The Reincarnated Assassin is a Genius Swordsman 1374

 Chapter 1374

 

Kugugugugugu!

From behind the celestial who radiated an imposing presence like a general on the battlefield, a female celestial with a haggard face stepped forward. Both of them had six wings spread across their backs. They were unnaturally white, to the point that their appearance sent a chill down the spine.

“White wings and golden energy….”

“C-Celestials!”

“To think energy like that exists in this world….”

“Th-They feel more holy than the priests, but strangely, they give me chills...”

“Are those archangels?”

The warriors of the Five Kings Alliance swallowed nervously and stepped back at the sight of the celestials who had appeared by cutting across the sky. They seemed to already feel fear toward these legendary beings straight out of ancient tales, even before fighting them.

“The celestials are here!”

“The reinforcements finally arrived!”

“The real war starts now!”

“Destroy those humans!”

On the other hand, Eden’s demons, who had been pushed back continuously since the beginning of the war, burned with tremendous combative energy at the arrival of the reinforcements they had been waiting for, despite not receiving the Secluded Hermit’s sorcery.

“Huh?”

Raon slightly narrowed his eyes as he looked at the celestials standing in the blue sky and emitting holy light.

“Those bastards aren’t Uriel.”

The divine power that had opened the dimensional gate definitely belonged to Uriel, but the celestials who had emerged from it were strangers Raon had never seen before, not Uriel himself.

‘They aren’t archangels, either.’

Those two celestials were certainly powerful. In terms of divine power alone, they possessed strength comparable to the archangels I had killed before.

However, the defining characteristic of an archangel was their eight wings. These celestials possessed enormous wings that seemed large enough to cover the sky, but there were only six of them.

‘That bastard Uriel….’

Raon clenched the hand holding Heavenly Drive and bit his lip.

‘He’s still testing the waters even in a situation like this?’

Considering the conversation between the Secluded Hermit and Uriel, it seemed that the celestials needed Eden as well. Yet the fact that Uriel still did not appear at a moment like this made it seem that he was not actually in a hurry.

“Grr!”

The Secluded Hermit also seemed displeased that Uriel had not come himself and had instead sent other celestials. He looked up at the sky, his hand trembling violently.

That is not the case.

Wrath slightly narrowed his eyes as he looked up at the celestials.

‘What do you mean?’

Raon tilted his head, unable to understand Wrath’s words.

‘You’ve seen those celestials before?’

Not merely seen them. The King of Essence saw them many times.

Wrath slowly lowered his chin.

‘Many times?’

Those bastards are Uriel’s closest subordinates. To give you an example….

He narrowed his eyes as he looked at the Light Wind swordsmen behind him.

It’s the same as you sending Shitty Eyes, Ice Cream Girl, or Beef Girl onto the battlefield.

Wrath nodded, saying that it was the same as him sending two out of Burren, Martha, and Runaan.

The fact that those two have come means that Uriel is in an extremely desperate state right now.

He snorted, saying that Uriel would never have sent those two unless the situation were truly dire.

‘Then….’

Raon licked his lips as he looked at the two celestials.

‘If I kill those two, Uriel will definitely come out, then?’

Since he himself would go to them no matter what if Burren, Martha, or Runaan were attacked, it seemed Uriel would not be particularly different.

Absolutely. They are subordinates who have followed Uriel since before he became an archangel.

Wrath nodded firmly.

Seeing those two, he can truly feel that the war against the celestials is finally approaching.

He licked his lips, saying that Uriel really had gathered the celestials after all.

‘Good.’

Raon called Wooden Ring Sword to his side and curled his lips upward.

‘The answer is simple.’

If I killed those two quickly, I could weaken Uriel’s forces and prevent him from unlocking the seal. It was a perfect situation, making things even better than if Uriel had come himself.

Even so, do not underestimate them.

Wrath narrowed his nose as he looked at the two celestials radiating powerful energy waves.

Those two are bastards who have continuously survived the war against the demon that has lasted for thousands of years. It would be best for you to be careful.

He slightly jerked his chin, warning him not to underestimate Uriel’s subordinates.

‘Setting aside the fact that they’re Uriel’s closest subordinates, the fact that you’re telling me to be careful means they’re no ordinary opponents.’

Raon calmly nodded.

‘But I believe in my sword.’

He let out a cold breath, saying that he believed in his own might.

Hah!

Wrath let out an exclamation.

How arrogant! You have truly become a vessel worthy of a king now!

He moved his hands vigorously, seemingly pleased with Raon’s answer.

Puuuuung!

As Raon loosened his fingers around Heavenly Drive, the two celestials who had been standing in the sky and glaring down at the humans suddenly descended and landed in front of him.

“Palace master!”

“The celestials are here. We can fight them now, right?”

Burren, Martha, and Runaan stepped in front of Raon and faced the celestials.

“Are you Raon Zieghart?”

The male celestial looked at Raon, his blue eyes flashing.

“I-I received is command...”

The female celestial fidgeted shyly, her voice barely audible.

“My name is Aetherion. And….”

After giving his own name, the male celestial looked at the woman.

“I-I’m Ella… Hnnng….”

With everyone’s eyes turning toward her, the female celestial lowered her voice even further.

“This one is Ellara.”

Aetherion frowned as he gave the woman’s name as well.

“We have come under the command of the great archangel Uriel to destroy you.”

As he declared that he had come to kill Raon, he drew a greatsword from his back that was thicker than a human torso.

“I-I’m sorry….”

As though she had no choice because she had been given an order, Ellara trembled as she raised a sword as thin as a rapier.

“No. Rather, I’m grateful you came. When you kill a dog on a leash….”

Raon stepped forward with a gentle smile.

“Its owner will come running out.”

*   *   *

“Haa?”

The Black Form Snake let out a hollow breath as he looked at Raon and the celestials standing before him.

“What the hell is going on?”

He frowned, unable to understand why only two celestials had appeared.

“Damn it! Are they really abandoning us?”

The Black Form Snake grumbled and turned around.

Whoooooooosh!

With a powerful gust that seemed to tear the space apart, a rock-like fist came flying at him.

“Now is hardly the time to worry about something like that.”

It was Ogram, the Beast King. He was overwhelming the Black Form Snake with a relentless barrage of terrifying punches.

“Grr….”

The Black Form Snake deflected Ogram’s punches and furrowed his brow.

“You barbaric old bastard!”

He sprang backward and glared at Ogram.

“Didn’t you hear it from Raon Zieghart? That you must not kill me?”

The Black Form Snake furrowed his brow, asking whether Ogram did not understand the situation.

“I heard him very clearly.”

Ogram calmly nodded.

“He told me that I must not kill the swordsman wearing the Black Snake’s helmet.”

Even as he said that he had heard Raon’s words perfectly clearly, he did not lower his fist.

“Then why!”

“As long as I don’t kill you, what’s the problem!”

Ogram snorted, intending to beat the Black Form Snake to the brink of death without actually killing him.

“Haa….”

The Black Form Snake exhaled a murky breath while looking up at the empty air.

“You barbaric old bastard. Coming back from the brink of death has really made you lose your mind!”

Apparently genuinely angered, thick veins rose across the back of the hand gripping his sword.

“Since the celestials will be coming soon anyway, I was planning to fight you halfheartedly and withdraw, but….”

Dark red combative energy began to burn in the Black Form Snake’s eyes.

“But I’ll skin that old hide and take it with me!”

He muttered that he would kill Ogram himself before leaving, then raised his sword wreathed in dark red combative energy.

Chiaaaaaaaaaa!

The Black Form Snake’s sword moved fluidly like the head of a snake stalking its prey, darting toward Ogram’s neck. The bizarre rattling sound flowing from the tip of the blade created the image of a pitch-black snake crawling across the ground.

“Hmph!”

Even as he watched the Black Form Snake’s terrifying combative energy, Ogram merely snorted.

“Now this is getting fun!”

He said that fighting him until now had been like fighting a puppet, then thrust his fist toward the Black Form Snake’s sword as it came slashing fiercely toward him.

Kieaaaaaaaaaa!

The swords and fists of the Transcenders collided, but strangely, the sound that rang out resembled the scream of a ghost. It seemed to be caused by the combative energy imbued in the Black Form Snake’s sword.

“What kind of fight is that?”

Chamber furrowed her brow as though she could not understand the Black Form Snake’s swordsmanship, then fired spell that sliced through space.

“….”

The Eight Great Demon sent Chamber’s magic into another dimension and turned their cold gazes toward the Black Form Snake and Ogram.

However, the one he glared at with those cold eyes was not Ogram, but the Black Form Snake.

“There isn’t much time left.”

*   *   *

Shwaaaaaaaaaa!

Raon did not even say they should begin and immediately swung Heavenly Drive. Just as he was about to cut through both celestials’s necks at once, Aetherion stepped forward.

Jjeoooooooooong!

He perfectly blocked the Crimson Slash that came crashing down with ferocious force, as though he possessed an ability specialized in defense. There was not even the slightest tremor in his sword, as though he had completely nullified the impact as well.

Suuuuuuuuuuu!

While Aetherion blocked the Crimson Slash, Ellara silently sprang out from behind him. She merely flicked her right hand, yet her sword flew forward at a speed too fast for the eye to follow.

Woooooooong!

Raon did not panic as Ellara’s sword pierced toward him in an instant. He raised a wall of flames, the Firewall of the Ten Thousand Flames Cultivation, which could both block and deflect attacks.

Paaaaaaaaaaang!

However, Ellara’s sword was not merely fast. It was sharp enough to pierce through the flames of the Firewall, while possessing enough precision and weight to keep from being deflected by the shield’s curved surface.

Ssssssizzle!

Raon managed to block Ellara’s sword, but he was forced to take one step back.

“P-Palace master!”

“Are you all right?”

Krein and Dorian widened their eyes in surprise at seeing Raon pushed back.

“….”

Burren, Martha, and Runaan said nothing, simply watching Raon’s back.

“So this is how it works.”

Raon nodded.

Just as you sensed.

Ras twisted his lips as he looked at Aetherion and Ellara.

That bear-like brute possesses absolute-level defense, while that fox-like wench possesses absolute-level offensive power.

Wrath nodded, saying there was a reason he had said they were no ordinary opponents.

On top of that, the two move as though they were one body, so they are actually not easier to deal with than a single Transcender.

Wrath furrowed his brows as he explained that Aetherion and Ellara were siblings born to the same mother and had mastered a combined assault technique that allowed them to read each other’s minds.

‘I understand.’

Raon nodded, saying that he understood the entire situation through Aetherion and Ellara’s swordsmanship before him and Wrath’s explanation.

Then what will you do?

Wrath licked his lips, sounding curious.

‘Like this.’

It was the moment Raon calmly smiled as though there was no need to worry and brought Heavenly Drive down.

Peeeeeeeeeeung!

Aetherion’s sword, which had come forward to defend, broke, and his chest split open as though it had exploded.
