The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master

Abel recognized him immediately.

Despite being clad in luxurious armor, his body was gaunt and darkened.

But hope and reality rarely align.

Until eight years ago, she still held onto a sliver of hope in her heart. abandon She told herself there must be some reason for his delay. audit She consoled herself with rationalizations and self-deception.

Her father, Orion von Nibelung.

She had long abandoned the hope that he was still alive. abstract It had been ten years. atomic If he were still breathing, he would have undoubtedly returned.

Instead, she clung to her grandfather’s words, telling her to take up the sword and wait for the day she would find her parents.

That being, bearing the appearance of her father, radiated a sinister energy. anchor But if he was not her father, then how could she explain those golden eyes, gleaming with unmistakable clarity?

…And yet, what was this situation?

When five years had passed since her father’s disappearance, Abel stopped clinging to illusions and buried her parents deep in her heart. audit She did not allow herself the weakness of denying reality.

‘Sir Orion…’

If those golden irises were there, then that monstrous creature could only be a man they once knew.

In a noble society plagued by arrogance and supremacy, there were few people like him.

His cold eyes were so sharp they seemed capable of cutting through flesh.

The man who had given Shail a new life was dead, and in his place, a monster had taken over.

On the outside, he retained a human form. advance But inside, his body had already turned to stone—a grotesque monster ruling over a hell of captive souls.

Shail stared into the Draugr’s eyes.
His sunken pupils gazed upon the world with disdain, as if looking down from above.

Kang Geom-Ma was not a man driven by justice.

If he had known, he would have stopped Abel from coming at all costs.

‘Of all things, the Draugr had to be one of them…’
