Sword Pilgrim

Episode 222

The sky was red.

The scenery became dark and the red sunset was hiding over the mountains.

The reddened sky and thick shadows seeped through the holes in the ruined mansion, illuminating the inside.

puck.

A shudder was felt in the worn-out wooden box along with the dropped knight’s head.

Looking at the trembling wooden box, Lutheon sat down on a pile of stones nearby.

I wiped my bloodstained hands and spear with water from the water bag to wash them away.

“Fate is such a strange thing. My strict father always treated the eldest son favorably and ignored my talent.”

It wasn’t until after I even washed my face that I said, “Whew.” I breathed in and felt refreshed.

“Your brother resembles your father. Both of them were so stubborn that I couldn’t understand them.”

It’s really sad that people can’t communicate with each other.

Because common sense and obvious things to oneself become impossible to the other person.

“When I see people who don’t understand me, it’s frustrating at first. And then you get angry No matter how much I explain, I don’t understand.”

But still waited.

I waited for you to find out someday.

“But that day never came.”

And rather than waiting, I won.

The Empire has a saying.

Traditionally, a hero in a turbulent world is someone who can do what he or she needs to do.

“That was it for me.”

It is better to win than to wait.

Murder was easier than death.

It suited him better. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

To prove oneself and silence their infidelity with death.

It was easy for him.

Lutheon’s gaze fell to the ground.

“Did you say Roshit?”

Lutheon grinned as he looked at his head, which had cooled down and closed his eyes.

“Do you know what this guy said when he saw me? He dared to look at me and call me a murderer. It was very fresh. Knights are beings trained to be good at killing. We protect it with words, but in the end, we are just killers who train to kill people and put on the cover of honor. He seemed quite loyal, but he was a bad-headed knight.”

But a guy like that too.

“You got one thing right.”

Seruk. Rutheon stood up and walked to the box that was shivering.

Then he crouched down and slowly lifted the wooden box. Inside was a trembling blonde child.

When I met eyes with a child who slowly lifted his head while trembling like an aspen tree.

Rutheon said.

“They called me immoral.”

A bastard who killed his brother and father.

Lauren’s face was frightened and tears flowed down her face. At the same time, he tried to stab Luteon with the sword in his hand.

But he wasn’t lax enough to be stabbed by a frightened child’s sword.

Took.

Holding the blade in his hand, Lutheon spoke softly as he saw his crying nephew.

“Do you know what your father said to me last?”

“…”

“You only asked for help. My brother realized right away. That was after I killed my father.”

Luteon was reflected in Lauren’s eyes.

He turned his back against the reddish light of the twilight, and the darkness was thick.

Blonde hair and blue eyes resembling a golden lion.

The eyes of the same color that always felt friendly, but for some reason, they felt extremely cold and cold-blooded from Luteon.

“You’ve grown a lot. The last time I saw you was 8 years ago. You look a lot like your brother I was like that when I was younger, but now that I look at it more…”

The resemblance is annoying to the point of irritation.

The eyes looking at them are terrifyingly similar. Lutheon grabbed Lauren’s chin and lifted it up.

“What do I see in your eyes?”

A traitor who betrayed his country?

You bastard who killed your flesh and blood? Or is it a different monster?

When I smiled intriguedly as if I was curious, Lauren said with tears in her eyes.

“Now, uncle.”

Lutheon’s expression, which had been smiling, hardened. It seems like an unexpected answer.

It was a puzzled face.

“Daddy, why are you doing this? I didn’t do anything wrong…”

Luteon’s spear trembled when he saw Lauren trembling like a newborn animal.

“You’re not as stubborn as your older brother. He has an evil side.”

Lutheon’s expression calmed down.

He seemed to be thinking hard.

It’s like he’s contemplating whether to kill Lauren or not.

“Lauren.”

“…yes.”

“I need a window. To put it simply, you need more power. The fact that I harmed my older brother and father with my own hands was also a conflict of views and values. It was unavoidable. Besides, I am the spear of the Empire. In a way, it was natural.”

Took. Took.

Rutheon, who tapped his temple with his index finger, grinned at Lauren.

“Since you called me uncle rather than a knight of the empire, I will treat you as a nephew and ask. If you answer honestly, I won’t hurt you.”

Lauren nodded.

“Who has Luidren’s heirloom?”

The founder of the Ruidren family.

A sword made of it.

If Zervan has the storm sword-Callis, Luidren has the lightsaber-Lost.

A sword that emits light. roast.

“Neither my older brother nor my father had it.”

Even when the family was in danger of being destroyed, Luidren hid the sword until the end.

-Do not hold the family sword on the battlefield. The sword is our root.

“To rot such a great treasured sword in order to protect a stupid family motto. No matter how much I think about it, I don’t understand.”

Swords are their ancestors.

Let it rest, and because of the naive family motto that the sword should be a symbol and not a sword to be wielded, Luidren never takes that sword to the battlefield.

no matter what the case may be.

“Even if you have treasure, you don’t use it, so that’s what happens after all.”

However, the legend of the lightsaber is so great that it is passed down to future generations.

Lutheon wanted that sword.

“Lauren’s uncle needs that sword. Do you know where it is?”

“I’m fine… kuck!”

Fuck!

Lutheon, who had kicked Lauren on the stomach, grabbed Lauren by the collar as she sighed against the wall.

“You will know. yes?”

“I don’t know! Don’t you know that only the head of the household knows the location!”

“Know. i know and you know But why is Ruidren such a complacent family? My brother must have prepared just in case. I have arranged it as the last bastion, and that will be you, the eldest son of the family and now the head of Luidren.”

Speech that sounds like you’re sure.

Lauren swallowed dryly.

“Lauren. You will have to speak well. The affection as a blood relative ends here. Think carefully. If you keep your mouth shut, I will eventually give up the lightsaber.”

What if that happens?

“To me, giving up the treasured sword also means that there is no point in prolonging your life. If you can’t get a lightsaber, wouldn’t it be worthwhile to make a sword yourself?”

Lauren’s pupil swaying aimlessly.

A moving cry and an expression that cannot be hidden.

Rutheon was convinced.

Lauren must know where Luidren’s treasured sword is. Convinced by the evidence gathered little by little, Lutheon brought his spear to the end of Lauren’s neck.

“say. Before being shamefully turned into a spear of the Empire like your father.”

“Kuk black… lightsaber…”

The moment he was just staring at the shape of Lauren’s mouth.

Suddenly, Lutheon’s brow narrowed.

“Who are you?”

Looking at the mansion with my head turned, the red sunset disappeared and only the distant night settled down before I knew it.

A strangely quiet night.

A half-collapsed mansion.

In it, Lutheon felt a strange life force toward him.

Swoop.

The moon hidden by the clouds gave off a soft light, and a man who hadn’t been there before appeared.

“It’s been a while, Lutheon.”

“You…”

A costume without even the bare minimum of greaves.

Wearing a mask around his mouth and wearing an assassin’s outfit to move secretly, he is a member of a family that Lutheon knows well.

Genos von Gradas.

“What is the assassin of the west doing here?”

“Compassionateness. I came to see my friend’s son’s face. I didn’t know you’d be a crybaby?”

“Count Genos…”

“Let go of the kid’s collar and talk to the adults, but. Luteon.”

Lutheon obediently let go of Lauren.

Then, seeing Lauren hurriedly hiding behind Genos, he laughed as if it was absurd.

“The leader of the cult’s Heresy Inquisition is going on a fisherman’s journey to this place.”

“You just said everything out of your mouth. There is no other cause more perfect than this.”

The renegade Lutheon.

If there was an organization that would catch him, where else would he be other than the Heretic Questioning?

“Ha, come now?”

“No matter how many years pass, the sins you committed will not disappear. The same goes for the execution of sins.”

As long as sin doesn’t go away, that’s always.

Enforcement must be carried out.

“…Are you alone?”

“We are not married yet. How easy is it to find a woman to spend the rest of your life with?”

Rutheon’s face frowned.

“Looks like I’m kidding.”

“Then do you think my relationship is a joke?”

“What a madman.”

Whoo-!

A spear that was suddenly fired without preparation.

A light blow came from Lutheon’s hand. However, Genos had disappeared leaving behind only an afterimage.

The new type of Genos that had permeated the darkness was already nowhere to be found and not a single sound of an ant could be heard.

“Catwalk Genos. The Gradas family’s footwork is amazing. Because there is no sound.”

In addition to that, it has the unique ability of a sword that enhances stealth, so it shows the aspect of an assassin whose location cannot be determined by hearing as well as the naked eye.

“Even so, if it goes beyond the schedule, it’s just a catch.”

The level of a master who broke down the human wall and became a transcendental master does not specify the position of the opponent by relying only on the body organs.

ears rather than eyes.

It amplifies the senses rather than the ears, and advances to accelerated battles faster than seeing and moving.

So.

hooked!

“I know where you are without a sound.”

Lutheon’s spear pierced Genos’ side.

And at the same time, the smell of burning flesh stung my nostrils.

The window got hotter and started to glow red.

“I had a great time meeting you. Sir Genos. No, the leader of the Heretic Question.”

and soon.

bang!! It exploded.

Deflagration fills the mansion.

After clearing all the smoke by swinging his spear, Lutheon looked around and clicked his tongue.

“…”

Lauren had already run away.

There was not even a single piece of Genos that should have been hung on the Explosive Spear Ames.

It was natural logic to think that both would have run away.

“Do something useless. You said you knew everything even if you couldn’t see it. come out.”

Rutheon did not flinch.

It was because he still had signs of Loren and Genos in his feeling of becoming a master.

slip.

“It doesn’t work.”

“Genos-sama!”

Clutching his side, Genos leaned against the wall with a pale complexion and sat down.

In response, Lauren gave her sword, which had fallen to the floor, and grabbed it with both hands.

Loren, who was just a boy, pointed his sword at Lutheon.

“Oh don’t come!!”

“I thought you were a bit clever, but you are no different. Just like my older brother.”

Lutheon’s eyes grew cold.

Lauren’s tears welled up.

However, the sword was not drawn.

“The other is you. Ruidren is always the same! You were always different! You monster!!”

different.

Lauren’s words are different.

It made Lutheon’s heart throb.

“I am the owner of Ruidren! you with my sword! I will kill you!!”

Luteon superimposed on someone else in the image of Lauren, who was trembling but had the courage to protect someone who was sitting behind him.

It wasn’t a very good feeling.

“…okay. Then die.”

There was no longer a blood relationship.

Lutheon’s spear was thrust into Lauren’s heart.

Lauren also closed her eyes and lowered her sword. A sword that swings back and forth following the feelings of an immature boy.

Looking at Lauren’s sword.

recalled old memories.

‘Brother….’

Lutheon also closed his eyes.

In front of him, Lauren was gone, and Luen, who resembled him, was smirking and striking the sword. Brothers who had no talent or family interests and just loved sword fighting.

They are good brothers who were trained and who enjoyed sword fighting as their play.

A sibling relationship that has grown distant due to the evaluation of adults.

But now the brother was gone.

‘Are all that’s left is a bloody spear?’

Caan-!

The sense of creativity was strange.

The spear that should have shattered the shabby sword and pierced Lauren’s body at once.

I could feel the noise and vibration at my fingertips, as if blocked by a solid rock.

When I wondered if that sword was a lightsaber.

Lutheon’s eyes found something and twisted like a thug.

Loren’s sword that blocked Lutheon’s spear.

There was a black-haired man holding the sword together behind Lauren’s back.

he is none other than

“Callius…”

he said to the boy, glaring coldly at Lutheon.

“Revenge is not something you leave to others.”

A sword held together with the boy.

Callius straightened the sword and spoke as if listening.

“boy. Take revenge with your own hands. I will lead you with the lack of strength and direction.”

“yes!”

under.

Tendons stood out on Luteon’s forehead as he laughed with an absurd expression.

“Are you going to deal with me like that?”

“Don’t underestimate Ruidren’s sword. Spear of a renegade empire.”

Lutheon’s expression softened.

“It is. The bad relationship for a long time will end here!!”

Swoop.

An exploding spear that appeared in the line of sight along with the disappearing new Lutheon. Seeing him, Callius spoke calmly.

“Down.”

Caan-!

Lutheon’s window was lightly blocked.
