The Bastard’s Way of Life of the Returning Swordsman

Episode 81

hilda ragnar (1)

The dungeon of the Baekgap Yonggidae.

Evelynn was practicing stealth in the corridor where the guards were busy coming in and out.

‘They say they’re going to move to cut off their tails…’ … Is it really?’

Evelyn had been waiting here for four hours without an appointment.

Although it was because of Theo’s instructions, she was in a state of doubt whether this was really true.

It was no other place, it was the dungeon of Baegapyonggidae.

Even if the liver of the spies came out of the ship, would they force themselves to raid this place?

However, it was worth it to lose money, and there was nothing to lose by digging traps, so I waited for the time being.

‘Thanks to that, I was able to find a new way to use the Thunder God.’

The wind god was a vision that encompassed all kinds of divine laws.

If the wind makes your presence and body odor disappear… … It was possible to completely erase their presence from the world.

All of them are the operating methods taught by Theo.

‘There is no need to doubt the master’s discernment that sees through the core of the vision. So I just have to work hard and rise to a higher place. To be the sword he can hold when he stands up properly.’

It was just then that Evelyn thought so.

Hwaaa-

A very weak, but cool breeze as if it came from outside.

It was a wind that could never be felt in a dungeon.

‘come.’

in the dark,

Evelyn’s eyes flashed coldly.

‘＜Three Second Hell＞… … . It must have been that name.’

Theo swallowed dryly as he watched the darkness surrounding him.

No, it seemed to have been swallowed.

The glass space is a space where the caster’s images and thoughts are embodied in the outside world.

Hilda’s glass space was once a notorious trademark, even giving her the nickname ‘Evil Devil’.

It is a trick that traps the opponent in ‘Narak (Hell)’ in just 3 seconds, and the person trapped inside experiences the experience of being trapped in an eternal bondage with all senses erased.

Having no sense means that you can’t even perceive properly.

When external stimuli are removed, consciousness can only replay imagination.

And that imagination causes fear and fear and becomes a delusion, and the delusion soon eats up people’s consciousness… … .

Hilda was talking.

If you want to get out of this place, become his disciple.

If you do, he will give you his sword and Garuda’s heart.

Of course, Theo had no intention of playing around with Hilda’s tricks.

[‘Skill: Hatchling Synchro’ is activated and the mental barrier protects your consciousness.]

[The senses that were cut off will return and you will be able to understand your body functions.]

‘As expected.’

Theo exclaimed in delight as the darkness receded and he began to see his hands clearly.

He had already overcome Kyle’s mind sword in the 3rd flowering ceremony and obtained a solid mental barrier that could easily deflect most mental attacks.

Thanks to that, even when Hilda gave off the nuance of activating the glass space, she didn’t resist much.

‘Since I came to the ghost castle in the first place, I didn’t expect only Hilda’s favor.’

It wouldn’t be strange if she had put Ragnar of the previous era on the rock, even if she had all sorts of schemes in her heart.

So, just in case, I prepared several insurance plans… … It was an exact fit.

The first insurance is Hatchling Synchro.

And secondly,

“＜Inventory＞, Summon Balmung.”

It was a dragon sword.

Flash!

Theo’s fingertips were shining, and Balmung soon appeared.

My fingertips tingled like needles pricked, perhaps because of the legend of the dragon’s death.

No matter how great ＜Three Second Hell＞ is, in the end, it is a space that originated from Ragnar’s vision. That law is made up of dragon magic. then.’

Theo squeezed the dragon’s heart and all the mana he had in his chest and poured it into Balmung.

At the same time, he tried to awaken some of Balmung’s latent thoughts by activating Hatchling Synchro.

‘I have no choice but to be weak against Balmung’s blade, the dragon’s sword.’

[Stimulates the thoughts of ‘Dragon Sword: Balmung’. You cannot awaken your thoughts because you lack the qualifications.]

[The thought cannot be awakened.]

[In order to awaken the mind, you must complete certain conditions to obtain qualifications.]

.

[A huge amount of magical power increases the skill effect.]

[Some of the latent thoughts are forcibly awakened and appear for a while.]

[Effect: Dragon Slash]

Gee ying!

As Balmung trembled like crazy, a beam of light rose above the blade.

Despite the amount of mana poured in, the power emitted was too weak.

Theo had enough of that.

＜Dragon’s Five Claws – Yam＞

Chow ah!

Theo slammed Balmung down as hard as he could.

Then, in the midst of the empty darkness, I heard the sound of something being caught and breaking one after another.

The sound of a chain breaking.

Tadadadadang-

Kwajik!

Then a crack forms somewhere where the chain breaks,

Theo released all his remaining thoughts through that gap.

* * *

“… … What have you done?”

Hilda stopped looking at Theo, who was trapped in the jet-black sphere, and narrowed her eyes.

I wondered if it would become a little more docile if I kept it here for a day or so.

It’s been a while since they were locked up, and anomalies have already started to happen.

Some of the chains of the abyss that were tightly bound to the jet-black sphere broke, and a crack formed at the top of the sphere.

Although it was only a minor flaw compared to the true power of the Three Cho Hells,

The problem was the fact that there were such scratches, itself!

at that very moment,

Whoa!

“no way… … !?”

Hilda widened her eyes at the haze rising above the scratch.

I could quickly figure out what it was.

‘Conscience? A mediocre trainee swordsman already knows how to deal with suspicion? How did you open the brain gate?’

It was a completely unexpected mistake for Hilda, who did not know Theo’s secret.

And the purpose of that thought, or will, was very simple.

SOS.

I was sending a rescue request to someone.

Before Hilda could stop it, the ceiling suddenly collapsed and the jet-black orb exploded as well.

wooong-

Currr!

pass… … .

The entire dining table on which all kinds of delicacies were placed was smashed, and all kinds of dust was blown away by the ripples.

And in the meantime, a mask in black and white hair.

that buck!

“Robert!”

“It’s been a while, Taesang Family.”

The black dragon greeted Hilda’s annoyed face with a light nod and glanced behind her.

Theo was gasping for breath with a tired face.

He was very tired as he poured out his mana and stamina at once while hurting the three-second hell.

“Sigh… … Sigh… … ! Fortunately… … The rescue request was properly… … Sigh… … Did you reach… … see… … .”

“How did you know I was out there?”

Beyond the mask, the black dragon’s eyes shone sharply.

In fact, he had been secretly following Theo all this while.

If he wanted to, he could never be caught because he had a transformation and stealth technique that could fool even Kyle properly.

What if the information leaked somewhere?

I absolutely had to cut that route.

“The black lark… … Aren’t you a black dragon… … Are you?”

“Answer the question. How did you know I was there?”

The black dragon’s murder seemed to brush the nape of Theo’s neck at any moment.

Whoa-

Theo took a long breath and straightened his back.

Both eyes shone regularly.

“Didn’t Black Dragon give you a hint in the first place?”

“Did I give you a hint?”

“Yes. In the first place, I had no contact with Black Dragon or Heukseol. However, Black Dragon gave me an unconventional proposal at the nomination ceremony. He also said that he is a talented person who would suit Black Snow. Doesn’t this mean that you have been observing me for a long time?”

“You’re not convinced that I stepped on your back for that reason alone?”

“There was also a reaction from the family head.”

“Hmm?”

“The head of the house has shown me many times as if she knew every move of me. It was as if he was not simply observing me with his eyes and ears spread over Winterer, but he had his eyes right next to it.”

“her!”

“Besides, you must have known that I was the Chooser in the first place… … Considering the importance of information, I wondered if Black Dragon didn’t look at me directly. More than anything.”

Theo’s eyes drew an arc.

“You didn’t even put your name on the recommendation letter for my promotion test? If you don’t know this, I’d be an idiot.”

“… … her! You were reading the numbers completely.”

The black dragon muttered in despair, but somehow the eyes behind the mask seemed to be smiling.

“Talent for swordsmanship is also a talent, but the insight or judgment that connects fragmentary information to point out the overall context is also a talent that is perfect for Heukseol. As expected, you should be embraced by our Heukseol.”

“It’s an overstatement.”

“Humility beyond the limit is nothing but deception.”

The black dragon gave Theo a pleasant evaluation and turned his body the other way.

It became clear as of today.

Theo was not simply a vessel worthy of being embraced by the Baekgap Dragon Base or the Maehwa Palace.

Although it is a regressor,

‘That’s it, you should look at it from the side. Now I know for sure why the family head brother wanted to take a closer look at this child.’

That’s it, all the other advantages are left after erasing the disadvantages.

“Can you leave on your own?”

The Black Dragon asked while keeping Hilda in check.

Theo laughed.

“I am grateful that you have helped me like this, but how can I say that I will sit on the throne of Ragnar if I cannot do that?”

“One word is slick. good. Show me.”

At that moment, Hilda opened her magical powers wide.

“There’s nothing they can’t say in front of me!”

Quarreureung!

A tremendous sense of intimidation swept through the air.

[Activates ‘Skill: Lesser Drake Fear’ to relieve some of the spirit.]

Theo secured freedom of action with a dragon slash just like he did at the 3rd flowering ceremony.

‘All the things I learned from my father are useful.’

I exclaimed in deep admiration for Kyle’s insight.

“Umbra!”

In an instant, the shadow wriggled and Umbra appeared, carrying Theo and flying vigorously into the sky.

Keek!

“Where… … !”

Hilda tried to impose sanctions on Theo who tried to escape, but had to deflect the Black Dragon’s intervention.

Chaaang!

Quarleung-

As sword and sword collided, the broken pieces pounded the floor and even collapsed the remaining restaurant.

“Wouldn’t the Lord Taesang take your hand at this time? If you try to catch a child and fail, you will only get more disgrace on your face.”

The eyes behind the mask were polite yet sharp.

It was as if they were going to kill me right away if I had to.

That hurt Hilda’s pride.

Knock!

A lot of madness was revealed between the sharpened molars.

“dare!”

“dare? Did you dare say that?”

Chaaang!

The black dragon pushed Hilda backwards and brought her left hand to the mask.

“Strange. Even the head of the household can’t bear to say such a thing to me.”

click-

The black dragon corrected the slightly distorted mask with a chilly voice.

That moment,

oh oh oh!

The momentum surrounding the Black Dragon has completely changed.

The black flag formed a single shape.

It was as if a masked monster had emerged from the darkness.

“Let’s see if you’re qualified to say that. You are the old ghost of Ragnar.”

Quarreureung!

flash, flash-

As the spirits of the two absolutes rebel against each other, various natural disasters occur… … I started to make a ghost castle in the middle of the day.
