Episode 106
Cold Winter (1)
Ugh!
Evelyn wrapped her left arm with her right hand as she felt the phantom pain that had occurred for the first time in a long time.
My left arm hurt a lot.
After getting an iron prosthetic arm.
Evelyn no longer experiences hallucinations.
And I wasn’t even plagued by horrible nightmares.
-It’s you. The child who used the name Nereville.
The stench of Wolfgang that had made me vomit didn’t even come to mind.
-Even though you were born with low blood, you definitely take after that child, and that’s why you’re so beautiful. Good. From now on, you’re my long-term partner. Just like your mother, you too must live for me.
But now,
-That would be the only way you could repay the favor of me for allowing you to be born into this world, for giving you the good fortune to be born with even a little bit of noble blood.
The nightmare from back then was rearing its head again.
About twenty years ago.
The child who came to Ragnar simply because he wanted to see his father’s face turned his back on him when he learned of his father’s ugly side.
And he took up the sword, taking his mother’s name as his surname.
With only one promise: one day, he will take revenge on his mother and the father who abandoned him.
But even though I became a member of the Baek Gap Yonggi Corps and a senior prosecutor, that person was still too far away.
Evelyn couldn’t stand that fact.
Julius, Theo, Cecilia and Kirshon all step forward for him.
So I couldn’t just keep being pressed down like this.
‘I.’
Iron Man!
The iron prosthetic hand’s fist became more powerful.
‘I have to overcome this somehow.’
Evelyn raised her head with determination.

Theo’s level had already passed 30, and he was steadily building up his other stats, creating a steep growth curve.
What has achieved particularly remarkable growth is [intelligence].
Coefficient 75.
Before I knew it, I was approaching 100.
All of the additional stats gained so far have been invested into [Intelligence].
The reason was simple.
+
[Intelligence]
Deepens your thinking and judgment skills. Increases your understanding of skills.
+
Recently, Theo was fiddling around with the status screen while digesting the Sword Orb and discovered a few additional features.
One of them was how to utilize each stat.
[Strength] has the effect of strengthening the muscles of the body, and [Agility] has the effect of increasing the reaction speed of the nervous system.
[Intelligence] was a good choice for the next target as it greatly helped in activating skills.
Thanks to you,
Theo was able to pull off another massive surge in force in just a few days.
[Activate ‘Skill: Hatchling Synchro’ to strengthen the latent thoughts in the sword orb.]
Countless sword trajectories were drawn in Theo’s field of vision.
Paaaa-
-Take the sword.
-Swing your sword.
-knife.
-knife.
-Give me the sword.

-Swing me around.
Although his headache was severe due to countless unrefined thoughts screaming all over his head, Theo endured it and focused on activating his skill.
The sword bead that Kyle gave was filled with obsession and madness for the sword, regardless of the identity of its original owner.
Thanks to this, his understanding of swordsmanship was also very high, and Theo was able to gradually merge the various swordsmanship techniques he had absorbed in fragments into one.
The trajectories drawn before my eyes were the proof.
If you just swing it like that, you can unleash the
And in the process, Theo was able to gain many glimpses of enlightenment.
‘This is why my father told me to use this bead as my stepping stone.’
Kyle said he would only give a sword worthy of each candidate he approved.
For Theo, who had learned swordsmanship from many people, this was the most outstanding instructor.
‘Who on earth is the original owner of this sword? Even if all I learned was basic swordsmanship, the characteristics of
Just by the fact that he had tied together the nine dragon sword techniques, you could tell how great the realm the original owner had while he was alive was.
But no one came to mind right away.
This was because the number of masters Kyle had defeated on his way to the throne was so great.
Because of this, he put those worries aside and focused only on the sword he was holding.
‘Someday we will find out.’
Thump thump thump thump… … !
[‘Skill: Fairy Buff’ is activated and a strong blessing is applied.]
[The hidden effects of the skill appear due to ‘Strong Blessing’.]
[You are energized.]
[Your body vision becomes stronger.]
[Reaction speed increases.]
[Stamina and magic recovery speed increases.]
And then the application of other skills that follow.
[‘Skill: Worm Eater’ is applied, increasing attack power inversely proportional to the opponent’s health.]
[‘Skill: Lesser Drake Fear’ is cast, and the dragon’s breath breaks the opponent’s will.]
[The effectiveness of all skills increases according to the effect of improved intelligence!]
From the sword orb to the skill buff.
With Ragnar’s blessed body added to this, Theo had no choice but to display skills far beyond his current level.
Kwarrrrrrung-
“Ahhhhhhh! I’ll kill you!”
Beta’s face turned red with anger.
It was so embarrassing that I was not only outclassed by a mere inspector in terms of skill, but was also momentarily overwhelmed by his spirit.
If things continue like this, I will be sold out and will not be able to return to the Senate.
Such an unfortunate incident should not have happened.
So I ran at him while screaming at him,
Kwaaaaang!
Theo’s powerful diagonal strike not only shattered Beta’s sword while sending a strong lightning strike, but also roughly swept across his upper body.
After a massive heat storm had passed.
“Ugh… … Ugh… … !”
Beta collapsed, showing a deep wound as if a dragon had roughly struck him with its claws.
dump!
“… … !”
“… … !”
“… … !”
A single member of the party defeated the Senate’s prosecutor.
The crowd was speechless at the shocking scene.
Theoman just casually lowers his sword and says a word.
“next.”
How arrogant that sight was, Wolfgang and the elders could only shake their fists in shame.
On the other hand, the crowd all cheered explosively.
-Look, did you see it?
-I really thought I’d win… … !
-They say he’s a yaksha who spreads lightning. Rather, there’s a lack of rumors. He’s a monster, a monster!
-Island Yacha!
-Island Yacha!!
Niel, who was watching the situation as a mediator, asked.
“Does that mean you’ll participate in the second match as well?”
“Yes. I’m not that tired.”
Niel couldn’t help but chuckle at Theo’s remark.
That sounds exactly like Kyle did in his younger days.
I had that thought too.
Of course, Wolfgang was just amazed.
‘The atmosphere… is all flowing towards that guy.’
Ragnar traditionally favors the strong.
And I welcome the confident attitude of the strong.
Theo was exactly like that.
Arrogance and confidence.
It was only a difference of one piece of paper.
To the crowd it seemed like confidence, to the Senate it seemed like arrogance.
Crack!
I grinded my teeth so many times today that it felt like my wisdom tooth had broken.
“page.”
“Yes… Yes?”
“I’ll let you step forward next time.”
“Are you talking about me?”
The elder who was called was startled and asked back,
“Are you the only one here with the name Page?”
I swallowed dry saliva under the stinging glares of Wolfgang and the other elders.
-Island Yacha!
-Island Yacha!
Even now the crowd was chanting for Theo.
What would happen if you were to step forward as the second sparring partner in that kind of atmosphere?
Seunggi, the Senate can bring it, though.
The position he has built as a senior citizen over the years will never be regained.
But Wolfgang gestured as if telling me to hurry up and go.
The other elders also ignored Page’s gaze asking for help.
They didn’t want to be dragged away instead.
“Okay… I will. I will somehow restore the fallen honor of the Senate and return.”
Eventually, Page had no choice but to get up with heavy steps.
“Keep that in mind. We have to crush that guy. No, we have to kill him right now. So that he can never raise his head again.”
The last sound that reached his ears made Page’s back shiver.
At first they just told me to cut off my right arm, but now they are outright telling me to kill them.
The difference between the two was too great.
This is something that could be dealt with by Julius or Princess Plum.
I guess I’ll have to do it anyway.
If he had not listened to Wolfgang, his family might have been harmed later.
Finally, Page, who was standing in the training ground, put his hand on the sword with a determined mind.
-Wow!
-How can a senior come forward as a sparring partner for a practical examination?
-Does the Senate have no pride?
Boos poured in from all sides, but Page pretended not to hear them and paid no attention.
No, rather, the more it happened, the stronger my resolve became.
‘Once the duel starts, it’s over in just one second.’
If I had used my hand half-heartedly and Theo had blocked the attack, my plan could have been discovered.
Then, not only would the Senate be criticized, but it could also invite the intervention of Julius and Princess Plum.
“Page Grason of the Senate. He was nicknamed ‘Shinmyogeom’ during his active years. As the eldest of the family, I will break his arrogant attitude.”
“Please take good care of me.”
-And you are an elder of Ragnar!
-Just stay in the back room!
Theo nodded absentmindedly and lightly clashed his sword with Page.
A signal to start a duel.
At that moment, Page swung his sword in one breath to cut off Theo’s neck.
The moment a strike full of black energy flashes,
“surrender.”
Suddenly, as if he knew everything, Theo hurriedly stepped back and raised both hands.
The page’s face was stained with embarrassment.
“……what?”
“I surrender. The second duel was a defeat for our side. How could a junior like me, who is much younger, fight with my senior? Still, you must be very happy since you won at least one victory.”
Theo threw a mocking laugh at Page, who was still looking at him with a dumbfounded face, then turned around and left the training ground.
-Wh, what is it?
The crowd also murmured at the sudden turn of events.
-Sudden surrender?
-I think you were aiming for me because you’re laughing at me? Puhahaha!
-Ah… …! I see. Anyway, the last ones will be the Demon Dragon and the Original Dragon, right?
-Since you already got one win, the second match doesn’t really matter.
-Gyahahaha! What the heck? The Senate came out to catch a young prosecutor for no reason, and ended up getting teased.
-The Senate is just like a dog chasing a chicken, huh? Phew!
“Eeeeek!”
Page’s face turned red and blue with anger for a moment.
It was only then that I realized that I had been playing into Theo’s hands.
I lost my first duel and my honor was tarnished, and in the second duel I ended up falling into the trash can without getting anything out of it.
and,
In the Baek Gap Yong Gi Dae, Julius was seen preparing to rise as the third person to spar.
Page looked back at the Senate in a hurry.
Wolfgang shook with anger and suddenly got up from his seat.
A powerful murderous spirit was already swirling around in him.
“You little shi*s… … ! Alright. If you guys are going to act like this, I have no choice but to act the same way… … !”
Boom boom!
Wolfgang stepped forward with powerful steps.
* * *
-I will cripple the Senate in front of many people.
Julius chuckled as he remembered Theo’s addition both times he had said he would step forward.
That’s what he meant.
As a result, the Senate was completely at the mercy of Theo.
This incident was likely to be talked about for a long time to come.
Theo’s fame will rise accordingly.
The evaluation of Baek Gap-yong, who has been unknowingly suppressed by the Senate, will also be placed above the Senate.
‘Anyway, I said it was a snake.’
That was why he cared so much for Theo.
“Then it’s up to me to finish it off.”
If we were to break the remaining arm of the Chief Senator here, the Senate would have no honor left for the time being.
At that moment, Wolfgang was seen walking out with a very angry look on his face.
Julius also smiled and tried to step forward,
“… …Evelyn?”
Suddenly, Evelyn stretched out her iron prosthetic hand and blocked Julius’ path.
With a determined look in his eyes.
Evelyn said with deeply sunken eyes.
“Third sparring, let me come forward.”
“… … !”
Julius’s eyes widened.
* * *
Since when did it start?
Julius always thought.
Evelyn is like a silkworm cocoon.
A silkworm that can flap its wings beautifully and fly into the sky after molting, but is not yet ready.
That kid was like that,
The butterfly,
Now it was flapping its wings to get out of Kochi.
At that moment, Julius was able to realize.
Even my own feelings towards this child, who had been catching my eye for some time.
‘Yeah. I always see this kid like this… …!’
