The Lazy Genius of the Duke’s Family (79)

Making a mess isn’t your specialty (4)

A black castle suddenly appeared in the center of the battlefield.

The audience who saw the castle cheered, thinking that it was a special event prepared by the Welcome Tower.

However, those who knew about the Welcome Tower tilted their heads in confusion. It was impossible for such a castle to suddenly appear in the middle of a battle.

It was the same for the cadets.

“What the hell is going on?”

The sudden appearance of a black castle brought the four academy competitions to a lull. However, only one person, Benio, frowned and tilted his head at the familiar feeling that tickled his aura.

‘What the heck? Why does this feel familiar?’

After a while, the black gate made of welcome opened and a red-haired person walked out. The cadets who saw him started to murmur.

“What, who are you?”

“I don’t know. It’s my first time seeing your face.”

“Has there ever been a case like this?”

Benio narrowed his eyes and looked at the red hair. His head kept twitching, as if he was thinking about something.

At that moment, the redhead stood proudly in front of the gate and shouted at the four academy students.

“I am Redon from the Sangwi Academy!”

Sangwis and Redon.

Both of them tilted their heads as they were unfamiliar names that the cadets were hearing for the first time. Benio tilted his head as if he could remember the original Benio, but that was not the case.

But it still felt familiar. Benio consoled the agitated cadets and waited for the red-haired Redon to finish speaking.

“In accordance with the purpose of hosting the Academy Exchange Exhibition, we at the Sangwi Academy have decided to participate! So, students from your academy!”

At that moment, Redon’s red hair turned even redder as if it had been covered in blood. At the same time, the energy rising from Redon’s body became more intense.

“Don’t disappoint us!”

Chuck, squeak!

As Redon declared war, dozens of cadets who appeared to be from the Sanguis Academy appeared behind him.

But what was unusual was that all of them were faces I was seeing for the first time. That means they had never been seen before.

Still, it is a mad declaration of war.

However, no one could underestimate them. This was because the spirit of several Sanguis cadets, including Redon, was no less than that of the strongest students in each academy.

“There are that many Auror users?”

Lumen muttered in disbelief next to him. Several of the Sanguis cadets had the aura of an Aura user.

“Bennio, have you seen this?”

“I saw it.”

Benio calmly answered Lumen’s words. Unlike Lumen, who was surprised, Benio did not look surprised. No, rather, Benio was smiling with the corners of his mouth raised.

“Bennio?”

But it wasn’t just an ordinary smile. Benio’s eyes sparkled. Lumen looked at Benio’s smile filled with life, but Benio stared at Sanguis.

“As expected. There was a reason for that familiar feeling. Yes. That’s how it was.”

Benio muttered something that neither Lumen nor Severus could understand. The moment the red-haired Redon drew his strength, Benio noticed the familiar aura.

‘Qi and blood circulation.’

That red hair, and as I raise my energy, the hair becomes even redder as if it’s covered in blood. And most importantly, the pupils turn red.

‘There was a familiar reason. So here too.’

There were traces of the Central Plains. If not for that, those who had the energy of the Blood Cult’s basic art, the Qi and Blood Art, would not have been able to show up in the middle of a great battle.

‘The Reverse Heavenly Sect. Are those damned bastards even there?’

If so, there may be something beyond that.

‘Cheonma Daeje.’

Cheonmasingyo and Yeokcheonhyeolgyo.

The one who unified the two places is none other than the Heavenly Demon Emperor. Since traces of the Blood Cult have been discovered, the Demon Cult may be somewhere. And furthermore, even the Heavenly Demon Emperor.

‘I wonder if I’m not the only one who came.’

Benio raised the corners of his mouth. He was glad to see them. The Blood Cult, which Benio had ultimately targeted as his target for revenge, had made an appearance.

But Benio did not make a hasty judgment.

‘That may not be the case. It may be that they feel similar. Even Dudek’s dwarfs and mines, strictly speaking, were different from the ones I knew.’

We will have to investigate a bit more to find out if there are people like him who came from the Central Plains, or if only the martial arts and magic of the Blood Cult came over.

But even if that wasn’t the case, it didn’t matter.

“Lumen, Severus.”

“huh.”

Even if the Auror users were not good enough, it felt like there were four or five. It was on a whole different level from Jupiter having only two. It meant that all the Auror users from the Academy had to gather together to balance out one Sangwis.

But Benio laughed even harder.

“Do you remember what I said about finishing it within 24 hours?”

“Huh? Right. But….”

Lumen looked back at Benio and made a puzzled expression.

“Those guys showed up and you’re saying you’ll finish it within 24 hours?”

“huh.”

Benio raised the corners of his mouth as he looked at the score of 100,000 floating above the black castle.

“Nothing will change.”

Professor Daimon looked calmly at those surrounding him as if they were interrogating him.

The Prince of Orange, the Duke of Kepler, and the Honorable Valery.

The first one to speak was the impatient Prince of Orange.

“Sanguis? I’ve never heard of such a place.”

“I understand. Sangwis is a new kingdom that emerged three months ago in the eastern part of the Amoria Empire.”

“Eastern Empire?”

The Orange Duke’s eyebrows twitched. The eastern part of the Amoria Empire is a wasteland where humans cannot live. It is a paradise for monsters. And there, the Sword Lord was.

“That’s false. The eastern part of the empire is a wasteland. It’s the first time I’ve heard of a kingdom being established there.”

“Of course. We kept it a secret. This Academy Competition is the Kingdom’s first debut.”

The Orange Prince wiggled his eyebrows as he watched Professor Daimon naturally letting his momentum flow.

‘Strong.’

The Orange Prince was deliberately putting pressure on Professor Daimon by exuding a gentle aura. However, he was not affected by it at all. This means that he was a master who could naturally withstand the Orange Prince’s aura.

“The amount of goods heading east has been increasing slightly since a year ago. Is that what you did?”

“Yes. Aren’t there more than a few materials needed to build a kingdom?”

“No merchant ever came back alive. Later, no one wanted to go, so I heard that merchants who were not registered with any trading company started distributing goods.”

“They are the merchants of our kingdom.”

“Do you know anything about the merchants who didn’t return?”

Duke Kepler’s voice had no highs or lows. Because of this, it was impossible to read his emotions or thoughts at all.

Professor Daimon spoke to Duke Kepler, showing that he cared about his words, unlike when he had spoken to the Duke of Orange.

“As you know, the East is a dangerous place. It’s unfortunate, but I think you might have been hurt by monsters while traveling through the East.”

“I see.”

Duke Kepler did not express his own opinion. He simply responded to Professor Daimon’s explanation and then kept his mouth shut.

‘A difficult one.’

Professor Daimon found the Duke of Kepler more difficult than the Duke of Orange. Unlike the Duke of Orange, who was a man of few words, the Duke of Kepler was a seasoned nobleman with many years of experience.

“The Kingdom of Sanguis.”

Valerie narrowed her eyes and looked down at the place where the battle was taking place. It was the moment when the cadets of Redon and Sanguis were declaring war on the other academies.

“How interesting. A kingdom that borders without the Empire’s permission.”

Valerie’s sharp eyes turned to Daimon. Daimon nodded to Valerie.

“As I said, it has only been three months since the kingdom was founded, so I would like to ask for the Empire’s generosity….”

“You said it yourself, you had been preparing for the founding of the nation for a year in advance?”

Duke Kepler’s words caught him off guard. Professor Daimon shrugged his shoulders as if he was embarrassed.

“I’m sorry. I’m just a professor at the Academy. The official delegation will be dispatched to each country soon, so I think you should hear the details then.”

“The Kingdom of Sanguis. Remember me.”

Valerie turned her head away, as if she didn’t want to deal with Daimon any longer. The Duke of Orange did the same.

He warned Daimon with eyes brimming with life.

“Since a great battle is taking place, we can just let it go for now, but we must hold them accountable for daring to barge in without prior notice. And for injuring the owner of the Welcome Tower.”

Professor Daimon nodded.

Kwaaang!

But then, a loud explosion erupted from the place where the battle was taking place. Then, the heads of those who had been keeping watch and guarding naturally turned toward that place.

But just one.

Meanwhile, Duke Kepler secretly called General Implore and spoke to him.

“Where did the older child go on his way up?”

“This is the eastern part of the empire.”

“….”

A shadow briefly fell over Duke Kepler’s face, but it soon disappeared as if it had been washed away. Then he gave instructions to Inspector-General Implore.

“Mobilize all of the family’s capabilities to track down the eldest immediately.”

“Are you talking about right now?”

“Yes. Let’s assume that the older one might have died and get to the root of it.”

“….”

The eyes of the General Implore widened. However, he soon quietly lowered his head and walked away. Duke Kepler looked in the direction of Professor Daimon with deep eyes before turning away.

The martial arts of Yeokcheonheolgyo were strange and bizarre.

Because of this, he was once publicly branded as a martial artist by the Central Plains martial arts world, but he maintained his strangeness and continued to live on.

There was a reason why the martial arts of the Yeokcheon Blood Sect were so strange and bizarre.

blood.

As the name Blood Cult suggests, Blood Cult becomes stronger through blood. Blood attack was originally a magical attack, so it quickly made those who learned it stronger, but it had many side effects.

It’s normal to lose your mind and go wild when you see blood.

There were those who gained power through blood sucking, and there were also those who wounded others and then brutally tortured them to death with the blood that flowed from there, so it was inevitable that they would become public figures in the martial arts world.

Because of that, Benio knew the weakness of the blood attack very well.

Since he dreamed of revenge against the Heavenly Demon Emperor, it was natural that he would destroy the martial arts of the Demonic Cult and Blood Cult that formed his foundation.

‘Qi-Hyeol-Gong. It is a martial art that stimulates the blood flowing through the body with air power to release explosive power. That is why it is several times more destructive even at the same level.’

Qi-blood attack is a martial art that can produce destructive power even at a low level of basic skills. However, because it literally stimulates the blood inside the body with energy, it carries a high risk of internal injuries.

‘If aerodynamics mixes with the blood flowing to the head, the brain will become tangled.’

Benio held up his wooden sword and kicked the ground. The cadets who saw Benio rushing towards them like a single ray of lightning were startled.

However, Redon sneered bitterly at Benio, who was running towards him, with the corners of his lips curled up.

“Fool.”

Benio was an Aura user. And Redon was also an Aura user. So they could be considered as equals, but Redon, who had mastered the Ki-Hyeol attack, was confident.

This is because I have experienced time and time again that even fellow Aura users cannot beat me.

Redon gripped the greatsword with both hands. Then, an explosive red energy flowed out from Redon. In an instant, Redon’s momentum surpassed that of the Aura user.

But Benio didn’t even blink an eye. Instead, he analyzed Redon, who was taking a jockeying stance toward him.

‘Did you mix something else into the characteristics of the Qi and Blood?’

The Qi-Hyeol-Gong is a martial art of the Blood Sect. Therefore, it can only fully exert its power in other martial arts of the Blood Sect. However, the Blood Sect does not have martial arts that use greatswords.

In other words, it means that something else was mixed into the qi and blood vessels.

‘Then, even if we do that, it’s only about a 30% advantage.’

If it is not the blood sect’s martial arts, even if you use qi and blood techniques, the output will only be about 30% stronger than that of a martial artist of the same level.

Flash!

In that moment, Benio’s new form stretched out. It was spreading out its wings.

“Nonsense! Kyaaaaap!”

Phew!

But Redon caught Benio accurately. Then, as if he had been waiting, he swung his greatsword towards the point where Benio was rushing.

A blow from Redon that Benio could not possibly dodge.

Everyone held their breath and watched the outcome of the match. Then, Benio twisted his body as if dancing and deflected Redon’s greatsword.

Suga gaga gak!

The sharp sound of swords clashing against each other rang out. Looking closely, I saw that it was the sound of Benio sliding his wooden sword against Redon’s greatsword.

And Redon’s upper body is clearly exposed.

Boom!

“Ugh!”

Benio slammed his rock-hard sword into the ground, and Redon fell backwards, dropping his greatsword and rolling on the floor.

chuck.

Benio, who had easily defeated Redon with one blow, went down to the ground and looked at the students of Sanguis and spoke to them.

“What, you told me not to make you bored. Aren’t you being too bland?”

Benio completely destroyed Sangwi’s plan to make a shocking appearance, dominating the atmosphere of the match.
