Academy’s Genius Swordmaster Chapter 287

< 287. General Offensive (1) >

#287

[Adeshan. It’s dangerous.]

“Ugh…!”

Adeshan clutched his forehead due to a sudden headache. Again the woman’s voice echoed in her head. It was the first time I heard it in a situation that required such concentration.

“So what is more dangerous in the current situation…!”

She said to herself without realizing it. As expected her answer did not come back. By this point she was starting to get a bit annoyed. It was no longer time to receive a warning. Shouts screams and maddening roars were sporadically coming out from all over the battlefield.

“Bring more diluent! “Don’t spread out and aim for one point!”

“You have to blow it away with one blow. Request bombing support to the Magic Tower immediately…”

Quaaaang! The conversation of the soldiers surrounding the fortress was drowned out by the sound of the explosion. The spear of light that flew towards the blind spot hit directly in the center of the formation. Where the smoke subsided pieces of cut up meat appeared.

“Damn it…!”

“All legs! “My legs!”

A painful scream rang out. A defensive spell was immediately activated and covered their heads. bang! bang! The spears of light that fell one after another hit the shield and exploded.

There was no additional damage but there were already dozens of victims from just one surprise attack. The soldier who barely escaped his life pointed to the sky and shouted.

“excuse me! “There are three guys right above you!”

Adeshan looked up. As the soldier said three artificial giants were preparing to take turns throwing spears. Pulling out her crossbow she aimed it at the nearest flying giant and pulled the trigger.

“away.”

Since we were in the rear the distance was far but it didn’t matter. The crossbow stretched out in a straight line and hit the artificial giant between the eyes. Poseok-! The arrow head forged with Ronan’s blood penetrated deep into the giant’s brain and exploded.

【Ugh…!】

The giant with the upper part of his forehead missing fell helplessly. Adeshan immediately reloaded and fired two more shots in succession.

Sigh! Sigh! This time the target hit the forehead and temples. The giants that fell with a small explosion sound hit the shield and were thrown away. The soldiers cheered at the sniping skills that seemed possessed.

“Commander Ji got it! Viva!”

“You are never at a disadvantage! “Push!”

The Allied forces with full morale rushed forward. Adeshan was refining his strategy again. One soldier shouted in an urgent voice.

“Commander Ji!”

“hmm?”

Adeshan’s eyes widened as he quickly turned his head. A man wearing star protection was running towards me holding a dagger.

“You’re the brains. “Die!”

He was a cult assassin who secretly escaped from the fortress. The man who was in charge of the Southeast Branch was murdering Allied officers one or two at a time. Adeshan chewed his lips.

“Tsk…!”

“In the name of the great star!”

It was too late to avoid it. She was in a hurry to try to take control of her mind. Rumble! Her ground swelled and her stone walls rose to stand between her and her assassin. The embarrassed assassin let out a curse.

“What kind of plague is this….”

It was at that moment that he tried to pull his body away. The rock transformed into the shape of a giant hand and grabbed the assassin. Okay! The sounds of crushing and exploding rang out at the same time.

“Gagging!”

Thick blood came out from inside the assassin’s open mouth. It was an instant death without a doubt. bang! bang! As his body which had turned into a dried radish was thrown away dozens of identical rock grips rose up one by one. A voice came from behind the dazed Adeshan.

“Are you okay?”

“Now Professor Jarudin?”

Adeshan sighed. A skinny man was standing there with his hands in his pockets. It was Professor Jaradin from Phileon Academy whom I had seen before. He said in a dry voice.

“Just like he said you are one of the Allied Forces staff. “I think we can go a little further back.”

“…thank you.”

“Nothing to say.”

Ade Shan bowed her head. With his back turned Rodin snapped his fingers. Grumble! The giant rock hands began to move freely blocking the giants’ attacks or hitting the outer walls of the fortress.

“…amazing.”

Adeshan was impressed. The power of the magic was powerful but even when using such large magic in succession there was almost no wastage of mana. I couldn’t appreciate his true value because I was in the lab every day but it really seemed like he was the Top Mage of the Manwol Magic Tower.

Even the star’s seemingly impenetrable protection seemed to be cracking little by little. In the fortress Nebula Clage’s followers were resisting by shooting arrows and magic but they were unable to stop the advance of the Allied Forces.

The general offensive was progressing as vigorously as expected. The Allied forces were pounding on the gates of the nine fortresses with all but the minimum number of troops deployed. It was a gateway that must be passed in order to reach the Pale Castle where Iril and the cult leader were located.

“These ignorant things…!”

“Hold on until the archbishops come!”

The followers of Nebula Clage were waging a desperate war against the allied forces. It was not easy to break through because the artificial giants were in full swing and there were quite a few powerful people at the level of bishops and branch leaders.

However if you ask whether the situation was unfavorable for the Allied Forces it was definitely not. The blade that had been forged for a long time was doing its job well.

There was just one thing that bothered me. Adeshan muttered.

“But…where have all the archbishops gone?”

****

“It’s just ordinary.”

Ronan blurted out. Even though I finished the ritual and cut up a few monsters I didn’t feel any noticeable changes. At most my body felt a little lighter? He looked at his wrists and ankles and continued speaking.

“Are you sure the curse is really gone? “I’m not sure.”

“The ritual was clearly a success. I guess it’s because the curse is still disintegrating. “I expected him to feel a lot of pain but he’s still fine… his ability to adapt is extraordinary.”

“You feel pain? why?”

Ronan tilted his head. The savior who was scratching his head spoke in a somewhat shameless tone.

“I placed a curse that is much more powerful than you think. “Something so terrible and evil that no ordinary human being could even bear the comfort of it.”

“Thank you so much.”

“No matter how big or small there will definitely be pain later. Anyway as long as you’re fine right now that’s fine. Come on listen…gagging!”

Suddenly the savior covered his mouth with his left hand and coughed. It was unusual for the sound to be mixed with water. Ronan embarrassed helped him up.

“What are you okay?”

“Yeah…it’s okay.”

The savior subtly rubbed his left hand on his pants. There was a red stain but the movement was so clever that Ronan didn’t notice.

“Damn I don’t think so. So why did you ask me to come to a place like this?”

Ronan frowned. Anyway he was a man who couldn’t listen to anything. The savior completely ignored Elthea’s advice that he should still rest and came all the way to Dainhar. Sita who was carrying the two people cried out in worry.

“Pyeongwooung….”

“Look he’s worried too. “I’m just going there alone.”

“That’s not possible.”

The savior spoke firmly. A vein appeared on Ronan’s forehead. To be honest there was more than one thing I didn’t understand. Aside from the pain I don’t know what those mentally ill people are doing to my sister right now but I can’t believe I’m passing through this remote area. The savior continued.

“There is something you must see. “It’s now or never.”

“That’s real.”

Ronan clenched his fists. The look in his eyes was too serious for him to run away after telling me not to talk nonsense. He’s not the type of person to play around with his only daughter. Ronan chewing his lower lip sighed.

“Huh…okay.”

“Thank you.”

“Instead if I’m late and something happens to my sister you will die by my hands.”

“Don’t worry about that. The sooner you arrive the sooner you arrive. The sooner you arrive the sooner you arrive. “This guy was pretty good too.”

The savior glanced back at Sita and spoke confidently. Ronan didn’t answer. I don’t know what he’s going to do but right now I have no choice but to believe. Ronan said scratching Sita’s neck.

“Sita. You do some reconnaissance. If anything happens tell me right away.”

“Bwait!”

Sita hearing her command took flight. After walking a few steps the two arrived right in front of Dainhar. Ronan looked around and sighed as if he was tired.

“Nothing has changed here.”

Dainhar whom I saw for the first time in a while boasted his unwaveringly fearsome appearance. The mountain of rock and metal that grew around the ruins looked like a fire blooming in the desert.

The shield activated after driving out Ronan and Schlieffen was still completely surrounding Dainhar. Suddenly a strange experience from three years ago came to mind. They said something about the unidentified person and got kicked out of their own accord.

“What was it?”

He’s been through all sorts of things but this was the strangest. It was the car in which he reminisced about his past. A man’s voice was heard near the rocky mountain of Dainhar.

“Ro Ronan? “Are you really Ronan?”

“ok?”

Ronan shrugged his eyebrows. It was a somehow familiar voice. When he raised his head he saw a dark-haired native youth sticking his head out of a crevice in the rocky mountain. Ronan’s eyes widened.

“Dreaming Thunder?”

“Ronan! It really is Ronan!”

The young man started to come down the rocky mountain making a fuss. Time passed but he definitely remembered. He was the Dreaming Thunder a native boy whom he had met in Dain Har in the past. The savior asked somewhat surprised.

“I can’t believe I have a connection with the natives of this place. “Do you know each other well?”

“yes. “A little while ago.”

Ronan nodded his head. He and Schlieffen saved him from running away after being chased by Teranil and Yuria executives of Nebula Clazier. He even went to the center of the ruins with his older brother Raging Storm. Ronan whose expression became brighter waved his hand.

“It’s been a while! How are you?”

“We all got along well! “There has been no one since the intruder!”

Dreaming Thunder shouted. It was clearly visible that he had grown in size perhaps because three years had passed. He said that both the tribesmen and the ruins were safe.

He also added that Nebula Clazie came to visit several more times but he was never able to break through the newly created defense shield. Ronan heaved a sigh of relief and opened his mouth.

“That’s a good thing. “Now let us in!”

“No!”

“What?”

Ronan’s brow furrowed. He was so adamant that for a moment I thought I heard him wrong. He put his hand to his mouth and shouted loudly.

“Why not!”

“The transparent membrane does not disappear! “If you’re not from our tribe you can’t come in or go out!”

“Nimi. “What do you mean by that?”

“It’s real! “We have to get permission from a woman before we leave!”

The thunder that had been crawling down the rocky mountain finally landed on the sand. He began running towards Ronan flailing his long limbs. What does that mean a woman? It was the moment when Ronan tapped the shield.

[You are an unauthorized user. Entry is prohibited.]

“Oh shit. “I’m surprised.”

Pajik! A woman’s voice echoed in her head along with a tingling sensation. Ronan hastily withdrew his hand. She was the voice I heard when I was kicked out in the past.

“You’re going to come out like this right?”

I felt like I knew what Thunder meant. At that time the ban on guests was still in progress. Slurp…! Ronan tugged at the hilt of his sword. No matter how thick it was it was probably just a shield made of mana.

It was the car where he just raised his arm. The savior holding Ronan’s wrist shook his head.

“Don’t get excited. Because it’s natural. And if you destroy the shield now it will not be able to function properly at a critical moment.”

“It’s obvious?”

“okay. Even in the past Dainhar was a place where only a very small number of people could enter. “Looking at that tattoo fortunately it looks like the name is still alive.”

The savior’s eyes were fixed on the tattoos on Thunder’s body. Come to think of it the natives here regardless of gender or age all have tattoos like that. The savior who was looking at Dainhar with longing eyes placed his hand on the shield.

“It’s been a while since I’ve been here. really.”

Paaaa…! A faint ray of light came out from the area where my palm touched. Something was unusual. Within a few seconds the woman’s voice rang again in the heads of everyone present.

[You are a registered user. The defense system is temporarily disabled.]

“Huh?!”

At the same time the protective shield surrounding the entire Dainhar disappeared. The mana that was staying inside the force field rushed out. The dreaming thunder that was running was startled and hit its butt on the sand. The Savior turned to Ronan and said.

“Let’s go quickly. “Then while saving my daughter you will also save the world.”
