Academy’s Genius Swordmaster - Chapter 79

[ 79. The big move (3) ]

#79

“Come on Jaipa…!”

“what?”

The giant wyvern’s body split in half. The blood that burst out like an explosion drenched the sky. Wear Tiger immediately turned around and began to fall while wrapping around both Ronan and the woman’s neck at the same time.

“Gagging!”

There was no bird to resist. The only thing he could do was to bite his tongue to stay conscious. It felt like a steel python was choking me.

“Damn…Damn…Let it go!”

The fall was much faster than the ascent. Ronan, who caught La Mancha in reverse, tried to stab the prisoner’s neck. The whip-like tail wrapped around Ronan’s wrist.

“what…!”

Ronan, who was stopped, spat out a curse. At that moment, a shock that seemed to turn the world upside down hit her whole body. A roar rang out. In the flickering consciousness, someone’s voice was heard.

“A warrior. Didn’t you faint?”

It was a voice as deep and resonant as a mountain range. Ronan vigorously twisted his shoulders. The loose bonds were released and the body regained its freedom.

“Damn it!”

Ronan quickly pulled away and pointed his sword in the direction the voice came from. The surrounding landscape had changed from the sky to the forest. The fragmented vision merged into one, and the appearance of the wear tiger we saw earlier appeared. Ronan’s mouth fell open.

“…Zaifa.”

I could tell without explaining. The Imperial First Sword was in front of me. The appearance of the black tiger standing on two legs seemed to embody the concept of power itself.

The kind that seems like it will explode and sweep away everything around you if you touch it even slightly. The two burning amber eyes retained their primeval wildness.

A woman in a robe was tucked limply at his side. It wasn’t dead, judging by how slowly the back swelled up and went off. said Ronan.

“That bitch has a prior agreement with me.”

Zaifa did not answer. Shoot ah- red, hot liquid started pouring over my head. It was a heavy rain made of wyvern blood.

After that, pieces of meat fell down. Even while the blood was soaking their whole bodies, the two stared at each other without moving. Zaifa, who finally put the woman down, opened his mouth.

“You are not.”

“what?”

“Say hello. Raise your sword.”

In an instant, Zaifa’s figure disappeared. Instinct, not reason, moved Ronan’s body. Holding the hilt with both hands, he spun and swung his sword. As soon as the disappeared Zaifa appeared in front of me, two blades collided. Wow! A plosive sound reminiscent of lightning shook the forest.

“Kuuk!”

Ronan’s body bounced off. It felt like his shoulder blades were sticking out of his flesh. Ronan, who had balanced himself by spinning the lot, corrected his posture. He couldn’t believe he was standing up on his own two feet. The terrifying shock was still running through his body.

‘What power…!’

instinctively realized. It was an opponent that could never be defeated. I was prepared for death, but contrary to my expectations, the second attack did not come. Zaifa, who raised her sword, shrugged her eyebrows.

“It is a familiar technique. Will you become the disciple of that snake?”

“What are you going to do now?”

“It is a simple greeting. A sum of words is more suitable for understanding each other than a hundred words.”

Zaifa swung the sword and wiped the blood off the blade. He strode toward Ronan, who was still on guard. Then he held out his hand covered in black fur and said.

“This is Jaipa Turgun.”

Ronan gritted it. Aside from his crazy-looking behavior, he didn’t see any gaps. Ronan glared at Zaifa for a long time.

“……”

Even in the midst of awkward silence, he did not lift his hand. The bloody rain has stopped. Eventually, Ronan let go of the hilt and responded with a handshake.

“…Ronan.”

“It’s nice to be clear. It’s a name fitting for a warrior.”

Jaifa smiled lightly. It seemed that he had no intention of killing himself or tearing himself up and putting them in a sandwich. Finally, Ronan let out a sigh of relief and opened his mouth.

“Okay, give that woman up. You must have seen that I caught almost all of them.”

“refuse.”

“Damn it, if you’re a swordsman, can you steal other people’s prey? If you came from the North, you would know how cowardly that is.”

“Do you know about an organization called Nebula Clazier?”

Ronan’s eyes widened at the unexpected answer. It wasn’t strange, as news spread all over the empire after he put Eduon and Cirilla in Rodolan. Ronan nodded slowly.

“…Know.”

“Then it would be quicker to explain. It’s my job to catch those idiots.”

“A mission?”

“okay. It’s a new task from the emperor.”

Zaifa was slamming the floor with her tail as if it was annoying. Suddenly, what Nabi Rose said flashed through my mind. It was said that an organization to deal with the church was about to be established. I can’t believe Zaifa was involved. Suddenly, a question raised its head.

“How did you know that woman was Nebula Klage?”

It was an important issue. As far as he knew, interrogation using taboos did not work anymore. It was the moment Zaifa was about to say something. A loud cry echoed from the other side of the forest.

“Captain-!!!”

Ronan unknowingly shrugged his shoulders. It was a size that could not be produced by human vocal cords. As I turned my head, I saw shadows leaping up and down the forest as they approached. It didn’t take long to realize that they were all beastmen like Zaifa.

Before long, one of them landed in front of Ronan. It was a Wear Lion woman whose entire body was covered with golden hair. He didn’t have a mane, but his majesty was never inferior to that of Professor Baren. She looked back and forth at Ronan and the woman before opening her mouth.

“I saw it from afar. Looks like these two.”

“Only women. Not a boy.”

“yes? Then why are you here…are you civilians?”

“Don’t worry, I will take care of it. How are the follow-ups going?”

“Ah, it has been confirmed that the rampage of monsters is over. All potential threats have been removed, and seven people, including Sergeant Tutu, are on standby on each road.”

“Good work.”

The lioness saluted. Soon after, the other prisoners landed one by one. Wear Tiger, Wear Lion, Wear Bear…All of the beasts based on large beasts were wearing imperial military uniforms.

Ronan’s appearance, surrounded by giant hairy hairs, was like a poisonous mushroom that had grown unknowingly in the crevices of giant trees. The beastmen who noticed Ronan’s existence murmured.

“Adjutant. What is this little boy?”

“Hahaha, didn’t someone bring a packed lunch?”

“He is small, but his eyes are fierce. It’s an eagle’s eye.”

Ronan looked at them without speaking. Power went into the hand holding the hilt. It wasn’t something I dared to compare to Zaifa, but I could tell at a glance that all of them were quite strong. In particular, the spirit of the lioness, who was called the adjutant, was unusual. Suddenly, Zaifa clicked his tongue in a pitiful way.

“Don’t laugh, you big idiots. The boy stood on his own two legs even after being greeted by me.”

“…yes? Are you kidding me?”

“If in doubt, put your swords together.”

The prisoners’ faces hardened. They looked at Ronan with the eyes of a dragon breaking an egg.

“Isn’t this the first time besides the adjutant?”

“Nonsense. you are human It is still young.”

“The former Sword Saint was also human. Of course, I believe it is a polymorphed dragon.”

“…I want to stick together.”

There was a buzz that was quite different from the one before. However, no one expressed pure admiration. A low growl was coming from everywhere.

Ronan smiled when he saw the prisoners who were blatantly showing a sense of benevolence. That’s why they are beasts. While I was contemplating whether I should catch one and exercise my skills, I heard a familiar voice from somewhere.

“Hey! Please save me! Don’t eat it!”

“It’s okay kid. Calm down, it’s okay.”

“what?”

The atmosphere was relieved by the sudden commotion. Ronan turned his head. A boy with bright red hair struggled while being grabbed by a huge wear bear. A deep wrinkle formed between Ronan’s forehead.

“Assel?”

“Ro Ronan? You were alive!”

Asher’s expression brightened for a moment. But when the other prisoners stuck their heads in to watch, she started to let out girlish screams again. The Wear Bear, who was scratching his head as if embarrassed, held out Asher to Zaifa.

“I am back now. It looks like a civilian, but I brought it just in case. Could you please take a look?”

“no. release me.”

Zaifa looked over at Asher and said firmly. Wearbear put him down gently. Asher staggered as if he was drunk and ran to Ronan. Tears flowed incessantly from the large eyes.

“Yes, I was looking for you because you didn’t come down, but all of a sudden…!”

Asher said he was captured while wandering around looking for Ronan. He said he couldn’t escape even though he hurriedly threw himself into the air. Recalling the conversation that had suddenly been cut off, Ronan called Jaifa.

“Okay, I have to say what I said earlier. How are you going to identify that bitch and this kid and Nebula Clazier?”

“It’s a gut feeling.”

“what?”

“How to identify nebula clazier. There is a disgusting green smell coming from those who are steeped in nonsense.”

There was no explanatory note. Ronan, who pondered over the meaning of the words, laughed. It’s intuition. I wondered if I should call this a method.

“Then, if it seems to be the culprit, then it’s like arresting it?”

“In the first place.”

“It doesn’t sound like saying you’re just killing people you don’t like.”

“None of the guys I killed or captured were innocent.”

His voice was confident. Ronan didn’t ask anymore. After the explanation, Zaifa spoke to the adjutant.

“Did you understand the purpose?”

“yes. It is not clear at this time, but it is highly likely that the rampage of monsters nearby was a simple trick. Judging from the intelligence that observed the disintegration of a group of wyverns heading for the Romira Mountains, it seems that the purpose was probably there.”

“Right. Then go to Romaira. Tell them to lift the blockade in the current area…”

“Hmm? Why?”

Suddenly Zaifa dragged his horse by the tail. There was no answer to the adjutant’s question. Ronan and Jaifa turned their heads at the same time. All their gazes were directed toward the northern sky. Asher asked in an anxious voice.

“Why why?”

“Ah fuck.”

Suddenly, Ronan looked back at the woman lying face down. The white robe was soaked in blood and stained red. Ronan walked away, grabbing the woman’s hair and lifting it up roughly. Creepy laughter rang out.

“Lee ha ha… a ha ha ha…!”

“shit. You don’t have to do things right.”

Ronan let out a deep sigh. Her disfigured face was contorted with madness. The eyes of the people around them widened. Only then did the prisoners notice the change, and their eyes turned to the north.

“That’s…!”

Something black was shaking in the northern sky. It was immediately apparent that it was not a migratory bird. The sound of huge wings tearing through the air resounded. There were well over a hundred wyverns with dull colors.

“Ahaha! That’s right, Zaifa. You should have done it right!”

The woman burst into madness again. The Wyverns were flying in the direction of the Romaira Mountains. Realizing their goal, Ronan twitched his lips. It was the incapacitation of the Romaira Mountain Road, a crime the Winter Witch would commit in the not-too-distant future.

“This damn bitch.”

“I lost my most useful child, but it doesn’t matter. Stop it once!”

puck! Ronan struck the woman on the back of the neck with the hilt. The Wyverns did not stop even though their unconscious bodies were drooping.

‘Usually, when the caster is incapacitated, the spell is broken… Do I have to kill him at all?’

While thinking about it, Zaifa’s foot landed on the woman’s head. Quick! A red flower bloomed with a sound like an insect popping. Zaifa glanced at the northern sky and said calmly.

“hmm. It doesn’t stop even if you kill it.”

“…There must be more magicians. Probably among those wyverns.”

“That’s right. It’s a reasonable inference.”

“What are you going to do now?”

Ronan asked while wiping the brain water from his face. Despite the national crisis, there was no tension in the faces of Zaifa and the prisoners. After being silent for a while, he sighed lightly, “Can I do anything. I have to kill them all.

” ” ”

It’s a pity that the clothes are dirty, but I have to throw them away.

”

“Yes. Evacuate the civilians in case you use the aura.”

“Okay, everyone to the location!”

After receiving the order, the prisoners dispersed in perfect order. Zaypa, who held the sword in one turn, crouched down. His hind legs swelled up to twice the size and prepared to launch himself. Zaifa suddenly felt that his tail had become heavy. turned his head,

“What are you doing?”

“Shut up and let’s go.”

Ronan’s right hand was gripping Zaifa’s tail tightly, and his left side held the white Asher tightly. Asher flopped like a fish on a cutting board, denying the impending future. “Ronan? Now

? “What are you trying to do? It’s not what I think it is, is it?”

Ronan didn’t answer. Jaifa laughed and looked straight ahead. It was the moment when Asher, who had reached his limit, screamed. ”

Faaaang! Zaifa’s body stretched out like a spring. The sky swallowed them up.”
