The Returned Sword King Decided to Become a Tyrant Episode 35
Lotus Blooming in Regret (5)
Nature is wonderful and grand, but on the other hand, it also shows itself as cruel and violent.
Survival of the fittest.
In the face of that absolute logic, humans were nothing more than a component of nature.
As if to prove this, all the knights could do was resist the predator that moved like stepping on an ant.
“be careful!”
Swoosh- Swoosh!!
A fist the size of a human hand passed over the knight’s head.
And the trees swept by that arm broke here and there and flew into the sky.
The knight bit his lips without even realizing that he was bleeding as he watched the scene slowly play out like a revolving lantern while rolling endlessly on the floor.
Kuwaaa!
“… … Huh!”
The knight, who had barely managed to avoid the twin-headed ogre’s attack, quickly got into position.
Even if you were to surround yourself with an aura, you wouldn’t be able to break a bone if you were hit by that attack.
‘Why did I have to meet this guy… …!’
The forest facing the mountain range could already be described as chaotic.
The trees that had grown thickly had fallen to the ground without a trace, and the ground had collapsed here and there, impeding the knights’ movements.
Truly devilish strength.
But his spirit never succumbed to fear.
“Okay… just a little more!”
“Attack his legs!”
The knights’ movements seemed to be in a hurry to avoid the bastard’s attacks, but upon closer inspection, they were moving at regular intervals.
When one of them was attacked and his stance collapsed, the others would instead dig inside him, and once their position was secured, they would once again get out of his attack range.
As if I was barely catching the guy’s attention…
And the one leading this was Vice-Captain Roder.
“You shouldn’t confront him head-on! Just focus on breaking his posture!”
Ugh- Ugh-
Roder swung his sword ahead of everyone else, encouraging the courage of his men.
Sometimes with quick movements, as if filling an empty defense.
Sometimes with aggressive movements as if to steal the guy’s attention.
In a fight that had already lasted nearly twenty minutes, he had no time to feel the cold sweat running down his sideburns.
‘And yet you still don’t show any sign of fatigue… …!’
Roder stuck out his tongue as he glared at the twin-headed ogre that was repeatedly attacking him.
What would have happened if a frontal attack had been ordered based on misjudgment?
It was so scary just imagining it.
The good news is that no one has been seriously injured so far.
As time passed, bruises began to appear on the boy’s body.
Even the Twin Head Ogre, which has been imbued with the energy of the mountain range, cannot completely ignore the cutting power of the Aura.
‘……but.’
However, the ones who were truly getting tired were the knights who were making desperate moves.
‘If things continue like this, the knights will only be put in danger.
If only I could slow down the guy’s movements just a little bit more.
If only there was some way to turn this situation around… …!
At that moment, the face of the first prince suddenly appeared in Roder’s mind as he searched for a solution.
“… … !”
And then his gaze turned hurriedly to the knight standing nearby.
“Things… …! There must have been something His Majesty had asked me to pack!”
“yes?”
“Where is that thing, where is that thing stored now?”
“……ah!”
The knight, although bewildered by the urgent voice, quickly gestured in the direction of the luggage.
“Red bag! It’s in the red bag that Terry had!”
“Thank you!”
Roder quickly moved to the rear and reached where the luggage bags were placed.
Then, without even having time to open the bag, he tore it open with his sword and picked up something black and square that was inside.
“……also!”
What the prince had given was something that Roder was also familiar with.
He also saw the scene being used with his own eyes… … .
Loder, who had carefully put the item in his bosom so that he wouldn’t lose it, stepped into the battlefield again.
“Listen, knights!”
A shout that shakes the battlefield.
“Disband the encirclement and lure him to the wall! Make him stick as close as possible!”
It means to be bait.
Even while facing off against a guy who wields such tremendous power.
But the knights.
“insect!”
Without a moment’s hesitation, I moved my position directly in front of the guy.

It was an action that came from strong trust.
“Huh!”
“This way!”
Cliffs several tens of meters high.
And below that, the knights who precariously control the bastard’s movements.
As he watched the situation so eagerly, Roder’s heart began to burn black.
“… … Just a little more.”
The cliff the knights are standing on is getting closer and closer.
Now there won’t be any space to avoid his attacks.
More and more.
Deeper.
At that moment, in a time where each second felt like a year, Roder’s eyes lit up.
“… … !”
Because it was a situation I had been waiting for more than anything else.
It was a moment that could have been the last chance in the midst of a rapidly changing battlefield.
Roder quickly waved his arms and gave instructions.
“Now! Retreat immediately!”
“insect!”
Ta-da-!
The signal to retreat finally falls.
As if in response, the knights instantly kicked off the cliff and leaped in a long leap.
It was a quick movement, using up all the remaining aura.
Kuwaaa!
The Twin Headed Ogre stood frozen in place, his behavior different from before.
No. To be exact, it was because I realized that I had been lured to a suspicious place.
And above it all, Roder’s calm cry rang out.
“Get down!”
Kwakwakwakwang!
A vibration that shook the heavens and the earth moved the forest.
A bright flash of light that can momentarily blind you and a noise that causes tinnitus.
The knights who were lying face down shuddered and trembled at the powerful explosion, as if they were receiving the destructive power of great magic head-on.
“That’s… … .”
A mining bomb created by dwarves.
There, the first prince gave him an artifact, which he threw off a cliff and caused it to collapse.
But this was just a fleeting thought, and I never thought it would have such a definite effect… … !
Roder looked up, dumbfounded at the rising cloud of dust that was blocking his view.
“Wow, that’s amazing. Is this the dwarf technique? Surely Your Majesty would be able to handle even this situation… … .”
“Vice-captain! Are you okay?!”
“Hmm? Oh, I’m fine. How many people are injured?”
“Fortunately, thanks to the quick instructions from the deputy commander, no one was caught in the explosion.”
“I see.”
Roder’s gaze scanned the surroundings.
The forest was turned into a mess with dust and debris flying in all directions.
Twin Head Ogre is… … .
“… … Dead.”
The twin-headed ogre’s ferocious presence was no longer felt.
Well, it would have been natural for me to have been swept away by that kind of explosion and rubble.
Only then was Roder able to wipe away the tension from his palms.
“… … I’m so glad.”
It was a battle that had to rely solely on the knights’ abilities.
If it had been like that, it would have definitely lost several knights. Even so, it was a monster that was difficult to guarantee victory.
‘It ended up working out well, but… … .’
… … But what on earth is this uneasiness that remains in one corner of my heart?
Why does this ominous feeling still not go away?
“… … .”
Roder gave instructions, clenching and unclenching his cold hands as if nothing had happened.
“This level of explosion would have stimulated even monsters that were far away. Get out of here as quickly as possible.”
“All right.”
The knights were delighted at the thought of finally being able to return to their temporary shelter.
It was clear that everyone was feeling tired, both physically and mentally.
The moment I took a step to avoid the collapsed cliff.
Ouch-!
A shiver runs down my spine.
A strong sense of discomfort.
So I turned my head to check.
Wow! Wow!
A huge black fist instantly obscured Roder’s vision as the pile of rocks exploded with a loud roar.
“this!”
At that moment, a swift blow was about to strike him, leaving him unable to even react.
“Vice-captain!”
Kwaaaaaaaah!
Suddenly, his world turned around with a dull jolt from beside him.
And then there’s this faint noise coming from far away.
“Oh my, Vice-Captain!”
“Damn it, Lord Bennet!”
Roder quickly came to his senses at the ensuing commotion and looked around.
The knights come running again with their swords drawn.
In that corner, the monster with its back to the broken rock and nearby… … .
“… … !”
The sight of a subordinate knight lying on the ground, bleeding.
The back of the armor was twisted like a sheet of paper.
Roder could see how things had turned out just from that sight.
But there was no time to just sit there blankly. I had to get moving right away.
Krrrrrr-
A low, heart-sinking breath.
The Twin Head Ogre slowly got up and turned around, despite being covered in blood all over its body and having a large piece of rock embedded in its stomach.
Roderick quickly gave instructions.
“All take up your swords and protect Lord Bennet.”
At that moment, the guy ran towards me.
Blood-red eyes approaching through the defense line, covered in black haze all over the body.
‘Hurry up!’
I barely managed to raise my aura and confront the guy who was attacking me.
“Huh!”
The moment you receive a blow, your upper body is pushed away in an instant.
And that wasn’t the end of it. Such attacks continued one after another without giving me a chance to come to my senses.
“This kid!”
“Help the vice-captain!”
The other members who were shocked by the sight rushed in, but it was no use.
Kwaaaa …
“Ugh!”
They were swept away in an instant by the bastard’s scattered arms before they could even approach him.
A series of attacks carried out as if they had been waiting for it.
Roder bit his lip as he watched the sight.
‘Damn it, just to break the formation on purpose… …!’
and.
The guy didn’t miss that small gap in time when I glanced at him.
‘Oh my!’
Kwaaang!
The sword bounces far away.
At the same time, the bastard’s raised fist swung above his head.
“… … !”
For a moment, time seemed to have stopped and the surrounding scenery became distorted and dark.
The expressions of the knights in a state of urgency. Drops of blood spraying from their hands.
The movement to meet the guy’s fist was the same.
But even in that slowly flowing time, my head was fitting the situation together.
At first, it came without any warning and stomped my foot.
The sight of him fighting for dozens of minutes without even showing any signs of fatigue.
And now the black aura that surrounds the guy’s entire body!
I couldn’t believe it, but I had to admit, the guy had the ability to manifest the energy within his body like a knight.
I thought I lured the guy and took him down, but he was literally playing with me.
It would not be an illusion to think that the red eyes of the guy, revealed through the clouds that made it impossible to see even an inch ahead, were somehow smiling.
“… …f*ck.”
You have no choice but to be prepared for death.
The moment he thought that, the fist the guy swung landed on Roder’s head.
… … No, I definitely tried to reach it.
It would have been the same even if the ogre’s arm hadn’t stopped so precariously.
It was a future I could be sure of because I was watching the scene from beginning to end.
But the guy just stood there frozen in place.
That was it.
“What… is… happening…?”
That’s why Roder, who was watching time that seemed to have stopped, couldn’t understand the situation.
How on earth is it still alive? And why did it stop attacking?
And what was even more disconcerting was that the Twin Headed Ogre’s body was falling diagonally.
It was as if someone had cut it with a knife… … .
You cut it out?
“Twin-headed ogre.”
Suddenly, Roder’s gaze reflexively turned towards it.
And then I was able to discover something.
A man jumped down, trampling over the corpse of an ogre that was collapsing between the setting sun.
“Was it right to follow the trend?”
The sword in the man’s hand slowly disappeared into its scabbard.
At that moment, the body finally fell to the ground, and I was able to meet the man’s gaze once again through the thick cloud of dust.
“You’re struggling with something like this.”
“majesty…….”
“The name of the Royal Knights will cry.”
A voice that sounds arrogant, but never like one.
“I guess I need to train him.”
* * *
“That, that!”
The dwarves who ran out from their work were shocked.
That would be the case. The corpse several meters in size lying in the temporary shelter of the Sun Knights was something they had never seen before.
Surtr, who was the first to run to the sudden commotion, muttered while caressing the corpse.
“… … It’s definitely a twin-headed ogre.”
The king of the mountains and the embodiment of the devil.
Although it was torn in places by the aura and scorched by the explosion, it was clearly the corpse of a twin-headed ogre.
An individual that has become more ferocious and strong due to the influence of the mountain range.
Judging by the evil spirit left on the corpse, it must have been of a high quality that would make any blacksmith drool.
“How on earth do you do something like this… … ”
But the first prince just threw the body away without a care and said.
-Use it as you wish.
Use it however you like?
For someone who has experienced things one after another that he has never seen before even after living for hundreds of years, he cannot know how many more surprises he will have to face in the future.
But there was not even the slightest hint of hesitation in the way he threw it away as if it was nothing.
Rather, he even focused on the next task while leading and gathering the knights.
‘Can I really use it however I want…?’
While I was thinking like that, the clan members who had come near began to surround the corpse and make a fuss.
“Oh my goodness!”
“Hey, boss! This molar… …!”
“With leather this tough, you could really make top-notch weapons!”
“Yeah, I guess so.”
Surtr was perplexed by the approaching clan’s equation, but he quickly began to think.
‘If we process this corpse well… … .’
Although work has suddenly piled up, dwarves are a race that cannot survive without holding a hammer.
Rather, this kind of thing was even more welcome.
