chapter 7
<Episode 7>
The news of Louin’s recovery quickly spread throughout the family.
If he showed his emotions recklessly, the servants who played the sutra would not show it, but it could not but be a great shock to his blood relatives, especially Ruin’s brothers.
“Your brother is back?”
“That’s right! I’m on my way to see my eldest brother at the training ground!”
“Training ground… … ?”
“huh! I’m all healed!”
The boy who has hardened on the other side of Deasch is Dane Vern, the second son.
Unlike Ruin, he possessed genius swordsmanship and was a worthy successor to the Heibern family.
The only stumbling block is age.
No one in the family doubted that when he reached the age of fifteen, which marked the coming of age of the Bernese, he would take the place of the next Grand Duke.
“How could that be… … .”
It was unbelievable.
In my memory, my older brother, Ruin, was always lying on the ground with a disastrous body reminiscent of a skull.
A person who was so cruel that it was difficult even to sympathize with those who were watching.
It was hard for Dane to admit that his older brother, who had been living such a miserable life, suddenly appeared healthy.
“I’ll have to see for myself. Guide me.”
“huh!”
When Dane arrived at the training ground guided by Deash, Ruin just stood in the middle of the training ground and calmly looked up at the sky.
Deash with a strange face.
“Still doing that. I don’t know how many hours it has already been.”
Dane also had a hard time grasping what Ruin’s actions meant.
“You’ve been standing there all this time?”
“huh. long since morning. It never moved.”
Dane can’t hide his strange expression.
At least among the family training methods he knew, there was no such figure.
In fact, if you were training your family’s non-sword skills, you wouldn’t have done it at a training ground used by training knights.
“brother… … ?”
Ruin’s transparent gaze turned to his younger siblings.
Insignificant eyes with no emotion mixed in.
Dane managed to control himself for momentarily stepping back.
‘What, what!’
It wasn’t speculation or anything, it was the spirit of a pure person.
He was called the greatest genius in history and achieved the level of a three-star knight at the age of fourteen.
“What is going on?”
“… … .”
Looking at his older brother’s healthy body, Dane couldn’t think of anything to say.
It was obviously a dangerous body that would not be strange even if it died at any time, with the hideous skeleton intact.
The memory of the goose bumps at the sight of the veins pulsing all over my brother’s body is still vivid.
But it’s completely different.
Although it was still dry and lifeless, it looked solid and strong.
“If you have no business, don’t interrupt and leave.”
This time, I was about to step back in an instant.
Dane, who couldn’t understand himself who kept shrinking, bit his lip.
Rock-heavy pressure.
It was definitely the authority and momentum that could only be felt from his father or uncle Yukain.
Is this the older brother who was called the disgrace of the Hibern family?
Dane, who couldn’t admit that he was afraid of Ruin, ended up trying to come.
“What if you want to interfere?”
Ruin indifferently looks at Dane, who is showing fierce jealousy.
“A knight who interferes with the training of others… … .”
Dane laughed.
“It couldn’t have been training until then, right? If idly looking up at the sky is training, then breathing must be training too.”
Ruin looked up at the sky again with a disinterested expression.
I wondered what it would be like to see Dane as a child, but I didn’t feel good either.
Swordsman King Dane.
A genius knight that Lemadel Kingdom is proud of.
The youngest head of the Heibern family in history.
However, he was a pitiful warrior who scratched himself for the rest of his life under the name of a rare superman, a swordsman.
The reason why Ruin’s eyes are infinitely cold even though he would be glad to see his younger brother who came back from a distant time like this.
The fall of House Hibern.
It was because of Dane’s sin, the king of swordsmanship, that could not be justified by anything.
‘after… … .’
I felt like I knew it when I came back to the past and looked directly into his burning eyes.
Arrogance, a deadly pest that gnaws at the human mind.
That pettiness would entangle him like a snare and obscure his vision as the years go by.
If, at some point, the hardened arrogance faced the huge wall of the sword castle, Dane would claw at himself endlessly this time as well.
That’s something Ruin never wanted.
“A fool.”
Dane with a very distorted expression.
“what?”
Until now, no one in the family had ever heard humiliating remarks that even his father had never heard of, or called himself foolish.
“Did you not understand that simple statement? It’s even stupid.”
“what… … ?”
Pudeuk.
Dane’s lips were torn from how hard he had chewed them.
As long as he took pride in the great Hibern family, he was a Dane who never forgot his knight’s honor, so he couldn’t help but feel the greatest insult.
Soon, Dane took off his gloves with cold eyes and threw them at Ruin.
Took-
Ruin indifferently stares at the glove that fell to the floor after it hit his body.
“You probably don’t know that duels between blood relatives are prohibited by chance.”
“shut up! We, the Hibern family, do not consider those who have been confined from the family as blood relatives!”
Chanang-
When Dane drew his sword, Ruin laughed.
“You’re the one who threw away your honor.”
“what?”
In an instant, an indescribable frenzied spirit flowed from Ruin’s whole body.
“There is no knight who draws his sword even when he knows that his opponent has no weapon. There is nothing more worthless than mixing swords with someone who has abandoned chivalry. You don’t want to look like that, so get out of here.”
Even his own sword was insulted.
Dane, engulfed in unbearable rage, spoke as if chewing with the corners of his eyes quivering.
“Bring the sword.”
A mocking laugh appeared on Ruin’s lips again.
“Are you coming here to claim your honor? it’s virtual You know what a shame.”
“Shut up and get your sword!”
Ruin shook his head quietly.
“Mix a sword with a kid who doesn’t even know chivalry.”
After those words, let Ruin slowly start replacing his life force with the power of the blood god again instead of his energy.
– You really do want to die.
Gyrobel can’t understand Ruin at all.
He has already consumed half of his life force by summoning Jin of the Strong Demon.
Since we are mortals who have no choice but to live a limited life, we have no choice but to value time more than any other being.
Truly, this was the first time a human being had ever treated his life so trivially.
– I’m not very interested in what your trivial life is doing. However, if the life force is repeatedly replaced like that, the four main blood vessels may be broken.
Louin laughed.
That self-respecting Devil God was not worried about himself right now.
He is concerned that his vision may be broken by such a kid.
However, if I hadn’t been prepared to this extent, I wouldn’t have returned to the past.
Ruin’s laugh continued to grow stronger.
“How long are you going to stand like that?”
At that moment, the power of the Heibern family’s Martial War Sword emanated from the Dane’s sword.
The kingdom’s best swordsmanship, also known as Lion’s Sword, is a swordsmanship that specializes in occupying space.
Looking at Dane’s sword, which pulled out a perfect trajectory to the point of giving goosebumps, Ruin’s mouth was filled with a smile of satisfaction, albeit for a moment.
Chow-
The dazzling sword light brushed Ruin’s face.
Eventually, Dane saw it.
That meaningless smile reflected on the blade of the sword.
It was more bizarre that he was smiling than the shock of dodging his attack, which he thought was perfect.
The hair on the whole body is enough to stand on its own.
“aaa!”
Dane continues the offensive with a distorted face.
As the auspicious light began to radiate from his sword, Ruin’s eyes were full of color.
‘Are you starting to feel the Spiritual Aura already?’
Knight’s soul, Spiritual Aura.
It was still weak, but it was definitely the energy of the Spiritual Aura, which meant that the Dane was crossing the threshold of the 4-star state.
Considering his age, his swordsmanship was at an unimaginable level!
Indeed, it was the timber that would succeed the genius of the Lemadel kingdom, the Hibern family.
however.
Wood deok!
A violent hand that penetrated the gap in an instant and grabbed Dane’s armpit.
Dane gritted his teeth and tried to hold on, but the pain was not tolerable.
“aaagh!”
Ruin’s eyes were too calm, and he couldn’t feel a single ray of emotion.
“Full of gaps. Your sword is full of superficiality.”
Now, Ruin’s every single move was so powerful and cruel that even the superhumans of the continent were tongue-tied.
Rather, more people died on the battlefield from his chess than his magic.
The great mage Ruin, who has a reputation for cruelty, is known for his blood judging.
It was the strongest combat martial arts in the Great Demon War, recognized even by the god of demons, Gregora.
Of course, it was only scratching the surface because it was less efficient than black magic, but it was powerful enough for at least 6-star knights.
“Let go! let go! aaagh!”
Ruin grabbed Dane’s head, who was struggling in pain, and threw it to the floor.
puck!
“Feel it.”
As a Dane, I tasted the fishy earthy smell for the first time in my life.
Ruin’s mouth twisted grotesquely as if he was rather satisfied as he looked at Dane, who was looking up at him as if he were going to kill himself.
“That’s the bottom.”
Dane bites his teeth until they bleed.
The tears that burst before I knew it flowed without a break.
“Are you angry?”
“Lord, I will kill you! this insult! someday definitely… … !”
“The target is wrong, Dane. You should have been mad at yourself.”
The smile disappeared from Luin’s lips.
“You must have proudly boasted that you started to smoke your aura. But in reality, this is your ability. The terrible amount of practice that took me by the armpit and gave away my hair in just two sums. A genius who has been intoxicated by applause. Swordsmanship that has been eaten up by talent.”
“What, what!”
“Did you really have no doubts why this brother never lost his composure?”
“That, that!”
“Because he was a kid who had never experienced defeat, he probably didn’t feel the need to gauge his opponent’s skills. Since the training knights matched the match, he must have been excited as if he had become a real knight.”
Taang-
pop-
Dane’s sword broke at Ruin’s hand movements.
“W-what are you doing! my sword… … !”
Dane looked down in anger and closed his mouth tightly.
It was because I couldn’t possibly read what reason and power were contained in his brother’s light gestures.
“You don’t deserve a real sword. Who the hell was the one who appointed you as a knight and handed over the real sword? Could it be Father?”
“What are you talking about! The King himself… … !”
Only then, as if realizing the identity of this immature arrogance, Ruin touched the tingling forehead.
The tricks of children always amuse the old.
The most powerful person in the kingdom of Lemadel raised himself up as the kingdom’s treasure and pride, and appointed him as a knight, so this fool got drunk on it.
“listen carefully. If this were a battlefield, your neck would already be twisted. It means one of those corpses that died without screaming on the cold dirt floor of the battlefield.”
“… … .”
Ruin let go of Dane’s hair and slowly raised himself.
“I will call you ‘corpse’ for a while until you can satisfy me.”
“Older brother!”
“You shut up too.”
Although she was a woman of misfortune, she was a foolish younger sister who had a great influence on the downfall of the Deashdo family.
“… … what?”
Deash hardened with a great shock at the first last words he heard in his life.
“The family does not exist for your vanity, Deache. If the only thing that fills your soul is those gorgeous dresses and accessories, you’d rather go out of the castle and live as an unknown sidekick.”
“Kyaaah!”
It was hard to hear, so Deache was screaming with both ears covered.
However, Luin never intended to stop.
“If you don’t put forth your family name, what will be left of you? If you’ve been going to the social world like crazy to catch the eye of men, who will pay attention to you other than that fancy dress?”
Ruin pointed at Deash’s gorgeous gold dress with a glance and held a sneer.
“You, too, are ‘dresses’ from now on until I like them. You are free to accept it, so go back and think it over.”
Be angry to your heart’s content.
Curse your own limitations and hate me to the fullest.
Go all the way to the bottom like that.
Ruin’s cold eyes turned to the blue sky again.
he knew
How frighteningly a human who has gone to the bottom can change.
As long as the younger siblings can crawl out of the bottom, the future of the great Heibern family will never be bleak.
