Academy’s Genius Swordsman

#303

『Your blood smells like the previous king.』

“What?”

Ronan frowned. I couldn't understand what kind of bullshit this bald guy was talking about all of a sudden. The king continued.

『For some reason, I thought the dragon power of mortals was at an absurd level. It is clear that that power was taken away.』

“So what kind of nonsense is that… ah.”

Ronan, who was about to swear, raised his eyebrows. I don't know if it was a good king or a damn thing, but I felt like I knew what the king was talking about.

A giant buried deep in the Sea of ​​Ghosts. The eight-winged giant who removed Ronan's curse looked very similar to the king in front of him. Ronan said.

“Are you talking about a guy with eight wings like you?”

The king's eyes widened. It was the first time I saw a change in facial expression. He raised his great sword and aimed it at Ronan.

『The previous king came to this planet tens of thousands of years ago and disappeared. The most powerful warrior in the history of our race. Now speak. “What kind of despicable trick did you use to assassinate him?”

“I didn’t do that.”

“gibberish. Then who dared to do such a thing?』

Ronan narrowed his eyes. There was no way he knew something that even the savior didn't know. When I saw it before, the scars left on the body made it seem like it had been murdered by something, but there was no clear culprit.

'What the fuck do I know?'

But I felt like I could take advantage of this opportunity if I did it right. Ronan thought for a moment and then opened his mouth.

“Hmm, I guess I’ll remember…”

Ronan trailed off. It wasn't for continuing the conversation. In the first place, he was not very interested in information about the late king.

『If you don't want to die here, you'd better think of it quickly.』

“Umm…so…”

The king spoke in a threatening tone. The flesh oozing from the large body was stinging my skin. Ronan's body, which had been moving slowly, had already fallen to the level of his shins.

I thought this would be a good location. Ronan, who had been drooling exaggeratedly on purpose, clapped his hands with all his might. match-! A cheerful sound echoed across the sky.

“Ah, I remembered!!”

『···!』

The tip of the great sword shook slightly due to the sudden action. Ronan caught the momentary gap and grabbed the hilt of the sword.

'now.'

He twisted his waist and threw the sword with all his might. La Mancha left his hand and was shot under the king's chin. Pow-! A shock wave was generated behind the sword body that exceeded the speed of sound. La Mancha, who drank a lot of blood, became sharp enough to tear and dig into the king's skin.

『It's foolish.』

But the king was not a soft opponent. Just as the sword was about to touch the neck, eight wings unfolded at once.

Whoa! As the wind blew, the king's body moved to the side. La Mancha, which had been extending in a straight line, disappeared into the night sky. Ronan sighed.

“ah!”

『I can't believe I lost the opportunity to live a little longer. I cannot understand the inferiority of mortals.』

Ronan, who lost his auror, began to fall headlong to the ground. The king sighed after hearing the desperate screams. White light began to rise from the hilt of the great sword.

『Well, that's enough, just disappear.』

It was a pretty annoying opponent, but that was the end of it. The king, who had decided to blow Ronan to this place, was about to swing his great sword. Ronan, who was in the midst of falling, raised his arms toward the air.

“Reach!”

“hmm?”

It was my first time trying to gamble. The heat rising through his heart dyed Ronan's hands scarlet. Paaaa…! The rays of light fired in a straight line reached La Mancha, dividing the night sky in the distance.

“Seo, successful!”

Ronan, who felt the touch of being caught, cried out in pleasure. It was my first time using my body as a medium to activate my aura, but I had no idea it would actually work.

In fact, the really important thing started now. La Mancha changed direction and turned the tip of his sword towards Ronan. The king was still hovering above his head.

“Haaaab!!

Ronan, with great enthusiasm, bent his arms as if pulling. Until the end, the king did not notice Ronan's intentions. Wow! La Mancha flew like a comet and pierced his neck.

『Gagging!』

Blue blood poured out from the open mouth. chuck! The hilt of La Mancha's sword, which had fully returned, was placed in Ronan's hand. Rin's voice muttering, “You're such a crazy person,” echoed in my head. Ronan twisted the sword and raised his middle finger.

“How does it taste, you bald guy?”

『Kuh, what is this…』

The king's face distorted for the first time. I guess I didn't expect it to come out like this. He was holding his neck with his left hand and coughing wetly.

Even looking at it, it was a fatal wound. But Ronan definitely wanted to close the match. His aura was activated again, this time entangling the king. Ronan's body holding La Mancha was launched towards him.

『Ugh…!』

The king hastily took a defensive stance. But Ronan was a little faster. He dug into the defenseless embrace and swung his sword widely. Sigh! A long, deep line was drawn over the white body. Blue blood surged once again and drenched the night sky.

『Huh!』

“Stop fooling around now!”

Ronan shouted. This time I felt it definitely. His sword strikes tore through the creature's flesh and tore through its internal organs.

Nevertheless, the giant king did not fall. Ronan was about to deliver an additional blow to completely end the situation. The king threw away his great sword and punched him.

『How dare you-!』

“Holy shit…!”

Ronan took a deep breath. It was a distance that could not be avoided or avoided. He hurriedly raised his sword, but it was not enough to throw it away. A huge fist hit La Mancha's stomach.

“Gagging!”

Kwaaaaang! Ronan's body hit the ground like a thunderbolt. This time, he fell onto the star protection installed by the savior. Ronan collided with the shield and vomited blood. It felt like all the bones under my back had been crushed.

『Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

“Oh my god…”

Painful screams were echoing from above. Perhaps because of the pain, the finishing blow had not yet arrived.

'There is no time to waste.'

If things continued like this, it would attack both the ground and itself. Ronan was about to get up again. Suddenly, a dry groan was heard from beneath the shield.

“Ro…I.”

“ok?”

Ronan urgently lowered his gaze. The Savior was staggering, arms stretched out to the sky. His condition looked very bad, with blood dripping from every orifice on his face.

“What, why did it suddenly become like that?!”

“Huh…uhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuh!”

The savior was about to respond when he coughed up blood. Ronan's face hardened. It had been fine until a little while ago, but I wondered why it had become like that.

“uh?”

Ronan suddenly noticed his surroundings and raised his eyebrows. I didn't realize it because I was out of my mind, but everyone was lying down. He wasn't just lying down, he was giggling and talking nonsense like sleep.

“Hahaha! After all, I am the strongest!”

“Hahaha…Mom. “I missed you too.”

“Heehee, pee fire!”

“What the fuck…”

Ronan was at a loss for words. At that time, there was a sound of something splitting from the protective shield I was lying on. The crack that occurred at the impact point was widening rapidly.

“What?!”

Normally, the shield that would have blocked the giant king's blows was ridiculously weak. This was before Ronan could do anything. Kwajangchang! The defense shield, which could not overcome the increasingly widening crack, finally broke.

“Keuuk!”

The savior, who once again vomited blood, fell forward. Ronan landed after spinning around and ran towards him. The pain that felt like hitting my back with a hammer had long since disappeared.

“Shit. “What the hell is going on, huh?!”

“Hey, here…”

Ronan supported the Savior. The smell of blood was dizzying. Hearing his sister's name, his eyes widened.

“What? Why sister? Did something happen?!”

“Oh, I have to stop it…huh.”

“Wait a minute. Wait, hey!”

At that time, the savior who was speaking lost consciousness. Ronan shook his shoulders nervously, but didn't get up.

“···What on earth is going on?”

It wasn't dead. Ronan carefully laid the savior down and looked around. My sister and her lover were nowhere to be seen. Soon he found his friends and shouted loudly.

“Aser! Marya!”

“Oh, Marya… You can’t do this here. I, I must maintain my dignity as a magic tower lord… ”

“Uhihi… That’s right. “I am Count Armalen.”

But they also looked like everyone else. Asher, Marja, and Braum were lying down together and wandering around. He seemed like someone who was having a good dream.

“Ahaha…yeah. “How does it taste, you cat? Who is the Sword Saint now?”

“Fuck.”

Ronan cursed. The Iron Lady Nabiroje was also talking in her sleep while hugging Dae Taedo. He was in the midst of holding his head in a situation where he felt like he was going to lose his mind. An angry roar rang out from behind the clouds.

『Kaaaaaa-!!』

It was the king's voice. The wounds inflicted by Ronan seemed quite painful. It was a roar that could have been heard as the sound of a star being born, but no one woke up.

Ronan's face hardened. Before long, dozens of light balls tore through the sea of ​​clouds and poured down.

“Damn it, no!”

Ronan screamed. It was an attack from the king whom he had been so wary of. As it was dispersed into many pieces, its power was weakened, but each one was still powerful enough to be incomparable to the spears thrown by ordinary giants.

'Even the people around me…!'

I had to make a decision quickly. It was impossible to protect everyone when the defense shield was shattered anyway. Ronan was in the middle of gritting his teeth and choosing a ball of light to cut down. Asher, who was lying down in front of him, suddenly got up.

“Aser?!”

“······”

Ronan called, but there was no answer. Asher raised his hand before Ronan could say anything. Sparkling mana began to swirl and gather around him. It was so massive that the space seemed distorted.

Soon, the car was about to crash into the ground with a bunch of lights. Paaaa-! The divine protection of the star was created in a precarious manner and covered the entire Allied Forces. Quagwagwagwang! A ferocious explosion rang out without interval.

“Hey, are you okay?!”

It was an attack that even the savior could barely handle, no matter how weak he was. However, not a single change was revealed in Asher's expression. Only a thin strand of nosebleed was sliding down the small bridge of his nose.

“you···!”

The eyes that had been closed were wide open. The eyes, which were originally purple, had turned a dull gray color. Ronan had definitely seen this phenomenon before. Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind.

“That’s why I kept warning you that it was dangerous.”

“what?”

Ronan hurriedly turned around. Adeshan suddenly appeared, looking up at the sky with his hands in his coat pockets. The tightly erected collar was shaking in the wind.

“Adeshan?”

Ronan said. But no answer came back. Adeshan's cold, sunken eyes gave off a completely different atmosphere than before. The incomparably powerful shadow mana was overflowing over her shoulders.

“···no way.”

Ronan's eyes widened. He knew this energy better than anyone else. But since it was something that could not happen, Ronan just kept his mouth shut and could not bring himself to speak.

'That can't be possible.'

At that time, Adeshan, who was muttering, lowered his head. Ronan made eye contact with her and froze. He was mumbling and blurted out the words he had been holding in without realizing it.

“···General?”

“It’s been a while. “Corporal.”
