The Reincarnated Assassin is a Genius Swordsman 774

 Chapter 774

 

Raon glared at the Fallen, whose chest had been split open, as he fell.

‘What…?’

Just a moment ago, I had lost my reason, unable to overcome the wrath. I felt darkness filling my mind, but I didn’t know why I had regained my senses.

‘And also….’

I felt stronger than ever.

The once exhausted mind had calmed, and a vast energy, one he had never felt before, surged through his entire body. It was a power that made him feel omnipotent, capable of ruling all things in the world.

Of course!

Wrath suddenly popped up from below, shoving his face forward.

Because that's the power of the King of Essence!

He yelled furiously, claiming his power had been stolen again.

‘Stolen?’

Didn’t you feel yourself being consumed by wrath!
‘I did.’

Just as the King of Essence, was being sucked into your body and was about to go out of control…

Wrath raised his round hand and pointed at Raon’s left chest.

A pair of wings sprouted from the ring embedded in your chest, and pushed me out! What the hell is that thing!

He shook his head furiously, saying it was something impossible.

‘Wings?’

Raon touched his left chest with a trembling hand. Just as Wrath said, over the eight rings that were spinning violently as if they had become one, wings of fire wrapped in heat had sprouted.

The moment those wings sprouted, your mind became so solid that he couldn’t penetrate it. The power passed over, but your mind stayed intact—does that even make sense?

‘So that’s why the rampage stopped?’

Exactly. Thanks to that, the King of Essence was able to control the wrath as well.

Wrath frowned, saying that if not for that, everyone here would have died.

“Hmm…”

Raon turned around. Because of the explosion earlier, everyone from House Arianne had collapsed, but it seemed like no one had died, possibly due to the distance.

To put it another way, those wings are the time your reason will hold.

As Wrath said, the feathers of the wings were falling one by one. It seemed that once they all disappeared, Raon would lose control.

So, before that happens, you need to drive that brat mask away and get as far from here as possible.

Wrath slowly raised his gaze and pointed at the Fallen who had collapsed.

‘I pierced his heart, though?’

That brat mask won’t die from just that.

Raon narrowed his eyes as he looked at the Fallen. He had split the Fallen’s heart with Heavenly Drive, but Wrath was certain that he would rise again.

Kugugugugu!

As if to prove Wrath’s words true, a brilliant light spread around the Fallen, and he slowly began to raise himself.

It was a holy sight, as if the word resurrection was literally brought to life.

'How am I supposed to defeat something like that?'

Raon bit his lip and raised Heavenly Drive.

‘I don’t know if I can do it.’

Don't worry. Right now, your physical body and energy are clearly that of the King of Essence.

'So that’s why I feel this power...'

Though your mind is woefully, terribly lacking, your body and energy are the strongest, so you’ll be able to fight him!

Wrath shook his head, saying that he wouldn’t be able to use all of his power, but it would be enough to drive the Fallen away.

And it’s not about whether you can do it, it’s that you must do it.

He gestured toward the people who had collapsed in front of them as he spoke.

They aren’t dead yet.

‘Ah…’

As Wrath said, Merlin, Rimmer, and Edgar’s breathing could be heard.

However, Rector, who had blocked all the demonic energy at the front, and Sylvia, who had thrown herself to protect Edgar and Sia, were breathing so faintly that it wouldn’t be surprising if it stopped at any moment.

‘That’s right.’

Raon nodded with his lips bitten.

‘It’s not about whether I can do it, I have to do it no matter what.’

As soon as he thought about moving them, wrath energy moved on its own and lifted Merlin, Rimmer, Edgar, Sylvia, Sia, and Rector into the air.

After moving the six people toward House Arianne's side, Raon stepped forward and faced the Fallen.

“…That terrifying presence has disappeared.”

The Fallen's narrowed eyes trembled as if he had felt the pressure when Wrath was about to descend.

“Although the ridiculous amount of energy remains, it feels much weaker than at first.”

He squinted his eyes, seemingly trying to understand the bizarre situation.

“Then come. I’ll tear that mouth of yours apart first.”

Raon beckoned the Fallen with his finger.

“Certainly… Killing you here is the right choice.”

The Fallen said he would bury Raon here, who had created countless variables, and raised his hand. From his palm, a magnificent light soared.

Don’t be nervous.

Wrath exhaled a low breath while gripping Raon’s shoulder.

If that brat mask had been a martial artist, no matter how much of the King of Essence's energy you possessed, you wouldn't stand a chance against him. But he is a mage, a sorcerer. You can fight him.

‘Right. I have to.’

The moment Raon nodded, the light in the Fallen's hand shot towards him.

Unlike typical magic, which took the form of arrows or blades, it was light itself, moving so fast that even with his sharpened sight, he could only faintly see its trajectory.

The upper right and left won’t reach! Just block the front!

‘Got it.’

Listening to Wrath’s advice, Raon unleashed frost from his mana circuits toward the dazzling light in front of him.

Kwaaaaa!

The frost wave that extended from Heavenly Drive split the incoming light.

“Though the energy is absurdly powerful, your skill remains the same.”

The Fallen, showing no signs of panic, fired an even denser light, as if this was only the beginning. The thin light condensed into a thick pillar, and its speed doubled as well as its power.

Slash!

Raon exhaled half a breath and slashed with Frost Pond.

The gigantic frost blade rising from his sword cleaved through the pillar of light fired like a cannon. Frost so cold it could freeze even light—this was a power beyond the laws of the world.

“I can’t comprehend this….”

The Fallen’s squinted eyes wrinkled in disbelief at the frozen light.

"There's always a limit to power that's suddenly gained."

He said that it would eventually reveal its downfall and raised an even thicker and stronger light.

Normally, that’s right. But…

Wrath trembled as he frowned.

This guy is different! He twists the laws of causality on his own!

He shook his head wildly, as if pleading with the Fallen.

“Let’s end this here.”

At the Fallen’s snap of his fingers, eight pillars of light rose around Raon.

It was an ominous magic, blocking every escape and seeming to intend to erase his very existence.

There’s nothing to fear! Trust in the King of Essence’s energy, trust in your sword!

‘Of course.’

Without hesitation, Raon stepped forward. As he advanced toward the pillars of light, he unleashed the Frost Dragon Art.

Hwaaaaaaa!

A dragon, even larger than the mad dragon kaibar, surged from the pure white blade.

As the blue dragon opened its mouth, a breath of cold that seemed to freeze the entire world poured out, shattering all the light pillars.

Kwaaaaaaa!

The plain, which had been filled with red blood and black demonic energy, turned into a pristine white snowfield with no trace of footprints.

“Haa…”

Raon exhaled a white breath and straightened his back.

‘I’m starting to get the hang of this.’

Since Raon had always handled Glacier’s cold energy naturally, there was no major issue in controlling wrath energy either.

Although it was burdensome due to its large scale, his body had also grown, allowing him to withstand it.

Ugh, it’s working well, but why does he feel so angry….

Wrath both sighed in relief and grumbled with frustration, causing half of his face to smile while the other half frowned.

“How annoying,”

As the Fallen stretched out his hand, the night vanished, and the sky and land were filled with a brilliant light.

Everything before his eyes seemed to shine with the light of the Fallen. Various dazzling lights, like different sword techniques, flew in from all directions.

Chiiiing!

With a noble posture, Raon raised Heavenly Drive. Blue, frost-covered petals bloomed along the blade, pointing toward the sky.

Thousands—no, tens of thousands—of frost fragments collided with the radiant mass of light created by the Fallen.

Kuwaaaaaang!

Countless clashes followed as the ground's surface overturned, and the sky roared with thunder like screams.

The fierce, surreal waves of energy showed no signs of stopping.

Thud!

Raon wasn’t content with just defending. He pushed forward, driving the ground back beneath him.

The softly blooming cold energy took the shape of wings behind his back, while the frost-covered world tree that had risen from the cracks in the ground radiated an even whiter cold energy.

Crack!

Heavenly Drive, fired like a blue lightning bolt, tore through a wall of light the Fallen had created, carving deep wounds across his left shoulder and chest.

Flash!

As Raon was about to unleash the Crimson Slash, the Fallen retreated, turning into fragments of light.

“It seems that the first sword strike wasn’t a coincidence after all.”

He furrowed his brows as he met Raon's red eyes.

Wooooong!

The Fallen brought his hands together and slightly parted his lips. After finishing a high-speed chant, light spread like clouds above his head, and rain made of light poured down from the sky.

‘I have to block all of it.’

Raon clenched his teeth and unleashed the Azure Sky's Grand Elegance. The demon king's energy spread within the sword strike that reflected the sky, engulfing the downpour of light descending from the sky.

Kwooooom!

Even after freezing the pillars of light, Wrath's cold energy still had strength left, turning even the sky white.

To create such a result with his current strength, which hadn’t yet reached Transcendence, it was a power beyond the concept of martial arts.

This is not the time to be surprised! Push him now!

‘I know that!’

Suppressing his rough breathing, Raon dashed to the Fallen’s left side. Raising the tilted Heavenly Drive, he thrust the Sword’s Silvery Dream.

Chiiiiing!

Just like the light mass the Fallen had summoned, the blade of Heavenly Drive split into dozens and surged toward the Fallen’s neck.

Wooooong!

As the Fallen brought his fingers together, a slowly rotating ring of darkness rose from his neck.

Jijijijik!

Heavenly Drive couldn’t reach the Fallen’s neck and stopped in front of the darkness. A terrifying gravitational force that pulled the sword was felt from within the rotating darkness.

"Thanks for coming closer, you’ve saved me some effort to end this."

The Fallen smiled as if it was all over and extended his hand filled with light.

“You're the one who's going to end!”

Raon reached out with his left hand towards The Fallen’s glowing hand.

The Ultimate Technique of the Monarch of Wrath.

Silver Moon Demonic Palm.

When Raon used Wrath's technique, using Wrath’s body and energy, a fierce cold surged from his fingertips, engulfing not only the light but even the Fallen himself.

Kwaaaaaaa!

An ice mountain erupted over the cracked ground, completely trapping the Fallen. It was power capable of freezing the entire world. “Huff…”

Raon grasped his left chest and exhaled heavily.

‘It would be nice if it ended here.’

Only half of the Ring of Fire’s wings remained. The more power he used, the faster the feathers seemed to disappear.

Crackle!

But contrary to his hopes, as if the Silver Moon Demonic Palm was incomplete, the ice mountain was shattered mercilessly by the darkness the Fallen summoned.

It’s still far from enough.

Wrath clicked his tongue briefly, remarking that if it were his own Silver Moon Demonic Palm, it would have ended here.

“Huff.”

The Fallen brushed the ice fragments off his sleeve and exhaled lightly.

“Such cold energy… this is on the level of magic, not martial arts.”                                                                                                                                                                       He erased the light and darkness gathered in his grasp, forming a blade with his hand.

"Seems I have to draw my sword this time."

The Fallen drew his smooth, silk-like hand from top to bottom. At that moment, the space where he stood began to split.

‘How am I supposed to…?’

The power to cut space without any sign or trace—Raon had no idea how to dodge or block it.

Remember when you killed the mad dragon in the ocean! The sword that cuts space!

‘Ah…’

Upon hearing Wrath's shout, Aris' space slash, which had split Kaibar's breath, came to mind.

Following the reverse trajectory of her slash, he raised Heavenly Drive.

Raon Zieghart Style Swordplay.

Seventh Form: Void Slash.

To block the slash that cut through space from above, he struck upwards with the Void Slash from under his feet.

The slashes that cut through space collided from two different directions, creating a jet-black crack in the air.

Jjeojeojeojec!

Through the splitting space, blue frost surged, freezing the shockwave that was about to burst forth.

The sky and land froze white, and the center was blackened, as if signaling the end of the world.

“Guh…”

Raon’s hand, gripping Heavenly Drive, trembled as he bit his lip.

‘It's like walking on thin ice.’

Every time he clashed with the Fallen, it felt like death was creeping up behind him. His heart was pounding so fiercely that it was getting harder to breathe.

This is just the beginning.

Wrath exhaled slowly, shaking his head.

That brat mask isn’t serious yet.

‘I know…’

*   *   *

No one knew better than Raon that the Fallen had not yet revealed his true power.

Right now, the Fallen was holding back because of the presence of Wrath that he sensed earlier.

"Have you sold your soul to demons?"

The Fallen narrowed his eyes as he gazed at the horn sprouting from Raon’s forehead.

"Not my soul, but I did offer something precious."

Raon suppressed his ragged breathing and lifted his head.

‘There’s not much time left.’

The wings of fire protecting the Ring of Fire now had less than a quarter of their feathers remaining.

At this rate, he would lose his mind before he could drive out the Fallen.

"But why do you keep flapping your mouth? Are you scared or something?"

Raon chuckled, lifting his chin defiantly.

"Planning to say later that you weren't serious if you lose? Well, I guess it'd be embarrassing for the head of Eden to get beaten by a Grandmaster."

He shrugged, saying he'd understand.

“…Very well.”

Without any change in expression, the Fallen slowly nodded.

"I don't have much time either, so let's stop playing around."

He brought his right and left hands together and chanted at high speed. As the light in his right hand and darkness in his left intersected, a colossal pillar connecting the sky and land surged up.

Kugugugugugu!

The pillar, where light and darkness mixed and gradually turned gray, spread out, collapsing the frozen sky and land as if intending to erase everything in existence.

It was a storm of annihilation that could not be extinguished. 

You can't handle that...

Wrath shook his head, saying that the energy contained in the pillar wasn't normal.

‘I still have to try.’

Raon gripped Heavenly Drive with both hands. He had to overcome it, even if he had to burn up all his energy and soul.

It won't work!

‘What?’

Even if you give everything, you won’t win. So…

Wrath muttered that it was impossible and then grabbed his own left hand.

The King of Essence will help you just one more time.

Wrath looked at the fallen Sylvia, Edgar, and Rector in turn before nodding.

Go. He'll match you. Unleash your greatest martial art.

Wrath gripped his left hand tighter, as if telling him to trust and advance.

‘…Got it.’

Wrath was a demon king who kept his word. Trusting in him, Raon initiated Genesis toward the approaching storm of light and darkness.

“Sword Field Creation.”

Demonic Field Creation.

Over the blade of Heavenly Drive, which dyed the sky and land in golden light, a noble silver frost blossomed.

“Genesis.”

Flower in the Snow.

Amid the radiant brilliance of Genesis, a blue flower bloomed. The overwhelming, mysterious energy that froze the colossal pillar of light and darkness engulfed the world.

Kwawaawaaaaaa!

What followed was a grandiose slash that seemed to cleave the sky, accompanied by countless thin, sharp slashes.

The frozen pillar of light and darkness was erased without a trace, while frost flowers gently fluttered down from the sky.

Everything before Raon's eyes had disappeared.
