The Reincarnated Assassin is a Genius Swordsman - Chapter 879
Chapter 879
“This, a blow?”
Borgos’ bloody lips trembled as he looked at the decapitated Balrog.
‘I never thought I would cut that monster down with one sword…’
You know better than anyone else the power of the devil wrapped in flames…
I couldn’t believe that I had crushed the top-class weapon Thunder’s Hammer with my little finger and killed with one single sword the monster that had burned down everything the Gray Hammer Guild had built with just a small spark.
‘It’s not strange to call him the new Sword God…’
I heard rumors that Raon had reached Transcendence, but I didn’t know that he had reached the stable stage beyond the initial stage. He had tremendous talent. He had the power to turn the history of the continent upside down.
“yes!”
Martha struck her palm with the hand holding the sword.
“You have to do that much to make it a whirlwind!”
She nodded, saying it was refreshing.
“Are you using lightning now?”
Burren let out a laugh as if it was absurd.
“Flame, frost, wind, earth, and then lightning…”
He lowered his eyebrows, wondering what power he would use next.
“Today Raon Daejonjal…”
Even though Runaan was busy protecting the burned dwarves and artisans, she did not take her purple eyes off Raon’s back.
“her····”
Cheryl let out an exclamation of surprise after cutting down five demons at once.
‘That sword technique, I learned it from the head of the family this time…’
I remember Glenn being excited when he said he would teach Raon the Thunder Blade…
I was speechless at the thought of using the swordsmanship I had learned in just one night in a real fight, and on top of that, against a monster that had reached transcendence, and beheading it.
“Is it over now?”
Dorian lowered his sword with a gasp.
“Then let’s go back quickly. It’s too hot here and it’s not good for the injured people…”
“no·”
Raon shook his head, interrupting Dorian.
“Now is the beginning…”
As soon as the word “begin” was finished, a fountain of flame shot up from the neck of Balrog, who had lost his head.
Hwaaaaak!
The thick flames brought back to life the Balrog’s head with five horns sticking out, as if it had been touched by a craftsman’s delicate touch.
“I didn’t know you could hit it right away. And at a speed beyond my perception.”
Balok muttered that it was great and rubbed the back of his neck.
“Eww!”
Dorian screamed and fell to the ground, as if he had never imagined that the Balrog would be resurrected.
“Mo, you can survive even if your head is cut?”
“Damn it! “What kind of lizard tail is that?”
“As persistent as it is ugly…”
Burren, Marta, and Runan also trembled their lips with stiff expressions, as if they had seen something they could not see.
“It would be weirder for a demon to die just because they cut off their head…”
Raon relaxed his fingers without the slightest embarrassment.
-Did you know that you would come back to life?
Las whistled as if surprised.
‘Because I’ve already seen it once.’
The Black Tower’s transcendent master, Changyeonmagun, did not die even though his head was torn off by Las.
It would have been even stranger if Balrog, the strongest among the demons, had died by cutting his throat…
Of course, I predicted that the head would be regenerated.
“You are a prey with a saltier liver than I thought.”
Balrog took a long sip as if he liked it.
“Don’t be bluff…”
Raon looked up at Balrog with his chin tilted.
“I didn’t die, but I felt like my energy level had dropped.”
Balrog regenerated his head and consumed quite a bit of energy.
Unlike the first time when I felt the difference in strength, the bastard’s energy now was no different from my own.
“It’s not a bluff”
Balrog stretched out his arms and curled the corners of his mouth.
“I’m just happy that I can fight a strong person like you… It doesn’t matter if I die, you die, or both die! “Come with all your might!”
He stomped his feet with such a jolt that his skin prickled. The thin earth burst open, sending lava and fire shooting out from all directions.
“No, you’re the only one who’s going to die.”
Raon chewed his lip and drew a red line. A silver-white flash like frost cut through the fierce flames and struck Balrog’s head.
It was a sight like a meteor flying through the sky sinking into the burning earth.
“I’ll break it!”
As the Balrog reached out into the burning flames, a sticky greatsword that seemed to have sprung from a source of lava was caught in his grasp.
Hooooooooooo!
The flames from Balrog’s great sword roared as if they would cover the heavens and earth, erasing the cold air created by the enemy island.
Quaaaaaaaaaaa!
Two swords covered in flame and frost clashed, and a roar that shook the heavens and earth erupted.
The frozen white ground was split into pieces, and the hardened lava spouted fire again and covered the ground.
It was a sight as if the world had come to an end…
“Aren’t you going to run away?”
Balrog raised his sharp eyes as if he was surprised.
“You’re in a fighting stance for a human. But that’s not a good choice.”
He curled his lips, saying he had made a wrong choice.
“That weak body won’t be able to withstand my strength!”
Balrog strengthened the hand holding the great sword, saying he would crush it like this.
But no matter how much strength he added, Raon’s arms and legs did not shake.
“Hold on? “How do humans…”
Balrog widened his eyes in disbelief.
“Now it’s your turn to endure”
When Raon raised his wrist as if he was at ease, the thin Jecheon Sword began to push away the great sword of flame as big as the pillar of a building.
Kookookookookook!
The sight of Raon pushing away a Balrog twice his size with his strength filled the eyes of both humans and demons with astonishment.
“···This is human power?”
Balrog seemed bewildered by his own weakness and grabbed the greatsword with both hands, but he still could not gain momentum and was only able to withstand Raon’s strength.
“Is it difficult to be surprised to this extent?”
Raon looked at Balrog’s embarrassed eyes and tilted his chin.
“It’s just the beginning…”
-Heung· He sucked out the bone and flesh of the main king, so it’s only natural that a guy like that should be crushed lightly·
Las snorted, saying it was strange to lose.
‘yes·’
He himself possessed physical abilities that surpassed those of a transcendent being since he was a Grand Master thanks to Las.
This time, as I reached transcendence, my abilities and characteristics increased tremendously, so I felt like I had a body that could not be defeated by Balrog.
“Good! Let’s fight until the end with all our might!”
Balrog stamped his feet as if his pride was hurt when he was unable to overwhelm with his strength, causing his demonic energy to peak.
The flames coming from the great sword became stronger and the surroundings around him began to melt into white.
Cheeeeeeeing!
Raon opened his frosty flames towards the fire sword of Balrog that was coming like a tidal wave.
Two lines of silver flash cut through the flames and struck down the great sword of the Balrog approaching from behind.
Jeez, jeez, jeez!
The sword of heaven drawn by Raon and the great sword of flame stabbed by Balrog clashed in succession, creating a blackened crack and shaking the entire tunnel.
It seemed as if chaos had come to this world, and the lava that filled the earth rippled and sprayed sticky embers in all directions.
Kookookookookook!
Laon and Balrog walked on the blood-red lava and fired fierce sword lights at each other.
The entire tunnel shook with each step that carried the weight of transcendence.
A clash of power and speed that cannot be caught. The infinite power that changes the world and the universe collided endlessly.
The lava split apart in the whirlwind caused by the sharp sword strike, and the soft boulders were scattered in pieces. Everything around the two transcendent beings was disappearing.
‘Charging like a wild boar without any regard for injuries…
Rather than stabbing, Raon frowned as he struck away the Balrog’s great sword that was threatening to burst.
‘Similar to unmanned, but different.’
Even if it is an unmanned vehicle that focuses on strength and speed, it instinctively shows movements to avoid injury.
But Balrog pushed forward with force and determination, not even bothering to look for a vital spot, as if he was going to kill himself and die as well.
The swordsmanship itself was great, but the movements themselves were filled with conviction and soul, making them difficult to deal with.
“You look like you’re getting tired now!”
Balrog seemed to think he had gained momentum and held his greatsword upside down with a cruel smile.
The flames flowed like a waterfall, forming a long, smooth whip of flame. It was like seeing a dragon’s tail.
Hwaaaaah!
As Balrog struck down the whip of flame, nine streams of flame poured down over his head. It seemed as if the fire dragon was spewing flames endlessly.
Couuuuuuuuuck!
Raon erected a wall of frost beads to block the flame whip and exhaled briefly.
‘Do you get stronger the more you fight?’
Balrog seems to gain strength the more he fights, pressuring himself with increasingly stronger spirit.
The flame of the whip he was swinging began to turn blue and burn even Glacia’s coldness.
“That kind of cold won’t stop my flame!”
Balrog laughed at Glacia’s coldness and changed his whip back into a flaming greatsword and struck down.
Couuuuuuuuuck!
Raon blocked Balrog’s great sword, but the heat was so strong that the cold surrounding the sword began to melt.
-How dare that guy!
Lass raised his head, gritting his teeth.
-What are you doing! The main king is being ignored!
The guy ground his teeth as if to ask why he was being treated like this.
-By force, George!
‘I was already thinking of doing that…’
Raon nodded lightly. Since he understood all of Balrog’s sword skills and abilities, he planned to end it now.
“I mean, try harder!”
As the Balrog drew a horizontal line of lava with the great sword he held with both hands, a roar as if the world was being torn apart erupted.
The howling wind added to the intense heat, creating a terrifying wave of flames.
It seemed as if the entire space was caught in Balrog’s red grip.
Kwaaaaaaaah!
Raon stabbed the sword of the Jecheon Sword towards the rushing great sword of Balrog.
A sharp cold air spread throughout the entire underground, blooming like frost flowers on the sharp blade.
The final battle of the Demon King of Anger·
Silver Aurora…
The silver aurora drawn with swordsmanship has bloomed brilliantly in the realm of transcendence.
Kwaaaaaaaah!
The bitter cold breath that cut through the air swirled and seeped into the waves of flame. Beautiful waves of ice bloomed in places where different colored air collided.
The lava and fire that covered the entire underground subsided, and only the silver world survived.
It was the result of drawing out the power of Mother Nature in a realm of transcendence beyond the human race.
Quaddududuk!
The frozen firestorm in front of the silver aurora was dyed in a brilliant silver color, like a world tree of frost symbolizing Las.
“Now, wait! “This cold!”
The Balrog tried to push away the silver aurora by creating a flame, but the silver world had already tied its limbs and tightened its torso and neck.
“Yes, you, the Lord of Wrath, and what… hmph!”
Balrog was unable to finish his last sentence and his mouth and even head froze.
“You talk too much”
Raon twisted his mouth and drew the Jecheon Sword.
Quaaaaaaaaaaa!
The frozen body of Balrog burst, and the boiling lava and flames all subsided. Unlike before, not even the slightest life could be felt from his body.
“Whoa…”
Raon let out a short sigh as he lowered his sword.
‘It’s definitely not easy…’
It seemed like a simple catch, but it was actually a small difference. If he hadn’t used Las’s decisive move to draw out all of Glacia’s power, he might have been burned instead.
-Well done!
Lars waved his round hand up and down.
-He ignored the power of the main king! It looks great!
The guy wagged his tail as he looked at the torn balok.
‘You compliment me and everything happens.’
Raon smiled as he lowered his sword.
-compliment? When is this king?
‘They said you did a good job…’
-That, that’s just talk! Don’t act cocky and grab someone who doesn’t know how to use his strength properly!
Las shook his head, saying he was just a kid.
‘I won’t be cocky… but transcendence is definitely different…’
The sword moves as he wishes, and he can even control the power of nature. He has caught an ancient dragon and a Balrog, and now he feels like he has finally reached transcendence.
‘hmm?’
Raon smiled contentedly and narrowed his eyes. He felt a faint magic at the end of the tunnel where the lava had disappeared.
‘Isn’t this the magic power of Balrog?’
The Balrog’s energy was calm, as if looking at a warrior, but an ugly energy was felt in the traces of demonic energy left on the ground where the Balrog had apparently been summoned.
‘I knew it····’
Someone else summoned you…
The Balrog that fought him was certainly strong, but he was not strong enough to break through dimensions on his own like the Demon Kings.
It was clear that someone had prepared a lot for the summoning.
‘It’s probably the black tower…’
There is nothing to see… The only people who use this level of tainted magic energy are the devils of the Black Tower…
‘Were you trying to build up strength in this space and then pull it out?’
It is not certain, but it seems that they were trying to summon Balrog in this underground to subdue the dwarves and then make both sides their own forces.
‘I don’t know if I should call this fortunate…’
By dealing with Balrog and the demons before they could grow in power, we were able to prevent a situation where thousands or tens of thousands of people could die.
However, there were many people who died here too, so I couldn’t just be happy…
Raon turned around, feeling bitterness on the tip of his tongue. He smiled and nodded at the people who were looking at him with nervous faces.
“It’s over. You can rest assured now.”
He shook off the remaining heat from the Balrog in his grasp and nodded.
“Hey, you’re not being resurrected anymore?”
Dorian lifted a trembling finger and pointed at the frozen body of the Balrog.
“I don’t know if it will be resurrected or not, but even if it does, it won’t be a threat…”
Raon shook his head slightly. Even if beings that have transcended humanity are revived, most of them consume a lot of energy.
If Balrog were to come back to life now, he would end up in Cheryl’s hands without needing to step forward.
“You said something called Balrog earlier, what is that?”
Martha narrowed her eyes as if remembering what she first said.
“Demon tribe”
Raon looked back at Balrog’s corpse and clicked his tongue.
“Among the demon race, they are an extremely strong fighting race.”
I briefly recited the explanation that Lars had given me.
“Balrog? Well, come to think of it···”
Borgos lifted his head, his chin trembling.
“I remember my father telling me that there were such monsters… that they were greedy for fire, battle, and weapons…”
He blurted out that he had finally remembered it.
“They said that among all the races, there was no one who could match you, but you····”
Borgos approached Raon with his knees raised, blood clenched and scabbed over.
“Thank you… No, thank you… There is nothing I can say other than thank you…”
He knelt on the ground where the heat had not subsided, saying that he was grateful for saving the dwarves and the people.
Even though my skin was getting soggy, I lowered my head without even a groan.
“thank you·”
“thank you so much····”
The craftsmen of the Dwarf and Gray Hammer Guilds also knelt behind Borgos and struck the ground with their fists, not caring about his injuries. It was the craftsmen’s greeting.
“Don’t do this”
Raon motioned to Borgos and the craftsmen to rise.
“I only helped because I could.”
I shook my head and said it wasn’t that big of a deal.
“No, it’s a big deal. If you hadn’t come, we would have just banged the hammer and died in this fire.”
Borgos said that this greeting was not enough and bowed his head once again.
“Then please treat me first and then say hello. It’s burdensome…”
-Raon!
Raon shook his head and turned around urgently. Ras also seemed to feel the same and screamed his name.
Quaddududuk!
The space where Balrog died split apart. No, the space itself was roughly torn apart, and a black wave like an abyss surged in.
Quaaaaaaaaa!
Unable to withstand the powerful force that opened the dimension, the underground space exploded violently like a broken window.
Whoa!
I quickly pulled out my Heavenly Sword and blocked the energy wave that exploded from inside the dimension, but its power was so strong that I had no choice but to be pushed back.
Other people were unable to withstand the shock wave that opened the dimension and jumped backwards, hitting their backs against the wall.
“Ugh····”
Raon wiped the blood flowing from the corner of his mouth and lifted his gaze with difficulty.
Coo!
Two red-hot eyes appeared in the gap of the pitch-black space.
An eerie gaze that seemed to have been pulled up from the depths of hell. It had a similar appearance to the Balrog that had died a moment ago, but its essence was different.
I felt the absolute majesty looking down on all living people. It felt like my soul was burning just by looking into my eyes.
-Why is that guy here!
Lars screamed as if it made no sense…
‘no way····’
-The King must have said earlier that there was a demon who kicked away the throne of the demon world.
The guy swallowed dry saliva and continued speaking.
-That guy is the leader of the Balrogs at that time, Askara.
