How the bastard of the Return Sword Family lives
Episode 247
Sublimation Gate (2)
But they had no time to delay.
“I will go first.”
Theo moved before the rest of the group could say anything.
Pot! Pot! Pot! Pot! Pot!
The four divine swords first became rays of light and cut through the air.
Following him, Theo galloped through the air on Drake’s blade.
Sword flight.
It was a skill that could only be achieved by reaching a level much higher than that of the Igi Sword.
Phaaaat!
“I thought something was bothering me. It was you.”
At that moment, a voice resonated through the air.
‘Evelyn!’
Theo realized that the voice was all too familiar.
But the will contained there was absolutely not Evelyn’s.
“Hilda! You have to do it!!”
Julius also realized this fact, his face turned bright red, and he kicked the ground hard.
Kwaaaaang!
He leaped forward in one bound as if he were a boulder being catapult-loaded, and with a fierce air of aggression, he landed at the cave entrance before Theo.
Gooooo-
The swirling aura of death has gathered into one.
It was like looking at a sword of enormous size.
The black magic that swirled around Julius took the shape of a dragon and swung its tail wildly.
<Dragon’s Six Arts – Dragon’s Descent>
Kwarrrrrrung-
Woof woof!
The shock wave shook the forest floor.
The cave entrance collapsed, and a crack ran down the entire cliff, causing it to collapse.
Amidst the billowing dust, a ray of light shot through the gaps in the fallen rocks.
A force expanded from within and pushed the pile of rocks away.
A pillar of light was erected, and a human figure floated inside it.
Evelyn declared with her eyes closed and her lips curled into a smile.
“I knew that if I kept waiting like this, you would come to me someday. Theo, the offer I made to you a long time ago still stands.”
Evelyn, no, Hilda, who was wearing Evelyn’s skin, reached out this way.
“Come to me. Become my disciple and inherit everything from me. I will give you the sword I have made, the path I have made, and the sublimation I will achieve.”
Theo shook his head.
“No. Please give it back first.”
“what?”
“Evelyn. She is my sword. Not yours.”
“If you become my successor, what you have will also become mine. Forget about these vain illusions of this world. A bright future awaits you that is incomparable to this.”
“then.”
Theo’s eyes glowed eerily.
“Negotiations have broken down.”
“How foolish, really.”
Wedge!
Four rays of light intersected and slashed Hilda.
In an instant, a new beam of light appeared behind Hilda’s back, elongated and branched out like wings.
The ten lights looked like the halo of a saint chosen by God.
<Ten Swords of Light>
It was a craft that Hilda created as she gained enlightenment in her later years.
The sword’s wings shot forward simultaneously.
Four of those wings clashed with the sword in the air.
The remaining six fell in front of the rest of the group.
Julius, who had already landed on the ground, was quickly swinging his sword.
Dragon meat.
Every time he swung his sword, a flash of darkness so ominous it felt like the end was coming, striking the ground.
Hilda’s sword, which countered this, was so dazzling that it made one think it was the sword of a warrior who saved the world.
Darkness and light fought each other, causing fierce destruction.
The Plum Princess drew a lot of sword flowers in full bloom and stood against the sword’s wings.
She had intended to bury her wings in the flower grave,
Tsk tsk tsk-
The sword’s wings then branched out into dozens of smaller wings, aiming at various points at once, such as the Plum Blossom Princess’ arms, waist, sides, back, and lower body.
Tata dadadang!
Plum Palace Lady’s sword speed has become much faster.
The quick sword pushed away all the light rays, but it seemed far from repelling them.
“this!”

The other two were attached to Leje and Kinkarnon respectively.
Rize did a somersault while running and then raised his scythe sharply.
The sword’s wings soared into the air.
Did you remove it?
I had that thought for a moment, but then suddenly the wings that seemed to be ready to face Kinkarnon changed direction halfway.
“Damn it! This is against the rules… … !”
Of course, Hilda knew full well that there was no way she would listen to Rize’s complaints, so she quickly twisted her body and barely managed to brush it away.
But by then, the sword that had been deflected was already drawing a parabolic curve and aiming for the nape of her neck.
He thought he was going to die, so he filled his left hand with magical power and sprayed it, but here again, the blade of the sword changed direction halfway and aimed for Rize’s Adam’s Apple without hitting Rize’s palm.
“!!!”
Is this kind of inspection possible?
The law of inertia was such an unexpected movement that there was no way to stop it.
My mind went blank as I wondered if I should just endure this.
Then, Kinkarnon suddenly appeared from the side and pushed it away.
Kwaaaaang!
“Wake up. That person is absolutely not someone who should be judged by our common sense.”
“… … I know. Who doesn’t know that?”
“No. From what you’re doing right now, it seems like you have no idea?”
“… … .”
“To exaggerate a bit, the author has already lived for nearly two hundred years. His life experience is different from ours. A direct confrontation would only lead to death. On top of that, he has already stepped onto the threshold of the Pantheon… … It would be no exaggeration to say that he is just a monster.”
Crack!
Leje ground his teeth hard.
Unlike Kinkarnon, who was indifferent, her eyes were bloodshot.
Because she had such a strong desire to win, even if her opponent was Hilda, her pride would not allow her to be defeated like this.
“Then what do you want to do?”
“I need to think about it from now on.”
“……what?”
“Do you know what kind of solution I have?”
What kind of guy is this?
Judging from the way he talked nonsense with such a serious face, he was definitely crazy.
I was about to tell him to just get out since there was no need, but Kinkarnon added something.
“So let’s stand back to back.”
“?”
“If we fight together, we will see some way out.”
So, to put it simply, let’s roll the ball together, right?
Are you really going to beat around the bush like that?
But Rize didn’t argue about that.
Kinkarnon was right.
If you fight the Sword Wing one-on-one here, you’ll end up giving Hilda your neck.
But if the two of them worked together, they would be able to fill in each other’s shortcomings.
“Then let’s run as fast as we can to where Hilda is.”
“Why?”
“That would make things more chaotic. Wouldn’t that make it harder for people to pay attention to us?”
“That makes sense.”
“And… … We won’t be able to win if we only deal with scarecrows. We have to look for an opening.”
“good night.”
The two leapt forward.
Two wings followed after it.
To somehow block their approach.
* * *
Wellington thought.
‘We must eliminate Hilda as quickly as possible before Master appears.’
Of course, I knew it wouldn’t be easy.
The fact that one had crossed the threshold of the sublimation gate meant that one had already developed a great realm.
Deification.
The process of becoming a true god is right before our eyes.
No matter what happened, Hilda’s elimination was the top priority.
But the situation was too complicated.
You never know when the great clans like the Tower of Dawn, the Suin Tribe Front, the Gentlemen’s Guild, and the Mulligans might come rushing into Naga’s Forest looking for allies.
If we do that, we will only be hearing the number of undead, and the quiet Seunghwamun will become active again.
But the biggest problem was leaving it to the dragons to exploit.
Although Denglong was an excellent swordsman, he was also a strategist.
If he had let the undead do as they pleased… …then things could have really gotten messed up.
‘The strangely quiet Holy Demon Church… … is dangerous. All of them.’
So Wellington was thinking of risking his life.
“Well! We’ll help you! But if you change your mind, we’ll stop. So stop. “
“Well, isn’t it dangerous?”
“We want to live with you. You are our friend. But right now, this could kill you.”
Gooooo-
Now, the sound of Naga’s song was ringing in Wellington’s ears.
The group was told that this place was too dangerous, so they hid in the pond or went back to the sanctuary.
Actually, it was a lie. They were waiting.
And he sang a song that only Wellington could hear.
A song of blessing.
Perhaps due to the magical power being multiplied several times, his senses were more acute than ever.
Beyond the expanded field of view.
Hilda was still seen hanging on the pillar of light.
I pointed my sword at him.
‘No. Please.’
『Well! Well!』
“We!”
‘That’s my wish, my friends.’
『… … If you say that, we have no choice but to help you. Because friends are precious and so are the wishes of friends.』
“Okay, I’ll listen.”
Gooooooo!
The chorus got louder.
The magical power was amplified dozens of times again.
Phaaaah!
Wellington’s body was engulfed in a halo.
What arose like a halo soon became a pillar of light that, although smaller than Hilda, was in no way inferior in brightness.
Likewise, the wings of the sword that were created behind his back split apart and were sucked into the sword, becoming one.
“Well?”
“What is this! How can you have the same skills as Lady Hilda… …!”
The expressions of the siblings Ray and Erika standing next to me hardened.
Ray, whose inspiration was especially keen compared to other people, felt something unusual.
Wellington’s fortunes had suddenly risen too high.
“Are you saying this is dangerous?”
If you think about it a little, it couldn’t be normal.
Although Wellington’s skill level is considered high among his peers, he tries to force himself to have swordsmanship similar to Hilda’s.
Even now, they still have difficulty approaching him.
Could it really be that these aftereffects are insignificant?
Wellington laughed.
Ten Swords Gwangik is a sword technique that Deungryong has taught for a long time.
However, I only learned the form and did not deeply understand the details of its composition.
It was because the level of skill was lacking.
However, the Naga tribe is a race that can encourage their comrades through song, and even raise them to a higher level.
Moreover, the sublimation ritual was originally something they were in charge of.
If you mix these two, wouldn’t you be able to extract some really strong power?
Although the price was high, Wellington felt that it was not too much to pay for his life.
Aren’t you already saved by Evelyn?
So it was only natural that I write for Evelyn and for my friends.
“Ray, Erica, Holkus.”
And this last moment.
I was so grateful to be able to do this with my friends.
“Be happy.”
Before Ray could even hurriedly reach out his hand.
Flash!
A pillar of light exploded around Wellington.
