The Academy’s Savage Swordsman

11. savage

An unknown savage stands in my way. Kyle swung his sword like he had before. Most of the savages died lightly with just this, but this time it was not the case.

“Uh-ha-! Excellent warrior!”

“… … to come?”

The savage I met this time was a warrior who knew how to infuse aura into his weapon, just like Kyle himself. A master of what people call an aura expert.

As usual with masters of this level, it was an existence that could not easily be overcome with just one or two swords.

The level of victory or defeat depends on how deep the training you have accumulated over the years. And Kyle could confidently say that he was second to no one in training.

“Clarify your name!”

“… … .”

At the barbarian’s words, Kyle swung his sword without answering. It was an act that could be considered dishonorable, but the barbarian was even more pleased with how it was accepted.

“yes! right! The old warrior is the way to communicate with iron!”

Saying that, the nameless savage swung an axe. The ax imbued with an aura created intense sparks whenever it collided with the sword.

It was enough to attract everyone’s attention with just that spark—— Kyle instinctively realized that this fight wouldn’t last long.

‘There are wizards like archers and dukes on the wall, so I won’t be pushed unilaterally… … .’

Whether it was arrows or magic, it was an object that worked only when soldiers and knights on the front line stopped the barbarians.

If the barbarians who massacred the soldiers climbed up the wall, even the high walls and arrows and magic were of no use.

And— now that he had come down the ramparts, there was a possibility of being surrounded and attacked by barbarians if he procrastinated for a long time.

“hahahahaha-!”

“… … Whoa.”

Confronting the savage who burst into laughter as if he were having fun, Kyle also smiled. The aura that filled his body raced through his muscles and nerves, and even permeated his weapons and armor.

Two aura-enhanced warriors face off.

Strikes with swords, slashes, armors and gauntlets, fists and kicks, headbutts with helmets. The savages were pressed with all available means.

Surprisingly, the savage was more skilled at this kind of fight than Kyle, who had learned swordsmanship and wrestling professionally. As such, actual combat was not something that could be perfected simply by learning swordsmanship and wrestling.

‘I can’t do it like this.’

Realizing that time was dragging on, Kyle threw the gambler. He brought his body towards the ax that was striking him.

Believing that he would be able to block at least one blow from an ax if his whole body was filled with auras, Kyle threw himself out as if he were throwing himself, and quickly shrugged his shoulders.

Aiming at the top of his head, he receives the ax that flies ferociously with his shoulder armor, and stabs deeply into the revealed gap.

Pooh-! The sword that pierced the barbarian’s abdomen was swung as if it were cutting it out.

The barbarian’s upper body, which had been smiling until just before, was cut in half and burst into a fountain of blood.

“—Gerald?”

In the distance, I hear the exclamation of another savage who saw the savage die. After casually brushing off the blood on his sword, Kyle aimed it at the savage staring blankly at the corpse.

After seeing the death of his comrade, the savage shuddered and ran toward Kyle screaming madly.

Quaang- Quaang-! Explosive sounds erupted from the feet of the savage running on the snowy field, and the new type of savage arrived in front of Kyle in an instant.

“You son of a bitch!”

The savage’s anger flowed down, and that anger was shaped into the bones of an unknown monster. The savage, holding a long bone in one hand, hit the bone hard like a blunt weapon, and Kyle, who grabbed the bone with both hands as if shedding it, felt his knees bend naturally.

‘what… !’

“Shut up, run away!”

The savage did not stop there and continued to fire a series of attacks. He swung his bones without even breathing properly, as if he didn’t even know he was tired.

Kyle realized that every time he caught a bone from a savage swing, it tingled beyond his muscles to his bones. It was hard to believe, but he even found out that the savage’s strength exceeded his own.

‘Does this make sense?’

In an instant, a considerable amount of sway came rushing in. No matter how little my body has grown, it is a body that I have grown for close to 10 years. He systematically trained his body every day and endured the pain of breaking his bones every time.

But these savages, who seemed to have never called it exercise, and who would have been just playing in the wild, jumped over it lightly? No matter how different races differ in muscle mass—isn’t this too much?

“How dare you treat Gerald—!”

While thinking that Kyle couldn’t overcome him by force, the savage was still singing his anger.

Sweet-! After shedding the fiercely flying bone, Kyle read his next move and cut off his combo.

In an instant, a stupid sound flowed from the mouth of the savage who had been beaten on the wrist and missed the bone.

“uh?”

The savage who lost his weapon swung his fist straight away as if he would fight with his bare hands, but even so, the sword was longer than the fist.

At this time, there was no need to wield a strong sword to overcome the barbarian’s power. When the blade was set at an appropriate angle, the savage’s fist was cut in half.

“—How nice it would be if everything could be solved with only strength.”

Saying that, Kyle cut off the savage’s head. He had natural strength, but he neglected training because of it.

Rather, Gerald was a more tense and dangerous opponent. It was because he believed in the skills he had honed and polished, not his innate strength.

You cannot survive simply by being fast and strong.

You cannot survive simply by learning skills.

The harmony between the body and technology was important.

And—

‘Okay.’

Kyle looked down at the sword I was holding. It’s been 10 years since I was blocked by the Aura Expert’s wall. I wondered if there was such a thing as a master’s wall, but I started to get a sense of it to some extent after only one actual battle.

I realized why the Aura Master was called the Sword Star, and the correlation between the Aura and the sword, which seemed completely unrelated.

‘It’s good that I came to experience the real battle.’

If he had stayed in the territory, wielded a sword alone, and continued undying sparring with the knights—— he would not have attained this realization.

The master’s wall must have felt even more distant.

“—Who is next?”

Kyle said and moved forward. He felt the savages feel his momentum and wince. The wire, which had only been recklessly pushed, moved forward little by little.

Kyle grinned and tried to charge at the savages. I would have if it hadn’t been for the tremendous amount of energy I felt above me.

“—!?”

Kyle looked up at the sky in amazement, only then did he realize the true nature of the energy he felt in the sky.

There was an iceberg large enough to block the sky.

The iceberg flew straight towards the savages. Just like the catapult, the ice mass was enough to wipe out the savages in its aftermath.

Watching the icy iceberg disappear after wiping out the barbarians, Kyle exclaimed in exclamation at the power of magic.

“—Why are you here?”

Then, a voice came from above the castle wall, and Kyle cautiously lowered his head. The owner of the voice jumped down the wall and landed in front of Kyle.

Master of the North and wizard of the Six Stars.

Duke Walter Grace looked at Kyle and asked.

“Kyle Meyer.”

“Long time no see. Your Excellency the Duke.”

“Why are you here?”

“I ran away.”

“It’s a runaway.”

The duke let out a laugh as if it were absurd, and pursed his lips as if he had a lot to say. But as if he thought it was ridiculous to talk to Kyle, who wasn’t even his own son, he immediately shook his head and looked at him.

“done. go up Even the savages will retreat at this level—”

——I found it!

And at that moment, a loud voice resounded from the barbarian territory far away. Hearing that voice that resonated widely, the duke immediately turned his head in the direction the voice had come from.

At the same time as Kyle turned his head belatedly following the duke- a spear flew in front of the duke, unknown from where on earth it came from.

Clink-!

“Keuuugh-!?”

The several layers of magic barriers protecting the duke were shattered in an instant, and the duke flew dozens of steps backwards. Kyle didn’t want to look at the duke, but looked at the place where the spear flew from in the distance.

something was flying I thought something long like a spear was flying, but if I looked closely, I could see that it was not a spear.

that was a person A person who runs at an inexhaustible speed. The rest came running at such a high speed that it even looked like a spear.

The moment he recognized him, Kyle reflexively swung his sword. However, his gaze did not intend to leave the duke.

The aura-laden sword could not be ignored, but he made the impossible possible. To be precise, the sword he was holding made that possible.

Slow-! Kyle’s sword was snipped in half. There was only one power in this world that could cut through the sword filled with aura.

Aura Blade.

The authority of the Aura Master.

The power to cut through everything in the world with a single sword.

“You finally showed up! Peacock!”

“—You damn bastard.”

The greatest warrior who rules over all barbarians.

Great warrior Chantalka appeared in front of the two.
