Academy’s Genius Swordmaster

270. Extermination (2)

#270

“I think you should step up.”

The Shadow Grand Duke said. The shadow cast over his pale face was impressive. He seemed to be going through a lot of difficulties even though he was a man who took care of himself. Ronan, who was lying down, raised his upper body.

“What is it, did the teacher come out?”

“no. Two Archbishops appeared. We couldn’t even break through the defenses. The damage to our allies is not the only one.”

The Shadow Grand Duke briefly explained the situation. It is said that two archbishops suddenly appeared from the depths of the mountains, and the allied forces took three of the occupied bases. Ronan frowned.

“It’s been quiet lately, but you finally came out. But I didn’t drink it, but applied it and hit it, but it doesn’t work?”

“okay. Even if I hit it with a sword coated with the undiluted solution, it didn’t even leave a single scratch.”

The Shadow Grand Duke clicked his tongue. It didn’t show, but I could see that his pride was very hurt. After all, like Orsay, he was a man who lived his whole life unaware of defeat. said Ronan.

“I must go. Anyway, since it’s undiluted, it feels a bit strange. I’m not even Juice.”

“It’s similar to us. What’s worse anyway is that they’re buying time. There must be secret passages all over the mountains, but at this rate, I might miss many of them.”

The Archduke was worried about the possibility of Nebula Clazie’s escape. It was enough. Even if the leaves and stems are burned, the roots remain alive. Ronan stood up.

“Call me a little faster.”

Whoop! He pulled out the tube that had been stuck in his arm. Didican said that it would be a big problem if you carelessly pulled it out, but it didn’t matter because the wound healed quickly. The blood that had been flowing for a while stopped immediately.

“thanks.”

“Come on. I was still frowning, but it turned out well.”

Ronan followed the Prince of Shadows out of the tent. A cold north wind blew in. Allied barracks and the Felgrand Mountains, engulfed in war, unfolded in front of them.

The Felgrand Mountains, which were being attacked at the same time as the Eastern Pansia Fortress, were one of the largest branches of the Church. It was no exaggeration to say that the entire rugged mountain range covered with rocks and conifers was the fortress of Nebula Klazie.

“Dirty bastards.”

Ronan spat out a curse. I was wasting more than 15 days here alone. All kinds of shouts and screams were mixed in the darkness of the night.

“It’s fortunate that it’s not too far north, though.”

After saying that, Ronan put on his coat. Being in the north, the temperature was low even in early summer. Every time he spoke or breathed, white breath came out and crumbled.

Still thinking of Heiran and the sea of ghosts made my balls shrink. It is a sea of ghosts. Suddenly recognizing that the savior’s lifespan was short, Ronan twitched his lips.

‘About half a year left.’

In order to save the world perfectly and learn the secret of birth, the savior had to be saved. And in order to save the savior, the blood of Abel was needed.

Although he was exchanging letters with Elcia on a regular basis, there was no particular improvement in his symptoms.

Fortunately, at this rate, it was likely that he would reach the religious leader sooner or later. The blacksmiths who collaborated with the vampires figured out how to use Ronan’s blood in addition to applying it to their weapons, and they were actually making great progress. The Shadow Grand Duke said.

“Then we will go first.”

“ok. Don’t die and wait.”

Ronan waved his hand. The body of the Shadow Grand Duke was wrapped in darkness and disappeared. Would you like to go then? When he turned his head, he saw Sheeta sitting quietly looking down at him.

“Subtract.”

“It’s hard to look up. Who wants to grow up like this?”

Ronan smiled. Although he grew enormously in size, his bright eyes still had a cute taste.

Seeing Ronan’s eyes, Sheeta lowered her head on her own. Ronan, sitting on the long neck, said while stroking the soft fur.

“let’s go. friend.”

“Knock it!”

Sheeta spread her four wings and flew up. Despite its massive size, Sheeta’s takeoff was ghostly calm. The soldiers in the barracks cheered in unison.

“Oh, are you going directly!”

“Okay, give me a shot and come!”

To them, Ronan was already more than a hero. Regardless of class or position, there was no one who did not know Ronan’s name.

Ronan responded to his encouragement by lightly raising his hand. Hwaaak-! Sheeta, who had reached the edge of the mountain range with just one flap of her wings, roared loudly.

“Pal-haaa-!”

At the same time, blood sprinkled across the mountain range began to flow to Sheeta. Countless drops of blood shot up into the sky, just like rain falling backwards.

It was the secret to explosive growth. The war cost a lot of blood, and it was all Sheeta’s. Sheeta’s black, fluffy feathers gorgedly absorbed all the blood, but they did not get wet and remained shiny. After the absorption, Sheeta smiled with satisfaction.

“Pal ha ha!”

“Eat in moderation, man. What if I get bigger here?”

Ronan lightly pinched Sheeta’s neck. Of course it wasn’t sincere. It’s already too late to raise them at home, so what if they grow up?

Ronan and Sheeta arrived at their destination in less than five minutes. High up in the air, the center of the mountain range was clearly visible on the horizon.

The Shadow Grand Duke was waiting in the air with his subordinates. Dozens of vampires in black combat uniforms lined up around the Archduke. He greeted Ronan.

“Have you come?”

“yes. It seems pretty sturdy.”

Ronan looked down at his feet and whistled. It wasn’t like he called himself for nothing. The center of the mountain range was covered with the protection of a star that was different from anything I had seen before.

The hemispherical curtain was shimmering in an intermediate color between purple and red. Even with the naked eye, it seemed thick enough to be indestructible by normal means. Ronan asked.

“Do you have more troops to rush in?”

“The 1 4 12 commander and his subordinates are in charge of the siege. You’ll probably be able to enter as soon as the shield is destroyed. I managed to avoid being caught by their detection nets and deployed my troops.”

“aha. Adeshan is gone.”

Ronan nodded. The 4th Field Commander referred to Adeshan. Showing remarkable prowess in mock battles despite her young age, she was appointed commander of the Allied Forces shortly after the clearing operation began.

Although the number of troops in charge was small, the units she led boasted the highest win rate among allied forces. It was a history that had not yet happened here, but there was no way the talent used to become a general could go anywhere. Ronan, feeling somewhat better, looked back at the Grand Duke and said.

“Then let’s go right away. Follow me.”

“Wait, so reckless…!”

“I’ll try to get rid of one, so catch the other one.”

fault! Suddenly, Ronan jumped off Sheeta’s back. As if waiting, Sheeta’s body bent down with her wings folded.

“wait!”

The vampires, who were dumbfounded for a moment, also began to descend after him. With his hand on the hilt of his sword, Ronan looked down at the rapidly approaching mountain range.

The sound of the wind howling in my ears was harsh. A man and a woman in extravagantly colorful robes caught my eye in the back of the turbid station field.

“Fucking bastards.”

Suddenly, a fire broke out. If it wasn’t for those things, he would be enjoying the Fairy Night Festival in Phileon by now. Giggling stupidly with friends or gazing at the stars with Adeshan in her festive attire.

Ronan gritted it. I couldn’t even fathom how many people would have been deprived of their daily happiness. Arriving in front of the tent, he pulled the hilt of the sword. Sugak! As La Mancha drew a cheerful arc, the star’s protection shattered.

“what…!”

The eyes of the Grand Duke of Shadow widened. Archbishop Alicia, who sensed the change, hurriedly raised her head. The protection of the stars that he had trained all his life was crumbling. Black shadows were pouring over their heads.

“Wait kailasis!”

It was the car she was about to shout. Chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh! Ronan’s sword, descending with a red tail, slashed Archbishop Kailasis from the top of his head to his groin in one blow.

****

“…As expected, it can’t compare to the original. Like you said, I should have called you earlier.”

The Grand Duke of Shadow exclaimed. Even the high-nosed vampires couldn’t hold back their admiration. The section that had been stagnant for four days was cleared in just two hours. Ronan groaned.

“You said that. Call me early.”

He was kicking a corpse strewn at his feet, covered in blood. It was a guy named Kailasis who was cut in half at the same time as the war started. The notorious archbishop, who ate more than a thousand allied soldiers, has been reduced to a teaching aid that, no matter how long or long he flies, is useless against surprise attacks.

The allied forces rushed in as soon as the protection of the stars was broken. Archbishop Alicia fought desperately, but could not stand the onslaught of Ronan and the Prince of Shadows and retreated deep into the mountains. The long, long siege of Felgrand was also running towards the end.

“hey. Quite right.”

“Balzac.”

Then a familiar voice came from behind. Ronan turned his head and shrugged his eyebrows. Balzac, the younger brother of the Grand Duke of Shadow, was approaching with a clatter.

“I’m sorry, but I have to admit it. you are stronger than me now I can’t believe it’s the kid from before.”

“That is an honor.”

“Why don’t you just stop drawing blood and go to the front line? I think it will make things easier that way.”

“If these bastards aren’t scattered all over the continent, they’ve done that long ago.”

Ronan shook his head. As Balzac said, Ronan was like a spear that pierced any shield. Of course, if he fought on the frontlines, good results would come out, but the location of the headquarters of the religious leader was unclear to adopt such a strategy.

‘We have to pull out the roots.’

The large number of still extant branches also made it impossible to use the strategy. Allied forces who did not receive the diluted solution using Ronan’s blood could not penetrate the protection of the stars. Contemplating something, Balzac snapped his fingers.

“Oh, come to think of it, didn’t you say you have a sister? Why don’t you leave the blood drawing to her?”

“what?”

For an instant, Ronan’s eyebrows twitched. Adeshan, who was watching the conversation between the two nearby, sighed. Somehow, I had an ominous feeling.

“it’s okay. Since your body is small, there won’t be much blood coming out.”

“Why don’t you try and try? If it was your blood relative, it would have the same effect. The more blood available, the better the situation.”

“Tell me about your sister. I told you before the fight, Navardoze-nim.”

Ronan took a deep breath and opened his mouth. There were veins on his forehead, but this was enough to keep his composure. Balzac smacked his lips at the stubborn refusal.

“is it. Too bad.”

“I am enough alone. After resting, let’s follow suit.”

“It is. But I’m really sorry. I was wondering what your sister’s blood tasted like hahahaha!”

Suddenly, Balzac burst into a hearty laugh. Something snapped in Ronan’s head. I knew with my reason that it was a joke, but my hand was already gripping the hilt.

“hey.”

“Yes? Why?”

For an instant, Ronan stopped. As Balzac turned around, his sword was drawn out. It was the moment when La Mancha, which flew in at a speed beyond recognition, was about to cut Balzac’s tongue. Suddenly, someone hugged Ronan from the side.

“Ro Ronan!”

“…Adeshan?”

Ronan’s arm stopped. Adeshan was looking at him with an awkward smile.

Balzac’s eyes widened. The sword that was clearly in the scabbard was shining brightly in front of his face.

“You bastard…”

He couldn’t understand why the sword was pointed at him. It was the car that Balzac was about to argue with in an angry voice. The silent Grand Duke of Shadow opened his mouth.

“Shut up. Balzac.”

“older brother?”

“Because the 4th Field Commander saved you. I apologize on behalf of my brother Ronan’s rudeness.”

Suddenly, the Grand Duke walked in front of Ronan and lowered his head. Ronan swept his bangs once and nodded.

“Don’t do that. A person who is equal to a grand duke.”

“Will you accept my apology?”

“of course. I was so excited too.”

“Thank you.”

The Shadow Grand Duke smiled. He headed to the corner with Balzac, who was making an expression that he would die of regret. Taking a deep breath again, Ronan looked back at Adeshan.

“…thank you. I have to kill this guy’s personality.”

“No, it could be. A letter came and I came to deliver it.”

“A letter?”

“huh. In the island…would you like to see it?”

Adeshan smiled and took out an envelope from his bosom. Ronan’s eyes widened as he received the letter.

“…Is that a letter from your sister?”
