Academy’s Genius Swordmaster - Chapter 239

239. Dragon King (4)

#239

‘…War?’

Hearing the dragon king’s words, Ronan narrowed his eyes. Judging from the spleen in his voice, it seemed that he wasn’t just talking out of a mood.

Suddenly, something the bishop had said flashed through my mind. You said that when your new head grows, you won’t be able to deal with Navardoze anymore. Ronan’s head turned quickly.

An attitude that is different from the rumors and a suspicious remark that he is no longer wary of her. Contact with Nebula Clazier. Soon after processing the given information, he spat out a curse.

“Nimi. That crazy lizard.”

“Ro Ronan? What’s wrong all of a sudden?”

Asher asked in a confused voice. Instead of answering, Ronan clenched his fists. That pair of heads was preparing for war with Navardoze. While eating the power of bald heads.

‘Is it because of this that I’m not vigilant?’

It seemed like they were holding hands for their own strength in the end. What Ronan was seeing now was an event that had never happened in his previous life.

Because the contact with Adren itself was a special measure taken by Abel due to the church’s recent bad situation. Come to think of it, this shit happened because of me.

‘It’s dangerous.’

Seriously, I thought that Navardoze might be in danger. Even if the dragon king itself is inferior to her, the story is different if he receives the power of a strange star. It was an extraterrestrial force that deviated from reason.

Moreover, the Dragon King was, as the name implies, the king of dragons and the lord of Adren. The fact that he cooperated with the Order meant that there was a high possibility that subordinates and servants under him would also stick to the bald followers.

This was a very funny situation. I didn’t even know what to do. I can’t believe I was captured from the top.

It was in the midst of Ronan moaning from the headache that was creeping up. Suaa… Suddenly, the light of the magic circle the dragon king was stepping on faded. The bishop, who was talking with the dragon king, opened his mouth.

“That’s it. The rest will continue tomorrow.”

It seemed that today’s ritual had been completed. The dragon king, who was gazing at the sky, folded his wings and bowed his head. The third head, covered with white scales, was already half grown.

【I can still do more-】

【It’s a pity.】

Both heads smacked their lips. Fanatics bowed their heads and showed their respect. The glitter that filled the night air was slowly fading.

Believers began to take care of the tools used in the ritual. Ronan, who was thinking about what to do next, finally made a decision. His extended index finger pointed at the followers.

“Assel. Let’s wait and follow those worms.”

“What?”

“Oh, I can’t see your fingers. I was talking about those fanatics.”

“I understand that in context, but…”

Asher’s eyes widened. Schlieffen was silently staring at each of the believers in turn. Ronan continued.

“These bastards don’t sleep well either. There is a high probability that there is a sleeping quarters in this tower. If you search there, won’t you find something?”

If no clues were found, he would even torture him. At least we can get information about one of Alibrihena’s cult leaders.

The problem was that there were quite a lot of people and they were so talented that they seemed to have to assassinate or defeat them individually. Since there was no specific countermeasure, Asher and Schlieffen had no choice but to accept Ronan’s opinion.

Asher, who took a deep breath, was the car that was trying to move the party. Suddenly, a bishop stretched out his hand toward the three. The sound of reciting an incantation escaped from between his parted lips.

“Wind Spear.”

“What…!”

Ronan’s eyes widened. In an instant, small magic circles were drawn in front of the bishop’s hand, and dozens of spears made of wind were shot at the three people. Asher sighed.

“Hick…!”

“Shit.”

Ronan bit his lower lip. It was too much to avoid. Even if they were caught, they had to be cut or cut. It was the moment he was about to pull the hilt of his sword.

Hiss! Schlieffen quickly swung his sword. It was a quick and skillful move, as if he had been waiting for it in advance. The strong wind that blew along the sword path slightly twisted the trajectories of the spears.

“you…!”

“Something seemed like this. He kept glancing at me.”

Schlieffen said. Whoa! The spears of wind, which should have hit originally, passed near the bodies of the three people with a gap of a sheet of paper. Unlike the act of blocking or cutting, I did not feel uncomfortable. To the people’s eyes, dozens of wind spears only seemed to cross empty space.

“…was it because of my mood?”

The bishop who cast the spell shrugged. The Dragon King was also looking at him with a strange gaze. he said displeasedly.

【Now-】

【What are you doing?】

“Forgive me for being rude. It’s nothing else, it seems like I can feel the presence of people around there…”

The bishop got down on one knee and admitted his mistake. In the meantime, his gaze stayed on the spot where he had just shot the spear. I must have felt something.

【Haha, can’t you? Who dares to disobey my order-]

【You mean hanging around the tower?】

The Dragon King laughed. His confident voice sounded almost arrogant. Asher, who was crying as if he would commit suicide at any moment, opened his mouth.

“Roronan. I think we should avoid it for now.”

“…okay.”

Ronan clicked his tongue. There was no denying that it was a very close situation. The invisibility didn’t come off, and he was hiding his presence, but he almost got caught out of pure intuition.

‘Patience. Who is not a bishop?’

I felt like I had to move the place once to prevent a recurrence of the same thing. Ronan, thinking about where to go, pointed to a window two floors below.

“Let’s go in first. I think I can just wait over there and follow you.”

“Yes. okay.”

There was only one stairway from the rooftop to the lower floor. Asher slowly moved the party. Fortunately, the bishop’s gaze did not follow.

They re-entered the tower through a window. There was no one inside.

“…Huh!”

dump. Asher, who landed everyone, sat down on the floor. The tiny body was trembling. He muttered, wiping his eyes.

“I thought I was going to die…”

“It was hard. you are the best.”

Ronan gave a thumbs up. In fact, it was as if this child had done everything. I wondered if it was the Asher I knew to maintain telekinesis even when the wind lance brushed against my cheek. Ronan, who had been patting him on the back, turned to Schlieffen.

“You are the second best. Thanks to you, I didn’t notice.”

“The best is a word that refers to only one that is the best.”

Schlieffen replied dryly. Normally, I would have used vulgar metaphors and scolded him, but not today. If he hadn’t dealt with it, he would have been caught. He was probably beaten to death by the dragon king and fanatics and fell to his death.

“good. Then, take a break and move…”

“I found it. These rats.”

Ronan, who was giggling, was about to say something. Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind. Goosebumps ran up his spine, as if he had been splashed with cold water.

They slowly turned their heads. A middle-aged man in a white robe stood in front of the stairs about twenty paces away. It was the bishop who shot the wind spear at the party.

“I know you are there. Show yourself obediently.”

Dozens of magic circles were already spread out in front of him. The same wind spears and swords that were shot earlier were sticking out their heads like moray eels.

The invisibility magic was working, but it seemed certain that it was caught. Ronan, who suddenly felt bleak, looked up and saw a glowing magic circle clinging to the ceiling. As expected, the weapons of wind were sticking their heads out.

‘Fuck.’

Ronan bit his lower lip. It was a contemplation that looked suspicious, but it seemed that he was following him. The protection of the stars shimmering in bizarre colors was wrapped around his body.

“…let it go.”

“Ro Ronan…!”

“hurry.”

He sighed and kicked Asher’s leg. The invisible magic was lifted and the figures of the three were revealed. The corners of the bishop’s mouth went up.

“I feel good. I was going to shoot them right away if all three of them didn’t show up.”

Ronan didn’t say anything. However, he was examining the situation by quickly rolling his head and eyeballs. It seemed that he had come down alone, judging from the lack of presence around him.

“What I felt earlier must have been unfounded. You don’t look like the dragon king’s servant, what are you doing here?”

the bishop continued. If he did anything suspicious, he was ready to fire his weapons.

Ronan, who finished his judgment, switched his core. The texture of the mana changed and the sparkling mana began to rise above his shoulders. he opened his mouth

“We are allies, Bishop. Following Alibrihe’s orders, I was forced to follow her.”

Ronan answered without changing his expression. Hearing the name Alibrihe, the bishop raised his eyebrows.

“what? Mr. Alibrihe?”

“That’s right. During the meeting with Dragon King Ajidahakawa, he told me to secretly check to make sure nothing happened. Since it’s the same dragon, you know its nature, so you must be worried.”

The bishop’s eyes widened. To be a mere spy, he knew too much information about the church. His status as a bishop and the connection with the Dragon King. To the point that Alibrihe is a dragon.

Besides, when I looked closely, the dark-haired young man had a distinctive sign of Nebula Clarge. He tilted his head.

“…Is that true?”

“yes. He told me never to get caught, but he has no face.”

“It’s hard to believe. I heard you declare with your own mouth that you will not be interfered with by anyone except the headmaster during your vacation.”

“I just said it like it is. Perhaps, since he is now here in Adren, he feels old.”

said Ronan. Asher and Schlieffen even felt admiration for his motionless face. How could a person be so good at lying?

“Hmmmm…”

the bishop drooled. The light of the magic circles faded.

Ronan sang a silent delight. Judging by the fact that he did not deny the location, it seemed certain that Alibrihe was here in Adren. I didn’t know you were on vacation.

“I still can’t believe it. I can’t even feel the power of the stars from the two in the back. Please state your branch and name.”

The worried bishop opened his mouth again. Ronan, who quickly exchanged glances with the party, smiled sadly.

“That is troublesome. It was all just a lie.”

“what?”

The bishop frowned. At the same time, Ronan pulled the hilt. He tried to activate his magic again, but La Mancha’s sword was already stained with the color of the sunset. Paaa! A halo of light seemed to shimmer for a moment, and then the bishop’s new model was dragged right in front of Ronan’s eyes.

“what…!”

The Bishop’s eyes widened. The slash that flew with a scarlet tail cut through the protection of the stars like tofu. Sugak! A red line was drawn across his neck. With no time to resist, the detached head soared into the air.

“This invisible hand!”

Asher reached out and chanted an incantation. The torso that fell and the head that flew in the sky, the fresh blood that soared like a fountain stopped in the air. Ronan let out a sigh of relief after confirming that there was no blood around him.

“Huh… well done.”

“Ouch!”

Ronan patted Asher on the back. It was a time when the perfect crime was still possible. I was thinking of escaping anyway, but there was a chance that I would be pursued sooner if I left a trail. Asher asked.

“What should I do with this corpse?”

“We should crush it so that it cannot be recognized and throw it out the window. Hold on to it.”

“uh?”

Asher tilted his head. Ronan swung his sword before he could say anything. Chow! The corpse that had been suspended in the air disintegrated into hundreds of pieces. I was holding on to it with telekinesis, so it didn’t fall off. Ronan, who finished the work in an instant, nodded.

“good. Now roll it up like a ball and throw it out. as far as possible.”

“Hee hee hee!”

It was a calm tone, as if asking for a glass of water over there. Asher’s face went white.

Just imagining it made me nauseous, but there was nothing I could do about it now. It was at this moment that he was about to set about making the most disgusting meat dumplings in the world. The moonlight that came in through the window disappeared in an instant.

“hmm?”

All three turned their heads at the same time. And it just froze. One of the Dragon King’s heads was turned upside down, looking at them. Silence fell as if time had stopped.

【Why are you guys-】

【Are you here?】

The Dragon King said. The woman’s voice seemed to be lowered only on the left side, judging from the voice coming from up there.

[I told you not to come out. Could it be that everything-]

[Have you seen it?]

Ronan cursed in his mouth. The sound of plans being shattered seemed to ring in my ears. After a moment of silence, he opened his mouth.

“Oh yes. I couldn’t sleep, so I wandered around…”

【That’s sad. The hero who defeated the evil dragon, and those whom I personally congratulated-] 【

To think I had to send them like this.】

The Dragon King cut off Ronan’s back and sighed softly. Suddenly, his mouth opened up and down. Particles of light gathered and condensed deep inside his throat.

“… jump out.”

said Ronan. As he lifted Asher, who was sitting down, he turned around at the same time. It was the moment when Ronan and Schlieffen ran out and threw themselves down the stairs. Wow! A torrent of light poured out like a tidal wave and swept through the hallway.

“Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”

Asher let out a scream that seemed like his soul would be pulled out. A golden ray of light broke through the opposite wall and stretched out into the western sky. The Dragon King’s voice resounded loudly.

【I tell you! All compatriots and servants residing in the Sky Tower and Adren obey my command!】

【Catch the intruder!】
