The Reincarnated Assassin Is a Genius Swordsman
Chapter 1466
Chapter 1466
Raon drew the Heavenly Drive and Wooden Ring Sword without hesitation. The moment massive aura rushed toward him, he swung both swords with different techniques.
Claaaang!
He deflected the heat of Ten Thousand Flames Cultivation that approached first with the Silver Moon Demonic Sword, and cut through Glacier's cold energy that followed with Ten Thousand Flames Cultivation swordsmanship.
Sizzzzle!
The flames and cold energy were split apart, but he couldn't let his guard down. Countless energies still remained.
Whoooosh!
He tore through Garunua's energy that Rimmer had taught him using the Sword Saint's Devil-Fighting Sword Art and Devil-Cutting Blade Art, and conversely smashed the earth energy that the Sword Saint had left behind with the swordsmanship he learned from Rimmer.
Rumble rumble rumble!
The demon kings' authorities came slowly but much more heavily than other energies. The pressure alone felt like it could crush him completely.
'These too...'
Raon briefly steadied his breathing and raised the Heavenly Drive above his head while pulling back the Wooden Ring Sword behind his waist. He unleashed Fangs of Insanity and Blizzard Sword Art toward the demon kings' authorities that rushed forward with terrifying vibrations.
'They're the same!'
The willpower dwelling in both swords was the nature of the Seven Deadly Sins. He struck down toward the demon kings' authorities, imbuing them with the emotions of wrath, sloth, envy, gluttony, lust, greed, and pride that he now clearly understood.
Clashhhhhh!
Since even the monarchs of Devildom had compatibility relationships with each other, the demon kings' authorities were crushed by the Heavenly Drive and Wooden Ring Sword that contained other demon kings' emotions and fell back to the ground.
However, the energies that had been cut by the Heavenly Drive and Wooden Ring Sword and pushed back began rushing toward Raon again, having consumed only a tiny amount of their power.
'Even though I cut with full power...'
Raon let out a hollow laugh while watching the energies surge up like lava.
'They're coming back almost unchanged.'
Although the energies diminished slightly as they were cut by his sword, they were such a massive amount that there didn't seem to be much difference.
'This...'
Raon let out a heavy sigh as he watched the energies that he had cut with full power surge up again with almost the same momentum.
'Do I have to keep doing this until all those energies disappear?'
There was only one method to achieve unity of energies in the mental world. To show that he stood above them. Without using aura, he had to crush the energies he had accumulated so far with swordsmanship alone and prove his own power.
'How frightening.'
Raon cut through the flames of Ten Thousand Flames Cultivation that surged up again without hesitation and twisted his lips.
'It's been a long time since I felt like this.'
After settling into the upper levels of the Absolute realm following the war, everything in this world felt easy. Though not to the point of omnipotence where everything was possible, most situations felt easy. The reason he went to find Derus Robert even knowing that bastard was luring him was because he had at least the confidence to escape.
'A feeling like my spine is sinking.'
However, seeing the endlessly surging energies, his spine felt chilled for the first time in a long while.
But what hung on Raon's lips was not fear, but a subtle smile.
'How interesting.'
Perhaps because he had always overcome crises since picking up the sword. Strangely, instead of fear that it would be scary and difficult, deeper interest that it would be fun came to him.
"Waiting is also boring..."
Raon drew a deeper smile and raised the Heavenly Drive and Wooden Ring Sword. He leaped toward his own energies that pressed forward more persistently than any enemy and struck down with both swords with all his might.
"I'll go find them myself!"
* * *
"What, what is it?"
Krein startled and turned around, his shoulders trembling.
"Didn't you feel something just now?"
He swallowed dry saliva, saying his heart seemed to be pounding.
"I, I felt it too..."
Dorian nodded.
"It felt like the ground was shaking."
He nodded while touching his neck where goosebumps had risen.
"Heart? Ground?"
Martha tilted her head.
"I heard the sky crying?"
Unlike the two men, she felt the sky vibrating and narrowed her eyes.
"I feel similar."
Burren let out a low groan, saying he felt the same as Martha.
"What on earth is happening..."
However, he also tilted his head, saying he didn't know the exact reason.
"It's Raon..."
Runaan took a short breath.
"What...?"
"Raon?"
Burren and Martha looked at Runaan and blinked.
"Raon is getting stronger..."
Runaan looked towards the training room Raon had entered.
"Terrifyingly so..."
She exhaled white breath while rarely using such an excessive word as terrifying.
"As expected of Runaan!"
Blade Queen Siera clapped her hands as she approached the Light Wind Palace swordsmen.
"She's right. The vibrations you're feeling now are the energy waves blooming as our lord cultivates."
She nodded, agreeing that Runaan's words were correct.
"But why does everyone feel it differently?"
Krein slightly shifted his eyes as if he didn't understand.
"Because your martial prowess are different."
Warlord Yuber approached behind Siera and narrowed his eyes.
"Among the swordsmen here, Runaan is the strongest, so she alone felt our lord's aura."
He nodded, saying they felt differently because their martial will achievements were different.
"Is, is there such a thing?"
Dorian blinked as if hearing this for the first time in his life.
"He's not even right in front of us, just cultivating?"
"I've never heard of such a thing either."
Burren nodded while picking up on Dorian's words.
"That person is special, isn't he."
Siera looked toward where Raon was and curled her lips.
"Since he's trying to take one more step forward from the Absolute realm, we can feel those vibrations too."
She laughed, saying that because it was special Raon, just cultivating alone would affect this world.
"She's exactly right."
Yuber's cold eyes flashed.
"What our lord is doing now is an impossible task of fighting and defeating himself. It's cultivation that only he can do."
He exhaled heavily, saying it was cultivation that others might know about but couldn't do.
"Mm...!"
Runaan nodded as if agreeing with Siera and Yuber's words.
"How are you two feeling our Head of House's cultivation right now?"
Burren lowered his eyebrows as if curious about Siera and Yuber's feelings.
"It feels like my heart is being split by a sword."
Yuber placed a hand on his chest and let out a rough breath.
"I feel like my soul is being shattered."
Siera clutched her temples, saying her head was about to hurt.
"Then, then..."
Krein swallowed dry saliva and looked at Yuber.
"If he successfully completes that cultivation, how will Raon change? Don't tell me..."
He furrowed his brow as if recalling Glenn's past appearance.
"It won't be Ascension."
Yuber shook his head firmly.
"Right. That's not something you can achieve just by getting stronger."
Siera looked up at the sky and smacked her lips.
"Speaking of the results when he succeeds..."
Yuber's lips trembled slightly as if just speaking made him nervous.
"He will become stronger. To the point where he won't lose to anyone."
He nodded, saying he could feel such willpower from the energy waves Raon was emitting while cultivating.
"No, it's not just that level!"
Siera straightened her back, saying she would explain properly.
"Not just not losing..."
She raised her clenched fist toward the sky.
"Our lord alone can smash everything!"
* * *
"Haaah!"
A gasp escaped. He didn't know how long he had been fighting. He could only think that there was no end.
"Still..."
Raon let out a hollow laugh while looking at the energies surging up from beneath his feet.
"Are there still so many left?"
One day. Two days. One week. One month. No, even though it felt like he had been swinging his sword for a year, his energies still remained intact.
'The energies are growing as much as they decrease.'
Even at this moment while he was cultivating, the energies seemed to be growing, and after being cut down and cut down, they endlessly overflowed and rushed at him.
'Still...'
Raon drew a gentle arc with his lips that had been furrowed.
'It's still fun.'
He hadn't simply been cutting down the energies. Every moment he swung his sword, he gave his best to refine his swordsmanship for better achievement. Thanks to that, the energies were also growing together, but he felt no regret.
'In the end, I'm the one getting stronger.'
Whether combining all energies into one to make them his own, or growing his swordsmanship by cutting down those energies, everything became his martial prowess. Since each small achievement was important for the upcoming war, ecstasy was blooming even now.
'Now...'
Raon narrowed his eyes while looking at the energies rushing like a herd of buffalo.
'I can't tell what kind of energy is what anymore.'
Ten Thousand Flames Cultivation, Glacier, Garunua, the Sword Saint's aura, Celestial Thunder Arts' lightning aura, and the demon kings' authorities. Countless energies had been cut and rushed back while mixing, and now their colors had combined to the point where their types couldn't be distinguished.
'That makes it more fun, but...'
Raon bit his lip slightly while cutting down the surging energies with the Heavenly Drive.
'The energies have become stronger, making them difficult to cut.'
After the energies had naturally combined like that, cutting them with his sword became more difficult. He had to swing his sword with full power to barely split them in half and push them away.
'Is the growth of the energies faster than the growth of my swordsmanship?'
Raon exhaled heavily.
'How did things flow like this?'
His original plan had been simple. Cut down all his energies with swordsmanship alone to completely erase them, then accept all the energies scattered in the mental world to create a unified new aura. He had planned to face Derus Robert and the Demonic Dragon of Destruction with that power.
However, the energies weren't being erased by being cut by his sword, but were growing more and more. While endlessly swinging his sword was enjoyable, he was getting a bit worried about whether it was okay to continue like this.
'It would be problematic if I take too much time.'
Although time flowed much slower in the mental world than in reality, quite a lot of time had passed since he entered this world, so he became curious about the situation outside.
'No.'
Raon shook his head as anxious thoughts flooded in.
'I must focus on this moment now.'
If his concentration broke here, everything he had done so far would become meaningless. Now he had to concentrate all his mind and cut down all the energies according to his original plan.
"Alright!"
Raon bit his lips and raised his head.
"Let's see who wins, let's go to the end!"
Just as he burned away even the slightest anxiety that remained and struck down his sword toward the surging energies again.
Click!
The sound of gears meshing could be heard.
Rumble rumble rumble!
Above the ten rings that rotated endlessly, a stream of flames that had been quietly rising without even Raon, their master, knowing it, connected beginning and end like a snake biting its tail.
The eleventh.
A new ring of light was born above the ten rings that resonated like the sun.
