Chapter 139 Sword of Inferno (2)
A small fortress occupied by the Ignias family.
The place was being overrun by a blue-haired young man who moved like the wind.
“Ha, Heinrich Agrippa!”
“Stop it somehow… … !”
Papa pat!
The top of the castle wall was stained with blood from Heinrich’s rush like a gale.
“Ha, Heinrich-nim! That’s me! He was under Heinrich in Class 2 of Blue… Whoops!”
On top of the castle wall, there was also a student who was Heinrich’s classmate at the academy.
However, being here means joining the Caleon faction and becoming an ally of the Ignias family.
If so, Heinrich had no reason to keep matters in his hands.
“Heinrich-sama, the commander is on the right!”
“Okay, Camilo.”
Hearing the voice of his close aide, Camilo, Heinrich used the Lichtenauer Sensitivity technique and threw himself.
An overweight woman surrounded by soldiers opened her eyes wide as she looked at me.
“Are you Rayna Ignias, the cousin of Caleon Ignias?”
“No, stop it! Stop him!”
The woman scolded her subordinates.
To those who urgently deployed sword skills, Heinrich launched a series of attacks like a flurry.
Breaking through the fallen Graduates in an instant, Heinrich charged towards Reina Ignias.
“You guys… … !”
She unleashed a mighty swordsmanship.
It was a high-level swordsman.
“no use.”
“Ugh… … !”
Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwam!
The crux, the super-fast 4 consecutive attacks that represent Agrippa’s cutting technique, unfolded.
When he played against Aernas in the past, it was only a clumsy imitation, but now it was as complete as his father, Brantley.
Reina Ignias could not block these 4 consecutive attacks and collapsed while bleeding.
“Whoa… … .”
Behind Heinrich, who was catching his breath after defeating the commander, the voice of Professor Yols could be heard.
“Excellent, Heinrich.”
“professor.”
“Now I can defeat even senior graduates.”
“It was like someone who had been away from the sword for a while.”
When you become a senior graduate, you will undergo a metamorphosis.
However, having such an obese body type means that he has lived a negligent life without swinging a sword for a while.
Unlike Heinrich, who had been fighting on the battlefield for so long.
“But, now you seem to be a decent senior graduate.”
“… … .”
“You’re amazing, Heinrich.”
Not long ago, Heinrich subdued the remnants of the Schreier family in the south and received the White Elixir.
He made most of that magical power his own, and finally reached the advanced level of graduate.
Because he had also experienced a metamorphosis, his body shape was much stronger than before.
“You are already better than average full professors.”
As Yoles said, Heinrich was showing a dazzling performance in the detached unit.
He was making far more achievements than the full professors under Yoles’ direct control.
“However, it is still not enough.”
Heinrich spat out a rough voice.
“Professor Yoles, do you think the rumors are true?”
“rumor?”
“The rumor that Aernas has reached its peak.”
“… … .”
Yols’ detached detachment was unable to communicate directly with Valentiano’s main force.
However, according to the stories of the captives of the Ignias family, Aernas reached the pinnacle and defeated the Sword King and the Swordsman.
“It seems true that the Sword King and Swordsman died. then… It must be true that Aernas has reached its peak.”
“okay.”
Heinrich nodded.
Without a change in expression, calmly.
“Heinrich.”
Looking at such Heinrich, Yoles spoke slowly.
“If you… I don’t think he will ruin himself with jealousy while watching Aernas go ahead.”
“Can I possibly do that?”
“Yes, that is the difference from the heirs of other families.”
Yoles smiled.
“Use your competitive spirit against Aernas as a driving force to become stronger.”
“… … .”
“You can be stronger. Let it go without wavering.”
After saying that, Yoles left.
Looking around the battlefield where the sweeping battle was underway, Heinrich tightened his grip on the sword.
‘Aernas… … .’
It was obviously shocking that Aernas had reached its peak.
However, as Yoles said, Heinrich is never overcome by jealousy.
Rather, fighting spirit was burning.
‘Wait, Aernas.’
Muttering in his heart, Heinrich deployed his sword technique.
‘I’ll have to reach there sooner or later.’
Heinrich intended to continue running, using the advanced swordsmanship genius as a milestone.

“According to the information obtained from the prisoners, it seems that Professor Yols’ detached force is well flanked by the enemy.”
Looking down at the map spread out in the tent, Professor Ferdinand opened his mouth.
“Sooner or later, I will be able to pinpoint the main base of the Ignias family with the detached troops.”
“I guess.”
Professor Valentiano, who is in charge of the main academy, nodded.
“I think the problem is that Professor Yols’ detached unit is so elusive that it’s hard for us to get in touch.”
“But I will be in touch soon.”
Professor Angela answered in a relaxed voice.
“I don’t know if Professor Yols has secured Just Bastian, but there’s no announcement from the Ignias family, so you don’t have to worry about that either.”
“Yes, at least it seems that the Ignias family did not capture Duke Bastian.”
The professors I was talking with looked at me.
“Aernas, what do you think?”
“well.”
I was the only student participating in the strategy meeting.
I could already say that I had attained a position almost equal to that of my supervisor.
“Professor Yoles has Serene as well. I guess I have no choice but to trust the detached unit and leave it to you.”
“That too.”
“It’s like we’re sending additional personnel.”
As I was winning and winning, I came close to Ignias’ headquarters… It was not a situation where you could relax.
Half of the prestigious families in the East support the Ignias family.
If we show even the slightest gap, we will be surrounded in an instant.
Oleana of the Clarion family unites and holds the anti-Ignias camps in check, but… Those families would also withdraw immediately if the academy were to collapse.
“The priority is to strike Ignias headquarters with all your might and quickly subdue Carleon Ignias.”
“Hmm, that’s right.”
Valentiano nodded.
“Quick battle with elite troops at the forefront… That’s for the best.”
“Our academy has only that. Because there is not enough head.”
said Ferdinand, stroking his chin.
“To the four people here right now… If you include Professor Yoles, there are five people at the peak. If we attack in unison, we should be able to destroy Ignias’ headquarters.”
“If you think about it from Kaleon’s point of view, it must be the most painful to see the sword king and sword lord being defeated individually.”
As Valentiano points out, Carleon’s biggest mistake was this.
With the sword king Gardius and the sword queen Isabella at their side, if the three of them went to the academy together, they would have had a chance to win.
However, Carleon made the Sword King and Swordsman move independently, and eventually each was defeated, leaving only Carleon alone.
“No matter how good Carleon is as a swordsman, he won’t be able to stop us.”
“yes.”
Carleon was a professor at the academy.
That’s why everyone knew how good Carleon was.
Although he’s an excellent swordsman, he’s not good enough to deal with all the people here right now… That was the common evaluation of the professors.
“I don’t think we should take that part too lightly.”
However, I spoke in a calm voice.
“Current Carleon Ignias will be stronger than we knew.”
“what?”
“Aernas, what do you mean by that?”
The professors were perplexed.
“Hey, I’m not a student in the middle of growing up… How strong must he have gotten while Carleon couldn’t see him?”
“Yes, as far as I know, Carleon has already reached his limit.”
Ferdinand and Valentiano objected.
But I shook my head.
“What you know is not the true limit of Caleon.”
“what?”
“Now that he is cornered, Carleon will try to unleash the true power of Ignias Infernal Sword.”
Ignias Infernal Swordsmanship is a swordsmanship created by the first Duke of Ignias, ‘Infernal Jade Gong’, who assisted the iron-blood sword emperor a thousand years ago.
But until now, none of the heads of the Ignias family had reached the level of the Infernal Jade Ball.
It is similar to the fact that there has not been a person in the Marteris family who has mastered the Marteris two-wheeled swordsmanship for hundreds of years.
but… Now, Carleon will be able to exert a power close to that of the Flame Jade Ball, at least temporarily.
If you made the same choice as in the novel.
“If my guess is correct… Carleon must have been in a state where he could unleash ‘firepower’ beyond what you know.”
“fire power… … ?”
At a word that is not usually used, the professors made a puzzled expression.
* * *
The detached corps led by Professor Yols continued to advance towards the headquarters of the Ignias family.
Not long ago, I also contacted the headquarters.
It was also confirmed that Aernas reached its peak and defeated the Sword King and Swordsman, now all that was left was to strike the Ignias family’s headquarters on time.
‘If it’s as Aernas expected… Carleon Ignias has obtained a new power.’
Passing through the thick forest, Yoles was lost in thought.
‘If he really gained that much power, the academy’s advisors would have to fight with all their might.’
From noble mtl dot com.
Thinking so, Yoles turned his head.
I could see the full professors of the academy moving together, and elite students like Heinrich and Serine.
However, even if they all work together, they will not be able to oppose Carleon.
‘Even with my Gratusian swordsmanship… It will be difficult to deal with.’
Yoles bit his lip.
You have to join forces with the other professors and Aernas to fight.
“Professor Yoles!”
But, just then.
Claude, assistant professor of Yoles class, came running.
He is from the South and trained at Salvatore Atillion’s swordsmanship school.
“I just detected it with Atillion’s magic detection! Unusual magic is ahead!”
“Unusual magical power?”
The moment Yoles, startled, raised his head to the front.
A man was seen flying out of the woods.
“Caleon Ignias… … !”
Everyone’s eyes were taken away by the sight of her flying up with her whole body wrapped in red energy.
However, Yoles felt goose bumps all over his body.
It was because he intuitively understood Carleon’s strategy.
“Everyone deploy self-defense and retreat!”
The Ignias headquarters was under pressure from both sides by the Academy’s main unit and the detached unit.
In the meantime, the academy had expected that Carleon would prepare thoroughly for the decisive battle, but Carleon jumped out of the main base without waiting.
Carleon’s goal was to attack Yoles’ detached unit that was approaching from the side.
Just like how we’ve been defeated individually until now… This time, it was to defeat the academy camp individually.
“It is an order! Run without looking back! Now, Carleon Ignias… … !”
While screaming, Yols pushed his mana to the limit.
In order to minimize the damage of the attack that was about to fly, Yoles had to exert power beyond the limit with Gratusia’s dragon sword technique.
“It’s like a dragon that breathes… … !”
The moment Carleon flew into the air and swung a sword that was burning red.
Like the breath of an ancient fire dragon that went extinct in the distant past… The flames of hell began pouring out.
