I Became a Time-Limited Swordsmanship Genius at the Academy

43. The King of Monsters

– Chur Oo!!

The Minotaur, having bitten off its flesh, rushed at Theo in anger.

“Dangerous!”

Students rushed to help.

– Chur, uh.

The situation that I thought did not happen.

The Minotaur stopped running.

Cheekyong.

I can hear the sound of swords slicing.

“Leave the small monsters to me.”

G-Gren drew his sword faster than anyone else and cut it at an imperceptible speed.

The Minotaur spewed blood fountains and became a corpse.

“Oh, my meat…”

“…Student Theo’s condition is serious.”

Theo salivated and sighed as if it was a waste.

***

“It’s an early symptom of a magi addict.”

Luna Elliot touched Theo’s wrist.

It wasn’t a human color, but it was dyed blue like the skin of a dead person.

“Magi Addict…”

“I’m sure. The land is too barren for humans to live. You can see monsters all the time, and every time you breathe in, your lungs are filled with demonic energy. Student Theo has probably been drinking demonic energy and eating monster meat for a long time, so it’s faster. I think I’m addicted.”

“What happens when you get poisoned by Magi?”

“As you can see…”

“hehehe.”

Theo laughed stupidly as if it tickled him.

Crooked corners of mouth, bushy beard, restless body.

At first glance, it wasn’t normal.

“You can’t keep your thoughts in place. Your judgment is clouded. As time passes, you can’t move your body properly and eventually you die standing still.”

“Is there any workaround?”

“The best solution is to get out of here as soon as possible. All the medicines here are contaminated with demonic energy and are useless. Until then, I can suppress them with my holy power.”

“I see. Thank you.”

It wasn’t the worst situation at all.

At least there was a healing method, and there was also a divine power holder that slowed down demonic energy. Bringing in Luna Elliot was really smart.

When I went to the students after the conversation, they were chattering with each other’s anxiety.

“Couldn’t we be like Theo?”

“I’ve become a completely different person… I don’t want to be like that.”

“Maybe I just came…”

‘It’s a very difficult place for students.’

Leatis Penrose was the only one who could keep his head clear.

Where did the Elyos, Rin and Gall, disappear, saying, ‘Looks like there’s a lot of fun!’

“Professor. Is Theo all right?”

“Radia students.”

Ladia gripped her pendant around her neck.

“Like Theo Artos, El has already been encroached upon by demons or something…”

“It’s better not to think too deeply. You know how great El is, and Radia, too, right? He’ll be fine.”

“……”

As if reassured by the kind words, Ladia gave a small smile.

Clap!

G-Gren clapped her hands and drew the attention of the students.

“You all know the situation is bad. But if we hurry, even the rope to save them will disappear. Quickly but surely. We will ensure your lives are safe, so please don’t worry too much.”

The students were nervous, but nodded.

He was relieved because he had just witnessed the moment the Minotaur’s body split into two.

Professor G.Gren’s skills are at the top of the academy. In her dead tomb, few are stronger than her.

“Student Theo. You said you were definitely with El and Galihad until the very end, right?”

“hehehe. Yes. That’s right. I saw it with my own eyes.”

“Do you know where they went?”

“Uh, uh… I don’t know. The guy with the giant wings just took L. He looked very friendly. It looked fun… I’m sure he’ll ask me to join him.”

Huge wings?

‘If it’s wings, they must be demons. Could it be that the demons took El and Galihad?’

I can’t.

G-Gren’s expression gradually hardened.

“Location. Where did the man with those wings go?”

“I don’t remember. I was fighting and I got in the way… I was annoyed.”

I don’t remember either.

I decided that getting information from Theo would be difficult.

‘Then where should I go?’

There were no more visible traces around. In fact, just finding Theo was a miracle.

The wizards did their best to chase the flow of mana, but the magic was too thick and El had no mana, so there was no trace.

A situation where neither of these can be done.

I was thinking about whether I should search all around with the feeling of heading on the ground.

“Huh? Professor. Look at that.”

Ladia pointed her finger at something.

– Meow.

“…A cat?”

It was a cat.

It was very conspicuous like a white dot on black drawing paper.

The white fur that was kept clean even in the dirty land and the purple eyes of a sublime that shone brightly.

Since it was Ji-Gren, who is known for dropping cranes when it comes to cats, she trembled as if an insect crawled on her body, but soon felt familiar.

It wasn’t hard for Radia to notice that either.

“It’s the cat Elle was hanging out with!”

“Ah!”

Yes.

The other day, when I went to get her training beads, I met her eyes.

I felt familiar with that cat even then, and it’s the same now.

– Meow.

The cat cried as if it had finally found itself.

Turns around and wags its tail. Walking proudly like a cat, she turned around and cried again.

“Am I asking you to follow me?”

– Meow.

The cat cried as if the answer was correct.

“I think I’ll have to go first. It was the cat that was with El, and it will be the only information.”

“I think it’s stupid to believe in cats…But right now there’s really no way.”

‘Why is the cat in the grave of the dead?’

G-Gren, Leatis, and Isabelle all thought the same thing at the same time.

The student disappeared three days ago.

A long time passed before Theo Artos was poisoned by Magi.

The cat, like an animal, was walking normally.

***

There was no need to wield a sword.

One step was more important than the time spent swinging the sword.

Damn it!

Now I heard a familiar sound.

Blue water vapor follows, and ice flowers bloom where it passes.

The monsters pushed and fell to run away from each other without a chance to resist, then froze in their ugly posture.

‘Frost Sword 4th.’

Look at the lines made up of notes.

A lifeline that allows monsters to form a whole body.

– KeeeK!!!

Sensing danger, the mantis monster removed its frozen body and opened its mouth.

That became the last stand.

Jump!

Lines fall like petals.

The monster’s body, weaker than petals, split like a puzzle piece.

‘Health is restored.’

Although it didn’t show through the system message, the experience gained while killing monsters.

His stats went up and he recovered his struggling body.

It goes on endlessly.

Today, I was a runaway locomotive that couldn’t stop.

However, there was someone who would attack even the runaway locomotive.

“You’ve come a long way. I didn’t expect you to come this far.”

A voice that vibrates the brain.

You can feel the overwhelming presence with just one voice.

I raised my head at the sound I heard from above.

“Anubis…”

“Do you know my name, little one.”

A human body with a dog’s head.

A monster holding a huge axe.

No, I bet there is no one smarter than him among monsters.

“Yes. It’s a mere insignificant thing, but it can be evaluated as great enough just by coming this far…”

“Mmm, muk, muk, muk!”

From noble mtl dot com

“Oh please, Akmodok…”

Anubis raised his head and shook his head.

Next to him was another monster with a bandage on his head.

Akmodok.

It was an undead that was so stupid that it couldn’t even remember its own name and had such a grotesque appearance.

His eyeballs protruded and shook delongedly, and there were more parts of his arms and legs that had no flesh.

The final evolution form of the undead and a mutation.

It was synonymous with immortality that did not die.

“Eat! Eat! Eat!”

Anubis stopped Akmodok with his hand as he salivated and rushed forward.

“Don’t worry about me. He’s just losing his mind after seeing his prey for the first time in a while. We’ll just have to fight a fair fight amongst ourselves.”

Bang!

Anubis took the axe.

The ground shuddered and a huge sand prison was created.

“Eat, eat! Eat!”

Akmodok grabbed the sand prison and shook it in annoyance.

…The sand prison contained Akmodok, not me.

‘This is what a fair fight means?’

It was a great welcome for me.

I drew my sword to show my sincerity.

Anubis looked at El and admired the thrill she felt after a long time.

‘He is not an ordinary person. It’s not as good as Malkaras-sama, but this is a short-lived species that lives a short life. I’m afraid of the future.’

So I have no choice but to end it here.

It was time to hold the ax with both hands and take a big shot.

– Stop.

Anubis’s body stiffened.

A gigantic being that even Anubis, three times the size of a human body, has to look up.

Malkaras, a monster bigger than Mount Tai, who is treated as a god here, finally opened his mouth.

“Eat…”

Even Akmodok, who was making a lot of noise, slipped away while noticing.

– You are a mysterious person.

“What’s strange?”

– Your existence itself.

Koo-Goo-Gung.

Even the slightest movement made the ground tremble.

‘Finger?’

It was a very thin finger. No, even calling it a finger was strange.

Because it wasn’t thick skin like humans or monsters, it was just a tree branch.

However, because of its size, it was almost as thick as the branches of the World Tree.

It was placed in front of me as if to get on my finger.

‘Is there any hostility?’

As expected, as soon as it climbed onto my finger, it cut through the wind and soared upward in an instant.

It was so dark that I couldn’t see anything about Malkaras.

Its arms and legs were made of tree branches, and its body was made of thick fur.

It was covered with so many hairs that it was impossible to tell how the body was made, and only white eyes were visible on the face.
