How the bastard of the Return Sword Family lives
Episode 237
Heavenly Dragon (2)
In fact, the person who was most interested in sharing the sword with Theo was Kyle.
‘I want to see how much the sword has grown.’
Kyle was always happy to see Theo growing day by day.
For Theo, life was always a struggle.
Bumping, and bumping again.
Then, somehow, they overcome the crisis, and when they encounter another crisis, they don’t hesitate to face it again.
I wonder if that journey keeps bothering me because it feels like looking back at my past.
So, whenever I met Theo like this, it felt like I was seeing myself from the distant past.
‘I hope you had fun this time too.’
Kyle really thought so.
Because there isn’t much time left to swing the sword yourself.
* * *
‘Where?’
Theo quickly looked around, his grip on Drake’s blade tightly tightening.
The triple core connected to the mana stream vibrated more violently than ever.
Kyle’s presence was so hard to find.
Even the black dragon left behind a very small trace, but Kyle didn’t even have that.
As if his existence had been erased from this world.
‘It’s not deleted. It’s cut. Even the sound and traces.’
Theo wondered if there was anything Kyle couldn’t do.
A swordsmanship that even cuts down presence.
Isn’t this already outside the realm of humans?
Then, there was a subtle attack that was detected, however faintly.
‘frontal!’
Theo brought his greatsword down, stamping hard on the ground.
Kwaaaaang!
A heavy blow shook the greatsword.
A shockwave so powerful it feels like your wrists are going to fall off.
He somehow managed to hold out with his monstrous strength, with a power coefficient of over 200.
I had to use a lot of strength to prevent myself from losing my balance. The veins on my calves were so prominent.
however.
Tsupat!
Out of nowhere, blood spurted onto my left shoulder.
‘What happened…?’
The attack was clearly frontal, so why was the wound on the left side?
Theo’s doubts did not last long.
Wedge!
This time, the lower left waist.
I turned my body around and pushed upward from below.
The greatsword flashed sharply, drawing a graceful semicircle.
This time, the dragon’s claw with a thousand won secret added to it.
Theo wanted to tell Kyle that he had developed the spark he had once shown him.
This is perfect.
I was proud of that, thinking my father would be satisfied too-
Phew!
Suddenly, a heavy blow to the right lower back occurred, causing a lot of bleeding.
As expected, this time the wound was in a completely different location than where it had hit.
“You have figured out the mystery of circles and have gained a clue about time, but it seems you have not yet acquired the concept of space.”
Pit. Kyle’s laughter rang in my ears.
Theo couldn’t ask what that meant.
This was because the offensive had already continued one after another.
Shhhhhhhh!
Dozens and hundreds of flashes of light were pouring in this direction.
Each and every one of them is comparable to the dragon island that Kyle is proud of.
He raised his greatsword high, thinking that he would die if he failed to block it, and quickly drew out his four Igi-geoms.
Pot! Pot! Pot! Pot! Pot!
Tata dadadang-
Every time sword strikes clashed, countless sparks flew.
Auror debris flew in all directions, and the shockwave shook Theo’s body and mind equally.
-Wh, what is it! I can’t even see anything… …!
-If something flashes, block it, and if it flashes again, block it… … .
-Wow, that’s amazing!
In fact, the fact that the inspector could ‘read’ Kyle’s flashes was already a testament to his skill.
And if you can block it, you can definitely call yourself a master.
In that respect, it was a great feat to directly block Kyle’s chain attacks.

It’s quite a feat, considering that just a few years ago Theo was shocked when he saw Kyle’s sword.
Even the other nine dragons who were watching the fight were all shaking their butts.
Those who were a little less skilled let out exclamations.
On the other hand, those with strong self-esteem were drooling.
“My brother, I think… … .”
“Oh. I think so.”
“Is it really that fun to play with your son for the first time? Anyway.”
In Julius and the Black Dragon’s eyes, Kyle appeared to be playing around.
The problem is that the level of ‘playing’ should not be judged by the standards of the general public.
Because Kyle’s sword was getting sharper and sharper.
Doesn’t even the space bend?
Caving in.
The method of controlling space without realizing it and trapping the opponent in one’s territory to kill them was a sparring method that Kyle had been enjoying for a long time.
The other party, however, was caught in a trap with no way out and had to experience the feeling of their blood drying up in real time.
“That’s a map match.”
But here, Princess Plum gave a very simple evaluation.
“Map training?”
“It seems like they’re not just going to let you simply learn what you’ve learned in today’s training… … but are going to evolve it.”
“evolution?”
A question appeared on Julius and the Black Dragon’s faces.
Since Princess Plum was superior in swordsmanship, her perspective would match.
“He’s already a saint, and you’re trying to lead him further?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“No matter how fierce the mission will be, is it really necessary to overwork yourself like that? Even if you are my brother, this is probably too much work.”
Being a new person meant that you had already made your own way.
Realizing the mission the world has given him, carrying it out, and making it his own divine position.
That was the true path that Ipsin gave.
That is, help from others was not of much help.
Because the path that someone else took might actually be the wrong one for you.
So it was almost a daunting task for Kyle to guide Theo.
The only thing that was possible was that Kyle was already a rare figure in the human world who had taken a step into the realm of legend, and he was much more senior than Theo in kendo, so he could reduce the amount of trial and error.
But even that was unlikely to be of much help.
So, what I meant was, is it really necessary to go to such lengths?
“I don’t know, but… … .”
Princess Plum seemed to have guessed something, then trailed off and pursed her lips.
There, Julius and the Black Dragon felt an inexplicable sense of unease.
“You know something, don’t you?”
The eyes of the Princess of Plum Blossom shook greatly at the sight of the two sworn brothers.
In the meantime.
‘I can’t see the road.’
Theo felt as if he was trapped in a labyrinth surrounded by sharp winds on all sides.
No matter how hard I tried to fight it off, the sharp wind that stuck to me like a tidal wave was too sharp.
The problem was that the more attacks you deflected, the more wounds you took on your body.
The two previous injuries were absolutely no mistake.
Kyle’s flashes seemed like some kind of magic.
It’s an attack where the more you block it, the greater the damage it causes.
It was fortunate that he had awakened to Yong-in, otherwise it would not have been strange if he had collapsed from massive bleeding a long time ago.
The path he had walked was already covered in blood, and his clothes were covered in wounds.
At first, I thought about avoiding the attack somehow.
But that thought was quickly abandoned.
It is a thorny path surrounded by sharp winds all around.
Where on earth do you go from here?
Instead, Theo recalled what Kyle had said.
-It seems like you don’t have any concept of space.
Kyle blurted out those words and didn’t say anything else after that.
It means to carefully consider the meaning.
Theo wondered if this might be the only way out of this blade hell.
‘If you’re trying to teach me something, I’m sure there’s a way I can find it with just what I have. Way, way, way… …!’
Theo knew that time was a circle.
Even if this world is destroyed by the <Nameless Monarch>, the world will return to the beginning thanks to the Pantheon.
This world is a great spinning wheel.
So here’s a thought that comes to mind.
What about space?
A world that has come to an end and is beginning anew will certainly not be the same as before.
Completely different laws will come into play, different relationships will overlap, and a new civilization and society will blossom.
So, can we say that the appearance of the space on the large surface of the world at this time is the same as before?
No, it will be different.
Space, like time, can never be considered a circle.
Time and space are different, is that what Kyle was trying to say?
‘No. Something is different. If that’s the case, then a new martial arts theory must unfold before me. However, the concept of a circle has accepted everything I have learned so far. In the end, the concept of space, like time, is included in a circle.’
The past life of a past life.
It was during the time of Yu Teo that I can’t even remember well anymore. There was such learning in a part of the past that I glimpsed through Baektap.
That time and space are absolutely not different.
The notion that time is linear and space is framed are both human-made definitions.
In reality, the two are the same thing; as the pressure applied to a space increases, the time contained within it becomes very fast.
When we take the example of a black hole in the distant universe, isn’t its vicinity moving much faster than other time zones?
On the other hand, if time acceleration becomes too fast, it is also a problem.
If time caught up with the speed of light, the concept of space would disappear completely.
At that time, it is possible to go back to the past, and it is also possible to change the location of space at will. It is said that it is possible to distort the coordinates of space and space, making it possible to make a ‘leap’.
So space and time.
The concepts of time and space should not be separated.
So, can we put this learning into practice?
Can you put it in a circle?
Theo found this too difficult.
There is a technique that utilizes time, <Clockwork Array>, so he was able to somehow grasp the concept.
But the space was different.
He didn’t know how to apply enough pressure to warp space, nor did he know how to detect time acceleration that quickly.
“Space is a prison.”
Then, Kyle dropped a new clue.
prison?
“Laws are bars, and truth is the chain that holds you in. If you don’t break free from them, you will never be able to set foot in this realm.”
Bars and chains. It seemed to be saying that in order to go beyond the framework of a god and become a myth, one must completely shed even those.
“The <Nameless Monarch> is able to wrap his yoke around it because he is above it. The Gwangryongje was able to defy death and come back down to this land because he reached above it. On the other hand, Hilda? She is able to reach above because she tries to go against it.”
In the hell of blades, Kyle was still nowhere to be seen.
But the voice was heard clearly, as if whispering right next to me.
At that moment, Theo realized.
“If you do not realize this fact, you will not be able to stop Hilda or Emperor Gwangryong from the gates of sublimation. Nor will other electors who may have reached a similar position as me.”
This is the realm.
This entire surrounding, the entire world that his senses could perceive, was Kyle.
Time, space. Everything.
