Academy’s Genius Swordmaster - Chapter 140

[ 140 Spring Come (5) ]

#140

Asher’s hair was dyed white from the roots. There was a chill like a haze around her tiny hands. Ronan’s eyes widened.

“What are you doing right now…”

【Ahaha This is the first time I’ve ever had such an excellent bowl. It’s a talent that only appears once in a thousand years.]

Asher covered his mouth and giggled. There was no sense of guilt in the laughter. The soft voice of a woman escaped from between his lips.

Even if something went wrong, it was definitely going wrong. I had to figure out why this happened. In an instant, several bizarre elements flashed through Ronan’s mind.

Ibelin’s hair suddenly turned brown, and Asher is bleaching her hair as if to replace her. An attitude that has become frighteningly homophobic. The reasoning did not take long.

‘Damn, was it an ice body?’

Apparently, the Witch of Winter was the same spiritual body as Vajra. Wandering around the world without a body, looking for a host. I didn’t know anything about it because I had never experienced it in my previous life.

Ronan, who grasped the situation, rushed to Asher. Knock! Grabbing Asher by the collar, he growled ferociously.

“Why are you in there? The Winter Witch.”

【Ah, for some reason it’s rough. This isn’t bad either.]

Asher smiled coquettishly. The white color that completely engulfed her hair was dyeing even her eyelashes pure white. Power went into the hand holding the collar.

“Stop the bullshit and get out of that bastard’s body.”

【Are you doing this on purpose? It’s a little sad if you keep pretending not to know.]

“I don’t know you.”

【By the way, it looks like your face has gotten younger. Envy you.]

Instead of answering, Asher just muttered incomprehensible words. It seemed that he was mistaking himself for someone else.

Asher’s expression remained unconcerned even though his throat must have tightened considerably. He slowly raised his hand and gently caressed Ronan’s cheek.

【Stop teasing me… Hurry up and call me by name. Don’t only you know my real name?]

“Fat.”

It was a friendly tone, like talking to a lover. Veins formed on Ronan’s forehead as he reached the limit of his patience.

He was about to put his fist through Asher’s temple. An eardrum-shattering roar echoed from behind.

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!”

“Ah fuck.”

It was a size that could not be ignored. Ronan reflexively turned his head. Itargand, who had been hit directly by the ice, was struggling.

Rodolan shuddered whenever his body hit a wall or floor. An ice pick half-buried in his chest was constantly leaking chills. I couldn’t even think of pulling it out because of the pain. Asher frowned.

【Hmm…that’s very noisy. It’s a reunion after a long time.]

Asher raised his arm and aimed at Itargand. The chill gathered in an instant created a huge magic circle in front of his hand. Ronan, who became contemplative, spat out a curse.

“Damn it, I can’t stop!”

Ronan hurriedly cut off Asher’s arm. At the same time, the same ice pick as the one shot earlier was fired. Kwajik! Ice grazed Itargand’s neck and landed on the wall. Asher tilted his head.

【Why are you interfering?】

“Are you asking because you don’t know? That kid is from the Navardoze clan.”

[Aha, for some reason, only the lineage seemed noble. Surely killing them would be annoying in many ways.]

Asher lowered his arm. Fortunately, a minimum of reason seemed to remain. The moment he thought so, he quietly pursed his lips and snapped his fingers.

【But doesn’t it really matter?】

“What?”

right! An awl stuck in the wall was pulled out. The awl rotated smoothly in the air and fired again at Itargand.

“Damn it…!”

Ronan turned around and swung his sword. Wedge! Five swords in the shape of a crescent moon were fired as if to intercept them.

However, the ice pick twisted its path at will and eventually reached its goal. The manipulation was so sophisticated that it was incomparable to the witches I had seen in my previous life. Fu-wook! The awl that pierced Itargand’s back obliquely came out through his side.

“Huh uh uh uh!”

Itargand sighed. The riot stopped. He fell to the floor, his eyes fixed on the ice spears growing on his side. thud! Asher, who had been smirking, continued.

【If you and I join forces, even the mother of fire will be no match.】

“You crazy bitch…!”

Ronan gritted it. I didn’t know that it would go out like this. Fuck! He turned the sword around and hit Asher on the back of the neck with the hilt.

[Aww!]

Fortunately, it worked this time. Asher let out a short moan and lost consciousness. A terrible silence fell over Juteca. Elizabeth, who had been frozen as if dead, opened her mouth.

“What the hell happened to this…?”

“I don’t know either. It seems that I was possessed and took away my body.”

“Non-possession? To whom…”

“The Witch of Winter, who is that?”

Elizabeth’s eyes widened. Suddenly, Ronan noticed that many people were nowhere to be seen.

“Where did everyone go anyway?”

“All the sheep ran away when Itargand ran amok. pitiful people.”

“No, it’s better.”

Even if there was, it wouldn’t have helped much. But if you ask if only Elizabeth is there, that’s not the case either. Karaka, who had been standing there blankly, opened her mouth.

“…embarrassed.”

Karaka was staring at Juteca, who had become a mess, unable to hold back her embarrassment. Evelyn Droza was still holding her, breathing heavily.

“It was still there. Karaka.”

“It’s my job to take care of the prisoners. Anyway, this is…”

There was no soul in the cracked voice. It was unexpected even for the interrogator who had gone through all kinds of prenatal battles. He turned his head and fixed his gaze on Asher, who had turned white.

I wanted to explain how this division came about, but unfortunately I ran out of time. said Ronan, tapping him on the shoulder.

“Karaka. Move him to a safe place. And tell them all to get away as quickly as possible or prepare to defend themselves. Because something doesn’t feel right. No one is allowed to come here.”

“…What do you think Ronan will do?”

“We have to make the most of it. Come on.”

Ronan chased him down. After thinking for a moment, Karaka nodded. He left Zooteca with Evelyn in his arms.

Ronan leaned the limp Asher against the wall. While checking Asher’s condition, he turned to Elizabeth.

“You help me. Has your psychokinesis improved a little over the past two years?”

“Yeah, to some extent…what are you going to do?”

“I can’t let that child die.”

Ronan pointed at Itargand and said. The overturned body was convulsing. I felt like I would die within five minutes if I left it as it was.

‘Golchiap. If this happened today…’

If Itargand died here, there would be a discord between Adren, the city of dragons, and the Empire. Radical dragons using his death as an excuse might call for war.

The conflict between the continent’s two most powerful powers was no fun. Especially when the end is only a few years away.

Ronan grabbed the hesitant Elizabeth by the wrist and strode towards Itargand. He was dying in a strange form, neither human nor dragon. The wound was completely frozen and there was no blood flowing.

“Aren’t you ashamed of your mother, idiot?”

“Kuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh human…”

Ronan let out a deep sigh. This was the reason why the Witch of Winter was vicious. Those ice injuries were really hard to treat.

If he left the awl unplugged, the cold air would completely consume him, and if he pulled it out recklessly, his already-frozen organs would crumble. He had an emergency potion, but the amount was absurdly insufficient for his size.

It was a moment when I was wondering if there was a way. Suddenly, a flash flashed in Ronan’s eyes.

‘Wait, did I write that?’

There seemed to be one object suitable for this situation. Come to think of it, I didn’t remember writing anything but receiving it. Ronan, who was rummaging through his inner pocket, took out something.

“…Yes.”

A small, white orb glistened on the palm of his hand. It was a perennial pearl that only came from the northernmost tip of the continent.

A supreme herb that increases mana and increases cold resistance. It was a gift from Adeshan two years ago.

‘It’s a waste.’

Ronan twitched his lips. Aside from monetary value, I just didn’t want to spend it on others. But if it wasn’t for this, there was no way to get out of the situation immediately.

for a cause. After thinking so, Ronan opened his mouth.

“Listen, Itargand. If you leave me like this, you will die soon.”

“What…this…”

“The witch’s coldness will freeze your heart. There’s no use resisting. It’s not something that can be shaken off just because it’s a dragon. In the end, your entire body will turn to ice and collapse. ”

said Ronan calmly. There is no exaggeration mixed in with the description based on what he saw in his previous life. Itargand’s eyes twisted. A low murmur escaped from between his teeth.

“I don’t want to die…”

“good. Then do as I say. This lady who looks like a rich cat is going to pull out an awl stuck in your body. Then you should immediately polymorph into a human. It hurts enough to make you want to die, but that’s the only way for you to live.”

After saying that, Ronan split the Permafrost Pearl in half. Then he shoved half of it into Itargand’s mouth.

gulp. Itargand swallowed the pearl. Before long, his frozen wounds melted and blood began to flow. Itargand let out a groan of pain.

“Kuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…!”

“Oh, isn’t it getting worse?”

“The effect of the pearl is driving the cold inside the body. Let’s do it slowly.”

Ronan winked at Elizabeth. She closed her eyes tightly and displayed telekinesis. Chow! The awls stuck in Itargand’s body were pulled out by the roots. Red fresh blood splattered like sprays.

“Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”

“Polymorph!”

Ronan shouted at Itargand, who was about to rampage again. His roaring body was enveloped in light. Before long, Itargandh, who had turned into a platinum-haired young man, fell to the floor.

“Huh! Big!”

Ronan hurriedly ran to help Itargand. Blood was gushing out of the four orifices.

My body shrunk so I had to try it. He poured an emergency potion into the affected area. Chi profit…! The wound began to heal with the sound of water evaporating. After confirming that the blood had stopped, Ronan smiled.

“Damn you bastard. I was insulted.”

“Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…you…what the hell…”

Itargand looked up at Ronan. Anger and envy had disappeared from his eyes after he had reached the threshold of the underworld. After staring at Ronan for a long time, he lowered his head.

“Keuugh…”

“Yes. Stop making noise and get some sleep.”

Fortunately, he was not dead, but passed out from exhaustion. This dismissed the possibility of a war between dragons and humans. It was the moment when Ronan let out a sigh of relief after overcoming a major hurdle. A voice came from behind.

【…Who are you?】

“Damn it.”

It was the voice of a witch. I don’t know when I came to my senses, but that wasn’t what was important right now.

Ronan hurriedly split the remaining nephew pearls in half again. He ate one and shoved the other into Elizabeth’s mouth.

“Lord Ronan?”

“Eat it.”

“Ugh…! Keck! Keck!”

Elizabeth, who accidentally swallowed the pearl, choked. Ronan took a deep breath and turned his head. Asher, who had come to his senses, was standing with his back to them.

“Why are you doing that?”

Ronan frowned. A wall of ice, flat like a mirror, rose in front of Asher. He looked at Ronan’s reflection in the ice and muttered in disbelief.

【Not that person. Why…]

Disappointment that could not be concealed was in his voice. It seemed that he finally realized that Ronan was not the person he was looking for. Ronan shook his head as if he was fed up.

“Damn, did you know that now?”

【This is impossible. They look so much alike…! What is your father’s name?]

“I don’t know. By the way, I’m curious, is the person you’re looking for the head of Nebula Klazie?”

[Ah…aaaa…!]

Asher didn’t answer. He groaned with a look of despair on his face and began to touch his face with both hands.

【And this child…isn’t a girl.】

“Didn’t you know what?”

【Nonsense. She’s so beautiful…and her skin is so soft…!]

“…well, it’s kind of confusing.”

Ronan nodded. Because he couldn’t believe that Asher was a man until he saw it with his own eyes. I heard that there are more than 20,000 male students whose hearts were destroyed after confessing to that dwarf without knowing it.

【Isn’t everything going wrong… How did I escape Lorhorn’s prison… My plan to reunite with that child in a beautiful bowl…]

Asher’s condition was getting worse and worse. It seemed that he was not normally shocked when he muttered nonsense that he couldn’t understand. Ronan let out a deep sigh.

“…do you have any intention of answering something?”

As expected, no answer came back. Since normal conversation was impossible, what to do was decided.

Ronan pulled both sword hilts at the same time. Sureureung! The black body of La Mancha appeared. Ymir, pulled out from the scabbard, sprinkled sparkling mana.

The reason Ymir was not chosen was to subdue Asher without cutting it. Ronan, aiming at Asher with La Mancha, growled lowly.

“Now come out of my friend’s body. A lady who doesn’t even know the subject.”

Ronan spurred the ground and ran. Elizabeth chanted the incantation. A cold, subdued voice flowed from Asher’s parted lips.

【I hate it…everything.】

The moment Ymir’s scabbard was about to strike him in the head. Asher raised his head and snapped his fingers. Quaaaaaaa! Zooteca’s walls exploded and seawater poured in.
