How to Survive as a Member of the Meteor Sword Family Chapter 78

How to survive as a loser in the Yoo Seong-geom family

Episode 78

The main house was turned upside down (1)

“Ugh.”

The backyard of the inn.

Isabelle, who had been catching her breath and concentrating, swung out the dark spears she was holding in both hands.

Wedge-

The wind caused by the spear strike spread out into the surrounding area along with a dull thud.

She muttered softly as she put away the spear she had been holding.

“Certainly… … I can feel that the power has increased as the weight has increased… … but it’s also difficult to handle it freely.”

Isabelle muttered quietly to herself, then took a deep breath while resting the spear on her shoulder.

The dark spear she had swung just now was a special order from Nastasya, made to replace her own spear that had broken during the battle with Ivan.

It was a spear forged from a mixture of high-purity steel and ink iron, one of the rare minerals mined in the Magic Kingdom.

The weight alone is approximately 80kg.

It is so heavy that even an average adult male would have difficulty lifting it.

Although it was about three times heavier than the crude iron-cored spear she had been using before, Isabelle was quite satisfied with her new weapon.

Because she liked the unique heaviness she felt every time she swung the spear.

Of course, it is true that it was difficult to handle because I was not yet used to the weight, but that is a minor problem that can be overcome through training.

“Once I get used to it, I can be of even greater help to you, Master.”

Isabelle muttered softly and recalled what had happened a few days ago.

“… … You said it was a mental manifestation.”

During the battle with Ivan, the apostle of the Zodiac, the feeling she felt as Jin’s sword was closer to awe than respect.

“The world you have seen so far… …was it like that?”

It was an experience that completely shook up the foundations and common sense of martial arts that he had known up until then, and it was so eye-opening that the word “eye-opening” was not enough.

He makes everything he can imagine within his own capabilities a reality.

It’s such an absurd story that if anyone heard it, they wouldn’t even laugh.

Until recently, she had only heard rumors and thought of him as a worthless idiot.

Contrary to the world’s prejudice, Jin Aster, the scoundrel of the Meteor Sword Family, lived in a world far beyond her cognitive scope.

I was embarrassed.

A person who had been content with reality. A person who had been satisfied with the praise from people who said that he was in the top five of his generation and had innate divine powers.

Even though he was similar in age to Jin, he was barely able to keep up with his shadow.

“…….”

She could intuitively feel the moment when her mind was connected with Jin’s.

I don’t know the full story, but Jin threw himself into it with a desperate resolve, overcoming thousands of deaths to grow to where he is today.

“That’s why… … You were able to become so strong in such a short period of time. The young master, who trained himself with the determination to die, and I, who only repeated training without a purpose, had already had a gap in our mindsets.”

The moment she caught a glimpse of Jin’s spiritual world, she was faced with a sense of awe she had never felt toward anyone before, and she made a resolution inwardly.

I will become a sword that will be loyal to him for the rest of my life. I will become a knight who will protect the truth with his life on the line.

So, after much thought, she swore an oath of loyalty to the mouse, risking her life.

This is because I am convinced that if I believe in and follow the truth until the end, I will be able to reach a level that no one has ever reached before.

No, before that, a knight… … no, as a human being, the desire to pledge her life to Jin Aster dominated her mind.

As the daughter of the Hades family and a proud knight of the Hades Knights, this was an emotion she had never felt before.

“Whew… … I still have a long way to go to catch up with you, Master.”

As Isabelle, who had caught her breath, was about to open the window again, a familiar, languid voice was heard.

“Oh my… … Since this morning… … You’ve been working very hard, Miss Isabelle.”

It was Nastasya Rune, the lord of the green tower that ruled this city.

“I meet the Lord of the Tower.”

“There’s no need to… … take such an example. Miss Isabelle… … is the hero who saved the Tower of Green.”

Nastasya waved her hand and smiled at her as she politely bowed.

Isabelle’s eyes narrowed slightly as she faced her.

“I understand. Are you on your way back from a visit to the master? Is everything okay, master?”

Nastasya answered Isabelle’s continued questions in a languid voice.

“Yes… … Now, all the magic left in the wound has disappeared… … The trauma has almost healed, but the damaged core… … is recovering slowly.”

Since the night he pledged allegiance, Jin has been refraining from going out for ten days and focusing on healing.

It was evidence that the internal injuries he had sustained while forcibly connecting with her were serious.

Because Jin had superhuman resilience, he could recover from injuries that would have been life-threatening to an ordinary person in less than a week.

‘You even used the Pakong Banwol Cham in a way that wouldn’t have been strange if you collapsed at any moment… ‘

Honestly, I was just glad I didn’t become disabled.

“Now that the treatment is over, I guess it’s time to change the bandage. I’ll go up now.”

“Oh my… … You don’t have to do that. I’ve already cleaned everything up. Then I should… … go back to the tower… … There are a lot of problems to solve regarding the catacombs. I also need to make a new sword for you, Jin-nim.”

Isabelle’s eyes narrowed even further as she watched Nastasya turn her back on her after greeting her.

Just looking at Nastasya being affectionate towards Jin made her feel an inexplicable irritation welling up from a corner of her heart.

Hwaaak-

Blue mist rose from her entire body as she momentarily lost control of her emotions. The dark-colored spear she held in her hand gave off an eerie aura.

“Mr. Mouse! Where are you!”

“Did you call, Sister?”

At her scream, a mouse appeared from somewhere and rushed towards her.

Looking at the clothes soaked with sweat, it seems that the mouse was also training its body in its own way.

“hmm…….”

Isabelle, who had been quietly watching the mouse, suddenly slammed her spear into the floor.

Then, he broke off a branch from an unknown tree growing in the backyard.

“Let’s have a sparring match to test our skills. Mr. Mouse, you use a real sword, and I’ll use this stick.”

“Huh? What the… … Hike! No! I really want to learn a trick from you, big sister, but I’ve been moving my body too vigorously up until now… … .”

The mouse, seeing Isabelle’s eyes narrowing, tried to make excuses and leave.

I couldn’t escape from the clutches of Isabelle, who was feeling very upset due to an inexplicable irritation that arose from seeing Nastasya, who had been with Jin since early in the morning.

“If you don’t want to break anywhere, you’ll have to give it your all.”

“… … Please take it easy, Sister.”

The mouse thought to himself as he saw Isabelle’s expression, which seemed determined to beat him up under the pretext of a duel.

‘Damn it. I wonder if there’s any potion money left in my wallet.’

* * *

The reception room of the main house of the Yuseong Sword Family, located in the capital, was turned upside down.

Belkan suddenly barged in, rushed at Bergo, the head of the main family, and grabbed him by the collar.

“Brother! How could this happen!”

“What’s going on that you’re making such a fuss? There are a lot of eyes watching. Calm down.”

Even if he was the 4th generation head of the family, grabbing Bergo by the collar would be an unimaginably rude action.

The knights guarding the entrance to the reception room were astonished at the murderous aura that Velkan gave off, and they could not even think of stopping him.

Whatever.

Belkan, who lightly ignored the gazes of those around him, shouted at Bergo, who was sitting with an expressionless face.

“Am I being serious right now?! You must have received the report, hyung, so you must know why I’m acting like this!”

“If you’re talking about the report… … are you talking about what happened at the Tower of Green a few days ago?”

“Don’t pretend not to know when you already know everything!”

At that moment, Belkan was yelling at Bergo.

Violet, who had been quietly sitting on the living room sofa filling out documents regarding magic stone production, opened her mouth with a smirk.

“I think it’s because of Miss Isabelle. Why don’t you sit down instead of acting like an ignorant fool?”

“Old fox, if you don’t want to get stabbed, just keep quiet!”

“Oh my, you don’t want to get beat up? Are you talking to me? Shall we have a game after so long? You little boar?”

A black mist rose up behind Violet. At the same time, Velkan drew his sword and aimed it at her.

“Yeah, I was already so angry I was going crazy. Let’s have a go at it, you bitch!”

“Hey, you? You’re talking a bit harshly today. Should I twist your mouth?”

It was a tense situation.

The moment the black fog rising from Violet’s body was about to collide with the sword energy rising from Velkan’s sword.

“Both of you get there.”

The blade-like momentum that Bergo unleashed crushed the two people and quelled the tense situation.

Belkan, who had come to his senses from the overwhelming momentum that was weighing him down as he reached the realm of the Master, put away his sword and sat down on the sofa.

And then, with a look on his face like he was about to shed tears from his round, bulging eyes, he spoke to Bergo.

“Brother, try to stop him. No matter how much that damn bastard has contributed to the Demon Kingdom… … This is not right!”

The reason why Belkan suddenly barged into the main house and caused trouble was simple.

It was because of a brief communication I received from Isabelle a while ago.

– The young master, I, and Mr. Mouse joined forces to defeat one of the Zodiac’s apostles at the Tower of Green.

The moment he heard this story, Belkan burst into laughter with joy that made Whisen Castle leave without him knowing it.

“Defeat an apostle? An apostle of the Zodiac at that? After all, it’s my daughter! Hahahaha!”

Unlike witches and demons, who can be easily distinguished by the magical energy they naturally exude, apostles who cleverly hide themselves among humans are not easy to find.

Even if you were to find it, it is a being with such great power that at least five or six high-level knights would have to fight with all their might to barely equal it.

And he’s not just any ordinary devil’s apostle, he’s an apostle of the Zodiac, one of the four great evil gods.

Although he joined forces with a guy called Jin and a Rat (who was pretty useless in Velkan’s eyes).

It is an incredible feat of martial arts that is hard to believe was accomplished by Isabelle, who is not even twenty years old yet.

Belkan, who knew this better than anyone else, had a splitting smile on his lips.

“Hahaha, I raised my daughter well! Good job. Good job! As expected, she has the potential to be the next King of Hell!”

– Thank you, Father. And I have one more thing to tell you.

“Yes, yes. Feel free to talk to me. Do you need money for your trip? If so, I will have someone deposit the money right away… … .”

– That’s not it.

That is, until Isabelle, who had cut off Velkan’s words, blurted out the following story.

– Mr. Mouse and I just swore an oath of loyalty to you, Master.

“What?!”

Belkan jumped up and screamed at the unexpected story.

It was a loud shout that made the entire Whisen Castle shake.

“You little brat, you should stop teasing your father. You swore allegiance to that son of a bitch?”

Unlike Velkan, who was more flustered than ever, Isabelle showed an indifferent reaction.

– Yes. I offer myself to you, my lord, on the honor of a knight and in the name of the King of Hell.

Isabelle’s voice was more serious than ever.

Belkan, who realized that her words were not a lie, sat down on the sofa helplessly.

“Why on earth did you swear allegiance to such a piece of shit… … No, before that, the guy who was supposed to be the next King of Hell… … Why… … .”

As Velkan, whose mind was in a state of confusion, muttered absentmindedly, Isabel’s reply was heard through the communication port.

– Because I have watched you from the side, I am certain that you are someone I can trust and follow for the rest of my life. I have already made up my mind, so even if you are my father, you will not be able to break my will.

“Ugh… … Ugh… … .”

Belkan, unable to handle his blood pressure rising like crazy at Isabelle’s firm voice, fell down, holding the back of his neck.

“Not just any other guy, but Jin Aster, that damn bastard… … The next head of the Hades family… … The head of the family… … .”

Before he could even finish speaking, Belkan, unable to overcome the mental shock, lost consciousness.

This happened just three days ago.
