The Returned Sword King Decided to Become a Tyrant Chapter 221
Dawn is breaking (2)
Ss …
Polluted air that is gradually suffocating us from all sides.
I lightly moved the tips of my fingers against it, which was now touching my skin.
“… … I see.”
The eyes become narrow and squinty.
The emperor’s body writhed with pleasure as he confirmed this.
“How is the power of the poison produced by this body?”
Invincible to all poisons.
A knight who has reached the level of a superman will have a body that can resist any poison.
But if this thing that filled the atmosphere was some kind of curse that would destroy both body and mind, as the bastard said.
“Even the aura that is the source of that power will be eaten away by the ten thousand spirits! Little by little, little by little! I will take away all your strength and control your body!”
The Sword Master’s unique resistance becomes useless.
Instead, you become prey to that power, and your entire body is consumed faster than ever before.
The lips of the man who had been explaining so happily suddenly became cold and hard.
“So, right now, you are nothing more than a young child who has only learned swordsmanship.”
Ss …
Wooooow!
The shadow that had been hovering over the bastard’s feet began to sway and lengthen.
After a while, I lightly lifted my palm and it took shape and rose up.
A pitch-black sword that doesn’t reflect even a single sliver of light.
Swish-
chuck-!
The guy took it in his hand and slowly aimed it at me.
And when the mouth finally opened, two pairs of wings were spread out.
“You will wander the underworld forever, unable to live or die.”
Ppaang-!
A black afterimage was carved into the air along with a deafening crackle.
At the same time, a strong evil spirit is felt from the left side.
My gaze, which had been following the movement, met the bastard’s two eyes.
‘Considering the range… … it seems difficult to deal damage.’
It was a movement that easily surpassed the speed of an average sword master.
Above all, the power felt from that pitch-black sword is… … .
‘The spirits of those who died in the castle are gathering together.’
It was as if it was forming a magnetic field, sucking in the souls around it.
In this place filled with the spirits of the dead, it would be hard to find anything sharper than that sword made of black magic.
Of course, if we allow the attack, we will have to endure a great deal of bleeding.
Clank-
I lifted Elvern and tried to parry the guy’s attack.
“… … .”
But the wrist stopped as it went up. I deliberately raised my other arm and clashed it with the sword of the guy who was approaching me.
Chaengkang!
Kkakakakak!
The armor on the left arm soon produces a strange noise as a pitch-black sword passes by.
I managed to push him away by quickly turning diagonally.
“Kuuuuu!”
However, the condition of the guard that the sword’s path had touched was strange.
The metal, which had once been a brilliant silver, had turned black as if it had rotted, and an ominous aura was slowly rising along the grain where the sun had passed.
“… … I see. It’s corrosion.”
I twisted the corners of my mouth at the sight.
A sword that can corrode matter just by touching it.
The sight of the guy swinging that thing with his bare hands was truly worthy of the name devil.
In other words, it was proof that the magical power of the negative dimension that the bastard was receiving in his body was that great.
“I don’t know, but it’s a great sword.”
“Why are you like that? Are you embarrassed?”
The bastard grinned and showed his satisfaction even though his attack missed the mark.
It was because he too had just felt the power of the attack.
Of course, I’m sure you were more satisfied with my actions than that.
“But why didn’t you move your right arm? Given the situation just now, it would have been normal to swing your sword.”
“… … .”
“Kuuuuu, why? Are you feeling like your body is getting dull?”
Ss …
Meanwhile, the bastard’s sword was gradually taking on a new shape.
If its previous appearance had seemed to be holding a translucent fog, it was now completely compressed and looked like a proper sword.
But there was one thing the guy didn’t know.
“You say your body has become dull? Me?”
“Don’t change the subject. Otherwise, I would have put my right arm aside and brought my left arm… … .”

“You’re talking nonsense.”
Bam!
I still clutched the armor on my left arm, which still had an ominous aura.
And then.
“Because I cannot carelessly tarnish the sincerity that my subjects first offered.”
Kwajik!
“… … !”
He tore it up like a piece of paper and threw it on the floor.
“… … What, what did you say?”
The emperor’s eyebrows twitched in bewilderment when he saw this.
The black magic fraud that is now noticeably shaking.
That can’t be helped.
“Yes, you… … What did you just… … .”
Because I witnessed with my own eyes actions that were impossible when the entire body and aura were paralyzed by poison.
“It’s definitely the poison’s influence… … Ah, no, even if he’s a Sword Master, there’s no way he’d have that much strength left… … .”
Could a human tear through armor using only brute force?
Of course, it wouldn’t be impossible. Not all armors have the same hardness.
But no matter how I looked at it, it was clearly metal armor. Clearly the best quality.
“It’s the effect of poison.”
And I chuckled and repeated what he said.
“Of course there would be no strength left. It would have been funny if the surprise attack, which was thoroughly designed to target superhumans, had been so sloppy.”
“… … .”
“But that would only be a story about being ‘poisoned’.”
“……what?”
Phew!
At that moment, the right arm covered in armor flashed and pushed away all the black magic poison that was rampant in the battlefield.
At the same time, a wind blew strong enough to flap the hems of one’s clothes. The pure element of wind that cleanses pollution.
Only then did he understand the situation.
“Wind?! No way… … From the beginning… … .”
“Yeah. It wasn’t poisoned or anything.”
Before I knew it, a bitter sneer had formed at the corner of my mouth.
“There is nothing more foolish than being poisoned by the same poison again.”
“Th, what is that… … It’s already happened… … .”
“If you thought your weapon would work again, you were very mistaken.”
───Because this poison was the trap that drove me to death back then!
Pot-!
“… … !”
For a moment, my vision became blurry and the world turned upside down.
When he finally appears, the back of the guy who lost track of his trajectory is revealed.
Swish!
Kwakwakwakwang!
“Cough!”
Elveren’s aura swung around in an instant.
The movements that contained the pure magic of the wind were so powerful that even those enhanced by black magic could not read them.
“Why on earth! Why didn’t my attack work!”
The attack just now has largely destroyed the black magic power that had surrounded its exterior.
Thanks to that, he wasn’t fatally wounded, but the fact that he had allowed the blow to hit him sent his mind into a frenzy.
“Why is it that you alone dare not be swayed by my will!”
Kwakwakwakwang!
The sword he holds swings around as if it’s exploding, splitting into many branches.
Soon, they began to fly in one direction as if they were targeting the living.
But they didn’t even brush past my clothes and just hovered in the air.
“What?!”
Swish!
And then it appears behind him again.
This attack pierced through the evil aura and struck the creature’s flesh.
“Kuaaaah!”
“Do you have no ability to learn? I told you that your attacks would not work on me.”
Knock knock! Knock knock!
The wound on his back began to squirm like a worm.
The power of black magic quickly sealed the wound and regenerated the body!
“How dare you! How dare you, me!”
Of course, the more that happened, the less energy flowed out. But the guy didn’t care.
If you hit it with just one blow, its body will be corroded by the power of the vengeful spirits.
But it was at that moment that the bastard raised his head, leading his healed body.
──!
Sssssss!
“What, what is this! What is this all of a sudden… …!”
The shape of the sword he was holding in his hand began to shake. As if that wasn’t enough, it slowly disappeared into the air as if it was disappearing.
And where did the gathered spirits head?
Ss …
“Hoo.”
It was an aura that covered Elveren, of all places.
I expressed rare surprise at that interesting sight.
“Have you been able to regain ownership of your lost self by taking advantage of the weakening of the black magic power?”
“Yes, how come you have that power!”
“Well, I don’t know the details.”
A blood-red aura that sways as if burning.
It was something I really didn’t know.
Maybe it was because of the magic power I had absorbed in the past, or maybe it was the will of the vengeful spirits to take revenge on the one who had made them like this.
But one thing is certain.
The fact is that these spirits are lending me the last of their strength, which they gained by burning themselves.
“… … Well, that’s just the right timing.”
I muttered as I put Elvern back into its scabbard.
Then he twisted his body strongly to the side and grabbed the scabbard with his left hand.
“There was something I really wanted to show you.”
“Hey, stop… … .”
Since the bastard’s scheme finally left me lying on the cold floor.
Also, since I’ve been dreaming of this moment in an unexpected regression.
I was finally able to reflect on myself and realize my past mistakes.
Sling-
“And this is my determination not to repeat the mistakes of that time.”
────!!
Elvern, pulled out of his scabbard, splits the world in half.
Even the elements that made up all things collapsed and tilted in half with a long silence.
And the aftershock that came sweeps through the darkened palace as if purifying it.
Gooooo-
The sunset sun shone down on the walls of the palace, which had been destroyed and no trace of its form remained.
“This is the power of the once foolish Sword King.”
* * *
“Ugh… … Ugh… … .”
dump-!
The Emperor’s body, having lost all of its magic, was no longer human.
A body that is visibly drying up with each passing moment. Skin that cracks and falls off like tree bark.
And above all, the body was completely empty.
It was such a shock that I should have died a thousand times over if it weren’t for the last bit of life force holding onto that form.
Clank-
“Oh, don’t come… … !”
The sound of armor rubbing against each other. The approaching god of death, trampling on fragments of flesh and black blood.
After retrieving Elvern, I approached the creature, and its body began to tremble violently as if it was in a fight.
“It’s the end.”
“Huhhh!”
But I didn’t care and continued walking.
The end of a long fight. The time to conclude it had come.
Clank-
“What are your final words?”
“Yes… … you… … !”
Those empty eyes stare at me as if they are trying to trap me.
Now, the eyes have returned to their original state, with not even a single bit of magic left.
But what was most disturbing to the bastard was the identity of the force that had driven him to this point.
“Why… … Why are you the only one granted such power? Time must have been limited… … I am no different from you, so why… … .”
“Is there really a need for an explanation in this situation?”
“… … .”
Clank- clank-
“But I will tell you.”
Rather, it was as if he was enjoying himself, and his steps were very brisk.
But the two eyes looking at him weren’t smiling at all.
“Because you made your men swallow poison, I had to kill my own soldiers with my own hands.”
“Th, what is that… … .”
“And then I had to die at their hands.”
I can’t forget the feeling I had at that time.
Blurred vision. Feelings fading from all over your body.
And what was even more disgusting was the man himself who cut down the soldiers even though he knew that he could not escape.
It was the bitter smile of those who faced each other on the border between life and death.
“I haven’t laughed once since my father died.”
“… … .”
“Their happy laughter gave me new aspirations.”
If only I could stand on the earth with this life once more, I would definitely cut off the heads of those who looked down on me.
If I were given another chance.
I will definitely recover what I have lost and win in glory.
Clank-
“That is what finally put me on this earth when I had lost everything.”
“… … .”
“I appreciate you.”
I climb the stairs where his body has collapsed, and face his pale face head-on amidst countless questions.
Now, it’s not him looking down at me, but me looking down at him.
“… … No way. Your true identity is.”
“If it weren’t for what happened that day, I would still be just a puppet king.”
Leiden del Carrot.
And that was my last goodbye to him.
“You are the last one.”
Crunch-
The emperor’s head flew into the sky.
A fountain of blood gushed out from the body of the masterless man, dyeing Daejeon red.
