The Reincarnated Assassin Is a Genius Swordsman

Chapter 1478 "Raon Zieghart!" Derus Robert twisted his expression into something vicious and wicked as he cried out Raon's name. "You dare!" It was the moment he erupted in fury at the once-again ruined situation and moved to draw his sword. Whoooooosh! The sun and moon that Raon had created through the Divine-Demonic Harmony unleashed light so brilliant it could blind the eyes. The magnificent halos of light spread by the sun and moon powerfully assaulted the vision of Derus Robert and his followers. "Aaaargh!" "M-My eyes!" "My eyes...." The followers standing before Derus Robert screamed while covering their eyes, and through the gap of those screams, Raon moved. Whoooooom! As if he had perfectly calculated the current situation, Raon charged toward Derus Robert without hesitation. "Raon Zieghart!" Derus Robert muttered Raon's name once more and drew the sword at his hip. True to his status as an absolute being, despite having suffered a great shock to his vision, he unleashed a sword strike that perfectly tracked Raon's movements. Claaaang! As if he had even anticipated Derus Robert's counterattack, Raon deflected the sword coming toward his chest with the Demonic Sword and slashed downward with the Divine Sword. "Ungh!" Derus Robert quickly stepped back to avoid the trajectory of the Divine Sword, but it was already too late. Slaaaash! The crimson blade of the Divine Sword sliced a long gash across Derus Robert's chest as blood sprayed out. "Gugh!" Derus Robert pressed a hand to his chest and stepped back once more. He even employed footwork that seemed to pierce through space itself in order to create more distance. Whoooooom! Raon did not chase after Derus Robert who had retreated quite far back. It was not that he could not give chase. Rather, as if this was what he had been hoping for, he swung the Divine Sword and Demonic Sword diagonally. Crackcrackcrackkk! In an instant, the combined technique of the Fangs of Insanity and Blizzard Sword Art created optimal movements. A tilted red and blue cross was drawn between heaven and earth, and the followers of Derus Robert caught within that gap were torn in half. In a single swing, hundreds of lives vanished. Splat. As countless people died and spilled their blood, a blood scent thick enough to raise goosebumps began to surge through the Robert domain that had carried the scent of the sea. As if even the time to return the Divine Sword and Demonic Sword to their original stance was too precious, Raon slashed upward while still tilted. An intense aura wave burst forth from the two swords as the Angels on the left and the Ghosts of Eden on the right exploded outward. It was the simultaneous activation of the Ten Thousand Flames Cultivation's Flame Dragon Strike and Heavy Sky Cannon. 'Still not enough.' Raon quickly drew a breath. This time, he unleashed the Crimson Slash toward the Demonic Dragon's slaves in the center. The blazing flames and Cold Energy on the Divine Sword and Demonic Sword shrank as if clinging to the blades, and it was just as the torsos of those before the swords were about to be split in half. Claaaaaaang! A longsword burning pitch-black was blocking the Divine Sword and Demonic Sword that had fallen like lightning. Derus Robert. He who had retreated at Raon's first strike had returned and was blocking the Divine Sword and Demonic Sword. "Could you please keep running away?" Raon twisted the corners of his mouth. The eyes of Derus Robert visible between the three swords were contorted to the point of being laughable. "I think I could kill all your subordinates while you're away." Raon said to give him just a little more time as he pushed back Derus Robert's dark sword by force. The physical strength that had transcended even the absolute realm, combined with the power of eleven Rings of Fire, seemed to be something even Derus Robert could not withstand. "Thanks to you, I've come to my senses." Derus Robert let out a voice so ominous it raised goosebumps. "I'll make you regret coming here." He erased the wound on his chest with death aura and began to push back against the pressure of the Divine Sword and Demonic Sword in return. Cracklecracklecrackkk! Raon narrowed his eyes as he looked at Derus Robert's sword blazing with terrifying death aura. 'The death aura has grown stronger than before.' Even though he didn't seem to be using his full power, the death aura could be felt pushing into the aura of the Divine-Demonic Harmony. It seemed that Derus Robert had also, like himself, crossed over a wall in that brief moment. 'It might be dangerous to try to end things here.' If Derus Robert had been below his expectations, he had intended to finish everything here, but that seemed unlikely now. 'The Demonic Dragon of Destruction hasn't appeared yet either. And on top of that....' Raon was looking at Derus Robert's sword when he shifted his gaze to the left. On the left where the Angels lay dead, a chaotic light that was neither white nor black was flickering. 'That's not good.' He didn't know exactly what it was, but he could sense an Aura no lesser than Derus Robert's. If that being were to join the fight, it might be dangerous. 'Over there is also someone somewhat weaker, but of unknown nature.' Raon this time looked to the right where Eden was. In the center of Eden stood a man wearing a black robe, and an ominous aura was slowly wafting out from him as well. 'I've gotten what I came for....' Raon twisted the corners of his mouth as he looked at Derus Robert's contorted eyes. 'I'll have to retreat from here.' As if deciding to stop here, he no longer blocked Derus Robert's sword strike but instead softly received it and leaped back. "I've said my greetings well enough...." Raon waved his hand lightly at Derus Robert. "I'll be taking my leave. It would be rude of me to interrupt your declaration of war too much, wouldn't it?" He waved his hand lightly and then rose up into the air. "What...?" Red veins of blood shot through what had been the clear eyes of Derus Robert. "Who said you were allowed to leave!" As if intending to kill Raon right here, he thrust forward the sword with compressed death within it. Claaaaaaang! Raon received the sword strike that Derus Robert poured out with the Divine Sword and Demonic Sword and slowly lowered his chin. "I clearly said 'come,' didn't I." He looked down at Derus Robert and curved the corners of his mouth upward. "If you want to kill me, you'll have to come find me." Raon crooked his finger toward Derus Robert as if calling a puppy. Boooooom! As Derus Robert stamped his foot, death aura and flames of destruction burst forth and wrapped around the sky. "Coming here may have been as you pleased...." He exhaled a breath thick with Killing Intent. "But when you leave, you'll have to leave that neck of yours behind." Derus Robert bared his white teeth, declaring that he would kill Raon Zieghart here and end the war itself. "Sorry, but I'm busy." Raon waved his hand dismissively as if teasing Derus Robert and took out a round orb. "Stupid fool." Derus Robert chewed at his lips over and over. "This space is surrounded by death and destruction. No matter what magic you use, you cannot escape!" He declared that this would become Raon's grave as he radiated murderous intent. "Oh? Then what is this?" Raon smiled and floated the orb into the air, and a blue Magic Circle burst forth and wrapped around his body. "That is...." Derus Robert widened his eyes as he looked at the Magic Circle that clearly bore the flow of teleportation magic. "Death and destruction are nothing special, it seems." With those words as his last, Raon became a blue light and vanished. After he left, all that remained were hundreds of soldiers who had died beyond recognition. [...We've been had.] The light wrapped in chaos murmured as if sighing. "As expected of Raon Zieghart!" The man wearing the black robe burst out laughing as if he found this situation amusing. "Haaah...." From Derus Robert's mouth flowed a dark breath as if completely rotted. "Raon...." He exhaled continuously trying to maintain his reason somehow, but as if unable to suppress his fury, red aura eventually burst from his eyes. "Raon Zieghart!" ** -Puhehehehe! Wrath burst out in a delighted laugh like a child. -You definitely said it! You said demon king! He clapped his hands as he mentioned how Raon had called himself a demon king. -You really must follow this king and become a demon king! Wrath licked his lips as if looking forward to seeing Raon become a demon king. 'Head of house of Zieghart, Alliance leader of the Holy Sword Alliance, and now demon king too?' Raon sighed as he thought about the titles that seemed to be floating above his head. 'This is dizzying.' Zieghart and the Holy Sword Alliance alone were overwhelming enough, but thinking about being demon king on top of that made his head spin more than when he was fighting Derus Robert. -In any case, well done! Wrath turned around and patted his own shoulder. -This is absolutely satisfying! He curled his lips upward, saying that laughter had come naturally as he watched Raon tease Derus Robert. 'Same for me.' Raon chuckled and nodded. It seemed to be his first time seeing Derus Robert explode with that level of irritation and fury. No matter how rational a monster he was, today he had no choice but to crumble. -But why did you suddenly call yourself demon king? Wrath licked his lips as if pleased but curious. 'He called himself a god.' Raon narrowed the space between his brows as he recalled Derus Robert calling himself a god. 'That annoyed me, so I said demon king, the opposite.' He waved his hand, saying he had simply thought of the opposite of a god. -The opposite of a god is demon king? Puhehehehe! Wrath grabbed his belly and laughed. -As I've said, when it comes to mockery, you truly are a demon king! He chuckled while saying something that was hard to fully understand. Just as Raon was about to ask Wrath about that, the dimensional passage ended and the faces of Chamber, Larian, and Evelyn came into view. "Well done!" Chamber burst out in admiration and threw off the witch hat she had been wearing on her head. "This is how the head of house of Zieghart should be!" She clapped her hands, saying it was a truly fitting appearance for the head of house of Zieghart. "Haaah...." As if reverting to her corner-dwelling Magician self, Larian breathed heavily from within her blanket. "Z-Zieghart heads of house all seem to have no sense of self-preservation whatsoever." She trembled the hand holding the blanket, saying she had just been watching yet thought she would die from the tension. "Raon! As expected, that's our Raon!" Evelyn curled her red lips upward, saying he had been absolutely wonderful. "I'll give myself to you!" She declared she would offer everything she had and kicked off the ground to leap at Raon. -Heup! Wrath flinched in alarm at Evelyn's charge and stepped back. "A-It's not over yet." Raon broke out in a cold sweat as he deflected Evelyn's charge and approached Chamber and Larian. "Whether Derus Robert enters the fake Continent that we created...." He revealed once again his hardened gaze as he lightly bit at his lips. "We need to confirm."
