Reincarnated as a Legendary Talent Genius of a Noble Family Episode 193

 

129. Mountain Range Ruins (3)

 

Gagon thought.

 

What was the source of that confidence?

 

They were three.

 

The other side was six.

 

But they were all young, while they were lycanthropes who had defeated rangers.

 

This wasn’t even a proper fight to begin with.

 

Growl.

 

“Di, divine power?”

 

One of the lycanthropes was startled.

 

Priscilla stepped forward and floated a holy orb in the air.

 

Certainly, divine power was poison to lycanthropes.

 

“…So that’s what they were counting on.”

 

Gagon tensed up.

 

If he took even one direct hit from that, he’d be done for.

 

Of course, lycanthropes were fast.

 

Fast enough to dodge that flying orb and tear their bodies to shreds.

 

But then it happened.

 

“Priscilla, stay back. You’ll just become a target.”

 

“Are you really okay? Those puppy bastards need to get a taste of this.”

 

“Yeah. Just heal me if I get hurt. Well, you can fire a shot if it looks certain.”

 

“Alright.”

 

Telling her to stay back.

 

Not using divine power to subjugate the lycanthropes, but staying back and firing a shot when the situation called for it.

 

“Are you ignoring us right now?”

 

“No. That can’t be.”

 

Dane tilted his head.

 

“You guys are trying to attack us despite having fewer numbers.”

 

“That’s because we’re lycanthropes. It’s a damn curse, but… we can tear apart the likes of you with one hand.”

 

Gagon was confident.

 

Confident he could turn those young fellows into neatly sliced chunks of meat.

 

Of course, he felt guilty.

 

Nearly ten rangers had already died by their hands.

 

But there was no backing down now.

 

“Really? Then try it.”

 

And Delward and Leila stepped up beside Dane.

 

“Three. Now it’s even.”

 

“It’d be awkward to face them one-on-one, Dane. If you miss any while fighting, we’ll handle them.”

 

It was truly absurd.

 

So that fellow with the green sword would face all three lycanthropes alone?

 

The other three weren’t even stepping forward.

 

One fellow was floating a holy orb, but the other two had only drawn battle gauntlets and a bow respectively, with no other movements.

 

“These bastards…”

 

Anger flared up instantly.

 

Living as lycanthropes, they had faced humiliation and contempt, but they took pride in their combat abilities at least.

 

But now that young fellow said he’d face them alone.

 

With just a single sword.

 

Tullio, who was watching this scene, also tilted his head.

 

‘What is this fellow doing?’

 

Tullio had no way of knowing that the secret organization had been destroyed by Dane’s hand.

 

He could only guess based on Dane’s silver hair.

 

‘Could it be the youngest of the famous Sogress County? Why would such a fellow be here?’

 

But even so, facing three lycanthropes simultaneously.

 

What were those other five who were looking at him with such trusting eyes?

 

“Nothing more to see.”

 

Of course, that didn’t mean he was scared or had reason to retreat.

 

No, he couldn’t retreat.

 

“Let’s go.”

 

Gagon let out a low growling sound, extended his claws, and instantly kicked off the ground.

 

The two companions following behind did the same.

 

The target was one.

 

That silver-haired boy holding a strange sword over there.

 

But why?

 

Why wasn’t he making any movements?

 

Despite them charging at such tremendous speed.

 

‘What?’

 

The moment of doubt was brief—

 

Slash!

 

The sword moved and cut Gagon’s side in an instant.

 

“…Gaaah!”

 

Gagon flew forward with his charging momentum and crashed into the ground.

 

Blood scattered everywhere.

 

His tough hide had been cut like tofu.

 

The two lycanthropes who had been charging were momentarily flustered, but couldn’t stop and continued their assault.

 

But then—

 

“Urgh!”

 

When Dane extended his hand, one couldn’t move his body.

 

The other fellow charged forward as planned.

 

Thwack!

 

He witnessed the bizarre sight of his own claws being cut off.

 

“It really cuts well.”

 

An absurd situation where he cut it himself and admired it himself.

 

Of course, the one whose claws were cut was utterly bewildered.

 

“My, my claws.”

 

“Right. Cut them off so cleanly.”

 

Dane said this while swinging his sword.

 

He hastily raised his other hand to block—

 

Slice.

 

This time too, the claws were cut off.

 

Like cutting through butter.

 

“Are only the fangs left now?”

 

“Graaah!”

 

At Dane’s question, the lycanthrope charged forward, ramming with his whole body.

 

Crack.

 

Dane’s green sword instantly moved to the side, pierced through the shoulder blade, and sliced upward as it came out.

 

“Graaaah!”

 

As screams rose up, the lycanthrope who had just been bound by magic also charged forward.

 

But then it happened.

 

“Keeek!”

 

He charged straight at me, but suddenly something like a baby wyvern popped out of Dane’s embrace…

 

“Kiruuuuk!”

 

Whoooosh!

 

It suddenly spewed flames.

 

I reflexively crossed my arms to block, but the flames instantly covered my arms and burned all the fur.

 

“Aaaaah!”

 

Searing pain shot up from my arms.

 

The shock was even greater because it was an attack I could never have imagined.

 

“Th-this crazy…”

 

At that moment, Gagon, who had been wounded in the side, barely managed to get up.

 

The wound was slowly regenerating, but it seemed too much to continue fighting.

 

“Y-you, what the hell are you…”

 

“You were so confident earlier, but now it seems different?”

 

No.

 

That can’t be.

 

A boy who faced three Lycanthropes without getting a single wound.

 

I couldn’t believe it.

 

“As expected of Teacher Dane.”

 

“There’s nothing for us to do.”

 

“But even if we stepped in, there’s nothing we could do. Wow, he’s incredibly fast.”

 

“He slashed the first guy’s side, completely split the second guy’s shoulder, and bound the third guy with magic…”

 

“Shh. You can’t talk about what comes after.”

 

“Oh right.”

 

Seeing them talk from behind as if they knew this would happen was disheartening.

 

‘I can’t fall here.’

 

Gagon recalled a technique that only he, particularly strong among the Lycanthropes, could use.

 

Berserk.

 

Even without a full moon, he could accelerate his blood flow throughout his body to maximize regeneration and combat power.

 

However, once used, he would become too exhausted to move his body.

 

‘I must win and take one of those bastards…’

 

So he had to end it quickly and offer one of them alive to the altar.

 

If that happened, they could return to being human and go back to their families’ embrace.

 

“Huu.”

 

Just as Gagon was regulating his breathing to use berserk.

 

Whoosh!

 

Suddenly, a pure white sphere of light flew from behind Dane and struck Gagon directly.

 

“Krak!”

 

Gagon was sent flying.

 

It was before he could even use berserk.

 

Dane looked back at Priscilla, who had fired a Holy Orb over her shoulder without warning.

 

“So suddenly like that?”

 

“It seemed like he was about to do something. I struck first.”

 

Priscilla grinned and dusted off her hands.

 

And Gagon writhed on the ground, unable to even use berserk, all strength drained from his body.

 

“D-damn it…”

 

How futile.

 

Even when he tried to move, he couldn’t.

 

To think it would end here.

 

“Useless.”

 

He even heard Tullio’s mocking voice from behind.

 

Anger surged, but he couldn’t move.

 

The same went for his other comrades.

 

The one with the split shoulder barely got up but was hesitating, and the one hit by flames was suffering while clutching both arms.

 

“I had expectations since you’re Lycanthropes. Well, it doesn’t matter. I only need to sacrifice one anyway.”

 

Tullio spoke mockingly and turned his gaze toward Dane’s group.

 

“But you guys are annoying. I’ll spare you even now, so go back. I’m stronger than you can imagine.”

 

Tullio spoke confidently and smirked.

 

Gagon shuddered at those words.

 

The guy who immediately subdued two of them Lycanthropes and made an offer they couldn’t refuse.

 

He didn’t know his identity or abilities.

 

“R-run away…!”

 

Gagon gathered all his strength and shouted.

 

Though they were the ones he had been trying to kill just moments ago, now that it had come to this, he had to warn them.

 

He couldn’t let there be more victims.

 

“Run away… that guy is strong!”

 

But Dane didn’t even glance at the fallen Gagon and moved forward with his sword drawn.

 

“I said run away!”

 

Step, step.

 

Dane finally stopped only when he reached the front of the altar, and going even further, he alternately looked at the altar and Tullio before speaking.

 

“The size should roughly fit.”

 

“What?”

 

“I’m asking if you’re ready to lie down.”

 

An attitude that completely ignored whatever Gagon was babbling about or how strong Tullio was.

 

Having subdued three Lycanthropes, it was understandable, but Gagon still hoped Dane would run away.

 

“…You’ll regret it.”

 

“Usually the guys who say that kind of thing are the ones who regret it.”

 

Seeing he wasn’t backing down even in this battle of wills, it seemed like he really had something.

 

Meanwhile.

 

‘Damn, this is bad.’

 

Cold sweat ran down the back of the confident Tullio.

 

Who would have thought that not only would he subdue those three, but show not a trace of fear.

 

Actually, Tullio wanted to conserve his strength as much as possible.

 

To subdue this ‘being of the ruins’ he would summon after offering a sacrifice to the altar.

 

Subduing it with force was nonsense.

 

It was an incredibly ancient being.

 

So he had come looking for a way to subdue it, but the problem was that it consumed enormous stamina and mana.

 

“Even if you defeat me, you can’t do anything if you don’t know the method.”

 

So Tullio tried bluffing.

 

‘Please go, please go, please go, please…’

 

But Dane mercilessly shattered that hope.

 

“I can just figure that out as I go.”

 

Then he tilted his head.

 

“Ah, there’s also the method of finding out from you. You seem to know something, right?”

 

Right now, to Dane’s eyes, Tullio was truly a bundle of information.

 

Not only had he come first and dismantled all the traps, but he knew that sacrifice using the altar was necessary, and he also knew about whatever would appear afterward.

 

So Dane decided.

 

Before stuffing that guy into that altar, he would capture him and find out everything.

 

“…”

 

Though he was acting strong, Tullio’s expression under his hood was actually tearful.

 

Anger was also rising.

 

At this point!

 

When everything’s done!

 

I hate that bastard who suddenly pops out trying to snatch it all away.

 

I hate him so much…

 

Actually, I’m not confident.

 

‘How strong is he? Damn it, I should have done some simple research when I heard the name Dane Sogress.’

 

He took down three Lycanthropes, so Penta-level?

 

No wait, he didn’t just use his sword but magic too it seemed, so is he a magic swordsman? That’s ridiculous.

 

No, if not that then there’s no way to explain…

 

“You seem to have a lot on your mind, should I help clear your head?”

 

Then came Dane’s voice.

 

He’s speaking with a smile, but why does it feel so chilling.

 

Tullio finally realized he had to fight.

 

‘With my magic, maybe there’s a chance.’

 

He uses swordsmanship to that extent, but surely his magic can’t be better than mine.

 

Tullio is a 6-Chain level mage.

 

Moreover, with deep knowledge in alchemy, he had planned this whole affair.

 

Since Dnabo, who was the best mage in the secret society, was unexpectedly captured, now it’s his job to do.

 

‘With just Roxinna’s Tears, I can revive the organization.’

 

Tullio steeled his resolve and drew up his mana.

 

But Dane tilted his head at that sight.

 

Click.

 

Then suddenly sheathed his sword.

 

‘Is it working? Did he fall for it?’

 

Tullio wondered if his threat had finally gotten through and cheered inwardly.

 

But that was only for a moment.

 

“You were a mage? You should have said so.”

 

“…”

 

No way.

 

Whooom.

 

Dane drew up mana with both hands and grinned.

 

“It’s a bit awkward to use a sword against a mage.”

 

“…”

 

Then suddenly, as if he had forgotten something, he reached to the other side.

 

“Answer the Call.”

 

He summoned… a summoned beast.

 

“Grrr.”

 

“Since you’re both wolves, you know well, right? Keep watch. Don’t let them do anything foolish.”

 

“Gruk!”

 

Then after entrusting Gendpu with watching the Lycanthropes, he looked back at Tullio.

 

“Shall we begin now?”

 

Of all things, even summoning arts came out.

 

‘Damn it, really.’

 

The organization is ruined, and this plan seems like it’ll fail too.

 

Tullio really wanted to cry.

 

Really.

 

Like a child, wailing.
