I Became a Genius at Gigant Academy - Episode 127

127fury

Each time the sword was swung, a red trace was drawn..

It felt like I was wielding a brush full of red paint..

The green landscape was dyed red by the movement of the brush..

-Whoop.

I heard someone's heavy breathing.

It was the sound of Luke's breathing, slightly outside the boundary of the shield..

Even if you are riding a gigant, you cannot completely block the penetrating heat. The inside is probably no different from a steam room..

But there was no reason for Abel to care about Luke's suffering..

‘You have a lot of pride.’

Even though he deployed his defense shield, it was Luke himself who kept his distance because he didn't want to receive help..

It was a stubbornness that made me think it was amazing..

-Abel, is your magic power okay??

Cawl, who was also out of range of the shield, asked a question..

Unlike Luke, his voice was very calm..

There was a difference in the gigants, but the difference in rider capabilities was even greater..

Once you get to the level of Cowl, you will be able to keep your body temperature constant with just your magic power..

Abel responded by continuing to swing his sword..

-I can't help it.

By the end of the last battle, my magic power had almost fully recovered, so I had plenty of room to spare..

At the same speed as now, I could swing the sword for another hour..

-Then please give me 10 more minutes..

-yes.

Abel followed Kaul's orders and set fire to the surrounding area without stopping..

However, before the 10 minutes that Kaul said had passed, a noticeable change occurred..

-I don't see the mark.

It was almost time to arrive at the original location, but there was not a single tree with the mark in sight..

Kaul looked around and said.

-I guess I'm slowly reaching a limit to maintaining my abilities. Abel. You can stop now. From now on, we have to move quickly. If there is any tree that moves at all, please tell me..

Cawl said this and increased his walking speed. He was practically running at speed..

Everyone followed him eagerly and looked at the surrounding trees..

Before a few minutes had passed, Cawl pointed to one side and said,.

-There it is!

Abel reflexively moved his gaze and discovered a tree that was tilting and moving..

Originally, the Maze Tree was thoroughly disguised as a tree, but it seemed to be in a hurry as its body caught fire..

-You guys deal with it among yourselves. However, it must be approached cautiously..

Instead of attacking directly, Cawl gave orders to his cadets..

-I will handle it!

Then Luke ran forward..

I couldn't tell if it was an opportunity to make a mark or to escape the heat, but the movement itself was still great..

Because he closed the distance in an instant and the sword he raised was sufficiently threatening..

The Maze Tree looked like it would be cut in two by the sword at any moment..

-for a moment!

At that time, Cawl shouted in a loud voice. And right after that.

Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!

The tree, which had been standing still, suddenly moved like a whip and struck Luke's plane..

The Maze Tree was not just one tree..

“Tsk.”

Abel clicked his tongue..

Anyone who took the class knew that maize trees usually move in groups of two or three..

-We also approach!

Abel shouted loudly and went forward, swinging his sword engulfed in flames..

I don't really like Luke, but I couldn't leave him like that..

Wow!!

Fortunately, the other cadets quickly did what they had to do..

Cynthia immediately took out an arrow and aimed it at the fleeing Maze Tree, while Daniel held a spear and followed closely behind Abel..

Hehehey profit!

As he got closer, the Maze Tree that had struck Luke swung its branches threateningly..

However, if he approached me without knowing it like Luke did, I knew of its existence, so there was no reason to deal with it..

Kwasik!

Abel cut down the branch of the Maze Tree that was targeting him with his sword..

The Maze Tree trembled in pain..

-Daniel! please!

-huh!

Abel left the guy to Daniel behind him and chased after the guy who was running away quickly..

If you miss it like this, that guy will settle down somewhere else and try to make trouble for you again..

Ssssssssssssssssssssssss!

At that time, a flaming arrow flew out from behind Abel's back and struck the fleeing man's body..

As the flames penetrated her body, Maze Tree's movements slowed noticeably..

Thanks to this, Abel was able to close the distance in an instant, jumped up high, and slashed with his sword..

Kwa-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-gag-!

The sword split the Maze Tree from top to bottom..

It is a tough entity that can continue to regenerate as long as its body is intact, but it cannot demonstrate regenerative power even when its body is split in half..

The Maze Tree was split in half, writhing, then falling limp..

Its appearance was not much different from an ordinary tree..

Quad Deuk!

Not long after Abel took down one, Daniel took down the Maze Tree from behind..

It seemed to have focused its attack on the middle part of the body, made a hole, and then ripped that part off..

Boom, boom.

Right after defeating both of them. Luke, who had been thrown away, quietly returned..

he was speechless.

Cawl watched the scene for a moment and then came over and opened his mouth after confirming that Maze Tree was dead..

-It was a clean attack. every. and luke.

-……yes.

-There is a difference between bravery and recklessness. keep that in mind.

-yes. sorry.

That was the end of the evaluation..

Cawl said as he saw the flames still not losing their momentum..

-I guess I'll have to put out the fire first and then track down the others. wait.

The fire didn't spread as widely as expected..

It kept going round and round in a narrow space due to the Maze Tree, but in reality it was a short distance..

Cawl began to move and suppress the flames himself..

I didn't use any unusual method..

Kwazisig!

I just walked around quickly, swinging my sword and stamping on it to put out the flames..

After completely suppressing the flames, Cawl spoke in a calm voice..

-We will continue to track.

*       *       *

After subduing the Maze Tree, the chase went smoothly..

All you had to do was just follow the footprints and move on..

Since the gap had already been narrowed to begin with, we were able to detect the existence of the Colossus fragments after about 40 minutes..

-Hmm.

Cawl stood on a slightly sloping slope and looked down..

There, the fragments of the giant they were chasing were gathered there..

Two iron borers and one spike.

That was enough power to deal with, but the problem was other beings..

‘Gathered around the giant.’

A giant that looked like a rock golem was lying right near the fragments of the giant that was being chased, and there were fragments of other giants around it..

From the looks of it, it seemed like he didn't just run away, but desperately moved towards the nearby giant..

Cawl spoke to the others with his voice output as low as possible..

-This is not an established theory, but there is a story that fragments of the Titan can instinctively sense the presence of the Titan..

Cawl continued his explanation, pointing to the colossus and its fragments..

-This is because there are many cases where the fragments of a titan gather on a titan from a distance that cannot be seen..

The cadets only nodded at those words..

The relationship between the Titan and its fragments was still largely shrouded in mystery..

This is because there are limits to what can be confirmed through experiments..

‘Because the fragments of the captured giant are very different from their condition in the wild..’

The instinct to return to the Colossus that Cawl mentioned was also like that..

This has certainly been seen several times in the wild..

However, the fragments of the captured giant did not show that appearance at all..

It was the same even when I released the one I caught on purpose..

After giving a brief explanation, Cawl slowly raised his sword..

-Since the number of titanic fragments that can be seen right now exceeds twenty, I believe that at that rate, most of the people scattered around the area would have gathered together. in other words.

Cawl said.

-This means that if you just take care of those guys, the mission is complete. Do you understand??

-yes.

Kaul nodded at everyone's answers and opened his mouth again..

-I'll deal with the giant, so you guys take care of the rest. If someone gets seriously hurt, it's definitely the lowest point..

As soon as Cowl said that, he immediately kicked the ground..

Cooung!

When Gigant appeared with a loud noise, the resting Colossus and its fragments immediately responded..

In particular, the giant rushed at Cawl with agile movements that were unbecoming of its gigantic size..

Kwaaaaang!

Cawl's sword and Colossus's fist clashed..

And with that sound as a signal, the other cadets also ran down the slope..

Colossus saw the cadets who showed up a beat late and tried to move, but there was no way Cawl would let that happen..

-your opponent is me!

Cowl shouted loudly and began to push the giant using his unique acceleration ability..

Thanks to this, the cadets were able to easily pass by the colossus and approach the fragments located behind it..

“Kuwoeoeook!”

The first to attack the cadets were the iron borers..

In addition to the two they were chasing, there were three more, and the sight of the five of them rushing together was quite threatening..

Kwaang!

But instead of stopping, Abel jumped up high..

Because the road sloped downward, I was able to easily jump over the iron bore just by running as hard as I could..

The Iron Boars were embarrassed by the Gigant that passed over their heads, but they could not turn around..

-Ahhhhh!

This was because other cadets rushed in and brandished their weapons..

Thanks to this, Abel was able to land in the middle of the enemy lines without any hindrance..

“Sooooo!”

As soon as he landed, the surrounding debris rushed towards Abel..

Abel immediately activated the blessing of the wind..

Shhh profit-!

With a harsh sound, Abel's aircraft moved forward at high speed..

The arms of the fragments that were trying to attack Abel split the empty air..

On the other hand, Abel stabbed his sword at another fragment in the back that was standing defenseless..

Quad deuk!

With no time to escape, the sword was stuck in the enemy's neck..

Sigh.!

Abel, who had completely cut off his neck with such force, lowered his body and activated the Guardian's Shield at maximum strength..

Kagagak-!

The blade tail's attack, which attempted to sneak up and attack, was blocked by the shield and bounced back..

Abel straightened his lowered body and slashed from bottom to top with his sword..

Hwiii profit!

The blade's tail narrowly avoided the attack and the sword split the air..

The guy looked like he was laughing at Abel and tried to swing his tail again..

Kwasik!

Abel's sword, which had missed, was bent and moved again in the same trajectory..

A double attack was activated..

The blade tail could not react in time to the unexpected attack..

Kwasik!

The sword cut off the thick neck of the blade's tail..

‘more!’

Abel didn't stop there..

He knew that the more he went as wild as possible, the safer others would be, and more than anything, it was a quest that was at stake..

bang!

Abel's body, which hit the ground, became blurred and elongated..

Abel, who moved at high speed to the location of another shadow through the shadow staff, delivered a powerful blow and tore apart another body of fragments..

-Wow…….

-That crazy……!

That sight was enough to make the other cadets who were fighting exclaim in exclamation..

Abel's performance in the previous battle was outstanding, but his appearance now was truly on a different level..

It was like seeing a wolf among a flock of sheep..

-more! more!

Abel swung his sword again and again while listening to Rufus' cheers..

But then.

Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!

Suddenly, part of the ground exploded and fragments of the giant came out..

The person who appeared there was Digger, who had suddenly appeared in the previous battle and embarrassed many people..

There was quite a distance between Abel and the other cadets who were deep inside enemy territory..

But Abel was not dismayed..

“It was still a shame.”

Rather, he smiled happily.

Shut up-.

A flame was created from the sword..

A flame burning hotter than ever.
