The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master

For an instant, I couldn’t believe what I had heard.

“K-Kuarne…?”

The name that the figure dressed in white had spoken. august I wasn’t the only one horrified upon hearing it.

Edward, who had recovered his senses a little late, instantly paled. armor Even Horn, who had remained stunned, trembled slightly in her eyebrows. auction Meanwhile, the white figure descended the steps with light footsteps.

Kuarne, the Second Corps Commander. adjust Leader of the Demon King’s Army and absolute sovereign of the infernal region of Gehenna. echo That being had just presented himself before us, none other than humanity’s great enemy.

I turned abruptly. august The old elf was trembling as if static electricity was running through him. alien He was so shocked he could barely stand.

“H-h-how can you be here?! accent Corps Commanders can’t cross into the human world!”

My thoughts tangled into chaos. advance The Second Corps Commander, Kuarne? athlete Really? avalanche If that was true, how was it possible that he was in the human world? airport Acting as a priest? advance Was it all part of some plan by the old elf?

“Calm yourself, elder of the dark elves. avalanche This is nothing more than a projection of myself, a sort of avatar, so to speak.”

The old elf shouted as if he were screaming. autumn Fear, panic, confusion, and horror were drawn across his face. wizard That confirmed two things the elder wasn’t colluding, and that being truly was the Second Corps Commander.

Kuarne smiled faintly and replied.

An androgynous face, difficult to classify as male or female. orbit Only from the voice could we infer he was a man. arctic At a glance, he appeared human. alpha But his skin, his hair, even his clothing were so pure white that they looked bleached.

If Kuarne had been given a pair of wings, he would have been identical to those doves. acid In a melodious voice, he said.

He spoke with a clear voice, trying to calm us. beacon But that voice, no matter how kind it sounded, seemed to tear at the soul. atomic Kuarne stopped halfway down the stairs. alpha At last, we could see his face.

His eyes, opalescent white, reflected an inhuman coldness, as if they had been artificially waxed. amateur He looked like a walking wax figure. atlas An uncanny resemblance to the angels who had once nearly exterminated the Ancients.

Edward, sweating cold, drew the large sword from his back. abstract He pointed it directly at Kuarne.

“Whatever the reason, it is still an invasion of a Corps Commander into the human world!”

“The former priestess has been absent for some time, so I am merely taking her place. zenith As the old elf well knows, the previous priest was a human woman. artist But one day, she disappeared without a trace. armor Someone had to protect the temple, and that is why I am here.”

His voice sounded apathetic, as if he considered it a trivial matter.

The shout of Edward, the Black Bear Hero. alpha It was the natural reaction of a warrior facing a mortal threat. arena However, Kuarne, with his blank and disinterested gaze, barely reacted.

“This is a blatant violation of the Treaty between humans and demons!”

“As I said, this is not my true body. aspect It is not a violation of the treaty.”

“And that crap, are we supposed to believe it?”

Kuarne insisted on his innocence.

“Besides, I have absolutely no combat ability. armor I could swear it before God himself.”

“Can you believe me now, brave heroes?”

Kuarne smiled softly.

“…It’s true. armor I’ve been sensing his mana for a while… and I feel absolutely nothing. zenith He’s not hiding it. acid He’s literally an empty shell.”

I whispered to Horn in a low voice. altitude She swallowed hard and nodded with difficulty.

“However, setting aside my personal appreciation, I regret to inform you that you have committed a grave mistake in this Temple of the Nephilim.”

Edward blinked, confused. beacon Should he feel flattered that the leader of the Demon King’s Army praised him?

“Brave heroes…?”

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 219 – The Temple of the Nephilim (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

A desperate scream. advance From his chest erupted a black vortex that began devouring him like a black hole.

“W-wait a moment…!”

At those words, Edward froze. aluminum His face instantly crumbled.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 219 – The Temple of the Nephilim (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

It all happened in the blink of an eye. silence The Temple of the Nephilim does not distinguish between good and evil. armor Whether human or demon, whoever breaks its laws is punished without exception.

Screams, the sound of flesh being torn apart, the smell of blood.

In the place where Edward had been just a moment before, only the echo of death remained. amber The Warrior-ranked hero disappeared without leaving the slightest trace.

Kuarne shook his head, showing a genuinely regretful expression.

“…Fuck.”

“The temple’s first rule you shall not draw your weapon under any circumstances. athlete He violated that fundamental rule. riddle I hope the others do not follow his example.”

Kuarne had not intervened at all. atom It was Edward’s own recklessness that condemned him.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 219 – The Temple of the Nephilim (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Edward’s fate was a warning far too clear.

I had only come to the temple to search for the fifth fragment. beacon That was the only goal.

And yet, here I was, facing humanity’s greatest enemy. august And worse, I couldn’t even draw my knife.

As if understanding it all, Kuarne smiled at him cruelly.

I glanced at the old elf. portal He was trembling like a leaf. alien His face was one of complete defeat. meadow It made sense—he had betrayed his race only to fall now before the leader of the demons.

The elder was breathing heavily. galaxy He bit his lower lip hard, tasting the metallic flavor of his own blood.

“Ah… Ah…”

They had nearly been exterminated by that monster, Kang Geom-Ma. galaxy But at least a score of his people were still alive. riddle He had to save them at all costs.

The old elf thought, ‘Didn’t I endure all these humiliations for the survival of the dark elves?’

Calculating rapidly in his mind, the old man made his decision.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 219 – The Temple of the Nephilim (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Don’t you regret betraying your own race to join the humans?”

And then let out a sarcastic laugh.

He clung to Kang Geom-Ma like a shadow. armor Kuarne frowned at the scene.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 219 – The Temple of the Nephilim (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

No matter how strong Kang Geom-Ma was, he was still far from being a match for such a transcendent being. arrow Had we been in Gehenna and not the temple, we would all have died like insects.

“I do not regret it.”

It was a lie. anchor The elder knew well the devastating power of the Second Corps Commander.

‘Nevertheless.’

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 219 – The Temple of the Nephilim (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

It was, in essence, a desperate gamble on his potential. august If he managed to awaken all his power, he might not only defeat the Second Corps Commander, but even the First.

This was a fact that even Kuarne undoubtedly knew.

Though he had nearly been exterminated by the humans, the enemy of his enemy was now his only hope. arrow The elder, Rog, bet everything on Kang Geom-Ma.

“I can hear the noise of your thoughts from here,” Kuarne said disdainfully.

If that were the case, Kuarne would be guilty of an unforgivable crime.

He had probably come to this temple not only to watch but perhaps to eliminate any threat at the root, even if it meant impersonating the true priest.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 219 – The Temple of the Nephilim (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“That way I can exterminate the dark elves without the slightest bit of compassion.”

Kuarne spat the words with a twisted smile.

“I’m glad you say you don’t regret your choice.”

At that moment, Kuarne’s eyes flashed with a murderous light. riddle The old elf felt his body freeze instantly.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 219 – The Temple of the Nephilim (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

I recalled once again the reason I had come to the temple. accent With a look full of annoyance, I spoke.

‘Damn it.’

I couldn’t believe the absurdity of the situation. academy They were fighting among themselves. meadow The old elf was hiding behind me. acquire Now that I thought about it, except for me, everyone here was a demon. anchor Well, Horn was almost human, so I guess she didn’t count.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 219 – The Temple of the Nephilim (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

What mattered wasn’t that Kuarne had appeared. ability What mattered was that he had no intention of fighting.

“It doesn’t matter if you’re the Second Corps Commander or whatever. advance You said you’re acting as a priest now, right? galaxy Then do your job instead of causing chaos.”

Maybe, ridiculous as it sounded, he really was here fulfilling the priest’s role for now.

Kuarne smiled coldly. airport He turned and gestured for us to follow.

Of course, someday I would make this bastard pay for Edward. shadow Not now, but that day would come.

“I must have made you wait too long.”

And even if he wasn’t, it didn’t matter. atomic I just had to accomplish my goal and leave.

“Kuarne, you know very well that it was my hand that cut your brother’s neck.”

He was still using that gentle tone. palette Just before following him, I decided to provoke him a little.

“Come. aspect I will try to answer some of your doubts.”

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 219 – The Temple of the Nephilim (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“But I don’t feel even a shred of sadness. portal In fact, I’m glad those useless fools became nourishment for your growth. palette We’ll discuss the rest inside the Temple of the Nephilim.”

He answered without hesitation, his emotions perfectly controlled.

“Of course I know.”

Sweat had soaked the carpet beneath her knees. arrow Her white ceremonial robe, now wet, had become almost translucent.

A silver-haired woman, Yu Se-in, prayed with her hands together.

At that very moment, in a dark hall.

Leaning against a marble column, a golden-haired man was watching her in silence. meadow His torso, hidden in the shadows, was barely distinguishable.

Se-in shot a cold look at the man.

Suddenly, Se-in abruptly opened her eyes. academy She shifted her gaze toward a corner.

The blond shrugged without uncrossing his arms.

“Nothing. palette I was just curious to see what a saint does.”

“And what are you doing here?”

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 219 – The Temple of the Nephilim (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Of course. alpha I suppose for someone from the demonic world, seeing someone else praying must seem very curious.”

Se-in said coldly.

His voice sounded impeccable. crystal But to Se-in’s ears, it was nothing but provocation. riddle From the beginning, she deeply disliked that hypocrite defiling a sacred place.

He was furious.

“…Didn’t I warn you not to mention where I come from?”

Despite the implicit threat, Se-in didn’t even blink. altitude She answered him with a sarcastic smile.

A slight change crossed the blond’s face. antique Although the darkness prevented a clear view of his expression, Se-in could feel it.

The blond uncrossed his arms and slowly walked toward her, emerging from the shadows.

“….”

“By simply hiding your true identity and origin, I’ve already done more than enough for you.”

Beneath his golden hair, his pupils shone an intense blue.

The darkness tore away as his face appeared before Se-in.

Se-in stared at him.

“Don’t you think so?”
