Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest

The head of an old man rolling at his feet.

Air saturated with the smell of blood.

Collapsed buildings.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

At least several dozen.

And, in the distance, the roar of the Deathworm.

Emil’s sharp hearing picked up the footsteps beginning to surround the building.

‘What do I do? aspect What am I supposed to do?’

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

“It must have been hard getting here. armor Honestly, I thought I was going to die.”

As if he were completely satisfied with the situation, Ishtvan scratched his chin and began joking around.

The moment he realized they were already surrounded, Emil’s eyes darted everywhere, but he could not find a single escape route.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

And at the end of that gaze, he found a horrifying scar.

Emil, who was watching even the slightest movement he made, unconsciously followed the direction of his fingers.

‘……!’

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

“Or maybe I already died once.”

It looked as though someone had tried to tear his throat out.

A deep, dark scar carved into Ishtvan’s neck.

Faced with that brutal mark, Emil swallowed unconsciously.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

Yes.

That’s how you should look at me.

A strange madness shone in Ishtvan’s eyes as he looked at Emil.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

Perhaps it was because those eyes looked so much like Vlad’s.

Because at that moment, Ishtvan was trapped inside a scene from the past.

Don’t ignore me like before while you looked at Godin behind me.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

But this time that boy was not ignoring him.

And that blue-eyed boy staring directly at him.

The assembled knights.

The impeccably maintained training yard of Daermar. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

Unable to separate reality from memories, Ishtvan swayed like a drunkard.

And then two shadows lunged at him.

The madman lost in the past no longer distinguished between Vlad and Emil.

“As it turns out, the prison those dwarves built was too sturdy. artist So sturdy that I couldn’t escape with my own body…”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

Taking advantage of the slightest opening Ishtvan had shown.

“You bastard!”

“Haaah!”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

“Ah…”

Ramund and Telsa swung their swords at the same time.

Perhaps the first and last opportunity.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

One was a sharp thrust designed to create an opening.

The other was the familiar aura of Body Reinforcement.

With a vacant gaze, Ishtvan watched the two auras approaching.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

Completely immersed in his memories, a crazed aura began pouring from Ishtvan’s left eye.

“Vlad!!!”

The same strategy Vlad had used against him in the past.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

“You damned bastard! athlete A back-alley brat who doesn’t even know who his mother is!”

“Guh!”

Booom!

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

Ramund’s knees buckled as he blocked Ishtvan’s sword.

The blow was so brutal that the ground trembled.

‘What the hell is this strength?!’

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

Even after taking the impact head-on, Ramund desperately tried to keep Ishtvan’s sword pinned down.

And right behind him was Telsa.

‘Now!’

With precise movements, she launched her sword.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

The combat style of a duelist from the Southern Archipelago.

A technique perfected over a lifetime of short engagements.

‘I got him!’

The rapier shot out from behind Ramund and curved like a serpent, piercing through the back of Ishtvan’s neck.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

The sensation transmitted through the tip was unmistakable.

Yet even amid that familiar sensation, Telsa sensed something strange.

Breaking bone.

Cutting flesh.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

“Move!”

Ramund shoved Telsa aside and raised his sword once more.

Booom!

Because Ishtvan’s madness-filled eyes were still staring at her.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

The enormous mass of the sword swept both of them away in a single strike.

“Aaaah!”

“Guh!”

This time it was a merciless horizontal slash.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

Buried beneath the rubble, blood began pouring from Ramund’s mouth.

Not even Body Reinforcement could withstand such destructive power.

“Once again you’re trying to trick me with those damned tricks!”

“Guh… Cough!”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

That cursed forehead that shattered my fists.

That cowardly sword that wore down my endurance.

“You think I’ll fall for the same thing again, Vlad?!”

My sword would never have been taken from me.

If not for that.

My father would not have died.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

To Ishtvan, imprisoned within his memories, it no longer mattered who stood before him.

My family’s banner would not have fallen.

“But that’s not going to happen anymore! riddle I’ve come back! arcade I’ll never be defeated by you again!”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

“Die, Vlad!!”

Someone to bear twenty years of sorrow, anger, and despair.

He only needed someone upon whom he could vent his rage.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

The gigantic sword rose.

Crack!

And just as it was about to fall upon the two knights—

As it reached its highest point, the very air seemed to hang from its edge.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

“……!”

A kick had slammed into the side of his head.

Ishtvan’s eyes shook violently.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

Someone had been waiting for that moment.

A child shining intensely with yellow light.

“Haaah!”

The instant Ishtvan focused all his strength into a single point.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

Like a sharpened arrow.

Like a yellow line cutting through the air.

Moving at terrifying speed, Emil struck Ishtvan’s head and continued his momentum until he smashed into the ceiling.

“The one who’s going to die is you!”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

Bang! arch Bang! beacon Bang! arrow Bang!!

Because a squire had no right to bear a sharpened blade.

Emil carried no sword.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

The same one that had crushed assassins only moments before.

So what he was using was Ramund’s body technique.

The yellow line moved so quickly it was difficult to follow with the eye.

‘Emil…!’

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

‘Don’t lose the flow!’

Triangles appeared endlessly around Ishtvan.

Those movements were the fundamentals of Body Reinforcement that he had spent his entire life perfecting.

But Ramund recognized it.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

With knees.

Sometimes with his forehead.

With elbows.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

Without a sword, Emil could get even closer.

“…Damned brat!”

The points of those force-filled triangles struck Ishtvan again and again.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

Emil constantly stuck close to him, destroying his ideal range.

The cruelty of a dragon exploiting the weaknesses of its prey.

The boy’s pupils had already become vertical, like a dragon’s.

Just as Vlad had neutralized Ishtvan’s greatsword in the past.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

Realizing that he would never catch Emil through speed alone, Ishtvan raised his sword once more.

But that was precisely why certain instincts remained.

“Graaaah!!”

Reason no longer existed within him.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

It was directed at Ishtvan himself.

Booom!

The sword came down with enough force to bring down a building.

And the resulting shockwave was not directed at Emil.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

“I finally caught you.”

“Aaaagh!”

An explosion of debris and energy in a completely unexpected direction.

Emil took the full impact head-on and was sent flying.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

Ishtvan’s entire body was covered in wounds.

Half of one of his thighs had been torn away.

But he smiled as though he felt no pain at all.

“……!”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

Emil’s head slammed brutally into the ground.

Crack!

Grabbing Emil by the ankle, he raised his hand.

A sound that should never be heard near a child.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

As if he were shaking a toy.

Ramund’s eyes trembled.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

Again and again.

But after three, four, five impacts…

At first Emil struggled to break free.

The boy’s consciousness began to fade.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

Trembling, Ramund managed to get to his feet and grabbed Ishtvan’s wrist.

“No! anchor No!”

But the violence continued.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

Relentless.

Faced with that absolute madness, both Ramund’s aura and the blessing protecting Emil began to weaken.

Crushing.

Booom!!

“It’s the red-haired girl! echo Kill her!”

“Don’t let her get away this time!”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

The doors of the trading company that had filled him with so much pride.

And when another explosion echoed behind him, he shut his eyes.

Hampton watched the scene unable to breathe.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

Had just been destroyed.

The doors bearing the emblem of the Kannor family.

“F-Father!”

And men dressed in black began pouring inside like a flood.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

But the enemy already outnumbered them several times over.

The remnants of the past continued advancing toward the children.

The mercenaries tried to hold them back.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

“Father! apron Dad! beacon Dad!”

The broken nest.

Only a few words remained to be spoken.

And when that wave of despair reached a child’s throat.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

Portly was searching Olson Kannor’s corpse.

‘Father! timber Where did you put it?! alert Father!’

But his father had no time to turn around and look at him.

The voice of the child calling for his father was heartbreaking.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

Not the head that had been thrown in front of Emil.

Like a madman, Portly emptied pockets, tore open the collar of the shirt, and desperately searched through the corpse’s belongings.

The decapitated body.

‘Father, please!’

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

It was a disrespectful sight to anyone watching.

A son rummaging through his own father’s body.

“…I found it!”

But Portly’s hands did not hesitate for even a moment. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

Because his father would have done exactly the same thing.

In Portly’s bloodied hand was a small brooch.

“Everyone get back!”

Because behind him, his little son was still crying.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

Portly bit his index finger and let blood drip onto the brooch.

The symbol that only the head of the Kannor family was allowed to carry.

“You damned bastards.”

When he opened the lid, a complex magical formula engraved with tiny characters appeared.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

A bluish light began running across his fingers.

It was an artifact that responded only to the blood of the Kannor family.

Without hesitation, he pointed toward the assassins.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

And at the same time, an icy flash tore through the air.

Booom!

His index finger exploded.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

“Guaaah!”

Snowflakes began to fall upon the mercenaries’ corpses.

“Guh…”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

At the sight of the sudden silence, Portly let out a groan of pain.

Turned into statues of ice.

And among that snowfall appeared the assassins.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

A type of magic indispensable for a family involved in the meat trade.

It was an artifact of extreme freezing.

“Guhhh…”

A relic that only the head of the Kannor family could use.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

“Sir Ramund…”

But it didn’t matter.

Normally it required a proper activation phrase and an exact amount of blood.

He had never imagined he would end up using it like this.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

Ramund remained clinging to his arm.

Ishtvan was still striking Emil like a madman.

Then he looked toward Ishtvan and Ramund.

This time he bit his middle finger.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

Even so, he gathered what little remained and began prying Ishtvan’s fingers open.

The old man’s broken voice showed that he had almost no strength left.

“Do it… hurry…”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

Every muscle in his body felt as though it were tearing apart.

His old body could no longer withstand any more aura.

“Guhhh…”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

All of Ramund’s remaining aura concentrated into his hands.

But if it was only for an instant.

Slowly, Ishtvan’s fingers began to open.

“GRAAAAH!”

“You worthless old bastard!”

The madman’s roar struck his ears.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

Then he quickly crawled over and covered Emil’s body with his own.

Booom!

But Ramund managed to free the boy.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

A monstrous burst of freezing energy exploded behind him.

“Guhhh…”

Body Reinforcement had been unable to protect it.

His back was left completely exposed.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

The tighter he held Emil.

He felt the ice beginning to spread through his flesh.

But the more he froze.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

Just like that time.

When he blocked the breath of the fastest dragon to protect Vlad in the middle of a snowstorm.

So many years ago.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

At last, the Kannor Trading Company building fell silent.

“…Sir Ramund.”

Snowflakes drifted down on a day that did not belong to winter.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

Holding his ruined fingers, Portly approached the old man.

The only thing he did was continue protecting the boy in his arms.

“……”

But Sir Ramund’s blue lips could no longer move.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

“I’ll make sure to get him to Soara.”

“I understand.”

Portly took Emil.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

Do what you must when your time comes.

They were vows every knight was expected to fulfill.

Protect the potential of the young.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

Yet in the final moment of his existence, he was a grandfather crawling across the ground to protect his grandson.

But Ramund did not act as a knight that day.

He had lived his entire life as one.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

“Let’s go!”

He never stopped loving him.

Until the very end.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

As he examined the street.

No matter how much pain he felt, an adult still had things to do.

Gathering the survivors, Portly hurried out of the building.

A metallic noise echoed behind them.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

GRRRRRR—

Normally it protected the company’s valuable merchandise.

Slowly descending. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.

It was the building’s armored gate.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

“…I suppose that artifact didn’t have enough power.”

Telsa smiled sadly from beneath the gate that continued descending.

But it should not have been lowering now.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

“He’s still alive. legend Or maybe he’s dead and still moving.”

And among them stood Ishtvan.

The interior was filled with ice statues created by Portly.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

Little by little, the gate concealed her figure.

“Telsa!”

Watching them with eyes completely consumed by madness.

“I’m already too badly injured. advance I won’t get very far.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

But Renvar grabbed her firmly.

Seeing her disappear, Tarenian tried to run toward her.

“Milady, remember this! autumn Your mother loved you!”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

Tarenian screamed desperately.

But the gate ultimately hid the knight completely.

“Telsa! palette Telsa!”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

She struck the gate again and again.

“TELSAAA!”

Booom!

Tarenian’s scream echoed through the ruined alleys.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

The despair of believing there was no one left in the world who loved her made her cry with all her strength.

With Emil slung across his back, Portly signaled to Renvar.

Under other circumstances, he would have let her cry as much as she wanted.

“We have to go!”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

“Let me go! arcade Let me go!”

“That’s enough! wizard We have to move!”

Renvar, the tallest of all the children, hoisted Tarenian onto his shoulders.

But there was no time now.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

Now Portly was the only adult left.

The dark-skinned child continued crying and struggling.

“To the horse market!”

But there are times when even grief must be left for later.

Without even bandaging his bleeding fingers, he led the children toward the market.

“There’ll be carriages there! galaxy It’s a horse market, there have to be some!”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

Surely they would find a carriage.

He remembered the place near the city gate perfectly.

The same one from which Emil had been thrown out.

A place full of horses.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

Just as Portly had said, several abandoned carriages stood there.

“There!”

And dead merchants lay scattered on the ground.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

They had probably infiltrated the city through multiple routes to spread chaos.

‘They reached here too.’

“Move!”

It seemed the invaders had not relied solely on the tunnel opened by the Deathworm.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

If they had already passed through here, perhaps they would be safe for a while.

— There they are!

After all, a storm does not usually devastate the same place twice.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

— Don’t let them escape!

“Sir…”

But the storm pursuing them was made of pure malice.

Renvar called out to Portly, his face pale.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

An avalanche of hatred that could not be stopped.

Because hundreds of assassins were descending the hill. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.

They looked like a black waterfall made of human beings.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

“What kind of answer is that? accent An adult is talking to you.”

“Me? alpha Why?”

“What is your name?”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

Even death can seem simple.

But when the path is clear.

Anxiety comes when you don’t know what to do.

Despite the desperate situation, Portly seemed calm.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

Portly had already harnessed the horses.

“Good. airport Renvar. palette Do you know how to drive a carriage?”

“R-Renvar.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

He had been born and raised as a noble.

“From now on, you’re the adult here. alien Get the children to Soara.”

And handed him the reins.

Renvar had never driven a carriage.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

“All right, children! absorb You’re going to Soara! anxiety Don’t look back!”

But faced with that strange presence Portly radiated.

He could not say no.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

Hampton’s eyes widened.

Then he opened the corrals.

“Dad!”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

“Dad, no! canvas Come with us!”

He understood what his father was about to do.

Hampton waited for his father on the carriage.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

“Son! absorb Catch!”

But the one who climbed into the driver’s seat was Renvar.

Portly simply smiled.

And waved his hand.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

Hampton caught the object thrown to him.

The same one that had stopped Ishtvan and the assassins.

The insignia of the family head.

It was the Kannor family brooch.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

The carriage was already beginning to move away.

“Son! advance I wanted to tell you before, but I never had the chance!”

Despite Renvar’s awkwardness with the whip, the horses chosen by Portly knew exactly what to do.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

Wheeeet!

A sharp whistle echoed throughout the area.

“Congratulations on becoming a squire of the Bayezid family! galaxy I’m proud of you! apple Your father got in by paying money, but you got in through your talent!”

It was a sound no man of the Kannor family could fail to recognize.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

Portly raised the whistle to his lips.

“Dad!”

And then the horses began charging out of the corrals.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

And kept waving his hand.

Hundreds of horses burst forward in a stampede.

Portly stopped the wave of hatred pursuing the children.

And crashed into the tide of assassins descending the hill.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

Upon the earth advanced a tide of hatred.

Above them, the Deathworm roared across the sky.

Until the carriage disappeared from his sight.

“Dad!”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

That day, the children lost their nest.

And from the ruined buildings came the screams of a madman.

As they left behind the blackened walls of Sturma engulfed in flames…

The time had come for even the youngest chicks to learn how to fly on their own.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 292: Side Story – The Destroyed Nest by Indra Translations.

The beating wings of those little birds departing for distant lands seemed unbearably sad.
