Academy’s Genius Swordsman chapter 128

< 128. Finding the Scream (5) >

#128

‘This···!’

Ronan’s eyes widened. The savior’s swordsmanship was very similar to that of the Butterfly Rose. It was taught by a wanderer he encountered in the southern jungle.

However, there was a significant difference in level. I could tell just by that brief slash. The Nabirose Ryu was among the best swordsman Ronan had ever seen, but compared to the Savior’s Sword, it felt like a crude subclass. The non-existent hand began to itch.

‘Can I follow along?’

It was the first time I wasn’t sure I could copy it after seeing it once. Ronan was wandering in the maze drawn by Gumro. A man in a robe strode towards me.

“You suffered.”

“Have the horns cut into pieces. It is a valuable material.”

“All right.”

Even after the conversation was over, the man did not leave his seat. The man who was wriggling his fingers opened his mouth carefully.

“…I could have killed him.”

“It must have been.”

“Did you stop telling me that you knew?”

“Because Navardoze could not have been killed.”

The stabbed man shut his mouth. If Navardoze, who was angry at the death of his clan, had come, he would surely have been a handful of ashes. The silent man’s mouth opened again.

“…if it’s the savior, wouldn’t it be possible?”

【Do that.】

Suddenly, the savior lowered his voice. His voice was dignified as if he had become a different person. The man shrugged his shoulders in a sense of oppression that erupted for a moment.

“···sorry. You were talking off topic.”

“Okay. Go and rest.”

The savior’s voice returned to normal. The man bowed his head to greet him and withdrew from his seat. The savior, who had adjusted his clothes, looked back at Alibrihe and said.

“Alibrihe. Can you supervise the construction nearby for a few months with Elsia and ■■?”

“What, where are you going?”

“I think I should visit Navardoze-sama. Even if it’s a sore finger, it’s true that I touched her family.”

“hahaha, you are in great shape. You don’t seem to mind, but it’s safer that way.”

Alibrihe chuckled. He said he liked the savior’s attitude to respect the dragon’s laws. Alibrihe assured, banging on his chest.

“Leave it to me. Well, it’s best to be careful when passing through the central Kainax.”

“Why?”

“Not long ago, a young blue-eyed guy played a rare. It’s a fertile land, so even if humans say they’ll come, they don’t listen at all.”

Alibrihe murmured. The savior, who read his subtle expression, grinned.

“It looks like you don’t like it though.”

“hahaha, did you hear me? It reminded me of me when I was young. It’s also the same black dragon.”

“I should say goodbye. What’s your name?”

“Orsay. They have four wings, so you will recognize them at a glance.”

When Ronan heard the name Orsay, he laughed. Again, he felt the darkness of the past he was going through.

‘It’s fine. It’s a child dragon.’

The incident of Orsay, who was defeated in the decisive battle with the first emperor, and left for the West, has long since been reduced to a myth or a fairy tale rather than history. After a brief greeting, the savior turned away.

“Then I will go.”

His close associates, including Elsia, saw him off. It was the moment he left the village. Pot! Suddenly, Ronan’s vision darkened.

‘Damn, what?’

I couldn’t see anything as if I was blind. It was the car that Ronan was just about to spit out. Suddenly, my eyes brightened, and the scenery of the town caught my eye.

But it wasn’t the savior’s sight. The video reflected the changing view of the village by changing the point of view. It was like watching a broadcast video filmed during the midterm evaluation of Nabi Rose.

‘What are you trying to show me?’

Ronan tilted his head. In the video, time passed at an incredible speed. Every time I blinked, the sun was rising and setting repeatedly.

As Elsia said, people were gathering from all over. The river drawn by the spirits began to flow meandering through the village. Gradually, the village became a huge community worthy of being called a city.

The chieftain became the village chief, and the village chief became the lord. The seed planted on the day the dragon was expelled became a giant tree and cast a shadow.

It was around the time when the flag with the seven-pointed star fluttered over the walls of the brick city. The savior and his crew quietly left the city.

However, their plan to disappear like smoke failed. Even though they escaped at dawn when everyone was asleep, the savior opened his mouth as he saw the people following him.

“I am not a great person you can trust and follow.”

“Savior. No one in this city is unaware of your miracles.”

“It is a miracle you have accomplished. Say a prayer of thanks to your ancestors and go to sleep.”

“If you can’t look at the same star, please allow me to look at your back!”

Despite the savior’s perseverance, the people did not break their stubbornness. In the end, the savior had to move on, leaving only the words to take care of it. Ronan nodded slowly.

‘In this way, the tax has increased.’

After wandering the continent for a long time, they settled again in the far north. The natives who lived in small villages shouted in bewilderment.

“You, who are you!”

“It is a barren but strong land. I have come to help you.”

said the savior. What had been seen before was repeated. The village, which was nothing more than a set of tents in the fire, was transformed into a great fortress within a few years.

After a certain number of positions were established, they soon left the North. By that time, those who called themselves believers had multiplied several times.

The Savior continued to prosper the community and repeat the act of leaving. It was a day after so many decades. Alibrihe, who was walking alongside him, opened his mouth.

“We’re talking about, I think we should come up with a name for the organization.”

They were wandering the continent in search of a place to thrive again. A blue sky hung over the western prairie that stretched far away. The savior shrugged his eyebrows.

“Do you really need to?”

“Well, everyone wants it. It’s nice to have a sense of belonging, right?”

“I heard that it is already called the Nebula Church in the world.”

“That’s not cool. Besides, it’s a name given to us by those who treat us as heretics.”

Alibrihe frowned. Elsia and the man in a robe, who was walking next to them, shook their heads as if in agreement.

“I agree with Alibrihe’s opinion.”

“That’s right. When the word “denomination” is used, people tend to be wary.”

The savior, who was rubbing his chin, looked back. The people following him caught his eye. Ronan frowned at the number of heads beyond imagination.

‘Damn, how many people is this?’

At least there seemed to be thousands. People who gathered without distinction of age, gender, or race were all wearing white robes imitating the savior’s attire. Their appearance across the prairie looked like a flock of sheep following a shepherd.

“It’s your name…”

The savior drooled. He was walking while looking up at the sky and finally opened his mouth.

“Nebula Clazier.”

“Hey, what do you mean?”

“The Nebula Church. It is an old language pronunciation of the names that the world calls us.”

“Well, it’s the same after all.”

Alibrihe chuckled. The savior stopped for a moment and thirsty for the child who was following right behind him. The sound of indefinite laughter rang out.

“Hey!”

“As long as you don’t lose your meaning, how about a name?”

The sky was clear and the wind was refreshing. The feeling of the grass crumbling with each step was very nice. As he stared at the horizon, he muttered softly.

“I believe people can be a better being. Even if it’s a stupid race whose instinct is to destroy itself…”

Finally, the video ended with an unexpected recitation. vision was blurred. For a moment, my eyes seemed to go dark, but then it became bright again.

****

“Ummm…”

Ronan opened his eyes. The crimson sky stretched out over his forehead. tap. widely. There was the sound of burning firewood from somewhere.

A stinky stench suddenly stung his nostrils. Ronan with a frown on his forehead slowly got up from his seat.

Whoops! A ferocious gust of wind swept his bangs. Recognizing that the five senses had returned, Ronan widened his eyes.

“This···.”

The body was also back. Judging from the familiar eye level, it was Ronan’s own body, not the savior.

La Mancha and Ymir. The two love swords were also hung intactly on both sides of the waist. But there was no time to rejoice over that fact. Hell was unfolding before my eyes.

“Shake. What happened?”

He was standing on the top of a cliff. The relatively high altitude made it possible to see the devastation of the surroundings at a glance. The city was engulfed in flames.

No survivors could be found inside the horribly destroyed walls. The lingering flames engulfed the corpses and debris, increasing their intensity. Smoke soaring like a volcanic cone obscured the stars and the moon.

The river meandering through the city was boiling red. It was hard to open my eyes because of the heat and the scattered embers. Then a familiar voice came from not far away.

“It’s disappointing. It’s going to be like this after I’ve been away for a while.”

As I turned my head, I saw the faces of people I had been familiar with. The savior and his entourage huddled together, looking down on the city.

‘shit!’

Ronan bowed unconsciously. The savior’s face turned into a shimmering shadow. Alibrihe, who had been watching the devastation in vain, opened his mouth.

“Is it war again?”

“yes.”

The man wearing a robe groaned. As he said, the sound of weapons clashing was still resounding in the distance. Cries of death and death were mingled in the wind.

“How many times is this? I have seen destruction.”

“It will be more than a hundred times for each country alone.”

“Which country has contributed to the founding of the country?”

“It’s more than seven hundred.”

 Alibrige spit on the floor. Elsia, who was silently watching the tragedy, bit her lips.

Ronan looked around the terrain and noticed that this was the first village he had visited. He defeated the dragon by possessing the body of the savior. The savior, who had been silent, finally spoke.

“let’s go.”

“Going, where are you talking about?”

“We have to save those who remain.”

“Everyone in the city is dead. Are you not watching?”

“There are survivors among those who invaded. They left the wounded ones behind.”

Alibrihe and Elsia’s faces hardened. The man who managed to take a deep breath opened his mouth.

“…saving the believers is our priority. We must return to the Holy Land as soon as possible to understand the situation.”

“There is no such thing as superiority or inferiority in mortality. Follow me.”

The savior took a step. But no one followed. An angry voice came from behind him.

“I will decline.”

The savior turned his head. The one who spoke was a man wearing a robe. He spoke in a squeaky voice.

“I can’t understand it any more. Where on earth can you find the values to protect? For thousands of years, I followed the Savior and tried to understand his meaning, but now it is the limit.”

“Limited.”

“That’s right. This is not salvation. It’s as foolish as pouring water into a bottomed jar. No matter how hard we try, mortals are only bogging themselves down.”

The man wearing a robe continued. He began to recite what had happened during the time Ronan had not seen. It was a list of common human affairs. They kill each other, wage wars for trivial reasons, and perish at will…

However, there was a deep hatred in his passionate tone. The man who poured out his words as if to vomit stared at the savior.

“Nebula Clazier must be reborn. At least this is not the right way of salvation.”

“Are you guys thinking the same thing?”

The savior turned to Alibrihe and Elsia. The two hesitated and avoided their gaze. They responded by not moving from their seats.

“is it.”

“Savior…”

It seemed that the conversation had already passed between the three of them. The savior, who was looking at the three of them quietly, nodded.

“Then there is nothing you can do. Farewell here.”

“Are you really going this way?”

“okay. It doesn’t seem to make any sense to say any more. I hope you find your own answer.”

The savior began walking to the edge of the cliff without hesitation. It was too futile to say goodbye to colleagues who had been together for countless years. The man wearing a robe shouted desperately.

“Savior!”

“May the blessings of the stars be with you.”

But the savior did not stop, let alone look back. At that moment, the figure of the man in the robe disappeared from view. Ronan, who felt an instinctive horror, was about to shout something.

“for a moment···!”

Whoops! It sounded like a stone being dropped into a swamp. Silence, as if time had stopped, descended on the cliff. The savior slowly lowered his gaze. A pure white blade was protruding through the ship.

“Cuckoo.”

“All right. I will find the answer.”

The missing man appeared behind the savior. Blood was dripping from the spot where the tip of the sword came out. Putting his face to the savior’s ear, he whispered dryly.

“So, leave your power behind.”

“■■····.”

The savior’s body staggered. It didn’t seem like an ordinary sword. He looked at the man without any resistance.

The man was holding the savior’s neck with one arm to prevent the sword from coming out. The sparkling energy was being absorbed by the sword. Ronan, who realized the situation late, spit out swear words.

“Fuck…!”

From here on, it was an act based on instinct. Ronan kicked the ground and ran. He narrowed the distance in an instant and swung his sword and shouted.

“You bastard! What are you doing now!”

“What?”

The man in the robe turned his head. The two blades were already close to his eyes. He hurriedly drew his sword and raised his arm. Kaan! A ferocious metallic sound resounded over the cliff.
