Academy’s Genius Swordmaster

[ 294. Decisive battle (3) ]

#294

It didn’t take long to clear up the past. Ahayute’s head soared into the sky. Everyone on the battlefield fell silent in shock. Ronan watched his nemesis’ corpse fall with a sad expression.

“What…!”

Abel’s face hardened. It was difficult even for him to cut down the giant with a single sword. Besides, Ahayute was one of the strongest among the two-winged giants.

『Ahayute…!』

『Arrogant man, stop like a rock.』

Before long, the silence was broken. The giants near Ahayute rushed at them. Ronan, who corrected his posture, stuck out his tongue.

“Fuck you.”

He swung his sword as if brushing dirt from his sleeve. I had no intention of fighting in the sky. Chow! The sword energy pouring down along the sword path attacked the giants.

『Keuug…!』

The masses of anticipation, reminiscent of spray, shattered the protection of the stars and hit the bodies of the giants. Blue blood soaked the air. It didn’t inflict fatal wounds, but it was enough to stiffen their bodies.

“Oops.”

bang! Ronan landed on the corpse of Ahayute, who fell first. Even though it was at a height where the body would have been smashed if it was normal, it didn’t matter. As time passed, I realized that the curse was disappearing.

Ahayute’s headless body hung limp like a wet sack. It was an absurdly simple conclusion. The blue blood that flowed from the cut surface was flowing like a river.

“How does it taste, you bald head?”

Ronan spat on it. There was no room for resurrection. Thinking of the resentment he had in his previous life, he wanted to eat raw sashimi right away, but he couldn’t afford it.

Ronan turned around and strode away. His lover was sitting in the middle of the battlefield. Adeshan, who wiped her eyes once, opened her mouth.

“Ronan.”

“I waited a long time.”

Ronan twitched his lips. Caught in the explosion, Adeshan was in a state of disrepair. Blood was dripping from the gaps in the torn uniform.

His trembling hands were still gripping the crossbow. Without much effort, I was able to guess what Adeshan was fighting to the death. The only good thing was that, unlike his previous life, his limbs were intact. Ronan wordlessly took off his coat and draped it over her shoulder.

“Sorry for being late.”

“…ah.”

Tears ran down Adeshan’s cheeks. The feeling of the cloth covering my body was nostalgic and I couldn’t bear it any longer. She opened and closed her eyes repeatedly, squeezing out water, and opened her mouth.

“…what happened?”

It was like seeing someone else. The energy that permeated Ronan’s shoulders was incomparably stronger than before.

It was too radical for a growth that took place in just three days. The huge boulder that appeared with him was still shooting beams at the giants. Ronan scratched the back of his head.

“Ugh. A lot happened.”

There was too much going on to explain here. Ronan, who judged that he couldn’t summarize with his own brain, turned around again. He said, pointing at the giants with the point of his sword.

“I’ll get rid of them first. Wait a minute.”

“Wait, but alone…!”

“are you okay. Not alone.”

Ronan grinned. It was the car Adeshan was about to ask what he was talking about. A familiar cry echoed across the sky.

“Ppaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa~!!”

“Sita?”

Adeshan hurriedly raised her head. In the sky overhead, Sheeta howled with her four wings spread. All the bloodstains that were prevalent on the battlefield were emerging in the form of drops.

Sheeta’s body was spreading mana thick like mist. Red mana covered the battlefield and wrapped around wounded Allied soldiers. Before long, admiration began to pour out from everywhere.

“The four wounds are healing!”

“Did you come back…”

The blood shed returned to her body and her injuries were healing. Some of the soldiers had already experienced Sheeta’s healing magic. The Dreambird’s miraculous blood magic was able to fix it if it wasn’t for serious injuries to the point of death.

“This is… amazing.”

Lorhorn, who was catching his breath, let out a laugh. People’s faces lit up. I wasn’t sure what it was yet, but I could instinctively feel that Ronan had returned and that an opportunity for a reversal had arrived.

Of course, the fact that it is still an urgent situation has not changed. Although Ronan and a huge boulder held the giants back, feather-born familiars still remained on the battlefield.

“Kihehehehehe!”

“Go Oh Ok!”

Colorful familiars were fighting the allied forces. A mixture of roars and screams was heard from all directions. The soldiers who had recovered their morale to some extent raised their weapons.

“Fix your formation! There are still odds!”

“Don’t be intimidated by the small number! We are not defeated by disembodied monsters!”

As Adeshan said, there was nowhere to retreat. It was the car that the battle was about to begin in earnest. thud. An elf woman landed between them.

“I will join you.”

“Are you all…?”

The soldiers were bewildered. His white hair and red eyes were impressive. Long ears that hung almost to her shoulders testified to her noble lineage.

The familiars made of light were charging forward with their teeth and claws. In front of those hideous beasts, the woman’s body looked very thin.

“Ah, lady. Dangerous!”

“damage!”

The soldiers who came to their senses belatedly shouted in bewilderment. But the woman did not escape. While reciting a song-like sentence, she raised her hand toward her familiars. Whoa! A strong wind swept through the enemy camp, enough to turn the ground upside down.

“Kieek…!”

“Kyaaaaa!”

The familiars were swept away by the wind and torn apart. Hundreds of familiars turned into light and disappeared at once. The soldiers’ eyes widened.

“This is…?”

Suddenly, something I hadn’t seen appeared. A huge eagle stood in front of the woman. Winds as sharp as knives swirled around the translucent body. Elcia said slowly stroking the eagle.

“Fight together. High Iran.”

“Pyoo-oo-oh!”

Hilan roared as if in reply. Dozens of gigantic whirlwinds rose from the middle of the crowd of familiars. Then, the surrounding air shuddered, and various spirits came out.

“That spirit?!”

“oh my god. Such a massive summon…!”

The soldiers were frightened. I had never seen or heard of so many spirits. The spirits, which were instantly enchanted, rushed at the familiars.

There were as many familiars as there were giants, but it wasn’t too difficult to summon such a number to Elsia, the best elemental magician. Rather, the familiars who were overwhelmed in numbers began to be pushed out. Since the spirits were not afraid of death like them, the situation began to escalate into a more out of control mess.

“Hairan.”

Abel, who watched the scene, frowned. His gaze rested on the great eagle. The eagle tearing apart the familiars mercilessly was definitely Hiran, the prince of storms.

I had cut off my wings before, but I never thought we would be reunited like this. He shifted his gaze and looked back at Elcia this time. Elcia’s eyes met, and she bowed her head.

“hello. Abel.”

“You look good after betraying the church. You don’t even call me teacher anymore?”

“I never thought of you as a religious leader from the beginning. That doesn’t look very good.”

Elcia smiled. Abel let out a laugh as if it were absurd. He swept his bangs and looked at Ronan and said.

“…So you helped that kid. Then it’s understandable why he suddenly became stronger.”

“It’s not just me.”

“what?”

“I am only an advisor, but there is a separate leading role. How about saying hello?”

Having said that, Elcia turned her back. Abel’s eyebrows narrowed at the incomprehensible sound. With his hand on the hilt of the sword, he was about to jump off the watchtower. A familiar voice came from not far away.

“It’s been a while. Abel.”

“older brother?”

Abel’s eyes widened. It was unmistakably Cain’s voice. I hurriedly turned around in the direction from which the sound had come, and I saw a stone flying in the sky.

The boulder was still keeping the giants in check by striking its beams in all directions. I could feel it instinctively. Cain was in that stone. Abel, who had calmed down his emotions, opened his mouth.

“…were you alive?”

It was impossible. The wound stabbed by his own sword could never be healed by ordinary means. Before long, Cain’s answer came back.

“okay. Thanks to taking good care of my brother and son. Your blood saved me.”

“My blood? Where did you get that…ah.”

Abel, who was about to say something, raised his eyebrows. The battle I had with Irill in the Islands flashed through my mind. A few drops of blood had been spilled from the sudden surprise.

“Yeah… I can see what happened.”

He seemed to know the situation. It must have been because of that that the location of the headquarters was discovered. Abel, who grasped the situation in an instant, smiled bitterly. He stared at the boulder and said in a tone of astonishment.

“But I didn’t know that you would bring it to that ship. Didn’t you say that someday, when the stars are about to perish, they will be used as arks?”

“It was. However, looking at the current situation, it seems that a battleship would be more suitable than an ark. Originally, things are meant to be used for their intended purpose.”

“It is a futile resistance, brother. To waste the legacy of the most brilliant era like this… Do you really think you have a chance?”

said Abel. The sky was still covered with a magic circle that summoned giants. As long as the ceremony of the archbishops did not stop, the giants would descend without cease.

Furthermore, the head temple where the ceremony was in progress was protected by the protection of the stars he had set up himself. The most powerful people in the allied forces have become trapped inside, waiting for death. And if he went out immediately, he would be able to deal with the decrepit Cain or the old battleship in an instant.

“really?”

Abel asked. A breath of life flowed over his shoulder, making it difficult to even breathe. Although the unexpected happened, the situation was still in favor of the Church.

Cain didn’t answer. Abel raised an eyebrow. It seemed that he had gradually grasped the subject.

I guess I’ll have to put my hopes on this one. Having judged that, Abel grabbed the hilt of the sword. Faaaaa…! Intense sunset light burst from the middle of the battlefield.

“Kuk.”

Abel reflexively covered his eyes. It was a flash so intense that it burned my retinas. It was before he said anything. The giants who were orbiting the sky began to fall all at once.

“What is this…!”

Abel sighed. It was an unbelievable sight to see. bang! Quaang! There was a roaring sound every time the huge body crashed into the ground.

He urgently averted his gaze and looked at the source of the light. A young man who looked just like him, with no bulging hair, stood with his sword drawn.

The glow of the sunset emanated from the blade. bang! One staggering giant fell to the ground again. Cain’s reply came back.

“okay. I think we can win.”
