I Became a Time-Limited Swordsmanship Genius at the Academy

45. Anubis

“…The balance is wrong.”

“Sounds funny!”

When Anubis desecrated the golden scales, he barked in indignation.

But that was an impossible result.

A golden scale tipped with brains.

It was a lie.

‘L is a character I created. But it was made by someone other than me?’

I thought of the second question.

The answer is that you are not human.

Does that answer have anything to do with this?

– ……

Malkaras looked at the scales tipped with his brain and fell silent.

Immediately, she pointed her finger at El.

– This is a funny person.

“…?”

– All humans in the world are born from females who give birth to life. If you call that being a mother, then you too must have been born from your mother’s body. But how do you say you made yourself? Are you a hermaphrodite?

Ugh.

Malkarath laughed soundlessly. The size of his body was so overwhelming that the space shuddered and vibrated.

“…Could that be a joke?”

– I won’t answer. Think for yourself.

Maybe it’s because of the added realism.

The jokes were of a high quality.

– This is the first time I’ve laughed like this. Yeah, you’d be sad if it ended like this, but let me tell you one thing as a funny reward.

He stabbed my chest with a finger that resembled a tree branch.

It was the part where the soul was asleep.

– You will die soon.

“What a great thing that is.”

It was a fact that everyone already knew.

But what Malkaras wanted to say was different.

– You don’t know much about yourself. I’m not referring to a huge lump of yin energy inside your body.

“…?”

– Let yourself figure out the rest.

“Wait a minute. What did you just say?”

I could die even if it wasn’t for the stomatitis?

He frowned and demanded an answer, but Malkaras’ white eyes creased and drew a half moon.

Bang!

“The time for questions is over! Let the savage burn the glory of Malkaras into his heart and turn it off right now!”

Anubis got angry as he cut the ax handle.

Like a dog, he is extremely loyal.

It’s true that he’s loyal to his master, but other than that, what he said to me was very unpleasant.

‘You want me to go on like this with only a lot of questions about people?’

The service really sucks.

I couldn’t go on like this.

I pointed to the golden scales.

“I can’t go. At least I have to take that golden scale to relieve my stomach.”

“…Humans, are you serious?”

Anubis flapped his pointed ears.

Laughter comes out of nowhere.

“Open your ears and listen carefully. I will definitely take that golden scale.”

Kreurreung!

“So much madness.”

Anubis showed his fiercely grown teeth.

The golden scale is a symbol of Anubis.

By saying you were going to take it, you were tantamount to declaring that you were going to steal the dog’s most prized bone.

“I’m not asking you now. Isn’t your master Malkaras?”

– Are you asking for my permission?

Pointing at Malkaras, Anubis was visibly taken aback.

“M-Mr. Malkaras! That is absolutely not possible! You know very well that that is the purpose of my existence!”

– Hmm…

Malkaras didn’t reject it right away, wondering if my voice worked better than I thought.

– Come to think of it, there was an unspoken rule between us monsters. The rule that the loser gives everything he has to the winner.

“Winner! Eat! Everything!”

Akmodok, who had been shutting up so far, shuddered.

The sand prison cracked and shattered in an instant.

“I eat! Human defeat!”

– Oh, a fair deal happened. How about If the Humans are defeated, you will lose your life. If you win, you may take the Golden Scales of Anubis.

Life and death come and go with a single word.

But even though I came this far, I wasn’t the type to fear death.

“Today will be the day you will see the last golden scales.”

Kkong kong!

Patience exploded, Anubis grabbed an ax and attacked.

***

Cheer Leuk!

Cursed.

A purple spell appeared from the darkness and gave off light.

An incantation full of unknown characters is carved into El’s body.

[Continues to suffer]

[All attack damage dealt is weakened]

[Falls into a slowing state]

[Falls into a vulnerable state]

The contents of the curse visible in sight. Both of them were brutally brutal.

[An entity like Taishan fails to resist]

The vitality drains from the body.

‘Is it too much to wish for luck?’

From noble mtl dot com

Being like a mountain is not an invincible attribute. Like experience, there was proficiency.

‘However, through this opportunity, I will have resistance close to the limit.’

As long as you can survive.

“That’s arrogant! You’re digging your own grave!”

Bang!

The ax falls.

Anubis’ body was three times the size of a human, so the size of the ax was also unusual.

It was enough to say nothing about the size of the blade, as it easily surpassed humans even with just the handle.

Kang!

Lightly bump into each other.

‘Is my strength a bit lacking?’

Anubis’ stats are concentrated in his intelligence and ability.

I didn’t quarrel with him for nothing.

If the curse is lifted, I will have the upper hand in terms of strength.

I also had the ability.

The terrible ice that is not affected by curses.

Char Ah ㅡ

A snake made a sound as it flicked its tongue in search of prey.

The cold of the palatal vein came out of the body.

“Kong kong!”

Anubis took a step back, judging that even a dog with a bad temper was dangerous.

No, it seemed to back off.

“Kup!”

I turned my body in a hurry.

But he played it too late, and a long stab wound was left on his right arm.

‘Move the shadow!’

Anubis’s second ability was shadow movement.

Because he knew how to deal with darkness, he could move anywhere in the shadowed space.

The only loophole is the purple spell right before moving.

“Kong! What a bad body.”

However, Anubis was not without damage.

As a reward for overdoing the attack, the hands holding the ax were covered with frost.

After shaking off the frost that penetrated my skin a few times, when I found out that it was not moving, I gave up and grabbed the ax again.

‘I took the first step.’

The core of the frost sword is, as the name suggests, ‘frost’.

Just looking at the 1st stab and the 2nd frost gust, it’s an attack full of frost.

This is the most important step.

‘But the damage is not easy this way either.’

The right hand holding the sword trembled.

Blood leaks out.

Because of the curse, throbbing pain in the head and non-healing wounds torment the body.

I put my hand on the wounded area.

Damn it.

“…You’re a more toxic person than I thought.”

He bit his teeth.

Ice bloomed on the injured area and it froze.

Thanks to that, the blood stopped, but the senses were also blocked.

“I didn’t want to spread this number.”

Uung ㅡ

Jiji cried silently.

Something crawls up from the ground.

‘Shadow minions.’

Anubis’ prerogative and second most famous ability after the Golden Scale.

Three shadow minions who looked exactly like Anubis arose.

In an instant, there were 4 dogs.

– Kong, kong!

– Kkong kong!

The shadow subordinates only barked to see if they had no intelligence.

However, his other stats were very high as he lacked intelligence.

– Kwang!

The shadow subordinate, who laid the ax like a shield, rushed first.

‘It’s a disadvantage.’

Avoid.

Step back from the battle line.

The ax passed by even in the place where he retreated, and when he looked back, the main body was teleported and was waiting.

“What are you going to do now, human?”

Anubis smiles leisurely.

Before I knew it, I was surrounded on all sides.

I closed my eyes.

“Are you thinking of giving up? That’s good too. Those who coveted the golden scales will end their lives as mere prey.”

He raised four axes high.

The moment it was taken down mercilessly.

‘Frost Slasher Type 3.’

Winter trees bloom.

Anubis was pushed back by a group of huge chills that released the air.

“Keugh!”

Damn it!

Frost covered the body of Anubis nearby.

The same goes for shadow minions.

As the ‘shadow’ is supposed to be alive, the body is covered with frost, so its identity has deteriorated.

“You’re stupid. To think you’d show off your abilities when you’re not in such a disadvantaged situation. Is it because you’re an insignificant beast?”

“……”

Winter trees bloomed fresh and spread the chill around.

The chill that bloomed like a fruit gnawed at the ground and expanded its territory.

In the frost zone, winter came in an instant.

This was completely my land.

Anubis gnashed his teeth in anger, but he did not dare to set foot in the Frost Zone where ‘Light’ exists.

‘What the hell is this frost?’

He gripped the hilt of the axe.

Frost digs into the flesh. It was a frost that even the thick, hard hair couldn’t stop.

This is the first time I feel my body being frozen.

Curse, slowdown and something else.

Frost moves as if it were alive.

My mind has changed.

‘I must kill that human unconditionally here and now.’

Otherwise, the future of demons and monsters was in danger.

Anubis set the ax vertically.

Because of intelligence.

Because it is different from other monsters.

Because I know how to handle things again.

Rather than simply wielding an ax, he thought and devised a way to slaughter the enemy better and more perfectly.

Anubis’ unique ax technique.

It moves in the same way as the shadow minions.

“No more pranks are over.”

The ax that moved temporarily was a living disaster.

Limit the space to avoid and gradually narrow it.

The golden dragon’s eyes read every sword path, but its sluggish body moved even more slowly.

‘Is this Anubis’ unique ax technique?’

Be cautious.

Just like when a lion kills a rabbit, it moves to slay the enemy with all its might, excluding gaps.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

The sound gets louder.

The wind brushing my ears was very cold.

I was penetrating my behavior patterns.

The power of the winter tree gradually withered.

Because this was also the territory of Anubis, it was affected by the curse.

‘It’s the worst.’

Death

It is firmly embedded in my brain.

In the end, it was me who forced myself to move.

Chow!

When the three axes split and a gap was created, I squeezed through my body.

“It looks good!”

However, the gap was intended by Anubis.

A trumpeted ability that has been saved until the very end.

“Keugh?!”

The ring of death has been summoned.

A huge purple circle.

It flew through the air as if it was not affected by physical influence and tied the El like a bee.

What happened in the blink of an eye.

The ax falls.

Anubis grinned, showing his teeth as if his victory had been confirmed.

Awesome!

Split.

The sound of the ax blade digging into something pierced my ears.

Now, if the blood is welling up and Malkaras declares the victor…?

– It seems you weren’t the only one hiding the number.

Malkaras smiled as if he was having fun.

L’s whole body and great sword were frozen cold as if they had escaped from humans.
