The Bastard’s Way of Life of the Returning Swordsman

Episode 35

Flowering Ceremony (5)

Theo first swung his greatsword at Hyde, who was in front.

Chaaang!

A tremendous shock transmitted along the sword body.

Hyde’s eyes widened.

“Kuh… … !”

An involuntary moan escaped from between her pursed lips.

It was to the point where I wondered if my arm was going to fall off.

‘What’s so fast… … ! Besides, what power… … ! Shit! You never said that!’

Hyde spat out disgust as he remembered the head of the Senate who said that Theo was fine and that he didn’t have to worry.

‘Damn the old man!’

But the fight has already begun.

I found out that it was not as easy as I expected.

Still, I couldn’t lose to a bastard or a bastard.

So I tried to push it somehow.

hard-

Theo didn’t budge.

On the contrary, Hyde was being pushed out of his strength.

Drake’s blades were getting closer.

It seemed like it would break Hyde’s sword and crush his skull at any moment.

Besides.

Trick, Trick!

Why is Theo’s momentum so ferocious?

It felt like a chill down my spine and a prick in my skin just by looking into their eyes.

cold eyes.

Live fiercely.

great power.

Hyde remembered the time when he held his father’s hand and went on a field trip to Baek Gap Yonggi University.

The appearance of the flying dragon (飛龍) Wyvern at that time was exactly like this.

Cold, fierce, ferocious.

A look that can only be seen by beasts of prey located at the peak of the ecosystem.

‘Is that a bastard bastard?’

Hyde’s face crumpled.

“What crap!”

Hyde pushed Theo away with all his magic power.

At that moment, Kao and Rune rushed from the left and right respectively.

“You bastard like a leech!”

“die!”

Theo didn’t run into Hyde, but calmly slammed his foot down on the ground, straightening his balance.

thump thump thump!

Even at this moment, my heart was beating wildly.

The tension that had risen because of the blood rushing so fast made my senses bristle.

I could see the two of them fighting.

Theo twisted his body sideways.

Whirik-

Tadadang!

Then, Drake’s blade drew a long arc and deflected the two’s attacks at once.

“Kuh… … !”

“Did this bastard just ignorantly iron? … !”

The two of them were startled by the unexpected power and staggered backwards.

And.

Because that was the moment Theo was aiming for.

With the illusion that Drake’s blade is wrapped in a halo of light.

Bounce!

from top to bottom. The dragon’s claws exploded in an oblique direction.

Runes are the goal.

He was the one who couldn’t keep his balance.

“… … !”

For a moment, Rune’s complexion turned pale.

I hurriedly raised my sword reflexively.

Cheng Kang!

Drake’s blade with dragon’s claws slashed the guy’s sword in half and immediately lodged itself in Rune’s neck.

Chow ah!

From the nape of the left neck to the waist on the right.

Blood flowed along the red bloodline and splashed into the air like a fountain.

– Aggravation of wounds.

The damage Rune received looked more serious than it seemed.

It was because the wound spread faster and even decay was visible to the naked eye.

“Kurruk!”

Rune fell backwards, pouring blood bubbles.

“Luuun! You son of a bitch!”

“You fool! Don’t run!”

Cao screamed and rushed at Theo.

Hyde warned with disgust, but Kao, whose eyes were already half-turned, could not hear.

thud… … ! thud… … !

At that moment, Theo’s heartbeat slowed down even more.

As the tight tension was relieved, it made room for quick judgment of the surrounding war situation.

Theo took a step back and this time raised Drake’s blade from bottom to top.

Chaaang!

Kao’s sword, which was aiming at Theo’s blind spot, bounced upward.

“Do you think you’ll fall for the same trick twice!”

However, Cao was already aware of Theo’s strength, so he did not think of fighting him with force.

He turned his sword to the side, spilling Theo’s attack to the side.

A swordsmanship with a monstrous form, as if a snake were moving.

“I’m lost!”

Kao thought he could catch Theo with this.

Usually, the swordsmanship that handles Zweihander boasts the characteristics of a one-hit kill that relies on strength and weight.

In other words, if the attack goes back to failure, it means that there is no choice but to have a gap.

On the other hand, his swordsmanship, ＜Clown Play＞, boasts an ever-changing style.

That change is one of the few among Ragnar’s sword skills.

It was impossible for Theo, who had only started holding the sword for half a year, to read Turo.

‘Because even the blows this bastard has shown at the Flowering Ceremony have only relied on strength in the end. I think he tried to force himself to fill the gap with the other test takers… … ! under! Do you think things will go your way?’

Kao also calculated to some extent and aimed at Theo.

But.

Faaat-

Contrary to Kao’s prediction, Drake’s blade did not slam into the ground, but bent at a bizarre angle on the way and swept Kao’s side.

Whoops!

It was so violent that the sound of grinding the air was menacing.

Common sense, it’s an angle that makes no sense at all.

It was a movement that seemed to ignore all laws of inertia.

‘Hey, he broke it by force?’

Kao then realized how Theo had created such a form, and hurriedly drew his sword out.

Chae Ae Ae!

The sword shook so violently that I wondered if it might break like this.

Kao managed to keep his balance as he gritted his teeth in the excruciating pain of a broken wrist.

‘damn… … ! Find a gap again… … !’

The moment Kao looked straight ahead to read Theo’s form again,

His pupils widened in shock.

whiwhiwhi-

Drake’s blades were raining down on Kao in a dozen arcs at breakneck speed.

Considering the weight of Zweihander, the speed of the sword seemed absolutely impossible.

In order to deal with it, Kao had to show the maximum amount of herbivore that he could spread.

Follow me!

＜The clown game – The clown’s mockery＞

Swords and swords collided in succession in an instant.

A standard broadsword and a Zweihander boasting enormous size and weight.

If both swords collide at the same speed.

Of course, the disadvantage was the smaller and lighter sword.

Chanang! Chanang! Chanang! Chanang!

Kao hit his body with a hammer repeatedly, and his bones rang at the impact as if he had been hit.

He couldn’t quite make sense of it.

How can you carry a sword like that and have the same speed as yourself?

By what means?

‘I can’t believe this speed with only power… … !’

It was only then that Kao realized that Theo’s ‘power’ was more ruthless than they expected.

monstrosity.

Incredibly strong power.

I felt like I should express it that way.

As much as they themselves were born with Ragnar’s blessed body, they thought that they were never inferior to others in terms of strength.

It didn’t seem like it was going to compare to Theo.

Even Theo’s sword speed was getting faster as time went by.

Flash! Flash!

It was like a flash of lightning.

in front of him

The existence of Kao was too weak.

It sways like a paper doll shaking in front of a typhoon.

‘The dragon’s claws… … I realized how to unravel in a row… … ?’

Then, with the final realization, a beam of light cut the corner of my right eye.

sick.

hot.

That thought was the last thought Kao left in this world.

Pooh!

Drake’s blades crushed Kao’s head like a watermelon.

Blood and brain water spilled out, staining the white snowfield.

Whip whi whi… … !

Theo wrapped himself in the steam rising from the violent heat of friction caused by Drake’s blades.

I turned to the last remaining Hyde.

Hyde’s complexion was hardened now.

Unlike Theo, who calmly sank.

“Do you guys know what your mistake is?”

“… … .”

“I didn’t bring the test tube.”

The corner of one of Theo’s lips curled up.

“You should have thought that you could die.”

“… … !”

Hyde gritted it.

‘How on earth can a bastard who was an idiot be insensitive to murder?’

The people Hyde had seen in the meantime usually reacted negatively to the ‘first murder’.

So, Hyde’s party has been able to hunt several ‘lowly things’ that are stronger than themselves.

But Theo wasn’t like that.

It was so grave.

As if this is natural.

– Just like them.

‘Couldn’t this be the first murder?’

I thought maybe that’s the case.

Otherwise, it didn’t make any sense at all.

“… … When did the Maehwa Palace lord teach you swordsmanship like that? No, since when did you stick with her?”

Hyde had noticed that the swordsmanship Theo had shown was a combination of ＜Dragon’s Claw＞, which was named by the head of the household, and some of the swordsmanship of the Maehwagung lord.

‘It looks like they’re misunderstanding.’

Theo let out a laugh.

* * *

Theo has repeatedly dismantled and reassembled the herbivore several times in order to somehow learn ＜Full Bloom of Plum Blossoms＞ handed down by the Maehwa Palace Master over the past three days.

The basic knowledge and understanding of the 10 arcane swordsmanships she had learned from Evelynn were of great help.

Thanks to.

I was able to get a feel for the elements of ＜Full Bloom＞.

-Rapid and wonho.

The secret lies in the high speed and round ‘circle’.

‘If I could draw a curve using circles and arcs, rather than simply swinging my sword in a straight line… … Herbivore can show various changes and applications.’

-It’s like drawing a lot of plum blossoms blooming abundantly in empty space.

Of course, it was not possible to embody all the enlightenment in just three days.

In addition, Theo did not want to throw away the sharpness of ＜Dragon’s Claw＞.

So, I focused on practicing releasing the dragon’s claws in an arc.

I was finally able to complete the form to some extent in this real battle.

He was able to draw the dragon’s claws three times in a row.

– Dragon’s three claws

Theo gave this skill that name.

If you can draw four times, it is called ‘Four Claws’, if you can draw five times, it is called ‘Five Claws’.

‘It’s still a long way to draw 120 circles and arcs like plum blossoms in full bloom.’

if that’s the case

It will no longer have to be called a ‘claw’.

-Slicing the Dragon

could i call it like that?

“… … yes! There’s no way an idiot who’s only been holding a sword for half a year can beat us like this. tell me straight! Since when did you learn the sword from the Maehwa Palace? Were all the meetings you saw before the Flowering Ceremony just a show?”

Hyde’s guesses had now snowballed.

His eyes were glistening with madness.

“yes. now i get it You, in reality, pretended to be an idiot, but behind the scenes, the sword was secretly made by the Maehwagungju and Baekgap Yonggi Captain to target the Senate, right? yes. It will. Otherwise, it all makes no sense.”

How far can conspiracy theories go?

At this point, I was more curious about the back.

“Dirty things… … ! Authors claiming to represent Ragnar gave low blood unbelievable power.”

Hard!

Hyde gnashed his teeth.

“The idiot of the Rose Palace. you are really sick Not even realizing that he was being raised as a hunting dog. but! Although it is perfect for the use of a lowly thing!”

Theo just stared at Hyde without any reaction.

Hyde’s eyebrows went up.

“As expected, did you get stabbed? then… … !”

“Is the story over?”

“what?”

In an instant, one side of Hyde’s face crumpled.

“Then I must die now.”

“… … !”

Hyde tried to throw the sword at Theo.

‘Sah, it’s gone!’

Before I knew it, Theo’s new model was completely gone.

The snow flurries obstructed his vision.

Where did you go?

‘… … under!’

Hyde hurriedly lowered his gaze.

Contrary to his misunderstanding, Theo did not disappear anywhere.

It was moving so fast that his torso vision just couldn’t catch it.

The fact that even this ridiculous speed spurred the ground only with ‘power’,

Hyde’s chills ran down his spine once more.

fear.

For the first time, emotions that I couldn’t help but feel when facing an incomprehensible being dominated my head.

At that time, Drake’s blade drew a beam of light.

＜Three Claws of the Dragon – Rupture＞

Shish shish!

The dragon swung three claws in an instant.

The first claw broke Hyde’s sword,

The second claw split the lower half of the body diagonally,

A third claw leaped upward and blew the creature’s neck off.

Spark-

Woo woo!

Hyde’s head popped into the air.

At the same time, the remaining upper body and lower body were all smashed and bounced everywhere.

It was a terrible sight, as if a bomb had exploded.

rupture.

The word couldn’t have fit better.
