The Only Swordsman of the Magic Academy - The Only Swordsman of the Magic Academy chapter 36

36 – Promises

*

A wave of monsters is approaching me.

Originally, thousands of monsters that would have covered the village at the same time were running to kill me alone.

Kung. Thud.

I can feel my heart beating wildly.

Of course, it is a scary situation. Because out of the countless creatures that filled my surroundings, the only ones on my side were myself and the sword I had.

You don’t know when you’ll die from a blind attack, and you might collapse from exhaustion before you cut down all the monsters, let alone the demons.

‘Actually, this dungeon is not cleared like this.’

Originally, all you have to do is block it for a while.

No matter how weak he is, does it make sense that the character in the early stages will be dealing with a demon with at least a C-level upper to B-level lower level at the present time?

‘A town that can survive for half a day without me. A dungeon that will end if you help the village and hold out for a day.’

Because I made ridiculous profits, I was able to do that just by scrolling.

Still, there is one reason why I didn’t choose that method.

‘Because I don’t want to let the villagers die.’

This type of dungeon briefly shows the story after I disappeared.

If you block this place like in a defense game, the demons will not die.

After retreating from this place for a while and regaining some strength, he invades the village again, and at that time, he erases the village where I am gone.

That was the only ending to this dungeon I could see, and I haven’t even tried to see any other endings.

‘Because all the characters who engaged in an all-out war with the demons died.’

Even a character with 11 magical, mental, and intellectual talents can’t handle those two demons at this point.

After losing such a precious character so many times, I gave up on seeing other endings in this dungeon, just like when I gave up on Suna.

Since it’s just one of many, many dungeons, I didn’t want to waste my time by being overly immersed in a single game story.

But they were different when I saw them up close.

Although it may be an illusion created by their grudges, they are living their daily lives with sincerity and dreaming of the future.

Now that I’ve seen them like that, I couldn’t really choose the option of giving up on them.

I, the successor of the King of Knights, I, Eden’s disciple, and I, who aim to become a knight, have decided to protect their dreams.

He raised his sword high.

The ‘will not to back down’, which judged the demons watching me as an enemy, supports all my stats. When I used body strengthening there, my body became much lighter.

With his much lighter body, he swung his sword obliquely and slashed the three goblins that approached in front of him at the same time.

“At the height…Eg..?”

Goblins dying without being able to scream properly However, even though I killed 3 goblins at the same time, they don’t care about the corpse of my comrade and they rush at me.

The crimson blood pouring down my face obscured my vision, but I immediately fixed my sword.

‘It is dangerous to stop the sword.’

I swing my sword at the new goblins that run towards me. At the same time, the dying goblin’s deathbed echoed in my ears.

I didn’t care. Since I cut four of them at the same time this time, more blood gushed out than before and it was annoying to wet me, but I couldn’t stop the sword.

I knew that the moment I stopped my sword, an army of monsters that couldn’t even enter my field of vision would cover me. Wield and wield again

In just one second of fighting, overheated creatures die, scattering screams and soaking my body with blood.

I used those screams as a rhythm to set the tempo and continued to swing my sword.

So that my sword could effectively block the enemy’s approach, I continued my sword strikes with the thought that I would never give up this space.

‘That’s what you meant.’

My master told me to wield horizontal, vertical, oblique, and thrusting without thinking separately. That’s understandable now.

Flow. Entrusting my body to the flow, I freely flow all the movements I know. It does not differentiate between horizontal and vertical cuts.

Does not differentiate between vertical and diagonal cuts. Doesn’t differentiate between slashing and stabbing. All of this continues as if it were a single motion, constantly and naturally.

[The proficiency of Eden-ryu swordsmanship increases significantly.]

If you went left, go right; if you went down, go up; if you went up, go down; if you went right, go left. Never let the flow be interrupted.

My sword embroidered innumerable lines toward the world, and innumerable lifeforms perished in each of those lines. I couldn’t even hear the screams they gave out as they stopped breathing.

In this moment, Eden and I were one. As one, we began slashing the next enemy before the blood on our swords dripped to the floor.

The attacks of non-lethal enemies are just met. The flesh was torn and the muscles inside were exposed, but it was okay.

It was a situation I had experienced countless times while training the Huron tribe, and I knew that Infinite Power and the Dragon Slayer would take care of it.

Then, when an attack came that was not supposed to be hit, he concentrated the energy of the stars to block it, and if not, he focused on slashing the enemy with the energy of the sun wrapped around his sword.

I never rested my sword, determined to kill the enemy with one shot. Thinking I’d kill at least one more before one breath was over.

I didn’t let my power flow roughly, but only exactly as much as I needed, and only used the necessary parts, preserving my magic and stamina as much as possible.

I am not invincible even though I have an increase in regenerative ability.

In order to deal with the endlessly swarming monsters, of course, it was necessary to adjust, and since the attack could not be rested, the attack power was saved as much as possible.

My sword, which at first had the power to cut down 10 goblins and barely caught 3 goblins, now cut 3 goblins with the power to cut exactly 3.

It was natural to see where I should swing my sword next, and despite the intense pain that covered my entire body, I continued my line toward that place.

It sets me on fire.

I didn’t have the momentum of a ruler, but I fired a lion’s roar at the enemies, and I felt that the monsters, who must be following the ghosts of the demons, were afraid of me.

Still, the monsters run towards me despite being afraid because they know that if they turn their back on me, they will be killed by the demons.

I ran towards the front. I cut off the head of the troll that was looking at me with the sword containing the energy of the sun, prevented regeneration, and cut the body of the orc who was aiming at the back of the head with a club.

When I was so exhausted from fighting like that that I couldn’t move my arms any more, I brushed the items in my subspace pocket toward the floor.

‘Sword swordsmanship.’

Six of the swords on the floor and five of the swords rise toward the air and start cutting down the enemy.

“Eden… Shares a heart-to-heart union in human form…”

-Okay.

Of course, the effect of Yukchamgoldan is being activated, and sharing this would not be a bad choice, but there was a limit to the load that an ordinary steel sword could withstand.

It would have been much better to protect me by sharing the heart-to-heart meeting and making it unbroken.

In this way, I entrusted all battles to swordsmanship and took a 10-minute break to restore my body to perfect condition before entering the second battle.

‘It’s fortunate that those demons are proud types.’

If the demons attacked, they would drag one of them into a one-on-one duel and try to finish off one first, but it seems that they treat humans as a lower race, so they won’t attack until their subordinates are defeated.

Thanks to that, I managed to deal with all the monsters and the demons clapped for me.

“He’s a pretty good guy for a low race subject.”

“Don’t you want to try it? I think it would suit you really well.”

Sometimes I offer to convert to someone I like, but I didn’t expect to receive it.

“…I killed all of your men?”

“They can be reunited at any time, and you are different.”

“Even if I lose them all, it’s a win if I can get one like you.”

It’s like he really thinks so.

However, even if it was a false world, I had no intention of going under the invaders of the demon realm, and I had to kill them to protect the village anyway.

“I don’t intend to get under the goons, so just go ahead.”

He raised his middle finger and fed him the taffy.

“Sorry. Then just die.”

One of the demons is quickly approaching me. It was about the same as or slightly above the speed at which I did my best. Still, it wasn’t fast enough that I couldn’t use my abilities.

‘One-on-one duel.’

With the effect of the Knight King’s surcoat, he was dragged into an unknown space. A space full of white.

He looked a bit taken aback as if he hadn’t even thought that he would be transported in space even with the demon’s exorcism, but he quickly adapted and poked his sharp claws into my stomach.

I was able to avoid it enough, but I deliberately hit the attack while strengthening my abdomen through the energy of the stars.

“Kuhup…”

Of course, he couldn’t easily block the attack of the upper level of C-class, and his abdomen was pierced to some extent and his hand was stuck. Of course I was aiming for this.

‘Activate…’

To use the scroll reinforced with the medium made from the claws of the albino goblins in case there is ever a chance to fight the demons.

The albino goblin’s claws make the scroll very fast, so the magic on the scroll can be activated while I hold his hand tightly.

‘Divine Chain.’

It is a divine magic used to temporarily restrain monsters, but it was a magic that had a great effect on demons.

“Aiming for this…?”

“Okay. Otherwise, would you just hit that slow attack?”

I cut off his head right away without giving him a chance. That’s how the effect of the one-on-one duel ended, and his corpse and my body appeared in the original space.

“Nathan!”

I wonder if that demon’s name was Nathan? Another Demon tribe screaming while looking at the fallen comrade’s neck and the wounded me.

From noble mtl dot com

Now, there are no scrolls left, and a one-on-one confrontation with him. Besides, no matter how good their regeneration ability is, there is no way they can fight properly with a half-hole in their abdomen.

Perhaps he made that decision as well, so he rushed at me without wasting any more time. His fist aiming for my heart.

And I didn’t avoid it this time either, and welcomed it.

“Cool…”

“Nathan… Got revenge.”

My heart completely explodes and my body loses strength.

He pulls his fist out of his heart and turns to check the body of his comrade. It was normal for a human to lose consciousness and die, but… I didn’t die.

“Damn. He’s not dead.”

I pierced the heart of an unwary guy with Eden containing the energy of the sun before he could look back.

“How…How…?”

If you explain that the descendant of the King of Knights has the ability to avoid death, what will this guy know?

“Just die.”

As soon as he returned what he had said earlier, he lowered his sword and killed him.

Unlike him, he didn’t let his guard down and cut his body several times until his death was confirmed.

“It’s done…”

Looking to the side, I see a village that has not suffered any damage. As the sun rose, I could vaguely see people trying to resume their daily lives.

It was only then that I realized it.

That I kept my promise to the girl.
