The Reincarnated Assassin Is a Genius Swordsman

Chapter 774 Raon's eyes widened as he watched The Fallen fall with his chest split open. 'What's going on...?' Just moments ago, he had lost control, unable to contain his anger. He felt darkness flooding his mind, but he couldn't understand why he had regained consciousness. 'And...' In a state of overflowing power. His exhausted mind had settled into calmness, and an unprecedented, immense energy was stirring throughout his body. Omnipotence. It felt like a power that could dominate all things in the world. -Of course it would! Wrath popped up from below and thrust his face forward. -That's my power, after all! He shouted, accusing Raon of stealing his power again. 'Stole it?' -Didn't you feel yourself being consumed by anger?! 'I did.' -Just as I was about to be sucked into your body and go berserk... Wrath raised his round hand and pointed to his left chest. -Wings sprouted from the ring embedded in your chest and pushed me away! What on earth is that thing?! He shook his head vigorously, saying it was impossible. 'Wings?' Raon touched his left chest with trembling hands. As Wrath had said, above the eight rings spinning fiercely as if they had become one, wings of flame wrapped in heat had blossomed. -The moment those wings appeared, your mind became so firm that I couldn't penetrate it. How can the power be transferred while the mind remains here? This doesn't make any sense! 'So that's why the rampage stopped?' -That's right. Thanks to that, I was also able to control my anger. Wrath frowned, saying that if it weren't for that, everyone here would have died. "Hmm..." Raon looked back. The explosion had knocked down everyone in House Arianne, but due to the distance, it seemed no one had died. -In other words, those wings are the time your sanity is maintained. As Wrath said, the feathers of the wings were falling one by one. It seemed that when they all disappeared, he would lose control of himself. -So you need to drive that guy out and get as far away from here as possible in the meantime. Wrath slowly raised his gaze to point at The Fallen lying on the ground. 'But I sliced his heart?' -That guy won't die from just that. Raon narrowed his eyes as he looked at The Fallen. He had split The Fallen's heart with the Heavenly Drive, but Wrath was certain he would rise again. A brilliant light spread around The Fallen, as if to prove Wrath's words true, and he slowly stood up. It was a sacred sight, as if the word resurrection had been brought to life. 'How do you take down someone like that?' Raon bit his lip as he raised the Heavenly Drive. 'I'm not sure if I can do it.' -Don't worry. Your body's abilities and energy are definitely mine right now. 'So that's why I felt this energy.' -Your mind is lacking. Terribly, terribly lacking, but with the strongest body and energy, it should be worth fighting! Wrath shook his head, saying that although Raon couldn't use all of his power, it should be enough to hold out. -And it's not a question of whether you can do it, but that you must do it. He said this while pointing to the people lying unconscious before them. -They're not dead yet, after all. 'Ah...' As Wrath said, he could hear the breathing of Merlin, Rimmer, and even Edgar. However, the breaths of Rector, who had blocked all the demonic energy at the forefront, and Sylvia, who had thrown herself to protect Edgar and Sia, were so faint that it wouldn't be strange if they stopped at any moment. 'You're right.' Raon nodded, biting his lip. 'It's not a question of whether I can do it, but that I absolutely must.' As he thought about moving the people, Wrath's energy moved on its own, lifting the unconscious Merlin, Rimmer, Edgar, Sylvia, Sia, and Rector into the air. Raon moved the six people towards House Arianne before stepping forward to face The Fallen. "...That terrifying presence has disappeared." The Fallen's pupils trembled slightly, as if he had felt the aura when Wrath tried to descend. "The absurdly powerful energy remains the same, but it feels incomparably weaker than before." He narrowed his eyes, as if trying to grasp this bizarre situation. "Then come at me. I'll tear that mouth of yours first." Raon beckoned to The Fallen with his finger. "Certainly... It would be the right choice to kill you here." The Fallen raised his hand, saying he should bury Raon here, who was creating countless variables. A magnificent radiance rose from his grasp. -Don't be nervous. Wrath took a deep breath as he held Raon's shoulder. -If that masked bastard had been a martial artist, you wouldn't have had a chance even with my energy. But he's a magician and a shaman. You should be able to fight sufficiently. 'Right. I have to.' The moment Raon nodded, the light lingering on The Fallen's hand flew towards him. It wasn't in the form of arrows or blades like ordinary magic, but light itself, so fast that even with his enhanced vision, he could only see a faint trajectory. -The upper and left sides won't reach you! Just block the front! 'Got it.' Following Wrath's advice, he poured out the frost filling his mana circuits towards the flashing front. The wave of frost that extended from the blade of the Heavenly Drive cut through the light that had penetrated to just in front of him. "The energy itself is absurdly strong, but your skill remains the same." The Fallen, unfazed as if this was just the beginning, shot out an even denser light. The thin light condensed to form a thick pillar, not only increasing in power but also doubling in speed. Raon drew a Frost Snap while exhaling half of half a breath. The massive blade of frost that surged from the sword split the pillar of light that had been fired like a shell. It was a cold that froze even the radiance, a power that transcended the laws of the world. "I don't understand, but..." The Fallen frowned, as if he couldn't believe the frozen light. "Power gained suddenly tends to have limits." He raised an even denser and more intense light, saying that it would eventually reveal its flaws. -That's usually true. But... Wrath trembled and wrinkled his nose bridge. -This guy is different! He even twists causality by himself! He shook his head vigorously, as if pleading to The Fallen. "Let's end this here." As The Fallen flicked his fingers, eight pillars of light rose around Raon. It was a chilling magic that blocked all escape routes and seemed intent on erasing his very existence. -There's no need to be afraid! Believe in my energy, in your sword! 'Of course.' Raon stepped forward without hesitation. As he advanced towards the pillars of light, he unleashed the Flame Dragon Strike of frost. A dragon even larger than the blue dragon Kaivar rose from the white blade. As the blue dragon's mouth opened, a breath of cold that seemed to freeze the entire world poured out, shattering all the pillars of light. The plain that had been filled with red blood and black demonic energy turned into a pure white snowfield without a single footprint. "Haa..." Raon exhaled a white breath as he straightened his back. 'I'm starting to get the hang of it now.' Having naturally handled Glacier's cold energy before, he had no major problems using Wrath's energy. Although it was burdensome at times due to its scale, his body had also grown, so he could endure it sufficiently. -Ugh, it's going well, but why am I getting angry... Wrath's face was half smiling and half frowning, saying he felt both relief and irritation at the same time. "You're being quite troublesome." As The Fallen spread his hands wide, the night disappeared, and the sky and earth were imbued with brilliant light. Everything before his eyes seemed to be The Fallen's light. Diverse lights, like various types of swordsmanship, flew in from all directions. Raon raised the Heavenly Drive with a noble posture. Above the blade that seemed to pierce the sky, petals of blue cold energy bloomed. Thousands, no, tens of thousands of frost fragments collided with the mass of light The Fallen had raised. Countless collisions followed, turning the earth's surface inside out and causing the sky to scream with thunder-like sounds. The intense shockwaves that seemed unreal continued endlessly. Raon was not satisfied with just defending and advanced, pushing back the earth. The faintly blooming cold energy drew a wing-like shape behind his back, and the World Tree of frost that surged from the cracks in the earth was imbued with even whiter cold energy. The Heavenly Drive, shot like a blue lightning bolt, split the wall of light The Fallen had raised and carved deep wounds on his left shoulder and chest. When he was about to thrust with a Crimson Slash, The Fallen retreated backward, becoming a fragment of light. "It seems that first sword strike wasn't a coincidence after all." He frowned as he met Raon's red eyes. The Fallen moved his lips while clasping his hands together. After finishing an ultra-high-speed incantation, light trajectories spread like clouds above his head, and then a rain of light poured down from the sky. 'I have to block it all.' Raon gritted his teeth and unleashed the Azure Sky Drive. Within the sword strike that embraced the sky, the demon king's aura spread, enveloping the rain of light pouring down from the heavens. The cold energy of Wrath froze even the pillars of light and then turned the sky white as if it still had power left. It was a power that transcended the concept of martial arts, producing such results without reaching transcendence. -Now's not the time to be amazed! Push forward now! 'I know!' Raon suppressed his intensified breathing and dove towards The Fallen's left side. He raised the tilted Heavenly Drive and unleashed a Silver Sword Dream. The blade of the Heavenly Drive, split into dozens of pieces like the mass of light The Fallen had raised earlier, rushed towards The Fallen's neck. The Fallen brought his fingers together, and a slowly rotating ring of darkness rose from his neck. The Heavenly Drive stopped in front of the darkness, unable to reach The Fallen's neck. A terrifying gravitational force pulling the sword could be felt from within the rotating darkness. "You've saved me some trouble by coming close." The Fallen smiled as if it was all over and extended his hand filled with light. "You're the one who's finished!" Raon stretched out his left hand towards The Fallen's hand flashing with light. Wrath King's Decisive Technique. Silver Moon Demonic Seal. As he unleashed Wrath's technique with Wrath's body and energy, the intense cold energy that surged from his fingertips engulfed not only the light but The Fallen himself. A mountain of ice rose over the split earth, completely trapping The Fallen. It was literally a power that could freeze the world. "Huff..." Raon exhaled a turbid breath while clutching his left chest. 'I hope this is the end.' Less than half of the wings' feathers remained now. It seemed that the faster he used great power, the faster the feathers disappeared. However, contrary to expectations, the ice mountain mercilessly shattered due to the darkness The Fallen had raised, as if the completion of the Silver Moon Demonic Seal was lacking. -It's far from enough. Wrath clicked his tongue briefly, saying that if it had been his own Silver Moon Demonic Seal, it would have ended here. "Phew." The Fallen exhaled empty air as he brushed off the ice fragments on his sleeve. "This level of cold energy is more like magic than martial arts." He raised his hand edge after erasing the darkness and light lingering in his grasp. "I guess it's my turn to wield a sword now." The Fallen drew his smooth hand downwards. At that moment, the space where he stood began to split. 'How do I...' A power that splits space without any sign - he had no idea how to avoid or block this. -Think of when you caught the blue dragon in the sea! The sword that cuts through space! 'Ah...' Hearing Wrath's cry, he recalled Alice's space-cutting technique that had split Kaivar's breath. He raised the Heavenly Drive, tracing Alice's trajectory in reverse. The Seventh Form. Void Slash. He struck upwards with the Void Slash from the ground to block the space-cutting strike coming down from above. The space-cutting strikes from opposite directions interlocked, creating a black rift in the air. Blue frost rose between the split spaces, freezing the shockwave that was about to burst out. The sight of the sky and earth frozen white with the center split black seemed to speak of the end of the human world. "Ugh..." Raon bit his lip as he trembled at the tip of his hand holding the Heavenly Drive. 'It feels like walking on thin ice.' Every time he clashed with The Fallen, it felt like death was approaching from behind. His heart was beating so violently that it was becoming increasingly difficult to breathe. -This is where it begins. Wrath shook his head with a low breath. -Because that guy isn't serious yet. 'I know.' Raon knew better than anyone that The Fallen hadn't revealed his true strength. Right now, he was holding back his power due to the presence of Wrath he had felt at the beginning. "Did you sell your soul to a demon?" The Fallen narrowed his eyes as he looked at the horns protruding from Raon's forehead. "Not my soul, but something quite precious." Raon raised his head, forcibly suppressing his breathing. 'Not much time left.' The wings of flame protecting the Ring of Fire now had less than a quarter of their feathers remaining. At this rate, he would lose his sanity before driving The Fallen away. "But you keep running your mouth. Are you scared?" Raon chuckled with his chin raised. "Planning to say you weren't serious if you lose later? I guess it would be embarrassing for the leader of Eden to get beaten by a Grandmaster." He shrugged, saying he would understand. "...Very well." The Fallen nodded slowly, his expression unchanged. "I don't have much time either, so let's end the play here." He brought his right and left hands together and let out an ultra-high-speed incantation. As the light in his right hand and the darkness in his left hand intersected, a massive pillar connecting heaven and earth rose. The pillar, gradually turning gray as light and darkness mixed, spread out, collapsing the frozen sky and earth as if to erase everything that existed. It was truly an unquenchable storm of annihilation. -That's beyond your power. Wrath shook his head, saying that the energy contained in that pillar was not normal. 'Still, I have to try.' Raon gripped the Heavenly Drive with both hands. He had to overcome this even if it meant burning up all his energy and soul. -It won't work. 'What?' -You can't win even if you give your all. So... Wrath muttered that it was impossible and then grabbed his left hand. -I'll help you just one more time. He nodded after looking at the fallen Sylvia, Edgar, and Rector in turn. -Go. I'll match you, so unleash your best martial arts. Wrath gripped his left hand tighter, as if telling him to trust and move forward. '...Alright.' Trusting that Wrath would keep his word, he unleashed Heaven's Rift towards the approaching storm of light and darkness. "Sword Domain." -Demonic Incarnation. Noble silver frost bloomed over the blade of the Heavenly Drive, which was dyeing the heaven and earth golden. "Heaven's Rift." -Snow Flower. Within the brilliantly spreading radiance of Heaven's Rift, a blue flower blooms. The energy of uncontrollable power that could freeze even light and darkness enveloped the world. What followed was a grand sword strike that seemed to split the sky and countless thin, sharp cutting strikes spreading out beyond count. The frozen pillar of light and darkness was erased without leaving a single piece, and flowers of frost fluttered in the sky. Everything that existed before his eyes had disappeared.
