The Reincarnated Assassin Is a Genius Swordsman

Chapter 1465 -Eh? Wrath blinked his eyes blankly. -Didn't you do that before? He tilted his head, asking if he hadn't done it when fighting with him in the mental world. 'That was swordsmanship.' Raon clicked his tongue briefly. 'I created the Heaven-Slaying Sword based on all the swordsmanship I had learned so far.' The moment when the swordsmanship of the mental world combined into one to enable cutting the heavens was something he could never forget even now. Since he felt the greatest enlightenment and joy since learning martial arts, it seemed like he would remember it even after death. -Was that so? It seemed like the energies also combined a bit? Wrath scratched his head as if confused. 'That's right too.' Raon stroked his chin gently. 'Various energies did combine when creating the Heaven-Slaying Sword.' -As expected, this king's memory is accurate! Wrath applauded himself, saying his words were correct. 'However, that was only a very slight unity. Various energies followed along with my willpower to create a sword technique that cuts the heavens.' Raon shook his head, saying that wasn't true unity in its real sense, but merely scratching the surface. -Hmm... Wrath clicked his tongue and looked Raon up and down. -Certainly the energies are chaotic. He nodded, saying he could feel his condition when looking slowly. 'I think the same way.' Raon chuckled and nodded. 'It feels like it's about to explode soon.' Half of it was a joke, but the other half was serious. As his Martial Prowess rapidly increased, the auras he possessed also grew stronger, and now they were clashing with each other. -That's because all the energies you possess have absolute power. Wrath furrowed his brow as if irritation was rising. -Ring of Fire, those damned flames, this king's brilliant and beautiful Glacier and <Wrath>, the authorities of other trash demon kings, the energies of previous generations including the Nadine bread old man, and even the power of death. You've nurtured energies in one body that could reach the absolute realm with just one of them, so now they have no choice but to bite their own master and more. He snorted, saying you shouldn't be doing unity now, but should have done it a long time ago. 'Right. It would have been much easier if I had combined them when the other energies were weak. However...' Raon acknowledged with a calm face, then shook his head. 'If I had done that, the energies I possess would have been much weaker than now.' As Wrath said, in his body now, various energies were building their own territories and waging war every moment. Previously, the energies of Ten Thousand Flames Cultivation and Glacier were so overwhelming that they suppressed all other powers, but now all powers had grown equally and couldn't be easily pushed back. 'When I created the Heaven-Slaying Sword, it was stabilized for a while, but as my swordsmanship and I grew, it became even more chaotic.' When he first created the Heaven-Slaying Sword, the energies he possessed helped achieve the sword technique that cuts the heavens, so peace came for a while. However, after the Heaven-Slaying Sword was completed and as he grew, the energies also rapidly strengthened together, making them difficult to control now. 'That's why I'm combining them now.' Raon curled his lips, saying he had been waiting for the moment when all energies became strong. -Don't tell me... Wrath blinked his eyes blankly. -Did you deliberately wait until now? He trembled his voice as if he couldn't believe it. 'Right.' Raon nodded calmly. 'I waited until now to obtain stronger energy.' To become stronger. To obtain bigger and deeper energy, he had been waiting until all energies grew to their maximum. Honestly, he wanted to wait a bit more, but since Derus Robert would start a war soon, completing it now was the best choice. -Stupid! It's good that you've gathered great energy, but when achieving unity and great powers clash, many energies will be offset and disappear! Wrath frowned as if asking did you think about that. 'Of course I thought about it.' Raon smiled calmly. When a typhoon meets a typhoon, they cancel each other out and disappear. It's the same with energy. When strong powers clash, it's common knowledge that they both get erased after consuming all of each other's power. 'But clashing within my body is different. The consumed energy doesn't scatter, but remains in my body.' Raon curled his lips, saying he had thought about all the parts Wrath was worried about. -Even so, there will be wasted energy that exists... 'It doesn't exist. I'm going to proceed with unity in the mental world.' He had no intention of proceeding with unity in reality from the beginning. He planned to make everything his own in the mental world where all martial arts and energy dwelled, without wasting a single bit of energy. -Hah... Wrath's mouth dropped open. -Mental world? Th-then it might be possible... He gasped, saying that in the mental world, a realm of the spirit, unity could be achieved without wasting energy. -However, this would only be possible for you, who can enter that damn world at will! Wrath exclaimed, saying he hadn't thought of it because it was a realm only Raon could access in this world. 'Since you acknowledge it, I'm even more confident.' Raon grinned and nodded. -Phew, what a damn annoying talent. Wrath gritted his teeth while looking at Raon. 'It's thanks to you. You've given me a lot.' Raon waved his hand as if teasing Wrath. 'I also learned a lot from my master and the two grandfathers.' -No, no matter how much this king and others have given you, you cannot achieve mental images, state of enlightenment, or willpower. I felt it from the first time I saw you, but your mental strength is not normal! Wrath shook his head, saying no one could match Raon's talent in the mental realm. 'I'll probably be able to talk about that part soon too.' Raon looked at Wrath with a gentle smile. -What are you talking about... Ugh! Wh-what's with that greasy smile! It's disgusting, get rid of it! Wrath waved his hands frantically, telling him to get away quickly. 'Anyway, I'll be back.' Raon chuckled at Wrath's distorted expression. -Fine! This king will protect you so... Wrath clicked his tongue and nodded. -Make sure you succeed, and when you come back, buy some amazing food! He strongly patted his own back, meaning to do well and come back. 'I will.' Raon drew a smile overflowing with confidence, then closed his eyes. 'I'll bring some amazing Nadine bread.' With those final teasing words to Wrath, he immediately entered the mental world. -This damn bastard... Huh? Wrath was about to shake Raon awake but stopped his hand. -He entered the mental world immediately? He wanted to interfere with the guy who said he'd buy Nadine bread, but he entered too quickly to do anything. -What a real monster! Wrath let out a hollow laugh. For an ordinary person to enter the realm of enlightenment, which is difficult to reach even once in a lifetime, as easily as going to the bathroom to eat and defecate - if he told this to other martial artists, they would surely throw stones at him telling him to stop talking nonsense. -And he's going to become even stronger there... Raon's martial prowess was already at the top level even within the Absolute realm. Even if he fought with his full power in reality, not in the mental world, he wouldn't be pushed back. But now he was saying he would achieve unity to become even stronger from there, which was admirable yet also stirred a slight sense of rivalry. -This king. To make this king, the strongest Monarch of Devildom, feel rivalry - what a truly damn annoying human! Wrath furrowed his brow while looking at Raon with his eyes closed. -That's why now I really have no choice but to acknowledge it. He perched on the head of Raon who had entered the mental world and curled his lips. -If you're going to do it, do it properly and come back. You damn friend. * * * Raon stood in the sky of the mental world and looked down below. "It has grown quite large." Centered on Glacier's frost in the north and Ten Thousand Flames Cultivation's flames in the south, numerous energies had taken positions in different directions, each building their own strongholds. Since they were all energies of different colors, even at this moment they were clashing and sparking against each other. "Ah, there's one more." Raon nodded while looking at the massive Ring of Fire rotating right beside him. 'However, unity with the Ring of Fire would be difficult.' The Ring of Fire was different from any martial art. It wasn't that the energy itself remained, but rather its very existence served to enhance all aspects of spirit, energy, and body, so it couldn't be combined like other energies. 'I'd like to create the eleventh ring too.' Actually, the Ring of Fire needed to become twelve to reach perfection, so if he could do it right now, he wanted to challenge creating the eleventh ring immediately. However, since he needed to find a different method from how he had created rings so far for the eleventh ring to emerge, he hadn't found the answer yet. 'For now, let's focus only on unity.' Raon said to think only about unifying the energies first and surveyed the entire mental world again. Even now, the greatest energies were Ten Thousand Flames Cultivation, Glacier, and <Wrath>. However, as he grew within the Absolute realm, the other energies had also become strong enough that they could never be ignored. 'The demon kings' authorities in particular have grown significantly.' Perhaps because he met the demon kings again, made deals, and became close to them, beyond &lt;Wrath&gt;, &lt;Sloth&gt;, &lt;Envy&gt;, &lt;Gluttony&gt;, &lt;Lust&gt;, &lt;Greed&gt;, and &lt;Pride&gt; as well. The authorities of the six other demon kings had achieved particularly significant growth. 'The same goes for my master's wind and the Sword Saint's aura.' The energies that those two people had left behind had also now become perfectly his own, occupying large positions in the mental world. 'The most surprising thing is...' Raon chuckled and looked toward the western corner. Whoooooosh. Above what seemed like a graveyard of broken swords stuck in the ground, eerily black flames were burning. 'That damn bastard's energy has become ridiculously strong.' After visiting the Epillan territory this time, the death aura had grown to an unrecognizable degree. Of course, since it hadn't been long since he obtained it, he couldn't perfectly control it yet, but its size was absolutely not inferior to other powers. "Well, shall I begin?" Raon steadied his breathing and brought his hands together. The moment his hands formed a prayer position, the swords that had been embedded in the ground to prevent the energies from running wild automatically pulled themselves out. Booooooom! At that moment, the energies that had been blocked by countless swords exploded with terrifying power like a dam bursting and shot up toward the sky. Rumble rumble rumble! Raon curled his lips as he watched the various colored energies erupting like lava, collapsing the mental world. "If Wrath had seen this, he would have asked if I was crazy." Although Wrath wasn't here, he could almost hear the guy screaming asking if he was really crazy. "I'd like to proceed slowly too, but I don't have time to combine them one by one now." Raon curled his lips as he watched the massive energies rushing toward him like lightning. "I'll finish everything all at once." Just as he cried out that he would combine all energies simultaneously and raised both hands. Squeeeeeal! Between the ten endlessly rotating Rings of Fire, a single line of deeper flame began to bloom.
