The Bastard’s Way of Life of the Returning Swordsman

Episode 45

Secrets of the Totem (5)

Kurr-

Dust clouds soaring high in the sky.

Theo approached the fallen Axion, covered in blood.

Breathing is severe.

The guy with the whites turned upside down looked as if he would run out of breath at the slightest touch.

Whoops, whoops-

Moonbaek Sword let out a cry.

As if to go ahead and cut him.

while whining about being hungry.

Theo narrowed his eyes.

Both in the previous life and in the present life, Theo had many things he wanted to say to him.

Are you really the one who hurt your mother?

Is it related to the guys who attacked me in my previous life?

However, these are all unnecessary questions to ask here, so I quietly raised my moonlight sword.

The moment you want to come down,

“Stop that hand!”

Suddenly, a high-pitched voice rang out from the sky, and four shadows fell.

Every single thing!

Two drew their swords to block Theo’s way, while the other two checked Axion’s condition.

‘They’re the examiners from the faction on the side of the Central Secretariat.’

Theo’s eyes, looking at each and every one of them, were suddenly young.

That moment,

Tring!

[The quest has arrived.]

+

[Tutorial Quest #16]

Defeat ‘Axion Ragnar’ from the enemies who stand in your way.

· Difficulty: B

· Reward: 1 Coin

· In case of failure: ■■

+

‘Another coin reward quest? In addition, the content is to deal with Axion Ragnar… … . It means that it must be completed.’

The difficulty level was a grade B.

Theo thought it was better.

In the first place, he had no intention of just letting Axion go.

“What is the condition of test taker Axion Ragnar?”

“It is in critical condition. Even the phenomenon of magical power regurgitation is being detected, so it seems that it needs to be transferred to the doctor’s office urgently.”

The examiner’s voice trembled as he probed Axion’s pulse.

It was because Axion’s condition was not good.

It was clear that he would die in just a few minutes.

The slander of Axion Ragnar, who has been proud of his skills among the 4 northern ranks for a long time.

It was an unfortunate incident that would undoubtedly cause great disturbance if known to the outside world.

“Are you still going to block me? I know that the test is not over yet.”

Theo asked in a nonchalant tone, looking at the two examiners who still refused to give way.

The complexions of the examiners who were blocking him hardened.

“The purpose of this test is to check how well the candidates cooperate and how well they plan and plan when hunting monsters. There shouldn’t have been any content telling you to kill your colleagues and kill each other, right?”

food-

Theo let out a laugh.

Their intentions were too obvious.

“There shouldn’t have been anything about not arguing.”

“what… … ?”

“And among the evaluation items of this test, there is not only teamwork among team members, but also the process of how to gain an advantage in competition between teams.”

“… … So you tried to harm the Axion test taker?”

“It’s just a fight between teams.”

“That doesn’t justify killing.”

“I am a caution that does not leave room for anyone to hold onto my ankles. It’s just a check for that.”

“However, the quarrel ended with you and the candidate Rey winning, and it seems that the Axion candidate will not be able to harm you during the remaining test period.”

“Looks like it’s my job to judge that, not the examiner?”

“What?”

The examiner frowned.

It was annoyed that the candidate, who was just a bastard, didn’t lose, didn’t get enough of talking back, and even tried to ignore authority.

“Captain!”

Then, he suddenly came to his senses at the transmission of his subordinate holding Axion in his arms.

For now, the only thought was to save the master’s nephew first.

“Hurry up and take test taker Axion Ragnar to the emergency room!”

“luck… … !”

It was the exact moment when the subordinate was about to stand up with Axion.

Chow ah!

I was startled and had to take a step backwards instead of trying to move.

It was because the dragon’s claws shot from the Moonbaek Sword nicked his front before he knew it.

“There is still no definitive verdict on this case. Let no one leave until a decision has been made.”

Whip whi… … !

Theo’s eyes were fiercely shining as he hung down the steamy moonlight sword.

The examiner’s face flushed red with anger.

“It is the legitimate right of an examiner to make a judgment about an accident that occurred during an exam. If you wish to file an objection, proceed through the procedure after all examinations have been completed. If you still try to interfere, I will disqualify you for obstruction of public affairs and transfer you to the Law Office.”

I won’t be able to fuss anymore There will be no more painful blow to the candidates for the Flowering Ceremony than disqualification.

The examiner is trying to let Suha notice.

Whoa!

[‘Skill: Lesser Drake Fear’ confronts the hostile.]

“You bastard!”

Theo’s flesh-tingling intent to kill grabbed them by the ankles.

Cha Cha Cha Chang!

In the end, all four examiners drew their swords to ignore Theo and leave.

“In a sacred flowering ceremony where external intervention should be minimized, ‘public duty’ with private standards? You guys really came out of the boat.”

But Theo said that he would not lose, and he raised his will to kill even more.

At this moment, he was dealing with them not as a test taker, but as a successor.

And,

“That is very true.”

It signaled that another shadow fell behind Theo.

The number of shadows is three.

However, if it was much stronger than the examiners of the Central Security Agency faction, it was strong, but never small.

‘The people of the Baekgap Yonggidae… … !’

Theo could intuitively sense their belonging.

The temperament exuded from Julius was quite similar.

Relaxing yet reminiscent of the lofty sky.

And yet, the momentum that reminds me of a sharp and pointy dragon.

“Selford! Could it be that you want to fight swords with us!”

A man with white hair who looked good on him, Selford, an examiner belonging to Baek Gap Yonggi University, shed a sneer.

“What else can I do? Didn’t you say it with your mouth a moment ago? Judgment on mishaps is the legitimate right of the examiner.”

“… … !”

“I believe that the examiner’s involvement in this matter is an abuse of rights beyond the permitted level. So put him down and back off. If there is an objection, proceed through formal procedures after all exams are over.”

The Central Security Agency examiner, Tyrone’s face turned redder.

I couldn’t help but be angry because I got back what I said.

The problem was that anyone who challenged his judgment didn’t end there.

“We agree with Examiner Shelford.”

Like petals falling down, there were those who fell with a quiet step.

This time, they were examiners belonging to Maehwa Palace.

Their numbers are all four.

“There was a rule that when there was a difference of opinion between the examiners, the situation was judged by a vote of the examiners in the neighboring area.”

Natasha, an examiner belonging to the Maehwa Palace, looked over Tyrone and the gang with cool eyes.

“Anyway, Examiner Selford’s argument seems to be more credible, so Examiner Tyrone recommends that you drop Axion and step back. If you don’t want to cause any misunderstanding.”

It was a recommendation, but it was tantamount to a threat to use force if it was not followed.

Even if there were few people who properly guarded it, the examiners had a duty of neutrality.

Crunchy!

Tyrone pondered for a moment as he grinded his teeth.

According to Selford and Natasha, he cannot leave Axion behind.

If that happened, Axion would really die, so they would probably have to take the responsibility.

Even so, it was unreasonable to collide with the seven of them.

I don’t know if I can kill everyone and shut my mouth.

Power wise, it was difficult.

then?

‘damn! I have no choice but to die on the spot.’

Tyrone chose to sacrifice the three of them.

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Let’s somehow get Axion and the subordinate who embraced him out of this place.

If so, even if they die here, the lord will somehow protect the rest of the family.

One day you will pay your enemies back.

They had that much faith in Ed Troyban.

After all, glances quickly come and go between them,

“now!”

Faaat-

Tyrone and the other two rushed at Selford and Natasha with all their might, while Axion’s subordinates ran in the opposite direction.

“What the hell are these looking at us for!”

Selford did not jump out with a sneering look on his face, but hardened his expression.

It was because the momentum of Tyrone and the like was unusual.

“Selford test tube! Unfold your aura shield, come on!”

Natasha read Tyrone’s intentions and shouted urgently.

Thick veins protruded along the pale complexion.

The premonitory symptoms of ＜regurgitation blast hole＞ were clear.

A self-destruction technique that raises the realm to several levels or more by forcibly reversing mana.

“Troivan, live forever!”

Selford gritted her teeth and sprayed an aura in front of her, spreading her sword screen wide, and Natasha and the maehwa palace examiners sprayed their swords on Tyrone and others at once.

It was an attempt to somehow block their access.

However, Tyrone and others, who had already neglected their lives, closed the gap with them regardless of their injuries,

Tadadadang-

A sharp gust of wind whirled and began to claw in all directions.

Snowflakes scattered randomly.

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!

By the way,

nettle liquid-

Suddenly, Tyrone was about to collide with Shelford, but on the way he swerved and fell sideways.

Shelford then realized Tyrone’s intention and screamed.

-Tyron was flying at Theo at high speed.

“Alas! Theo! Protect Theo Ragnar!”

The eyes of Natasha and others also hurriedly focused there.

I threw my sword in that direction, but it was already too late.

‘No matter what happens, you must take him with you! If left alive, he will definitely become a hindrance to Troy-Ban’s cause… … !’

Tyrone’s eyes were red with bloodshot eyes.

“Die, Theo Ragnar!”

Tyrone’s sharp sword reached Theo in an instant.

Shelford and Natasha suffered large and small injuries at once from the hasty sword strikes, but they could not stop him.

By the way,

Even then, Theo strangely showed no sign of surprise, even in the face of death.

As if it’s none of your business.

Rather, I just stretched out my hand that had nothing in front of me.

what?

Just before cutting Theo’s head, Tyrone had that thought.

It was only later that I realized why.

-Theo wasn’t looking at him.

Theo was pulling on the empty empty space.

As if it had an invisible hook in its hand.

[‘Skill: Hatchling Synchro’ pulls the target with telekinesis force!]

just now,

Theo was imagining it as the hand of a giant who showed no telekinesis.

The moment he pretended to grab the backs of Axion and the Central Security Office examiner, who were fleeing far away, with the hands of a giant and pull them hard.

The two of them were violently thrown backwards with a tremendous force of gravity and rolled over the cold snowy field.

Faaat-

Theo was able to fly high in the sky with the recoil and pass over the heads of Tyrone and the like in an instant.

Chow!

Tyrone’s sword narrowly swept the spot where Theo was.

It’s a feat that is hard to describe in words even after seeing it with your own two eyes.

Regardless of the enemy, all the eyes of the examiners, including Tyrone, were directed upward.

“No way!”

As Tyrone’s scream spreads,

Theo was falling precisely in the direction of Axion and his subordinate while drawing a parabola.

The moonbaek sword exploded as it was once again submerged in the light.

Chow ah!

* * *

‘Captain… … ! Your sacrifice will never be forgotten!’

As Suha ran with Axion on her back, she forcibly wiped away the flowing tears.

This humiliation will pay off someday.

When I made that promise,

“Uh, uh… … ?”

Suddenly, I felt as if an invisible force was pulling me back violently.

Before he had time to shake off that power, he was rolling in the cold snow with Axion at the moment he was at a loss.

‘How did it happen… … !’

The boy’s thoughts did not last long.

Even before that, the sky was already covered in pure white light.

Quarreureung-

The dragon’s claws were not enough to blow off the heads of Axion and his subordinates, and even swept through the white snow field.

In the midst of the steam blowing from the tremendous frictional heat,

widely!

Theo landed on the ground red with blood.

“… … !”

“… … !”

“Oh, no! No, no! Axion Niiyim!”

The figure standing on the white and red earth,

So cold and alien,

Also, because it is beautiful,

People had to stare at Theo in awe for a long time.

Tyrone screamed in shock as Shelford and Natasha stared at Theo, bewildered.

And in the meantime, the maintenance time of the reflux blast hole was over, and it began to age rapidly.

“Like this… … not… … be… … !”

Meantime,

Theo was checking out a new reward.

Tring!

Tring!

[Congratulations! You successfully completed Tutorial Quest #16 by overcoming overwhelmingly unfavorable circumstances.]

[Rating: A+]

[Your level has risen.]

[You have exceeded level 20.]

[I got 1 coin as a reward.]

[You have acquired the right to use ＜Shop＞ as an additional reward based on evaluation.]

‘shop?’

Coins and shops.

Somehow, I thought that there must be some connection between the two.

Theo put his hand toward the shop window.
