The Reincarnated Assassin Is a Genius Swordsman

Chapter 754 Tugui swallowed dryly as he watched Raon, who had suddenly appeared and split Marang's body into three parts. 'Amun?' He couldn't believe that Amun, the fighter known as the Black Fox, had suddenly appeared and killed Marang. Having personally summoned Amun to verify his martial prowess and aura, this situation seemed so unreal that his mind went blank. 'Twin swords of flame and frost... Huh?' Tugui's jaw trembled as he saw the two blazing swords in Raon's hands. 'Those swords, could it be!' He had heard that when Raon Zieghart opened his Sword Domain, a Divine Sword blazing with flames and a Demonic Sword condensed with frost would manifest. Looking up, he saw the sun and moon rising on the ceiling of the arena. It was certain. The fighter known as the Black Fox, Amun, was the Kingkiller Raon Zieghart. "Raon Zieghart!" The White Demon Swordsman also seemed to realize Raon's identity, biting his lip until it bled. "Tugui! Did you betray us?" He drew the sword at his waist, pointing it at both Raon and Tugui simultaneously. "You fool! How can you say that after seeing this situation?" Tugui frowned, pointing at the arena that had become a chaotic mess as if a riot had broken out. "It doesn't matter where the information leaked from right now." He glared at Raon, grinding his teeth. "We need to catch that arrogant brat to resolve this situation." Tugui said they needed to deal with this as quickly as possible while pulling out a red greatsword hanging on the wall. "Hmm..." The White Demon Swordsman also erased his doubts about Tugui and drew a black-stained longsword from his waist. [Don't move right away.] Tugui sent an aura message to the White Demon Swordsman while keeping his gaze fixed on Raon. [Marang will revive soon.] Marang, being covered in demonic energy, wouldn't die immediately from sword wounds. They needed to draw attention so he could ambush Raon. "They're Zieghart's brats! Don't leave a single one alive, kill them all!" Tugui stomped his foot hard and roared towards the arena. "You move too!" The White Demon Swordsman also ordered his White Demon Squad to kill the Light Wind division. "Tear them limb from limb!" At the angry Deputy Floor Master's shout, the Black Tower's demonized humans also charged towards the Light Wind division. The numerous enemies swarming towards the Light Wind division formed a shape like a black wave. "Raon Zieghart." Tugui nodded his chin towards Raon, who was surrounded by a calm aura. "If you stay still like that, all your subordinates will die." He let out an obvious sneer to make Raon anxious. "My subordinates, you say?" Raon chuckled as if to say that wasn't possible. "You're as arrogant as I've heard." Tugui's face reddened at Raon's mockery, but inwardly he calmed his excitement. 'It's moving.' Marang's corpse, which had been struck down by Raon, began to twitch. If they could buy a little more time, he would revive and be able to launch a surprise attack. "How did you find this place?" The White Demon Swordsman, seemingly thinking the same, addressed Raon with bloodshot eyes. "I looked at a map." Raon wiggled his finger, saying it was all on the map. "Raon Zieghart!" "Die!" Tugui and the White Demon Swordsman simultaneously struck with their swords. Waves of aura imbued with angry will surged towards Raon's neck and heart. Raon swung his Divine Sword and Demonic Sword in a cross, cutting through their sword attacks. "You're holding back." He shook his head while lowering his two swords. "Is it because of the guy behind me?" Raon curled his lips knowingly and stomped on Marang's twitching corpse. Marang's body, which had been moving as if trying to revive, shattered and scattered. "Sorry, but that one can't be revived." "W-What nonsense are you talking about!" Tugui's eyes widened as if they were about to tear. "I've fought the Black Tower more than once or twice, so I struck the soul, not the body." Raon mocked the now motionless Marang, revealing eyes as red as the sun. "This is the end for Marang." *** Raon twisted his lips as he looked at Marang's corpse, which had returned to human form. 'It worked perfectly.' The Black Tower's demonized humans often revived even when their necks were cut or hearts exploded due to their use of demonic energy, death energy, and demonic aura. Thinking Marang wouldn't die in one hit either, he had imbued his Divine-Demonic Harmony sword strike with Beast King Ogram's Fierce Wave Arts. If Marang had reached transcendence, it might not have had much effect, but since he was only a Grandmaster, Raon was able to cut off his life without much difficulty. -At any rate, you're one whose mind works exceptionally well. Wrath let out a puff of air as if impressed. "Still, it's two against one! We just need to kill him in one go!" Tugui thrust his greatsword downward, and the White Demon Swordsman leaped to the ceiling and stabbed with his longsword. As the sword attacks unleashed by the two Grandmasters were about to engulf Raon, a green wind raised a thick barrier. The wind wall pressed down on Tugui and the White Demon Swordsman's sword attacks, making them disappear as if they had never existed. "No, that's not right." Rimmer, who had raised the wind, came up to the observation deck and clicked his tongue. "It's not two against one, it's two against two." He swung his sword, mocking them for not knowing how to count. "Light Sword..." The White Demon Swordsman bit his lip deeply, as if he had met Rimmer before. "You're still like a grasshopper. It's amazing your limbs can move at all." Rimmer spread his hands lightly as if pleased to see him. "Division Leader." He stepped back beside Raon and wiggled his finger. "Want to bet 100 gold coins on who catches them first?" "Sounds good." Raon nodded while standing in front of Tugui. "Haa..." Tugui let out a sigh as if dumbfounded. "How dare you, who weren't even born when this arena was founded!" He seemed genuinely angry, veins popping on his forehead. "I'll show you why they call me Greedy Demon!" "Because you're crazy for money." "It's because I'm crazy for money and fighting!" Tugui kicked off the ground with his greatsword slung over his shoulder. The marble floor of the observation deck surged like a wave, obscuring their vision. As Raon watched the oncoming marble wave, Tugui swung his sword down from the empty space on the left. 'He's not a fool, I see.' Thinking Tugui wouldn't make such an obvious attack, Raon calmly turned his ankle to the left. Shifting his weight to his big toe, he swung up both his Divine Sword and Demonic Sword simultaneously. When Raon's two swords clashed head-on with Tugui's greatsword, an enormous force exploded, causing the left side of the observation deck to collapse. Raon stepped on the falling steel frame and drew a Ten Thousand Flames Cultivation Revolving Sky towards Tugui. The frost from his Demonic Sword formed sharp saw teeth as it shot towards Tugui's heart. "Hmph!" Tugui easily blocked the Revolving Sky with the flat of his greatsword, as if it were nothing. 'As expected.' Raon licked his lips the moment Tugui's greatsword came down. 'He's moving just as I predicted.' Swordsmen who use greatswords tend to deflect attacks using the flat of the blade rather than the edge when defending, and Tugui was no exception. 'This is my chance.' Raon used the Supreme Harmony Steps, an adaptation of the Demon Sword Master's footwork, to penetrate Tugui's space. (E/N: reminder: it was a footwork that allowed to step in the air or something lik ethat) "Where do you think you're going!" Tugui quickly regained his posture, befitting a Grandmaster, but Raon's sword had already penetrated his guard. The frost Snap, executed simultaneously with the Divine Sword and Demonic Sword, was imbued with the wind of the Gale Wind Style. The faster-moving blades mercilessly hammered Tugui's greatsword. "Kugh!" Tugwi tried to counterattack even as he was pushed back, but Raon didn't give him the chance. 'I need to keep pressing him.' Using the Supreme Harmony's Third Step to stay close, Raon unleashed a series of sword techniques to prevent Tugui from switching to offense. Tugui had no choice but to focus on defense, unable to prepare an attack stance until he fell to the arena floor. "You're still far from matching me." Raon spoke coldly as he struck down the Astral Ring barrier Tugui had erected with his Fangs of Insanity and Blizzard Sword Art. "Kuuh..." Tugui bit his lip as he was continuously pushed back. 'What is this guy...' There were no gaps in his offense! Even though he hadn't let his guard down or underestimated him for being young, Tugui couldn't attack. The flame sword and frost sword interlocked like gears, leaving no time to create an opening. It was enough to make him ashamed of his nickname, Greedy Demon. 'But I must endure!' I can't die here! He couldn't die like this when he hadn't even spent all the money he'd accumulated. He had to survive, even if he had to crawl on the ground. 'No matter how difficult, there must be an answer.' His true strength wasn't his sword, but his eyes. With eyes that coveted treasures, he could grasp the flow of his opponent's swordsmanship. Given time, he was confident he could win. Despite the wounds all over his body, Tugui focused all his attention on Raon's swordsmanship. As he observed without giving up, the flow and characteristics of Raon's swordsmanship began to come into view. Tugui thrust his greatsword into the subtle opening he'd detected in Raon's defense. For the first time since the battle began, Raon was pushed back. Finally, his attack had landed. "Now it begins... Huh?" Just as Tugui was about to continue his offensive, licking his dry lips, Raon's swordsmanship suddenly changed. The sword path that had focused on speed and power now embodied variation, precision, and spirit. Tugui, unable to adapt to such an intense change that made his eyes ache, was pushed back again. "W-What is this..." Tugwi's eyes trembled in disbelief. "You're not tired, are you?" Raon twisted his lips, tilting his chin. "I still have many sword techniques left to try out." "Y-You dare!" Tugui charged at Raon, masking the despair in his eyes with anger. His gleaming red greatsword came down, exploding with aura. It was a thunderous strike as heavy as the gold coins he had amassed - the Thunder Spear technique of the Ten Heavy Spear Sword. 'Strong Sword, Crushing Sword, Heavy Sword, Fierce Sword.' In an instant, Raon grasped the essence of the Thunder Spear and twisted his waist to the left. He channeled the solid energy from his Middle Dantian into his Divine Sword and Demonic Sword, unleashing the Mystic Soul Sword. The technique was Cloud of the Heavy Demon, an Astral Ring that rose like a cloud, suppressing the energy of the Thunder Spear and enveloping Tugui's entire body. As Raon tilted his Divine Sword downward, blood burst from Tugui's vital points. "Kuhk..." Tugui dropped his greatsword and fell to his knees on the sandy ground. "I-Impossible..." He trembled all over as if unable to believe his defeat, then fell backward. "Tsk." Raon clicked his tongue briefly as he looked at Tugwi's lifeless body. "I told you to hang on a little longer." It was disappointing to let go of such an adaptable opponent without trying out all his sword techniques, as such opponents were hard to come by. -Are you really human? Wrath widened his eyes in disbelief. 'Why?' -You're just an angel obsessed with martial arts! He stuck out his tongue, saying Raon was too different from any human he had ever seen. 'Don't insult me.' Raon flicked Wrath's forehead. Knowing that being called an angel was now an insult rather than a compliment, he immediately punished him. "Ugh..." "L-Lord Tugui was defeated? Just like that?" "This can't be. This is impossible!" "Is that... the Kingkiller Raon Zieghart...?" "The rumors don't do him justice. He's just a monster!" Tugui's subordinates were drenched in cold sweat as if they were having a nightmare. "Raon Zieghart..." "They said he was close to transcendence, and it was true." "To think the Greedy Demon, who used to be a knight, would be overwhelmed in swordsmanship..." "I've never seen such sword techniques before..." The spectators who couldn't escape the arena also gaped in shock. "Phew." Raon let out a heavy breath. Dealing with the Grandmasters Tugui and Marang had only cost him a bit of breath. 'It seems I've gotten stronger while training with the Head of House.' He had thought he hadn't improved, but it seemed he had actually progressed quite a bit. 'Not bad.' Raon searched Tugui's body and took out the sword manual and the necklace imbued with white mist, which were the items for today's trade. There was also a sword left, but it seemed to still be at the observation deck. "The Holy Warrior Sword Technique, huh..." Just as he was about to open the sword manual, a powerful explosion occurred at the observation deck. It was Rimmer and the White Demon Swordsman. Their clashing sword strikes had created pitch-black storm clouds in the air. "Just die already! The other side is already finished!" Rimmer frowned and struck down with a sword attack wrapped in lightning. "Shut up!" The White Demon Swordsman's already pale face turned even whiter as he extended his longsword. Thanks to his long arms, his sword path bent in unimaginable directions as it targeted Rimmer. It looked just like Sword Control freely roaming through the air. 'That grasshopper too...' Raon licked his lips as he looked at the White Demon Swordsman. 'He looks like he'd be fun to fight.' He infused aura into his fading Divine Sword and Demonic Sword as he leaped up to the observation deck. "Huh...?" "Raon Zieghart?" Both Rimmer and the White Demon Swordsman widened their eyes at Raon's sudden appearance. "I'll be your opponent from now on." Raon nodded his chin towards the White Demon Swordsman. "Hey! I'm bored too. You're the only one having fun..." "You lost the bet, right? I won't take the 100 gold." "Deal!" Rimmer stepped back without a moment's hesitation. As expected, he was an elf who valued money above all else. -Huh.... Wrath glanced at Raon, who was excited about the new sword technique, and twisted his lips. -If you were going to do this, why didn't you just fight that demonic energy user earlier instead of ambushing him! 'He's not a swordsman, you know.' -Don't tell me you're.... He tilted his head while leaning his face in. -Are you planning to ditch Zieghart and join the Holy Sword Alliance? '......'
