The Reincarnated Assassin is a Genius Swordsman

ttomless pit of a throat.
It was Flame Breath.

Whoosh!

Although Raon could’ve easily endured it if it had been an ordinary red dragon turtle’s breath, the heat coming from that monster’s breath was so intense that it was difficult to breathe.

“Huff!”

Raon stomped the ground and thrust his sword.
The energy from the Ten Thousand Flames Cultivation imbued in his blade rotated in a spiral to form into a crimson saw blade.
It was the Ten Flames, Revolving Sky.

Baaam!

A huge explosion occurred between Raon and the red dragon turtle, creating a whirlwind of heat.

“Tsk.”

Raon briefly clicked his tongue.
Its tremendous power matched his full power Revolving Sky.

‘But it’s sloppy.’

Likely because it had gained power in a short period of time, it wasn’t able to control it properly.
Raon bent the Revolving Sky to distort the direction of the breath, then used River Footwork.

Whir!

His left foot extended through the flame wall.
The red dragon turtle’s side could be seen in that short instant.

He used the momentum of his body to slash down immediately.
A fierce blow that could even destroy a boulder struck the red dragon turtle’s side.

Spurt!

The raging blade slashed, created a shallow cut through the red dragon turtle’s flesh and scattering red blood around the area.

“Kwooo!”

The red dragon turple screamed in irritation, extending its snout.
Raon dodged the flame coming from its mouth, then tried to strike it again.

The red dragon turtle’s body turned red, and the injury from the cut a moment ago recovered, as if it had been stitched by a thread.

“I-It’s hardening! You shouldn’t hit it! Your sword will break!”

Harren’s voice could be heard from behind him.

‘Hardening.’

Hardening was one of the red dragon turtle’s characteristics, a defensive ability that allowed it to create a hardness similar to its shell on its skin.

‘I still have to attack.’

If he didn’t attack, he wouldn’t be able to tell how sturdy it was.
Raon filled his blade with the Ten Thousand Flames Cultivation’s fire and attacked.

Clang!

The sword bounced back because of its powerful defense.
It felt like he was hitting tempered steel instead of flesh.
It wasn’t just the power—it also had a defensive ability that had become incomparable from before.

“Kwooo!”

It was apparently still painful, since the red dragon turtle stomped the ground while glaring fiercely at him.
The ground was mercilessly cracked apart, and flame walls surged from the fissure.

Whir!

The red dragon turtle continuously breathed fire, and the grass and trees of Skellei Mountain ignited despite being somewhat resistant to fire.
An inextinguishable forest fire was going to occur if it continued.

“Runaan!”

“Mhm!”

Runaan didn’t need him to say any more than that.
She grabbed Harren by his collar and stepped aside, gathering her ice.

“Whir!

The silver ice poured out like snowflakes, erasing the spreading fire.

The King of Essence told you before.
That turtle is an irregular, just like you.
You won’t be able to defeat it so easily.

‘That’s even better.’

What?

‘It’s a perfect target for practice.’

Raon smiled and charged towards the right side of the red dragon turtle.

“Kwooo!”

Flame gushed from the red dragon turtle as it roared.
Raon deflected it, then removed the Ten Thousand Flames Cultivation and started using Glacier.
He imbued his cold blade with the principles of speed.

Clang!

The silver strike managed to pierce through the red dragon turtle’s skill a little bit more, but it was still pushed back before it could finish breaking through its hardening.

“Krrr!”

The red dragon turtle squirmed in anger, its tail swinging.
The flame that surrounded the tail became an iron mace, blasting the land.

‘Its attacks are too simple.’

Although the heat and strength were powerful enough to block attacks, the trajectory was too simple.
It was just chasing after him with its eyes.
Raon pushed the exploding wall of flame back and turned to the red dragon turtle’s back.

Cring!

He made a new combination of principles of his quick sword, striking a second time.
The smooth line of coldness emerging from the blade charged at the red dragon turtle’s skin, which was glowing from the heat.

Rip!

A strike that surpassed the red dragon turtle’s cognition pierced into its flesh a bit deeper.
The wound was extremely small when compared to its huge body, but it apparently didn’t agree with that.

“Kwaaa!”

The red dragon turtle raised its heavy body and started to swing its tail like crazy.

Slam! Slaam!

Whenever the burning tail reached the land, the mountain trembled like it would collapse.
Raon gradually grew cornered, the stable pieces of land disappearing.

“Krr!”

The red dragon turtle was apparently convinced of its victory.
It grinned and used its flame breath once again.

Whooooosh!

The flame breath seemed capable of melting anything.
Right before it reached Raon, he stepped on a piece of ground even smaller than his fist and advanced.
The absolute footwork that allowed him to move anywhere as long as he could set foot on allowed him to dash through the burning land.

“Kwoooo!”

The red dragon turtle hurriedly stopped its breath, trying to swing its tail—but it was already too late.
The extremely quick all-out strike had already reached it before it could even move its tail.

Clang!

Since the tail was also affected by hardening, Raon couldn’t completely cut it off.
However, the injury it created was visibly bigger than before, thanks to the quick sword technique that he had managed to advance to another level.

Spurt!

Red blood gushed from the wound.

“Kieee!”

The red dragon turtle quickly turned around, swinging its front foot.
The pressure felt like a boulder was falling on him, and the heat seemed to be able to melt him to the bone.

‘This isn’t a big deal.’

Although the sword of coldness started to move later, it was the first one to connect.
Raon deflected the blow before the red dragon turtle’s front foot managed to gain power and speed.

“Krrr!”

Its huge body was pushed back.
It looked like being blocked by an extremely small human hurt its pride, as an intense killing intent appeared in its eyes.

“Don’t tell me this is all you’ve got.”

Raon smiled in excitement, breathing white steam from his mouth.

“I still have lots of things to try out.”

Each time he pummeled the solid body with the new quick technique, he could feel his sword getting faster and stronger.
He could see infinite ways of making it stronger.

“Kwoooo!”

The red dragon turtle roared, looking at the sky.
The flame burst from the land like a sticky volcano and engulfed its body.

Whir!

The extreme firepower surging from the ground covered the red dragon turtle’s entire body.
Its existence itself was raised to another level.
That was apparently its true form after it had devoured so much geothermal heat.

It ate so damn much.

‘I know, right?’

The energy wave coming from it was almost at Master level from sucking so much heat from the land.

“D-Don’t go! You need to use at least astral energy to cut through a monster like that!”

Harren’s voice could be heard, trying to ruin the mood.
Raon waved him off, claiming that there wasn’t a problem, and lowered his posture.

“I just gotta fight with what I’ve got.”

Raon violently kicked the ground, charging towards the red dragon turtle that had literally turned into flame.

* * *

The red dragon turtle swung its burning front foot.
Raon deflected it by slashing it before it reached him.
One principle sprouted in his mind.

He slashed upward towards the tail, which had an iron mace attached to it.
The powerful shock crushed his shoulder, but he kept advancing.
One principle was erased.

The fire burning on its shell became a rain shower, falling onto him.
He poured all of the quick sword techniques that he’d been making so far into his attack.
Two principles disappeared, and four principles mingled with each other.

The clash between fire and ice created a huge amount of steam, covering the entire area.
He would be too slow if he relied on his vision.
He focused on his senses, using the Ten Thousand Flames Cultivation like an ocean of perception to control the blade of ice.

His focus increased to a frightening degree.
He could feel the flow of everything, including his and his enemy’s breath, as if it were touching his skin.

He slashed at the flame, slashed at the iron mace, and slashed at the shell.

The more he swung his sword, the faster it got, and the coldness grew more intense.
The principles mingled and mixed with each other, and he ended up forgetting what technique he was even using.

“Krrr…”

The red dragon turtle, which was huge enough to cover the sun, kept getting pushed back by the small and thin blade despite its size.
Fear and terror appeared in the eyes of the monster that was moving with nothing but instinct.

“Kwaaaaaa!”

The red dragon turtle roared and the entire land burst into flame.
It pulled its head back, then pushed forward to breathe out all the flames it had accumulated so far.

Whir!

As if what had happened so far had been nothing but a child’s play, Raon’s entire vision was filled with raging fire.

Cring!

The rings of fire resonated with each other and slowed down the world.

The principles of the quick sword filling his head meshed with each other like cogs, and his mind was struck by lightning.

A single line severing the world.
It was a flash of extreme quickness, faster than anything, capable of reaching its target before anyone else.

Raon’s hand moved before he realized it.
A silver trajectory surged in front of the raging firestorm.

Raon Zieghart-style technique.

First Form.

The green light glimmering from Raon’s blade severed through the crimson world.
