Returned Lord Wants To Rest - Returned Lord Wants To Rest chapter 107

Episode 107.

I checked the time floating in the air.

[6:12:43]

With less than a week left, he reached the level of half-body.

When he reached the half-body level, he understood Veles’s strength.

“If you have this much strength, you will be able to play with the Sword Master enough.”

Even the strength of the skin has changed thanks to the body being damaged and repaired several times.

Even if I didn’t have to wear armor or something, my skin was even harder.

“Once, but once…”

Two energies that only those who have reached the half-body level can possess.

I breathed that energy into the bracelet.

Then the bracelet slowly turned into armor.

“Ohhh…”

The bracelet that became armor became harder than before.

“I can keep using this.”

After collecting mana, the armor returned to the bracelet.

I removed the two necklaces from around my neck and held them in my hands.

“It’s a gift from Kylian and God…”

One was a talisman to wish for victory, and the other was an object to force sacrifice.

With force in my hand, I broke the necklace given by God as a reward for the ordeal.

“In the current situation that has reached the state of half-body, there is no need for insurance.”

The powdered necklace scattered and disappeared.

I put the necklace Killian gave me around my neck.

“This is enough.”

There is still time until the fifth trial.

During that time, I felt the need to learn about the half-body state.

“Let’s see…”

Looking back on my memory, I created life at the level of a half-body.

Of course, that life was a life that was not reluctant.

Perhaps it was because of the mix of demons.

“I am also in the state of a half-god, so should I try to create one?”

I gathered my energy and tried something called creation.

But the result turned out to be a failure.

“Hmm… I can’t get a feel for it at all.”

Cassias also reached the level of a demigod.

He also created, and also created in the ruins Odd found.

I thought it would be possible too, but it wasn’t possible at all.

Perhaps they thought it would have been possible without any training.

“Why can’t I?”

Could it be that the two energies he accepted to reach the level of a half-body are different?

“Perhaps.”

That said, there must be something that only I can do that they can’t do with the energy I’ve received.

it will come naturally

“Then there must be one thing I must do.”

Before I left this place, I had to get used to being a half-body.

It was because I couldn’t control my strength, so I didn’t want to have an accident outside.

“I must train again.”

I thought it would be more comfortable than what I had been doing so far because it is a training that controls my strength.

***

All the numbers floated in the air.

[00:00:00]

And at that moment, I was given a choice.

[Do you want to take on the fifth trial?]

The answer to that was, of course, fixed.

“no!”

I achieved the goal I wanted.

Of course, the process was different from what I had envisioned, but in any case, reaching the level of a demigod was the goal in Sanctuary.

And I reached the level of half-body.

In addition, power control was also possible to some extent.

“You don’t have to be in the Sanctuary anymore.”

It’s time to go outside.

“Get me out of here.”

Then the air parted and a dark space appeared.

It was definitely the way to the sanctuary I had walked on.

I stepped into the gaping void.

“what···?”

It was definitely different from when I came.

When I walked here, I couldn’t feel anything.

Just walking was all I could do.

But now it was different.

“It seems to be visible.”

The path I had walked was clearly visible.

From nob le mt l. co m

No, I didn’t see it, I felt it.

And I knew why.

“Is it because I reached the level of half-body?”

Spiritual power that can be felt as energy thanks to natural power.

As the elemental power merged with mana, in a way, I reached the level of a half-god with three kinds of energy.

And after reaching the level of a half-body, my telekinesis became stronger.

“For example, it must be taking over space.”

Like mana, telekinesis is always watching my surroundings.

Things that were not possible before became possible.

I was able to unite mana in the air with telekinesis, and I was able to send my mana to a place far away from me.

“You’ve definitely gotten stronger.”

I wasn’t sure because it wasn’t yet before I competed with Veles.

But one thing was certain.

“I won’t be easily overpowered like before.”

I walked out of the sanctuary, dreaming of revenge on Veles.

I see the door that led into the Sanctuary, and the door slowly opens as I approach.

And I was able to exit the sanctuary through that door.

“You have been here for quite a while. Congratulations.”

The first person to greet me outside the Sanctuary was the guide I saw upon entering.

I bowed my head to the guide and said.

“thank you. When is it, by any chance?”

“According to the Holy Empire calendar, it is 632 years.”

Ah… a really long time has passed.

I am already twenty-three.

“Hmm… I need to go home quickly.”

“We will prepare everything you need to go to Roto Kingdom.”

It’s me, there was no reason to refuse to prepare something.

“By the way, may I ask you a question?”

It was the guide who changed to a rather serious expression.

I nodded and agreed.

“Well, if I can tell you anything.”

The guide, who hesitated for a moment, opened his mouth.

“How many steps did you succeed in the ordeal?”

“I quit at the fifth step.”

My answer instantly changed the guide’s expression.

With an expectant look.

“Then… perhaps the fourth ordeal…”

I remembered the fourth ordeal.

Cold and heat… and fought alongside the different races.

There was one thing that impressed me the most.

“I fought the Black Dragon.”

“You said you quit in the fifth step. That means…!”

“Well… the end was futile, but somehow I was able to overcome the ordeal.”

Then it was a guide who shed tears.

“Could I ask you just one more question?”

I couldn’t hide my embarrassment at the guide’s reaction.

to shed tears all of a sudden

“yes···? Ah… yes, what.”

“Is everyone’s bondage over?”

“It is.”

At my answer, the guide knelt down and began to wail loudly.

I couldn’t understand such a guide, but I was able to figure out the reason in the guide’s self-talk.

“Seonjo-nim… Finally, the ancestor-nim’s wish has finally come true.”

Apparently, the ancestor this guide is talking about must have been Baran, a paladin who experienced the fourth ordeal.

After a moment of time passed, the guide who calmed down said.

“sorry. I showed you my ugly side.”

“Oh, no.”

“It was because of the wishes of our ancestors that our family became the guides of the sanctuary.”

“…”

I already knew what it was.

Perhaps Baran wanted to see someone else do what he couldn’t do.

“Come on, let’s go. You won’t have time for this.”

“yes? What do you mean by that?”

“While you were in Sanctuary, I was gathering as much news as I could about you. Then I heard the news.”

What the hell is the news that there is no time for this?

“They say that the Caldert family succession ceremony will be held soon.”

uh?

Family succession ceremony?

I remembered before the regression.

After all, it was similar.

no way?

“Where is my father ill?”

Obviously, Leia, a traitor to the Caldert family, was punished.

There was no reason for his father’s health to deteriorate.

“Oh, you are not retiring because of health problems. It is simply that it is time to step down.”

It was fortunate.

But why does this sound like I need to move quickly?

“I announced that I would start the succession ceremony as soon as you return.”

“Oh, is that so?”

In fact, it was right to attend the family head succession ceremony unconditionally if anyone inherited the same blood line, including the surrounding nobles.

It must have been delayed because of me.

“Well… I’ll have to hurry first.”

When I thought about it, it was because I remembered what I was going to do after the family succession ceremony.

“I’m going to get scolded for being away for too long.”

Thinking of my family scolding me made me smile for some reason.

“Then, let’s get ready right away.”

“Yes, I will get a wagon to go to the Caldert family right away. Everything is of the highest quality.”

“yes? How far?”

The guide smiled.

“You can also say that you are the benefactor of our family.”

“ah···.”

Benefactor.

Come to think of it, I needed to tell the descendants of Baran the most important thing.

“I forgot to say this. The stigma of Baran being a traitor has been lifted. All misunderstandings with them, especially Midria, have been resolved.”

Without saying a word, the guide turned around and started walking.

“I will prepare a wagon.”

The guide’s shoulders were shaking, and he seemed to be in tears.

I quietly followed the guide.

***

I looked at the Caldert family’s mansion through the carriage window.

“It’s been quite a while, but it’s still the same.”

As the carriage reached the entrance to the Caldert family’s mansion, a guard stopped it.

“Let me check your identity.”

“this person is···.”

I got out of the carriage and interrupted the coachman.

“Tell them that the youngest member of the Caldert family has returned.”

It was a guard with a dumbfounded expression.

It was the first time he had seen his face, so it was clear that he was a newcomer.

You probably don’t know my face.

“Tell him that Suhar Caldert has returned to watch his older brother’s succession as head of the household.”

On that day, a great uproar broke out in the Caldert family.

***

The whole family was at the table of the Caldert family.

And all the eyes of the family were on me.

I smiled shyly and said.

“hahahaha, sorry. I had no idea the trip would be this long.”

“…”

The entire family responded in silence.

It seemed that he was very angry.

Father’s mouth opened.

“There is only one thing I am angry about. Why didn’t you tell me?”

“That’s it… I didn’t even have time to send a letter.”

There was no way to send a letter from within the sanctuary.

To be honest, it was a choice I had no choice but to make.

“I mean that!”

At this time, Dave hyung sighed and said.

“It seems that Suhar is also reflecting, so I think it would be better to forgive him.”

But strangely, Dave seemed to be laughing.

“Dave?”

Dave gave me a thumbs up without my father’s knowledge.

I couldn’t understand Dave’s behavior.

After the uncomfortable meal, I headed to Dave first before going to my father’s office.

Because Dave called me.

I stood at Dave’s door and knocked on the door.

“Dave, it’s me.”

When the door opened, Dave gave me a big hug.

I was taken aback by a situation I didn’t understand at all.

“brother? Why are you doing this?”

“You came just in time! Thank you very much!”

I couldn’t understand Dave’s words at all.

“What are you talking about?”

And Dave hyung told me the story so far.

In a nutshell, it was this.

“You thought it was still too early for the family head succession ceremony, so you wanted me to come as late as possible?”

“Yes, that’s right! And Suhar, you came as late as possible as if you understood my heart!”

“Uh… that’s right…”

So, that’s what he meant when he gave me a thumbs up at dinner.

‘Thank you for coming late, so let me help you. Just trust me…’

I couldn’t hide my laughter when I saw Dave hyung like that.

“hahahahaha, that’s funny. Anyway, then, I will go see my father.”

“Okay. And he will probably tell you about it.”

“What story?”

“That you got an engagement job?”

At Dave’s words, I stopped thinking for a while.

‘engagement···?’

I hurriedly headed for my father’s office.
