Academy’s Genius Swordmaster - Chapter 219

219. Elcia (2)

#219

“It’s a transfusion of the blood of her twin sister, Abel.”

“…what is it?”

Ronan frowned. It would have been less embarrassing if I had told her that I had to pick up dog poop and eat it. Stunned, he opened his mouth.

“Why do you have to do that?”

“The reason the savior’s wounds are not healing right now is because of the lack of blood. And no blood of any race is compatible with him. There is no doubt that the savior said it himself.”

Elthea explained that when Abel stabbed the savior, he used poison made from his own blood. Poison, which weakens strength and rots wounds, was a strategy of its own to defeat a much stronger brother than himself.

And the operation was successful. The savior, who lived an immeasurable amount of time, fell into a terminally ill, and the great spiritist Elsia became a sickly caregiver.

She said she tried everything to cure the savior. He made medicines by obtaining medicinal materials at random, and delved into healing magic that was not suitable for him.

There have been countless treatments developed over a thousand years, but none of them have had a significant effect. She continued in a somewhat somber voice.

“So I was making a plan. A plan to get Abel’s blood. But no matter how much I tried, I couldn’t find a way.”

Elcia let out a deep sigh. What made it so was that the opponent was the leader of Nebula Clazier and a swordsman comparable to a savior.

Taking his blood was next to impossible, even if Elcia was a powerful Elemental Weaver. I was in hiding, so I couldn’t reveal my identity.

‘It’s difficult.’

Ronan twitched his lips. Apart from being embarrassing, I felt that it was a tremendous sincerity. Even if they were real parents, it was questionable whether they would be able to devote themselves to this extent.

“By the way, Elcia. Is there a reason you work so hard?”

“yes?”

“It is extremely sincere to the savior. It was not enough to have been by my side for thousands of years, so now it seems that saving this person has become the purpose of life. I think there must be a story behind it.”

Suddenly, I became curious about the identity of the woman named Elcia. Come to think of it, I was only interested in the savior and the traitor, but I didn’t know anything about this person. The hesitant Elcia opened her mouth.

“Mmm…savior literally saved my life. I can only say this.”

“Salvation.”

She evaded an answer by giving an awkward smile. Ronan didn’t bother asking further because it seemed like there was something he couldn’t say.

In the first place, I heard so much information that my head was pounding. His interest returned to the savior’s remedy.

blood. you need blood After thinking for a while, Ronan opened his mouth.

“Wouldn’t my blood, that child, have an effect?”

“iced coffee. Of course I tried to say that, but the savior was not very willing. He added that even if it did, the effect would be less because the blood would become thinner.”

“So that means you haven’t tried it yet.”

Suddenly, Ronan rolled up the sleeve of his left arm. A muscled arm appeared. He said as he looked at the flustered Elcia.

“Pick it up.”

“That can’t be. In the first place, even Savior said that he did not want to use the blood of his children.”

“I didn’t say I didn’t want to use it even if I died, didn’t I?”

“That’s…”

“Elcia. I need to talk to that person. There’s a mountain of questions to ask, and you might find a clue to get Abel’s blood.”

There was impatience in Ronan’s voice. There was no time to delay. No matter how much I managed to win against Nebula Klazie, a year was too short.

“And even looking at it like this, I’m pretty competent, right?”

Ronan briefly explained the problems he had solved so far one by one. I didn’t like it because it seemed to be campaigning, but I couldn’t help it to seduce this stubbornness.

Brigia and Terranil Barca… her eyes shook whenever she heard the names of the officers Ronan had killed. After hearing some of the authority of the dawn, Elcia raised her eyebrows.

“Can you get support from the Imperial Army? Were you a soldier?”

“Something similar.”

“Certainly in that position…”

Elcia began muttering something to herself. It seemed that he had found the hope of obtaining Abel’s blood. Thoughtful, she nodded slowly.

“great. Let’s try it.”

Elcia left the room. It was to get the tools needed for blood collection and transfusion. Adeshan, who had been observing the situation, asked anxiously.

“Ronan. Are you okay?”

“Is there anything special? I’ll go back as soon as I finish this.”

“huh? It’s okay for me to stay a little longer… He’s the father I’ve been looking for so long.”

“I was looking for a savior, not my father.”

Ronan looked back at the savior. To be honest, I still haven’t really felt it. He made a lot of noise about being a savior and the founder of Nebula Klazie, but in fact, to Ronan, this man was not enough to just abandon his mother and children, he was a son of a bitch who even put a curse on him.

‘My sister had a hard time.’

Ronan clicked his tongue, recalling the days of snoring. Of course, in the image world, Ronan was angry at the death of his savior and fought with Abel. However, it was because Abel was only ten years old, and it was when he did not know that this man was his father.

The only reason Ronan gave blood was to keep the promise he made with the general in his previous life. I said I was going to save the world, and I needed this person’s help to do so. While I was thinking about this and that, Elcia returned.

“I am ready. Would you like to come over for a minute?”

In her hands were syringes and tubes, as well as various tools needed for blood transfusion. The work was completed much faster than expected.

Elcia, who had lived like a doctor for over a thousand years, in an instant transfuses the blood she drew from Ronan into a savior. Ronan, who was rubbing the needle mark, smiled.

“It’s fast.”

“It’s what I do every time. I’m not looking forward to it… but I hope there’s progress.”

Blood was entering along the pipe connected to the savior’s right arm. Come to think of it, every time I was injured and shed it, but it was the first time I had done such a classic blood donation.

Unlike Ronan and Adeshan, who had deep expectations, Elcia’s face was dry and calm. It seemed to be a side effect of repeated expectations and disappointments for a long time.

It was in the midst of killing time by talking about this and that. Suddenly, Adeshan gasped and exclaimed.

“There! I’m awake!”

“I beg your pardon?!”

Ronan and Elcia turned their heads at the same time. As they looked up at the savior, their eyes widened as if they would pop out. His closed eyelids were slightly open.

“Three worlds…! Are you awake?”

Suddenly, tears ran down Elcia’s cheeks. From the strong reaction, we could get a glimpse of the efforts she has made so far. Ronan, who had been silently looking at him, opened his mouth.

“saver.”

The eyes of the savior were scarlet, as expected. The eyes that shimmered in the color of the sunset were just like hers and Iril’s.

The moment Ronan met his eyes, he instinctively knew that this man was really his father. The traitor’s eyes were also the same sunset color, but the impression itself was conveyed was different.

I guess it’s awkward enough to be warm. I felt the so-called affection. Elcia, who was shedding tears, tilted her head.

“…Savior?”

However, that was all. No matter how much I waited, the savior only blinked his eyes and showed no other reaction. It was the same even if all the blood that was drawn went into it. Unable to bear it, Ronan touched the glass tube with his palm.

“Say something.”

But no answer came back. It seemed to me that this was the maximum I could do with my blood. Elcia, who wiped away her tears, spoke in a bittersweet tone.

“It is as you said. I think it’s because the blood is thin.”

“shit. How can I not pull out more and put them in?”

“…sorry.”

Hearing Elcia’s apology, Ronan bit his lip. The savior’s words fit perfectly. It seemed that her own blood, mixed with that of her human mother, was not enough to cure this monster.

“Fat…”

Ronan cursed. The savior was still looking only at himself. His eyes were barely open, but his consciousness seemed to remain.

The two stared at each other for a long time. I had to come to a conclusion before my mind became more complicated. Ronan, who was thinking about something, opened his mouth.

“…Elsia. We’ll go back at once.”

“what? Is it this fast?”

“yes. There’s a risk of being chased… and there’s still work to be done in the North. I’ll come back later.”

“Ah, then do it. Hailan will take you to your destination.”

It seemed like he was leaving too soon, but he couldn’t help it. Now that this was the case, he had to devote himself to saving Abel’s blood.

Furthermore, if the church noticed that Barca was dead and sent a search party, there wouldn’t be such a mess. That damn tiger was in charge of the important role of being a bishop.

I had to finish my work quickly, leave, and proceed with the work in a way that sneakily came to me. Ronan and Adeshan immediately began preparing to leave. Elcia said.

“I have something to tell you.”

“ok? What is it?”

“If you read the memories, you will know Alibrihe-sama. I heard that he resides in Adren, the city of dragons. I don’t know if he turned his back on the church like I did… but anyway.”

“… Alibrihe?”

Ronan’s eyes widened. It was definitely a memorable name. Bizarrely, Dragon, whose hobby is making prosthetic hands, was one of the founders of Nebula Clazie, just like Elcia. The scene of Abel cutting off his left hand was still vivid in his mind.

However, it was to be seen if he would become an ally. Judging from the fact that the whip Adeshan was holding right now was also made by Alibrihe, it was highly likely that he was still involved in the church. Anyway, this was very valuable information.

“thank you. I will refer to it.”

“What. Then shall we go out together? I have to call Hi-Lan.”

The three of them moved towards the exit. Ronan turned his head before leaving the room. The savior was still staring at himself.

“Eight damn it.”

Ronan, feeling a bit embarrassed, clicked his tongue. If I had known it would be like this, I would not have looked back. There was still warmth in his yellow eyes. He muttered a little, then spat out.

“Wait a little.”

No answer came back. It was natural. Because I was leaving to hear the answer. After saying goodbye, Ronan stepped out the door. The iron door closed with the sound of wind blowing.

.

.

.

It was cold and dark outside. Green aurora borealis flickered under the starry night sky. Adeshan, who was literally looking up at an eagle the size of a house, said in a trembling voice.

“This… can I really ride on this person’s back?”

“sure. Hailan is my friend. He himself said that he could grant any request like this.”

“Then I’ll be grateful….”

Adeshan took Ronan’s hand and climbed on Hyran’s back. Seeing that it was much higher than she thought, she was startled once again.

Elcia even made a saddle for me, but I was still uneasy. Elcia smiled and waved her hand.

“come again. Oh, do you have what I gave you?”

“Certainly.”

Ronan revealed the scrolls in his inner pocket. The rolled up roll of paper was imprinted with space movement magic that could lead directly to the Sea of Ghosts.

Elcia told me that if something happened or there was progress, I could use it. Also, she handed over a bunch of documents that compiled the information she knew about Nebula Klazie, and I thought that if I combined it with the information I had gleaned from Barca, I might be able to figure out something really big this time. Elcia murmured while holding Hiran’s foreheads together.

“please.”

– Pyuyo!

Hiran flapped his wings and replied. Surprised, Adeshan hugged Ronan by the nape of his neck. Just before takeoff, Ronan remembered something and snapped his fingers.

“It’s true Elcia.”

“yes? Why are you like that?”

“I haven’t heard the name of the savior.”

I almost didn’t listen and skipped over. Elcia widened her eyes.

“Oh, is that so? It’s not a very difficult name.”

“What is it?”

“Cain.”

It was a conversation that seemed insignificant. It was heard as clearly as it was possible to see a face. it’s Cain Indeed, it was not as difficult as I thought, and it was an ordinary name.

“thank you. I will come again.”

“Thank you… haaaaaa!”

Elcia waved her hand instead of answering. At the same time, Hiran flew up. Wow! The Prince of Storms soared to near the clouds with two or three flaps of his wings. The wind roaring in my ears was fierce.

“Killing…!”

“Kyaaaaagh! Hahah!”

It was a ride comparable to Itargand. Adeshan was screaming with her eyes tightly closed. It was difficult to tell who was a bird between Hi-Lan and her.

In the distance, I could see a dim light. It was unknown whether Jager’s men were looking for the missing captain or whether the light from Rundalian’s town was reaching this far. Under the slowly flapping wings, the sea of floating ice swayed.

****

The sky was clear. In the place where the aurora borealis and dark clouds had disappeared, only a transparent blue light remained. The morning sun rising from beyond the sea was soaking the world.

“Ahhh… we finally arrived.”

“Thank you. Thanks to you, I came comfortably…”

The two arrived in Heiran around dawn. A little more time was delayed while collecting the corpse of Aradan Turgung in the Sea of Ghosts.

-Pui yo oh!

The Prince of Storms, who dropped Ronan and Adeshan off, went back to Elcia without looking back. Ronan, who was watching the back of him who was quickly moving away, shook his head.

“It is a very cool bird. Is it because he resembles the owner?”

“Maybe…”

Adeshan said in a voice dripping with weariness. Everything that happened last night felt like a dream.

Seed storage and even Ronan’s father in a light-emitting diode glass tube. All of them were unrealistic stories that wouldn’t even appear in a novel. Suddenly, her eyes met Aradan, and she muttered worriedly.

“We’ll have to find a place to bury it before it decays.”

“So. Have you still not been contacted?”

The wear tiger boy’s corpse lay limp on Ronan’s back. It was cold here, so it didn’t matter, but if the temperature rose just a little bit, the corpse would start to rot in no time. Hearing the word contact, Adeshan tilted his head.

“Are you in touch?”

“Why did you write me a letter when I came here…”

Ronan was about to say something. Sensing a familiar presence, the two turned their heads at the same time.

The silhouettes of the two were approaching from far away in the snowy field. There was a huge difference in physique, but the energy I felt was equally intense. The corners of Ronan’s mouth went up.

“aha. Uncle Emperor is also merciful.”

The outline soon became clear. Adeshan’s eyes, which were already large, widened even more. The smaller of the two outlines, that is, the grunting voice of Nabi Roje could be heard from here.

“What is this like for me, cat, because of you?”

“Are you finally here?”

Zaifa calmly stretched out. I don’t know how he got here because he can’t set foot in the north. Taking a deep breath, Ronan moved towards the two of them. Carrying the corpse of the Sword Saint’s son on his back.
