The Returned Sword King Decided to Become a Tyrant Chapter 107
commotion (3)
Are you not afraid? Or is it that you feel the need to protect yourself?
Ellie blocked Roel’s path with trembling steps and spoke.
“Who, who are you?”
“Us? Oh, we were just passing by.”
“Ha, but just now it was definitely… … .”
Didn’t he just look at them with a sticky gaze?
And that mask on top of that… … .
It was such a contradictory statement.
Ellie shuddered, swallowing the words she had not yet said.
Even the young lady of a rural estate could tell that this situation was strange.
But the other person just smiled and approached me as if nothing had happened.
“What does it matter? Hey, miss, for now, should we go with these guys?”
“Oh, where?”
“There is someone looking for you right now.”
The masked man’s gaze briefly touched Roel and then dropped. The corners of his mouth were curled in a mean manner.
“Well, it would be difficult if there were witnesses, so I’ll take the boy with you.”
“… … !”
In the end, their goal was to take Ellie away. Ellie shouted, holding her trembling arms.
“Do you think we’ll be safe in the capital of Esteban? The knights will be here soon… … .”
“Don’t worry, that won’t happen. It seems like the higher-ups have already taken care of it.”
“Your Majesty, a nobleman is involved in something like this… … .”
Something was going wrong.
Thinking that way, Ellie quickly scanned her surroundings. However, all she could see was a deserted street and masked men blocking their way.
Then Roel grabbed Ellie’s clothes and said.
“… … It’s late.”
“what?”
“The knights are already gone.”
It was a short conversation, but we can infer from its content that the knights have already left this area.
“Then, then the nobles really… … .”
“I said so? Of course we don’t intend to harm you, so just follow us… … .”
Swish-!
WHAT!
“Huh! What is this!”
In that moment, the masked man who had been approaching with a loud noise stepped back because something sharp was rushing towards him.
The man who narrowly avoided it looked at the culprit with his eyes wide open like an evil spirit.
“… … This little shit.”
A pure white rapier. And a slightly shorter blade.
Although the child’s body was awkwardly lowered, there was no way he wouldn’t know what that attitude meant.
The fact that the attack that was just now rushing towards the man originated from that child.
“Ro, Roel!”
Ellie was taken aback when she saw Roel suddenly brandishing his weapon.
No, of course it’s understandable given the circumstances, but isn’t it too dangerous to suddenly point a knife at someone?
At least you should try to solve it through a story… … .
“To live.”
“huh?”
“Those people. They have no intention of letting us off. They’re trying to kill us.”
“… …Is that true?”
Ellie felt a chill at Roel’s words.
And then I suddenly realized that even though I had come to this point, I never thought my life was in danger.
It was completely different from Roel, who had launched an attack calmly. Perhaps it was because he had become accustomed to the peaceful atmosphere of the Baronial Territory.
‘Oh, what should I do… … .’
It’s obvious they’re trying to harm themselves.
It wasn’t just a matter of feeling fear.
To make matters worse, the man began to relax while holding the back of his neck.
“… … Okay. It would have been better if you had followed me when I spoke nicely, but if you come off like that, I have no choice but to drag you along.”
It was a contradiction from the start that he had already attempted kidnapping, but there was no time to worry about that now.
The man growled and gestured towards his four remaining colleagues.
“The client didn’t ask me to bring him in good health, so I’ll just break a few places.”
“We don’t need that kid with the knife, so let’s just kill him and leave. The knife looks expensive, so can we split it between us?”
“okay.”
Swish-
The masked men each took out a rusty dagger from their pockets and began to approach.
But Roel, who had pushed Ellie back, instead ran towards them and raised his sword.
It was a movement without any hesitation or fear.
“… … Roel!”
Swish!

Soon, pure white swords were scattered in an instant.
At the end of that relentless stabbing trajectory was the arm of the man who had first threatened them.
And the man who was caught off guard by the conversation with his colleagues was unable to avoid it.
Phew-!
“Ahhhhh!”
The sound of leather and flesh piercing echoed through the deserted alley. The masked man staggered, clutching his blood-stained arm. Then the dagger in his hand fell to the ground.
“How dare you!”
“That kid!”
It was because I let my guard down.
I never thought that little brat could hurt someone.
Of course, it could also be because the speed at which the sword was swung was faster than expected.
Only then did the men raise their guard and flash with a determination to live.
“… … It’s light.”
“It seems like a better knife than I thought?”
Of course, it is self-evident that this emotion is rooted in greed rather than the injury of a colleague.
Tadadot!
Swish!
The masked men rushed at them at the same time. And as if responding, Roel’s arm moved again.
Towards the man running at the very front… … .
“Oh my!”
“……ah!”
“Kuuuuu!”
… … missed the mark.
Surprisingly, the black air that was quickly stabbed away only pierced through and stopped in vain.
The man who dodged the sword smiled bitterly as if he found something so funny.
“Hehehe, even though I look like this, I’m still a member of the underworld, so attacks like that from a brat like you won’t work.”
“… … .”
The advantage of the rapier lies in its overwhelming reach when extended.
The length of the sword that forces the opponent to come within the desired range, and the user’s movements that control it.
But the current Roel was too weak to control such things.
Skill level, physical ability, everything was significantly lower.
How many parts can you target with that small body? And what if there are bad guys rushing in and you don’t have time to spare?
That’s why the man pierced through it and leisurely destroyed the attack.
Swish!
“… … .”
Meanwhile, four daggers were stabbing me from all directions.
Now, Roel’s movements were following the First Prince’s teachings as calmly as possible.
But that doesn’t mean I could completely adapt to the unfamiliar real-life situation.
Phew!
“……ah.”
“Roel!”
In the end, Roel managed to dodge three daggers, but was forced to get stabbed in the shoulder by one of the remaining daggers.
Could it be considered fortunate that it was the other side that held the sword? The hem of Roel’s robe gradually began to become soaked in red blood.
“Keu-keu!”
However, the villain who succeeded in hitting the target did not stop, and continued to kick the still hesitant Roel.
puck!
Kkudangtang!
There was no way a child could withstand the sincere attack of a grown man.
The small body that had been kicked in the stomach was sent flying and crashed down to the ground.
Soon, a little dust rose, and the white rapier flew through the air before striking the ground.
“Wow, it sure looks expensive.”
The man picked it up and flicked his tongue slightly, hidden under his mask.
Of course, it didn’t take long for that expression to change to interest.
“Huh? I thought it was made of rare metal, but it’s just plain iron? And yet it’s so light and strong? How on earth is this possible?”
The more I looked at it, the more amazing it became. It was as if it was not a weapon made by human hands…
At that moment, the assailant who was holding the arm from which blood was flowing out shouted.
“Is this crazy?
“Oh, wait a minute. You might have something else.”
“f*ck! You can do that even after you kill him!”
“How noisy. You just got hit by a kid.”
“what?!”
The man who was examining the sword shook his head and ignored the man’s words.
If I had been stabbed in the torso, I would have been able to collect the commission fee and the sword’s share more securely…
“… … Cool.”
“Tsk.”
One of the man’s eyes squinted at the sound of the child’s cough.
But that was then.
“hmm?”
Suddenly, the man’s eyes caught sight of the child’s nape.
The white lines and the purple jewels that make up them. The geometrical shape, reminiscent of an expensive artifact from a magic tower, was clearly a form that the man was familiar with.
‘……necklace?’
The man’s eyes, looking at the necklace revealed between the nape of her neck, became wet with desire.
It looked expensive. It was so valuable that it was hard to compare it to a mere sword.
“… … .”
Swish-
The man quickly reached for the necklace, forcibly cut the string, and quickly put it in his pocket.
At that moment, everyone’s gaze was focused on the injured colleague. So, this necklace was completely his.
‘Kuuuuu. Now I just need to take the remaining women to the client… … .’
That was the moment when the corners of the man’s mouth went up in satisfaction.
“……huh?”
Something, an unknown sensation, passed through the man’s skin.
It was the same for his other colleagues, as four pairs of eyes revealed through the masks were looking at him.
… … No, more precisely, a little later than that, the sensation of that moment became vivid and I was heading towards the place.
Right, to the child who was lying quietly on the ground… … .
Woooooooooo-
“Kwaaak!”
“what?!”
And then the change happened in an instant.
Perhaps it was just a fleeting moment. A strong wind blew and instantly pushed the man standing in front of the child away.
bang-!
“… … Ugh!”
“hey!”
“what’s the matter!”
The man, who had been blown several meters in the blink of an eye, hit his head on the ground and passed out.
The masked men, who had let their guard down, thinking that everything was over, quickly took out the daggers they had put away, showing their alertness.
But the thugs who had been expressing such embarrassment never moved from their seats.
“Hey, what is that?”
The child who had clearly been attacked and fallen was getting up.
However, if they had just been getting up normally, they wouldn’t have had to stiffen up.
“… … floating in the air?”
The child’s body was being held in the air as if being pulled by something.
It was not the body that was raising itself on its own. Something else was raising the body.
And there was something that was giving off an eerie aura that was enough to make them uneasy… … .
As I was backing away from that unbelievable situation, the man who had first stabbed me in the arm shouted with a distorted face.
“What are you freaking out about, you little punks! That little punk doesn’t even have a weapon!”
“Is that so… … .”
“Eight! You useless brats!”
The man, with his eyes filled with anger and pain, approached the child, holding a dagger in his other hand.
It was to kill the guy with his own hands.
But at that moment, when the dagger he was holding tightly was about to pierce into the body that was suspended in the air,
Crunch-
“… … !”
Instead, a fountain of blood flowed from the man’s body. And in an instant, the body became a cold corpse and rolled around on the floor.
dump-
“… … .”
The masked men stared blankly at the scene, unable to understand the situation.
It wasn’t that I didn’t understand, it was just that fear took over my body.
That would be so… … .
“… … What is that?”
In an instant, something suddenly emerged from the child’s hand, where there should have been nothing.
The rippling air. And the hazy, deep blue shapes. And finally, the murderous intent that makes your body shiver.
“……knife?”
It was a collection of energy made up of pure mana.
