Chapter 106
cold winter (1)
thump!
Evelyn wrapped her left arm with her right hand in a phantom pain after a long time.
My left arm was very sore.
After wearing an iron prosthetic hand.
Evelynn no longer suffers from phantom pain.
And I didn’t even suffer from nightmares.
-It’s you. A child who had the surname of Nereville.
The stench of Wolfgang, which made me sick, didn’t even come to mind.
-Even though she was born with low blood, her beauty is certain, perhaps because she resembles the child at that time. good. You are my chess piece from now on. As your mother did, you will have to live for me.
But now,
-That would be the way to repay the favor to me, who gave you the fortune to be born with even a little bit of noble blood in this world.
The nightmare of that time reared its head again.
twenty years ago.
The child who entered Ragnar just because he wanted to see his father’s face turned his back on his father’s ugly side.
Then, taking his mother’s name as his last name, he wielded a sword.
With only one promise to one day take revenge on his mother and his father who abandoned him.
However, even if he becomes a member of the Baekgap Yonggi Corps and a senior prosecutor, he is still far away.
Evelyn couldn’t stand that fact.
Julius and Theodo. Didn’t everyone, including Cecilia and Kirsson, step out like that for themselves?
So, I couldn’t keep going like this.
‘I.’
Cheolguk!
The fist of the iron prosthetic arm was filled with power.
‘I have to overcome it somehow.’
Evelyn raised her head with a determination.

Theo’s level was already over 30, and he was steadily building up several other stats while achieving a steep growth curve.
In particular, it was [Intelligence] that achieved remarkable growth.
Coefficient 75.
Before I knew it, I was on the verge of reaching 100.
All of the additional stats he had gained so far were put into [Intelligence].
The reason was simple.
+
[Intellect]
Thinking and judgment skills deepen. Increases understanding of skills.
+
Recently, Theo found out a few additional functions while fumbling around with the status window in the process of digesting the sword beads.
One of them was how to use each stat.
Just as [Muscular strength] strengthens the muscularity of the body and [Agility] has an effect on increasing the reaction speed of the nervous system,
[Intelligence] is a great help for skill activation, so it was perfect for the next target.
Thanks to,
Theo was able to pull off another massive rise in power in just a few days.
[Activate ‘Skill: Hatchling Synchro’ to strengthen the evil thoughts latent in the sword orb.]
In Theo’s field of vision, countless traces of swords were being drawn.
Paaa-
– Grab your sword.
-Swing your sword.
-knife.
-knife.
-Give me the sword.
– Swing me.
The headache was severe from the countless unrefined thoughts screaming here and there, but Theo held back and concentrated on activating the skill.
The beads of the sword that Kyle handed over did not know the true identity of the original owner, but they were tightly packed with obsession and madness for the sword.
Thanks to this, his understanding of swordsmanship was very high, and Theo was able to melt the various swordsmanships he had absorbed in fragments little by little into one.
The traces drawn in front of his eyes were the proof.
Just by swinging it as it is, you can unleash the ＜Dragon’s Claw＞, which boasts more explosive power.
And in the process, Theo was able to gain so many pieces of enlightenment.
‘This is the reason my father asked me to use this bead as my footing.’
I heard that Kyle only bestows swords suitable for each of the candidates he approves.
To Theo, who had learned swordsmanship from many people in the meantime, it was like becoming the most outstanding instructor.
‘Who is the original owner of this sword? No matter how much I learned the basic swordsmanship right away, it wouldn’t be easy to weave them together because the characteristics of ＜Demonic Dragon Six Art＞ and ＜24 Number Plum Blossom Sword＞ were so clear.’
Just by tying the swordsmanship of the 9 dragons, it was possible to know how great the original owner had during his lifetime.
But no one immediately came to mind.
It was because there were so many masters that Kyle had defeated in order to rise to power.
Because of this, he postponed those worries, and now focused only on the sword he was holding.
‘The day will come when I will know.’
thump thump thump… … !
[‘Skill: Fairy Buff’ is activated and a strong blessing is applied.]
[Due to ‘Strong Blessing’, the hidden effects of the skill appear.]
[Vitality is granted.]
[The body’s visual acuity is strengthened.]
[Reaction speed increases.]
[The recovery speed of physical strength and magic power increases.]
And the application of other skills that follow.
[‘Skill: Worm Eater’ is applied, increasing attack power in inverse proportion to the opponent’s HP.]
[‘Skill: Lesser Drake Fear’ is cast and the dragon slash breaks the opponent’s will.]
[The efficiency of all skills increases according to the effect of improved intelligence!]
From sword beads to skill buffs.
Adding Ragnar’s blessed body to this, Theo had no choice but to show off his superior skills compared to his already advanced level.
gurrr
“aaagh! I will kill you!”
Beta’s face was red with anger.
It was not enough to be pushed back by one swordsman in real life, and the fact that I was overwhelmed with spirit in an instant was so embarrassing.
At this rate, he would not be able to return to the Senate because he was embarrassed.
There shouldn’t have been as much misfortune as that.
So, somehow, I rushed at it while screaming, but
Wow!
Theo’s forceful, oblique strike sprayed thunderbolts, and it wasn’t enough to break Beta’s sword as it was, and it swept his upper body roughly.
After a huge heat storm swept through.
“Ouch… … Kuk… … !”
Beta showed deep wounds, as if a dragon had been roughly slashed down with her claws, and then collapsed.
dump!
“… … !”
“… … !”
“… … !”
A single member of staff defeated the Senate’s swordsman.
The scene was so shocking that the crowd was speechless with their mouths wide open.
Theoman casually lowered his knife and threw a word.
“next.”
How arrogant he was, Wolfgang and the elders all had to shake their fists in shame.
On the other hand, the crowd erupted in explosive cheers.
– Look, did you see?
-I really thought we would win… … !
– They say it’s a yaksha that spreads thunderbolts. Rather, rumors are lacking. That’s a monster, a monster!
-Sumya tea!
-Sumya Tea!!
Niel, who was watching the situation as a mediator, asked.
“Do you mean you will also participate in the second sparring?”
“Yes. I am not very tired.”
Niel laughed at Theo’s remark.
You say the same thing as Kyle in his youth.
I thought so.
Of course, Wolfgang was just full of spirits.
‘The atmosphere… … Everything is flowing to him.’
Ragnar traditionally favors the strong.
And I welcome the confident attitude of the strong.
Theo did just that.
arrogance and confidence.
It was just a paper difference.
To the crowd he seemed confident, and to the Senate he seemed arrogant.
Knock!
How many times have you gone through it today alone? It was as if the molar had been broken.
“Page.”
“Yes… … Yes?”
“You’ll have to step in next time.”
“I-Am I talking?”
The elder who was called was startled and asked back, but
“Are there any other people named Paige besides you?”
I swallowed my saliva at the stinging glares of Wolfgang and the other elders.
-Sumya tea!
-Sumya tea!
Even now the crowd was chanting for Theo.
What would happen if you went out as the second practitioner in such an atmosphere?
Seung-gi, although the Senate could bring it.
He will never be able to find again the position he has built as an elder.
But Wolfgang made a chin gesture as if telling him to go,
The other elders also ignored Paige’s gaze asking for help.
They didn’t want to be taken instead.
“egg… … I will. I will somehow restore the lost honor of the Senate and return.”
In the end, Paige was forced to rise with heavy steps.
“Be careful. We have to beat that guy overwhelmingly. No, I’ll kill you right now. So that I will never be able to stand tall again.”
At the end, the whole tone that dug into her ear made Paige’s back damp.
Earlier, they told me to just cut off my right arm, but now they tell me to kill them openly.
The difference between the two was too great.
It’s a matter that could be taken by Julius or the Maehwa Palace.
I should do it anyway
If he didn’t listen to Wolfgang, his family could be harmed later.
In the end, Paige, who stood in the arena, put her hand on the sword with a strong heart.
– Woo-woo-woo!
-How did the elder come forward as a real combat swordsman!
– Do the senate have no pride!
Boos poured out from all over the place, but Paige didn’t care at all, pretending not to hear.
No, on the contrary, the more I did, the more my commitment grew.
‘When the sparring starts, it cuts in just one second.’
If Theo managed to block the attack while using his hands halfway, this side’s goal could have been discovered.
Then, not only would the Senate receive criticism, but Julius and the Plum Palace could even intervene.
“Paige Grasson of the Senate. During his active career, he earned the nickname ‘Shin Myo Sword’. As an adult in the family, I will break that arrogant attitude.”
“Please take good care of me.”
-Even then, you are the elder of Ragnar!
-Just shut up in the back room!
Theo nodded indifferently and lightly clashed his sword with Paige.
A signal to announce the start of the battle.
At that moment, Paige swung her sword at once to cut Theo’s throat.
The moment a blow full of sword energy was about to flash,
“surrender.”
Suddenly, as if Theo knew everything, he hurriedly stepped back and raised his hands.
Paige’s face was stained with embarrassment.
“… … what?”
“It is surrender. The second Dalian is a defeat on our side. How can a young junior like me compete with a senior with a sword? Still, you won at least one win, so you must be very happy, right?”
Theo sneered at Paige, who was still looking at her with a bewildered face, then turned around and left the arena.
-Muh, what is it?
The crowd also flinched at the sudden situation.
-Sudden surrender?
-Seeing you laugh, I think you were aiming for it? Ha ha ha!
-ah… … ! i get it. In the end anyway, the Demon Dragon and Wonryong will appear respectively, right?
-You’ve won the first match anyway, so the second fight doesn’t matter.
-Kyahahahaha! what then? Didn’t the Senate just come out to catch a young swordsman for no reason and end up being teased?
– Only the Senate looks like a dog chasing chickens, well. Pooh!
“Profit!”
Paige’s face instantly turned red with anger.
It was only then that he realized that he had been played by Theo’s clutches.
Defeated in the first Dalian, his reputation was lost, and in the second Dalian, he fell into the shithole without gaining anything.
And,
In the Baekgap Dragon Base, he could see Julius preparing to stand up as the third couple.
Paige hurriedly turned to the Senate.
Wolfgang trembled with anger and jumped up from his seat.
A powerful life force was already raging in him.
“these guys… … ! good. If you guys come out like this, I have no choice but to do the same… … !”
thump thump!
Wolfgang stepped forward with strong steps.
* * *
-I will make the Senate an asshole in front of many people.
Julius smiled as he recalled Theo’s comment that Theo had added that he would step up on both previous occasions.
That’s what the word meant.
Because of this, the entire Senate ended up being harassed by Theo.
This was to be talked about for a long time to come.
Theo’s reputation will rise that much.
In the meantime, the evaluation of the Baek Gap Yonggidae, which has been suppressed by the Senate without knowing it, will also be placed above the Senate.
‘Anyway, it’s a dungeon.’
It was the reason he cared for Theo fiercely.
“Then the final finish is me.”
If the Senator’s remaining arm is also broken here, the Senate won’t even have the honor left for the time being.
Just then, I saw Wolfgang stride out with a look of great anger.
Julius was about to step forward with a smile as well,
“… … Evelyn?”
Suddenly, Evelyn stretched out her prosthetic arm and blocked Julius’ path.
With eyes that were firmly determined to do something.
Evelyn said with deep sunken eyes.
“Third Dalian, let me go.”
“… … !”
Julius’ eyes widened.
* * *
since when
Julius always used to think.
Evelyn is like a cocoon.
A silkworm cocoon that can flutter beautifully and ascend into the sky when shed, but is not yet ready.
that child,
butterfly,
Now it was flapping its wings to get out of its cocoon.
At that moment, Julius was able to realize.
Even her own feelings for this child who had been stepped on in her eyes at some point.
‘yes. I always see this child like this… … !’
