The Reincarnated Assassin is a Genius Swordsman 1371

 Chapter 1371

 

Puuuuuuung!

Monsters exploded before the fists of Beast King Ogram. He was infusing his punches with a new principle called shattering, literally pulverizing the enemies before him.

Boom!

The warriors of the Beast Union seemed to be swept up in Ogram's fighting spirit, wrapping their fists in an equally fierce determination as they smashed the monsters apart.

“Form ranks!”

At the command of Milland, castellan of Habun Castle, the cavalry of the North Wall, which had been heading south while crushing the monsters in their path, tightened their grips on the reins and formed their battle line.

“Habun Castle, charge!”

As Milland charged forward, firing brilliantly shining energy waves, the North Wall cavalry launched a fearsome advance behind him. Faced with the charge of these battle-hardened warriors who knew no fear, the wall of monsters split apart, opening another wide path.

“T-Those damn bastards!”

An Eden’s demon wearing a ghoul mask retreated while vomiting blood in the holy ground created by holy power. To escape the holy power pursuing him, he turned the ground into a swamp.

“Killing my children is something I will never forgive! I swear...”

It was just as Eden's demon wearing the ghoul mask entered the swamp, vowing revenge.

Fwooooooosh!

A fist glittering with golden holy power came crashing down over the swamp he had created to escape.

Puuuuuuung!

As the fist imbued with holy power slammed down, the swamp created by sorcery exploded, and the ghoul mask hiding inside was sent flying out.

“T-That’s impossible….”

Eden's demon wearing the ghoul mask was horrified by the tremendous holy power that defied all common sense. Even while vomiting blood, he raised his eyes.

“It is possible.”

Olga, the Saintess of Schper, let out a mocking laugh and threw another punch.

Puuuuuuuck!

The ghoul mask could not withstand her holy punch. Its entire body was shattered along with the mask and sank into the swamp. The revenge he had spoken of would never be fulfilled.

“I would very much like to become close friends with that lady.”

The Thespian Emperor, founder of the Five Divine Orders and master of the White Whale, gazed at Olga with a gentle smile.

“The Beast King has grown even stronger, and Habun Castle’s charge is far more powerful than expected.”

The Thespian Emperor was merely walking around while surveying her surroundings, yet the monsters had their heads blown apart and died before they could even approach her. Even without properly revealing her true might, she radiated an imposing presence that overwhelmed everything around her.

“Hey!”

The Queen of Swords Brigit frowned as she called out to the Thespian Emperor.

"Stop showing off and fight properly!"

She gritted her teeth, telling her to fight at full strength and end the war quickly.

“Then it wouldn’t be fun.”

The Thespian Emperor calmly shook her head.

“The real war hasn’t even begun yet.”

She slowly looked up at the sky as she said that this was nothing more than practice before the war.

“You should conserve your strength as well.”

The Thespian Emperor told the Queen of Swords not to fight at full strength as she calmly lowered her hand.

“Hmm….”

The Queen of Swords Brigit also seemed to understand what the Thespian Emperor meant and lightly bit her lip.

“Come to think of it, sister isn't planning to come out either.”

She too seemed to believe that the time had not yet come, so she slightly relaxed the hand gripping her sword. Even in that state, however, slaughtering monsters and Eden’s demons posed no difficulty whatsoever.

*   *   *

As the forces that had become the wings of the Five Kings Alliance entered the battlefield, the tide of battle shifted toward the Five Kings Alliance once again.

No matter how strong Eden was or how numerous the monsters were, the human forces standing on this side were all renowned throughout the continent, so there was simply no way they could be defeated.

“This….”

The Black Form Snake raised a hand to his forehead and calmly surveyed the battlefield.

“We’re screwed, aren’t we?”

He narrowed his eyes as he looked over the Eden forces being pushed back from all sides.

“That’s why I said we should fight here.”

The Black Form Snake clicked his tongue, disappointed that the Heavenly Demon had left with Glenn.

"Of course, there are guys on our side who are holding back, but..."

He lowered his chin as he looked at Eden’s highest-ranking demons, who were waiting for the right moment without revealing their full strength, and the surviving members of the Five Demons whom they had painstakingly gathered.

“But they've got even more.”

The Black Form Snake clicked his tongue as he looked at Chamber, who was maintaining the dimensional gate, and Larian, who was waiting to provide support.

“The biggest problem is that crazy monster.”

He turned his gaze toward the human who made his hands tremble merely by thinking about him.

“Raon Zieghart.”

The Black Form Snake let out a hollow breath as he watched Raon, who had overwhelmed Eden’s commander, the Secluded Hermit, before the war had even begun.

"He became a different monster in that short time."

When the Heavenly Demon descended into his body, the Black Form Snake also watched Raon from within his own soul. He saw Raon withstand the Heavenly Demon’s punches and even counterattack, so he absolutely did not want to face him.

“I just want to run away….”

The Black Form Snake was clicking his tongue and tilting his head when—

“Absolutely not.”

A man wearing an octopus helmet walked out from behind the Black Form Snake and firmly shook his head.

“Eighth Great Demon?”

The Black Form Snake turned around and frowned at the man wearing the octopus helmet.

“Weren’t you on the battlefield?”

He flicked his chin, asking why he was here.

“The Heavenly Demon ordered me to watch you.”

The Eighth Great Demon slowly shook his head, as though the Heavenly Demon had already read all of the Black Form Snake’s thoughts.

“Fight. For Restoration.”

He glared at the Black Form Snake with an extremely heavy voice. He looked ready to kill the Black Form Snake on the spot if he refused to fight.

“Those guys have to show up before this can properly start anyway!”

The Black Form Snake waved his hand, asking him to cut him some slack.

“…….”

The Eighth Great Demon said nothing and merely stared into the Black Form Snake’s eyes. He looked ready to fight him for real if he did not follow the order.

“Damn Restoration!”

The Black Form Snake gnawed at his lips.

"You guys are such incredible cultists!"

He shook his head as if he really hated it.

“Fine. I’ll fight. But….”

The Black Form Snake caught his breath and rotated his wrist.

“I’m not fighting the strong ones.”

He muttered that he would avoid clashing with someone like Raon and move quietly instead, then kicked off the ground.

Ssssssssss!

The Black Form Snake did not actually unleash his combative energy violently or display any flashy techniques. He merely moved through the battlefield, lightly swinging his sword, yet the area behind him was filled with the corpses of decapitated humans.

"Pathetic bastard."

The Eighth Great Demon clicked his tongue and advanced to where the Black Form Snake was visible. He merely walked, yet the knights around him were crushed along with their armor, vomiting blood as they died.

“Hmph!”

The Black Form Snake clicked his tongue as he simultaneously severed the necks of five Beast Union warriors.

"Well, this isn't bad."

He shrugged, saying it relieved some stress at least.

“….”

The Eighth Great Demon seemed satisfied simply because the Black Form Snake had joined the battlefield and focused on his own battle. Every time he moved, the humans around him could not even counterattack before collapsing into a handful of blood. It was like watching a walking disaster.

Ruuuuumble!

With the Black Form Snake and the Eight Great Demon joining the battle, Eden’s momentum surged, and they began pushing the humans back once again.

Whooooooom!

A massive fist came crashing down over the Black Form Snake’s head, while the space before the Eight Great Demon’s eyes was sliced apart.

Kyaaaaaang!

The Black Form Snake hurriedly raised his sword and knocked the fist away, while the Eighth Great Demon also hurriedly moved away from the space being ripped apart. “You have no bearing of a warrior!”

The Beast King Ogram frowned in displeasure.

“I’ll carve this fist into those thin bones of yours!”

He lowered his stance, enraged by how the Black Form Snake had killed the humans as though he were making a mockery of them.

"So the old man who almost died getting sucked dry by the White Blood Religion’s leader is here?"

The Black Form Snake snickered as he mocked Ogram.

“An old fossil like you is no match for me.”

After checking Raon Zieghart’s position, he waved his hand, saying that aside from that human, there was nothing to fear.

“Come at me with everything you have.”

Ogram charged at the Black Form Snake, shouting for him to stop acting arrogant and fight at full strength.

“You’ll regret it.”

The Black Form Snake prepared himself to retreat at any moment, then thrust his sword toward Ogram’s fist.

Gooooooo!

Above the battlefield where the Black Form Snake and Ogram clashed, Chamber and the Eighth Great Demon faced each other.

“You’re interesting.”

Chamber stood in the air and beckoned toward the Eighth Great Demon with her chin.

“You have a lot of tentacles.”

She clicked her tongue, seemingly having sensed the Eight Great Demon’s tentacles that were invisible to everyone else.

“Stop picking on the kids and let’s have some fun among Transcenders.”

 

Chamber clasped her hands together, telling him to begin.

“…”

The Eighth Great Demon seemed to have no intention of exchanging words with Chamber. He moved his fingertips, his eyes radiating intense killing intent.

Eight transparent tentacles collided with magic, while below them, swords and fists clashed, unleashing terrifying shockwaves.

Kuaaaaaaaang!

*   *   *

Gooooooo!

Raon kept his eyes closed and spread his sense throughout the entire Cameloon Plains. When a battle was being fought on such a massive scale, relying on his senses was more effective than relying on his eyes.

‘The Black Form Snake and the Beast King have clashed. He stepped in at the right moment before the tide of battle turned. Of course, he must not kill him.’

‘Is Lady Chamber fighting that man in the octopus helmet? It doesn’t look easy, I need to send more troops to the dimensional gate.’

‘Greer and the Black Orc King are still fighting, and Jaina is trying to settle the match now.’

‘The Central Martial Palace master has also found the Death Sword Spirit. They’ll be fighting again.’

Raon’s senses, which had surpassed even Transcendence and reached the Absolute realm, were conveying every event taking place on the battlefield to him. His senses were so fast that processing everything in his mind actually felt slower.

‘At this rate, we will definitely win.’

Eden still had powerful figures who had yet to reveal their strength, but the Five Kings Alliance also had powerful figures of comparable caliber remaining. As long as the battle continued this way, he was certain of a decisive victory.

‘However….’

The real protagonists still hadn’t appeared.

Even though Eden was being clearly pushed back, Uriel and the celestials still had not revealed themselves.

‘They are definitely plotting something.’

Considering that Uriel had continued preparing without even visiting the temple, he must be planning to cause something today. Yet even now, with Eden being pushed back, he still hasn’t appeared. It’s making me uneasy

‘I want to draw them out quickly, but...’

He wanted to draw Uriel and the celestials out quickly so that they could not pull any tricks, but he had to conserve his strength to fight them, so he could not move the Light Wind swordsmen.

‘I have no choice but to wait... Hmm?’

Raon shook his head with an irritated look before looking at Wrath.

Huh? What are you looking at?

Wrath frowned as though telling him not to stare blankly.

‘That’s right.’

Raon curled up the corners of his lips and pulled Heavenly Drive back behind his waist.

‘Come to think of it, there’s no need for me to conserve my strength from this point onward.’

-W-What are you talking about?

As Wrath blinked in confusion, Raon brought the Ten Thousand Flames Cultivation to its utmost level.

Fwooooooosh!

He thrust the blade of Heavenly Drive forward, its edge glowing red from the heat of the Ten Thousand Flames Cultivation.

Kuaaaaaaaaaa!

A red flash shot along the horizon, and every monster caught in its path was sliced cleanly in half. The sheer overwhelming spectacle was enough to bring a moment of silence over the battlefield.

“W-What was that sword just now….”

“Has the Destructive King of the North returned?”

“N-No. That’s the Sword Immortal’s sword technique...”

"I-is that really a human's sword?"

The warriors of the Five Kings Alliance trembled as they stared at the red trail that still lingered in the air.

Step.

At the quiet sound of Raon taking his first step onto the battlefield, the Eden’s demons experienced an icy chill running down their spines for the first time.

“Celestials. Since you refuse to come out...”

Raon released the fighting spirit he had been holding back until now and curled up the corners of his lips.

“I will make you come out.”
