How the bastard of the Return Sword Family lives
Episode 251
Sublimation (1)
Dozens of half-swords placed like a graveyard.
A person quietly landed on the sword hilt.
widely!
Kyle looked at the world with his arms crossed.
Hahahahahahaha!
Seeing that sight, Emperor Gwangryong laughed.
A roaring laugh.
It was crazy.
The sound was so loud that it shook the entire forest of Naga.
It was as if a natural disaster had occurred.
Woof woof!
And when he curled the corners of his lips in a smirk, the good-natured smile he had been showing until then disappeared without a trace.
A demonic image took hold of his face.
“Who is this! Isn’t this our proud son! Do you know how much this father has missed you!!”
As expected, the laughter was loud and clear.
It was as if a storm had come, the air was pushed away, and the trees, whose roots were already exposed, fell like dominoes.
But Kyle didn’t move at all, only his hair slightly waving.
His face was filled with nothing but coldness.
“Do I really need to know?”
“Right! You don’t need to know! That’s just how it is. Even though fathers are always curious and worried about how their children are doing, children are so busy making their own lives that they rarely even get to say hello to their fathers.”
“If someone heard me, it would seem like I was acting like a good parent.”
“But I think I’ve done everything I can as a father, right?”
“Illusions are also a part of nature.”
“Oh, isn’t that so? Then there’s nothing I can do.”
One corner of Gwangryongje’s mouth curled up.
Tsk tsk tsk!
A black shadow loomed behind him.
“But what is a father’s duty? Isn’t it to lead and push his son to surpass his father? In that sense, I think my duty has been fulfilled.”
Kyle didn’t answer.
They were still just crossing their arms.
“So now I will take back that obligation.”
Paat-
The Light Dragon turned into a ray of light and rushed towards Kyle.
* * *
“house owner!!”
“What should I do if it shows up in a place like this?”
The eyes of the advance party dragons who discovered Kyle widened.
‘father!!’
Theo also suppressed the urge to call Kyle for a moment.
The fact that Kyle showed up at this moment meant a huge decision.
-My father thinks of this place as the last battlefield.
I felt it from the moment you first said we would compete together.
It seems like you’ve made a big pledge to yourself.
Kyle always refused to sublimate.
So, he swung his sword as little as possible, and even when he did show himself, it was only for a brief moment.
Even when he taught Theo how to use a sword, he was very determined.
The intention is to make you realize the world of light speed.
But that ‘moment’ was impossible against the Gwangryongje and Hilda.
I couldn’t figure out why he suddenly made that decision.
Perhaps he thought that the Gwangryongje and Hilda, who could be considered legacies of the old days, should not be allowed to run wild like this.
But this was Kyle’s choice.
Theo did not object to it. Rather, he intended to respect his father’s choice.
“I’ll stop these two somehow. You break the sublimation gate.”
Theo nodded and turned his body away as soon as he heard Kyle’s message.
The most urgent task now was to prevent the damage from spreading further through the sublimation ritual rather than stopping those two.
“Where!!”
Hilda tried to move in this direction, her expression distorted as she read Theo’s thoughts.
Chaeaaaaaang!
A fairly large half-sword leapt up and blocked his path.
Hilda reflexively drew her lightsaber and stepped back, flicking it aside.
Her burning gaze turned to Kyle.
At that moment, Kyle was still standing on the half-sword, blocking the attack of the rushing Gwangryongje with the back of his hand.
The force that deflected the full-power blow of the Gwangryongje without a hitch was also a force.
Even while dealing with him, the leisure with which he glanced at Hilda was even more astonishing.
“You… … !”

“I’ll try to imitate the show-off you were trying to be a little while ago. What do you think?”
Pfft!
As soon as he finished speaking, another half-sword that had been stuck in the floor shot up like an arrow and aimed for Hilda’s left cheek.
Hilda hurriedly turned her head to the side to dodge, and drew her ten swords.
Ugh!
My teeth are chapped.
The devil’s anger grew stronger.
“Are you… playing with me?”
Just as Hilda had treated the Nine Dragons as a young underling who needed to be guided, Kyle couldn’t stand the fact that he was being treated that way.
Kyle, unlike Theo, was a half-chosen one.
I was upset that I was being pushed aside by that guy to achieve enlightenment.
Above all… … it was visible to Hilda’s eyes.
The fact that a tiny particle of light was floating above Kyle’s shoulder.
It was the light of sublimation.
A miraculous phenomenon that occurs when those who have reached divinization in the Pantheon are called to heaven to be given divine powers.
When you are engulfed in that light, your body breaks apart and merges with your soul, and your soul eventually ascends to heaven as a spirit.
The result she had been longing for but had not been able to obtain was right before her eyes!
The problem was that Kyle was rejecting that glorious moment.
The proof of this was that the light of sublimation was about to rise and then return to its original place.
Hilda couldn’t control her anger.
What a shitty moment, where those who desperately want something are denied it, and those who refuse are forced to have it.
Does this even make sense?
It’s unfair.
Hilda truly thought so.
So, it seemed like I had to somehow climb up to the Pantheon and burn everything down.
Tsk tsk tsk!
Hilda’s pupils turned pitch black.
Not only the whites of the eyes, but even the red pupils.
A horrifying sight, as if set with black pearls.
On the other hand, the complexion had turned pale and it looked like a human being, but it was no longer human.
“… … Have you finally given up the last bit of your pride? Tsk.”
Kyle clicked his tongue lightly.
Unlike the Gwangryongje who had gone mad early on, Hilda and I had maintained a fairly good relationship.
It seemed like that relationship had to end right here.
The foreign news agency that Hilda signed a contract with is another entity different from the <Nameless Monarch>.
Even in the case of <The Nameless Monarch>, it would not have been strange at all if another being had appeared in a troublesome situation and the world had been driven to destruction.
So Kyle planned to eliminate Hilda as well before any further foreign intervention occurred.
‘At least before my sublimation is complete!!’
He is the one who carries out Ragnar’s duty of protecting the world.
I could never forgive my two ancestors for neglecting their duty and becoming stooges of foreign media.
Dash! Dash! Dash!
Hilda’s ten swords turned into rays of light and poured down on Kyle.
Not only did the sword grave that had been stuck in the ground flip over and cut off all of the light wings, it also turned into a gust of wind and covered Hilda.
Chaechaechaechae!
And he held his sword straight up against the Gwangryongje.
“I’ll tear it for you.”
He was a servant of the <Nameless Monarch> who had been tormenting him for a long time.
I wanted to tear that ugly body apart with these hands.
An opponent I once defeated.
Can’t you say twice?
“Let’s take a look at how much our son has grown!”
Hahahahaha!
The Gwangryongje moved while bursting into laughter.
Wheeeeeeeeeek-
* * *
Black Dragon led an army and rushed to the scene of the incident.
There, Ragnar’s reinforcements and the beastmen who had come to protect the Gale Blade were in a standoff.
Judging by the corpses strewn everywhere, a fierce battle had definitely taken place.
“What the hell is going on!!”
The black dragon flew forward, his breath crackling loudly, and landed between the two legions.
Then, the leader of the Gale Wind Sword Sect and the warrior leader of the Water Tribe, who had been growling at each other, took a couple of steps back.
The black dragon’s gaze beyond the mask was extremely murderous.
It’s because he showed weakness to Theo, but the Black Dragon is originally called Ragnar’s hidden sword.
He was so notorious even in the empire that it was said that only death always follows him wherever he goes.
“Robert.”
“Tabaek! You have to explain properly what this is.”
The Suin tribe boasted a mostly warlike nature, to the point where they included the word ‘front’ in their union, and in fact, they considered struggle to be their highest value.
They believed that it was all thanks to their values that they were able to secure their own interests to this extent against humans who were the rulers of the world.
For this reason, the title of warrior commander was not simply given to warriors who were good at fighting, but also gave them the qualifications to lead them.
Tabek has been serving as the commander for a long time, to the point where he has had long-standing relations with the Black Dragon Robert.
As expected of the White Tiger Tribe, its white mane and sturdy body made the Black Dragon’s skin sting just by facing it.
“It is not our fault. It is all your fault, Ragnar.”
“Are you saying that we were the ones who provoked you first?”
“Then? Or not? We want to go in there and seize the mystery. But you Ragnar are the ones who are stopping us!”
The expression on the black dragon’s face behind the mask was slightly distorted.
In the end, it was the mystery of the guy that was the problem.
A cursed power that can either revive or ruin a clan.
Originally, it was a power left by the <Guardians> for mortals to protect this world from external threats.
Since when have mortals been busy using it to satisfy their own selfish desires, ignoring such intentions?
But the Black Dragon didn’t bring up such a grand story.
Anyway, they won’t even listen to it, and it won’t even make sense to those who are already blinded by greed.
So, there’s only one thing left.
Choaaaak!
The black dragon raised his sword high and swung it down hard.
A long line remained in front of Tabek.
Tabek’s face distorted.
“Are you going to stop them all, Robert? We just need to get the mysteries. Don’t you, Ragnar, have the blessing of the primordial dragon? We need that blessing too! Give it to us! Then I swear that we, the beastmen, will be your eternal allies, Ragnar!”
As the Suin tribe values struggle as their highest value, they also attach a heavy meaning to their oaths.
That promise must have been the consensus of the entire Suin Tribe Front, not just Tabek’s own idea.
‘Do you want mystery so badly…?’
It was a dizzying experience.
But Robert had absolutely no intention of refusing Theo’s orders.
“What if it doesn’t work?”
“Then we, the Water People, will fight against you Ragnar until the end and die!!”
“We will fight!”
“We will fight!”
“We will fight!!!”
At Tabek’s shout, the other Suin warriors behind him simultaneously erupted in cheers.
There was tremendous spirit.
Choo choo choo choo!
At this, the Ragnar swordsmen who had followed the black dragon all readjusted their swords.
Now the only thing better was war.
It was at that time that the Black Dragon was worried whether he could change Tabek’s mind while ordering the absolute shooter.
Kukuku… … !
The forest shook.
“This is… … ?”
As if sensing something, Black Dragon and Tabek simultaneously turned their heads toward the forest.
In the dark forest of Naga… … something was approaching.
