Academy’s Genius Swordmaster

[Abduction 17. Ronan]

#A17

“…My father ever died?”

【okay. These horrible scars are proof of that. After being cut into pieces with a knife, he fell off a cliff.]

Upon hearing Lance’s question, Darman rolled up his sleeves. The inside of the body was revealed in a much more terrible state than the part exposed on the outside. Sechika covered her mouth and retched.

“Oops.”

【The whole body is like this. No matter how much I use the dragon, the traces of this junction don’t disappear.]

Darman groaned. Lance was concentrating as much as possible, waiting for a gap to open. Darman, who was silent for a moment, opened his mouth.

【But… Judging by her expression, she doesn’t seem to know me. Didn’t your father tell you about me? Regarding the bloody battle that took place at the sword festival.]

“I don’t know. Someone like you.”

【This is sad. I thought I had a great match.]

“Aren’t you the only one who thought that? I hear a lot about other people.”

Lance raised one corner of his mouth. It was an intentional provocation. Of course, it was also true that there was no story of Darman among Ronan’s youthful saga that Adeshan had told him.

【Right. That’s right…]

Darman’s face hardened. It was as if I had stabbed a sore spot. Lance, who caught the momentary gap, pulled the hilt of the sword.

‘Now!’

The swordsmanship that made him enter Phileon at the top was fired. To be honest, I was still embarrassed, but I knew two things. That the man in front of you is the culprit of the kidnapping case. And that’s very dangerous.

It was the moment when the arcing blade was about to touch Darman’s neck. Kagak! The sword stopped with a strong recoil.

“what…!”

[Could this be the best?] Darman

opened his mouth with a serious expression. The blade was clamped between his index fingers. Lance tried his best, but he couldn’t budge, as if he had been stuck between black rocks. Darman, who alternately looked at Lance and the sword, smiled.

【It’s absurdly slow. Even considering his age, he’s trash compared to his father. The slash from the back alley was at least scratched

.

【That’s right.】

Suddenly Darman removed his finger holding the blade. Lance, who really didn’t know how to let go, lost his balance and stumbled. At the same time, Darman dug in and landed a knee kick into his stomach. Kwajik! With the sound of bones breaking, blood flowed from Lance’s mouth.

“Gagging!”

【Be quiet now. It’ll be over in a little while.]

“La Lance!”

Lance fell forward. Secika almost reflexively chanted an incantation. A dozen spears made of wind were about to be shot at Darman. Shirik! His form, blurred for an instant, appeared from behind Secika.

【Don’t interfere. On the subject of ordering.]

“Ahh!”

Darman grabbed Sechika’s hair as it was. As soon as the magic was canceled, she screamed in pain. Rance stood up with his sword as a support and gritted his teeth.

“Ugh… Sechika…”

【The Archmage’s daughter isn’t special either. Apparently, your father stopped the falling island. After all, does blood get cloudy every time it passes?]

“Don’t touch her…don’t touch her. Heck, I’m your target anyway!”

【It’s not like that. This woman also has a business. To Mage Asher’s eldest son.]

Darman raised his head with those words. The crimson eyes, vaguely resembling Ronan, were looking at the coiled snake.

Koo Goo Goo…! Suddenly, the snake started to move with a vibration like an earthshaft. The hair rising from the darkness reminded me of a mountain rising up in front of my eyes. Finally, the snake that looked this way opened its mouth.

【Ah…Sell?】

【That’s right. Master of the Pandemonium. I’ve captured your enemy’s daughter.]

[Yeah…I see a resemblance. Especially that hair color…the guy who stole everything from me…]

The one remaining pupil was shining brightly. Lance and Secika shrugged their shoulders at the eerie voice that made the hairs on their bodies stand on end. Only then did the two find out who was responsible for the wounds that covered the snake’s body.

“Ah, the snake that Dad caught in the New World can’t be…!”

Secika’s eyes widened. Marja had said it once. It is said that Asher caught a huge snake in the New World around the time she was pregnant. It was covered in ice and thrown into the deep sea.

Judging from the various circumstances, the snake was evident. Remembering Asher waving his hand, saying it was nothing, Sethka laughed.

what do you say dad? isn’t that a big deal?

It was clear that the seal had been released by Darman. It was because of Dad’s seal that even the dragon couldn’t unlock it on its own. The snake that had been glaring at her suddenly opened its mouth and rushed at her.

【I’ll swallow you all at once! Kwaaaak!]

“Heo-eok!”

Secika’s eyes widened. It was a lightning-like movement that was out of proportion to its size. It was a car that she intuited death and took a deep breath. The snake stopped as Darman stepped forward to block her.

【Different. What are you doing?]

【The preparations will be over soon, so why don’t you be patient. Our goal is complete resurrection, not trivial revenge.]

【Hmph…If you don’t hurry, I’ll eat you too.】

【Thank you. Hurry up and let’s have a toast with the blood of these kids.]

Darman lightly ignored it. The snake that had been glaring at Sechka turned its head disapprovingly. Taking a deep breath, she opened her mouth.

“…You guys are trying to resurrect. By absorbing the mana of these people. And I intend to get revenge on my parents.”

【okay. That is the correct answer.]

“But why did you kidnap people only on the outskirts of the island? If it had been done elsewhere, it might not have been discovered at all.”

It was incomprehensible to her with her rational mindset. Is it necessary to take risks by using the system as a hunting ground? Darman shrugged his eyebrows in surprise.

【Your hair is useful. I’m going to die anyway, so don’t tell me in particular. The place where we gathered the sacrifices is not the outskirts of the system, but the place where the war took place.]

“War?”

【okay. Between the hateful allied forces and the church… Now, time has passed and the village has been restored, but the overflowing mana at the time remained intact and accumulated in the bodies of the residents. Do you understand?]

“Then, kidnapping mainly children…!”

Sechika, who understood the meaning, was frightened. In order to obtain high-purity mana, they sought prey in a place that was a battlefield in the past. The corner of Darman’s mouth went up.

【The quality of mana was more important than the amount.】

“These demons. How could you do that?!”

【Anyway, when we are resurrected, everything will be over. And kid, if you’re going to act, you should have done better.]

Darman suddenly turned his head. Lance met his eyes and gritted his teeth. He was approaching, clearing his sights, to deliver a blow while Sechika ordered him to speak.

“this.”

“I got caught!”

Sethka was frightened. At the same time, Lance’s model disappeared from sight. Darman’s eyebrows twitched.

【What…!】

It was twice as fast as the previous sword attack. He hurriedly took a defensive stance, but Lance’s sword was already cutting through his body. Chow! A long, red line was drawn across Darman’s chest.

“…shit.”

Covered in blood, Lance chewed his lower lip. The blade went in too shallow. Furious Darman drew his sword.

【You damn kid!】

“Ah.”

It was a great move befitting the position of former head of Lycopos. Lance’s time slowed down. The slash that flew at a bizarre angle once had a record of defeating even Zaifa.

‘It’s over.’

I could see the sword, but I couldn’t respond. Secika’s screams lingered in my ears. Everything he loved was flowing before his eyes like a river.

A loving mother and a lovely sister. The friends I laughed with and chatted with and the father I still respect. The regret that only those who are nearing death can feel shimmered in their hearts.

‘Why couldn’t I be honest?’

I should have been more honest and loving. Especially if I knew it would end like this.

But it was already too late.

Finally resigned, Lance closed his eyes. Suddenly, a white light burst from the pocket of his coat. 【

Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

!

Darman paused at the strong light that lit up the entire subspace. The blind blade was about to split Lance’s head. Kachang! With a ferocious metallic sound, Darman’s sword shattered.

[What!]

Darman, who opened his eyes belatedly, raised his eyebrows. To put it bluntly, a white bird resembling a hawk was flapping its wings in front of him.

“Williet!”

【bird? Wait, this is…]

Suddenly Darman’s face distorted. A shield of bizarre colors spread around the bird. The hemispherical curtain that completely covered Lance and Secika was something he had seen before.

[Blessing of the Rice Star?!]

Darman was shocked. It was undoubtedly the blessing of the stars. The power that had been lost since the death of both the giant and the religious leader was unfolding right in front of their eyes. Lance’s eyes widened.

“you…!”

I no longer felt the orb in my pocket. It seemed clear that it had broken out. Lance, who lifted Secika from the fall, stammered.

“W Are you from here?”

“Whirrit!”

the bird replied. It was as if he could understand what people were saying. Darman, who had been dumbfounded for a while, was about to take action again.

Chow ah-!

A roar reverberated overhead, like a million sheets of paper being ripped at the same time. A dim light poured into the darkened space.

【What is this…!】

Darman, who came to his senses belatedly, raised his head. And it just hardened. A sky full of stars stretched out above the open ceiling like a pocket.

“W It’s open! Ronan!”

In the center, two men with different hair colors were floating. Asher’s voice mixed with crying echoed. After discovering Lance and Secika, Ronan opened his mouth.

“found.”

“Oh Dad?!”

Lance was frightened. I was so shocked that I forgot to even call him father. bang! Ronan, who landed in front of the two, opened his mouth.

“Is everyone okay? Aren’t you hurt?”

“Uncle Ronan. How is this place…”

“There was a drop of blood where you guys disappeared. I followed it.”

Ronan glanced at the ceiling. A familiar grotesque bird was flapping its wings beside the relieved Asher. Sheeta spread her four wings and roared.

“Ppa!”

“Lance, what did you do? Good job.”

Ronan grinned and tousled his son’s hair roughly. If it weren’t for Darman’s bloodstains, the pursuit would have been very difficult. He was in the middle of checking the condition of the two people.

“wait for a sec. You…”

“Why is that?”

“Are you hurt? Look where you are.”

Ronan’s eyes narrowed. His keen gaze was fixed on the blood stains on Lance’s mouth. Upon closer examination of the body, a couple of ribs were missing.

After a moment of silence, he looked back at Darman.

“…hey. rags.”

【Finally, you see this. But rags aren’t too much…]

Darman, who was smirking, froze. Eyes glowing with the color of the sunset were glaring at him.

[…!]

Even though our eyes only met, I couldn’t move my body. Ronan, who fixed the hilt, continued.

“Are you like this?”

【Hehehe…Who else is there? Anyway, the atmosphere has changed a lot, Ronan. I don’t know.]

He seemed like a completely different person from when I saw him in Parzan in the past. The burden of living was heavy on my shoulders. Having barely regained his composure, he opened his mouth.

【But I also became stronger. I gathered and absorbed the discarded relics of the Order to grow my strength. It won’t be easy to defeat us allied with King Baengnyeon here…]

He looked away and was about to wink at the snake. thud! Suddenly, a lump the size of a house landed next to Darman. It was the head of a huge white snake.

[Huh…!]

Darman sighed. The head of the leader who once led the pandemonium was making a dumbfounded expression as if he had not even recognized his own death. Fuhuaaaagh! The headless torso spewed blood and collapsed.

“oh my god.”

“A pear snake…!”

Lance and Secika were shocked. The beheading of the snake took place at the same time Ronan entered the subspace, but no one saw the scene. Darman’s legs gave out strength.

【This… this is ridiculous!】

Something is wrong. It was the car that Darman, who felt the danger of death, was trying to run away from. As Ronan grabbed the hilt, the color of the sunset rose on the blade.

Whoa! At the same time, a scarlet flash covered the collapsing subspace. When Darman closed and opened his eyes once, he was standing right in front of Ronan’s nose.

“By the way…”

It was before Darman let out a scream of despair. As Ronan’s arm disappeared, hundreds of red lines were drawn across his body. Ronan tilted his sword as he turned his sword around.

“You’ve been babbling about since before. Who are you?”

【It can’t be…】

Despair filled Darman’s face. Ronan had forgotten his very existence. Pooh-! Without a moment to say anything, the body that had become flesh was scattered in all directions.

“father.”

Lance muttered as if possessed. I knew my father was strong, but I didn’t know he was this strong. Wow! Ronan, who spat on the blood, looked up and said.

“He pretends to know everything about beggars… Please take care of the sword saint over there.”

“I will.”

Then another voice was heard. Then, a tall man landed in front of Lance. A chiseled look with dark blue hair. Seeing the familiar face, Lance’s mouth opened again.

“Uncle…?!”

“Long time no see. Lance.”

Schlieffen nodded. Officially the Duke of Grancia, he was Lanse’s favorite relative. Schlieffen, who was looking at Lance and Secika in turns, smiled lightly.

“You’ve become brave because you didn’t see it. Protecting your woman while injured.”

“Yes yes?! It’s not like that! Secika is just a friend!”

“What are you saying, you bastard? Oh no… that’s right! Who dated something like this?!”

The two screamed at the same time. Lance and Secika immediately met eyes and blushed at the same time. Schlieffen turned around with a smile on his face and raised his sword.

“anyway. Good job.”

Wow! A whirlwind rose from the ground and began to grind Darman’s and snake’s corpses to pieces without leaving a trace. As they admired, once again a different yet familiar voice rang out.

“Sechka! our daughter!”

“What mom?”

Secika’s eyes widened. Marja, who should have been at the top, came running with her golden hair fluttering like a mane. She closed the distance in an instant and hugged Sechika and Lance.

“Like this poor colt. You are banned from going out for a month!”

“Kek! I can’t breathe…!”

“Ugh. Why am I…”

Tears were pouring out of Marja’s eyes. The two of them struggled with their faces pressed against their chests. Ronan laughed at the sight that somehow reminded him of the old days.

“Good experience, son. i envy you.”

“It’s noisy…!”

It was not long before they were freed from the shackles of the violent chest. At that time, the white bird from before landed on Lance’s shoulder, who was wandering around due to lack of oxygen. Ronan shrugged his eyebrows.

“ok? What is he?”

“ah…! I was born from the sphere my father gave me. What the hell did you give me…?

“What is it that woke you up?”

Ronan’s eyes widened. If my memory wasn’t wrong, what he gave me was Abel’s egg. It had been giving up because there had been no change for over ten years, but it seemed to have hatched now.

The whole body was as white as snow, and the eyes of the bird were vermilion like Lance’s. I felt like I could tell without seeing whose dream I was born from. Ronan, who was still staring at the bird, nodded.

“Have a good life. men and horses.”

“Puyik.”

The white bird cried in response. I didn’t know if I understood the words. The bird immediately flew up and started playing with Sheeta.

Faaaaa…! Soon, the darkness that had been slowly clearing disappeared. Finally, beyond the vanished subspace, the sky with the moon and the soldiers called by Schlieffen were revealed.

“This one!”

“…God, His Majesty the Emperor.”

The people lying in a row and the whirlwind soaring up to the sky shocked them. Ronan let out a sigh of relief. The main culprits have been cleaned up, so I’ll take care of the aftermath. He placed a hand on Lance’s shoulder, which was hesitant.

“Then shall we go too?”

****

The subspace where Lance was kidnapped was spread out in the countryside on the outskirts of the island. By the time the carriage arrived in front of the house, the day was already dawning.

The sunlight shining through the cracks in the buildings illuminated the rich man’s face. Lance, who was hesitant, opened his mouth.

“Mom… did you cry a lot?”

He still couldn’t believe what he had been through. On the one hand, he felt how unfilial he had committed.

Swept away by the emotions of the moment, Ronan and Asher, as well as the best powers of the empire, made them clean up the dung. Ronan nodded without hesitation.

“That’s natural. How hard I tried to stop him from coming after me while crying and blowing. do you know Your mom is usually kind, but when she gets angry, it’s really scary.”

“Yeah… uh, of course.”

“Thank you, sister. If Erin wasn’t at home, she would have followed her unconditionally. And he would have beaten your cheeks until they were rags. In front of Sechika too.”

“yes. I’m sorry…”

Lance bowed her head. Even with a thousand mouths, there was nothing to say. He was trudging along like a sheep being led to the slaughterhouse. Ronan, who was scratching his head, opened his mouth.

“I’m sorry about that.”

“…yes?”

“It’s the entrance ceremony. I wanted to go too, but I just couldn’t find the time. The disappearance case was just beginning. I really didn’t go there on purpose.”

Ronan said in a faceless tone. Lance’s eyes widened as he understood the meaning a step later.

“Why did you say that all of a sudden…I’m fine. really.”

“It’s okay, bitch, is it okay? Even if you’re like me, you’ll feel bad. To be honest, I would have thought to myself. If I had a bigger head, I wouldn’t let this son of a bitch Ronan go. Every night you stab a pillow with my name on it with a knife, huh?”

Ronan, who suddenly got into a stance, pretended to stab him into the air. Lance hurriedly waved his hand.

“I didn’t do that!”

“Scared. I’m kidding.”

“Ouch! Ugh!”

Ronan giggled. Lance’s body staggered whenever a rough hand tapped his son’s back. Looking at his body, he will grow taller than me in ten more years. He laughed happily and spat out.

“I am proud of you. son.”

“yes? What are you saying now…”

“I’m proud of you, man. It was a situation where the balls would have shrunk, but you did well. You will definitely be a very good person.”

Having said that, Ronan took the first step. Lance stared at his father’s back, dumbfounded. Are my ears broken now? I’m not one to say things like that.

“…father.”

But apart from the embarrassment, I felt my heart beating fast. Feelings from the past, which were good friends, were resurrected.

Somehow, I felt like I was going to cry. Ronan, who arrived at the front door, added a word.

“Of course not as much as me.”

“Ah, I was impressed at best, but where is that?!”

“If you twist it, would you save the world too? Daddy goes in.”

Lance shouted in a puzzled tone. Ronan giggled and pulled the doorknob.

“Oh really, Dad!”

The tears that were about to come out drained away. Lance, who had been huffing up, strode forward as if trying to argue something. With a smile on your mouth, of course.

The academy’s genius swordsman

is really over.
