Academy’s Genius Swordmaster - Chapter 127

[ 127. Searching for the Scream (4) ]

#127

“Go away. Even today, innocent people are waiting.”

“I will.”

“I will go out first and wait for you.”

The woman with her back turned went out the door. There was a faint smell of lilies from where she was staying. Ronan was constantly trying to do something, but the body of the savior who imprisoned him never gave up control.

‘Damn what happened?’

I felt dirty because I thought I was going to watch it in silence. The savior walked to the desk and put the seven-pointed star pendant around his neck.

From the crude seven-pointed star, sparkling mana was rising like fog. Again, his lips moved wildly and a low chant flowed out.

“… May the stars bless you.”

The savior, who had adjusted his clothes, opened the door. With the sound of hinges creaking, a completely unexpected scenery unfolded before my eyes.

‘What…’

Ronan’s eyes widened. A small village reminiscent of Nimburton was built under a blue sky. Every time the wind blew, the wild flowers in full bloom were lying down and getting up repeatedly.

The door and the building he came out of were all gone. It was a place change that frequently occurred in the world of dreams or images. Ronan looked around and tilted his head.

‘Has there been a fire?’

Contrary to the first impression, it did not seem to be a peaceful village. Many of the buildings, most of which were made of wood, have collapsed or been burnt down.

Rather than a fire, it seemed to be attacked by something that breathed fire. Residents in tanned clothes were busily walking around. At that time, Ronan’s gaze stopped in one place. A strange thing was happening.

‘That’s…’

Water buffalo, horse, monkey, etc… There could be hundreds of various animals carrying wood or stones. Judging by the translucent body, it was a spirit, a creature made of magic.

Small and medium-sized spirits were carrying materials or restoring houses that had been destroyed. The gigantic spirits that were occasionally seen were doing large-scale work, such as digging up the ground or making a hill out of piles of dirt.

It didn’t take long to realize that the act was to draw the river from afar. Ronan laughed while watching the spirits’ civil works.

‘It’s amazing.’

Judging from the fact that the wavelengths of mana felt by the spirits were the same, they were all controlled by one person. It was really great considering that the average elemental lord could command two or three spirits at most.

The savior moved to the center of the village. The woman I had just spoken to was surrounded by villagers. Residents in shabby clothes were expressing their gratitude by bowing their heads.

“I thought I would freeze to death this winter…! thank you!”

“To make the river reach the front of Ma Village… that’s not even necessary…!”

“The land here is fertile, so many people will continue to gather here. After the reconstruction work is completed, we will bring in the river in earnest.”

The red-eyed elf woman was manipulating the spirits in perfect order. The mana that was exuded from the spirits was oozing out of her. The woman who met eyes with the savior bowed her head respectfully.

“Savior.”

“Your skills have improved again, Elcia. They all seem to be intermediate level spirits.”

“Thanks to the savior. The magic book you compiled yourself was very helpful.”

“is it. How does it compare to the first book?”

“Lerrande was a great book, of course, but…I think the one I wrote this time is even better. Have you decided on a true title?”

The woman took out a book from the inside of her robe. Ronan’s forehead crumpled like tissue paper.

The book, whose cover and inside were all black, was familiar to the eye. A wedge-piercing word flowed from the lips of the savior, who moved again.

“Vajura.”

“That’s a good name. I will work even harder.”

“okay. Suffer a little more.”

The woman who was silent again focused on spiritism. Ronan, who was watching from the inside of his eye socket, was in shock without saying anything.

‘How the fuck is that old?’

It was surprising that Vajura was written by this savior, but what was even more astonishing was the current time period. The librarian Aire of the Dawning Mage Tower guessed that Vajra was written at least 2,000 years ago.

It was unbelievable. The scenery you are seeing now is from a thousand years ago.

Ronan stood in place, forgetting to resist for a moment. Either that or not, the savior moved on his own. Every step I took, the locals clung to me.

“Savior. Thank you very much. I never thought you would come to our village…”

“Kheuhuh… A monster burned down the whole village and ate the people.”

“Take it easy. A very good warrior went to slay the monster.”

The savior reached out and stroked the crying child’s head. It was in the middle of walking around the village with the residents.

The sight of a giant sitting at the corner of the village caught my eye. The man’s back, which was as wide as a stingray, had a large seven-pointed star tattoo, the symbol of Nebula Klazie.

“Hey…! Oh, it hurts!”

“Be patient. Because connecting in the first place hurts the most.”

A small farmer was lying in front of him, screaming. The giant was trying hard to insert something while holding onto his leg.

Ronan realized that the farmer’s right leg had been amputated below the knee. cried the giant.

“Okay connect. Huap!”

“Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”

A long scream rang out. The wife and children who were watching were silent. The farmer, who had come to his senses, raised his head.

“Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…?”

“Hahaha, I held up well. Now stand up.”

A bridge made of metal was joined under the cut surface of the bridge. I felt that the lost sensations had returned. The farmer carefully raised himself. Stepping cautiously, he let out a violent exclamation.

“Ooh, it moves…! I am walking!”

“Hahahaha! Of course you have to walk. This is a prosthetic leg made by me and no one else!”

The man let out a hearty laugh. The farmer ran out with cheers and hugged his wife and children. It was a lovely landscape. The savior approached with great strides and spoke to the giant.

“You suffered. You always look good with your hands.”

“Ah, are you here?”

The giant stood up. It seemed to be a good 2m tall, more like a beast than a human. He continued with his hands in his pockets.

“It’s all thanks to the skills you taught me. How the hell do you know that?”

“Nothing. I just had a little more experience than others.”

“If I ask about your experience, won’t you answer me again this time?”

The savior nodded his head without speaking. The man who had twitched his lips finally burst into laughter.

“Haha, you’re the strangest mortal I’ve ever seen.”

“I don’t want to hear from a dragon making prosthetic limbs for mortals. Alibrihe.”

‘Alibrihe…?’

Hearing the man’s name, Ronan widened his eyes. It was a person I heard about through the mouths of Terranil and Yuria not too long ago. A prosthetic hand or prosthetic limb maker.

He was a blacksmith with amazing skills, so I thought I would like to meet him someday, but I never expected to see him like this. Are you a dragon anyway? As I raised my head in doubt, a voice came from behind me.

“Savior. As instructed, we have eliminated the demons nearby.”

Ronan, who belatedly sensed the presence, startled. An energy so strong that it was incomparable to that of Elcia or Alibrihe pierced her back.

The savior turned his head. A man wearing a white robe down to his nose was standing there. The longsword dangling from his waist was covered in blood.

“Since there are a lot of prototypes, I only cut off the head of the one that looks like a captain and brought it.”

Sparkling mana was oozing out of the sword body wrapped in white light. Drake’s head, which was bigger than most houses, was tied to his back. Alibrihe touched his chin in admiration.

“Oh my head is this big. You could call it an honor dragon.”

“It’s pretty big. It is presumed that this guy also burned the surrounding cities and villages.”

“Again, not a single drop of blood was stained on the clothes. After all, you are great.”

The man in the robe lowered his head. I didn’t know anything else, but I liked one attitude that wasn’t arrogant. The savior opened his mouth.

“Good job. ■■.”

“thank you. savior.”

“Get some rest. Reconstruction is almost done…”

Ronan frowned. I couldn’t make out the words that were supposed to be the man’s name. It was the moment when the man who had been silent again was about to turn around. A dark shadow seemed to be cast, but the whole area became bright.

“hmm?”

Everyone present raised their heads at the same time. And at the same time, I sighed. Crimson flames cascaded down from high above.

“what…!”

It was a fire so powerful that it covered the entire sky. Alibrihe’s face contorted in bewilderment. Screams erupted from all over town.

“Aaaaaagh! Boo fire!”

“help me!”

The first to move were the spirits of Eldia. They hurriedly set up a barrier, throwing their bodies, but they could not hold out for a few seconds and were swallowed up by the flames.

Alibrihe also shot a stream of water created by magic into the sky, but it didn’t help much to extinguish the fire. cried Ronan.

‘You climber. do something!’

Even in an imminent crisis situation, the author called the savior just stood there calmly. It was around fifty paces away from the flames. Suddenly, the savior raised his right arm and opened his mouth.

“Everyone calm down.”

For an instant, the screaming stopped. At the same time, flames engulfed the village. Quaaaaaa! The torrent of flames that poured down ceaselessly only stopped when it engulfed the village as well as the nearby land.

‘…what?’

Ronan, who had closed his eyes from the heat, raised his head. Nothing happened. No one was killed or injured, and the buildings in the village were in good health without a single scorch.

The reason could be found in the sky. A hemispherical curtain shimmering in purple covered the entire sky.

‘The protection of the stars…!’

Ronan’s eyes widened as if they would pop out. Like Bajura, it was a familiar appearance. However, it was on a different level from the blessings of the stars he had seen so far.

The thickness was incomparably thick, and the radius seemed to be several kilometers. It almost looked like Ahayute’s shield.

[What did you do?]

At that time, a majestic voice resounded from above the sky. The sound of flapping wings that had been heard earlier was getting closer.

Whoa! All of a sudden, the smoke covering the shield dissipated. Dark shadows fell over people’s faces. The wind from the flapping of the wings was pushing away the smoke and embers. Before long, the culprit who spewed out flames appeared.

‘Fuck.’

Ronan twitched his lips. It seemed that the length from head to tail was well over seventy meters. The red color covering the body was denying the logic of the world with just that color.

The red dragon, considered the most prestigious of all dragons, was looking down on the village. Seeing that, Alibrihe scratched her head as if it was annoying.

“Damn, why did that bastard come here?”

“Are you acquainted?”

“okay. Red Death Gargarence. He has a dirty temper, but why are you here…”

Alibrihe explained that the dragon was Navardoze’s clan. Ronan was also well aware of Navardoze.

A great dragon still praised as the mother of fire, and the only strong man who did not die and killed a giant during the final battle. said the savior.

“Noble dragon. Why are you doing this?”

【Give me the one who killed my servant.】

“A servant?”

【okay. A servant who had served me for hundreds of years had just died. The culprit must be here.]

The moment Ronan heard that, he turned to the man wearing a robe. Under the circumstances, it seemed clear that the drake he had cut down was a servant.

“I…”

“Stay still.”

It was the car the man was about to step forward. The savior who stopped him opened his mouth.

“I’m sorry, but that sounds like a bit difficult.”

【What does it mean?】

“It is true that we killed. It’s only because your servants have trampled human habitation and preyed on mortals at will. Won’t you admit your faults this time and move on?”

[Sounds funny. Do you think the lives of my servants and your bugs are of the same value?]

“At least it is so for me.”

The savior answered without hesitation. A terrible silence fell. Everyone present froze as if they were stone statues. The red dragon’s ridicule echoed across the sky.

【Then it has been decided. All of you will disappear as ashes.]

The dragon’s chest began to swell. The shimmering flames were preparing to pour down.

At the same time, the savior reached out and pulled the man’s sword hilt. With a smooth sound, a pale blue sword body appeared.

“Savior, I…!”

The man tried to say something, but the savior ignored him. Fain! The savior’s body, which had been crouched down, shot out like a spring.

【What…!】

The distance narrowed in an instant. The dragon’s eyes flashed with bewilderment. The savior, who had risen high enough to face him, swung his sword.

A graceful slash created a white line across the dragon’s horn. It was the moment when he, who had risen to the peak, fell again. Awesome! The horn, which had been divided into dozens of pieces, scattered like an explosion.

[Kahiahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

man’s painful scream came out of the dragon’s mouth. Everyone below covered their ears at the sound that shook the heavens and the earth. The dragon, unable to overcome the pain and falling, managed to regain balance just before reaching the ground.

“Waaaaa!!”

“Yo dragon runs away!”

The situation was over in an instant. The moment the savior landed on the floor, cheers erupted. Most people were preoccupied with the flying dragon, but not Ronan.

‘oh my god.’

The sword the savior drew was floating in my head. His eyes could barely follow them, but he could clearly see them.

The savior’s sword technique was very similar to that of Nabi Roget. He said that a wanderer he encountered in the jungle once taught him.
