Academy’s Genius Swordmaster - Chapter 117
[ 117. Blood wets the sand (8) ]
#117
“Okay, let’s finish it.”
Theranil’s arms fell to the floor. Chow! Hot fresh blood gushed out from the cut surface. Ronan, who swung his sword aiming at the neck, shrugged his eyebrows.
“Did you avoid it?”
“Huh…!”
Theranil’s face went white. Intuition based on instinct saved his life. If he hadn’t taken a defensive stance before he heard the voice, his head would have been blown off.
But having an arm cut off was no luxury. My right arm was below the elbow and my left arm was numb to just below the shoulder.
A belated pain ran through his body. A desperate scream erupted from Terranil’s mouth.
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!”
His closed eyes flashed open. A thick stream of blood flowed down his cheek.
Even if he wanted to wipe his face, it was impossible because he had no arms. After correcting her breathing, Terranil drew the mana in her body to her eyeballs.
“Huh…Huhhhhh…!”
The wound on the cornea slowly began to heal. As soon as he regained his sight, he saw a blade aiming for his neck.
“Keugh!”
Terranil hurriedly bowed. Whoo! La Mancha flew across the top of his head and passed by. Ronan tilted his head.
“What are you seeing again?”
“What…what did you do!”
Theranil stuttered and shouted. My head was dizzy from losing so much blood. The sight that returned, albeit slightly, showed only Ronan’s outline.
“That is none of your business.”
“Wait a minute!”
After answering in a nonchalant way, Ronan swung his sword. Sharp sword strikes poured down like raging waves. shhh! Terranil, who had saved his ears from being blown off by a single leaf, chewed his lips.
“Damn it…!”
His arm was cut off, making it difficult to keep his balance. Terranil had to dodge the attack even more dangerously than before. The slashes that he had not completely avoided were carving large and small scars all over his body.
‘It’s a shame. I never thought I would make such a mistake.’
Airborne has been completely reversed. It was as if he was crippled from being bitten by the rat that was chasing him. Theranil gritted his teeth. It was the cause of his failure to temporarily restore his eyesight because he wanted to enjoy the battle with Ronan.
‘What the hell did you do? Disappearing the presence…!’
I couldn’t figure out the principle. Even now, Ronan’s mana was repeating disappearing and reappearing. Terranil, who was drooling, straightened up.
‘Disadvantageous. We must retreat.’
Apart from the heat from the wound, his head was cold. It was impossible to stay like this forever. No matter how much I regret it, the severed arm won’t come back.
Averting the situation was a priority. Terranil, who was looking for an opening, gathered his breath and roared.
“Get off!”
authority has been activated. The translucent wings spread, the wings completely unfolded, and a gale burst out. Quaaaaaa! A wind blowing everything out swept the room. Theranil’s eyes widened.
“Geuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…!”
“What?!”
Something unbelievable was happening. Ronan didn’t fly. He held on, clutching two swords driven deep into the floor.
And that wasn’t all. The roots of mana that came out of nowhere wrapped around Ronan’s body and fixed it to the floor.
The eerie looking roots kept growing over and over again whenever they were cut off, preventing Ronan from flying away. Soon the wind died down. Theranil’s face contorted in shock.
“No… nonsense!”
“You won’t get hit three times.”
Ronan grinned and swung both swords at the same time. Theranil hurriedly bit him, but it was too late. Awesome! A red line was drawn across his chest in the form of a cross. Blood gushed along the sword mark and soaked Ronan’s face.
“Cuck!”
Blood gushed from Terranil’s mouth. The word death flashed through his mind. This wound was not good. I could feel the blade piercing through my flesh and reaching into my intestines.
“Master Bishop?!”
Yuria, who had been competing with Schlieffen, finally turned her head. Terranil, who had been fine until a moment ago, was coughing up blood with his arms cut off. she screamed in fright.
“Far Pal…?! How did that happen?”
“Yuria! It’s a quick retreat…! Scroll…!”
“You can’t go.”
Ronan grabbed the sword with a full turn and swung it. Concentrating his mind, Terranil unexpectedly jumped off the ground. Kwaaang! A violent shockwave hit Ronan.
“Ugh!”
It was a direct hit. The roots that supported Ronan were ripped off at once. Kwajik! Falling out after rolling five turns, he stopped only after colliding with a pillar.
“…Damn it.”
It was a force that I couldn’t adapt to no matter how right it was. When he spit, dark red blood gushed out.
In fact, Ronan’s condition was never good. The body torn apart by the shock wave was screaming. Although he had just seized the chance to win, the damage he had received until then had been accumulated in his body.
“Grow… grow…”
But he could never let go. Ronan swayed to his feet and started running. Terranil was within the range of the blessing of the star Yuria hit.
“Heh…come out here, son of a bitch! Are you still a bishop!”
cried Ronan. It was a long distance for the sword to reach. Terranil, of course, did not pretend to hear. YuRia petted the leopard and said.
“Shoot whatever you have.”
“Kurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..”
Then, the leopard who had been shooting iron at Schlieffen turned to Ronan. A loud roar erupted from the leopard’s fully inflated mouth.
“Kuaaaaa!”
At the same time, parts of the leopard’s body spread apart, and metal pieces were fired. Kaga River! Kang! Every time Ronan swung his sword, embers flew wildly.
“Fuck again…”
The firing interval was narrow, so I couldn’t move forward. YuRia was just taking out the return scroll. Terranil, leaning on her, glared at Ronan and opened his mouth.
“From now on… you are our target. Lycopos… Heck, he’ll follow you.”
“Shut up…stand there…!”
Ronan gritted it. As it was, there was no answer. It was far from the sword’s reach, and Schlieffen’s attack could not pierce the protection of the stars. To make matters worse, Vajra’s core was also running out of energy.
“Yumma…what are you doing? Wake!”
Ronan shouted, looking back at Schlieffen. After the engagement was over, he stared blankly into space like a man possessed by something. The body that had withstood the onslaught had large and small wounds engraved everywhere.
‘Why are you here? Did it hit the head?’
Ronan twitched his lips. Ugh! At that time, the scroll unfolded and a dark blue portal was created. After licking her lips, Yuria looked at the boys and opened her mouth.
“What a pity, youngsters. I’ll definitely kill you soon, so see you then.”
“Oh… big dog bastards…!”
“Hold on a little bit, sir. Alibrihe
-nim makes one prosthetic arm even more shocking…”
It was the car that Yuria was trying to guide Terranil to the portal first. Suddenly, a roaring sound echoed from behind. Surprised, she flinched.
“Kyaaaagh?!”
At the same time, an intense wave of mana hit the four people. The mana coming through his body at will was different from any energy he had ever experienced.
“Oooh!”
Ronan was disgusted. It was the feeling of pouring all the mana potions in the world into my throat at the same time. My stomach turned and the air felt unbearably bitter.
And that seemed to be the case with the rest as well. Intense mana pierced through the protection of the stars and even affected Yuria and Terranil.
“Eh! Aww!”
“Keoouk!”
The two were regurgitating without even thinking about entering the portal. Only Schlieffen maintained the posture of staring into space as if possessed. Suddenly feeling a change in his body, Ronan raised his head.
‘This…!’
Breathing gradually stabilized. I could feel the mana recovering regardless of the reverse. The two nearly depleted power sources were pulsating rapidly.
Ronan turned his head. The magic stone floating in the middle of the ruins emitted a brilliant light. An immeasurable amount of mana was pouring out of the magic stone.
Weeeeeeeeing…!
The range of the background distorted by mana was gradually widening. The lights on the ceiling, which had become weak as the fight went on, became so bright that it was difficult to open one’s eyes. At that time, a woman’s voice resonated throughout the space.
[Security system activated]
[Security system activated]
“Security system…?”
It was an artificial voice that gave me goosebumps. Hearing the unfamiliar words, Ronan frowned. A series of incomprehensible things happened from before, and I couldn’t figure out what was what.
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu?”
But that wasn’t what mattered now. After vomiting, Yuria and Terranil were recovering. Wiping her lips, she exclaimed in admiration.
“…Doesn’t it seem like you’re gaining some strength? Shall we just kill them all?”
“No, Yuria. Come on…”
Terranil pressed Yuria. His injuries were not something that could be recovered with mana.
“yes yes.”
Yuria pouted and took out another scroll for a new return. It was because the existing portal had disappeared before anyone knew it. She turned to Ronan and waved her hand.
“Then really good bye.”
It was the moment when YuRia was just opening the scroll. Ronan grabbed Ymir. The two power sources were shaking as if they were going to burst at any moment.
‘It’s the last chance.’
It seemed possible now. I had never tried it, but I had a gut feeling that it would work. Suddenly, a golden aura rose from Ronan’s arm. It was Baren’s Aura that amplified his strength.
“Whoa…”
Ronan took a deep breath. Ugh! A portal appeared as Yuria’s scroll unfolded. Aiming at Terranil with the tip of his sword, Ronan swung his arm.
Ymir, filled with sparkling mana, was shot while dragging his white tail. Paaang! A belated gong sounded.
Theranil was just entering the portal. hooked! Ymir, who flew in tearing the protection of the stars, landed on his side.
“Gagging!”
“Lord Bishop!”
Terranil collapsed with a roar, like someone who had been hit by a flying kick. It was because the main body shot strongly and the weight of the dagger was heavy.
“Oh, no. It can’t be like this…!”
Ymir’s blade was stuck right up to the handle, digging into it. Raising his head with superhuman tenacity, Terranil began crawling toward the portal.
Ronan slammed the floor with his right foot. bang! Roots sprouted from Ymir’s place and wrapped around the two of them.
“Ouch, what is this?!”
YuRia exclaimed in bewilderment. Even if he wiggled his limbs, he did not easily fall off. The roots, strengthened by unknown mana, were thicker and thicker. Ronan opened his mouth while fixing his eyes on them.
“I told you.”
Faaa- Suddenly, Ymir, embedded in Terranil’s side, radiated light. YuRia’s eyes widened. The energy emanating from the dagger was undoubtedly Terranil’s aura.
“This is the bishop’s…?”
Theranil’s face turned white as he predicted the future. Ronan, who gathered all the remaining mana, uttered a low voice.
“I can’t go.”
“Keah! Stop!!”
A moaning scream resounded. Ronan clenched his fists. Aaaaaaang!! A shockwave that was manifested at the same time exploded inside Terranil’s body.
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”
The shredded body was scattered in all directions. Yuria, who had been stabbed in the eye by a piece of bone, screamed.
The shining roots were ripped off and the protection of the stars was lifted. Discharged blood and intestines bloomed red on the cold metal floor. The upper part of Terranil’s waist had disappeared without a trace.
“How dare you!”
Shocked by evil, Yuria pulled out her whip. Roaring! Violent mana, reminiscent of a great fire, surged up over her shoulders. Ronan, who smiled bitterly, spat out curse words.
“Shit.”
“I’ll tear you into a thousand pieces!”
I just didn’t have the energy left to deal with something like that. It was just as she was about to take off. Schlieffen, who had been staring into space all along, pulled on the hilt.
– Hiss.
He looked at YuRia and swung his sword. A slash that slashed downward in an oblique line crossed the air.
Contrary to expectations, the sword was not fired. I didn’t even hear that common squeak. Just a gust of cold wind passed through YuRia’s neck.
“what?”
Belatedly noticing Schlieffen’s presence, Yuria turned her head. At that moment, the space the wind passed through opened up and the world she saw turned upside down.
“…uh?”
Took. Yuria’s head fell to the floor. The headless body slowly tilted.
That was the end.
