Academy’s Genius Swordsman

< 72. Blood Hook (4) >

#72

“Well…don’t think that anyone will survive.”

The scroll unfolded. A thick mana barrier rose and blocked the entrance to the banquet hall. Ronan grabbed the hilt and ran towards the vampires.

The distance narrowed in an instant. The vampire acting as the vice-leader shouted in a confused voice.

“Damn it, kill me!”

Some vampires who regained their sanity raised their arms and aimed at Ronan. It was to check in with magic. At that time, the vampire who was chanting the spell vomited blood and sat down.

“Blood Arrow… gagging!”

One after another, other vampires also failed to cast and had a seizure. The deputy chief shook the shoulder of the fallen vampire and asked.

“What, why are you all here?!”

“No, mana doesn’t accumulate…!”

The deputy chief’s eyes widened. In fact, the mana of the banquet hall was scattered or flowed back before being materialized into magic. He later realized the existence of the mana-disrupting artifacts he had prepared to face Jarrodin. The deputy chief exclaimed this with a smirk.

“Damn it, anyone go and get those damn things out!”

It was as if he had completely fallen for his own tricks. A few vampires from the back ran into the banquet hall. It was time for him to turn his head again. Whoops! Ronan, who approached while slicing the two of them, inserted La Mancha into the deputy commander’s mouth.

“aah!”

The deputy chief screamed. But instead of backing down, he chewed on the sword as if swallowing it and rushed at Ronan. The tip of the sword that came out through the back of the head was smeared with blood and brain water. Ronan frowned.

“We fight like shit.”

“human!!”

The vice-captain vampire swung his arms. Nails that stood like spears were a weapon in their own right. Ronan, who bowed his head to avoid it, raised his sword diagonally. La Mancha came out of his head, gently slitting his jaw, brain, and skull. The deputy chief spit out a scream.

“You won’t die from such an injury!”

“okay?”

Ronan turned the La Mancha one turn and fixed it. He put fifteen slashes into the face of the vice-captain in different directions. His ragged face was covered with red lines. puck! The moment Ronan kicked him in the chest, dozens of pieces of his head exploded like a flowerpot.

“Goo…!”

The fluttering body was limp. Kwajak! Ronan said while smashing an unknown piece of bone with his heel.

“I think he’s dead.”

The six pieces that made up the head only wriggled and did not recover. It was one of the know-hows I learned in my previous life. If playback is a pain in the ass, you can cut it into pieces that make it impossible to reproduce.

“Boo, deputy chief!”

After being captain, he was promoted to vice-captain. The eyes of the vampires around them widened. Ronan immediately ran towards the female vampire standing nearby. When confusion and fear prevailed, the number had to be reduced as much as possible. spatula. Her arms soared into the air at Ronan’s slash, which flew without delay.

“Kyaah!”

blood splashed Her beautiful face was distorted like a demon. It wasn’t too bad to make a porridge like the vice-leader of the past, but unfortunately, it was too cumbersome.

Ronan pulled a stake out of his waist. Just as she was about to drive a stake into her chest, two handsome vampires stopped in front of Ronan.

“Ambush the Lady, don’t you know even a knight?”

“Then who are you?”

Ronan twisted himself. He shoved the terminal stake in his left hand into the vampire’s chest. Whoops! The moment the stake pierced the heart, the white of the vampire was stained black.

“Heh heh heh…!”

“What kind of chivalrous filthy monster bastard…”

The vampire pierced by a stake fell down. It was an instant death without seeing any more. Suddenly, a faint sound of the wind rang in my ear. Ronan shook his head. Nettle! An ominous slash passed through Ronan’s cheek.

“Did you avoid this?”

Embarrassment stood on the face of the other vampire. A sharp sabre was held in his hand. Although the decoration was needlessly noisy, it seemed like a pretty good sword.

By the way, what kind of sword do mosquitoes use? Ronan, who was somewhat curious, used the one-second formula of the Imperial Swordsmanship. Kang! A vertical slash hit the sabre.

“Wow!”

The vampire’s posture was disturbed at once. Although his physical abilities were excellent, it was clear that he had never normally wielded a sword. Scratch! Ronan, whose tongue seemed to be pitiful, blew off his neck at once. At the same time, a stake was driven into the body that was collapsing.

“Ah, the knife is not worth it.”

“You, what the hell are you…?”

The female vampire mumbled in a terrified voice. She was still regenerating her lower elbow. Ronan waved his arm instead of answering. Whoops! The stakes that flew in a silver straight line pierced her heart. The running vampires stopped in place.

“Give me!”

“No, it’s not a magician’s movement…!”

“Damn it, it can’t be close combat. Is it still far away?”

In less than five minutes, about half of them were in a state of incapacity. It was the first time since Blood Hook was founded. Ronan, who had corrected his posture, pointed the tip of his sword at them.

“You don’t want to come back alive?”

It was the moment when Ronan was about to run again. A shout of joy was heard from behind.

“done! I unlocked it!”

“Damn it, finally!”

Suddenly, the vampires’ faces brightened. Ronan raised an eyebrow.

‘clear? What did you unlock?’

“Kah ha ha! You are done!”

A vampire with a scar on his face exclaimed. Suddenly, Ronan noticed that the mana, which had been scattered around, began to flow normally again. Seeing the mana gathering in their hands, Ronan twisted his lips.

“Aha.”

“Blood Spear.”

A spear made of blood flew towards Ronan. Ronan rolled over to avoid the attack. Before he could stand up, an arrow of blood flew past Ronan’s shoulder.

“Ummm…!”

Apparently, he had dealt with a piece that disturbed mana. The ball was reversed. The vampires wielded, threw, and exploded weapons made of blood, driving Ronan back.

The scary thing about blood magic was that attacks could be derived from the spot where blood was stained. In some ways, it was similar to Schlieffen’s storm sword.

When the stray blood made a puddle on the floor, the attack continued with thorns and arrows gushing out from there again. The excited vampires went crazy.

“Ahahaha! Running away is just like a mouse!”

“Do you think you won?”

But being able to use magic didn’t mean there were only good points. Ronan grinned. The vampire who was shooting arrows of blood frowned.

“what?”

“We also have children who use magic.”

That was then. All the projectiles of blood magic that were flying towards Ronan stopped in the air. It seemed as if time had stopped. The vampires’ faces hardened.

“What, what?”

“Why is this?”

Shoo! Suddenly, the shape of the projectiles was crushed and transformed into a droplet. And he began to be sucked into a corner of the banquet hall.

The vampires turned their heads at the same time. A strange creature I had never seen in my life was hanging from a torch holder and curled up with its four wings.

“Bye.”

Blood was being absorbed into Sita’s body. It was the car they were trying to shout. Tadadadang! Sita’s crouched wings unfolded and hundreds of spheres of blood were shot at the vampires.

“Aww!”

A sphere that flew at high speed pierced their body. Broken bones and flesh soared into the air. It wasn’t fatal, but he couldn’t move. Bleeding from bullets was absorbed by Sita again and flew away as bullets.

“I pay for the food properly.”

“Beep!”

It seemed that Ophelia was teaching properly. Ronan, who raised the corners of his mouth, rushed towards the vampires again. He knew that Sita’s bullets were being fired precisely at the vampire.

– Whoops!

“Aww!”

– Whoops!

“Kyaah!”

Ronan put a stake in the chest of the vampires who were turning into beehives as they walked around the banquet hall. Occasionally, the seeds that grow excessively were diced into Ramancha, which had reached the limit of anticipation. The vampires who noticed that Seunggi had completely turned their backs started running away.

“Do, run away!”

“The entrance is blocked!”

The barrier blocking the entrance was still intact. Even if he shot or bit the blood magic, there was not a single scratch. In a way, it was natural. Because it was a higher magic that was prepared to bind Jardouin’s feet.

Whoops! Then, a silver stake flew in from behind pierced the backs of the vampires. The vampires who had their heart pierced precisely died without even letting out a scream of exhaustion.

“…is it all over?”

Ronan stretched. No more moving vampires. The two that had just died seemed to be the last.

“This child is still beating and falling asleep.”

Zwei was stunned with his limbs amputated. During the fight, the section was burned with a torch, so regeneration was slow. Whoops! Ronan kicked his stomach. Zwei, who flew to the wall and collided, raised his head.

“Uh-huh, heh heh heh…! Hey, how did this happen…”

“Are you out of your mind?”

Ronan laughed. Zwei’s face turned to contemplation as he looked around. The corpses of the members scattered here and there were buried deep in silver stakes. Zwei, who woke up late, screamed.

“Ahhh!”

No one was alive except for himself. Ronan, who was squatting, said while pointing his silver stake at Zwei’s neck.

“Take out the essence of fresh blood.”

It was a dry voice with no emotion. Zwei, who spit in Ronan’s face, spit out a cursed cry.

“You cursed bastard! I will rip you to shreds and kill you! Hell’s deepest…”

Ronan wiped the saliva from his face. He silently thrust the stake into Zwei’s thigh. hooked. A muffled scream echoed through the banquet hall.

“Ahhh!”

“Take out the essence of fresh blood.”

The wound burned and stained black. Zwei didn’t answer. Ronan sighed and stabbed his left eye with a stake. The body without limbs protruded like a fish.

“Kyaah! Whoa!”

“The essence of fresh blood. take it out.”

“Hey, what the hell did you do until you got to this point!”

“What?”

“Damn it, you clearly said it. Help me catch Jarudine Stonesong! But why, why…!”

Suddenly, Zwei uttered an incomprehensible sound. Ronan tilted his head. Did the stake even pierce the brain? It was the moment when Ronan pulled out the stake that had been lodged in his eye.

“…Fuck.”

An intense life that was incomparable to anything before hit Ronan. He noticed that Zwei’s gaze was on the back, not his.

Ronan slowly turned his head. There was nothing to be seen except for the blood, intestines, and corpses of mosquitoes all over the place. Only the three people who had been captured by the vampires were lying on the table and moaning. Suddenly, Sita raised the feathers all over her body.

“Bye-ah-ah…!”

The blood that had been sprinkled on the banquet hall was being absorbed into Sita’s body. The four wings were vibrating rapidly as if preparing something. Ronan’s eyes widened.

“Sita?”

“Ahhh!”

A magic circle appeared in front of Sita. Ronan didn’t even know what to say, and the sphere that had been shot was shot at the stone table. Aww! The compressed blood exploded, creating a red cloud.

“Yamma, what are you doing all of a sudden…”

It was the car Ronan was trying to say something. The thick cloud of blood lifted, revealing a human form. A man with a sack over his head was sitting on the table. A gloomy voice echoed through the banquet hall.

“Disappointing.”

Ronan unwittingly grabbed the stake. He noticed at once that it was the author who was breathing life into it. Ronan took a deep breath and opened his mouth.

“···What are you?”

It was definitely one of those people who had been caught as prey. The man slowly turned his head toward Ronan. A red light was shining through the thin hilt. The voice rang out again.

“That is what I want to ask. fake. Where is Jordin?”

Ronan didn’t answer. The man got up. The cords that bound his hands and feet were untied. Zwei muttered in a bewildered voice.

“Hey, is that fake? that?”

“I’m sorry I expected it. I was curious because the kids said they were going to make Jarudine a family member, so I followed along…”

“Damn, answer me! That monster is fake?!”

The man who ignored Zwei took a step forward. Ronan grabbed the hilt. A sense of intimidation as if facing a natural phenomenon rather than a living creature was weighing down on his whole body.

‘Because I don’t want to be unlucky…’

Ronan clenched it. It was almost the same feeling as when I was dealing with Brigia. Then, a familiar voice was heard in my ear.

“Get away. It’s not something we can handle.”

“What?”

Whoa! At that moment, a dark blue hemisphere covered the walking man. Blood and shadows from all directions turned into swords and pierced the hemisphere. Finally, a gigantic jaw made of shadows engulfed the hemisphere.

“…Ophelia?”

All of this happened in less than two seconds. Ronan turned his head. Ophelia, who had clearly said that he could not come, was standing next to him. With her eyes wide open, she was aiming at the place where the man was standing.

“yes.”

“Why are you here? Since when have you been?”

“I was worried, so I followed from the beginning. Get the essence of fresh blood and run away sooner than that.”

The tone was completely different from usual. There was not even the slightest slack in Ophelia’s face, which was gleaming with red eyes. She bit her lips and muttered.

“Why is that man in such a place…”

“Who is that?”

“Balzac von Warsaw. He is the younger brother of the Shadow Archduke.”

“Shadow Archduke?”

I’ve heard her say It must have been the name mentioned when teaching Sita. Ophelia compared Sita’s talent to the childhood of the Shadow Archduke.

“yes. Rule the world of the night…”

It was the car Ophelia was trying to say something. Aww! Suddenly, the floor exploded, and a black shadow rose into the air. There was no gap to intercept. A man with a sack in his back landed in front of them.
