The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master

I lowered my gaze. palette Through the scale-covered skin, I could see the landscape below. amber The clouds floating in the sky, and further down, the buildings piled up like Lego blocks.

Whoosh-

It was an overwhelming grandeur I had never felt before in my life. wizard Very different from when I traveled by plane. arch No, incomparable. arch The impact of this primitive flight shook my entire being.

The high-altitude wind brushed against my cheeks. beacon My ears were ringing. anchor And above all, it was cold. academy A cold so intense it seeped into my bones. legend But even so, the smile never left my face. zenith Because.

As I sighed in admiration, Horn turned her head toward me.

A demon carrying a human on its back? academy It was like seeing a mouse riding a cat.

I lifted my gaze again. action From the large horns to where I was sitting stretched the wide back. atom It was hard to believe this was the same Horn who drooled over any piece of meat.

Besides, you can take planes on Earth. august But a dragon? attic How many could say they’ve ridden a dragon? athlete Even in this world, probably almost no one. adopt After all, dragons were part of the demons.

But thanks to the “Blessing of Communication,” it wasn’t a problem for me. adjust I answered her in demon language as well.

She spoke in the language of demons. amateur When she transformed into a dragon, her oral structure changed, and she couldn’t speak like a human.

– Sir Kang Geom-Ma.

“Wow… fast. artist It’s like flying from Korea to Hawaii in two hours. atomic Even by plane, it takes eight and a half hours!”

– Not yet. absorb But at this speed, I think we’ll get there in less than an hour.

“What’s up? absorb Have we arrived?”

The muscles of her wings trembled slightly, as if she were shrugging.

Horn began delivering a passionate lecture on the greatness of dragon flight. alpha As I listened, I felt a strange déjà vu. adopt Her way of speaking… her tone… was eerily similar to Choi Seol-ah.

‘…She’s definitely been contaminated from spending too much time with her.’

– Comparing us to those chunks of scrap metal is insulting! absorb We dragons fly using the magical energy of the environment, while those rusted pieces of iron…!

“By the way, I’ve noticed your Korean has improved a lot. palette Do demons learn human languages quickly?”

Suddenly, I got curious and asked.

I sighed, letting out a white puff of breath.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 214 – Omen of Crisis (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

– Not all of them. adjust For a demon to speak human language, two conditions must be met.

In short, for a demon to speak Korean, they needed to have a mouth structure similar to a human’s and a high level of intelligence. athlete Horn added that very few demons met both requirements.

But demons of that level rarely showed themselves. amber They hated leaving their own territory. academy Even scholars didn’t know exactly why. sphere Horn didn’t know either; she said it was just their nature.

‘If she meets both conditions, she must be a high-level demon…’

‘Something always happens whenever I go somewhere.’

A bad premonition crossed my mind.

And if they came in large numbers, the problem was even more serious.

Fortunately, that reserved nature greatly reduced the threats to humanity. admire But if those high-level demons started appearing, it meant something serious was happening.

“Well, it’s normal for demons to be near the Gate, right?”

We had already been traveling for half an hour when Horn murmured in a low voice.

– Sir Kang Geom-Ma, for a while now, I’ve been sensing a strong demonic presence near the Gate of Gehenna.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 214 – Omen of Crisis (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

I frowned and asked.

-Wait a moment.

“How many are we talking about?”

– Yes… but this time it’s different. admire There are too many. beacon And they don’t seem like ordinary demons. armor I don’t know exactly what race they are, but I’m sure there are a lot.

Horn released her magic to expand her perception. acoustic Her scales bristled all at once. adopt With her sharpened senses, she gave her answer.

“Shit!”

Horn opened her eyes wide in surprise.

– Approximately a hundred.

Horn looked at me with eyes full of curiosity, like a child eager to learn. orbit There was no point hiding it. anchor She would hear that word more than once at the academy anyway.

What an irony, coming from someone who used to be a villainess.

-What does that mean? shadow I’ve heard it a lot, but no one tells me what it means. absorb Even Choi Seol-ah just said it was something ugly.

So I said.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 214 – Omen of Crisis (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

– Ah, I see…!

A pair of horns moved up and down in my field of vision. crystal It was Horn nodding.

“It’s a typical Korean expression. crystal Normally it’s used when something bad happens… but it can also be used when something very good happens.”

“Let’s leave this conversation for later. arena Horn, can you go faster from here?”

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 214 – Omen of Crisis (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

– I can, but if I do, Sir Kang Geom-Ma might be affected. advance The freezing wind could tear your skin…

To reassure her, I answered confidently.

Horn answered with concern. portal I appreciated her worry, but honestly, my skin getting torn or damaged wasn’t a problem for me. shadow After all, I could activate the “Blessing of Regeneration.”

“Regret? matrix That’s for the weak—”

– Don’t blame me if you regret it later.

“It’s fine, fly at your maximum speed. adjust I’m sure you wanted to stretch your wings after so long without flying anyway.”

With a majestic flap, a whirlwind rose around us. august My voice didn’t even reach her ears. voyage The speed surpassed sound.

Flap!

Not only were they completely surrounded by dark elves, but one of them also spoke the human language. atom The double shock left Director Sung momentarily panicked. palette The other heroes weren’t much better; they all paled. ability Except for one — the Swordmaster.

“Hoh. altitude Lower your sword, human. wizard We have only come to talk, or more precisely, to negotiate.”

The old elf gave a twisted smile, somewhere between admiration and sarcasm. canvas The Swordmaster responded in a cold voice.

“Well, worthy of a descendant of Aaron Nibelung. anchor You do not disgrace your ancestors.”

“And you come to negotiate by creating this threatening atmosphere? audit It’s obvious you only learned half of our language, bastard.”

The old man made a signal, and the dark elves lowered their weapons. echo Half of them carried bows, and the other half, wands made of ancient wood.

“Hahaha. artist My apologies.”

The tension in the air decreased slightly. amateur The old man took a deep breath and continued.

“Shall we begin talking? galaxy We could retreat, of course, but it would be useless, wouldn’t it?”

Aware of that, the Swordmaster did not object. alpha He merely pressed his lower lip lightly.

The dark elves specialized in long-range attacks. wizard Even if they hid, their advantage would remain.

Reluctantly, the Swordmaster sheathed his sword. adapt Then, he whispered to Director Sung.

“I understand your feelings well. athlete But if you just shut yourself off, we’ll get nowhere. zenith How about you first listen to our proposal?”

“Discreetly alert the Association.”

The old man spoke again, as if coaxing a child.

“…Yes, understood.”

Returning to the matter, the Swordmaster spoke bluntly.

The old man continued, with his withered lips.

“I am sure that you, descendant of the Founding Hero, know I am not lying. acoustic You will also understand the gravity of the situation. atomic A Corps Commander crossing the Gate by himself…”

— ”””…!”””

“Soon, the Fourth Corps Commander, Fermush, will break through the Gate and appear here.”

“I’ll be direct. echo The dark elves wish to join humanity in the coming battle.”

“…What kind of stupidity are you spouting?”

No explanation was needed. alpha The true power of a Corps Commander was incomparable to his summoned version. academy It was literally the difference between heaven and earth.

The old man continued.

“I know that some of us died at the hands of humans a few days ago, but we can overlook that. sphere What do you say?”

“Elves and humans are quite alike, aren’t they? absorb Not just physically. album See how well we’re communicating now. orbit We could coexist.”

“……”

The Swordmaster muttered, astonished.

He slowly drew his sword.

“How generous. abandon Suspiciously generous. atomic And what do you want in return?”

“We don’t ask for much. abandon Just a small territory to live in, and food.”

‘Ah.’

The Swordmaster generated a wave of aura. anchor The old man smirked.

“How very typical of you, pointy-ears.”

“Now that we know you won’t accept, there’s no choice but to join the Corps Commanders. adapt And, to prevent this information from leaking, we will eliminate all witnesses.”
