The Bastard’s Way of Life of the Returning Swordsman

Episode 68

Baegap Yonggidae (3)

The white dragons all at once released the devices hanging from their feet.

magic bullet.

It was a gunpowder bomb with an explosion magic engraved on it, and it was a weapon often used in air raids by the Baekgap Dragon Base.

Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwam-

Rush!

As soon as the magic bullets all hit the designated point, a huge explosion shook the fortress.

The broken fortress collapsed, and fire soared everywhere.

A roar shook the place.

– It’s a red raid!

-membrane… … ! Aagh!

-Uh, where are you?

-sky! It’s the sky!

The soldiers guarding the citadel were horrified by the sudden attack.

I guessed that an additional Baek Gap-yong corps would be dispatched in the near future, but

I never thought that I would attempt an attack like this from the sky where I couldn’t see well.

-Those crazy things… … Could it be that you don’t care at all about having hostages… … !

While the complexion of the executives who read the intention of Baek Gap Yonggi Corp belatedly became blue,

Quarreureung-

As the magic bullets continuously rained down, the Blanqui Fortress was destroyed in half at once.

And,

bang! bang! bang! bang!

Taking advantage of the confusion, an airlift operation began.

Thirty-three members of the Baekgap-yonggi attempted to descend all at once.

Every time the crew landed on the ground, a tremendous earthquake spread.

As if a cannon had exploded, dust and smoke flew over the ground,

Their eyes, revealed under the contrasting white helmets, shone unusually like ogre fire.

“Kill them all.”

Faaat-

Following Evelyn’s command, the crew began moving along their assigned routes.

A swift action to hit the command post at once.

Chow ah!

Every time the pure white sword flashed like lightning, screams were heard from everywhere.

– aaah!

– Hundred packs! Wait for the back pack!

– Block the entrance, come on!

-That, that’s why it’s pushing recklessly… … Kruck!

Black Skull’s terrorists fell helplessly.

Some even attempted to threaten the hostages with their lives, but each time they returned, it was a brutal slash.

Red puddles filled the seat where the crew passed.

A white storm filled the citadel.

“Everyone must have heard of it from the captain, but I will explain it one more time. Our goal is to rescue the hostages. However, since the lives of the members are more important than the hostages, if it is not possible, the hostages will give up without mercy.”

Selford’s electric sound caught the ears of the three newcomers.

Erica was smiling, perhaps excited by the fact that she was put into action as soon as the unit was deployed.

Holcus, on the other hand, was gripping his sword tightly to calm his pounding heart.

And,

Theo was expressionless.

‘Isn’t it really the first time you’ve been put into practice? Just like I’ve experienced… … !’

Arin looked at Theo from the side and laughed.

Usually, there were two reactions from newcomers in the first mission.

Either I have high expectations like Erica, or I am so nervous like Holcus that I can’t show my skills properly.

But Theo was too calm.

Calm eyes… … Rather, it seemed to see a veteran captain.

‘Ah, what am I thinking? does that make sense? It’s an experience only Evelyn-sama had. It’s probably because he’s naturally less nervous.’

Arin, who had always admired Evelynn, shook her head.

“Then, put in.”

In the meantime, Selford’s order was given,

bang! bang! bang! bang! bang!

Five people landed on top of the castle.

The floor above the blue point where the hostages were identified.

“An enemy appeared here too… … !”

Just in time, the soldier guarding the area escaped with his head in the hands of the relentless Shelford.

“The road is drilled in front of me and Arin. The three of you cover the back.”

dig-

Shelford and Arin led the way, Theo and Erica left and right, and the big Holkes at the back.

A wedge-shaped (∧) formation that has been practiced a lot over the past three days.

It was effective for breaking through the shortest distance.

bang! bang! Kwaaang-

Selford and Arin destroyed everything that got in their way.

Whether it was a person or a wall.

‘It’s unforgiving.’

Theo clicked his tongue lightly as he watched the two attack from behind.

It was the first time for him to observe the Baegapyonggi from the side performing its mission as it was only soaking in the black snow.

But I could see why so many forces in the north, even the 6th Seolga, were afraid of the Baegapyongdae.

Veterans who infiltrate the combat zone and carry out operations regardless of the environment, such as terrain and features.

Of course, to his enemies, he would only be seen as the messenger of hell.

Even more so, the anger of the angels who lost their colleagues was even greater.

[Observes ‘Selford Gardner’.]

Shelford Gardner (27 years old/male)

Title: Gray-Haired Monstrous Sword

· Talent: Bastard. free-spirited. dissatisfaction with the system. I hate nerds. scoundrel. half bone.

· Status: I am very angry at the news of the death of the leader I respected.

+

[Observe the ‘Arin Negative’.]

Arin Negative (26 years old/female)

· Title: Wind Sword

· Talent: Blast. Short sword specialization. low stone (猪突). fellowship unity. spirit of sacrifice.

· Status: The three new recruits are nervous about their first mission, so they can’t show their skills, and they worry that they will harm their colleagues.

+

In the status window, the talents of Selford’s [Scoundrel] and Arin’s [Reckless] stood out.

For some reason, it seemed to be the best word for the two of them.

‘Selford’s pitch is straight, Arin’s is curvy. Is it the form of Shelford breaking through and Arin supporting it? The sum fits so well. Do they work together a lot in everyday life?’

The swordsmanship used by the two was clearly the common vision of Baegapyonggidae, ＜sword strike bundle＞.

A unique form of swordsmanship that unleashes dozens of sword strikes in one breath.

Theo hadn’t been taught due to lack of training time yet, but he was already receiving various inspirations on how to apply it.

Their swordsmanship, which came out only through fierce battles, was already a beautifully shining perfection in itself.

Chow ah-

In the meantime, the five people were able to reach their destination at once,

Quaang!

With Holcus’ force, the entire wall was destroyed, revealing the room where the hostages were confined.

-Bae, 100 gab-yong!

– Ragnar! Ragnar is here!

-hurray! You can buy now!

Confused by the sudden situation, the hostages greeted the group with thrilled faces.

On the other hand, Selford’s impression hardened.

‘The number of hostages is incorrect.’

Apparently, the number of hostages he shared was twenty in all.

But there were only twelve people here.

It means that he was taken to another place or died while resisting.

But still, I couldn’t help it.

“Please do not move in haste, and follow us one by one.”

“there… … There are still people who have been pulled to other places other than here… … !”

“There are already rescuers moving that way too. There is no time. Please hurry up.”

“Yes, yes!”

It was a lie, of course.

But it was true that there was no time.

The Black Skull as known so far was nothing more than a fledgling terrorist organization.

Seeing how he hurt Trainer and his colleagues, it was a place that should never be taken lightly.

Right now, they were in a state of confusion due to a surprise attack, but they didn’t know what kind of resistance they would face if they were to deal with it.

So I had to move in there somehow.

[Expands the detection area of ‘Skill: Hatchling Synchro’!]

Hwaaak!

Theo helped Selford guide the hostages, keeping his senses up.

– There may be a Balmung here somewhere.

During this short time infiltrating the fortress, he had to somehow locate and retrieve Balmung.

‘Not in this room. Were the items from the upstream stored in a different place? Or dispose of it?’

There is no time to search.

Should I ask the hostages?

Making it look like it’s your mission to get things back?

No, that’s not okay.

There were a lot of eyes watching from the side, like Shelford and Arin.

I don’t know how to get over it now, but I’ll definitely ask about the recovered items later.

I had to do it secretly.

Unbeknownst to others.

‘Or should I destroy the entire fortress and come back later?’

That might be the way too.

However, you have to think about how to collapse the fortress.

That means it’s impossible right now.

‘Shit. the way… … !’

It was just then that Theo’s head was getting complicated.

thump thump-

Suddenly, Theo’s heart beat like crazy.

An uneasy feeling that makes your spine stand up.

‘… … what?’

The senses the dragon’s heart gives are sometimes as intuitive as those of wild animals.

That feeling was talking.

– There’s something!

Theo, guided by his intuition, swung Drake’s blade at the empty side wall.

The moment Erica next to me was about to ask why,

Suddenly, as if it had been promised, the wall exploded like a firecracker.

Kwaaang!

Chaaang-

The giant hammer that was about to break through the wall and target the hostages was pushed back as it collided with Drake’s blade.

‘Kuu! Incredible power… … !’

Theo, too, lost his balance and stumbled backwards.

Enough to push away [superpower].

Who are you?

“Sheesh, sorry! I tried to hit you at once. Do you think there was another guy with the same senses as me?”

Pushing away the dust that was blowing in the grass, a giant appeared.

Holding a warhammer in one hand, he licked his lips and glanced around, causing the hostages to contemplate and tremble.

“author! That’s me! He’s locked us up here… … ! They dragged other people!”

One of the hostages screamed as he pointed at the giant.

Shelford quickly cut a severance between the giant and the hostages.

“A bald hammer?”

In an instant, the giant’s face contorted mercilessly.

“Fuck! Out of so many nicknames, why are you calling me that! Anyway, you bastard Ragnar, you have to kill them all so they won’t listen to that!”

“Why is someone like you here? Were you the Black Skull’s hidden helper?”

“Well. Those of you who are proud should guess, right?”

The giant sneered, raising one corner of his mouth.

Selford didn’t answer and quietly took a nosedive.

The ‘bald hammer’ slow gang.

Contrary to his ridiculous nickname, he was a notorious terrorist-dissident in the north.

Shelford alone couldn’t guarantee a match because his skills were so good.

Arin stood next to Selford and gripped his sword tightly.

“If we collide, jump right away.”

Arin’s request stuck in the ears of the three newcomers.

“Why? To steal hostages while I get my attention? Not like that!”

Slow sneered as if he knew what you were thinking, then suddenly turned and sprinted towards the hostages.

To be precise, it was where Theo and Erica siblings were.

“this… … !”

Shelford and Arin turned their bodies toward it, feeling sorry for them, but

Already, Slow was almost at a different state with the three newcomers.

Wedge love!

An intimidating appearance, like a battering ram trying to pierce a castle gate.

By the way,

“Thanks to that, it will be easier to find things.”

“… … !?”

Facing him head-on, Theo was rather smiling.

Pajijijik!

The moonbaek sword was pulled out.

With a lot of thunderbolts as dark as pitch black.
