Academy’s Genius Swordmaster

[ 299. Decisive Battle (7) ]

#299

“Three Gods…!”

Marja was stunned. There was a crack at the place where Zaifa hit. Although it was very weak, it was a great thing to do meaningful damage once. A stuttering voice escaped from her gaping mouth.

“Now, Jaipa-sama…wasn’t it the Sword Saint? Why do you think bare hands are stronger…”

“All beastmen are born with ten swords in their hands. No matter how good a weapon is, it is nothing more than a piece of iron compared to this.”

“That’s right. Incredible.”

“I also have new feelings. Until now, the only one who had brought this out was Nabi Roze. Although there are two more strong candidates now.”

Astute Marja noticed that it was a reference to Ronan and Schlieffen. After squeezing her hand a few times, Pin Zaifa winked at her.

“Get out of the way now. It’s going to get in the way.”

“Oh yes.”

Marja backed off. Zaifa’s body swelled again. He roared like a beast and started hitting the stars in succession.

“Kuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa,,,”

“Ugh…!”

The people who were watching covered their ears. Kwaaang! bang! A ghastly crash echoed each time the claws scraped the curtain. It was about five minutes later. Zaifa suddenly stopped attacking and spat out a curse.

“Whoa… Damn it.”

“Come on Jaifa. A hand…!”

A haze was rising over Jaipa’s heated body. Braum’s eyes widened. The grip that was so strong had turned into a rag.

Blood dripped down his bare fingers. I’m sure it wasn’t just Ronan’s blood. When Marja saw a couple of her nails dangling, she cried out in fright.

“Stop this now!

“Get out of the way. not there yet.”

Zypha’s swollen tail was banging on the floor. The crack in front of him was obviously bigger than before, but there was no sign of breaking yet.

“Even if I do this… can’t I?”

Jaifa growled as if he was upset. Through the damaged curtain, the outside scenery could be seen dimly. Something was flashing loudly, but I couldn’t grasp the situation because my vision was narrow and I couldn’t hear the sound.

“I said Vicky.”

“evil!”

puck! Jaifa swung her tail and threw Marya and Braum away. It was the car he was about to attack Gaho again. Suddenly, a boy’s face popped up on the other side of the curtain.

“you?”

Jaifa raised an eyebrow. The red-haired boy was floating in the air with his bare body. It was a face that was very familiar not only to him, but to everyone here. The boy’s face turned white as his eyes met Zaifa’s.

“……!”

A roaring Wear Tiger covered in blood wasn’t much of a spectacle for the heart. The boy who fell down briefly came back up. Marja, who found him belatedly, jumped up.

“Oh Asher?!”

“My God, how is this!”

Braum followed suit and burst out in astonishment. It was undoubtedly Asher. The injuries sustained while defending against the giants’ bombardment seemed to have been healed somehow. Marya, who came running in a month, clung to the protection of the stars.

“Assel! what happened huh? Is everyone okay?!”

“…!”

His face lit up when he saw Marja. Asher began to explain something, gesturing toward Marja. It was the best because not only the voice but also the transmission were blocked.

“What are you talking about now? Can you hear me?”

“No… me too.”

People who couldn’t understand what that meant laughed. It was just like dancing. Mariyaman was the only one who nodded his head and showed signs of understanding.

“aha. I see Yep.”

“hey. What is that kid talking about now?”

“Wait. Try not to interrupt. Ah…that.”

Jaipa, impatient, asked, but Marja waved her hand away and sent him away. Soon, the delivery of opinions was over. Marja, who removed her face from the protection, looked back at the people.

“Good news. He said he would get us out of here. It was a deal that caught the cracks happening.”

“What is it, did Ronan come with you?”

“no. But I guess it will work somehow. Jaipa-sama also had a hard time…”

Marya murmured. It was an absurdly strong barrier, but if Asher said it would be possible to break through.

But before that, there was work to be done. Looking around, she approached the female commando who had followed Zaifa. Then, he handed over Leel, who was soundly asleep, and said,

“Wait a minute, please. Be careful.”

“Yes yes?”

“sorry. There are people who will go mad if you leave it to men.”

Marja laughed facelessly. Then, with a worried expression, he looked up at the top floor of the castle. The storm caused by Schlieffen was still raging with no signs of abating. Magic and explosions presumed to be the Archbishop’s skills were echoing in succession.

“Please be safe.”

she whispered softly. Anyway, given Schlieffen’s personality, even if he went to help now, he wouldn’t reap a whirlwind. Now was the time to carry out a double operation with Asher. Raising her greatsword, she walked towards the tent.

“Please step aside. Mr. Zaifa.”

“I don’t think you’re better than me.”

“i know. But now I have to come together with Asher. I can guarantee you that I will be better at this part.”

“That’s true.”

Marja’s voice was full of conviction. Zaifa stepped aside disapprovingly. Marja strode forward and stopped in front of the barrier. Asher was facing her with a tense expression on his face.

“Then I’ll go.”

said Marja. Asher, who read her mouth, nodded. I had to break it down this time.

“Whoa…”

Marja closed her eyes and took a deep breath. A cloud of blue light began to rise from the sword. All the mana that was circulating in the body was directed towards the greatsword. She was aware of her lack of skills, so she invested almost all of her remaining energy into strengthening her body and greatsword.

“…that’s pretty good.”

Zaifa, who watched the scene, shrugged his eyebrows. It was no exaggeration to say that his physical strength alone surpassed that of Ronan or Schlieffen.

Paaa…! Before I knew it, the great sword sucked up all of Marya’s mana. Now, rather than a sword, it had turned into a long, wide beam of light. Taking a deep breath, she grabbed the hilt with both hands. And he threw a slash with all his might.

“Haaaaaaap-!!”

A high-pitched scream resounded. At the same time, Asher, who was on the other side, closed his eyes tightly and threw out his fist. The invisible fist flew in a wide arc and the greatsword struck the same spot at the same time. Kwachaaang-! The cracked part exploded with the sound of glass breaking.

“Unbelievable!”

“It’s broken!”

Those who watched burst into astonishment. The air from the battlefield, which had been blocked, rushed in and flipped their bangs. Asher stuttered and shouted after confirming that the shield was broken.

“Succeeded…! Everyone this way!”

“What…!”

A voice was heard now. Soon after, the bodies of all the commandos rose into the air. Asher beckoned and they were dragged like fish on a hook. The people who came out of the castle shed admiration.

“I really thought I was going to die… I thought I was going to die…!”

“I’m going to be a disciple of Lorhorn, so that’s reasonable.”

No one was sure they would survive. Asher quickly put them behind the allied forces. The injured were gathered and receiving treatment.

“This is done now. For now, I am relieved.”

After confirming that everyone was safe, Asher let out a sigh of relief. Schlieffen hadn’t come out yet, and about half of them had died in the castle, but this was an amazing achievement. Just then, Marja’s voice came from behind.

“Assel!”

“Marya? town…!”

It was the moment Asher turned his head. His leg, held by Marja, rose from the ground. The lips of the two overlapped. Asher’s eyes widened wide.

“……!”

My hair turned white. Marja’s cracked and chapped lips tasted like blood. She put Asher down after about three seconds.

“Are you Ma Ma Ma Mar?”

Asher, who had been frozen, barely opened his mouth. There was still warmth on his lips. Marja smiled and hugged him tightly.

“It was great! You are truly the best wizard!”

“These lips…the lips touched…”

“If it wasn’t for you, we would have all died inside. Really, you…!”

His voice was full of moisture. Asher didn’t say anything, just let out sounds similar to moaning. Wiping the tears off his shoulder, Marja looked up.

“Ugh, I really liked it. Let’s do the rest later.”

“The rest of me?”

Asher froze at the meaningful remark. Marja concluded her speech by sticking out her tongue.

After a brief cheering, it was time to get serious again. While looking around, she was handed over to Daewon again. Asher gasped at the breathtaking beauty.

“You saved me. really.”

“huh. Schlieffen saved it. I can’t wake up, so I think I need to treat it. Is there anywhere I can lie down?”

“These makeshift barracks are over there. But why is my sister’s expression…”

“Huh?”

Asher was looking at Iril with worried eyes. Marja, tilting her head, looked down at her. Iril, who had been sleeping peacefully since the discovery, was moaning in pain.

“Uhhhhhh…”

“What is it? Why are you like this all of a sudden?”

Marja was perplexed. Looking at it, it didn’t look good. Cold sweat ran down his white cheeks. Asher said.

“Let’s go quickly. It’s not serious.”

“huh.”

Marja nodded quickly. The two started running toward the field ward. Zaifa and Braum stood by her side like an escort. Suddenly, Marja’s gaze landed on a battlefield she hadn’t seen before.

“What in the world is that…!”

“I think it was more fun outside.”

Jaifa let out a laugh. There was an indescribable landscape. Huge pits were dug everywhere. More than half of the giants that ran across the sky were lying dead on the floor.

A huge boulder, like a mountain, was suspended in the air. The protection of a hemispherical star formed around a stone block covered the entire Allied camp. It was a different scale from the one that surrounded the headquarters.

But what caught my eye the most was, of course, the super-giant magic circle that appeared in the sky. Even if I combined all the magic circles I had seen before, it didn’t seem as big as that one.

Beyond the layer of clouds that covered the sky thickly, a group of lights reminiscent of lightning flashed. Kurleung! bang! Every time the light burst out, the shock wave that was released shook the heavens and the earth. Marja asked in a trembling voice.

“What the hell happened…? Who built that shield and why are the giants like that…”

“I installed the protection of the stars. It was my son who got rid of those big guys.”

“Kyaaaaaagh!”

I almost dropped this lil. Marja screamed and stopped at the sudden voice that came from in front of her. Breathing out, she lifted her head and raised her eyebrows. A middle-aged man with white hair who looked very much like Ronan stood with his hands behind his back.

“Who are you all? Somehow he looks like Ronan…”

“Yes. I am Cain Ronan’s father.”

“Yeah?!”

The savior nodded. Those who couldn’t see Cain because they were locked up in the castle were astonished. He said.

“Thank you for saving my daughter. From now on, I’ll take care of it, so stop and go rest.”

“I can’t believe you even if you suddenly say that… So is Ronan here too?”

“okay. Right there, fighting for the fate of the world.”

The savior raised his arm and pointed to the sky. Kwaaang-! The light flashed again and a roar rang out. Therefore, everyone who raised their gaze widened their eyes.

If I wasn’t mistaken, it seemed that a huge human figure had been revealed through the flash. Even if it can’t be done, it looks like it’s ten times bigger than the existing giant… Marya, who was breathing heavily, finally opened her mouth.

“Bah, what the hell was that…what the heck was it?”

“I don’t know either. However, the identity is predictable.”

“Identity?”

The savior was silent for a moment. Just watching was straining my body. A long time had already passed, but neither of them showed up. He took a deep breath before opening his mouth.

“He is the king of giants.”
