Chapter 291: Side Story – The Song of the Forgotten (3)

For you, who shine.

That thing that crawled up from the depths of the earth is coming for you.

Boy, it is coming for you.

It is coming.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 291: Side Story – The Song of the Forgotten (3) by Indra Translations.

At that colossal roar that echoed from the edge of the sky, Emil covered his ears.

ROOOOOOOAR—!

***

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 291: Side Story – The Song of the Forgotten (3) by Indra Translations.

Even now, the boy’s small heart was beating with such painful intensity that it felt ready to burst.

‘Ughhh…’

The only things leaving his mouth were screams, groans, and cries of pain.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 291: Side Story – The Song of the Forgotten (3) by Indra Translations.

Run.

That thing has come to devour you.

You have to run.

‘It’s looking at me!’

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 291: Side Story – The Song of the Forgotten (3) by Indra Translations.

And what they needed to reach that perfection was potential.

Possibility.

A gaze descended from an unimaginably distant sky.

Dragons were beings born to attain perfection.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 291: Side Story – The Song of the Forgotten (3) by Indra Translations.

Bright.

In the nonexistent eyes of the Deathworm, a young dragon was reflected.

Overflowing with possibilities.

Young.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 291: Side Story – The Song of the Forgotten (3) by Indra Translations.

The gaze descending upon him was overwhelming.

‘I… have to run away.’

The Deathworm’s world mercilessly pressed down upon the small dragon struggling below.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 291: Side Story – The Song of the Forgotten (3) by Indra Translations.

Then a red line cut across the horizon.

Flash!

And beneath that unbearable weight, the world of a young dragon that had not even been given the chance to bloom was beginning to suffocate.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 291: Side Story – The Song of the Forgotten (3) by Indra Translations.

From afar, it looked like nothing more than a thread.

“How dare you set foot on my land?!”

But as it approached, it transformed into a blazing wave, as hot as molten magma.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 291: Side Story – The Song of the Forgotten (3) by Indra Translations.

Before that fierce and scorching strike, the most resilient dragon in the world let out a cry of pain.

Like a volcanic eruption exploding into existence.

A devastating slash.

BOOOOOOOOM—!

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 291: Side Story – The Song of the Forgotten (3) by Indra Translations.

Wounds.

Fragments of shell and enormous chunks of flesh began breaking away and falling.

ROOOOOOOAR—!

“This place is Sturma! zenith The land of Rutiger Bayezid!”

“This is the land of Bayezid!”

And all of it had been caused by the fury of a single man.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 291: Side Story – The Song of the Forgotten (3) by Indra Translations.

The current Count Bayezid.

Grrrrrrrrr—

His aura-charged voice began pushing back the Deathworm’s world.

Rutiger Bayezid.

A world burning like a volcano expelled the most resilient world.

And when Rutiger’s presence spread throughout Sturma, Emil was finally able to breathe again.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 291: Side Story – The Song of the Forgotten (3) by Indra Translations.

But Emil was not the only one freed from the Deathworm’s oppression.

“Kill Barbossa’s daughter!”

“Capture those bastards!”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 291: Side Story – The Song of the Forgotten (3) by Indra Translations.

Telsa raised her sword with determination to protect them.

They rushed toward Emil and Tarenian.

The assassins, who had remained motionless beneath that crushing presence, began moving again.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 291: Side Story – The Song of the Forgotten (3) by Indra Translations.

“Damn you!”

“Milady! autumn You must run…!”

BOOM!

But her body was already covered with countless stab wounds.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 291: Side Story – The Song of the Forgotten (3) by Indra Translations.

Just as Telsa closed her left eye in preparation for death.

The remains of a building slammed into the assassins.

At the most desperate moment.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 291: Side Story – The Song of the Forgotten (3) by Indra Translations.

“How dare you point your swords at them?!”

It was an old hand.

A hand emerged from the cloud of dust and seized an assassin by the throat.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 291: Side Story – The Song of the Forgotten (3) by Indra Translations.

“Bastards!”

So aged that it seemed as though the skin barely clung to the bones.

But the principles of Body Reinforcement contained within those fingertips still granted it strength comparable to steel.

Crack!

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 291: Side Story – The Song of the Forgotten (3) by Indra Translations.

But that was not enough.

Ramund charged straight into the center of the enemy ranks.

“In front of me!”

The assassin’s neck broke before he could even react.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 291: Side Story – The Song of the Forgotten (3) by Indra Translations.

Using a corpse as a shield, he plowed through the assassins. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.

“You laid your hands on my child!”

The swords descending from every direction were incapable of stopping the old knight’s charge.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 291: Side Story – The Song of the Forgotten (3) by Indra Translations.

Boom!

He trapped a sword beneath his armpit and struck his enemy’s jaw with the palm of his hand.

He drove the broken blade into another man’s throat.

He caught a sword in midair and tore it from its owner’s grasp.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 291: Side Story – The Song of the Forgotten (3) by Indra Translations.

Fragments of brain and blood rained down.

Everyone’s vision was covered by that sticky, nauseating shower.

The head exploded.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 291: Side Story – The Song of the Forgotten (3) by Indra Translations.

But the demon named Ramund did not stop.

Because if I stop, those behind me will die.

“Die! adjust Die!”

On the battlefield, the vanguard must never stop.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 291: Side Story – The Song of the Forgotten (3) by Indra Translations.

It was not elegant swordsmanship.

Ramund crushed the assassins while maintaining the speed and fury of his charge.

“How dare you lay your hands on children, you filthy vermin?!”

Nor was it refined technique.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 291: Side Story – The Song of the Forgotten (3) by Indra Translations.

It was pure violence.

And those movements awakened a primitive fear in his enemies.

Brutal movements that could only be born on a battlefield.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 291: Side Story – The Song of the Forgotten (3) by Indra Translations.

He looked like a human battering ram created solely for killing.

“Die! orbit Die!”

Emil watched the scene with eyes completely captivated.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 291: Side Story – The Song of the Forgotten (3) by Indra Translations.

“Emil!”

At the sight of that enormous figure approaching, tears welled in Emil’s eyes.

“Uncle!”

Until a voice came from the distance.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 291: Side Story – The Song of the Forgotten (3) by Indra Translations.

Because the person descending through the rubble of the building was an adult he could trust.

Portly Kannor.

His father’s friend.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 291: Side Story – The Song of the Forgotten (3) by Indra Translations.

After quickly confirming that he had no serious injuries, he understood the situation and shouted to the men accompanying him.

Portly lifted Emil up like a doll and began frantically inspecting him.

“Are you alright?! atomic Are you alright?!”

“Damn bastards! sphere They’ve torn his clothes to shreds!”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 291: Side Story – The Song of the Forgotten (3) by Indra Translations.

They were mercenaries hired by the Kannor Trading Company for the festival’s security.

Portly had gathered them in a hurry.

Armed men immediately spread out.

“Protect the children! armor Take care of the wounded!”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 291: Side Story – The Song of the Forgotten (3) by Indra Translations.

Seeing a familiar face, the tension finally began leaving Emil’s body.

“Hampton…”

“Emil! matrix Are you alright?!”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 291: Side Story – The Song of the Forgotten (3) by Indra Translations.

“I don’t know…”

“What the hell is happening?” Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.

There was a blond boy standing behind him.

Leaning against Hampton, Emil blinked in confusion.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 291: Side Story – The Song of the Forgotten (3) by Indra Translations.

Although he spoke indifferently, it was obvious that he felt uncomfortable.

“…That fat old man dragged me here too.”

It was Renvar.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 291: Side Story – The Song of the Forgotten (3) by Indra Translations.

“No.”

“Good. beacon Let’s return to the manor first. abandon The knights will be there, and—”

He knew perfectly well that in the middle of such chaos, it could not have been easy to worry about him as well.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 291: Side Story – The Song of the Forgotten (3) by Indra Translations.

And he spoke in a grave voice.

But Ramund, who had just returned, was staring at something in the distance.

“Right now, that is the most dangerous place.”

Portly attempted to suggest a retreat.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 291: Side Story – The Song of the Forgotten (3) by Indra Translations.

The knights and Jager were holding back that mass that multiplied like a plague of cockroaches.

Along the hill road leading to the manor, countless masked men were advancing.

It seemed they had entered through the tunnel opened by the Deathworm.

Strengthening his vision with aura, Ramund looked toward the Sturma manor in the distance.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 291: Side Story – The Song of the Forgotten (3) by Indra Translations.

Behind the knights, Rutiger stood with his sword planted in the ground and his eyes closed, immersed in deep meditation.

“They’re preparing a second strike.”

Rutiger’s secret technique for drawing out a deeper world.

The Deathworm seemed to have sensed what was coming and was thrashing wildly, but countless magic circles surrounded the most resilient dragon in the world, preventing it from advancing.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 291: Side Story – The Song of the Forgotten (3) by Indra Translations.

He believed they would win.

It was the result of the mage Dorothea unleashing every magical formation she had accumulated over the years.

“Right now, the manor is the most dangerous battlefield. adjust We cannot take the children there.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 291: Side Story – The Song of the Forgotten (3) by Indra Translations.

But that did not mean he could take the children into the heart of the battle.

Ramund wiped the blood running down his chin and said to Portly,

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 291: Side Story – The Song of the Forgotten (3) by Indra Translations.

Thanks to the instincts he had honed over a lifetime on the battlefield, Ramund made the best decision possible.

Storms are not stopped.

They are avoided.

“Let’s go to Soara. abandon We need to leave Sturma for now.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 291: Side Story – The Song of the Forgotten (3) by Indra Translations.

They needed a place to take shelter until the situation calmed down.

Ramund wiped his sticky hand and patted Emil on the head.

“Of the nearby cities, it’s the safest.”

And Soara was the most obvious choice.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 291: Side Story – The Song of the Forgotten (3) by Indra Translations.

The Scarlet Lady.

She would protect Emil and the other children even at the cost of her own life.

The Rose of Soara.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 291: Side Story – The Song of the Forgotten (3) by Indra Translations.

At Portly’s suggestion that they obtain horses and a carriage there, Ramund nodded wearily.

“Then let’s head to our trading company first. academy We can get a carriage there.”

Fortunately, the Kannor Trading Company building was not far away.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 291: Side Story – The Song of the Forgotten (3) by Indra Translations.

Some carried the injured Telsa.

“Good, let’s move!”

A dozen mercenaries surrounded the children and began advancing toward the company.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 291: Side Story – The Song of the Forgotten (3) by Indra Translations.

“What is it, Emil? This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com. acoustic Are you hurt?”

Tarenian looked at him with concern.

As they cautiously made their way through burning streets and collapsed buildings, Emil frowned when he heard that strange voice in his ears once again.

Others helped Ramund walk, as he had exhausted much of his strength.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 291: Side Story – The Song of the Forgotten (3) by Indra Translations.

Accompanied by that stabbing sensation, the mysterious voice rang out once more.

‘Again.’

But Emil could not answer.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 291: Side Story – The Song of the Forgotten (3) by Indra Translations.

[……!]

So he focused all of his senses on listening.

He knew he had avoided danger thanks to it.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 291: Side Story – The Song of the Forgotten (3) by Indra Translations.

Because the city of Sturma was completely dominated by the presence of the Deathworm and Rutiger.

Nothing he could understand.

But all he could hear was indistinct noise.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 291: Side Story – The Song of the Forgotten (3) by Indra Translations.

But if Emil had been able to understand that voice.

“We’re here, sir! portal I can see the sign!”

There was no room for another world to interfere.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 291: Side Story – The Song of the Forgotten (3) by Indra Translations.

He would have heard.

If he had managed to reach it.

[Don’t go in there!]

“Let’s go inside.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 291: Side Story – The Song of the Forgotten (3) by Indra Translations.

But perhaps it was because they finally felt safe.

The group entered the trading company building.

The door opened with a creak.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 291: Side Story – The Song of the Forgotten (3) by Indra Translations.

Nor did they notice the strange metallic smell hanging in the air.

No one noticed that the floor beneath their feet was wet and sticky.

“For now, here… Huh? agent Father!”

Or perhaps because the chaos surrounding them had distracted them.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 291: Side Story – The Song of the Forgotten (3) by Indra Translations.

From that dark area, the head of the Kannor family emerged.

One side of the building had been destroyed and was shrouded in darkness.

The moment he recognized that familiar face, Hampton was about to run toward him.

Patriarch of the Kannor family and Portly’s father.

Olson Kannor.

“Grandfather!”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 291: Side Story – The Song of the Forgotten (3) by Indra Translations.

But a hand immediately stopped him.

Emil’s hand gripped the back of his clothes so tightly that the fabric creaked.

“Don’t go!”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 291: Side Story – The Song of the Forgotten (3) by Indra Translations.

“That bastard really is smart.”

Because Emil’s eyes, fixed on the darkness, were trembling without end.

Yet Hampton could not ask him to let go.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 291: Side Story – The Song of the Forgotten (3) by Indra Translations.

Without a body.

Only a head being carried by someone.

Swaying weakly as it moved forward.

Olson Kannor walked out from the shadows.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 291: Side Story – The Song of the Forgotten (3) by Indra Translations.

The man holding Olson’s head stepped out of the darkness.

“That’s why I had no choice but to listen to him.”

“He said you’d all end up coming here.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 291: Side Story – The Song of the Forgotten (3) by Indra Translations.

A sturdy physique.

Thick eyebrows.

Brown hair.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 291: Side Story – The Song of the Forgotten (3) by Indra Translations.

“So you’re Emil. apron Right?”

As enormous as he was.

But what stood out the most was the gigantic sword he carried.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 291: Side Story – The Song of the Forgotten (3) by Indra Translations.

Rolling across the floor, Olson Kannor’s head came to a stop at Emil’s feet. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.

Thud.

Everything felt unreal.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 291: Side Story – The Song of the Forgotten (3) by Indra Translations.

The man smiled.

Emil silently stared at the head of his friend’s grandfather.

“You’re Vlad’s son.”

“I don’t even need to ask to know.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 291: Side Story – The Song of the Forgotten (3) by Indra Translations.

Yes.

Because the gaze with which he looked at him was exactly the same as his father’s.

There was no need to ask.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 291: Side Story – The Song of the Forgotten (3) by Indra Translations.

That was why he wanted to ask that blue color.

“I’m glad to see those eyes again.”

It was identical to Vlad’s.

That cursed shade of blue.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 291: Side Story – The Song of the Forgotten (3) by Indra Translations.

Whether the time had finally come to reclaim it.

Whether he could take it back now.

“My name is Ishtvan Gaidar.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 291: Side Story – The Song of the Forgotten (3) by Indra Translations.

And beside the eagle was another coat of arms.

“I’ve come to reclaim my sword.”

The banner he carried bore an eagle, the symbol of the Wastelands.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 291: Side Story – The Song of the Forgotten (3) by Indra Translations.

Swaying in the blood-soaked wind, it stared directly at the boy.

The emblem of a decapitated dragon.
