Tulip Mausoleum (2)
“Huh? What’s going on? Why is it like this all of a sudden?”
Leje tilted his head as his beloved weapon began to show unusual reactions.
At that moment, Shelford and Arin quickly became polite.
“Inspector Shelford meets with the leader of the Death Squad.”
“Greetings to the leader of the Arin Sashinjo, the real-life inspection team.”
The Grim Reaper Group.
It was one of the few assassination organizations run by Ragnar, and was also famous for being created by hand by Rje, recruiting talented individuals one by one.
A place that can practically be called her personal guard.
However, his skills were so certain that a rumor spread throughout the North that “wherever the Grim Reaper moves, only death follows.”
“That’s okay. Anyway, I’m not here as the leader of the Shinigami clan, but as the successor.”
‘Qualifications of successor?’
What does this mean?
As Theo was questioning, Leje suddenly looked at Theo and smiled, and the new body shook.
Ouch!
Theo instinctively and quickly pulled out Drake’s blade,
Chaaang!
The scythe that had reached the nape of his neck suddenly stopped.
Zeeing! Zeeing!
He shook his body violently as if he was wasting the scythe.
“Tch. That’s too bad. I had hoped.”
Chachachang!
While Rje lightly clicked his tongue, Shelford, Arin, and Ray all drew their swords and aimed them at Rje.
Leje looked down at the three swords that seemed ready to stab him at any moment with a smile on his face.
“Oh my! I’m sure you said you came as the heir. If you think about it, isn’t this tantamount to treason?”
Leje repeated back to them exactly what Theo had said to the Dragon Society before.
“If I have to undergo an investigation by the Legal Affairs Bureau, I will gladly accept it later. But before that, we must first save our juniors. That is the Baek Gap-yong Corps’ motto.”
But Shelford paid no heed to Leje’s chilling threats.
“Oh. So Baek Gap-yong’s team is already on the sixth candidate’s side?”
“Think as you wish.”
“What a pity, ugh. I was aiming for Baek Gap-yong’s unit because they were neutral all this time. But what are you doing, honey? Aren’t you going to help me?”
Leje looked back at Wellington, who was smiling playfully and showed no reaction.
Wellington sighed lightly.
“… … Please, Mr. Rje, take care of what you did yourself.”

“That’s too much, honey.”
“And as many times as I have asked you, please don’t call me that… … . We are not related in any way, are we?”
“Ah, have you already forgotten that night when we were burning hot?”
In that moment, the gazes of the people around Wellington turned cold.
“transformation.”
Wellington was left reeling at Ray’s contemptuous words.
“That’s not it! And Mr. Rize, don’t say things that could cause misunderstandings! What happened in Taroban City was nothing more than a friendship as comrades, and there was absolutely no emotional exchange or behavior between men and women!”
“Hehehe. That’s enough for me?”
“It’s not me!”
Theo could tell exactly what Wellington and Leger’s relationship was.
‘Leje is following me around to try to recruit me.’
Leje’s desire for talent was strong enough to rival Julius’s.
She never lets anyone she has her eye on. That’s how her personal guard, the Sashinjo, was born.
So you must have liked Wellington even more.
His level of strength has already far surpassed that of his previous life.
Although he was overshadowed by Theo, he was worthy of being called a genius.
Moreover, since he had even received teachings from Denglong, Theo could no longer guess how much he would grow.
And then we even fought a war together?
It would be stranger if the eyes didn’t turn.
The problem is that Wellington doesn’t seem to be interested in Leslie’s love calls.
“It’s too much. A young woman like me is being threatened and yet you don’t respond at all.”
Of course, it would have been impossible for him to say something like that when he was over 170cm tall and had biceps as strong as a horse’s muscle.
Wellington now turned his gaze to the side, and Leje sighed.
“Ugh! You little bastard.”
“… … No matter what you say, it’s useless.”
“Okay, I got it. Then I guess I’ll have to stop here.”
The moment when Leje was about to bring down the scythe he was aiming at Theo.
“Who cares?”
“……uh?”
Leje jumped at the flash of light that suddenly swerved away from the scythe.
Chachachachang!
In an instant, Drake’s blade and scythe clashed repeatedly in the air.
Drake’s blade also boasted incredible speed that was not worthy of a greatsword,
Even though the scythe was nearly three meters long and had a huge surface area, it moved around in a flashy manner and deflected all sword strikes.
It was such a sinister movement that it felt like the god of death himself had appeared and was swinging his sword.

Chaeaaaaaang!
Eventually, Leje landed with his body twisted slightly in the air, keeping a clear distance from Theo.
“This is how you stop my Grim Reaper?”
When Leje raised his head again, a mixture of bewilderment and surprise appeared on his face.
At that moment,
Shhhhh!
Suddenly, three black shadows fell from the sky and surrounded Theo, aiming their scythes at him.
“To Mr. Leje.”
“The crime of pointing a knife.”
“By death.”
They were members of the Sashinjo.
He revealed himself when he clashed with Theo while waiting in the shade.
“Didn’t you hear what your master said a little while ago?”
But Theo, far from responding to them, still kept his gaze fixed on Leje.
Leje instinctively wanted to shout, ‘Get out of there, you idiots!’, but it was too late.
“Pointing a sword at the heir is tantamount to treason?”
At that moment, Theo’s shadow stirred and Umbra popped out.
Keeeeek!
A strike that sharpens the wing bones like blades.
At the end, it was mixed with spirit poison, so it was dangerous if exposed incorrectly.
“… … !”
“… … !”
“… … !”
The three crew members hastily retreated, but two of them were unable to completely escape the trajectory and ended up getting wounded in the abdomen.
The problem is that even if the wound is thin, the poison that has penetrated the wound instantly affects the nervous system, causing illusions and hallucinations.
Shelford, Arin, and Ray didn’t miss the brief gap and each took charge of one person.
Kwaaang!
After a brief skirmish, the heads of the three men fell to the ground.
And Theo was also kicking the ground hard.
Kwaaaaang!
Wedge-
As his heart pounded wildly and attempted to resonate with his danjeon, his body soon turned red and began to emit steam.
Knock knock knock knock-
Although not as great as when Dragon Blood was awakened, the awakening effect of the magic resonance was also very great.
Because the atmosphere surrounding Theo changed in an instant.

The way of hegemony.
Ragnar himself was right here.
“Oh. I can’t just take this and live, right?”
Leje realized Theo’s trick and smiled with his fangs exposed.
-Standing still after being attacked is something that Ragnar can never do.
-If you have been challenged, I will face it without backing down.
Theo was sending her that message.
He is personally demonstrating that he is also a successor who is aiming for the throne.
“Okay. Let’s test if this older sister is worthy of it.”
Leje held tightly to his beloved bottle, the Grim Reaper, which had been with him since childhood.
The scythe boasted a blade so large and sturdy (!) that there was a legend that it was made by carving the spine (lower wing bone) of a dragon. It quickly became covered in aura and scraped the ground hard.
A black flame rose up with the heat of friction and enveloped the Grim Reaper and even Rje.
It was as if I was seeing a messenger from hell.
Just before the two people collided,
“I can’t stand that bird anymore!”
As the dragon suddenly appeared in the middle, they each deflected Theo and Leje’s attacks with one hand.
Kurururung-
Woof woof!
The powerful attacks were deflected to the side and struck the ground, causing the quake to shake the Flower Association buildings.
“Ahhh! What the heck! My little punk!”
Odd, who appeared a step late, opened his eyes wide and glared at Theo and Leger alternately.
“Honey, this is just getting interesting, isn’t this too much?”
“Stop talking nonsense and put away your weapon. Otherwise, either your weapon will break or your wrist will break, leaving you without a fight.”
“Haven’t you changed your personality after being with the Supreme Lord for so long? Your threats are so chilling.”
“Would you like to check it out yourself?”
“Hey. Then I’m at a loss. There are so many lynxes out there hunting for my neck.”
Rize chuckled and completely took the Grim Reaper away.
“You?”
This time, Deungryong’s gaze turned towards Theo.
Theo thought for a moment.
‘What should I do?’
In fact, sticking with it like this wouldn’t be beneficial to Theo.
If Denglong immediately steps forward to show his power, he will be unable to do anything and will only look like a fuss.
Even if that weren’t the case, if I got out of favor, all the goodwill I had built up would just disappear.
Above all, Leje’s skills were known to be at the level of the Yongmun Inspector.

Even if Theo awakens his Dragon Blood right now, it’s not at a level where he can win.
However, the reason why it was difficult to put the sword away easily was because the relic of the ancient dragon was right in front of him.
I don’t know how Leje is able to use the relic though.
Paaaa-
Look at that figure, gently shedding blue light as the day goes on.
It wasn’t an easy decision to make because I knew how much I could grow if I had it.
but,
“Because the Dragon said so.”
After much thought, Theo finally put down Drake’s blade.
The white steam that had surrounded him had also disappeared.
“Good idea. If you’re Winterer, you wouldn’t know, but this is a foreign land. Fighting between allies won’t do you any good. Besides, aren’t you two blood siblings?”
Although there is little sibling love to be found in Ragnar’s emotions.
Theo didn’t bother to point it out, but stuck his right hand out to shake Drake’s blade while pinning it to the floor.
“It was a bit noisy, but I’ll say hello again. I’m Theo Ragnar, a combat inspector from the Baek Gap Yonggi Unit. It’s nice to meet you.”
“Yes. Is this the first time we’ve seen each other like this since an official event or ceremony? It’s nice to meet you, Grim Reaper Rize Ragnar. But more importantly, could you let them go… …?”
Leje was holding Theo’s hand with a sly smile, but then suddenly his expression crumpled as he read Theo’s magical power penetrating his wrist.
This vile little bastard!
I wanted to shout that, but somehow the words wouldn’t come out easily.
It feels like my vocal cords are completely blocked.
“Wasn’t it a compliment to call Ragnar mean?”
“… … !”
Moreover, he opened his eyes wide at Theo’s voice that dug into his ear as if he had read his thoughts.
At that moment, the Grim Reaper that had been hanging on his back again shook like crazy.
Jieeeeeeeeing!
Just like when I first met Theo.
No, if at that time it felt like something was welcoming, now it felt like something was running away from it.
‘This guy was after this!’
Only then did Rize realize Theo’s purpose and try to protect the Grim Reaper,
[‘Skill: Hatchling Synchro’ is activated, awakening the latent thoughts in the Ancient Dragon’s relic.]
Theo had already awakened the Grim Reaper’s guardian.
Phew!
How the bastard of the Return Sword Family lives
