Genius Wizard Hides His Sword Skills [EN]: Chapter 95

95. The King of the Snowy Mountain (3)

‘A headless Bone Dragon?’

[Is that even possible? Could such an undead exist?]

Oberon hadn’t heard of such a creature either, and he naturally looked to Aries for answers.

‘I don’t think so?’

Aries stared at the headless Bone Dragon, her lips twitching.

“Wh-What is that! Scary!”

Startled, she took a step back.

‘Did the magic circle malfunction somehow?’

The Bone Dragon looked clumsy, but thankfully, the Snow King remained focused on it.

“Kieeeeeee!”

The Bone Dragon screamed as it lumbered forward.

[How can it howl without a head?]

‘Exactly.’

Using its momentum, it crashed into the Snow King.

Kuuuuuuu!

Larger than the Snow King, the dragon’s bony body slam delivered a huge impact.

“Kuaaa!”

The Snow King was pushed back, the snow on the ground swirling and obscuring vision.

‘Oh, it’s fighting better than I expected?’

[Yeah. Not bad, considering it’s missing its head.]

The headless Bone Dragon surprisingly held its own against the Snow King, keeping our attention riveted.

“Kieeeeeek!”

It flew up again through the swirling snow. The Snow King’s fist followed, but…

Whooong!

It only violently cut through the air, failing to connect with the Bone Dragon.

‘Oh!’

Naturally, we had some rising expectations.

“Ahem!”

Aries, who had approached us, crossed her arms, radiating confidence.

“It’s better than you thought, right?”

“Weren’t you just asking what it was?”

“Well, whatever, we just need to get through this!”

Her attitude was confident, but it was still too early to relax.

‘She’s right, but something’s missing.’

[I agree.]

The Bone Dragon flew around, harassing the Snow King. It was faster, definitely, but that was all.

Whooong!

It barely dodged the Snow King’s attacks and couldn’t mount any significant offense.

“Kieeeeeee!”

All it could do was scream and push with its body.

‘It’s definitely because it has no head.’

Bone Dragons mainly attack with their strong jaws. This one was like a toothless beast.

“Kuaaaaaaa!”

Eventually, the Snow King pounded his chest again, enraged by the Bone Dragon.

Whooong!

Suddenly, a fierce blizzard swirled around his body, befitting the king of the snowy mountain.

‘……Snowstorm!’

He could control the powerful blizzard.

“Kieeeeeee!”

The Bone Dragon tried to flap its wings, but it was too close and was instantly swept away by the blizzard.

The fierce wind sucked it in, creating the perfect opportunity for the enraged Snow King to devour it.

“Kuweeeeee!”

The Snow King’s fist thrust out again towards the Bone Dragon. Until now, his attacks had been simple swings.

Kwaaaang!

The sound of an explosion followed as the fist landed squarely on the Bone Dragon’s ribs.

“Kieeee!”

The Bone Dragon screamed and was knocked away. Having lost its mobility in the wind, it was helpless.

Whoooooong!

The blizzard blew again, controlling the Bone Dragon’s movements.

Kwaaang!

The Snow King’s fist continued to strike.

As if he had found a way to attack the Bone Dragon, he rampaged.

“Th-This! Damn it!”

Aries’s fists trembled at the sight.

“If I had summoned it properly, that thing would be a piece of cake!”

Eventually, she admitted her creation was a failure.

“It seems like there was a mistake in the magic circle! Let’s get out of here!”

She grabbed my wrist. The Bone Dragon’s defeat was inevitable, and it was natural to escape while the Snow King’s attention was focused on it.

“……Not yet.”

But I couldn’t follow her.

“What? What are you talking about! We’ll all die if we don’t go now! Is he more important than your life?”

There was still one thing I couldn’t give up on.

“I have to take Anghel with me.”

Anghel was still lying in the snow, bleeding. His chest was rising and falling slightly.

‘He’s still breathing.’

He must have suffered a serious injury, but I couldn’t leave him behind and run away.

“Why bother with someone like that! Are we all going to die here? Is he more precious than your life?”

Aries urged me again.

Of course, he wasn’t more important than my life.

I don’t know why, but I couldn’t throw away the new life I had gained after a thousand years. I couldn’t waste the opportunity for revenge that I had barely obtained.

‘Still, some things are just wrong.’

Even so, I couldn’t bring myself to abandon a comrade. I couldn’t leave behind someone who had risked his life to protect me.

[There’s no point in stopping you, is there?]

Oberon knew my tendencies and seemed to have already given up.

‘Yeah. I have to try until the end.’

I just had to find another way.

[What’s the plan?]

‘I guess I have no choice but to use that thing.’

The Bone Dragon was being brutally beaten by the Snow King. It was helpless in the blizzard, but it was the only thing I could rely on now.

The Bone Dragon was the only one who could react to the Snow King’s speed.

Swish!

I grabbed my sword and took a step towards the two monsters fighting.

‘Ugh!’

I couldn’t help but feel a throbbing pain in my broken ankle.

“Wh-Where are you going!”

Aries shouted from behind.

“We need to decide the outcome before the Bone Dragon gets more damaged. Just control it to get it away from the Snow King for a moment.”

“Wh-What are you going to do?”

“I’m going to give it some teeth.”

That was the only plan I had. If the Bone Dragon appeared without teeth, I just had to fill them in.

“What does that……?”

“There’s no time to explain, just do it. Let me get on when I get close.”

The Bone Dragon was a fast and strong undead, but the Snow King was also a formidable opponent. If it kept taking hits like this, it wouldn’t last long.

The teeth I was going to give it would be useless if it wasn’t intact.

‘I don’t have much time.’

With those words, I limped towards the blizzard.

[What teeth?]

‘You’ll see. I have something with reliable performance.’

Kwaaaang!

The Bone Dragon was getting hit in the neck again.

Each time, it rushed at the Snow King like a moth to a flame.

“Kieeeeeee!”

It flapped its wings in a slightly different way than before. Instead of blindly rushing at the Snow King, it was struggling to get out of the blizzard.

‘Good. This way!’

After a rough flapping, it moved away from the Snow King and headed towards me.

Thud!

The Bone Dragon lowered its long tail, as if telling me to get on.

Thud!

I immediately climbed onto its back. It was hard to keep my balance with my broken ankle, so I crawled up to the base of its neck.

‘Let’s try this again.’

The Snow King was in front of me.

Whoooooong!

The blizzard blew again at the same time.

“Bonehead, let’s do something together.”

As if understanding my words.

“Kieeeeeee!”

The Bone Dragon flapped its wings powerfully. It had been dragged into the blizzard and punched every time, but.

This time, I was on its neck.

‘I’ll be your teeth. The strongest teeth!’

Wooong!

The blade of Fragarach [a legendary sword] was dyed a deep yellow. It wasn’t just aura.

[Kiyoohhhhh!]

Fragarach, who had devoured all the aura in my body, was going crazy.

[Blood! Give me blood! Who will be my sacrifice! Kiyooh!]

Fragarach screamed as soon as it came out.

“Kieeeeeee!”

The Bone Dragon was also howling, as if it was angry about what it had suffered.

‘You two are so loud. Kill that white thing first.’

[Oooo! A worthy one to eat after a long time! Kiyahaaaaa!]

We quickly approached through the snowstorm. At the end of it stood the Snow King.

“Kuaaa!”

As expected, he swung his fist.

“Kieeee!”

The Bone Dragon didn’t dodge the fist and thrust its body forward.

Pow!

It took another hit, but this time it stretched its neck so that I, who was riding on it, could reach the Snow King’s face.

[Kihyayaaaa! Come here!]

Another sound followed Fragarach’s mad laughter.

Poooook!

The Snow King’s wide eyes were being pierced.

“Kuaaaa!”

The Snow King writhed in pain. My body was thrown off by the fierce resistance.

[Good! Give me more blood!]

The sword, moving on its own, was stuck in his eye and continued to crave blood. Fragarach gradually sank deeper. Eventually, its entire blade was buried.

Thud!

The Snow King’s knees hit the snow.

Kuaaaaaaa…….

Eventually, he fell forward.

‘Got it!’

He died instantly because Fragarach had eaten his brain.

[Kiyooh! Good after a long time!]

Fragarach’s voice continued to ring in my brain even after the battle was over.

[Hey, master! Give me some more aura!]

‘I don’t have any more. Be quiet and disappear.’

[Wh-What? No! Don’t send me away again!]

His voice echoed and faded from my mind.

[Ah, no……!]

It was because all the injected aura was exhausted.

“Kieeeeek!”

But another cry rang in my tired ears.

“You should disappear too.”

I waved my hand.

Poof!

The Bone Dragon disappeared in black smoke. Aries had canceled the summon.

“Wh-What! What did you just do?”

She ran up to me. Admun and Drew were behind her.

“I told you I’d give it some teeth.”

“No, not that! How can a kid do such an attack! How did you kill the Snow King in one hit……!”

Aries was flustered and couldn’t continue. Of course, she couldn’t understand. She had never heard of swordsmanship that could kill the Snow King in one blow.

“I’ll explain later, so move aside.”

I needed to check on Anghel, who was lying down and panting.

‘Thank goodness. He doesn’t seem conscious…….’

However, I didn’t know where he was hurt, so I couldn’t just carry him on my back.

“Aries, can you lift Anghel with magic?”

“Hmm. That’s not difficult. Will you tell me how you did it if I lift him?”

“If we get out of the Zailo Mountains.”

“Then, why not.”

Aries nodded and began to draw a magic circle.

“So, is it all over now?”

Drew was looking at the fallen Snow King with a serious expression.

“There’s still one thing left to do.”
