How the bastard of the Return Sword Family lives
Episode 228
Entering the Spirit (3)
Thump thump thump… … .
My heart was pounding like crazy.
The waves and vibrations that resonated there spread to every corner of the body, affecting the brain and danjeon beyond the physical body.
The wave invaded the realm of thought.
The space of consciousness shook little by little.
Nirvana, which had been constantly wriggling to expand to the outskirts, stopped for the first time.
And little by little, my heartbeat and rhythm matched, and I was gradually caught up in the same frequency.
For the first time, the seething Nirvana calmed down.
‘The dragon’s heart… … had this function?’
Theo was startled.
Because I wondered if this could really be happening.
This method was never even thought of in the first place.
The dragon’s heart that he knew was only used to strengthen the body.
There’s no way Lordbroke could have figured this out.
If that were the case, I would have told you a long time ago.
then?
‘Master!’
It seemed like Newitz was trying to improve the Dragon’s Heart on the spot.
Thump!
This time, the heartbeat was different from the one before.
Excitement.
The fact that he was starting to walk in step with his Master again made his heart race.
‘The Master is watching.’
In his previous life, Newitz was not just a teacher to him.
He was practically like my biological father.
When Kyle and his family all turned their backs on him and treated him like he didn’t exist, he was the only one who showed them family affection.
So how heartbreaking it must have been for someone like that to close his eyes.
Now that I think about it, my teacher was also a victim of Ragnar’s competition.
‘I have to show you that this life… is different from before.’
Although it is difficult to talk about past lives, I can still convey that feeling.
Not as the foolish Theo who only suffered setbacks and broke his master’s heart, but as Theo Ragnar who achieved victory and made his master happy!
『Yes. In that way. Match the frequency and make the dragon’s heart and brain resonate. Then gradually increase the range and reach the danjeon-』
If you succeeded in resonating with the Dragon’s Heart and Brain Gate, then drawing your Danjeon here was a very easy task.
Because what I’ve always done during battles is to resonate my heart and danjeon.
So the three cores are combined into one wave number.
When the double core system was improved to a triple core system.
A miracle happened.
Hwaaaaak!
My mind, which had been dizzy, suddenly came to a full alert.
The demonic desire to shake his body subsided, and his magical circuits expanded madly.
The existing circuit was enlarged and thickened. As a new circuit was added next to it, the expanded circuit moved upward along the cervical spine.
Clang!
And it was completely connected to the brain gate, and magical power poured in that direction as well.
The idea is the heart of the dragon,
Magic power is in the brain.
A trade-off occurred.
The thoughts and magical powers were mixed together and fused into one nature.
The body responded.
Spirit of energy.
There was no need to say which came first. They were all one.
‘The horse’s mouth has calmed down.’
Triple core.
This alone would be enough to say that it has reached a new level.
Maybe now I can cross swords with Julius?
I thought that in the future, Nirvana’s rampage would be sufficiently controlled.
So I opened my eyes, pulling away from all my thoughts to say thank you to Newts and Lordbroke-
“The old man asked me to tell him, ‘Are you going to end it there?'”
what?
A question mark appeared in Theo’s mind.
“‘While I’m at it, I might as well try something bigger.'”
‘!!’
Thump thump thump thump… … !
My heartbeat grew more and more violent.
“‘Let’s have a taste. To the realm of the gods.'”
Theo recalled the exhilaration he had felt when he conquered the White Tower.

It feels like I hold the world in my arms.
An omnipotent vision that seemed capable of doing anything.
Should we climb up that threshold again?
『Huh. It’s easy to understand what you’re thinking. Dragons or humans. That’s why men are like that.』
Lordbroke clicked his tongue as if he couldn’t stop himself, but he seemed to be secretly looking forward to it.
“Then let’s go.”
Thump thump thump thump!
‘Yes, I understand.’
『Currently, your mind and magical power are mixed together, and your body is completely in tune with it, so you no longer have to worry about being possessed or going berserk. Samhwachwijeong. That’s what this old man calls it.』
Newitz would always break down the land into incomprehensible words.
『Perhaps now, you won’t have to be conscious of your magical powers anymore, and if you just put your mind to it, the magical power and will will follow, making it easy to accomplish anything. For example, now you can win with telekinesis and unleash your sword just by willpower.』
A state where one can do anything by will alone.
It is the real victory that awakens the sword.
This is not the Igi-geom that Kyle used to use with telekinesis.
『Thought splitting, thought acceleration, thought expansion… … Things that require thinking will become much easier. In particular, the ‘inspiration’ that sometimes bothered you will now become completely yours, and it will go beyond the level of prediction to the level of vision of the future.』
‘As expected, Master… You read my condition accurately.’
I never said anything about the Gwangryongje or the Sword Beads.
It seemed that he could tell the aftereffects and worries he was experiencing simply by taking his pulse.
『That ‘inspiration’ is now entirely yours… trust and follow it.』
Theo nodded, saying he understood.
『Now project the thought fixed on the body outward. The destination is the mana stream.』
Under Lordbroke’s guidance, I gradually expanded my thoughts outward again.
Nirvana followed on its own. Unlike before, it was a very stable movement.
The whole world that entered the realm of thought appeared as if it were held in the palm of one’s hand.
That wasn’t all.
It seemed possible to manipulate some of the rules if one put one’s mind to it.
What if we project our imaginary world here?
A world of perfect glass space will appear, not the previous glass space that was a mess.
I was already curious about what it would look like.
and,
Because I was able to encounter the great flow of energy that flowed in nature.
It looked like gentle waves, but it also looked like a violent storm, so much so that if I got swept up in it, I would be left without a trace.
“Don’t worry. Nirvana will maintain your identity. The important thing here is to know and comfortably accept that you and the Mana Stream are not different, that you and others are the same.”
Although I was still very scared, I believed Newitz’s words and connected to the Mana Stream.
Tsupat!
In an instant, a halo of light filled my vision.
* * *
“…I’m sure things are going well, right?”
Lordbroke swallowed dryly and looked back at Newitz.
She was completely drenched in cold sweat. Her eyes were filled with fatigue.
Theo thought he had completed the triple core sync with great ease.
In fact, it was Lordbroke’s help that made this possible.
Brain, heart, and danjeon.
These three organs actually pursue different functions.
Are you forcing it to fit?
A lot of attention had to be paid to the fine control parts.
If the flow of magical power, which should flow evenly, were to be disrupted even a little, everything would be over.
Roadbroke took charge of just these areas.
‘When you wake up later, you’ll have to pay the price. You’re just using me like this!’
He had taken out my ribs to repair my sword, and he had intended to receive a handsome price for it.
“Yes. Thanks to your help, Guardian Dragon, I was able to do it much more easily than I expected.”
Fortunately, though, the old man seemed to appreciate his efforts.
I kind of liked this part.
“But what you get from here is entirely up to Theo.”
“You don’t know what you’ll get?”
“Yes, that’s right. If you can accept it just a little bit, enough to control it, then the ‘transportation between heaven and earth’ will open up, so that too-”
“…Cheonji Transportation?”
“Oh, no! I was short-sighted. Lord Suho-ryong, this may be the first time you’ve heard of this term. Heaven and Earth Communication is the ability to communicate by reading the energy and will of the great nature flowing through the sky and the earth.”
Lordbroke felt like smacking his own snout for muttering so carelessly to himself a moment ago.
What on earth are you asking me to do?
A little while ago, I asked what the term Samhwachwijeong meant because I didn’t know what it meant, and didn’t get in trouble.
-Ah! Are you talking about ‘Samhoechujeong (三花聚頂)’? Ahem! This is a word that originated from the East, and ‘Samhwa’ here refers to the spirit that has been trained to the limit and has taken the shape of a flower.
This guy was a hell of an explanation.
Even if there was something you didn’t understand, you should never ask back.
If you don’t want to experience the pain of having scabs settle in your ears!
“… … Then, if we accept a lot of sheep, what happens then?”
“If we accept the big tributary… hmm! Well.”
Fortunately, the newly introduced topic barely calmed down this unstoppable runaway locomotive.
But what he said next surprised Lordbroke.
“God?”
“!!”
* * *
‘Here?’
Theo felt as if he had entered the depths of the sea.
A world filled with blue.
Here and there, strange creatures that looked like fish or whales were swimming around.
However, they looked different from normal creatures.
It was semi-transparent, so you could see right through it, and it had a mysterious feel to it.
What should I do here?
Theo suddenly had that thought, but before he knew it, he was walking away.
But Lordbroke’s voice was no longer heard.
Somehow he ‘knew’ what to do.
‘Those are probably spirits that have gained will through the gathering of some of the spirits of the mana stream. If so, wouldn’t the oldest and largest spirits be among them?’
Of course, you may have to wander through this mana stream for days to find such a spirit.
But Theo didn’t think it would be difficult.
Because someone was already guiding him.
No, it wasn’t someone. It was ‘someones’.
As Theo walked forward, the spirit energy gathered one by one and took the shape of large and small dragons.
“Come here.”
Theo’s guardians were guiding the way.
“He is waiting.”
The place we arrived at after following them.
There, a being was curled up and sleeping deeply.
A gigantic body that seemed at least three or four times larger than Lordbroke’s main body.
But Theo felt warm rather than intimidated.
It was like meeting my long-lost grandparents… … .
“You’re finally here.”
At that moment, the being slowly opened its eyes.
A vertical pupil much larger than Theo’s was contained in Theo’s eyes.
Theo seemed to know who that being was.
If there is a being greater than Lordbroke, and worthy of the Guardians’ example, then there must be only one in this world.
Theo bowed his head respectfully.
“The descendants of Ragnar meet the Primal Dragon.”
