Returned Lord Wants To Rest - Returned Lord Wants To Rest chapter 79
Episode 79.
There was only one thing I had to do in the Sarkid Territory.
There is also a branch of the organization in the Sarkid Territory.
‘The Sarkid branch, so to speak.’
I had to stop by here.
What they did to control the Sword Saint was viciousness itself.
‘It’s using the parents’ heart.’
In the beginning, he manipulated the Sarkid family behind the scenes with the swordsman’s granddaughter as a hostage.
‘Obviously, if it’s as written in the book…’
It hadn’t happened yet.
So far, only threatening letters are sent to the Sword Saint.
The enraged swordsman tried to uncover the identity of the sender of the letter, but could not.
And later, when his granddaughter was kidnapped, Sword Castle became a puppet.
‘The reason I sent the threatening letter was simple.’
It was to implicitly let them know what a great organization they were.
‘It was a kind of warning letter.’
And he actually broke through the boundaries of the sword castle and kidnapped his granddaughter.
Of course, it was because of their abilities.
‘He must be the one with the most useful abilities among the members of the organization in the Loto Kingdom.’
A person with stealth abilities.
The Sword Master is the Sword Master.
A person with abilities that even a sword master couldn’t recognize.
‘Besides, it’s not possible to hide alone.’
The moment the person with the ability hugged the granddaughter, even the granddaughter was hidden.
The granddaughter screamed and called for her father and grandfather, but to no avail.
‘Perhaps even the sound is blocked.’
When I’m hiding, all the sounds I make disappear.
Even the popular ones.
An ability that even the sword master couldn’t notice.
It was Colton, the head of the Sarkid branch.
‘You have to catch it before hiding.’
This was my conclusion.
We also know the location of the Sarkid branch.
There is only one thing you don’t know.
‘It’s Colton’s face.’
They must also know that the Caldert branch has disappeared.
But they didn’t notice my presence.
They will simply think that the Caldert branch made a mistake.
So I wouldn’t worry too much about it.
‘As expected, the only answer is to go undercover.’
It is to keep an eye on the Sarkid branch.
It would be okay if he secretly got caught and after revealing Colton’s identity.
‘Or should I make a slightly riskier move?’
There was one other way.
‘I’m aiming for the moment when the sword saint’s granddaughter is kidnapped.’
The moment the swordsman’s granddaughter disappears.
It’s clear that Colton is there.
But it was uncertain.
‘Let’s think of another way.’
If the Sword Saint couldn’t find it, I might not be able to discover it either.
Be careful.
Missing Colton would be a lot of trouble.
‘Is there any way…’
At that moment, the wind blew.
Sand on the floor was picked up by the wind and poured onto one of the children.
“Eh, it’s okay. Sand got into your mouth!”
‘Yes, it was sand!’
A good idea came to my mind.
There was no need to worry anymore.
He headed straight to the Sarkid branch.
***
The Sarkid branch was also located underground in the slums.
And being underground really helped me with what I was trying to do.
‘There is no wind underground.’
If the inlet is blocked, there is no flow of air here.
Of course, there is a possibility that there is a secret passage.
‘There was no secret passage in the Caldert branch.’
It’s hard to conclude, but they wouldn’t make a secret passage either.
‘Because they don’t think they’ll get caught.’
Besides, it seemed that the moment it was discovered was the end.
Was it like that?
‘Even when I attacked the Caldert branch…’
Realizing that escape was impossible, there was no retreat for them.
Remains silent even when tortured.
In the end, all members of the organization caught in the Caldert branch were beheaded for treason.
‘They must be the same.’
I don’t know what the hell made them do that.
Looks like a fanatic.
I went straight to the Sarkid branch.
‘Because I don’t know who Colton is.’
The visible foot and foot were decapitated.
continued to go deeper.
how much did it cut
“Who are you!”
The man who found me shouted.
At the same time, many people came out.
All of them must have the ability.
“A guest.”
I smiled at them
But they couldn’t see my smile.
I mean, I’m wearing a mask.
And in an instant, they were swept away.
“There you are!”
He stabbed his sword into the air.
Then, out of thin air, where there should be nothing, a person appeared.
Interest must be Colton.
“how···.”
I couldn’t even say the word ‘I noticed’ as blood spewed from my mouth.
“I will tell you something special. It is sand.”
If you can’t see it, it’s enough to make it visible. Sand is spread evenly in the air.
And the sand that touched Colton got out of my control and disappeared in an instant and fell to the floor.
That said, the space where the sand was disappearing was that Colton was moving.
‘If it was like before, this high level of difficulty wouldn’t have been possible.’
It became possible after acquiring an innate ability.
“Pray… eat.”
Colton collapsed.
There was no longer a living person in this basement.
I looked around at the devastation.
There was not a single person alive.
‘I’ve become really weird…’
Colton’s ability cut off what seemed like an excuse to be dangerous.
Even though there are obviously other ways.
‘This wasn’t the best move.’
In the first place, I prepared for Colton by using sand.
So there was no need to kill them all.
I wasn’t a murderer.
But this… was the look of someone who enjoys killing.
‘It’s probably really strange.’
Could it be because of Cassias’ memory?
Or is it a matter of nature?
‘It won’t be a matter of nature.’
It was clear.
Because even before the return, until I read Cassias’ memories through the exorcism sword, I hadn’t made this choice.
‘Cassias Like…’
His memory changed me.
However, his resentment must be directed towards the demons.
Why do you feel the intent to kill someone with the same abilities?
‘It’s strange… it’s strange…’
I felt the need to suppress my murderous intent.
Anyway, the more I looked at the horrors around me, the worse I felt.
I thought there was nothing good about staying here anymore.
got out in a hurry
***
“Um… I’ll have to go see the swordsman.”
Hitting the back of the Sword Saint’s head was a joke.
It was purely because I, who had reached the level of a sword master, wanted to engage in a sparring with the swordsman.
“Then, let’s go.”
He headed straight for the Sarkid family’s mansion.
A guard blocking me at the entrance.
“This is the private property of the Sarkid family. Please reveal your identity.”
“My name is Suhar Caldert. I came to see the Sword Saint.”
“You mean Keron?”
I nodded.
As you can see, I am young.
It was natural that the guards didn’t think there was a connection between the old swordsman and me.
“Hmm…”
The guard thought for a moment and said.
“All right. Please wait first.”
The guard has gone somewhere.
It must have gone to the swordsman.
“Ohhh…”
I sat down where the guard had placed me and looked out into the garden.
There, a girl who looked to be about ten years old was brandishing a sword with a bright expression on her face.
‘Is it the right way?’
It looked like he hadn’t learned how to breathe mana yet, but his sword was neat.
She was a girl who seemed talented.
It’s probably the sword castle’s granddaughter.
A rumbling sound came from behind.
“Did you come!”
“Sword Saint.”
The Sword Master, who met my eyes, looked a little taken aback.
That’s natural.
“Congratulations.”
It was the Sword Master who noticed that I was different from before just by looking at it.
“It’s just not enough yet.”
“mmm…”
The swordsman began to worry.
I couldn’t help but be taken aback when I saw the swordsman who was suddenly in trouble.
He closed his eyes for a moment without saying anything and was lost in thought.
“sorry.”
The Sword Saint suddenly apologized.
Could it be that he even thinks that I have come to take revenge on what he has done so harshly so far?
I waved my hand and tried to deny it.
“I don’t think sparring will work.”
“yes···?”
The Sword Saint approaching me.
“Someone is after my granddaughter.”
“ah···.”
Well, that’s probably why it’s here.
I had something in mind about that.
“Look at this.”
I handed the bundle of documents to the swordsman.
As if asking what kind of paperwork it was, the swordsman’s expression crumpled as he passed the papers indifferently.
“What is this!”
It was the swordsman I was shouting at.
The bundle of documents I handed over was made through strict information manipulation.
To put it in a word…
[The Sword Saint of Roto Kingdom, Keron Sarkid. His granddaughter kidnapping plan]
Seeing this, it was natural for the Sword Saint to get angry.
I decided to explain in detail.
“You know I have a special ability, right?”
“hmm···.”
The swordsman nodded.
“By the way, right after the swordsman left, I went on a mission, and there were enemies similar to the group the swordsman mentioned.”
“organization?”
“Is that the performance troupe, guys with abilities similar to mine who did circuses?”
“Ah, it was.”
And he told me that the group and I had a quarrel, and that we had succeeded in uncovering the identity of the group.
“By the way, what is this document?”
“Yeah, I saw these documents after I destroyed the branch of the organization here.”
“This organization… tried to do what it says on this paper… I can’t forgive it.”
I said, agreeing with the words of the Sword Master.
“But it is a very new organization. I annihilated the guys here, but I might try again later.”
“i get it.”
The swordsman declared to me that he would define an organization called Noblesse as an enemy.
“First of all, if you have abilities similar to mine, you are more likely to belong to that group.”
And I told you the biggest purpose of coming here.
“Sword Master, let’s open a match.”
A smile was drawn on the lips of the swordsman.
“i get it.”
***
The match against the Sword Master was not a serious match like Pastard’s.
It was just a level to check each other’s skills.
And I was able to confirm the gap between Sword Master and Pastard.
‘I had a hard time defeating Pastard, but if it were the Sword Saint, I might have easily defeated Pastard.’
That’s how great the swordsman was.
But I didn’t think much of it.
That’s because I have powers.
Finally, the swords crossed lightly and the sword was put into the scabbard.
“You are amazing too.”
After all, he had been in the position of a sword master for a long time.
The swordsman was definitely not an easy opponent to deal with.
However, the expression on the Sword Saint’s face was very flustered.
“Hmm… the rate of growth is so fast. and···.”
I couldn’t help but be embarrassed.
A master of the level of the Sword Saint could feel the lifeblood of my sword.
“Has rapid growth become poison?”
“It won’t be.”
I don’t know exactly why this is happening, but I know what the problem is.
As long as I knew what the problem was, it was a force I could handle.
There are no elements that could be a problem.
“Hmm… It seems everyone has an idea. Let’s try to believe it.”
And I was able to confirm that a lot of people were rushing in.
“Father, what is this!”
Considering that he refers to the Sword Saint as his father, he was the current head of the Sarkid family.
I looked around.
It was a light sparring, but it was a place where two sword masters joined together.
The surroundings were almost devastated.
“You’re nagging again, please take good care of me.”
The sword spirit disappeared in an instant.
Left alone, I couldn’t help but laugh awkwardly.
