Academy’s Genius Swordmaster - Chapter 38

38. Scream from the ground (5)

#38

Ronan, who had disappeared, appeared between the two. Took. The man’s left arm fell to the floor. Soon, a burning pain overtook the man.

“Kwaaaaagh!”

A scream echoed through the great pupils. The man collapsed with his arms wrapped around him. Red blood gushed out through the cross section where the bones were visible.

Most wizards are incapacitated by pain alone, but Ronan had no intention of giving up. Awesome! The three sword strikes that flew right away cut off the man’s ankles and tongue.

“Heh heh heh!”

“Eduon!”

“You should go with me too.”

The man called Edoon fell down. Ronan immediately swung La Mancha at the woman. I felt something tick ticking on the blade, as if I was hitting a mana shield.

Judging by the feel, it was a fairly good shield, but unfortunately the opponent was Ronan. Chew! A red line formed where the woman’s thigh was, and fresh blood gushed out.

“Ugh! A sea shield?!”

“Ah, that was shallow.”

Ronan clicked his tongue. I didn’t feel the bones being cut. The woman pulled her body back without moving her legs as if someone had pulled her from behind. she exclaimed sharply.

“Serisma!”

“What is that magic?”

At that moment, Ronan’s body rose into the air. It felt completely different from Asher’s telekinesis. Ronan gritted his teeth at the enormous power that wrapped around his body.

“Mmm!”

“Swallow it as it is!”

cried the woman. Then, the shape of a huge snake slowly appeared. The scenery of the Great Hollow was visible through the body wrapped around Ronan.

‘Was it a spirit…!’

The woman was pouring a potion she had taken out from somewhere onto her wounds. A snake spirit called Serisma stuck out its round head. The huge mouth opened up and down.

-Shaaaa….

“Nimi, is it fashionable for women to raise one snake these days?”

I could feel the crushed ribs pressing against my lungs. Because the whole body was tied up, the angle to wield the sword could not come out. Ronan grabbed La Mancha, which was buried in a coil.

It was the moment when the tongue of the snake was close enough to touch the cheek. Ronan, who pulled out his arm with all his strength, stabbed the snake’s eye with La Mancha. hooked! The translucent tip of the sword dug deep into the Serpent Spirit’s eyes.

-Shaaaaaagh!

The body wrapped around Ronan unraveled as if bouncing. Ronan, who stepped on and jumped over the snake, rushed toward the woman. The woman was muttering something quickly, but La Mancha was already right in front of her.

“Oh no!”

don’t miss this time It was the moment when the crescent moon drawn by La Mancha was about to penetrate the woman’s ankle. A familiar groaning sound came from behind.

“Explosion.”

In an instant, goosebumps ran through his body. Lowering his gaze, Ronan could see a huge magic circle flickering beneath his feet. In an instant, dozens of cases flashed in Ronan’s head.

‘It’s too late to avoid it. You can’t stop it. It is also dangerous to cut.’

It didn’t take long to make a decision. After slashing only the mana shield, Ronan rushed at the woman.

Kwaaaaang!! An explosion engulfed them both. A huge pillar of fire soared from the center of the Great Void, and at the same time, all sides became bright like day.

Coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-goo-goo-goo-goo

, the flashes soon died down. As the smoke clears, three figures are revealed.

Ronan’s judgment was correct. A deep and wide pit had been dug where Ronan had been, but his body was unscathed. Ronan laughed at Edoon’s appearance.

“I thought you were sick.”

“Let her go.”

Edoon glared at Ronan and growled. The threatening pronunciation was fluent. The severed left arm and tongue were reattached.

However, I was a little doubtful whether I should have attached it. Growing up would have been the correct expression. Ronan frowned.

“Damn it, I will think of you every time I eat for three days. Are you human?”

Edoon’s newly grown left arm was not human. Dozens of tentacles wriggling in an intertwined manner barely imitated human hands.

The same was true of the tongue and ankle. The wriggling strands in place of sinews were repulsive.

The tentacles peeking out from between his closed lips gave the impression that he was holding a living cephalopod in his mouth.

The woman was breathing heavily. She looked at Edoon, who had become a monster, and opened her mouth.

“Eduon…”

“Keep quiet, lady. My knife can’t recognize people’s faces.”

La Mancha’s blade was separated from her neck by a piece of paper. Every time she breathed, the white nape of her neck touched the blade, making cuts.

Edoon said.

“I will accept your request. I’ll tell you everything I know So let her go.”

The blood that flowed out drop by drop was being absorbed into La Mancha’s blade. Ronan laughed as if it were absurd.

“You pretend to be sympathetic to the subject of such magic.”

“Because she had a mana shield that could handle my magic. I didn’t know you would use it.”

“Originally, in a tense situation, your head turns quickly.”

Ronan giggled. Just as the Explosion was about to activate, Ronan slashed the mana shield lightly with his sword and attacked the woman.

As expected, the immediately regenerated mana shield blocked the explosion. Out of nowhere, the straight-eyed Ronan chanted.

“By the way…why do you talk like that? Can’t you understand the situation?”

La Mancha drew an arc. Red lines appeared on both ankles of the woman. As the tendons were cut, blood gushed out.

“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”

“Cirilla!”

The woman called Cirilla sat down as if collapsing. The hood was pulled back, revealing a face that had been hidden all along. A pair of elongated ears, distinct from those of a shiny blonde, caught my eye.

Ronan growled as he stepped on Cirilla’s back.

“You weren’t even human. I recognized it from the time I started talking about the smell of sulfur.”

“Cuck!”

Appeared to be an elf or half elf. Due to the nature of the race, the doll-like appearance stood out, but that was not the case. Ronan continued, pointing the point of the knife at Cirilla’s throat.

“Decide. Will you stay silent and follow me like this? Or will you have all your limbs cut off and be dragged away like a caterpillar? Don’t ask me twice.”

“shit…!”

Edoon clenched his fists. aww The sound of teeth breaking came from his mouth. Eduon, who was trembling, finally lowered his head.

“…I will follow.”

“good idea. If you cut it carelessly and you guys die, that will be difficult too. Then come on…”

Ronan suddenly cut off his words. I felt an indescribable sense of discomfort. Edoon’s eyebrows curled slightly.

‘Am I laughing?’

Suddenly the wind blew from the right. Sensing an eerie premonition, Ronan turned his head. A huge fist covered in golden crystals was approaching right in front of me.

“Patience…!”

Ronan laid La Mancha on his side and took a defensive stance. Kwaaang! The giant’s blow exploded and dust exploded.

The crystal giant who blew away Ronan picked up the fallen Cirilla with the other hand.

“Ahhhhh…”

The giant placed her on his shoulder. Cirilla, who pressed the hood down again, opened her mouth.

“Heh…Heeuk…Thank you for taking the time, Edouon.”

“How did you notice? Apparently, I used a cognitive impairment and a silent spell.”

“I’m a warrior who relies on intuition like that Jaifa… What a monster…!”

Cirilla let out a heavy breath. What she had been casting even before the explosion was a spell to control the crystal giant.

The blood still flowed from his ankles. Unlike Eduon, her body did not recover on its own. Edoon said as if he was amazed.

“Well, I was really dangerous. He had no hesitation in cutting the crazy bastard.”

“Now… I’m so glad they killed me now…”

I never imagined that my life would be threatened by a little boy who suddenly appeared. Edoon shook his head.

“As you said, if I had met someone who had grown a little more… I would have been beaten.”

However, in the end, combat experience made the difference between winning and losing. I couldn’t have imagined using a technique similar to Explosion again. Eduon looked up at the crystal giant and blew a whistle.

“Anyway, that’s great. He’s the size of a king. Didn’t you just want to use this giant in the first place?”

“It’s already a shell…you know it only lasts a few minutes.”

“It was true.”

After rummaging through her arms, she took out a sealed scroll and held it up.

“First… I’ll go back. Please take care of the aftermath.”

“okay. As soon as you go to the church, treat yourself first.”

Cirilla undid the string that bound the scroll. A geometric magic circle was wriggling over the black paper. A dark blue glow was created behind her.

Edoon moved to confirm Ronan’s death. A thick cloud of dust was blocking the view. Cirilla’s control was released, and the crystal giant still had his right arm stuck in the ground.

It must have turned into hard-to-find porridge. Edoon clicked his tongue and muttered.

“What a waste…”

-Pat!

At that moment, a circular void formed in the dust and a shadow jumped out.

“ah?”

Edoon’s eyes met Ronan’s for an instant, and he opened his mouth. A slash at an imperceptible speed cut through his limbs.

Chow! All four limbs were simultaneously separated from the body. Edoon’s consciousness was cut off by the pain beyond his limits. Seeing the scene, Cirilla screamed.

“How!”

“Did you say you were going to catch me?”

Ronan’s face was beyond words. The blood and dust covered his entire body. Blood dripped from his forehead and pooled at the tip of his chin.

“wait.”

After aiming at Cirilla once with the tip of his sword, Ronan started to run. Each time he slammed the crystal giant’s arm, the gap closed at a terrifying rate.

“Oh, no!”

It was the moment when Cirilla hurriedly threw herself into the portal. Ronan threw the La Mancha he was holding. The sword flew in a straight line and landed on Cirilla’s knee.

“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”

La Mancha pierced the knee and got stuck in the giant’s body. Cirilla struggled desperately and severed her leg. Seeing the scene, Ronan spat on the floor.

“shit. A terrible year.”

“I can’t do this… This is nonsense…!”

After crawling along, Cirilla finally reached the portal. She looked back at Ronan with a tear-stained face and muttered.

“Never… I will never forget today. Wherever you are, I will find you and kill you.”

“Stop!”

Cirilla’s arm slowly disappeared into the portal. It was a narrowly impossible distance to catch up.

There was nothing more to throw. Obsession. anger. despair. Three emotions were storming through Ronan’s head.

Just as Cirilla’s head was about to enter the portal, the world turned black.

Ronan’s and Cirilla’s bodies stopped at the same time.

“uh…?”

Cirilla couldn’t understand the current situation. A portal whose duration was running out was flickering in front of my eyes. I had to jump right in, but my body didn’t move as if it were a stone.

Whoops…!

After a few seconds, the portal disappeared. Even so, Cirilla couldn’t even let out a scream of despair. A familiar voice came from behind Ronan.

“Are you okay? Ronan.”

“Really… fantastic timing.”

familiar voice. familiar paralysis. Even experiencing it again, it felt like shit.

Still, it was better than the first time. Ronan shook his head and smiled.

A snake so gigantic that Serisma, the snake spirit, was glaring at Cirilla. The previous swordsman’s aura was full.

The voice of Nabi Rosé flowed from the slightly open mouth of Mansa.

“I heard the approximate circumstances. You did a great job.”

“Wow…Does the instructor know how to praise you?”

“I do it when I do it. By the way… you’ve got scars on your body, Ronan.”

Seeing Ronan in a state of disrepair, Nabi Roze muttered lowly. At the same time, the scales of all things rose like waves.

“For a body that has to take my classes.”

“Ah…aaaa…”

Cirilla’s face turned pale. In a world where all five senses are paralyzed, she is watching a huge snake approaching her. Finally, Butterfly Rose, who arrived in front of Cirilla, grabbed her by the hair and said.

“Did you touch my pupil?”

The snake’s jaws closed. Cirilla’s consciousness was cut off. Nabi Rose, who had finally completed everything, embraced her.

Ronan sat down on the ground as soon as he came down from the giant’s body. The accumulated fatigue was belatedly coming.

“Oh… that’s hard.”

Ronan raised his head. The light created by the luminous moss was embroidering all around like a cluster of stars. The screams echoing from the ground were no longer heard.

“Mr. Butterfly Rose!”

Before long, soldiers with torches followed. Butterfly Roze threw Cirilla next to Eduon, who had become a crow, and gave an order.

“Seize these two.”
