The Bastard’s Way of Life of the Returning Swordsman

Episode 21

Relic of the Great Dragon (1)

Kyaaagh!

Lesser Drake, who fell asleep and lost one eye, struggled in pain.

Bang, bang, bang, bang!

The power was so great that every time it jumped, it rang so loudly that I wondered if the cave was collapsing.

‘It would have been better if it had stuck to the brain. Was it shallow?’

Theo clicked his tongue lightly and ran forward.

It was regrettable, and now was the time to focus only on hunting.

Excluding the preliminary sword stuck in the guy’s snowball, there are two remaining preliminary swords. Each was held in both hands and crossed at the nape of the neck.

Tuoong!

However, the scales on the nape of his neck were so hard that a sharp knife could bounce off them.

‘this… … !’

big uh-

Lesser Drake realized that Theo was his enemy and attacked him wildly.

[Dragon Fear dominates the battlefield. A panic state is applied and movement is reduced by 10%.]

On top of that, even the dragon killing spirit unique to the dragon species.

Theo quickly pulled both swords inward and managed to push the lesser drake aside.

‘Its scales are so hard that the sword can’t go in. Then I have to aim for the gap between the scales.’

Even in dangerous situations, Ragnar’s agile combat sense told Theo exactly where to move.

The lower part of the neck connecting the head and body.

It is also commonly referred to as Yeokrin.

Theo quickly rotated his body, dug in, and stomped hard on the ground again.

‘One island.’

Faaat-

Once again, the preparing sword he was holding in his right hand became a pure white trail and pierced Drake’s nape.

Pooh Woo-wook-

This time, I felt the sensation of piercing my skin through my fingertips.

“Then continue… … !”

Theo slashed the Lesser Drake’s left eye deeply while rotating the remaining prepared sword wide in an oblique direction.

＜Arcane Swordsmanship – Dragon’s Three Teeth＞

This time, it was a one-shot using the arcane swordsmanship he had learned before.

However, the method of cutting, not stabbing.

Chow ah!

Lesser Drake’s remaining eyes exploded like fireworks.

＜Arcane Swordsmanship – Clown’s Footwork＞

Wow!

Theo narrowly escaped beside Drake’s tail.

As expected, a new method using arcane swordsmanship.

His skills were incomparably stronger than before.

thump thump… … !

With the dragon’s heart beating wildly, the adrenaline rushed out.

Theo laughed out loud.

* * *

recently.

Theo’s group of followers, including Sybil, felt that people’s eyes on them had changed a lot.

“Hey, Sybil.”

“Why?”

“People have increased again.”

“That’s right. I don’t know if this is enough to change the gymnasium.”

Sybil scratched the back of her head as she watched the crowds that had filled the 4th gymnasium since dawn.

This is also a recent phenomenon.

All of them were the crowds who came after rumors spread that Theo was training at the 4th gymnasium every morning.

Everyone wants to fight Theo with swords.

It was said that Theo had been trained in the master sword, so he came because he wanted to check his skills.

the problem is.

“I hope there are no troublemakers this time.”

It was that the people who came to me like that had bad personalities.

Is it because he looks down on Theo?

They thought only of raising their status by beating Theo, but they never thought of hanging out with Theo.

So, he was busy treating the group that followed Theo as ‘thugs’, and it was easy to cause disputes and conflicts in every case.

What if Evelynn wasn’t there?

Perhaps, the twists and turns would have been more worth watching.

So this time, I just hoped that there would only be normal (?) guys.

“By the way, Theo-sama, why can’t you see me like this these days?”

At that time, Sybil shrugged at the question someone asked.

“Yeah. Now, there must be only five days left until the flowering ceremony.”

“right.”

“A person who doesn’t miss a single day, so I’m worried. Is it because you are focusing on personal training? Haven’t you heard anything else from Evelynn?”

“doesn’t exist.”

“Um… … . Nothing should have happened.”

As the flowering ceremony was approaching, all sorts of events were happening in Winterer with a sense of tension every day.

So I couldn’t help but worry about Theo.

-I’ve been waiting for several days, but why doesn’t it even come out?

Meanwhile, Sybil and her colleagues heard pumpkin seeds about Theo.

No, it wasn’t just pumpkin seeds.

I was openly sarcastic as if I wanted others to listen.

-That’s right. Staying here is making me a little sore.

-Yes, look at the faces you see here. I’m not going to get rid of it

– hehehe. Is that too?

Some of the people who came to see Theo burst into laughter at the sound of bursts of laughter, while others hardened their faces.

“These bastards are really… … !”

Eod grabbed Sybil’s arm as she was about to step out in a feverish state.

“Hey, stay still. Didn’t you hear what Evelynn said before? You mean that as the flowering ceremony approaches, there will be tampering works to undermine Theo’s reputation? Keep quiet.”

Sybil gritted her teeth.

“Then why don’t you just leave it alone?”

“It’s just for us. It’s not like I listened to it for a day or two, why is that?”

“Shit.”

Sybil is barely trying to calm down as she loses her temper.

– But actually, do you think that once in a while?

– What do you think?

-Is that rumor true? That I received the sword from the head of the household. In fact, if you look closely, no one really saw it, right?

-Ah, then you could be lying?

-That would not be a lie. But rumors can be exaggerated, right?

-yes? Is that too? Then why don’t you show up because you’re afraid your skills won’t improve?

– We are scary.

– Oh, can you talk? giggle! They say that they are scared and hide, but dragging them out is also ridiculous. difficult, difficult

Sybil’s face hardened.

It was like blatantly ignoring Theo.

So I turned to Eod.

“Eh?”

No Eod?

The moment I looked around to see where it had gone, I could see it.

The figure of Eod flying and kicking (?) at the guys who were giggling and laughing.

Pereouk-

“Cuck!”

After standing still, the guy whose head was kicked was kicked out of the way.

“Hey, Henry!”

“Such a madman!”

“What is this loser doing!”

Those who had been giggling together a while ago drew their swords in unison and growled at Eod.

“… … that crazy bastard He behaves calmly with me, and loses.”

I forgot for a moment.

In fact, Eod is the most fierce Theo ‘Father’ among his followers.

Hearing the sound of Theo being ignored made his eyes roll upside down.

That’s why you can’t pretend you don’t know that ugly friend.

“Everyone pull out their swords!”

Sreung! Sureureung!

Following Sybil’s instructions, the followers drew their swords and gathered around Eod.

All of a sudden, the 4th Gymnasium was largely divided into two branches.

“How dare you ignore Prince Theo? These bastards are going to die!”

“You bastards are even worse than Confucius!”

“… … Hey, don’t talk face to face. We are not good either.”

“But we become average, average! Not those!”

“yes. If you add Prince Theo, the average goes up… … .”

“Anyway, I didn’t like it when those bastards were messing around.”

“Step on it!”

Wow-

It was just then that a gang fight was about to begin with loud shouts.

Kwaaang!

Suddenly, a sword plunged between the two gangs like lightning.

“… … !”

“… … !”

A powerful destructive force that shakes the gymnasium.

All the people turned to hard faces and turned their eyes to that direction.

On the handle of the sword stuck in the ground like a grave.

Wellington was looking down with his arms crossed.

“Princess Wellington!”

The joy on the faces of the Sybil and other followers who met the ally was young.

“I, Narcio Sogaju… … !”

Having met a strong man, the opposing party swallowed dry saliva.

-I heard that Narcio Sogazu had a relationship with Prince Theo, but was it true… … ?

– I didn’t see you these days, so I thought I wasn’t worried. Needless to say… … !

-Damn it, isn’t this a twist?

Wellington was originally called a genius, unlike Theo, whose name has only recently started to come into the limelight.

Moreover, the position of Narcio Sogaju was by no means low.

The gang quickly glanced at each other.

-Still, isn’t Narcio So famous for being a good giver? Could we talk well?

-right! If you say there was a misunderstanding, somehow… … !

They tried to convince Wellington somehow.

“Hasn’t everyone heard that several right arms were blown off while recklessly teasing Ragnar’s heir?”

Wellington’s gaze looking down at them was very cold.

“Oh, it seems there was a misunderstanding. Narcio sogaju.”

At that time, Jenkins, the leader of the gang, cautiously stepped out.

One of Wellington’s eyebrows twitched.

“Misunderstanding?”

“Yeah, yes. We are always curious about Prince Theo’s skills… … !”

“There is no one who properly saw the fact that he received the sword from the head of the household, rumors can be exaggerated as much as he wants, he is hiding because he is afraid that his skills will be found out… … Where are you saying there is a misunderstanding?”

“… … !”

Did you hear everything from the beginning?

Jenkins’ face darkened.

Because there was no excuse for that.

“If there are no more excuses, let’s end it by taking one arm at a time.”

“Come on, sleep… … !”

Before Jenkins and the gang could shout anything, Wellington landed on the floor and drew his sword.

nettle liquid-

Suddenly, Épée, boasting a long sword, flew in front of Wellington like an arrow.

Chaaang!

Wellington twisted his body towards it and pushed the épée upward.

Epee spun in the air and fell quietly onto a nearby tree.

There, a woman with a face as cold as ice was sitting and collecting epee.

“Le, Ray-sama!”

In an instant, Jenkins’ face turned red when he saw her.

“What are you doing here, Ray Ragnar?”

Wellington, on the other hand, glared at her with cold, sunken eyes.

‘Snow Ice Sword’ Ray Ragnar.

Among the 15-year-old Ragnar of his time, he is the most promising genius along with Axion.

Her fame, which overcame the curse of the ‘nine syllable vein’ and stood up to hold the sword, was such that no one in the north did not know.

But why is she here, who says she has no interest in the outside world?

The problem was that she wasn’t the only one who showed up.

Wow!

Opposite of Ray.

A pillar of dust shot up with a tremendous explosion, as if it had been hit by an artillery shell.

There, unlike his youthful face, there was a man with bulging muscles and a body that seemed to be 190 cm tall.

“Until Holcus Ranke?”

The Ranke family, along with Narshio and Hanabi, is one of the 6 horsemen.

They are famous for their huge body and strength like a polar bear, so they were more famous with the nickname ‘The Polar Bear Family’.

Holchus is the second son of the Ranke family, and he was a genius expected to stand out in this flowering ceremony.

“Ha ha ha! This, this, this would be fun if only I was left out! Is everyone doing too much?”

Holkus looked back at Wellington and Wellington with a vicious smile.

The more he did, the more Wellington’s expression hardened.

From Ray to Holcus.

It was because it occurred to me that it was absolutely no coincidence that they suddenly appeared at the 4th gymnasium all at once.

Wellington, Axion, Ray, Holcus.

In the north, there were nicknames to refer to these four people.

-Northern 4th Jun.

The four Junjae who represent the future of the north.

Excluding Axion, all three of them gathered together.

The fact that the guys who are busy preparing for the flowering ceremony have moved means that they have some ulterior motive.

Wellington couldn’t quite figure out what it was, and he was very nervous.

He even grabbed his sword as if he would deal with the two of them.

However, Ray did not pay much attention to him even though he was guarded by Wellington.

I just quickly scan my surroundings to find someone else.

“Where are you?”

“what?”

“Seomho.”

“Seomho… … ?”

“Here is the gymnasium owner.”

Wellington knew then.

The fact that the word ‘Sumho’ is a nickname referring to Theo.

‘You got a nickname right then.’

I didn’t know.

Because he was too focused on personal training so far and couldn’t care about the outside world at all.

But what about island hora?

It means a tiger that flashes like a flash.

I thought that perhaps there was no nickname that would suit Theo as well as this.

Who would have built it?

“Why Prince Theo?”

“I want to see the match before the flowering ceremony.”
