The Reincarnated Assassin is a Genius Swordsman 767

 Chapter 767

 

Zzeoeeoong!

Raon deflected the sword strike sent by the Green King and then turned his gaze to Wrath.

‘What do you mean by that? She smells similar to me?’

He thought Wrath was lost in thought, maybe even contemplating the evening meal, but then Wrath suddenly said something strange, catching him off guard.

It's exactly as he said.

Wrath motioned toward the Green King with a tilt of his chin.

That fake king has an innate disposition similar to yours.

He muttered that he was certain and furrowed his brow.

‘Disposition? Does that mean she has a talent similar to mine?’

Raon clicked his tongue while watching the Green King, who was once again getting into a stance.

‘That's not good.’

If she truly had the ability to grow stronger while fighting, just like himself, the battle with her would undoubtedly become more arduous than he had thought.

To be precise, her innate talent surpasses yours.

Wrath nodded, acknowledging that even he had to admit the Green King’s talent.

Kyaaaaang!

Raon sliced through the Green King's slash, which came at him with arrow-like speed, and furrowed his brow.

‘To that extent?’

Wrath wasn’t one to easily acknowledge others. If he was praising her talent, then it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say she might be the best on the continent.

‘Indeed, she is a bit different.’

The Green King kept changing the attributes of her swordsmanship as if trying to find his weaknesses.

Seeing her aim for the enemy's weaknesses rather than confronting him with just one confident sword technique made him feel she was indeed similar to himself.

However, what the King of Essence wants to say is not about talent or anything like that.

Wrath calmly shook his head.

‘Then what?’

He means that your innate being feels similar—as if you came from the same womb, for example.

Wrath wrinkled his nose, calling it something strange.

‘I’m not sure what you mean by disposition or smell, but…’

Raon spun Heavenly Drive in his hand while glaring down at the Green King.

‘For now, the priority is to bring her down.’

The Green King was strong. If he let his thoughts wander while facing her, not only he, but also the Light Wind division and the swordsmen of House Arianne behind him, would suffer damage. He had to focus on the battle.

Kuuuuuuuu!

The Green King unleashed another massive combative energy, aiming for the shaking left wall that seemed about to collapse.

Chwaaaak!

Raon unleashed the Frost Pond, freezing the Green King’s sword strike as it dug into the wall.

However, due to the strong shockwave, the left fortress wall eventually crumbled.

Kraaaaaaa!

As if waiting for this moment, ogres and trolls kicked off the ground and leaped onto the collapsed wall.

Of course, there was no need for Raon to move.

Kuuuururung!

Mark Goetten slashed through all the monsters climbing the fortress walls with a strike wrapped in lightning, as if beckoning them to come.

"Tsk."

The Green King clicked her tongue in discontent and pointed her sword toward the right side of the fortress wall. It seemed she intended to launch a diversionary attack. 

“Hoo.”

Raon let out a short sigh as he watched her.

‘I guess I have no choice but to go down.’

The Green King didn’t need to protect the monsters, but since Raon had to protect the people within the fortress, he thought it would be better to go down and fight.

“You can go.”

When Raon turned around, Rimmer thumped his chest as if to say, ‘Trust in this vice division leader.’

“I don’t trust you, though.”

Raon chuckled and kicked off from the fortress wall, leaping down to the plains.

Sizzleee!

As if she had expected it, the Green King stepped forward swiftly and thrust her sword toward Raon's heart.

She aimed for the moment he couldn't move because he was in the air.

"Too bad, but..."

Raon twisted his lips as he stepped on the air as if it were solid ground.

“I overcame that a long time ago.”

He reversed his sword, slashing toward the Green King’s neck.

Claaang!

The Green King hurriedly raised her sword to block, but she was overpowered and forced back five steps.

She tightened her grip on her trembling sword, her eyes becoming even more ferocious.

“What are you thinking?”

Raon tilted his chin, watching as the Green King leaned her upper body forward.

“There’s no treasure in that fortress that you lot would want.”

“…….”

The Green King said nothing. As if fighting was her sole purpose, she leapt through the space in an instant, pushing forward with a fierce sword attack.

“I told you, it's useless… Hmm?”

Raon’s eyes widened as he watched the Green King's swordsmanship. The sword, which had been narrowing in toward him, split into two strands, aiming for both his neck and heart.

‘Frost Pond?’

The principles of Frost Pond that he had just performed on the fortress wall was embedded in the Green King's swordsmanship.

‘You're copying it after seeing it once?’

Whether it was the power of the black orc helmet or the woman’s own talent, it was absurd.

‘Still….’

It's still crude.

Frost Pond required adjusting the time between sword strikes according to the opponent, but the Green King was simply swinging fast.

Claaang!

Raon blocked both strands of the sword strikes with the Fangs of Insanity, then unleashed the Ten Thousand Flames Cultivation's Revolving Sky. The whirling flames spun like saw blades, pushing back the Green King, who was trying to close the gap.

“…….”

Even though she had suffered a severe impact, the Green King didn't let out a single groan and raised her sword again, as if to prove she was indeed the King of Warriors.

“If you don’t want to talk….”

Raon extended Heavenly Drive to his right. The moment the red line engraved on the blade deepened, hundreds of flower petals covered the plains.

“Die in silence, then.”

With the Flame Spirit of Ten Thousand Flames Cultivation, a storm of flames engulfed the Green King.

Claang!

Realizing that the Flame Spirit was dangerous, the Green King unleashed astral sphere equal in number to the petals to extinguish the flames.

Ching-ching-ching!

Without giving her a moment to breathe, Raon unleashed the Thirty-Six Crimson Slash, aiming for all the vital points on her body.

Boom!

The Green King realized she couldn't block all the sword paths, so she sacrificed her left waist and deflected all the sword attacks aimed at her vital points.

“As expected….”

Raon nodded slowly as he recalled the Green King's swordsmanship.

‘She’s mastering the versatile sword.’

The Green King was a practitioner of the versatile sword, just like him.

‘And on top of that….’

She’s growing during the fight.

Just like him, who was using the Ring of Fire, the Green King was growing her own strength by utilizing her opponent’s martial arts.

He didn't know about the innate disposition that Wrath had mentioned, but he understood why he had said they were similar.

Schiiing!

As if she intended to see it through to the end, the Green King charged without even stopping her bleeding wounds.

From the look in her calm eyes, it seemed she was convinced of her victory.

‘This is fun.’

Raon twisted his lips upward as he watched the Green King. He wasn’t willing to lose to anyone when it came to devouring and growing through his enemies.

Rumble!

As he activated the Ring of Fire once more, the Flame Spirit flared up again, and the faster, more powerful flames in the shape of petals engulfed the Green King.

Kuwaaaang!

The Green King, as before, unleashed as many astral spheres as there were petals to block the Flame Spirit, but it seemed she couldn’t block them all, as burns appeared across her body.

She widened her eyes in disbelief at how the Flame Spirit had grown stronger in such a short time.

“Let’s keep going.”

Raon beckoned to the Green King with his finger.

“Let’s see who devours whom.”

“He’s at it again.”

Martha shook her head as she watched Raon’s back.

"He'll come back stronger this time too. I’m sick of it. So sick of it!"

She frowned as she slashed an ogre climbing up the fortress wall.

"Today might be a little different."

Burren narrowed his eyes as he looked at the Green King.

"The Green King seems to be getting stronger as she fights too."

His eyes furrowed slightly, as if he was a bit worried.

“It’s fine.”

Unlike Martha and Burren, Runaan focused only on the battle atop the fortress wall.

“Handsome Raon will win.”

She trusted Raon completely and didn’t even bother to look down.

“Y-Yes. There’s no way he’ll lose!”

Dorian shook his clenched fist, saying that although he wasn't confident in himself, he had absolute faith in Raon.

The Light Wind swordsmen also showed their trust in Raon, devoting their full attention to their battles.

“Ha.”

Wendy let out a small laugh as she watched Raon and the Light Wind swordsmen show such complete trust in each other.

She still couldn’t believe how much those young ones had grown since they’d come back.

“What kind of training did they go through….”

“It’s all Raon’s work.”

Rimmer wiggled his finger, saying it was all Raon's work.

“The swordsmen of House Arianne could turn out like that too if they underwent the same training. Though, some might die before that.”

He giggled without taking his eyes off Raon's fight.

"Um, excuse me..."

Wendy approached Rimmer, lowering her gaze.

"Sir Rimmer, aren't you going to move?"

Rimmer hadn’t moved to assist Raon, nor had he supported the Light Wind division. She was curious about what he was thinking.

“Standing here….”

Rimmer shook his head, not taking his eyes off Raon’s back.

“Is my mission.”

* * *

“They seem evenly matched, but….”

The Two-Headed Demon lightly lowered his chin as he watched the Green King getting pushed back.

“It seems Raon Zieghart has the superior talent.”

Both Raon and the Green King possessed the talent to grow as they fought, but there seemed to be a difference in their levels.

The Green King's martial talent was rare across the entire continent, but Raon's combat talent and sense seemed unparalleled in history.

"I covet him."

If Raon wore the highest-grade helmet, he might break through the wall of Transcendence and soar immediately.

A suitable helmet had just been made, and the timing and situation were perfect.

‘It’s different from before.’

Raon had resisted the power of the helmet before, but at that time, Merlin's greed had been overly involved.

If Raon wore the helmet created by the Fallen, it would surely devour his mind.

"What do you think? Don't you want to have him too?"

The Two-Headed Demon shrugged toward the Soul Severing Sword.

“…….”

The Soul Severing Sword remained silent, ready to move at any moment as they watched the fight between Raon and the Green King.

“Alright, I’ll take that as agreement.”

The Two-Headed Demon chuckled, mumbling as if he had received permission.

‘It’ll be over soon.’

Raon and the Green King were preparing a decisive strike that could kill their opponent, without having revealed their full power yet.

It seemed like the fight would conclude within a few minutes.

'Should I step in first?'

No, there's that thing.

The Two-Headed Demon giggled as he looked at the Soul Severing Sword, whose hand was trembling.

"If it seems like it's getting dangerous, you may move."

He raised a finger and pointed toward Raon and the Green King, who were stirring up a storm of astral spheres.

"Either side, that is."

“……”

The Soul Severing Sword gripped the hilt tightly, as if he understood, and slowly moved forward.

The Two-Headed Demon giggled as he watched the Soul Severing Sword’s back.

* * *

Baaaang!

Raon narrowed his eyes as he watched the Green King bounce away, unable to completely block the attack.

‘She’s almost at her limit.’

The Green King possessed the talent to grow during combat, but his own ability with the Ring of Fire was a step above.

She was also letting out a low groan, as if she couldn't believe the situation.

Gooooo!

Realizing that the longer the fight went on, the more disadvantageous it became, the Green King gripped the Lion's Sword with both hands.

From her earrings, a gentle moonlight rose, and an overwhelming energy surged up to the point where it was hard to breathe.

‘That is...’

Raon bit his lip as he sensed the overwhelming energy gathering around the Green King.

‘Is that her hidden power?’

He had suspected she was hiding something ominous, but the combative energy was more immense than he had imagined.

If struck directly by that combative energy, the entire House Arianne could be destroyed.

‘There’s no choice but to block it head-on.’

Raon tilted Heavenly Drive downward below his waist and drew the Blade of Requiem with his left hand.

Lion’s Earth Strike, Boundless.

The Lion's Sword held by the Green King unleashed a gigantic combative energy as if it would reach the sky.

The blazing combative energy, burning like flames, poured down as if it would tear the sky and land apart.

It wasn’t just sheer power—embedded within the sword strike was the principles of versatile sword. Trying to block it clumsily would mean instant death.

‘I can’t block this as I am.’

Raon raised Heavenly Drive upward and lowered the Blade of Requiem, opening his mental world.

Sword Field Creation, Harmony of Heaven and Demon.

Amidst the solemnly burning flames and frost, Raon drew forth both a divine sword and a demonic sword.

With the two swords containing different skies, he blocked the strike that the Green King had swung down.

Kuwaaaaaang!

As techniques imbued with versatile sword collided, black cracks appeared on the ground, and shockwaves swept the surroundings as if space itself was splitting.

However, there was still a difference in their hidden powers. Raon’s divine sword and demonic sword grew stronger with each moment, eventually shattering the Green King’s sword strike entirely.

Her eyes shook violently, filled with disbelief.

“This is the end.”

As Raon was about to sever the Green King's neck with the demonic sword, a sharp tearing sound came from his left.

The Soul Severing Sword. The monster Raon had seen in Eden’s branch was charging at an unimaginable speed.

Zzzzeeeong!

But there was no need to look at the Soul Severing Sword. Rimmer, riding the wind, intercepted the blade of the Soul Severing Sword for him.

‘What I need to look at is…’

Raon swiftly turned and thrust the divine sword toward the ground that was swelling beneath him.

“Huh?”

A man in a helmet, who had burst out from the ground along with dust, widened his eyes at the sight of the divine sword.

Baaaang!

He reacted quickly and blocked the divine sword, but couldn’t hide his look of shock.

“How did you know?”

The man in the helmet let out an incredulous laugh amidst the yellow dust, as if the situation was absurd.

"Because it was obvious."

Raon slightly tilted his chin. A predator is most vulnerable when it feeds, so he had anticipated someone would ambush him when the Green King was in danger.

“No matter what you do…”

As Raon settled the dust, he saw the man's helmet and his lips quivered.

“Two-Headed Demon…?”

The demon of Eden, who had inflicted the greatest sorrow and pain on Sylvia and had killed his father and sister, was smiling slyly.

"Do you know me? Well, of course, you can't not know."

The Two-Headed Demon raised his lips in a long grin.

“I heard I was the one who killed your father and older sister….”

“That doesn’t matter. Just…”

A chilling blue cold flame flared up in Raon's red eyes.

“Die.”
