How the Illegitimate Child of the Returning Sword Family Lives
Episode 243
Naga’s Forest (3)
“Look, Bone Dragon!?”
“What is that!”
“I’ve heard rumors that the Magic Tower once unearthed the remains of an ancient dragon in perfect condition. Is that really true?”
There was also a look of bewilderment on the faces of the group.
As descendants of the Dragon King, they instinctively felt uncomfortable with the ancient Dragon King being treated as undead.
“You dare not return to the great outdoors and torment your fellow human beings who cannot even rest properly!? Humans really are… …!”
Swish!
Lordbroke, who had appeared in front of Theo without him noticing, exploded with rage.
That would be the case, as the corpses of ancient dragons that failed to return to the Mana Stream were usually beings that died before they could complete their lifespan.
Dragons killed by dragon slayers.
There was a time in the past when hunting ancient dragons was a common way to prove one’s innocence.
The now extinct demon tribe mostly had such tendencies, and a small number of human tribes that had close relationships with the demon tribe also had such a culture.
Of course, the ancient dragons are not easily defeated.
But there were also instances of despicable acts, such as being tired, letting your guard down, or betraying someone you had been close to.
And the dragons that were killed in this way could not find peace even after they died.
In the first place, since their roots were in the Mana Stream, not being able to return here would be no different from becoming a wandering ghost in the nine heavens.
But you don’t even respect the corpse of such a pitiful friend, and you treat it like an undead?
The top has no choice but to turn.
A skeleton wizard wearing a robe pulled down low stood on top of the dragon’s head.
As expected, he was the great wizard that Matap was proud of, but he died and was cursed to become a lich.
The guy held the staff high in one hand and kept hitting his chin on it.
Tick, tick, tick!
It sounded like he was mumbling some sort of order.
and.
Tsk tsk tsk-
The bone dragon opened its mouth wide and took a deep breath.
Black mana was sucked into it at a fierce speed.
Something seemed to be coming together tightly.
Death Breath.
It was a high-level magic that melted the living and strengthened the curse of death.
“These damn things!”
Lordbroke exhaled as he returned to his body in an instant.
A breath of golden waves that is on a different level from the murky Death Breath.
Kwaaaaang!
As the two breaths collided in the air, fog and aftershocks spread in all directions.
Krrrrrrrr!
Kwaaaaa-
Without a word, Lordbrok and the Bone Dragon spread their wings and flew into the fog.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The scene of two giants clashing in the sky was like something out of a myth.
Paaaaat-
Just then, Theo floated the Yeouiju sun into the sky.
Gooooo!
The first priority was to get out of this melee, so the plan was to turn the tables with overwhelming destructive power.
<Japanese Eclipse>
The sun was shattered into pieces with Theo’s fierce sword swing. The pieces of the sun that were torn apart became lightning and struck the ground without stopping.
He struck the head of the Bone Dragon, broke the large tree where the Black Knight was gathered, and fell into the middle of the skeleton army, and the wave of brain energy that eventually arose pushed away even the water people.
“ji-“
Theo hesitated as he tried to send a signal to all his party to flee at once.
The lightning that was supposed to strike in two waves following the first one stopped striking and instead gathered at one point.
The great wizard who was riding on top of the bone dragon.
The lightning was being sucked into the staff he was holding.
It was as if he was a lightning rod.
“Could it be… that Richie, ‘Bluebeard’?”
Theo came to his senses at Julius’s words.
“If you say blue beard, are you talking about the current Matapju’s younger brother?”
“That’s right. A madman who wanted to open up a new realm of magic and offered the heart of his elven wife to the Demon King. He was originally good at controlling blue thunder, and his appearance was said to resemble a blue beard, so he was given that nickname. It was announced that he was dead… … No, it seems like he was hidden away and then released here.”
‘The future has changed!’
Bluebeard was a secret weapon taken out from the Magic Tower during the height of the Great War.
A blue thunder wizard who offered the heart of an elf to the Demon King and returned his soul to the Demon World.
His lightning, which had turned a dark blue color, contained magical energy and had tremendous destructive power, so many great families had to kneel before his appearance.
However, it seemed that the Magic Tower had taken out its secret weapon earlier than expected. Along with the Bone Dragon.
It seems that he had such a strong desire to obtain Hilda’s mystery… … that he lost two of his greatest powers at once.
‘As Ragnar’s pressure grew, he became impatient. And that led to the worst outcome.’
Just losing control of Bluebeard and the Bone Dragon was enough to wipe out 30% of Magic Tower’s power.

And it wasn’t just Ma-Tap who made this mistake.
The battlefront of the Water Race, which lost a large number of warriors, the Gentlemen’s Guild that sacrificed a large number of Black Gentlemen, and Mulligan’s cavalry corps that evaporated were no different.
And the difficulty of conquering Naga’s Forest has increased dramatically.
Blink!
Bluebeard, who had absorbed all the lightning, raised his staff higher.
It was as if another blue sun had risen where the Yeouiju sun had once been.
Dalgrak!
The moment the blue eyes embedded in Bluebeard’s two eyeballs seem to stare straight at Theo,
Kwarrrrrrrr-
The blue sun turned into a huge lightning bolt and poured down on Theo’s head.
“Theo!”
“Companion!”
All eyes in the group turned to Theo.
Suddenly left to handle his skills alone, Theo gripped Drake’s blade tightly, drawing his magical power to its maximum.
Thump thump thump thump!
Wheeeeeeing-
The output of the triple core has increased dramatically.
‘With the disappearance of the Yeouiju Sun, it will be difficult to take out <Hellfire> or <Yama> right away. In that case, we can somehow use <Hydra Bolt>-‘
Theo drew all his magical power into his greatsword and swung it sideways.
Kwaaaaang!
The shockwave spread in all directions with such a huge impact that it seemed as if the greatsword would break.
The ground was turned upside down, and brain debris burned the area black.
The problem was that Bluebeard’s attacks didn’t end there.
Flash! Flash! Flash!
The sight of three thunderbolts falling, each of which was in no way inferior to the previous ones, was frightening at first glance.
Theo tried to deploy the Hydra Bolt again this time.
however.
“Your abuse of power is still the same, Theo.”
A familiar voice rang in Theo’s ears.
‘Well?’
A familiar face appeared before my eyes.
Wellington Narsio.
“Long time no see.”
Hilda, why are you here when you should be with the dragon?
He smiled brightly at Theo’s questioning gaze.
As if they were going to finish talking later.
Then he pulled out his sword forcefully.
“Help me, my friends!”
Theo wondered how Wellington could possibly cope with all those men.
But such worries turned out to be for nothing.
Gooooooo-
A song that tickles your ears.
A peaceful, monotonous melody that seemed completely out of place in this fierce battlefield rang out, and then the sword Wellington was holding rang out just as loudly.
It was as if the sword was singing in response.
Woof, woof woof woof!
Wellington swung his sword quickly. With each flash of his sword energy, the blue lightning shattered into pieces.
A speed and powerful sword strike that rivals Theo’s.
I wondered when I had ever reached that level.
and.
“Let’s avoid this place first!”
When it seemed as if Bluebeard would launch a third attack, Wellington shouted urgently elsewhere.
Gooooo!
The sound of singing is heard once more.
Pfft!
Theo and his party disappeared from the scene with a feeling of being sucked into somewhere.
* * *
“Where is this place?”
“Are you awake, Theo?”
When Theo came to, the first thing he saw was a pond of infinite size.
No, can this really be called a pond?
I called it a pond because I could see lotus flowers and lotus leaves floating and carps swimming around.
Actually, I don’t think it would be an exaggeration to say that it was in front of the sea.
What’s more, the water was so clear that you could see the bottom.
As I looked at the emerald waves, my mind became clearer and all my fatigue seemed to disappear.
No, actually he was running away.
A pond filled with life, completely different from the aura of death that Theo and his party had experienced just a moment ago.
‘It’s like a condensed mana stream.’
and.
Ugh. Ugh.
There was a gaze that looked at Theo and his party while slightly sticking his head out above the pond.
Naga tribe.
A type of dragon species called the race of wise men.
However, they seemed to be wary of Theo and his party.
“human being.”
“He is human, human.”
“A human who might kill us.”
“I don’t know if it’s okay to bring humans here.”
“If you weren’t Well’s friend, I wouldn’t have brought you, human.”
“I will watch everything you do, human.”
Theo briefly recalled the information from the Black Dragon that the Naga tribe had been reduced to slavery after their village was destroyed by Hilda.
“Where is this place? Why on earth are you here?”
“that-“
Just as Wellington was about to answer,
Crunch!
Suddenly, Kincarnon and Leje each put their swords to Wellington’s neck from behind.
“First-class wanted criminal, bring in Wellington.”
“I will arrest you for harming Ragnar’s inspector.”
“… … Haa. I was afraid this would happen, so I tried my best to avoid showing myself.”
Wellington sighed as if the ground was falling apart.
However, he did not show any particular fear or wariness towards Kinkarnon and Rje’s sword.
Theo had a strong feeling that he had become much more relaxed than before.
Well, in the past, I felt like I was tightly bound somewhere.
Should I say that I’ve shaken it off and am now free?
It seemed like there was some corner of belief there.
But that doesn’t clear Wellington of the charges.
Currently, Hilda and Denglong are secretly designated as enemies of the North, and their subordinate Wellington is also classified as a target for arrest.
Wellington also seemed to have already guessed his own situation.
While Julius and Princess Plum were looking at Wellington and the area around the pond with sharp eyes.
“Je-ryong, Sak-ryong. Everyone, put down your swords.”
Kinkarnon and Leje looked at each other and then carefully lowered their swords.
Theo’s eyes deepened.
“It seems like you’ve distanced yourself from Hilda and Farrell. Could you explain what’s going on?”
Wellington scratched the ball with his index finger and nodded heavily.
“That would be a long story, but… … let’s do it.”
Wellington opened his mouth slowly.
