The Reincarnated Assassin is a Genius Swordsman 925

 Chapter 925

 

Fwoooosh!

Chamber narrowed her eyes as she observed the creeping demonic energy.

‘Even after moving through space, the demonic energy is still following….’

Perhaps due to the Black Spirit World, even after traveling a great distance, the demonic energy of the devildom continued to rise from the sky and the ground.

She had wanted to weaken the Black Tower’s master even slightly before the battle began, but now she had no choice but to fight under disadvantageous conditions.

‘Well, when was I ever not at a disadvantage?’

Her magic was not well-suited against the Black Tower’s master. She had always fought battles where she was at a disadvantage, so this was nothing new.

"I’ll get rid of you first and then kill that variable as well."

The Black Tower’s master traced a triangular shape with both hands, and the faintly rising demonic energy thickened, dyeing the world in darkness. The surrounding mana was pushed away, and in its place, dense and deep demonic energy filled the air. His Black Spirit World was still active in this place as well.

“No, even if I let you escape, I will definitely kill him.”

The Black Tower's master showed even deeper rage and killing intent toward Raon than toward her.

"Go ahead."

Chamber curled her finger at him.

"If you can."

As a smile bloomed on her lips, an immense blue light erupted from the staff floating in midair.

Wooooooom!

The Blue Radiance Staff did not contain any holy power, yet it repelled the demonic energy of the devildom and spread the pure mana of nature.

“I’ll see how long you can keep that disgusting smile on your face.”

The Black Tower’s master reached out, his eyes brimming with arrogance. In his grasp, a bleak and ominous demonic energy flared to life.

Fwoooosh!

Every movement of the Black Tower's master was both an incantation and a spell. The demonic energy that emerged at his gesture sharpened like a beast’s fangs, poised to devour Chamber in a single bite.

“You’re not in any position to judge my smile.”

Chamber let out a short laugh and casually brushed the back of her hand, sending a surge of mana rippling outward. The Black Tower’s master’s demonic fangs melted away in response.

“A filthy worm that’s spent its whole life crawling in the dirt dares to lecture me?”

Bringing her fingers together, she directed the blue beams of light emanating from her staff to form powerful waves, all surging toward the Black Tower’s master.

Rumble!

Each beam carried destructive power beyond high-tier magic, but none of them left a scratch on him. The blue energy beams melted away helplessly, unable to pierce through his robe.

"...Demon God’s Robe."

Chamber narrowed her eyes as she observed the Black Tower's master’s robe, which rippled like a curtain caught in the wind.

“That damn thing really is a pain in the ass.”

That robe was a legendary artifact, inscribed with the Black Tower's master's True Incantations. It absorbed all physical and magical attacks, rendering ordinary spells and martial techniques completely ineffective. The Black King Sigel’s Robe had been a lesser version of this.

“Let’s see just how long you can keep holding out.”

Chamber furrowed her brow and brought her hands together. As the blue light softly emerged, spell inscriptions appeared, engraving themselves into the air.

Woooooom!

The beams of light, which had previously been mere vessels of raw magical power, began to transform.

A fire dragon surged into the sky,
A colossal frost-forged sword descended,
A tempest wrapped in emerald light roared forth, engulfing the sky.

It was a barrage of supreme-tier spells.

‘Will this work?’

Chamber narrowed her eyes, watching the explosions bombard the Demon God’s Robe.

‘No, even if it doesn’t, stopping the attack is not an option.’

What is the most crucial factor in a battle between archmages?

Some would say mana and magical power. Others would argue that the rank of the spells mattered most. Another group might emphasize strategy and tactics.

But there was one thing that everyone agreed on.

‘Space.’

The mage who can pressure their opponent and seize control of space will ultimately win.

This was the established theory accepted by all.

Of course, Chamber believed there was something even more important than spatial dominance—
But right now, she had to restrict the space in which the Black Tower’s master could stand.

Kuwaaaaaaah!

Yet, despite her relentless barrage of supreme-tier spells, the Demon God’s Robe remained unscathed, the spells dissipating into nothingness.

“…It’s even stronger than before.”

Chamber frowned, gazing at the robe, which hadn’t even been singed or torn.

‘Before, at least there were burn marks.’

Previously, her supreme-tier spells had managed to leave behind scorch marks or even small tears in the robe, but now, it was as if her magic never even existed.

Somewhere along the way, he must have enhanced it in the meantime.

"Now, it’s my turn."

The Black Tower's master overlapped his hands diagonally, summoning black chains from within the blue glow. The chains extended in all directions, as if turning this place into a prison, devouring the space Chamber was trying to control.

"Did you forget in the excitement of your ambush?"

He looked down at Chamber, raising his chin.

“Your magic doesn’t work on me. No—I am the bane of all mages.”

He twisted his lips, as if daring her to struggle harder.

“The flame of glory shall never be extinguished, even in the depths of darkness.”

Chamber bit down on the candy in her mouth, then gracefully lifted her slender, slightly bent wrist into the air. Like hanging a lantern, she raised her hand, and a blue flame ignited in her palm.

Fwoooooosh!

The countless black chains that had been multiplying instantly crumbled into gray ash the moment they touched the flame.

For the first time, mana consumed demonic energy instead of the other way around.

‘This will work.’

The Blue Lotus Flames burned everything they touched. No matter how dense the demonic energy was, it wouldn’t withstand this fire.

"Blue Lotus Flames."

The Black Tower's master clicked his tongue as he watched his chains disintegrate before the blue fire.

"Certainly, those flames can burn even the demonic energy of devildom. However…"

As he raised his chin, the black chains, which had been crumbling away, suddenly stopped burning.

Instead, the Blue Lotus Flame itself began to weaken, its once-fierce power slowly fading.

“Did you think that just because you burned away some of my demonic energy, you had the advantage?”

The Black Tower's master spread his black-glowing fingers and chuckled.

"Because the Black Spirit World has been activated, my demonic energy will never run out."

With a casual wave of his hand, he snuffed out the Blue Lotus Flame entirely, shaking his head as if disappointed.

"Meanwhile, you’ve expended vast amounts of mana just trying to interfere the Black Spirit World."

He let out a short laugh.

“This battle was already decided from the start.”

As if the outcome was inevitable, he flicked his hand.

Before Chamber could react, black chains surged through the sky and ground, coiling around her and her staff, binding them tightly.

"……."

Chamber remained silent, focusing solely on the blue fire flickering at the tip of her staff.

“Controlling space is important in battle between mages, but… that’s not all there is to it.”

The Black Tower's master shook his chin as he looked at Chamber, bound by his chains.

“That textbook approach—that’s what led to your defeat.”

As if the fight was already over, he dusted off his hands.

The black chains constraining Chamber tightened sharply, their demonic energy intensifying.

"Hmph."

The Black Tower’s master let out a scoff, turning away—

Kuwaaaaaaaaah!

Suddenly, from within the black chains constricting her, a blue flame erupted, surging outward in every direction.

In an instant, all the chains engulfing the world melted into nothingness.

Fwoooooooosh!

Stripped of its demonic energy, fragments of scorched chains disintegrated into the air, Through the falling embers, Chamber stepped forward—

But she was no longer the same.

Her usual childlike appearance was gone.

Instead, she stood with the elegance of a fully matured woman, her long, slender fingers raised slightly.

“There’s nothing for me to learn from you, so shut your mouth.”

Her voice now carried a sultry depth, a commanding presence that hadn’t been there before, she removed her now smaller witch’s hat, tossing it aside.

As she ran her fingers through her waist-length crimson hair, her golden eyes flickered with the presence of transcendental mana.

“That form… Did you use some kind of forbidden technique?”

The Black Tower’s master trembled slightly, his lips quivering in shock at Chamber’s transformation.

“A woman’s transformation is never a crime. Don’t ask.”

Chamber casually rolled her shoulders, tilting her head with a relaxed smirk.

“Fine. No matter how you’ve changed, it doesn’t matter—I’ll just kill you anyway!”

The Black Tower’s master brought both hands together, and from the depths of black darkness, grotesque creatures began to rise.

They were neither demonic creatures nor demonized humans, yet the demonic energy surrounding them was even denser than that of either.

"As revolting as ever."

With a bestial hunger, they charged toward Chamber.

“No matter how many times I see it… it’s always disgusting.”

Chamber twisted her lips into a smirk.

“Your summoning magic, that is.”

One of the Black Tower’s master’s primary specialties was summoning,
But his method differed from conventional summoning magic.

The creatures he summoned ignored physical attacks
And possessed immense resistance to magic.

They embodied the best traits of both traditional summoning magic and spirit summoning—
An abomination of the two disciplines fused into one.

Wooooong.

The Black Tower’s master stretched out his hand, and Chamber’s mana was suddenly pulled toward him.

The particles of shimmering blue mana that surrounded her. Instantly turned pitch-black upon reaching him, assimilating into his body as demonic energy.

“Enough of these cheap tricks. Why don’t you come at me with something more intense?”

Chamber furrowed her brow, raising a barrier of mana around herself.

But even that was useless. His magic didn’t just absorb the mana in the air—It was leeching the mana from her barrier as well, transforming it into even more demonic energy.

“Cheap tricks, you say?”

The Black Tower’s master chuckled, his tone thick with mockery.

“I wonder if you’ll still be able to say that after all your flesh and blood are drained away.”

The Black Tower's master dominated the space with his summoning magic and absorbed Chamber's mana, gradually tipping the battle in his favor.

“You won’t even be able to put up a fight—”

"Ultimate Spell."

Chamber cut him off, bringing her index and middle fingers together and raising them before her eyes.

“Fracture of the Void.”

A shockwave erupted, as if a drill had punctured through space itself.

The summoned creatures vanished instantly, erased from existence. The Demon God’s Robe that shielded the Black Tower’s master, was torn apart.

"W-What is this…?"

The Black Tower’s master looked down, his hands trembling as he saw 

blood spilling from his waist. He couldn’t understand it.

His Demon God’s Robe had been torn, his flesh had been ripped apart, an impossibility had just unfolded before his eyes.

"Y-you bitch! What did you do?!"

His ruby-red eyes burned with fury as he demanded an answer.

“I told you already.”

Despite injuring him, Chamber’s focus never wavered.

She shook her head slightly, her golden eyes steady.

“Let’s make this fight… a little more intense.”

"I've overcome you. Darkness is no longer invincible."

The very nature of darkness was its ability to absorb everything. Until now, Chamber had never been able to break through the Black Tower’s master’s darkness.

But now, having strengthened both her body and mana, amplifying the power of her ultimate spell, she could shatter his darkness completely.

“Bullshit!”

The Black Tower’s master gritted his teeth, aggressively chewing at his lower lip as he erased the wound on his waist.

“Then feel it again—Ultimate Spell, Fracture of the Void!”

Chamber brought her hands together once more, casting her ultimate spell.

And in an instant—

CRACK!

The darkness shrouding the Black Tower’s master was torn apart, along with the very space around it.

BOOOOOM!

The Black Tower’s master concentrated his demonic energy in a desperate attempt to keep the collapsing space intact, but it seemed Chamber’s spell had already surpassed his level, it simply erased that section of reality itself.

SLASH!

Amidst the blinding exchange of mana, Chamber emerged victorious. The spatial slash she had unleashed pierced straight through the Black Tower's master’s chest.

"Khugh!"

Coughing up blood, he hunched over, his entire body trembling from a pain he hadn’t felt in decades.

A sensation so raw, so real—
It was the unmistakable proof that he could actually die here.

Yet, Chamber’s assault was far from over.

Her golden eyes remained locked onto him,
Her mana still surging as she prepared to finish this once and for all.

"Ultimate Spell—Demonic Domain."

To counter her, the Black Tower's master activated his own ultimate spell. The Demonic Domain was a spell that deeply compressed demonic energy to erase everything in front of him. But now, he had no choice but to use it defensively against the Fracture of the Void.

Rumble!

As the ultimate spells of two Transcenders clashed, violet sparks spread across the sky, it was as if a thunder dragon had descended,
hurling lightning bolts toward the earth in fury.

“Bitch, you seriously intend to die here?!”

The Black Tower’s master ground his teeth as he watched Chamber unleash attack after attack, refusing to stop.

“Why would I die?”

Chamber let out a mocking laugh, bringing her hands together once more.

“You’re the only one dying here.”

She curled her lips into a smirk and unleashed another the Fracture of the Void.

"You damned bitch!"

The Black Tower's master roared in rage, summoning the Demonic Domain once more. A black darkness spread like a heavy blanket, forming a defensive wall around him.

Kuwaaaaaaah!

But the very next moment, the darkness was torn apart once again.

Even as fresh waves of demonic energy surged forward,

Chamber’s magic was devouring every last trace of it—Like a hunger that could never be satisfied.

A battle between magic that severed everything and magic that absorbed everything.

One single mistake would mean instant death. It was a clash of absolute forces, neither willing to yield an inch.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Their ultimate spells continued to clash, yet neither of them moved an inch. To an outside observer, it looked as if nothing was happening. Yet, between them, an unimaginably terrifying battle was raging.

Drip.

A drop of blood fell from Chamber’s nose, while bluish veins surfaced on the Black Tower's master's pale skin. The immense strain of sustaining their ultimate spell pushed both of them to their limits.

Yet, Chamber continued unleashing the Fracture of the Void despite spitting up blood, and the Black Tower's master had no choice but to maintain the Demonic Domain to defend himself.

As their ultimate spells collided, The very fabric of space began to crack and collapse. And soon, a storm of violet energy swallowed the entire sky.

*   *   *

Rumble!

The Black Tower’s master clenched his teeth as he struggled to withstand the relentless barrage of Chamber’s Fracture of the Void.

She’s insane—no one sane would do this!

An ultimate spell—by definition—was a spell so powerful that even its caster suffered immense strain just from using it once.

And yet, Chamber was unleashing it over and over, as if it were a basic spell.

It was clear, she wasn’t just trying to win.

She was ready to die, as long as she took him down with her.

‘The problem is…’

Even knowing this, he had no other way to counter her.

The Fracture of the Void had torn through the Demon God’s Robe and was now damaging his body and soul. If he took another hit, he wouldn’t be able to stand. Which meant he had no choice but to keep using his own ultimate spell. Defending against every single attack she unleashed.

‘At this rate, we’ll both perish.’

Tactically, he had the advantage, his darkness had always been the natural counter to magic.

But this fight wasn’t proceeding like a normal battle. At this rate, neither of them would win.

Neither of them would lose. They would simply both be annihilated.

‘Damn it all…’

There was one more thing he had prepared aside from the Black Spirit World.

But in this situation, he couldn’t use it.

He had to end this fight right here.

‘A way… I need a way… Ah!’

As he continuously used the Demonic Domain, his gaze caught something behind Chamber, a black fragment. It was the remnant of the creature he had summoned earlier.

‘That thing…’

A chance to escape this situation had presented itself. A plan formed in his mind instantly.

Instead of keeping all his demonic energy focused on defense, the Black Tower’s master redirected a portion of it, and poured it into the remnants of his summons.

Woooooom!

Fueled by the infusion of demonic energy, the remaining summoned creatures let out cries of ecstasy, their bodies rapidly expanding as they regained their strength.

“Kill her completely!”

At his command, the creatures lunged at Chamber, tearing into her flesh and shattering her bones. Though small, they were made of pure demonic energy and could easily chew through human flesh.

"Ultimate Spell—Fracture of the Void."

Yet, even as her flesh was ripped away and her bones crumbled, Chamber never unclasped her two fingers.

Boom!

Her ultimate spell shattered the Demonic Domain. In the end, it was not Chamber but he who lost focus first.

"W-What…?"

The Black Tower’s master trembled, his mouth slightly agape.

Wounds inflicted by demonic energy were far more agonizing than ordinary wounds.

Yet she endured that searing pain, and still unleashed her ultimate spell. This was beyond human focus.

"Arghhh!"

The Black Tower’s master, trembling, ordered his summoned creatures to finish Chamber off. At the same time, he unleashed the Demonic Domain.

"Ultimate Spell."

Despite bleeding from every inch of her body, Chamber didn’t lose focus.

"Fracture of the Void."

His Demonic Domain collapsed, and his shoulder was crushed.

"W-Wait—"

"Ultimate Spell—Fracture of the Void."

This time, he couldn’t even cast his Demonic Domain. Her ultimate spell ripped through the Demon God’s Robe, and pierced straight through his chest.

“Gahh…!”

The Black Tower’s master coughed up blood, his knees hitting the ground. Not only physical pain, but a mental shock struck him as well, as if his mind was about to black out.

"Ultimate Spell."

Even though he had fallen, Chamber did not stop chanting. Her fingers, gnawed to the bone by the summoned creatures, lifted once more. She completed her final spell.

"Fracture of the Void."

“Damn… it…”

With the Black Tower’s master’s weakened groan, the last remnants of his demonic energy exploded outward.

Paaaaaaang!
