The Reincarnated Assassin is a Genius Swordsman - Chapter 866

Chapter 866

Raon turned around and squinted. A man wearing a green snake helmet was walking out from behind the Black Dragon’s corpse.

“Are you….”

Although she had sensed that someone was coming up behind her a moment ago, Eden hadn’t expected it to be a snake helmet.

-That snake helmet guy. This is the fourth time, isn’t it?

Rath frowned, wondering why it kept coming back to life.

‘That’s right, though the colour is different each time.

A golden snake, a red snake, a blue snake, a green snake, I don’t know where this is going.

It’s ridiculous, and now I’m wondering what the next colour will be.

‘What’s even funnier is….’

It just keeps getting stronger and stronger.

The man in the green snake helmet’s qi was beyond Grandmaster, touching transcendence.

It was clear that he had broken through the wall, even though his level was lower than hers.

-It’s curious, he’s obviously a different human being, and his temperament is not similar, but I have a feeling he’s the same one.

Rath shook his head, as if his very existence were strange.

‘Yes, it is. There must be something to it.’

As he said, all the previous serpent helmers are dead, and the green serpent helmet in front of you is a different person.

But the one wearing the snake helmet remembered everything that had happened to him.

I suspect they are the same person, or at least share the same spirit.

“Is it green this time?”

Raon frowned at the man in the green snake helmet.

“I recognise him.”

The man in the green snake helmet smiled thinly as he adjusted his own helmet.

“Who the hell are you?”

Raon jerked his chin, aiming his halberd.

“For now, you can call me Noklangsa.”

The man in the green serpent helmet flicked the back of his hand as he called himself Nokrangsa. He seemed less flippant than the last time I’d seen him.

“That’s not your name I’m asking.”

“Then what do you want to know?”

Nolansa tilted his head stiffly, as if to say something.

“I’m asking what your identity is.”

Raon lifted his gaze, smooth as an awl.

“You said a moment ago that I change to your satisfaction every time I see you, which means you keep running into me, and I’m seeing you for the first time today.”

He twisted his mouth into a sneer.

“Though this is the fourth time you’ve worn that ugly helmet.”

“That’s a question I’ve asked you before.”

Nolansa nodded slightly.

“The answer is simple. Think as you feel. You can think they are the same person, or you can think they are not.”

He shrugged his shoulders as if to say, “You can think whatever you want. He didn’t seem inclined to answer.

“More than that….”

Nolansa looked at the Black Dragon’s corpse and smiled.

“I didn’t expect Zera Pyrette to die so easily, even if she had only just become a High Dragon. Should I have done things a little faster?”

He chuckled in disbelief at the Black Dragon’s death.

“Taking care of business? What do you think you’re after by joining forces with a dragon?”

Raon asked, his voice full of life.

“Simple, isn’t it? To burn this place down.”

Nolansa threw up her hands as if it were obvious.

“The World Tree?”

“I couldn’t do it because you stopped me.”

He curled his lip as if to say that he was referring to the time he and the Red Devil had raided Seifia.

Indeed, there were monsters all over the Great Forest now, and not just monsters, but waves of Eden’s ghosts.

It looked like they were going to have an even tougher fight out there.

“Are we really sharing a mind with the dead?”

Raon lowered his eyebrows at Nolansa.

“Not really. My mind is entirely mine, though the next one will be different….”

Nolansa muttered something unintelligible in a low tone, definitely a different personality than the previous ones.

“Hmm.”

Raon said to Nokrangsa, then turned his attention to the north.

Sterin’s airwaves had diminished considerably. It seemed to be losing ground.

‘And….’

Nolansa, that bastard. He’s hiding something.

He must have taken something from Seafia, or planted it, because he’s been doing his business.

We should cut him down as quickly as possible and go help Sterin.

“I have many questions, but time is short, so I’ll make quick work of him.”

Raon pointed his flesh-coloured divine sword at Nolansa.

“I thought I had the upper hand this time, but I didn’t expect you to be on top.”

Nolansa snapped her fingers, and a great red dragon rose from the Seafia sky in a blaze of flame.

“Good thing I told Mathirus to send another one.”

He nodded, as if his judgement had not been wrong.

“Two against one shouldn’t be too much to stop you.”

“Red Dragon….”

Raon chewed his lip as he looked at the Red Dragon floating in the sky.

“Long-lived, but not a great dragon.

Judging by its size and mana, the Red Dragon was on the edge of being a Holy Dragon, but thankfully not a God Dragon.

‘Of course, being Red is a problem.

The Red Clan is the most powerful of all dragons, and this is a forest. I was nervous because this was the place where he would be able to show his greatest strength.

-Oh! Two whole roasted lizards, two different flavours!

Rath even clapped his hands in approval. Despite the danger, he laughed.

[I’ve been played for a fool].

The Red Dragon rolled its eyes and opened its massive gaping maw, more annoyance at being outwitted by humans than anger at the death of its own kind.

Flame mana began to coalesce in its blackened throat, like an abyss.

[I’ll still get my revenge!]

The Red Dragon exploded the flames condensing in its mouth.

Breath of flame, the strongest of all dragons, rained down on Raon like a thunderbolt.

Crackle, crackle, crackle!

Unlike the Black Dragon, it didn’t spread out over a wide area, but was compressed into one place, and the pressure was enormous.

His feet dug into the ground of their own accord, and his hand trembled as he gripped his sword.

“Try to stop it.”

Nolanggui stepped back, as if to drain his strength. In an instant, he was out of sight. It seemed to move on the wind.

Whoosh!

Raon frowned as he watched the breath of flame flow like lava.

‘That’s some heat.

Even though he was resistant to fire, his skin felt like it was being cooked by the heat of the Breath.

If it weren’t for the Ring of Fire, I wouldn’t be able to stay in this place.

Bullfight!

Raon gritted his teeth and leapt into the breath of flame. The Ring of Fire resonated with polarity, and he unleashed a silver blade of annihilation.

Kaaaaaaaaaaaah!

The breath of flame that threatened to destroy the boreal forest was blocked by Glacia’s chill, and heat and cold competed in the air.

Vapour billowed from the heavens, a fiery inferno hung in the sky, and the earth was blanketed in white snow.

Steamy, steamy, steamy!

But the contest between heat and cold didn’t last long.

Kaaaaaang!

The sword power of the Great Yan Zhongtian, which contained the grandeur of the heavens, began to shatter the heat and freeze the very breath of flame.

Blue icicles of frozen Flame Breath rose up from the ground of the Great Forest.

[That’s a lie!]

The Red Dragon’s eyes widened, as if it hadn’t realised that the Flame Breath it had unleashed could be blocked.

[How can you freeze the flame breath….]

“Go play somewhere else, brat.”

Raon stepped on the frozen Breath of Flame and ascended into the sky. Before the panicked Red Dragon could react, he drew a silver sword dream towards its throat.

Crackle!

The blade of the blazing divine sword pierced through the Red Dragon’s scales, and just as it was about to crush its dragon heart, a blade of windy green shot out.

Tsk, tsk, tsk!

It’s a green ear. The creature that had disappeared from the ground reappeared, blocking his blade.

“I can’t let you kill him, so I’m going to have to back off.”

The green beast lowered its jaws, and a gust of wind blew in, pushing Raon back.

“What if I don’t?”

Raon withstood the gust of wind with a will of transcendence and slammed his halberd down on top of the holy sword.

Quadruple quadruple!

The blow failed to shatter the Red Dragon’s heart, but it did carve a fatal gash into its neck, and it stepped back.

[Off, off, off!]

The Red Dragon screamed, its massive flesh writhing as if in pain from the torn flesh alone.

“That’s awful, I didn’t think they’d get any further in there.”

Greenfang frowned at the boar.

“You’re not spooked by humans, though, are you?”

He flicked his hand behind him, as if to provoke the dragon.

[Of course not, I’ll kill that bug with my own hands!]

The red dragon revealed a vibrant eye glow as it healed its wounds with healing magic.

Woof!

High-ranking magics were generated around him, and thanks to the Red Dragon’s race, its magical power seemed to be on par with the Black Dragon he had killed earlier.

“The odds are stacked against us, but we’ll see.”

The green dragon, now intent on joining in with full force, conjured a wind that glowed rust-coloured above his sword.

“I don’t like the wind.”

Raon frowned deeply as he watched the wind form around the green beast’s blade.

“I’ll break it right now.”

* * *

“Hah….”

Shi Yan let out a long sigh and lowered his hand.

“Tough.

Even if Raon had erased most of the poisonous energy, he still couldn’t stop the poisonous energy that came in on the wind.

Summoning four top-grade spirits at the same time to protect the entirety of Seifia had drained his energy and made him dizzy.

“I still can’t rest.

Shi Yan’s eyes narrowed as he watched Laon, the Red Dragon, and the Green Dragon fight in the sky.

“If we stay here, even Raon won’t be able to exert his strength.

There are many elves and children in Seifia who are unable to fight.

Raon shouldn’t be here if he wanted to show his true strength and prepare for any eventuality.

“Everyone, go to the Holy Land!”

Shi Yan called to the remaining elves in the village after opening the gap in the sanctuary that had been created to protect the World Tree.

“But if the World Tree is endangered because of us….”

“It’s okay, I’ll protect it with my life!”

She shook her head firmly at the worried elves. She seemed a different person than when she was trembling in front of Raon.

“Ah, I see.”

“All of you, enter the holy path, first the child!”

The elves seemed to be encouraged by Shiyan’s words, and with hesitant steps, they entered the path to the holy grounds.

“Lord Raon.”

Shi Yan clasped his hands together as he watched Raon extinguish the flames of the fire dragon.

“Please.

She asked him to protect those who remained here, and then entered the holy grounds for the last time.

* * *

‘Good.’

Raon nodded as he watched the elves enter the sanctuary.

It had been a struggle to keep her magic and swordfire from falling on Seifia, but it seemed she could fight without hesitation from now on.

“Where are you looking?”

Greenfang lowered his eyebrows and swung his sword. With a single swipe, hundreds of wind blades rushed towards the entire body.

[Burst out!]

The Red Dragon used the wind generated by the green eagle to shoot out a high-level flame magic called Explosion Lan.

Although powerful in nature, the slower magic was carried by the wind like a beam of light.

Zzzzzzzzzzzz!

Raon unleashed both the Bead Wall and the White Flame Island at the same time, blocking both the Wind Blade and the Flame Orchid.

However, the impact was too great to prevent him from being knocked back.

“Looks like you’re no match for two against one.”

Nolansa concentrated the atmosphere around her blade. A giant blade of wind rose above his head, as if forged by a giant.

[I will be unstoppable this time].

The Red Dragon, seeing his chance, drew another breath of flame. The world around him seemed to distort in the blinding heat.

“The end? That’s good.”

Raon stomped through the air as if he’d been deliberately pushed aside and strode towards the Red Dragon and the Green Ranger.

He slung his divine sword over his shoulder, his magic sword behind his back, and stomped on the polarity’s tapestry.

Chiiyiyiying!

Like the final explosion of a dying star, a great burst of fire and frost rose above the dying divine and magical swords, threatening to engulf the sky.

Raon Sieghardt Ryu Sword Style Type 6

Divine Harmony Link, Crimson Invincible Sword.

A transcendent sword master manifested in the world through the blades of divine and demonic swords.

Kaaaaaaaaaaaah!

The fire and frost, which should have been opposites, became a single sword strike in harmony, cutting the blades of Red Dragon’s Breath and Green Dragon’s Wind in half.

Woof, woof, woof!

The blackened sky cracked with a tremendous surge of mana, and a black dragon rising from the heavens.

However, the Red Dragon and the Green Dragon were also at full strength, so even the Crimson Invincible Sword was unable to slice through them, and they faded into nothingness.

[How does this make sense, humans….]

The Red Dragon let out a weary breath, as if it couldn’t believe Laon’s power.

“Your hands are shaking.”

The green she-cat dusted off her hands, which had become stiff with exhaustion.

“Still, I’m glad. Now that that bastard’s Sword Realm is over, he won’t be able to generate the same power as Mara… Huh?”

His eyes widened as he spoke to the Red Dragon.

“The sword!”

Raon’s hand that should have been holding the sword was empty, and the moment he felt it, a sharp crack sounded from his right.

Piaaaaang!

It was a Yi Yi sword that cut through space.

“Ugh!”

Ning Rangui hastily gathered the wind and blocked the incoming Qi Sword.

Zzzzzzzzzz!

Although it was barely able to block it, the power contained within the Yi Yi Sword was too strong for it to avoid internal injuries. Black blood spurted out of its mouth.

“Mmph, help me… Huh?”

Green Gui turned around to call for help, only to see a crisp, glowing leaf sword embedded in the Red Dragon’s hyoid.

“Crazy….”

Raon Sieghardt had unleashed two Yggier swords from the start, and unlike himself, the dragon hadn’t been able to dodge them and seemed to have sacrificed its neck.

[off….]

To dragons, the heart is a vital source similar to the human heart. With that broken, the Red Dragon plummeted to the ground, unable to contain himself.

Koooooooow!

The Red Dragon’s eyes rolled back in his head and he died, along with Zera Pyrette, who had dismissed the humans as a threat.

“This is ridiculous, for someone who just ascended to Transcendence….”

Nolansa looked at the dead Red Dragon and the Black Dragon’s corpse next to it, her blood-soaked lips trembling.

“Whoa.”

Raon exhaled a blood-scented breath, half-bent at the waist.

“Good thing it worked.

The moment the Divine Harmony Crystal extinguished, he raised his polarity sword to strike at both of them simultaneously, and was lucky to catch one.

It would have been better if the green dragon had been killed, but I was glad to have taken care of the dragon at least.

‘Of course, I was exhausted….’

I was mentally and physically exhausted from all the battles I’d fought and the visits I’d made to the world of imagination.

His body felt heavy, and he was drained of Auror energy, but he didn’t let it show.

“I see the tide has turned in your favour.”

Raon shook his head, clutching the returned Celestial Blade and Remer’s sword.

“Without further ado, I’m done….”

Just as I was about to attack Nolangsa.

Kaaaaaah!

Something flew from the north and slammed into Seifia’s centre.

“Ugh….”

I turned to see Sterin staggering in a cloud of dust.

At the same time, a noble-looking man with blond hair and golden eyes appeared beside him.

“Ready?”

The blond man jerked his chin at the greenhorn.

“Done, of course.”

Nolang Gui nodded as he savoured his food.

“Then….”

The blond man snapped his fingers, and Sephiroth crumpled like the paper he held in his hand, exploding in a powerful blast.

Kwaaaaaaaaang!

With a golden glow, space cracked open, revealing the Holy Land’s crystal formation that concealed the World Tree.

“Uh…”

“There it is!”

“Someone broke the gate of the Holy Land!”

Shi Yan and the elves standing guard over the World Tree widened their eyes at this sudden development.

“You must be Raon Sieghardt.”

The blond man, apparently a dragon, raised his chin arrogantly.

“For killing two of your own kind in this short moment, you must die.”

He shook his head, his serene eyes coming to life.

“I’m fighting the odds again?”

Nolansa drew a sneer and twirled the sword in her hand.

“An unfavourable fight….”

Raon’s mouth curled up as he looked at the swords of Jecheon and Limerick.

“I’ve done that dozens of times over.”

He glared at the golden flames above his and Limer’s swords.

“Let me show you what Siegfried’s swordsmen are made of.”
