The Bastard’s Way of Life of the Returning Swordsman

Episode 75

Iljimae (一枝梅) (5)

gulp-

Theo involuntarily swallowed dry saliva.

‘Demon Dragon’s Sword… … .’

Theo was clearly targeting his father Kyle’s sword.

However, it was Julius who made him decide to enter the true path of the sword.

It was because I was able to draft ＜Dragon’s Claw＞ following the trajectory he drew.

he who did,

The demon dragon Julius was trying to teach him.

So I tried to suppress the tension that I was unconsciously feeling,

thump thump!

His heart never calmed down.

It also meant that it was the moment Theo had hoped for.

Whoa-

Theo took a long breath and opened his mouth slowly.

A thought popped into my mind whenever I thought of Julius’ sword.

“I think the dragon’s sword is ‘violence’.”

Ho?

Julius’ face turned grim, as if it was an answer he hadn’t thought of at all.

“Why do you think so?”

“Because that is the essence of ‘evil’.”

short answer.

For a very short time there was a deep silence.

And,

Fisik!

Julius laughed bitterly.

“… … I think I know why the Maehwa Palace made such an offer for you. Your eyes are really unique.”

It was then.

What changed the world around Theo and Julius?

Whoa!

glass space.

Julius’ signature opened.

Theo stood upon a world in ruins, where everything was charred and broken.

In a way, it seemed to be similar to the world of black dragons, where the smell of death was blowing.

‘no. different.’

Not at all in Theo’s eyes.

In the first place, the essence was different.

The world the black dragon saw was also one of the laws of nature.

But not here.

Demon.

It was a world where everything was messed up.

It was a world that could not exist.

“You are right. That is the nature of ‘Ma’. Violence, destruction, ruin, apocalypse… … . It is the darkness itself that makes humans immersed in fear and anxiety.”

At that time, Julius appeared and held a sword in his hand.

Shh shh-

He lightly lowered his sword into the air.

A very simple route.

“How was the sword of the Maehwa Palace you saw?”

“It was gorgeous and beautiful.”

“Right. The Sword of the Maehwa Palace contains the essence of ‘life’. The process of germinating from a seed and growing rapidly into a splendid flower expresses life itself. smooth and fast That is why sword grass is mainly composed of curves and circles.”

Julius’ explanation continued.

The speed of the sword also gradually increased.

“But my sword is the opposite. It consists of only straight and oblique lines. there’s no going back There is no way to dodge or shed. When they collide, there is only one. Break or break.”

There is a heavy history in the speeding sword grass.

Little by little, the skin became itchy.

“That’s why I want my sword to be stronger and more overwhelming. Pour everything out at once. I will never back down.”

At first glance, Theo recalled the slogan of Baek Gap Yonggidae.

indomitable. no retreat.

No surrender, no retreat.

That teaching was already melted into his swordsmanship.

“This is the Demon Dragon’s sword.”

Wedge liquid! Wedge liquid! Wedge liquid!

Julius’ sword began to erupt as it was immersed in the light.

spectroscopy.

It seemed as if the light had been chopped into dozens of pieces.

Flash! Flash! Flash!

Quarreung-Quarreung-Quarreung-

With every flash of light, overwhelming destruction followed with thunderous sounds that shook the ground.

The ground has been severely eroded, revealing canyons, and hills splitting, leaving only pits.

It seemed as if an apocalyptic disaster had descended upon the world.

Julius, surrounded by the jet-black dragon, was unleashing a tremendous amount of murder.

“… … !”

Theo was startled and backed away.

In the meantime, Julius, who had only shown a good person, was nowhere to be seen.

Only the evil spirits that do nothing but violence and destruction stand there.

rumble… … !

Before I knew it, the pitch-black life of the demon dragon was covering the red sky.

I wondered if I would suffocate if I stayed like this.

Faaa!

Suddenly, some of the magic poison left in my body wriggled, and my mind felt refreshed.

and a new sight.

‘… … that one?’

The sword grass that Julius was sowing began to show little by little, but it was somehow familiar.

The momentum and destructive power are different, but the common vision of the Baek Gap Dragon Corps that we saw many times during this mission.

“＜A bunch of sword strikes＞… … !”

Along with Theo’s self-talk, the magic dragon’s frenzy also stopped.

aaah-

A cloud of dust sweeps over where Theo once stood,

Julius laughed as he returned the sword to its scabbard.

“As much as you saw the essence of demons, you also saw this too, right? It’s called ＜Demon Dragon Six Art＞.”

“Wasn’t it a bunch of sword attacks?”

“That’s right too.”

cryptic words.

However, Theo soon realized the meaning and his eyes changed.

“It seems that sword strikes were the foundation of Demonic Dragon training.”

Julius shook his head.

“no. I’ll fight back Demon dragon training is the basis for a bunch of sword attacks.”

“… … !”

Julius let out a chuckle, probably because Theo’s reaction was cute.

“This is what the demonic dragon yukye looks like without magic.”

shush shush-

Julius again drew his sword several times.

Sword grass full of only straight and oblique lines.

It seemed like a simple basic swordsmanship.

“The Demon Dragon Training is a kind of shell. Its shape changes depending on what you put in it. The guys from the Baegapryonggi will be a bunch of swordsmen because they put their swordsmanship here.”

“… … .”

Theo swallowed dryly.

Julius said it was nothing, but in reality it wasn’t like that at all.

‘He just presented the vision he had spent his whole life to the unit?’

It was something that would never have been imagined in a normal samurai family.

“Doesn’t it seem strange that I just gave up my sword for nothing?”

“Yes… … . Because there is no such precedent… … .”

“There’s no law saying you shouldn’t do it just because there’s no precedent.”

Julius’ mischievous smile widened.

“Actually, this is not just me. Baekgap Yonggi Corps, the whole is doing that.”

“… … !”

“As long as it is not a secret to be kept for family or private reasons, all members of the crew usually do not hesitate to share their visions and realizations in this way. Rather, we discuss what we have been blocked together and come up with new solutions. Or, I get an unexpected external stimulus and seek another way.”

“… … .”

“The vision cannot be simply hidden. Share, discuss, refute. You also have to analyze, find problems, find solutions and complement them. And in the process, we get to know each other more deeply.”

“ah… … !”

“The Demon Dragon Cultivation is a vision born to create such a foundation. Each member of the crew melts a different realization into it. and share together. That’s why the Demonic Dragon Training continues to develop, and the sword strike team always wins and wins. This is the reason Baekgap Yonggidae can always be invincible.”

Theo felt that something blunt had hit him hard in the back of the head.

-Share the vision.

It was a completely unexpected change of thinking.

Traditionally, vision is like a prosecutor’s life. It is not easy to share with parents and children… … Because it was common sense.

‘But rather, because we share that kind of life with each other, we can create a strong camaraderie like this.’

In other words, all Baek Gap Yong Gidae were the children and disciples of Julius.

Theo let out a laugh.

“… … Aren’t you worried about betrayal?”

“Why? Could it leak out and create a law to break us?”

“Yes. Could it be?”

“First of all, there hasn’t been a traitor yet… … . Well, if you’re going to do it, say so. By that time, both the demon dragon training and the sword attack bundle will be different from before. Rather, it is welcome because it can be more different thanks to the law of destruction. And.”

Julius smiled mischievously.

“Doesn’t knowing the secret recipe make you an SSS-level chef right away?”

Confidence that you will never lose even if you lose all your money.

No, it showed arrogance.

No matter how likable Julius was, it seemed that he was the swordsman representing Ragnar after all.

“It is for that reason that I rejected the offer of the Maehwa Palace Lady the other day.”

Maehwagungju’s suggestion?

What else could this mean?

“Princess Maehwa told me. Wouldn’t you like to make yourself and my co-existence?”

“… … !”

Whole person. means disciple.

In other words, the lord of the plum blossoms proposed to Julius to make Theo a common disciple.

“You have already come into my arms and have become like my disciple and family, so what is the need? Rather, it only shakes the discipline of the unit. So, instead, I told the Maehwa Palace lord to make me a disciple if he wanted to be a Jeong disciple.”

“Then the reason why Iljimae came to me… … .”

“I heard you already had plum blossoms in full bloom? I just mixed up what I originally wanted to convey on the way to ＜24 Numbers Maehwagum＞. Of course, as much as the two of them put their heads together, the depth would be different. That is your blessing.”

thump thump… … !

Theo’s heart beat wildly.

Julius said no, but handing over Iljimae meant that in the end, he would make Theo his co-prince with the Maehwa Palace!

Julius straightened his sword again.

“Starting today, I will teach you horse training for an hour. But be careful. Touching the essence of ‘E’ would be a very difficult task.”

Theo nodded heavily and raised Drake’s blade.

This was also a surprise.

No matter what, he wanted to obtain Julius’s sword.

“’Ma’ is so vicious that it sometimes eats its owner.”

As soon as the words are finished,

Faaa… … !

With Julius at the center, jet-black momentum began to fly.

thump thump thump!

Theo squeezed Drake’s blades tightly, creating a magical resonance.

It seemed that being a teacher would never be easy.

* * *

an hour later.

Theo left Julius’s office exhausted.

“Are you okay?”

At Evelyn’s question, Theo weakly shook his head.

“It tastes like death… … .”

“There is a harsh side to the captain’s guidance. Rather, there are many times when I enjoy the moment, so it’s better to be more careful in the future.”

Certainly, Julius was very amused when Theo was suffering.

The first teaching time is like this, but will it be more difficult in the future?

Theo laughed involuntarily.

‘still… … I’ve learned all the basics of Demonic Dragon Training. Little by little, the parts I didn’t understand began to unravel.’

Even though it was hard, it felt so good.

More than anything,

The words Julius said during the swordsmanship instruction kept ringing in my ears.

-Do you have a reason for doing this?”

-That’s why I’m doing this… … . Well. I’ve never thought about it that deeply. I’m just copying what I’ve learned from the Head of Household.

When asked if there was an opportunity to share his vision, Julius answered.

‘I never thought my father would come out of there.’

-Everything about me came from the family head. So just return it to where it came from.

Julius’s warm voice showed absolute trust and loyalty to Kyle.

– I’m so greedy.

Theo felt that way.

himself in the distant future. Could I meet someone like Julius in the process of sitting on the throne?

And can I get this kind of trust and loyalty?

‘I must work harder so that I can meet such a person.’

Fortunately, I seemed to have met the right person.

Isn’t there his ‘first sword’ right next to him?

“More than that, Theo, as you requested, the captives were all locked up in the dungeon without any interrogation. Is it okay if we keep it like this?”

Evelyn changed the topic.

I’m talking about the Central Security Agency agents who were captured in Fort Blanky.

Baekgap Yonggidae has yet to find out the exact identity of them.

It was because the identities of Sidra and the agents were thoroughly hidden in the first place.

So I had to do a separate interrogation.

Theo objected.

“Leave it for now and just watch. You will see an interesting situation soon.”

“Also. Do you know who the culprit is?”

Theo didn’t answer, just smiled.

Evelynn let out a deep sigh and pressed her temple with her index finger.

“What are you thinking… … . Still, I’ll be watching as instructed. but i can’t wait long Because the crew won’t understand.”

“You don’t have to worry. It won’t last more than three days at the most, and I will take the bait.”

Theo’s eyes sank deeply.

‘Because I won’t let go of the part of Hangryong’s personality that could be his weakness.’

It was Theo’s judgment that Ed would somehow move to make things right.

Then it will start in earnest from then on.

Theo and Ed. A political battle between the two.

‘That’s why, before the full-scale political battle begins, I should make sure that the Maehwa Palace lord is also on my side.’

-After my swordsmanship instruction, go straight to Maehwa Palace. Maehwa Palace, you must be very anxious by now, right?

I still cannot forget the scenery of ＜Rain of Flowers in the Sky＞ that the Maehwa Palace showed me last time.

So, I’m going to move to the Maehwa Palace.

Tring!

Suddenly, several messages filled my field of vision.
