I Became a Time-Limited Swordsmanship Genius at the Academy

37. The Lloyder Family

Zahhak was shocked by El’s actions.

‘Not a single person has stopped Butler Evelyn’s falling attack! You’re going to block that with a sword?!’

It is suicidal.

That was a new way to commit suicide.

The other demons were all restless as if they were all thinking the same thing.

Cézanne did not slow her down.

A meteorite falls.

Cleave the wind, pierce the frost, and make a huge noise.

Everyone gulps.

When you tremble with tension.

El and Cezanne collided.

Kwakwakkwak!

Damn it!!!

“Ugh!”

I hurriedly covered my ears at the tearing sound.

I can’t see anything.

I couldn’t see anything even when I opened my eyes to see who won and who lost.

I can only hear vividly in my ears the frost blooming and setting, making a final stand.

Some insignificant demons ran away.

The demons with a strong fighting spirit instantly ended up with a far-high level of fighting.

Cuckoo Palace…

The sound slowly fades.

I quietly open my eyes as the sound that seems to last forever fades away.

When I opened my eyes, a huge chill took away my body heat.

Damn it.

The chill and steam that freezes the floor makes it impossible to know whether the battle is won or lost.

“Is it over?”

“I guess so…?”

It just infers that the missing noise is over.

Everyone intuited L’s defeat.

It’s not an attack that common sense tells you to block.

But since we fought it head-on…

The answer was almost obvious.

“Shut up. It’s not over yet.”

But Zahak was the only one who denied it.

The viper-like eyes flashed sharply and found El in the smoke.

As I let out a full breath of tension, the smoke clears.

“What is that?!”

I couldn’t help but be surprised when I witnessed something in their smoke.

Damn it, damn it.

The ground freezes.

Ice smoked.

Winter has arrived at Lloyder’s special training ground.

The survival instinct vomits fear in the extremely negative weather.

The demons tried to retreat, but they couldn’t move.

“Everything, my legs are perfectly uh, frozen…”

“It’s cold, cold, cold…!”

From the floor, the legs were connected by ice. The demons trying to escape had to vividly experience the pain of being ripped off.

Even under such circumstances, everyone steadfastly ate the special Lloyder nutritional supplement.

“Well, what the hell is that?”

It’s not just the floor that surprised me.

On the contrary, there were more demons who saw the L than those who looked at the floor.

What they were surprised to see.

The cause that made all the earth and even the air freeze.

Winter trees.

A white winter tree was blooming in the middle of the arena.

***

A winter tree blooming like a castle.

The leaves are white and the body is also white.

It continued to spit out chills as if breathing.

“This is amazing. I really thought you would take it head-on.”

As Cezanne spoke, breath came out due to the difference in body temperature.

“That was the only loophole.”

“…I really don’t know how many times I’ve been surprised today.”

L had his back against a white tree.

The 3rd type of the frost sword is not to apply cold to the sword, but to stimulate the body’s extreme negative retardation to superimpose countless pieces of ice outside the body.

The sound energy applied to the skin worked in perfect synergy with the palatal artery and played a greater role than any other shield.

Chill and chill add up to create something invisible.

Professor Durrahan called this ‘imagination’.

I remembered the professor’s words for a moment.

– El students. As you awaken the Frostbite, you will be able to feel the phenomenon of becoming one with nature. I don’t know when that time will be, but imagine one thing for that moment.

– Imagine? What imagination are you talking about?

– This is the imagination of L student’s musical instrument. The most representative is snow crystals. Besides that, you can think of winter or a cold man. L What will the student think of?

I didn’t understand at first.

Wielding a sword makes you one with nature?

But now I know what it means.

‘What I imagine. A tree that does not collapse, firmly protects me and makes me spend a cold night.’

A tree reminiscent of a shield protected the back.

It wasn’t just a shield.

That Tat –

Damn it!

Ice blooms like fireworks on the road that has passed.

As cold air is blown into the sword, ice follows all traces of the swing.

“Keugh…!”

Cézanne made a struggling sound for the first time.

Perhaps she decided that it was impossible to hit head-on, she stepped back and measured the distance.

However, the fist must inevitably close the distance before it can attack.

Damn it!

The air froze and Cézanne’s body slowed down.

Sharply lowers her sword towards Cézanne’s face.

‘If you touch it, it’s a fatal blow!’

It can’t be avoided.

Because of her frost, she couldn’t measure her body speed.

Although she belatedly realized, she swung her fist hastily.

“?!”

The sword is gone.

El twisted her arm with her grotesque movements, then switched to her sword in an instant.

It was thanks to the characteristic, [Evolved body].

Card win!

Cézanne clenched her molars until they cracked.

The sharpness of the greatsword piercing her right arm.

Ice that pierces the skin.

‘Is this the first area that was attacked!’

It was the part that received the 2nd ceremony of the frost sword.

It wasn’t a critical hit like the other parts, but it was the only area where you could say it was injured.

As wounds are added to wounds, red blood flows out.

“There’s blood coming out. There’s blood coming out of Butler Cézanne’s arm.”

“Could this fight be won by El?”

As the demons trembled, they couldn’t hide their interest.

The fighting spirit that fills the battlefield.

The heat that pierces the cold.

It drove everyone crazy.

Cézanne clenched his teeth.

‘If I fall down here, I won’t be able to raise my head to the young lady!’

Arouse the spirit again.

“Suck!”

Kakacak!

As I strained my body, the chill that had been tightening me like a chain shattered into a crisp.

It spreads its winged wings wide open.

‘Are you planning on doing a dogfight?’

El easily predicted Cezanne’s way.

The ground is already my stage.

As long as Winter Tree was alive and breathing, he could fight Cezanne on an equal footing.

‘The only way to attack from a distance is to harden the ice into icicles and blow them away. That would do minor damage. But the same goes for opponents.’

Cezanne doesn’t have ranged skills either.

To fight with your fists, you must come down to earth.

‘Then the only thing Cezanne can do is…’

The speed of the wings.

The Earth Dragon’s eyes flashed.

Boom!

There was a huge noise as if a bomb had been fired on the ground.

There is no time to rest.

She threw her body hastily to the side.

Boom!!

‘Damn it. I can’t attack even if I see it.’

A speed that the chill cannot keep up with.

Cézanne’s movement with her wings spread was beyond imagination.

When she looked in front of me as if teleporting, she was behind me before I knew it.

Physically as well.

Even considering the power gap.

In this state, she will definitely lose.

‘What should I do? Should I predict the attack path and swing the sword?’

Boom!!

It was difficult to judge.

The power of the wings that even breaks the flow of gravity is unpredictable.

‘Alas!’

I slipped on my own due to the chill that had risen to the limit.

The perfect gap.

“That’s it!”

When Cézanne charged with ferocity.

– Meow.

I heard the sound of a cat in my ear.

***

“What is this?!”

Cezanne was taken aback.

I felt it.

A chill penetrates all senses and skin.

Everything was clearly felt.

‘Why?! It must have flown at a speed that can’t be followed!’

I tried to spread her wings wider, but it was already at the limit.

Before she knew it, she herself was working hard against El.

‘I have to attack.’

I was pushed to the limit.

If you don’t attack, you’ll turn into an ice statue.

The chill that eats away at her body slowly tightens her throat like a death god.

She stretches out her arms, contemplating being attacked.

“What?!”

Kang!!

Cézanne’s attempt was spectacularly blocked.

No, it wasn’t blocked.

Because El didn’t dodge the attack.

“Uh, how?!”

Cezanne’s fist touched El’s forehead.

But the reason Cézanne was flustered was that she didn’t budge like El did.

‘…What’s the situation?’

Elle felt strange even with her good results.

Everything looked different.

Was my tone this warm?

It feels like being held in the arms of her mother.

To think that what felt so cold is now warm.

‘Is there anything like this in what Professor Durahan said?’

Her eyes glared at the big fist between my eyebrows.

No.

Professor Durrahan had never mentioned this phenomenon.

Far from blocking Cézanne’s fists, her head should have been shattered and broken.

I didn’t block it with my great sword, it was because I blocked it with my ice.

However, the moment I heard something, I came to an epiphany.

Emotions beyond ‘cold’ were given to it.

Damn it.

“Suck?!”

Ice rides on Cézanne’s hand.

I tried to take it off in a hurry, but I couldn’t help it.

Her ice moved from her hand to her arm.

From the arm to the shoulder.

From the shoulder to the whole body.

Before finally covering her mouth.

“Ha, I surrender! I admit my defeat!”

Cézanne admitted defeat.

***

I won.

Zahak came and his eyes lit up as if burning his childhood innocence.

“That’s amazing! From that swordsmanship to the ice! Where the hell did you come from? I’ve never seen a demon that gives me goosebumps!”

But I didn’t hear Zahak’s voice.

Close and open your hand.

Sararak.

It didn’t feel like hard steel like before, it was the ice I usually throw out.

‘What was that note just now?’

The palatal artery.

Polar negative retardation.

The Frost Slasher.

It is clear that the combination of the three is great.

It is true that I use the best power by borrowing the power of the soul ball and the power of Grandel, but I know my body best.

‘More than the original power. It’s like… Someone pouring water on my ice.’

That water is colder than mine.

The water instantly became one with my ice, creating a huge snowball.

– I felt it too. Looks like someone helped you.

‘Grandel?’

Grandel came out of his spirit and put his hand on his chin.

– I watched Dalian. It’s true that you fought well, but the limits were clear. Low stamina, racial differences. Overwhelming combat experience car. I endured all of that with my talent… But I would have lost in the end. But you got through it just fine. Until the sound of defeat came out of that dragon’s mouth.

The Dragons are famous for being the most arrogant race.

Because the first head of household, de-Royder, also came out because he got angry at the other dragons staring at him insignificantly.

Acknowledging defeat means lowering that arrogant head.

‘You mean someone helped me?’

– I was watching it in my soul, and suddenly I got the feeling that someone broke into the room. It penetrated your polar retardation and breathed new power into it. I don’t know what that power is… But I think you’ll naturally realize it over time.

I want to feel it too.

As I repeatedly opened and closed my hands, I remembered the afterglow from earlier.

Tak!

Suddenly, someone grabbed my palm with both hands.

“Name, tell me your name! No, give me! I will follow you for the rest of my life!”

Zahak’s eyes sparkled as if he could turn a propeller with just his tail.

‘Wait a minute. You bastard… Can’t it be?’

It’s nice to have Zahak’s trust.

I suddenly felt uneasy when I heard that there were homos*xual demons.

***

‘…Is this the bitter taste of defeat? That’s amazing.’

Cezanne saw El and Zahak from a distance.

I dare not put into words the feeling of winning and then losing.

“hahahaha, this is the first time I’ve seen Evelyn’s butler defeated.”

“Aren’t you getting old now? I think it’s time to hand over the position of butler!”

A member of Lloyder’s demons approached and brushed Cézanne’s shoulders. The chill goes away from her.

Cezanne laughed at that.

“That’s right. Let’s make an invitation to Mr. L.”

“What?”

The demons blinked their eyes at Cezanne’s words.

This is the first thing he said after taking on the role of a butler since he was born and taking care of him!

“Ah, that’s a funny joke.”

“Is the feeling of defeat so bitter? Ha ha ha!”

Of course, I passed it on thinking it was a joke.

But Cézanne was serious.

‘You were hiding your power. To grasp my power from beginning to end.’

I pretended to be weak and let my guard down.

I figured out my strength while using all the skills.

It feels like being naked. It was very embarrassing.

You’re much stronger than yourself. You pretended to be so strong.

‘…Must be caught unconditionally.’

There are only a handful of demons this strong.

Cezanne approached El.

“Don’t cling.”

“Mr. El! El Niyim!”

She squeezed in between Zahhak and his chatter.

“Cezanne. Get this kid off me. He hasn’t been listening since a while ago.”

“El, do you have any plans to become a butler?”

“……?”

L’s expression was just ‘what is this bastard?’
