Episode 190
Descendants of the King of Dragons (5)
“Kyle. How are you?”
Granada looked quite embarrassed.
That would be the case, since he thought Kyle would be at Ragnar’s base.
For Kyle, it’s a situation where he doesn’t know when the Gwangryongje will appear.
So I couldn’t move rashly.
That was the very reason why Kyle was unable to engage in full-scale warfare during the Northern War.
Because I had to be fully prepared to go out at any time.
‘So, ironically, it was possible to exclude Kyle from Ragnar’s power… … !’
This was also the reason why Granada was able to set a trap for Theo.
But Kyle instead looked sarcastic.
“You plant seeds too, so why can’t I?”
“… … !”
“I have known for a long time that the Gwangryongje is not in a position to step forward. My target has always been you.”
“… … No way, then that’s why you haven’t been directly seen on the front lines all this time.”
“To make you let your guard down.”
Kyle’s cynicism grew deeper.
“Thanks to you, I got caught like this. You haven’t learned anything, Granada.”
Ugh!
Granada clenched its teeth.
-Granada. You’re too impatient. You’re too impatient. If you keep doing that, you’ll never be able to step on my shadow, you idiot.
When was it?
There was a brief period of friendship due to exchanges between the North and the East.
At that time, Kyle was already a genius whose name was known throughout the empire, and Granada was a rookie who had just entered the world.
Naturally, he showed a lot of competitive spirit towards Kyle due to his young age.
I was defeated badly.
I can’t even stretch properly for a second.
Even after the exchange meeting ended, Granada visited Ragnar several times to challenge Kyle.
And every time I lost.
Clearly, he is putting in a lot of effort, so why can’t he even brush against Kyle’s clothes?
So I got angry and got upset, and Kyle said this.
You don’t know how to wait.
Counting is not only about calculating, but also about knowing how to wait for the opportunity to come.
At the time, I didn’t even listen because it felt like Kyle was looking down on me.
Why did I suddenly remember that time?
They had already anticipated that they would not stay still, given that the bait called the selector was right in front of them, and they had been making moves step by step.
Kyle.
“Don’t make me laugh.”
Pot! Papat!
Several shadows fell behind Granada.
Bonggong wearing wooden masks on their faces and robes wrapped around their bodies.
In particular, the eyes of the 9th Bonggong Nine and the 8th Bonggong Arc were shining ominously.
Each of them moved outward with a mission, but ended up experiencing the humiliation of failure at the hands of Theo.
“Yes. I admit that I was short-tempered and fell for your trick. But show yourself here? You should know that your arrogance ultimately led to Ragnar’s downfall.”
Granada decided to change its mind altogether.
Wouldn’t it be the best-case scenario if we could kill Kyle here and capture Theo as well?
Kyle would rather die because of his own scenario.
Paaaaat-
The arrows turn into flashes of light and shoot at Kyle.
“Are these the ‘experimental works’ that were made in conjunction with the magic tower that I’ve only heard about? They say they transplanted the spirits and bodies of the shameful ones to create infinite magic power. But they all failed and ended up turning into monsters wearing masks?”
What lay beneath the robes worn by the servants was no ordinary body.
A bizarrely tangled formation of tentacles.
The tentacles unleashed themselves and swept around Kyle.
The end of it was full of poison.
The poison of the sea that would melt an ordinary person with just a single touch.
“That’s right. They are vessels created to replace, or rather, to ‘evolve’, your Nine Dragons. If you know them so well, then you must know very well how dangerous they are.”
Jeeeeing!
Granada has infused the Dragon Sword with magical power.
While the servants were tying Kyle’s feet, he planned to blow Kyle’s head off with it.
‘Although it’s a shame that I can’t completely finish the trial without the Dragon Sword… … Still, this is enough.’
The Yong Hwal Sword is considered the highest relic among all the relics of the ancient dragons.
In the days when only the Chosen could become the head of Ragnar’s household, it was also a substitute for the scepter, which signified monarchy.
The power hidden here is the activation of dragon power.
He was qualified to instill loyalty in those born with the dragon’s factor, and to freely turn their magical powers on and off.
Granada had already opened the trial using the [Blue Key] given by Emperor Gwangryong, and had succeeded in awakening the function of the Yong Hwal Sword.
However, since he did not have the Dragon Sword set, he was not recognized as the complete owner.
It was enough to seal Kyle’s power for just a few seconds.

and,
In the world of superhumans like them, ‘a few seconds’ were a crucial moment that determined life or death.
Boooooooooo!
At that moment, a clash between the servants and Kyle occurs.
Blink!
It was at that moment that Granada was about to swing the Dragon Sword.
“Didn’t I tell you? You’re too short-tempered. It’s not me who’s arrogant, it’s you.”
Kyle’s laughter pierced Granada’s ears.
what?
Before the question even arises.
Phew! Phew!
Suddenly, Granada’s right arm shot into the air.
With the Yong Hwal Sword in hand.
“You’re turning your back on the enemy.”
Kyle’s laughter rang in my ear again.
Granada looked at the surprise attack on him with a puzzled face.
Nine.
-You plant seeds too, so why can’t I?
Even with Kyle’s words, I still didn’t think they were servants.
Especially Nine.
Didn’t you have the greatest grudge against Theo and Ragnar for failing to conquer the floating army?
The two eyes visible under the wooden mask were distorted with an irritating glare.
“Tch! You could have killed him. You avoided it?”
Nine flew forward to take Granada’s remaining arm and head.
For a moment, an overwhelming sense of oppression so great that it seemed as if the atmosphere was shaking rose up and pressed down on Granada’s shoulders.
Hwaaaaak!
Nine’s figure was immersed in a halo of light and then transformed into a different appearance.
It’s so huge that you’d think it was close to 3 meters tall.
“Paedragon… …!”
A look of horror appeared on Granada’s face.
Why is the author saying that among the nine dragons, it is as strong as the Demon Dragon, or maybe even stronger!
Granada was unknown.
The fact that the man of light that Nine encountered when she sank to the bottom of the floating archipelago was none other than Pae-ryong.
Thump thump thump thump!
Every time the dragon strikes the ground, a tremendous earthquake occurs.
Kwaaaaang!
Finally, as he arrived in front of Granada, the fist he swung was as threatening as a battering ram breaking down a castle gate.
Granada, who lost his right arm, had to desperately block it with only his left hand.
Eventually, a huge shock wave spread, sending up a cloud of dust high above.
At the same time, a halo of light shot up from the sky, sweeping away the dust clouds.
Sword Dragon Plum Princess, Black Dragon Robert, Ice Dragon Niel, Hwanryong Cheonggeom Guard Commander, and even Wonryong Senior Warden.
It was the appearance of the nine dragons, five in number.
“Captain of the Blue Sword Guards, if you fail to show proper merit in this battle due to suspicions of collusion with Thorkel, I will have no choice but to question you. The same goes for the Chief of the Senate. If you wish to atone for your past mistakes, fight with all your might.”
The black dragon was the first to fly, with a short warning.
His target is Granada.
The thought that he could not miss such an important achievement for Pae-ryong, who was also static, filled his eyes.
“Damn it. Of all things, it had to be a mess.”
“… … I’m still not used to using my left hand. But still, if this is the way to prove my innocence.”
Hwanryong was furious as he remembered Thorkel, who had been his good drinking buddy for the past few days.
Wolfgang set out to kill the men of his older brother, who had long ago helped to oust him.
A cold wind blew.
Kwarrrrung!
Granada’s hands and feet became dizzy.
A new emotion appeared in the eyes that had been full of confidence until just a moment ago.
Gloomy.
And it was fear.
* * *
[All buff modes end.]
[The penalty is coming.]
dump!
Theo sank to the floor, his body as heavy as water-soaked cotton.
I thought I just had to assassinate Torkel, but Kyle and the Nine Dragons showed up.
I was so busy with the back-to-back big events that I was out of my mind.
But the tension was completely relieved.
Because I never thought they would lose.
‘I didn’t know that you would not only use me as bait, but also send a dragon to me as a watchful eye or a protector.’
When the dragon revealed its identity among the servants, he was so surprised.
It was a fact that neither he nor Shelford and Arin, who had been on that mission together, knew at all.
How far ahead did Kyle have to look to defeat Granada?
“The more I look at him, the more I realize that he is an author who is not human at all.”
Roadbroke seemed to be not too fond of Kyle like that.
『Even if the revival of the family is the top priority, how can you treat your own son like a tool? In the end, isn’t that kid, Thorkell, just being used by Kyle?』
Theodosius thought that Thorkel’s rebellion was originally Kyle’s plan.
“You said you were on the verge of reaching the realm of the gods. Is that why? Even your emotions have been erased?”
‘I think differently.’
“what?”
‘I wonder if you had a lot of worries about making such a cruel choice?’
“My dear companion, you have suffered from your father for so long and still don’t know what kind of person he is?”
‘These days, I’ve been thinking that maybe the father I and other people thought of might not be the kind of father he is.’
Theo recalled the image of Kyle he had met before he set out.
But his face was still expressionless.
For some reason, I have something to say, but it feels like I’m holding it back…
『Yes. He is your father, not mine. But you should be careful, you never know when you might get stabbed in the back of the head. You are a human who can handle it.』
Still, Lordbroke’s distrust of Kyle was so great that Theo could do nothing but scratch his cheek awkwardly.
“Oh my god, I’m dying.”
At that moment, Holkus sat down next to Theo and sighed.
Thanks to that, I didn’t have to argue with Lordbroke anymore.
Theo smiled faintly.
“thank you.”
It was a greeting that contained everything: the fact that he was able to end the argument and that he had saved himself a little while ago.
“… … I didn’t do anything, what.”
Holkus turned his head to the side, his nose slightly red.
Actually, he was sincere.
I stepped forward to protect Theo, but I knew full well that it wouldn’t have been of any help if Kyle hadn’t shown up there.
But Theo shook his head.
“Why didn’t I do anything? I hit Granada once.”
“I didn’t even hit the sword properly once… …!”
“What does that matter? What matters is that you bought time for the lord to appear thanks to your intervention. Granada has achieved nothing because of that.”
“… … !”
“You’ve done a great job, Holkus. And you’ve saved my life.”
Thump thump thump!
Holkus felt his heart pounding with each word Theo uttered.
-I finally got Theo’s approval.
The power of those warm words from a friend I admired was so great.
All the feelings of inferiority and self-loathing I had until now flew away.
Holkus wanted to say something, but his throat was too dry.
“Hey, my little brother. You’ve been such a loner lately, I wondered where you’d be useful, but now you’re a bit more popular.”
At that moment, Erica sat down with her arms around Holkus’ neck, and Ray nodded while sitting next to Theo.
As if he were acknowledging those words.
Perhaps because of the long battle, all four of them were in terrible shape.
“Jeez… … Ral.”
My heart is pounding.
Holkus turned his head to the side in embarrassment.
“What? Are you crying? Crying? Phew! You big, distracting brat!”
“Who is crying!”
“Who is crying?”
“Don’t follow me!”
“Don’t follow me.”
“Don’t follow me!!”
“Don’t follow me.”
“hey!”
Seeing Holkus and Erica looking like real siblings.
‘If I were to create a new group, wouldn’t it be fun to do it with these guys?’
Theo had a fleeting thought.
I think it would be really fun to travel the world with these guys.
Just like Kyle and his brothers created the current Ragnar.
He even thought that if he were to join them, he could draw a new Ragnar.
‘It would be better if there was a well here.’
For a brief moment I had a desire to see Wellington.
And I decided.
Although the Black Dragon said that he might have to kill Wellington, he would somehow make him his own.
And also Denglong, and even Hilda.
‘I will make sure that the Ragnar I create will no longer have people like Thorkel. Let’s make it so.’
While we’re building up to the future like that.
Choaaaak!
There was a loud sound of a throat being ripped off.
Theo and his friends’ gazes all turned in that direction.
Granada’s head flew off with a single blow from Kyle’s swing.
How the bastard of the Return Sword Family lives
