Regressing as the Reincarnated Bastard of the Sword Clan Chapter 253

How the bastard of the Return Sword Family lives

Episode 253

Sublimation (3)

The red jewel adorning the main staff was emitting a faint, ominous light.

The light poured down and gently settled on the undead.

‘Is that it?’

The black dragon’s eyes narrowed.

I figured that it was what strengthened and controlled the undead.

It became somewhat understandable why the undead, who only had the instinct to kill, were using strategies like they were doing now instead of rushing in all at once.

“····All Ragnar troops are in battle readiness. Be on guard to the left, right, and rear.”

The black dragon quietly gave orders to the army.

The reason was that ‘Ragnar’ was not there.

To be exact, only a very small number of people can see the appearance of Heukseol.

That is why there was room for misunderstanding.

That all of this was Ragnar’s scheme.

There was also a possibility that war could break out between the various forces.

‘For an undead, you’re quite clever, Bluebeard.’

The black dragon laughed bitterly.

The undead were not on the offensive right now to cause such chaos.

And then I took a deep breath.

“All armies, draw up your ranks. Ragnar will take the lead!”

As if he would not be fooled by such intentions, the black dragon raised its flag facing the rear.

The black dragon recalled the time of the military council.

Theo had given his opinion on the position of the army.

-The bond between the units belonging to Winterer and the units in the northeast region is different, so it would be better to separate them.

That was a reasonable statement.

Although Theo ruled the Northeast well, differences in command of the army were inevitable.

-The idea is to have a reserve force spread out over two layers. Deep in the rear, to act as reinforcements or as a wedge for the attack.

Looking at the might of the Northeastern Army, it was an army that could be called a strong army without any exaggeration.

It seemed as if Theo was trying to save his own troops by deploying such troops in the rear.

Now that it had come to this point, somehow it also felt like one of Theo’s schemes.

‘You didn’t expect that, did you? Hehe.’

The formation Theo proposed was not only suitable for this situation, but also for a complete victory even when facing four forces.

Kukukukung-!

A thick cloud of dust rose up from behind, making it look like a sandstorm.

Kieeeeeek-!

Ragnar’s banner began to appear.

Theo’s northeastern army finally arrived on the battlefield and began to roar.

-Hey, what is that······!

-Ragnar is sending another strange army…!

-You even use Drake and Fairy Dragon as your riders! What on earth have you done?

-There were reports of intelligence, but was it really possible to operate such a unit···?

The emergence of a new air force and the overwhelming size of the Drake force were enough to shock each faction.

-Ragnar! Ragnar!

With the appearance of Kang-gun, Ragnar’s army’s morale was boosted again and they began to cheer Ragnar loudly.

The black dragon’s heart also began to feel hot.

A newly established new generation military.

This is the place where the army is currently on its first expedition.

Additionally, the one currently commanding the army is the Black Dragon.

“Haha! This is fun, this is fun. My heart still makes this sound.”

The black dragon bursts into laughter as he draws Theo in the forest,

The situation has gradually become more extreme.

* * *

Chae-Ang-! Chae-Ang-!

The sound of swords clashing filled the area.

The blows that burned the spark of life occasionally sent the dragon’s body flying far away.

“Are you planning to die? Well.”

Denglong had mixed feelings.

Even though they are now facing each other with swords, the two are still priests.

Wellington was even more affectionate towards Denglong because he was his own disciple.

There were more than one or two times when I thought of you as my child.

That disciple is now blocking his path, risking his life.

There was no way his feelings wouldn’t be complicated.

“······If you stop now, you can live. I will help you. Even though you may never hold a sword again, you still have to save your life, right? So, this is enough. Well.”

Denglong shook off Wellington, lowered his sword, and held out his hand.

He had already decided where he would die, but Wellington’s death was not included in the process.

That’s why I wanted to save him somehow.

I really wish you would hold my hand.

“Hey, the inspector… how can you put down your sword and say, ‘Cough!’, ‘Save my life…’ Not to mention, even if you extend my life, if I can’t hold the sword, I don’t have the confidence to live.”

“·········.”

A light came into Wellington’s eyes.

He gripped the sword tightly again, as if he was about to let go at any moment.

The sight was so pitiful that Deungryong frowned.

‘It’s been a long time since I’ve seen an opponent I don’t want to fight like this.’

Denglong reluctantly took his hand away.

All around me, I saw the siblings Ray and Erika, who had fallen to the dragon’s hands.

“If you don’t step down now, I will take the lives of those children. But, if you say you will live, I promise not to do that.”

Wellington’s gaze turned to his friends.

My dear friends who aimed their swords at Denglong to save me, and who helped me deal with the monsters when he started going berserk, allowing me to focus only on Denglong.

Even Denglong was saying that he wanted to save himself.

Tears welled up in Wellington’s eyes.

Honestly, I wanted to live.

I wanted to accept Denglong’s offer and live the future with my friends.

However, it was impossible to accept Denglong’s proposal.

The future he dreams of is one where he stands by Theo’s side and becomes his sword, becoming a hero who bravely defeats his enemies.

That’s why I put more strength into my grip on the sword.

“···If I send my master to Hilda’s side, I won’t be worthy of seeing Theo later.”

Wellington smiled sadly and aimed his sword at Denglong.

Even if I make a choice to save my friends, won’t they really criticize me?

No, as far as Wellington knows, they would hate to be a burden to Theo.

‘Please blame me for making this choice. I will accept it all.’

Then I should go.

Even if he couldn’t aim for Donggwijin, he had to at least get one arm as payment for his life.

Wellington’s body turned into a ray of light and rushed towards Denglong.

In Denglong’s eyes, it looked pitiful, like a moth flying into a flame.

‘Just like this, to Well······.’

Deungryong thought for a moment that it would be okay if he died like this.

But soon I came to my senses.

It is true that this forest of Naga is a place of death.

But not by Wellington’s side.

Because there is still work left for Denglong to do.

“I always feel sorry for you.”

Denglong looked at Wellington with a sad expression.

He gripped the sword with difficulty.

“Please, forgive me…”

Phew-!

And the sound of piercing flesh echoed mournfully,

Chaaaa …

It started to pour rain.

* * *

Theo suddenly looked back as he was running towards the sublimation gate.

“Why? Is there an enemy behind you?”

Julius opened his eyes in puzzlement, but there was no sign of anything.

Theo himself couldn’t figure out why he had turned around.

“No. Let’s keep going.”

There was never any concern about Kyle.

I think there must be a reason, but I haven’t thought about it deeply yet.

Breaking the sublimation gate.

Theo hurried his steps because it was Kyle’s order and the most urgent task.

‘The number of monsters has decreased significantly. Are they going outside?’

I had been attacked by the undead quite a few times along the way, but the frequency had decreased significantly recently, which raised a question.

“I’m trying to get out because of the reckless driving. This place has already been ‘eroded’.”

So the undead turned their gaze outward.

To expand the erosion area.

“The Black Dragon will handle it well.

As he spoke, Julius advanced, slashing at the undead rushing towards him.

Belief in the black dragon.

Because not only Julius, but also Princess Plum and Theo have it.

So he had to put aside all other worries and focus on just one thing.

Now, towards the sublimation gate that comes into view.

* * *

The emergence of a new force brought a fresh wind to the battlefield.

In particular, the breakthrough power of Drake’s force was beyond imagination.

Kwakakakwang!

-······.

-Isn’t that almost a tactical weapon?

-Is it Ragnar again this time?

The reckless charge, regardless of terrain, easily broke down the undead’s defenses, and with each charge within, dozens of undead soared into the sky.

On the Air Force side, the Fairy Dragon was showing off its splendor and bombing the surrounding area.

“Crush all the undead! Show overwhelming power!”

The riders of the Fairy Dragon and Drake raised their voices and encouraged their morale.

For the Northeastern Army, this sortie has quite a special meaning.

It was a glorious first sortie after much preparation and vomiting.

Although they were slightly dissatisfied with being assigned to the rear reserve, they arrived on the battlefield and knew that they would be the ones to put a wedge in the situation, so everyone’s morale was boosted.

“Victory for Theo!”

Also, their morale was through the roof as they had the goal of giving victory to their lord, Theo.

‘The remaining armed forces will be greatly shocked.’

The black dragon looked at the troops with a bitter expression.

The expressions of Ragnar’s representative armed forces, including the White Armored Corps, the Red Sword Knights, and the Blue Sword Guards, were all in shock.

From this point on, the unit Ragnar boasted of has now become an old unit.

The Drake unit took over as the strongest unit in land warfare, replacing the Black Iron Troops that had been heroically destroyed along with Thorkel.

And then, the black dragon’s eyes flashed open.

“···Was that really your intention?”

Theo’s placement of troops in the rear was also considered a gifted eye for war.

But it was only when the situation got to this point that I was able to figure out Theo’s intentions.

To be exact, when I felt Kyle appear there, it was Kyle’s retirement announcement that came to mind.

And then, as if a puzzle was automatically put together in the Black Dragon’s mind, a picture emerged.

“It’s a generational change.”

This battlefield is a launching pad for the generations that will lead Ragnar and the world in the future.

Because this was Theo’s message to the world, delivered in this place where many forces had gathered.

‘Somehow he showed his teeth openly even to the royal family.’

The black dragon looked at the three undead, who were irritating him, laughing out loud.

Tan Mulligan, Bone Dragon, and Bluebeard.

“What a wonderful nephew. To have given me such joy in my later years.”

The black dragon stepped onto the battlefield and hid in the shadows of the battlefield, targeting Bluebeard, the most dangerous element.
