Academy’s Genius Swordmaster

[ 296. Decisive battle (5) ]

#296

A piercing sound rang out. Even when he cut off the scales of Navardoze, which had never been broken before, the sword, which had not been damaged, shattered. Abel’s face contorted sharply.

“Nonsense.”

It was like having a terrible nightmare. But there was no time to be out of ice. Even though Ronan broke his sword, he did not stop. He rushed right in and lowered his sword vertically and cut it.

“Get lost!”

Even if I wanted to block or counter it, I didn’t have a sword. Abel narrowly avoided the attack by twisting his shoulder. shhh! La Mancha’s blade glided past the nostrils.

“damn…!”

“How can I avoid it?”

Ronan continued to pour sword strikes. Abel, who had been dodging by a piece of paper, gritted his teeth. Unlike himself, who was getting more and more out of breath, Ronan showed no sign of exhaustion.

‘Is this a long way off yet?’

It wasn’t very good. He had two cards left to turn things around, including Irill, but it was useless if he died before he could even turn the cards over.

I had to fight. I had no choice but to pray that there would be a single gap. Abel, who took one step back, eventually stood with his back against the wall. Suddenly, Ronan’s body turned sharply to the right.

“Your delusion ends here!”

“……!”

cried Ronan. Abel’s eyes widened. I thought it was a finishing blow, but the big movement was noticeable. Seeing the empty side, he let out a low laugh.

“You are still young.”

“what?”

Ronan frowned. Abel lowered his body and gathered strength in his hand.

Like Ronan, he never forgot a skill once experienced. La Mancha, which flew in a wide arc, passed by, cutting off Abel’s hair. Cain, who was watching the battle, urgently shouted.

“Ah son, it’s dangerous!”

“late. Didn’t my older brother teach me not to use the same technique!”

Ronan’s side was still empty. Abel threw his hands together like a spear. Although weak, it was enough to shatter the kid’s ribs and burst his heart.

“this…!”

Ronan hurriedly turned his head. Abel’s hand was flying towards his heart. Suddenly, one corner of his mouth lifted.

“This asshole.”

“uh?”

Abel paused. His hand was about to touch Ronan’s. bang! Ronan hit the ground and jumped vertically.

“What!”

“Did you think I didn’t know that too?”

Abel sighed. He later realized that he had been tricked. phut! At the same time as the attack missed, a hollow piercing sound rang out.

“you…!”

The shadow Ronan created cast over his face. There was no room left to escape. Ronan twisted his sword in the air and swung his sword around the lot. Chow ah! Abel’s right arm, which had been withdrawn, rose into the air.

“Ah!”

“Finally got it. rat.”

Abel screamed. Ronan, who landed on the floor straight away, raised his sword diagonally and cut it. Awesome! Before he had time to do anything, the slash that flew through Abel’s throat cut through.

“Huh…!”

Abel fell forward, clutching his neck. I couldn’t breathe properly. It felt like my neck bones and blood vessels had been cut in half.

Blood was seeping out from the cracks between the fingers holding the wound. Neither human nor giant, his blood took on a grotesque purple color.

“Fuck. How are you alive?”

Ronan raised his eyebrows. He was decapitated, but still alive, he was a monster. Of course, there was nothing special about it, so he silently raised his sword. Cut it one more time.

“Gagging…no…at this rate…!”

Abel struggled as if pleading, but that was not Ronan’s business. It was the car he was about to land the final blow on.

Aaaah-! Suddenly, a roaring sound reverberated overhead.

“What is Nimi?”

It was not a sound that could be ignored. An indescribable ominous aura oppressed his entire body. Everyone, including Ronan, reflexively raised their heads.

“What is that?”

“The magic circle…”

Ronan looked up at the sky and raised his eyebrows. The first sight in my life was unfolding. Dozens of magic circles connecting the world of giants and this world were slowly disintegrating.

However, it did not seem to disappear completely. The elements of the magic circle, which were divided into letters and pictures, swirled in a huge circle and began to draw another magic circle.

It didn’t look like anything good would happen. The clouds that had disappeared were gathering again. The savior looked up at the sky and clenched his fists.

“That’s…!”

A thunderclap began to growl in the white cloud. With each flash of lightning-like flash, something gigantic was glimpsed from inside the magic circle.

It looked like wings, and it looked like human limbs. The giants that were attacking the battleship Dynhar stopped all at once. One of the silent giants slowly opened his mouth.

『He is coming.』

****

“Heh-euk…isn’t it still…heh?!”

“Now it is soon.”

Schlieffen replied dryly. Even though he ran the same distance, he wasn’t breaking a drop of sweat. Marya, grinning at this, added strength to her legs.

“shit…!”

It was fortunate that the armor stopped shaking my chest. The three of them were running towards the top of the Pale Castle.

It was also the place where the ritual to call the giant was held and the place where Irill was supposed to be trapped. Schlieffen’s method of interrogation, in which he cut off the limbs of the believers one by one until the desired answer came out, was not bad.

It was so large that it took a long time. The road they passed was strewn with dismembered corpses like a mountain. It was a human wall that tired Marya and Braum, who were confident in their physical strength. said Marja.

“By the way… Heck, what happened to Iril unnie as the saint of these fanatics?”

“I don’t know about that either… Huuk.”

Braum shook his head. Somehow, when they found out the truth of the incident, they fell into considerable shock. The reason for kidnapping Iril was to make her a saint of the church.

Of course, no one raised any suspicions of betrayal. All of them had met Erill before. However, since it was such a strange case, I really wanted to know the truth.

“Now, the blood is slowly running out, so it’s a big deal… We’ll have to hurry up and make a decision.”

“I know.”

Braum muttered in a worried voice. Marja bit her lower lip. As he said, Ronan’s blood was slowly draining out.

Schlieffen was in a similar situation, though he did not say it. This was a very serious matter, because the protection of the stars was not something that could be destroyed just because of their excellent skills.

If he didn’t care, he could have been defeated by janitors who barely knew how to use God’s protection. No one wanted that ending, so they silently sped up. It was the moment when the three of them finally reached the top floor and stepped into the hallway. Braum’s eyes widened.

“Everybody is in danger!”

“what?”

It was the car Marja was about to say. Braum, who blocked the way, raised his shield. At the same time, a huge explosion exploded with a roar. Kwaaaang-! Clouds of flame and lightning covered the entire landscape in front of the shield.

“Keugh…!”

“Braum!”

Braum gritted it. It felt like my arm would be ripped off. If he had been a little late, he would have been in big trouble. At that moment, someone’s voice was heard from the place where the explosion had subsided.

“Is this blocked?”

“Who are you!”

Concentrating her mind, Marya swung her greatsword wide. Wow-! As soon as the crescent moon-shaped sword was fired, all the smoke that covered the hallway flew away. A slim man appeared.

“I thought Zaifa was stuck…I’m really unlucky too.”

“You…”

Marja narrowed her brows. Judging by the badge on the hem of his sleeve, he was a bishop-level strongman. The man with his hands behind his back widened his eyes.

“My dear ones. Did you dare to come here knowing where it was?”

“Kuh…!”

Marja and Braum shrugged. The blood flowing from the man’s body was unusual. It was a level that was incomparable to the believers he had dealt with so far.

“Aren’t I asking? Couldn’t you have come here because you got lost?”

When there was no answer, the man asked in annoyance. Lightning and flames like the one he had just seen shimmered around him. Marja and Braum quickly exchanged glances. There was a chance of winning by driving strategically.

“If I signal, I will go.”

“I get it.”

Marja grabbed the hilt. It was the car Braum nodded and was preparing to run away. Schlieffen, who had been silently scanning the hallway, opened his mouth.

“Is there a ritual going on over there?”

“what?”

The man frowned. Schlieffen’s gaze rested on the huge door behind him. There was nowhere else to go up, so if the information wasn’t wrong, the ritual must have been going on there.

“I asked if there was a ceremony going on to call the giants from beyond.”

“…Ah, what a bold kid. I get it. That’s why you came all the way here.”

The man let out a laugh. Judging by his attitude, he seemed to be able to ease his boredom a little. Well, it wasn’t unreasonable to be overconfident in one’s skills if he had been praised as the morning star of the empire.

As the next archbishop, he was confident that he would never lose. I heard that several archbishops were killed by him, but there were always variables like Ronan and Zaifa by Schlieffen’s side at the time.

However, the people next to him did not seem to be talented enough. You can play with Zaifa until he comes. The man who thought so opened his mouth.

“Sorry, but no. If it was such an honorable task, I would have been happy to take it. I’m going to ask the goddamn soon-to-be archbishop to take care of a bitch…”

“…What?”

“They said it was to take care of the girl. let’s play a little bit I was bored too…”

It was the car the man was trying to talk to. Suddenly Schlieffen’s figure disappeared from sight. It was before he could even respond. Whoa…! I thought I could hear the wind blowing, but Schlieffen appeared behind me.

“what…!”

“Thank you for letting me know.”

Schlieffen said. In his hand was a longsword that was emitting a bluish light. The man tried to turn his head, but his body did not move. Several red lines were drawn over his hardened body.

“Big…billion.

“But I can’t forgive her for calling her low.”

clap. Leading Schlieffen concluded his words. At the same time, the dismembered body collapsed. Kwajangchang! The limbs frozen by the fail load shattered the moment they collided with the floor. Schlieffen immediately struck out and swung his sword at the door.

bang! At the same time as the door was broken, the scenery inside was revealed. It was a splendid room like a princess would stay. A huge chair reminiscent of a throne was placed in the middle.

And on the chair sat a familiar woman, soundly asleep. Although he was dressed differently, he was clearly the person he was looking for. Schlieffen’s eyes widened. He slowly approached and opened his mouth.

“…Ms. Lee.”
