The Reincarnated Assassin is a Genius Swordsman 754

 Chapter 754

 

The Fighting Demon swallowed dryly as he watched Raon, who had suddenly appeared and split the Demonic Wolf Monarch's body into three pieces.

"Amun?"

He couldn't believe that Amun, the fighter known as the Black Fox, had suddenly appeared and killed the Demonic Wolf Monarch.

Having summoned Amun himself and confirmed his strength and aura, this entire situation felt unreal, leaving his mind in a daze.

"The twin swords of fire and frost... wait, what?"

The Fighting Demon's jaw trembled as he looked at the two blazing swords in Raon's hands.

"Those swords... no way!"

He had heard that when Raon Zieghart activated his sword field, a divine sword burning with flames and a demonic sword condensed with frost would manifest.

Looking up, he saw that the sun and moon had risen on the ceiling of the arena.

It was certain. The fighter once known as Amun, the Black Fox, was none other than the Usurper, Raon Zieghart.

"Raon Zieghart!"

 

The Master of the White Demon Sword also seemed to recognize Raon's true identity, biting his lip until it bled.

"Fighting Demon! Did you betray us?"

He drew his sword from his waist and aimed it at both Raon and the Fighting Demon.

"Fool! Even after seeing this, you say such things?"

The Fighting Demon frowned, pointing at the chaotic arena that looked like a riot had broken out.

"No matter where the information leaked from, that's not important now."

Gritting his teeth, he glared at Raon.

"Capturing that arrogant brat is the only way to resolve this."

Saying they needed to handle this as quickly as possible, the Fighting Demon took down the large red sword (greatsword) hanging on the wall.

"Hmm..."

The Master of the White Demon Sword, too, drew his blackened long sword from his waist, setting aside his suspicions about the Fighting Demon.

[Don't move just yet.]

The Fighting Demon focused his gaze on Raon while sending an aura message to the Master of the White Demon Sword.

[Demonic Wolf Monarch will revive soon.]

Since the Demonic Wolf Monarch was enveloped in demonic energy, he wouldn't die just because he was cut by a sword. They needed to distract Raon so that the Demonic Wolf Monarch could ambush him.

"Those are Zieghart's brats! Kill them all, don't leave a single one alive!"

The Fighting Demon stomped the ground fiercely and roared towards the arena.

"You move too!"

The Master of the White Demon Sword also ordered the White Demon division to kill the Light Wind division.

"Tear them limb from limb!"

At the enraged shout of the vice floor master, the mages of the Black Tower also charged at the Light Wind division.

Rumble!

Numerous enemies swarmed toward the Light Wind division, forming a shape like a black wave.

"Raon Zieghart."

The Fighting Demon motioned toward Raon, who stood calmly.

"If you stand there doing nothing, all your subordinates will die."

He sneered openly to make Raon anxious.

"My subordinates? You think that's possible?"

Raon chuckled as if it were a ridiculous notion.

"You really are as arrogant as they say."

The Fighting Demon flushed with anger at Raon's mockery, but he calmed himself down inside.

'He’s moving.'

The Demonic Wolf Monarch's corpse, which had been struck down by Raon, began to twitch. If they could buy just a little more time, the Demonic Wolf Monarch would revive and launch a sneak attack.

"How did you find this place?"

The Master of the White Demon Sword seemed to have the same thought and spoke to Raon, blood vessels bulging in his eyes.

"By looking at a map."

Raon wiggled his finger, saying it was all on the map.

"Raon Zieghart!"

"Die!"

The Fighting Demon and the Master of the White Demon Sword simultaneously unleashed slashes. Aura waves imbued with the will of rage surged toward Raon's neck and heart.

Clang!

Raon swung the divine sword and demonic sword in a cross, cutting through their attacks.

"You're holding back your strength, huh."

Lowering his two swords, he shook his head.

"Is it because of the guy behind me?"

With a knowing grin, Raon stomped on the twitching corpse of the Demonic Wolf Monarch.

Boom!

The corpse, which had been about to revive, was crushed and scattered.

"Sorry, but that one won't be coming back."

"W-what kind of nonsense is that?!"

The Fighting Demon's eyes widened in shock.

"I've fought the Black Tower many times, so I didn't just attack the body—I struck the soul."

Raon sneered at the now-motionless body of the Demonic Wolf Monarch, revealing eyes as red as the sun.

"Demonic Wolf Monarch is finished here."

***

Raon twisted his lips as he looked at the Demonic Wolf Monarch’s corpse, which had returned to human form.

'It worked perfectly.'

Since the Black Tower's mages used demonic energy (ma-gi), ghastly energy (yo-gi), and death energy (sa-gi), they often revived even after being decapitated or having their hearts exploded.

Raon had anticipated that the Demonic Wolf Monarch wouldn't die easily, so he had infused the Raging Sea of the Beast King Ogram into the sword strike of the sword field Harmony of Heaven and Demon.

If the Demonic Wolf Monarch had reached Transcendence, it might not have worked, but since he was only a Grandmaster, it wasn't difficult to end his life.

You really do have a sharp mind.

Wrath exhaled as if impressed.

"But it's still two against one! We'll just kill you in one go!"

The Fighting Demon slammed his greatsword into the ground, and the Master of the White Demon Sword leaped to the ceiling and stabbed his longsword.

Rumble!

As the sword strikes unleashed by the two Grandmasters were about to swallow Raon, a green wind formed a thick barrier.

Whoosh!

The wall of wind crushed the Fighting Demon and the Master of the White Demon Sword's attacks, making them vanish as if they had never existed.

"That's not right."

Rimmer, who had summoned the wind wall, climbed onto the top-floor observation deck, clicking his tongue.

"It's not two against one, it's two against two."

He spun his sword, grinning.

"Sword of Light..."

The Master of the White Demon Sword bit his lip deeply as if he had encountered Rimmer before.

"Still hopping around like a grasshopper, I see. It's always amazing to watch your arms and legs move like that."

Rimmer lightly spread his hands, as if greeting an old acquaintance.

"Division leader."

He stepped back to Raon's side and wiggled his fingers.

"Shall we make a bet? 100 gold coins to whoever catches them first?"

"Sounds good."

Raon nodded while standing in front of the Fighting Demon.

"Hah..."

The Fighting Demon let out an exasperated sigh.

"How dare a brat who wasn't even born when this kingdom was founded!"

His forehead veins bulged as if he were genuinely furious.

"I’ll show you why they call me the Fighting Demon!"

"Because you're crazy about money."

"Crazy about money and fighting!"

The Fighting Demon kicked off the ground with his greatsword resting on his shoulder. The marble floor of the observation deck rose like a wave, obscuring the view.

Crash!

As Raon watched the approaching marble waves, the Fighting Demon swung his sword down from the left side.

'He's no fool.'

Knowing the Fighting Demon wouldn't make such an obvious attack, Raon wasn't surprised. Instead, he pivoted on his ankle to the left.

Bang!

Shifting his weight onto his big toe, he simultaneously swung up the divine sword and demonic sword.

Boom!

When Raon's two swords clashed head-on with the Fighting Demon's greatsword, an enormous force exploded, causing the left side of the observation deck to collapse.

Thud!

Raon stepped on the falling iron framework and slashed at the Fighting Demon with the Ten Thousand Flames Cultivation’s Revolving Sky.

The frost of the demonic sword sharpened into serrated blades, shooting towards the Fighting Demon's heart.

"Hmph!"

The Fighting Demon  lifted the flat side of his greatsword and easily deflected the attack as if it were nothing.

'As expected.'

As the Fighting Demon’s greatsword came down, Raon licked his lips.

'He moves just as I thought.'

Swordsmen who use greatswords deflect attacks using the flat side of the blade, not the edge, when defending, and the Fighting Demon was no different.

'This is my chance.'

Raon used a modified version of the Master of the Demon Ghost Sword’s footwork technique to close the distance. (Master of the Demon Ghost Sword is Kroy the Holy Sword Alliance’s executive from the Saber Sword Sovereign Arc)

"Where do you think you're going!"

As expected of a Grandmaster, The Fighting Demon quickly regained his stance, but Raon's sword had already closed in on him.

Boom!

Frost and the wind of Light Wind Flow entwined with the simultaneous strikes of Raon's divine and demonic swords.

The faster advancing blade hammered the Fighting Demon's greatsword relentlessly.

“Ugh!”

Even though The Fighting Demon was pushed back, he tried to go on the offensive, but Raon didn't give him the chance.

‘I need to keep pressing him.’

Using the Supreme Harmony Steps, Raon kept closing the distance, unleashing his sword techniques in rapid succession to prevent The Fighting Demon from switching to offense.

Rumble!

In the end, the Fighting Demon could only focus on defense, unable to form an offensive stance, until he fell to the ground in the arena.

"You're still far from it."

Raon spoke coldly as he struck down with the Fangs of Insanity and Blizzard Sword Art, shattering the astral sphere barrier that the Fighting Demon had erected.

“Grrr…”

The Fighting Demon constantly retreated, biting his lips.

'What is this guy...?'

There were no openings in his assault!

He hadn’t underestimated Raon, nor did he let his guard down just because he was young, but he still couldn’t find an opportunity to attack.

The sword of fire and the sword of frost intertwined like gears, leaving him no time to react.

He felt ashamed of his nickname, the Fighting Demon.

'But I must endure!'

He couldn’t die here!

He hadn’t even spent the money he’d accumulated, so dying now was out of the question. He had to survive, even if he had to crawl on the ground.

'No matter how difficult, there’s always an answer.'

His true strength wasn’t his sword—it was his eyes.

With eyes that coveted treasures, he could grasp the flow of his opponent's swordsmanship. If he could just buy a little more time, he was confident he could win.

Crackle!

Despite his body covered in wounds, the Fighting Demon focused all his attention on Raon’s swordsmanship.

As he refused to give up and carefully observed, the flow and characteristics of Raon’s sword techniques began to reveal themselves to him.

Rumble!

The Fighting Demon stealthily pushed his greatsword through the subtle gaps that appeared in Raon's defense.

Clang!

For the first time since the battle began, Raon was pushed back. Finally, his attack had landed.

"Now it begins… Huh?"

Just as the Fighting Demon licked his dry lips and tried to continue his offensive…

Shiiing!

Raon's swordsmanship, which had retreated and then surged forward, changed drastically. The sword paths that focused on speed and power now contained precision, illusion, and destructive.

Boom!

The intensity of the change was so great that The Fighting Demon couldn't adapt and was forced backward again, his vision blurring.

"W-what the hell…."

The Fighting Demon’s eyes trembled in disbelief.

"You're not tired already, are you?"

Raon tilted his chin slightly and smirked.

"I still have a lot of sword techniques to test out."

"You… you bastard!"

The Fighting Demon charged at Raon, masking the despair in his eyes with anger.

The red-glowing greatsword exploded with aura as it came crashing down. It was as heavy as the mountain of gold he’d accumulated. This was the ultimate technique of the Tenfold Azure Sword’s Azure Divine Mighty Thunder.

Powerful sword, destructive sword, heavy sword, vicious sword.'

 

In a split second, Raon saw through the principles of Azure Divine Mighty Thunder. He twisted his body to the left and combined the solid (firm) energy from his energy center with the divine and demonic swords, and unleashed the Demonic Righteous Sword.

The Demonic Righteous Sword’s technique, Manifesting Demonic Medium Cloud.

The astral sphere surged like a cloud, crushing the energy of Azure Divine Mighty Thunder and enveloping the Fighting Demon’s entire body.

Slash!

As Raon tilted the divine sword downward, blood burst from the Fighting Demon's vital points.

"Guh…argh…"

The Fighting Demon dropped his greatsword, collapsing onto the sand.

"Th-this… is… impossible…."

His entire body trembled as he shook in disbelief at his defeat, before finally falling backward.

"Tch."

Raon clicked his tongue briefly as he looked at the Fighting Demon’s lifeless body.

"I told you to hold out just a bit longer."

It was regrettable, opponents with such adaptability were hard to come by, and he hadn't been able to test all his sword techniques.

Are you really human?

Wrath’s eyes widened in disbelief.

'What?'

You're just a martial arts-obsessed heavenly race lunatic!

Wrath stuck out his tongue, he had seen many humans, but Raon was so different from them that Wrath couldn't comprehend it.

'Don’t insult me.'

Raon flicked Wrath’s forehead. He knew by now that calling him heavenly race wasn’t a compliment, but rather an insult, so he delivered a quick punishment.

“Ugh…”

“T-The Fighting Demon was defeated? Just like that?”

“This makes no sense. This is impossible!”

“Is that… the Usurper, Raon Zieghart?”

“The rumors don’t do him justice. He’s a monster!”

The Fighting Demon’s subordinates trembled in fear, drenched in cold sweat as if in a nightmare.

“Raon Zieghart…”

“They said he was close to Transcendence, and it turns out it was true.”

“A Grandmaster knight as skilled as the Fighting Demon was overwhelmed by swordsmanship alone…”

“I’ve never seen sword techniques like that….”

Even the spectators who hadn’t yet left the arena were left in shock, their mouths agape.

“Hoo.”

Raon exhaled a heavy breath. Facing a Grandmaster like the Fighting Demon and the Demonic Wolf Monarch had only slightly worn him down.

'I guess I did get stronger after training with the head of house.'

He thought he hadn't grown much, but it seemed he had improved quite a bit.

'Not bad.'

Raon searched through the Fighting Demon's belongings and pulled out a sword technique manual and a necklace filled with white mist that they were supposed to trade today.

There was still a sword left, but it seemed to still be up in the observation deck.

"Holy Martial Sword Art, huh…."

Just as Raon was about to open the sword manual, a powerful explosion erupted from the direction of the observation deck.

Boom!

It was Rimmer and the Master of the White Demon Sword. Their sword energies collided, causing a dark storm cloud to form in the sky.

"Just give up already! It's already over on that side!"

Rimmer frowned as he struck down with a lightning-clad sword strike.

“Shut up!”

The Master of the White Demon Sword’s pale face became even whiter as he extended his long sword.

Thanks to his long arms, his swordsmanship twisted in unpredictable directions, targeting Rimmer.

It was like watching a free-flowing aerial sword technique.

‘That grasshopper….’

Raon clicked his tongue as he watched the Master of the White Demon Sword.

‘He looks like a fun opponent.’

With renewed excitement, Raon infused aura into both his sacred and demonic swords, charging up toward the observation deck.

"Huh…?"

“Raon Zieghart?”

Rimmer and the Master of the White Demon Sword widened their eyes simultaneously as Raon suddenly appeared.

"From here on, I’ll take over."

Raon pointed his chin at the Master of the White Demon Sword.

“Hey! I’m bored too. You can’t have all the fun….”

"You lost the bet, right? I won't take the 100 gold."

“Deal!”

Rimmer immediately stepped back without hesitation. Money was everything to that elf.

Seriously...

Wrath scowled as he watched Raon get excited over a new sword battle.

If you were going to act like this, you should’ve fought the guy wielding demonic energy instead of ambushing him!

‘But he wasn’t a swordsman.’

You…

Wrath leaned in closer, tilting his head.

Are you planning to quit house Zieghart and join the Holy Sword Alliance?

'……'
