Academy’s Genius Swordmaster - Chapter 306
[ 306. Decisive Battle (13) ]
#306
“The Dragon King…!”
Ronan exclaimed. It was a face I hadn’t seen in a long time. It was Ajidhaka, the dragon king, who was entrusted with the mission of protecting Dreemur after the Lord of Adren was reborn.
Even though the golden body was covered with scars, it still did not lose its luster. The two heads of the Dragon King, who looked at him, opened their mouths at the same time.
[It’s been a while-]
[The kid who saved the city of dragons.]
The strange way of speaking was still the same. When the left head said goodbye, the right head spoke. Ronan, who was dumbfounded, giggled.
“…You came quickly. It even looks healthy.”
To be honest, I thought they were all killed by giants long ago. It was too late, and no matter how flexible they were, the number of giants was too great. The left head raised the corner of its mouth.
【Sorry for being late-】
【Because I was trying to catch up.】
The Dragon King explained that he was late because he was gathering resistance and rescuing Navardoze. Come to think of it, it was a question of how Adeshan had found out the location of Navardoze, which hadn’t been found yet. Ronan shook his head.
“I am just grateful that I came. But how did you find Navardoze?”
[It was really luck. Someone you know well…]
It was the car the dragon king was trying to answer. Aaaaaang-! At the place where Navardoze and the King of Giants had crashed, a roaring sound resounded as if mountains were colliding with each other. When he lowered his head, he saw the king and Navardoze in a savage melee.
[Stop disappearing now, you monster!]
『How dare you dare to immortals of inferior races…!』
It was an overwhelming sight just by looking at it. Navardoze’s teeth gleamed, and red and blue blood splattered whenever the king, who had lost his sword, swung his fist. The giants who were attacking the allied forces changed their course one by one and were trying to help the king.
【…I guess-】
【I think I need to deal with that first.】
“I agree.”
After hearing the dragon king’s words, Ronan nodded. It was a trivial explanation, something to listen to later. A loud cry shook the night sky.
【Tell me! Everyone from Dreemur, obey my command!]
【Defeate the filthy intruders and prevent the end of the world!】
Next, golden wings spanning 1,000 meters spread out as if they were exploding. Whoa! A fierce gale tore through the clouds. Hundreds of dragons appeared from behind the white sea that covered the sky.
[Cra la la la!]
[Kha ha ha, what a suitable place to end a long life!]
A roar echoed. It really seemed like everything came together. The dragons, led by the Dragon King, began descending all at once.
It was a sight as if the sky was collapsing. The bewildered giants threw spears of light, but they were not as easily shot down as they had been through a fight with Duaru.
『That movement…』
[Did you think we would just be suffering-]
[You monsters!]
The faces of the giants were perplexed. The allied forces on the ground and the dragon army descending from the air acted as hammers and anvils and began to crush them. Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind Ronan.
【Ronan. I was taken care of before.]
“You…”
Ronan turned his head. A whole white dragon was looking down at him. Silvery white scales made of metal. It was Naransonia, the steel dragon who was closest to the Dragon King.
【I just received news about your sister. Somehow, most of them tasted good. Let us send reinforcements as well.]
“Thank you. It seems that the general delivered it to you. But your wings…”
Ronan narrowed his eyes when he suddenly saw Naransonia’s wings. The wings that had been ripped off while fighting the giant Duaru had sprouted again.
Come to think of it, the dragon king’s left hind leg was back intact. He was in the midst of questioning whether even a dragon could regenerate like this. On top of Naransonia’s back, a young man stuck out his head.
“How is it that you don’t like it? I mean, I think it was really well made.”
“Eight, what a fucking surprise.”
Surprised by the sudden appearance, Ronan spat out a curse. What is that bastard doing over there? The young man who was looking at Ronan burst into a hearty laugh.
“Hahahaha, I’m afraid. A foolish guy has a cute side.”
“What are you?”
“You can’t remember? This is sad.”
The young man gasped as if he was dumbfounded. The oddly irritating top was somehow familiar. The savior who looked up at them from the ground widened his eyes.
“Alibrihe?”
“…saver.”
The young man who met eyes with the savior avoided his gaze. It was the expression of someone who was feeling remorse. Hearing the name Alibrihe, Ronan raised his eyebrows.
A prosthetic hand maker and one of the elders of Nebula Klage. It was the black dragon that I met and parted with in Adren.
Come to think of it, the Alibrihe seen in the savior’s memories took on the same young man he is now. He was just directing the appearance of an old man with Polymorph, but that was his real face. The savior who was staring at him opened his mouth.
“Nice to meet you. friend.”
“…don’t call me that. How shameless am I to hear that you are my friend?”
Alibrihe twitched her lips. Unlike Elthea, she seemed to feel remorse for the fact that she had been cooperating with Nebula Clazie for a long time. The savior continued without hesitation.
“I have to avoid the rain, but what? Did you free Navardoze?”
“…what the heck. The sealing stone Abel used was originally designed and made by me.”
Alibrihe groaned. A genius inventor, he said that one day he created a magic tool that could seal any being, no matter how powerful, on Abel’s command.
“A lot of materials that can never be obtained again were put in. It was the greatest masterpiece of my life… I never thought it would be used to seal the Mother of Fire.”
“You mean it wasn’t originally intended for that purpose?”
“I don’t know the details, but it probably is. Abel didn’t even see Navardoze-sama as a variable in the first place…Is Abel dead?”
“maybe. I honestly don’t know.”
The savior narrowed his brow. Alibrihe tilted her head at the ambiguous answer. If it’s dead, then it’s dead. What is probably?
“It’s something you should check from time to time. That… Cain.”
“Why but.”
“…I’m sorry. really.”
Alibrihe lowered her head. It was a word that made me feel a lot of remorse. The savior smiled slightly and raised his hand as if he was okay.
Ronan deliberately didn’t say anything. Whether it’s a monster that drank the blood of a giant or a dragon, male pride is all the same. Before long, Alibrihe raised her head and smiled.
“Haha… Anyway, I’ve never seen such a mess in my life.”
All around, it was so terrifying and noisy that there was nowhere to look. I haven’t seen anything like this since hatching. Even though I was notified of the situation in advance, I couldn’t help but be astonished.
Flames were gushing from all over the headquarter, which boasted of being impregnable. An unknown storm was roaring around the top of the castle tower.
The destruction of Nebula Clazier was imminent. I thought there was no hope that I would not be able to defeat Abel no matter what I did, but the people finally managed to do it.
‘To really protect it.’
The thrilled Alibrihe was in the middle of clenching his fists. Ronan, who looked at him and the savior alternately, opened his mouth.
“Didn’t you say you would remain a bystander?”
“…You don’t even give me time to be impressed. I was going to do that…but I’ve changed my mind.”
“Why all of a sudden?”
“Seeing you and your friends gave me hope. Even if I get scolded, the bad thoughts that I might be able to do it keep coming to my mind.”
Alibrihe dragged on. He said that he created artificial bodies for the Dragon King’s legs and Naransonia’s wings, as well as all the other crippled dragons.
“That’s good.”
Ronan grinned. Things are a lot better than a little while ago.
It was no exaggeration to say that the army led by Navardoze and the Dragon King was the most powerful force on this planet. Ronan took a deep breath and continued.
“good. Then let’s put an end to it.”
Alibrihe responded with a smile. At the same time, Ronan, who activated an aura, rode on Naransonia’s back.
The fluttering wings folded as if clinging to the body. Wow! The fastest dragon in Adren began to dive towards the King of Giants.
****
【Kuhahaha! I am the strongest!]
【Khehehehehehe!】
Bang! Quaang! The dragons fell into a happy dream and fell one by one. All the dragons giggling despite their broken bones were troops dispatched to catch Lee. Her powers have ripped through the minds of even the most powerful races in the world.
“Ahahaha…so shall we play there?”
Iril was still walking around the battlefield with a bright laugh. It was unreasonably fast, so it was difficult to catch. In the sky, the dragon’s squadron and on the ground, the allied forces controlled by Adeshan were pursuing her.
[Be vigilant and keep a certain distance!]
Adeshan shouted in full voice. She took her eyes off the king for a moment and focused on Iril.
Hwaaak! The dragons that were recklessly chasing Irill flew up into the air. They cursed at their fellow countrymen becoming jerks in real time.
【What the hell is that ability?! That smart Wolfrancita has become a complete idiot!]
【It’s annoying, but can’t we just burn it?】
“I mean this, but you’d better not say that again.”
Adeshan warned sternly. Fortunately, at the mention of Ronan’s name, the dragons became obedient without much complaint. They knew who killed Duaru and saved Adren.
【I get it. okay. It’s okay to just do what you’re told!]
At that time, one of the chaser dragons activated magic. At the same time as his horn flashed, huge walls of rock erupted around Erill. Kurleung! A single 10m high wall completely blocked her escape.
[Now, surround it!]
Seizing the opportunity, Adeshan commanded. The soldiers who had been chasing Irill around rushed at him.
Their spirits were taken over, and they dutifully performed their roles even while letting out stupid laughs. Seeing them run inside the rock wall, Adeshan asked the savior.
“Are you sure you’ll be fine if you drink this?”
A small glass bottle was clutched in her hand. A red liquid was oozing from the inside. It was the blood that the savior drew from the vicinity of the heart.
“okay. Probably. I don’t know what method my foolish brother used, but it’s probably some kind of curse.”
“All right. Fortunately, the solution itself is quite simple.”
Adeshan let out a sigh of relief. I wondered if there was no way to do it, so I had to faint or confine it somewhere, but it seemed like I wouldn’t have to do such a rough thing.
Now, he was thinking about how to give her medicine because he was struggling. Kwaaaang-! Suddenly, an explosion erupted from inside the rock wall surrounding Iril.
“what?!”
Adeshan and the savior turned their heads at the same time. All sides of the siege walls had collapsed, spewing up dust. Seeing the neat cross-section, Adeshan bit her lower lip.
“…It must be more difficult than I thought.”
All the personnel involved were unconscious and collapsed. Before long, a woman appeared above the scattered people. Iril, who was looking around, muttered in a trembling voice.
“Oooh…why are you doing this to us?”
“shit.”
Adeshan groaned. A longsword was clutched in Iril’s right hand, whose eyes were still closed. In the world beyond the eyelids, she was desperately resisting the enemy who threatened her sister and children.
“…Are you hallucinating? I didn’t kill anyone in the process.”
muttered the savior. There were occasional cuts or stabs among the scattered soldiers, but no one was killed.
‘Am I going to have to use a rough method?’
Adeshan gritted his teeth. If this was the case, more troops would have to be deployed aggressively. I’m really sorry for Ronan, but I thought Erill might get hurt a little.
I wanted to find another way, but I couldn’t afford it. Even for her, it was never easy to manage both the troops against the giant and the pursuit team at the same time.
Adeshan, who had made a decision, was about to send a telegram. Someone’s voice came from not far away.
“I… don’t.”
“what?”
The familiar voice had been heard in all four lives. Adeshan’s eyes widened as he turned his head.
Schlieffen Sinivan de Grancia. The genius who had risen to the position of the continent’s number one sword amidst any variables stood there covered in blood.
