The Reincarnated Assassin is a Genius Swordsman 1127

 Chapter 1127

 

“Ra- Raon….”

Rector raised his bloodied left arm and gestured toward Raon. His eyes held the joy of a miraculous reunion and a sharp worry at the same time.

“Sir Raon?”

“Yes, how are you here…?”

Mustan and Lawrence, who hadn’t imagined Raon’s appearance at all, also stood with blood dripping from their mouths, their jaws agape.

“Thanks to some good friends.”

Raon closed his eyes for a moment, thinking of Evelyn, who had teleported him with a single letter, and the swallow that had guided him here, then opened them again.

“From now on I will fight, so the three of you rest.”

After telling Rector, Mustan, and Lawrence to stand back, he turned his head toward Ramiel.

Chjjjjjjjt!

When the archangel Ramiel attached the severed head to his bleeding neck, blue lightning flashed and his wound began to vanish. It was the regeneration typical of the celestials using divine power.

‘As I thought…’

Raon narrowed his eyes watching Ramiel reattach the fallen head and regenerate.

‘Cutting off the neck isn’t enough to kill him.’

To save Rector, I had swung flames at high speed to sever Ramiel’s neck and even detonated the cut, but the bastard restored his form as if nothing had happened. In that instant, I realized the being I was facing was no human.

“So it’s you.”

Ramiel slowly turned his head and twisted the corner of his mouth into a sneer.

“One of the humans that fellow warned me to be careful of, Raon Zieghart.”

He nodded fiercely, as if he could recognize Raon at a glance.

“Though I don’t feel the kind of power that would merit a warning. That old man is better. Of course that human ended up like that in the end as well.”

Ramiel lowered a finger and pointed at the fallen Rector. He let out a childish sneer, saying the writhing of insects was entertaining to watch.

“Come. I’ll scorch that body entirely.”

Ramiel stamped his foot, and yellow lightning rose from the cracked earth and spread outward.

Kugugugugu!

Each strand of the lightning was at the realm of a warrior who had reached Transcendence. Merely touching the bolts seemed like it would melt bone and flesh.

That ugly face….

Wrath scanned Ramiel and wrinkled his nose.

So he really is the brat Ramiel who thinks he’s better than everyone else!

He ground his teeth as if anger rose just from looking at Ramiel’s face.

Paaaang!

Raon cut the lightning approaching Rector, Lawrence, and Mustan with Heavenly Drive, then glanced back.

‘Is grandfather all right?’

I had poured every drop of the Divinity Blooming from the Underworld into healing, yet it wasn’t enough.

So much divine power had been embedded in his body that even after using all the Divinity Blooming from the Underworld, I couldn’t erase all his wounds. And he’d lost his right arm, a swordsman’s very life, so the worry stung at my fingertips.

No need to worry.

Wrath shook his head calmly after checking Rector’s condition.

Your healing ability is special, it has its own effect even on divine power and demonic energy. Someone like your grandpa will get up on his own.

He gestured for Raon to focus on the Ramiel standing before them rather than on Rector. Hearing the Demon King speak with conviction eased Raon’s worry a little.

‘Understood. I’ll focus on that damn archangel.’

Raon nodded, gripping Heavenly Drive.

‘It’ll be hard to win, but I need to hold on as long as I can.’

The energy wave pouring from Ramiel’s lightning felt even greater than Rector’s. I wasn’t yet at the level of the Five Kings and Three Demons’ heads, and I couldn’t help but wonder how long I could stand against that monster.

Don't hold out, shatter his heart.

Wrath frowned, telling him not to lose before even fighting.

That bastard. He looks fine, but he's not.

‘What do you mean?’

Raon only turned his eyes toward Wrath.

Partly because you cut his neck, but your grandpa nearly broke that damn thing’s heart.

Wrath narrowed his eyes to slits, saying Rector had fallen by the narrowest margin while Ramiel survived.

He is right now regenerating his burst-out heart, so he cannot use his full power. In other words….

He raised his hand and pointed at Ramiel’s chest, where flesh was filling back in.

Right now Ramiel can’t exert his full power!

Wrath swung his fist hard, saying they must not miss this moment.

‘So he was pretending then?’

Raon naturally looked at Ramiel, who was wrapped in lightning, and bit his lip.

‘To recover his wounds and power?’

Ramiel had shot murderous intent as if to trample and kill everyone, then hadn’t moved from that spot. I had thought he was acting confident, but listening to Wrath, it seemed Ramiel was buying time to recover from the wound grandfather had inflicted.

That’s right.

Wrath twisted the corner of his mouth as he looked at Ramiel.

He forced his power to summon those lightning, inside he’s surely praying you not to charge in! It’s obvious to me.

He clicked his tongue, saying Ramiel’s thoughts were obvious.

If Ramiel were ready to die, things would be very different, but for now it’s important to press him to that point.

Wrath jutted his chin, saying he must fight right now.

‘Understood.’

Raon drew a breath and raised the Ten Thousand Flames Cultivation and Glacier to their extremes. Vowing to avenge Rector even if he died here, he stomped his foot.

The King of Essence said it, didn’t he?

Wrath clapped loudly while looking at Rector.

Your grandpas are strong!

He spread his hands, telling Raon not to waste the chance Rector had created.

‘Grandfather.’

Raon looked back. Rector, exhausted by pain and blood, should have collapsed a long time ago, but somehow he had stayed conscious and was watching over him. His wavering eyes conveyed both worry and pride.

“Please wait a little.”

Without turning his back fully on Rector, Raon drew the Wooden Ring Sword and planted it into the ground together with Heavenly Drive.

“Sword Field Creation.”

Pressing the two swords into the land melted by lightning, he pressed them down and opened his even firmer mental world. The will built up with the sword connected with reality, and red and blue pillars, as if connecting sky and earth, shot up.

“Divine and Demonic Harmony.”

The lightning Ramiel had summoned burned in raging flames and froze before a cold frost.

Kugugugugu!

Above the dark, cloudy sky, a golden sun and a blue moon rose, summoning two swords.

Tearrk!

Raon gripped the divine sword and demonic sword, forged from the sun and moon, in his two hands and bent his left knee forward. The earth vibrated, and countless stone fragments floated into the air.

“Hmm!”

Feeling Raon’s energy wave surge, Ramiel hastily raised a wall of lightning and stepped back.

Taaang!

Raon used the Supreme Harmony Steps to move behind Ramiel and thrust the golden-flaming divine sword toward his chest. It was not a full-power strike but a probing attack to gauge the opponent’s strength.

Pajjjjjjt!

Ramiel, staring directly at the divine sword and thrust out a lightning-wreathed fist. The air compressed and then seemed to twist and explode under the fast, immense force.

Jjeooooooong!

The divine sword and Ramiel’s strike collided head-on, flames and lightning scattering in all directions.

Chjjjjjjjt!

Raon swung the demonic sword, which he had kept pointed down, upward, aiming for Ramiel's neck along with the lightning.

“Hmph!”

Ramiel slammed his left elbow, flickering with lightning, down onto the demonic sword. Due to the immense repulsive force, the demonic sword's trajectory bent to the right.

“Is that all?”

Now it seemed Ramiel intended to attack. The hand blazing with lightning carried a murderous intent as if he would tear Raon’s arm off.

Zsheeeeng!

Raon struck away Ramiel’s lightning-laced hand as it dove in like lightning and nodded calmly.

‘You were right.’

This one isn’t an archangel-level now.

As Wrath said, Ramiel’s current strength wasn’t that far off from mine. I had to finish him before he recovered.

‘Also…’

If what that bastard uses is lightning, it's even more advantageous for me.

Kuuuuuuung!

Raon drew up his aura to its peak and charged forward. He pierced through space itself, aiming straight for Ramiel’s back.

“You bastard!”

Ramiel read his trajectory and thrust out a lightning-wreathed fist. It wasn't a simple punch, but held the flow of a proper martial art.

‘It's clearly a high-level movement, but I can see it all.’

Raon twisted the wrist holding the divine sword. The crimson blade flowed like a snake’s tail, cutting through the lightning and plunging into Ramiel’s chest. It was a harmony born from the insight gained through the Ring of Fire and his matured mastery.

Kwadeudeudeuk!

Raon could clearly feel the divine sword breaking through Ramiel’s skin and bones, piercing deep into his chest.

“Ghhkkk!”

Ramiel bent over, vomiting blood. He blasted lightning from inside his body, forcing out the divine sword that was trying to burn his heart. The recoil was so great that even his body staggered backward.

Sssshhh!

Raon stepped back with the divine sword and looked at the wound he had made on Ramiel. From the charred wound where the flesh had been burned away, black blood, long dead, was dripping down.

‘That’s the wound grandfather inflicted.’

Just as Wrath had said, Ramiel still hadn’t fully healed from grandfather’s attack. I had to keep pressing on.

Paaang!

Raon stepped forward using the Supreme Harmony Steps, imbued with the principle of flexible sword. Moving like ripples across a calm lake, he brought down both the divine and demonic swords onto Ramiel’s waist and shoulder at once.

“Where do you think—!”

Ramiel raised lightning across the back of his hand to block both blades at once.

Chiiiaaang!

Seeing Ramiel’s hands move even faster than his own, Raon instead slowed the swing of his swords with the principle of the slow sword.

“Huh…?”

At the moment Ramiel’s lightning missed his swords and struck empty air, Raon switched the slow sword to swift sword and drove the divine and demonic swords into his thigh and chest.

Pereeeeok!

The flow between the Frost Pond and the Revolving sky flowed like silk, leaving long slashes across Ramiel’s thigh and chest, and dark red blood spurted.

“You insect dare—!”

Ramiel’s eyes rolled in fury from the pain of his burning and freezing flesh, and he unleashed a surge of powerful lightning from his fingertips.

Thoom!

Raon didn’t rush, he stepped back and let Ramiel’s lightning slide past.

Pajjjjjjjjt!

But the lightning Ramiel unleashed followed him like it had eyes and blocked even spaces to flee.

“Die!”

Ramiel infused his lightning with immense divine power, as if determined to kill his opponent with this attack. White energy clung to the bolt, generating a crushing pressure like the iron bars of a prison.

‘This one’s definitely different.’

Though Ramiel’s physical body had weakened, the lightning he called forth still boasted tremendous power. It seemed better to engage in close combat and stick to him.

Kwaaaaaaa!

Raon raised the divine sword upward and the demonic sword downward, unleashing the Flawless Sea of Fire. The two blades, wreathed in flame and frost, easily cut down the lightning surging from all sides, as if reading its flow.

Chwaaaaaak!

Not satisfied with simply blocking Ramiel’s offense, he stepped forward with the Supreme Harmony Steps and carved deep scars on Ramiel’s arms and legs with the divine and demonic swords.

Peoeoeoeoeok!

Chunks of burned and frozen flesh fell from Ramiel’s limbs as blood gushed out like a fountain.

“You fly-sized wretch!”

He screamed in rage and struck down with nine whips made of lightning. Each whip was larger than a building, leaving no visible space to dodge.

Chiiiaaang!

Raon unleashed the Thirty-Six Crimson Slash with the divine sword and raised the Firewall with the demonic sword, attacking and defending at once.

Kwoooom!

The giant shield made of frost deflected the lightning whips to the ground, while thirty-six fiery thrusts struck Ramiel’s entire body.

Bam-bam-bam-bam-bam!

Ramiel raised a wall of lightning, but the thirty-six crimson slashes curved like a drawn bow, mercilessly tearing apart his skin and bones.

“Kyaaaargh!”

He could not withstand the pain and sank to his knees on the ground he had destroyed.

“An archangel, kneeling before a human…”

Raon looked down on him, lifting his chin slightly.

“Isn’t that a disgrace to the celestials? Derus will probably cast you out.”

He mocked him, waving his hand dismissively to provoke him.

“You worm!”

Ramiel gasped, his breath reeking of blood, and clenched his fist.

“I’ll kill you without leaving a trace!”

When he stomped the ground and raised his hand toward the sky, a colossal lightning bolt tore through the dark clouds. It was vast enough to cover and obliterate everything around them.

‘That one looks dangerous.’

Raon stepped forward with all his might, thrusting out the Ten Thousand Flames Cultivation’s Single Crimson Point.

Pereeeeeok!

A red dot pierced the air, and Ramiel’s right arm that was calling the lightning exploded. But the lightning he had summoned did not disappear, instead it glowed even more intensely.

“St-Stupid bastard! The lightning I summoned never disappears.”

Ramiel twisted his mouth, saying that even if his arm or head were severed the lightning would not vanish. With his sneer, the lightning covering the sky fell toward Raon.

“Then I just have to cut it.”

Raon raised the divine and demonic swords toward the falling lightning. The two blades merged as one, tracing a red and blue arc through the air.

Azure Sky Sword – Azure Sky’s Grand Elegance.

Heavenly Lightning Cultivation – Supreme Lightning Resonance.

The divine sword tore open the crimson sky, while the demonic sword summoned blue lightning.

Kuwaaaaaa!

The ultimate technique of the Heavenly Lightning of the Azure Sky, which contained the true lightning of the sky, split the enormous lightning summoned by Ramiel in half.

“W-what is this…?”

Ramiel trembled, his jaw shaking as he watched his lightning split apart like paper and vanish into nothingness.

“This is impossible! With your power you can’t cut that lightning!”

He screamed like a child throwing a tantrum at the impossible.

‘Now.’

Raon felt the lightning circulating inside Ramiel’s body weaken as his emotions spiked, and he stepped forward with the Supreme Harmony Steps.

“What trick are you—kuh!”

Before Ramiel could finish grinding his teeth and stomp, Raon slipped in silently and drove both the divine and demonic swords into his chest.

“Ghhkk! You…!”

Ramiel enveloped his hands in lightning, trying to stop the blades from moving any further.

“I learned it from the true master of lightning.”

Raon thought of Glenn, the king of lightning far stronger than Ramiel, and shook his head.

“I won’t lose to a fake.”

He bent his knees, leaned forward, and detonated the aura within the divine and demonic swords.

Raon Zieghart Style Swordplay.

Sixth Form – Divine and Demonic Harmony, Red and Blue Invincible 

Sword.

The two lights that bloomed from the divine and demonic swords merged into one, bursting through Ramiel’s chest completely.

Kuwaaaaaang!
