Academy’s Genius Swordmaster - Chapter 235
235. Black Man (3)
#235
【The demonic dragon Orsay, you are arrested on the spot for smuggling in and killing a sentry!】
Vanartier’s cry echoed loudly. The bustle that had been heard from all over the street disappeared at once. Just like mice holding their breath after hearing the sound of a cat’s bell.
[Keuuuu…!]
Orsay was still caught in the clutches of the blue dragon. Only his growling and roaring voice flashed in the silence. Power went into the hands of the sentries who were holding the spearheads.
“Oh Orser…is it really the demon dragon I know?”
“I thought you must be dead.”
I couldn’t believe it even when I saw it. After being defeated by Balon’s first emperor, Orsay abandoned Rare and left for the west. Nearly a thousand years have weathered the story of Orsay’s defeat into a legend rather than history. Ronan, who had been glaring at him silently, twitched his lips.
“also.”
It was as expected. Only one suspect fit the puzzle. It was just that it was so absurd that I was just stumped. I never thought I would meet Orsay in this way.
“Are you hurt anywhere? You don’t have the guts to talk calmly with that demon dragon.”
“What did you know that the boy was Orsay?”
“I knew it was him the moment I first entered the store. Originally, black dragons are good at hiding their presence, but those who have experienced Orsay’s energy will never be able to forget it.”
“That’s right.”
Ronan shook his head. Orsay’s ferocious mana was so clear that you didn’t have to put in any effort to distinguish it. The owner continued.
“It’s been over a thousand years, and I don’t know why it’s showing up now. To do something heinous again…”
“Come to think of it, why is Orsay banned from entering Adren?”
“Because I killed too many compatriots. The event that became the decisive moment was when Orse was defeated by the Empire, and he tore the five dragons belonging to Adren who went to recruit him on the spot. It was a real tragedy.”
“Crazy.”
Ronan shook his head as if he was fed up. He was a much more filthy bastard than I thought. I expected it from the aspect of sudden acceleration.
Suddenly, a question crossed my mind. The old man in front of me spoke as if he had personally experienced the events of a thousand years ago.
Could this person be a dragon too? I have no tea at all. It was in the middle of the tension that was rampant.
[Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…]
Orsay’s body, which had been struggling like a sudden, drooped. He seemed unconscious or exhausted. The blue dragon who was holding him laughed. The mute soldiers began to stir.
“Did you pass out?”
“Don’t even do that. I filled five pieces of binding magic on weakening.”
“Don’t be alarmed. Encircle little by little!”
They crept closer, aiming their spears at Orsay. Judge Vanartier narrowed his brows. It was around the time that the noise in the street was getting louder again. A gloomy voice resounded beneath Orsay’s hair, which hung down like willow leaves.
【…You’re sober. Bugs.]
[What?]
The blue dragon’s eyes widened. In an instant, black mana rose above Orsay’s shoulder like wildfire. The magic circle that restrained him was blinking with the momentum to burst at any moment. Like a candle placed in front of the wind.
【Hey restraint…!】
Vanartier, feeling strange, was about to shout something. Wow! The overflowing mana condensed for an instant, causing an explosion. A scream filled with pain erupted from the blue dragon’s mouth.
【Khaaah-!】
Kung! The fingers holding Orsay fell to the floor. Each of the scaled fingers was the size of a moderately large tree. The torn off section was burning black.
“This.”
Ronan’s brow narrowed. It was the same mark as the one seen on the poison dragon’s corpse. Then Orse, released from restraint, landed on the floor. In his hand was a gigantic spear that could be called a pillar similar to Jaifa’s scabbard.
“Noah has come to his senses. All to position!”
“To the location!”
[Orsay…!]
The soldiers took a response posture. Vanartier gritted his teeth. The spear, as black as the color of his hair, reminded him of the lance used by cavalry soldiers. The spirally curving spears represented the owner’s ferociousness.
【If you want to die, I’ll do whatever you want. After that, I will find out the whereabouts of Navardoze.]
Orse chanted. The flesh and mana that flowed over the body were wrapped around the spear like a whirlwind. I had a very bad feeling. The blue dragon, groaning at the pain of losing its left hand, raised its right arm.
【Kwaaaah! You bastard!]
Gripping-! In the middle of the huge grip, a bluish mass of lightning was shaking. The vine-like current was repeating expansion and contraction in all directions. It looked like it had the power to blow up a dozen or so buildings, and that was the problem. Vanartier exclaimed urgently.
[Wait, LaLatarsian. If I used that kind of magic here…!]
If I used it in such a narrow place, even my allies would be blown away. However, the dragon named Laratacian did not see such a thing. In the yard where his fingers are rolling around his feet, is that a big deal?
[Die!]
Laratashian shouted. At the same time, the grip holding the lightning fell in a rough arc. Orsay did not dodge and responded by raising his lance. Quaggagak! A deafening sound resounded as if the mountain was being crushed. The piece of meat that had been Laratacian’s hand was torn apart and scattered in all directions.
[Huh…!]
Laratacian hardened. In the place where the right hand had been, nothing existed. The current that had lost the catalyst was dissipating. Orsay leaped right away and threw out his spear. Pooh! The tip of the lance almost dug into Laratacian’s chest, but an explosion exploded over his back. Black beams of light shot towards the night sky. A fishy smile appeared on Orsay’s lips.
【Blue guys. Your skin is still soft.]
[La Lalatasian!]
Vanartier was shocked. Through the hole in his chest, he could see the night view of Adren. Kwakwang! Laratacian’s slowly leaning body collapsed onto the street. The horned head completely destroyed the tavern run by the old man.
“ah.”
The owner scratched his head. The bodies of the soldiers who received the instructions expanded and transformed into half-dragons. About 30 anti-dragons rushed at them all at once, but Orsay wasn’t interested in them.
bang! He kicked off the body of the blue dragon and leaped forward, rushing at Vanarti. The appearance of Orsay flying with the tip of the spear in front was so fast that it was difficult to even perceive. cried Ronan.
“Hey Examiner!”
【Oh no…!】
Vanartier sighed. His horns glowed white as he barely noticed the attack. A total of seven layers of defense blocked the gap between the two dragons. Each one was an advanced magic that high-ranking wizards could cast over dozens of minutes.
‘amazing.’
Ronan was amazed. However, Orsay’s abilities did not end there. Whoop! In an instant, his new form disappeared like dispersing fog. Then, it skipped the section where the shield was activated and appeared in front of Vanartier’s nose. Vanartier’s face twisted in shock.
【Blink, the magic used by lower creatures…!】
【It took quite a while to get used to it.】
Orsay thrust out her lance without hesitation. It was a distance that could not be avoided or blocked. Ronan, who was worse off, reflexively pulled the hilt.
“Damn bothering you!”
The vivid color of the sunset came up through the blade. The spiral twisted blade was about to pierce Vanartier’s heart. Suaa…! A scarlet halo wrapped around Orsay’s body. He was dragged in front of Ronan, and he raised his eyes.
【What…!】
Orsay hurriedly turned her body and attempted a counterattack. However, Ronan’s sword was already flying with a red tail. As the sword cut through the skin, blood spurted out. Orce squeezed his wounds and pulled away.
【Great!】
After taking about ten steps, Orsay gritted her teeth. A sharp stab wound ran from his chest to his left flank. Red blood was gushing out through the cracks in his coat. Instead of digging straight in, Ronan took a position that allowed him to skillfully switch between offense and defense. He pointed the tip of his sword at Orsay and muttered.
“Do that.”
【…You’re using a unique ability.】
Orse gritted his teeth. It was the first time I saw it, so I couldn’t respond. The creepy touch unique to the holy sword was bringing back his old memories.
The composition of the polymorph magic collapsed, and scales were rising all over the body. The whites surrounding the iris were dyed black. Orsay, who had barely regained his composure, growled ferociously. 【
How dare you
touch my body with that…!】
Ronan smiled. However, contrary to his relaxed attitude, he was seized with extreme tension. Clearly, even with a good swing, the blade failed to cut through the muscle.
‘Is it because a demon dragon is a demon dragon?’
it was strong It couldn’t even be compared to poisonous dragons. At that time, the soldiers who seized the opportunity rushed at Orsay.
“Humans created opportunities! Catch it!”
“It doesn’t matter if I kill you!”
The scaly hunks came pouring in from every direction except underfoot. Their armor and weapons were strengthened by Vanartier’s magic and sprayed white light. Soon, Orsay’s figure was about to be hidden.
【Get out of the way!】
An angry roar erupted from the backs of the soldiers. Holding the spear with both hands, he slammed the floor. Sensing a threat, Ronan raised his sword vertically.
“Nimi…!”
At the same time, a black aura exploded around Orsay. Kwaaaang-! Disassembled buildings and fences were turned into powder and blown away. The shredded bodies of the soldiers splattered like grains of rice.
The torrent of mana, dotted with murderous intent, split left and right the moment it touched La Mancha’s blade. The explosion didn’t last very long. Vanartier sighed.
【My God.】
The bustling back alley had turned into a vacant lot about 10m in diameter. The horribly dismembered bodies of the soldiers were still wearing their magic-enhanced armor.
Through the smoke that slowly subsided, Orsay, who was still alive, appeared. His form, which had been blurred for an instant, appeared in front of Ronan’s eyes.
【Get rid of that filthy metal in front of me!】
“I knew that. This chewy. ”
Ronan responded to the attack without panic. Kaaaang-! The spear and sword clashed, and the metallic sound resounded above Adren. The two exchanged sword strikes without retreating a single step. Ronan twitched his lips.
‘strong. It’s really strong.’
At first glance, it seemed like an even match, but in reality it was not. The sky-sent Mujae was allowed to parry Orsay’s attacks and occasionally hurt them, but the fundamental difference in weight class was too great. God damn it, I competed sword with that demon dragon.
【Kuaaa!】
Moreover, Orsay was becoming more violent as the battle progressed. Black horns grew on either side of its head. As it gradually got closer to its true form, the lance’s movements became faster and stronger. It was a car where two people who had retreated at the same time were about to collide again. A huge magic circle was drawn beneath Orsay’s feet.
【Stop.】
A woman’s voice rang out. Spikes made of steel rose from inside the magic circle. The curved thorns, like the claws of a bird of prey, were taller than most buildings.
[Hey!]
Orsay dodged the attack by leaping vertically. Kang! Where he was, the interlocking thorns vomited a metallic sound. It was the moment when his rising body slowed down for a moment. The steel spikes shattered and turned into hundreds of fragments. Clap! Debris shot up into the air and stuck to Orsay’s limbs.
[Kuh…!]
It was like being handcuffed and shackled. Orce, unable to overcome the weight, crashed to the floor. At the same time, dozens of the same magic circles as before covered his head. Kagagagak! Steel thorns poured down like rain and pierced Orsay’s surroundings, creating a temporary prison. A voice came again.
【That’s it. Orsay.]
Ronan turned his head in the direction of the voice. A woman in uniform stood with her hands behind her back. She was a very cold beauty. Grayish-white hair shining in the moonlight reminded me of snow-covered steel.
Ronan’s eyes widened. He noticed that the identity of the woman was another dragon that had never been in battle.
Even a glimpse of the energy could tell that it was a much stronger dragon than Vanartie or LaLatarsian. Orsay, unable to move, opened his mouth.
【…You are a face in my memory. Her nickname was a steel courtesan.]
【It was the empress. It’s a nickname I put down because I’m serving someone else now.]
【That’s it. But do you think you can imprison me with some kind of trapping technique?]
Orsay groaned. He swung his spear lightly as if to drive away flies. Kwajangchang! The densely packed thorns shattered at once. Fuck this. What is that because it looks plausible? Ronan was about to say something about her incompetence. The woman shook her head slowly.
【Of course I don’t think so. I’m just here to pass the time.]
[What?]
Orsay tilted her head at the incomprehensible words. At that moment, a golden ray of light flew through the night sky and penetrated Orsay’s chest. Quaaaaaa! The shadows of the street disappeared for a moment in a flash of light enough to melt the retina.
【Huh…!】
There was no time to react. Orsay’s eyes widened as if they would pop out. Ronan reflexively turned his head. A gale from the heat whipped back his bangs.
“Nimi what is this…”
The beam quickly faded. Orsay’s stomach had a hole the size of a man’s head. Ronan turned his head to find the source of the beam. A faint remnant of light streaked across the night sky.
“Dragon King?”
Ronan’s eyes widened. The other end of the afterimage was connected to the old tower in the middle of the city. As far as he knew, it was definitely the place where the dragon king resided.
[Heuk!]
Orse, who was staggering, vomited blood. Dark red blood poured down the street. At that moment, a beam of light shot from the center of the tower once again. This time it didn’t hit because the trajectory was visible. bang! Orse, who avoided the beam by a short distance, glared at the tower.
【How dare you…!】
Her red eyes were blazing like they were going to burn. Despite the fatal serious injury, his momentum was still there, but his body seemed to be unable to support him. Orsay glared at Ronan and the woman and muttered softly.
【Let’s see.】
“You talk like you can escape.”
It seemed that he was planning to run away. Of course, Ronan had no intention of letting Orsay go. It was the car that Ronan was trying to activate his aura on. Suddenly, the woman next to him grabbed him by the shoulder.
【Wait a minute.】
“What is it?”
Ronan hesitated at the unexpected restraint. Orsay’s body became hazy like fog. I looked away, but he was already gone. Ronan, who cut off the woman’s hand, said angrily.
“Damn you missed it.”
[You can form a separate tracking team to chase them. You can’t escape by already activating a barrier on all of Adren. And now there are more urgent matters]
the woman said calmly. It was a reasonable argument, so the anger softened a little. Ronan took a deep breath and opened his mouth.
“What is it?”
【Our King wants to see you there.】
