Academy’s Genius Swordmaster - Chapter 246
246. With the dragon (3)
#246
The battle resumed. After hitting the ground, Orsay leaped toward the enemy camp. Sharp thorns of ice rose like spines and crossed the enemy lines. The soldiers who could not escape screamed.
“Haaaaagh!”
“Eh ice?!”
The ice inherited from the Winter Witch pierced the half dragon’s scales like tofu. In a way, it was only natural that he had driven Itargand to the brink of death in the first place. The skewered soldiers soared into the air.
“Kuuuuuong!”
“Hey, calm down, calm down… ghast!”
Larger drakes suffered even greater damage. It was pierced through the feet or abdomen, and it trampled and killed nearby soldiers as they fell or tried to avoid the thorns. The flame breath closest to the dragon’s fire was being sprayed at random without being able to identify Pia.
“It kills you.”
Ronan, who was watching the mess, shed admiration. After all, there was nothing better than a wizard’s wide-area attack to start a melee. The nickname Killing Machine was by no means an exaggeration.
“Hee hee hee! sorry sorry! I’m scared…!”
Although it was a little funny that he, who was playing the concerto of death, was squashed in that corner. Ronan looked back at Asher and sighed.
“Yumma. You are the scariest here.”
“Hey! Come again!”
Asher let out a shrill scream. The three half-dragons that were rushing at him flew away at the gesture he swung as if to shake off his opponent. In any case, since I was doing my job well, I didn’t have anything to say.
【You guys dare!】
At that time, an angry cry resonated in the middle of the enemy camp. Ronan turned his head and saw a woman expanding like a watered sponge. Bluish scales were exposed under the torn spot of the long silk garment.
“Fuck.”
forgot for a while The dragon woman who released the polymorph was returning to her true form. The severed left arm was regenerating while stumbling around. It was a fairly powerful blue dragon whose joints were tingling with energy exuding from its body.
‘It will take quite a while.’
Ronan twitched his lips. To be honest, dragons in their original state were not usually difficult opponents. It would be nice if Orsay could get rid of those things at once, but I couldn’t see him.
“Where has this bastard gone?”
“Keoouk!”
Ronan stirred the battlefield as he sliced through the soldiers. Hot blood soaked his face, and the severed limbs fell like ripe fruit from a tree. The sense of smell had long since been paralyzed.
Ronan’s gaze, which was wandering like that, stopped in one place. Orsay was fighting in the back of the enemy camp, wielding a spear. Unlike usual, two people in white clothes surrounded him, who was struggling.
“Nebula Clazie.”
Ronan’s brow wrinkled. Come to think of it, they were also a pair. Both of them looked like branch leaders, but they were all fighting while wearing the protection of the stars.
‘That doesn’t match very well.’
Tearing the protection of the stars was a different thing from being strong. Then Orsay, who caught the gap, threw out his spear. Kaaaang! A loud metallic sound rang out.
【Damn it…!】
However, the attack didn’t work this time either. Orse gritted his teeth. There was not even a scratch on the curtain shimmering in bizarre colors.
A carefree smile hung over the face of the old woman on the other side of the curtain. When her eyes met Orsay’s, she held a nasty sneer.
“It is futile. Demon dragon.”
[Dare!]
Orsay burst into anger. It was the first time the attack was blocked.
I hadn’t even reached Navardoze yet, and this shouldn’t have happened. Leaning back for an instant, he grabbed the spear pole with both hands. An even stronger black aura came up around the long spear.
[Disappear!]
Orsay turned into a black whirlwind and charged. The two fanatics were attacked by a strong attack that could even crush the head of any dragon at once. Wow! At the same time as the collision, the ship roared louder than before.
【Unbelievable…】
However, the curtain was still drawn in front of him as if nothing had happened. For the first time, bewilderment appeared on Orsay’s face. It seemed like he was having a terrible nightmare.
“Now die.”
“All things will perish in the name of the stars.”
Conversely, the believers who caught the gap went on the attack. The old woman chanted a shady incantation and the other swung her sword.
Shocked, Orsay stood still. The white-forged blade was about to cut through his body. Chew! A red crescent moon flew from a blind spot and passed through the bodies of the two followers.
“uh…?”
“Keuk.”
Orsay’s eyes widened. The protection of the star, which could not be broken no matter what they did, was crumbling. iron puck. The upper bodies separated from the waist fell to the floor. A familiar voice came from the direction from which the sword was flying.
“be careful. Attacks don’t work well with these bastards.”
Orse hurriedly turned his head. Ronan was standing. Around him, dozens of corpses of other Nebula Clans were strewn about.
It was cut in advance so that Asher and Orse could run amok. Fortunately, there were no bishops or lycopos, so the work could be completed quickly. Orsay, who was dumbfounded, opened his mouth.
【…What did you do?】
“Later. It’s too long to explain.”
Instead of answering, Ronan turned his back. There was no time to sit down and explain. After confirming once more that Nebula Klazie was gone, he ran up the stairs.
“Clean up and come. I will be there first.”
【Hey wait…】
Orsay tried to say something, but he was already running up the stairs. At that moment, a watery scream rang out from that corner.
“Hee hee! Buy it and save it!”
Asher was screaming while crouching in the ice barrier. A woman who had completely transformed into a dragon was striking the barrier with her fist.
【Come out and stick your neck out, you little thing-!】
“Hyaaaaaaa!”
It held up well, but it didn’t seem like it would last long. Even though they killed a lot, there were still numerous enemies left.
thud! thud! Every time the giant fist collided with the barrier, a crack like a spider’s web grew. As Orsay watched the scene, a sense of extreme anger and contempt suddenly rose in Orsay’s head.
Have I been ignored now? To both the enemy and the kid named Ronan?
【…I will kill you.】
Orsay growled lowly. It was a declaration with ambiguous meaning. As he grasped the spear, a pair of skyward-curving horns grew above his head.
Quaang! The shadow of Orsay, who leaped as if flying, fell over the heads of the enemies.
****
“Umm…”
Schlieffen groaned and opened his eyes. I couldn’t remember what happened before. Only the sound of the strong winds and the enemy that was continuously being destroyed remained sparsely in my memory.
‘…Did he live?’
I felt pain all over my body, as if I had bruises. He slowly looked around. A spacious room covered with treasures, but compared to the dragon king’s throne room, it was a much narrower space. Schlieffen, who was trying to move his body, narrowed his forehead.
“what…?”
The entire body, including the limbs, was motionless. Only then did Schlieffen realize that he was immobilized in a huge iron chair.
No matter how hard I tried, the tightly packed restraints didn’t even budge. Just then, a man’s voice came from behind.
【Are you awake already? What a great guy.]
It was a familiar voice. Footsteps were getting closer. Schlieffen couldn’t turn his head, so he had to wait for him to appear in front of him. Before long, a gentleman in a suit appeared.
“You…”
【Do you remember? Radhavanska.]
A gentleman named Radhavanska introduced himself with his hands behind his back. Schlieffen knew him. It was one of the dragons on the floor that made Ronan and Asher escape.
【Before you do anything obscene, I’ll praise you for your potential. I’ve never seen a swordsman as good as you in my life. Regardless of race.]
Radavanska recited Schlieffen’s activities one after another. Regardless of the type, the number of enemies cut was at least three digits.
Schlieffen did not answer. Even if he strengthened his strength with mana, the restraints were not released. Radavanska continued.
【My brother also died in the end. It was fatal that he cut his left arm and then his neck. Seeing my brother die right in front of me didn’t feel very good.]
For a moment, Schlieffen flinched. Come to think of it, there was one dragon that looked almost the same, but I remembered until the arm was cut off with the newly developed technology.
is it. I didn’t know at all because I fought in a trance, but did I cut his throat?
Thinking that I had slashed a dragon made me feel proud for some reason. Like other warriors, he dreamed of drenching his sword in dragon blood.
It was a moment when a faint smile appeared on Schlieffen’s lips. hooked! Suddenly, an intense pain arose in his right thigh.
“Big…!”
【What makes you laugh for fun? A bug-like guy.]
Schlieffen gritted his teeth. Radhavanska, who was crouching in front of him, growled. His forefinger dug deep into Schlieffen’s immobilized thigh.
Radhavanska waved her hand once and pulled out her index finger. Its long, pointed fingernails, like daggers, were dyed red. he said, licking the blood.
【You will have a good time with me until your colleague comes to visit. I don’t like torture-like torture, but I think I can do it without hesitation against my brother’s enemies.]
Schlieffen remained silent this time as well. The only words allowed to the captive warrior were shouts to kill quickly and not to waste time.
If he had fulfilled his will to save his comrades, there would be no reason to hesitate any more. But Schlieffen couldn’t bear to get the words out of his mouth. The lingering lingering feelings in a corner of his heart were making him weak.
‘If I had known this would happen… I would have done something.’
Iril’s face shimmered before his eyes. She was a woman who held onto her heart from the moment she first met her, but she was unable to express her feelings because she was too affectionate.
Suddenly, Ronan’s words flashed through my mind. I’m sure I said that Iril didn’t get hurt.
“…I’m sorry.”
Schlieffen murmured softly. Radhavanska would have liked it a lot if he had heard it, but his voice was so small that it didn’t come through. An eerie smile appeared on Radavanska’s lips as she heated her index finger over the candle.
【Then let’s start by plucking the eyes first.】
It was the car he was bringing his hand to Schlieffen’s eyes. Kwaaaaang!! Suddenly, a loud noise rang out from the doorway, shaking the entire floor. Radavanska hurriedly rose to her feet.
【Damn it!】
The stairs and the main gate were broken. The dust from the aisle was eroding the rare. It was so dark that I couldn’t see inside.
【…What is it?】
It was the moment when Radavanska was about to take a step. A round void appeared above the dust that covered the entrance. Poo-! There was a popping sound that could only be heard when meat was slashed with a cleaver.
【Oops!】
At the same time, blood spurted out of Radavanska’s mouth. When he lowered his gaze, he saw a white longsword growing through his stomach.
In an instant, another blank space appeared on top of the dust, and a certain red lump popped out. The bright eyes were drawing a trajectory along the line of movement. Upon encountering the lump, Schlieffen’s eyes widened as if they would pop out.
“Ronan?”
“This chewy. I was stuck here.”
It was Ronan. He was drenched in blood, as if he had been dipped in tomato stew. Radhavanska spat blood and shouted in an angry voice.
[What else are you…!]
I was about to shout. Ronan, who had rushed in a straight line, was already approaching his chin. Grabbing the hilt of the sword stuck in it, Ronan raised his arm. Sugak! A red arc was drawn and at the same time a vertical line was drawn across Radavanska’s face.
【…Ah.】
Through the cracked lips, a sigh leaked out. Chow ah! The line split left and right, and blood and brains poured out from the exposed cut surface. Ronan, who turned the sword around and grabbed it, fired a horizontal slash. The head, separated from the torso, fell to the floor.
Took. The rolling head stopped at Schlieffen’s feet. Ronan immediately swung his sword and cut the restraints binding him.
“How is this… um.”
Schlieffen, who staggered up, was about to say something. Ronan, who was rummaging through his pockets, threw something lightly.
Schlieffen reflexively grabbed it. The bloody pocket watch was ticking in his still trembling palm.
“This is…”
Schlieffen’s eyes widened. It was obviously given to Ronan himself. Along with a will to pass on to Miss Irill. Ronan, who kicked Radhavanska in the head, spat out.
“You delivered it yourself. Wipe it clean.”
