The Bastard’s Way of Life of the Returning Swordsman

Episode 40

Guardian Dragon’s Lair (5)

In the midst of flying ice powder, Ray stood up, gripping his sword tightly with the momentum to launch himself immediately.

Soon, one appeared from the entrance side, digging through the ice powder.

That moment.

“you… … ?”

Ray met an unexpected person and opened his eyes wide.

ah!

I thought my gait was staggering with a small moan,

dump-

It soon tilted sideways.

* * *

‘… … You seem very tired.’

Theo clicked his tongue lightly as he watched Ray, who was snuggling up in his arms.

Seeing her fall, he quickly threw himself at him.

Sigh… … Sigh… … !

At first glance, Ray’s condition did not appear to be very good.

Her complexion was pale because of how much blood shed, and the wound was forcibly clogged with ice, so there was a risk of necrosis.

‘In addition, the state of being poisoned.’

 Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Little by little, red spots were rising on the pale skin.

A symptom of monster poison that says you have to be most careful when dealing with monsters.

Apparently, among the guys who dealt with Ray, there seemed to be someone who had poisoned his sword in advance.

I thought it was kind of weird.

No matter how close to 10 people attacked, there was no way that Ray would be defeated by a mere training swordsman.

‘Fortunately, the poison doesn’t seem to be that strong, but it’ll be dangerous if left like this for a long time. How should I decipher it?’

Theo wanted to help Ray.

I don’t know why Ray ran into a group of ten people.

But one thing was certain.

Ray, whom he had watched so far, was difficult to understand because of his lack of social skills, but he was never a bad person.

It was clear that her injuries were probably caused by trying to stop those who were targeting her.

If so, Theo was indebted to Ray.

However, if there is a problem, the antidote that Theo remembers is that he needs herbs.

However, it was difficult to obtain materials in the winter mountains covered with ice caps.

Then you have to find another way… … .

– Amon awakens the essence of things by expanding the spiritual wavelength.

At that moment, Theo suddenly recalled what Lodbrok had said.

Sorceress Amon.

If so, wouldn’t there be a way somehow?

Theo opened his inventory and took out the magic book.

I’m sorry-

Covers and pages are turned over at high speed,

“Sound is invisible, but it resonates throughout the world, putting the speaker at the center. It puts the caster at the center of the wizarding world… … .”

Theo’s eyes also moved busily at the same time.

By making spirituality form in the visual, it was possible to read and understand quickly.

Magic books were usually magic in themselves. It’s like a moving magic device.

Of course, I thought Amon would too,

aaah-

As expected, each time the bookshelf was turned over, Amon became more and more enveloped in light.

To sum up Amon’s contents, it was very simple.

-The human soul has a kind of wavelength.

-Amon calls this wavelength the ‘voice’ of the soul.

-This voice awakens the latent essence of the desired object, namely ‘Yeom’.

– Objects whose essence has been awakened become part of the caster by synchronizing with the soul.

– Since a connection is made between the soul and objects, this is called ＜incitement＞.

Tring!

‘The power of telekinesis… … !’

Thinking just in case, Theo reached out for Ray’s sword, which was randomly lying on the floor.

Ugh! Whoops!

The sword bounced around and then slowly floated into the air.

At this moment, Theo felt that Ray’s sword and his consciousness were connected.

It feels like we are connected by an invisible thread.

And.

Through that thread, the thoughts that were dormant in Ray’s sword were transmitted piece by piece.

-Gyoryonghoe, Maehwagung… … . Even if that’s the case with the Kyoryuhoe, why are the people of the Maehwa Palace conspiring with the Kyoryukai to target Theo?

Thoughts shed light on the reason for Ray’s injury.

black clothes. Five test takers belonging to the Gyoryonghoe were talking to four test takers dressed in red.

A plum blossom pattern indicating that he belonged to the Maehwa Palace was painted on his chest.

They were talking about something with a serious face, but it was clear that they were plotting something.

So Ray showed up.

I have a very suspicious feeling about something.

-Damn it, why did Sulbingum suddenly appear here!

– So, let’s be careful… … .

– I can’t. let’s garden This news must not reach the ears of the princess.

– It’s better. If we get rid of Seolbinggum as well as Seomho, won’t we have the upper hand in this test?

The candidates from the Gyoryonghoe and Maehwagung exchanged notices with each other, then rushed at Ray.

Because Ray’s skill was so outstanding, he was able to seriously injure more than half of the nine people, but

The problem was that one of the members of the Gyoryonghoe was poisoned with the monster poison applied to his sword, and the victory and defeat were overturned at once.

Apart from skill, it was a mistake caused by a lack of practical experience.

Eventually, Ray admitted his mistake and tried to escape.

– Chase! Catch me!

They chased closely, but not enough to catch Ray.

It was this cave that Ray headed to.

A place I found by chance around the beginning of the flowering ceremony.

It was also a place marked as a resting place because it was inconspicuous from the outside.

“So that’s how it happened.”

After reading all the thoughts, Theo frowned.

It seemed that a large-scale conspiracy was going on to catch him during this second flowering ceremony.

‘There is no way that the Maehwa Palace lord would have moved the applicants belonging to the palace to harm me… … You’re disobeying the order and trying to immerse me.’

Well, it would have been distasteful for them to see the Maehwa Palace lord caring for Theo, who hadn’t taken in any disciples yet.

It must have looked like the rolling stone was pulling out the stone that was stuck in it.

But even so, I would have thought of deceiving the eyes of the princess and moving hand in hand with the enemy.

Do you have the confidence to take care of the back when you get caught later?

‘I know that the Maehwa Palace extremely cares for her people, but that doesn’t mean she’s indecisive.’

Maybe he has the confidence that he can kill and kill.

Just like Hyde’s gang did.

anyway.

Perhaps soon they will follow Ray and come to the vicinity of this cave.

How should I treat them?

It was then that Theo pondered for a moment.

Hwaaa-

‘This?’

Even at this moment, thoughts were passing by as if a photograph was taken continuously.

exactly as before.

inside a cave.

In a place where the entrance was tightly closed, young Ray was training under the soft lighting of the luminous stone as a friend.

Swing the sword, and swing it again.

Until you get blisters on your hands and sores on your feet.

Training never ended.

The various forms Ray drew caught Theo’s eyes.

＜Ice Baekshin Sword＞.

It was a swordsmanship she learned from her master, famous as ‘Bingryong’.

A great vision that enabled me to overcome the cursed constitution of the palatal artery in childhood.

The young Ray didn’t just draw the Ice Vacancy Sword once.

Twice, three times, four times… … Beyond a hundred times, one hundred days, two hundred days… … 1 year, 2 years… … .

He was wielding a sword throughout the training.

And this sword always stuck by her side like that.

when it snows or when it rains

When it’s hard and you want to give up, when you’re lonely, and when you’re in pain from the pain of the palatal artery. always.

It wasn’t just the Ice Vacancy Sword that Ray was training.

Ice Baeksinjang, Icebaeksinbo, Icebaeksin Kwon, Icebaeksinchang, etc. He steadily trained all martial arts using cold air, and even practiced breathing, which is the basis of all of these things.

Thanks to this, Theo unexpectedly had the chance to peep into all of Ray’s seasons, which he called ＜Bingbaekmuryu＞.

Watching other people’s training is a serious crime so serious that it wouldn’t be strange even if a sword strike happened right away.

However, Theo could not come to his senses because he was intoxicated by the beauty of the ice and white radish.

It felt like fireworks were exploding in every corner of my head.

‘It’s a completely different feeling from seeing plum blossoms in full bloom at the Maehwa Palace.’

If plum blossoms boasted splendid and beautiful curves, Bingbaek Mu-ryu felt cold and bloody ‘Han’.

Opposite appearance.

It was full of the will of people who lived in a barren environment.

Thanks to Theo, he was able to step into a new realm in swordsmanship once again.

The desire to jump out immediately and swing the sword was like a chimney.

Then, as his thoughts rewinded, a very young Ray appeared.

Young Ray tried to run away, saying that the house was stuffy.

But I soon regretted it.

The blizzard was so strong that they lost their way.

‘Why is it so familiar?’

Theo narrowed his brows involuntarily.

I felt like I had seen a scene similar to this somehow.

Then, a boy appeared.

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

However, the face that appeared above the scarf was very pretty, like a girl’s.

‘ah.’

It was a face Theo knew.

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

The boy loosened the scarf for the cold-looking girl.

– 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?

The girl’s gaze did not know how to separate from the boy for a long time.

And all thoughts regeneration ended.

“… … .”

It feels like you’ve seen a person’s whole life in place.

‘Ray was that child back then.’

A memory that Theo had long forgotten.

It seemed that it was just a simple consideration for him, but not for Ray.

Thanks to that, he could also understand why Ray hadn’t been away from him for a while.

It was to repay the favor at the time.

It was for that reason that I quarreled with the Gyoryonghoe and Maehwa Palace applicants this time.

“If that’s the case, then I’ve received help.”

Theo murmured softly and looked down at his palm.

Wouldn’t there be a way to help Ray based on this thought he just saw?

As Theo felt, this skill was clearly a fraud.

I didn’t know that reading thoughts meant reading memories contained in objects.

If this is still possible, wouldn’t it be better to select only the weapons of masters and activate their skills?

If so, he would be able to master countless arcane swordsmanships.

-But if you look at this upside down, it also means that you can quickly identify that weakness.

Whoa!

Theo quickly developed his thinking ability by instilling spirituality in his brain gate.

And I thought about it for a long time.

To find a loophole in Bingbaek Mu-ryu.

Whip whi whi… … !

That time when it became so hot that I wondered if my brain would burn out if I stayed like this.

Something flashed and passed quickly through my mind.

It was an inspiration.

Theo quickly put his hand on Ray’s shoulder and infused magic into it.

I had to try something quickly before this inspiration faded.

false and true.

The disadvantages and advantages of Bingbaek Mu-ryu were shown alternately.

Disadvantages grew like a snowball, and strengths were dismantled and piled up on one side of the head.

Theo’s eyes as he looked at Ray flashed with madness.

* * *

“Here… … ?”

Ray opened his eyes in surprise at the feeling of lightness in his body.

Surely your body must have been very heavy before you passed out?

With a curious thought, I examine the wound on my side,

‘Wounds… … doesn’t exist.’

The wound was neatly sutured.

Same with other wounds.

It all healed up like a lie, to the point where it seemed like at least a few months had passed.

What happened?

It was at that time when Ray raised his head while thinking about that.

Hwihwhee-

Just then, there was the sound of a sword swinging outside the cave.

who appeared here?

Ray nervously grabbed the sword that fell on the floor and slowly walked towards it-

could be seen there.

Theo, drenched in sweat, practicing swordsmanship.

‘What I saw before passing out wasn’t a dream.’

However, the sword he drew was somehow familiar.

Ice Vacancy Sword.

However, Theo’s sword resembled the Ice Vacancy Sword, but had a different appearance.

A faster, more flashy, sharper sword.

It looked as if a dragon was making a big splash.

But in Ray’s eyes,

The pretty child, who was like a snowman, grew up quickly and cast off all prejudices and misunderstandings and seemed to have grown up wonderfully.

Because it looks so cool,

Ray could only stand there blankly for a long time, staring at Theo.
