Academy’s Genius Swordmaster - Chapter 116
[ 116. Blood wets the sand (7) ]
#116
A huge whirlwind engulfed the two figures. Yuria’s screams were swallowed up by the sound of the wind.
“Ah… ah…!”
“Fucking bastards.”
Ronan raised his middle finger at the whirlwind. Fragments presumed to be part of the hedgehog were rising along the whirlwind.
It was fortunate that he did not even know the secret of knowing how to cut mana. It was a pity that he couldn’t sever YuRia’s neck because the sword’s range was short, but Schlieffen’s follow-up hit went perfectly. The storm of the next Sword Master wouldn’t stop until the two yeonnomims were completely ground.
“Mmm.”
At that moment, Schlieffen, who had been quietly catching his breath, staggered as if drunk. He braced himself with his sword and braced himself.
“What are you okay?”
“…No problem.”
It seemed that the impact of being hit by Terranil’s raging wind remained in his body. It was the first weak appearance I saw after the midterm evaluation. Ronan snorted as if he was dumbfounded.
“I’ve seen all of them fly up to the pole and hit the tail, but damn, there’s no problem. Stop bragging and go…”
He was just about to take out the Baren’s special potion. A ghastly ominous feeling brushed the nape of his neck. Ronan instinctively ran out, grabbed Schlieffen’s arm and threw himself.
“Shit!”
“What…”
Schlieffen’s eyes widened. It was at this moment that they took cover behind nearby pillars. Faaaaang! The shape of the whirlwind collapsed and a gale burst out.
“……!”
A strong wind swept over the son-in-law. Countless pieces of metal scattered in all directions. Every time small and large metal pieces were driven into pillars or ceilings, the lights that illuminated the room flickered dangerously.
“Yeah, somehow they said it worked out too well.”
Ronan let out a deep sigh. It was powerful enough to blow away a fairly large forest or village. The voices of Terranil and Yuria could be heard through the slowly dying wind.
“Wow… I almost died.”
“Anyway, I can’t be careless. I think I know why the branch manager was beaten by two.”
“Fuck.”
The raid was a failure. Seeing the two people alive and well, Ronan spat out a curse. Reddish metal clung to their bodies.
Come to think of it, I didn’t see that big hedgehog. YuRia muttered in an annoyed voice.
“He was my favorite child. How are you going to take care of this?”
“Crazy bitch…”
Ronan noticed that it was an armor made by disassembling a hedgehog. Empty! Empty! The metal fittings that had been used fell off. Theranil muttered, biting his lip.
“Sweet…it hurts quite a bit. I need to be healed at the church.”
It wasn’t very harmless, though. Where the armor fell, a disfigured body appeared. Red blood was dripping from their bodies covered in cuts.
“Are you okay, Bishop?”
“It’s okay. You don’t fight with your eyes anyway.”
Blood was dripping from both of Terranil’s eyes. It seemed that he was injured while being caught in the whirlwind. This one was a definite achievement. Ronan let out a provocative laugh.
“You are blind. What if I feel sorry for you?”
“I alone am enough for you.”
“I guess so. But you are uglier than I thought.”
“what?”
Yuria’s eyes widened. Her bare face was exposed under the torn veil.
“Ugh, gross.”
Ronan’s eyes met hers, and he frowned. I could see why she usually wears such bizarre clothes. Yuria was literally half a beauty.
A beauty and a monster coexisted on the face split with the bridge of the nose as the border. Unlike the beautiful right face, the left face was covered with gruesome burns.
The burns that swelled like a cobweb stretched from the forehead to the smooth thighs. Wow! Ronan, who deliberately made an exaggerated gesture, glared at Yuria and said.
“Next time, wear more clothes. You have to think about the viewer.”
“…I will definitely tear you in half and kill you.”
Yuria muttered lowly. Charleuk! A long whip appeared to trickle down her sleeve. The whip made of sharp metals connected together reminded me of a snake made of steel.
‘It was good.’
Ronan called for joy in his heart. Judging by the anger in his voice, the provocation was a success. It was also important to shake one’s composure when facing an equal or stronger enemy.
bang!
bang!!
Then two huge shadows landed in front of her. Just like the hedgehog, they were monsters made with magic engineering technology.
“Kurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
.
The bodies of the monsters, each in the shape of a monkey and a leopard, were coated in dark red blood. It was clear from the circumstances that it belonged to the natives. In an instant, Ronan’s eyes widened as if they would pop out.
“…squall?”
“Cheuk. Ro Ronan…”
A raging gust of wind was clutched in the clutches of the great ape. Blood was dripping from the cracks between the metal fingers. The wind, who had been groaning in a state of disrepair, opened his mouth as he looked back at Ronan.
“I’m sorry…”
“What happened?”
“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…to the cave…”
the gusts said intermittently. Ronan noticed that he was trying to lure the monsters to the tribesmen.
It was astonishingly serious to be alive. The right leg and left arm were turned in opposite directions.
Five or six pieces of iron reminiscent of a harpoon were embedded in the body, which was dyed red enough to make one wonder if it was originally that color.
“I thought I caught everything, but there was one more?”
Yuria smiled brightly. At that moment, something broke inside Ronan. Ronan, who jumped out while pulling the hilt, sprayed his arms. Sugak! Dozens of red lines were drawn over the monkey’s body.
“So…?”
It was the moment when the monkey, feeling the change belatedly, looked back at Ronan. Quaang! The upper body, torn into dozens of pieces, collapsed like an explosion. The creaking lower half fell to its knees. A gust of wind, released from his grip, swayed in front of the stairs.
“Gagging!”
“what…!”
Yuria’s eyes widened at the speedy sword that far exceeded her expectations. Ronan jumped on the monkey and jumped at her. Confused, she swung the whip, but Ronan did not escape. Chew! A sharp whip grazed his left shoulder at intervals of a sheet of paper.
“I’m dying.”
Yuria hurriedly pulled the whip, but Ronan was faster. It was the moment the reddish blade was about to touch YuRia’s neck. bang! Terranil suddenly intervened and blocked Ronan’s path.
“Don’t you get out of the way?”
“Don’t rush.”
Blood was still flowing under his closed eyelids. Terranil, who pushed Yuria back, jumped over the lot and avoided the slash.
It was an unbelievable movement for a person who could not see. He looked back at the dumbfounded Yuria and opened his mouth.
“Please take care of the minor duke of Yuria Grancia. This friend has business.”
“It can’t be, sir. You heard what I just said.”
“Yuria.”
For an instant, Theranil’s voice fell low. Yuria shrugged her shoulders. She bit her lip in disapproval and let out a sigh.
“Whoa… do you want to do that?”
Yuria turned around and swung her whip at Schlieffen. Schlieffen, who was already running, fired a slash. Kaaaang! The two weapons collided, and a sharp metallic sound rang out. Theranil laughed when he saw Ronan again.
“I waited a long time. Would you like to spend some time with me?”
“Get out of the way!”
Suaa – A strange breathing sound escaped from Ronan’s lips. Five mana-fed slashes were fired at Terranil. I dodged twice and let go twice, but I couldn’t respond to the remaining one. Awesome! Blood gushed down Terranil’s shoulder blades.
“Mmm!”
Theranil’s face hardened. Ronan’s attack continued. Terranil, who was narrowly avoiding the slash, shouted the regime.
Fain! The fist, which flew faster than sound, stopped at a place a little farther from Ronan’s stomach. Are you sick? After muttering that, Ronan was about to strike back. Kwaaang! A shock wave that shook the five organs exploded from the place where the fist stopped.
“Kuuk!”
I was out of breath. Ronan flew like a man hit by a huge wagon. It was a shock different from the wind pressure of flapping wings.
“Fuck…Fuck…!”
Ronan, who managed to twist himself in the air, slammed Ymir and La Mancha into the floor at the same time. Kagagakak! Embers and sparks sprang up like sprays. His body stopped only after being pushed about 50m.
“…You use fucking abilities.”
“Even if you look at it like this, he used to be a Valkar fighter.”
I thought it was a wizard, but surprisingly it seems to be a martial arts. Glistening mana over Terranil’s shoulders bloomed like wildfire. A buzzing, vibrating aura surrounded his hands, creating ripples.
Suddenly, the images of sandworms pulled out of the ground and dying passed before my eyes. It was clear that he had been affected by that ability. Terranil, who had been silent, continued.
“It’s a pity. It would have been nice if it was a little dull.”
“what?”
“If you have talent like yours, it would be enough to become Lycopos… How sad it is to be a beast that cannot be tamed.”
Ronan frowned at the unknown bullshit. In fact, Terranil’s voice was dripping with regret.
“Lycopos?”
“okay. It is the Church’s sharpest sword. I wondered if a new talent would be recruited after a while…”
Only then did Ronan realize that the reason Terranil dragged him around and made all kinds of noise was to appease him. Terranil, who was drooling, shook his head from side to side.
“What a pity.”
Fain! Terranil, chanting, leaped into the air. It was leg strength reminiscent of a non-human monster. bang!! Reaching the top in an instant, he spurred the ceiling and threw himself. The appearance of Terranil rushing forward with fists reminded me of a bird of prey descending toward its prey.
“Damn it.”
Ronan chuckled. It was a sense of intimidation that could not be compared to anything like Aarondale. He fired his sword as if to intercept, but Terranil lightly twisted his body to evade the attack. Chew! The stray blade of sword passed by Terranil’s ear.
“I felt it before, but compared to my sword skills, my sword skills are terrible.”
“You bastard like a monkey…!”
Ronan gritted it. Certainly, the slow swordsmanship could not keep up with Terranil’s speed. Like before, there was no chance of stabbing or slashing.
The first shockwave was pouring over his head. Sensing that he couldn’t handle it, Ronan hurriedly rolled to the side. Aaaaaang-! The seat he was standing in was hollowed out and a roar rang out. The metal floor rocked like waves.
‘This is really dangerous.’
It was not a lie to say that the ruins would be blown up. Shockwaves that spread like ripples shook the basement. Yuria’s maniacal voice could be heard coming from not far away.
“Handsome boy, why can’t you use your strength like this?”
There was a whipping that seemed alive. Cacan! Kang! Every time the sword and whip collided, sparks were wildly bouncing.
Compared to Yuria, who ran amok like a madwoman, Schlieffen’s condition did not look very good. He was so infatuated that it could be said to be one-sided.
It was because of the blessing of the stars. Watching Schlieffen being pushed away by the pressure of the shield and whip, Yuria burst into madness.
“Kyaahaha! yes this is correct Aren’t you piercing?”
“Keugh…!”
All of Schlieffen’s attacks that could have been effective hits were blocked by the protection of the stars. The shimmering shield was swallowing both the physical slash and the aura of the storm.
“Kuaaa!”
To make matters worse, the leopard monster was attacking whenever there was an opening. The leopard also repeatedly hid under the protection of the stars and repaired itself when it felt like it was at a disadvantage.
It was astounding how he could survive under such circumstances. But it didn’t seem like it would take long for the balance to break. A moan escaped from Ronan’s lips.
‘…I need a strategy.’
It was an unprecedented crisis. Something else had to be used to reverse the overall unfavorable situation. However, there was no time for Ronan to pay attention to Schlieffen.
“Where are you distracted?”
Quaang! Terranil, who had flooded in again, pushed the regime. The shockwave shot in a straight line passed Ronan’s ear. Ronan immediately counterattacked, but Terranil again avoided the sword at a close interval.
“It is useless. Even if no one else knows, I can read all of your attacks.”
“Faggot bastard…”
It seemed that he would not be able to move like that even if he responded with his own eyes. He perfectly sensed Ronan’s mana and went into battle.
Feeling his breath quicken, Ronan twitched his lips. The mana he was using was slowly running out.
‘Fuck you. I can’t catch it with this.’
In order not to burn out, he had to use Vajra’s core. However, the sword that was wielded with sparkling mana was much slower than the sword that Ronan used to wield with mana.
That was the reason I hadn’t used it before. He lacked the determination to deal with the nimble Terranil.
‘I’ll have to drag it out for a while until it recovers.’
But there was no other way. Ronan switched his power source to Vajra’s core. His body was filled with energy and sparkling mana rode up the blade. Terranil, who had been chasing after Ronan, stopped in place.
“Hmm?!”
It was a reaction that would be seen by a human who was suddenly thrown into a foreign land. Theranil began to look around as if he were truly blind.
Ronan tilted his head at the strange behavior out of the blue. Suddenly, an idea flashed into my mind.
‘No way…’
Terranil was relying on his ability to sense mana, not his eyesight. And the sparkling mana generated when the shock wave was created spread like a haze around.
‘I can’t tell them apart…?’
Maybe there is a chance of winning. Ronan switched power sources again. La Mancha, which had been shining white, was dyed red. Theranil’s face lit up.
“Aha, you were there.”
He rushed straight towards Ronan. Kwaaang! Terranil stomped, and the ground turned over, sparks shooting out. The shock wave that occurred again hit Ronan.
Ronan quickly laid down his sword and took a defensive stance, but he couldn’t stop his body from flying backwards. Kwaaang! Blood gushed out of Ronan’s mouth, who had been hit by a pillar again.
“Kuuk!”
It was still a difficult skill to adapt to. Ronan swayed to his feet and glared at Terranil. He crouched down to deliver the finishing blow. Terranil grinned as he turned his head to Ronan.
“Are you giving up?”
Ronan didn’t answer. Still showing no sign of exhaustion, he was indeed a strong man worthy of a bishop. Terranil licked his lips in pity.
“Then let’s finish it soon.”
Theranil’s figure faded from sight. At the same time, Ronan switched power sources. Kwaaang! Terranil flew in a straight line and collided with the pillar. The metal tile flipped over and the mechanism inside popped out.
“ah?”
Theranil tilted his head. There was no blood or crushed internal organs on the fist that had been removed from the pillar.
Come to think of it, Ronan’s presence had disappeared without a trace. It was the same strange phenomenon as before. Suddenly, goose bumps ran up the back of my neck.
“what…!”
Theranil turned hastily. It was the moment he was about to swing his shockwave-loaded fist. The disappearing presence of Ronan reappeared. A familiar voice rang in my ears.
“Okay, let’s finish.”
Took.Terranil’s arms fell to the floor.
