Academy’s Genius Swordmaster - Chapter 325
[Abduction 9. In the New Continent (3) ]

“Wait a minute, what are you going to do?”
Ronan, who was reading a book on the sofa, got up. The voice echoed because it was so wide. He left the island and was staying in a mansion built on his estate.
Sunlight streamed in through the windows and streamed through the living room. Adeshan, who was about to descend the stairs leading to the basement, stopped in place.
“huh? I’m going to go to the warehouse for the first time in a while.”
“What are those dusters and dishcloths?”
“I just wanted to do a little cleaning. what’s the matter?”
she shrugged. Now, three months after he had been to Nimburton, Adeshan’s stomach was quite swollen. Ronan shook his head.
“Don’t do anything stupid and sit down. What if I get hurt?”
“I can’t go out much because my body is so heavy, but let me do housework.”
Adeshan said as if complaining. I know you’re worried, but Ronan’s overprotectiveness was a bit severe. Ronan, who was like a wild wolf, became a bookkeeper comparable to Schlieffen after she became pregnant. He strode forward and embraced Adeshan like a princess.
“I know how you feel, but not now. miss.”
“Kyaaak!”
Adeshan let out a short scream. Of course, it was not a scream out of fear or dislike, but a scream of intense happiness.
Returning to his feet, Ronan laid Adeshan down on the couch he was sitting on. She giggled as she placed her hand on her belly.
“You should know that Daddy loves you so much.”
“I love you Adeshan.”
“Don’t talk like that. You haven’t even had the first one, but you want to start with the second one.”
Adeshan smiled. Usually, having a child makes you gain weight and make your hair frizzy, but Adeshan was still beautiful. They say that when a woman is in love, she becomes pretty.
It seemed that if I got into the atmosphere like this, I would commit it as it is. Ronan, who kissed her forehead silently, pointed out the window.
“If you’re bored, go for a walk. It’s been well taken care of.”
A vast garden spread out beyond the window. The barren land of Baltoule all winter was dyed light green under the summer sun. The wild flowers that Adeshan had sown were blooming everywhere.
“huh. I will. thank you.”
“I’ll be leaving soon too.”
Adeshan nodded. After Ronan gave her a parasol, she safely stepped into the basement. The dark space that doubled as a warehouse was covered with white dust as expected.
‘You did a good job drying it.’
It was because he forbade the attendants to clean because he had many personal items. Ronan looked around the warehouse, shaking off dust and cobwebs. I was in the middle of looking at a certain shelf.
“This is…”
Ronan, who noticed something, narrowed his eyes. Five watermelon-sized statues were lined up and broken. In the middle of the fragments, papers with red letters on a yellow background were scattered on the floor.
It must have been the sealing stone of the New Continent that Sheeta had brought back in the past. All but one were horribly broken, and the cause was unknown.
It was the moment when Ronan, who thought it strange, tried to put his hand on the only surviving statue. Great! Suddenly, a large crack occurred and the statue collapsed.
As if the being that sealed the power died. He frowned and spat out a curse.
“What the fuck.”

The white moon was beautiful. There was still a huge lake hanging under the dark blue evening sky. Dense broad-leaved forests surrounded the lakeside.
It was the Blue Night Lake, one of the demonic landscapes of the New World. It was an elegant resort that many people visited about a hundred years ago because of its beautiful scenery and many fish, but it has become completely abandoned after the pandemonium began to gain traction.
“Ah, if you don’t come out, there’s no way for me either.”
Asher floated above the lake. Muttering to himself, he stretched out his hand toward another moon shimmering on the surface of the water. It was the moment when I took a pulling posture.
“Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
A moaning scream resounded from the bottom of the lake. Countless fish jumped out of the water. Chow! Before long, the surface of the water split to reveal the head of a giant salamander.
“How dare you dare to do this to me, the Four Heavenly Kings of Pandemonium!”
cried the salamander. At the same time, purple poison mist poured out from between the wide mouths. It was a deadly poison that would kill a human instantly if they swallowed just one sip, but Asher’s shield did not allow even a single particle to pass through.
Asher continued the salvage operation, ignoring the poison fog. As he chanted a brief incantation, the salamander’s body, hidden beneath the water, was pulled out by the root. Chow ah! Seeing the absurdly huge body, Asher gasped.
“Hey…! I’m sorry!”
“Ah! I will definitely remember your face!”
Only the length of the tail was that of a fair-sized whale. The unique slippery skin of an amphibian glistened in the moonlight. The salamander struggled with all his might to get back into the water, but it was not enough to escape Asher’s telekinesis. Marya, who was watching the scene from the lakeside, opened her mouth.
“The body will be inside.”
“Yes.”
Asher nodded. He snapped his fingers lightly, and an invisible fist struck the salamander’s stomach. bang! As the salamander vomited, a lump of something protruded from its gaping mouth.
“Quaaaaaagh!”
The mass possessed by telekinesis let out a desperate scream. He was an old man who must have been a hundred years old.
A black robe, a symbol of pandemonium, was draped over her slender body. At the same time as the old man jumped out, the takgi that had been encroaching on the salamander’s eyes disappeared.
“You’re welcome!”
“Don’t get caught now.”
Asher released the power that held the salamander while holding the old man. The salamander, which fell as it was, disappeared with a huge splash of water as big as its own body. The immobilized old man let out a bewilderment.
“Uh how…!”
“It’s obvious. Catching a spirit creature and harassing it is your tactic.”
Marja laughed. She and Asher, who had been dealing with pandemonium for three months, had gradually become accustomed to their tactics. The villains brainwashed the so-called spiritual beasts and corrupted them.
Looking back, a lot has happened in the past three months. After receiving an offer from Yeongwollim, one of the famous groups in the New World, they put their work in the upper guild aside for a while and focused their efforts on clearing the Pandemonium.
Of course, it was not a charity project, but to expand its influence in the New World. There would be no better publicity than helping people in distress. The sweep was almost over.
‘Looking at the Four Heavenly Kings, there really isn’t much left.’
At this rate, it wasn’t like a dream for the Caravel Merchant to establish itself as a new colossus in the new continent. Everything was possible because Asher was there. Marja was looking up at him with affectionate eyes.
“Do you think I’m going to get hit like this!”
“uh?”
Suddenly the old man extended his index finger towards Marja. Mana A lump, called a pore here, was shot in a straight line.
“Ugh…!”
It was the moment when Marya, who wanted to regret it, pulled out her greatsword. A mass of hits exploded around her. Wow! A huge column of water several meters in diameter shot up into the sky. Asher’s eyes widened.
“Marya!”
“Ha ha ha! You were careless. This is what happens because you only care about your own safety!”
The old man burst into madness. A huge pit had been dug at the site where the qigong hit directly. Oh ah ah … The water pillars that rose to the clouds were tormented and black rain was pouring. Asher’s face was filled with despair.
“Ah, be surprised. I almost died.”
Suddenly Marja’s voice rang out. Before long, she appeared from behind a huge tree. Fortunately, I was able to get out of the seat before being caught in the explosion.
“Mama Mara…! are you okay?!”
“then. It’s perfectly fine.”
Asher cried. Marja stretched out her hand, made a V sign, and smiled pleasantly. Fortunately, there seemed to be no damage other than the dirty clothes and face. The old man’s face hardened when he saw her alive.
“What!”
It was impossible. Marja was about to say something about being a man and why so many tears. Asher, with a cold expression, looked back at the old man.
“…you.”
“What is it?”
The old man shrugged. The atmosphere was completely different from before. Sensing unusual energy, he was looking for a way to escape. The force holding the old man suddenly became stronger.
“Ke-heo-eok!”
Blood gushed out of the old man’s mouth. The sound of bones breaking sporadically echoed throughout the subdued body. Marja suddenly sensed a jolt under her feet and shouted in bewilderment.
“Wow what!?”
It seemed like there was an earthquake. Suddenly, a translucent force field enveloped her body. It was a shield to prevent Asher from getting caught up in large-scale magic. Marja, who looked at him and the old man alternately, let out a mischievous laugh.
“You are now dead.”
“Quaaaaaagh! Let go!”
The old man was screaming with his vocal chords torn. His body, which continued to rise, stopped near the cloud. Asher, who was reciting the incantation, lifted both palms up. Quadruped! The surrounding trees and ground were ripped from the ground and began to rise into the air.
“what…!”
The old man was astonished. I’d never seen or heard anything like this. The terrain had completely changed.
Asher was still staring at the old man. I didn’t mean to treat it well. In the Eastern Continent, the compatibility of attributes was considered important. Fire is subdued by water, water by earth, earth by wood, and wood by metal. Finally, the metal was subdued again with fire.
The main attribute of the old man was either water or soil. After completing the calculation, he folded his palms together like a snowball. The floating ground and trees all shot at the old man.
“Stop that!”
the old man cried out. Asher did not answer. Kwakwawang! A mountain’s worth of dirt and trees began colliding with his body as a target.
“……!”
A roar drowned out the old man’s cries. It was like a new star being formed. Before long, a huge sphere was created under the moon.
“Eternal Floating.”
After completing the sphere, Asher chanted a new spell. It was a magic that gave objects the property of floating semi-permanently. Wow…! The mana released from Asher’s fingertips covered the sphere as if it were wrapped around it.
Unless something happened now, the orb that trapped the old man would be floating in this place forever. It was quite spectacular to see it glowing black in the backlight. After finishing the work, Asher landed in front of Marya.
“Marya! am i really okay? Aren’t you hurt!?”
“Then it’s okay. I am fine.”
Asher burst into tears and asked how she was doing. Marja hugged him wordlessly. The shivering of his shoulders made him look like a completely different person than when he hit the old man.
The gap in this expression drove people crazy. The tears on her eyelashes were beautiful. Marya, who had been looking down at him quietly, smiled as if it were absurd.
“Oh really. It makes me cringe.”
“Huh?…Ew!”
Suddenly, Marja grabbed Asher by the collar and pulled him roughly. Before he could say anything, his lips overlapped. The two of them mixed their tongues for a long time before their mouths fell.
“Fugh, wait a minute. Here…!”
“shut up.”
Marja, wiping her mouth with her sleeve, pushed Asher down. He shouted something, but it was drowned out by the lapping of the lake. The night in the new continent was getting deeper.
