The Reincarnated Assassin is a Genius Swordsman 768

 Chapter 768

 

Raon bit his lip while aiming the divine sword at the Two-Headed Demon.

'A child?'

Not only was the Two-Headed Demon short in stature, but his words and actions were filled with innocent naivety, making it feel as if he was looking at a child. 

However, his eyes, gleaming with sinister malice, proved that he was indeed a demon from Eden.

'Let’s calm down first.'

A terrifying combative energy radiated from the Two-Headed Demon. It was an opponent Raon had to face with full strength from the start, as he wasn’t confident he could win in his current state.

‘I also have to think about the Green King.’

The Green King, who had been pushed back, had regained her combat stance. Even though she had lost some strength, her basic martial power was still strong, making her an opponent that couldn’t be underestimated.

However, he didn't worry about the Soul Severing Sword behind him, as Rimmer would defend against him even at the cost of his life.

‘Right now, let's focus solely on my own fight.’

Although there were unsettling thoughts and questions about the Soul Severing Sword, the Two-Headed Demon, and the Green King, now wasn’t the time to dwell on them.

If he let his guard down or became careless, it wouldn’t just be him — the entire Light Wind division could be wiped out.

"Are you planning to take on both of us by yourself?"

The Two-Headed Demon sneered in a childish voice.

“I was a Grandmaster since before you were in Sylvia Zieghart’s womb.”

He tilted his chin upward as if mocking him.

“Then you’ve wasted over 20 years.”

Raon twisted his lips into a smirk, looking down at the Two-Headed Demon.

"While I was getting stronger, you were just standing still. Well done."

“As they say, you’ve got quite the mouth on you.”

The Two-Headed Demon bent over and giggled.

"But of course, that mouth of yours will be crushed today!"

As he raised his hand, a huge wooden club, unsuited for his small hand, appeared.

“Raon, that club can’t be cut with a sword, so be careful!”

Despite struggling to fend off the Soul Severing Sword’s attacks, Rimmer offered a warning about the Two-Headed Demon.

“Vice division leader, can you hold out?”

Raon exhaled slowly as he watched Rimmer get pushed back two steps.

"Who are you asking! A mere skeleton is food for an elf!"

Rimmer shouted not to worry, aiming his sword at the sky.

"Sword Field Creation: Song of Wind and Lightning."

The words infused with his soul summoned green wind and red lightning.

Rumble, rumble, rumble!

Between Rimmer and the Soul Severing Sword, a storm of thunder and lightning raged, as if connecting the sky and the land.

Crackle!

However, the Soul Severing Sword wasn’t fazed. Infused with darkness, the skull-engraved sword sliced through the wind and lightning.

“……”

The Green King, who had been glaring angrily at Raon, now turned her gaze to Rimmer’s sword field.

Her red eyes shimmered faintly.

“Where are you looking!”

The Two-Headed Demon shrieked, swinging his club downward. The huge club descended like a thin twig, without any delay.

"Phew..."

Raon clicked his tongue as he watched the club descend as if to crush his skull.

'He said it can’t be cut.'

Trusting that Rimmer's advice wouldn't be wrong, he raised the divine sword with the intent to block rather than cut.

Bang!

As the club and divine sword clashed head-on, a powerful shockwave exploded vertically.

The immense combative energy penetrated through his aura, sinking deep into his bones. Only one thought came to his mind—he’s strong.

"Yes, you should at least be able to block this much."

The Two-Headed Demon giggled and swung the club horizontally. Before the sound reached him, the shadow of the club already covered his vision. The strength and speed were overwhelming.

Raon narrowed his eyes, blocking the club with the Flame Wall using the demonic sword.

‘It’s powerful and fast, but...’

It’s simple.

The Two-Headed Demon wasn’t using any flashy techniques or varied martial arts, just brute strength, speed, and an overwhelming amount of combative energy to pressure him.

It was different from the characteristics of an ettin, which, despite their size, displayed cunning behavior.

‘Let's not let my guard down.’

There was always a chance that the Two-Headed Demon’s movements were a ruse, Raon carefully considered several countermeasures before tilting his upper body forward and twisting his wrist, gripping the divine sword.

Fwoosh!

Flames spiraled from the blade of the divine sword, violently pushing back the Two-Headed Demon’s club.

"For someone who inherited an ettin’s power, you’re pretty weak."

Raon curled his lips while looking down at the Two-Headed Demon.

While considering various countermeasures in his mind, he pretended to focus on the straightforward fight, subtly moving his fingers.

“Why are you just standing there! Fight already!”

The Two-Headed Demon yelled at the Green King, who had been focusing on Rimmer’s sword field.

“……”

The Green King finally seemed to snap out of it, trembling slightly before charging at Raon.

Her eyes fixed on the divine sword and the demonic sword, displaying even sharper swordsmanship than before.

“There’s no need for me to go all out when we have the advantage in numbers!”

The Two-Headed Demon swung his club from behind the Green King, as if using her as a shield.

“Then I don’t need to fight you head-on either.”

He couldn’t afford to fall into the Two-Headed Demon’s psychological games.

Whish!

Raon deflected the Green King’s sword strikes and dodged the Two-Headed Demon’s club by stepping back.

Whoosh!

The Green King, as if frustrated, lunged in even faster, thrusting her sword forward.

Her gaze remained focused on the divine sword and the demonic sword, not on Raon.

Kwang!

Raon deflected the slightly sloppier sword attacks of the Green King and even flowed away the combative energy of the Two-Headed Demon pressing in from behind.

He planned to wear them down this way and strike when an opportunity presented itself.

“So that’s how you want to play, huh?”

The Two-Headed Demon laughed, as if Raon would regret it, resting his club on his shoulder.

“Then I’ll fight dirty too!”

Instead of targeting Raon, he rushed toward House Arianne’s fortress.

“Tsk.”

Clicking his tongue, Raon stepped forward with the Supreme Harmony Steps, chasing after the Two-Headed Demon and extending the flames of the divine sword toward his neck.

“As expected!”

The Two-Headed Demon sneered as if he anticipated it, swinging down his club to extinguish the flames.

Shing!

Not surprised by the divine sword being pushed back, Raon raised the tilted demonic sword.

The silver blade scattered like the edge of an aurora, slicing thinly across the Two-Headed Demon’s shoulder. Blood flowed from his shoulder.

"I never thought there would be a human who matches me in strength."

The Two-Headed Demon laughed at the blood flowing from his shoulder.

"It seems your bloodline is indeed strong."

He chuckled and shook his head.

What nonsense are you spouting!

Wrath shouted at the Two-Headed Demon.

It’s not his bloodline, it’s because he stole the King of Essence’s stats and abilities! Now he’s nothing but skin and bones!

He yelled, waving his hands wildly, for him to understand what he was talking about.

“But surely, you’re not unscathed either.”

The Two-Headed Demon lifted his chin as if he knew everything.

“……”

Raon didn’t reply, raising both the divine sword and the demonic Sword.

As the Two-Headed Demon said, Raon had the upper hand in strength and speed, but in terms of physical endurance, the Two-Headed Demon had the advantage. He needed to be careful not to worsen his internal injuries

"But..."

The Two-Headed Demon glanced back and clicked its tongue.

“I don’t understand why she’s slacking off.”

He frowned as he looked at the Green King, who was observing Raon's and Rimmer's sword field in turn.

“Hm….”

Raon narrowed his eyes. As the Two-Headed Demon said, the Green King seemed a bit strange ever since he and Rimmer had activated their sword field.

“You’re useless right now! Stop watching and move!”

“……”

In response to the Two-Headed Demon’s shout, the Green King stomped the ground. She seemed to be under the Two-Headed Demon’s control.

Whoosh!

As the blade extended by the Green King wavered thinly, twenty sword strikes surged toward his vital points.

It was a swordsmanship that drew attention with feints using variable sword and illusion sword, then finishing with swift and severing sword.

Whish!

The Two-Headed Demon, to avoid counterattacks, again hid behind the Green King and struck down with his club.

He was a vile creature, disgusting enough to turn Raon’s stomach.

Boom!

Raon used both the divine sword and demonic Sword to unleash the Flawless Sea of Fire.

A storm of frost descending from the sky and a storm of fire rising from the ground merged, incinerating all the combative energy from the Green King and the Two-Headed Demon.

"……."

The Green King, though vomiting blood as if suffering from severe internal injuries, did not stop wielding her sword. She glared at the divine sword and demonic sword, unleashing a series of advanced sword strikes.

Clang!

Raon, as if possessed, swung the divine sword and the demonic sword, blocking all of the Green King’s and Two-Headed Demon’s onslaught.

'Endure.'

Facing both the Two-Headed Demon and the Green King at the same time had caused internal injuries to accumulate, but it wasn’t to the point where he couldn’t endure.

If he could find an opportunity to use the Red-Blue Invincible Sword, he could incapacitate both at once.

“Indeed….”

The Two-Headed Demon, wielding a wooden club, was forced back, furrowing his brows.

"You are strong. I guess I need to get a bit rougher."

He snapped his fingers toward the Green King.

"Uaaaaaaah!"

As soon as the Green King heard the Two-Headed Demon’s signal, she lifted her head to the sky and let out a thunderous roar.

Upon hearing her cry, the monsters charged toward the walls of House Arianne’s fortress as if there was no tomorrow.

Rumble.

Even the special monsters, who had been standing in place as if to guard their king, left the Green King behind and leapt toward the walls.

"They are the royal guards protecting the king. It won't be easy to stop them this time."

The Two-Headed Demon licked his lips slowly, trying to unsettle Raon.

“Just like your father and sister, your Light Wind division will also have their flesh torn apart by the monsters.”

“They won’t.”

Raon shook his head, unfazed.

“What?”

“I didn’t raise my people to be that weak.”

At the moment Raon expressed his belief in the Light Wind division, the brown-skinned troll who had been the first to climb the wall fell with its arms and legs severed.

Thud!

As the huge body of the troll crashed down, it crushed five orcs beneath it, killing them instantly.

“Hey, you little brat. Don’t underestimate the Mad Dog division.”

Martha, standing atop the wall, ran her hand through her silk-like black hair.

“The ones getting torn apart won’t be us, but you.”

She gestured with her finger, telling them to come at her as much as they wanted.

“It’s not the Mad Dog division, it's the Light Wind division!”

Burren, wiping the troll’s blood from his sword, shook his head.

“But your words aren’t wrong. The ones getting torn apart will be you.”

He revealed cold eyes like Karoon's and looked down.

"Raon, we can hold out here."

Runaan, who had frozen the leg of an ogre to climb the wall, raised her fist.

“Hang in there.”

She waved her sword as if telling him not to worry about the walls and focus on the fight.

“W-Wait, let’s not provoke them too much, okay?”

Dorian, slicing through an orc from behind the three captains, trembled slightly as he spoke.

“Kuhahahaha!”

Despite being slightly pushed back by the Soul Severing Sword, Rimmer burst out laughing, clearly pleased with everyone's reactions.

“That’s what they said.”

Raon, with his back to House Arianne’s fortress, let a faint smile form on his face.

“Then let’s do this.”

The Two-Headed Demon flicked his finger, and from the forest, a red tide began to surge.

Wearing white cloths over their faces and red uniforms, they were the Red Demons, soldiers of Eden.

"Losing troops is unfortunate, but capturing you will more than make up for it."

The Two-Headed Demon bared his teeth in a grin, as if ready to see it through to the end.

‘This is dangerous.’

Though few in number, there were also some helmeted demons among the Red Demons. If they were to join forces with the monsters, even the Light Wind division wouldn’t be able to hold the wall. They must not be allowed to enter.

“Tch.”

Raon bit his lip, firing the Flame Spirit and Heavenly Heavy Cannon toward the Red Demons charging the fortress.

Zeeeeeng!

However, the Green King and the Two-Headed Demon raised a wall of combative energy, preventing Raon from stopping the Red Demons.

"These days, times have changed, and being clingy is a turn-off."

Raon frowned as he pushed back the Two-Headed Demon with the divine sword and pressed down on the Green King with the demonic sword.

"It's fine. Eden doesn’t care about things like affection."

The Two-Headed Demon clung to Raon like a leech, pressing him hard, determined to take him to Eden.

Rumble!

Unlike the monsters aiming for the broken sections of the wall, the Red Demons moved toward vulnerable spots left open due to a lack of personnel.

With their surprise assault, they broke through the wall in an instant.

Chiiiing!

Just as the Red Demons were about to leap down into the fortress to target the soldiers and rangers—

Kuwaaaaa!

Two streams of astral spheres surged from inside the fortress, tearing apart the Red Demons and monsters that had entered.

Blood sprayed, and the once noisy fortress wall fell silent as two swordswomen ascended.

It was Serena, the leader of the Void Sword division, and Sylvia, the head of the annex building, sent from Zieghart as reinforcements.

“M-Mom?”

Raon’s eyes widened. He knew reinforcements were coming, but he never imagined that Sylvia would be among them. The word “mom” slipped out without him realizing it.

“Why are you here mom…?”

“I told you.”

Sylvia beheaded the troll climbing the wall and winked.

“It’s not just the annex building that I have to protect. You’re included, too.”

She waved, as if saying she was the one who requested to come as reinforcements.

“Leave the wall to us.”

Serena, with a heavy nod, reassured him not to worry.

Whisss!

The Soul Severing Sword, who had been pressing Rimmer as if to kill him, suddenly stopped when Sylvia appeared and was deeply cut at the waist by Rimmer.

“What the hell are you doing?”

Rimmer had cut the Soul Severing Sword but, unable to grasp his intentions, lowered his sword and frowned.

“But this place is….”

Sylvia surveyed the battlefield, her gaze falling on the frozen Soul Severing Sword and the Green King standing in a daze. She tilted her head slightly before trembling when she spotted the Two-Headed Demon.

“You….”

"I don't think you remember me. After all, you were unconscious before you ran away..."

The Two-Headed Demon grinned widely, clearly pleased by the turn of events.

"So, you do remember me, huh?"

He mocked her, waving his finger as Sylvia breathed heavily.

"Two-Headed Demon!"

Sylvia, losing all reason, kicked off the wall and leapt onto the plains below.

As if she could see nothing else, she fired the light of Shining Light Flow at the Two-Headed Demon.

"So, If I kill you and Raon, does that mean I've annihilated an entire family?"

The Two-Headed Demon sneered sinisterly, slamming down his wooden club. The combative energy he unleashed was faster and fiercer than before, as if he had been holding back all this time.

'Damn!'

Raon followed Sylvia’s right side, unleashing the Flame Dragon Art.

Even though she was a Grandmaster, she wouldn’t last five exchanges against the Two-Headed Demon. He had to stop him, no matter what.

Jjeooeoeong!

As if expecting it, the Two-Headed Demon blocked the Flame Dragon Art and retreated, completely ignoring Sylvia.

"Uwaaaah!"

Sylvia, now even more enraged, screamed as she charged at the Two-Headed Demon.

"Stop it!"

Raon yelled as he restrained Sylvia, who had lost all reason.

"If you don’t pull yourself together, you'll really die, mom!"

“Ugh….”

Even after hearing Raon's cry, Sylvia couldn't seem to regain her composure, her arms and legs trembling.

Your mom's emotions are overflowing with wrath.

Wrath bit his lip, his face reddened.

It’s almost the same level of wrath as when you summoned me...

He let out a deep sigh, surprised that she had hidden such sadness and hatred.

"Let’s fight together. We can win."

Raon gripped Sylvia’s hand tightly. He wanted to tell her to step back, but he also wanted her to overcome her trauma through this battle.

“I’m sorry….”

Regaining a bit of her sanity, Sylvia nodded heavily.

"Do you think we can win? And if we do win, would it really be a victory?"

The Demon-Headed Demon muttered something incomprehensible and curled his lip. He continued his psychological warfare, but Raon ignored it and waved his hand.

Rumble!

Raon tightened his grip on Sylvia’s hand once more and raised both the divine sword and demonic sword.

With the divine sword, he unleashed the Azure Sky's Grand Elegance, and with the demonic sword, he fired the Heavenly Heavy Cannon.

Woooong!

Reading Raon’s intent, Sylvia immediately activated the Shining Light Flow, scattering a powerful light.

Boom!

A series of powerful sword strikes thrust forward, pushing back the Two-Headed Demon's club and leaving a deep wound on his left thigh.

"Ugh, you're quite strong, but...."

Helplessly pushed backward, the Two-Headed Demon called out to the Green King.

Boom!

The Green King swiftly moved behind to support him.

At that moment, Raon's eyes flashed. It was an opportunity to incapacitate both of them simultaneously.

Whoooom!

Raon advanced using the Supreme Harmony Steps, crossing the divine sword and the demonic sword. Sunlight and moonlight seeped into the two swords, radiating a magnificent brilliance.

Harmony of Heaven and Demon’s Combination Technique.

Red-Blue Invincible Sword.

A massive energy, as if it would shatter the blades of both the divine sword and the demonic sword, surged forth and struck down the Two-Headed Demon's club.

Rumble!

Watching the club tremble as if it would break, Raon took another step forward, and Sylvia intensified the energy of Light Wind Flow.

Szzzt!

The Two-Headed Demon rotated the combative energy around his club, diminishing the power of the Red-Blue Invincible Sword. It was a movement befitting a demon of Eden with countless battle experiences.

'It's useless, though.'

Raon bit his lip, focusing all his strength into his grip.

'I'll cut you down here.'

To ensure a definite end, he rotated the tip of his swords. Fire and frost spun in the same direction as the Two-Headed Demon’s combative energy, beginning to cleave through his energy.

'This is the end.'

Just as Raon was about to unleash all the energies of the divine sword and the demonic sword to sever the Two-Headed Demon’s neck—

“…Cre, Creation.”

The Green King muttered as her lips trembled, and a pitch-black darkness, filled with despair, unraveled from her sword strike.

"Wha…?"

Seeing the darkness that seemed to push back his Red-Blue Invincible Sword, Raon trembled.

‘Sword Field Creation?’

Though it was a far cruder form compared to the Incomplete Sword Field Creation he had once used, the sword strike unleashed by the Green King clearly followed the flow of Sword Field Creation.

“Sw-sword field?”

Even Sylvia, realizing it was the sword field, trembled as she gripped her sword.

As Raon gazed at the darkness the Green King had unleashed, various suspicions and doubts that he had buried began to creep into his mind.

'Could it be…?'
