How the bastard of the Return Sword Family lives
Episode 248
Sublimation Gate (3)
But Wellington’s cannons did not fully reach Hilda.
It was because a dragon suddenly fell from the sky.
Denglong tried to subdue his disciple by pressing his head with his hand.
Wellington quickly twisted his body to the side to avoid the attack.
Boom!
A cloud of dust rose from where he had been, and a dragon appeared.
“Are you borrowing Naga’s power? Your senses have become much sharper.”
Wellington quickly straightened his posture and raised his sword.
“Master… … .”
“I’m grateful that you still call me that, even though I pushed you into such a dead end.”
I’m a step too late.
Wellington thought so.
When there was no Denglong, when Hilda wasn’t interested in this side, this attack should have been a direct hit.
The plan ended in failure when a dragon suddenly appeared.
Fortunately, some of it seemed to hit Hilda hard.
But I had to check to see if it hit the mark.
‘I can’t help it.’
Wellington gritted his teeth and aimed his sword at Denglong.
Since I didn’t use up all my strength, I still had some strength left to fight the dragon.
With this, I’ll subdue the dragon and aim for Hilda again.
That’s what I thought.
‘I didn’t want to hurt you, Master, but… … .’
When the world only saw his flashy appearance, the teacher who comforted the emptiness inside him and Theo.
I always respected him deeply, but I hated this situation where I couldn’t express my feelings.
“You seem to have a lot on your mind. But do you think that the path you are on now is the right one?”
As if he had read Wellington’s thoughts, Denglong laughed heartily.
As Wellington nodded heavily, he too drew his sword.
“Then why are you hesitating? Your path is yours to pioneer. Your path is right, and only your sword can prove it. So come.”
“…I will go.”
Gooooooo!
The Naga people’s songs began again.
Wellington flew away.
Paaaaat-
* * *
‘Something’s strange!’
Ray intuitively felt a strong sense of unease whenever the light from Wellington was scattered.
Thump thump thump thump!
“… … We have to stop it.”
“ray?”
“I’ve seen it. From my mother. That light.”
“what?”
Even when Princess Niel of Suseon would occasionally meditate and seek enlightenment, that kind of light would always linger around her.
When his daughter asked what this was, Niel smiled and answered like this.
The light that opens the sky.
I remembered her bitter expression, thinking that things that were always allowed for her husband were not always allowed for her.
“Raise the level. That light.”
“Really? Then that means Well gets stronger… …!”
“No. If you do that, it will sublimate.”
“… … !”
Only then did Erica realize the seriousness of the situation and her expression hardened.
“… … Now that I think about it, I’ve heard of it. In the Holy Demon Church, as the fanatics accept the power of the god they worship, their realm increases, but their life force is also consumed accordingly.”
Blood circulation harmony.
As one gets closer to the <Nameless Monarch>, the believer is able to use the god’s miracles, but their soul is gradually consumed by the god.
If there was a similar craft, Wellington could have also expended his life force in exchange for forcing sublimation.
“… … .”
“… … .”
Ray and Erika exchanged glances, and then, without saying a word, one of them moved first.
Let’s help Wellington catch the dragon first, and then subdue Wellington right away.
That kind of exchange of opinions took place first.
And Holkers, who received Erica’s transmission, moved behind Wellington.
“Catch the well! Somehow!!”
* * *
Wellington’s madness, which consumed his own life force and the wishes of the Nagas, was not a complete failure.
It hit Hilda’s left arm, who was locked in a sword fight with Theo.
Although the sword’s wings managed to pop out and block the blow, it did manage to tie her ankles for a moment.

In a battle with people like them, a moment of confusion could mean the difference between victory and defeat.
<Yeouiju Sun>
The sun exploded before Hilda’s eyes.
Hilda hurriedly deployed her magical power and stepped back.
Divine power.
As the sublimation gate was half-opened, some of the magical power transformed by the power of the god was activated, and the movement was definitely more expressive.
As if it were not of this world.
Kwaaang!
The cave she was originally staying in collapsed with a huge explosion.
The aura of death dispersed into the air, mixing with the heat and creating a fierce flame.
The vitality that had been desperately being gathered to reopen the gate of sublimation was also disappearing.
But Hilda had no time to worry about that.
The place she stepped down from.
The sun appeared again and exploded.
<Yeouiju Sun>
Kwaaaaang!
Hilda again activated her divine power mixed with magic.
But, wherever she avoided, the Yeouiju Sun would inevitably appear and burn brightly.
Theo now knew how to control the firepower of his brain.
In the past, once he accelerated it, he couldn’t control it and it only concentrated his brainpower, but after opening the triple core, even that was in his hands.
That’s how the little sun was born.
This technique of splitting the sun into very small units and placing them in various places to explode was very useful not only for multi-person battles, but also for dealing with experts like Hilda.
Kwarrrrrrung!
In an instant, the entire area is turned into scorched earth and covered in Theo’s fire.
Hilda burst out through the black smoke with an annoyed expression on her face.
The clothes that were neat were already half-burned.
His hair was disheveled, and his skin, once covered in wounds, was blackened.
“Is it okay for this child to die?”
“You don’t know anything about Evelyn, Hilda.”
Theo’s voice, still driving the Yeouiju Sun, was cold.
“Evelyn would be even more ashamed of herself for holding me back.”
「!!」
Hwaaaaak!
Before she knew it, Theo appeared in front of Hilda.
At that moment, the blades of the swords that were fighting against the Igi Sword all turned in the same direction and rained down in this direction.
It seemed like it would pierce Theo in one go, but
<Yama>
Theo was unfolding his awakening skills by drawing a lot of fire from the battlefield that had suddenly turned into an inferno.
The white uniform turned completely black.
It was as if a mythical judge had appeared, guiding the living into the world of death, and was beckoning Hilda that this was where she should go, not in heaven.
The dragon’s claws were spread out, and the sword’s wings flew out simultaneously, slicing through Evelyn’s right arm.
Phew!
Theo returned the prosthetic hand that he had given to Evelyn long ago.
‘Evelyn, I’ll give you something better.’
Theo aimed for Hilda’s neck, muttering to himself words that Evelyn would not be able to hear.
Kyaaaaang!
But that attack was absolutely unacceptable, so it was blocked midway.
Theo and Hilda stepped back, putting some distance between them.
Hilda looked a little tired.
Theo, on the other hand, was relaxed.
『Your skills have improved quite a bit. Hehe. But it was worth teaching you.』
At that moment, someone else’s voice pierced Theo’s ears.
It was the voice of a person who had been waiting for his time and had not yet appeared in this place.
Theo smiled faintly, then hardened his expression and looked at Hilda.
“Do you know what your weakness is?”
Anger settled in Hilda’s eyes.
“You dare not give it your all against me and are just looking away.”
“cheeky-“
“Do your best. Otherwise, Lady Hilda will have nothing to take away.”
Hilda was too greedy.
He tried to replenish his vitality by taking down all of Theo’s advance party members by himself.
But that was a mistake she made because she still limited Theo to the past.
Theo was never weak.
Crack!
Hilda, disguised as Evelyn, glared at Theo for a long time, then gathered all the sword wings that had been scattered in all directions into one place.
Behind her back, ten more swords were positioned.
Hilda’s eyes also soon settled into silence again.
It was like a machine with all emotions removed.
“Okay. If that’s what you want, I’ll give it my all.”
Paaaaat-
Hilda transformed into light and blasted straight at Theo.
“Let’s try to stop it.”
It felt like a huge natural disaster was coming.
‘Lady Hilda will definitely want to see a quick fight. She won’t be able to expend any more divine power.’
Even if Hilda is a demigod, she would not be able to occupy another person’s body for so long while going through all that trouble.
She was short on time.
No time to occupy Evelyn’s body, no time to open the gate of sublimation.
This was because there was a limit to the amount of life that could be held.
So, you probably want to see the results in a short amount of time.
Theo was planning to exploit Hilda’s weakness.
‘Just as I learned from my father.’
Theo gripped Drake’s blade tightly.
For a moment, the world became quiet.
Tick tock tock tock-
A clock appeared beneath my feet and its mainspring began to turn furiously.
The world slows down and thoughts accelerate.
Theo wanted to expand his senses and experience the passage of time himself.
And we wanted to confine that framework and defining space within the cognitive domain.
The medium for this was none other than himself.
light.
‘The reason why Hilda, who was about to achieve sublimation, is radiating light… is because her soul has become a photon.’
Light defeats darkness.
And it can contain information.
That is why light could become a beacon that illuminates the world.
‘Then I too will put myself in the light.’
Paat-
Theo took a big step forward.
‘It becomes a sword.’
He swung his sword.
Father, a flash of light that resembled Kyle’s cut through all of the ten swords Hilda had shot out.
No, it would be correct to say it was broken.
Just like a sand castle swept away by waves, it collapses too easily.
Hilda’s madness was no different.
“what……!”
Hilda looked surprised, as if she had never thought that her sword would be scattered so vainly, but Theo thought that this was a natural result.
The light Hilda got was fake.
Light that was simply forcibly brought in from outside.
It wasn’t that I polished my inner self and shined on my own.
It is just a faint starlight from a star embedded in the sky.
The light of a star from so far away cannot be brighter than the light of the sun that shines on its own.
That’s why the world Hilda built may look splendid on the outside, but in reality it was just a sand castle that would easily crumble with the slightest touch.
In the end, it was destined to crumble before Theo’s sun.
“That’s correct.”
Once again, I hear praise from someone who is not here.
Chaaaaang!
The greatsword he had been swinging was blocked by Hilda’s hand.
Hilda’s face was pale with anger.
“I thought it was over like this-“
Her anger did not last long.
Pufufufu!
Before that, four swords flew in stealthily and pierced her body from behind.
Phew! Phew!
Blood poured out.
It wasn’t red.
It was white blood mixed with divine power.
