Academy’s Genius Swordmaster - Chapter 234

234. Black Man (2)

#234

“Okay… where is Navardoze?”

said the black man. His tongue was twisted, perhaps because of his excessive drinking. Ronan opened his mouth while holding the hilt lightly.

“what?”

“Shichimi… I know at least that you received the power of that woman. Big…At first, I thought it was an engraving, but when I looked closely, it turned out to be a ember.”

Ronan’s eyes widened. It was just advertised as someone related to Navardoze.

He was about to answer, but he looked around hurriedly. Fortunately, the shop was noisy and my voice didn’t leak out.

‘What is this bastard?’

Only one person was able to overhear their conversation. The owner, who had been scrubbing the cup without a word, suddenly started rummaging through the cupboard containing the ingredients. After examining the cupboard for a while, he let out an embarrassing laugh.

“This radian cheese is gone. I’ll go out and buy some.”

“I’m just there, sir. I’m going to drink more of that.”

“It’s the best snack, so I can’t help it. I’ll be back soon. I’ll leave the bottle here, so feel free to pour it out.”

There was no bird to say anything. The owner left a bottle of brandy on the bar table and left. Ronan bit his lower lip.

‘shit.’

It was clear that he had heard the conversation and was going to report it. Perhaps it was to inform that someone related to Navardoze had appeared. Ronan, who hurriedly stood up, spoke to the black man.

“I think I drank too much, but I don’t know what you are talking about. I have something urgent to do.”

“Keep…don’t do that, sit down. I still have a lot of alcohol left.”

“Because I have something urgent to do. Drink alcohol in moderation…”

【I have no intention of saying it twice. Sit down.]

The man’s voice suddenly changed. A feeling of intimidation rose like wildfire and pressed against my shoulders. Ronan’s brow furrowed.

“Because this bastard wants to see you.”

Shirik! Reflexively drawing his sword, Ronan aimed it at the man’s neck. It was so fast that the criminals couldn’t even recognize it. The point of La Mancha’s sword stopped at a distance between his neck and a piece of paper. The man lowered his gaze and tapped the blade with his index finger.

“It is a good sword.”

“Where does a guy with long hair like a girl keep holding weight? Do you want to try it?”

Ronan growled. I ignored it because I didn’t want to cause a commotion aside from looking strong, but I had no intention of putting up with it if it continued to come out like this. The man who had been silent for a while opened his mouth.

“He’s a fun guy, too. You’re pointing a knife at me In addition, he said he would be willing to fight…”

“I’m not joking. Say it one more time in a threatening tone. Because if it’s not you, I will die.”

“Cheuk… I’m in a good mood now, so forgive me for being rude. Sit down for now.”

The black man pointed at a chair with the tip of his chin. The lead Ronan sat down again. When I thought about it, I thought it would be okay to hang out a little.

‘I think he’s crazy. Shall I dig up some information?’

Ronan’s head rolled quickly. I had to act rationally. It was impossible to catch up with the owner anyway, and looking at Navardoze, it seemed that there was something wrong.

Navardoze was a person who had a close influence on Adren, so perhaps useful information might come out. Ronan, who judged that, picked up a glass and poured the brandy. Then, it slipped in the direction of the man.

“okay. Let’s talk somewhere.”

“It should come out like that.”

The black man took the glass. I kept thinking about it, but the atmosphere was quite different from when I saw it at Aurora Skal. Is it the type of person who changes when they drink alcohol? The man who took a sip of brandy exclaimed in admiration.

“…This is fine. It’s the best thing I’ve eaten here.”

“That’s good. When did you come to Adren?”

“I came with you. My stomach is comfortable, so it was quite good.”

“What the fuck?”

Ronan frowned. The man who had completely emptied his glass wiped his mouth. He informed me that he had stowed away in hiding on the Red Whirlwind.

“When the hell did you hide?”

“Well… Anyway, I am grateful to you. For some reason, I can’t come to Adren. Queue.”

“This is a strange guy.”

I had no idea why he was banned from entering because of what he was doing. It seemed like we could get to the point. After filling up his glass, Ronan continued.

“Navardoze Navardoze… Why do you keep looking for that married woman? If you’re banned from entering the country, you’re probably not the dragon king’s helper.”

“I don’t even know who the Dragon King is now. I’m not interested. It must be a mixed dragon with nothing to see.”

“Then why?”

“To kill. Is there anything else?”

The man spat out dryly. In the silence that came for a while, the sounds around you could be heard loudly. Ronan’s mouth opened slowly.

“You mean? Navardoze?”

“What are you asking twice? to literally kill. Because it is the biggest stumbling block to my goal.”

“…Do you seriously think that’s possible? Have you ever seen Navardoze in person?”

The alcohol was so strong that I couldn’t contain my laughter. What is this bastard talking about now?

Ronan was sure. The drunkard in front of him looked quite strong, but it was by no means comparable to Navardoze. That older sister, like Cain or Abel, was something out of the norm. The black man shook his head.

“I haven’t yet, but I’ve killed one member of that clan. His name was…Gargarence.”

“Gargarence?”

Ronan’s eyes widened. It was definitely a name I remembered. A red dragon that I saw while traveling through the memories of the savior, Cain. One of Navardoze’s blood relatives, he was an ugly dragon that escaped after having its horn cut off by the savior.

“okay. I killed you because you came to fight. The hornless guy fought quite a bit.”

“…Have you not received any sanctions?”

“joy. There must have been some kind of sanctions. If anyone had come to threaten me, I would have killed them on the spot.”

The black man emptied his glass. It was unknown why Emperor Navardo, who cherished the clan, did not impose sanctions. I must have been busy at Dreemur or something happened.

‘He’s bigger than I thought.’

However, catching Gargarens was truly surprising. No matter how much the horns were cut off and mojiri became, red was still red. Of course, in the case of Navardoze, the story was different.

“Looks like you’re using some force. Still can’t beat Navardoze. Seriously, her breasts are probably bigger than yours.”

“You won’t know until you see it… well, I have a secret weapon.”

“A secret weapon?”

“okay. You should have seen it too.”

Ronan noticed he was talking about a weapon made from an Aurora Skal. Was it a single-pillar window?

I don’t know where he hid that big thing, but he couldn’t see it now. Suddenly, the images of the two venomous dragons that had been brutally murdered flashed before my eyes.

“Did you kill Drahavier and Landoheidel with that secret weapon?”

“Dra… what? Because I don’t remember the names of all the miscellaneous things.”

“That’s too much. There were two green dragons.”

“…Ah yes. I tested the performance because they had a fight with me. Not bad.”

The black man groaned. As expected, it was this bastard who killed the poison dragon father and son. When I heard it, I was a little worried.

The thickness of Drahavie and Navardoze’s scales would be incomparably different, but it was a weapon that pierced the dragon’s scales and body at once. Ronan asked.

“So why the hell are you trying to kill Navardoze? What is your plan?”

“I will destroy the Balon Empire.”

“…what?”

“Precisely, my goal is to throw everyone who enjoys the land into a pit of fire. It took a long time. Navardoze is the Empire’s strongest ally, so I’m going to start by putting it aside first.”

Ronan didn’t say anything. It was as if he had been hit in the head with a battering ram. Aside from the arrogant attitude of treating Navardoze as a mere obstacle, the goal itself was too out of the blue.

“Why is the empire suddenly appearing…?”

“It’s a personal grudge…well, and there’s one thing I’ve been concerned about since a while ago…”

Suddenly, the man gulped down the bottle of brandy. Every time the mokuldae snapped, the contents quickly disappeared. After exactly five sips, the man who emptied the bottle opened his mouth.

“Puha…where did you get that sword?”

“knife? this?”

Ronan held up La Mancha. The man set the bottle down roughly on the table. Clink! Unable to overcome his strength, the bottle shattered and shards of glass splattered, but he didn’t care.

“Yeah…look at me.”

“I don’t like your attitude.”

【Shut up and give it up. I have something to check.]

For an instant, the man’s eyes became stern. The murder that happened on the black coat covered the tavern. It didn’t even compare to when he coerced Ronan to sit down.

“Gagging…!”

“Hey, wake up!”

Three or four guests who couldn’t overcome the intimidation fell asleep while biting on foam. The entire tavern is in chaos. Ronan’s face hardened fiercely.

“What are you going to do with me now?”

【I won’t say it twice. Bring the sword here.]

Ronan gripped the hilt, but the man was stubborn. The flesh that flowed out made every bone in his body tingle.

‘Why are you screaming all of a sudden? Should I cut it?’

It was in the midst of Ronan’s troubles. Suddenly, customers began to rise from all over the tavern. They, too, could see the flesh gushing out over the man’s shoulder.

“Hey, what a joke.”

“You’re done drinking. If you’re going to fight, you’re going to go out and fight, what are you doing?”

People who looked like they were going to break their fists were roaming around. It was noticeable that each one had a large and colorful engraving. The black man glanced back at them and growled lowly.

【Don’t intervene, dregs of miscellaneous dragons. Do you want to die?]

Ronan startled. Now, the man’s attitude was no different from what he had seen in Aurora Skal. The guests who had been dumbfounded for a moment burst out laughing.

“Now, the dregs of the miscellaneous dragon? Did you dare to call my master Lavientera a miscellaneous dragon?”

“Let’s see. You cross the line. Chuck looks like an outsider, where are you going?”

“catch! Beat it up!”

Eventually, this division was born. Angry guests rushed in one by one. The people charging from every direction except the front looked like a herd of water buffaloes. The black man who had been glaring at them quietly opened his mouth.

【If you want to die… you have to do it.】

“This is crazy.”

For an instant, the black man’s hand blurred and disappeared. Ronan swears and pulls on the hilt. Kaaaang-! A sharp metallic sound rang out. The eyes of the man running in the front widened as if they were going to pop out.

“Heh heh heh!”

The hands of La Mancha and the black man were interlocking in front of their noses. A pale, white hand gripped the blade like a prey shark.

dump. The man sat down in his seat. Yellowish urine leaked out between her loose legs. If this young man hadn’t stopped him, he would surely have died. The blade with the aurora color lightly dug into the man’s palm.

‘hard…!’

Ronan twitched his lips. It wasn’t like this when he clashed with Schlieffen’s Mithril Longsword. The black man who was staring at La Mancha opened his mouth.

【As expected, it’s a holy sword. I have never forgotten a single moment.]

“…what the hell are you doing?”

Ronan said in an amazing tone. I didn’t say it was a holy sword, but it was the first time I’d been caught. Intense curiosity reared its head one by one, but I couldn’t afford to pay attention to those things right now.

‘Damn it, it’s not easy.’

Ronan gritted it. The blade held by the man did not budge as if it had been crushed by a rock somewhere.

It seemed difficult to avoid a fight. As Ronan grabbed the hilt, the sword turned crimson. Chew! As he pulled his arm, blood sprayed. The black man gave a brief moan and stepped back.

【Kuh…!】

“I warned you. You or I die.”

Ronan growled. Blood dripped from the black man’s hand. A long cut ran across his palm.

【You hurt my skin. As expected…!]

The corner of the black man’s mouth went up. Although the wound was quite painful, he showed no sign of pain.

The rushing guests were frozen in place like statues. Ronan, who took a deep breath, was preparing for the next attack. Suddenly, a girl’s voice resonated in my head.

[Runs away.]

“…Rin?”

Ronan’s eyes widened. It was the voice of Rin, the holy sword. It was the first time since the previous colic on Aurora Skal.

[You are not an opponent you can win. Come on.]

Rin’s tone felt somewhat rushed. It’s been a while since he came and I couldn’t figure out why he was suddenly doing this. Are you that dangerous?

‘for a moment.’

Suddenly, the name of a being flashed through Ronan’s mind. The information given so far fits perfectly. Bizarrely strong hatred of the Black Coat Empire.

“You… can’t be…”

【Continue. As for the whereabouts of Navardoze, I will ask again after the limbs are removed.]

It was as if he knew the identity of the black man. The glowing red eyes under his hair were burning with hatred. It was the car Ronan was trying to say. Quaang! Suddenly, the tavern’s ceiling shattered and a giant dragon’s hand protruded. The frozen guests screamed.

“Quaaaaagh! what what?!”

“Dragon?!”

Its hands, covered in blue scales, were huge enough to hold a bull. The tension that had been kept taut was broken in an instant. A hand that flew like the wind grabbed the black man’s body.

【Found it!】

【Gagging…!】

The man gritted his teeth. A huge hand gripped him and slipped away. Through the empty hole, the body of the magnificent blue dragon was visible.

“What the fuck happened?”

Ronan, who barely came to his senses, ran out of the bar. bang! As soon as he kicked in the door, dozens of soldiers and three dragons, the owner who had gone out to buy cheese, appeared. The owner, who met eyes with Ronan, shouted.

“Is the young man all right?!”

“What the hell is this all about?”

“Ah, I was in a hurry as much as I could, but I’m glad you seem to be safe. I never thought he would come into our store.”

The owner let out a sigh of relief. When he turned his head, he saw a blue dragon about the same size as Drahavie clutching the black man. The man caught in the blue grip was clenching his teeth to the fullest.

【Let go…!】

【Resisting is useless. Abandon hope.]

The blue dragon said calmly. Looking closely, not only his hands, but also three or four geometric magic circles wrapped around the man’s body like shackles. It seemed to be some type of restraint magic. At that time, the white dragon behind the soldiers stepped forward.

【You shamelessly came in. If you’re going to sneak in, you should have hidden your tracks properly. That arrogance of yours has gone awry.]

“The examiner?”

Ronan’s eyes widened. The white dragon’s voice matched that of the old man in charge of the examination. The extremely nervous soldiers were aiming their spears at the man. Vanartier, who returned to his true form, shouted at the black man.

【I’m arresting you on the spot for smuggling and killing a sentry!】
