No wonder his earlobes burned. autumn As expected, the frictional heat in the air had scorched his ears.

Kang Geom-Ma was moving at subsonic speed.

‘Even at supersonic speeds, I can react.’

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 366: A Man Full of Sin (3) by Indra Translations.

“Aaaaaaaaah!”

‘That guy… is he even a hero like us?’ More than that, was he even human?

“U-Uuuuuh…”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 366: A Man Full of Sin (3) by Indra Translations.

Whoooosh!

Kang Geom-Ma dodged the heavy metal ball with just a slight tilt of his neck. attic The ball returned instantly, with its blessing activated, now lined with deadly spikes.

Samseok let out a scream halfway between a battle cry and a shriek as he charged with his mace.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 366: A Man Full of Sin (3) by Indra Translations.

He was fast.

So fast no one could follow. silence Every move left only a trail. echo The space itself trembled. alien His every action distinctly different from that of any ordinary human.

Clank-clank-clank!

And in the next instant, that muscular shoulder of his was smoothly crushed.

Slash!

Silence.

People die.

They all gritted their teeth and charged. adopt After all, weren’t they inside a temporary subspace?

The Royal Guard took it the wrong way.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 366: A Man Full of Sin (3) by Indra Translations.

— Attack!

Kang Geom-Ma’s eyes reflected nothing but shadow.

“Right on the escape route.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 366: A Man Full of Sin (3) by Indra Translations.

Whoosh!

The guard became red dust in an instant.

The slash fell. amber It wasn’t cruel.

So he bit down on the arrow shaft. riddle His jaw tightened slightly and crack, it snapped.

“A Royal Guard attacking from behind…? legend Isn’t your discipline a bit lax?”

Kang Geom-Ma spat out the splinter and turned his eyes. echo The crossbow user stood stunned.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 366: A Man Full of Sin (3) by Indra Translations.

“Remember this.”

It was the result of forcibly slowing down, and even then, this was his speed reduced. aluminum Had he not slowed down, he’d have wiped out the entire Royal Guard in under a second.

Kang Geom-Ma made a light leap. palette As if drawn by electricity, static energy clung to his body.

“…!!”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 366: A Man Full of Sin (3) by Indra Translations.

“…!”

“Heroes aim forward, not at the back.”

“When everyone’s running away with their backs turned, at least we should move forward.”

Kang Geom-Ma kept breathing normally. amateur Still in peak form. anchor He gave them no chance to breathe and pressed on.

With that, his sashimi traced a silver arc in the air. attic The crossbow users saw Kang Geom-Ma upside down as they fell. wizard Thud, their vision blurred as their skulls hit the floor.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 366: A Man Full of Sin (3) by Indra Translations.

“U-uaaaaaah!”

Kang Geom-Ma said it—and did it.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 366: A Man Full of Sin (3) by Indra Translations.

Oscar stood frozen, listening to his subordinates’ screams. antenna He was the first to regain composure.

A body flew skyward. atom Dust and fragments fell from the ceiling, and the body collapsed like a sprawled frog. audit The Royal Guard was being annihilated without landing a single effective blow.

“Ah…”

But for that reason, he also experienced the greatest emotional collapse. advance Like a stone, he remained motionless, witnessing the scene of carnage.

‘Hmm… Is that all he’s got?’

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 366: A Man Full of Sin (3) by Indra Translations.
