How the bastard of the Return Sword Family lives
Episode 233
Laurel Inspection (3)
Theo became curious.
“Is there any reason why I should be the only one who can solve this problem?”
Asking Hilda and other forces to deal with the conflict alone was no different from asking her to go out and die.
Even though Theo’s current skills are great, they are not at the level of Hilda.
The three people looked at each other with faces like ‘What is this?’ and then burst into laughter.
“Ah! I guess we misunderstood what we said. Of course, all of our nine dragons plan to participate in this sublimation ritual sanction battle. The same goes for the head of the household.”
“However, we cannot intervene in the sublimation ritual itself. Not even the lord.”
Black Dragon added to the explanation of the Plum Blossom Princess.
“Are you saying that there are things that the master cannot do?”
“I guess the Lord and I are the same person in your eyes too?”
Julius burst into laughter.
Theo scratched his cheek with an embarrassed expression.
Isn’t he the one who pulled down the Emperor Guanglong from his throne and pierced Lordbroke’s heart with his body, not with his chosen one?
Of course, he would feel like a normal person.
The black dragon said.
“Rather, it’s because the owner doesn’t seem like a human being.”
“?”
What is this noise?
“As I said, the sublimation ritual is an act of opening the door to the pantheon. In order to close it again, you must eventually become a vessel of consciousness capable of handling it… … .”
“You’re saying it’s too big and difficult?”
“yes.”
“her.”
Rather, I can’t come forward directly for fear of being sublimated.
In fact, the level that Kyle has reached is probably beyond the level of a god, so he will likely be able to enter the Pantheon at any time.
“And our nine dragons… … on the other hand, they cannot grow to that size. They have not attained Nirvana.”
Theo also nodded, understanding this part.
“In the end, all we can do is block the Holy Demon Church and other forces. It’s up to you to close that door.”
Theo nodded heavily.
It’s an all-out war in which both Gaju and the Nine Dragons participate.
As Ragnar’s full power is being invested, this incident will definitely put a period on Ragnar’s reputation as the world’s best.
If so, it would be of great help in preventing a great war.
But what if we fail here?
If you show even the slightest hint of being pushed around by the other electors… … .
‘I don’t even want to imagine it.’
On the one hand, I was worried because Wellington was on Hilda’s side.
Why on earth can’t he get out of there yet?
I had a strong feeling that this would not be an easy fight in many ways.

The day of the promotion exam has arrived.
-Theo Ragnar!
-Theo Ragnar!
-Theooooo!
Flags and placards fluttering everywhere.
Those who moved around the stadium in robes covered in history clicked their tongues at the sight.
“That’s what I’ve always felt.”
“… … ?”
“Isn’t it Ragnar who thinks the Holy Magic Cult is the most terrifying?”
“yes?”
“But Ragnar often seems to be worse than those holy demons?”
The man in the red robe at the front let out a hollow laugh.
“Look at this atmosphere. How is this different from fanatics? They say birds of a feather flock together, isn’t this the same thing? Or is it ‘Those who gaze into the abyss become monsters’?”
“… … Don’t go around talking like that.”
“Am I crazy? Why would I get into trouble while I’m sleeping well?”
This is Winterer.
This is where Ragnar’s eyes and ears are everywhere.
It wouldn’t be surprising at all if someone overheard their conversation right now and reported it to the legal office.
Because of that, the man in the blue robe who was following behind quickly looked around.
Fortunately, the crowd was either too busy moving towards the stadium or was full of peddlers selling things to them, so no one paid them any attention.
Only then could he breathe a sigh of relief.
“Hey, what’s a young man doing with something like that? Men have always had a lot of guts-”
“Will you shut up? And what era is this, and why do you keep talking about men? You’re a brat who runs away as soon as something happens.”
“Hey! That was it!”
The two headed to the stadium, bickering as they always did.
However, he kept looking around with sharp eyes.
As if with the eyes of a natural warrior.

A long tail-like thing appeared behind the hem of the robe and then disappeared into the road.

4th training ground.
The place where Theo was able to rise again and also create the foundation of the SS.
The Laurel Inspector promotion exam was also held here.
There was no separate announcement regarding the test contents.
However, only one rumor was circulating.
-They say that Sogaju’s next promotion test is a series of battles with the Nine Dragons.
Not just one person, but a whole bunch of battles!
Naturally, people couldn’t help but have high expectations.
-If you can just defeat one person, it proves that you’re at the level of the Laurel Inspector, but you’re saying you’ll defeat them all in succession? Huh! But is that possible?
-You must have planned this kind of game because it was possible, right?
-How far can you go? It might be difficult for Baek Gap-yong-gi-dae-jang or Heuk Seol-ju.
-That’s right. Because the two of you are so powerful. There’s also Lady Paeryong and Lady Plum Blossom.
While people were curious about how the game would be played, they all came to a simple conclusion.
-Won’t the battle be fought in reverse order of the 9 dragons’ ranks?
Most of the nine dragons were superhumans who had overcome the limitations of ordinary people.
However, if you were to force a ranking among them, Hwanryong, the commander of the Blue Sword Guards, or Bingryong, the princess of Suseon, would usually be classified as the weakest.
Even Wonryong, the chief senator who had his right arm ripped off by Julius in the past, was recently included.
So people expected that one of the three would be Theo’s first opponent.
however.
-Oh, what happened?
-You’re saying we’re going to fight this fiercely from the start?
-Then it’s good for us!
Wow!
The moment the first test opponent entered the training ground, thunderous cheers erupted from all directions.
“You’re using cheat keys from the start.”
‘That’s what I’m saying.’
On the other hand, Theo’s worried sigh flowed deeply.
“… …Are you really doing this?”
“Shouldn’t a surprise be a surprise only if it’s surprising until the very end?”
“If one more surprise happens, I feel like I won’t be able to survive.”
Theo grumbled in a hushed voice.
The first test opponent chuckled and slung his sword over one shoulder.
It was Julius.
“Then you’re not going to do it?”
“I have to do it. If I don’t do it… what else can I do?”
“None.”
“Right?”
Hahaha. Julius burst into laughter.
“I’m impressed. Actually, it was Brother Robert and Osaga who said they would go first, but I stopped them because I was worried you’d get hurt.”
“… … What’s the difference?”
“No different. Those two will only compete based on skill-”
Julius forcefully brought down the sword he had on his shoulder.
Choaaaak!
A circle about 3 meters in diameter was drawn on the floor with him at its center.
“Aren’t there a lot of opponents we’ll have to fight in the future? So let’s put restrictions on them and quickly settle the score.”
It means let’s make a bet.
Only then did Theo’s eyes sink deeply.
“What do you mean?”
“Five sums.”
“?”
“Try to push me out of here, and you’ll win.”
“!!”
“It looks easy, right? But it won’t be easy.”
Gooooo-
A thick atmosphere began to swirl around Julius.
A rough speculation that makes people’s skin tingle.
“I’m saying this because I’m a bit strong.”
Dduk dduk!
Theo laughed with such a ferocious force that it seemed as if someone was weighing down his shoulders.
After I ascended the ladder, a fighting spirit I had never felt before surged from my heart like a flame.
Yeah, this was it.
The place where I wanted to stand.
As expected, he is Ragnar.
It seemed that he was a man who had no choice but to stand on the battlefield holding a sword.
Thump thump thump thump!
My heart was pounding wildly.
“I didn’t think it would be easy. I just thought it would be fun.”
Theo charged up his magical power while holding Drake’s blade.
Hwaaaaak!
The greatsword was so red that it almost glowed black.
And the outstretched flash of light.
<Dragon’s Claw>
Tsupat!
Theo remembered the flash he had learned from Julius one day.
Julius used the flash he had learned from Kyle to instill it into Theo’s heart in his own way.
Theo was able to reinterpret and adapt it in his own way, and now succeed in creating it anew with his own vision.
Kururururung!
Lightning struck from the sky.
The heat was so intense that it could even be felt in the audience.
Julius laughed.
Just a few years ago, in this very place, the child who had caught his eye and begun to properly hold a sword was now standing up to him.
In fact, Julius had known about Theo for a long time.
I wasn’t that interested.
But I was aware of it to the extent of thinking, ‘There was a kid like that…’
Among the many children of my respected older brother, he was a child who was particularly quiet.
I remember that he had a cold and handsome face, but he was actually very cruel, unlike Ragnar, and so he was popular with the servants around him.
It’s a pity. I wish he could have developed his talents a little more.
How could I not be proud that the child I thought of so well has grown up to be so upright?
So Julius really wanted Theo to surpass him.
If the child you looked down on all this time grows up to be the child you look up to… what could be more meaningful than that?
Pfft!
Julius swung his sword horizontally.
The flash of light was so intense that it felt like the dragon of the apocalypse was violently swinging its tail, colliding with the dragon’s claws.
Quaddukduk-
The clash of flashes of light repelling each other filled the entire area with pure white light.
Both of them showed off their momentum without giving an inch to the opponent.
Julius laughed.
Because Theo’s enlightenment seemed to be absolutely equal to his own.
But I’m telling you that you can’t push yourself away with this, so show me another way-
“Is it okay if I pour out all five at once?”
“!?”
Before Julius could answer.
Kururururung!
Four more swords struck Julius like lightning.
It took power to just block one attack, but now all four attacks are coming at you at once?
“… What the f*ck.”
Julius thought, not knowing whether to laugh or chuckle.
Kwaaaaang!
I was caught in the explosion.
