The Bastard’s Way of Life of the Returning Swordsman

Episode 22

Relic of the Great Dragon (2)

“You went all the way to Raye Holcus?”

“Yes, yes.”

“Yes, yes. How pretty is it that everyone knows how to move like a piece of chess?”

Axion lightly laughed after cutting the steak at the news brought by his subordinate.

In fact, it was Axion who sent Ray and Holcus to the 4th gymnasium.

My maternal uncle told me not to touch Theo carelessly until the flowering ceremony began.

‘That’s nonsense.’

Axion had already made up his mind not to follow Ed’s orders any longer.

‘My uncle’s flaw is that he always moves so quietly. When necessary, it is necessary to be determined and bite the nape of the opponent’s neck.’

From his point of view, Theo and Wellington were the ones who needed to be eliminated as quickly as possible.

If so, it was necessary to lay the ‘board’ before the flowering ceremony began in earnest.

They’ll never get out of here.

A perfect plate to put such a noose on.

‘In addition, we might be able to see how much Theona Wellington has grown in the meantime.’

Axion knew that Ray and Holcus, who could be called his rivals, had entered the closing training ahead of the Flowering Ceremony.

So I sent a letter to the two of them just in time for them to come out.

There are two main contents.

-Wellington lost.

-This is Ragnar, who has been trained by the family lord’s sword.

I expected that the two most sympathetic of the Northern 4 Jun would respond somehow.

It fit exactly.

This made the first plate perfectly laid.

“They are impatient. Especially Holcus can’t wait. Ray… … I can’t help but wonder.”

Anyway, I don’t think they will fight and perish this time anyway.

But it will be enough to light a fire.

Then it was enough to fan the rest during the flowering ceremony and burn them all.

Theodo and Wellington too.

All of the other 4 quartets.

Dalgrak, Dalgrak-

The sound of knives and forks clashing against bowls echoed through the room.

* * *

Ray still remembered that day as the only memory of his childhood.

– Aren’t you cold? Would you like to put this on?

One day during a snowstorm.

Ray once left the palace without his nanny’s knowledge.

It was because I was so frustrated that I was always confined to my room because I was not feeling well.

But she soon regretted it.

They got lost in a snowstorm.

When your body freezes because of the cold and you are looking for your mother anxiously.

met a boy

A boy who looked like a snowman, armed with a thick scarf, mittens, beanie and coat.

The boy asked if he was okay and untied the scarf and wrapped it around Ray’s neck.

At that time, Ray stared at the boy’s face for a while.

The warm body temperature felt by the boy was also body temperature.

‘So pretty.’

It was because her peach-white cheeks couldn’t have been so cute.

A completely different look from the skinny, ugly self.

– You’ll catch a cold if you come out wearing this thin. It’s going to be a big deal. So let’s go back home. got it?

However, the boy, as if he didn’t care about Ray’s appearance, held her hand tightly and moved in search of a house he didn’t know he knew.

Sabak, Sabak-

The long footprints of the two people left in the pure white snowy field were clear in my memory.

after.

Fortunately, Ray was able to return to the palace safely.

Although I suffered from a cold for several days.

Rather, the memories of that time became the foundation, and somehow I came up with the idea of ‘I want to jump and play’.

It also served as an opportunity for her to rise above the curse of the oral syllable.

Then one day.

Ray accidentally found out that the boy in his memories was a brother of the same age as him.

My name is Theo Ragnar.

It was the ‘Asshole of the Rose Palace’ that she had heard of.

‘But it’s changed… … ? suddenly?’

Ray wanted to see it with his own eyes.

How the boy in my memories has changed.

I wanted to find it before, but I couldn’t find it because of circumstances.

It was different now that I had obtained the ＜Ice Baeksin Sword＞ after the training in the closed hall was over.

‘I want to see exactly. What kind of sword are you holding?’

And.

Wellington narrowed his eyes while dealing with Ray.

‘I thought it was good luck, but it’s not like that. What is it? But it doesn’t seem like he had any interaction with Prince Theo.’

Wellington knew very well that Ray had been confined to the hospital room since he was a child, and that his relationship with people was poor.

That’s why I often hear that my tone is always blunt and my expression of emotions is slow, so I’m like an ice field.

However, for the first time, Ray shows big emotional ups and downs.

means there is something

But I wasn’t too quick to ask.

It was too difficult to know Ray’s insides, and there were other obstructions.

“What are you talking about, Ray Ragnar! Theo Ragnar will fight me first!”

thud!

Holkes shouted as he stamped his feet hard on the ground.

The echo was very loud.

Ray furrowed his brows as if he was noisy.

“The loser stays out.”

“You’re saying that with a match that took place three years ago? At our age, each month is very important! 3 years is enough to fill the gap… … !”

“yes. You loser.”

In an instant, Holcus’s face turned red.

“This year is still! I can’t. Let’s compete again! Whoever wins will fight Theo Ragnar swords!”

“You know you can’t do that?”

Rey and Holcus growled as they drew their swords at each other.

oh oh oh-

A mighty wave surrounds the two and rages like a storm.

Wellington, who was in the center, frowned.

Why are these guys fucking here?

‘Could Axion… … ?’

I suddenly remembered the person who would make a ‘prank’ behind my back.

It was first to stop those two people, so I swung my sword roughly.

Gying-

＜Narcio Vision – Narak Sword＞

The sword wind that arose with a strong sword strike crossed between Ray and Holcus.

Chow ah!

“… … !”

“… … !”

In an instant, a different color appeared around Ray’s eyes, which had fallen instinctively.

The same goes for Holcus.

“If you two are going to fight, go home and do it. This is Theo Ragnar’s realm. It is unacceptable to make a fuss without the landlord.”

A bloody spirit emanated from Wellington.

oh!

Holcus looked at him with a light exclamation.

“Well, are you really well right?”

“What nonsense are you talking about? So you’re saying I’m fake?”

“Maybe.”

“what?”

“At least the Well I know didn’t do this.”

One corner of Holcus’s mouth smirked.

“It was so polite and correct to the point of being boring…” … But now it’s too sharp. It’s not easy for people to change so suddenly. What? What have you learned?”

Wellington instantly remembered something.

Moments with Theo.

The moments of learning the sword from Evelyn.

Moments of mixing swords with followers.

The past few months have actually been a turning point in his life.

It was a completely different day from what I experienced in my family.

It had changed his mindset unknowingly.

Of course, there’s no reason Wellington would tell Holkes that.

“Stop talking nonsense. go away.”

“Mmm! If the person who changed you like this is Theo Ragnar, I want to see his face even more. What do we do?”

Wellington tried to raise a sword with the thought that he could no longer speak.

That moment.

Whoa!

“what… … ?”

“… … This?”

Suddenly, a strong sense of pressure was pressing down on the 4th gymnasium.

Holkes raised his head in amazement, and Ray narrowed his eyes and looked the other way.

Wellington’s gaze also returned to the place by itself.

jerk, jerk-

Theo was walking this way.

with slow steps.

However, unlike his footsteps, Theo’s mood was not at all like that.

Where the hell did the fierce battle come from?

The crimson eyes visible through the messy bangs are as sharp as those of a beast.

Here and there, the wounds reflected through the frayed hem of his clothes made his flesh tremble.

Above all, this intimidation.

It was too bloody even if it was bloody, as if it were a dragon fear that a dragon in a legend exudes.

“Ouch… … !”

“Boo, obviously, the ma, the magical powers haven’t been opened yet… … !”

“Wait, what the heck… … ?”

Even the 4th rank in the northern part is so strong that they are startled, but other ordinary people are shocked.

Most of Jenkins and his crew became contemplative, or some even fell asleep with crab foam.

the problem is.

The closer he got to this place, the more he lived and his presence became clearer.

“Pahahahahaha! My guess was correct. I thought it would be fun. You are mine-!”

Kwaaang-

Holkes laughed wildly, then rushed towards Theo in one stroke, kicking the ground violently.

Wellington felt sorry for the moment.

Because I was so distracted by Theo’s appearance that I forgot about him.

‘As far as I know, Prince Theo must have just finished training in the closed hall… … !’

No matter how much my understanding has deepened and my momentum has changed, it is difficult to fully demonstrate my skills in a tired state.

Moreover, with only five days left before the flowering ceremony, it would be a big deal if I accidentally got hurt.

So I’m going to hurry up and catch Holcus-

Then, Wellington could see.

Theo suddenly wanted to point the ornate sword in his hand this way.

aaah-

To swing the sword vigorously in the direction of Holcus.

The sense of intimidation that overwhelmed the 4th gymnasium seemed to unite into one moment, and it seemed as if it had become a sword.

‘glare… … !’

Something pure white flashed.

That was all Wellington recognized.

And.

Fuhuaak-

“how… … what did… … ?”

Holkes, covered in blood in an instant, stood in place, screaming in horror.

From the right shoulder to the left waist. Blood was oozing thickly along the bloodline drawn diagonally.

The claymore he was holding was also in half, rolling on the ground.

‘when… … ?’

Wellington’s pupils twitched, while Ray’s eyes widened as well.

“aaa!”

Holkes let out a groan as if he couldn’t tolerate the situation and tried to move again.

But.

“Noisy.”

Theo, approaching right in front of him, hit his temple hard with the handle of his ceremonial sword.

Bahah!

Holkes fell backwards, unable to speak.

thud-

It seemed that the gymnasium was shaking as the body of that size fell behind.

‘Ha, I’ve never seen Prince Theo move. Even when approaching Holcus.’

A light step, as if it were a walk.

Wellington, as well as a group of followers and Jenkins, all fell into a strong shock.

“‘Black Woong’ lost… … ?”

“The Northern 4 Jun lost… … !”

“What the hell happened?”

Although Theo and Wellington had a sparring match a few months ago.

Dalian is just Dalian.

People didn’t think it was a ‘real’ match.

Either the rumors were exaggerated, or if they were true, it was because they thought Wellington had taken some penalty for Theo’s sake.

But now it was different.

Anyone can see that Holcus rushed at Theo with all his might.

But I couldn’t even reach him and fell mortally wounded.

That, too, was a blow.

The genius who was said to be the future of the north was defeated at once.

Of course, the aftermath was great.

Theo looked at Ray asking if he would continue.

It seemed like he would wield a prepared sword in that direction as well.

The crimson eyes shone intensely.

Ray stared back and forth between his sword and Theo’s sword.

“… … .”

Quietly, I put the sword back into the scabbard.

Clap!
