Academy’s Genius Swordmaster - Chapter 253

253. Advent (1)

#253

The morning air was heavy. An alien air current flowed into the interior of the broken wall. Even the cluster of stars embroidered in the sky had a bizarre color that was somewhat different from usual.

Ronan twitched his lips. The pain in my joints didn’t feel good. It didn’t seem strange no matter what terrible thing happened.

But now I couldn’t afford to pay attention to such vague ominous things. The Dragon King and his subordinates flopping in front of him were forcing him to focus on the current situation.

‘Why are you quiet?’

The only strange thing was that the dragon king and his men didn’t do anything. I couldn’t figure out why the guy who acted like he was going to eat everyone alive just a moment ago.

The Dragon King was flapping his wings in the middle of the sky, and his subordinates circled around him like hungry crows. However, he instinctively sensed that if he tried to play nonsense, he would immediately attack.

Orsay lay on his injured body and closed his eyes as if trying to recover his strength. It was the first time this had happened, so I didn’t know what to do.

I felt like I needed to know how this happened. Ronan looked back at Asher and asked.

“Hey, why is that woman with you? What happened to the wound?”

“I suddenly joined in the middle of the road. I was injured by a beam of light and one of my wings flew off.”

“beam? Are you talking about that three-headed breath?”

“Ughhh.”

Asher nodded quickly. He briefly explained what happened after Ronan and Schlieffen jumped. Ronan narrowed his eyes after hearing the news of Naransonia’s tragedy.

“You attacked the Dragon King? Wasn’t this woman the right-hand man of Samdaegari?”

“I don’t know the details either. But I think it’s true that the dragon king has become strange.”

Asher said that Naransonia had come to stop her master from becoming like a different person. In the same sense, there were about 20 dragons that followed her, but they were all killed while trying to stop the dragon king with Naransonia. Being hit by the beams emitted by his master.

“It’s completely turned around.”

Ronan clicked his tongue. I was guessing, but I didn’t know if it had reached that point.

It seemed unnecessary to ask whether Naransonia’s attempt had succeeded in the end. The appearance of the dragon king, which was losing its color like a dead coral, was informing us of the hopeless situation.

Even the demon dragon Orsay couldn’t defeat him. Asher, recalling the memories of fighting the Dragon King, spoke with a trembling voice.

“He and the Dragon King are so strong… they are getting stronger. Ooh, we’re all going to die…”

【If you say that one more time, I’ll eat you. Wizard.】

“Hehehehe…!”

Hearing Orsay’s threats, Asher shrugged. It seemed like they got a little closer during the fight. The dragon king, who had been silent for a while, opened his mouth.

【…I was thinking about it for a while.】

“Worried?”

【About the value of your existence. If we took Navardoze and his son’s henchman as hostages, I think we’d be able to gain a considerable advantage in terms of strategy.] The

third head said in a dry tone. I didn’t like the way people treated fish on a cutting board. Ronan, who grabbed the hilt, raised his chin and asked.

“So, did you come to a conclusion?”

[Yes.]

The third head nodded. Judging from how he was talking in the past tense, he seemed to have a rough idea of what to say next. Ronan and Asher Schlieffen, who quickly exchanged glances, took a combat stance.

【As expected, you guys will be useless.】

“I knew it would end like this, damn it.”

Ronan spat out a curse. At the same time, the dragon king’s three mouths opened. Gooooo…! Inside the red throat, a glowing mass began to coalesce.

“I’m going to break through while cutting with my sword, so stick close and follow me.”

said Ronan. After he was ready, he was about to drive forward. Aaaaaang! The body of Orsay, who had been crouching down like an invalid, was fired at the Dragon King.

【Do you think it will go your own way!】

“Orsay?!”

The group’s eyes widened. The appearance of Orsay rushing forward with all four wings folded reminded me of a black harpoon. Unlike Naransonia, Asher, who was still riding on his back, screamed.

“Hyaaaaaagh!”

It was a formidable speed. However, it seemed that the other side was also expecting this to happen. The dragons circling around the Dragon King blocked his way and fired their breaths.

【Give up!】 Breaths

containing flames, lightning, blizzards, poison, and crushed rocks poured toward Orsay. The range was too wide to dodge with Blink.

“B Blizzard Armor!”

At that time, Asher chanted a spell with his eyes tightly closed. Chow! A thick layer of ice armor grew over Orsay’s body. Sharp thorns grew like a cactus on the armor that completely covered the body from head to tail.

【That’s it. Wizard.]

“Save the four people!!”

Orsay laughed. He charged at the dragons without slowing down at all. Feeling an unusual threat, the dragons tried to retreat, but Orsay was already right in front of them.

It was the moment when the dragon collided with the dragon’s wall! A red flower bloomed in the air with a radical rupture. Parts of the body, including torn wings and internal organs, fell like heavy rain.

【Awesome!】

【My wings…!】

【Stop him-!!】

A desperate scream rang out. Wherever Orse passed, crippled dragons were falling like fallen leaves. However, there were too many enemies to reach the Dragon King.

“That strong idiot…!”

Ronan bit his lower lip. No matter how much Orsay, that amount could not be handled at once. Someone had to divert attention.

Thinking deeply, Ronan winked at Schlieffen. Since they couldn’t stop the ceremony anyway, there was nothing to call it a plan. If it’s that bastard’s wish, it’ll work out somehow.

Schlieffen accepted Ronan’s lunatic proposal without much objection. After exchanging glances, they jumped out of the Sky Tower.

Whoa! It was in the middle of the two people falling helplessly. Ronan turned upside down and shouted with a hand rolled up and brought to his mouth.

“This way! Lizards with dementia!”

[Hmm?]

Several dragons lowered their eyes. Ronan drew his sword and activated his aura. Paaa…! As the sunset light embroidered the air, a green dragon flapping its wings was dragged right in front of his eyes.

【What is this…】

The green dragon’s eyes widened. Falling Ronan and Schlieffen swung their swords at the same time. Each one of the sword strikes crossed the middle of the dragon’s neck.

Awesome! The long, thin head compared to the body fell off at once. The blood that burst out soaked both of their faces. One of the dragons who saw the sight shouted urgently.

【It’s there too! Catch it!]

Some of the dragons that were rushing at Orsay began descending towards Ronan and Schlieffen. Orse finally broke through the encirclement and clashed with the Dragon King. The roar of the two giant dragons shook Adren.

It didn’t take long for the situation to end.

****

The battle with Orsay was over in less than an hour. The sky rushing towards morning was tinged with a gloomy light.

The Dragon King stood over the ruined city. People’s screams and wails could be heard from below the burned and crushed buildings. Suddenly, a human servant stumbled closer.

“Your Majesty…! Please help. Suddenly, a ray of light fell from the sky and the city…”

He spoke of the tragedy that befell him while leaning on the dragon king’s hind legs. There was a roar in the middle of the night, but suddenly everything disappeared. Blood was dripping down the severed leg.

“The city… ah…”

Puffed out. The man who was speaking collapsed on the rubble. The body, which had flinched several times, drooped. Chiik… The blood that flowed down the slope extinguished the remaining fire.

[Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…]

The two heads who confirmed the man’s death let out a drool. It was the only area that was not stained white.

With this, the number of people who sought help from themselves and saw dead people exceeded three digits.

【You got the power you wanted, why are you doing that?】

The third head saw that and asked a question. I wasn’t trying to be sarcastic, I was really curious.

【Adren is my kingdom. No other king in the world-]

【Doesn’t destroy the country she rules like this!】

The two heads, which had been grinding their teeth for a long time, burst into roars. Attachment and Greed The pride of the one who wore the crown was making him angry.

【What Jim wanted was to defeat Navardoze, not something like this-】

【Really, something like this…!】

Random breaths and wide-area magic turned Adren into hell. It was an atrocity committed by the third head who had taken control of the body from a certain moment.

The third head did whatever it took to achieve its goal of subduing Orsay. He clicked his tongue in annoyance.

【noisy. It’s just a process to achieve our goal. As soon as the remaining rats are sorted out, we will start a war with the mother of fire, so keep quiet.]

Ronan and Schlieffen have not yet been caught. It was only a matter of time since his subordinates were chasing after him anyway.

Suddenly, the third head raised its gaze and let out a sneer.

【This is your limit. Demonic dragon.]

【Damn it…】

Orsay growled weakly. He was imprisoned inside a huge sphere with only his head and part of his torso missing. The spheres were composed of all sorts of plant vines and hard materials such as metal rocks.

Orsay fought really hard. It was said that he had over tens of thousands of dragons killed in an hour. His roaring roar as he tore the flesh of his fellow countrymen was truly worthy of being called a demonic dragon.

However, it was not enough to reverse the victorious momentum once. The Dragon King even used a kind of brainwashing magic to deal with his subordinates, and the number of dragons residing in Adren was far greater than Orsay had expected.

Moreover, after completing the Nebula Clazie ritual, the Dragon King became several times stronger than before. In the end, Orsay, who exhausted all his strength and crashed, was sealed alive in the middle of Adren. Orse rolled her eyes back and said to Asher.

【Escape. Wizard.]

“How can I…! I have to get up!”

Asher sat down at the part where Orsay’s neck and torso joined. Fortunately, there was space left in the structure, so he could escape if he wanted to. Orsay shook his head.

【Already too late.】

【You know it well.】

Suddenly, the mouth of the third head opened wide. A small sun bloomed in the back of his throat as the entire mana gathered. It was a beam attack that turned everything he touched that he had seen so much into ashes.

【That’s what the end of a loser is like. I will send my regards to Navardoze.]

The third head spoke mockingly. Orsay laughed. No matter how hard I tried, my body wouldn’t move.

Is this what it feels like to see an arrow flying towards your heart? It was a car about to shoot the sun in the mouth in the form of a light beam. Asher’s weeping eyes widened.

“uh…?”

Suddenly the sky brightened.

[Hmm?]

The three heads of the Dragon King raised their heads at the same time. A magic circle large enough to swallow the whole of Adren covered the sky. Within dozens of layers of concentric circles, bizarre characters that could not be found anywhere in the world were wriggling as if they were alive.

“What is that?”

“Is it the magic Your Majesty invoked?”

Survivors moaning in pain raised their heads. The sky beyond the magic circle was roaring as if a thunderstorm would pour out at any moment. A third head raised its neck. The center of the magic circle slowly opened and something white descended.

【…Human?】

The legs exposed under the clouds were unmistakably human. However, it was several times larger in size.

What is that? It was a car that narrowed the eyes of the third head. The clouds that flowed through the night sky dispersed at once, creating a huge hole. Whoa! A gale that blew around the magic circle swept the area.

【What is this!】

【The wind…!】

Confusion erupted from everywhere. The dragons flying around lost their balance and stumbled. The wind was so strong that more and more people were blown away and landed in the Sky Tower.

Every time the wind roared and swung its arms, the towering spires all over the city were breaking one by one. Pedestrians outside were holding on to roadside trees or mailboxes.

[Kuh…!]

It was a strong wind that was very annoying even to the dragon king, who boasted the size and weight of Mount Taesan. Having barely overcome the wind, he raised his head. The owner of the bridge was revealing his complete appearance.

[What is it?]

The face of the third head hardened. A huge white human with two pairs of wings on its back was descending under the magic circle.

‘I don’t feel good.’

I couldn’t figure out what it was doing. However, one thing was certain. It seemed like something very troublesome would happen if I left it alone. The third head, which made an immediate decision, fired its breath at the giant.

【Go away!】

Kwaaaaaang! The torrent of light that flew through the wind hit the target. A roar resounded as if the mountain had been uprooted.

The explosion was so intense that it completely covered the eastern sky with light. A few seconds later, it was the moment when the smoke obscuring the giant disappeared.

【What…!】

The dragon king’s face hardened. The unidentified giant survived without a single wound. The spherical force field surrounding his body shimmered with bizarre colors.

Perhaps the beam was blocked there. The dragon king, embarrassed by the incomprehensible situation, immediately prepared a second breath.

The giant, who was slowly looking around the surroundings, stretched out his arm. Particles of light were gathering in the center of his outstretched palms.

【That one?】

Orse frowned. He was staring at the unknown giant, forgetting that he had been captured. Before long, a long spear five times his own height was in the hands of a giant.

“Wait a minute… that’s something…”

Asher, who sensed an instinctive ominous feeling, was about to say something. Hiss! The giant’s right arm disappeared in an instant. A flash of light that stretched out in a straight line crossed Adren.

hooked! The long spear made of light was stuck in the middle of the Sky Tower, neither the Dragon King nor the Orsay. Contrary to the splendid production, nothing special happened.

It was a car that everyone, including the Dragon King and Orsay, was puzzled by. Kwaaaaaaang-!! A long spear driven deep into the wall caused a great explosion. A roar resounded like a thousand lightning bolts striking at the same time.

【What…!】

The Dragon King’s eyes widened. The unrealistic expansion of energy blew away the entire outer wall and severely damaged the skeleton. The old tower in the sky, which seemed to last until the end of the world, began to lean slowly.

“The Sky Tower is collapsing!”

Consternation erupted from everywhere. A thick cloud of smoke swallowed the moon and stars.

『Duaru executes the sentence.』

A voice deep and low, like a cave with flowing lava, echoed through the sky above Adren. The particles of light gathering again were holding a new spear in the giant’s hand.

“Everything according to His will.”
