The Bastard’s Way of Life of the Returning Swordsman

Chapter 98

Episode 98

Some tea (3)

A tremendous upheaval, as if the hands were about to fall off.

The Griffin inside the Moonbaek Sword seemed to want to go on a rampage right away.

thump thump thump!

Even in the dragon’s heart and Danjeon, mana was sucked like crazy.

However, the Moon White Sword probably thought that even that was not enough, and even pulled the moonlight that was falling from the sky this way.

Just in time, the two dungeons collided with each other, and the moon was being crushed as day and night intersected, and the moonlight leaked from there was absorbed entirely by the moonlight sword, drawing a huge vortex.

Whoa!

Geeeing-

A scene where the lunar wheel, which wraps around the round moon, seems to have landed intact on the ground.

That moment,

Theo could vaguely understand why this sword had the name ‘Moon Baek’.

[Succeeded in peeping some of the myths hidden in the Moonlight Sword.]

[Guardian Griffin’s temperament is strengthened.]

The mighty power began to be loaded onto the Moonbaek Sword.

Less, less!

‘no. Not yet.’

Theo pressed the moonlight sword that was about to come out of the scabbard at any moment.

In the meantime, the two eyes still calmly pursued the Fairy Dragon and the Desert Worm.

‘little bit more… … !’

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Less, less, less!

‘more!’

Gee ying!

By the time the conflict between the two of them trying to find the timing grows bigger.

Theo could notice that the collision between the Fairy Dragon and Desert Worm was much looser than before.

Their energy was running out.

‘now!’

Theo drew the moonlight sword upward with all his might.

Fuhuaaak!

from bottom to top. Huge beams of light soared through the air.

As the entire lunar wheel ascended, the brilliance of the beams of light increased to the fullest.

Even the moonlight pouring down on the ground illuminated the place, as if the moon stuck in the sky was protecting the moonbaek sword.

Chow, chow, chow-

The beam of light blew off the head of the Desert Worm, who was just in the distance from Theo.

Since the collision with the fairy dragon had already become rough and the injuries were serious, it happened without any time to resist.

thud… … !

Eventually, the corpse, which had lost its head, pounded the ground powerlessly.

The cut surface was so clean that blood did not leak out properly.

Kyaaagh!

The other desert worms also realized the existence of the beam of light and became alert, but

Spaw! Spaw! Spaw!

As if mocking those guys, the moonbaek sword slashed through their heads very quickly.

An illusion of a griffin appeared in the place where the light passed.

The monster with the body of a lion, the tail of a dragon, and the wings of an eagle lazily ran and flew through the moonlight, biting and clawing at the scruff of the Desert Worm’s neck.

Was hunting fun after a long time?

Or was the predation enjoyable?

Griffin even let out a long roar as he looked at the shattered moon.

oh oh oh!

As if declaring that this place is their territory.

Then, when most of the desert worms disappeared, the griffin’s gaze turned towards the fairy dragon.

“human. I’m here to help you. Why are you doing this?」

The fairy dragon also read that gaze, turned to Theo, and fired a thought into his head.

He pretended to be as calm as possible, but his voice was scolding.

There was no way Theo was unaware of the impatience beneath him.

He was also severely injured and fatigued from a long clash.

‘What is helping.’

Theo let out a sneer and answered with the trail of the moonlight sword.

Magic power was rapidly declining.

「aaan!」

The fairy dragon roared wildly and poured all the rain and wind towards the griffin, but

Papabak!

Rather, the griffin, using the wind as a stepping stone, rushed straight into the air and bit the fairy dragon’s neck at once.

Kwajik!

“human. You are the selector, so you know my utility value. So please use your wise decision. Among the many guardians arranged by the Great Dragon, I was famous for being the most intelligent. I am well versed in magic, so I can help you in case of emergency… … !”

“I’m sorry, but it seems the order is wrong.”

The fairy dragon tried to persuade Theo somehow with an urgent voice, but Theo cut off the conversation with a sneer.

“I am the guardian dragon’s only companion. And the one who will become the king of Ragnar, inheriting the will of the Great Dragon.”

A gaze much fiercer than that of the griffin pierced the pupils of the fairy dragon.

“So if you want to live, you should have said obedience first.”

“… … !”

“The impiety of daring to make a deal with the king.”

“Oh, no… … !”

“Repay with death.”

The fairy dragon’s protest did not last long.

Quad Deuk-

Griffin tore off the nape of his neck that he had bitten.

Wow! Wow!

And on the face of the griffin who chewed and swallowed the fairy dragon.

Even the laughter was buried.

[The Fairy Dragon has died.]

[All Desert Worms have become inactive.]

[You have achieved great achievements that do not match your current abilities. A significant amount of experience is obtained.]

[Your level has risen.]

[Congratulations! Scenario Quest #3 was completed safely with a much higher score than the suggested dungeon mission.]

[Rating: S+]

[As a reward, you have obtained ownership of two artifacts.]

[I got 50 coins as an additional reward according to the evaluation.]

[Categories that were closed will open depending on the amount of coins you have. New features have also been updated. Please check.]

Theo woke up with the feeling that his body was being thrown out.

Jiying, Jiying!

Suddenly, the moonbaek sword in his hand was shaking violently.

And the yogi leaking out of the pitch-black blade.

Tsutsutsu-

Yogi wrapped his right hand around Theo ominously.

“Theo?”

Evelyn screamed with a startled face.

He felt an unusual energy from Theo’s sudden change in temperament.

“stop!”

Theo forced Evelyn to a stop, forgetting that he was supposed to be polite.

His consciousness was entirely focused on the Moonbaek Sword.

A cold sweat ran down his cheek.

“Since you’re full, you’re saying you’re going to try it?”

Theo, with a spiritual gaze, looked directly at the yogi who was rapidly heading towards the short circuit and heart.

The Wolbaek Sword is originally a ghost sword that boasts an innate ferocity.

It instinctively covets its master and boasts a peculiar temperament that wants it to be wielded as it pleases.

So even in my previous life, I could only handle it if it was a black dragon.

-you.

– I want to eat you.

-I.

-I will chase the moonlight again.

But now, the guy finally satiated his hunger and regained his instincts.

It was only natural that he would target Theo right away.

But,

“Are you stupid, or are you stabbing yourself?”

Theo knew the nature of the moonlight sword and the griffin all too well.

So, I never believed in it in the first place.

“If you want to live, you must have told me to obey first.”

thump thump thump!

Theo’s heart beat faster than ever, pumping blood throughout his body.

Thanks to the effect of bee mose water, supplying mana was very easy.

Faaa!

At the same time, the earrings and rings emitted the same brilliant light.

-Whenever kills us.

-Do you need us again?

The thoughts of the Fairy Dragon and the Desert Worm rang in my head.

[‘Skill: Hatchling Synchro’ is violently cast to wake up the guardians sleeping in the remains of the Great Dragon.]

Theo’s brain door opened wider than ever before.

oh oh oh!

And hot, burning incandescent.

[All additional stats are put into intelligence.]

[Intelligence: 42 → 57]

[The realm of consciousness expands.]

The ritual and assimilation of the Fairy Dragon and the Desert Worm took place.

‘You have to speak straight. I’m not looking for you guys. You guys are giving me a chance to serve.’

As much as the [Intelligence] stat was raised, I could hear their thoughts much more clearly.

-what… … ?

-What do you say to the subject who defeated us in an expedient way… … !

‘As I said, I am Lodbrok’s only companion. And he is the successor of Fafnir, the Creator who gave birth to you. How I deal with you is entirely up to me. is not it?’

-… … !

Theo was feeling the need to ensure the hierarchy as the number of artifacts he possessed continued to grow.

Otherwise, it was clear that later the whole order would be messed up.

Just like the Moonbaek Sword is plotting a rebellion.

monarch and subject.

master and tool.

That relationship must be established from the beginning.

‘If you don’t like me, you can say no. I also have no intention of forcibly making a vassal of someone I dislike. Of course, I have no intention of looking for it in the future.’

-… … .

‘Make up your mind. What do you plan to do?’

Will you completely obey me?

Or will you reject it and return to the artifact again?

Theo forced the two of them to choose between them.

-… … follow

-I don’t want to go back to sleep for such a long time.

Fairy Dragon and Desert Worm answered very simply.

They tried to resist, but they already acknowledged their skills when they were defeated by Theo.

Even if it was using Griffin, Theo’s victory was thanks to Theo’s skills.

I had no intention of denying that fact.

They thought it was enough to add their strength.

[‘Guardian: Fairy Dragon’ has recognized you as its true master.]

[I got ‘Skill: Fairy Buff’ as a reward.]

[‘Guardian: Desert Worm’ has sworn to obey you.]

[I got ‘Skill: Worm Eater’ as a reward.]

Tring!

[Fairy Buff]

[Worm Eater]

‘done.’

Skills corresponding to buff and attack types, respectively.

Theo tried to subdue the moonlight sword while actively using the two skills.

Paaa-

The earrings and ring all at once emitted cold light.

A light that was colder than the moonlight sword.

[Activate ‘Skill: Fairy Buff’ to push Yogi with enhanced immunity.]

[Increases attack power by activating ‘Skill: Worm Eater’.]

Quad Deuk-

The combined effort of the two relics quickly pushed the spirit of the Moonbaek Sword out.

The blue light even dyed the moonbaek sword.

-this… … !

Kiriririk-

With a sad voice, Griffin began to sink to the bottom of the unconscious world.

The simmering thoughts also subsided.

[‘Guardian: Griffin’ bows its head again.]

Ugh! Whoops!

The three artifacts that completed the complete subjugation trembled.

A situation where each other checks each other.

From now on, these three would not be able to pose a threat to Theo separately, even if one of them became much stronger.

You’ll be bitten around by the other two.

woo woo woo… … .

“Whoa… … !”

Theo let out a sigh of relief, but smiled contentedly at the fact that he had completely obtained the artifacts.

“how?”

Evelynn was the only one who looked at him with a slightly bewildered face.

half sword.

Kyle looked back with his hands behind his back, laughing lightly rather than walking between graveyards.

“You ate a room not like you.”

Horror… … !

A black lark was sitting on a sword.

with a sullen expression.

“It seems that this is very disapproving. but. You missed Ed’s collar right in front of your eyes, which you thought you had almost caught. Whoop whoop!”

Kyle burst into a cheerful laugh that is not usually seen.

The mistake of the black lark was so pleasant.

The black lark, on the other hand, was in for a tantrum.

Hor! Horror!

Seeing him arguing while hitting the floor with his little wings seemed like he was very angry.

“I don’t think there is any need to think that way. Don’t you know better who’s behind Ed?”

Ed Troyban.

Behind it lies the great gate of the East, Troy Ban. And next to it stands the Holy Magic Bridge.

But they knew very well that something far greater than that resided.

It was also the reason why Kyle was tied up here in Winterer.

Horror!

“Why did someone who knew that well leave it alone?”

Hor!

“Hmm… … . Are you asking knowingly? Or are you just ignoring it?”

Horror! Horrr!

Kyle stroked his chin with his hand.

The mischievous look that made fun of the black lark was gone.

“Berry.”

solemn voice.

The fuss of the black lark, which had been running amok, suddenly stopped.

Berry.

It was a childhood name that few people remember now.

“as you know… … I hope this Ragnar continues forever. And I hope that you will shine as splendidly in the future as you did until now. That day, under the peach tree, the oath you and I, Julius and Osa made together is still the driving force that moves me.”

Kyle clasped his hands behind his back again and walked through the half-sword tombs.

“So, aren’t all those things very important for Ragnar to continue and shine? An existence without a crisis always declines.”

The black lark was silent.

This person really has a different perspective than ordinary people.

It’s a fact I’ve known for a long time, but it touched me especially strongly today.

“Besides, don’t you know? That their becoming stronger is also the same as our Ragnar’s growth in the long run.”

… … .

The black lark did not sing anymore.

“So, even though I might have a hostile relationship with them, I couldn’t throw away what was in my arms. It is nothing but an act of abandoning the ＜Gias＞ that I swore a long time ago.”

Kyle looked at the black lark with a thin smile on his lips again.

“So please don’t resent me for not following your wishes, for leaving them alone for so long. Because I don’t want to be resentful of you either.”

The black lark couldn’t bear to meet Kyle’s gaze and jerked to the side.

Horror, Horror.

It looked like a small grumble, so Kyle couldn’t help but laugh.

“Rather than that, let’s stop talking about these troublesome things and talk about Theo. Apparently, the concerns you’ve been worrying about don’t seem to be showing up anywhere anymore. Julius grumbled. Even if you are possessed in an uncharacteristic way, you are possessed too firmly.”

Horror… … !

The black lark sneered lightly at the word ‘Julius’ and chirped something.

Kyle was able to laugh happily at the good news he hadn’t seen in a long time.

The fact that the child who had so bewitched his sworn brothers was his own son couldn’t have been more pleasant.

‘for now… … yes. I guess you could say it’s a passing grade.’

It was the wish that he would keep the current mind.

Of course, I knew very well that it was easier said than done.

As long as there is a very good card called regression, everyone will want to use it comfortably.

Of course, at that moment, all the trust that he and the black dragon had barely had would be shattered.

‘Come to think of it, it’s been a while since I haven’t seen your face lately, right?’

Wouldn’t it be nice to meet and talk about it one more time?

As long as you don’t abuse regression.
