The Bastard’s Way of Life of the Returning Swordsman

Episode 60

nomination ceremony (5)

With each step I took, death beats naturally spread under my feet.

The telekinesis and the movement of the body are organically linked.

Thanks to this, Theo was able to ‘run’ through the sky.

aaah-

“That… … !”

It was Evelyn who was most surprised by that.

Julius had heard that Theo had awakened with telekinesis for an unknown reason at the Flowering Ceremony.

A supernatural ability that can only be expressed with innate talent.

But I only thought the level would be rudimentary, I never thought it would be so natural… … !

“Let’s go, wouldn’t it be embarrassing to miss Master Theo?”

But the surprise is short-lived.

Evelyn tapped Langus on the buttock and urged him to follow him quickly.

Kaaa!

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Langus gave a long roar and flapped his wings wildly, as if he had understood Evelyn’s words.

* * *

Around the time when the distance to Umbra was somewhat closer.

Theo stepped on the death beat vigorously and moved the other death beats while leaping high.

‘good.’

Pod! Pod! Pod! Pod!

A total of four daggers seemed to shoot like arrows, and then thunderbolts exploded with frictional heat in the hot atmosphere.

Kurrureung-

Four thunder dragons appearing at the same time.

kiah?

kyaaak!

The wyverns who had been harassing Umbra also hurriedly turned their heads this way, perhaps feeling the presence of the death beat.

At that moment, the four thunder dragons violently lowered their claws downward.

Chow ah!

＜How to protect the brain dragon – dragon pattern＞

Kieeck!

As the wyverns received great wounds, blood splattered everywhere.

Since most of them belonged to the venomous dragon species and the sokryong species, they were weak and were pushed helplessly.

However, among the dogs, there was also one dragon species mixed in.

The giant dragon species knew that Theo was a problem and pointed its teeth in this direction.

But,

Already then, Theo was attempting to descend with the Drake’s blade in his hand.

＜Three Claws of the Dragon – Nando＞

shush shush-

The power of Zweihander, which was full of mana, was so strong that it was difficult for even the monster dragon species to approach it easily.

Winnie the Pooh-

In the end, when the blade roughly brushed past the nape of the neck, the Goryongjong struggled in pain and tried to escape by flapping its wings wildly.

If it was a wild wyvern, he would have been aiming for Theo until the end, but since he was trained to some extent, he mistook Theo for a member of the 100th Armored Division.

never attack.

In the end, the other guys also chose to run,

Umbra was finally able to catch his breath.

“Are you okay?”

Theo tried to reach Umbra by overcoming the Death Beat, which had returned to the form of a dagger before he knew it.

But.

Kreur… … !

The guy showed a lot of wariness towards Theo who appeared out of nowhere.

Even if he suddenly helped him, he couldn’t understand Theo’s intentions.

What do we do?

Theo paused for a moment before Umbra quickly turned in the opposite direction and ran away.

“ah… … !”

Theo tried to follow him again, but Evelyn came quickly and put him back on top of the langus.

Theo noticed that he had very little time left in the sky.

“It will be difficult to access now because it is full of days. If you’re going to approach me, wouldn’t it be better to approach slowly?”

It was advice given out of concern, but Theo shook his head.

“no. So, rather, you should stay by my side more now.”

“But… … !”

Umbra had never opened her heart to Baek Gap Yonggi, a professional trainer.

So she couldn’t open her heart to Theo she had just met for the first time, Evelyn thought.

But Theo knew it well because he was a loner like Umbra.

What Umbra needed now was ‘warmth’.

-How can you not know the loneliness in your sharp eyes?

‘The reason why I keep circling around the white dragon’s nest even though I keep being rejected from the group… … he’s lonely it’s painful It’s because the wounds of the heart are harder to bear than the physical wounds.’

Just because he was an illegitimate son, he was ostracized by his brothers and almost kicked out of his family.

“Please. chase me I couldn’t go far because I was exhausted.”

Evelyn sighed lightly and moved the langus again.

Theo’s eyes sank deeply.

* * *

As Theo said, finding Umbra wasn’t that difficult.

It was because he had landed on a rocky ground not far away and was breathing heavily.

Kreur… … !

However, he continued to be wary of Theo and Evelyn approaching.

Even if he landed at a fairly far distance and tried to approach slowly, he never gave up an opening.

Should I lure them with food?

Evelynn looked at Langus in frustration, asking for help, but her partner was scratching his head with his hind legs, seemingly not interested.

“wait here. I’ll try. It’s also my aptitude test anyway.”

Theo slowly approached Umbra without listening to Evelyn’s answer.

Kaa!

If Umbra got any closer, he exposed a lot of fangs as if he was going to bite them.

It was said that the blood of the dragon species was mixed, and the murderous intent of a body of nearly 10 meters was very threatening.

It was Wyvern Fear.

‘The area around the nape of the neck was severely bitten. It’s dangerous if we don’t treat it quickly.’

Fortunately, Theo was able to quickly arrange the means for treatment.

‘Shop window.’

[View the shop window.]

A cure was soon found.

+

[Tamer Remedy]

Type: Healing drug, potion

· Conditions for use: Level 5

· effect

– Rapid treatment of aggravated wounds

– Some HP recovery

+

[I paid 2 coins to purchase ‘Tamer Medicine × 2’.]

‘The problem is how to apply this to that guy… … .’

The distance from Umbra was only about 20 meters.

However, it seemed that it would be difficult to approach more because the vigilance did not fade.

‘… … I can’t help it.’

I didn’t want to do this, but I thought I’d treat the wound first and see it.

[I activate ‘Skill: Lesser Drake’s Fear’ to push away the Wyvern Fear!]

Whoa!

When the dragon slash from Theo instantly erased the Wyvern Fear, Umbra flinched in surprise.

Even so, as if he would not lose, his eyes were full of venom, which was to the point of admiration.

However, Theo quickly closed the distance in the meantime and forcibly grabbed the guy’s front legs and pulled them back.

The [Strength] applied to the muscle strength was such that even Umbra couldn’t do anything about it.

Kia… … !

Umbra struggled to let go.

“Stay still, this one. It only hurts more.”

Of course, there was nothing Theo would let go of.

On the contrary, he sprayed the potion over the wound while pressing down with stronger force.

Cheeik!

The bleeding stopped, and the wound began to heal little by little.

Umbra also stopped resisting and just rolled her eyes, as if she felt something.

“Isn’t it nice that the pain suddenly goes away?”

Theo smiled at Umbra’s attitude and opened the rest of the potion to treat other wounds.

hey hey… … .

Umbra’s body trembled at the stimulation that occurred every time the wound healed faster.

Still, there was no more resistance.

“… … .”

-… … .

For a brief moment, a peaceful silence passed between the two.

pounding! pounding! pounding!

thud… … ! thud… … ! thud… … !

Umbra’s heartbeat, which had been beating fast with vigilance, slowed little by little and matched the beat of Theo’s heartbeat.

Theo sensed this change in the guy and smiled.

Breathing as slow as the heart.

All the while listening to it, Theo could feel the many emotions that Umbra had been feeling.

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Loneliness, sadness, pain, anger, sadness, lamentation, regret, lingering… … .

Annoyance and sadness at the group that kicked him out, and tension and loneliness caused by living alone for a long time.

I could read the ironic feeling of not wanting him to leave even while questioning Theo who suddenly appeared and gave him warmth.

Theo didn’t say anything while he tended the wound.

Rather than saying this a hundred times, it was much better to convey the sincerity to the heart.

“… … How did you do it?”

Evelyn approached the side with a look of disbelief and asked if the two of them were amazing.

It was the first time she had ever seen Umbra so calm.

In fact, in the meantime, many riders of the Baekgap Dragon Corps have tried to make Umbra their partner.

No matter how much he was bullied, there was no one who did not covet a fellow with the size and strength of a giant dragon and the characteristics of a beeper.

But Umbra rejected all such courtship.

He hated saddles and reins.

But since Theo was as quiet as him, it was surprising.

“Well.”

Theo smiled as if he didn’t know.

‘Maybe it’s because I have a contract with Lodbrok, so I opened my heart more easily.’

Because dragons instinctively recognize other dragons.

Of course, I couldn’t tell you that speculation, so I immediately changed the subject.

“Rather than that, Evelynn, can you get some food for this guy to eat? I guess I haven’t eaten properly in days.”

Theo pointed at Umbra’s abdomen, where her bony ribs were exposed.

Evelyn nodded heavily.

“Yes. All right.”

Evelynn again drove the Langus soaring into the sky.

“It seems that all urgent fires have been extinguished, but will the remaining scars not be erased?”

Theo gently stroked the nape of Umbra’s neck with his hand, and suddenly found that the boy’s gaze was fixed on his chest.

To be precise, it was the brooch hanging there.

Kirson gave it to me as a graduation gift.

‘Look at this?’

Theo, just in case, unfastened the brooch and held it high.

Umbra’s big eyes rolled upwards.

This time, the arm holding the brooch swung to the right.

Umbra’s eyes rolled back in that direction.

this time to the left.

Degur-

Again, it turned to the left.

Up, down, up, down, diagonal… … .

Every time the brooch was moved, Umbra’s eyes rolled wildly.

“Pahahahaha! what? Wasn’t it because of Lodbroke’s scent that kept you quiet, but because of this?”

Of course, it’s not necessarily like that, but it was fun because the myth that dragons like treasures was true again.

A brooch has a pretty design, but it kept shining with countless jewels on it.

“Do you want one?”

I-

Umbra turned her head slightly to the side as her eyes met Theo’s.

As if he was indifferent to the brooch.

At the same time, looking sideways at the brooch was so cute that it didn’t match his size.

Theo laughed and bought a five-meter iron chain from the shop window and attached a brooch to the end.

Then I wrapped it around Umbra’s neck and made it like a necklace.

Chaeeng-

When I let go of the brooch, it made a loud noise as it lightly collided with the scales.

Kiyuu… … ?

As if Umbra liked the brooch, she carefully touched it with her front paw, then carefully looked at Theo.

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Like why are you giving me this?

“Gift.”

What’s up?

“If you follow me, you can have more of these things in the future… … how?”

Theo didn’t miss Umbra’s pupils trembling for a moment.

“It’s not just this. Have you ever seen a ruby the size of your palm? The bright colors are also very pretty. I wonder if it would be okay to cut it off and put it on your toenails? In addition, the headband that my mother has… … !”

Umbra’s pupils widened as Theo told them one by one.

“You can fill all of the reins and saddles that you don’t like.”

Hey!

Umbra jumped up from her seat.

The sight of her crying for a long time while looking up at the sky seemed to strongly insist that we go see them right away.

Tring!

[You have succeeded in being recognized as the owner by the Beeper Wyvern.]

[A new skill has been created.]

+

[Wyvern Taming]

· Grade: C-

· Proficiency: 1%

· Effect: The higher the proficiency, the higher the confidence of the polyp that succeeded in taming. Power increases by 10% when boarding.

+

Theo unknowingly burst into laughter.

This is because he succeeded in earning Umbra’s favor completely.

In particular, this skill seemed to be of great help in being active as a dragon knight in the future.

10% power increase.

This was never something to look at lightly.

It meant that not only his stats, but also his skills would increase by that much.

‘In addition, it’s not just limited to wyverns, but it applies to a wide range of ‘dragons’… … Doesn’t that mean that it can be used not only for wyverns but also for other dragon species?’

If so, it meant that he could tame not only Wyverns, but also Death Worms in the desert, Drakes on the ground, and Sea-Serpents in the sea, so it was sure to be a great power.

Of course, there always seemed to be certain conditions for taming, but I didn’t think I had to worry too much about that.

It wouldn’t be easy to get treasure into Umbra right away, but there was a bar in mind.

‘That’s it, Kirson-sama will take care of everything.’

Theo was already thinking of handing over the part-time treatment (?) to the capitalist slave elf.

Is it because of that?

that very moment.

Burr!

Kirson stopped counting the gold coins and shivered with a sudden chill.
