Chapter 105: The Night of the Purge (4)
However, the result was a complete defeat. The strength of the Seven Stars was far beyond what the villains could have ever imagined.
The enemy’s attacks had been brutal. They had done everything in their power to corner Media and Siegfried, using all sorts of extravagant magic.
“Phew, looks like this is pretty much settled.”
Media murmured as she finished taking down three villains with her bare hands.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 105: The Night of the Purge (4) by Indra Translations.
Media fixed her gaze on the man’s back as he crawled across the concrete like a worm. Feeling the pressure of her stare, the villain instinctively turned over, begging for his life.
“Ugh…”
One of the villains writhed on the ground. The bones in his legs were completely shattered, leaving him incapable of walking.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 105: The Night of the Purge (4) by Indra Translations.
“Oh, really?”
“P-Please, please! I’ll tell you everything! Just let me live!”
“Of course! Ask anything you want, I’ll tell you everything I know!”
The villain desperately tried to prove his worth, willing to say anything if it meant surviving.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 105: The Night of the Purge (4) by Indra Translations.
“…?”
Tap, tap.
“Hey.”
The sound of Media’s footsteps stopped right in front of him. She sighed slightly and shook her head.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 105: The Night of the Purge (4) by Indra Translations.
With a single brutal stomp, Media crushed the villain’s head.
“Tell me, would you trust the words of a villain?”
Crack!
“Wait, no—!”
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 105: The Night of the Purge (4) by Indra Translations.
“Almost finished.”
Then, she lifted her foot and shook off the blood that had splattered onto her shoe.
“Hey, Sieg! How’s your side?”
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 105: The Night of the Purge (4) by Indra Translations.
Siegfried inspected the fallen villains with his sword, ensuring none were pretending to be dead.
‘It really was just five of them.’
Siegfried glanced around, assessing the situation.
His decades of experience had taught him to be meticulous, even in the final moments. After confirming that there were no signs of life, he carefully wiped the blood off his blade.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 105: The Night of the Purge (4) by Indra Translations.
Boom!
However, an unsettling feeling began to creep into his chest.
As he pondered this, a loud explosion suddenly echoed from afar.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 105: The Night of the Purge (4) by Indra Translations.
A powerful blast rang out from a distant location.
Their eyes trembled. It wasn’t difficult for them to deduce that the explosion had come from Cladi’s residence.
“……!”
Siegfried and Media immediately turned their gazes toward the source of the sound.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 105: The Night of the Purge (4) by Indra Translations.
They exchanged silent glances and nodded in understanding.
***
A chilling sensation filled the air. They could sense an overwhelming, menacing magical force—clearly surpassing a count of ten.
Without wasting any time, they swiftly abandoned the clearing, heading toward Kang Geom-Ma.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 105: The Night of the Purge (4) by Indra Translations.
A white wall collapsed, scattering debris in all directions as dust billowed through the air.
“Where the hell are those bastards?”
Rumble, rumble, rumble!
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 105: The Night of the Purge (4) by Indra Translations.
The villains shouted at each other in frustration. They were trying to attack blindly, but the reduced visibility made it impossible to aim properly.
Someone inhaled a lungful of dust, triggering a coughing fit.
“How the hell should I know?”
Swoosh!
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 105: The Night of the Purge (4) by Indra Translations.
“The assassin is over there! Everyone, fire in that direction!”
A blade cut through the thick dust cloud, piercing straight through the temple of one of them.
A brief groan escaped the villain’s lips as Knox swiftly withdrew his sword and vanished once again into the haze.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 105: The Night of the Purge (4) by Indra Translations.
All sorts of elemental magic—fire, water, wind, and stone—collided into the area, unleashing deafening explosions.
However, their lack of coordination turned their attack into a disaster. Their spells crashed into one another, wasting their energy.
Boom!
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 105: The Night of the Purge (4) by Indra Translations.
“Do you have a death wish?”
“You idiot! Your magic canceled out mine!”
“What the hell did you just say, you bastard—”
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 105: The Night of the Purge (4) by Indra Translations.
A sword punctured through the solar plexus of the villain who had just spoken.
Amid their yelling, a subtle sound rapidly approached.
Swish!
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 105: The Night of the Purge (4) by Indra Translations.
“Kuugh…! Damn it…!”
The villain gasped out his last breath, and Altair cleanly severed his neck with his weapon, *Syndicate.*
Altair, his expression ice-cold, pushed the blade in even deeper before violently twisting it, causing blood to gush out.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 105: The Night of the Purge (4) by Indra Translations.
“Rot in hell, trash.”
“There they are! Shoot them, now!”
A villain with slicked-back hair shouted frantically.
Altair muttered, replacing his usual farewell with something far more ruthless. After all, there was no need to show respect to villains.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 105: The Night of the Purge (4) by Indra Translations.
The members of the Auditore family were masters in the art of erasing their presence. Among them, Altair Auditore, a supreme-level assassin, stood at the pinnacle of that ability.
Altair, with a mocking grin, immediately activated the Blessing of the Raven.
His skill, honed over the years, not only erased his trace but also confused the enemy’s senses.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 105: The Night of the Purge (4) by Indra Translations.
Swish!
“Damn it! Where the hell did that crazy old man go!?”
Especially in an environment with obstructed visibility—like now—they could unleash their full potential.
Altair’s presence had completely vanished. The man with slicked-back hair began to panic, his expression twisted with fear.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 105: The Night of the Purge (4) by Indra Translations.
An unexpected strike from an angle beyond anticipation.
Or rather, an attack that was impossible to predict.
Stab!
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 105: The Night of the Purge (4) by Indra Translations.
The remaining villains stood paralyzed, their eyes clouded with fear.
Without even a final gasp, the man with slicked-back hair joined his fallen comrades in death.
Thud.
They could only attempt to guess their enemy’s location, relying on the fleeting shadows that flickered around them, hurriedly launching their spells in desperation.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 105: The Night of the Purge (4) by Indra Translations.
The villain’s attempt to cast a spell was abruptly cut short as the accumulated magical energy dissipated like a bubble popping.
But their speed was no match for Altair and Knox’s rapid movements.
The right arm tumbled to the ground.
Knox’s crimson blade carved a swift arc. The blood-soaked sword sliced through the air before severing a villain’s arm.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 105: The Night of the Purge (4) by Indra Translations.
Cladi muttered, his face pale as if his very soul had been ripped from his body.
The villain clutched desperately at the stump where his arm used to be. His throat let out a horrified scream, but it was swiftly silenced, vanishing into nothingness.
“This is insane…!”
“Aargh!”
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 105: The Night of the Purge (4) by Indra Translations.
How was it possible that they were losing? Even though the villains weren’t cooperating properly, the sheer brutality of the massacre unfolding before him was beyond comprehension.
There were three enemies, while they numbered fifteen.
His heart pounded erratically like a broken machine, while his spine and blood vessels felt as though they had been frozen solid.
Suddenly, he collapsed to the ground, unable to hold himself up.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 105: The Night of the Purge (4) by Indra Translations.
Cladi stared blankly ahead.
Even with Altair involved, there shouldn’t have been such an overwhelming disparity in battle.
Through the dust that clouded his vision, a faint glint of a short blade sliced through a floating fireball.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 105: The Night of the Purge (4) by Indra Translations.
The meaning, however, was clear: “Does this even make sense?”
But his confusion didn’t last long.
The villain who had cast the spell cursed under his breath, though his words were barely coherent due to his panic.
The scorching heat vanished in an instant.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 105: The Night of the Purge (4) by Indra Translations.
Moments later, he himself was sliced apart by Sashimi, just like his magic had been.
They had no idea where their enemies would appear, what techniques they would use, or even how many allies they had left.
The villains’ formation was on the verge of collapse.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 105: The Night of the Purge (4) by Indra Translations.
Before he could finish his sentence, a sudden sound filled the air.
A bespectacled villain, his eyes bloodshot with desperation, screamed.
“Regroup—!”
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 105: The Night of the Purge (4) by Indra Translations.
His glasses shattered, snapping like an overstrained wire.
Clang!
Sashimi cut cleanly from the top of his head down through his chin.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 105: The Night of the Purge (4) by Indra Translations.
Another villain fell disgracefully, adding to the growing list of casualties left in Sashimi’s wake.
A female villain charged at Kang Geom-Ma in a frenzy.
“Just die already!”
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 105: The Night of the Purge (4) by Indra Translations.
Slash!
Kang Geom-Ma pivoted on his left foot and swung his blade gracefully.
Whoosh!
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 105: The Night of the Purge (4) by Indra Translations.
“…!”
The woman, unable to react, was cut clean in two.
Her upper body slid to the side, parting from her lower half before collapsing to the ground with a wet splat.
A sight that was unbelievable even when witnessed firsthand. Cladi’s pupils grew even emptier, his sense of reality long gone.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 105: The Night of the Purge (4) by Indra Translations.
Although the Auditore assassins were impressive, Kang Geom-Ma’s movements were in an entirely different league.
‘A monster like this… is a student?’
The steel cut through without even clashing against the bones; it was as if it slid through melted butter.
Even someone as ignorant in swordsmanship as Cladi could recognize that the movements of that sword were unsettling, almost supernatural.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 105: The Night of the Purge (4) by Indra Translations.
It was not just a simple comparison—it truly seemed as if the sword was imbued with a spectral aura.
It wasn’t only the movements of the sword but also how Kang Geom-Ma eliminated magic and created the perfect conditions for the two assassins to operate.
In a limited space, his movements were precise and optimized, advancing with the least amount of displacement necessary.
Although it seemed as if he attacked indiscriminately, he only eliminated the villains who were about to cast spells.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 105: The Night of the Purge (4) by Indra Translations.
Footwork, swordplay, psychological manipulation—he used every resource at his disposal to overturn a situation where they were at a numerical disadvantage.
Cladi already knew that Kang Geom-Ma was an extraordinary guy, but who could have anticipated that he was at this level?
Even when he could dodge, he chose instead to cut magic mid-flight, leaving the villains in confusion and terror.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 105: The Night of the Purge (4) by Indra Translations.
Even the Auditore assassins, as ruthless as they were, infused their swords with some emotion. Kang Geom-Ma, on the other hand, wielded his sword with a terrifying coldness, devoid of humanity.
He did not show even the slightest hesitation in cutting down lives.
However, what sent an unbearable chill down Cladi’s spine was not just his skill.
‘…Kang Geom-Ma, that bastard…’
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 105: The Night of the Purge (4) by Indra Translations.
“Kyaaaaah!”
A scream.
“AAAAAAAHHHH!”
At this point, Cladi began to wonder if that was even a person at all. Kang Geom-Ma looked like a sharpened blade that had taken human form.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 105: The Night of the Purge (4) by Indra Translations.
The villains’ formation collapsed in panic. Some tried to flee desperately.
“Run! We can’t win against that monster!”
Two, three—the echoes of screams piled up against the walls and the floor.
Chaos and terror spread through the villains’ ranks. Even if they had lost their humanity, the fear of death was still present.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 105: The Night of the Purge (4) by Indra Translations.
Even in a situation where visibility was nonexistent, Kang Geom-Ma could move with absolute freedom.
“Where do you think you’re going?”
Kang Geom-Ma instantly detected their hurried movements.
His senses, which had been honed over time, were no longer just an advancement but an evolution.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 105: The Night of the Purge (4) by Indra Translations.
The marble wall shattered from the impact, emitting a sound similar to a gunshot.
Bang!
He lightly stepped on the wall and propelled himself forward.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 105: The Night of the Purge (4) by Indra Translations.
The blade of the Sashimi gleamed, grazing the ankles of those trying to escape.
Slash!
Kang Geom-Ma landed in front of the fugitives like lightning, taking a crouching stance while wielding his Sashimi.
“““……!”””
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 105: The Night of the Purge (4) by Indra Translations.
They ran several meters without feet before collapsing to the ground.
The villains didn’t realize their feet had been cut off until they began to fall. The hallway tiles were stained red, like stamps pressed with blood.
The corridor filled with their agonized screams.
“D-Damn it! My feet! My feet!”
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 105: The Night of the Purge (4) by Indra Translations.
The dark-skinned villain remained still, wearing a stunned expression.
The screams stopped abruptly.
However, Kang Geom-Ma’s swords moved once more, slashing their throats in a single stroke.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 105: The Night of the Purge (4) by Indra Translations.
‘Damn it, the first thing is to recover visibility.’
He had been providing support from the rear with water-attribute magic, which explained why his head was still attached to his body.
Although it was late, he thought that if he reorganized the ranks now, there would still be hope. His mind started working quickly. He gathered magical energy and formed a massive water bubble in the air.
He shook his head violently, trying to shake off his shock.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 105: The Night of the Purge (4) by Indra Translations.
Immediately after, he detonated it with force. The bubble exploded with a pop, sending a wave that swept through the surroundings and moistened the air.
The villain smirked in satisfaction and shouted.
As the humidity increased, the dust began to settle little by little.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 105: The Night of the Purge (4) by Indra Translations.
“Hey, bastards! Now that we can see, let’s fight!”
Even so, there was no response.
“……”
Only silence returned. He shouted again.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 105: The Night of the Purge (4) by Indra Translations.
‘W-What the hell is going on?’
“Ah…”
For a moment, a shiver ran through his head as he looked around, confused. By then, the dust cloud had completely settled, revealing the scene.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 105: The Night of the Purge (4) by Indra Translations.
And at that moment, he understood why no one was responding.
The reason was simple—there was no one left at his side.
An involuntary murmur escaped his lips.
All around him, there was only blood and scattered pieces of flesh.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 105: The Night of the Purge (4) by Indra Translations.
‘Ah.’
A sigh of despair escaped from within him.
His face displayed a mixture of emotions—horror, disbelief, and finally, resignation. His dark skin turned pale, almost bluish.
The only ones still standing were three humans, wiping the blood from their swords as they walked through the corpses. Among them, the figure in the center, with black hair, locked eyes with him.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 105: The Night of the Purge (4) by Indra Translations.
The sound of his boots splashing in the blood covering the hallway floor echoed like drums pounding in the chests of the two men.
Chap, chap.
Cladi, who was behind him, felt an even deeper fear. His hands trembled as he watched Kang Geom-Ma take a step forward.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 105: The Night of the Purge (4) by Indra Translations.
BOOOOM!
Just as terror was about to consume them completely…
No one planned to stand still waiting for death, but their minds were paralyzed, unable to think of a way to escape.
It was just the sound of his footsteps, but it seemed to crush their hearts as if an invisible hand was squeezing them.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 105: The Night of the Purge (4) by Indra Translations.
“……!”
“Well, it seems the bloodshed was more severe than I expected. I didn’t think everyone except one would end up dead. This wasn’t in my calculations. However, there is no greater satisfaction for an educator than seeing a student grow.”
A loud explosion shattered the heavy silence, coming from the side. Instantly, all eyes turned toward the source of the noise.
A perfectly round hole had opened in one of the walls. Through it, someone walked in with their hands behind their back, their attitude completely carefree.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 105: The Night of the Purge (4) by Indra Translations.
“Hey! What the hell took you so long?”
The voice, carrying a pleased tone, belonged to a middle-aged man.
Although he had always been an insufferable figure, at this moment, he couldn’t be happier to see him.
The dark-skinned villain, upon seeing the newcomer, felt a ray of hope. A look of relief filled his face as he exclaimed excitedly.
