Academy’s Genius Swordmaster - Chapter 312

[ 312. End (3) ]

#312

It didn’t take long for the battle to end. Abel brushed off the blood on his knife and opened his mouth.

“how is it. Are you ready to give up hope now?”

No answer came back. Only Ronan, who had been confronting him until the very end, was giving an unreasonable answer while spitting up clotted blood.

“Gagging… Huh uh uh…!”

My whole body felt like it was burning. Traces of Abel’s sword cut or stabbed remained intact on the bare skin exposed under the torn clothing.

The bleeding wound showed no signs of healing easily. Indeed, it was the sword that turned the savior into a half-villain. Abel chuckled, showing the cut on his side.

“Still, I admired you. It would have been dangerous if it had been a little deeper. I knew that your talent was excellent, but I didn’t know it was like this.”

Ronan gritted his teeth. As he said, it should have ended at that time. Even if he hadn’t wasted his strength in the battle with the Bald King, he would have been able to pierce the sword into his heart.

‘Damn, if only I had time to recover.’

It sucked, but there was no turning back time. Ronan, who was muttering curse words in his mouth, made a rude hand gesture.

“Fuck you.”

“ha ha ha. also my nephew You have to come out like that

.”

Ronan growled as he pointed the tip of his sword at him. At Abel’s feet lay the seriously injured Zaifa and Nabiroze.

As soon as the melee started, the two swordsmen rushed at Abel, but were defeated. Zaifa was unconscious and passed out. Nabi Rose barely lifted her head and opened her mouth.

“Ro… I. Run away…”

Ronan twitched his lips as he ran into her. It was hard to keep my eyes open to see the sight of the bloody teacher being trampled by the enemy. Chew! Ronan made Abel retreat by shooting his sword.

“Clean up those dirty feet!”

“Roughness.”

Abel smiled wryly and backed away. Somehow he kept his master’s honor, but that didn’t make things any better.

Excluding the two swordsmen, there were many strong people scattered around. The moaning and screaming that came in succession was making the listener’s mind go crazy.

[Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!]

Not far away, Orse was writhing in pain. He returned to his true form and had a spiral spear carved from his own bone deeply embedded in his side.

Nearby, the head of the Grand Duke of Shadow was strewn about. The fanged mouth groaned slowly.

[Balzac…]

It was a miracle that he was still alive. The shredded body was scattered in all directions. If he hadn’t possessed seven essences of fresh blood that could revive even the dead, he would have followed his brother long ago.

Among those who fell were Navardoze and the Dragon King. He struggled despite enduring severe burns, but was defeated in the end. It was deadly to have a place in the sky when the first large-scale attack came.

“Roronan…”

Asher, who watched the confrontation from a distance, wept. Behind him were scattered unconscious friends, including Schlieffen and Marja Braum.

“Euuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…”

“W Here’s the medicine. We can’t all die… Huh?”

Iril, who was relatively unharmed, was busy running around tending to the wounded. Adeshan, who suffered a shoulder injury, groaned.

“Damn it…”

They were all huddled together. The protection of the hemispherical star raised by Asher was protecting over 5,000 people.

It was the force that Adeshan, realizing that there was no chance of victory, hastily retreated. A hoarse voice escaped her mouth as she lowered her head.

“I’m sorry…if I…was a little more competent…”

“Don’t say that…”

Asher shook his head. No one could blame her for doing her best.

In fact, if Abel made up his mind, he could have torn the divine protection right away, but he didn’t. It wasn’t to show mercy, but to look at the faces of people in despair for as long as possible.

Everyone on the battlefield knew that, but it was just a shame that no one could resist. Absorbing all the powers of the giants, Abel was far more powerful than Ronan expected.

He was also wounded in the battle, but all quickly healed except for the one Ronan gave. Abel suddenly turned his head and spoke in a voice mixed with admiration.

“ah. You were the one who surprised me the most today. Alibrihe.”

No answer came back. At the edge of his field of vision, Alibrihe, whose limbs had fallen off one by one, was breathing heavily.

“This… devilish bastard…”

It was not an exaggeration to say that the condition of Alibrihe, who had become rags, was second only to the Grand Duke of Shadow. Right next to him, a dimensional rift opened its blue mouth. Abel looked at the crack and laughed.

『I never thought I would have made another sealing stone identical to the one that imprisoned Navardoze… I admit that it was dangerous. If I was a little late, I would have been stuck.”

He let out a serious sigh of relief. Because Alibrihe took advantage of the melee and approached so stealthily, he almost got sealed.

The second sealing stone, made using the remaining materials, had the function of sending the first swallowed object to an isolated dimension. Of course, it’s all to no avail now.

『I will slowly think about who to throw in there. Please take a break

.”

Alibrihe, who was about to say something, collapsed and coughed up blood. Except for the remnant, which Adeshan retreated separately, all the soldiers were seriously injured and lay on the ground. A white haze-like substance was slowly blooming over the bodies of the dead.

“I didn’t intend to kill you right now. Seeing that scene ,

Abel clicked his tongue in a pitiful way. In fact, he hurt people in such a way that they wouldn’t die. It seemed that his weakened body could not overcome the injury.

All the haze that escaped from the corpse was being absorbed into Abel’s body. Ronan instinctively noticed that these were the souls of those killed by Abel.

‘Bitch. Did he really become a giant?’

cringe A cracking sound came from Ronan’s hand gripping the hilt. It seemed more appropriate to die or kill or settle the matter than continue to see that kind of thing.

‘I don’t know if it will happen once.’

I thought that I might be able to win if I aim for the opening well. First, I had to put him off guard. Ronan, who was silent for a moment, opened his mouth.

“Listen…Let’s see…”

“Hmm?”

“What the hell is your grand plan to do such a thing… Let’s hear it.”

Hearing Ronan’s question, Abel raised his eyebrows. Actually, I wasn’t curious about that at all, but I had to buy time. He glanced up at the white night sky and nodded.

“Well, we still have time, so let’s do that.”

I decided to be especially kind, as soon as everyone would know anyway. Abel, who drew the sword, continued.

“Actually, there is not much to explain. My purpose is to evolve the people living on this planet into higher-dimensional beings.”

“Higher-dimensional beings…?”

“okay. The giants you’ve cut down so far are typical. They are top predators that roam the universe and hunt planets. We kill the living beings living on the target star, absorb their souls, and live by growing our strength.”

Ronan frowned upon hearing Abel’s words. I didn’t understand even after listening to it again. He spat out while concentrating on recovering from his wounds.

“What an idiot… do you seriously think that living like that is better?”

『You guys who live a fleeting life will never know. How pathetic we are right now. It’s frustrating not being able to eat each other, even though we live tethered to stars smaller than dust.”

Abel’s face hardened for a moment. It was because he remembered the days he spent with the savior. He remembered all the mushroom clouds that rose above the atmosphere and the number of ephemeral civilizations.

“Then why did you hit the giants in the back?”

『It was to have the initiative of personality. Previously, we were mere prey, but once I have obtained their source, we will become the subjects of this collection of souls. We become eternal beings who neither die nor grow old, and

reign over the universe.”

『I assure you, I will build it in a better way than that. Because the shape of the soul body can be freely transformed.”

Abel said straight away that he also hated being bald. As if playing around with his sword, he turned to Iril.

『Actually, you could have met a much better ending. If I had left Ilil alone, at least I would have been able to meet my end with a happy dream. I couldn’t understand why he kicked the mercy he had worked so hard for.”

“You bastard is real. Is that mercy?”

“Then is there a word to replace? Anyway, don’t worry too much. Everyone except you will perish before you even know death…”

Suddenly, Abel dragged his tongue. Shining mana began to emanate from his body. He looked up at the sky and concluded his words.

『Anyway, it’s time to end it soon.』

Ronan’s eyebrows wrinkled. If something out of the ordinary were to surprise, it seemed that now would be the only time. Ronan jumped off the ground in an instant and aimed at Abel’s neck with a sword strike. Kaaang! A short metallic sound rang out.

“…Nimi.”

Ronan twitched his lips. Two blades were interlocking in front of my eyes. It was a desperate blow, but it was too easily intercepted.

“The lesser one. Did you think I wouldn’t know that you were dragging your time?”

“Shut up!”

Abel sneered. He was already aware of Ronan’s plans. Ronan, who was overcome with evil, swung his sword in succession, but all of them were blocked.

『Stop it. You’ve already lost.”

Abel laughed out loud. Despair hung over the faces of the survivors who watched. Abel, who quickly seized the victory, was about to finish. Suddenly, Adeshan, who was clutching at the wound, jumped up.

“Ronan! It is now!!”

A cracked cry rang out. At the same time, the mana of the shadow shot from her hit Abel. A power that seizes the mind enveloped him.

『Foolish. Do you think that will work now?”

But Abel was not shaken. In fact, Adeshan’s abilities had no effect on him now. Abel, with his eyes closed, was about to activate his mental barrier. An uncontrollable feeling of dizziness shook his head.

“Kuuk!”

Abel retched. It was like being hit by a powerful shockwave. Surprised by the strong reaction, Ronan raised his eyebrows.

“what?”

[Some kind of guy…!]

Abel, who hastily pulled himself away, looked around. His eyes, rolling in search of the culprit, stopped at a certain point. Iril was glaring at him from behind Asher’s tent.

『You’re…!』

“Don’t bully my little brother!”

Illil shouted as if pleading. The sunset-colored eyes were shining like they were burning. I wasn’t aware of it, but my abilities were manifesting. Among the powers of the saviors, the power to realize the strongest wish was attacking Abel. 『큭 …

big …!

I didn’t expect that two types of mental abilities would attack at once.

Of course, it was not without countermeasures. Because the power expressed from the source was strong enough to handle even that. Abel clenched his forehead and let out a short sigh.

[Haap!]

The mental curtain opened. The consciousness of the women who were eroding his mind was thrown out violently. Blood gushed from Adeshan’s nose and mouth.

“Gagging…!”

“Kyaaaagh!”

With a shriek, Iril fell backwards. Adeshan managed to catch her. An angry moan escaped Abel’s mouth.

“These damn bitches…!”

Abel staggered, clutching his forehead. Ronan instinctively sensed that this was his last chance. bang! Seeing him run again, Abel burst out laughing.

『I don’t think anything will change because of this fluke!』

Abel twisted his body and delivered a strong blow. Ronan, who had been pushed out of his strength, bounced back as if he had been hit by a battering ram. The faces of those who had their last hopes hardened. Abel exclaimed.

“It’s done now. I’ll kill them all!]

All of a sudden, Abel’s body lit up. The space around the absurdly powerful Mana began to distort.

“That’s…!”

“Are we all dying now?”

People instinctively noticed that it was the same attack that destroyed 30% of the stars. It was the moment when the two words “death” came to everyone’s mind.

Whoa! Suddenly, a crimson glow burst from the direction Ronan flew.

[Hmm?!]

Feeling pulled by something, Abel turned his head. Ronan was still flying. However, the direction was not serious. His body was heading towards the rift in the year dimension where Alibrihe was.

『You can’t believe it!』

“You stupid bastard. Did you notice just now?”

Abel was shocked. Ronan raised an eyebrow. He had no intention of missing out on his last chance. Using Abel’s power against him, he quickly reached the rift he was targeting.

“Come on!”

After shouting, Ronan grabbed the hilt. Faaaah-! The glow of the setting sun surrounding Abel’s body grew brighter. His body, which was barely holding on, was dragged as if it had been caught on a hook.

“This… how dare you!”

Abel tensed his legs. But no matter how hard I tried, the dragging didn’t stop. Ronan’s aura was much stronger than when he faced the King of Giants.

Abel, who held the sword hilt in reverse, plunged the sword into the floor. Kagagagak! A long line cut through the ground and the brakes began to apply. It was a moment when I was relieved that I could endure this. Ronan, who had reached the edge of the rift, shouted.

“Assel! push!!”

『What?』

“There’s no way that much mana will remain! Push that horo bastard’s back!”

Abel turned his head with an ominous foreboding. Asher, who had been blessed by the stars, was looking at him. He murmured in a voice that seemed like he would burst into tears at any moment.

“Ha, but…if you go in there, Ronan…!”

“Don’t think about the future! Do you want to finish everything?!”

Ronan got nervous and urged Asher. Realizing that there was no other way, Asher clenched his fists. Squeezing out the tears he had accumulated, he stretched out his arms.

“This invisible hand!”

[Wait…!]

Abel’s face hardened. Hwaaak! An invisible force pushed hard against his back. Her body, barely holding on, was thrown into the air and began to be dragged back.

“Caught. This chewy. ”

Ronan laughed. The dimensional rift had already swallowed him halfway. Abel, who lost his balance once, was dragged right in front of Ronan in the blink of an eye. There was nothing to respond to. Pooh! Ronan’s waiting sword pierced his chest.

『Gagging!』

The wound this time was deep. Blue blood gushed out of Abel’s mouth. The overlapping bodies of the two men crossed over to the other side of the dimensional rift. Ronan growled as he glared at Abel in the amorphous world.

“I will definitely kill you.”
