Academy’s Genius Swordmaster - Chapter 291

[ 291. Decisive battle (1) ]

#291

Navardoze let out a breath. The fireball stuck in her throat was fired at Nebula Klagie’s headquarters. For an instant, all Allied forces stopped moving.

“Shoot shot!”

someone shouted Eventually, this moment had to come. A ball of fire so bright and hot that one could believe it was the younger brother of the sun was sliding through the wind.

“Everyone close your eyes and bow your heads! Send a request for assistance to the Mage Tower!”

“Respond calmly!”

It was important from here. The commanders leading each unit quickly began to issue orders. Soldiers, as they had practiced, sought cover or ducked their heads and turned away from the fireballs.

[Aun Pillar. Now.]

[Confirmed. This is amazing.]

Adeshan sent a telegram to the tower masters. The exclamation from Aun Pillar, the Dawning Tower Master, has returned. In charge of long-distance firepower support, he was watching the battle with the wizards under his command.

Whoops! At the same time, a huge force field covered the nine forts occupied by the allied forces. It was also the collaboration of all the Magic Towers, not just Dawn. It was a shield to block the recoil of fire emitted by Navardoze.

“please…!”

It didn’t take 5 seconds to get here. Adeshan closed his eyes and clenched his fists. Peace on the continent was right in front of me. It was the moment when the smaller fireball collided with the protection of the stars covering the headquarters.

Kwaaaaaang-!! A roar rang out. An indescribable flash of light and heat covered the white earth. Everything in sight was consumed in crimson flames.

“Keugh…!”

“Hold on!”

The soldiers gritted their teeth. Even with the five layers of defense in between, the terrible heat was vividly felt. The barriers that reached the critical point in an instant were shaking like crazy.

“Haaaaagh!”

【Wait…】

Not a single ant cub survived outside the shield. Believers and artificial giants who managed to survive were reduced to ashes and oxidized before they could let out their screams of death.

The bodies scattered across grass and trees were all consumed in the flames. The screams of the air shook the heavens and the earth. The primordial fire soared into the sky, drawing a whirlwind of flames thousands of meters in diameter.

It seemed that even a god would not survive there. Soon the whirlwind dissipated and the flames died down. Asher’s eyes widened.

“I threw up…!”

Instead of entering the shield, he took refuge in the distant skies. The headquarters, which appeared from the spot where the smoke had blown away, was not wearing the protection of the stars. Orse, who was carrying Asher, laughed.

【It’s a monster without an answer.】

At this point, I was dumbfounded. It seemed that the shame of fainting after being hit in the chest had eased a little. The soldiers who opened their eyes belatedly let out an astonishment.

“Look! Their defenses are disappearing!”

“My God really!”

Cheers erupted from the nine forts. The protection of the stars that could not overcome the heat was crumbling. The inside of the castle, which was not properly visible, was revealed.

“How much less than you think? Did you bring everything inside?”

“I turned nine forts, and that’s worth it. It looks like you’ve run out of money now.”

The soldiers groaned. Is it because of the dispersal of personnel? The number of believers deployed above the walls seemed no different from the troops resisting in each fortress.

However, if there was something that bothered him, it was the mana that swayed in the depths of the castle. A huge amount of mana was rising to the sky in an invisible column.

“What is that?”

“I don’t know. It looks like it’s doing something…”

I couldn’t get the details. Almost everyone looked up at Navardoze at the same time. After spitting out the fire, she was flapping her wings in place, catching her breath. Adeshan tilted her head.

“Navardoze-sama…?”

Even though he had an amazing record, his expression was not very good. Her eyes were still glaring at the Pale Castle.

The soldiers who did not know that were waiting for orders to charge, confident in victory. It was around a minute or so. Navardoze, who had been growling, spat out.

【I will shoot one more shot.】

“Yes?”

People’s eyes widened. The embarrassed commanders were about to say something. Wow! Her mouth opened wide, and fire spewed out once more.

“Wait, Navardoze!”

Schlieffen exclaimed urgently. Now that the shield was gone, there was a high chance that Illil would get caught up in it.

But the die had already been cast. Torrents of flame had already reached the Pale Castle. The panicking soldiers were about to close their eyes again and turn around. Wow! The flames that were about to collide with the castle split left and right.

“What the hell is that!?”

“Wealth fire split!”

The soldiers’ eyes widened as if they would pop out. I couldn’t believe it even when I saw it. Instead of reaching the castle, the cracked flames were passing sideways.

Something was blocking her fire. Sensing an instant crisis, Adeshan shouted at her.

“It’s dangerous!”

[Hmm?]

Navardoze narrowed his brows. At the same time, a crescent moon shot out from the spot where the flames split. The crescent moon shimmering in bizarre colors was as huge as the fortress where the allied forces were stationed.

“Swordsmanship…!”

Adeshan’s eyes widened. It was unmistakable swordsmanship no matter how you look at it or how it looked. However, its size and prestige were completely unrealistic.

Navardoze increased his firepower as if he was getting nervous, but the sword spirit did not stop. The crescent moon that flew through the flames was about to hit her.

【Damn it.】

In the end, Navardoze twisted his body first. At the same time, the sword blade lightly brushed her wings. Chew! Blood splattered at the spot where the sword had passed.

“I am Navardoze!”

Adeshan covered her mouth with both hands. The red scales, which had been intact even after being hit directly by the artificial giant’s spear, were neatly cut off. Silence fell over the shocked Allied camp. Suddenly, someone’s voice rang out from the castle.

“Twice is not a problem. miss.”

【You…】

Navardoze’s eyes widened. A man was standing on top of the white castle wall where the flames had completely died out. The white hair was as impressive as the long sword in his right hand and the clothes he was wearing. Seeing his face, Adeshan widened her eyes.

“…Ronan?”

The man’s face was very similar to Ronan’s. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were the same person, except that they were a bit older and had different hair colors.

Suddenly, someone’s impression Ronan had told me flashed through my mind. It was not that difficult to infer the man’s identity. she muttered as if screaming.

“Chief Abel…!”

“What?”

Marja, who was next to her, raised her eyebrows. The fact that that man was the leader quickly spread throughout the army. It was while they were frozen for a while. Wow! Navardoze’s wings spread as if they were about to explode.

【Don’t interfere. I will take care of that person.]

It wasn’t that he didn’t know much about Abel. However, the dragon’s sensitive scales warned him that he was the most dangerous adversary.

The reduced body gradually swelled and returned to its original size. Newly grown scales were covering the wounds on the shoulder blades.

Folding her wings, she shot forward. At about the same time, Abel’s form disappeared from sight. Wow! The crash sounded exactly at the halfway point. Abel laughed.

“You have an impatient personality.”

[Shut up, evil thing.]

Navardoze said in a contemptuous tone. Instead of replying, Abel turned the sword around and grabbed it. The hand that competed with her was shaking as if it would break at any moment.

“Your strength is useless again.”

It was not for nothing that she was praised as the mother of fire. It was a car that he was thinking about how to hold this. Suddenly, Navardoze’s horn flashed, and a huge, translucent sphere wrapped around the two of them. Abel shrugged his eyebrows.

“What is this again?”

【Your ambition ends here.】

Navardoze growled. It was a shield to prevent the aftermath of the battle from radiating to the outside. The moment Abel was about to say something, the figures of the two disappeared along with the shield.

“They are gone.”

“You said that was the teacher? How is the situation going?”

This was another unexpected situation. It was in the midst of confusion among the soldiers. Suddenly, Navardoze’s cry resounded high in the sky.

【All advance! Exterminate all the evil groups trying to make your ugly fantasies come true!]

“Navardoze-sama…!”

I couldn’t see it, but I heard it clearly. It seemed that he was fighting a battle with the cult leader in this space. Suddenly, the space where Navardoze was was overturned, and Lorhorn jumped out.

“Okay then, let’s go too.”

“The Archmage?”

The soldiers’ eyes widened. Returning to the form of an old man, his hand was already enchanted with the magic he was casting. match! He clapped his hands as he recited a few incantations. A small magic circle was drawn under the feet of all allies.

“This…?”

“It’s not like you can walk that far. Become a storm.”

Lorhorn smiled at the soldiers’ bewilderment. Subsequently, all the magic circles lit up at once, and the space where the allied troops were located was overturned.

“Huh!”

Faaaah-! The people who opened their eyes again inhaled in vain. The allied forces, which had been dispersed in nine forts, were gathered in one place. They were besieging the Pale Castle with perfect formations.

“oh my god.”

“Did you move 100,000 people at the same time?”

The high walls of the castle stretched out in front of him. The pillar of mana that was visible from afar was also close enough to touch. The believers who were placed on top of the wall were astonished.

“Damn, what the hell!?”

“The Archbishop!”

It was a magic worthy of being called the Great Wizard. It didn’t take long to adapt. The commanders, who shared their strategy by telephony, were about to give orders to charge. Suddenly, a high-pitched voice resounded from the top of the castle wall.

“welcome. everyone.”

“huh?”

Adeshan raised her head. A woman in a fancy robe was looking down at the allies. Outwardly, she was just a young and beautiful girl, but the energy that bloomed over her shoulders was unusual.

“Everyone had a hard time getting here. I was really impressed with your ability. Even if it’s fake, I didn’t expect you to defeat all those giants.”

the woman spoke The bewildered people listened to her, not even thinking about answering. It was the moment when Adeshan, who came to his senses first, aimed his crossbow. Archbishop Le Thanxie smiled.

“Then, bye bye.”

It was a gentle laugh. Subsequently, the mana pillars that had risen above the castle, which had been an eyesore from earlier, were amplified dozens of times.

Whoa! At the same time, the clouds covering the sky dissipated at once. Allied eyes widened as if they would pop out. Dozens of huge magic circles were densely embroidering the sky.

“…no.”

someone chanted It was an unforgettable sight to see once and for all eternity. I had seen magic circles wriggling with strange patterns before.

As if to prove him, the white giants were slowly descending, tearing through the magic circle. With as little as four and as many as six wings, they weren’t artificially made fakes.

It was clear that it had been prepared for a very long time. Only then did people realize that the nine forts were built to pass the time, not just for defense. A despairing sigh leaked from Adeshan’s lips.

“Was it hidden behind a cloud…!”

I didn’t notice at all. The flapping of wings echoed over the scorched earth. A gale that would uproot whole trees was getting closer.

Nobody moved. no one raised a voice Schlieffen, the two Sword Saints, and even Lorhorn, all frozen, stared at the sky where the giants descended.

Overwhelmed with despair, they forgot they were even breathing. At that time, the first giant to come down reached out his hand. It had four wings, but it was much bigger than Duaru or Basagia.

The gathered particles held a spear made of light in his hand. The giant aimed at the ground opened his mouth.

“Ahayute executes the sentence.”
