The Reincarnated Assassin is a Genius Swordsman 841

 Chapter 841

 

Raon narrowed his eyes as he looked at Vardiel, who had spread his pure white wings.

‘He’s definitely stronger.’

As Wrath had said, when Vardiel revealed his wings, the energy wave he emitted rapidly intensified.

As he felt from the beginning, it was an even greater energy than that of the Second Apostle.

‘But on the other hand…’

Raon glanced over the ceiling and walls of the barrier, clicking his tongue.

‘The barrier has weakened.’

As Vardiel grew stronger, the power maintaining the barrier itself weakened. It seemed he had withdrawn the energy that had been used to form the barrier.

But….

Wrath shook his head gravely.

If we don’t cut down that wretched celestial scum, we won’t be able to leave this barrier.

He clenched his fist, declaring that defeating Vardiel had to come first, even if the barrier had weakened.

‘That’s true.’

It was impossible to destroy the barrier while Vardiel’s cold eyes remained wide open. First, he had to cut off that celestial bastard’s head.

‘And I must do it while conserving as much strength as possible, as quickly as I can.’

If things went as expected, Raon would immediately face Sif the moment he exited this barrier.

To fight that degenerate, he needed to conserve as much stamina and aura as possible.

‘In other words, I need to rely on my swordsmanship as much as possible.’

Suppressing the unease rising in his mind, Raon took a step forward with the Supreme Harmony Steps.

Moving as if he had become the wind, he gracefully advanced and closed in on Vardiel’s left side.

 Chiririring!

Before Vardiel could react, he swung down the divine sword and the demonic sword, imbued with the principle of extreme swiftness. Hwaaaak!

Flames and frost slashes were fired first, and right behind them, the divine sword and demonic sword followed like shadows.

It was a dual Frost Pond executed with an extremely short time difference.

Wooooowung!

Vardiel brought his hands together as if in prayer to block the Frost Pond, which was surging toward his neck and heart.

From the tips of his fingers, white light radiated, forming a shield etched with strange symbols.

Cheooooong!

The four Frost Pond slashes failed to pierce the light shield created by Vardiel and were violently deflected, striking the ground.

“Your sword cannot reach me.”

When Vardiel snapped his fingers, the shield, with the strange symbols, split into six. Circling around him, they formed a wall of light.

It seemed impossible to penetrate, no matter where the attack came from.

“Die where you stand.”

With an icy gaze, Vardiel extended his hand. White clouds bloomed, and hailstones of light began to pour down.

Tuuuuung!

Raon twisted his ankle sharply. Using the Supreme Harmony Second Step, he extended his left foot and escaped the area where the light hailstorm rained down.

The metallic sound of hail crashing onto the ground echoed behind him.

“Running is useless.”

Vardiel, as if controlling the space itself, shifted the direction of the clouds to continuously rain the light hailstorm on wherever Raon dodged.

Hiding behind a shield and relying on ranged attacks, huh?

Wrath sneered, saying it was disgraceful behavior befitting the celestial.

‘He doesn’t seem like a warrior.’

Raon narrowed his eyes and kicked off the ground.

Closing the gap he had widened earlier, he charged toward Vardiel’s shield at double the speed and thrust the divine and demonic swords.

Kwadeudeuk!

He aimed for the gaps between the shields, but Vardiel increased their rotational speed, deflecting both swords.

Now, there were no visible gaps at all.

“Is charging forward like a mindless monkey all you’re capable of?”

Vardiel scoffed, raising his hand. The hailstorm of light expanded to cover an even wider area, leaving less and less space to evade.

‘Even if I analyze the shield’s movement, it’s useless.’

No matter how fast he thrust his sword, it was impossible to slip past the rotating shields and cut Vardiel.

Even if you used space sword, he would just pull the shield inward to block it. You’ll have to destroy it.

Wrath shook his head, saying the only way to drag out that coward was to smash the shield of light.

It’ll cost a lot of aura, but there’s no other way. Use all your strength to break it down.

Since Wrath couldn’t assist with his power as he usually did, he offered advice instead. It felt almost encouraging, like having a friend cheer from the sidelines.

‘Thanks.’

 Th-That kind of talk isn’t necessary! Focus on the fight!

Wrath, flustered, scolded him, urging him to hurry up and destroy the shield.

‘I don’t need to destroy it.’

What?

‘If he won’t come out from the shield, I just need to cut him from the inside.’

Raon aimed the divine sword at Vardiel.

“Space sword? I’ve already seen it.”

Vardiel infused his shield with even stronger light, declaring it would no longer work.

“Yes, it’s space sword.”

Raon nodded, calmly acknowledging it.

“But it’ll be a little different from what you’ve seen.”

Rotating his shoulder, Raon brought down the divine sword, imbued the principle of space sword into it.

The flames, thickly staining the air, tore through space and surged from within Vardiel's shield.

Chwaaaaaak!

The flames, writhing like a serpent’s tongue, engraved a crimson scar across Vardiel’s chest before he could react.

Puhwaaaak!

Vardiel’s eyes widened as he looked at the blood spilling from his chest. He trembled in disbelief.

“…It wasn’t this fast before.”

He trembled, unable to believe it, his chin quivering as blood splattered.

That bastard is right!

Even Wrath exhaled in astonishment.

Why has the speed increased so much?

‘I had a realization.’

Before Vardiel revealed his wings, when he struck him down with Void Severance, he was able to gain a deeper understanding of the principle of space sword.

‘It was just as my aunt said.’

Aris had told him that the growth of the space sword was like climbing steps. Even if it seemed stagnant, persistent effort would eventually bear fruit.

She was right. Thanks to the realization he gained while cutting Vardiel, the distance and speed at which he pierced through space with his sword had advanced to a level incomparable to before.

Although not as much as Aris, it seemed he had caught up to just below her level.

“Krgh!”

Vardiel raised both hands. The white clouds swelled to more than twice their size, unleashing an uncountable number of hailstones of light.

It seemed like he was trying to prevent any opportunity to use the space sword by attacking relentlessly.

“Running away, are we?”

Raon smirked, raising the demonic sword.

Wooooong!

He extended the blade like a blue silk ribbon, wrapping it around the hailstorm of light.

Ten Thousand Flames Cultivation – Golden Void Infusion.

A technique originally created to subdue cold energy, seemed to adapt to the current situation and even erased the celestial’s light.

“It’s not over yet!”

As if everything so far had been a mere joke, Vardiel created an even greater number of hailstones.

It seemed he was trying to buy time to heal his wounds.

“As expected, you’re no warrior.”

Raon let out a snort. If he were a true warrior, he wouldn’t be running away now but would have charged in. Vardiel retreated without hesitation.

From the moment he used the barrier, Raon had felt it—this opponent wasn’t a warrior.

"So what are you going to do about it!"

As Vardiel furrowed his brow and raised his hand, the round hailstones of light transformed into the shapes of swords and spears.

They emitted such a savage energy that simply touching them seemed like it would tear flesh and rip out bones.

“Running away suits you.”

Raon stepped with the Supreme Harmony Third Steps within the hail of light pouring down like starlight. The Supreme Harmony Third Steps is the softest and most flowing footwork among the Supreme Harmony Steps.

Like trying to cut water with swords or spears, the weapons of light couldn’t even brush Raon’s clothes before embedding into the ground.

“How is this…?”

Vardiel let out a hoarse groan, unable to believe what he was seeing.

“Your movements are crude.”

Raon slashed the divine sword and swung the demonic sword within the ripples of the hailstorm.

The blazing red blade exhaled the breath of a fire dragon, while the demonic sword cloaked in blue frost scattered like a dream.

Chiiiiing!

The Flame Dragon Art and the Sword’s Silvery Dream, the two incompatible sword techniques harmonized through the principle of space sword and emerged from inside Vardiel's shield. 

Kuwaaaaaang!

An immense explosion burst inside Vardiel’s shield, scattering crimson flames and silver frost shards everywhere.

The impact was so massive that the entire barrier trembled. The flames and frost engulfing Vardiel seemed endless, refusing to be extinguished.

“I expected this.”

As Raon slightly lowered the divine and demonic swords, Vardiel’s voice emerged from within the flames and frost.

Wooooooo!

A brilliant light burst forth, peeling away the layers of flames and frost, and Vardiel revealed himself.

Inside the light shields that had been swirling around him, a new, charred black shield was visible.

"That space sword doesn't work anymore."

It seemed Vardiel had created another shield inside the light shield to block the Flame Dragon Art and the Sword’s Silvery Dream.

“I will show you an end befitting your kind.”

Deciding there was no need to retreat anymore, Vardiel stood his ground and filled the entire barrier with clouds.

The clouds slowly descended, and massive spheres of light emerged.

Since he couldn’t land a direct hit, he seemed intent on just detonating them all to kill his opponent.

“Die, all of you.”

Convinced that his attack and defense were perfect, Vardiel stood in place and hurled the massive spheres of light downward.

The intent to kill not just Raon but the entire Light Wind division was clear.

“Exactly as I expected you to act.”

Raon filled his entire body with the fire of Ten Thousand Flames Cultivation and the frost of Glacier, stepping forward with his right foot.

Using the Supreme Harmony Second Step, he pierced through the light with the extremely swift footwork and positioned the divine sword and demon sword in front of Vardiel.

Chwaaaaaak!

To avoid being blocked by Vardiel's trick, Raon maximized the principle of the space sword, unleashing attacks of flame and frost within the second shield.

"Didn’t I say I expected it?"

Vardiel smirked as if he had everything under control, moving the second shield inward to block the space sword.

“Your sword no longer works on me.”

“Are you sure about that?”

Raon’s lips curled upward as he twisted the blades of the divine sword and demonic sword.

Wooooong!

The slashes tore through space, colliding with Vardiel’s second shield.

However, instead of dissipating, the slashes pushed against the shield, spewing intense flames and frost.

Chiiiiik!

The Raging Sea, a martial technique of the Beast King Ogram, which ignored the enemy’s defense, penetrated Vardiel’s shield and deeply gouged into his chest.

Puhwaaaak!

A thunderous crash, like a massive tree falling, echoed as Vardiel’s chest exploded violently.

“Gaaaaahh!”

Vardiel let out a scream mixed with blood as he staggered backward.

“T-this can’t be….”

Even amidst the excruciating pain, his trembling eyes showed disbelief.

“I meant to kill you outright, but it seems the celestial’s body is sturdier than expected.”

Raon clicked his tongue briefly.

“Well, it doesn't matter. I’ll just kill you now.”

Raising even more intense flames and frost, he advanced toward Vardiel.

Goooooo!

With the divine and demonic swords soaked in blood, and his black dragon coat fluttering, Raon appeared as both the grim reaper and an absolute demon to Vardiel.

“Ugh….”

Vardiel coughed up blood and stumbled backward, but he didn’t get far before his back hit the wall of the barrier.

“D-don’t come closer!”

He screamed in terror, then disappeared into the barrier’s wall.

“Did he run away?”

Raon narrowed his eyes as he stared at the spot where Vardiel had vanished.

Indeed! That’s the true nature of the celestial!

Wrath ground his teeth, saying the celestial always flees rather than fighting to the end.

“Haah, is it over?”

Martha lowered her sword and let out a deep sigh.

“Seeing that those humans of light have stopped, I guess the situation’s settled for now.”

Burren straightened his back and nodded.

“Yeah, the puppets are disappearing….”

Runaan lowered her gaze slightly as she watched the humans of light slowly fade.

“Damn it….”

Krein bit his lip and stomped the ground harshly.

“Dorian’s not here! That idiot….”

His trembling hand gripped his sword tightly as he expressed his frustration.

“It’s fine….”

Runaan shook her head, looking at Krein.

“The vice division leader will save him.”

She clutched her Snow Flower Sword tightly, saying she was sure Dorian and Rimmer were together.

‘Vice division leader….’

Raon bit his lip as he looked back. He hadn’t noticed at first, but when the humans of light appeared, he realized Dorian and Rimmer were missing.

Although he believed Rimmer would protect Dorian and Aris, the fact that they were dealing with a Transcender made his chest ache with worry.

“We’re heading out immediately. There could still be an ambush, so be on guard.”

Raon gave orders to the Light Wind swordsmen and approached the barrier wall where Vardiel had escaped.

Hoo.

After taking a deep breath, he slashed at the barrier wall with Crimson Slash.

Cheooooooong!

Perhaps because Vardiel had disappeared, the barrier split open with little effort, creating a dimensional rift leading outside.

“Let’s go.”

Raon activated the Perception of the Snow Flower and stepped into the darkened dimension.

When he closed and reopened his eyes, Vardiel’s pale, terrified face came into view.

“Grrrk!”

Vardiel stared at him with eyes filled with resentment and fear.

“I didn’t expect you to break through Vardiel so quickly. As expected of Raon Zieghart.”

A voice came from behind him—it was Sif.

“But you’re a little too late.”

Ignoring Siff’s mocking tone, Raon turned around. He intended to rush him immediately, but when he saw the scene before his eyes, his legs wouldn’t move.

“A-ah….”

Sif, with a sinister smile, had pierced Rimmer's left chest with his black sword.

“It’s all over.”
