Fine. I'll fight you again. But...' Raon curled up his lips and sat up. 'Should we make a bet?' -A bet? Wrath frowned. -What kind of bet are you suggesting? 'Ability score betting.' Raon smiled and raised his finger. 'We bet our Authority and ability scores against each other. The loser gives ability scores to the winner.' He suggested betting with their respective ability scores and Authority while narrowing his eyes blade-thin. -Hah! Hahahaha! Wrath let out a hollow laugh as if absurd. -You won once by luck and became arrogant enough to burst! He said it was like looking at a water-soaked frog and frowned. -Good! This worked out well! Wrath nodded without hesitation. -I'll show you how high the sky is here and reclaim all of my power! He ground his teeth, saying he absolutely wouldn't lose this time. 'So you'll do it?' Raon drew a subtle smile and extended his hand to Wrath. -Fine! I'll make you regress instead of getting stronger! Wrath grabbed his hand, saying he absolutely wouldn't go easy, as his anger had already risen to his head. 'Good.' Raon firmly grasped Wrath's cold hand and nodded. 'Then let's begin.' He plunged his Soul Sword into Wrath, who was widening his eyes for the first time, and headed to the mental world. -Stupid fool! Wrath sneered as he entered the mental world. -Beginning my ass! You end here! I still have many techniques! He confidently closed his eyes and entered the mental world as if he had been hiding his power. -Even if you beg now, it's too late... * * * -Uheheheheuk! Wrath opened his eyes in shock. -H, how is this... He trembled his blue pupils as if he had witnessed an incomprehensible situation. "Easier than before..." Raon curled his lips while looking at the awakened Wrath. "Don't you think?" He said it had become easier than when he first won and tilted his head. -N, no... Wrath swallowed his dry saliva. -I was clearly pushing you back! He ground his teeth as if he couldn't understand why he had been defeated. -Why am I suddenly here! 'Because you lost.' Raon answered calmly. -Bullshit! Fight again! Wrath grabbed Raon's collar, saying he couldn't accept this defeat. 'Anytime.' Raon said fine and stabbed his Soul Sword into Wrath again. -Heoeoeouk! Wrath awakened after his second defeat and let out heavy breaths. -A, again? He gaped as if he hadn't seen his defeat this time either. -Th, this is ridiculous...' 'Should we try again if you can't believe it?' Raon said he'd accommodate him again and gestured with his hand. -Grr! Again! He plunged his Soul Sword into the grinding Wrath for the third time. -Kueeeek! Wrath made pig-like sounds as he opened his eyes. -Ah, ah... He couldn't ignore three defeats and trembled his jaw. 'Now you accept it?' Raon waved his hand toward Wrath's face that had hardened like a statue. -Sh, shut up! Wrath screamed loudly. -It doesn't make sense for me to be defeated so easily! There's a problem with the mental world... It was when he was shaking his head as if he couldn't accept it. [You have achieved victory against <Wrath>.] [According to the conditions with <Wrath>, ability scores and Authority increase.] [All Ability Scores have increased by 30 points.] [<Wrath>'s Authority increases slightly.] [The trait <Authority Utilization>'s rank increases.] [The trait <Blood Path>'s rank increases.] [The trait <Blade that Cuts Divine Power>'s rank increases.] [The trait <Thread of Fate>'s rank increases.] [The trait <Double Counter>'s rank increases.] [The trait <Heaven Kill>'s rank increases.] Reward messages appeared before his eyes. Since he won 3 times, his ability scores seemed to have increased by 30. -Ueoeouk... Wrath gaped while looking at the reward message. 'Seeing this message appear...' Raon gestured to the dazed Wrath. 'I really won, right?' He shrugged his shoulders, saying he definitely won. -Th, this is ridiculous... Wrath swallowed his dry saliva. -I was clearly pushing with Snow Dance, how... He bit his lips, saying he didn't know why he was defeated when he was about to destroy Raon's body with his technique. 'Ah, that? So that was Snow Dance.' Raon flicked his finger while recalling the cold energy that fell sharp as a beast's fangs. -That's right! Snow Dance's fangs were definitely crushing your head! 'I cut before that.' Raon answered calmly. -What? 'Not just those fangs, but you too.' Raon said he cut both Wrath's technique and him simultaneously, just like when he first won, and tilted his head. -Huh? Wrath's mouth fell wide open. -A, again that damned Heaven-Slaying Sword! He seemed to finally understand how he was defeated as he rubbed his neck that had been split in the mental world. 'Right. That damned Heaven-Slaying Sword.' Raon said he cut Wrath with the Heaven-Slaying Sword again this time and nodded. -Th, that's an absurd swordsmanship! Wrath chewed his lips roughly. -Even if it's the mental world, to cut me so easily... He clicked his tongue as if the power of the Heaven-Slaying Sword was shocking. 'It's strong, but not perfect.' Raon rubbed his head as a dizzy headache came. 'However, it's gradually becoming perfect.' He curled his lips, saying the sword's completion was getting higher through sparring with Wrath. -Grrrr! Wrath ground his teeth as if frustrated. -If I had completed Flying Snow! If it was a real fight and not the mental world! He wouldn't have been defeated so easily, he said while breathing heavily. -...However, the conditions are the same for you too. I acknowledge it! Wrath let out a heavy sigh. Though he complained a little, he nodded, saying he would acknowledge defeat like a demon king. -However, the betting conditions were clearly ability scores and Authority... Wrath ground his teeth while looking at the reward message. -Why are you raising even traits! You damned system! He screamed that raising parts not promised was cheating. 'This is...' Raon shrugged while looking at the reward message. 'A bonus.' -Bonus my ass! I'll make a grave instead! Wrath wrinkled his nose bridge, saying stop talking nonsense. -Come at me all! The system and you, all come at me! He screamed wickedly, telling everyone to come at him. 'You want to continue?' Raon chuckled and gestured with his hand holding the Soul Sword. -Fine! Come anytime! Wrath bared his white teeth as if he had no intention of ending in defeat. 'Then we continue betting too, right?' It was when Raon suggested maintaining the bet and was about to stab with his Soul Sword. -Eh? Betting...? The fierce blue anger blooming in Wrath's pupils slowly began to subside. -Ah, that's a bit... It was the moment the Monarch of Wrath controlled his wrath. * * * Raon steadily continued mental sparring with Wrath. There were days of victory and days of defeat, but as time passed, the number of victories increased, and after two months, he never lost once. Wrath desperately thought and made efforts every time to defeat Raon and challenged him to fights, but it was always Raon who took victory in the end. -Damn it! Wrath hit the ground with his round fist. -I lost again! He ground his teeth, saying he didn't know how many consecutive losses this was. 'About 35 consecutive losses.' Raon grinned, saying he had been counting them all. -Y, you counted that? Wrath's lips trembled. -You petty bastard! He wrinkled his nose bridge, saying that even though he got stronger, his heart was still narrow. 'You asked, so I answered.' Raon waved his hand, saying it was nothing special. -Grrrr... Wrath seemed to get more heated by that appearance and exhaled white steam. -Fight again! This time for sure! It was when he rushed forward, suggesting to fight again. Woooong! A blue window appeared before Raon's eyes. [Raon!] Evelyn's clear voice flowed from the blue window. [That 'damned woman' contacted me...] She muttered 'damned woman' with an irritated voice, unlike when she called her own name. "Damned woman..." Raon chuckled. Through Evelyn's reaction, he could immediately tell who the damned woman was. "Connect me." [Okaay....] As soon as Evelyn gave an incomprehensible answer, the face of a beautiful woman wearing a black eyepatch appeared on the blue window. "It's been a while." Raon gave an eye greeting to the woman with the eyepatch. "Lady Denning Rose." The person who contacted him was Denning Rose, the branch manager of the Black Market's Zieghart branch and the disciple of the Black Market leader. [I greet the sky of Zieghart.] Denning Rose politely bowed her head within the screen. She too was now treating him as the head of house of Zieghart. "That's excessive." Raon said there was no need to treat him so formally and waved his hand. [No. It's rather insufficient. The current Sir Raon is the head of house of Zieghart and the Alliance leader of the Holy Sword Alliance.] Denning Rose said she would have bowed her head as well if they had met in person, and smiled faintly. [If we met in person, you'd be dead.] "..." Evelyn's voice could be heard from somewhere, but he ignored it. "But what business brings you to contact me at this hour?" Raon tilted his head while looking at the sky that had not only set but turned to night. [We began an investigation based on the information and predictions Sir Raon previously provided, and today, we have the results.] Denning Rose paused her breathing for a moment, then slowly raised her gaze. "Then..." [Yes. Derus Robert's hideout...] Her single eye shone more brilliantly than others' two eyes. [We seem to have found it.]
