Chapter 64: The Calamity (3)

My mind went completely blank.

‘Am I dead…?’

I remembered taking hold of the sashimi knife and unleashing a fierce attack, but beyond that, the overwhelming pain pierced my brain and extinguished my consciousness.

The memories of the battle against Agor were fragmented, like pieces of shattered glass.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 64: The Calamity (3) by Indra Translations.

First, my sense of touch returned, then taste, smell, and finally, hearing. adopt The heat of the scorching wind burned my skin, dry and rough air coated my tongue, and the stench of burnt flesh wafted into my nose.

I was still alive. antique I knew it instinctively.

Was this what it felt like to have died and come back to life? apron But now wasn’t the time to rejoice. legend I focused on regaining my senses and clarity. sphere Then, I could feel the blood flowing through my veins, spreading to every corner of my body.

I felt dizzy and, with great effort, managed to cling to the faint thread of my consciousness. orbit Within the darkness of my mind, I tried to reconnect with the forgotten sensations of my body. airport Then I felt the dry wind brushing against my cheek.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 64: The Calamity (3) by Indra Translations.

Instinctively, I flexed my fingers. aluminum I felt the familiar touch of the knife’s handle in my hand.

‘…’

I let out a small sigh of relief, but a question arose. audit Why, even after the Blessing of Pain Insensitivity had ended, did I not feel any pain? aspect Not only was there no pain, but my mind felt incredibly clear, as if it had been completely cleansed.

However, my eyes still weren’t focusing properly. riddle What I saw was a grayish haze covering everything.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 64: The Calamity (3) by Indra Translations.

While I was lost in thought, the scene before me began to clear up. matrix The blurry view slowly sharpened into defined shapes.

I felt a sense of déjà vu.

Similar to the time when my wooden sword broke during the duel with Chloe, yet different. acoustic This time, my mind was sharper, and there were no unsettling whispers within me.

“Cough, cough.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 64: The Calamity (3) by Indra Translations.

A harsh coughing sound reached my ears, making me look up. silence What I saw was the back of the Sword Master.

“…Sword Emperor.”

However, the left side of his torso was gone. athlete His left arm had completely disappeared up to the top of his shoulder, and flames burned near where his armpit had been. harbor The air was filled with a sickening stench, like burnt flesh.

“Cough, cough. agent It seems you’ve regained consciousness.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 64: The Calamity (3) by Indra Translations.

He turned his head slightly toward me, offering a strained smile despite his face being clearly twisted in pain. echo Fresh blood dripped from his chin and the corners of his lips.

“But your arm…”

My eyes filled with worry as I looked at his missing arm, but he spoke in a calm, though slow, tone.

“Take a moment to steady yourself while your body recovers. abstract The situation here is far from promising.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 64: The Calamity (3) by Indra Translations.

Agor tilted his head slightly, observing the two of us with curiosity before speaking.

Even under these circumstances, he tried to reassure me with a wider smile. adopt Then, he turned his gaze forward, focusing on the enemy.

“I’ll be fine. harbor I don’t need two hands to hold a sword. abandon Worry more about yourself and recover quickly. matrix The desperation of this situation won’t change just because I have both arms.”

The Sword Master shrugged his one remaining shoulder and responded lightly.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 64: The Calamity (3) by Indra Translations.

The Sword Master, breathing heavily, did not respond. meadow He gripped his sword tightly with his right hand, adjusting his stance.

“This is strange. meadow Old man, tell me. anchor How did a mere human cut through my magic?”

Agor sighed with annoyance, shaking his head.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 64: The Calamity (3) by Indra Translations.

Frowning, Agor clicked his tongue with an expression of irritation. admire A flame gathered around his arm, wrapping it like a burning glove.

Instantly, the moisture in the air evaporated into steam, disappearing with a hissing sound.

“How irritating. ability It seems this body and I don’t mesh well. alien Watching myself struggle against a brat and an old man on the brink of death.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 64: The Calamity (3) by Indra Translations.

“Old man, I don’t know what trick you used…”

Before finishing the sentence, Agor stepped forward.

Boooom!

Agor’s malicious aura intensified, taking on a physical form that seemed to envelop him completely. amateur The Sword Master’s shoulders rose slightly with a tense movement.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 64: The Calamity (3) by Indra Translations.

I wanted to move to help, but the backlash of the Blessing of the Sword God left me unable to move a single finger.

The impact created a violent gust of air, tearing at the skin.

With an explosive roar, he closed the distance in an instant and swung his flame-wrapped arm toward the Sword Master.

“—Die.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 64: The Calamity (3) by Indra Translations.

A sharp, precise sound filled the air. audit His movements were so clean they resembled a dance.

Sliiice—

The roaring flames aimed for the Sword Master’s neck. arch But with his eyes wide open, he raised his sword and cut.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 64: The Calamity (3) by Indra Translations.

In the next instant, one of Agor’s arms fell to the ground, burning with such intensity that the terrain beneath melted like lava.

Agor blinked, stunned for a brief moment, but quickly, a murderous fury twisted his face.

The technique had stripped away all unnecessary motion, reaching a level so high it could even cut the uncuttable.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 64: The Calamity (3) by Indra Translations.

Fwoosh!

“How dare you, you damned insect!”

As Agor moved his index finger and thumb, hundreds, perhaps thousands, of fire spears appeared behind him and shot forward immediately.

A rain of flames rushed toward the Sword Master.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 64: The Calamity (3) by Indra Translations.

The sound of light footsteps echoed. legend The Sword Master, concealed within the smoke, unleashed a strike with his sword wrapped in pure blue aura. armor The energy of the aura, sharp as a whip, aimed directly at Agor’s vital points.

Tap!

The attack contained the skill, talent, and experience of an entire life dedicated to the sword. album Each movement of the Sword Master, along with the trajectory of his blade, was projected in my mind as if I could visualize it.

The sword, carrying the weight of his entire existence, finally reached Agor’s neck.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 64: The Calamity (3) by Indra Translations.

However, at the same time, an unsettling sound, as if something were tearing, filled the air.

“I’ve been cut.”

Slash!

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 64: The Calamity (3) by Indra Translations.

Crack!

The Sword Master quickly backed away, kicking the ground to gain some distance, while spewing a torrent of blood from his mouth.

“Ah… damn it!”

One of the countless fire spears sprouting from the ground pierced the Sword Master’s stomach. harbor Crack—the sound of burning flesh resonated through the area.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 64: The Calamity (3) by Indra Translations.

“Keuk, keugh.”

The Sword Master opened his lips several times, struggling to articulate words, before a painful groan escaped his throat. album Finally, his knees hit the ground, and the light in his eyes began to fade slowly.

A round hole pierced his abdominal cavity. adopt The explosive power of the fire spear had destroyed his body with such force that there wasn’t even a trace of blood or flesh left.

He looked down at his body to assess the severity of his state, but when his eyes focused, his pupils began to tremble violently.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 64: The Calamity (3) by Indra Translations.

“Haha.”

The difference between humans and demons wasn’t just the strength they wielded. album Agor had cast mental-type magic in that instant, altering the Sword Master’s visual perception.

Agor let out a mocking laugh as he slowly approached him. arctic The arm that had previously been severed was now completely regenerated, with no trace of a wound.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 64: The Calamity (3) by Indra Translations.

I bit my lower lip hard. aspect My teeth pierced the flesh, and blood began to flow. galaxy My body was paralyzed, unable to move.

“Old man, for a human, you’ve been impressive. autumn But the impossible is impossible. silence No matter how much an insect tries, it will always remain an insect.”

Agor cast a sidelong glance at me, as if my state was of no interest, before turning his attention back to the Sword Master.

“Damn it.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 64: The Calamity (3) by Indra Translations.

The Sword Master, with heavy, drawn-out breaths, looked directly at Agor. acoustic Then, with a faint smile, he replied.

“…What?”

Agor’s brow furrowed slightly, and a look of discomfort crossed his face. crystal The Sword Master, with his last breaths, continued speaking.

“You’re afraid.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 64: The Calamity (3) by Indra Translations.

The Sword Master let out a low laugh, which made Agor’s face twist with irritation.

“Ha, ha.”

“I don’t know exactly why you crossed from the Demon Realm to this place. antique But I can see it clearly… Fear is rooted in your eyes.”

“Ha, this is ridiculous. wizard Do you think I feel threatened just because I decided to play with you a little? athlete Insect, you only got lucky cutting off my arm once. alien It doesn’t mean we’re on the same level.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 64: The Calamity (3) by Indra Translations.

The old man raised his head slightly, looking straight into Agor’s eyes. avalanche His golden irises shone with intensity.

Agor narrowed his eyes, tilting his head as he asked in a cold tone. admire But the Sword Master just let out a dry laugh and continued speaking.

“Old man… those eyes. atomic Don’t tell me… Are you a descendant of Aaron?”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 64: The Calamity (3) by Indra Translations.

“It’s amusing that a creature who has lived for over a thousand years calls me old. altitude Compared to you, even an old woman among my peers would seem like a young celestial maiden.”

“What nonsense are you spouting now?”

“It’s funny.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 64: The Calamity (3) by Indra Translations.

Yet he did not collapse. anxiety Instead, he planted his sword in the ground for support and slowly stood up.

Gripping the hilt of his sword with his right hand, the Sword Master straightened his back. silence Then, he looked directly at me and gave a faint smile. meadow A strange sensation coursed through my body, making my hair stand on end for no apparent reason.

The Sword Master breathed heavily, a lock of his white hair stuck to his cheek.

“It’s true that demons are much stronger than humans. matrix So unfairly strong that it’s despairing. aluminum In my younger years, I cursed this world for that. accent After all, facing an insurmountable wall no matter how hard you try is bleak. airport But… now that I’ve reached this age, I finally understand something.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 64: The Calamity (3) by Indra Translations.

Agor’s face paled slightly, but he soon let out a dry laugh, shaking his head in disbelief.

“Agor, you know it as well as I do. harbor Humans have the ability to evolve and progress over time. voyage That is why demons fear us more than anything, and also why they try to invade the human world whenever they can.”

The Sword Master pulled his sword from the ground and pointed it at Agor.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 64: The Calamity (3) by Indra Translations.

“Your opponent is me!”

“Ha, this is ridiculous. orbit An old man about to die leaving such grand words as if they were a testament. abandon In the end, they all say the same thing. palette You humans are so cliché. aspect Just like 700 years ago.”

“What are you saying? anchor You’re a walking corpse. adjust I don’t have time to amuse myself with you. altitude If I’m going to stay in this world, I’d rather play with someone younger.”

Saying this, Agor took a step toward me. august Seeing this, a look of concern quickly spread across the Sword Master’s face.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 64: The Calamity (3) by Indra Translations.

Agor responded with a carefree tone, mocking me with interest.

“Descendant of Aaron, are you really trying to impose your human standards on me? acquire I thought you were a little smarter, but it seems you’re just another senile old man.”

“You turn your back on your enemy? arrow That boy is just a student!”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 64: The Calamity (3) by Indra Translations.

The Sword Master cried out in desperation and charged toward Agor with his sword raised.

“No, it can’t be! adopt Kang Geom-Ma, run now!”

But before he could reach him, Agor was already in front of me. amateur He whispered a spell, casting mental magic that completely immobilized my body.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 64: The Calamity (3) by Indra Translations.

“…”

With one arm severed and a hole in his abdomen, the Sword Master’s movements were noticeably slower.

“I disagree with what that old man said, but looking at you, I suppose humans *are* evolving creatures. aspect Your body seems useful, so I’ll take it, darling.”

Agor glanced at him coldly before leaning down toward my ear.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 64: The Calamity (3) by Indra Translations.

“Consider this my final gift.”

Agor reached out his hand, gently stroking my head before suddenly kissing my forehead.

Agor’s sinister whisper and the Sword Master’s desperate shout blended into a deafening chaos.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 64: The Calamity (3) by Indra Translations.

“Hehehe, this body will be used to fulfill the desire of my people. acid Don’t worry, we’ll meet again in hell, Kang Geom-Ma.”

Flash!

At that moment, all the chaotic noise suddenly ceased.

With that, he placed his hand on my head and unleashed a wave of magic that began to invade my mind.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 64: The Calamity (3) by Indra Translations.

Beep!

An overwhelming fatigue washed over me, threatening to erase any shred of consciousness I had left.

A torrent of sensations flooded my body. wizard An overwhelming sense of euphoria consumed me, so intense it seemed impossible to endure.
