Chapter 133 To the climax (7)
When Gardius fell, even the elite soldiers of the Ignias family were shaken.
Taking advantage of that opportunity, the academy’s graduates counterattacked, and in the end they were able to win.
“Aernas-sama… … !”
“Why are you awake now!”
After all the fighting, Schmitz and Viola came running to me.
“If Aernas-nim had woken up just a little bit later, we would all have died… town!”
“I saw everything, Aernas-sama!”
Schmitz shouted, covering Viola’s mouth.
“It was a perfect swordsmanship! then… … !”
“Yes, Schmitz.”
I nodded.
“I realized the union of the new swords and reached the climax.”
“Ahh… … !”
Schmitz made a thrilled expression.
“It was worth the trust and waiting! Hey Viola! did i say that clearly? Aernas-sama deserves to reach the pinnacle level!”
“Ah, okay, put your hands away!”
Shaking off Schmitz, Viola let out a rough breath.
“Eh, Aernas-sama, did you really reach the climax then?”
“How many times do I have to tell you?”
“and… I knew you were amazing, but you really are ridiculously amazing.”
Viola said with a puzzled expression.
“What were you doing in the carriage for 5 days?”
“well… … .”
How should I explain the fight against Arkandel in the spirit world?
“I practiced beyond my best.”
“What do you mean?”
“There is such a thing.”
If I told you honestly that I fought against the main character I created, no one would understand.
“Ugh, if you notice anything, please share… … .”
“Viola, don’t be cocky!”
Schmitz squeezed the viola.
“I’m sorry, but my situation is a bit special, so telling you guys won’t help. You guys should challenge the climax in your own way.”
“I wonder if that day will ever come… … .”
Schmitz muttered with a confused expression, but I felt that Schmitz could reach the climax someday.
It was because before I jumped out of the carriage, I felt Schmitz perform the Calesius Spear Sword.
Except for Yoles and me, Schmitz was the first to master the Calesius lightning sword technique.
‘I don’t know when that will be… If you keep working hard, you will be able to reach the pinnacle.’
While encouraging Schmitz in my heart, I turned my head.
“Aernas… … .”
Ferdinand was looking at me as he was being treated by an assistant professor.
“It looks like you’ve properly absorbed Amrita’s mana and reached a peak.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
I bowed my head to Ferdinand.
“It’s all thanks to Professor.”
“Quit it. What are my thanks?”
It was Ferdinand who made Amrita, and it was Ferdinand who prepared for me to train in a carriage for 15 days.
Without Ferdinand, I would have had to come to the East as a senior graduate and fight Gardius.
To beat Gardius, who boasts tremendous strength and excellent skills, with the body of a senior graduate… It’s not easy.
“Thanks to the professor’s help, I was able to reach the peak. thank you.”
“… … .”
Ferdinand turned his head with a puzzled expression.
“Quit it. Hearing that makes me feel like I’ve become your teacher.”
“A master is a master. You’re the guidance professor.”
“I haven’t taught you anything properly. So don’t talk like that.”
“… … .”
Sorry, but I learned something from Ferdinand.
It’s because I got Cervest’s White Fire Sword from Ferdinand.
Although, Ferdinand probably doesn’t know at all that I inherited Cervest’s white fire swordsmanship.
“Anyway… Thanks to you, everyone was saved. If we didn’t, we could all be killed by Gardius.”
Ferdinand’s Cervest swordsmanship is unfavorable against Gardius.
It would have been difficult for the other professors in Ferdinand’s class to stop Gardius, so there was a high possibility that they would be annihilated.
“I was planning to attack Gardius with the other professors in the plains of Plation, but it was dangerous because Gardius struck first.
“If it’s Plation Plain… … .”
“It is Gardius’ sphere of influence. Gardius was guarding it with Raticle Ignias.”
Raticle Ignias is Caleon’s cousin.
I remember that he was a high-level graduate.
“How are the other professors doing?”
“They’re probably confronting the troops commanded by Raticle near the plains of Plation.”
“okay.”
I thought for a moment.
“Professor, then Gardius must have borrowed Laticle’s forces to ambush this place.”
“I guess so.”
“Raticle probably doesn’t know that Gardius was killed yet.”
“Yeah… Is that right?”
It wasn’t that he captured and killed all the troops who had attacked.
Some of them may have escaped, but they probably haven’t joined up with Raticle yet.
“Then, if we rush to the plains of Plation now and launch an attack, wouldn’t we be able to catch Raticle off guard?”
“… … !”
Ferdinand’s eyes widened.
“You son of a b*tch, say that… … .”
“Am I wrong?”
“You have to be able to catch me off guard. But how do I get there?”
Saying that, Ferdinand looked around.
“There are no major casualties, but everyone needs to rest. I also have to treat my injuries.”
“There are people who are fine.”
“what?”
“That’s it.”
I pointed my finger at my face.
“I will run to Plation Plain and attack Raticle.”
“… … .”
Ferdinand opened his mouth.
“Are you going alone?”
From noble mtl dot com.
“Didn’t you say everyone should rest?”
He responded with a calm expression.
“I have to go after resting for 15 days.”
“… … .”
“And that.”
I turned my head to the east.
“It’s the fastest way for me to go alone anyway.”
* * *
‘I wonder if Gardius-nim has killed them all by now?’
Raticle Ignias yawned inside the barracks.
He went with an elite force, so he might be on his way back after annihilating the enemies by now.
‘No matter how strong Aernas is, he’s no match for Gardius-sama.’
Raticle also heard that Aernas had defeated Claubice.
However, there were rumors that Aernas approached and knocked down Klauvice while he was running out of energy from attacking the best professors.
‘Clauvice was able to defeat it because it was a graduate specializing in long-range attacks. It won’t work for Gardius.’
Gardius is strong in close combat.
If it was a head-to-head confrontation, there was no way he would lose to Aernas.
‘If Gardius-nim comes back like that, I’ll have to hit the academy’s troops waiting over there.’
The academy’s troops from the southern region have been quiet since the last search battle.
They are waiting for reinforcements from the west.
‘They would be embarrassed if they knew that Guardius-nim had defeated the reinforcements in advance.’
Carleon’s order was to defend Plation Plain with Gardius.
However, if you can annihilate the academy’s forces, leaving the plains and launching a preemptive strike will be fine.
‘Yes, if I destroy the academy’s troops, my position in the Ignias family… … .’
When Raticle was lost in rosy imagination.
Suddenly there was a commotion outside the barracks.
“What’s going on?”
“Raticle! in the west… Ahh!”
cooong!
A roar was heard along with screams.
Surprised, Raticle grabbed his sword and ran out of the barracks.
“What?!”
Many soldiers were down.
It was clear that he could not resist properly and was knocked down in one blow.
And to defeat those soldiers… There was only one person.
“… … .”
A young man with silvery white hair was standing with his bare hands.
A blue aura was swirling around the young man’s body, but it soon disappeared.
“You bastard, who are you!”
Raticle raised her sword and shouted.
“How the hell did you even get here! Did you use stealth techniques?!”
Even Raticle knew that there were graduates with excellent stealth skills.
However, the Ignias family had prepared everything to prevent such people from hiding.
How the hell did that guy get here?
“Are you an assassin of the Blood Sword Elders? Answer me!”
“Don’t you know who I am?”
“what?”
“Well, you might not know since you changed clothes.”
The young man made a sad expression.
“I didn’t change my clothes for 15 days, and I smelled it. So I changed into something other than my school uniform and came back.”
“uniform… … ?”
Wearing a school uniform means you are an academy student.
then… … .
“no way… Ernas Landstein?!”
“Yes, Raticle Ignias.”
“… … !”
Raticle hurriedly deployed his sword technique.
I never dreamed that Aernas would appear so suddenly.
“Uh, what happened?”
“what?”
“Have you not met Gardius-sama?!”
Maybe there was a gap in the middle?
If Aernas arrived via another route while Gardius was advancing on the wrong road, it would be really embarrassing.
“Gardius, I met you.”
“what?”
“They raided our camp. so… … .”
Aernas spoke in a calm voice.
“I knocked him down.”
“… … !”
Raticle doubted his ears.
“Ooh, don’t be funny! You said you defeated Gardius-sama?”
“… … .”
“Guardius-nim is the ‘Sword King’ representing the East! How dare you say that… … !”
Right then.
Raticle felt the sound of the wind behind him.
Today was a windless day, so Raticle felt uncomfortable.
“Cuck!”
Then, Raticle felt a cold blade pierce her back.
The sound of the wind was the sound of a sword flying somewhere.
“This, this… … .”
Raticle realized it belatedly.
A lot of soldiers were lying around, but Aernas didn’t have a sword in his hand.
“You bastard, no way, with swordsmanship… … .”
Sword swordsmanship can only be used by high-level swordsmen.
So, Aernas in front of me… … .
“Nonsense, how can a kid like you reach the climax… … .”
“Let me tell you one thing, Raticle.”
Aernas spoke in a calm voice.
“I inherited the title of Sword King. Gardius passed it on to me at the last minute.”
“… … !”
“So, you’d better not dare to say such a thing.”
Repeating what Raticle had said earlier, Aernas fired at him.
“Wouldn’t it be better to be killed by the Sword King than to be killed by a kid?”
“Keugh… … .”
No more words came out of Raticle’s mouth.
For some reason, cold air penetrated from the blade stuck in his body.
With the sensation of freezing inside her body, Raticle died.
* * *
‘It’s also possible to apply Cervest’s white fire swordsmanship to fish swordsmanship.’
I retrieved the True Silver Sword from Laticle’s corpse.
I put the coldness of Cervest’s white fire sword technique into the blade and threw it away, but it seemed to be quite usable.
‘It seems that swordsmanship is better than I expected. For some reason.’
I never really learned swordsmanship.
Nevertheless, to use swordsmanship skillfully like this… There must be some reason.
‘Is it because of the experience of fighting Claubice?’
At that time, I fought against the Schreier’s non-sword swordsmanship that Claubice was using.
As I confronted the continuously pouring swordsmanship attacks head-on, I might have realized the secret of swordsmanship without my knowledge.
‘It would have been helpful to have mastered the Storm Clouds… … .’
With that thought in mind, I fired a true iron sword at the Ignias Family Graduate who was running nearby.
However, his ability to respond to magical power was inferior to that of the Jineun sword, so his sword swordsmanship was not smooth.
‘I guess I need to try it in various ways.’
I’m still at the peak level.
I have to figure out what I can and cannot do right now.
And based on my capabilities, I will have to pioneer new areas.
“Raticle!”
“That child… … !”
The soldiers of the Ignias family continued to flock.
They had infiltrated this far at once using the Lichtenau Warfare Technique and the Thunderbolt Weapon, so many soldiers still remained around them.
“Surround and attack! No matter how strong he is, he has his limits alone!”
“That’s right.”
I nodded and admitted.
“But am I alone?”
“what… … ?”
Right then.
A shout came from the south.
“what? no way… … !”
“Academy, Academy bastards!”
A signal was sent to the Academy’s main force, which was waiting in the south.
Professor Valentiano and Professor Angela will lead the graduates and rush.
“Well, then… … .”
I raised my magic power while holding the true steel sword and true silver sword in my hands.
“Those who are willing to surrender would do well to throw away their swords quickly.”
“… … !”
Against the astonished soldiers, I resumed the battle.
In order to get used to the pinnacle as soon as possible and open up a new field.
